Saving Ohio 10 the Ad min misGra-

Anticipating a change in the political sem

nOnnces the fact that efforts have already
been commenced by the Administration to
save Ohio in October. Ohio will probably
be saved, but Grant and all other salary
grabbers will be lost. The farmers may
not be so generally organized this season rs
to save the State from both the old parties.
1t is the busy portion OF the year, aud farm

the politicians who have nothing else to do.
Still they might wake up in August and
September, and with the cooperation of

A Course of study for Women at
Harvard

Although the University at Cambridge
still refuses to admit women as students
within its walls, it is quite willing to as
sist in what is called their higher educa-
ton, and to give them opportunity for
collegiate study under its supervision.
The faculty of the college have Just
made arrangements for the examination
of women in course of study carefully
marked out for them and published with
a full list of the necessary books. The
preliminary examination will be held for
the first time in June of next year, and
will embrace English, French, physical
geography, botany or physics, arithmetic,
algebra, through quadratic equations,
plane geometry, history. and either
Greek, Latin or German An advanced
examination will be held for girls who
have passed the preliminary one. No
girl under seventeen Is received at the
first examination, none under eighteen at
the second. No degrees are conferred on
female students, bat they receive certiti-
Gates signed by the President, declaring

place and time of examinations viii be

of examination for those girls who need
such help. The examination will last

From the Kosciusko Republican (POwers)
Paper.
We stated that the first, but not the only
object of the existence of the jackson ring,
was to defeat Gov. Powers. The second
object is to nominate somebody else. The
ring-masters know that Gov. Powers is the
strongest man whose name is now before
the people. They know that neither Ames,
abers, Elournoy nor Chandler are as
strong as Powers, and hence they desire to
break him down with the hope of bringing
their man upon the track " "Parturient

These two fresh newspaper items are
suggestive:
A young widow, Mrs. Lottie Palmer,
awhile ago opened photograph gallery
in Racine, Wisconsin. The consequence
was perfect passion on the part of the
gentlemen of Racine to be photographed.
This might do for the single sitters and
widovers; but when the married men
began to have their pictures taken the
matrons Of Racine went for that gallery,
demolished the camera, and generally
put negative in the most positive way
upon the business.
Miss Alice johnson, a pretty young
girl, having started a barber shop in a
Kansas city, a local paper states that all
the wives in town seemed moved by
common impulse to present their hus-
bands with some little love token By
coincidence they all selected
razors and brushes and mugs.

propriated. Salaries may be raised or
reduced, but beyond the amount zap

washed perfectly clean. Then, on leisure
days, or long wet evenings, when no one
is likely to drop in, assert and make the
most Of it's contents. Old calico dresses
are ripped apart the Innings, if good, are
nicely ironed. and rolled up by them
selves, ready for use when wanted. The
best breadths are saved for various pur-
poses-if strong and good for kitchen
aprons. or for covering old quilts never
for making up new ones. Faded. discol-
ored pieces answer nicely for Innings to
the children's dresses or sleeves, saving
wards of new material in the year. al
ways have facings and Innings on hand in
nv drawer of pieces. But be sure they
are carefully ironed before you lay them
away, or ten to one you will never use
them. You seldom wish to stop when
cutting out dress to heat an iron and
press out a crumpled piece of calico to
line it. I save, with special care, my
strong pieces of white muslin-they are
useful for so many things. Next come
nv carpet-rags, and these keep cut up
as closely as I can. If bagful should ac-
cumulate, it would seem quite burden.

Value Of Castor Oil.

A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph writes: "We have used meats
foot oil in it's simple form and prepared
in various ways, also the leather preserva-
tive oils, sold in cans at the stores; also
all the oleaginous, butyraceous, and other
lugubrious substances known to the farm
kitchen, but we give the preference over
them all to castor oil. Wehave had boots
year old that we oiled with it and the
leather was soft, smooth and water proof
to the last time they were used. We ap-
ply it clear, without heat. A little lamp
black might be used on old leather, but is
seldom necessary on new, as the oil itself
seems to keep the backing on and rem
ders the leather black and Of fine appear
ance. Those who have been annoyed
with hard, cracked. water-soaked boots
the surface of the latter rough without
backing, and the leather shrunken and
wrinkled so as to chafe, gall and other
wise punish their feet, will find castor oil
well applied to be every way satisfactory.
We have used it for wagons and buggies,
and find that it is in every way superior.
