Political Temperance.

The great majority of the tenn
perance men of Ohio have wisely
resolved that the organization of a
political party, of which prohibition
should be the basis, would be worse
than useless. A few persons, how
ever, nominated Mr.. Ingersoll as a
candidate for Governor. That gen.
tleman, after mature reflection, de-
clined to serve, giving reasons for
so doing which ought to have sat
isfed his supporters of the folly of
their course. We find, however,
by the following letter, published
in the Temperance Era, that they
are determined to persevere, and
have induced a minister of Dayton
to act as their standard bearer:
DAYTON, o., August "a.
L. B. ,Siluer, Esq, Chairman Gen.
trGl Committee:
Sir-Yours of the 21st inst, ask
ing Of me my consent to use my
name as one of the standard bear
ers of the Prohibition party of
Ohio, came to hand yesterday. For
the last twenty years | have advO-
Gated the principles of prohibition,
and believe that the time has fully
come when temperance men should
fully yindicate this doctrine at the
ballot box. Thanking you for the
honor thus rendered to me, | ac-
cept the position, indOrsing fully
the principles as enumerated in the
Crestline platform.
Yours, respectfully,
SAMUEL SCOTT.

Renndiati0n.

The n. Y. Tribune makes the
following sensible hit in regard to
reputation:
Repudiators of the democratic"
stamp are generally very fierce up
on the "niggers. They will be
more so, if they believe what Mr..
Myers, colored shipwright of Bal
timore, told the Labor Congress in
Philadelphia. "The colored men
of this nation, he said, "are entire
ly opposed to the reputation of the
National debt. They go in for ev-
cry honest dollar borrowed to be
honestly paid back 1t may be
argued that they are poor creatures
after all, and pay no taxes. Bnt
we are not aware that the Repudia-
tors, taken as a class, are very gi-
gantic taxpayers, and we are pref
ty certain that they are not bloated
by bonds. What they can do is to
vote for reputation, to spite men
better off than themselves; what the
colored man can do, is to vote foI
fair and honest payment, to show
MS appreciation of the cause in
which most of the money was ex-
pended.

ORGANIZATION,

We cannot dwell too much upon
the importance of an early and ef-
ficient organization. To be efficient
organization must be effected at
once. 1t should extend to every
town, ward, township and school
district in Ohio. Every Republi-
can should be enrolled. Every
doubtful voter should be register
ed. 1t should be known precisely
where each voter stands. Voters
who are classed as uncertain must
be labored with. They must be
supplied with abundant reading
matter. They must be talked
with. As we are having perpen-
dicular party fight there are no
fears that any Republican will vote
for a Copperhead like Pendleton.
That is not the danger. The dan
ger is that through apathy every
Republican will not be certain to
vote against him. To defeat Pen
dleton votes must not only be with
held from him; they must be given
to Hayes. The work of organiza-
ton should not be left solely to the
County Central Committees. Can
didates should be particularly ac-
tive il working in this field. Each
earnest Republican should consider
himself committee of one to see
| to the classification of the voters
in his own neighborhood. Repub-
licans from the country on visit
to the county seat should call upon
some member of their County Com
mittee and report to him whatever
facts may be in his possession af-
fecting the interests of the party
in his own locality. If documents
are needed they can be and must
be obtained through the proper
channels. If school house meet
ings viii do good, speakers can be
secured on application to the prop
er committee. Thus it happens
that if any localities are neglected
the fault will rest upon the Repub-
lieans of those localities. If every
Republican will do his duty all will
be well.-Ohio State Journal.

The Coekroaeh.

