1t Does Watter.-We overheard n con-
versation the other day in which an old
deiusion came out, as fresh as ever !:
"Af,er all, il dosn't matter what man
believes il he only does right" We pass
ed on our way, wondering if the speaker
would be willing 10 apply his principle TO
everything except religion. Does it make
no difference in mans business opera
tions whether he belives in honesty or
knavery? Does a man worthy OF suffrage
believe one way and vote another ? And
shall It be said that it makes no difference
to mans character and destiny whether
he believes in virtue; goodness, and right
eousness Does il have no bearing OH a
mans daily life to believe he shall reap
what lie sows? Ia there no inspiration to
right-doing IN firm belief in a just and
mercitul God 1t IN time that the old
fallacy which denies this should he rooted
out. Thinking, feeling aud acting are
connecting links IN our heing. "As Il man
thinks III his heart, 80 il he."-Ez.

They Don't Yute Men In California.
"A private letter from Mr.. Henry P.
Lucas. of San Francisco, Cal, informs
us that his brother, L. P. Lucas, has ar
rived there much improved in health
and has taken an interest in the grocery
bufin,ss with himself. Referring to the
election tickets sent us he says there
were sixteen different tickets in the
fell in California this year that elect
ions are conducted quite differently
there from Ohio elections. There is
policeman at every voting precinct, and
those who do any electioneering are not
allowed to approach nearer than 100 feet
of the polls. He thinks that many who
"work" at the polls in this vicinity
would become disgusted there as they
would undoubtedly trespass upon the
100 feet and get in the calaboose before
the sun was an hour high, from whence
no bail on earth would relieve them for
the remainder of the day. The weather
is delightful there and they are still
wearing straw hats.

The Gas Well.--On Monday evening
the dr.llers at The gas well struck the
Trenton rock at a depth of 1909 feet +.
The lights and the fire in the stove were
extinguished to prevent accident in case
gas should be struck. Indications for
the looked for article not being good,
work was resumed and depth of 1875
feet was reached. At this point work
stopped for decision from the council
as to the advisability OF going deeper
and to give the drillers vacation.
At special meeting of the council We'd
nesday evening it was decided to put tht
well down at least 100 feet to see what
the result will be. This sinking of gas
wells is something like sinking money in
a game of poker-you have got your
money in the jack pot and if you would
save what you have put in you must
stay" We are anxious TO see who
wins in this little game in Perrysbuag
when the "pot" is opened--in other
W ords, when the well is shot.
