GOVERNOR FOsTER's denomination by
the Ohio Republicans is we'll assured. A
contest has arisen for lieutenant governor
in anticipation that Gov. Foster will resign
before his second term has advanced far,
to accept a place in President Garfield S
cabinet or the presidency of railroad
company.

THEY seem to manage these thinge
better over in tho Democratic county of
berks, where tho Jail is nearly self sup
porting. In our prison tho so-called labor
system costs about as much as it comes to.
The system Of concentrating the labor into
ono branch of industry seems to bc better
than the diffusion of it among a number
of trades.
For the first time the Union society of
the Army of the Cumberland will meet
South this year, at Chattanooga. If Blaine,
Conkling and other radical orators told the
truth, the people down that way would be
storing the Chattanooga cellars with dyn-
amite. On the other hand all the cx-Con-
federates for miles around, thousands in
number, are preparing to givo their foes
the most cordial welcome, and to show
them the best attention.

gia, as a dinner pill, and purifying the blood,
are the most congenal purgative yet perfected.
Their effects abundantly show how much they
excel all other Pills They are safe and pleas
ant to take but powerful to cure They purge
out the foul humors OF the blood; they stimu-
late the sluggish or dsordered organs into ac-
tion; and they impart health and toae to the
whole being. They cure not only the every
day complaints OF everybody, but formidable
and dangerous diseases. Most skilful physl-
clans, most eminent clergymen, and our best
citizens, send certificates OF cures performed,
and of great benefits derived from those Pils:
1hey are the safest and best physic for chill
dren, because mild as well as effectual. Being
sugar coated, they are easy to take; and being
purely vegetable, they are entirely harmless.

Punctuation.

Punctuation is an art, and one that
has been learned in comparatively
modern times. The Greeks did not
know the meaning of it, and left no
space between the words. The Romans
put up kind of division without any
apparent method. Up to the end of the
fifteenth centurysonly the colon and
the comma were introduced, and the
latter at that time only as a perpen-
dicular figure. We are indebted to
Aldus Minutius, an eminent prin ter,
for the comma as we have it now, and
in 1890 he introduced the semicolon
into printing, and published a set of
rules for the guidance of writer's. 1t is
not known by whom they were first
used, but inverted commas ca were
brought into common use by French
printer to supersede the use of italics,
but the English adopted them to
specify quotations.

Men Who Brag.

It is natural for man to brag. And
frequently the less he has to brag over
the more Dragging he will do. The
most trifing incidents are sufficient to
keep some men Dragging all their lives.
We once knew man whom Henry Clay
kicked out of his way, and the fellow
Dragged of it all the rest Of his days,
and was proud to be known as the man
Harry of the West had booted. Men
brag over things that never happened,
though they repeat it so often that they
come to believe it themselves. 1t has
been estimated that it would require a
vessel like the Great Eastern to carry
all the people claiming to have been
on Fulton's first steamboat when it
made its trial trip. We have ourselves
shaken hands with twenty-eight men,
each one of whom boosted that he was
the first man to walk across the Mag
ara suspension bridge. The woods are
full of men who are ready to swear they
we're standing alongside of Grant when
he said he would fight it out on that
line if it took all summer.

Crude Petroleum.

There is at present, in round num-
beers, 25,OGO,OO0 barrels of crude petro-
leum stored in iron tanks in the oil re-
gioes of Pennsylvania. 1t is an inland
lake of oil that may be described as
having reached its highest ebb, mas
much as indications now point unmis-
takably to a falling off in the daily pro-
duction of the wells and consequent
decline in the amount tanked. Not the
least striking feature of the oil regions
are the clusters of these enormous iron
reservoirs, located on hill and valley,
and whose construction keeps actively
employed great workshops and an army
of men in Pittsburg, Titusville, Pa,
and Oil City, Pa, and elsewhere The
oil held by the 1 500 tanks dOtting the
oil regions would fill to q depth of ten
feet a squsre..rsservOir or lake nsasur-
ing 3,747 feet each way.

