Sense and Sentiment

Error tolerates, truth condemns.
Dare to be true; nothing can need
a lie.
Men should be tried before they
are trusted.
Beauty is Gods handwriting. u
a wayside sacrament.
Adversely borrows its sharpest
sting from impatience.
The society of women is the elc
ment of good manners.
Flowers that come from a loved
hand are more priced than dia-
monds.
Life is full of bitter lessons, the
simplest of which that one mans
fall makes forty men laugh.
Young, one is rich in all the future
that he dreams; old, one is poor in
all the past that he regrets.
The heart, though only a handful
of muscle, the whole world cannot
Hi, anu Wnen broken only lie who
made it can mend it.
Like a beautiful flower, full of col
or, but without scent, are the fine
but fruitless words of HIM who does
not act accordingly.
Gaiety is to good hnmor as per-
fumes to vegetable fragrance; the
one overpowers weak spirits, the
other recreates and revives them.
A swimmer becomes strong to
stem the tide only by frequently
breasting the, big waves. fyou
practice always in shallow water
your heart will assuredly fail in the
hour of high flood.
In peace patriotism really consists
in this-that everyone sweeps before
his own door, minds his own bust
ness; also learns his own lesson,
that it may be well with him in his
own house.

The American Eagle.

To America only is accorded the
privilege of emblazoning on its ban
ners that noble bird, the eagle. Aus
tria sports monstrosity having a
pair of craniums and a quartet of
legs, but it bears (no illusions to
Russia } no comparison to our bird
of freedom.
Recently-sav last Thursday-an
unusually large specimen OF the Ma
tional ornithological favorite made
its appearance over the farm OF
Peter Graves, a Clermont county
farmer. This event would have
passed by without record, but for
the presence, in an adjoining field
of two Of Mr.. Graves children, a
girl of four years and boy of twelve.
The feathercd floater, on sinister
design bent, made sortie toward
the little girl, but was driven off by
the brother, who bravcly welded a
stout stick. Taking advantage OF
the evenings fight, the lad went
into the house and returned with a
rifle, justin time to witness prepara-
tions for a second assault. A prompt
use of the rifle brought the aerial
tramp to the ground with a crippled
wing. The difference between the
eagle in the first instance and the
eagle as 1t fiuttered on the ground
was the difference of a pinlon.
1t is now prisoner on public
exhibition in Arbeiter Hall.

The King Of Ashantee is a very
good sort Of being. The State
buildings needed repairing, and he
desired to show how sacrificing a
parsonage he was, and SO he had
200 young girls. or maidens, killed
for the purpose Of using their blood
to mix the mortar. He neglected
to tap his own fiendish heart, how
ever.

The Wyoming Method.

They have learned how to live in
Hilliard, Wyoming territory, and
are pleased with their lesson. AS
often as they get out of meat they
replenish this way: A band of
wicked looking citizens 60 down to
the Union Pacific track q ways, to
where the trains run slowly and
await the passage of the through
express with its palace cars and
tender passengers. AS it is heard
in the distance they take their pla-
ces. A stuff man made of straw is
laid out beside two real coffins, bit
of baggage keeping his face from
being seen, while the gang gather
around a living victim, whom they
are about to hang to telegraph
pole. 1t is a slim chance for the
poor fellow, but the passengers run
wild at the sight. The train is
stopped. Volunteers run back to
the scene. Explanation: Two no,
ted horse-thieves are the scourge of
vhe district, survivor apenitctt now,
but the best time to hang him Is
when we have him. He's done
thousands of dollars damage. This
suggests ransom. The passen-
gers take up a contribution and buy
the poor devils life for him. Then
they carry him on to Hilliard and
leave him. Citizens in carriages
come riding home later with the
ransom, which they divide without
a quarrel, and there is peace and
pleasantly in Hilliard.

Not in the history Of the country has
there been such harvest of death from
sun.stroke as during the pnst week, extend
ing over all parts oi.the country. In.,h cities
there is complaint OF II great scarcity OF
hearses to carry to the cemeteries the dead.
In Dayton 100 cases of sunstroke were re-
ported on Tuesday, 80 OF which proved
fatal. In Cincinnati the mercury has
reached as high ms 1852 to 1852 in the shade
and the mortality is fearful. Toledo had
a large number of deaths on Sunday and
and Monday. There are also many cases
OF sun stroke and prostitution from the
heat reported from the harvest fields OF
the country. BY far the greatest number
of fatal cases reported come from the ranks
OF the drinking classes.

mark:
"Oaicially speaking" It is said Clark Wag-
goner, Collector far this district stands as high
at the department as any Collector in the

honesty or malfeasance has lodged against any
Of his subordinates, prominent among whom is
genial Vic Emich. Then why do they seek to
throw Waggoner overheard to make room for
Newton, Of Wood county? Does Wood county
run Northwestern Ohio? II SO, the future

miles farther up the lake.
No official position in Ohio has been
more faithfully, and honestly filed

other administration, than the Collector

and covetousness in a few disgruntled pol

The Cincinnati Gdzche pronounces that
pistols are wholly useless and vicious
nuisance, and thinks it would be good
thing il all were destroyed and law passed
making it penitentiary offense to ever
make another. The Toledo Democrat wants
the penalty increased for carrying con
eealed weapons, and those whose business
calls them out at night, or are put In
charge Of money, should be allowed to
take ont n permit, properly sworn to, and
NIL who are found in possession of pistol
or knife, other than pocket knife, without
permit, shonld he imprisoned from three
TO six months. Either OF these suggestions
are good.

Mr.. Evers assumes the greater part of the
pressure in regard to the one petitioner
ditch law. He says /" it originated with
Mr.. Escrs and Judge Phelps." He also
says the taxpayers have pronounced il the
best ditch law ever in force in Wood county.
II that be 80 why has it virtually been aban-
doned2 Why have not all the bitches been
established under its provisions Isit not
tbe desire OF the officials to give the tax
payers what they want in such matters? II
WAS n good law for Mr.. Evers and those
engaged in purchasing bonds. One man
a4,d four officials could force bitches Just
where they desired, and get all there was
to be made out OF the preliminary work,
such as engineering, publishing notices and
the issuing OF bonds, after which it mat
tered but little to them whether the ditch
was completed or not. 1t served to add a
good portion of the sum Of $4,000 to Mr..
Evers' pocket book alone, in one year. Be-
sides this it throwed n good many farms in.
bo tho hands of the money sharks, because
farmers could not meet the taxes imposed
upon them and their farms had to go. OF
course il is good law and Mr.. Eyers can
well afford TO defend it.
