that their recent appearance Is due to the

Prof Camille Flammarion, the great French
astronomer, in cable dispatch to Prof Holden
Oct z. 1890, said that under his observation the
number of canals on Mars have doubled since

at right angles from the others. and almost in
straight and systematic lines, be thinks they

A very curious suit has been com
menced IN the Wayne circuit court l,y
which the complainants, Parke. DAVIS
& Co., seek to enjoin the Anti Algia
company, OF Houghton, from proceed :
ings against them on contract which
they a'lege was entered into by mistake.
The Anti-Algia company is composed
OF the Sheldon brothers and Adolph
Ruhl. The business OF the company is
to sell patent medicine known rs
Anti-Algia. Last summer Ruhl Sc !.
cured contract with Parke, Davis s.
CO., by which the latter were to furnish
the Anti-Algia company 5000 boxes of
the medicine ut the rate Of 30 cents per
dozen. After the contract had been
signed Ruhl informed the clerk who
made the estimate that the rate pro.
posed was less than the cost OF the
material nsed IN making the capsules.
On looking over his figures again the
clerk discovered he had made q mis-
take and demanded the contract, which
Ruhl refused to give up. Parke, Davis
g. Co. refuse to comply with the con-
tract, and bring this suit to get it an
nulled. Ruhl was evidently tov hasty
with his information.

the ablest political economist in America
at that time, thinker far in advance OF
his age. was almost alone in insisting
upon taxation. The popular feeling
was expressed By delegate in cosgress

why lie should vote to tax the people,
when Philadelphia printing press
could turn out money by the bushel.
But indeed congress Ind no power to
lay any tax save through requisitions
upon the state governments. There
seemed TO be no alternative but to go
on issuing this money, which many peo-
pie glorified as the safest possible
currency" because nobody could take
it out Of the country" As Webster
truly said, the country had suffered
more from this cause than f,o,n the
arms OF the enemy. At the end Of the
year ITS the paper dollar was worth
IL cents in the northern states and IL
cents in the south. Early in 1880 it's
value had fallen to two cents. and be-

old-Time LEGISLATION.

The following is copy of bill
which passed both houses Of the Mich.
igan Legislature in 1859, was given
immediate effect, but for some reason
failed to meet the approval of the
Governor. 1t shows the prodigality OF
the Legislature in the disposition OF the
public lands at that time, and the
manifest purpose of Offering induce
ments for making Michigan pouplous
state at an early date:
"A bill donating $40 acres OF land to
to Mrs. Rogers, wife of Henry D. Rog-
ers.
Whereas, it has been made known to
the legislature of the state of Michigan,
now assembled, that Mrs. Henry D..
Rogers of Tittabawasses. Saginaw Co.,
in said state, gave birth on the lst day
Of January, A. d. 1859, to four living,
healthy, children. in view OF which ex-
traordinary circumstance, and believ-
ing It is the duty of the state to extend
its fostering care to family 80 extra
ordinary in its origin that the history
OF the world furnishes but few exam
pies, therefore.
The people of the state Of Michigan
enact that the commissioner OF the state
land Office, when he shall secure
satisfactory evidence OF the fact stated
in the preamble, be and is hereby dir
ected to issue a certificate Of purchase
to Mrs. Rogers, wife Of the said
Henry ID. Rogers, her heirs and assigns,
for GAO acres of state swamp lands,
subject to drainage, according to the
provisions Of the act Of congress con-
conveying said lands to the state, to he

lands, such selections or designation to

passage OF this act and filed with said
commissioner.
That said land, when 20 selected,

issued. shall be exempt from sssess-
ment or taxation, during the minority
Of said children. And the governor Of
the state may at any time thereafter
issue patent as though said land had
been paid for. M

The achievements of this famous paper
in the past have been great, but il its
promises for the future are to be full
filled-and there certainly is no reason
to expect the contrary-The Detroit
Free Press will in 1892 be, as Its pub
fishers confidently claim, the most
entertaining and instructive paper
published, giving additional pleasures
to its thousands of old subscribers and
fresh enjoyment to the many thousand
new ones that it's merits deserve. It's
list of contributors for 1892 includes
many Of the most famous names in
American literary and public life, and
most of the articles to be published
are Of unusual Importance and interest,
presenting splendid array Of valuable
features In addition to the inimitable
work done by its own staff Of bright
and famous writer's.
The weekly Detroit Free Press Is not
only tue brightest humorous and liter
ary paper published, but it gives also
