THURMAN delegates to the Ohio Demo
cratic convention were cnosen in many
counties of that state on Thursday.
THE Manor statesman wants to 60 back

that he dees not want to get Herr Smiths
place.
AMOS II. MYLIN lives in the country, but
he comes to all tho balls in the city and
his friend, Tommy Cochran, shows him
around.
WILLIAM D. WEAVER is too slow for his
experienced opponents in the district at
torney fight, but his enthusiastic friends
think he can carry two townships.
JOHNSON has been doing big work of
late, and if Adam Eberly does not watcl,
he will be beaten. Adam had the Erami-
ner solid last night yet.
THE Baltimore Gazette, which some
months ago reduced it's price from two
cents per copy to one cent, has been CON-
PEELED by the heavy advance in paper to
return to its original rate.
robson will not be able to control the
New Jersey Republican convention for
Grant, and he has been beaten, horse, foot
and dragons, in the preliminary skirmish.
Blaine will sweep the decks, with Wash

Amos II. Mylin for senator in the lower

have bigger fight than he had two years

the noise are going for the soldier candi-
date.
FREDERICK DOUGLASS Indignantly denies
the truth of the report that he had
promised to solicit Governor Cornell, of
New York, to commute the sentence of
Chastine Cox. He says Cox is a cold
blooded murderer if there ever was one,
and that he richly merits hanging. lie
insists that all he asks for the colored man
is fair play.
The Pittsburgh Dispotch, Republican
paper. speaking of the Kemble, pardon
says: 1t is idle to criticize this infam-
GUS act of officials representing the domi-
nant party in great state. Its every
phase is patent to any one who reads. Not
a repulsive feature of it but stands out in
bold relief. The effect upon the party is a
trivial consideration, 1t would seem that
the moral sense of the public must crush
any party whose representatives could en-
gage in such a bold and unblushing at
tempt to thwart the operation of the law
but this is foreign to the principle involved.
The sum Of the whole transaction is that
crime has triumphed over the state govern
ment.''

CHAREEsToS, May 29.-One of the
most impottant Ioccn nrfences In the
history of Charleston happened oil
cdpesday, last, when the first
stream of water was thrown over q
building ohe'!iundred feet high from
rar SECTION of hose ATTACHED, IL q hyd.
erant.A 1T may SEEM stfange that Il
city Of Charlestons size, population
and cohnnefGal iTnbhh'tance; should
haze existed Two hpndredyears with
no other supply Of water than that
o9talAed, FROM GiSterps which catch
the rainfall, aud with no water for fire
purposes save that furnished BIZ
ordinary spring wells and the tidai
drains, but suchis the fact, and the
completien Of the system of water
works is therefore an event Of more
than temporary Significance. The
supply is Obtained from an artesian
well four inches in diameter sunk
depth OF one thousand nine hundred
and seventy feet which flows at the
rate oftwo hundted and fifty gallons
minute, and which rises in tube
n X o1,
feet. The stream is conducted to d
reservoir which holds over three
million, gallons, and is pumped from
the reservoir into an iron StahGpipS
one hundred feet high, whence it is
distributed tothe water mains. The
works were built by Jesse w. Star,
Jr., an entcrprising engineer, but now
owned by company composed
principally of Philadelphia capital
lists. The city has granted them a

water are doubtless somewhat higher
thania a New orkcr would consent to
pay, hutthe people Of Charleston. are
willing to pay any price for the lux:
ury of water in their houses, and
every plumber in rhe city is kept
busy daX anp night tapping the
mains. To show the convenience
and blessing Of The system it is only
necessary to state thatthcre are to-
d"y in Charleston over five thousand
families who have not tasted drop Of
pure cistcrn water in thirty days; not
drop of rain having fallen for two
months, the cisterns are in consc-
quence very dry.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The Monroe Doctrine simply and
explicitly declares that no foreign
nation shall come over here and slide
down our cellar door; that England
and France shall not hang on our
front gate to do their conrting; that
they can't bring over their own syrup
pots and elder sprouts and make
sugar in our maple grove; that Ger
many and Austria can't spot no bee
tree in our woods; that Italy can't
cut her frcwood ont Of our hedge
rows; that Russia can't spank her
ncighbors children with our butter
paddle. The Monroe Doctrine simply
means that we are the bull of the
woods between the two oceans, and
that the man who joins farms with us
on either side had better not move
the boundary fence until he talks to
us about it, and that he can't subrlet
n patch of his farm to anybody until
we are satisfied that the new tenant
will make n good neiehhor for us.
That's about all there Is Of it.-Bur-
hmyt0n UawkeyH. aar

