er than was determined by the count as
presented by the Returning Board.
Dwell, what can they do with you
under this resolution
A.-Nothing. The Democrats can
pass their resolution and then they can
do their worst. So far as l am con-
cerned do not fear them. On the con-
trary 1 shall defy them. My action in
the South was purely in the interest of
honest election and public welfare, and
| challenge the closest scrutiny into all
my purposes and acts while was in
that section, pending the canvassing of
the votes.
Q.-Then you do not scareP
A..-Not at all. The Democrats are
heartily welcome to do theirworst. My
intentions and actions were upright,
and have not the slightest fear of any
consequences that may fall upon myself
under this resolution, should it pass, as
it probably will after the Republicans
have shown their opponents that it is
not the easiest thing in the world to
have their own way when they attempt
to perform an act inconsistent with pub
lie peace and welfare, and for which
there is no public necessity.

twice as great as he received in 1876.
Henry S. Neal, of Ironton, is fur
nished with reliable Republican dis
trict.
Col. Van Worries, of Athens, is gerry
wandered into district of S59 demo-
cratic majority, which he will probably
overcome.
The changes in the river districts
have not disturbed Capt. Danford, who
still inhabits strong Republican baili-
wick.
Gen. Jones, of Delaware, is thrown
into a hopeless Democratic district.
Gen. Cox's Toledo district, with its
changed boundaries, was Republican in
1876 by 629 majority, but it must be
classed as doubtful this year.
Col. McKinley's new district is fight
ing ground, but if reelected he must
overcome Democratic majority of $50.
Prof. Monroe's new district yielded a
majority last time of 6,1S1.
Amos Townsend's inheritance, con-
sisting of one county only, could not
be gerrymandered.
Hon. Charles Foster is thrown by the
new-district law into hopelessly DEM
ocratic district. 1t is composed of the
counties of Seneca, Wyandot, Craw-
ford, Marion, Morrow and Hardin, and
in 1876 it gave Democratic majority
of 3,46S. Foster would not mind
thousand or so of an adverse majority,
but he will not want to make fight
with such heavy odds as this against
him.
Gen. Garfield has Mahoning County
added to his district, and Portage, his
old home, is cut off and tied to the
Democratic counties of Stark, Wayne
and Ashland. Mahoning used to be in
his district but was detached after the
last apportionment. Itwas always the
seat of a good deal of bitter hostility
to Garfield. His move from Portage to
Lake County proves an exceedingly
lucky one. Lake cannot be detached
from the strong Republican counties
around her without floating her out into
Lake Erie, so is protected against the
rage of Democratic Legislatures.

The Farmer and His Money.

The farmers who /" lifted the mort
cages from their land during the flush
times caused by the war were the fort
unate ones; while those who went into
debt have generally failed. In view of
the prosperity of the farming class dur
ing the past year, it is well to remem-
ber this experience. A combination of
causes has produced fair prices, in con-
junction with an immense crop. But
the Rural World reminds the farmers
that "the European war will not last
always; that next year perhaps there
will be a larger crop in Great Britain
than has been produced in fifty years;
that but a very small portion of our
crops may be wanted abroad, and in
the very lowest prices may
prevail for all our farm crops" TO be
forewarned is to be forearmed. Farm
ers, therefore, who take in money for
their crops this year had better pay
their debts. Instead of incurring new
debts, pay off the old ones. Get m an
independent condition. The farm will
always make an industrious farmer a
good living. Resolve to owe no man a
cent Pay as you go, and peace of
mind that the debtor cannot enjoy will
be yours. N Y CmomercidE.

Secretary Sherman on the Investigation
Resolution.
WAsHINGToN, MAY lf

WASHINGTON, May l6.
The National Republican to-day pub
fishes the following interview with Sec
retary Sherman relative to the pending
Potter investigation resolution. In re-
ply to question as to what he thought
was the real purpose of the resolution,
the Secretary replied that it looked very
much as if the Democrats were engaged
IN manufacturing ammunition for the
fall campaign, irrespective of due
regard for the character of the material
used, after which the interview pro-
ceeds as follows:
Q.-Do you think this movement
aimed at the Presidents title?
A.-Not at all, for that is irrefraga-
bly, established by authority of law
which must be abrOgated before the IT,
tie can be approached. Be assured that
it does not really point in that direction,
but it is makeshift for Democratic
capital for campaign purposes.
Q.-Ihe newspapers say that it is
aimed at you and Gov. Moves and other
statesmen who visited Louisiana and
Florida pending the electoral count in
those States, with view of bringing
you into disrepute.
A.-Yes, l know the papers saw so.
but none of these things move me. /

