In Richmond, Indiana, abided ;
scissors-grinder named Charles Loef
fer-but no matter about the name
Charles perambulated about the
country by the aid of wagon ant
two donkeys. Thus he transported
his grindstones, and raked in nickels
1t is fair to presume that Charles is
pretty, and when pleasure-riding with
his donkeys and his grindstones in the
neighborhood of Dayton, O., he capti
waited young lady who had saved uE
considerable money by sewing. This
girl was persuaded into little ro,
mantle runaway in the donkey
wagon. She gave all her money te
Charles, and they went to Richmond
and got married. He took her to the
house of friend, where the wedding
feast was to be spread, and while she
was enjoying the widest dreams OF
romantic joys, he skipped out with
her money, and she wended her way
to the Police Station to seek redress.
This girl has lots more sense now
than she had before her unfortunate
experience with the scissors-grinder.
1t is dangerous business for girls,
this running away with an unknown
youngster. There are none so much
interested in the happiness Of young
lady as her parents, and failing to
heed the advice of these too frequent
ly clouds the young life with last
ing misery.
The Rev. Sam. Jones, the Southern
Revivalist, is at the Loveland Camp
Meeting. The Rev. Sam is what
might be termed a religious hustler. +"
He speaks his mind, regardless of who
may possibly take exceptions to what
he is saying. On last Saturday he
poured hot shot into the Church
membership after this fashion:
And another thing | want to say.
A good many of you are drinking
beer, or whisky, or wine for your
health. The devil is in it and he
don't care whether you drink it for
your fool health. He don't care how
or why you do it-all he wants is that
you do it. Tf the Church Of God in
America would quit drinking whisky
and vote on this internal whisky
question they could starve out half
the lager beer saloons in the country
in six months and vote the balance
out of sight, for half of the saloons
in Cincinnati are run by church
members don't say Christians.
God bless you; a Christian won't
drink that stuff | got religion
twelve years ago and | know what a
Christian can do.
This talk Of the Rev. Sans has no
bearing upon the Commercial Gazette's
charges of wine-drinking against DR..
Leonard. Sam is talking to the whole
church. And sam is about right.
An intelligent Christian cannot con-
ceive of Heaven of happiness where
the fumes Of whisky, or the sour
stencil Of beer floats upon the
breezes. Men delight to think Of it
as place of pure spirits, of sacred
songs, Of golden harps-but neuer as
a place into which some red-nosed
member of church has climbed from
the hight Of his beer-kegs or his mon
ey-safe. Sam is right.

George Hoadly will probably be the
Democratic candidate for Governor Of
Ohio. There have been some little
waits Of seemingly Insignificant drift
wood bobbing up on the stream Of his
official career which upon closer ex-
animation assume an aspect of serious
ness. When Gen. Grant died, the
Governor Of the native State of the
illustrious soldier and citizen refrained
from taking official notice Of the i'm
portant fact until the press of the
State began to call the attention of
the people to the Governors action,
in vigorous terms. Then the long
delayed proclamation was issued.
Yet the fact still remains that Ohio
was not officially represented at the
funeral Of Grant. Perhaps the
smooth-tongued Governor will come
around among the old army boys and
explain these little freaks Of hesi-
fancy upon his part. There has been
more plainly impressed upon
the minds of an intelligent people, in
these later years, than that Mr.. Hoad-
ly does not possess that degree Of dig
nifty and nobility desirable in Gov
ernor of great State. We are firm
ly convinced that Mr.. Hoadly should
be retired to private life by an over
whelming majority this Fall. The
conduct Of Hoadly, taken in connec-
tion with the perfectly abominable
character of the last Legislature,
should prove weighty enough to crush,
hopelessly, the Democratic party in
this State.

We have heard complaints from
two or three soldiers of the opposition
on the part of President Grant and
Hon. John Sherman to the bill grant
ing additional pay to Union soldiers.
We cannot agree with our friends in
This matter. We are not prepared to
think that the brave men who
marched to the front at the call of
their countrv were 0Oinp merely
