Mayor Of the town Of Clarksb

OFFICIAL returns of the Ohio elect ion
with the exception of one county, have
been received, and with the missing
county reckoned IS it voted last year, it
appears that the total vote cast was
$3.50. TOWNSEND, the head Of the
Republican State ticket, the candidate
against whom the beer and liquor in
terests put forth their most earnest en-
deavors, received /, 249 more votes than
all the Republican candidates for Con-
gress combined. Doesn't this look as
if something besides rum did it? An
other significant fact is that on the
Western Reserve the total vote this
year was about 10000, while in 1881 it
was but $4,000. There was falling OIL
in the Republican vote Of about 700
ard a Democratic gain Of over II 900.

THE annual statement of the appro-
priatiOns of Congress for the fiscal year
has Just been finished at the Treasury
Department. For the fiscal year 1883
covered by the last session OF Congress
the amount is $25l, 42S,1l7. For 1880
the corresponding appropriation was
Sl62, 4O4, 647; for 1881, Sl55, S5O,S4l; for
1882, l79,67S, 800. Among the specific
appropriations included in the total for
next year is Sl16,OOO,OOO for pensions, an
increase over 1882 of nearly S4S, 100000,
and the river and harb paramount, which
exceeds that OF last year by S7,5OO,OOO.
An increase is shown in all the items
for 1888, eqcept for forts and fortitica-
tiOns and for the POstoffice Department.
The average amount of the annual APP
preparations for the ten fiscal years past,
in coin value, was Sl42, 962, 100. The
amount voted for 1883 is, therefore,
nearly SlO9,OOO,OOO above the average.
Isn't it about time for the people to en-
force their demand for economy?

ONE WEEK FRon TOMORROW.

The elections are scarcely less impOr-

for they will in large measure, con-

considers two amendments, one making
the canals free, and the other providing
for the election of additional Supreme
Judges; and Wisconsin determines the
question of amending the State Con-
stitution respecting the residence and
registration of voters, and the election
of county officers, and also by q change
which shall make the general elections
of State and county officers, except
judicial officers, biennial in the even
years after 1881, those who were chosen
in 1881 to hold over until 1885, if the
amendment is adopted.
The members of Congress already
chosen aggregate thirty-two: Maine,
four; Vermont, two; Oregon, one; Ohio,
twenty-one; West Virginia, four. Uuder
the new apportionment, Maine and
Vermont lose one member, while Ohio
and West Virginia each gain one.
AS showing the Importance Of the
November election, if it need to be
demonstrated, the number Of members
of the House to be chosen on that day
is 293, or precisely the whole number
under the old apportionment. The
November States gaining by the read
justment of representation are: Arkan-
sas, one; California, two; Georgia, one;
Illinois, two; Iowa, two; Kansas, four;
Kentucky, one; Massachusetts, one;
Michigan, two; Minnesota, two; Miss

two; New York, one; North Carolina,
one; Pennsylvania, one; South Caro-

Wisconsin, one. The only November
State losing under the appOrtionment is
New Hampshire.

THE VALUE OF FORESTS.

The vast floods which devastate the
Tyrol and other portions of Austria are
due almost exclusively to the destruc-
tion of forests, says the Boston Adver-
tiser. The same experience early in this
century taught France to restore the
forests on many of her mountains, and
the result has been excellent. It is
worth while to remember this in our
own country, where, by the axe and the
saw-mill, we have not only deprived
ourselves of commercial and sanitary
resources, but also exposed vast areas of
hill and mountain land to sterility and
danger, for it is general experience
that territory once but no longer un-
der wood loses the power of absorbing
water with surprising rapidity. Austria
has been so reckless that rainy season
means misery to whole kingdoms which
formerly retained the fertilizing gift Of
the skies. The literature on the subject
is rich, and deserves the attention of our
rising foresters. And we'll may we pause
when single summer ruins the crops of
Bohemia, the villages of the Tyrol, and
the hill farms of Carinthia and Sty1ia,
simply because the forests in the noun
famous districts have been cut down on
uncommercial principles.

Paid to DissembIe.

