Monday afternoon the survivors of the 16th Michigan V olunteer Infanjry began to assemble at P lym outh for the ir 16th annual reunion on Tuesday, and at nopn Tuesd y, about fifty of the coiprades with the ir wives had arrived here.- The busi ness sess on was to have commenced at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning, but owing to the fact tha t some of thg comrades, in ­cluding Secretary Apted, w ould ‘not a - rive iuntil the noon train, an adjourn ment was taken until 2 o’clock, p rom pt­ly at 2 o’clock they assembled in the G. A. R. hall.

President Mepzo Swart called the meeting to order iu a’neat address, thank-

his comrades for th e honor conferred on him as president of the association.

Secretary Apted read the proceedings of the session held at Ann Arbor 1: 9 year which was full and accurate, and' adopted with complete satisfaction.

T he treasurer then read liis report which was adopted and ordered filed. . !

The secretary reported net having ac­complished any headway in the matter! of removing the stone wall on Little Round Top. He also reported upon the matter of military history of members. IJe said no assistance could be obtained through the adjutant general, though free access to* records was cheerfully offered to any one who could spare the’ tim e to examine them. The secretary also called attei - tion to the difficulties m et with in mak­ing, a correct roster. The failure was diio to the fact tha t he comrades did not 'res­pond when called upon.

Comrade Graham moved a vole of thanks to the secretary for the efficient and painstaking interest manifested iu the ass< elation.

A memorial of Comrade H ill was read referring to tablet of Col. W elch in the monument on Little Round Top.

The following resolutions' were then offered: yr

W iiEREA S, the roster o f the lo th Mich igan Volunteer Infantry Association is again decimated by the call $f tha t fell -ergent, death,’’ mustering froni the ranks of the living, forever our bfeloved com­rades, J . C. Morrison, Gottlieb Glasser. Jefferson N. Davik, John Lyons, A. C. Bliss, Basiel McDonald; John Amelia, Archie W ilkie, Andrew Williams. Owen Winn, Martin Heath, Heinry Rood, Wil. liam Arnett, Joseph J . Totten, Jacob Lyon; therefore be it i.

R esolved, tha t this association, in re» union assembled October 23th, 1893. while expressing its sorrow, desires to pay a deserved, tribute to the loyalty and patriotism of tfiese departed comrades, in m aintaining upon the battlefield, the hon­or of the flag and the supremacy of the republic in its tim e of danger. Living, they contributed to the welfare of the na­tion and to the glor* of the state ol which they were citizens; dying; th e ir names are immortal. As they lived in honor, so may they rest in peace.

R esolved, th a t this association extend its sympathy vo the bereaved families oi our old comrades, and tha t a copy of this resolution be preserved in the archfves of th e regimental association.

EDWARD HILL Chairman Memorial Committee.

Comrade Cameron moved that a.ropy of the resolutions be sent to each family represented by members referred to iq. resolutions^which was carried. -1 • ] r

Col. Dean entered and. being called up

on; made a few rem arks in his usual hap­py vein, and was followed by Dr. Breakey i i the same humorous spirit. Comrades Graham and Jack lin were appointed a committee to escort the ladies’ auxiliary to the hall. 1 A fter the ladies entered, Comrade Jacklih explained the ir experi­ence in escorting the ladies to the hall. Report was accepted and committee ‘‘fired.”

Comrade G raham then; arose and iu a masterly speech presented Seeretary Ap­ted with a testimonial and an elegant charm as a recognition qf his valuable services and a tribu te to ithe devotion o f . the esteemed Comrade Apted, who has so acceptaLly discharged the duties of sec rotary aud treasurer of the association f t the past tliree years. ’Comrade Apted feelingly’ replied, expressing his appre­ciation c-f the action of histeomrades.

Comrade Graham jnomi ated Theodoie lloeuinghuusen, of foetroifc,'fur president. Comrade K e"t uonjunated John North- wood for president. Comrade Iloening- hauseu was unanimously chosen by a ris­ing vote. ’Comrade Northivood was elec- *d vice-president by the-'jsame method.]

The president given the privilege ot selecting his own secretary and he at once selected Secretary Apted to succeed himself. C mirage Northwood invited the association to meet at th.<? soldiers’ home, Grand Rapid-, for the ir reunion in '96, which was unanimously accepted.

Tne executive committee was then se­lected as follows: Comrade Kent, chair-J man; Comrades J W. Bigelow and John Northwood.

Comrade Weeks nominated W. F. M arkham as an honorary member and on motion the nomination was carried.

