Foraker, when he tried case of
ejectment in Cincinnati, some time
ago, where colored man was turned
out of hotel there, spoke of him as
"a id dirty niger Foraker
doesn't like the ''niggers. ."-Tuscara-
a0as Co. Democrat.
1t is by such stories that the Demo-
Gratis hope to injure Judge Foraker
with the colored voters. The fore
going, however, carries with it it's own
refutation. Judge Foraker is not a
profane man. On the contrary, those
who know him we'll and intimately
will vouch for his standing as con-
sistent Christian gentleman. AS such
he never damned anyone, either white
or colored. Another proof of its
falsity is that none save Democrat
alludes to the black race as "niggers.
Judge Foraker never applied this in
sulting epithet to colored man. As
for his feelings toward the black race,
that is to be determined by the fact
that he fought through four long
years to secure emancipation for the
slaves owned by Democratic taskmas-
ters. The editor Of the Tuscarawas
County Democrat is sneaking liar

Steaming and Bending Wood.

In an address recently delivered by
Mr.. H. G.. Shepard, of New Haven,
Conn, relative to the use Of wood in
carriage making, he said that after a
piece of wood is bent its characters
tics undergo a considerable change.
The wood is heavier, and the fbers
have become interlaced;. it will sus-
tain more pressure and strain than
straight wood in the same directions,
either across or with the grain. He
said: A piece of timber that has been
steamed, whether it is bent or not,
has it's stiffness increased. 1t is more
brittle than it was before, and for
some uses it will do as we'll, and yet
there is quality that the steaming
process and the kiln drying process
affect very much the same; they both
cook the gum in the timber and make
it brittle and stiff. There is a grade
or class Of hickory that is benefited
by being steamed or kiln dried for use
as spokes or whiffietrees. There is
kind of hickory that never becomes
stiff by natural process of drying,
and one Of the desirable qualities of a
spoke, rim, or whiffietree, is stiffness
as well as strength; you take that
hickory-and it is the very best we
have-and steam it, and it is better
fitted for these purposes than it was
before 1t is difficult to tear apart
piece of bent wood; the fbers are
interviewer, one with the other We
do not perceive the change on the
outside, but when we come to split
the stick open we find that its char
acter is entirely changed.

lScientific Americana
Carries its Own Moral.

In one Of our New England cities,
d few days ago, three wretched tramps
were brought before the police court
as vagrants, having been found in an
intoxicated condition in a barn where
they had slept the previous night.
On examination it was found that
each one had been a former resident
of the city, and was we'll known.
One of them had been, only few
years ago, the superintendent of the
foundry department of an extensive
and widely known manufacturing es-
tablishment, receiving yearly salary
Of 50, 800, and having pleasant home
occupied by wife and children, and
being a man once respected and es-
teemed by those who knew him. The
two others had been workmen under
him whom he had discharged for
neglect of their work for drink, and
he himself was finally dismissed for
the same fault.

THE PROHIBITORY AMENDMENT.
Polling the Counties Of a
Large Vote.

There are indications that the vote
at the October election for the sec
ond or prohibitory amendment to the
Constitution will be very large, and
not a few express the belief that it
will carry, Notwithstanding the quasi
opposition of the regular Prohibi-
tionists, who are throwing away the
golden opportunity of their political
lives in their blind adherence to their
party organization. The State is
being thoroughly polled in the inter
est Of the amendment without regard
to party lines, and from what can be
learned, its friends have hopeful indi-
cations that it will carry. Franklin
county is little behind her sister
counties in this movement in point
Of time, but she will no doubt be in
on the home stretch with the rest of
them. A Convention will be held in
this city next Tuesday, composed of
men of all parties, to devise ways and
means for thorough canvass of the
county and dissemination of second
amendment literature.
At the Lancaster camp meeting,
Just closed, fifteen thousand people
assembled at a meeting called to con-
slider the subject, and nine out Of ten
favored the second amendment.
A Jackson county man, in this city
temporarily, imparts the information
that Jackson county has been polled
and shows twelve hundred majority
for the amendment, but the figures
are not at hand. In Vinton county
a joint committee of one Democrat
and one Republican has been ap-
pointed in each township to work up
sentiment and poll the county, and a
plethoric fund has been raised to
employ speakers and make the amend
ment campaign lively.
The Ohio Wesleyan Methodist Con-
ference at Greenville, which closed
last Sunday, adopted resolutions in
dorsing the amendment, and most OF
the Methodist bodies have done the
same thing.
Intelligence from various parts Of
the State is to the effect that the
friends of the amendment are wide
awake and earnestly at work to Sc
cure its adoption by the people mex
October.

