As will he seen by reference to the table
given above, In the $500 600 worth OF val
entines there summarized there were but
two included which were worth 500
each, and the chances that any of the read
ers of the Times may receive one of those,

this is a lottery IN which all are likely to
have shar, 81 are considerably less than they
were that any of this same higbly-favored
circle (the readers OF the Times we mcan)
would draw the Crosby Opera House, or
the ten thousand dollars in greenbacks
given in the Union Home and School enter
prise.
Among the sentimental valentines the
most popular just now Is style lately IN
troduccd, the pecullarity of which Is lndi-
Gated by their designation, Perlumed
Sachets." These are manufactured in all
the shapes anu forms winch ingenuity Cal
devise. The most attractive arrangement,
however, is one TOR holding photographs {;
and this idea alone, it will at once be per-
ceived, is capable of being elaborated in
forms innumerable. Then, too, there are
card valentines, of various sizes, printed
in colors beautifully and artisticaly blend
ed, and quite equal to foreign productions
in this same line.
The subject is one which might be dis
cussed at any length, but enough has been
said to prove that valentines are by no
means out of fashion, and that just as much
skill, taste and ingenuity as were ever eX-
pended upon them are still exercised in
their manufacture.

VALENTINES.
Interesting statistics of the Trade
Custom Extendings
[Erom the Now York Times. 4th.l


[E1rom the Now York Times. 4th.l
Atleast ninety-nine out of every hundred
individuals, male or female, to whom the
inquiry might be addressed whe,her Vail
entne's Day was as faithfully observe
now as it was formerly, would tell you
without moments thought or hesitation
that the deluge of missives which used to
mark this notable anniversary had of late
become a very insignificant shower, and
that in very few years the practice would
probably be entirely forgotten. Numerous
reasons might be assigned for this fact,
which so many take to be self-evldent.
Few, perhaps would venture to assert that
Cupid reigns less despotically or univer-
sally than he once did, or that lovers have
become bolder and that they prefer to tell
of their passion by word OF mouth or in
sentences of their own choosing; but many
would allege that the custom had been re-
signed to chambermaids and their swains,
and that since this class had taken possess
sion of practice once in high repute In
fashionable circles, the time cannot be iar
distant when valentines would be held
simply as curious relics, justas the patriotlc
envelopes so generally used during the
war, or the bits of dirty paper which once
passed current in the defunct Confederacy
are now regarded.
Some facts accidentally developed few
days since suggested an investigation
which proves conclusively that this idea
that valentines are out OF date-is to great
extent mistaken one, and deserves to be
set down as popular error. During late
years the demand for the ornamental and
lace paper OF the description so largely
used in valentines has increased to such m
extent that machinery for its manufacture
has been brought to great perfection, ana
this has had a very natural tendency TO
concentrates in the hands of few firms Il
business which was once prosecuted to a
large extent by individuals. Valentines,
consequently, are not thrust so promin-
emily upon the public gaze rs they used to
be for weeks and months before recurrence
of the anniversary; and this fact has un-
uuestonably had much to do with the con-
viction that these missves are not so gen.
erally called into requisition as they were
formerly. This, however, looks like a the
ory, and those who insist upon the contrary
NAV ask for facts. and, indeed, for figures.
Here are few. which all will confess are
sufficiently stubborn. A single firm, the
headquarters of which are in William
street in this city, has a capital of at least
$4,000 invested in the manufacture of val
entines, and here is a succinct statement of
the number, prices, and aggregate value OF
these missives, which ii has made to meet
the demand for this years trade:

Our friend Kerr, the Radical Representa-

ture was in tight place" on last Friday.
He is opposed, he said last winter, to grant
ing the use of the Hall of the House for any
purpose but legislative. A member had
offered resolution granting the use of the
Hall on last Wednesday night to John Nj.
Langston, a negro from Oberlin, to make a
speech in. The resolution was discussed
and failed; and which way, reader, do you
suppose the member from this county voted
on that resolution? He didn't vote at all.
but made it convenient to be absent Mt the
time the vote was taken.
The same resolution was offered in the
Senate on last Saturday. Mr.. Brooks, the
Senator from this district, both advocated
and voted for it. 1t was finally lost by n
vote of seven yeas to seventeen nays

