CHARITY THAT PAID.
This Narrative Is vouched for as a True
Story of Gotham.

Young Mr.. de B. is a broker, says
Chatter, and, like most men in his
walk of life. generously disposed.
As he left his office one day last
week he was accosted by rough
looking, raggedly dressed man who re-
quested the gift of so cents with which
to purchase his dinner.
"Why should give you so cents for
your dinnerP" asked young Mr.. de B..
What claim have you upon me?"
None" said the beggar. That is,
no more than the hungry and penni-
less always have upon those who have
something to spare
do look as if had something to
spareP"
.'You are a broker" returned the
aims seeker. II never knew broker
who had nothing to spare to a hungry
man."
''Why don't you 60 to workP''
II may have to if you decline to as
sist me-"
THAT is strange. What is your
work?"
''I'll tell you. I am a pickpocket,
and have just this afternoon been dis
charged from prison. l have no mon
ey, no friends. | am, as l have said,
hungry. You see what l am brought
to. Starvation or crime. If | can get
good dinner l may be able to stave
off the other alternative for while"
Young Mr.. de B. was impressed
naturally so, think. Putting his hand
into his trousers pocket he drew forth
a half-dollar and handed it to the ex-
convict.
There" he said-''there is your
dinner. l shall be glad if l can save
you from crime even for q little while"
At this young Mr.. de B. started on
his way, but the beggar was at his ell
bow.
Il say. my friend" said he.
''Well?"
Would you mind telling ME the
timePn
There is the clock in Trinity stee-
ple."
is it?"
Impatiently Mr.. de B. felt for his
watch. 1t was gone.
Il have been robbed" he cried.
Precisely" said the ex-convict.
'tAnd here is the watch" taking it
from the pocket of his greasy coat.
Il took it while you were hesitating
about giving me the half-dollar The
Lord helps them that help themselves,
but he also helps them as helps others.
Take your watch. 1 don't need it.
You got it cheap"
And so saying, the beggar turned
and walked down the street, and was
soon lost to view.
Then young Mr.. de B.. replacing his
timepiece in his pocket, sauntered
homeward, thinking deeply all the
while and thanking his stars that be-
ing a broker he was, like most men in
his walk of life, generously disposed.

Tantalakunti's Man-Eater.

The Madras Times chronicles the do
ings of a terrible man-eatine tiger.
Dnring 1889 the monster carried off
human lives at the rate of one week.
This year the proportion has been
doubled. The tiger is known as the
man-eater of Tintalakunti. 1t makes
the plains and mountains of Muranga-
pom and Kalahundi, in the district of
Izagapatam, the field of its opera
ms. The government has offered
200 piasters for its destruction.
Last year the man-eater swallowed
fffty-two men, and this year, from the
1st to the goth of January, it had eaten
six.
1t is absolutely without fear and
does not hesitate to attack a group of
four or five men. 1t will select the in
dividual most to his taste and coollv
walk off with him. The natives of the
locality are paralyzed with fear. At
the sight of the tiger they become in
capable of action.
Here is one example of the ferocious
audacity of this animal, which occurred
the beginning of this year: A mother
and her daughter were warming them
selves by the fire in their hut. The
door was closed and bolted. Without
an instant's warning the door was
smashed in, the man-eater Ieaped into
the hut, seized the beautiful Young
girl and walked off with her.

THE Democratic State Convention is being
held at Springfield. At the time of our going
to press, no nominations had been made. The
Democracy of the State is well represented and
the good feeling and harmony prevailing are
certain Indication of Democratic triumph at
the polls for with united Democracy, the is
sues of the present campaign will be over
whelpingly in favor of the great party of the
people. No side-tracking will be done, but the
battle will be fought and won on Democrats
ground. The people are with us in the struggle
against war tariff in times of peace. and will
uphold us in the effort to purge the government
of the recklessness and extravaganza that has
fastened itself upon the country through Re
publican spoilsmen at Washington. The in
famous force bill will be met and annihilated
by the people of Ohio who are alarmed at the
dangers with which the unprincipled Republi-
can leaders threaten the country.
The attendance is large and ticket will
probably be named today. And 1t will win.

STILL ANOTHER!
Tile Roofing and Hollow Brick
Ware to be added to the
List of Ravenna's
Industries!
What a Small Donation Will
Accomplish.

