The Wag of the Detroit Free
Press.
U. P. Lewis is the wag of the
Detroit Free Press. During: the
past three years he has written
sonic of the finest touches of senti
ment :md human nature in his
police court proceedings that have
ever appeared in the United States.
Unlike Bailey, he did not inherit
his wit; unlike Mark Twain, it
did not conic to him through as
sociations. The truth is it was
blown into hint. He was an or
dinary, stupid country printer,
about Ann Arlmr nnd Lansing,
Mich., until he took it into his
head to go on a " tramp.” After
footing it to Louisville, he en
gaged to work his passage on a
steamer to New Orleans. The
first day out the steamer blew up.
Lewis, one of tho victims, was
sadly scarred and crippled, hut as
soon as he got able to write lie
sent an account of his experience
and sensation in being blown up
i to the Detroit Free Press, which
know of several old bachelors in our i at oucc established his reputation
midst who would like to make Macon
their residence, if the “ Viders” can
only he provided.
—As a Louisville girl was
taking leave of a gentleman at
her father’s house one evening re

as ti versatile genius. On his re
turn homo the Free Press took
him ou its columus as items man.
The leading editor said the other
day that he had to watch him like
a hawk, for about half the time,
like old Milton, he clings lovingly
to the flattest emanations ot his
braiu. Lewis writes a good deal

Malcolm Johnson, Secretary, col
lotted samples from the various
fertilizers, in quantities sufficient
tor analysis. Those samples were
placed in jars directly from the
sacks, and the jars securely closed
itnd numbered. The name or
brand of the different fertilizers
in the several jars, were only
known to Mr. Johnson, the name
or brand corresponding with the
numbers as within on the jars,
was recorded by the Secretary,
and the record so kept as to pre
vent any one having access thereto
without the knowledge of Mr.
Johnson. The jars containing the
samples were then delivered to
the Express Company hv Mr.
Johnson, and forwarded to Prof.
White, and were received l>v
Prof. White iu good order.
The analysis was made by num
ber of the jar, Prof. White not
having the name or brand of any
of the fertilizers, nor who were
the manufacturers, of cither of
them, Mr. Johnson never having
communicated the name or brand
corresponding with the numbers
to any one. The analysis of Prof.
White was made known to Mr.
Johnson, Secretary, who publish
ed the result. Jar number !>,
was found to contain the fertilizer
manufactured by th* Patapsco
company, and jar number 10, by
the Chesapeake.
The commercial value of Nos.
!• and 10 falling greatly below the
selling prices, aud not found to
contain the properties in quautity
as claimed b\ the manufactures, it
was charged by these companies
that they had been injured, and
unjustly dealt by. and by the Pa
tapsco company, that sample No.
!) had been adulterated, and was
not a fair sample. The charge
went further, and, by implication
charged Prof. White, with adul
teration. At the instance of the
Patapsco company, a meeting of
the undersigned, members of the
Executive Committee, was held
in their office, commencing on the
25th of January, 1875. The Pa
tapsco company were represented
by Colonel Arnold, attorney, and
by l)r. Liebig, Mr. Graffiti, and
Air. Gibbons. Prof. White was
represented by Col. AY. Leroy
Broun and by himself in person,
on the 2<ith. After a full investi
gation, giving the parties latitude
in their introduction and state
ment of testimony, we find, and
so declare, as our thorough and
unbiassed convictions, arising
from the evidence,
1st,
in jars Nos. 9 and 10, wore as
taken by Mi. Johnson,Secretary,
in the presence of the agents, the
same as analyzed by Prof. AYhite,
and that there was no adulteration
after they were taken from the
sacks, eiihcr before or after the
analysis.
Second. That Professor AA liite,
and the Faculty of the State Ag
ricultural College and Mechanic
Arts, acted in good faith in the
matter, and that they arc worthy
of the confidence and merit the
thanks of the State Agricultural
Society, and of the farmers of the
State, for their disinterested,
able, and gratuitous services—
a service yet to result in great
good to the Society and State.

Mr. Summers, who was sitting on the
steps in front. He accosted Sum
mers, as tlie owner of the residence,
and said :
“ I sec you have no lightning rods
on this house.”
“ No,” said Summers.
“ Are you going to put any on ?”
“ AYell", I hadn’t thought of it," re
plied Summers.
“ You ought to. A tall building
like this is very much exposed. I’d
like to run you up one of nty rods:
twisted steel, glass fenders, nickel-pla
ted tips, everything complete. A Lay 1
put one up to show you ? I’ll do the
job cheap.”
“Certainly you may ifyou want to.
I haven’t the slightest objection,
Summers.
Daring tlie next halt hour the man
had his ladders upntid his assistants at
work, and nt the end of that time the
jnh was done. lie called Hummers out
into the yar ! to admire it. He said to
Summers:
“ Now that is all well enough, but. if
it was my house, I’d have another
rod put on the other side. There is
nothing like being protected tlier-
oughlv.”
“ That’s true,” said Summers, “ it
would he hetter.”
“I'll put np another—shall 1?"
asked the man.
“ Why, of course, if you think it
best,” said Summers.
Accordingly the man went to work
again, and soon hail tlic rod in its
place.
“ That’s a firstrnto job, r he said to
Summers, as they both stood eyeing
it. “ I like such a matt as you are.
Big hearted, liberal, not afraid to put
a dollar down for a good thing.
There’s some pleasure iu dunlin' with
vou. I like you so much that I’d put
a couple more rods on that It >use, one
on the north end nnd one on tlic
south, almost for nothin.' ”
“ It would make tilings safer, I
suppose,” said Summers.
“ Certainly it would. I’il liettcr do
it, hadn't I — hey ?”
“Just as you think proper,” said
Summers.
So tlie man ran up two more ro h,
and then he ciiue down and said to
.Summers:
“ There—that’s done. Now let’s
settle up.”
“ I)> what?”
“ AVIty the job’s finished, nnd now
I’ll take mv money.”
“ You don’t expect me to pay you. I
I Itojte.”
“ Of course I do. Didn’t you teli
mo to put those rods on your hou<e?”
“My house!" shouted Summers.
“Thunder and lightning! I never
ordered you to put those rods up. It
would have been ridiculous. Why,
man, this is the court-house, and I’m
here waiting for the court to assemble.
I’m on the Jury. You seemed to be
anxious to rush out your rods, and as
it was none of mv business l let you
