The Scaffold on Which John Brown
Died.

A special to the Chicago Tribune says:
The historic scaffold upon which John
Brown met his death December 16, 1859,
and which was mysteriously spirited
away soon after the execution, has just
been discovered at Charlestown, Jeffer-
son County, in a somewhat singular
place. About three months ago Colonel
John M. Coyle bought from widow.
the brick residence standing on the cor
ner of Lawrence and Liberty streets,
Charlestown, and last week, while
making needed repairs, tore away an
old porch in the rear of the building.
Noticing that each board and timber
bore a peculiar mark and number, he
made an investigation, and to his sur
prise found that when placed together
in proper order the timbers formed q
complete scaffold. Subsequent develop-
ments have proved beyond doub that
the scaffold is the original upon which
John Brown suffered, and the venera-
bic relic has been carefully stored away
under lock and key until it can be set
up in some secure and appropriate
place. The discovery created no little
excitement among the citizens of the
town and county in which the execu-
ton took place.

They Are Intolerable, and She VIII
no Longer Submit to the Outrage.

LONDON, Feb. 29.-The Times leader
this morning says: 1T is intolerable
that we are exposed to this succession
of plots from a nation protesting to be
friendly with us, and with which we
only desire to live in peace and amity.
We know that the Americans are
aware of the identity of the plotters of
these outrages, and it would be no hard
task for the American Government to
end the whole thing. We have done
our part. We have made the private
manufacture of explosives penal
crime. The result is that the conspira-
tors have been compelled to change the
ground of operations, and find in
America a safe refuge and Govern
ment which will not interfere with their
operations.
"It is impossible we shall not submit
to this. The dynamiters are common
enemy, which no civilized country can
tolerate without disgrace. The miscre-
ants have only done what American
journals have been allowed to advocate
for what rewards have been promised,
and for what public meetings have ap-
plauded. The time has arrived to- ad-
dress a strong remonstrance to the Gov
ernment allowing this to be continued.
Respectable Americans are ashamed OF
the inaction of the rulers. They must
now join us, and make their voices
heard and obeyed. We shall do our ut.
most to guard ourselves. 1t remains
for America to aid us, as she alone car
nip the mischief. But our demand il
one that civilized nations are bound not
to disregard"

Hurd On The Scott Law.

In answer to an inquiry from several
liquor dealers in Lucas county as to his
position on the Scott law, Congressman
Hurd has written letter to them, in
which he states his belief that the
Scott law is unconstitutional, and that
the Democratic party is in honor bound
to repeal it, and submit q constitutional
amendment to the people of Ohio pro-
viding for ajudicious license law, which,
in his opinion, is the only correct way
to regulate the traffic. Mr.. Hurd says
that if the Scott law is repealed the
Democratic party can carry Ohio with
any candidate and on any issue.-E'a-
quirer Washington Special.
Mr.. Hurd's opinion, added to those of
Supreme Judge Okey and Governor
Hoadly, as against the constitutionality
of the Scott law, bears with immense
weight against the continuance of that
law on the statute books. These named
gentlemen, in legal learning and logical
brains, are second to no three Supreme
Judges who ever sat ON the Ohio Su-
preme Bench. One of them, Okey,
gave his opinion against the costitution-
atty ofthe law officially from the bench,
and, although the opinion of the others
are only er-pdrte, they are yet given
with full knowledge of the provision
of the Constitution bearing upon the al
legged law, and with due appreciation n
of the exalted positions they occupy
before the public, together with the re-
sponsibilities attached thereto. In their
view, then, of the Constitution as
against the existence of the Scott law,
those persons who are opposed to its
continuance as law would be amply
justified in getting up another case at
once, to be decided by the present Su-
preme Court as to the validity Of the al
legged law, and before the next annual
tax is required to be paid under it, If
possible. Youngstown Ei,atlicator.

