Among the young men who graduated
here, several have studied law; four of
them are practicing with success;
Others are still studying, and will soon
be admitted. Some have studied med
icine, while others aresuccessful farm
ers. Several Of the young ladies are
teaching.
We have annual reunions and ban
quets of our alumni; these of course
are very interesting and pleasant oc-
casions. The last one was held some
two weeks ago. A large majority of
the members were present, with many
invited guests.
My associate Principal in the School
of Shorthand, which is to begin in

here he studied law with Keifer, (oul

IT would seem that the Rev. Mr..
Hicks, who looked after the spiritual
welfare Of Guiteau in his last mo-
ments, was converted to the devilish
notions Of tie latter. Rev. Hicks
thinks that Guiteau was greater than
Swedenborg. Such Ministers as
Rev. Hicks deal greater blows to the
Christian religion than all the Paines
and Ingersolls in Christendom. With
many of these tender-hearted Minis
ters,' it is only necessary that pris-
oner be bloody murderer, and they
gush for him at once. Any murderer
is willing to be good murderer as he
approaches the scaffold.

SOME two years ago, Mr.. Edwin c..
Woodbury., of New York, was study
ing, very seriously, the truth, as found
in the Bible, While engaged in this
commendable manner, he became sud-
denly imbued with the idea that it
was his mission to teach and preach
the truth. He would teach the youth
the way that leads to life eternal.
Therefore he hired hall and secured
a class of boys. But boys are gener-
ally little ''skittish" in the study of
Biblical matters, and something must
be done to make the study interesting
as we'll as profitable.
But Woodbury. was equal to the
demands of the situation. He bought
some drums. Sacred history records
that once upon time certain emissa.
ries went around about the walls Of {
wicked city, blowing rams horns
why not Mr.. Woodbury's class marcl
up and down the halls of a wicked
city, beating a bass drum?
But the neighbors kicked, and MIR
w. was sent, like many another goot
crank, to an Asylum for the Insane
where he has had time to cool down
and work some of the truth out O
himself. A few days ago he was dis
charged, as a sane man. But he will
probably not buy any more drums.
The truth is not generally fatal
but some men cannot stand very mucl
of it.

Random Thoughts.
BY d. MACKLEY.

Two or three months ago an old
subscriber-a Democrat, came into
my office for friendly chat. He said
he had been reader Of the Standard
for many years, but he did not care
so much about reading it since had
quit writing Random Thoughts.
Many Of my subscribers have told me
that the first thing they read in the
Standard was Random Thoughts and
Personal Recollections.
| have noticed that teamsters almost
universally drive their teams along the
same part Of the road, and the wheels
Of the wagons cut into the same ruts-
deeper and deeper. These ruts often
get filled with water, and their depth
and danger cannot be seen. The
wheels often cut down until the axle
touches the ground, and sometimes
wheel gets smashed.
If teamster drives along the solid
ground, out of the ruts, he will find it
little rough sometimes, but his wag-
on is in no danger of getting broken
by the twisting and wrenching Of the
ruts.
Just so in writing. There is too
little Of originality, or individuality.
Only last week [ saw one Of my liable p
editorials in the editorial columns Of
one of my exchanges, loaded out as
original. Now [ have no doubt that
the editor could have written better
editorial Of his own; but he dreaded
to get up out Of cid ruts, upon solid
ground, for fear his wagon might jolt
little as it passed over the loose peb-
bles.
Now | propose to indulge, as [ may
feel the disposition, in some Random
Thoughts, in future numbers Of the
Standard. shall say just what l may
think at the time. [ may sometimes
dodge from one subject to another as
wildly as the old man Rose did. ]
have told this story before, but | will
repeat it here. Rose was a devout
man, and held family prayer. He had
lost his gimlet, and he and his wife
Mollie had sought for it in vain
During the morning prayer the old
man looked up, as | have noticed that
devout men generally do, and he es-
pied the lost gimlet where it had been
bored into the under side Of the joist
and left sticking there for safe keep,
ing. AS soon as he saw it he bawled
out, right in the midst Of his prayer
81 God Mollie, there is the lost gim-
let"
l now find myself in the condition
Of the boy who undertook to jump
over the fence He ran two hundred
yards to get good impetus, and then
had to sit down and rest before he
jumped. So you must wait until next
week.

THE GRAVE BY THE BRoOKLET.


Down by the brook, where the willow tree grows
cottage in solitude stands;
Near its age-backened walls the egantine blows,
And the soft winds of Spring shake wilowy rows
That nod DER the brooks shining sands.
There oft, in the fast fading days that have fed
With the SUMS first lighting the sky,
watched from this cottage the first streaks of
That over the far Eastern hillocks were shed,
And heard the clear brook babbling by,
All, soft was the hand which then rested in NINE
And lovely those dear eyes of blue
How sweet round my heart do the memories twine
And 1 see, once again, that young face divine,
That told of heart warm and true.
How oft did we ramble, with hearts1ight and free,
Over meadow and valley and hill.
We knew every fower-by name called each tree,
And oft did pause by the willows to see
The young fish play in the rill.
When came the dull Autumn-the days growing cold
And the fields wore their garments of brown,
When the trees in the woodland their beauty unfold
| We watched the rich colors of crimson and gold,
That hung on the hill like crown
| Winter came on, with its dull biting'f frost,
| When the earth mantle of snow:
1 saw my young friend by suffering toss'd
1 heard in a dream, that the young life was lost
And fell with the terrible blow.
The Spring came again, 1 covered with flowers
| little green grave on the hill;
You may see it, just there, where its snowy shat
| towers
Its white head above the green network of bowers.
Where the roses are blossoming still.
go to that grave when the first breath of Spring
Is borne on the mild Southern breeze;
| l train the young roses-fresh flowers 1 bring,
| And list to the birds that so merrily sing
In the boughs of the old willow trees.
While watching these flowers, with tenderest care
As the years go rapidly by,
1 think of that flower, so lovely and rare,
Which our Heavenly Father no longer could spare,
Now sweety transplanted on high.
To those who will trust Him, He giVeth relief
To hearts that are burdened with pain;
If we carry, in prayer our burden of grief
To Him. He will surely reward our belief
And make our hearts happy again.

