CARE OF FURs AND WooLENs.-We are

that there is no efficacy in camphor, tobac-
CO. drugs, or even cedar closets, in protect


ing furs and woolen stutfs against the moth.
They only lull us into fancied security, to
wake and find our most valued furs and
cloths ruined by these mischeveous little I'M
sects. To preserve these articles with entire
safety, shake them thoroughly in order that
any moth already in them may be dislodged;
then place them in close cotton or linen bags
as tightly as possible to exclude the miller,
and there will be no danger from the moth.
There need be no special place to hang the
bags in-garret wardrobe, or closet, is all

DUTIES OF OFFICERS OF ELECTION Of
ficers of election in the various precincts
throughout the county, have it in charge to
see that no illegal votes are permitted to be
deposited in the ballot box. If stranger
presents his ballot, it is the duty of the
judges and inspector to chalange his vote,
and if he persists in voting, to administer the
oath as laid down In the Election Law, and
to keep careful record of the fact that the
oath was administered. Let it be also borne
in mind that the Attorney General of the
State has rendered an able opini on upon the
question of what constitutes voter. Re


iiember that no person is entitled to vote at
this election unless he has resided within the
borders of this State for six months next pre-
eeding the election, and within the county for
thirty days. Emigrants cannot vote at this
election unless they arrived within this State
over six months ago, with the Intention Of
making this their home. The opinion that
has heretofore prevailed that an migrant to
this State gained his residence from the time
he left the old States and started on his jour
ney, has been set aside Attorney General
Pixley's opinion is now the rule TO govern the

.laye, say you. and yet he STOOD
Up straight beneath Gods sky
And very rarely man on earth
Has uttered words more high,
Roll back the scroll of history,
Recall each ancient word,
Find If You can, nobler phrase
By which our hearts are stirred.
A slave! How do we measure man:
Not now by birth or gold
By spear that led the listed field,
BY finer, fairer mould,
with earth's past youth, these teets have passed.
We measure better now
By size of mind, by warmth Of heart,
By soul-ight on the brow.
So measure them this manor slave!
He woke to sudden hope
OF freedom both for soul and limb
OF wider thought and scope;
His pulses met with eager beat
The first day Of the year.
As larks that rise with hurried wing



To greet the day spring near.
Cpon that dream of life broke in
The fatal words, mot free,
To save the millions Of the south
Our hands must pass by thee"
Oh. many heart break less than this,
And many lesser wrong
Has swept away in ruins flood
Our great men, and our strong.
But he, the slave, looked calmly back
Through grief to Calvary,
Then spoke, with sweetness drawn from thence
.sTo make my people free
take myself with willing heart
The future of the slave,
And bless the hand that passes me.
My helpless race to save"
The measure of a man! Not so!
We need wider span,
An angels measure 1t must be
To measure such man.
How small to cur blind eyes may seem
The struggle and the pain,
Failing the while to comprehend
The victory and the gain.

THE TRUE PHYsIcIAN.-To the true ply
sician there is an inexpressible sanctity in
tie sick chamber. At its Threshold the
mere human passions quit their hold on his
heart. Love there would be profanstion.-
Even the grief permitted to others must be
put aside. He must enter that room with q
calm intelligence. He is disabled for bis
mission if he suffer aught to obscure the
keen, quiet glance of his science. Age or
youth, beauty or deformity, innocence or
guilt merge their distinction in one common
attribute-human suffering appealing to hu-
man skill. Woe to the household in which
the trusted healer feels not on his conscience
the solemn obligations of his gloriou. art.

The Ladies making preliminary ar
rangements for the Great " csternSani-
tary Fair, to be held ut Cincinnati, on
or about the 18th of December, hope
that all ladies Of the North, as well as
all the loyal men, will cooperate with
them in this great effort to minister to
the comfort Of their k'ndred-tathers,
brothers, husbands and sons-in the
camp and in the field, exposed not on
y to the imminent and terrible casu-
aIties Of battle, but also to hunger and
thirst, sickness and death, away from
home, friends and kindred, with no
mothers or sisters hand to smooth
their pillows, nor sympathising hearts
tocheer and comiortthcm in their hours
Of anguish and sorrow.


The time is short for preparation; but
so much the more urgent the necessity
for immediate, energetic, united and
wholesoulcd effort to make this Fair
yield the largest possible amount, to
aid in alleviating the sutferings Of our
brave and self-sacrifcing soldiers.


This appeal is intended so to be as
broad as the interest in this cause is
universal. They ask the widows
mite. They ask the rich to contribute
Of their abundance. In short, they
plead that the heads, hearts, and hands
of all may be cheorlulIy, earnestly and
heartily engaged, in this most com
mendabIc work. They ask not for
money only. They ask for goods,
wares and merchandise. They ask for
that which is ornamental, as well as for
that which is useful. They ask for
the handiwork Of the cunning crafts
man, as well rs for fancy articles from
the hands Of their country women
They ask for something from all, of all
creeds and all professions; from the
rich and from the poor from the learn
ed and from the unlearned. They ask
for dAything that will sell and that is
appropriate TO be sold at such Il Fair
and for such a purpose.


Finally, they ask all to rork-to
work noU-and to continue to work
until the Fair is over.


This Gppeal is not intended to be lin,
tied in any sense by State, party or
sectarian lines. 1t is addressed to the
loyal everywhere, 1t is hoped that, as
far as possible, every State, every
Church. and as tar as practicable, every
individual not in the army, will be
represented at this Fair by some sub
stantal token of their good will to the
cause.

John Brough, the Republican can
didate for Governor, in his Marietta
speech on June 10, said, by way Of
apology for illegal and arbitrary ar
rests:


"But you have another ebjecti onto
this war, and that is this matter Of
the arbitrary arrest of some men who
have not boen content with thinking
treason, but have been talking it ra.
ther loud. There's been about half a
dozen men taken down to Fort Lafay-
ette-perhaps there is one in Dixie
now. Laughter.] You say these
men have been arbitrarily taken with>
out warrant in the Constitution. Some
legal mouser has sat down and count
ed it over, and has not found anything
to justify it. He has found that they
never expected any such state Of things,
and therefore there was nothing put
into the Constitution to meet it!- Trea-
son shall consist Of one overt act
talking is. not an overt act. We must
not forget that the fundamental prin-
ciple of allgovernments on earth pla-
ces a large discretionary power in the
hands of the rulers of the land for ca
ses of this kind. The old legal max
i'm is, that the laws are silent in the
presence Of arms. You have very
little cause to complain here-if you
had been down South I think you
would have had much more" sJ 7


If that is not the essence Of tyran.
ny and despotism, what is it? Mr..
Brough considers it avERY SMALL
matter to arrest men without any le-
gal authority or Justification. He
considers it very small matter for
rulers to violate q Constitution they
have sworn to support, Ho considers
it, therefore, very small matter to
commit perjury! We wonder if Mr..
Brough would consider it small mat
ter if he should be seized without any
legal warrant or authority, and in vio-
lation of the Constitution, thrust into
prison or into exile? Would he call
the person who noticed the outrage,
.4 o. "a. ID ..
and held it up topublic condemnation,
q s1egal mousera" Does he consider
his rights and privileges more sacred
than these Of his fellow citizens, who
