A genuine fairy story IS always ac-
captable. The more extravagant its
conceptions the more irresistibly it
appeals to our love of the marvellous,
and the more direct its access to the
heart. Mopsa is Q story of this kind.
1t abounds in the most wonderful
and sudden transformations and sur
prises, such as we would naturally
expect in dealing with FAIRIES, and
suggests reforms, especially in the
treatment of animals, that must make
good Impressions.
The London Echo, in a lengthy re-
view Of the book, contains the fol-
lowing paragraph:
In this charming little story, Miss
Ingelow has given US what our neral
consciousness tells us is q very true
picture of fairy nature, and we have
20 doubt the fairies will be proper
tionately grateful. Bat however they
may feel, she at any rate deserves the
thanks of mu0h-endHring moFtals.
MOpsa the FAIRY is one of those
children's books that men and women
are very glad to read. Miss IngeloW
has, of course, given the freest rein
to her fancy, but her fancles some

DIED.

Mr.. George Kipp died on Saturday
June 5, 1859, at his residence in the
east part of this township, aged u
years and 9 months. He had been a
resident of Montgomery township for
over 40 years. He was an exempla-
~ member of the German Reformed
Church, and an Elder in the same, for
many years. He was buried at the
cemetery of the German Lutheran
Church on Cototoway.
On the 7th day of June, 1869, of dyspep-
STA, Mr.. ROBERT NELSON of Milton Town
ship, Ashland Co., Ohio. Mr.. NELSON was
born January 31st, 1913, in Northampton
Co., Pa. He was married on the 26th day
Of August, 1887. He made a public profess
sion of religion in January 1888 and in
1910 was elected and ordained a Deacon in
the Mt. Bethel Presbyterian Church. In
May, 1S4S, he removed to Ashland county,
Ohio. Here he united with the Hopewell
Presbyterian Church, and was elected and
ordained an Elder in that church in Feb.
1S49. He continued to serve that church
acceptably until after the decease of its Pas
tor, the Rev. SAMUEL MOODY, when the
church ceased to exist. Mr.. NELSON then
united with the LIST Presbyterian Church of
Ashland and in 1861, was elected and in
stalled as an Elder. This position he con-
tinued to occupy until his decease. He was
a man of calm, clear judgment, great can
dor and kindness of heart, and humble, un-
obtrusive piety. He manifested a deep in
terest in the spiritual welfare of all, espe-
cially the youth of his neighborhood. He
met the last enemy calmly, without fear and
with a hope full of Immortality. The esti-
mate in which he was held by those who
knew him was expressed in the very large
number who followed his remains to the
grave.

He was buried in the Cemetery at Ash

the Spaniards say there were in all
700. The latter claim to have badly
whipped the former in the first en-
gagement, which was at a little place,
or rather point, called Banes. The
account given in the journals, especial
ly that in the DMrio, are singularly
ridiculous. Moody Viejo, a captain
of infantry, with only 120 men, claims
to have done this work for these "ad-
venturers," killing 60! capturing Z
cannon, 3 flags, and wounding 160.-
The account in one breath speaks of
the enemy as "cowardly," and in the
next moment says they fought hard for
four marital hours! And at the end of
such a long fight the spaniards lost
only 4 killed and Is wounded.
After such a brilliant battle one
would be lily prepared to learn that
the Government troops found it con-
venient and best to retire. If so, what
became of the cannon taken? Nor
have we heard anything further as to
the disposition made by the Spaniards
of the one hundred and sixty men. -
The whole story is official, but it is a
sheer fabrication from beginning to
end. The truth is this: The Span,
iards were thrashed and the evidence
is given by themselves. The official
account is that many vessels were
charged with carrying other troops to
the aid-and why? It may be said
here that Quesada and Jordan have

The Issue of the Next EIection-The
Fifteenth Constitutional Advancement.

