was curious because her garments were
neat and clean, though threadbare, and
cnriops because a smile crossed her

Medical Science.

Doctors do not flourish in Serbia. Up
to a very recent date their place was sup
pIied by Inc wise women" called 'Fbabas."
These ''babas' profess to have an lutu-
tive knowledge Of medicinal plants, but
that intelligent being, the Serbian peas
ant, placed much less trust in their med
ical man than in their magical skull
Their performances in this line was
remarkable, and their rustic patients had
every faith in it. The most commonly
fatal diseases in Serbia are consumption
and congestion Of the lungs, The staple
remedy for the latter a1inent IS to admin
ister to the patient three apples growH on
the same bough If after eating these
apples, which are supposed to have some
mysterious connection with the Trinity,
the patient feels no better, then, but not
till then, the wise woman adopts NOR
vigorous measures. The unfortunate
invalid is laid on the ground on his
stomach the wise woman scatters sal
ever him, and marches around him mum.
biag cabalistic words This seems TO bt
kind Of exorcism, and would indicate
belief that the illness is caused By
witchcraft or demoniacal possession.

The Warren Chronicle, which claims to
speak for the Republicans of the Western
Reserve, rebukes the disposition shown by
certain politicians in the Southern and
Central portions of the State to keep GEN
eral Garfield before the people in the at
titude of a probable, or even possible,
candidate for Governor. The Chroicle
says that this movement is radically at
variance with the feelings, wishes and in
ten, ions of the Republicans of that section
OF the State, who feel that the withdrawal
OF General Garfield from Congress would
t De a sacrifice wholly out of proportion to
CIe benefits and advantages likely to ac-
cfue from his being a candidate for Gov
6Thor' even taking his election for granted.
We can assure the Chronicle that so far as
this section is concerned there is no dis
position to press Gen. Garfield into a false
position. He Is respected and admired
and would gladly be supported for Gov
ernOr ifhe was understood to be n canCli-
date for that position. But the movement
has been the work of one man, and that
too, not from any special love for Gen
Garfield, but because it was supposed his
name could be used to destroy the chances
of Judge Taft. In the meantime Judge
Taft is not pushing his claims as a candi-
date--he is not that sort of man--but if
the good judgment of the Republican
Convention places him at the head of the
ticket, he will accept the nomination, and
do all he can to lead the party to victory.

STOCK ITEMS.

From the Pittsburg Price Current, April 81.
The beautiful advance in sheep this
week did the handsome thing for those
shippers who We're so fortunate as to have
stock here.
Fifty head of cattle belonging to S. W.
Alerton, averaging 1,172 pounds, were
sold on Wednesday to Samuel Brown, at
1925 per ewt.
More stockers have been offered this
week than at any time this spring, but
with good demand all were readily sold
at $3.75@4.121a.
Philadelphia buyers were here Wednes-
day in usual force, but there were not
enough cattle to supply them. All the
offerings were taken almost on sight.
A large proportion of the swine COM
ing in now are pigs, and in rather poor
condition at that. 1t cannot be reasona-
bly, expected that such stock will bring
good prices.
Contrary to expectations, no live cattle
were exported from New York last week.
OF dressed beef 6.120 were sent out, with
400 live sheep and :, 800 carcasses of mutt
ton.
According to the estimates of the Com
missioners of Agriculture, there were
"a ,766, 200 hogs in this country on January
| 1, 1869, against b, 1862 300 January 2, 1873,
and 2S, ,077, 100 January l, 1877.
1t is to be hoped that the handsome adj
vance of about 30 cents per cwt. on fat
sheep this week will not cause shippers
to invest at extravagant prices and lose
money ;these prices have not come to stay.
The Cincinnati Price Current places the
winter pork packing at the six cities Ol
Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Indianap-
oils, Milwaukee and Louisville at $780,
142 head, against 4, ,564, ,673 head for the
preceding winter.
Some of the best sales of sheep were
made this week that we have had the
pleasure of recording for great while
The boss sale was made on Tusday, being
II6 head of choice sheep weighing 15(
pounds, which brought $500 per cwt.
A few clipped sheep, the first of tn,
season, came in this week. and were seem
ingly quite uncomfortable in this raw
weather without their coats. 1t is littlt
too early yet to deprive these animals o
their only protection against the cold.
The difference between "stockers'' ant
''feeders" is by many persons not clearl.
understood. ''Feeders are cattle of fai
size, in pretty good condition, weighing
about 900 to 1900 pounds. E'Stockers'
are light cattle, generally rather poor
and Weighing 900 to 800 pounds.

The National victory in C,ncrnna,,.

