full motion. If a small insect like a fly
can Outstrip race horse, an insect as
large as horse would travel very much
faster than cannon ball.
OF all birds, the albatrOsS has, perhaps.
the most extended power of flight. 1t
has been known to follow a vessel for
several successive days without once
touching the water, except to pick out
food, and even then it does not settle. In
describing the flight of this bird from
personal observation, Captain Hutton
writes as follows: The flight of the al
batrOsS is truly majestic, as with out
stretched motiOnless wings he sails over
the surface of the Sea-nOw rising high
in the air, now with bold sweep, and
wings inclined at an angle with the hOri-
zOn, descending until the tip of the lower
one all but touches the crestS of the waves
as he skins over them. | have some
times watched narrowly one of these
birds sailing and wheeling about in all
directions for more than an hour without
seeing the slightest movement of the
wings, and have never witnessed anything
to equal the ease and grace of this bird
as he sweeps past, often within few
yards part of his body perfectly
motiOnless except the head and ye,which
turn slowly and seem to take notice of
everything. Tranquil its spirit seemed
and flOated slow. Even in its very mo-
ton there was rest"

RURAL BURYING PLACES.

Pittsburgh ChrOnicle-Telegraph,
Few sights are more fOrlOrn and for
bidding than neglected graveyard.
The Wilderness of weeds, the rotten
palings, the moss-cOvered and broken
slabs tell a dismal tale of world that
has utterly forgotten the sleepers in
such spot. On the other hand trim
and prettily kept burying ground, with
its neat walks, its flowers and shrubs
and sheltering trees, invites the passer-
by, and the meditations inspired by it if
pensive are not altogether unpleasing.
Death is robbed of some of its gloom
in such retreat. Here one can believe
that human love is not wholly conquered
by the grave. The elegant cemeteries
of the cities are favorite visiting places,
but ostentation and vanity are so often
embodied in stately marble piles in
these enclosures that the heart is rarely
touched.
The rural graveyards that are careful
ly attended are the sweetest resting
places for the dead. Wealth does not
put up its insignia here, and the inscrip
tiOns seem to be written with tears.

NEW MEN TO HAVE A CHANCE.

Special to the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Major Clark, who was discharged from
his position as Chief of Division in the
Land Office, has been treated to piece
of President Harrison's mind. The
Major went up to the White House and
told the President that he wanted vindi-
cation, and furthermore, that the par
tieular variety of vindicatiOn which
would suit his case was reappointment
to his old position. The President in
quired: "How long were you an office
holder?"
Clark replied: about % years"
"Then," said the President, 81 think
that you have had your full share, and
you must step aside and let some other
good Republican and equally capable
man have an opportunity. There seems
to be a mistaken idea that the fight last
fall was to put ex-ofliceholders back
again"
In this connection it is significant
fact that not one old chief of division
has yet been appointed in the Treasury
Department.

THURSDAY, JULY %, 1889.

OUR offer of low-rate campaign papers
met with responses from some of the
post offices of the County. We desire to
express thanks to those of our friends
who interested themselves in the matter,
and to repeat the declaration that in no
other way can Republicans of the Coun-
ty so effec, ually promote the good cause
in the campaign in which they will soon
be engaged.
The rate offered (25 cents each, in clubs
of ten and upward, until after the No
vember election, ought to add one thous-
and names to the subscription list of THE
CHRONICLE within two weeks. That ad-
ditional constituency would be reached
and stirred every week for about fifteen
weeks, at a cost of less than two cents
bly,, the cheapest and best way to reach
the people? Is not the newspaper, 60
ing into families week after week for
more than three months, more apt to
make an impression than passionate ap-
peals addressed to men on the eve of the
election, at one hundred times the cost
The offer is still open, and we hope to
hear from every post office of the County.
Remember: The price is 25 cents for each
in clubs of ten or upward,
from the time received until the week
following the election.
This plan offers cheap, easy, and eff
fective way to reach the people, and the
of the County should avail
of it with spirit

No such season as this has been known
along the Ohio River in the memory of
the present generation. Usually, except
for short period about the time of the
annual June freshet, the river is very
low through the summer; but this season
boatmen have been favored with boom
ing river straight along, floating the big
boats and even coal fleets.

