to give the soldiers in -the field the '
right to vote when they were offering
their lives that the nation might live;
that the Democratic party opposed
every measure adopted by Congress to
restore peace, harmony, and security,
and, in the platform of 1868 declared
"that we regard the reconstruction .
acts (so called) of Congress, as such,
as usurpations, revolutionary and .

party, so notorious for its disloyalty '

About 3 o'clock yesterday morning
a fire broke out in the square opposite
the old Court House, and consumed
two groceries, two drug stores and
one milinery store. " The contents
were mostly saved. They sent over
here for an engine. The No. 4's nobly
responded, and saved a great deal of
property for our neighboring town.

Failure or tne Week. .
M'Donald & Co., of Wooster, Ohio,
manufacturers of agricultural imple
ments, have mnde an assignment.
Their liabilities are ' stated to be
$500,000. Their failure throws 200
men out of employment.
The Ames Plow Company, of Bos
ton and Worcester, is temporarily
embarrassed. Its liabilities are $218,
247 and its assets $552,891. Its cred
itors think a reasonable extension
would enable the company to pay in
full and go on.
The Tawas Mill Company, of East
Tawas, Mich., have made an assign
ment. Their liabilities are $195,000
and their assets $280,000. Wikes
Brothers, foundrymen and machinists,
at East Saginaw, have also assigned,
with liabilities of $60,000 and assets
estimated at $115,000. -
The failure of Robert Tilton, wool
en manufacturer and proprietor of the
Spring Mills at Cavendish, Vermont,
is occasioning no little excitement in
the wool trade at Boston. His in
debtedness in that city is quite large,
. the result mainly of purchases of
wool in that market.- His liabilities
are about $140,000.
Napoleon Dread or Satire.
His Government was a despotism
not tempered by epigram, and it was
controlled by a despot who, though
not devoid of a sense of humor, had
all a Corcican's mortal dread of ridi
cule. No man in France was less
French than Napoleon, either in lioe
. age or in character. , His moral posi
tion in Paris was not unlike that
which . Othello might have held in
Venice if -Othello had been base
enough to betray and expel the Sen
ate which he had sworn to serve. We
can imagine how the shy, poor Moor
would have writhed under the pas
quinades of the graceful, dissolute
Venetian wits whom he despised. So
Napoleon, who never ceased to have
much in him of the semi-barbarian
chief (and always looked like ope
when he was dressed in imperial
robes), shrunk with morbid apprehen
sion from the tongUA of Madame De
Stael, and wrote autograph notes to
Fouche calling his attention to the
placards and verses of the street cor
ners. There ia something more than
ludicrous in the spectacle of this rude
soMier, with a million armed men un
der his command, and half Europe at
his feet, sitting down in rage and af
fright to order Fouche to send a little
woman over the frontiers lest she
should say something about him for
the drawing rooms of Paris to laugh
at.
Instead of caricature, therefore, we
have only allegorical "glory" in the
fugitive pictures of his reign, none of
which is worthy of remembrance.
English Gilray, on the other side of
the Channel, made most ample
amends. Modern charicature has not
often equaled some of the best of Gil
ray's upon Napoleon.--James Par
ton, in Harper's Magazine for Novem

