Mortgages in Michigan.

A correspondent, writing from Kellogg, Michigan, to the New York Post, thus describes the eondi- tion of the farmers of that State:
 The farmers here are by no means prosperous. There is gen eral complaint, and about three farms out of every four are mort gagged. There Is protection on everything we buy, and free trade in everything we sell. Trusts and combines are continually forming Ill cities, making what we buy higher and what we sell lower. never vet heard a man dispute the following proposition, viz: All industries, farming included, should be equally protected, or protection should be granted to none. The best business of our newspapers is advertising mortgage foreclosures. Farmers never become very rich farming, but moncy-lendcrs do very often become rich by buying or forcclosing mort gages.

Divorce in Five Countries.

If the wife of Turkoman asks his permission to go out and he says "Go," without adding, "Come back again." they are divorced.
 In Siberia if a man is dissatisfied with the most tritling acts of his wife he tears a cap or veil from her face, and that constitutes 2 divorce.
 In Siam the first wife may be divorced, but not sold as the others may be, She may claim the first child. The others belong to her husband,
 Among the Moors if the wife does not become the mother of boy she may be divorced, with the consent of the tribe, and can marry again.
 In the Arctic region man who wants divorce leaves home in anger, and does not return for sev- eral days The wife takes the hint and departs.

Stanley's Adventurous Youth.

Henry NJ. Stanley was born in Wales, near the little town of Dem bigh, and his parents were so poor that when he was about three years old he was sent to the poor-house of St. Asaph to be brought up and edn- catcd. When he was thirteen years old, he was turned loose to take care of himself. Young though he was, he was ambitious and well-informed. When a lad, he taught school in the village of Mold Fintshirc, North Wales. Getting tired of this. he made his way to Liverpool. England. when he was about fourteen years of age, and there he shipped as cabin boy on board q sailing vessel bound tO New Orleans. i'll the promised land to which >o many BriliSh-born youths ever turned their eyes In New Orleans he fell ln with kindly merchant, Mir. Stanley. who adopted him and gave him his namt for our young hcros real name was John Rowlands. and he was not Stanley until he became an American. as you see. Mir. Stanley died before Henry became of age, leaving no will, and the lad was again left to shift for himself. Young Stanley lived in New Orleans until 1861, when he was twenty-one years old, having been born in lS4O. Then the great Civil War broke out. and Stanley went into the Confederate army Noah Brooks.

A good story of old days in Mas sachusetts has recently been pub lished. In one of the churches in the eastern part of the State bass viol was procured to help the choir. One summer Sunday, while the par son was in the middle of the sermon bull got out of his pasture and came swaggering down the road, growing as he came. The minister heard the low below, and looking up towards the singers seats with a grave face he said: ''I would thank the musicians not to tune during service time; it annoys me very much" The choir was surprised, 7, but nothing was said. Pretty soon the bull gave another grumble, and then the parson was mad. He stopped short and looked directly at the bass viol player and said: Il now particularly request MT. L. that he will not tune his instrument while l am prcaohlng." This was more than the fiddler could stand
 Popping up in his seat he snapped out. Ut isn't me, parson; it isn't me. It's that d-d-darned old town bull, "- Arkansas Traveller,

Carnegie and Protection.

