Herman Funke, the agent Of II. Boxer & Co.. of
Nos 1O1 and 1O3 Duane-st. had his time fully o.
cupied yesterday denying to interested callers the
charges of Special Agent Osborn that his firm i'm
ported goods by favor of Appraiser McMullen, be-
low their true valuation and thus defrauded the
Government of Its just revenue. Mr.. Funke read
each statement that reflected on his house and made
a specific denial He prefaced his remarks also with
a general and sweeping denial OF ali wrongful acts.
He said
In the first place, Agent Osborn asserts that the
methods employed by these houses 10 escape the
of duty are nearly all alike. The foreign establishments
with which they deal really their houses then
he SAYS that H. Boxer Co.. OF New York, receive their
merciandise from Heinrich Boxer OF Antwerp" This
is untrue We get our goods from II. Boxer Co., OF

right under improper classification, and pay duty
them here under these incorrect invoices Not only
these statements false but we have never even had the
correctness Justice of our invoices ques-
, nrice we purchase them for on the other
side and have never had the invoices advanced The
proof of this statement the original invoices be fur

makes only one specific charge in proof We viii enter

GRAYLING THURsD JANUARY H. 1856. NUMBER

The spring days came. and all things
seemed 10 prosper. The English signora
took up her abode again in Albano, and
often visited the young wife and little Pipi-
no, who had not only recovered from his
accident, but was getting less lame under
the skillful treatment OF the kind doctor.
The boy was very clever, too. People be-
gan TO shake their heads wisely, and proph-
esy that he would do great things some day
"Ahl" they said; "it was lucky hour for
Lucia when she took that child. He will
turn ott genius'"
Sad accounts came froth Rome--sad
stories Of the life led by Enrico and Mad
dalena; but they meyer reached Lucia's
ears. Nicola guarded against that. To
him, also, the mere mention of the names
brought bitter memories, and no allusion
to them ever crossed his lips.
And so Lucia's life went on, passed in
tranquil happiness. The love she had ac-
eepted was honest and Sincere, not full of
stofmy gusts, like The passion Of Enrico,
but patient dnd unselfsh, filling every day g
c6mm6nplace duties with sweet and
thoughtful attentions. With her husband
at her side, Pipino growing mp, and baby
voices calling her mother, Incl has reason
TO bless the day she took the name of

Upon this plain, where rich Chicago stands
And rears aloft her palaces of trade,
The unbreeched savage ruled the virgin land.
Hunted the deer and wooed the dusky maid.
Then Wahnakee was Chief OF all the bands
That wandered ON the hillside and the glade.
A mighty people were the Illinois then;
Wahnakee was Chief Of fifty thousand men.
He reared his lodge down by the mighty lake,
Whose placid waters change not with the years.
The young men of his tribe he oft would take
And school them how TO hide their hopes and
fears.
And he loved glory, not for glorys sake,
But that 1t sounded we'll In other ears
That he had led his tribe against the Sioux,
Surprised these willy foes, and whipped them,
too.
wahnakee, on many field had shown his
might
Well was he skilled in Indian ways,
To cunning march and then as boldly hghk
No one was like him I'm those early days,
Whether in council, passions to incite,
Or upon Augurer's omens he did gaze.
He was a Chief, the mightiest in the land,
Born to the purple, and bred 70 command.
He lived his time, and then Wahnalxee died,
The Chieftain grand, the grandest OF his race.
His warriors grieved, his wife and children
cried,
F6nappt' 'rfhrnrg1 1sfohnus Nvalnnxe5-in6d;S
And q new Chief was chosen in his place.
The entire tribe has passed away from earth
And left no record OF its death or birth.

Mr.. James w. King, for fifteen years con-
nected with the Lansin Republican, has
retired from the position Of editor of the
paper to become the official reporter of the
Circuit Court of Branch and st. Joseph
Counties. In his valedictory Mr.. King
tells the circumstances which brought
him into the editorial profession.
"In the early part of 1871 1 made two
short hand reports Of speeches delivered
before the Michigan Legislature, one for
the Republican, the other for the Detroit
Post. The report for the former paper
caught the eye of that veteran journalist,
the late w. s. George, then one of the con-
tractors for the State printing and binding,
and general manager of the Republican.
Not long after he met me on the walk lead
ing to the old State Office building, which
stood on the site now occupied by the new
Capitol, and said: 4 have an idea that /
could use q shorthand writer to advantage
in dictation and would like to have you
come to my house for a trial meeting
was arranged, and at that sitting, with but
little hesitancy he dictated column article
which appeared in the Republican under
the heading 1dem Sonans.
~About one week after, while passing
along Micigan avenue, on the opposite side
from the Republican Office, / saw Mr..
George standing in the door, and he
beckoned me TO come across the street.
He then made me the following PROPOSE
ton: Mr.. King, if you will come with me
/ will give you the city editorship of the
Republican and $1,000 the first year
After recovering from my amazement |
said: why, Mr.. George, outside Of two
short hand reports, an abbreviated report
for the Adrian Times, and the dictstion
which You gave me, have never written n
\ line for a newspaper and l know nothing
about newspaper work The reply came:
you are Just the man have been looking
for and two days thereafter began the
| duties Of city editor" -' '.'-. A.'-'

at least five pounds Of powder and shot
was spread over space for every bird or

trustworthy medical writer says: "Prop-
