| TIE Rev. James A. DAILY, of Painesvile
delivered the address 10 the graduating class
of that place Commencing by congn tuIating
the young ladies on reaching this stage of their
progress, the speaker continued:
The years allotted TO drill and disci-
pine i'll the Seminary are ended to-day.
Having learned something Of the world
you live in, and your place in it, You are
now to be more directly participators in
its affairs. We rejoice with you in this
advance to graduation. You have been
faithful in study. You have been kind
and considcrate to your teachers. Your
appreciation has cheered them in their
always laboriOus and often unappreciated
tasks. Those who remain here will
cherish pleasant recollections of Your
past conduct, and hopeful expectations
concerning your future success, for we
trust you ale animated by the Christians
holy hope and intrepid faith.
Come forward, then, 10 the larger
trusts of mature lite. We welcome you
to fields of toll, where the laborer's hand
is needed in much careful tilage before
the Ieapei's song is heard. You have
come into a spacious and neccssit Gus
world. There is room for you. There
is need of you. 1t beckons you for
ward to large tasks, to honorable places,
to bouutiful opportunities.
You come TO your places of trust,
Christian women, in fit time. If grave
peril impends, great promise also alIures.
Human affairs having such momentum
will be docile to the right leadership.
Euthsiasm need not be drained in wait
ing. The most critical changes now
occur with the celerity of the lightning
leap. Maps are old in too or three
years. Opinions, tastes, policies are
changed as quickk as the fallen blossoms
of spring are replaced by the rich sum-
mer fruit. Mems minds are agile in ques-
tionings and alert for advantages. With
much incertitude and painful restless
ness, there is also sincere inquiry for the
"better way" If the times are some

soil is limestone and very fertile. North

both sections now coming into notice
from the number Of railroads being built

where some diseases are less prevalent or

The CAPITAL Of Ireland.

y corr espondent of the Boston Daily
Gtode IN the course Of letter to that pa
per from Dublin, gives the following ac-
count of the city:
Can You imagine a city of 16o, 900
inhabitants that has comparatively no
noise, no teams in the streets, no smoke.
no hurry, no manufactures. Yet such is
Dublin, Sackville street, at midsday, one
OF the grandest thorougtares in Europe,
looks like Broadway, New York, at
about two o'clock in the morning.-that
is, the street way looks like it-ior that
is the only time to get Broadway clear
of coaches and teams. But the side
walks of Sackville street are very lively
and very fashionable They are not like
the .iostling sidewalks of New York or
Boston,; III sidewalks of Sackville ST., are
nearly as wide as Washington St, Boston,
and the promenading ladies or "swells y
from castle or garrison are never obliged
to elbow their way in the approved
fashion of an American city, The i'm
mense width OF the street is silent and
empty, except only for an occasional
looking for worm. just think of Il
worm in Broadway. Ugh! the thought
is unbearable; but in Sackvile street
In the very centre Of it-I am sure that
some silly sparrow, not knowing things
by their aspects, often gulps down an
old gray-headed worm i'll mistake for his
youngest son. "Gray-headed worm" is
style OF metaphor peculiarly suited to
description OF an Irish street, for there's
something of a - bull in it and some
thing suggestive Of dreary aud hope
less wilderness.
There are at all times plenty of cars
in Sackville street-but they are not
moving they are standing still in long
line, close together, out in the center of
the street. The raw-boned horses are
generally mauncLing whisps of hay,'
which lie oil the ground before them;
and the good humored driver is lolline
halt-aslotp on the cushioned seat, calmly
waiting tor fare, hIs whip across his
breast and ali his ready repartee couch
ant aud ready for a spriug. Nelson's
Pillar, fine monument, stands in the
center of Sackviie street, and in the line
with it, is the car stand Perhaps some
OF your readers are under the impression
that am writing all this about vehicles
OF the family OF the American street-car.

A Valuable Article

Mr.. Dobbins, the old reliable dealer
in drugs, paints, oils, Sc, has presented
us with a beautiful card of specimen
mixed chemical paint, manufactured by
the Averill Chemical Paint Company
of Chicago. This ARTICLES destined to
work . revolution in the paint
world. Every shade of color isprepar-
ed ready for application, requiring no
mixing. If one wishes to paint his
house, all he has to do is to go to Mr..
Dobbins', select the shade he wants,
buy as many gallons as he needs, and
Gather apply it himself or get a painter
to do it for him. While it costs no
more than the best lead and oil, it is far
more durable. Mr.. Waterman's grain
elevator was painted with this three
years ago, and stands the test Of time
better than oil paint would, as one hum
dred thousand owners of residences in
the country, who have thoroughly test
ed it, will likewise testify. For SAM
Piles of paint and prices, call Oh II. II.

A Serious Row.

On Thursday evening of last week,
a party of four two named Metcalf,
and two named Veales-who had been
in attendance upon Court here, were
on their way home. The mixture of
Savannah s%trychninc with Rochester
benkine in their stomachs, had the effect
of making them i'll -natured and quar-
.relsome. Outside of Rochester they
overlook Mr.. George Lewis, a respect
cd citizen of Rochester Township. who
was also OF his way home, and revived
an old quarrel with him. Our inform
ant states that Colonel Metcalf drew a
revolver and pointed it at Mr.. Lewis,
swearing he would shoot him. Mr..
Lewis attempted TO knock the pistol
away, when it went off, inflicting a Sc
rious wound in Lewis arm. The ball
grazcd his check, and passed through
the arm just below the shoulder, graz
ing the bone. Pursuit was iEmedi-
atcly made by the officers ofthe law, but
up to this time they have not been
found.

