then he will not be before the people

The DEACON AND His CALF.--Last Sun
day, just as one Of our straightest deacons was
getting ready to shake the lines over his horses
back, and say "ge dap" his wife happened to
remember that the calf hadn't been fed. The
deacon looked at his Sunday clothes, and OBJ
served that he did not deem it incumbent
upon him to suffer for the negligence of others;
to which the deaconess replied that such Ian
guage in the presence of the children, on a
Sunday morning, and from pillar of the
church, was enough to shake ones belief in
the professions that had been made by some
one she could name. The deacon handed the
lines to his eldest boy, and climbed over the
wheel, without saying word. He went
around to the front door, and took the door
key from under the mat, came around to the
back door, and as he was trying put the key
in the hole, the key slipped from his hand and
slid down into the mud. Finally he got into
the kitchen and started for the barn yard with
the milk. Heset the pail down on the ground

and called to the calf, but the beast whisked
his tail in the air, and beloved at him. Then
he captured the animal and pulled it along
by the ears and jammed its head into the pail,
but the calf gave spring, sending the milk
in a cloud of spray over the deacon's shirt
front. In trying to recapture the beast the
deacon dropped his hymn book out of his
pocket, and before he could rescue it the calf
stepped both feet on it and tore the cover off:
The deacon got mad. He took a hop-pole
and belabored the calf. One end ofth pole
struck the shed, and bounding up, knocked
the deacon's plug hat of: 1t rolled directly
under the calf, who set his foot through the
tile, and then went tearing around the yard
with his tail in the air, and that hat fastened
just above the knuckle joint. The deacon
went into the house, and as he unbuckled his
shirt-collar, he called out, "Maria, you 60 to
church, and if anybody asks after me, tell
them T staid at home to feed the calf"

INDIAN TRADIT1oN.-Here is the Yute &C.
count of the creation: "In the beginning the
earth was covered with mists. You could not
see before you. The Great Spirit took his
bow and arrows and shot-shot so we'll that
be scattered the mist. The earth became visi-
bic to him, but there were no men upon it.
Then he took clay, fashioned man and sci
him to bake. Man came out white the fire
had not been strong enough. The Great Spir.
it began his work again, and this time the
man came out quite black he had remained
too long in the oven. 1t was necessary to try
third time The experiment at length sue
ceeded, and man came out done to turn he

DoN'T TELL ALL You KNow.-It is a
bad plan to place unreserved confidence in
man or woman. Never tell any one every
thing about yourself-let there be little
mystery and reserve; your friends then will
like you all the better for it. A book that
you "know by heart" must inevitably be cast
aside for fresh volume so will you be served
if you allow yourself to be thoroughly read.
But be prepared, in any emergency, to look
your own life and acts squarely in the face
without ever finching, or making yourself a
coward. 1t is not necessary to publish to the
world all that is strictly personal, unless ridi-
cule and frittering of powers are desired ; but
if gossip makes itself busy with your name,
do not be aggrieved if grain Of truth is
spread over dozen of lies. Pass them by in
silence, and do not even then forget your ha-
bitual reticence. Justice will be done you in
lime, never fear, and the less you clamor for
it the better. Don't talk too much.

Uncle John Robinson makes it his
boast that he gives his patrons all that
his advertisements and posters promise
them, and the events OF yesterday and
last evening proved that his boast is not
an idle one. No audience has ever left a
circus-tenJ in this city more thoroughly
satisfied in having seen all that was
promised them than did those OF yester-
day afternoon and evening.


The afternoon attendance was larger

ance, and the audience in the evening
filed nearly every seat in the monster
tent. The performers were all In fine
working trim, and everything passed oil
smoothly and with entire satisfaction.


The ring performances were especially
good and were entirely free from any
objection features. They were we'll
timed and % arranged as not to prove
tiresome, and presented many novelties
of very superior quality. The excel
lent grade ofperformers was particularly
noticeable, not single inferior one ap-
pearing among the large number em-
ployed. The trained animals also proved
q highly interesting feature Of the show.


The menagerie department is especial
ly excellent. Not only are large num-
Der of animals exhibited, but they are of
a superior grade, and a study OF the
collection affords much valuable intor-
nation to all who give it their thoughtful
attention. This department is alone
we'll worthy OF visit to the show, and
no one can afford to lose the valuable in
formation 1t affords.

BAsTARDY CASES are now being tried
in the Criminal Court room before Judge
Cox.


The County Commissioners, Messrs.
Safer, Baumgardner and Huff, have gone
to Fuller's Mill station, in Clermont
county, to hold joint session with the
Commissioners Of that county for the
purpose Of considering the construction
Of a bridge across the Miami river at
that point. About two years ago a
session was held for this purpose, but
no final action could be decided upon.
Three or four subsequent sessions we're
also OF no avail. The Commissioners OF
Hamilton county at that time proposed
to pay three-fourths II Clermont county
paid one-fourth of the cost of the bridge,
but this the latter was unwilling to do.
As the bridge is of great necessity, and
as new Board of Commissioners for
Clermont county has recently been
elected, it is hoped that something will
now be done in the matter.

One of the objections which the infIa.
tiOnal Enquirer raises against a Bound
and truly Democratic explanation of the
next Democratic State Convention in
regard to the currency question is, that
then the Democratic party will not differ
from the Republican. The "Enquirer'
knows better than this. Al least, on sey.
eral occasions it has shown the differ
ence, and only assumes phase OF hay
ing entirely forgotten the Democratic
catechism. II the Democracy of Ohio
desire to show the difference to a hair
between it and the Republican party. il
needs do only two things. The first is
the adoption of strong and logical res
olution against the temperance Junaticisns.


