OHIo.-The Republican State Convention OF
Ohio, which met at Cincinnati, last week, was
the largest and one of the most enthusiastic ever
held in the State. Charles Foster was nominat-
ed for Governor. He had been objectionable on
account of his connection with Hayes betrayal
of the Southern Republicans; but he has seen
his error, aud sincerely repented of it. He is
very popular, and the Republicans are confident
of sweeping the State by heavy majority. One
favorable sign is the fact that the Convention
did not undertake to force an endorsement OF
Hayes upon those who objected to his policy.
They simply commended him in a general way,
together with the Republican members of Con-
gress, in connection with his vetoes The plat
form is an excellent one, and takes issue with
the Confederate Democracy in q style that meets
the approval of the most "stalwart" Republi.
cans.

A PROPHET IN DANGER.-Once, long time
ago, there was a man named O'Driscoll, who
was fully persuaded that resumption would knock
this country into financial cooked hat. He
wrote communication to the Chief, to that Of
feet, only last Winter, and was SO certain that
the thing would pop, the moment resumption
tonched it, like powder at the touch of a live
coal, that he earnestly requested us to publish
the communication before the first of January
go that he should not be considered prophet
after the event had taken place. In that COM
communication, the first Of July was fixed as
the remotest period to which the business of the
country could possibly 20 before smashing.
Well, here it Is less than month till the first OF
July. Everything works smoothly, and the bus
iness of the country is in very satisfactory co n
dition, everything considered. Unless that
smash comes mighty quick, 0'Driscolps reputa
tion as prophet will suffer. The only danger
now threatening is, that the Democrats and
Greenbsckers in Congress may manage to unset
tie business, before they quit aud 60 home.

The Good Old Deacon.

The squibs uttered against New Eng
land deacons have little or no justification
If a tub Of butter or barrel of apples is
made up Of alternate layers of good and
bad, it is said to be "deacOned" The
epithct does not refer to the character OF
deacons, but an old practice of "deacon.
ing hymn.
Fifty or sixty years ago hymn books
were not so common as they now are.
Some churches owned only two books. 1t
was then the custom for one of the dca-
cons TO read two liacs Of a hymn, which
the congregation sung. Other lines we're
read and sung in the same way, uutil the
hymn was sung through. As class,
dcacOns have been the most trusted and
influential men OF New England villages.
II man died leaving property and
family, the deacon was made one of the
executors, and the guardian of the widow
and the tatherlcss. Ii the neighbOrs had
dispute about property, they "left it
on" to the deacon. Was son wayward,
the good deacon was as frequently as the
good pastor asked to talk" with him.
In the "RecollectiOns" oil an old gentle
man, an anccdotc is told which illustrates
the character of at least one of the New
England deacons of the olden time.
Elisha lIawley, Of Ridgcteld, Connec-
ticut, was II soldier of the Revolution,
and a deacon. He was u good man of
business, but he never charged a pur.
chaser one cent more that the article was
worth The Golden Rule was his rule of
life.
One day he learned that widow had
been reduced from n competency to poverty.
He visited her. Fearing lest he might
wound her feelings if he should offer mon
yor charity he said;
MADAM, think owed your late hus-
band fifty dollars, and have come to pay
it to you as his legal representative.
"I1ow was thatP' asked the lady, some
what startled.

years ago, sOonatter you were married, |

amount of two hundred dollars. | have
been looking over the account, and find
that rather overcharged him in the price
of some chairs-that is, could have af-
forded them at somewhat less. | have
added up the interest, and here, madam,
is the money!
The tears came in the widows eyes; she
|.balf-suspected the deacon had constructed
the debt by willing that he had made an
overcharge. What was she to do?-the
money was on the table, and the deacon
had left the house,

Changes of Foundation,

From the Terre Haute Express.
There are very few who have any ade.
quate idea of the change of population
that has taken place in this country since
1873. Besides the local changes, at least
$500, 900 have emigrated to new states.
The tide has been principally from the
older communities, but Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa
have had their emigrants as well as i'm
migrants. The current of immigration
has been toward those sections in which
there is cheap land. Many of those who
were immigrants to the section OF country
west of Ohio and east of the Mississippi,
while it had government land, have be.
come emigrants to newer regions. Several
Of them were IN debt for their land when
the panic came, and the increase in the
purchasing power of money put them in
such shape that they had to get together
substance and 90 west. Others, again,
went in debt hcedlessly and extravagantly,
were sold out and had to hunt some locali-
ty where they could take new start.
And the children of many of the old set
tiers finding their old homes too narrow
for them, went west. E"
A great emigration went from Ohio,
Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. Men
who were once pioneers are pioneers again.
The overcrowded cities of the east have
not contributed to the tide of emigration
as much as has been supposed; while it
contained mechanics and artisans from the
cities, it was mainly composed of farmers;
men who had been trained to work the
soil. Emigration societies have sent out
of the cities the larger number of those
who have bent their course towards the
region of cheap land. In many instances
we'll to do farmers have sold out and gone
where they could command more acres.
The states and territories wherein is To-
Gated cheap land will show large in
crease ofpopulation, when the census is
taken next year,

world. 1t has l0S drivers, thirty Of whom

is, as yet, the only white man who has
been over the entire route.

