Of an idea, Il thing almost unknown at
the North: at the South IL is q power.
Every family there has It's clientelsge,
sts followers, who rally TO its lead as
quickly, and with almost - unreasoning
faith, - the old Scottish clansmen,
summoned by the burning cross. By
means Of this fact slavery had been per-
petuated for fifty years. Il was through
this peculiarly that secession and rebel
lion became dominant there. This fact
seems to have been dimly recognized,
though not at all understood or appre-
ciated, by those who originated what are
known a. the Reconstruction Acts.
They seem to have supposed, that, II
this class were deprived Of actual politi-
cal position, they would thereby be sborn
Of political influence: so 1t was provided
that all who had any such prominence a.
to have been civil or military officers be-
fore the war, and had afterwards en-
gagged in rebellion, should not be al
lowed to vote, or hold ONCE until re-
lieved from such disability. 1t was q
fatal mistake The dead leader has al
ways more followers than his living peer.
Every henchman Of those lordlings al
whom this blow was aimed felt it far
more keenly than he would il 1t had
lighted on his own cheek. The king Of
every village was dethroned; the mag
vate of every crossroads degraded.
Henceforward, each and every one OF
their satellites was bound 10 eternal hos
tility towards those measures and to oil
that might result therefrom.

have the assurance of creditors receiv-
Ing a legitimate due. The Infirmary
Relief Fund is regarded by them as
their personal property, and they feel
that great injustice would be done
them If the distribution of public mon
ey were to be cut off.
1t seems strange that such view 4
should be entertained, but we must re-
member that our paupers are the de-
scendants of European paupers, who
have been accustomed to receive pub
lie charity for mary generations.
But if people would only bring
themselves to see what n wrong theil
mistaken charity often infiicts on soci-
ETY. at large, the indiscriminate giving
which fosters and sustains and propa'
gates pauperism would cease, and phil
anthropy vested in efforts to induce

Baswell Smith, q well-known and res.
pected resident of this place, after hav-
ing tedious time with diseased foot,
had 1t amputated last week. 1t 10 said
that he bore the operation remarkably
well for . man Of his age. Drs. Britain
and Wiley are the attending physicians.
There were present doctors from Mans
field, Ashland, West Salem, Homer and
the attending physicians.
The funeral of John Parent, who was
drowned in Michigan last week, was held
at the n. z Church, Sunday. 1t was
largely attended. The melancholy fate
Of this young man, who in the sinewy
strength of manhood was claimed by re-
lentless Death. is startling In all its de-
tails. He started from his home in the
morning for the pineries, accompanied
by another young man. A small lake
| they had passed over in safety the night
before But wishing to try the strength
Of the ice, they cut q hole with an tx,
satisfied it seems, that it was strong
| enough, they resumed their journey.
They had not proceeded far when they
were precipitated into the chilly waters
OF the frozen lake. With no help at
hand they hung to the ice with the
strength Of desperation. In vain they
shouted and tried to raise themselves out
Of the water, only to be again precipi.
tated into its chilling depths. At last
help came. The deceased had but q
frail clutch upon the edge of the rotten
ice. His companion had got his knee
upon some strong ice, but could get no
farther; here he hung with comparative
safety. The deceased told them to dc
what they could quickly, for he could
hang on little longer. They tried to
cheer him, and worked only as men car
work In such . cricis. And Just a. they
were about to reach to him the saving
hand he slipped his hold and sank into
the icy waters. The other was rescued
nearly frozen and half sepseless from
lying in the water 90 long. 1t seems al
most impossible that Q man could, fol
one hour and half, hang to cake Of ice
by his hands with his body nearly sub
merged BY water and staring death him
in the face. The body was soon recov
cred. The news came to Spencer about
8 o'clock that night, in the form of q dis
patch, to Rev. G. C. Inman from hi
daughter. wife of Parent, the deceased
Mr.. Inman went to Michigan immedi
stely and brought the body here. Ths
agonized wife and mother Of the deceased
came to Spencer to bury their dead.
In testimony Of the regard OF his fel
low-men, they presented the stricken
wife with fifty dollars. Rev. Fox ol
Huntington, preached the sermon. The
sympathies Of the people are strong
with the young wife who is left widow
and mother at less than fifteen years OF
age. TELL o. PHONE.

The Tobacco Reform.

Oberlin has made . move on the to-
bacco question. sunlcient interest was
felt to give crowded house. many be-
ing unable to gain entrance. Great en-
thusiasm WAS manifested and the COM
mittees appointed have met with very
gratifying success in securing pledges
and creating public sentiment that will
We hope deter the young from forming
q habit Of tobacco using. We notice
that some are disposed to sneer at what
they term the fanaticism of Oberlin, and
prophecy that no good can come from
the agitation Of this question, neverthe-
less it il move in the right direction.
The use Of the weed il certainly an ex'
pensive. injurious. dirty and useless habit,
reason enough for discarding It, but even
those who do not approve its use have
little idea of the magnitude Of the evils
produced BY 1t.
It il sspecies Of intemperance, second
only to strong drink, and though its ef-
fects are not always strikingly manifest,
the medical profession knows that
tobacco II an insidious poison that is
sapping the vitality of our American
youth. 1t produces species of mental
and physical intoxicstion which in mum.
berlees instances has led to taste for
and habit Of using strong drink.
We do not expect to live long enough
to see the reform become general, but in
the distant future the coming man"
will not use tobacco, and in the mean
time il good and wise men and women
will persistently use their efforts TO
spread aknowledge of its injurious ef.
fects and create Q correct moral senti-
ment on this subject they will doubtless
save some. and also aid in ushering in
that happy day when the use Of the nox-
ious weed shall no more foul the air we
breathe or defile our persons and homes:
We give our Oberlin friends hearty
''God speed" and hope this may be only
the beginning Of q reform that shall save
millions Of money to the country to be
used for the comfort, and moral and in
tellectual Improvement Of the men Of the
future.

A few years ago railroad was bull

A few years ago a railroad was built
from Fremont to Fostoria, which has
gradually been extended westward to
Bloomington, ILL.,, where it connects
with tho Chicago and Alton to Kansas
City in one direction, and to st. Louis
in another. 1t is called the Lake Erie
and Western Road. and arrangements
have been made with the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern to take freight
and passenger trains from Fremont to
Cleveland over their track, so that
Cleveland rejoices in rev and direct
route without change of cars, from the
Union Depot to Kansas City. Palace
cars will be placed on the line with out
extra charge to through passengers,
and as the finances of the road are In
excellent condition much is hoped for
the success Of this new company, aud
the advantage to the travelling public
and to Cleveland as the Eastern ter
minus and headquarters of the new
road.

Business, Pleasure and So On.

The following is only a part of an
editorial mention of death and funer-
al in a neighboring county seat:
"The body was encased in beautiful
and costly black walnut casket, manu-
factured by Paul, Sidle & Co. The
casket was opened at the church, giving
the friends and relatives of the deceased
an opportunity to look upon the features
of one they had loved while living, and
whose memory they will fondly cherish.
The corpse was wax-like in appearance
and all expressed great surprise and
pleasure at the perfect preservation of
the body, for which great credit is due
to Spear & Son, who acted as under
taker.
