A pIRGE FOR H. G.--AFTER BOXER.
Close the polls, his work is done!
What to him is friend or foeman,
Rise of wheat, or fall Of corn,
Woodruff, Stone, or other woman:
Lay him low, let him blow,
Of his turnips white as snow!
What cares he! He does not know
How the ruta bagas grow.
Old sorehead yainly thought he might
Reach White House by his endeayor
Let him soon forget the fight,
And keep upon the farm forever.
Let him go, let him blow, Es
In his clover white rs snow.
What cares he.' He wants to know
How the German pretzel grow.
Fold him in the s'stars and bars"
Roll the drum and fire the yOlley!
What to him are all our wars,
What to him but a gigantic folly?
Let him 20, let him blow,
Midst his hats once white as snow!
What cares he? Except to know
How long handled broom corns grow!
Leave him to Jeff's friendly eye,
Trust him to the hands that have him,
Breckinridge weeps idly by; s-4
Baltimore could never save him.
Let him go, let Hmm mIblow,
At his farmhouse white as snowi
What cares he? He wants to know
Where the blind potatoes grow!

The Prince of Wales.

The Prince of Wales is again in the
hottest of hot water. Returning from
Italy and spending few day in Paris,
Wales found himself, it seems, wholly
unable to resist the facinations which
proved fatal to his reputation some years
ago, and millions of tongues are wag-
ging over his relapse. After railway
journey of seventeen hours from Geneva
to Paris, the uninteresting invalid, in
stead of going to bed, as he ought in
common decency to have done, went to
to see an indecent piece performed in
one of the most indecent theaters of
that wicked city. This would have
been bad by itself and the occasion Of
much scandal; but, the very next eve
ming he took his wife to witness still
more indecent performance in a still
more indecent place. And so on and so
on, while they remained in Paris. To
intensity the general horror and dis
gust excited by Wales conduet,the cor
respondents are careful to report that
the places of amusement thus assidu-
ously patronized by the Prince, are
places to which no French gentleman
even pretending to respectability, ever
goes and much less takes his wife. This
royal scandal may to some seem un-
worthy of mention or thought, espe-
cially at our distance from the scene.
Really as a part of the chronicle OF the
time it is about as important as anything
that has lately attracted the attention
of the world. Such behavior cannot be
insignificant or without consequences
in the heir apparent of the British
crown, whose recovery from danger
Gus sickness only few weeks ago was
the occasion of the thanksgiving serv-
ices which all remember. 1t is impos-
sible not to reflect that those demon
strations of vehement loyalty were
largely an expression of hopes founded
on the probable effects of the Princes
recent peril upon his character, and
that the stories of misconduct which
Americans read almost with indiffer-
ence convey bitter disappointment and
blight to all such illusions. Wales is
no longer a boy or even a very yonng
man, and by his lapse into the old evil
ways he has probobly revived all the
odium which his illness had efaeed,
and confirm his reputation as repro
bate for whose reformation it would be
folly to hope.

MY DEAR SIR: I am in receipt of your val
ued favor of the 18th, and note contents. a
Railway connecting the cities Of Columbus and
Toledo, seems demanded by the groat interests
in the two sections of the State represented by
those ciiies, besides the country along the route
would be enhanced in cash value more than the
entire cost of the 10 III. The route would Sc

NIT, is from ColnmDt TO delaware by the Z.
C&IR. r., thence to Forest and FindIav.
through Wood county to Toledo. Ifsuch rail
way should be built this Company will make an
equitable contract for the use ofits Railway be-
tween Delaware and Columbus either to haul
the through trains or for joint use, making such
contract virtually perpetual. By going through
on this route you would strike county towns,
which is important, perhaps, also, You could
pass through Wood county, while by going to
Forest you would open outlet from Cincin-
nati by our short Line, and the g. 8. and C. PR
to Toledo, quite as direct as ths Dayton and
Michigan and over which much trade woul1
naturally pass between Cincinnati and Toledo
thereby securing more certain return upor
the capital invested. In selecting 4 route how
ever much depends on local aid, " ithour whict
the road will never be built. and it may bt
found wise TO take the mere direct route throu'
| Upper Sandusky and Fostoria. There is a rail
way now building from Mansfield to Toledo
passing through TIfin which would mat'
competition by that route very sharp.
The Columbus and Hooking Valley people,
have no doubt would be much intel in
project of this kind. and it may be well for yol
! to confer with III, u. Greene, Vice President o
that Company.
Very Truly,
OSCAR townsend,
President.

The Wooster Republican. OF last week,
contains historical account of the COM
pletion of the Pittsburgh Fort Wayne
and Chicago Railroad and the arrival of
the first train at that place. We clip:
The arrival of the first passenger train
in Wooster. Tuesday afternoon, August
10th, 1852, was an event not soon TO be
forgotten. and in the future will be re
verted TO. as such, not merely for the
satisfaction n knowledge of the date
will afford. but as circumstance and
occasion by which other occurrences
and incidents may be identified. On
that day, Wooster was in paroxism of
hustle and excitement. a national sa-
lnte was fired at sunrise. Four z. NJ.
was the hour an Uonnced for the arrival
OF the train. At 2 P. NJ. the surging
multitude began to gather at the depot,
and by 8 CLOCK it was estimated that
from 1000 to 20OG0 persons were OIL
the grounds. At Z. NJ a dispatch was
received from Massillon, assuring us
that two trains were coming with GOO
passengers. 500 of whom were invited
guests from Pittsbu rgh and Allegheny.
At ten miDuets past p. NJ. the train
| arrived. The scene was magnificent,
the people shouted. cannons doomed
boisterously, whirlwinds of gladness
| swept over acres of clapping, upliited
hands, and on faces. young and aged,
"a grand Homeric iubilatiOu was radi-
ant" 1t was the Pentecost of gayety.
The fire companies never looked. or be-
| hayed better, the martial music was
| inspiring and heroic, and the guests
were happy and hilarious, both by
choice and compulsion. 1t seemed in
deed. to many like "Curiosity's Benefit
Day." j
Professions were formed under di-
rection of Colonel r. X. Porter and j.
III. kanke, Marshals of the Day. and
proceeded to n grove northeast of the
| depot where q table had been spread by
ii. Howard, Esq, of the American
House. The festal arrangement exhib-
tied the uniqueness and taste Of per-
fectlon. The guests being seated, J udg
Dean called for order when they were
welcomed by him. in an appropriate
speech. General Robinson, President
of the road delivered an address, when
the company sat to a sumptuous dinner.
The gusts being entertained and sup
piled, the cloth was removed, and 5 e.
Hemphill. Esq. read a series of toasts,
to which responses were made.

Get the Best and Cheapest

1t is said that the best is always the
cheapest, and any one buying Ready
Made Clothing at Widman, Pierson
House Block, Main street, will realize
the fact to its fullest extent. Clothing
is what every one needs. and what ev-
cry one must have. and no finer, assort--
ment or larger stock has ever been seen
in our city than that now presented by
Widman. Consequently his trade is
large and as he is determined to build
up reputation for square dealing, he
will sell no goods but what he can guar
antee. Give him a call. 1t is no troub-
lie for him to show goods.
