one McLyman misrepresents Lucas county
in the Legislature. He introduced bill en-
tirely out of the usual order to deprive the
Republican commissioners of the county of
the power to remove the Democratic superin-
tendent of the in6rmary. Judge Littler
spoke in opposition to it, on the ground that
county officials should have the right to run
their own business. McLymsn decided t"
get even" and this is the way he did il, as
related by the Columbus correspondent of
the Commercial Gazette:
Now for McLymsns spite work. At just
about this time a bill by Mr.. Littler, abolish
ing the office of city marshal of Springfield,
passed the Senate unanimously. 1t had re-
ceived only six negative votes in the House.
The bill is entirely non-poltical, and is uni
versally desired by the citizens of Spring
field. The marshal of Springfield is a
Republican, and has been for twelve years.
But McLyman determined TO get even
with Littler for opposidg his resolution. So
he sneaked among the Democratic majority in
the Senate and induced them to reconsider The
vote whereby Littler's bill had passed, and
he bad the bill referred to his own committee,
that on Municipal Corporations. And then
he had the cheek, when demonstrated with on
his peculiar course. to openly declare tnat he
would prevent the passage of the bill of any
member who opposed him. He will find that
others can play at that game. His conduct
toward Littler's bill is particularly reprehen-
sible from the fact that all during Littler' 1
career in the Legislature he has been notably
free from tsrfjous sr snite nnnosition 10 local

1t is not power, but the balance of
power, that wins.
The best man living cannot give an
undoubted bond for his good behavior
thirty days from date.
Civility is the lowest price we pay
for things. and repentance the highest.
All knowledge begins in doubt. and
much of it ends there.
If mankind had capacity equal to its
malice, we should have no use for the
devil.
My friend, if you want to make peo-
Pile think As You do. let them have their
own way; nothing else will tire them
out so soon.
Hypocrisy and cunning travel to-
sether. and they cant get very far
separately.
The hardest man to shake from the
ladder is the one who mounts a rung at
a time.
Men often climb half way up the lad
der and stay there; but it is seldom
they fall half way down and stop short
of the bottom.
Nature can make absolute laws, but
she can't break the least of them.
Familiarity is not friendship; puppies
end all their frolicS in a quarrel.
The fox carries the bad news. while
the turtle crawlS with the good.
Fame follows us TO the grave,
scratches q hasty epitaph on our tomb
stone. and then hurries away for the
next man.
There is no satire in truth. and vet
man cant tell the whole truth without
being highly satirical.
There are lots of people who never
know anything until they run against
it. and then they know too much.
Fools will bite on anything. like a
frog in = puddle. You can catch them
and throw them back again As soon as
you please.

A man of special and astonishing
ability is sometimes a very provoking
companion. There is no knowing what
he may do with You; and one does not
like to be made TO feel his own weak
ness in that way, in company at least.
Sometimes, however. the formidable
genius is polite enough to offset the an
noyance of his power, as in the follow
ing case:

taire sat like one aStoni>hcd ut this re

last. that he had written that scene as
well is the rest OF the drama. Al last
Lamotte relieved him by saying. When
