Thc Rut hs as Shooters.

A dispatch from New York des.
cribes the shooting by DR.. Ruth
and wife. Mrs. Ruth began with
shooting ut glass balls, and they
were shattered IN almost every case
with u pistol held 81 !eways; there
was miss of two, hut generally
every shot told. When the pistol
was inverted, and aim taken below
instead Of above the line of fire there
was no apparent loss ia percentage
of hits. When u ball was hung by
a string and set swinging Mrs.
Ruth stood eighteen yards off and
made O clean break on her first
shot. The rifle was then handled
through the same series of shots,
and the usual want of grace with
which all woman handle guns was
apparent. When the balls were
thrown up In the air Mrs. Ruth
stood O good distance off and shat
tered dozen out Of fifteen, and
this feature, when encored, was
equally as good. While the lady
shooter chatted with lady specta-
tors, DR.. Ruth began to show his
ability as u snap shot. The sights
of the rifle seemed to be OF no spec
ial assistance to him, for when they
were covered by cord, he used the
weapon on balls placed on stand,
and again at glass spheres thrown
on the ground dozen yards off,
and the Doctor, aiming at the
ground below the ball. would send
II spinning up Into the air and then
rapidly unloading and loading, his
piece would hit the ball in its de.
scent. This double shooting drew
out plenty of applause. Again,
when the balls were thrown up, the
rifle was given turn about, after
the manner of a fail handle, and it
fell into position soon enough
to enable a breaking shot
to be made on the ball.
Balls thrown from side to side were
hit, whether coming from right OF
left. When tired OF breaking glass-
ware, DR.. Ruth picked up u frag.
ment of glass and stepping off q
dozen PAGES held 1t off ln his fingers
while Mrs Ruth, picking a small
bore rifle. took careful aim, and the
glass WAS shattered into powder

DANIEL THARP lives at Samantha,
village six miles north of Hillsbor-
ough, Highland county, He has two
sons, John and Daniel, aged from 25
to 80 years. These young men went
to Hillsborough ON last Saturday week,
got drunk, went home and took the
place. The body of a dead woman
lay in an adjoining room, and the
drunken roughs were urged to keep
quiet. They then assaulted their sis
ter-in-law, and struck at babe eight
weeks old, which she had in her arms.
Then they attacked their father, and
beat him nearly to death, using iron
knuckles. They were put in Jail, and
afterwards fined only five dollars each.

THE great city papers" send out
smart Alecks to gather news For in
stance, young Smith wrote the fol-
lowing to the Cincinnati Commercial:
1.-THE sentiment in the town Of
Jackson is pretty evenly divided, DR.,
Laird, Judge Evans, Captain Yves.
Baldridge, J. M. Trip, Captain A. D.
Crosson and others representing the
Neal element. Charley James. David
Davis, Davis Mackley, Treasurer Hun
ter, Prosecutor Atkinson and Irvine
DUNCAN stand for the Harper element.
Outside of town the feeling is
largely in Meals favor, and if the
wish Of the people is respected he will
have two votes to Judge Harpers one.
We do not care what Smith may
say about our preferences: but to put
Col. DUNCAN down as Harper man
is too bad. Why bless your life, the
Col. is first for Col Vance. and next
for his old chum, Jack Dever.

1sThaf Leader of Leaders,"


