Well, you said two years ago that a
certain railroad agent in Jackson
County had charged some laboring
men four or five dollars freight on a
barrel Of salt they ordered from Ports
mouth, because the laboring men did
not buy their salt from coal compa-
ny Of which company this railroad
agent was also agent. We have been
calling on you for the name Of this
agent for two years, and you are as
dumb as an oyster. Give us the name
of this scoundrel, and we will give
you the names Of at least five promi-

Medical Noticel
The Great Renowned Physician
DR.. GARDNER II

The Doctor has for many years devoted
his undivided attention to the study and
treatment of Chronic and Female Dis
eases; and from the many different cases
which the Doctor has successfully treat
ed, he would heartily recommend all those
who are suffering from Chronic and Fe-
male Diseases to give him a trial and test
his astounding ability in treating diseases
of a chronic nature, of all kinds.
The Doctors superior knowledge of the
condition of his patient is marvellous. He
makes examination, locates disease, CIV
ing cause and effect more perfectly than
the patient can tell it. These examina-
tions are marvellous and astounding, and
battle scientific investigation. He guar
antees to cure every disease he pronounc-
es durable, provided patient does as di-
rected after treatment. The Doctor has
proven to the public that Moles, Warts,
Mothers Marks, Colored Specks, Wens,
etc., can be removed without pain and
leave no scar or pit This delicate opera
tion is highly appreciated by people of
taste and refinement.
References is made to w. M Burris,
attorney at law, Of Buckeye City, Knox
county, o., as to cases successfully treated
by the Doctor.
DR.. Lake, of Philadelphia, can testify
to the many marvellous cures made by
DR.. Gardner.
DR.. Gardner will be at Room No. O.
! Valley House, Jackson, until the 31st of
this month.

WE had selected special from the
Cincinnati Commercial giving an ac-
count of a glorious time had by the
Cincinnati lovers of personal iber-
ty," at a camp-meeting in Indiana
last week. It is too long, and we
must leave it for next week. In the
mean time here are couple Of little
items which will cheer the heart Of
the jolly editor Of the Commercial.
The first is from the Gazette, and oc-
Cured in Cincinnati:
"Fritz Meyer, German forty-three
years old, living on Bellevue street,
celebrated Sunday by getting glo-
riously drunk. While in this condi-
ton, becoming exasperated at several
children who were following him, he
turned and brutally kicked little
four year old daughter Of Mrs. Mary
Ford, living at $50 Elm street. But
for the timely arrival Of the officers
he would have kicked the little girl to
DEATH"
"PITTsBURe, Aug. 12.-Albert Har-
rison, worthless fellow, while intox-
icated, stabbed his son William, in
ficting probably fatal wound. The
son interposed to protect his sister
from being abused by the father"

Pisa, SUNDAY MORNING, %

PISA, SUNDAY MORNING, ODD.
It became so late before l could
finish, at Florence, that waited for
here. Left Florence yesterday even
ing at five, and reached here at eight,
just nice time in the day to travel,
and we enjoyed it exceedingly. We
are at the "Hotel de Londu," and a
very nice place. Oh what a nice rest
we had last night, after noisy, hot
Florence! Every thing looks so per-
fectly clean here, and we can drink
the water. You know it is dangerous,
and running a great risk to drink the
water in Italy. 1t is not pure, and
nearly all the people have the swell
ings on their neeks from it. We were
told it was safe to drink the water
here, as it is brought from the Appe-
mines, and much purer. You cannot
realize how much we suffer from
thirst, and cannot have a good drink
of ice water, but have to quench Tor
try tol the thirst with ice tea and
wine.
We will visit the Leaning Tower,
Baptistry and Cathedral this evening,
and leave for Genoa in the morning.
Now I will go back to Andumatt,
where I left off. From there we went
to Milan and stayed Saturday and
Sunday, leaving on Monday noon for
Venice. At Milan we went to see
the Art Galleries, Cathedral and
many other places. One Of the most
interesting-I will say the most in
teresting, was the Hall where was
Leonard's de Vinci's ''Last Supper"
Never has any picture impressed me
as it did. 1t was just my idea of the
"Last Supper" The faces were a
study for week, but Of course we
could not spend more than an hour
looking at it. There seemed to be
perfect rest in the face of Christ, and
it did one good to look at it. We left
Milan Monday for Venice, and reach
ed there in the evening, went from

BROTHER BARNES has been holding
a revival at Dayton, Ohio. In describ-
ing the means Of salvation in recent
sermon, he exclaimed: "All you have
to do is to call him lord, and you are
saved" At this point a brother in
the audience handed up a question as
to whether or not a man, after ''con-
Tossing Jesus" might go right on sin
ming, and yet be saved. Brother
Barnes replied, among other things:
These supposes come direct from the devil You
put suppositon, my dear brother, that cannot hap
pen. Dan't be fools about these things. The Lord
saws to the newly-converted man: "Go, and sin no
more" After having confessed Jesus man can &c
and sin all his fe and then have his neck broken In
the act of SHINING and yet be saved This is putting
1t pretty strong, but 1t is true. ..s..-.
Here IS an Evangelist" pretending
to possess common sense, and engaged
in preaching the gospel preached and
practiced by the Savior Of mankind
going about attempting to convince
the people that man may, after sim
| ply "confessing Jesus" commit al
the crimes in the calendar; in fact b
destroyed while in the act Of commit
ting crime, and 60 straightway to liv'
in mansions Of eternal glory. Broth
er Guiteau has perhaps ''gone to pre-
pare a place." for Brother Barnes i
coming.

