A correspondent Of the Lancaster Gazette,
writing from Millersport, says, Gov. Medill
appeared on the 18th of May ostcnsibly to
enjoy piscatorial visit to the reservoir,
but really to catch suckers by organizing a
Sag NicM lodge in that place. We call the
attention of our readers to the conclusion
Of the article:
Accordingly all things being in readiness
at the dead hour of midnight, or thercabout,
in company with the governor, we all re-
paired to the residence of our distinguished
fellow citizen, R., where we were formally
installed into all the arts, mysteries and
devices Of Sag Nichtism.
1t was, indeed, Mr. Editor, truly inter
esting occasion. There were just seven of
us present, to wit: Messrs. L., W., H., X,
M, w. and R. The governor and our fellow
citizens here will recognize us all at once,
but for the world hope they won't expose
us.
The governor gave us very grand and
impressive lecture upon the necessity of re-
deeming the Buckeye State this fall, and
have no doubt from the length of our faces
that he is fully satisfied that it will be done.
He exhorted us to persevere in the good auork
until the election was over. | have no
doubt we shall.
His excelency promised us another visit
between this and :he ides of October, at
which time you shall hear from me again.

Buck1NGHAM SMITH.-It is with pleasure
that we are enabled to announce a foreign
diplomatic appointment that will give sat
isfaction to the country Buckingham
Smith, Esq, it is stated, has received the
appointment of secretary of legation to
Spain. This gentleman. who is well known
to us, is every way fitted for his important
post, by his thorough knowledge Of the Span
ish language, his familiarity with the Span
ish character, his experience and tact as a
diplomatist, and for his extensive and criti-
cal knowledge of Spanish American history.
Mr.. Smith is a native of Florida, and
learnt the Spanish language in his childhood.
He was secretary of legation in Mexico un-
der Mr. Latcher, and for a year performed
the duties Of the minister to the entire sat
isfaction Of his government. The departure
Of no foreign diplomatist who ever lived in
Mexico was so much regretted as that Of Mr..
Smith, so universal was the respect enter
tained for him.
Among the treasures Of the EsCurial, Mr..
Smith will find enough to crafty his litera,
ry tastes, and we have no doubt that in the
field of literary research he will do as much
for the cause of letters as in diplomatic mat
ters for the great interests Of our county,

CURIOUS FACTS CoECERNING DY5P EPsIA.-
The effect of msntat disquietude in produ-
cling this prevalent complaint, is far greater
than is supposed. 1t is we'll known that
persons in good health, Of sound digestive
organs who take plenty of exercise, and are
free from anxiety, may eat almost anything,
and i'll quantities that would kill those in
different circumstances. In reference to this
point, DR.. Brigham, an English medical
writer observes: " We do not find dyspepsia
prevalent in countries where the people do
eat most enormously. Travellers in Siberia
say that the people there often eat forty
pounds of food in one day. Admiral Schrip-
chofT saw a Siberian eat directly after break
fast, 25 pounds of boiled rice, with pounds
of butter. But dyspepsia is not a common
disease in Siberia. We do not learn from
Capt. Perry or Capt. Lyon, the Arctic trav-
elers, that their friends, the Esquimaux are
very nervous and dyspeptic, though they in
dividually eat ten Or twelve pounds of solid
food per day, washing it down with gallon
or SO Of train oil. Capt. Lyon was, to be
sure. little concerned for delicate young
lady Esquimaux, who eat her candles, wicks
and all, yet he does not allude TO her ina
bility TO digest them.''

THE TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE IN J4rAN.-
The Shanghai (China) correspondent of the
New York Herald, under date of March 8,
gives the following particulars of the late
terrible earthquake in Japan He says
upon the arrival of the Powhatan at
Simoda, the pitiful effects of the earthquake
were visible ON all sides where last year we
left busy and thriving town, hardly yes
tige was lighthouses, temples, bridges, trees.
everything piled here and there in endless
confusion and irretrievable destruction
miles up the valley from the beach, new
masses Of ruin, shattered junks, piles OF
rubbish, broken furniture, masonry-every-
thing but the firm hill, dashed to fragments.
1t was pitiful sight; and moving among
all were the heart broken inhabitants, Ian
guidly collecting some old timber-some
broken pieces of once favorite home, or
relic of lost loved friend, or erecting from
the ruins miserable shelter for their tami-
lies.
This earthquake, as we gather from the
Japanese, has been felt over the whole island
of Niphon. On the 2lth of December, al
six o'clock P. NJ, thirty-four hours after the
destruction of Simoda, the sea rushed in the
same manner over the beautiful and wealthy
city of Osaka, said to be the most beautiful
in the empire, and totally destroyed it; the
shocks were but slight, and the first intima-
. ton that the inhabitants had of great dange,
was the fearful influx Of the sea. In YedC
bay, at Yedo, and the numerous adjacent
popuous towns, more or less damagc and
loss of life occurred but particulars are not

