An Unfortunate Laundryman.
Mr.. Wackup, a married man

the other afternoon, and went
home to fix mp for the purpose
of spending the evening-or
rather half the night-with a
number of his friends. He
found his wife lying upon the
lounge enjoying a sick head
ache, but he couldn't find a
clean shirt. Mrs. Wackup said
his shirts were washed, but not
ironed, and she was too i'll to do
it, and it was the girls after
noon out A shade of disap-
pointment clouded his brow,
and rushing into the kitchen
he slammed the door with
much earnestness, and fortu-
nately found an iron on the
range, nice and hot. Then he
dived into the basket of damp
ened clothes, and found one of
his shirts at the bottom-just
as he expected. He spread the
garment out on a table with
out first removing the oil cloth
cover, and hurriedly consulted
his watch. Then he couldn't
find the iron-h holder and substi-
tuted his pocket handkerchief,
and after burning four OF his
fingers and breaking one of the
commandments, he landed the
hot iron on his shirt bosom :
He thought the gar ment had a
strange look, but supposed it
would assume its proper shape
when lroned-and he showed
The iron up and down like a
jackplane The labor seemed
so easy that he mentally said
he had a mind to follow the
business for a living. Then he
undertook TO turn the shirt,
and just because it adhered to
the glazed table-cover, he gave
it a violent jerk, adding at
least six inches more to the
split in the back.
+, Then he noticed for the first
-tine that he had set the red,
hot iron on the tail OF the gar
ment and scorched a hole in il
as large as his hand, and in his
haste to remove the smoothing
machine, he neglected TO use
the holder and dropped the hot
frand on his choice toe; and
when Mrs. Wackup. who was
startled hy the intensity of his
language, entered the kitchen
holding her head with both
hands, she discovered her hus
hand hopping abont the room
on one foot and clasping the
other with both his hands. The
sympathy that Mrs. Wackup
rendered was not of a nature
that her hlistered husband
vearned for just at that partic-
ular moment. She placed her
arms akimbo and indignantlv
observed: "Ain't Won ashamed
of Yourself. Won old fool! dane

Wacknp didn't tarrv to hear
his infuriated better half finish
the sentence. hut adroitlv
lodged the broom handle, and
limped out Of the room and mp
stairs to bed, without his snp

his friends that the reason he
failed to keep his engagement,

portable and liked to have
died during the night.

Go Back On Him.

GO BACK On rim.
CANTON, O., Oct. 2-The
speech of William Allen, made
IN this city a few days ago, was
strongly criticised by Mr.. Louis
Schaeffer, a prominet Demo-
crat of this city, who address.
ed a large audience In the
Opera-house last night. After
defining his position politically
as a Democrat Of the 1796.1799
school, he stated:
The main object of this meet
ing is 20 contribute in dllaying
the fears and scares nteltain
ed by some OF the deposltors
in our banks, who, ha sing be-
come alarmed through the re-
ports of the financial crisis IN
the East, have in several in
stances withdrawn their depos-
its. This would not have been
the case to the extent it was,
had not Colonel VIM. Allen,
candidate Tor Governor on Sat.
urday evening, while address
ing the people here, told them,
by way of prediction, that "The
National banks as organized
and established by the Repub-
lican party are rotten to The
core; and mark my word, in
ten days from this time (now,
mark, | give them but ten days.
every bank in the United
States will be closed, and you,
the laboring men, will not get
more than one dollar per day
tor your work, and only fifty
cents worth of beet for your
d,llar."
Now, il Colonel Allen SAID
this he did it at the wrong
lime and place; and if that is
the style of the eternal living
principles to which we are in.
vited, the less we have OF them
and the sooner Allen returns
TO Chillicothe the better. Can
ton is m anufaetnrine city; ito
shops are al certain seasons Of
The year, and at this time, ex-
pecting short accommodations
OF our banks. You all know
the character of the men at
the head of them; you all have,
d. servedly so unbounded con-
idence in them, and manufact
urers are pecuniarily and other
wise good solid men; but then
The most unbOunded confidence
may be impeached. In crisis
like the present, when there is
no real cause for 1t, a promi-
nent man like Colonel Allen
has the power to do US mis-
chief. He might almost as
we'll place the torch to our
shops as to come among US
and proclaim such incendiary
doctrines. The Withdrawing
of deposits has, to limited
extent, come, and owing prin.
cipaly to his efforts, suppose
ii continues; what will be the
consequence? No currency for
our manufacturers; they can't
pay their worklngmen; you, or
many of you, will be thrown
out of emplovment; some Of
the shops will have to work on
halt time, and some may have
to close temporarily when there
is no cause for 1t. The deposit
or Withdrawing his funds takes
them home, locks them up, ana
places them beyond legitimate
use, the farmer thereby dam
aging his own prospects and
aiding in the reduction of the
prices for wheat and other pro.
ducts. All that is requisite in
the crisis is to be calm, act
senslbly and have confidence
in our banks and manufactur
ing establishments. In place

The Democratic party oh.
tanned the ascendancy In
this State in 1867, and during
the campaign the leaders had
been preaching ECONOMY and
retrenchment" I'LL the unso-
phisticated believed they actu
oily meant it. In 1866, our
taxes were S2O,243 ,615. In 1868
under Democratic retrench-
ment they went up to $780,.
7S9,148 And in 1869 when the
Democracy had had still fur
Iher opportunities for economy
they reached $22,232,S77, an
increase of S1,979,262 within
two years. And this is d fair
specimen of Democratic "econ-
omy and retrenchment" and
the way in which they keep
their campaign promises.

During the night they were awakened from thoiI
slumbsrs by the beat and to find the part Of the
