Latter From Ohio.
Sir. Editor.
I am reminded by ruy former parish
ioners that they have been patiently
looking for a letter from me for some
time. I bhould have written long &g but
by constantly pressing duties, I have de
ferred it from time to lime. And now, if
the Herald will permit me to nse a part
of its valuable space, I will attempt a
rambling letter from the Miami valley
I gave you a description of the valley, and
especially of our beautiful little city in a
former letter, and doubtless you will be
more interested ia learning how we are
getting along, and bow we like oar Ohio
home. In'severitv of climate we find a
vast difference from the glades of Sower
set countr, but I do not know but that
the physical effects of this humid atmos
phere is more deleterious to health than
the eeverity of a climate with a greater
altitute. Pulmonary troubles seem to
prevail toa great extent The winter just
paed bas been regarded by the inhabit
ants here as the most se vere for a num
ber of years, but to us, it did not .-"em
like extrerce winttr weather, when we
remember the snows and blows of the
Alleghany climate. We enjoyed about a
week cf good sleighing in January, which
is of rare occurrence here of late vears.
AH told we did not have a foot of snow
but our roads are so solid and smooth,
that s few inches of snow with sufficient
ly coil weather makes excellent siegh
ing. Our public roads are ail piked and
well graveled so that we experience no
mud even in wet weather. But it is not
so throughout the State. In the North,
and Northeastern part of the State the
public roads are almost impassible. They
have no rock or gravel wilh which to
make solid nads. People who hv li
eu iieie bo Kii scarcely anew l
paieible roads mean, but I have still a
distinct recollection of them in traveling
the bills and hollows of Somerset county.
But when ihetoras of winter are past,
and the Allegheny Las contributed its
last snow drift to the swelling mountain
stream ; when a new bottom ba been put
for the old one that fell out during the
freshet of spring, and the mortar is dried
up, then Somerset county is a paradise
for at least the three Lot months of the
year. The pure, sparkling and delicious
water bursting from almost every bill-
side aud the fresh invigorating mountain
atmosphere, (not mountain dew) are un
known hew. We have however plenty
of the "dew," eliminating the "mountain,"
but in Ohio parlance is know as "corn
juice," and whilst the name may not be
so euphonious, it poeseses all the exhilar
ating qualities common to the liquid.
To-day is a real spring day, and the
order is garden making about the home
and in the field, sowing oats. It will cot
be long in the future when some cool re
treat will be eagerly sought by an nnac
climated Ohioian, with the exclamation
"Oh ! for a stiff mountain breeze of about
ten minutes duration." This country bas
great advantages over Somerset county
in the natural fertility of the soil, easy
farming, good road.-, natural gas for fuel
and light, longer school terms and better
pay to teacher, bnt with your delightful
climate and good water, with your sum
mer paradise and buckwheat cakes and
maple syrup you our cp with us, with
exception of educational progress. In
ngard to organization, the svstem of
schools of Pennsylvania is superior, but
there Ae yet other inequalities that will
by and by be changed. I am not con
cerned so much in the contest that is be
ing waged as to which is the "Metrop
olis" of Somerset county, bnt I want to
say that Somerset is a grand old conntyt
and don't you forget it. If a kind provi
dence favor us, three Ohio ins will put in
an appearance among the old hills about
the middle of June and aseist in the ded
ication of the St. Paul's Lutheran ckurch
in the New Centrevill pastorate. My
people here are willing to grant ns at least
a month's vacation, and we are lookinz
forward to that time with joyful antici
pations. Our church work i. moving
along, keepirg'paoe with similar interests
around us. This section cf country, I
am sorry to say, is not as churchly as we
would desire to see it There are causes
for it, that are local, but I cannot infringe
on jour columns. to discuss . them or even
venture brief statement. I must con
tent myself on the progress of our work
with the verdict of my people, who think
we are moving along well, and with flat
tering outlook. Our congregations are
growing gradually which is a healthful
sign and comforting to a pastor's heart.
We erjoy the .confidence and esteem of
our people and have had evidences of
the god will of them outside of our own
fold. We have not however, escaped
from the assaults of designing men and
women of our own household of faith.