Tea Cares, Ae.
It is said that a tea made of chest
nut leaves, drank in the place of wa
ter, will cure the most obstinate cases
of dropsy in a few days. A tea made
of ripe or dried whortleberries, and
drank in the place of water, is a sure
cure for scrofulous difficulty, howev
er bad. A tea made of peach leaves
is a sure cure for kidney difficulty. A
plaster made of slacked lime and fresh
tar is a sure cuie for cancer, which,
with all its roots, will come out. A
tea made of willow leaves is a sure
oure for fever and ague.
October 27th.
An Incident. ; :
What do I recollect about the early
publication of the Palladium? Why,
I recolleot very distinctly of seeing
the first Palladium struck off. It was
in a brick house on the west side of
Front, between Main and Walnut
streets, and the same house afterward,
owned by and in which Oliver Bright
well lived and died. There were a
great many persons present on that
important . occasion, of whom I now
only recollect T. J. Larsh, D. P. Hol-
loway, and Uncle Daniel Reid. After
fifteen or twenty papers were struck
off, Win.- S. Reid was selected to de
liver them to subscribers about town.
I recollect low self-important he
looked as he started out with a bun
dle of , papers under his arm, and a
troop of boys after him, I among the
number. That was a big day for
Richmond; Whigs and Democrats
vieing with each ether to give the pa
per a good start.
It was the practice in thoe davs.
when mail facilities were not so good
a3 at present, tor publishers to send
packages of tlieir papers to certain
points in the neighborhood, each
week, by boys on horseback. One of
these points waB Lareh's Mill, then
about five or six miles below town, on
VV bite water, just below the mouth ot
Lick Creek. . I thought it would be a
great thing if I could get the job of
carrying the papers to that point, and
so applied for it. John Finley had
something to do with the paner at that
time, and it was to him I made my ap
plication. Alter some misgivings on
his part as to whether I could find
the way, he concluded I might try one
trip, and I mounted an " old : horse,
bareback, and, with a bundle ot pa
pers, started south. 1 don't know
how-it. was, but somehow or other I
never got to Larsh's Mill with them
papers., I recollect that when I got
as far as Shady Henderson's Mill on
the way, (now H or ney's place,) I con
cluded 1 would never get back home
if I went, any further, so I turned
back, and that was my first and last
trip as mail carrier. Typo.
Backward Looking-.
My earliest recollections of the
Palladium, are associated with the
Presidential campaign of 1852, when
I vainly attempted to obtain from the
large print title of the paper, the
proper letters to spell the name of the
hero of Chippeway and Chapultcpec.
On the 1st of May-. 1S62, I entered
the office for the purpose of learning
the trade. I have never completed
that apprenticeship. . i ..:
The office was then situated on
Main street near Front, with a busi
ness and press room on the first floor,
and the composing department on the
second floor. The forms were lowered
through a hatchway, covered by a
treacherous trap-door. Of the em
ployes at work that year, Michael
Griffin, of the Free Press office, is the
only resident of this city, still a mem
ber of the craft.
Geo. W. Ross had just returned
from the Donelson campaign, having
been musteied out with the other
musicians, and was on the eve of re
enlisting as a soldier in the rank.
Where be your gibes now ? your
songs? your flashes of merriment ?
There was the venerable S. S. Bell,
"of Ohio'1 poet and printer, a man
who had seen better days; with a pa
triotic soul and a future behind him.
There, too, was Redfield, with big
mustache and straDge odor in his
pipe, spending the summer West as
an itemizer. Later, came lame Jerry,
since gone to his rest.
To that old office place, came
Bickle, Kibbey, Bennett, and Hard
ing when raising regiments for the
war. The late General Meredith met
many of his friends there after the
battle of Antitam.
In December, 1863, the office was
fitted up with a new supply of type,
and cn the notably cold first of Jan
uary, 1864,; I carried a New Years'
address, in spite of the snow storm of
the night before. Mrs. Jordan, I be
lieve, was the author of that effusion.
In June, 1864, the establishment
was removed to the Warner Building,
where it remained some five years.
The Palladicm published ray "first
appearance in print. It was upon
the occasion of the death of President
Lincoln.' ' ' s.
As I have said, I never finished
that apprenticeship, but perhaps it is
ust as well. J. C. M.
;f f ,A Farewell.
In summer we like to ramble in
the woods, when everything is
green, it mates one leel mne and
merrv. The birds are merrily
warbling in the branches overhead,
in chorn with ihe drowsy hum of
bees, and the murmur of the little
pearly brook, which, from a spring
way np in the hillside, comes me
andering its way along, tliro' the
meadow over there, on through the
woods past scraggy roots, and banks
overhanging knotty and tangled un
dergrowth, where tiny fishes sport
in security from net and line, and
on over rocks and pebbles, laugh
ing and singing as merrily as its
fellow choiristers overhead. In fact
they seem to be competing for
the championship of that particular
spot, so spiritedly do they go about
it. But, for our part, we hope
neither will win, for the fear that
the defeated one would grow sol
emn and silent under it, and then
we should miss the pleasure of its
music on our rambles.
But in the autumn you are mel
lowed into graver channels of
thought, very much as when you
look upon a venerable and well
preserved old gentleman, who has
battled with the elements of life till
his head is silvered with gray, and
his form begins to droop with the
burden. You admire and enjoy,
but somehow the feeling comes
you will never see him much more.
Those frosted locks are growing
thinner, and, like the leaves, will
soon return to the earth- And
it ia with feelings akin to these that
we write our farewell to ths Palla
dium, and as we Iny down oar - pen
we find a tear trickling down the
ink-stained holder, and mingling
with the rust and corrode time has
formed about its metal point. That
in seven short days it will be res:
nrrected, is true, but it will come
forth a new body, with new associ
ations, and in all respects unlike our
old friend and associate. IIequiescat

