A BALL OF FIRE.
Cleveland Leader.)

About midnight Of Saturday, Cal
edonia, Marion county. Ohio, was
visited by a terrific thunderstorm,
accompanied by hail and the most
vivid lightning, fash following flash
10 quick succession, There had been
political meeting here that evening
and the people f om the neighborit 6
villages and surrounding count y
were detained by the storm Sud.
denly the sky appeared as bright as
MONDAY, in fact fine print could
easily have been read, so great was
the light, but strange to say the light
was steady, not fash, after fash, as
it would have been, had the light
been caused by Lightning. A deaten
ing roar was heard, continuing to
become louder IS the light became
brighter. Gratu ], the roaring
changed to kissing, sparkling
sound. It is needless t. say the peo
IL were frightened, al d, upon ru :
oirg into the street ball of seeming
fire came moving through the air
from the rortheast. The ball see med
to be at least twenty five feet in di
ameter AS it neared the earth the
heat could plainly be felt The brdy
struck the earth just north of the Wiz
lage and buried over one-h-!f of
itself 10 the ground. Good judges es
innate the weight at three to five
tons, but the heat is yet so great
it is uncomfortable to 60 nearer than
thirty or forty feet. 1t looks like a
mass of pig iron. 1t was visited by
hundreds yesterday The gen eman
who owns the land on which it fell
has been cffered $500 for it.

THE CAMPAIGN.

The political campaign in Georgia
is at fever heat and wakes warmer
as the day approaches for the dePos-
iting of freeman's ballots, when Nor
wood and Colquitt are to learn that
one is defeated aud the other elected
Which oae is to wear the victor 8
wreath is not for us to say, and a
hard matter to determine, as both
sides are sanguine of victory. In
the election of either, Georgia will
have good democratic governor.
The present campaign is only one
of personal preference. Hard things
have been said against each candl
date, not deserved and unwarranted
by truth. A greater federation, kind
ness and charity shoold prevail dur
ing the three weeks left of the cam
vass Division and strife among
friends are not calculated to ia prove
the morals of society or promote
prosperity. Men differ and fall out
about candidates, and estrange the
friendships of life time, when the
election of either will not benefit
them Individually one cent. 1t has
always been the case though and
always will be. Men allow their feel
ings worked upon, become blinded
by partizan zeal, and will go any
lengths to insure the election Of
their favorite or defeat of their OPP
ponent. We have known instances
where men allowed their malice &c
Influence their action, because Ger
tain men in a community whom they
dislike espouse a candidate, they II
turn oppose said candidate, ano
are unrelenting. Men are con
trolled often more by prejudice thar
principle, while not q few look for
ward to reward

WHY WE ARE S WET.

A New York Journal accounts for
the sweetness OF our national dispo-
siiion by the fact that we eat large
quantities of sugar. 1t says We
are the most candy eating, moIasses
swa!lo wing, sugar consuming people
on the face Of the earth. In twelve
years the demand has increased fifty
pr cent, and to-day, with loIIy pops
for school girls, 'reacle for flap,
Jacks, sugar for cakes, tea. coffee
and ies, we devour 700 600 tons of
sugar and 100 600 hogsheads of
mola ses, not to mention a large
amount of honey and smaple sugar
Zach man, woman and child of eur
population consumes forty pounds of
sugar Great Britain beats us in

BACK SALARY GRAB.

Garfield spoke and voted for the
back pay, but when a storm brok e
loose about the passage of the bill his
heart failed him and he refused to
take the ST., 500 In Bundy's ''Iife
of Garfield" page 209, there is a
letter from Garfield to the President
of Hiram ColIege. Hear him:
81 am thoroughly Disguised with
the way my vote on the salary ques-
ton is treated, and feel a. if there
was but little use in attempting to
resist the senseless and wicked
clamor which is being raised on the
subject. Were it not for

tionaI salary, and do not know that

This was three weeks after he
had voted for it. The storm waxed
fiercer, aud then he turned over the
back pay into the United States
Treasury. Such is the record

ALMOST INCREDIBLE.

