We should hate to see any Church
given an unfair advantage, even in a
prison, but only such an excess of big
otry as to be downright insanity could
detect any unfairness in this law. 1t
simply places the adherents of all sects
on precisely the same ground, as they
should be.
There was no excuse then for thrust
ing this intemperate religious quarrel
upon the POLITICAL canvass in Ohio, and
it is to be greatly regretted that tho
HAYES managers have resorted to so
reckless an expedient.
If they should meet with ignominious
defeat they will have only themselves
to blame, and the Republican party of
the Nation, which is in most States not
vet in so desperate strait as to mas
querade in the old garments of the dead
know-Nothing party, need not mourn
the event. There are real issues enough
and live ones, too-so that this giant
party which saved the Union and abol-
ished slavery, has no need to NEEDLE
with religious disputes or conjure up
the ugly ghost of Native American
ism.

other day. saw man up tree along
the roadside, and halting. he inquired,
What are you doing up there" The
man made no reply. and the citizen con-
tinued What's the cause Of your
being up there" AT that moment a
woman rose up from the fence corner,
rested n club on the fence and remark

A LOST HOUR.

A golden hour on o Summer morn,
When half the world was still,
The dew was fresh'on the new-mown bar,
And the bridal vail or the fair yonng day
Hang o'er the purple hill.
The sheep bells tinkled across the slopes,
Sweet as elm chime;
Butterflies fitted sihwart the down,
Bees went murmuring, busy and brown,
Over the fragrant thyme.
A languid calm and dull content,
Silence instead Of speech;
The wind sighed low, and the lark sang high,
But the golden hours Of our lives went by,
And drilled cut Of reach.
We both went back to an eager life;
But in its pause to-day
The gleam Of that golden hour returns,
And my iaded spirit frets aud yearns
For one chance swept away.
The years creep on, and the heart grows tired
Even of hopes fulfilled;
And turns away from the worlds strong wine,
With fevered lips that must ever pine
For that pure draught We spilled.
And vet perchsnce when our long day wanes
Gage hath its JOYS late born):
We shall meet again on the green hillside,
And find. in the solemn eventide,
The hour We lost At morn.

Lowell is getting old. He is, to use
homely phrase, in the dumps" His
last poems breathe despair of his coun-
try. The following bitter little sonnet,
on what the United States has to show
at its centennial exposition next year.
is his latest production. Lowell evil
dently accepts the theory that there is

things happen very often, too. A man
went into rum-mill last, got drunk,
spent all his money, kicked up row
and got kicked out and beat and left on
the street. OF course the "cops' found
| him and took care of him for the night.
When morning came he could tell moth
ing about himself, and they made it
tramps again. The morning papers in
speaking of it, said ''This trampaues-
tion is getting to he avery serious thing,
and it is getting time that the law
was doing something to rid the coun-
try of them. They win soon be the ter
ror of every city as well as the country,
too and in conclusion, IF such things
keep on, peaceable citizens will run the
risk of their lives by walking the streets
after dark. We can well say, "Lo the
poor trGmp."
The X. X. X. has broken loose again
in our adjoining State, Illinois, and from
reports they have been committing most
daring depredations, going about mask
ed and armed over the country at night
robbing and numbering peaceable farm
ers in their beds. 1t is wonder to me
the papers don't say they are huge ar
mics of tramps conSregated together
for mutual protection, to commit their
depredations and thus protect them
selves by their own force. / expect
they will have it something in this way
after awhile. Who knows?
Two Of our leading newspaper men
had duel the other day, but as far as
| can learn it was not about cramps"
or they were not called cramps" either
in the morning papers. 1t seems that
they have been fighting each other
through their respective papers for
some time now, concerning an article
about JEFF. Davis and ladies of Illinois,
more of political character than any,
thing else, rs ole was Republican and
the other Democrat. But it is not nv
intention to tell the cause and describe
the arrangements, but to show the lu-
dicrous ending of this affair. Suffice to
say a challenge was sent and was accep-
ted. Preparations were perfected bv
their seconds and it was agreed 20 let
the bloody deed be done on Illinois soil,
so they both went separately with their
seconds, friends and surgeon apiece
mp in Winnebago county. Twenty
PAGES was the distance, and by agree
ment with their seconds only one shot
was to be fired One, two, three, and
the not fatal shots rang upon the air
Both men stood in their places the same
as ever. They both shot on line but
aLors each others head, and of course
no one was harmed, thus ending the
duel by agreement. They shook hands
like gentlemen and both came home to-
gethcr the best of friends. Nav they
always continue SO. The crops in this
part Of the country are in excellent con-
dition, Notwithstanding the severe foods
we have had recently ruined great
deal. More than an average yield is
expected by the farmers all over the
West, including the Grasshorper dis
tricts that were rerlanted. The Sum
mer has been very pleasant all along.
but now it is fearful warm. More anon,

THE ELECTIONS YESTERDAY.

Elsewhere will be found copious returns
and estimates from most of the States In
which elections were held yesterday. They
indicate a full vote in most Of the States,
and generally most gratifying results.
There was great deal Of scratching, and
the full and accurate results will not be
known for some days. Enough is known,
however, to show that the great heart Of the
country is still sound upon Republican
principles; that the second sober thought
of the people IS still earnest in favor Of
preserving the results of the war and the
credit and homer of the nation by the
maintenance of sound currency and re-
turning to a specie basis. Thepeople have
once more warned the Democracy that
they will never again cntrust the Gov
eminent in their hands while they
adhere to the doctrine of State Rights and
repudiate the practical results of the war.
Maryland and Mississippi appear to have
both been given over to mob law, and in
timidalion, violence and fraud have worked
out their logical results-Democratic VIC
tories. This occasions no surprise. Our
success in other States insures the safety
ofthe country during the remainder of its
first century.