THE shocking disaster at Glencoe last
Saturday night week, by which man
and horse were instantly killed and two
other persons narrowly escaped death, is
calculated to enforce the necessity for
gates and watchmen at such crossings.
A railroad company has no moral right
to send its trains laundering over such
crossings without any safeguards against
such fearful disasters, and it ought to be
forbidden by law. OF course it would
cost the company something to maintain
a safety gate and watchman at such
places. But suppose it doesG People
have a lawful right to cross railroad
tracks, and the company is in duty bound
to use every means in its power to pro-
tect them from injury in doing so. The
company dare not block crossing with
its trains, and has no rights upon it su-
perior to the individual.
In England such disasters as that at
Glencoe are wholly unknown. At every
crossing at grade safety gate is main
tanned, with watehman constantly on
duty. and person can not get on the
crossing with horse or vehicle at train
time, because the gates are down. Why
should not such precautiOn be requir
ed at all crossings like those at Glencoe
and Warnock? ?
The time is at hand when the people
of Ohio will demand greater security
from railroad trains at snch places. Not
withstanding the persuasive influence of
free passes, a Legislature can not brave
an aroused public opinion. and once the
people in dead earnest set about demand
ing greater security from railroads, in
return for the extraordinary privileges
granted them, it is quite certain the Leg
islature will enact the needed legislation.

POSSIBILITY OF PLUTOCRACY.

POSSIBILITY OF PLUTOCRACY.
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
A New York newspaper which is
somewhat notorious for its support of
corporate and mOnopOlistic interests, in
replying to the talk about plutocratic
tendencies of the day, asks the follow
ing question with the evident belief that
it is poser: ''In a country of popular
suffrage how can there be rule of the
rich?"
This is very much like the argument
of Mr.. S. c. T. Dodd, the solicitor of the
Standard Oil Trust, a year or two ago,
which demonstrated, with convincing
legal logic, that as the law of this coun-
try does not permit mOnOpolies, and as
the Standard Oil Company is operating
under the laws of this country, there
fore it was cOnclusively demonstrated
that the Standard Oil Trust could pos
sess no monopoly of the petroleum busi-
ness. Both of them are strongly akin to
the case of a lawyer who, when inform
ed by client of the legal aggressions
of his opponents, assured him repeated
ly that his antagonists could not do
what they had done. The client finally
lost patience, and declared somewhat
wrathfully that, as they had done it,
they could do it; and what he wanted
was to know how to obtain redress.
There can be no monOpolies in this
country if the laws are maintained and
supported in their integrity; neither
can there be rule of the rich if the pop
ular suffrage is preserved in its purity,
and thus made to support the popular
rights. But few such gigantic facts
as the Standard Oil Trust, and the def
ance of the courts and law by the great
combinations, furnish evidence enough
to the effect that such things can be in
this country, because they are.

THE ENGLISH TO THE FRONT.

From the Detroit Journal
Rev. Mr. Baxter, of England, who is
on speaking terms with the powers that

raries by announcing that the end of the
world will positively take place April II,
1891. An English syndicate will probably
buy up all the front seats.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Old woman described in the nursery bal
lad, who lived upon nothing but victuals
and drink" and yet would never
be quiet" was undoubtedly troubled
with chronic indigestion. Her ylctuals,
like those of many other elderly persons
whose digestive powers have become i'm
paired, did MT agree with her. This was
before the era of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. or some one of her numerous
friends and relatives would undoubtedly
have persuaded her to try the great spe-
cific for dyspepsia, constipation and bill
iOusness. This would have been meas
ure of protection on their part, for
she would soon have been cured and
ceased to disturb them with her clamOr.
The most obstinate cases of indigestion,
with its attendant heartburn, tiatulence,
constant uneasiness of the stomach and
of the nerves, are completely overcome by
this sovereign remedy. Chills, fever and
bilious remittent, rheumatism and kidney
troubles are also relieved by it. Ait

