The Tjtje Of Esovjce

The legislative prohibition by the
United States Of titles Of nobility
could not eradicate the trail Of human
nature which makes such titles, or
any verbal badge ofdistinction, dear
ly craved prize TO the mass Of people;
but in our eagerness for these we have
done more TO abolish them than any
laws, by making them ridiculous. A
title given TO everybody is a self-con'
tradiction and absurdity, for it distin-
guishes no one and implies nothing;
and, in our democratic society, no one
is willing to give others the monopoly
Of such distinctions. In consequence,
several titles which were tolerably de-
finite in meaning once have become
tags that do not add a hair to the
meaning Of the name itself. Among
thesois Esq" once coveted badge
OF professional distinction, and in ear
ly New England times confined rigid

"Mr." was only allowed to respectable
householders in good standing. Com
ing to us from ieudal England, Esq"

ty and kindred occupations. 1t was at
length assumed by or conferred by
courtesy upon prominent and wealthy
citizens, and at last has come 10 mean
only an adult male citizen-the same

the name would imply without addi-
ton. II is therefore utterly useless,
a bore and an offence; for a meaning
less title is an afront to any man. II
should be dlsused altogether, and left
to be marked Obsolete in the die
tionaries. Write "John Smith" or
"Mr. John Smith" il you please, but

Mrs. Stow, a San Francisco dress
reformer, has informed the police that
ON Jan. /, she will begin to wear trows
ers in public, and she demands pro
lection in case street crowds insult her.
But the Chef Of Police seems to think
it will be his duty to arrest her, on the
ground that her conduct would be dis.
orderly. As to the form of the pro.
posed garment, Mrs. Stow says; "My
trowsers are made with plat, and
descend just TO the line of beauty in
the calf of the leg, just where the
dresses of young girls come; and il
young girls wear their dresses there,
why should not old girls adopt the
same fashion," She is advised by a
lawyer that California has no law by
which she can be prevented from dress
ing in that fashion.

What Is HuHQerS

DIR. tornie, the French physiolo-
gist, distinguishes between hunger and
appetite by describing the former as a
general desire for food, no matter of
what kind, while appetite is the feel
ing of pleasure, which results from
the qualification of that desire. This
is proved by the fact that often when
we are not hungry, appetite comes
while We are eating or at the mere
sight and smell of some favorite dish.
The question as to where the seat of
the feeling of hunger is, has been
much discussed by Psychologists. Lev
en- asserts that it is not known at all,
while Longet and Schiff believe that
it is difiused through the whole body;
but this latter view is disproved by
the fact that in some diseases people
waste away without ever having the
slightest feeling Of hunger. Doctor
Fournie's theory is this When meal
time arrives the glands of the stomach
become filled aud distended, and ready
to accomplish their function of digest
ing the food. But if food is not in
troduced they remain in this distend.
ed condition, and the result is the un.
easy feeling we call hunger. Excel
lent proof of this theory is afforded
by the habit Of some indians OF eat
ing clay to appease hunger. The in
PRODUCTION of the clay is followed by
the discharge Of the glands, and the
sensation of hunger is arrested.

Why if was Done.

BArnesville Enterprise.
The nomination Of Updegraf ia not only q
vindicstion Of himself, but of the people as
we'll With our hand ON the public pulse, as
il were, and having daily communication with
the people, we know that DR.. Updegraf was
nominated because the people believed he is
the most suitable msR for the place. He had
been elected twice, had done well, snd there
was no reason, TO the average citizen, why be
should be laid aside and denied third term.
This had been given in the case of Bingham
and Danford, and there was no sufficient reason
why it should be refused Updegraff. :
The selection OF Updegraff can be explained
just as the election of Thurman, PendieIor
and Sherman to the Senate can be explained
because the people believed them fitted fol
the place. Had DIR. Updegraf failed to be 6
good representative, all the fortune that he
possessed could not have secured him thi:
third honor. The people of this district judge
a man by his merit, measure his capacity, and
if he passes their criticism, he is honored at
their hands. Dr. Updegrsff is not their idea
mah nor statesman; he has faults like other
men; but the people know that he has done
well as q representative, and they decide DC
shallsgoiback. Ambitious sspirsRts and n
walls who hate him may strive to overthrow
the will OF the people, but no man nor set oi
men tower enough shove the masses to die
tate TO them in matter like this. The peo.
pie are as intelligent IS the leaders, and sur
veying the field, decide that representative
who has been faithful to their interests ant

wsrded. This is all there is in this contest
Updegraf was nominated because the people
thought ne ought 10 be, and not through any
effort, corrupt or Otherwise, OF his own.

Alexander. MiIligan


! The chairman of the Belmont delega-
1 tion Miles Joshua W. Glover had so
many assistants in making up the vote
of Belmont, that he became confused,
when finally an Alexander delegate
handed him paper with memoranda
| of IL votes for Milligan and Al for Alex
ander and the chairman announced that
as the vote of the delegation, and so it
was recorded.
The vote rs cast footed up 40 for Mil
ligan and 1877 for Alexander.
The vote of Guernsey and votes in
Harrison were changed to Alexander.
Some of the Belment delegations moved
to change the II Milligan votes in Bel
mont to Alexander, but the Bellairs
delegates shouted No! No! furiously.
A motion to make the nomination of
Mr.. Alexander unanimous vas met by
considerable negative vote, when the
delegates from Bellaire left The hall in a
body, one of them remarking as he left,
that ROSS Alexander was like bass
drum-easy to beat"
Just before the delegation departed DR..
Cook and Hon. David Wagener who
was one of the departing delegates, got
into wordy alteration, in which the
Senator charged Cook and Alexander
| with being no DemOcratS-the lie and
ID lie passed pretty freely, and blood
was In the moon-but the irate Senator
went with his party and left the Doctor
master of the situation.
Peace being restored q committee was
sent for the nominee. Senator Pendle-
ton was then introduced, but owing to
the necessity of his leaving on the after
noon train, he spoke but few minutes,
upon the issues of the campaign as view
ed from Democratic standpoint. He
was followed in short speech by Mr..
Newman, after which Mr.. Alexander,
the nominee, was presented, and return
ed his thanks for the honor conferred,
and the convention adjourned. @
