EDITORIAL SMALL SHOT.

If THE scribendi, not the loquendi, be
really the test of talent, as Henry Clay Dean,
the Sage of Rebel Cove, would have US be-
lieve, We should relegate stump speaking to
the barbarians and require our candidates for
office to write out their ideas. But what con-
sternation the inaugurating Of such practice
would effect among the chronic ofhce-seekers!
ONE of the most serious defects in the man
agement of our local theatres is the failure to
provide means for heating the buildings.
Audiences are expected to pay literally TO
witness performance and then not complain
because they shiver from its beginning till its
end Last night in Turner hall men sat with
overcoats buttoned up to their chins and ladies
drew their furs about them, while their teeth
chartered and their noses turned blue. Means
of artificial warmth was to be had only on
extra payment, and all who procured it were
compelled to exhale an odor about which there
was an unpleasant suggestiveness.
AN IDEA strayed in smong the city council
the other day. 1t was not very great one
but still it was an idea, and its unexpected
arrival must have created CONSERVATION. 1t
elided around the assemblage for while and
then accidentally entered members mind
The member awoke from his lethargy with
start and frighten ID his fellows by informing
them Of his misfortune. They sympathized
with him as he had with them on previous
occasions. and attempted to relieve him of his
burden and bear it jointly, but he declined
their offer and determined to wrestle with it
unaided. He was probably unequal to the
task. The idea may have been slippery or
his gigantic intellect preoccupied with more
engrossing subjects. At any rate it was not
productive of any beneficial result. The idea
was to devise plan whereby pauPers and in
sane persons may be properly cared for. What
has become of 1t !
WHILE the increase in the population of the
United States during the last ten years has

LIFE OF THE SOUL.

Faith in Immortality is decaying. 1t is
dwindling because of neglect of that con-
slant cultivation of it once brought about by
the doctrinal control and stern supervision of
the church. People do not now as formerly
live for Immortality, but for. the material
pleasures Of this world. Ambition is regnant;
not the ambition for rewards after death, but
for the selfish power and Injuries attAinable
on earth. Christendom lives no longer in
sacrifices and aspirations, but in the cares of
business and in amusements. Even houses of
worship are become in some instances mere
places for pleasure, where good singing may
be heard, dull or interesting sermons criti-
ciSed, fashions observed, friends met, wit dis
played and an hour or so spent decorously.
These may be saddening reflections, neverthe-
less they are true. Trace the cause to what
you will, the growth of desire for investiga-
ton, the dissemination of knowledge, the in
crease of Mammon worship, the disturbed con-
ditions of peoples, the facts remain the same.
How is this tendency from religion to be over
come? The most learned philosophers of the
Christian church have admitted they cannot
tell Yet there is hypothesis by which we
may not only account for the decay Of. faith
but promise to recover the loss. We are now
awaking from persecution inflicted on us for
a century or more by bigoted zealots who liR-
tied our social intercourse, passed unjust and
sumptuary laws for our guidance, and ruled
as with rod of iron, all FOX the glory of God
and the advancement of man. We have seen
the error of all this and determined to be
free. In our own zeal it may be that we have
gone too far; like the oscillations of pendu-
lum a mean OF the distance travelled is never
struck till the full force is spent. If so faith
will reassert itself to the extent which shall be
beneficial in the greatest degree. As abhor-
renee of naturalism, so called, gave birth to
estheticism so may the bigotry of the church
by its evil effects have induced a considera.

opponents, and as between naturaliSm and es.

The case of the contest of the late Sam
uel Gilliland's will, occupied the Court
and jury from Monday until ten o'clock
on Thursday night. Samuel Gilliland
was a wealthy farmer residing in Jeffer-
son township. His health was failing,
and he had consumption, or some other
lung trouble, and he took good deal of
whisky and rock candy, to strengthen his
system, and he was a constant smoker.
He made will some six months before
his death, devising most of his property
to his wife and his son John. The other
sons and daughters claimed that his mind
was enfeebled by disease and the stimu-
lants he was using and that undue influ-
ence was eXerted by his wife and John.
There were many witnesses, and the case
was ably contested by Moore, Atkinson
and Bannon for plaintiffs, and by Irvine
DUNCAN and Hutchins for defense. The
jury returned a verdict sustaining the
will.
On Monday morning the Judge passed
sentence upon Colley, who had been
found guilty of shooting Edward Whit
with intent to wound. This occurred at
Gallia Station. 1t will be remembered
that Dr. Warren and others testified that
Colley was drunk at the time. Three
years at hand labor in the penitentiary.
A rather costly drunk.

A Happy Social Event!

