LITTLE RATTEY.
BY B. KU8H BOl'DE.
A wandering gamin of Gotham
A rude little boy of the street
You would call him a child of the gutter.
With his naked and earth-besoiledfeet;
Yet he had a brave heart in his bosom,
A soul that can dare and can do
But we'll let the lad tell his own story.
And I'll vouch, on my honor, 'tis true:
"My name, sir, is simply James Conners,
But, as I'm a bit of a sport.
The boys do not call me by that name.
But nickname me "Rattey," for short;
On week days I peddle the papers,
Because I am fond of the news,
And sometimes, when bus'ness is slack sir,
I blacken the gentlemen's shoes.
"I was down by the river last Sunday
The day of the terrible shock
A-flshing, along with my brother,
For catties and eels in the dock,
When a sound as of steam in escaping,
And then a report like a gun
Then my brother was down in the water
But I thought It was only in fun.
"But I went for him then, sir, I bet you!
But Lord, he was out in a wink;
And, I tell you things got to be lively
You didn't half know what to think:
But I saw two half-drownded babies.
And heard their ooor. Dltitul crv.
So I slung off my shoes and my jacket,
Determined to save uieiu or uie.
"Well I got them safe out in a minute
Graoned one oy its wee nine shirt.
And brought them away to their mother,
All euiltnd. hut more frightened than hurt:
Then I dived in the dock for some others,
And saved oh, a dozen or more;
But then I got weak and exhausted.
So swam back again to tne snore.
"I tell you, now, matters was livelv
You didn't have time to stand still
There wrs only one way, sir, to save them,
Ana mat was to wte wiwi win;
Twixt the fire and the steam and the water
Twirt the trasrments of wreck aud the rest-
I didn't have much time for thinking.
But did what i to oe oest"
All honor to brave little Rattey!
He mav not be handsome nor smart
But somewhere beneath his torn jacket
He hirtetn a mx maniv neart:
Untaught in the maxims of morals.
A I'.llllil UI me niuiiis nuu uiv uiiitr,
He fathomed man's duty aud did it-
Aye, did it twixt water anu nre.

NOTICE. The attention of all who de
sire a good family newspaper is directed to
the following facts in regard to the
PAINESVILLE JOURNAL.
1st. It is the LARGEST PAPER that is
nam, or ever has been, published in Lake
ounty. .'.
za. n contains uuju o more
matter in each issue than any other paper
in the county.
3d. It presents each week an amount of
reading matter DOUBLE that of any other
one paper, and MORE than that given by
ALL THE OTHER PAPERS of the
county COMBINED.
4th. Its contents are always fresh, inter
esting and varied, its stories new, its arti
cles carefully prepared and its jokes and
miscellany spicy and piquant.
5th. It presents more original matter than
all the other Lake county papers put together,
and has a larger list of contributors among
the ablest writers of the country than any
other paper in Northern Ohio.
To advertisers, the JOURNAL is able to
offer greatly superior advantages, as its pres
ent edition is LARGER than that of ANY
other paper in the county.
LOCAL ITEMS.
Sew Harness and New Household Fur
niture will be sold at the Auction Store
this afternoon.
The Probate Court is a poor place to fur
nish Items. No criminal case has been
tried since the first of July.
There was a fire off in a southeasterly
direction on Thursday evening, but we
have not learned what it was.
A letter from our Willoughby corres
pondent was duly received, but too late
for publication in this number.
The pulpit of the Congregational church
will be filled to-morrow by the regular in-
cumbant the Rev. Mr. Haydn.
One or two good canvassers can find em
ployment by applying at this oflice during
the coming week. None but experienced
and competent men are wanted.
The new gas well being put down at the
Seminary is progressing slowly. At
depth of forty feet rock was struck, and
the drill is now about fifteen feet into this,
Joseph Malkin, an Englishman, who re
sides at Willoughby, has been the only
fortunate foreigner who has become an
American citizen during the past month
On the fourth page will be found a valu
able table giving the time of holding the
agricultural fairs throughout the State
and also the names of the officers of each
association.
Some of our law-abiding roughs took oc
casion to tear down a portion of the fence
around Mr. Morley's yard a few evenings
since. Where were the police? We for
get, there are none.
The law compels traveling minstrels to
take out a (permit. We wish tue law
could be enforced in the case of certain
cats hereabouts. Either make them travel
or take out a license.
Another large reservoir is being put
down near the upper end of the park and
immediately in front of the First Congre
gational Church. Its capacity will be
about eight hundred barrels.
