Why Eve Did Not Keep q Hired
Girl.

A lady writer in one of our exchanges
furnishes some of the reasons why Eve
did not keep hired girl. She says:
There has been a great deal said about
the faults of women and why they need
so much waiting on. Some one Ca man,
of course) has the presumption to ask
"why, when Eve was manufactured of a
spare rib, servant was not made at the
same time, to wait upon her ?" she didn't
need any. A bright writer has said Adam
never came whining to Eve with a rag
ged stocking to be darned, buttons to be
SeWed on, gloves to be mended, fright
y-quick-nowp; because he never
read the newspapers until the sun went
down behind the palm trees, and he,
stretching himself, yawned out, "isn't
supper ready, my DEAR" Not he. He
made fire and hung the kettle over it
himself,we'll venture, and pulled the rad
ishes, peeled the potatoes, and did every
thing else he ought to do. He MIXED
the COWS, fed the chickens and looked
after the pigs himself, and never brought
half dozen friends for dinner when
Eve hadn't any fresh pOmegranates. He
never stayed out till IL o'clock at night
and then scOlded because pooE-Eve was
sitting up and crying inside the gates.
He never loafed around corner groceries
while Eve was rocking little Gains
cradle at home. He did not call Eve up
from the cellar to get his slippers and
put them in the corner where he left
them. Not he. When he took them off
he put them under the fig tree beside his
Sunday boots. In short, he did not think
she was especially created for the pur-
pose of waiting on him, and wasn't un-
der the impression that it disgraced a
man to tighten wifes cares little.
That's the reason Eve did not need a
hired girl, and with it was the reason
her fair descendants did.

Practical Hint to shopper.

One fine morning, when Franklin was
busy preparing his newspaper for the
press, a lOunger stepped into the store,
and spent an hour or more looking over
the books, and finally taking one in his
hand, asked the shop boy the price.
"One dollar" was the answer.
"One dollar said the lounger, can't you
take less than that?"
mo, indeed, one dollar is the price"
Another hour had nearly passed when
the lOunger said:
rs Mr.. Franklin at homer"
"Yes he is in the printing Office
The shop boy Immediately informed
Mr.. Franklin that a gentleman was in
the store waiting to see him. Franklin
was soon behind the counter, when the
l0unger addressed him thus:
"Mr. Franklin, what is the lowest you
can take for that book ?"
"One dollar and quarter" was the
ready answer.
Zone dollar and a quarterl Why,
your young man asked me only dollar"
True, said, Mr. Franklin, 1and could
have better afforded to have taken
dollar than to have been taken out Of the
office"
The lounger seemed surprised, and
wishing to end the parley of his own
making, said:
"Come, Mr.. Franklin, tell me what is
the lowest you can take for it ?"
"A dollar and half"
"a dollar and half Why. you ofler-
ed it yourself for dollar and quarter"
Yes, said Franklin. "and / could
better have taken that price than dol
lar and half now"

Our Dead Presidents.

A review of the lives of the different
Presidents of the United states is pro-
ductive of some very interesting results
For instance, three Of them died on the
Fourth of July. John Adams and Jeffer-
son both died on the country's birthday
July 4. 1926, and Monroe died on the 4th
of July, 1881. Madison died on the 2Sth
of June, 1886, and his friends were conf.
dent that he, too, would live until July
4. If he had, then the second, third
fourth and fifth Presidents would have
died upon Independence Day. Taylor
and Johnson both died in July. Every
fourth President, until Mr.. Hayes was an
old batchelor. Van Buren did not draw
any of his salary until his term expired
when he drew it out in gold, "all in a
lump" Tyler died poor, having gone
into the rebellion, and was one of the
Confederate Commissioners at Montgom.

