From tn, Speech Of Nj West, Republican clndl-
date for Governor Of Ohio)
Well, now, let US see about greenbacks.
1t has been said, and said right truly,
that deprecated currency cheats some
body. II the currency is inflated some
body Is to be cheated by that initiation.
We found Ourselves at tho close Of the
war 200 degrees above the normal condi.
tion Of specie payment on the ordinary
peace establishment Of our society. The
balloon was inflated and rose to a dan.
gerous height. The descent had to be
made. We could not reach solid pros.
perity without making the descent. 1t
was utterly impossible to maintain our
selves at that giddy elevation. We can
only become permanently prosperous
when We are buildsd upon permanent
foundation. True, bysporadiC and spas.
modic efforts, the balloon may be
started up higher again and again,
after we have made a partial de.
scent, but in the end it must
come down, and the only question is,
whether We will get harder fall when it
first comes down after the second or third
ascent. Wei down now within four
per cent OF the solid hard pan. Shall we
now initiate the balloon and ascend again
10 our former giddy height-or perhaps
to greater height-in order to ascertain
whether we canget down easier? ! think
it is the part Of wisdom when we have
got nearly down from our perilous height
to remain in sight Of land, and try to
continue with safety the descent, rather
than resort TO the needless and dangerous
experiment Of making another ascent, to
see whether we can come down little
easier the next time. tLsughter and ap.
applause.

with cutting box, just cut little OF the
end Of his finger of. He undertook to
show friend, by way Of experiment,
how it was done, and cut two fingers of.

A midd!e-aged woman has called at the

past week to SEQ If there was any mail to

SO great that she explained that she was
expecting somc money from her husband,
who was off on his annual vacation. Yes.

receiving postal card from him. She
retired TO one Of tho windows and read

the best man on earth. Few husbands
would have been as thoughtful as that.

From the LoIaV,lle CourIer-Journal.
Mr., Halstead has not ceased 10 labor.
He is as prompt in his hours and as con-
slant in his work as il he we're yet in the
days Of adolescence. Ilis afternoons al
ways find him at his desk, and it is long
alter midnight when he ceases his daily
laOors. lie is emphatically busy man.
This habit OF constant and unremitting
employment marks Mr.. Halstead's man
ner aud gives him an appearance Of ab.
rHptnCss which is only superficial. He
loves to work and loves to play. The
shell Of his externals Is pretty thick, but
inside there is genial and almost boyish
freshness which surprises and delights
you. AS a writer, Mr.. Halstead is rather
forcible and vigorous than refined and
graceful. He knows what he wants 10
any, sayS 1t, and quits. His idea once ex-
pressed, he does not care to go back and
revNmp it in finer words; he leaves it
as it was first minted in his brain.
His sense Of humor Is very keen, ard he
has way Of expressing his fun hesitant.
ly, as il, like Charles Lamb, he stammered
ii out. Mr.. Halstead Is devoted to his
profession, and though often tempted by
offers Of high political position, has al.
ways preferred his editorial chair to the
more brilliant and stormy life Of politi.
clan or diplomatiSt. At his work, Nj. Hal.
stead is engrossed in it and difficult OF
approach; in his hours of. recreation, he
is great, overgroWn boy, enjoying u
o"real, slar.up holiday" For the benefit
Of the ladies, 1t may be we'll 10 state that
Mr., Halstead is tall, handsomely formed,
and very fine looking, and that, he has a
sort Of h0yden bashfulness which they
will End very taking. grieye to be
obliged also to inform them that he was
married in 1857 to Miss Mary Banks,
second daughter OF Hiram Banks, then
deceased, and that he is the father Of ten
children, nine Of whom still bloom us
olive branches around the parent stem.