I'ettyfogsing must be poor business here
for lawyers and justices. But "it's an ill
wind that blows nobodv good." If the
members of the profession don't make
anything their clients don't lose anything,
The firm of Gardner and Young, homeo
pathic physicians, has been dissolved, as
may be seen by card in another column,
Dr. Gardner will hereafter be found at the
rooms over Holcomb Gould's hardware
store, on Main street.
Mirabile Dictu. At last Jake Llndsey
has succeeded in getting so beastly drunk
and in making such a disgusting nuisance
of himself upon our streets that he has
actually been arrested and placed in du
rance vile. Wonderful as it may seem, it
is positively true. -
Last week Scott Crowell of Mentor was
thrown from his horse and had his leg
badly fractnred. . Dr. H. H. Jackson was
called and set the leg. At present writing
Mr. Crowell is doing as well' as might be
expected under the skillful treatment of
our friend the Dr.
One of the most accommodating of men
is Weed, of the Cleveland Omnibus Line.
It is certainly to be hoped that the pro
prietors will never take him off his present
run, for if they do we should never find any
one to fill his place.
Marriages are evidently on the decrease.
In July but seven licenses were issued by
the Probate Judge and only four have
thus far availed themselves of the heated
term during the present month. The
country will be depopulated at this rate.
At a dance the other evening a certain
doctor of this place was asked to take a
partner for the Lancers. With one of his
inimitable bows he replied that he "could
do much better, lancing the dancers than
dancing the lancers." . Not bad that for a
native of an alien clime.
A. & P. Telegraph Co. The oflice of
this company has lately been removed to
No. 114 Main street, where it now occu
pies a portion of the counting-room of this
paper. Joel Doolittle, Esq., the gentle
manly and accommodating agent, still has
charge of the business, and will be pleased
to see all old as well as new friends.
A Business Directory. Every busi
ness man in the city should have his name
in our advertising columns. This is the
place where those outside will look to see
what business is carried on in the city,
and will form an opinion of the place ac
cordingly. In this way you can let people
know you are in business, and help repre
sent the city abroad, at an expense that
is.a mere trifle.
Last Sunday evening the upper part of
the town was disturbed by the howlings of
a party of rowdies, who were trying to
work off the whiskey they had soaked by
making night hideous. . We tried to find
out their names, so that the peaceful citi
zens might have known to whom they
were indebted for their nocturnal serenade.
But fortunately Tor them no one was able
to recognize their melodious voices.
Fire. Thursday evening about nine
o'clock the dwelling of Curtis Seely was
discovered to be on fire. The engines
were promptly upon the ground and
the flames were soon extinguished. It was
certainly extremely fortunate that water
enough for the occasion was found in the
wells around, for in that part of the town
no reservoirs have been provided.5 We
did not learn whether or not the loss of
Mr. Seely was covered by insurance.
To Navigators. The following new or
der has been issued by the Board of Light
houses: On and after the 10th inst., a
third order fixed white light will be shown
from the new light-house tower at the
mouth of Grand River, Fairport, Ohio.
The height of focal plane above the mean
lake level, 100 feet; tower of light-colored
sandstone. The light should be seen from
the deck of a vessel, in clear weather, for
a distance of 17 statute miles.
Lake Shore. The attractions of cool
breezes, dancing waves, clear skies and
beautiful scenery prove too much for our
citizens to withstand, and the past week
has seen a continued exodus from the heat
and dust of the town to the shores of our
blue-mirrored lake.' Pic-nlcs varying in
numbers from two to fifty have been nume
rous, and the smiling faces that return
from these jaunts proclaim louder than
Verbal praises the pleasure which they
have enjoyed.
Drunk. The band that came down from
Cleveland to play at the Stockwell House
last Friday evening succeeded in getting
the drunkest in the shortest space of time
of any band that we ever remember to
have noticed. It was a pity too, because
when sober they made fine music and the
serenades given in the early part of the
evening were really a treat- to those who
heard them. But of those given towards
morning . To imitate Dante we here
leave an awful pause.
A Rival. The success of the Little
Mountain in procuring recognition as a
place whose attractions are second to none
in the State, has borne its legitimate result.
Another elevation formerly known as
Gildersleeve . Mountain, but .' lately . re
christened under the name of Lake View
has sprung into notice. It is located in
Kirtland, and claims to have many advan
tages which Will commend it to the lovers
of the beautiful in nature. .
