The Brick Pomeroy clubs in Ohio are
credited with causing the decentralization
in the Greenback ranks in that State.
Commenting on the situation, Pomeroy
says in the Lacrosse Democrat: "Mr Ew-
ing is not and never has been an advocate
of what the Greenback men demand.
He is not their chief apostle, and never
will be. He is-a toadying Democrat, and
cannot rise above that level. He wears
the collar of the Belmont, and, like a pa
tient political mule, when the whip of his
master is laid over his back, he moves
ahead as his master guides"
Evidences multiply that the German
vote Of Ohio will be cast almost solidly
for Foster. The Editor of German
newspaper in GAINESVILLE says if Ewing
makes the canvass as a soft-money man
he will neither vote for him nor support
him in his journal. He must make the
canvass as a soft-money man, or else lose
the whole National vote, which will not
be cast for him if he lodges that issue.
Between the Germans and the Nationals
the Democrats are, therefore, certain to
come to grief, for what pleases one class
we'll offend the other.-N Y Tribune.

SOUND WORDS.

At the graduating class at West Point,
recently, Secretary McCrary and Gen.
Sherman were among the speakers who
gave the graduates advice. In their
addresses they spoke as follows:
Secretary McCrary in substance said :
at is your good fortune to be graduated
from an institution peculiarly national
in its character and under the patronage
of the government of the United States.
You are soldiers, not of locality, not
of section, not of State; you now
become soldiers of the Republic. APP
plause.1 Soldiers of the grandest, most
powerful nation on the face of the earth.
Applause. You should find inspira-
ton in this thought. 1t is to be your
function to live for the perpetuity and
glory of this nation, giving to it your
services and may be life itself. You are
officers of an army which is the defender
of the rights of forty five millions of peo-
pie to-day, and before you lay down
your commands, perhaps hundred mil
lions You are not only soldiers, but
American citizens. Your interests are
the interests of this great people, and are
to a great extent in your hands. They
believe in you, and should war break
out in this land, the people would rally
round you, forming an army capable of
defending the rights and the life of the
nation against all enemies, foreign and
domestic" Applause.
When General Schofield said: IL have
the honor of presenting to you, young
soldiers. your chief, the General of the
army" General Sherman came forward,
holding the merit list in his hand, and
was loudly cheered. He said: 81 hold
this paper, containing sixty-six names,
young gentlemen, as evidence that you
are now competent to become commits
stoned officers in the army of the United
States-that you are41ualified to COM
mand men; and that is a very high
privilege. How important the place OF
the man who handles the lever of the
locomotive or the steam engine that pro-
pels ships on the seas how much more
important the position, where the ma
chine is composed of human muscles and
brains, with every integral part of the
machine animated by human soul.
There is no position of greater response
bility. Whether called upon to morrow
or next week, be ever ready to defend
that flag with the genius of West Point
and the genius of the military profess
sion. 1 like to see the professors en-
courage the men to work for the stars,
but in complimenting the first five on
the list would not discourage the five
who are last. You know enough if YOU
make good use of what you know. To
you we look for our cavalry leaders.
Applause. Let danger come when it
may, keep the head true, and the lowest
man on the list may become lea.ler
There is one school above all schools,
and that is the school of life. You are
the center of the affections of family, of
a town, of community. Enjoy your
vacations; but when the orders come, 90
to your posts and do your duty, showing
that you are both physically and men,
tally qualified to command men,"

