worthy, and capable of adorning the
Presidential Office; men whose names
are already familiar to the country iii
connection with the candidacy fof that
office.
The Republicans hold in affectionate
pride the unsullied names OF Hayes and
of Waite; the former the Governor elect,
the latter the Chief Justice of the su.
preme Court of the United States. Gov
ernor Hayes has served in the Execu-
tive Office, In Congress, and in the field /;
and always with distinguished ability
| and perfect Integrity.
Chief Justice Waite is excelled by no
man in the nation for purity Of life and
integrity OF character. His ability as a
jurist and statesman has been found
iully equal to the exigencies Of the high
and important positions to which the
public service has called him. Either
of those men would do honor to the
Presidential office.
The Democrats Of Ohio are not less
fortunate in having among them the dis
tinguished abilities and high renown of
Groesbeck and Thurman; both of them
names familiar to the Nation, and ad-
mired wherever known. Few men of

with the historic and judicial learning,

peachment trial known to the present
century, no advocate in all that array
excelled Mr.. Groesbeck in power before
the Bar OF the American Senate. No
man regards political issues with clear
er or broader views. He studies them
more as statesman and less as poll
tician. With this candor and calibre OF
mind, fortified by moral worth that
would do honor to any station, Mr..
Groesbeck's election to the Presidency
would find him thoroughly fitted for all
the high duties of that great office.
Mr.. Thurman also presents charac-
ter above reproach both in public and
private life, with intellectual training
and capabilities of no ordinary stamp.
His experience as a jurist, as well as in
political life, would give him eminent

Ringing for the Water
Bow.

From the BSstSn Commercial Bulletin.
A good story is told of a ver-
dant one whe was passenger in
a railroad express train, and be-
came thirsty.
"Where's that ere boy with
the water can?" he inquired of
his next neighbor.
'He has gone forward to the
baggage car, I suppose" was
thereby.
"Wall dye s'pose I kin git
him back here agin?"

and he nodded towards the
bell-line that ran above their
heads.
No sooner said than done.
Before any one could prevent it
Rusticus had seized the line and
given it a tremendous tug.
The consequence was at once
obvious; three shrill whistles
were heard, half a dozen brake
men ran to their posts, and the
train came to a stand-still with
a suddenness that startled half
the passengers with astonish-
ment, and caused every man
next a window to hoist it and
lock out to see what was the
matter.
In a few minutes the con-
ductor, red and excited, came
foaming into the car to know
who pulled that belI-rope.
''Here, mister, this way; Pm
the man," shouted the offender,
all eyes upon him.
"Youv' said the conductor.
"and what did you do it for?"
"COs l wanted some water"
"Wanted some water?"

along soon? An, by-the-by.
what in the thunder be you stop
PIN for?'
The shout of laughter that
greeted this honest confession
was too much for the conductor,
and he had to wait till he had
got his train under way again
before he explained the mystic
les of the bell-rope to his YER
liant customer.

How They Received Him.

General Fitzhugh Lee is back
from Boston. He spoke as follows
at Norfolk few nights since: /
come forward in response to your
calls to thank you for this very
fattering reception. l went to
Boston as a guest of your own
ARTILLERY Blues" not because l
expected to have pleasant trip
and a good time, but hoped for a
higher, holier purpose-for the
good of our State, our people, and
all sections of a common country.
Oh ! how / wish I had time to tell
you of the reception accorded to
us by those people of Boston-of
the enthusiastic crowds that greet
ed US upon every occasion-how
the streets were lined with people
pouring out their welcomes to us
and bidding US welcome, thrice
welcome. wish / could stop with
you long enough to give you some
of the many interesting incidents
of our trip. How a sightless SOL
dier told me, General, your boys
put my eyes out, tut I am glad
to see you here in our midst" how
an aged gentleman, grasping both
my hands in his, said, General, l
lost two sons in the war-the only
two l had-but for public consid-
Grafton aud for the nations good, /
am glad to see you and your peo-
pie here at this time" How my
hand was shaken by people whose
overfcwing hearts prevented a
single word of utterance. Do you
know what all this means? ItI
means at the end of the line pre-
cisely what the outpouringot your
people at this end of the line to
meet US upon our return means,
viz: That the people of this
country have taken this matter
of reconstruction out of the hands
of the politicians. that the crust !
which separated them has been
broken at last, and the men of :
the North and South are at last
allowed to see each other face to
face. !

A young man in New Orleans

A young man in New Orleans
recently lost $4OO on account of
his fondness for the cigarette.
He was stationed to guard a BAG
of specie on board a asteamer. and
near him stood a lynx eyed thief.
watching both the treasure and
the guardian. The latter sought
to while away his time by smok-.
ing a cigarette. 1t is always
more or less difficult to light
these little articles evenly. If a
current of wind blows against
them, the moment the match is
applied the flame is almost GER
tain to enyelop the thin tissue
wrapper, consuming it all in o
breath and scorching the NOUS
tache or beard Of the smoker.
The guardian of the specie turn
ed his head in the direction
necessary to get a good, even
light, took a few whiffs of the
fragrant cigarette, and his spe-
Gle was gone. Whether it sunk
in the earth or rose in the air
he knew not. He heard Moth
ing and saw no one around him.
A thorough search resulted in
the discovery of no clue of the,
thief. The owners of the boat
are out their $4OO, and it is said
that it is impossible for them to
find young man in New Or
leans who does not smoke cigar
cites and with whom the same
accident may not occur at any
time.

