A Mighty Commonwealth.


In the course OF an eloquent speech
at a Masonic banquet in Steubenville
the other night, Senator Updegraff
said:
sin 1910, when New York stood
first and Pennsylvania second in
white population, Ohio was ninth.
Since that time its progress has been
such q miracle of growth and prosper
ity, that its history and statistics
seem fable and a falsehoOd to the
amazed people of older and slower
countries. In 1870 its constantly in
creaslng population was 2,665, ,26O.
Last year the aggregate assessed value
of its daily augmenting real and pei
sonal property was 81 ,524, 323, lis.
the true value of the same is set down
at g, ,335, ass, 1894, or about four times
what it was in 1850. There are in the
state 20,000,0 900 acres of cultivated
land. which last year yielded $500, ,OOO,-
600 worth of farm products. There
are now S141, ,941 900 invested in man
ufacturing, supplying 137, 200 men
with labor, and yielding last year q
product of $500, ,O00,0 900. In 1871 there
were mined 1916 ,G66 bushels Of coal,
and geologists compute the amount OF
available coal in the state to be D.
00O, 900, 900 tons, and new sources of
supply are being constantly discover
ed. The supply already known would
furnish the vast amount mined last
year annually for more than $1,000
years. OF pig iron, that standard
Staple of modern industry, Ohio, in
lS7l, manufactured 353, 900 tons. Eve
ry ton of iron represents abOutt@enty-
five days work, as nearly So per cent.
of its value is the labor it involves.
That amount of iron manufactured
then means 9,S25, 900 days labor,
worth SI4, ,737 500, or the constant
employment of AZ, 750 workmen, and
the support of 163, $50 American men,
women and children. But better
and grander than all these proofs Of
material prosperity comes the crown
ing fact that during the past year
Ohio has expended more than S7,0O0,-
600 for educational purposes in furn-
ishing the means OF knowledge to eve
~ class aud condition within her
borders. That more than 10000
children are now enrolled in her pub.

An exceedingly valuable and desir.
able paint for rough buildings may be
made rs follows: Take two ounce;
OF sal-ammoniae and two ounces Oi
potash, dissolve these in three quarts
Of water; add one quart raw linseed
oil, then take, say ten pounds dry red
paint, and add water to make il thin
enough TO put it on with q white
wash brush. Add one gill turpentine
to the linseed oil. If red does not
suit, add anything to alter the color.
Paint made as above will be almost
as bright in ten or twelve years on
rough buildings as when first put on.
To make the buildings fancy, you
may paint the corner boards with
white lead and oil.

Instead OF wonders ceasing when
we enter heaven, they will bat in
crease, for the more we know, the
more wonderful does everything be-
come. Wonder belongs to knowledge
not to experience. The learned man
wonders at flower, or insect, while
the ignorant or the child, sees moth
to attract his attention. A primrose,
l doubt not, is more an object of ad-
miration and wonder to an angel than
I to US.

There is power in silent influence.
It is not what good men say which
gives them power over their fellow
men, so much as the fact that they
are Christians, and do Christian acLs,
and live Christian lives. 4 silent, Sc
eret, but powerful influence goes out
from them and their acts even when
they are not consciously seeking to
exercise any influence at all. In SIM
ply being for Christ they are acting for
Christ.

Decadence of the Prize Ring.

AND now even Lord O'Baldwin, the
gigantic smasher, has set his face sternly
against the prize ring. 1t is too vile a
thing to receive his support. He has
given it patient trial, and at last is forced
to throw up his hands with an exclama-
ton of disgust. O'Baldwin has suffered
much for his profession since coming to
America. He has borne Imprisonment
like martyr, but the Jail terrors could
not drive him from his high and holy
mission. He cared not for prison bars so
long as his friends rallied around him in
the brief days of his liberty, and applauded
him as heroic representative of he man.
ly art of selfdefense. But when these
friends turned against him, and with
cowardly blows struck him down in a
ring where rude kind of chivalry and
physical manhood were presumed to 90
hand in hand, the proud heart of O'Baid-
win was touched, and he resolved to suffer
martyrdom no more. From the Jail at
Steubenville the Irish pugilist sends forth
a manifesto closing with these portentous
words ''Since prize@fighting no longer
deserves the name, and the question at is
sue is not who is the best man, but where
he was born, and if his nativity does not
suit, what other means can be adopted.
even to murder, if necessary, to prevent
his defeat, | abandon forever the prize
ring to such men as Riley, Geohegan and
their cowardly TOOLS" This Is sad, and
yet it is cheering. Sad for the reason that
O'Baldwin should have wasted so much
of vigorous life in cause which he is
forced to confess is without manhood or
honor; and cheering because the retire
ment of the Irish giant from the ring
gives rise to the hope that prize-tighting
has seen its best days in America. When

as the synonym of thievery and cowardice

then LET us trust it is indeed past redemp-

how Lord O'Baldwin proposes to make
himself useful. VIII he carry a hod, or

Night Work.

In reply to the question, how long a
time should be regarded as the minimum
to be spent in bed in each twenty-four
hours? the Lancet says: We are of course
speaking of adults; and we think we may
place the minimum at six hours for men
and seven for women, with an additional
hour, or even two, being taken whenever
it is practicable.
Then as regards night-work how far
is that specially prejudicial? We believe
that for the young it is really injurious,
by he mere fact of its being night-work !;
but for those whose organisms are con-
solidateG we greatly doubt if it be at all
injurious, per Sc. But there are sundry
conditions inexorably requiring to be
observed, if night-work is to do no harm.
First of oil, there must be no curtailment
OF the allowance of bed above mentioned
and this allowance ofrepose must be taken
In a continuous manner. A man who
works up to a. m. should after that lie
In bed till 10, and, if possible, should get
an additional hours sleep and meal
after it. Secondly, the light by which he
works at night should be very white,
powerful and steady, and should &c care.
fully concentrated, by green shade, on

most serious causes of the Standardization

Female Clerks.

