In due time Arthur struck out for
himself, first going to Oakland county
to live with bis grand-parents. When
lie left Oakland he went to Shiawassee
county to reside with his {.areata, who
had taken np a residence there some
time cefoie. In August, 1803, he enlisted

On toe 10th of Angdst, 186&, be was
oufted lh marriage with Miss Lois
Sears, of Byron, Shiawassee county,
through which union five children were
born to them, ail of whom are living at
home. Twenty-one years ago thelSth of
March last, Mr. and Mrs. Mead came to
Olive township, first settling oit a new
forty, which through uuiud hard work,
coupled with a sufficient number of
privations, they finally converted from
a bowling wilderness into a pleasant
home, which the family now own.
Their faithful and always willing children,
in the main, having grown to
manhood and womanhood, Mr. Mead
purchased an SO acre farm on which
tbey resided in joy and peace during
the last eleven years, and upon which
he did the last work and closed his eyes
to the scenes of this life.
Mr. Mead was an honored member of
Charles E. Grisson Po3t. G. A. R., and
Olive Grange. His funeral took place
from the Olive church on Friday last,
Kev. Laufman, of St. Johns, ofticiiting.
under tbe auspices of the G. A. R. Post,
and the lemaina were laid to rest in St.
Johns cemetery. As Mr. Mead commanded
tbe unbounded respect of all
who knew him, a goodly number of relatives,
comrades and old friends assembled
to pay their respects to bis memory,
tie was a kind and devoted husband, a
loving and indulgeut father, and an
obliging and worthy neighbor. No
man could truthfully speak ill of him.
lie is survived by a wife, five children
residing in Olive, and two sisters, father
and mother and one grand-child residing

**Tho*e are his very words," contin­
ued the reporter; "thoeehe telegraphed
to Chatham yesterday, as you will see
if you hold before that mirror this
sheet of blotting paper which I found
on ArbogasVs desk.'*
Dunlap, with an unsteady hand, took
the blotting paper; and, holding it be­
fore the glass, studied the reflection
intently.
"What do yr»u make out?" asked
Sturgi*.
"Nothing whatever," replied the
banker, promptly.
**Whatr* exclaimed the reporter;
"do you mean to nay that you do not
distinguish any marks on the blotting
paper?*'
**I mean to say that X do not see any­
thing" to which I can attach any sem­
blance of a meaning. The blotting pa­
per has been used, and, of course,
there are ink marks upon it; but, as
far as I can see, these are wholly dis­
connected. They are entirely void of
sense to my eyes, at any rate."
"Examine the blotter again careful­
ly in this direction," said Sturgis,
drawing an imaginary line upon the
mirror, "end pay no attention to any
other marks which seem to cross these
lines. Now do you see anything?*'
The banker examined the image in
the mirror for some time before reply-
**If I allow my imagination to enter
into plsy, I can complete several iso­
lated letter*,"
"Will you dictate these while I nor­
thern here. Be careful fb distinguish
between capital and lower-case letters:
Also separate the lines, and >tate
whether letters come close together
or are separated by a space."
"Very weH," agreed Dunlap, who
then proceeded to read off the letters
he saw in the reflection of the blotter
in the mirror.
When he had finished, Sturgis hand­
ed him the paper, upon which were
transcribed tbe letters he had dictated.
They presented the appearance shown
below:

"Well," said the banker, "If you can
make anything out of that gibberish,
your imagination is mure active than
mine.**
"It Is not a question of imagination,"

He was only a teamster, but, hie
soul was filled with a chivalry which
we are led to believe typified the
knight* of old. And in a coat of

for he was a big, brawny chap, with
no little physical beauty of the rough

As he guided his heavy dray down

one of the hones slipped In the ley

the brake down hard, the driver
jumped from his seat to recover the

But. quick as he was another claim­
ant was ahead of him. She was a
fashionably attired youmr girl of
about 18, with a roguish, laughing
face. Just as the teamster leaned over
to pick up the horseshoe a dainty-
gloved little hand reached In ahead
of his big 1 red one and clutched the
coveted pr'i^e.
"I got it first," she cried, laughing
gleefully. "X*t me keep it, do, please.

