Senator Thurman'S Reelection.

The balloting for United States Sen
ator for full term of six Years begin
ming March 4, 1875, took place in the
OHIO Legislature yesterday, and resrlt
ed 10 a majority for MIR. Thurman in
each house. This is one of the best
fruits in the great Democratic revival
in the elections last fall. There is no
living public man 10 whom the Demo-
cratic party is so much indebted Cor lis

poets as to Senator Thurman. 1t was
chiefly owing TO his inf1exib1e steadi-
ness and vigor that tie Democracy Of
Ohio did not sink under discourage
meDt aud were not seduced inio giving
up tileir organization and joining new
parry. The result OF the campaign
vindicated his political sagacity. Tie
great Democratic victory won in Ohio
under his leadership revived the hopes,
courage, pride, aud energy of tue De-
mncracy in every part of the country,
and by emulating the worthy example
of their brethren in Ohio, they were
successful in so many States as to dis
miss from consideration and set at rest
all questions of opposing the Adminis-
tra,lon under any new banner or any
different organization. 1t was Senator
Thurman that lifted the Democracy
out of desponlency in their darkest
hour, and he has fairly earned the
honors which the party everywhere
leioices to see him wear. asa
AS Senator his integrity. sound
judg ment, candor, moderation, fran
ness, and patriotism, and his vigor and
readiness in debate, give him more in
fluence and consideration than are Of
ten enjoyed by the leader of a minor
| ity; and even his political opponent in
the Senate will congratulate him on
his re. election, for they all have COM
mon interest in the character and dig
nifty of that body. The Democracy of
the Uaiou are proud OF so able and
l,onored representative, for although
Ohio has the credit of electing him he
belongs to the Democracy ofthe whole
country. His Democratic fellow citi-
zens of New York send him their re-
spectfuI and cordial greetings on this
deserved renewal of confidence by his
own noble State. All honor to Ohio

to the house committee on war claims,
where they are to he examined and re-

three members. It is not probable
that an appropriation to pay the al
lowed claims will be made till late in
the session, when the third auditor of
the treausery will be required to state
the amount in each case before the
treasury can pay it. Payments will
be made by treasury drafts, wl,icI,
claimants must personally endorse.
The claims commissioners recently de
cidrd that they would take up for con-
siheration, at the beginning of May
next, such applications for the reopen
ing and reconsideration of disallowed
claims embraced in their three annual
reports to congress) us might be filed
by the end of April. They require
each application to be made out on a
blank form prepared by themselves to
insure uniformity and accuracy in the

JOHN JAMKiN's SERMON.

The minister said last night, says he,
Don't be afraid of givin'
Ifyour life amt nothin' to other folks,
Why, what's the use o. LYNN !"
And that's what / say to my wife, say |,
"There's Brown, the miserable sinner,
He'd sooner q beggar would starve than give
A cent toward buyin' dinner.
tell YOU our minister's prime he is,
But / couldn't quite determine,
When heard him a-givin' it right and left,
Just who was hit by the sermon.
OF course there couldn't be no mistake
When he talked of long-winded prayin',
For Peters and johnson they sot and scowled
At every word he was sayin'.
And the minister he went on to say,
''There's various kinds o. cheatln'
And religions as good for every day
As it is to bring to mcctin'.
don't think much of a man that gives
The loud Amens at my preachn',
And spends his time the followin' week
In cheatin and overrcachin'."

For man like Jones to swaller;
But | noticed he didn't open his mouth,
Not once after that to holler.
Hurrah, says /, for the minister
OF course | said It quiet
Give lis some MT of this open talk;
It's very refreshing diet.
The minister hit ZEN every time
And when he spoke of fashion,
And a-rigging out in bows and things,
As woman's ruling passion,
And A. comm to church to see the styles,
| couldn't help a winliin'
And a-nudgin' my wife, and says ], "Thats

And / guess it sot her thinkin'.
Saws l TO myself, "That sermon is pat;
But man is Il queer creation,
Aud Pm much afraid that most o the folks
Won't take the application.
Now if he had said q word about
NV personal mode O. sinnin',
I'd have gone to work to right myself,
And not set here a-grinnin'."
Just then the minister, says he,
"And now I've come to the tellcrs
Who've lost this shower by usin' their

As sort o moral umbrellas.

