THE Detroit Tribune thinks If Ohio
raises larger crop Of great men to the
acre than her sister Commonwealth
she also produces more idiots. 1t comes
to this incorrect conclusion because at a
convention of officers of idiotic asylums
held at Columbus, statistics were read
showing that Ohio had four hundred and
thirty idiots in her asylums, while the
largest number OF any other State was
two hundred and forty In Pennsylvania.
The Tribune's error arises from the fact
that Ohio promptly puts her idiots in
asylums, while Michigan and many other
States allow theirs to edit newspapers
or 60 to the Legislature, and they are
therefore lost sight OF in the count.

On February % last, as the British
iron screw steamer knight Templar,
bound for Bombay, was steaming along
in the Mediterranean, off the Gut Of
Tunis, about eleven miles from the
Island Of Galita, she suddenly sustained
totally unexpected shock. A deep
rumbling noise was heard beneath the
sea, resembling tue sound caused by
blowing of water below the surface
from boiler. This noise lasted about
a minute, and was accompanied by a
seething mass of white foam. The
steamer was found to be filling rapidly,
and the Captain at once steered for the
Island OF Gallta, where the vessel was
run ashore. BY diving it was found
that ten feet OF her keel had been torn
out near the stem, and sixteen feet OF
the after part OF the keel tWis ted. The
cause of the disaster is supposed TO
have been a submarine volcanic explo.
sion, the ship, while in one thousand
tathoms OF water, being struck Nv the
upheaYed rock.

We know that a disordered stomach
or liver produces more suffering than
any other cause. We know that very
few physicians ars successful in their
treatment OF these disorders. We know
that DaCosta's Radical Cure will, with

mediately relieve and permanently cure
all oil these distressing symptoms. We
know of thousands who are willing to
testify that wnat we say is true to the

when Federal oflice-holders are to learn
that managing conventions is not part
OF their official duties. Another slight
distinction between our situation and
that referred to in the above paragraph
is that Federal otfice-holders here feel it
as much duty to help manage Demo-
cratic Conventions as those Of their own
party. They are little more on the sly
in the Democratic fights, but just as
earnest and have just the same interest
at stake. Their instructions are gen.
eral. They are to help keep friends of
the ring in municipal Offices without
caring to which party they claim to be-
long.

are not permitted by the President to

trouble, SO far as this county at least Is
concerned. There still remains with US
a large assortment OF gentlemen, not
Federal appointees, who will volunteer
10 manage the conventions and make
the states. 1t will be time enough TO get

There is war between Mr.. John Shilli-
to and Mr.. Fred. Voigt, who keeps a
saloon at the northwest corner Of RICE
and George streets, on the ground upon
which Mr.. Shillito is about to erect his
monstrous business store.
Voigt, in December last, obtained a
lease on the house at present occupied
by him, and was willing TO let Mr.. Shi =
Tito tear it down provided the latter
would offer him 500 as compromise.
Mr.. Shillito objected, and Voigt stuck
to his premises.
Day before yesterday the former OBJ
tanned from the Board of Insecure Build
.lngs an order to tear down The building
as it was sin an unsafe condition"
K The tearing-down process was imme-
diately begun, when Mr.. Voigt checked
matters by obtaining an injunction or
dering Mr.. Shillito to stop. The work
was consequently stopped last even.
