During the period between 1840 and 1844 the village recovered from the lethargy which succeeded the specula- tive times of 1836, and made a steady and respectable growth, the population increasing to about 1500 in 1844. A notable event of the last-mentioned year was the advent of another newspaper, which was destined to a permanent existence, and to wield a prominent influence in literary and political circles among the enterprising journals of Michigan. It was christened the Michigan Telegraph. Its name was subsequently changed to Kalamazoo Tele- graph, and as such is published at the present time .*

The year 1844 was noted for the great political cam- paign in which the friends of Henry Clay made a last de- termined effort to elevate him to the first office in the gift of the American people. The campaign was possibly less demonstrative than the famous Tippecanoe campaign of 1840, but it was nevertheless a stirring one, and the Whigs of Kalamazoo were active until the November election de- stroyed all their high-born hopes, when the current of or- dinary life resumed its wonted channels. The following items are taken from an old record in the county clerk's office :

KALAMAZOO CLAY CLUB OF 1844.

This somewhat noted organization was formed by a num- ber of the old-time Whigs of Kalamazoo in the interests of Henry Clay, Whig nominee for President of the United States in 1844. It was organized on the 6th of March in that year, with the following officers: President, Amos Brownson ; Vice-Presidents, Anthony Cooley, Frederick W. Curtenius, Hosea B. Huston, David B. Webster; Sec- retaries, M. D. Cobb, Wm. G. Austin ; Executive Com- mittee, Ira Burdick, James Taylor, Luther H. Trask ; Committee to Draft Constitution and By-Laws, M. D. Cobb, D. B. Webster, Amos Brownson.

Francis March presented the club with the " Clay Min- strel," a national Whig song-book, and received their thanks for the gift.

Among the prominent members were F. Ransom, R. Wood, A. Brownson, Frederick Booher, Elisha Belcher, Joseph Hutchins, Lyman Kendall, N. Gibbs, Ira Burdick, Alexander Cameron, F. March, Jr., M. D. Cobb, R. Y. Clapp, Luke W. Whitcomb, Wm. G. Austin, Stephen But- ler, A. Cahill, S. Axtell, Jr., Horace Mower, H. B. Hus- ton, James Taylor, F. W. Curtenius, B. F. Orcutt, David S. Walbridge, L. R. Davis, Johnson Patrick, E. Hawley, G. T. Clarke, James Parker, D. Swayzee, and Thomas Lyon.

The club continued until the close of the campaign, which resulted adversely to the hopes of the supporters of the great American orator, when it is presumed to have disbanded, as we find no further record of its proceedings.

At a meeting held August 17, 1844, it was arranged to have a Whig mass-meeting at Kalamazoo on the following

10th of September, the aniversary of Commodore Perry's victory on Lake Erie, and, upon motion, "it was agreed that Benj. Jones be captain of the Whig Baby- Waker." This baby-waker was probably the gun used to stir up the enthusiasm of the people.

"Oh, for the good old days of old !"

The following racy sketch of the pioneer times we cut from the daily Telegraph of June, 1873. It was evidently written by one who knew whereof he affirmed, and its piquant, original style and spicy flavor make it highly worthy of preservation :

"PIONEER SKETCHES-KALAMAZOO IN '43 AND '44.

"I noticed in the last weekly (June 14th) an editorial headed 'Kalamazoo in 1844.' It is now within ten days of the time thirty years ago, that I first saw the beautiful vale wherein is nestled the largest and handsomest village, doubtless, in the world. There are many villages larger, but none as handsome. Taking the two quali- fications together, I do not believe they can both be possessed by any other place.

" You allude to the genesis of the Telegraph, and, by the way, allow me to suggest that it would be a very desirable matter if you or the Ladies' Library Association should make a thorough inquest the county through, and endeavor to save one or more copies of the en- tire issue of the old Telegraph, and also after it split and the Whig party endeavored (circus-like) to ride two papers at once, to the detriment of every one concerned with it.

" Miller was a Pennsylvania Dutchman, and, for a wonder, a staunch Whig, and after migrating to Northern Indiana, was concerned in the publication of sundry papers at Laporte, South Bend, etc., and tradition darkly hints at his being in partnership at one time with Colfax, the benignant.

