: ks Forthe Bauner-Gambrinus-=-A True Story. A good deal #s said about Gambrinus, but few, if any,’seem to know the true hietory of his life. Gambrinus wae a poor fiddler in Germany; he fell desperately in love with'a handsome girl and proposed to ber, ‘but she refused and made . eport of him on account of his poverty. This 86 disheartened Gambrinus that he decided to ' put an end to his life; for that purpose he ‘went to the forest, provided with a stout rope, ascended a tree, tied the rope to a limb above his head and slipped the noose “he bad made around his neck; atthat moment a man appeared below the tree.. The man was dressed rather handsomely in green but had a swarthy face and sinister ‘loqk. He told Gambrinus not to despair but upon one condition he would help him out of his troubles. The man, who was no other than the “old boy himself,” would make Gambrinusrich and bappy for 30 years and enable him to laugh at the girl who refused him, but at the end of that time Gambrinusg was to belong to him, soul and_‘ body. Gambrinus did not hesitate lonzy he thought if he hung himself the devil "would probably get him anyhow and thirty years was a long time to be rich and happy, 80 he accepted the proposition and came down the tree. Safan at once instructed him how to make lager beer.-— Gambrinus set up a brewery and no sooner had the Emperor of Germany drank a gallon than he appointed him Duke of Brabant and Count of Flanders. Gambrinus had gained some experience; he avoided all women and consequently lived in peace, brewed his beer and drank with his nobles and burghers for 80 years. When the time was up Belzebub ordered his head boss, Jocko, to go and bring Gambrinns before: midnight or the contract would be forfeited. Jocko called prompfly on Gambrinus to come along ; he ex)pressed'himself ready to go but they must first have some lager. Jocko was delighted with it, never having tasted any before as it is not kept in the ‘ sulphurous court. .They drank it by the ‘ quart and by the gallon ; Gambrinus’ head proved the strongest, and poor Jocko fell under the table in a dranken slumber and did not wake up until noon of the next day. This mortified him so muéh and feeling ashamed of be|ing beat, (and no doubt 'had a bad headache) that he never returneéd to the upper world. Gambrinus, not ‘being wanted by the superior powers and the lower ’é-egiohs» ha-ving lost all claims upon him, lived for two hundred years and drank so much beer that he was changed into a beer barrel. He is to-day the patron saint of the Germans and all other beer drinkers. :

The Plymouth Democrat, one of the best papers in the country, has finally adopted the “cash in advance systémvand will send out no papers until they are paid for — Such a paper as the Democrat cannot be published on the creditsystem and it is unjust to except it. We are surprised that any man,will attempt to publith a paper on credit. The day for that kind of business has bassed..an‘d' before we would return to the old plan we would quit the business and. go to chopping cord wood for a living. The Democrat will find that, with a very few exceptions, its subscribers will be -better satisfied than with the old way, and the exceptions will generally be of those who ‘‘take your paper just for the sake of supporting it,” but who never pay’ a cent until they are obliged to. The less supporters of this kind the better for the publisher. = . :

The small~pox has eh!irely disappeared from the city, and the last case furnished some facts that seem to be of the highest importance. It wasthe case of Dr. Robinson, who had theidisease in a pretty bad form, but strange to say, his attendants and all the members of his family escaped without contracting the disease. This was accomplished by the free and judicious use of disinfectants, carbolic acid being the principal agency. This case proves that smallpox can absolut_ely be prevented from spreading®and that a patient’s attendants are entirely safe from the disease, provided the utmost caution in the use of disinfectants is fobsei'ved.' It is a long step toward robbing the small-pox of its loath~ some terrors.—ZLaporte Argus.” '

The papers that are published on the éredit plan are sending up their periodical howl for their debtors to settle up. They beg for wood, beg for pay.in anything, but usually get nothing and finally suspend for want of support. The onlysafe and satisfactory way is to sell your paper for cash and pay cash for 'what you get. This makes it nice and satisfactory all around.

