Down the Ohio.

With the Beautiful River at
good boating stage and ON bright
Spring day, a trip down the Ohio
Valley is a thing of beauty and a
Joy SO long as It lasts.
We read of the valley Of the
Rhine and Americans go wild and
elbow themselves to see its sights,
as it winds along its three hundred
miles in length, never dreaming
that from Pittsburg to Cairo ex-
tends a valley eleven hundred miles
In length its broad and fertile val
leys fringed with abrupt hills slop-
ing back from either side, affording
a scene whose grandeur is beyond
the power of language to describe.
1t seems natural for mankind to
long for something beyond reach
rather than enjoy that which is
theirs to enjoy and which if only
appreciated is far superior to that
for which they long.
Few who live in the Ohio Val
ley are able to spare time and mon
zey to. visit scenery across the At
lantic, but there are not many who
can not afford trip down the Ohio
Valley and enjoy it's scenery.
Such a trip is worth more than it
costs. The trip is especially en-
ioyable at this season of the year.

An EartIloualSe.

At half-past one O'Clock yester-
day afternoon the city was startled
by the first earthquake experienced
here in about FIVE years, though
the last was nothing comparable
with this either in duration or
force. Nearly every house in town
was shaken and some were so much
affected by the seismatic disturb
ance that they actually ratified.
The shock lasted nearly half a
minute, and its vibrations were
from south to north. Numbers
could not understand the sensation,
and those who recognized its origin
soon gathered about the streets to
discuss the phenomenon and inn
part information of their particular
experiences during its progress.
Our printing Office building sway
ed until we thought it would tum-
BILE to the earth, and our stands and
cases danced a jig about the Office.

what Woman owes to society.
Woman stands as the sacred
guardian of future homes and our
nation s prosperity, and to her must
we look for true reforms. To her
standard must society come. Let
her be sure to place it high and
keep it pure, and make it apply
impartially to all people. Let her
keep out those whom she knows
fall short of her standard, and new
er condone in the stronger sex
what she condemns in the weaker.
Let her think not to elevate society
by hiding or condoning the evils
which surrounded her on every
side, but only by shutting out
those whom she has found it i'm
possible to raise to her standard.
Then future generations will arise
who will bless her for their heri-
tage, instead of cursing her for
their misery.-Dwight L. Moody