" We had an uprising of the Whigs at Marshall, in July, 1844, and . also quite a gathering at the ' Soo' later in the season. Miller was on hand as usual, and proposed starting a Whig paper in the then Second Congressional district. The Whigs of the valley came pretty well up to the scratch, and, for the times, subscribed liberally to start the paper. Miller went to New York and bought a press and types for a common country office, and I think in September the first sheet was struck off in the little old wooden building you refer to on Portage Street, about two hundred feet from Main, and originally used by Dr. Starkey for an office. I was witness to the ushering into existence of the bantling, and carried off the first paper. Walking down to where your worthy horologist, S. K. Selkrig, was at work at some 'crown- wheel that was out of order,' I handed it to him and observed that it was all well enough, but the motto did not apply to this country. ''Tis not for Cæsar, but for Rome we strike,' was the legend at the top. 'Yes,' quoth Kelsey, in his usual cynical style ; 'must have something about Rome and the Romans in everything to make it pass.'

"That paper met with many shocks, and no good love pats, and finally went off in a blaze of glory at the burning of Hooker's store. It doubtless threw more light that night on the unwashed of Kala- mazoo than ever before. In fact, the Telegraph, proper, should count its years from twenty-nine years ago.

" Are a few ' remissences,' as a Kalamazoo jurist used to term them, out of place? I will write them of that year and of forty-three also, premising that I have not a scrap of a note to go by, but only a mind that is yet unscathed by wear of time.

"That year, 1844, was a dull one and no mistake. Wheat was low, and it took all it was worth to team it to Jackson to strike the rail- road. If it had not been for the political matters a regular Sleepy Hollow atmosphere would have brooded over the town.

" Walbridge was the main spoke in the wheel. His flat-boats floated on the beautiful river, whose waters here flowed only to minister to the delights and comforts of man. The money he expended for wheat and boats was about all the circulating medium there was. Clapham kept where he held out so long, just east of Portage, and March & Weeks sailed the ' Old Brig,' next east. The post-office was kept there, and it was handy, for there were but few buyers on the raised part of the floor, at the back end of the store, and each person went and helped

himself. West of Clapham's was a one-story building, in which a few groceries were kept by F. Clark, or, rather, Wm. McAllister. Jim Wal- ters occupied the 1} story, corner of Portage and Main, as a grocery. This place is remembered by old ones as being the one once occu- pied by Caleb Sherman. Caleb was a master hand at sleeping, and the mad wags of the village one night boarded up his windows, to prevent the 'garish light of day' from breaking his sleep, which threatened to equal the sleep of the youths of the cave. It is said he slept over till next day, which made little odds, as the porter of a hotel at Sturgis told the writer, when he asked him at about 8 o'clock of a July morning as to when the people got up, and when he could have breakfast, ' they are in no hurry to get up, and nothing to eat when they do,' was the sententious reply. So with Caleb; he had naught to do when up, and might as well lie a-bed as not.

" East of the ' Old Brig' was Edwards' provision-store, kept by H. I. H., a second Daniel Lambert, and withal terribly afraid of the ladies. A box of herring, some home-made pies, a few pipes, and you have about his inventory of stock.

" The brothers Sheldon (T. P. & C. A.) kept a usual country store next east, and then came the unfortunate and roaming Billy Booher, who anxiously cried to be blowed out when his scheme of drying wet powder became 'nix' by the explosion of the pestiferous saltpetre. ' Blow me out,' was his agonized exclamation. Poor fellow ! he suf- fered about all a person can, and yet his obstinacy was the cause of it, as he refused an amputation. Part of the time in '43 and '44 Booher's place was occupied as a bowling-saloon by Joe Hutchins. Joe used to get up coolers of the most fragrant and best flavored. There was a village law against nine-pins, so he substituted a tenth ; and as he kept a ' quiet place' no complaint was made against him.

