had told him, he saw large measure of wine
Standing upon the table. The unhappy
dervise raised it to his lips, and drank deeply
of the Intoxicating draught. A glow of fire
seemed to electrify his frame and he laughed
as he sat the vessel down upon the table
EAgain he drank; and he felt reckless and
careless of the consequences. He drank the
E1bird time and when he had emptied the
Measure, he ran out to the door of the grotto

Fed with indescri1able mirth. AS he turned

Behind him.

fayelfy awoke me from my sumbers, and

wlne9 Alas, is this merely one of the many
nights orgies and have now awaken to the
dread truth of thine impiety for the first time ?
| Alas, thou hast cast ashes upon the gray
head of thy father I"
Hamet could not brook this accusation,

toned to indulge in wine while his father
slept. lie felt suddenly indignant at the
language of his sire, and cried, . Return to
your couch, old dotard Thou knowest not
what thou sayest!"
his father violently into the grotto. The old
man resisted, and again demonstrated with
Hamet. The brain of the son was confused
with liquor and a sudden dread of exposure
to the world entered his mind. With the
ragelot a demon he rushed upon his hoary-
headed SIRE and dashed him furiously against
the stone walls of TIE grotto. The old man
fell with his temple against sharp flint
one groan emananted from his bosom-and
his spirit fled forever.
Suddenly conscious Of the horrid crime of
which he had been guilty, Hamet tore his
hair, beat his breast, and raved like a ma.
MAC. Aud in the midst of his rawlings, he
lifted up his voice against the majesty of
Heaven, and cursed the Deity whom he had
so long and feryently worshiped.
- AT that instant terrible din echoed round
about-the thunder rolled-the tall trees
shook with an earthquake-and, amidst the
roar of conflicting clements, were heard
shouts of internal laughter. All hell seemed
to rejoice at the fall of good man, whom no
other vice had ever tented away from the
paths of virtue until drunkenness presented
itself. The rage of the storm increased-the
trees were torn up by their roots-and frag-
ments of the rocky parts of Olympus rolled
down the hill with the fury of an Alpine
avalanche. Suddenly the Genie appeared
before the wretched lIamet, and exclaimed ::
Fool by choosing to commit the crime
which seemed to thee least, thou hast com.
mitted the other two likewise! For there is
more danger in the wine cup than in any
other means of temptation presented by Satan
to mankind"
And the last words of the Genie mingled
with the redoubled bowling of the storm, as
Hamet was borne down the slope of the noun
tain by the falling masses, and dashed to
pieces at the bottom.

CONSTITUTIONAL DIFFERENCES.

CONSTITUTIONAL DIFFERENCES
There are many constitutions so in
herently defective in energy as to
derive great benefit from moderate
use of pure liquor combined with
such vegetable medicines and ex-
tracts as enter into the composition
of Roback's Stomach Bitters, and
there are many situations in which
even the healthiest derive additional
security from their occasional use.
If healthy persons are exposed to
unusual and continued eXertion in
confined air, or under the heat of the
sun, or to the influence of depress-
ing watchfulness by travelling, and
change of diet and water, or if resi-.
dents of malarious districts or the
rank river bottoms of the West and
South, there can be no doubt but a
careful use of Ro6acks Stomach Bit
ters with the food would surely be the
means of wsrding off actual disease
and enabling them to bear up unsf-
fected where, without the Bitters,
they would likely have to succu NIB
to disease, They strengthen, tone
aud invigorate, aid digestion and
increase the appetite.

R The Dispatch, speaking of tn,

@ The Dispatch, speaking of the
Presidents message, says
''It is acknowledged by all thinking
men, to be the ablest document ever
eminating from President Johnson
In speaking of the public debt, "the
ablest document says:-
"The general impression as to the ex-
orbitancy of existing rates Of interest
has led to an inquiry in the public
mind respecting the consideration
which the Government has actually re-
ceived for its bonds, and the conclu-
sion is becoming prevalent that the
amount which it obtained was in real
money three or four hundred per cent
less than the obligations Which it issued
in return"
"Three or four hundred per cent. less!"
Any school boy will tell you that one
hundred per cent. less covers the whole
amount, and therefore absurd to speak
of "three or four hundred per cent.
less" "ADlest document. Better
go back to Tennessee and mend breech-
es.
Then, again, we have the Presidents
plan for paying the public debt. Here
it is, in his own words
"Our national credit should be sa-
credly observed, but in making pro-
vision for our creditors we should not
forget what is due to the masses of
the people. 1t may be assumed that
the holders of our securities have al
ready received upon their bonds a
larger amount than their original in
vestment, measured by gold standard.
Upon this statement of facts it would
seem but Just and equitable that the
six per cent, interest now paid by the
government should be applied to the
reduction of the principal in semi-an-
nual installments, which in sixteen years
and eight months would liquidate the
entlre DEBT.
In other words, if you loan mar
one hundred dollars, and he keeps it
SO long that the interest you have re-
ceived equals the amount of the note,
then you must not receive any more
interest, but may be paid the principal
in semi-annual installments of six per
cent. That is new way of paying a
debt. 1t is simply reputation, and it
is, probably, this feature of the mes,
sage which induces the Dispatch to
speak of it as "the ablest document
ever emanating from President John
son."
"Ablest document" Wonderful,
isn't it?

