There Is said TO be a superstition attached
to the Goddess of Liberty that stands silently
on the dome of the Capitol Though it is not
widespread, it is said to be deeply rooted i'll
some minds. Had congress decided to gild the
goddess, it would perhaps have been found
difficult to get any one to undertake the task
1t is well known that when the dome was
thoroughly painted, several years ago, the
painter who worked about the goddess lost
his reason, declaring that she had life and
was possessed of the spirit of the Virgin. At
a certain hour in the morning, very near the
moment of sunrise, there is one ointin the
head-dress of the statue that reflects back the
light, appearing a star. 1t is only for a
short time that il can be seen Every morn
ing this ensnared painter would kneel i'll front
of the Capitol and worship the star crowned
goddess as long as the star was visible. 9th
ers are said TO have come under the influence
of this brOnzed goddess, and have imagined
that she exercised some mysterious power
over them. Some imagine, it is said. that
should they look too often at the star that
shines on her forehead at morn, they might
suffer the fate Of the poor psinter.-W ashins

The accusation by democratic papers that
the scandal against Mcbride, democratic
candidate for the Office of secretary of state.
originated with republican newspapers, is
grossly false. The suit against Mcbride
was brought by NiSwander. a Columbus
democrat and wurkingman, and the first ap-
pearance of report OF the scandal appeared
in democratic newspaper. As a matter of
course it was copied in republican news
papers, but they invariably printed what
Mcbride said in his defense and few if any
gave much credit to what Niswander said,
He being democrat his evidence was not
considered above suspicion. This scandal,
what there is of it, is a democratic scandal.
about democrat and coming from demo
crat 1t is Bourbon family affair and the
BOurbons must fight it out among themselves
and quit lying about republican newspa-
pers: that is 10 say, if they can quit living.

The Columbus Dispdtch, an independent
mot a regular republican, paper, says:
The Springfield parishioners of Rev. Dr.A. B
Leonard, after long endurance Of neglect al
his hands while prOclalming political prohibi-
ton, have found IL necessary TO sever their
connection with him. They valued him as a
preacher and esteemed him AS a man, but they
rebelled against his neglect of pastoral duties
for politics.
The GIoBE-REPUBLIC has been very
frank and outspOken in its condemnation of
Dr. LeOnard's political campaigning. while
assuming to occupy the position OF church
pastor. but We always intend 10 be fair to-
ward political opponents, even if they do
occasionally aSSail us furiOusly. and we
must now defend the Doctor from an unjust
inference. The Doctor has left Central
church under the provisions of the Metho-
dist statute of Notwithstanding occupied
its pulpit, when he wasn't off making pOlit-
ical speeches, for three years-as long as
Methodist law allows him. So the people
did not find it necessary to sever their
connection with him." But with the closing
portion Of the Dispdtch's editorial, given
below, we take no issue. 1t says:
But whether he leaves Ohio or stays within
her border. his Springfield experience ought TO
teach him that. So long as he is engaged In out
side work, he ought not TO accept pastorate
IL political prohibition is worth anything il is
worth all OF his time.

The Cincinnati Times star, of Tuesday
evening, says:
A joint debate between Dr. Leonard and
Francis Murphy would aEitate politics a little

No doubt such debate would draw i'm

MuTphy'S business to conduct gospel tenn
perance meetings and 10 win men from
drinking habits. This is what he is fitted
for. We do not think he would believe it
10 be his duty to carry on dispute with Dr.
Leonard about partisan politics. He could
not convince the Doctor that he is wrong.
An angel from heaven couldn't do it.
Neither could the Doctor convince Murphy
that lie is not doing just the right thing.

