IT i'll becomes us to sneer at the
Chinese civilizatation, and ridicule it's
achievements. 1t is immeasurably
ahead of anything our own ancestors
had done few centuries ago. A peo-
pie who invented silk and porcelain
manufacture, the mariners compass,
gunpowder and printing, and whose
literature is exceeded in interest and
value by few other races, would seem
to be too secure in its position to be
much affected by our taunts and hos
tility. We fell that we have cul-
ture full of higher elements than
theirs, culture which is sustained by
greater energy and progress, and
that there are elements in the Chinese
character that are distasteful to us,
but all this will not excuse our atti-
tude toward them.

A CURIOSITY of the Census.


While the population Of the State
of Ohio increased $50, 2,802 in the de-
cade from 1870 to 1880, during the
same time some of the townships and
counties in the State show singular
falling off in population since former
censuses were taken. For example,:
Carroll county had 1869 less popu-
lation in 1880 than in 1850, and 1892
less than in 1910.
Geauga county had 566 less in 1880
than in 1860, and 1876 less than in
1850.
Harrison county had 400 less in
1880 than in 1880.
Knox county had 304 less in 1880
than in 1860, and 1, AL less than in
1850.
Medina county had 1,O64 less in
1880 than in 1860, and 2,95S less than
in 1850.
Morgan county had 2S9 less in 1880
than in 1870, and 2,045 less than in
1860. -
Morrow county had 1873 less in
1880 than in 1860, and 1858 less than
in 1850. '.- 2.
1t will be observed that in none of
these counties are there any large
towns, Mount Vernon, in Knox coun-
ty, being the largest; but all the
towns and villages have increased
their population, which would indi-
cate greater decrease in the rural
districts than the figures given above
show. The counties referred to are
almost exclusively agricultural coun-
ties, and the steady increase in the
size of the farms, as the character of
the agriculture changes from grain
growing to stock raising, probably ac-
counts for the decrease in population.
There are other counties in the
State where census of the rural dis
triots, apart from the towns and cities,
will show similar curious reduction of
while almost without ex-
ceptlon the population of the latter
has increased in each decade.
There are no less than 254 town.
ships in the State that show reduc-
ton in population during the decade
from 1870 to 1880. Can it be that
these facts are an indication of the
tendency in our older States toward
larger farms, which will eventuate in
q land system analogous to that of
Great Britain at some time in the fu-
ture?" A few men are amassing CO.
lossal fortunes in stocks and bonds;
may not the same thing occur in land
ownership?

ting 800 per month, while many
railroad clerks, every way their equals
and good Republicans, are working
from twelve to fifteen hours per day
for S75 per month.
The reformers charge that a refusal
to pay assessments amounts to re-
moval. 1t ought; man who refuses
to do his duty to his employer should
be compelled to give way to one who
will do his duty. This is business, and
we want business in politics. We be-
lieve in political assessments, but we
do not believe in acting the hypocrite
about it. We despise a hypocrite.
We see in our exchanges, every day,
editorials denouncing assessments, by
old party wheel horses who have
been living off party spoils for half a
century, and are probably at this very
time fixing the assessments on candi-
didates at the approaching Conven-
tions.
The civil service reformers who
hold up England as pattern, forget
that there, in theory, a government
clerk amounts to nothing, while here
he IS aruler, and may some day be elect
ed president Of the United States by
the opposite party. Here, the en-
ployees Of the government may over
throw the party in power if they are
not in harmony with it; there, they
have no political influence whatever.
The true theory, and the one that will
work best in practice, is for the party
in power to make a clean sweep Of
every employee who is not in sympa-
thy with it, and to have it clearly un-
derstood that an appointment to an
office or clerkship does not exempt
a man from doing his duty to his
party.

Colored Preachers in the Brush.

