A man in Philadelphia recently mar
ried a woman under the impression that
she had the dimes, but when he found it
was not so, he complained before the
Mayor, and prayed for relief. The fol.
lowing are the facts elected before the
police court:
Asman with pair of whiskers, or
rather pair of whiskers with something
family resembling a man attached to
them. appeared before the municipal
bench with an accusation against Glenn
entine Derby. otherwise Millet. who, az
cording to the affirmation of the COM
plainant, Abraham Milei, had swindled
him out Of his personal freedom by in
ducing him 10 marry her. the said Glenn
entine, who proved afterwards, on close
inspection, to be a mere bundle of false
pretences. Abraham, the man Of whis-
kers, had become acquainted with Miss
Derby at a reputable boarding house,
where the lady had fixed her temporary
residence. She had fine suit of brown
hair charming teeth. and due proper
tion Of roses and lilies in her complex
ion, an innocent maidenly countenance,
a good figure and fortune Of forty thou
sand dollars, including a rice plantation,
stocked with ninety-ihree negroes. some

fractions were visible 10 Mr.. MilIet. but
the rice grounds and the negroes had
never been seen by him; they were
merely objects OF faith. therefore Miss
Clementine gave him such particular
account of the property. the real estate
especially, that Abraham was quite sat
isfied with its reality.
After rapid coudship they were mar
ried; and then, said vr. Millet, 81 found
her out" Her fine hair was merely a
wig, and when this was of. her head
was as naked as a sandy desert; an un-
vegetated Sab ra, without a single oasis.
Her charming teeth were all porcelain;
her roses and lilies chalk and carmine;
her exquisite figure, cotton wad1ing; snt
as for her "maidenly innocence" OBJ

looks prodigiouslv like he had African
blood in him. Still" said Mr.. Millet,
pursuing the subject. "the thought ofthe
rice plantation out south. and the ninety
negroes afforded me some comfort; but
it want long before | discovered that
this plantation was so confoundedlv far
"out SOUTH" that there was no coming
at it: and as for her niggers, guess she
has none, except that little fizzly head
ed chap that calls her "mammy." 81
pity your case, Mr.. Millet." said the
Mayor, "but we can do nothing Tor you.
Your own imprudence brought you into
this predicament. You we're in such
hurry TO secure your fortune that You
have got bit " "Yas." answered Abra-
ham, "hit indeed. and that by a woman
that hasn't tooth in her head that she
can call her own; for the dentist she
bought them from never was paid for
them" "Seitling that bill is a privilege
that will belong 10 you,'' said his hon.

I GOVERNMENT OF CHiLDREN.-An-
ticipaie and prevent fretlulness and
i'll temper by keeping the children in
good health, ease, and comlort.-
Never quiet by giving TO eat, or by
bribing in any other way, still less By
opiateS.
For the first few months, avoid
loud and harsh sounds in the hearing
Of children. or violent lights in their
sight; address them in soit tones; do
nothing to frighten them; aud never
jerk or roughly handle them.
Avoid angry words and violencs
both to child and in its presence;
by which means a naturally violent
child may be trained TO gentIeness.
Moderate any propensity Of a
child; such as anger, violence, gree
diness for food, cunning, which ap-
pears too active. Show him no ex-
ample OF these.
Let the mother be, and let her
select servants such as she wishes
the child 10 be. The youngest child
is affected by the conduct OF those in
whose arms he lives.
Let a mother feel as she ought,
and she will look as she feels. Much
of chid's earliest moral training is
By looks and gestures.
When necessary, exhibit frmness
and authority, always with perfect
temper, composure and seli-posses~
sion.
Never give child that which il
cries for; and avoid being too ready
ia answering children's demands;
else they become impatient Of re-
Iusal. and selfish.
When the child is most violent,
the mother should be the most calm
and silent. Out screaming a scream
ing child is as useless as il is mis-
Ihievous. Steady denial Of the
object screamed for, is the best cure
for screaming.
In such contests, witnesses should
vithdraw and leave the mother and
child alone. A child is very ready
TO look around and attract the aid Of
foreign sympathy in its little re-
belliOns.
Never promise TO give when the
child leaves off crying. Let the
crying be reason Tor not giving.

