Earl Dcrby's Obituary.


LONDON, Oct. o5, 1862
Nearly all the metropolitan papers to-day have
obituary notices OF the late Earl Derby.
The London Times, in Its obituary article on the
Late Lord Derby, says
No one can be a statesman without statesman
like temperament. With TINS the Earl OF Derby was
never endowed He was too impulsive to resist the
temptation OF making sallles enemies both IN ana
out OF season. His sneer at the Italian struggle viii
be remembered as Il proof OF his recklessness in
speaking on foreign affairs. The Duke OF Wellington
beQueathed to him his influence i'll the House OF
Lords, but the bequest could not be executed. The
mantle OF the Dukes soderiKe virtues had not de-
scented on his successor Great as was his ascen-
dancy among the conservative peers he never
gained the confidence OF his countr, men.
The London Telegraph points to the fact that
Lord Derby employed his latest breath in public to
declaim with all the solemnity of an old man fading
from the world, against q measure OF justice and
necessity like the Irish Church bi and adds that
this shows how much the age and the country had
gone beyond him.
The London Standard predicts thar wne the pre-.
sent generation lives Lord DERBY Will be remenl-
bered throughout his own province not only as an
orator, scholar ana statesman, OF whom Lancashire
may well be proud, but as magnate, who in the
direst trial. took his place as leader IN the work OF
relief and charity, the rich who cared for the
sorrows OF tho poor and as the great man who
respected the pride Of the lowy; not the Premier
OF England, but as a kindly neighbor GENEROUS
friend and Christian gentleman
The London Ne,os speaks or him as follows:-
Lord DERBY was not great statesman but he was
p great political personality. He Will hold place
IN the history OF England not for what he did, stu
Tess for what he failed TO do, but for what he was.
He was the last Of the Darons-the latest, not the
least He was perfect example or the properly
arstOcrauc politician, with the faults and the vir-
tnes. the dignity and the fidelity OF his order.
When he seemed to desert principle he did SO under
She influences OF strongly felt II erroneousy inter-
preted obligations to his sovereign and his political
comrades.

CURING HAMs.-Here is q valuable
recipe for curing hams and keeping
hem through the summer:
Weigh the hams and make brine
allowing one ounce of salt to every
pound of meat, and one onnce of salt
peter to every 25 pounds. Pack the
hams closely, sprinkling a little salt
on the bottom of the tub, and fill the
chinks with stones. Have just brine
enough to cover them well, and let
them lie four or five weeks. Then
take them up dry and smoke them,
wrap them in paper and pack them in
ashes, in cool, dry cellar. This will
keep the flies from them and prevent
them from getting dry and hard. We
have used this receipt for nearly
wenty years, never had any hams to
spoil, and they are not too salt. They
will keep the year round.

PROFITABLE BUSINESS
to the statement of the Directors of
the Second National Bank of Cleve-
land, the losses of that institution by
the defalcatlon of its late Cashier
amounted to $4,000, besides loss
not ascertained upon paper discounted
by the Cashier without the knowledge
or consent of the Directors. Yet it is
thought that the stock of the bank
will be worth par, as these losses do
not entirely cover the amount of the
reserve fund. The bank has capital
of 100000, and has doubtless, made
the usual semi-annual dividends
among its stockholder. 1t certainly
must be pretty profitable business
where an institution in addition to the
dividends of from 6 to 10 per cent. to
its stockholders, is able to lay up q
reserve almost or quite equal to its
capital stock in the short space of six
or seven years.

To PREVENT Cows FROM HOLDING
UP MILK.-Various means have been
devised by which to cure cows of the
ruinous and yexatious habit of hold
ing up their milk. One of the latest
remedies proposed is presented by a
correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette. His advice is to milk the for
ward teats perfectly dry, then change
to the two hind teats, and milk very
fast until the milk is entirely drawn.
This will produce the desired result.
He does not venture any statement
as to the philosophy of the process,
but adds, as proof of its efficacy, the
statement that he has tried it on COW
possessed of great obstinacy in this
line, and with perfect success.

water; one of raisins; one of sugar ;
one of molasses; one-half of butter ;
one teaspoon of cloves; one of nut

