Things Worth Remembering.

Why is it that our democratic
friends do not mention the great
works that have been accomplished
by their late reform Legislature.
They usually make a great parade
over what has been done by their of
ficials in Office. We have had two
sessions of democratic legislation,
yet the party is at present as silent as
the grave in regard to the movements
of that honorable body, They tell
us that our taxes have been reduced
21O of a mill on the dollar, but they
forget to mention the fact, that in do
ing this, they have placed the State
in such position that she cannot
meet her liabilities, thus increasing
our debt, and making it necessary
for the next Legislature to add that
much more to our taxes. While
Governor Allen talks of brutal bayo-
nets, and the extinction of sovereign
States, he forgets that a democratic
Legislature, at the instance OF the
Toledo ring, did abolish portion Of
the duly elected officers of the city
government of Toledo, in opposition
to the petitions of her citizens, and
the voice of her representatives in
our Legislature. Why do they not
mention the fact that the pope at
Rome, through his minions in Amer
lea, did threaten the democratic par
ty to force them into an alliance, and
thus compel a democratic Legislature
to vote for the famous Ghegan bill,
and make it law of our State. II
there is nothing Objectionable in this
law. it has an effect inasmuch as the
manner in which it was passed, gives
the Catholics to understand that tney
have only to dictate and the demoe-
racy will obey. If they have power
bv threats to gain one object upon the
same principle they would be able to
ACCOMPLISH what Catholics most de-
sire. the destruction of the Free
School system. While democratic
speakers howl continually. about dis
honesty in Republican officials, they
do not denounce democratic Legis-
lature that whitewashed the Wood
county bribers, without hearing a
word of testimony, and that too after
their committee, upon hearing all Of
the evidence, had reported in favor
of bringing them to trial, believing
them to be guilty of bribery. The
late Legislature also fixed up the jus
tices code TO some extent for the hep-

country that the republic needs and
must have free public schools. OHIO
had the system established under the
doctrines of the fathers when the Re
publican party came into power
Since the Republicans have been IN
power the schools have increased; the
appropriations have increased; the
schools are enlarged, and the high
schools are gradually crowning the
whole. These schools are almost the
only schools of the farmer. They
are alike his blessing and his defense.
The Democratic party, as party,
has been favorable to them, and why
should it not continue to be so? We
charge nothing; but we find this
state of fact. The Roman Catholic
Church-its press and priests being
the organs-are utterly opposed to
free public schools. They are quite
willing to take charge of the schools
and teach the children Romanism.
That they really think their duty.
Failing in that, they demand that
they shall have share of the pub
tic money to teach their own schools.
Will the Democratic party allow
that? We should think not. But we
have seen parties and men both go
under strong pressure, and we dare
not say what poor human nature, de-
veloped in the Democratic party,
might not do. The better way is to
say they have not the power to do
it. aDo you see that little black
cloud on the horizon? "Yes; but
it will never come here. See, it is
moving the other way" ayes, but
l have seen a cloud like that become
tornado, sweeping forests and
houses under it. I shall go into the
house and shut the door"
The Republican party has estab-
lished safe and stable currency, a
tariff which protects alike the far
mer and the laborer, and maintains
the schools untouched by the de-
stroying hand of sectarianism. The
farmer has grown prosperous; his
markets are good; his prices are
good; his schools are good. What
does the Democratic party propose in
it's stead? Look at its platform! To
open the doors of wild speculation;
to reduce the price of labor by re-
ducing the tariff, and to make it
doubtful whether the free public
school or the Roman Catholic school
shall prevail. In one word, the Re
publican party has made the banks
and currency sound; the revenue
safe and abundant; its public schools
universal. Will you change all this,
Oh, farmer, to embark on the wild
and uncertain sea of Democratic
speculation? Il. ID. NJ.

What Cats are Worth.