The strike at Mir. Carnegic's mills has been settled by compromise to which we invite the attention of workingmen everywhere.
 MT. Carnegie insisted on rcduc- ton in wages, notwithstanding the failure of the Mills bill, of thirty five per cent. That is, men getting one dollar q day were asked to take sixty-livc cents, and those getting two dollars were offered one dollar and thirty cents.
 Strange as it may appear to men who think labOrers should he satisfied l because the tariff is unaltered, Car ncgic's workingmen struck. Serious l trouble was threatened and Pinkcr- ton detectives were put in possession of the works.
 After some days a promise was reached, and peace was declared. Instead of reduction of B per cent, the workingmen agree on a reduction of 25 per cent. That is, men working for Sl day accept 75 cents; men earning S2 get Sl.50. This, too, in spite of the fact that a laborer gets less for making a ton of iron or steel at Carnegie's works than he gets in England. His indus try and application, intelligence and skill are greater, and he turns out more iron per man than in England, and so at the end of the week more is due him, but wages per ton of iron are less in America than in England. Yet, when times are good. when the demand in America for iron is greater than ever, when the tariff is higher than ever, Carnegie cuts down wages p per cent.
 Under the existing tariff the duty on structural iron, such as Mir. Car negic's Homestead mill produces, is S2S per ton. The cost abroad is S26 or S2S; the price in the American market is S44, and we hear of no reduction since the compromise.
 This is an iron age. Iron is re quired on railroads, in ship-build- ing, in house building. Necessary everywhere, it is especially necessary in new country. A tax on structu- ral iron is a tax on every industry. Carnagie compels us to pay S44 for iron which we could buy abroad at S2S, and though he thus eXacts SIG ton from every purchaser he re- duces the wages paid for every ton from $5 to S3.75.
 The Mills bill proposed to reduce this tax BPS ton on structural iron to Sl4 ton. This would, with the cost of freight and commission, fully sustain the present price.
 MT. Carnegie and other manufac- turers declared that if the Mills bill should pass, limiting their cxactions to Sl4 per ton, they would be com peled to reduce wages, and when they could they forced their men to vote against Cleveland, for "Cleve- lands election meant reduction of wages" /"
 The Mills bill perished in the Senate; Mir. Harrison was elected {; structural iron brings S4l ton, but wages per ton are reduced from Sj to S3.75 by compromise.

Petting the Pet Banks.

The outline of the Republican financial policy in the national plat form of 1888 closes with the sentence: We affirm this to be far better for our country than the Democratic policy of loaning the government money without interest to pet banks.
 With this as cue, the Pet Bank" policy was denounced on every stump. Mir Blaine denounced it repeatedly and with great indigna- tiOn. Mir. Harrison could scarcely command his emotions when he told delegations of his Wild Cat Cross Roads friends" and his Buzzard Roost friends" how the Democratic administration was betting the banks at their expense. No explanations were listened to. It was shown by the treasury reports that the amount of government money in the national bank Repositories was far less under the Cleveland administration than it had been under Republican adminis- tratons, but Mir. Harrison was only the more deeply moved qy the dis elimination against his Coon Skin Creek friends when they called on him to tell him they had voted for his grandfather.
 Naturally it would have been sup posed that, with Blaine and Harrison in control of the administration and Blaine's man Windom in charge of the treasury, the first act of the ad- minstraton would be to take every cent of government money from the national banks of deposit. but on consulting the monthly statement just issued for July, we find that during that month Messrs. Harrison, Blaine and Windom petted pet banks to the extent of S49, ,OO0,0 depos- tied in them without cent of inter- est. when, as was very aptly remarked during the last campaign, the toiling farmers of the Coon Skin Creek district, when they borrow money, have to give mortgage and pay from six to eight per cent.
 The only authority Mir, Harrison has for betting these banks is Re- publican law, for acting under which he and his associates roundly de- nounced President Cleveland. The law is repudiated by his platform and by his speeches. He has refused to recognize it's existence, and it must be supposed, therefore, that he is betting the banks this S49, ,000, ,000 worth month in violation of his own and his party's ideas of law, justice and decency. Or else it must be supposed that what he, MT. Blaine, and the rest said last year about pet banks were deliberate falsehoods.
 This latter hypothesis is altogether the more tenable. We are strongly of the opinion that if the Sage who said in his haste that all men are liars would compare the pledges and speeches of Messrs. Blaine, Harri- son X Co. with their record, he would be tempted to say it at his leisure. .- St. Louis Republic.

CHRISTIE.

