wrwm<iiNnKM«Knmvp«HM^^ I The Michigan City Newsihummer I for local news items. Now the Soutli Bend Tribune is in it, I with a blue racer story twelve feet and eight inches long. The Michigan City Dispatch is too caustic. However, it may have just cause for its flow of venom. Ed. Corey, a Michigan Cityite, licked a nigger over in Peru, and now the papers of the former place are in caniptions. Tin Indianapolis Sun tells about a citizen of that place, Channcy Morlan, aged 20 years, and weighing almost 1 live hundred pounds. John Rooney, who was charged with , stealing a valic" Elkhart, was arraigned before .fudge Vaufleet, plead guilty and was sentenced one year in the penitentiary.—Nappanee News. That will just about kill his poor 1 little sister Annie, too. There is a snake in tho region of South Whitley now upwards of twenty feet long. Since the celebration held at different places on the Fourth, several frightful spake stories have . gained circulation . Great care should be taken hereafter what grades of whisky are used. As a rule corn is not looking well in this section. It has a good color but the weather has been too cold for rapid growth and the wind has blown it down until it is difficult to cultivate. —New Carlisle Gazette. Farmers here say that the prospect for an abundant crop of corn is better this year than for the last five, and that the crop without question will bo very heavy. Tne Walkerton Independent of last week contains the following: “S. B. Davis, of the Starke County Republican, received notice of the allowance of his pension. S. B. remained duly sober as a mark of his appreciation.”— Knox Ledger. The Independent did contain such an item, but in the Knox correspondence. Bro. Davis, if the last sentence in the above is a he, must go for the Knox correspondent to the Independent. Several Rochesterites paid a dollar to see a sparring match at Peru Thursday night between Ed Corey, champion white pugilist, of Indiana, and “Elder” Pitts, champion colored slugger, of Hoosierdom, but it was a snide of the fl lit wuter. The Peru "coem ’ warn —getting decidedly the worst of it in the second round and, as the Peru sports had their “stull'” on him, they notified the police who stopped the tight and the referee declared theconte t adraw. The Peruvians, thereby, saved thenbets and fleeced the big audience out of five hundred dollars. Pern’s sports are all of the tin horn gentry.—Rochester Sentinel. New York has just murdered four more men by a legal application of electricity. This process of taking human life may be more humane than hanging, but it is murder all the same and this civilized nation should shrink with horror from the awful custom. Capital punishment is a relic of barbarism which this country can afford to recognize with favor no longer. Rochester Sentinel. We are sorry that the above did not reach u in time to take its place in the column of testimonials on another page. However, it does duty v ure it is, and wo are glad to get it even in time for this issue. It is ..ever too late to do some good, thank the Lord. The Memphis Commercial indulges in this round-about, easy-going sort of paragraph: "When you are standing under a tall tree and sheltering yourself from the ram and see a greasy

streak of lightning fly down and light gently on one of the topmost limbs and begin to crawl slowly and sneakingly down the tree in a subtle manner and wind around trying to fork you, and keep on crawling down in an unbeknown wu,j- »o us Lu gel into your pO(‘ket and cuddle down, it would be greatly to your benefit to kind of step a little to one side and not Linder its descent. At least that is the way it strikes us sometimes." Commenting on The Suu’s editorial relating to the barbarous system of capital punishment in many of the states, the Walkerton Independent says: Sound to the very center. We thought wo were not reading The Sun every day for nothing. Shake, old ; boy. dho Sun has several times given voice to the same views in the past three years, and it extends its hand to the Independent on this occasion.—lndianapolis Sun. And nineteen out of every twenty would do likewise had they the sand to boldly express their sentiments upon the subject of capital punishment. The time is coming when to condemn . capital punishment will be the popular ■ thing, and then the truckling skunks will be on that side. -

The Land of Pluck, Far over the sea is a famous little h?? SeneraHy known as Holland; but that name, even if it mean Hollow and or How Jami? does not describe t1 a so well as tlus-The Funny Land vi 1 iUCK. Verily, a queerer bit of earth was 1 never shone upon by the sun nor washed country that ever raised its head from the waves (and, between ourselves, it does not quite do that),the most topsy. ! turyy landscape, the most amphibious spot m the universe,—as the Man in Moon can’t deny,—the chosen butt of tlie elements, and goodnaturedly the laughing-stock of mankind. Its people are the queerest and drollest of all the nations; and yet so plucky, so wise i and resolute and strong, that “beat- < mg the Dutch” has become a bv-word ' for expressing the limits of mortal per- I formanoe. As for the country, for centuries it was not exactly anywhere; at least it objected to staying long just the same, in any one place. It may be said to have lain around loose on the waters of a certain portion of Europe, playing peek-a-boo with its inhabitants; now coming to the surface here and there to •attend to matters, then taking a dive for change of scene, —and a most disastrous div it often proved. Rip Van Winkle himself changed less between his great sleeping and waking than Holland has altered many a time, between sunset and dawn. All its permanence and resoluteness seems to have been soaked out of it, or rather to have filtered from the land into the

people. Every field hesitates whether to turn into a pond or uot, ami the ponds are always trying to leave the country by the shortest cut. Ono would suppose that under this condition of things the only untroubled creatures would be turtles and ducks but no, strangest and most mysterious of all, every living thing in Hollamappears to be thoroughly placid am content. The Dutch mind,so to speak is at once anti-dry ami waterproof, Littlo children run about in fields > where once their grandfathers sailed over the billows; and youths and maidens row their pleasure-boats where i their ancestors played “taw” amonw the haystacks. When the tide sweeps unceremoniously over Mynheer’s garden,he lights his pipe, takes his fishm rrod, ami sits down on his back porch |to try his luck. If his pet pond breaks ! loose and slips away, he whistles, puts up a dam so that it cannot come back i and decides what crop shall be raised in its vacant place. None but the iJutch cotiid live so tranquilly in Hol. ; land; though, for that matter, if it had not been for the Dutch, we mav be sure : there would have been, by this time, no Holland at all. And yet this very Holland, besides I holding its own place, has managed to gain a foothold in almost every°uuar- ■ I ter of the globe. An account of " its I colonies is a history in itself. In the Hast Indies alone it cciumands twentyty four millions of persons.— Mary Mapes Dodye, in St. Nicholas, Indiana claims to be the greates; and b-ist egg-producing state iu the. j union.
