CRUSADE ITEMS.

Madame Hyacinthe has written an
encouraging letter to the crusaders.
- If drunkenness can be stopped,
who cares if the revenues do get
tight?
At Niles, Ohio, after three weeks
effort, the ladies gained tLeir first
victory on the 9th.
The crusading women Of Phila-
delphia have induced one thousand
Eve hundred and forty-six drunkrrds
to sign the pledge during the past
six months.
The crusade visiting commenced
in Pittsburgh and Allegheny city the
Sth. The ladies were generally well
received but met with little success
in obtaining signatures to the pledge.
The New England seventy-fifth
conference of the NJ. E. Church,
which met in Boston last week,
adopted a protest against licensing
the liquor traffic, and also against
the repeal of the prohibitory law.
The Tifin ladies continue earnest
in their work. Nicholas Bartill sur
rendered his saloon to them on the
7th. In the afternoon, two thousand
people assembled to see the liquors
poured out. The announcement of
his surrender was greeted by the
ringing Of bells.
In Dayton on the 7th, the women
crusaders, were surrounded by a
foul mouthed crowd, and pistols and
knives we're displayed. A riot be-
came imminent, and the Police Com
missioners interfered and desired
the ladies' to retire. The Mayor
has since issued a proclamation sup
pressing the crusade work.
At Bucyrus last week, the saloon
lists hired foreign band, and pro
viding themselves with brooms
mounted a large platform on wheels,
on which the band also was station
ed. The rig was drawn by four
horses, and followed the praying wo-
men. When the band became ex
hausted the irrepressible Shaw, har-
ragued from the platform. The
women stuck to their work, however,
until the band "played" out.

HISTORY OF A BIG ENTER
PRISE.

On the good old principle that 'honesty is
sure to win" there can be little question that
the shortest route to success is in the rigid
practice of square dealing" and seldom have
we found this fact moro fOrcibly illustrated
than in the following interesting details:
Buoyant with spirit of enterprise, and yet
radiant in honorable sentiment, ,inculcated un-
der worthy early instruction, some fifteen
years ago, three young men in Boston, con-
csiVed the idea Of forming co-partnership
for the manufacture Of clothing. Possessing
exceptional advantages not the least
of which were talent and strict integrity
they lost no time in husbanding for them
selves good field Of operation. Their per-
sistent efforts were soon refreshed by gentle
showers Of success, and the rays Of '.Fortune
SUM lent willing service to mature for them
bOuntiful harvest, Thus, the comparatively
small (but honorable) outset-like the grain
of mustard seed in the psrabls-germinated
noble institution, casting its branches in all
their purity and characteristic merit in every
direction. Encouraged by each successful
step they soon became alive to the desirability
of sharing their good fortune and growing ex-
perisnce with those to whom they were 50
largely indebted for their prosperity, hence
they resolved to retail the goods which they
manufactured, that cash purchasers might de-
rive their honsst mO'tsy's sOOrtk at s0Aolssals
rates. It would be needless to animadvert on
the impetus thus induced to their already
large trade. In harmony with their noble
motto from the outset, and in recognition Of
ths city to WhssA they sWad tAsiE cepusEs;Al |

A FEW DAYS AGO Woodford of
New York, introduced a bill into the
House, which at first glance one
would think should pass without op-
position from any source. 1t pro-
vides simply that no public officer.
shall receive any pay or emOluments
fer his services except his legal sal
ary; and it further provides that the
use of public property for private
purposes shall be strictly prohibited.
Excellent provisions, and well cal
oulated to try the sincerity of those
who professedly favor civil service
reform. The Sanborns and the
Jayneses and all their aiders and
abettors in custom houses, revenue
Offices and collectoss' and marshals'
places, will take their exit; inform
ers and spies viii no longer find en-
couragement in their calling, should
this bill pass. But the objections
which have been sprung against it,
indicate that it will hardly pass with
out a struggle. 1t viii strip notifies
and perquisites from officials who
have pocketed as much or more
from these sources as from their
established salaries. Pass the bill
by all means.

The new Districting bill reported
to the Senate, constitutes the Sew
enth District Of Erie, Senecs, Han
cock, and Sandusky counties, as
they think sure Democratic Dis
trict, but With Charley Foster as our
standard 6eare-, with the grand rec
ord be has made in exposing the
Sanborn fraud, we think we could
carry the district Tor him if they
even threw Ottawa into the Dem
ocratic scale.
LATER-But it so happens the
Senate has had too much good sense
to pass the bill, and the old Tenth
remains unchanged, with Foster as
its Representative.

