The Democracy OF Defiance county
show appreciation for Democratic editors
in a substantial and pleasing way. Some
twenty or thirty Democrats called at the
house of Mr.. Elmer White and present
ed him with a beautiful gold watch and
engraved the following inscription:

A son of Washington Duggins drove a
horse and spring wagon into Eaton on
Saturday evening last and pitched him
on Cherry street, until he could attendto
some business. When he returned, horse
and wagon were gone. They were found
on Sunday morning north OF Eaton, the
horse detached from the vehicle with a
wound in his neck, apparently from a
pistol ball. And thereby hangs a tale.
Who can solve it?

A newspaper and a newspaper editor
that people don't talk about, and occas-

The men and business that an editor
sometimes feels it a duty to defend, at a
risk of making enemies of another class,
are often the very first to show their in
gratitude, consequently we shall pursue
the even tenor OF our way, and do what
we conscientiously think right, without
regard to the smiles, frowns, criticisms or
cash of sore heads.

Coroner Michael was called upon last
Saturday morning to go eight miles north
of Eaton, and hold an inquest on the
body of Miss Julia Wear, daughter of
Isaac Wear, who had committed sui
eide by hanging herself in the hay-mow
early that morning. She had been at
tending a religious revival in the neigh
borhood during the week, which may
have been the cause of her committing
the rash act, as no other can be assign
ed. She was about twenty-five years of
age.

We hear sc many rumors OF new rail-

this neck of woods, and see so little done
practically towards the consummation of
that desired result, that we give the va
rious reports as they are made public
with a grain of allowance. The latest is
that an Engineer in the interest of the
Baltimore and Ohio is surveying through
here for a road from Columbus to Louis

north of the Eaton turnpike. Well, we
hope so, but We'll wait for more signs
yet.

Elegance of H0me.

[ never saw a garment too fine for
man or maid; there never was chair
too good for a cobbler or a cooper, or a
King to sit in; never a house too fine to
shelter the human head. These 'eIe-
ments about us, the glorious sky, the
imperial sun, are not too good for the
human race. Elegance fits man. But
90 we not value these tools for house
keeping little more than they are
worth, and sometimes mortgage house
for the mahogany we bring into it?
had rather eat my dinner off the head
of a barrel, or dress after the fashion of
John the Baptist in the wilderness, or
sit on block all my life, than CON
sumo all myself before I got to a home,
and take so much pains with the out
side that the inside was as hollow as an
empty nut. Beauty is a great thing,
bnt beauty of garment, house and fur
niture are tawdry ornaments compared
with domestic love. All the elegance
in the world will not make home, and

real hearty love than for whole ship

A Sharp Shine-'Em-Up

When Sol Smith Russell, the actor,
was last in Detroit he thought to play
a trick on the brush boy in BARRIERS
shop by offering the lad a 800 bill after
the broom had done it's werk. The
boy received the money with his usual
thankee," and placed the money in
his vest pocket. What did I give
your" asked Sol after little time.
Twenty dollars, sah,' was the COM
placent answer. And was that too
much?" Well, sab, when you hand
ed me dat bill s'posed you would be
in for an extra brush long dis after
noon, and wanted to save maxim
change! In case you gwine to 1eab
town this mawnin' I'll get de bill bust
ed up an hand ober your sheer!" It
cost Sol half dollar to get his bill
back, and there is one gallery god in
this city who will never applaud him
again.

There is Always Room At ahe Ton.

Daniel Webster once said to young strug-
Cling lawyer: Young man, seek for eminence
in your calling-theres always room at the top !"
This remark has passed into popular proverb,
and has received another illustration in the
wonderful success of the e 95 Per Cent. Sterling
Rubber Boot" When the Candee Co. first put
these goods on the market there was general
prediction of failure, on account of the relative
high price necessarily asked for boot of such
quality But the utter wortillessness of all
other rubber boots had filed the community
with Indignation, and the fact that the company
had themselves faith enough in the goods to
give three months warrant on them, and TO
stamp that warrant on the boots, and to provide
place for permanent record of the date of
sale so as to fix the duration of the warrant
showed degree of confidence and good faith
which tempted buyers to give the boots trial.
And trial SO fully demonstrated the great
worth and economy Of the boots that they are
gradually displaclng all the cheaper, goods.
Solid merit always wins

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.
Dr. stora.s ON Woman's sphere.


