How can such thiugs be? From the tone of Ypsilanti papers in the past, one could only infer that it was a small place. General Bragg bas taken the trouble to look up the war records of some of the men who are now flghtiug the Southern Confederacy as they never did before. Several "generala" he finds were corporals or privates in the service, and most of the bitter, blood-and-fire warriors of the day were members either of hundred day regiments or of regiments recruited late in the war, when enormous bouuties were paid and when there was hardly a chance of ever seeing an enemy, and which, in fact, never dischar;eil a gun. The men who did the fighting are quite willing to live in peace and let the dead past with all its lessons, its hardships and dangers remain bnried. They are men of to-day. They were men twenty years ago. When called to the field they did what they had to do and quit.

After going to the hospital it seoms that one of the bottles of hot water - usually plaoed around patients to revive them after au exhausting operation - in soine marmer canie m too close contract with the limbs of the patiënt and burned her somowhat. Just how that was done does not appear, but it was certainly nothing that Dr. Wood is responsible for. The lady was very gratef nl when see left here, but some way seems to have changed her mind, and has now sueil tho Doctor for $10,000 damages. When it is known that the operation cortaiuly saved her life, that it was one that bas been seldoni performed; that the Doctor expended nraoh valnable time apon her case in order that it might be successful, the suit for damages appears to say the least, to be surprising and singular. - Gonrier. Oan you not see the hand writing on the wall. Miss Susie Palmer is visiting f rienda at Flat Koek. Slimmer tourists skould remember tbat pretty milkmaida do not like to be called cow bells. Of course croquet is a gambhng game. Dou't you know you can't pliy it without putting up atukes?

A few Sundays ago we heard a preacher of the gospel make use of this vigorous comparison: "A hypocritical ohristian can no more get to heaven than a raccoon can climb a stove pipe with a tea-kettle tied to his tail."

That was the last of it. One of our esteemed cotemporaries has called attention to the nails sticking up out of the sidewalka. They should be flriven in, by ill means. I saw a lady, handsomely dreesed, walking on Main street the other day, when her skirt caught on one of these nails and tore an ugly hole in one of the ruflies. The lady, wíth a serene face and outwardly calm, was probably anathematizing, but I forgot. The ladies never do so. But truly, let each one see that the walks in front of his residence or place of business is perfectly unobstructed.
