Lifera Scripta. Etc.

The old adage, LiterG scripta naarent, is one
that should always be borne in mind, especial
ly by people who write much. The spoken
word is forgotten, or ifremembered, it can be
denied or explained away. But written words
remain, and they rise up in after days to
plague men who have forgotten that they ever
wrote them.
In Mr.. William Welsh's assault upon Presi-
dent Grant and the Interior Department he
makes it the subject of grave accusation
against Secretary Delano that by certain re-
port Of his to the President he led many un-
wary people into subscribing to the stock of
the Northern Pacific Railroad. He says:
Secretary Delano, in his report made to
you, October 81, 1872, gave the following
statement: Stock of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company has been subscribed to the
amount OF one hundred million dollars and
certificates for 165, 1886 shares of 800 each
have been issued This statement goes over the
entire land with your sanction, because it is
report to you, and not contradicted 1t has
tended to mislead thousands of people who
were induced to purchase more than $40, ,OOO
600 of the loan under the belief that they
were secure because 800, 600, 900 in stock had
been subscribed for. You ought to have been
informed, and Secretary Delano knew, that
there was hardly one dollar of legitimate sub
scription to the stock"
To make this the ground for removing
Cabinet officer, may look like a strong thing
to MIR. Welsh, but we are wholly unable to
see it. Mr.. Delano was required by law to re-
port certain figures furnished him by the Rail
road Company, and did so. To hold him re-
sponsible for the accuracy of such figures
would be simply childish And for any one
to suppose that 800, 1000, 900 had been paid in
more than enough to build the entire road
or for any one to imagine that single per-
son ever bought dollars worth of the North
ern Pacific loan on the strength of an item in
the voluminous annual report of the Interior
Department, is too absurd for serious COM
ment. The charter of the road required
$4,000, 900 of stock to be subscribed for, and
temper cent. of it paid in, and this was done.

HARPER's MAGAZINE FOR SEPTEM-
BER.-This favorits magazine for Sep
tember, containing seventy-five excel
lent engravings, has happy blending
of the light and picturesque with its
graver and more important articles.
Foremost among the latter will be
ranked Professor Summers comprehen-
sive review Of the financial develop
ment of tho country, being the eleven
tn paper of the First Century series.
No topic could be more timely, when
it is considered that 'the monetary his
tory of the United States, as Professor
Sumner says, from the first colonial
ton until now, is a history of expert
ments with cheap substitutes for mon
ey.' The number opens with beauti-
fully illustrated article on Gloucester
and Cape Ann,' by S. G.. w. Benjamin,
the author of recent illustrated papers
on Brittany and the Channel Islands.
Porte Crayon reappears as contribut-
or, with an entertaining sketch of a
Virginia tournament, enthusiastically
illustrated. Another illustrated paper,
by Edward Howland, gives a graphic
description of the tournament of medi-
eval times.

The Democratic Press OH the Late
Lamented Democratic LegisIa-

| ture.
| The Bucyrus Journal has taken pains to
collate the criticisms of the Democratic press
on the late lamented Legislature, and the re-
suit is rather startling. Here are some of the
left-handed compliments paid the assembled
wisdom of the Democracy:
Spirit of Democracy: about every third
member has liquor BILL
| Ashland Press: They are doing no good for
the State
Kenton Democrat: why don't they go
home for good?'
| Eaton Democrat: is there patriot among
them?'
Defiance Democrat: There are too many
gas-bags in the Legislature
Western Democrat: Wouldn't it be better
to let 'em for lamp -posts?'
Bucyrus Forum (Dem.): "A most proftless
session.
GAINESVILLE Signal (Dem.): 1T has become
| stencil in the public nostrils. Everybody is
disgusted with it. Even the Democracy are
sick of it.
Akron Times Oem.): THE Democratic
members are making fools of themselves.
Same: go home, gentlemen.
Holmes County Farmer Oem.): Not half
of the legislators of to-day can draft a bill for
any purpose, nor could they write out an in
telligent report on any matter referred to
them
Same: Five dollars day pays them better
than staying at home
Toledo Democrat: 'Equalled the worst ex-
hibition of depravity ever given in the Legis-
lature of South Carolina
Lima Democrat: 1T has been curse and q
disgrace to the Democratic party
Same; All the people should rejoice that it
is dead
Same: (Wood county whitewashing) 'One
OF the most outrageous acts Of brazen shame
lessness ever done by any legislative body in
the history of the State
Cincinnati Enquirer: "A majority of the
men who compose the Legislature can do bet
ter at Columbus than at home
Same: I'VE trust few of them will ever find
their way back to Columbus
Same: The Ohio House of Representatives,
in the closing hours of its session has dis
graced itself
Same: in the Wood County investigation
il was clearly shown that in several cases
bribery was attempted or accomplished
Same: 1T has placed a premium on bribery,
instead of fixing upon it the seal of condem-
nation
Same: The Legislature dsbands exhaling
Odious odors'
1t is not necessary to add to the weight of
testimony. The last Legislature, as everybo-
dy knows who knows anything about it, was,
taken as whole, one Of the weakest, most
worthless, and altogether the most corrupt
that ever assembled in the State Capitol An
abler and better Legislative body could any
day, and almost any hour of the day, be gath
cred up by scraping High street, and the Gin
cinnati Enquirer spoke the truth when it said

FASHION NOTES.

