EDITOR JOURNAL when l wrote you
last week it was distressingly dry, and fires
were raging in the forests. Towards even
ing of that day the wind bore the smoke
directly into the town. 1t filled the air,
covered the heavens, and gave all things a
lurid and sombre appearance as if the day
of doom were come. Tuesday the same
state of things prevailed, not quite SO bad.
Wednesday the wind drove the smoke an
other way, but still it was dry. Thursday
morning the rain" the blessed rain -
was falling. 1t came as welcome as it was
in Fremont in the driest time last summer.
1t rained all day, yet there was no mud.
Too sandy for that But" Cometh sun.
shine after rain." Everything is radiant
now, and every breath of air feels like a
vigorous tonic impartipg strength and buoy
ancy to body and mind.
Just before dinner strolled down to the
r. R. dock. This is one of three docks
from which the ore is shipped. 1t is about
thirty feet above the water, extending ont
into the bay SO that vessels may approach
on each side. The cars, ladened with ore,
are run down upon the dock, then the ore is
passed through trap-doors into the pockets
as they are called, of the dock. Each pock-
ct will hold about seventy-fve tons, and
this dock has forty pockets, SO that the dock
will contain some three thousand tons. When
vessel is to be loaded the mouth of the
pocket is opened, and the ore slides of itself
through along trough into the hold. Ordin-
arily it takes about half day to load, though
on one occasion vessel received her ladiug
in two hours and fifteen minutes. Last year
two hundred and sixty seven Thousand tons
of ore and pig iron were shipped from this
port.
Yesterday was a very pleasant Sabbath.
As an evidence Of braciDg climate it is to
be noted that here people can go to church
twice on the Lords dayl In Fremont few
have vigor enough for that, you know. The
congregations here are larger in the evening
than the morning. After all, that is greatly
a matter of habit.
Last week I visited three of the public
schools. In all there are six schools, taught
by eight teachers. The High School is
taught by the Supt., and one assistant.
Judging from what l saw, the order main-
tanned is excellent, and the instruction extra
good. witnessed an extraordinary phe-
nomenon. Two members of the Board Of
Education were actually examining classes,
and were capable of doing it | If am not
mistaken they belong to opposite political
parties. So these upper peninsula "Michi-
ganders AWAY out on this outside point OF
creation, are not silly enough to try their
political strength on vote for school-direct-
ors. l am wholly unacquainted with the
common school system of Michigan. But
the schools of Marquette will bear examina-
tion well, and are worthy to rank with those
of Fremont, Norwalk, Toledo, and other
cities of Ohio. Any American citizen must
be proud of his country, when he finds such
schools in every State and Town.

MEN TO BE RELIED ON.

GRANT and CoLFAx are men of the
people, and have no theories or policies
to enforce against the will Of the peo-
pie. The reins Of government will be
safe in their hands. Old-time polite
ians are treacberous. They 60. back
on their constituents whenever they
can advance their private aims or graf

dates are young vigorous, honest and
able. Their election means peace and
prosperity the country over.

oRArORY-ELECTIONBERING, &C

ORATORY- ELECTIONEERING, &C.
The idea is exploded that Con-
gresham must be an orator. The day
when high-hown speeches in legisla-
lures and Congress were admired, has
passed. 1t went out with our South
ern brethren. In the pslmy days of
Southern domination the columns of
the Congressional Globe were pulled up
like a smoke-b ball with bombast. Men
who mounted their speeches OIL stilts
were in furious demand on spread
eagle days in backwoodsy places. But
the fashion has changed. The men,
bers who are the "bully" stump ora
tors at home, are the least influential
and efficient in Congress. Common
sense, industry, application to business,
and the use of clear, plain English, are
the best qualifications legislator can
have.
The friends of Gen. GIBSON in Sene-
ca county are urging his nomination as
sCongressional candidate solely because
he is popular speaker and will make
an enthusiastic canvass of the District
We doubt if this one accomplishment is
sufficient to carry him into Congress.
While on this subject it might as
well be said that it is questionable if
SO many converts are made by stump
speeches as is popularity supposed. We
do not mean the evening talks in school
houses to farmers who are too busy to
read much. These efforts are generally
limited to plain statements of fact and
explanation of obscure questions; con-
versational and argumentative rather
than oratorical; and, unmarked by heat
and rancor, oftentimes send conviction
to an opponents mind, when it would
be impossible to reach him if his party
prejudices were aroused. But at the
big meetings there is usually too much
splurge; or it happens that the good
effect is spoiled by some assinine ora
tor who lays himself out for grandilo-
quent effort when there has been quite
enough speaking already.
At the Threshold of the campaign
il is just as well to remember these
things, and by individual effort and ex-
tending the circulation of Republican
newspapers, make sure of additional
votes at the end of the canvass.

All the leading journals in Paris have
editorials on the result of the impeachment
of the President of the United States. The
lMonaeur says the Radical party has lost
ground without gaining the end which it
proposed. The PresSe thinks that the result
is not final, and believes the nation viii de-
eide the issue in the coming Presidential
election. The Opinion regrets the vote of
seven Republican Senators for acquittal, and
attributes their action to fears that the con-
viction of the President might preciPitste a
crisis.

ground of being the special friend Of

TIE DEMOCRACY WANT GRANT TO
RESIGN,


Democratic newspapers are very anx-
ious to see whether Gen. GRANT will
resign his commission in the army,
now that he has been nominated for
the Presidency, and some of them re-
fer to McCLELLAK's example in 1854
The reference is unfortunate for them,
as MoCLELLAN held on to his position
as Major-G General to the day of election.
Gen. GRANTS election will be his pro-
motion to the rank of Commander-in-
Chief and in accordance with the will
of the people he will not resign his
commission as General until they have
placed in his hands the title to the high
er rank.

that way. We can assure the AdUsr-

THE suggestion was ventured at the first
announcements of the death of King Theodore
of Abyssinia, that it was possibly one of his
chiefs who had volunteered to die in his
place. Subsequent accounts seem to settle
the fact that what was at first suggestion is
in fact reality. A foreign paper of recent,
date announces that recent news from Suez
states that Theodore was not killed, neither
did he blow his brains out, but he escaped,
and the English, ignorant of his whereabouts,
announced his death.

A WRITER in late magazine tells story,
which he had from the late Major Noah, to
the effect that when James Gordon Bennett
first applied for work at the office of the old
Courier and Enquirer, he was in such dis
tress that the kiud-hearted Noah first gave
him quarter of dollar to get dinner
with before beginning to talk with him
about his future occupation. After Mr.. Ben
nett had satisfied his hunger he made bar
gain with Major Noah, and went to work
His duties included sweeping out the office
in the morning, in addition to his other
more literary avocations. There are few
men in history, who, from such small begin
nings, have risen to such wealth and power
as Mr.. Bennett.
