A Co-operntive relerrnph Line.

Lewanee county, Mich, has coop
erative telegraph line which began by
two farmers connecting their houses
with q wire, and which has extended
until now it has sixty-tlve miles of wire
and ninety offices, two-thirds of which
are in farmhouses ard the others in stores
where the farmers trade. Every farmer
is his own operator, battery man and
line repairer, and can use the lines as
much us he pleases. They communicate
with each other, give orders TO the stores,
and receive carly information of impor-
tant news over their wire. Ono farmer
had his life saved by it. He took poison
by accident, and there was no doctor
within several miles, but he telegraphed
to the nearest one, told what was the
trouble. and was directed to fill himself
up with sweet mill, and keep filed until
the doctor could get there. The pre-
scription YVES successful. York

Careless Of His Appcarance.

An elderly and wealthy Patersonian,
with peculiar notions, one day recently
met an acquaintance in New York who
was shocked at his seedy, even ragged,
appearance.
"Why. you shouldn't 60 around SO, -"
demonstrated the careless mans fried.
"Oh, it's all right" was the reply.
Nobody knows me here"
A few days later the same person again
met the worthy old gentleman, this time
in Patterson, and, to his surprise, no was
again attired in the same negligent man
ner.
"Why, how is this? thought you
would fix up little when you walked
in Paterson" remarked the particular
friend.
Whats the use2' asked the elder
man, evidently somewhat annoyed.
Everybody knows me here. New

In 1875 the steamer Katahdin was caught
in Belfast by the freezing of the Penobscot
Bay and detained there three months. until
the warmer weather Of spring melted the ice
During that winter, also, teams passed freely
between Belfast and Castine. Since then
navigation on the Penobscot has never been
obstructed except temporarily by ice at the
wharves. But Tuesday the managers of the
steamship company gave out notice that the
Katahdin would not make another trip, the
Penobscot being closed for the first time in
thirteen years. The river and bay are moi
frozen so solidly as in 1875; but as the people
of Belfast win not probably insist on the
privilege of driving over to Castine on the
ice, it Is solid enough.

Portland Mr. Cleaves has been identified

Whence and whittier, flying legions,
From what empire, through what regions
Rules your dark, relentless sway?
Eastward Westward, fierce hosts sweeping,
Northward, Southwark, full ranks keeping,
Onward still and on Away!
What the stir in yonder cloud land9
Heaps on heaps, through woods and ploughed
land,
Armies white fall evermore;
Yet the storm-host still in motion,
Charges on DER earth and ocean,
Rides the wind on sea and shore.
Reigns one law in every season,
One all natures ruth and reason.
Tempest makes the calm more sweet;
Flowers Of Spring rough Winter tendeth,
Kindly fruits to Autumn sendeth,
By return of Summers heat.

Or. crandalI and the High school.

Candid criticism Of the conduct of public
officials, either by newspaper or by an in
dividual, is always in order 1t is emlnently
proper also to call attention in the public
prints to defects in the construction OF pub
lie buildings, and their lack of proper provis-
ions for the health and comfort of the people
who inhabit them. This kind of CRITICISM
always does good. The communication
in yesterdays Argus over the signature
of Charles r. Crandall was not of this sort.
1t purports to have been written for the pur-
pose Of calling attention to the bad condition
OF the heating and yentilating apparatus in
the High School building, but one need not
read far to discover that the real animus of
the article is something very different than
concern for the welfare and comfort of
hundreds OF beloved boys and girls" as the
writer in fine burst of pathos OBJ
serves. at is enough" says DR.. Gran
dali, ''to make saint swear to think of
the miserable jobbery, ignorance, nonsense
and waste that have characterized this So
called $4,000 improvement from first to last"
The Doctor apparently forgot while in the
throes of this magnificent outburst that it
was in the school committee of which
he was member that this 'so-called $4,000
Improvement originated Nevertheless such
was the fact. 1t was introduced there by
Col. Charles b. Merrill, examined by the
