SoorALND BURNINa.-A Scottish pro-
fessor, Mr.. McGregor, observed at
recent Social Science Congress in
burgh, that ssthere were 80 900 EI
men who had been in graves at Bal
burn for the last 500 years becausd
could not stay at home and mind e.
affairs The Scottish nation would n
allow the English to dictate to them. a
he hoped the English would not try. il
The remark created some excitement,
but things went on well until the profess
sor, having risen again, he was ordered
to ssresw e his seat" The President of
the Congress then ventured, incidentally,
to point out how absurd it was 4sthat the
Bishop of the Church of England should
be able to go in the forenoon to his club,
and have his glass of sherry and enjoy
himself over his paper" when it was
sought to shut the poor man out of the
public house. s'Does the Bishop of the
Church of England do that on the Lord s
day?'' demanded the astonished philoso-
pher. eyes," said the philosophical
President, 81 have seen him myself" !"
As the philosophers rose to go, the Pres
ident said they might congratulate them-
selves that they had not had blows.

A New VARIETY OF S11KwoRM.-It is
UNDERSTOOD that new variety OF silk
worm has been discovered accidentally
in the mountains of Nevada. Natural
ists pronounce the worms "Bombyx
Quereicus." It is silkworm that feeds
on oak leaves, and Is largely used IN
China. It makes several broods in
year. its silk has peculiar qualities. The
fibre is stronger. All other s1lkworms,
Il emerging from the cocoon cut hole
for exit sshich, by breaking the contin-
uity OF the thread in unwinding, renders
it Of little value. The sBombyx quer-
Cicus' pushes aside the threads instead
OF cutting them, and the cocoon is as
valuable as others reserved in ordinary
kinds for spinning by killing the con-
tanned worm. This n9W snkworm is

The Persistence or an Impression.

A remarkable instance of the persis-
tence of an impression, unquickened by
repetition through more than forty years,
is that Of gentleman, living in New
York On December Is, 1885. occurred
the great fire which swept the First ward
east of Broadway and below Wall street,
and destroyed property worth sic, ,OOO,-
O00 At chat time the guardians of the
city's peace were not policemen clad in
uniform, but constables dressed like
common citizens and distinguished from
them only by carrying long slaves
with which to admonish the dis
orderly characters. The subject of
the story, then boy ten years OF
age, was present at the flee, and there
saw a young, black-haired constable
strike with his staff a man who was rails
ing disturbance. A few days ago,
while crossing the river in ferryboat
the gentleman saw a gray haired old
policeman, and it instantly occurred to
bim thBt this was the officer whom he
had seen strike the man forty five years
ago. He spoke to him on the subject,
and found that his recollection was en-
t;rely correct, the officer having been at
the fire and remembering the occurrence
perfectly; he gave, moreover, details
identity in the matte :. The case is
remarkable enough to fld its way INFO
the textbooks. as the account is perfectly
authentic. Y. World.

Gallia county, o., where she resided
until her death. Before coming to Ohio
she was amember of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, but united with
the Freewill Baptist church In Raccoon
Up, soon after its organization. OF this
church she was consistent and active
member as long as she lived, although
for several years she was deprived bv
i'll health of the privilege of attending
public worship. In her home and in
society her christian character was dis
played not so much by profession as BY

The investigation in progress be-
fore one of the New York Courts,
touching the origin Of the Chinese
letter, is producing some rich de.
velopments. The letter was not
only deliberately planned forgery,
but the attempt has been made to
sustain it with perjury. Witnesses
were hired to do this. One of them
was paid $3.50 for his testimony by
the National Democratic Committee.
But they weakened, and made a
clean breast of the whole affair.
They confessed that they were hired
and paid by certain Democrats, to
tell a lie! These poor tools are in
Jail for perjury. The men who hired
them are at liberty. There is no
justice in that. The latter are more
guilty than the former, and they
should be made to suffer the penalty.
Because they are leaders in the Dem
ocratic party should be no excuse.
Their poor tools deserve mercy more
than they. And this /. is the death
bed scene of the Democratic party.
Already it stinks. Bury it as soon
as possible.

