TASTALIZISG.-An incident transpired
at a paper-mill at Niagara Falls, one
day last week, which to say the least,
was tantalizing. A lot of old rags, in
eIuding some ragged garments were
brought to be cut into small pieces.
Among other things, an old coat was
thrown into the tab. and the cutter set
to work thereon. When the small pieces
were taken out, numerous scraps OF
greenbaeks ratified to the floor from the
dissected garment The figures IS,
80" go" $50, siS1O0r were plainly
visible on the scattering scraps. None
of the pieces were much larger than the
label on a spool of thread and the men,
as they gathered up the tantalizing bits,
each one blamed himself bitterly for not
having ripped the coat mp before putting
| il into the cutter.

on Wednesday afternoon, the little
son of Z. B. McDill was given pernis-
sion by his teacher, Miss N. u. Smith,
Lathrop school, TO draw any picture he
could on the blackboard The little fel-
low drew q picture OF an engine, tender
and freight train This was strange
but the stranger part was, he drew, un-
der the fore part of the train, and back
part of the tender, the mangled corpse
of a man, the head severed from the
body, all corresponding almost precisely
with the circumstance of his fathers
death, only a few hours afterward- The
picture remained on the board until the
dread reality was known at the school
Can science or psychology explain the
connection, If any, between the draw,
ing and the sad accident.

The Columbus Gazette is not partisan
paper-in fact it is quite conservative
1t thus describes the close of the late
disgracful Democratic Legislature:
ADJOURNMENT WITH VENGEANCE
just as our General Assembly was
closing up its labors for the session, on
Tuesday morning, Gen. Grosvener, rep
resentative from Athens county, offered
resolution of thanks to Hon. George L.
Converse, for the able and impartial
manner in which he had performed his
duty a Speaker. On this, and before
any action could be taken on the motion,
Mr. Gordon sprang to his feet, and gave
notice Of his intention to discuss 1t.
| Great confusion then occurred; but the
| House Immediately suspended the rules,
and the resolution was adopted without
dissenting vote.
During all this hubbub was reigning
perfectly characterless. The members
were yelling at the top of their voices,
and every one was talking. In the midst
of all this din could occasionally be
heard the voice of the clerk as he vain
ly read the reports and resolutions that
were showered in upon him. Speaker
Converse had his hands full in preserv-
ing the semblance of order, while the
tspeaker pro tenn, Hon. Milton Mccoy
was as Gusily engaged in signing bills
The scene was by far the most disgrace
ful of any adjournment heretofore
known, and will stamp the majority o
the present Legislature as set of rough
unruly blackguards, who would do bet
ter tending saw mills in back township
than here making laws for a people "a
far above them as a mountain above
mole-hill.

SUMNER CAMPAIGN.

The election to be held in October
next will be one of the most important
elections held in Ohio for many years

indication of the great national contest

State officers will be elected, and what is
Of more Importance, a Legislature will be
elected, to succeed the present Demo

Democratic papers admit is miserable
failure.

In order to succeed, it will be nee

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

On Wednesday, as the accommodation
train went north, Samuel Piles, a furnace
hand, who was drunk, got off at Pioneer
or some station near there. On the
same night, about eight o'clock, as the
pay train came down, he was lying on
the track near the same place, and was
run over and instantly killed. Indeed
his body was not discovered until the
next days train came along The un-
fortunate man had evidences to show he
had bottle of whisky on his person.

We knew Sam Piles well. Twenty
years ago when we were clerk for Peter
Powell & Co, at Portland. Mr. Piles was
driving team for the company. lie was
one of the best and most trustworthy
teamsters we ever saw. He was harm
less, honest, industrious man, but every
few months he would take a spree.
Then he would be helpless idiot for a
week or two at time. But now he has,
like thousands of others, paid the ter
rible penalty for his folly.

The editor of the jackson STANDARD
has recently written a very denunciatory
article with reference to the Changers.
In the most sweeping terms he declares
that they are monopolists of the worst
class. and deserve rebuke. At the close
of the article, he adds that there are no
Oranges in jackson county or at least in.
his section of the same. There is only
one way to convince friend MACKLEY of
his mistake, and that is, to let Oranges
be established about him, and the mem
bers thereof subscribe for his excellent
paper. He would then begin to see that
they were not such fearful monopolists
after all Columbus Gazette.
We fear that the Gazette puts very
low estimate upon the press of the coun-
try. We are not actuated by any such
motives. Instead of limiting to US that
we could be bought over by few sub
scribers, to advocate that which we be-
lieve to be wrong, we would prefer that
the Gazette point out where we are in
error in our views of the Changers. 1t
might do for them to combine and form
a monopoly to put up the prices of the
necessaries of life, but suppose the men
who want to eat bread should combine

more than fifty cents per bushel Have
they not as much right to say that as the
Granger has to say that railroad COM
pany shall not charge more than five
cents for carrying bushel of wheat a

Everything is quiet, the men all at
work as usual. The people, citizens as
well as miners rejoice in the fact that
the negroes have left, and the hope of
all is that they will not return. 1t is

trouble will result and irresponsible and
lawless men may commit outrages which
no punishment of the perpetrator can re-
pair.

courage, the fairness, and impartiality of

The above appeared in one of the poor
tools of the mob in the Hooking Valley
If Gov. Allen was an honest man, he
wonld issue his proclamation, saying to
the colored men that they could go to
work at Logan, Nelsonville, Straitsville,
or any other, place, and that they should
be protected, if there are enough militia
in Ohio to see that the laws be enforced,
aad if there are not enough in Ohio, that
call would be made upon the President
of the United States for troops. But
here is bold threat, made by j. D. Mar
tin, man well known, that if the law be
enforced for the protection of citizens,
then there will be bloodshed and des-
truction of property. And we believe
the poor old man who pretends to be
Governor, and who cannot even write
his own name, will cover and back down
before the threatening of the mouthpiece
of the mob.
What further degradation can be heap

libertines, deserters and bought up

idiots who recently broke up in row at
Columbus:
The Legislature has at last adjourned
and its members gone to their homes
That its sins of omission were very many,
and of commission many more. not even
the jokers themselves will dare deny
Little of good that they have done can
be found to place to their credit to bal
ance this account But that they did
not determine to remain in session to
the end OF time is something to our adj
vantage, and for this the people OF Ohio
feel exceedingly thankful. The history
of the Legislature which has just ex-
pired will teach the people nothing
Such men as are capable of serving the
state as legislators will not go into the
scramble that is now required for nom
ination and election, and there is little
hope of improvement so long as the pri-
maries and conventions are controlled
by the most disreputable men to be
found in our midst. This is especially
true of the large cities, and it is now an
acknowledged fact that almost the only
members of the legislatures at all fitted
f0r so important trust are those selec-
ted by country constituencies.
