Van Pelt, of New Vienna, is beyond
doubt the wickedest man in Ohio, if
not in the United States. He is again
out of Jail, and selling whisky.
We take the following from the Gin
cinnati Commercial of Tuesday:
when the ladies called at his saloon
this afternoon he met them at the door,
and before permitting them to enter
made them agree to allow him to occupy
half the time in devotional exercises.
After one of the ladies had concluded
PRAYER Van Pelt himself made lengthy
prayer, during which he graded the
ladies with the lowest class of brutes, and
called upon the Lord to have mercy upon
them, and teach them wisdom and un-
derstanding. Women, he said, first
caused man to sin, and there was great
need of prayer in their behalf. He said
the Lord operated the first distillery, or
at least made the first wine, and he was
but following his example. Before the
services ended he made tlree long pray
ers, the main point of which were to de-
grade women and ask for mercy in their
behalf Some of the ladies were quite
disappointed at the conclusion, as they
really expected every minute that the
Lord would smite him on the spot. The
ladies do not care to argue the case with
him, as they generally come out second
best. Tomorrow they will try the law
again, and hope to lock him up once
more. Mrs. Rice has closed her saloon
and Van Pelt, consequently, receives all
the attention. If the woman fail, the
men propose to try it"

THAT ENGINE.

Persons are inquiring frequently when
our engine will be on hand. The last
letter we had from Springfield stated
that it would be ready about the first of
February. 1t will take some time to get
it put up, and all the fixtures and attach
ments arranged to operate the presses.
By the way we have only about 300 of
the 1000 new subscribers which we called
for But we believe that the entire num-
Der can be obtained. We also notice, on
looking over our list. that there are still
some-a very few, old subscribers yet in
arrears. Now friends, it takes money to
get our new engine, and the pulleys,
bands, etc., will all cost money, in addi-
ton to the ordinary expenses of carrying
on the paper. Give US your aid, as you
have done heretofore, and we will give
you a paper of which every one in the
county may feel proud.

The Senate last week confirmed Hon
Morrison R. Waite for Chief Justice, no
one voting against him. Some eight or
nine Senators, and among them Senator
Summer did not vote
A few years ago Mr.. Waite was at this
place with Senator John Sherman, and
made political speech at the Court
House, and it was one of the finest legal
arguments upon the political questions
of the day that we ever heard.

To the Editor of the Standard:
A few weeks.ago I had the honor of
visiting your Institute Il say yours, for
do not reside in the county, and was re-
ceived with cordiality, which 1 shall not
soon forget.
During my short stay was often inter-
rogated as to my opinion of the Ins titute;
now if am INDUCED a little space l will
give it here.
In my opinion the Institute was a de-
cided success. | have attended Insti-
tutes at Lawrence and Gallia counties,
but yours was to me the most profitable
as well as interesting. II is my opinion
that in intelligence and energy the
teachers of Jackson county, are in ad.
vance of those of the adjoining counties
alluded to. l am forced to this conclu-
sion in spite of my sympathy
One of the commendable features of
your Institute was this, viz; That the ex-
ercises were conducted chiefly by the
home teachers. This is a step in the
right direction. l don't believe in pay.

| ty to those big guns" from abroad.
Besides, the difference between those
| elegant foreign lecturers is more imagin.
ary than real. They may have more
classical learning than the teachers ot
! District and Graded schools, but what oi
that? We do not want Academical in
struction in an Institute of this kind
The instruction impaired should chiefly
pertain to the Science of School Teach
ing These able lecturers from abroad
from the want of acquaintance with the
rural districts, shoot too high, and miss
the mark am satisfied that such mer
as Aleshire, Scott, Morgan, Harbargar
Fry, and many others, know vastly more
about the wants and needs of our country
teachers than many of the teachers o.
Academies and Colleges; and no one

The Sianese twins, Chang and Eng,
died last week at their home in North
Carolina. They were about 81 years of
age. They got married several years
ago, and had large families. Several of
wives are sisters. One of the twins had
been in feeble health since last fall, and
died rather suddenly. The other became
terribly excited, and raved for time,
then stupor came over him. and he
died in two hours after the death of his
brother.

To the Editor of the Standard
Having a little leisure l will write
few lines for your paper, in the hope that
| may say something that will interest
portion of your readers.
The Constitutional Convention is still
hard at work on the Judicial Article of
the Constitution. They have been work
ing very steady since the 9th inst, on
that Article, and have not completed it
yet Among those who have worked
faithfully during the consideration of
this, the most important part of the Con-
stitution, we mention the name of Henry
S. Neal, who is member of the judicial
Committee from the 7th District, he is al
ways at his post and has not missed a
vote on any question since the holidays.
Our President, Morrison R. Waite, who
has been called to exercise the functions
of the second Office in the government,
with the Convention), invited to the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday, that
he might receive the congratulations of
that body. When Mr.. Waite was con-
Quoted to the Hall of the Chamber, the
applause was loud and long An intro
ductory address was then read, to which
Mr. Waite replied as follows:
"MR. PRESIDENT AND MY FRIENDs-It was
written in the bond by which 1 bound
myself 10 come here to-day that speeches
should not be in order. Commercial
honor know to be the higher law gov
erning the gentlemen l see before me,
and know you will not permit me to
be the first to break over this rule estab-
lished for your guidance. l thank you,
gentlemen, for the kindness with which
you have received me-"
Appearances here. seem to indicate
that the panic is at an end, if we may
Judge from the increase, during the past
three weeks, of the amount of goods
handled by wholesale houses.
Yours truly,

We notice in the Macarthur Enquirer
an advertisement of D. H. Baldwin & Co.,
Cincinnati, dealers in pianos and organs.
1t occupies six inches across the entire
local page. If Bowen does not have bet
ter success than. we had with Baldwin,
he will find it losing business to adver-
tise for him. Our claim of $3.50 cost us
$500 attorneys fees to collect it, and
they said they dearly earned their money
dunning and running after Baldwin.

To the Editor of the Standard:
We notice statement in the Athens
Messenger to the effect that "The Federal
Creek Coal Co. have standing contract
with the jackson Furnaces for 5000
bushels of coal per day to run their Fur
naces.
We would be so loathe to in the least
tarnish the fame of the jackson county
coal for smelling purposes in the eyes of
strangers, that will here say, we know
nothing of any such contract existing, or
of the statement, knowing full well that
jackson county coal stands at the top OF
the ladder for iron making purposes.
We do not hesitate to give it the benefit
of the reputation already attained, and
wish them all the success in their gigan-
tic undertakings in the future.
