VOL. 50 NO. 31 NEWS herald: ri THE TRAMP Manufactures Another Let ter out of Nothing, But Mtuingcg to Write About the Decadence of Dueling, And alio to Shorten His Signature and Work off Some of Last Year's Poetry at the Same Time. Ono day in tho summer that has just folded its tents and stolen nllontly away I enjoyed or failed to enjoy would per haps be the better expression a visit from a current of air which I suspected of being a cyclone. I wrote about it in a letter, to this ourna1, and also took' ad vantage of the' opportunity afforded io tell a few lies, such as I knew would be expected under the circumstances. At t lifetime I was unaware that anyone else had even realized that all the stories told about cyclones were not strictly true, but the funny Bide of the cyclone if it really has a funny side seems to have also suggested itself to Edward Willett, who, under the head of "Cyclon ic," contributed, the following lines to Tid-SiU: How broad, and thick, and deep, and high Tho Western-born tornadoes Tlut ornament the under sky With moat peculiar dadoes ! How vint the storms that rtde tho earth, Electric and cyclonic, That own a aapernatnral birth, Celestial or plntonio I How wild and weird those tempest are ! Their wonders, who can donbt them? But wilder and more wondrous far The tiles men tell about them ! However, that has nothing to do with the campaign. But it affords mo some thing TO BKOIN WITH and so I grasp it with the energy of des peration. There isn't going to bo any more fairs till away next summer, and the matrimonial outlook is even yet more obscure. John Hirons is resting his trenchant pen while he is doing the Prussian capital, so that the columns he has heretofore so charmingly filled on this page are liable to look lonely, and here your humble servant is in Hillsboro, of all places in the world the worst in which to write two or three columns about nothing. And beside it is one of these cool, unpleasant, unwelcome, rainy autumn days, all the more unpleasant by contrast with the beautiful weather of a week and more ago. But my pen has to keep going whether my brain does or not, and I really fear it is going now a great deal faster than I'm think ing. But speaking about the campaign re minds mo of General Denver, and his duel, and those things in turn remind me of something that happened when I was in Baltimore a few months ago, in the decease of .Edward S. Jones, at Cecil ton, near that city, about whom a duel ing story is related. The deceased was private secretary to his father, old COMMODORE JOKES, when the latter was in command of the navy yard at League Island, Philadel phia, and was afterwards in the marine corps, but resigned his commission about 1860 and retired to "The Anchorage." In many respects his was an interesting career. During the war he was arrested on, account of his sympathy wiih the Confederacy, and was held as a prisoner at Fort Lafayette, New York harbor. Old Commodore Jacob Jones was one of the great heroes of the war of 1812. He commanded the sloop-of-war, Wasp, which defeated and captured the British sloop-of-war, Frolic, in an engagement off the capes of Chesapeake. For this he was lionized everywhere, and patri otic citizens made him many valuable presents. The leading cities sent him services of plate and a costly sword for his gallantry. When he retired from active servico he built a residence upon a fine estate in Cecil county and named "ths anciiobage." Congress voted him thanks, a gold 'medal and $25,000 to himself and crew for capturing the Frolic. But for the dueling story : While stationed at Gibraltar, a quarrel took place between an American mer chant and a British officer. The Ameri can challenged the Englishman to fight a duel, but the officer declined, saying he could not fight the American, as he was not a gentleman. This remark came to the ears of' old Commodore Jones, who, In a tower of rage exclaimed : "Well, d n him, maybe an American Commodore's son- is good enough for him. Here, Ned, you must fight him." His son Ned sent the challenge, but it is related that it was met with' a profuse apology. By the way, one of the strongest proofs that the world is advancing in civilization is tho abandonment of "the code," as' a means of settling differences and wiping out insults. Still it seems strange that an intelligent people should have, only in comparative recent yearaj realized that the innocent man is just as liable to get killed as tlte one who is to blame for the trouble, and that the kill ing of an innocent man doesn't make right wrong In the South may yet be found traces of the barbaric idea, but it 'is dying' away more and more every, year. One antiquated old fosail whd -conducted a paper in a Misalatippltown, when I' chanced to be connected with a, Vlcksbarjt paper, a pair ot years ago, 'finding himself worsted in editorial re ,parte and made the laughing stock of journalists all over the State, intimated in the columns of his paper that a Vicksburg editor might preparo to fight a duel. Knowing that faith in the code is yet strong nmong tho peoplo of