ceramic articles. The glass, terra-cot-

tlcle is covered with film capable of
conducting electricity, by painting the
article with solution of chloride OF
pla tinum or nitrate of silver and burn
ing this in, and then decorating as de-

and the article is afterward covered
electroly tically with the metal. The
galyanic coating does not adhere TO the
enamel, and very varied effects can be
produced by gliding, silvering, color
ing, polishing, platinizing, ETC., the
metallic surfaces of the articles.

PROFESSOR BUpD is of the opinion
that cellars in which fruit is stored be-
tween picking time and the setting in
of winter should be opened at night, in
stead of the daytime. as is usually done.
The reason assigned is that at night the
air is cooler, while the warmer air OF
the daytime has its moisture precipita-
ted by the cool temperature of cellar,
which engenders dampness.

Regarding Mr.. George W. Curtis
reasons for opposing Blaine, this,
from letter written by him to a
gentleman in Pennsylvania, is quite
interesting reading:
''The Independents Of New York
hold the balance of power, and no
man more obnoxious to me than Mr.
Blaine could be nominated for the
Presidency. The principal reason for
this is the strong following he has in
Pennsylvania. The Independents are
anti-protection, and whoever we elect
must he for revenue reform. Neither
Blaine, Arthur nor Logan can carry
New York"
Yes, "the Independents are anti
protection" Like the Democrats,
they are Free Traders. Therefore
they are opposed to any man who is
in favor of protection to American
industries. That is the point upon
which the New York Independents"
and the Democratic party agree.

Greatest Effort of His Life!

The Chillicothe Leader has at last
silenced all criticism. The other
Chillicothe papers must leave it alone.
The last issue has double-leaded edi-
torial in its own defense, in which it
solemnly asserts that false statement
has never been printed in its columns,
and the inference from the article is
that Jugurtha Lackey IS dead, and is
sticking in a gravel bank, that his
brother murdered him, and that the
brother of the missing man, and the
officer who was searching for the miss
ing man told the Leader all Of this.
There was once contest between
some noted liars as to who should pos
sess a certain Jack-knife. After sew
eral had told their touhgest whoppers,
q veteran liar stepped forward and re-
marked, apologetieally: "Well,
friends, this is a new business to me;
I never told lie in my li--"Give

''One of our exchanges sends US a
paper with an excellent portrait of
Buffalo Bill, which it labels Senator
William A. Logan
We find the above in one Of our ex-
changes. The Chillicothe papers, and
other dudes, can now cut off portion
of the beard Of that old cut of Ander-

would be as true as when it was
called Lackey, as no picture of Lackey
had been taken since he came out of
the army.
The above is from the Jackson Stan

tention is to accuse Chillicothe papers
Of publishing bogus pictures of Jack

The Register has made no errors in
that respect. But, we respectfully
invite intention to the discrepancy be-

What do you mean? Do you refer
to the Jackson Standard, or ''some

other time, gave any pictures of
Stevens (Stephens), or any thing that
purported to be his likeness.

Well, no-not to any very great
extent. A man may be honored as a
man, as a member of society, as a
member of church. But to honor a
a man because he is member of the
Democratic party, is something that
reaches beyond the limit of human

In one of the counties Ohio the Democratic coun-
ty convention declared in favor of general Bene-

The Democratic party may appeal to the mercy OF
the people, in that it has starved for twenty-four
years. But it must have gotten used to it in that
time, and can keep it up.
The Democratic party has run too far before jump

The Democratic politicians are oil
ing up their tongues for the cam
paign. As usual they are agonizing
over the deplorable estate of the
working man. The party thrives
upon misery, and a panic or miners
strike is feast for it. And why not?
The snferings Of a panic ale but the
embodiment Of the prevailing idea of
the Democratic party. The party
was born with the stolen wages of
honest laborers in his hands. Ever
since its birth it has been an untiring
advocate of Free Trade and oppres-
sion Of the poor. The leaders Of the
party have sought to maintain their
leadership by appeals to prejudice and
ignorance. 1t has ever seemed to be
the aim Of the Democratic stumper to
first make every man in his audience
feel hungry, then throw into his teeth
that the Republican party was respon-
sible for his poverty, while at the
same time the Democracy stood re-
corded as the advocate ofFree Trade,
and the Republicans were known as
the earnest advocates of Protection to
American Industries. Unfortunately
for the Democracy, the voters in that
party read more than they used to.
They have at last begun to study the
miserable record of the party and
mark its hideousness. And the con-
sequence is, they are deserting the
mob Of scramblers for Office by hun