The colored preachers of the old re-
gime seem to have averaged above the
white illiterates. One Of them, de-
yout and sanity man, in enforcing
the duty of keeping the heart from
impure thoughts, used this apt illus
tration: But you say, I can't.
These bad thoughts come to me, and
| can't help it, | know you can't
help it; and | know, too, that you
can't help the birds flying over your
heads; but you can help their building
nests in your ha'r."
Some capital anecdotes are told that
grew out Of the standing controversy
between the blacks as the denomina-
tionalism, the Baptists and Methodists
particularly having their champions
always in the field. One Of the Bap-
tist colored brethren, explaining the
communion doctrine, said:
Presbyterians fence the tables.
Methodists fence the tables. They
do not allow anybody and everybody
to commune with them. We all
fence the tables. The only difference
is, that the Baptist fence is little
higher than any of the others.
To which the reply of Nathan
Board, the colored Methodist cham
pion, was: Nov, my bruddren, I'd
rather have a low fence and tight
one, than a high fence and good
many holes in it, AS the sting of this
resort lay in the fact that some of the
Baptists were Of the anti-mission class,
who opposed an educated and paid
ministry and Sunday schools more
than they did good Bourbon, there
was an opinion that the reply was per-
sonal, and that the Methodist should
be ''whopped" (whipped) for it. He
was allowed to go, however, with
description of de Methodiss" as ''like
grasshopper-hoppin', all de time
hoppin'-hop into hebben, hop out"
while the Baptist was ''like de pos
sum. when he get to hebben, he's
dar." With the attempt to answer
this, which was long deemed a crush
ing blow to Arminianism, we must
close this rerely interesting volume.
"Dr." Board was the war-horse, and
the proposed revision of the Bible by
the American Bible Union furnished
his point to attack:
De Baptist, my bruddern, is in such
gone case dat de ole Bible-de Bible
dat all de faders and mudders gone-to
heaven Wilde ole Bible dat fill US wild
de hebbenly fire all de way along de
road to Canaan-dat ole Bible, my
bruddern, is no account any more to de
Baptiss, and dey say dat de Baptiss is
agwine to get up new diversion. In
de old Bible it reads, if my memory
sarve me, 'In dose days came John de
Baptiss." Dey say in de new Diversion
it's gwine to read, if my memory sarve
me, He shall baptize you wild de Holy
Ghost and wild de fire." Dey say dat
in de new Diversion it's gwine to read,
"He shall inaMerse you wild de Holy
Ghost and wild de fire''-'taiH dar,my
bruddren! Immersin' wild fire, my
bruddren !immersin' wild fire! Who
eber read in de Bible bout immersin'
wild fire, only dem chil'en OBJ de three
Hebrewsers? Dey was immersed wild

times hot by de dedict of Nebuckefas-
wat You call EN- now scratching his
head -"Shamrack, Shimshack and
Bedgone. Dey ar all dat we read in de
Bible bout bein' immersed wild fire. y
This was the finishing blow.

Scientific Advancement.

Scientific advancement, It has been
remarked, has been slower and less
noticeable in the care of the sick and
the treatment Of disease than in any
other department Of human knowl-
edge The life or death Of a patient
is too frequently mere matter Of ac-
cident or chance Some great discov-
cries, however, have been made and
certain remedies are known and used
with almost infallible curative results.
Such remedy is Taraxine where de-
ranged liver is involved, or where dis
eases of the Bowels, Kidneys or Spleen
prevail. For sale by E. D. Lewis.

The Democratic party, having salts
factorily demonstrated its incapacity
for public affairs, is now inspired only
by a noble ambition to put every pos
sible obstacle in the way of the party
that can administer the government
successfully. Says the hog to the

cannot draw the wagon myself, | will
not be humihated by seeing you drag
it along. | will lie down across the
road so that you must either stop or

A CHILD'S BIRTHDAY.
BY OLIVER JOHNSON.


How fast, dear child, have sped the years
Since first saw thy baby face,
And, wondering at the miracle,
Held thee in long and fond embrace.
On that bright morn in 1owery June
When first knew fathers bliss,
How earth and sky were glorified,
How like the heavenly world was this.
schoolgirl stands before me now,
hear thee read and sing and spell,
Sweet hymns repeat with modest grace,
And see thee write letter well.
All little maid, how like flower
Thy mind unfolds its petals bright,
While charming traits of womanhood
Are growing daily in my sight.
And yet thou art baby still,
AS happy in thy winsome ways
As any bird on bush or tree,
That MARBLES clear it's morning lays.
Thou lowest every childish sport,
To play croquet upon the lawn,
Or ride the pony in the park,
Or sail the lake where sports the swan,
Trundle the hoop or toss the ball,
Or ride in state behind the goat,
Or run and romp upon the green,
While i'll the breeze thy tresses float.
But, best of all, the name of God
Thy heart to holy reverence moves;
His candle, lighted in thy breast,
Shows thee the way that He approves.
The name of Christ to thee is sweet,
And sweet his earnest, tender call:
"Come, little children, unto me;
o come, in welcome, one and ALL"
Walk in the light which He has shown,
Open thy heart with joy to Him,
And He will take thee for his own.

Its jasper walls in air,
know not where the glory beams,
So marvellously fair.

Upon that farther shore,
cannot hear the rapturous song
OF dear ones gone before;
But dimmed and blinded earthly eyes,
Washed clear by contrite tears,
Sometimes catch glimpses of the light
From the eternal years.

The joy of sins forgiven
For Christ the Blessed reigns within,
And where He is-'tis heaven.

WASHINGTON, July l0.-Iour correspon'

MIA, tonight, ad had an extended talk with
him. Speaking of the peace conference at
Philadelphia, the Senator said: 81 don't
think anything will be accomplished by it.
The Stalwarts are not likely to suggest any
co ompromise that will be acceptable to us.
They have fooled around for the last three
months trying to catch us mapping, but
they have signally failed. Even
if they should offer terms that would
be reasonable, the Independents
have so little confidence in
their holding of anything, that they would
hesitate to join hands with them. In my
opinion, the fight will continue as it has
begun. Three tickets will remain in the
field. and Cameronism and the machine
will be surely overthrown. l don't think
that the Democrats will fall into power
from this state of affairs. / am so much
