WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Michigan will vote upon the
woman suffrage question at the
next State election, and it is
thought that the cause stands
good chance of success. Kansas
was the first State liberal enough
to even test the popular senti-
ment on this question and found
it adverse to the enfranchisement
of women. A woman suffrage
resolution has also lately passed
the Iowa legislature, and after
favorable action by the next leg
islature will be submitted to the
people. With the Ohio Consti-
tutional Convention almost per-
suaded, the favorable action, in
one way or another, of several
State legislatures, and with the
fresh claims which the success of
the temperance crusaders will be
certain to lead them to make the
cause of women's rights is not
altogether hopeless. At least it
is not retarded by that apathy
which is fatal to all reform.

IN COURT.

Down in Xenia the temperance
fight has been transferred to the
courts. The liquor-sellers find
themselves confronted with for
midable array of indictments, ,and
as there is no difiuity in estab-
fishing each case the amount of
fines and costs piled upon the
saloonists becomes appalling
One was convicted on forty-one
indictments and let off easy with
an aggregate of nearly seven
hundred dollars fine, with the
costs to be added. Another was
mercifully treated to the tune of
$40 and costs and sent to Jail in
default Of payment.

AN OLD TICKET.

Conductor A. C. Ella, who has
been on the Cleveland and Pitts
burgh Railroad ever since it was
built, and ran the first train
through nineteen years ago, col
lected a ticket Monday morning,
which " as yellow with the mould
Of age having been issued in July
1857. The printing and shape of
the ticket was very peculiar and
bore the stamp of Stubenville on
one side and Cleveland Railaoad,
in plain letters on the other.

and collected by the coolest" con-
ductor, which makes the affair an
odd coincidence. - StubenyilIe

AFFAIRS AT BucYRUs.

Last Wednesday morning, VIM.
Shaw, a loud-voicsd candidate
for office, followed the women,
outraged decency and disgraced
the town by loud and blasphem
Gus harangues; but he could not
succeed in interrupting the exer-
cises. In the afternoon he de-
sisted, and the visitation and
street exercises proceeded with
out disturbance, and the town
was unusually quiet. That even
ing the town council unanimous
ly passed resolutions instructing
the mayor to employ sufficient
number of special police to pre-
vent the women from stopping
and singing or praying in front
of the saloons. So the mayor
and town council, unwilling to
stop a rnffian brawling in the in
terests of the beer shops, are
bravely willing to try and stop
the women instead. Such is Bu-
cyrus.
Later accounts state that the
resolution of the town council, to
appoint special police to stop the
street praying, brought ladies
from their sick beds to undertake
the street work. The wife of
Hon. Judge Scott was one of
these invalids. Four bands were
out all day Friday in large num-
bers, and many women came in
from the country. Perfect order
prevailed. The mayor finds it
difficult to get his special police.
almost every respectable citizen
whom he approaches resents the
proposition as an insult.

IMPORTANT ELECTION BILL.

A bill has passed both branches
Of the Legislature designed to pre-
vent voters being imposed upon by
persons who resort to the trick OF
having printed what purports to be
a regular ticket in which is inserted
one or more names not properly be-
longing there. Frauds of this kind
are frequently practiced and the re-
suit of an election sometimes afec-
ted thereby. The act just passed
is an amendment of the law "to pre-
serve the purity of elections"passed
May 5th, 1868. Section 2 embra-
ces the essential features, and is as
follows:
SEC. ,. That all ballots voted at
any election held in pursuance OF
law shall be written on plain white
paper, or printed with black ink,
with a space of not less than one
fifth of an inch between each name
on plain white news printing paper,
without any device or mark of any
description to distinguish one ticket
from another,or by which one ticket
may be known from another by its
appearance, except the words at the
head of the ticket; and whenever
any ballot with a certain designated
heading shall contain printed there
on in place of another, any name
not found on the regular ballot hav-
ing such heading, such name so
found shall be regarded by the
judges of the election as having been
placed there for the purpose of fraud
and said ballot shall not count for
the name so found, and it shall be
unlawful for any person to print for
distribution at the polls, or distribute
to any elector, or knowingly to vote
any ballot, printed or written, con-
trary to the provisions of this act;
Provided, that nothing herein con-
strued to prohibit the erasure, cor
rection or insertion of any name by
pencil mark or with ink upon the
face of the printed ballot.

FATAL PRACTICAL JOKE.

An Ohio paper gives the de-
tails of what is called a lamenta-
BILE accident that occurred in
Pike township, Fulton county, a
few days ago. The circumstan-
ces are substantially as follows:
VIM. Mullen Jr., who lives within
a short distance of Winameg, has
been the habit Of going in the
evening for his mail, and had, on
more than one occasion, been an
noyed by a certain dog bowling
near his house, and, on leaving
the house Saturday night, he
made the remark in the presence
of a young man by the name of
Bird R. Fleming, who was living
there, that he was going to the
store, and if that dog made that
noise again he was going to shoot
him. This young man got in ad-
vance of Mullen some way, and,
for the purpose of soaring him,
initiated a dog, when Mullen
drew his revolver and fired, kill
ing the boy almost instantly.

IN A DIFFICULTY.

The builders of the outer
hreakwater of Buffalo harbor
have struck formidable obsta-
Gle. A little more than half of
the four thousand feet of wall
had been built when a bed of
soft clay, varying from eight to
thirty feet in thickness, was
reached. How to proceed in the
face OF the obstacle completely
battles the engineers, and the
wall cannot be left in its present
state without seriously damaging
the harbor by making a new
sand bar. Anew survey is to be
made at snce.

