The Republican in its last is§ue uiges upon farmers the advantage of talcing their wool to Howell in order to receive the competition if buyers in a ulive town," instead of selling to "traveling buyers." That's all very good for your town, Bro. Stair, but the farmers of this locality have found that it is safer to sell their wool at home, while they are on their own premises, at a stated price, and deliver near at home, than to take their clips to the "live town" where buyers frequently combine instead of compete and sell at a higher (sounding) pi ice, with the discounts—which generally bring the average to less than they could get at home. We understand that our local buyers expect to visit the farmers and buy the wool a t their hornet, thoxigh on their delivering days they will all be on the street and any wool brought in unsold will receive all the advan­tages of nuinerous birver?.

Just as sure as the sun^rises on July 4th, just so sure the cannon"w-ill boom in Pinckney. A call for du:ats has been circulated and the business men have responded nobly with their means. The sjurit that pervades vil­lage and vicinity was born ot 76, and such a celebration will be held here as will make larger towns envious. With the purse that is assured and the will manifested nothing can prevent, just the liveliest dav ever witnessed h re, There will be sentiment and son^r, patriotism and pleasure. The acred who turn their faces from us and the fellow and his girl who dare to drive hence will miss a treat, while the small boy that sports with the festive tir&-cracker will annoy his anxious parents ^-proudly in Pinckney as at W-aslung-loa. ^o--G04»pi(4a—a-wan-;*^-ments a meeting, dt-cjtizens will be held at the town ball to-mfrriiQW even-

on with its roses, that we recall the-great panorama that put down oppres-. sion and gave u« liberty unsullied,-we hear again the rumbling of war and its magnificent response. Be­tween sections the dividing line was first imaginary, but it crystalized and. became a dark and threatening evil.-Muttering? grew fiercer and brother-' hood was severed. Emigration started westward; but from North to South or South to North there was none. Com­mercial freedom between these sections was checked and assimilation wound--ed. Bitter publications served to an­tagonise, and bad men from either sec­tion plied skilfully their means to­ward separation until the storm burst ' over the land. The comparatively . young bear indellibly upon their mem-. ories the news of Sumter and noble . Anderson. State after state goes out and from the galaxy of our Union, one by one, eleven stars were sought to be torn. But from the hearts of tho brave boys of the North came an em­phatic and patriotic ^No." There came call after call for troops and from thousands of its firesides sprang the nation's detense. What scenes fol­lowed ! Not the patriotism of men • alone, but the blessings and tears of . mothers, wives and lover3 formed the palladium of the country's honor and maintained the union of the states. That fond good-bye, that tearful prayer, that proud consecration made firm the heart ot the soldier, and vows -made at parting were never forgotten. Bull Run and Gettysburg came on in quick succession; the destruction and the desolation of war was met, and in time ended. Some returned; but the aged father who gave them to their country was gone; the niother who blessed them had been borne down to the grave in sorrow. The loving maiden came again, but instead of the strong arm that"bai~be^n pledged to her support only the empty sleeve was there. How can we but remember all these and be faithful to those who sac­rificed? Tomorrow will be a" day glo­rious, yet sad, ot importance to tho in­dividual as well as to the nation. , Let us not only remember those whose

"fcrayes we see and know, but the thousarrds^at Arlington and elsewhere over whose fenjains we have only the silent "Unknown^- ^Neither should we remember only those'vviK^are gone, as we too frequently do. Tlibse^yet living were as brave, as true as-tlieyT"" Lrt us speak to them kind'y and be­stow our gratitude while they are with us. T feel like reverently lifting my hat and' bowing to the soldier ot 62—5. They should be honored in our thoughts, actions and legislation.

The young to-day often long for the opportunities of '61, that through such they may gam. enviable distinction. Let me answer, there are before you a41-1 hese— ekanees-v- -There- are- mura l " Bu'l Runs and Gettysburg. Rule your spirits. Dutv demands honor—

Pursuant to programme on Monday morning several veterans, with citi­zens, met at the church and-marched to the cemetery, where the graves oh

six soldiers were decorated. The5

hands that administered were few, but the scene was as impressive as though there were a thousand. The early hour was made necessary by the fact that the veterans had to meet their Post at Howell on that day. Those whose graves were remembered by the boys were William Burch, James White, Nelson Potter, William Robi-son and Lansing Collier, of the late war, and James Pullen, of 1812. I t is since learned that there are other sol­diers' graves there, and before another' Memorial day every one should be lo-" cated, that none may be neglected;-

THE LIQUOR QUESTION. T h e S e n a t e C o n s i d e r i n g t h e S u b j e c t .