the South any prominent man might have feared for the loss of his prestige who would not have grasped at the op portunity offered to settle matters ac cordingly. In the faco of this, how in finitely braver the Vicksburger proved himself when In his next issue he said something in substance like this : "This paper is too far abreast witli civilization to approve of dueling, but it has no re tractions to make. The editor of the it has proven himself a liar, and no duel would alter that fact." The expected challenge never came. Perhaps it occurred to the other man that one who was brave enough to face a popular prejudice of the people, might also be bravo enough to stand up and be shot at if pressed. Perhaps no better statement of tho way dueling is now (and always has been) regarded by those blessed with a proper respect for right and justice has been made than in the words of tho Washington C. H., Herald, of last week, in alluding to the Denver-Gilbert affair: "While young Gilbert was provoked to send General Denver (who was known to be a first rate, reliable shot) a chal lenge to mortal combat, we have no de fense to make for him. The act was one that is not, and was not recognized as necessary and honorable in a country where the people claim to be governed by the teachings of the purer and high er law. The challenge had its origin in barbarous countries, and was itself a barbarous) heathenish act. and its ac ceptance, and its results were equally barbarous and heathenish. By no prin ciples of morality, or the principles up on which our government was founded, can the act be justified, nor is it attempt ed anywhere except where a low stan dard of morals prevails, unless It be through a mistaken idea of correct mor als, in this, the nineteenth century of the Christian era. The Constitution of Ohio, adopted in 1831, makes dueling not honorable under any circumstances, but a crime under all circumstances." Thero can't be much satisfaction in seeing the life-blood spurt from tho wound you have made in another's breast, and see his eye-balls roll in agony and hear him gasp and struggle and seo him die, simply because he insisted on it. I never saw but one man die, and his pale face and bloody wound haunted me for many a day after and was before my eyes many a sleepless night, innocent though I was of his blood. And had I been his slayer could I have ever slept since 7 Should I, in course of human events, ever be forced Into fighting a duel, I shall insist, as did the Frenchman, upon swords at forty yards. THE SIClNATlmU following this article, as you will notice, is not the one that has followed this article's predecessors in the weeks that have gone. The world moves. The tendency of everything and everybody seems to be to shorten and abbreviate, and under the pressure of the style I shall hereafter abbreviate. What has been in the past "Tramp Printer" will be simply, modestly, shortly and sweet ly, "The Tramp" which is mo. The new signature is, as was the old one, the work of my own fingers and jack-knife, and I am conceited enough to believe that as an amateur engraver my work is well, its plenty good enough anyway. But if anyone don't like it I'll have it changed. The following verses were written at Navaaota, Texas, over a year ago. Feel ing myself beginning to grow ashamed of them I hasten to insert them, fearful that If they are not soon used I may be tempted to throw them away and let them waste their sweetness in the desert air of the waste-basket. But they have given me too much anxiety for me to afford to lose them entirely, so, bad as they are, here they go : TEXAN ADTUlEf. The warm sun beata o'er the aandy plain, A mock-bird sings in tba chapperal, And orer yon hillock, again and again, Its fleet wlng'd made chirps an answering call. The cardinal bird, like a spark aglow, With rapid wing and tuneful throat ; The finch, that thrills and warbles so 'Mid thorny boughs of the grove iwift float. Like fragile barks, 'mid Isles and rocks They gnide their way amid the boughs, While black-bird in their noisy flocks Add to the fleet their sable prows. The cbacalaca whirs along And emblem ever of peace and love We hear the gontle flute-like song Of far-off, softly ooolng dove. The golden belli of tweet wild flow'rs Peep coyly np j their gentle glance Well fit for fairest, richest bow'rs Cast a glow o'er the prairie brown expanse. Upon yon knoll where grass lies dead A rabbit alts In a cozy nest, Where feeding herds with heavy tread Will scarcely come to disturb its rest. Amid the mesqnlte tha cactus grows A fepid, tloggtah streamlet flows satinet Mia al . The solitude teems a silent wall Far hope long dead. - A sound oomts over the rustling leas I halt my tread To listen aad hear but tba sighing breeze. Next week 1 will contribute a serio comic poetical gem of three stanzas, il lustrated by "me and my jack-knife," entitled, "When Bull Waa a Pup." HIGHLAND BOY Fulfills His Promise anil Writes of the O. W. U. He also Tells of Delnwnro'H Pop gulatIon, Churches, etc. jThe Tenneggean Founder Club-Board "Arkansnw Travelers" Chest nuts