III UHUIttHy COUTt6T.
The deceased was, we believe, the
oldest editor in Ohio. He came to
this place in 1910, and established the
Geauga Freeman, a Wing paper,
which he afterwards sold to Davis T..
Bruce, who continued its publication
under a new name. Four years ago,
while living 10 the family of his SON
in-law, Mr.. A. Booth, of this place, he
occasionally set type in our Office, and
his vigor of both body and mind, for
one so old, seemed to us truly remark
able. He was well known to many
of the older citizens of this County,
who will read the announcement of
his death with regret.-Geauga Dem

AT recent meeting Of the mana
gers of the Pennsylvania Hospital, a
resolution was adopted that COM
mittee be appointed to confer with the
medical and surgical authorities of
the hospital to provide for separate
clinical instruction to female students
of medicine on at least one day in
each week, and that, upon the compile
ton of such arrangement, the other
clinical lectures be confined to classes
composed of males only. This action
is in compliance with an earnest and
sensible protest by the medical pro-
fession of Philadelphia against mixed
clinics, and will commend itself to the
better Judgment of the public.

Death of Josenh VI. White.

On Wednesday, Nov. 18th, at the
residence of his son-in-law, Mr.. Hem
ry E. Hall, near Youngstown, Maho-
ming Co., JOSEPH WILKINSON WHITE,
in the SD year ofhis age.
Mr.. White was an early pioneer in
the State of Ohio, having resided i'll it
continuously over sixty-fiye years.
He was man of more than ordinary
powers of mind, having been an active
participant in all the events of public
interest that have transpired within
the State from its early settlement :;
but owing to a peculiarly unassuming
nature, preferred the quietude of a
private citizens life to that of prom
inent public one, which he had often
been urged by friends to accept. He
learned the art of printing when in his
minority of years, and followed the
newspaper editing and publishing
business all the active portion of his
life, and, in such avocations, until re-
cent years, has been quite well known
by large portion of the citizens Of
the State.
He was from early youth believer
i'll the Christian religion, and of late
years was connected with the Presbv-
terian Church. His dying moments
see emed 10 be bereft of all painful and
unpleasant emotions, either of body
or mind, the spirit leaving its earthly
tenement almost imperceptibly.

Our National Cash Account.

On the 1st inst. it was sent out from
Washington-and it was official-that
although the public debt statement
to-day shows a reduction of sixteen
millions for June, and thirty-nine mil
lions since March, the real fact is, that
for the fiscal year, just endod, the debt
has been decreased in twelve months
but SIC, 1913, 600. That is exactly the
decrease on the statement made to-day,
as compared with that of one year ago,
to-day.
Amt that glorious! We reduce
our National Debt sixteen millions a
year! At that rate, it will take over
sirteen hundred gears, to pay oT Ma

the election in Texas viii be postpon-
ed till after Congress meets. This
would be a death blow to the Jack
Hamilton party, the prospects of
which are constantly waning. Infor-
nation of recent date from that State,
regarding the canvass, has been receiv-
ed, in which Hamilton is reported to
have declared himself opposed to the
Radical party of the North, and to
have made several speeches filled with
promises to drive all the carpet-bag-

VIRGINIA AFFAIRS.
New York, July 14.-The HeraAd's
Richmond dispatch says when Gener-
al Candy commanded in North and
South Carolina in 1867 the Recon-
struction Elections were held, and he
not only inaugurated Governor Holden
Immediately, but directed that the
members elect of the Legislature be
admitted to their seats without taking
the test oath. 1t is nov claimed that
according to his own construction,
Governor Walker of Virginia should
be inaugurated Immediately, and the
test oath for members of the Virginia
Legislature should be suspended.
THE TEXAS PROCLAMATION.
The President to-day issued a pre-
.clamation designating the 3Oth of No
vemker as the time for submitting the
constitution adopted blythe convention
which met in Austin, Texas, on the
18th of June, to the voters of said
State registered at the date of such
submission. The Presidents -proclas.
nation of yesterday fixed the same
date for the election in Mississippi.
His decision in both cases was made
in utter disregard of the urgent re-
quests of the friends of Jack Hamh-
ton in Texas and Judge Dent in Mis-
sissippi, both of whom, it will be re-
membered, are the nomiuess for Gov
ernor of the Conservative Republican
in those States.

We will add. The Great Ulysses
