The Pipe,

IA pipe! 1t is a great comforter, a
pleasant soother. Blue devils fly before
its honest breath! 1t ripens the brain;
it opens the heart; and the man who
smokes thinks like sage and acts like
Samaritan" So said Lord Lytton,
who may have been right, and may
have been wrong, though judicious
people will have no desire to see smok-
ing made the test of wisdom and virtue.
The ancients did not indulge in the
habit, and appear to have enjoyed them
selves fairly well without the weed,
which Columbus, first of Europeans,
saw the "Crazy Horses and Sitting
Bulls'' of the period indulging in, by
the native North American Indian
name of tobacco. Could some Hellenic
Jean Nicot or Latin Walter Raleigh
have taught the Greeks and Romans
the seductive practice, Alcibiades and
the Athenian dandies would have as
suredly puffed cigarettes, and Horace,
in dressing-gown and slippers, sitting
in an ivory chair, beside his Bandusian
fountain, would have watched the deli
cate blue wreaths curling up against
Cne uaTk DtckSTouuu VI lieA anu HUI
ell from the bowl OF his brier-root; while
Seneca, as much man of the world as
philosopher, would, perhaps, have al
fected only the best brands of Havanas;
and, to 60 back to Greece, Socrates
must have certainly smoked a church
warden. The eye and ear of magma
ton picture the composed sage smiling
at the futile rage of Xantippe between
the deliberately exhaled puffs of his
long, classical "clay." A society with
out tobacco certainly lacked one of the
greatest sedatives of civilization; the
wonder is, how the fathers of poetry
managed to beguile the muses. minus
the help which, according TO Cowper.
.'does more to quicken and refine than
all the breath of all the nine" ."-Lo,,do,,

The Corning Church War.

Last week we noticed the fact that Rev
O'Boylan, of Corning, had been arrested al
the instance of McDevitt, for having a
"Wheel of Fortune at n Church Fair. The
next issue of the Columbus Journal con-
tanned telegram from Corning denouncing
McDevitt as a bad man, murderer, &c.
This article McDevitt understood came from
the Priest, and he followed it in Saturday. s
Journal by q ommunication in which the
character Of the Priest was savagely de-
nounced.
On Sunday Church Meeting was held, At
which the congregation expressed conn
dsnce and pledged support to their Min
lister.

Devitt's place o; business, and wi tn pointed

of thirty men, went to Corning and arrested
twelve Of the mel. engaged in driving Nc
Dewitt away, most of whom failing to Civ G
bond, were put tojail.
The Priest, returning from Columbus was
arrested at New Lexington, but gave bail.
McDevitt started for home, at last advices
armed with repeating rife and supported
by an armed force, declaring his intention
to maintain himself at all hazards.
The feeling is very intense on both sides
but it is hoped that passion and prejudice
will give place to reason, and that no furth-
sr disturbance will ensue.

The BANKERS DAUaHTER.-This
well known society play was present
ed at the Opera House to a large
and fashionable audience. 1t has
some strong points, and its sombre-
ness is relieved by a thread of very
enjoyable comedy. Tie play swas
well presented. Mr.. Farwel' as
''John Strebelow'' played a worry
difficult role with much power.
The old time Utican, Mr.. George
Maddox. as the "Savags French
man. made as good a villain as ev
er. Miss Leece, as,the heroine, sus-
tanned the part worry creditably.
The comedy parts by Miss Erie and
Mr.. Crossen were very enjoyable

were fine. The play was received
with every evidence Of qualification
by the largo audience assemb' ed,
and the curtain was rung up on a
majority of the scencs.-Utica Morn

{ river and canal. lust as thu

man on the hill farm takes
chances on the washing rains
that seam his fields, and tho
drsuth that parches his western
slopes. No injustice is done
those men by preserving the can
al, bat q great wrong weuld
be perpetrated to destroy mill
rights and boat property in order
that few men might be given a
few acres of land they have new
er paid for.
THE BENEFIT OF THE CANAL TO LO-
The repair of the canal at a
cost of ten thousand dollars will
give employment to our indust-
rious laborers and will put not
less than nine thousand dollars
of state money in circulation
among our business men.
The canal gives employment
to at least ten Logan men. Their
labor helps them maintain fam
lilies and support the business
interests of our town. Abandon
tha canal and what will become
of these men. Who has employ
ment for them. They may enter
the shops or engage in daily
work, but they divide with those
not now with constant work, nor
favored with unusual pay. They
will become burthens on society
or they will be compelled to
move away. Can we afford to
drive away one Of our working
mon?
THE CANAL A WATER SUPPLY.
The canal supplies our town
with an inexhaustible supply
of water in case of fire, maintain
ed at the cost the state. Its ad-
vantage is realized in this: The in
suranes companies threatened to
cancel all their fire policies, ia
ken al a reasonable rate, when
the canal supply of water was ap-
parent unless the water supply
was preserved. And our street
commissioner at once proceeded
to "repair the canal at corpora
ton expense" in order to furnish
a pond of water for an emergency.
Without the canal the additional
cost of insurance in this town is
estimated to be not less than five
thousand dollars. This is prac-
tical item, and the cost of aband-
ment in increased insurance
alone, will each year be more
to Logan than the cost of keep
ing up the canal each year to the
state. To maintain water in the
canal as is now done by a dam
near the fair grounds is to create
a stagnant pool, from which we
well may fear the hydra headed
malaria will rise in all its horrid
proportions.
But for a reason still higher,
the canal should be preserved, at
least for time, until men with
interests involved can adjust
their affairs to a future determln-
alton. 1t is the proud boast of
our American Idea that the
strong arm of the government
will lift to protect the rights of
the humblest citizen, and that
all the machinery of the law and
all the forces of the nation will
respond to demand for the pro-
lection of the property Of the
poorest man.
This owner of a canal boat is as
much entitled to the protection
of his propertp as the millionaire
is his palace. His boat may be
his home. 1t may be all he pos
sesses. It is sacred to him, and
the government is in duty bound
to respect his rights and protect
his property.
We think the good sense of the
Legislature, sustained by the
good sense of the people of Lo.
gan and the Hooking Valley will
repair the Hocking canal.

The Columbus Times.
Change Of Management.

The Columbus Times, which
for months past has been a blub
bering, boyish sheet, represent
ing the boys who lost marbles in
a "gams of keeps" has at last
luckily changed hands, and Sim
Donovan comes to the front as
managing editor.
The Democracy Of Ohio have
long felt the need of a paper i'll
Columbus that wonld reflect to
us in the back woods some light
from the original sun. We hear
of Payne and Pendleton papers
at Columbus. We are confident
ly advised that Thurman and
Ewing and Bishop and a host OF
other magnates are interested,
and must be su S t a n & d -
The Democrats of the rural dis
tricts will lend, if they have it to
spare, a dollar or more to any of
the dignitaries Of the Democracy
begging help, should they need
it and ask it.
The Columbus organ of the
party should be a paper for the
party-not for any man.
If Mr.. Donovan conducts his
paper. as we think he will, in the
interests of the Party, letting as
piranfs for Office take care OF
themselves, he will make it a
success.
There is ''long- felt want
among US rural roustabouts in
Capital City papers. We want a
Democratic paper that is tied to
no mans coat tails, and that will
make a party fight, allowing in
all conventions, local, state, OF
national, the even chance for the
best man to win.
If, as We hope, under Donovan.
the Times will be true to Dem
ocracy, we bespeak for it a liber
al patronage in Logan and the
Hooking Valley.
Much might be said about the
Times, the old past Times, but
this would not be pertinent nor
manly.
We suggest that the new man
agement adopt the plan of allow,