Finis. Melawahk, O., Oct. 22d, 1580. Dear News-Hbuai.d : You and your weekly budget of news aro welcomed visitors in my college home and serve as gentle reminders that I owe you a letter. Thesa'weekly visits and a faint recollec tion of a promise made to tell some thing about Delaware and the O. W. U. boys and girls in my next epistle, have at lost led mo to take up tho pen. School has now fairly begun. Tho judge from tho grand stand (I. o. Dr. Payne from the chapel rostrum) has said "go," and suiting tho action to his word the students of the O. W. V. have gone. Many of them, like n Jay-Eye-See or a Maud S. in the 2:10 trot, have stretched away with tho utmost speed and to a casual observer, they seem to be neck and neck, so that it is impossi ble to tell which is going to como under tho wire ahead. Others did not come right down to business in the start, but started off on a kind of a jog as though they were cither going to save them selves for tho latter part of the heat or else were just going to drive their time out and it didn't make any difference whether thoy were ruled out after the first heat or not. And lastly, it is very reasonable to suppose that thoro were still a fow others that started off like "Yankeo Doodle went to town" and of course they are not concerned in the least about being ruled out, distanced or anything of that kind ; for "pony" will take them there if he is only given time enough. I hope no one will be led to suppose that the two latter classes are in the majority here, for they are not ; they are largely in the minority, if I mistake not. But it would be exceedingly strange if there were not some of each of these classes represented among 700 students coming from more than twenty different States and territories, and at least seven foreign countries. Speaking of the different classes of students, reminds mo of the words of the old farmer: "I can't see no usa of wastin' a five-thousand-dollar eddica shun on a fifty-dollar boy, no way you can fix it up." In college parlance I will say "sound" to that, for it doesn't take a very shrewd financier to see that there would be little in any such a spec ulation from a financial point of view, and certainly little from any other stand-point. I mean, of course, that there would be littlo in it for the "old man," as the above-mentioned fifty dollar boy would doubtless style his in dulgent father, and I hardly think I am far out of the way when I say there would be very little real, genuine, sub stantial good In it for "Young America." In the language of one of my professors (who, by the way, is a native of Fayette county, where they raise big corn and fine cattle) I will say it would be better for the boy were he "adding to the pro ductive interests of his country." But a father's love is next to a mother's, and hence the reason why an occasional boy Is found in college who does not appre ciate his golden opportunities. But pardon me gentle reader, for thus giving way to my propensity to illus trate a point by telling an anecdote and at the same time bring out the sound wagon-horse sense of that almost pro verbial old farmer. I believe I am be coming fonder of a good anecdote the older I grow, and I can't remember the time I didn't love and in many respects admire, an old farmer. Boys, if I have said anything worth remembering, may it be treasured up in good and honest hearts ; If not worth remembering, why all right, I won't charge you anything for it. Barrere & Co. have agreed to foot the bill anyhow, so that neither you nor I will be out of pocket any thing. Well, I guess that will do for the preface. Tho next thing in order will be some of that "fillin"' that I prom ised in my last. ' DELAWARE Is a nobby little city situated in the central part of the State, some twenty miles north of Columbus. It is in the central part of Delaware county, of which it is the county seat and as it is also In the center of a township of the same name, it can be said that Delaware occupies a truly central position. I hardly know how large to tell you Dela ware is, but I tell you the truth when I say it is the biggest little city in the State, with perhaps the exception of Clinton Valley or perhaps it would sound more citified to say "Smith City." I wonder that "Tramp Printer" hasn't struck Delaware in hla checkered career and written it up for the benefit of your readers. It would be an excellent sub ject for hla ready pen and I think it would just suit him to a T. It is reach ed by two lines of railroad, the O. O; C. & I., and the C. H. V. & T. It has three hotels, the Central House, the Empire House and Hotel Donavln. My, but don't that last one sound Parisian like ? It is an imposingfour-storybrick structure and all of its appointments within are in keep ing with it appearance without ; in short It comes as near being a typo of the holel tie Parh as nn American hotel should. Its proprietor, Mr. J. W. Don avln. is tho gentleman whom many Hillsboronns will remember in connect ion with tho Tennesseo Singers. Mr. Donavln was the founder of the original troupe of Tennessceans