WITH SUPPLEMENT. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 8. Joan Sherman is in Ohio again.

The city of London covers 700 square miles, and bas a population of 4.000,000. Wm. H. Yanueebilt hold 1 4 per cent, bonds to the amount of $5,000,000. Cornell starts out on his campaign with $135,000, which he cot from moity fees. The man who is making the most use of Tilden's bar'l is Hayes. In four years he will get $200,000 oat of it Calico Charley completed his hundredth speech last week. If he can get in 50 more bis ambition will be satisfied. There are in the world 5,000,000 Free Masons with 15,000 lodges. The United States leads, havi og 9.894 lodges. The Japanese islands contain a population of 34,338.414. Yeddo or Tokio has a population of 1036,771, who dwell in 266,961 houses. ' Zach Chandler will make four speeches in Massachusetts. If Ben Batler meets him on the stamp the Michigander will lose a portion of his scalp. Sesatob Voobheks' speeches in Ohio are giving the Republican conspirators in Indiana almost as much trouble as they give the same class in the Buckeye State. Mb. Voobheks must be running for office over in Ohio, judging from the savage attacks of the Cincinnati Commercial. Voorhees continues to "mop tbe floor with them" all uie CZLU1B. "We missed Hayes wood cut from the columns of the News yesterday. It appeared for two or three days, and we hoped that it was to be a permanet ewtot boom that it had coma to stay and be a Joy forever. Excuse our tears; they will flow. Mb. Voorhees' Ohio campaign seema to be affecting tbe Chicago Tribune also. It is the best indication in tbe world that the Senator is making matters "hot" for Radicalism when Republican papers republish all the old Indiana campaign lies about him. Be calm, gentlemen; General Ewing is the candidate in Ohio, not Mr. Voorhees. the Indiana uemocrnuc orators are aoing good work, tor the cause In this State. Governor Heirlricks may find something to bis credit in Oiiio when be comes before another National convention. Cincinnati Enquirer. Yes, and it rather takes the wind from the Radical press sails, a some of them have been charging that Mr. Hendricks wished for the defeat of General Ewing. '.. A solid South means a solid sentiment against carpetbag and bayonet rule; -against wholesale stealing; against fraud and perjury. And a solid North against a solid South, which Republican conspirators are trying to bring about, means the revival of stealing, carpet bag rale, military despotism and the triumph of perjury. Certainly that is "treason." Fob tbe second time in the history of Indianapolis, she has had the honor of entertaining a president. Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial. It is no wonder the Republican press endeavor to forget the disgraceful "entertainment" which President Johnson received in this city at one time. Mobbed and cried aown by Republican yahoos in the good city of Indianapolis, is the record made by Indiana lUd calism during the reception of a president of the United States, to which it was not Invited nor expected. The South Is solid solid as a pressed brick madu so by tbe shedding of blood in behalf of the Democratic party. Cincinnati Commercial. - It is solid against thieves such as overrun UnT1h 11 n.Ji. Kn m n ' .... ' .. - . 1 1 .1 against stabbing Legislatures and overturning constitutions; solid against the men who cobbed the Sauth of about $250,000,000. Tbe Democratic party removed the bayonets and the thieves. The Democratic party gave the South home rule, and last year the solid South raised over 5,000,000 bales of cotton to teep Northern spindles in operation. fEE CAMPAIOH IN OHIO. To say that Ohio politics "ara warm" does not do justice to the subject, nor does hot -answer tbe purpose much better. The heat is fierce, intense and increasing. The partisan farnace is g'.owmg at white heat. The Republican conspirators are " frightened. 'They are reading the handwriting on the wall, and it requires no Daniel to interpret it. ' The lines are drawn. They are as vivid an lightning. The ranks -of the Democratic party are salid. Love of country, love of liberty, devotion to the -constitution, abhorrence of military rule, detestation o overseers at the polls to arrest without warrant . and imprison without -trial, fraud, perjury and ballot-box stuffing, 'the National banks and the money power "these issues are obscuring all others. The people see their danger. They appreciate the crisis. They contemplate the past under the rule of Republican conspirators and re gard the future with apprehension should the party of bayonets of test oaths, of brands multiplied, of villainies which defy exaggeration; of perjuries tbat stand out as hideout blasphemies against all law, human and 4i vine; of robberies, plunderings and -stealings that mount up into millions; of : J - - .1 1 1 . . . i - niungirKi ueuduuueries ami demoralization, .extending from . Washington to the - remotest . outposts . . of civilization again secure control of the Gov ernment, and they are working as becomes food citizens and patr'jts to avert the catastrophe. They hear the Republican conspirators cryiutc war when there is no war, they hear tbe Dtrmocraiio party denounced by men who are in close alliance - with the nfamous gang who lawindled Hayes into office. They hear John Sherman and his gang ot satellites claiming for themselves the glory of the harbinger notes of a revival of business by seeking to appropriate the beneficence of Jehovah as a result of their nefarious asoundrelism. They filled the land with business death. They were the graved igsrvn of fortunes,' industry, hope and labor; and naw, because their policy

