our friends w. S. Furay of the Cincinnati
Gazette, and Q. B. Chapman of the Pome-
roy Telegraph. Chapman is member of
the Ohio Legislature. and the report of
the Auditor of State shows that he
charged $S4 mileage, while Gen. Gros-
venor, the member from Athens, the ad-
joining county, only charged S18
Mr.. Furay says;
Chapman, of Mei4s, exhibits the fruit
OF three days labor and neglect of his
duties as n Representative, in a letter
printed in the Cincinnati Commercial The
silly falsehoods will not help his cause
nor are they to be dignitied with an an
swer. His case is simply this:
"IIe resides in Pomeroy Meigs county.
From that town to Athens is n good stage
line running through twice daily in sum
mer, and once in winter. The distance
is twenty-eight miles; fare 81 so. From
Athens to Columbus, by the Hooking
Valley Railroad i sevcnty-six miles :;
fare. 50 80. Total, l04 miles fare 81 so
This is the most direct route OF public
travel between the cities OF Pomeroy and
Columbus, and the route, consequently,
which, under the letter and spirit of the
law, Mr. Chapman was to take. The
law allows II cents per mile for mileage,
so hat had Mr.. c. travelled and charged
rs the law allowed he would have re-
ceiyed Sl2 ~. which would have paid
his fare, paid IS cents for his dinner at
Athens,and left him $6 % clear profit on
the trip.
But instead OF travelling as the law re-
required and as ninety, nine out Of every
hundred people going to and fro between
Pomeroy and Columbus travel Mr. Chap
man thought he saw Il chance for plum
der, and looked around for another route
II could go up the river to Marietta,
and so around by the C. & NJ and IIocll-
ing Valley road; but this, though great
deal further, would not satisfy his specu-
lative mind. He could go down the river
to Portsmouth, and so by Hamden and
Athens to the capital. This was still q
longer route; but Chapman was resolved
on the biggest grab that the history Of
mileage records. Consequently he went
clear down to Cincinnati, and up the Lit
Miami Railroad, distance of $500 miles,
and for this and the return trip pocketed
the snug sum of $S4.
This is all that has been said about
Chapman as yet, and this will continue
to be said until he either voluntarily re-
funds the wrongfully gotten money into
the State Treasury, or has it wrested
from him through a suit by the Attorney
tanned its due. Mr.. Chapman's punish
ment may be safely lett to his constituents
whom he has dishonored and disgraced.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
BY THE EDITOR.

Where was l when | last wrote? Oh,
yes. l was telling children how to be-
have when at table l will tell the chill
dren little story, under the similitude
of a dream, which, as poet says,is not all
a dream.
If children have sore toe, or de-
cayed tooth, they should not make 9TH
ers uncomfortable by talking about it.
| will not make the children feel un-
pleasant by talking about my recent sick
ness-how l had a terrible pain in my
breast, shook until my back ached, and
how 1 coughed up blood The doctor
gave me morphine, which produced so
delicious feeling that l concluded to
ask the doctor to give me good dose of
morphine when he finds that must die,
and let me go under its delightful influ-
ence. As this pleasant feeling came
over me, had vision which l will call
the
SICK MANS DREAM.
When a man looks back forty years, to
the time when he was a little boy, he
seems to be looking at some other boy
not at himself as n boy. In my dream
saw boy and girl going home from
school. 1t was q winter evening, and
the snow was falling fast. 1t was very
STILL and the only sound that could be
heard was the slight rustic caused by the
snow falling upon the dry leaves that
etIl <f ho
boy appeared to be eight or nine years of
age, and his sister some three or four
years older. 1t was dusk when they got
home. The girl assisted her mother
with the evening chores They had two
cows to milk. One was a white COW,
and her name was Flour" the other
was dark color, and she was named
"Brindle."
The boy took q basket and ran to the
corn crib and got half dozen ears of
corn and went to the fire. He took the
splitting horn from a hole i'll the great
stone iamb wall. This splitting horn
was Il piece Of a bucks horn, with a
prong on one side of it. This prong was
the size of mans little finger, and sharp
at the point, The boy pushed the point
OF the horn into the center of the ears Of
corn, and thus split them into three or
four pieces. He took these pieces in his
basket and went to the stable, where he
found the calves OF "Flour' and "Brndle"
They were about eight months old. The
boy gave each calf a piece OF the split
corn, and they would chew it
and swallow it, then reach Their
noses to his hands for another piece. He
looked with much satisfaction upon
their large eyes, as they put their noses
straight out while chewing their corn.
Soon the supper was ready. 1t COLI
sisted of mush and milk. 1t requires
some practice to make good mush. When
enough meal is stirred in to cause it to
throw up little Jumps high above the
vessel in which it is boiling. it should be
stirred and boiled for some time. When
it is done, it should be kept over a mod
crate fire for some time, and stirred ire-
quently.
The pure sweet milk was dipped out of
a keeler into bright tin cups. A keller
was made OF red cedar wood, and held
about gallon. 1t was - shape of
wash tub Keelers were very nice to
keep milk They were kept very clean,
being scalded and washed every day.

