Ocean DEPTHS,

Here Is an end of all romance about
hidden ocean depths:
We can speculate no longer about peris
in chambers of pearl, or mermaids, or
heaped treasures and dead mems bones
whitening in coral caves. The whole
ocean floor is now mapped out for us.
The report of the expedition sent out
from London in her Majesty's shin
Challenger, has recently been published.
Nearly four years were given to the ex-
animation of the currents and floors of
the four great oceans of the world. The
Atlantic, we are told, if drained would
be vast plain, with a mountain in the
middle running parallel with our coast.
Another range crosses it from NeWfOund-
land to Ireland, on top of which lies a
submarine cable. The ocean is thus di-
vided into three great basins, no longer
unfathomable depths.
The tops of these sea mountains are
two miles below a sailing ship, and the
basins, according to Recius, are fifteen
miles deep, which is deep enough for
drowning, if not for mystery. -------S--t
The ocean mountains are Whitened for
thousands of miles by a tiny creamy
shell. The depths are red in color, heap
ed in volcanic masses. Through the
black, motionless water of these abysses
move gigantic abnormal creatures, which
never rise to upper currents. There is
an old legend coming down to US from
the first ages of the world on which these
scientific deep sea soundings throw a
curious light. Plato and SOlon record
the tradition, ancient in their days, of
country in the western seas where -FOUR
ished the first civilization of mankind,
which by volcanic action was submerged
and lost. The same story was told by
the Central Americans, who still cele-
brate in the fort of Izcalli the frightful
cataclysm which destroyed this land
with its :tately cities. De Bourbourg
and other arch@ologists assert that this
lost land extended from Mexico beyond
the West Indies. The shape of the plat!

keen Yankee should dredge out from its

There is an ingenious Comstocker
Who, whenever he goes down to San
Francisco, stufis his valise with empty
champagne bottles. He then gets a
room at the Palace hotel for one dollar
and fifty day, and Whenever a visitor
sends up card he piles the empty bot
ties around the door, so as to give the
impression that he has Just been lndulg-
ing in an expensive revel. If SAe visitor
makes any remark about the bottles, he
replies: "The governor and some Of his
friends were just in, and, of course. I
had to set up the wine; but / enjoy a

already noticeable in common light stock
ers, which are now weakening. Ship
pers should look out for this.
The demand for stockers seemed TO be
weaker almost everywhere last week
than here. At one or two of our COM
petitive markets that class of cattle de-
clined full 25c per cwt., while on our
market they sold at full prices.
The market for stock bulls here now is
excellent, and the demand will no doubt
continue good until the disullerles are
supplied. Prices, however, are 25@5Oc.
higher than at Buffalo and other points,
and we rather expect a decline.
We never knew time in which our
freight agents were more severely put
to it's to provide stock cars sufficient for
the wants of the trade. Not only is all
the available rolling stock of this kind
in use, but more could frequently be
used to advantage.
Hog dealers are having a few weeks of
Just the kind of markets they need for
successful prosecution of their business.
Prices are not high, but they are so steady
and so nearly uniform that shippers can
all the time keep their business we'll in
hand. The heavy runs, however, will
soon begin, when it will be necessary to
operate with extreme caution.
The run of through cattle on Monday
was the heaviest we nave nad LOT SeNeraI
years. A great part of the day was occu-
pied in loading and shipping out, the
number going to New York alone being
I39 car loads, besides 80 or 40 loads de-
signed for other Eastern points.
A new development in the live stock
trade is the shipment of large numbers OF
calves from the dairy farms of the East
to the States of Iowa and Nebraska, tC
attain maturity in that country and af-
terwards be marketed among their native
hills as prime beef cattle. Calves can bt
matured at much less expense in the
West than in the East.

circular which is being sent to the DEM

Ocratic managers here:
''Spare no effort, stop at no sacrifice, to
elect your Representative and State Sem

depend the election of United States
Senator. With the loss of a United

will undoubtedly prove calamitOus to
the National success of the Democratic
party for years to come. The committee
is especially desirous of being frequently

The number of cattle buyers attending
this market now is larger than ut any
time during the last five years.
There seems to be no foundation for
the rumor that contracts had been made
to deliver hogs in Chicago this winter at
$500 per cwt.
The best cattle on Mondays market
were two loads, averaging l ,41S lbs, sent
in by w. G. Maholm, Newark, Ohio.
They brought $500 per cwt.
The number of live cattle exported
from New York last week was 6lO; no
live sheep were taken; 4, ,27O quarters of
beef and /, ,160 carcasses of mutten were
shipped.
The bulk of through cattle touching
here now is composed of Texas and Cher
okees, with a comparatively light pro-
portion of Illinois, Iowa and Northwest
ern native stock.
An examination of our files shows that
hogs sold one year ago this week 50@S5c
per cwt, higher than they are selling
now. A month later, however, they
were 10@25c. lower than now.
The latest advices from London report
an Over-supply of cattle and downward
tendency in prices. If this should con-
tinue a week or two it would no doubt
affect the prices of export gardes in this
| country.
1t is undoubtedly true that stock cattle
have been bringing higher prices at East
| Liberty in the last few weeks than at any
other point in the country. In view of
this fact it is highly probable that de-
| cline will be next in order, and while
good stockers are still firm, a reaction is

COUNTY HF


Owing to the fact that in this Republic
can county some Democrats have been
elected to county offices, the Democratic
State Central Committee have put this
county down as one of the doubtful Re-
publican counties. We can assure our
Republican friends that this is the thin
nest kind of transparent nonsense. But,
with the vain hope induced by the causes
we have above referred to, of carrying
Fayette county for the Democratic can
didate for Representative especially, and
some of the candidates for county offices,
they propose to flood this county with
nonresident material enough to elect
these candidates of their party, and we
advise our Republican friends that every
other stratagem that their prolific genius
can devise will be brought into requisi-
/ tion to carry ont their designs. We ask
our friends in every part of the county
to be on the lookout for tricks and tramp
voters; and remember this, that every
vote cast for the Democratic candidate
| for Representative to the State Legisla-
ture is vote for Mr.. Thurman, or some
other equally Objectionable Democrat, to
the United States Senate. We have now
two Democrats in this branch of our Ma
tional Legislature who misrepresent the
majority of the voters of the State. Shall
this thing be continued in a Republican
State? You have the power at the ap-
preaching October election to reverse this
thing, so far, at least, as one of these
Senators (Mr. Thurman) is concerned,
for it might be that even one vote would
decide the political complexion OF the
next Legislature of Ohio, though we dc
not apprehend the least danger of the
Democrats electing a majority of the
members of the Legislature; but wher
we have the undoubted power to elec
t every Republican candidate on our ticke
, it is unwise to take any risks. Majori
ties are made up of individual votes. LIE
: every Republican, therefore, determin'
that it is his duty to his country and t.
the good old principles of the loyal part,
p that, through persistent efforts, saved tn
government from ruin by rebel enemies
+ to help, by his ballot, to swell the Repub
! liean majority in Fayette county on tn
: I4th of October next.

State get in their work as they did in