The Three Oaks Revielle says : ?‘A panther, according to the report, has taken possession of the woods of New Buffalo.” We-should think the story ‘was a goblin tale, but we do not hear of the beast’s goblin’ any thing, and hence we conclude that it was a ‘‘painter” that caused the story to be started. The only difficulty is he painted it in too high colors.

An Elkhart woman coaxed her husband to go away from home in gearch of work and in his absence packed up her calamities, minus her progeny, and took the train for parts unknown. The Union of that place thinks there is ‘a man in it.— From which, we infer, there probably was & man on the same train; everybody knows there was'a woman on it. :

Corn brings so small a price that farmers are at a stand-still to know whether to sell'it or feed it to their hogs, but as hogs are also very low there is a probability that farmers will have to give both away to savethemselves further annoyance about the matter. : i

If any man wants to “‘whale” his wife let him do so now, or forever hold his peace. A ocruel law has been passed by the Legislature to prevent this little family amusement. Verily we are losing our freedom. et gy v

A project is on foot to organize & company in Michiga?n City, with a capital of $lOO,OOO, to extend the dockage of the harbor by the farther dredgirg out of Trail Creek. ;

And now comes the Knox Ledger with a continued story in its editorial columns It looks very funny to see such things in the 19th century, but progress is the word.

Hew to Drive Rats Away Without i ; Poison. : (From the Manufacturer and Builder.) We know three methods : First, the old French plan. This is followed chiefly in Paris by men making it a ‘gpecial business. They take¢a deep tub with water on the bottom and a little elevation in the middle like an island, on which is only place for just onerat to git. The top is covered, and has a large balance valve opening “downward. On the middle of the valve ‘a piece of fried pork or cheese is placed, and when the rat walkson it to get the cheese the yalve goes down, drops the rat into the water, and moves. back into position. A road is made from the rat hole to the top- of the tub by means of picces of boa:d rubbed with cheese, 80 as to make the walk attractive for the rats., In the course of a night some ten, twenty, oreven more rats may go down, and if the islaud was not ‘there they would be found most all alive in the moruing quieldy iswimming around; but the provision < f the litile island saves the trouble of killing them, because their egotistic instinet for preservation causes them to fight for the executive posseasion of the island, on which, in the moruning, ‘the strongest rat is found in. solitary possession, all the others being killed and drowned around him. Second, the New York plan, iuvented by oune of our’ friends. 'l'he floor near the rat-hole is covered with a thin layer of a most caustic potassa, When the rats walk on this it makes their feet sore; these they lick with qtheic tougues, which makes their mouth sore; and the regult is that they shun this locality—not alone, butappear to tell all the rats in the neighborhood about it, and eventually the house is entirely abandoned by them, notwithstandiog the houses around may be full of rats. Third, the Datch method, This is raid to be used successfully in Holland ;' we have, however, never tried it. A num-~ ber of lats areleft to themselves in a very large-trap or cag'e. with no - food whatever ; their craving hunger will cause them to fight, and the weakest will be eaten by the strongest. 'Afier a ghort time the fight is renewed, and the next weakest is the victim, and so it goes ontll one strong rat is lefr,— When this has eaten the last remains of all the others, it is set loose ; the an imal has now acquired such-a taste for rat fleeh that he is the terror of rat. dom, going around seeking what rat he “may devour. In an inecredibly gbort.time the premises are abandoned by all other rats, which will not come back before the cannibal rat bas lefior, died. ; . G

“The little creatures whom God, for some inscruiable purpoéﬁé,,permits to edit the csuntry papers of the Republican party” are struggling hard to murder Schuyler Colfax. From every ehunty-seat in his old districtiwheru a Radical crumb-catcher iz located, comes up a feeble wail for “Colfax in 1876,” but it is noticeable that there is neo one outzide of Schuyler's old district who feels that the world would cease to move if the Vice-President should really insist upon retiringn. We do noe\thihk there is one American citizen outside of the old 9th District who would rend his néther garment 'ijn vexation of spirit over such a determination. Nor do we believe that these pa pers will succeed in astpuishirig the ha&iovn with an invention that is ajlreédy a dozen years old and now' gives abundant promise ofthaving passed its period of nusefulness. Colfax will never be President of anything worth speaking of. Such politicians as he are like good children ; they die young. We warn the little blowers and strik~ ers that they never will geta cent’s reward for their work; besides, they are doing a discreditable and unbrbﬁtable job, The Radical papers at South Bend have a patent on Colfax for the Presiderixéy; it’s their stock in trade. They have undoubtedly.taken a contract to kill the Vice-President and they are performing the work with admirable zeal and in an effective way.— Hands off; “too many cooks spoil the broth.”—Lupotts Argus. ‘ ;