" Next door to Joe's and east thereof was a two-story building, or rather, to be precise, a story and three-quarters, built by Deacon Bush, a disciple of Crispin, who died some little while previous. His widow resided in the back part, which was planned as a dwelling with cham- bers aloft. The store at this time was occupied by Walker & Co. as a bookstore. It did not require a heavy stock or much of an assort- ment to satisfy the people in 1843-44, and the ' company' got dis- gusted, and went into the book business in Buffalo. Walker was a very enthusiastic person, and could see no reason why he could not trade off books for wheat and flour, and send them East, and thus become a magnate among the busy ones of Long Wharf, Buffalo, or Front Street, New York; the only transaction of the kind, however, which he entered into was to take about a bushel of chessy red wheat, full of cockle, etc., which he carefully stored in the building till he would have enough for a flat-boat. Time passed on. Walker sold out to Selkrig and went to Southport, and the 'company,' Mr. A. J. Sheldon, came on from Buffalo in '45, and took the stock off Selkrig's hands, as he couldn't carry on the business. This famous wheat in all these mutations yet remained in store. Selkrig got married, and one day there was a cry for bread in the land. There were no flour-stores to run to and order XXX, but yet flour was generally a triple treat. So, bethinking himself of the wheat, the distinguished horologist went where the wheat was; the pile was much 'diminished and brought low' by the active exertions of numerous rodents, who, however, left reminders to pay for the spoliations. Kelsey swept it all up into an oil-cloth bag that had seen a great deal of camp-life, and slinging it over his shoulder, started for Leverett Whitcomb's. He wore a calico loose eut, and as he gayly stepped off, his parti-colored Indian gar- ment fluttering in the wind, he passed the extreme angle in the street by Gray's shop, and vanished from sight, the flutter of the extremest rag of calico being the last seen for some time,-but he returned before a great while, and there was rejoicing, for there was bread in the land.

" I did not mean to intrude so long an episode on my readers, but history must not be added to or taken from, though we know it to be false. So we pass, after saying adios si signor to P. S. Grimes, who had a studio over the bookstore, and painted houses or portraits with cqual skill. Pembroke gave his boots to Geo. Bishop-next east, a queer little cordwainer, who worked in his house, and made money, too-to mend, and his tub not being large enough to soak them in, the story ran that he put them in Walbridge's mill-pond, and so in- jured the flow of water, by the boots absorbing so much, that Walbridge threatened him with a lawsuit. Pem. could paint well, and he painted a full-length picture of the writer and had but two sittings, and the writer wishes he could get hold of the picture, but knows not what became of it.

"On the corner of Main and Edwards Streets, O. Davenport had two stores, and McNair set up a drug store in one of them. Between Davenport's wooden block and Bishop's was an open lot, at the rear of which, and facing on Edwards Street, was J. R. Mansell's house. McN. was notorious for his blunders of speech, inasmuch as he could not open his mouth without putting his foot in it. He was famous for discussing that the 'plumage of the trees of America and the foliage of the birds exceeded in a great degree those of 'ome.'

"Opposite to Davenport's, Milf. Joy pretended to keep a tin-store, which resemblance was borne out by some old rotary cooking-stoves and battered tin ware. A wire stretched from O. D's to Joy's, doubt- less for necromantic purposes, though a very old citizen thought a banner was dependent therefrom in the hard cider times of 1840. Joy was never known to overwork, or so rarely that his work could never have been assessed; but Mr. Gubby, a half Lower Canada Frenchman, half Vermonter, and the other halves, as many as you please more, of the Ottawa race, once in a while lighted a fire and tinkered a little,-that is, if there was no good duck-shooting on the river, for Ike was a shootist of the first water, though belonging to no club. No business was east of Edwards Street, though A. B. Grey bad a blacksmith-shop and no customers. This and two hotels divided the joint patronage of 'Clipknockie.'

"Westward, in cities as in empires, the star of empires takes its way ; but we meet with no business places till we come to Potter's little tin-shop, in which he and an apprentice, Gale, launched their tin-y boat,-no pun, I assure you. To what a huge leviathan it has grown since! and he has become an Hon., and honors are heaped on both, and wealth is laid up for the days ' when the grinders shall cease and the grasshopper be a burden.' James Green faithfully worked in Bill Stuart's harness-shop. What a pity that to one like him, who could appreciate books, who could live with the authors o'er and o'er again, who could profit by, and delighted to revel in the life- blood of master spirits embalmed and treasured up to a life beyond life, should be debarred in a great measure that communion with the fathers of the English language which, to a student, to a lover of books, is more than life itself; it is a life beyond life, for it is you and others' souls commingled and made as one! Rollin Wood kept a sar- torial- and justice-office in a 16 by 20 one-story building, next east of the Kalamazoo House, and doubtless it was on account of the excel- lence of his sartorial measures and the correctness of his judicial de- crees that the hay-scales were afterwards located there. They answered for the scales of justice, but justice itself, as it should be, was not ' dis- pensed with,' as Mrs. P. saith, and so we pass to Foster & Fish's store and east of Stuart's. Evits tinkered watches, and Sweet, his son-in- law, tinkered 'shooting wepons.'

