The Rsts Out Again.

The Ashland, O., Times, of this
week, says:
"RATs.-Two of these fellows
known among printers as Rats, one
from Cleveland and the other from
Columbus, were begging our citizens
for job work last week. They hung
around the Court House for a crumb.
Whether they succeeded or not we
cont know. Any oEe giving these
fellows work in preference to pat
ronizing their home printing offices,
should go to Cleveland and Colum-
bus for their customers, and not ask
Ashlanders to patronize them or vote
for them. If you have home insti-
tutions, patrOnize Mem.'' .-
One ofthese sneaks from Cleveland
was in Mansfield last week, and per.
haps the other from Springfield or
Columbus also; but we have not yet
learned whether they succeeded ia
rafting up any jobs. If these sneoks
spent their money here among all
classes Of business men, or did any
thing for the prosperity Of our coun-
ty, they might with some face, rat
around the county Offices and bust
ness houses for jobs that legiLimately
belong to the county organs or
presses; but doing neither, it is the
height Of impudence and efftoutery
to ask this patronage by the offering
ofJonuses.-Mdnsfela Shield and Ban

Gems from my "Memory String

Having grown tired of the house
this sultry June afternoon, l started
off on tour through the meadows to
get sniff of the sweet clover bios
SONS, and watch the bees fly off to
their hives laden with heavy freight
of honey.
Being weary and fatigued with so
long a march, / threw myself lazily
down on the ground under tho thick
overhanging boughs of scrub oak,
here to mediate on the wonderful
works of creation and mysterious
ways of providence, and just here at
my feet is something worthy the pen
of poet or painter, the working of a
little ant carrying its stores of food
to its home near the root of the tree,
while a great lazy fat looking toad
sits there in close proximity, with its
eyes half closed and idling away the
long summer day. The little ant
tolls On as industriously as though it
were obliged to earn the little morsel
of food it gets by its daily labor.
All! you precious little insect, what
useful lesson you teach us, and
what beautiful example you show
to frail humanity. IT'S true you
have your faults, and your presence
is dreaded when you make your Yis-
its about the pantry in hot weather.
You dip into our cream and sweet
meats rather extravagantly, and you
are styled ''little plaques by the
housekeeper, and she often tried to
drown the whole tribe of you, but
then if she could be here near this
little city of hillocks, and see you at
your work, she would freely forgive
you for all the raids you have made
about the kitchen and call you noble.
She would surely admire you as you
pass on your trail so Independently,
with that huge load almost twice as
large as yourself. Dear little mite,
you remind US Of little girl we once
knew, who used to pass our door in
the city, three times q day. She
worked in factory and was called
the ''little factory girl" She was a
little stinted mite of creation like
you, and worked from day to day to
support herself and invalid mother.
She would pass in the evening with
load of provisions as large as her
self, looking so weary after aer days
work, while her next door neighbor,
a stout able bodied young man, like
that toad yonder, lounged around
never working, but wore fine clothes
and "fared sumptously every day."
He would pass her, she in her coarse
working clothes and carrying her
bundle of groceries, and he in his
fine cloth and kids, would look
haughtily down on her, as though he
disdained her calling, and would not
take a step to the right or left, to
give her the dry side of the walk, and
she with shy glance at his face as
though she feared lest he would run
over her, would take the muddy out
side on the corners, and give him the
hest of the way. She is still toiling
In that factory for her daily subsis-
tance, and he is still living life OF
easy idleness. But when the final
reconng shall come, will not her re.
ward be greater, will she not enter
before him through the gates of the
celestial city2 and will she not wear
a brighter crown, and occupy a
higher seat in heaven than he2

R The New York Herald says ''if
the recently published address of the
Democratic Congressman is to be taken
as the first grand pronunciamientO of
the campaign, the initiative shot into
the enemy's camp, it may well be said
to have fallen stillborn, or, like the fuse
of damp powder, fizzled out before it
attracted attention. 1t would not fill
worthily place in the political column
of country Democratic newspaper,
and that seems to be the way in which
that class of journals are treating the

miliar with the name of Dan. Voor-
hees, of Indiana. He is known as
one of the big orators of the Demo
cratic cohorts in tho West, and his
friends, the other day, neminated
him for Congress. His peculiar fit
ness to lead that party, in his Con-
gressional district, at the approsch-
ing election, is msde manifest by the
Terra Haute Gazette. 1t says:
"When the telegraphic dispatch
announced the secession of the first
State, at thai very moment, in COM
pany with some three or four gentle

bar in not far off city, he raised his
glass and drank to the State of South

tinues to be of q warlike character,
though there is little that is new.
The London Times pronounces
against France, and says that, after
the denial of Prussia that she has
brought about the candidature of
Prince Leopold, it looks as if France
was seeking pretext for war. Ser
rano declares that from motives of
delicacy he never had anything to
do with nominating candidates, and
he did not vary his action in this

he will command in person.
