DELuDED.

Some of the Reform newspapers OF
Kansas are rejoicing over the Democrat
ic successes in Ohio and Indiana. 1t be
gins TO look as if the Reform organizes
ton was making an easy transition inio
Democracy. We are of the opinion
that many persons who joined in the Re
form movement did it with the supposi-
ton that Democracy was in its grave
and that they were engaged in the
work of founding an entirely new and
distinct political party. The word Dem
ocracy was as a stencil to their nostrils,
and they would much rather endure the
the oils" of Republicanism than in any
way give aid or comfort to the party
which had proved itself unworthy of fur
Their confidence and continuance in
power. Taking it for granted that
Democracy had been consigned TO an
unhonorcd grave and was thing Of the
past, they made their venture in new
party making. But now they hear of
Democratic success. There is not a
word Of Reform success. They hear of
States going Democratic by large
increased majorities, but what consola-
ton do the they gain by that? They
find Office hungry Democrats coming in
to power who will give "fodder" only to
Democrats. Everything is Democratic,
and they awake to find that they have
been working only to build up Democ-
racy. Hardly before they knew it, they
were working steadily in the harness
with the Democrats whom they once so
despiscd. 1t remains for slch Reform
ers TO take the back tack and reioin
those whom they so thoughtlessly de-
serted, rather than remain with an or
ganizaiion which they must heartily de-
spise - the bones, blood and flesh Of
which are the same as they were before
the war.

about Trees.

Mr.. EDITOR People buy trees OF
reddlcrs year after year and do not sue,
coed ir raising an orchard. Why is it
Let them buy in Bavaria, and on Gyp.
sum Creek, better quality of trees ior
from ono-half to two-thirds Of the money
and they will see why it is. Whea trees
are brought IN from the East, they are
always half dead, and often have seen
loads SO into the county, all dead. Dead
trees cannot be restored, and those that
arc about to die live just long enough to
disgust man. The same holds good
with hedge. | have been planting trees
here for four years, and find that my
last years dry season. trees and hedge
did the best. Why? because / bought
the trees at home and they were alive
when set them out, and | cultivated
them well. This every man should
know, and stop sending money away
from home for dead trees, these hard
times. Ar HOME.

The ECLIPSE OF the Noon,

Mr.. {. y. Hitler of this place kindly
furnishes US with the following account
and figures concerning the total eclipse
of the Moon, which takes place next
Saturday, and which will be visible here:
OF the four eclipses occurring during
the present year we are only To be favor
cd with the sight of one. The hand
some annular eclipse of last week was
seen on the eastern continent but not on
the western. THE Moon will be to-
tally eclipsed on Saturday the 2ilh, and
this will be visible here. Astronomers
measure the extent of an eclipse by dig
disabling the Moons diameter IL dig
its; as carpenters measure by a l2-inch
rule. The shadow OF this eclipse meas

The Moons disk measures II digits, will
cause a total observation of the Moon,
(while the shadow passes) of about halt
an hour. An eclipse of the Moon, rs
every one knows, is caused by the earth's
shadow falling on the Noon while the
Sun and Earth are all in straight lire
but the large belt formed by the atmos-

LAST WEEKS ELECTIONS.

The elections last week Tuesday re-
suited very badly for the Republicans in
Ohio and Indiana, but quite iavorahly for
them in Iowa, Nebraska and Dakotah.
In Ohio the Democrats have elected
their State ticket by majorlties ranging
from $4,000 to 10000. The Congrcssion-
al delegation will stand: Democrats, Is;
Republicans, Z. In Indiana, the Demo
cratic State ticket Yves elected by major
itics ranging from 10000 to $4,000.
The Congressional delegation will stand ::
Democrats, s {; Republicans, 5. In Iowa
the entire Republican State ticket isclect-
eddy majorities reported at 10000. Last
year the Republican strength was only
about one-half what is reported now.
The Republican nominees for Congress
-nine in mum ber-are al elected. In
Nebraska the Republicans elected their
candidates for State officers by "a larger
majority than they ever before secured,
and also gave larger majority for their
candidates for Congressional representa-
tive than they ever gave before. In
Dakot the Repub !ican nominee for
delegate in Congress received 10 ma
jority. In the election two years ago
the Democratic nominee for delegate
was elected by 400 majority.