A Yossg Lady with Two Hundred Shot s"s r"''
Of Corset In Her BODY stu Aii's'
from the New York Herald.l
There is at present every prospect OF
the recovery OF Miss Media I. Jacobus
who was shot by her Lover ut Peru N,
J.. on the 25th OF October last. 1t will
be remembered that John Fl. Wolfe, a
young man of Jersey City, who had Tor
some time been paying attentions 10
Miss Jacobus, called on her on that
day and playfully pointed gun at her.
She told him it was loaded, but ne did
not heed the warning, and the gun
went of, lodging large charge OF shot
in the right side of Miss Jacobus.
The physicians who were sommoned
pronounced the case necessarily fatal,
and did not even think that Miss Jaco'
bus would linger more than an hour or
two. Instead of that she is alive, and
the case is attracting considerable at
tention among the medical fraternity OF
New Jersey. The wound was about
nine inches in diameter, but the great
err portion of this was made by the pow
der and stray shot. The orlfice was
two and a half inches long and two
inches wide. The tenth and eleventh
ribs were fractured, and portions OF the
bone carried into the body. The lung
was perforated, the full charge striking
the lower portion Of it and decorating 1t
terribly. Besides the bones of the ribs
portions of clothing and corset-a part
of whalebone of the latter-were shot
into the body, and, it is the opinion OF
the physicians, clear through the lung.
The gun was loaded with, a charge OF
23O duck shot. There have been taken
out of the wound twenty-six shot, SO
that still above two hundred remain.
None of the pieces of dress or whale
bone have yet protruded. For few
days after the shooting the wound dis
charged air from the lungs, which issued
with gurgling noise, but this has ceas'
ed and the young lady is apparently do
ing well. No signs of pyenia have set
in and the wound is gradually closing
up. The dead flesh is sloughing OFT
and the young lady's strength is aiding
the healing considerably. At first
Wolfe visited Miss Jacobus and insisted
on her promising to marry him, but she
became so excited that the physician
prohibited her seeing him again.

The Laugh Of a Child.

The laugh of child will make the
h Hest day more sacred. Strike with
hand of fire, oh, wierd magician, thy
harp strung with Apollo's golden hair
fill the vast cathedral aisles with sym
phonies sweet and dim. deft TOUGHER of
the organ keys; blow, bugler, until thy
silvery notes do touch and kiss the
moonlit waves, and charm the lovers
wandering mid vineclad hills. But
you know your sweetest strains are dis
cords all, compared with childhood's
happy laugh-the laugh that fills his
eyes with light and every heart with
Joy. Oh, ripping river of laughter
thou art the blessed boundary line be-
tween beast and men. and every way
ward wave of thine doth drown some
fretful fend of care. Oh, Laughter,
rose-lipped daughter of JOY, there are
dimples enough in thy cheeks to catch
and hold and glorify all the tears OF
Grief.-Robert Ingersoll.

