RANDOM THOUGHTS
BY THE EDITOR.

short time ago / spoke of the fact
perior to common people, in common
things and gave as instances in point,
the conduct of Beecher and Tilton, who
are men almost infinitely above tine COM
mon level of mankind in point of intel
leetual ability, but who, in the common
affairs of life are as low as the very lowest
in point of discretion and common sense.
We may know men intimately, as we
may think, and yet know comparatively
nothing of their true inwardness' of
their real life. Men do not communicate
to the world generally, the real state of
their minds. No one would ever have
known the terrible struggles in Beech
ers mind, had it not been for this Til
ton trouble. Here it became indispensa-
BILE for him to explain why he wrote so
terribly desponding letters as he wrote,
which were construed by many honest
persons as confessions OF crime. He ex-
planned it all to my full and entire salts
faction, by telling how he was subject to
torneys asked him if it ever took the
shape of hypochondria. He said it did,
in his earlier years, but as he grew older,
and tougher, he overcame it to. a consid-
erable extent. His experience has been
almost identical with mine, in this re-
gard. And there are tens of thousands
of men and women too with the same
experience, but they never have occasion
to make it known.
In the summer of 1855 | consulted Dr.
telling him part of my nervous troubles,
he stopped me, and said l need not pro-
ceed, as he knew all about my disease;
he had been afflicted in precisely the
same manner when he was young man,
for the space of thirteen years, and the
only remedy was to suspend mental ex-
ertion so far as possible, and take all the
exercise in the open air that could be
taken.
1 state the foregoing because 1 know
there are so many close students-labori
Gus men, who, even like Beecher have
powerful constitutions, that thus suffer
frem over mental exertion. I believe
from my own experience, the statement
of DR.. Hampstead, Beecher's testimony
and the statements of others, that thi.
afiiction gradually decreases as age
comes on. For the past ten or twelve
years have rarely been subject to thii
affliction

Women arrive at conclusions m

Women arrive at conclusions NOR e
rapidly than men, and there conclusions
nine times out of ten are correct. The
Circleville Herald is now edited by a
young woman, and in her last paper she
said:
SHERwooD.-It is pleasant to see the uni
versal favor with which our gallant and tall
ented friend, Gen. Isaac R. Sherwood is men
toned by the press throughout the State, as a
candidate for Governor. In addition to the
goodly list elsewhere clipped from the Journal,
we note the Newark American, the Warren
Chronicle, and the Logan Republican, as
endorsing him.
We do not know anything about politics, and
we don't want to, but in addition to his own
undoubted qualifications for the position, Gen
Sherwood is fortunate in having for wife g
lady whose amiability and intelligence would
make the home of Ohio's Governor rallying
| place for the best minds of the State.
Uncle George Washington's idea of "Princi
pies not men" has put some queer ducks into
stract political principles what we trust il
daily business life, and it might be good idea
to apply the reverse of the old rule awhile, il
the selection of candidates for high official po
| sition. Judged in this way, we know of nc
man, whatever his political principles may be
who would more honestly and more creditably
| preside over the affairs of the great State o
| Ohio, than would Gen. Sherwood, and we bas'
| the assertion on his record as citizen, sol
dier, and servant of the people in office.

A bill passed the Legislature at its last ses-
sion, which reduces the tolls on turnpikes from
twenty-five to forty per cent, or to about the
same figures they were before the war, and be-
side that compels the owners of them to keep
them in repair or forfeit them altogether. The
farmers who have had TO pay such exorbitant
sums for the past fifteen years for the privilege
of transporting their crops to market will agree
that this law is step in the way of reforming
an abuse.
We cut the. above from the Sabna Tel
egram. Now why should not the great
mass of poor people, who are compelled
to consume the products of the farm or
starve, combine and vote for no man for
legislator unless he will pledge himself
to work and vote for alaw reducing the
prices of farm products from 25 to 40
per cent, and compelling the farmers to
furnish good, sound grain, and fat,
healthy meat, or forfeit their entire pro-
ducts Would this not also be step in
the right direetion2

A female lawyer in Wyoming was recently
obliged to suspend her argument before the
justice in order to administer to the wants of
her baby, who was arguing for its dinner in an
adjoining room.
We cut the above from one of our ex-
changes. 1t is intended as fling at
woman's rights. 1t is not very strong
argument. We have known male judges
to have to suspend court for ten days at
a time, on account of having admins

wants

here. 1t was of black color, scooped up heav-
onward in front and caved in behind, while the
sides were curved and curvetted in such shape
as to leave two pot Kettle ears. 1t was

Some time ago we noticed in one of
the Cincinnati papers that Rev. G. W.
Isaminger had been arrested in that city
for swindling, and taken to Portsmouth.
We thought very strange of this, as we
knew Mr.. Isaminger, and regarded him
as an honest man.
The Portsmouth Globe Of last Satur-
day gives the result of the prosecution,
as follows:
Rev. Geo. IsamingeT, formerly connected with
the Ohio NJ. E. Conference got into trouble in
Mr.. Hunt life insurance man, and finding
that man non est, he was greatly in need of
money and made note payable at the bank
and procured Mr.. Gibbons (Of the firm of Glib
bons & Huston) to endorse for him, represent
ing to him that he owned real estate in Gallia
county, etc., and was entirely solvent. Mr.
Gibbons complied with his request and was
called upon to pay the note at the bank. Mr.G.
thinking he had been imposed upon by Isa-
minger and defrauded, swore out a warrant
against him for obtaining money under false
pretenses. The trial of the case came off yester-
day. Col. Jones was managing the prosecution
and n. w. Evans defended Isaminger. There
did not seem to be the least doubt but that Mr..
Isaminger expected to meet his note when due,
and. had no design of swindling his friend. He
will yet pay it. Case dismissed.
