OHIO has in some way long been
a conpicuOus factor in Presidential
campaigns. Three actual citizens
of the state-two of them, ut least
native to the ground-have occup-
led the Presidential chair. They
were WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON.
RUTHERFORD B. HAYES and
JAMES A. GARFIELD. General
GRANT was born in Ohio, and as
through his military renown he be-
came delocalized, SO to speak, and
a citizen of he republic, his native

any other. BENJAMIN HA RR1soN

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 24.-The

of this campaign. Nothing espe-

thought of the club had it not been
composed of warm friends of the
Governor.

gardless of the fact that it would
be viewed by Republicans through.
out Ohio as the leader of any move
ment calculated to be beneficial to
the party here, this club has declnr-
ed against any participation in the
campaign. The sole reason assign
ed for this is that the railroad fare
isa few cents higher than they ex

CoLUMBUs, o., Aug. 24.-As was
announced in this paper yesterday

Manderson. OF Durke County, and
Hon. MA. Smal,ey, Chairman of

are talked Of as Chairman Of the
Executive Committee. Mr.. Small
ley is said to be. Senator eBrice's
choice. He has been one of his
chief lieutenants for several years,
and'it is understood his. selection
would be entirely satisfactory to
Governor Campbell. II is believed
Mr.. Smalley will be chosen. For
Secretary Colonel s. X. Donovin is
mentioned. The wishes ofGovern-
or Campbell, Of course, will be re-
spected in the matter, and at the
same time the possibilities of the
senatorial canvass, which must
come next fall will not he over
looked.
There is no secret of the fact'that
the friends Of Senator Brice consti-
'fnte mojority Of the new State
Central Committee, but that does
not mean that Governor Campbell
will not do as has always been done
in times past. The campaign be-
gins in absolute harmony and will
so continue.

Alfred the Great said: "a king

Justinian inculcated politeness on
every official of the empire.

much inclined to talk about him.

Calhoun was so absent minded
that he often forgot he was in COM

Monroe was, even in his own
time, called gentleman of the

Of diffidence.
Bancroft was rather reserved than
otherwise with most persons whom
he met.
Henry Clay was said to make the
the most engaging bow of any gen.

Milton was quiet and reserved in

Dante was solitary in his habits,

those whom he met.

ADAM AND EVE AND THAT AP-

but who can read it?
How many apples did Adam and
Eve eat? Some say Eve 8 and
Adam "a total of 10.
Now, we figure the thing out far
differently. Eve 8 and Adam 8 also
total I6.
And yet, the above Figures are en-

Scientific men, however, on the
strength of the theory that the ante.

clearer than if Eve 811st and Adam

clear solution: Eve 814 Adam, Adam

Still another calculation is as fol.

Word History.

Fairy was once a beautiful wo-
man.
Goodbye is an abbreviation of an
old English form of parting, "God
be with you until we meet"
Adieu formerly signified to God.
1t was an abbreviation of bene-
diction used by friends when part
ing.
Starve was once to die any man
ner of death. Wycliffe's sermons
tell how "Christ starved on the
cross for the redemption of men,"
Acre once meant any field. 1t is
still used with this significance by
the Germans, who speak of Gods
acre, alluding to the cemetery.
Town originally signified farm
or farmhouse. 1t is used i'm wy
clifte in this sense, "and they went
their ways, one to his own town, an
other to his merchandise.n
Meat once meant any kind Of
food. In one old English edition Of
the Lords prayer the well-known
petition is rendered: "Give us
this day our daily meat"
Corpse once meant body,
whether living or dead. Many old
writs are extant in which the Sheriff
or his deputy is commanded to bring
the corpse of such man into court.
Tariff was the name of the Moor
lsh chieftain, Abou al Tarifa, who
had fortress near the Straits of
Gibraltar, and levied toll on ships
and merchandise passing through.
Tabby, the name Of a we'll. known
species of cat, was formerly atabi,
which was term used to designate
peculiar pattern in the silks manu-
tactured in Persia. The markings
In the fur of the cat resemble the
pattern in the silk, hence the double
application of the name.
The word prevaricator is from the
Latin and originally meant strad-
dler with distorted or misshapen
legs. In the Roman courts of law
the expression was applied to the
one who in suit was discovered to
be in collusion with his opponent to
compass some dishonesty. AS
talsehood was the necessary part of
such performance, the word by
and by came to have the sig
nificance at present attached to it.