did not effectually annihilate the business

life of the country; now, when on tha one hand Heaven " sent harvests, and tha Democratic ; party put a stop to their criminal profligacy, driving some of the thieves, like Belknap, into exile and retiring others to private life and eternal ignominy; now, after their infamous record is read and known of all men, they, come forward with falsehoods that shock Heaven, and, with an impudence as imperturbable as a mountain of. brass, claim to have inaugurated a revival of business and an era of prosperity. The people of Ohio do not believe them. They know that their' professions are as false as a desert mirage They have been deceived, aad thousands have been ruined by the policy they now seek to exalt, because the ruin of all was not accomplished. . Ohio Democrats and Nationals are uniting for the overthrow ot the common enemy. Tbe outlook brightens. The organs of the Republican conspirators deal in cheap bravado. They fly the bloody shirt on every stump. They labor to arouse deep and deadly sectional hostilities. They would haf e a union of lakes and a union of lands, but no-union of hearts nor union of hands. They would build the fires of their accursed Lztss on every elevation and in every valley, from the center to the circumference of the country. They dig up dead issues, and seek? to rehabilitate them as if, instead of peace, war was still raging. They dig up dead soldiers and rattle their bones as slogans to call men who cherish hates to battle. But all of these things are failing them in Ohio. There, as elsewhere, the people want peace, concord, good will, fraternity, honesty, economy, liberty and the right. General Ewing and General Rice grow in patriotic stature as the campaign proceeds. Brave men and great men, they comprehend the wants of the times. They grasp the whole country, North and South. Their policy ' is in harmony with the great interests of Ohio and of the country. Their opponents, Foster and Hickenlooper, are seeking to destroy the fruits of the war. Their policy is to embitter rather than to conciliate. They would have the people to believe that the South is not a part of the Union to enjoy the rights which the constitution guarantees and, as a consequence, they are the enenves and not the friends of Ohio or ef their country. We are glad to believe that they can not succeed, and that, as the day of election draws nigh, the Democratic party and the friends of constitutional Government of all parties are rallying to the 'standard of Ewing and Rice. "SWINGING AROUND THE CIRCLE." Andrew Johnson's "swlngaronnd the elide" took in Indiana with the rest of the world. He called ont big crowds, and at several points a demonstration was attempted. Bat there was little heart in It, and he is said to have remarked, in speaking of his Western tour, tbat he was not favorably impressed with the Hoosier State. Be did. Indeed, have a rough time of it at Indianapolis, where it is probable he expected the .most. One man was killed by the mob that sarronnded him, and for a time tbe chance or his own safe exit was not as flattering as a man in his condition usually requires. The above extract is from an Indiana correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette. The reception of President Johnson is seldom or never referred to by Ridical sheets and when it is referred to they never tell the truth about it. The mob which assailed Mr. Johnson at the time referred to was made up entirely from the Radical party, and not the low'elements of it either. It was composed of the, at that time, chairman of the Republican State Central committee and others who held high place in the party at that time. No wonder, as tbe Gazette correspondent says, tbat the president "was not favorably impressed with the Hoosier State." It is stated that Mr. Hayes was pleased with his recent reception here. We are glad to know it, and although the Democrats have precious little reason to respect him, yet, in consideration of hid position, he received nothing but kind and courteous treatment, and that, too, at the home of one who received by several hundred thousand, more votes than the Igentleman who shares with Mr. Hayes the honors ana emoluments of the highest omces in the gift of the American people. If Mr. Hayes had received the same treatment as was measured out to President Johnson he, like the latter, in the words of the Gazette's correspondent, would not have been "favorably impressed with the Hoosier State." CIVIL. SERVICE REFORM. No comment or elucidation whatever can add anything to the lucidity of the following. Even a blind man must see how beautifully the civil service reform order of the fraudulent president is carried out: Only one of numerous circulars issued by Republican officeholders:!