1t is supposed that hitherto the Gu
liaarv value of cats has been con-
fined to China and Japan. Our
Eastern friends may have long held
the monopoly, but the Parisians
now follow suit. According to Gct-
ignani, there are few cat butchers
IN that city of gormands, who will
give good price to the rag-pickers
for a puss dead or alive, provided he
be fresh and fat; their skins are sold
to the furriers, their fat to the frying
shops, and their flesh to the low eat
ing houses. A certain amiable nat
uralist who has tasted almost every
thing under the sun, says that we'll
fed cat is superior to an Ostende rab-
bit. Prodigal as we are of cat life,
kittens were recently quoted in the
New Zealand price list at from one
pound to three pounds each, and a
grown cat from four pounds to seven
pounds. A tortoise-shell Tom ex-
hibited in Picadilly, few years ago,
was valued at two hundred guineas,
and Rev. A. W. adyertises one for
sale, in the Antmal World of Feb
ruary, 1873. A cat, perfectly black,
nine months old" is likewise offered
for sale on April l, in the same jour
nal.
As long ago as the days of "low-
all the Good" in the year 947, that
Welsh king enacted that the price OF
a kitten before it could see was a
penny; till it caught mouse, two
pence; and when a sl,illful mOuser,
four pence. Those who stole or kill
ed cat that guarded the royal gran
aries were to forfeit mich eve, its
fleece and lamb, or as much wheat
as when poured on the cat suspended
by it's tail (the head touching the
floor), would form heap high enough
to cover the tip of the tail. A short
time since the rage set in so strong in
Brussels for Angora cats that fabu-
lous prices were asked, and dealers
stole the cats that were bought from
them one day, and sold them again
the next, to satisfy the demand.

Chinese Time-keepers.

The Chinese are very skillful in
initiating many European appliances,
but they have not yet succeeded IN
manufacturing watches for them
selves. at any rate not to any extent;
and during a residence OF several
years in various parts of the country
we never met with a single specimen,
though we have often found China
men quite capable of repairing for
eign watches. The native methods
of telling the time are the clepsydra,
incense-stick, and sun-dial. With re-
gard to the first-named, DIR. Bridg-
man tells us that in the south OF
China it is formed of six water pots
arranged in successive order, one
above another, and from which
through small perforations the water
gradually drops; the lowest vessel of
all which receives the water has q
wooden cover with a hole cut in it;
in this hole an index'is inserted, on
which are marked "periods" of time
Then as the water in the vessel fills
one degree, the index, floating on its
surface, rises one quarter. The pc
RODS of time into which the Chinese
divide the day and the watches OF
the night are all indicated ny TINS

A Few Words to Thoughtful
Democrats.

FELLOW CITIzENs:-We recognize
the fact that a majorit, of your party
are honest men, and that you intend
only to support such principles as
you believe to be for the general
good. A few thoughts are here of
fered for your consideration.
The first is that you are supporting
Gov. Allen for reelection, who is
quite an old man and unusually fee
BILE for even a man of his age.
1t is said, and we have not seen it
denied, that he is unable to sign his
name to a public document, but is
Obliged to use stamp for that pur-
pose, and that he rarely eats IN pub
lie, being almost unable to feed him.
self. This is not said to reproach the
old gentleman, but to urge that how
ever upright and worthy he may be,
yet for the danger that he may die
before his term of servic. half eX-
pires. it is unsafe to support him.
Under ordinary circumstances
there would be little danger, as the
Lieutenant Governor would succeed
to his place. In case, however, of his
election in the present canvass, and
his decease before his term of office
expires, the successor would be 5. +.
Cary, man who is dangerous to the
peace and prosperity of the State.
There is probably not an old demo
crat of any prominence in public af-
fairs but who would spew him out of
the party if he could. There is
hardly one who would not repudiate
him if it did not endanger the sue
cess of the party.
This Cary is little less than COM
munist. He is stumping the State
with appeals of most iniammatory
character; seeking to array the poor
against the rich, and is in utilization
with such men as Trevilick and Hal
Ter. Which one of you who has
worked hard, early and late, has lived
temperately and frugally, and by
these means secured 4 little more
than needed for absolute necessity?
Who of you wants your little surplus
earnings divided with the worthless
vagabond who will not work?
Do YOU say We draw it too strongS
That is what communism means, and
Caryism is only one step from it.
Mark the word, if Caryism succeeds,
the people of this State will sec more
riotous vandalism before next Spring
than Ohio has ever known. The ig-
norant masses who cheer the Cary di-
atribes against bond-holders and
banks, will also conclude that any
man of more means than themselves
are enemies to their class. Many of
Cary's supporters are avowed com
munists, and will you train with
them?

