The power of Lightning.

The concentration of power
in a stroke of lightning acting
through an inconceivable small
interval of time, may perhaps
be realized after examining its
work of destruction, yet Its in
ductive-action on the earth's S
surface is no less wonderful.
Prof. A. M. Mayer made an
experiment some time since,
which demonstrated the extent
of this action. He connected
the wire Of a galvanometer with
the water pipes Of Baltimore,
Nd, and joined the other end
Of the coil to a gas-pipe of a
house in the southwestern
part Of the city. Thus a vast
metallic system Of electr i c
nerves stretched three miles
toward the northwest, to the
reservoir, and about as many
miles to the east and south
east over the city. A thunder
storm was raging at the time
in the north, at so great a dis
tance that only the illumina-
tions Of the clouds told when a
flash occurred. Yet whenever
that flash took place, the nee,
die of the galvanolneter was
instantly reflected through ten
or twenty degrees. So nearly
simultaneous were the two oc,
currences that no difference in
the instant of, their manifesto
tion could be detected. Shut
ting himself up in a dark room
containing the galvanometer,
he sigualed when the needle
moved, to an observer Of the
storm, who also gave signal
when a flash occurred; and the
exchange of signals was always
found to be simultaneous. 1t
was ascel tanned on the follow
ing day that the storm was
more than twelve miles distant,
thus showing that over five
hundred square miles of earth's
surface was affected at each
flash Of lightning.

From the Ohio Statesman.
Important Advice to the
Ohio Democracy.

AS the time is approaching
for the primary meetings of
the Democracy in the several
counties in this State, for coun.
ty offices, and as the approach,
ing campaign will be one of
unusual interest and import
ance, it behooves the Demo
Gratis in every county in the
State to lay aside all minor
considerations and select only
men Of the highest integrity
and ability to fill all their
county offices. Now is the
propitious time, and every ef.
fort should be made to rescue
Ohio from Radical rule; there
fore, let us place on our tickets
the names of men of known
and tried ability, men Of po>
litical experience and influence,
because not only Democrats,
but many honest Republicans,
will rally to their support
Personal and local preferences
should all be laid aside, and
honesty, and ability to dis
charge the duties OF the office
acceptably to the public,
should be the only considera.
tons in determining the choice
of our candidates. Let the
Democratic press throughout
the State earnestly recommend
the Importance to this subject
to their readers. Let each in.
di1idual Democrat endeavor to
secure the consummatlon of
this plan, and after such nomi>
nations are made let him de-
vote his energies to secure the
largest possible vote for each
candidate, and success will
perch upon our banner, and
Ohio rejoice in the restoration
Of honesty and good govern
ment,

A New York paper of one
day last week announces the
sailing from that city for En-.
rope of twenty-five Mormon
Apostles.
One of the purposes of this
hegira is said to be that Of indu-
cling moneyed Europeans to
take stock in Utah Mines
Another object, as given by q
veracious reporter, is far more
important. 1t is said that the
growing desire for dress among
the women of Salt Lake, since
the residence there of mum.
Der of wives and daughters of
moderately wealthy Gentiles,
has been the cause of inumer-
Gus outbreaks among the wo-
men who are, in the larger
numbers, joined to one man,
and the growing tendency to
extravagance in dress has de-
termined the chiefs of the saints
to introduce to their harems
the poorer and more ignorant
of the women of Europe, who
are to be made to believe that
to dress that to dress as plainly
and cheaply as the Shakers is
the only very sure road to the
Mormon heaven. The deter
mination to dress extravagantly
which had within the past few
years taken an unyielding hold
upon the women of Utah, was
sufficient in itself to do away
with polygamy in a few years.
The movements of this last
mission of Mormon apostles for
the exaltation of plainness and
cheapness in dress, and the
placing of Utah mining stocks
abroad, will be watched with
painful anxiety by the saints
who remain, for on its entire
success they depend for the
upholding of polygamy perma-
nently in the realm Of the Lat
ter Day Saints.

truth is, the whole income tax
from the start, as levied upon
the people by an act of Con.

there is no doubt the United

assent to this if the subject was

How TO USE A GRINDsToNE.
i. Don't waste the stone by
running it in the water, but if
you do, don't allow it to stand
in water when not in use, as
this will cause a soft place.
2. Wet the stone by drop
ping water on it from a pot
suspended above the stone, and
stop off the water when not in
use.
3. Don't allow the stone to
get out of order, but keep it
perfectly round by use of gas
pipe, or hacker.
4. Clean off all greasy tools
before sharpening, as grease ol
oil destroys the grit.
5. Observe. When you ge'
a stone that suits your purpose
send a sample of the grit to th'
dealer to select by; a hal
ounce sample is enough, ant
can be sent iu a letter by mail
