The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1885-12-31

The sincere missionary will do any
thing, make almost any sacrifice, in
promotion of the gacred cause he es-
pouses Some time ago the Rev. MIR.
Crutchler, an American divine of much
gentleness and love, went to the Island
of KrInkaloo. He soon learned the
simple language of the people, and was
delighted with the attentions which the
King bestowed upon him. One day the
good missionary said to his wife:
Nancy, we can not do too much for
the King, for the more we do for him
the better our cause will prosper. And
you know / am greatly DESTROYS of
making q good record over here. In
view of this / have been thinking of
something which, If accomplished, will
place us beyond the possibility OF fail
ure."
What is it, my dearf" his wife asked.
at is with regard to our daughter,
Pauline. At home, you know, she was
far from being a belle-in fact, she
never had an offer"
"Yes. know"
"Well, want her to marry the
King"
Il know that, but our daughter would
soon rule the place"
"Have you spoken to Pauline?'
"Yes, and she was delighted"
"Well, give my consent, but don't
you think that I'd better, make the ar
rangements?"
"Oh. no. You may know how to
manage an American affair, but it takes
me to manage King"
Several days afterward, while the fat
old King was walking in his garden.
the missionary joined him and said:
"You must be a happy man."
"Yes."
But there is one thing you lack"
"What?"
"An American wife"
"Humphp
at is fact"
Where can get herr"
"You may havo my daughter Pau
line"
"Humph!"
Il am in earnest"
"Well, bring her."
Pauline and the King were married.
Two days later the missionary and his
wife called on the King.
"By the way" said the missionary,
show do You like your new wife :"
"Good."
"Glad to hear it.
"Eat her yesterday"
The missionary groaned, and his
wife flying at him, exclaimed:
Il told you to let me manage that
affair You never did have any sense"
The kind old King, seeing the mis-
sionary's troubled state, thought to re-
ieve him by remarking:
"Me still hungry. Me eat your wife,.
too"
The missionary hesitated a moment.
and then replied:
mo, thank you, not to-day, though.
don't know how soon will call upon.
you"
The missionary has been recalled. -

ylctoria's Declaration of Her In-
 tended Marriage.

In the lately published Croker papers pretty picture is gwen of the scene in which Queen Victoria announced to her eighty three Councillors her intention of ally ing herself in marriage with Prince Albert. ''i1er Majesty was handed in by the Lord Chamber lain, and, lowing to us all round, sat down, saying: "Your Lord ships i've are all Lords at the Council Board) will be seated' She then unfolded paper and read her declaration. I cannot describe to you with what mixture of self possession and feminine delicacy she read the paper. Her voice, which is naturally beautiful, was clear and untroubled, and her eye was bright and calm, neither bold nor downcast, but firm and soft. There was a blush on her cheek, which made her look both handsomer and more interesting, and certainly she did look as hand some and as interesting as any young lady I ever saw"

Bashrul Men and Rich Girls.

It would seem that there are many nice girls signing for hus- bands who cannot get them, and for the reason that they are rich. This we learn from a paragrapher in the Cincinnati Commercial. And this is how he gives the anecdote: No doubt it takes pluck for a man of modest fortune to ask rich woman to marry him, and no doubt rich women often go unmarried for want of the ask
 ing. The writer once asked one of Boston's loveliest women, something past her first youth, rich, of excellent family and an altogether charming person: Miss L-, why have you never marriedT T am tempted to tell you the truth she replied, with vivid blush, nobody has ever asked me. I am rich and well and my own mistress. A man could offer me very little that I have not, except his love, and I fancy most men don't ap- preciate that trihe at its full value. At least they don't know-how should they ?-how much a true mans love Is to lone woman"

What Colorado Cattle Growers
 Want.

At the annual meeting of the Colorado Cottle Growers Associa- tion in Denver January 8th and 9th, it was agreed to ask the Leg islature to pass laws providing for a Stock Sanitary Board and a State Veterinarian who shall be Professor of Veterinary Science at the State Agricultural College; to pass quarantine law; to pro vide for horse roundups; to in crease the value put upon cattle killed by railways and paid for by the same to their actual value; and to amend the present laws in several particulars.
 In his address President Sherrer said: During last year some of our cattlemen lost considerably by Texas fever. The trouble is over now, and I would recommend that this association use its best en deavors to secure the passage of such laws by our Legislature dur ing the present session as will protect us in the future from con tagious diseases"
 The members of the association present at the meeting were found to be almost unit in opposing leasing the grazing domain as recommended by the St. Louis convention, or in accordance with any plan yet suggested. They believe that any general leasing law would result in centralizing the business of cattle growing in the hands of rich companies and freeze out the smaller herders.

