The following appears in yesterdays
Bellaire Independent:
Papers are in circulation demonstrating
against House Bill 1908 (0hiO Legisla.
ture), which strikes q death blow to tick.
ct scalpers and the transfer Of railroad
tickets bv the people. The bill is meeting
with much opposition in the larger cities,
and is regarded as an imposition. 1t has
already passed the House, and Is in a fair
way to pass the Senate unless the remon-
strators make rapid progress in securing
and sending in the signatures Of those OPP
posing it."
The bill referred to ought to be defeated.
The selling Of tickets by scalpers is a legi-
innate employment, and as long as the
railroad companies decline to redeem at
its pro rata value the unused portion Of a
ticket, the scalpers should be encourag.
ed by the travelling public. When a tick.
ct is sold at so from New York to St.
Louis, by way Of Wheeling the man who
uses it as far as Wheeling 5 justly entitled
to a pro rata redemption at this point OF
the unused portion, or else to the privilege
Of selling it to a dealer in such tickets.
The ticket honestly belongs to the man who
bought it, or to whom he sells it, and is a
fair article of merchandise. The fact that
stolen tickets are occasionally found in
the hands Of the scalpers is no argument
whatever against transactions in bona fide
tickets. Scalpers' tickets from Wheeling
to Chicago can be had to-day for two to
three dollars less than the regular price.
They were bought when such tickets be.
tween the East and West were being sold
very low, and hence can be sold at a profit
to-day at less than the regular tickets.
Why should the public not have the ben.
eGto them2 We know Dino reason why
the trade should be interiered with by
legislation.

Hon. Charles Foster, the Republican
candidate for Governor of Ohio, is about
forty.five yeas Of age, and looks like he
has been well fed all his life. He is
sinewy and strong, is about the medium
height, has dark hair, pleasant light eyes,
and his whiskers, which arc worn almost
full, are plentifully sprinkled with gray.
There is nothing Of the dandy about his
attire, and his whole makeup would i'm.
press the beholder that he was q prosper.
Gus merchant, or perhaps an attorney
with a comfortable practice. He wears a
full head Of hair. and 1t is evident that he
does not belong TO the bald fraternity.
His smile yesterday, when going forward
to meet the plaudits ofan admiring consti-
tuency, was more elaborate than usual,
but he always tries to look pleasant and
comfortable. Taken all around, Charley
is good to look upon-not decidedly hand
some, but "fair to middlin'."

Cotton and Linen on one Eusa,

The Appleton (Wis.) Post reports the
discovery in Wisconsin of a curious
plant which produces a kind of cotton
and fax from the same stalk, 1t has
already been woven into fabrics, aud as
any article that will make as good cloth
as can be made from this plant will
make good paper, it has been called the
paper plant. 1t can be planted in the
spring and cut in the fall and winter.
II bleaches itself white as it stands, and
will yield at least three or four tons to
the acre. From single root that was
transplanted last spring grew 20 large
stocks, with 305 pods Containing the
cOttOn), with at least 60 seeds in each.
From this root were obtained seven
ounces of pure cotton and over half a
pound of fax. 1t is very heavy plant,
and grows from six to seven feet high.

Never Allowed 20 Dance with squaws


A well merited repartee was dealt by
a smart midshipman to the daughter of
X. G. B., at ball given by the latter
to the naval officers on the North Pacific
station. The MILDLY was bold enough
to ask the young lady to accept him for
her partner.
20 dear, no." said the supercilious
beauty, INA never allows me TO dance
with midshipmenp'
Somebody let her know the MILDLY was
lord, and she repented, and by-and-by
reminded him he was engaged to her for
the next dance.
The youngster, however, was not so
easily to be Modified, and remembering
the lady had native blood in her veins,
smilingly replied:
SO dear, no! ma never allows me to
dance with squawsp'
