About Money.

In 4 late number of Ilnpe,'s Mag
a-ine story appeared embOdying
terse disquisition on money. This
is the most af it:
When one man has money, and
another has not, they contend ior its
possession. This is trade, or rob
berry, according TO circumstances.
There are three uses for money
the use of getting it, and the Use OF
keeping it, and the use of spending
it. Consequently it classilies the
bulk of mankind into money-getters
money keepers and mOney-spenders.
Except the misers We read OF in nov
els, men do not love money for itself,
any more than soup tickets, or bag
gage checks, or promissory notes, or
little deeds. The ''lOve of money!
is the pleasure Of mental function is
getting, or keeping, or SPENDING
The sponge and the spendthrift are
equally guilty with the miser.
The class OfmOney-getters includes
merchants, gold miners, pickpOckets,
politicians and professional beggars-
Americans are great mOney-getters,
but they do not care to keep it
Hence, this is a country OF great
incomes, but small fortunes.
The class of mOney-keepers in
small. Literary men are not fond OF
it. Lawyers are TO good at keeping
money, particularly if it is other peo-
piles. Money, like some other essen,
ces, has pungent, sweet taste but
to keep must be corked tightly. 1t
evaporates in the open air, and the
vapOr is called interest. A mortgage
is a condensing instrument which
enables a money keeper to eyaporate
a money -spender.
The class of money-spenders in
cludes the majority of mankind. 1t
is natural to spend IN oney before we
get it. We are born to this, and cost
great deal more before We earn
anything The power TO get into
debt is essential to the happiness of
all shiftless people, including most
of the government OF Europe. Col
lege students and married women,
who have no capacity to bind them
selves, satisfy this propensity by
getting their fathers and husbands
into debt if possible.
Money is like gunpOwder. To
make it carry charges it should be
carefully measured and well rammed
down. Its explosive power depends
on the tlghtness with which you held
it. Scattered loose 1t fizzles away
with no effect.

FIND4AY OHIO, MORNING
THE GID BARN.

Riclkety, old and crazy,
Shineleless, lacking some doors;
Bad in the upper story,
Wanting boards III the floor;
Beams Strung thick with cobwebs,
Ringe-pOle yellow and gray,
Hanging in helpless innocence
over The inoWs Of hay.
How the winds turned around it
Winds Of "a stormy day
Scattering the fragrant hay-seed,
Whisping the StTaws away;
Streaming in nj the crannics.
Spreading the clover smell,
Changing the dark old granery
lntoa ilowery dell.
Oh. how ] loved the shadows
That clung To the silent roof
Day-dreanIs woVe with the quiet,
Many II Sliitering wool;
climbed 10 the highest rlfter,
Watched the swallows at play,
Admired the knots in the boarding,
And rolled in the billows of hay!
Palace of King couldn't match it,
The Vatican loses its charm
When placed i'll my memoryS balance
Beside the old gray barn.
SplenlOr, wealth, may not charm us,
Association is ali
w. love the home of our childhood
Better than marbie-lloored lialli
sat for hours in The summer
ON the thIeSfiold grey,
And saw the cows in pasture
Take their laZy-paced way;
The lambs snow-white rs the daisiOs,
FroliclIed from hill to tarn-
Or fell asleep in the shadow
Made 10y the ''cleyer" old barn.
I've roamed DER the Southern country,
Stood in mosques of the East,
Gallopad in the Western prairies,
Gathered in contcntment at last;
And I'd rather scent the clover,
Piled i'm the barns rooInV iuows,
Than sit in the breath oi the highlands
Poured from Appenine brows!

Names Instead of Things.

