R The Ironton Register, in its no
tice of the Lawrence county Demo
cratic Convention, speaks. as follows OF
a transaction which, to say the least,
is not very creditable to the heart OF
the Democratic nominee for Con-
gress:-
ga Congressional delegation was ap-
pointed. Mr.. John Hamilton moved
that it be also authorized to act in any
Judicial Convention that mi ght meet at
Portsmouth. Messrs. Leele and Dean
voted for the motion, notwithstanding
they had united with the lawyers of
Ironton and Portsmouth, irrespective
of political considerations, in calling
upon Judge Johnson to stand as can
didate, independent of party. These
gentlemen probably felt it better to be
than to refuse to concede
to Hamilton, who would have his own
way or ''bust the machine" ;"

To THE PolNT.-The Cleveland
Leader says: "The criticisms of the
Democratic papers on the heavy
taxes required to pay off the war
debt, are as unreasonable as would
be the criticisms of the highway
man on the expense incurred in
furnishing him. If the Democratic
traitors who were in power in the
spring of 81 had done their duty,
there would have been no war, no
taxation"

the Democratic Congressional Con-
vention, at Portsmouth, closes by
saying that "Mr. Leete, being noti-
fed of the result, appeared in the
Convention, and made q few re-
marks, DENOUNCING," DC. 1t is
said that the world is divided into
two classes-those who go forward
and do something, and those who
stand back and complain that the
work was not done in a different
manner; although, while denoaneing
the manner, still they suggest no
new or better way. The former
class make the world move, while
the latter are simply hindrances to
its onward progress. We are sure
the people of this Congressional Dis
trict prefer a positive, go-ahead
member, to one of the negative kind.

A ,uork descriptive ofMe Mysteries and Niserfes

the City ot Fors.-By James u. McCabe, Jr. Nat
tondL Publishing Co. Chicago
The unusual facilities possessed by first-class
Subscription Book Publishers have enabled them to
furnish the public with many works ofgreat interest
and values but the most powerful and attractive work
of this k ind is the book before us. 1t simply
the City of Paris photographed by the authors pen
ano the artists pencil. 1t is magnifcently repro
duced and is issued in the very best style. 1t not
only abounds in solid and useful information, but
faithfully reproduces the NEST startling sensations
of the gayest City in the world 1t tells us how the
beauty and splendor of the bright City
have been purchased at a frightful cost of misery
aud suffering; how virtue and vice go arm-ir-arm,
aud how the latter is undermining all the sweet
ccurtesies of social life; and how most fearful
crimes are commit ed and concealed 1t tells us of
high and low life of palaces and novels; of the
Emperor's family and the workmans household
We mngle freely in the most magnificent and dis
spated pleasures. and drop Involuntary tear into
the "Comnon bitches" where the poor sewing girl,
is laid to rest. All that has made Paris the most
beautiful and attractive well as the gayest and
wcke City in the world, unite to make this book
the most interesting we have seen for many day.
The author. writing of what he has seen and ex.
perience, has evidently sought to make his volume
not only the most powerful and fascinating sensa-
tional work of the DAY. but also book which shall
hold place in every mans library as an authority
upon the subject whereof it treats. The book is
magn ifcently illustrated with $50 fine engravings,
by the leading artists of France :-Dore, Therond.
and others whose names amply attest the character
of the work. 1t is comprised in one large volume
of over $50 pages, and sold only by subscription

s0~ Captain Eyre, of the steamship
Bombay, which ran into and sunk the
American Corvette Oneida, has had bis
trial before Counsel Court at Yokohoma.
The court consisted of three British
officers. 1t decided that one vessel was
nearly as much to blame as the other in
the collision, but Captain Eyre was greatly
to blame, in that he steamed ahead, and
never stopped to help the injured vessel
when he had every reason to believe that
his own vessel was uninjured, but that the
American was badly damaged, and when
he did think so, as evidenced by remarks
made to those present at the time of the
collision. The decision of the court con-
firms the impression that Captain Eyre
was guilty of wilful inhumanity, and that
if he had acted as he ought to have done,
very few, if any of the officers and crew of
the Oneida would have been lost. They
therefore sentenced him for the suspension
of his certificate for six months. 1t should
have been suspension of his body for
six months.

sg- The Portage Reg ister in speaking OF
the extremely high water in the Wiscon-
sin, and the danger Of its breaking through
into the Fox, says:
In connection with this subject, we wish
to mention curious circumstance which
fell under our observation last Saturday.
We were down to Duck Greek, some three
miles south of the city, and saw the cur
rent of that creek running up stream more
raj idly than it usually runs down stream.
The Wisconsin had risen to such pitch
that the water had set back in the creek,
and overlooking its banks was actually
running the other way into the Fox. This
always occur in case of very high waters,
we are informed. Thus the water of the
Wisconsin, divides when there is sur
plus, portion going to sea ria Green Bay
and the Great Lakes, and the rest going to
the Gulf of Mexico ola the Mississippi.
This demonstrates what we have always
contended, there is at least disposition
on the part of the Wisconsin to seek the
channel of the Fox as an outlet. If it
could once get a channel across the Port
age, where there is fall of eight feet from
one river to the other, it would certainly
adopt that course for its channel, for there
is fall of only two feet in the same dis
lance In the bed of the Wisconsin.

A SMART BoY.--Once upon time,- Or
we remember right, that is the way to
commence or story there lived in the
VIII known, and---in this part of the state
= far famed, locality-yes that's the word
of Barreltown, which may be located
little more definite by saying near the city
Of Mineral Point, lad by the name Of
John Argyle; he was only ten years old,
but was a lad of considerable energy and
perseverance, qualities which are often
lacking in the lads now a-days. 1t appears
from tradition that this lads father had
a small track Of land, on which he was in
the habit of growing every season, vege-
tables for the use of the family, and among
others, he often grew small tuber which
is said to be a native of Peru, South
America, and is commonly known by the
name of potato. Now it will be remem-
bered, by those who are old enough. that
this western country was, at one time in
tested with an odd little nondescript,
which naturalists dub Doryphora Lineata
but which was generally known as the
Colorado Potato Bug. This little bug in
tested the country to such an extent, and
was so ravenous, that potatoes aoent up,
and Johnnys father being afraid that his
patch was gone up, offered his boy five
cents hundred for every bug he would
pick from that patch in one day Johnny,
it appeared, was well satisfied with this
arrangement, and having full faith that
the contract with his father was all right,
he vert to work in good earnest, and be
fore the chickens had taken up their
quarters for the night had taken prisoner
an army of seven thousand two-hundred
and twenty (7,220) bugs, and earned the
snug little sum Of 1851, which for boy
of his age was not bad. But this was not
all he accomplished, for the 1920 bugs,
appeared to be the entire force, and as a
result of their determination the potato
crop grew, and fourished, and gave good
yield; and strange to say, bugs on the
neighboring patches disappeared about
this time, (probably frightened away by
the discriminating war which had been
wagsd on them) and the yield in the
whole neighborhood was good, thing
which had not been known for years.
We are sorry to have to close this story
by informing our young friends that
Johnny's father violated his contract, and
refused to stand to his bargain, and all the
pay that Johnny ever had was in the
satisfaction that he had done good days
work, and in Kidding his fathers patch oil
the pest he had likewise ridde6 the whole
neighborhood of it.
