chusets, have agreed TO pay their hands
hereafter by the hour instead of by the
day, leaving it at the option of the latter
whether they will work less than eight
or more than ten hours per diem.
The entire official vote of the Ohio
election has not yet been received. In
eighty-fve of the IS counties of the State
Noyes' majority rises 5000. The other
counties, Lawrence, Fulton and Noble,
will make it about the even 10000. The
Legislature will stand as reported last
week-the Senate a tie, and the House
thirteen Republican majority.
Wauseon, Fulton Co., o., Republican
says the people in that vicinity have
been working night and day to keep in
check the heavy fires which threaten to
sweep away farm houses, and every
thing combustible. In every direction
the fires have been raging, a number Of
buildings, and many rods of fence have
been burned, and nothing but unsleep-
ing vigilance and persistent labor have
saved much valuable property from de-
~structirn.
Can it be possible that there is a
farmer living near Carroll, who deducted
from his servant girls wages the expense
incurred by him in finding fuel, light,
grub, lodging, horse-feed. apples, cider,
cakes, and general accommodations for
herself and lover, during the latter's
many visits to his the farmers house,
while she was in his employ? 20 say
the papers. II such there be, Greeley
should lecture him on what he knows
about farming from q moral stand point
as affecting woman's rights.
A writer at Peshtigo mentions the case
of a little girl, twelve years old, who
saved her little sister from death, but
who was advised by many to desist from
tbs attempt lest she herself should per-
ish. She needed them not, however,
but by the most heroic efforts she sue
ceeded in rescuing her little sister from
the merciless flames. Her father, mother,
brothers and other sisters persisted by
the deyouring element. And after the
fire had absted somewhat, she worked
her way back over hot ashes and burn
ing Goals and dragged the dead bodies Of
her relatives out into an open space, and
then stood watching their charred re-
mains all day and through that long and
desolate night that followed. That is
child heroism the like of which was
never recorded.
Let the Republicans of Ohio under
stand that the exclusion of the votes of
the crippled veterans in the Dayton Sol
dier's Home resulted in making the
Ohio Senate a tie. The Democratic
inspectors in Jefferson township, Mont
gomery county. where the Home is
located, refused the soldiers votes.
They then made q poll, put in their
ballots and counted them up as a matter
of curiosity. Six hundred voted, and
had they been received, they would
have elected Sayler Republican, instead
of Kemp {DemOcrat). We trust that the
next time the Ohio Legislature has an
opportunity to do something toward
putting an end to this injustice toward
the veterans, it will deem the matter
worth its NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Lea

The Boston Herald, referring to the
h~and-shaking torture President Grant
was compelled to undergo at the close
of the ceremonies over the postofhee
corner stone says: As he moved away
and the tentacular crowd parted, the
President was observed, as he looked
over his left shoulder, to wear an ex-
preston compounded Of physical an
guish and rage. 1t appeared that some
one of the multitudinous h~and-shakers,
uniting brutality, had assaulted the
President by an unmerciful grip, born
of admiration or mslevolence. The hero
of the Wilderness, as he looked over his
shoulder and compressed his lips, ap-
peared very much as il he would like
to 'chaw up" that hand-shaker, whether
he were friend or foe. He did not bear
the assault with the dignifed stoicism
to be expected OF such a man. Probably
the bursting Of a shell under his horses
feet would have less interfered with his
euuanimity. As he moved away through
the cheering, staring crowds hemming
the street on both sides, his features
O resumed their calm if not attrac-
tive expression.