The New York Tribune seems to be as much excited over "the whaling" which Mr. Voorhees is administering to the Ohio Republicans as the Cincinnati Commercial. Both sheets are taking him to task for a letter which he gave to some one before tha war introducing him to Jeff Davis, in which it was stated that Mr. Davis would find in the gentleman a sympathy of views on public matters. Mr. Voorhees might have tent

the Tribune or Commercial on the same trip with the same letter. It was at this very

time that the Tribune was publicly advising the Government to allow "the wayward sisters to depart in peace," and the Cincinnati Commercial was an outspoken secession sheet, advising that the South be allowed to go out of the Union, and that treaties of various kinds be promptly made with the seceding States. We do not give the exact language, but it is very similar. Tbe Indianapolis Journal also took the same views as the New York Tribune, but hardly as ultra as the Commercial. These are pretty birds to take anybody to task for anything. We do not know whether Mr. Voorhees wrote tbe letter or not. It is of little moment, and was written quite a while before the war, and as like as not is some stuff hatched out by Republican papers. A. colobed man of Toledo, O., is after Calico Charley. He writes a card, in which. he thus refers to him: "I hope that the colored voters will carefully look at their past condition, and cast their ballots for the men who shouldered their muskets, marched to the front and fought for the liberation of 4,000,000 of our race, rather than for the men who stayed at home, speculated in the misfortunes of the country, or sold calico to poor soldiers' widows for 50 cents per yard in order to bny substitutes for weak-kneed Republicans." Score one for the colored man.. His head is level. GENERAL NOTES. Oijyk Loqajt says: "I saw George Eliot walking In the Regent park the other day. How sad and ill she does look, to be sure. I hear her physicians say she must never prodace another novel." Miss Calino goes for the first time to view the sea at Dieppe. At her departure for home her sister recommends her to carry back some sea water in a bottle. She goes down to the shore and fills her vial with water. "Better not fill It up like that, missy," said a sailor, '"bekase, It being low water now, when the tide rises it will burst your bottle." Miss Callno, quite convinced, pours out hall the water and departs. At a recent birthday party at Newport tbe guests were selected with a view to having, as nearly as conld be, the young hostess and her guests of the same age. They were limited to 17, the number of summers Miss Violet had seen. The young lady wore a white silk dress, adorned with apple blossoms, painted on the robe by band. On a table In the refreshment room was a large cake lighted by 17 diminutive candles, one of which was blown out by each guest as he or she entered the room, etc. A discussion in the London newspapers about domestic favorites, brings out many Interesting anecdotes. There is a gander called Jack that runs about Drury Lane like a dog and answers his master's call. He la eclipsed by a cockatoo belonging to a publican in St. Giles. This bird plays on the cymbals in perfect time, and holds a lighted splinter In its talons while a customer la enkindling bis cigar. In the Strand Is a mountebank who has two cats trained to stand on their hind legs and spar like prize fighters. Ex-Governok Thecckiiokton was defending a murderer, the other day, at Gainesville, Texas. He desired to convince the jury that the man whom his client killed, although in bis shirt sleeves and without a pistol pocket in his trousers, might still have been armed. The lawyer had prepared himself to Illustrate his argument. Taking off his coat, and standing before the jurors, he