The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1885-12-10

The reports of Col. Ingersolrs new
lecture, myths and Miracles show
that it is new only in name. There are
the same old jokes, the same fiippant
remarks about the Deity, and the same
reiterated phrase, 1T won't do" He
should apply himself to some other
subject, or try to say something fresh
about the theme he persists in talking
about. In Roberts own language, at

DIR. GAYToN, an English hospital
surgeon, has kept record of lO,4l3
smallpox cases. OF those showing gen.
uine vaccination scars the mortality
was about three per cent. OF those
who had never been vaccinated the
mortality was forty-three per cent.
This looks pretty convincing as to the
efficacy of vaccination, if anybody
really has doubts on the subject.

EUGENE SCHUYLER, in the last North
american Reuielc, has an interesting
paper on united Bulgaria" He says
Gen. Grant was very much interested
in the Eastern question, and while visit
ing Constantinople entertained some
friends 10y telling what he would have
done had he arrived before CONSTANT
nople at the head of victorious army.
Without entering into details, Mr..
Schuyler says lie would have occupied
the city, made provision for the safety
of all property, and then issued a proc
lamation leaving all ultimate arrange
ments to the European powers on one
condition: THAT the rule of the Turk
in Europe was to be forever abolished.

Cloud Work.

Visitors to the Catskill Mountain tops
will agree with me that it is hard to
find another sight equaling in beauty
the Valley of the Hudson on foggy
morning. Through forty-five miles a
soft sinuous rope of white, laid
straight, in half bitches and coils,
wider than the stream il wells by at
least an average three miles, by which
the eye follows accurately the course
of the river till it breaks through the
pass by Storm King. To see this gar
land lift is to see how clouds are man
ufactured. A slight breeze from the
east gently rolls and pitches the ris-
ing river mists up the hills, till half
way to the top of the mountains they
are allowed to rest for awhile. -Ne,C
York Erening Post

The highest chimney yet built in the
world has just been completed at the
Mechernich Lead Works in Germany.
The whole height of the structure is
approximately 440 feet, eleven feet of
which is under ground. The subter-
ranean portion is of block stone, thirty
seven feet square in plan; all the rest is
of brick. The plinth, or lower part of
the chimney above ground, is thirty
four feet square, so that the height of
the shaft is nearly thirteen times the
lower diameter. For about thirty-four
feet the chimney continues square, then
becomes octagonal in plan for little
distance, and finally changes to circu-
lar form, retaining this shape to the
top. The exterior diameter of the
shaft at the top is about IL feet. The
flue is IL ] feet in diameter at the bot
tom, and ten feet at the top. Until the
completion of this chimney that of the
st. Roliox Chemical Works near Glas-
gov, which is 434 feet high, had the
reputation of being the tallest in the
world.

a Sweet Victory.

Teacher-Now, young ladies, we come
to the subject in moral philosophy
known generally as "the kiss" Miss
Rubylips, if young man should at
tempt to kiss you, how would you act ?
Miss Rubylips--I should act on the
defensive-give him as much fight as
possible and eventually surrender.
"Why would you give him 80 much
trouble?"
"To make him more appreciative.
The fercer the battle the sweeter the
victory" -Philadelphia Call.

was not going to be hurt. II is true
enough that Bagaley is not in much dan
ger; and Bagaley's possible damage was
all the court considered. 1t did not touch
upon the fact that the road was being built
under false pretense that came under the
ban of the constitution of Pennsylvania.
The court was not in charge of the Penn
sylvania constitution. 1t did not think it
any of its concern that the promoters of the
road were building it for 5000, 600, and
stocking and bonding it for $40, 1000, 600, in
violation of Pennsylvania law. The deduc-
tion may be that, so far as the New York
courts are concerned, the Pennsylvania
constitution may be hanged.

That HOrrid Barbiere.

General Davis, the new PHILADELPHIA
pension agent, has been standing heavy
fire from the newspapers of that swelter-
ing town because he appointed one Col.
Barbiere, of Confederate fame, who once
wrotean anti Northern book to a 5000 clerk
ship under him. The colonel was an old
friend Of the general, who appointed him
because he knew him and liked him, and
he proposes to keep him for the same
reasons. We consider them sufficiently
good reasons both for the appointment and
keeping. Weknow of none better. They
are the reasons that would control us under
,like circumstances and it would be real
pleasure to us to hear the dogs outside the
gate spitefully barking while we enjoyed in
side the qualification of our desires and judg.
ment. The barking dogs of the Philadel-
phia journals enjoy it, too; they are never
more delighted than when they fall foul
of something to scold about; it is
so easy to scold, and it is such
relief. Especially in hot weather such
as this. They do not mean half of
what they say, but say il because they feel
like it and are too lazy to take something
harder but better to write about. General
Davis knows how it is, being newspaper
man himself but poor Col. Barbiere seems
to take it all in earnest, and offers to re-
sign. He says that the daily newspapers
always reflect the views of their constitu-
ents and that he is ready to take up his hat
and step out if the people do not want
him; though he is somewhat astonished
that they should get SO excited over a
small clerkship and its occupant. The
colonel, if he had ever had any connection
with the daily newspapers of the great cities,
would Fever have said that they reflected
the views of the people. This is just what
they do not reflect, unless by accident.
They have no afliliation with the people,
and no sympathy with them. Their judg-
ment goes wrong half the time when they
try to feel the public pulse and generally
they do not bother themselves with feel
ing for it they are content to feel their
own, and to crafty its specially malicious
beats.
