COL. A. 4. MREYNOLDs. United States
court for treason, and through Colonel
McReynolds' efforts acquitted He took
an early and active interest in politics.
In 1887 he was elected an alderman in
Detroit, and two years later was one of
the delegates to the national convention
in Harrisburg which nominated William
Henry Harrison, grandfather of the pres
emit occupant of the White House, and he
is probably the only survivor of that con-
vention, of which Horace Greeley and
Historian Bancroft were also members.
When the Toledo war broke out--a dis
pute between Michigan and Ohio over
boundary lines-McReynolds marched to
the seat of war as a major and then
marched home again, as did the belliger-
ents on both sides, without firing gun.
In 1847 he was elected to the state Leg
islature as a senator to represent Detroit,
and with Ex-Governor Alpheus Felch
shares the honor of being the Oldest liv-
ing member of that body. While still a
member of the legislature the Mexican
war opened. He resigned his Office, and
receiving a commission from President
Polk went to Mexico as a captain in the
Third dragons. He won promotion by
gallant service and returned to Detroit
with an arm shattered by musket ball.
He was living in Grand Rapids, Mich,
when the late war broke out, and was
among the first to respond to the call
for troops. He was given commission
as colonel, raised the first volunteer
cavalry regiment of the war in New
York city and served throughout the
contest, receiving honorable mention for
services at Gettysburg. After peace had
been declared he returned to Michigan.
He continued in active practice of his
profession up to his seventy fifth year
and then retired. Colonel McReynolds
has been member Of the Masonic fra
ternity for sixty-three years. He has
been commander of. the Michigan de-
partment G. A. R., delegate to the ma
tiona1 encampment, and is now presi-
dent Of the National Mexican Veterans
union. His wife, a lineal descendant of
Elder William Brewster, one of the orig
inal Pilgrim Fathers,is still by his side,
and their married life covers more than
sixty wears.

Caused by Change of Fare.

The s.befoh, dewahn colored man was
noted for the brilliant whiteness of his
teeth. quality which is not inherited
by his descendants of the present day.
Nowadays the teeth Sof the negroes do
not seem to be nearly SO good as those of
his brother. The reason is to be found
in the change of food. The slaves had
plenty to eat, but the food given them
was Of the simplest kind. Pork, meal,
potatoes and sslch vegetables as they
raised themselves formed their bill of
fare. Now they eat all sorts of indigest-
ib1e stuff, outdaing the white people in
this direction, showing particular fond
ness for candies and sweetmeats. The
consequence is that in single genera
ton the ivory teeth of the slave have
given place to the decayed fangs of the
freedman

A French journal calls the attention
of mechanics to the fact that, though all
dilute mineral acids are adapted for tool
sharpening ten parts OF sulphuric
acid hydrate to 100 parts of water-the
desired end is really more quickly at
tanned if portion Of the sulphuric acid
be substituted by nitric acid, a suitable
mixture being one liter of water, fifty
grams of Chill saltpeter and sixty cubic
centimeters of concentrated sulphuric
acid.
This compound dissolves ~ grains of
metal within ten minutes from an iron
surface of one square centimeter. Dis
solution is slower where sulphuric acid
alone is used. Steel is acted upon in the
same manner as iron, with the excep-
ton that the process is not SO rapid, be-
cause of the polished surface becoming
covered with thin deposit of separated
carbon.

May Be a source TO Peril.

OF course, such an influence as this I'M
derneath the surface of the earth, espec-
tally in crowded districts, must, if con-
tinued for any length of time, be a source
of peril The question is, how can it be
remedied? And understand that some
of the companies are now considering
what promises to be an expensive, but
complete remedy.
They propose to drive thick copper
wire great distance into the earth, or at
least so far down as to touch moisture.
The bottom of these wires are to be me-
tallic plates. tits simply the principle
of the perfect lightning rod. These wires
arr to be placed in the earth at frequent
intervals. They will provide for a
return circuit so far out of the way of
danger as to remove all apprehension. 1t
is probable that when municipalities
earn of this danger (for it is now gener-
ally unknown) they will insist that these
precautions be taken.
This danger was something entirely
unlocked for when the trolley system
was first established, and it's discovery
illustrates how much is dependent upon
experiment for the complete utilization
of electricity as a commercial agent. 1t
is a matter which has been talked of a
great deal in electric circlas

Gen. M. G. Meigs, U. S. A. retired,
died here on Saturday with the grip.
From his appointment to West Point
in 1882 to the date Of his death he fl
led positions of great honor and great
er responsibility, and he filled them
all well.
Pension Commissioner Raum has

Although few republicans here ap-
peared to have at first thought Of ex-
Representative Perkins in connection
with the Kansas Senatorship, his ap-
poieSment by the Governor to fill the
unexpired term of the late Senator
Plumb was very well received. Mr..
Perkins has had eight years experience
in congressional life and that he will
ably serve his state in the Senate can
not be doubted.
4 very determined effort is being
made by the democratic leaders to
bring about an outward appearance

are far from being successful, and it
looks now as though they would be

in preventing an open rupture be-
tween the Crisp and Mills men or as,
they are oftenest called here, the
Cleveland and anti Cleveland men

eittled by Speaker Crisp are not in
the humor 20 be forgiven, and where
two or more OF them are gathered to-
gether the atmosphere is filed with
dire threats of vengeance at the first
opportunity. Speaker Crisp is laid
up the grip during the entire recess
and is yet, and has little opportunity
to know how deep the feeling of re-
sentiment against him is, but his friends
have fully recognized the gravity of
the situation, and, having gobbled up
the most desirable places, they are
now trying to mollify the Mills men
by feeding them large doses of 'taffy.'
But the crow which the Mills men
have so recently had 10 eat left n
taste in their mouths which prevents
their apjoying anything like 'taffy,'
particularly when it comes from the
same source that the crow did.