Legislative Bf tttt*r* In General.

The bill to rer ise , consolidate and amend the liquor lawi wax taken up in the seuate the other afternoon. Mr. Holbrook of Ing­ham in the ckair. Mr. Hubbell »ent up a brief in wri t ing objectinK to it as uucon htitutioual, and quot ing J u d g e Uooley.and various other decisions of the cour ts of Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Uland, New York and Michigan, to show the unconsti­tu t ional i ty of the provision in section 1 of the bill which makes the t a x a lien on the stock and fixture* in any saloon, bar-room, brewery or distillery at uuy t ime after the t ax is due and unpaid for a period of ten dtiyi. The a rgumen t had its effect— the unconst i tu t ional lines were struck out no one dissenting.

Mr. Hubbtll moved to s t r ike out ,4flve y e a r s " and insert "one y e a r " as fixing the penalty n drutrgist shall tie under for sell­ing bq'uor in violation of ihe terms of the bill which is to debar him from selling liquor for a period of live y»ars titter con­viction. He said t h a t the penal ty was ex­cessive, as was nlso the provision tha t a "drug clerk " should be subject to the same penalties as his employer. Would the senate deprive a man of following his pro fession for such a leugtu of t ime for such an ortense' He though t all laws should be reasonable and have reasonable penalties - o t h e r w i s e they could n o t be enforced. Messrs. Edwards ' Babcock, and others fol­lowed in argument , and the motion of Mr. LiubheH prevailed.

The house commit tee of the whole has agreed to the bill of Mr. Rotters of Hurry, making it the du ty of ci ty and village marshals, constables, sheriffs and other officers to take par t icular notice of viola­tions of the liquor law uud to make com­plaints accordingly-Tai l ing in which any person of ma tu re age can nave the afore said officers brought to book, arrested, tried, and if found guilty j>uni hed by a fine of not le-is than $50 and imprisonment for not less than ten days.

The bill of Mr. l.'akey of Kalamazoo, tha t persons charged upon information or indic tment with assault with intent to commit murder , rape or robbery, and ac­qui t ted of these crimes but convicted of assault Mild ba t te ry merely, shall be pun­ished witk imprisonment in the s tate pri-on not exceeding rive years or by tine not exceeding f.\ or impr isonment in the countv iail not exceeding one year, in the discretion of the court, has "passed the house committee of the whole.

The bill to make election days le^al holi--days and subject to the provisions of the law whiek close* banks, etc. , on holidays and makes notes and bdls of exchange payable the-previous day, is now on the order of th i rd rending.

The house had a wurni discussion over Mr. Hosford s bill to car ry iri'to-offect sec­tion lrJ of art icle la of the constitution, relat ive to the holding of real estate by. corporation-'. A motion was made to strike out all after the enacting clause which was defeated. Some of the great landed corporat ions and land gran t rail­road companies such as the Fortune Lake & Lake Superior ship canal company and others have !o p t a t to rneys at work here all the session maluug ground against the bill. Its.merit* were not' discussed today; the debate will come when tlie bill is on i ts "-third" reading and the house is full. There is a feeling tha t the public .lands ought not to be held in this way, but should be offered for sale at reasonable price- ami this feeling will win many votes for the bill. y'j>-

— Y lh> senate has passed a bill nppropriat-

m £-£ < tyW -for tiwj-s.taUs~seh.oo Llor. girls. The prevailing s>tvti.ment in the house

in favor of s t r ingent railroad legislation ha- re-uited in passing the Rogers bill. This atl'ects^freight rates as radically as the two cent I ill all'ects pa-senger ritt-es. It is -uhstantial ly an application of the inter s tate commerce law to the Michigan roads. Discrimination fa\ oring localities or .shippers • is prohibited and made pun­ishable byl ines up to JMa.Oto. The towns or individuals aggrieved may have an in­vestigation by the railroad commissioner, who e-tahlishes the ra tes which -must thereafter rule. A greater r a t e cannot be charged for a shor t di-tnnce o \e r the same line than for a longdis tance. This provision i- aimed against the discrimina­t ion which rural localities claim is' made in favor of large cities handling, through freight. Pooling between competing lines is prohibited, "Ihe bill passed by 77 to 11(, indicating the prevai l ing sent iment against railroads. This bill and the two cent fare bill now go to the senate,

