An ATrAcHE Of the Robinson's circus
puts the entire California business in a
nut shell when, he said to the CINCINNATI
Enquirer reporter: California is the
hottest and coolest, richest and poorest,
wettest and dryest state in the union
with more streams and fewer navigable
waters, more laborers and less labor,
more gold and less money, more cows
and less milk and butter, where house
flies live the year around, and Heats never
die and men pay $1,000 an acre for
climate and have the land thrown in"

RANGE ROUND UP.

About half OF the discharged miners OF
Iron Mountain have returned TO England.
Rumored that the Whitney & Stinch-
field Lumber Co., will erect saw mill mt
Saunders spur in the near future.
John Morrison, prominent citizen, I"
formerly OF Iron Mountain, lately releas-
ed from the Ionia "pen, snow resident
OF Chicago
A baby girl came To the home Of Editor
and Mrs. knight, OF Norway ON the 10th
inst. That date was also the anniver-
sary Of Mr.. Knights birth.
Iron Mountain is all broke up, so TO
speak, over the discharge OF the 400 men
from the Chaplin mine. WISER heads say
that the scare is about the most serious
part OF il.
Mrs. $. L. Saxton, az Waucedah, one
OF the oldest residents OF thecountry and
most estimable and lovable woman,
died 81 pneumonia, on the 18th, instant,
aged sixty years.
olfb. H. VI. sduiINbN' NHt w s'tttioii
Agent Sampson, Of Norway, died on the
23d instant OF puerperal fever, aged
twenty-one years. The remains were in
terrsd last Sun lay.
The Whitney & Stinchfield Lumber Co.,
oil Saginaw, win commence at once the
building OF tram road from Saunders
spur to the Pine river, the distance being
about sixteen miles.
Iron Mountain saloon keepers, think
ing they will experience some difficulty in
securing bondsmen, will have their licen-
scs Issued in their wives names, 40 that
really they can become their own bonds
men. Quite a scheme.
Iron Mountain is at last to have the
opera house il deserves, one commensurate
in every particular with the growing city
The Messrs. Rumble Bros, have about
completed their fine large building and
will use the upper part of it for that pur-
pose. The main floor is hfty-six feet
wide by seventy deep and the seating
capacity is about 1000 The stage is
provided with ten complete sets Of seem
cry. Iron Mountain has long felt the
sore need Of just such an institution and
the enterprise manifested 10y Messrs.
Rumble is cominendable.

On MONDAY Senatorpalmeri introduced
his amendment To the land forfeiture bill.
The object ofhis amendment is TO confirm
the titles and cash entry men and home
steaders, where there are no conflicting
claims, and to give the Ontonagon &
Brule River road the lands selected along
the completed portion OF the road Sem
ator Stockbridge does not think Palmes's
amendment covers the case and takes
direct Issue with him upon il. Senator
Stockbridge has an amendment OF
his own and il is quite probable that
the Michigan senator's will oppose each
other on the floor Of the senate in regard
TO this Ontonagon q Brule bill, which
has been bone OF contentionin congress
and in Michigan politics for many years,
and bids fair TO continue for all time TO
come.

class have been invented, and put in
practical operation, and Ia succeeding
years they are likely To become not un
common. IN enterprising Michigan log

implement which goes still further This
is a steam logger, which without track,
but ipon the general principle OF "a steam

CHARLES l.. WRIGHT, state eeplogist of
Michigan, died Thursday forenoon, at his
home ia Marquette. While visiting his
old home ia Auburn, n. y, he caught a
severe cold, which grew worse and com
PEELED him to return 60 Marquette about
two weeks ago. He was seized with pueu-
monia immediately upon his return.
Prof. Wright was well known by every
one ever Interested in the iron industries
Of Lake Superior, his fame as an iron ex-
pert having spread far and wide, and his
word passing as law in mining matters
everywhere. Born in Auburn, n. Y, he
studied at Union college, where his uncle,
Prof. G. ID. Lawton, the present commits
sioner Of mineral statistics for Michigan,
was an instructor and then went into
the mining business. In 1867 or 1868
he was in charge OF an iron furnace in
Kentucky, but resigned his position to
60 20 Germany to further perfect himself
in his profession At the university at
Freiberg he devoted himself To his special
ties, lithology and chemistry, and in
1870. almost immediately after his
return TO the United States, went TO
Marquette as the lithologist OF the state
survey.

Punning, | think, does not receive
enough attention. In spite of DR..
Johnson's well-known dictum, we
should not despise punning. Sydney
Smith says it is the foundation of all
wit. Supposing three degrees of evo-
luton, submit that punning is the
least evolved system of joking, that
wit is evolved out of punning, and
that humor is evolved out of wit.
Every body has heard of Sydney
Smiths remark-that it requires
surgical operation to get joke into
the head of Scotchman. But he
spoke without distinguishing. The
Scotch have great appreciation of
those highly-evolyed jocosties dis
playing the humorous, although, no
doubt, scorn of simple, lowly-
evolved jocostes, such as plays on
words. 1t is difficult to form a con-
ception of Scotch punster. Yet 1
have heard an Aberdonian, a physi-
clan of worldwide reputation, make a
pun.
Punning is well worthy of the psy-
biologists attention. | seriously mean
that the analysis of puns is a simple
way of beginning the methodical anal
ysiS of the process of normal and abb
normal mentation. This. | think, l
can easily show. Vision is stereo-
scopic; in sense il is slightly Dip
lopic, for there are two dissimiar
images, although there seems to be
but one external object, as we call it.
To borrow the ophthalmologoca term,
we can say that mentation is .'stereo-
scopic;" always subject-object, al
though we often speak of it as single
estates of consciousness, etc.) just
as there is visual diplopia, so there is
"mental diplopia,' or, as it is COM
monty called "double consciousness.
Now [ come back to punning. We

pends on pun-''W Ken is a little girl
not little grip" Answer: when
she is a little horse (hoarse)." The
feeble amusement we have in the
slightly morbid mental state thus in
duced is from the incongruous Gle
ments of a mental diplopia." The
word 'hoarse" rouses in us the idea
of little girl who has taken cold, and
the same-sounding word "horse'
rouses in US the idea of well-known
quadruped at the same time. We

The Long, Long Ago.
The short winter day is drawing swift II

The short winter day is drawing swift to
close
With the sigh of a storm in the air,
And the oak tree makes moan as it feels the
chill breath
On ITS limbs lying naked and bare.
Poor old treei from my window L hear Its
complaint
See its limbs as they toss to and fro,
While memory goes back TO the days always
The days Of the long, long ago.
Like the ghosts of dead storms in their silent
approach,
Now the snow-hakes go skurrying by.
And night the black mourner, comes after
a-pace,
While she spreads her dark pail in the sky.
There's no gleam up above whence the sun
light hath fed,
There's no gift in that pale banging bow,
But the sun always shone in the days that are
In the days of the long, long ago.
Meath the oak tree we fingered that fair sum-
mer time,
TIL the sun had gone down in the west
And the soft evening breeze mid the leavee
overhead
Lulled the birds and the crickets to rest.
Til the stars lit the sky and afar In the east
Hung suspended the moons silver bow,
But the stars and the moonbeams will never
more gleam
With the light of the long, long ago.
Oh. my God! from the desolate winter around
Lift the veil of this shadowy woe!
Bring me back but one moment the light that
is dead,
With my love OF the long, long ago.
