Especially are we proud of our new

the perfection OF its work recommends 1t above
and beyond any other job press we have ever had
anything to do. 1t is manufactured at the Can
ton Novelty Works. Ohio, and is fast becoming
very popular with printers. In mechanism and
appearance 1t is different from any other press
made; the simplicity of its construction renders
it almost an impOssibiity to get out of repair. A
novel feature about this press is, there is not q
cam in the machine, all its motions are direct
the device for giving impressions to the mixing
rollers is also new as more or less impression can
be given at once to all the linking rollers by sim
ply turning O screw. The working parts are built
on two horizontal steel bars, capable of sustain
ing tensile strength of fifty tons each without
fracture The impression is made by a powerful
toggle, giving dead dwell on the impression
the whole force is eXerted upon these stee
bars. No springing of the bed or platen can pos
sibly be had, and Its simplicity, strength, power
and ease of running will readily commend 1t tC

A RARE MUSICAL TREAT


It is not often that our city is visited with a
really meritous concert troupe, and when we an
nounce that the Swedish Lady Vocal Quartette
will give one of their unique entertainments in
the Opera House on February 7th, we know, by
the ereputation of the troupe that our citizens will
be treated to a concert composed of rare musical
talent. The following is what the Cleveland
Leader says Of them:
1t was one Of the most perfect and interesting
musical entertainments ever given here. 1t was
something new in Cleveland TO hear four exquis-
itely cultured female voices, without any accom-
paniment or even tuning fork to fix the key
note blending like the chords Of delicately
tuned instrument, and singing with unity and
precision that defes the most critical ear to catch
single false or discordant note. So perfect was
the harmony that 1t was difficult at times to Judge
by the ear alone whether there was one voice or
two or four. clear fresh soprano mezzo-
soprano which seemed its shadow and counter.
part strong, rich alto, and contralto of extra.
ordinary depth and richness; these are elements
which, under careful and scientific training, are
blended and combined In this wonderful quartet.
The Quartette is to appear under the manage
ment of our enterprising fellow citizen, 8. ".
Courtney, who has secured them for the above
date.

THE MAN WHO WAS NEVER ELECTED.

Oh, hard Is the row that man has TO hoe,
When fairly for office selected;
But harder by far Ia the WearlsOme war
or the man who was never elected.
When perjury, fraud, and the like are abroad
Which an army OF partisans welded;
| Injustice and crime may succeed for time,
And roguery safely be shielded.
Then wrong may have way, aud a lie may hold
sway,
And, by bayonets sternly protected,
In dark, evil hour, the thieves may give powa
To the man who was never elected.
But hard Is the way OF transgressors, they say,
And greatly he errs who suppOses
That fraud can endure, or It's future be sure,
Or roguery rest upon roses.
No matter how strong may be falSehoOd and
wrong,
In time will their sin be detected
And the angel Of wrath always shadows the path
OF the man who was never elected
No matter how meek, how SC 7 or how sleek,
The tool that rascRlity uses
He still will be known, though Safe.on his throne,
The one that the ballot refuses.
In vain he may plead he did not do the deed.
And never with crime was connected.
He plucked and he ate, which brings Adams fate
To the man who was never elected.
With sweet mush and milk, with velvet and silk
He may temper his dress and his diet;
Though all things be nice, lacking honestyssplce,
Yet the people will never be quiet.
Though deep as the sea, truth buried may be,
1t will be In good time resurrected
And the stigma Of ghamn will hn AVad IN tha
name
OF the man who was never elected.
Oh hard is the row that man has to hoe,
By the voice the people directed
But harder by far is the Wearisome war
0fthe man who was never elected

AKRoN.-The Pardee case is to be forwarded at
once to the Supreme Court at Columbus for decl-
sion. What is desired by the attorneys for the
prosecution In the recent case is to have the Su-
preme Court decide whether the concealment
or holding of goods with the intent to obtain a
reward from the owner does not constitute lar
ceny. A recent decision given on a somewhat
analogous but not exactly parallel case, was that
such an act could be rightly called larceny, and
1t is claimed by the attorneys in the present case
that there is much stronger ground for such de-
clslon in the matter which they will bring up
than in the case previously decided.

THE LITTLEs OF LIFE,-A great many people
think the little things in this life are unimporant
and unworthy of attention or consideration.
They seem to forget that the greatest enterprises
commenced small and built up; that unless they
can do something remarkable, they must do
nothing at all, The greatest and largest rivers are
made up Of small tributaries but these small
ones, flowing on, are met by others, and In their
course eventually flow into and make up the
great body of water that carries on its bosom the
commerce of States and Nations. While purposes
and aspirations are right and proper, and when
properly guided and guarded they give tone
aud symmetry to character 1t should be the de-
sire of all to attain the greatest degree of moral
and intellectual excellence, for in the develop
mant of these two qualities combined we find the
most perfect type of humanity. Let the object Of
your life be noble and pure, and when once de-
cided upon, employ all the energies of your mind
and heart in Its successful accomplishment Let
the tributaries have their appropriate place. new
er get discouraged, but with energy, earnestness
and sincere conviction that you are right pur.
sue your course,