tees. Although b u t 125,000 is asked for as a s ta r te r , lilre most o ther s ta te insti tu­t ions i t would he expected t h a t t he school would be more liberally deal t wi th as it expanded. The ins t i tu t ion would be open to all residents of the s ta te and the tui t ion would be free, except a nominal fee of $'ia to cover incidental expenses. Although the in t roducers of the bi l l are earnest in urg ing it, there is little or no prospect of its passage, for it comes a t too late a day. Its in t roduct ion , however, s t a r t s an agita­t ion for such an ins t i tu t ion, which may f;row into a public demand for the school. f such should be the case, the passage of

Luce to the audience, which greeted him with hearty applause. He said:

The history nf the world is the story of its wars. War seems to have been the chief event of ancient times. All nations engaged in war of defense or oifense.

j The nations eaeli had their military heroes ' whom they loved and who live in history. i This emmtry has passed through a war I unequalled in the unnals of history for , destruction of numbers and bravery shown. I In this war it had its heroes, CJram, j Thomas, Sherman and Steedman. In the ' latter general Michigan has peculiar in­

terest. He commanded Michigan soldiers, and he lived close to Michigan.

(!ov. Luce congratulated the city and state upon having such a monument pre-

] sented to it by Col. Finlay. He then paid j a glowing tribute to (Jen. Steedman and j closed by thanking the people of Toledo ! for the kindness shown himself" and staff. i (Jov. Luce was loudly cheered as lie con-! eluded:

The bill to reriae, consolidate and amend the l iquor l i w i wait taken up in the senate the other afternoon. Mr. Holbrook of Ing­ham in the ckair. Mr. HubbeU nent np a brief in wri t ing objecting to it as uncon st i tut ioual , and quoting Judge Cooley,and var ious other decision-* of the cour ts of Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York and Michigan, to show the unconsti­tu t ional i ty of tht< provision in section I of the bill which makes the t ax a lien on the stock and fixtures in any .saloon, bar-room, brewery or distillery a t any t ime after the t ax is due and unpaid for a period of ten dtivi. The a rgument had its effect— the unconst i tu t ional lines were struck out no one d^sent ing.

Mr. Hubbell moved to strike ou t -'Ave y e a r s " and insert "one year"' us fixing the penalty a druirgHt shall be under for sell­ing liquor in violation of the ternis of the bill which is to debar him from selling liquor for a period of live years al ter con­viction. He snid tha t the pen >lty was ex­cessive, as was rtlso the provision tha t a "drug clerk ' should be subject to the same penalties as his employer. Would the senate deprive a man of following his pro fession for such a leugth of t ime for such an ort'ensiC He thought all laws should be reasonable and hnve reasonable penalties - o t h e r w i s e thev could not be enforced. Messrs. Kd wards" Kabcock, and others fol­lowed in argument, and the motion of Mr. HubbeU prevailed.

The house commit tee of the whole has agreed to the bill of Mr. Rogers of Hurry, making it the duty of city and village marshals, constables, sheriffs and other officers to take par t icular notice of viola­t ions of the liquor law and to make com­plaints accord ing ly- fa i l ing in which any person of mature age can have the afore said officers brought to book, arrested, t r i ed rand if found guil ty puni hed by a fine of not le-*s than $frl and imprisonment for not less than ten days .

The bill of Mr. l.akey of Kalamaxoo, t ha t persons charged upon information or indic tment with assault with intent to commit murder, rape or robbery, and ac­qui t ted of these crimes but convicted of assault and bat tery merely, shall be pun­ished with imprisonment in the s ta te pri-on not exceeding rive years or by fine not exceeding t"\ or imprisonment in the cotintv mil not exceeding wie year, in the discretion of the c o u r t s has passed the house committee of the whole.

The bill to make election days legal holi­days aiul subject to the provisions of the law which closes banks, e t c , on holidays arid makes notes and bills ot exchange payable the previous day, is now on the order of th i rd reading.

