the Piled ge WAS no longer binding, the
time having expired Some twenty
or more immediately renewed the
pledge for another year. The young
men doubtless quit because they saw
therein their only safety, and not
from any fear Of the tar and feather
process. Still their novel penalty was
the means Of attracting attention,
bringing in members and doing some
good We should like to see this Or
ganization become so far-reaching in
its workings as to become National
affair, were it not that questions of
humanity enter into consideration.
Every goose and chicken in the Unit
I'd States would have to be sacrificed
to furnish feathers for coating the
weak brethren who might fall from
grace. The Societys badge is lump
of tar filled with feathers, and attach
ed to blue ribbon, There is one
source of strength, even in the badge
The smell Of the tar would constantly
remind the wearer of his pledge, and
could not, by any possible distortion
of the imagination be made to smell
as badly as II breath tainted with beer
and whisky

The coal trade up the creek is dull, although
some coal is being 1un out.
AT the recent meeting o District No. Jones,
Anti-Scfip Bill was endorsed.
The coal trade is improving slightly at Wells
ton, If reports from there correct.
Mining District No. voted against the reduc-
ton suggested by the State Board, 1904 to II.
Said a local dealer, few days ago: "There's
too much coal stolen, about here, to make the
retail business profitable
The operators in the Hooking Valley claim
that more men are wanting to go to work than
they have work for. But this is only their side.
A considerable trade is still kept up in haul
ing from the mines out the ChilIcothe road.
Coal is delivered here by some of these opera
tors at six and half cents per bushel.
A camel coal vein was struck, many years
ago in the woods, a mile >ouIh- west of town.
The school b. Us n>td 10 find good Spt cimens at
the opening, and man utactured many rings and
ornamtn ntS II ON it. What has become of that
vein. Is it there in paying quantities?
A few DAYS ago a coal train en- route from
Jackson to Springfield was broken near Far
mersvIlie, eight of the ear cars breaking loose
and running back down the road 10 Gre2gs
Hill, before being stopped. The Watchman
says th-y passed Waverly like a streak.

A coal dealer of his place tells of a joke per-
by a miner of this place upon person
VINO borrowed his coal i'll the night season. He
lived near by, and one evening the miner took
a few tempting Iu,nps and, drilling holes i'll
them, pat a small charge of rifle powder in

The eagtrnrSs of newspaper CORES
pnndents for sensations often renders
their efforts ridiculous. There is no
person who knows so much, and pos
Sesses such mysterious knowledge, re-
lating to the actions, and even the
thoughts, of great men as the special
correspondent. Anything said by a
great man, is the especial property of
the correspondent, and he telegraphs
it at once to his home office, with his
interpretation of it. A short time
ago Gen. Grant wrote All account of
the Battle of Shiloh. In the course
of the narrative he said that at GER
tain point in the movements, Gen.
A. Med. McCook requested that his
division be not sent In pursuit OF the
enemy. This" said Grant, was not
the request of the men, but Of the
Division Commander" Thereupon a
great cry is raised that Gen. Grant is
trying to mar the fame of Gen. Nc
Cook. Gen. Grant has been inter-
viewed with regard to the matter, and
states, plainly, that he had no iuten-
ton to speak slightingly Of McCook,
but merely stated matter of fact
as the request did come from the Com
mander, and not from the men,. Yet
many columns have been printed ex-
pressive Of grief over Grants attack
upon McCook. The correspondents
will have to look elsewhere for SEN
Sation.

1t is always touching and beauti-
full spectacle to see a good man en-
gagged in his devotions. The sight of
strong man, down upon his knees,
offering up praise, and calling down
the Divine mercy upon those about
him, is one that causes the noblest
chords of the human heart to vibrate
with sympathy. But whist! When
you see man praying, don't disturb
him. It disturbs his meditation. It
entangles the threads of his faith. It
gets him-to use vulgar expression
Of the world-''out Of sorts" Now
there's Henry Strottman, German,
living at Vincennes, Indiana, he's a
very religious man. Henry is. Hen
rvs four children were down with
typhoid fever, and Henry prayed al
most necessarily for their recovery.
also that his wife might change her
religious belief, and come over to his
way of thinking.
On last Friday evening Henry was
praying as usual, when his wife sug-
gested that with the four sick chill
dren in the house it might be just as
well if he could stop praying long
enough to put little coal on the fire.
This enraged the truly pious man,
and seizing spade handle, he knocked
his wife in the head with it, and then
beat his father-in-law to death. The
police finally arrived and took the
pious Henry to Jail. He was bound
to teach that sinful woman not to
talk to him about temporal matters
like bringing in coal when he had on
hand such serious business as praying
his children into health.

