A R ON "a nEic incident.

At the regimental reunion of the
lO4th o. V. l. and 7th Battery, at Ny
er's Lake, near Canton, on the 18th
inst, romantic incident occurred
which attracted some 1000 visitors to
the lake. Twenty two ye, rs ago the
10th Regiment participated in the
ly-cOntested battle of Franklin,
Tenn. in which the Union forces were
victorious. Among the rebels captUr-
ed was Captain E w. Watts, Of Mer-
iden, Tenn, who as 3 prisoner became
the special protege of this regiment.
Captain S. NJ. Knapp took his sword
when captured, and after the war
Watts lost all trace of Knapp. Re-
Gently communication was established
between the two, and at the reunion
Captain Knapp presented the ex Con
federate Captain with the sword taken
from Watts when captured. Captain
Watts came especially from his home
in Tennessee to recover his sword.
The scene at the presentation was an
affecting one, aud many eyes were
dimmed with Il ars. Captain Ricks,
of the United States Court at Cleve-
land, made tie presentation speech,
to which Captain Watts feelingly re-
sponded,

LEGAL BRANDS FOR CHEESE.
Cheese factories and dairymen of
Ohio will please examine Sec 4th and
9Th of the late Dairy and Food laws of
Ohio, Vol. S3, Ohio Laws, pages ITS to
iSl, and brand their cheese correctly.
Cur Commissioner Hurst has decided
that, late in the season, cheese may be
manufactured by factories and farmers
once in three days, and leaving only
one mess of full cream milk for the
cheese. 1t may then be sold as
STANDARD" cheese and not be com
PEELED To brand it skim milk cheese
In other words one-sixth of the milk
made into cheese in Ohio Or more must
lie fresh full cream milk. ANY less
than this amount will be considered
an evasion of the law. And to con.
sumers of cheese in Ohio We would
say, that any cheese manufactured in
Ohio, that has branded upon the box,
package or cheese itself the word
" cream" can be relied upon as an
absolute " full cream" cheese /; but any
other fancy brand of cheese, without
the word cream" upon it, they can
be just as certain is only partly skim
med milk cheese, well known to the
trade as " standard" cheese, and fully
nine tenths of all the cheese offered
for sale IN America is of this grade,
1t is barely possible that late in the
season you may find skinned milk
cheese, but our commission have no
faith to believe that box of full skim.
med milk cheese will ever be made in
Ohio or offered to the trade, but that
just enough new milk will be used to
avoid being compelled to brand it
made from SKINNED milk"
Practically our law does not inter.
fere with the cheese factory or gent uine
dairy interests of the State, neither
did they need any legislation except
to prevent the branding of" standard"
cheese "cream" cheese. This they
had no moral right to do, but it is the
universal practice all over the land.
Hereafter our Ohio "cream" cheese
may be known all over the world, as
possessing the highest excellence, be-
cause our law compels them to be ab.
solutely full cream. II. TALCOTT,

DuAeu.
The Washington Republican, in a
notice of the Payne Investigation inn
broglio, administers the following
scathing rebuhe to those vicious Re-
publican fanatics who have been ma
ligning the distinguished Republican
Senators who refused to debase them
selves by abetting the foul Ohio con-
spiracy against Senator Payne, We
would be glad if every honest Repub-
lican in Portage county could have an
opportunity to read it:
"Whiie the case was pending in the
Senate and since the vote was record
ed the country has witnessed the re-
markable spectacle of bitter, vindic-
tive abuse, coarse denunciatiOn, and
wrathful calumny hurled in red hot
torrents at the heads of eminent Re-
publican Senators for no other reason
than their refusal to accept dictation
instead of the results of their own con-
scientious Judgment. Statesmen who
have devoted scores of years to the
faithful service of their country, tried
and true men, whose integrity not
even the most bitter of their political
opponents has ever called in question, ,
men who have won renOWn in peace
and war, and whose fair fame should
be dear to the republic-such men as
these have been arraigned by self-con.
sti,uted judges, and treated with as
little respect as is shown to the crowd
of culprits called up in the morning
in police court.
1--WE do not go too far when we as
sert that the wrong done to Republi-
can Senators, by vile filings and base
insiuuations of doodle and coal
oil,' by hints of character so infa'
nous that their authors dare not put
them into plain speech, is far greater
wrong than has been charged against
! those Demt Gratis who are accused OF
buying up members of the Ohio Leg
islature. The National Republican
has no feeling of malice toward any
man or any set of men in this cOnnec
ton. We realise that hard words
butter no parsnips,' and it is our pur.
pose to speak of this matter with such
calmness and soberness as befit the
subject. But when leaders of the Re
publican party, leaders whom the
people have delighted to honor, sol
diers of renoWn and statesmen of the
best repute-when such as these are
rudely assailed and their names ban
died about the country with Infamous
innuendoes, we feel called to asser
that even bribery may be surpassed in
| wickedness by conspiracy to defame
Senators for daring to do their duty

Shall the name of the metropolis of
the county be changed or not, is the
leading question. Scores of residents
have approved of change during the
past week and press their claims for
so doing. A few persons differ rs to
what the new name should be. Some
favor Brady" or Brady City" in
honor of the iilustrious Indian fighter
Captain Brady, "a brief history of whom
appears in another column. Others
suggest the name ROckland." The
majority, however, favor restoring the
name which years ago designated this
place and by which it is today known
by many persons, Franklin Mills.
There is a possibility of this matter
being submitted to vote, or an oppor-
tunity given all to sign a petition in
the near future,-[ Kent News.

TAKING one consideration with an
other, the lot of the average monarch
is not happy one, and he is neither
to be envied in his life or in his death.
An English lover of statistics has
complied statement of the number
of sovereigns who, within the histor-
ical era, have come to violent or ig-
nominious end, He finds a record of
1859 Kings or EmperOrs who have
reigned oyer seventy four nations. Of
these 800 were overthrown, "a were
dethroned, % committed suicide, %
became insane or imbecile, 100 were
slain in battle, l23 were captured by
the enemy, 25 were tortured to death,
Isl were assassinated, and los were
shot, hanged, or decapitated by their
subjects. The ratio is little more than
one. third of the whole, and in view of
the cruelty, incapacity, and vices OF
crowned heads, in all ages and all
lands, it is surprisingly small.

The increase in the coinage OF silver
dollars during the same period is about
$50, 900, 900, which is less than the de-

New YORK, August 13.-The Herald

Ireland:
AUSTIN, TEXAS, Aug II
To the Editor of the Herald:
You ask my views of the Cutting
case. Cutting has never applied to me.
L may be conceded, if necessary, that
Cutting has been legally convicted
under Mexican law, but the people
and government of the United States
can never submit to such rule of law.
Every editor and every other person
who writes or prints matter in the
United States obnoxious to the views
of Mexican courts, can at any time,
when found i'm Mexico, be arrested
and punished as Cutting has been.
The person of Cutting is il not invOiv-'
ed Surely our government has not
made an idle demand. No one wants
war, and L trust no one wants peace
at the expense of national honor aud
the right OF American citizens The
only way to avoid war is to be ready
for it and show a willingness to accept
il if it must be, Outrages have gone
far enough and have been numerous
enough. JOHN IRELAND,
