The presoribed penod for the wearing of mourning, in the army, for General Grant, ceased on the very day oraers were issued for badges of mourning for General Hancocb. Prettt near time the name of some demoorat was mentioned in connection with the mayoralty. Perhaps the present incumbent wül consent to serve his party for another year. It has been announeed by several of the Detroit papers that Senator Logan attended ohuroh while in that city last Sunday. Is it so unusual for the senator to attend divine worship that the faot of his going must be commented uDon hv the oreas. Last Monday, in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States Attoruey Diekson was assaulted by three men as he was leaving the dining-room of his hotel. Frank J. and Angus Cannon, sons of George Q.

MoKernan will be one of the candidates, the question, arises, who is the nest most available candidate? In this oonnection we have heard the name of Frank Howard mentioned. Mr. U. is a straightforward man, an outand-out democrat.and in every way competent to discharge the duties conneoted with the office. m ■ m Mr. Cari, Dettloff of Detroit, the Germán who wrote to President Cleveland asking him to stand sponsor for his twelfth child, received, Monday, a letter trom Mr. Cleveland expreasing his willingness to be represented as sponsor for his son.

The repub'icans of Michigan bad a grand blow-out in Detroit last Monday evening, the occasion being the tirst auniversary of a republican organization known as the Michigan club. Whether the occasion did honor to the memory of Washington, on whoae birthday it ocourred, we will leave our readers to draw their own conclusions. One thing appears to be certaiu, it filled the leaders of the party with enthusiasra aud a determination to do soinetliing for their party. Whether these effejts will continue until the conipaign opeiis, is aiiother question. But.it will bu well for ;lemourat3 to note i thoeo tliing, and perhaps take eome i rueasures to créate sowe enthusiasm in their own rauks. - i i ■ i !!■■ As brieflly statcd last week, end as is well known to the people of thin city, the Miehigau Central railroad conipauy has made a proposition to a comimttee of the council 10 build a beautiful stoue depot forty by one hundred feet in size, between the old Hooper brewery and Detroit street, the inside to be elegantly finished - the casings, wainscoting and ceiling to be of oak. Two small stone buildings are to be erected to the east and west of the main buildings and connected to it by covered ways. The grounds about the new buildings are to be graded, turfed, and set out to shade trees, except the carnage way,which will be on the side of the depot next to town, and all of the tracks on the opposite side of the building. The abutments of the bridge are to be of stone with heavy iron columns in the center, the bridge to be thirty feet in width, twenty feet for carriage way and six feet for sidewalk, the company to flll in the approaches to both sides of the bridge on a grade to be fixed by the council, all at an estimated cost of twenty-five Or thirty thousand dollars. The offer of the company is liberal, not to say generous, towards the city. The council ougut not to hesitate on their part to submit the question of raising the money at once to the people. Every one not blind as a bat to the interest of the city, will see the advantages of a fine graded street to the tifth ward and the country beyond, high above the muddy and dangerous railroad crossing, which for thirty years nas been a nuisance, and a díngerous nuisance, to the public. The depot itself will be one of the most unique and beautiful in the country, and a permanent advertisement, as well as a convenienoe to the place. There is no reason why we should be divided on this question, as we are on most everything else. For once let the people of Ann Arbor pull together and ecure these splendid improvemeuts.
