CLASSIC GAELIo.-The following au-
thentic anecdote shows very clearly the
benefits which knowledge of Gaelic
can confer under peculiarly distressing
circumstances A clergyman of the
Church of Scotland, who was possessed
of fund of dry humor, occupied ru-
raj parish at Perthshire, bordering on the
Highland district. He took much inter-
est in the progress Of a Highland student
and aided him as much as he could in
his studies, preparatory to getting license
from a presbytery. One thing, however,
he was deficient in, and that thing was
indispensable. Time wore ON and the
day of trial approached. Both minister
and student were much exercised as to
how they were to overcome the difficulty.
Neither knew anything of Hebrew, and
how the young man was to meet the rev.
erend court without it sorely puzzled
them both. At last the clergyman saw
his way clear, as If by inspiration. "Iake
your Gaelic Bible" he said, sand when
you are asked to read Hebrew, 60 on
reading from it," But will they not
find me out ?" No fear of that; Just
do as | tell you" The day came, the
trial proceeded, and everything passed
off satisfactorily. The young man was
requested to read Hebrew, and, with fear
and trembling, he drew forth his Gaelic
Bible and proceeded to read and trans
late. After he had gone on thus short
time, "That will do" said the modera-
tor; what do you say, brethren 2" OF
course every reverend brother compli-
mented the young man on his familiar
acquaintance with Hebrew. His rever-
end friend said nothing, and the candi-
date received license to preach.

Husband and Wife.

Preserve sacredly the privacies Of your
house, your marriage state and your
hearts. Let not father or mother, broth.
er or sister. nor any third person ever
presume to come in between you two, to
share the joys or SORROWS that belong to
you alone, to you two. With Gods help
build your own quiet world, not allow
ing the dearest earthly friend to be the
confidant of aught that concerns your
domestic peace. Let moments Of alien
alton (if they occur) be healed and for
gotten at once. Never-no, never
speak Of it outside, but each to the other
confess, and all will come right. Never
let the morrow's sun find you still at va
rance. Renew or review the vow at all
temptations-it will do you both good.
And thereby your souls will grow togeth.

Information Wanted.

The Wilmington Republican of
Oct. 22d says:
Mrs. Mary Babb, living on Josh
ua Lacy's place, 2 miles south OF
Wilmington, called at our Office few
days ago, being in great distress
about the unaccountab.e absence OF
her husband, Jasper Babb, and de-
string us to make inquiries. He was
soldier in the 7th o V. L, and has
been in declining health for some
time. He started on business trip
to Van Vert on August 4th, since
which time no word or information
has been received from him. He was
put on the train here, designing to go
by way of Morrow, Xenia and Day
ton, to Van Vert. He had never re-
ceived any bounty money, and the
papers are now all ready for him to
sign, but his wife cannot draw it
without his presence, or knowledge
that he is not living. She has three
children, is in poor health, and needs
the money. Mr.. Babb was in his
fiftieth year; about 5 feet 10 inches
high; long, gray beard-no nous
tache; wore dark clothes. Any in
formation will be thankfully received
by his family.

Tive Brave Men Killed.

The Baltimore Express on the M.
& G. r. r which was due at Cincin-
natl at six o'clock Sunday morning,
Oct. 18th, met with an accident at
Obanon bridge, ashort distance from
Loveland, about past 4 o'clock,
which resulted in the wrecking of
the locomotive and tender, and in
stant death of the engineer, Dan
Perdew, and fireman, Joseph Parrett.
A misplaced switch, only forty feet
from the bridge, was the cause. Til,
engineer applied the air brakes In
stantly, and he and the fireman might
have saved their lives by jumping off,
but both remained at their posts
and went down through the bridge
with the locomotive. The engineer
was found crushed in the tender, his
hand on the throttle valve. No pas
sengers were hurt, and those in the
sleeping coach were not awakened.
Both the unfortunate men lived in
Chillicothe.

To the Leagues Offhe WOnan's
Christian Temperance Union.

It gives me pleasure to present
the subjoined memorial to the
Leagues of Ohio. I trust its propo-
sitions will receive their prayerful and
earnest consideration, and be acted
upon with apromptness commensur-
ate with their importance.
This memorial comes from Hills
boro, the birth place of our crusade
against the greatest ofall social evils,
and from the League whose Presi-
dent was the first, or one of the first,
to offer prayer in saloon.
am also requested by these de-
voted women to make an urgent
call upon the Leagues of the State
to testify their approval at an early
moment, in order that petition may
be offered to the Legislature in the
name of all the Leagues of Ohio.