Preachers are subject to these cruel at
tacks occasionally. You have often beard
of preacher's being watched and caned,
but our parsonaire was invaded, the
whole family captured and vigorously
pounded. Once under the power of these
invaders, unarmed .and subdued by force
of numbers, we were entirely at their
metcy. We submitted with the best
grace possible, hardly being able to open
our mouths. What could we say ? Friends
to the right ofyoa; friends to the left of
yon ; friends in front of you ; friends all
around too. V.'e'.l, we snbmitted and
made an unconditional surrender. The
parson bad been out calling upon a few
friends at their places of business, and on
his way borne stopped at the meat market
and while there a courier, who had been
APRIL 13, 1892.
dispatched after me found me, telling me
that be and his wife bad come to spend
the evening. The announcement made
ma harpy friends live to meet friends,
and under his escort wesoou reached the
Dominie's residence. In approaching the
parsonage, be called my attention to the
gas jets on tLird street, so as not to have
me observed anything about the parson
age. He led the way to the door, and
giving the bell a violent pull, in bewild
erment I was ushered into the sitting
room crowded with people. Every eye
was fixed on me and a loud emits on
every face. I elanced into the parlor and
found it was tilled. I had a yard of sau
sage when I left the meat market, and I
knew that I bad it in coming up street,
bat I was not aware that I had anything
a hen I entered my home until after a
little composure made it evident that I
have some thing of which I should be re
lieved ; yet harJly knowing what it was-
My a ife a ho Lad by this time recovered
somewhat from the shock, came to my
relief. She led me through the dining
rconi where I encountered others and on
through to the kitchen where I found it
croaded w ith people, and baskets fill
td with packages and bundles. When I
took in the whole situation to-day that
the hearts of a pastor's family were made
glad, is putting it mildly. Dry goods,
grocerie s, vegetables, and a staled en
velope for the pastor's wife left the par
sonage S jO.O.) richer than before they
eaaoe. Tue valm of eifts like these
to a pastor s family is very helpful and
highly appreciated and call forlh our
heartfelt thanks to those kind doner?,
but that which enhances them still more
is that they are a token of the apprecia
tion and esteem in which they regard
their pastor. We need evidence of ap
preciation to stimulate us to better work,
and one besides regular attendance at the
house of worship and their prayers and
co-operition in building op the kingdom
of Christ Lj evidence of love and esteem
as was manifested on Wednesday niyht
March ICth. I must close, hoping to s-e
you all soon.
Yours truly,
John II. ins.

Rather Fishy.
Charles Johnson, of Babylon, occasion
ally indulges in a fish st.iry. He told a
fishy one yesterday to a company at the
Sherman House, and as those present did
not even smile it may be recorded as a
fact. Mr. Johnson owns a trout stream
and also a bull dog. Just ahat the bull
dog's connection a ith the trout stream is
was not made clear to the reporter. Yet

An Experience at DwighL
The following ia the story toll by a
gradnare of the Keeley Institute, an in

lated by "Bourbon."
" I wsnt down on the jag train," said
he, "and I tell you I had a jag on as big
as a Kansas wheat lick. Yon see, I was
afraid I wouldn't gt any whisky at
Dwight, so aiter filling myself up to the
collar button with bozoe, I secreted four
or five quart bottles about my personal
premises. I had two in my grip, and my
pockets fairly bulged with booze. When
I got to Dwight I was escorteJ to the ho
tel, where I found many sympathiz
ing friends, who, however, refused to
join in my liberations, although they did
not attempt to deprive mo of my stock.
The next mcrning I joined the precess
ion to the shot-tower, where I received a
dose of 'dope and a hypodermic injec
tion of the gold cure in the arm. Whis
ky is giveti to thow who desire it. In
fact no attempt is mide to deprive them
cf their aee'isto:nr;d bevemge. I kept op
my 'toot' for twodavs, being gloriously
full all the time, but taking my mrular
course of treatment.
