WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Hon. James G.
Blaine is announced to be present at the
Virginia State fair, and politicians of that
state regard it as his entry into an active
campaign for the straight out Republi-
cans, and that, instead of telling the agrl-
culturists what he knows about farming,
he will seek to instill into their minds
some of his ideas upon the political stu
alton. The Mahonites claim to be entirely
Indifferent to Blaine's work and influence,
but are nevertheless worried considerably
on account of the position he has taken.

What Sherman Says.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.]
DAYTON, o., Oct. 9.-In an interview
Senator Sherman said: II think that VIC
shall have the liquor question for an issue
mex year, whatever may be the result of
the campaign. Thereafter, however, if
our people are victorious. it will be re-
moved from the political field. I have
been through the state and have met a
great many of the members of our legis-
lature. I find all the Republican members
are IN favor of an amendment
to the constitution which shall
place the whole question in
the hands of the legislature. I have no
doubt that next winter the preliminary
steps will be taken so that an amendment
may be submitted to popular vote one
year from this time. If l. is carried we
shall hear no more Of it in politics. The
subject being under the control of the leg
islature. Democratic precincts will elect
temperance or anti-temperance Democrats
to the legislature, according to their pref
erence, and Republican precincts will choose
temperance Or anti-tempsrance Republi-
cans"
Senator Sherman expressed himself
hopefully in reference to the general po-
litical situation, said the liquor issue rem
dered the outcome uncertain, but he be-
lieved the Republican state ticket would
be elected, and that 10000 German Repub-
licans in Cincinnati would vote the Demo
cratic ticket. He said the liquor sellers
were bitter all over the state, but they were
Democrats anyway.

MISREPRESENTATION Contest.

MILWAUKEE, Oct 9.-The special COM
mittee appointed by the Republican cen
trail committee to effect settlement of
the Keyes-Hazelton trouble held its final
meeting at Postmaster Payne's Office at
noon to-day. Edward Sanderson, Gen.
Wlnkler and Mr., Payne were present. Gen.
"1nkler submitted report in detail, but
without single recommendation. Hazel
ton and Reyes had both denounced the re-
port, but after discussion it was decided
not to make it public. So letters were
written both, notifying them that no con-
cluslon had been reached. It was agreed
that 1t might do some harm, and it would
be best to suppress the report by holding
1t until the next meeting of the central
committee, which will not take place until
after election.

but when Mr.. Lincoln ran for the second
term, although he was supported by the
army contractors and the vast interests

his power for high ends, and the end al

was elected by the business interests. be-

seemed to be in danger. The banking in
terest put up money to elect Grant, though
he had no great need Of funds to help
him at that time. In 1872 the railroad
and manufacturing interests, apprehensive
OF a financial panic, again contributed
heavily to defeat the coalition between the
democrats and republican liberals, and

Earth and Moon.

DIR. Ball recently gave an interesting
sketch of the action and reaction of the
earth and moon, and the effect of this
upon the length of the day. While the
day, said DR.. Ball, was gradually length
ening. through the moons action on the
tides, the earth reacted on the moon and
drove 1t farther and farther away. The
circle described by the moon was, there
fdnde, gradually lncrt asing, and thus the
ay was gsttIng longer and longer as the
moon was: receding farther and farther.
II they looked back to earlIeer periods, the
moon. must, therefore, have been closer
and closer t3 the earth the farther they
went back. At one epoch, which he put
at about two hundred and fifty million OF
years, the moon must have been veiy close
10 the earth, and then the day, instead OF
being twenty four hours, would only be
three hours long. The closer the moon
was to the earth the more quickly 1t re-
volved; and, looking back to that remote
period, they had the extraordinary state OF
things IN which the earth was spinning
round once IN every three hours. and the
moon rotating once IN three hours also.
At that time the earth was really mass
of semi-molten matter, AMI if the oceans
were at all, they were suspended in yapor
around it. DIR. Ball showed that the
nearer the moon to the earth the greater
was the rise of the tide; and he calculated
that, when the moon was 50 near 10 the
earth, the tide must have been two hun
dred and sixteen times as great as the
present time. Rising two hundred and
forty fret high, the tides would have
washed over the whole of England.

Leaden Comns.

