On the way he asked various questions,
to all of which Henry answered frankly.
There Is my mothers house, he said at
length. "She will be very clad to get this

The Election i'm Ohio.
from the Cincinnati Enquirer, Oct. /

from the Cincinnati Enquirer, Oct. II.
The Democracy of the State went into
the election yesterday against the most tre-
mendOuS odds that were ever arrayed against
an organization. Two years ago, Mr.. Val
landigham was beaten for Governor by I'll
600 on the home vote and 10000 ON the
soldiers making l0l 900 in all. Last year
the majority for Lincoln, on the home vote,
was Is, 900, and nearly 6O, 600 on the total
vote. To overcome these tremendous figures
was hardly deemed possible in one year, and
1t indicates the unconquerable vitality of
the Democracy that, with such load upon
it, it should have entered the campaign
with energy and zeal Any other party
would have abandoned the contest as hone.
less, and made feeble and spiritess effort
But the Democracy, relying upon the truth
Of their principles, and having confidence
in the sober second thought of the people,
galanty threw down the gage of defiance to
their opponents.
Had it been accepted fairly and squarcly
had not the State Convention of the Re
publicans lodged the issue of Negro Suf-
trage, and the Republican nominee for Gov
ernor taken AN equivocal position on it-had
they openly avowed their real sentiments,
they would, despite their previous majority,
nave been badly beaten. This Is now evl-
dent from the returns. The gains for the
Democracy throughout the State will be
found to be very large, The towering ma
iority of lOl, 900 of 1868, has dwindled away
to probably 10000. In another year. with
the same ratio ofincrease land we believe it
will be largerl, the Democracy will be tri-
umphant in Ohio by a sweeping vote There
is every thing to encourage the Democracy
to persevere in the good work of the politi-
cal redemption of the country.

A correspondent of the Glasgow Herald
transmits the following:
On Sunday morning last / had the pleas

"1imes bee-master, happens TO be one
of them, | would recommend it TO his no.

closely, and noticed the care with which
they selected convenient hole at the side
of gravel walk-the tenderness with which
they committed the body, the head down

which they afterwards pushed against it
two little stones, doubtless in memoriam.
Their task being ended, they paused for q

Make Farm Life Attractive.

l. BY less hard word. Farmers often un-
dertake more than they can do well, and
consequently work too early and too late
,. By more system The farmers should
have a time to begin and stop labor. They
should put more mind and machinery into
their work. They should the1iz- a. well

ing is healthy, moral and respectable; and
in the long run, may be made profitable
The farmer should keep good stock and out
of debt. The farm is the best place to be.
gin and end life. and hence so many in the
cities and professional life covet rural
home.

Romance ontne Rail.

\ pretty little bit Of romance developed
itself in one OF the State street cars on Fri
day, Among the passengers was pale
quiet little woman, plainly dressed, and We
ry pretty Withal Presently a Onc-egged
soldier labUled into the car on his crutcAes
The seats were crowded and the soldier had
to stand. The young woman got up, pulled
the blue sleeve, and pointed To the scat she
had vacated. For the first time, as he
turned she had full view vi his face, and
neither Of them paid any more attention to
the empty seat. They stared ut each other
Il minute, and then in spite otthe awkward
motion of the car, embraced and kissed
each other with hysterical tervor At first
the passengers were somewhat aStOnishcd
at so rublca demonstrations but all Of them
soon ioined in conglatulatiug the delighted
couple, upon learning that the two persons
thus suddenly brought together were man
and wife, long separated by the vicissitudes
of war. The soldier had been desperately
wounded in Tennessee. and, taken prisoner
He was supposed TO have been killed, and
before he was restored TO freedom and able
to write, his wife, or widow, as she suppos-
ed herself, removed to Chicago, and SO his
letters never reached her The poor fellow
as soon as he could travel, set out for home,
with despoudihg heart, TO learn why his
letters had never been answered. He reach
ed Chicago on Friday, ON his way hither,
when the generous impulse of a little wo.
man to a manned soldier, brought her bacl;
to loving husband, and threw him III the
arms of a wife who had long mourned him
as among that innumerable host who hav,
lain down their lives for the salvation o
their country. Chicago Republican.

Just Like Them.

On Sunday, a lady living in South Leav-
enworth went to the poor-house on Tenth
street, where about fifty negresses are kept
at the expense of the county, thinking that
there might be some who would like to
work. On enering she saw several stout,
able American women of African descent,
and soon made knownher errand. None OF
them acouH work-''we don't want to work
any more-we've got as good thing as we

How THE RACK WAS ABo1sHEp.--

How THE RACK WAS ABoLrsHED.---
Torture, applied, to extort confession,
was discontinued, it is said, in the
public courts Of Portugal in conse-
quence Of the following circumstance !:
A conscientious Judge having OBJ
served the effect Of the rack upon sup
posed criminals in making them con-
fess anything, to the sacrifice of their
lives, to get released from the torture,
determined to try an experiment.
It is capital crime in that country to
kill horse or mule, and he had one of
the former which be much valued.
He took care one night TO have all
his servants employed SO that no one
but the groom could 60 into the stable.
When all were fast asleep In their
beds he stole tbither himself and cut
the horse SO that he bled to death.
The groom was apprehended and
committed to prison. He pleaded not
guilty ; but the presumption being
strong against him, he was ordered TO
the rack, where the extremity Of the
torture wrung from him confession of
the crime. Upon this confession he
had the sentence Of hanging passed
on him, when his master went to- the
tribunal and there exposed the fallibil
ity OF confessions obtained by such
means, by owning the facts himself,
and disclosing the motives which had
influenced him in making the expert
