In private communication, our old friend
John T. Moore assures us that our informant
was mistaken as to the statements in his-Mr.
Moore's -Scioto Township speech. He states
that he said there were 695 paupers receiving
public relif-and not 695 in the Infirmary, re-
ported. We are glad Mr.. Moore denies this state
ment, as we did not like to believe that any
man could so far forget himself-even in a
Democratic speech.

over l., 900 miles long. In the year 1881
was completed the greatest undertaking
of the kind ON the European continent,
the canal of Languedoc, or the canal du
Midi, to connect the Atlantic with the
Mediterranean, its length is 149 miles, it
has more than 100 locks and about fifty
aqueducts, and its highest part is no less
than 600 feet above the sea; it is navig-
able for vessels of upward of 100 tons

great North Holland canal, completed in

thirty-one feet wide at the bottom, and

it extends from Amsterdam to Heider,
fifty-one miles. The Caledonia canal, in
Scotland, has a total length of sixty
miles, including three lakes. The 6ue2
canal is lightweight miles long, Of
which sixty-six miles are actual canal.

Old and NnM WAYS of Conrtshln.

A writer in the Home Journal believes
that the old-fashioned courtship is pass
ing away, and after asking what are to be
the regulations of courtship during the
transitional epoch, answers that nomin-
ally and theoretically the man still does
all the com ting, but really and practical
ly women are taking the matter into their
own hands. Enough of the restraint of
chivalry has remained to prevent them
from openly proposing marriage to the
object of their choice; but there are a
thousand ways in which a lady of tact
may WOO and yet not transcend the
bounds Of etiquette. The present method
is hybrid between the one sided court
ing of knightly days and the custom
which will prevail when women have
their proper position in the perfected So
ciety of tho future.
In word, courtship is now evidently
drifting womanward, by which we mean
that the ladies will constantly take more
and more active part in it., until in the
day when women shall have her rights,
the most important Of which is marriage,
1t will be as common for some women to
offer their hands to men as it is for S&>n
to propose to women. Oh, lucky day for
bashful bachelors.

Bob 1ngersoll tells-in private though
"a good story at his own expense, but
one which we see no reason should not
be enjoyed by the world at large. 1t
seems that while Ingersoll was in Cleve-
land. soon after his successful legal fight
for the Star-Routers, a sort of anti
tobacco crusade had been started in that
city, and well-known Boston scientist
was delivering nightly lectures against
the use of the soothing weed. This
speaker invited others to argue the ques-
lion with him, but, although the smokers
were largely in the majority, the Boston
man invariably proved too clever for the
aebaters brought against him.
Awaiting themselves of Ingersoll's pres
ence, some of his friends begged the great
orator to take up the cudgels in behalf
of the tobacco-users; which he conde-
scended to do, more as joke than for
any serious reason.

and, when the prohibitionist requested
an answer to his arguments, Bob solemn
