Il OHIO ELECTION.

OF course we hoped the Democrats
would carry Ohio, but we did not tx
pect it. 1t is not a Democratic State,
and last year Blaine carried it by ear
ly $4,000 votes. The Radicals have
carried it this year by about halt that
plurality, and that it is no worse, is
about all we could expect from the
State.
The result cur the return Of Mi.
Sherman to the U. S. Senate, but as be
has always been a prominent leader in
the Republican party, we can endure
him in the future as we have done in
the past. He is a very rich man and a
very shrewd, unscrupulous politician,
and we suppose he will remain in
office until ne dies.
This election, though, will not add
to his Presidential prospects, for it
takes Ohio from among the list of
doubtful States. The Radicals will
undoubtedly nominate a man they
think has the greatest chance to carry
New York, and concede nothing to
Ohio, which may low be considered
certainly Republican.
The result will not improve Cincin-
Southern trade, and if the
shirt issue is raised again
in 1888, the Queen City Of the West
will have to rely principally on the
West for her commerce, for the
people are very weary of

A New England Doctor Suggests How 1t
May BE Prevented.
The sem circular canals of the inter-
nal ears are nowadays pretty well UNI
derstood not to be organs of hearing
but of equilibrium. The sensation they
normally give us is that of change of
direct on and speed in the movements
of our head through space. When
over-excited they gave rise to vertigo
and nausea. A large percentage of
deaf mutes, in whom the canals are
presumably thrown out of function,
are insusceptible of being made dizzy.
OF a considerable number of such deaf
mutes who had been exposed to seasick-
ness, none, with the exception of two
doubtful cases. had ever suffered. All
these facts lead to the hypothesis that
seasickness may arise. in the first in
stance, from the over-excitement of
these sensitive organs, and, finally,
they lead to the practical suggestion
that such over-excitement might be
warded off or allayed by ''counter-irri-
tation' which consists in blistering or
otherwise reddening the skin above and
behind the ear. The experiment is so
simple, and would be, if successful, so
pregnant of relief that it seems shame
it should not be tested by large num-

when every one around me was vio-
lently sick. 1 simply rubbed the skin
behind my ears till it was slightly ex-
coriated. An incipient nauseau, which
l felt at the end of the first half hour,
completely vanished as the sensation of
cutaneous burning became strong. In
crossing the Atlantic was less success

anomalous. its principal symptom be-
ing high fever and no nauseau, and /
do not consider the failure to be refu-

OLD NEWSPAPERS.
The Curious Business of q Metropolis
Negro.

The Curious Business of a metropolitan
Negro.
Having occasion the other day to
search for some copies of daily news
papers of a certain date in 1875, l was
not surprised to find that at the offices
of the newspapers 1 could buy no cop
les. Not one of the great dali es could
furnish copy of the date which l
needed, but was referred in every case
to a man named Robert Budd, formerly
bootblack, who makes a business of
dealing in back numbers of newspapers.
I found him, and in half an hour had
the papers.
Budd's history, or rather that of his
business. ispecular. He is a coal-black
negro, with an intelligent face and a
remarkable faculty for estimat ng the
value of his wares. Although he has
regular price list, his prices vary ac-
cording to what he thinks may be the
value of the paper to the would-be
buyer. Some months ago there was
law case which required the present.
ment in court either of a certain news
paper or of certified copy of an arti
Gle covering several pages in small
type. Budd was the only man in the
CITY WHO COuIu The pdpGT, ut
asked 800 for it, although it was not
him but two cents, and the sum was
paid, for the certified copy would have
cost still more.
Five years ago Budd had boot
| backing stand on Broadway, near Thir-
tieth street, and at the same me sold
newspapers. He was struck with
the number of demands made upon
him for copies of newspapers two
or three days, or week. or even a
month old, and he had the idea of add
ing to his business that of old news
papers. That there is demand for
old newspapers is amply shown by the
business he has built up. At present he
occupies a large cellar. the walls of
which are lined with newspapers tied
up in bundles, each bundle containing
the copies of one month of each paper.
There is tag attached to each bundle
giving the months of the year.
As he still keeps up his newspaper
stand he of course gets his papers at
| cost price, and when a person really
| wants paper there is fine chance for
profit. Every day Budd puts away
| twenty copies of the The Herald, twenty
copies of The San, ten of the Wortd,
Times, and Tribune each, and five
copies of each of the evening news
papers. His schedule of prices is sup
posed to be as follows: For papers
three days old, double the price; for pa
pers week old, ten cents; for papers
month old, twenty-five cents; for pa
pers a year old, 81; for papers more
than a year old, $l.25 add tional for
every year. But. as 1 said before, this
schedule is no guide in case Budd dis
! covers that the paper is of great inn
