Shortly after . o'clock yesterday alter.
noon, Mr.. W. A. Couoway, Of Tiltonville,
Ohio, was in Mayor Mitchell's office, Mar.
tin's Ferry, Ohio, discussing the flood, and
he related the following story to a rcprs.
sentative Of the I~SrELLIeENcER who was
present:
son Thursday, the 7th inst, We were on
the river bank arguing a5 to tho height Of
water required to come over the town Of
Tiltonville. Tho parties taxing part in
tho argument were John Fitzgerald, vii.
liam Chalfant, D. 7. Swan, Schefer Lyons
and james Parker. After come talk in
dulged in by the parties l have named, it
was agreed to take the measurement OF the
water at this time, when it had stopped
rising. l went into my house, got my
spirit level and leveled it on tho bank,
and with schafer Lyons and Jas. Parker
took csreiul measurement OF the water
a. the time, and found that the difference
between the highest water and the level Of
the town to be 6 feet 6 inches; or, in other
words, the town OF Tiltonviiie was above
the highest water OF the flood OF 1854 By 6
feet and G inches."
This story is quite remarkable inasmuch
as the town Of liltonville was supposed to
be on as low ground as any OF the towns
that were flooded. ~.

TO MATILDA AT THIRTY.

His looks, l agree, can't allure you;
He's bald as the palm of your hand
His years fortY-one, assure you;
His igure--inclined to expand.
Time was when such lovers you might have
rejectedi
Time is, when yon'll take him, or linger de-
jected
His pressing, no doubt, will perplex you;
His love Tor the poet is nil;
He'll seem to live only to yeX you,
When once he RECEIVERS his will
No spark of the hero in his composition,
But get him-be thankful and bless your
conditionl
AT breakfast he's sure to be. surly;
Thus heroes are, too, am told,
Converse not when forced to raise early!
IN. Bile won't eat mutton cold)
Rocco and rare are the oaths that he uses
Consider his coffee, and cut the nine Musesl
And when, his brief idyl well over,
Your evenings you have 20 yourself,
You'll say as you SIT there in clover:
Alone yes, but not on the shelf
Good fish in the sea we have all of us seen
them
But few fish that bite, and long way between
them. Life.

The Ten commandments of Rusip ssA

Hon. Eustace G. Fitz, President of
the Boston Board of Trade, delivered
the closing address on the High
School in its relation to Business Life"
at a recent annual meeting of the
Classical High School Teachers. In
educating for business the aim should
be to produce the very highest of the
class, high minded men, who will be an
honor to the community. A graduate
of high school who proposes to adopt
this calling should know how to read,
spell, write and cipher well, something
of history, geography, algebra, gram.
mar, literature and the sciences, and
if he has a knowledge of Latin, all the
better. Specially he should a fair
understanding Of bookkeeping, ex-
change, banking, and such knowledge
of other business matters as can be
given him by abstract teaching. l
hesitate not to say that the demands of
business on our high schools are met
fairly well. II may not be practicable
to have a course of mercantile science,
but doubtless it would be possible to
give more attention TO this subject
than is given at present. In some way
or other pupils ought to be taught the
ten commandments OF business:
1. Thou shalt have no other occupa-
ton before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thyself
laws, for the laws are written and un-
changeable, bit thou Shalt give dill.
gent heed to my eaws, and keep and
obey them.
3. Remember thy promises and keep
them punctuqlly.
4. Six days shalt thou labor and do
all thy work.
5. Thou shalt not speculate.
6. Thou shalt not lie or steal.
T. Thou shalt not be eXtrayagant.
s. Thou shalt not be avaricious.
8. Thou shalt not put rum into thy
mouth to steal away thy brains.
10. Thou shalt covet. Thou shalt
coyet earnestly the best gifts, sagaclty,
prudence, foresight, perseverance,
alertDess, order, accuracy, thorough
ness and whatever is honorable and
above reproach.

Andrew Johnson's Nerve.

A Tennessee man gives me the fol-
lowing story of the bravery of Andrew
johnson:
"Just preceding the war;" said he,
Andrew johnson had many enemies in
Tennessee, and once, when he was
billed for an evening speech at Nash
Vile, the report was spread that if he
dared to speak he would be either
mobbed or egged, and,perhaps assassi-
mated. When the hour Of assembling
came the house was already thronged
and Andy johnson was on the plat
form. He promptly arose, and going
to the front took Il pistol from his
pocket and cooked it. He then opened
the meeting by saying:
Gentlemen and fellow citizens, 1T
is meet that when free men assemble
for the discussion Of important busi-
ness interests everything should he
done deccntly and in order. Now, l
have been informed that n part of the
proceedings ON the present occasion IS
the assassination of the individual
addressing you
"Here he graspcd the pistol firmly
with Bis right hand and threw open
his coat with his left hand and con
tinued
"'I propose that this little matter be
the first business taken up, Ii any
man comes here tonight for that pur-
pose Fat him not speak bat shoot
"At this there was II pause and no
one replied d,
"Ah,' said Mr., Johnson, Il see l
have be en- misinformed. | will pro
eeedwith the meeting.
And concluded my informant,
"there was not a ripple of dissent in
the hail that night. Johnson was
applauded nj every period, and he had
not an enemy present who dared groan
above bis breath."-ffdak Carpenter,
in Qlerei9ad Leader.

THE JONES DIVORCE SUIT.


In the divorce suit of Adelaide A. Jones
against Col. Frank Jones, which was filed last
Tuesday and the papers withdrawn to prevent
publication, THE REPUBLICAN reporter has
been permitted to see the original bill. 1t sets
out that the compliments maiden name was
Dougherty that the parties to the suit were
married in Brooklyn, n. V, by Rev. william
ii. Lewis OH April T. 1856, and that there are
no living children of the marriage. The
charge made, and which the defendant Is
called on to answer, Is "that for two years
Immediately preceding the filing of the petit
ton she was deserted by her husband and left
to support and maintain herself" Mr.. Fred.
W. Jones has been retained as counsel for the
defendant and u proper, answer will be
filed in due time. Col. Jones is well
known in this community, having nj
one time occupied prominent
position in the treasury department and also
taken an active part in promoting athletic
sports in the,distriit, being ut one time pres.
dent ofthd Pptpmtc DqnBelub and also one Of
the first presidents of thc National Base Ball
club when that Organization was one of the
strongest in the country and made the tour
through the west which subsequently aroused
so much enthusiasm In the game. Later by
an unfortunate business partnership, he met
with revcrses that almost financially bank
ruptcd him. This suit springs out of family
differences, there being no scandal of any kind
attached to II, and some of those persons who
know the parties well are strong In the belief
that reconciliation will take place, and in
stead desperation reunion will hc the result.

mand was made for payment, as yet he has

something to help her when she wds sick, aud
she did not know how soon that might be. The

he had no business with them. She thought she

some trouble in securing the girl. "Dis yer

she said. "Dey told me that must get law
