GOOD HABITS have somewhat to do with purity
of character, not to mention elevation of Thought
The opinion now obtains largely among people
OF practical good sense thar the public teachers Of
learning and morals ought themselves to set good
examples, lfsuch persons are slaves to foolish OF
bad habits, they are not such models of propriety
and virtue as teachers ought to be- for, example
ought to go with precept and precept ought to be
strengthened and sustained by good example
Bad habits have degrading tendency upon the
individual and hence a lowering influence upon
the society In which he moves. No Board of Ed
ueation Tor instance wonld, knowingly, employ q
man Tor teacher who was in the habit of getting
intoxicated, and no religious body would care tc
secure as pastor man similarly addicted. Since
public attention has been called to the proper con
slderation Of this subject some raise the question
whether the use Of tobacco in teacher or q
preaeher Is not a serious objection. 1t is claimed
mat the practice is apt to run to excess and
and thus tends to vitiate the system to destroy
the natural and create artificial appetites and tc
induce to evil inoulgences.
What force there is in all this we shall not un
dertake to discuss; but, assuredly, correct habit
and ways are necessary to keep the body health
tul and pure, all which have much to do with the
proper and vigorous action of the mind. Health
ful conditions are also important to the proper de
velopment of body and mind in the Young. and
hence the care that should be taken In selecting
those calculated TO exert an influence upon them
Let these be selected who will strengthen correct
precept by good example. The fact Is,
prudent, cautious, selfcontrol
Is Wisdoms root"

ANOTHER KIM.
The ClegeLand Leader Alarmed.

The following from the Cleveland
Lader of Wednesday gives evidence of
alarm:
"The Democrats have stirred up an
other mares nest in which they hope
to find victory for Mr.. Tilden. 1t is
said that the Constitution of Colorado
has not yet been approved by Congress,
and that she is not, therefore, a State en-
titled to place in the Electoral College.
The House will refuse to approve the
Colorado Constitution, and thus endeav-
er to exclude the votes of that State.-
This will be great business. Mr. Tilden
would be brave President. elected by
such trick as that Colorado was for
mally admitted into the Union as State.
She cannot be disfranchised.
Sam Patch said "some things can be
done as well as others, ;" and the Leader
is becoming alarmed. 1t fears that the
defrauding on their part may not sue
ceed after all-and it will not.

least pain. We hardly believe that the chicken

THE AULTMAN shoP-Work was commenced in
the Aultman establishment on Monday of this
week in earnest after a rest of near three months
various departments are not yet in full blast
we learn, but it is hoped soon will be- The pain
ters may have to wait some weeks yet. The un-
certainty and irreguarity oflabor now a.daysis
serious drawback to the mechanics and laboring
men who work in the shops especially to those
who have families. The lowering of wages too is
becoming serious, for we learn there was a cut
of ten per cent. on wages and an hour and three
quarters in time, making the days work but eight
and one-fourth hours. We are glad to chronicle
this resumption ofwork and hope soon to announce
the same for the c. Russall & Co. establishment.
1t matter of regret that the proprietors feel
compelled to cut down the wages of their work
men, and it all goes to show the pressure of the
"hard times" and as yet there is no improvement
as we were told prior to the election Laboring
people, too, realize that the price of provisions
keeps up remarkably for those out of work. or