with a heavy sigh he sunk into his seat
again, Lumley's Partner, dashing the
cards from his hand, raked up the stakes
and forced the money into Lumley's pock-
ct.
"HOw long will you keep your wife
and child waiting alone, at night. in a
strange city before the door of a gambling
house,"
The thrust struck home. Like a man
awakening from a dream, Lumley sprung
up, crushed on his hat, and flew 70 the
door.
Once in the little woman's arms he was
safe. Lumley's Pardner knew him Well
enough 10 be sure of that. He never fol-
lowed him, but slipped Ii of the side
door, and the next day, saw him back in
camp, a tritle pale, land sterner than was his
wont, but the clear gray eyes daun;lessly
honest and brave.
And reckon, to this day, Lumley never
knows how much he owes his Old mate,

LUMLEY'S PARDNER.
A story of Early California Times

have forgotten the name he brought
with lin from the States, for nobody here
eve called him any thing else but "Lum-
lev's Partner"
" uiinerS have a familiar knack of re-
christening, and a name Once altered sticks
to Z man as long as he sticks to the mines;
so, even after Lumley had thrown up his
claim and left the diggingS, a good three
years ago. Lumlcy's Partner still remain
ed.a Tinger-pOSt to trace the distance back.
After all, John Jones, or Lumley's Pard-
ner. what mattered il, in that doubtful
tide OF immigration setting in toward the
wild regions, where the first confidential
question, after intimacy seemed to war
rant rne liberty, was invariably, "Sa-ay,
comrade. what was your name before you
came here"
You see. | knew Lumley's Pardner
when he first came into the mines. | was
up AZ Woods Diggings at the time he and
a party OftwOar three more came around
prospecting. rcmember | thought what
q fine stalwart young fellow he was,
straight asayOung pine tree, and no fool
iShnc>s about him either. for he had been
%roughing it a year or two down on the
Texas border. | never saw the boys more
downright pleased over a newcomer than
when ne bought a claim and went in with
Us. He was not a man to talk much about
himself. O II you would feel free to
question but there was honest square
dealing looking out of his clear gray eyes,
fOT ali the trouble and unrest laid up be-
hind them.
LUmley was as different as a man could
De. | have often noticed that men take TO
LnlikeS in mating among themselves, as
well aS in choosing mates for life. He
came into the diggingS a week or so later,
and they somehow fell in together. Lum-
ley w&s what you might call an extra
clever fellow. He looked scarcely more
1lan a bOy-these fair-skinned people
never show their age-with his handsome,
womanish face. bright blue eyes, and trim
puilt figure; bat he had confidence until
you could not rest, plenty of the gift of
CAB, and a something about him-I be-
lieve people call it magnetism at least,
when YOU were with him you believed
]ust as he did, and then wondered at your
self afterward for doing it.
LUmley always had a knack of twisting
lolks round his little finger, for all that the
lines of firmness were quite lacking about
his mouth. Lumley's Pardner, now, with
his close-set-lips, and square massive jaw
you might as well hope to move a noun
tain as him against his will. He would
be strong to do, or to bear you could
easily see that.
| do not know as it was exactly fair! |
never meant to eavesdrop, but it happened
IL this wise: One night, | went over to
Lumley's shanty-it was amazing strange
now soon his name got tackled to every