Last Wednesday two gentlemen ,''pros-
pectors' of long practical expert
ence in the manufacture of tile roofing
and hollow brick ware, came to Ra.
VIENNA and consulted with Mayor Hol-
comb and members of the Board of
Improvement, with reference to plant.
ing an industry of that kind in our
city. They stated that some time ago,
unbeknown to our citizens, they OBJ
tanned specimens of clay from the
south part of town, and had tested it
for the purpose stated, and found it of
very superior quality. That they had
interested certain Cleveland parties
with them, who were prepared to back
them for the amount necessary to es.
tablish Tile Works, for the manufac-
ture of tile roofing and general line
of hollow brickw are. One of the gen.
tlemen said that in thirty years exper~
ience in the business, ia Germany and
this country, he had never found any
clay more desirable than this for such
uses. and that it was seldom equalled.
In the afternoon the two gentlemen,
accompanied by Mr.. H. w. Riddle and
Mr.. Holcomb, drove to the land in
question, east of the Ravenna Tile
Works, and the visitors made thor
oueh examination of the clay, testing
it by mixing, handling and tasting,
and were more than ever satisfied with
its quality. They expressed them
selves as very much pleased with the
location of the land, were very favora.
bly, impressed with the city, and de-
sired to come here and locate their
plant. ALI they ask is donation of
three acres of land, conditioned on
their having the works in operation
and employing twenty five hands by
January 1st, 1872, and will execute a
satisfactory bond to that effect. Mr..
Riddle at once came to the front with
his accustomed enterprise and liberal
ity, and volunteered to donate one
acre of the land, and the conference
closed by the proposition of the visit
ors being accepted. They will be here
again this week to close the contract.
This will be valuable addition to our
industries, and the new firm will find
ahearty welcome awaiting them at the
hands of our citizens.

| If any one ever had any doubt about
the willingness of our citizens to sign
the guaranty bond necessary to secure
the plant Of the Ravenna Fiber Com
pany,it was quickly dispelled, Tuesday
last. when, after meeting of the Board
of improvements in Mayor Holcomb's
office, a committee was sent out to OBJ
tain signatures. In less than two hours
forty of our most substantial business
men had affixed their signatures to the
| document, and two hours work in the
afternoon swelled the number to sixty.
seven. With a solitary exception, ev-
cry business man on Main street read.
lily and willingly subscribed his name
to the obligation, ,and with no expense
of time beyond the ordinary, the list
has reached the splendid aggregate of
200 names. Everybody signs it, and
| it is safe to say that if all the resident
property holders could be assembled
together and Invited to sign, not a
half dozen declinations would be num-
bered. 1t is unanimous sentiment,
and removes the last vestige of doubt
concerning the locating of the Fiber
| Works in Ravenna.
The Mayor and Board of Improve
ments have accomplished splendid
work in bringing this matter before
our people, and they in turn have re
sponded in a manner worthy enter
prising, public spirited citizens, and
are entitled to the highest praise and
commendation for their prompt and
willing action.
Much earnest work has been done,
and the result is most gratifying. The
impetus given to the future growth
and prosperity of our beautiful little
city, by the successful competition
with neighboring towns, will very
soon be apparent. Manufacturers need
only to visit Ravenna. to see at once
her superior advantages over sur
rounding towns, and when the indus.
trial campaign is fairly started, we
shall have manufactures knocking at
our door for admission, instead of hav.
ing to invite them here.
A town possessing the advantages
of Ravenna is bound to grow. All
that is needed is proper enterprise, and
the increase will not depend upon the
artificial stimulus of unhealthy so
called booms." The truth of these
statements will be abundantly verified
by the next year.
In the meantime, it is the ambition
of every citizen here to put his shoul-
der to the wheel and assist in the good
work all he can.

THE Farmers of Portage County are
quite as much interested in the loca.
ton of the Fiber Company here, as
are our citizens, for it will afford a
market for every pound of straw they
grow, and prevent the annual waste
of hundreds of tons, which has been
nearly dead loss to them. 1t is some
thing that concerns them directly and
they will appreciate it.

want of water near at hand. At any time the
flowers plants. and shrubs suffer more or less for
want of natural nourishment. while in a dry time
it is very inconvenient. if not utterly impossible.
to keep them alive. There is paper in clrcula-
tion. which if subscribed to generously, will for
ever obviate this difficulty. by locating a good
we'll of water within the cemetery. where all who
are thus interested can. with very little trouble.
give their plants all the artificial nourishment
they require. It is hoped that no one called
upon will think so lightly of it as to refuse do
