Notes about the Women.

The character of community
depends much on the young women.
If the latter are cultivated, intelli-
gent, accomplished, tho young men
will feel the requirement that they
themselves should DO upright, and
gentlemanly, and refined but if their
female friends are frivolous and silly,
the young men will be found to be
dissipated and worthless. But re-
member always, that sister is the
best guardian of a brothers integrity.
She is the surest incubator of faith
in female, purity. As q daughter
she is the true light of home. The
pride of the father oftener is conferred
in his sons, but affection is expended
on his daughter. She should there
fore be the sun and center of all
Fashion has decreed that small
waists are no longer stylish, A
reasonable slope is ofcourse desirable,
but wasp-waist is to be found no.
where but in remote country districts
To see woman with pinched waist
Immediately proclaims her ignorance
of what is what.
Boston girls, as rule, are the
most intellectual, New York girls
the most stylish, Brooklyn girls the
most firtatious, Philadelphia girls
the most ladylike, Baltimore girls
the prettiest, and Chicago girls the
most extravagant.
-"Cardial Manning says women
spend as much money in their efforts
to gracefully expose their nakedness
as would clothe all the poor" A
fearful commentary on the fashions
OF the day.
Sixteen of the twenty-seven wp-
men of Redfield, Ohio, who utterly
annihllated the grog shops of that
place four years ago, celebrated the
anniversary few days ago by a
grand reunion, banquet and tea party.

She will be home in September, and
in October her lecturing tour begins

WHEAT CROP IN ENGI AND

According to late English papers,
the wheat crop there will not equal
an average yield. 1t was in the first
place considerably hurt by the frosts
of the late Spring, and the heavy
rains Of the early part of this month
damaged it very materially. The
grass crop, which was very heavy,
was also injured by the heavy rains,
but the injury to this will be more
than compensated for by the bene-
fit to the root crops, which are
of nearly or quite as much impor-
tance to the English farmer as his
grass. The benefit to the second
growth Of grass will also be consid-
erable. r.f

SPEECH OF COL. MccQoK.

Col. McCook, the Democratic can
didate for governor of Ohio, opened
the campaign at Cleveland yester,
day, and We print in this paper his
speech in full. 1t was prepared in
advance, as most speeches are in
these days, and we print it precise
ly as it was written. Otherwise,
political opponents might accuse us
of publishing an imperfect report.
This explanation, under the circum-
stances, is due to all concerned.
The circumstances to which we re-
fer are these: There is nothing
special in the speech. 1t is proba-
bly, the best the gentleman was able
to prepare. This is to be regretted.
1t is indeed misfortune to the can
didate and the party he represents,
and both have our sympathies.
This is all that need be said of
the opening speech of the campaign
on the Democratic side. There is
nothing in it Of the old Democracy,
and nothing Of the new Departure

DEMOCRATIC SOuIRS.

You know how tits yourself"
Estill, about fraudulent tickets and
ballot box stuffing. If we need any
well call at headquarters, Jim. Es-
till, sole proprietor.-Shrere Mirror
The publisher of the Mirror sent
no paper to the Farmer office
last week. We have not seen the
paper, but we are informed that it
contains an article of strictly per
.sonal character on us. No gentle
man will make political feasts of the
private character of those who are
neither oflicer-holders nor candi-
dates for office, and when made, any
kind of retort is justifiable. We
have heretofore had the particulars
of the $500 Transaction referred to
by "Clinton," as well as some other
matters; but We decline to give par
ticulars or make exposures until We
have seen the Mirror, and ascertained
whether it contains sufficient provo
catlon.-FdTmer.
The above are the comments of the
Farmer following short communi,
cation in that paper signed Clinton.
No doubt we will get something rich
this week. We shall keep our read
ers posted. Personalities sometimes
creep into papers very mysteriously.
The Holmes County Farmer asks
us n conundrum; the substance OF
which is that it is anxious to know
how many extra papers We purpose
sending over the district during the
canvass. Really, Jim. we don't
know, but should Judge about as
many copies as your '-honor'' issued
fraudulent naturalization papers.

outside your ''great family paper"

WHAT THE IRISH WORLD SAYS.

