About the s~illlost objection to the
division and statehood movement
we have yet heard is, that the peo-
pie did not all vote, therefore, the
legislature assembled at Huron had
no right to act, because it did not rep
resent the people-that is because
the people did not al yete. In
1861 at the election only
u trife over half the Voters il the
state cast their ballots. Tfxhib-
lican officers were elected by a trr
fling pluEaaity; consequently they
had no business to act because the
people did not all vote, and, there
70 they, as officers, did not rep
resent the EXPRESSED WILL OF THE
PEoPLEi In 1883 not more than
half the actual voters Of Day county
voted, consequently, tho officers
elected at that time chad no right

ma, has introduced a bill to permit
lieutenant generals Of the army to
retain rs aides-de-camp any officer
they may select, as long rs these
officers remain upon the active list

recently ordered back to their regi-

This was protested against by Gen
erals Sheridan, Hancock and Scho-
field, who argued that the law Civ
ing them the right to select their
vi staa was infringed upon by the
order, but the secretary of war was
infiexible.

The Discovery of saccharine.

Considerable talk has been occasiened OF
late by the discovery of new chemical sub

Fahlberg, of Baltimore, the reputed disepv-

account of the discovery in a recent inter-

study. had worked long time upon the
compound radicals and substitution products
of coal tar, and had made number of scien-
tific discoveries that are, so far as | know, of
no commercial value. One evening | was so
interested in my laboratory that forgot about
supper until quite late, and then rushed off
for meal without stopping to wash my hands.
| sat down, broke piece of Thread, and put it
to nv lips. 1t tasted unspeakably sweet. |
did not ask why it was so, probably because
thought il was some cake or sweatrneat. L
rinsed my mouth with water and dried my
mustache with my napkin, when, to my sur
prise, the napkin tasted sweeter than the
bread. Then was puzzled. | again raised
my goblet, and, as fortune would have it, APP
piled my mouth where my fingers had touched
it before. The water seemed syrup. 1t flushed
upon me that was the cause of the singular
universal sweetness, and / accordingly tasted
the end of my thumb, and found that it sur
passed any confectionery Ihad ever eaten. l

corrosive or poisonous liquid.

A Lawyers Trick Exposed.

A correspondent of the Chicago Times
relates some interesting anecdotes of old
Governor Allen-"R ise-up William AL
len,' one of the most noted and popular
political characters ever produced by Ohio.
One incident is particularly amusing. At
one time Gen. Murphy, celebrated advo-
cate, practised in Chillicothe and Southern
Ohio, the defense of criminals being his
forte. His power with jury was almost
irresistible, and the facility with which he
wept in behalf of his client carried every
body with him.
A notorious horse thief had been indict-
ed at Chillicothe, and, of course, had re-
tanned Gen. Murphy. The prosecuting
attorney secured the services of Allen to
help him convict the rascal if possible.
The evidence was heard and it made a
pretty clear case against the accused. The
prosecutor opened for the State and was
followed by Gen. Murphy in one of his
most eloquent and fearful efforts. The
jury, like the advocate, and large por-
ton of the audience were in tears, but
Allen sat bolt upright, with stony and
dangerous glare in his steel-gray eyes.
When Gen. Murphy had concluded, and
sat wiping away his tears and sobbing,
Allen arose and said:
"Gentlemen of the jury, it seems cruel
to say anything to break the charming
spell that the learned counsel has woven
around you, or rudely dispel the tears that
he has drawn like pearls of humanity from
your eyes. Your tears have been respon-
sive to his, but perhaps had you known
the fountain from whence sprang his tears,
yours would not have welled up responsive.
Gentlemen of the jury, let me show you
the fountain of the learned counsel's tears.
Saying this, he reached over the table
with his io6g arm and hshsd something
out of Gen. Murphy's coat pocket. Hold
ing aloft big red onion, peeled to the
quick, he went on:
Il was aware that the onion was the
symbol of the Egyptian mysteries, but not
until now did | know that it was the sub
stance of Gen. Murphy's tears and mystic
rious power over jury"
The prisoner was convicted without the
s'ury leaving the box, and it was years be-
s den. Murphy got over the clever ex-

; Earning College Expenses.