BANK OF THE STATE OF INDIANA.-We
understand, says the Indianapolis Sentinel,
that the commissioners appointed to divide
the state into bank districts, and locate the
branches permitted by the law, created six
teen districts and fixed upon the places
designated below. 1t will be seen that the
number of state bank districts is now six
teen, whereas, the law permitting the exist
ing Of the old bank limited them to thirteen.
The places additional to the old are Lima,
Connersyille and Jacksonville. The other
places are those containing the branches of
the old bank, with the exception of La Porte
and Plymouth. The following are the places
designated by the commissioners for the To-
cation Of the banks, viz:

WOMEN SHOULD sHUN MEN OF BAD CHAR
ACTER.-Did woman feel the responsibility
of the station she holds in society-did she
feel how much, she is the arbitress Of mans
destinies on earth, nay even beyond it, how
different would she act Instead of dis
pensing her smiles equally on the worthy
and unworthy she would show by her
discountenance Of vice how hateful it was
to her; no matter how talented man was,
how graceful his manners, or pleasant in
person, unless virtue was the guiding star Of
his conduct she would Danish him from her
presence as being unworthy Of breathing the
same air with her; she would shrink from
his society as she would shun noxious rep
tile. Is such the case? No! No matter
what mans vices, if he is handsome, bril-
liant in converse ton, and versed in the arts
of hattery, all the smiles and attentions are
lavished on him that ought to be bestowed
only on the virtuous; while the man who
is endowed with every good quality that can
render him estimable, if wanting in the
showy requirements of society, is treated
with the utmost Indifference thus giving
rise to the too generally received opinion
that, the worse man is, the more agreeable
he is to q woman. Can it then be wondered
at, that. to meet her in society, win her af-
lections by thousand nameless attentions,
and slight them when won, is the pastime Of

Anecdote Of John Adams.

John Adams, when be wa. President O

one Mattncw Lyon, q representative ir

we know, a most conSummate blackg
and the first Of the race that had ther
found their way to Congress, though tn,
breed has most sisnally increased within
the last half century.
Lyon affirmed with an oath that he ha
ted President Adams, and was often heard
to say that if he could only give him a
good tweak of the nose, he would die and
go to HI satisfied Mr.. ADAMS was
very fond of walking, AMI it was well
known that he almost every morning walk
cd from the President mansion to George
town brilge-a distance Of two and hall
miles. One morning in the month of June,
1899, as Mr.. Adams was taking MS usual
stroll, he was met by Lyon. who thas ac-
costel him:
You are tie President of the U. S.,
John Adams
Il am John Adams, native Of Brain
tree, Massachusetts, and the people of the
United States have elected me to the Office
Of Chief Executive Of the Union. l am,
sir. very much at yourseryice.'
Lyon, who was stalwart man, Of unu-
sualiy irascible temperament, war rather
taken aback by the cool and determined
manner of the President. and at first hesi-
tateA to proceed, but at length. summon
ing all his native reckessness TO his aid,
he drew himself into an attitude, and rude
ly vociferated- ...s..
We'll, sir, | am Matthew Lyon, a rep
rcsentative from the State of Vermont; and
it becomes me to tell you, sir, that you are
no gentleman
The question OF my gentility, sir re-
turned Mr.. Adams, is one that others than
myself must discuss; but lei me tell you
sir, that | allow no man to insult me with
impunity, whether | be John Adams,

'Siryou are puppy screamed Lyon.
and it is that tell you so.
At that instant, Mr.. Adams, who, in
following the fashion of the times, carried
orwore a long and very heavy gold headed
cane, raised it above his head and letting
tfall with the weight Of Sampson, laid