At Georgetown, Connecticut, on the

Ta the Editor of the Standard:

Us that the 7th of this month our
time is out. We would be very much
lost without our paper here in our
new home, for we are lonesome, and
long every week for the arrival of the
Standayd The Daily Observations"
is the first to be read for the home
news, and it gives US much pleasure,
these cold winter evenings. Enclosed
you will find one dollar for which
please continue our paper.
We have snow here about two
feet deep, the second largest ever
known here. It commenced to snow
on the Nth of Janu ry, and looks
much like we would have more snow
to-day. 1t has been very cold, the
Thermometer standing, good part of
the time, from % to 80 degrees below
zero. 1t seems almost more than we
can stand, as our acquaintance here
has been short We think we will
like our new home pretty well when
Spring opens. Hoping this may
reach you in time that we may not
miss our next weeks paper, remain.
Respectfully.

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.
BY D. MACKLEY.

Many Of my exchanges have an
Educational Column, or Educational
Department., conducted by a learned
Professor, or a prominent Teacher. |
have a good deal of leisure now, and |
propose to devote a portion Of my
time to this subject.
| have always taken an interest in
education, and especially in the prac-
tical and useful branches. Grammar
is defined as the science Of language.
and English Grammar as the art of
speaking and writing the English
language with propriety. Grammar
is used every time any one speaks.
On last Friday night I thought l
would look over my exchanges. and I
was surprised to find that no regard
appeared to be paid to the rules of
Grammar. Here, in one of the papers,
in its educational column, the Pro-
frssor says:
Il was made to straighten myself
up"
The proposition ''to" shonld not be
used after the word made"
Tn the educational column Of an
other paper find this:
ID. E Phillips. of the Buckeye
Furnace school. has Teen compelled
to suspend his regular dnties As
teacher for week or two. but Is now
able to return to work again"
After the word ''but," in the above
the nominative he should be in
serted.
In a communication in one Of my
exchanges, the writer of the article
has a certificate authorizing him to
teach English Grammar. In this
communication I find this:
ut has not been such a great while
since society thought whenever a wo-
man got old and ugly, it was neces-
sary to hang or drown her as a
witch"
An adjective cannot be used after
the word 'such" 1t should read: II
has not been so great while, etc.
Again, he says:
m y identity is no secret, and il
any one will say | have done them
injustice [ will apologize as humbly
as | can"
"Any ope'' and them do not fiji
in just right.
In conclusion he says:
"Bnt my space is full and more
than full. We will resume this again
sometime, possibly"
He uses the singular 'fmy," and the
plural "we" rather closely. Is he one
or more?
One Of the most outrageous and
silly blunders is so common that
find 1t in nearly every paper [ see
Here are few samples:

PARKDALE, Col, JANUARY goth, 1885
To the Editor of the Standard:
/ want your
paper for the year 1885. am still in Col
orado. think this is one of the finest
countries in the world for poor man. 1t
is healthy, and for grain growing, such
as wheat, oats and barley, and for potatoes
and other vegetables, is excellent. We
cannot raise much of corn crop-the
seasons are too short. But a poor man
must work, and not go to the doggeries,
and come home and abuse his family. He
must learn to rough it, and in few years
he will come out all right. When I land
ed in the west only had fifty cents in the
world, in money. l had wife and four
children. Now, if were to die tomorrow,
l could leave my family $2O4OO, besides
other property. But my wife don't see
me coming home having little business
ON every side of the road.
Yours Respectfully,

A gang of tramps boarded passen-

ago, and when the conductor demand
ed their fare, they fired three shots at
him with revolvers. Then he seized
a stick of wood and knocked one of
them in the head, and dumped them
all off the train. A few such con-
ductors as this one would soon put an
end to the work of bullying Railroad
trains.

Some funny things occur in the
experience of Congressional Investi-

Committee, called to investigate the
October election in Cincinnati, did not
expect to find anything wrong, and
did not find anything wrong, albeit
they may tell wondrous stories in
their report. As specimen of the
kind of valuable testimony they have
been accumuiating, the calling OF
James F. Legate, of Kansas, furnishes
beautiful picture. This man, who
figured to some extent in the Andrew
johnson impeachment trial, got the
word out that he knew of desperate
plots to murder leading Democrats in
Cincinnati, on election day. The
