Carbolic acid has its yotaries, as well as

Lyman's Historical Chart.

A great writer has said, that History is
Philosophy teaching by Example. Hence
the great Importance attached to it by the
wisest and best minds in all ages. 1t is one
of the serious evils of the present day that
the youth of both sexes so generally prefer
the exciting pages of Fiction, which give
only false and exaggerated views of life, in
the majority of cases, to the sound and in
structive lessons of real human experience.
A more accurate and comprehensive
knowledge of general history can be OBJ
tanned by a few weeks study of this Chart
than by many months reading All the
leading teachers of schools and colleges
who have examined it, recommend it in the
highest terms. 1t gives at glance the
leading facts in the history of every nation,
from the earliest period down to the year
1872, and the plan of the Chart is SO simple
that it can be understood by all. =
There is no branch of learning more in
structive or pleasing than history, and we
hope this useful aid to its study Will find a
place in every family. Mr.. Lawson is now
canvassing this and Marshall townships.
and will give those who wish the Chart an
opportunity to subscribe.

Neal Re-N0nsauuteG!
DANIEI NJ MURPHY,
Chairman II. G. +. G. {

The doings of the Democratic Con
vention can be briefly told. Hon. L
T. Neal was renominated on the 5tl
ballot, receiving 68 votes-iust two
more than the necessary number.
The contest opened with six candi
dates in the feld-Neal, of Ross
Tarbell, of Brown, Green, of Pike
Thomas, of Adams, and Dickey and
Dunn Of Highland, all of whom were
successfully withdrawn except Neal
and Tarbell, who were fairly matched
on the last ballot.
A shrewd and powerful combina
ton was formed by Highland, Brown,
Adams and Pike, to defeat Neal, by
putting a resolution in the platform,
denouncing as guilty Of peculation
all who accepted increased pay under
the ''Salary Grab" law-Neal having
drawn his salary under that law be-
fore taking his seat, though he voted
for its repeal afterwards. The point
against him was well taken, and had
the combination been engineered by
a more skillful and cool-headed leader
we believe it would have succeeded
in making Neal "one-termer." As
it was, he escaped only 'by the skin
of his teeth, the obnoxious resolu-
ton being lost by the close vote OF
66 to 63! The passage-at-arms be-
tween our young townsman, Ulrich
Sloane, who reported and advocated
the resolution, and Mr.. Vanmetre, OF
Ross, who defended Neal, was stormy
and personal in high degree, and
for a few minutes the excitement was
intense, but it gradually subsidized af-
ter the defeat of the resolution, and
at the close of the Convention har-
mony was apparently restored, Mr..
Sloane introducing Mr.: Neal to the
Convention amid around of applause,
and we presume he and his followers
who supported the grabbing" reso-
luton, intended to defeat Neal, will
now support him with equal ardor-
ignoring all sTlch trifing considera-
tons as consistency for the sake OF
the partyl

THINNING OUT FRUIT.-M. NJ. B.
Bateham, one of the most experienc-
ed fruit-growers in the West, writes
this to the Ohio Farmer:
This leads me to urge upon those
who have trees of peaches, plums or
pears, especially which are set full
of fruit, to thin it out severely, at
this time, and our word for it the
size and quality of that which is left
to ripen will be so much improved as
to abundantly compensate for the loss
in numbers and the labor of thin
ning-besides the benefit of preserv-
ing the health and vigor of the trees.
If I had spent hundred dollars in
stead of twenty for labor in thinning
my peach crop, couple of years ago,
1 am convinced it would have been a
thousand dollars advantage to me. "
Such are the lessons of experience.

Joke on a Candidate.

The Georgetown, Brown county
Sentinel of last week has the follow

tute Ohio for Indiana, Neal for No

for Toliver, and the cream may be
enjoyed by all. Read:
"Out in Indiana, two years ago, a
little fellow who had never drank any

rolled qud, managed toproeure the
nomination, in strong Democratic
district, for Congress, and in due
course was elected. He was not one
Of the original salary grabbers, but
t;fter his election commenced draw
ing bis monthly pay under the law.
This raised such a stir among his
constituents, backed up by other
aspirants for the place, that it was
generally understood that Mr.. Nolan,
the said Congressman elect, would
never procure second nomination.
Accordingly, this year, several can
didates have entered the field, and,
among others, O Mr.. Dunlap, who
has been sorely prosecuted on &C
count of his alleged sales of the
'spirits," and Donald ToGver, who
has the reputation of being about
the sickest electioneerer in all the
Wabash settlement. The other day
Toliver, who on the whisky ques-
ton has not been solid either way,
ran across a Teutonic friendwho bad
always stood by him, and commenced
his claims. To his sur
prise his German fellow citizen en-
phatically announced his determine
ton to vote for Dunlap, the whisky
Coaxing was all in vain.
So Toliver, as a last resort, concluded
to adopt threats. Knowing Nolan's
strictly temperate habits, he con-
GUIDED he was the last man his dear
constituent would vote for. There
fore, turning upon he of ''De Fader-
and" he said: "Sir, if you don't
support me and abandon Dunlap, I
will throw my influence to Nolan"
What was his surprise when the
German friend replied: ':Dot ust
suits me. He ish my zecond joiceI'
''If this had not hapenedin Indi-

swear it sounds like it might have