The Chicago Z'ribune says the result of the trial of minority representation in Illinois is a fair representation of the two parties, according to their proportiocnate vote, and that the primary object of the constitutional provision has been attained with almost mathematical accuracy.

‘Mrs, Molloy has a well written and very sensible article in the last Elkhart - Observer, on the-habit of newspapers classing such women as' Mrs. McFarland Richardsou with such open violators of moral and civil law as Josie Mansfield and Launra Fair, - The writer grows justly and 'eloquently indigvant at such an unjust and ungenerous classification,’ and we think she is about right in her views of the matter. Becauze a peculiar combination of circumstances bring a woman into public notice, it does not follow that she possesses an impeachable character or that she does not deserve sympathy, encouragementand public support. We are not quite sure but that the public is frequently unjust in its cen~ sure of women who enter the- lecture field, or embark in any public enterprise, but we suppose there is a prejudice arising from the fact that the vile seize upon any advantage accorded to them in this manner and at once ring all the changes on some absurd political problem. We know of no reason. why they should not be opened, and indeed we heartily favor, the opening df all schools and professions to women. True, we do not think that women will often succeed in public work, because they are physically unable to cope with the rough realities of professional life, but so long as there is a foolish prejudice against their entrance into these fields of labor there will be shorthaired agitators, and the harmony of the world will be disturbed by the cracked and gquealing voices of impractical spinsters. Give the women an open field and a fair fight and but few of them will care to eat the apple which now seems to be forbidden them. They will speedily learn that the fruit is not half as pleasant to the taste as it is t@the eye.—Laporte Argus,

In 1840 be edited thie) Log Cabin, a Whig catupaign paper, and in Apri!, 1841, e founded the New York Zridbune, with Henry J.

Mr. Greeley advocated Clay’s election in 1844, and afterwards jui{ned in-‘the political aatislavery movement, He was elected €o Congress in 1844, and asa member,made a strenuons o;’)posikinq to the mileage abuses.

Lot " In 1832, Mr. Greeley visited Europe, and was chairman’ of one of the juries at' the World’s Fair. His European letters ‘tathe Tribune were atterwards coilected in a volume, as “Glances at Europe.”| Tt wag:in 1859 that he went -to.Califuﬂnin},‘ by way of Kansas and Utah. One of the best trapscripts of his mind was a volume he publisbed in 1850, “Hints towards Riform,” . including many of his lectures ‘on - Jabor, education, tcmperance, | etc “Assocation Discussed,” by Greeley and. Ruaymond, was published 1n 1847, “Art: and dnd istey, as represented at the CWE-} tal ‘Palace,” m 1853, Other and’ more recent volumes of Mr. Greeley will be re‘membered as “History «f the Struggle for Slavery Extension from 1787 to ‘1%6,1’ “History of the American Conflict,” “Recolleetions of a -Busy Life,” “Overland Journey from New York to San Francisco in 1859, “Essays on Political Eeonomy,” and “What I know of farming.”" In liis early manbood, Mr. Greeley wrote: a few: poems that were considerably ad-i mired. Mr. Greeley's tife has been crowg.i ed with hard work, which he did witha* zeést, seeming to revel inthe pcrfur__maﬁlce of u prodigious amount of wental labor, He was a pains takingand zicnu'ra.te.chfro-f nicler ‘of facts and statistics, tiring of nothing, with the keenest appreciation of' everything. His devotino. to agricultural experiments bus gained for. him a great deal-of gond natured ridicule, for he was: in as magnificent earnest about the raising of tarnips as'the protection of American industty. .