Being called upon tq contribute
to the last issue of the PxixADitrsr,
seems much like an invitation to
offer tribute to a departed friend.
Indeed, a friend in. this, case will
have been forever gone; a friend in
a broader sense; a friend to troth,
justice and right In looking back
over its career I do. not think there
will le any just cause for ignoring
the xao&to it has for years had at its
Lead: "Let all the ends thou aimest
at be thy country's, thy God's and
truth's" those words have not been
as sounding brass or tinkling cym
bals. - " '
Tbe Palladium host had a ranch
longer career than the feebler scrib
bier of this contribution, ami con
sequently his first acquaintance with
it, as a regular visitor into his pa
rents house, dates back to a period
too infantile to- be- reealled. How- :
ever, I know that it was the first
newspaper I ever read, and prob
ably the- firetjpaper of any kind;
and I a?3 know that 3Ir. D&via was
the fix&t real, lave editor I ever saw
or had tbe hardihood to- speak to.
As I grtTF and, became able to de
vour the column of Ue-Palladium
news, fiction, poetry, advertise
ments, editor's- dans, and all I be
gun to LkJ1 it creator ia a sort of
reverence-. Reading the life of
Franklin,, the- printer boy, imbued
ane with ss. burning; ambition 16 be
Iiold the interior of a printing; office.
Uly first visit wss indellibly im
pressed. The editor was at hi desk,
sirguing not about the grandeur
of our gerernnienr not over; the
ubsorbing aaI enchanting financial
question not abont the destiny of
nations, car the fate of Napoleon
Init with a country subscriber about ,
a. bushel of potatoes. The face of
the editor greeted me kindly, fiiitl
dispelled the impression that edi
tors were severe and unapproacha- 1
We as a Hindoo GoL I remember
the Palladium as a friend to- a
youthful writer; as the .first tub
Jisher of his; effusions; aad' -iniay
heart (and in my BCTajvboek, too,)
are its kind, encouraging, and I
must say undeserving, notices of
his juvenile pieces- , A single word
liaa groat weight. It has been an
ciently said that the sacrifices of a
thousand horses pat in the scales
-will not weign down one true word;
and I think it can be Etodernly as
serted that the diffusion of truth
through the press has more power
than the building of costly tem-t
pies, thereby exacting-great sacri
fice from the laboring masses.
We are- unconscious el nr influ
ence for good or bad. We d not
inow tbe flight ef a word we utter,
jr a deed we ek, We can not f ell
how we graft and produce better
fruit among men. Words, and
deeds, and good works are ire mor
tal; and tbe editor of the PaUadjnsa
anay pass- away, the name raay 'die,
hut there lives, so long as men live,
snd childrei are boii nder the
Taw of LtretiLtary descent of qual
Dties, tbe good words that his old
press has stamped sad sent, for lb
"hroub tbe country. There may
vet stand ia the Senate halls of our
nation, or eit ia her highest chair, m
man who can Iwk back und feel
how great an influence tho limvlie
ity, the trntufulacssy tho bo ; as,
und the patriotism of his dty
paper, the Palla-diKs, lata bed is
the moulding of his character.
When Greeley, as a boy, lay cn
the rough hearthstone, in his im
poverished home, with a pine torch
for a light, reading the only news
paper he conkt borrow ia the conn
try, I think the editor of that peper
was influencing
a enreat career.
Did he know, acakl his struggles,
tliat he "was contributing to the
character of one of America's great
est men? His work, tliough paiaful
to mm, will never die. ?
These are the consoling words I
would feebly endeavor to offer to
one who, on closing his journalistic
career, !ook3 only cn its material
part, its financial features, and feels
that from all his Jong years of toil,
struggles, poverty and discourage
ments, no fruit has bloomed. It
has bloomed, and ripened, and will
continue to. "A man mav build a
mansion; he may be able and wil
ling to spend uncounted sums :in
rearing up its walls of iparble,ind
in storing it with every element of
beauty within; and yet, dying, have
done very little; while over the way
was a man who never built a house,
except the airy house of character.
He left little save influence; bat
that influence day by day exerted,
fell into sensitive souls, and shaped
this disposition,' moulded that one,'
directed the course of life in an
other one, and revealed the truth
to still another one." .
Let ns give the dear old Palla
dium one simple epitaph:
"Blessed arc the dead; they rest from care
and Rorrow; and their work goes on and
follows them."