" But on the third day came a frost, a
killing frost, and nipped my enthusiasm
in the bud. The first ellect wis a 6uspi- j
cion that somebody had surreptitiously
inserted a dead mouse in my beloved
whisky bottle. I held it r.p to the light,
but couldn't see anything, and theu con
cluded that I was simply net fcelicg
well.
" On the fifth day I bad a taste in my
mouth like the remains of a diseased cat
stu'Ld with limburger cheese. I was
afraid to go into society a ith my mouth,
anu was atraid it wou.J nave to be am
putited. The doctor made the matter
worse ly telling me thai I aasa'.l right.
"' It's a sign,' said he, 'that you are
cured.'
" But, have I to carry this morgue
around with me ail my lifts?"
"'O, that bad ta-e.e will pass aAay.
" ' Pass away ? Why, doctor, it ha
already passed aaay. It is so dea l that
it is beginning to sjoil."
"The doctor comfoited me and I went
out on the prairie aud let the wind blow
through the rafters of my mouth until
supper time, when I felt Detter and ceas
ed, to weep over the remains of n;r
breath. In ten days I was all right

Compliments.
A Selection of Those That Have
Passed Into History
There is a delicious story told of an old
minister of the Church of Scotland who
was often obliged to employ assistants
during the Litter part of his life. One of
these was rather vain of his qualifica
tions as a preacher, but affected to be
quite embarrassed by any compliment he
recived on that score. On his first ap
pearance after the sermon the old divine
went to the probationer and waa going to
(hake handa with him. Anticipating
nothing short of high-Sowa praise the
ycung man exclaimed.
"My gr.od sir, no compliments ; no com
pliments, I beg!"
"Na, na," replied the parson, "no
days I'm glad o' anybody."
How far this decidedly left-handed
compliment fell short of the recipient's
anticipation he alone could tell, but bis
feelings must have been somewhat sim
ilar to those of that tedious orator, who,
having been in vain told by Henry IV,
of France, that he would be obliged to
biui if ha would make Lis flattery as
brief as poible, was at length crushed
by the King rising and saying :
"You mut be kind enough to say the
rest to M. tiunlaume" itko Court fooiV
In the wcrlds history compliments
Lave oftentimes " played an important
part, sovereigns, statesmen, couriers,
scholars and all others of the great hu
man firnilv difduinicg not the use of
flattering speech to gain their ends.
No one knew better the power possess
ed by a really polished compliment than
Sheridan, an I on innumerable occasions
during that rather stormy theatrical man
agement of his did he extricate himself
from a dilliculty by means of one.
A good instance is the following:
An English nobleman, who, after the
manner of other of his peers, had marri
ed a beautiful actress, once applied with
much dignity in the green-room to Mr.
Sheri.iau fur the arrears of her salary
andvoaedhe would not sta' till tbey
ere paid. "My dear Lord," said the
impeeuuious manager, "this is too bad;
you have taken from ns the brightest
jewel in the world and now yoa quarrel
with us for the little dust she bas left be
hind her." The nobleman immediately
burst out lacg'oirg and over a bottle of
wine the debt w.n paid.
Of famous compliments paid to the fair
sex the supply is so large and dazxling
that it is a matter rf no small diificulty
to pick oat the brightest gems; but if
the fjl'owirg one was unlooked for it
certainly deserves a place amony the
best. Fontesetle, when W vears old
passed before Maie. Helvetins without
perceiving her.
Ah," said the Lvl v, "that w your gjij-
ever lookin;

"If I had looked at you madame," re
plied thelold beau, "I never cooid bave
passed yoa at all."
As neat a on was uttered by General
P.omaine. Meeting Lady de Brientz,
whom be bad knoan and admired in
the loveliness of her youth, he com
menced complimenting her.
"You forget that I ain an old woman,"
she said at length.
"Madame," returned the gallant soldier
"when cur eyes are dazzled by a diamond
it never occurs to ns to ak a mineralo
gist for its LUtory."
I.;.rerent from this was the reply of a
gentleman once aho was one day compli
menting 5! me., Denis on the manner in
which she played the character of
U4'--
But." oliecled the lady, "an actress.
to play the party well, should be young
and beautiful."
"jh, no," exclaimed thecandid eulogist
you are a proof to the contrary."
