THE population of Ohio, in 1870, was 2,6t»5,2(j0 that of Iudiana, by the same census, was 1,6S0,627. We shall use these figures as the staudard of comparison for the elections of 1868 and of the present year. The ratio of persons to a single vote in the former year will be a trifle too large, and in the latter a trifle too small. The«ontrast between the States, however, will be a fair one in all respects.

Tbe vote of Ohio jr President, in 1S6S, was 519,25-1. This amount on a basis of a population of 2,665,260, would give one vote to 5.13 inhabitants. Her vote in October, this year, was 519,646. This, on the same basis of population, will give about the same rates for every voter.

The vote of Indiana for President in 1S68 was 343,532. This amount on the basis of a population of 1,6S0,626, would give a trifle over 4.89 inhabitants toevery voter. Her vote this year in October was 377,700. This amount on the same basis of population will give one voter to every 4.4o persons.

From the figures it will he seen that Ohio's vote is 6S6 more this year than four years ago, and Indiana's vote is 34,168 greater. It is likewise clear that while 4.89 persons represented a vote in this State four years ago, it took 5.13 na•ives of Ohio to be of equal value at that time. This year 4.45 of our people are politically equal to 543 of our neighbors fu Qh\]i.~State Sentinel*

It is now estimated that over thirty thousand horses in this city, Brooklyn and Jersey City, are affected with the horse disease.

Horse Disease, or Catarrh l\ver Epidemic. The alarming news of the epidemic among the horses in the eastern cities, induces me to give my opinion of the malady to the horse owners of the west, through the press. This is no new disease in Europe. It broke out there in 1842 and sporadic cases of it have been met with there occasionally since then Its proper name is epidemic catarrh. It preceded the potato rot in Ireland just five years the cattle plague preceded it two years. And the hog cholera broke out, I think, in 1S35. If attended to in its early stage it is not difficult to cure.- I have successfully treated it when taken in time but as prevention is better and less expensive than cure, I will give my opinion freely. Keep you stables, clean and well ventilated allow no dung to remain longer than you can get it away feed as little corn as possible no musty hay or grain must be fed keep the bowels open by feeding scalded bran or chop feed and use plenty of salt in the feed. Horses should be comfortably blanketed, from the fact that it is iuvarialbly ushered in with a chill. As a disinfectant, keep chloride of lime in each stall, about one fourth of an ounce to each. Allow no active cathartic. Bleeding is directly fatal to a favorable termination of the disease. I see in the Sentinel, of this morning, a remedy given by Dr.C. Elliott, of St.Catheriues. If it prove successful, the disease is not very difficult to cure. I know it would not have reached the cases I have combatted. I do not consider it infectious, but purely epi-

successfully, in which four entirely escaped it. Eight out of ten horses in the Irvington Bus Line took it and got over it only two escaped the disease. Sunday night last I treated Messrs. Mothershead's dray horse and he is now well.

So it will be seen that the disease is not so very fatal in the West. JOHN N. NAVIN, V. S.

Bohemia's Blossoms.

Indiana may experience a duel, if all is not vanity and a debasing delusion. The two, upon whom we rely for this interesting event, are healthy blossoms in Bohemia's realm. We shall insist upon the little transaction. The country demands it. Somebody must be vindicated, aud these two journalists must obey the duty of the hour.

We base our hopes in this matter upon a controversy which was warmed into white heat, between General Reuben Williams, editor of the Warsaw Northern Jndianiari, and Colonel E. Zimmerman, of a hebdomadal, at Valparaiso. These gentlemen have hurled "liar," "scoundrel," "villain," and "puke" at each other, besides making liberal drainings from the swollen vocabulary of abusive epithets, until the putrid waters are exhausted, and life becomes a burden.

Zimmerman, who is also a Colonel, takes the initiative and writes a note. He cannot notice Williams, who used to be a General, in his paper any more, and, after throwing a little mud, Z. mentions that a communication from W. would be attended to with enthusiastic promptitude. To this the formidably titled YV. replies in a spirit we are forced to esteem— he will not fight he is opposed to duelling but if he did favor ilm code, he would fight with a gentleman, who was his peer, and not "a dirty blackguard, a baseingrate, and adefamer of the dead."

The moral standards wave from lofty pinnacles at Warsaw, and, very clearly, we can not rely exclusively bn General Williams for either a hero or a corpse. But Colonel Zimmerman has not simmered down yet, and we have some faith in him in this trying emergency. Colonel, what are you going to do about it ?—Evansvillc Journal.

Political Crimes.

A few days since the leading antiGrant journal of Baleigh, N. C., had its press destroyed by an explosion of powder—a dastardly outrage, undoubtedly prompted by political malice. We have since heard that a Grant paper at Lake Providence, Louisiana—The StraightOutRepublican—has bad its office destroyed in the night. Of course, political malice prompted this act, as in the North Carolina case, though the perpetrators of neither have been detected.

