THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL. ESTABLISHED 1823. WHEN INDICATIONS. SATURDAY.—Warmer, fair weather, followed liy local rains; northerly, sliif.insr to southeasterly winds, stationary or lower pressure. We here present to the readers of the Journal a care fully revised Weather Chart, with the meteorological lines separating the different regious located with more accuracy than is shown in hastily devised maps. In publishing our weather indications we have at times' missed in our forecasts for Indianapolis and Central Indiana. There is a reason lor this. By looking at the dotted iine separating the Upper LaKe from the Ohio Valley region it will be seen that In dianapolis is within twenty miles of the southern line of the Upper Lake region, and we may reasonably infer that at times the weather hereabouts will partake more of the character of the Upper Lake region than of the Ohio Valley region. And now after having relieved our minds in regard to “indications,” how we get them right, and how sometimes we don’t, we wish to ask if you ever stop to think for a mo ment what the difference was between the re tail and wholesale price of Underwear. Know then, “ye safe and formal men,” who “cannot know what ye have never tried,” that it is fully 23 cents on .every dollar invested. Now if you have the disposition to save this difference inspect the 188 different varieties of this class of goods on sale at the WHEN CLOTHING STORE, And then use your judgment. What! We haven’t got them? Let us see about this. We have got and can show you to select from the following quantities and styles: 1 variety that we sell at .15 2 varieties that we sell at .20 5 varieties that we sell at .25 2 varieties that we sell at .30 5 varieties that we sell at .35 5 varieties that we sell at .40 4 varieties that we sell at .45 18 varieties that we sell at .50 5 varieties that we sell at .60 6 varieties that we sell at .65 14 varieties that we sell at .75 6 varieties that we sell at .85 4 varieties that we sell at .90 14 varieties that we sell at SI.OO 4 varieties that we sell at 1.10 4 varieties that we sell at 1.20 10 varieties that we sell at 1.25 4 varieties that we sell at 1.30 5 varieties that we sell at 1.40 11 varieties that we sell at 1.50 4 varieties that we sell at 1.60 4 varieties that we sell at 1.70 1 variety that we sell at 1.75 4 varieties that we sell at 1.80 4 varieties that we sell at 1.90 10 varieties that we sell at 2.00 3 varieties that we sell at 2.25 5 varieties that we sell at 2.50 7 varieties that we sell at 3.00 5 varieties that we sell at 3.25 1 variety that we sell at 3.50 4 varieties that we sell at 4.00 2 varieties that we sell at 4.50 5 varieties that we sell at 5.00 188 One hundred and eighty-eight different desires can be satisfied.

Bill for the Relief of Tenants. London, May 11.—The Right Hon. George J. Dodson, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, introduced a bill in the Commons, yesterday, by which agricultural teuants will be entitled to receive, when their tenancies expire, compensa tion from landlords for improvements they may have made to the lands they occupied. This will be the principal measure brought before the House during the session. By it, landlords’ right of distress will be limited to a sum equivolent to one years’ rent. Croke’s Statement not Satisfactory. Rome, May 11.—Archbishop Croke bas sent a communication to Cardinal Jauobini, maintain ing tbat his conduct in relation to the agitation in Ireland has been perfectly regular, and tbat his object is not to stimulate to revolt, but to obtain for the people right and juetice. The ex planation of the. Archbishop is not deemed sat isfactory at the Vatican. Archbishop Croke, of Dublin, was received in an audience by the Pope to-day, when the Pope informed the Archbishop of certain grave resolutions which he had taken In regard to the agitation in Ireland, especially one condemning the clergy in promoting tho Parnell fund. It is believed the resolutions will shortly be sent to the Irish episcopate. Imprisonment, of a Naturalized Citizen.

They Are Not Considered Paupers by Those Having Charge of Them. Boston Herald. At the Allan line offioo the writer was referred to Mr. William Fitzgerald, who was a member of the Boston police force for some ten years, And who is now the local agent of Mr. Tukc. Said he: “None of the emigrants arriving by the Allan line steamers have been assisted by the state. When they arrive here, I get a list of the passengers, go to the several railroad offices, procure tickets and send them to their destina tion.” "How many have you looked after of late!” “About 800 slnoo the Ist of March.” “Do you consider them to be pauporsl” “I do not.” “Do any of these emigrants leave England without having a definite destination in vicwl” “None of those sent by the Take fund pr tho local government. They are ticketed through to their destination, and the money given them is to help them along until they uimpettled.” Another genilonian, au Englishman, gives the following account of the Tuke movement: “Two years ago Mr. Tuko organized a relief bureau, uud gave a large sum of mouey for the purpose jof assisting emigrants. Other philanthropists added to the fund, and contributions are contln- I ltrtlly being received through the lord mayor of j London. The English government entered into j a contract with the Allans to bring over over I 15,000 emigrants none of whom are sent as pau pers, Persons wishing to emigrate apply to tho clerk of the Board of Guardians of the union in which they reside. The most deserving, and those who are thought to he best able to care for themselves, are selected from the applicants. Those who are sent out are cared for by Mr. Tnke’s agents. Their wardrobes are replen ished, and, with empty pockets, they are put on board ship; but the generous fare furnished by the Allans keep the people in good health, ami they are in good condition when they arrive in this country. Although the voyagers leave Black Sod Bay and Galway penniless, before tuey come on Aiqerican soil tney have more money m their pockets than those who come without assistance. The Take committee sends each person to his or her destination, wherever it may be, and this is, in tiie majority of cases, the almde of relatives, ho that the strangers find themselves among friends who know how to advise them as to their future course. Each emigrant is given money enough to provide food en route, and to keep him for a time until he may get employment. Tins is supplied from the Tuko fund, and is intrusted to some age nr, who is generally the purser of the steamer, to distribute among the immigrants. The amount given varies with the size of the family and the t'istauce to be traveled. These people are, v- ith very few exceptions, people in the prime of life, or promising boys and girls.” IRELAND’S NEW FRIEND. The Russian Idea of a Russo-Irisli Combina tion Against England. St. Petersburg Gazette. Like all tbe European States Russia has been the enemy of every other country, and may be so again; but she has only two enemies with whom she will inevitably have to enter Into a struggle for life or death—these are Germany and England. The conflict between the ‘Slavs and the Germans is a historical and unavoidable necessity. As to the coming struggle with Eng land, Russia should prepare herself for it by a rapprochement with Ireland. The United States of America were able to gain their freedom with out foreign help, and the liberation of Ireland is only a question of time. Ireland’s victory will he made the more certain and speedy by the fact that the majority in England, as well as in Ireland, will certainly demaud, be fore long, tho establishment of a separate rational Parliament at Dublin. Whether the result will be the autonomy or the completo .Independence of Ireland. England will, in either case, bo completely paralyzed as regards her action abroad. It is, therefore, undoubtedly tno direct interest of Russia that Ireland should come victorious out of the struggle in which she is at present engaged. We need not openly as sist her; this would be useless, aud, indeed, im possible. But it is our duty to enter into friendly relations with Ireland, which would bo the more advantageous to us. inasmuch as they would improve our relations with the Catholics gener ally. The best means of doing this would be to promote Irish emigration to Russia. The estab lishment of Irish colonies in southern Siberia, in the Caucasus, ami in Turkestan district*, with a climate far surpassing that of Ireland, would he very advantageous both for the Irish and for Russia. There is much land in these districts which would he admirably suited for Irish set tlements; and if such a movement were encour aged by tbe Russian government, Russia would be brought into as close connection ami sympa thy with Ireland ms that which exists between Ireland aud the United States. THE FISHERIES. Programme for the Opening of the Inter national Exhibition To-Day. London, May 11.—The programme for the opening of the international fisheries exhibition io-noriow is arranged.

The Emperor William lias written to the Prus sian cabinet, referring to the changes in the war and navy ministers, which he 6ays was caused by a want of energy on the part of General Von Katueke and Adriilrul Von Ktosch in protecting the imperial prerogatives of military command against the pretensions of the Reichstag. Attacking the Government Policy. London, May 11.—In tlie Commons, this after noon, Bir Richard Ashton Cross, Conservative, called attention to tho surrender of the Cuban refugees, Maceo, Rodriguez and Castillo, to the Spanish authorities at Gibraltar. Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, Conservative, attacked the policy or the govenmienr, which, he said, was weak and cringing. Sir Charles Dilke, president of the local gov ernment board, denied that Spain noted in a manner to give England tho right to demand tho return of tlie Cubans. Mr. Ilardiuge Gifford. Moderate Conservative, contended that there had been uii absolute breach of international law, und tho British consul con nived at it. Attoruey-general James supported the views of Dilke. Uuder Foreign Secretary Fitzrnaurioe said it whs hoped that Maceo would soon he liberated, but the tone assumed by tlie Tones was not likely to favorably influence the ease. A Scheme that Failed. Paris, May 11.—Judgment was rendered in the suit of Mrs. Hope against Baron Dobiltcny, for 100,000 francs damage for putting forward as heir to property left by his wife, Mrs. Hope’s daughter, a boy, who ho declared was the off spring of tlie first marriage of Mile.

Childers, chancellor of the exchequer, stated in the Commons that the government would con sider, during the present year, the question of permitting the growing of tobacco in the United Kingdom. The fact that Waddington will visit Berlin be fore lie goes to Moscow to attend the coronation of the Czar, has given rise to a report that Ills mission is to assure Germany of the peaceful policy of France. THE INDIAN WAR. The Apaclieg Driven from Their Stronghold at tlie Point of the Bayonet. San Francisco, May 11.-The Chronicle’s special from Hermosillo, Mexico, gives further particulars of Torres’s flght with tho Indians. He had been pursuing the Apaches for twenty days, on a trail which led to the Montezuma district in northeastern Honora. At Guazunora he wasjoiued by Colonel Garcia, and made a forced inarch of five days and nights for the hills of the Sierra Madras. The soouts espied the Indians moving off’, and twenty-five of them struck a large body iu a stronghold heretofore unknown, having, the oldest scout says, the ap pearance of being settled three or four years, and had a quantity of stolen stock. The scouts were attacked and driven back on the main body of troops. The mountain being inaccessible to cavalry, the troops dis mounted and made a march of twelve miles. They fouud the Indians strongly entrenched on the crest of a large spur of high mountains. The troops, 300 strong, made an attack at 1 o’clock. They had to climb the mountain on hands and knees, and the Indians, failing to damage by tir ing, rolled bowlders down the mountain side,but without effect. The chief, supposed to bo Ju, had his station on a high point of the mountain, and his commands to the Indians could be heard distinctly for a mile. It took two hours for the troops to gain tho crest of the mountain, and when they reached if, two were shot dead. Tlie fight on the summit lasted two hours. The troops, swinging behind tho left of the Indians, made an attack, charging bayonets, and forcing them from their position. The Indi ans tied, leaving eleven dead bucks on the ground. Five soldiers were killed and eight seriously wounded. Tho Indians were driven for miles, aud as tlie trail showed much blood, a great many are supposed to be wounded. Torres says it was the most savago fight ever made with Apaches. He says they retreated into northeastern Chircahua. He thinks there is no doubt that tlie rancho is the long unknown stronghold of the Apaches; it is 200 miles east of Sonora, and about the same distance south east from the Arizona border. He says that the trails of all the small bands depredating iu Sonora and Arizona lead to this place. WEALTH CLAIMED. Hessians After a Section of Philadelphia Worth Millions.

Cleveland, May 11.—Ainaaa stone, tho mil lionaire railway and iron magnate, committed suicide this afternoon, by shooting himself through the heart with a revolver, at his resi dence on Euclid avenue, while suffering from temporary insanity caused bj r indigestion aud sleeplessness. The discovery was made by Mrs. htone about 4 o’clock. Mr. Stone did not ri6e until 1 o’clock to-day, and after walking round tho house went to his room again; thither Mrs. Btoue went shortly before 4 o’clock, and, not finding him, searched further. The bath-room was found to be locked on the inside. Mrs. Stone called the butler, aud be climbed over tlie partition only to find his master lying on the floor, half undressed, dead aud cold, with a pis tol ball through his heart. The pistol, a thirty two-calibre Smith <fc Wesson, was clenched in his light hand. He must have been dead for some time, but how longcanuot be learued, as uo re port of tlie pistol was heard. The affair is the sensation of the town this ev ening, and all Cleveland is talking of this pecu liar man, his peculiar life, und its sad ending. Ho was sixty-live years of age, and until the last two months was always aetivo in business. For that period, however, he has been au intense sufferer from lusomnia, aud has been out of his house but little. Mr. Stone was born at Charlton, Mass of Puritan parents. He remained on his father’s farm until a yonng man, and then learned the carpenter’s trade. He became a bridge builder after a while, aud finally took, with others, tbs contract of constructing the Cievelaud, Colum bus, Cincinnati Indianapolis railroad.

To perpetuate the memory of this sou a college was reared iu this city and called Adelbert, an account of the dedication of which appeared iu the New York Tribune last Octo ber. He was worth $8,000,000 or so. Personally he was cold, austere and very close. Ho was tall and slender, of gray vis age, boarded aud mustachod heavily with iron-gray hair, and generally had a clerical aspect. His bnsiuess sagacity was of the highest order, aud his persoual hab its plain and simple. He lias been living in re tirement since his withdrawal from the Lake Shore directory last full, when the Nickel-plate deal was made. He leaves a widow aud two daughters, both married—one the wife of Colo nel John Hay, the litterateur and diplomatist, and the other of Mr. Samuel Mather, a promi nent iron man and bauker of this city.

He was the founder of Adelbert College, and was extensively interested in railway and iron interests throughout tho country. Later.—Aiuasa Btone died by his own hand. He had been in ill-health for u long time, and of late losses in tho iron and steel business and a multiplicity of financial causes is believed to have produced mental derangement, aud during a fir. of aberration of mind, to-day, he shot him self. Mr. Stone has been suffering for six weeks from insomnia and indigestion, growing steadily worse and more depressed in spirits, though seldom complaining. He seldom obtained more than two hours' sleep all night, aud gradually lie be came possessed of a conviction that he could not recover. He did not leave ids bed this morning, having passed a restless night. At noon lie com plained of feeling exceedingly distressed, indes cribably so, and was lying down about 2 o’clock to try to obtain a little sleep. About 4 o’clock his wife went to ascertain how lie was, and fouud he was not in his room. Biio went to tho bath-room, but tho door was locked. A servant climbed through the transom and discovered Mr. Btono already dead, being partially dressed. It.is sup posed that after bathing ho was seized with a sudden impulse and fired a bullet through his heart with accurate aim. Death must have been instantaneous. Tlie report of trie revolver was not hoard by any one. He leaves a widow and two (laughters, one the wife of Colonel John Hay, recently Assistant Secretary of State, tlie other the wife of Samuel Mather. Colonel and Mrs. Hay sailed yesterday from Liverpool after a protracted absence abroad. The others of the family are at home here, EFFECT ON BUSINESS ENTERPRISES. Colonel W. If. Harris and Dan I*.