The house hud a warm discussion over Mr. Hosford s bill to car ry into effect sec­tion 12 of article l."> of tin- consti tution, relat ive to the holding of real estate by corporat ion- . A motion was made to str ike ou t all after the enacting clause which was defeated. Some of the grea t landed corporations and land g ran t rail-rond oompanies_xui?ti as the I'ortuge Lake & Lake Superior ship caual company and others have kept a t to rneys at work here all the session making ground against the bill. Its me r i t -we re not discussed today; the debate wilt come when the bin is on its third reading and the house is full. There is a feeling that the public lands ought not to be held in this way, but should bo offered for sale at reasonable prices and this feeling will win many votes for the bill. >

The senate has passed a bill appropriat-s ta te sobool ior-girrs.

The prevailing sent iment in the house in favor of. s tr ingent railroad legislation ha> resulted in passing the Rogers bill. This affects freight rates as radically as the two cent l ill affects pa-seiigor rates. It is substantially an application of the inter-state commerce law to the Michigan roads . Discrimination favoring localities or shippers is prohibited and made pun­ishable by fines up to *l.\0n>. The towns or individuals aggrieved may have an in­vestigation by the railroad commissioner, who e-tablishes the ra tes "which must thereafter rule. A grea ter r a t e cannot be charged for a short, d i s t a n c e over the same line than for a long distance. This provision is aimed against the discrimina­tion which rural localities claim is made in favor of large cities handling through freight. Pooling between competing lines is prohibited.

The inst i tut ion would be open to all residents of the s t a t e and the tui t ion would be free, except a nominal fee of $2o to cover incidental expenses. Although the introducers of the bill are earnest in urging it, there is li t t le or no prospect of its passage, for i t comes a t too late a day. I ts introduction! however, s tar ts un agita­tion for such au inst i tut ion, which may f row into a public demand for the school. f such should be the case, the passage of

a similar measure a t the next session would be assured. The bill is designed to give instruction in the praotical branches, such as founding, carpentering, etc.

Gov. Luco has sent to the senate a spec ial message commending the nation of tho legislature in str iking ou t tho appropria­tion of $18,000 desired for a hospital at the soldiers' home.

Honoring » Hero. A monument to (Jen. James H. Steed-

man, " the hero of Chlekamauga ," whlrh was erected in Toledo by Col. J. W. Fin-la\ , the millionaire brewer of that city, was unveiled on the26th inst. (lov. Luce and staff and the Detroit Light (Juurds took part in the exercises.

The procession was abdut one mile In length. Gen. U. B. Hayes, ex-president of the United States, marched with his post and seemed to enjoy the tramp. The windows, buildings and streets along the route were crowded with spectators, there behiK fully 25,000 strangers in the city. At Kinley Place, where the monument is erected, they halted.

(!ov. Foraker was introduced, and after a few preliminary remarks, paid a glow­ing tr ibute to tlie memory of (!eu. Steed-uiiin.

The monument was then unveiled by Miss Emma Steednum, granddaughter of the general mid an inmate of the soldiers' and sailors ' orphans home of .Xenia. At this point the rain brought the afternoon exercises to a close. In the evening ex­ercises were held in Memorial hall. The proceedings commenced when (Jen. .John C. Lee introduced Gov. Cyrus (J. Ijice to the audience, which greeted him with hearty applause. He said;

The history of the world is the story of its wars. War seems to have been the eliief event of ancient times. All nations engaged in war of defense or offense. The nations each hud their military heroes whom they loved and who live in history. This country has passed through a war unequalled in the annals of history for

I destruction of numbers and bravery shown. ; In this war it had its heroes, Gram, j Thomas, Sherman and Steedman. In the

latter general Michigan has peculiar in­terest. He commanded Michigan soldiers, and he lived close to Michigan,. '

Gov. Luce congratulated the city and state upon having such a monument pre­sented to it by Col. Finlay. He then paid a glowing tribute to Gen. Steedman and closed by thanking the people of Toledo for the kindness shown himself and staff. Gov. Luce was loudly cheered as he con­cluded:

Iiheumatism a Blood Disease entirety Cured.