P. & Y. R. R. The work on this road is
being pushed ahead with a vigor which
argues well for its early completion. The
corps of engineers, led by Chief J. C,
Sharpless, has already gone upon the line
beyond Chardon. In another column we
publish a call for two hundred more labor
ers to go on the road immediately, which
number, added to those already employed;
will make an aggregate of considerably
more than three hundred. '
Pastoral Vacation. On Sunday eve
ning the Bev. J. W. Ingram, pastor of the
Disciple Church, in this place, will leave
for a trip to the West. He intends to visit
large portion of tha.t attractive .portion
of our country, and will be absent about
four weeks. ; We understand that a series
of meetings will be commenced in Hum
boldt City about the 26th inst., under the
management of the reverend gentleman.
During his absence the pulpit of his church
will be filled by the Rev. Mr. Haley, of
California. " "
Paines'vtli.k concerts. in - conse
quence of the absence of Geo. Burt, the
leader of our cornet band, there will be no
concert in the Park on Monday evening
next. Burt is now enjoying his summer
vacation the year for which he was en.
gaged having ended on the 1st inst., and
.the new season not commencing until the
first of September. Much as' all regret the
loss of our favorite out-door concert, yet
no one can begrudge Mr. Burt the enjoy
ment ot his well earned leisure.
The Weather. During the fore part of
the past week the heat was most oppress
ive, averaging among the nineties. On
Tuesday the thermometer showed a raise
of over one hundred. But all this was too
much to last, and on Wednesday after
noon there was a most delightful shower,
which left the air so cool and clear, and
the foliage that before had hung limp,
lifeless and scorched so bright and green,
that it scarcely seemed to be the same
world of the day before. Since the rain
the weather has continued cool and pleas-
ant.
The Disciple Sunday School went to the
rieauianus on tveunesaay lor pic-nic
pleasures. There was a very general turn,
out of all the friends of the school. Both
band wagons were called out and were
well filled with the scholars. The beauti
ful dinner provided by the ladies was sim
ply superb, and was dispatched with a
relish. The hours of childish frolic and
fun were broken in upon early in the after
noon by a "blow" from the lake, which
sent the party home a little ahead of time,
This school, we are pleased to say, is in a
very prosperous condition, and is doing
nneiy under the superintendeiicy of V. D,
liyar. . .
Jb Printing.
The patronage which we have already
received shows plainly that the new
presses, new type and competent workmen
which are found at the Journal Job
Printing House are fully appreciated by
the public
Our material is all new, of the best qua!
ity andJatest styles; our workmen are the
most competent that can be procured, and
are masters of their profession; so that
we feel confident in saying that our facili
ties for executing all kinds of job printing,
Blank Work, Bill-Heads, Cards, Letter
Heads, and in fact everything that may be
wanted by professional or mercantile
firms, are superior to any other establish
ment in the place. Our terms are always
as cheap as can be afforded by any estab
lishment in the State, and our rule is that
satisfaction shall be guaranteed in every
instance.
Concert on Tnesctay Evening.
As will be seen by reference to our ad
vertising columns a concert and elocu
tional entertainment will be given on
Tuesday evening next, at Childs' Hall, for
the benefit of the library of St. James
Parish. Aside from any intrinsic merit
in the published programme, the low-
price of admission, together with the
avowed object of the exhibition, ought to
insure a. crowded house. In the present

we are assured that too high praise cannot
be given. For some time a Professor at
one of the Educational Institutions in
Cincinnati, he has also held the position

said to equal, if not excel, any artist who
has ever: before appeared in this place.

The lovers of perfect harmony who may
have attended the Episcopal or Congrega
tional Churches on Sunday before last-
anrt last Sunday respectively, had an op
portunity for gratifying their taste such as
but seldom afforded. In the former
church Mrs. Emma Hills presided at the
organ, while the singing of Miss Agnes
Moshier, formerly of this place, was added
to that of the regular choir. Of the play
ing of Mrs. Hills it is almost useless to
speak, as our readers are all so well ac
quainted with her abilities, and have on so
many occasions enjoyed the melody which
seems to come from the instrument at her
command. The singing of Miss Moshier
was also very fine.. She possesses a voice
which, while clear and powerful, is yet
round and full, without any disagreeable
"shakiness" or hesitancy on the upper
notes, and the cultivation and culture of
which is almost perfect. The duet entitled
;Bow down thy ear," by Mr. S. B. Hamlin,
who has lately taken the leadership of the
choir of that church, and Miss Moshier,
was very beautifully renaereti. in tne
Congregational Church Mr. Thompson
Moshier gave a beautiful tenor solo in the
evening.

