Tlie Ohie contest lias had its ani
mation in tlie prohibition Issue rather
than in any political question. Tlie
tempcrance question lias net been an
Issue between tlie Republican anil Dem
ocratic parties, tlie Republicans fearing
te father the prohibition amendment,
and tlie Democrats treating It tenderly.
The contest lias been a very remarka remarka
ble ene in the oxcltement which has at
tended it, through the ferver with which
the temperance advocates hnve labored
for their cause and the zeal with which
the liquor Interest has cembatted them.
It is Bald that a greater commotion lias
been caused iu tlie state than it 1ms ever
known. Whatever the result may be
the energy with which the temperance
people liave fought for their doctrlne
will be certain te have n geed effect.
There should be temperance in all
things, even temperance itselr. There is
no ene mere Intemperate than the tern tern
perance ndvocate; but it Is undoubtedly
n. substantial platform from which he
sneaks. That the most serious evils te
the community Hew from the excessive
use of stimulants is undeniable ; that
people would be better without them is
net te be gainsaid ; but hew far may the
state go te keep the feel from felly V Ne
farther than te protect the community ;
the Individual must be lefc te take care
et himself.
It is apparent that the strength of the
temperance advocates is growing. The
rumpus they have raised In Ohie is sig
nificant enough of this. They are going
te be heard and heeded. Tltere is plenty
of room te listen te them ami te make
concession with profit te their views views
The laws regulating the liquor trallic are
net what they should be. There are tee
many Irresponsible people in the busi.
ness. A high llcense law would limit
their number nud increase their respen
sibility ; and this at least should be
conceded te the growing temperance
sentiment.

Evidently there nre big thlugs (lowing up
there. When we bought Alaska, we did

liave get nothing else but the blgges
rivers in the world we get our money's
worth. Fresh water is valuabie for fish.

A Foolish Intention.
A fntvef the class of people who are
never happy unless they are changing
something have sought te persuade the
Episcopal convention te drop the name
of the "Protestant Episcopal church"
and toassume the title of "The Church"
or " the Catholic church." Nothing
could possibly be mere silly, and of
course the convention se declared. The
discontented people thought that their
church was net n Protestant church
and was as much entitled te the
name of Catholic as was the church
that Henry the Eighth had a row with.
They would be content, however, te
assume the title of tie church and te
drop tlie word " Catholic " in view of its
preemption by the mother church.
Episcopal" they de net like because
thre is no significance in the word.
Tneir criticism would be sound if it was
a nuestlen of numvine a name te a
church for the first time, but as the
Episcopal church has been se known
since its birth, the word has ebtaintd
all the significance which any proper
name can have. It designates the
thing which is te be described. The
name has been pre-empted by this par
ticular church, and no ether church
can take It from them. The Methodist
church styles itself the Methodist Epis
copal, but no ene would knew it by the
latter part of its title. The Episcopal
church has nourished underits name and
given it a pleasant sound te its people.
It would certainly be the extremity of
felly te change it new, because of any
thing unsatisfactory iu its mess grown
original meaning.

At the Vienna electrical exhibition
tlicre is shown a little Instrument called
the glossegraph, which bid fair te be a
very important addition te the iuvetitieus
of the oentury. Uy its magic iutluouce
human speech is automatically reproduced
as seen as it is uttered, the different
sounds being committed te paper by
means of an electre magnetic registering
apparatus. Should this invention come
up te its author's expectations it will be
possible te write four or five times faster
by means of the glossegraph than is at
tainable by th readiest penman. Tbe
difficulty in decipherlug the characters and
the cost of the apparatus will be the chief
obstacles te the general introduction of
the invention. Though it Is scarcely
prebable that it will ever ceme into gen
eral use, the glossegraph can nnver fail te
be Interesting from a scientific standpoint,
as illustrating the wonderful adaptability
of the electrical current te the uses of
mankind.

The reported election of Ileadly by
llve te eight thousand majority, seems
te show that the temperance question did
net violently affect tlie party vote, and
that the issue was fought out en the
amendment question. In the nb3ence
of full returns, however, it is impossible
te get the full lessen of the election.
The vete was a very full one and the
one thing assured Is that the voting
which the Democrats liave gained makes
the state reliably Democratic in the future.

Despite the very porceptioio chill in the

the Sehuet.en park, Philadelphia, yester
day, te de honor te the doling ceremonies
of the bi centennial of 133.
Among the well known pcople in the
crowd were Controller S. Davis Page,

Amencan bi centennial society, and L. A.
Woltensborg, of Germantown, a dosccn desccn

place.
The hpeceh making began at half past 3,
the orators being stationed en a platform
surrounding a monument erected by the
mauagers of the Canstatter VelkB Fest
two or three years age. The first speaker
was llerr II. A. Hittermann, and his ad
dress was in German. He told of the
services performed by Germau-Amerieaus
in the past 200 years, nnd pointed with
pride te the fact that of all the foreign
elements that had geno te make up tlm
American republic the Germans were the
most steady, tlie mostentorprisiug and the
most progressive. They had become
Americans en the very day of their land
iug and had sworn te cling te their adopted
country for life.
W. t". Hetisel said he appeared as a
conscript, having been caught by the
committce as he was about te loave the
park. He was willing, however, te speak
for Lancaster, whero his home was, and te
congiatulate the Philadelphia Germans ou
their colebration. He had heard much of
the Pilgrims that landed en Plymouth