The Guy anoya Democratic Convention
has in reference to this given goot ex-
ample. The only thing which the Demo.
cratic State Convention should do is a
repetition Of the Cuyahoga resolution
against the Adair law, and the tendency
from which it arose; and no one will
presume that the Convention is Repub-
lican. No Republican State Convention
in Ohio has, as yet, drawn up resolu-
lions against any manifestation of the
temperance fanaticism. In this the
Democratic State Convention can, with
out any trouble, show difference of the
greatest magnitude.


The second would be decided decla-
ration against the robbing aud swindling
protective tariff system, whether it ap-
pears under the mask of q Revenue tariff
with occasional protection or without a
mask. The last Democratic State Con-
vention was rather weak on this point.
Senator Thurman, who Is little too
much Of a warm brother, and will not
butt against anything, is afraid, as he
always is, and hindered a decided and
fixed expression of opinion. But if the
question is brought clearly before the
Convention this time further differ
ence between the Two parties will be pro-
vided for.


The Republicans have, through the
temperance humbug, driven Thousands
OF votes away. The Enquirer now ad-
vises the Democrats to drive thousands
Of votes away by finance humbug.
Both parties, through this, are invited to
a competitive fight. Which Of the two
can proceed the further in nonsensei

The public was much surprised by the news, last week, that Tweed had been or dered released by the New York Court of Appeals. The point made by the lawyers of the great Ring-master was that he could be sentenced but for single misdemean- or on . single indictment. The common law rule has generally been understood to be that an offender can be charged with several distinct misdemeanors in appro- priate counts, and sentenced, if the jury convict. to the cumulative penalties on the various counts This the Court of Appeals hold to be unlawful, at least by New York practice. It is understood that nu- merous new indictments will be brought against Tweed so that his success is like to be nominal rather than real.

AT recent meeting Of the Elmira On.
" Farmers Club there were some state
ments Of experience in the use Of lime.
Mr.. Fitch said that thirteen years ago he
had field so wretehedly poor that it
would produce nothing but sorrel, with
which it at last became overrun He
plowed it, planted potatoes and Of course
got no crop. The next season he spread
300 bushels Of lime on about six acres, or
half the field, this being sufficient to give
quite thick covering. He expected thus
TO overcome the sorrel, regarding lime as
an antidote to this plant. He again put
in potatoes, was rewarded with fine
harvest, and the sorrel has never since re
appeared. The land was completely reno
waited by the single application, and even
to this day traces Of the lime come up
with each repeated turning of the soil.
The next year, without further fertilizing,
he had an excellent harvest of oats With
this crop the field was laid down to grass,
which made good catch, and grew lux
uriantly where grass would not grow be-
fore. AT subsequent plowings other ma
nures were used, and the piece has always
proved reliable for whatever crop Mr..
Fitch has cared to raise.


The same speakercited another instance
illustrating the advantage of lime on wet,
cold, and poor soil, subsequently success
fully cropped with wheat. Mention was
made of the limestone region in the yicini-
ty Of Little Rock, agriculturally as rich as
any portion Of Pennsylvania, and it was
said that it is common sight to see there
the bushel and half-bushel heaps dumped
on the fields every eight or ten feet Mr..
Armstrong remarked that it was one of
the paradoxes of chemistry, as applied to
agriculture, that lime seems to act more
beuefcially on limestone or hard water
land. Mr.. Heller said the best way to
apply lime is after the land is plowed in
the spring, and about ten days before
planting. An argument in favor Of this
surface application Is that it win effect the
speedy death of such cut worms as may be
waiting for corn In the blade. The value
Of lime as an element to be used with
muck, in composing, was touched on. 1t
was said that lime had not been much used
by members Of this club, owing to its cost
40 or so cents bushel being asked.
Recently, however, by combination, an ar
rangement has been effected which viii
enable members to obtain such quantities
as may be needed at $50 per hundred
bushels, and hereafter there win be little
excuse for neglect in testing this applica-
cation on each and every farm represented
in this live association.

REGULAR WEEKLY MEETING YESTERDAY.


At the regular weekly meeting of the Park Commits

that 1t will be necessary for the Park Commissioners to

down, and thereby enailing great expense The Park
Commissioners say the winter is far ad-

ing New will have TO be discontinued very
and not resumed until spring

which the Board OF Apportionment have reduced the
amount for next year BY 100000. Colonel Stebbns

1t has been intimated to US, from trust
worthy source, that very marked change
in the fashion of ladies' dresses is ir1pend-
ing. This is the abolition OF redundant
trimming, of gimps, jets, bugles, BEADS
ribbons, and what not, that our women
are so fond of hanging about their persons.
In nothing have our women so unmlstaK-
ably indicated their inferior intellectual
plane to men than in their fashions OF
dress. That they should be attired richly
and elegantly, is what every man OF hbera!
taste comedies but that they should
cpaselesslv mistake meaningless ornament
for beauty is what every man of cultivated
taste deplores. 1t is specially in dress
trimmings that deficiency of culture Is
manifested-fO these Outhanglngs are
almost invariably senseless additions; they
destroy simplicity and unity of design !;
they break up lines and diffuse effect; they
destroy the nobility and the largeness and
the essential character of the dress upon
which they are i-ttached. There is another
extreme of badness, but better this than
the current taste for display that is es-
sentially barbaric in its nature. AwOman
who loads her dress with ornaments
simply because they are ornaments, Is
animated by the identical impulse that
stimulates a savage to cover himself WIN
beads. The distinct difference between the
barbaric and the civilized in the use OF
decoration is that the one is intelligenuy
directed to a unity of plan and harmony OF
parts. while the other is an impulse tnat
delights in the extraneous Tor lts own
sake.-AppLeton' Journal.
