Now that everybody is looking about
them to see what Magazine they will,
take for the coming year, we would
advise them to inquire into the merits
Of Demoresfs Family Magazine. We
have just received the January number
of this wonderful publication, and can
not speak too highly in its prai.e.
1t is certainly what its name IMPLIES,
A Family Magazine; for in it will be
found something to amuse or instruct
every member OF the family. The first
article, telling how Uncle Sans Paper
Money is made, is beautifully illustrat
ed, and furnishes the most interesting
information upon the sui ject that we
have ever seen. There are numerous
other articles and stories, also a fine
Fashion Department; and all beautifully
embellished with over two hundred fine
Illustrations, the browning one OF which
is AT Persian Florists" a hand,
some oil picture, well worthy of a
frame. The mystery is how such a
publication can be furnished for only
$500 per year. 1t is done, however.

NutneCs.

The nutmeg is the innermost kernel
of the fruit of small tree that grows
about thirty feet high. 1t is native of
the East Indies, but it is cultivated in
other tropical lands. 1t has a small,
yellow flower. The fruit is small and
peach like, but with a smooth surface,
and turns yellow when ripe. The ex-
terror, thick, fleshy husk, dries up
and cracks, disclosing the nut. The
outer covering of this nut is what we
know as mace. 1t is red at first, but
turns to a light brown when dried. Next
comes hard shining shell, and inside
that is the nutmeg. The tree bears
about the eighth or ninth year from the
seed. The mace is taken off and dried
in the sun for one dayand for eight days
in the shade, then dampened with sea
water and pressed in bags. The re-
mainder of the nut is very thoroughly
dried, when the shell is broken and
the nutmegs are assorted, the best
ones being exported. They are first
picked in lime water, then left to
sweat and finally packed for shipment.
The Penang nutmegs, the best, are
about an inch long, pale brown, cor
rugated ON the surface, with red
streaks in the gray interior.-Good

saw it no more until the winter OF
1850. The change which has passed
upon the city during these thirty-nine
years may, without exaggeration, be
called enormous. At the eaSlier epoch
the reaction which followed the abor-
tive efforts of 1S4S--9 for national de-
liverance, was celebrating not only
its triumph but its saturnalia. Per-
sonal liberty was deprived of every
guarantee, and the trial of Pria and
his associates, who had assisted the
king eighteen months before in estab-
fishing, as he solemnly swore, by his
own free will and deliberate convic-
ton, free constitution, was, proceed
ing under. a government of perjury
and violence, TO its predetermined
issues in the judicial condemnation OF
the patriot culprits.
But at the later period there lay
upon the surface every sign not only
of change, but Of Transformation.
There was free press. free speech,
free worship and freedom OF person,
with every sign of q vigorous muni-
cipal life. replacing the stagnant uni
formity of 'despotism, both local and
central. The notes, indeed, of ma
terial progress surpassed everything
which could have been expected. The
basking, lettering, lolling, loa6ng
population, so peculiarly Neapolitan,
seemed to haYe become extinct The
filth, which formerly made the city
offensive to eye and nostril, had
disappeared in great measure. In all
the frequented parts of the city the
population was well clad.

ct This Is the only defeat Mr.. Ball has
known in over quater of a century of pub
lie life, and he was elected the next term.
In every legislature of which he has been
a member, Senator Ball has been active on
all important questions, and his influence
has been plainly visible among his fellow
members. Eminently conscientious, he de-
llberates calmly and carefully, and having
decided his course he is not amendabe to
party whips or Establishments of selfish
tricksters. lie is unmoyed save by the in
iluence of superior reasoning and Judgement;
And IL is this quality more than any other,
perhaps, which has given to Senator Ball
the high measure of confidence and esteem
which he enjoys among his fellow Legislators
and the prominent members of his party in
the state, and which has peculiarly fitted
him for those duties to which he has been
SO often called, as the presiding officer OF
important deliberative bodies.
| The death of Lieut.. Gov. Macdonald called
him, without warning, to the perform
ance of an extremely delicate duty. How
modestly and how well he performed it is
evinced by the following resolution unani-
mously adopted by his brother senators on
Friday last:
| Resolved, That it is with the greatest
| pleasure that the senate has am opportunity
to express its recognition of the ability, ur-
banity, ippartiality and dignity with which
President pro tenn and acting Lieutenant
Governor Ball has presided over the DELHI
erations Of this body. His gentlemanly and
friendly bearing toward the senators has
endeared him to each of them, and it is with
the sincerest regret that they are compelled
to sever their present relationship with him;
but such regret is mitigated by the assur-
ance that greater political honors await him
in the future.
A farmer pure and simple, Senator Ball
has always been intensely interested in all
branches of agriculture, and has been one
of the chief promoters as well as presiding
officer of several of the most important state
societies of stock breeders. He has also
been for more than decade, an earnest and
influential worker in the State agricultural
and Central Michigan fair associations. AT
the time of his election to the senate he was
also president of the board of control of the
state reform school. Like our honored gov
ernor, Senator Ball is an exponent. of the
fact that agriculture has among its followers
men whose craftsmanship is as profound,
and whose honor is as incoTuptible as that
of any man in any profession on EARTH
The name of Senator Ball has already
been mentioned by prominent members OF
his party as a successor to Gov. Luce. Such
nominations at this early day must be re.
garded as premature, and in measure i'll
advised; but at that time, if that gentleman
should chance to be the choice of his party
for that high station, they would have as
little cause to blush for Farmer Ball as they
had for Farmer Luce. Lansing Republi-
can.

