LIGHT AND AIRY.

They Come! They Comet
How dear to our hearts are our friends in Chi
cagoi
Our love for them never was clearer than
now.
All vaiIly we try to express our devotion,
But drop pens, admitting We do not know
how.
Expressions of true love are quite beyond mall
ing;
Well pack up our grips and in person will
bear
The smiles and the longings and marks of af-
fection,
And while we're about it we'n take in the fair.
Well stay long enough to convince them we
mean it
That distance is nothing where love is con-
cerned-
And We'll shower the favor of presence upon
them
Till the lesson we know is by them also
learned.
Well inger a month if the case seems to need
it,
For this anguish of heart we can no longer
afford;
Wen offer our love, which is free as the heav-
ems,
And take of their excellent bedding and
board.

A Fracas.

A war is being waged at Martins
Ferry. A number of taxpayers formed
an organization to keep the council in
check and to stop them from creating
further debts when there was no money
in the treasury with which to pay obliga-
tions. Then, as an outcome of the feel
ing aroused in the council by the above
action, personal encounter took place
on the street between Judge John S.
Cochran, attorney for the organization of
citizens, and President Henderson, of the
City Council.

No Eedeemer.

The Guernsey National Bank has re-
ceived from an exchange bank, in South
ern Ohio, a bill of the old Guernsey
branch bank at Washington, for redemp-
ton. 1t was for SO, numbered 126, dated
May %, 1856, and signed by John Nc
Curdy, president, and George A. Endly,
cashier. The bill Is valueless as money
now, for the reason that the limit of re-
demption on it has passed, all the re-
quirements of the law having been COM
piled with in relation to the same. The
Guernsey National, from its similarity
of name, perhaps, has received number
of these bills, in past years, but their
answer is that for these notes there is no
living redeemer.-Cambridge Times.

Poetfcal License.

They were chatting together one fair summer
evening
And touched on all topics from coffee to salad,
To dances and operas and favorite actors,
And lastly new and anonymous ballad.

Defects in the ballad of course he detected
And laughed at the faults In the wording and
rhyming,
But she warmly defended It why, it's ex-
pected-

surely
Its errors 'poetical license will cover.''
He smilingly gazed on her sweet indignation
(Have mentioned that he was half friend

Then from her red lips snatched kiss on
sudden,
And answered her frowning with, Il could
but try, since
simply need say, dear, to meet your objection,
Twas really merely 'poetical license"

A LITTLE Democratic rule goes a
great ways in making Republicans.
Men who have always voted the Demo-
cratic ticket, but who swear they will
never do SO again, are becoming numer-
GUS in every locality. These men now
see that there is a difference between
simply opposing what is being done and
going to work and doing it. The evil
dent lack of inanciers in the Democratic
party makes many Democrats wish that
Republicans were still in control, and
they will vote hereafter to keep the Re-
publican party in power. Not only
the Democratic soldiers are Topping;
thousands of business men and farmers
have had enough of Democracy already

1T is well known that large numbers
of Democratic Congressman have pro-
tested against Hoke Smiths pension
policy as a policy calculated to drive
every Democratic soldier out of the
party. Objector Holman is said to have
informed the President that if he did
not call halt that nothing would be
left of the Democratic party in the
next Congress. But Grover and Hoke
men intend to have it out with the
who shot at their friends in the South.

CLEVELAND SHOULD SPEAK.

CLEVELAND SHOULD SPEAK.
Philadelphia Press.
Among the calamity makers have
been those members of tariff reform Or
ganizations who have prepared tariff
bills semi-authoritatively as details of
the Democratic policy. Every such meas
ure has been menace to the business
OF the country, and none of them could
be made into law without itself causing
panic. The significance of this has
been felt in almost every industrial
establishment of the land. 1t has caused
unrest, interference with enterprises, the
stoppage of mills and manufactures.
This is something that the repeal of the
Sherman law will not reach. Grover
Cleveland can end this calamity making.
but only by decisive notice that the
Democratic purpose to destroy the pro-
tective system will not be executed while
he is President.

Dangerous.

a wagon with the word Dangerous
painted in large letters on its side, was
driven through town last Saturday. 1t
was the wagon which had conveyed the
nitro -glycerine from Mcdonald, Pa, to
Cadiz, to be used in shooting the Fryer
gas well. Nitro ro-glycerine is transported
in long, slender tin cans, packed carefully
in hair cushions in a wagon specially
constructed for the purpose. Nitro
glycerine is like some people-a very
small amount of jarring produces an
explosion; you have to handle them care
fully. There are few people who can
drive nitro-glycerine wagons, every day,
and live happily.-Cadiz Republican.

Left the Shop.

At Caldwell, Private Dalzell was in the
chair in barber shop, and while being
shaved was engaged in an animated dis
cussion of the pension question and Hoke
Smiths rulings. As the discussion pro-
gressed Dalzell became more vehement
in his talk and had reached high state
of excitement when the proprietor of the
shop informed his customer that the
pension talk was getting monotonous.
This was too much for the Private. He
jumped out of the chair, paid his bill,
picked up his mug and rushed across the
street with lathered face and half-shorD
beard to a rival shop.
