Tho magniflcent addition of state room cars to tüe mass of comfortable appointments for modern railway travel, originates with the Chicago, Builington & Quincy railroad, the favorite route from east to west. These cars enable the passengers to eujoy every luxury of flrst-class hotels; each room ueïng provided with washing, bathing, lounging and sleeping f acilities, and also arranged in suits for the convenience of families or traveling parties. The best part about it is tha', it costs no more than ordinary sleeping car accommodations while it secures complete privacy.

Prof. Emil Baur of Ano Arbor, sends the Detroit Evening News a plea lor the protection of snakes, many of whicli are not only harmless but very useful to the farmer in destioying vermin, etc. In reference to the common blue racer he quotes this, testimouy of Prof. J. B. Steere of the university : -'The blue racer is not poisonous. lts ordinary lood is rats, niice and squirrels, and it raay occasionally catch small Dirds. I don't think they would be dangerous in the least to children, though they have a good deal of force in their cuils. I never heard of anybody being hurt by them, though they are very plentiful in many parts of the west. I think you will find their uselulness will outweigh any iujury possible for them to do." Pontiac Gazette: Judge Turner was in town, on Tuesday in the place of Judge Gaskill, hearing the case of Toledo, Ann Arbor & Grand Trunk r&ilroad, vs Duulay, et al, oí South Lyon, for condcmnation of right of way. The grouud was origiaally condemued by a jury, the award deposited in bank, and the road built. Dunlap denied lcgahty of service, took case to supreme court, which held service void, and all previous proceedings nuil. These proceedings are de novo. Dunlap, by his attoinuy, Baker, resista the proceediags, claiming that the road were trespassers, and the tics aud track thoreon are his, and the case promises to be a hard fougut one, with mauy side is sues, as to tender of money, wantjof service upou tenant, Brooks, the legalily of R. 11. consolidation, &c. The Paw Paw Courier gives these further particulars of the death of youug Conner and Noyes by lightning. '-They were on (iremps street, just beyond the residence of W. H. Masou, and in sight of Conuer's, when the lightniug struck hem. They feil side by side on the walk and never moved. Mrs. Geo. Henuesey was withiu thirty or forty fcetof them wth a baby in acab, but was uot injured in the least. An uiubrellu whicli one of them held was found caught upon the fence and on flre. Their clothes were also considerably burned. Both were Btruck alike, on the left side of the head, the charge passiug through them downward to the right Noyes" seemed to receive the heavier charge, and never moved af ter being struck, wbile it was thouglit C'onner gave signs of life for a few secouds. Both were much burned and terribly discolored, their hair and whiskers burned, their faces swollen, preseuting a honible sight." That staunch republican paper, the Pontiac Gazette, inakes the following very sensible statement in its issue of July 22: The demócrata of Ohio, have noiniuated Mr. Boodwalter, the engine maker, of Springfield, for govornor. The nomination was a surpiise to themselves, and becauae tlie nominee happens to be a rich man, and because sonie oiie of the democratie managers c! id notget it, the cry is raised rigljl oñ' that lie tnpped a barrel suocessfully. The Gazette despises this element in politics above ground, tbat eburges every nominee with coiruption : if ricb, with obtaining bis nomination by purebasea, and if poor, by promises; there is no proof of any such conduct, but it is sheer assumption. No man sbould be at tacked on the assumption that he might have done 80 and so; let nis record and fitness for place, based upon absolute fact, be rigidly searched and crilicised. Mixing the jim-jams with every political campaign, is disgusting and an outrage. The enterprise of the Daily News was shown Saturday by the enlargement of the paper, whieh event was celebrated by the publishers by issuing a doublé sheet containing the history of the principie business houses and biographical notices of some of the leading citizens. Notwithstandiug the croakings of certain ones who are opposed to uverything which tend to build up a place, we lmve every reason to believe the success of the News is fully assured, and the best wishes of The Democbat is extended to the young man who has had the pluck to show the people of Anu Arbor and the state, that a diiily paper can be placed on a paying basis, right here in tliis city. Shake, brother Tanuer, and may the News live and üourish, until at no distant day you will find it necessary to enlarge your paper to tha demands of the times. The opening up of the Toledo, Anu Arbor & Grand Trunk road to Pontiac, will furnish a larger field for a daily paper. Everytlnng which tends to theup-building of a place should receive the hearty suppoit of all liberal minded citizens, and in encouraging your home daily, you lend assistance to an euterprise whose intluence must e feit in this commuuity. The New York Times tbinks if all the topics proposed in the new course of political seience at the Michigan university are intelligently taught and faithfully studied the future graduates of the school will leave Ann Arbor "very accomplished scientific politicians." The Times, Lowever, calis atteution to somedefects in the course. There is no chair of "wiie pulling," no ïustruction in packing caucusses, making up "slates," getting up "machines," organizing "literary bureaus," or learuing howto be a "boss." Of course, with such gaps and chasras in a man's political educatien, liis chances of even getting inlo "politics," to say nothing of his success therc, must, with all his "liirnin','' lie conceded very slim. Siuce it desnes to inake its new departure a practical success, Ihe university will remedy this oversight and establish Ibis new brand. Luckily, jast as the vacancy exists, the mau to till it is at liberty to dc-vote liis eutirc atteuüon to it. öo tUat no one will be greally burprised if ALr. Roscoe Conkliug should Oe called to Ibis new ppsitiou. lie needs uo certiticates or reconimendalions, and is donbtltss open to an eugagement. 11 is reputaliou in this specialty would alone be the making of the new chair, auU student would flock lo sit at his feet and be tauglit the art from the lips of u master, as they catne to Abelard at tlie Monastery of Saint Denis, or lo Oalileo, who, ou account of the numbers, was obliged to de liver his lectures iu the opeu air, at the uuiversity of Padua.- Vree Pi esa. Auother fatal accident occurrcd in this place sometime Friday morniug, resulting in the duath of a highly respecled citizen, Mr. Leonard Yangiui, a retired farmer and capitalist. It rained quite hard during the m?ht and Mr. Yaughn got up fot the purpose, it is supposed, of fixing a pipe leadiuij to the cistern. In going down stairs lie slipped and feil and when found by the hired girl was lying with his head against the door of the stairway witli his neck Dioken. Ilis wife, who is auinvalid, heard a noise about 3 o'clock which she supposcd to be tliunder and thought nothing more of it, ualil informed of her husband's death. 1I! was bom in Canterbury, Vermout, in 180G, and witli liis father's fainily moved to New York some nine years later, lu 1832 he became a resident of Ene, Pa., where he was employed by the governinent as üght-house keeper lor niauy years. In 1867 hu carne to Ann Arbor, where he has since resided. He has a son in Petrolia, ünt., who is engaged in the banking and mercanlile business. Mr. Vaughn was a man well thought of in the community. He was particularly interested iu the building up of the city, and was ever ready to give liberally to forward any enterprise lookiug to that end. In politics he was a democrat. His estate is variously estiinated at from $00,000 to $75,000. His wife who suivives him is a daughter of the late Dr. Nathamel Gott, a celebrated physician, who resided in Cooperstowu, N. Y„ and her mother a descendant of Wm. liradford, who was governor of the Plymouth colony for '2 years.
