The EkaC cuS71 HaIld d =

Nearly two years ago "a few young
men reor"anized baud under many
disadvantages, having no professional
instructor, they struggled through tlie
rudiments, surmounting many Obsta-
cles, until but few bands attempt Ia
play the classic selections readily exc
cuted by our little band.
These young men have purchased
their own instruments, music and in
structions, paid for rent, gas, fuel sc.
themselves, have played for all Church
8. S. and Temperance occasions, when
called upou, freeof charge, have given
eleven open air concerts in the Park,
and have never received a cent by
subscription or otherwise from the
citizens of Ravenna. Were employed
once since their organization, by the
Democrats, to furnish music for the
jollificatiOn, for which they received
pay for their services. During this
period foreign and inferior bands have
been employed on four occasions, and
at increased prices. Furthermore, as
an encouragement, perhaps, and as
an expression of appreciation of their
musical attachments and noble efforts
to maintain band in Ravenna, they
were barred, when only eight months
old, from competing for prizes at the
band tournament July A, 1885, and not
invited to be present. Again, they
were ignored by the Agricultural So
ciety, but were employed to play one
day by S. n. Andrews, and paid by
him from his private exchequer. They
were not otherwise asked to be present
nor was any attention paid to them
whatsoever, except when the cattle
were being displayed a Marshall re-
uuested them to csc ort the bulls aroun(
the ring.
Again, propositions were made tC
committee of Ct. A. RS. for Decora
ton day, but were by them Informed
"We don't want yeu," then self-com
plscent 1--WE" went about begging ait
from citizens not members of thei
| order, for the purpose of employing
band, neclecting, however, to inform
subscribers what band was to be EN-
E ployed.
r Hiram, Windham, Mantua, Streets

THIS, wednesday, evening, June
2, it officially given out, will see our
bachelor President made a benedict,
and the White House graced fer the
first time by a fair young bride. / is
true PresidentTyler was married while
in office, but he skipped quietly off to
New York City, and the first the
country knew of his intentions was
when the accomplished fact had been
published. The White House has
seen q number of weddings of wards,
relatives and daughters of Presidents,
but this will be the first Presidential
wedding within its historic walls.

AT meeting of prominent Demo-
Gratis held at Columbus on Wednesday
of last week, Governor Hosdly made
an eloquent speech, during which he
said that the bIackguard who reported
an interview with him while he was
not in the city, in reference to the
Democratic Senators leaving the SEN
ate, was an unmitigated liar. On that
question Governor Hoadly would not
commit himself, as he did not under
stand the whole question, +, but as legal
question. it was his opinion that al
though the Supreme Court was Re
publican, it would not hold that the
laws enacted by the Kennedy revolu'
tioRists were constitutional.

BY request Mr.. ingalls, has intro
duced into the Senete bill prohibit
ing the ownership of more than six
hundred and forty acres of land by
any individual, corporation or family.
A square mile of the earth's surface
ought to be enough to satisfy anyone,
but it will be hard to get any set of
Legislators to agree to a measure limit
ing the ownership of land. Too many
of them want to be land barons them
selves.

THE fact that ex Governor Hoadly,
Hon. George l.. Converse and ex-Sen-

ly denied that they gave opinions to
the effect that the late Senate was a

Republican papers in this State from
continuous lying about the matter.

CLEVELAND PRESS: With COM
mendable propriety the President con-
tinues to veto the personal pension
bills passed by Congress. This may
seem a small business fer the execu
tive to engage in, but in reality it is
of considerable importance to the ma
tional treasury. While it is true that
the mass of men who entered the un-
ion armies during the war were
prompted by spirit of patriotism, it
is equally true that there were Others
who were mere scalawags and hangers
on of the camps. These last we're
usually found in the rear during al
engagement, and were only active
opportunities for plunder offered. The
Press recalls the case of a captain in a
New York regiment, who, in the ear
lier stage of the war, was found by
the regimental surgeon skulking be
hind tree, far in the rear, during d
battle. He pretended to be sick, but
declined medical aid, because, as he
alleged, the services of the surgeon
were needed elsewhere. When Ihe
next fight took place, the surgeon had
occasion to go the rear, and found the
same officer hiding behind a barn.
The latter then confessed that he was
born coward, and begged for Ger
tificate of disability upon which he
| might retire from the service. This
the surgeon compassionately gave,
heard nothing more of the man until
years after the war. He was then in
formed by the pension office that the
ex-captaip had preferred a claim
amounting to several thousands OF
dollars, aud was asked to state the
nature of the would-be pensioners
disability. The answer promptly Civ.
en- was: "Chronic cowardice-" There
are many such men seeking to impose
upon the government. When theil
claims have been sifted and rejected
by the pension office, they fall back
upon Congress, and through the infiu
ence of their respective representa-
tives get special relief bills passed. 1
is against this class that the Presiden
directs his vetoes, and it is to be hopeC
that he will continue to suppress al
similar claims.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The Post
publishes a story, the substance of
which, is that Prof. Alexander Graham
Bell and his associates, DR.. Chichester
A. Bell and Sumner Tainter, have re-
Gently made discovery, and in reIa-
ton to it, have worked out a number
of inventions which they believe to
be not inferior ill importance to the
discovery of the art of telephoning
itself, and the inventions to which
that discovery has led. Chichester A.
Bell has discovered that falling Jet
of water or a flame of gas burning.in
a room mimic echoes and perfectly
reproduces every word spoken and
every sound uttered in the room. DIR.
Bell has found that when a couple of
friends join in conversation in the
drawing room of an evening that the
gas which burns above their heads re-
peats every word they say. Out of this
main discovery, which up to the pres
ent has been kept quiet and carefully
have made quite a number of inven-
tions whereby the discovery may be
put to practice, and the discoveries
themselves, as well as the world at
large, reap the benefit. Prof. Bell re-
CARDS the discovery of the voice in
water as of more importance, ,far-reach-
ing consequences and prospective prac-
tical value than his own invention of
the telephone.

DIR. J. J. JOHNSTON, of Columbiana,
has secured letters patent on piece of
machinery for manufacturing gas from
oil. The Columbiana Globe gives an
account of it as follows:
Every facility was given us to thor
Oughly examine every feature of his
improvement and also the apparatus
he employs for carrying cut his pro-
cess for making heating and iilumina-
ting gas, The doctor explained to us
the theory of his process, which,
briefly stated, consists in resolving the
petroleum into its original and dis
tinct elements, hydrogen and carbon,
and combining these two elements
with oxygen and nitrogen of the at
mosphere, thereby forming a gas by
the combir alton of these four gases
and by this combination or union pro-
ducing gas having great heating and
illuminating power at the marvellous
low price of less than one cent per
thousand cubic feet for heating gas,
and less than two cents per thousand
cubic feet for illuminating gas.
The apparatus for is a very ingenious
device consisting of an air-pump, six
generators, a washer and a holder, all
simple in construction and operation,
perfectly safe, and can be managed by
4 child in the matter OF making gas.
