Thursday was Mr.. Ehrhart's birthday.
The skil1fu1 culinary artists of the Park
hotel took advantage of the occasion, to
present their popular employer with a
magnificent pyramid cake, profusely dec
GRATED. 1t tasted as good as it looked.
The Hunt Bros. could cater to the tastes Of
the most fastideous COMMANDERS in any
community. Besides that they are very
genial, courteous gentlemen.

Indian Jugglers.

1t is mistake, writes George Angus
tus Sala, to think that the snakes. are al
ways harmless which are brought round
to house doors and hotels in India by
the jugglers and Sanp-,ocllahS. An al
most universal opinion exists that these
men extract the poison-fangs from the
serpents kept in their baskets, and that
anybody may approach and play with
them as freely us their exhibitors. This
is by no means the case and many of
the reptiles which hiss and coil about in
the Indian verandahs are as deadly as
any to be found in the jungle. These
people tame and familiarize their snakes,
especially the cobras, which are then
disinclincd to strike, and become quite
playful and friendly, so that, unless sud-
denly frightened OF irritated, they dart
at the hand of the snake-charmer with
out erecting the poison-fangs or even
opening their mouths. 1t would, how
ever, be different and very dangerous If
stranger trifled with some of these
basketed serpests, and the Samp-Ual-
labs themselves occasionally fall victims
to the recklessness or confidence with
which they handle their captures. The
maharajah of Benares was kind enough
to send the entire company of his palace
jugglers for our entertainment. They
performed with much adroitness the us
ual series of Hindoo tricks. They made
the mango-tree bear ripe fruit from
seed, swallowed fire and swords, olsen
tangled inextricable knots, and, having
mixed together in water and drunk up
three powders, red, green and yellow,
one of them brought what seemed the
same powders forth from his mouth in
dry state again. Then they produced
large selection of snakes, of which
three were cobras, and one of these was
made to dance to the eourd and bansula.

A Good Lesson.

Under the above heading the Ann
Arbor Courier says:
There is remarkably good lesson
in the Rhode Island election for our
prohibition friends if they care to
learn it-and it is a good lesson
whether they care to learn it or not.
Those who favored the prohibition
amendment to the constitution Of that
state adopted at the recent election,
kept the question entirely out of pol
itics. The leaders there were wise
ones, and they sank all pretense of a
third party movement, and sought
aid from Republicans and Democrats
alike, neither of whom were given to
understand that they transferred their
allegiance 10 their own party in vot-
ing for the measure, but on the con-
trary all the temperance organizations
of that state, including the w. c. t.
u, thoroughly impressed upon the
voters the fact of the utter absence
of partisanship in the campaign. The
victory is not victory for the pro-
hibitionists as party, and had it
been fought out on that issue the
amendment would have been over
whelmingly defeated. These facts
can be CLEANED from any of the
Rhode Island newspapers if there
are any who doubt them. The at
tempt to ring the changes on the
great victory in Rhode Island as
victory for tie prohibition party as
party is mere bosh and utterly with
out warrant.

juggler declared it was truly dant-
watiah, and had his poison teeth. If
the sdheb-log would supply sheep or
goat. they might quickly see whether he
spoke true word" Eventually a white
chicken was produced, and Selling his
cobra by the neck, the juggler pinched
its tail, and made it bite the poor fowl,
which uttered little cry when the sharp
tooth punctured its thigh. But being
replaced on the ground the chicken be-
gan to pick up rice with unconcern, ap-
parently uninjured. In about four
minutes, however, it ceased moving
hither and thither. and began to look
sick. In two minutes more it had drop
ped its beak upon the ground. and was
evidently paralyzed, and unable to-
breathe freely. In another minute it
fell over upon its side. and was dead
with COMMISSIONS within ten minutes
after the bite. At Pahlanpur. the snake

That Michigan is Republican
State by decided preponderance is
beyond all question. The time has
come when it is the duty of the Re-
publicars OF Michigan, as Ole man,
to 60 to work to secure unanimous
Republican delegation in the 5oth
Congress. The traitors to our indus
trial interests that now represent the
majority of our districts must be left
at home and men true to the interests
of the people elected. To this end
there should be an immediate and
thorough organization. Such organ
ization must be effected BY our State
and county committees. AS we have
practically no head to our Stale CON-
mittee, an early State convention
seems to The TINES indispensable.
We hope this matter will receive the
attention It's merit demands, and If
VanZile will not call convention let
the call emanate from the other mem.
bers of the State committee, or from

The following from The Beacon
the organ of the Michigan Congre
gational churcbes-and which spake
the sentiment beyond all question of
nine-tenths of that strong religious
organization in Michigan on the ques-
ton of political work for the prohi
bition of the traffic in intoxicating
liquors. But read what The Beacon
says: "Rhode Island joins the ranks
of non-partisan prohibition States
and carries prohibition with hand
some majorit;es. Alabama and Vir-
ginia are rapidly following the eX-
ample of Georgia. Iowa, Kansas
and Maine have secured legislative
prohibition by non.partisan move
ments. Michigan is prohibition
State. Is there no hope of possible
union Of the temperance forces in
this State? Will any party so far in
sist upon having its own way as to
prevent the adoption of practical
prohibition? There is still opportu-
nifty for wise conference between the
leaders of the several parties looking
towards the adoption of a plan which
will unite the temperance forces.
Will any political party assume the
responsibility of neglecting this op-
portunity? Shall we have another
triangular contest with frui!less re-
suits? Disappointment now means
another two years delay. The Gecr-
gia law could be carried in Michigan
if given a trial. Will an tra-prohi.
bition movement defeat this end?"

FATAL

On Thursday morning, an nm.
known man was found killed on
tue drawbridge at this place at
about 1870 am. The mar was un.
known in this section, and there
was nothing on his person to prove
his identity. lie was discovered
by the engineer of the second sec
ton of train No. II, but not oon
enough to check his train until 1t
had passed over him, but the
engineer not feeling satisfied that
all was right, sent u man back to
investigate and oon received a
signal to back up, which he did,
and then found that the object was
Il man, who had been run over by
the first section. The acting corO.
ner Hon. G. p. Bowman, was imme-
diately notified and he held an in
quest. The verdict of the jury WAS
that the man was accidentally kill
ell by falling down the top or be-
tween tho cars, as he had evidently
tiled to board the cars while in
motion. 1t is evident that he
boarded the train going to New Or
leans, as his hat was found near
the east end of the trestle work and
his mangled body OH the draw,
with one leg entirely severed and
on one side OF the rail while his
body lay on the other. No blame
is attached to any one. The man
was buried by the county as the
railroad company claimed he was
not in their employ.

written We learn that the deceased
was John Broderick, from Liver
pool, Il sailor. His home was at

uniform without respect to persons.
Cool horses, nice comfortable bug