Cedarwood stood between the hills and the shore; checry place peeping out from its clump of cedars, and commonly known as the Cap tain's house"
 It had been the bachelor quarters of Captain Delaney for dozen years or more: but now it had been refur- nished and set in order, for the 'Captaln" had gone South for q bride.
 All Rockford was really nervous, so eager were they to get a glimpse of the Southron beauty willy enough to have shared Martin Delaney s heart; all but little Christie Burns.
 She heard the gossip with blanched face and compressed lips, and her sweet dreams of Cedarwood vanished into the bitterness of the cruel awak ening.
 Only week before the Captain had invited her over to see the new arrangements and seemed so pleased with her warm approval.
 And now-hc would bring a bride from the outhland to it's cozy apart ments
 o, it was too much, Christie walked on the bright shore; climbed up the hills, high up among the sil- very birches and struggling oaks to try to forget. It could not be; nay, she must remember.
 Somehow she had always felt so sure of Captain Delancy's heart she had read his love many times in the quiet, expressive eyes.
 And only last week at Cedarwood he looked at her in such way that her heart throbbed to the old, old story as it never had before.
 Then. too, he had kissed her hand at parting and called her his dear est friend" "
 ''What did it all mean; why had he called her that? What were the pretty carpets and tilmy curtains at Cedarwood to her fit Christie went no further in her painful questioning, for the rock on which she stood suddenly looscned from its sandy bed and slipped down the hill side.
 She clutchcd at the roots of hem lock, but they cludcd her frantic efforts, and with cry Christie shut her eyes and went down-down- down.
 The waters mighty rough, pears to me; guess I'll pull ashore. And shoreward came the boat of old Lee, the fisherman.
 His long, unkcpt locks blowing in the breeze, his ragged Jacket and general dilapidated appearance were enough to excite pity, but for all that he would laugh the idea to scorn.
 He and 'the old oman" were con- tented they had huff to eat and wear; and what more was wantin' ~
 He gathered up his basket with its two pickercl and trudged along over the wet sand, his hair flying in the wind and dreamy expressions Hitting across his wrinkled yisage.
 "Lor', what's this? Whyl great guns, it's the little brown-cyed dar- ter of Widder Burns, as I'm alive 7.
 He stopped over the prone form and. seeing no sing of animation, h' shouted to boy some distance uI the shore.

which regular services are held. Ton
verts made here have been mostly wo
men and some of them have been ex-
ported to Utah. In the counties of
Ritchie, Calhoun, Grant and Pendleton
missionaries, as they call themselves,
are working in the boldest manner.
They have nade an astonishing number
of converts and scores Of families have
been broken up. Cases are numerous
where entire families have renounced
their forner faith and united with the
Mormon chhrch. More numer&us are
the cases where family ties have been
broken, wives deserted husbands
and husbands wires 10 cast their

girls have been induced to
leave their homes and go to Utah. You
needn't be surprised" said gentleman
who travels extensively through the
state ''to hear Of trouble In aome Of the
counties on account of it. The feeling
among the anti Mormon citizens is yetT
bitter against the missionaries. ard they are
discussing the matter Of organized move
ment TO drive them from the state. The
Mormon elders vehemently deny they are
in any way connected with the polyga-
nous branch of the Mormon church, even
denounce poligamy publicly, and assert
that the church in Utah has been thor.

those denals they are able to deceive

used the United States mails to defraud
the public, was arrested at Dixon, Wyo /;
last evening, by Postofice Inspector
Fleming. Gardner made Chicago his
heaquarters for his schemes TO rob. He
sent out pamphlets through the mails
throughout the west in which he plr-
ported 10 publish the Golden Age, Ladies'
Illustrated Journal and other publca-
tions To each subscriber he offered a
ticket in grand drawing Of watches,
pianos, sewing machines and other arti,
cles. Every ticket was guaranteed to
win prize. Gardner made $50, 600 by
the scheme before the postal authorities
discovered that he was not publishing
any paper and that the whole business
was fraudulent. BE evaded arrest and
fled to Wyoming, taking refuge at Il
ranch near Dixon. His hiding place was
discovered by watching the mail for hirn
sent by friends. Inspector Flemming and
United States deputy marshal started
east with Gardner last evening.