Record and the New York Tablet
Two Of them are dressed in mourn
ing for their subscribers and coun
trymen "who were murdered BY
Gov. Hoffman on the 18th inst
Among the headings of their lead.
ing editorials are-'sHoffman's Mas.
sacre, "Gov. Hoffman's Bloody
Procession" 'Is John T.. Hoffman.
Gov. of the State of New York, a
Murderer" DC, Although their
voices are pitched on different keys,
they all sing the same tune, and the
combined chorus forms most ter
rife wall of angry accusation against
Gov. Hoffman.
90 The Irish People says o.f
,-"The blood curdles at the thought
of such atrocity, and if such a
thing as justice is to be found in
this land of boasted liberty, that
justice must now be sought for to
impeach John L. Hoffman, and try
him for willful murder of those
whose deaths were caused by the
action at New York, on "Wednesday,
the 18th of July, 1871. s
We call upon the friends of the
murdered citizens, by every duty
which they owe society and them
selyes,to raise this issue at.the prop
er tribunals of the country, and to
cite Gov. Hoffman before a jury
of his peers TO answer a charge of
murder" ,,-r- '-,..- d.
The Irish Citizen, sa A.e.i-.t
''1t is a matter of regret that Mr.
Hoffman has thus gone over to the
Orangemen, because this bloody
political blunder wipes him out as a
political man. If his party now put
him in nomination, he could never
get one Irish Catholic vote not one.
But Governor Hoffman is answer
able for the whole of it and, we say
blood shed that day. li
We charge that he has violated
law and broken a special statue in
this very instance. Out upon the
wretch! Let his name stink forever

good. i +9.a' ti

be that Mayor Hall did not arrest

"NEW DEPARTURE IN INDIANA.

CONSISTENT.

The GAINESVILLE Courier says, the
prospectus of the Ohio Statesman
has been franked over the state by
Mckinney the Democratic congress
man. This is infamous, and is a
clear violation of the meaning and
purpose of the law. Yet these
Democratic congressman will howl
themselves hoarse over the corrup-
tion and AeXtravagance of General
Grants administrations They are
the most huge offenders in the ma
ton. .dt 5Hi -1s4E
1t may be well to state here that
the Republican State Central Com
mittee very properly pays regular
postage on all letters and docu
ments, and has done so regularly
since the campaigns of 1869. 1t
is very nice however for the Demo
Gratis who have such a horror of
corruption and ectraUdgance to
get some Of their Congressman to
visit Columbus and frank their let
ters and documents. and they visit

for more speakers and speeches OF

RIOTS.

Col. McCook, the day after the
blooky riot, expressed his opinion
in a public place, in this city, IN the
following language: 81 think those
Orangemen of New York had no
right to parade in the streets of
that city; that they should no more
expect to parade in a peaceful man
ner, than would procession march

INDIAN DEPRECIATION,

ST. LOUIS, July 27.-The st.
Joseph Mo. Gazette ofa late date
learns from William MacAIoore the
particulars of the capturing of the
train belonging to j. c. d. Black
burn, government contractor, by the
Indians, about thirty miles from
Fort Sill, June %, a brief account
of which had been previously re-
ported. The train consisted of
fourteen wagons, with fourteen men
attached to them. On the day men
toned, while crossing small stream,
about two hundred and fifty Chey-
enne Indians darted out of the
woods on both sides of the stream,
shot and killed seven of the party
on the spot, wounded another who
was tomahawked and scalped, and
took the remainder prisoners. They
were securely bound and taken away
by the Indians. Next day one of
the party attempted to escape and
was killed. On the following day two
of the teamsters-Jack Jones and
Tomas Hayward-werc burned at
the stake by slow torture, their
tongues being first cut out to prevent
their screaming, and their ears were
cut off. The entire band of Indians
formed a circle around the victims,
and indulged In various modes Of
tormenting them and MaclIoore,
Brown and Jackson, the remaining
prisoners, were brought forward
and compelled to witness the spec
tacle. Jones died quickly, but Hay
ward fingered half an hour in great
agony. On the night of the 9th of
July, after a heavy storm and free
indulgence in whisky by the Indians,
MacMoore, Brown and jackson
loosened their thongs and escaped.
After travelling two miles they sep
arated for safety, and each star

place they all reached safely, but

party of Cheyenne was composed of

themselves spoke English. Among
them was man named Stanly, from

killed thirteen men, and intended |
to kill five times as many more.
The whites dressed as the Indians,
was fully as barbarous, and seemed

GEN. SHERMAN.

OF late the Democrats have turned
their attention to Gen. Sherman rs
an available candidate for theil
party for the Presidency, but they
failed to receive the desired encour-
agement from that source.
That question has, no doubt, been
settled recently, for he has emphat-
ically praised the Ku Klux bill as a
good thing; eulogized the course OF
Grant and his administration de
clared in favor of Grants re. cleo
tion, and even enthusiastically of
fered to be two to one against the

departure is hardly able to take
so great departure as that.
