Republican Endorsements.

John Wesley Bookwalter, Demo-
cratic nominee, has received such en-
dorsements from honest, reputable, in
fluential Republicans that his own par
ty has no need to sound his praise.

the Xenia, o., 4orchHght, we'll known
Republican organ, now publisher Of
the Yel7ow Springs Revte,v, aud Re.
publican high in the ranks of his party,
in a late article paid many handsome
compliments to Mr.. Bookwalter, the
most admirable being that all, Repub-
licans and Democrats alike, knew Mr..
Bookwalter to be man and gentle
man, one who would make an able and
honorable Governor.
VIM. R. Calhoun, editor of the Ol1ve
Branch, commercial paper in Spring
field, an ex chairman Of the Clark coun-
iy Republican Central Committee, one
of the most brilliant and successful or
ganizers in the party, recently said IN
his paper that Mr.. Bookwalter's honor
was as unassailable as Gibraltar, that
he was a man of Splendid intelligence
and ripe experience, and would finely
grace the Gubernatorial chair
Judge James Goode, of Springfield
O., and OF the Common Pleas Beuch
one of the purest and ablest men IN the
Republican party, of Ohio, said thai
from long and intimate business rela
tions with Mr.. Bookwalter he knew
him to be absolutely incorruptible anc
man of marked ability.

Fayette, Ind, editor of an independent
Republican paper, eloquently pro
nounced John Wesley Bookwolter ont
of the purest and best men in the Uni
ted States, and one who had few equals
as scholar and thinker.

The following rules to test good
-four are given by an old dealer: First
look at its color If it is white, with a
slightly yellow or straw-colored tint,
it is a good sign. If it is very white,
with blush cast or with snail black
specks in it, the -four is not good.
Second, examine it's adhesiveness.
Wet and knead little of it between
the fingers; if it works dry and elas-
tic it is good; if it works soft and
sticky it is poor. Flour made from
spring wheat is often sticky. Third,
throw little lump of dry -four against
dry, smooth, perpendicular surface;
if it adheres in lump, the -four has
life in it; If it falls like powder, it is
bad. Fourth, squeeze some of the
flour in your hand; if it retains the
shape gwen by the pressure, that, too
is a good sign. 1t is safe to buy -four
that will stand all these tests, and they
are simple.

Hebrew PRAYER.

The following prayer was offered at
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, by Rev. W. ]. Brill,
of the Hebrew Hungarian Benevolent
Society, for the recovery of President
Garfield:
We pray and entreat mercy from
the presence of the God of Heaven,
King Of mercy; in the spirit of the
law in which the thirteen attributes of
mercy are manifested, as recorded,
Exodus XXXIV., heal the President
of the United States Of America, James
A. Garfield, o Eternal, and be shall be
healed; save him, and he shall be
saved; for Thou art our praise.
OGod the King, Who sitteth on the
throne of mercy, Who created the
world with the attributes of mercy,
and who appertaineth benignity and
mercy. Who governeth His creatures
with the attributes of mercy; Who
redeemeth and delivereth; Whose
wonderful mercies are directed to ben
eft his creatures; Who is near to
those who fear Him; Who answereth
in times of distress those who call upon
Him; may Thee be filled with the ten.
der mercy towards US and all His peo-
pie; and among them may He in par,
ticular remember, visit, pity, compass
sionate, deliver, shield, save, protect,
favor, heal and relieve the President
of the United States of America,
James A. Garfield, who now langulshes
in trouble and affliction, lying on the
bed of sickness; and we entreat the
eternal, His God, to grant him charity,
grace, favor, mercy, health, cure,
peace and life. May the supreme
king of kings, through His infinite
mercy, compassionate him, distlll the
balms of Giiead in his wounds, ALE
viate his pains, and accomplish in him
the sentence which is written: "For the
Eternal thy God He is merciful God
He will not forsake thee nor destroy
thee; neither will He forget the conve
nant of our fathers which He swore un-
to them. Like as a father pitieth hi:
children, 50 the Eternal pitieth then
that fear Him. The Eternal is mercifu
and gracious, slow in anger, and abund
ant in mercy"
May the supreme King OF Kings
through his infinite mercy, answer hin
as it is written, Psalm Xxx. Amen.

The Council Of Ten.