said: "Can you see any sign of arms about me?" They shook their heads. Then he drew a pistol from under each arm, one from each boot leg, and a long knife from the back of his neck. In certain sequestered parts of England an official called the ale taster is still continued as a relic of last century's laws. He tastes all kinds of malt liquor sold in the neighborhood, with a view of ascertaining whether It contains objectionable ingredients. In old times the use of sugar in ale was condemned, and the taster had a primitive way ot discovering its presence. A quantity was spilled on a bench, and he sat upon it, in his leather breeches, until it dried. If, when rising, the breeches stuck to the bench, the presence of sugar was evident. If not, the ale was pore. An adventurer, who professed to represent a New York trust company and to nave millions under his control, purchased with his own notes mining property in Leadvllle exceeding 12,000,000 in value. In his bargains he stipulated that payments should not be made before September. He boueht five mines, some large reduction works, and real estate without end. Before his notes foil due he disappeared. He seemed to be a business man with unlimited means at command, who was bent on securing the most valuable mining properties for speculative purposes. Skveeal San Francisco bartenders have been led into buying almost worthless paintings at S15U apiece In this way: A well-dressed stranger Jounces In the barroom a day or two, and then asks permission to hang a picture In the place lor a raffle. Tne barkeeper thinks o the profit to come from the incidental drink ing and readily consents. The painting is pnt np, the stranger praising it excessively, and placing ZOO tickets on sale at II each. A second well-dressed strangsr soon appears. He sees the picture, and says that,knowlng ltahleh value, he will buy it for $3U0. Can the barkeeper make such a bargain? The barkeeper, intent on clearing SjO, goes to the first stranger, and succeeds In buying tbe daub for f ISO; but tne second stranger never returns to take it for 203 or any other price. . Edwabd Everett Hale says that the Kan sas towns of Lawrence, Topeka, Hampden, Manhattan. Wabaunsee, Ossawatorale, and others, had their origin In companies sent out by the Massachusetts Emigrant Aid company. This organization was part ot the Abolitionist movement against the Kansas slavery men! Its plan, as Mr. Hale describes it, was to Insure safe entry Into the State. It negotiated with railroad companies to secure the lowest rates possible for parties of emigrants. It was prepared to sell tickets through at the rates thus obtained. It named the leader of a party many weeks in advance, and fixed the day when it would leave. Women and children, waose natural protectors had gone on before, could follow them, under the escort of the leader of the party. Arrived at Kansas City, in Missouri, the parties came to a hotel owned by the company, and thence were escorted to their new homes. - The St. Louts Light Guard cavalry Is composed of wealthy young men, whose military outfit la described as lacking "nothing that fancy can suggest or money bny." They made a dazzling spectacle in a tournament at the St. Louis exhibition, on several days or last week, but came to grief in their attempts to pick off the rings with theij swords. Their swords were not long enough, their horses were too obstinate, or the rings were too small. Not a few of them were humiliated by being carried several circuits of the amphitheater by runaway horses In Grant ot the laughing multitude. On the last day of the tournament a company of regular United States cavalry appeared c n the grounds. Some of them bad bones and some had notAll wore uniforms that bad lost tneir freshtie In service. By Invitation they Joined In

