Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1885-06-11

The majority report Of the committee
on military affairs, to which was referred
the matter of investigating the paying
of Friend Palmer 25 per cent for collect
ing a claim from the general govern
msnt, set down pretty hard on Governor
Begole for his part ia the transaction
and also on Begole and his Quartermas-
tor General Shakespeare, for the manner
the money collected was expended.

THE Secretary of the Interior has de-
cided that lands purchased by the
United States and transferred to the In
terror Department are to be regarded as
part of the public domain held in trust
for the people, and as on the same basis
of the lands acquired by cession. The
question arose from discussion of the
act of July 5, 1884, providing for the
transfer to the Interior Department Of
certain lands formerly used as military
reservations. The Fort Sullivan mill
tary reservation in Maine was among
the transferred tracts, and as the United
States had never held any public lands
in Maine the Land Office authorities
wished to know the terms of the title by
which the land was held.

DEGowIN has struck it quite right at last
Down goes the prices and in comes the cash.
Some grocerymen cry out ''lt's fraud and
cheat"
Because my low prices they never can beat.
But let them cry out and whimper and whine,
My goods are all paid for, of course they are
mine.
1 bought them quite right, and this yeu will
know,
Or I never could sell them at prices so low.
Some say I'll be bankrupt, but that's not a fact;
never wanted the benefit Of any such act.
Dollar for dollar always have paid,
And never had a dollar but honestly made. -,
pay no high rent, nor drive fancy rigs;
Can make good living with profits not big.
Five years 1 have labored right in this same
town,
thus paid for my store and goods now on hand.
For all these past favors I thank you kind
friends;
am not of the sort that only pretends,
But will sell you Groceries so cheap and so
cheap,
That no mortal in town in prices can beat.

The prospect for good corn and cotton
crops are becoming bright. The fields in
come sections are very grassy, but in the
| rolling lands of Richland, Fairfield, Ches-
ter and Lancaster the stands are excel
lent, and the plant, although backward,
Is in vigorous growth. The rains which
recently extended throughout the section
indicated have been of great service. All
along the line of the Charlotte, Columbia
| and Augusta Railroad the oat crop is be-
ing harvested. The yield is thin and in
different, In Columbia the sales of grain
harvesting machinery have been very
small.
The Agricultural Department has re-
ceived stalk of wheat, showing an eX-
traordinary freak of nature, from j. ?.
Gage, of Union. The wheat has a full
head Of grain, which is now ripe. just
above one of the joints on the stalk near
the root, and where there are no leaves,
two twin grains of oats are growing. The
stem OF these grains is about a quarter of
an inch in length and grows from between
the inner stalk and it's rough covering or
shell. A close examination proved that
there was no trick in the matter, but the
oats were rooted in the stalk of wheat
These grains of oats will be planted by

On Sunday night about 10 O'Clock a brill
liant meteor or 9rolite was seen to start
from the zenith and sink slowly down 10
the eastern horizon. 1t was exceedingly
large and majestic, and looked like a fall
ing globe of gas or fire balloon. No re-
port was heard. Tie phenomena was
visible in Abbeville county. One Of the
largest arolites known in the United
States fell in Conway county just across
Gallagher's Ferry few years ago. The
mass weighed 175 pounds, and was pre-
sented to Gov. Hampton in 1876 bv the
gentleman upon whose land 1t fell. Prof.
Spencer F. Baird, of the Smithsonian In
stltute, was very anxious to obtain it,
and Gov. Hampton asked that it be sent
to him, but it was not done.
A member of the Legislature, returning
from a visit to Abbeville. reports to the
Governor in writing some information of
| cruelty to State convicts at work on tho
Savannah Valley Railroad. Two or three
weeks ago seven of the convicts were
whipped numerically because they did
not inform on fellow prisoner who had
filed his shackles in an effort to escape.
One OF the whipped cOnvicts was unable
to work after his harbarous punishment,
and last Sunday he died. Nine convicts
out of 125 have died in few weeks. Seven
of these unfortunate convicts arrived at
the penitentiary last night In an utterly
helpless condition. 1t is said the convicts
are worked fifteen hours, with one hours
! intermission. The Governor has dis
patched the superintendent and physician
of the penitentiary to Abbevllle to inves-
tigate the alleged horrors of the convict
| camp.

A WALKING Incubator.
From tAe At5dnv Ad0ertiser.


