Yesterday the eyes Of the nation we're
on Ohio. During last night the returns
we're listened to with feverish anxiety
until it became apparent that the repub- |
licans we're steadily gaining as the count
was reported from the several precincts.
After that all interest was centered in
the size of the republican majority. At
the present writing, with little more
than one third the state heard from. the
indications are that the republicans
have carried the state by majority of
from $4,000 to 10000. If the increasing
ratio of republican gains continues the
final figures will exceed the maximum
claimed.
Ohio voted on secretary of state, q
supreme judge and member of the
board of public works. The results
given apply to secretary of state. John
W. Newman, the present democratic Sec
retary of state, was the democratic
candidate and General ]. 8.

elected by democratic majority of over
$4,000, and last year the democratic
governor of Ohio received majority of
over 1880. Yesterdays election returns
are based upon the vote of 1888, and the
republican party had a democratic ma.
jority of 1850 to overcome betoresit
could commence accumulating ma
jorlty of its own. To wipe out this ma.
jority it must gain IN average
of seven votes in each OF
the 1892, wards and precincts. So far as
reported it has gained ON average Of
fifteen votes in each precinct. with 1882
precincts to hear from. But the 760 pre-.
clncts reported include some Of the
heaviest democratic sections, go there il
reason to feel that the majority will &c

! The contest in Ohio was enc of the

The German Sense of Duty.

In an address in England Professor
Tyndall remarked that duty had been
his motive force. He said:
In Germany one heard this word
much more frequently than the word
glory. The philosophers of Germany
are OF the 1oftiest moral tone. In fact,
they are preachers of religion as much
as expound ers of philosophy. 1t would,
to certain extent, be true to say that
from them the land takes its moral col
or; but it should be added that the
German philosophers are themselves
products of the German soil, probably
deriving the basis of their moral quail
ties from a period anterior to their phi
losophy / asked two Prussian officers
whom met in the summer of 1871, at
Fontresina, how the German troops be-
haved when going into battle-did they
cheer and encourage each other? The
reply received was: Never in our
experience has the cry, 'Wir mussen
siegen-we must conquer been heard
from German soldiers; but in a hun
bred instances we have heard them res
oIutely exclaim, 'Wir mussen unsere
Pfict thun-we must do our duty.
1t was sense of duty rather than love
of glory that strengthened those men
and filled them with an invincible her.
oism. We in England have always
liked the iron ring of the word duty. y
1t was Nelson's talisman at Trafalgar.
It was the guiding star of Wellington.

Woodlands and Health.
Boston Advertiser.


Upon the hills of western Massachu-
sets are thousands of acres of land
which, when first cleared, was sufficient
" productive but the soil, no longer
held together by the roots of the trees,
has had its lighter and richer portions
washed out year by year, until its best
elements have found their way into the
valleys, leaving the hill farms sterile
and nearly worthless. The change is
evidenced by the ruined houses and
half obliterated cellars, which are sad
" abundant on the hills, indicating a
population and prosperity in former
times which would now be impossible.
In the vicinity of Boston, within my re.
collection, many fine tracts of wood.
land have been cut down for frewood,
leaving barren, rocky hills looking des-
olate enough without their once beauti-
full covering. If those sterile hills, all
over the state, could be planted with
the best varieties of forest trees, and
properly cared for, the value of adjacent
lands would be enhanced, our streams
would flow with greater regularity
freshest and low water would both be
less common, the climate would be tenn
pered, the extreme of heat and cold be-
ing less marked and winds less violent,
the rainfall would be more copious and
regular, malaria would lose its foothold,
while everygrove would be sanitarium
for the weary denizens of the city and
town

captured the vote of backwoods set.