died they each became brilliant star in

THE GLOVE AND THE LIONS.

King Francis was hearty king, and loved roya
sport,
And one day as his lions fought sat looking on the
COURT
The mobiles filled the benches with the ladies in helr
pride,
And 'mOngst them sat the Count dc Lorge, with ont
for whom he sighed.
And truly twas gallant thing to see that crownine
show,
valor and love, and a king above, and the royal
beasts below.
Ramped and roared the lions, wthIhorrid.laughing
Jaws;
They bit, they gared, gave blows like beams wind
went with their paws
With wallowing might and stiled roar they rolled on
one another,
Till all the pit with sand and name was In thunder
ous smother.
The bloody foam above the bars came whisking
through the air.
Said Francis, then, "Faith, gentlemen we're better
here than there"
Dc Lorge's love o'erheard the king, beauteous,
lively dame,
With smiling lips and sharp, bright eyes, which al
ways seemed the same.
She thought the count, my lover, is brave as brave
can be;
He surely would do wOndrOus things to show his love
of me.
King ladies, lovers, all look on; the occasion is
I'll drop my glove, prove his love- great glory will
be mine.
She dropped the glove to prove his love, then looked
at him and smiled;
He bowed, and in moment leaped among the lions
wild.
Tho leap was quick, return was quick he has re-
gained his place.
Then threw the glove, but not with love, right In the
lady's face.

FROM the Ierre Hauto Express.
The Chicago Tribune charges that the
policy of the Greenback party to pay the
public debt in United States notes, would
necessarily require an immediate issue of
81, 400, 900, 900 Of greenbacks, and there
fore the advocates of this measure are
Imitation lunatics."
We charge back that the policy of con.
tractionisvs to pay this sum in coin,
would, by the same parity ofreasoning re.
quire the immediate coinage of two thous-
and four hundred millions of standard
dollars. 1t will take no greater number
of greenback dollars than of coin dollars
to pay the public debt; and if payment in
the former would result in an unhealthy
initiation of the money volume, how would
such result be avoided by payment in
the latterp II initiation means certain
volume of money in proportion to the pop
ulation and business of country, il mat
ters not what kind of money that volume
is composed Of.
The fact is, and the public should no
longer remain ignorant of it, that coin
payment means no payment
The public debt was not made TO be
paid at all. 1t was created as perpet.
uai, untaxed investment, for the owners
and their posterity for all time 10 come.

Il Now Order of Farming.

Fromthe West Chester Record
Some years ago DIR. Jacob Price, Oi
West Chester, purchased the Atkins farm,
near the General Greene, in East Goshen.
Immediately after the purchase the doctor
commenced new system of farming. He
sowed rye among his growing corn when
in tasscl. This sowing furnished in the
spring not only an early but abundant
pasturage. In the succeeding crop of corn,
grown in another field, clover was sown
at the same time as the rye. This sowing
took well and gave II good growth, which
has been pastured during the present
summer. The men are covering the latter
field with manure for wheat, which with
the rank clover stalks still standing, will
make an excellent mould. The present
corn crop, though SOwn late, is uncquallcd
in the township. The ground was ma
nured and the manure plowcd down, after
which the field was lined ut the rate of
forty bushels per acre and cOmpostcd in
the hills. Rye will be sown to be follow
ed by another crop of corn nextyear and the
sowing of clover in the fall. During the
present fall an additional number of acres
will be drained. from which the timber
has, during the present summer, Lccn cut.
This acreage will be cultivated next year
in common with the present corn field.
As to fencing, the doctor has nearly his
whole farm inclosed with plain wire
fence without barbs. Two posts are made
from one ordinary post and placed fifteen
feet apart. The fence consists of four
strands, and over years usage proves
that it will etiectually accomplish all the
purposes OF fence at less cost than a
rail fence, and without the liability of
swagging. These are new notions and
the old-time farmers are beginning to
think well of them.
