tt4HE Democratic Legislature OF IOuf
years since, passed an act which saved to
the taxpayers of the State over $50, 900
annually; and the next Legislature,
which had Republican majority, and of
which Mr.. Millikan was a member, re-
pealed the act, thereby restoring the for
mer exhor bitant prices received by the
officials in the large countless"
We make the above extract from the
last weeks Register. The editor of that
paper, who was member of the Senate
at the time the bill was passed, and also
at the last session, knows very we'll that
the bill passed by the Democratic Legisla-
ture cut the salaries .ot some of the Off
GERS in the smaller counties down to al
most a starvation price; as, for instance,
in our own county. He knows, also, that
while it deceptively held out the idea that
it was intended to save money to the tax
payers, it really did no such thing. While
it reduced the pay of officials in some OF
the smaller counties, it did not reduce the
fees paid by litigants. Under the Demo
cratic law the amount paid by these par
ties was not reduced; butit provided that
the amount paid by litigants above what
the law provided for paying county Off
cials, should be paid over to the county
treasury, for the benefit of the county
Thus, if the fees paid to county officers
were too large, instead of reducing the
costs paid by litigants, they were virtu
ally taxed for the benefit of the county
1t is very likely the fees under the law
passed by the Republicans, in some in
stances may still be too high; but if tn,
pay of county officers is based upon tn
estimated amountof fees paid by litigants
and that amount would be an exhorbit
ant salary for county officers, would i
not be better to reduce the costs of issu
ing and serving legal papers, and thu
reduce the rates charged for these pur
poses, instead of collecting them and pay
ing them into the county treasury.

y Joe Eyler, the Democratic Representa-
tive in Ohio Legislature, from the Demo-
cratic county of Adams, and the editor
of the Democratic organ of that old hard
shell county, has introduced bill in the
House of Representatives to extend the
term of Sheriffs, Coroners and County
Treasurers, now in office, two years after
the expiration of their present terms; ;
thus, by an act of this Democratic Legis-
lature, electing these officers for another
two years; taking it out of the handsof the
people in their own counties to choose
their officials for themselves. The meas
ure is so preposterous that it meets with
little favor; but it shows the animosity
of some of the party, and what they
would do. if they could without incur
ring the crushing indignation of men
who think they have a righttosohoose for
themselves their public servants. /.

WIrTY MAEGUvRE.-The Duke Of
Gfsmmont was the most sdToit and Wit
ty courtier OF bis day. He entered one
day the closet Of the Cardinal Mszarin
without being announced. His emf
nence was amusing hImseIfby jumping
against the wall. To surprise prime
minister In so boyish an occupation was
dangerous. A less skillful courier
might have stammered excuses and re-
tired. But the duke entered briskly
and cried, ''1'iI bet you one hundred
crowns that ! jump higher that your
-eminence." Add Inc duke and eardi-
nal began to jump for their lives
Grammont took care to jump few
inches lower than the cardinal, and six
months afterwards was marshal Of
France.-HistorieGI Sketches.

A Fourth of July Family.

Mr.. and Mrs. B. Ward, residing at 73I Front
ST.. in this city, have been married a little over ten
years, and their marital union has so far been
blessed with eight children-each of them first
seeing the light of day ON the glorious Fourth of
July, our nations national holiday. We occas-
lonally hear of two or three members of a family
with birthdays falling on one and the same day,
but the cases are rare, indeed-a something SO
unirequent that we are sure the record we hereto
append of the births in Mr.. Wards family will
be read with rare interest by all, and prove itself
a subject OF general wo~nderment, both because of
the redundant fruitfulness with which nature has
smiled upon the family, as well as that all the
births have fallen on the same day Of the year,
and that day the ever-glorious Fourth of july.
The following is the family record:
July 4, lse9-A daughter, Bridget, living
1uiy 1o.i-A son, James. died, aged II months and 9 days
July !, IsI2-A son, Barney, living.
1 uy = 80 SON. died, aged one year and a day.
July Z! !Sao-A daughter, Mary Ann, died aged > yrs and edys
July 4, 1SI6-A son, died, aged three days.
July 1, lS77-A son, Winnie, living.
1t there is another mother in all the land that
has been celebrating the natal day of the country
OF her adoption as periodically as has Mrs
Ward, we would like very much to hear from
her. DR.. Fegely, of the sixth ward is the physi-
clan OF the family, and owing to the regularity
with which the above calls came upon him he has
no idea at all that as long as the Ward family re-
mains unbroken by death there will be omen for
him such a thing as going out of town to parti-
cipate in Il Fouth OF July celebration.-4Xn-
