our factorie es and furnaces were filled with la
this talk among the Republicans that when the
Democratic party gets into power, we will have

The country was never more prosperous than

masses. The 1aborer could then buy with dol
the paper trash now called money. In the
haIcyon days of Democracy we had no internal
public expense, and honesty and Integrity was
the rule. The Postmaster of New York was a
defaulter to the amount of $4,000 and 1t created
a great stir. In these latter days the postofnce,

Caution

From my own observation and expert
ence for three-score years, 1 have. come
to the following conclusion viz: The
most fruitful source of failure in business
pursuits and the various avocations in
life is, in aiming to do too much. l heard
good Minister say at the conclusion of a
revival meeting, about thirty years ago,
where much apparent good had been ac-
complished, that he took the Bible, and
the Bible only, for his text. A sermon
two hours in length ensued, very unsatis-
factory to the speaker, and mortifying to
the audience. Many heads were bowed !;
the same lesson should not be twice
learned. If there be any exception to
the general rule to which allusion has
been made, suppose it would include
the legal profession. The lawyer by COM
mon consent, may make a plea in favor
of his client, two hours or more in length.
They may exhaust everything terrestrial
and the celestial bountifully drawn upon,
and the audience do not grow weary,
and the effort most generally highly ap-
plauded. But the man outside the pro-
fession of law who attempts to discourse
on any given subject, before an in+elli
gent audience, no matter how humble
his position in life, or modest his aspira-
tions, unless due time for reflection ano
preparation. his effort will be, confusion
entanglement, and utter failure will be
the result. And it is right that it should
be so. j. S. REASONER.

THE LAST TALK.

l never like to see country papers con-
stantly dunning their subscribers. 1t
looks humiliating to both parties, and
now propose to have a few words with
my subscribers, and then say no more
upon this subject during the present
year
Only one month of this year remains.
At the end of this month l will have to
make many payments, some of them
quite heavy ones. Rent, taxes, store
bills-all must be paid then There is
due me on subscriptions alone, over one
thousand dollars, all in sums from seven
dollars down. A number of my subscri-
bers have written to me not to stop their
paper, as they would pay soon. | know
money is scarce; but you can send me
ifty cents, and that will run your paper
iour months longer. / am devoting all
my time and labor to this work, to give
you good paper, many times working
hard while you are at rest. The STAN
DARD will compare very favorably with
any country paper in the United States,
as to quantity and quality of reading
and also as to price. No other paper of
the same size can be had for $3.50, and
postage paid.
One thousand of you are in arrears.
If each one would pay for four months,
only fifty cents, it would amount to $500,
sum sufficient to pay all my bills at the
end of the year
You may wonder what 1 propose to do
about it, if you do not pay. am opposed
to all laws compelling the collection OF
debts; but all my creditors may not be oi
the same opinion. So, if you do not pay
during the present month, l will first
stop your paper, then send your account
to ajustice of the peace If you beat me
on execution, then l will report the case
as matter in which the public have an
interest
Now, keep in a good humor, look al
the label on your paper, send me what
you owe, and trife in advance, and all
will be lovely. Yours,
DAVIS MACKLEY.

1t is cheerful report, that of Postmaster Cen
eral Jewell. This is the line that is most inter-
esting "leaving deficiency to be appropriated
out of the General Treasury OF, ST Sl5, ,S7S" That

eight millions, all the newspapers should have
free transportation, in order ''to promote the
circulation of Intelligence" which the rural
ernment.-Ci Cincinnati Commercial.
OF course, writing up in your attic
room, after midnight, you have not sense
enough to know that during the time
that deficiency of nearly eight millions
was arising, the country newspapers were
not dead-headed, but paid heavy rate of
postage 1t was the city papers that
sneaked their way by express, outside of
the mails, and thus swindled the Post
Office Department. The city papers all
declared that when the Franking Privi-
lege was abolished, and the country pa
pers were taxed ten per cent by way of
postage, the Department could pay its
way. The country papers knew better,
and said so. We have the charity to
think no evil of you. 1t was not cussed
ness; it was ignorance. You really know
no better. And you will never learn. Il

