McoIlREHENslBILIYY.

That's a pretty big word, but
we select it purposely to throw
at the unlntelligihility of the Ga.
ze tie, editor.
Referring last week to the state.
ment of the Sentinel that Gin.
cinnati had at the last election
gone probably Republican, The
coolly asks US what we mean by
the remark probably Republi-
can"
Our cotemporary can have the
use of Our dictionary. AS a smart
editor once remarked 10 another
fellow: 1--WE can give the idea,
and loan the dictionary, but on
ly Providence can furnish the
talent of comprehensibillty."
As an aid 10 his recovery from
somndency and dementia(tough
ones these), we might say that
to speak of the Governor, we
would say he is 'probably Re-
publican" TO characterize the
penitentiary management, we
would use the language Of broth
in in law Bundy, and say it is
"evldently Republican," With
these remarks as pointers, and
our dictionary, and with the help
of Providence, the Gazette may
come to understand what the
Sentinel says.

How the New NIexicans Capture Ants

An automatic combination self-adjust-
ing ant trap and intoxicating machine
has Been in use. for years in New Mexi-
90 and Arizona, which is worthy OF
careful civilized attention. The CHIEF
blessing of that arid section is held to
be n,escal. fiery liquor distilled from a
species of cactus, and the principal curse
is an immense black ant that considers
himself proprietor of any promises to
which his nest may belong. 1t is said
that the natives could not live without
either the mescal or the ants, for while
it is only ,nescaI that can make Mexi-
cans life endurablc with tho ants, it is
only the ants that can wake a Mexican
from the profound coma into which the
naescal plunges him.
The ancient Mexican method of try
ing to get rid Of an ants nest was to
fill up the main hatch with fine gun
powder and touch it of, keep fire boil
ing over it night and day for week, or
drown it out with boiling lye. The
only result was that tho ants would stay
down cellar until tho trouble was over,
and then cheerfully repair the damage
done to their dwelling, and "lay for''
the Mexican in the silent watches of the
night with a vigor and alacrity that
were truly awful.
One day desperate Mexican poured
q quart of mescal down his throat and
buried the bottle in the center of the
principal ants nest in his yard, with the
Intention of filling it with gunpowder
and blowing both himself and his ene-
mics out of the Territory. Having bur-
ied the bottle to it's neck, he went to the
traders to goG the! powder. When he
returned, hc found that tho bottle was
filled with ants. whom curiousity had
prompted to drop in, and who. unable
to climb out. were indulging in rough
and tumble FREQ fight that did the Mex
leans heart no end Of good. Another
bottle was quickly procured and filed,
and by sunset tho Mexican found him.
self proprietor Of seven quarts Of ants
in various stages Of mutilation and
wrath. 10 shake these into bonfire
was .sy. and thus in day the colony
was broken up forever.
The writer has seen two pounds OF
rife powder rammed into an ants nest
and provo ineffective in its destruction,
while by the bottle system the work was
thoroughly accomplished in less than u
week by tho capture Of tho last ant In
the community.

Prof. Gray, tho veteran botanist Of
Harvard college. recently received from
friends, writes a correspondent, u beau.
tiiul vase, in con,memoration Of his
seventy-iifth birthday. This morning
each Of the persons who gave toward
the vase received q charming note of
recognition from Prof. Gray, who alludcs

with his name or with his special studies,
which were embossed on tho vase. Con-
nccted with one 6f these. the Shortia
galacit tolsds there as romance from o
botanist's point Of view.
A good many years ago the doctor
was studying in Paris, and in herbar-
ium there came across o small. broken,
and imperfect specimen, marked simply
"From Amcrica,n = which interested him
much. From the fragments before him
he reconstructed the whole plant His
work was approved by the botanists
about him, and he named the little plant
Shoytia Galaciolia, in honor Of DR..
Charles w. Short, tho distinguished
botanist. But no live specimen of the
aplant could be found Years passed on
and 1t never had been seen. At last q
botanist at work in Japan found and
named plant which seemed to be Of q
genius closely allied to the Shortia. DIR.
Gray corresponded with the botanist
and it was concluded that the doctor
had been in error, and had mistaken
specimen of the Japanese genus. So
the Sh0rsia was generally left out of lists
of plants by systematic botanists.
But twenty years after this as DR..
Goodale and Prof. Watson were one day
in the library at the university, they
heard shout Of triumph from the
herbarium, and rushed in to find DR..
Gray waving small plant about in the
widest enthusiasm.
'Look at it! What is itp" he cried.
. The two botanists examined it as di.
rected; and recognized the character.

