Last Saturday, the 18th instant, our
worthy omlne Tor congress, Maj. Al
fred NJ. Lay. addressed a large assem-
bly of our citizens at the court house.
Although wearied by an extensive tour
over the district, and hoarseness from
speaking, the address was able and in
tercs,ing. All the living political issues
OF I. e Gav were discussed in a manner
SO clear that 10 n present could tall
to understand them. The stability. po-
litical independence and Uniform pu'-
ity OF the democratic party was contrast
ed with thecorruption and Misunderstanding
course OF the republican party, and the
Instruction and anarchy inevitable if
the greenback organization secured any
thing like 4 toothold. The questions of
finance, free trade and the improve
ment OF western water courses was COM
mented upon in an able and interesting
manner. If Mr.. Lay pursues the course
in congress which he asserts he will, and
| we have eason to believe that he viii.
the seventh district will be rep.
resented in perfect accordance with
the will of a majority of the
people. Although the speaker was
quite lengthy in his remarks. we
have never attended a public gathering
where there was more uniform atten'
ton and seemingly more appreciation
than was manifested at the meeting las'

Some months ago several Methodist
Conferences met in the East, and in their
proceedings action was pretty generally
taken against the use of tobacco. We
have said so much against this sin, that
we have not heretofore referred to the
action of these religious bodies. Here is
little article we cut from one Of our
exchanges at the time.
"In nearly all the spring Conferences
another question has come up-that of
the use of tobacco. 1t seems that the last
General Conference advised the subordi-
nate bodies not to admit any candi-
date for the ministry addicted to that
habit. This new departure appears to
have the approval of majority of the
preachers; but there is minority who in
sist that this is carrying interference with
personal liberty little too far. The
New England Conference being strongly
anti tobacco, found itself in a rather
amusing dilemma. One of the most
promising candidates, the son of pre-
siding elder and doctor of divinity, being g
asked whether he used tobacco, replied
that he did. The Conference, after a
good deal of discussion, compromised the
matter by admitting the young man, and
then passing a solemn resolution that it
would never admit such another"

GOD BLESS THE GIRLS.

Last week widow lady who resides in
the country some miles from town, came
to settle for her Standard. Her daughter,
bright, lively young woman, was with
her. The old lady made arrangements
for what she owed, and then said, she
would have to discontinue the paper, on
account of her circumsta stances. The daugh-
ter urged her to take it another year.
"Oh mother" said she, "how can we get
along without the Standard p The old
lady then inquired if we would take
credit at O.. s. Miller's store. Being as
sured that it would be just as good as
money, she then said we might send the
paper right along. And the girl was
happy. And SO were we.
A young lady who has been taking the
Standard in Scioto county for several
years, let her time expire, and the paper
was discontinued. After she had missed
one paper, we received the following let
ter from her:
"WEBsTER, June 4, 1878.
Mr.. MACKLEY Enclosed you'll find
$I00. Please send me the Standard
I'll take it, live or die. -."
On Thursday we received the following G
letter:
"WEBER P. O.. SCIoTo TP., JACKSON Co., O.
Mr. EDITOR Il am daughter of -.
am IA years of age. Times are so hard
that papa thought he would pay up, and
have your paper discontinued, but I,per-
suaded him that l could not do without
its smiling face. Mamma says she likes
to read Random Thoughts and Personal
Recollections our boys like to read your
abuse of tobacco. We have subscribed
for the Advocate, but like the Standard
the best. l like to read it summer and
winter. In fact, your paper is a welcome
visitor to our family.
Enclosed you will find $2.31. Come
ahead, welcome Standard.

BY MISS JENNIE DEEM.

