Below was the cleaned cotton "a downy mass-and in the case the manufactured cloth of various degrees of excellsnre. Of course, with their hand-looms and rude machinery the best results cannot be obtained. In one room, as if to show the people the possibilities ot cotton manufacture were exquisite samples of foreign goods at the side of their coarsex ones. There were many rugs of beautiful design and color, but as they were of cotton their beauty is of short duration.

ExDuIsiOn of Rats.

A writer in Chambers Journal re-
lates his experience in ridding his
house of rats. He first tried the we'll
known remedy Of pouring tar into the
entrance of their holes and also Of
placing broken glass by their holes
but neither remedy did he find effect
i've. But bound to get rid Of the rat
nuisance, if such thing was possible,
he tried another we'll known remedy,
which proved more satisfactory. He
caught couple of large rats in a trap
alive, and then besmeared them all
over, except their heads, with tar, and
let them loose in their favorite run.
But he says: | could not follow these
two tar-besmeared rats into their nu-
merous runs to see what would hap
pen; but it is reasonable to assume
that they either summoned together
all the members Of their community,
and by their crestfallen appearance
gave their comrades silent Indications
of the misfortunes which had so sud-
denly befallen them, or that they
frightened their brethren away, for
they one and all forsook the plat e
and fled. The experiment was en-
inently successful. From that day, in
1875, till now, 1888, my house, an
cient though it is, has been entirely
free from rats, and [ believe there is
no remedy equal to this one.-Scien-

ssLike Hot CakeS.v

The above is an old-time expression
and is nearly as "old as the hills" but
yet it is occasionally brought into
good use, and placed in a position
where it counts and adds great weight
to the words accompanying it. This
is true in the following testimonial
sent to DR.. S. B. Hartman & Co., by
Messrs Harrett 4 Son, druggists, Of
Greenfield, Ohio, who say:
"Send us some more advertising
matter. Your medicine is selling like
hot cakes. Send us good supply, for
we need it badly"
Those men know when they handle
a good thing. Judging from the
above, PERUNA and MANALIN must
be in good demand in that country.

The Old Soldier.

The very name ''old soldier" always
arouses many pleasant, as we'll as
some sad recollections, in. the minds
of those, who, IN the dark days long
ago, stood at the front and shot les
sons of loyalty and righteousness into
the hordes Of rebel traitors who were
attacking the life Of the Nation.
The old soldier is always an object
of admiration by the fact Of his hav-
ing been an old soldier, and by the
fact that, had it not been for him,
slavery would even now have been
fastened upon this country, and the
men who now step into lucrative Of
fees, would have had very hard
time of it, with none of the outspok-
en- freedom which now attaches to
political experience.
We overheard an old soldier remark,
on the street, the other night, that
''an old soldier is nothing more than
dog. When he was killed he was
soon forgotten, as it was to be expect
ed that he should die for his country
die that those who came after him
mi ght reap the benefit Of his sacri-
fee" There was sadness in the
tones, as he spoke, but we think our
old friend was wrong. Even while
he was speaking, arrangements were
being made for strewing, with May
flowers, the graves Of soldiers who are
buried in this place All over the
country this beautiful custom is OBJ
served. And it is fitting! 1t is
through the service of the old soldier
that the present generation are ena-
bled to cultivate, and pluck, the May
flowers, in peace-that peace, and
prosperity, and education, and Chris
tianity exist in place of heated race
prejudice and internal warfare-that
the baying of the bloodhound is sup
planted by the carol of the song-bird
that the ignorance and consequent
vicious habits Of race of people has
been supplanted by enlightenment
aud prosperity. To an old soldier
who died, his work is grander mon
ument than marble or bronze; to the
old soldier living, his own conscious
ness of dangerous duty performed, is
ample reward, while his Honorable
Discharge" is badge of honor. Man
can scarcely estimate, or comprehend,
the magnitude of the glory of the work
of the old soldier, and the man, or
woman, or child, who does not admire
the old soldier for the service he has
performed, is unworthy the name of
American. The honor Of the OLD
SOLDIER will meyer fade. His life is
a part Of the history Of the country,
and is imperishable.

LOCKING THE FARM HOUSE DOOR!

Dear wife, we've dwelt beneath this roof many
weary year,
Though summers suns, and winters storms, with
little thought of fear;
For Peace has spread her spoless wings above each
bush and tree,
And meath their shadowy folds we've found air of
purity;
We've kept the latch-sring out, for strangers,
heretofore
But the time has come, dear wife, when must bolt
the farm house door.
For, rapidly, the world grows worse, deny the fact
who can?
realized this horrid truth in my poor lfes short
span;
Mans evil passions gain the swayal noble impulse
fails
To gain the love human art prevails
We who have held the Christians trust must hold
that trust more
A of safety bids lock humble farmhouse
door.
Our Churches and our Sabbath Schools are teaching
Christian ways,
And frequently we hear ascend the solemn song OF
praise,
We lift hearts In thankfulness and bid the work
"God Speed,'
But many there be who never will the righteous les
sons heed;
'Tis these who make us feel we have never done
before
'Tis these who make bolt our little farm
house door.
They tell us money is the root of evil and of sin
That will use the darkest means rake the dol
lars in;
And though know depravity does not consume the
race,
confess that there is still great lack of Chris
tian grace;
And, since bad men would kill us, to get little
store
OF worldly wealth, have great need to lock our
farmhouse door.
Murder is desolating homes, the earth is drenched
with blood
Man seems seek again the place he held before the
flood;
Yet through this dark distress and fear bright shines
the star of hope
1t bids keep watchful eye and strong and ready
rope!
And by its may at last blessed peace restore
But nightly let have to lock the farm house,
door.
We feel that Christian faith is strong to bear our
poor hearts through
But we must worship God, dear wife, and fight the
Devil too;
Eternal vigilance must be the rule of every life,
And prayer, and faith, must must lift up beyond
all worldly strife;
implore,
To guard against the Evil One We'll lock the farm
house door.

