THE POLITICAL FUTTTBU-
On the 36th day of May there was read at the Michigan University" a paper on "The Western Man" which said among other things that the real Western man has become a thing of the past, and as he has now become stationary, the question is what will be the result of this absolute halt of our restless Western character. What sort of a civilization will be produced. The elements are so complex that the forcast of it must be purely speculation.
The situation has been so suddenly created that we scarcely yet apprehend its novel features. There is ample food for speculation on the future of the Western man, and at best we can but look upon the mingling of races, traditions, religious and varied civilizations, with awe. That which we see here is not new in the world nor has it always resulted in progress, some of the most stagnant communities in the Orient are the least homogeneous but it is unique in this, that the field of operation is fresh, that the meeting elements represent the youth and adventure of many people, the restless spirit of aspi ration, of dissatisfation with the present of willingness to cut loose from the past and the moving energy of the whole is the Teutonic passion for acquisition and achievement. This is the motive for pro gress. The question of physical ability is settled. We hear no more of the deterioration of the Americans.
The delusion which has occasioned so much anxiety to foreign cities that the Americans would shake themselves to pieces or shrive! up in the dry air, that there could never be in this climate a robust and enduring race, has passed. The lank and parchment-skinned settler, who leaned against his cabin door, on the off days of his private earthquake, and pitied the passing emigrant, is no longer a type The subjugation of the soil to cultivation, a generation of abundance, with more or derly living and improved cooking, have produced a different type of men and wo
The lines have filled out the
eager look has given place to a more placid expression. The western man is to be large, powerful, full-blooded, filled with the confidence of supremacy, per Imps with a tendency to a too pronounced adipose superiority, Under these tremen dous physical impulses what sort of society will be formed How soon will the conventionalities of the old world overtake it, and how will theyafiect it How far will it represent merely material prosperities. Will it be what other societies have been, with much wealth and the temptations of leisure, with the added breadth and freedom of the new condition. We think it cannot be a reproduction of any other Will it be better or worse
This depends upon two things—educa-
produce a social status beyond the pale of our ordinary civilization." Now, tlieques tion is, in the midst of these conditions what will bo the future political status of this Western man. He was born and brod with ideas of government peculiar to the West. His only luxury is a night of quiet sleep, and yet we know from the census that in the near future the govrn montal power will be transplanted from the East to the West this in the nature of things, must be the result of our wonderful We&tern emigration, and just in what manner this growing power will be developed politically we are unable to say, but from the fact thht labor is the fundamental principle of this Western emigration we can soe that the future of Republican power is bright and glorious.
5 TIIK speech of W. W. Curry at the Wigwam, on last Saturday night, was the occasion of a magnificent ovation from our Citizens. Mr. Curry is an old wheel horse I Now that Dr. Tanner has shown that in the ranks of Republicanism, and we he could fast forty days, and his case has 8tate when he purchased the l:\ndorlot can say to our readers that a careful per- been ope of considerable interest, many usal of his speech, which we publish else- medical gentlemen have commented on where, will demonstrate, end satisfy you his experiment, among whom is Dr. .Lan-
Ws will finish morrow's issue.
... lots, and other parties interested in tuxtion and religion—or rather upon the re- sales should note the following from the suit of a diffused education which will revised statutes of 1879:
Practioner, A
ders Brunton, editor of the who says: If the data are not ccrtaiu. the ex pcriment is of very little scientific value. We have had many cases purporting to be cases, which in the end were founa to be impositions. The scientific value is lessened by the uncertainty of the conditions. ft has been found before now that people can live a very long time without food. If Dr. Tanner had succeeded under proper conditions, the experiment would have been of interest, though it would have added nothiug to what was kuown before. It would only substantiate what was previously known, viz: that persons may live over forty days with nothing but water. There are several instances on record. I do not know, however, that there are any in which we find a man doing without food, and at the same time doing considerable work, as Dr. Tanner appears to have been doing, but, as I said before, the scientific value is much lessened by the uncertainty of the data. If these may be relied on, the experiment is only of interest as showing not only that a man may go without food a ccrtain time, but also that he may do work in that state by using the store of nutriment in the body. Heis living on his reserve stock of vitality, just as the camel will go without food many days. But the humpidisappears. When the camel is in gooi condition the hump is full and fleshv. after starving it becomes thin and flaccid The experiment is of interest as in the same connection the long walks of Weston and the long swim of Webb were of interest No one would have believed these feats could have been done until thev had been performed, and it is a just question whether it does not point to the kind of physique that is g^iag to be the nhvsiqtie of the future. As the struggle tor existence among men become harder the successful man will be the man who is able to do the most work on the least food. He will be, in fact, the cheapest machine. There are great variations in the amount of work that men will do on the same amount of food, just as there arc variations in t|*e amount of work which different makes of steam engines will do on the same amount of fuel. {,
Cnrry's speech in

The Skating Party.
