Slow News.

Much that is not very important is put
into the newspapers nowadays; but the
ideas of the more ancient editors as to
what is really worth telling, were very
defective indeed much SO as werel
their means of getting news and sending
it abroad.
Wendell Phillips in lecture deliv-]
cred in New York city, noted the won
derful growth and power of the press IN
the direction Of journalism. This is an
agent Of civilization that has developed
chiefly within fifty years. sesls
The account of the battle of Waterloo,
which, Phillips said, was the grandest
event Of European history in this CEN
tury, occupied only one-third of cols
umn of the London Times. Compare
with this journalistic enterprise, that
which lays a full-page history of the
Ute massacre of ten persons in Colorado
before the readers of our great dailies.
Garrison was mobbed in Boston in
1885, and narrowly escaped being
hanged. With all the files OF the Boston
papers of that year before him, Mr..
Phillips conld not find anything like a.,
detailed account of the event, which
shook the city while it lasted.
When President Harrison died in lS41
it took ten days for the news to reach
Springfield, ILL.,, from Washington, and
then Abraham Lincoln disbelieved tt&
report because it seemed impossible
could reach there SO soon.
Now In the newspapers you buy ia e.
afternoon you 'smay read the words.
Queen Victoria spoke to her Parliament,
since the sun rose in England " or what
a congress of European represents
said and did on the banks Of the Bos-;
phorus the evening before. As Phillips:
pertinently says: ssThe man who reaas
the paper has telegraph wire that r
meets him with the world, and Il
that does not read might as
Robinson Crusoe on his island. =.

Van Pelt's Gratitude,

HILLsBORO, o., January s, 1880.
TO the Editor of the Standard
DEAR SIR wish, through the col
umns of your paper, to return thanks to
yourself, and many other friends in Jack
son, for your kindly interest in my be-
half, as candidate for the position of Sec
ond Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Of the
Ohio Senate, an interest that united with
that of other friends over the State, would
have been successful, had there not inter
Vened other causes, over which we could
have no control. l refer to the election
of Capt. Downey, of our district, to the
first position in the Senate, which, of
course, shut off all other claims from our
district And in this connection, | must
say of Senator Pollard, although our first
acquaintance was made on New \ ears
day. at the Capital | found him q whole
SOuled gentleman, earnest in his interest
for his constituents, and he told me just
before going into the caucus Saturday
night, that he would have Il position for
one Of us, and from the earnestnesS or
zeal he manifested in our behalf, | felt as
sured he would make good his promise,
which he did in the case of Capt. Dow
nev: and as his position was voted for
first, instructed Pollard to withdraw my
name from the contest. To Senator Pol
lard. as well as to all other friends who
aided me, | return my heartfelt gratitude
and sincere thanks.

CORYDON, Iowa. Jan. 8, 1885,

CORYDoN, Iowa, Jan. 3, 1880.
To the Editor of the Standard:
As we promised in last, we will give
the readers Of your valuable paper a
a few words about how our people put
in their time when not at their vari-
GUS occupations. Every little hamlet
or town has one or more nice neat
church buildings. The Methodist
churches are the most numerous, but
the Presbyterians, Baptists, Christian
and other churches are common, and
in passing through the country where
it is well settled you will find neat
church houses, and in the absence Of
these you will find that the school
houses are used to hold worship i'll.
Amy one coming West need not fear
but they can find church societies any
place they may locate, for the western
people are Jealous in the good work,
and spare no ordinary means to have
places in which to serve the living God.
We believe they as people will do
more in this way than older settled
States, for they desire to maintain a
good reputation abroad. The people
of the West are jealous Of the name
they have abroad, and know there Is
an unjust prejudice against the West
in some Of the more Eastern States.
The citizens Of Iowa are mostly

The New Light.

