Gen. Lawton, of Georgia, was appoint
ed Minister to Russia, by President Cleve-
land, in the course of Solid South Dem
ocratic Reform. But it transpired after
the appointment that Gen. Lawton was a
more consistent Democrat than they
thought he was. He was in the Rebel
army, and was so bitter hot-head that
he refused to have his political disabilities
removed. This placed the Administra-
tion in a sad predicament-an unrepent-
ant traitor appointed to represent the
United States at Foreign Court. To
relieve the President of further embar-
rassment. Gen. Lawton has, it is said, de-
clined the appointment. The bitter Cen
eral perhaps sees by this time where he
missed it in sticking to the die-in-the-
last-ditch doctrine of the late lamented
Confederacy.

The Portsmouth Tribune twits E. S.
Wilson and Murat Halstead on their de-
cisions, in answers to correspondents, that
"the man goes around the squirrel" when
he only goes around where the squirrel
was. But the best joke was the CONNER
cial Gazette's answer to a correspondent
who inquired if there was any difference
between "a foot square" and "a square
foot" The editor replied that there was
"a decided difference" If the correspond
ent had mentioned two feet in each case
there would have been difference.

The New York and Washington cor
respondents of the Commercial Gazette
are nominating candidate for Governor
of Ohio. They interview prominent
Ohioans, and the interviews all read like
this: Beatty, Kennedy and others are
good men, and would run well, but Fora
ker could beat any man the Democrats
may put up, and he stands good chance
of the nomination, &c. All these are ca
pable men. But speaking of strength,
John Beatty would arouse an enthusiasm
which would sweep the State, and so
would Bundy, and so would scores of 9TH
er men in the State. Let us not be in a
hurry about this matter. We want to act
this Fall a little more like common sense,
and little less like political idiocy than
heretofore.

all our fnely-worded efforts, for the
poor weak heart is loyal still. Louise
Schnelle was a pretty young German
girl, residing in Cincinnati. A few
years ago she came over from Ger
many with relatives, leaving an affec-
tionate lover in the old country
She was Industrious, saved her money
and looked forward with bright anti
cipation to the time when she should
be united to her beloved Fritz, to be
parted no more forever. He wrote
regularly, and their sky seemed to be
marred by no cloud Her relations,
claiming to have her interest at heart,
selected young man in The neigh bor-
hood whom they urged her to marry.
Her heart rebelled at the thought.
They insisted and she persisted.
Then these scheming friends-if
friends they may be rightfully called
sent some word to Fritz, away in
Germany, which caused his letters to
cease. As soon as the poor girl miss
ed the first letter. she OWNED the
cause, and after much mental suffer-
ing, on last Thursday night she took
a large dose of Rough on Rats" to
end her sufferings. This, it is sup
posed, threw her into such terrible
pain that she ended all by going into
the yard and leaping into the cistern.
She left letter, assuring her rela-
tions that she did not blame them for
what had happened. This is only one
of many hundreds Of cases that are
transpiring in the world daily. No
one can act, successfully, as inter-
prefer for the heart of another.
After all it is question of simple
Judgment. The heart blinded by love
may break down the safeguards of
prudence which the sober judgment
throws around the individual, yet in
reference with the affairs of young
hearts should only be attempted after
earnest, prayerful thought.

We have frequently known in
stances of persons requesting journal
lists to attack this or that person or
measure, coupled with the modest re-
quest that ''you must not say that l
told you, or said anything about the
matter" But case is reported from
Kingston, Tennessee, which if true
shows case that for unfairness rivals
anything ever conceived by the anony-
nous correspondent. A young lady
of the neighborhood was known to he
sharp writer, and the editor of the
local paper prevailed upon her to
write an article on the subject of
Temperance, using fictitious sigma
nature. His ostensible purpose was
to awake an interest, and consequent
reformation, in his graceless nephew.
She wrote the article, and he publish
ed it. The doggery-keepers called
upon him in body, and threatened
to break him up unless he divulged
the identity of the writer, which, like
a scared boy, he promptly did. Then
these doggery-keeping imps of Satan
filled the neigh borhood with scandal
relative to the young lady, and as a
consequence she has been living as a
recluse in her beautiful home ever
since the occurrence of these events,
sixteen years ago. The miserable,
cowardly conduct of the editor blasted
the life of the contributor. He was
willing to make use Of the force con-
tanned in the article, but unwilling to
assume any of the responsibilities.
After all, friends, our rule is the best.
Print the name of the writer of every
contributed article. Then there can
be no mistakes.

RED NOSES.

Why is a dram-drinker's nose red? The question is answered by Dr. J. B. Johnson, a Washington physician, who says that the dram drinkers heart beats about thir- teen times oftener in the minute than the heart of one who does not drink alcohol. The arteries, in consequence of this increased heart action, carry the blood to the nose quicker than the veins carry it back. The blood, there fore, remains congested in the overfilled vessels, and the nose and the face as well thus become habitually red. So stagnant is this blood that when the dram drinkers nose meets a sudden current of cold air it immediately turns purple and so remains until warm air restores the red color. So the red nose IS caused by con- gestion. Every organ of the body is in a similar state-a warning of an impending fate not to be avoided.

There has lately been a notable falling off in the production of copper both in Arizona and Mon tana.
 The amount of copper produced in the United States in 1884, was 2S,070, 139 pounds greater than the production of 1883.
 The government statistician places the export of crude copper during the fiscal year ending recently at 4O,650,OOO pounds, as agalnst about one-third of the amount during the year previous.
 A Ageneration,ago America bought copper. Now we are one of the chief producers. About one-third of the total product of the world, or sixty-four thousand tons, is American.
 The Calumet & Hecla mine, Michigan, has contracted to supply the manufacturers for the next four months about ten million pounds of copper at about eleven cents.
 It is certain that enormously more copper can be used with profit, and that the use will broaden as the price declines.-Chicago Mining Review.

COiOr-ts;indness.

Mir. Julius King, who Is ex- aminer for color blindness for the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad, has discovered a remark able case. The party was an em- ploye of the railroad company. He is man about 40 years old, and is a fireman. Mir. King made three tests in his case. First, col ored glass globes were placed over a gas jet, and the man, at a dis tance of twenty feet away, asked to tell the colors. He named the red globe correctly when 1t was first used, but on second trlal declared it to be green. Then railway signal flags of different colors were waved before him. He called the red flag green, the green flag red, and when two flags, both red, but of different shades, were waved the fireman insisted that they were green. Red and green flags held up together he declared to be green. The next test was made with a small rack in which hung zephyr worsted of different colors. The standard color of green was pointed out to the man and he was asked to select the worsted in the rack of the same color. He immediately picked out bright red, old gold, and light brown punches. The fireman had to be discharged. Mir. King said that he had examined a very large number of men for color blindness and that about four men in every 100 are defective in their eyesight in this respect. But very few people are as color-pllno as the fireman,he said. He said that women were seldom found color
 blind, as they constantly trained their eyes in selecting colors in ribbons and dry goods, and in discriminating between delicate shades and tints. In answer to question Mir. King explained: ''The theory of the cause of color blindness is that parts of the eye respond each to different colors. When any of these parts are deficient, absent, or undeveloped, the person cannot see the color that it belongs to, leaving some other responsive part to act.-Ex.
