Death Of a Once Famous Scout.

There died at the Soldiers Home in
Dayton, Ohio, the other day, a man
whose name, Charles 5. Bell, is prob
ably forgotten by the public, but who
was during the war one of the most
daring and famous scouts in the Union
army. Entering the army in the first
year of the war, at very early age,
his boldness and courage soon attract
ed the attention of General Grant,
whose trusted spy he was until the
close Of the war. He was known to
enlist in the rebel army and serve in
the ranks for months at a time in or
der to obtain valuable information for
his chief, and in the character ofa reb-
ell scout, in 1863, he led Gen. Chalmers
now in Congress from Mississippi. into
into Gen. Hurlburt's lines, aud in the
fight which ensued the rebel general
was shot in the face, the scar of which
he bears 10 this day. In 1862, while
serving in the trans Mississippi de-
partment, he conducted large detach-
ment of the enemy across the river on
ice, ostensibly 20 surprise a Union
camp, but, instead, let them into a pre-
pared ambuscade, where the entire
force was captured. One officer, at the
last moment. suspected the deception,
but ere he could make his suspicious
known the scout shot him down. He
was taken prisoner in 1868, and
his real character was discovered;
bat while on his way to Richmond,
heavily ironed, he leaped from the
train running at full speed and made
his escape.

Health Hints.

For earache, roast a raisin and bind
ii on as hot as can be borne.
Olive or sweel oil mixed with warm
milk and water, and drink plentifully,
until il acts as an emetic, is an antidote
TO poison in general.
Soiled air can no more purify soiled
blood than soiled water can cleanse
soiled clothes. There is one thing
which can do it, and that is plenty Of
pure air.
Relative TO changing the clothing, it
is considered hazardous TO lessen its
amount after dressing in the morning,
unless active exercise is taken i'm
mediately. No under garments should
be changed for lighter ones during the
day, ordinarily. The best, safest and
most convenient time for lessening the
clothing is in the morning, when We
first dress for the day.
The British Medical Journal, in
speaking of the effects of smoking on
the general health OF boys under six
teen years of age, says "A celebrated
physician took for his purpose thirty
eight boys, aged from nine to fifteen.
aud carefully examined them. In
twenty-seven Of them he discovered IN
furious traces Of the habit. In twenty
two there were various disorders OF the
circulation and of digestion, palpita-
tion of the heart, and a more or less
taste for strong drink, in twelve there
we're frequent bleedings Of the nose,
ten had disturbed sleep, and twelve
had slight alterations Of the mucous
membrane OF the mouth, which disap-
peared on ceasing from the use of
tobacco for some days. The doctor
treated them oil for weakness, but
with little effect, until the smoking
was discontinued, when health and
strength we're soon restored.

From the Quincy Herald.
We believe Mr.. Chandler TO be the
man who should head the Presidential
ticket of the next Republican party
Honest and fearless, his nomination
would be a guarantee Of his election,
and the Herald therefore places before
it's readers, as the most desirable name
for the Republican standard bearer for
1880, Zachariah Chandler of Michigan.
From the Coldwater Republican.
Chandler stands as good a chance for
being President as does Grant, or
Blaine. or Sherman; and no man has
greater executive ability, is more hon
est, or would sustain the Presidential
honor against Congressional dictation
better than would Zachariah Chandler.
From the st. Joseph Trayeler-Herald.
WHY NOT?
Why not nominate "Old Zach" and
elect him President
He is honest.
He has business capacity.
He is a Republican.
With him, we should assuredly have
an honest administration.
With him, we should have an admin
istration conducted on business princi-
Piles.
With him we should have an admin
istration that is thoroughly Republi-
can.
Again, ask, why not nominate and
elect "Old Zach.

The Tuscumbia, Alabama, Demo

as follows:
"Thc leaders OF the Radical party,

sknes as Hoar, Blaine and Chandler. "
JEFF. Davis Is, We are informed by
this Southern Democratic organ, one
OF the "honored men OF the South. He
"has been lifelong. consistent Dem

in being the head Of the rebellion; he

claiming that the rebellion was right
and in still refusing to have his politi-

the United States that he persistently
declines to ask to become citizen of

Democrats hope 10 put him back, "at

still defiant rebel, without even having
him ask tohave his political disabilities
removed. He will be O consistent
Democrat in that position, too.

The Washington correspondent OF

look for a short extra session OF Con.

then adds:

tion, but 10 must be remembered that
the conservatives are not in majority.
III they were the extra session would
never have been called. If the house
is organized by tie Democrats, as il
probably will be by fair or foul means

head. In period of excitement his
eyes CLINT with the real frenzy OF mad
ness, and the Iecklessness Of his acts
are beyond computation under any fam
cied spur OF notoriety or opposition.

stated that the recent massacre at the

A venerable, lifelong Democrat of
this village, was not seen on the streets
for day or two after the news OF the
action of the coalition. When he did
at last appear, Republican ventured
to inquire OF him "how he liked the
marriage arrangements entered into at
Lansing?" Without making any reply
the old gentleman slowly draNed a
package from his pocket. from which
he took a sugar-coated-pill, aud grave
ly requested his interrogater to swal-
low it, assuring him that il would ex-
ert a quieting influence upon the
nerves. The pills were labeled, Gas
safGtida." Nothing more definite was
elected.

OUR EXPOSITION.

! The Importance of the present Exposi-
tiOn to the business interests of Cincin-
natl is almost incalculable, and as yet by
no means fully appreciated by the mer-
chants manufacturers and business men
generally of the CITY, 1t is true that
business of every kind in Cincinnati ex-
hibits an unparalleled activity; that the
wholesale merchants on Pearl and other
streets are overwhelmed with customers
awaiting attention; that their clerks and
porters can scarcely find time to eat or
sleep; that manufacturers Of every kind
are crowding their utmost capacities for
production; that retailers can scarcely
obtain goods fast enough from the East
to supply the daily demands at the
counter; that hotels, restaurants and
boarding-houses are swarming like bees
with customers, glad to secure half the
customary attention.
1t is true, as stated above that these
facts exist, but few really appreciate that
this unparalleled business boom, coming
as it does on the topof the natural legiti-
mate revival of trade common every
where, will largely attach itself to Gin
cinnati and become her permanent, abso-
lutte property hereafter. We do not mean
to assert that the uncomfortable crowds
who visit our Exposition and work our
merchants and manufacturers nearly to
death will fill our streets and places Of
business in as vast throng beyond the
miodle of October, when the great show
is expected to close, but we do know that
the extraordinary exhibit of art and in
dustry shown in such uncxampled COM
pleteness at our gigantic bazaar, in large
part the products of our own manufac-
turersand merchants, will teach thousands
of buyers from all sections of the
country that Cincinnati excels all
other Western cities as a distrib-
uting point for the manu-
ldClulCu pIOuuClS VI lllU NOIlu. I1cT
manufacturers are acquiring wide celeb
rity for taste, hermerchants for liberality
and enterprise, and Cincinnati herself for
the wisely directed public spirit that
characterizes her wealthy citizens and
has made her the acknowledged Paris of
the United States. The direct trade
brought to Cincinnati by reason of this
Exposition will crowd into the thirty
days it lasts an amount of business, and
consequently profit to our citizens, equal
at moderate calculation to one full
year of ordinary business, and thereby
set us forward twelve months farther in
the tide of returning prosperity than any
other city in the country can boast. For
this let us be duly thankful, not forget
ting that the singularly judicious man
agement of those who have had this Ex-
position in charge has contributed greatly
to make it so emphaticaly thing of
beauty that it shall live and remain
JOY forever to the business men of Gin
cnnati.