Washington, May 11.—Mr. Wilson continued his address to the jury In the star-route trial this morning. He maintained that the routes should nut be regarded according to their separate aud individual value, but rather as partß of one vast, complicated and murnally-dependent system. Men might honestly hold different opinions on the subject, but surely ids client was justified when be believed with General Sherman, Secre tary Teller, Delegate Mugtnnis, and other high officials. It was a question tequiriug a states man to grapple with it. When the hour for adjournment was reached Mr. Wilson had disponed of three of tin* nineteen routes set out in the indictment. The court then said it was manifest that the argument under tlie present arrangement would be protracted, and counsel were therefore untitled that one representative only would he heard for each de fendant. The defense, protested against tin* ruling, aud asserted that ume’would be saved by adherence to tlie original plan, as tlie coun sel would not cover tbe same ground in their arguments. The only effect of their appeals, however, was to induce Judge Wylie to with hold until Monday a formal ruling iu the case. Adjourned until Monday. HERR MOST. An Impostor wild a Traitor to tlie Cause He Claims to Represeut. Washington Special. A gentleman, who has offl'ial knowledge of want he Is talking ahoir, told to-duy some things which show up Herr Most, the labor agitator, In an unenviable light. He declares that he is an impostor and u traitor to the element he pretends to champion. While here, and in the various cities of this country, ho was the guest of various labor organizations, receiving many iu various ways for his support. This gentleman says that he met certain officials of the Austrian govern ment upon one occasion and deliberately made a bargain for stipulated price, to be paid In money, to betray all the secrets of the work Ingmen's party iu Europe, with which lie was associated. His services a* an informer were accepted, and he turhed over to Hie government tlie pa pel s. documents, and other iu formation relative to tlie Hociultsr party. A show was made of putting Most in prison, to throw the public, and especially Ills party, off their guard, and was kept in jail five, weeks, and let go with Ills ill-gotten gold. It is a lege.l, further, that Most was not a high-priced villian, ar.d di l not charge much Tor his treachery. He then proceeded to France and then tEnglnnd,pu**liig ns t he ehatn vrt* are scat tered all through tho offices. Tho next day re ports from twenty or thirty other counties in diff.-ient State* are received, and they are. missed, like the others, through the department to be made lip. This goes on until all the reports are m. Tae reports are then so mixed up that the clerks have nothing but. figures to work upon. Thus In their ad dition they do not know whether they aro adding up a column of barley* or wheat. At 2 o’clock on the day the report is to be made pub lic the statistics are ordered brought into the chief clerk’s room, where they are placed under the proper heading, footed up, Hnd the grand total made and known for the first time. This consumes about, uu hour’s time, end, as it i* 3 o’clock and after before tho result Is known, tlie markets throughout the country have generally closed, and the Ir.tormatinu is known by every body who cures for It by tin* next morning. Thus j it will be seen that all stories sent out from here on the eve of the report claiming inside inforuia Tlon have not a shadow of truth, and are circu i lated purposely to influence the markets aud aid unscrupulous speculators. GENERAL AND PERSONAL. Fitting; Out the Arctic Signal Service Re lief Expedition. Washington, May 11.—The organization and outfit of the signal service relief expedition to Lady Franklin Bay under command of Lieuten ant Garlington are now practically complete and General Ilazen will shortly go to St. Johns, Newfoundland, in person, to select a steamer for the use of the party. Everything, he says, which experience could suggest has been done to insure the success of the undertaking. Lieu tenant Garlingtou’s men have boon selected with great care by General Terry, from among tlie best plainsmen uoder his corn in and, and they are believed to be unusually well qualified 1 u point of physical elliconoy for tho arduous serv j ice which tu *y be before them.

Guiteau’s Fac Simile. Wudiiugion Special. There is no gelling rid of Gulteau. It was stated in these dispatches some months ago that the bones and skin of his face had been care fully preserved. With a little manipulation these were filled out and made to assume the facini expression of the assassin ufter he was cut down from the scaffold. Following up his work, the custodian ot this noition of the re mains has completed a fall-length figure of Guiteau. It is a perfect representation of Gap field’s murderer, and would be a startling curb oßity for a traveling show'. The gentleman wlm has taken ibis pains to perpetuate Guitean’s memory will not guy what disposition he will make of the figure. He wants to see how Dr. Hicks fares in his libel suits before making any move. It is not unlikely that some of the great showmen will get possession of it and exhibit It around tho country.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Several Murderers Paid the Penalty of Their Crimes Yesterday. United States Marshal Charged with Fraud —9everal Children Burned to Death —The List Larger than Usual. THE CRIMINAL RECORD. Continuation of Evidence in the Trial of the Murderer Dunn. CHICAGO, May 11.—The trial of Jere Dunn for the murder of the pugilist, James Elliott, was resumed in the Criminal Court, this morning. Charles White was the first witness called. He Was a waiter in the Tivoli restaurant, where the tragedy occurred, ami saw Elliott and Pleasted sitting at a table, on the night of Marcll 1, in the south aisle, Elliott facing the door. Witness was m the back room, but on hearing a shot fired, tnrued around and saw Elliott throw up his hands; there was nothing in them. Elliott grab bed a chair and raised it, and so struck the chandelier. Elliott then made for the door, alter the shooting, and ran out; did not 6ee a struggle between the men. J. H. Mice was in the Tivoli restaurant on the Ist of March last. Had known Dunn for three years, and had seen Elliott. The latter too* supper In the front room of the res fan rant at the south side of the aisle: was sitting about ten feet from the partition between the front nod hack rooms, at the east side of the table. Witness saw Dunn come in directly through the front room; Ids hands were in his coat pocket, and he was walking fast. He walked up to the entrance of the rear room, and t once drew a revolver and tired: immediately he fired the second shot, and then drew back into the passageway with uplifted arms, ns if to guard against, a blow. Mice then saw Elliott coining toward Dnnn with an uplifted chair in bis hand, anil Dunn then fired the third shot. Elliott struck the chandelier with the chair, dropped it, and grasp* and hold of Dunn. At that time there was nothing in El liott’s hand. Two men then went out of sight behind the partition, and witness next saw Dunn standing over Elliott’s dead body. The defense propounded various questions to Impeach witness'testimony. During the testi mony t wo witnesses for the defense were rt'scov ered in the court-room and were immediately ousted. It was learned, this morning, that Hardy, the Juror suspected of being a snorting character, is h respectable resident ot the city and engaged in business here. Mr. Storrs, one of the counsel for defense, states that he anticipates the trial will be con cluded by Thursday next. By agreement of counsel, the court will ad journ at 1 o’clock to-morrow afteruoou uutil Monday. Progress of Thompson’s Trial. HAitnoDsnunG, Ky., May 11.—In the trial of Phil B. Thompson for killing Walter H. Davis,the Calling of Mrs. Roth, of the St. Clair Hotel, Cin cinnati, by the defense to prove the acts of Davis and Mrs. Thompson was a signal for an objection by the Commonwealth to the admissibility of all evidence of that character. Argument followed for two hours, when the court ruled that it would admit the evidence, sublet to future ruling in the charge to the jury as to its compe tency. Mrs. Roth testified as to the meeting of Davis nnd Mrs. Thompson; that Mrs. Thompson was in Davis’s room more than an hour on Nov. 28; that she saw her in the hall in a drunken state after ward, and helped her to Miss Buckner’s room, and heard the conversation between them; Mrs. Thompson said they had been to tile theater, but left before the play ended. Johu Muurer, porter, testified to the same facts, saving that Mrs. Thompson was iu Davis’s room with Davis an hour and a half. Conductor Martin, who was on the train when Ihe shooting took place, said when Davis was 'turned over he saw a pistol half way out of his hip-pocket. A colored porter testified that, he saw Davis try to draw a pistol while standing on the plat form, and just before the fatal shot was fired. A few other witnesses were heard as to minor de tails. Public opinion seems to vacillate as the testi mony progresses, and guesses as to ihe result seem to favor a disagreement of the. jury. The defense has the moat aide counsel, but the pros ecution is using every effort to make the best of their side of the case. At the present rate or progress it is thought the case will be ready for argument, by Monday or Tuesday. Tue last witness on the stand was J. B. Thomp son, brother of the defendant. His testimony had hardly begun until the point of its compe tency was raised. He had testified that at the request of his brother he came to Cincinnati and investigated the story, aud became satisfied of the guilty conduct of Mr. Davis aud Mrs. Thompson, and when his brother returned from Washington in Anril told him of it. The prose cutton undertook to require witness to tell how he became satisfied of the criminality of Davis. Defense objected to tins kind of inquiry. The court postponed ruling till morning. Lotted States Marshal Strobaoh Charged with Fraud. MONTQMERY, Ala., May 11.—Paul Strobach ■was appointed marshal of the Southern and Middle districts of Alabama about the time Con gress adjourned. Before the appointment special agents of the Department of Justice were sent to Alabama to investigate the ac counts and books of bis predecessor, M. C.

The whole amount or the accounts is $3lB Stro bacli is under bond of $2,000. He demands an immediate trial, which will probably come off on Saturday or Monday. The indictments cause great excitement here, where Strobach is re garded as the leading man of ins party. Ho claims to have a good defense, and that the whole thing is a plot among rival factions of nis own party, the Republican, to ruin him and ;et him out of office. An Arkansas Man Legally Strangled.

Dawlpy, of 76 Knight, street, Provi dence, R. 1., relates to our reporter her experi ence with tho wonderful curative properties of what is destined soon to be the standard ami leading specific of the whole wide world for Kid nev anil Liver Diseuses, etc. Mrs. D. says: “Eafly last spring I was severely afflicted with torpidity of the kidneys and enlargement of the liver, and the Kidney disease came upon me so fust aud suddenly that b*foro I whs scarce'}’ aware of the cause of my trouble I became badly bloated, and my body and limbs very much swol len, so t hat it was with great difficulty and severe pain that I was able to walk any. I became dread fully troubled by being short-breathed, so that even a slight exertion or a little exercise would tire me almost to exhaustion, and I was so dis tressed when I retired nights that I could not sleep, nnd was very restless. Ouo or my limbs especially had n very severe nervous pain, which always seemed to be more severe at night than at any other time, aud would frequently ache so sharply as to urouse me from sleep. I was very nervous and uncomfortublo all the time, aud was being doctored, aud taking all kinds of medicine for this complaint and that and the other, hut all to good purpose, until at about the time when I was tired out and somewhat disgusted, and almost discouraged with medicines and doc tors, a relative aud lilghly-esteemed friend per suaded me to try Hunt’s Remedy. I began to take it a few dass ago, and am happily disap pointed by ihe result, for before I had used a bottle of it I begun to feel relieved, and soon commenced to sleep splendidly; the severe nerv ous pains in my Mmb, which I had to handle so tenrlerlv, do not appear any more; mv headache and backache have disappeared, 1 feel well every way, aud rest well at uuht.

