A Humorous Lunatic.

Isaac Sinsabaugh is fifty-seven years
old, and was veteran in the late war.
Until last week Isaac resided in Lick
ing County, Ohio. Now Isaac resides
in an Asylum at Columbus, Ohio.
Isaac possesses a fair education, and
has read largely Shakespeare, Milton,
and the Bible, and can, it is said preach
like an Apostle. Recently he has been
talking and acting like lunatic with
regard to the subject of religion. He
would go around entering houses, and
compelling the inhabitants to listen
to his long-winded sermons. He
finally made the astounding announce
ment that the Lord had especially
commissioned him to convert the
whole world-Democratic party and
ALL" Thereupon-but of course this
announcement was not the cause-his
son made application to have an
inquest of lunacy held upon him.
He raved at the witnesses who
appeared against him, warning them
that they would bring down upon
their heads the vengeance of the High
Court of Heaven; that God was in
him, and when they testified against
him-Sinsabaugh-they perjured
themselves against God. He invited
the Judge to state candidly whether
he "believed in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Judge responded in the affirma-
tive, and he and Isaac had quite E
religious discussion, which was inter.
rupted by Hon. Gibson Atherton, who
asked Isaac's definition of Democrat
Sinsabaugh replied that he got his
definition Of Democrat from the
French Dictionary-"Demo," meaning
devil" and "crat," meaning "crazy.'
In short, Democrat" meant ''crazy
devil" The Hon. Gibson was entirely
satisfied with the definition.

last year. While the buildings all new they

The first mine above jackson is Price Brothers.
They have about forty five men working for them.
The next mine is the known as the Newport

who will employ twenty-five or thirty men.
The next mine is operated by L. D. Lively. He en-
ploys about twenty men at this time.
Next we come to the mines of the Ada Iron & Coal

Then the Eagle Coal Co.'S Mines operated by Judge

THE only temperance legislation
that will ever benefit the people of
Ohio or any other State, will be to
send men to the Legislature who will
vote for constitutional amendment
to be placed before the people, pro-
hibiting the manufacture and sale Of
intoxicating liquors That such an
amendment would be sustained by the
people Of Ohio, there is hardly shad-
ow of doubt. Reform must come in
this way. The ak must be laid at the
root Of the tree, and when it comes to
this, all well disposed people must
move i'll the same solid phalanx-a
phalanx of opposition to what may be
considered the great curse of the
world-the devil of sin and crime

POLITICAL NOTES.

THE friends of Judge Harper, of Portsmouth. will
urge his nomination for the Supreme Bench.
THE Democrats are endeavoring to get up quite
boom for Wash. Mclean for Governor.
IT is said that Gov. Fremont is tired of Arizona,
and will seek some other appointment under the
Government.
IT is reported that Hon. George H. Williams, (col-
ored,) ex-Representative from Hamilton county, has
fallen heir to $4,000.
GEN. HIcKENLooPER has written letter in which
he says that he will under circumstances be
dldate for reelection as acknowledgements.

General, is politically miserable humbug, who
ought never to have been appointed.
DAN. VOORHEES, made ian elegant address, at the
unveilng of the Farragut statue, paying high trib-
ute to the brave old Admiral. Dan never thought
much of the Admiral until he dead.
STILL comes from Washington the news that 1.-THE
friends of Stanley Matthews Indignant" No
wonder, the Judges appointment still rests in the
pockets of the Senate judiciary Committee.
THE Commercial seems to fear that Mayor Means
will make himself unpopular With the Democrats.
Such unpopularity would be blessing the city,
for the public good and Democratic popularity are
diametrically opposite.

laid troche the desk of Senator Hale of Maine,
while the latter was Speaking the other day. How
the Democrats did wish had been made of strych-

1T is reported that Gen. Geo. A. Sheridan Recorder
of Deeds for the District of Columbia has asked
to retire. Fred Douglass will take his place. Sheri-
dan is accused of being mixed up in the Star Route
swindle.
THE Cincinnati Commercial is mistaken in laying
Tom Brady at the door of the Stalwarts. 1t was
under the pure and high-toned administration OF
Hayes Schurz 6 Co., that the Star Route swindles
attained their gigantic proportions.

THE Cincinnati Commercial is not
quite sure but it would be a good idea
for President Garfield to re-organize
his Cabinet, and re-organize Wayne
McVeagh out Of it. Wayne should
never have been put into it. His ap-
pointment only served to freshen some
of the most unpleasant memories of
the preceding Administration, and
Brady is about as much of that
Administration as the country will at
present care about stirring up.
