Oh! What A Man!

Two sprightly and beautiful young ladies
have been visiting q lady cousin living in
the country not far from Wooster These
three young misses are of that happy age
which turns every thing INTO fun and merri-
ment, and were constantly playing practical
up)n each other All three occupy a room
on the ground floor, that which in country
parlance is termed "the best ROOM" The
two visiting young ladies on particular
evening went to a party in the neighborhood.
About an hour after they left, the aforesaid
Young minister called and e-ayed nights
longing, which was, Oh course, granted, and
as ministers always have the best of every
thing, the reverend was assigned to the "best
room" The young lady who had not gone
to the party was entrusted with the duty OF
sitting up for the absent ones and informing
them of the change of looms. She took up
her post i'm the parlor, and, as the night was
sultry, sleep overlook her and she departed
on an excursion to the land of dreams. About
half-past eleven o'clock the sprightly cousins
returned, and as it was late they concluded
not to disturb the household, SO they quietly

Young ladies were enabled to descry the out

minds their cousin had set the boots in their
room to give them good scare. They put
their heads together and decided to turn the
tables on her. Silently they disrobed, and
stealthily as cats took up their positions on
on each side of the bed. At given signal
they both jumped into bed, one on each side

screaming, "Oh, whata mani" giving the

From the HOOsier to the National

The Intervening Country asS Seen by
Terre-Hautentot.
Rough and Astounding With Romantic and
Picturesque scenery.

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. = Leaving
indianapolis ON the evening of the 10Th
inst, my trip was quite mOnOtonOus un-
til the break of day, as all trips general
ly are in sleeping car berth unless the
car goes down an embankment or col
lision is arranged for by the courtesy of
the thoughtful train dispatchers, care
full conductors and sober engineers.
We were rolling around, over, under
and through the hills of eastern Ohio
when day dawned the next morning.
And there is much picturesque mount
ain scenery in this part of the Buckeye
State. We passed by many little ham,
let's, villages and farm houses nestled
snugly down at the base or along the
side of rugged hill which in the light
of early dawn, presented admirable see
merry for an artists brush. This part
of Ohio is closely allied in natural see
merry, hills, mountains, etc. to
Virginia and Pennsylvania.
At Steubenville we crossed the Ohio
River, and passing over the 60 Pan Han
die" portion of West Virginia, were soon
in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, the great
iron metropolis of Pennsylvania and the
Nati)n. Although it was Sunday NOR
ing, there were ample evidences of tn,
gigantic enterprises which have earned
for this city the name of "the Birming
ham of America" On all sides and il
every conceivable direction great tower
ing black smoke stacks arise like monu

They are in fact monuments to the indus

Here we breakfasted in the depot res

An Important Opinion.

What seems to have been bad blunder
in the general appropriation act Of 1879 has
called forth the following opinion from the
Attorney General: IS
section of the general appropriation bill of
1879 reads: "All unexpended balances OF appr0-
priations for the fiscal year ending October 30,
issO shall be carried forward by the Treasurer and
Auditor of State to the credit OF the accounts Tor
which said appropriations were made, provided
that the Auditor and Treasurer OF State shall on
the Slst day of October 1880; close all open &C
counts against said appropriations, and the unex
pended balance shall remain In the Treasury TO
the credit of the general fund"
We must assume that the Legislature means
something by statute. If the words ,Slst OF Oc-
tober, $780, in the provis0 is not o mhprint, this
proviso nullifes the first part OF the section
have caused the enrolled bill to be examined,
but the 1850 Of the proviso is nota misprint; !
can come to no other conclusion than that II Is 9
mistake of the craftsman, and should be read
"1SS1."
Believing that 1t was the intent Of the Legisla'
ture to inaugurate change, should advise y0C
to act accordingly, and pay out and close up al
open accounts against the appropriations namet
in this act and at the close OF the business day

WASHINGTON, october 15.-The
Critic, this afternoon, has an able inter-
view with Colonel Harlan. Bob, as he
is familliarly called by his friends, is
one of the most noted turfmen of the
West, and indeed of the country.
He is tall, athletic specimen of hui
manity, very intelligent, and his friends
believe he would make pretty fair
statesman. Robert is light in complex
ion. and but few would ever believe
he had African blood in his veins. like
the late lamented Cease, he was am
bilious, and knowing his powers as an
orator, longed for an election to the
Legislature, that he might make the
welkin ring with his eloquence,
He was duly nominated. and made
a brilliant canvass, but to no avail. as
his white Republican brethren scratched
him, and he was defeated. A reporter
this morning met Bob, and asked:
Colonel, what is your mission in

NEW YORK. Oct 27.-The alarm caused by
the scarcity of water increases. Commits
sioner Thompson, of the Public Works, says
the supply in the reservoirs will not hold
out longer than seventeen days unless re-
plenished by rain. The main pipes are kept
filled to insure ample supply for fire pur-
poses. To maintain this supply ard at the
same time furnish manufactures with the
water needed to continue work, the people
are compelled to abandon baths. Wells,
forgotten since the introduction of Croton
water, are being cleaned out for use. The
present drouth is unprecedented.

possesses an annual income of 50, 250. 900.
Before her birth her parents were so poor
that they had to borrow the money to pay

Princess might be born on British soil, and
she remained in comparative poverty until
she assembled the throne.
