A Brave Boy.

was teaching school in little town
in Western State several years ago, and
during the winter many farmers sons
and tield-boys entered, who werc not
able to come at other times of the year.
Some of them were dull scholars, but
nearly all were anxious to learn, and
they did not give me near so much trouble
as the few sons of weather. parents who
were also under my charge.
There was one among the sunburnt
faces Of these boys that alw avs struck
me as especially intelligent. 1t belonged
to Henry Chalmers, q lad of fourteen.
He worked for nelghboring farmer
nine months in the year. in ORDER to at
tend school the remaining three; but it
WINS evident he had other sources of in
struction besides those given In the
school, for he often came 10 ME with
questions which showed knowledge be-
yond what could expect from one nc
further advanced in his studies.
Most of the scholars were younger
than Henry, or else about his age, but
there were four or five boys and severa
girls who were older. There was one boy
of nineteen, slow and stupid, but good
hearted fellow, and another of sixteen
George Cassell, whom l never quits
liked. If he was not selfish and unprin
cipled, he was at least very silly.
He always wore exceedingly flash,
neckties; he cooked his hat on one side
and displayed cheap ring, of which h,
was evidently very proud, on his stubb,
little finger.
Moreover, he carried cane whereve
he went, even too and from school, which
seems to me very foolish and conceitet
for boy with sound legs to do unde
any circumstances, but especially so ii
his case.
/ However, that cane proved itself of ut
most service to me and to the scholars
it was not OF service to CasseIl; and me

Fosters War Record.

The Democratic papers are just now
having great deal to say about Charley
Foster staying at home during the war,
and selling calico to citizens, instead of
going into the army. 1t is poor sickly
plea at best, coming from a party, which
had it not been for the loyal people of
this State would, in 1863 have turned
Ohio over to Jeff Davis, and made it a
miserable satellite of the rebel Confeder-
acy Thank God that there were enough
true men at home to keep our beloved
State steady and true to her moorings,
while her gallant soldiers crushed the
Democratic rebellion in the field.
But as to Fosters particular record in
this time which tried mems souls, the
Sandusky Register has the following, and
as Mack knows all about the matter, we
can safely adopt what he says as our own:
Every man and woman in Seneca and
Wood Counties know that no two men
in that section of the country gave as
much to the soldiers, their wives, widows,
and orphans, as Charley Foster and his
father. A prominant lady now residing
in Sandusky was resident of Seneca
county during the war. Her husband
gave his life for the Union, and her min
istrations for the soldier, in the hospital,
on the field of battle and at home, made
her name houshold word in this section
of the State, and her devotion to the
dead soldiers memory, his suffering wild
ow and orphans, is to day as fresh and
green as the sod that covers his grave.
She has known Charles Foster from boy
hood, is thoroughly familiar with his rec
ord as a patriot during the war, and says
that no gentleman in all her acquaint-
ance was so liberal giver for the cause
of the Union, nor gave so much for the
support of the families of poor men in
the army and for soldiers widows and
orphans as he did. The annual contribu
tions of Charles Foster and the firm o
which he was member for this cause
amounted to thousands of dollars. The
! families of soldiers who were needy were
supplied from Mr.. Fosters store whether
they had money to pay for their goods OF
not The firm dealt out thousands Of
dollars worth of goods to such families
simply on the agreement that if the hus
band returned from the war they were tc
be paid for. Many other families of sol
diers, their widows and orphans were
supplied with clothing and food without
dollar of charge. None were evel
turned away empty handed. In every
movement undertaken for the soldier OIL
his family, Charles Foster was one of its
most active and largest contributors
His liberality in this direction was known
all over Seneca and Wood counties.

On Public Speaking.

1t may perhaps be of use to those anx-
ious to become orators to know that from
some cause or other almost all speakers
occasionally not only lose the thread of
their argument, but lose all knowledge
of what they are talking about. L have
seen this occur says writer in one of
our English contemporaries, with many
of our most experienced orators. When
it happens they repeat few vague gen.
civilizations until their thoughts come
back to them, and then they fall back
again into their speech. Thus their tenn
porary wool-gathering escapes detection,
except by those who watch them very
closely. An inexperienced speaker, in
stead of doing this, pauses, gets confused,
and sits down in despair. Another great
mistake of budding speakers, and indeed
of many who are in full bloom, is to
speak too quickly. A person who wishes
to be heard can hardly speak too slowly.
He should pronounce not only each word,
but every syllable of each word distinctly
Mr. Bright once said that nothing had
cost him more trouble than TO learn to
speak slowly. A clear, deliberate utter
ance of every syllable, with pauses to
mark the stops at the end of each SEN
tence, does not produce the effect of
tediousness, but the reverse.

Terrible Kerosene Accident.

