Dogs for Food.

It has been predicted by some philo-
sophie dietists that dogs will yet become
favorite food in civilization. They con-
tend that the dog is not only very pal
a,able, but that he is nourishing and
entirely wholesome, and that, when
young and tender, he cannot he distin-
guished from the best mutton. He
ought to be cheap, too, no slight recon-
mendation, for be is very abounding
animal, especially in our large cities.
He is destroyed here in the pound every
year by thousands, when he might be
put on the market aud bring a fair price.
Nobody, of course, would think of kill
ing and cooking valuable or favorite
beast; but hundreds Of dogs, justly COM
ing under the head of worthless ours,
would cease to be worthless if they were
served for the table. Ayoung dog would
be as appetizing, though he were of
vulgar stock or even mongrel, as if he
were blooded and of pampered origin.
Thus the question. what shall we do
with all the dogs? would readily be
answered, and most satisfactorily.
They are eaten, it is said, in parts Of
Northern Europe and of Asia, as we'll
by the Chinese and our own savagcs'
They are classic, also, having been high;
ly relished by the ancient Romans and
Greeks. Many old writers-Galen and
Hippocrates, the famous physicians
among them-speak highly of dog meat,
and regarded it as very healtbful. In
another century we may consider il
choice delicacy. Food is largely gov.
erned by prejudice. One nation eats
what another nation abbors the city
often prizes what the country would moi
touch. We have dietetic bias against
dogs, unquestionably; but it might be
overcome. Any of US may have enjoyed
them as dishes unconsciously. Indeed
there is probability that We have, if We
have resided much in Paris.

WHAT MAKES THE MAN.--Many
people seem to forget that character grows
that it is not something to put on,
ready made with manhood /; but day by
day, here little and there little, grows
and strengthens with the strength, until,
good or bad, it becomes almosta a coat of
mail. Look at man of business
prompt, reliable, conscientious, yet clear
headed and energetic. When 90 you
suppose he developed all these admirable
qualities When he was little boy;
Let us see the way in which q boy of
ten years gets up in the morning, works,
plays, studies, and we will tell you just
what kind of a man he will make. The
boy who is late at breakfast, and late at
school, stands n poor chance to be n
prompt man. The boy who neglects
his duties, be they ever 80 small, and
then excuses himself by saying, "for-
got! I didn't think w will never he reli-
able man. And the boy who finds pleas.
ure in the suffering of weaker things will
never be noble, generous, kindly man.

A lady was the mother of a bright
little boy about three years old. The
whooping cough prevailed in the neigh
borhood, and the mother became very
much alarmed lest her boy should take
it. One night, after the little fellow had
been pu. to bed and to sleep, jackass
was driven past the house, and when just
opposite set up his he-haw, he.haw,
he.haw. With shrek the little fellow
was out of his bed, screaming at the top
of his voice: "The whooping-c cough is
coming, mamma: the whooping- cough
is coming" He didpc. catch it that
time, though.

Peter Cooper.

If any one man, above all others,
has a warm place in the affections Of
the Laboring people of this country,
that man is good old PETER CoorER.
His interest in their welfare has led
him into so many honest, careful,
thoughtful and intelligent efforts for
their promotion, that no man thinks
of calling in question the integrity of
his purposes, and a large share Of
the public have implicit faith in the
soundness of his reasoning. The

an account Of an interview with Mr..
/ Cooper, in which the old patriarch
regards the financial question Of vi
tai Importance to the industrial in

the demands Of the Democratic plat

was made whole for the amount of

to the present time! This they
claimed could not be done. The
meeting adjourned to. Columbus to
consult the higher authorities, and
it was then agreed that the Bond

Farmers!

The following. which we clipfrom
the Harrisburg pa. Patriot, tells
a sad story in brief, but terrible Ian
guage:
"The First National Bank Of Clar-
ion advertises for sale thirty farms,
situated in that county, embracing
about 5000 acres of the best farm
land in the county. This large
amount of property was purchased at
sheriff's sale, on liens to secure mon
ey loaned"
1t is a sickening commentary on
that hard, grinding, cast-iron policy
of Republicanism which is so rapid
ly hurrying the country to the brink
of utter ruin. 1t is but a folfetaste
Of what farmers and workingmen
throughout the country may expect
in the near future, unless John Sher-
man is arrested in his ruinous finan-
cial course. Just think Of it for a
moment! Thirty families in one To-
cality turned out upon the world to
beg or starve that the Money Kings
may fatten on their misery! And
what has been done in Pennsylvania
is now being done all over the coun-
try. Silently and insiduously the
National Banks are gathering unto
themselves the farming, manufactur-
ing and other wealth of the country.
Slowly but surely they are weaving
a net of iron about the laboring
classes of the land, and just so sure
ly will this iron network close about
and utterly crush them unless they
choose the only means of.escape now

The fact that BENJAMIN LEFEvER
was almost unanimously elected to
represent the people of Shelby coun-
ty in the State Legislature, and that
he was the choice of the Democracy
of Ohio in 1856 as their standard
bearer for Secretary of State, ought
to be sufficient to make every Dem,
ocrat solid against the ISLANDERS and
lies of the Republican thieves and
the disappointed sore heads and
black-mailers, who profess to be con.
scientious Democrats!