and I have a dim rememberance of seeing him in the M. E. Church in Hillsboro some years ago. Ho brought in his troop at tho evening service and rendered "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and one or two more selections. I have a distinct re memberance of his remark, "I hardly think Dr. Starr's sermon brought all you folks out here to-night," and then he got ready for tho doxology. Maybe he was hitting atr me j anyhow, Earn Jones says, "the hit dog always hollers." But I haven't told you yet how large Delaware is. I asked the hotel clerk what was the number of inhabitants and he said 11,000. He saw a twinkle in my eyes that seemed to say, "rats!" and so he modified it some by taking off a couple of thousand, explaining as he did so, that they were getting up a new directory and it would contain tho first mentioned number. He supposed, though, that the discrepancy arose from rating tho students too high. Of course that was satisfactory but I could not re frain from ejaculating, "great guns! that's bad on the student" when my mathematics told mo that one student was equivalentto almost three residents. I think Delaware had barely 7,000 in habitants when I came here, a little more than two years ago, so you see there has been a gain of 1,000 a year, if we count the present population at 9,000, which is not far out of tho way. There are some good, substantial busi ness blocks here, but Delaware is more noted for her handsome residences than for her business houses. Then there are five large college buildings that are a credit to the town. I may describe these at some future time, but cannot now for want of time and space. A dozen or more of the college professors have residences that I would like to de scribe at length if timo would permit. I will mention but one, that of Dr. Payne. It is a magnificent piece of workman ship and I was about to say is a veritablo palace. Many a king has lived and died in a far less palatial mansion. It is a frame structure, and, although not what may be called a Queen Anne's Cottage, it is somewhat after that style. It was completed last year. I cannot begin to describe the Dela ware churches in this article and there fore will not attempt it. I think Dela ware might well be called "the city of churches." There are fifteen oreighteen churches here, representing at least a dozen different denominations and they are building new churches all the time. The Catholic Church completed a new building last year which is used for both church and school purposes.The com pletion of it resulted in the taking of a goodly number of pupils out of the pub lic schools whence they were transferr ed to their own school and put under the instruction of the Sisters of Charity. They will thus be brought up in the Catholic faith so that they will not de part from it when they are old. Our Catholic friends realize the full import of Solomon's words In regard to bring ing a child up in the way he should go. They have laid the foundation of an other church which looks like it covers a good part of a half acre lot. Their zeal is such as might well be imitated by other Christian denominations. The English Lutheran Church has erected a fine church building which was dedicated lost Lord's day. The ded ication sermon was preached by Dr. Ort, President of Wittenburg College, and was a masterly effort. Tho Asbury M. E. Church Is erecting a new church building which will he dedicated in the course of a few weeks. But enough on this line for the present ; I know you are already agreed with me that Dela ware is preeminently a church town. Now a few words about the O. W. U., boys and girls and I am done. The col lege opened with a larger attendance this fall than it has for several years and has now reached nearly or quite seven hundred. The quota of ladies is also larger this year than usual, so much so that Monnett Hall 'would not hold them all and consequently some were com pelled to secure rooms out in the city. The accommodations at the Hall are ex cellent, a number of improvements hav ing been made during the past summer. It must not be supposed that it is only the daughters of the select few that find a college homo at Monnett Hall. The daughter of the minister, the merchant, the doctor, the lawyer, the editor and even of the farmer there receives a cor dial welcome. I haven't much to say about the boys, more than that they are like boys the world over. They are just as fond of kicking the foot-ball and play ing leap-frog as any in the world and I was about to say could compete very favorably with the famous Rugby boys where Tom Brown went to school. To hear some ot them talk about club-board you would think it was perfectly horrible and consisted of nothing more nor less than Lalt and pepper, vinegar and tooth picks. But if you were to see those same boys kick the foot-ball for two hours at a stretch you would conclude that there Is something more substantial about that" bill of fare than reports say. As a rule! have found that club-board consists of a reasonable amount of good, wholesome food at a