Two or three years ago 1t was our fate
to inspect officially certain vaults In IN
ancient church of much historical interest
that was undergoing repairs. The object
was TO ascertain beyond doubt who had
been buried in three leafen coffins. They
were doubtless great personages. but there
was nothing TO tell US who they were, and
it was expect ed that we might find inscrip-
tions of some kind to throw light on the
subject. The collins, though they had
been originally as strong az lead could
make them, had been entombed from
century to a century and half. Their
condition was lamentable. The lead was
here and there broken into large assures,
through the forcIble explosion of confined
gases, and it was not difficult to distinguish
the contents. All had been embalmed,
according TO the best rules OF art But
the result showed how miserable had been
the effort 10 secure an Imitation of immor-
tallty. The appearance Of the bodies gen.
orally was that of ragged skeletons dipped
in tar, black. horrible and repulsive; The
whole painful satire on the so-called en-
balming system. One of the bodies was
that of q nobleman Of high rank. To
think of a man IN his social position, who
had figured in gorgeous pageants, being
condemned after death, by the over-kiuc
soliclsude of relatives. to fate too revolt
ing for description. Had he been parish
pauper he would have been buried N the
earth, and his body would long since have
moldered into dust, while the exuberant
gases would have been harmlessly waited
avay in The gentle breeZes that serve to
give life to the world Being a nobleman,
he had been, by way OF distinction, laid In
leaden coffin and placed in gloomy
vault, liable to become a piteous spectacle
to future generations. One Of these leaden
collins, more rent IN pieces than the others,
contained a form which was recognized by
medical gentleman present to be the re-
mains Of a yousg female, probably young
lady Of quality in her day, admired for
her beauty and tile splendor of her long
yellow .resses. What fate had been hers.
On touching the head, part of the scalp
came eff, alorg with stream of hair that
doubtless had at one time been the pride
of the wearer. Melancholy sight And
why had the body of this gentle creature
with her flowing tresses been consigned to
a condition that brought 1t under tine gaze
of body of official investigators, more
than a century after dissolution. instead OF
being decorously laid in the dust, there to
sink into the undisturbed rest thai had been
benefcently destined by its Creator? Let
those who maintain the practice Of en-
tombing In leaden collins and vaults answer
the question.

Nantes tations of Fear.

IL is salu tnat the Emperor Charles ",

never snuffed candle with bis fingers, y
1t is certainly somewhat absurd, though q
favorite claim for q popular hero, tha,
''he never knew fear" No one possessing
human nerves and brain could say this
with truth. That brave man never yields
to the emotion may be true enough; but to
ssyt at no period of his life he expert
enced fear is simply impossible. As Lord
Lytton expresses it 4:
at shames man not 70 feel mans msrtal fear
II shames man only if that fear subdue.
There Is a story of young recruit IN
the thirty years war going into action for
the first time an his life IN the highest
spirits. ''Look at Johann, remarked one
of his comrades, as the troops were drawn
up ready 20 charge, ''ne is full of
jokes; how brave he ISL mot at all, 5"
replied the veteran addressed; ''hs knows
nothing of what is coming. You and ],
old comrade, are far braver we still sit
on our horses, though We are terribly
afraid"
Fear certainly is one Of the most .ir-
rational CT the passions. 1t is not always
excited by the presence of danger.
Men who can be cool and collected III
cases of real peril will tremble at some
faucitul alarm. The duke of Schonberg
could face an enemy with ready courage,
but fed from the room if he saw cat in
it. A very brave French officer tainted
at the sight OF a mouse. The author of
the Turkish Spy" states that if he had a
sword in his hand he would rather en-
counter lion in the desert than be alone
in room with spider. Many people
Lave similar fanciful antipathies, which
excite their fears in manner real danger
would be powerless to do. Fear OF in
fectiou is a Gresd that embitters the lives
of many sensible people. There is a
legend of an eastern der wish, who. know
ing that the plague was about TO visit a
certain city, bargained with the disease
that only specified number of victims
should fall. When twice the number
perished, the plague explained its apparent
breach of contract by asserting ''Fear
killed the rest" In all times of epidemics
doctors can tell similar tales. During the
great plague of 1866, an unfortunate
man died purely from fright practical
joker who met him in the street pretended
10 discover the fatal spots" upon him,
and the poor man went home and died,
not of the disease, but Of sheer terror. A
long obituary list might be compiled of
the victims of fear; from the criminal in
tue middle ages, who reprieved after he
had laid his head on the block, was found
to have died ere the axe could touch him,
down to the poor nun mentioned by: Horace
Walrole, whose disreputabie abbess liter
ally frightened her to death" by visiting
her at night and telling her that she was