THE LATEST INVENTION IN

USEFUL HOUSEHOLD ARTICLES
Within the last few years there has
been expended great deal of inventive
thought and genius upon what may
prOperally be classed as household arti.
Giles, the most noted results of which are
the production of a sewing machine, the
wringer, the washing machine, the car.
pet sweeper, &c. Almost every week
we chronicle the advent of some new in
vention by which the cares and Iabors of
housekeeping are lessened, and woman's
work made easier.
The newest thing to challenge our at.
tention and gladden. the heart of the
hOusekeeper, is, what is called the Nov
city Brush Holder, Carpet Stretcher and
Sweeper, a very simple continuance de
signed to firmly hold in position any kind
of a brush or buster; having an extension
handle that enables one to wash or dust
windows, walls or ceilings without the
aid of step ladder. That is one of its
conveniences, and it is also one of the
best carpet sweepers in the market, hold
ing the brush firmly at any angle. 1t
cleans the carpet thoroughly, raises no
dust, and does not wear the carpet like
the ordinary broom or brush, and will
outwear half dozen brooms. As ham
die for the scrubbing brush it is the best
device ever made, no more kneeling on
the floor, no more back aches or sore fin
gers.
As a carpet stretcher alone it is worth
its cost, as carpet of any size can be
laid evenly without any of the labor and
vexation usually attending such work.
1t is strong, simple, thoroughly made,
cannot get out of order, has no screws,
lever or hinges, is compact, cheap and
durable.
1t is manufactured by Brown 4 Co.,
Cincinnati: the well known manufactur.
ers of useful household articles, and is
sold only by their agents to housekeepers.
The real utility ofthis article will at once
be seen by those most interested, and we
predict for it large sale. Every house.
keeper in the land will want one.
Any reliable lady or gentleman wish
ing renumerative employment, would do
we'll to secure the agency for this county,
which can be done by enclosing a stamp
for descriptive circular and terms, to

In speaking Of the evils ola Democr attic

has the following to say:
''Kansas is filling up with immigrants
AT rate unknown to the previous history
of the West. They are pouring in from
all parts of the country. Even Missouri,
which should be more inviting field
Than Kansas for those who seek good
lands at low rates, is contributing her
share to the swelling tide. A Democrat
ic Legislature is greater dispopulator
than that trinity of evils: war, pestilence
and famine"

1t is getting quite fashionable for per.
sons in high standing in society to not
only sign, but to become greatly inter
ested in others signing petitions for the
pardon of noted criminals. In comment
ing on such petition that is being
circulated for the pardon of DIR. Ashmore,
wife murderer of Jackson county, the
Atchison Champion makes the following
sensible remarks:
The crime of wife murder is becoming
dreadfuily common in this country, and
if there is an offense which should shut
the gates of mercy against a human soul,
it is the crime of the strong man who
cruelty dashes out of life the poor creature
who for his sake has given up every
prospect in life; who has made his fate
her own; and who in weakness and suf-
fering, grit about, it may be, by the very
shadow of death, has brought his children
into the world. Yet this was the crime
of DR.. Ashmore- He should be left to
the clemency of Heaven; his ofense has
placed him beyond the lawful bounds of
human forgiveness

The locomotive engineers in Indiana
are giving the people grand whistling
benefit. The Legislature of that State
last winter enacted 8 law requiring that
locomotives sound their whistles for at
least eighty rods at every crossing In
cities and towns this keeps the locom-
: olive screaming ail the time and it has
become such an annoyance that cities
are passing ordinances suppressing the
nuisance. In the country and in the
villages. however, there is no relief, and
the people must either endure this nui-
sance or tear up the roads. The object
Of the law is said to have been to prevent
accidents at railroad crossings; but ex-
eerience shows that such accidents have
been greatly increased. The engineers,
however seem to enjoy it, and they take
no chano2 of being fined for not whist
ling the full eighty rods. II WAS the

UNBELIEF OF LITERARY MEN.

UNBEL1EF OF LITERARY MEN
Under the above heading the Chicago
Inter- Ocean comments on series of ser
mons that are being delivered by Prof
Swing showing that the relations of liter
airy men to christianity have not been
indefinite or discouraging. After giving
extracts from the Profs. lectures thai
acquit literature of atheism, the Inter-
Ocean closes its article as follows:
A lady, met by the charge that there
was no evidence in Dickens novels that
the author believed in or respected the
Christian religion, departed from the
usual rule of seeking to find sentences
that might be construed into hints OF
unbeliet, and read the novels to find
proofs of belief. She found in the course
Of her reading seventy five paragraphs or
Sentences in which tender: touching, re-
spectful, or appreciativc references were
made t. the Christian faith. y gentle
man who made like investigation as to
Thackeray's works reports number of
most eloquent and touching references
to Christian belief and character. In the
same spirit Professor Swing takes mp the
works of men like Goethe, and it would
seem proper that in this spirit all young
people should be encouraged to invest
gate Instead of assuming that all great
literary men and women are unbelievers,
and asking the young to accept this as a
declaration of fact, would 1t not be well
to encourage young readers interested in
the religious character of their favorite
authors to investigate for themselves.
The verdict will be fairer than that gen
orally given without examination, and
the influence will certainly be better
than that of an ungenerous assumption
founded on false premises.
