Hook the fingers of the hand together
raise the elbows as high as the sAo1lders
and pull like shoemaker. The muscles
about the shoulder blades, to keep them
in place, are thus strengthened, and in a
short time enabled to fulfil their proper
Office. When lying on the back press the
head on the pillow so as to raise the chest
up from the bed on which you are reclin-

should hold the head erect. When stand
ing or sitting, where the head can press
against something solid, repeat the opera
ton. By little thought at other times
to use these muscles the difficulty may be
overcome.

Cap.ain RynOers.

The late Captain Rynders, who died in
New York recently at the ripe old age
of eighty years, was once . noted char
acter in metropolitan political circles,
The Detroit Free Press New York cor
respondent gives the following remin-
iscences of the political ''war hork :"
Rynders and his Empire guard were
loud partisans of Edwin Forrest ct the
time of the -Macready trouble.
Thee was n good deal of native
Americanism in the air, and they were
vigorously on that side. They did not
believe in Englishmen especially getting
much show IN New York, particularly
after the treatment Forrest had received
in London. The word went forth that
Macready must be put down, and
Rynders and his men took it up and got
ready to do their share of the putting
down. The Empire guard was well re-
presented in tie audience that gathered
in the Astor Place Opera house, now the
Mercantile Library building, the night
of the fierce slaughter outside. The
crowd in the street was tremendous, and
when the military opened fire the effect
was like that of mitralleuse
on a solid battalion. The people
withsn range were simply moved down.
None of those inside suffered any injury,
though If Macready had net escaped in
disguise before the desperadoes who
went there for fight succeeded in reach
ing the stage by swarm;ng over the foot
lights, there would have been bl0odshed
in the house as we'll as in the street. /
do not recall that Rynders himself took
any special part in that desperate affair,
but the organization, Of which he was
chief. certainly was not free from response
biiity for it. From that time, however,
the power of the Empire guard declined,
and few years later the guard ITSELF
dissolved and passed away.
Nothing gave Rynders more celebrity
than his Superintendent of the hanging
of the pirate Hicks. He wa the United
States marshal. and the duty of execut-
ing Hicks dcvolved upon him. Hicks
was a man of the most savage character,
and short time before his execution he
tried to add the murder Of Rynders to
his other crimes--the murder of the cap
tain and mate of sloop on which he was a
sailog. He was confined in the T0mbs
and aynders visited him there. GOOD
morning, Hicks, = said Rynders; but the
murderer gave only rough grunt In re-
ply. At the same moment he picked up
an iron stool that was Ia his cell, edged
around so that he stood between Rynders
and tAe door and was evidently making
ready for q death-blow. Rynders took
in the situation instantly. The first re-
mark from Hicks wass They say I'm
baa man. snd he raised the stool as

The Christian Bible.

The revision of the early Protestant YER
sions of the Bible in different countries, and
the widespread interest felt in the work
among all classes, are among the many signs
that the Scriptures are not losing their hold
upon the minds of men. The study of COM
parative religion does not operate to weaken,
It rather tends to increase, the influence and
authority of the Christian Bible. Let any
one attempt to read the Koran, and he will
rise from the effort with profounder sense
of the depth of power that belongs to the
writings of the Prophets and Apostles. Edi-
tions of heathen scriptures and excerpts from
heathen sages which have been sometimes
put forth as rivals of the Bible bring no very
large profit to editors or publishers. The
Bible remains well-spring of spiritual life.
The conviction is not likely to be dislodged,
that within its hallowed pages life and immor-
tality are in truth brought to light The
progress of culture and civilization in the
lapse of ages does not lessen the worth of
the treasure which they contain.-Frons an
article on the revised rersion, in the Century
for Auqust.

Fraternnl Visit.

On Wednesday evening jolly lot of ladies'
and gentlemen, about forty in number, mem
bers of Fidelity Lodge, No. 20, d. of r., L.
o. .. F. of this village, chartered special
train on the marrow gauge" and made
fraternal visit to their sister Lodge, at Hart
ford. To say that they had an enjoyable
time, but feebly expresses it. 1t was an inn
mense time. Mirth and jollity reigned su-
preme on the trip, both going and return
ing. On the arrival of the party at the de-
pot they were met and escorted up town by
the juvenile drum corps of Hartford, and on
their arrival at the Hall were greeted with
cordial welcome such as Odd Fellows know
so well how to give.
AT the Hall, they not only met goodly
number of their brothers and sisters of Hart
ford Lodge, but also delegations from Sunny
side Lodge at Bangor, Prosperity Lodge, at
Breedsville and Paw Paw Valley Lodge, at
Coloma. All told, there were fifty six visitors
present and the elegant Lodge room was
packed full.
After going through the routine business,
and listening to interesting remarks made by
members of the different Lodges, the n. q.
announced that, for the benefit of parties in
the ante-room, five minutes recess would
be taken. No sooner was this said than,
greatly to the surprise of the visiting mem
bers, tables were brought in and nicely
spread, the entire company sitting down TO
refreshments elegantly served, consisting of
cake, ice cream and lemonade, which, as the
evening was oppressively warm, was most
acceptable and agreeable feature of the pro
gramme. This unique order of business
having been concluded, the lodge resumed its
ordinary session, and the brothers and sisters
having become better acquainted another
very agreeable hour was spent under the
head of" the good of the ORDER" the exercises
being varied by some fine vocal and instru-
mental music executed by sisters Matte
Blackman, Cynthia Bassett and Mamie Row.
land, of Fidelity Lodge.
At late hour the merry party broke mp and,
with many resolves and promises to put the
play again on the boards, in the not far dis
tant future, they sought their respective
homes, all feeling that it had been good for
them to be there.
The Paw Paw party reached home Just in
the beginning of the small hours of the morn
ing, and il is quite safe to say that their at
tendance can be counted on at any similar
meeting that may transpire.

The foregoing notice is supposed to apply
to the chap who recently played "UncIe
Josh" in this village, at Gobleville, and at
Dowagiac. The last time he was in the
NoRTHERNER Office he asked for little ex-
tension on a small balance he was owing for
printing, saying at the same time, that he
would return in a few days and " fix it up"
and that if he didn't do SO we might publish
him as rascal. He has not been back; we
don't expect him; in fact we are quite conf
dent he will remain conspicuously absent;
but we don't want to avail ourselves of his
permission to publish him we will leave that