the competition, the deficiency in horses being made up by beasts picked np on the ground, and their success was such as to drive all i bsorvers into tbe wildest demonstrations of applause. The heavy-hearted Light Guards looked on and realized that they had not

earned the first principles of cavalry service. Tub leading men, says the Washington Star ' of ail political parties in Missouri have come together heartily in support ot the movement to erect a monument to the memory of General Frank Blair. Nothing but praise Is heard now at the mention of his name, and yet that State denied him the United Btatea senatorship bnt a short time before he died. The fastest long-distance voyage on record was made by the steamer Durbln with tele grams from Znlnland to England. She lea Table By a little before 8 p. m ana averaged 29 miles a day to Maderia, where sLe stopped on April 11 for four and a half hours. She made Plymouth at 6 p. m. on April SO. The entire distance, about 6,000 miles, was ran at an average of is.1 knots. Faster speed has been made across the Atlantic, but this is the best for so long a distance. Hkek is an anecdote, told by Charivari of the late Baron Taylor, the patriarchal philanthropist of Paris, who died on the 6th Inst., In his ninety-first year. One day he was visited by a poetical monomaniac, who inflicted a string of verses upon the patient baron and then begged pecuniary assistance. The baron opened his purse and offered a bank note, which the verse-maker promptly transferred to his pocket, expressing at the same time profuse thanks for the encouragement he had received. "You are mistaken, my friend," replied the baron, "to aid a sick man Is not to encourage bis malady." Lady census-takers will be a novelty of the next census. It is thought they will be peculiarly adapted to some of the requirements of canvassers, but what these requirements are is not stated. If an Inventory of personal ptoperty was desired we can easily understand with what superior intelligence the lady census-, taker would Inquire how many "monle" cloth dresses the female American citizen possesses, and if that lace was real Valenciennes, or tbat crushed grape scarf or Parole belt was the only one In the house. And then there would be no fooling her ai to the ages of the family; for if there Is one thing a woman can do better than another it Is to tell at a glaDce how old people are especially those of her own sex. The number of babies In the family and tbe date of their advent would also be one of the most correct tables In the next census report.' Other advantages, too numerous to mention, make it not only expedient bnt absolutely necessary that lady census-takers should be employed for the canvass. Chari.es Reads: published a savage warning against anybody infringing on his dramatization of "The Asaommoir." The London Era printed a letter which said that anybody had as good a right as he to appropriate Zola's work. Reade responds as follows: "1. An anonymous letter writer, whether he sends It to a gentleman by the post or points it at a gentleman in a journal is a caitiff who hits and hides. This unpunished criminal is the a orst disgrace of literature; his efforts and his conduct are tbe main canse of its low condllon in England. 2. Charles Reade and his peers are tbe glory of letters, and the men who keep the literary character from falling into universal . contempt. 3. When an anonymous letter writer attacks a Charles Reade n his business, it is as i( Newgate were to pass strictures on the chief Justice of the queen's bench. 4. Every word this .anonymous letter writer has written is either a falsehood, an equivocation, or a fallacy. His very signature is a lie. He is not a "French boy," but an English skunk. France would not own him I say that Zola is a legal proprietor of the diama 'JVAssommolr, and what I say is always the exact truth, no matter where I say it. In that character Zola receives money nightly from the French theater, and In that character he receives It from me." PERSONALITIES. Chief Justice Waits is visiting with old friends in Toledo, O.

Charles L. Pullman, a brother of the Pullman Palace Car company's president, has been figuring extensively in St. Louis as a swindler. Using bis brother's name without authority, as an Introduction, he borrowed money right and li lt, forged several letters, formed a pretended mining company, fooled an acquaintance out of a valuable watch, and finally fled. The 10 orphaned children of General Hood are now nnder the care of their grandmother, Mrs. Eleanora Hemen. Their names and ages are as follows: Ethel and Annabel, twins, nine years old; John Bell, seven years; Duncan Hennen, six years; Lilian and Marian, twins, five years; Odlle and Ida, twins, three years; Oswald, 11 months, and Anna Gertrude, two months old. Herbxrt Spencer, the philosopher, is a delicate-looking man, with a fringe of beard around his throat in tbe style of Horace Greeley 's. He Is nearly 60 years old. Like several literary men inoluling John Hardy, author of "Far From tbe Madding Crowd" he received his early edueatlon in the office of a civil 'engineer. He has never made much money, and at times has been pinched by poverty. M. 1B IjEsseps has Just had bis portrait painted by an American artist.

An Instance of heredity in crime is furnished by Ellas Pb 1111 pa, of Freetown, Mass., who recently appeared as a witness in a burglary trial, having turned State's evidence. He is a great-grandson ot Mai bone Brlggs, a notorious criminal, who wa In Stats prison with seven or his sons at one time. Briggs' ancestry la traced back to a noted pirate in the time of Earl Bellamout, and his branch of the family has for over a century furnished noted criminals in every generation. A fresh description of Charles Reade aaya tbat he Is big and manly ' coking, not fat, but large framed and muscular. He Is very fond oj physical exercise, such as rowing:, riding, cricket, swimming, and, notwithstanding hi hair is grizzled, bis stalwart bodyabows no slsr.f o! decay.

He Is a bachelor, bat has a spacious, pleasant house in the suburbs of London. At a large public funeral of a prominent cit izen of Delhi, a week ago last Sunday,, the mourners were dressed In white Instead of the customary black. This was done In approval of the wishes of the deceased,- who, while living, strongly opposed the Inevitable heavy and expensive mourning," and requested them to dress in simple white at his funeral, especially if they believed him to have entered a happier world. Father Krecsch, a priest of Wheeling, W. Va, Is a modest imitator of Archbishop Purcell's financial operations, having been in the habit of taking care of his parishioners' money.

