TIE working men of Ohio have been
taught by the Nationals that Secretary
Sherman is largely responsible for the
distress they are experiencing, and
they are unwilling to listen to any de-
Tense from him. They refused to hear
his speech st MIlburn's wagon factory,
and to make the rebuke more pointed
sat quietly after he had concluded and
listened to speeches from prominent
Republicans who were in the house.
Sherman and his policy are no longer

IT is well to give the government
the enormous power now welded by
the national banks. The bankers make
it appear that the business Is very
profitless, and therefore the stronger
the reason, since they are good and

onerous duty of supplying the coun-
try to the Treasury itself.

JOCKS WIFE.

MIR. AND MRS. ELLIOT were an
lVI old couple, full of old habits and
feelings and prejudices, yet they had a
certain aroma of youth about them and
were fond of young people. Both were
endowed with very large share of
worldly prudence, which had the effect
of delaying their marriages till late in
life. Perhaps they had not thought of
it sooner; but, at any rate, Mr.. Elliot
had waited till $50 far as anything is Sc
cure) he had secure competency before
he asked cousin of his wn, of nearly
his own age, to marry him.
This late marriage had given them u
long spun-out youth, and it had also
given them a second spring-a spring,
but it was not followed by summer
Neither might acknowledge this, but
felt it. The Elliots were rich in nieces
and nephews, among whom they were
Nelly and John - they might be
addressed as Aunt Nelly and Uncle
John, or as Mr.. and Mrs. Elliot, but all
their young connections, speaking of
them among themselves, called them
Nelly and John.
Very great men are known by their
Christian names, and very little men
who are generally well liked; if people
are not very great and not very ridicu-
lous, and are generally known by their
first names, it means that they are
lovable.
Lizzie Elliot was her fathers eldest
daughter, and the only child by the first
marriage, but this was fact that had
been lost sight of in the family; even
her stepmother seemed to have forgot
ten it, and her eldest brother-Jock, as
he was called to distinguish him from