'• omrade Geo-. Peterhans invited the association to vjgit the grave'of their de­parted associate,. Captain Roe, which was accepted and the grave visited, under command of Major Jacklim

Comrade Graham r> ad a very interest­ing paper on Cuba and its struggles for liberty .; A vote ot thanks was tendered Cfipt. SQralwnrfor the paper, and the sym­pathies of the association Kvero extended0 thefpatriots of Cuba.

MYs. Keeler -made a few pleasant re­marks in response to a o$ul, as did Mrs BoiLjiitt, Mrs. Jack lin and 'M ajor Jacklin. Comrade HooninghnuseiJ moved that greeting tie sent to Col. lllill, which was carried. The association then -adjourned.

For some tim e prior to the memorable' Tuesday, the citizens of Plymouth have be?n almost a unit in the ir efforts to m ike the sixteenth reunion the best the survivors of the old 16tli [Michigan ever amended, \yhijle praise is due in every cise, special praise is due pr.iC ollier, W. F. Markham and Dr. Peljliam for their efforts', in securing fundi and making preparations. n$> -their labjors in tha t di­rection were very pronounced.

Very neat invitations were sent out f rr the occasion, a l were the programs and menu cards furnished by T iie . Ma il for the banquet, as was evidenced by the many flattering r marks concerning them. . »,T h e Committee m ule arrangements with the W. 11. C. and the L. A. S. of the

furnish the banquet for |)ut they made no mis-

proven when the 950 guests assembled at the village hall Tues- d iy evening to fiiid the [hall profusely decorated with flags audiClii ese lanterns. Monday and Tuesday the ladies, w ith the assistance of smnje of the j gentlem en la­bored very hard arranging and beautify­ing the tables, and their efforts were re ­paid by the elaborate display and Ithe fluttering*comments made) by the assem b y . ! . - .

In addition to^iother fliigs, loaned by Mrs: T. C. SheYwjood and I Mabley & Co., were hung two" qf the tattered, and torn: 16th regimental flags. This is the first time tljat th- so flags were present at a1 eunfpfi->aud wCYe secured by Commander MVR. Weyks liv in g a b ind of $500 for t ieir safety. Potted plants and flowers adorneil the fr^nt of the sjiage which pre- svuted at very neat appearance. Pictures

.of M artha Washington, George W ashing ton. Grautj Liujcolu and prominent gener als hung on the walls. The tables, eight great Jong ones, were adorned with pi­ano lamps with beautiful crepe shades. Silverware, predominated.] Every knife, fork, spoon, cake dish 'andithe like.was ol silver. Liuen napkins jvere placed at each pi te, which was ve’fty thoughtful of the ladies, in preference tq the paper nap-1: kins so often ufced on such, occasions.

To do justice' in expressing the style and taste manifested in serving up the bill of fare one would hav4 to h .ve a flow of language, c^ual to a Webster. Very few banquets could surpass it. W hile the large assembly did ample justice to t ie good thinge, still “there was millions 1 ft,” so to speak.

One vt*ry particular tli ng was notica. ble that is too often neglected at banquets aud that was the efficiency of the waiters. Mrs. T. C. tSberwood had ner corps of la­dy and geiit waiters well instructed as to' their duties and their pla< es, and not one jar was noticed. , Certain y the waiter!

Thou shalt not be by me.Go, sin no more,” the s inner's F riend

“Can such as I,” the poor th ief cried,As on the cross he hung,

"Forgiveness find? W ith thee abide! And hear thy praises sung?”

Today w ith me in heaven be," F orgiv ing Love replied,

And there, th rough all etern ity ,Thou sh a lt w ith me reside.” -

And thus d4d I, w ith falling tear,K neel down a t Jesus’ feet;

And there, o’erw helm ed with, doub t and fear,

I heard these words so sweet;“ I w ant thy love. W hate’e r betide v

Thy h ea rt my own should be.” . Dear Lord, I w ill in thee confide,I give m yself to thee.”

Asceticism is not re ­ligion; nor is relig ion asceticism ; Men have though t so in th e past, b u t in te l­ligen t readers of God’s word know th a t salvation is not conditional on physical penance, or personal isolation, or self- imposed suffering of any k ind . I t is .de­nying the efficacy of C hrist’s atofne- m ent to offer the sacrifices qf -an an ­chorite or the lash ings of a flagellant, e ith e r as the price of pardon or of in ­creased holiness. H ere and th^re a g rea t heroic soul, made for some g reat ser­vice, m ay renounce those th ings th a t a llev iate .the hardness of life th a t o thers may be helped, b u t such renunciation is not required of th e m ultitude.