ROCUESTEK, April 1, 1S86. To the r<trd'e Medicine Co.,

Gents :--Allow mo to say a few words in praise of Dr. Pardee's Rheumatic Remedy; and if wha t I have to say will induce oth­ers who are afflicted with neuralgia or rheumatism to liee it, I shall feel tha t I have been the means of doing some little good to my fellow., men. December 27, 1SS5, while a t work in the shop, I was tak­en suddenly with sharp, piercing, pains, aud was compelled to leave tho shop. Tho next morning I was unable to rise, and I grew worse daily although I WKS under the best medical t reatment . But I obtain­ed no relief until I began using Dr. Par­dee's Remedy, which I did March 17th, and after using it three days, 1 could walk about the house. I cont inued to use it and improved rapidly every day. I am now at work and entirely free from pain, and have gained flvo pounds in weight, but I xhall continue the remedy until I fee sure the poison is out of my blood, for I am cer ta in tha t rheumat ism is a blood disease. You are at l iberty to use my name or refer any one to me, for I shall only be too glad to recommend i t to any one who is suffering as I was. I know it will cure any case of rheumatism, if used as directed.

I am, very t ru ly yours,

PINCKNEX DISPATCH. r T w i S u . , EDITOR AND MBLISHER.

Piackaay, Michigan, Thursday June 2, 1W7

IK honor of the patriot dead whose graves were decorated last Monday the DISPATCH can do no better than to publish the following address given by the martyr Lincoln on the battle field ot Gettysburg, at the great gath-. ering, .Nov. 19, 1863, which inaugura­ted the national cemetery: '•Fourscore and i>eyen years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so

/conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field ot that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave up their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper tnat we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we cannot ded­icate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our pow­er to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here; but it can never forget what, they did here. It is for us, the hying, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly ad­vanced. It is rxther for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause tor which they gave the la-. full measure ot devotion; tnat we her highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, tinder God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of Un­people, by the people, and for the peo­ple, shall not perish from 'the earth."

The de­pression is wide spread—wide as the ;ivitized world; it permeates avery ar-ocation, every rank ot society. Tin* professions are overcrowded.

A strike and lockout of the brick­layers of Ann Arbor occarred last week. Flinn & Flanigan, the principle contractors of that city, were notified by their men that they would work but nine hours per day hereafter, and the fiim immediately stopped work and discharged all their men, thus de­laying the completion of several brick blocks that are being constructed The meh were receiving the highest rates of wages, from $3 to $4 per day. One of the peculiar features of the case is that Mr. F i . - , one of the firm, is master workman ot the knights of labor assembly. The am.ir was finally set tied, and in favor of the strikers, who get their nine'hours.

Seated in the waiting room at the union dep jt last night were a man and woman, whose story if true, might have furnished the ! heme for Will Carleton's "Over the Hills to the Po >r House."

They were a Mr. and Mrs. Decker, formerly of Ea on Rapids, now of the world; once wealthy, happy and honored, now turned out by well-to-do children, residents of Eaton Rapids. The citizens there had raised a'purse of $6 to enable the de­serted old couple to fro to Ithaca, where Mrs. Decker has a sister. Mrs Barnard of the depot hotel kindly brought them a warm supper, upon receiving wh_]_ch_the frieiiiilesi--abi-woo+an burst into tears and insobbinor tones exclaim­ed: "This is a good deal better than we have been used to ain't \t old man ?"

'*K8TH1U.M TUNXEL."

The shades or night had fallen, the moon was rising, a cold, sharp wind was blowing as the train sped on to i ts dest ination. There were few first-class passengers. No one travels- who can avoid it on a December night.

The third-class carriages were well filled. Half-way between Clirt'e and London lies the great tunnel of Es tham, supposed to be one of the largest and darkest in England; supposed too, to be haunted. The guards and the engine drivers, the strokers and men on the line, plate layers, and workmen of all kinds , tell the same story. The tunnel is haunted. A horrible accident happened there once; and again a dread­ful murder was committed in its dark depths . I t may have been all fancy, but guards and engine drivers told Btrange stories of wha t they saw and heard as they flew th rough Estham Tunnel . They spoke of white-winged yet grotesque shapes tha t passed through the air, of wild wailing cries that were like the moans of lost souls.

