ANNOUNCEMENT.

Mr.. ]. M. Foust, Of Clay Township,
authorizes us to announce him as can.

sioner, subject to the decision Of Repub-
lican Primary Convention.

The Republican Congressional Pri.
mary Election.


The Primary Election held in this
county on Saturday last was ordered by
the executive Committe in pursuance
OF authority to do so, directly conferred
by the Baily Law, and it was conducted
in accordance with the provisions of
tha Law. This statute is contained in
sections 1916 to 1921 inclusive of the
Revised Statutes of 1880 and the recent
amendments to Secs 2917 and 29l9 on
pages 100 and 19l of Ohio Laws of 1886.
A Primary Election under this law to
select candidates for the county ticket
was held in this county about IA years
ago, the candidates being voted for di-
rectly.
The primary system is not so well
adapted to the selection OF candidates
for a county ticket, but Is peculiarly well
adapted to the selection of delegates to
Congressional District Convention for
the reason that it results in sending to
such convention an instructed delega.
ton, instructed by majority of the
people. The ordinary method of secur.
ing an instructed delegation to such a
convention is as follows: The executive
committee calls mass convention and
invites all the members of the party to
attend. Some politician makes out a
list of names and the crowd present
votes for the slate. Aresolution is then
put through instructing such delegation
to support certain candidate, and we
have delegation in most cases of this
kind chosen end instrActed by the politi-
clans living at the county-seat, who are
sure to be in the majority at the mass
convention.
This year the Executive Committee
relegated the whole matter to the people
80 that the delegation chosen might be
one instructed by majority of the Re.
publicans in the whole county.
1t was then supposed that we had two
candidates, Pugsley and Hart, both were
well known to the people Of the county
and it seemed perfectly fair to submit
their respective claims to the Republi.
cans of the whole county and let them
abide the decision Of majority. Gov.
Hart was member Of the committee,
both he and Mr.. Pugsley, who were
present at the meeting Of the Committee
q. which the Primary was ordered, ad.
mittAd that the meth0d adontad waa as
fair to one candidate as the other.
The people were not limited either to
candidates in the county, they could
vote for whomsoever they chose. II
there was no unfairness in the method
what rational objection can be urged
against itf
It il admitted there was no unfairness
and the large vote shows that the people
were satisfied to have the matter left
wholly to their decision.

PunciiliOuSnpsS.

If one were required to sum up in q
single word the most lnfailible and in
variable evidence of good breeding, he
could not do better than to say pune
tiliousness;" and even should he be
confronted with the sheer that to be
punctilious is as characteristic of the
not therefore be shaken from his posi-
ton. Exactitude is a thing which is
learned only by inheritance, or at least
by training from the cradle, and it is in
just appreciation of the comparative
value of TRIES that breeding, no less
than genius, is manifest 1t is the
boor who insists that little things are
beneath notice, and who disregards
conventionalities with a scorn he mis-
calls manliness and breadth, but which
is in reality uncouthness and ignorance.
1t is astonishing how many people in
what prides itself upon being the best
society are lacking in punctiliousness.
OF course everybody replies to invita-
tions, acknowledges courtesies, sends a
note in recognition of holiday gifts
and flowers, because people who are
ill-bred enough to neglect lthese OBJ
SeTNdHCeS are bOOll lelb NllIOub l1NlJa-
tons, attentions, and gifts to acknowl-
edge. Nobody nowadays who pretends
to the most ordinary politeness thinks
of failing to dispatch letter to the
host or hostess whose hospitality he has
been enjoying, and nobody but boor
fails to offer excuses for being late to
dinner, failing TO appear at an appoint
ment, and the like 1t is not to these
perfectly we'll understood and obvious
observances which we allude; the we'll
bred person does all this, but so does
many one whose title to that adjective
is at least extremely doubtful.
The punctiliousness which stamps a
man as a thoroughbred-if the express
sive. though somewhat slangy term may
be forgiven-is an instructive scrupu-
lousness: constant sense that noblesse
oblige makes it impossible for him not
to be exact and faithful in his discharge
OF the claims of others upon him, how
ever slight; an estimate of the value OF
his obligations which makes trivial APP
pointment matter to be scrupulously
fulfilled except for sufficient reason; a
fidelity to his word which renders him

The Agreeable GneSI.

