WE earnestly advise our Republican
contemporaries not to go it too strong
in their opposition to Grant. Things
might make it awkward for them
hereafter. And don't mistake the
nature of public opinion upon this
question. There is not one Republi-
can out Of thousand but that would
just as soon have a good man Presi-
dent for third term as for a second
term. In fact the anti-third-term
business is considered nonsense by the
people generally. Here and there
you wil@ind rampant rooster who
says he will not vote for Grant
under any circumstances. But this
style of chap isn't half as numerous
as he was in 1872, nor half as infunen-
tial. The reluctance of Ohio Repub-
icans generally to the nomination Of
Grant comes from a fear that his NOM
ination would result in an anxious,
severe and doubtful battle in Ohio.
Take that fear away, and ninety-nine
out of every hundred Republicans
would rally for Grant if he were the
nominee, with grand and boundless
enthusiasm. Now, as the Herald
does not participate in the above nam
ed fear and is not afflicted with anti
third-termery, it doesn't feel any
and will support him with rush if
he is nominatd.

Grant.

Grant will go into. the Chicago
Convention next week with more del
egates in his favor than any other
candidate. Blaine will be next. and
then Sherman. Grant will have over
three hundred, and will lack from
fifty to sixty of having enough to
nominate him on the first ballot.
Sherman will have little, if any, over
one hundred.
The foremost man is generally sac
rifced for some fourth-rate man, as
Blaine was in 1875. We believe that
Grant will be nominated, but no one
can predict with any degree of GER
tainty. Ii Grant should be nominated,
we believe he would be elected, by a
rousipg majority.

Whitaker.

The case of Whitaker, the colored
cadet at West Point, is now in the
hands of the 'court." Instead of try
ing to find the barbarians who tied
and beat Whitaker, and slit his ears,
this ''court" set out to fasten the
crime upon the victim. Nothing SIM
liar was ever heard of, even in the his
tory Of despots, in the Dark Ages.
The West Point barbarians first chan
ged everything in Whittaker's room,
before any disinterested witnesses
could see the situation of affairs.
Then they set about to prove that a
note of warning which he had received,
was written by himself. This they
succeeded in doing, by having a lot of
''experts" set up for the job. But
they went entirely too far. They had
their experts not only to identify the
note of warning as Whittaker's writ
ing, but they actually, they said,
found piece of paper in Whittaker's
room, from which the note of warn
ing had been torn; and farther still,
on this remaining piece of paper was
part of a, letter which Whitaker had
commenced to write to his mother!
Does any sane, honest man, believe
this story? We think not.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1880-05-27

man should sell all he had and give it
to the poor, and thus himself become
poor. Should the industrious and eco
nomical give their honest earnings to
the profigate poor? No. Neither
did Christ mean that a man should,
when he had made beggar of him
self, follow him around the country
in person. He meant that he should
follow his precepts and his example.
Has Col. Ingersolr any objection to
the pure life Of Christ? Has he any
objection to his tenderness and loving
kindness toward the poor, the unfor-
tunate and the helpless? Read the
treatment of the fallen woman, and
how the guilty debauchees who per-
haps had caused her ruin, were COM
PEELED to sneak off. Read the story Of
the man who fell among thieves
read any part Of Christ's sermons,
parallels, or doctrines, and show us
any thing equal in all the books that
have ever been written.
Let skeptics be fair and honest, and
then if the doctrines Of the Christian
religion cannot bear the test of truth,
let them go down.

A Card.

To the members of the jackson Baptist Church,:
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: Your
kind and courteous letter, accompani-
ed by a fine and valuable suit of
clothes made in good and elegant
style by John A. Lloyd, our merchant
tailor, which you have presented me
as token of your high appreciation
of the series of SIX lectures which ]
recently delivered on Church History,
is received, for which please accept my
grateful acknowledgements. Trusting
that, through Gods blessing, | may
be able to serve you as acceptably in
the future, if we shall have future,
as your valuable expression and golden
words leads me to suppose | have in
the past. And may God who ''loves
the cheerful giver," and who has said,
that it is more blessed to give than
to receive" bless and prosper the
donors in all things; and may His
divine rays undimmed shine on you
all, until we meet in higher worlds.
A thousand beatitudes on your gener-
Gus souls.
I am your obedient servant,
E. W. LLOYD.

IneersoIi's Arguments.

Last week we published a very brief
synopsis of Ingersoll's new lecture,
delivered in Cincinnati, the night of
the same day on which Bishop Simp-
son delivered the sermon which we
publish this week.
lie Ingersoll's literal rendering of
the Scriptures is correct, then we agree
with him, and discard Christ, and his
teachings. If a man is required to
abandon his wife and children, and
his aged parents, and become tramp;
if he is required to sell all his hard
earnings, and give the proceeds to the
lazy, lousy, drunken poor; if he is re-
quired to cut off his hand, or pluck
out his eye, in order to be saved, then
we will take the other road.
But are these passages to be taken
in their literal sense? Most surely
not. They are all used as illustra-
tions. Not one sane man or woman
in a thousand, now believes that men
and women, and children, will be
roasted to all eternity, in a lake of fire
and birthstone, if they fail to believe
something without any evidence Of
it's truth.
What Christ meant was, that man
should do right at all hazard, and al
all cost. A true man will cleave tt
his wife and children, even unto the
sacrifice of his own life; hence there
could be no more powerful illustration
of sacrifice for the right, than that Of
man forsaking his wife and children
The same is true of the illustration
where man must cut off his right
hand, or pluck out his eye, if such I
great sacrifice could ever become nee.
essary in order to avoid sin.
Christ never meant literally, that q

