THE WONDERFUL STORY OF THE
SHARK. T|

TIE following sea story is old, but Is
as true to-day as when first given to the
public long years ago:
In the course of the voyage that dread
full disease, the ship fever, broke out
among the crew. One of the sailors,
among the first victims was aceompsn-
led BY his son, lad Of fourteen years,
who was strongly attached to his father,
and remained with him day and night
and never could be persuaded to leave
him for a moment.
A large shark was seen every day fol-
lowing the vessel, evidently for the Pur-
pose of devouring any one who should
die aud be committed to the deep. Af-
ter lingering few days, the sailor died.
As was the custom at sea, he was seWed
up in a blanket, and for the purpose of
sinking him, an old grindstOne and a
carpenters ak we're put in With him.
The very impressive service Of the Epis-
copal Church was then read and the
body com mitted to the deep.
The poor boy watched the proceed
ings closely, plunged in after his father,
when the enormous shark swallowed
them both. The second day after this
dreadful scene as the shark continued to
follow the vessel (for there were others
sick in the ship,) one Of the sailors pro-
posed, as they had a hook on hand, to
make an effort to take him.
They fastened the hook to long role,
and batting it with piece Of pork, threw
it into the sea, the shark instantly sWal-
lowed it. Having thus hooked him, by
means Of a windlass, they hoisted him
on board. After he was dead they pre-
pared to open him, when one of tie
sailors, stcoping down for that purpose,
suddenly paused, and after listening a
few moments declared most sOlemly he
heard low hutteral sound, which ap
peared to proceed from the shark.
The sailors, after enjoying hearty
laugh at his expense, proceeded to lis
ten for themselves, when they heard
similar sound. They then proceeded to
open the shark, when the mystery was
explained.
It appears that the sailor was not dead
but in trance and his son, on making
this discovery when inside the shark,
and by means of knife ripped open the
blanket Having thus liberated his faith
er, they both went to work and righted
up the old grindstone-the boy was
turning and the father was holding the
old ship carpenters ak, sharpening it
for the purpose of cutting their way out
of their Jonahlike prison, which oeea-
stoned the noise heard by the sailor
As it was the hottest season Of the year,
and very little air stirring where they
we're at work, they were both sweating
tremendously.

HON. ALLEN G. THURMAN FOR Q. s.
SENATOR.

The victorious Democracy of Ohio, as
far as we can learn, point as one man
to Judge Thurman, their gallant stand
ard bearer, to succeed Ben. Wade in the
Senate of the United States. This ac-
cords with our sentiments, and, without
wishing to forestall the matter, We but
give utteranee to what We believe to be
the honest sentiments of a majority of
the Democracy of Tusoarawas county,
through the peoples medium, the Dem
ocratio press. Judge Thurman had made
a gallant fight, and although defeated by
a meager majority, and that made up of
negro votes, he has earned for himself
the lasting gratitude of every true-heart-
ed Democrat in the State. When be was
unanimously nominated for Governor it
was with the expectation that he would
be beaten; but he made one Of the best
campaigns ever made in Ohio. We pre-
dieted that he would receive a larger
vote than any Democrat who had ever
come before us for our suffrages. We
have not yet the means of verifying our
predictions, but the reduction Of over
10000 from the Republican majority Of
last year, is Of itself a record Of which
he may we'll be proud. Aided by other
men, good and true, the white mems
standard in Ohio was never lowered
Scores of local candidates owe their sue
cess to the indomitable energy and un-
ceasing vigilance which characterized
our friends at Columbus, whose patriot
ic and self-sacrifcing efforts diffused
confidence continually throughout the
State. As he did not seek the nomina-
ton for Governor but yielded to the
wishes of the United Democracy, and
came from his retirement to battle for
those principles which have been the
polar star of his political life, let the
Democratic mass spontaneously do an
act of simple jnstice and right, and thus
strengthen themselves throughout the
State Precedents are not wanting to |
Justify the Ohio Legislature in this their
plain path of duty. The people of Ohio, |
in the recent election, have placed the
seal OF condemnation upon the attempt
TO enforce negro suffrage upon our State,
either by Con gressional or State Legis-
lative enactment, and most emphatically !
in opposition to such change in their
organic law. In thiS situation Of affairs
then, who so fit as Allen G. Thurman to
guard 0hio's interests as a sovereign /
State in that body, where, by the Con-
she is entitled to equality of
with every other State in
the Union.
Let the word go forth, brethren Of
The Democratic press, and let united
Democracy proclaim the Hon. Allen G.
Thurman Ohio's next representative ia
The Senate of the United Stated.-ORio
Democrat.

