"Mlss May Cook played Beethoven's
sonata in Flat, Op. 26" in superb
style, giving the different movements
in "A most artistic manner Her skilful
lingering and precision of touch i'm the
"andonte con yariazioni' movement.
was such rs is rarely seen, while the
accuracy and exactness of her technique
In the other movements excited the adj
miratiOn of her audience. For her
second number Miss Cook gave n se
lection from ''Rigoletto," and rendered
the intricate music of the great com
poser in SO brilliant manner as TO lead
To an impetuous recall. 1t was thought
ut first that she was sounding few pre-.
liminary bars on the instrument with
her left hand. To the surprise and de-
light, with all of the audience, the mel
ody of Home, Sweet Home" adorned
with brilliant variations, held them
spellbound until it seemed as if il were
Impossible that such strains could be
evoked from an instrument under such
circumstances. 1t has been said that
the piano is an orchestra i'm itself Ger
talnly, orchestral effects were the re-
suit OF Miss Cooks playing last night
III was noticeable triumph of instru-
mentation, and those who were fortu-
nate enough to be privileged TO hear il
will not soon forget it," We take the
above flattering notice from the Sunday
OregOntdn, published al. Portland of
the 10th ult. Miss Cook has many
friends in this village, all of whom. we
are sure, will be glad to learn of her
successful musical achievements.
The Democratic rally of last Wednes-
day was, indeed an immense" affair.
The distinguished speakers announced
To be in attendance and address their
fellow citizens on the crying needs of
the hour, the intentions of the Demo
cracy in its administration of affairs
during the next two years, the reasons
why the party should jollify and be ex.
ceeding glad etc, etc, were all present
except Hon. Don. Dickinson, of Detroit
Hon. Nj. Ii. Ford, of Grand | lpids
Hon. Frank Hurd, of Ohio, Hon Dan.

Hon. Geo. l.. Yaple did put i'm an ap-
pearance just as the shades of night
were falling fast" evidently taking great
delight in the assurances so freely ten
dered by his distinguished fellow states
man that he should be PERMITTED to
occupy the seat and draw the salary
rightfully belonging to Mr. Burrows
during the life of the LII congress.
The great event of the "rally" was the
parade in the evening headed by sew
eral enthusiastic, but deluded adher-
ents of the Stuffed Prophets" party
The music was entrancing, in fact, in
toxicating, judging from the uncertain
gait of several who took part in the
rally" Our advice, and no extra
charge is made for it, as it is thrown i'm

ed in the NORTHERNER which YOU get
at one-tfty per year, our advice to you
is, gentlemen, should you erer have an
other opportunity to rally" (Which is
not probable) do so promptly: don't
wait till the Deputy-Oil- il-InspectorShips,
Janitorships and other crumbs -of-com-
fort have been determined upon and
given to less-worthy, but just -as- hungry
applicants in other counties
l.. Ii. Bailey, of South Haven, says
in the last Paw Paw Courier: Il have
read the Bible through the history of
all nations and | cannot find one word
in the English language of grandeur
of the last election. Perhaps my worthy
friend, Eaton, can help me out. He
said while in South Haven, that would
not live long enough To see Michigan
y
ident for twenty-five years. Michigan
has gone-two years more and then it
will be like reading the proclamation of
Cyrus King of Persia. We are cap
tives now but not then. / will make
this a standing bet with friend Eaton:
If the democrats win the next presi-
dental election he shall 90 to Wash
ington and take me with him and bear
all expenses, and if the republicans win
will take him to Washington and do
the same thing by him at the Inaugural
ton. More if needed" While the
above is somewhat vague in many re-
spccts we assume that we know what
brother Bailey means and cannot, un-
der the circumstances, find il possible
to chide him for his hilarity as it is not
even remotely probable that Michigan
will go SO far astray again and exuber-
ance of spirits may be INDUCED by such
as he with no danger of curtailment on
the part of Republicans. We hope that
brother Bailey will be spared yet many
years, for genial and pleasant com
panion is he, but To ask that he be per-
mitted to wander up and down the
earth till another Democrat is elected
President would be equivalent to asking
the Almighty TO give him a lease of life
beyond that which Methusaleh has now
the proud distinction of alone having
reached. Regarding the trip to Wash
ington to witness the Inauguration of
Blaine in 93, its go. Shake.
