THE LOST CHILD.

The ba'rnie by the cottage door
Had ali the morning played;
The sun shown bright as down the lane
The wee bit baiInie strayed.
He'd go and catch the pretty birds
That sing so clear and sweet;
30 down the lane and through the fields,
Wander the little feet.
And when the sun sinks In the west,
The child Is far from home
And tired, tired are rhe little feet
ION nanny, nanny, comet"
The pretty birds have gone to sleep,
All nature is at rest
An how this weary, wand ring bird
Longs for his cosy nest.
The bright eyes of the night keep watch,
And angels hover ronnd
His grassy bed; oh, weary head,
Its pillow is the groundi
Tho angels spread their snowy wings;
Aud as he sleeping lies,
They bear him to his Fathers home
He wakes In Paradise.
For two long days the mother seeks
-, Her boy, in an ( uish wild;
Three miles away from the cottage door,
A stranger finds the child.
Oh mother dry thy weeping eyes
my bairnie's safe at Home,
And thou shalt see thy boy again
ION NANNY, nanny. come |"

THE OHIO GoVERNoRSH!P.
Judge HOadly Leading I'm the Race for
the Democratic Nomination.

CINCINNATI. April "a gentleman who
is well informed in Ohio politics, says that
thus far the fight for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor is clearly between
Judge Hoady and Judge Gedde7. The lat
ter il so strong in the Methodist Church
that he is certain to have a good deal OF
strength in the convention. In his race
for third term in Congress last fall he re-
Ceived 500 Republican votes in one county
and 900 in another county of his district.
This was because of his attiliation with the
MethodiSts and his supposed strong lean
ing to the temperance cause. In the COM
ing cam paign, however, these characters
tics will weaken him with one class as
much as they will strengthen him with
another, and it is on his effort to ride Two
horses at once that his danger lies. Judge
HOadley's Strength will be two-fold. He
is intellectually the peer OF any man in the
State, and he viii have the support OF the
Pend eton faction, while Judge Geddss
will divide the nti.Pendleton men. The
new liquor tax, which is laid under the
Scott law, is perhaps unconstitutional. Ihe
Pond law, which authorized the licensing
of drinking places, was found to be un-
constitutional, and il is an open question
whether traffic can he taxed that cannot
be licensed. Judge Hoadly was the prin-
cipal attorney for the saloon keepers in
the test case last summer, which re-
suited in the Pond law being be-
clared unconstitutional. He is of the opin-
ion that the Scott law can be broken down
in the same way. A test case will be
brought very soon, and he will be retained
by the saloon keepers. Should the court
declare the law unconstitutional Judge
Hoadly will have attached the liquor
dealers and Germans to his cause and will
get their solid support. His chances, there
fore, are better than those of Judge Geddes,
and they are likely to improve. Tne still
| unit en- the part Of the anti -Pendleton
Democrats who are not satisfied with Gel
des for a candidate will help Hoadly to the
same extent that it weakens Geddes. II
H,sdly goes in it is the understanding that
PenGletOn will go back to the Senate, and
Johu G. Thompson will have the Ohio vote

The Celebrated mudercr OH Trial.


DELAwARE, o., April 27.-The trial OF
l., u Houk for the murder OF Paul A. Lob.
man, in 1873. was called yesterday. Houk,
it will be remembered, Was recently ar
rested in Los Angeles, California, after
eluding the detectives for five years,
brought back here and incarcerated.
The sensational character and wide
spread celebrity Of the case drew large
crowd to the city, and long before the
opening of the Court the room was filled
to its utmost capacity. Shortly after 9
o'clock Judge c. II. McElroy took his seat,
and the Sheriff proclaimed the court in
session. At the same time Hauck's aged
father, accompanied by the brother OF the
prisoner, tottertd into the court room aud
took q seat behind the bar. The prisoner
was soon brought in by deputies, and took
his seat with his counsel.
Were it not for the few white hairs upon
the head of the father, and the lines that
time has left upon his countenance, the
features of the father and son would be al
most identical. Mr.. Houk now resides at
Connersville, Ind about sixty miles from
Cincinnati, and is here to see trial, though
ne Ilull OtllNNSS GAAAh AA'N 10 AAAHNNS'tS -
and is using his means to secure his SCOUT

burn & Ermston, of Cincinnati, and Hon.
T. F.. Powell, OF this city. Major Black
burn is not here. being detained by his
trouble with his female friends In Clncin-
natl. The attorneys for the State are Coun.
" Prosecutor Shoup, f. Z. Poppleton and
j. d. Vandemap, of this city.
The Indictment >
has three counts, all for murder in tho first
degree. The accused expects to be acquit-
ted on a verdict that the shot was fired IN
self.defense, lust before ths court ad-
iourued the wife of Lou HouS, the accused,
arrived from Columbus, accompanied by
Harry Weiman, who is we'll known there
by the name Of "NObby Clark" The meet
ing was very affectionate between them,
kissing each other several times. Mrs. houS <
is 8 lady of pleasing appearance, short anu
slsnderly built, and WIS neatly dressed n
black. She held close conversation with
her husband, and has high hopes OF his ac-
0uittal. John T. Norris, VINO arrived about
the same time, said that his scquaintsnce
with her, formed while he had the pri SON
er in hfs charge, has proved her ID be
lady ip every sense of the word, and most
sf'fCiionate snd devoted wife to HouS.