A Peculiar Duel.

A very peculiar preliminary to q
death sentence that deserves to be put
on record was that in vogue in Fran
coma in the Fifteenth century-that
is, in the days of the ordeal, in which
heaven itself was supposed to take q
hand in the distribution of justice.
In case a woman had been made to
suffer in reputation by a man she was
at liberty to challenge him to combat,
which took place in the following
way:
A regular ring was formed for spec
tators and chairs were placed for the
judges. In the middle of the ring was
a hole about three feet deep, in which
the man, armed only with a club, had
to defend himself against the woman,
who was armed with a stone weighing
a pound tied up in a handkerchief and
attached to slender willowy stick.
The lady had space measuring ten
feet in diameter in which to evolute
and to attack.
The rules were as follows:
If the man in attempting to strike
the woman touched the ground with
arm or hand he made one error. If he
made three such, or if the woman
succeeded in disarming him, he was de-
clared defeated, and was then delivered
over to the executioner to be put to
death, which was by being buried in
the same hole. in which he had vainly
attempted to defend himself. But if tho
man succeeded in thwarting tho at
tacks of the woman or in disarming
her, he was declared the victor, and
the woman herself was then the vic
tim, and was sentenced to death and
buried alive. New York World.

AN UNJUST CRITICISM.

President pro tenn Ball did not do brilliant
work In the senate. He is not firm nor
courageous enough for the position. He
sometimes lodged voting on important
measures.-DetrOit Tribune.
In penning the above the legislative cor
respondent of the Tribune doubtless pre-
scented his personal opinion only, for he GER
tainly failed to reflect that of the citizens of
Lansing and vicinity or of the legislative
body over which Senator Ball has had the
honor to preside for the past six months.
For neary "a years the people of Lansing
and of this district have known Senator
Ball, and have had ample opportunity to
Judge of his character and capacity as cit
izen, a legislator, and a presiding officer.
In 1864 he was elected to the legislature
from his county by the soldier vote, and
served his constituents so well that he was
honored with a reelection in 1866. He was
the first county superintendent of schools of
Livingston county elected under the law
providing for such an officer, and was the
incumbant of that office when the law was
repealed. In 1850 he was again elected TO
the house of representatives, and was put
forward as candidate for the speakership.
He was defeated by Hon. Seth G Moffat,
but was made chairman of the committee of
ways and means and speaker pro tenn, by
virtue of which he presided as speaker
for about three months of that session, Mr..
Moffat being absent from illness, and was
particularly noted for the fairness, courtesy
and good sense which he exhibited as pre-

HOW TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is the terror ofyoung mothers, es-
pecially during the early winter months
as it is then most prevalent. To post them
concerning the cause, first. symptoms,
treatment and how to prevent it, is the
object of this article.
The origin of Group is a common cold
Children that are subject to it take cold
very easily and Group is almost sure to
follow. The first symptoms of Group is
hoarseness, it is peculiar hoarseness,
easily recognized and once heard always
remembered. Usually day or two before
the attack the child becomes hoarse and
gradually shows symptoms of havingtak
en- cold, and this is where the mistake is
usually made, the mother thinking hel
child has just taken cold gives it no espec.
ial attention until awakened in the night
by the violent coughing OF the child, finds
it has the Group and remembers it has
had cold or been hoarse for day OF
two. Such circumstances often occur
and in many cases the mother has moth
ing in the house that will relieve it, and
may be several miles from q physician OF
drug store. You can well imagine the
situation and her distress. Tho time to
act is when the child first becomes hoarse
or shows symptoms of having taken cold
if Chamberlain,s Cough Remedy is freely
given from that time on, all tendency to
Group will disappear and all danger be
avoided. The remedy prevents fully 49,
900 cases OF Group every year. 1t is the
main reliance with many mothers through
out the western states and territories
thew have learned its value and how to
use it, and in those families Group is sell
dom known because it is always pre-.