The cockrOach is a bug at large.
He is one of the luxuries of civ
ilization.
He is easy to domestikate, yield
ing gracefully to ordinary kindness,
and never deserting those who show
him proper acts of courtesy.
We are led to believe, upon close
examination oV the outward crust
the fashionable insecks, that they are
a highly successful intermarriage
between the brunette pismire and
the arteculOus bevO, or common
American grasshepper
He don't leave the place he was
born at upon the slightest provyca-
ton like the giddy and vagrant flea,
or the ferocious bed-bug, and until
death, (or some vile powder, an in
venshun ov many knocks at his front
door, he and his brothers and sisters
may be seen with the naked eye
ever and anon calmly climbing the
sugar bowl, or running foot races
between the butter plates.
The cockroach is born on the fust
of May and on the fust of Novem-
Der, semi-annually, and is ready for
use fifteen days from date.
They are born from an egg-four
from each egg-and consequently
they are all of them twins. There
is no such thing in the annals of ma
ture as a single cockroach.
The maternal bug don't sett upor
the egg as the goose duth, but leaves
them lying around loose like PIN
of split mustard seed and don't seen
to care darn whether they get ripe
or not.
But | never knew cockroach egg
fail to put in appearance. They are
as sure tew hatch out and run az
Canada thistles or a bad kold.
The cockroach is of two collors
sorrel and black. They are always
on the move, and can trot, l should
say, on a good track and good day
cluss to three mini:s.
There food seems to consist not SC
much in what they eat as what they
travel, and often finding them dead
in my soup at the boarding house, ]
have come the conclusion that a
cockrOach can't swim, but they can
float.
Naturalists have all declared that
the cocpoach has double teeth
This is an important fact, and ought
to be introduced into all the primary
schools of America.
But the most remarkable feature
of this remarkable bug is the loveli-
ness of their natures. They can't
bite, nor sting, nor scratch, nor even
jaw back. They are so amiable that
| have even known them to get stuck
in the butter, and remain there all
day, and not holler for help, and
acktually to die at last Of a broken
heart. JOSH BILLINGS.

The item in regard to the rapid
change of the "Horse Shoe" fall, is
making its annual round of the
newspapers. That periodical trav-
eler makes its appearance in print
towards the close of the season, in
order to hurry up laggard tourists,
and to stimulate such as propose to
postpone a Niagara trip until the
next season, to make the trip i'm
mediately, lest the great cascade
may throw up Its Horse Shoe
before another season. 1t is now
stated that such change has been
wrought during the last year as to
very much destroy the horseshoe
shape cf the grand fall, making it
more of a triangle. For the infOr-
nation of "green 'uns" we would
state that the so-called Horse Shoe
fall has, for the last thirty years,
had little resemblance to a horse
shoe, and there is not the least fear
of its getting out of shape during
the present century.

Truthful Remarks.

Gov. Morton, in closing short
speech to the citizens of Morrow,
made the following truthful remarks,
which we commend to the careful
reading of every voter:
Although there are no members of
Congress to be elected, and the Off
GERS TO be chosen pertain entirely to
the Administration of State affairs,
yet the people are likely to be in
fuenced very largely in their votes By
their views in regard to national poll
ties The two candidates for Cover
nor may be said to be representative
men. Both personally unobjectiona-
| bic, their merits will be considered
entirely in a political sense. Cover
nor Hayes represents the loyal senti-
ment of the army, the loyal sentiment
of the country, the principles upon
which the war was conducted for the
suppression of the rebellion, and up
on which the reconstructiop of the
rebel States is being brought about.
Mr.. Pendleton represents very fully the
principles which governed the Dem
ocratic party in opposing the war, and
in opposing the reconstruction of the
late rebel States, and is fair expon-
ent of the views which the Democrat
ic party have long entertained in re-
gard to the sovereignty of the States
the right Of each State to determine
!, for itself the character of its griev-
ances and the remedy therefor.
The Democratic party claims that
its principles are Interchangeable; thai
it has not changed position in regard
to the rights of the States and theil
separate power for the redress Of
grievances nor has it abandoned it:
opinions as to the rightfulness of slav,
cry or the great aggression by which
it was abolished.
According to the highest standard
of authority in the Democratic party
the war has settled no principle in re
gard to the construction of the con
stitution or the rights of the States
and in the nomination of Mr.. Pen
dletou it has presented again for the
people of Ohio the old confession O
faith and the political creed to which
it has been devoted in years gone by
In choosing, therefore, between Gov
erDor Hayes and Mr.. Pendleton, thu
people will not vote in the dark, anC
need not be deceived as to the politi
cal doctrines which they will vote NJ
or down.
The general condition of the coun
try is highly prosperous, and thu
prospects for the future were never
more fattering. No reason can bt
given, politically or financially, fol
replacing the Democratic party ii
power, either in the State or nation
1t is an old maxim that "well enough
should be let alone" and there il
nothing in the past history of thc
Democratic party, or in the promises
which it makes for the future, tina
gives any assurance that it could il
any assurance that it could in any re
spect improve the condition of the
country or the government if the pow
er was placed in their hands.
On the contrary, we have every rea
son to believe that their conduct woClC
be reactionary that they would undo
as far as possible all that has beer
done, refuse to accept the results o
the war, and go back as nearly as pos
sible to the old state of things out O
which the troubles and sufferings o
the nation have grown.