Visit to Messengers Tobacco Factory
Toledo, o.

Few manufactures in Northern Ohio, or in
fact throughout the State, have much wider
reputation than the one it was recently our
privilege to inspect in Toledo, that of Mr..
Chas. R, Messenger, manufacturer and whole
sale dealer in Tobacco, Snuff and Cigars, at
272 and 274 Summit street. The establish
ment of this house dates so far back as lS47,
Mr.. c. Bronson being the original proprietor.
He was, however, succeeded by the present
energetic and able principal in 1866, and the
rapid progress the business has made under
the efficient conduct Of the latter gentleman
is clearly demonstrated in the immense con-
nection it now commands throughout the
States-in fact, from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc ocean. First repairing to the store rooms
we found that the leaf in its pure state is re-
ceived in very large hogheads, weighing on
an average some 1000 pounds, and is neatly
packed in "hands"-much resembling an open
fan-which amply accounts for how ingenu-
ity eau devise means of getting the most in
the least space. These rooms, three in num-
Der, 40 by so feet, are on the basement, and
above which are yet the packing and shipping
room and thee other stories. We next pro-
coed to the cutting, stripping and casing rooms,
45 feet by $50 feet, where forty to fifty hands
are industriously employed. They are chiefly
females, and judging from their smiles, and the
comparative composure with which they dex-
trously ply their avOcation, one is irresistibly
impressed there is happiness in the fragrant
weed even long before the consumer INDUCES
its consoling influence. Having passed
through the hands of this industrious multi
tuds, who each hold special compartment of
their own, the leaf is placed carefully in piles
and slightly moistensd to admit Of its being
more conveniently handled. Next it is strip
ped by machinery and then comss to the knife.
It has doubtless been a matter Of surprise to
many how it is possible to cut tobacco SO
fine and so uniformly even Here we were
brought Vis a vis with the sequai-strongly
suggestive "thsrs iS nothing impossible under

tent made Glorious
by the arrival OF beautiful spring,
with its balmy days, warm showers,
green fields and budding trees. But
with all this beauty and brightness
comes work. The gardens must be
made, lawns cleared up, house
cleaning, painting, papering, white
washing, DC, to be done. For as
Nature awakens to new life and puts
on fresh livery, so we, naturally,
initiate her in this; and what more
fitting example could We follow than
hers =?
Now, such being the case, it is a
matter of the greatest Importance to
know how best to do this, and where
to procure the necessary materials of
the best quality, and at the same
time at the least cost. That "the
best is the cheapest in the end" is
fact accepted and acknowledged by
all. First tits the best at the begin
ming, lasts longer, costs no more for
the labor to apply than poor mate
rials, and lastly, there is very little
difference in the first cost.
lam speaking now of paints in
particular. Do you want to paint
white? There is no better or cheap
er made than the Phoenix Brand of
Eekstein Hills & Co., for which l
am special agent,
1t has now been tried in this city
and county for ten years, and neUer
for once, has it failed to give entire

cottages, &C., we have our own
colored paints, which, for durability
and cheapness, far excel all liquid or
chemical paints. They never fade or
peel, and retain their lustre for years
Zinc Paint, Graining Colors, Var

and at the lowest price. So much
for paints.
Now, after painting, the smoky
walls must be papered and decorated;

largest and best variety of Wall Pa

must be sold at the lowest prices.
Now this is saying good deal, butif
you think of papering, don't buy un-
til you look at my samples, and you
will be convinced that this statement
is true. But doyou ask where is this
place ? Where are such bargains to
be had ? And where only are the
best goods kept Why! Where
else than at McCulloch's old and
reliable Drug Store! Established So
years ago Come and see.

Ar Mt. Vernon, Illinois, a few
days ago the wife and sister of a
man who had obtained liquor at a
drug store, on physicians prescrip-
tion, went to the drug store and de-
manded the prescription, the wife
drawing a revolver and pointing it
at the clerks head to enforce her
demand. He advised her to go to
the physician who gave it and have
him revoke it, which she did, with
the same persuasive weapon. This
is rather a forcible way Of carrying
matters, and cannot help but bring
reproach upon the cause of the cru
saders. One illegal deed on the

The first awaits (if it has not already