Long side forms in the back are seen
on most French dresses.
Folding fans continue de reg,te,r.
The usual shape is the semi-circle.
The sash of the silk of the dress, or
that used in combination, is the rule.
Ruches for the throat are now made
very full, Of muslin, crepe, lisSe or tulle.
Side-plaiting for trimming skirts of
dresses are not made as full as they
were formerly.
Lace grehadine and all the thin
clinging materials will be worn later
than usual this year.
The round mantalets, made in lace
and tied at the back, are much more
stylish and elegant than the lace
sacques.
Skirts of French dresses are made
longer in front and on the sides than
formerly, concealing the foot entirely.
Thread and pique buttons are used on
dresses of the thinner fabric; for cam
brio, batiste and prints, pearl buttons
are used.
Basques are as long wasted as the
wearer's figure will permit, and follow
the natural outline of the figure is as
closely as possibly.
Dark blue batiste suits are very pop
ular this summer, made by the loose
BASQUE pattern. They are trimmed
with white open-work rufties.
Pearl embroidery is much used on
wedding dresses, the long wrists to the
gloves and the slippers also have been
heavily wrought with pearls.
Gold garter-buckles, upon which
there is delicate spray OF flowers, In
stones Of suitable color, of the owners
monogram, is the latest In that line.
Black parasols, embroidered with
colored flowers, are in great favor
field flowers, wreathes of pansies, vari-
egated roses, etc., being chiefly copied.
A parasol of black faille, embroider-
ed in a close pattern with silvery
white, mixed with steel beads, Is
appropriate with any COS
tune,
Quantities of pleatings, many rows
of lustreless braids, and fringes, are
predicted by French journals as the
fachionable trimmings for fall and
winter dresses.
White suits are in greater favor at
the summer resorts than at any ether
time since their introduction. The ma
terials are creamy white nsnsook, Vic
toria lawn, and barrel muslin.
The leading .modistes are making
coat sleeves almost close fitting, yet far
shorter than formerly, with fiaring
.ufis of plated frills around the wrists
% show the white inner frill OF lace
A new round hat introduced late in
he season Is of English straw, and Is
named after an English actress. 1t has
, high crown slopins narrow toward
he TOP, where 1t Is fiat; the edge OF the
narrow brim is turned up all around.

it was body illustrating the folly of making
the Legislative office reward for precocity
or tail to township or ward caucus"
Such was the Legislature which came in
with the Democratic Renaissance, and in both
branches of which the Democratic party had
a large majority Such is the reform in State
affairs which that party has foisted upon the
people of Ohio, and by virtue of which it
again claims their confidence. 1t seems
scarcely possible that any voter, whatever his
previous affiliations, can hesitate as to his du-
ty with reference to aparty which has brought
such disgrace upon the State, and proven so
unfaithful in the trusts committed to ito.

A PARTY that favors dishonesty, deception,
and bad faith on the part of the government,
as the Democratic party Of Ohio does, has no
conscience, and it teaches its followers, by ex-
ample, to steal and cheat. The consequence
is wherever Democrats obtain control they
plunder the people. 1t is natural. A corrupt
fountain cannot send forth pure water.

THREE BROTHERS, named William, Thomas,
and Nicholas Moran, quarreled in Cincinnati,
on Thursday, resulting in the former being
knocked down and literally kicked to death
by the others. The origin of the quarrel is
said to be of long standing, that William, by
superior business tact, had succeeded in ac-
quiring considerable property from his broth
ers, which had aroused their hatred. The
survivors were arrested on charge of murder

If WE KNEW.

II we knew the cares and crosses
Crowding round our neighbours way,
II we knew the little losses,
Sorely grievOus, day by day,
Would we then so often chide him
For his lack of thrift and gain
Leaving on his heart a shadow,
Leaving on his life stain:
II we knew the clouds above us
Held but gentle blessings there.
Would we turn away all trembling,
In our blind and weak despair ?
Would we shrink from little shadows,
Lying on the dewy grass,
While is only birds OF Ellen,
Just In mercy flying past?
II we knew the silent story,
Quivering through the heart Of pain,
Would our manhood dare TO doom them
Back to haunts OF guilt again
Life hath many tangled crossing
JOY hate many break OF woe
And the cheeks tear-washed are whitest,
This the blessed angels know.
Let us reach into our bosoms
For the key to other lives,
And with love tow ard erring nature,
Cherish good that still survives;
so that when our disrobed spirits
Soar to realms OF life again,
We may say. "Dear Father, judge us
As we Judge our fellow men,"
