MR. EDITOR. the columns of
your valuable paper, we recognize the fact
that the masses are easily reached. AS long
as we have the press as means OF COM
munication, we have powerful social agent.
By its means we are enabled to reach society
and correct many abuses, socially, suppress
crime and immortality, and right many
wrongs. While we have been confined here
by poor health, we at all times by our pen
aided by the press, endeavored to ameliorate
some of the hardships of life. For one GER
tainly sees much of the hard side of life in
place of this kind. The fact that we have
been trying to benefit the poor creatures, is
sufficient reward for us. There are many
here, who cannot be benefited outside of this
place. Some are blind, some crippled with
the inirmaties of old age, some have fits,
some weak minded and some idiotic and
must remain here during their natural lives,
as they are dependent upon the bounty of
the county for support.
Bya squib given by us a couple of weeks
ago in your paper, by bringing the children
before the people, we have been the means
of securing homes for several of the children
in nice respectable, responsible families,
where they may be trained and educated and
make respectable men and women. There
are several little boys here that should find
good homes among the good people OF little
Henry. There are no more little girls here,
the last little girl was given to Mr.. and Mrs.
Dickson, living near Hamler. being sweet
little Lizzie Bowlus. She was born here, is
about Is months old, and she was the pet of
Poga. She is a lovely little child, bright and
smart. She now has good home in a nice
respectable, responsible family who are able
to raise and educate her. This is the second
little orphan that they have in their family.
God bless threse two dear people and may
they live to raise these little hapless orphans,
enjoy them in their old age, as they have no
children of their own. Many tears were shed
over the departure of this dear child. This
is certainly charity. Charity is religion.
Without this our professions are as the trlll-
ing toot on an "E'' fatal wind. Her moth
er, now freed from the care of her infant,
desire to obtain employment in some good
family, where she can support herself. Any
one calling soon, and in need of help can
secure her services.

WRITTEN BY REQUEST, IN MEMORY OF OUR DERART-
ED BROTHER.
Our brother is not dead he g only sleeping;
He but obeyed his loving Masters call,
We soon shall put aside this care and weeping,
And watch and wait to meet him, one and all.
And Obi how we shall miss him when we gather,
As we have often done in days gone by,
With loving hearts and light we met each other,
without thought to sorrow or to sigh.
Our circle will not be complete without him,
He, our advisor ever kind and true:
Was ever ready In time of trouble
With willing hands he sought what he might do.
His life though short was one of ceaseless telling,
OF trials, troubles, sickness and of care
But through it all, he never once recoiling,
Fought on-till Jesus called him-over there
And now we look to God to keep and guide us,
Till we like him. life's battles have fought through,
And ask him in his mercy to abide us,
And keep us to our promise ever true.
God be with his companion in her sorrow,
Helpher we pray, this trial sore to bear,
Help her to feel that tits but as tomorrow,
That she shall meet and know him-over there,

Col. Poorman, one of the leading Re-
publicans of the House, writes as fol-
lows to his paper, the Bellaire Iribnne:
"The appropriations asked for ex-
ceed the estimated revenue by a mil
lion and a quarter of dollars, and after
being put down to the lowest possible
point by the committee on finance,
will exceed the income by fully $780,
900, and the Lord only knows how
much a combination of the canal, In
termediate PeniteDtiary, Soldiers
Home and other interests will add to
this.
Last year, ip the midst of political
campaign, 1t was announced that the
Treasury. was bankrupt. AS early as
October the revenues that would have
run the State were exhausted and the
States credit was only saved by OBJ
tanning advances, not clearly warranted
by law, from Republican County
Treasurers, before they had collected
the taxes payable IN December. Now,
with more than 100000 added to the
deficiency, as indicated above, every
dollar of the June taxes will be exhaust
ed before the August settlement, and
before it will be possible to draw a dol
lar of the December payment there
will be more than $500,000 Of State
warrants afioat without dollar in the
Treasury to redeem them.
You can readily see that this will not
be very auspicious condition under
which to enter political campaign
even In Presidential year."
When Democratic speakers and
papers made statements similar to the
above, last fall, they were denounced
as Democratic lies.