"Space forbids us now to discuss all the other parts of the business centre of Kalamazoo, but that can be done in another paper. Where but little was done there could be but little to result, and it is ques- tionable if anything could have been set down as of any historical value if D. S. Walbridge had not run his flat-boats and caused wheat to have an appreciable money value. White wheat at 44 cents, and paid in store-truck, was not a very great inducement to farmers, but that is about how it was at this time. The touch of the railroad, the first whistle, which on Sunday, Jan. 26, 1846, echoed throughout the vil- lage, awoke its inhabitants to newness of life, which, we trust, will never be palsied or impaired. From that time the motto has been 'onward.' Like the trained soldier, the even step is kept, and the shoulder-to-shoulder discipline, that which makes a brave man of a coward, is here noticeable. In many places the motto is every one for himself, but here it is the reverse. So may it ever be! and may it continue to be a village, for the moment it becomes a chartered city that moment a curse will have fallen on the place and the people become plagued with moral pestilence; and fraud, dishonesty, and rascality will immediately invade the heretofore hallowed precincts devoted to religion and the graces which adorn and beautify a Chris- tian people."

The year 1845 is chiefly noted in the history of Kala- mazoo for the famous " Fourth of July" celebration, which took place, however, on the 5th, as the nation's natal day fell upon the Sabbath. In commemoration of that day we append a characteristic and happily-written sketch by A. D. P. Van Buren, Esq., which appeared in the columns of the Telegraph a few years since :

229

VILLAGE OF KALAMAZOO.

"THAT GLORIOUS FIFTH.

" HOW IT WAS CELEBRATED IN 1845.

"An account by one who was there and tasted the 'Lemonade.'

"'Hans Breitman gif a barty, Where ish dat barty now?'

" As the 4th of July, in 1845, came on Sunday, the people of Kala- mazoo selected Saturday, the third, on which to celebrate our national birthday. This was called the ' cold-water celebration' by those who were displeased with it, and who afterwards held another one, on Monday, the '5th of July, which, in contradistinction to the former, was called the ' hot-water celebration.'

" Of this celebration we purpose now to write. The 5th of July, 1845, will long be remembered by the old citizens of Kalamazoo. You have now only to mention the ' 5th of '45' to an old townsman, and you wake up reminiscences in his mind that will set him aglow with the desire to narrate the deeds, incidents, and adventures of that eventful day. Those 'deeds' have never been chronicled, and in our attempt now to give them to the public we can only write of the meagre part we remember. So many of those ' adventures'

"' Have gone glimmering through the dream of things that were'

that we shall ever regret their full history had not been written down on the spot. But so it is. The day had its Achilles, but no Homer to sing of it.

" The leading event of that day began thus: some time during the early forenoon a knot of townsmen had assembled in Jim Walter's grocery, when D. E. Kendall, taking the cue from a remark of some one about ' treating to a drink,' ' passed the hat round' to see how much money he could raise to 'get up' a pitcher of lemonade. He succeeded finely. A pitcher-full of that beverage was made and soon drank up. As this enterprise had got noised about in the streets, others continued to drop into the grocery, and the hat was passed around the second time, when enough money was raised to make a pail-full of this beverage. This was soon swallowed and the ' hat' put upon its passage again, when so much money was raised that it was proposed to get a large Patent Washtub, fill that, and adjourn to Tom Sheldon's door-yard,# that beautiful sloping lawn just across the way from the old Kalamazoo House. Kendall said, as he passed the hat round the third time, that he could raise money enough to buy out half of Kalamazoo. The tub was filled, and, on the sly, high-wines from Clapham's cellar had been mixed in with the lemonade. This made the drink more palatable than

"'Lucent sirops tinct with cinnamon.'

"On arriving at the campus a thorough organization was effected . by electing the proper officers. Bill Stewart was put in as tubmaster- general, whose duty was to deal out the drink by the glass ; sentinels were stationed at the gates opening into the grounds; runners were sent out into the streets, along the hedges, ways, and by-lanes, to solicit recruits, with the express orders to bring all in, 'peaceably if they could, forcibly if they must,' and conduct them to the tub, where, if they drank, they were considered initiated ; if they refused to drink their heads were ducked into the tub, as a penalty, till they would drink. Fcw, of course, refused, because it was much more agreeable to drink than to be ducked.