The Scientific American has full
description of the new electric light,
invented by Edison. 1t consists OF a
lamp, from which the~air has been
pumped, and in this vacuum IS placed
the burner. This burner consists of %
piece of carbon, between one and two
inches in length. 1t is the shape Of a
horse shoe. A piece of card board,
known as Bristol board-the same as
that upon which business cards are
printed, is cut into the desired shape,
being about an eighth Of an inch wide.
These little card horse shoes are placed
one upon another in box, with tissue
paper between them. They are then
subjected to a high heat, by which
everything in the card except pure
carbon, is consumed, or driven off.
They are much reduced, and are not
thicker than a common sewing needle.
They are tough and can be bent nearly
straight. One Of these little horse
shoe carbon burners is placed in the
lamp, and a. wire is connected with
each end.
These wires pass out of the lamp, and
are connected with the battery. The
air is then exhausted from the lamp
as before mentioned. By turning a
small screw, the electricity is permit
ted to pass along one of the wires, and
thus through the carbon:
The light is said to be superior to
any gas jet, and does not flicker like
burning gas.
THE Scientific American says the
only thing now to determine is, will il
last? It has been in operation several
days, and shows no sign of exhaus-
ton, or giving out, and Edison, the
inventor, has full confidence that il
will be permanent.
The cost of the lamp itself, includ
ing the carbon burner, is less than 2;
cents; what will be the cost of the
battery, and the supply Of electricity
we have not learned.

from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, but .
other States are represented more or
less. Whisky drinking is looked down
on here as a killing evil, and to show
you how much it is countenanced we
refer you to the town OF Corydon as a |
sample. 1t is the county seat of
Wayne county, and has about 1000 !
inhabitants, yet there is not saloon
In the town. Leon, the county seat of
Decatur county, has no saloon, and
there are many other towns we could
mention iii the same condition, these
are not exceptions. Where there is
no whisky or beer sold, there you will
find the people peaceable, and indus
trious. Iowa is proud of her schools,
and well she may be, for they are the
grand key on which she builds up her
reputation as ranking among the first
States in this mighty NATION. The
law requires six months of school in
each school district, each year. Both
sexes are employed as teachers in the
schools, but the ladies have the lead ip
numerical strength III this line; and
the fact is that they are gaining
ground in the government of schools,
for last year about one dozen were
elected county Sup't in the State.
Those elected before have given their
hearts to the work, and proved that
they are competent not only to teach
but govern also. Score one for the
women Of Iowa.
The duty of 5 pit is to examine all
applicants for teaching. visit the
schools as often as they can in the
county, arrange and take charge Of the
county Normal school, which lasts
one month in each year, and takes the
place of Institutes. There are many
other duties we have not room to
enumerate.
The young folks enjoy themselves
in various ways. Dancing is not a
popular amusement generally speak
ing, but sometimes they have very
nice social hops, as they usually call
them. Social gatherings with simple
amusements and conversation takes
the lead, interspersed with music and
refreshments.
Music is the ruling passion Of the
young people in the West. There is
scarcely well-to-do farmer who has
a daughter or son but has an organ or
piano in his house, and when the
young folks gather in they make the
very air tremble with melody, for the
; pure air of the prairies gives them
plenty of lungs, and under proper in
structors the voice becomes that harE
that the poet says, has a thousand
strings. The climate is too pure here
: for lung diseases.
Most of the young people out here
: especially the girls, are members O
some church, and come down on tn
: young men if they do not act lik
men. Taking it all in all, we have a
nice youngpeople in Iowa as any plac
in the United States.

Maine.

The rebels in Maine are badly beat
ell, so far. When the gang were
sworn in, but one Republican quail
fed-Eugene Hale, and he attempted
to get the House to proceed in a legal
manner, but the rebels had their in
structions, and paid no attention to
Hale or to the law Or parliamentary
rules. The House could not get a
quorum, and could not legally trans
act any business. In the mean time
Governor Garcelon's term of office ex-
pired, and so Of the members of his
Council. No Governor could be elect
ed, because there was no legal Legis-
lature to elect him, and the Republi-
cans cannot now be sworn in, even if
so inclined, as they must be sworn in
the presence Of the Governor and
Council, and these offices are all va
cant. If a Governor should be elected

Got His Foot in 1t.

