plan was adopted, and s4 women,
among whom was his mother, began
the work. Four of the saloons
would quit if all would; but one
man was obstinate and swOre he
would never yield. Day after day
the ladies came and prayed and sang
with him from early morn till late
at night. For a while he sat in an
easy chair and laughed at their eff
forts. But at length the matter be-
gan to grow serious. In fit of des-
peration he cried out: How long is
this devilish thing going to last %
"Just so long" was the answer, "as
YOU refuse to leave the business of
selling whiskey." That placed the
matter before him in an entirely
new light and he surrendered and
stove in his whiskey barrels. From
that day to this there has been no
place in the village where intoxieat-
ing liquors can be bought.
The correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Gazette says:
On the arrival of the train prayer
meeting was progressing at the door
of Goeppers's saloon, close at hand,
and a considerable crowd was gath
cred about. 1t was a strange picture
to look upon. At one door of the
saloon was a woman with hands rails
ed in prayer; at the other door the
proprietor was placidly smoking a
cigar. while all about were moving

AEeg1sIatiVe Tilt.

Columbus is after the State Fair,
and to secure it, her members of the
Legislature brought. in a bill last
week authorizing the leYying of a
county tax, ostensibly in aid of
Franklin County Agricultural Socie-
ty, but really to enable that county
to present a bribe, in the shape Of
grounds & buildings, as bait for the
State Fair. When the bill was put
upon its passage, to the surprise of
most of those interested a spirited
debate 'sprang up, which ended in a
regular field day. We quote from
a correspondent of the Cincinnati
Daily Times >.
Finally, some unwise and impa-
tient expressions of Judge Haag's
started Mr., Rowland of, and then
the war became general The COM
batants were Heitman, Thompson of
Lucas, Thompson of Montgomery,
Coler of Montgomery, Scott, How
land, Grovesenor, and Haag. The
three latter gentlemen monoplized
the warfare at the close.
aH Mr.. Rowland, the member from
Ashtabula, opposed the bill upon the
ground that it was unconstitutional.
and went into an extended argument
to prove his point.
There was scene upon the floor
of the House while the member from
Ashtabula was speaking. The seats
were all filed and the galleries,
while the lobbies were thronged
with ladies and gentlemen of Colum-
buE-the men interested in the pas
sage of the bill-all listening with
intense interest to the splendid ora
torical effort of Rowland. Many
hold that it was one of the finest, if
not the finest, unprecedented effort
ever made in the House. Mr.. How
land covers up all his tracks, leaves
not crack in his armor, foils his op-
ponents at every point, wards every
blow and thrust, is cool, clear-head-
ed, and never thrown off his guard.
He is posted upon every point he
quotes or alludes to, brings out his
strong points into prominence, and
fills up the chinks, as it were, with
his minor inferences. His voice is
clear and penetrating, his gestures
appropriate, and his general manner
and appearancein debate is pleasing.
He stepped square to the front of
the Republican ranks in the House,
and our former leaders must now
look to their, laurels. Said an en-
thusiastic Republican upon the floor
to me, after adjournment, oHe is the
ablest man in the House or General
Assembly"
A well-known Youngstown editor
said to me, "He is my man for Gov
ernor in rs.
There is no doubt that on unpre-
JUDGED minds Mr., Rowland made
decided impression, -
Judge Haag was the only man to
meet him upon the other side, but
he seemed unprepared for such a
heavy attack and surprise. He
made gallant resistance, but the
unguarded exhibition of anger he
had given previously tended to in
jure him. .aH a1

DRINKING WARM BLooD.-Men-
ton was made recently of gentle
man in very feeble state of health,
who had been for some time at the
Butchers Abattoir in Brighton, for
medical treatment, simply drink
ing a half tumblerful of warm
blood twice a day. This course the
gentleman, Mr.. G. H. Stickney,
who is willing that his name shall
appear, has followed until a week
ago, having been there ten weeks
and during that time has gained ten
pounds in weight, and to use his own
words: "My appetite is good; |
sleep well and feel like a new man,
and | am soon to commence business
again in Boston," He also says,
there are ten or twelve others there,
drinking the blood, all of whom are
gaining under this treatment. One
gentleman from Boston, a consump-
tive, so feeble that it was with diff
Guilty he could get to this abattoir, is
now able to handle an axe skillfully
enough to "knaok down a bullock"
A lady from the oity who has been
sick six years, stricken with parlay-
sis, is improving wonderfully by this
"blOod cure" A gratifying feature
of this cure Is that it is"without mon
ey and without price," and Mr.