Christian Perfection.“Be ye perfect, as y o u r , heavenly

father is perfect."A C hristian ’s duty is to seek after

perfection, w hich m ay only b« attained by continual and p atien t striv ing to do the w ill of God.\ The sp ir it of the qge isk indifference, both in th ings m oral and sp iritu a l; e ither a m an ignores C h ristian ity a l­together, or he becomes so lukew arm th a t he eventually degenerates into atheism .1 Then, again, the re-is so much strife; between the num erous sect3, and so lit-j tie charity displayed am ong the vari­ous religious bodies th a t wp look ini ,vain for the tru e guiding sp ir it and fail to realize th a t Jesus C hrist is the ir model.'. Yet th is is far from the origina.1 in ­ten tion of the Redeemer who, when He was in the world, continually preached the doctrine of peace and love, and whose every action displayed the sweetness of tru e fra ternal char­ity. The gospels breathe w ith th e love ‘of Jesus C h ris t and tell of the won­drous sw eetness of H is life and work an d H is g rea t desire for peace. In fact, He insists so m uch upon th is sp ir­i t of pea'ce being practiced, in H is church, th a t He is compelled to rebuke the apostles who contended among tbemiselves who would be .file greatest in the kingdom of heaven, and told Ithem th a t he th a t is grea test among you shaH be your servant, thus instill­ing into th e ir hearts the g rea t p rin ­cip le of H is religion.

T he tru e secret of C hristian perfec­tion is hum ility ; i t is the .cardinal v ir­tue ; on it. depends all our hope and through it alone can we expect to re­ceive the grace to become perfect Christians. “He th a t hum bleth him ­self shall be exalted,” says Jesus Christ, and th is m axim is the keynote .of a C hristian ’s life, for by practicing [this noble v irtue all other v irtues flow natu ra lly and as a m a tte r of course into the soul, as God despises the proud h ea rt and giveth H is grace to the humble.

The pure mind carries- heaven w ithin itself, and. m anifests th a t heav­en to all around."—Channing.

The Reality of God.“To doubt the reality of God’s h ea r­

ing prayer is like the raw apprentice d o u s in g the power of the chisel to evolve beauty ou t of the m arble, or the young m usician doubting the effective­ness of th e harp because his unskilled fingers cannot woo sweet harm onies from its s trings. The laws of prayer are as reliable as the m ultiplication table or the principle of gravitation . 'Yb ask and receive not, because ye ask am iss.’ ”—Spurgeon.

IT’S INJURIOUS TO STOP SUDDENLYand don’t be imposed upon ty buying a remedy that requires you toido so, sj it is nothing more than a substitute. In the sadden stoppage of to­bacco you1 must have some stimulant, and in most all cases, the effect of the itimulant, be it opium, morphine, or other opiateo, leaves a. far worse

“No. ..ma’am,- I can’t do th a t.” He pursed up his lips and shook his griz­zled head.

“And why no t?”“A gainst my principles, m a’am .”“B ut w hy?” I 1“Because w oman has her duties and

“T h a t Is- One of the few professions which cannot be im proved.” said Mrs. V estrpaco tt. w ith h er,sw ee te st smile. "Poor .woman m ust still look to m an for protection."

“I don’t like these new -fangled ideas, m a'am . ‘ I tell you honestly th a t 1 don’t. I like discipline, and I think every one is b e tte r for It. W omen have got a gbeat deal which they had not in the days of our fathers. They have universities all for themselves, I am tol'fi, and there are women doctors. I hear. Purely they should res t content­ed. W hat jnore can they w ant?"

You a re ,a sailor, qnd sailors are a l­w ays chivalrous. I f you could see how things really are. you would change your opinion. W hat are the poor th ings to do? There a re so m any of them and 50 few things to whiqh they can tu rn the ir hands. G overnesses? B ut there are hard ly any situa tions. Music and draw ing? There is not one in fifty who h.as any special ta len t in th a t direction. Medicine? I t is still surrounded w ith difficulties for women, and it takes m any years and a sm all fo rtune to qualify. N ursing? I t is hard w ork ill paid, and none but the strongest ca r stand it. W hat would you havtf them do then. A dm iral? S it down and s ta rv e ?”

“T ut, tut! I t Is not so bad as th a t.” “The pressure is terrible. A dvertise

for a lady companion a t ten shillings a week, w hich Is less th a n .a cook's wage, and see how m any answer* you get. There is no hope, no outlook, for these strugg ling thousands. Life is a dull, sordid struggle, leading down to a cheerless old age. Yet when w e try to bring some little ray of hope. , some chance, however d istan t, of som ething better, we a re told by chivalrous gen­tlemen th a t It is aga in st the ir princi­ples to help.”

