Pens and Ink Worth Recommending.

We have been favored with SAM
Piles Of the celebrated Spencerian
Double Elastic Steel Pens, and after
trying them feel justified in highly
commencing them to our readers.
They are made of the best steel, and
by the most expert wokmen, and
have a national reputation for certain
desirable qualities which no other
pens seem to possess in SO great per-
fection. Among these are uniform
evenness of point, durability, fexibil-
ity and quill action. So popular have
they become, that Of the Number
One" alone, as many as fourteen mil
lions are sold annually.
Complaints are constantly made of
the difficulty an getting good ink.
Probably, in some cases, the durability
OF the ink is of little consequence
the writing has done it's work in an
hour or two; but, at should be remene-
bered, occasions constantly arise which
give great Importance to aOritings, or
perhaps to the mere signature of a
name. The usual inkstand is, of
course, resorted to, and if an inferior
INK IS commonly used, the result pos
sibly may be disastrous.
The Spencerian Writing Fluid COM
bines, in high degree, these essen
tial qualities, .t3atidity, color and datra-
bitity, and is absolutely reliable for
all business purposes.
The proprietors Of these well-known
Pens and Inks, Messrs. IvIsoN, BLAKE
MAN, TAYLOR, & Co., 753 & 755 Broad
way, New York, Educational Publish
ers, will send free, on application,
sales-book of their Spencerian Spec
lalties, which gives full descriptive
list of these and many other standard
articles of interest to stationers and
booksellers.

Another vindication of the faith
cure" Joseph Fidel-and we have no
right to question his Fidelity to the
truth-was a cripple, as the quack
doctors would say ''of long standing"
He was compelled to walk upon
crutches. During his terrible suffer-
ings he was advised to go to a certain
church and pray for restoration to
health. Entering the church he
prayed for five hours, when he was
suddenly and miraculously restored to
perfect health. He declared that he
''had peculiar sensations, and the
clothes fell from around his body"
This is wonderful, and a skeptical
world can no longer doubt a faith cure
which actually shakes the linen off of
man or woman in the public Church.
But we would not recommend this
remedy altogether. A remedy which
restores man at once, in the place Of
public worship to the fullness of health
and the scantiness of wardrobe of our
ancestors in Eden, is, to say the least,
not a polite remedy to apply in
public.

The Fairy Trumpet !


Along the valley, up the hill,
Or leaping from the topmost hight,
The merry sounds, enchanted, fill
The moments of the Summer night.
The echoes tremble far and near,
And round the heart in sadness play,
Ringing, in measures soft and clear,
A requiem for departed day.
Hear the fierce 'charger' in terror fall,
As when the columns forward spring.
Now hear the soft and sweet "recall"
OF Elfland bugle, answering.
Now swell the measures, wild and free,
And over hill and valley sweep,
AS through the camp the ''reveille''
Disturbs the calm and peaceful sleep.
Now the soft measures wait along
From distant sea, in tones sublime,
Where many a mortal vessel, strong,
Is wrecked upon the shore of Time.
Fall in!'' floats softly on the breeze,
1t rides the silver-crested wave;
1t comes across the gloomy seas,
From comrades lips beyond the grave.
Above, the listening soul may hear
The measures floating from the skies,
And to their music, sweet and clear,
The quick responsive soul replies.
The fairy trumpets lead us on,
Toward glad, immortal day
Where, in the light of endless dawn,
The merry sounds forever play.
There, in the bivouac of Peace,
Where streams of light and beauty flow,
The soul may rest, nor ever cease
To hear the phantom trumpets blow.

Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, of
England has fully demonstrated the
fact that even the greatest minds, ca
pable of unraveling the most intricate
legal problems, sometimes fall victims
to their own innate weakness, in deal
ing with the wicked forces that play
about the social world. The Justices
daughter married, some time ago,
and the old gentleman got so mad
that he Indignantly refused to go to
the wedding. But now it comes to
light that the man Of law has been
for some time pleading his own case
with an American woman by the
magnificent name Of "Amy Augusta
jackson Lawford.'' So far did the
Justice 60 in his pleadings that the
lady threatened to prosecute him for
contempt unless he should render
proper satisfaction to the Court. In
other words, she would sue him for
breach of promise. The children of
the learned Judge strenuously opposed
his little love affair, but, a few days
ago, the American lady summoned
him to appear, which he did, with the
necessary attendants, and the pair
were quietly married So the Lord
Chief Justice is now subject to the or
der Of the Superior Court" The old
gentleman now chuckles over the good
joke he has played upon the children,
and rejoices that he has been so fortu-
nate as to secure an American wife.
And we'll he may.

ways to the ga-lorious old Democratic
times Of half C, injury ago-to which
we call especial attention. Mr.. Davis

take in attributing these masterpieces
to him. They are written by Mr..
John FL. Mackley, for sometime past
editor of the Standard, a most worthy
son of grand old Radical daddy.
The Wellston Argus, in its account
Of the funeral services at the Fair

John Mackley's beautiful dirge on

now sung by the choir. There is NO
discount ON Johns poetry but this
dirge couldn't be told from produc-
tion Of Tennyson set to music by the

What OF Enthusiasm
WILL The DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS
BE ABLE To EXPLAIN (?

During all the political campaigns
of the last twenty-four years the
Democratic politicians have conducted
their campaigns from the standpoint
Of minority party. 1t has been al
easy matter for them, in dealing with
certain classes of voters, to uphold the
doctrine that all unfortunate business
conditions were to be traced directly te
the work Of the party in power. In
this matter as well as all others which
they have been called to consider, the
Democratic politicians have displayed
great lack of foresight. They were
not capable, seemingly, Of looking
beyond the joyful consummation of
one Democratic victory. They taught
their voters by fnely-spun but
coarsely presented theories, not max
ing preparation to meet the cold, stub
born facts which have been forced
upon them.
They painted with much fire and
pathetic coloring, the wickedness of
the Republican bond-holders, and
compared with this the miseries of i'm
provident Democrats. This deplora-
BILE condition of things was never to
be changed until the wicked Repub-
lican party was hurled from power by
suffering and tax-ridden people. To
elect a Democratic administration
would place the country in better
condition in every way.
So much for theory. Now for fact.
We have Democratic National ad-
ministration, and a Democratic ad-
ministration in Ohio. The voters
who eagerly looked forward to the
change, for betterment Of their con-
dition, are looking yet. The Demo-
cratic administration has ushered in
one Scriptural doctrine: "from him
that hath not shall be taken away
even that which he hath The poor
man who voted for a change now
wishes, to use worldly phrase, that
''the Devil had the change" The
Democratic party comes before the
people this year in the light Of the
good old Democratic times. The
people can feel the Democracy, on all
sides. Actual observation assists the
eloquent Democratic orator in paint
ing these beauties, and gnawing
stomachs keep time, by their throb-
bings, to the music Of the brass bands
and the shout for the Democratic
candidate. Here we are, on the way
back to the good old Democratic days,
and we are rapidly approaching our
destination. Come along, Democratic
friends, and tell us how you like the
Situ atiOn
