Falstaff, the greatest comic creation of all dramatic literature, will be presentad by Barney McAuley, the only comedian in America who is equal to suoh a character, at the Grand opera house, Friday evening, Sept. 21st. Some of our republiean lawyers have a longing for congressioiial honors - and so long that they will nerer get there. That time has passed, never to return, in this district. Nominations are not equivalent to eiection. Currentiy reported that Mr. S., a prominent temnerance evangelist, goes around soliciting business for one particular justice. Ohickens may come home to roost unless that branch of the temperance work is dispensed with. Kev. E. K. Sutton, non of Eev. L. Sutton of Manchester township, who has been located at Ellington, Tuscola county, has received the appointment of financial agent of the Adrián college, his duties being to raise money for the college. The new compulsorv educatiou law took effect the 7th inst. All children between the ages of 8 and 14 must attend school four months every year from Sept. lst, tinless excused by the school board, owii_g to mental or physical disability. The prohibitionists only want $100,000 to start business with. Most any on e could engage in business svith that amount of capital donated. But let them hold their breath until they raise it. Their cheek is most " too funny for anything." Friends were trying to persuade judge Harriman to appomt a guardián for Mr. Lyons who lives south of Saline Wednesday. A host of witrjesses were present. How many friends would take suoh n deep interest in one's welfare if he was poor ? We pause for an answer. The luxury of boarding at botel de Wallace, judgmg frorn the price, can't be enjoyed by every resident of the county. One man's bill Monday ïiight, including supper and breakfast, only $13, and didn't have quail on toast either. " Too funny for anything." JMr. Dowling, a blacksmith of WoodJand Center, who carne here for medical treatment, died at the. residence of Mrs. Moe Monday. His remains were taken to Woodland Tuesday for bttrial, in uiiuiHc ui me manóme iraiermij or mis city. HÍ8 wife and son accompanicd liis remains home. We have oalled attention severa] times lo the condition our sidewalks are in. Will our city fathers neglect this business until it is too late and the city have to respond in damages to some one that may get injured by these defective walks. The mayor or some one ought to interest themselves in this matter. Prohibitionists and republioans in Okio don't sit at tbe saine table, eat off the same disk and drink scmp out of the same bowl as they used to. Wonder why? What bas happened to that old God and morality party? Rats leave a sinking sbip. Wonder if tbe prohi'a are moved by any sucb spirit? James Blytbman alias Blackburn, was genteneed to 90 days in lonia by justiee Breiman Tuesday moraing. Cause, eommon druiikard. Six wituesses were sworn, and more eould testify they had seen bim sober during the past frwo weaks "one da ."' His wife is sick and soon expeeted to becorne a mother. Geo. Ottley, the 19-years old youth, that was arrested for threats made against Mrs. Volland's girl, had his trial before justice McMahon last Tuesday and discharged. Evidence couldn't overeóme sympathy for the youth. Is that it, or was it, as the lawyers say, oonflicting. Any way the boy got the doubt. The new law prohibits justicea frorn issuing warrants for anv one without a written order from the prosecuting attorney. or upon the complainant giving security for costs. But it is doubtful if neoessity requires a warrant to be issued without it, if it wouldn't be valid. We wouldn't bejafraid to wager an appïe on it. Temperance fanática for years have been howling for local option law in this state. Now they have got it in over 80 villages in this state under the law of 'ast winter, they can prohibit the sale of liquors, but none have formally decided to do so. If a prohibitory law was passed it would remain a dead letter - never be enforced. Great cry and no wool. A white girl about 16 years of age, employed as a domestic at Mrs. 8., will see her name in the papers in anything but an enviable light if she persists in keeping coinpany with black men. She will go further than Jackson, so we hope a word to the wise will be sufficient. The oificers are on her track and she wants to ba careful, for the lock-up stares her in the face. Our jail is a disgrace to the county. Our public buildings, with the excention of the jail, are good. The erection of a good, suitable building for a jail would coat but little. Tax-payers would never feel it - wouldu't make but a few cents difference in their