sters described by Sinbad, the Sailor.
Ophir has hearth made of the celebrat-
ed Webster fire brick 1t is the first
hearth of fire brick, think, ever used
in charcoal furnace, and has been an
experiment. 1t was subjected to a ter
rible test, when the furnace first started,
and chilled; but it stood it as well as a
stone hearth could have done. Mr..
Hoop told me that there could be no
doubt that it would last until the blast
should be completed. If this prove
true, it will likely cause all the charcoal
furnaces to use the fire brick instead of
stone, being so much cheaper and more
convenient.
They now intend to make the blast
next year with stone coal They have
commenced driving an entry on the bank
about thirty yards from the top of the
furnace stack, and on a level with it.
They have got into the hill few yards,
and the coal is getting quite good. Mr..
Hoop is positive that this is the Jackson
shaft coal. as it has every appearance, SC
| far, of that celebrated coal. l made q
little calculation of the distance, the dip
to the south east, and the position of the
two veins, and l am satisfied that it il
the same coal. Mr.. Hoop informed me
that the Anthony vein lies higher up il
the hill, and is quite convenient to the
furnace. This Anthony vein is that Sc
highly praised by Prof. Andrews, and ii
evidently the great Wellston, Milton
Furnace and Austin coal With all thest
natural advantages, if the iron busines
must 60 down, Ophir will be among tn
very last to strike her colors.
If the new railroad should be made oil
the survey up Salt creek, it would com
within half a mile of Ophir, at the moutl
of Martins run, all the way level, and
switch could be run up to the furnace a
small cost. At the mouth of Buffal
Skull, couple of miles farther up tn
creek, would be the great depot for a

Suppose the narrow gauge railroad
should be built. and suppose iron should
come up to $45 to $47 per ton for hot
blast, and $57 to $50 Tor cold blast char
coal iron, as it sold some two or three
wears ago. What then would be the con-
dition and business of Jackson county?
There is now iron enough unsold in Jack
son county to bring a million and half
of dollars, at the above prices. There are
now 10 furnaces completed in the coun-
ty, which could be put in blast in one
month These furnaces would produce
an average of II tons per day, or 228 tons
in the aggregate. This iron, at $50 per
ton, would bring into the county $ll 400
per day, or about four millions of dollars
per year. And then, with two railroads,
and fair price for iron, the number of
furnaces would be doubled in less than
five years. We have taken no account of
the coal trade in the above estimate. The
millions of bushels of coal sold would
nearly, if not altogether, double the
above estimates. The future wealth OF
jackson county is SO immense that we
fear to speak of it as it will be developed
hereafter, for fear our estimates may be
considered visionary.

The Dayton & Southeastern Railrc ,ad from
Dayton, Ohio, to the coal fields IF Jackson
county, is being worked up by me cities and
towns along the proposed route onite Vigorous
ly meetings of citizens have 'peen held in Chill
licothe, Jackson, washington g. H. and other
places, and a considerable enthusiasm exhib-
ited The word goes Gut that the citizens along
tne route must depend upon their own resources

willing 70 shoulder the expense. We think it a
the operators of the road and property holders
along It's proposed route. One of the best pay
ing railroads in Ohio is the Hooking Valley
which was built to develop the coal in that part
OF the state. If the Day ton road is built to
Jackson it will not be long before it will be ex-
tended to Ironton, running into the heart of
this mineral section. We hope those who are
working up the enterprise will be successful
h'onton Journal.
Jackson county is in a most happy
local position. We want the road from
Dayton to this point first. That part of
the road will be made. Then we want
four branches from Jackson, like the ex-
tended fingers of the hand. One will
run to Portsmouth, one to Ironton, one
to Gallipolis, and one to Pomeroy The
local freights in minerals alone, will make
paying roads on all of these branches.

The Circleville Union speaking of the
article which appeared some time ago in
the Hooking Sentinel, says:
Appropos of the stand taken by the Sentinel,
and n proof of the serious weight of its decla-
rations that the Democratic party, ifre-instated
in the nation, will resolve the African race in
this country back to its status before the rebel
lion, the late decision of the Supreme Court of
Indiana happens. Last Tuesday, in a case ap-
pealed from central county, the said court
Sitting in 1npianapolfs) held
HThat colored children had rights to the
common schools of the State, provided under
the constitution for white children. The schools
are provided for the citizens of the State, and
at the time of the adoption of the Constitution,
only whites were citizens. The Court held that
the Fourteenth Amendment does not apply to
the case"
From these manifestations, it would seem
that the mission of the Republican party is not
yet quite ended. If it was OIL ganized, as often
asserted, to secure the ends of equal and exact
justice to all persons, without regard to race,
color or previous condition, it would seem in
cumbent upon Republicans to arouse as unit
and prevent reaction, in regard to an import
ant portion of its work.
What we most fear is, that there is a
reaction in the Republican party. 1t is
in the condition of community which
has experienced great religious revival
When the reaction comes, it finds thai
community in much worse condition
than it was before.

