The reason why Mir. Baslinger won't speak to any of the editors of the HGtckeye when he meets them, is this: Last Thursday morning he came into the office with poem, begining. "Oh, softly the moonlight sleeps on the cove" and he told us, as he carelessly tossed it on the table, that it was 'only alitte thing he just dashed off as he was coming down this morn ing hardly worth fixing up; hadn't time to polish it; if we wanted to take it just as hc threw it off, all right" We took it and pub ished it, and the next night, at the church sociable, his wife met us and said, And oh wasn't that sweet little poem of Frederics? And do you know, he worked on that from eight o'clock Wednesday evening until half past three in the morning, and he wouldn't let a soul of us come into the room, and then hc made the last copy of it into his note book at tho breakfast table. Why do editors always prefer lead pencil copy to ink? Frederic said they did" And right there stood Mir. Baslin- ger all the time.-Halckegs.

Sibyl hardly knew hsT she lived through
the next day it was one hard struggle not
to think. She could not, would not realize
the full meaning of the step she was about
to take, which was to give up all that q wo-
man should prize most, with the possible re-
suit that, should Geotfrey ever learn the
truth, he would scorn and despise her, and
cast her off forever, and to put herself with
in the power of the law, risking horrible
shame and punishment. But, when these
thoughts arose, she put them aside with
strong hand.


II do not care what risk run, she said
to herself again and again. "It is to spare
Godfrey, to save him from the misery OF
losing me again-perhaps to save him from
self-destruction."


She knew the reaction must come; she
knew she was mad, but no wavering came
with the knowledge. The trial was too hard
for her, she said, and she counted the hours
that would bring her nearer to the fatal step
she had determined upon, lest her resolu-
ton should give way. The sight of Cecil
was misery to her, for she knew that the day
might come when the boy would blush at
his mothers name, and already she shrank
from the gaze of his pure eyes.

A medical quack at Bombay has been enjoying lucrative position and achieved quiet fame by curing, or pre- tending to cure, all kinds of diseases by extracting in some mysterious manner a grub from the patient. A skeptical English physician seized the quack by the throat and demonstrated by actual exhibition that the rascal carried SUD- ply of the grubs in his mouth. The quack was kicked out, and now, with typical Oriental insolence, brings suit for damages against the man. who ex- posed him, and what is more, owing to some inexplicable defect in the law, is not unlikely to get them.

Hood used to tell story of a hypochondriac who was in the habit, two or three times week, ; of believing himself dying. On a certain occasion he was taken i'll with one of his terrors while riding out in his gig, and happen ing at the time to. see in the road ahead his family physician riding in his carriage in the same direction, he ap- piled the whip to his horse to overtake the old doctor as soon as he possibly could. The doctor, however, seeing him coming, applied the whip to his horse, and ae he had a nag that was considered a "goer," they had 8 close time of it for about three miles. But the hypochondriac, driving faster horse. finally came alongside of the doctor, and exclaimed, "Hang it, doctor, pull up instantly {! I am dying" '" I think you are" cried the doctor; "I never saw any one going so fast" ..~

 in the sschool-room during recess, the other scholars chuckled with glee, and the girl herself was seen to blush. When recess came, and the guilty girl was left alone with the teacher, the excitement in the playground was immense, and large boys bet immense quantities of tops and slate-pencils in favor of or against the probability that Miss Alice would be-in fact, punished. One enterprising boy climbed the lightning rod and looked in at the window. It is on his evidence that the remainder of the story rests.

 He never even offered to lick her, D testified the disappointed boy. "He just called her up and said, says he, Allie, I'd darned sight sooner marry you than lick you.' Then says Allie, It is about the same thing anyhow, so if you says marry, I'm with you.' Then the old man, he kissed her, and that's how it ended. There ain't no fairness about no teacher. He wouldn't have let boy off that way, you bet"

 l Doubtless the preclse language of the teacher and of Miss Alice was not cor rectly reported, but the main features of the boys evidence were undoubtedly true. The teacher was married last week, and has since repeatedly said that mathematics are all very we'll, but that man needs to cultivate his emotional nature and to develop his domestic afections His romance certainly came to him late and in an unexpected way, but those who have seen his young wife think that he is man to be envied.

of the body, and food placed in it.


This food was digested the same


as if it were in the stomach. If


the temperature of the juice be-


came much lower than that of the


body, digestion nearly or quite
ceased. This proved that ice water
drank on full stomach will stop
digestion at once and is one of the
best things in the world to induce
dyspepsia. The DR.. also analyzed
some of this juice and found what
it was composed of, and then he
made some that digested food ex-
actly as well as that furnished by
the dog. This suggests that the
day of jubilee for dyspeptics may
be here, and that their poor, weak
stomachs may, with artificial juice,
be able to digest a grand feast.