On last Thursday Hon. George W..
Williams, the colored Representative
from Hamilton county, went to a res
taurant in Columbus, kept by man
named Beck. He saw Representatives
Negley and Vallandigham at the table.
He spoke to them, and then took his
seat at the table, and ordered refresh
ments. The waiter told him they did
not entertain colored men, Mr. Will
liams asked if these were the orders Of
Mr.. Beck when the waiter said they
were. Mr.. Williams sent a boy out to
ask what Mr. Beck said, and the boy
returned saying that Mr.. Beck sus-
tanned the waiter MI. Williams then
asked if they refused to entertain him
because he was a colored man, and the
waiter said that was just the reason.
Mr.. Williams then gave notice that
he would bring suit under the Civil
Rights Law, and went to the Neil
House and got his dinner.
The House of Representatives took
immediate action, and resolved that
as this was an insult to the House,
and a violation of the laws of the
United States, a committee of investi-
cation be appointed: The resolution
passed unanimously.
On Friday Beck and Representa-
tives Negley and Vallandigham, visit
ed Mr.. Williams, and Beck said he
knew nothing about it, and regretted
it, but that he was lying was proven
by the fact of the boy going out to
see him while Williams sat at the ta-
BILE. AS Mr.. Williams had already
engaged Attorney Gen. Nash, and
Maj. Lloyd of Cincinnati, to bring
sust under the Civil Rights Act, he
told Beck that the matter was in the
hands Of his attorneys.

Garfield for Senator.

We went to press last week at 3
o'clock P. M. on Tuesday On Tues
day night the Republican caucus Of
the Ohio Legislature was held to nom
mate a candidate for .. S. Senator,
and this was too late for us to get the
result in the paper last week. Early
on Wednesday morning we received a
dispatch from Senator Pollard, and a
dispatch from some other person at
Columbus, whose name we could not
read, stating that Garfield had been
nominated by acclamation. All the
other candidates-Dennison, Taft and
Matthews, withdrew.
There is not a particle of doubt
that Garfield is the first choice of a
vast majority of the Republicans of
Ohio

L. M. BEMAN, Representative from
GaIlia county, made US call on Sat-
urday. The Legislature adjourned
over from Friday until Monday.
Mr.. Beman is a live man, and he
will not be afraid or ashamed to let
his constituents know what he is doing.
He promised to send US such bills and
other documents as he thinks will be
of public interest so that we may be
able to inform the people what is be-
ing done. He says there has already
been bill introduced to tax church
property, the same as other property.
This bill will be of interest to all the
people Of the State.
Mr.. Beman informed US that it was
he who sent Us a dispatch on Tuesday
night of last week, stating that Gar
field had been nominated for Senator.
The operator either at Columbus OF
Jackson, had got his name III such
hape that we coul d not read it.

WE do not know whether we will
ever learn how to avoid swindling doc
tors, and swindling patent medicine
quacks.
Last summer we received an adver-
tisement from r. E. Sellers & Co., of
Pittsburgh. We notified them that
they must pay in advance. They sent
the money for the first quarter. We
began to think that they might be
honest, and continued the advertise
ment to the amount of over seven
dollars, but we can get no answer
from them, although we have written
twice. And now we,have received a
notice from Nelson Chesman & Co., of
st. Louis, advertising agents, that
Sellers & Co. failed to pay their debts
as long ago as Dec. 1, 1878. We see
the advertisement Of these rascals in
many of our exchanges. They ought
to know that they will never get their
pay.

Happy.

We feel perfectly happy over the
proceedings of the new Legislature of
Ohio, so far. The meritorious people,
for whose rights and interests we have
SO long labored, are beginning to be
recognized Our old friendl Miss Lii
lie Darst, has been elected one Of the
clerks in the Senate, and thus woman
has been recognized.
Walter Thomas, worthy and COM
petent colored man, who served as
clerk in the Ohio Senate when that
body was last Republican, is again
elected clerk in that body, while Mr..
Jackson, a colored man of Berlin, in
this county, has been elected one of
the clerks of the House.
Then the Welsh have been very
fully recognized. Mr.. Richards, a
Welshman, has been elected President
pro tenn. of the Senate, and Mr. Ed
wards, a Welshman. has beer. elected
clerk of the House, and Johnny Jones.
son of Eben Jones, Of Jackson, has
been elected one, Of the pages Of the
Senate.
Then, the nomination of Garfield
for Senator was just the thing that
ought to have been done.
There will be no John O'Connor
foolishness in this Legislature. You
Just remember that.
