Things Are Not What They Seem


A lean, half starved cur stood curiously
regarding a sleek, white, well fed pig cozly
curled up in a nest of nice clean straw.
"Some folk get all the good things r.
this world 1 think" grumbled the cur
Here is that great, fat, lazy pig fed on thS
best OF everything-peas, potatoes, sweet
milk, barley meal. and l know not what
aii-while l am kicked and cuffed, and
have to pick up meal anyhow"
whats that fellow chattering aboutf"
grunted the pig. "Go away, and let me
sleep in peace"
And he turned himself over, and was
soon snoring soundly.
"Dick" cried the farmer out of the win
dow, "be up tomorrow at o'clock. Well
kill the white pig for Saturdays market,
and a roast leg of pork won't come amiss
for Sundays dinner"
Next morning the cur was awakened
early by strange sounds.
"Ahp said he, as he shivered in his
straw and sat up to listen;-"I see now,
they only fattened up poor piggy for their
own sakes. Seeming good fortune may
not be best for us after all. 1t is better to
live poorly in security than to have all we
want and be in constant danger"

his fine airs and aristocratic blood. He
certainly was not favorite except among
a few, but was always boasting of his su-
perior acquaintances One day the Game
cock challenged him to fight, while Ban
tam crowed with delight.
"a fight, a fightp' was echoed quickly
through the barnyard, and when it was
ascertained who were the combatants great
was the excitement which prevailed.
Notwithstanding his airs, Cochin was q
coward, and calling the Gamecock aside,
he said he would rather apologize than
lose friend. So the fight was abandoned,
and such was the indignation felt toward
Cochin that all his friends deserted him
except Mrs. Dominick and a Spanish hen

The Fable of the Owls.

An old mother owl that had been out In
the dim light Of evening was returning
home to its brood of five little owlets with
good supply of mice in its mouth and
claws. The youngsters were all sitting in
the nest hooting as loud as they could as a
welcome to their parent. flush, hush! my
dears," cried the old bird as soon as she
gave each one share of the prey. "Do you
know that the unearthly noise you were
making little while ago would drive any
sensible mouse miles away, and if you con-
tinue to make it we shall have to take up
our abode elsewhere"
"Alasl mother" walled the owlets, I'VE
cannot utter any other sounds, for they are
the only ones we know, and remember we
first learned them from you"

four grown children and the servant
were in bed at the time, Judge Brazee
being the ly occupant stirring. He
was blown sixty feet across the street,
where he was found unconscious al
bleeding from severe wounds about the
head. 1t seems almost miracle that
none of the sleeping occupants of the
house were seriously injured. The walls
fell outward, and this probably saved
their lives. Windows were broken for
several squares around, and the organ in
an adjoining church was ruined. The
shock was felt for miles around. A leak
in pipe, it is supposed, filed the cellar
and library with gas, which was ignited
from the CRATE. The house and all its
contents are ruined. Loss, $4,000.

NAPOLEON o. THUT3SD AY9ANUARY d. 1892.

quet OF 1892 will be long remembered as
the bright star among political gather
ings Of the decade.
Female Lobbyists-
The female lobbyist may be expected
IN Columbus in force this winter. And
/ do not mean by that the female lobb
ist who is working some disreputabie
scheme through for hire, using the
charms of nature TO aid her materially,
but mean the lobbyist who is working
for principle and love. At the request
of the Woman's Suffragist Association
of Ohio, bill has been introduced TO al
low women over twenty-one years of
age to vote and be voted for for school
trustees and school officers. And as
true as you live there is sentiment
among the members that this measure
ought to be passed. With the right sort
of lobbying on the part of the ladies who
are interested in this sort of thing, there
is little douh. but that this bill or one
that embodies its principles and ideas
will be passed. The fact that bill
giving to women the right to vote for
all municipal officers came within a few
votes of passing the house of the last
general assembly, may show the trend of
public opinion on this question. Many
of the prominent newspapers of the state
are advocating the school suffrage
for women, and many of the Legislators
are willing to give the feminine portion
of Ohio trial on school suffrage to see
if it is wise to extend the right to vote
further.
Judicial Revision.
It is fact patent to all that the judi
cial districts of the state need a careful
revision, but there is conservative ele-
ment among the majority that will insist
on keeping partizanship off from Hhis re-
vision. This is most favorable sign of
the times. OF course, there is a portion
of the majority that wants to make the
most of its political position and revise
these districts to the benefit, it thinks,
of its party, but that sort Of scheme
will not WORK. There are too many men
who are shrewd enough-if it is not to
be put on any higher plane-to see that
any partiZanship displayed toward the
Judiciary, will be rebuked by the people,
as it certainly should.
Canals.
The canals of the state will have to
stand the test of proof of usefulness
without any doubt. Governor McKin-
ley says that they ought to be compelled
to show that they are useful and be re-
paired, or else be abandoned. If they
can show that they are useful, then
there will be little difficulty in getting
money enough to repair and rebuild
them; if, on the other hand, they can
not show good cause for life, the canal
appropriation will have to fight pretty
hard for life. The committee on canals
in the house is SO constituted that this
very sort of proof will have to be made,
and that, too, very clearly and conclu-
sively, or else the issue will come in the
shape of strong minority report that
will bring the thing to focus. The
canal question promises to be very in
teresting one during this session, and if
1t does not produce more oratory of one
sort or another, miss my guess.