It is an old reproach against Orientals
that they are unable to say pretty things
to ladies ; but a dacghter of Louis XIV,
the Princess de Conti, inspired a Mooria1!
Ambassador with as gracefully turned a
complimnent as can be imagined. She
had railed against the Mohammedan
custom of polygamy when the Moor thus
defended the practice :
"Madame," he said, "a plurality of
wives is allowed among us, because in
our couutrv we must seek in several
women the charming qualities
thich are
here to be found in one."
The Toet Moore, w ho never let an oppor
tunity slip of complimeting the fair sex,
was ia the present :ttance hardly kind
to the husband. Being one day in the
company of a beautiful woman who wore
on her bosom a miniature likeness of her
spouse, w bo wa the reverse of handsome,
he w as asked by her w-hom he thought
the portrait resembled.
"I think," said the poet, "it is like the
Saracen's head on Snow Hill."
A bold stroke to obtain liberty by
means of a compliment was that made
by M. de Maupertius, when a prisoner in
Austria, was presented to the Empress,
who said to him :
"Yoa know the i ueea of Sweden, sister
to the King of Picssia?"
"Yes, madame."
"I am told that she is the most beauti
ful Princes in the world."
"Madame." replied the cunning pris
oner, "I al wtys thought so until now."
This was as diplomatic as the words
and action of the Marquis Medina, a
Spanish nobleman. l teen Elizabeth,
who had been admiring Lis eleg mce and
complimenting him on it, at the same
time begged to know who pjsseased the
Ler.rt ot so accomplished a cavalier.
"Madame," said he, "a lover rirks too
much on such an occasion, but Your Ma
jesty's will is law. Excuse me, however,
if I fear to name her, but request Y'our
Majesty's acceptance of her portrait."
He at nt her a looking glass.
While opon the subject of Royal
compliments, the one paid to the present
Queen by the Sovereign of Zinzibar is
worth repeating. It is a fine piece of
Ori ntal pcetry. He said that be mental
ly Lkened her "to that mountain of load
stone mentioned in. "The Thousand and
Oae Nights which drew the nails oat of
the Bides of the shir which passed that
way. Even so did the hear Is of the
Englishman I have hitherto met seem
drawn on by a magnet to Her Majesty."
A pretty compliment, indeed.
The following, however, is still better
if scni.'what grotesque ia its termination.
It is credited to a SUmspse A mbassador,
who wrote of the Queen thus : "One can
not but be struck with the aspect of the
Queen of EugUad or fail to objerve that
she must be of pore descent from a race
of goodly and warlike Kings and rulers
of the earth, in that her eyes, complex
ion, and, about all her bearing, are those
of a beautiful and majestic white ele
phant."
So:ue famous core pli men ts have been
paid to members of the sterner sex, and
one of the most gracefully turned was
that uttered bv II jilaa. aho ahen the
virtuous De Mcsmee, President of the
Farliaiueut of Paris, wa.selevted Academ
ician, congratu.ateI biui in thene teruis:
"I have come to you, sir, in order that
yoa may congratulate me on Laving yoa
tor one of my fenow-academicians."
To be eulogized when dead is more of
ten the lot of man than to be praised ia
Ufe, bat surely a quainter compliment
ras revived by Talleyrand, for when his
demise was announced to one of his
acquaintances the latter exc'Aimexl :
"He must have had some good reason
for dying! I think I will be at least ill
myself," and forthwith went to bed.
Yet another compliment to a dead man
was uttered by the MArchionesa cf
who, when told that the celebrated
physician Borden hd been found dead
in bed, exclaimed : "AU death was so
afraid of him that be did dot dare attack
him except when he was asleep."
Even the stern business of war has not
prevented the exchange of compliments
between miliary men, and of these none
better deserves quotation than one pai l
by Hannibal to Scrpio. While discuss
ing with Scipio on the subject of great
military commanders be said that
Alexander was first, Pyrrhus was second.
and himself third.
"And where would you have placed
yourself if yoa had vanquished me?"
asked Scipio, saiiling.
"Before them all," replied HtnnibaL