NUMBER A

eft of the laborer People have been
guessing for some time as to what IS
the exact meaning of this law. The
one thing definitely settled in regard
to it, is that lawyers fee will here
after be an essential item in trials be-
fore justices. In matters of reform,
while some of our Istitutions have
undergone great change, it certain
ly has been rather expensive to our
State. Our institutions appear to
cost more under democratic rule. and
many new offices have been created,
which foot up an item of expense
amounting to sixty-six thousand dol
lars above former legislation. Neither
can it be said that our late Legisla-
ture practiced economy for their
average yearly contingent and COM
mittee expenses exceeded that of the
Republican by nearly $1,000, while
the total legislative expenses for four
years of democratic rule, was nearly
double that of the Republicans for
the same time. 1t is true that to
mention these facts, in connection
with other little matters they are
bringing before the public, might
have tendency to iniure their
chances in the election of rev leg
islature, but the people ought to know
whether the position taken by the
late Legislature, upon the variOus
questions, that they were called upon
to decide, was such as to justify the
people of Ohio in replacing them in
power.

Sam Cary's True Inwardness.

Cleveland Leader.
When Sam Cary made his stock
speech here the other day he unload
ed all the blatant demagoguery which
he is in the habit of easing himself of
in public. But he reserved for Sc
lect few next morning little double
distilled hog-wash, which he even
was ashamed to throw overheard be-
fore crowd of people. At the Ma
tlonal Hotel, next morning, in the
presence of several prominent citi-
zens of Warren, two of whom, nm
known to him, happened to be Re
publicans, he made q labored argu-
ment in favor of the utter repudia-
tion of the National debt. The gov
ernment might pay the debt in
greenbacks or repudiate; it could
do as it chose. The Republican party
had great horror of repudiation, and
so had many good Democrats, but
it would have to come to that.
No nation ever paid a war debt. The
French Government had repndiated
twenty-one times. The South had
repudiated it's war debt. Several of
the free States had disposed in the
same way of their State debt. And
so on, at considerable length, did Mr..
Cary talk, much to the editication Of
his little group of listeners, whose
memories are good and whose names
are responsible. IL seems that even
Sam Cary, brazen as he is, cherishes
opinions which he dare not make
known to the general public, but
which escape from his pent-up bosom
when among his friends. Senator
Thurman is no longer alone in the
enjoyment Of ''true inwardness."

OUR CHILDHooD.

'Tis sad and sweet to listen
To the soft winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Our childhood knew so well;
To gaze out on the even,
And the boundless fields of air,
And feel again our boyhOod's wish
To roam like angels more!
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling around the past
And from the tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come thronging fast;
The forms we loved so dearly
In the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidens
Who seemed so formed for bliss
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such world as this:
Whose dark, soft eyes seemed SWIM
ming,
In sea of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold were stream
ing.
O'er brows so sunny bright.
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the spring-time of the year
Like the changeful CLEANS of April,
They followed every tear.
They have passed. like hopes away,
And their loveliness has fled.
Oh, many heart is mourning
That they are with the dead.
Like the brightest buds of summer,
They have fallen with the stem;
Yet oh it is a lovely death
To fade from earth like them.
And yet the thought is saddening
To muse on such as they,
And feel that all the beautiful
Arc passing fast away!
That the fair ones whom We love
Grow to each loving breast
Like the tendril of the clinging vine,
Then perish where they rest.
And we can but think of those,
In the soft and gentle spring.
When trees are waving DER us,
And the flowers are blossoming;
And we know winter coming
With his cold and stormy sky,
And. the glorious beauty round us
Is budding but to die!

The Democracy of Cincinnati had
last winter three Representatives who
made records for themselves:
Geghan forced his bill through by
the help of authoritative threats from
Archbishop Purcelfs organ that the
Catholic vote should be lost to the
Democratic party ifit was not passed;
that mark should be placed upon
every Democrat voting against it
which every Catholic would know;
and that the solid vote of the CathO-
lies should be the reward of its pas
sage. Geghan Is reaOmin0ted, on
the first ballot.
Gordon found Democratic votes
selling for prices varying from an
oyster stew to hundred dollar bill,
and he demands an Investigation.
He did his best to expose corruption
and punish men who had brought
this disgrace upon Ohio for the first