The new asylums ordered by the last Leg islature are practically and for all purposes to which they may be put under the law es tablishing them, under the control of the new Insane Asylum Commission. This lion rable body is composed of Governor Porter as ex officio member; Judge J. C. Robinson, of Spencer; Defoe Skinner, Esq., of Valparaiso; General William Grose, of New Castle, and Colonel ’Joseph Gray, of Noblesville. The use to which these asylums are to be put is not determined by the statute establishing them. The generally received impression that they are to be permanent homes for the incurably insane has no foundation in any au thoritative action yet taken, and is only based on the fact that the present hospital is for cases of acute mania, which may be restored by judicious treatment The new Asylum Commission has no statutory or prescribed relations with the board of trustees for the Indiana Hospital for the Insane; Ihpre is not a member com mon to the two boards. The trustees of the Indiana Hospital are Dr. T. H. Harrison, of Lebanon, president; Philip M. Gapen, of In dianapolis, and Dr. R. H. Tarleton, of Mar tinsville, as trustees. This hoard has control, under the law, of the In diana Hospital. They can elect or dis charge the superintendent, confirm or re ject his medical appointees, and have the general charge of the revenue and disburse ment. The new Asylum Commissioners have imperial power to locate, build, equip, organize and designate the purpose of the three new asy lums. The only restriction is that one of these shall be located at Evansville. There are an average of 2.500 cases of in sanity in the State of Indiana. Os these 1,- 100 are cared for in the present hospital, while over 1,000 are outside of hospitals. As to how they are kept and treated the public is more ignorant even than of their actual existence. Insane hospitals stand as among the best exponents of organized Christian charity. This great charity is turned over to the State, which by proxy accomplishes the requisite good without entailing individual discomfort. There is no charge put by the State constitution upon the Legislaure that should be carried out with more conscien tiousness. with greater judgment, and more consummate ability than the order given by the people thirty years ago, through the constitution, that the care of the insane should be obligatory on the part of the Leg islature. This has only been partially done; the establishment of new hospitals is a step to its consummation. It seems unnecessary that a State should have two insane asylum commissions, one with its duties prescribed largely by prece dent and another entirely a law unto them selves, and the two entirely disconnected with each other. The w’ork is a unit—the care and restoration of the insane; it needs but one board and one head. There are be tween six hundred and a thousam'. new cases to be provided for each year. Our insane neighbor has his rights and the sane have theirs. The insane should not be kept in private families. The strain breaks down the well; the sufferers are rarely rightly provided for. This social skele ton cannot be safely kept in the household. Duty is not met when it is immured in the county house, or even when the benevolent intentions of the people become systematized, hardened and crystalized into vast piles of masonry. The question, “Who is my neigh bor?” and the still earlier one, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” are not set aside when our insane are thrust into asylums, or our crimi nals imprisoned; they still come W'ithin the prescription that thou shalt love thy neigh bor as thyself. It is to be hoped that these two boards will act in unison, especially when it comes to the work of putting the new' hospitals into actual use, and determining their future work and sphere. The)' might hold joint meetings, make use of all past experience, and should, as we have no doubt they will, act wisely in view of the great trust thrust upon them. Except Mr. Tarleton, they are all new men to the business. They doubtless have much to learn and unlearn. Among the questions they will have to meet, are the relative merits of the so-called cottage system and the consolidated system of construction; whot class of inmates the new asylums are to receive; whether it is not better to make the present centrally-located buildings the home of the incurables, and the new asylums places for the treatment of acute cases which may recover. The* capacity of the present buildings can be easily und cheaply extended to 1,800 beds and patients under the present medical staff and management, a number equal to the present list of chronic cases. Vastly above the Spotless Prowess of which Kentucky boast3 is the conduct and benring of one of her citizens. If the story be true, and it seems highly probable, James fcizemore, of Clay county, that State, is a true hero. Some years ago a brother of his committed murder. But suspicion fell on James, and he was tried and convicted and sentenced to the peniten tiary for six years. He made no defense, knowing that his brother was the guilty party, and that to defend himself would Inevitably reveal the criminal. This he uid because his brother had a large family. A short time ago, the guilty brother died, but not until he had made a confession, and in such a manner that the truthfulness of the admissions could not be doubted. These facts coming to the knowledge of Governor Blackburn, a pardon w*as issued at once to the self-sacrificing man, and he was released. Such men and such deeds are rare. If Ken tucky would boast of her men and their prowess, let her point to James Sizemore, W’ho suffered unjustly in order to spare a guilty brother. Better be James Sizemore, with such a record, than to be “Little Phil” with the blood of a possibly innocent friend on his hands. If James Sizemore’s story be true, he has done much to lift Kentucky out of disrepute. _____________ GRIP, GRIT AND GUMPTION* Grip comes from Anglo-Saxon gripan. It means to grasp, to hold fast, strength in grasping. Not merely to take hold of, to take iu hand, but to lay hold of in earnest, with a vim as though you meant it. Grip doesn’t mean to take hold of a thing in a half hearted, dont-care-whether-school-keeps-or not kind of way. It doesn’t mean to take hold of a thing as a woman takes hold of a harmless, wiggling angle-worm—at arm’s length with the kitchen shovel, but rather the w r ay the small boy clutches His Wiggle ship as he turns him up from his earthly home preparatory to goin’ a fishin’; the way a woman lays hold of the coming states man when, showing respect for one of Solo mon’s most profound proverbs, in which a rod and a spoiled child figure prominently as leading characters in the cast—that’s grip. “The friends thou haßt, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel." That’s grip. The way you shake hands with a fraternity brother, that’s grip, or ought to be. The way you shake hands with a man, wherever you find him, be he fra ternity brother or not, that’s grip, or ought to be; for he is of all men most pitiable who limits his friendships by fraternity bounds. However, it is about as pleasant to shake hands with the tail of a dead catfish as with some people. Their grip is about as en thusiastic. Os course, this “grip-greeting” is not permissible with the female sex. It is not the custom of the land. Yet, as Mephis topheles remarks, “it does sometimes happen that w'ay.” At least, it is so said. Is there a duty to be done? Grip it. A lesson to be learned? Grip it. A task to be accomplished? Grip it. A life mission to be fulfilled? Grip it. Grip it earnestly, warmly, enthusiastically. Grit comes from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning dust, and probably the expression “a man with sand in his craw” comes col loquially to mean spirit, spunk, will power, resolution, determination. Without grit, grip is of little use. A man who has grip but no grit will not make a dazzling success of life. Grit is the staying qualities. The stick-to-it-iveness, hang-on-till-it-thunders, fight-it-out-on-this-line-if-it-takes-all-summer characteristic. Examples are many and illus trations profuse. There is an abund ance of room yet. however, for more of the same. Jacob furnishes an admirable ex ample of grit. He w’restled all night with a man, name unknow’n, until the breaking of the daj r It is not recorded whether they wrestled Gneco-Roman, collar and elbow’, or catcli as catch can. At any rate, Jacob dis played such skill and endurance that his antagonist prevailed not against him. Even after his thigh bone had been dislocated, with a display of grip unparalleled Jacob wrest led on until his fellow-wrestler, assigning the same cause of departure as w r as alleged by the ghost of the royal Dane, wished to call the match a draw. Although sadly dis abled, Jacob refused to accede to the pro position except on conditions of his own. When you nave gripped a task, have the grit to hang on till finished. Stay with it closely; stick to it adhesively; abide by it tena ciously. Gumption comes from the Anglo-Saxon word meaning to regard, thence through old English meaning to understand. Collo quially considered it means shrewdness, tact, common sense. Grip and grit are necessary, but alas for him who has no gumption to guide and direct them. A mulo has grip and grit, but is not overstocked with gumption. Although last in the trinity of grip, grit, and gumption, it is generally first in order of exercise. Gumption surveys intelligently one’s power and abilities, and tells a man what to grip and when and how to grip it. If a poker is to be lifted, gumption directs to take it by the end w'hich has been farthest from the fire. If a stone wall is in the way, gumption says go around or climb over, and not attempt to butt your way through it. If a hornet must be gripped, gumption teaches not to take it by the business end. If you do, that will boan end of the business. If you can’t get all you want, gumption instructs to take all you can get. When you have gripped a thing, and, despite your grit, the success of the undertaking is clearly impossible, gump tion hears it thunder, and you hang on no longer. When the task assigned you is un reasonable and beyond your abilities, gump tion brings to you unmistakable evidence that the summer is past, ami you are to fight it out on that line no longer, In short, gumption is the controlling power, the guiding principle, without which the forces of grip and grit work disaster. And now abideth grip, grit and gumption, these three, but the greatest of these is gumption. There is serious trouble in the Baptist Missionary Union. The union has its head quarters in Boston und has missionaries iu Europe, Asia and Africa. At various times during a number of years past the mission aries of the union in Buriuah have forwarded to the home office complaints of discrepau- THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY, MAY ISS, 1883. cies In the amounts paid them for salaries as compared with the sums charged against tho union. The contracts with the missionaries provide that their salaries shall be paid in gold or its equivalent; but the complaints allege that they are paid in depreciated East India silver, at a loss to the missionaries of not less than 10 per cent., and they wish to ascertain what becomes of the surplus. The correspondence on the question has been quite pointed, and the figures presented by the missionaries show a discrepancy of $53,- 000 in five years. The Baptist anniversaries take place at Saratoga, N. Y., the last week in this month, when the subject will be brought up for consideration. A half million spectators are expected to be piesent at the approaching coronation of the Czar of Russia. Among many other things upon the programme for the free en tertainment and amusement of the people, each guest will be furnished with two meat pies, candies, fruits, etc., and to intensify the hilarity of the occasion, an earthenware jug, bearing the stamp of the imperial eagle, will be added. This official stamp will entitle the bearer to have nis jug filled with beer, gratis, as often as he pleases, at the expense of the crown. It is not stated whether the coronation will take place before the distri bution of jugs or not; but it would seem to one in this country that it would be emi nently prudent to have the crowning busi ness disposed of before the distribution of jugs is made. Otherwise there might be dan ger of putting the crown on the wrong man. This, under all the circumstances, would be painfully embarrassing to the candidate for coronation, after having furnished the meat pies, jugs and beer. To have some swagger ing Cossack or disguised Nihilist to wear off the crown and receive the applause of this vast horde of fellows with meat pies and im perial jugs would be extremely annoying. From recent events in that country it would be safest to have the ceremonies to begin with the eating of the meat pies. Then, at some secret place about 500 miles away from the crowd, let the crown be put on, after ward the bestowal of the imperial jug and the drinking of royal beer, wliUe the Czar quietly finds his way within the casemaied castle of Peterhof. President Moss has issued a circular to county and city school superintendents and to high school principals and teachers in which he says that the State University is now fully recognized as a part of the public school system of the State. The endowment law, enacted by the last Legislature and now in force, commits the State to the worthy sup port of the University, and will seoure its ample establishment and equipment at no distant day. Thirty-eight high schools in the State are now commissioned as prepara tory schools, and from these are coming an increasing number of students, who are ad mitted to the freshman year. President Moss urges upon those to whom his circular is addressed the claims of the university', and asks them to bring to the knowledge of the pupils and the young people they can reach the value of it as the cap sheaf of the educa tional system of the State. An elderly bachelor of Philadelphia fell In love with a widow who did not reciprocate his affec tion aud spurned all matrimonial advances. One evening he made a friendly call upon her, iu company with u friend, aud in the course of a merry conversation proposed that a mock mar riage ceremony be performed, “just for fun." The widow, being in a sportive mood, consented, and standing up with the amatory bachelor, promised to love, honor and obey him, her facil ity in making proper responses being aided, no doubt, by former practice. Emboldened by the accomplishment of this great aot, the happy man screwed his courage up nnotlier notch, and told the. fair lady that lus friend who performed the ceremony was a justice of the peace in dis guise, and that instead of being a lonely relict, sbe was his own lawful and wedded wife. Then the widow took the tloor again, but this time there was no merriment in her tones nor smiles upon her face. In short, she made it so lively for the audacious husband that he thought a cyclone had struck him, and fled helplessly from tho house, glad to get away before the roof fell in. The next day ho visited a lawyer, to sec what could bo done about a divorce, saying that if what he bad experienced was a fair specimen of married life, he had had enough. Tho next time he marries lie will obtain the bride’s couseut be fore the ceremony takes pluce. William l>. Andrews Bro., of New York, are tile managers for the Green drive-well pat ent. In an interview concerning tho recent de cision iu lowu, one or the brothers expressed doubt of the correctness of the report, aud added: “It is incredible that such a decision should be given by a United States Court. It is so at vari ance with the well-established law. The parent tins been in litigation for ten years or more, and out of eight or ten decisions'rendered, this is iho first adverse one, if such derision really lias been given. Our proofs have been simply overwhelm ing. If such a decision really has been given, it seems fair to say that it is the result of purnic clamor; there is no law that could possibly jus tify such a decision. We nave numerous suits pending in this and of her States, and such a de cision will encourage the opposition. The cage will, of course, he curried to the Supremo Court, and the decision of the lowa Circuit Court will be reversed. United States Judges Benedict, Wheeler and Blatcllford, of this State; Nelson, of Minnesota; Dillon, of Minnesota und Iowa: Gresham, the present Postmaster-general, j id Nixon, of New Jersey, have already decided in our favor." _ The trustees of Columbia College, Dr. Dlx president, will not admit women into that insti tution, but have kindly consented to permit them to guther up such crumbs of learning ns the faculty may choose to throw to them upon the outside The young women can study where ever they choose, provided they do not choose to come inside the sacred walls. At proper intervals the professors will conduct examina tions and at tho end of the fourth year I lie stu dents will receive diplomas! No. That would be too much of u favor; but they wifi l>* gived Certifi cate* showing what subjects they have pursued aud with what success. The trustees, astonished at their own condescension end liberality, are surprised to notice that the privileges offered create no enthusiasm. among tl.:-* advocates of a higher education. A citizen of northeastern Georgia wants to form, not a confederacy, hut u little Kingdom up in his corner of the Srate. He proposes, by per mission of the Legislature, to incorporate the en tire region. the iucorporatora having the power to adopt their own constitution aud by-laws and to govern themselves accordingly. The object of this movement is to secure the right to ex terminate the dogs which infest that region and thereby protect tho sheep-growing interest. The idea is regarded as a great one in that locality, and is growiug in popularity. Should it be suc cessful, other sections of the country will be similarly incorporated, and dogs will soon have ho rights which any sheep is bound to respect. This soheme may prove to be the solution of a problem which has vexed the minds of rural statesmen for many years. A serifs of lectures upon “First Aid to the In jured" have been delivered to the policemen of Philadelphia by medioal men of the city with very beneficial results. Some of the oftioers, it is said, have become quite skillful in performing some of tho more simple surgical operations nec essary in cases of drowning or wounded per sons. Prizes have been offered to those who show the greatest profleienoy in giving aid to those who need it, and there is great competition among the men in perfecting themselves in methods of saving life. A Delaware fruit-grower is down upon mid dlemen and wants to do away with them in his line of business by starting a fruit exchange. His attention was called to the matter by fol lowing the fortunes of a lot of choice pears which be shipped to Philadelphia last season. Unknown to the agent in that oity he asked him the price per basket and was told “$5." Then he went to his hotel and ate one of bis pears at dinner, paying 50 cents for it. When the agent came to settle he paid the fruit-grower 50 cents a basket. The leading pupil in one of the Pittsburg schools is Lum Yam, a Celestial lad of fifteen years. By ourious good luck he is a favorite among his fairer fellows, and is doing nicely in his studies. When at play he is one of the fore most iu all kinds of fun. He wears American clothes, but still clings to his queue, which he keeps coiled about his head. Lucky Lum Yum. The Journal yesterday morning, by a mali cious typographical cantrip, calls Ruskin’s rural domicile, “Ruskin’s gambling house." A “gam brel house" (a binped-roof edifice) was meant. If this goes uucorrected, there may be a demand on the part of Eugland for the extradition of a proof-reader. Miss Girouard, the young lady at Montreal who became tired of convent life, lias received a dispensation from the Pope aud gone back to the world. Spring styles are very handsome this year. BREAKFAST CHAT. Gen. John W. Phelps, who ran for the presi dency iu 1880 on the anti-Masouic ticket, has just been getting married at tho age of seventy years. The daughter of the Dean of St. Paul’s was married in his cathedral lately to a son of Sir James Paget, the famous surgeon. It was the second marriage performed there in 125 years. The sixteen daughters of a ?laryland ex-con gressman have the reputation of being the hundsomest ladies in the State. One or them —the first of the sixteen was married last week. After mature consideration Kaiser Wilhelm has conoluded that the youngest of his nephews, Prince Albrecht, is the least promising sprig of the royal family, and has designated him to at tend the Czar’s coronation. Peck, of the Milwaukee Sun, who has leaped into wealth and a certain kind of fame by his writings, is said to receive a larger yearly in come from his newspaper work than Emerson realized during his entire life. J. W. 8. Arnold, the noted physiologist, has become a resident of Thomasville, Ga., where he has a $30,000 laboratory. Some of the wonder ing natives say that he “spends two weeks studying a frog’s foot through a microscope." George W. Cable says that J ulian Hawthorne is one of the handsomest men he ever saw in his life. He is very tall and has a delightful Bo hemian look about him. aggravated perhaps by a brown velvet smoking coat he is fond of wear ing. “If not oalled for in ten days, return to H. H.

Miss Anna Dickinson is now in New York, the guest of Mrs. Croly. Miss Dickiuson is in unusu ally good health, and is about entering on a course of reading from her drama; “Aurelian," aud from a dramatic lecture on “Jeanne D’Arc." She will be heard In a number of the Eastern cities during tho spring. Frank Btdrges, of Chicago, recently sent a large number of live prairie ohickeus to a friend in England. Twenty of the chickens were pre sented to the Queen for the Balmoral grounds, and twenty to the Pnnoe of Wales for Saudriug haiu, while several others were turned loose on the Welsh hills, near Neath. A Pittsburg girl, who had refused a good looking telegraph-repair man three times within six months, gave as a reason that he was too much of a wanderer. That he wandered from pole to pole, from one climb to another, and that if he did oome home he’d be insulate that the neighbors would be sure to talk. Mr. Gladstone lias received notice of the in tention of the workingmen of Derby to pre sent him with a dessert service of Derby china, which has been specially manufactured. Each piece has a hand-painted representation of some famous scene in Derbyshire. Tho Pre mier, as every one knows, is a connoisseur iu china. Mil Talbott, ex-Governor of Massachusetts, is said to be nursing his wrath against. Mr. But ler, Governor, to keep it warm. Recently Mr. Talbott met Mr. Butler at a social gathering where dancing ruled the hour, and, desiring to keep up the conversation, remarked: “You don't dance, General!" “No," was the quick reply, “I make other people dance."

The Paris Louvre has been presented with Eugene Delacroix’s Inure painting of the “Ship wreck of Don Juan," for which £12,000 were of fered some years ago. The pioture is taken from tne second canto of Byron’s poem, and repre sents a dismasted boat tossing on a tempestuous ee:i, while the starving occupants are drawing lots to decide who shall die to satisfy the others’ hunger. At the opening of the Johns Hopkins Laborato ry, at Baltimore, Professor Kamsen laid down the doctrine that the study of cheqiisUy is as braciug for the morals ns for the mind. “I be lieve," lie said, “Hint frequent practice in quali tative and quantitative analysis has a tendency to develop honesty," The American suggests that It might be well for banks to require their cashiers to take a preliminary course in chem istry.

Underground Telegraph Exhibition. Chicago, May 11.—The councils, fire alarm committee, and other olfiolais of Philadelphia, together with a number of gentlemen from New York, Cleveland and other cities, this afternoon, witnessed an exhibition of the conduit system of underground telegraphy, given by the Chi cago Electric and Underground Conduit Com pany. Morse and telephone wires were placed in one mile and a quarter of con duit, and signals exchanged over phone wires without any perceptible Interference in the way of induction from the Morse currents. The conduits were built of iron, and contaiu cop per wire shelves, over whioh insulated conduct ors are drawn by means of carriers worked from the manholes at each street crossing. The new harmonic system was also laid in the conduit and put in operation during the exhibition with out causing interruption. The Cherokee Legislature iu Session at Tah lequali, I. T. Bt.

