A party of English tourists were coming
from the Yosemite last week, when one of
them, who had been dubbed the interroga.
ton point of the crowd, espied a pair of
brogans sticking in the face of the bluff,
toes down. Nudging the coach driver, who
CHANGED to be old Bill McClen athan, he
asked:
sab. driver, 1 wondah, what the doose
those boots are doing up theah2"
Old Bill scarcely glanced up as he re-
piled:
That's man buried up there, and the
boys were in such hurry that they did not
dig deep enough to get his feet in"
bah Jawve, that's very strange, ye

''But what's his being an Irishman got to
do with his being buried face down." asked
the now thoroughly aroused Britisher.
Old Bill looked at him in plying man
ner for some seconds, and then in a tone full
Of deep sorrow and establishment at the
tourists ignorance said:
well, do you see, we've got a sort Of su-
perstition out this way that on election day
every dead Irishman gets out of his grave

In the rooms of the New York Historical
society there is a splendid mummy of an
Egyptian priest standing up on end in one
corner, which looks as bright and fresh as
if he had only been painted last week. His
mummy is really not in sight. 1t is inside,
however, it being wrapped up in hundreds
Of yards of linen, and then placed in tight
fitting wooden case, which retains the shape
of the body. A face intended to represent
the deceased is Pointed on the outside, and
Is calculated to inspire the spectator with
any feelings but solemn ones. If the
deceased could see himself as others
see him, he would certainly laugh, or
perhaps get mad, for the face and
general appearance is strongly suggestive of
the Jack of Diamonds dare say he was q
very good man in his day, and it is a shame
that whoever put him up should fix him for
pcsterity in such AN absurd manner. The
entire outside of the mummy case is covered
with small ieroglyphics, which the gentle
man who showed me around said was
complete biography of the deceased. My
impression is, from some of the figures, that
the reverend gentleman was more or less
mixed up in a social scandal.
But expect you have heard enough
about mummie5 etc. Nobody pays much
attention nowadays to the ancient Egyp-
tans. They can't vote.

At u meeting of the Fire Department of
the city Of Owosso, he'd Saturday June
26, 1886, the following resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, The Great Ruler of the Uni
verse has in his Infinite wisdom removed
from our Department, our worthy and
esteemed Chief, Henry Woodard, and,
WHEREAS, The intimate relation held
during his membership, by him, with the
members of the Fire Department of the
city of Owosso. makes ii fitting that we
record our appreciations of him, There,
FORE
ResOIred That the wisdom and ability
which he has exercised as Chief of our
Department, will be held in grateful re-
membrance.
ResOLred, That the sudden removal of
such a man from our membership OF which
he has been the chosen Chief for several
years, leavesa vacancy and shadow that will
be deeply realized by all members of this
Fire Department.
Res0lced. That with deep sympathy with
the afflicted relations and friends, we ex-
press hope that so great bereavement
may be overruled for their highest good

ordinary intelligence and sound judgement.
1t is very seldom we find man following
the vocation of farmer, so well informed
on history, science, and current topics OF
the day. A glance at his library at home
will show something of his tastes in read
ing, as well as his intelligent judgment. l
have been told by we'll known friend
that he was about the best authority on
history in Shiawassee county. / can,
from personal knowledge, testify to his
familiarity with Biblical history, and his
researches into Assyrian, Babylonian and
Roman history.
Bro. Thompson was man OF strong
convictions. but he did not reach con-
clusion without the most careful research.
Such men are usually very emphatic, and
sometimes may appear to be too much
fixed in opinion, but they are positive and
positive men always have deep convictions.
Negative men never impress the world;
they never lead in reform. Positive men
only bring about revolutions. Luther and
Knox had strong convictions, hence the
Reformation.
But the best element of our Brothers
life remains to be mentoned he was
conscientious christian--he reverenced his
Maker, and was consecrated to Christ. AT
an early day when only fourteen years of
age, he became a christian. and a few
years subsequently connected himself with
a Baptist church. in New York. His con,
nection with this church was the result Of
matured study of the Bible, and the doc
trines peculiar to the Baptist denomination.
For more than fifty years he had been q
disciple of Christ and member of the
church. He was devout student of Gods
Word-a constant attendant at our morn
ing service, though living five miles dis
tant.
We all feel his loss and Shall greatly
miss his familiar form. He was also a
member of the Order represented here this
morning, viz: Corunna Commandery of
Knights Templar, under whose direction
the last sad rites were conducted. Our
Bro. would be credit to any organization
he might join. / have no doubt he was q
consistent member of this body. He Ger
tainly would have an intelligent apprecia-
ton of its principles and duties. hops
his virtues may be cherished by you all,
and that though dead, his character as II
man of honor, purity of life, and goodness
of heart, may have an elevating influence
upon your Order and lead you to embody
in your character whatever is noble and
pure and Christlike

THE BlTTERNUT HICKORY.

From MichauX's "North American Svlva."1
This species is generally known in
New Jersey by the name of bitternut
hickory: in Pennsylvania, and particu-
larly in the county of Lancaster. it is
called white hickory; further south it is
COMPOUNDED with the pig hickory. The

where the soil i excellent. constantly

times called swamp hickory. OF all the

that its leaves unfold a fortnight after

flowers are in pairs, each supporting
three flexible and pendulous aments;
they are attached at the basis of the
shoots of the same season. while the
female aments. which are not conspicu-

In some parts of Pennsylvania where
this tree is multiplied an oil is extracted
from the nut which is used for BURNING

But from these experiments. in which in

concluded that sufficient product of this
sort can be obtained to form a branch of
Industry; neither this nor any other spe-
cies of walnut is abundant enough in the
United States.