Pointed Rebuke.
From the Salem (Oregon) Statesman.


A certain Oregon professor
was very fatherly sort of a
man, particularly toward his
young lady pupils. Whenever
a young lady would ask a ques-
ton, he would place his hand
quietly on her head and make
considerable fuss more than was
necessary. Of course the girls
got tired of this, and conspired
to break him of his fatherly
proclivities. One of them hit
upon a plan. She fixed up a
nice little pin cushion, had the
pins inserted so that they would
stand on their heads, point up
ward, and then adjusted the in
fernal machine on the top of her
head, covering it with just G.
nough of her hair to hide it from
view. This done she left her
seat during the session, walked
demurely up to the professors
desk, stood a moment in his au-
gust presence, and then, in a
meek and plaintive tone of voice
she asked him for the informa-
tion as to whether Washing
ton crossed the Delaware on the
ice or horseback when he left
Trenton. He raised his hand o.
yer her head soothingly and said
"Why, my dear little child"
Well have to end this sentence
there, for the balance of the
exclamation was a sort Of half |
howl, half whoop, which we can
neither write nor print. Just
as he said "child" he lowered his
hand carelessly butforcibly upon
the crown of the girls head, and
the whole surface of his exten-
ded palm felt the tickling and
exhilarating sensation of a coup
le of dozen of pin points.

A Strange Story.

About ten years ago Jew in
istraitened circumstances left Tran.
,sylvania for America to improve
his position in the new world
He left wife and several chill.
dren behind, and prmised that as
soon as it was within his means
he would send them some money
from America. There fortune
smiled on him, and when he had a.
massed a sum of 10000 forius he
resolved to return home and sur.
prise his family with his wealth.
He started without having ap-
prised his family of his intended
return, and ON his way home he
arrived at Hamburg, where he was
seized with so dangerous an illness
that he madea will bequeathing all
his property to his wife. He recov-
cred, however, only to find that
during his illness his money had
been stolen from him by a man
who had nurSed him. A few be-
neVOlent persons, sympathizing
with his miSfortunes, collected a.
bout one hundred forins, where.
with the unfortunate Jew resolved
to return to America in order to
retrieve his fortunes. In the mean
while the nurse had decamped
with his booty to America, where,
shortly after his arrival, he died
suddenly. The American author
tiles sent the coffin, with the Co.
900 forms, to Transylvania, and,
as the will was also found in the
coffin, the authorities at the same
time acquainted the relatives with
the death of the testator. After
the usual period OF mourning the
wife contracted a second marriage.
The first husband had, however,
again saved a considerable sum
Of money, and eventually returned
10 his native country to find his
wife married to another man.
The event has caused a great SEN
'ation in the neighborhood, and it
s stated that a conference of rab-
Dis is about to be held to determ-
ne to which of the two husbands
he woman belongs.

Howa Constable Prepared
for Duty.
From the Dayton Democrat.


When Eph W.. was elected
constable up in Wayne township
it was a sensation to him, and
he could hardly realize it. 1t a.
wakened visions Of war and
bloodshed, and he determined
to put himself on a war footing.
Wouldn't he have to command
the peace? And wouldn't he
have to bring the whole power
of the army and navy to effect
this purpose if it were necessa-
ry? Then he procured horse
pistol, and securing a copy Of a
"Warrant" he repaired tothe for
est, took a position under his
vine and fig tree, as it were,
where none dare modest or make
him afraid, and selecting beech
tree foot in diameter, he read
the document to it in a loud
voice which fairly made the for
est tremble. "Hold! you scoun-
drel!" he cried, zone foot more,
and I'll blow your brains outw
Then bang went the horse pis-
toI, but he missed the tree every
time.

Two gentlemen and their wives,
at Wauregan, Conn, drove two
miles out of town last Sunday, to
bathe in the Quinebaug river
They left their clothes in the car
riage, and plunged into the river.
When they came out their carriage
was gone, and they had to walk
a mile in their bathing clothes, to
the nearest house. The next
day the carriage was found in the
river, the horse having been
drowned.

A DEADLY SPRING.-A writer
in California newspaper says
About half a mile over a noun
tain from Bartlett Springs, there is
what is called the Gas Spring
This is probably the greatest Curl
osity of the mountains. The water
is ice cold, but bubbling and foam
ing as if boiled, and the greatest
wonder is the inevitable destruc-
ton of life produced by inhaling
the gas. No living thing is to be
found wi hin circuit of one hun.
dred yards of the spring. The
very birds, if they happen to fly
over it, drop dead.
"We experimental with a liz
ard on its destructive properties
by holding it few feet above the
water. 1t stretched dead in two
minutes. 1t will kill a human
being in twenty minutes. We
stood over it about five minutes,
when a dull, heavy aching sensa-
ton crept over us, and our eyes
began to swim. The gas which
escapes here is of the rankest
kind of carbonic, hence its sure
destruction of life; also of quench-
ing of flames instantaneously.