The Cherokee Indian Counoll is still in session at Tuhlequnb, hut not making much progress. Several hills were introduced hut no definite ac tion yet taken.

THE IRISH AGITATION. A Talk with Judge Lochrane, of Georgia-* Severe Criticism of the Philadelphia Convention. Gath’s New York Letter. I have had an Interesting interview with a na** tive Irisman on the Irish question—Judge Loot* rane, of Georgia—which will bear reading. Ha has probably reached the highest position of any Dative Irishman in the United States—Chief Justice of the Empire State of the South. Ha came from Ireland at the age of eighteen, and was a clerk in a drug store at Athens, Ga., till his publio speaking at the university there at tracted the attention of the bar to him. He became a lawyer, and filled many offices in tho State, and is now a man of large acquaintance and general prosperity. I asKed him if lie had read the proceedings of tho Philadelphia convention, and he responded: “Yes, and I admired the power of silence they portrayed. It had the flavor of the recluse. But I would have admired more the courage of lead ership that dared offend Trlsh prejudices by openly denouncing inhuman atrocities and mean and cowardly assassinations, and not by pur posed silence have become the apologist for crimes that have disgraced the age and rendered the very name of Irishman a reproach. The re* suit in the end will be to create a stronger sent!* ment of American nationality, that will not tolerate the outrage of foreigners coming hereto hatch treasons and foment wars against nation* with which we are at peace. Such gentry may indulge in high-flown speeches and say they represent the whole Irish race on this continent; they may dig, like Old Mortality, among the tombs to parade old wrongs, musty and worn out, with allusions to Mullagumaati and the treacheries of Essex as apologies for present outrages on God and man, and forty priests hold their hands over it, as they say there were at Philadelphia; but I tell you that the heart of the country has been beating fast with hotter blood of nationality at the outrage, and the American mind has been thinking how to handle it. The idea of invoking American sympathy by referring to Irish paupers landed here deceived nobody. The Irish Parliament of Philadelphia means that such pien arc needed for desperate work in Ireland, or tne Parliament is hut a parade of emptiness, and void The gentry who were leaders at Philadelphia know well the powers of the deceit and sedition of the aßh oorner; and this is not the time to improve conditions by emigration. They want the poor Irish to do at home what the contented Irish abroad are too careful of their precious persons to accomplish so far from their adopted homes.” “Do you think that there nre Irish in this country opposed to the Philadelphia parliamen tary proceedings!" “Why, of course. Thousands of Irishmen in this country are utterly opposed to making Anierioa the hot-bed of conspiracies by any na tionality of people, and will resist the principle of fostering secret societies and gathering money to buy arms to Bend luto other countries and raise up wars and stir up bloodshed to upset governments- Whether it comes from the Irish or the Dutch or the Nihilist—from whatever source it conics—the American people will not sit idly bi T and have this country plunged into war, aud our commerce and prosperity hurled back a quarter of a coutury by foreign parlia ments and tueir abettors and backers and apolo gists for high crimes. I remember when, after the late war, Mr. O’Mahoney, on the platform of Cooper Institute, invited my aid to Fenlanism, and 1 told him: ‘I am just out of one war, and if 1 have nothing better than the blood and desola tion of a rebellion to give my friends iu Ireland I will not cover the country with crape and poverty by giving them that.’ But the idea of using this country by for eign revolutionists to hatch out plots iu will not bo tolerated. American honor is higher than party, and the party that thinks foreign votes are more worth to this country than the peace and prosperity of our people will soon shrivel and roll up in the heat of public indignation." “Well, what party do you think will come out bold enough to deuounoe this abuse of our flag and country by foreign plotters!" “I say only this: That if the Democratic party comes out for ir, down tumbles the fabric in front of an aroused sense of American nation ality, and if the Republicans pander to it, it will fall like Csesar at Pompey’s pillar, hacked to pieces." “You do not, then, believe the present move ment in lrelaud will succeed!" “It will succeed in filling jails, and building scaffolds, and turning back Irish prosperity for a quarter of a century. Poor Ireland! How often has she been the viotiw of unwise coun sels! No country could sustain itself ou the theory of destroying landed proprietorship. To fiay no rent is a principle of plunder, like out aws on a train refusing to pay fare. If wo waut honesty here we must not foster dishonesty abroad. An Irish land-owner In Belfast or Dub lin has just as much right to hi* rent as the land lord In New York or Han Franoisco, and tho oontrary doctrine will some day convulse this Country. We may play with the liou before his teeth are grown, hut when we sow dragoons’ teeth we may look for a orop of armed men. I oppose the prinoipie, because in the end it will destroy all the integrities of oontraot relations, and the result in Ireland will be disastrous. The lives of nations are kept up by eternal principles ot justice. When the rule is reversed the country will totter to its ruin. The agitations in Ireland that have swept over and over hor during the last, thirty years have only been like so many waves of fire, that left blackened roof-trees in their track." “But is not the eviction of tenant* harsh and oppressive!” “All processes of law to enforce rights are harsh. The sheriff does not come with a gloved hand to levy on property to pay debts, and the voice of the auctioneer who sella the homestead under mortgage is never musical. But it is Just as bad here as in Ireland. I recolleot seeing in the Chicago Tribune one morning that its chief. Mr. Medlll, had been elected vice-president of the Land League, and the. next morning tile columns of the same paper showed where a poor woman aud her children were evicted into the streets. The poor Irl*h widow in New York or Chicago feels the hand of tho law just as harsh as does the widow of Balia. I hope, after this unfortunate sequel to Fenlanism lias been ended, that we will have a reign of prosperity and peace in Ire land, and the nrts of industry may add to the glory of tho country. Ireland has been kept poor by political agitators that have scared off capital, and leaves to-day the Shannon to roll to tho sea without moving a mill-wheel or wafting a sail. God scml Ireland peace, not war; prosperity, not desolation!" Not Fit Guides for Catholics. Cleveland Catholic Uulver*o. Professional agitators, traders in American politics, self-interested Journalist*, a handful of inflamed clerics, and the Irish secret societies, do not and cannot represent either the views, building capacity or life-work of the Ameri cans of Irish descent in this network of repub lics. Are, then, such men as Mr. Foran, who claim* to be a Catholic, and yet remains an Odd fellow; as Colonel Boland, who last year declared from a public, platform Ills readiness to “cut down the Pope of Rome aud trample on his carcass;" as Flnerty, the revller of Catholic constituted au thority; a* Powderly, the Socialistic agitator— are they fit guides for Catholic men, fit exem plars for our youth? Can God have chosen such agencies to lead a Catholic nation out of the land of Egypt!—and “unless the Lord OuhU eboliouso, they lubor iu vain that build it." Mr. Pulitzer’s Paper. Interview in New York Tribune. “Ye*.” he sain, “I have purchased the papof and will take charge, of it at 9 a. m. to-morrow, I intend to make it a thorough American news paper—to un-Angliclzo it, so to speak. It will continue to be Democratic, but it will no longer be an advocate of free trade. I am not an ex treme protectionist,joor am I orazy on the sub ject of free trade." “Will Mr. Hurlbertgo abroad for the World!" “He will not. His connection with the paper has conaed. If be Is to review Mr. Porter’s work, it is something of which L have no knowledge." The Drive-Well Sharks. Michigan City Knterprif. The drive-well sharks have, within tho last day or two, sustained a defeat in tho Supremo Courts of lowa and Minnesota. As the evidence at hand in Indiana in many points 1* much stronger than that produced in the court in lowa, it is thought when tho case comes up in the courts of this State that Mr, Green pu l his wicked scheme will be severely Sat down upon. _ About (he American Revolution, Kpjringlhdd (Mash.)

ANOTHER VICTORY. The Indianapolis Club Defeats the lj\ckeyes 5 to 2. The Indianapolis and Buckeye base-ball clubs, Ihe latter of Columbus, 0., played a game on the borne grounds, yesterday afternoon, the result being 5t02 in favor of the Indianapolis. There wrere probably 800 people iu attendance, and the contest proved unusually interesting, both Dlubs playing in pretty good form, aud two or three really brilliant plays being made. Peltz made two remarkably fine catches of very diffi cult flies in left field, and Cliftou made a phe nomenal catch of a line ball. Dundin and Ryn, the deaf mute pi rcher and catcher of the visit ing olub, did very good work. The Indianapolis club made three of their runs in the fourth in ning by an overthrow by Cox. The only earned run was made by Murphy io the second inning on hits by Murphy, Donnelly and Cliftou. The game clubs play again to-day, game to be called at 4 o’clock, and a good game may be expected.

AMUSEMENTS, GRAND OPERA-HOUBE—“FRA DIAVOLO.” Mr. William Castle, of the Abbott company, and the Indianapolis Opera Company gave a very creditable presentation of Auber’s tuneful opera, “Fra Diavolo,” at the Grand Opera-house last night, the audience being large and fashion able, and altogether generous In the matter of applause and flowers. Os the general features of the performance it can bo said that it was given smoothly and evenly, with but few mis haps, and those of a minor character. As is gen erally the case with performances given by others than professionals, the music was rendered with better spirit and effect tliap the dramatic por tion of the composition, mid to Pro fessor Burns’s excellent judgment and careful and patient training this was greatly due. He is a musical director of fine abilities, a fact that is established by the excel lent operatic performances recently given by amateurs who were under his guidance. In the oast of “Fra Diavolo” Mr. Castle, who has al ways been a favorite here, was, of course, the central figure. His flue srage presence, natural cleverness and excellent dramatio methods have made him one of the most accomplished lyric ar tists before the public. His voice, although a little worn, is still sweet, and his use of it is piost admirable. His barcarole in the first act. ana aria lu the second, were both encored, and in the oonccrted numbers his voice was heard to niuoh advantage. The cast other- Slse was quite satisfactory. Mr. Sidnev eade sang the part of Lorenzo nicely, but Ids acting was somewhat spiritless aud weak. Mr. C. B. Foster, W. De M. Hooper and Harry Haokett, in character parts, were clever, the first named especially so. Mrs. Enrique C. Miller was the Zerlina, and sang with her usual sweetness. Mrs. Leou Bailey, aside from Mr. Castle, gave decidedly the best individual per formance in the cast. Bhe 1s an accomplished actress in many respects, and her voice is an ex cellent oue for opera, As has already been indloated the choruses were one of the chief at tractions of the opera, as they were given with muoh spirit, and the excellent orchestration also deserves special mention. The first act moved somewhat slowly, but the second and third were given better, and tlie chamber scene was done with delicacy and discrimination, although the curiosity of two or throe of the chorus singers, wno peeped in at the window, marred tho effect somewtiut. The performance will be repeated this afternoou and evening, and will well repay attendance. NOTES. Robson Crane are underlined at the Grand for the evening of the 23d. John Hazelrigg, who has been the leading man of the Bertha Welby combination, is home for the summer. Ida Siddons’s Female Mastodon Minstrels will be at the Park the last- three nights of next week. The “spit rows” are already engaged. The announcements for the Zoo next week are Castle’s Celebrities, an excellent specialty com pany, aud McCarty and Monroe’s “Muldoon’s Picnic” combination, which also has a good reputation. “The Naiad Queen” will be reproduced at the Grand next Tuesday night and during the re mainder of the week, in gorgeous style and with ttio original east. Tho sale of seats will begin this morning. Mr. Frank Durand, representing Baroum’s big show, which is here the 20th iust., is In town. The Bariium show this year is the largest and beat that ever traveled, aud lias many new and original features. The attoodauce here, will, of course, exhaust the capacity of the tents. Three of the male members of Catherine Lewis's Comic Opera Company—Messrs. Len nox, Nash and Ricketts—failed to appear at the performance last night in Chicago, owing, ns it, is alleged, to the non-payment of back salaries The management explains that owing to tho ex travagance of Mr. Arfwedson, husband of Miss I-owis, whom she dismissed in New York a few weeks ago, she left the metropolis heavily iu debt, but hud nearly succeeded in wiping it out when the present incident occurred. Tho per formance will proceed with the aid or minor men of the troupe. The Adoption of New Text-Rooks In un opinion relative to the change of text books, the Superintendent of Public Instruction says: “While there seems to lie no law directly prohibiting a county board from making an adoption of text-books to take effeofc six months or a year in the future, on the expiration of a previous adoption, yeti think such action would ne highly objectionable and certainly contrary to the Intention of the law. Tho composition of the county board might be entirely changed be fore the end of six months, or, if not changed, circumstances might nave arisen that would make a change of policy desirable Indeed, I seriously doubt ihe binding force of an adoption of books before the necessity for it has arisen; that is before the expiration of the previous adoption.” Why Female Students Are Not Wanted. In the proceedings of the Indiana state Med ioftl Society in the discussion following the read ing of Dr. Mary F. Thomas’s paper there was an unintentional omission of Dr. Churlon IV Pear son’s defense of the Otitral College or Phisi oiaus and Surgeons from the charge of hostility to the medical education of women made by her against, the two Indianapolis colleges. Tho Doc tor explained that tboro was no such hostility so far ns the Central College was concerned, nor any desire to debar women, except us a pure nmttor of husinoss. If the college received women students It would have to close its doors, as It would lose men students. There aro col* logos for the medical education of women In iChloago, in Ann Arbor, Now York, Philadelphia and other places, and to thoso places wounm should go. There aro few women in Indiana who desire a medical education, and to tiirow away i the many male students for those few would ue oxtravagaut folly. Work of the Liquor League. A member of the Indiana Liquor League gives the following statement of its political work in this State during and since the last campaign. “Our expressed purpose was to elect repre -1 sentatives and senators who were anti-subiniss lonists. In canvassing the State we found some Democratic candidates iiupronounoed for cither side of tho issue, and we secured almost all of the doubtful ones by filling their campaign purs es. We readily saw that the Democrats could easily control the lower house, and then we bent our energies toward controlling the Senate. There were grave doubts as to our ability to do this, and you can imagine that we did not stand upon the question of using our fund. In several senatorial districts we placed in the hands of the Democratic candidates $1,500 each to defray campaign expenses, and iu their acceptance of the same it was positively understood that they would vote to kill the amendments. Just before the eleotion we received calls from certain quar ters, aud did not hesitate to supply the second demand for money, although we regarded these modest requests somewhat suspiciously. After the election we should have felt confident enough to rest upon our oars, but our acquaint ance with the members-elect had not been pro uiotive of confidence. In the Legislature we had almost as hard work as iu the oatnoaigu—espe cially so iu the Seriate. Some of the senators exhibited an inclination to cast their promises to the winds, and persisted in keeping us in doubt as to their votes. But we brought them around, aud it was money that did it.” The Case of Marcellus Dawson. Marcellus Dawson, of Broad Hippie, is trying to get a license from the Circuit Court to sell liquor, the case being appealed from the county commissioners. During his oross examination, yesterday, Mr. Dawson testified that some time ago, when indictments were pending against him, he agreed with the prosecuting attorney that he would quit the business if they were nollied, which was accordingly done. Dawson then loaded all his merchandise on a wagon and brought it to the city, and that night he took back his stock and resumed business at the old staud the next morning. He says he promised to quit the business, but did not promise how long he “would stay quit.” The Graham Inquest. The coroner yesterday begun an inquest con cerning the death of K. L. Graham, who com mitted suicide Thursday. Johu Brickley testified that he saw the deceased at the Spencer House barber-shop In the afternoou. He was then cry ing, and said he was going to kill himself, and took a bottle from his pocket marked “mor phia,” and from there went into the saloou, where ho took the poison. A Proposed Work-House. The county commissioners have about decided to build a work-liouse, and an effort will be made to get the city to join with the county in this undertaking. It is proposed to utilize ten acres of land owned by the county, east of Woodruff Place, for this purpose, and it Is believed that the institution cau be made self-sustaining, and save what is now a great expense in caring for minor criminals. Appointments at the Insane Hospital. At a meeting of the trustees of the Insane Hos pital, held at the institution on Thursday night, Jerry 3. Hall, of Crawford county, was appointed storekeeper, to succeed Captain Stansberry, aud Dr. Thomas L. Foulas, of this city, was ap pointed to Dr. Brown’s position as physician for tho female department. Locating tho Asylums. The Governor and the insane hospital commis sioners start, Monday, to visit Fort Wayne, War saw, Elkhart aud South Bend, for the purpose of viewing the sites proposed for the location of the hospitals for the incurably insane. Prompt Settlement of Insurance Losses The stove foundry tire entailed considerable loss on the insurance companies. The Hanover, of New York, lost $2,500 on tho stove works and the Citizens’, of St. Louis, lost $1,"00. The loss of the Union, of California, on the Allegheny House is SI,OOO, The Royal, of Liverpool, lost SI,BOO on the two houses of Patrick Couion. All these companies are in the agency of Cleave land Adams, of 29*4 North Pennsylvania street, who are noted for their prompt settle ment of claims. In consequenoe tlie Royal has already settled its loss of SI,BOO, and the other ootnpames will pay to-day or on Monday. The Allegheny House is owned by tho Thames Loan and Trust Company.

