ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
After the Storm.


Why, here's clear sky, the last cloud
Melting in high blue space Of air
Soft little West-winds freshly blow;
Far of, the thunder mutters lowi
The birds for gladness sing aloud,
To greet sunset fair.
The fields, this morn, all sere with drought,
Look green already, and the streams.
Brimful and laughing, haste away;
Our world, all sick with feverish day,
In promised sweetness budding out.
With odorous moisture steams.
Our roses lift their heads again,
All diademed with raindrops bright
The pansies brighter tints unfold
Bright the syringa's hearts Of gold,
Washed free from dusty speck and stain,
Flash bravely in the light.
But here - oh, pitifulest sight =.
On the wet pathway, drenched and torn,
With little broken wing outspread,
A bird by storm-wind bufeted
And done TO death-beat down in flight,
All quivering and outworn.
Cold, dead, -quite dead. And what's TO him
This purer air and clearer heaven,
This peaceful end Of thunderous storms.
Can these bring back his little life,
Or wake his song at even
So you, my friend, your anger Ger
That, storm-like, all our sky bespread-
Come back with smiles. and smiles are sweet.
Sweet: these fresh airs of peace: wen meet
Kind words with kind, but loves no more;
Loves like the Birthstone dead.

University Extension.

The scheme for widening the influence
Of the University of Pennsylvania by
establishing many branches in cities
and towns of the eastern part of the
state needs more detailed explanation
than the trustees have so far made
public, but seems to be an effort in the
direction of instruction by popular
lectures such as are given in Paris. If
that is the idea it should first be de-
veloped in Philadelphia and then
gradually extended. 1t seems To
be feared that the scheme will
provoke the hostility of smaller
institutions of learning, but if properly
managed there is no reason why il
should. In Lancaster, for example, the
university could probably enlist the aid
OF Franklin and Marshall professors, al.
ways enthusiastic and aggressive
In the cause of learning. Accord.
ing to the scheme as outlined
professors and lecturers of the university
are to be sent out to establish courses
but where there is good local material il
should only be Necessary for the uni.
Nersity TO furnish the financial backino
aud undertake the general superylsicr
and direction of the work. Whetbe,
the lectures will draw may be doubted
but only practical aud extensive tria
can settle the question, and the decision
OF the university trustees will he awaite,
with interest.

That Cider Vinegar.

1t Is very well to hold public officers
to strict observance of the law in the
discharge.oftheird duty; and when Prison
Inspector Nissley sold two barrels Of
cider vinegar to the prison he was
bound to do 1t according to law, not
withstanding he was doing the keeper u
favor at his request.
We are glad to hear that Mr.. Nissley
took the precaution to have his cider
vinegar sale approved by the board of
inspectors, as the law requires; and to
know that the prosecution brought
against him has no foundation in fact.
1t does not take much evidence to show
that there was plenty of spite in a
prosecution for selling two barrels of
cider vinegar to the prison, even
though the approval of the board
Of inspectors to the transaction
had not been obtained. We are
truly sorry that our Republican
friends are so filled with bitterness
towards each other as this incident
shows them to be. They are getting
very ripe for grand smash-up.

Prize Fighting.

Governor Lowry, of Mississippi, evil
IDENTIFY feels bound to make the prize
fighters who defied his authority thor
ourhly sick of their foolishness. Not
only sullivan and Kilrain are to be
punishcd, but also those who aided and
atetted the prize fight at Richburg, ana
the issuing Of warrants for six sporting
men and the arrest of four of them quite
astonishes the culprits. They can not
see why the spectators of a prize fight
should be punished, but in the light OF
the notorious fact that the fight was In
defiance Of law and Of governors proc
lamation, and that these men were not
only spectators but managers and active
encouragers of 1t, there should I've no
trouble in making them suffer along
with their tools, the real fighters. III
will be a very wholesome lesson to men
of their stamp and may help along
the growth of strong sentiment
against prize-flghting. II the whole
crowd at the prize fight could have been
arrested and jailed for long term, 1t
would have been a good thing, for all
accounts agreed that more ugly crowd
would be hard to gather, and thieves,
gamblers and desperate characters OF
many varieties far outnumbered the
honest men. Boxing may be fine exer-
else and manly sport, but prize fighting
can not be freed from brutality. Ath'
letic clubs and gymnasiums may encour
age sparring with other exercises, bu
whether their matches degenerate int
brutal prize fights will depend upon thu
Character of the club. An ordinance bai
lust been introduced to the New Orleans
city council authorizing sparrint
matches under the control of chartered
gymnasium clubs. 1t seems better t.
discourage the set matches altogether
and to keep sparring strictly within th'
bounds of good humored exercise In al
art trying alike to the temper and skill
There Is plenty Of harmless sparrinl
going on all the time, which stimulate

professional bruisers who abuse goo'

The Street Car Ordinance.

The councils have passed the electric
railway ordinance without amendment (;
and with but one dissenting voice in
common council, with, however, but
seventeen of the twenty-seven members
present. We consider that the Ordi-
nance was not well framed, and does not
properly conserve the interests of the
city, though we have not objected to the
experiment of electric street ear propul-
sion.
II councils had granted the privilege
with such reservations rs would have
kept the control of the matter in the
hands of the city, we should have been
content. But this grant has not been
made with proper reservations and
will be likely hereafter to give the city
much trouble. The ordinance does no
credit to its trainers.

Governor Lowry, Of Mississippi, has not

Byrnes. All were taken into custody on
the old acquisitions sent TO Governor Hill.
1t was only Wednesday morning that
Governor I'M telegraphed to inspector
Byrnes TO take the men into custody. The
three detectives were at once started out.

In the meantime Cleary had been arrested
on the street, at the corner of Fiffh avenue
and Twenty seventh street. lie made no
resistance, but manifested great surprise
like the others. The requisitions had been
| in the hands of Governor Hill so long
without any action being taken on them
| that they considered the matter as settled.
Late In the afternoon the detectives took
| their prisoners before Justice Hogan at the
Jefferson Market police court. After
several minor cases had been disposed OF
they were called up before the Judge. Ex-
| Judge Peter Mitchell appeared for them.
Detective Creed explained to Judge Hogan
| that he did not have the requisition with
him. Lawyer Mitchell said he would not
take advantage of that fact, but asked that
| a day be set for examination.
| Al his suggestion Judge Hogan set the
| examination down for q week from next
| Saturday. The defendants were held In
| $500 each. Chris Clarke, manager of the
Police Gasette, furnished bail for Harding
and Donovan. Billy Bennett went bail fol

Lawyer Mitchell said later that he had
already telegraphed Governor Hill in re
gard TO hearing and expected to hea
from him in the morning. He expecte,
