Corunna correspondence Byron Herald:
Ex-senator Pulver came to Court this
morning and gave his friends an unbound.
ed surprise by wearing an out and out
white Harrison and Morton hat-a plug
hat. He is now back in the fold from
which he broke out when the Greenback

friend, with tears in his eyes, whispered
in my ear, ,r..

attend the normal or teachers term at
Alma college .-Robt. Smith, of the
Gratiot Journal, is being mentioned as q

elected he'd make good Congressman
More than seventy trains daily, pass

The most romantic of all the numbers
is the figure 8, because il can't be multi
piled any way or be got rid of anyhow.
Whatever you do it is sure to turn up
again as was the body of Eugene Arman's
victim. One remarkable property of the
figure (said to have been discovered by w.
Green who died in 184Wis, that all through
the multiplication table the product of 8
comes to 8. Multiply by what you like
and it gives the same result, Begin with
twice is 18; add the digis together, and
/ and make o. three tines 8 are 81; and
Q and are g.; so il goes up II times 8,
which gives 90. Very good, add the digits
and and are 1S and 1 and are 8, Go
to any extent it is impossible to get rid of
the figure O. Take a couple of instances
at random. $50 times 0 are 3,051 add the
figures and they are Q. 5,071 times are
As, $3.50; the sum of these digits is 81, and
2 and z make 8. The first two dIgits
make 8; the second two make o; and the
last figure is 0.

and Chas. A. Towne, of Marquette. OF the
latter he says:
Charles A. Towne, of Marquette, could
make a lively push for the nomination
were he so inclined, but it is understood
he Is not inclined to take the nomination
and thereby sacrifice his private business.
Towne would bring as much strategic
strength to the ticket, for he would offset
the smouldering animosty of university
men who are still sore over Gov. Luce's
university vetoes. Towne is university
man, class of 81. and one of the brightest
fellows that ever stepped out of that insti-
tuition. He also took an active part in
securing the nomination of Macdonald,
and the latter would probably have hard
time in deciding whether Royce or Towne
was most entitled to become his heir
apparent