1t seems TO me That ! read all kinds

is to dissolve sugar of lead. bit the
size OF bazelnut, in halt teacup OF
sweet milk or warm water. Apply warm
as can be borne easily with soft, linty
piece Of linen rag. Three or tour appli.
cations are sufficient 10 effect a cure. II
the poison is on the face and nearing the
eyes or mouth, this astringent wash may
be constantly applied.
1t is marvellous cure, and by watch
ing closely one can see the fevered bis
tiers turn from Witty TO yellow during
the application. This remedy for ivy
poison should prevent a great deal OF
suffering. 1t is well where n member OF
family is easily poisoned, TO keep su-
gar OF lead in the house all the time. Let
it be labeled and kept where il can be
found the moment it is wanted. Keep
it well wrapped up that it may not lose
its strength.

Toledo Artificial Marble works.

Tothose erecting, or about to erect private
residences-local organizations contemplating
public structures-builders, contractors archi-
tects, &c we have never found so important
an enterprise as the above, which has recsnt-
ly opened out under the propristorship of T.
S. BR1DeNAN & Co., and which works and
show rooms are located in the basement Of
Csmpbell's Block, corner of 81. CLAIs and
JEFFERSON streets. We recently visited the
establishment and We were kindly shown over
by Mr. Bridgnan, hence we know, full well,
whereof We speak. The key TO this business
is to produce the most costly and elegant de-
signs IN mantels, furniture tops, wainscotings,
base boards, and general decorations for walls
and floors, in absolute perfect representation
of French marbles, granite or any other stone,
as also tiles, &c, in most instances, at less
than one-third the ordinary cost Of the Renu-
inc articles. Similar works are in existence
in Rochester, Springfield and New Jersey, &C,
and wherever located they have not only as
tonished beyond measure bat prospered i'm
measurably. In proof Of this a single call on
@essrs. Bridgmnn & Co., will amply convince
the most skeptical. Their show room abounds
with really fascinating and substantial de-
signs in mantles, sufficiently rich to adorn the
most palatial residences, and yet submitted at
prices within the reach of any one building.
Table tops and ornam entail tiling for hearths
or floors are also largely represented and en-
chant the eye with unbounded admiration |
which is only intensified on making compari- !
son with the genuine material so faithfully |
initiated. The process is simple, and the in
gradients used to produce solidity are Of the
most durable character-hydraulic cement Of
the finest description being largely imported
into it. 1t Is, with more than an ordinary de-
gree Of pleasure, our privilege to first pub
lically introduce SO important an adjunct of
Toledo trade to the confidence and early at
iention of the public, feeling fully satisGed
here is an abundant prospect in store for so
desirable and commendable an enterprise

EXCURSION.

Farmers and capitalists taking an interest
in the prosperous west have now a splendid
opportunity of seeing through that wonderful
region for the merest outlay. Who has not
read of and longed to view the famous Kan
sas Valley-a district where land is now be-
ing submitted within the means of every one,
and where settlers are turning in with the
most desirable prospects of success. Messrs.
KAHLo 81 GROVE, Of 25S Summit street, To-
ledo, are agents for lands in this region, and
have made arrangements for q cheap excur-
sion, November Sd, by T. w. & ". r. R.,
from Toledo to Atchisou. Topeka and Ssnte
Fe, or through to Colorado and return for
one and oneJitth rate round trip FIRST CLASS,
the tickets being available for 60 days. Ex-
cursionists may therefore lay themselves out
for hunting to their "heart's delight" while
viewing that inviting district. Messrs. KAH-
10 q GROVE are disposing Of tickets rapidly
and as the time is short, early application
to them is highly necessary to secure the
same. Such an opportunity may not again
present itself for a lengthed time and those
who desire to see the west and indulge q
cheap ride should not by any means miss so
valuable a chance.