The A dm iral winced, but shook h!s head in dissent. *

“There is banking, the law. v e te r in ­a ry surgery, governm ent offices, the civil service, all these a t least should be throw n freely open to women, if. they have brains enough to compete successfully fo r them. T hen if w oman were unsuccessful It would be her own fault, and the m ajo rity of the popula­tion of th is country could no longqj C0T*plaln th a t they live-bunder a [differ­ent law to the minority, and thajt they are held down in poverty and serfdom, w ith every road to Independence sealed to them .” . r

“W hat would you propose to do, m a 'am ?”

“To set the more obvious .injustices right, ant} so to pave the w ay for a re­form. Now look a t th a t m an digging in the fiel(l. I know him. He can neither read nor w rite , he is steeped in whisky, and hb^has as m uch intelli­gence as the potatoes that- he is dig­ging. Yet the hum has a vote, can pos­sibly tu rn the scale of an election, and m ay help to decide the policy of this empire. Now, to take, the n ea re st,ex ­am ple, here am I. a woman, who have had some education, who have traveled, and who have seen and studied the in­stitu tions of m any countries. I hold considerable property, and I pay more in im perial taxes than th a t m an spends in whisky, which)is saying a g rea t deal, and yet I have no m ore d irect influence upon th e disposal of the money which I pay than the fly which creeps along the wall. IS th a t r igh t? Is it fa ir?”

The A dm iral moved uneasily in his .chair. “Yours is an exceptional case,” said he.

“B ut no w oman has a voice. Consider th a t the women are a m ajo rity in .the nation . Yet if there w as a question of legislation upon which' all women were agreed upon one side aad all the men u p « i the other, it would appear th a t the m a tte r w as settled unanim ously w hen more th a n half the population w ere opposed to it. Is th a t r ig h t? ’,’

w ith an evil word in his th roa t. “There, there, m a’am ,’-’ he cried. “Drop i t for a time. I have heard enough. You’ve turned me a point or two. I won’t deny It. B ut Iet.it s tand a t th a t. I will th ink •it over.”

“Certainly, Admiral. W e would not h u rry you In your decieion. B u t we still hope to see you on ou r p la tfo rm .” She rose and moved abou t In her loung­ing m asculine fashion, from one picture to another, for the w alls w ere thickly covered w ith rem iniscences of the A d­miral's? voyages.

“HuIIp!” said she. “Surely th is ship would .have furled all her lower canvas and reefed her topsails if she found hep- self on a lee shore w ith the wind on her qu arte r.”

”Of course she would. The a r tis t was never past Gravesend, I swear. I t 's the Penelope as she w as on the 14th of June, 1857, In the th ro a t of the S tra its o f Banca, w ith th e Island of Banca on the starboard bow, and S um atra on the port. He pain ted it from description, but, of course, as you very sensibly say, all w as snug below and ' she carried storm sa ils, and double-reefed topsails, for it w as blowing a cyclone from the sou’east. I com plim ent you, m a'am , I do indeed!”

“Oh, I have done a little sailoring m yself—as m uch as a w om an can a s ­pire to, you know. This is the B ay of Funchal. W hat a lovely fr ig a te !”

"•Lovely, you say! Ah. she w as love­ly !-T h a i i s the Andromeda. I w as a m ate aboard of her—sub-lieu tenant they* call i t now, though I like the old nam e best.”

“W hat a lovely rake her m asts have, and w hat a curve to her bows! She m ust have been a clipper."

The o ld 'sa ilo r rubbed h is hands and his eyes glistened. H is old ships bor­dered close upon his wife and his son in his affections.

"J. know Funchal,” said th e lady care­lessly. "A couple of years ago I had a seven-ton cutter-rigged yacht, the B an­shee. and we ran over to M aderia from F alm outh.", (

“You, m a'am , in a*, ieven -tonner?”“ With a couple^of Cornish lads for a

crew. Oh, It wasfjglorious! A fo rtn igh t r igh t out in the i|pen, w ith no w orries, no le tte rs, no callers, no petty thoughts, nothing but the g rea t silent sky.. They ta lk of riding, indeed, I am fond of horses, too, but w ha t is there to com­pare w ith 'th e swoop of a ” little c ra ft as she pitches down the long steep side of a wave, ^nd then the quiver and spring as she is tossed upw ards again? Oh, if our. souls could tran sm ig ra te I ’d be a seamew above all birds th a t fly! B u t I keep you, Admiral. Adieu!”-,

The old sailor w as too transported w ith sym pathy to say a word. H e could only shake her broad m uscular hand. She w as half .way down the garden path before she heard him calling her, and saw his grizzled head and w eather- s tained face looking out from behind the curtains.