the face of the loyal people, must be
withdrawn and buried out of sight. And
this is where the bloody shirt will come
in
). The financial administration of the
government, under which 760 millions
of the debt caused by the rebellion has
been paid off, the annual interest on the
outstanding bonds reduced thirteen mil
lions, and the currency. brought up to
par with coin, is success. This sue
cess, too, was achieved in spite of the Op-
position of the Democratic party and
without its aid. That the imitation of
an irredeemable paper money would be
a curse second only to that of repudia-
tion, both of which mischievous measur-
es were supported, directly or indirectly,
by the Democratic party.
6. That the scandalOus conduct of the
Ohio Legislature, in demOralizing the
benevolent institutions of the State, in
outrageous attempts to revise and re-
verse the will of the people as declared
by their Suffrages, and in foisting upon
them by legislative usurpation defeated
candidates for local offices, merits the
most indignant rebuke of every intelli-
gent voter of the State.
The foregoing is, in substance, the Re
publican Indictment of the Democratic
party. Upon that it is to be tried before
the people of Ohio and the verdict will
be rendered in October
The Democratic party is on the de-
fensive, and there it will remain until
the polls close. The several clauses in
the Indictment will furnish the heads
for Republican campaign speeches, and
writers, and takers. The topics are so
prominent, and at the same time familiar,
and the proof so absolute and so handy
to every newspaper reader, that evasion
is out of the question and satisfactory
answers impossible.
Nor can the defense succeed by en-
deavoring to make one count in the bill
so prominent as to overshadow another.
They are all so prominent and so impor-
tant that no one can be Overshadowed
The issues are all living issues, and each
one appeals to the common sense of the
people for righteous verdict.-Cin.

"FRER ADVERTISING. G.-NewSpapers
are almost daily called upon to obtain
obituary notices of estimable people in
private life,whOse surviving friends,s ,sor-
rowing for their loss, get together in So
cieties, committees, etc. and pass reso-
lutisns of coincidence regardless of
length. These they hastily copy and
send to the newspaper with the modest
request that they be published promptly.
Now, if good people only died occasion
ally, it would be different, but every day
some one drops off and ''there breaks no
heart but leaves some one to weep" But
why should they always weep at the ex
pense of the printer? lis very easy to
pass resolutions and comparatively easy
to write them, but to print and publish
them, costs somebody hard cash.. Why
should it always bethe newspaper men,
who probably did not know the deceas-
ed, and perhaps never heard of him? If
societies, bank officers, military compa-
nies. or Sunday school classes wish to
express their sorrow, let them do so, but
at their Own expense.-EXc.

The Question TO be Considered.

The Democratic leaders f1atter them
selves that, because they placed two ex-
Union soldiers on their ticket in this
State, the bloody shirt will not appear in
the canvass. They are evidently afraid
of that undergarment; and yet they are
not we'll informed as to what the term
signifies. The Republicans, however, in
their platform very clearly indicated
what the issues are to be. These are so
well put that there need be no question
as to their meaning, and the Democratic
managers will find it difficult to evade
questions upon which the people will be
called upon to pass, Notwithstanding the
presence of Ewing and Rice, and not
withstanding the great Congressional
backdown, since the adoption of the Re-
publican Indictment.
l. The people are asked to arrest the
mad career of the party now controlling
Congress, which is plotting to regain
| through legislation the cause they lost in
| feld-viz.: the establishment of State
suplema by the overthrow of national
sovereignty.
2. The Democratic party, by withhold
ing supplies, sought to coerce the Exc
cutive into signing measures which he
conscientiously disapproves, thus aim
ing to accomplish by starvation the des-
truction of the government, which the
same men, substantially, had sought to
destroy by the sword.
8. That the extra session of Congress
compelled by Democratic conspirators
cost heavily in money, injured the COM
mercial and industrial interests of the
country, tampered with the finances, re.
opened and stimulated sectional contro-
yersy through the avowed determine
ton to repeal all war legislation, and
sought to inaugurate areactionary revo
luton, designed to restore full power tc
a "solid South" in the affairs of the gov
ernment. t..
A. This perpetual disturbance of the
country, which is the response to the
conciliatory policy of the administration

