Ida NAV.

The Portland Enquirer declares the
authoress of this admirable book to be
Mrs. Chas. Torrey, the widow of Charles
Torrey, the martyr. 1t says " In ma
king the announcement, We violate no
vow of secrecy, and we are unwilling
that our readers curiosity should be I'M
satisfied, especially that they should be
unnecessarily delayed in sharing with us
the qualification of knowing that TO the
widow of the lamented Torrey are they
indebted for this beautiful and powerful
production. To us there is more than a
poetic fitness and justice in this fact-it
is a most fitting and r~etributive provi-
dence."
The heroic Torrey died in prison, the
victim of slavery-a noble martyr in the
cause of human freedom. Most nobly
does his widow avenge him by this work
of genius and love. Mrs. Torrey's mai
den name was Mary Ide, daughter of
DR.. Ide, of Midway, Mass. She felicil-
ously names her literary offspring Ida
May, after herself, with a slight varia-
To woman'S genius do we owe two
Of the most succ ssful and splendid pro-
auctions of the day. Let the women of
Maine be proud of the fact, and by the
and circulation of such Anti-Sla-
works, and the wholesale agitation
hence resulting, do their part towards es-
.ablishing universal freedom in this and
every land.-Leader.

a Curious Fact.

The large quarto volume sent liberal
ly through the country by member Of
Congress, containing the Statistics o.
the United States-Census, 1885," has
on the 18th page various blank schedules
for the use of the Marshals and their
Deputies. The scheule numbered 9. is
entitled Slaves" and in it there is a col
umn headed Number of Stare Ornsrs."
In the instructions to Marshals and As
siStants, speciel directions are given to
return the nameso of the owners of Slaves,
and the number held by each individual
owner.
On looking though the statistics of the
several States We have been unable to
discover any such return as was order
ed by this schedule and these instructions.
Why is this Was no return made &?
We fully believe, nay we may say we
know that ample returns were made to
the ensus beureau of the number of
Slave owners and the number of slaves
held by each. The question arises, why
IS this important information suppressed?
Are W to look for the answer in the un-
favorable character of the information
embodied And was it for this and 9TH
er purposes thai Mr.. Kennedy was re-
moved as superintendent of the Census
Bureau, and Mr.. Du Bow appointed d?
Who shall answer. At all events, the
public of the Free States wants the infor-
nation suppressed. Will not some Mem
Der of Congress call for it ?-State Jour

Ohio Teachers Convention.

The annual meeting of the Ohio State
Teachers Association was held at Cincin.
natl on the 2sth ult. The press all over
the State is loud in its commentator Of
the usefulness and dignity of the Associa-
tion, which is unqueftionably the most
furnishing n of the kind in the country.
We have no room this week for an ex-
tended notice of the proceedings. We
notice that Mr.. JAMES MARVIN, the popu-
lar Superintendent of our Union Schools,
was chosen Corresponding Secretary Of
the Association for the coming year.
The State Phonetic Association held
its Convention in connection with the
above, and much important and interest
ing business was transacted.

The Home Journal.

The contents of the HOME JOURNAL arc
of a gay, graceful and piquant descrip-
ton, always changing, always agreeable,
and always light, spicy and sparkling.
After the cares of the day are over, a
number of the HOME JOURNAL is one OF
the most pleasant and refreshing things
imaginable. 1t differs in its whole scope,
design and appearance, from all other
journals published and we take great
pleasure in recommending it frequently,
because We al do so with a clear con-
science, and because its circulation pro-
notes a taste for sound and healthy liter
AZURE. Such a family newspaper cannot
well be overpraised and the support that
is given to it, both by the press and by The
public foreshadows the doom of much Of
the trash heretofore so extensively circu-
lated throughout the land, 10 the injury
of the taste and morals Of the whole conn.,
munity. We are very sincere in wishing
NORRIS and WILLIS abundant success in
their endeavors to establish a cheap and
vdluaHe misceHanyJo TOR HOME, which every
may welcome with pleasure and
read with profit. The HOME JOURNAL is
Just the thing which has long been wanted
for the parlor and the 6Oudor; and as ii
is, both in matter and manner, an honor
10 the press of the country, we hope TO see
it universally sustained. Every family
the land, with the least ~pretensicns 10
.asle and refinement, should subscribe for
1 at once. The terms are only W. dol
ars per year, and the Office of publication

Purchase of Foreign Territory.

There Is a strong game PLAYING al
washington, OF the true Galphin charac-
ter. The purchase ofthe Messilla Valley
OF Santa Ana, for ten millions of dollars,
as a measure of Governmental policy,
was unworthy of any administration that
ever before has directed our public affairs
1t lacked the first element of state sman-
ship, common ense. AS a purchase, get
ing value for money paid, it was beneath
The skill of a ho~rsejockey. But as a
fraud on the treasury and on the country,
IL was more respectable, and might be
termed magnificent. Seven millions were
PAID to Santa Ana, but the other three
never left the country, and probably
never will it vas unquestionably diyi-
ded among the kitchen cabinet and their
abettors, in and out of Congress. That
was the price paid for getting the measure
through. Every man who gave the pur-
chase his c~ountenance it is not at all I'M
likely was admitted into the secret. AID.
mIniStration and party influence did the
work for many. But the whole thing was
a fraud, and was well paid for.
Now we have The purchase of the Gal
apagos Islands, a barren group of some
thirteen, situated under the equator in the
Pacific. AT least so say the papers, and
for these We are to pay three millions of
dollars! Who divides the spoils in this
caseE Who IS the chief Galphin ? That
there is a fraud in this operation is evi.
dent enough, and it should be- The bust
ness of the House of Representatives to
probe the matter to the bottom. If their
Representatives fail of their dutv, the
people should not lose sight of the subject.
AT this rate the Treasury will soon be
emPtied into the pockets of the veriest set
oil rascals that ever lowered round a cor
ruPt government.-State Journal.

