object of this sch,sl is to "impart pro
fessional know ledge and SKILL" and to
impress the minds of teachers with the
nature and responsibility Of their work.
The teachers training class and spell.
ling exercises conducted every morn
ing by Prof. Ogden. are alone wofth
the tuition fee. There are several
teachers employed in the school, but
from personal knowledge can only
speak OF Messrs. Gregory and McGin
mis-, who are teachers of gentlemanly Y
and courteous manners and competent
and faithful in the discharge of class
duties. Miss Mary 5. Case, daughter
of Mrs. Case, of Columbus, who gave
instruction at the Belmont County In-
stItute, is also teacher here; from her
energetic manner and sweet sOul-lit
cOuntenance we deem her an earnest
teacher.
Prof. Ogden, Principal of the Ohio
Central Normal, ranks high as AN edu-

gagged in teaching and other education

to this work-in the dark hour of our

on work that is of so much benefit to
the educational interests of Ohio
while others, even leaders in the rebel

Should this be So? What is patriotism

Judge West. .
FIom the Ohio State Journal.

ION the OnlO State JOhrnh.
The dark horse at Cleveland turns
out to be Judge West, of Logan. 1t is
no disparagement of any other candi-
date who has been mentioned in ability,
while he is stronger than any of them
in availability. Judge West has been
consistent, straigbtout Republican
from the time the Republican party
came into being. He has been in
prominent position by choice of the
people almost continuously during the
whole lifetime of the Republican party,
and has always more than realized the
anticipations of his most sanguine
friends in every position he has ever
held. He Is warm personal and po-
litical friend of President Hayes. He
is law partner of Gen. Kennedy, whe
served first in the 23d Ohio, Hayes
regiment, and has distinguished him
self as a lawyer and political speaker
since. The firm is one of the ablest at
the Ohio bar. Judge West is also q
personal friend of Judge Taft. He
wrote an opinion on the electoral and
collateral questions, which was for
warded to Attorney General Taft, and
was pronounced by Taft "the ablest"
opinion he had read on the subject.
So much impressed was the Attorney
General with the singular clearness and
ability with which the subject was
treated by Judge West that he inter
ested himself personally in procuring
the insertion of the document In the
leading journals of the whole country.
1t is no unwarrAnted presumption to
say that the speeches of Judge West in
the coming canvass will be of such
character and ability as to attract the
attention of the whole nation, and give
a higher tone to political discussion for
the coming year throughout the coun-
try. r. ra.a

The Clergyman aL>. >'''
baptist Beacon.

III. .." /
A clergyman who longed to trace
Amid his flock work of grace,
And mourned because he knew not wby
Yon fleece kept wet while his kept dry,
While thinking what he could do more
Heard some one rspping at the door,
And opening it, there met his view
A dear old brother whom he knew,
Who had got down by worldly blows
From wealth to peddling csst-off clothes
Come in, my brother" said the pastor,
perhaps my troubles you can master,
For since the summer you withdrew,
My converts have been very few"
81 can," the peddler saiG, ''unroll
Something perchance to ease your soul,
And to cut short all fulsome speeches,
Bring me a pair of your old breeches.
The clothes were brought; the peddler gazed
And said, 'sNo longer be amazed,
The gloss upon this cloth is such,
think, perhaps, you sit too much
Building air castles bright and gay,
Which Satan loves to blow away,
And here, behold as am born,
The nap from neither kr,ee.is worn;
He who would great revivals see,
Must wear his pants out on the knee;
For such the lever prayer supplies,
When pastors kneel their churches rise.

Bleeding the Bishop.

Correspondence OF the New YORK Times.
Mr.. Bishop is grocer, lives in Gin
cinnati, and was expected to carry, by
reason of his personal popularity, the
thickly Inhabited county of Hamilton.
This he can not do, for it is now under
stood that he is least liked where he ia
best known. His friends in the con-
vention-and he WIS supported by
some Of the most disreputable wire
pullers and political trieksters in the
|State-talked a great deal about his inn
mense wealth and his ability and will
lingness to "bleed freely" But even
in this the Democratic faithful have
been deceived. 1t is now known that
Mr.. Bishops immense wealth"
amounts to just about 500, 600, and he
has already stated in confidence to some
of the dear friends who approached
him ON the subject, that he Is not will
ling to spend-indeed, that he will not
spend-mOre than 5000 or $1,000 in
the campaign. This has been q terri
BILE blow to the wire-pullers already
mentioned, for they know from expe-
rience that S10,0 would not pay for
the whisky that must flow before even
Hamilton county can be carried for the
Democracy.

How a Chicago Girl Fixed Him.


"Will you do something to oblige me?" shyly
asked beautiful young woman of timid
gentleman whose acquaintance she had just
made at small social gathering on West
Adams street the other evening.
"Anything that 1 can in honor, miss" he
replied, blushing.
'Well," said she, s'Come into the black par
lor where it is dark, and sit on the sofa with
me, and let me rest my head On your shoulder,
and you pretend to whisper in my ear-only
don't blow, because that tickles and can't
laugh, for this new dress is very tight-aad
when anybody looks you car draw your arm
away-I forgot to- say wanted you to put it
round my waist-and I'll pretend to blush"
"But my gracious, honored mis-" stammer-
ed the young man, after hastily dividing into
1874 and finding that it wasn't leap year, ''good-
ness, before all these people-andI am already
engaged-and your father mrst weigh"
Hush, know what am up to" replied the
artless girl Il am engaged, too, to that young
man talking to the waxeB-face1 thing with
somebody else's hair over there. Iwant to STIR
him up-to bring him down to business-mske
him come up to his milk, that's all,
The young man said that load hao been
lifted from his bosom, and aided her to the best
of his ability, so well indeed, that in three
quarters of an hour the true betrothed got his
girl into the library, and demanded an explana-
ton of her shameless conduct, was softened by
her tears, called himself brute, asked If she
could ever forgive him, and promised to behave
better in future. And how did the young girl
reward the young man who had helped her to
this happiness? Why, she never said word TO
him except to say to her reconciled lover,

Surprising Abandonment by
the Turks.

New YORK, July IL. Cable specials say enor-
nous swindles in prov isioning the Southern Rus
sian army have been discovered. Quantities of
corn are missing, and biscuit and bread are filed
with sand.
A special caple despatch SAYS that the army of
the Danube IS divided into two forces. The first
was allotted the task of crossing at Simnitza and
forcing Shipka Pass. The second will reduce
Rustchuk, afterwards co operating in the siege of
Shuma.
Grand Duke Nicholas wants another bridge over
the Danube.
The Turks now await the Russian onslaug ht at
Rustchuk and Shumla in order of battle.
The excuse for the failure of the Russian cam

PARIS, July IL. Private kilograms from Con-
stantinople announce the death Of Redif Pasha,
the Turkish Minister OF war. No confrmatio is

VIENNA, July IL. The abandonment of the line
ef Gautra by the Turks is the more surprising
since, to judge from the stout defence of the
bridge ana position OF Bella, where the Turks re-
pulsed the first attack of the Russians W it'll con-
siderable loss. 1t might have been supposed they
intended to defend that line and thus BY threat
ening their flank, prevent the Russians from ad-
vancing into the interior.
The Turks have so completely suppressed all
information about the disposition and moveme nts
of their troops, that not even any idea can be
formed OF what they mean to do, but it shows
their utter helpessness, or else very deep laid

sued, but revolutonsts will not be perm tilted to
involve Mexico. Trevino asks that only regulars