Dispatch reporter who had heard il
various quarters persons talking tt
their friends of cure, seemingly lit
tie short of marvellous, that had beer
performed. The plain. facts in the
case referred to, without exaggeration
are these. as they were learned from
the mother of the young man, his
pastor and other persons we'll known
in the community:
"William Lincoln Curtis is the
name of the young man in question.
He is now employed at Ell. K. Porter
& Co.'S locomotive works in Pitts
burgh. Pa. A year ago he resided
with his mother, on Grant street.
About that time he went to bed one
evening with violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought of a
cold. The next morning the shoulder
was greatly swollen, the pain was in
tense, and aches were felt all through
his system. His case was speedily de-
veloped into violent form of chronic
rheumatism, among the first notable
features of which was the paralysis of
his left arm.
He gradually grew worse, and in a
few months the elbow and knee joints,
and both ankles became enormously
enlarged. In March last the cheek
bones began to enlarge, and upon his
left side particularly, spreading his
face out Of all resemblance to his for
mer self. The pain in all his joints
became intense; fever, with it's deter
iorating effects, was now added, and
he became rapidly reduced to the SEM
blance of a skeleton, while vitality
reached its lowest possible condition,
and his sufferings were of such an in
describable character that those who
most loved him sometimes thought it
would be better if he was called away.
At this time physician, we'll known
in Pittsburgh informed his parents
that he was in imminent danger Of
total paralysis, and directly afterward
they announced to his sorrowful
mother that they could give no hopes
of recovery.
The young man finally commenced
taking that wonderful medicine, Pc
RUNA. Almost at once the good ef-
fects were perceptible. In two weeks
quite change, for the better, was
perceptible by all the friends Of the
invalid. In six weeks almost all the
enlargement had been reduced COM
pletely, while in spirits and strength
the patient was quite as we'll as he
had ever been in his life. Nearly
three weeks ago he resumed work as
a machinist at his old place, able to
perform as much labor as ever in his
life.
1.-THE mother of Willie Curtis in
stating all these facts, said: Indeed,
I cannot look upon the cure much
less than as a miracle. [ do not hesi-
tate in sounding the praise Of PERUNA,
and in recommending it to all my
friends. My heart is very full Of
gratitude for my boys recovery was
really like that of one snatched from
the jaws Of DEATH"
The pastor Of the church where
the young man attended Sabbath
school was visited, and he readily con-
frmed the facts of the deformed
bones, the emaciated condition from
disease, and of the doctors having
given him up. The young man en-
tered the minister's house with the re-
porter, and the pastor, who had not
seen him since his recovery, was
greatly surprised at his improved con-
dition. Said he, ''if he had not spo-
ken, would not have known him."

HOW THEY Do 1T.
The Manner in Which Newspapers Obtain
their Most Interesting Reading-An
Excellent Illustration oft.

Few positions in journalism are so
i'm portant to good newspaper, and
yet so easily filled as that of the lex
change editor To those that are
unsophisticated into the workings of
large newspaper, it may be stated
that the exchange" editor is a man
who uses the scissors and paste-pot.
All newspapers of metropolitan pre-
tentions have exchange lists of hun
dreds of papers. They send their pa
per to all the leading journals in the
country, besides to number of eoun-
try papers in the Immediate vicinity.
Every one of these papers are read by
the exchange editor, and if he finds
something novel and interesting, he
cuts it and credits to the paper from
which it is taken. When he gets a
number Of these clippings, he hands
them to the managing editor to make
selection from. The latter chooses
the most interesting Of them, and
those are published in the paper upon
the following day.
Some newspapers use more clippings
than others. In a large city. like
New York, where interesting news is
plenty, few are needed, as the columns
are we'll crowded without them. In
Cincinnati, st. Louis and cities further
west, the papers will be found well
filled with them, and there is no mis-
take but that they make mighty good
reading.
For instance, the following enter,
tanning story, WAiQh is from the Pitts
Durgh4 Dispatch. a journal which j
extensively copied. has been going th'
rounds Of the newspapers:

tual case of recovery, where hope hat
