The Church Militant.

One summer in the years gone, while
a camp meeting was In progress in Ea-
ton county, there arrived on the grounds
a bully named Miller, who had made q
VOW to lick Elder johnson and break up
the whole business. The Elder heard
the news with calm composure, and as
soon as at liberty he hunted up world
ly friend of his own, and asked: a-
"Friend Smith, didn't you used to
fight in your younger daysw
"Ah, Elder, have had many turn
with the boys"
"And what is the effect of a sudden
blow between the eyesY"
at astonishss and humbles."
ais there any danger of killing man
by such blow?"
"Never knew case of It."
The Elder went his way with serene
smile on his face. Miller had his coat
off and was hunting for him, and they
met face to face as they turned wag-
on. Miller started to crack his heels
and crow, but he never finished. The
Elder took him one square between the
lockers without stopping his pace, and
it took twelve rowdies, three dippers of
water, and two quarts of whisky to re-
vive the patient and get him off the
grounds. One day, year afterward, he
met the Elder and seriously asked:
"Elder, some of the boys say | was
kicked by horse, and others stick to it
that was struck by lightning; bat I've
always had suspicion that you hit me
with provision stand. How was it,
anyhow ?"-Detroit Free Press.

lickins and EnIdSmith.

We cannot imagine tive styles more
opposite. Dickens, as restless as he
is frenchant, is always at full stretch,
and never, even when he is describing a
restful scene, gives us the atmosphere or
attitude of rest. Again, even when he
is most powerful in description, he is
never poetical-never gives us the liquid
light of true poetry. Goldsmith is the
very antithesis of him in both respects ;
he is as resting as Dickens is fatiguing,
as poetical in his wonderful idyls as
Dickens is exciting and melodramatic.
There is not passage in all Dickens
works that man familiar with Gold
smith could mistake for Goldsmith's,
not touch of pathos that in the least
resembles the pathos Of Goldsmith. In
an unusually restless period of his life
Dickens describes himself as "a free
and-easy sort of superior vagabond."
Goldsmith, too, had some of the vaga-
bond ways about him, and knew what
vagabOndage meant. But what differ
ent capacities for vagabondage theirs
were. Goldsmith was the easy-going
Irishman of genius, readily adapting
himself to everything he met; while
Dickens was the sharply straining Lon
don .,amin, adapting everything he met
to himself. We should find IL hard to
imagine two men of genius more con-
trasted than the author of the Deserted
Village" and the author of the Christ
mas Carol or the "Chimes." All the
genius of the one man is reflective, all
the genius of the other active and ma
nipulate, even to the straining of nature
into all sorts of exquisitely humorous
knots of painful melodramatic compli-
ations of cordage.-[The Spectator.

"War-HOrse" Nicholson.

Rear Admiral J. W. A. Nicholson,
whose course as commander of the
American squadron in Egyptian waters
has excited so much comment, both in
this country and in England, is known
in naval circles as "War-Horse" Nichol-
son, and it has often been said of him
that he would rather fight than eat. He
is native of Massachusetts, and sixty
one years old. He was appointed to the
Naval Academy from New York In
1888, and rose by degrees until made
Lieutenant in 1852. He was in the ia
panese expedition under Commodore
Perry, from 1858 to 1866, and was sta
toned on shore with guard from the
Vandalia at Shanghai several months,
to protect the foreign settlement while
the contending Chinese were encamped
near by. He was attached in 1851 to
the steamer Pocahontas, which started
to the relief of Fort Sumter, but arrived
too late. He was in command of the
and participated in the action with the
Confederate fleet on November 5 and 6,
the battle of Fort Royal, the capture of
Jacksonville, Fernandin, and st. Angus
tine, and held Jacksonville and st. Au
gustine several months. He also was
engaged with the Confederate fiotilla in
Savannah river in 1862, in which year
he was commissioned commander. He
commanded the monitor Manhattan in |
the Western Gulf Squadron in 1854, was
at the battle of the Mobile Bay forts,
assisted in the capture of the Confeder- |
ate ram Tennessee, and was at the bonn
bardment of Fort Morgan and other en- |
He was made Captain in
1868, Commodore in 1878. Rear-Admiral |
on October 1, 1881. He has spent two
thirds of his time at sea.

Facts About Ohio Sinners.

The penitentiary at Columbus con-
tanned at last accounts 1,135 men and
only II women. A male sinner in Ohio
is about seventy times more likely to
get locked up than a female sinner
Prison labor produced last year $1,000
over and above the cost of keeping
the conyicts. Therefore. If the entire
population of Ohio, with the exception
of Deacon Richard Smith, were locked
up and set at work, the State would
have an assured net income of, say,
S7,5O.O000. i.-.
Only lis, or one in ten, of Ohio sim
ners at Columbus cannot read.
OF the 584 sinners locked up last year,
70 are colored, 20 German, and only
Irish. Nearly all use tobacco, and sew
en-eighths of them love the cup.
OF these 564 sinners 10 are college
graduates.
The paren.s Of 156 Of these 564 sim
ners were Msthodists; the parents Of
III, Roman Catholics. There were only
about so of the sinners whose parents
were not church members.
Nearly half of the 564 sinners had
been Sunday school scholars, not tran
sieht, but for periods averaging Eve
years.
One-third of the 564 sinners are mar
ried. One Of the 564 was widow.

The Press and the PlOw.
We envy not tie princely man,
In city or in town.

