The Cincinnati Enquirer opposes October
elections in the year that President is
voted for, 1t says:
Before the next presidential election il is
hoped that it will be SO arranged that all
th& States will have their Stats and local
elections on the Same day. The constitu-
ton OF Ohio, for instance, should be 30
changed as to provide that in the Years when
a President, Vice President and Congress-
men are to be elected, the State election
shall be held on the first Tuesday following
the first Monday in November. On the al
ternate years it could be held in October,
as it now is, and which is probably all
through considered generally the most CON
venient time But in presidential and con
gressiona1 years it. is an outrage to drag
6O0O00 electors out twice to the polls within
a month, when once would suffice to do all
the business. 90 An election costs our people
in loss OF time and necessary expense mil
lions OF. dollars. 1t is worth saving, and it
is one of the greatest reforms we may ex-
pect from the adoption of q new State CON
stitution. The Congress has already pro
yIded that at the next presidential election,
and ever after, all the Congressman in the
whole country shall be elected On the same
day.
Thus one of the most important Of the
Offices that we now elect win in any event
be taken from us at our October election
There is another reason why the State cleo
lions should all be held upon the same day,
and that is to prevent the undue influence
which those who, triumphing in the State
| elections, have now upon those which after
ward vote for President. The people are
all opposed to our duplicate elections IN
ONO, pennsylvania and Indiana.

A French nobleman, observing his tenant
about to destroy a fine, thrifty pear tree,
inquired the cause. He was told that if
was a chance Seeding, and had borne no
fruit in twenty years. He had already cut
its roots preparatory to the first stroke, but
was ordered to let it remain. He did so,
and in the following year it was loaded
with superb fruit of an entirely unknown
variety, which at once became celebrated.
The root pruning the gardener had given it
worked like charm. Not many years
afterward, when the Duchess d'Angouleme
was passing through Lyons, It's inhabitants
sent to her their Inequalities. Nine fair
maidens presented the Duchess with golden
salyers, on which lay heaped this precious
fruit, and begged her to bestow on it her
name; and the pear now recognized as the
GROWING glory of all fruits, was thence
forward known as the Duchess d'Angou-

A Wei Cultivated Ear.

One of the most remarkable illustrations
of the power which q Geographic operator
acquires to distinguish individuals by their
touch upon the instrument hasjus been af.
forded by Mr. Hampstead, one of the opeC-
ators in the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany's office in this city. About fortnight
ago, Mike w. Sherman, formerly an expert
and well known telegraph operator here,
escaped from the Middleton Insane Asy.
lum, where he has been confined, and
though thorough search was made for him,
he successfully eIuded the people who were
on his track until Monday night. While
Hampstead was at work in the Office here
that night he suddenly recognized among
the cIatter of a score of messages passing
over the wire sound which he at once de-
clared vas the touch of the missing Mike.
It proved to be a message from Walling-
ford, and an investigation showed that Mr.
Hampstead was quite right in ascriblng it
to the insane man, who was found there
yesterday, he having dropped into the office
in. the former place Monday night and
taken a hand at his old business.

TypbhoId Fever.

In regard TO the actual cost in money of
the negligence exhibited in the prevention
of Ephoid fever in Great Britain, the Lon
don Times makes the following curious cal
culation:
If We suppose, it says, that it's victims,
during ten years, were persons earning on
that six weeks was the average duration
that each patient was maintained by others
at the expense of pound week until
death or recovery, and that each life lost
was worth one hundred pounds to the COM
munity five hundred dollars), we arrive,
by asimple calculation, at the sum of thirty
four millions four hundred thousand pounds
sterling tone hundred and seventy-two mil
lion dollarsl, as the bare cost in money of
typhoid fever, for that brief period in Cur
history.

Their island Home Near HEuscarine-
What was Found There
From the Musoatiue tTowa) Journal
A thickly-wooded island, known as Long
island, about fourteen miles above this
city, in the Mississippi, has turned out to
be regular robbers nest, q sort of Isle of
Monte Christie, as far as secreting valu-
ables is concerned. The discovery was
made by the police of Davenport, who.
having had their suspicious aroused, Wis
tied the spot last Monday, but on reaching
it found that the birds had flown. MANI
evidences, however, of occupation of the
island were strewn around. Boxes of all
kinds and many sizes were thick on the
ground, with bits of paper and pieces of
Irvine and rope, here and there an old gar
ment, and many signs of carpenter work.
According to the report of farm
ers living near by, the island
had been abandoned by the villains onIv
the day before, when they had loaded b
large yaWl and skif with plumber, and
started southwark. None of the houses in
the vicinity of the island had been disturbed
by the thieves, and the farmers thought the
people on the island were party of sports.
men, for they were often seen fishing In the
river and starting out with guns on their
shoulders, as if going off on hunt. 1t is
supposed that most of the burglaries which
have been committed in Davenport Musca-
tine, Wilton, West Liberty and other locali-
ties in this section during the summer were
the work Of an organized band which in
habited the island, who used the secluded
spot fer secreting their ill-gotten goods.
But it is hoped that they are now gone to
return no more, aud that burglarized eom-
munities can hereafter rest undsturbed in
their slumbers,

American Farmers.

We hazard the assertion that no class OF
equal average means live SO well as Arneris
can farmers. One of these, possessing a
farm and buildings worth say $4,000, will
gather about him and enjoy more real com
fort than could be obtained from the in
come Of 100000 in New York. He may
m ef op onon RaTng o$H ooo5S annual snn
income. He may have his carriage and
horses; his table may be supplied with
everything fresh in its season; his labor is
less wearing than the toll of counting rooms
and offices, and he has more leisure.-Na-
tare and Science Scrib11er for October.

The World, writing of the inability of
ocean steamers to save their passengers by
the small boats in case of disaster, says
there is hardly steamer afoat that could
save halt those on board. Within few
days one came into harbor at New York
carrying 100 passengers. If any accident
had occurred, compelling them to take
refuge in the boats, not over 700 could by
any possible means have found places in
them, and the owners and officers allowed
her to go to sea, knowing that 1000 lives
would inevitably be lost, if no other steamer
was at hand to give aid, in case of an acct
dent. Even the crafts" which vessels usu-
ally claim to be supplied with, are often SO
cheaply and poorly constructed as to be of
no use whatever, as in case Of the Metis,
whose raft could not even be lowered. 1t
is surely time that laws, which could not be
avoided or misunderstood, should be passed,
in order that the fatal effects of ocean acct
dents might be Iessened.

The "King of the dogs" has recently died
IN Paris. He was an ironmonger, and was
known Familiarity as Tom" On one occa-
sion he was bitten by a mad dog, and the
after he took strange fancy to house stray
dogs. He devoted his time to them, and
trained them so that they all rose simulta-
neously-a queer sisht-on their hind legs
when he appeared, in courteous salutation.
Fer his pet dogs he had various names
One he called his Minister of Justice, an
other his Minister of War. He addressed
several petitions to M Theirs IN behalf of
the canine race, which remained unnoticed.
Then, insulted and indignant, he denounced
''in the name of his dog Mars" war against
him. Hostilities, however, never actually
began, and tom" went to his grave in

TIME LONG PAST.

Like the ghost of dear friend dead

A tone which is now forever lost,
A hope which Is now forever past,
a love Sc sweet it could not last,
Was time long past.
There were sweet dreams ia the night
OF time long past;
and, was it sadness or delight.
zach day shadow onward cast,
Which made us wish it yet might last
That time long past.

Beauty Is like remembrance cast,
