Ohio in Peace and War.

The selection of Ex-Governor Denni-
son, of Ohio, as chief Commissioner OF
the District of Columbia, calls to mind
again the cotrolling power Of that State
in national affairs. The place of su-
premacy once occupied by Virginia is
now held by Ohio. Following ths.Rev-
olution the old Dominion held control
of the Presidency thirty-two years out
of thirty-six, and for twenty-four con-
secutive years under Jefferson, Madison
and Monroe. In other words Virginia
had four long terms and the other
twelve original States one short term
during the first five administrations.
Virginia held also Chief Justiceship, in
the person of the matchless Marshall,
from 1901 to 1884, a period of thirty
four years.
Besides this Washington's Cabinet
had two Virginians in it, Thomas JEFF
ferson and Edmund Randolph. vir-
ginia had the Vice President in the sec
ond Administrator and John Marshall
for brief time as Secretary of State.
In the third Administration Virginia
had the President, Jefferson, and the
Secretary of State, Madison. In the
fourth administration Virginia had the
President, Madison, and the Secretary
OF. State, Monroe, afterward Secretary
Of War, who was also the head of the
fifth Administration.
At this period the President of the
United States, the General, Lieutenant
General, and senior Major General of
the army are natives of Ohio. The
present Chief Justice, and one Associ-
ate Justice of the Supreme Court of the
U. S. belongs to Ohio,
One Cabinet position, two first-elass
missions-the mission to England and
that of Japan--are filled by Ohio men
Besides this array an incredible number
of Governors of Territories, consuls and
ether important national offices are
credited to Ohio. But the New Domin-
ion has as able, perhaps ables, men now
in private life than Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan, Mcdowell, Waite, Swayne,
LELAND, Schneck and Bingham. Among
these may be named Samuel Shellabar-
ger, Rufus P. Ranny, ex Governors
Cox, Hayes and Noyes, Valentine B.
Horton, Chauncy N. Olds, Fred Has
saurek, B. F. Wade and George H. PEN
dleton. The editors of the Atlantic
Monthly and the Tribune and the dis
sculptor, Quincy Ward, are
also Ohio men. We shall not attempt
to account for the prodigal prodution in
this commonwealth of strong men.
Perhaps the continued maintenance of
order and the repute of the original
New England, Virginia ond Pennsyl-
vania stock have had something to do
in the formation of character.

Origin of the Fighting Editor.

The John Bull newspaper edited by
Theodore Hook, frequently indulged in
offensive personalities in remarking on
the character and conduct of public
men. A military hero, who would per-
sist in placing himself conspicuosly be-
fore the worlds gaze, received copious
share of what he considered malignant
and libel Gus abuse in the columns of
said newspaper, and determined upon
aving revenge. An officer and gen.
rfeman- could -aee-dencsu hfmscff by
calling out hireling scribbler for hon
orable satisfaction. No. He would
horsewhip the miscreant in his den
the bull would be taken by the horns.
Donning his uniform and arming him
self with huge whip, he called at the
office of the paper, and, scarcely conceal
ing his agitation, inquired for the editor
He was invited by the clerk to take a
seat in the room. He complied, and
was kept waiting while the clerk, who
recognized the visitor, ran up stairs and
informed the editorial responsibility of
his name aud evident purpose. After
an aggravated delay, which served to
considerably increase the distemper of
the officer the door opened, and coarse,
roug h-looking man, over six feet In
height, with proportionate breadth of
shoulder, and armed with bludgcon, en-
tered the room.
Walking ap to the surprised anu
angry visitor, he said, in u voice of
thunder:
care you the chap that wants to see
me!"
"You? No! | want to see the editor
of the paper
"That's me; Pm the VERY feller."
| "There must be some mistake"
"Not morsel. Pm the head hitter
of this Bull" said the fellow, bringing
the knobbed end of his bludgeon In
fearful proximity to the officers caput.
"You the editors Impossible"

To the Editor OF TIE CARBON ADVOCATE:
SIR,-In pursuance with my promise,
will endeavor to give you brief des-
cription of my travel to old North York
county. After leaving Slatington, no
thing occurred to ruffle the general
equaninity Of temper, until reaching
Allentown and boarding the train for
Harrisburg, when the ill-breeding and
pomposity of subaltern were almost
sufficient to upset that equilibrium so
necessary to gentlemen. 1t Is not de-
sirable to describe all the towns passed
through, but would call attention to
the beautifully situated town of Ship
pensburg, with its many elegant and
costly buildings; its we'll shaded streets; /;
its iron-ore hound surroundings, and its
Normal School, may yet become histor-
ic, not only for being the oldest town
west of the broad Susquehanna, and the
former county seat of the Cumberland,
This town has a noble future before it,
if the inhabitants only feel the response
billty, and not only feel, but act on that
feeling, hold forth the hand of plenty
in the shape of greenbacks, to assist in
developing to the fullest extent the vast
ore beds in its vicinity.
l wended my way to the Normal
School building, ON Wednesday morn
ing, synopsis of that days proceed
ings is appended;
Institute opened at lO:15, by L. H.
Eaton leading in prayer. Song by a
quartette of gentlemen-greeted by q
round of applause.
A resolution was read by Prof. Allen,
and after discussion by Profs. Brooks,
Hays, Allen and others was withdrawn.
Vocal Culture in our Public Schools,
was discussed by Prof. Shoemaker. His
mastery manner of disposing of this
important subject would be much less
ened by attempting to give synopsis.
Suffice it to say, the able production
was truly appreciated by the large and
intelligent audience.
Prof. Lucky being called away, Rev.
Hays presided, and introduced Miss
Babbitt, who favored the audience with
a song, which she rendered in the most
soul-inspiring strains.
G. f. Hines, PHI. D., of Dickinson
College, Carlisle, then read a paper on
"Relations of Natural Science to Popu-
lar Education" As this address will
be published in the School Journal, /
will not attempt to give any extracts.

Owen Lynch, q miner from Jeanes-
vile, while here on visit to some of
his friends imDibed too much of that
which is instrumental in destroying so
many. In attempting to get on the
6:40 train, after it had started, on Sa-
turday night last, he fell and had his
left leg so badly mashed that amputa-
tion became necessary, which was done
by Drs. Tweedle and Person, of this
place. The unfortunate man was re-

Narrow Escape.

Narrow Escape.
On Saturday evening about O'Clock
young man hailing from this place
was standing on the platform atSlating-
ton when coal train passed up. He
intended to board the train but, fortu--
nately or unfortunately, was taken with
a fit as he was leaving the platform and
fell on the down track, gashing his face
very much. Some men then carried
him on the platform where he lay some
time. He finally got up and walked
about with much difficulty. When ask
ed to wash his face he denied all knowl-
edge of his falland refused to wash. He
came to this place on the 9 P. NJ. train.
His name is not known.

Hook and Ladder Co.

A fire company is now in process of
formation in this borough. A number
of our citizens have already placed their
names upon the list of members, and
any others who desire to join can now
do so by making application to Mr.. G..
T. Horn or at this Office. 1t isimportant
that movement be made in this direc-
tion, and it is thought that Hook and
Ladder Co. with a bucket brigade at
tached is the most feasible. Now let
our citizens rally for the formation of
of this company.
