Fractional declines occurred in the gran
gers. Profit taking was in evidence. 1t
is net believed that these securities will
sell off much and the advice to BUY on
the recessions is believed to be particu-
larly applicable to these stocks, which
have been kept - much lower level,
comparatively, than The remainder of the
market. The story was heard in the street
yesterday that there is to be an extca divi-
dend of l per cent declared on st. Paul
at the end of the half year. The talk of
the refunding Of Burlington bonds is also
again heard in quarters friendly to the
granger securities. 1t is not improbable
that there may be something in the latter
story. With money cheap SIS it is at pres
ent the floating of z low interest bearing
bond by such a road as the Burlington
should not be a difficult matter. 1t seems
rather more than should be expected, how
ever, that there is any truth in the ,alll
Of an extra dividend for St. Paul. HOW
ever the stockholders OF the company may
consider themselves ill-treated, the talk of
the officers recently has all been in a most
conservative strain.

Behold, the End Has Come

In the OHIO DEMOCRAT of last
week, see that H. j. Woodwork
of Logan, o. has written an an
swer to my fair showing to our
negative friends their error. He
thinks it was an ingenious piece of
work to deceive and mistify the
negative people, relative to the 10th
goth centuries. He may think so,
for some people are harder to teach
than others. In all my career of
teaching, 1 had the reputation of
being II very plain teacher and de-
lineator. Now Mr.. Woodwork is
a fine scholar, having graduated in
one of the best Colleges in the
State. These learned men are the
persons that 1 like to talk with, for
they understand things better than
those with more limited educa.
tion. His language Is all right
but his effort to show up his side OF
this question is, miserable, and cen.
strains me to believe he had better
take postgraduate course, which
/ will proceed at once to give him
free of charges.
Now as his "hobby" is the die

will be careful to define my terms

An Unmerclful Whipping.
Homer Stiers Ties Farm Boy to a
Tree and FlOgs Him With a
Buggy Whip.

HAYDENvILLE, OHIO, Feb. 15.-
This town was in fever of excite
ment last night because of the aw.
ful whipping administered to farm
boy Frank Tolbert by his emplOye
Homer Stiers, a farmer. The boy
was brought up before Squire Leh-
man here, and whom he removed
his shirt 1t was cut In shreds and
matted in blood and his back cut
black and blue from top to bottom.
The inhuman treatment of the
boy aroused the wrath Of the
working men of this place, and
had it not been for the persuasion
of cooler heads, the same dose a.
least would have been administer
ed to Stiers.
The story goes that the Tolbert
boy was raised by the Stires' and
he is naturally not very bright. He
is alledged to have made some H.
licit remark about Stiers' daughter
which came to the ears of the
father on Monday of this week,
and on Wednesday morning he
called the boy out into the orchard
and without asking him anything
about ~, he ordered him to take
off his coat and vest, leaving moth
ing on but thin shirt and no un-
der shirt. Before the boy suspect
ed as much, Stiers drew his arms,
with face In, around an apple tree
and tied his hands with a rope. He
then took heavy buggy-whip and
served up whipping on the boys
back that brought blood with every
lash, and would have done credit
to slave driver Of the fifties. The
boys screams were heard by the
farm hands but they did not come
to his rescue. When exhausted in
strength, Stiers cut the bov loose
and ordered him to work. The
boy, sick and faint from loss OF
blood and terrible pain, stole away
nom the farm and went to Vein
millers, few miles south, and was
taken care Of. Stiers was arrested
and bound over to court.

About That Goth Century,

Mr.. Editor-After the broadside
of twentieth century literature In
your issue of Feb. 1st I had con-
cluded 1t would be best for me to
subside, for perhaps there is a
scintilla of truth in "might makes
right,"under certain circumstances,
and II 1 got away without . hair of
my head being harmed i might
live to fight some other day; and
there appeared to me, after view
ing the big thirteen inch shot from
Col. VIM. A. Taylor, that such dia-
grammatical argument forced that

will begin fret by giving little

course Of ProvidehIial events, II
pleased the Great Goo and ruler oil
the Universe to spread out our sol.
ar system In the emensity Of space,
with his own hand, and points out
their courses to run, with his fin-
ger. The whole eight primary
planets with their satellites, and
the sun their common center, con.
stitutes our Solar System. With
one stroke of Almighty power he
set the whole eight, with their sat
elites, to revolving around the sun
and around their own axis, in per-
feet harmony and exactness from
that day to the present time. Al
the time of Gallileo, (the man who In.
vented the telescope) our knowl'
edge of the planets was very mea.
gre; but now we understand them
well. For our purpose we need
only describe the motions Of the
Earth, which are two. One around
the sun, and the other on its own
axis. Now il Is these motions that
mark cur Seconds, Minutes, Hours
Days, Weeks, Months, Years and
Centuries. Now as a usual thing
we only use years, months and
days, in counting time. The fol.
lowing is a familiar table of time

Thus you see, years must be placed
under years. months under months
and days under days: then add ac-
cording to the rule for compound
addition, or subtract the 10 and Is
according to the rule for subtract
ion of compound numbers. When
a blank comes in either column,
supply it with So" This table no
scholar will ever say is Incori ect.
Now we will proceed to find out
what makes year, and a month,
and day. For this purpose l
brought to view the Solar System.
Now the earth's path around the
sun Is an ellipse, and the Zodiac
which Is an immaginary belt par
allel with the earth's path, Is di.
vided off in 12 parts, each part
making one month of time, marked
January, February, March &c. No ~
it takes the earth just 1856 days, s
hours, 4s minutes and 4S seconds,
to complete this circle. This
makes our year. We count the
start of the earth In this great cir.
Gle Of IL months, at the first day OF
January; this is always called a
new years day. And so it is. Then
it takes it 81 days to pass along
through January. Then comes
February, and it takes % day to
pass through February, Then
March 81 days. April 80 days etc.
till the twelve months are all taken
up. Now you see what makes
months. Now what makes our
days? One revolution of the earth
on its axis, and takes just 20 hour,
Sc minutes and 4 seconds. Its rev.
olutions, in both cases, have never
made the slightest change since
the first. Now upon this exactness
astronomers have made their cal.
culations for hundreds of years
pertaining to the beginning and
ending Of all centuries. The first
day of January last, the earth be.
gan an other circuit around the
sun, having just ended its 19o0tf
trip In this Era. Astronomers are
watching its motions every day
and find it has passed entirely
through January, and about one
half of February on its 190lth trip
being its 1st trip in the Goth century
So it wants over ten months yet tt
make it's first round in its orbit
and when it is made, it is counted
a full circle and marked A. d. 1901
That is, the earth will then hav'
made 1901 revolutions around thu
sun, since the first January morn
ing after Christ. Now for the proc