At Lanark, Ill, is the oldest
warehouse in the West. 1t was
built in New Orleans sixty-one
years ago, and after standing some
time, was taken to pieces and NOV
ed to st. Louis, where it did service
for several years. Thence it was
moved to Savanna, where for years
it received and shipped many a
boat load of goods. Its last move
was to Lanark, where it now rents
for $500 a year.

THE LORDS PRAYER.-A maidel
knelt in the twilight hour, and clasp
ing her hands, breathed fervently
forth: "Our Father, who art il
Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name
A mother in deep agony of grief
gazed on her child, sleeping her long
last SLEEP, smile wreathing her soft
lips, and white hands folded across
that still and pulseless heart, and
kneeling there, the living beside the
dead, she prays: THY will be done. u
As the early beams of the orient
gilds the sleeping land, a widow with
her suffering little ones, chilled by
poverty and woe, bows at the throne
of grace, and fervently prays; "Give
Us this day our daily bread" !"
An aged father, as his beloved and
loving boy goes forth from his pater-
nal care, 70 brave the cold frowns of
life, kneels beside him on the eve of
departure. and pleads: Lead him
not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil, for thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory, forever and
ever. Amen

The Democracy of Ohio, in their
platform were very denunciatory
of the "bloated bondholders" who
have put their money in national
bonds and thereby thrown the bur-
den of taxation on the poor man;
but across the border of Ohio, over
in Pennsylvania, the Democrats
have nothing to say on that point.
The Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor is a man of immense wealth,
the result of profit on the labor of
his workmen. This wealth, to the
extent of several millions, he has
invested in national bonds and Sc
curities, because they were exempt
from taxation. Of all the bond
holders, he is the wealthiest in
Pennsylvania.

In Marion, Iowa, the parents of
boy about eight years old, be-
cause he had fits, kept him in a gar
ret, with a chain around his neck,
until he was mere skeleton and
so starved that he caught and ate
flies. Those who saw and talked
to him were convinced that the
cause of the fits Gf the parents sto-
ry is correct is the consequence of
the treatment he receives at their
hands. His entire person showed
unmistakable evidences of cruel
beating as well as starvation, un-
til life was almost gone.

but to pass over Lady Verinder's death

month elapsed from the time of my aunt's
dcceaSc before Rachel Verinder and met
again. That meeting was the occasion OF
my spending few days under the same
roof with her. In the course Of my visit
something happened. relating TO her mar
riage engagement with Mr.. Godfrey Able
white, which Is important enough to re-
quirc special notice in these pages.
When this last of many painful family
circumstances has been disclosed. my task

Ny aunt's remains were removed from

These signs Of desolation and decay
suggest an inquiry rs to tho cause, and tho
answer comes In the conclusion that they
have been brought about by cxtravngance
and fashion. II has become the fashion TO
have fewer children, and tho farmer who
once raised dozen boys who helped carry
on the farm prospcrously Is succeeded by
another who hires his help outdoor and In.
and finds at the end Of tho year that he
ha, scarcely saved enough to pay his en-
ployccs, If he has one or two sons or
daughters they cannot bc content with
humble fare at home, but must ape tho
fashions Of the city or village, and force
the ''old folks at home" into more style In
living than they can afford. The result
Is soon reached. Tho farm runs down
and Is ultimately sold, the proprietor
moving away to seek his fortune where
money Is easier to be got and where his
family can move In more fashionable So
cicty. DR.. Allen Of Lowell has shown by
reliable statistics that the Yankee race Of
New England is running out, and the rca-
sons for Il arc those we have given above.

tors more potent than NIL the Ellis that flesh

cd In this regard. the hill and mountain
