..BELLAIRE.

The most enjoyable entertainment of
the season was given by the Knights of
Pythias last Monday evening, at their
Hall, in : Central Block. Good music,
neat speeches, short but pithy, and an
abundance of everything good to eat,
together with the presence of a large
number of as fine looking ladies as it
has been our fortune to look at and talk
to for many day. The Society is one
we know very little about, except that
for undOubted benevolence and untiring
care of their sick they have no superb

TIE real fight of Ewing, in Ohio, is
against the reviving prosperity of the
times. The good crops, increase in busi-
ness, prosperity in manufactures, enlarge
nent of occupation, improvement in
wages. are so much dead weight to be
lifted by Mr.. Ewing. If times were hard,
wages low, workmen oppressed, and all
things blue and diSagreeable, he would
be in high feather. 1t is worth the while
of all thoughtful people to know wheth-
er such a person represents their best in
tereSts and feelings. Do they need a
Governor in Ohio who will only repre-
sents their best interests and feelings.
Do they need a Governor in Ohio who
will only represent depression of busi-
ness and the loss of prosperity? If bet
ter times have come from other sources,
is it not better to put them where they
can continue to exert favorable infiu-
ence? If resumption has helped, why
not elect the representatives of resump-
ton? If imitation dId nothing toward
helping. why not lay it aside till more
evidently needed? These are practical,
sensible questions. We think they will
stand clearly out before the minds of the
Ohio people, who will have the good
sense to declare that they will have no
experiments, so long as they have reality

1T is distinctly apparent that the
Democrats are almost wild with grief
because Ex-Governor Sprague did not
kill Senator Conkling. 1t makes no diff
ference to them whether the Senator had
been guilty of anything, or any crime,
great or small: all they want Is to get
rid of him as public leader.

been felt there since the memo
rable earthquake which destroy
ed that city on the 18th of Au-
gust, 1868. 1t occurred about
II:5o p. m.-an hour at which
the greater part of the inhabit-
ants were reposing. The fright
was general. The people quick
ly left their houses and rushed
frantically through the streets
fearing repetition of the shock
and the destruction of their
homes. Fortunately nothing
further occurred, but the gener-
al impression was that few
days more would bring serious
news from some other points of
the republic, as it has generally
been the case on other occa-
sions. A long and violent shcck
of earthquake is also announced
as having been felt in Iquique
about midnight on the 18th ult.,
which was accompanied by a
curious subteranean noise, 1t
caused much alarm, particular
ly in the theater which was full
of people at the time.

Few men die of old age. Al
most all die of disappointment.
passion, mental or bodily toll or
accident. The common EXPIRES
sion ..choked with passion has
little exaggeration in it; even
though not suddenly fatal.
strong passions shorten life;
strong-bodied men often die
young; weak men often live lon
ger than the strong, for the
strong use their strength and
the weak have none to use.
The latter take care Of them
selves; the former do not. As #
is with the body. SO tits with the
mind and temper. The strong
are apt to break, or like a cradle,
to run; the weak to run out.
The inferior animals that live
temperate lives have most gen
erelly their prescribed number
of years. The horse lives twen-
ty-hve; the OK fifteen or twenty;
the dog ten or twelve; the rab-
bit eight; the guinea pig six or
seven yesrs. The numbers all
bear similar proportion to the
time the animal takes to grow to
its full size. But man, ofall the
animals, is one that seldom lives
this average. He ought to live
a hundred years according to
physical law. for FIVE times TWEEN
ty is a hundred; but instead Of
that, he scarcely reaches on an
average four times his grow
ing period, the cat six times,
and the rabbit even eight times
the standard of measurement.
The reason is obvious-man IS
not only the most irregular and
incorporate, but the most Iabo-
rieus and hardworked Of all the
the animals. He IS also the
most irritable, and there is rea-
son to believe, though i've can
not tell what al animal secretly
feels, that more than any other
animal, man cherishes wrath to
keep it warm, and consumes
himself with FIRE Of his own Sc
cret reflections.
