PURIFYING WATER 1t often happens
that our experimenting readers require
pure water when they can only obtain
putrid. A good plan for overcoming this
difficulty is the following; Take large
tin or wooden funnel, and place few pie
ces of broken glass at the bottom; gil up
to two.thirds with charcoal, broken small
place few pieces Of broken glass at top,
to keep down the charcoal pour in water.
and, even if it be putris it will pass rap

me Vote on EquaT suaraee.

The list Of yeas and nays on Mr.. KEEL
ley's bill to establish equal suffrage in the
District of Columbia, reveals the crafty
ing fact that the Ohio Union Delegation
are a unit on this question. Not q single
Union man from Ohio voted against the
bill. This is most encouraging, and we
hope there viii be IN equal unity of feel
ing among the Union men of the State
Legislature on the subject Of equal suf-
frage IN Ohio. The colored men of Ohio
as even George n. Pendleton bears testi
mony, are intelligent and well-behaved.
Every reason which can be urged in favor
of granting the ballot to the negroes of
the District applies with equal force to the
negroes Of Ohio.
OF the hundred and forty-four Republi-
cans in the House of Representatives only
fourteen, or one in ten, voted against equal
suffrage, and, of these, nine are from
and Illinois, whose black laws are only
less infamous than slavery itself. Among
the all fourteen ~recusants there is not one
who is recognized as having any claim to
special ability Oh craftsmanship. We
give their names, but it is not likely that
our readers ever heard of them before, or
ever will hear Of them again. They are:
Kuykendall, of Illinois; Hill, Stillwell-
and Farquhar, of Indiana; Smith, Mckee
and Randall, of Kentucky; Noel, Van
Horn, Benjamin and Anderson, of Mis-
souri,; Hubbard and Latham Of Western
Virginia; and Henderson, of Oregon.

The Assault on Senator wade

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes as follows about
the recent attack on Senator Wade:
Greatly to Senator Wade's disgust, the
newspapers have been making sensation
out of a curious little scene at his rooms
last Wednesday night. But with all their
sensation they have robbed the occasion of
the final act which gave it epic complete
ness.
The bully was a Southerner as his pro
nuncistion indicated aver more clearly
than his dress and his bearing. Perhaps
he wa some brave, fresh from Confederate
deeds of glory; certainly be was a chival-
ric son of the Sunny South, painting for
Government employment, or laurels like
those of BoothI With tragic emphasis
he produced his bowie knife and informed
the Senator that they were alone. Judge
of his displeasure when he found that
there was one more member of the com
pany than he had supposed to-wit: a little
Smith d Wesson. Then came strategy.
He retreated q, Wade advanced. With
a lack of politeness excusabls under the
circumstances, he wen preceded the Sena-
tor down the stairs; absolutely lodging,
with shame let it be written, as Wade be-
n~evolently informed him, that he had a
mind to shoot him any way. Bowie knife
in hand he reached the outer steps.
Here came the climax, which the sensa-
t~lon-loving newspapers omitted. Yet some
day the Hudibras who sings our civil wal
will chose it for the imposing close of his
loftiest strains.
There on the steps stood the broad
sheuldered, stalwart Southron, all his hot
blood boiling in his veins, his trusty bowie
cleaning in the gaslight with a fire as
baleful as shot from his own ewes down
upon the mudsill Senator. There was a
pause. The Senator drew back. The
Southron contemplated the slippery steps,
then appeared for an instant gracefully
poised above them on the squared-toed
boot Of the Senator, before he dropped
bowie knife still in hand-into the outer
darkness.
Sumner told, the other day, Of a picture
the coming historical painter of America
was yet to give us--a Vermont Senator
standing up, in the dark days, to read a
report on Kansas Mr.. Sumner knows
better now. The painter will find a more
suggestive subject-a reconstructed rebel
shaking his bowie-knife on the stone steps
Of a pleasant mansion on F~our-and-a-half
street till an Ohio Senator contemptuously
many things nobody else could have done;
but surely this is the most deliciously
sharacteristio Of sl his performances.

Puzzles in Ancient PHILOSOPHY.

