Mr.. FoRNEY tells of all insult
offered Gen. Grant, during his travels
while he was at the Hamburg races.
When the General was invited to oc-
cupy a seat in the Grand Stand he
asked as favor that he be allowed to
smoke, while witnessing the races.
The Race Committee readily granted
the privilege Shortly after Grant
had begun to puff contentedly, an off
Ger of the grounds espied him, and
sent an employe to tell that English
man to put out his cigar!' Grant
promptly complied, but ordered his
carriage, and left the grounds. The
officer was much chagrined at what he
had done, not knowing that Grant
had permission to smoke.
We trust this little story is a fabri-
cation. 1t would not be pleasant to
think that a representative of the
Land of the Free would claim a
privilege, even at the Hamburg races,
which was not accorded to others. 1t
would be still more unpleasant to
think that the representative of this
great and enlightened country of ours
placed his respect for the city of Ham
burg on an equality with the enjoy
ment of smoking one cigar.

After Adventures.

Daniel Boyle, aged 13, Louis Mey-
er, aged -, and Frank Cole, aged II,
who ran away from their homes in
Worcester, Mass. last Monday, to go
West and fight the Indians, were lock-
ed up at Police Headquarters yester-
day. The officer who arrested them,
at 2 o'clock in the morning, asked
them what they were doing out at
that late hour. Boyle said that he
had been to fetch some oysters for his
mother, who was sick. He had large
tin can filled with cooked oysters in
his hand The officer asked him
where he lived and he said in Eighth
street, between First and Sixth ave-
nues. The officer escorted the trio to
the East Thirty-ffth Street Police
Station, where they gave their names
and ages as above. Frank Cole, the
youngest Of the three, said that he
had been an errand boy in Tenny' S
drug store in Worcester, Massachu-
setts, and that on Monday last he
stole twelve dollars from the money
drawer in his employers store, and
with Boyle and Meyer started for this
city en- route for the far West. They
went by rail from Worcester to Bos-
ton, and thence came to this city by
the boat, landing here on Tuesday
morning. On the person of Cole was
found a revolver, song book, pock-
et-book containing 1926 in money,
and a large clasp-knife. Boyle was
supplied with two revolvers and a
large can of oysters, he having charge
of the Commissariat Department.
Meyer was found in possession of a
revolver, lot of fishing lines and
hooks, with which they were to sup
ply themselves with food during their
journey after the Utes, and quantity
of smoking and chewing tobacco. The
lads We're taken before Superintendent
Walling, at Police Headquarters, yes
terday, when it was learned that Cole
was an orphan, and that he boarded
with Mr.. Tenny, his employer. Mr..
Wafling notified the parents of Boyle
and Meyer, and received an answer
from Mr.. Meyer that he would come
on after his boy n. Y. Times.

WE are not sure but General Butler
had some excuse for expressions OF
contempt for the newspapers. Some
Of the great daily newspap RS will, IN
their treatment of public men, de-
scend to conduct which the meanest
and most obscure patent-outside coun-
try weekly would not think of being
guilty of. Miles of editorials have
been written to prove that Grant
could not be elected President. Grant
has never signifed his intention OF
becoming a candidate. 1t would be
tremendous undertaking to attempt to
compute the lines of blackguardism
that have been published in the great
citv dailies abount Senator Conkling,
in order to prove his unfitness as
Presidential candidate. Yet Conkllfg
never. in any way, since 1915, signi-
fled a willingness to become candi-
date
In the Presidential gossip of to-day
this mean trait of the city dailies
stands out boldly Your great city
editor makes up his mind to work for
a certain candidate for instance,
in Ohio, Secretary Sherman. Then
he resolves that there is but one meth
cd of putting forward Ohio and her
''favorite son" in the National Con-
vention, and that is by abusing every
other candidate who dares raise his
head. no matter where he halls from.
Some of these journals have at last
discovered that Gen. Grant is not a
candidate, and now they are turning
their attention to Senator Conkling
again. We of Ohio should remember
one thing as we go along-that this
great Nation invested in Ohio stock,
over three years ago, and got an ex-
ceedingly poor return on the invest
ment. Now when we have home
candidate of the sterling qualities of
John Sherman, we should not attempt
to slap other States in the face and
say that our candidate is the only
great man in the country. The
"great moral engine" should not grind
out vituperation of Presidential can
didates outside of our own State.
Ohio's ''favorite son" is a great man
very successful man, but Ohio can
not obtain his nomination at Chicago,
by Safeguarding Blaine, or Conk-
ling, or Grant, or somebody else,
through the medium Of her great
newspapers.