It is conceded that the parol trust cannot be enforced, but the question is whether it can be proved, for the purpose of'showing t hat it lias been executed, und whether the separate deed of a married woman in execution of such trust is valid. Tbe statute of frauds does not render such a contract illegal, and the parties mav per form it if they choose. (4 Denio, 51; 13 Pick., 4.) And whether bucli a trust exisrs may be shown for the purpose of showing that It. has been exe cuted. (1 Perry, Trusts, 377; 35 N. J. L., 290 The. wife took t lie title in trust for her husband, and a trust estate is not liable for the debts of the trustee, nor of those who represent him by inheritance. *59 Ind., 542.) The rule that a wife cannot convey her lauds, except her husband joinp, does not apply to lands held by her in trust. As to these, she lias the same capacity as IT she were sole. (Perry, Trusts, sec. 48.) The huHoand, being the “cestui quo trust,” could not have been required to loin iu the deed, and therefore the deed of the wife, was a sufficient execution ol the trust. (Perry supra., sec. 352.) The title was, therefore, not iu the wire at her death. Judgment reversed. REFERENCE TO MASTER COMMISSIONER —PRAC- TICE. 10,360. Madison Lee vs. Btatc, ex r&l. Tem pleton. Hamilton C. C. Bicknell, C.—Where the order of rofcrenceto a ruasier commissioner requires him to m ike a finding, lie is, In legal effect, a general referee anil most, make a final repor t on which the court uiust render judgment. (58 Ind., 406 His re port becomes a part of tu* record, without, bill of exceptions. (82 led., 463.) Under such a reference the master is not authorized to report the evidence. (19 Ind., 185: 61 id., 162.) The only way to get. the facts oefore the court is to require the facts and conclusions of law to be separately reported by the master. The court may include interest from the time of the report until judgment, hut cannot, as was done in this ease, render judgment for a sum greater than that reported. Upon questions arising at the hearing before the master :is to admission or exclusion of evidence, etc., objection must be taken before him and made part or the record by bill of except ion* signed by him or by his statement In his repor t. (12 Ind.. 276; 37 id., 89.) A copy of the evidence, certified by tile offi cial reporter who took it, is not sufficient with out the authentication of the master. The suit was on the bond of an administrator, ond the court added the 10 per cenr. penalty to the amount found by the commission. This was error, but if the amount so added be remitted by the appellee the judgment will he affirmed. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE —JUDICIAL SALE. 9,830. Elisha btraughau vs. Mary White. Hendricks C. C. Morris, C. The question presented is whether tlie enforcement of a contract to convey real estate is a judicial sale within the meaning of the net of 1875. Such a pro ceeding is destitute of every' element of a ju dicial sale. Bueh a sale is founded on the judg ment and decree of the court; the prices aud conditions an*, determined by the court and iu sales strictly judicial they must be confirmed by the court. In this ease White, being the owner of the laud, subject only to the contingent right of his wife to one-third in fee iu case she should survive him, had a right to contract to sell and convey this precise interest to appellant. This he did and his deed would have passed such in terest. The object of the proceeding for specific performance was to compel a transfer pursuant to the terms of the original contract and the deed made by tue commissioner of the court had the same effect a* the deed of White would have had. While the act of 1875 is to he liberally con strued, neither its words nor spirit give to a married woman a vested interest in the lands or her husband during his life unless his title lias passed from him and vested iu another by judicial sale. Judgment reversed. SUPREME COURT, MAY 11. CITIES —INJURIES CAUSDD BY COASTERS. 8,015. City of Lafayette vs. Sarah A. Timber lake. Tippecanoe S. C. Elliott, J.—The principle of this case is the same as that declared in Faulkner vs. Aurora. The adjudged cas. sconcur In holding that mu nicipal corporations are not liable for a failure to exercise governmental powers. They are not liable for failure to provide appliances for extinguishing tires, or to supply adequate police foroe, nor to enforce the statures id the Htate or tlie by-laws of the corporation, or to undertake a municipal work, such as supmyiug a system of drainage. (Dillon Mun, Corp., sec. 754; 52 Ind., 547: 32 N, Y., 489.) Unless it. can be held that a city bound to prevent persons from using its streets in violation or its by-iaWR it cannot im held responsible for injuries caused by coasters. The const ruction and maintenance of a street in a sate condition for travel corporate duty, and for a breach there.oi an action will he. But making and en forcing ordinances regulating the uso of streets brings into exercise governmental and not corporate powers. The police officers of a city are not its agents or ser vams, aud it is not re sponsible for their negligence. (Dill Man. Corp.. §975.) Judgment reversed. 8,936. City of Lafayette vs. George Hose. Tippecanoe C. C. Elliott, J. Tins case Is reversed upon the authority of the cast's of Faulkner vs. Aurora, and Lafayette vs. Timberluke, supra. LIFE INSURANCE—WAIVER OF FORFEITURE. 10,238. Excelsior Mutual Aid Association vs. Viola V. Kindle. Madison C. C. Howk, J.—Suit against appellant to recover on a policy of iusmance on the life of appellee’s father. Where the suit is upon a written contract for money shown to be due thereon it is not necessary to aver a demand before suit. (61 Ind., 187 Appellant answered that in Ills applica tion for insurance the insured had falsely an swered certain questions, and to this the plain tiff replied that appellant. with knowledge of the facts stated in the answer, made assessments under the contract of insurance and collected the same. This reply was good. The matters alleged iu the answer si in ply rendered the con tract voidable at the election of the appellant, audit was competent for it to waive the forfeiture and continue the contract of insurance in force.

An Entire Change in the Directory—Ex pected Innovations. Ntw York. May 11. —The Commercial Adver tiser aaye: “At tlie animal meeting of the New Jersey Central stockholders to-day the Garrett- Gowen Interest voted upon $11,500,000 out of $81,500,000 stock, so, of course, all question as to the lease la ■removed. The board of directors as now standing is: Franklin 15. Gowen, 12. 0. Knight, Sidney Shepard, Robert Garrott, Sutnuel Btern. Theodore Randolph, John Kean, Henry 6. Little, J. Kennedy. The directory of the Jer sey Central is completely changed. One of the very first innovations will be an attempt to change the present agreement between ilie Long Branch road and the Pennsylvania. The ar rangement was mudo by Judge Lathrop just lie fore he died. It has not been satisfactory to the Now Jersey Central neople, and Gowen, it is said, has pledged hlinso f to look into the mat ter, and if the contract can be broken, it will be. The Pennsylvania coin pnay generally makes bar gains in such a way that they can’t be broken unless by the Pennsylvania railroad. At nil •vents, the Long Branch road promises to open as a gentle skirmish the now uerrennial war that shortly will lie instituted bet ween the new com bination trunk-line nnd tjie Pennsylvania rail road. Little will he re-elected president of the Central, and it is believed that Gowen’s friends are talking of having bis salary raised from 8118,000 to $50,000 a year. The board of direct ors submitted a stateniement of earnings under the receiver for the calendar year ending Deo. 31, 1882. as follows: gross earnings, AT1,312,296; increase, $348,702; net earnings, $5,001,071; increase, $68,430.” CENTRAL PACIFIC STOCK. A Hanker Seeks to Recover the Difference Between the Highest Price and Ills Own. Nkw York, May 11.—The suit of David Stew art, bunker, against Colds P. Huntington nnd others was brought to trial to-day In the Supreme Court. When the Central Pacific railroad of California was first started, it is alleged that Huntington induced the plaintiff to purchase 200 shares of the stock of the company April 21, 1870. These shares were sold to Hunting ton for their par value, with interest at the rate of 7 per cent, from 1867. Stewart avers that Huntington, for himself and three other capital ists in California, agreed that if he or they should pay any more for other stock than they bad paid him for his, then they would make up the difference with him. Stewart alleges that Huntington and others did pay even as high as SSOO a share for other stock, and lie claims that he is entitled to the difference between that juice nnd $139 per share paid for his stock. Tim amount Stewart seeks to recover is $76,000, with interest from April 21, 1870. Huntiugfon •avs he acted alone with Stewart on his own be half and responsibility, and that afterward, when Stewart said aome other person had been paid a large sum for their stock, he denied thin, and said if he did pay any more to other per sons he would also pay the increased price to Stewart. He declares that uo contract or agree ment was entered luto, and he paid uo person more than $139 per share. TROUBLE BREWING. Some Fifteen Engineers on the Bee Line System Retire. On Inquiry, It is learned that on the Hee Line system, within the last twenty duys, some fifteen of the oldest aud best engineers, each boidiug certificates as being flrst-olass engineers, have been discharged. This led to further in quiry as to the cause, aud from one of the engin eers still on the road it is learned that the pay of engineers on the Bee Line system Is graded, basing the pay on the qualifications of the engineer. Engineers of the first class get 80 cents more per day than those in the scoond class, and $1.60 more than those in the third claw*, these grades only applying to freight engineers—and, to make the story short, business has been a little slow over the road of late, and it was necessary to cur, down the quota of en gineers on each division, and Master Mechanic Tnrreff, it is stated, said to these old faithful and tried engineers, some of them of 25 years experience. **\Y'e would like to have you stay on the road, but hereafter, if you do, your pay will be the same as that of the second-class engineers.” Naturally these first-class engineers say|“no, sir,” and, of course, thereby are virtually discharged, and the engineers of the second class take the discharged engineer* places, hut do nor get the same pay as did the first-class engineers: or, in other words, the railroad com pany! 18 ahead 80 far as wages are concerned, eighty cents per day on each second-class en gineer who takes an engine of the retiring en gineers. Whether the company will be ahead in the end is yet to be seen, as already they have had au expensive head collision, and on the footboards oT both engienes were second-class engineers, ns they are known. The mailer is said to be creating quite a stir in the ranks of the Locomotive Brotnerhood, and it is highly probable that the grand chief engineer of. the Locomotive Brotherhood will be called upou to investigate. THE NEW TRUNK LINE. Rapid Progress of Construction on the New York, West Shore Buffalo. President Winslow and other officials of bte New York, West Shore Buffalo road have just made an Inspection trip over a portion of the dne. The gentlemen were well pleased with the condition of the work. The bad weather has de layed the ballasting of the tracks, but there are very large forces engaged in this work, and it will soon be finished. General Winslow states that there are thirty construction tralus on the track, hauling ballast and finishing the road between Syracuse and New York. It is expected that the line will Im* open for regular business to Al bany and Syracuse by the middle of June. The bridge over Rotidour creek is now nearly com pleted. it is over 1,209 feet long and about 150 feet from the water, and it is one of the most Imposing and substantial structures on the line. The cost of material and erection will he over $300,000. In regard to the completion of this road and the opening of t-he line for business, for which so in any dates have been given from time to time, Mr. Monetf, the general passenger agent, now states that every effort will be made to open the line from New York to Syraeuso by Juno 15 next; ami lie says it may he staled con fidently that the road will ho iu full operation by July 1 between tin so points. GENERAL NEWS. The V. A. to Open for Through Business on the 15 th. T. A. Lewis, western manager of the Erie fast freight lines, returned from Chicago last even ing, and from him It is learned that arrange men is havo boon made to open the Chlongo 6c Atlantic road on the 15th for through passenger and freight business. The Grout Western Dis patch, which has been making but little noiso of late, will operate over that road.

O. The distance is thirty-three muon, u.iil tbo piece of road is operated over Jointly by the B. O. and the Pittsburg, Cinciu* nut.l St. Loom companies. The B. 6c O. use it only as their Columbus branch. By tiie new ar rangement the 1., B. W. connects with the B. A O. main line and one change of cars at Colum bus is avoided. Toe P.. C. A st. L. people are re ported to be considerably dtstured over this new deal, but are iu u position that objecting will Uo them uo good. New Railroad Construction. PORTLAKp, Ore., May 11.—-The track of the Missoula division of the Northern Pacific reached the 376th mile yesterday, 590 miles east of Port land. It is expected tiiat the western division will reach Missoula, and tho eastern end Hel ena, bv the middle of June. The company wtll then issue through tickets from Portland to St. Paul, for $l2O, including 126 miles of staging. The Oregon A California railroad announces to-dny that tiie California extension is opened to Glendale, sixty-livo miles south of Uoseburg, Oregon. Differentia! Fares. Nkw York, May 11. -The general passenger agents of the trunk lines composing the joint executive committee, met again to-day. Tho first business taken up was the adjustment of differential faros under the award of percentages on Thursday. These awards were, upon business between old differential faro points alone. No new points have, as yet, been established in the extended territory west of Chicago and St. Louis, although tlmm at ter has been discussed several times. New schedule rates will go iuto effect May 15. Miscellaneous Notes. The exact capital of tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company when the books closed for tiie semi-au uual dividend was $86,752,250. An officer of tho Texas Pacific company states that the New Orleans division of tho road was the best earning portion of the line. Tim track of the Atlantic 6t Pacific Company Is within twenty-six miles of the point of junction with the Southern Pacific Colorado river. ft is stated that the plan of leasing the Jersey Central to the Heading provides also for a per petual contract with the Baltimore Ohio Raii road Company. The Lehigh Coal nnd Navigation Company will not interpose any opposition to the consumma tion of the lease of the Central railway of New Jersey by the Reading railroad. Details of the lease of the Ohio Central coal nnd railroad property in Ohio to the Columbus, Hooking Valley Toledo Company have been arranged. The lease takes effect July 1. Cat rates from Louisville to Chicago on either the J., AI. F., L N. A. A C., and O. M. roads are $2. Rates for the round trip, $7 Thera is no indication of weakening on the part of any of the roads. Tiie New York, Susquehanna Western com pany lms made a contract with tiie Pennsyl vania railroad to haul Pennsylvania trains over **ight miles of its Hue to reach tho West Shore 6c Burt aln road. The officers of tiie Pennsylvania Railroad Company say Mu re is no prospect of a disturb ance in the trunk line pool from the cutting of freight rates by the Lackawanna und Nickel plate or any other road. Tiie New York railroad commission Is making itself ponular with both railroad men and ship pers, 8“ Just are their decisions of questions pre sented to them tor settlement. Honest and com petent railroad commissioners are never harm ful, but just the reverse. M. J. Rogers, master mechanic of the Georgia division of tiie East Teuaessee. Virginia *fe Geor gia road, formerly master inerhanio of tho P.,0. A St. L at this point, sends the Journal tue per formances of locomotives on that division in tiie month of March.

