COME DOWN WITH THE DUST.

The Ohio Republicans Lecying Tribute on
the National Banks for Campaign Pur
poses.
The following circular letter has been sent
from the Ohio Republican State committee
rooms within the past few days to the pres
idents of the national banks in that State:
COLUMBUS, o., Sept. II, 1878.-Dear sir:
a contest for honest money, and a mainten-
ance of public faith. The opposition is COM
posed of all the enemies of a sound currency
and good government. Ohio is the battle
ground of an ssidea" that, if triumphant,
will have a terrible effect upon
our material interests. To make the
fight we must have more money, es-
pecially in the last ten days of the cam
paign. With the necessary funds we can
organize corps of workers that will GER
tainly give us the State, and elect ten or
eleven congressman, thus turning back the
tide of imitation and consequent reputation.
Now, you can assist us very much by send
ing us $50 or 800, and asking
your wealthy friends to do the
same. It is true, it is small matter to you
and to them, but you will readily see that
number of such contributions will be of
great assistance to us, as the main onslaught
of the enemy will be made upon the national
banks. We need not call your attention to
the danger that threatens this part of our
financial system, the importance of the
impending blow. In a word, sir, we need
pecuniary as istance, and, of course, you
will understand as we'll as the committee,
that whatever is done for us should be done
quickly, as it is expected to be of consider
able assistance to us in the present struggle
for the financial life and prosperity of our
country. We, therefore, hope you Will re-
spond early, and give good sum to the re-
lief of our cause. Yours, respectfully,
J. S. ROBINSON, Chairman.
To, President National ank,-Ohie.

robson is in sad plight. Nominated
for Congress in the First New Jersey district
where there is a Republican majority of
several thousand votes, he thought he would
have walk-over to Washington. Not so,
however, for Hon. Joseph L. Topham, a
staunch Republican and man of irreproach-
able character, has come out as an indie
pendent candidate, and announces that
Robeson's nomination is Objectionable to a
large and influential class of staunch Re-
publicans, who believe his official record was
the reverse of pure. He will take occasion,
he says, to call attention to some of the ex-
secretary's lapses from virtue, and see
whether or not the Republicans of that
district wish to be represented in Congress
by such man. This settles Robson. He
must stay at home.

when one of his family became sick he just
used to sew him up in a blanket and toss
him on the bed until the summons to

SCARCITY OF coFFINs.
The latter part of last week an old printer
in Memphis, named Stephenson, ackpowl-
edged the call of death and went hence.
His daughter, Miss Mary, young lady of
rare sweetness of character, was taken down
on returning from the funeral, and died last
Monday evening. The friends of deceased
who attended to the funeral, upon inquiry,
ascertained that no coffin could be procured
until yesterday morning: When this unwel-
come intelligence was promulgated, the
neighbors created trouble, and insisted that,
if her friends did not attend to the funeral,
she would be buried by them as pauper.
The undertaken was again applied to, but
answered that he
HAD SIX coFF1Ns TO FILL NINE ORDERS,
and that he could not reach her case before
the time above specified. AS last resort,
and to prevent the execution of this threat
made by the neighbors, coffin was knocked
together, and the poor girl laid to rest.

DECEMBER, 1877.

With this month the year 1877 ends. The
closing month has been very remarkable one,
having been the warmest December for ten or
more years, being 43 220. The next warmest
December was 39.660. 10 1873, and from that
down 10 1882 iu 1915. The warmest day was
the 18th, go. The coolest morning was on
lst, 200, AID on the 81. 24'. We had only
two storms of any note. the latter being &C.
compaDied by severe northeast wind, the first
on the 5:b, the other on the Both. The amount
of rain for the month was only .25 inches.
The barometer ranged higher during the
month than usual, more 80 than any December
since 1870. The average being 1916 for the
past eight years, while this December was
2987, which accounts for the small amount Of
rain for the month. 9. GILLINGHAM.