first ran for Congress. He said he had
never been in that settlement and didn't
know the boys He rode over the
mountains and found about sixty sover-
eigns at cross roads grocery and he
got down and hitched his horse and be-
gan to make their acquaintance and
crack his Jokes around, and thought he
was getting along pretty we'll with them,
hut he noticed an old man with shaggy
eyebrows and big brass spectacles
sitting on chunk and marking in
the sand with a stick. The old man
didn't seem to pay and attention to
Vance, and after a while Vance con-
cluded that the old man was bellwether
of the flock and that it was necessary
to capture him, so he sided up close to
him and the old man got up and shook
himself and leaned forward on his
stick and said solemnly: "This is Mr..
Vance, | believer" "Yes, sir" said
Vanae. "And you have come over
here to see my boys about their votes,
| believer" Eyes, sir" said Vance,
''that is my business"
"Well, sir" said the old man. "afore
you proceed with that business [ would
like to ak you few questions"

Vance.
"What church mout you belong to 2"

didn't belong to any church. He knew
that religion and meeting was a big
thing in the backwoods and controlled
their politics. but he didn't know what
their religion was, for North Carolina
was powerfully spotted. But he squared
himself for the responsibility and says
he well now, my friend, will tell
you about that, for it is fair question.
OF course it is. Well, you see my
grandfather came from Scotland, and
YOU know that over in Scotland every
body is Presbyterian. Here he paused
to note the effect, but saw no sign of
sympathy with his grandpa.
But my grandmother came from
England and over there everybody be-
longs to the Episcopal church" He
paused again and the OLD man marked
another mark in the sand and spit hIs
tobacco away of.
But my father was born in this coun-
try in a Methodist settlement, and so he
grew up Methodist" Still no sign of
approval from the old man, and SO
Vance took his last shot and said: "But
my good old mother was Baptist, and
it's my opinion that a man has got to
go under water to go to heaven"
The old man walked up and taking
him by the hand said: well, you are
all right, Mr.. Vance. and then turning
to the crowd said: "Boys, he'll do and
you may vote for him, / thought he
looked like Baptist. And the old
man slowly drew flask from his coat
tail and handed it to Vance to seal his
faith

A When the Cows Come Home.

Henry W. Grady in the Atlanta Constitution.
Every afternoon [ go down to see the
COWS come home. From the meadow
to the milking they come in rambling
haste. Way down the shady lane puff
of dirt arises. The cloud deepens I'M
til the view is closed. "The cows are
coming" calls some one. From the
rolling dust energies the horns, the
head, the TANKS of Jersey. One after
another the cloud gives them forth, en-
bodying rapidly until the herd stands
revealed. Up the lane they come troop
ing, the dust cloud hanging after their
TANKS and still enveloping the centaur
who speaks from the unseen with his
pistol-like whip and hurries them on.
A charming sight it is Tudora, state
" queen of the herd, leads the way.
With uplifted and swinging pace she
wheels into the wide gate, the aroma of
the clover hanging all about her and
the peace of the meadow beaming
in her eyes. After the herd-Jerseys
all and every one a jewel pressing in
slow tumult through the gate, bringing
in their rich udders the essence of the
rifled pastures. as honey bees bring
home the stolen sweets of the flowers.
Once in the open lot the herd disperses
and each COW wends her way to her es-
pecial stall.
Then begins the milking. Osceola,
a colored man of great dignity and re-
serve, with his hair done up in cotton
string curl papers, is IN charge OF the
herd. For fourteen years he has been
trusted and found worthy. He has his
assistants, who place the huge milk cans,
each with its strainer. at convenient in
tervals through the barn. The assist
ants then with cans of clear water wash
the dusty udders and respectfully re-
tire. Then Osceola's time has come.
Adjusting his white apron he leaves
the crowd, whose questions he has been
answering with caution and hauteur,
and seats himself by the side of the first
cow in the first row.
Milk? Well, / just wish you could

at is composed of gold bars six inches
in length, three in width and one and a
half IN thickness, each worth So 1000.
1t began to accumulate about five years
ago, when our foreign trade increased
in wonderful manner. A large
amount Of English and French gold was
paid into the country and was sent TO
the New York assay Office, where it was
melted down into bars. All this gold
was sent here. 1t is / 900 fine, which
is our technicality for pure or 24-carat
gold. The American gold coinage is
900 fine, while English is 925 fine, SO
that we are glad to get that coinage to
melt down. You must suppose that
this large amount of gold is always in
the mint. The amount huctuates.
