A Sweet Girl-EditOr.

Says the Cincinnati Commercial:
Among the members of the Ohio Editor
ial Association present in this city last
week was Miss Lille C. Darst, editor
and publisher of the Circleville Herald.
Several ladies are editorially connected
with newspapers, but Miss Darst is the
only woman in the State who publishes
a paper as well as edits it. She has alb
solute management of every thing in the
Office, business and literary, buys her
own paper, attends to all advertise.
ments, and collects her own bills. She
gets More money to do the collecting
herself, she says. She attends to BUSH
ness in a business-like way, and her pa
per is doing well financially. In ap-
pearance Miss Darst is mere bit OF
girl, not looking much past 20, but she
has had sole charge of the Herald for
four years. 1t IS a political paper, of
the Republican faith. Its girl-publish-
er is tall and graceful, with a fresh,
frank face, and marvelously sweet voice,
and simple dignity of manner that IS
very pleasant. She is a favorite socially
in her region of country, and has been
invited to read the Declaration of indie
pendence at Fourth of July celebra-
ton near Circleville. She has accepted
the invitation. She took charge of the
Herald on the death of its former editor
because she had always wanted to do
something of that kind" She had that
sort of natural call to her work which is
the infallible prophet of success. The
young lady felt very timid at first, with
the foolish feeling that somehow affiicts
us all when we go about any new work,
a feeling as if the eyes of the world were
upon us. She carried on the Herald
six weeks with the name of the deceased
proprietor still at its head, till some OF
her exchanges began to remark that for
a corpse, that editor was running
right lively paper. Ten she Thoughtful
was time to put up her own name.

WIT AND WISDOM.

A GENTLEMAN who had been struck
by the young lady's beauty was deter
mined to follow the Injunction, and
"kiss the rod that smote him."
IT is noticeable fact that the smaller
> travelling salesman's salary is, tho
larger seal ring he wears and the more
room he takes UP at the hotel table.

wouldn't make good Secretary of War
is because he believes soldiers rations
should include apple dumplings with
champagne gravy.-Detroit Free Press.
THE quiet man is like a trade-wind,
steady and In one direction; but the
loud mouthed man is like whirlwind,
making heap of stir with no beneficial
result.-Nev Hauen Register.
ANOTHER illustration of the ups and
downs of literary life. A new brand of
smoking tobacco appears with some
verses by Mr.. Longfellow printed on
the back of the package. 1t is not long
since poems from his pen were cheer
fully published by the best magazines.
SUCH is the formidable antagonism Of
the sexes that chance to give Roland
for an Oliver is never lost. "Don't you
think that good likeness of me?" said
a pretty wife to her small fraction of
herself called her husband. "Very
good" was the reply, Except that
there is little too much repose about
the mouth
A NAUGHTY little girl was playing in
a room where her grandma sat, when a
heavy shower came up, and terrific
peal of thunder broke upon their ears.

A BOZ had always declined TO eat oat-
meal, although his mother had urged
it upon him as strengthening diet.
Suddenly he surprised her by one morn
ing eating liberal plateful and calling
for more. When she asked for an ex-
PLANTATION he replied: 81 am bound to
eat oatmeal till I get strong enough to

the room in disgust.
How true is the saying that great
minds run in the same channels, though
centuries of time may divide them.
Thousands of years ago Confucius said,
Sc The full moon does not always last"
and the other night South end man,
who was sitting by the window, softly
remarked: ssThe moon is gittin' small

it'll be dark enough to gather in the