forces in North Carolina. He was a
perfect athlete, a s lend id hojrsemsn,
an. accurate shei, aad as Aasing and '

and sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary. Before his term expired
he organized an escape which proved
partially sacecssful. We say partially
successful because ne aad nis asso-.
ciates made good their escape, but
they were all subsequently captured,
one of them being killed, and the ma
jor himself severely wounded. He
served out the rest of his term,
and when released west to Rosifa,
where he opened a whisky-den. It
was probably hero that he arranged,
with others, the jumping of the Poca
hontas uiiae. ; The "jumpers" kept
possesion until Friday, the 22kl insL,
when all the miners in the neighbor
hood resolved on clearing the mine of j
31- . tt .!?
its irauauieni possessors, now mis
was done the dispatches tell. The
major was caught on his wi y to Rosita.
On being halted he returned to run,
but fell dead in his tracks, pierced by
some twenty-nve balls. uranani s
partner, a man named Boyd, was ar
rested shortly afterward, and is likely
hune before this. The rest of the
"jumpers" hare been arrested, but as
to wnat opposition win oe maae oi
them we have as yet no means of
knowing.

" .Shaking, a carpet is a feature of
house cleaning which thoroughly
enlists the attention of the man of
the house. It is done after dinner.
The reason the woman selects .this
time is because he ' is dressed, and
. has to go back to business again
without a chance to change his
clothes. He cirries the carpet out
doors. , It is not rolled up ; it is in
a wad shape, and he gathers it np
, in his arms and starts for the door,
with one end of the carpet drag
ging between his feet. He scorns
to stop and roll it up. He has got
his arms full. It presses into his
bosom and leaves rifts of sand and
grit on his shirt front; it bulges
into his face hot and dusty and
fills his mouth, and nose, and eyes;
then the long end gets under one
foot as he is going down the back
stoop, and ihe other foot mounts up
the breadth, and he stumbles but
catches himself, and prevents fall
ing to the ground on his face by
deliberately yet blindly juuipiDg oif
the stoop. Ho finally gets the car
pet on the line. It is very warm.
There is a bieeze from the west.
He steps on the west side of the
carpet and hits it a lick with a stick.
Instantly the wind turns sharp
around to the east side and he hits
it another lick The wind ; veers
around to tbe we&t sitaultaneouHly,
and he is plunged into a sneezing
fit which seriously threatens to dis
locate his neck. AThen ho pauses
and looks around , uneasily. ' He
sees that a earpet bias the same ef
fect on the wind as a sieve full of
coal ashes, and he doesn't under
stand it. . He gets a clothe pole
and stands around it at the north
end, and hits the carpet a terrible
rap. The wind promptly sails
around to the southward and catch
es him full in the lace with a pint
of dust before tbe poie has fairly
left the carpet. He doesn t stop to
reason jaow. . lie would be a jack
ass if he did. He grasps the pole
with all h:s might and madly smash
es it against the carpet, and dances
around the line, and coughs, and
sneezes, and swears. After that it
is pttlleT down, ami the hired girl,
with the strength of An ox, takes
hold of an end with' him, and they
proceed to shake it. His hands aro
in blisters across the palms, and his
ngers, aching with the grasp on
the pole, ean eeeni- to find no hold
on the woof and warp. At every
other shake they gKde off, starting
the nails and cansmg I us arms to
tingle clear to the elbows. And
every time he picks up that carpet
he doen it with renewed energy and
a weaker backbone. The most we
can hope for a man in this position
is that lid is not a deacon of
church, and a hired girl a member
of it ;
A Paris correspondent of The
London Daily Telegraph writes to
that jnornalr "iL Edouard La
. boulaye, president of the Franco-
American TJnics, requests the press
to notify that he will reeeive sub
scriptions for a statue in bronze re
pousse, about sixty-five feet high,
which shall represent "Liberty en-
lierhteninfr the World." This