Hhroy, late private secretary of 8. W. Burrows, superintendent of the Indianapolis A bt. Lotus road, nut accepted a similar position under J. H Parsons, superiutenrientof the west ern division of the Chicago Atlantic road. Local Notes. Fully 25 per cent, of the ears now moving over the through lines are empty. Paymaster Irwin, of the Joftersonvillo, Mad ison 6c Indianapolis road, yesterday paid on the main line for April service. One of the objections made by master mechan ics to ‘‘Consol” engines is that they are such ponderous fellows. In ordinary shops they have not the facilities to ropuir thorn. For a road partially opened for business, the Chicago indiauapolis Air line certainly is do ing finely. On Thursday afternoon two freight trains, hauling forty-three loaded curs, came in from tho north. Engine No. 349 on the Indianapolis division of the Pennsylvania lines, in tho month of M irch ran 5,953 miles, and No. 194 ran 4.869 miles—the largest mileage made by any engines on the sys tem west of Pittsburg. Vice-president McCullough, of the Pennsyl vania lines west of Pittsburg, tells K istcrn par ties Interested in these roads that while the wheat crop on the lines wear, of Pittsburg shows a decrease of 25 per cent., ther.) Is a large in crease in all other products, and that, tho out look is prosperous and the weather healthy aud line. The Cincinnati, Hamilton A Dayton company have just completed and storked up with choice flowers a greenhouse tit Hamilton, and employed a florist to take cate of it. Manager Waite has ordered that at stations along t lie line little grass plots should he fenced off, nnd that they should be made attractive by flowi-rs ami plants to he distributed from this greenhouse. President Jewett, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Dayton lines, will, on ids return to New York, insist that the C., 11. 6c D. shall be allowed a larger per cent., or business under the trank line east-bound pool out of Cincinnati. For eighteen months past the C., If. A I). has been turning over a large tonnage to other eastern lines out of (.’fuolunnti, to bring up such Hues’deficit uuder the pooling agreement. Engineers on the Chlongo, St. Louis A Pitts burg road are paid by the day. and on the first division the run from Indiauanolis to Bradford is a day’s work, for which passenger engineers receive $3.25, and freight engineers, first, class, receives 4: second class, $3.60; third class, $3 29. Poav engineers receive $2.25 per day. A first class engineer must have run on the roan three years; second clues, two years; third class, one year. Car necountnnts of Indianapolis lines yester day received anent circular-letter from the gen eral passenger agent of the Lehigh Valley road, stating that a special car would he attached to their train which leaves Buffalo at 8:40 a. m., on the 21st, oil winch they could go through to Philadelphia. This will give tiie hoys an oppor tunity to see the beautiful scenery along tilts grand mute. The Hotel Lafavette is to tie the headquarters of the boys during tholrstnyln Philadelphia.

Damages for Being Scalded. A Jury in Justioe Feiblemnn's court, yester day, gave Lena Booker, a colored woman, a verdict for SIOO damages against the Woodburn Barren-wheel Company. According to the testimony, the plaintiff was carrying a bucket of ecaldlug water along Garden street, when a large door to a passage way to the factory, which was not fastened, was blown violently against her by the wind, knocking her down, the water scalding her badly on the breast And left arm. She brought suit for damages, alleging that it was the business of the Wheel Company to keep their gates shut, and the Jury coincided in this view. The water which the woman was carry ing at the tim* was taken from an escape plpn from the dry-house, where the poor people in that vicinity get all their hot water for washing purposes. __________ Tm? most necessary piece of furniture to a business man is a convenient office dusk, King k Elder have them in all styles. THE EPISCOPAL BISHOPRIC. The Work for the Convention of June 5 Dr. Nicholson’s Re-electiou Not Considered Probable. The first business of the Episcopal convention, which meets at Bt. Paul’s Cathedral, in thlsoity, on June 5, for the purpose of taking action upon the letter of Dr. Nicholson, declining tho Indi ana bishopric, will be, after the letter has been formally presented to the body, to canvass the question as to whether or not there is still a gen eral desire among the members of the diocese that he should accept the office. To reach a de cision of the matter, a vote will be taken upon a motion requesting Dr. Nicholson to withdraw his letter of declination. If the vote is unanimously in the affirmative, the action will l>e equivalent to a re-election, ana all proceedings will end there. Dr. Nicholson will then accept, as it will be his duty to. While this will he the course of procedure, part ly through courtesy and the loyalty of his friends who first urged his election, there is no probability that the convention will take any such action. A prominent member of the clergy yesterday stated to a Journal reporter that Dr. Nicholson’s election was simply an accident. The choice of the clergy was Dr. Harrison, and the choice of the laity was Dr. Garrett. A com promise became necessary, and the name of Dr. Nicholson was proposed. Ho was known per sonally to only two men in the convention, but his extensive reputation as one of the ablest clergyman in the eburoh was known to all, and it was supposed that he possessed all the requisites for the position. Binoe ins eleotiou it lias been found by more careful inquiry into the man’s character and by more deliberate consideration of the kind of a man required for the position, that the choice of Dr. Nicholson may have been a mistake. His ideas upon important church mat ters will not harmonize with those held by the ludiana diocese. If the convention fails, as it certainly will, to request Dr. Nicholson, by a unanimous vote, to withdraw his declination, they will then proceed in the regular way to the eleotiou of a bishop to till the va cant place. Among those who are most prominently mentioned for the office are Dr. Worthington, of Detroit; Dr. Parett, of Wash ington, D. C.; Archdeacon Kirkby. general mis sionary secretary of the Episcopal church; Dr. Harrison ana Dr. Garrett. The last named, It is claimed, is in ill-health, and, while he possesses in a high degree all the qualifications, it is likely that he will not be urged very strongly. The name of Rev. E. A. Bradley, of Christ Church, this city, has been mentioned by several papers iu the State, but Mr. Bradley wishes it under stood that he is no candidate, and that the use or his name in connection with the place is with out his consent. It is not generally known that there was a movement prior to the meeting of the last convention to put forward Mr. Bradley for the office, but he re fused, it is said, to give it his approval or con sent. Several prominent members of the church oalled on him when names were being suggested, and urged him to give his consent to becoming a candidate. “Tlio position is one which should seek the man,” he held, and he refused to give any encouragement to the movemeut. An ardent ad mirer, however, placed him in nomination, be cause he conscientiously believed it to be his duty, and a very complimentary vote was given him in the balloting. Delayed Appointments. Neither the Supreme Court judge nor the Ev ansville metropolitan police commissioner were appointed yesterday, as had been authorita tively announced. Governor Porter is in a per plexed state of mind over which of two men to choose forjudge, and the State board were not prepared to name their man for police commis sioner. The Supreme judge, however, will be either Judge Fraser or Judge Hammond, aud it is likely that the police commissioner will be Edward E. Law. It may be announced for “positively the last tune” that the appointments will both be made to-day. Parker will open to-morrow an immense va riety of the popular Teck dearfe.

METROPOLITAN MELANGE. Celebrating Christopher Columbus and the Big Bridge. Gossip About, the Lily—Military Murmurings —Getting lleady to Blow Up Hell Gate—Personal Points. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. New York, May 10. —The date reminds me that just seven years ago this morning Gen eral Grant and Dom Pedro, of Brazil, pulled the lever and opened the throttle-valve and declared open to the world the stupendous exposition that marked the completion of one hundred years of American independence. It was just about such a morning as this—dull, foggy, warm, and before noonday bursting out into the cloudless loveliness of a perfect May-day. The topic calls to mind a conversation which I had with the Hon. WilliamW. Astor, United States minister to Italy, just before he sailed for Rome. Some remark led me to express regret that New York had not carried out her plans for a great exposition in honor of the constitutional government, on its hun dredth anniversary, this year. Said he: “We will have a greater celebration than that, soon; in fact, the greatest ever held in the world.” “When?” I asked. “In just ten years from date.” At the moment I didn’t notice what he was driving at, and looked puzzling and inquir ing, I suppose; and he went on: “Don’t you see? The year 1892 will bring us the four hundredth anniversary of the dis covery of America by Columbus. Well, it Seems to me that every nation and State and tribe on the continent of the new world, from Point Bar row to Cape Horn, should join in a celebra tion worthy of the event it commemorates. And I am sure it could be held in no more fit place than the metropolis of the new world.” Subsequent talks with other prominent capitalists, business men and political lead ers, show me that there exists very generally a sentiment that such a plan should be car ried out, and that in order to do so worthily, work should be commenced very soon. All the nations of North 'and South America should be invited to unite in it, and it would “thus be a far better peace congress than the one recently attempted and so miserably abandoned. A suitable ground should be selected, and well drained, and some imposing structure of permanent character, like the great Trocadero Palace in Paris, built. It should be forever held in trust as the common property of an international American league, where from time to time congresses of representatives of American nations might meet in the interest of peace, prosperity and the advancement of American interests and institutions. General Grant was heard to say recently that he believed the force ot United States civilization would in time attract to this country all the petty States of the continent. They would look hither for counsel, exam ple and patronage, even if they never were actuany annexed to this country. In fur therance of this idea, he would strongly favor such a celebration. But whether it he inter national in scope or not, this city is bound to have a great time in 1892. THE LILY’S LATEST. Mrs. Langtry is to appear here next season In a play written especially for her by Dion Boucicault. This fact I have on no less an authority than that of the genial Dion him self. He did not tell me, however, that it would be like all the rest of his plays, a mere readaptation of a French play by some other author. He has been on the most friendly terms with the Lily since her return to this city, and has taken several dinners with her and Freddie, who wrote him a note that was correctly spelled, with the exception of the actor’s name, which appeared as “Boosi cault” Well, Dion first wanted to get her up an Irish play, but she demurred. “I haven’t been through London for nothing,” she said; “and I want to show people what I know about society.” So it was finally ar ranged that Dion should write her an Eng glish society comedy, with perhaps a few Irish characters to give it variety. Mrs. Langtry’s own part is to be exceedingly prominent, she appearing in every act, and the arrangement being such that she will have an opportunity to wear three different costumes, one of them being a ball-dress with the very minimum amount of material about the bust. Going last week, Thursday afternoon, to Miss Kate Pattison’s benefit, “The Cynic,” at the Fifth-avenue. I espied Mrs. Langtry occupying a proscenium box. Freddie sat close behind her, with his folded arms rest ing on the back of her chair, and his face within six inches of her cheek. After the first act lie came out and took his stand in the central aisle of the orchestra, about half way down, or in the center of the house. There he stood, as conspicuous as a scare crow in a cornfield, all through the second act, diligently stocking the silver-plated knob on the big end of his cane. The next day I called, late in the after noon, on a friend who lives in an up-town apartment house. A handsome team and carriage with liveried coachman and foot man stood at the door. On the harness and panels the monogram “F. G.” was conspicu ous. Entering the building I found the jan itor and servants in a state of excitement bordering on mania. “Faith, mum,” cried one, “an’ its herself, it is, and she’s come to visit Mrs. D.” “An’ if ye’ll allow me to say so. mem.” added the elevator driver, as I entered that vehicle, “it’s no great shakes for beauty she is. at all. Sure, there’s many a girl in Down patrick that’d sicken her wid envy.” The friend on whom I called told me the Lily had come several times to visit Mrs. D “The janitor, and servants, and even Fred die’s coachman, and every menial she comes in contact with, hates her like poison,” she added. “Why, I wonder?” “Because she’s awfully overbearing and tyrannical in her treatment of them. She never asks; she orders. I guess she never learned how to say ‘please’ or ‘thanks’ to a subordinate, or even smile at one.” MILITARY MATTERS. Military circles are in a little flutter over the programme for the opening of the bridge. Only two regiments are formally to take part in the ceremonies, but all prominent officers of other military organizations in the State are invited to be present. The regiments selected are the Seventh of this city, and the Twenty-third of Brooklyn. The first named will escort the President and other distin guished guests from the Fifth-avenue Hotel down Broadway and to the New York tower of the bridge. There the Brooklyn hoys will meet them, and they will march together across the main span and to ttie Btation building at the Brooklyn landing, where tqg •peering are to be made. The display will be a fine one. The Seventh regiment will he 825 strong, and everyone knows how superbly it inarches, The Twenty-third will he 700 strong, with a hand of ninety-one pieces and many good judges think it a better; drilled and better-looking regiment on the march than even the Seventh. If so, it must be about the finest militia regiment in the country. The selection of the Twenty-third has made the Thirteenth, of Brooklyn, terribly jealous, and its officers will not be present at the opening at all. The Thirteenth has long been trying to rival the Twenty-third in public favor, First, it made Henry Ward Beecher its chaplain. And then it began go ing on- expeditions to Canada, to Yorktown, and goodness knows where not, and it in vited regiments from Boston and elsewhere to visit the city as its guests. In a hundred such ways it has tried to give people outside the city the idea that it was Brooklyn’s crack regiment. But people in Brooklyn only laugh at such antics. They remember how the regiment held fairs, etc., to get the public to pay for its excursions; how, on every possible occasion, its members have a habit of getting drunk wholesale; how it has imprisoned some of its members for not paying their dues, when they had been sick and could not pay; and how in general the name of the regiment is synony mous with rowdyism. So they steadfastly hold true their affection and pride for “Ours,” as they long ago fondly named the Twenty-third. There is a pleasant little incident that serves to bind the Seventh and Twenty-third regiments together, and which, apart from the fact that they are indisputably the finest regiments in the two cities, makes it espe cially fitting that they should be associated in the ceremonies of May 24. Coionel Em mons Clark, of the Seventh, and Colonel Rodney Ward, of the Twenty-third, enlisted in the militia together, and were together re ceived into the ranks of the Seventh, in Jan uary, 18G7. The regiment was then under Colonel Shaler, who is now Major-general commanding the first division N. furnace,” of 3,200 degrees F., with a do-'- others, where in eighteen ikA*HVcA? A, xeasJ v.for.cas tin g. riage, taken to a crane, hoisted over the cast ing tables, on the sides of w’bich are placed iron rods of the thickness the glass is re quired and upon which the roller travels. The pot is then emptied in front of the roll er, the roller passed over the metal, and a plate of glass is the result. The glass is at once pushed off on to a plaster-top table and conveyed to the oven to anneal. Os these ovens there are sixty, varying in size from six to eight hundred square feet. The glass is put in, the fires withdrawn, and in three or four days the glass is annealed and cool enough to handle. It is withdrawn and squared, and is now ready for the grind ing. smoothing and polishing tables. In the grinding room the plates are bedded in plas ter of paris, and the whirling tables of glass ground under the action of sand and iron until they are reduced nearly one-half in thickness. They then go to the smoothing room, where four grades of emery are used; then to the polishing room, where the plates are again bedded in plaster and polished by friction with felt covered blocks and colcothar. Finally they are hand-polished, and then sent to the ware house, to await the orders of the public. The entire process is one of great interest. The description given affords little idea of the complex and ingenious machinery by w’hich the rough plates are changed into sheets of crystal glass. To appreciate this, one should go with the genial superintend ent of the department. Mr. P. Brockman, through the works. He is master of the busi ness. has been in plate-glass works most of his life, and remembers twenty years ago when an English factory celebrated the then ne plus ultra of plate glass making—a plate only eight feet by eleven. The composition of the plate glass varies. It is a matter of technology rather than of chemistry. Prof. John Hurty analytical chemist, of Indianapolis, who accompanied the w’riter to the works se cured specimens of the various grades for qualitative analysis, but had not completed them at the time of writing. Few citizens of Indiana are aware of the magnitude and extent of the DePauw Amer ican Plate-Glass Works. It is a pecular in dustry, beset with great difficulties, and that they have been overcome is a credit to tho State, and a lasting monument to the energy and industry of the man who, single-handed, has made American plate-glass known in America and feared in Europe. Augnstu* and the William Goat. Augustus Prim went out to swim, And, following tradition, lie hung his clothes on a hickory limb, Devoid of all suspicion.