There has been sudden and some
what surprising development of Blaine
strength in Illinois, especially in Chi
cago. Blaine Clubs are being organ
lied everywhere, and that considera-
BILE portion, at least, Of the Illinois
delegation, will be for Blaine, is rea-
sonably certain. There seems to be a
rousing up everywhere to the import
ance of selecting = bold, clear-headed
and pure man, as candidate, and to
the recognition of Mr.. Blaine as such
man. There lives to-day no better
Republican than Blaine. A man
whose purity Of character has never
been assailed by any being above the
level Of an irresponsible newspaper
correspondent; a man who, in Con-
gress, has ever been ready and willing
to throw himself into the breach and
bear the brunt of battle in bel alf of
the Republican party and Republican
ulru WIN lids 81
oughly studied the theory of our form
Of Government as to be almost, If not
quite, without a. peer in his knowl-
edge of it; a man who, as President,
would not stand quietly back and say
that armed rebels could defy the laws,
and trample upon the rights Of por-
tion of the citizens of this Nation; a
man who would give US Government
strong enough for the strongest, and
pure enough for the purest.
1t must be evident to any. one who
takes the pains to look over the polit-
ical field, that James g. Blaine is the
first choice of more Republicans than
any other man whose name has been
mentioned in connection with the
Presidency. He is one of the very
best campaigners in this country, and
if nominated his campaign will be a
thorough, able, enthusiastic and sue
cessful one.

The Promotion of personal Holmes

The term personal holiness much
abused as it has been by certain
class Of camp-meeting enthusiasts,
nevertheless stands for very real and
essential thing, and one which every
disciple of Christ is under obligation
to promote in his own case to the
utmost Of his ability. Indeed, the
professed Christian whose life shows
no signs of progress in personal holi-
ness as the years 90 by, has good rea-
son to doubt the genuineness of his
conversion. The grand object Of
Christian endeavor is to become more
and more Christlike. But if at the
end of a year, or ten years, nominal
disciple is still as unlike Christ as when
he began his course, either he was
egreglously mistaken i'll supposing
himself a converted man. or he has
woefully neglected the means ofspirit-
ual growth provided in the gospel.
This is subject of the highest
practical Importance. The Churches
of Christ suffer constant reproach on
account of the unworthy lives. of
members who have failed to make due
progress in spiritual graces. THE
lives of Christians it has been said,
''are the worlds Bible" But a
Christian who in his daily life is no
better than one of the wicked is a
sorry Bible for unbelievers to make a
study of. Like the spurious Gospels
of early times, they bear some resem-
blanc to tha genuine art lie. but differ
widely from it in spirit
When man makes profession of
faith in Christ, his relation to the
world undergoes a radical change
He is Gods witness to the truth
Such a man is not at liberty to con-
slider himself and his own pleasure
alone. If he is impure in thought
a I'd speech, if he is not scrupulously
honest and straightforward in all his
dealings, he dishonors, not his profess
ion merely that would be compara-
lively small matter-but the Lord
whose name he bears. And men Of
the world are as quick to read these
living epistles" now as they ever
were, and as apt to draw conclusions
which may, if teaching be bad one,
UIIuS5 eIclLdI I'LL upOh CllclI SOuiS.
From this tremendous responsibility
no Christian can escape. Even If not
known to men as Christian he can
not elude the scrutiny of him who
searches hearts, and is a silent witness
of every act of life.
1t is, then, Of the utmost import
ance that Christians should give earn
est heed to this great matter of growth
in personal Holiness. And there is
need, especially in the case of young
disciples, of clearer instruction, both
from the pulpit and in private converse,
with regard to this subject. From
the hour of their conversion, believers
should be taught that it is both their
privilege and their duty to make con-
slant advances in the Christian life
toward that perfect manhood in Christ
which the Scriptures admonish every
rhild Of God to seek to attain unto
And this should be done, not for their
salzes only, bnt for the sake Of those
who may, for good riIl, he influenced
by their e1ample.-Lxaminer and

JUDGE WRIGHT committed a very
cowardly and murderous assault upon
Columbus Delano, in Washington
City. The only reason assigned by
Wright for the assault, was that he
thought Delano looked scornfully at
him. When taken into Court,
Wright attempted to set Judge and
officers at defiance. but soon saw his
mistake. He was finally convicted
and sentenced to fine and imprison-
ment His attorneys Immediately ap-
piled to the President for a pardon,
and President Hayes, pardoned him.
Nothing seems to give Hayes such ex-
quisite pleasure as shielding a criminal
from Justice.