The big teamster removed his fur

Then, quite unabashed, he climbed
up to his seat, and the girl walked up

Most people, if asked what animal
eats the most, would probably say the
lion or tiger. This is quite s mis­
take, says the London Daily Mail.
Thirty to forty pounds of flesh will
satisfy a lion, which, as an average
specimen weighs over 450 pounds, ia
by no means extravagant. A bear has
much more capacity than a lion snd
can make away with a smaH pig at
a meal, say half a hundredweight of
meat. Wolves are among the hungri­
est of the larger carnivore. A wolf
will starve for a fortnight, and then eat
a third of his own weight at a single
meal.

long, 40 feet wide and eight feet deep.
Ah, poor man, if yon had been lame and

In speaking of Christ as a surgeon
I must consider him a* an oculist or
eye doctor, and an aurlst or ear doetor.
Was there ever such another oculist?
That he was particularly sorry
for the blind folkal take from the fact
that the most of His works were with
the dSseased optic nerves. I have not j
time to count up the number of blind
people mentigped who got His cure.
Two blind men is one bouse; also one
vabo wa* bora blind; so that it was
not removal of a visual obstruction,
but the creation of the cornea and
ciliary muscle and cryrUlltne lens aad
retina and optic nerve and tear gland,
also the blind man of Bethaaida, cured
by the saliva whieh the Surgeon took
from the tip of His own tongue and
put upon the eyelids; also two blind
men who sat by the wayside.
In our civilised !az*3s we hate bHndnesa
enough, the ratio fearfully increasing,
according to the statement
of European and American oculintev
because of the reading of morning and
evening newspaper* on the jolting cars
by the multitudes who live out of the
city and come in to business. But in
the Isnda where the Dirine surgeon
operated the cases of blindness were
multiplied beyond everything by the
particles of sand floating in the air,
and the night dews falling on the eyelid*
of those who slept on the top of
their houses, and in some of these lands
it is estimated that 20 out of 100 people
are totally blind. Amid all that
crowd of risionlees people, what work
for an oculist! And I do not believe
that more than one out of a bundled
of that surgeon's cures were reported.
That Is the oculist we-all need. Till
he touched our eyes we are blind.
Yea, we were born blind. By nature
we see things wrong, if we see them
at all. Our best eternal interests are
put before us, and we cannot see
them. The glories of a loving end
pardoning Christ are projected, and
we do not behold them. Or we have
a defective sight which makes the
things of this world larger than the
things of the future, time bigger than
eternity. Or, we are color blind and
cannot see the difference between the
blackness of darkness forever and the*
roseate morning of an everlasting
day. But Christ the Surgeon cornea
in, and though we shrink back, afraid
to have Him touch us, yet He puts
His fingers on the closed eyelids of
the soul and midnight becomes midnoon,
and we understand something
of the joy of the young man oi the
Bible who, though he had never before
able to see bis hand before bjs

Detroit, July 30.—The programme
ot the twenty-first bienniai meeting

and of the encampment .of the
nhiform rank of the order, to be held
n this city August 25 to September 1,
aas been completed. Maj. Gen. James
it. Carnahan, speaking of the outlook,
said:
"I am satisfied that the Detroit encampment
of the uniform rank will
be greater than any .ever held by this
order. In 'Milwaukee we had 16,000
men in camp, but my correspondence
with brigade commanders during the
past two weeks indicates, that the attendance
will go far beyond that figure."
The camp is to be located on attractive
grounds in the eastern part of the
sity, at convenient distance from Belle
isle. Field inspections. ..reviews and
Borapetitive drills will be witnessed on
the island. The city will be illuminated
and the order of Knights of
Khorassan are to give an electrical
tnd fireworks parade.
A Big Slcasfc Wm*m,

of St. Joseph, will- start a skunk
farm, and «s fast as the animals mature
they will be killed and sent to
market and sold for their hides. Mr.
Barnes will go .into the business on a
large scale. This will be one of the
few large skunk farms in thecoun
try, and will probably be a paying investment,
as the hide of the odoriferous
animal brings a big price from
the furriers.