New Free Press- The bakers who handle any wheat flour at all are expected to furnish fresh rolls for every meal, and the number of meals in Vienna is five or six daily. In the bakeries most favorable to the workmen the rolls are done daily at 3a. m., 10 a. m. and 3 i. m. But the averago time of work is from fourteen to eirhtoen hours daily. The workmen de mand that their time of labor be reduced to sixty-three hours a week. The wages of men and boys employed injthe Viennabakeries are from $1 50 to $5 a week, besides board. But the men have to carry the flour sacks, they have to make their fires, and the hoys have to carry the rolls to the houses of the con sumers. _____________________ Brown's Bronchial Troches ns a remedy for Coughs and Throat Troubles: “Great service In subduing Hoarseness.”-Rev.

One Thousand People in the Care of the Indiana Hospital. Au Interesting Visit to the Institution, ami Wliit Is Learned of Its Condition- Intelligent and Faithful Work. Written for the Indianapolis Journal. A not unpleasant street-car ride of two miles west from Indianapolis, on the National road, brings you into the beautiful grounds of the Indiana Hospital for the Insane. In front of these immense piles of brick are sixty acres of park, well shaded by the natu ral forest. Pleasant walks, set with choice trees and shrubs, a conservatory of rare plants, the airsweet with odors and the music of birds, do not suggest the sorrow and mis ery all these surroundings are intended to and do alleviate. Here is a community of over 1,000 per sons, enjoying, as their mental and physical state will permit, the bounty and charity of the State. They have for their use and comfort real estate worth one and a half millions; for their maintenance nearly $30,000 is annually appropriated. They have a park of eighty acres for their rambles, a vegetable garden of forty acres which yields them annually $14,000 worth of fruits in their season, while to the left is a pasture of forty acres, with as many cows to furnish them with milk and cream. They have a half dozen skilled physi cians to care for their health, an army of servants to look after their hourly wants. For their subsistence $96,000 is paid annu ally; they use 150 barrels best flour each month and 35,000 pounds best beef, besides 4,000 pounds of butter each month, as many bushels of vegetables, and daily eighty gal lons of milk. For their diversion there is a theater, where they dance or witness plays; they have a half dozen pianos and as many organs. If able and choosing to work, the men are em ployed in the garden or about tlie grounds. They enjoy it and hail the spring. The wo men have light employment, suited to their tastes and ability, in their rooms. Many of them assist in the sowing rooms, where $12,- 000 worth of clothing is made annually. Labor, occupation, often proves their best restorative. DIVISION AND MANAGEMENT. In the building to the south, the men’s department, are 450 inmates; to the north is the women’s department with 625. Whan one sees these vast piles of masonry and re members their benevolent design, lie is re minded of the “good will to men” that near ly two thousand years ago fell soft as the dew of heaven on suffering hu manity. Within these walls are those once our friends and neighbors, but now be come the closeted skeletons of the house hold. We put them aside, hut we cannot ignore them. Like the poor, they are always with us. Nay, insanity may come even to us, and we shrink like Lear, exclaiming: “O, let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heav en!” INSIDE THE HOSPITAL. room is a copy in oil of the justly celebrated picture of Dr. Philip Pinel ordering off the chains and shackels of the insane at La Salpetriere (1795), and thus inaugurating the present system of kind and gentle treatment. We pass with Superintendent Rogers through the central official building, and enter the wards, of which there are forty-two, each containing from twenty-five to thirty in mates, with three or four attendants. The patients are carefully examined and those of like afflictions classed together. There is no broadly-drawn line between the sane and the insane. Most persons have had moments of madness, if not of delusion. Ec centricity and natural idiosyncracy pass by insensible gradation into acute mania anil imbecility. The hospital includes all sorts and conditions of men. There are the usual ly harmless cranks stranded on perpetual motion, or squaring the circle; and so on through the various shades of insane diathe sis. There is frenzied inebriety, ecstatic de votion and mild melancholy; there are those whom it “pleased God to form of idiot mind.” Here is a ward of nice old ladies, always quiet and orderly; here again, of young wo men reading magazines or dozing on the settees, while one of their number is rattling a merry sonata on the piano. Through a fire-proof corridor, with slate floor and stairs, we pass to the next section of four wards. These sections are as distinct as the blocks of the vaunted “cottage sys tem.” They corner on each other, three or 1 four wards each, retreating from the central official building. Each ward is essentially a cottage; so that we have the advantages of the cottage plan with none of its ineonve niencies. If a patient sickens in the winter night, the doctor passes through the warm corridors and is present in a moment; no stopping for coats and mittens; no cold meals frozen in transit; no inconvenient transfers of patients through storm or sleet to oilier quarters. The building is nearly fire proof. A six-inch main girdles the buildings; there are 7,000 feet of woven hose, two outside reels, wells with capacity of 500,000 gallons, seventy inside stations, each with one hun dred feet of hose, and a well-drilled fire brigade. Dr. Rogers says that in four minutes he can have a stream of water on the cupola, and by signal can in ten minutes have every patient out of the house. The wells furnish water of 12° of hardness and entirely free from organic mat ter. By the use of tannate of soda, Dr. Rog ers, who is skilled In chemistry and tech nology, and an excellent mechanic, lias kept the boilers perfectly free of deposits, even after three years’ use. The present system of steam pumps set twenty feet below grade (securing short lift and close connection), with well tubes rising ten feet above pumps as vaccum chambers, and the whole system connected by automatic electrical apparatus with the engineer on duty fifty yards distant in the boiler-rooms, was devised and arranged by the superin tendent. The wards are 9team-heated and gas-light ed, ventilated efficiently by air drawn from under the eaves and passing down flues to the basement, thus avoiding the ground air. From the ten boilers of 600-horse power leads a fifteen-inch steam main, which rami fies like a great artery, forming fifty-two miles of steampipe under the women's de partment. Os Brazil coal mainly, 5,000 toii9 at $2.25 a ton are used. The coal and ash is weighed of all coals used, to determine the most economical. In each of the forty-two wards are about twenty-five inmates and three attendants. Each ward lias its dining-room, dish-closet, warming closet and food-elevator. The ali mentation is of the greatest importance. Many are insune from lack of food and bod ily comforts. Some arc cured simply by rest and good diet. Others, controlled by delu sion, refuse food, and require urging, us even artificial feeding. The majority, if left to their own volition, would sturve. They de mand concentrated und eusily-assiinilable food, with tissue and fuel-forming elements in duo proportion. To this end tho boot of beef, bread and potatoes form the basis, varied with other meats, fish and poultry and the vege tables of the hospital garden. There are three meals daily; always beef tor breakfast and dinner and a light tea. With many of the pauper insane the good nourishment is complete restoration. Each ward has a clothes room with compartment for each pa tient, a reception room where they meet friends from 2 to 5 p. m., except Sunday, a bath-room where each patient bathes once a week, and oftener if necessary, an attend ant’s room and a private room for each patient. There are books and flowers, inusia and birds; in short, all material surroundings for their comfort and restoration. Remove the iron window gratingß and throw open the doors and the whole surroundings moro resemble a convenient and elegant hotel than the kindly asylum that it is, much less a mad-house. You hear no raving; there are no “bad wards,” no dungeons, no chains, no unnecessary confinement. MEDICAL HISTORY AND ATTENDANCE. The tenth census estimates the insane in the United States as 92,000—0ne to 543 popu lation. Indiana has about 2,500, of which 1.100 are in the hospital, and over 1,000 are at large—many of them awaiting the new hospitals to be built as their permanent homes. Os the average number of inmates last year (1,085), 762 were admitted and 742 discharged; the whole number treated 1,827. Os the discharged 378 were restored, 121 im proved, 116 not improved, 105 died and 10 proved not insane. Os the 762 admissions, 249 had good family record, 249 had pre natal tendency to nervous disease or vicious defect. Os these cases where heredity is a known factor, 60 were intemperate, 48 tuber culous, 23 epileptic, 21 hysterical, and 8 de formed. Here, as elsewhere, the history of the Duke family repeats itself; the defective organization, physical, mental or moral re appears. A sound mind can only be in a sound body. For a hospital the general health has been good; the ratio of recoveries to admis sion 48 per cent., and of deaths to whole number treated per cent., which is lower than the average of English and American hospitals. The medical staff consists of the superintendent, with Drs. J. N. Smith and A. J. Thomas in charge of the women’s de partment, Drs. J. R. Rrown and W. E. Brandt in charge of the men’s. Dr. Brandt was appointed in the place of Dr. \V. H. Hubbard who resigned May 1, to assume a private practice. I)r. Hubbard is a scientific physician, aud during the four years of his service endeared himself both to patients and management. The entire staff are in harmony and the general morale and spirit excellent; the su perintendent is kind and genial, a traveled and cultured gentleman, giving his officers and employes liberty in their departments and quick to recognize earnest ettort and good results on their part. He has a pleasant word for the patients and attendants as he meets them in wards or work-rooms; he is omnipresent, and calls every employe, and most of the patients promptly by name, and never fails to say the apt word at the right time. His qualifications are those of the business man and manager, as well as a long professional life and large practice of general medicine; while his wide knowledge and in terest in technology have brought a practical economy to the hospital which annually saves the State thousands of dollars. DOMESTIC ECONOMY. This is everywhere apparent. They have a carpenter-shop, with foreman and four work men, steam-power saws, dry-kiln, etc.. 4 .and make their own fn— #ttrrS and half a dozen steam engines in his care, and is fore man of six firemen, so-called, but really practical mechanics, who do all gas-fitting and plumbing. A Westinghouse steam en gine, the acme of perfection in light running engines, self-oiling and automatic until worn out, is in the wash-room for men, and is run entirely by women. It is a gem, and tho only one in the State. Steam injectors throw water into the tubs, and clear the waste from the engines. There is a tin-shop and forges. From the refuse tallow and grease 6,000 gallons of soap are inude at a cost of less than a cent a pound. In earlier times $12,000 worth annually of refuse was sold; this is now mainly saved to the hospital, and only rags, bones and old lead are sold. Upwards of $3,000 is saved in soap alone. Dr. Rogers has taught the apoth ecaries to make ihe paraffin gas-lighters. They make an indelible marking ink better than Payson’s. The mason is a free lance—Mr. “McCune.” He is forever in the caverns that underlie the buildings and grounds like the cata combs of Paris, patching and mending. He makes his Portland stone; fights, with the aid of butcher and storekeeper, the cock roaches with borax and chamomile dust. Ho only knows of one rat in the building, and will soon have scientific salt on its tail, and, with Dr. Rogers, has concocted a deep-laid scheme to rid store-house and bakery of red ants (which thrive on Persian insect powder and regard borax as a luxury) by getting on the blind side and stoning them to death, after having first made them “comatose” with oil of peppermint. STATISTICAL AND FINAL. As to civil state, 352 of the admissions for 1881 were married, 276 single, 68 widowed and 21 divorced,. As to occupation, 215 were farmers, 73 laborers, 5 professional men, 9 merchants and 6 mechanics. As to age, 58 were under twenty and 58 over sixty, while 188 are from thirty to forty. As to nativity, 347 were Indianians; 78 were from Marion county and none from Adams or Posey. Tho grounds are in fine condition, the green house redolent with jasmine and bright with foliage plants soon to adorn thegrounds. There is a large bread-fruit tree, rose trees two inches in diameter and bananas in every condition of growth. The white and purple flowered magnolias adorn the walks, and one in full blossom, and also red bud and dog wood. There is every outward surrounding that can “minister to a mind diseased, or pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow;’’ in short, there i9 not in the State an institution better adapted by location, intent or manage ment to administer to the needs of its unior tunate inmates. What 1m Done with Goal-Dust. Scientific. Miscellany. According to the census ret urns the amount of “culm,” or coal-dust, on mining anthra cite coal is 34 per cent, a year; this waste amounts on anthracite* alone to 9,900,832 tons; the same loss in other States is esti mated at 20 per cent., making a total return of 21,449,335 tons for last year. Many at tempts have been made to utilize this waste by converting it into fuel, with bituminous substances, such as pitch or tar, but owing to tho nature of the combustion of those substances they were soon consumed, when the coal-dust resumed its former state. Tho difficulty has been solved by Mr. W. H. Corey, of England, who mixes the coal-dust with a small quantity of dry lire clay, and adding a small percentage of silicate of soda. The three materials are thoroughly mixed and submitted to pressure. The blocks are as hard as ordinary lump coal. “With Grateful Feelings.' 1 Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N.

