All Along the Line.

The first notes of the great Political
Campaign are being sounded, and no
citizen will have done his duty to the
Country. who has not prepared himself
to intelligently and conscientiously cast
bis vote in October and November. To
this end no better medium is now pre-
sented to the people of the West than
the WEEKLY OHIO STATE JOURNAL, fer
years and years reckoned second to none
in its reliability and enterprise. To
meet a popular demand the publishers
have prepared the following schedule of
prices for four months subscriptions
covering the full campaign, which are
unprecedently low:
Single Subscriptions. .... ....... 4Oc
Clubs of 10, each ....... ...-.... 35c
Clubs of 20, each. SOC
And for every club of ten cam
paign subscribers we send the agent a
splendid likeness of General Garfield,
representing him as Youth, Soldier and
Statesman.

Coffee as a DiSinfectant.

The Poonah Observer, paper pub
lished in India, states that recent expert
ments made in that country have proved
that roasted coffee is one of the most
powerful disinfectants, not only render
ing animal and vegetable effluvia innoc-
uous, but actually destroying them. A
room in which meat in an advanced state
of decomposition had been kept for
some time was instantly deprived of all
smell on an open coffee roaster being
carried through it containing poend of
newly-roasted coffee. In another room
the efluvia occassoned by the clearing
out of cesspool was completely reno
we'd within half minute by the use of
three ounces of fresh coffee. The way
in which coffee is used as disinfectant
is drying the raw bean, then pounding it
in mortar, and afterward roasting the
the powder on a moderately heated iron
plate until it assumes dark hue. The
coffee must, however, be pure, as chico
ry possesses no deodorizing power.

A LETTER signed Southern Demo
crat," and published conspicuously in
The Memphis Avalanche, contains these
approved Southern declarations: white
men who dare to avow themselves here
as Republicans should be promptly
branded as the bitter and malignant enc
mics of the South. The name of every
Northern man who presumes in this
community to aspire to Office through
Republican votes should be saturated
with stencil. AS for the negroes, let
them amuse themselves, if they will, by
voting the Radical ticket. We have the
count. We have thousand good and
true men whose brave ballots will be
found equal to those Of five thousand
vile Radicals" This is infamous, but
the avowal is honest. The South will
do Just what is here outlined, and if
General Hancock is elected, he will owe
his success to men who not only do this
dirty work, but who are 80 hardened as
to be rather proud of it.

Weather Study.

In recent communication to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, Prof. Tice of st. Louis,
contributes the following:
"As everybody is interested in the
weather, so each one should qualify
himself or herself to read the sky, and
to interpret the meaning of the winds,
sky and clouds.
"An intensely blue and serene sky
indicates heavy rains and severe storms
in from twelve to fourteen hours. A
gray hazy sky indicates a continuous
dry and generally hot weather.
"a southeast wind indicates the exis-
tence of low barometer, if not storm
center in the northwest. The aspects Of
the sky and clouds will tell whether it
means mischief or not An almost i'm
mediate cessation of rain may be ex-
pected as soon as the northwest wind
sets in; fair weather will ensue it, and
continue from three to four days. The
passage of "a storm center from the Gulf
and southeastward of our locality Is
partial exception only SO far that it
clears off more tardily.
There really are but two primary kinds
of clouds. namely, (D those that float at
great height above the earth's surface,
and (2) those that float below Those
that float high, say from six to nine
miles, are of a fibrOus and gauZy Struc-
ture; they are hence called cirrus, that
is, hair or tuft clouds. The clouds that
form in the lower strata of the atmos-
phere, say from one TO three miles above
tie earth. are regular in structure, and
of more or less nOdular form. They are
called the cumuluS, that is the heap OF
pile cloud.
while the cirrus remains nebular in
structure and indiStinctly defined againss
the sky no rain need be expected. I'm
der the low barometer, however they de-
velop 10y accret!On, become smooth and
compact in structure and much enlarged
in volume. They now sink lower and
become sharply defined against the blue
sky. Rain may be now expected, espe-
cially if they unite with the cumulus
forming the nimbus or raincloud. If
the cirrus, instead of forming the nim-
bus, reascends, it dissipates, and no rain
need be expected until lowers again,
which generally is in twenty-fOur
hours.

JOB has the credit of having been a
very patient individual, but the wool
growers of this country are emulating
him wonderfully in the staid compla-
cency with which they are waiting for
somebody to come along and offer them
fifty cents for their clips. Whatever else
can be said of the American farmer, it
must at least be admitted that when he
forms a well grounded opinion it takes
more than a trife to move him. 1t is
with unfeigned satisfaction that we
note this disposition to hang on. If all
would do so there would or could be but
one side to the question of the value OF
wool. The one unpromising feature of
the case is that enough are constantly
letting go at lower figures to supply the
| urgent wants of buyers, thus preventing
the necessity of offering more. There
is no Disgusting the fact that a great deal
Of wool has changed hands at about for
| ty cents. but we still insist that there
mas been no need of such concession
on the part of the selling interest. Those
who have sold for such figures just that
far damage the prospects of those hold
ing for the half dollar, who, we believe,
number more than half shose interested.
There is this to stimulate holders-that
| while they may or may not in the end
get the full half dollar. they will at least
get as much al their fellows, with every
chance of getting more.-[Pittsburgh

Now the people most decidedly do not
want to change from this most desira-
BILE condition, which has come to them
after years of struggling. They differed
very widely as to the wisdom of the
measures adopted by the Republicans,
not because any part of the people did
not desire prosperity. but because some
believed that the measures chosen would
not secure that end. The Republicans
insisted that great prosperity would at
once result from resumption, and the
end proves that they were right. But
whether the methods were the best
or not, the majority of the peo-
pie do not want change now that the
desired end has been reached. If one
wanted to migrate from Europe to
America, and, though not believer in
the safety and excellence of a certain
line, had been obliged to take it, he
would be silly enough to turn back, as
he had reached the American shore in
safety, and cross the painless and peril
Gus sea again, for the sole purpose of
getting to America by better line.
1t is enough for practical men that
they have got across in safety, and are
on the firm land, where they wished to
be. When the Democratic party or the
Greenback party insists that its boats
are of better build or safer management,
no sensible business man will consent
to go back upon the painless sea of f.
nancial uncertainty. Prosperity is here,
and the people are content to keep it
even if the Democratic politicians are
not.-N. Y. Tribune.

CONTRAST these two extracts and
then draw your own conclusions. From
The Barnwell Is. c. People: "The
Democrats have obtained control Of the
State of South Carolina, and they intend
to retain it at every hazard and in spite
of the utmost efforts of local enemies
and their Northern allies" From the
Democratic National platform: "The
right to free ballot is right preserva-
tive of all rights, and must and shall be
maintained in every part of the United
States"

he courted by this demagogism made
him the rebel candidate for the Presi-
dency in 1865, and he has ever since had
that bee buzzing in his head. Except
the extraordinary favors which he has

favored army class, there is Il total lack
of material in him to make a hero. He