The Importance of the election in this
city yesterday was recognized by the peo-
pie. The vote polled was very large.
Full returns have not, at the hour of
writing, been received from all the wards,
but enough is known to warrant the an
nOuncement of the success of the Repub-
liean ticket. The majority of Jacob over
Harris exceeds 200. Captain Foraker,
for Superior Court Judge, leads the tick
ct. Judge Wilson leads the Democratic
ticket, and may pull through by a very
small majority. The Republicans claim
the election of their whole ticket by from
l 900 to 2, 500 majority, but there are sew
eral heavy precincts to hear from that
may modify results.
The Democratic campaign to capture
Cincinnati at 4his spring election meant
business. 1t was placed in the hands of
their strongest men, and the supply of
material aid has been large. The ticket
was well chosen for running. Colonel
Harris is man with many personal
friends, and rare capacity to organize.
He was made the dictator of his party,
and was supported with enthusiasm.
| The Republican victory may fairly be
attributed to the Introduction of National
politics into our local affairs by the act
of the Democratic Convention. Fhe DEM
Ocratic bosses have forced an extra ses-
sion of Congress upon the country, and
propose to starve the Army and the
Courts and the Executive unless the last
vestige of war legislation is stricken
from the statute books. This was made
the issue in Cincinnati, and the Democ-
racy, though most formidably arrayed,
are signally defeated.
It was the purpose of the Democratic
party here to make this fight one of Ma
tiOnal Importance. The Tildenesque plat
form was Obtruded to give Significance
to the result. 1t was assumed that Col.
Harris, the Democratic candidate for
Mayor, could not be beaten, and if elected
his powers were to be greatly enlarged
by the Legislature, so that he would have
complete control of the police This
done, the Republican right wing in Ohio
would have been broken, the city and
county secured for the Democracy in the
GubernatOrial contest, and the legisla-
tive delegation made safe for that party.
| Then Ohio was to be claimed exultingiy
for the Democrats in the next Presiden-
tial election, and the stOhio Ider,'' if not
an Ohio man advanced to the front.
The Democratic defeat spoils this pro-
gramme, and is a loud warming to the
Confederates who control the Caucus OF
the Democracy in Congress, and are set
| Clng themselves up as rulers, by divine
right, of the country. The National sen.
timent prevails in the central city of the
Nation.-Cinciaenat Commercial.

REPUBLICANS IN THE
ASCENDANT.
DEMOCRATS UNDER A
CLOUD.
A GRAND REPUBLICAN
VICTORY.

The Republican candidate for Mayor in
Columbus elected and the city all right.
The official returns gives G. G. Collins,
(Rep.) for Mayor, ,76s; Bernard McCabe
(R), Police Commissioner, ,666; Krumm
(R). City Solicitor, 1883. There will be
Republican majority of four in the City
Council, which will enable them to elect
the City Clerk.
Dayton, too, wheels into the Republican
lines. The Republicans have all the Of
ficers on the city ticket by 300 majority,
and secured a majority in the Council.
The city has been Democratic by upward
of 200 majority.
Cleveland is ON the war-path, and elects
the entire Republican ticket, with the
exception of Police Court Judge. The
Council will stand twenty-three Republi-
cans to thirteen Democrats. Herrick's
majority for Mayor is between 1900 and
$500. Everett, for Treasurer, ran ahead
of his ticket.
In Cincinnati, nearly, if not the en-
tire.Republican ticket, is elected by ma
jorities ranging from 500 to 600. The ma
jority for Jacob for Mayor is over 1000.
Many of the towns and villages that
have not given Republican majority for
several years have become alarmed and
have given the majority of their votes to
the Republican candidates. The political
atmosphere is clearing up, and at the DC.
tober election the sky will be bright, and
the old Republican party will be itseli
again, and victory will perch upon her
banner.

THE Leadville mania, saws the o. s.
Journal, is little less than follv. There
are thousand places within the limits
of these United States that ought to he
more attractive to poor men, and even
capitalists, than Leadville. Whoever has
business or employment in Ohio would
do well to stay here. Where one man
makes a fortune in the gold and silver re-
gions a thousand fail. Whereas, seventy
five out of every hundred who engage in
agricultural pursuits succeed in gaining
a competence, and many become wealthy.
If, therefore, young men see fit to leave
Ohio in hopes of bettering their condi-
tion, let them go to Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, or Texas.
where lands are abundant and cheap.
Any healthy and industrious man can
gain a livelihood in either of those States,
even without capital, and can fix himself
comfortably in few years. And if he
has few hundreds or thousands of dol
lars to purchase stock or agricultural i'm
plements he can at once set up for him
self.