Can not men differ in politics without crime? Must one be tempted to throw stones at a procession because it displays the banner of the party he opposes? If a journal's politics do not suit you, are you moved to suppress its issues by violence? If a candidate's name appears on the ticket of the party adverse to yours, do you readily presume that he is a villain? Ought not good men of all parties to protest against tbe madness of partisanship? New York Tribune.

A WESTERN paper tells the following anecdote of a college student: a member of one of the classes, was distinguished not less for dry wit and sly waggery than for his address in evading the writing of themes, aud iu palming off the brain-coined currency of others as his legitimate "tender." One Monday morning he read a theme of unusual merit but Professor A "smelled a rat," and asH finished and sat down in the pride of conscious innocence, asked, "Is that original, "Yes, sir." "Are you sure of if inquired the Professor, doubtingly. "Why, yes, sir," replied H—, with tho imperturbable gravity and that pasteboard countenance

WYOMING.

Laramie CiJy and Its Society—Female Suffr.ige and Its Workings. Laramie City is one of the most inviting in its appearance, of all the new cities we have seen since leaving Omaha) aud the people are of an excellent class. One feels at home $s soon as he gets here, and no longer feels it so great a wonder that people are "content to live away out here among the 3ocky Mountains." The fact is, since the oncuing of the Pacific Railroad, this aud "the other places along its line, once so far away, are now con paratively near, even to the dweller on tbe Atlantic coast.

There is one thing which, perhaps, explains the admirable condition of society in Laramie City. Women Vote iu Wyoming Territory and hold oftlce. They vote at the same time and place as the men and we are told that there is no commotion or confusion at the polls. On the contrary, the highest respect is shown by the men to the women voters, and we are assured that if any one should offer the slighest disrespect or insult to a woman at the polls, he would be summarily dealt with on the spot. Women act: juror?, and one gentleman who was instrumental in bringing about this state of things gave us an interesting account of the moral influence which women jurors have exerted over those of the sterner sex. It appears that the women, mindful of their high duties and solemn responsibilities, endeavored to prepare themselves for the work of each day by humbly seeking Divine assistance, by prayer—a service which it was understood Was not specially observed by the men. The result was, however, that in a short time all the jurors began the duties of the day by joining in the religious services of the 'morning. Our informant also told us that a Western man never brings forward the argument that the voting by women is going to occasion discord and unhappiness in the family. He would be ashamed to thereby admit that he was unwilling to have his wife hold opinions lest they might differ from his owu and the'Western man never brings forward the argument or statement that it is no place for women at the polls, because of the vileuess of the place, or the persons there assembled, for he would be ashamed to thereby admit that he or the masses of his sex are so low that they are not fit to meet women in public. And so the woman question seems to be nearly settled for the present in Wyoming, or at least in Laramie City. I ought to add that one happy result of the prominent place which has been accorded to woman iu Laramie has betu to entirely rid the place of drinking saloons, women of questionable character, blaeklegs, and the whole race of prominent candidates for the prisons and the halter.

How a Blooming Maiden Astonished Kef "Mamma. There resides in the central portion of the dity an estimable lady, the partner of whose joys and sorrows has long since departed to the other shore, but whose declining years have been solaced by the companionship of a daughter who has just attained the romantic age of sweet sixteen. The mother, warned by the retrospect of a life in which the shadows of ward over the blooming maiden, and resofutely put down her maternal foot in opposition to the visits of any of the wicked male fraternity to her peaceful abode. But Nellie, the budding fair one, had read of love and dreamed of its delights nay, even more, had gazed upon the countenance of a ruddy cheeked youth, whose bright eyes and young moustache bad been photographed upon her heart, and into whose arms she was ready to fall. But the mother was obdurate, aud,what­

else she might consent to, she was firm in her fiat that Nellie should remain in single blessedness, the prop of

her

declining years. One day last week, Nellie, with demure face and innocent expression, asked permission to Visit an elderly lady friend, and, obtaining consent, departed. Days passed, and she returned not still the maternal parent did not fear, for, was not the friend with whom Nellie was staying a confirmed man-hater, into whose dwelling no masculine form would dare intrude? Saturday came, and with it home came Nellie, accompanied by a happy-looking individual of the male persuasion, dressed in his Sunday best. Thinking, perhaps, that a strategic movement would be be3t, she deposited her escort safely in the hall, aud proceeded boldly to the door of her fond parent's room to face the storm. High words were soon heard in that sacred apartment, and—tell it not in Gath—a threat issued forth which breathed in the dire words "slap your face" in its wrathful murmur. Then wide open flew that chamber door, and Nellie, calling in dulcet tones to her protector to come forth, introduced him as "my husband, ma." The tableau was striking. Ma retired to faint. The bride and groom of an hour stood defiantly in an attitude of triumph, whileaPosf" reporter, whose six-by-nine apartment is located in the attic of the house wherein these things

occurred, extended his arms over the top of the staircase, and exclaimed "Bless ve, mv children."