PERHAPS one of the most villain
ously abused editors in this State is
Mr.. Edwin Cowles, of the Cleveland
Leader. Mr.. Cowles is a man who
has the nerve to vigorously defend
himself when occasion requires, but
his assailants, like all of their class,
are generally SO outrageous in their
attacks as to give him but little cause
for grievance-their attacks only
working to their own injury. A short
time ago Mr.. Cowles seized an oficious
priest who was meddling with his pri-
vate affairs, and led him out Of the
Leader Office. A few days ago Bishop
Gilmour published an attack upon
Mr.. Cowles, and the latter has sued
him for libel, fixing the damages at
twenty-five thousand dollars.
The proper way for Mr.. Cowles to
treat such fellows would be to ignore
them altogether. They would soon
strangle themselves in their own filth.
We have known a man to be black
guarded and lied about persistently for
a quarter of century, and go right
ahead, and make money, and retain
the respect Of his fellow men, while
his assailants were hanging upon the
social structure by their eyebrows,
and living the lives Of confidence men.
There is one belief we may hold on to
with perfect confidence, and that is
the belief that Right will prevail, and
Time settles all grievances about right.

Mr.. Davis Mackley, Sr., Editor jack
son Standard, Jackson, O.
Dear Sir and Friend:
AS others are sending in their dollar
in response to your friendly call, I
will send mine.
[ don't see how [ could do without
the Standard. 1t has long been a
welcome visitor to my home. l have
read it ever since was boy, and it
has no doubt had an influence in
forming my character; but whether
that will be a compliment to the
Standard or not, I will leave to those
who know me best to judge. I was
just reaching my majority when the
Republican party was formed; hence
[ was very much interested in what
you said last week about the orig gin of
the party in Jackson. Ny first vote
was for Fremont. [ have always been
a Republican.
Mr.. Mackley, did you ever think of
the influence your paper has exerted
during the last 26 years and what a
great responsibility rests upon you as
an educator? [ have no doubt you
have; and I am glad you have not hes
itated to speak out boldly in favor of
the right. I trust that during the
next few years your influence may
have telling effect in favor of the
great cause Of temperance, and may
our beloved State Of Ohio soon follow
the example Of Kansas and Iowa.
Supposing that my many pupils and
former associate teachers in Jackson
County may still feel an interest in
me, [ wish to say that I have had
charge Of the public schools of this
place for the past Ii years, was elected
again, but have resigned to engage in
other business, part of which is indi-

THAT is sad story told by Mr..
Page, one Of the Engineers Of the Sci
oto, sunk in Collision with the Lomas,
near Mingo, on the Ohio River few
days ago. Mr. Page leaped into the
river after the collision, and swan to
the shore, assisting two boys who were
struggling near him, all three reach
ing the Ohio shore in safety. When
he looked around, while swimming, he
saw the water covered with struggling
people, and, in his own language
women and children were crying,
men were shouting and cursing, and
the whole scene was a pandemonium
such as is seldom witnessed on earth. "
1t does seem strange that in as wide
stream as the Ohio River two small
steamboats, cannot pass each other
without collision. When a boat is
destroyed by fire, or explosion of
boilers, or is sunken by snags, there is
a rational way of accounting for the
misfortune. But when two boats
running in opposite directions, meet
in a clear river, and run out their re-
spective ways to collide, sink, and de-
stroy life, it does seem to be one of the
things that are past accounting for.

On Wednesday Of last week we re-
ceived the first number of paper with
the above title. It is edited and pub
lished by John L. Davies and James
M. Tripp. They have all new mate
rial, a Cincinnati cylinder power press,
a Bookwalter engine, new type, &c.
This fine new printing establishment
is credit and an honor not only to
the proprietors, but also to the energy,
progress and enterprise Of Jackson
county. The business Of the county,
so rapidly increasing, will sustain two
frst-class papers.
The editors are both natives of
Jackson county, and are young men
of fine abilities. Mr.. Davies is son
of Lot Davies, the we'll known fur
naceman, and is graduate Of Mari
eta College. Mr.. Trip is son of
Judge Trip, and is graduate of the
Ohio University, at Athens. They
have both been Republicans from
their youth up, and they could not
make their paper anything but Re
publican, if they should try. Among
the subscribers to the new paper are
many young Democrats. Nearly al
the better class of Democrats now
take the Standard, and with two first
class Republican papers working il
harmony, and substantially no Demo
cratic paper in the county, the pros
poets for the future Of Democracy il
Jackson county look rather gloomy.