" Speed the PlOH.o
How Grass is Changed to Beef.

The OK is a ruminant-and all rum-
nants masticate their food the second
time, or rather, first swallow, and then, af-
ter some time, commence the process called
"ruminating," or popularity, "chewing the
cud." Let us trace this process in the COW.
The tongue first collects q mouthful of
grass into bundle, when it is nipped off
by the teeth of the lower jaw and the grasp
ing power of the muscular lips. She does
not pause to masticate now, but swallows
it "whole." 1t descends to the first sto-
mach, or runleR, which is only storehouse
in which the food is kept till wanted.
This rumen, "a first stomach, consists of
four small subdivisions, and the coat is
covered with thousands of little elevations,
which doubtless produce some chemical
change in the newly received food. From
their first stomach, the food passes into the
second, which is much smaller, and very
complex in its structure. It's covered with
multitude of small cells, from which it is
often called the honey comb bag. In thus
second stomach, the food takes the form of
rounded, compact masses, which are return
ed through the gullet to the mouth, by the
muscular action of the stomach. Now be-
gins the process of Eliminating, during
which she seems to enjoy the very perfection
ofanimal bliss. AS each portion of food is
properly mastcated, it passes direct from
the mouth to the third stomach. This is
accomplished by the closing of the tube
that leads to the first and second stomachs.
The third stomach is very small, and is
called the mdngplus, from the numerous
folds of which it is composed, arranged
like the leaves of book. Between these
active folds, the food rests short time,
when it is passed into the fourth or true
stomach, where the process of digestion is
completed, and the food passes into the
organization.

few moments and went up stairs. Present.

and slipping behind the door he suggested
that the other Miss Smith should tell Miss
Susan that he had gone. But it wasn't

didn't know whether to stay there or to
bolt, while Mary Jane looked as if she
would like TO drop into the cellar. But
Parker finally walked out, rushed to the
entry, seized his hat, shot down the front
steps and went home meditating upon the
emptiness Of human happiness, and the
uncertainty of Smiths. He has not called

Flowers as Disinfectant,

Professor Mantegazza has discovered
that ozone is developed by certain odor-
Gus flowers. A writer in Nature stat, 8
that most of the strong smelling vegetable
essences, such as mint, cloves, lavender,
lemon and cherry laurel, develop very
large quantity of ozone when in contact
with atmospheric oxygen in light. Flow
ers destitute of perfume do not develop it,
and generally the amount of ozone seems to
be in proportion to the strength of the per-
fumc emanated Professor Mantegazza
recommends that in marshy districts and in
places infested with noXious exhalations,
strong smelling flowers should be planted
around the house, in order that the ozone
emitted from them may exert its powerful
oxydizing influence. SO pleasant plan
for making malarious district salubrious

Don't BE TOO CRIrICAL.-Whatever You
do, never set up for a critic We don't
mean newspaper one, but in private life,
in the domestic circle, in society. 1t will
not do any one any good, and it will do
you harm-if you mind being called dlsa-
grecablc. Ifyou don't like any ones nose,
or object to any ones chin, don't put your
feelings into words. If any ones manners
n'tplease you, remember your own. Poo.
pie are not all made to suit one taste;
recollect that. Take things as you find
them, unless you can alter them. Even
dinner after it is swallowed cannot be made
any better Continual fault finding, con-
tnual criticism of the conduct of This one
and the speech Of that one, the dress of the
other and the opinions oft'other, will make
home the unhappicst place under the sun.
lfyou are never pleased with any one, no
one will ever be pleased with you. And if
it is known that you are hard to suit few
will take pains to suit you.