Mrs. Mary Anderson, thirty-two years
old, of No. .359 Even street, Williams
burg undertook to light her fire with
kerosene on Thursday evening, and, with
her baby, one year old, in one arm, pro-
ceeded to pour oil from a kerosene can
into the stove. In an instant the can
exploded and mother and child were
both enveloped in the burning oil. Her
son, aged six years, who was sitting by an
open window of the apartment, went on
the third story with a shrek leaped out
and fell to the sidewalk below. The by
ISLANDERS, horrorstruck, fastened to help
the child, while others, more alarmed by
the fearful shrieks from above, hurried
up stairs to witness the terrible suffer
ings of the poor mother, in flames yet
attempting to protect and save her babe.
When the flames were extinguished the
three sufferers were taken to st. Catha-
rine's Hospital, where Mrs. Anderson
died in great agony a short time after
admission the infant fingered till yes
terday morning, dying at eight o'clock.
The boy who fell to the sidewalk is so
fatally injured that no hope is entertain
ed of his recovery.

party was the excuser and supporter of

lof the war; and whose party is today the
champion and servant of the men who
fought to destroy the Union these sold
iers defended. The Democratic press
will find they have undertaken a job
they can not carry out, when they at
tempt to belittle Charles Fosters record
during the war. There were as earnest
supporters of the Union among those
who remained at home, as among those
who went into the army. There were as

their means, who cared foc the sick and

writer in Barnes Educational Month
ly discusses intelligently the Importance
of common schools and the difficulties
encountered by teachers in inducing reg
ular attendance and the maintaining of
uniformity of text books. Another diff
Guilty, complains the writer, arises from
mania among a certain class of farmers
for acquiring all the land that joins theirs.
Indeed it becomes a species of insanity,
and from it men seldom recover. This
is the way it works: So soon as man,
by scrimping and scraping, has saved a
few hundred dollars, he bargains for the
farm adjoining his, and makes the first
payment, giving mortgage for the bal
ance. Now, for years he must scrimp
and save even more closely, to pay off
that mortgage No sooner is this accom-
plished than the process is repeated and
so on, till death ends his work.
Meanwhile, his family is denied every
comfort, his wife is slave, and his child
rem are growing up little better than
heathens. Not that the father means to
be unkind or neglectful, but he is $50
poo" land poor, always with mortgage
hanging over him, always with big inter-
est and big taxes to pay. His home can
not have books and pictures, for these
cost money, and he has none to spare
nor flowers, and the thousand dainty de-
vices which make home attractive, be-
cause the overworked mother has no time
nor heart for such things; and SO the
eternal grind, grind, grind, of their life
goes on, without particle of brightness
to illumine it. X n
Now for the effect upon our public
schools. Such man frequently becomes
the heaviest tax payer in the district
the renters upon his various
farms he often controls votes enough to
turn the scale in the district election.
Now, he has himself and colleague like
unto him elected directors. Do you need
to be told what such board will do?
Poor school houses-for why should he
care more for the schookhouse than for
his home 2-no apparatus, short terms of
school; the cheapest of cheap teachers
.one who will work twenty-six days for
q month, same as farm hands"-become
the rule. Or, if this man does not reach
the dignity of school director, he still
has controlling influence in district af-
fairs, and that influence is all in favor of
\ penny-wise, pound foolish policy.
The effect upon his his own children is
40 less disastrous. They do not attend
school regularly, because they are kept
'ut to work whenever possible five
,ents can be made thereby. They are
eldom supplied with necessary books,
or these cost money, and the money
must go to lift the mortgage. They have
10 enthusiasm for study, for the atnos..
'here of their home smothers it. And
he great danger is that these children
will grow up to curse the world with
multiplied copies of their father.

Ohio in the Van.

The campaign in Ohio opens with
vigOr and confidence, on the part of
the Republicans. They are strength
ened every day by accessions from the
Democratic or Greenback ranks, and
find the old Republican ranks more
united and compact than they have
been at any time since the war. The
Democratic managers already realize
that their chance of carrying the State
is extremely slender, and they are hop
ing only for the control of the Legis-
lature, having some advantages in that
respect from the peculiar apportion-
ment. But it is fair to say at the out
set that their success would be bar
rem one, if they should fail to elect
their candidate for Governor. For the
main Importance of the election in
Ohio this Fall is as an indication of
the probable result in the Presidential
election next year, and the majority of
votes cast will decide in that contest,
as in the choice of Governor. If the
Democrats cannot rally majority of
the popular vote for General Ewing,
they cannot expect to carry the State
for any Presidential candidate repre-
senting General Ewing's opinions
For General Ewing is a man Of unu-
sual ability, an effective speaker, and a
candidate of popular qualities, and he
is more in favor with the Greenback
voters than any man who is likely to
be named by the Democrats for the
Presidency.
Mr.. Tilden, Mr.. Thurman and Mr.
Hendricks are well aware of these
facts. They know, too, that General
Ewing himself would become dam
gerous Presidential candidate, if he
should succeed in carrying Ohio this
year. For that reason, they are not
likely to exert themselves to any great
extent in order to secure for him the
coveted prize OF open and formal
support, they will give him enough, Of
course neither of them would dare
to throw away the vote Of Ohio il