The famous Council OF Ten has long
been the subject OF the grayest histori-
cal discussion. and, as some writers
suggest. its true history is probably un
written. The view generally adopted
is that here given. The Council Of
Ten was established about the middle
Of the fourteenth century, at a time
when Venice was greatly disturbed.
After while there were selected from
the Ten three lnquisitors, in whom all
the powers Of the State were vested,
and who formed a Court whose pro-
ceedings have been so often called in
question by historians. Their rigid
despotism, says one writer, had the ef
feet of giving a stern unity of purpose
to the proceedings of Government and
doubtless contributed in some degree
to consolidate the various accessions OF
territory which had been made into
one whole. The Council is said to
have been, at first, at least, more terri
BILE to the nobility than to the CON-
moners, doubtless from the fact that
the conspiracies which were then fre.
quent were creations of that class, and
the best authorities generally hold the
opinion that the Ten preserved the ex
ternal dignity and independence OF
the Republic better than their prede
cessors. A notable fact is that the
height of the prosperity of Venice was
reached about that time, and when
their despotism passed away, with it
departed the greatness of the city OF
the waters.

Drowning n Chinese Widow.

On the evening of the 3Oth Of June,
while the steamer of Peking was lying
alongside the hulk at Hankow, the
officers witnessed an attempt to drown
a woman from Sumpan, close to the
landing steps, on the part Of two men,
one of whom was seen to push her in
to the water. Mr. Morgan, of the
Custom Service, who saw the occur
ence from the shore, ran down the steps
and rescued the woman, the water
there being only about six feet deep.
When he pulled her out of the water
it was found that her hands were tied
behind her, and that a large stone was
fastened around her neck. She said to
her rescuer: "Maskee, more better |
dier' When she recovered from the
effects of her bath she went home. AT
4:3O a. m. the next day she was "suc-
cessfully drowned by her two brothers.
/, in-law, the men whose attempt had
been frustrated on the previous day
They took her out this time in the
middle of the river, and having at
tached line to her waist as we'll as
pinioned her arms and fixed stone
around her neck, they pushed her into
the water as before. After life was
extinct they pulled the body up by the
line around the waist, took it ashore
and buried it with the usual funera
rites. The crime Of the deceased was
stated to be that "she refused to mar
ry an old man; she, beinga fine bloom
ing widow, wanting something better.
The details of the actual murder were
given to Mr.. Morgan by some Chines'
who witnessed both events, and th'
murders themselves told him that i
would have been better if he had no
interfered with their first attempt

s'Jintlemanly Ladies'"

In railroad car the seats were all full
except one, which was occupied by a
pleasant looking Irishman, and at one of
the station couple of evidently we'll
bred and intelligent young ladies came in
to procure seats. Seeing no vacant,
they were about to go into the next car,
when Patrick arose hastily and offered
them his seat with evident pleasure.
"But you will have no seat for your
SELF" responded one of the young ladies,
with smile, hesitating with true polite
ness, to accept it. e.. Heat,e
"Niver mind that" said the gallant
Hibernian; "I'd ride upon cow-catcher
to New York any time for a. smile from
such jintlemanly ladies!".
And he retired hastily into the next
car amid the cheers of his fellow-passen-
gers.

When President Garfield was shot
down by Republican politician who
hunted Office at the mouth Of the re-
volver, every Democrat forgot his pol
itics in denouncing the causeless and
infamous crime. 1t remained for a
Republican committee in the city of
Columbus to concoct and publish q
circular charging this crime upon the
Democratic leaders and voters of the
country. The hour has come to put
down the gang of politicians who
would put such lie in circulation
when the President lies at deaths
door, while $4,000, 900 people, without
regard to politics, are in constant
state of apprehension as to his recov-
Columbus Times.

They Should Not Cheaper Wages.

The penitentiary convicts should be
put at such labor as would not cheaper
the wages of the workingmen of Ohio.
They should be put at such labor as
would not make the contractors mil
lionairse from competition with work
ingmen of the State, with convict labor
furnished by the State If competi-
ton with such labor is necessary. let
the State profit by it; but such compe.
tltion is wholly unnecessary, as pro-
ductive labor of kind which would
not compete with Ohio labor can be
furnished by the State to all convicts.

Ex Senator Dorsey is mentioned by
the NeaO Orleans Times as the owner OF
the best appointed cattle-ranch on the
continent. 1t occupies half mil
lion acres Of well.watered grazing
ground In New Mexico. A railroad
station near the ranch is named "Dor
sey.' He is supposed to have paid for
all this out of Star.route stealings, and
may yet have cause to ask himself,
what shall it profit man to own big
ranch if he goes to the penitentiary?

meant to draw revolver on him, and
shot him dead. Then he found that
the man was about to draw a flask to

last wishes ofthe deceased should be-
carried out, and took a drink from the
flask. Such a touching example of
