EB- A gain of seven Democratic Con
gressmen in Ohio, six in Indiana, and
one in West Virginia. Is a pretty fair be-
ginning for the fall elections. Down goes
the twO-thirds Republican majority in
the House. The November elections
may knock the Republican majority in
the House clear out of existence Let
the good work go on.

EB- The October elections have great
influence in fixing the floating vote. OF
late years it has been the custom to say:
AS Pennsylvania goes, SO goes the Union.
But Pennsylvania has dropped out of the
October rOll-caIl, and Ohio naturally
takes her place as the political keystone.
Ohio and Indiana, in unison, are enough
to enthuse the least sanguine.

A Good Decision.

A young man entered the barroom of a
village tavern, and called for drink. No
said the landlord "you have had deliri-
UNI tremens once, and cannot sell you any
more" He stepped aside to make room for
a couple Of young men who had just enter
ed and the landlord waited upon them very
politely. The other had stood by silently
and sullen, and when they finished, he
walked up to the landlord, and thus ad-
dressed him ; "Six years ago. at their age,

The Sea Mouse.

The sea-mouse is one Of the prettiest
creatures that lives under the waters. 1t
sparkles like diamond, and is radiant with
all the colors of the rainbow, although it
lives in the mud at the bottom of the ocean.
1t should not be called mouse, for it
is larger than big rat. 1t is covered with
scales that move up as it breathes, and
glitter like gold shining through focky
down from which fine silky bristles wave
that constantly change from one brilliant
tint into another, so that, as Cuvier, the
great naturalist, says, the plumage on the
humming bird is not more beautiful Sea
mice are sometimes thrown up ON the
beach by storms.

Doctor. He has Done 1t.

A physician tells the following story, not
without some regret on his part, for the adj
vice given:
GA Woodworking woman had a drunken
husband, who, when partly sober, would
get the blues, and endeavor to destroy him
self by taking laudanum, Twice did the
wife ascertain that he had swallowed the
destructive drug, and twice did the doctor
restore him. Upon the second restoration,
the doctor addressed him as follows:
"You good-for-nothing scoundrel, you
don't want to kill yourself, you merely
want to annoy your wife and me. If you
want to kill yourself, why don't you cut
your throat and put an end to the matter p
"Well away went the doctor, and
thought no more of his patient, until, some
weeks after, he was awakened from sound
nap by the tinkling of his night-bell He
put his head out Of the window, and in
quired-
"'What's the matter ?''
"'Doctor, he has done it," was the re-
ply.
"'Done what?
"'John has taken your advice

fear until she saw Silas Daggett's face.
That proved his guilt so conclusively that
doubt was no longer possible.
He made no resistance, and when the
coat was opened the bonds and bank notes
which he had stolen from himself were dis
covered. c-f.a
The letter by means of which Syl had
made her discovery was found to have
come from a friend of Silas, of whom
he had asked counsel with regard to ruin
ing Will, and then securing Deacon Rank
in's heiress.

ously. "Why,it would ruin me / should

don't agree to that why, shall feel il

ever had, we would have to 60 back to the

A BRILLIANT WEDDING PARTY,

\ gathering of the Old settlcrs-A joyou, In
terchanise of greetings Showers of hearty
congratu lations.
! The mansion of one Of our most worthy fam
ilics was made the center of unusual attraction
on Wednesday evening Sept I'd, by the issuing OF
invitations to the nuptials of Mr. Richard C.Jor-
dan, cashier of the National City Bank, and Miss
Susie, the second daughter OF John and Maria
Manley
The young couple have had an acquaintance OF
many years Mr. Jordan having once been in the
employ of Mr. Marley and also partner in the
firm of j. Manley II Co.
Mr. and Mrs. Manley are among our oldest cit
liens, and on this occasion, and in keeping with
their generous hospitality, had provided for the
reunion of many of the old and true friends of
many years, and with the elite among the younger
portion Of society.
The marriage was solcmnizcd by the fermer
pastor of the family, the Rev. NJ. X. whittleScy,
now ofJacksonyillc, Illinois, who, with his lady,
Mrs. W., came to attend the festivities, in the
family where they have often been guests in the
last twcnty-scycn wears.
The ceremony was very brief, beautiful and
impressive. The honest good will of the guests
showered beautiful benedictons on the newly
welded pair while very scryiceablc and costly
presents from intimate friends were set forth rs
lasting mcmcntocs Of true regard.
| Tn toilets OF the ladies were very rich ana
elaborate. The tables of the host were amply
provided, and beautifully adorned. Mr. Denhard's
band dscoursed eXhierating music, to which the
young and happy responded ever and anon, by
dancing, alike easy, elegant and refreshing
Life does not seem wholly in vain, or labor and
toll mere frutless drudgery, when, after years OF
honorable living one may, in such home, and
in such society, give forth children of the nobles'
character, cultured, refined, and clustering with
christian graccs, to consummac Il marriage
union with the cordial good wishes Of such Il
company Us was gathered there.
| The company separated at an carly morning
] hour, with not one untOward incident to mar q
rare and happy era in these lives of ours.

some of my experience and reflections as

State Grange not Immediately wanted, and
as banks are no more secure than individuals
to deposit with, although their circulation is
secured by government bonds, thought il
best to buy bonds. 1t took eleven hundred

grangers' money to buy one thousands dol

dollars in government bonds, there deposits
them with the treasurer of the United states

owned by the United States and territories is
mortgaged for the faithful payment of both
interest and principal, and gets ninety thous-
and Dollars to take home TO run his bank
with and lend to his neighbors at ten per
cent interest taken out of the money lent on
thirty, sixty or ninety days. So he leaves

richer man than when he entered, having
two hundred thousand dollars upon which he
will draw interest, getting ten per cent. on
the money loaded at his bank, and the secre-
tary of the Treasury pays him six per cent.

GRAPEs-The experience of the last three or
four years has shown that there is no fruit crop
that can be cultivated around Ottawa with great
er and more certain yield and profit than Con
cord grapes. We had occasion last year 10 refer
to the abundant crop Of Mr.. Netf, at his vineyard
mile and half northwest Of Ottawa, and this
ar, in spite of the great drought his crop is a
third lar. err than year ago From seven acres
OF ground he VIII pick some sixteen tons Of
grapes. We regret that, in spite of the rigid
laws against fruit stealing, Mr.. Netf finds it
necessary to watch his vineyard ut night against
depredatons, which he does in an ingenious way
of his own that thieves will find excessively I'M
pleasant.
Mr.. Elias Hathaway, at the West Ottawa Nur-
scrv, has about two acres of Concords, which
also yield quite abundhnty though narrow
strip through the center was hurt by the scorcE-
ing winds of early August. Mr.. H. has also a
splendid show for CAtawbas, which are hcgning
to ripcn.
There are three or four other vineyards o.
Concords in this vicinity, all Of which have uni
formly yielded well and all the grapes raised
thus far have found ready market At 'Hir prices,
ranging from to II cts. per Id.