“You m ay p u t me down for the p la t­form ," he cried, and vanished abashed behind the cu rta in of his Times, where his wife found him a t lunch time.

“I hea r th a t ’you have had quite a long cha t w ith Mrs. W estm acott,” said she.

“Yes, and I th ink th a t she is one of the m ost sensible women th a t I ever knew.”

“Except on the w om an's righ ts ques­tion, of course.”

“Oh, I don 't know. She had .a good deal to say for herself on th a t also. In fact, mother.^ I have taken a platform ticket for her m eeting.”

CH A PTER VI.AN OLD STORY.

UT TH IS w as not |to be the only, event- ,f u 1 conversation which Mrs.- W est- m ac^tt herd th a t day, nor w as the A dmiral the only person in the W ild­erness who w as des­tined to find his opinions consider­ably! chalnged. Two neighboring fam il­

ies.' th e ' W inslows from Anerley, and the Cum berbatches from Gipsy Hill, had been invited to tennis by Mrs. W estm acott, and the law n w as gay*'in the evening w ith the blazers of the young men and the b righ t dresses of the girls. To the older peoplj?, sitting round in th e ir . w icker-work garden chairs, the darting , stooping, springing w hite figures, the sweep of sk irts and tw inkle of canvas shoes,the click of the rackets and sharp whiz of the balls, w ith the continual “fifteen love—fifteen all!” of the .m arker, m ade up a m erry and exhilarating scese. To see the ir sons and daugh ters so flushed and healthy and happy gave them also a reflected glow, and It w as hard to say .who had m ost pleasure from the game, those who played or those who w atched.

Mrs. W estm acott had ju s t finished a se t when she caugh t a glimpse of C lara W alker sitting; alone a t th e fa r th e r end of the ground.’Sh.e ran down the court, cleared the net to the am azem ent of the ‘visitors, and seated herself beside, her. C ia ra 's reserved and refined natu re Bhrtink from the boisterous frankness and s trange m anners of the widow, and yet her fem inine instinct told her th ^ t beneath all h e r peculiarities there law m uch th a t w as good and noble. She smiled dp a t her, therefore, and nodd­ed a greeting.

“W hy a ren ’t you playing, then? Don’t for goodness sake; begin to be languid and young ladylsb. W hen you give up active sports you, give up youth .”

“I have played a set; Mrs. W estm a­cott.” j

“T h a t's right, my d e a r .” S he sa t d o V n beside htfr, and ta p p e d h e r xipon th e arm w ith h e r te n n is ra c k e t. “ I lik e you, m y d e a r, a n d I am g o in g to ca ll yout C lara. Y ou a re n o t a s a g g re s s iv e a s I sh o u ld w ish , C la ra , b u t s til l I lik e y o u v e ry m uch .

. i , . . . • ,

W ha t do you th ink of my pephewjC harles?”

The question w as so sudden and un­expected th a t C lara gave quite a Jump in her chair. “ I - ; I—I hard ly ever have though t of your nephew Charles.”

“No? Oh, yc^i mu3t th ink 'h im well over, fo r I w an t to speak to you about him .”

“To m e? B ut w hy?”“I t seemed to jne m ost delicate. You

see,, C lara, the m a tte r s tands in th is way. I t is quite possible th a t I m ay soon find m yself in a com pletely new sphere of life, which will involve fresh duties a*nd m ake-it Impossible for me to keep up a household which C harles can share.”

C lara stared . Did th is m ean th a t she w as abou t to m arry aga in? W hat else ceuld it point to?

“Therefore C harles m ust have !a household of his own. T h a t is obvious. Now, I don 't approve ‘of bachelor es­tablishm ents. Do you?”

“Really, Mrs. W estm acott, I -have nevfer though t of the m a tte r.”

“Oh, you li ttle sly puss! W as there ever a girl who never thought ef the m a tte r? I th ink th a t a young m an ef six-and-tw enty ought to be marr;led."

C lara felt very uncomfortable*. The aw ful though t had come upon her tha t th is am bassadress had come to her as a proxy with a proposal of fearriage< H ut hdw could th a t be? She had not spoken more than three or four times.; •with her nephew, and knew nothing m ore of hlrri th an he had told her on the evening before. I t w as Impossible, then. And yet w ha t could his aun t m ean by th is discussion of his p riva te affairs?

“Do you not th in k yourself," she per­sisted, " th a t a young m an of six-and- tw en ty is b e tter m arried?”

