Random Thoughts.
BY d MACKLEl

My kind friends over at Beaver had
me on the programme as one of the
speakers at their Sunday School pic
last Saturday. AS we went on the s
o'clock train we had a pleasant time
until the little car became crowded.
At Cove Station so many got on the
train that the men, and even some of
the women, had to stand up. The
morning was cloudy and pleasant.
The train stopped near Slaughter's
Grove, where a number Of persons
had already collected. There were
seats for one thousand persons, and a
a large platform for the speakers.
The grove consisted of large sugar
maple trees, some of them from three
to four feet in diameter.
By the time the people had all az
rived there must have been from 1900
to 2000. In the forenoon there was
singing, one piece in German, then
prayer, then a speech by A. w. Long.

NOW II was near noon. Dr. w lliIam |
Phillips, Mr.. Slaughter. and others.
urged me to take dinner with them.
but | remained on the ground, and
had a most excellent dinner with my
old friend and former pupil, Lewis
Gillian and his family. While at
dinner the RAIN came on. 1t poured.
7. H. Mutt, (Humes,) took me up to
the residence of my nephew, DIR. Phil
lips, in the village. We had umbrel-
las, but we were quite wet. The rain
continued for some hours.
At the house of DR.. Phillips were
his wife's father and mother, my old
friends, James Mutt and wife. Mrs.
Mutt is sister of David and Isaac
Parry of Madison township, and aunt of
D. S. Parry, Of the firm of Parry,
Warren & Co., Of Portland | had
long and pleasant talk with Mr.. Mutt.
He raised a worthy family. One of
his daughters is the wife of DR.. Scriv-
en-, of Hanging Rock, and another is
married to Mr.. Cherington, of Jack
son. VIM. Mutt resides here, Baxter
went to Nebraska last spring, and
Humes is going there this fall. David
resides in Beaver. One son, George,
is at home. Mr. Mutt owns a farm,
where he resides, a mile southeast of
Beaver. The old gentleman is radi-
cal Republican of the most stalwart
stripe. He would hold to principle
though heaven and earth should
pass away. Thank God for such men.
All his sons and sons-in-law are Re-
publicans. Humes went into the ar
my with Col. Churchill, and afterward
served in the 7th Ohio Cavalry. He
told me many incidents of army life.
He is worthy man.
DR.. Phillips is doing fine business
at Beaver He is a man of excellent
character, careful and prudent ply
sician. We met at his house DIR.
Johnson A. White, Mr.. Fellers, and
several other friends
Near car time DR.. Phillips got out
his horse for me to ride to the depot,
and Rev. Mr.. Jones went with me to
take the horse back. As we passed
up the street we saw great crowd of
men in front of a doggery, kept by
one Becker, brother of the notorious
Pete Becker, formerly of this place.
Several of the men were drunk, pull
ing at each other, and swearing most
profanely. There were several drunk
Ell men at the depot.
The train came on time-5:35, and
was again crowded, as far as Simp-
sons. It rained again, but we all got
safely to Jackson, where [ took the
Isham House omnibus, and had a good
warm supper with Uncle Joe, at the
Isham
The people of Beaver were much
disappointed. They had made ample
preparations for good time. They
said this was the third year that they
had attempted to have a picnic, and
it had rained hard every time. And
then they lost my speech, which was
to have come off in the afternoon. [
regretted this too, as it would certain
ly have been a pleasure to talk to so
large, so intelligent, and so attentive
a congregation.

To the Editor of the Standard:
At the present writing it is very
dry in this vicinity, but good rains
north and south of here. Harvest is
about through, save stacking in some
localities. The wheat throug ghout the
whole northwest is a fair crop-quali-
ty being very good. Corn is looking
very well, and should frost keep off
until late, the crop will be good.
This has been a remarkably good
season for lumbermen. The Missis-
sippi River at this and all points
above, has been higher this summer
than for four years past. And the
same with all the principal tributaries.
One can form no conception Of the
vast amount of lumber that passes
down the Mississippi until he sees the
rafts which go down daily. Several
have gone down in each of which
there were over two million feet.
Times still continue close in all
business, but prospects are lookig bet
ter. Wheat, being a good quality this
year, will bring fair price, thus ena-
bling the people to save their proper
ty and farms. Politicians are making
preparations for the fall campaign.

as Brick" Pomeroy, is trying to stir
the people up on the greenback ques-
ton. He publishes daily and week

PUrp Democracy.