We feel that we are doing the public
a favor in calling their attention par
ticulary to Hoods Sarsaparilla. This
is not patent medicine, but proprie-
tary article, possessing real curative
properties, and it's effects upon the
Blood are very positive. Spring De-
bility, Biliousness, Dyspepsia and all
troubles caused by impure blood readi-
ly yield to this excellent medicine
We think those who give it trial for
that ''out Of sorts" feeling from which
so many suffer and which is peculiar
to this season, will be quite satisfied
with the results.

"The Democrats of Ohio have be-
come about as ''black" as the Repub-
licans. Here is one of their civil
rights law, which passed the House
last week:
"That all persons within the juris-
diction Of said State shall be entitled
to the full and equal enjoyment Of
the accommodations, advantages, IA
cilities and privileges Of inns, restaur-
ants, eating-houses, barber-shops, pub
lie conveyances on land or water, the
atres and all other places of public
accommodation and amusement, sub
iect only to the condition and limita-
tions established by law and applica-
BILE alike to all citizens" d"
Well do we remember the Congress
sional canvass between FL. S. Bundy
and Col. Vance, in which this very is
sue was raised. Mr.. Bundy advocated
the civil rights of the colored man,
Col. Vance opposed them. Mr.. Bun
dy was, assailed and charged with
wanting to bring the NEGRO upon an
equality with the white man." and
the prejudice Of the white race was
appealed to, to "saye our daughters
from marrying negro husbands" All
the vile stuff Of the old slavery days
was brought into play, and Mr.. Bun
dy was slaughtered because of his ad-
vocacy of civil rights for the negro.
Now all this is changed. Time has
brought its recompense. The Demo-
cratic party of Ohio enacts civil
rights law, placing whites and blacks
upon a perfect and complete equality
before the law. What a marvellous
change is this? It is the wonder of
the age. A negro as good as Demo-
crat. Well !! Well J! What

The Southern papers are bowling
for a congressional Committee to
go Cincinnati and investigate the out
RACES Of the great riot. Well, let's
see how much consolation that would
be to Democrats. Hamilton County
is under Democratic rule, and we'll
guarantee that, were the murderers in
the Cincinnati Jail were polled, there
would be an astonishing preponder-
ance of Democrats found among
them. Of course, crime is not con-
fined within the limits Of either par
ty, but our experience in inquiring
into the politics of muderers
is that at least nine tenths of them
are Democrats. 1t just happens so.

JACKSON OHIO, THURSDAY, APRIL TO- 1884.

The recent troubles in Cincinnati
recall to our mind mob Of smaller
dimensions which we witnessed in
Cincinnati in 1868. Our company of
sharp-shooters, with two companies
of the115th Ohio and two pieces of
Regular artillery-12-pound Napol-
con guns-were quartered on Abigail
Street. 1t was during the Vallandig-
ham campaign, and all shouting for
candidates was forbidden, on account
of the excitement.
Down ON Main Street, great bur-
ly fellow yelled for Valandigham,
when a policeman seized him and
started for the station-house with
him. Within ten minutes there we re
hundreds soon afterwards thou
sands-of excited men following the
officers who came to the assistance of
their comrade. The prisoner was
safely locked up, but the excited V al
landighammers packed the streets,
striking and insulting people on the
streets. The police were powerless,
and orders were issued to the military
to quell what had now reached the d.
mensions Of riot. Men were crazy
with liquor or wild with excitement,
and all on Abigail Street, was one
surging, bowling, swearing mass.
Lieutenant-C Colonel Boone, of the
115th, ordered the two cannon placed
SO as to rake Abigail Street. with the
two companies Of Infantry placed as
support Of the guns. Our company,
armed with Spencer 7-shooters, was
held in the barracks until their pres
ence should become necessary. When
these arrangements were completed,
Col Boone rode out into the street
and gave the crowd fifteen minutes in
which to diperse.
After surveying the ugly-looking
mouths Of the cannon, and the glis-
tening bayonets Of the soldiers, the
great mass began to scatter. At the
end of fifteen minutes, the time was
extended to thirty minutes, by which
time the street was cleared. And it
was we'll for all concerned that it was

1t was early, and my little boy and [
were alone in the house at the time.
The gentleman gave me a sovereign,
and had to go up stairs to my cash
box. Before doing so, l went into
the little room next to the shop and
said to my boy: Watch the gentle

and l put him on the counter. As