statue is to be placed upon an
island ia the harbor of New York,
designing itself upon space, framed
, on the horizon by the creat Amen
" can cities of New Tork, Jersey, and
Brooklyn. On the Ihreshhold of
this vast continent, full of new life,
where come all the ships of the
nniverse, it will arise from the bo
som of tne waves. At mgiit, a
luminous aureole, emanating from
its brow, will spread far over the
- iram-ense ocean There- a great
deal more of this sort It is very
seriously believed by French peo
pie that they made the United
States.,' that or American broth
ers accept this as an eternal truth,
and are as grateful now as ever.
The affair of the 6tahie at New York
i3 somehow mixed up with the Ex
hibition at Philadelphia I don't
comprehend in what way, but that
problem will t'oubtless unfold it
self." '
A wealthy tradesman, M. Thomas
He via t, died a few months ago at the
Tillage ef Croabe-Fur-Mariae. In his
will he made a wimber f singular be
quests, among which was the follow-
ing, which wa carried out at the an
nual fete of the villa?: He ordered
. that a&x)M the anoscweals should
be instituted a race with pigs, the an
imals to be ridden either by men or
boys. The' sum of 2,000 francs was
set apart as the prize to the lucky
rider of the winding pig-. The priae
was not to be handed over, however,
. except on the coaditiou that Ihe win
ner wore deep mourning for the de
ceased during two years after the
competition. The municipality ac
cepted the eccentric bequest, and the
first race was held agreeably to the
terms of the will.
God's idea of building i a first to
build manhood from the heart out
ward, and then out of this as a
means cf conserving it, to build
the family, and tho church, and
society, and the nation. Tbe ideal
father and mother must make the
ideal lome, where love, and intelli
gence, and piety surround and
bless childhood. The true princi
pies, and characters, and lives from
the bet a-ftd from society must
come together to make np the
chnreli, and all these together flow
out into that large realm of all
industries, and arts, and learning,
and religion, and all that makes up
the larger world of society.
On and after November 1st a gen
eral advance in passenger rates goes

Ohio was called upon to stand in
the forefront of the battle for hon
est money, sound principles and
free schools, and, after a fierce
struggle, the people did their duty,
meriting the applause of the whole
country. In a large degree the con
test was like that of 1863, when the
issue was treason or loyalty, and as
in that year citizens proved equal
to the emergency, so now, in 1875,
when National honor was involved,
the freemen of Oliio were not found
wanting. The advocates of infla
tion made Appeals to tbe-. lowest
prejudices and the basest . motives, r
but tne people couia not oe raaucea
to follow the lead of dishonored
demagogues i3to the road that leads
to reputation, National , disgrace
and financial and commercial dis
, aster. .- . ' - ;. , :
The victory can justly be claim
ed by ihe Republican party because
it adopted a platform worthy the
support of honest men, and fought
the battle upon distinctive ; princi
plea; but we are not rainhklfnl of
the fact that this victory of honesty
over dishonesty of sound princi
ples over pure demagoguery is
due largely to the votes of men who
have not been identified strictly
with the Republican organization.
Thousands of Liberal and Indepen
dent voters and of Democrats cast
their votes with us and are fairly
entitled to a share of the glory
which belongs to the victory that
has been gained. ; The aim of the
Republican leaders should now be
to deserve the continued, co-opera-
tion of this large and -influential
class of honest and thinking men.
Many Republicans, in various parts
of the State, went after- the strange
gods, but their places at the polls
were filled by men. who broke loose
froai party a&taehnxenfs and over f
eanie strong prejudices, m oraer
that tbeir proud State should not !
give forth an uncertain? sound in;
these days of false doctrines, 6tart j
ling hereies.and idiotic cr damning
financial theories. Cincinnati Ga-