GIVING AND TAKING ADVICE;

Giving advice is Certainly one Of
the hardest things in the world, both
for the speaker and the person spok-
Ell to. It's the property Of few to be
able to say just the right thing in
the best way and at the proper time;
cand still fawer are able to- receive nd
vice precisely as they ought, without
misunderstanding bar suspicion, and
with a determination to profit by it
to the fullest. But it is certain that
much good council, which is really
needed, and which is dccently given,
fails OF its good effect because the re-
celvcrs of it do not properly distingu-
lsh between true advice and impro-
per interference or mischievous med
ding. "a great deal Of outcry
against mcddling," says an English
reviewer, comes from persons who
most needsome interference with the
swing Of their course of action. How
yioiNntlN Indignant are young people
when engaged in d course Of excite
mqnt or dissipation, or any career Of
passion or splf-will, at "a word or a
hintD'of interference; how jealous of
the, mere Suspicion Of it; how insolent
III thought. and often in word and act,
against the offender! In all head.
long Hoings Of any kind, ana at any
age, there is the same resentment at
any s5::sc' StcXrcrnal check" 1t is
hard to be advised Alright, especially
when ones own conscience approves
of the wisdom Of the counsel; for
none are 50 bold in self-assertion as
those who know they are in the wrong.
But that person, old or young, is wise
who weighs advice for what it is
worth, and i, hi least as ready to ac-
ccpt and rtptt by it as to spurn it and
follow contrary course of action.
The chances are, when person real
ly takes courage to advise You on
any matter, that there is something
worth looking at in what he says,-S.

An Agreeable Surprise

Last Thursday the pastor Of the
Madisonburg Reformed congregation
sent Il me ssenger to all the members
Of that Church, with request to meet
on tie following morning at their Ne"
Church to attend to some very impor-
tant business. AS "A matter, of course,
every one was inquisitive to know
what this every important business"
should be. Inquiries were made To 6nd
out, but no one knew. No alternative
was left but patiently wait until next
morning Hence on Friday, early in
the morning, the request of the pastor
was obeyed-and neatly all the men,
bers came to see "wh. in the world"
was come to pass Well, what did
they find? Why, here WAS Mr.. b. Nj.
Roger with his team, and on the wag-
on an S25 pound Bell for their new
church Where does it come frcm?
Who ordered it? were the questions
NShCN. llC huohNA SiNS'i "'NSi ~ 'sHN
see on the Bell. Where they read as
follows: From McShane Il Co. Bal
timore, Nd, ,''-"Presented to Christ's
Reformed Church at Madisonburg,
Nov. 5tb, 1880. BY George and Sarah
Shafer." This was truly a surprise;
for no one knew Of the coming of such
worthy gift, except few. How
glad all felt that they came to learn
the livery important business! IL is
worth while to feel glad and thankful
when gool friends put such desirable
and valuable gift in ones haud,-a
gift worth 22S dollars! Well may each
member baye exclaimed: God bless the
donors! Such, truly was the Senti-
ment of every heart present.
Last Sunday afternoon this beauti-
full bell sent forth its first musical peals
from the lofty Spire to call the people
together to worship in the chapel of
the new church for the first time.
The ca arch Will be ready for dedi-
cation till about New Year.

all toppled over ana fallen with a
crash into one conglomerated heap of
ruins. But upon striking a light and
finding his pants and vest missing, he

cluded that the racket was made by a
human wretch, who had Invaded the
house for the purpose of robblng him
of his personal effects, and who in his
hasty retreat was getting down stairs
head foremost. And so it proved to
be; the robber had gotten away with
his clothing which contained Ralph's
pocket book, watch keys and other ar
ticles of less importance. Fortunately