Some argue that it is a proper thing
for woman to whistle. We don't
question the propriety of the proceed
ing; it is proper for woman to throw
a stone, or drive a nail, or go fishing, if
she can do the thing gracefully, which
she can do if she only has the confidence
in herself. The truth of the whole mat
ter is that majority of women have
been told, by the sterner sex that they
are not capable of doing anything but
preparing the dinners, sewing on the
buttons, ETC., until she has been made
to believe that she is not fitted for any
thing else, and that is one reason why
SO many of them make such miserable
failures when they have husband and
family to support.

The little babe found in bed at
Five Thousand Dollars a Pound.

In a recent letter to the Atlanta Con-
stit,aion "Bill Arp" says: As gen.
eral thing the girls show too much
anxiety to marry. They are too
sweet on the boys. They ought to
stand off and look reserved and
precious and put on Jerusalem airs and
say, young man you don't know who
you are fooling with. I'm treasure,
l am. l weigh lis pounds and am
worth 81 900 pound. Well, they are.
A good, nice, healthy girl who can make
her own dress and get up good supper
for company and is not ashamed to
wait on the table while they are eating,
is just worth about $1,000, pound.
But that is nothing compared with
what they will be worth. Why, Mrs.
Arp has cut out and made up at
least 9, 900 garments of one sort and an
other. She has sewed 100000 stitches,
and patched and darned and washed
faces and feet and combed hair innum-
cradle. She has tied up 500 sore toes
and cut fingers and burns and bruises
and kissed away thousand tears.
She has watched 'em by night and by
day, and keeps on watching; and right
now, while | am writing on my piazza,
she is looking away up the big road,
and says: "I'm afraid something will
happen to them boys; they are too lit
tie to go out by themselves They are
two little nephews just out of school,
and they and Carl have all got a horse
or colt apiece, and have gone off q
"scursion,n and call 'em the infantry
cavalry and tell Mrs. Arp it is all right
but she sits here sewing with her specks
on and ever and anon she looks up the
road and says: "Those children have
overstayed their time. Pm afraid
something has happened" If they
don't come back soon | know that
will have to start after 'em, for that i.
always the way. Mrs Arp is worth al
least $1,000 pound, and she weighs
right smart and keeps Getting
heavier. l am rich, / am. i fee
wealthy whenever look at her.

1t is not generally known that the
ounce was the golden apple of the
Hesperides and Atlanta, and that the
apple consecrated to Aphrodite and
given as a gift in games Of love, and to
a bride, was also the ounce. The home
of the ounce tree is probably in Per-
sia, and was anciently called the ICY
donean apple" The Greeks obtained
the ounce at very early date from the
country of the Cydoneans, on the island
of Crete. Solon sanctioned the ancient
usage that q bride, before entering the
apple, thereby devoting herself, in a
symbolic manner, the service of Aphro-
dite. In ancient times ounces were
one of the most famous remedies and
were used by physicians in a large num-
ber of preparations. The tree was in
troduced into Germany by the Romans.

Adams Fall.

Ever since Adams fall, which sub
jected human nature to diseases of the
flesh, there has been a demand for q
blood purifier. We all realize the fact
that upon the purity and vitality of the
blood depend the health and vigor OF
the whole system, and that disease of
various kinds is often only sign that
nature is trying to remove the disturb
ing cause; hence reliable blood puri-
fier is of greater importance to the pe0-
pie than is generally supposed. We are
pleased to say that Hoods Sarsaparilla
bears unmistakable proof of being this
sort of q medicine, and we think it wor-
thy trial. feb14-1m

THErich are growing richer and the
poor are growing poorer. The gulf be-
twee the two is becoming wider every
day. The inevitable result of this
tendency is to drive the children of the
poor out of the schools into the work
shops, partly because of inability to
buy school books at extortionate prices
and partly by reasons of the greater
difficulty Of maintaining existence.
1t has heretofore been the boast of
America that the children Of her poor
were as well educated as the children of
the rich. The conditions upon which
this claim is founded as gradully but
surely disappearing. tbs not in the
power of school boards or state legisla-
lures to entirely correct this evil ten
dency, but they can do great deal to
mitigate its results by furnishing school
books free to all the pupils in the public
schools. Penny Press.