Letter from COIUmbuS.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Jan. 80, 1880.
To The Editor OF The Standard:
Believing that the people of the
county would like to hear something G
about what is going on here, | propose
to write an occasional communication
for THE STANDARD. 1t, Of necessity,
takes some time for legislature to
get into running order, so as to make
any real progress in the work of legis-
lation. This one has been no excep-
ton to the rule, but we are now at
work, and are making fair progress;
though it does sometimes look like
matters were going slowly. The
House being composed of one hundred
and fourteen members is cumber-
some body, and the disposition to talk
is generally very strong. Any one
who is anxious to see business showed
ahead, gets very tired of it. The gas
wasted here is something enormous,
and it is sad to see so much of that
excellent article worse than wasted
On the 7th of this month, at the re-
quest of the President of The Jackson
County Agricultural Society, | attend
ed the meeting of the State Board.
The following topics were discussed:
Tree planting, Relation Of Science
to Agriculture, Long wool sheep
breeding in Ohio, Short horn breed
ing for dairy purposes Agricultural
societies." and "Manures and Fertili-
zers." These discussions were quite
interesting, though not in the main
as practical as they ought 10 have
BEEN
Allow me to suggest in this con-
nection, that it would be of advantage
to the farmers of any community to
have an organization by which they
might meet and discuss such matters
as seemed to them of general interest.
Farmers ought, like every one else, to
learn from the experience and expert
ments of others. Organizations of
this character would give them the
best opportunity to find out what 9TH
ers in the same business are about. |
believe every farmer ought to indulge
on a small scale in variety of eXper-
iments, because that is about the only
way in which valuable additions are
made to the knowledge of farmers.

The Supreme Court of Maine hit
the Fusionists final "spat," last week,
by deciding that the Republican Leg
islature was the legal Legislature of
that State, and that the Fusion gath
ering was not Legislative body.
Upon this decision, Smith the preten-
der, who had been playing Governor,
remarked that he was tired, and
wanted to go home. But the Fusion
lists could not surrender. Your Dem
ocrat, when cornered, never surren-
ders. He just watches his chance and
crawls out on "all fours," and is ex-
tremely thankfulif he succeeds in get
ting out without parting kick. So
the Fusionists did not give up, when
the Court sat down upon them-they
merely adjourned" :" They will doubt
less be on hand at the next Presiden-
tial count with a set of returns =
and Vice-President Wheeler if he lives,
will be pretty apt to return" them.
This Maine business is another Demo-
cratic mistake"

WE publish very solemn commu-
uication from one of our subscribers,
who stops his paper on account of
something he saw in it about paying
the soldiers something. Now if the
Government-which means the people
who pay taxes, owes the soldiers any
thing, it ought to be paid; if the sol
diers have been paid, like those who
worked in the vineyard, every penny
promised them, they have no cause to
complain.
The article to which friend Sickels
objects, was written by the junior edi-
tor, who was himself a soldier 80
months, and perhaps is as much of a
soldier as our friend Sickels.

That is the true ground TO take, and
we have made up our mind to support
the nominee of the National Republi-
can convention. It will not do for
members of a party to set up their in
dividual preferences, and if not graft

The trouble is, to find candidate who
will please all the members of party.
Four years ago, when the Gazette
was so earnestly advocating the NOM
ination of Bristow, We believed that
Bristow, as a Republican, was fraud,
and we do not see how we could con-
scientiously have voted for him, while
we believed that Blaine was the en-
bodiment of true Republicanism.
While in Cincinnati, during the Ma
tional convention. we met member
Of Congress, and he appeared to be
considerably worried. 1t looked then
like Blaine would be nominated. He
was very far ahead of any other one
candidate. The member of Congress
said he had just come from the Gazette
office, and had just had a talk with
Richard Smith, the editor. He said
Mr. Smith was opposing Blaine as bit
terly in private as he was in his paper
He said he asked Mr.. Smith what
course he would pursue should Blaine
receive the nomination, and Smith
reply was that he would be damned
if he would support him.
Now, who is to decide as to the can.