If we were so disposed, we could fill
our paper each and every week with ac-
counts of murders caused by whisky.
But it would do no good. Drunkenness
would go right on, increasing from year
to year We will this week give one case
as reported in the N. Y. Tribune. 1t is a
sample of what may be seen almost daily
in the papers.
at No. 652 washington street, was found on the
sidewalk near his dwelling, about midnight on
Saturday, by Officer Vanarsdale of the Ninth
Precinct, with his nose broken and a bruise on
his forehead, evidently inflicted by some blunt
tai, where he died about 2 p. m, unable to give
any account of how he received his injuries.
Capt. Kennedy, who is in command of the
and O'Neil to make strict inquiry into the
day afterno DON John Gibbons, a saloon Keeper,
at No. 6S5 Washington street, in whose place
652 Washington street, Martin Joyce of No. 1853
Perry street, and William H. Pertain of No.
1877 Perry street, all of whom were present in
the LIQUOR saloon when Conerty was seen there.
They declared persistently that they knew
nothing of the manner of Conerty's death, and
were detained until the Coroner could take ac-
ton in the matter. During the afternoon Dep
uty-Coroner Marsh made post-mortem exam
ination of the body, and found that death had
resulted from compression Of the brain pro-
eied a jury last evening, viewed the body, and
proceeded to the station, where he informally
examined the witnesses there held. When
Pertain was sworn, he said he knew how the
killing occurred, and gave in substance the fol-
lowing account: He was in Gibbons saloon
about ll:30 p. on Saturday, all the
others being also present, and Conerty with
| them. When liquor had been partaken of
somewhat freely, argument on the long
shoremens strike ensued From argument the
| four or five men soon came to blows, and were
put out by Gibbons, but they resumed the fight
| in the street directly in front OF the saloon.
Pierton did not take part In the nght, but
watched It from the doorway. He saw two
men clinch and fall under a truck near the side
walk, and while they were fighting there, an
other man named George w. Murray, cart
man, residing at No. % Renwick street, whom
Pertain knew, and who had been asleep on a
table in the saloon during the controversy,
went to the truck, drew forth a cart, rung, and
struck the undermost man a heavy blow across
the forehead. He then put the rung back in Its
place, and walked away, all the crowd dispers-
ing soon afterward. The man whom he had
struck was allowed to remain unattended. On
this statement Coroner Woltman directed the
Captain to have Murray found up, and he was
arrested at Jefferson Market, where he had
been arraigned for drunkenness. He was lock-
ed up in the station, and the Coroner held all
the witnesses for their appearance at the In
| quest.

The infection of the rebel-Democratic re-ac-
ton is beginning to spread. Georgia, like
Texas, has scheme to throw all offending
blacks into virtual slavery, by consigning them
to chain-gangs, or hiring them out OF course,
when the law is fairly in working order, all
but the most subservtent freedmen, will be
found guilty of something that will bring them
within the purview of the law. There is
abundant need for watching the movements of
the Southern Cincinnati Gazette.
This reaction will go right along, in
proportion to the successes of the Demo
cratic party. The Democratic majorities

1t would surely be a most agreeable
surprise to the people of jackson county,
if the great mineral railroad through the
rich ag ricultural region west of US, should
be constructed. We had but little faith
in railroad enterprises at this time, but
there is an earnestness along the line
that evidently means business. We go
to press before we hear the result of the
meeting at Chillicothe on Tuesday of this
week, but from the means used to get up
great meeting, we think something
definite will be done. After the meeting

Mr.. r. T. Collls, of the Webster Fire
Brick Works, was in town last week. He
informed us that the fire brick made at
Webster is used for hearths at nearly all
the furnaces in Jackson, and that it has
given universal satisfaction. Mr.. Coils
says he can refer to the founders at all
of these furnaces to corroborate his state
ment that the Webster fire brick is pc
culiarly well adapted for use in furnaces,
standing the intense heat for many
months, and in some cases much over a
year He has no doubt that this fire
brick will eventually supersede the old
stone hearth. 1t is very much cheaper,
will last longer, and there is no reason
why it should not come into general use
AS to its use in charcoal furnaces we refer
to an article where we speak of Ophir

The Columbus Gazette has an editorial
denying that there is any such thing as
spiritualism, but in the same article it
says:
We ourself knew of a delicate girl to place her
hand lightly upon table on which was seated
a large woman, who dared to doubt the power
of the "medium," and had resolved to test 1t;
and the table, woman and all, followed the girl
through the door out in the hall, and brought
up with such force against the wall as to break
the table, the woman barely escaping injury.
This we know for fact. There are thousands
like them. 1t is magnetism, or odylic force,
and purely physical. Spirits can benefit the
world in any way they see fit, of course; but
we don't think they do 1t in this way.
That was nothing in the world but the
trick of juggler. That table was placed
upon rollers, or pulled by a wire, or
moved by some other mechanical force,
which would have appeared exceedingly
simple, when explained. Your "odylic
force is just as silly as spiritualism.