At the republican judicial convention,
held in Dayton. Tuesday. at which eleven
counties Franklin. Madison, Shelby, Mont
gomery. Clark, Greene. Preble, Champaign.
Fayette, Darke and Miam-werr repre-
>ented, {. {. Shearer, esq, OF Nenia, was
nominated on the nineteenth ballot, the
vote standing-Shearer, 9S: Charles Il.
White. of Springfield, -; and Judge ID. {.
Wright, of Troy, Is. The friends of Judge
White made a gallant, goOd-natured fight
for him and stood by him, faithfully, 10 the
end. On the seventeenth ballot his vote
ran up to 81 and he then seemed certain Of
receiving the nomination. Finally, Mr..
Shearer was declared 10 be the nominee of
the convention, and the nomination was
made unanimous amid great enthusiasm
AIr. Little is the law partner of Hon.
John Little. and is gentleman of char
acter. standing and good qualifications.
The Dayton Journal speaks of the can
didate as follows;
Mr.. Shearer. the nominee is a native of
Greene county. and is about forty SlN years
old. He had been prosecuting attorney TWEEN
Sy-fSe years. and for twenty years of that per
iOd was the law partner Of the distinguished
John Little. The earneStneSS with which he
WAS pressed by Mr.. Little. Judge Munger, and
other leading members of the bar with whom
he has practlsed, as well as the good opinion
expressed Of him in various parts Of the cir
cult. are sufficient testimony To his qualifica-
tiOns for the diGnined and responsible office
for which he has been nominated. As the re
publican majority in the circuit Is between
3,tJO and 4.ODI, his election is as certain as he
lives.
The Massillon independent, published at
McBride'S home, says that Mcbride nmds
bitter opposition among the laboring men
of his own county and opposition of the
most pronounced character among the
miners of that section. In reproducing this
from the Independent. the Sandusky
Register strengthens the Independents
statement by showing that last year and in
1883, when Mcbride was a candidate for
the legislature he ran behind the regular
democratic candidates on the state tickets.
and was really elected by plurality votes.
This dispOSes of the Cleveland Plain Deal
er's claim that Stark county had repeat
edly hOnOred' him without regard to
party" The Register shows that he ran in
1881 and was defeated by a republican ma
jnrity of S75 votes. So it will be seen that
Mcbride is unpopular in his own demo
cratic county where he is best known. and
where he has not been able. during the past
four years, 10 command the full vote of his
party.

myself, had seen this a 1000 times be-
fore no sooner had the dancers advanced
than the attention of everyone was en-

heads gradually back until they almost
touched the ground, then they raised

they sank down upon their knees, still
quivering in every muscle. until al
length they lay proven on the ground.
For some seconds they remained there
quite m~otionless, as though animation
were entirely suspended The first sign
of returning life was to move the heads
from side to side. the quivering motion
recommences, and the dancers assume
their upright position and break into q

In your dressing you have soft
cold water and a sponge, probably placed
there over night, so that it is in the
morning of the same temperature as the
air; then you have q nice, soft Turkish
washing glove and a piece of plain Cas-
tile or ivory soap-not scented; that
were dangerous to health; then standing
before a basin OF hot water the whole
body is quickly lathered and rubbed
thoroughly. This ought not to occupy
more than say three minutes, and after
this m the cold sponge bath, which
need not take more thar a minute and
a half. A moderately coarse towel
should be used. and the skin should be
thoroughly dried. Remember that the
towel must not be rough enough to irri-
tate the skin, but only to produce a
pleasant glow; remember, too. that there
must be no d~awdling over the bath
dawdle IS much as you please while
dressing. but battle with j%udicious celer-
ity; and remember. thirdly, hat you
must never neglect to wet the head with
cold water. else disagreeable sensations
will be the result.
The bath is to be taken on an empty
stomach, and Immediately after getting
out Of bed. The slight shock caused by the
cold water will be succeeded by feelings
very delightful, indeed, feelings which l
might describe il l chose, but will not.
as l want you to experience them.
There are sponge baths and plunge baths
and shower baths. all OF which may be
takent at home; but for all forms OF
household bathing commend me to the
