The name of Daniel StaIey, of Franklin
township, will be presented to the Re-
publican State Convention for the nomi.
nation for State Treasurer. Mr.. Staley
was candidate for the same nomination
four years ago, and, while failing of sue.
cess, received handsome vote He is a
large and successful farmer and his quail
ifcations for the position to which he
aspires are admitted by all who know
him. His character for probity is above
reproach, and naught can be said against
his moral worth. Possessing superior
executive abilities, he would conduct the
business of the Office with such efficiency
and faithfulness as to reflect credit on
himself and honor to the party. Mr..
Staley is native of Montgomery county,
from which county he entered the late
war as private in the Seventy fourth Ohio
Regiment, and his conduct as a soldier
was such that he soon rose to the
rank of Second Lieutenant After
serving his country over two years, he
was discharged on account of disability.
In 1868 he was nominated by the Repub-
licans of Montgomery county for Treas
urer, and was elected by handsome ma.
jority, running largely ahead of his ticket.
He was nominated for second term
and was again elected by larger MAORI
ty than any other candidate. After the
expiration of his second term he retired
to private life. Two years afterward the
Republicans of Montgomery felt that
they stood a poor chance to elect their
county ticket, and in order to give it all
the strength they could, they induced
Mr.. Staley to accept the nomination for
Treasurer once more, and while the
whole Democratic ticket was elected by
,ooiarifiac from civ 70
hundred, he was defeated by only sixty
three votes. No other facts could better
attest his personal popularity and the
esteem in which he was held as public
officer In 1869 he moved to this county
and located on the farm he now occupies
in Franklin township. His nomination
would give the farming element repre-
sentation on the ticket, and would be q
recognition of the fidelity to principles
of the Republicans of the North vest

Milk as a Soporifc.

According to the Pharmacist, it is
frequent practice in the New York Asy-
lum for Inebriates to administer to the
patients at bedtime glass of milk to
produce sleep. and the result is often
found satisfactory, without the use of
medicine. Medicine is there sometimes
prescribed in milk. 1t has been recently
stated in medical journals that Tactic acid
has the effect of promoting sleep by act,
ing as sedative. and this acid may be-
produced in the alimentary canal after
the ingestion of milk. Can this, then,
be the explanation of the action of milk
on the nervous system after long con-
tinued, excessive use of alcoholic drink
Sugar, also, is capable of being converted
in the stomach, in certain morbid con
ditions, into Tactic acid; and lump oi
sugar allowed to dissolve in the mouth
on going to bed will frequently soothe q
restless body to quiet and repose.

We canot be too grateful for the discovery

pain which the patient alone suffers, but in
the distress which it entails upon others.
Most every sufferer from his own personal
experience is aware that the ordinary methods
of treating Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciatica
and kindred diseases by internal medicine,
is of no avail, and SO fast is this impression
gaining hold upon intelligent patients that
they demand more potent remedy. The
discovery of LAwsoN's CURATIVE was
priceless boon to thousands who have been
cured, and the thousands who are now being
relieved of their terrible agonies bear willing
testimony to its virtues.
Here we have CURATIVE agent which
though applied externally exerts powerful
and benehccnt influence on the whole nerve
system-a remedy of indisputable efficacy
seldom failing to afford prompt relief IN
cases of acute or chronic pains in the nerves

THE N LANGUAGE,
The Embarrassmeats Of the Jealous
and UnIearned Missionary.

A writer in the latest number of the
Nineteenth Century, in an interesting
article upon the book language Of
China, mentions some facts which
may help to explain-or at least may
suggest one of the reasons-why our
missionaries make so little progress
in converting the natives of that in
teresting country. The first thing
that a missionary does when he ar
rives in China is to set to work to
learn the language. After he has ac-
cOmplished this, in the course of a
year or so, he begins to write tracts and
to translate portions of the Bible into
Chinese. Then he sets up a printing
press and has these printed in nice
ea-chest characters. And then he
wonders that the natives only smile
and look at him out of their narrow
eyes, as though they wondered at his
being at large. Now, as everybody
knows, the written language of China
is altogether a different thing from
the spoken language, and even this has
so many different dialects that a native
who speaks only his own dialect may
be quite unintelligible to a fellow
countryman from another section.
The book language is still another
thing. For much of the local patois
there are no characters, and the col
loquial language ofthe people is never
written down as it is spoken, except in
the case of farces, songs and parts of
low-class novels, which are written in
what we call dialect" A Chinese re-
porter, in recording the testimony on
a trial, for example, must translate it
as lie goes along into the book language.
Of this there are two kinds, the Off
cial or business language, which is
plain and direct, and the howery style,
characteristic of all Chinese litera-
ture. To acquire this is literally the
work of a lifetime. since, apart from
all other difficulties, it is filled with
obscure figures Of speech, which only
one native-bor can understand with
immense research. What, then, does
our amiable missionary do2 He
writes his religious tracts, and even
his TRANSACTIONS Of tho Bible, in a
provincial patois. The ludicrous eff
feet Of this literary absurdity upon
the minds of an educated Chinese
may be imagined. Of course there
are learned men who have mastered
the l%iterery language Of China, but it
is stated as a fact, and it certainly is
quite credible, bal the loftiest pass
Qges of the New Testament have been
circulated in China in a language
which is associated there only with the
lowest class Of ephemeral iction. 1t
is no wonder that they do not produce
a profound impression.

One day a peasant woman took a
basket OF eggs to the house where the
royal party was lodged. At the door
she met an individual who greeted her
politely, and on finding out her errand.
carried the basket to the kitchen,
which done he returned with a hand
full of small coins. Embroidered by so
much condescension, the good woman
mustered up courage to mention her
great desire to set eyes on the king,
Victor Emmanuel. Why, that's
met sold the person with whom she
was speaking. She looked at him
scrutinizingly; then, after some sec
onds of mute contemplation, she ex-
claimed "0h, meyer ! You won't get
me to believe that. Such a sweet and
beautiful woman as the queen would
ne ser have married a mau 81 beurt."
The king (for it was he) dismissed her
with an extra piece of money, and
proceeded in all haste to ask some
peasants what was the meaning of 81
beurt. $50 uglyl was the reply.
Victor Emmanuel related this small
incident with the greatest gustO.