On Sunday night last, April Z, Rob-
ert Hcren, aged c~ighty-iiye years, de-
parted this life, at the residence Of his
son, Judge William Herein, neal this
city. Mr.. Hercu migrated from High
land county, OHIO. about 1912 or 1S43,
and settled in this county. some six
miles north Of Savannah. Mr.. Ilcren
was a farmer, vas noted for his integri-
ty and honesty, was Of quiet, peacea-
bic disposition and an excellent citizen.
The cause of his death was extreme old

Mrs. Ralph I. Wilson, who was form
erly known to many OF our citizens.
The wife ofRobert Hcren preceded him

which time the old gentleman has lived
with his children until within = few
years, when he made his home perma-

Singular Occurrence.

On Sunday evening last, during the
evere thunder storm which visited
this vicinity, as the family OF Mr.. L.
Miller were engaged in worship with q
visiting minister, a loud clap of thun-
der was heard, in the midst Of the mill
listers prayer, the lightning which occa-
stoned it shivcring to atoms atree
but a few hundred yards distant.
Strange to relate, not the slightest SEN
sation off shock was experienced by the
worshiping family; but a comb, which
had been lying on the mantle, in the same
room with them, was thrown violently
to the floor.

Who Shall be Judge9

z Although our readers have In all
probability become familiar with tho
fact that there has been q new Judicial
Circuit formed In this part of missouri,
vet . short repetition Of the facts may
not be amiss. The 10Th Judicial Cir
cult, which has been created by the
present Legislature, comprises the
counties of Nodaway, Atchison, Holt
and Andrew. An election has been or
dered for the 10th of April, to place in
the respective positions q Circuit Judge
and Circuit Attorney. Both political
parties will have their candidates In the
field.
We to-day present the claims of q
man widely known as q successful law
yer and IN able jurist, as well as author
of several legal text books, used far and
near. We refer to HENRY s. KELLEY,
of Savannah, who received the nomina-
ton of the Republican Convention, at
Oregon on Thursday last. While it is
well known that our first choice was Is.
X. Davis of this place, we cheerfully nc
quissce in the decision Of the Conven-
ton, recognizing the ability of the can
didate and the Importance Of his cleo
ton. The candidate for Circuit Attor-
ney, TIC. DUNCAN, Of Holt county is a
man Of great merit, and we feel satisfied
will make a good Circuit Attorney.
1t is not as Republicans alone that we
would urge the claims of the above can
didates upon our voters, but as men of
ability and moral standing. In these
points as we'll as that of legal attain
ments no honest mar can say but what

A SMALL boy named Frederick Fall
coner, who has been working for about a
month for james Vandeventer, of Roches-
ter township, concluded to collect his
wages from Mr.. v. by taking away his
horse, one day last week, but was over
hauled and brought before the Grand
Jury, who found a bill against him for
grand larceny. Frederick came into Court
and plead guilty, whereupon the Court,
after hearing remarks and statements from
j. W. Strong, W. S. Greenlee ard G. L.
Bryan, in behalf of the youngster, and on
account of his age, sentenced him to 90
days in the county Jail. 1t seems to us
that it is a great wrong to put such young
chaps in the common Jail, where they in
many cases receive impressions and in
strustions that make many of them con-
irmed criminals and outlaws There
should be a reform farm or school for such
chaps, which would much better serve the
ends of justice.

A Coop JoKE.A capital joke, and
and can be vOuched for, took place a few
Sundays since, at one Of the prominent
Fourth street churches. 1t seams that a
worthy deacon has been very Industrious
in selling a new church book costingseven
ty-fve cents. At the services in question,
the minister. just before dismising the con-
~gregation. arose and said: "AlG you who
have children to baptize will please present
them next SABBATH" The deacon. isl little
deaf and having an eye to selling the books,
and supposing his pastor was referring to
them: Immediately jumped up and shouted:
And all who haven't any can get as many rs
you want by calling on Inc, at seventy five
cents each" The preacher looked cross
eyed at the deacon the audience punched
each other in the side; the bubble grew
larger until it burst out in q loud outlaw,
ladies colored up. blushed, and thanked
the Lord for the low price of peopling the
earth. There was no benediction thai

The Andrew Circuit.

The Republicans Of the 29th Judicial
Circuit, composed of Andrew, Nodaway,
Holt and Atchison, met at Oregon, Holt
county, on the 18th of March, in conven-
ton and nominated Henry s. Kelley, of
Savannah, by acclamation, for Judge, and
7. c. DUNCAN, of Holt county, for Circuit
Attorney.
Judge Kelley is one of the best lawyers
of Missouri, having served six years in
Indiana as Circuit Judge, and is also au-
thor of those most invaluable of Books,
"Kelley's New Treatise for Justices and
Constables," and Probate Guide" We
hope to hear of his election, and doubtless
he will be, as all Of the counties Of his cir
