a Hartford, Van Buren county,
Michigan, man, who went West
some years ago, got into trouble and
the California penitentiary at the
same time, and to save his family the
disgrace caused somebody to write
to Michigan that he had been shot
and scalpcd by Indians. This would
have made it all right if he had
stayed dead, but q few days ago,
while his widow was getting her
trousseau ready to marry decent
man, the villain spoiled everything by
getting out of prison and writing
home to ask for his family.

Will We Have SickIy Summer

There is at present a feeling Of
uncasincss that the present mild win
ter will oe followed by sickly sum
mcy that ga green Christmas makes
a full graveyard" This may or may
not be true; we have no statistics at
hand to confirm or rcfutc the state
mcnt or belief. But we must dissent
from the popular explanation of the
fact, if it be a fact, that it is because
cold kills the germs of disease. We
know very little about the germs of
disease, it is true. We infer the
popular belief is that they are akin
to bacteria-vcry simple, minute
forms of life that multiply with as
tonishing rapidity under favoring
conditions, and which, the medical
world is fast drifting into the belief,
cause many forms of disease. This
we arc not prepared either to affirm
or deny; but, admitting its truth,
we may state that these lower forms
OF life, in some stage of their exist
cncc at least, are extremely tolerant
OF extremes Of temperature, and
many of the diseases attributed to
them abound in cold as well as warm
climates. The explanation probably
is, if the statement is true that n
warm winter makes sickly summer,
that our systems need the bracipp
up OF cold to make them strong and
vigorous and able to resist disease.
Among plants and animals it is the
weak that most easily succumb to
attacks of disease or of insect and
fungus cnemics.--IUonta Constitu-
ton.

TIE CONSTITUTIONAL MuDDLE.-
New York, like South Carolina. is
without constitutional representa-.
ton, owing to the failure of an emu.
mcration, as directed by tho State
Constitution.
The New York Times says, touch.
ing the natter
"But it is doubtful whether an an.
portlonmcnt of representation in the
Legislature can be based upon the
Federal enumeration. The Consti.
tuition requires the Senate and rs.
sembly districts to be altered aft g,
each State enumeration so ms to con.
tain as nearly as may be an equal
number of inhabitants, and to src.
main unaltcrcd until the return OF
another cnumcration.' In regard to
Assembly districts, the language is
until another enumeration shall be
made as herein provided Consc.
quently an enumeration by State
authority for the purpose of rcappor-
tlonmcnt ought to be made without
delay"
1t would be an instructive com.

that we are compelled, after all, to
make the enumeration required by

The rapidity with which the Rus
sian nalady "la grippe" has made it's
way from the place of its origin
across the continents and across the

farther away from us in Asiatio

Gfre ne O. several was introduced so en-
graved as to fill up each others vacancies,
and thus several coiors were put into the pat
tern. About ITO copper plate printing was
invented in England. By this method the
design was cut into plates, the color filed
into the sunken parts of the engraving, and
the cloths were printed by being pressed upon
it. This invention finally led to the intro
duction Of cylinder printing. the method now
in use. The cylinders are of copper, and the
design is engraved upon their surface. A
separate cylinder is required for each color
or shade of color to be used in printing the
cloth. and in fine and intricate designs as
many as twenty cylinders are sometimes used.
These are set in strong frame against the
face of a large central drum made of iron
and covered with wooden cloth in several
folds. between which and the cylinders the
calico is printed as it passes. The color is
spread upon the cylinders, as they revolve,
by contact with another roller, which dips
into a trough containing the coloring matter
properly thickened This roller is made of
an absorbent, elastic material similar to the
roller used in mixing printing press. Each
cylinder thus receives its proper color, and
imparts it in revolving to the calico pressed
between its face and that of the fixed drum.
4 sharp blade Of metal pressing against the
copper cylinder removes all superfuous color
from It's surface, 50 that only the design cut
in the metal is imprinted in clear outline upon
the cloth. The employment of number of
rollers to make one design is attended with
much difficulty, as in passing under them the
cloth is in much danger of being displaced
and the regularity Of the print destroyed. as
the cloth leaves the printing machine it is
drawn over rollers through hot air cham
Der, by which it is thoroughly dried and the
c01ors become f,,ll- soft

Beating his breast on the cold window pane,
Poor little bird,
Striving the free, blessed air to regain.
Yet ever deferred;
Something invisible, pitiless, bright,
WallinG him in,
Beyond it lies liberty, sunshine, Light,
This in between.
Tiny, passionate, terrified thing,
Struggling in vain,
Pulsating heart and quivering wing,
Throbbing with PAIN
Far too bewildered TO notice the door
Spread open wide,
Only to turn, and gain freedom once more,
Naught to divide.
So we beat ever 'gainst destiny's pane,
Fear stricken bird,
Yearning for happiness, striving in vain,
Hope e'er deferred.
Doorways to peacefulness, liberty, life,
Woo our advance.
