The weather assumed a threatening

continuous rain had reached US from the

HoN. JOHN LEE CARROLL, President
Of the Maryland Senate and descend
ant of Charles Carroll, OF Carrollton,
will, in ah probability, be the next Gov.
ernor of that State. A majority Of the
delegates to the Convention appear to
have expressed a preference for him, and
IL is conceded that nomination means
the next Governorship. The county in
which Mr.. Carroll resides furnished the
last Governor Of the State previous to
the war. He was distinguished princi-
.pally for his economical manner Of liv-
Ing. Instead Of paying the ualatten-
tion to sustaining the dignity OF the
State by public receptions and enter
tainments, he neither occupied the Gov
.ernor's house nor resided at the State
Capital. Whenever his presence was
required at the State-house he went
down for the day, carrying his dinner in
. tin bucket. He proved a most unpopu-
lar official, and his reelection was seri-
ously considered. He was, like Mr.
Carroll, q gentleman OF fine literary
taste, and like him also, man Of hand
some fortune; but the latter, who sus-
tains the reputation Of his ancestors for
whole-soul hospitality, differs very great
ly from his predecessor in this essential

PRESIDENT GRANT will evidently have
more to say than any one else about the
location of the new branch mint. The
act Of Congress providing for the mint
placed the power Of selecting commits
sioner for its location in his hands,. The
continued reiteration of the slander that
he had selected Chicago in advance will
not in the least help our cause. Presi-
dent Grant has his weaknesses, but an
oversensitiveness to adverse criticism Is
not one Of them. II he has decided to
use his influence in favor Of Chicago no
such cry as some of our papers are in
clined to make will have the slightest ef-
feet towards changing his purpose. This
one time, for the interest of Cincinnati,
let us have all concerned treated fairly

With q thymy breath and bees that hum,
Across the years you Beemto come
Across the years with nymph-like head,
And wind-b blown brows unflleted;
A gfrlish shape that slips the bud
In lines Of insp0iled symmetry;
A girllsh shape that stirs the blood
With pulse Of spring, Autonoe.
Where'er you pass, where'er you 60,
hear the pebbly rillet flow;
Where'er You go, where'er you pass,
There comes gladness on the grass:
You bring blithe airs where'er you tread
Bhthe airs that blow from hill and sea,
You wake in me al am not dead
Not wholly dead-Autonoe!
How sweet with you on some green sod
To wreathe some rustic garden god;
How sweet beneath the chestnut shade
With you to weave a basket braid;
To watch across the stricken chords
Your rosy, twinkling fingers flee;
To WOO you In soft woodland words,
With woodland pipe, Autonoel
In vain-in vain! The years divide:
Where Thamis rolls murky tide,
/ sit and flll my painful reams.
And see you only in my dreams;
A vision, like Alcestis, brought
From underlands Of Memory
A dream Of Form in days OF Thought,
A dream-a dream, Autonoe.

Is OUR Board Of Health doing every
thing that can be done to improve the
sanitary condition Of the city? We can
afford good deal of nonsense by the
Plating Commission, are prepared to
see the Park Commissioners blunder,
and can even stand any ordinary amount
of swindling in the Water-works depart
ment, but with the Health Board it is a
matter of life and death. Here it should
be no question of dollars and cents, but
the heated term should find everything
In proper shape. Cincinnati has show
Ing in this particular that no other city
can equal. In times of great epidemics
she has generally escaped, and her NOR
tuary record makes showing that has
never found an equal in a city Of the
size. This is not all owing to her great
natural advantages; her health officers
have been competent and vigilant, and
10 this q good deal is attributable.

until fall and then the owner would be
| travelling"
Weeks have passed and every day has
found Camil Hamilton aud Maurice
Early at the "Neals."
! Cainil Hamilton was seeking fortune,
and Cary Herndon seemed likely to IA
vor him with hers, until she saw the
calm Indifference, the proud cynicism Of
Maurice, dispelled by the sunshine and
light of Champs smiles. and then, in her
seltishness, she tried every art to WIN
him from the cool courtesy with which
he treated her, and to make him love
her.
The four were always together, riding,
walking or catching.
One day when Champ had been un-
usually brilliant, when her merry, con-
tagious laugh was clear in it's musical
| sweetness, Cary sat back in enyious,
disdaintul silence; but when her rival
nestled down on the green soft moss un-
der the willow, looking so fresh and
pure, Cary said, in sarcastic irony,
"Chanp, thought you said you were
not going in companyW
son." said that young lady, laughing,
| "Mr. Early and are friends; and there
are some not worth speaking OF as COM
pany who 80 with me, not with them."
Maurice laughed, rare, deep laugh,
| of intense amusement; Cary bit her lips
and strolled off with Camil.
Weeks passed, and an exquisite In-
dian summer spread itself over the face
OF creation, sleeping every thing in del
icate haze; it was twilight, and Champ
had thrown light shawl around her
queenly shoulders, and was standing
under the shadow of the vines-dream-
ing; for she did not. hear footstep until
deep, rich voice asked:
care you thinking of meW A pair OF
dark eyes were searching her face; she
looked up, and her lips parted, but re-
fused utterance, and she bowed her head
on her arm.
"Champ, darling, look up, and tell me.
were you thinking of mep l received q
note which 1 wish to show you." He
handed her a delicately pei iumed note,
and she read:
"MR. EARLY---I can see that our friend
ship must close. We have gone too far
already; l am engaged. Hastily and
decidedly, CHAMP"
In an instant she recognized Cary's
writing.
'That is why she got auntie to caution
me about writing to you; she intended
this piece of villainy;" and the indig-
nant blood dyed neck and brow.
NovSl miuut ditnouXH you ulu nOL

"Ohl you creature, why didn't you tell

"Because, prefer telling you now that

A moment later little dimpled hand
rested in his, and he said che owned
it,"
AS Cary Herndon passed out on to
the steps, he rose anu handed her the
forgery.
81 am indebted to you for this, and
Champ wishes me to say, when she can't
write herself, I only have the right to
do it for her. When you are Mrs. Ham,

Here. are extracts from two articles
printed in the same issue of the Hamil-

publican candidate for Treasurer OF

man; by his energy, economy, prudence
and talent he has worked himself up in
the world. His success will
encourage young men to cultivate and
emulate the virtues that have advanced
Mr.. Millikin," &c. Now look on this
picture: "John NJ. Millikin, the metro
politan granger, who, wherever he is
known, will run the lighter because o
| his acquaintance. A more unpopular
man at home could not have been nom.
linated. We predict that in Butler coun
| ty alone he will run thousand votes
behind his ticket" By this it would
seem that ''energy, prudence, economy
and talent" are at a discount in thai
section. Who'd want to be an angel
and live in Butler county?
