BEN Buffers presidential boom has
not made much headway outside the
city limits Of Boston, and its progress in
that city itself has not been what one
would call triumphal. The Democratic
organs of the nsrth have given no en-
enlargement to the little thing what
ever, while in the south it is received
with unseemly jeers and revilingS. Bets
are offered in New Orleans of two to
one, with no takers, that BUTLER will
not secure a single southern delegation
TO the Democratic convention. The
feeling in New Orleans appears To be
shared by the south generally, and it is
doubtful if BUTLER could obtain any
support in that section, even if he
should return the mythical "spoon~.'

NEWSPAPER INFLUENCE.

The New York Tribune says in cir
cular that a number Of manufacturers
have circulated that paper at their own
expense among their employees.
Whatever may be the purpose in the
case of the manufacturers who give
their men the Tribune, there can be no
question but that a good newspaper CO.
ing among the laboring classes makes
not only more intelligent voters, but
more intelligent and competent work
men in all departments Of trade.
The newspaper going TO man regu-
larly, and constantly treating Of public
and practical matters, and teeming
with useful and profitable information
upon all subjects of current interest, is
the most effective way Of educating the
mass OF the adult population of any
community.
1t puts the voter on level with the
leader, and very frequently il is found
that the man who spends his spare
hours in keeping up with events as
they are recorded and commented upon
in his daily or weekly paper, has really
better knowledge of the value of his
vote, a better insight into the philosO-
ply and science of affairs, than the
fiippsnt candidate, who derives his
materials from the same source, but has
a more superficial and casual aequain-
lance with the topics he discusses.
In fact there is no man or class who
DO not read the newspapers but are
left behind by their more knowing
competitors. The merchant who does
not scan the newspaper to see what his
competitor is doing, and who does MOI
tell the public what he is doing through
the advertising columns, will soon GO
out of trade.
The newspaper is every day being
recognized as the greatest engine o.
civilization, essential alike to the pro
gress of tue world aud of the individual
i'm all the walks of life.

OH O!

The Democrats appear Ia have bag
ged the biggest game in Ohio, vester-
day.
The "off years come around more
frequently than usual in that State.
The Republicans appear to be perma-
nently Off
Last year they tried what may be
termed the high moral dodge. The re-
suit was disastrous.
This year they were cOngratulatiug
themselves that the friendly relations
heretofore existing between the grand
old party and the beer-drinkers had
been resumed, and victory, a the re-
suit, would again perch upon the Re-
publican tanners.
But reconciliatiOns DO not reconcile.
The people are suspicious of political
leaders who face forward and back al
ternately between two election days.
The Republicans of Ohio will have to
take to the woods.

A Rousing Majority for snyder.

Huntington Advertiser.
The nomination of Capt. C: P. Snyder, of
Kanawha, as the Democratic candidate for
Congress in the Third district OF West
Virginia will insure the district to the De-
mocracy by rousing majority. While
Capt. Snyder was first choice of a majority
of the convention, as shown by the result
he was also second choice of nearly every
body. He is q self made man and his ac-
quirements are such as TO render him ca
psbie of great usefulness to our State in
the National Councils. His nomination
does not arouse any considerable antago-
nistic element, and it is understood that
Mr.. II. S. Walkers pronounced support OF
him practically unites the Greenback ele-
ment in his favor. This insures him q
walkOver in the election.

Boys Should Let II Severely Alone.

DR.. G. Decaisne has made some in
teresting experiments with view to
determine the effect of tobacco upon
the organs and systems of boys. lie
had in his charge thirty-eight youths
from nine to fifteen years of age, who
were addicted to smoking, and has
made known some Interesting results
concerning his observations. The ex-
tent to which tobacco was used varied.
and the effects were of course unequal
but were very decided in twcnty-seven
cases. With twenty-five of the boys
there was disturbance of the circua.
ton, palpitaiion OF the heart, imperfect
digestion, sluggishness of intellect, and
to some extent craving for alcoholic
stimulants. Twelve patients suffered
from bleeding of the nose; ten had
constant nightmare; four Lad liberated
mouths; and one became a victim OF
consumption. The symptoms were
most marked in the youngest children,
but among those of equal age the b Isl
fed were least affected. eleven boys
stopped smoking, and were cured
within year.