For some months past DIR. Stow
ell, of the University at Ann Ar
Dor, has been making some very
interesting experiments respecting
hunger, thirst, and digestion, and
this is the way he has proceeded.
He took quiet, well behaved dog,
bound him in frame, put him un-
der the influence of chloroform,
made a small incision just back of
his breast bone, through the hide
and flesh and into the cavity Of
the stomach. Through this he
placed half inch silver tube fang
ed at both ends, and securely fas-
tened it, so that one end was in
side the stomach and the other out
side the dog. In about two weeks
the wound was healed and "Alex'
so called after the renowned Alex.
st. Martin whose stomach taught
the world-was ready for scientific
pursuits. He first showed the fel-
lows how he could drink. The
plug in the tube was withdrawn
and water was set before him. Be-
ing thirsty, he drank and drank,
but the water ran out Of the tube
as fast at it went down his throat.
His thirst was not slaked. He was
astonished, disgusted, and thorough
ly demoralized. He leaped from
the room and would not be fooled
into tasting water for three or four
DAYS. He was afterwards allowed
to drink all he wished; then the
plug was drawn ont and the stom-
ach was emptied, when poor Alex.
was as thirsty and drank as greed
lily as before. 1t was repeated
again and again, and every time
the animal greedily slaked his
thirst. This proved very perfectly
that thirst is not desire Of the
mouth, nor throat nor stomach, nor
of all three, but demand of the
whole system. His thirst was per-
fectly satisfied by forcing water in
to his stomach through the tube.


Next he was kept without food
for "a hours, and then given milk.
When he had satisfied himself this
was drawn off and he was hungry
again. More milk was given and
presently drawn of and Alex. was
hungry as ever Finally he was
kept without food till he was known
to be very hungry and food was
injected through the tube. This
satisfied him perfectly. Thus hun
ger was proved to be q demand of
the whole system.

The London Lancet says: Few


people know the value of lemon


juice. A piece of lemon bound up


on corn will cure it in a few days ;


it should be renewed night and


morning. A free use of lemon
juice will always relieve a cough.


Most people feel poorly in the


spring, but if they would eat a
lemon before breakfast every day


for week-with or without sugar,
as they like-they would find it
better than any medicine. Lemon
juice, used according to this recipe,
will sometimes cure consumption !:
Put a dozen lemons into cold water
and slowly bring to a boil; boil
slowly until all the juice is extract
ed; add sugar to your taste and
drink. In this way, use one dozen
lemons per day. If they cause
pain lessen the quantity and use
only five or six day until you are
better, and then begin again with
a dozen a day. After using five or
six dozen, the patient will begin to
gain flesh and enjoy food. Hold
on to the lemons, and still use them
for several weeks more. Another
use for lemons is for a refreshing
drink in summer, or in sickness at
any time. Prepare as directed
above and add water and sugar.
But in order to have this keep well,
after boiling the lemons squeeze
and strain carefully; then to every
half pint of juice add one pound
of loaf or crushed sugar, boil and
stir few minutes more until the
sugar is dissolved, skim carefully
and bottle. You will get more
Juice from the lemons by boiling
them, and the preparation keeps
better.

NEW YORK, October 8.-Judge Van Brunt
to-day rendered his decision in the case of
the Astor heirs, who sought to enjoin the
city permanently from making improvements
on its water front, authorized by the act of
1871. While the decision, which is favor
able to the city, will doubtless be appealed
from, it is the most important rendered since
the ring trials. The questions involve nearly
the whole of the water front of the city, and
upon their ultimate determination will depend
millions of dollars Judge Van Brunt says:
1.-THE conclusion to which have arrived is
that the right of plaintiffs to this wharfage
is resting in covenant. and the city not hav-
ing in any manner granted covenant not to
use any land outside of the wharf, and not
having given any easement over the land for
the benefit of the wharf, the defendants have
invaded no rights of the plaintiffs in making
use of land outside of West street, and the
complaint must be dismissed with costs.

THE TICKET.-We give on our first page
the proceedings of the Democratic Kent
County Convention and the ticket put
forth for the suffrages of the county The
matter attracts, however, much less atten.
ton than usual from the fact that there is
no opposition ticket. 1t must necessarily
be campaign fat and barren of purpose,

interest in these must necessarily grow out
of the emoluments proceeding therefrom.
The present state of affairs does not show

founders of the Republic contemplated a
free and full use of the franchise privilege,
and when this is not the case, the individ-

possibly the best choice they could of the
names presented by the different Hundreds.
