The Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Advertiser says: Prominent republicans
who have just returned from Ohio represent
the senatorial canvass in that State as more
interesting and uncertain than ever. The
republican majority on joint ballot has been
reduced by later returns to eleven, though it
is expected that this will be increased by I'M
seating the democratic senator from Hamil-
ton county, and substituting his republican
competitor. A large majority of the republl-
cans elected are conceded to be pledged to
Senator Sherman; but this attempt to force
the issue and secure in advance the legisla.
ture has intensified the opposition to Mr..
Sherman within his own party, so that either
strict discipline or shrewd diplomacy-per-
haps both-will be necessary to consolidate
the republican strength for the return of the
present Senator. General Schenck, Secre-
tary Delano and Mr.. Garfield, all have their
friends among the republicans, but the pres
ent indications point to an attempt by the
democrats to unite with enough disaffected
republicans upon Secretary Cox and elect
him over Sherman. The elements to effect
this combination are known to be at work,
with strong hopes of success, and the con-
sent of Secretary Cox will not be withheld
when it is needed. The scheme appears like
another development of the conservative re-
publicanism which SEINE of the western poll
ticians expect to fuse with democracy for the
next Presidential campaign.

terward Boosting that crow would have to
carry its provisions under its wings if it
should attempt to fly over it and thus brought
starvation on the cid men, women, and chill
dren of that region, so that thousands persisted
of famine. More property and more lives were
destroyed in these raids than all Chicago put
together, and what the sentiment OF the
North? One of exultation and rejoicing.
These acts Of vandalism were paraded as VIC
tories, and the heroes were met on their re-
tnrn with oyations of men and oblations OF
kisses from many of the gentle damsels OF the
North, carried away by the military glory that
was degrading, sickenng, disgusting! What

vandalism. t+t

half so horrible thrills their bosom with SYM
pathy, and their hand is quick and liberal to
the relief of sufferers. These things prove
that man is good deal lower than the angels,
and sometimes, at least, little higher than
the devils. Chicago has lost, perhaps, three
hundred million dollars by the fire. The
property DESTROYED in the South is estimated
at over one thousand millions. The fire in
Chicago was the result of an accident. The
destruction of property in the South was done
purposely by Northern soldiers and compares
exactly with the acts of the Goths and Van
dial, savages that overran and subjugated the
Roman Empire. But we are living under a
higher civilization. Chicago did her full
share in the destruction of the South. God

ere long would play regular for money
with any one of his age disposed to'ao'

hung his head, aud the parent added,
"Money is honestly acquired whers
there is an exchange Of products or
services, and the receiver gives an
equivalent for it; to take another mans
property and give him no equivalent
for it, is to rob or cheat him."
A few months after, the father canrs
home from the Produce Exchange with

The Column ofVendome.

The column of Vendome, which has
been destroyed by the vandal Conmu-
nists, was one of the greatest triumphs
of art in Europe and associated with
memories full of pride and glory for
France. The column was cast from
cannon taken by the great Napoleon In
the German campaign, and was a
monument to the triumphs Of French
arms upon such memorial fields as Jena,
FriendIand and Austerlitz. 1t was
fashioned after the column Of Trojan at
Rome, and Its splendid spiral friezes
were all epitome Of the more prominent
scenes in the eventful history Of the
first empire. For years it had been q
part of q shrine where hero worshipers
from all parts Of the world came to pay
homage to the genius Of the mighty
Captain whose statute crowned it; and
scarcely day passed but some pilgrim
added his wreath of inamortellcs to the
wealth of floral offerings strewn upon
its base. 1t was one of the loftiest OBJ
jects Of the city, seen out far upon the
1 =
plain in the approach to Paris, and asso'
ciated with many of the most striking
scenes OF modern European history al
we'll as with the most brilliant spectacles
Of the Partisan holiday. 1t was around
its base that the victorious eagles OF the
Crimea and the italian war moved In
their triumphal entry into their capitol
1t was so graceful and inspiring an OBJ
ject that it was spared in 1915 by allied
armies, whose leaders would not indulge
the vengeful Blucher in his desire to de-
stroy the Bridge of Jena. But the col
umn must so down before the fury o.
the Communists as a souvenir of mon
archical rule. The decree for ito de
suction was couched in this language

A Caution-Paris Green and Potato
Bugs.

