By the way Toledo is piling up its debt in aid of railroad projects it is evident that her figuring or fugling financiers are full believcrs in the local application of the maxim that " a national debt is a national blessing." Having voted to aiJ tho Colurubus and Toledo road (east line), to the amount of $200,000, it also impurtially votes $200,000 in aid of the Toledo and Columbus road (west lirte). This in addition to about $500,000 to the Toledo and Woodville road - a section in the Toledo and Hanffield line and operated by the Pennsylvania Company, and we don't know how much to other projects. And now aid ia talked of to the Canada Southern - which it would seem will hava to be made indirectly as the State line ís so neaf the city limits tbat the appropriation in that direction must be expended in a narrow limit.

Pive car-loads of United Stafes infantry passed through St. Louis Wtdnesday, en route for the 6eat of the Modoo war. Jtjst now n serious and determined effort is being made in Detroit to enforee so mucb of the prohibitory legislation of the State as maltes it a panal offense to sell or give liquors or ititoxicating beverages to minors, or to permit minors to play at hillinrdp or othcv games in rooms or buildings where liquor issold. This is hegiunins at tho right end. Whatever in.] i vid öal liberty is clr.imed for the grown ap oitf an, - the elector, the socereign, - the minor is certainly subject to restraint- both iipon his appetites and actions. And short work should bo made of that saloon keeper wlio Wlll give orsell liquors of any kind to minors The sevorest penalty of the law is too mild to mote out anything like justice, but such as it is it, should be ineasurod out in the most summary manner possiblo. Lot boys be protected during tlie years betwe en fifteen and twontyone and the long proeession of uiiddle gerl dnmkards will bo materially shortened.

Whenever an intoxicated minor is seen on our streets let tho necessary steps oe taken to discover where he got his liquor, and let extreme puniskmcnt speedily follow. And, we also say, let daily nnd nightly watch bo kept of all places where liquor is sold, and let them be kept entirely clear of minors. The}are no place of resort for the young, and but dangerous mau-traps for the old. The Supreme Court, in general term, has denied tho application of Stokes for a new trial.

A council of Homeopathie physicians from this and neighboring States was held at the Oregory House on Tuesday and Wednesday.

As the result of the deliberations tho aforesaid Eegcnts are at liberty to seieot from the foüüvrin? nominees, preference giveu in the order named: Professor of Thconj and Practiee-Vmi. X. F.

Bachmeister, of Tronton Illinois. We are confMent that the Regents will feel a great load of responsibility takeu from their shoulders. - And no great light of Homeopathy was discovered in Michigan. - ■ - m - i ■ - - Our citizens are ív long suffering and forbcaring people. They spenrl much time and monev in cultivatmg fiue gardens, in sesding and turfinff their yards, iu planting out fruit trees and shrubbory, and then fold their arma, let their neighbors' cows forage on their premises both day nnd night, and reward the seli'-same neighbors by paying them six cents a quart for their spare milk. They set out shade treea in front of their premises yearly, and then quietly see a drove of cows amuse themsclves in twisting them out of the ground. Gates and bars are no protection and so they scold and storm, perhaps swear, and the destructioii goos on. This rather than offend a ueighbor by cafflng to their lid the lavr and Ha officera. When will patience Ciase to be a virtue ? We understand that the Mendelssohn Quintette Club of Boston will give a couoert ut Ihe Fresbyterian Church, Monday evening, May 19th.

TnE "Gueat Basteen" Comiso.- Xot the celebrated steamer Great Eastern which ome well-known Ann Arborites wont way down to Portland to see and didn't find, but the cösnbiiiation Menagerie, Museum, Circus, Avinry, Aqiarium, Ilippodrome, Caravan, and we don't know what else. The dato of the Gkeat Easteen's coming is Thursday next, March lóth. Tho four mile procession of gÜded dong, vans and tableaos cars, with four bands of music and a steara piano " the of which can be heard four miles," awakens the greatest excitement in any Imvu wherever the Great Eastern appears. The Cincinnati Commercial gives this monster show the followiug hearty indorscment : "It is tho most gigantic afïair of tho age, havmg twelve monstrous tenta, and comprises tritfaiq ite varied dopartments the dazzling splendor of arenio talent, the instructiva wonders of zoology, tho attractivc curiosities of the museum ; the thousunds of pleaaing attractions of its inauy departments that will greatiy amuse, Instruct and benotit the publie taste for a moral show, and will at oneo display the wondcrful ncconipli.shments of genius aiid art. " Tho Great Buten is onn of the modern show triumphs, in trhich the splendoi of Homo in her golden age, when the Imperial Cicsar Augustus held sway in that magnificent empire, is entirely eclipsed. The tact, gcuitiu and Buccossiul management in the compüation of this leviathan, stamps the originators of the Great Bajtern as tho monarchs of American showinen, if, indeed, they may not disputo the palm with the world. "A largor list of artists and' artistes wns never before exhibited ; a more costly apparel fora circus never caine together ; a better selcction of animáis aud curiosities cannot bo iound on the globe."
