WHITE, MICH, March 5, 1884.

w HlIE, MlCd., mdICu y, 1OOf'
Mr.. Davis Mackley:-
The writer of this, you do not know,
and, in all probability, never will, per-
sonally. But you will undoubtedly
remember one of whom | speak in
this communication-my grandfather,
Mr.. Enoch Ewing. who is now in his
S5th year, and who resided in Jackson
County some 80 years ago. He is a
very eager reader Of the Standard, and
scarcely ever fails to see the name of
some old friend, or possibly school
mate Of his young days, which is
always news to him.
Two Standards come to our Office
weekly, one to Mr.. Benz. White, and
the other to Mr.. FL. M. Ewing. Of
course, it has more readers than sub
scribers. In fact, / hear so much
about Mr.. Mackley that really know
him about az well as I do our own
county editors.
I have just taken grandfather the
last Standard containing account Of
the robbery of Mr.. J. johnson. He
said he knew him in Virginia, and re-
members very distinctly of their Jump
ing and wrestling with each other
three quarters Of a century ago. Their
farms Joined each other in Jackson
County. Presently, the conversation
turned to the Mackleys, especially to
the senior editor of the Standard.
"Yes," he said, "Dave Mackley, his
father, and brother Jake were abo-
litionists 40 years before any one else
was, when not one man in thousand
r. .-'iaved their doctrine. But they
bnno to # an \ finally came out on the
big side" Continuing, he said; Il re-
member when, a great many years
ago, Harrison Shumate, John Shoe
maker, and myself were trustees Of
election. There was no abolition
ticket in the field. They wanted to
vote abolition so bad, they cut names
out Of their abolition paper and used
them for ballots. When we came to
count them, I questioned their valid
ity, and they were thrown entirely out
and their votes were lost. But we,
eventually, became abolitionists our
selyes. The only trouble with their
doctrine vast was premature. "
YES said grandmother, ''Davis used
to teach school. | remember it as
though it was but yesterday. One
night when he was staying with US,
he cried out in his sleep very loud and
distinctly, Extraordinary, boys,
SPELL Then, after a good hearty
laugh, grandfather remarked: Il won
der if he remembers when old Mr..
Null sued him for an old Stoves" and
then he went on to explain it to us
something about your getting the
stove to use in the school house where
you were teaching, etc.
Your small extra containing the
history Of the Lackey murder, the
hanging Of the Jones boys, etc., re-
ceived. Mr.. Lackey had great many
old acquaintance and schoolmates,
besides many relatives in this commu-
nity. Yours, A. E. EWING.

THEsOLD WAY,

THE.oLD WAY.
The wretch condemned with life to
part,
Still, still with hope relies;
And every pang that rends his heart
Bids expectation rise.
Hope, like the cleaning taper's light,
Adorns and cheers the way,
And still as darker grows the.night,
Emits brighter ray.
-Oliver Goldsmith.
THE NEW WAY.
The wretch condemned with life to
part,
Does not on hope rely;
He acts in Jail the idiots part
And feigns insanity.
Then Of proceedings in the case
The lawyers get stay;
Thus murderers live to plague the
race
And kill some other day.

MARRIED AT LONG RANGE.-One day
last week young lady arrived at New
Bedford, Conn, on the bark Veronica,
from Fayal. Thus young lady was mar
RED at the islands several weeks ago, yet
sngulerly the first glimpse of her has band
was obtained through the cabin window of
the Veronica, as he stood on Propeller
wharf, impatiently waiting tor the vessel to
come alongside the dock. The courtship
had been conducted by friends of the young
people. Photographs were exchanged, and
the compact was made. The bridegroom
forwarded 8 power Of attorney, and the
ceremony of marriage was performed by q
priest at Fayal, marrying the young glrl to
a man thousands of miles away. When
they met IN the cabin the girl bushed, the
husband smiled, and they prosaically
shook hands, Esch was apparently com
pletely satisfied with their venture, and the
husband bore hts young wife proudly
away.

Sweating APPLES,

According to the PopuLdr Science tel0s
apples do not sweat after they are gathered
Ia the autumn. Here is an account 0l
what takes place with them.
The skin OF sound apple is practically
protective covering, and designed for a
tvo-fold purpose: first tC prevent the in
gress of air and moisture to the tender cell
lular structure of the fruit and, second,
to prevent the loss of Juices by eXudation.
There is no such process rs sweating IN
fruits. When men or animals sweat they
become covered with moisture passing
through the skin; when an apple becomes
covered with moisture it is due to conden-
sation of moisture from without. Apples
taken from trees IN u cool day remain al
the temperature of the air until a change
to higher temperature occurs, and then
condensation of moisture from the warmer
air circulating around the fruit occurs,
Just as moisture gathers upon the outside
of an Ice pitcher in summer, This eX-
plains the whole matter; and the vulgar
notion OF traits Sweating" should be dis
PEELED from the mind.
1t is almost impossible to gather apples
under such conditions of temperature that
they will not condense moisture after beng
placed IN barrels 1t would be better ii
this result could be avoided, as dryness of
fruit is essential to Its protrac!ed keeping
Our northern autumns are characterized
by changes from hot to cold, and these o.
cur suddenly. The days are hot, and the
nights cool, and this favors condensation,
Apples picked on a moderately cool day,
and placed in a moderately cool shed, pro-
tected from the sun, will not gather moist
ure, and this Is the best method to pursue
when practicable.

ASHES CAUSING FIRE.-The fact has
long been well known that wood ashes
placed III kegs or wooden boxes, and set in
wooden out-houses, have set the buildings
on fire, even many hours afterward. Hence
the importance of putting such ashes IN
iron vessels, and of storing IN buildings of
masonry. This danger does not exist with
anthracite ashes. TIE imerican Agricul-
turtst states an experiment showing the
necessity of caution with wood ashes A
small hickory stick, partly on fire, was
buried In ashes on Wednesday, and on the
following Monday was found to be a mas
of live coal Wood ashes have sometimes
retained fire for weeks.