" I should th ink th a t he Is old enough to decide fo r him self.”

“^*3. yes. He has done so. B u t Charles is ju s t ,a little shy, ju s t a little slew tn expressing himself. I th p u jh t th a t I would pave the w ay for him .:Two wom­en can arrange these th ings so much better. Men sometimes have a difficulty in m aking them selves clear.”

“I really hard ly follow you, Mrs. W estm acott,” cried C lara in despair.

“He has no profession. B u t hjp has nide tastes. He reads Brow ning 'every n ig h t And he is m ost am azingly strong. W hen he w as younger we used to put on the,- gloves together, but I cannot persuade him to now, fo r he says he cannot p lay ligh t enough. I should a l­low him five hundred,! which should b« enough a t first.” 1

“M y .d ea r Mrs. W estm acott.” cried C lara, *T assure you th a t I have not the least idea w ha t it is th a t you are ta lk ing of.”

“Do you th ink your sister Ida would have my nephew Charles?"

H er s is ter Ida? Q uite a little thrill of relief .and of pleasure ran through her a t the thought. Id a and Charles W estm acott. Sho had never though t of it. A nd yet they had been a good deal together. They had played .tennis. They had shared the tandem tricycle. Again came the th rill of Joy, and close a t Its heels the cold questionings of con­science. W hy th is Joy? W hat w as the

.rea l source Of it? W as it t h a t deen down, somewhere pushed back in’, the black recesses of the soul, there was the though t lurk ing t h a t . if Ghah-lea prospered in his wooing then Harold D enyer would still be free? How mean, how unm aidenly, how unsisterly the thought! She crushed it dewn and th ru s t 'I t aside, b u t still i t would push up .Its p icked little head. She errlmsoned w ith sham e a t own baseness, as she tu rned once more- to her companion.

“I really do not know,” she sail “She is not engaged?"“N ot th a t I know of.”“You speak hesitatingly .”“Because I am no t sure. B ut lie may

ask. She canno t b u t be fla tte red .1“Quite so. I tell him th a t it Is the most

practical; com plim ent which a m an can pay to a-woman. H e is a little shy, but when he sets him self to do it he will do it. He is very m uch in love w ith her, 1 assure you. These little lively people a l­w ays do a t tr a c t the slow and heavy ones, which is na tu re’s device for the neutralizing of bores. B ut they are all gqing in.

Editor PLYMoimr AI ail *,The Plymouth band and orcheotr!’ were

kind enough to donate t t e music for the banquet Tuesday evening, but the com­mittee on refreshments were not so prom; t in inviting them to sit dowu tp tho banquet. We went there like the rest w ithout our supper. Wo played out iu the cold and did o.ur best to help make it a grand success and we must say that we felt v ry m uch taken back when we were told tliat there was no room for us at the banquet. We trust tha t in future at such occasions provision will be made for all those who furnish the evening's entertainment aud not for ju s t a few. We do not desire to complain, but ask how auy of your readers would feel if treated in a like manner. The band aud orches­tra are sustained for the benefit of our village, and Plymouth may always count on us dk>ing our slmire, and we only ask m return respectable treatment;

We have beard it said more than once that if the council did no t force the col­lection of poll tax w here a man is per­fectly able to pay, they would not pay theirs another year. W e believe we are right in- assuring all tha t pay the ir poll tax, tha t the council will make examples of those who refuse to pay this year. Ti e new law is so clear tha t it leaves no possible loop holes for to get through. I t must be paid like any other tax.

In reply to a le tter sent attorney gen­eral .Maynard we received the fo’lowing:

Lansing, Oct. 23,1895.Hr. M. P. Gray,

Plymouth, Mich.My dear Sir:

In answer to yours of the 22d inst. I will state tha t sec. 3 of chap. 9 of act N? • 3 of the Laws of 1895, reads as follows:

“The council shall have power to levy and cause to be collected, in each year, h poll-tax of one dollar upon every male inhabitant of the village between the ages of twenty-one and fifty years, excepting active members of the lire department, ,nd such other persons as are exempted

by general law from the paym ent of such tax. All moneys co lected by virtue of this section shall be paid into the general highway lund ,” which you will readily see confers the power upon th e village council to-levy and collect a poll-tax.

Yours respectfully,FRED A. MAYNARD

Attorney-General.We might go on and argue the mattel

at considerable length. But there it is in a nut shall. The council has th e pow er to levy the tax, and it lias the power to collect it. There Is no excuse for “ lettfeg”

It* i"itf,1’ except inability to ,p;jy it. It; is therefore- the duty of the council td use all men alike and force the collection of every dollar of poll-tax, w liitji is-simply justice to the willing parties.

