even e realer than in IFS political affairs. In

considerably disappointed. and would eau,
ton others how they indulge Too largely in

uisiles for happiness and wealth are needed
here as in any other portion OF the globe.
The air is composed of the same gases,
and the sweat Of the brow is required 10
cause the earth 10 bring forth its fruits in
due season. The climate has been most
misrepresenied. Instead of an eternal Spring
here, we have found 'el otrG cosa,' as the
Spaniards say. When we arrived at San
Francisco, in March, The weather was as
bleak as on the Atlantic coast al the same
season, and during a stay of three weeks, il
was constantly cold and ioggy. A sharp
cutting wind slows into the harbor at all
seasons of the year, which renders resi-
dence there very uncomfortable. Since we

has thus far been clouded in mist and fog.

Franklin County, related TO us, some years since
the following anecdoteN6f Gev. Corwin, which we
do not reccollect to have ever seen in print.
At the time the Wagon Boy" was first sent to
the Legislature by the good people of Warren, he
found law on the Statute book, providing for
the punishment of certain offences by public
whipping. 1t was no unusual thing, at that day,
to whipping post in every Court House yard,
where whenever occasion required, the stealers Of
pigs and chickens were drawn up BY the Sheriff.
and receivad thirty -nine ashes on the bare back,
well laid on" Tom was made Chairman of the
Judiciary Committee in the House and being as
is well known, man who is dead set against all
such relics of barbarism public whipping forth
with brought in bill to repeal the aforesaid en-
actment.
This bill met with considerable opposition from
the "Old Hunkers," among whom one old
gentleman from the Western Reserve, who was
particularly Mortified at the idea of repeating what
he termed the wisest and most practical enact
mcnt in our whole criminal code.
Corwin made an eloquent speech when the ques-
ton Of engrossment was before the House appeal
ing to the members, rs Christian Legislators and
enlightened frcemcn Of the nineteenth century,
to come up and erase this relic of the dark age,
from the Statute Book of the great republican
State of Ohio. He took his seattle House COM

the gentleman has SO eloquently given utterance
to. But that is not the thing. We must look at
the matter in practical light Now l can give
one illustration in favor ofmy side Of the question:
that will entirely upset all the gentlemans fine
spun theories You know, Mr. Speaker, 1 was
born and raised in the State of Connecticut A
law similar to this has been for years in force in
that State, where its effects most salutary.-
You once expose rascal to the ignominious dis
grace of public whipping, and he clears out
leaves the State, and you never troubled with
him afterwards. Out of hundreds have known
to be whipped there. never knew one of them to
show his face in that community afterwards
The old gentleman sat down satisfied that his
practical ILLUSTRATION" was a elm :her, and would
kill the BILL Corwin arose very gravely and re-
Marked
II have often endeavored, Mr.. Speaker, to solve
the question why there was such an immense en-
igration from Connecticut to the West, but always
until now, without success. The gentleman has
explained it to my entire satisfaction"

Mr. Wright, in the year 1911, as a fellow
student, and The continued and uninterrup-

after, he was most deeply moved. He spoke