sE prof F,,F T.,n,x profos.or

R Prof. Eli f. TAPpAs, Professor
of Mathematics in the Ohio University,
at Athens, having been elected Presi-
dent of Kenyon College, his place in
the Ohio University has been supplied
by the election OF Col. w. H. G. An
NEY, native of this county. OF Col.
ADNEY, the Athens Messenger says:
Prof. Adney graduated here with
the highest honors of his class in 1860.
After graduating he superintended the
Harmar Union Schools until he entered
the q. S. service in 1861 as private
soldier in the seth Ohio Regiment
He was at once elected Captain of Co.
B of that famous Regiment, and re-
manned with it until the close of the
war. In October, 1869, he was pro-
NOTED to Major, and in May, 1864, to
Lieut.. Colonel, which rank he held un-
til mustered out of service in 1865.
Col. Adney was in all the great bat
ties in which his Regiment won 50 mag
niicent record-except Nilsson Ridge
and Lookout Mountain, occurring short
ly after the battle of Chickamauga, in
which he was severely wounded
among which might be mentioned
South Mountain, Antietam, Cloyd's
Mountain, Beech Grove, Tullahoma,
Lynchburg, Opequan, Winchester,
Fishers Hill, and Cedar Greek, and in
all he displayed great bravery, and won
for himself the name of being gallant
soldier and a christian gentleman
among his men and fellow officers.
He entered College in 1857, and, to
his credit be it said, he paid his way
by his own labors and earnings. His
parents, who reside in Gallia county
and where he was born and raised
were poor and unable to aid him in his
efforts to obtain an education.
He is hard student, lin fact we
think he devotes too much time to
study, and not enough to recreation)
and one of the best Mathematicians that
ever graduated from the Ohio Univer-
sity. He has displayed marked ability
as teacher while in charge of the
Preparatory Department, and has fully
entitled himself, by his arduous labors,
learning and culture, to the promotion
he has received.

~ A professed preacher, by the
name of HESRr HUeeARD. was ar
rested recently, in the back part OF
the county, charged with attempting
to commit a rape. The examining
magistrate sent the case to the Grand
Jury. While in charge of the con-
stable, and while pretending to be
looking for security for his appear
anee at Court, he eluded the vigilance
of that officer, and, like the ''demo-
crat" editor and Probate Judge of
Holmes county, who was indicted
for making illegal votes, "decamp-
ed" But, unlike said sdemocrat"
editor and Probate Judge, our Grim
NAL has not been found. He is non
est. He came from West Virginia,
and has no doubt gone whence he
came. We can spare him. His
morality don't suit Gallia county.
Because of the profession of the old
sinner, we have been watching the
Dispatch for an account of the mat
ter, done upon its sensational style
"a text for the slaughter of preach
ers in general, and this one in par
ticular. But not word have we
seen. Can it be possible that its
vials of wrath are closed because he
was a preacher of the ''Nasby"'
school, and not one ef the "l-o-i-l
p-e-r-s-w-a-tion?" We trust not
that would look bad. If he was
'poor negro" who, in search of
knowledge of the common Father of
of US all, should enter church for
that purpose, you might be sure that
same Springfield" correspondent of
the Dispatch would ventilate the mat
ter fully. But in this case it was ''nay
bull that gored the OK" and that, in
the view of the Chicago concern,
makes all the difference in the world

GE- Thomas A. T. JErr, of Marietta
township, was murdered for his money
on the evening of the 12th inst. The
Marietta Register says:
He had been in town, that day. to get
his two horses shod, and to pay his tax
es. He had considerable money with
him, probably S4OO or perhaps $500.
He started home, and just at dusk was
seen at the Brick Church, some two
miles below his place. He was bach
elor, and at the time there was no fam
lily in his house, but he was living alone.
Sunday morning, a German woman who
lives a neighbor, went to the house to
carry him a plate of meat, and finding
no one went to the stable door, which
was swinging, and there lay Mr.. Jelt,
across the passage at the rear of the
horse stalls, with his head in the second
stall from the door. She was alarmed,
and without waiting to examine, went
for her husband, who came, when he
was discovered to be dead and frozen
stiff. His head was badly beaten up,
the back Of the skull and the forehead
both broken in, also the right cheek
bone and jaw both broken; besides
there were several cuts and bruises, ev-
identity done with some sort of club;
the bleeding was profuse.
Subsequently, Simeon NJ. Devol and
Lafayette Lagrange were arrested as
the supposed murderers.

politics as well as in sll the other de-

heat the campaign, when they had
worked themselves into the belief
that Seymour would be elected
(and they did believe it, for they said
soD-they went SO far as to desig-
nate the man for the Post Office.
They did not even ask "our people"
for their consent-the "clique" said
it must be so, and that was sufficient.
But now-Seymour being defeated,
and circumstances somewhat differ
ent-they ''hope our people will take
the matter in hand" Bah! The
meanest kind of demagoguery and
nothing else.
But the "clique" need have no
fears-the "people will take hold of
the matter" in this as in all things
else for the honest and economical
administration of the government.
They have already taken ''hold of
the matter" in that they have elect
ed Gen. GRANT President. His ad-
ministration is to be one of and for
the people. In his letter of accep-
tance he said he should have no poll
cy but that of the ''will of the peo-
pie" 1t is not to be an administra-
ton of zone man power" or even

ton of the people for the good of the