One of the most foolish questions
ever asked is, What IS going to be the
sphere of woman when she is SO edu-
Gated? The sphere? II she don't make
her own we may stop prophesying. For
six centuries women taught at Bologna,
taught in mathematics, the classics, nat
ural science, philosophy, the civil and
and the canonical law, anatomy and sur
gerry, and medicine; taught when some
times thay must veil their faces lest the
thoughts of the students should be dis
tracted from the beauty of the subjects
to the beauty of the speaker. Author
ship is all open to women in. every de-
partment. Woman has been q physician
since the days of the "Iliad and the
Odyssey" In France and in Russia to-
day, as in the medieval time, women are
freely received into the ranks of medi-
cal practitioners and often instructors.
In England and America it is going to
be so. I don't know about the law, but
they do say that a woman is one
of the most skillful conveyancers in
London. don't know about
the ministry, though it is scandal
In parishes sometimes that the
minister's wife writes the most brilliant
passages in his discourse. I stopped
writing mine long ago, lest that should
be said about me. cts woman
to have the suffrage?" I don't know; if
she wants it she will have it, as sure as
the revolution of the earth continues. /
remember that Spain in her grandes,
time had the government of a womant
the blue-eyed Isabella, the Catholic,
gentle and strong, under whom this
continent was discovered. I
remember that as far as any monarch
governs in England, or ever will, En-
gland has the government of woman
to-day, who was our steadfast friend in
the long agony and under the heavy
gloom of civil war; whose virtue, whose
intelligence, have commended her to
the admiration and honor of every
American heart while the name Of Vic
tOria continues. The fact is,
that women, from Isabella down, have q
prescriptive right to this continent, and
the only wonder to any thoughtful man
is. that they are willing to let men live
here at all. So, if they want the stuff
rage, they will be sure to have it, and I
don't know but when it comes it will
turn out to. be the precious amethyst
that drives drunkenness out of politics.

LEAP year originated with the astron-
omers of Julius Caesar, As B. G. They
fixed the solar year at 365 days six
hours, comprising, as they thought, the
period from one vernal equinox to an
other. The six hours were set aside,
and, at the end of four years, forming a
day, the fourth year was made to CON
sist of 366 days. The day thus added
was called intercalary, and was placed q
day before the Gath of February, the
sixth of the calends, which was reck-

AFTER long coaxing, with no little
use of the whip, we have seen a balky
horse started by putting lump of dirt
in it's mouth. The mind of the animal
seems to be set on not going, and the
point to be gained is to divert it from
the idea entertained, and this the earth
does efectually. So soon as the horse
gives his attention to getting rid of the
earth out of it's mouth, it forgets it's
balkiness and can be started

by Cotton Mather, in IT'S, to Fleet.
Like mothers in-law generally, the im-

Husband and Wife.

The Catholic Columbian thinks that
"A great deal of the misery and unhap-
piness that exist in families might be
averted, in whole or in part, il the hus-
band and wife would only try to under
stand each other and show little more
forbearance with each others faults.
Incompatibility of temperament is only
another name for stubborness, and will
ever exist where the parties insist on
misinterpreting each others defcien-
cies. Where this mutual understand
ing exists, everything moves along
smoothly. Il a mistake is made it is
passed over without comment, and does
not become the cause of chickering's and
dlssensions; if hasty word is spoken,
its effects are laughed away and forgot
ten as soon as uttered. In this way
much trouble is avoided that the con-
trary course will inevitably bring about.
Home should ever be the abode of peace
and contentment, and there can never
be necessity for contrary state of
things, as there can be no justification
therefor.
