Mis ClkvxlaXD, who presides at the

A C T. U. prayer-meeting on the day set
i part tor prayer In behalf of the future
lief magistrate, and the lady who should
i ilgn In the White House was referred to
i i her petition, that grace, wisdom and a
worthy example might be hers. She could
. jve had no possible thought of herself in
fiat connection, and yet thero is nothing
More auspicious in connection with the
now administration than what we know
. f the Intelligence and virtue of the Presi-
ent'i family, and especially the good
h nse and taste so far shown by the lady

About 200 workers of the temperance or-
ttnlzalions of the District ol Columbia,
t died In a body Monday to pay their re--tocU

tuelr hopes, and were graciously received.
We have been asked several times why
our city father do not order the C. C .C. &
I. Ry, Co. to put down plunk walk across
their tracks, Instead of those miserable
cinders and ashes that stick to ones feet in
a damp time, to the great annoyance of
pedestrians and the great affliction of
housekeepers. We think if It was a prl
vate Individual Instead of a corporation
the walk would have boon down years ago.
Can any one tell why they should be ex
empted if others are not. W5 commend
this subject to the worthies mentioned.
. President Cleveland Is settling down
to his official duties in a practical business
sort of a way, very gratilying to all the
friends ol Republican simplicity and he
also shows a disposition to' administer the
government in such an honest patriotic
way as to commend him to people of all
parties. Our sincere wish is that he may
fully justify the high hopes he bos already
excited by his inaugural address and hi
subsequent official uctlon. Such a result
would bo a liberal eduction In political
ethics to the Democratic party and would
do much to lift American politics from
the low stnto Into which they have fallen.
A scheme to prevent contracting bad
debts and to facilitate tho collection of
them has been organized in this county
under the naino of "The Business Men'
Protective and Collecting Agency." The
name of those who will not pay their
honest debts are reported to the associa
tion who publish a list of the same. These
lists are placed in the hands of the mem
bers of tbe association, each agreeing to
refuse credit to such person until their in
debtedness Is paid. Statements are mailed
delinquents, reading as follows:
"Your account with is $
Please call and make arrangements for
payment of the some on or belore
und save your credit.
P. 8. Should you move from this vicin
ity without making some settlement with
ii n, the business men of the locality to
which you move will be notified of your
delinquency."
The merchants of the county have generally
become members of the association and a
determined effort will be made to beat the
dead beats. Every business man should
Join tbe association at once.
Tub Ohio State Sanitary Association, of
which Dr. W. J. Scott, of Cleveland, is an
active officer, urges the necessity of organ
izing local health boards In every city,
town and community, who shall inform
themselves of the most approved methods
of contending against contagions and filth
diseases, abating nuisances and inculcat
ing the necessity of pure air, good water
and healthful food. In view of the proba
ble approach of cholera, as a humane and
also a a business precaution, they are
urged to protect themselves. Southern
Europe computes the cost of cholera to
them last year at $100,000,000. Before
the local elections this matter should be
considered and provided for. The wisest
Investment to be made this spring will be
that which looks to the purity and whole
somenesa of every portion of the dwelling
and the premises; the early removal ol all
that would offend the sense ol smell when
the absenae of frost shall unlock its odors,
the plentiful use ol lime and paint and
whitewash, the tree circulation of air and
sunlight, the cleansing by water and
chemicals, by removal, burning, burying,
adding clean, fiesh soil, and assisting
nature In her process of spring renovation.

A Little Adventure.
To those who have passed all their lives
in large towns, and hare seldom had any
further summer trip than to a neighboring
summer resort, it may appear somewhat
wonderful that In many parts of Southern
Africa, more especially the Orange Free
StHte, the rivers, during the dry season,
(viz., the winter months,) are absolutely
dry beds, without one drop of even tho
muddiest water in them. In crossing
these the long string of sixteen oxen, two
abreast, plunge down the steep bank of
the, river, and the heavy wagon slides
down after them, the brake groaning and
shrieking, they plow across the deep sand
of the river bed and toil up the opposite
,bank, a hlgbt of perhaps twenty feet, al
most perpendicular, save in in the spot
they hare chosen which is somewhat worn
down and the angle reduced by previous
teams.
For months this remain) In the same
stato. But wait till the spring rains come.
A single 24 hours rain causes as great a
change as a magician's wand ; aye, and a
greater, for a greater power than man is
able to conceive, has been at work. The
parched and burnt appearance of the land.
scape Is gone ; instead, tho tips ol green
blades of grass are appearing, and the
river is now a deep and rushing stream,
swirling along at a tremendous speed, and
yet so silently, no fierce torrent, but a
mighty, irresistible power, carrying all
before It. After a while It settles down
into a steady, deep-flowing, but still rapid
current.
It Is no longer possible to drive across
it. There are no bridges, but there is a
ferry; not such a ferry as we understand
by the word, but a big, heavy, flat-bottomed
boat, 25 or 30 feet long, more like a ratt
than anything else. The river would
sweep a loose bout down the stream like
a straw and therefore oars are useless, but
the "modus operandi" is as follows:
A stout'post is erected on each side of the
river, and a wire cable stretched from one
to the other. This cable - is threaded
through iron stanchions set up in tbe boat
on the weather side, an ordinary hempen
rojie being' also fastened between the posts
on the bsnks and allowed to hang loose.
The wagon, oxen and passengers are got
on board, and then "All hands to the rope"
is the cry, and away we go to the other
side, the cable preventing the punt from
being affected by the rupidity of the
current. Sometimes it happens that it the
current Is not to strong, a wagon-driver, or
to give him his proper name, a transport
rider will make his oxen swim across, to
save tbe cost of carriage, as they are
so much a head.
I remember a laughable, yet dangerous,
escapade which I had on an occasion such
as I have described. I was traveling with
a transport-rider from narrismith to Beth
lehem in the Orange Free State, and ar
rived at a river one afternoon to find the
punt on the other side. The hauling rope
was hanging loosely about a foot above
the water. The owner of the wagon on
tbe other side bad Just determined to swim
his oxen across and was driving them
down the bank Into the river. The day
was very hot, the sun shining as it can in
those regions.
My companlona aad myself voted for a
bath, and walked a little way up the river
where we found a nice and sheltered Inlet.
Being a good swimmer I declared my
intention ol going down the current, and
by catching the rope at the ferry to pull
myself on shore. Despite my companions'
warnings away I went The motion was
glorious. The bank appeared to fly put
me, and I prepared myself to catch at the
rope. Ala I at the very moment when I
leaped tip at the rope, some motion ol the
boat at the shore caused it to swing far
out of my reach, and away I went down
the stream among the herd of oxen which
were swimming across.
I made desperate attempt to get hold
of any of them and at last succeeded in
catching one by the tall Just as he. was
getting oat of the current The unex
pected advent ol such extra weight awung
him clear round Into the current again
and be headed up stream, struggling
furiously but all to no purpose, for as
I was hanging on like grim Death
behind, unable to assist the poor animal
in any way, I stood a good chance of be.
coming, if not a siren, something equiva
lent, at least, to him. But luckily deliv
e ranee wu at hand. Two of our Kafir
boys quickly fastened together several
long strip of oz-blde, commonly called
relm sod used for tying up the cattle, and
threw the slip-knot to me. I then let go
of the struggling animal and was drawn
aafely to shore whither the poor brute soon
followed, though in a sadly exhausted
condition.
This little adventure furnished u with
material for laughter for a long time
afterwards, and even now as I write I can
bear tbe Kafir boy about a be threw mo
the reim, "Pass op, baa I" (Look out, sir!)
