1 sing the boys OF Michigan, the hardy Wolverines,
The heroes OF a hundred fights, a hundred war-like
scenes!
Fnll-armed they sprang TO battle 10 the shock Of
And turned no more for friend or foe till victory
was won.
To-day the forests echo the ringing axes glide,
And the fisher shouts TO fisher a. they rock along
Tomorrow as the booms are swept down the piny
streams,
In the oiyouac OF battle they dream the soldiers
dreams.
They rally TO the East OF u.s. they rally TO the West
With ribbons and with roses knotted ON each manly
The rbbous and the that the hand Of love has
wrought,
In the -pendor OF the palace in the humble forest

From the mountains of Virginia comes the neigh
ing OF their steeds,
Aud the yalor OF the Union is emblazoned in their
deeds
They ford the blue Potomac, they camping by
the James,
An the blood that courses heroes veins they've writ
their honored names.
In the reckless raid with stonemsn, in the shock
with sheridan:
Now az Fredericksburg with Burnside, now at
Gettysburg with Meade,
Where the hills OF Pennsylvania resound to valiant
deed.

That the Rappahannock went the seventh

Like neteoric shower trailing through the lurid
night,
Come the troopers under Custer spurrcd and booted

There crashing of the cannon, and the angry mus

But tine troopers in the saddle and the torch is in his

I'm 1872 the the tariff on wool was
reduced 10 per cent. and the impor-
tations Of foreign wool increased from
$S,000,000 to S1S,000,000, besides
$200,000,O00 worth of wooden goods.
The price fell to an average of 23
cents per pound, involving a loss to
the farmers of over $100,000,00O in
three years. In 1875 the old tariff
was restored and during the next five
years the farmers made S150,000,0O0
from the rise in wool. 1t is estimated
that the last tariff reduction cost the
farmers of Michigan S600,000.-CAn-

Funerals in France.

There is one French custom We
should like to see introduced into
the United States, and become uni.
yersal. In France, when a funeral
passes, every man raises his hat to
salute it. The deceased person
may have been a child, a pauper,
or a beggaE it is no matter; the cor.
tege is saluted BY every man,
whether he be prince, millionaire,
or mendicant. 1t Is a good and
lovely custom. Few things are
more humiliating than to see a fu.
neral trotting down broadway, in
New York, winding in and out
among the Sehicles and other Oh.
struCtions, exciting no more re-
mark or attention than If it we're a
procession of old hacks goiugt to the
repair shops. In New York, the
rapid pace seems unavoidable, ow.
ing to the great distance to the
cemeteries. Elsewhere, funerals at
least move with a decent slowness,
and the evident sorrow of the fol.
lowers seem to plead to the passer
by for the sympathetic recognition.
IL were a mark of civilization in
US to bestOw it upon them.

Curious story.

One ofour best and best.known
knights Of the razor tells curious
story for which he vbuches himself
and brings witnesses whose. word,
as we'll as his own, cannot be i'm.
peached. Several days ago a man
called in for a shave, and taking a
seat in a chair, had his wants duly
attended to. The operator noticed
feather sticking out in his beard,
which was rather .wslrgtown, and
SuppOsing it had merely lodged
there started to pull it out. The
quickly stoppedhim ,saying,A
"Don't that hurts me-"
He then told our informant that
ever since his beard began to grow
that feather had had a place on his
check, and that pulling it out did
not check the growth, but rather
increased it. He had finally con.
cluded to accept it as inevitable,
aud accordingly never allows it to
be pulled out now, The feather
was very perfect, and about like
that ordinarily plucked from q
chickens tail.

Curious Notions.

By the Hurons the moon is call
ed the creator Of the earth and the
grandmother Of the sun. In the
myths of ottawas it is an old wo.
man with a pleasant white face
the sister Of the day star. The
chiquitos call the moon their moth
er, and the Navajos make it arider
on a mule,
Whore the planets are worship.
ped, preference in honors is gener.
ally accorded to the brighter and
more conspicuous star of the day.
But the BotucudOs Of Brazil give
the higher place to the moon and
derive most Of the phenomena of
nature from it, and in Central
America and Hayti are also people
who hold the moon in no less honor.
Curiously these people find their
counterparts among tribes of West
ern, Southern and Central Africa,
who rejoice with dancing and
feasts at each appearance of the
new moon, and expect an improve.
ment Of their condition from its
benefcens influence, and they are
not so far removed from the super.
stitious women Of civilized Europe
and America who wait for the in.
crease of the moon to change their
dwelling, to cut their hair, to be
married, and to baptize their chill
dren.
A belief existed among the an
cient Mexicans and Peruvians, the
NatChez of the Mississippi, and the
Apalachians Of Florida, that the
sun was the radiant abode Of dead
chiefs and braves.
To the Esquimaux Of Labrador
belongs the honor Of having discoy.
cred that the moon was the par.
adiso for the good, while the wick.
ed were consigned to a hole in the
earth; although some Of the South
American Indians and the Polyne.
slams Of TOkelau may be nearly
abreast Of them in the competition.