We are daily asked this question, and our
answer is: "NOthing that can benefit the
tax-paying portion of the people" 1t has
indeed passed an act comforting npOn ne
groes in the territories the right to vote; ;
but this is nothing in favor of the ,ctite
man. 1t has passed a law changing the
time for Congress to meet, and authorizing
the 10th session to begin on the 4th of
March next; but this will only increase the
white mans taxes, and entail upon the
country curse which nothing short OF
another revolution can aoipe out.
1t has enacted several other ridiculous
and unwise laws, calculated to benefit the
Radical dictators; but nothing has yet been
done for the masses, and nothing 1oiU be
done for their benefit, so long as Radical
ism retains power in that body.-IVyandot

shall ,he Question be DOdged:

There is on the Reserve, where Negroes
do not pIentifully abound, among the Radl-
Gals an intense solicitude on the subject of
Negro Suffrage in Ohio. They want it,
and they don't want the question blinked
or lodged any longer. They want square
vote on it at the ensuing State election
To that feeling the Cleveland Leader (Radi-
cali of Saturday thus gives voice:
"SHALL THE QUESTION BE DoDGED!-
Only three full weeks remain OF the session
of the State Legislature. That body seems
to have very little TO do, adiournlng every
week or two from Friday to Tuesday. And
vet. with n timidity which is fast disgracing
it, il neglects all action upon the proposed
Equal Suffrage Amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the State. No less than three
propositions to effect this end are pendingin
the Legislature, and yet no action Is taken
upon anv of them. What Is the reason OF
this paralyzing inactivity? We ask this
question of the heserve members. we
warn them that their constituents will ask
the same question of them and that they
will do well to have an answer ready. NO
member can shield himself behind the plea
that the majority of the Legislature Is op-
posed to the measure. Ifthere are ten men
In the Legislature honestly in favor oil
Equal Suffrage in Ohio, they can at least
get a vote which will show who are for us
and who against us. If such vote is not
taken, the Radical people of Northern
Ohio mean to know the reason why"
The Leader is mistaken in saying that
"only three full weeks remain of the ses-
sion of the State Legislature" That body
has not yet decided on day of adjourn
ment, and it is exceedingly doubtful
whether it will until it shall have ascer-
tained the result of the Connecticut cleo
tion, and of the municipal elections in
Ohio. Ifit shall find out that those cleo
tions disclose no dissatisfaction with the
Republican party, it will then, in all proba-
bility, submit to vote of the people an
amendment striking the word White from
the Constitution. =

his birthday. The Canton Register says of
him One day last week, John Raywalt, of

izen of this county, now Sc years of age,
cut down the trees, chopped and corded
cord of hickory wood. He has 40 grand
children, and 20 great grand children, and
to-day can bear more expC sure and hard
ship, we venture to say, than any of them.

voting with the Democrats.

Persons who have heard Mr.. SHELLA-
BARGER talk from the stump no doubt have
received the impression that he entertained
the opinion, that under no state of circum-
stances would it be proper to vote with
Democrats; that their way of thinking
was not his way OF thinking. Yet we no.
tice that on Friday he voted with the DEM
ocrats against ordering the previous ques-
tion on STEVENS bill providing Military
Government for the Southern States.
Messrs. BINGHAM, DELANo, PLANTS, EG-
GLEsToN and SPALDING, of this State, did
likewise. The Democratic vote was thrown
solidly against the motion. So, it appears,
it is good thing at times to vote with
Democrats. The mass of the people who
hitherto voted with the Republican party
should emulate the example thus set them
by these Republican members of Congress,
and vote with the Democrats at the ensu-
ing April and October elections. Salutary
for great good such votes may be. Sup
pose they try it, anyhow.