right and justice. Itwas generally un-

both those States to Hayes, and, having

solely with the view, If possible, TO Sc

l devoted much time and careful atten-
ton TO the subject, and / am firm in
the conviction that the result as de-

justice to the Republican ticket. Our

precincts, some of which were terribly
bulldozed, would have been much larg-

Glaring inequalities of population APP
pear in this arrangement. For instance,
the Ninth District. with 145, ,872 inhab-
itants, is bordered on one side by the
Fourth, with only 126, ,054, and on the
other by the Tenth, with 121, 100. A
county could easily have been taken
from the Ninth and given to one of
these short-weight districts, but this
would have marred the gerrymander
| scheme.
A fair degree of symmetry is pre-
! -,
there are few with outrageously
ragged outlines. Thus the Tenth is
shaped like pair of saddle-bags. 1t
extends from the Ohio River almost up
TO Columbus, and is broad at both ends,
with narrow connecting strip in the
middle. To overcome the heavy Re-
publican majority in Portage County

ties district is made called the Six

A number of points of interest are
developed by looking at the new dis
tricts in their relations to the present
Representative. No Democratic men,
ber is thrown into district which gave
a Republican majority in 1876 except
Banning, whose changed district gave
1852 majority for Hayes. Two Demo
cratic members, Dickey and Ewing, are
now in close districts, the former with
514 Democratic majority and the latter
with 500. Five Republican members,
Gardner, Van Worries, Jones, Mckinley
and Foster, are placed in Democratic
districts, and one, Cox. is in a district
that is doubtful, with Democratic prob
abilities. To go little more into de-
tails:
Gen. Banning loses strong Demo
cratic ward that Sayler may be strength
ened and made secure, the Democrats
not wishing TO risk the loss of both the
Cincinnati districts.
Mills Gardner (Rep.), of the old
Third, is now in the strong Democratic
Ninth, together with Gen. Jones, of the
old Ninth, so two Republican birds are
killed here with one stone.

Saving Manure.

Every day develops something new
and valuable fer the farmers. Not one
in ten thousand would have thought of
the following plan for saving manure
and adding to the comfort of his stock.
Mr.. Gindings, of illinois, who recon-
mends it, proceeds in this manner: He
fills a stall or large bin in his stable
during dry weather with pulverized
clay, road scrapings and common soil.
With this he covers the floor of the stall
three inches in depth, and then places
the litter for the animals bedding omit.
BY this means all the urine will be alb
sorbed, and its wealth of nitrogen saved;
and such is the absorbing power of
dried earth that one three-inch flooring
will not be so saturated in long time
as to require replacing. He says his
experiments require but one bin of pull
verized earth to absorb the urine of ten
or twelve cattle during the stabling
season. and that two men with team
filled the bin in one day. One ton of
the saturated earth is worth the same
weight of even fresh-saved dung. The
average amount of plant food thus saved
is fully double, and in much better con-
dition for use.-JournaI of the Farm.

Stammering.

The Paris DebatS publishes some Curl
GUS statistics of stammering in France.
Of 2,086,826 conscripts examined in
twenty years, from 1850 to 1869, there
were 1925 exemptions ON account of
this defect. There were about 700 per
annum before the new Recruiting law,
and they have reached 1000 since the
whole force has been subjected to exam
ination. tits calculated that tstammering
affects 125 per 130, 900 persons in France.
1t is more common in the south than in
the north, reaching, for instance, the
proportion of more than Is per L.
600 conscripts in the Basses Alps and
Bouches du Rhone; while in the Depart
ment of the Haut Rhin the proportion
is only .63 per 1000. This difference is
attributed to education being more wide
spread and the pronunciation more at
tended to in the orth than in the south
of France. 1t is pointed out that as long
as exemption from military service is
accorded on account of the defect there
will be little desire on the part of par
ents TO get their children cured of it. In
recent report TO the Minister of Pub
lie instruction, M. Chervin dwells on
the necessity of abolishing this exemp-
ton on account of a deficiency he CON
siders to be durable by merely obliging

Romance of a MiChigander.