For nearly sixteen months the deceased
had been confined to his house by the long,
lingering illness which has finally ended
with his death. One of our oldest citizens
esteemed and loved by all who knew
him his loss will be. felt not alone by his
family, but by an entirecommunity as
well.
Mr. Doolittle was a native of Vermont,
and was the eldest son of Joel and Sarah
Doolittle. He was a graduate of Mid-
dlebury College, and after leaving that in
stitution studied law in the oflice of his
father, who was for many years- Judge of
the Supreme Court of his native State,
jn 1837 Mr. Doolittle came to this place,
where-, with the exception of two years
spent in the practice of his profession at
Huron, he has ever since resided. For
over a quarter of a century he has held
the oflice of magistrate. '
Thus has passed away one whose whole
life had been so pure and honorable in
every relation, whether public or private,
that naught but- the sorrowing sympathy
of all is extended to his bereaved family.
Kind and perfectly unselfish generous

jwhich his hand was always but too willing
to execute be was one whose life was a
practical illustration of the Christian prin

ally appeared upon the window-frames of
certain favored localities. These have al
most always been faces or heads, and on
ly in one or two cases have they been sup-
pesed to bear any resemblance to any per
sons knwn to those who saw them. What
ever may be the cause that produce
them at all events the fact that
the pictures are to be seen is too well au
thenticated to be doubted. Last week
one of these curious phenomena was dis
covered upon one of the windows of the
upper story in the block, .corner of Main
and St. Clair Btreets. It was apparently
the hand of an old man with the face look
ing towards the north. It was first seen
by Warren Current, Esq., and is, as he
says, fully equal to any that he has ever
examined in other sections. This week
another was found by Geo. R. Cowles
Esq., in the second Btory of Moodey's
Block, opposite the Cowles House. It is
apparently the head of a young person,
and is very plain and perfect, the outlines
being much sharper than in the one first
seen. A curious circumstance in connec
tion with these appearances is that al
though plainly perceptable from the out
side, yet they are totally . invisible to one
standing upon the inside of the window
These two have been subject to a trial with
sand and water and it has been found
impossible to remove them. Their ap
pearauce is unaccountable, as their re
cent origin is too r-srtain to be disputed
The theory that they are caused by clouds
in the glass is evidently wrong, forhi that
case they would always have been appar
ent, whereas these have only become visi
ble within a short time. It may be tha
we shall hear of others in different poi-
tions ot the town, and if so we also hope
to hear some satifactory solution of the
causes that lead to these strange phenomena.
Locals From Otber Localities,
About nine o'clock Tuesday evening the
residents at the depot were startled by
loud report, instantly succeeded by a large
volume of flame and smoke on the railroad
track. An investigation revealed the fact
that an explosion, burning two men, had
occurred in one of the wooken tanks of an
oil car, under the following odd circum
stance: frank fceelev, the young man
who lost an arm some time since, by hav
ing it crushed while coupling cars, ob
tained permission of the oil company, at
Cleveland, to gather what oil remained in
the car tanks after they had been emptied
at the refineries. He was thus employed
Tuesday evening, and while he was pump
ing out a wooden tank, his brother, George
Seeley, and a brakeman on the Oil Creek
Railroad, named F. Betch, came up. The
two mounted the car and peered into the
tank, George thoughtlessly putting his
lighted lantern inside. An explosion in
stantly followed, George Seeley and
Betch being quite severely burned on
their faces, necks, arms and hands by the
rushing flames. Dr. Travlor was called in
and rendered such professional aid a;
their injuries required. Girard Cosmop

viction of the thief. Ibid.
Between six and seven o'clock Tuesday
morning it rained so hard at f ail-view
that the roads were almost flooded, while
here, though parched humanity held up
its mouth like Dives, not a drop fell. If,
as is said, it rains on the just as well as
the unjust, why can't the former as well
as the latter get an occasional sprinkle?

The Senatorial Convention.
The Senatorial Convention held at Madi
son on Tuesday last, was undoubtedly the
warmest convention ever held in Lake
County. With the thermometer at ninety
eight in the shade and political excitement
at fever heat, it will readily be believed
that the convention was the warmest on
record. A goodly number of the Republi
cans of Painesville, together with some of
the "Unterrified," accompanied the dele
gation to Madison, and if they did not pour
out their blood upon the altar of their
country they did pour out perspiration by
the gallon upon the altar of the party.
Such fealty to party and such devotion to
one's friends as was witnessed at Madison
on Tuesday is really refreshing in these
days of selfishness and corruption.
