nearly every family. A year or two ago
described how hominy was made and
cooked, and will not repeat it here, only
to say that it was made Of unground corn.
The bran was taken off with lye, the
corn then soaked, and afterwards boiled
until it was tender.
Scarcely any tea or coffee was used un-
til comparatively recent period. The
only luxuries INDUCED in were common
whisky and tobacco; but tobacco was
rarely sold il the stores. Nearly all the
women smoked, and nearly all the men
chewed. Some few old men smoked,
but it seems to me it would have been a
novel sight to have seen either young
men or young women using tobacco forty
or fifty years ago. All smokers used
pipes. i never saw a cigar until was a
young man. The pipes were generally
home made, like nearly every thing else
in use. They were made Of clay, corn
cobs. or the root of the laurel.
There were several small distilleries in
the county. remember one half mile
below Portland, operated by George
Crump, who resided where Thomas
McNeel now resides, and one near Jimes
PostofIice, in Madison township. opera
ted by John Hunt. Whisky retailed at
l23 cents per quart There was a Stat
ute forbidding sales in less quantities
than a quart, and it was rarely violated
in the country. There was certainly
much less drunkenness in proportion to
the population than there is now. The
use Of tobacco and strong drink have in
creased at fearful rate in Jackson coun-
ty within my recollection. Fifty years
ago do not believe tobacco and intoxi-
eating liquors cost the people of the
county FIVE hundred dollars per year
now they do not cost them less than half
a million per year, and / believe much
more than that amount. lt is true the
population has increased vastly, and the
heavy tax since the war has made the
cost of these luxuries from three to five
times as much as they were fifty years
ago.

| L. B. Leeds, editor of the Brown Coun-
ty News, is a genial old gentleman. if he
is a Democrat. He has been a member
Of the Ohio Senate, and knows some
thing about Senatorial dignity. He
says:
BLOOD on THE Moox.-There is trouble
brewing in Jackson county. Hon. /. L.
Monahan, the Senator who wanted to
pass law imprisoning every man who
swore an oath. has been criticised by
Bro. Mackley, editor of the Standard.
Monahan calls on Mackley to retract his
sayings, every word of them. Well, the
aforesaid Monahan, in the month of Jan
uary, published a severe article against
Mackley in the Cincinnati Enquirer
Now, Mackley calls on Monahan to re-
tract his slanderous article or he will be
held responsible civilly. criminally, so
cially, religiously and personally. Mack
ley don't care fig whether Mcnahan
wants TO sue or fight, thus intimating
that he is ready for either.
Both of these gentlemen are pure IN
morals, high-toned christian gentlemen,
and Of course will stand fire. Mackley
never drinks, and Monahan never swears.
Mackley wants every beer vender sent to
tue peIubeulldTyt anu hOHdnhn wants tN-
cry man who swears sent to Jail. What
pity it is that two such pure men should
fall out by the way while struggling to
reform the world and in assisting in hur-
rying on the millennium. Our eyes will
henceforth be turned to the coal fields Of
Jackson with eager expectation for some
thing to happen up there. Brethren,
please don't fight. You might possibly
get a bunged eve each
We can inform Bro Leeds that there
is no immediate danger. The Senator
and the editor both desire to 60 accord
ing to Scripture, and neither de-
sires to cast the first stone, unless he
can feel that he is without fault. No
third party would suspect either of a
fault; but both being exceedingly mod
est men, each shrinks from taking the
responsibility.
Now Bro Leeds, what would you think
if this trouble should end by the Senator
taking us to the woods some fine day, in
his fine omnibus, and giving US a good
picnic dinner, as he did two or three
years ago.

last week, shows how the rebels I'll up
their ranks in the present Congress.
SUGGESTIVE SCENE ~ THS HOUSE
The House occupied most Of the day
session in disposing Of the contested
election case OF Finley, white. Democrat,
versus Walls, colored. Republican. The
result was the ousting Of the colored
man and the seating OF the Democrat by
a strict party vote. Several Of the ablest
lawyers and fairest minded men in tho
| House insisted that there could be no
doubt that there could be no doubt that
| Walls was lawfully elected. The Speak
er, in subsequently, administering the
oath to Finley. made his first blundeT Of
that sort of the session. He had pro-
ceeded with the iTon-clad oath to the
words, never voluntarily borne arms
against, when Finley's arms fell. Ho
could succeed the negro Republican, but
he could not take his oath A member
rushed to the front and stopped the
| Speaker, and the House and galleries. ta-
king in the situation at a glance, broke
out into general laughing. which contin-
ued some moments. Finally the Speak
er regained his composure sufficiently to
read the right oath.

Congress passed bill reducing the
salary of the President back to $25.0 900
per year. to take effect when the next
President shall come into office. but
President Grant vetoed it. He could
hardly do otherwise, as he signed the
nefarious salary grab steal, in which his
own salary was doubled. 1t would not
be modest to say that his successor would
only be worth half as much to the coun-
try as he claimed himself 70 be worth.