Rev. w. D. Cherington, of M. E. Church, was
| absent during last week, visiting friends and
relatives in Delaware and Columbus. His par
| fshioners here conceived the happy idea of get
| ting up surprise party for him on his return,
on Monday of this week. He had intended
coming home on Saturday last, but the official
board sent him permission to remain over Sum
day.
The arrangements for the party, though has
tily made, were successfully carried out, in ev-
cry respect. On Monday ,.fternoon, at 3 O'Clock,
Mr.. Cherington and family, with his two BROTH
ers and their families-except the wife of one of
them-were met at the depot by Mr.; o. S. Mil
Ter, who escorted them TO the Gibson House
bus, and proceeded directly TO the parsonage.
This was an unusual proceeding. as Mr.. c. usu-
ally takes tea with some of his friends, on O re-
turn in the evening. But still he suspected
nothing, until he came in sight of the parson-
age, where he espied his Sabbath School class
composed of young men-drawn up in line, in
the yard. Then he knew he was in for sur
prise party.
AS Mr.. G. came in at the gate, Mr.. Williams,
the photographer, addressed him in a neat
speech, on behalf of the class, presenting him
with a splendid gold pen, an ink-stand, and
other writing materials. After Misunderstanding
with the young men the party entered the
house, which was literally packed with people.
Most of the visitors remained until supper
time, those who left returning for supper.
About six o'clock, a stand was placed in the
yard, and upon this stand was placed some tan
gible tokens of the love the people of Jackson,
bear to Mr.. and Mrs. Cherington.
Judge Longbon was appointed orator of the
occasion, and splendidly did he perform his
part. He presented Mrs. Cherington with a
beautiful silk dress pattern, valued at $50,
wholesale rates. There were other presents for
Mrs. G., all of which the Judge presented, in his
happiest vein. He then turned to Mr.. G. and
deplored the fact that there dress for
him-"not even a coat'-but presented him
with certificate of deposit for $50. Also, a lit
tie poem, hastily written for the occasion, by
]. II. Mackley, of this office, and neatly framed.
AT the request OF several friends, we insert this
little poem here:

At the intersection of Pearl and Columbia
streets resides widow lady, frail, delicate lit
tie woman, who works day in and day out to
support herself and children. On last Thurs
day morning-so we are informed by an eye
witness-her father-in-law, large, stout man,
came to her house and attempted to take from
her the rocking cha ir which she used as sew
ing chair. She objecte d, and disgraceful row
ensued, the man taking away the chair by
force, and-so the poor woman says-striking
her with his fist. He then took the chair and
pranced up and down in front of the house, tell
ing the neighbors that she would not support
him." or words to that effect. What a grand
glorious place that would have been for stout
man to have waltzed in with cow-hide! Wha
golden opportunity to use the old gentleman'
| coat tail for awning for No. boot We woult
that this man could successfully deny this, bu
the story comes pretty straight-even from per
| sons who were present and saw it.

Mother Stewart delivered a powerful dis
course on temperance at the M. E. Church, on
Sunday evening. The house was filled, with as
fine an audience, perhaps, as ever congregated
in Jackson. Mother Stewart vividly portrayed
some of the horrors of intemperance, and held
up to ridicule the scoundreIly attempts of the
doggery-keepers and their defenders to get men
to vote for both propositions. It was a grand
speech, by grand woman. The audience was
in full sympathy with the speaker, and when
Mother Stewart called for all the ladies who
were in favor of taxing, or Restricting" the
liquor business, to hold up hand, not a hand
in all that vast concourse went up.

On Tuesday of last week, Mrs. Harmon Bum
entertained a number of friends, among whom
were Mrs. j. H. Mackley and Mrs. w. T. Price,
of Jackson. There were present, besides the
two named, Mrs. Peter Bum, Mrs.W. H. Steele,
Mrs. f. Swanson, and Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Har-
barger. The ladies from town report grandly
enjoyable time Mr.. Bum was called away on
business, and this doubtless detracted from the
enjoyment, for there is always fun where Har-
mon is. Another gloomy feature was the fact
that Harbarger was in the hands of his physi-
clan, and could not enjoy himselt-especially
at meal-time. But the rest of them all did en-
joy themselves, and George did the best he
could. It was happy day all around. The Ia
dies brought home some silk made by worms
owned by Mrs. Bum. 1t is the color of "old
gold.''

Squire William Cutter called at this office on
Friday morning. Mr.. Cutter described an odd
looking cavalcade which he met on the road
There was a shabby-looking man, carrying a
great staff, and leading brown bear; following
him was another man leading another bear !;
next was half-clad female leading scrawny
horse which was dragging a cart covered with
old canvass and rags This cart seemed to be
pretty well filled with children next came
another woman leading q diminutive pony.
upon which was piled an immense load of
camp equipage. Mr.. Cutters horse took fright
] at this novel procession, and no wonder. This
novel troupe gave some kind of q show in Ber-
| lin on Thursday night. After the exhibition
| and along late in the night crowd of ruflians
attacked the party, making indecent proposals
| to the women, who screamed and raised such
| an uproar that the men were enabled to scare
the dirty dogs away. Had these showmen sue
ceeded in wlping these brutes from the face OF
the earth; it would not have curtailed the
! respectability of Milton Township in the least

w. A. Walden and wife left on Wednesday of
last week for Richmond, Virginia. Last Satur-
day week he and a number of his friends went
down to Canter Caves, and had pleasant time.
He wanted us to go, but being troubled with
vertigo this spring. we had to decline. On Tues
day of last week he invited us to go to his mo-
theirs, two miles out the Chillicothe road,
to dinner, but again we he had to decline. Mrs.
Mackley went, and they had very pleasant
time, and went down to supper to Mr.. w. w.
Pierce's.