The affection between stage lovers is
often so we'll acted that no one suspects
the real feeling which exists between
them. A writer, in the New Orleans
Democrat says he knew two actors OF the
opposite sex who positively disliked each
other but were forced by their parts
into the most devotional tender
ness Of conduct. One night as ne
was playing at love she was to rush INTO
his arms; being true artist, she die her
work with energy, and between speeches
he muttered, You need not swallow
me. !" 81 She replied, "You are too bit,
ter q dose" While holding her in fond
embrace, wrapped in delicious transport,
he erowied in whisper, Don't lean SO
! hard against man." With her breast
81 tender repose upon his breast she ex-
claimed, g You are paid for holding me- {,
and I intend you shall earn your salary:

THE NOBILITY OF TRADE,

The perplexities that come within
range of honorable traffic are many and

by the greater immediate facilities for
success which others derive from fraud
ulent pursuit of the same course of oc-
cupation. Destitute OF conscience and
honor, and Indifferent to right principles
and the claims of truth, they can make
false representations without hesitation,
and take advantage of ignorance without
compunction. The habits Of deception
often produce wonderful adroitness and
skill in the management of the deceit.
The alacrity Of the pick-pocket in the
use of the nicely.concealed knife in bis
lingering often renders him more than
match for any vigilance. The skill of
the counterfeiter sometimes almost de-
fics the most practiced power of detec-
tion. And the unprincipled and violent
portion of men seem for season, in
politics, in society, in trade, to triumph
easily over honest and upright men in
their pursuit of place or gain. Tie likli-
hood Of success appears thus to place a
premium upon fraud. The contest be.
tween honesty and knavery amidst the
varied apparent disadvantages which at
tend upon the former, is often for time
Extremely unequal. The honest deale,

and assiduous employment Of his lawfu

"Waking" the Dead in Scotland.
EEr0m Macmi11an,a "a MapnZ:ne1

l feel persuaded that it is one of the
"things not generally known" that
"waking the dead has been practiced
in one Of the northern cotinties Of Scot
land from time immemorial, and is still
in vogue there. When death occurs in
Glen Urquhart, the survivors in the
household are never suffered to be alone
with their dead till the day of the
funeral. The body is not cottined till the
day Of internlent, fol- the simple feasun
that the coffin has to be made by the vii

house with corpse in it becomes for

devious Of ali the neighbols, who sit and
tell stoties-gbUst stories having d de-
cided pteferenceAo ostensibly to keep the
bereaVed ia mi]y from feeling eerie, but
really for tue purpose Of entertainment.
Such gatherings differ from Irish
"wakes" in this particular, that
tobacco and pipes are not provided by
the relatives of the deceased, each at
tender bringing his own supply of these
luxuries; but whisky is supplied by the
family in whose house the wake is held,
and pretty freely dispensed. Such
gatherings are favorite resorts of blush
ing lasses and strapp1ng lads who are
courting, and are often the scene of more
laughter than tears.
The funerals in this locality present
an imposing spectacle, often as many as
hundred men, decently Glad in black
broadcloth. winding in slow procession
through the valley, in the rear of the
bearers who carry the coffin: But here
again we have an illustration of local
variations Of custom; for though it is the
habit to invite all the male inhabitants
of the district, the next-door neighbor of
the deceased would not 60 to the funeral
without receiving a direct invitation;
while over the hills, in the adjoining
Glen. 10 invitations are issued, but
everybody is expected to attend. OF
course, where drink is supplied at the
wake it is not withheld at the burial,
and besides the round served out at the
house there is another often at the
churchyard. Enough drink and bread
and cheese to supply a hundred men is
no light weight, and where the cortege
bas to 90 few miles to the place of in
terment it is usual to send small pony

party. A jar OF whisky invariably form'
part of the contents of the cart, what
ever may be the more solid portion OF
the refreshmeIt provided. The people
are Free Church to man, but they art
not teetotal, and it is nothing out of tht
common, after the grave has been fillet
up, to see an old Free Church eide
standing, possibly on a fiat tombstone
engaged in asking blessing on the re
freshment about to be partaken, with I
bottle OF whisky in one hand and glas
in the other.