As is the want of all storms, the sky afterwards grew clear. The mother was convined that she could not undo the knot which Judge Louderback had tied, ami before night had darkened up tbe sky the young folks were forgiven, and happiness reigned again. May it attend their footsteps all the way along life's pathway.

"Doing" a Poet.

The Boston Globe thus discants Joaquin Miller, as described by his wife, does not appear that romantic and interesting creature he would seem. In fact, she has stripped the tinsel from him in a most unceremonious manner, and the glitter that has surrounded him has dulled in a remarkable way. To sum up all in few words, he seems to be playing poet, to be anxious to appear a secondhand Byron. He must have his connubial infelicities his wretched misanthropy, his cynicisms and his lame foot, like the glorious model he has set before him for a pattern. Well, and why not? Have not poets and great thinkers, from time immemorial, had trouble in their household? Did not Socrates have his Xantippe? Was Milton happy in his married life? Was not poor Dick Steel unmercifully henpecked? Did not Shelley, Byron, Dickens, Bulwer, and ascore of other brilliant sons of genius, separate from their wives? Why, then, should Miller be an exception to tbe rule?

The Dressing of Ladies.

Blackwood's Magazine recently con tained an article on this subject, in which the writer says of a well-dressed lady:

The boots, the gloves, the sash, the hat, the parasol, the linen above all, subscribe mofe largely still to the tone and type of such a person. It is to them that the experience eye turns curiously, in order to determine the exact degree of her perfection in this branch of merit. No oue who really knows and feels what dress ought to imply will limit observation to a skirt the dissection will be rapid but complete it will extend to every detail—hands, feet, hair aud undergarments will each receive a scrutinizing glance, and opinion will be formed on the assemblage of them all. In Paris, and elsewhere in France, there are crowds of women who come out reproachless from these ruthless examinations, the reason being that they know beforehand that they will be subjected and prepare accordingly. And this is done in numerous cases at a moderate cost, because nearly every French woman originates her own toilette. The best dressed ladies in France efoW up^ "in constant practice of the delicate science of self-adornment." At fourteen years old, says the English magazine, those girls cut out their owu dresses at ten they can trim bonnets and discourse learnedly on the theory exhibited in their mother's practice. They thus acquire a sort of artistic taste, which helps them along the road to knowledge.

Regarded as one of the occupations which ought to fill up a woman's time at home, the preparation of clothes is natural and legitimate. All the world can not be rich enough to pass the time in pleasure or intellectual pastimes. Tbe mass of us spend our lives with less money than we should like to have, and in a consequent constant effort to diminish our pecuniosity by our labor. Men trade and speculate, and do various other things to this end women, who, unless exceptionally, have no direct prtwer of earning cash, can only try to satisfy their longings by indoor work for their own account. Foolish people who think it beneath their grandeur to make their own gowns and bonnets, are very rare in France. There even the richest classes generally consider it to be a duty to help themselves to some degree, and to know at all events how to sew.

JACOB STEIN, an employe of the Vandalia company, made the bold assertion on Friday* night, that a ten-wheeled engine could pull one-third more than an engine with the ordinary number of wheels. William Stevens, another rail road man, who is not at all partial to the new style of engine, contradicted this assertion in such language as would awaken feelings of resentment in any man of spirit. Stein "went for him." Stevens seized a large inkstand, and introducing his fingers into the mouth of it, used it as a kind of boxing-glove, much to the interest of the surgeon who got the job of dressing Stein's head.—St.Louis Globe,

Time's wing, but seem'd in stealing er, To leave her lovlier than before. Aside from her abilities as an actress, she is a woman of more than ordinary business talent, with the energy of a beaver and the determ nation of a wasp, indefatigable and praiseworthy in every respect, and we only wish thsit inducements could be effejred her by our business men and the directors of the Opera House, to stay among us, and give us the benefit of lier talent and experience.—JYctv Y-jrk J£ceniiiy Post.

Recently Miss Keene has been in Europe, and now jetnrnsto give her powerful aid to reassert her claims as one of America's most brilliant pioneers of dramatic art, bringing with her an entertainment now the rage of most fashionable literary circles of England. Lovers of poetry cannot fail to be delighted, and those wishing their poetry flavored with sauce piquant of music are liberally catered for. We congratulate Miss Keene on her enterprise, aud shall be glid to see the elegant entertainment repeated.—New York Evening Express.
