Astounding and Revolving"

The editor Of the Hooking Sentinel
has ferretted ont, and gone crazy over
a late fearful attempt Of a white girl in
his county to procure 4 license to marry
a chuck ngger." And our Lancaster
Edgle copies his rawlings in his leading
editorial column Speaking for hem.
sslves, Of course, these editors say "that
we are fast drifting into the vortex OF
negro equality no one will deny" Good
God. Is there no way Of preventing
these poor fellows from getting into that
vortex 2" If they have no other
friends to rush to their rescue, we take
it upon ourself to solemnly warn the
Probate Judges Of Hooking and Fair
field counties that if ever Gould and
Baker come into their respective offices
demanding license to marry doe "nig-
ger" that THEY MCsT NOT Issue THE
DOCUMENT. The laws Of Ohio forbid
it--oad hcy must BE respected A little
extra vigilance and exertion by their
friends may save these trembling VIC
TINS from tumbiiug into that gaping
vortex" into which they are gazing
with such fearful anticipations. We
feel that we have now done our part
and that we are entitled to their lasting
gratitude --LdHcuSter Gasette.

1t was in the midst of that coolest
spell Of last winter, when the boatmen
of Cincinnati had nothing to do but ia
keep warm over the fires in the grog-
geries to which they did most resort,
when a party of them were hugging
the stove in store near the Spencer
House. In addition to bad liquor, the
storeman kept lamp-oil and other truck
of the sort, and was drawing it into a
half-gallon measure, as old Butcher
Boy" who was toasting his shins, and
observed that the oil merchant did not
more than half fll the measure, called
out to him:
Jim, can tell you how to sell twice
as much oil as you do now"
"Well, howl" growled Jim.
"Fill your measure"

The Lake City Ledgor is response
bic for the following story'
AT a meeting of the patriotic ladies
and gentlemen of Lake City, to prepare
for the soldiers festival lately held in
that enterprising town, young attor-
ney present was requested to find out
who would supply the milk for the din
ner. Jumping up on chair, he loudly
asked: "Iow many ladies here will
give milk for the brave soldiers ?" to
which an elderly lady responded, that
''tor one she could not; she had not
given milk for ten years." which so ut
terIy conlounded the young lawyer that
he was entirely unable to prosecute his
inquiry, and it has never been satisGlc-
torily known how many ladies there
were at the meeting who would have
promised 'to give milk for the brave
soldiers"

Keeping and Settling Coffee.

The following appears valuable;
"For | ID. coffee, take one egg and
beat it we'll When the coffee is nicely
Drowned and cool enough not to cook
the egg, pour the egg over it, stirring
it until every kernel is coated as with q

not affected by moisture, and the egg
helps settle the coffee when it is ground

Editorial Slavery.

Every editor Of a newspaper will
appreciate the truth Of the following
passage from some of the writings OF
Capt, Marryatt
1t is not the writing of the, leading
article itself, but the obligation to write
that article every day, (or week } wheth-
er inclined or not, in sickness or in
health; in affection, disease of mind,
winter and summer, year after year,
tied down to the task, remaining in one
spot. 1t is something like the walking
OF thousand hours. | have fellow
feeling, for | know how a periodical
will wear down ones existence. In
Itself it appears nothing the labor is
not manifest; nor is it the labor, but it
is the continued attention which it re-
quires. Your life becomes, as it were,
the publication. One days Tor week'sJ
paperiS no sooner corrected and printed,
than on comes another 1t is the stone
OF Sysephus; an endless repetition of
toll, constant weight upon the intellect
and spirits, demanding all the exertion
Of your faculties, at the same time that
you are compelled to do the seyerest
kind of drudgerY. To write for
newspaper is very well, but to edit one
is to condemn yourself to slavery. All
of which is as true as preaching -Et-
change.

soften it, and let it stanl over night.

THE TRUE GENTLEMAN.-By gentle
man, we mean not to draw line that
would be inyidiouS between the high and
low rank and subordination, riches, and
poverty. The distinction is in the
mind. Whoever is open, loyal, and
true; whoever is of humane and affable
demeanor; whoever is honorable to
himself, and in judgment to others and
requires no law but his word to make
him fulfill an engagement-such a man
is gentleman and such man may be
found among the tilers of the earth.

1t appears by the report of the
Provost Marshal General that l39 ,O95
men were called for from Massachusetts
during the war The State not only
met all the demands Of the Government,
but actually furnished 10000 more re-
cruits than were required, sending into
the field l58.3S0 soldiers. Of this
number only 1906 were colored. These
figures dispose Of the copperhead lies
that Massachusetts was willing toinvolye
the country in war, but when hostiities
were declared failed to perform her part
in the suppression of the rebellion, and
enlisted Southern blacks instead of her
own citizens.
1t should be added that of the ,292
representative recruits furnished BY per-
sons not liable to service, throughout
the country, $50, or nearly one-half,
were sent from Massachusetts. The