A farmer boy from Michigan has at
once created a real-life romance for
"Our Boarding-House," and made a
hero of himself in a small way. His
experience reads very like fiction, and
is all the more interesting because it is
not fiction. The boy, who is nineteen
years old, green as Michigander can
be, and stout as any horse on his farm,
took notion to become New York
merchant. He owned handsome farm,
but he caught the metropolitan and
mercantile diseases, rented his farm.
and resolved to make total change of
business. He had an uncle in business
here, and the wife of that uncle chanced
to be our landlady, who manages one
of those colossal boarding-house in
which in this city of boarders abounds.
To this uncle the young farmer wrote,
stating his plans, and asking as to the
prospects of place in the uncle's
establishment. The answer was to
wait till the coming fall, when trade
would set in more briskly; meanwhile
leaving opportunity to gather the sum-
mer crops and get so much more ahead.
Nothing further was heard from the
nephew, and it was thought he had ac-
cepted the advice On the contrary,
he packed his trunk and came on, with
out informing his relatives of his in
tention. He arrived in town two
months ago, with the idea of looking
about for himself, to see what he could
do in an independent way. The first
thing he did was to buy morning pa
per. In that morning paper, seeming
ly destiny had ordained, his aunt had
an advertisement calling for man of
all work, whose chief occupation was
to wash dishes. No sooner did the
Michigan boys eye strike that head of
Wanted than he decided to answer
at once, and apply for the position. 1t
is necessary to say here that neither
uncle Lor aunt had seen their nephew
since his babyhood, so that the way to
deceive them was open and easy. The
nephew applied for the servants place.
He admitted that he knew nothing
about housework, but said he was quick
to learn. There was something about
his frank, honest country manner that
impelled the landlady to try him, and
he was Immediately installed as chief
dishwasher. He did his work well, was
never tired when the 700 or 800 dishes
came clashing around him, and took a
strange interest in tightening his mis-
tress' burdens. He had desired 10 find
out in his way what sort of people his
relatives were. If he did not like them,
he would go back to Michigan. If he
did, time would make him right. Well,
he liked them largely, and himself be-
came fayorite. His CHEEKY ways and
checkered-fannel shirt were features
that grew TO be noted by every boarder
who took an occasional peep into the
kitchen. Two months of service ex-
pired the other day. When he was

People generally desire long life and good
health Sickness and premature death are al
most always due to violations Of the laws that
govern our physical being, and of which the
masses are ignorant. II men knew better
they would do better; but how can they avoid
an evil that they know not of While efforts
are made through the public shOols to give
each child q so-caled common English educa-
ton, yet the children are permitted TO grow
up and enter upon the responsible duties of
active life, profoundly ignorant Of the struc-
ture of their own bodies, and the laws Of ply
steal being upon which their health and lives
depend. They are sent to school and crammed
with arithmetic, grammar, and geography, by
teachers who, In many instances, have never
studied physiology and hygiene. They are
taught to locate the mountains and trace the
rivers of foreign countries, but are never
taught to locate the vital organs and glands of
their own bodies, or trace the veins, arteries,
and nerves, in their various ramiicatons.
They are instructed in the flow OF the tides,
and the course OF the ocean currents, and the
philosophy of winds and storms; but they
have no correct conception Of the relative eff
fects upon their health of breathing pure or
impure air, nor has their attention ever been
called to the importance Of keeping their
bodies clean and healthy by regular bathing
The criminality of such neglect in teaching
becomes apparent when we consider that the
masses, ignorantly violating the laws of
health, bring upon themselves sickness, suffer-
ing and death, that might otherwise be avoid

into being any work that is calculated to inn

We find DIR. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser to be just such work. 1t is physio-
logical and pathological, and the major part
OF 1t should be converted into textbook for
the use of common schools. Its careful study
will enable the healthy to preserve their health,
and the sickly to regain health. Every parent

truths it contains. Were this done much
