death is always near. His desire to
impress this fact upon himself was
owing to the sudden death of his wife,

Just before he made the ccffin they
had been to ball, and after returning
home retired to bed. Fifteen minutes
later Mr. Gamble found that his wife
had died in his arms. The shock was
believed by many to have unsettled
his reason. He always kept his coffin

There is no doubt that the Blaine lead

renominated. They talk that sort OF
thing openly. A number of the Yves

visits in the line of this policy Mr..
who has been here for a number OF

Some of the Disadvantages of Travel.

On the other side, if modern facilities
for moving about furnish opportunities
Tor extending our ideas and knowl-
edge, they also lead to superliciality in
observation, which loses in depth and
thoroughnesS what it gains in extent.
We travel far in Il day, but we see only
by glances. Between the beginning of
the journey and its appointed ond the
passenger generally stops only as long
as the train, or, ut very important stu-
ti0ns, only over till the next train.
What lies between passes before his
vision like n scene in theatre, or is
lost while he sleeps. The gude-books
furnish all the Information he seeks.
Eor many the number of miles they
have Travelled over is the most impor-
tant point. 1t is evident that nothing
useful can come from travelling OF this
kind. Another undeniablc result is
the neglect of what is near and around
us for what is distant. Many people
know more of foreign countries than of
their own neighborhoods, consequently
their attachment for home is weakened.
From indifference to disdain is only Il
step. On this ground are explained
the disappearance of old customs,
which gave tiNcdueSS to social life in
the family and the commune, the dis
satisfaction with the narrowness of the
home, and relaxation OF regard for
persons in authority aud Tor older per-
sons, whose experiences, gathered in
the narrow home circle, are not al
lowed 10 compete with the assumed
versatile and superior knowledge of
Travelled youth. Iu wider circle are
thus explained the rapid spread of the
fashions and kind of leveling in life
and customs. The new styles, which
formerly went out very slowly, now
spread quickly through all classes, and
the differences between country and
city are disappearing g.-P9pu!ar Sci

\
COLUMBUS, O., July 10, 1886. (
The press of Ohio will greatly Obligs
me by giving the widest possible cir
culati0n to the following:
The last Genepsral Assembly hav-
ing made provision for the granting
of paroles OF tickets of leaves, by the
Board of Managers of the Penitentia-
ry the first. term prisoners sentenced
other than for murder in the first and
and second degrees, who have served
the minimum term, and the Board
having, with my approval, promulga-
ted rules prescribing the conditions
for such parole, which are now i'm force,
and the work of parOling having been
entered upon by the Board, / deem it
proper to give public notice that here
after [ will not consider applications
for pardon, except on the grounds of
innocence, in cases in which the pris-
oner has right to apply for a parole.
The provisions of the law for cOndi-
tional pardons are difficult of enforce
ment in case of violation of such con-
ditions, and, in my judgment, it is bet
ter, for the s ate and the prisoner that
where the conditions exist which
might otherwise justify conditional
pardon. he should be paroled rather
than pardOned.
The experiment of paroling prison.
ers has been tried elsewhere with sue
cess, and desire to give it the fullest,
amplest trial, and to prevent applica.
tions to both the Boa. and myself for
relief, which, if granted at all, ought,
in my judgment, to be granted rather
in the form of paroles than pardon,
either conditional or otherwise.
This notice, however, has no refer
ence to cases in which it may be claim
ed that the prisoner is innocent, nor to
cases now in my hands upon pending
for pardon.
