Gonr Him.

He's a poor, hard working man try
ing to pay his honest debts and support
his family by honest toll, but go for
him, because he cannot pay you a few
dollars he owes. He is poor and en-
titled to no consideration. Keep him
down.
Help him He's a rich man, who
robbed bank or made an assignment,
lives in fine mansion and walks leis-
urely, enjoying life, while his wife and
children are deprived of none of the
luxuries of wealth or the enjoyment OF
society. He's smart-an enterprlslng
business man, and it's pity he rob-
bed his creditors. Don say anything
10 hurt his tender feelings nor expect
him to soil his delicate fingers by toll.
He compounded with creditors at % or
30 per cent, and now lives in luxurious
ease, an honored, respected citizen, and
a prominet man in the church J
Go for him | He's poor-he is try
ing to pay cent for cent with interest
and his hands are hardened by toll
his wife and children feel the pinch
ings of poverty aud the tigbtness Of
the times-he lives in a small house
and fares scantily, but it is as good as
he deserves-he has no business to be
poor nor honest. He's fool for not
robbing bank or stealing from those
who would have trusted him in pros
porous days. He ought to be poor
Go for him ! Keep him down, pile
upon him such a weight of obloquy
and pecnniary embarrassment that he
will never be able to rise.

THE total vote in Ohio last fall was
sos ,253. Hayes received 297 ,Sl7; Al
len, 292, ,273; 0dell, 1888; scattering,
II; votes not cast for governor, 2,153 I;
majority of Hays over all, 3Sl. The
vote Of Perrysburg, which gives a
Democratic majority of about l30, was
thrown out, SO that the clear majority
in the State was about $50. There is
certainly nothing in these figures to
discourage the Democracy, If they

Prom fhc London Builfin0 NsarSI
The lofty chimney stack at Messrs. Peter
Matthews q Sons chemical works at Pitch
combe, Gloucestershire, has lately become
very much out OF perpendicular, but almost
without any building or engineering WORK
being carried out, the stack has been brought
BACK 10 It's original position. The stack Ii
l52 feet high, and was built in 1862 by Mr..
Gideon Morris. IL had gradually fallen
from lts upright position, and Mr.. Augustus
Mathews consulted Mr.. NJ J. TAYLOR elee-
trict engineer. of Nailsworth. who tested n
position, and found IL TO be feet 10 inches
out Of perpendicular, but undertook 20 re-
store II 10 Its original position by a process
requiring no scaffolding. The terms were
agreed upon, and accordingly Mr.. Taylor
commenced operations a few weeks ago a.
sisted by three worsmen. The chimney 10
Mr.. Taylor consisted in cutting out enc
course Of bricks from five OF the sides ana
inserting thinner course, and then letting
the chimney fall upon the latter and pull it,
self upright Tor this purpose he erected q
platform 40 feet from the base, aud with
hammers and chlsels they cut through the
chimney which at this point was OF tho
thickness OF about two feet. As the bricks
were removed from each side. a thinner
course was substituted, and the Intervening
spaces were fllled with iron wedges THIS
WORK lasted Tor about three weeks, aud un-
fortunately the weather was most unfavora-

Naturally causing Considerable alarm, both

neer himself. However, the chimney stood
through il all, and when everything was in
readiness the wedges were withdrawn by
Mr.. Taylor and his three men, and the stack
was brought within an inch or two OF its
perpendicular position. Tue Flushing stroke
was performed on the evening OF the stu In
slant. IL required nice calculation 20 carry
out this work, and Mr.. Taylor is compH-
mented on the eXactness with which he did
IL. He estimated that a quarter OF an inch
would bring over the stack about inches AZ
the top, so that he Lad 10 let Al down about
an inch and half, and had he exceeded his
calculation by one-eighth OF an inch, the
stack would have been brought too far over.
and there is little doubt that AZ would have
