IlIiterate Women.

Democratic papers say, ''it is reported
that Robert Lincoln, only surviving son of
the late President, will stump Illinois for
the Democratic National ticket" While
we believe this to be a rumor, without
foundation, we know that n son of the late
STEPHEN A. DOUGLASS was n delegate
from North Carolina to the Republican
National Convention at Cincinnati, and
have every reason to believe he is now ad-
vocating the election of HAYES and
WHEELER.
II ROBERT LINCOLN should advocate
the election of the Democratic ticket in
the present campaign it might be attribu-
ted to the influence of mother, frail-
minded woman, who probably thinks that
Republics are ungrateful. This re-
minds us of little story.
On February 18th, 1861, ABRAHAM
LINCOLN, President elect, accompanied by
Mrs. LINCOLN, passed through Cincinnati
on his way from Springfield to Washing
ton. Here, as well as at all other points
where he stopped upon the route, he was
given an enthusiastic reception. During
their stay in the city report was circula.
ted by Madam Gossip, that Mrs. LILcoLS
had purchased S400 spring bonnet or
Fifth street, to make her appearance in
Washington society. This, of course, fur
nished happy theme for discussion in
family circles for month, and the char.
acter, habits, frivolity, illiteracy, etc, ol
all Presidents swives, from MARTHA
WASHINGTON down, had to undergo a
cross-examination. About this time the
writer remembers an evenings entertain.
ment Of this nature in which an aged and
well-informed lady, native of Old Vir
ginia, gave an illustration of what she
knew about Mrs. ANDREW JACKSON. Mrs
LINCOLN was the first subject dissected
and from the best information at hand il
was decided that she was weak and friv.
olous woman, OF which the $40O bonnet
was the most reliable proof. Then
the question was propounded-"Why is il
that so many of our educated men, mer
who have attained the most eminent posi-.
tions in the country, marry illiterate and
frivolous women?" This brought out =
free discussion on imperfect man, hi,
bad judgment in some matters, while good
in Others bad taste, weak points, &c, &c
Then came in the old ladys story, whicl
reflected severely upon the education O
Mrs. JACKSON. She detailed a conversion
that she heard when girl from bevy o.
old ladies who had met Mrs. JACKSON Al
a social gathering. Their conversation
turned upon the health Of each (Which /,
not uncommon at modern similar gather
ings.) Mrs. JACKSON had a bad cold, and
how she Scotch il" can only be appreciated
when told in her own language. She said
The Gineral was very ristless last NIGH

This served for the side-splitting farce

The Toledo papers seemed to be agreed
that whoever may be the nominee he must
hail from that city. They further agree
that he should be a man Of brains, energy
industry, conversant with the wants and
material Interests of the city and who
would have an ambition to urge these up
on the attention Of the National Legislature.
They also claim that whatever enhances
the prosperity Of Toledo, will necessarily
promote the general welfare of the Sixth
District. These views, presented by the
Journal two weeks since, am pleased to
observe, are concurred in by the Toledo
dalics.
Now, II the candidate must be selected
from Toledo, would suggest gentleman
for the position, who, think, moro than
any other, would satisfy the above require
ments. That gentleman is CLARK WAC
aoNER, Esq. All will coaecae his ability,
energy and industry, and no one will ques-
ton hls integrity. During many years he
occupied position which gave him op-
portunities to aid, efectually, in building
up the city, and he never let one pass by,
unimproved. To him, more than to any
other, is Toledo indebted for the many
railroads terminating at that point. To
him, more than to any other, for the pro-
curement Of cheap fuel. To him, more
than to any other, in the building up of
her manufactures and to none more in
fostering her commerce. All will bear
witness that he has labored for the wealo
the city with a zeal and intelligence rarely
equaled and perhaps never excelled. These
long years Of labor have made him famil-
lar with all ITS wants and how they can be
best supplied. His knowledge Of the sub
iect in all its phases, and in every detail
would invest him with power in securing
needed legislation which no other possesses
Can Toledo afford to do without his servi
ces? Has it not already been made con.
scious Of the absence Of q warm and eff
cient advocate?
1t may be objected TO Mr.. w. that he is
not "Soh money man. but is he not in
full accord with both the State and Ma.
tional platforms upon the financial ques-
tion, and also with the Republican nomi
nee for President? Should he be at vari.
ance with these his Repubicanism might
be called into question. Should hebe requir'
ed to act upon this question, we have nc
doubt his conduct would be marked by hi
usual good sense and discretion. Not all
Republicans, nor half of them, we believe
are "soft money men," This question, then
ought not to be suffered to become dis
; turbing element in the convention or a
the polls. Toledo must seek iirmer ant
more enduring foundation upon which tt
base the realization of her ambition, thar
the changing, controverted and ill-under
stood question of circulating medium"

WAITING.

There are many who are passed unno-
ticed by the busy throng in their eager
haste to grasp the gided toys of earth or
else fercely striving to outstrip one anoth-
er in the race to gain the goal Of ambition
who have learned the lesson of lie
to labor silently and wait patiently. The
labor OF love is their mission. Waiting
is the burden of their lives. Their weary
feet sometimes fail and falter, treading the
rugged, thorny path of life, and their eyes
grow dim watching for the dawn that will
never break upon their mortal sight. But
patience, submissive, calm and meek. over
comes all at last. Waiting for Gods good
time. o, blessed privilege. Those whom
God hath joined together no one can mt
asunder Though the sea may divide and
the long, long years of absence roll, still
kindred souls are indissolubly united.
Though in body the pure, the good and
the true are not permitted to enjoy each
others company, again oft in spirit they
meet 'face TO face" and hold blessed con-
verse. And when freed spirit wings its
way to fields elysian, ii oft comes again to
comfert and cheer its mourning mate in
its prison house of clay. Death is not
parting, il is only waiting. Away ON the
green shores of Immortality way-worn pill
grims wait no more The long, weary
earIh-night of watching is past. Loved
ones meet to part no more fOreUer. Faith
is lost in sight, and hope is changed TO fru.
ition. There the buds OF promise, blighted
on earth, blossom into perfect unfading
flowers In the Paradise OF God.

The Toledo Review says it has "several
times asked the German Express, of this
city, to state one good reason why the Ger
man language should be taught in the
public schools of Ohio to the exclusion of
French, Spanish or Irish. The Erpres,
has so far given no reply, for the very
simple reason that it cannot. Now, let il
take the manly course and answer thi,
question squarely. Why should the Amer
ican, Irish and French citizens of Toledo
be taxed for the perpetuation of the Ger.
man language, Of which they know little
and care less?"

The same men who have been making
such clamor for Civil Service Reform
have became alarmed since HAYES so
strongly endorsed it in his letter of accep-

il will be put into practice. They fear the
system would create hereditary arisocra-
cy of ofiice-holders." This class of Reform
Shriekers is very hard to please, and it
is not likely their desires will be consulted.