The seventeen year cicadas, or 10
Gusts, as they are propulary called, are
making their appearance in considera-
BILE numbers in some Of the Southern
counties of the State at the present
time. The swarm now emerging may
well enough be called the Marietta
swarm, as it has been credited to that
locality for almost century. Its first
recorded appearance there was in 1895.
1t appeared there again in 1912, and
this time the great W on its wings
stood for war. The next visitation
occurred in 1929, and many counties
Of Southern Ohio are reported as
sharing in this swarm. There are
many that remember the swarms Of
1916 and 1868, and now a new gener-
alton is emerging from its long con-
tinued subterranean existene. The
life Of the insects is proVerabial short
and therefore the popular belief, long
established in this country that the in
sect in question had term of seven
teen years was rejected by naturalists
as in the highest degree improbable.
European men Of science especially
ridiculed this belief as a popular SUI
perstition. The late Professor Agassiz
took up the question in this frame of
mind, but with his characteristic can
dor he soon acknowledged that the
scientific PROBABILITIES were III this case
at fault. and that the popular belief
in regard to the cita la was strictly cor
rect, conclusion which American
entomologists had already abundantly
established. The insect does no great
damage on its emergence except to
young orchards within its limits. 1t
deposits it eggs in the small branches
in a rough way, and sometimes prunes

THE Cincinnati dailies-Gazette
and Commercial-furnish some rich
political reading. They were, short
time ago, ready, to denounce any Re-
publican who should attempt to keep
down State pride, in the choosing of
delegates to Chicago. Ohio must be
solid for Sherman, at all hazards.
Now these able journals denounce
the Republicans of Illinois for arous-
ing feeling of State pride, in the
interest Of Grant. 1t really seems
funny, dosen't it?

Random Thoughts.

Last Sunday was a beautiful day
clear, but not oppressively hot. AS [
took my COW to pasture in the morn
ing, | could hear the mournful song
of the locusts in Palmer's and Pick
rel's woods.
As is my habit on fine Sunday morn
ings, | sat on the balcony in front of
my residence, looking at the people
going to the Sabbath schools. The
male teachers, and many of the male
pupils, call in at certain places and
get cigars and-and- forth, and
with roll Of filthy tobacco rammed
into their mouths, make their way to
the house of God!
1t is a mile from the place where [
was sitting, to Pickrels woods, yet |
could very distinctly hear the locusts.
I took my cane and started there. On
the road | overlook some eight or ten
persons, men, women and children,
with baskets of provisions. These
persons were John Erlenwein, the old
German cooper, his children and his
grand children. [ asked the old gen
tleman if they were going out to have
family picnic. He said yes; he rare
ly got to go out of town. [ told him
| was going to the woods, to hear the
locusts.
When | reached Palmer's woods |
sat down ON the dry leaves, among the
Mayapples This woods consists of
small trees, averaging about foot in
diameter, and standing thick on the
ground. The trees are mostly oak.
The song, or stridulation of a locust
only lasts few seconds, but when
there are thousands, perhaps millions
of them at it at the same time, the
song is continuous, and sounds much
like the song of the early frogs, known
as rain toads. Each locust makes a
noise sounding much like ''Pha-a-a-
loh." The latter part is in much
lower key, and can all the time be
heard as ''roh,' ''roh.,' This latter
sound has sonorous, metallic ring,
like the faint tones of a far distant
cow bell.
As l look up through the tree tops
toward the sun, [ see the locusts con-
stantly passing backwards and for
wards from branch to branch. Their
wings are Of q dark color, tipped near
the body with dark copper hue, and
their eyes are copper eolored; but the
wings being transparent, when viewed
towards the sunlight, look as white as
FURNISHED silver Isee them sitting on
the branches, and their wings flash
with a brilliancy equal to diamonds of
the first water.
This is the fourth time that [ have
lived to see and hear the locusts, the
first time being 81 years ago, in the
year 1929. [ can scarcely hope to
live to hear the locusts next time, in
the year 1897. Before that time
will be either enjoying "a sweeter
nobler song," or -.
While am sitting here in one OF
Gods first temples" writing, a hall
grown rabbit comes within ten feet Of
me- -stops-looks-and then turns
and runs away. You need not have
run; would not have harmed you
even if | could have done so.
After | had written the foregoing
walked up through Pickrels woods
There were locusts everywhere-or
the trees, bushes, fences, and on the
ground. They all the time kept NOV.
ing from place to place, making the
most of their short lives. The ole
dry shells, from which they haG
emerged, were sticking on the fences

OFTEN when reading the Doth chap

OFTEN when reading the 29th chap
ter Of Genesis, we have thought that
the mob of Sodomites who surrounded
the house of Lot; when he was enter
tanning the angels, was composed of
men about as wicked as men gener-
ally got to be; but these Sodomites
were gentlemen and scholars compar-
ed with Chillicothe roughs. Last
week nine young men, white and
black, followed woman three miles
out Of the city, beat and abused her,
and would have committed a fearful
outrage upon her, had not several
farmers come to her rescue. Even
then, when her rescuers were armed
with shotguns and revolvers, it was
difficult to save her.
The committee of 101 who were
appointed to renovate that wicked
city, have not succeeded to any very
great extent.