Judge Davis, of New York, before
whom occurred the examination of
Philip, charged with criminal libel on
Gen. Garfield, in the publication Of
the Chinese letter, delivered an opin-
ion IN the case Saturday. He finds
the Morey letter a forgery, and Philip
guilty of libel. In the course of his
opinion the Judge said that "upon
Hon. Abram S. Hewitt must rest the

Above siI, don't let US have any polit-
ieai trading or clsp-trap arrangement
that will keep from the Senate our
ablest and purcst man.
sour ablest xnd purest man" is the
JouRSAb platform. Ohio is a great
State, and her Senators should be great
men. Secretary Sherman Is a great
man. 1t he wants the place, he should
have 1t. Not only Is he entitled to it
by reason of his ability, but also by
reason of his services to the Republican
party. It was his able management of
the Treasury Department-his solution
of the financial problem, whereby the
industrial and commercial interests of
the country, were placed upon the bed
rock of unprecedented prosperity-rhat
more than any other influence made >
Republican victory possible. For this,
as well as for his ability, he deserves,
If he wants it, the place OF U. ..
Senator. But we apprehend that the
country would be better satisfied to see
him continued at the head OF the Treas
ury Department. That, however, is
surrounded with uncertainty.
After Sherman we look upon Hon..
Stanley Matthews as the one best gifted
for the place. He has the ability, and
the force of character to maintain Ohio's
in the Senate of the Nation.
AS we said before, our platform is
ability. This alone, in our opinion,
should control the action Of the Legisia-
ture In making the selection. "He
who serves his country best, serves his
party best.'' Serve your country In
the choice of Senator, and you will
glorify your party.

No Republican frauds" have been

other hand, the most villainous fraud
of the age has been traced direct to
the rooms of the National Democratic
Committee. The Chinese letter has
not only been shown to be base for
gerry, but the attempt to prove it gen.
uine by paid perurers has also been
shown. The 'fraud shriekers's are
the real fraud perpetrators. That is
what it amounts to.''

The editor of the Balletin repeats the
silly cry of Republican frauds in New
York, and says:
An Investigation will do no harm,
but will show whether we have or have
not been defrauded of the Presidency a
second time. 1Ht
If the editor of the Bulletin has an
honest desire to investigate election
frauds, we refer him to South ! Carolina.
The victory for Hancock in that State,
presents a field for Investigation, which,
for genuine richhess, beats any otherlo-
cality In the Nation. A correspondent
of the New York Times furnishes the
facts. Here are a few of them.. SO
: In Aiken County cannon were planted
in the street opposite thespolling places,
and Republicans were not allowed TO
vote. at the precincts In Newbury
County the Supervisors and Deputy
Marshals were not allowed to enter the
rooms where the boxes were Kept, and
at one precinct the red shirt ruffians
rode their horses over colored Republic
cans, and murdered one. In George
town the box holding most Republican
ballots was removed by the Democratic
managers and one ssstuffedn with Demo-
cratic tickets was substituted. In Hem
shaw and GreenviIle counties boxes
containing large. Republican majorities
were broken open aud the ballots de-
stroyed, and in other instances they
were carried Off and nothing has been
heard OF them since. In Lancaster
county the Republicans were unable to
vote because the express Office at the
County seat refused to deliver their bal
lots to the Republican County Chair
man.
Here is your opportunity, Mr.. But-
ietin. The New York hunt reminds US of
the shrewdness of the thief who stole his
neighbours pocket-book, and then drop
ped it In wood-pile. When the owner
turned out to hunt for it, the thief was
on hand, seemingly the most anxious of
the two to recover the property. He
was sure the pocket-book had been hid
in the barn. He drew the owner away
from the wood-pile. and kept him on a
"false scent" until the thief g partner
had time to go to the wood-pile, get pos
session of the pocket-book. and safely
make of with it. Barnum and Kelley
cry, "fraud in New York." and the
smaller political rats repeat the cry.
The fraud is not there. 1t is down in
South Carolina, and other Southern
States. Let the hunt be transferred,
and there can be no question about a
successful find.