The Swedenborgian theory that each
person has his sphere, which is per-
ceived as an effect of whose cause one
by experimental experience. Cur likes
and dislikes are very largely founded
on matters as intangible as were the
reasons of DR.. Fell. Nowhere is this
truth so strongly felt as when receiving
q guest in tete-a-tete in ones own apart
ment. The friend who is what the
Italians call sim pGtiCd, quality for
which there is no English equivalent,
Is the rarest of blessings. One does
not expect this of the average five hun
dred friends who may yet be very en-
tertaining, and be each warmly re-
garded by the hostess. But there is
type of woman who is the most dis
agreeable of guests, and from whom
one turns away instinctively without
being able to give any very tangible
reason why. Out of sight she may not
be altogether out of mind, nor by any
means outside the circle of ones
friendly wishes for her best prosperity
and enjoyment But in personal pres
ence she Is an irritating and Earring
force. it is the woman who is so crude
and obtuse by nature that she does not
even know she is crude; the woman TO
whom the fine art of conversation
is as unknown as is the sculptor's
power to the stone-mason; the
woman who goes rough-shod over
all your preferences and tendencies,
and is so crude that she never dreams
wherein her rudeness lies. Her con-
versation consists largely in a series of
direct questions, and of the most inap-
propriate conclusions drawn from the
answers she forces from you. Her
presence is like q material weight in
the atmosphere, and OH her departure
you are ready to ring the Joy bells of
relief In delightful contrast is the
agreeable guest, the woman whose cul-
tivation is so fine that it invests her as
with an atmosphere; whose CONVERSE
ton is that of subtle art, so suggestive,
so stimulating, that it opens vista of
all high and delightful possibilities.
Calling upon her you are entertained
not with conventional remarks of wind,
or weather, or social movements, but
with some fine thought suggested at
the moment. Perhaps you have had
an experience OF this kind you will
never lose out of your life. You had
called on a lady whose parlor was in
the hands of the decorators, and whose
paintings and bric-a-brac were, for the
time, removed, with one exception.
On the mantel rested fine French
photograph of Millets picture of the
earth-a stretch of level land, the sun
sinking below the horizon, and in the
far distance a shepherd with his flock.
The picture is new to you, and in reply
to word of comment the hostess ex-
presses her recognition of the subtle
spiritual meaning portrayed in this
work, and you go out from your call
refreshed, uplifted. 1t was only a
word, glimpse, yet it opened to you
new vistas. Such friends are gift of
the gods, and such experiences are
among the endearing influences of liie

which, to the underlined world, seem
too slight to be even remembered. A
martinez, as the term is commonly used,
is q man who is unreasonably punctil-
ious; gentleman differs only in being
strict.
Nor does the punctiliousness of the
gentleman stopwith social observances,
conventional duties, and a fulfillment
of the rules OF etiquette. A man may
be a gentleman, and, for reasons, dis
regard these things. although a we'll
bred man rarely finds himself in cir
cumstances where this is necessary; but
in the more vital matters of kindliness,
respect, and a due regard for the rights
of others, the law of punetiliousness
admits of no suspension. There is no
such thing as being too infinitely care
full of the feelings of others in our
daily intercourse with our fellows; it
is hardly possible to conceive of cases
where in common situations one can be
too punctilious in forbearance, gener-
osity to the opinions or even the preju-
dices of others. 1t is not inconsistent
with the highest and heartiest manli-
ness, it is the flower of culture and of
kindness; and at once the stamp and
vital principle of practical good breed
ing is this chief of all the social virtues,
punctiliousness.- BOston Courier.