FISH STORY.

Mr.. VALLAEDIGHAI, in a speech de.
/ livered at Hamilton 10 Butler county
since the election, tells the following fish
story, which we commend to our Repub-
liean readers, Mr.. v said:
" While uponstbe Island Of Bermuda,
one of the most Interesting group in the
world historic, because Shakespeare
made it, in part, the subject Of one Of
his splendid plsys-in travelling from
one portion of the Island TO the other, /
passed by a stone inolOsure, perhaps q
hundred feet in diameter. The islands
are coral in their formation. There was
a pool Of water, full Of fish, inside the
inelosure. 1 paid an English shilling
for admission inside, where I saw per
haps a hundred fish, thoroughly tanned,
each one answering to the name BY
which he was called One of them, I
reoollect, was called Dick. I spoke to
him, as I would to.a dog, and he came
and lifted up his head and allowed me to
rub his back, just as you would a cat.
Now, as 1 told you, if anybody else
had told me that wouldn't have believ-
ed it. But II is nevertheless true. There
is Just such a pool there, and there are
fish there so intelligent that they recog-
nize their names. I think they ought
to be entitled TO vote Laughter. I Al
most as much so as SambO, at least I
would wager you that these fish would
not forget their names. Yet the negroes
did in Richmond. That big fish knew
his name, and Sambo didn't I will
wager you another thing, that these fsh,
had they been allowed to vote, would
not have marched up to a post-Ofice box
and voted there, as they did at Mem
phis, the other day. [Laugter.

to be passing sOuthward over FraHee

called rpon, this winter, to elect sue
cessor to B. F. Wade in the United States
Senate. Without disparagement to the
other leading men Of our party who
have so nobly conducted our campaign,
and who may be candisates, We think

sires the position, should be made the
successor Of Wade. As our standard

sanguine expectations.-C Cemont Sun.

HENRY WARD BEECHER's sermon last
Sunday evening was on matrimony. He
said Many men get wives, and get
with them the itch and a cursed religion.
Canaan is now everywhere where Nam
mon is God Where there is a goddess
household there is the land Of Canaan.
When a man gets a wife he wants moth
ing more in life. Marriage is a thing
not to be rushed into, but cautiously, re.
ligiously, and discreetly performed
Some people get married out Of bound
ing passion, but he never saw one that
was glad. The men who do so have
wretched time Of it, but what kind of a
time must the women have? Marriages
should be founded upon qualities that
will last, rather than upon the mere ties
of affection. When a man founds a
household, it ought TO be done upon
moral grounds, He that marries a wo-
man first, and thinks he can change her
religion afterward, knows little of hu-
man nature. Many who hang their am
bition upon those above them, thinking
that they will draw themselves up there
by, often find themselves mistaken. He
would recommend all, therefore, to 60
back to the land Of their fathers, to take
partners for life FROM among their neigh
bors, and always Of the same denomina-
ton" The church was crowded, and
now and then, during the sermon, there
was n suppressed tittering among the
women.

That winds among the trees. His spirit clings
In Orang mist arOand the snowy wings

Over the western mountain idly swings,
Waiting when night shall come alasI too soon,
To veil the timid bushes " the virgin moon.
The trees with crimson robes are garmented,
Clad with iFail briliiance By the wiRkling frost;
For the young leaves that Spring with beauty fed,
Their greenness and luXUriance have lost,
Gaining new beauty at too great cost
Unnatural beauty essence Of decay
Too soon upon the harsh winds wildly tossed,
Leaving the naked trees ghOst-lize gray,
These leaflOcks, like vain hopes, will vanish quit