When we arrived at Madison on
Tuesday morning, we found the only hotel
in the place running over with delegates
from the three counties, who tilled porches,
halls and oflice, and who were eternally
engaged in canvassing the prospects of
the prospective candidates.
The convention was called to order by
Mr. J. F. Scofield, chairman of the execu
tive committee.
Hon. A. Wilcox was chosen Chairman,
and T. S. Winship, of Ashtabula, Thomas
King, ofLake, and J. C. Hathaway, of Ge
auga were elected Secretaries. On motion
of H. C. Gray the Chair appointed a com
mittee of five on credentials, consisting of
the following persons: S. Haywood, LG.
Maynard, H.G. Gray, I. N. Hathaway and
S. A. North way. The convention then ad
journed until 2 p.m.
The next thing in order was dinner.
"Mine host" Anderson of the Madison
House had filled his dining-room with
tables until there was scarce room to get
around between them, and these tables
were loaded with an assortment of victuals
that would have done honor to a first-class
thanksgiving dinner. These tables were
filled the second and third time by hungry
delegates, and still there was no letting up
on the supply of victuals. How they had
ever prepared so much with the thermom
eter in the nineties, is beyond our com
prehension. On reassembling the convention the
committee on credentials reported the del
egations all full and the convention ready
for business. The following names were
then presented to the convention : for Com
mon Pleas Judge, Hon. M. C. Canfield of
Geauga, Hon. D. Cad well and Chas. Booth
of Ashtabula; for State Senator Gen. J. S.
Casement, ofLake and S. S. Burrows,, of
Ashtabula.
The Chair appointed S. J. Smith, M. B.
Cook and J. V. Whitney as tellers, and a
ballot was taken for Judge, resulting as
follows: Canfield 42; Cadwell 22, and Booth
2 votes. Mr. Canfield was declared the
nominee, and on motion of a delegate from
Ashtabula county his nomination was
made unanimous. :
At this point a motion was made . that
Gen. J. S, Casement be hominated by ac
clamation for Senator. The nomination
was carried without opposition and "J ack"
declared the nominee. Loud calls were
then made for Casement and the General
responded briefly. He said it was useless
to expect a speech oh that occasion.
Doubtless many would be surprised at his
nomination, but no one could possibly be
more surprised than himself. He had come
there in the morning intending to work
hard for older and better men. ' When the
subject was first broached to him he had
declared tiat under no consideration
would he consent to be a candidate before
the convention; but circumstances had
changed his mind and he had yielded to
what seemed an imiierative duty. He
could onlv return them his heartfelt thanks
a.nH nledo-o them that if plert.ed as1 hp ppr- 1
and pledge tnem that u eiecteu, as; ne cer-
the duties of the oflice to the best of his
ability.
Calls were then made for Mr. Canfield,
and the Chair appointed a committee to
escort him to the hall. Having been intro
duced to the convention, he said that he
had been informed that he was the choice
of the convention for the position to which
his friends had asflired to place him, and
that he accepted the position in the same
spirit in which it was tendered. It was
proper for him to say that he was aware
that this honor bad been conferred npon
him as the representative of his 'county.
And he was gratified to know that the old
county of Geauga, dwarfed as she was of
all her original proportions, having for
merly extended from the Pennsylvania
line to the banks of the Cuyahoga; having
seen county after county taken from her
until she had stood alone weaker than any
of her children, could have her claims
recognized in this convention, He re
turned his sincere thanks to the members
of the convention and promised , to bring
all the ability he posessed to the position
to which he was about to be elected. Mr.
Canfields remarks produced an excellent
impression as did also those of General
Casement.
Scofield of the Telegraph, Howell of the
Sntinel,a.nd Converse of the Democratwere
appointed as Central Committee for .the
ensuing year. The convention then ad
journed. Everything was harmonious and
smooth upon the outside. - If there was
any ill feeling under the surface it was
not manifest to an outsider.
Successful SwindUngRurs;lary and.
- Horse Theft.
Yesterday morning about eight o'clock a
short, thick-set man, of perhaps twenty
five years of age, stepped into the clothing
store of Hadeler & Duke and inquired for
ready-made suit. He spent but a short
time in examining the goods desired, se
lecting a suit so readily and making so
little haggling about the price that Mr.
