Move Along.

The Indians view of the way in
which he has been treated by the white
man in this country was we'll given in
an anecdote related by Professor Eli
colt Evans of Hamilton college. The
famous Indian chief Red Jacket once
met Mr.. Evans granduncle. Joseph Ell
llcott, at Tonawanda, Niagara county.
MIR. Ellicott at that time was agent of
the Holland Land company, which own
ed most Of the land in what was later
known as the Eighth Judicial district
Of New York.
The two men shook hands and sat
down on convenient log. both being
near the middle of il. After a short
time spent in amicable conversation,
Red Jacket said pleasantly, Move
along, Joe.
Mr.. Ellicott did as he had been re-
quested and the chief moved up close to
him. In few minutes came second
request, Move along, joe I"
Again Mr.. Ellicott complied though
with considerable surprise, and again the
chief followed him closely. Scarcely had
this been done when Red Jacket again
said, Move along, Joe. -
Mr.. Ellicott was greatly annoyed, but
willing TO humor the chief he moved
along" once more, this time reaching
the end of the log
This was not sufficient TO satisfy the
chief, however, for "a moment later came
the fourth request, "Move along, Joe. ="
"Why, man." cried the agent irrita-
bly,, II cant move any farther without
getting off the log into the mud ~
ugh !" exclaimed Red Jacket con-
temptuously. just so white man.
Want Indian move along-move along.
Can't go no farther, but he cay. Move

The Heart of Gotham.

The real heart of Gotham, the brains
and genius Of the metropolis are to be
found IN very small section Of this big
city, writes New York correspondent
of the Pittsburg Dispatch. Between
Fourteenth and Furtieth streets are
found the men who write our dramas,
who make our songs, who compose the
music for our operas. whose pens are
responsible for many Of those bright lit
tie bits Of humor that tighten our lives,
whose brains invent many of the ideas
that other men utilize. 1t is no exagger-
alton to say that this section is RESPONSE
BILE for nearly every bit of the new or
original literary matter that is produced
in this city. II it is not actually com
posed in the little world designated, it
is there critically examined, revised,
amended or corrected and put into the
shape in which it is finally given to the
public. On Broadway, between the
streets named, one is constantly bump
ing against men and women who are re-
sponsihie for a good deal Of the music
and laughter o. g. .t whole country.

That Labor Case.

The case of Richard w. Anderson VS..
Gratiot Co. Printing Co. came off Mon
day in Justice Gees court at Alma.
The case occupied Just about five min
utes after it was opened. A. W. Bahlke
was attorney for the plaintiff and Geo.
L Stone Tor defendant. Mr. Anderson
was the only witness sworn. The re-
plies of Mr.. Anderson to half dozen
questions were sufficient TO cause Mr..
Bahlke to throw up the case in utter
disgust. The plaintiffs attorney asked
the secretary of the Gratiot County
Printing company, without placing
him on the stand, how much said com
pany was owing Mr.. Anderson. On
reply as to balance shown by said COM
panv's books. he directed the court to
enter up judgment for that amount
with small additional amount for inter-
est agreed upon.
The company's position was thus en-
+ rely vindicated, the amount allowed
Mr.. Anderson being just what the COM
parry agreed TO pay him, and just The
basis it has been willing to settle on
ever since the termination of the con-
tract.
We would not have taken occasion
TO mention the details of this case were
it not for publicity given it by Mr..
Anderson through other papers of the
county. The Gratiot County Printing
company has never paid less than 100
cents the dollar or any just claim,
snd we wish it generally understood
tlat it never will.
1t is now TO be noted whether
some of our contemporaries are so fast
t. make our vindication public through
their lumns as they were to publish
what appeared to be detrimental to
our interests.
