Loves Coiors.

Not Fiolets | gave my love,
hat IN their life are sweet and rare,
And deep in color, as the heart
Whose every thought of her is prayer;
For violets grow pale and dry,
And rose TIE semblanee of her eye.
No Iiiy's buds gave my love,
Though she is white and pure as they;
Fer they ere sold to smell and touch
Aud blossom but pgle day,
And, pressed by love, in loves old page,
They yellow into early age.
But cy ciamen I chose to give,
8 whose pale white blossoms at the tips
Gan else as driven snow are pink,
And mind me Of her perfect lips;
Still, Till this flower lie kept aud OLD,
Its worth to love is yet untold.
Old, kept and kisse i, it does not lose
AS other flowers the hues they wear.
Love is triumphant and this bloom
Will never whiten from despair;
Rather il deepsns as it lies,
This flower that puppies When it dies.
As ali my love, as years roll by,
Take kingly colors for its own.
Sole master of ner vsnquis he'd heart,
not ms ster of a tn ope2
Crushed by foot, nor cast away,
My purple lcve shall rule the day.

On Sunday morning last. about 2 o'clock,
DR.. c. ] Gelger was aroused from his
slumbers by a violent ringing of the door
bell. Fastening down he opened the door,
and found several young men oftown, one
of whom, McGarvy, a teamster, had a
horrid wound IN his head caused by some
one hitting him with a brick. He bled
fearfullY, and the DR.. Immediately pro-
ceeded to stop the blood, and dress the
wound. a vomiting scene soon eRsued, a
large quantity of liquor, apple and other
stutfs flowing from an overloaded stomach.
None of the young men seemed to care
about giving the particulars of the occur
renee, not even the wounded man himself.
After the wound was dressed, his compan-
ions took him-away, and we learn he Is
getting along slowly No arrests have
been made, andSnene probably will be
made. We adyise these young men to
quit this night rowdsing and drinking,
and return to regular habits and proper
ways. It seems, a young man named
SteeA administered the blow. He Git out"
on Sunday morning. Of course, liquor
was at the bottom of the business Z
We learn that between l andA2 O'Clock
Sunday morning last, a great noise awoke
the peaceful denizens of Cherry street, be-
tween 8th & 9th st. This was followed by
cries and groans, as of some n badly
hurt. Several persons looked out but
most did not care to venture; n man,
however, at boarding house, stepped out,
good Samaritan like, but soon discovered
he was mot welcome, being roughly hand
led, and was glad to escape safe and sound
into the house. Considerable blood was
discovered along the pavement next morn

Part Of the upper jaw and upper portion
of the head Of zone of the largest mastodoHs
yet discovered, attracted much attention
at the capitol yesterday. The bones were
unearthed near Chillieothe last summer,
and found their way to this city yesterday.
High water had loosened the roots of a
large sycamore tree that had stood on the
bank of q small stream in Ross county for
ages. The tree fell and exposed the won
der to view, and the farmer who owned
the premises subsequently dug for several
rods around, but found nothing but the
part alluded to above. This he sold to
Dr.. L. P. Harris and Rev. d ]. Foast, of
CrestEne, who intended to use it In illus
trations Of lectures. This project was not
very successful however, and the remains
are now here for sale to the State, the
valuation being about twelve hundred
dollars. 81
The portion of the animal preserved is
the upper Jaw and part of the head. The
frontal bone measures thirty inches across,
fourteen and q half inches being the
measurement OF this part of q very large
elephant. Four of the teeth are preserved.
The tusks were sunk two and one-half
feet in the sockets, and the sockets show
that the tusks were each twelve inches In
diameter at the widest point. The weight
is one hundred and fifty pounds. q
Comparison has been made with the
complete skeleton of a mastodon in a
Boston museum, and it is demonstrated
that the Ross county animal was forty feet
long, including the tusks, and twenty feet
high.-Ohio Statesmen. March 3lsG.

America rs. England.

English varnish has always been the
standard coach varnish used in this coun-
try; although high priced and competing
with varnish of American make which
claimed to be equally good. it remained a
standard import, on which the carriage
builders were dependent. At last Ameri-
can enterprise, represented by Valentine
& Co, of New York, has developed an
American varnish which is fully equal to
the imported IN every respect. and leading
carriage makers throughout this country
are largely adopting it. A success of this
kind, although in a minor branch of man
afacture, ought to be considered a national
one. and every carriage builder and every
carriage owner should aim to give the
home product the support that it merits