Hadeler says he regarded him with suspi.
cion from the first. Having chosen such
goods as he desired, he next purchased a
small satchel and had his purchases
packed into this. Altogether the bill
amounted to about thirty dollars. In pay
ment the stranger offered a certificate of
deposite upon Wilcox's bank, made out in
favor of Mr. Gray, stating that he was a son
of that gentleman. Being somewhat suspi
cious of his customer Mr. Hadeler sent the
certificate to the bank, where he was told
it was genuine and would be all right if
endorsed by the bearer. Upon the strength
of this Mr. Hadeler accepted the paper
and deducting the amount of his bill paid
over the balance to the stranger. Taking
liis newly-purchased satchel and its con
tents the man went to the jewelry store of
R. S. Wood, where he bought a watch and
tendered another certificate for $100, also
made out in favor of Mr. Gray, in payment,
As the watch, however, needed some re
pairs, he left that, together with the
certificate and saying that he would short
ly return, left the store. A few minutes
later a messenger came to Mr. Hadeler,
from the Bank, saying therejmustbe some
mistake as Mr. Gray was out of town,
aud besides that dld'nt have any son
Dim visions of a lost suit of clothing and
vanished greenbacks rose before Mr. Had-
eler's eyes with a distinctness that led him
instantly into a search.for the young man
who said he was a son of Mr. Grav when
Mr. Gray had never been blessed witth
any offspring. Failing to find the youth
who labored under this strange mistake a
visit was paid to the residence of the gen-
tleman named Gray when it was found
that the entire family were away from
town, and the house shut up. Further in
vestigation showed that the dwelling had
been successfully burglarized and the cer-
tlflcates obtained in that way. The visions
began to assume too distinct a form to be
pleasant and a diligent search was insti
tuted for the erring one, who, by the way-
had failed to return to Mr. Wood's for cith
er certificate or watch. It was found that
he had obtained a horse and buggy from
the livery stable of Garfield & Jewell
witu tne avowed purpose of going to Men
tor. Parties immediately started in pur
suit but up to the present writing have not
succeeded in capturing the fugitive.

Ed. Painesville Journal:
When we read the article copied by one
of your papers from the Jeffersonian with
reference to us and our horses.we laughed
heartily, because of the utter falsity of the
statement contained therein (for no
such occurrance had ever taken place )
as well as on account of the stupidity of
fellow who wrote it, and the imposition
practised upon our triend Brown. We in
tended to take no notice of it; but now,
seeing it republished in an extensively
circulating journal of our county we
thought proper to say to the editor of that
paper that we entertain no fear as to the
reputation of pu horses, for whosoever
desires to purcase them, will test their
speed at our request our only fear is that
the editor, in, pursuing the course that he
has adoped in publishing all manner of
silly, nonsensical, and ill-gotten-up lies,
will in a , short time have the exclusive
pleasure ot reading, along with the cor
respondent, his highly enterprising paper,

Woman's Rights.
Mr. Editor: In looking over your ably
conducted journal I was much pleased to
see that there waB one editor in all the
land that had the courage to say a word
against the so-called Woman's Rights and
to denounce in merited terms those would-
be leaders that are traveling through the
country singing praises to the vile harlot
and murderess and denouncing the sacred
ties that bind society together. There are
but few editors that will write against this
"new departure." Our Radical leaders
are compelled to cry out, "Gr.eat is the
Goddess Diana," otherwise their craft
would be in danger, as we poor Demo
crats, and more especially our Democratic
editors, would not oppose woman's voting,
for we know they are in favor of a Demo
cratic government.
Now, I have not a wish to deprive the
dear ones of one right that Nature or Na
ture's God gave them, and when a major
ity of the fair ones ask to vote they most
assuredly will have the privilege. Look
through our beautiful village and you will
see as many lovely, high-minded and in
telligent ladies as in any place, and I ven
ture to say that there is not one in ten that
would be willing to leave their own fire
side and mix with the rabble at the ballot
box; and could there be one found to sane
tion the views of Susan B. Anthony, &c,
that one's greatest happiness would be to
be hung on a sour apple tree. I have no
doubt but what I shall be called an old
fogy, and an ante-deluvian. I do some
times look back upon our past history and
contrast it with the present, and who is
not proud that he is a descendant of those
god-like women of the Revolution.

Army Relics.
