Cleveland PIaindeaIcr-A CALLED iado
The Cleveland Hlaindeaier, a paper which
so far as Ashland county is concerned, ha
ceased to exist"-having no circulation her
land a paper, consequently. which we neycl
see, has, as We learn through the Clevelant
Democrat, been discharging some of its char
acteristic~ blackguardism at us.
This is all very natural and proper in GRAY
The fact is, he has been suffering for some
time from a putrid sore head, which has as
sdmed a chronic fern. Old Buck could "drive
in" all the sores on GRAY's head in two min
utes. But the difficulty in the way is, that as
soon as the forage would be removed, the dis
case would "Jaast out" again in a more disgust
ing form than before.
During the few intervals that GRAY's head
has been comparatively well, we have got along
very happily with him.
Originally, GRAY established his paper to
oppose the radical Democracy of Ohio, and was
the superservicable tool of those who were seek
ing sale of the Democratic party to a clique of
insolvent and breaking bankers. In 1874
GRAY and his little clique engaged in an in
trigue to place Col. TOP, then tie able and
honest standard-bearer of the Ohio Democracy,
in a false position, and having partially succeed
ed, sought to defeat him.
During Mr.. Folks Administration, he
gathered up his few traps and passed over into
the ranks of The Abolitionists, and remained in
their camp during the entire term Of that
great and good man, the most violent and red
mouthed Abolitionist in all Cheesedom.
In 1913, he either deserted the Abolition
lists, or was kicked cut for his lies and black
guardism, We were never precisely able to IN
derstand which, and then joined the Democrat
&c party. Having been appointed Postmaster
by President Pierce, he might have published
a consistent renloerati tic paper during that Pres
idential term, had he not embraced Spiritual
and kindred "isms,' and made the P1ata-
d.aler more the organ. Of those miserable hum
bugs than of the Democratic party.
When Mr.. BUCHANAN was inaugurated, he
made an oath of fealty to him and sued for q
continuance of his official head. To others,
however, he threatened that in case the Presi-
dent refused to continue him in Office, lie would
return to the Abolitionists or join the fortunes
Of some disappointed politician who would
worry the Administration and the Democratic
party. The President notified Mr.. Gray that
successor would be appointed at a propertime.
Mr.. G. wenthome 'fscreeching" like a scared
1migrant Aidman, and when Anti-Lecompton-
SIN was born he naturally slid ito his political
rave. Requiescat an pace This Gray nag

EI+A few days since a drove of gray SOUR
rels, numbering hundreds of Thousands, sud
denly made their appearance on the Merimac.
near St. Louis, covering the trees and waters
like a pail. Thousands of them were after
wards found dead in the river and on the
ground. They crossed the Mississippi at that
point, and worked their way down The river,
till on Wednesday they reached Cape Girar-
desu, crossing the river at that point in count
less myriads. Their route was marked as by
a devastating storm. Trees we're cir He'd and
fields destroyed. Old French settlers predict
a very severe winter, as it was noticed in '34
and 90 that immense droves of squirrels sud
denly made Etheir appearance, followed by in
tensely severe weather.

How the Thing was done in vcrEaiIIion
Vermillion township defeated the Demo
cratic candidates for Senator and Commission
err. The Democracy of that township, I'M
fortunately, were not organized. On the con-
trary, the Republicans of Vermillion were neY-
or so well organized and so active. One of the
extraordinary means, as we are credibly inform
ed, which were resorted to By the Opposition
leaders, was to mutilate every Democratic tick
ct they could obtain possession Of, by erasing
the names Of CANTwELL and AMEs and sub
shutting those of GLASS and PococK. Many
of these tickets, it is supposed, were voted by
Democrats under the erroneous impression that
they were voting the fall Democratic ticket.
In other and numerous instances, the fraud ap-
peared to have been detected, as the names of
the Democratic nominees which had been
erased, were restored.
Triumphs achieved bysuch means arc short
lived.

The Republicans have succeeded in electing
their whole State Ticket, but by majority
considerably reduced as compared with last

others upon the ticket only being successful by

+tre Democracy of this county, and particularly
to that numerous class who remained at home.
We have never known Democrats so free in
their self-reprcaches as those we have met since
the election. In almost every township we
have met those who now say, "why, had we
anticipated the least danger, VIC eouldhavc saved
CANTwELL and AMEs by a little labor in our
township"
The truth is, the opposition caught our sen
tinels asleep upon their posts-a circumstance
that is net likely to occur again, we hope, dr-
ring several decennial periods.
The Opposition in this Congressional Dis
trict concentrated all their efforts in this cou1-
ty. Mr.. BLAKE, their candidate fer Congress,
gave more time to this county than to all the
other three counties in his District. Mr.
HARM, of Wayne county, was employed and
paid to go through the county preaching Black
Republicanism from tie pulpit and the stump.

and SO secret were they in their operations,
that we did not comprehend the extent Of
their labors until the evening preceding the
election, and when it was too late to remedy
the mischief.
One important fact will be obseryed-which
is, that in those townships where Democratic
meetings and discussions were held, the Democ-
racy fully sustained themselves in those town

MAKE HOME HAPPY.
BY MINNIE MAE.

