HAYES AND OFF IcAL FEES IN OHIO

From the World.
HAYES AND OFF ICAL FEES IN OHIO
A correspondent from WEST VIRGINIA
asks the following question:
"Will you oblige D reader Of your e1-
cellent paper by stating the PROV lsions
of the act Of the Ohio Legislature rela-
ting to the emoluments of local officials,
to which you referred editorially in the
issue of June IS?
When William Allen was Governor Of
Ohio measure was advocated by him
passed by the Lesisl ature and placed on
the staute-books which reduced the fees
of local and county officers thirty-tbree
per cent. This reduction made differ
ence, taking the entire State together. oi
nearly $5,000,o00 in the public outlay
and, Of course, relieved the people Of q
tax of that amount which they had been
paying. AS soon as NJ. Hayes, thanks
to Democratic division, got into Office, a
combination of these officials was formed
and bill pressed " 'oueh the Les .sla-
ture repeating Governor Aliens act, and
re-establishing the old scale Of fees. 10
this repeal Governor Hayes did not raise
the least objection, and those who
pressed it claimed that the5 had lis fu''
cooperation. 1t certainly went on the
statute-books without any protest from
him. ii. be shown that dishked the
act, that will only prove how worse than
idle it is to expect such man to put a
stop to operations of the corrupt rings at
Washington. IL Hayes as Governor is
impotent to battle against jobbery and
robbery in Ohio, who can expect Hayes
as President to resist the tremendous
pressure of organized rascality at Wash
ington?

Sunday Dinners Quickly Prepared.

I find that by leaving the teakettle on the stove, and filled, with little ire, the water is in condl- tion to boil quickly, and mush is soon prepared. In cold weather nothing 1s better than oyster soup, which requires but a few minutes cooking. A good meal is quickly prepared by having chicken made ready over night by dress ing and stufling, and when 1t is ready to put into the oven when the family sit down to breakfast. 1t requires little care, and is nicely Drowned by church time, and keeps warm in tho oven until wanted for dinner. I find it great help to have potatoes ready to warm over. Often meat is boiled or roasted on Saturday, which rclishes woll cold. A rice pudding, made without eggs, and left in the oven, is nice with sugar aud oranm

Cunning of the Adder.

A correspondent of the Milwaukee Sentinel states that, over thirty years ago. in Leeds, Greene county, N. Y., his attention was one day attracted by the plaintive cry of cat. Looking into Q garden an adder was seen near the cat. The cat seemed to be paralyzed by fear of the adder; she kept up the plaintive cry, as if in great distress, but did not take her eye off the serpent, or make any attempt to attack or escape. Soon the snake saw that human eyes were ob- serving him and he commenced to crawl slowly away. II then," continued the writer of the narrative, "concluded to release the cat from it's trouble. I took garden rake and put it on the snake s back, and held it without hurting 1t. As soon as I had the snake fast in this posi- tion, it raised it's head, fattened it out, and blew, making hissing noise, and something resembling breath or steam came from it's mouth. When that was exhausted removed the rake, and the adder turned over on it's back, lying as if dead. With the rake turned it over on it's belly again, but it immediately turned on it's back. This was repeated several times. At last it was taken out of the garden, laid in tho road, and we all retired to watch it's movements. It commenced to raise and turn it's head slowly Hooking about the while) until entirely on it's belly, and started at full speed for little pool of water ill the road, from which it was raked out and dispatched"

Why It Was.

A zealous Congregationalist once told the following, which she greatly en- joyed During visit among Baptist friends ill Pittsburgh she accepted the invitation of the superintendent to be present at the Sundayschool and take 8 class of little ones just sent up from the infant department. The lesson intro duced John, the disciple of our Lord.
 Az older heads have often confounded him with that John who "camo preach ing in the wilderness" the teacher felt anxious to bring out his personality clearly. So she asked: "By what names do you know this John ?" "John the Evangelist" "John the Revelator, !" "John the Beloved" answered the eager voices. "Why was he called the Beloved 2" continued she. Because Jesus loved him best" "Why did He love him best2" persisted our friend.
 Imagine her discomfture when sweet voice lisped: "Tos he was a Baptist!"

The EyeIashes and Eyebrow !.

In Circassia and Gcorgia, Persia and
 India, one of the mothers earliest cares is to promote the growth of her chIi- dren's eyelashes by tipping and remov- ing the fine gossamer-hke points With q By repeating this every month or six weeks they become in time long, close, finely curved, and of sticky gloss. The practice never fails to produce the de- sired effect, aud it is particularly useful when, owing to inflammation of the eyes, the lashes have been thinned and stunted.

Found It.

Harrisburg, Pa., had visitor few days ago whose mission was to uneartb some $6OO he had buried in camp Curtin while soldier there ill war times. The story seems somewhat shadowy. It is to the effect that the stranger was par ticular to inquire for the main entrance to the camp, and succeeded in reaching 1t by the aid of pocket compass. Com mencing his excavation he brought to light a cigar box containing the sum stated in greenbacks, pocketed the amount, and invited a number of spec tators to take drink. The money, he said, was received by him as bounty in 1864, and in the fear of being robbed he buried it,
