Bro. Sleeth, of the Byron Herald, ex
presses his views on the gubernational NOM
ination as follows:
"Col. A. I. Bliss for governor of Michi-
gan, subject to the Endorsement of the re-
publican state conception, is what the Sagi-
nav Courier Journal says. Mr.. Bliss with
nearly half dozen others have equal rights
to be In the field for nomination for gov
ernor, but when we come across any print
ers' boom for the Colonel for that Office on
account of the very magnanimous with
drawal, by him from the contest at Grand
Rapids when John T. Rich was last put in
nomination for governor, we are sorry that
any seek to pull the wool over the eyes of
the average electOr in this matter. When
Mr. Bliss I'm convention found three-fourths
of the delegates there were in SAVIOR of Rich,
what was there left for him, unless he had
become insane by the bee In his hat, but to
step down and out as sequence of the
silent reproof of the representative republi-
cans of Michigan. If any wish TO do him q
| favor because not nominated for governor
| i'm 1894, please come to the front with a
consistent apology for his effort to supplant
Gov. Rich, and beat him out of second
term, as has been the rule, unless not want

much scholarship to make good governor.

But more than all his deep religious
nature appears in his profound conf.
dence that the right thing is in the end
the eternally expedient thing. No an
cent prophet, neither jeremiah nor Isai-
ali, had profounder belief than he that
the prosperity of the nation rested at last
upon its righteousness, and that the
claims of the seemingly expedient were
infinitely Inferior to the claims of the
eternally right. This appears conspicu-
ously in the Bulgarian controversy. DIS

We take the following notice of the
Michigan Press excursion from the
Mexican Sunday Herald, printed at the
City OF Mexico February % ulto:
The Michigan editors will be welcomed
they come from the state of Zachary
Chandler who taught the American peo-
pie how to put man in the Presidency
who had not been elected, and so demon
strated the elasticity of Republican insti-
buttons. Michigan has produced other
great men including Gen. Alger, who is
usually up for the Presidential nomina-
ton when Republican National Conven-
ton meets and the state is the home of a
great University where co-education has
been success. The state is surrounded
on the east, north and west by lakes Of
fresh water, and is consequently exposed
to an incessent bombardment by Canadi
an gunboats in case of war. But for all
that no Michigander loses any sleep. The
Press of Michigan is noted for q pleasant
and genial humor, parJisanship which
allows no Mugwampery, and devotion
to ironclad political principles which is
touching in these modern days of scepti-
cism. Orthodoxy hourishes in Michigan
as does also spruce gum, and the girls are
all Junos and as fresh as the maids by
Kilarney's green banks. How the editors
can tear themselves away even for a few
weeks passes our comprehension.

A Living Fossil.

Prof. Denny recently gave a demon
stration to his students at Firth Col
lege, Sheffield, England, Of very un-
usual and interesting nature, says the
Westminster Gazette. Among the
most ancient of animals still inhabit-
ing our planet is the so-called mud
fish (Protopterus) Of Africa Great
ure worthy of our respect. if only In
consideration of it's vast antiquity,
which dates far back in the early
ages of the world. Of popular inter
est, the most striking feature of the
mud fish is the possession of lungs as
we'll as gills. On the approach OF the
dry season, in its natural haunts IN
Central Africa, the mud fish hollows
out chamber in mud, and enters up
on a period of rest extending over
many months, during which time it IS
without access to water and breathes
air only. While in the mud these
fishes may be dug up, and survive
even after journey across the world
in the dry state. Prof. Denny re-
ceived short time ago one of these
mud blocks. In the presence OF the
students the hard block was placed in
warm water, and after being thus ex-
posed for nea~'v two hours the fish,
which went to sleep in tropical Africa
many months ago, awoke and came
forth from its temporary sepulcher to
find itselfin bath of tap water in the
biological laboratory of Firth College,
where it is now alive and doubtless
! happy.

Our Cause Was Just and Right.

The Confederate reunion at Rich
mond, Virginia, beginning June 30
and ending June 2, was great oc-
casion. 1t behooves our Southern
people to honor forever the brave men
and women who served the "Lost
Cause so magnifcently on the field
and in the home; and we must guard
jealously against Misrepresentation OF
the issues that produced the struggle
between the States and the facts of
that war. Patriotic loye for our re-
united country does not demand any
forgetfulness of the issues, the men,
the women, and the deeds Of 1863.
We have nothing to be ashamed of in
those trying years. 1t would be q
shame to forget those'who served, suf-
fered and died for our rights; and it
would be shame also to abate one jot
Of our claim that our cause was just
and right. We accept the issue loyal
ly, but we maintain steadily, not that
eve thought we were right" but that
We were really right.
It is pleasant to note that South
Carolinians had much kindness be-
slowed upon them, and that our great
soldier and citizen, Gen. Wade Hamp'
ton, received extraordinary honors
His devoted services in war and peace
deferred such recognition, and oul
people will be glad that the old hero
was accorded his dues. Virginia
knows how to do the just and graceful
thing, and she did it in her best style
Officers and privates we're made to
feel that their deeds were remembered
So may it ever be, everywhere

The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1896-07-29

Prof. Ball, the Astronomer Royal of
Ireland and one of the most popular as
Economical writers in Great Britain, has
Just finished q curious calculation on the
distance to the nearest of tho "f1ed
srars." The calculation was inspired by q
visit to one Of the great Lancashire thread
factories. The superintendent of one of
the factories inspected by the astronomer
informed the star-gazer that the com bined
output of the various Lancashire thread
fac, ories WAS 155,O00,000 miles OF thread
per day! Those figures were certainly
enough to astonish anyone, unless it
should be an astronomer. Prof. Ball has
long since passed the point where he ex.
presses surprise at string of figures
which represent even billions of miles.
Instead of falling stunned at the thread
man 8 feet, he paraly Zed the manufacturer
of cotton tilaments by telling him that If
all the factories in Lanca hire should
work day and night, producing l55, 900. 900
miles of thread every IL hours, it would
take them 200 years to spin thread long
enough to reach from the earth to the
nearest of the fixed stars!