It is usually supposed that men of great
intellectual powera have large and massive
heads ; but the theory, which Dr. Gilbert
phvsician te Queen Elizabeth was the
tlrst te suggest, is net berne out by fauts.
An examination of busts, pictures, medal
lions, iutaglies, etc , of the world's fam
ous celebrities, almost tends the ether
way. In the earlier paintings, it is true,
men are distinguished by their large
heads, but this is attributable te the
painters, who arce with the genera!
opinion and wished te llatter their sitters
A receding forehcad is mostly condemned.
Nevertheless, this feature is found in
Alexander the Great, and te a lesser degrce
in Julius C'u'sai. The head of Frederick
the Great, as will ba scen from one
of the portraits of Carlyle's work, receded
dreadfully. Other great men have had
positively small heads. Lord Byren's was a
"remarkably small," as were thorn of Lord
Bacen and Cosme di Medici. Men of gen
ius of ancient times have only what may
be called an ordinary or every day fere
head, aud Herodotus, Alcibiade?, Plate,
Aristetle and Epicutus, ameug many
ethers, are mentioned as iustauc;s.
Seme are even lowbrewed, as Burten,
the author cf " The Anatomy of Mel.in.
chely;" feir Themas Browne, and
Albert Durcr. The average forchead of
tlie Greek sculptures in the frieze from the
Parthenen is, we are told, " lower, if any
thing, than what is seen in modern fore
heads." The gods tho'nsclves are repre
sentctl with "ordinary, H uet low, brews."
Thus it appears that the popular notion
en the matter is erroneous, and that there
may be great men without big heads iu

Thtee experts have been trying te ox ex
plain the Pittsburg holler oxpleslon, each
with n different theory. One of them
thinks that the boiler was weak in parts
and gave way nt ordinary pros
sure , but this does net agree with
the kuewn foreo of the explosion,
which scorns te hIiew that the boiler
was very strong. Anether theory is that
the plates above the water line had been
pighly heated and that water thrown upon
thorn was Hashed into steam. Th third
theory is that the suddeu removal of pres
sure (from mi unknown cause) Hashed the
highly heated water into steam. This
removal of pressure, by the way, might be
caused by the notion of the safety valve,
thus making the latter ene soitice of
danger along with Its protection. As the
only men who might be able te threw
light upon the Pittsburg oxpleslon were
killed, the experts can each continue te
upheld his own theory with little danger
that It will be overthrown by positive
ovideuce.

There was a geed deal of interest shown
last night and te-day in this city, regard
ing the result et the election in Ohie. Net
a (cr ardeut pirtisans remained up a
greater part of the night in Mie hepes of
hearing news from the. West, and specula

"Say, is it se that the Democrats have
been wiped out in Ohie"'' are a few of
the oxpresslve interrogatories that pushed
their way through the thick and damp fog
which onveloped the city, as if the weather
was in syrapithy with the goner.il doubt
fulness. Sturdy farmers aud anxious
citizens hurried te the bulletin
beards at the different printing efll ies
as seen es there was sufficient light te dis
tinguish them, and turned away with dis
appomtment hanging all ever their visage,
when nothing could be read but the rem
nants of :. b.i3eball bulletin. At the
l.NTi.t.uer.v eh effice thore was a pretty
steady visitation of hepjful Dotuecrats te
kuew if there was " anything from Onte
yet," and when the Philadelphia news
papers arrived mero than ene journal
became clammy as it was exposed te the
foggy m usture, while its roader cenued
the election dispatches and wondered, as
ene honest old fanner emphatically and
impatiently remarked, " why the all tired

" Shall I go or net '.'"
A tall, lank young tnau, somewhat
shabbily dressed and apparently out et
finances made this remark yosterday after
noon as he steed looking at the bulletin
beard m front of the recruiting effice en
Third street. A Patriot retiertcr stepped
as he heard the remark, iu erder te bee
what action the young man would take.
He seemed crestfallen sort of melan
chely.
" I'd ltke te go out among the Indians,
but I'm afraid Yet thore's thirteen dol
lars per month iu it, nothing really te de
and ." He interrupted his own sen-
tonce by adding in a Horrewful tone, "but
there are no trienils tuore. Id miss
mother awful much and she'd miss me
though I've no work, It's tee bad."
Tears filled the young man's oyes aud
several drops upon his somewhat dirty
cheeks wero wiped away by his ragged
coat slccve as the reporter stepped up and
Inquired whero he was from.
" Lancaster," cams the reply. ' I

is a long time and the pay would little
help mother who is a widow. I don't

The young man's taco scorned te brighten

walked away apparently much hap