Information from Tyro, the scene
of the recent somnabulis,ic murder,
is that over hundred people assem-
bed at the coroner's inquest and
preliminary trial. The body of Mr..
Phelps was found lying nrarly across
the foo. of the bed, on the tight
side, his head on his right arm, with
three cuts of an ak, two of which, if
not the third were sufficient to cause
instant death-one high enough on
the head to reach the brain. The
story of Mr.. Click was that he
dreamed the negroes had entered the
store, as anticipated by himself and
Mr.. Phelps. Then followed accord
ing to his recollection, bloody and
terrible fight. When he awoke he
was fleeing down the stairs, and
gradually recovering consciousness
he returned to the room where he
and Phelps bad t 9 sleeping, and
realized at a glance the full horror
Of his deed. He at once fled scream
iug to the house of Mr.. Grub, near
by, and was met by that gentleman,
who was aroused by his cries. Mr..
Grub said his Lamentations we're
heart>rending, and that he told him
at once that be had killed his best
friend in his sleep. The alarm
soon became general, and the neigh
bors collected from all quarters
They all testified that Click exhibit

ants witnesses that Click was a
somnabulist and had frequently in
iured his own person by jumping
from the house window, sometimes
through the glass from the second
story, cutting himself considerably.
He has also been known to get up
and chase some of the family, saying
that the bears in Texas were after
him, and then run a quarter or hall
mile down near the river, and wake

stances were given. The court be

MAINE ELECTION.

The election in Maine resulted
disastrousIy to the Republicans
Murch and Ladd, democrats, are
certainly elected to Congress, and
Anderson may also get in by a
small majority. The republicans
have elected two congressman and it
Anderson is beaten, they get three.
Plaisted, lfusion domocrat, has de
feated Davis, republican, for COVER
nor, from 900 to 1000 majority.
Senator Blaine acknowledges that
the result is a great surprise ana a
damaging defeat for the Repubi-
cans. The democrats 10 Indiana
and Ohio have cause to be encour
ed in their coming fight and will
whoop up things, sanguine of sue
cess. THE skies for Hancock

HANCOCK A MAN OF DESTINY

HANCOCK A MAN OF DESTINY -
Hancock is a man of destiny. Why,
Just look at the record. 10 1868
Garfield brought bill into Congress
to drop the junior Major Generals
That was Hancock. 1t passed both
houses of Congress and was signed
by the President. But before it could
be carried into effect, George IL.
Thomas, the senior Major General
died, and Hancock going up one
grade, was no longer the junior Ma
jor General, and so the law could
not reach him. Then the Republi
cans, still led by Garfield, passed an
act reducing the Major Generals to
three
This was signed by the Presid en t.,
but before it could be carried into eff
feet Meade died, and :he Major Gen
erals were reduced to three by God

authorizing the President to drop
one of the Msjoc Generals. Before
it could be carried out and Hancock
be dropped, Halleck died, and Han
cock becoming the senio, Major
General, he could not be dropped

MARRYING Foa MONEY.
New York Times }

AANCN YIN i'iiSo
There is a notion current that men
very often marry for money, but, in
fact, such marriages. are rare, at all
events, among English speaking
people. By a mans marrying for
money we mean his marriage with a
woman who is unattraclive to him
except in point of fortune DR..
johnson pointed out that where such
marriages occur the man looks only
at the fortune and keeps steadily
out of view attendant drawbacks -
Most men are endowed with too much
sense to contract marriage under
such conditions: they know too well
that the play will not be worth the
candle. Rich men and rich women
ordinarily view matrimonJ very diff
ferently. A rich man having found
the woman who suits hun, rarely
troubles himself much as to whether
she heartily reciprocates the sffec~
ton be entertaius for her. With the
woman it is quite otherwise. She is
continually raising the question
whether he really loves her for her
self, ar d thus, if she really cares fol
him, giving herself vast deal of un
necessary trouble. Some years ago
an American lady of large fortune
married a Frenchman. Of course
friends averred, Needless of the very
bad compliment that they we're pay
ing her, that he married her for her
money but one was sensible enough
to say "Well, think she is very
right to marry him if she likes him
In that case he gets what he wants
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS she what she
wants the man" The marriage has
turned out most happily Rich wo~
man continually mar their happiness
in life by this morbid dread of being
married for their money. They go
on year after year thinking that the
paragon will appear who is all their
fancy painted, and who is to take
Them for themselves. until at length
a period arrives when their personal
attractions wane and they can only
be married for their money. Then
some of them, regretting lost chances,
give themselves away after the fash
ion of Lady Burdett Coutts.
