MURAr HALsTED's paper gives the fol-
lowing biography of Judge Hoadly, who
runs an excellent chance of succeeding
Charley Foster as governor Of Ohio, un.
der Democratic auspices: The Hon.
George Hoadly is a native Yankee, born
in New Haven, Conn, July 81, 1926.
His father was at n time mayor of that
city, but emigrated west, where George
grew up with the country in Cleveland,
Ohio, and received his elementary educa-
ton. He graduated in the Western
Reserve College, Hudson, o., in 1874.
He read law one year in tho Law
School of Cambridge, Mass, came to Gin
cinnati and entered the law office Of
Chase & Ball in lS46, and was admitted
to the bar August, lS47. In l840 he wa
admitted to partnership in that firm.
He was elected by the legislature in 1861
to the judgeship of the superior court Of
Cincinnati for the residue of the term tc
which that court had been limited by tn,
constitutional convention. He was city
solicitor in 1866 and in 1867 succeeded
Judge Gholson on the bench of the new
superior court. He declined a seat OF
the supreme bench in 1856, offered b,
Governor Chase, and the same honor il
1862, offered by Governor Tod. He wa
reelected to the superior court in 1864
but resigned in 1866 to establish the Law
firm of which he is still the head. II,
was an active, prominent member o
the constitutional convention of 1873.
and devoted eight months of his valuabl,
time to that unfruitful service. Although
a hard worker in his profession, h
has found time to teach law in the la,
school, to serve as trustee in the Cincin
natl university, and in other ways to pro
mote the progress of arts and sciences i
this city. His identification with tn
forthcoming Cincinnati museum and tn
West endowment may be instanced il
proof. He was one of the counsel VIII
successfully resisted the effort to comp,
, the reading of the Bible in the publ
schools. Hoadly originally was a demo
crat, but on account of slavery found Ii
way naturally into the republican, party
with which he remained until the close +,
Grants first term as president Of til
United States. In 1872 he Joined III
liberal republicans and was absorbed int
the democratic ranks, under the banne
!, of reform and the leadership of Tide
|. and Hendricks. He appeared as couns'
! ! in favor Of the Florida and Oregon den
J %ocratic electors in 1877, but since the
!, has devoted himself exclusively to II
duties of his profession.

A Turning Point for 1854.

New York Sun.
If the democrats can carry New York,
New Jersey, and Ohio this year, the re-
suit will be generally regarded as a deci-
sion of the presidential contest in their
favor. If they should also capture Penn
~sylvania, this would end the matter.
What is the outlook for this year in
these four states The New York re-
publicans are trying to compromise their
long standing controversies, but a united
democracy, with a good ticket, would
undoubtedly be successful. The election
of a democratic governor in New Jersey
by a handsome majority is conceded by
candid republicans.
In Ohio the tide is settling in favor OF
the democrats; indeed, with their excel
lent ticket and platform their success is
pretty certain. If Ohio goes democratic
in October, New York and New Jersey
will follow in its wake with large MAORI
ties in November, while the republican,
of Pennsylvania, weakened by dissen-
%sions, may perhaps share the fate of thei1
brethren in Ohio.
Ladies should reflect well before using an.
preparation that is applied tn so delicate q sur

safely said that more than tipO-thiTds of tn

What nnrgerv na.n Do.

The London Laacet, ia publishing its
record OF the progress of medicine IN its
many departments during the last year,
gave some of the more prominent points
connected with surgery. Some OF the
operations seem almost miraculous.
and were +, gardel rs impossible previ-
Gus to actual experiment. No region of
the body is now considered beyond the
scope of surgery. Its most marked tri-
umphs relate TO the internal organs and
cavities.
What has rendered the operations
comparatively safe is the use of antisep-
tics-fluids tnat prevent putrefaction III
the wounds. Hitherto carbolic acid has
been the chief agent used. But this
proved more or less dangerous-sQme-
times fatally So-in other directions.
A much safer and equally effective sub
stitute has been found in what is called
eucaly ptol. which is obtained from the
eucalyptus tree.
Assesses of the liver have been free
~ and successfully cut into and drained.
Large parts of the stomach have been
cut out, including even the pylorus,
which is the more highly organized
part of the stomach that shuts in the
food until digestion is carried to GER
tain extent, and then opens and pours
it into the intestines.
Entrances have been made through
the walls of the stomach for the regular
Introduction of food in cases where the
osophagus (gullet) has been closed by
disease
Two pieces embracing the entire cir
conference, the one about three inches
in length, the other five, have been cut
out from the large intestine-the colon.
In all such cases the divided parts are
brought together and sewed, the stitches
becoming soon absorbed after the heal

Considerable progress has been made
towards ascertaining the exact spot
where the brain and nervous system

The Nashville american presents stats
tics to prove that the mortality of negroes
in the south averages more than double
that of the whites. In attempting to &C
count for the facts the editor says: THE
percentage among negroes was never
known to reach this wide excess previous
to the war The changed conditions of
their mode of life have not only been
hurtful to them, but these conditions seem
to grow no better very fast. They are
neglected in infancy, exposed during the
struggle to maturity, and diseased by
natural consequence from maturity to
death. The negro in the lower classes is
an ignorant and thriftless being He dis
obeys every law of nature, except that one
which compels him to breathe, simply by
not knowing how to obey these laws"
But.in spite of these allegations the race
is increasing, as is shown by the census
returns, and if the mortality is so much
greater the reproduction must be greater
still. The care of negroes in the south is
as yet an unsolved problem, but nature is
doing as much toward its solution as the
laws of government and the practices of
philanthropy.

The Mining Record points out that Ari-
IONA has reached the third place in rank as
a producer of silver, gold. lead and copper.
Last year her product of gold and silver
was valued at nearly 100000 and her
copper at nearly $3,000000. The Tomb
stone district, which produces total value
of more than $4,000, 900, is now next to
Leadville. Not the least encouraging fea
ture of this exhibit is the very large yield
of copper. 1t has long been held by many
of the most experienced mining operators
of the west that when the gold and silver
cease to cause mining excitements. atten-
ton will be more generally directed to the
exhaustless deposits of copper ore
which are known to exist in many
parts of the territories and which
would then naturally become the
more stable and permanent mining proper
ties. At present copper is not generally
sought or worked except where found ex-
tensively combined with silver, the real
object of search. Yet there are copper
ores in Nevada and Idaho so rich that,
mined by the crudest appliances, hauled
in wagons fifty miles 10 the railroad, trans
ported to San Francisco, and thence by
ship around the Horn to Wales for reduc-
ton, they have paid profit, No doubt
these were selected ores, but the day is not
far distant when the yield of copper in the
West will be wonderfully increased. The
exhaustion of the great silver mines of
Nevada tends to direct attention to baser
metals, and the rapid improvement of the
country and increase of transportation ia
cilities make mining every year cheaper.

EVOLUTION IN HAIR PINS.

great temptations to the wind They are
made by machinery and are so cheap that
the poorest women may enjoy the greatest
variety. What becomes of the hair pins
They drop on floors; they get swept up and
lost; they become bent and useless; they
disappear and are replaced, and great fac
tories are employed in making them. In a
