The Election In Ohio TO-dny-uts
Significance.

In to-morrow's issue of the HERALD
we shall be able TO give our readers
the salient features Of the Ohio cleo
ton, unless the wires shall most in.
OPPORTUNITY break down. The entire
people Of the United States are now
unquestionably hanging upon this de-
livery. The importance Of this cleo
ton hinges upon the fact Mat the
Buckeye State IL the last of the Octo-
Der States north of Mason 4 Dixon's
line. Even so late as four years ago
there was also an October election in
Indiana, 10 that Ohio did not occupy
the sensational position in politics
which she occupies now. Away back
in the somewhat memorable election
#. Of James buchanan to the Presidency,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana were
all October States, and great interest
attached to the verdict of each of
them. In that year Pennsylvania
and Indiana went Democratic and
Ohio Republican. The moment il
was known that both Pennsylvania
and Indiana had gone Democratic the
result Of the November election was
assumed. In the year 1873 u

A QUAKER WEDDING.
The Marriage Ceremony According to the
Orthodox Friend Quaker Prescription.

The Marriage Ceremony According to the
Orthodox Friend Quaker Prescription.
A Quaker wedding is not the uneouth
affair which the description given would
lead the reader to suppose, but is, on
the contrary, solemn and impressive
ceremony, decorous and orderly in the
extreme. The prospective bride and
groom pass meeting three or four
weeks before the day set for the mar
riage. That is, they appear in the
meeting to which the bride belongs,
and declaration of their intention is
publicly made. If no obstacle appears
between the passing" and the we'd
ding day, the clerk of the meeting pre-
pares the marriage certificate, large
enough always to contain many sigma
lures. When the wedding day arrives
all the front seats on the mems side of
the house are reserved for the wedding.
1t is not necessarily on fifth day,
as stated, but upon whatever day
Of the week, except the first day, the
regular meeting for worship is held in
that district. After the meeting is
''settled into Stiffness" the wedding
party enters, the bride leaning on the
arm of the bridegroom; they take seats
together, not on opposite sides of the
house, under the minister's gallery, ION
the mems side of course facing the
congregation, not with their backs to it.
The bridesmaids and groomsmen, rang
ing in number from four to eight, fol-
low the bride and groom and take the
front seats. Then the parents of the
contracting parties, and other relatives
and friends arrive and occupy the re-
mainder of the reserved space. After
all are seated there is half hour or
more of silence, or sometimes prayer
or short sermon, then the ceremony
takes place. The groom rises and gives
his hand to the bride, who rises by bis
side, he still retaining her hand. He
says nothing about his worldly goods
as stated, but repeats gravely these
this assembly, l take Mary Penn to be
my wife, promising, by Divine assist
ance, to be unto her faithful and loving
husband until death shall separate us. "
She repeats corresponding formula,
and they sit down. A table is then
placed before the pair, upon which is
spread the marriage certlhcate. 1hey
sign it, the relatives and friends sign it,
and after another interval of silence, a
minister or elder rises in the gallery
and says quietly: 1.-The wedding COM
pany may now retire" The newly
married man gives his arm to his wife
and they pass out, as they have entered,
together. The bridesmaids and grooms-
men follow in pairs, the rest of the COM
pany follow them, and not until the last
carriage is driven away does the minis
ter at the head of the gallery shake
hands with his next neighbor as signal
that the meeting is dismissed. In ac-
cordance with ancient usage, two over
seers are appointed TO be present at the
wedding breakfast to see to it that .
proper decorum is preserved, and the
clerk enters the marriage on the records
/ of the meeting. - Pittsburgh Dispatch.

An Approaching Star.

One of the most beautiful of all stars
in the heavens is Arcturus, in the con-
stellation Bootes. In January last the
astronomer royal communicated to the
Royal Astronomical Society tabulated
statement of the results of the observa-
tons made at Greenwich during 1883 in
applying the methods of DR.. Higgins
for measuring the approach and recess
sion of the so-called fixed stars in direct
line. Nearly two hundred of these OBJ
servations are thus recorded, twenty
one of which were devoted to Arcturus,
and were made from March 80 to Au-
gust "a. The result shows that this bril-
liant sinctillating star is moving rapidly
toward us with velocity of more than
fifty miles per second (the mean of the
twenty-one observations is 0.78). This
amounts to about 5000 miles per min-
ute, 10000 per hour, 1920 900 miles
per day. Will this approach continue,
or will the star appear stationary and
then recede? If the motion is orbital,
ever, nothing in the rates observed to
indicate any such Orbital motion, and as
the observations extended over five
months, this has some weight. Still it
might be travelling in a mighty orbit of
many years duration, the bending of
which may, in time, be indicated by a
retardation of the rate of approach,
then by no perceptible movement either
toward or away from us, and this fol-
lowed by recession equal to its pre-
vious approach. If, on the other hand,
the four and half millions of miles a
day continue, the star must become Wis
IDLY brighter to posterity in spite of the
enormous magnitude of cosmical dis
tances. Our eighty-one-ton guns drive
forth their projectiles with maximum
velocity of fourteen hundred feet per
second. Arcturus is approaching us
with speed that is two hundred times
greater than this. 1t thus moves over
distance equal to that between the
earth and the sun in twenty-one days.
Our present distance from Arcturus is
estimated at 1,622,000 times this.
Therefore, if the star continues to APP
proach us at the same rate as measured
last year, it will have completed the
whole of its journey toward us in 93,-
600 years. Gentleman Magazine.