Whisky is vice that destroys o mans
rest impairs the understanding, exiting
uishes the memory, infames the passions,
corrupts the will and lays the foundation
of all evil and dangerous distempers We
know that whisky has done more harm
than good; it is true. that whisky in
SOME instances is good, in sickness it is
often beneficial, but aside from this
whisky is curse 1t incapacitates per-
son from pursuing his studies, and from
applying to the duties of his calling, be it
what it will. 1t meets with contempt

cumstances were above feeling the ex-

he has family, his children who. by
their father industry and sobriety, might
have made creditable figure in life, are
left to the mercy of the world, and often
exposed to shame and misery and an un-
happy end. Consider, fellow citizens, how
q man can answer this conduct to God,
to his parents, and other relations, to his
wife, to his children and to himself and
still persist in an unnatural and barbar-
Gus vice, which not only makes himself
miserable and contemplate, but transmits
the mischief to his unhappy wife and
children. Add to all this it is vice a
man cannot easily CONQUER or subdue, or
which like some others, may be caused
by age Many thousands have fallen vic
Tins to this low, degrading vice; many
who might have made q creditable figure
in society, are sinking to the vulgar level
of the brute. And how long is this to
last Perhaps for ages to come; but it is
to be hoped that the great temperance
reform which has swept over our land
will be the means of making men or gen
tlemen of those who still persist in the
folly of intoxication. Hard drinking is
a vice which feeds and nourishes itself by
practice, and grows upon a man as he
lives longer in the world, till at last, if ii
cut him not off in the flower of his days
it at least renders the evening of his life
miserable and unhappy
Consider all these things and before il
becomes to late, get the better OF vice
and habit which you will find it difficult
to subdue when it grows to head, and
which will otherwise creep upon you
more and more every day, till it shuts
in misery as to yourself, and contempt as
to the world. Instead of giving cause
even to your nearest and best friends il
will make kindness in them to forget
they ever had in the world, if parent
such son; if tutor, such pupil; if 6
child such father; if friend such 6
wretched one, that cannot be thought o
without pity and regret for having short
ened his days, and ruined his affairs, by
such pernicious and obnoxious habit
What joy, on the contrary, will that no
blest of conquests over yourself yield tc
all your dear relations, and what pleasure
in particular you will give to that agec
heart and declining days of your affec
tionate father.

1t is said that during the search for the
grave-clothes of the late j. Scott Harri-
son, in the Ohio Medical College at Gin
cinnati, the clothing of children and
females was found, showing that the rob-
berry of private graves has been common
practice Il is not pleasing thought to
think that the little body which heart
broken relative has clothed with such
tender care, for its final resting place,
will possibly be torn from its grave,
stripped of its clothing, and placed upon
the dissecting table, to be haggled at by
some sap head who, after cutting it up
could not tell the difference between a
human lung and the stomach of mule.
There should be found some way of reach
ing the mysterious professors, and COM
pelling them to tell what they know of
grave robbing.

We trust that the press of the country
will pursue straightforward course with
regard to the Potter investigation. If
frauds have been perpetrated, let the
bottom facts be brought to light. 1t is
useless to say that any unfair means
could have been employed to make Mr..
Hayes President, and he not be cognizant
of the details If there was any corrupt
bargaining, Mr.. Hayes was as much a
party to it as was Sherman. No sane
man will believe that Mr.. Hayes could
have remained in blissful ignorance Of
what his immediate circle of friends were
doing, during the progress of the count
in the Southern States. We do not
believe however that he knew how much
Stanley Matthews was doing, or he would
have strangled him.
AS a Republican, we can say to Mr..
Potter, "go in" and we shall see after the
close of the investigation, which party is
the better satisfied with the result

We do not wish to be understood as
insinuating that President Hayes is
wag, but if we accept the story of the
witness, Anderson, as true. this language,
written by the President, savors some
what of the sarcastic. President Hayes
was recommending Anderson to the
State Department, for an appointments
and wrote this little note "Please ap-
point this gentleman to Consulship in
warm climate. This is special case"
Coming from Hayes, we are at a loss how
to construe the language. If it had been
written by Gen. Butler, or Deacon Rich
ard Smith, we would have understood it.

When the Potter resolutions were in
troduced into the House of Representa-
tives, they named John Sherman and E.
F. Noyes as implicated in fraud and ras-
cality. Sherman Indignantly denied
ever having written any letters on the
subject, and was in terrible humor
about it. The Hayes organs shouted
with delight, and declared that now
Sherman had 'em-he had beaten all of
them, because he had plead not guilty
But when Anderson was on the witness
stand he produced what purported to
be letter from Sherman, which was Of
most damaging and rascally character.
Sherman hesitated-would neither admit
nor deny. He said he did not think he
