Now utter calm and rest;
Hands folded Ger the breast
In peace the placldest,
All trials past,
All fever soothed---all pain
Annullcd, in heart and brain,
Never to vex again
She sleeps at last
She sleeps. But oh. most dear
And best beloved of her
Ne sleep not--nay, nor stir,
Save but to bow,
The closer each to each.
With Sobs and broken speech
That all in vain beseech

And 10, we weep with you.

OUR CANDIDATES.

The Democratic ticket nominated
Saturday is one which no democrat
can consistently bolt; 1t is one which
no democrat need close the valves OF
his conscience while supporting.
That the ticket In its entirety gives
satisfaction is manifest from an alb
sence Of any bitterness throughout the
conventions deliberations. And, al
though many differences of opinion
existed before and during the eonven-
tons work, the general "amen" to
the wind-up was refreshing and reas-
suring.
Practically there will be 20 fight In
Henry County politics this Fall, thus
giving the demmies plenty Of elbow
room in which to swing themselves
for the ucces Of the state ticket-es-
pecially should our candidate, Hon.
Dennis D., lead the ticket.
There is not single exception to
the broad assertion that the county
nominees are favorites In the demo-
cratic party, and this liking extends
over the fence on considerable repub-
lican territory, hence, 1t does not take
much foresight to predict their elec-
tion next Fall by handsome majori-
ties

To THE EDIToB:-I wish only to call atten-
tion to an error of statement contained in
the notice of the demise of our friend, Mrs.
R. J. Hollister, formerly of Napoleon, o.
Mrs. q. was as stated, the daughter of
VIM. s. Bailey, publisher Of paper at
Newport, KY, and subsequently at Nash
vile, Tenn. But for the sake of truth, let
me state that the name of the distinguished
Abolitionist and founder of the Cincinnati
Philanthrophist, an anti slavery journal;
Gamallal Bailey, who died in 1859. He was
also editor of the National Era, published
at Washington. This was the printing Office
attacked, and fired to as having been de-
Tended, etc.
Years ago in Napoleon, when the subject
was first talked of, being somewhat in
formed relative to the incident, took special
pains to interrogate Mrs. Fl. regarding it.
whereupon she disclaimed any relationship
to Gamalial Bailey, or to ever having lived in
Washington City.
Very Respectfully,
MRS. w. D. B1AoKMAN, Toledo, o.

Obnoxious.

Whatever, if any. customs will be abol-
ished or innovations introduced at the COM
mencement exercises this year, it is to be
sincerely hoped that the practice of late
years of making the stage a store-house for
lot of fiashy presents after each
graduate has made his little speech will be
summarily wiped out. Such custom is
common place and shoddy, and seriously re-
fleets on the refinement of our people. It
started with friends testifying admiration
by throwing flowers at the graduates feet,
the same means by which we vent our ap-
probation Of an actress.
But that was not enough. From flowers
we went to books, from books to jewelry,
watches and trinkets-all strewn about for
public gaze and comment. If the order of
things continues in the same ratio we doubt
not that graduates will soon get enough
"plunder" to go "agin house keepin." And
It'll all be carted up in the dress circle
vicinity too, to give the audience an oppor-
tunity to speculate "who got tte most"
Take this disgusting, vulgar custom, line
it up with other chustnuts and relegate it to
communities that have not the claim on the
enlightenment we hav o.
There is no town of our size in Ohio where
this practice is still clung to, and the time
has arrived in Napoleon when the success of
commencement exercises depends not upon
the amount of money "blown in" on the
graduates for presents. 1t is the old story
Of filthy lucre toppling down the scale pan
with wo rth suspended helplessly on high, as
ten times out of ten he who acquits himself
with most credit is left in the shadow by the
pomp and glare of his classmates store of
knick-knacks under the guise of tokens of
appreciation from monied relatives.
Commencement should be place where
ostentation is debarred.