KFV1K\Y OF TRADE.

Dun's says: Two weeks ago gold export* .seemed very near. But the bfealt in cotton which then began, ripened into a.collap'ie suffi­cient to justify hooe of a free moVement. Hides have ;al.so dropped sharply.-leather is weaker, and the ad.ustmentof prices to! real instead of Imaginary conditions progresses. .Already the lower prices of iron have brought.out some Im­portant contraats. Money markets cause re­markably little trouble. Cooler weather bus generally helped retail trade and with increased consumption b.v the millions the way will be clear, for belter business. Already payments through clearing houses closely approach for October those of the best year in history, though reflecting in part past transactions, and new orders are still much needed by the great industries. 1 Cotton exportW iimprove but little i.-ecausp’toreign stocks are so large and the lower pfijees give more jcourtdence to mills which reared to purchase and manufacture <y whea decllneVas reasonably expected. Wheats has ffsen. but small exports show plainly a slack demand from abroad. Nobody can give a . reason for higher corn, and pork declines with-’ out reason. Textile maniitactuyers have for the moment been disturbed rather than helped by the decline in cotton, because it checks buy­ing of Bome. fabrics with lower prices. The de­mand for worsteds and dress goods Is encour­aging while in woolen gopds the situation does aot Improve.

A Com mon Enough Story Portrays a Pathetic Moral. .

"Not. long ago I m et a young lady in poverty whom I had previously known in w ealth , and th is was, In substance, th e sto ry she to ld me: “F a th e r *died suddenly In W ashington, and the pro­

fe s s io n a l sk ill through which he had coined money for us died w ith him.] I

. am no t weeping because we are pooir. I am broken-hearted because none j>f u s saw th a t he w as dying. W as i t not p itifu l th a t he should th in k i t best not to te ll any of us th a t he was sick?

E n g la n d several years before, hoping to better h is hea lth arid h is fortunes on a sheep ranch , b u t ill-fo rtune had seemed to follow him , though for the first season he had prospered.

“SH E LIV ES!” H E CRIED, object in the long, w ide stretch of coun­try held h is atten tion .

F rom the w estern end of the h u t was som ething suspended about h a lf way up its height. I t m igh t be, as his fa­th e r had said, m erely a w orth less bun­dle of no in terest, b u t he could not drive the belief from b is m ind th a t it was possessed of life. rH e fancied that, he saw i t move, and once, as he gazed th rough the glass, he was alm ost cer­ta in tfia t a w hite im ploring face had been b rough t close to h is own. This h au n tin g vision w as constan tly before h im a s ’ he and his fa th er w ent into camp -on the bank of a beau tifu l s tream , and the tired horaes clipped w ith -keen re lish the lo n g fsw ee t grass carpeting th e valley.

F ind ing he could n o t swerve his fa­th e r from his unbelief, he tried to for­g et a ll abou t it; and an hour la te r both of them had la in down under the ir b lankets for a n ig h t’s sleep.

I t m ust have been near m idnight w hen H arry awoke w ith a s ta r t in the m idst of a dream th a t caused h im to sp ring to his feet w ith a low cry of te r ­ro r. He though t he had been to the old hu t, to find the re a little g irl suffering un to ld agony from being hung by a rope from the m iserable abode, while a dozen fie ld s in hum an shape danced about her.

H is fa ther w as fas t asleep, w hile |the horses, having ea ten th e ir fill of th e grass, stood qu ie tly nodding a sho rt d istance away. The very silence of th e lonely scene m ade h is dream stand o u t m ore rea l and terrify ing . U nable to sleep, h e w alked down to the side of h is ho rse ,'and alm ost before he knew it he w as p u ttin g the saddle on its back.

“I t w on 't tafie long to ride over th e re ,” he thought, “and I w ill be back before fa th er wakes. I f I keep a, sharp lookout no h arm can arise from my Lrifcx. I t would be so satisfy ing to know t h i tru th .”

B eing carefu l to fix th e d irection In Jxiir m ind, H a rry rode s ilen tly on his lo n e ly journey, w hich, h ad h e dream ed w as going to prove so long, he would never have ventured to undertake.

