The Athens Bullies.

The bullies, claiming to be men, who
preside over the Messenger at Athens,
have, after resting and dressing their
wounds, received at our hands during
last Falls campaign, rallied to abuse us
again.
JENNINGS, the Publisher, MOORE, the
Owner, and WILDEs, the Editor of the
Messenger, a trio of insignificant crea-
lures, are the aforesaid bullies. They
charged us during last years campaign
and were badly. repulsed. They then
hunted up their Prosecuting Attorney
and had us indicted for beating them at
their own game.
MOORE was elected to Congress, and
all that has come from him to this time
is aye and no.
WnDEs, at home in Athens, d-ns
Monroe County Copperheads because
they estimated him at his full yalue-0.
JENNINGS, well, he cont amount to a
hill of blue beans.
If these ruf1ians desire a controversy
they will have to go elsewhere. We
completed the job last year. of cruelty
ing them, to our entire satisfaction, and
to the satisfaction of the Democracy of
Monroe County, Bro. BOND. of the
Scioto Gazette, We think, stands ready
to accommodate them.

For Consideration of Mothers.

Bowed legs and knocking knees are
among the commonest deformities of hu-
manity and wise mothers assert that the
crookedness in either case arises from
the afflicted one having been put upon
his or her feet too early in babyhood.
But a Manchester physician, DR.. Cromp-
ton, who has watched to the true cause,
think differently. He attributes the first
mentioned distortion to the habit some
youngsters delightin ofrubbing the sole
fone foot against that of the other;
some will go to sleep with the soles press
ed together. They appear to enjoy the
contact only when the feet are naked,
they don't attempt to make it when they
are socked or slippered. So the remedy
is obvious keep the baby's soles covered.
Knocking knees, the Doctor ascribes to
a different childish habit, that of sleeping
on the side with one tucked into the hol-
low behind the other He has found
that where one leg has been bowed in
ward more than the other, the patient
has always slept on one side, and the up
permost members has been that most de-
Here the preventive is to pad
the insides of the knees so as to keep
them apart and let the limbs grow freely
their own way. All Of which is COM
mended to mothers who desire the ply
sical uprightness of their progeny.

Minnesota Nliscec enation.

Last year Minnesota voted to enfran-
chise the negroes. Since their enlran-
chisement the amiablc colored folks in
that State seem to have labored under
the same delusion as their brethren
elsewhere. -Four horrible outrages late
ly committed in Minnesota by negroes
upon white women, show the negro's
opinion to be that, when he is enfran-
chised, white women have no rights

quirer thinks that in these days Of "nec-

The Constitutions, Au,aadmeat

Hon. John II. James, of Champaign
County, and one Of the ablest lawyers
i'll Ohio, in speaking of the Fifteenth
Amendment, so-called, which the Radi-
Gals are attempting to force upon the
country, says:
The people Of q State alone have
the power to amend their own Constitu-
ton and this Constitution they make
and change at pleasure in subordination
to the Constitution Of the United States
as originally made. Under this power
the people Of Ohio have determined by
Il large majority that they would not
strike out the word Whit so as to give
the right Of voting to people who are not
white. Now they are warned and sum
moned by the Reyolutionists that they
are bound to ycte for the 18th amend
mcnt because it is a Republican meas
urc The 18th amendment, even if
counted on by three fourthS Of the Leg
islatures, will still be a nullity, for it is
not an amendment of the Constitution
or Of anything in it. Congress has no
power to propose anything but amend
ments, and the Legislatures Of the States
have no power to consent to anything
but amendments. All the amendments,
$50 called since the twelfth, are revo-
lutouary acts, not binding on the States
and no juggling in Congress, and no
casual recognition Of them by sequen-
tiaI judges, can give them force. The
people Of OHIO make their own Consti
tuition, and they do not agree to have
their Constitution altered by sheep tag

A Curious Case for Surgeons-NIedi-
Cal Skill Baffied

A curious case for medical men has
just come to light at St Mary's Hospit-
al in Detroit 1t appears that about seven
weeks ago a gentleman of that city,
having retired in sound health the night
before, awole in the morning and was
astounded on discovering that during
the night his right hand and wrist had
swollen fully to twice its natural size. and
yet, strange as it may seem, he expert
enced no pain. A physician was called,
and the medicines usully applied in cases
of swelling were resorted to, but without
other effect than to increase the swelling
Other medical advisers were called, but
none were able to give the singular dis
ease name. Four weeks elapsed and
the swelling finally ripened and discharg
ed a small quantity of thick matter, but
the hand Immediately began to. swell
again and it was soon worse than before.
His case baffied the skill of the most emil
nent physicians and surgeons of the State
and the patient was finally removed to
st. Mary's Hospital. 1t is stated that
he has suffered little or no pain, from
first to last, but the hand is useless.
The wrist and palm have received deep
red hue, and the circulation of the blood
in those parts seems to have entirely sus.
pended.

