THE EXPOSITOR WAYNESBORO’, CKA.., SUBSCRIPTION PRICK —l\ ABTAKCI: Two Dollars per Annum. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12,1872. THE PILGRIM'S REVERIE. The waning moon shine* pale and still; The wind in russet branches die; Day faints upon the darkening hill, And melts into the days gone by. The vanished days! now diin and far, Yet none so dead tliev cannot wake And stir in me, as yon high star Quivers, deep visioned, in the lake. They glimmer down the moon’s long beam, They rustle in the russet, tree; They fade in twilight’s melting dream, And slide in starlight down to mo. 1 feel the hush of brooding wings The warmth of tender joys far flown, And little flights and flut tarings Of blessings that were once my own. But 0 most sweet, and O most sad, Of all these lost delights that thril! The blessings that I almost had, But life can never more fulfill. And yet ’tis strange, but these are more My own, to-night, than all besides,— Glad stars upon a distant shoie, That draw my sails across the tide. Fade golden evenings, fade and sink! Burn, crimson leaves, burn out and fall! For life is greater than we think, And death the surest life of all. [From tbo Louisville Courior Journal ] OHIO EDITORS. Charateristics of the Men who KN- LiaUTEN THE STATE. Seneca W. Fly, of tlio Stiliwator Gazette, is the oldest editor iu Ohio. Deacon Smith ; of the Cincinnati Gazette is the handsomest. He has a blonde complexion, sprinkled with bran. D. R. Locke (Nasby), of the Toledo Blade, is the most modest editor. He is of suok a sensitive and retiring Dature that he always covers his face with a beer mug when in company. Joseph H. Barrett, of the Times Chronicle, is the lovliest of his sex, and the best clog dancer in the profession. Bond, of the Scioto Gazette, is the tallest editor. Even the Chillicothe chills can’t shake him all over—they divide into three reliefs, like a military guard, and shake him by sections. Andy Francisco, of the State Journal, is the smallest man and the biggest every other way. He and Bond are called The Twins, because they are so much longer and shorter than each other. Captain Mason, of the Cleveland Leader is the handsomest editor in Ohio. Cowles has to stand guard at the door while he writes, to keep the belles away from him. Mackley, of the Jackson Standard, is the old sinner who writes “Random thoughts.” Samuel R. Reed, of tho Cincinnati Gazette, is the greatest thcologiau among the editors. He can so advocate reli gion as to make a man curse the faith he iVas born in. Clark Waggoner, of the Toledo Com mercial, has a nose like Slawkenburgius — be had to enlarge his business to take it all in. Halstead, of the Cincinnati Commer cial, can sit on the fence with more ability than any other editor in Ohio. Griswold, of the Lancester Gazette, is the living image of Emperor Wilhelm, yet he is a fair editor, for one so youDg. Cockerill, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, without being as great a theologian as Reed, or as truly good as Deacon Smith, has a great deal of native piety, res trained by a love for ungodly amuse ments. Bloss, as every body knows, is kept on the Enquirer because he writes tho worst hand in America. His writing looks like a procession of corkscrews going to an Inebriate Asylum. Douglass, of the Zanesville Courier , baa the strongest faith of any editor in Ohio—he believes that Zanesville will be a city notwithstanding its natural advan tages. Captain Lee* of the Delaware Gazette, is the most accomplished scientist among Ohio editors. Plimptom, of Cincinnati Commercial, is the onlyreal poet among Ohio editors — though Deacon Smith got off a very good political brindisi, with the inde corous title “Bully for Grant,” Hopley, of the Bucyrus Journal, is the most stinging writer of classical lampoon, or rhymed political inveotive. Montgomery, of the Logan Republi can, is the handsomest editor in Ohio, but he never goes anywhere, and it isn’t generally known. Benedict, of the Cleveland Herald, is the hardest-worked man in the profes sion. If he wasn’t off at the seaside all summer and down South all winter lie couldn’t stand it. Armstrong, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, is the wildest tnan among Ohio editors. He reaches from Cleveland to Tiffin. Chapman, of the Pomeroy Telegraph, lives higher than any other editor in Ohio, by a thousand feet. Lecky Harper, of the Mount Vernon Banner, is the most patient editor. He will try to tell tho truth a thousand times, and if he fails every time, try it again with unimpaired cheerfulness. Professor Scott, of the Athens Jour nal, is the only female editor in Ohio. Allison, of Steubenville Herald, has enough hair to make a Fifth Avcuue belle go mad with envy. W. E. Morgan, of the Newark Demo crat, spells editor “Auditor.’' Fairbanks of the Cleveland Herald, is our leading Spiritualist. McFarland, of the Portsmouth Tri bune, is the most scrupulously truthful editor iu Ohio. He promised to pub lish Conkliug’s speech in full, and did it, though it occupied three entire pages, and threw out all his advertisements. Joccs, of tho Toledo Blade, is the fattest editor. Tho ugliest editor iu Ohio is a post master named Comly. - m The Advantages of Nf.wspapers. —The advantages of newspapers are every day developed, and new and be fore unsuspected uses for them arc dis covered. It is well known that, they afford warmth on a cold night, when used as a covering, but now we find the article used for the protection of the body under very different circumstances Witness what befela gentleman aud his wife recently in the Holy Laud. While they were travelling toward Jerusalem they were beset by bandits aud robbed not only of their money aud baggage, but even of the clothes in which they were standing, or rather kneeling for mercy. What were they to do ? If they were going to the Garden of Eden it would have been well enough ; but how were they to enter the ancient city of the Lord in a state of primitive nu dity ? In this horrible emergency they begged back from the pluuderers a copy of the Loudon Times. Was there ever such luck before ? For they received not only the usual copy of the great journal but it so happeued that there was a sup plement, which was just the thiug for the lady ! Thus elothod with adver tisements, leading articles, foreign cor respondence, the money market and the parliamentary debates, they entered Jerusalem panapolied against all fierce M isseluians—for these religionists, be it remembered, respect every square iuch of paper, since happily the name of God may be written thereon. We trust Americans going to the East will provide against such emergencies.