M MemOrfaI.

The Women's Temperance Associ-
alton of Hillsboro, Ohio, would ad-
dress you not as having wisdom su-
perior to our sister Associations, but
modestly wishing to present certain
suggestions as to work that can only
be eftectually carried on through
the cooperation of all the Leagues of
the State.
It is asserted in some quarters that
there is danger that an attempt will
be made to secure some modification
of our present hquorlaws- We think
the active cooperation of all the
friends of Temperance should be Sc
cured to prevent this. Let every
proper influence be brought to bear
upon the members of our Legislature
to induce them to hold firmly all that
has been gained.
But it seems to us the present is a
suitable time for aggressive work.
Now that the Temperance people
have shown their power, let us use
our advantage to secure more strin-
gent legislation. We certainly need
this. Surely the keeping of saloon,
with all the appurtenances belonging
to a tipping house, ought to have
some weight as evidence against
liquor dealer. 1t may be that re-
vision of the rules of evidence is
called for, or some constitutional en-
actment that shall more efficiently
arm us against the dreadful evil.
Whatever chaDges-whether legisla-
tive or constitutional-are necessary,
let us demand them. And If all the
leagues throughout the State shall
earnestly and actively unite in press
ing this demand, it will at least meet
with respectful consideration, and we
believe it will meet with more than
this.
1t may be said that our laws are
already in advance of public senti-
ment, and that it is folly to ask more
stringent laws while existing ones
are not enforced. In answer we say
that the effort to secure advancedleg
islation will stimulate public senti-
ment. and besides, the earnest man
should have the best weapon in his
hand, for all the work. We think
this should now be earnestly done
And for success in this, and every ef-
fort to advance the cause SO dear to
us all, we unite with you in prayer to
the God of Right
By order of the Association.

Prospects of the Pork Market.

The Cincinnati Price Current, Of
Oct. 23d, contains the following re-
garding the supply of hogs for the
opening season:
"The large receipts of hogs in Chi
cago recently Indicated one of two
things, either that the supply is un-
usually large, or that there is de-
sire on the part of farmers to send
them to market early and save their
corn. The prices ruling for corn for
present and future delivery point to
the latter as the more probable
reason for the early marketing of
hogs, especially for the country
along the lines of the railroads,
where it can be transported to mark
ct at comparatively small cost, es
pecially as the prices obtained for
hogs are satisfactory to farmers now.
At distant points from the railroads,
where it costs heavily to get corn to
market, it will doubtless be fed to
hogs more freely. Many of the hogs
sent to market in October must be
light weight, and thus the supply of
of pork produced from a given num-
Der of hogs will be reduced, but the
corn is of such excellent quality this
year that where it is fed to the hogs
they will be fat and heavy, and this
will go far to bring up the average.
There are some sections of the coun-
try where the corn crop is a failure,
but the hogs which were there, have
been sent to sections where corn is
plenty. Many hogs have thus been
sent from southwestern Missouri to
Illinois and Indiana, and tits thought
by some that this will increase the
number which will naturally seek this
city for market, and consequently
that the number of hogs packed here
this year will exceed that of last seas
on, even if the total number packed In
the West should not be as large.
''The season evidently opens upon
the short crop theory, or at least at
short crop prices for hogs, but if
prices are sustained it may develop
into long crop, for the influence of
high prices in bringing all of the
available hogs to market has been
more than demonstrated. If each
farmer sends one more hog to mar
ket-and they can do this by cutting
down their home curing-it counts
in the aggregate up into the hun
dreds of thousands. The circum-
stances are evidently favorable
for bringing into market all the hogs
in the country which can be made
available for packing"

The Aldine comes to us richly
freighted with art and literary treas

is held by an exquisite picture called
'Dinner-Time," after the German

Star steamer Baltic taking off the

Quite a material change is evident
in the literary management of The

the new editorial charge; and un-
doubtedly strength is added, with
out any apparent deficiency in
grace and delicacy. Taken all in all,
The Aldine presents a noble number
for November, that must command
attention in the literary and artistic
worlds.
The Aldine Company has deter
mined to establish an Art Union,
similar to the well-known Art Union
in England, and distribute its works
