The Ohio Convention.

The Republicans of Ohio in convention
at Cincinnati, on the 18TH nominated Mil.
ton Barnes for Secretary of State, Judge
William White for Supreme Judge, and
George Paul for Board of Public Works.
On the important public questions that are
at present agitating the public mind, the
following resolutions were adopted:
FtndnceS.-The financial question having
been disposed of by Congress, and the
country ut present needing r, pose in order
that capital may seek investment, and that
industries may revive, thus increasing the
demand for labor, the situation ought TO be
accepted, and we oppose the further ngita.
tlon OF the question at this time as iniur-
ious to business and devoid of other than
evil results.
InduaTy.-A tariff for revenue should be
maintained and so ad justed as to secure i'm.
cldental protection to home industry. True
economy requires that the government
should make sufficient appropriation to
carry forward the work on all public build
ings without delay, and this should ts-
pecIally he the aim when the supply of
labor is in excess of the demand. The
mining interests of Ohio require an in
spection intelligently administered and we
condemn the action of the Governor i'm
prostitutng that department, the object of
which should be to protect life and promote
the comfort oil miners, to mere partisan
purpose.
InCeStigdtiOn.--The revolutionary move
ment inaugurated under cover of inyestiga-
tlon, but really aS an attack upon the Presi-
dents title, calculated as il is to Mexicanize
the affairs of this country, to cause general
dlstrust, to PROSTATE our industries, and
aggravate and prolong the distress of labor.
ing and industrial classes, we unqualifiedly
condemn. President Hayes having been
duly elected, and his title subsequently,
settled under the Constitution, 6y the
highest tribunal, and by the act Of both
political parties, it can not be questioned;
and we recognize in his administration the
highest integrity and patriotism; the most
sincere effort to promote political purity
and harmony, and to secure general bust
ness prosperity throughout the whole
country.

Origin OF Certain Flowers.

In an article on flowers in the River
side Magazine, we learn the climate and
country from which many of our most
beautiful flowers have come. Some of our
flowers came from lands of perpetual
summer, some from countries all ice and
snow, some from islands in the ocean.
Three OF our sweetest exotics came orig
inally from Peru; the camelia was car
ried to England in 1879, and few years
afterward the heliotrope and mignonette
Several others came from the Cape of
Good Hope; very large Gala was
found in bitches there, and some of the
most brilliant geranium. The verbena
grows wild in Brazil, the marigold is an
African flow r, and great number are
from China and Japan. The little Daphne
was carried 10 England by Captain
Ross from almost the farthest land he
visited toward the North Pole.
Some of these plants are quite changed
in form by cultivation, others have only
become larger and brighter, while
others, despite of all the care of florists
and the shelter of lighthouses, fall far
short of the beauty and fragrance of the
tropics. Among improved ones is the
dahlia. When brought to Europe il was
very simple blossom, a single circle of
dark petals surrounding a mass of yell
low ones. Others, with scarlet and
orange petals, were soon after trans.
planted from Mexico, but still remain
simple flowers. Long years of cultiva-
ton in rich soil, with other arts of skill
full florists, have changed it to what it
now is-a round ball of beauty.