Dear Journal: Being a stranger to
you and many of your readers, it is no
more than right that I should give you
such a part of my history as pertains to
my army life before trying to write of inci
dents and anecdotes as they may from
time to time come into my mind. My
name, as you see it below, I obtained by
my own acts, and as the fellow said when
he got a ducking by being kicked into the
Rapidan through the vigorous efforts of a
sensible horse (that never drank. any
whisky), "1 did not get it (hie) by my own
efforts, Colonel ( hie ), but by the force ( hie )
of circumstances." - I enlisted in '61 and
received my first discharge in '68; I re-en
listed and served until '65. I have prob
ably had as varied an experience of differ
ent duties in different departments and
arms of the service as falls to the lot of
but few who have, seen so much and yet
so little of campaign life during the rollick
ing reign of traitors. One of the boys in
our regiment was asked if his father was
living. He said no; that he was a fanner,
and was killed by. a horse running away
with the horse-rake and completely tearing
him open. . As quick as thought our regi
mental joker said, "That hoss orter die,
or any other hoss that would go round
raking open old sores" (sowers.) It is
not my intention to rake open old sores ;
but if I tell some truths that lead men to
reflect, perhaps I shall not have written
in vain. Most of my time while in the em
ploy of the government I kept a diary, and
it would be strange if I could always
write to please.- If you should see any
thing hard to believe, remember that it is
easier to believe than to hunt for proof.
Again, my old 'age and infirmities might
be some excuse for set ideas, strong likes
and dislikes, with which they, tell me old
men are liable to be afflicted. Yet, of one
thing rest assured, I would not serve the
purpose of an enemy to my country enough
to build a school-house fire for a copper
head caucus to save the life of any poor
specimen of humanity that disgraced the
negro who made the paper on which was
written his name in the roll of the so-called
Confederacy. Old Vet.
Meteorology
Is a science less understood than any
extant. It is the science which treats of
the atmosphere, and its . operations, or
phenomena, in relation to heat, cold, and
moisture. The wind in our latitude is so
variable and so constantly changing that
we are led to look upon it as being gov
erned by no law whatever. But when we
study into the matter, and become ac
quainted with its science, we find it is
governed by laws as immutableas any
that govern any other operation of nature.
If the earth was one smooth, solid globe
of uniform density, heated alike in all its
parts, or over, all its surface, the wind
would blow constantly in one direction.
which would be from east to west; a strong
current at the equator, decreasing with
the increase of latitude until at the pole;
its motion would cease altogether and an
eternal calm would be its condition. Such
a current. of the air, would be, in appear
ance ouly, not in reality. We ay the sun
rises and sets, but the diurnal journeys of
Old Sol are in appearance only. Astron
omy teaches us that the sun is stationary
while the earth is in motion. So with the
atmosphere, it revolves with much less
velocity than the earth, and consequently
has an apparent motion in the opposite
direction. If the air was in a state of ab
solute . rest the apparent velocity of the
wind at the equator would be mora than
one thousand miles per hour, which would
give it a force suflicicnt to sweep evorthin
before it. Again, supposi'lUtc earth's sur
face, as above described, its diurnal mo
tion to cease, and the heat remain un
equal as it is, the course of the wind
would be from, the poles to the equator,
Let the earth ' revolve upon its axis and
Old Sol pour his scorchiug rays upon the
great circle, but remove all local influen
ces and the wind would deseribe a quad
rant. It would start from either pole di
rectly toward the equator, then curving
gently toward the west until it reachod
the torrid zone, where its course would be
directly westward, The two causes which
combine to produce this motion are the
heat of the sun and the revolution of the
earth. As the air at the equator become
heated bv the vertical rays of the sun, it
becomes rarified and much lighter than
the surrounding air so that it arises form
ing a partial vacuum. The colder air from
toward the poles starts directly toward
this'vacuurn when the motion of the earth
from west to east gives it an apparant
westward direction. Now, what would be
the consequence if any one of these suppo
sitions was a reality ?
Answer: One unmitigated drouth. If
the wind blew alwavs in one direction it
would never rain. We have seen that the
natural direction of the wind is from the
poles towards the equator. Many local
influences exist to disturb it in its course,
chief among whichis the unequal distri
bution of heat. Some kinds of soil radiate
the heat of the sun much more than others,
heating the air and causing it to rise and
consequently the colder air follows tow
ard that locality. Extensive conflagra
tions have been known to produce violent
winds.I have read of a remarkable instance
of this kind that occurred in Massa
chusetts . many years ago. In an open
field a large quantity of brushwood was
lying in rows perfectly dry and combusti
ble. On a calm, clear day it was fired on
all sides at once. As the flames increased
the wind rose to a fearful hurricane. Al
so, at the burning of Moscow in 1812, the
roar of the wind was heard above the
conflagration.' : J. A. Wood.
' Character Expressed.