Guards and engine drivers would come out of Estham Tunnel with white faces and pallid lias. They did not object to a glass of brandy a t the next station, and they never said much of what they seen or heard. One iu,an crossing the line at night when he had no buisness near it, declared that at the mouth of the tunnel he had seen a great terrible skeleton, and tha t he had been terrilied out of itis life ever since; but then people laughed at him. Some said he had stayed too long at the "Barley Mow;" others that he wa3 su­persti t ious. One or two, more thought­ful than thereat , did look puzzled when, a few clays afterward,_the second terri-_ t»Ie eat as troph e ~~h.app e n e d in Es tham Tunnel. ,

Of all accidents a railway accident is the most terrible; th03e who have never witnessed one can form no idea of the horrors of it.

Those who road in the papers tha t a rai lway- accident occurred a t such a place, with loss of life, and many wounded, do not in the least decree realize what has . happened; a shin on lire at sea is a terrible tiling but not worse than a collision in a dark tunnel between two heavy freight trains—the monstrous size and strength* of the engines, the unearthly noise of the steam, the cries of the people, the con­fusion, the darkness, make the scene far worse than anything Dante has% described in his "Inferno,"—make a railway accident the most awful catastrophe on earth.

So the train sped on, and the living freight were all unconscious of their doom.

Lady Stair was thinking deeply; she sat with her head resting against tho cushioned seat, the beautiful face look­ing white-aTTcr-grvstly in the pale light. Now that she was at a distance from Oakclifle, she was even more frightened; nothing could have scared or frightened her more than that one word, "divorce ," and the more sho thought of it, the more terrible it seemed to her.

She was uncertain, too, as to wha t power her husband had over her; it was possible be mignt send to Iuisfail and force her to appear. She 'woulc

.not go home; bet ter starvation in the streets, better death in the hospitals or workhouse, than to go home and be

•.dragged from there buck to Oakclifle, than to face the horrors of tha t horrible

-CXUllL No. never: she had not thonphr, of this when she loft Oakclitte; she had thought of her father's house as a sure refuge—of her father's love as a sure protection—and now it suddenly oc-curerd to her t ha t no one could keep her husband from her, no one could prevent his anger from falling upon her, if lie knew where she was. Xo; she would not go home, at least not yet , not until months and years had passed, not until Lord Stair had forgotten her, not until all fears of "Divorce" were ended. She would go to London, she hail a purseful of gold, and she could work; she would work, starve or die; t be would do anything rather than re­turn to Oakellrto. • * T h e t rain sped on. Onee she looked ou t into the (hick blackness of the night ; she could see nothing but tho occasional glare oft lie red lights.

'•What time is it< Phu-bc?" she asked, nnd tho maid d rew out the beautiful jeweled watch.

" I t is j u s t six o'clock, my lady," she said. "Shall I give you this now?"

"No , never mind," replied Lady Stair, " I do not want i t . " \ Six o'clock. Then they were half­way to London, and another hour would pans before Lord Stair "reached home and heard the shameful story in which tln-fi was so little tru^h, yet which she could not al together deny; th i s at TV which no one understood and no dntij onhl g ive the key of—but herself.

Her^^ heart grow quiet with the limn 'iit-"Tt-4p*d been beatmg furiously, f» mildly; too^Hhat she could hear t he

•ound. Bu t now she g rew calmer; death held no fear for her , life non? greater than this: tha t she should be compelled to return to Lord Stair.

So t h e t rain Bped. At t imes the wind whistled round the carriages with a loud, mournful wail, at t imes the driver's whistle sounded shrill and sham.

"This is Estham Tunnel ." aaldPh<ebe Askeron, as with a thud and a roar they entered the black depths . "My cousin was killed in this tunnel Ave years ago . "

On with a terrible roar, th rough the hick darkness with the occasional

spectral glare of red light; a dark—a long tunnel.

Oh, heavens! what is it? A noise so horrible tha t it was deafening—a horri­ble shock; the noise of two heavy engines meeting, the burst of flame, the crashing of wood and iron, the mad escape of steam, the cries of a hundred people. What is it?

The moment before mistress and maid were seated in a first-class carri­age, the lamp lighted, the maid t rying to read by Its light, the mistress t ry­ing to collect her thoughts; then came a sudden, horrible crash—the carriage stood still, then rolled back, then was propelled forward; a sudden, blinding light wrapped round—there was a ter­rified cry from the two woman; Phoebe Askeron tried to take hold of Lady Stair —the next moment the carriage was crushed into atoms and those atoms were all in flames. Phcebe Askern was buried beneath the burn idg wood and crushed iron, while Lady Stair was thrown violently against the wall of the tunnel .

