Remember the Words.

Soldiers, remember the words of
Horace Greeley at Pittsburg, aimed to
curry favor with the South at the ex
pense of insulting not only the $4,000
gathered at Pittsburg, but not the less,
the hundreds of thousand throughout
the country who still revere the boys
who wore the blue. Read again the
poor, fawning, whipped dog expires
sion at Pittsburg:
''The city of Pittsburg has just wit
messed rehearsal of the pomp and
pageantry, the blazonry and circum-
stance of civil war. A very large
number of men were collected at vast
expense, with the single purpose of re-
kindling the bitterness and hatred, the
animosity and antipathies, the fears
and exultatiOns Of civil war for the ad
vancement of political party. take
you to witness that the greater portion
of the journals of Pittsburg, as we'll a,
the orators on this occasion, have
been trying their best to make us, tn,
people, hate each other for the sake O.
paEtizan advantages. A strange
would imagine, who was reading ths
journals of Pittsburg for the last few
days that we were still at war, anC
that their purpose was to revive ant
exasperate the hatred and animosit,
of civil war. In order to intensity ant
invigorate their side of the conflict
they talk about rebels and traitors. =
citizens are we never to b
done with this ?''

The First Carpet.

self. It occurred some sixty or seveu-
ty years ago. He had deem raised IA
the backWoOds and knew bat little Of
the ways OF the world. Having been
admitted into Conference, he was sent
to circuit, and upon a certain oeca-
sion, was invited to dine with
wealthy man.
Carpets were not nearly so common
then as they are nov. Most people
had their floors secured very clean,
and nice, white sand sprinkled over
them. Sometimes an extra touch Was
given TO the floor by sprink-
ling black sand about in streaks and
figures over the white.
The wealthy man, with whom the
young preaclec was to dine, however,
had a carpet, but it was not large
enough to cover the floor, SO there
was a naked place all around the room
about the width Of chair.
1t was the FIRST carpet the preacher
had ever seen, and he thought il
would not do to step on it. so he took
the seat near the wall and drew his
feet around on each side Of h.s chair
so as not to touch it.
After while a servant came in, and
spreading down apiece OF linen in
the middle Of the room, placed the
table on it and began to set it
The preacher Was greatly troubled

how was he to manage with the chair

But then the thing must be done
some way; so when dinner Was an

Execution of John Barclay.

John Barclay, murderer OF Charles
Garner, was hung, in this city, Friday
morning, October 4th. We suppose
no one within a radius of twenty, yea
fifty miles of Columbus, did not know
and were not talking of his execution,
from the time he left his cell until
long after his death. Here, political
strife was forgotten, for the time
heing-usurped by tie all important
theme-the hanging Of human being
by the neck until dead. We don't
exactly understand it, but the public
execution of condemned criminal is
considered by very many q sight we'll
worth going long journey to sees
and although generally understood
that this execution was to be private
one, a large crowd collected quite
early in the day, using every persHa-
sion except threats, to gain admittance.
But the number of spectators we're
limited to sixty, and no moro were
allowed entrance.
The gallOWs were erected at the far
ther end of the prisoners apartment,
standing some 16 feet in height, and
having s feet dead fall. Chairs were
arranged on a balcony which cncircles
the prison walls, to accommodate the
reporters and members of the press, of
which goodly number were in attend
anee-
At twNaty five minutes to twelve,
Sheriff Thompson made his appearance,
and after reading the Indictment, the
prisoner was led from his cell to the
noHolI II
perfect cOmpOsure, and stood upon
the platform, looking the man, who,
knowing his fate, was prepared to
meet it calmly, and without . tremor
A portion of scripture was read by
R. R. McNulty, and prayer offered
by Rev. D. H. Moore; after which,
Sheriff Thompson asked Barclay if he
had any remarks to make. In answer,
the criminal stepped to the front, and
said:
"GENrLEGEN IL am guilty of hor-
rible crime. and you are here to wit
ness the execution, which is forced
upon me-and now commend you to
your Heavenly Father, and trust aud
hope that you will fulfill His law. My
love to you all. Beware of rum. God
bless you. Good bye. --. -.--.
He then shook hands with those
around him, and again stepped upon
the trap door. Deputy Sarber al
once pinioned his limbs, the rope was
put about his neck, and the black car
drawn over his eyes. Sheriff Thomp-
son now placed his hand upon the
lever and sprang the trap; and at pre-
cisely IL minutes before II, Barclay
was swinging ia the air. The knot OF
the rope had been so placed that the
fall would at once break his neck-cer
tainly a m0st merciless provision bu
from some cause the moose slipped
and the wretch was forced to die tht
horrible death of strangulation.
Drs. Denig, Halderman and Maris
were in attendance, and not until 1:
minutes after his fall was life pro
nounced extinct.
And thus has Barclay received the
fearful penalty of his fearful crime

straight and what is crooked,
what it right and what is wrong. A