A correspondent of the Geneva (Kane
county, Ill.) Republican says:
AS paris green will undoubtedly be
made use of to considerable extent for
the purpose of destroying these insects,
we wish to lay down few rules to be
observed:
1t is now universally known that this
is very poisonous substance, composed
of arsenic and copper, and being fine
powder 1t readily floats in the air and is
liable to he inhaled If not used with
caution. The first rule in using it,
therefore is to stand from the side from
which the wind is blowing. There are
various ways of apply ing it; either from
\ dredging box, of an oyster can punch.
ed at one end with small holes, of from
a gauzs bag tied to one end Of pole -four
or five feet in length.
The common error in using Is to make
it too strong. 1t should be diluted with
at least ten times the quantity of flour ol
ashes; and there are experiments on re
cord which go to show that it does moi
lose its efficacy by being reduced will
fifteen or twenty times the quantity o
the inert powder.
Flour is generally preferred to ashes
because If applied, as it always. should
be, when the vines are wet with dew oI
rain, it forms paste which prevents it,
blowing off.
Another important precaution is no
to use it on vines near where children
will be likely to resort.
The same podwer has been used sue
cessfully agains the cucumber bugs, ant
other leaf eating insects.
1t is safe precaution not to use it il
and case where 1t will como in contac
with the fruit. Its application to cur
rant and gooseberry bushes therefore, a
late in the season as the present, is no
recommended.
I am now experimenting with
poisonous water which runs off in tn
manufacture of Paris green, and hicl
is much cheaper and safer to handle
But have not yet had sufficient oppol
tunity to test its efficacy, to be able
report satisfactorily upon it.

and felt just ~ easy close to the roof Of
the large old barn, a. on the floor below,
and great was his joy when he had sue
ceeded in constructing rude steps from
which Rover could leap from the hay
NOW to the scaffold. But to-day the
child's foot slipped on the great beam,
and he fell to the floor. Mrs. Carlton
heard the cry, but before she could get
to the door, Rover was at her feet-poor
dumb creature trying frantically to tell
her what had come to Fred!
When she saw him lying there, bruis.
ed and senssless, the terrible memory Of
her last words to him smote her to the
earth. Had the Almighty heard her
peevish words, and laid him still forev-
er: A low moan from the child's white
lips brought her to her feet again. That
cry Of pain was music now, for it spoke
Of life. i
What was done during the next hour,
she never knew distinctly, but few
minutes after the accident, the noble
dog fell painting at his masters feet in
the village two miles away. A note
fastened to his collar, told Mr.. Carlton
the sad news. Mr.. Carlton and the ply
sician scarcely hoped to find the child
alive. But the brave boy smiled
through his ain, aud said,
Don't cry father, the doctor will cure
me-"
For long time his hold on life was

said the worst was over, he had to add
the pitiful truth, "But he can never
walk any more"
Poor Rover pined for his little play.

TO see him, seemed almost beside him.

Mrs. Carlton learned good lesson in
this school of atfiiction. She never
scolded any more; and 1t cut her to the
heart when the little fellow said one
day,
II know now why 1 used to be so
noisy, mother. God knew had only
six years to be noisy in, end so he
made me feel like running all the
time! !!
When the pleasant days of June came
round, they used often to draw the little
fellow out under the old elm. He would
sit there for hours, propped by pillows,
reading, playing or talking to Rover,
who never was happy without him. A
touching proof of this dogs love and
wisdom, was his habit Of biting OIL
weeds to bring to him, as Mrs. Carlton
brought him flowers. Freddie always
thanked him, aud never hurt the poor
dogs feelings by laugh.

Something About Teeth.

Why do some peoples teeth come out
more readily than others? The reasons
for this are probably many. About the
middle of the last century Peter Klam,
a Sweede, visited America and wrote
sensibly about what he saw. He ohserv.
ed a frequent loss Of teeth among settlers
from Europe, especially women. After
discussing and rejecting many modes OF
explanation, he attributed it to hot tea
and other hot beverages; and came to a
general conclusion that ''hot feeders lost
their teeth more readily than cold feed
ers." Mr.. Catlin, who some years ago
had an interesting exhibition Of Indian
secuery, dresses weapons, etc., noticed
that North American Indians have bet
ter teeth than the whites. He accounts
for the difference In this strange way
that the reds keep the mouth shit,
whereas the whites keep 1t open. The
teeth, he says, require moisture to keep
their surfaces in good working order;
when the mouth is open, the mucus
membrane has tendancy to dry up,
the teeth lose their needed supply OF
moisture, and thence come discloration,
toothache, tic douloureux, decay, lose
ness, and eventual loss of teeth. Mr..
Catlin scolds the human race generally
for being less sensible than the brutes in
this respect, and the white race specially
in comparison with the red. We keep
our mouths open far too much; the In.
dian warrior sleeps, hunts and smiles
with his mouth shut, and respires thro
the nostrils. Among the virtues aitrib.
uted by him to closed lips, one is excel
lsnt-whsn you are angry, keep your