The movement for change in the method
of capital punishment from hanging to an
application of private thunderbolt, is TAX
ing on strength and prominence that prom
ises to speedily force Legislative action. A
bill is before the New Jersey Legislature,
providing the methods and means of execu-
ting capital convicts by electricity, and in
New York something of the same kind is get
ting into working order, while the press of
the whole country is debating the advantages
of it, with scarcely single dissenting word
from the general tone Of approval. So far as
we can see, the only obstacle is the obstinacy
of adhesion to old fashions. The method is
painless and complete, and easily made
secret and silent, SO as to avoid all chance of
attracting public interest, or gossip. And in
this regard, if there were no consideration
affecting the criminal himself, the execution
by electricity would be preferable even to the
present well-guarded method of ofhanging.

Lucky 1888,

Perhaps it has never occurred to you
that years with three eights in them
are lucky years. They come only once
in a thousand years, but it is lucky
person who lives to see one of them.-
There is an old Chaldean superstition
that a year with three eights is one of
unlimited blessings. None but lucky
stars are in the ascendency, fields bios
som with abundant harvests, the cattle
are lowing on Il Thousand hills, shep-
herds lead their fiocks through green
pastures and by still waters, all busi-
ness enterprises prosper, everything you
touch turns to gold, want and famine
skulk into their hiding places until
these days of universal prosperity are
over, pestilence seals his lips and no
foul breath poisons the atmosphere.
mirth holds high carnival, and for
twelve months sorrow and signing flee
away.

There died in the northern Ohio insane
asylum, the other day, woman from Co
lumbiana county, who, 40 years ago, was one
of the handsomest ladies in the State. She
was the daughter of a quaker gentleman, liv-
ing near New Lisbon, who was one of the
highest respectability, generous, indulgent
parena. His daughter married out of his
lar habits. The quaker girl for while en-
deavored TO reform her husband, but un-
successfully. In order to drown her grief
and sorrow she began to drink, and by and
by became fallen and depraved creature.
Her sons grew up to be bad men, and in a
drunken brawl in saloon which she was
keeping one of her sons killed his brother
and the murderer is now in the Ohio peniten-
tiary for life. The mental faculties of the
woman finally gave way and she was sent to
the asylum, where her troubled life ended

ALL HOPE ABANDONED.
The Crown Price is n Dying Man.

BERLIN, March 3.-The imperial
family has ceased to hope for the re-
cOvery of the Crown Prince. The first
results OF the micrOscopical examina-
tion by Professor Waldmeier as COM
municated to the Emperor were un-
favorable. Apart from the results of
the examination, the court dispatches
confirm the progress of the symptoms
tending toward a fatal issue. An oc-
casional appearance of improvement is
followed by renewal of the gravest
indications. The decrease in his
strength has caused q saddening change
in his aspect, and has transformed him
from robust into an aged and debili-
tated man, obviously suffering.
The conflict of reports does not
weaken the fact based upon absolute
information that in the highest official
quarter every hope has been abandoned
of recovery. No immediate crisis is ex-
pected, but it is recognized that sud-
den change for the worse may occur at
any moment, involving death if the
disease should he permitted to run its
full course.
The Crown Prince may be able to re-
turn to Berlin in May, and pass his last
days there. If he is fated to die sud-
denly at San Reno, he has everything
ready. He has written his will and
prepared a political statement for his
successor.
The tone of several of the German
papers is hostile to DIR. Mackenzie. The
Madgbourg Zeit,ng declares the Ger
man people owe nothing to DIR. Mac
kenzie, that the fact that the Crown
Princes life is still preserved is solely
owing to Drs. Bramann, Bergman and
Schrader.