The nomination of Rosecrans ex
empliiies the highest wisdom to which
the Democracy have attained. They
have arrayed themselves under the
shadow OF 4 name. They have so
far overcome the party aversion to
the war as to choose one of its her Ces
for standard bearer. In its way
nothing could he better.
But name is worthless except as
the sign of thing. Rosecraus
sounds well as candidate in OHIO.
To make the name ellicaciOus in Il
canvass, rs a proof of change i'll the
Democratic heart, it must De associa-
ted with evidence OF change in the
Democratic policy. And for this We
look in vain i'll the Ohio platform,
which, like the platform of the Cali
fOrnia Democrats, is an expression
of unabated hostility 10 the results
of the war. There will be no perma-
nence in reconstruction il the men
who nominated Rosecrans can pre-
vent it. The national creditor will
fare as badly as though Pend1eton
were President, if their purposs:s be
upheld.
We have the spectacle. then, Of a
gallant Union soldier cOnsenting to
be the instrument of a party whose
principles and objects are incospat-
ible with the peace of the Union SIS
restored on the Congressional plan,
and with the national honor rs affect
ed by the debt. How ROsecrans
feels in his new-found company, or
how he will manage to stand on the
platform constructed for him, it were
not easy to guess. Perhaps the SER
vice he tried to render Andrew
Johnson at the Vir ginia Springs may
have prepared him for his present
position, anomalous and untenable
as to others it seems to be.
But how can ROsecrans help p the
Democratic party? His name would
be worth something to a legitimate
connection, and in circumstances
reconcilable with his opinions and
actions during the war. Allied to
the Democracy, it loses whatever
charm it possessed. He will be
Judged by the company he is in now,
and his war declarations will be
neutralized by the policy which at
present receives his approval. ~

A Few Rather Personal Observations
Concerning Some of Our Democratic
Friends

Hubbell, of Delaware-that is, the
immortal Jeems--has managed &c
get himself nominated for State Sen.
ator in the Delaware and Licking
District. Although he is but a no.
vice in the Democratic party-the
pin feathers being barely visible
yet tits strange how his chronic i'm
portunities for official favors have
succeeded with the plant Democra-
cy. He is now around and about
Democratic conventions, as "thick as
lleas on a dog and the fact is there
is no such thing as shaking him off
lie used to be just as prompt at Re
publican conventions, and he never
came without bringing a dull axe to
grind. When the Republicans re-
fused to turn the grind-stone longer
for him, he went into the Democrat
ic party, declaring that he had not
been Republican for several years
The Democracy will find him worse
than the seven years. itch, for while
he has no settled principles to gov
ern him-being led by misty, unde-
Unable chimera, prompted in the main
by selfish spirit-he will he fore
most in aspiring to such positions
as his fancy may lead him to think
he is especially fitted by nature to
fill. James is curious bird. We
are most heartily glad he is not in
our army.
r. l.. p. Baber, of Columbus, is
another politician of the Hubbell
stripe. With no helm or principle
TO his craft, he floats on the p0liti-
cal sea like a soap bubble, keeping
only an eye on the best pasturage.-I
He left the Republican party several
years ago, and now is about to be
rewarded with seat in the Legisla-
ture. Baber is like a seventeen-year
locust in one respect--the most there
is Of him is noise.
Sam. Cary is the third link in this
rotten chain. He has, we believe,
belonged in turn to every political
party, and has advocated every shade
Of political doctrine. He has dab
bled in everything, and been cOnsis-
tent in nothing. The most promi
nent feature with Cary is that, by
some strange infatuation, he believes
he was specially created to ill some
position. This position
ne thought to be the GOyernorship |
1f Ohio, and hence he offered him
self before the late Democratic con-
gention. lie failed in his purpose.
But we would advise him to stick to
he Democratic party. 1t is the
Dest place for him. He could not |
eel we'll at home in the great nation
Il Republican party. which can have
10 charity whatever for such iniser-
.ble, selfish, doughfaced politicians. |

The ice factory of New Orleans,
situated in one OF the elevators, is a
great success. 1t consists of six re-
torts of chemical freezing mixture.
From these six retoTts six pipes de-
scend to six huge chests, which
chests in turn radiate severally off
into four compartments. In each
compartment are long, thin, tin cas-
es, seven on one side and eight on
the other. This making by all the
rules of arithematic a total of fifty
six cases in a box, and there being
four boxes to q chest, and six chests
to a factory, it follows that at a full
blast this Southern ice factory can
turn out 1914 cakes of ice, eighteen
inches long, twelve broad and two
thick, at the completion of each pro.
cess. The ice is much colder than
that frozen naturally and lasts much
longer. The factory is joint stock
enterprise, and the property is ex
Ieeedingly lucrative,

Dnn'E lake Down V0ur SIGN.