— Boston Globe. < flow She Did It. I will tell you a rather bare faced story of how a Dublin chambermaid is said to have got twelve commercial travellers into eleven bed-rooms, aud yet to have given each a separate room. Here we have the eleven bed-rooms: w|l|i|3|4|s|6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | — r-J ‘Now,’ said she, ‘if two of you geutle men will go into No.l bed-room, and wait there a few minutes, I’ll find a spare room for ouo of you as soon as I’ve shown the others to their rooms. Well, now, having thus bestowed two gen tlemen in No. 1, she puts the third in No. 2, the fourth in No. 3, the fifth in No. 4, the sixth in No. 5 the seventh in No. 6, the eighth in No. 7 the ninth m No. 8 the tenth in No. 9, and the eleventh in No. 10. She then comes back to No. 1, where, you will remem ber, she left the twelfth gentleman along with the first, and said : ‘I have accommodated all the rest, and still have a room to spare, so if one of you will please step into No. 11, you will find it empty.’ Thus, the twelfth man got his bed-room. Of course, there is a hole in the saucepan somewhere ; but I leave the reader to determine exactly where the fallacy is with a just warn ing to think twice before deciding as to which, if any, of the travellers was the ‘odd man out.’ An Old Lady. —There is living in Kanawlm county, W. Va., Mrs Rachel Stanley, who was born in Bedford coun ty, Vtt., iu 1774. Sho has a grand daughter lifiy-six years old, and has fourteen children, uiuoty-nine grand children, and two hundred aud twenty three great-great grand children. Tho Charleston Courier says : “Within that period of ninety-eight years the Revolution came, Cornwallis surrendered, Washington and fourteen other Presidents presided and died, Napoleon began and ended his military career, Byron come into the world, startled it and died. And yet here is old Aunt Rachel, perched upon the summit of a Kelley’s creek mountain, i her old arm-chair; like Tennyson’s eagle, ringed with the azured world she sits and breathes that pure upper air as if she intended to live right on in defi ance of time.” *i. • -♦ Speaker Blaine affected a good deal of virtuous indignation at the charge, founded on Cul. McComb’s testimony and “Oaks Ames” letters, that lie arid other Radical Congress men were brib ed with Mobiliir stock to vote for a certain measure for the beuefit of the Union Pacific Company. What has Speaker Blaine to say to the testimony which has lately come out in a law suit in New York, by which it appears that he received 32,500 shares of assessable and 2,000 shares of unassessable stock in the Leavenworth, Pawee and Wes tern Railway Company, worth sl,- 920,000, to secure the ratification of the Delaware and Pottawatomie trea ties and the passage of the Pacific Rail road bill ? The value of the assessable stock was $295,000, which sum it is said Blaine kept, distributing the S1 ,- 025,000 among certain of his Radical Colleagues. —Louisville Courier. The California Wheat Crop. —The grain crop of the Pacific slope is report ed as being unprecedented in the annals of that land of plentiful harvests. The wheat crop of Livermore and San J oa quin valleys, California, is estimated at from twelve to fifteen million bushels, which have all bceD gathered and bag ged, and are now lying in heaps along the Central Pacific railroad, awaiting transportation. One field in Livermore valley covers sixty-eight thousand acres or over one hundred and sixty square miles, and has yielded forty bushels of first-class wheat to the acre. Within seven days the wheat yield of that large farm was standing slacked within sight of the railway, in the hempen sacks commonly used fur sending grain to market, aud the cost of the sacks for that farm alone was $30,000. Through the columns of a paper the birth of a daughter was recently an nounced to a citizen of Rockwell, Conn, a nd as he had been married many years and had no children, the event created a sensation among his friends, who de termined to visit him in a body. They set forth having with them a handsome baby carriage, cradle, open-work chair, teething rings, and numerous articles, the uses of which are known to the ini tiated. The embarrassment of the par ty can be imagined when they learned, on reaching the house, that there had been no increase to the population in that vicinity, and that the whole thing was the result of a printer’s blunder. They made the best of it, however, and “left tiie articles for future use.” A good many years ago a Kentuckian went to Cincinnati and drove cart at low wages until he had saved up seven hundred dollors. With this he bought a large load of coal which sunk at the landing the night it was delivered, and he had to sell it for four hundred dol lars. The party who bought it failed before paying, but finally compromised by giving two and a half acres of land for the debt. The land is now in the busines* centre of Cincinnati, and is worth over $1,500,000 to its owner as the price of that load of coal. A New York manufacturer notic ed that in one room the girls were merry and iu another melancholy. He in vestigated and found that the gloomy ■ room was colored with yellow ochre, the other withwash. He applied White wash to the yellow room, and universal happiness was the result. He got the idea noticing how happy it made the Custom House officers. —■ ♦ ♦ A pair of old breeches, with SBOO in the pocket, went through a destructive machine in an lowa paper mill the other day before the operatives discovered the funds.

Mount Florence was improved by Mr. 1). 11. Craig, between 1858 and 1804, and with ten years of natural growth, added to the immense sums expended in improvement, its present value can hardly be over-estimated.