through the ballot box, be. promptly

AFTER all the clamor concerning the
rights of States in which Democratic
politicians indulge, and the preposterous
claims set up for the uses of nullifica-
ton, it is apparent that the people of the
United States, in spite of the political
idiots of all breeds, are Nation. The
main question is. What shall the Ma
tionality be? The States lately in the
Southern Confederacy are of the Solid
South, and they are compacted. They
are building up Nationality that is the
most despotic, exclusive and vehement
ever known among men. The attach
ment of the Southern man to the South
is greater than that of the Russians,
Germans or French to their own country.
The violence with which the doctrine of
the supremacy of the States is asserted,
is not for the benefit of any or all of the
States, but is disguise for the assump-
ton Of the superiority of the South to
all the rest of the country. The South
ern cry against sectionalism amounts to
demanding for the South the command
of the whole country. The question is
whether one who does not consent to be
subject to the South has any sort of right
to take part in the government of the
United States. The Northern Demo-
crat is, under the rule of the Confeder-
ates of the Caucus, not a citizen Of the
United States, but subject Of the Solid
South, which is the latest and worst
form of the Southern Confederacy. That
is not the Nation we spell with a big n

after a hard fight which lasted till day.
break. Exploring the Zambesi and its
tributaries he discovered seventy-two
falls and rapids on the Liambai, the
northern branch of the great river, and
made careful studies of the Mosi-oa-
Tunya, the Victoria Falls of Living
stone, which he found to have a height
of $50 metres. The intention of De
Serpa Pinto was to traverse the country
of the Matabeles, which lies west of the
Transvaal, but learning of the massacre
of an English expedition commanded by
Captain Patterson, he turned off into the
Kalahari Desert, the Sahara of South
Africa. Here he suffered terrible priva-
tiOns. For four days he was without
food and for seven without water He
arrived at the Limpopo River with only
eight men, and after Subsisting entirely
on game for several weeks, he finally
reached French missionary station in
the Barutos country. From there he
journeyed to Pretoria, the capital of
TranSvaal, on the way losing one of his
men, who was killed by lion. Then he
traversed the land of the Zulus without
accident, coming out at Durham on. the
coast, where he embarked for Egypt.
At Zanzibar he saw the steamer on board
of which, he says, Henry Stanley was
preparing, with much mystery, an enter
prise about which there were many
versions" He arrived in Lisbon on the
5th of June, bringing with him the seven
survivors of his negro escort, and two
other comrades of his travels-a goat
and parroquet, presented to him by a
lady at Loando. These faithful friends
went with him across the continent, the
bird sometimes riding on his shoulder
and sometimes flying from tree to tree,
and the goat trotting along by his side,
travelling dairy, that never failed to
supply him with milk, save for few
days in the desert.
No doubt Senior De Serpa Pinto will
publish book by-and-by, as all African
travellers do. Along with the illustra-
tions of the maiden General, the white
faced, bald-headed negroes, the brake
forests and the great salt marshes of the
desert, which it will, of course, contain,
he should not fail to include portraits of
the parroquet and the goat. They are
certainly entitled to share in the honors
of their mastery. Y. Tribune.

ding is given from the most reliable re-
ports that we have been able to obtain
in relation to it. Our reporter had an
interview with Prof. Mott at the depot
Monday evening rs he was leaving the

facts narrated above may be relied upon
by the reader as absolutely correct.
There is considerable hard feeling among
the Spiritualists of the city because so
few of them were invited to be present
on accession of so much Importance, but,
as we have said before, the whole affair
was intended to be strictly private, and
we should not have felt at liberty to re-
port 1t. full of interest as it was, were it
not for the fact that hundred silly ru-
mOrs are atiOat in regard to the occur
renee which can only be corrected by a
plain statement of the facts-and such
we have herein endeavored to give.