OF this paper quit the of tobacco in any shape He
still has the paint and will fight the
the end.-LMarysville Tribune.
Bravo, brother Our wish is that
you may hold the fort. The senior
editor of this paper knows how it is
himself, for he has had a deal of ex-
perience in that direction, and we'll
tell you how it is: We used to be a
hardened sinner in the use of the vile
weed, either smoking or chewing to-
bacco most of the time, but it is now
nearly twenty-five years since, on a
dark, drizzly night, we determined to
do something desperate. Our mind
was made up, and our will power was
equal to the emergency. Result: We
took from our pockets ever crumb of
the vile weed and threw it with all our
might into the darkness of that dreary
night, and from that moment to the
present we have never touched it. We
confess to little uneasiness for few
days after, but our will power main
tanned the mastery over an acquired
appetite, both for chewing and smok-
ing, and we have had no appetite fol
tobacco for many years. We enlisted
for the war, with the determination tc
hold the fort Fayette Co. Herald.

A HORRIBLE death from abortion, is

A HORRIBLE death from abortion, is
reported from. Uhricksville, Tusca-
rawas county, Ohio. Ayoung woman
was left at hotel, in dying condi-
ton. A physician was called, who
pronounced her dying from the effect
of strong medicines, taken for the pur-
pose of. producing an abortion. The
suffering woman attempted to tell her
story, but died while speaking. Her
story was afterwards learned, and tells
of a rapid rush down the path of sin.
Married at fourteen, she was ill-treated
by her husband, who at one time shot
her in the head. She was at last
driven to life of shame, and took the
fatal dose in den of infamy.

OUR old fighting friend, Joe Eylar,
of the West Union Defender, did not
have word to say last week about
the Maine matter. Eylar and Jones of
the Waverly Watchman, are great
fighters-on paper, but when it comes
down to solid work, they are like the
little boy about which we hear so
much-they have no more to say.
Now boys, nominate Tilden, and
the Republicans will either beat him
at the election, or count him out again,
and he and you will be too cowardly
to have him take his seat.

AN attempt is being made to stir up
breeze about the pardoning of con-
victs by Gov. Bishop, it being limited
IN some quarters that money was used
to move the kind heart Of our late
Reform Governor. We do not believe
that Gov. Bishop was moved by any
such consideration. Gov. Hayes par
doned large number Of convicts, but
we never heard it intimated that he
was bribed. We do not believe that
Bishop made such free use of the par
doning power through kindness of
heart Your politician does not allow
a small matter like that to interfere
with business. The Gov. sought pop
ularity with ''the masses" He is,
considered as politician, very weak
old man, easily deceived. He could be
made believe that by pardoning a
criminal he could make firm political
friends Of all the criminals relatives
and friends When, therefore the
Governor pardoned a criminal he
doubtless believed he was sowing seed
in the political field that would bring
him good fruit.
In politics, the Governor was sim
ply out of his proper sphere He was
never cut out for politician. No in
telligent Democrat is proud of .Bish-
ops Administration. Inscriptions
politicians were willing to use him to
further their political schemes, after
which they would despise him. The
Governor may have made many mis-
takes-we believe he did-but we do
not believe he was bribed. The field
of politics in this State is well rid of
him-let us not pursue after him.

A RATHER amusing case Of an at
tempt at suicide comes from Wapako-
meta, Ohio. A German blacksmith,
named Joseph Nester, concluded to
kill himself It occurred to him that
the surest way would be to cut the
veins in his wrists, which he did But
he lived on. Then he ate some
matches, thinking to poison himself
but he still lived. Then he took an
awl and drove it into his forehead. It
penetrated the skull into the place
where the brain ought to be, but Jo-
seph still lived, and went promenad-
ing along the street with the awl
sticking into his forehead After az
irving at home he pulled the awl from
his forehead, and at last accounts was
awl right.