ABOUT CELLULOID PRODUCTS.
From the American Analyst.
Umbrella and cane handles, collars,
cuffs, and scores of other articles of con-
venience, utility and elegance, manu-
factured from eelluloid, are in daily use
by large numbers of people. The ques-
tiOn is asked: 'May they be safely
uSed?" CellulOid is made from gun
cotton, the powerful and violent explo-
sive compound. Gun cotton is made by
saturating absorbent paper with a mix
ture of two parts of nitric acid and five
parts of sulphuric acid. The cellulose
of the paper, derived from the cellular
tissue of the cotton in common use, is
changed by the combination and be-
comes gun cotton. To make cellulOid,
the excess of acid is washed out by
free use of water, and by pressure care
fully applied. After the removal of all
uncOmbined acid, it is reduced to a
homogeneous mass, strained until it be-
comes nearly dry, and is then mixed
with about One-third of its weight of
gum camphOr. These materials are
mixed as uniformity as possible by care
full manipulation with wooden instru-
ments, and then by grinding. The pulp
which is turned out by grinding is spread
out and reduced to slabs of various
thieknesses and rolled between steam
heated rollers, and then becomes mod
erately elastic in strips of medium
thickness. In this form it Is worked up
into the various articles which are Of
fered for sale and use. Although gun
Gotten is easily manufactured, its man
ufacture for experiment or for general
use is not recommended, and, although
celluloid articles may be safely used
with ordinary care, bonfire of such ar
ticles is not recommended. No injuries
from such use have been reported. A
word to the wise, however, suffices.

SOCIAL CUSTOMS IN TOPEKA.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.

in her invitations that her sidebOard
would contain drop of something in the
way of an appetizer.

THE Republicans of the Third Louis

able to win at the special election for a
Congressman to succeed Mr.. Gay, Dem
ocrat, which will probably be held in
September next. The colored race

there is also considerable white Re
publican voting strength, made up very
largely of Northern men. All they need
to carry the district is a fair election,
and this they say they will have.

THE GAS GUsHER AT CADIZ.


The Cadiz Republican in its account
of the big gasser found at that place on
the 18th inst, says:
''The drill had penetrated the Berea
sand last week, but to the discourage
ment of all concerned had found only
small indications of oil. The sand it
self, however, was the coarsest, loosest
and in all respects the most promising
for gas or oil that has yet been found in
any well that has been drilled in this re-
giOn. Still, the drill had penetrated it
to the depth of over fifty feet without
any favorable developments, and on
Saturday evening work was quit with
the belief that the well was a dry hole.
On Monday morning it was discovered
that the well had a hundred and eighty
feet of oil in it. This was an encourag-
ing fact, and indicated that it was good
for at least ten barrels of oil day and on
this showing the drillers decided to sink
it little deeper. The drill was lowered
and the work went on for a couple of
hours without any unusual demOnstra-
tions, when suddenly a tremendous roar
was heard, and in an instant a stream of
oil, sand, pebbles and gas came pouring
out of the well and streaming far up
above the top of the derrick. The rush
of gas was tremendous, and of course
within a very few minutes swept the
oil and everything else out of the well,
Clean" The roar of the well was heard
a distance of mile, and yet Cadiz
seems disappointed in finding gas in
stead of oil, but the Republican says
"enough of both has been found now to
show that somewhere around here there
is splendid deposit of oil, perhaps mil
lions of barrels of it, and its quality is
that of the very finest Illuminating OIL
the highest priced and best illumina-
ting oil that has ever been discovered in
any oil field in the United States. Its
quality is identical with that of the oil
found in Washington and Beaver eoun-
ties, Pa, which sells at premium over
all other Illuminating oils"
