Prospects in Ohio.

The Cincinnati Commercial of Saturday
says: The week closes with the most ami
mating indications in all quarters that tn.
result in Ohio on the 18th will be the totaI
defeat OF the lufationi>ts. The event OF
the week is the appearance of Carl schurz
in the campaign. and this has had a most
happy influence. The Democrats had
promised themselves great gains in South
ern Ohio. That is the section where they
suffer the heaviest losses. Hamilton coun-
" shows strong signs OF going Republi-
can"
The Ohio correspondent of the New
York Times says: Il have learned to-day
upon excellent authority that HE Demo
cratic Committee have become gloomy and
respondent, and privately admit TO each
other that the contest is turning against
them. The loud Boosting of two weeks ago
j. certainly at an end. They of course
make loud professions OF their confidence
in public. but the air is not filled with the
same din and clamor and noisy shouts As
il was two months ago"

Next Weeks Elections,

Ohio, Iowa. and Nebraska, hold their
State elections next Tuesday
The greatest interest Is felt in the result
in Ohio. Both parties are canvassing the
State thoroughly-s heavy vote will I'M
questionably be thrown, exceeding five
hundred thousand, and its Tuesdays de-
cision will be regarded as indicative of and
influencing more or less the result of the
next Presidential election.
Rutherford b. HAYES is the Republican
candidate for Governor, and William AL
len. the present Democratic Governor. is a
candidate for reelection.
In the canvas in this State the currency
question has been made the most prom-
nent issue. the Republicans advocating
hare money and the resumption OF specie
payments and the Democrats favoring and
arguing for, paper C.onev and infiation.-
ON account of the Importance of this
question. the attention of the whole coun-
try is turned to Ohio.
The management Of the public schools,
SO far As it relates to sectariau infience in
them. is another issue which enters into
the campaign.
Some of the ablest men in the country
are to-day speaking in Ohio on one side or
the other, of these issues. Among them
will be found Hon. Carl Scburz, one of
whose strong addresses will be found in
another column of this paper.
Republican exchanges speak in a hope
full manner of the probable result, while
at the same time, the Democrats are equal
~ sanguine. For several years, Ohio has
been a close State. Gov. Allen was elect
cd two years ago by less than 1000 votes
over the Republican candidate. 1t is not
probable however that any such close fig
ures will occur on. Tuesday. The State will
probably vote decisively one way or the
other. In Iowa it is conceded that the Re
rublican> will carry the State by a large
majority. An amendment to the Constitn-
lion j. there to be voted on. authorizing
woman's suffrage. The election in Nebras-
HI is unimportant. as only Judges of Sur

Money Lost and Found.

Mr.. Editor:
Last week, when the passenger train from
New York was near this village a gentleman
on the train discovered that he had been rob-
bed of a roll of bills about q 900. He informed
the conductor of his loss. but obtained no clue
to his money. 1t is quite evident that the thief
threw the money out OF the car window to avoid
detection for the time being. as he could return
TO the place and find it again, and escape detec-
ton altogether.
1t so happened that a little boy the son Of q
poor widow. was near the place, and saw the
roll OF bills, and took them to his mother.
The mother. woman who supports herself
and little children by working, brought the
money to one Of the merchants in this village
and had it advertised.
If the robbed man should appear and claim
the money, he will feel in duty bound, to re-
ward the poor widow for her honesty.
1t is barely possible the money may belong
to Maine man, and for that reason send you
statement of facts, hopping that the owner Of
the money may find it.

SCHENCK's PULMoSIC SYRUP,
SCHENcKs SEA WEED Tonic,

side, constipation, coated tongue. pain in the
shOulder-hlade, feelings OF drOwsIness and rest
lessness, the food lying heavily on the stomach
accompanied with acidity and belchng up OF
wind.
These symptoms usually originate from a
diso1dered condition of the stomach or a torpid
liver.
Persons so affected. if they take one or two
heavy colds, and il the cough In these cases be
suddenly checked, will mud the stomach and
liver clogged, remaining torpid and inactive.

Is THERE A MAN IN THE Moon? At

exception on the Himalaya range. the Rus

maintained an astronomical observatory,
from which u remarkable discovery has

are as follows:
For several months a peculiar bright
spot had been discovered, shining from the
extreme edge Of the moons disk, az a point
where no mountains break the continuity
OF It's perimeter. This light suddenly dis
appeared and remained invisible for nearly
twelve mouths. 1t has lately reappeared
IN greater brilliancy than ever. and the i'm
