A Famous Elm.
arwhtt.h.ii p....-a

We wonder how many visitors to the
South Kensington exhibitions are
aware that the fine elm tree which is
so conspicuous an object between the
two band stands, and in front of the
conservatory, was for years in the CEN
ter Of the garden attached to Gore
house, and that beneath its widespread
ing branches Lady Blessington was
wont to hold court with the best men
about town as her encourage? If only
speech were youchsafed It, what tales
could that old tree unfold Of all that it
heard beneath its wide-spreading
branches! One who knew Gore house
well, In old ante-exhibition days, long
before the era of Cole and the advent
of Freake, writes us that he has on more
than one occasion seen Bulwer Lytton,
Count d'Orsay and Lady BIessington
in communion beneath its branches,
and with them a saturnine reserved
foreigner, holding his own counsel,
much given to meditation, and hereaf-
ter to be known In history as Napoleon

He Could Tell Men from Women.

They were sitting on the benches of
of Lakefront, famed by the breezes
from the lake and ever and anon some
person passed, the criticising of whom
furnished food for conversation. He
had travelled extensively in foreign
climes, and upon every occasion which
was afforded him told her of the many
strange things which had come under
his notice while in far-off lands. BY
and by two Cinnamon passed. The
lady gazed upon the Celestials, and
said to her companion:
"What peculiar people the Chinese
are and what an odd way they dress.
Why l do not believe I could tell q
man from woman, the two sexes
dress so much alike.n
Indeed they do, Nellie, but / have
seen tribes in Nubia, the features of both
men and women being precisely the
same. Their hair is worn the same,
and their wearing apparel is exactly
alike, but never had any difficulty in
distinguishing the men from the wo.
men,"
"And pray, George, how could you
tell them apart?'
"By their dress?"
"But ! thought you said they dressed

HERMAN G. GRosCHNER,

Democratic candidate for State Senator,
was born in Germany in 1874. When
he was seven years old the family emf
grated to the United States and settled
at Buffalo, n. Y, remaining there a
year and then removing to Florida,
Henry county, where they resided six
years.
From Florida, Herman went to De-
fiance as clerk in hardware store,
and after remaining there five years he
commenced business for himself in
Napoleon in 1854, and has established a
large and prosperous business.
Mr.. Groschner has served as township
treasurer two years; member and presi.
dent of the Board of Education eight
years; and in 1878 was elected to repre-
sent his county in the State Legislature,
and reelected in 1880. In each of these
positions he made good record, and
having been nominated candidate for
State Senator at the late convention at
Findlay, he is certain to be ell ected as
one of the Senators for the 33d district.
Mr.. Groschner is a good business
man, of sterling integrity, and will car
ry the district by handsome majority.

The Republican newspapers have
been endeavoring to make considerable
campaign bunkum out ofthe treatment
ofex soldiers at the hands, of Democratic
officials, and particularly the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette and the State Jour
nal. Their principal charge has been
that old soldiers were displaced from
positions, about the State House by
those who were not veterans. Now let
us see what truth there is in this. A
careful examination shows that no less
than fffty-two ex-soldiers are now hold
ing positions of greater or less degree in
the State House, ~ n ~
Among them we may mention the
following: Clerk of theSupreme Court
Kiesewetter, Land Clerk England, Mr..
Joseph Brady of the Treasurer's Office,
School Commissioner Brown, Insurance
Commissioner Reinmund, State Librian
Pearson, and in the Adjutant Generals
Office alone are ten ex-soldiers. Besides
these, and many others, are a number

Democratic candidate for State Sena-
tor, was born near Napoleon, Henry
county, in 1S4S. At the breaking out of
the war he enlisted in the o. v. I.when
only II years of age. Before he was 81,
he. had been promoted through all the
grades to Major. .'-.
He has served in the Board of Educa-
tion, been President of the City Council,
chairman of the County Central and
member ofth State Central Democratic
Committees, a number of times; dele
gate to the National Convention of
1876. He was for three years Prosecut-
ing Attorney of Lucas county.
AS Prosecuting Attorney, he was one
of the most successful who ever served
in Lucas county and was most careful
and painstaking in caring for the pub
lie interests. Under Major Dodd's ad-
ministration of the office of ofProsecuting
Attorney, the average costs, in cases of
felonies, were less in Lucas county than
in any of the other 81 counties of the
state, as shown by the Auditor of States
report and Attorney Generals report
for the year 1883.