T he day w as b reak ing as a t la s t ho ascended th e ran g e w here h e fe l t con­fident h e should find th e M exican’s h u t. H e .w as n o t d isappoin ted^ for a t th e edge of th e fo res t he whs gladdened by. th e s ig h t o l the hom ely bujlding. F rom h is position he could n o r see th e ob­je c t w hich had caused h im to under­take w hat he w as ready now to be­lieve w as a foolhardy journey. No doubt^ it had beep some illu sion of th e gaze, and he was tem pted to s ta r t back to find h is fa th e r y i th o u t clim bing -to the U p off the ridge, w hich w as steeper th a n he p a d though t from th e dis­tance. p

No! Hp would know the w hole tru lh a fte r com ing so far, a n d / resolved to move w ith extrem e caution , he le f t h is bbrse under co^er of th e grow th and approached the p lace on fo o t

There w as no moon, b u t in the clear s ta r lig h t he could see 'n o signs of life abou t th e so lita ry hu t, .which looked

. a s if i t h ad been deserfed for years. ■One spark of hope s till burned in h is fh e a r t H e had n o t got in a position yet to §pe the w est end of the h u t, and i t w as fbere.lhe fancied he had seen the helpless child. *

W ith h igh-beating h e a rt he ad ­vanced, obliged to pass around huge bow lders th a t ever and anon disputed h is way. W hat a ba rren place for a

ihome, though a fe rtile valley lay no m ore than half a m ile d is ta n t on the o ther side.

As H arry came around on the upper side of a pile of rocks, he ab rup tly found him self in p la in sighkbf the hu t, and—a w ild cry left h is Ups as h e saw the object he had come so fa r to see!

I t did not need a1 second look for h im to discover th a t i t 'w a s a hum an being —a li ttle g irl not over fou r years of age, hang ing th e re in m id-air like a

: lifeless th ing! A rope was fastened around her sligh t w aist, th e o ther end pecured a t the top of the ro o t

“She is dead!” he exclaim ed, b u t he had scarcely u ttered the exclam ation w hen a low, piteous^w ail was borne to h is ea rs on still* n ig h t air.

“She lives!” he cried, and regardless of the danger h ^ m igh t be runn ing into, he dashed sw iftly up the ascent, not to stop u n til he wao under and w ith in reach of the sw aying figure.

Another, m oan of d istress came from the helpless little one, as w ith on* stroke of his kn ife he severed the rope suspending her in th e air. The next m om ent she lay4 perfectly motionless upon th e ground, w ith h im . bending over her.

"Poor th ing , she is nearly dead fromfrig h t and hunger. I wondei^who-----Oh, fa ther, i t is A lic^—ou r Alice!”

About th a t tim e the large blue eyes slowly opened, to look s tra ig h t into those <if her b ro th e r^ v h o had thus strangely found her whom he and his fa th er had supposed dead.

“ I w ish fa ther------”H arry stopped in the m idst of his

speech, for upon 1 lookfng up a t the sounds of th e hoofstrokes of a horse he saw h is fa th er r id ing tow ard the place.

“ I m issed you, and m istru sting you had come here I followed a t once. So you w ere rig h t—my God! it is Alice!”

I t is hard ly necessary to depict the joy of the reun ited ones, and. w hen the first tra n sp o rt of th e ir rejo icing had passed, fa th er and son learned th a t Alice and her m other had not been k illed as reported, b u t hatPbeen carried off tow ard th e Spanish range by th e ir captors. Upon com ihg to th is lonely h u t of the M exican, in a fit o f cold­blooded ferocity they had shot the ow ner of th e build ing and suspended th e ir young captive in the position in which sh§ had been found.

T h is could not have been accom­plished very long^before H orry had

,seen her though the glass, for she de­clared; th a t i t w as m ost n igh t a t the time. H er m other, w ith two or three others; were s till w ith the party , cap­tives.

“They would be likely to camp in the valley below here,” sa id Mr. May- burn , whose excitem ent hard ly knew bounds. "W e m ust push’ on and res­cue them . I am going to tu rn Alice over to your care, H arry .”

Though she had suffered untold agony in-»that trying position so many hours, Alice was only too glad to getj away from the place, and in less than five minutes thej^%cre moving as s i­lently as possible dfiwn the range.

Mr. M ayburn proved correc t in his predictions, and before sunrise they had no t oply overtaken the desperadoes, b u t surprised and routed them . Mrs. May­burn and two captives w ere reached unharm ed, and a more thank fu l party i t would be difficult to find. K nowing the dangers th a t s till environed them , they pushed on as rap id ly as possible to the nearest tow n„twbich they safely reached. E ven tually Mr. M ayburn and

To the ladies whose generous hands have furnished a bounti­ful and elegantly served repast; to the quartette for the inspiring rendition of lime honored songs, and all others who have pordially and hospitably contributed to our comfort and entertainm ent here we repeat the assurance of our grateful appreciat on.