WE are sorry to record that the women
employed in the Treasury Department
have been accused as body, both on the
floor of Congress and elsewhere, of being
loose and immoral in their character. 1t
is. doubtless true that some improper
women have been employed in the Trea-
sury. 1t would be miraculous if out of so
many women employed it were otherwise,
under the former imperfect system of ap-
pointment. But that more than anincon-
siderable proportion are otherwise than
virtuous and modest, we confidently deny,
and our denial is based on a thorough
acquaintance with the facts. The simple
truth is that these women as class are
as virtuous, as modest, as intelligent, as
respectable, and as discreet and lady-like
in their demeanOr as the ladies of any
CON munity of which we know, and that
even the few who constitute the unfortu-
nate exceptions to this encomium are
compelled, by the force of the common
sentiment of both men and women In the
Department, to conduct themselves dis
creetly and properly while there.
Could their cruel traducers but visit the
Department and observe the department
OF the woman clerks, day after day; could
they see them at their fatiguing employ
ment; could they know that most of them
have either children or young brothers
and sisters or aged and infirm parents
dependent upon them for support; that
many of them lost the strong arm which
they had hoped would shield them from
want and misery during the late war; that
many were themselves ON the field of bat
tie or in the hospital, ministering, as only
woman can to the sick, the wounded and
the dying, and that most of them if de-
prived of their positions would have
scarcely any other resource for the sup
port of themselves and families than the
charity of friends or of the world, we are
sure that an end would be put at once
and forever to the detraction of the women
who earn their bread by hard labor in the
Treasury Department. - Scribner's for

Beauty of Old People.

MEN and women make their own bea,l-
ty or their own ugliness. Lord Lytton
speaks in one of his novels of man
"who was uglier than he had any busi-
ness to be;" and if he could but read it,
every human being carries his life in his
face, and S good-lOoking or the reverse as
that life has been good or evil. On our
features the fine chisel of thought and
emotion are eternally at work. Beauty is
not the monopoly of blooming y1unp
men and of white-and-pink maidens.
There isa slow growing beauty that only
comes to perfection in old age. Grace be-
longs to no period of life, and goodness
improves the longer it exists. We have
seen sweeter smiles from lip of seventy
than upon lip of seventeen. There is
the beauty of youth and the beauty of
holiness-a beauty much more seldom
met, and more frequently found in the
armchair by the fire with grandchildren
around his knee, than In the ballroom or
promenade. Husband and wife, who
have fought the world side by side, who
have made common stock of Joy and sor
row, and aged together, are not infre-
quently found curiously alike in personal
appearances, and in pitch and tone of
voice-just as twin pebbles on the beach.
exposed to the same tidal influences, are
each others second self. He has gained
feminine something, which brings his
manhood into full relief. She has gained
masculine something which acts as foil
to her womanhood.-Ldd Magaz;ns.

A Wonderful Exploit.

On March 8, 1868, train on Benning.
ton and Portland Railroad was snow
bound about three-fourths of mile from
salisbury. The weather was intensely
cold; there were no provisions on the
train; ftiel was nearly exhausted; night
was approaching, and the situation began
to look desperate. Mr.. Hills two small
children were with him, and one of them,
too young to be fed with arguments,
clamored for something better. The SUI
perintendent of the road Mr.. &C. White,
was on the train, but strange to say, the
snow wouldn't clear the track for a rail-
road king. In his helplessness he was
entirely at loss for any means of relief.
until Captain Hills, without instruments
OF any kind, except the wire on the poles.
proposed, nevertheless, to telegraph to
Rutland. The superintendent was in
credulous, but Captain H. quickly cut the
wire, and communicated with the officers
OF the road at Rutland, merely striking
the ends of the wire together-thus maxi
ing and breaking the telegraphic circuit
as he would have done with the key of an
ordinary operating instrument. An
engine was Immediately sent to the re-
lief OF the blockaded train. But the en-
tire operation required the receiving, as
well as the sending of messages. This
was the crucial test Of Capt. Hills inge-
nuity, skill, and nerve, and, until this was
accomplished. the superintendent and
passengers felt no assurance that the mes
sage sent had been intelligibly commu.
nicated to the officers at Rutland. Strik-
ing his wires together, he wrote to the
operator at Rutland, as follows

ing without an instrument; will receive
your answer through my tongue" He
touched the frosty wire to his tongue, !
with the same result, at first, as that en-
Joyed by the boy who undertook to lick |
the frost from his skate-steel, but found
that the steel knew more about licking |
than he did. The wire wouldn't let 90 |
until it was warmed, and then kindly took |
the skin off with it. So the wire was |
heightened and carried into the car. After |
it was warmed, Captain II. received the |
messages by putting one end of the wire |
above and the other end under his tongue |
and letting the electric current pass
through it, when he was able to read by |
the succession of sharp and somewhat |
painful electric shocks. His success was
perfect-and he not only sent and received |
messages for the superintendent but for
several of the passengers. The only i'll |
of the exploit was the total
loss Of taste which Captain H. suffered |