Our contemporary of the Commercial
is emphatic in its idea that the Repub-
lican party in Ohio should join issue
with the Democracy, at the coming
election, in favor of the Fifteenth
Amendment. 1t thinks it would be
eminently wrong for its party to seek
to dodge or evade it in any manner.
In this view we are most happy to
concur with the Commercial. We
trust the party will come up manfully
to the issue, and allow us to see wheth-
err there are any more in favor of ne
gro suffrage than there W Re in 1867,
when it was defeated on a direct vote
by a majority of 10000.
The question ONE up now in a
form far more Objectionable than it
did two years ago, Then it was pro-
posed that the white people of this
State,5w who alone have the right t oreg-
ulate its suffrage, should, of their own
accord, strike the word "white" out
of the, Constitution. Had they done
it, it Would have been their own act,
and in accordance with the theory ola
republican government that a majority
must rule.
Now the people are not allowed to
vote fairly and squarelY upon it. The
Radicals dare not submit it to a pop
| ular vote. Those who r opposed to
it must vote for candidates of that
stripe at the election for the Legisla-
ture and for State offices, or they will
be counted in its favor. They must
| sacrifice party or personal predilec-
tons, or they can not be heard in the
matter.
The Radicals are hoping that thou
sands of men, from party preferences,
who would not put negro suffrage up
on their ballots, Will, nevertheless,
vote for those who are in its favor,
and who will assist in putting it in
execution.
Again, if three-fourths of the State
Legislatures under the Constitution
ratify this amendment, it is binding
upon us of Ohio, although we vote
against it. Thus, the Legislatures OF
States controlled by negroes-such as
South Carolina, North Carolina, Ten
nessee, Arkansas and Louisioana-are
to dictate to the white men of Ohio
who shall vote in this State. Who
ever heard before of a question
whether a new class of voters shall ex-
ercise the right of suffrage-being
submitted to hat class themselves for
determination? On this amendment,

Ed States d Uuion:-The pride of
our country is conferred in the educa-
t:onal advantages afforded to the mass.
To see our great State dotted here and
there with seminaries ~oflearning,
is the highest joy of the citi-
zen, fer as long as these remain, well
supported, shedding light and reason
we have no fear of our future. Prom
inent among the schools of northern
Ohio, stands the academy located here.
We do not say this boastingly, or,
that we have any personal interest,
save that which a student feels fer his
lima Mater, but the course of study (;
the manner of teaching; the interest
taken in the students welfare by the
Professor ; their interest exhibited in
their teaching, all render this the
Academy of northern Ohio.
The Academy year will close on
June 23d, 1869, and that the public
may be informed of the exercises at
its close we append them.
On Tuesday evening June %, the
"1rving Literary Society" will give its
regular annual entertainment. On
June 23d the Anniversary exercises,
proper, will take place. The "Anni-
versary Address will be delivered by

was submitted to the people, in almost
every case, have acted without giving
the masses any opportunity to be heard
in the matter.
Considering these things, can there
be possibly a greater fraud than this
Negro Suffrage Amendment? Is it
possible to devise a moral internal po-
1itical outrage? Yet there are worse
things beyond it. The Southern States
of Texas, Mississippi and Virginia are
not to be allowed to exercise their
constitutional rights until they ratify
this swindle. Congress, under the
Constitution, can propose amendments
to the States, and this compulsory
process is termed a compliance with it.
The submission is no more binding
than is a deed or mortgage that is ex-
ecuted by a man who was in duress at
the time of its execution.
The people of Ohio ought to give
an infinitely large majority against
this attempt to thrust negro suffrage
upon them than they did in 1867.
They may prefer to do it by a direct
vote; but, we trust, there are honest
Republicans enough who, denied that
privilege, and reduced to the alterna-
tive of either voting the Democratic
ticket or casting their ballots for negro
suffrage, will unhesitatingly vote Dem
ocratic to carry the State by a large
majority.
We rejoice in the prospect that we
are to have again in this State the
Negro Suffrage issue, even h~ampered
as it is, and that the people will once
more have an opportunity to manifest
their hostility to that detested measure
by voting down the party which u
tains it.-Ehq.