'How shall make home happy" Are
you mother? Then, mother, I ask you
first. You stand at the very threshold of life,
and your example and your precept mould
infant souls. Beautiful theories have been
written on the care and instruction of chill
dren, and poets have eulogized them as lambs,
as rosebuds, as cherubs; but mothers know
theory and poetry are alike incompetent for
their management and discipline. The rose
buds will occasionally appear more soiled
than pure, the lambs will sometimes play
the lion, and the angel cherubs subjected to
eblutions and reinvestures, from which their
name-sakes would recoil. I have no doubt,
many mothers have sighed for a complete
and perfect rule for the management of chill
dren. Experience teaches all such rules are
theories, but in tie course of my reading, I
have found few sententious sentences that
comprise the fundamental part of child's
management. I will give few, and allow
your own memory to prompt you farther
'Foolishness is bound up in the heart of
child; but the rod of correction shall drive it
far from him. 'Chasren thy son while there
is hope: and let not thy soul spare for his
crying Train up child in the way he
should go: and when he is old, he will not
depart from it, withhold not correction
from the child: for if thou beatest him with
the rod, he shall not die He that spareth
his rod, hateth his son but he that loVeth
him chasteneth him betimes.' In these are
embodied practical theory, of which, no
mother will doubt the benefit after the first
experiment. But primary and all impor-
tant rule is, to subdue yourself. Many
mother has been humbled and saddened by
the unintentional rebukes of her own chill
dren. Mother, don't speak so loud and I
will do it, or, 'mother, don't get vexed so
quick with me- or 'mother, me say me will
be good; me can't do so no more,' is enough
to silence, and alas humiliate. Might not
an excuse often be found for the errors of
these little ones, in your own impatience and
fretfulness.
Mothers have their own peculiar trials [
know. 1t often happens they arise in the
morning, after disturbed and anxious night,
weary and worn consequently, fretfully ner-
vous: compelled to submit to the impatience
of children; to listen to their fancied woes
and administer to imaginary wants. Or the
mind is burdened with some anxious thought,
or growing under some heavy woe, yet chill
dren's troubles must meet with attention and
their calls must be answered. But how is
it to be done? With cross word, an impa-
tient action and a frowning brow? Such
rebukes will make one disposition sullen,
another Indifferent, ndanother fretful. The
law of love must be exercised by example,
before it will be listened to as precept. Try
it mothers, do not reflect your ailments, your
troubles or your crosses on your little ones;
but when they come with their bruises or
their disappointments for relief or sympathy, !

be justly expected to explain them; but I

THE BANK OF ENGLAD.-The buildings
of this great bank cover about three acres
of ground. Many of its rooms are copied
from the classic models of Greece and Rome.
The employees number about one thousand.
Several of the officers reside in the bank
The notes redeemed each day are checked,
cancelled and put away in boxes. After
keeping them ten years they are burned.
The accumulation of the ten last years, now
in the vaults of the bank, amount to three
thousand millions of pounds: and yet any
one of these notes can be referred to in a
minute, and the history of its issue and its
return given. The bank does all its own
printing, and several presses are kept busy.
Everything is done by machinery-the note
is not touched by the pen before it goes
out.-Enchanqe. ......,

SECRECY OF MASONRY AFreemasonfy,l
admit, has its secrets. Il has secrets pecn-
liar to itself; but of what do these prinei-
pally consist? They consist rof signs and
tokens, which serve as testimonials of char
acter and qualification, which are only con-
ferred after due course of instruction aud
examination. These ares Of nos small value;
they speak a'universd language, and actas
a passport to the attention and support Of
the initiated in all parts of the world. Phey
cannot be lost SO long as memory retains its
power. Let the possessor of them be expa-
triated, shipwrecked or imprisoned; let him
be stripped of everything he has got in The
world, still these credentials remain, and
are available for use as circumstances may
require. The good effects which these have
produced are established by the most incon-
testibIe facts Of history. They have stayed
the uplifted hand Of the destroyer; they have
softened the asperities Of the tyrant; they
have mitigated the horrors of captivity; they
have subdued the rancor of malevolence, and
broken down the barrier Of political auimosity
and sectarian alienation. On the field Of Bat
tie, in the solitudes Of the uncultivated forest,
or in the busy haunts Of the crowded city,
they have made men of most hostile feelings,
the most distant regions, and the most di-
versiged conditions, rush to the aid Of each
other, and feel special JOY and satisfaction
that they have been able to afford relief TO
brother mason.-Benjamin Frankl;a.

CHILDREN's ,PLAYTHINGs.-Plaything
that children make for themselves, are
great deal better than those which are
bought for them. They employ them a
much longer time, they exercise ingenuity,
and they really please them more. A little
girl had better fashion her cups and saueers
of acorns, than to have a set of earthen ones
supplied. A boy takes ten times more plea.
sure in little wooden cart he. has pegged
together, than he would ia a painted and
gilded carriage bought from. the toy shop
and we do not believe any expensive rock
ing-horse ever gave SO much satisfaction as
we have seen child iu the country take
with cocoa nuthusk, which he had bridled,
and placed on four sticks There is a Pc
culiar satisfaction in inventiDg things for
ones self No matter, though the construe-
ton be clumsy and awkward, it employs
time (Which is great object in ehildhood)
and the pleasure the invention gives, isthe
first impulse to ingenuity and skill. For
this reason, the making of little boats, and
mechanical toys, should not be discouraged;
and when any difficulty occurs above the
powers of child, assistance should be cheer
fully given. If the parents are able to ex-
plain the principles on which machines are
constructed, the advantage will be tenfold.
