DETROITS LITTLE SENSATION.
tory Curious to tie Last Degree
Mrs. GOring.

Detroit mas her little sensation, which re-
minds the reader of that peculiar case in
New York few years ago, when the death
of FIVE millionaire was the signal for the
appearance of five widows" all claiming
the legal share of his estate and all with sub
stantial proofs Of their claims
Moses w. Field is the ''Singer" of Detroit,
but the general public knows more of him as
a politician than as a millionaire Once,
however, he was worth 1,OOO, 600 or more;
but the widows" got the larger part of it
while he was alive, and unless his family can
get some recent conveyanceS set aside, it is
doubtful if the estate will inventory 100000
The bringing Of a suit by the legal wife of
the deceased against a certain Mrs. Goring
ana her allies, TO stop the payment of checks
and notes and annul certain deeds, tho total
involved being over 100000, has brought
the whole case to light
Moses w. Field has been living a double
life
His history is to the last degree curious.
He was born in Watertown, n. Y, Feb. 10,
1928, and went west to seek his fortune at the
early age of 16. He began business life as
clerk in large mercantile house, and having
a sharp eye for the main chance, advanced
rapidly in wealth and position. In 1868 he
went into politics, being elected alderman
for two successive terms. In 1872 he was
elected to congress on the Republican ticket,
and distinguished himself as an ardent advo-
cate of protective tariff and more green
backs" He opposed the resumption of specie
payments with zeal that took him out of
the Republican party, and in the next cam
paign he was beaten for congress by Gen.
Alpheus S. Williams. He then took an active
and prominentpartin organizing the National
Greenback party.
He joined in the call for the national con-
vention at indianapolis, in 1876, which nomi-
mated Peter Cooper, and canvassed Michigan

A TouGu PLACE, The Hurley
Tribune don't propose to conceal the
desperate condition of affairs in
that place, and is making a manful
fight to amend matters. Here is
what il says:
"lf Hurley is a tough town these
days, as all citizens agree in calling
it, why is such the case? Has the
town so fallen in moral aud legal
force as to be unable to cope with
this flood of evil and shame? Are
the decent people SO tied by this
patronage from hell' that they dare
not even rebuke the evil spirit of
shame? Have our authorities nc
inclination to turn the tide into
purer channels and have respect for
their oath of office? Are we paying
to our police force and to our repre-
sentatiyes thousands of dollars
while the people are taxed almost
beyond endurance---only to have
brazen-taced creatures of the devil
parading the streets day aud night
unmoested, idle aud insoleut,
houncing their hellish vocation in
the faces of all, aud with bawdy
houses IN connection with a majority
of the saloons? Then we say, and
say it earnestly, that if such state
of affairs Is TO continue, that il
would be wise and prudent for peo-
pie who desire to live in "a respect
able atmosphere aud to have their
families surrounded by right inhu.
ences to go elsewhere To find "A
home, aad let he'll have It's owu.
We say this would be wise If there
was no hope for change from the
present state OF affairs, but it is to
be hoped that the tide has about
reached It's food and the authorities
and If not the authorities the
entire better elements of the people
will see To 1t that there Is a change
for the better In this shameful
matter"

Through the Encouragement of a
Republican administration the State of
Ohio is largely in debt and her treasury
almost empty. The Republican party
is desperate and must devise some
means to raise money. The special
legislative committee appointed to. in
quire into the subject of taxation and
devise ways and means for increasing
the revenue of the State have decided
upon the plan of indirect or special
taxes, and will introduce bill at the
next session of the Legislature embody-
ing their ideas on this subject. This
bill provides that all officers hereafter
elected or appointed to fill any office in
the State, whether township, county,
district or State, or otherwise, who
shall receive a commission from the
Department of the State, shall pay a
tax to the person delivering the COM
mission. This tax is to he graded ac.
cordiDg to the salary received by the
officials. 1t provides that any officer
whose compensation, as fixed by law
amounts to So 900 or more shall pay Il
tax of S25; $1,000 or less than So 900, SIS
81 900 or less than $4,000, $40; $500 tc
81 900, S.; $500 or not more than $500
So. Any officer receiving all amount
less than $500 annual shall pay a tax
not less than 81. ...
This is only one ofa number of bills
tending to increase the revenue in the
manner indicated by the policy of the
committee. 1t is understood tina
among the others will be one to tal
lawyers and doctors.

HUMAN ALMANAC.
Birth-Mark Which Changes With the
MOon-ColOrings Which Denote
It's Phases With Exactness.

CoNNELLSvILLE, Pa, Jan. 3.-Con-
nellsvile has freak who is ofimmense
value to farmers in setting out their
crops and to the superstitious people
who cut their hair and tlnger nails at
certain stages of the moor. The freak
is James I'll. Rothermal, o carpenter,
possessed of a peculiar birthmark at the
base of his brain. 1t is naturally cres-
cent in shape and blush in color. AS
the moon is turning the first quarter
the mark becomes q reddish hue, and
the swelling of the flesh below it, ex-
tending diagonally across the neck to
the right shoulder, is percepible.
The mark becomes redder as the
moon grows older, and the flesh swells
correspondingly. When the moon is
full the crescent is of bright red, and
the flesh assumesa horn like roll over
two inches in thickness at the largest
part, gradually tapering to point on
the shoulder.
AS the birth-mark grows large as the
moon becomes full, so it decreases in
size as the moon wanes, and when the
moon is quite dark there is nothing to
be seen but the BLUSH, crescent-shaped
mark. Mr.. Rothermal suffers no in-
convenience by enlargement of the
neck, nor does he endure much pain
He needs no almanac to tell the change
in the moon, simply placing his hand
on the mark to tell its condition. While
going to school the scholars and teach
er often observed the changes in the
birth-mark, and wondered at the re-
markable regularity with which they
occurred.