Among othsr famous ancient dialectic
problems are the following dilemmss,
which are framed with wonderful ingenu-
ity, the acuteness displayed in their con-
struction being unsurpassed. The first is
called SyLLogisn1us CroeodiIns, and may be
thus stated: An infant, while playing on
the bank of a river wa seized by a croco-
die. The mother, hearing its cries, ran
to its assistance, and by her fearful en-
treaties, obtained a promise from the GRO
codile, who was obviously of the highest
intelligence, that he would give it to her
back if she would tell him truly what
would happen to it. On this the mother,
give 1t back" The crocodile answers to
this: "If you have spoken truly, I cannot
give back the child without destroying the
truth of your assertion; if you have spo-
ken falsely, I cannot give back the child,
because you have not fulfilled your agree
ment. Therefore, I cannot give it back,
whether you have spoken truly or false
spoken truly, you must give back the
child by virtue of your agreement: if 1
have spoken falsely, that only can be
when you have given back the child. So
that, whether l have spoken truly or
falsely, the child must be given back"
History is silent as to the issue of this re-
markable dispute,
OF a similar nature is the other exam
pie mentioned above, which is even more
accurately stated. A young man named
Euathlus received lessons in rhetoric from
P~rOtsgoras, it being agreed that a certain
fee should be paid If the pupil was sue
cessful in the first cause he pleaded.
Euathlus, however, neglected to undertake
any cause, and Protagoras, in order to OBJ
tain his fee, was compelled to sue him.
Euathlus defended himself in court, and
it was consequently the young mans first
suit. The master argued thus: "If 1 be
successful in this case, o Euathlus, yon
will be compelled to pay, by virtue of the
sentence of these righteous judges; and
should I eve be unsuccessful, you will
then have to pay me in fulfllment of
your original contract To this the apt
pupil replied: "If 1 be successful, o mas
ter, I shall be free by the sentence of these
judges; and if be unsuccessful, l shall be
free by virtue of the contract. The story
states that such convincing arguments.
thus Numerically opposed completely
staggered the judges, who, being unable to
decide, postponed the judgment sine de-

Tennessee and Cotton.

1t is believed that the largest cotton
producing State in the Union this yea
viii be Tennessee. In the first place, thC
native industry of that State, white and
colored, is in better condition than that o.
most other States for the resumption o
activity. In the next place, there has al.
ready been a larger Northern emigration
to Tennessee than to any other Southern
State, and the prospects are that it will be
greatly increased within the next three
months, consisting both of workers and
capitalists. Both the old residents and
newcomers geAerally declare it their pur-
pose to devote themselves to the cultiva-
ton Of cotton; and preparations have al
ready been made t introduce the raising
Of cotton upon a large scale in districts
which have heretofore been devoted to the
growth Of wheat and cattle. There are
regions in the central and western
parts of the State where cotton can be
raised to great advantage, and we see no
why Tennessee should not surnirh
half million bales.

TUsoARAwAs COUNTY.


The New Philadelphia Chronicle says:
On Thursday afternoon last Mr.. Samuel
SHUTS, Of Zoar Station, was suddenly killed
while in the act of loading a large saw-log
on to a four-wheeled wagon. He was roll
ing the log on with a horse attached to a
rope, and had succeeded in getting it near
ly on to the wagon, when the rope sud-
denly gave way-or broke-and the log
rolled back, catching Mr.. Suits before he
could get out of the way, and rolling over
and crushing his body, until it reached his
face where it stopped. A portion of his
brains was crushed out by the weight of
the log which was removed from his face
as speedily as possible. He still continued
to breathe, and in this condition was taken
to his house, on reaching which he drew
his last breath. ILL
The members and friends of the NJ. E.
Church at Uhrichsville held a festival on

The Lecture room of the new NJ. E.

We are informed that at a protracted

The Conneaut Reporter says:-Wel learn
that during the progress of the storm on
Thursday night last, a barn belonging to
Mrs. Blanchard, about oneand a-half miles
southeast of this village, was struck by
lightning killing two cows and doing con-
siderable injury to the frame work Of the
barn.
-on Thursday night last the building
owned and occupied by Mr.. Geo. Hewett,
of Clark's Corners, in this township, as a
dwelling and store, took fire from a defect
in the chimney and was entirely comsum-
ed, together with merchandise, consisting
VI Oootsi SHOES groceries, nOLiOns eIcg anu
household goods and some $50 in money.
The loss is estimated at about $1,000. No
insurance.
We learn that the Rev. j. Robinson,

at the fremont House bar-room next
Sunday evening at six o'clock, through
the solicitation Of these in the habit of
warming their fingers there.
Mr.. Ourtiss, of Pierpoint, weighed and
CARED some 400 sheep at this place on
