The american is the very comprehen-
sive title of new weekly published at
St. Joseph, Mo, by Il. +. Lyons, SON.
in-law of Mrs. W. r. Hawkins, with
the high sounding motto, Principle
not Party" 1t is another independent
paper and the editor takes occasion to
remark, 1--WE will cling to our inde-
pendence, or leave our measure for our
coffin" Perhaps 'twould be as well to
have the measure on hand.
An announcement card from Port
land, Oregon, brings us the news that
Miss Eta Mae Huntley, a former typo
in this Office, was married To LEROY b.
johnson of that city on May ~. This
is what generally happens to the enter
prsing maidens who apply to them
selves Horace Greeley's advice TO young
men, and is decidedly fortunate for the
latter. We extend our congratulations
to the newly welded pair with the hope
that their matrimonial sea may be as
sunny and free from storms as that
placid ocean near which they have
moored their bark, THE beautiful
Pacific.
Rev. A. e.. Jones will preach the
Memorial sermon at the Nj. +. church

AS Monday is the day on which the

otic citizens take charge of the exercises

heroic dead. Brodhead Post having
been invited to partici pate, will assem-
bic at the armOry at $50, and march

In the Grand Rapids Herald of May
22we note an interesting interview with
Fred. Pelham, last years agent for the
Redpath Bureau, in which he states that
this bureau last year booked $40, 900
worth of entertainments in this state
alone, 81 900 of which came from De-
troit, Ann Arbor, and Grand Rapids
Mr.. Pelham gives Michigan the credit
of being the banner lecture state, and
says the lecture bureau affords the peo-
pie opportunities to hear celebrities that
they could not possibly have without
this agency, since very few speakers
could afford to hire special advance
agent, pay all his expenses, and run the
risk of drawing an audience.
We are in receipt of the advance
sheet of Under The Oaks at Jackson,
in process of publication by the Bankers
Art Publishing Co. of Detroit. A work
that shall give a comprehensive idea of
the principles and men of the Republi
can party from 1854 down to the present,
with full discussion by ilustrious
statesmen of the tariff, reciprocity, sill
yer coinage, and. all subjects bearing
directly upon the principles of the Re-
publican party, will be invaluable for
reference and one that would make a
great addition to the library of every
staunch Republican. The leading art
Gle will be from the pen of Michigan's
great "War Governor, Hon. Austin
Blair.
All lovers of music may expect treat
on next Saturday evening, May %, at
w wIich time the Eolian Ladies' Quartet
OF Hillsdale College will give an enter
tainment in the Opera House for the
benefit of the A. G.. +. society of the
Free Baptist church. The following
clipping from the Adrian Duly Times
shows what was thought of their con-
cert there;-"The Kolian Quartet were
deservedly compelled each time to make
a second appearance. They are per-
sonally prepossessing, sang sweetly, and
introduced some novel vocal effects,
fully justifying the favor with which
they were received" Tickets on sale at

Thursday at p. m. without extra
charge.