Then came darkness and oblivion. I t was unfortunately an accident of too common occurrence—a •collision of . two passenger trains, in the midst of • the terrible cold and darkness of a winter 's night . :

For years afterward this was wri t ten of and spoken of as one of the worst accidents of its kind. One of the boilers burst, and the scalding steam seemed to fill the tunnel . Many of the passen­gers were crushed beneath the debris of the carriages—many wer* burned to death, for some of the carriages took lire; others were killed by the shock— ; by the cruel blows of falling iron; others ; half burned, half blinded, crawled away ! from the awfuL wreck. One engine- > driver was killedf the other maimed; both guards , strange to say, were unin­jured. Never was a scene so t e r r i b l e / witnessed before. Whea anyth ing like order was established, two men Were sent, one each way, with signals to stop other t rains from enter ing the ! tunnel; men werei sent also to the nearest stations in search ,of help. The rest did their best in looking after the dead, the dying, the wounded. When help came, and was properly organized, . under the broken up wreck of a first-class ca rnage the body of a woman was "found—a spectacle so lioFrTble'that the • men turned from it sick and shudder ing. | The burning wood had fallen on the I head, the neck, and face, there was i nothing left but a charred and burned j mass beyond all human recognition.

But tiicrc was a gold watch, with jeweled initials; there was a pu r se with golden clasp,'on which a mono­gram was engraved. In the pocket of the jacket was a silver filigree card-ease, which one of the men opened, and the name on the half-burned, half-scorched eartis was:

"Lady Stair ." • They looked from one to another . "This is the body of Lady Stair ,"

they said, one to another, " t he wife of Lord Stair of Oakclifle Towers; wo must send word at once."

Not three feet from them lay Lady Stair herself; the sound of their voices roused her from her terrible swoon of fear. Where was she? All-dark dread­ful darkness, with the of

torches, glare red

t h e

" I t !« poor Phoebe," she thought to herself, " they ha re found my things upon her and they believe it to be me."

Through the darkness and the at­mosphere of horrors, a sudden idea came to her, They believed her dead. She had been longing for death. Here was a chance of death in life. She rose slowly, and olinglng with on« hand to the damp, Wall now reeking with steam, she walked to the end o: the tunnel; it seemed to her an endless walk. She knew when she reached the mouth of the tunnel by the sudden blowing qf the fresh, cold air.

By the feeble light of the moon she saw before her a steep bank; she cllmed it with difficulty—climbed the wooden fence and fell exhausted on the white crisp grass of the meadow bank.

" I am dead in life," she said to'her-self. "Dead in life."

"A LOYAL HEAKT

Six o'clock had struck, and Lady Per th paced the white drawing-room with rapid BtepB. Surely she had not gone too far? She had driven the help­less girl to the very verge of madness wi th fear, but she considered her-self justified in what she had done—quite jus t i f ied^-Her brother 's marriage was a m i s t a ^ i r o m begining to end. The girl was not worthy of her position or of his love. She was evidently deeply in love with Captain Este.

In her own heart Lady Perth did not for one moment believe the girl guilty of anything more than imprudence, but here was a chance she might never have again, and she would avail her­self of it

Her story looked straight forward and frank enough jus t as the guilt of Lady Stair looked clear enough. She had arranged in her own uind all she would say to him and how she would aay it. Lady Stair had not lef£ her room. She had kept watch over the hall. No one had passed. - T h e maid had gone to her mistress some time since.

"A case of red lavender or sal-volat­i le," said my lady to herself with a sneer.

Of one thing she felt quite certain, neitheT mistress nor maid had quitted the room. She never thought of the long, French door that opened on to the lawn.

She was there ready to meet Lord Stair, to tell him all before his wife had any chance of explaining her story to him. She wanted to ekcite his anger and jealousy, and then she knew she was safe.

Six o'clock, and then seven struck. Even as the strokes were falling sho heard the sound of 'Lord' Stair 's voice. She went straight to him.

