the cry OF whisky ticket" against the

At the same time the church. whisky
shop of Wort',ington was dishing out
liquor to make votes, and candidates OF,
the "straight" ticket were circulating
jugs over tho county containing

Last Spring at the village selection.
the same cry Of "whisky ticket" was
raised by the church politicians to dc.
feat the opposing candidates.
Last fall during tire Congressional
campaign, the same, men came to the
front again with the cry off whisky
candidate,' while at the same time the
church whisky shop in Worthineton
was buying votes in the usualtemper.
ance way, and a prominent Dunnell
man i'll the west end is said to have
paid out $50 Tor whisky with which to
beat the so-called ''whisky candidate. u
This Spring again At our village cleo

Pin-draWings.

G. 3. Bartlett, who is the Edward
Lear of this country, and as welcome
an entertainer to the churches Of many
cities as the author Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Discobolus is to English castles,
sends us new game which will pro-
duce as grotesque pictures as can be
found in Lear's Nonsense Books"
This new and amusing game will be
found attractive by children of all ages.
1t will cultivate taste for drawing in
the young and prove interesting to the
more skillful, for:very good artists in
Germany have found pleasant en-
ployment for their leisure hours in
tracing its ever varying changes.
Any number of persons can play, the
only materials needed being one pencil
and sheet of paper for each, and six
common pins. Sheets of paper are
laid evenly, one above the other, and
five of the pins are held three feet
above them in the right hand OF the
leader between his thumb and forefin-
ger. The pins are dropped at once,
and lie in an irregular manner on the
paper, some close together and some
far apart. A hole is then made with
the other pin at the exact spot where
each of the five pin-heads lie, and this
pin is stuck through all the sheets Of
paper at once so that they are all pin.
ned in exactly the same places.
Each person than takes sheet and
all draw the picture of man, woman,
or child, in such a way that one pin
hole only must come in the outline of
the head and also in that of each hand
and foot.
The effect to do this, OF course, pro-
duces many curious shapes in odd and
grotesque positions.
The game can be changed by draw.
ing quadrupeds, allowing one pin-hole
for the head and one for each foot; or
birds, by using only three pins. Much
fun can be added by humorous &C.
counts in prose or rhyme, written un
der the nondescript animals thus
drawn.
When finished the pictures are pas
sed around for citicism, and each adds
the name suggested to his mind by it,
and also guesses the name of the artist,
who, if he finds that his work has been
discovered, is obliged to acknowledge
L ~ also to confess the name of the
animal he attempted to delineate,
which usually creates good laugh, if
not otherwise valuable as work of art.

Celery for rheumatism.

In celery there must be some special
virtue, if we only knew what it is.
Nothing is made in vain, and the pow.
errul smell and extraordinary taste of
celery are intimations from nature that
it has some special mission. MIR. Ward.
of Perriston Towers, Ross, writes that
rheun a:isn becomes impossible if cell
cry is freely used as an article of diet
Unfortunately, he says cooked celery;
for it is the article in its raw state to
which we are all accustomed. "Cut
the celery" he says, into inch dice.
Boil in water until soft. No water must
be poured away unless drunk by the in.
valid Then take new milk, slightly
thicken with -four, and flavor with nut
meg; warm with the celery in the
saucepan; serve with diamonds Of
toasted bread round the dish, and eat
with potatoes" Permit me to say"
he adds, "that cold or damp never pro-
duces rheumatism, but simply develops
it. The acid blood is the primary cause
and the sustaining power of evil.
While the blood is alkaline there can
be no rheumstism and equally no CONT"
Ard Mr.. Ward proceeds to say: Let
me fearlessly say that rheumatism is

Quite, daily, keeping up a steady con-
yersation on literary and other subjects
that might be expected to interest such
men, enlivening it with stories or illus
trations. At Mentor I found an ar.
rangement for croquet, but the General
was almost too busy this season to devote
much time to it. l don't think he
would take so readily to base ball be-
cause it would interrupt conversation.
As q lookeron he could talk and dis.
cuss the game, as he doubtless would
do with zest, and 1 dare say he would
be interested in seeing AL occasional
game; but don't look for buse ball as
standard amusement at the White
House the next four years. But what.
ever interest General Garfield may rake
in this game, he will never enter into
it as his predecessor, Mr.. Giddings,
did. With him it was the game par
excellence, and nothing but physical in
ability deferred him from an active
part in it. The summer adjournment
m Congress was always the signal at
Jefferson for the opening of the base ball
season, and the ground was generally
ready by the time Mr.. Giddings got
home; and the first fine afternoon was
cure to open the season. The game
vas then played with soft ball, which
was thrown at the player while on the
run. Giddings, being left handed,
usually took the boys ut disadvantage.
rs they could not calculate upon his
motions, and the ball often came where
it was not looked for. Mr.. Giddings
used TO play with perfect abandon, and
at the game 1t Was hard to tell which
was the most boyish--he or those he
played with, who generally ranged
from fifteen to twenty-five, " without
distinction as to color or previous con-
dltion of servitude.' The game over,
he WAS the representative of the nikc-
tenth district till the next afternoon,
when the congressman again gave way
to one of the nine. The habit, OF NJ
Giddings wore almost Arcat!iGn IN this
relation. He WAS glso great SHOT,
and when there was game in the country
he was no ordinary hunter. | do not
know that he WAS addicted to fishing;
but there was no place to tish at Jeller
son and it was rather slow sport for him.
Without sinister purpose, it might DO
remarked that General Garfield Is also
left handed; but it is pas, the time to
get up a delegation Of left banded
citizens to wait on him. Dah,io Ex-