The Meadville Journal says that
the Atlantic & Great Western Rail.
road refuses to contract for any
more wood and ties between Mead
vile and Greenville, from the fact
that they are about to move the
track down into the valley of the
bed of the Pittsburgh & Erie Canal.
The reason for changing its location
is to get a better grade.
1t is rumored that the Atlantic &
Great Western railroad is to be soon
transferred to the Erie Railroad
Company, and that the necessary
papers to that effect are almost
ready for signitures. When the
transfer is accomplished it is sup
posed the headquarters of the A. &
G. w. will be removed from Mead
vile to New York.

There is hue and cry about
venaIity and corruption in the man
agement of the affairs of the District
and the papers whose aliment it is to
calummate the administration, are
making the most of what they hope
to below into definite and for
midable proportions. Whether
well founded or not, is not yet suf-
ficiently clear for intelligent con-
clusions. There is, however, no such
aspect about it, that the investiga-
tions proposed promises a pleasant
task. Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa, pretty
thorough investigator, heads the
House Committee, and Mr.. Conk-
ling having declined the chairman
ship on the part of the Senate, that
honor was conferred upon Mr.. Nor
rell of Maine, but as he was already
overworked by committee duties,
he has also declined. So who the
Vice President will be able to Sc
lect who viii go through with tedious
and vexatious research, remains
to be seen. 1t is due to those con-
trolling the District Government
and also the nation, that the exam
ination shall be SO thorough and
exhaustive as to forever silence the
scandals SO industriously circulated
by the press, if they be false, and
if true that the guilty shall be
brought to light and punished. 1t
is plain to see, however, that those
citizens most exercised about mu-
nicipal corruptions are the old dis
loyal, do-nothing- W ashington re-
gime, and make no effort to conceal
their vexation and chagrin- that the
Yankee has come down upon them
and seized the town and left them
powerless as to numbers in all local
reforms.

The trouble between the Archbishop OF
Posen and the Berlin authorities is grow
ing serious. As far as reported, he has ap-
pointed forty three priests contrary to the
new German law regulating ecclesiastical
appointments in the Empire. He has al.
ready been fined 1900 thalers, and been
imprisoned for his acts. Having been
summoned before the District Court to an
swer charge similar to those already pre-
ferred, the Archbishop addressed letter
t. the Court, in which he declared that
the law is not compatible with the princi-
pies and dogmas of the Catholic Church,
and thai he cannot, without grossly vio-
lating his duties toward God and the
Church, assist in carrying out tie law.
His position is warmly approved by the
Pope, who comforts him with the assur-
ance that God is now, by the unbridled
efforts of hell, preparing the regeneration,
and for triumph of the Church, at this
moment deprived of all human assistance;
and that by The visible manifestation of
His power, He will compel even the prof
est hearts to obedience" The violence of
the Pope's language partially reveals the
bitter intensity of the struggle between
Church and State. ....r. ..f .s......, 80

A NOVEL CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
AN Englishman with rheumatic
gout found this singular remedy a
cure for his ailment: He insulated
his bedstead from the floor, by plac-
ing underneath each post a broken
off bottom of a glass bottle. He
says the effect was magical, that he
had not been free from rheumatic
gout for fifteen years, and that he
began to improve Immediately after
the application of the insulators.
We are reminded by this statement,
says the Scientific american, of a
patent obtained through this office
for physician some twelve or more
years ago, which created oonsidera-
BILE interest at the time. The patent
consisted in placing glass cups un-
der the bedposts in similar manner
to the above, and the patentee claim
ed to have effected SONS remarkable
cures by the use of his glass insula-
tors.

The marriage ceremony of the
Duke of Edinburgh has been served
up in great detail in the English pa
pers. Only few, however, have
had the temerity to tell how the
bridegroom bungled and kept the
bride waiting for the ring. 1t seems
that the Duke received the ring from
his brother, but found that the
prayer-boOk in his hand prevented
his making the proper use of it. He
offered the book to one and then to
another, but all fought shy of it,
and the spectators naturally were
worked up to a dread that he would
either throw it at Dean Stanley's
head or quietly slip it up his sleeve.
He appears to have adopted the
latter alternative, for we are told
that che finally mastered the difficult
ty and gracefully slipped the ring on
the outstretched finger" This
triumph .of Ducal dexterity must
have been inconceivably gratifying
to the spectators. Another import
ant item which has not found gen
eral circulation is, that in joining
hands the Dean "held them pressed
together longer than is customary"
This is excusable. Deans do not get
the opportunity of holding two royal
hands at once every day in the week,
and cannot be censured for holding
on to them as long as possible.