taxes. SoniB action should be taken by our supervi sors to build a new one. Let the press speak out. Dr. Donald Maclean next week will move his family to Detroit and take np his residence at No. 72 Lafayette avenue. This change no doubt is brought about by his connection as surgeon general for the M. C. K. R. However he retains his position as yet in our medical college. We sincerely regret his departure from among ua, bnt our loss will be Detroit's gain. Our republican friends are consoling themselves about the success of their party in Ohio this fall. October breezes will waft news that will be cold comfort when the news flashes over the wires, 20,000 majority for the democratie candidate for governor. If that will inspiie their confldence in looking for success in the future, let them enjoy it. No accounting for some folks taste. Our temperance folks are creating quite a furor because beer is sold on state fair grounds. The contract prohibits the sale of liquors, and whoever sells forfeits their rights if the managers see fit to enforce it. But beer has always been sold and will go long as the present managers control things. Tliose that sell beer to minors should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If the repbulicans would only practice temperance in place of lecturing so much about it, every saloon in the country would be compelled to close in a year. Supp'y and demund is what controla their business. If you don't beheve it try it and see how surprised you will be. More surprised than the Argus editor was at the late school election. The whole thing would be "too funny for anything." The old commercial college on áth street is undergomg repairs preparate ry to ite opening on October lst, for the accommodation of student s who desire to enter for a full commercial course. The manager, Thomas Leonard, is too well known to need any introduction. He will be ably assisted by Prof. Jerry Walsh. Students can enter at any time. Principal studies- Phelan's history on billiards, Jaycox's & O'Conners treatise on best brands, and Bagley's treatise on Mayflower. The sad news reached us Thursday i rnorning of the death of Mr. John Lynch, an old resident of this county, who haB been ailirif tor some time, and his death was not entirely unexpected. He was formerly a farmer in the township of Northfield, amassed a large fortune, and old age creepmg on, he resolved to move to the city, which he did and purchased himself a home on Fourth street. For years he has been unable to do hard work. He lea ves a wife and one grown up daughter, the wife of John Smith, who will mourn hia loss. His remains will be interred in Northfild cemetery. Funeral Saturday morning at 9 a. m., from St. Thomas church. Specimen of Col. Deland's " back talk" to Capt. Bontecue: "Bontecue, the late temperance tramp, who is now masquerading as the self constituted grand tycoon and manager of the republican party, is terribly angry because the Herald bas unearthed the report of the late alliance and shown up the uses it has made of its mwiey. Froru that day to tliis has that vile spawn of an English poor house, this gradúate of the grog shops and gutters of the city of Jaekson, this rotten-hearted professor of christiamty and temperanee, spilied the vials of bis rottenness and abuse on our head and character unbeaded by us, because unbelieved by every citizen of the tate who knows either or both." Sich is life. Two young colorea gentlemen with their ladiea, stopped at the Detroit house in Ypsilanti, last Sunday and asked for quarters. ïhe lidies were shown to their rooms, and the young gents to their apnrtments, one story higher. This so enraged one of the females that about two o'clock she got up and interviewed the landlord, and declared it impossible to rest so f ar away froni their fellows, but the old gent was immovable. 80 flnally she started for the depot and oame lióme, leaving her beloved there, he not knowing anything of her disappearance uutil he asked for hor in the morning to accompany hini to breakfast. Jnst imagine his surprise. One oouple hailed from this city, the other were reaidents of Ypsilanti. "Too funny for anything." The only attraction on Main street Monday was Barney Morrison dancing a hompipe. First and only production of Shakespear's King Hcnry IV, in tliis city September 21st. Edward Duffy, Ksq., lias sdded to bis stock a full line of house furnishing goods, at pricee tliat defy corapetition. Street Janips out on some of our principal thoroughfarea last Friday nigLt before 10 o'clock. Can any one explain the reason of it, or is that eimply a reminder of wbst is iu store for us this fall and winter.