JAS. WARD d Co.'S ROLLING Mill
While at Niles, in this county, a few day:
since, we took occasion to go through
the extensive Iron establishment Of
JAMES WARD & Co., at hat place
Some additions to the Rolling Mill are
being constructed, to enable the propri-
etorS the more readily to meet the large
demands in the way of iron and nails
made upon them by the public. Not
w~ithstanding the hard times, the con-
Germ seems to be doing a thriving bust
ness. 1t now imploys in the mill, e1-
elusive of miners and teamsters, $50
hands; The amount of iron and nails
manufactured weekly averages IS tons.
The works are driven by two powerful
engines, and a third one is being con-
strdcted to sill further facilitate opera
tons. They dig their own ore, and man
ufacture their own pig iron, owning two
extensive furnaces for the latter per-
pOse-one at al Youngstown and the 9TH
er in Mercer Co. p. We are happy to
notice such evidences of prop rity on
the part of Trumbull County manufac-
lures.

A State Bank in Fact.

The late sale OF Ohio Stocks at Colum.
bus brought sufficient money into the
State Treasury to redeem every dollar
of the outstanding circulation of the Ca
nal Bank of this city, and ten thousand
dollars over. The surplus, of course,
will go to depositors. The Canal Bank
therefore, so far as money is concerned,
is a State institution, and for every dol
lar now in circulation another dollar is
actually in the Tresury.
The Capital City Fact says that the
Canal Bank money should be sent to the
Treasury. Our advise is to keep this
money in circulation, for when dollar
gets to the Treasury it is cancelled and
just so much money is Withdrawn from
circulation.
This case of Bank failure speaks loo
loudly to be misunderstood in favor of
the State Stock plan of Banking. The
day will never come when a better basis
for paper circulation can be found than
Federal and Ohio Stocks, and a better
basis never need be found. The credit
of the United States and of Ohio is good
as gold, and despite the ups and downs
of stCcks, and the occasional influence of
clears" in the money market, It is in
fact better than gold, for it cannot be
'taken and carried away Cleveland

HUMANITY IN The CITY.-We have re-
ceived a copy of the above new work and
read it with real pleasure. It is a series
of d~iscourses recently delivered in New
York by Rev. E. H. Chaplin, upon the
following subjects: The Lessons of the
Street; Man and Machinery; Strife for
Precedence The Symbols of the Repub-
lie; The Springs of Social Life; The
Allies of the Tempier: The Children of
the Poor; The Help of Religion.
Mr.. Chaplin has a peculiarly happy
style of speaking and writing, and the
light of a noble soul Eliminates all he
says and does. No one can read the
book before us without feeling the infu-
ence of that magnetic eloquence which
has earned for its author a high niche
among the orators of America. A tone
of pure morality and lofty thought per-
vades this book which makes one on bet
ter terms with human nature by showing
how noble may be its aims and aspira-
tons. Those who are not already ac-
quaipted with the writings of Mr.. C..
will find in this excellent volume an op-
portuaify to become so. Those who have
either listened to, or read anything of his
before viii need no urging to buy The
book. 1t contains an elegant steel por-
trait Of the author. One vol. II mo,

Speech of Mr.. Campbell.

We have received in the Globe Of We'd
nesday last, the admirable speech of Mr..
Campbell, of Ohio, in reply to Mr.. Ste
vens, of Georgia. 1t is a very able and
perfectly unanswerable production, DIS
cusslng many subjects of contest between
the North and South, and discussing
them all very thoroughly. Near the con-
c%lusion, Mr.. Campbell spoke as follows
MIR. Chairman, there is a North %
These election returns prove it. That
North m back to this Hall in the
next Congress to claim a redress of the
wrongs, and she will be backed by the
fair minded people of the South, who
never demanded the repeal of the Mis-
sour compromise. She will come, I
trust, with frmness, and with no dispo-
sltion to Justify n wrong by perpetra-
ting another. She will come, l hone.
with a determination to yindicate and re-
store her rights, and yet 10 maintain tho
majesty of the law. To me, sir, it will
be a proud spectacle when the unbroken
delegation of twenty.one members from
my native Ohio, approach that Speakers
desk to take the oath prescribed, and
pledge before their sovereigns to restore
that which has been so wantonly taken
away.
l am no prophet, have no vision in
the mists of futurty ; yet, sir, allow me
to predict that slavery never can become
a liked institution in Kansas and Nebras-
ka-I care not who may be sent as Del
egate, with power only to talk on this
floor. lf"God's LalC," upon which Dan
lei Webster based his celebrated speech
OF March Z, 1850, does not keep it out,
lndependendent of human action, "pop-
ular sovereignty" will make a law to do
nork. The free States will decree it
the friends Of Union, and peace, and har-
mony--the supporters of solemn compacts
IN the slave States will affirm the decree.

came SO much frightened that she

fed, and several neighbors arriving to
her assistance, found her helpless and i'm
