Stories of ye Olden Time.

To the Editor of the ENTERPRISE.
In these times of political calamity, it
may have the effect to mitigate our grief,
cas- cheerfulness does good like a medi-
cine" to turn our thoughts to more
pleasing subjects. Every town in the
country has q peculiar genius noted for
story telling, song singing, profanity, or
other eccentric trait of character. John
Hough; who lived in Danesburgh, N.
Y, some sixty years ago, was tie hero of
eccentricitY of that town, born cripple,
(clump footed besides an unmitigated
stammerer. As compensation for these
evils, he was uncommonly handsome, all
but his feet, remarkably shrewd and
witty, and curious as i. may seem, fine
dancer. He was u great favorite among
the young ladies, who We'd with each
other in the practice of fascinating arts
to win him as husband. Miss Mercy
Ham, an accomplished and beautiful
young lady won the prize. The Sunday
after their marriage John escorted his
bride to church. Elder Gage took his
text from the Prophet Hosea: IDEAL
justly, love mercy, and walk humbly
with thy God" Hough appeared to be
uader deep conviction, listening with
t,ars in Lis eyes, to the fine practicsl
discourse, when at the close of the reg
ular exercises he arose, addressing a
prominent citizen near him in his usual
animated and stammering manner: "Es-
Esquire R-R. Riggs, IL think can fi-f-fi-
fill Gs-Gs-Gages sermon pretty we'll. l.
IL mean to deal on fa-fa-fair scale
with everybody" looking at the Bride,
"I do love Mercy and Go-Go-God knows
1 walk humbly enough" Preacher and
people enjoyed a good hearty laugh,
while John went trundling his clump
feet out of church followed by his blush
ing bride. F.

AT the meeting of the American Mis-
sionary Association in Cleveland last
week, ex-Pres. Hayes in the course Of
his address said: 'The iiliterate voters
in each one of the eight Southern States
having the largest proportion Of emanci-
pa.ed slaves exceed in number the ma
jority Of votes ever cast even at the
most important elections. In one of
these States the ignorant voters cousti-
tute an absolute majority ofthe total vo-
ting population of the State. In more
than one-third the Union the ignorant
voters are almost one-thIrd Of the total
number of voters. Most seriously i'm
portant of all, these figures show that
the illiterate voters of the South have
increased in the last ten years, from 1870
to 1880, almost two hundred thousand.
This increase of ignorant voters in the
last decade exceeds the number of votes
cast in any one of more than twenty
States of the Union at the last Presiden.
tial election. Ignorance at the ballot-box
has increased, is increasing. and ought
to be diminished.

Mrs. LANGTRY does not seem to be very
much to blame for her fame as a beauty.
An artist who saw her in the audience at a
London theater admired and afterward
painted her as a study. Queen Victoria's
son, Leopold, saw the picture and pur-
chased 1t; the press announced it and the
lady was sought in society. The Prince of
Wales admired the woman as well as the
picture, and, willing or unwilling, she be-
came the fashion. And now that money is
necessary to adorn and sustain a dis
tinguished person, she has come over to let
the Americans contribute, as they will very
willingly do, to increase the family fortune
by seeing her upon the stage.

Among the transparencies paraded at
the Democratic jollifcation in Columbus
last Friday evening were these: Temper

ency of all was the one representing Cover
nor Foster, Townsend and Nash in Salt
River packet among the icebergs, steaming
toward the North Pole, though headed for
the rock Iowa, (meaning prohibition
Foster was at the oars, Townsend was
pushing the icebergs aside and frightening
some long-legged geese away, while Nash
was preparing to swim ashore. On the

Governor Foster was kneeling, while she

of boldness and defiance that has taken
possession of the Democracy since the elec-

The Death Of the Flowers.

The sharp frost and the chill of the
wind are the signals Of winter, and it is
no foolish sentiment that deplores the
early destruction of what is left out of
doors, OF flower ard leaf and vine. How
much of natures grace and comeliness
and brilliancy depends on them. Not
one of these hardy, lste-blooming garden
flowers is teo old-fashioned to be cher
ished while here, or too commonplace
to be missed when gone. Seeing them
bloom and fade many times only increa-
ses cur love for them. They get al
mixed up and intimately associated with
the years, and people, and places. so that
1t is like separating vines that have in
termingled, to try to think of them as
insensate things, and as having no part
in that which is lasting and eternal.

