Hon. John Sherman, U. 8. Senator from
Ohio, in lengthy letter Of recent date
recommends Gov. Hayes Of the Buckeye
State for President Of the United States
Among other things tho Senator says that
republican asccndency is essential 10 the
perpetuity Of the Union. 1t has become
evident to all close observers that if the
democratic party once more obtains con
troll Of the nation, that it will either re-
pudiate the war debt or else compel the
payment Of the confederate indebtedness
~ an Offset; that they will indemnify citi.
gems of the South for losses sustained by
reason ofthe rebellion and pay them from
the national Treasury; til Ut they will fos
ter southern interests at the expense OF
those of the north, and as rapidly as pos
sible put themselves in condition to re-
new their former efforts to dislnembcr and
destroy the Union.
The course at present being pursued by
the majority in the lower House plainly
indicates their intentions which interpret
ed in the light Of recent experience can
not be misunderstood. The harmonious
.filliation Of all republicans was never
more imperatively demanded than at the
present time.

SUGGESTIONS.

The Centennial year is good one in
which to make needed improvements
NJ UGH may be done at slight expense
which would improve tho appearance of
the city and the comfort Of ito citizens.
The Public Park needs beautifying. A
little money and a little work judiciously
employed would add greatly to the looks
Of the grounds, and to the pleasure Of the
people who cross them daily. The streets
should be regarded, and the old sidewalks
replaced with new ones. Trees should
he set out in liberal numbers, and water
ing places made at the most frequcnted
corners. The door yards should be en-
belished with shrubs aud flowers, aud
grass plats. Nothing outside Of the house
contributes 50 much towards making q
home look plcasan, as does a neat door
yard. Every person who has piece Of
ground that he calls his own should do
what he can reasonably 10 beautify it and
make it fruitful. One thing more. While
we are striving to improve our material
possessions We should not forget that man
has nobler possession than houses and
lands nc has soul, capable Of infinite
improvement, and endowed with an cter.
nal existence. One hundred years from
now all the material things which we call
our own will have either changed their
form or passed to the control of those
who may follow us IN the journey Of life.
Nothing but tho soul endures unchanged
by the transforming processes employ ed
by time,-hcnce it should be the object of
our greatest solicitudc. Some Of the
things which tend most to mar its beauty
and to impair its faculties may be noted,
as follows, viz: profanity, ialsehood,
gambling, every species Of
dish onesty, deceit, envy, excessive pride,
feelings of revenge, or Of hatred, the liv-
ing of untrue lives, disingenuous profes-
sions Of friendship, stimulation Of virtue,
a bad example before the young; all these
arc to be avoided If we would be success
full in the work of soul culture. The be-
ginning Of this centennial year is good
time at which to determine what we will
do and what We will lie hereafter.