LEGAL POINTS.
Can a Passenger Train be Attached.

Recognition is being made in a varie-
ty of directions of the principle that the
legal rules ordinarily applied to strictly
private enterprises and properties are
not applicable without limitation to
enterprises and properties in the con-
duct of which the public has O more or
less clearly, defined interest. For ex-
ample, the right of party to private
suit to attach q passenger train, thus
causing inconvenience to numbers of
persons not interested in the con-
troversy, has been limited by statute.
A recent instance of the recognition of
the principle referred to is mentioned
in Boston letter to the Albany Law
Journal. The forms of newspaper
were attached at the instance of an at
torney who considered himself aggriev-
ed, structures made in the preceding
issue of the paper. The attachment
was made just before midnight, when
it was impossible to give bond to dis
solve the attachment; the officer refus-
ed to allow the forms to be used, and
the result was that the paper was dis
tributed to its patrons next morning
printed on one side only, one half Of
the form having previously been pre-
pared and in the hands of the printer
before the attachment was made. To
provide against the recurrence ofany
such inconvenience as was caused to
the public in this instance the last legis-
lature of Massachusetts passed an act
providing that no attachment can be
made of the forms of anewspaper when
ready for press. This act does not do
away with the right of attachment
against the property of newspapers, but
introduces the principle that such right
must not be SO exercised as to work
avoidable inconvenience to the public.

a few days ago he found the people
greatly excited. A string band was
marching around town, several flags
were flying in the breeze, and 1t seemed
as if Fourth of July was at hand for the
time. The drummer finally inquired
the cause of the commotion, and was
answered that one of the merchants
had failed. q"

Startling Experience.

Next to scarlet fever, there is no dis
ease among children more dreaded by
parents than whooping cough. It is
liable to come at all seasons of the year;
it exhausts the strength Of the little
ones, and physicians are often unable to
cheek it. Mr.. f. w. Harbaugh, Of the
Telegram, Baltimore, Maryland, had
six Of his children, aged from six to
thirteen years, prostrated with this
imalady at one and the same time. A
complete cure was however, effected by
Red Star Cough Cure; and Mr., oHarr
baugh writes that the cough, which
generally lasts nine weeks, left IN fouI
weeks, and Is confident It would havq
disappeared sooner ifhe had been aware
ofthe existence Of such an Invaluable
remedy.

While the prospect for the erection

Of 1885 is not quite 90 fattering as 1t
might be, or as. other seasons have
been, there will be,nore than the usual
number decorated outside and inside
and additions built, and large and ex'
tensive Improvements made on those
which have been in.the course OF con-
struction. That good times aretnear
at hand, and better still . coming, is
evidenced, not only BY the prepara-
tions for extensive improvements in
and around Napoleon, but throughout
the country everywhere, Saur has
already made all the necessary ar.
rangements and purchases OF the dif-
ferent kinds OF materials for the spring
trade, which will be largely in demand
at prices which cannot fail to attract
the attention of .altclose buyers. The
outside decorations which, within the
last few years have become SO very
popular and fashionable, and can only
be made with good paint; can always
be found nice and fresh in all shades
and colors, and in any quantity to suit
purchasers at Saur's Drug and Paint
Store at lower prices than have ever
been known on some quality ofgoods.
Even old buildings which are almost
ready totumble down, can, with a few

For the inside decorations within the
last FIVE or SIX years paper has largely
taken the place Of paint for several
reasons; the two principle OF which are,
first, that 1t is very much cheaper, and
consequently can be changed oftener;
and second, thatsit can be made to look