JUDGE BURKE in conversation with one
of our townsmen said that no one was
known in the purchase of the Nickel Plate
railway but himself, he acting for a syndi-
cate of gentlemen whose names will not
yet be given 10 the public. The manage
ment for the road has not yet been consid-
cred, and reports that Mr.. Deveraux is to
be President are unfounded. Enough is
known to warrant US in saying that it will
be run in harmony with the Vanderbilt
system extending from Chicago to New
York, and having now, with the Nickel
Plate, two tracks from Chicago to Buffalo
and four from there to New York.

Sons idea of what is becoming of the
forests may be had from consideration
of the amount of wood that is being used
by railroads. A recently pub ished re-
port shows that in the maintenance and
repair of French railways since 1877,
more than seven hundred fine trees must
have been used daily for sleepers alone;
and some 100000 cubic feet of time
have been required yearly for rolling
stock. And yet the mileage of the rail
ways of France is less than one-sixth as
great as that of the United States.-Sci-

Ar the ohio Raptist Association y

AT the Ohio Baptist Association lately
held in Wooster, the Committee on reso-
lutions reported the following:
RESOLVED, That we pledge ourselves anew
to devote our energies TO secure the over
throw of that gigantic iniquity-the liquor
traffic-that is now rejoicing in the shame IL
has brought upon our commonwealth; that
we especially approve of the efforts of chris
tian women in behalf of temperance, and
pledge to them our hearty support
A resolution heartily endorsing the
proper observance of the Sabbath was
also adopted, with others pertaining to
the interests of the denomination.

Washington and not whiskey the Cause,

The whiskey wave which swept Cincin-
to cause the loss of Ohio. But not all.
The whiskey force was not potent in the
rural counties. Garfield's old district is a
fair type ofthe strong Republican country
sections of the State. II does not contain
any considerable town. Yet the Republic
an loss is over 5000, as compared with two
years ago, and nearly 5000 from last year.
1t was not whiskey but Washington that
did this business.

New Profession for Women.

The November Century contains finely
illustrated paper describing the Bellevue
Training School for Nurses, established in
1878. To show how few are willing to give
to it the devotion necessary to such a pro-
fession, we quote from the article as fol-
lows:
"To find person capable of taking
charge of such an institution proved diff
ficult task Equal difficulty was experienced
in procuring assistants for her. Advertise
ments were inserted in the journals, and
physicians were applied to; but such was
the scarcity of educated nurses in this
country at that time, that, after a search of
many months, and after the most liberal
| offers, only four were found who were in
any wise capable, one of whom proved in
| efficient. AT first but six pupils
were obtained. The scheme adopted-that
developed by Miss htingale-demand-
ed in the applicant a combination of re-
! quisites the mere enumeration of which
appalled, many who had been encouraged
into seeking admission to the school.
| These are: Good education, strong consti-
tuition, freedom from physical defects, in
Guiding those of sight and hearing, and
uneXceptionable references. The course
of training consists in dressing wounds,
applying lamentations, bathing and care
of patients, making beds, and managing
positions. Then follow the preparation
and application of bandages, making roll
lers and Innings of splints. The nurse
must also. learn how to prepare, cook, and
serve delicaces for the invalid. Instruction
| is given in the best practical methods of
supplying fresh air, and of warming and
ventilating the sick-room. In order to re-
main through the two years course and
obtain diploma, still more is required,
viz. Exemplary department, patience, in
dustry and obedience. The first years ex-
perience was far from satisfactory. Among
seventy-three applicants, hailing from the
| various States, only twenty-nine were
| found that gave promise of ability to fulfill
the conditions. Of these ten were dismiss
ed for various causes before the expiration
of the first nine months. To serve medicine

and of romance, and goes far, at first to

but short period of wound dressing and
night-watching is sufficient to dispel such
illusions. Every year, young women
whose abilities warranted their admittance
at the commencement OF the course have
been permitted to depart before its com
pletion, owing to an evident distaste OF
their part for the duties imposed upor
them. But the managers, though surprised
at the result of their first efforts, were moi
discouraged. As time went by, the mum

the high standard first established was no
