1t is to the credit of Governor Hoadly, Of Ohio
that he has officially refused to approve tho award
of the State Sinking Fund Commission, 50 that the
contract with Meter Of Cincinnati, for the sale OF
$2,0000O0 Of State bonds is defeated. This is the
case about which there was much excitement some
time ago. when two Of tho Fund Commissioners, be-
ing Democrats, conspired with some prominent
men of the party to arrange this contract notwlth-
standing the fact that much more advantageous
terms for tho State the same time offered
by other responsible parties The decision of the
Governor gees to establish the fact that the award
of the Fund Commissioners was improper and un-
just to the State and it is therefore to be COM
mcnded, although there is strong reason to believe
that if the operation had not excited much public
censure the contract would have been quietly APP
proved.

The announcement that the property of the Wash
ington Mills Company has been sold for 5000
enables one to form some estimate OF tue dtfcu ties
which great manufacturing companies have been
compelled to meet. This property consisted OF SIX
mills dye-house, store house, and gas house, and
Is said to have cost $l,147,5O0. In 1872 this
concern paid 10 per cent dividends, and its stock
sold above lO5. 1t then paid no dividend until
1875 and the stock meanwhile declined to 90. In
1876. 1877 and 1879 it paid dividends OF d per cent
yearly. and tho stock advanced TO 100. In 1879
no dividend was paid In 1850 q per cent, and IN
1881 per cent. and IN that year the stock had
advanced to los. But in 1882. 1883 and 1884 no
dividends were paid. aud the stock dropped last
year to g. Thus this property has paid in thirteen
years dividends amounting in all to - per cent or
less than 3 per cent yearly and yet 1t belongs to

The death of child in Newark from the bite
of rabid dog will probably cause some dis
cusslon in the medical profession touching the
nature of hydrophobia. There are still physi-
clans of learning and experience who deny
the existence of the disease and seek explana-
lions in the field of mental phenomena for the
dreadful symptoms which are connected with
the sufIerings of pers ons who have been in
fected with the virus of rabid dogs. These
symptoms-the violent paroxysms in the muse
les of the throat following the sight of water,
or the sensation of gust of cool air, the ennis
sion of unnatural sounds which the imagination
easily translates into barks, the re-infiammation
of the almost or quite healed wound-all were
present in the Newark case, and the victim be-
ing mere child of five years it will be difficult
to attribute them to the operation of fear, as is
ordinarily done by the sceptical physicians.
The case is full of scientific interest.

A new railroad is proposed. and il Is urged in its
behalf that il will create n line shorter by 100
miles than any other now in existence from an in

of this enterprise not mentioned, because 1t ~
not the purpose to dispIrage the enterprise IN the
minds of any who may he disposed to put money
into t. Separately considered, it may have ample
merit But the broader question arises whether
additional lines are anywhere needed from an into
rior city 10 tho soaboard. More lines already exist
than the traffic possibly support. and some OF
them are bankrupt even now while others have
continued the payment of dividends by increasing
their debts. The building of n new limo Will no
doubt be beneficial to people; it will help the
trade OF some localities. but mainly by diyerting
trade from other places it will give new oppor-
tunitv Tor some people to place securities upon the
market and to make money by manipulation, and it
will offer fine chances for administrative skill in
construction rings and in the assignment OF CON
trncts But IL may be doubted whether there Is any

from duty three naval officers because their
wives Joined them at foreign stations. There
is an order forbidding naval officers from hav-

foreign stations, and the order was undoubted-
" prompted by good and sufficient reasons. 1t
will be interesting to learn, however, how the
Secretary intends to compel a woman who is
not in the service to live apart from her hus-
band if she takes it into her head that a tenn

Whistling Farm Hands,


llNuIal hOlucsl
That emusic hath charms" not on
ly "to soothe the savage breast" but
to allay the irritated hearts of civil
lied beings, is well established AK
ION. But, sooth 10 say, some kinds
of music are far from having a sooth-
ing influence under certain circum-
stances. For example, the author,
student or nervous invalid who hap
pens to be domiciled next room or
door to OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
musical prodigy who practices ON
creaking instrument for hours in sue
cession, is likely to become very irri-
table, and, instead Of taking stock in
the theory that music is enchanting,
vote it a detestable nuisance. And
yet there are times and places when
the most common music proves
blessing. Even the whistling farm
hand is often benefit to himself and
his associates, for he enlivens the
scenes of labor and causes to pass rap
idly and pleasantly many hours that
would otherwise prove long and wear
isome. Moreover, the whistler is us
ually person of kind heart and anna
bic disposition. AS evidence of this,
it is in print, that an old farmer AYERS
he. will not have hired man on his
farm unless he is whistler-that she
never knew whistling laborcr TO
find fault with his food, his bed, or
any little extra work. Such man
was generally kind TO children and
animals--would whistle a chilled
hand INTO warmth and life, and bring
his hat full Of eggs from the barn
without breaking one Of them. lie
was careful about closing gates and
putting up bars, and seeing that the
nuts of his pillow were tightened be-
fore using. A whistling man never
beat or kicked a COW, while the sheep
he fed in the yard would gather
around him without fear And, final
ly, he had never employed whistler
who was not thoughtful and ecOnOm-
ical.
Though there are exceptions to all
rules, that is pretty strong testimony
in favor of W histling farm hands, and
hence worthy of consideration by all
interested. If the faculty is so ele-
waiting the obvious moral is that ru-
raj boys and young men should learn
to whistle. Speaking of farm help,
some one truly remarks that farmers
who have children can hardly be
too careful about the character
Of those they employ, both
out of doors and in the house. Most
farm laborers have habits of thought
and acts that make them injurious to
the young people with whom they
associate. A profane man, or one
guilty of impure conversation any
where, should be discharged at once,
however capable he may be in other
respects. Indeed, an immoral man
or woman-especially one who is
unkind to children and cruel to ami
mals-should never be employed OH
the farm or in respectable rural
home.