"Douglas ," she said, "1 wisii to speak to you I have somethiuij very particular to say. Where will you see

Ten Million Acres More. *r»rth Dakota V*<m r. : There are over 10.000,030 acres of the fln-eHt grazing and farming lands in Dakota lying went and north of Devil's Lake, which have been withheld from the opera­tions of the homestead and preemption laws because of the questionable claim of a small band of Turtle Mountain Chippe-was to the lnnd.

In January, liSfl, Huryevor (General Tay­lor, of Dakota, contracted for the surveys of 1,5 0,000 of these lands in compliance with existing regulations, but in le^n than a month with characteristic ignorance and perversity, CommUtdoner Sparks is­sued an order indefinitely postponing the surveys, and even went HO tar as to decline to place on file plats of several townships surveyed under contracts approved prior to the a< tion suspending purveys, after their examination in the tfold, and their correctne^ was affirmed Mr. H.

"Th i s is Es tham Tunnel ." There must have ''been an accident,

then, In Eastham Tunnel. Close to her lay the half-burned wreck of a carriage, the half-burned body of a woman; a group of men stood by; she made no move or stir , she uttered no cry, she spoke no word, sho was too da/.ed, too bewildered.

Then some others came' up. "Wha t is the matter here?" asked

This intrepid ollicer seized upon eight boa-constrictors which were completely un­der the control of the lad}- in whose possession they were, but which were perhaps likely to prove less amenable to the influence of the representative of the law. After all, it turned out that the snakes had been improperly seized; for the fair snake-charmer was able to prove that she was not responsible for the debt in respect of which the seizure had been made. The lady for whom sho was mistaken was a native of Mauritius, and the oriental appearance of the snake-chamer had convinced the creditor tha t he had found his long-sought debtor. The snakes wore .-duly recovered, but tlieir owner had to mi­ll ergo the humi 1 iation of admitt ing, for The sake of proving her""identi ty/ that she was not a native of any country where snake-cnarniingeonies by nature but a modest inhabitant of the. old world who had learned her trade from an acrobat ic husband.

"No one will ever recognize her in this world again, sir; where the carri­age fell on her, there is nothing left but a charred mass; these will identify her, there are a watch, a card case. and several other things."

" I t is Lady Stair ," said the one in authori ty, bending over the relics.

He t r ied ; to detach the chain, but it was fastened in some intricate manner in (the button-holes of the jacke t .

"There is quite enough for identifica­t ion," said the Tnew*i;omer. "Now my mon, carry the unfortunate lady in the shed, lay these things by her, so tha t her friends may recognize them. A terrible s ight ; quick, men."

"Lady Stair of Oakcllffe; qui te young, traveling t o London—burned beyond recognit ion," were tho phrases tha t even in t he horror and darkness ofthe tunnel were heard.

Then the torches were carried further doiyn the line, the men passed on, and the real Lady Stair, whom every one believed dead, was left lying close to the wall.

w af-by Secretary Lamar, says

"I am of the opinion that the claim la not well founded, yet if it ah* uld appear on u careful examination ot the facts that such a claim does exist it will be th« duty of the eovernraent to make proper com­pensation to the Indians. 1 do not think nearly 10,000,000 acres of valuable landa, on which a great number of settlers are now ioctted, should be withheld from the operations of the homestenl and the pre­emption !aws because a question has I een raised whether the small band of Indiana, not exceeding three hundred, have a claim on thi> lnnd or not. It is not i o itented bv any one that the govern­ment has recognized this claim of the In­dians by tr«atv with them.and the Indians make no use of the land except to roam over it, not cultivating, I think, any o' i t ."

The vast tract of land now open to set­tlement possesses natural advantages un-surp is-ed by any ottier part of Dakota. Its lands are exceedingly fertile, affording the choicest pasturage tind p olncing wheat of the finest quality, and rivaling that of the famous Saskatchewan country. There is an abundance of wood olon^r the streams, providing cheap lumber as well a- fuel for the early settler-;. The exten­sive coal depo its of the Turtle mountains and in the Mouse river valley insure eneap fuel lor the future, and invite man­ufacturing industries.

The removal of all barriers to the settle­ment and development of the country will hasten the completion and extension of the Bundo. Bottiteau, and other projected branches of the Manitoba railroad com­pany. With its free lands, wealth and diversity of natural re-ources, ;md present and prospective facilities for reaching th« primary ma ike ts, we know of no rerion offering g.> many inducements to intend­ing emigrants.