She is now thinking of manufacturing shoes on her own account, and if she can find a suitable one, she may be Induced to accept a male partner, provided he will agree not to make love to her and offer to dissolve the mercantile partnership and go Into a domestic one. Opan'ns of the Haw losane Asylum. At a late meeting of the board of trustees of the Insane Asylum Dr. P. H. Jemison, E. B. Martindale, John C. Shoemaker and William Wesley Woolen were appointed a committee to make arrangements for the opening of the new building, now about completed, for the accommodation of insane females. These gentlemen met yesterday evening, and with John Ffshback, president of tbe Asylum boards, and Dr. J. G.

Carter, Harry Caplto and Jack Worth went-io Dol-r along nicely till yesterday morning about 7 o'clock, when Carter started out into the .- river to lay a trot line. He had gote but a little distance, when be seemed to etc p off a ' rock, threw up his hands and asked for help, as he was drowning. He sank,-, came np once, but no more. His friends came to the city. J. H. Russell & Co., the undertakers, were notified and went to the ford, and with . the assistance of Mr. Amos, tbe diyer, re-' covered the body and brought it to their rooms on Maryland street. Mr. Carter was a man about 30 years of age, unmarried, and has worked for J. H. Capito, furniture dealer on West Washington street, for the past six years. He is a native of Louisville, Ky., where reside his widowed mother and brother. A large number of persons viewed the remains during the evening at the ' undertaker's. . . HEXDBICKs. . "Every Sentence Made a Vote" A, Tiffin, O., special to the Enquirer of yesterday says: "Ex Governor Hendricks spoke to night in tbe Court Hons yard to from 1.200 to 1,500 people. The yard was magnificently illuminated, and bucg with a profusion of flags and banners. His speech was a telling one, and as one of our prominent Democratic officials said, "every sentence made a vote." Even one of our Re- ' publican friends said he twitted too much on facta. The Democratic boom is comingin with flying colors on tbe home-stretch." The New Penitentiary Appointments. Tbe appointments complete are Ell Baker, of Boone county, deputy warden; Major L. A. Burke, of Lafayette, steward; Hugh Sidener, of CrawfordsvUle, clerk; Dr. McNutt, of Clinton county, physician; Dr. ' Mullen, of Laporte, assistant pnysiciao; Rev. Miller, of Jasper county, moral instructor. Ten old guards were removed and new appointments made. .- The prison ia in good order and everything in satisfactory condition. The ex-warden tales his defeat philosophically. He retains ' for tne present ail the books and papers relating to the penitentiary, and states that he will return tbem aa soon aa they are put in shape. He feels confident tbat he will be able to make a clear settlement with the State, and pay over all moneys tbat may be found remaining in his hands. Twelve new convicts were received since the 1st instant. Total number of prisoners, WO. Compromise. '' Detroit Free Press. A citizen driving in on the Holden road the other day met a lad about 12 years old on the highway, some six or seven miles from tbe city. The boy had a shotgun as long as himself, but no game, and the citi-f sen inquired: "Out for a huntr "I was out for a hunt," was tbe reply. i "And you haven't killed anything?" "Well, no." "And you don't expect to?" "Not unless I kin git within striking dis- ' tanoe. You see, two of us came out togetner. After we gat out here 1 wanted to hunt for lions, and tbe other boy wanted to shoot ostriches,' and so we divided up. He ' took the powder and shot and I took the gun. I'm over here looking for turnips, and he's over in that field watching a holier log for bears. It's such hot weather. I guess we won't have much luck, anyhow," The Sentinel Supreme Court Beports. ' Shelby Democrat. Frank Wnght is doing an excellent job of reporting the decisions of the supreme court for the Indianapolis Sentinel. To report an intelligent synopsis of legal opinions so as to give their sailent features is a piece of work which requires a peculiar ability, not found in the average reporter. The legal department of tbe Sentinel is tbe best we have seen in any of the Indianapolis papers. "oil! m yon have a rain your Back. LblnS Hide? If so. vonr Kidneys are diseas ed.