On Wednesday nj Zht a darkey went
into Greer g. FlOyed's store and took a
seat ON kit of mackerel near the front
door.
After awhile Andy Floyed thought he
heard the chirp of young chicken. He
heard it several times, and pretty soon
Arch .Greer's pointer dog had his atten-
tion attracted by the noise. After max
ing a search for the source from which
the noise came the dog came to dead
point in front of the darkey on the mack
erel kit.
Haven't you got young chicken about
you ?" asked MIR. Floyed.
"NO, sab; not u l knows Of" said the
darkey.
But the chirp was heard again, and this
time there appeared to be no doubt aDout
the locality Of the thing that was doing
the chirping. The darkey saw that he
would have to "show up" so he went
down into his breeohes pocket and drew
out an egg.
''Chirp," went the egg.
''Bress de Lawd, If dis aigg haint got a
young chicken in itP exclaimed the
darkey in surprise.
And sure enough IL had. The egg had
"pipped," and IL turned out that the
darkey was a regular walking incubator,
for he pulled out three pipped eggs.
Henry Hooks took the eggs and now has
two young chickens from them.

the citizens at the court house to consider
wh at could be done to secure the location
here Of high school or college, which the
Ebenezer Association of the Bap-
ttst Church propose to erect
somewhere in this district at
a cost of $4,000. In few minutes
the handsome amount Of 81, 800, besides
the building site, was subscribed, and a
committee was appointed to solicit fur
ther subscriptions and, it is thought, they
will soon get as much more. In cOmpari-
son to the size and wealth of the place,
this is more liberal than AtlantRs mag
nIfcent subscription to the building to be
erected there by the Young Mems Chris

Americus Republican: From every dI-
rection we have good reports from the
corn crops. The copious rains of the past
few days have made corn grow and -four
ish like green bay tree. Should no dis
aster overtake it, Southwest Georgia will
buy but little, II any, corn the next sea-
son. This is as II should be. Whenever
we make our own supplies at home we
will be the most independent people on
the globe. The cotton crop is also doing
well, while the rain has been somewhat
in excess of sufllciency, it has not in
lured the cotton, and may not do so.
Taken as whole, the prospect is exceed
Ingly encouraging.

Considerable interest is manifested in
Manatee county on the subject of i'm
proved dairy stock and methods best
adapted for their maintenance.
Corn IN the vicinity of the Miakka is
looking well and promises good yield.
More might be raised TO advantage, as
large quantities are imported yearly.
The first shipment of pineapples from
Manatee county was made last week.
The fruit was grown on Henry f. Carey's
place, In Braidentown, and it is of fine
appearance.
WatermelOns are now taking the place
OF vegetables in Manatee, being shipped
in large quantities. The late rains have
been so heavy and frequent as to injure
the crop to some extent in low places,
but the prospect for large yield is yet
good.
At meeting held at Starke for the pur-
pose Of organizing an association for the
promotion of the fruit and vegetable
growing interests of that vicinity, it was
decided to have as the title of the associa-
tiOn tNrhe Starke Fruit and Vegetable

100 acres out in trees near Starke, which
are growing rapidly. The company win

AS to who did the shooting is a

the shooting was intending TO kill the

upon whose shoulder he had one of his
hands at the time. II was upon this sup
position that Joe Mcconnell was arrested

prosecution tried to prove that there had

not sufficient to bind him over, and the

HEALTH HINTS.
Is Ice Water wholesome? Z?

Itdepends on the quantity that you drink.
Ii you drink quart of ice water at pull
when you are very warm it will be pretty
apt to disagree with you. If you eat two
pounds of beefsteak, it may not sit lightly
on your digestive apparatus, but would that
prove that beefsteak is unwholesomeq
From time to time doctors delight to ven
tilate their opinions on. this subject. Some
say that ice water causes ''Bright's disease"
but none of them give the facts from which
they draw this conclusion. There is hardly
thing that is pleasant to do that doctors do
not arise and grid up their loins and declare
to be ruinous to health. Some of them call
tobacco poison, though some men go on
for eighty years chewing and smoking with
great comfort and in entire ignorance that it
is poison.
Others call coffee poison, some denouuce
tea, and yet both these poisons are consum-
ed freely by mon and women sometimes for
seventy Or eighty years Some doctors say
that we ought to wear thick underclothes
all the summer, Others say that we oughtn't
to wear any clothes at all, and SO on. And
yet, doctors do all these thiags themselves
They smoke and chew tobacco, they drink
nnfIaa and taa aat bnt l,,aal f,r cd
gorge late suppers, and do all the things
that they say We mustn't do, including ice
water. For our part, we have always pre-
ferred to adopt, not the precspts Of the med
ca! profession, but their example.
Now, it is quite possible that ice water
may be abused by some people. 1t is SO
good that excess is always temptation.
But on the other hand, there are cases
where it may save life by lowering temper.
ature dangerously high, Taken in small
quantities and taken frequently in very hot
weather. it is very beneficial; for it pro-
notes perspiration, and thus lowers the tenn
peraturc by evaporation as well as by ab-
sorbing the internal heat. True, it is a
blessing that must be used wisely, and
never taken in large quantities-not largely
but frequently.
Such beautiful thing it is, too. Ifiuani-
mate nature has anything more beautiful to
show than thin, well shaped glass full Of
ice water, we should like to see it. The
crystals that oriental workmen spend years
in polishing into perfect spheres are not SC
sparkling, and as the dew folms ON the
| glass it seems To make coolness visible; il
breaches the most eloquent of temperance
lectures, and if it promotes Brghts disease,
we propose to venture one kidney ON it, any.
