Monroe Doctrine From The Democrat

The Ypsilantian annonnoe that Geo. M. Qaudy "hatohed fonr chioks yesterday. " It has been deoided that the hen thut. does the hatohing is the mother of the chicken. Oapt. Allen 's lecture on "The Great" est American" at the Dnitarian church Fnnday evening, was listened to by a Iarge andience with intense interest. - Ann Arbor Conrier. - We thank the oaptain and the andienoe for this personal oompliment, whioh we will cherish aruong our most gratefol reoollections. John P. Whiting, the "kid" mayor of Si. Olair, has jnst entered the University. He still retains the dignity and emolumenta of bis high office and manages the munioipal government frorn afar. It is within the short tnemory of most of the St Clair pople, ■when Whiting was "mewling and puking iu his nnrse's arms. " Jerry Johnson, a ham-huedcitizen of Ypsilanti, purchased a snit of olothing at Milan, the other day and had the dealer do up the goods and mark them. He wonld pay and take the goods the next day. Then he swiped a seoond aait before the open eyes of the merohant withont deteotion, suoh as his gift of sequestration, bnt it jailed him at last. An Ypsilanti bill collector went to Ann Arbor to oolleot a bill of a barber. The barber said he couldn't rais'er, bnt oftered to shave the bill. The collector said there was't "soap" enough for that. This set the barber's temper on edge and he "lathered" the collector and smashed his gob, and gave him many outs wherenpon ariseth a oase of assanlt aud battery. ,; ÍThree normal professors were recently invited into the Masonio lodge of Ypailanti. "Three of akind;'but ou this subjeot the arohiteot of this item has no personal knowledge. Will Bio. Ryan kindly state whether he knows - but now it ooours to ns that he said in his sermón that he threw the paok in the fire and went and washed his hands Ann Arbor has had a'mid-winter ch cus Jnst whar Ann Arbor wanted of ít is hard to teil. Tho fratrioidal frats have been furnishing a circus for son e weeks as mounted "ba!l" juglers and feeling for esoh other's gugglers at the sanie time, while the faonlty have furnished the clowns.

Willard Babb.tt, of Ypsilauti, wife of Probate Judge ' Babbitt, a monument in honor of the I venprable and good ex-Governor , us Feloh.may be ereoted bef ore the san j of his well spent life shall be hid below the horizon. Gov. Feloh was 91 years old in September. The ïnonumeot project is favorably received and it is hoped, the resnlt will prove untrue the words of Shakespeare: "He who in iife provideth not his own monnment, shall live no longer in meiaory thau the bell rings and the widow weeps. " Once more - last cali - the Democrat serves notioe on Ex-State Oil Inspector H. D. Platt, of Washtenaw, to retnrn to the state treasory. $4,000 of ooneoience money. Plutt held the office of state oil inspector four years and gveased the runnins; geer of his fortune with i $1.500 a year. He now says it was aotually not worth over $500. While Platt was dravving his salary, like the still sow, he drank the swill with no noisy air-snction accompaniment. If in his conviotioDS ho feit that $500 a year was all that he was eutitled to, how in the fature world, does he hopa to escape the daronafcion of "the tiugodly man and the sinner?" Let the oily Platt retnrn the $4,000 or acknowledge Platt hiinself a blow-snake and quietly retire withiu hiuiself, like a greased telesoope.