The records show that in the two
sessions Of the Forty-fourth and one
session of the Forty-ffth Congress,
covering three years, the Democratic
House has cut down the appropria-
tions, compared with those made by
the Republicans for the three proceed
ing years, $SS, 270,236.47! That is
something to boast Of. But it does
not tell the whole story, for this
great reduction was not as great as
was demanded by the Democratic
House, bnt only represents the con-
cessions that the House was able to
secure from a protesting Republican
Senate. If the hills had become laws
as they passed the House there
would have been a saving $143, 1885,

ed over ISL. 000, 000, 600 to the House
bills against the protests Of the Dem

tentative but to accept the increase
or see the appropriation bills fail,
and E~ecessitate an extra session of
Congress.

The business interests of the coun-

afford to run the slightest risk of
losing control of the House, In the
present state of affairs people should
pause and think twice before they
form any affiliations which may di-
minish the chances of Democratic
victory. The very interests which
they profess to hold before all others
are those they will most imperil by
a loss of the House to the Republi-
cans, while no side movement can

Gen. THos. EWING, the able and
eloquent advocate of Greenbacks, ad-
dressed the people in the Court
House in Eaton on Friday evening
last, in a speech of two hours, full of
argument and facts, which demolish-
ed the sophistry and falsehoods of
the Resumption-C ontractionists like
. tornado! He was listened to with
profound attention by a Court House
full of people, among them many of
the old and solid thinking men of our
county, and quite a number of Re
publicans, who know there is a 'screw
loose' somewhere. We are satisfied
his speech will bear fruit, because it
was addressed to the reason of his
hearers, not their passions and preju-
dices, and his propositions were dis
cussed with a clear calmness which
carried conviction with them
Among the audience were hundreds
Of laboring men, who earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow,
and we know they all went away full
ly convinced that their only saliva
ton was in the success of Democrat
ic measures, and democratic men.
He wound up his able address by
paying a very deservedly compliment
to Gen. LEFEvER, our candidate for
Congress--said he had been intimate
ly acquainted with him for several
years, and that he was satisfied he
would make US an honorable and
worthy representative, and that it
was the duty of every Democrat to
vote for him. Mr.. LeFever being
present was then loudly called for
and stepped forward, but made only
a few remarks owing to the lateness
of the hour. Every body went away
well pleased with the meeting.

The ticket presented by the Dem
ocrats of Preble county for the sup
port of the people, is an excellent
one-made up of men well known,
honest and capable. HENRY SHIDE-
LER for Probate Judge, will make a
first class officer, and will fill the po-
sition with honor and credit. JOHN
TOWNSEND for Clerk, has been 'tried
and not found wanting" and it is
unnecessary for us to say that a more
competent and obliging officer never
occupied a public trust in Preble
county. Look at his record and
compare it with his predecessors.
MARTIN SwIsHER for Sheriff the Of
fee sought the man, and industrious,
honest, sober and solid farmer, who
would make a careful and obliging
officer, and render satisfaction to all
who will be unfortunate enough to
come under his official jurisdiction.
JAMES CAMPBELL for County Com
missioner, will make a prudent
guardian of the public funds of the
Taxpayers of the county, and dis
burse them in such an economical
manner as to "do the most good and
give the best satisfaction. He would
be the "right man nthe right place.
JAMES DEEM for Inflrmary Director
could not have been bettered. The
people are all clamorous for a change
at this institution-the present in
cumbent has been there too long, and
no one can dispute that MI. Deem
will not be a wholesome and happy

and will discharge his duties TOWARD

Farmers, Mechanics and Laboring
Men, don't you know that you never
experienced such times in this coun-
try before? Don't you know that
the Republican party has had unin-
terrupted control of the government
for sixteen years? And don't you
know that all their legislation has
been against the Laboring classes
and for the benefit of the rich Bond
holder? Do you want it continued?
If you do, vote for WILSON, for he
said in his speech here that he in
dorsed it all and would vote to con-
tinue the same legislation.
