Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1879-06-13

The Rpublican party in Ohio have named
Charles Foster as their candidate for Gov
ernor. His qualifications for Governor
have not been stated by his party with
frsnkness. This omission, however. is not
unusual. With this party it is not prim-
arily necessary that man be fit for the Of
fee be seeks, the first consideration with
them, is whether he viii be good candid
ate. One Of their first questions is, viii he
spend his money freely among the boys?
STANDARD.
How do these qualifications apply to the
present Governor? We have never heard
much said about qualifications in his case
and zone Of the first questions" with the
Democracy, as was well understood, to
have been, was the money question. IN
Gle Dick, however, was disappointment,
and did not come down as freely as was
expected, which accounts for his dying a
yearling.

TIE EXPORTS are still large, and there

THE EXPORTS are still large, and there
is no reason to complain when New York
sends out twenty-eight millions OF domes-
tic produce in single month, SUN equal
to our total foreign imports for the same
period. The exports for the expired por-
tion of the current fiscal year, to March
81, were S256,0O0, 600, against S232, $780,
7O7 in the same time in 1878. The coun-
try is now three and half mill ons
ahead of the first three-quarters OF the
last fiscal year, but this gain will proba-
bly be lost before the close, as the twelve
months ending with June, 1873, were
without precedent IN the history OF the
trade. As New York receives about two
thirds of all the foreign imports of the
country, and ships only about AZ per
cent. of the exports, the returns we have
presented will show a balance OF trade
between the United States and all foreign
countries for the last nine months OF
about two hundred and twenty-five mil
lions in our favor.

ELECTRICITY AND PLANT LIFE.--Ac.
cording to Mr.. Grandeau, one reason why
vegetation Is so stunted under trees is
that the trees conduct the electricity from
the ground. He took two tobacco
plants, exactly alike, and planted them
in adjacent boxes. From one iron rods
projected. In four months the plants
were weighed. The one that grew with
the rods weighed lao grams, the othel
273 grams. Bell jars have been arranged
so that plants can be continually fed with
electrified air. In such an atmosphere
they grow with surprising rapidity. Fur
ther experiments are in progress, and the
results may be interesting and important
to all plant growers.-JOurndl of Chem.

THE REPUBLICAN PROGRAM NJ f

HOW THE sTALWARrs PROPOSE TO PRE-
VENT THE INTRODUCTION OF BILLS.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-There APP
pears to be no doubt that an effort will
be made in the House Tomorrow from
the Republican side to prevent the in
troduction of any bills relating to finance
though the success of it depends on the
member the Speaker recognizes in the
delegation from the State first called,
which is Maine. Mr. Reed, as the Rep
resentative of the First District, may be
the first recognized. Ii SO, he proposes
to reintro oduce the i'll for the reorgani-
zation of the army and call for it's read
ing in full. This will occupy hours, and
it Is expected that it will not only con-
sume the morning hour of tomorrow,
but also of several other NJ Mondays. Mean
while N essrs. Ladd aud Murch, of Maine
have both both been supplied with
copies of three measures to be introduce
ed if either of them can obtain recogni-
ton. The first provides fer the free
coinage of silver; the second substitutes
Treasury notes for national bank notes,
and the third authorizes the issue of
$50, ,O0O, 900 of fractional currency.

A REPUBLICAN TRIBUTE TO
GEN. TAYLOR.
New York Tlmes Anril 1S

General Taylor neither sought nor ac-
cspted any restoration to citizenship or
restitution OF his property after the war.
He took an active interest In the famous
Philadelphia Convention in support of
Andrew Johnson's j policy, and at later
period sought Grants intervention TO
prevent the use of troops in Louisiana,
Int without success. He was one of the
trustees of the Peabody Fund tor the
education of the poor IN the Southern
States, and since the war usually passed
his summers at the North and his wlpters
in New Orleans. His wife, nee Myrtle
Bringler, died in 1875, but his sister, Mrs:
Stewart cambridge, the Bessie Taylor of
old days, who once nursed him back to
life during the war, was at his bedside
during his last hours. Personally, Gen.
eral Taylor had none of the rouRhness of
his sire. He was Of winning address,
rather slight IN figure, of courteous bear
ing and a brilliant talker and winter. A
slight dash of cynicism tempered his con-
versation.

American Girls In London.

A London correspondent writes: give
yon my word the passion for marrying
American girls has developed into q regu-
lar craze with the English nobility, like
the rage for old blue, Or for . chip of Cleo
patras needle. Formerly man Of high
birth never dreamed of linking himself to
woman of rank. less exalted than his
avn, and the rule still holds good in re.
gard to English girls. But as regards
''those beautiful Americans c'est toute
outre chose" The best and richest and
prettiest of them having no birth, of course
birth is a matter quite out of the ques-
ton. The American girls were never
born; they growedl
see very decided signs that this tend
cncy on the part of the British nobleman
is to be fully exploited on the part of the
American mamma. You would be sur
prised to see the number of Americans
who have engaged rooms for the winter
at the Langham and other London hotels.
Tho thing is more unusual, because gen.
orally Americans who, winter abroad 70
to Nice or Flornece, or "do' Egypt. But
now nothing can make them bulge from
London, and girls who on former trip,
hated the sight of London, and could not
get out of the smoky old place fast
enough, and on to Paris, now assure INC
that they think London the lovelie>t place
in the world, just quite too nice for any
ting, and far superior 20 the continent
in every respect, especially society

Whose Wife is She?

From the Philadslphia Times.
In the year 1862, it will be remember
ed by some of the oldest inhabitants,
there existed between that portion of the
United States called the South and a
section of country known as the North
an intense misunderstanding. A great
many kindly-disposed individuals both
il the North and South, volunteered to
give their country the benefits of their
cool judgments and steady nerves by
offering to blow each others heads off.
Among the number was one John
Hampshire. then resident of Worcester
township, in Montgomery County. John
kissed his wife and two children, shoul-
dered his moral persuader, and started
for the scene Of conflict. Time rolled
around, the misunderstanding between
the two factions was all cleared W.,
and those WHO. we're left came back to
their homes again to receive the Loving
welcome and hearty praise which awaited
them at their own hearthstones, and from
grateful people who stayed at home
But John Hampshire came not. Then
Mrs. Hampshire became impressed
with the belief that she was widow,
and after waiting seven weary years
more, Mr.. Adam Byer, carpenter in
wc]l.to do circumstances, residing in
Norristown, offered his heart and hand
to the supposed widow. The offer was
accepted and the twain were made one
flesh. A few days ago. according to the
Schwenksville Weekly Item, the long lost
husband made his appearance in Wor
cester, dressed in fine clothes, and is said
to be worth 100000.
'It now remains disputed question: -
says the same authority, "whether her
former husband can claim her as his law
full wife, now that they have been parted
tor so many years."
The case is a remarkable one, and The
only factor lacking to render it ccle-
brated out-and-out EnocA Arden sensa-
ton is the presence Of the long lost hus-
band. with or even without his fortune
Of 100000. The fact is James has not
turned up yet, or if he has he has not
done his former partner the honor of
even friendly call, much less to *'ques-
tion whether he can claim her as his
lawful wite."
His former wife read the story, and
has made every effort possible to ascer.
tain the locality Of the "long lost;" but,
as no ole has been privileged to look up.
on his animated form, she still be-.
lieves that when she became Mrs. Byer
she was the widow Of John Hampshire.
