The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1875-08-14


Everything has tendency to make one be-
lieve the heavy rains are over street-spr n
klers arc hitching mules to gigantic hogs
heads; express drivers are yelling "Here y'are
fur cam 'eetin'!" while the blind beggar who
eyes money so suspiciously Is again on the
tramp, leaving "Darling, 1 am growing o-oldV'
to cut around the corner and fly straight into
your ears as in the hazy days Of yore.
Streets in the West End are no longer sloughs
of-well, despair; and, since vehicles arc not
liable at present writing to sink hub deep in
the sandy soil, hundreds are out, while the
frnged phaeton-top are fiutterlng about like
mammoth butte. flies. The roads to Embury
Park are also in good condition, and many OF
the religiously Inclined have turned their
horses noses campward. There has been no
religious excitement here, although many have
given in their experience and have shouted
aloud in the fullness of their hearts. One lady
says that she Joined the church when quite
young, but wasn't much benefited by her reia-
tiOnship with it until after her marriage, at
pressed with the distractions of the wo Id; and
now she could not comfortably retire to secret
prayer because the children were sure to quar-
rel and fight while she was away. Poor, dear
sister how much OF real human nature Is in
Thy little experience.
One can hear from those who speak out in
meeting the following sentences:
~ have all want L am satisfied with Je-
sus."
sWhat wonderful Jesus love-"
81 have consecrated my all to HIM."
"Jesus only"
"I am the LORDS and He is mine."
'sThe Eternal God is my refuge"
"Glory be to Heavens KING"
II want my soul to. be like ship In full sail
upon the boundless ocean Of redeening love-
"Cut all the shore lines then;
Swing low, sweet chariot"
Sunday morning being full Of promise, found
the roahs lined with carriages on tho way to
the Park. 1t was the largest meeting they
have held during the year.
The COMMITTEES decided to continue the
meeting one week longer. Judge Bolton (who
is called q ''brother- in-law to the churcii'')
gave as his reason that the financial well-be-
ing of the Association demanded Its cOntin-
uance, whereupon, Mrs. Whitrdge, OF your
city, spoke in spirited manner against taking
that mercenary view Of 1t, while Dr. Gum
declared he would stay over n the mud aH;n u ne
Thursday the meeting dispersed for the
year, after having .'walked aronnd Jerusa-
lem," which Is merely marching around the
principal SQUARE by the whole body OF campers
out, they calling blessings down upon them
selves and families and SINGING favorite
hymns.
An old German, by name George Geiger.
very well known in Woifcreek section. died on
" Wednesday, at the advanced age Of one hun.
dred years and four months. He was born at
Oberkilchen, Baden, in 1T5; came 70 this
city in 1s40 and has since lived here.
Linden avenue Church is 70 have bell hung
in its belfry weighing 1880 pounds. The bell
comes from your city.
The Harries Guards, our sprucest Dayton
youths, have gone into camp at Put-in- Bay,
accompanied by a host OF young and old folks
Of both sexes. They pitch tents on the lawn
directly in front Of Put-in-Bay House and re-

ton folks are proud of. forgot TO mention our
$4OO.000 Jail. 1t is very line building, having
the appearance of an elegant residence rather
than gloomy charnel house OF crime. 1t is
finished in freest0ne with carved cappings. the
main entrance being finished in very hand
some style. 1T is topped with Mansard roof,
finished with iron iailings, as is the large tow
daughters are 'srcceiving," and one can look in
at open window and door upon all our beauty
and our chivalry walking and talking under
the soft ruby light from the chandeliers. one
has curious thoughts about the cells farther
back, where the. dsturbers Of our. peace are
locked In. and where the lights flash not down
through roseate glasses. The Christian Asse-
Citations Of this city hold divine service there
sometimes, but the jail birds are too profuse
with their protestations Of repentance to sat-
isiy the members Of those bodies that they are
sincere.
Yes, an 1 we're proud Of our hotels. Don't
every traveller from the East try to arrange 1t
so that he may stop over Sunday In our city?
OF course they do; ask any Of the hundreds at
Beckel House dinner!
And we're proud OF our Coal road-but that
isn't sufficiently materialized yet. And we're
proud Of our laundryman dlrect from the wilds
OF Cathay, who looks almond-eyed at you and
says hen dc. your linen for 'twelf cent piecee
eachee," and 10! they are done, and your cuffs
are enamel and your collars are pieces Of
broken china, and Tun Gee pays NO attention
to your praises, but just takes your money,
pokes more clothes-plns In his. mouth, hangs
more damp linen on his blue blouse sleeve, and
goes In a bee-line toward the straight white
rope that few seconds after is decked with
snowy linen afi0at i'll the breeze.
But we haven't-m0re's the pity--a Chinese
lady teacher such as they boast OF out West,
who, m giving her credentials and enlarging
on her Qualifications, declared that she could
"snatchee small boy bald-headed nuickee like
Mexican woman" but time works wonders,
and let us not despair.
If you are disposed to note fearful dearth
Of news In this budget, pray you lay it to this
fearful town, and refrain from blaming
yours, respectfully. SATURN.
