Leo j. Leonhard, of Peck, called
in to this office on Tuesday last. lie
informed us that he was OH his way to
Jackson but did not mention whether
il was the prison he intended visiting
or some of his near, relatives in that
vicinity.
An exchange tells the story Of a
boy who was sent to market with a
sack full of roasting ears. After ling
ering about town all day he comes
home without selling them. When
asked by his mother why he had not
sold the corn. he said no one asked
what was in the bag. How many of
our merchants are like the boy? They
have plenty OF goods to sell. but fail
to tell what is i'm their sack. If you
expect to sell goods in this day and
age of the world you must open your
sack and keep shouting the merits OF
your stock and trade.
Our citizens have not abandoned
all interest in the Utica and Lexington
railroad. IL is too bad that tine project
was not attempted year or two earli-
or than it was. 1t is, however. fact,
that the people of Lexington, that is to
say, the directors of the company that
was organized, have not abandoned
the project. nor lost confidence in its
success. They have been assured,
within the past few weeks, by respon-
sible parties, that there is a strong
probability that the road will be built
during the coming year. The road is
needed. and would be profitable both

p. II. Phillips, of Port Huron,
J. w. McGrath, of Detroit, state labor
commissioner, held meeting in
Duties Hall on Saturday evening last.
Mr.. Phillips opened the meeting and
was followed by Mr.. McGrath whose
speech was devoted to the labor ques-
tion and protection, and consisted of
the usual denunciation of land grants
to railroads, and appeals to the pre-
judices of laboring men against capi-
talists. The peculiar thing about his
speech was that after reciting his So
called facts about capital and labor he
suggested no remedy. lie jumbled
his black board figures in such way
rs to make his hearers nervous and
many left before the conclusion of the
speech, although some of the statistics
he presented are very hard to pass by.
The audience numbered about $50 with
many republicans sprinkled in.

Carnival sports

Many of the sports carried ON in
Montreal, during the late carnival
there, would seem very novel to boys
and girls who live in the Estates"
One of TIE most amusing was hurdle
race on the ice. A hurdle is movable
frame made of split timber, or of sticks
woven together and usually two or
three feet high. The skaters would
jump over these like so many deer,
but it must have required good deal
of practice to jump at just the right
gRaaittfs! WIZ "stllff ffforg' lalfgnaDiu:
Several common barrels, with the ends
taken out, were placed apart at dis
tances of about a quarter of ii mile,
and at a given signal Il lot of boys
would start to run through them. OF
course each barrel could hold only one
boy at Il time, and when he entered,
the barrel would wriggle round 50 on
the ice that when he came out he often
found his head facing where his heels
had been. Then there was an exciting
race on snowshoes for prize of a sill

Policeman Donovan of jersey City
wishes he were dead. He SAYS that he
does not care so much about the $40
in groceries which the two burglars
took from MOnmouth-stre grocery
store in his presence early Tuesday
morning, but it is the way it was done
that mnrtifes him. About 30 in the
morning Donovan noticed light in
the store as he was passing, and en-
tered to find two men putting up gro
ceries. They explained without stop
ping their work that they were clerks
packing goods for "a neighbOring

Cremation.

The advocates of cremation in this
country have OF late displayed renewed
aggressiveness, and now seem to be
surely gaining ground. An association
was few weeks ago formed at New
York, others have more recently been
established at New Orleans and in
Kentucky, and within the week the
New England Cremation society has
been organized at Boston with Nathan
Appleton as the peryading spirit, and
means to build a crematory at once.
The leaders in this Boston movement
report that the cremation idea is
steadily growing in favor throughout
New England, and that many women
even are joining the society. The en-
/ listment of women III this cause is a
noteworthy Indication of the breaking
| down of the opposition to ineineration.
1t has long been clear that this dislike
has almost wholly grown up from the
sentiment Of the burial ground. An
urn full of ashes on a dusty shelf is not
as poetic an object as a tiower-strewn
/ grave under green trees. But senti-
/ ment must gradually give way TO the
conviction of hygienic necessity, and
the opinion is gaining ground that
cremation is altogether the cleanliest
and healthiest method of deconpOsi-
! ton.

A LADY STUDENT.
One bright young woman brought
$50 Young men to terms by very in-
genious performance al Il medical clinic
at Blockley almshouse last week
Three of the fifteen students Mt the
woman's medical college occupied seats
in the lecture room, and while waiting
for the lecturer, who was belated, the
class indulged in some noisy demon
stration, which was finally directed in
the way of playful banter to the women
present. Suddenly Miss \. NJ. Field.
one of the female students, who is
widely known as an eminent mission
AIRY in China, arose, aud, as she began
to speak. the noise was changed to u
respectful silence Gentlemen she
said. II have been for eighteen years n
missionary in China. The Chinese
have no medical science, and supersti-
tious rites are chiefly relied on in the
treatment of diseases. All the people
are i'll need of medical aid, but the
women are the needicst 4 Chinese
woman would under no circumstances
go t0 Il malc physician for the treat
ment of any disease peculiarto her sex.
She would be prevented by her own
womanly delicacy and by all the no.
tions of modesty held by those around
her. She would suffer life long agony
rather than violate her sense of propri-
ETY.. Her father, her brothers and her
husband would even let her die rather
than allow her to he treated by a male
physician. Full of sorrow for the suf-
ferings of these women, have been
looking in Christian America to see
what hope of help for them might be
here. have been very glad to find
that in some of Our great medical
schools earnest and self-sacriticing
women are fitting themselves for a
work of mercy in Asia and other lands.
Unless such women learn to do such
work well, there is no physical saliva
tiOn for those afflicted ones. And in
behalf of those women, who have no
medical care while they So sorely need
il, | ask from you the courtesy of gen
tlemen toward ladies who are studying
medicine in Philadelphia" AS Miss
Field sat down she was greeted with a
cheer, and member of the class ris-
ing assured the ladies in very gal
liant speech, that no annoyance to them
was intended. The timely remarks of
Miss Field had touched the Unborn
courtesy of the Young men and taught
them a lesson they will probably never
forget Philadelphia Record.