We envy not tie princely man,
In city or in town,
Who wonders whether pumpkin vines
Turn up the hill or down.
We care not for his marble halls,
Nor yet his heaps of gold;
We would not own his sordid heart
For all his wealth twice told.
We are the favored ones of earth.
We breathe pure air each morn,
We sow, we reap the golden grain,
We gather in the corn.
We toil-we live on what we earn,
And more than this we do
We hear of starving millions round,
And gladly feed them too.
The lawyer lives on princely fees,
Yet drags weary life,
He never knows peaceful hour,
His atmosphere is strife.
A merchant thumbs his yardstick o'er,
Grows haggard at his toll,
He's not the man God meant him for,
Why don't he till the soil?
The doctor plods thro' storm and rain
Plods at his patients will;
When dead and gone he plods again
To get his lengthy bill.
The printer-bless his noble soul!
He grasps the mighty earth,
And stamps it on the daily sheet
To cheer the laborer's hearth.
We sing the honor of the Plow,
And honor to the Press
Two noble instruments of toll,
Each with power to bless.
The bone, the nerve of this fast age,
True wealth of human kind:
One tills the ever faithful earth,
The other tills the mind.

A Husbands Preparations.

The other morning when a Detroitel
seated his wife in car on the Michigan
Central to make journey to Chicago
alone, he took a look around him and
said:
"Now, love, if you should want the
window raised, here are dozen gentle
men who will break their necks to ae-
commodate you"
"Yes, dear"
"If you feel lonesome and want some
body to talk with about affairs in Egypt,
Noah's ark or the ice period, don't hesi-
tate to call upon any of these gentle
men,"
al understand"
"You won't know enough to leave the
car at noon and get your dinner, and
you had bettsr ask some of them to ac-
company you. If they offer to pay for
your meal, don't be squeamish about it. !"
"Of course moi" .la. -
"You may want to read to pass away
time. If so, any of these gentlemen will
be only too happy to purchase you half a
bushel of the latest books and maga-
zines. Be careful to save 'em for me to
read when you get home"
"I'n be certain, love" rtr -aJi
"And you can say to them that We
have been married four years; we do not
live happily together; l am domestic
tyrant; you have strong thoughts Of
procuring divorce; you feel that you
could love the right sort of husband; /;
you like oranges and peanuts; you are
innocent and coniding;yOu have never
travelled; you are afraid of getting lost
in Chicago, and you will be ever 80 much
obliged to any enc who will get hack,
see to your trunk, and pay all the ex-
pense. Goodbye, love"
Goodbye, darl."
And wasn't it strange that not one
single man in the car even spoke to that
lady in a ride of three hundred miles,

AMONG the things the Democracy of
Ohio are in favor OF is ga free and incor-
ruptible ballot" The way their Repre-
sentatives in the House clung to the
Democratic contestants from Southern
districts, after it was demonstrated be-
yond doubt that they had been counted
in by frauds of the most outrageous
character, is a sufficient comment or
the sincerity of the platform declara-
tion. No doubt the Democracy of Ohio
favor the proposition of free ballot,
With mental reservation against too
much freedom in close districts.

A Veteran DiplOmat.


George P. Marsh, the American Minis
ter to Italy, who died at Vallambrosa on
Monday of last week, was not only a
diplomatist, but a linguist and a scholar
whose writings have gained for him an
honored lame in the republic of letters.
A learned essayist, with an extensive
knowledge of the fine arts, he was dis
tinguished by his erudition and his cul-
ture. His residence abroad for an ex-
tended time by no means affected his
love of country, and he was above all
things thorough American, and one of
whom his country has reason to be
proud. Mr.. Marsh was native of Yer
mont, and eighty-one years of age. He
was member of Congress from 1912 to
1S49, when he was made Minister to
Turkey. In 1861 Mr.. Marsh was ap-
pointed Minister to Italy, and during
his twenty years of consecutive service
in that position represented the United
States with dignity and credit. Mrs.
Marsh, who is also gifted with high lit
erary attachments, and is besides a lady
of versatile Accomplishments, assisted
him in his receptions and entertain
ments. Both were held in great esteem
in Roman society. Mr.. Marsh was the
Oldest diplomatic representative in the
service of the United States both in
years and in time Of service. Not long
ago there were rumors as to his intend
ed retirement into private life, but he
preferred to remain in harness and to
end his Iabors only With his life.

THE tariff resolution of the Columbus
Democratic Convention is an amusing
straddle. 1t would be impossible for the
proverbial Philadelphia lawyer to de-
duce from it any definite meaning. 1t
is not for tariff for revenue only, but
for tariff so adjusted as to encourage
productive industries "and afford labor
a just compensation without creating
monopeliesg Now il is perfectly safe
to say that the question is just what
amount of tariff can be imposed to en-
courage productive industries without a
tendency to create monopoiies. Upon
that point the platform is silent, and
leaves the question as open as before.
But this is only sample of dodging
the issue upon all questions. The only
outspoken declaration in the whole
platform is the one in favor of "honest
reform in the civil service" and even
that does not define what shall consti-
'tute honest reform: 1t would, indeed,
be too much to expect a definition of
-honest reform" in that particular, from
party that never attempted it, or has
aver shown the least disposition to try

The talk about an honest and econom-
ical administration of the Government
comes with a poor grace from a party
that has contributed Its share in Con-
gress to a lavish and prohigate expendi-
ture6 6f the public moneys, as instance
the River and HArbof, BIN, whose larg-
est appropriations are for so-called i'm
provements in States solidly Democratic
in politics. But that sort of twaddle
has ornamented every Democratic plat
form within the memory Of living men,
and means absolutely nothing, if meas
ured by the party practice.
The resolution on the temperance is
sue is an absolute confession of timid-
ity. To resolve that we are opposed to
sumptlary legislation does not meet the
issue at all. The question is whether
