Horse Shedding a witness.

Il can't imagine where Senator FL
kins obtained his authority for the ex-
PLANTATION which he gives of the origin
of the expression horse shedding, F"
said Representative Grosvenor 1.-The
origin of this famous expression was as
follows:
In days gone by the Ohio courts
held sessions at different county seats
at certain periods known as court terms
To accommodate the large crowds of
litigants and witnesses who would flock
in from points for miles around the
county seat when court was in session,
the county authorities erected sheds
near the courthouse, where the litigants
and their witnesses could tie and feed
their horses while they attended court,
and these sheds became known as horse
sheds. Now, owing to the limited space
of the courtrooms, the lawyers. who
always travelled with the court, were
unable to hold a private consultation
with their clients and witnesses inside
the walls, and SO they used to take them
under the horse sheds and there talk
matters over with them
Among the attorneys who attended
court at Chester, the then county seat of
Meigs county, on one occasion were Tom
Ewing and Samuel +. Vinton. The
court was ready to go on with the case
in which the two noted attorneys were
retained as opening counsel, when it
was discovered that Vinton was not
present The court looked carefully
around and then asked:
Where is Mr. Vinton?'
"'I don't know, your honor said
Ewing, rising to his feet. He is not
here, but he is probably outside horse
shedding his witnesses.
"The remark raised a general laugh,
and thereafter the word horse shedding
witness passed into popular parlance.

NIGHT ON SHIPBOARD.
The Regular Duties and the Time Fol
General Relaxation.

The Regular Duties and the Time For
| General Relaxation.
The FIRST call" is sounded again five
minutes before shutdown. when the en-
sign and the jack halyards are manned,
and staylight made ready for hosting
to indicate the ships whereabouts dur
| ing the night Then the color call fol
lows at SHUTDOWN rs the flag is lowered,
and saluted by all as il reaches the deck.
The assembly is then sounded for even
| ing quarters and muster, but there is no
| drill.
As rule, it is just after sunset when
the bugle call is sounded to "stand by
hammocks" That brings all the crew
ON deck, and they stand in silence close
out to the ships side beside the ham,
mock MEETINGS, III two ranks facing the
stern, until the boatswain' s mate reports
to the officer of the deck, "All up and
aft. 4" The latter then orders, "Uncover!
pipe down." and in obedience to this
order and the boatswain's whistle the
MEETINGS are thrown open, and the ham,
mocks are served out and taken below
to their proper places. Each hammock
has printed on it number, and that
same number is on the hooks below
decks where that hammock has to be
swung so that each man sleeps in the
same place every night, and that place
is called his billet"
Unless, now. boat is called away
there will be no more bugle calls until
five minutes of 9 o'clock. The period is
one of complete relaxation, and is spent
by the sailors in smoking, spinning
yarns, singing, playing ON musical in
struments, and dancing. At 8 100 the
first call is again sounded as warning
to the crew to prepare to turn into their
hammocks and go to sleep. Then at 0
o'clock comes the call known as "tat-
too"
This tattoo is the survival of an old
custom. In the ''old navy" it used to
last 10 minutes, and was performed
with drum and fife, playing all manner
of airs and quicksteps according to the
fancy or ingenuity of the drummer and
fifer. 1t is even said to have been handed
down from period of superstition,
when they used to make a hullabaloo
after dark to drive the devils out of the
ship. AT the last note of tattoo the ships
bell is struck twice for O'Clock, and
the boatswain's whistle sounds "Pipe
down. Every man must then turn into
his hammock, whether he is sleepy or
not, for an inspection is made by the
master at arms to see that all have done
so. Then sounds that last, long, mourn.

From an English Point ryiew,

The News is well aware that many who
read the following clipping from one Of
the leading financial papers OF London,
"The Economist, will Immediately cry
out: eyes, that paper only voices the
money kings OF Lombard street" BE
that az it may, it appears to US it gives
utterance to facts aud such being the
case we repeat it in the hope that our
patrons will read, mark, learn and in
wardy digest the same and so help along
the campaign OF education which at the
present time il so necessary upon this
theme:
ut is impossible TO overlook the politi-
cal Importance Of the Chicago convention
No doubt a certain amount OF exaggera-
ton has been INDUCED in concerning the
so-called socialism Of the resolutions. It
= not, oil course, socialism to support an
Income tax, TO condemn monopolies, or
% demand tariff for revenue purposes
only. But when all possible allowance
has been made for these exaggerations.
the fact remains that one OF the two great
parties in the States has deliberately
adopted policy OF reputation. The
democratic party stands pledged TO the
most predatory set OF proposals for deal
ing with the public currency ever set
forth by body Of public men. They. in
effect, demand that the debtor shall be
allowed topay his creditor 10 shillings in
the pound and demand a discb arge In full
This, as we have said, is reputation. and
nothing else. No rhetoric, however. il re.
quired TO heighten the effect of these
proposals, and we see no good in TRYING
TO add to the follies Of the convention by
describing the minor items OF the demo
cratic program as communistic and rev.
olutionary. They may be bad and alb.
eurd. but they are certainly not anarch-
zeal. per sc, or, n they are, we in England
must all be anarchists. Itisquite enough
to know that the democratic party have
determined to allow men to repudiate
their debts. After that announcement IL

be denied that the mere formation oil the

consequences on American business. but
forthe uncertainty in regard toleglslation,

while there is a prospect OF change IN
the law which will give the debtor the
right TO repudiate hall his debt. |
Business will not, and cannot, prosper IN
face of such contingencies.
Though we view the main proposals
of the Chicago convention with the ut
most dislike, we have, as we nave
limited above, no desire to misludge the
rest of the platform or TO oyerwhelm IN
condemnation all OF it's planks. The pro-
posal for tariff which shall not be pro-
tectiye, but raised for revenue purposes
only, will have, we need hardly say, the
sympathy OF all reasonable men. t
is impossible to contemplate the evils
wrought in America by projection with
out thinking of the unfortunate position
in which the more intelligent and lar
seeing voters will find themselves at the
next election. They cannot vote with
the Democrats, tor that means giving
their sanction to reputation. III, on the
other hand, they vote for the Republican
ticket they are approving still further
of the protestionist shackles.
Ii is a grievous dilemma, dishonesty on
the one hand and economic oppression
on the other. Fortunately, however,
the people of the states, as they have re-
shown in time past have way

iculties which must have destroyed aless