OXFORD, o., Jan. is. Quiet Oxford,
the classic seat of learning, was the
scene of the lynching of murderer Henry
Corbin at about o'clock Thursday
night. The scene of the hanging YVES
the public square, in the shadow Of Old
Mama university, and a conveniept
tree was the gallows.
All day searching parties were out
hunting the murderer, but without get
ting trace of him. About $50 he was
located in shed about a mile from
town, to which colored boy was found
carrying food. A posse at once went to
and surrounded the shed. AS they ad-
vanced shot was heard. They rushed
in and found Corbin lying on the floor
with bullet hole in his head. He had
shot himself, but was not dead.
A litter was constructed and tl,e
wounded man carried to town At the
town hall q rope was tied about his neck
and he was pulled into the air. Cooler
heads cut the rope and he was carried
to the Jail.
The mayor tried to disperse the crowd.
and DR.. Hinckley told him thatalthough
the man was alive, he had but few mo-
ments to live. Words were of no avail,
and the doors of the Jail were broken
open and tho keys of the iron cage were
taken from the marshal by force. The
crowd opened the iron door and dragged
Corbin fror7 the cell Through the snow
to the public square.
It was five minutes to 8 o'clock when
q rope was attached to his neck and
dozens of willing hands pulled him up
to limb of one Of the largest trees.
The body was then mado a target and
shot after shot fired into it. The mob
then quietly dispersed. At 1890 the
body was cut down. The dead mans
friends refused to take charge of it.
A few days ago Corbin assaulted and
murdered Mrs. Horner, 3 widow who
had befriended him, and then assaulted

Reform.

There is hardly an issue of the great met
ropolitan journals that does not contain at
least one suit for damages for alleged trih
ing with the fair sex's affections. An ex-
animation of the statute on this subject re-
veais that the plaintiff has the preponder-
ance of the law in her favor. Even her
oath takes precedence to that of the de-
fendant. Why this is. is without doubt due to
a spirit of chivalry on the part of the legis-
lators, rs her than Justice and honesty in
following The innermost recssses of CON-
science. In a suit of this kind both parties
to the suit should stand upon equal ground,
for the reason that the suit is based upon an
imaginary quantity termed love, of which
women has, ever since Eve induced Adam
to eat the russell, been sole master. 1t is an
art, business. chat is synonomous with the
word woman" Then, her possession of
this art to consummate degree would GER
tainly place her on an equal, II not more
advantageous, footing to cope with the mas
culine nature which 1t is claimed, though not
substantiated by history, is stronger than
woman's.
Because fellow keeps 'reg'pr company
or does a few Jobs of "settin up" with girl,
does not signify that her affections have
been triaed with or that he must marry her,
yet how many salts have been instituted
and verdicts rendered on no more provoca-
tion than this, the great Arbuckle suit for
example.
"Trifing with affections" is the cause of
action for which the women of our land
have abundant recourse in law, and then on
the other hand it has been demonstrated
that not a few ''hearts" of the masculine or
der have been lacerated and warped by CO.
quettes until they resemble dried apples
and for this there is no remedy except, in
common parlance, ITO grin and bear it."
Edward Bellamy has several times of late
years endeavored to kick this earth into
space and set it on fire, and it seems to us
that his comprehensive grasp of reform on
the above social condition would not be al.
| together with barren results.

Cruel Treatment of a Man and Woman In

Augiaize County, Ohio.
ST. MARYs, o., Jan. 1S.-Charles
Peterson, aged twenty y-fve. living in
adultery with Miss Mary Shelbrook,
near st. Johns, this county, was the re-
ceiver of a White Cap notice, Thursd"v
night, to leave the comfy in less than
twenty-four ne rs. or he would be
tarred and feathered. He failed to make
good his escape. and was taken by twelve
mas-ed men Friday night and given q
cold bath in Green creek. near by.
Miss Mary tried to escape from the
mob, but we also taken III custody and
giver cold path. The White Caps cut
hole in tho ice and lifted them up and
down by holding their hands, through
the hole in the ice.
A travelinc man named Culbertson,
from Cincim att. was stopping at St..
Johns, and claims it was the worst case
he ever heard of, as the couple were
very poor, and scarcely had enough
clothing to keep them warm. They had
been living in a small, abandoned hut in
the woods for several months, and Pet
erson was hard working man, trying
to keep the wolf from the door. They
were made to pack their few things to-
gether and depart after receiving the
bath.
The White Caps set fire to the hut
and watched it burn to the ground. 1t
Is thought the band consisted Of farmers
living near by, and it has since been
learned that Miss Mary had been sick
for several aeks, and after being bathe
in the creek and made to depart in tue
night took seriously ill, and was unable
to travel, and was taken in by Mr.. Her-
ley, farmer, and is now lying at the
point of death at his home. The White
Caps are being looked after by special
officers, and the woman's death will
cause the arrest of several well-to-de
| farmers.

The Earmer,s Institute.

The farmers of southern Henry county as
sembled in institute on Friday and Satur
day of last week, in Holgate, at the town
hall.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather
and poor roads the attendance was confused
to the farmer of the southern townships and
those only attended in degree.
Those who we're present constitute the
real live element in the agricultural element;
those who farm intelligently and gain and
improve time outside of farm labor for in
tsllectual development.
The lectures exhausted the subjects on
which they treated and without doubt the
efforts of the lecturers were amply appre-
ciated and the seed thus let fall dropped on
good ground and will bring forth abund :
antly.
They not only treated on subjects pertai n
ing to farm labor. but we're replete with
good, wholesome advice to the farmer in re-
gard to other matters that go to make life in
any sphere, enjoyable and worth living.
The musical part of the programme par
ticipated in by young ladies of Holgate was
by no means small item in making the
institute success, while the recitations bJ
Miss DoIlie Fribley and Muriel rripp ,and
paper by Mrs. DR.. townsend, were far above
the average.
President Hollopeter and Sec'y. Davis
deserve great credit for the work they have
done in stirring MP the interest that has beer
manifested in these institutes.

leon in the course of a month. which place