The Okolona States gives the Cleve-
land Plaindealer, and other hypocrites,
terrible scoring. The States copies
the resolutions Of the Jackson county
Democracy from the Standard, intro
ducing them with this Endorsement:
On the 4th of July, 1864, the Democracy, the
Vallandigham Democracy, the Plaindealer De-
passed the brave, ringing patriotic Resolutions
that follows:
Then comes the resolutions, after
which the States says:
But this Jackson meeting wasn't circum-
stance to the Cincinnati meeting when Con-
gresham Long came home after offering his
| resolution in favor of recognizing the indepen-
dence of the Southern Con federacy.

grand heroic gentleman, and when he made
| his appearance the air was rent and torn by

The Okolona States justifies the as
sassination of Dixon because he want
ed to be candidate for Sheriff. So
does the Columbus Democrat. We
have large number of Democratic
papers on our exchange list, and not a
single one Of them condemns the cow
ardly murder of Dixon, or the hellish
attempt of Blackburn, Democratic
Governor elect of Kentucky, to spread
yellow fever and smallpox among
the people Of the North during the
Democratic rebellion. We ask honest,
decent, law-abiding Democrats, how
they can act with party which justi-
fies such fendish crimes?

A. J. Dawson, the eloquent colored lawyer of
Athens, writes the Democrat that he will take
the stump for Ewing and Rice in few days,
and do what he can for the success of the whole
ticket. He reports the prospects favorable to
the Democracy in that part of the State.-[Co-
lumbus Democrat.
Now, by all means, let the notori-
GUS Edward Ollison, of Chillicothe,
be put on the track with the "elo-
quent colored lawyer of Athens" !"

Democracy, under the thin dodge of
"the peoples party has run off to

fill the breeches of the great Grosve-
nor. Trot out Ollison.

Suppose that some Jackson County
Democrat had, last year, announced
himself as an Independent candidate
for Sheriff of Jackson County. Then
suppose E. T. Jones, the Democratic
nominee had hunted him up and shot
him. What would the Democratic
party in this County have thought of
the act? Yet it is precisely such a
case the Northern press are gloating
over-having occurred in the sovereign
State of Mississippi.

Remember, boys, that the XVIII Unconstitu-
tional Amendment has never been properly
ratified.
Leaving out the force and fraud by which it
was put through in the Southern States, we
still have the little fact left that Ohio withdrew
her consent to the infamous measure in 1868.
That withdrawal is on file in Washington,
and 1t will send the Amendment a-kiting to
Kingdom come when it is used.-lOkolona
States.
And, remember, boys, that Levi
DUNCAN, then member of the Ohio
Legislature, sent there by the Demo-
Gratis of Jackson county, voted for
that withdrawal, now so comforting
to the great rebel paper.

The prices of food in England as
compared with the prices in the Uni
ted States are fully 25 per cent. higher
than in New York, and so per cent.
higher than prices in Chicago. In the
agricultural districts men generally
receive about 81 25 per week, without
board and lodging; with these, from
81 so to 50 40. Women, without
board and lodging, receive from 81 so
to So 25; and with board and lodging,
receive from 60 cents to 81. English
laborers have many adverse circum-
stances to contend with at present.
Financial failures and the destructive
storms Of the summer have told very
much against them. They have also
very greatly injured themselves by
strikes, which have already actually
driven some industries on which they
are greatly dependent away from Eng
land to other countries. Labor is be-
coming there very much in excess of
demand, and already premiums are
freely offered by the trades-unions to
induce laborers to emigrate to the
United States and Australia. 1t is
estimated that in the next five years at
least 100000 men will have to leave
England These are only a few in
stances.
The comparison all the way through
is very much in favor of the American
laborer, and ought to be very encour-
aging to him. He is already in amost
enviable condition, as compared with
the laborer of any European country,
and his prospects are much better this
year than for many years past. Re-
turning business and abundant har-
vests will furnish both increase of en-
ployment and cheaper living, and
ought to furnish increased content
ment and happiness also.

Of the killing of the Yazoo rebel Dixon,

hot one. Each party will do its ut
most for success. 1t is, or at least
ought to be, the desire of all persons
that the election shall be a fair and
honest one l desire, through your
paper, to say to the people of this
county, that any violations of the
election laws of this State, brought to
my notice, will be prosecuted to the
full extent of those laws. And | ask
all persons, who may know of any vi
olations of these laws, to notify me of
the same. What is known as the
"Seitz Law" was passed last winter,
and its provisions are broad and strict.
1t ought to be obeyed, and its provis-
ions kept inviolate by all. One new

that it makes it crime for any per-
son to receive a bribe In other words,
to bribe or be bribed is a violation of
