Hoa. Will Cumback. My Dear Sir—Your very generous letter of this date has given me great pleas ure, and this, not only because your action tends to advance my own interests, but because it tends to party harmony and is an evidence of your friendship. 1 have felt, from the beginning, quite sure that you.would, countenance nothing in this contest for the Senate that was pot honorable and consistent with party fealty. If the good wishes which you express for my success shall be realized, I shall gratefully remember your personal kindness to me throughout,
Very sincerely yours, Bbkj. Harrison. MX. OBTH'i LBTTBR. Mr. Orth's withdrawal was announced in a letter to 8enator Graham, which is as follows:

A lady who baa been spending the gammer at Lake Chautauqua aaya that on one of.the steamers thnt paw Fair Pdlnt, at t|ie time when the great Sab-bath-echool convention was in progress, were three women, rather gaudily dressed and wearing diamonds enough to indicate they had plenty of money. Their conversation waa earned on in a loud voice, and attracted considerable attention. In front of Fair Point stands statue of Faith. "See that piece of atat oowary." said number one. "I wonder who it is. It must be Jupiter." "No" said number two, "it looks more like Venns.' *Well,M said number three, "anyway it's one of those people in the Bible."
Victoria's Gift—A Desk with a History.
Some time ago* it was announced that the British Admiralty office, in ordering the breaking up of the historic old ship Resolute, directed that out of some of the teak of her timbers a piece of furniture should be made for presentation to the United States, in recognition of her return after being picked up at sea. This vessel was one of the fleet whioh left England in 1862 in search of Sir John Franklin, and was afterwards abandoned by her officers and crew in Baffin's Bay, and two years after was picked up at sea by Captain Buddington, of the New London whaler George and Henry. When taken possession of she had arifted 1,200 miles from the point at whieh she was abandoned, and was towed to New London. The Government paid the sailors $30,000, put the ship in complete repair, and placed on board a cnw of officers and twentyfive seamen, Captain Hortsene, of South Carolina, in command, and Lieutenant Clark H. Wells, of Pennsylvania, now Chief Signal Officer of the Navy, executive officer, with instructions to restore her to the British Government. This was done in December, 1856, the Queen in ptsrson and Prince Albert, accompanied by a number of distinguished officers ana court ladies, being present on the occasion and receiving the vessel. The desk is of most exquisite workman ship and elaborately carved, and will be placed in the library of the Executive Mansion. A brass plate, inserted in front of the principal drawer, contains the following inscription: "H. M. S. Resoluis, forming part of the expedition sent in search of Sir John Franklin in 1852, was abandoned in latitude 74 decrees 41 minutes, longitude 101 degrees 22 minutes west, on the 15th of May, 1854. She was discovered And extricated in September, 1855, in latitude 67 degrees north, by Captain Buddington, of the United States whaler George and Henry. The ship was purchased, fitted out and sent to England as a gift to Her Majestv Queen Victoria, by the President and people of the United States, as a token of good will and friendship. This table was made from her timbers when she was broken up, and is presented by the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland to the President of the United States aa a memorial of the courtesy and loving kindness which dictated the offer of the gift of the Resolute."—fTasAi'njyton Oor.

A Western Stock Hale.
They have their Stock Exchange and Mining Board in the magic cities of the far West, and their own peculiar way of doing business. Buyers and stockholders also have their own peculiar ways, and these ways sometimes clash. A New Yorker was seated in an office in Gunnison City one day not long ago, when a grizzly-looking old chap entered ana asked if that was the place where they sold shares of the White Horse Silver Mine. Being assured he was in the office of the company, he obse:ved: ••Pre heard the White Horse spoken of as being a likely mine." ••It certainly Is. We took $10,000 worth of ore out in one day." "Phew! She must be just old richness! How many men have ye got to work?** ••Oh, about three hundred." ••Have ye, though? Are the sheeres going off purty lively?*' "Shares are selling tike hot cakes, and we have only a few left. Every* body mt» the White Horse is a big investment." "What are sheercs worth to-day?" •*I will sell yon at S&, though I know they will be worth face value tomorrow."

mfssmmmfr Pna other day a Detroit lawyer had a rail to go into the country a few miles to attend a case on trial before a country 'Squire, and while jogging leisurely along bk buggy, he saw a man come running across the fields at the top of bis speed. Directly behind him, and armed with a stout stick, was a woman, and it was a nip-and-tuck race to the fence. The man reached it first, however, and as he dropfied on the high-way-side he called out to the lawyer: ••Stranger, for Heaven's sake, give me a lift down the road for half a mile!'
What's the trouble here?" asked the lawyer. Wife and 1 have had another falling outf was the reply, as the man rolled down a steep bank to the buggy.
The woman at this moment reached the fence, and, aa she was climbing over, the lawyer inquired of the husband:
Are you fooling or in earnest?" If you think I'm fooling just wait a second!" gasped the woman, as she plunged down the bank, rolled over and over in the road and rose up with a big stone in each hand. ••Squat!" yelled the husband, as he circlea around the horse, but the lawyer wasn't quick enough. One of the stones hit htm in the back and the other grazed his ear and hit the horse, and five or six more were coming as he struck a trot and moved off, tne husband hanging to the vehicle and running behind. When a safe distance away the lawyer halted and looked back. The woman stood in the middle of the road shaking both fists at him, and the ljusband wiped the beads of perspiration off his cheeks and chin and said: "Stranger, Hanner and me never have any fooling. When she's goodnatured I git one shirt a week ana two meais a day. When she's mad one of us has got to light out, and I wish next time you come this way you'd tell me if there is anybody in Detroit who can make me a pair of wings."—Detroit Fne Frc~s.
Novel se or Wood Shavings. From wood shavings and paper Herr Heilemann make-* plates, dishes, etc., as follows: Selected plane shavings are bound into bundles, and steeped in a bath of weak gelatine solution about twenty-four hours, then dried and cut into suitable lengths. Plates are cut of strong paper or thin pasteboard, of the si«e of tne objects to bo produced. These are moistened with a liquid consisting of weak gelatine solution with sodium water&lass, and pressed in heated metallic molds. After drying, the pressed paper objects are coated on both sides with an adhesive material of five parts Russian gelatine and one part thick turpentine the shavings are applied to them, and the whole is subjected to pressure. Wood shavings alone would, because of their unequal thickness, present uneven surfaces. The objects are now cut, if necessary, dried and varnished.
Guilty or Wrnnu.
Some people have a fashion of confusing excellent remedies with the large mass of "patent medicines," snd in this they al*e guilty of a wrong. There are some advertised remedies fulli' worth all that Is asked for them, and one at least we know of—Hop Bitters. The writer lias had occasion to use the Bitters in just such a climate as we have most of the year in Bay City, and has always found them to be first class and reliable, doing all that is claimed for them.— Tribune.
