Ohio is great State, and has fur.
nished large share of the ofice-holders
of the country for number of years.
She presents a fine array of Presidential
candidates fbr the, coming contest. 10
the Republicans she presents Sherman,
Hayes; Garfield and Foster; to the Dem
ocrats, Thurman, Pendleton, Payne,
Groesbeck, Bishop, Jewett and Ranney,
Lightning struck her four years ago,

Origin Of the PloW,

III a paper Oh the origin Of the pillow,
DR.. Taylor states that the first agrlcul-
tural implement seems 10 have been q
pointed stick four or five feet long, such
"s many savages still carry for the pur-
pose OF digging roots, knocking down
fruit and unearthing animals. AT a
later day the stick was bent and used as
q hoe. the point being hardened by fire.
In the Southern part of Sweden large
tracts of land give evidence Of early cul-
tivation, which is attributed to a pre-
historic people, called By the natives
.tthe hackers" who are always associa-
ted with the giants of mythology, and
whose rude hoe, fir pole with short
projecting branch. There came into
use afterwards a larger instrument OF
the same kind, which was not used like
the hoe, but dragged by men or oxen.
Instances of this are to be found in Old
Egyptian pictures and bas-reliets, and il
was probably in the primitive idea Of
the pillow, which is of prehistoric origin,
evidences being found of its early USE
among the Greeks, Egyptians and Chi
nese. 1t had from the earliest times q
religious sanction. The next improve
nienJ was wooden hook shod will
iron; and in the time of Virgil wheel
ed pillow was in use which differed but
little from the best in Europe cen
tury ago.

A Valuble Corset Story,

A man always gets into scrape when
he pokes around among his wife's things
without permission. Mr.. Durrie, OF
Jersey City, had been annoyed by hav-
ing his wife sell his clothes to peddlers,
called in her absence, that he would
reciprocate; so he traded lot OF her
old garments off for tinware and plaster
images, and among other things o pair
of half-wom eorsets. He rubbed his
hands in silent enjoyment over the joke.
But when his wife returned and was
informed of the transaction she rushed
upstairs to see what was gone, and, not
finding the corsets, exclaimed;
"John Henry, you didn't sell them
cOrsets ~
ooh, yes" he replied. II found a
disreputable old pair and let them go"
The wife burst into tears, and, between
sobs, explained that, in order to hide
from burglars the Sl1O0 hehad entrusted
to her for safe keeping, she had sewed
the money up in those colsets. John
Henry is an humber man than he was,
and can't find the rag peddler.
