The people of Ohio have the credit in
history of starting the most popular and
irresistible campaign ensignia ever pre-
scented in an American canvass, which
consisted of the log-cabin and keg of
hard cider, formed into transpareucies,
or built in miniature, and used in pro-
c ions during the presidential canvass
of l840, in consequence OF which the
Wings elected Harrison and Tyler by an
overwhelming majority. The Democrats
of the Buckeye State have hit upon q
similarly unique and striking ensign for
the gubernatorial canvass of the present
year, which is to foreshadow the cam
paign of 1880, The Democratic ensign
for this canvass is q ballot bog transfxed
by bayonet, and upheld by musket,
which mutely, but forcibly, presents to
the popular mind the great question OF
liberty or despotism which is to be de-
termined by the result of the coming
seruggle. r'here are thousands of voters
who will not trouble themselves to con-
slider the arguments advanced by the
different speakers, but will take in the
issues as typified by the oallot-box regu-
lated by the bayonet. This campaign
In Ohio will probably be the most in
tensely interesting struggle of the COM
ing fight. It is the skirmish for position
beforethe battle, and each party will do its
nttermest to secure the first advantage.
The Republicans begin the fight with all
the odds in their favor. They have the
national patronage, they have an abund-
ance of money, and stock of shrewd
and uupsincipled leaders. The Demo
Gratis, however, have SO far oyermatched
them in the arrangements of the cam
paign. The Radicals fight Under Foster
and Hoenlooper. who were never in the
war, and rendered their country no SCR
vice, except in ample security, for which
they have Away been we'll paid. The
Democrats are led by Ewing and Rice,
both of whom fought for the Union, and
achieved q reputation for patriotic brave
~ which has popularized them before
the people of the State. 1t is fight OF
the people against usurpation, and fraud,
and monopoly. and tho prospects are
that right win trirmph overthe strength
of the enemies Of the country, and the
victory TO be won in Ohio viii symbolic
greater one for the Democracy in 1880.

Railroad Schools.

In Russia the machinery of factoril
and the engines of railroads and steam
ers are chiefly in the charge of foreign
ers, on account of the lack of expert
enced native mechanics. 1t is now re-
allied that this state of things is neither,
economical nor patriotic; and, besides, ]
there have been accidents because the
foreign mechanics and engineers did(
not understand the Russian language.
In order to bring about q change, the
Government, in 1871, ordered the rail-
road companies to pay Is rubles per
verst-two-thirds of mile for the es-
Enlistment and support of railroad
schools. About 100000 rubles a year
are collected under thir order, and now
there are about twenty such schools.
Twenty more are to be opened this year.
These schools are situated on the rail
road lines, and each of them is provided
with machine shop, where every pupil
is obliged to work not less than three
hours daily. The full course requires
four years. Each student chooses his
specially, as mechanic, engineer, or
telegraphist. Besides these there are
five conductors schools. As the railroad
schools have proved successful, other
branches of industry are to follow the
example. Many steamship companies
and factories propose to establish
schools to secure experienced hands for
their service.

Northwest Passage.

If Arctic explorers have not discov-
cred a practical Northwest passage
whales have, as is shown by the fact that
whales have been captured in the North
Pacific having harpoons that were
thrown into them on the other side of
the continent. Capt. Bauldry, of the
Helen Mar, of San Francisco, has taken
a whale having in it large flint har-
pooh, supposed to have been put in by
natives of Cape Bathurst, or the regions
beyond the mouth of the Mackenzie
river, because the natives living to the
westward of that river never use such
weapons, but always bone or iron. A
more positive evidence is found in the
fact that the Captain of the Adeline
Gibbs took a whale in the Arctic with
an iron in it which had been thrown the
same season in Hudson bay. This is
known to be the case, because the iron
bore the mark of ship at the time en-
gagged in whaling in the bay.

White W.. Red Wine.

Mr.. Philip Gilbert Hamerton has re-
Gently asserted, without going behind
his observation and experience for rea-
sons, that white wines are much more
intoxicating than red. An old school
mate of his at Lausanne now gives tes-
timony to the same effect. The sobriety
of the peasants who habitually use red
wine as compared with that of the drink
ers Of white wine is said to be very
marked. White wine is particularly in
furious to the nervous system. Few
persons who use much Of it attain old
age with their faculties unimpaired.
But the reason why red wine is less in
toxicating is not reassuring to the ha-
bitual users of it, Red wine, it seems,
contains a good deal of tannin, which
exercises an astringent influence on the
tissues of the stomach, closes it's pores,
and prevents the alcohol in the vine
from going to the brain. AS between
running the stomach with tannin and the
nervous system with alcohol, there is
little choice. Beer would be better, but
that is said to be injurious to the kid
neys.-ChicdgO Tribune.