had been brought in from some hither.
to unexplored nook in the mountains by
one of their collectors and sent to the
professor for Identification. 1t proved
indeed to be the Shortia, which was

floral family, greatlyto DR.. Gray's de-

A correspondent writing from
Cleveland, O., saws:
On several mornings during
the past week the air in this city
has been thick with a blueish
fog issuing from the earth. Its
presence is regarded by persons
conversant with its previous ap.
pearance here as omnibus of an
approaching epidemic Of cholera.
II is singular fact, cited by
tl.ose who went through the chol-
era plaques of 1866 and earlier
years, that this same blueish fog
has always preceded an outbreak
of the dreaded scourge, and it has
not been in this city until this
week since the last cholera cpl
demic. Scientists here whose at.
tention has been called to the
fact believe that conditions fav.
orable to tho creation of this fog
are favorable to the spread of the
cholera contagion.

Looking at the Lofty.
PEzR1sa THROUGH THE RIFT.

Canon Willard, in the Gazette
last week, says "in the riffs of
the breaking storm" he sees Sam
Crouch.
It is a cultivated delusion that
the parties observable through
riffs of storm cloud, are inhabi-
tants of the lofty armament. The
Archanael seen by the Canon of
the Gazette is new one to us.
We hope our esteemed cotem-
porary is not writing delusion.
1t does US good to know that he
saw through. the riffs and saw
Sam Crouch. But in writing
about Columbus elections. he
must be sure he saw Sam Crouch
through the rift, and not try to
play st. John of Ephesus on us
Gen.iles.

Editor Elliot.

There seems to be q disposition
on the part of Columbus Phara-
sees to run Elliot, Of the Capital,
out of church and profession.
We don't by any means agree
with Elliot. That's not the affair
of the public, only his and ours.
The Capital, under E'liot's manage
ment, has done much good. For
that give him credit. Whenever he
has injured any ons, if-he has, Ger.
tainly there are courts of law yet
in Columbus, the proud capital of
our State,in which the injured AMI
aggrieved oan..get justice to themsel-
sand impose proper Penulty on the
offender, be it Elliot, or any one
else.
Not long since, a high State of
fetal, offended by newspaper arti'
cles, pulled his revolver in the
thronged lobby of the principal ho-
tel of tho city, and undertook to
shoot on editor-to shoot Elliot, re-
gardlrss rs to where the bullets
might strike, shot several times.
The Cow Boys of the lawless plains
can do nothing mora damuably des.
perate.
Again on last Sunday, Elliot is
assaulted worse than by blow IN
the tace, by u vile epithet. Elliot
promptly knocked the insalter
down. And now the pharisalcal
people of our sanctifed Sodom, all
howl,n holy unison over this
dissertation of the quiet of the Sab
oath.
. The attempt is being made to
scapegoat Elliot. The purpose is
mean and the trick is not clever
Fair play is due to oil and is due TO
Elliot. When he transgresses law.
or the proprieties of his profession.
punish him to the extremity. But
don't pull rovolvers on the editor,
and shoot regardless of consequent
ces, and don't call him vile names,
inviting a blow.
We are not the apologist of Elli>
OF, not his defender. He needs
neither apology nor defense from US.
But he is entitled to o fair count,
and when insulted by q vile epi-
,het on Sunday, or any other day,
we expect he will knock down his
insulter, and We and lots more OF US
will stand by him, and BY other edi
tors placed in the samo relation
and d ding % he did.

II Wa. An Awful Mess To Be In.

The bridegroom had moved worlds,
80 to speak, to get railway passes for
himself and wife almost al the way to
California. He was n poor music store
clerk who had had the luck to marry an
heiress, and he knew perfectly well he
shouldn't have money enough to spend
a month in California, as the young lady
wished, unless he could get passes to
Ogden. He had friend who was clerk
to railway director, and the thing was
managed. Imagine the situation half
hour before train time when the poor
young man discovered that he had lost
The passes! The bride was getting into
her travelling dress; the carriage which
was to take them to the station was at
The door. The rooms were full of guests
making ready to 60 home. The agonized
fellow searched pocket after pocket in
despair. 1t was luckily that he was al
most alone in dressing-room upstairs.
The few gentlemen who were there put.
ting on their overcoats could not help
smiling at seeing his distressed search,
although, of course, they were very sor-
ry for him. At last, in desperation,
he rushed into the passage, probably
with vague hope of finding q friend
to loan him enough money to help him
through his dilemma, and met his bride
coming out of her room.
':For heavens sake, George! what is
the matter?" she cried, as soon as she
saw his pale face and wild manner.
':Fve lost the passcsr' he answered in
stage whisper that was really blood.

