Signal Station.

Mr.. D. r. McGinnis, of the United
States signal service corps, was in the
city Monday for the purpose of arrang-
ing for the establishment of a signal sta
ton at this point. MI. McGinnis states
that the M. & NJ. railroad company Offer
to erect an observatory and take daily
observations if the city will purchase the
instruments. The cost of the necessary
instruments will be about $3.50, and Dew
ills Lake would be a complete station re-
ported i'll all the great dailies of the
world, and ip course of time a regular
salaried observer would be stationed
here by the government. The matter is
worth considering by II city council

here from Indiana suffering greatly
from rheumatism, at times so bad that
he could scarcely walk, came tripping

he had been cured of his terrible affiic.

him that he continued to battle his limbs
daily for a week, when the pain and sore
ness were entirely gone. This confirms
the medical theory that Devils lake
baths will cur rheumatism, owing to
the peculiar properties of the water.

Fire Alarm.

About 8 O'Clock Friday evening the old
TOWNSHIP straw stable in the southeastern
portion of the city was set on fire to get
rid of it, by order of the townsite agent.
1t went like a flash and so did the fire
gong and the fire department. CHIEF
Kelley checked the boys as they went
down Fourth street and told them it was
all right; and SO it was, but the funny
part of the business was that it was Judge
OBrien's bonfire and he ran faster than
anybody to put it out.

A "Reminiscences.

1t was in the early morn of a mid
summer day, 1858, when four persons
were congregated on a small pier wharf
in Buffalo's harbor, alongside Of which
was moored a small sailing yacht. The
party comprised three Buffalo lawyers,
and the writer hereof, being a nom
professional friend of the aforesaid
lawyers, who had invited him to join
them for a sail on Lake Erie on board
the aforesaid yacht A couple of
luncheon-baskets, together with a small
key of lager beer, had been snugly
slowed in the little vessel, when Lawyer
c. said: 1--WE will not start just yet,
as l expect that young law-stddent,
Grover Cleveland, whom I invited to
DO one of the party. will soon make his
appearance" And then, turning to a
brother lawyer, the speaker, in a
characteristic vein, continued: ''Mac,
do you know that young man Grover
Cleveland is quite a decent fellowP My
attention has been attracted to him
quite often of late, and I am free to say
that l consider him altogether the
brightest young man connected with
the profession in this city. l really ad-
mire the fellow. he is so full of good
sense. And he is going to make a good
lawyer, too, mind what I tell you. He
Is q gooa one. sound as q nut, and
worth saving"
Here the speaker was interrupted by
the arrival of the young man himself,
standing five feet ten and presenting
about 140 pounds avoirdupois. Then
the party of five boarded the Yacht,
and were 500 thereafter skimming
over the waters of Lake Erie, bound
for Point Abino and a picnic.
Now twenty-seven years have elapsed,
and 1885 arrived to find but three of
the party living. Lawyer C. is a
prominent attorney of lower Broad
way, above 60, s~ilver-haired, and rich.
That sensible young fellow, Grover
Cleveland, now weighs 23O pounds, and
is the president of the United States,
while the writer, '.along the cool,
sequestered vale of life." keeps the
even tenor of his way-out in the cold.

brought Billy Moore to the waters edge

tear down Wetenhall's boat house to
keep the flames from spreading. By this
time Dick Tuttle came to the surface.
His first words we're "My new breaches

hurled at Billy Moore across the now

saved the boathouse from being COM

1t was a sorry procession when it
moved through town, and a very damp
one withal. Some of the boys went to
bed to let their clothes dry and others
bought new suits. The yacht was righted
yesterday and towed to her moorings.