The Clock in Trinity's Tower.

The clock in Trinity Church tower in
this city is the heaviest in America. The
frame stands nine feet long, five feet
high and three feet wide. The main
wheels are thirty inches in diameter.
There are three wheels in the time train
and three each in the strike and the
chime. The winding wheels are formed
of solid castings thirty inches in diam
eter and two inches thick, and are driven
by opinion and arbor." On this arbor
is placed jack, or another wheel, pin
ion and crank, and it takes $50 turns of
this crank to wind each weight up. 1t
requires 700 feet of three inch rope for
the three cords, and over an hour for
two men to WHY'D the clock, The PEN
dulum is eighteen feet long, and oscil-
lates twenty-five times minute. The
dials are eight feet in diameter, although
they look little more than half that size
from Broadway. The three weights are
about eight hundred, twelve hundred
and fifteen hundred pounds respectively.
A large box is placed at the bottom Of
the well that holds about bale of cotton
waste, SO that if a cord should break the
cotton would check the cencussion.

MATERIALS FOR REPAIRS.
How Farmers May Save Time by Usin
Forethought and System.

How Farmers May Save Time by Using
Forethought and System.
When a tool or machine is broken or
gets out of order on the farm, it always
saves time to have the materials for re-
pair at hand Hours, or even days,
may be lost, at season when time is
valuable, for want of some small APP
pliances. Among the materials which
every farmer should always have at
hand in his Toulouse, are the follow
ing:
Cords, ropes, Irvine and packthread-
for temporary tying, closing bags, put
ting up various packages and repairing
cushions. Packing needles large
enough to take small and strong Irvine
are sometimes a great convenience
Saddlers' and shoemakers' thread is
very strong for its size, and may be
used for various purposes, besides being
always on hand for repairing harness
on rainy days, when not convenient to
employ regular mechanic. All these
materials may be often secured by
merely saving what is frequently thrown
away. Irvine, for instance, which
comes on packages from the dry-goods
and other shops, should be carefully as
sorted and rolled up in neat balls or
skeins, and placed in box specially de-
voted to it. Wrapping-paper saved in
similar way and carefully packed
away may occasionally be of much use.
Another box, with apartments. should
contain rivets and screw-bolts of differ
hn
worn-out machines, and others pur.
chased at small price at hardware
stores. A few copper rivets are often
useful, as they are easily inserted and
secured. Nails, tacks and brads of diff
ferent sizes, are indispensable. Copper
tacks may be sometimes handily used for
repairing leather straps and simple har-
ness, as copper is more flexible than iron,
and may be bent and easily secured.
For the same reason there should be
always on hand a supply of copper as
well as iron wire; the copper may be
subtituted for Irvine in many case to adj
vantage. Strips of sheet-copper, an inch
or two in width, are valuable for repair
ing fractures in wooden tools and ma
chimes, by mailing across the fracture.
There should be always on hand suf-
ficient supply of bolts, screws and extra
knives of the moving and reaping ma
chine, so that immediate repairs may be
made when necessary, and the work not
stopped in the midst of haying and har-
vest.
No farm can do without gimlets, avis,
augers, bits, wrenches, planes, ham,
mers, and other tools for similar pur-
poses. The workbench in the work
shop being placed against the wall, the
various tools should be hung directly
over it on the wall, and be always neatly
kept in place. The boxes and apart
ments for holding nails, screws, rivets,
cord, ETC., should be placed against the
further side of the work-bench.-Co~n-
try Gentleman.

COTTON-SEED MEAL
Not Injurious to Calves IL Fed In Moders
ton,

Not Injurious to Calves IL Fed In MOderA-
One of our subscribers writes that his
neighbor has lost three calves from feed
ing cotton-seed meal, as he supposes,
and he asks what there is in this feed
that shou Id be so fatal to calves.
We have not recommended the use Of
cotton-seed meal for young calves be-
cause it is not all decorticated, and the
husk of cotton seed is exceedingly tough
and indigestible, entirely unfit for a
Young Calls stomach. If the cotton
seed was well decorticated we do not
think that, fed in moderation, it would
injure calf. But it is exceedingly
rich in heterogeneous matter and oil, and
the calf's stomach can stand but little
of it. The young calf should not be
given more than quarter to one-third
Of pound per day, and that should be
boiled and fed with wheat middlings
Cotton-seed meal is not SO laxative as
inseed meal, and not SO soothing to the
stomach. The six-months calf can safely
be fed one pound of cotton-seed meal
per day, which in nine months may be
Increased to one and one-half pounds
per day. These rich foods should al
ways be given in small quantity to
young animals, and always mixed with
with foods poor in nitrogen. In dairy
districts, where whey is used, which is
so poor in nitrogen and oil. little oil
meal viii make up the deficiency, and
becomes valuable addition. In COM
bination with corn meal, cotton-seed
meal has large feeding value for those
year old or over The deaths of the
calves mentioned may have been caused
by feeding too much and creating infam-
nation OF the stomach. Natiop0l Live