The traveler surrounded by the ruins
of a once prosperous metropolis, is car-
ried in imagination to the days when those
scattered fragments gave dignity and im
portance to a- busy city. Perhaps the
broken columns and half demolished walls
still mark the outlines of the buildings and
tell of their former beauty and colossal
grandeur. There is a solitude that every
where broods among these ruins. While
governments and their defenses are to
gether overthrown, as civilization moves
on; these solemn monitors oi aeatn seem
to forbid, '.by the solemn awe which they
inspire, that any should disturb their "an
cient solitary reign." ,
The living thus instinctively avoid them,
and these remains of former nations are
ever sacred to posterity. . Their eternal
solitude is a magic wand to kindle the
fancy of the visitor with its potent charm.
As one stands amid' their silent grandeur
gradually these crumbled fragments as
sume their original position before him,
their rude outlines are remoulded, the dust
of ages swept away, and the labor of time
is effaced in a moment. The present with
all its relations is forgotten, and the trav
eler, as a stranger from another world,
finds himself standing amid the glories of
the past. If he tarries until evening,
strange spirits of a former age will flit
about in the changing moonlight shadows,
the streets will again be peopled with
their old-time inhabitants, and the forms
and manners of a generation long since
passed away will arise before him and
that this is so is due to no mere random
dream of fancy, for the character of every
nation is so clearly traced upon its own
works ot art, that people will live as long
as their labor shall endure.
Nation after nation have passed from the
memory of man, but what they have done
still remains with us to tell of their char
acter. . ,' From Cairo to Thebes, a succes
sion of temples, pyramids and tombs, with
their giant sculptures and strange char.
acters tell the story of that wonderful
union of the power, culture, and mystery
of Egyptj
; Here is the archetype of those cherished
images that ever accompany the reading
of that delightful fiction. Yon almost ex
pect some Eastern' prince to step delicate
ly along the marble . corridor before you
and complete the picture. In language
and literature this national individuality
of character is still more clearly marked.
The noblest type of the national character
is its standard literature. ' The soft and
flowing accents of the Italian opera are
ever suggestive of the Jdreamy home, of
music and the arts, nor can we fail to re
mark the propriety of the choice when,
like the Greek to the ancient .world, the
French was made the language of fashion
and elegance and was adopted as the di
plomatic medium of .modern civilization.
This is one element of the great value of
the authors of antiquity. Their literature
is the key that opens the hearts and minds
of those who lived long ago.
History, and tradition will tell us of
their outward mode of lii'e, but neither can
unravel the mystery which we strive to
penetrate, when we wonder whether they
thought and felt as we do. In their stand
ard literature it is all explained. The
master minds have grasped the spirit of
the age and given it immediately in lan
guage, while the unanimous acknowledge
ment of their skill from the hearts of their
people has bequeathed the gift to posterity.
We can thus venture to speak with assur
ance of the character of the dead since we
know it is expressed in their written
words. To live only in the present is a
characteristic of barbarism. Time changes
the popular aspiration with the ever vary
ing character of civilization. A classic
Jove of physical excellence, a submission
to emotion and fancy taught the worship
of imperial Jove, of Mars, of Minerva and
their kindred hosts of personified charac
ters. But every device to perpetuate na
tional vitality has hitherto failed.
The mysteries of Egypt perished with
the land that gave thein birth. Even the
site of the most prosperous of oriental na
tionalities is lost to the world. Let us
glance for a moment at the character of
some of the literary men of the past. Such
men as Milton, Byron, Sheriuen, Coleridge
and others. Milton's life was a greatepic
itself, and Milton alone acted as well as
wrote an epic complete in all its parts;
high, grave, sustained, majestic. His life
was a life of labor and toil, labor and toil
unrewarded save by the secret sunshine of
his own breast filled with the conscientious
ness of his divine approbation. It was a
life of purity.' " It. was a life of a patriot.
faithful among the faithless. Thus faintly
have we pictured the life of John Milton.
Time will not permit us to speak of others
whose character you may well know.
Every man is in some degree the mirror
of his times. A man's time stands over
him as the sun over the earth compelling
an image trem the dew-drop as well as
from the great deep. The difference is
that while the small man is small, the
great man is broad and full -of reflec
tions of his day . But the effect of the time
may be seen in the baby's baubblejand cart
as well as in the style of the painters pen
cil and the poets song.
The converse is equally true. A man's
times are reflective of the man, as well as
a man of the time.. Every man acts on and
is acted on by every other man. The cry
of the child as it falls in yonder gutter, as
really efl'ects the progress of society as
the roar of the Franco-Prussian revolution.
We are now standing on the brink of
another period of revolution.
