How 10 Judge Books.

Would YOU know whether the ten
dency of a book is good or evil, exam
inc in what state OF mind you lay it
down. Has it induced you to suspect
that what YOU have been accustomed to
think unlawful, may, after all, be inno-
cent, and that may be harmless which
You have hitherto been taught to think
dangerous Has it tended TO make
YOU dissatisfied and impatient under the
control of others and disposed you to
relax in that selfgovernment without
which both the laws of God and man
tell us there can he no virtue and cOnse-
quently no happiness? Has it attempt
ed to abate Your admiration and rever-
ence for what is great and good,
and to diminish in You the love
of your country and your fel-
low creatures? Has it addressed itself
to your vanity, your selfshness, or any
other of your evil propensities? Has
it defiled the imagination with what is
loathsome, or shocked the heart with
what is monstrous Has it disturbed
the sense of right and wrong which the
Creator has implanted in the human
soul? If so-you are conscious Of all
or any of these effects-or if having
escaped from all, you have felt that
such were the effects it was intended to
produce, throw the book into the fire,

Republican Meeting To-Day.

Our Republican friends of this city
and county hold their meeting to-day in
the Court House TO appoint delegates to
the Parkersburg State Convention. 1t
will be more than an occasion OF ordl-
nary interest from the fact that it will
be the first time in the history Of par
ties in this county when there was a
comminghng Of black spirits and
white in the same convention. The
negroes are specially invited into the
meeting to-day by the address of the
State Executive Committee, and as they
were accidentally" thrown out of
the procession on memorial
day by laundering marshals, it Is ex-
pected that the amcnde honorable Will be
made on this occasion by the assign
ment of all the front seats to the
sable-colored portion of the audience;
and to make the amcsdc entirely salts
factory and agreeable, it is, we suppose,
fully agreed that at least one colored
man (pure black) shall be appointed on
the committee of Resolutions, and two
Zone black and one Yellow shall be ap-
pointed as delegates to the Parkersburg
Convention. This happily conceived
arrangement, which had its origin in
che well matured thoughts of our dis
Greet neighbor on Quincy street, will
harmonic matters handsomely and
bring the two races into the most
happy communion around the same po-
litical and social chessboard. We pre-
sumo also that it is not premature for
us to announce the interesting fact that
proper arrangements have been or will
be made "a Ia SUMNER) to have first
class staterooms secured to the two col
ored gentlemen on the vessel that shall
bear the delegates to Parkersburg, so as
to teach that race that the great car
dinal Republican principle Of equality
and fraternity" which has been made to
dazzle the eyes of the blind and of fools
for the last four years, is substantial
reality, and not sham and a deception
to gull the ignorant and cheat the ne
gro. This is happy thought
P.S. It's understood that the editor
of the ItetHgencer will act as the Usher
at the meeting to-day, and will see to it
that every colored man who attends is
escorted 10 front seat, and pro
tected from all intrusions from mar
shals, policemen or sergeants. This Is
another happy thought and our col
ored friends, we hope, will attend to-day
in large and imposing numbers, and in
full regalia.

4 Tooth I'm His Tongue.

On Monday morning very peculiar
surgical operation was performed in the
drug store of DR.. T. c. Rowels, in
Bridgeport, Ohio. 4 man came into
the house who had been suffering for
eight years with healing at the root
of his tongue lie applied to Drs.
Todd and Rowels for relief, as his long
suffering from the painful ulcer, occa-
stoned by a pistol shot in 1862, which
penetrated his cheek, was such as to
make him favorable to any operation
for relief DR.. Todd probed the ulcer
with an instrument, coming III contact
with Il hard substance. The man :
tongue was split to the root, and a
molar tooth taken from the ulcer, the
tooth having been driven into his tongue
bv the bullet.

American Gifts UndercIot thing.

A foreign correspondent writes:
There was,an article in London paper
the other day concerning American ex-
trayagance in dress, which called atten-
ton particularly to :tbe underwear OF
American girls. Some countess, who
had travelled with several of our coun-
trvwomen- on the continent, expressed
great establishment at the fneness and
costliness of their underclothes. Hers
was thrown entirely in the shade by
those of her Republican friends She
doubted if the cambrics, linen and
laces of the Princess ROYAL exceed
in value those of the girls she saw. She
also spoke OF their outside laces and
silks, the little apparent value that was
set on them. 1t is true, then, in gen
eral, the American girl is dainty in the
choice of her inner garments. This
kind of clothing, Of the most expensive
make, is seen in the shops here en-
broidered in intrinsic patterns and
trimmed with costly lace, and there is
a ready sale for it even at the high
prices asked for the article.

Nothing can ever shake its reputation, for
