The Ypsilantiau 6ays that "Mr. Greene was defeated for superintendent of the poor, for the purpose at securirg a aoard that would consent to place a arother-in-law of E. Duffy in charge of ;he county house." Now Mr. D. has only two brother-in-laws. One is 'stimated to be worth a clean half milhon, and the other can count his ihousands.

President Cleveland did not go among ;he western people io discuss political questions or to enlighten them in regard ;o any mattere of public adminitration. u response to pressing invitations he went to see a portion of the great country, the pu'olio affairs of which he admiuisteri1 so acceptably to his fellow citizens and so creilitably to himself. His judicious avoidauce of every topic or act calculated to provoke political discussion is what grievis his partisan enemies. The tnthusisasm with which ie has been greeted everywhere by all he people shows how little the childish criticisms of his enemies need be regard ed. - Philadelphia Record. The Students' lecture association bas ut up its posters. The course of leoures offered cannot, on account of its vaiiety. but satisfy everyonc. It is noiced that the number of lectures on the regular conree has been redticed from ix to íive, with a corresponding reduoion in pnce of season tickets. The oard has made an extra effort to meet he Wiints of the lecture going public, ispecially the student public. The subects announced are not indicative of esecially heavy lectures, and this is unloubtedly a merit. Lectures that are nolined to give the hearer a relaxation of mental effort are more suitable to . Iuh ïard working community. - Chronicle. On Saturday last the University iluseum received u fino specimen of American beaver, (cantor canadensis). iresented by J. H. I.eaven worth, of Sagilaw City. It was tiken near Atlanta, lontmorency county, Mich , and on Monlay a pair oL logoocks were receiyed rom Munismg, J. B Dow, of this city, )eing the sender. These specimens are now in the hands of A.

The regenta of the university having appointed Dr. Henage Gibbes, of Westminster College, England, to the new chair of pathology, the Adrián Times reninds them that there ia a law o( the Jnited otates prohibiting the importaion of labor under contract. The pomt raised by t)e Times appears to be well laken, as tbe district attorney of New York bas just decided to institute proneedings against the trustees of Trinity hurch for having brought over an Engish divine to fill their pulpit. Probably his novel application of the law was not oontemplated by its framer-f, but it will serve to remind tbose who might otherwiBe viólate it provisions that such a statute is in existence and that tbere is a ïealthy public sentiment behind it demanding its thorough euforcement. - .aiisiiiir Journal. In thecircuitcourt the past week, Jno. Conners and Kdward VVebb, both of Deiroit, who were arrested for pocketpicking in Ypsilanti, were tried and conacted. They were defeuded by Jno. W.

W hen the names of Warren Barlow and Dan Westbrook, charged with the larceny of wheat, was called, they failed to put in an appearance, and their recognizance was declared forfeitcd. Jno. F. Raywalt who charged Jno. Davison with slandering tiim, and the case which bas been hanging fire for several yearn, has finally been disposed of, the plaintiff receiving a judgment for S100, wnich will in a measure, soothe his laoerated feeling.

Rev Mr. Hickey bas rosigned nis position as mernber of the board of education in Detroit, because some of the chemicals used in th,e school lahoratories are bought at Ann Arbor. The trnth is that the ohemicals to be obtained in Ann Arbor can be found in no other market west of New York. Detroit oheniists should brace up if they do not deBire to be eclipsed by a little country town. In oonversation with Mr. Ebsrbaoh, he tells ua that there is no truth in Mr. Hickey's assertion that his house buys chemicals of Detroit firms. On the contrary all of the large Detroit chemists buy their laboratory ohemioals of him. These Chemicals he either manufactures bimself oï imports diiectly from Enrope, England, Germany, and Pranoe furmshing Bome of the supplies. But the larger prqportion he manufactures him self iu bis laboratory here.