CANNELToN CoAL.-We are glad
TO see the following in the CanneIton
Qndl Express. There is no finer
coal for ocean steamers or river
steamers or for anv other purpose
than that which is supplied from the
mine OF l.. d. Siickney & Co.:
Lou. Journal.
The steamship Cherokee, on her
last voyage, took $50 tons Of our
coal from the mine worked by
Messrs. L. ID. Stickney & Co. The
engineer Of the ship reports that he
got up steam with this coal one hour
sooner than with any he ever used
before, and that the run TO Havana
was made several hours quicker than
the usual time.
When the ocean steamers have
become accustomed 10 this open
burning coal and have adapted their
crate bars and furnaces TO its use,
they will give it a decided preference
TO any other variety.
This market for our great staple
will soon become Of immens impor-
lance 10 US.

THE PRESENT.

Look not forever forward,
With anxious heart and eve,
But heed, with watchluI earnestness,
The moments as they fly.
He, who upheld thee in the past
Will leave thee moi alone,
So, let the future rest in hope.
But make this hour thine own.
What If sad memory whispers
Of wasted days and hoursf
And for the fruits that should be thine,
Brings only withered flowers!
The moments spent IN vain regret
Might yield a nobler store;
The present is the working time,
The past returns no mere.
Cet neither memory nor hope,
With dreams thy soul beguile.
Th. present only has fhe power 81.
To make the future smile.
So work for truth, for goodness,
% Ere the passing hour be flown,
: The past, the future, leave 10 God,
The present is thine own.

contend for the supremacy in useful
ness and all practical gocd--a rivalry
that must tend TO benefit mnkind and
engender a spirit Of friendly inter-
course among all the nations of the

To the Democracy of Meigs county, citizens
generally, and ladies particularly: Notice has
Just been received from the State Central Com
mittee, appointing Thursday, September 80, fol
addresses to be made to the people of Melgs, by
COL. DAVID TODD and LIEUT.. GOV. ME-
DILL. We regret that the day is the same upon
which our county Fair is to be held; but, as the
appointment cannot now be changed, and know
ing that our farmer friends are deeply interested
in the fair; and knowing also, that very many
cannot forego the pleasure of seeing and hearing
our distinguished friends, we have therefore con-
cluded to appoint some suitable location in the
vicinity of the Fair Grounds, at Crock Spring."
so as not to disturb the deliberations of our highly
distinguished Society, in which we should all
feel deep and abiding interest BY this arrange
ment, our friends can accomplish the double pur-
pose of seeing all at the fair, and hearing good
Democratic speech, which we trust will! offend
none, but enlightsn many. Il. B. SMITH,

Gentle Eva.

BY MRe. RS. NICHOLS.
Have you heard the touching story,
Told so sadly of that cline
Where the Rose in crimson glory
Brightens all the summer time:
1t tells us of maiden
Golden haired and starry eyed
Young in years, by thought o'erladen,
Who in angel beauty died.
Gentle Eva, loving Eva,
Sleeping by the sobbing wave,
Wall or wo shall never grieve her,
Shrouded in her messy grave.
Once she wept DER wrong and sorrow
Childish tears so wisely shed.
Birds of Eden on the morrow
Warbled dirgeS o'er her head.
Velvet leaf and snowy blossom
Crowned her young and radiant brow,
O'er her white, unheaving bosom
Little hands are folded now.
Gentle Eva, loving Eva,
Sleeping by the moaning tide,
Never more shall sorrow grieve her,
Who in angel beauty died,