THE Herald is out for this week.
We noticed several short articles about
Cherington, repeating the same old lie
about the Sheriff taking jurors out to
get beer; but we failed to see any
thing about the $112.50 that Gould
drew from the county treasury by
mistake last fall, and which he has
failed, so far, to pay back.
Last week we called the attention of
the Prosecuting Attorney to this mat
ter. He, of course, now that his at
tention has been called to it, will, as
one of the examining committee, after
next term of the Court, investigate
| the matter.

LAST week we received funeral
notice Of the death of Charles A.
Vogeler, of Baltimore. He was thirty
one years Of age, and for eight years
had been the managing agent of the
firm of A. Vogeler & Co., advertising
agents. Last year we did $40 worth
of advertising for this firm, advertis-
ing st. Jacobs Oil, and they were the
most prompt business men we have
met in our twenty years experience
sending us our $40 each quarter with
out our sending bill.

ONE Of the most horrible outrages
ever perpetrated occurred at a school
house near Taylorville, ILL.,, where the
teacher, Miss Bond, was chloroformed
and kept in the attic of the building,
by three rufians, until almost dead.
The scoundrels were caught, and the
citizens took them out Of Jail to
hang them, but were prevailed on to
let the law take its course. This is
one of the very few cases where the
mob would be excusable in doing
some bloody work. These beasts have
no right to live.

THE Republicans Of Kansas held
their State Convention last week, and
renominated Gov. st. John. With
the exception of Hon. Neal Dow, of
Maine, Gov. st. John is perhaps the
most earnest temperance man in the
United States.
The Convention passed the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, That we declare ourselves unqualifedly
in of the prohibition and of the manufacture and
sale interchanging Of liquors as beverage, and
pledge ourselves to such additional legislation
shall secure the rigid enforcement Of the censtittu
tional provision this subject in all parts of the
State.
How grand that rings out when
compared with the miserable abortion
passed by the Ohio Republican State
Convention!
The Kansas Convention also passed
the following resolution:
Resolved, That we request the next Legislature to
submit such amendment to the of the
State win secure to women the right of suffrage.

Col. VANCE, of the Gallipolis Bul-
leti,a, affects to rejoice that Ohio has
already gone Democratic, because the
Cincinnati doggery-keepers and brew
ers have joined the Democracy. We
are glad to note that the Col. enjoys
himself in such a crowd, but on the
morning after the October election
the Col. will find that the Republi-
cans are still in-the only unusual
thing being that there are possibly a
few more "hellions' than usual on
the outside. The Col. should not
bank largely on the Cincinnati brew
ers carrying Ohio for free beer, licens-
ed murder, and no Sunday.

THE Statutes Of Ohio forbid a
State officer engaging in insurance
business. A few days ago Notary
Public sent his resignation to Gov
ernor Foster, giving as his reason foI
resigning that he did not want to 60
to the Penitentiary, and he could
make more money as Insurance
Agent then as Notary. So it will be
seen that an Ohio man can resign an
ofice-to keep from going to the
Penitentiary.

THE OLD DESERTED SHAFT!
]. II. II.

Grim and gray, in the shades Of Eight,
1 see it standing, a lonely sight,
Now undisturbed by the miners call,
The hoisting-house, with its chimney tall,
Ofthe old deserted shaft.
Rusted the boilers brown and old,
Crumbling down is the furnace cold;
Pulley and cog wheel creak no more,
For the days of busy toll are DER
For the old deserted shaft.
The cables that drew the "diamonds'' dark,
From the regions lit by the mine-lamp's spark,
Are worn and broken, or thrown away,
And tell the tale of the sad decay,
Round the old deserted shaft.
No more the song of the merry crowd,
Or the boisterous laughter, ringing loud,
Breaks on the breath of the breezes cold
That ever raise from the gloomy hold
Ofthe old deserted shaft.
Where are the miners who gaiy sang
Where are the picks that loudly rang?
We peer in the gloom, and we loudly call,
But they answer not-it is silent, all,
This old deserted shaft.
Gone are the miners that labored then
Those sturdy boys are now strong men;
They labor now in the worlds great mine,
And we see no more the dull lamps shine
In the old deserted shaft.
Sad is the story the old shaft tells
Touching the lesson that round 1t dwells:
II freely gave of my humble store
They took my all, and they came no more"
| Says the old deserted shaft.
| "While up from my depths my store raised,
| Friends drew near me, fattered and praised
Gazed with pride down my yawning brink
| But now, alas, they rarely think
Of the old deserted shaft.
oh, that my poor life, thou gloomy mine,
Be far removed from the course of thine!
| Let not the friends who applaud to-day
In hours of trouble put me away
| Like the old deserted shaft
| When Times great book has been unsealed,
And the work of the ages stands revealed,
Bright in the honored names enrolled,
| We may see, in letters of purest gold
| 1.-THE old deserted shaft
| Giving up all of its precious store
That man might live-it could do no more;
Peaceful contented, 1t stands at last,
And we count 'mong the things of the fading Past
| The old deserted shaft,