Are ko persons, VIM. HI. Hills and Moses
And !, demoEc.e-ated few years ago, at
Harvard University, in their own way, a
fact which President Eliot necessarily tries
to impress upon those who are timid about
entering Harvard from fear lest they may
not have money enough to carry them all
through the course. The president says
regularly in the university catalogue, "The
experience of the past warrants the state
ment that good scholars of high character
but slender means are seldom or never
Obliged to leave college for want..of money"
That is to say, with due economy there is
help enough at hand in the way of scholar
ships, prizes, deturs, loans, gifts, ETC., as
well as innumerable opportunities for earn
ing money, as tutoring, copying, stenograph-
ing, journalism, carving, singing and other
means. Messrs. Hills and King earned
their way-the former to some extent by
reporting for newspapers and the latter
wholly BY publishing books. Atgraduation
Hills entered the editorial rooms of the
Boston Globe, where he has remained ever
since, and King established himself as
publisher, in which line he still continues.
while at college Hills got together the
words and music of all the best and most
popular songs that were then current at all
the colleges in America, and King published
them in handsome book form under the title
of "Student's Songs" and this one book has
been SO successful-the sale already reach
ing almost fifty thousand copies-that King
has paid over as royalty to Hills more mon
ey than the entire cost of his college course,
and has enough left in profit to reimburse
himself for all his own college outlay. And
the probability to-day is that this peculiar
and refreshing collection of students
Songs will continue to allure the public
into buying copies of it for many years to

From the Catoctin Clarion.
The Westminster AdUocate entered upon
its twenty-second volume last week. 1t
has been under its present able management
nearly nineteen years, so that what the
Advocate is the Messrs. Vanderford have
made it, and there can be little doubt that
for what it is fully nine-tenths of the coun-
try newspapers in this state would gladly
give handsome premium for the privilege
Of exchanging it for what they are.

THE WEIGHT OF A WORD.

Have you ever thought of the weight of word
That falls in the heart like the song of bird,
That gladdens the springtime of memory and youth
And garlands with cedar the banner of Truth,
That moistens the harvesting spot fthe brain,
Like dewdrops that fall on a meadow of grain,
Or that shrivels the germ and destroys the fruit
And lies like worm at the lifeless root?
saw farmer at break of day
Hoeing his corn in a careful way;
An enemy came with a drouth in his eye,
Discouraged the worker and hurried by.
The keen-edged blade of the faithful hoe
Dulled on the earth in the long corn row;
The weeds sprung up and their feathers tossed
Over the field, and the crop was-lost
A sailor launced on an angry bay
When the heavens entombed the face of the day;
The wind arose, like beast in pain,
Aud shook on the pillows his yellow mane
The storm beat down as If cursed the cloud,
And the waves held up dripping shroud-
But, harki DER the waters that wildly raved
Came word of cheer, and he was-sayed.
A poet passed with song food
Hid in his heart, like gem in q clod.
His lips were framed to pronounce the thought,
And the music of rhythm its magic wrought;
Feeble at first was the happy trill,
Low was the echo that answered the hill,
But jealous friend spoke near his side,
And on his lips the sweet song-died
woman paused where chandelier
Threw in the darkness its poisoned spear;
Weary and footsore from journeying long.
She had strayed unawares from the right to tn
wrong
Angels were beck ming her back from the den,
Hell and its demons were beck'ning her in;
The tone of an urchin, like one who forgives,
Drew her back and in Heaven that sweet word
lives.
Words Words They are little, yet mighty an
brave;
They rescue a nation, an empire save
They close up the gaps in fresh bleeding heart
That sickness and sorrow have severed apart.
They fall on the path, like ray of the sun,
Where the shadows of death lay so heavy upon;
They tighten the earth over our blessed dead.
word that will comfort, oh leave not unsaid.