reasonable price. "Old Highland" Li represented this year by Messrs. Hugh Morrow, Lucas and Butler, Charles Ketcham, S. J. Brit ton and W. B. Maxey. Perhaps thero are others whoso names I have not learn ed among so many, but no slight is in tended if any name has been omitted. I believe Hamilton county will claim Mr. Ketcham this year. Alec Holz and Bob Hardy, whom some of the boys of the News-Herald family remember as two of tho "Arkansaw Travelers" are with us this year. This is the first time for Bob to be so far away from homo and I think he was a little homesick at first, but he has gotten bravely over that now. Alec 13 the same saucy, black-eyed, mlschevlous lit tle chap he used to be and likes to hunt and play foot-ball better than to eat, un less he is very hungry. He brought his gun out with him and sometimes goes out in the country a few miles on Satur day and kills some squirrels. As I brought mine along with me too, I mean to go along with him some time if I can ever spare the time from my studies and have him show me how he shoots In dians. (I hardly know about that either he might practice on me.) He said he was obliged to sell his pony this summer as she was so viscious as to kick a lady and fracture her leg. But that will do for the "Arkansaw Travelers." That kicking pony reminds mc of an old "chestnut." You may have heard it, but I will give it anyhow, to help 1111 up that third column. "My son, emu late the mule ; it is backward in deeds of violence." For fear that last column won't be full and since we are on chestnuts I will give you two or three more. Professor "We cannot taste in the dark. Nature intends us to see our food." Student "How about a blind man's dinner?" Prof. "Nature has provided liim with eye-teeth, sir." Figuratively speaking, tho Sem who asked a senior if this were his first term in college, by this act accomplished the following : She c&Bt him down upon the floor, And laughed to hear him groan, And, like good Queen Victoria, She sat upon the thrown. There was a young Sem named Mariah Who loved to sail Down the banister rail When nobody else was nigh her. Now a naughty yonng senior named Squish Deftly fixed a piece of barbed wlab, BntI don't think it best To tell yon the rest For I'm blushing already like flab. Well that is certainly enough stale "chestnuts" for onco and so I will write finis. Yours truly, HiaiiLiKi) Boy. e .

Some mow fell here Wednesday evening whloh was the first of the season. John Hill moved back to town from hit farm to spend the winter and be convenient to school.

Quite a large acreage of wheat was sown in this region and it is generally looking well, considering the dry weather. New corn is selling from 30 to 35 cents per bushel in small lots, but will donbtlesa com mand a better price wnen sufficiently dry to crib. There is an abnndance of bay to sell in thit townrhip. If tome one would come in with a good baler he might do well, piovided he could buy the hay low enough to bear shipment. Mrs. W. C. Newell met wlthwhat might have been a very serious accident Thursday. While out riding with her mother-in-law and two children one of the axles of their buggy broke and threw them all out and in her efforts to save the others, was considerably bruised np, but not dangerously hurt, we believe. John Redkey tayt when he wat young "if a young man owned a gun, an ax and a maul and wedge he wat considered in pretty fair tnape to marry and start in life on hit own hook." That wat a cheap, but substantial outfit and fnll at well adapted to the stern realities of life at the tinsel outfit required now. They surprised him. We refer to Joseph Carnet, a genial, prosperous farmer living a short distance north or town on the Anderson road. Hitherto, at bit birthday anniversary approached, Mrs. Garnet had in contemplation a surprise for him, but could not contrive a Plan to get him away from home without arout- wonld be on Snndty and the felt rare he would go to church at that wat hit custom and while the had conscientious scruples in regard to having mob a gathering on Sunday, the op portunity teemed too good to be lost and in planning for the occasion she made provision tor religious services. Mr. Carnet did not ins pect anything nntil nearing hit home from cburoh: he taw to many ot the congregation 'going the tame road and filing in at hu gate gate and even then he failed to discern why to many visitors should come at once until be wat reminded of hit age and then all wat plain without further explanation. After hearty congratulations and a sumptuous dinner, re ligious tervieea were introduced by Mrs. liar kin, a minister ot the Friends' nersuasion. who earnestly invoked the divine bleating upon all present. Short addresses were made by others after which good mutio and social intercourse filled the program up to the parting hour, when the large assemblage dispersed, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Carnet many returns ot the season. m The combination, proportion, and process in preparing Hood's Bartaparill are peculiar to this medicine, and unknown to others.