I shall never forget that beautiful moonlight evening when a party of yoong people had a wild frolic in skating on M^imebunk pond in H,a town in Vermont
Squire Jenkins, the principal man Of the little village, had three childrenAda, a lovely daughter of about 20 years, Lillian, aged 14, and Harry, a son of 12 years, who was blind. The misfortune of the child was very sad, yet, as he was of such sunny temper, and so gentle and kind, he was a universal favorite with all who became acquainted with him. He shared the sports of his playmates as far as possible, and when a skating party was formed, blind Harry went with the rest, drawn on a light sled by two of the swiftest skaters among the boys.
It is said that the blind have an acute sense of hearing and touch that others do not possess, and many facts seem to yrove this tlieorv correct.
The evening nad passed very pleasantly with the skaters, until a challenge was given by a few to reach a certain point first—Harry's champions giving the lead, for on no condition would th«y leave him behind. Harry shared the excitement, and shouted and was eager lo gain the desired point.
I forgot to tell you that the poor boy was not always blind. Two years before scarlet fever had left him as he was now. whether it would be a permanent^ affliction was not fully decided, yet it was feared to be the case. Of course Harry knew every spot, and felt through the kindness of Ins mates, an eager interest as if almost lie could join in every game as of yore.
It had been much warmer for several day8,yetthe ice was thought to be safe and thick. The contestants had nearly reached thefarthest side when Harry, by quick intuition, felt the ice crack and give beneath him, and felt a dampness strike his cheek. Instantly he gave a quick cry of alarm, and the next moment there was a crash, a scream, and Josiah Bentley, one of the boys drawing him, broke through a thin crust, going straight into an air hole and submerged his companion. The sled partially settled against the broken edges, and held, while Harry, firmly grasping his seat, bent carefully forward and plunged his hand into the icy current, catching hold of the sinking boy, who called frantically for help.
Rescue was at hand, but it was a work of great difficulty and danger, as the thin ice would bear but little weight. One of the lads, Paul Reed, saved himself by catching hold of the sled and, drawing himself out. The other, "Si" Bentley, was held up by blind Harry until help arrived.
It was a narrow escape from death, yet no life was lost. They must have been drowned had it not been for Harry and his sled. When the party went quickly and soberly back to the house they haa left so full of glee an hour before, and gathered around the table whereon a warm supper was provided, do you wonder that tears minted with tne smiles as they gazed upon the three boys who so nearly found a watery grave?
The Law In Regard to Tax Sales. All delinquents, purchasers of lands o:
§216. Hereafter no purchaser or assignee of such purchaser, of any laud, town or city lot, at any sale of lauds, or lots, for taxes or special assessments, due either to the state or countynor incorporated town or city within the same, or at any sale for taxes or levies otherwise by the laws of this state, shall be entitled to a deed for lands or lots so

Provided, however, that if the owners of suid laud or lot, or the parties interested therein, can not be found in the county, and the person in actual .occupancy is tenant to, or is in possession under the owner or party interested therein, then service of said notice upon such te nan oroccupant shall be deemed service upon owner or party interested and provided, further, that if the owners or parties interested are unknown to such purchaser or his assignee, then the said publication, as to them, may be to the unknown owner or parties interested.
Approved May 31st, 1879.
Nothing bespeaks a true lady and gentleman or well-bred child more than the ose of correct language: pure, dean apeech. CnltivRtegood Englisli^in everyday conversation. Unclean speech ia in keeping with a smntty face, begrimed hands and soiled clothes. Strange how easily and almost unconsciously one slides Into a careless, slipshod way of talking, even when the rules of grammar are quite fafciiiiar. It is not uncommon to find pc«ple learned in all the rules of .syntax who apply them to the art of writing, yet habitually talk incorrectly.
Cheerfulness is just as natural to the heart of a man in strong health as color to hi* cheek and wherever there is habitual gteorn there most be either bad air, snti holeHome food, improperly severe labor, or erring habits of life.—ihaiin.