We were apprehensive that their main object
was to possess themselves of our oxen and prop
erty, and lest some other travellers might chance
to be coming along, they did not like to risk it in
daylight. About half an hour before got shot,
] heard the footsteps of some animal coming to-
. ward US, down along the road from the direction
in which the Indians stood, and awoke my COM
panion and told him what had heard; and in a
short time it came sufficiently near to discover
what it was. 1t proved to be mule, and it trot-
ted by us, being very close to US when it passed.
This my companion desired TO catch; but told
him to desSt, for l believed it to be decoy, to
induce us to leave our wagons in pursuit of it,
and Istill believe that to have been the design;
but finding that it did not succeed, and despair
ing of obtaining their main object, namely, our
oxen and property, in any other way, their next
resort was to kill; but finding that was able to
jump up, they were afraid to approach us closer,
and perhaps they fed Immediately. tits obvious,
however, that nothing earthly saved our lives,
except their ignorance Of our defenceless situa-
ton.
We remained there till some time after daylight,
when, after searching about for the enemy fol
some time, we fastened our oxen to our wagons,
and proceeded on our journey; and although our
road then led Immediately through heavy and
nick forest yet we were not moested further.
My arm by NOR ming had become useless, but !
could manage to drive the team with one hand.
The road was, however, very mountainous and
bad and we had to drive 10 miles to lllinoistown,
the place of destination. We, however, accom-
plished the journey that day, and arrived safely
with our goods. While there, physician dressed
my arm, and after obtaining tolerably good
nights rest, was able to start home the next
morning. We arrived al Sacramento City on the

OBITUARY..

Died, of paralysis, on the evening of the 10th
of September, at his residence in Salem township,
Meigs county, Ohio, Mr.. EZEKIEL Conner, in the
sixty-Seventh year of his age.
The deceased was an intelligent colored gen.
tleman. He was born in the state of New York,
April 49, 1856, and reared by and in the family Of
the late Major Burlington, of Worthington, Mas
sachusettS, with whom he continued to live until
he was forty-two years Of age. Being an indus
trious and faithful servant, Major Burlington con-
veyed to him by deed the land he then owned in
Ohio, which embraced nearly one share in the
"Ohio Companys purchase" and he emigrated
to Ohio about the year 1880, and settled tempora-
riy at Marietta, where he married, and subse-
quently he moved to, and settled on one of his
tracts Of land, in Salem township, MeigS county,
where, by industry and perseverance, he acquired
a fine property, and established for himself arep-
utation for promptnesS sobriety, intelligence, and
industrious habits attained by but few. 1t will,
oubtlesS, be source of consolation to his friends,
especially those he left behind in 'the land Of
steady habits" to know that, although nature
had placed upon his lineaments the impress Ct
the Ethiopian, he received during his sickness and
burial, such marked and strict attenton-spirit-
ual professional, and otherwise, as would have
honored the fairer complexion of an Anglo-Saxon.
He leaves widow, three daughters, and one son

Home Picture.

by MRS. FRANCIS D. GAGE.
Ben Fisher had finished his harvesting
And he stood by the orchard gate,
One foot on the rail, and one on the ground,
AS he called to his good wife-KATE.
There were stains of toll on his wamus red,
The dust of the field on his hat
But twinkle of pleasure was in his eye
As he looked at his stock so fat.
"Iere, give me the baby, dear Kate, you are tired,
fear you have too much care,
You must rest, and pick up little, l think,
Before we go to the fair -a-i, .-. ID. IS. =
I'd hate to be taking fat oxen, you know,
Fat hogs, and fit sheep, and fat cows,
With wife at my elbow as poor as a crow,
And care wrinkles shading her brow.'
"Cant co." did you say3 Cant afford the ex-
penSe,"
l know, Kate, our crops amt the best,
But we've labored together to keep them along,
And together wen now take rest.
The orchard is bare, but old brindle is prime,
And Lily and Fam are a show,
Your butter and cheese can't be beat in the state,
So up to the fair we will go.'
'Iou've ne'er seen city, and Cleveland is fine,
Meier seen the blue, bllowy Lake,
Ne'er rode in a railcar, or been in throng
So Kate, this journey we'll take,
And gather new feelings, new thoughts, and new
ways,
If we find those that suit; as we roam,
And garner up strength, with our heads, hearts,
and hands,
For the love and the duties of home.
81 have sometimes thought, Kate, as plodded
along,
For months Ger the same weary round,
That fellow who had such a really hard time,
In Ohio nowhere could be found,
But when Pye been called from my home for
awhile
And seen how the rest get along
Pve come back to my toll with light cheerful
heart,
And "there's no place like home," was my song.
"l wonder that mothers don't wholly despair,
Who ne'er from their cares get away,
But walk the same tread-wheel of duty for years,
Scarce stopping to rest night or day.
don'twonder they grow dscontented sometimes,
That their feelings grow raspy and cold,
For toll never-ending, and labor uncheered,
Makes wonderland MEN-Sometimes scold."