Tbe Home Reading Club have made arrange ments to meet Thursday evening of this week at the residence of Mayor Irwin. Dr. Ed McCormick, attending medical col leeg at Cincinnati, came up last Saturday night and spent 8unday with the boys. On last Thnrsday some freight cars coming in on the O.

No new cases are reported this week, and all the old cases are rapidly getting well. Married On last Wednesday, the 27th inst., by Rev. G. W. Kelley, Mr. Otto Peleger, attor-ney-at-Uw, of Cincinnati, and Miss Maggie Fox, of this city. The gloomy cold weather on last Tuesday, reminded one of the approach of winter. Overcoats aud winter toggles of all kinds were brought into use. Emerson Crowen, a young man about twenty years ot age, son of Mr. Henry Crowen, living a short distance west of town, is lying very Blck with typhoid fever. Tbe old rickety wooden shed which for some years past stood in front of tbe room occupied by Frank Baldwin and W. B. Adamt at a book ttore, has been torn away. Its disappearance is an improvement. The Warm Spring Medicine Indians that were in Hillsboro for several weeks, came here last week one warm evening. They bad quite a crowd to hear them ting, but the prospect for a large business looks rather discouraging, as the evenings are growing most too cold for out-door amusement. General Hurst's speech at the town hall last Thnrsday evening wat tbe mott sensible, and full ot more sound reasoning than any speech delivered here for many yean. Hit points on the mistake of the Republicans who have switched on to the prohibition question, were especially fine and convincing, and abould convince any one that his vote cast for prohi bition is only one man more drawn from the Republican ranks and in favor of the Demo crats. Just to note what a sensation can be caused by a dog running through town, we mention the following: On last Monday morning a tired, scared, and lost shepherd dog came run- ing down main street nnniing its way nome. When he reached the public square no lest than half a dozen yells of mad dog were heard. One young man crossing tne street tailed aronnd the corner at though a dog was never known to rnn before. Many others along the street stopped and turned around, looking wonderingly after ths lost canine, with visions of mad dogt passing before their Imaginations. A number of the farmers in this locality have advertised their names that they will prosecute any and all persons found hunting or shooting on their farms, and they also have agreed to assist each other in furnishing proof or in prosecuting to the full extent of the law. Look out boys, steer clear ot these farms and avoid trouble. The following it a list of the farms to advertised, in Highland county : J, P. MoWUliamt, W. A. Murray-H. A. Speigle, W. T. Reals, G. O. Sellers, J. W. Reed, J. N. MoWUliamt, Marion Speigle, Solomon Bpeigle, and Philip Kuhn. The list in Ross county, of the farms lying near thit place, It about three timet this number. Where is the organization known at the Tads, that once existed in Greenfield? While they lived and did their work (and it wat good work) under cover ot night, much meanness was prevented that is now being carried on without hindrance. While the Tads flourished fear of a cold bath in tbe chilly waters of Paint Creek was a great preventive for evil doing, and in some cases wat the meant of compelling tome to entirely break oft from tbelr evil wayt altogether. Now since there it no fear from that source, tin ot many klnda it growing in our midst. There are tome old chronio cases, at it were, that need a midnight batb, and we know of no other remedy for tuoh looseness so, effective and sure, at one or two visits from tbe masked Tads. Blow yonr rallying horn once more gentlemen, call the faithful band together and rid the town ot IU present human filth. Cast yonr net, keep yonr eyet ones, and In it yon will catch both the gray-hatred and youthful sinners. Borne have grown gray In tbelr wiokedneas, while othert have been but a few yean traveling the downward road. Tbe only sure ana eneouve remeay lor sucu peopw here It to let them undertUnd that the Tadt we ont, and any and all, males or females, who fall Into their dutches, are rarely dragged to the bank of Faint Creak and then and there. tooted undtr until a full and complete recanta tion of their past Uvea and a hearty promise that their future conduct will be straight and honest,' then they will be turned loose to go aad tin no more. Thit it the preventive that will prevent. LYKCIIBURH. November 1st, 1886. J. Ionizer and wife and Mrs. Strali Fields visited the Queen City to-day.
