1t was just an ordinary scrap of wrapping
paper, but it saved her life. She was in the
last stages of consumption, told by physicians
that she was incurable and could live only
a short time: she weighed less than seventy
pounds. On piece of wrapping paper she
read of DIR. Kings New Discovery, and got a
sample bottle; it helped her, she bought a
large bottle, it helped her more, bought an
other and grew better fast, continued its use

THE project to build suitable and
fitting monument to the memory of
General Grant, which to the regret of a
large number of the friends of the
great soldier, seemed at one time likely
to fail of accomplishment, owing to IA
lack of funds, is being again revived
and contributions are pouring in very
literally The national credit is prac-
tically pledged to this undertaking,
and, although much dissatisfaction was
manifested on account of the fact that
the Generals remains were not depos-
tied at Washington, the American peo-
pie should divest themselves of the
apathy which has existed toward the
project, and, without further delay,
push the matter to a successful issue.

other matters of much more Importance

Morgan and his democratic colleagues
have taken up the question OF

FRIENDS of the County Option bill
should not allow their interest i'm this
important legislation to weaken, but
on the contrary their most jealous eff
forts should be given to it between this
and the cath of February, the day set
for the holding of the election. The
enemies of temperance in the county
are quietly working to compass the de-
feat of the bill at the polls, and openly
assert that, if carried, it will he done
by so small a majority that the enforce

very difficult. All steps thus far taken
have been in exact accordance with
law, and it only remains for those who
earnestly, honestly and conscientiously
favor temperance, and prefer good or

ness, debauchery and immortality, to
put their shoulders to the wheel, there

CONGRESSMAN BELKNAP, of the fifth

CONGRESSMAN BELKNAP, of the fifth
district, recommends the appointment
by the State of Michigan, of Pension
Commissioner for the State, who shall
be located at Washington, and whose
duty it will be to look after the inter
ests of Michigan pensioners. We think
the suggestion very practical and
sensible one. If carried into effect, our
Congressman would be relieved of all
this work, which now occupies a large
part of their time and attention, and
it is certainly reasonable to expect that
better results would follow

great scramble for these lands, but we

experience of a majority of those who
left their Michigan homes, expecting to
better their condition in the far west,
has been anything but satisfactory.

Bx mrs. N. .. MoRANeR,

This seems no city Of the dead,
No gloomy, weird, and haunted place;
The birds sing gaily overhead
The squirrel moves with sudden graces
The fountains play, the flowers bloom,
The yielding swRrd lie fresh and smooth
Art wells the secret of the tomb;
And all seems planned to cheer and sooth'
But from this calm height giancing down,
We spy the outlines shadoWy
OF lies quick haunts: the fevered town,
The living city, and the sea.
IhaTe the wild chase goes ever on,
With scarce q restful hour to spare
TIL each brief LEE Is spent and gone;
Few pause to think of Greenwood there.
Beneath that oyerhanging veil,
That dins with mist each busy street,
How many aspirations fail,
How many weary spirits meet
To them these tranquil paths and bowers
Would scarce suggest the mournfu1 tear;
How they must long, in secret hours,
For such repOse as waits them here
And they viii come. the busiest there,
Tired of the battle, ripe for peace
Bowed by an avalanche OF care,
And signing for their last release;
VIII come, o patient Greenwood, come
To seek thy quietude and rest;
As children come at evening home
TO rest upon the mothers breast.

Twenty Dunlxaras with an Il.

Last year party of twenty-five
Dunkards was en- route to the General
Conference, via st. Louis. No agent
accompanied them, and telegram was
sent to Union Depot Passenger Agent
Bonner to meet twenty Dunkards. z
The religious education of the tele-
graph operator who received the mes
sage had been neglected. He had
never heard of the Dunkards, and, sup
posing mistake had been made, he
just inserted the letter ar," and when
Bonner received the message it read
Meet No. A. Twenty drunkardsaboard.
Look after them
Bonner was somewhat taken aback.
He did not know but that an enebriate
asylum had broken loose, but any way
prompt action was necessary The
twenty drunkards must be desperate
men or the dispatch would not have
been sent, and murder might have been
committed on the road.
Bonner posted off to police head
quarters, and his story did not lose in
the telling. The Chief Of Police, alive
to the exigencies of the situation, made
special de:ail of ten policemen and a
patrol wagon.
The policemen we're drawn up in a
line at the depot, and intense excite
ment prevailed among the numerous
depot loungers. rumor having gained
currency that a desperate band of train
robbers was on the incoming train.
In due time the train arrived, but no
party or registering drunkards alighted.
The party on the train was composed of
several pious-looking gentlemen with
broad brimmed hats, who stood around
as though expecting some one.
Bonner approached one of them and
said interrogatiyely:
Had any trouble on the road? ?"
NO bother" said the gentleman,
"none that ! know of And now Til
ask you question: Do you know a
gentleman named Bonner?"
Yes, I am Mr.. Bonner" was the
answer

put us On the right ttrttir. Didni t you
get a telegram"
Bonner was completely done for. He
excused himself, and, calling the SER
geant of police aside, he told him that
it was all mistake and he and his men
could go back to headquarters. Then
he disposed of his religious friends,