Some time ago one of our bnsi-
ness firms, which had done no gener-
al advertising for sometime, receiv-
ell letter from Cleveland enquiring
il il still existed, and was doing bus
mess if it was lie wished it to fill
an order which was enclosed. The
writer said he had looked the Herald
over and over, but not being able to
fad the firms advertisement, had TO
write and enquire. Since that time,
said firm has advertised, and Makes
money by doing it. This is fact
from which all business men can
draw a lesson. 1t applies to all
alike. They may not have the I'M
portance of advertising always thus
ioreibly brought to their minds, so
that they can see its tangibility, but
their thronged stores, theirincreased
purchases, their extended sales, and
their bank balances, speak in its fav-
or, and it should not be discontinued.
Is there a business man in Mansfield,
who, for moment would entertain
the thought of taking down his sign ?
Not one: the very idea carries alb
surdity upon its face. Now an ad-
vertisement is simply a sign, and
not only sign telling you where to
get bargains, or to get anything else
you may desire. Don't take down
your sign then because trade is
little dull, or because business has
sacked up. If you don't advertise,
the people will naturally infer that
YOU have closed out and quit bust
ness. Don't you see ?-"Fling out
your banners on the outward walls
let it be known that you still live,
move and do business.--Mansfeld
Herald.

The law of advertising had n
proper elucidation, a few days ago,
in New York. The publishers of q
daily paper sued the Standard Life
Insurance Company, in the Supreme
Court, before Judge Fithian, for a
bill OF SI13 on account of advertis
ing. The Company resisted pay
ment on the ground That they had
authorized but one insertion. There
was no proof however of this. There
was no order to that effect upon the
bill, and the Company did not at
tempt TO deny that they saw the ad-
vertisement continued in the paper
and failed to countermand it.-An
advertisement received in a publica-
ton office, without the number of
insertions marked upon it, or the
cost of the insertions paid for at the
time, the publisher can know moth
ing Of the wish of the advertiser
respecting the number of insertions
desired, and can do nothing until
advised by him whose business it is.

The Public Finances.

~ lew days ago General Garfield, {
statesman of the most undoubted
yeracity, made speech at Colum-
bus, IN which he gave resume, more
particularly in a financial point OF
view, of the first four months oi
Grants administration. That exhibit
has been before the country, and has
challenged Democratic criticism
without eliciting it. We have yet to
see any attempt even TO analyZe and
hold up to reproach or ridicule this
Garfield demonstration OF the falsIty
of copperhead calumnies. Bare
assertion is all that the railers bring
up against it, and mere say-so is OF
no account when opposed by facts
and figures that cannot be gainsaid.
General Garfield first touched upon
the corrupt rings which, under
Johnson, gained such mastery of
public administrative affairs. Take
the whiskey ring for example. He
says that in May, 1868, the total
manufactures gave the revenue but
81 500, 900, whereas last month it
produced S4,500,000, with thirty-six
collection districts yet to be heard
from. The other branches of the
revenue service exhibit proportIonate
improvement. Although the first
three quarters of the fiscal year
yielded but $3.50, 900, 900, the current
quarter will yield not less than
500, 100000, or $4,000, 900 more
than was received in any single
quarter under johnson. That the
receipts of the Government have
been greatly increased is beyond
controversy. Turn now to the
expenditures.
From the same source we learn that
the first three quarters of the
present fiscal year the expenditures
to $256,000, 900. or an
average exceeding $50, 100000,
which, for the current quarter, will
not exceed $60,000,0 900, or $25 ,0O0,-
600 less than in any other qlarter OF
the year. 1t is safe to conclude |
that, unless some extraordinary
event occurs, the appropriations
made by Congress, reduced though
they were from the estimates of the
Johnson Cabinet, will he more than
enough to meet all exPenditures.-
Garfield estimates the surplus at
S3T 100000. This, however, is
conjecture, the other figures we have
given are not based at all upon guess
work.
AS a result of this increase of
receipts and decrease of expenses,
he National debt is being steadily
reduced. There is to-day (July l)
lue interest on the public debt,
inclusive of the Pacific Railroad
bonds, So, 100000 in gold and
50 900, 900 in currency, or there

recalls vividly to my memory q
scene of thirty years ago, when L
knew him first, young, delicate, in
tellectual looking student at Bur-
lington, Vermont. 1t was at the
Junior exhibition in the beginning
of August, 1889. The great Ken
tuckian, everywhere regarded as
sure to be the nominee of the Presi-
dental Convention to be held in the
succeeding December, was making
a sort of triumphal progress in ad-
vance through the Eastern States,
to let his future supporters see the
man they were to vote for. He hap
pened to be at Burlington at Conn.,
mencement, and, of course, was
sought by the authorities as the
crowning attraction of the occasion.
He occupied the central seat upon
the stage in front of the pulpit, in the
iull gaze OF an assemblage compris-
ing all that Burlington and its nei gh-
borhOOd for many miles around
could boast of charming and brilliant.
Crowds surrounded the church una
