Daily 81 Per Year G5 Cents a Month, or Is
Cents Per Week.


THE COLUMBUS EVENING DISPATCH is
a large daily paper, filled with the latest news
by telegraph, mail and otherwise, and its con-
stantly increasing circulation is evidence of the
favor with which it is received. 1t is indepen-
dent in politics. striving in all things to be fair,
and to give its readers the entire political his
tory of the day. 1t is published every after
noon, at such an hour as to reach almost all the
surrounding towns, and give the residents of
such places all the advantages of daily paper.
1t also has corps of intelligent correspond
ents, who keep its readers fully advised of the
news of the neighborhood.
The Dollar Weekly Dispatch
Is large thirty-six column paper, having but
few advertisements. Its reading matter is OF
the choicest character, and it will be found
valuable addition to every fireside and home.
The low rate at which it is published, places it
within the reach of all. While we would advise
every one as far as possible to take their own
county papers, we urge the claims of the DOL
LAR DISPATCH next being sa atisfied that an
examination of its contents will convince all
of its value q newspaper.
p9rSpecial arrangements will be made for
clubbing with the STANDARD. at 81 20 for both

Little johnny on the OpOssum.

If here is anything in names this
animal comes from Ireland, but them

like they was natif born. Possums has
a sharp nose and long, bald-heded tale,
which is all ways cold, never mind the
wethepl Its jess like their tales was ded

The ola ones has got tobacco pouch. on
TIE outside of their stummuckses, and
Wen tM little ones is afraid they snuggles
in and don't care a copper wot becomes
OF theig old mother which is outside.
When q dog finds possom and it cant
get tok a tree it lays and pretents like

didn't kno possoms found one lyin like
tied; after rollin it over a vile an smellin
il the dog winked his ear much as to say :
Nifty good job for you, old Teller, that
you was dead fore | come along" And
then tHe dog he lay down and went a
sleep. Wen the possum see the dog a

way, isIt jest then the dog woke up. Such
frites dog you never see too, but the
dog most.

influence OF Flowers.

The pleasure of cultlvating a flower
garden, and the particular love for its
products, are OF late growth in me, but
confess it the more willingly because |
think it the result of increasing wisdom
rather than the folly of age. 1t affords d
quiet amusement, full of subjects for OBJ
servation and thought, and find pleas

loose mold that seems to move almost as
if it were alive. We should naturally
have a liking for what we are made of
and for what is made of us, ANA can get
no where so near to ourselves as by con-
tact with the brown mold, that is ma
lures unspoiled and unmanufactured
material, alive with all the wonders of
creation. No laboratory can produce
such wonderful ordinations as the
earth. 1t dissolves, absorbs and Durities
all things. The Parsees who, in their
love and reverence tor the earth, feared
to polute it with any corruption, over
locked its most beneficent attribute. 1t
only purity and beauty. And for lit

gets but give little

pleasure of its constant growth

alone in their Juices. Their "sweet in
fuencesn come nearer and stronger than
that of the Pleiades. They are unrivaled,
too, as friends ard companions. Their
conversation is always in charity and
good sense. Spleen, egotism, envy are
never heard in garden from an ything
that grows out OF the ground. These are
noxious gases that flowers can't abide.

Discovering a Criminal:

A Man BETRAYED BY HIS OWN CURIOSITY.
D$ring the festival of the Bairam, an
inha .itant of the village of Funduckli had
dressed his child, about two years old. in
a shawl ana q cap, ornamented with
pieces of gold, and entrusted it to a slave,
who left il for moment seated in the
courg of the house. On his return the
chile was gone, and every search for il
proved useless. The father applied to the
Chief of Police at Bagdad, entreating him
to ig.quire into the circumstance. This
otiicsr reflected that the child could not
be carried far, on account of his cries, and
THEREFORE must have been taken by one of
the heighbors. He did not communicate
this!idea to any body, but directed one of
his messengers TO go to the village OF
FuLduckli at the hour of PRAYER, TO enter
tho mosque. and summon the imam Ger
prisst1 to come Immediately to his ma
VAR. When the imam came TO the pres
enke of the Chief of PolIce, he received a
po3itive Injunction to come to him again
ondhe morrow. and give him the name of
the person who first came to inquire of
HIN the cause of his being sent for to the
police office. The Turks in general pay
little attention to the affairs Of others, not
eva IN those OF their priests, conse-
quently, on returning to the mosque one
man only came to him TO ask the cause of
sof sudden a summons. Thei imam replied
itsssas only in relation to iirman (deereel
which he was to have read, but which
was withdrawn. Howe5ai. on being in.

A Fatal Explosion.

That it is as dangerous to sleep oyer q
toy shop as over powder magazine was
shown one evening in Paris recently
when small stock of ammunition for
drawing-rcom pistols exploded in the
Rue Beranger with such force that II
brought to the ground house inhabited
by over 100 persons. The terror which
the explosion caused in the immediate
neighborhood was immense; and the al
Ciience in the Troisieme Theatre Franco
is. waiting for the curtain to rise, rushed
from the house in alarm The ground
floor of the house was toy shop ana
mandatory owned by man named
Blanchon. Above the shop there were
twenty eight rooms, all of which were
tenanted, the total number of occupants
being ninty-two; besides the Maison
Blanchon itself, which employed sixty
workmen and women. The explosion
took place, luckily, at the Paris dinner
time, about eight o'clock, so that most
of the people were away. At half-past
nine o'clock followed : second explosion
bringing down the walls of the contigu
Gus houses. This caused another panic
for the moment Many ct the women
had tainted from fright, and were brought
down in the arms oil the french. Others
tore up their sheets and blankets and
made ropes to descend with. One poor
old man who had been paralyzed for years
was rescued just as the floor Of his room
was about to fall in. Three little girls
who had been locked up while the moth
er went out to fetch some bread for din
ner. were found playing in an attic, I'm
conscious of the danger which surround
cd them. Many other striking escapes
occurred, such as that If little girl who
was found buried in the ruins with a Ia

she was found safe and sound. The res

Good Night.

Good night
Now the weary rest by right,
And the busy fingers bending
Over work that seems amending,
Toll no more till morning light

Go to restl
Close the eyes with slumber prest;
In the streets the silence growing,
Wakes but to the watch-horn blowing,
Night makes only one request
Go to rest

Blessed dreams each dreamer greet;
He whom love has kept from sleeping
In sweet dreams now DER HIM creeping
May he his beloved meet
Slumber sweet
Good night!
Slumber till the morning light,
Sumner till the new tomorrow
Comes and brings its own new SORROW
We are in the Fathers sight
