If the term "offensive partisan, had the same effect elsewhere that it hae in Maryland the republican office holders would Boon be utterly exterminated. A village post-mastcr in that state was recently acoased of being offensive partisan and measures takon to secure his remo val. He took it so to heart that he went out into the barn and hung himselg. - Port Huron Telegraph. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat who tore its linen for Mr. Blaine last fall, has this to say of him now: " This year Mr. Blaine is hot and prompt in his congratlations of the Mahone ticket in Virginia. Last year Mr. Blaine was pronounced in his hostility to the Mahone ticket in Virginia. The reason was that Mahone was for Arthur as the presidential oandidate. It occurs to us, on a careful view of the whole situation, that Mr. Blaine is taking too imich interest in state politics. He is trying to fill a vacancy whioh does not exist- that of statesman-at-large from the universal earth. A patiënt waiting until called upon would help Mr. Blaine amazingly.' The late Jno. C. Winans of the township of Sylvan, who left a last will and testament, made the following bequests: To his wife, Hannah S. Winans, he gives nis furniture, pictures, gold watch and chaiu, horse and buggy, and $500 yearly for her support. To his sisters, Mrs A. R. Beckwith, Abigail McOwnelly and Henlen A. Johnson, each $100; to his executors $4,000 in trust, and to pay the same to the treasurer of the American missionary assooiation of New York city, to be applied under the direction of the executive committee for the education of the negro race; to Archie A. Wilkinson 31,500, to be paid to him when he arrivés at the age of 21 years; to Nettie J. Wilkinson 8600; Thos. A. Wilkinson $500. After the death of his wife the remainder of the estáte to be equally divíded between the American missionary association and the American home missiouary sooiety of New York. The will is dated July 21, 1882. The most widely known local character in Ann Arbor is Grefeor Nagele. He is the only man in his profession in the entire state. The peculiarities of the business tend to discourage competition. To pitch the tunes in a pickling vat a man must be endowed with extremely rare natural qualflcationa. Gregor Nagele seems to possess them. He sol dom sharps or fiatR and never gets off the key. For taking care of a nice quiet family of "cadavers" the state can't duplicate him. In acting as a reception committee he always knows just where to put his hand on the annunciator. His memory, too, is remarkable. If a "stiff" ought to have died in some state institution and didn't he can furnish full details to all inquirers regarding the criime which should have been committed and show credentials to prove his statements at a moment's notice. A short time ago a lady called at the university. She was looking for the body of a brother which she had her own reasons for believing had been transferred f rom the lot in thecemetery tothe pickling vat of the classical iustitution. She was courteously receivcd and turned over to Grogor Nagele. That gentleman was equal to the emergency. It was not the firet time he had had to deal with vicitors who called at the institution on similar errands. He led the way to the pickling vat. It had been a good season for the business, and trade was rushing. Even when seen in all the regalia of holi day attire, there are pleasanter places to visit than the pickling vats of medical iustitutions. Tausing beside the disgusting receptacle, Mr. Nagele stooped forward, thrust his good right hand into the brine and brought it again to the surface with the hair of u "subject" twisted about the fingere. "Is tha1 yourn?" he inquired grimly, in his peculiar brogue, as the gastly features were exposed to view. The callor grew fainl as she admitteci that it was not. Again aad again the operation and the questior. were repeated, uutil the searcher beggec him to desist. Womau's human nature could endure no more. "We didn't gel moj-e-'n a third through," Mr. Nagele vol unteered as they left the horrible gpot "That al'ays fetches.'m," he muttered to himself, as the lady hurried out of the grounds.
