The Sentinel is ably edited, much more

a proper paper for the family to read.
The Sentinel is clean and in its news de-

A COUPLE of Polacks got into row
lately and one chewed up the finger OF
the other. A law suit resulted and the
person who played the cannibal settled
by agreeing to pay the costs and to pay
the nutilated fellow one dollar per day
while he remained idle by reason of his
INITIATED finger. It was rather costly
meal.

Henry's special mission seems to be to

Rev. MEAD HOLMES has more muscle
than religion, though he is said to
nave a good supply of the latter article
in him. Those in this city who know
linn would much rather that the reverend
gentleman would try to induce them to
serve the Lord than to engage in swap
ping horses or reach for them in belliger-
ent fashion. Lately he received notice
from White Cap organization to resign
from the city council of Rockford or re-
ceive visit from the dreaded organiza-
ton. He bought a pistol and invited
the fellows to come on. He is no coward.

TRAMPs are becoming numerous and

YOUTHFUL BRIGANDS.

For some time great many tbefts
have been committed In this city and not
few burglaries, all giving evidence of
being the work of lads. In a number
OF cases the perpetrators were discovered,
but the parties from whom things were
stolen were satisfied with the return of
their property and made no attempts to
prosecute. In some cases houses have
been broken into in day light while the
families were absent and a considerable
quantity of money taken. 1t now trans
pires that there are two regularly organ
ized bands OF lads in the city who do
thie7ing Systematically. 1t is said that
IN the hill south of the city they have
two caves followed out and here they
conceal their stolen property and hold
nightly orgies. They have means OF
keeping the caves warm and get a plenti-
full supply of strong drink and tobacco
which with cards make the nights pass
in royal robber fashion. The Pilot in
formant says this is no hoax; that one OF
the dens is near the foot of Eighth street
and one near the Sheboygan Lake Sbc,re
Road. 1t would not be out of place To
make little investigation.

THE SILENT LAND.

Over yonders the silent land,
That es at peace in the evening light;
The eloquent silence of beautiful hills
Staunch through the day and darke st night
At peace while the golden sunbeams creep.
At peace when the stars their pale watch keep,
Yet holding for me what my heart understands
AS message from out OF the silent lands.
Forever at rest; oh my beautiful hills!
Ger the keys OF the organ my fingers creep,
While str We to awaken from tones loved best
The dreams my beautiful hills must keep.
The low-toned, changeful. loving theme,
That rings like Q voice OF the silent dream,
Bringing the message SO solemnly,
That cries from my beautiful hills to me.
Sometimes there's Q mist Ger ny faithful
Ny beaut full land lies bathed in tears:
And the theme grows sad with minor tone,
Full of earthly wistful fears.
And nought can span the space between
Their weary waste and their rest serene;
Full OF reptning ID the strain
That somes for . message through the raiA
And again in the twilight hour
There are footsteps on this hill Of mine.
And CLEAN Of Angel raiment, pure.
Is seen on the distant heights to shine;
And angel faces, through evening mist
OF delicate, trembling amethyst
Look downward and smile, while with loving
hands,
They draw my soul to those Silent Lands.
Oh, my distant land my peaceful rest.
Hill and height of the strength above,
Lying at rest day after day,
Giving me hope. fe and love.
Bring me thy theme forever more,
Thoughts of the dear ones gone before,
Until in the haven of tender release,
find forever the Land OF Peace.

BUILT UPON SAW.pUST.

The Peculiar Soil en Which Rests One Of
Michigan's Prosperous Cities.
twenty-five years ago, East Sagi.
nav. Mich, was q scattering hamlet,
built here and there among and along
the edges Of swamps and bayous, Dor
dering the Saginaw river. Tho saw
dust and debris Of the mills were used
to fill up these inequalities. more for
the purpose OF getting rid of the an
noying accumulations, than from any
well-defned knowledge Of the value of
such material, or its possible use as a
future soil.
From year to year the work went on.
The swamps and bayous were filled up,
and soil was spread on top Of the saw
dust of variable thicknesses, from six
teen inches to two feet. Strange as it
may seem, there was no settling of the
ground, and heavy buildings were
erected upon the soil thus made. These
buildings are the best in the city, and
show no cracked walls.
0C"CiS aIc Jug tuIOuSu Wudt was
formerly bed of saw-dust. and while
traces of the material can yet be found,
still there is clear evidence of the
Transformation process going on, be-
held in each shovel Of matter thrown
out. It'would be difficult to fully and
clearly explain this process. 1t looks
as though the exudations rising up
from beneath the everything debris are
continually acting as distilling ele-
ments, by which the granules Of saw
dust gather to themselves earth incrus-
tations, and finally become homoge-
neous conglomeration Of original soil,
without undergoing the action Of de-
composition.
This hypothesis may not be any
clearer than mud. but it is certain that
one OF the finest and most substantial
cities in Michigan rests secure to-day
on bed of saw-dust which latter has
resolved itself back into its original
elements within a quarter of a cent
ury. Can any one account for this?