Mandy's cattle, and during my absence,
as he lived with the Campbells, he
made himself particularly agreeable.
But to cut long story short, as / see
you are tired, invited Mandy one day
to go out riding, and on our return,
when We were ut the back Of the field
at the furthest extremity from the
house, what should come charging up
but one of those accursed camels. He
was apparently on the war path, too,
inst as You see him in the tree, mouth
wide open, and was about as ugly a
customer as l ever looked at. Mandy,
knowing that her horse would become
manageable, shrieked and jumped
off; followed suit and rushed to assist
her over the fence; we had nearly sue
ceeded in the climb when Mandy's foot
slipped and she and both tumbled to-
gether; not exactly together, either, for
she fell on the side tenanted by camels,
and 1, although. my head reached the
ground first with a solid thump some
what disorganizing, had dropped safely
beneath the rustling corn. Recovering
in q few moments from the shock, l
heard rush through the corn leaves,
saw form spring to the fence, heard a
crash of a section of fence rail as it
came in contact with the camel, and
rising found Crawford pulling Mandy
over the fence, in which charitable act l
assisted. 1t happened that the first
thing the camel had grabbed was Man
dy's hoop skirt, which she fortunately
wore in defiance of fashion, and getting
it tangled in his teeth was the cause of
the delay which allowed of Crawford
reaching the spot in time to save her.
A GOODNESS sprang up between Mandy
and me about this time. L remarked
to strictly confidential friend of mine
that I believed her COMPOUNDED red
head had attracted the camel-but I
know, of course, that he couldn't have
repeated it rather think that Craw-
ford's saving her life saved me, and
leaves me now with one of the sweetest,
dearest little wives in tho world, and as
Will Garven put it, with no red-heada-
tiveness, red-heditary in the family" I
look around for smile of appreciation,
but "Milespotsita" was sound asleep.
"You see," said I, continuing what
had proved to be not a narrative, but a
soliloquy; call of the camels were at
terward caught by owners of travelling
menageries, and to this day figure, no
doubt, in many of the circus process
sions. At Forepaugh's great show, not
month since, as walked through the
menagerie with you and the children, 1
wat attracted by peculiarly sly twin
kle in the eye of one of the camels 1t
may have been imagination, but from
the way he winked and the manner in
which he took up mouthful of hay
and then spat it out again as if it tan
gled in his teeth, convinced me entirely
that he recollected distinctly the way
in which he caused the Mandy mnss to
issue"

viding some silken tie sufficiently
loose and elastic to allow the utmost
freedom to individual development,
but strong enough to convey a sense
of unity, and to provide against the
contingency of internecine war. All
that we suggest is that England and
America should now attempt to ar
range some such informal union as
England and Australia will have to
discuss, say, in the lifetime of the next
generation. Even in Europe, where
alien nations, with rival religions and
civilizations, and full of the savage
memories of forgotten wars, regard
with undisguised hostility the status
quo, the necessity Of providing some
such mobtLs Cicendi and mutual CO
operation, is recognized by the exist
eRce of the European concert, in the
strengthening and development of
which lies the most promising hope of
peace in the old world. If a European
concert, in spite of all but insurmount-
able difficulties, is recognized as a po-
htical necessity for Europe, why should
there not be an Anglo-American con-
cert wide enough to include in one
common fatherland all English-speak-
ing men? That concert exists to-day,
morally. Why should it not be per-
petuated and preserved by the creation
of a political arrangement conceived in
the spirit of this hour of international
sympathy and communion? Concern
ing the methods by which this may
best be realized. it is not necessary to
speak to-day. Sufficient for the pres
ent is it to express the ideal toward
which the eyes of the English-speaking
races here and beyond the sea should
steadfastly be turned.

INDIAN SUMMER

The dry leaves lie in drifts Of brown and
yellow,
within the forest nooks and on the hill
sides bare;
Aud, falling over all. the sunshine mellow
Drifts warmly downward through the
hazy air.
In sombre beauty lie the level meadows
brneath the soft glow OF the Autumn
Flccked, ever and anon, with quiet shad-
That at the coming Of the sunshine die.
The forest rises in ~ solemn splendor.
ohorn OF the garments it was wont 10
wear.
Wrapped In a mist Of purple, soft and
Like dim vap1r, filling all the air.
Tho tar-od mountains rise in stately
grandeur,
Until their lofty SUBMITS pierce the mist
that hangs Us lazy wreathes Of pearl and
amber
About the great brows, which the sun
has kissed.
The breeze Is full of arft and balmy odors,
A quiet, slumbrous stiffness ILLS the air
All these are but the sad yet sweet fore
huders
That come time when gloom is every
where.
The Winter comes, and ar the Falls rare
sweetness
Must fade and pal. before his white
robes form;
And In her beauty and her fair complete
ness.
The Autumn Queen will perish in the
Storm.