From the Columbus Crisis

Two WEEKS ago the Ohio State Jour
nal was lashing its party into the sup,
port Of the fraudulent Fifteenth Amend,
ment, declaring that thing to be the es-
sence Of the struggle in the State cam
paign. The Jacobin State Convention
endorsed that amendment in mealy-
mouthed and frightened sort of q way
and now the journal comes out with a
new dodge, intimating that the question
is not an issue. 1t says:
cit requires the concurrence of TWEEN
ty-eight States to make the Fifteenth
Amendment part Of the Constitution.
Twenty States have already ratified
it; and five more, exclusive Of Ohio, are
certain to do the same thing. The ques-
ton is already settled If the Democ-
racy of Ohio want to make fight on
this dead issue, let them pitch in
This means that the Abolitionists ap-
prove of the policy of forcing vital con-
stitutional amendments upon the people
of Ohio in defiance Of their emphatic
protest. The negroes of Florida and
the harbarOus blacks Of the Gulf States,
marshaled by the most depraved white
renegades on the face of the earth, are
to upset the Constitutions Of States,
whose people ale practically prohibited
from expressing their opinion upon the
subject. And this proceeding is endor-
sed by the organs of the party which is
perpetuallv bowling about freedom, lib
ertv and republican institutions. Such
fellows are Only fit to be slaves, as na-
ture seems to have provided them with
the qualifications for that condition in
making them servile, menial, trcacher-
Gus to their own race, and ready to sell
themselves and their progeny for any
price they can Get.

From the White Cloud Chief.
A Severe Case OfWOrmS,

An old man named Christal Poff, OF
German descent, living in Missouri in
the locality known as "Crackers's Neck"
has been for years afflicted with a dis.
ease which took the form of inordinate
thirst, that water could not allay. He
grew worse from year to year, until final
ly he became partially insane, and imag-
ined that all manner of reptiles were af-
ter him. About this time a celebrated
physician of the Uroscopian school hap.
pened in the neighborhood, and was call
ed in to examine the case. Having applied
the test in his practice, he at once pro-
nounced it chronic case of worms, and
Immediately set to work to compound
a remedy from well known vegetable
medicines. The mixture was composed
of equal parts of castor oil, wormwood,
tansy, rue and assafetida.
After administering repeated doses
ofthe compound he finally succeeded in
starting the patient TO vomiting when
the whole cause ofhis disorder came to
light. He threw up ten fish worms,
three lamprey eels, seven crawfish, one
mud turtle, five Lizards, two tree frogs,
one bull snake, section of worm fence,
and the worm Of copper still contain
ing sixteen coils He at once spoke Of
being better, and has steadily improved
ever since. He has no idea how or
when these things got into his stomach,
but remembers having taken a drink of
water when q boy, which act was per-
formed by lying on his belly and drink
ing from the tail-race ofa distillery.
Those who feel like it'may doubt this
story, but we do not; for we have lately
conversed with a gentleman who saw the
old man have money purse, which he
assured him was made of the skin Of one
of the cells.

Mr.. ,Reverdy Johnson,s Accounts.

The accounts of Mr. Reverdy johnson
ex-minister to England, were audited a
few days ago at the Treasury Depart
ment. HIS telegraph bill for the three
months ending June 81 amounted to
$3.50 in gold. This was exclusive of
the large bill which was presented some
time ago for cable telegraphing in ref
erence to the celebrated protocol which
the Senate rejected, and which has been
paid by Barring Brothers on the order of
the State Department Mr.. Johnson S
contingent expense during the same pc
riod, amounted to S1,567, which is CON
sidered moderate. The contingent ex-
penses of Minister Dix, at Paris, for
similar period, amounted TO $1,000
The comparison of both items will show
that Mr.. johnson was not, after all, so
very extravagant.-DespGtcA to the New