HaDDy Thoughts.

Never lend a dollar if you haven't two to spar. Always have engagements, when in vited to Fair. Do not tell story unless you know the point. In the heat of loves first courtship
 banish pen and ink. Ere you fully are committed always stop and think. When you marry take the daughter
 not the mother too. Mothers always think their daugh- ters better far than you. Send your washing if it's ragged with out any name; When returned some other fellow will the laundress blame. Never converse on a subject which is Greek to you, Better listen than enlighten, wise men always do. Never bet unless you're certain; bet ting is sin, And the chances are that you'll be badly taken in.

The stock interest is largely represented in the present legis- lature and it is proper that it should be, as stock raising IS grow ing more rapidly in Arizona than any other industry, and is at least of equal importance with mining. It is necessary that there should be stringent laws passed. to pre- serve our herds from infectious diseases rendered liable by the introduction of Texas cattle, and to protect the stockman in his range and water rights. Several such measures will be brought be- fore the legislature at this session, which will doubtless receive their wisest 'deliberation and result in the passage of such laws as are needed to make Arizona the most favored section of Amer ica for the stock-raiser.-Globe Silver Belt.

Still Grinding at the old Joke

StIll ~TlhuAuS ht tnC OIU JOkS.
 Again we are called on to chron icle one of those sad accidents that sometimes happen when all IS joy and happiness. One of the brightest belles of Chicago was married last Wednesday, and after the wedding dinner prepared to start on bridal tour. The car riage was at the door, and just as the happy pair were driving off some one said, "Throw a slipper after them." The brides oldest sister, without thinking, stopped and pulled off her slipper and threw it at the departing carriage with all to deadly an aim. It struck the driver, killing him instantly, and then, crashing through the roof of the vehicle, killed both of the newly welded pair. In but few brief moments all that was left alive of the happy ones was one of the horses. The sister is overwhelmed with an guish, and the carriage is a total wreck.-Evansville Argus.

Peter B. Freer, of San Antonio, Texas, died in the lunatic asylum at Austin on the 18th inst. He had been in the employ of the Sunset railroad for II years, up to three months ago, when his mental faculties gave way. The San An tonio correspondent of the Gal weston News tells this strange story in connection with the sad event: "He died a raving maniac. The direct cause of his insanity Is unknown. Dark hints are made that draught of the dreadful loco tea was drank by him. Of this tea the Mexicans say it only takes one draught to render man insane, and all the stages of insanity, mild and violent, and finally imbecility, before death, is sure to follow. It is made from the loco weed. plant similar to the northern milk
 weed, which grows on our Texas and Mexican prairies, of light greenish color, and when broken furnishes milky sap. It is said that horses, cattle or sheep eating of this weed become insane, or locoed, as the Mecians say, and death very soon ends their suffer ing. It is very subtle poison, hard to detect by chemists, and Is sure in its deadly work"

 Irishman.-Be heavens, we are, and d-d fast too!
 They had not gone very far when the Irishman discovered a loaded car coming down, when he said: "Howly Moses, stop the kaar! We'll be kilt sure. Don't you see that kaar coming straight for us?"
 Stranger.-Never mind that; it will switch off when it meets us.
 Irishman.-It'll switch off, will it? Suppose it has no switch on?
 Stranger.-It will be all right; wait and see. Zip! the cars pass each other.
 Irishman.-Be heavens, that Is the first time that I ever saw kaars pass each other on the same track without knocking the divil out of the passengers.

A romantic young waiter-girl at hotel in Ontario, Can, came near losing her life the other day: by trying a foolish experiment. She had heard an old saying that; any girl who swallowed chick ems heart raw would have for a husband the first male person she shook hands with, and, believing the proverb, attempted to swallow a chickens raw heart, but failed. The heart stuck in her throat and would not move either way, down or up. A doctor was called in and arrived only in season to save the deluded girl from an untimely death by choking.

An official report states that a German expedition had formally annexed Oglet Bra kin, in the Dobruka country, a few miles north of Senegambia. A report comes from Sierra Leone to the effect that the German flag has been hoisted in the interior in that country, which has long been held by England.