THE DUKE AND DUCHESS.
A Royal Kissing Match at Windsor.

The London Times, In giving an
account of the arrival OF the Duke
and Duchess of Edinburgh at Wind

Prince Leopold, the Duke of CAM

skillfully driven so that the door of
the chief saloon carriage comes to a
stop opposite the door of the royal
waiting room. 1t has hardly halted
before the Duke of Edinburgh
jumps hurriedly out, embraces his
mother. and turns to assist his
young wife. No sooner has the
Grand Duchess set foot On the plat
form than a glad smile lights up
the features of the Queen, who ad-
vances to meet her, takes her in
both arms before she can make any
courtesy or formal greeting and
kisses her repeatedly on both cheeks
Nth the ,carmest affection. Per-
haps one ought not to note too cur
iously the little incidents of such a
meeting. But all England rill be
glad to hear of this true motherly
relcome given to the young stran-

the Grand Duchess returned the
embrace Uith equal Warmth, and in
that moment must have felt instinc-
lively that in her nep home there

DISEASE AMONG CATTLE.

One of the Cincinnati papers
says that a singular disease has
broken out among the COWS on
the open plains near Lafayette,
Indiana, and has proved fatal in
every case The veterinary sur
geons pronounce it st. Anthony's
fire. The cattle are taken with
intolerabls itching, and in their
intense agony frequently rub the
hide from their bodies, when a
greenish fluid oozes from the
pores, which after death emits a
most offensive odor. Shortly af-
ter being attacked, the cattle
tie commence jerking in the
muscles and limbs, and finally lie
down and die, although retaining
their appetites to the very last.
As yet there has been no remedy
found that will cure the malady.

The Wiener Farce.

1t would be difficult says the
Cleveland Leader, to find in the
whole record OF partisan politics
more abject and pitiable col
lapse than the breakdown of the
Wiener contested election case
before the Ohio Senate. The
scheme was undertaken or set
in motion du-ing that period of
wild a hilarious triumph which
followed the discovery that Will
liam Allen, though receiving
the smallest number of votes
cast for any Democratic candi-
date for Governor of o. for many
wears. had still been elected
by the stay at home Republicans
who had permitted the election
10 go by default. In that inspir-
ed moment the Democrats Of
Ohio fairly lost their reason.
The year of jubilee had come
The party Of Jackson and the
rock-rooted principles, so long
tredden in the dust, had risen
again and wsuld henceforth take
charge Of the Affairs OF Ohio. So,
thinking it best while they were
about it to make a clean job of
it, the managers concluded to
oust Mr.. Welch and install Wiem-
er, the Democratic aspirant for
State Treasurer. As he was be-
hind his competitor only a few
thousand votes, the obvious
method was to annul few thous-
and ballots in one or more Re
publican counties. So a mighty
effort was made. Copies of all
Republican tickets used through
out the state were collected and
an expert set to work to ascer
tain whether they did not in
some cases fall short of the rigid
requirements of the law. Evil
dence of all trifing informalities
in management Of the polls was
collected,::and every trifllng case
was set down in pompous and
solemn impeachment as a grave
and deliberate wrong. The Ohio
Senate had a strong Democratic
majority, and before that body
the case has been tried. Every
advantage was on the side of
Wiener. He had his own time
and his own way in all details.
Finally, after every point had
been exhausted, his case proved
so complete and ridiculous a fail
ure that even a Democratic Sem
ate was constrained to dismiss it
with almost contempt. Weimer
can now 60 and hide himself.

THE RAILWAY TERROR IN ENGLAND,

1t is impossible to imagine any
line Of policy more deeply injurious
both to the temporary and the per.
manent interests of railway share
holders than that which is at pres
ent being pursued with strange per-
versity by their official representa-
tlves. During the last six months
there has been a constant success
sion of terrible accidents. At lesst
220 passengers have been killed and
nearly 1000 injured, and 1t is pro
bable that these numbers fall very
far short of the full measure of de-
sttuction. Moreover, accidents con-
tinue to be of almost daily occur
renee, and there seems to be every
reason to anticipate that even the
unprecedented slaughter of last
year may be exceeded in the pres
ent year. 1t is not surprising that,
under these circumstances, some
thing like panic should have seiz-
ed considerable body of the pub
lie with regard to the perils of rail
way travelling, and the panic is evil
IDENTIFY increasing. Every one must
have observed symptoms of it in
private society. There are now
few people who enter a train for a
long journey without uncomfortable
misgivirgs, and there would appear
to be many who have resolved not
to use the railway at all except
when it is absolutely necessary
Last year great deal of the traffic
between London and Edinburgh
was driven into the steamboats,. and
next season the desertion from the
railways will no doubt be on a lar
ger scale. 1t is, of course, impossi-
BILE to give up railway travelling al
together, and it would be absurd to
suppose that trains are likely to run
empty. Nevertheless the companies
can hardly fail to find the conse-
quences of the present reign of ter
ror unpleasantly indicated in declin-
ing passenger retur-s. 1t might
have been expected that at such a |
time the managers of the railways
would have endeavored to do what
they could to appease popular in
dignation and to allay alarm. In
stead of this, however. they seem to
think that they can browbeat the
public into abiect submission
by assuring them that railway acci-
dents are inevitable, and must just
be accepted as matter of course