She took it all in in an instant. and
replied: 'Come on, we'll miss the train.

A West Virginia Pilgrim.
PURSELL'S CHIEF OF STAFF
PEDDLING BEAR TRAPS.

A weary, foot-sore traveller ar
rived in The city one day last
week, loaded down with bear
traps. After some questioning
he finally admitted that he was
chief of the State Tribune force
at Charleston, w. Va, and was
forced upon his present pilgrim
age because of PurseII's loss of a
$4,000 check.
1t was a lamentable blunder.
be said, that they had not been
put to better uses at home. II
Pursell had been man OF more
experience, that finished scholar
and eminent jurist. Judge Craw-
ford, would still have been with
dear friends in his adopted State.
So eloquently did this Pursell-
ito discourse upon the excellence
of his goods, that Gus Steinman,
one of the clerks at the Grange
Store, was finally induced to in
vest in a half dozen bear traps.
Gus, OF course, is happy, and why
should he not be! For this 10
the fist time the manag gers Of
the penitenliary ever got left on
a bargain.
This West Virginian was a
pleasant talker and we'll posted
on bear traps.
"The bear trap" he said, 'is
one Of the emblems Of The Lime
Kiln Club. 1t is q symbol Of
strength and q more potent fac
tor in the guardianship OF mans
interests than a snarling cur or a
sleepy sentinel. The bear trap
is a child Of the past. Il was con.
ceived in the waste Of wilder.
.nesses, and its appearance at the
present stage Of the game suggests
the wisdom of its use as a measure
of reform.
Ohio would have been saved
thousands Of dollars If these West
Virginia bear traps could have
been set in the track of junketing
committees sent out at the nod
of demagogues. Bear traps set
along the banks Of the Scioto
River would have been a safe
guard against epidemics at the
penitentiary by use CT stand pipe
water. It would be good in
vestment if Gov. Foraker would
buy and set bear traps
OH the back tracks of ante bel.
lum bondholders, because he
could then catch them
"a comm and q goin'." Bear
traps would be great boon to
the people Of Ohio if they could
be set around the Public Works,
and last, bnt not least: What
joy it would give the intelligent
taxpayer if the present Legisla'
ture could be induced to sit down
upon bear trap.
Bear traps! Young man hang
onto them. If you can sell them
at the penitentiary, it is a. good
market. Ifyou cannot, you will
never realize on the investment.

Governor Foraker.

One day last week, when iii
Columbus, and having leisure
-driffed into--the
Governors Office. The cat can
s,,ook at the King, and a Haw-
e~er may call OH the Governor.
Gov. Foraker is a gentleman
who understands the proprieties
OF his position. Like Judge Ack-
er, Capt. Bowen, Weaver, Nc
Cortney, Notestone, Gallagher,
all of our county officers, he
treats gentlemen who call on
him with polite attention regard
less of their politics. In this he
is truly Governor, as are our
county officers, worthy servants
of the people.
We don't often approach the
throne of the office holder.
Some years ago in company
with q brother editor. we made
bold to visit the Governor. We
first had to run a guant.et of half
a dozen black and tan dndish
darkies, who sniffied at our CON-
plexion, and gisglcd at the cut Of
our clothes. The Governor, when
discovered. was surrounded by a
cheval de frise Of Cincinnati brew
ers, and !; took time. patience.
and enforced humiliation O reach
him.
Ii affords us pleasure TO say
that th- present Governor. ours,
OiIiO's. is not a Grand Lama, q
pretending King Of Congo, nor a
d-Ignified fool. His office is
occupied only by the necessary
clerical help. The gentlemen in
service are polite and civil-Gov.
Foraker is approacls Bile, putting
on no airs, wearing no pretense,
but carrying a manly dignity,
aud bestowing a geDtlemanIy
courtesy.
Mr.. Charley Kuriz. OF Athens,
whom we all know, is private
secretary. and like the Governor
is always glad 10 bsye people Of
Hooking cali. .BI We assure all
who Do. "a hearty welcome and
tD,.'e attention.
