| All parties seem to agree that the
Democracy Of Ohio have put strong
ticket in the field, and the campaign
will no. doubt prove q spirited and ex.
citing one. Tits thought that many Of
the Democrats who have gone into the
new party movement, will be brought
back to the fold, and the result will be
that the new party candidates will have
to rely chiefly upon the Liberal Repub-
licans for their strength. This will not
elect them. but 1t is just possible that
the presence Of third set Of candidates
in the contest may result in the election
Of the Democratic ticket.

SPIRITS OF AMMONIA.

This article is generally known about
the house Us tshartshorn," though harts-
horn is q very different thing. Harris
horn is not often met with in this coun-
try-it is kind Of gluey substance
made from the horns Of n species Of deer,
while spirits of ammonia is a liquid to
DO had at any drug store, and one that
may be strongly recognized by its
strong smell. A good Whit at it will
bring tears from ones eyes-a mention
of this fact leads every child to under
stand clearly what we mean by spirits
Of ammonia.
Few housekeepcrS understand the
value aud uses of spirits of ammonia.
It Is generally used as linament, or to
I'LL q 'ssmelling BOTTLE" but there are a
hundred other important uses to which
1t may be applied, Il few of which we
shall here mention:
Spirits of ammonia is an excellent
article for removing grease spots from
hne clothes. Rub the spirits on with
q bit Of sponge, then spread a piece of
piotting paper over itand iron out with
moderately warm iron.
10 wash laces put Is to 20 drops in a
quart or more of hot suds, and the oper-
alton will be quick and satisfactory.
To clean silver, put two teaspoonsful
OF ammonia in a quart of hot suds, and
use nail brush.
To wash paint, put IL tablespoonful of
ammonia In quart of hot soap suds and
wipe Off the paint with the suds on a
flannel rag. Very little rubbing does,
the work.
To clean hair brushes, put II teaspoon
full of ammonia to pint of water, and
dip in the brushes repeatedly, throwing
the water out with jerk. All the

A GREEN SPECTACLE VIEW OF TIL
PANIC.

The veteran banker, John Thompson,
in Thompson's Bank-Note Reporter,
thus sums up the financial situation:
It is now quite certain that we shall
get, during tho fall and winter, near
800, 200, 900 of gold from Europe. hit
| could be lodged In the Sub-Treasury,
and gold notes Of small denominations
obtained against it, it would be a vast
relief In moving the crops.
If thesavings banks that have timitlly
locked up millions Of currency would
let it out in some judicious manner, SO
that pay-rolls can be paid, those banks
will be much more likely to run smooth
~ through the winter than by hugging
the currency, to tho arrangement OF
labor. There are good many millions
that must have employment and be
paid, or they will, if possible, have
their deposits out of the savings banks.
This panic will be of short duration,
and will DO called in future the Great
Scare. They Will be the lucky ones
who buy and invest before the tide
turns. Contraction of business without
economy and stagnation, are sure to be
followed up with cheap money and adj
vancing prices for good property and
sound bonds. The balloons must all
burst and the wrecks all sink out of
sight; then the track will be clear for
another good run.
Economy, retrenchrnent and sober
common sense are now in order.
About i zoo, 900 of the population Of the
United States have fallen from the top
to the bottom of fortunes ladder in a
month. Those who have not fallen
can we'll afford to set the example of
economy and retrenchment, and in
many cases go further and help some
poor deluded swell who has gone rail-
roading to utter destruction. 1t re-
quired just such Il panic and just such
downfalls to bring daring and giddy
fortune-hunters to common sense.
More good than harm will follow.
Religion and morals will be elevated
when the newly-made millionaire re-
turns to an honest livelihood.

{. DIE WITH MY FACE TO THE FOE.''

A writer in the Louisville Courier !
Journal tells the following story of the |
late war:
A single shot, followed by loud |
shrek, told us that one OF my best men
bradley was hurt. He proclaimed
his agony with loud voice, turned over
so vigorously that tho surgeon had
difficulty in getting near him.
"Poor fellow!" said the doctor, as
he saw whitish liquid oozing out;
ssshot in the bladder. Pm afraid it's
fatal" ...
And he commenced opening his coat.
"Oh, my Godl" said Bradley, Pm
a dead man."
"Keep up your spirits, my boy;
never say de-" said Captain johnson,
kneeling kindly over him.
"Doctor," asked the wounded SOL
dier, feebly, twill you write to my
mother and tell her that I died bravely,
doing my duty, with my face to the
foe, and that I thought Of her when
dying3"
eyes," said the doctor, with dim
eyes and q husky voice; 81 will write
to her, and tell her, too"
But suddenly springing to his feet,
with an indignant voice, said:
"Why, confound it, man, you're not
hurt a bit. It's only your canteen that, g
shot and that's the water from 1t. Get
up, will you!"
Bradley raised himself up slowly,
felt himself all over, and, with an ex-
ceedingly foolish countenance, crawled
back to his position amid the uproari-
GUS laughter Of the whole regiment.
For months after that, ON march or
L - II.
some direction demanding:
"What shall tell your mother?"
and perhaps half q dozen responses
would be heard: "Tell her Idied with
my face to the foe, " and then Bradley
would come out and hunt for the man
that said it.
He seldom found him, but when he
did there was certain to be fight.

Guano has not, as generally supposed,
been deposited by birds, but is the re-
suit Of the accumulation of fossil marine
plants and animals, whose organic
matter has been transformed into nitro
genous substance, leaving the mineral
part behind. OF course it was original
ly deposited On tho bottom of the sea,
but the islands on which it is now found
have themselves been lifted up from
the depths of the ocean.