The remarkable revival which commenced last October at Basie, and spread to suiroutid ing districts, is more than maintained; it in creases in intensity us the numbers increase. jEvgry tiling in quiet and orderly about it; •he hulls are crowded, and an earnest spirit of prayer ami implicit trust prevails every where among the attendants. “in Now York,” writes a well-known cor fespondent, “i was once shocked to hear a mother say to hier daughter (and she was a very estimable woman, too), ‘I wish you to be confirmed at Grace Church, because it is a more fashionable church than Ascension. I should be very much ashamed of you if you married a poor man. I should be ashamed of myself and unworthy of your father’s confidence if I allowed any girl to be better dressed than you are.’ There is living in this county an old lady who has read through the Bible at least fifty times. She once read it through in fifty hours, reading two hours each day for twenty five days. As an unbeliever, she began to read it through curiosity, but bad not finished reading it for the third time before she became a firm convert to its truths and doctrines.—Athens (Ga.) Banner. Mr. Moody thinks that ministers in this country should exchange pulpits often with the brethren in England, “say for six months at a time.” “It is only a short trip across tbe ocean, and it would do much to stir up the people of both lands.” “Why.” said Mr. Moody on Sunday, “I could have preached in Queenstown on Sunday, in the morning, and in New York on the following Sunday.’ l Professor Robertson Smith, the leader in “higher criticism,” is not successful as a Bible-class teacher in one of the Edinburg churches. A writer in the Christian World (London) says; “When it was begun, in November, the number attending it nearly filled the area of the church. I was therefore surprised on looking into it, on a recent Sun day, to find only about twenty-five persons assembled.” President Eliot,of Harvard, thinks it would be a groat improvement in the relation be tween minister and congregation, “if the minister were frankly allowed sometimes to comment upon a fresh book instead of preaching a sermon, sometimes to read other men’s sermons instead of his own. and, in general, to direct his hearers in good read ing, and bring them to know something of the minds and works of the leaders of the race, living aud dead.” In the recently published autobiography of the lute Bishop *E. O. Haven, we find the fol lowing: “When a few weeks old. the ‘census man’ called to take the number of persons in the household. My mother, after mention ing my father and herself and the three other children, and perhaps the nurse, held me up and said, ‘Here is another, that we haven’t named yet.’ The man looked a few seconds carelessly, and exclaimed, ‘Ah! he won t live a week; I guess we won’t count him.’ and made no entry in his book. So far as J know, 1 am the only person then living in the coun try that was refused a place in the census of 1820. Really, all accurate statisticians ought to notice, in making their calculations, that the population of the United States for 1820, instead of being 0,638.131, as usually stated, was really 9,638,132, or subsequent censuses should be proportionately diminished.” The Rev. Dr. Angus, of London, believes that the Protestant church is able to have the gospel preached to every creature within ten years. He says: “Under the least favorable conditions we might need 50.000 preacher?, and their support might need from ten to fif teen millions a year. It seems a great com pany, 50,000 preachers, and yet it is not more than 1 per cent, of our evangelical church members. England sent as many men to tbe Crimea to take a single fortress, and to keep up for a few years a Mohammedan despot ism. Ten times the number fell on each side in the American war to set free three or four millions of slaves. Cannot 50,000 re deemed men be found to win back the world for Christ? It seems a great sum—a hundred and fifty millions in ten years—yet it is less than £3 a year from each member of the evangelical churches of Europe aud America.” A Consistent Life. unt! iux7iru:iv inllin l1 if, took his market-basket on his arm and went to Faneuil-hall market to get provisions for dinner. He was followed and watched, as he often was. bv a young man who was the chor ister of the Universalist church. The minis ter soon came to the fish market. Here Dr. Beecher picked up a fine-looking fish and asked the fisherman if it was fresh and sweet, “Certtiiiily," replied the man, “for I eaueht it mvself yesterday,” which was the Sabbath. Dr. Beecher at once dropped the fish, saying. “Then I don't want it,” and went on without another word. The young man who was watching him was instantly convinced of the minister's honesty and sin cerity in practicing the principles which he preached, became a regular attendant and a true convert, and ior more than a quarter of a century was known as Deacon Thomas Hol lis, the druggist. He was a prominent offi cial in the Jortlindox church and a valued di rector in tiie benevolent and charitable institutions df the city until his death. Sir. Beecher’s Advice to iits Choir. Friday Night Talk. I am very happy to see so many of you and to express satifaction wilh your singing. Your voices are well knit and I have no doubt you will do better and better. I do not regard singing as a mere musical utterance. I re gard singing as tbe wings of instruction. There are two means by which a congrega tion is lifted upward in devotion—by pro.er lyrical and by prayer didactic. For one the congregation depends on me, and for tbe other on the choir in the form of music. You are as much a minister as I am, and in some respects you are more so. I pray once at a service—you sing two or three'times; and all tiie day five or six times. Almost all (lie hymns are direct addresses to tiie throne of God. There must be nothing improper or shocking in me; neither must there be in you. Suppose I began a prayer, "O Dord!" and then began twisting and pulling something out of my pocketaud nudging someone near me. Why. the congregation would become so shocked that they would never come to hear me again. See how irreverent and shocking such conduct in a choir is, unless the music is to be only a noise to cover up something in the church—the shutting up of seats or the getting of hats, or tiie whisper, “I’ll meet you at such a pluce.” Singing ought to be the most devout and religious element in worship. The choir is set conspicuously in the congregation, and tbe eyes of all are constantly seeing you. All I ask is that those who sit in the choir behave with the same decorum as though they sat in tiie con gregation. I don’t mean as stiff as wax can dles, but witli seeming propriety and so lemnity. What is not proper in tiie is not to be permitted in tiie choir. I hope that, sing ing together, you will he knit together, and that this religion will become finally tiie jov of your life and your comfort in sicknessond death. Whatever I can do to help you I will do gladly. I am delighted with tiie prospect, and hupa your singing will be ac ceptable to pur people and to God Himself." A Question of Practicability. WsHiiingtou Post. During the discussion of the temperance issue at the Methodist ministers’meeting in Cincinnati, on Monday, it was remarked that there is not a leading seculur paper in the Rtnte that supports the proposition to pro hibit the liquor traffic in Ohio. This is not strange. Secular newspapers, sensibly con ducted, do not waste their time and strength in trying to do impossible things. They have learned by experience that the liquor trade can be regulated, but cannot be de stroyed. A Long-Felt Want. New York Graphic. A Brooklyn Sunday-school class bad just finished singing “I want to be an ungel. Anil witli the angels stand." when the teacher, observing that one of the boys bad not contributed bis voice to swell tin* sacred refrain, said: “And you want to be on angel, too, don’t you. Wiilie?” “No,” resumed Willie, “not right away. I want to he a circus-rider a good deal, first)” THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1883. SPRING AND SUMMER STYLE, French dresses ore again nude with the high puffed sleeve. Orange and flame colors in vanishing ef fects arc seen in many of tbe new silks and novelty goods. Silk mitts will be again worn this summer in plain solid bilk, in black and all the styl ish new shades of the season, The new fraises and ruches for the neck are very wide and full, and are nearly a yard long, so as to form a jabot down the front. Bonnet3 and hats may be of absolutely any shape, from the tiny capote—which is really little more than a cap—to the broad-brimmed or laige, high-crowned head gear, or the pointed and puffed French poke, the latter being now filled up with close ruohings of tulle, edged with gold or silver thread. Every article of wear as the spring ad vances seems to increase in size, except per haps the hoot. Plaids are getting large, crinolettes threaten an increase of dimen sions. hats take on more circumference, and the flower patterns on brocaded silks, satins, and sateens arc some of them large enough to cover the back of any ordinary-sized woman. Sleeves are worn even more and more tight, and the only exception to this rule ap pears in the slashed sleeve, which in evening ordemi-toilette dresses is puffed at the shoul der, slashed open to display lace or satin of a different color, and finished off with siik lacing cord. This sleeve has a corresponding puffing at the wrist, the lace or satin being gathered in such a way as to fall slightly over the hand. It is reported by dressmakers returning from Paris that in lieu of the toumure or crinolette. French modistes are introducing the old steel and pliable whalebones, which are run into the hems of the ruffles of a skirt which fits the figure closely in front and at the sides. In the back the ruffles begin about eight inches below the waist, extend ing aud slightly enlarging all tbe way down to the bottom of the skirt. Wrappers are once more a favorable gar ment for home wear, and very tasteful, cool, clean looking matinees are made of the cheap prints, with tiny spots or large polka dots on a white ground. Ladies who object to loose wrappers, and young ladies who do not wear them, make instead these simple morning dresses with a short round skirt, with a single deep flounce or two narrow ones, and a long half-fitting sacque edged with a ruffle and worn with or without belt. The most fashionable of the white toilets worn this summer, instead of being relieved by the usual colors of rose color, blue or mauve, will be enlivened by the newer shades of French terra-cotta, tea rose, shrimp pink and the like, and a leading toilet will be one of white nuns* veiling or vigogne, with broad sash and other satin ribbon trim mings of pale primrose yellow, with prim roses in the corsage and hair, aud necklace and chatelaine of amber beads. Summer Dresses. rblludelphia Press. Very pretty zephyr ginghams come in robes with plain material for the overdresses and stripes for the skirt. These are put up iu boxes, and are accompanied by a plate to show the manner of making. Polonaises are much worn for such suits, still many ging hams are made up in what may well be called the standard style for wash dresses, viz.: a short round skirt with one. two or three flounces at the foot, a long, round overskirt draped by means of tapes run in casings into a short wrinkled apron in front, and falling in full, soft puffs at the back. The bodice for the dress may be either a round, full waist iuith-O. bkpa^orj coat-tail, the sides sloped on the hips and pointed front. The taste for emulated edges, i. e., edges cut into tabs or points, reaches to ginghams, and some very ef fective dresses have Jersey basques, with- the edges cut out and bound with solid colored ginghams, white overskirts and flounces are finished to match. One of the laws of fashion is that the lower skirt must be trimmed to match the over skirt—it is no longer in good taste to put lace or embroidery on the overskirt and plain flounces on the under; tbe latter must also be edged with the trimming. The dress should, however, always have a narrow rufle with plainly hemmed edge set at the foot under the flounce, in order to protect the lace or embroidery thereon. White nainsooks ami Victoria lawns are of many kinds, from the plainly-made dress with tucks for the sole trimming, to the elaborate robes made almost entirely of em broidery. or trimmed with Oriental, Russian, or Medicis lace by the piece. costumes, with round shirred waists, full puffed sleeves and plain round skirt, formed of a single deep embroidered flounce, are liked for young ladies and misses. The handsomest white dresses are either almost entirely composed of lace, or else are all of the new open-work embroideries, with barely enough plain material to hold them together. Summer Underwear. .Brooklyn Onion. A few words as to underwear as the change of season comes on may have an interest, epecially as the ‘subject has received a good deal of at tention lately, and several varieties of make can be highly recommended both for health and comfort. The latest novelty is the sleeveless vest, which has a rib finish round the arm-hole, aud is especially suitable for wearing with the fashionable tight sleeve. High-necked vests, both in gauze and gossamer, are made in the same way. Combinations of vest and drawers in similar materials huve very much to recommend them, while one cannot speak too highly of the Swiss knitted shapeless vest, witli square neck, which is perfectly elastic and fits like an outer skin, absorbing the moisture of the body and yet affording no re straint or extra warmth. Vests of netted silk are in every color, white, pink and light blue being mostly worn. They are shaped to the figure and nre exceedingly comfortable, For less expensive wear, haibriggan mixed with silk answers every purpose, while raw silk vests are increasingly popular. Chil dren’s underwearjis a mat ter of serious consid eration at the season of the year when they nre perpetually overheating themselves. The best adapted for all purposes are unquestion ably tbe combination gauze or gossamer vest and drawers, which are suitable both for boys and girls; they are very light in make, and, while they fit loosely to the figure, do not add any sensible weight to the clothing. A Revival of the Train. New York Evening Post. Every dress now pretending to any ele gnnee must huve a train, if it be for indoor wear. But there is one advantage about the trains of the present. Nearly all are made adjustable, so that if tbe short skirt is fnily trimined, it answers for calling or the prome nade; while for evening the addition of a train will give it. a grace and finish that it would otherwise lack. The train falls from the waist in pleats, which are attached to a band tlmt fastens around tbe waist at pleas ure. The train ia fastened again to tbe sides of the skirt by means of buttons or safety books half way down, the fastenings being lmi under tbe kilt or flounce. Avery pretty dress made this way bad a detached train and bodice of satin brocade, while tbe skirt was composed of bluck lace ruffles over black silk. Tbe front of tbe bodice was somewhat singularly devised, being cut into fine points or narrow V's. fhespaoes between being filled in with black lace. The sleeves match tlio bodice in style, and reach the elbow only, tiie widest part of tbe V being at the top of tbe arm. Tiie neck and sleeves Mre both fin- ished off with thread lace French thread no-w forming a trimming for every thing, from bonnets and hats to fine under lines A Widow’s Fine Downs. New York Letter In Washington Star. Some dresses of extraordinary beauty were made recently for a widow of thirty, who is about to enter the matrimonial state a second time. One was of irony satin with long plain train embroidered in a rich scroll pattern with pearls, white jet and heavy silk down the sides and round the bottom, which was edged with a narrow triple pleating lined interiorly with a double pleating of lace. The front was cut out in leaves, to a triple series, em broidered and laid over flounces of pompa dour lace, the width diminishing toward the bodice, which formed a very deep point, and the hoilowa of which upon the hips were filled in with embroidered leaves, below which were deep paniers of the lace. The bodice was cut square, embroidered in front, and surrounded with a standing fraise of exquisite lace. The sleeves were formed of a single puff of satin and double fall of lace, the lower one descending over the elbow. Another dress was a very delicate com bination of shrimp pink with a lovely bro cade on a tinted ground. The bodice of this dress was cut in one with the train. \vhich 4 was trimmed with irregular f ills of lace at the sides and softly puffed at the back. The entire front was covered with a net-work of pearl embroidery as light almost as lace and forming barred sections divided by twisted ropes of small seed pearls wiiicb cost as much in time and labor as jewels. Paris Faaliious New York Herald. The latest Paris colors are “rotten goose berry,” “decayed oranges,” “faded roses” and “grocers’ blue,” tiie latter being the color of the blue paper in which sugar is v,rapt>ed. Auctions are the Paris fashion. Yellow bonnets are still in favor in Lon don. The chic perfumes in Paris are amber, peau d’Espagne, mousseline and jonquil. The Cost of Dressing. London Society. A few years ago a lady acquired some fame in England by teaching her sisters how to dress upon £ls a year. A Parisian lady, now writing to the Gaulois upon asimilar subject, though with less economic views, places the sum total required at the modest figure of £1,900. And this presupposes the poxsession of a good wardrobe and a well-filled jewel case. TREASURES OF AN ACTRESS. Edwin Booth's Present to a Patriotic “First Old AVoiuan." New York Letter. There are old women, and old women. The old women of the stage are not as old as they make up to be. Take Aunt Louisa Eldridge, for instance; she lias been playing old women’s parts I don’t know bow long, yet I never meet her on the streets that I am not taken aback to see her look so young. At the closidg of Booth’s Theater on Mon day, Aunt Louisa was engaged to play tbe part of Lady C'apulet, a weak-minded old scold, not at all in her line. As the nurse, Aunt Louisa is fine, but she has no sympathy with Mother Capulet; and. though she took the part out of good nature, she didn’t play it witli much spirit. In the green-room, however, sue was quite herself. When I went in to say good bye to the old place I found her there with a mysterious box in tier hand, “1 want to show you what Mr. Booth gave me in Lon don,” said she. “You know I was over there* w.un te was acting, and ho used to run me übout being such an nmoi.w..., a. —.j earrv mv flag around and hang it up in my room wnerevei i went. Well, one day Mr. ami Mrs. Booth, poor thiug, ami Edwina called on me. and when they left Mrs. Booth handed me this box and aaid: ‘This is jb. present from Edwin.’ As soon as they were gone I cut the strings and opened the box; on top was a card: To Aunt Louisa, with the compliments of Edwin Booth,’ and here is what was inside,” and Mrs. Eldridge shook out a pair of black silk stockings with tiie American Hag embroidered on tiie instep. “I was awfully pleased at this attention from Mr. Booth, and as I was going to the theater that night I bought a bunch of flowers for him. After I got in my box I wrote on a card and tied it to tbe bouquet; ‘Witli Aunt Louisa’s compliments. I’ve got ’em on.’ Wiien he went off he said to Mrs. Booth: ’Mary, Aunt Louisa's here, and site’s got ’em on;' and he told her that he hardly dare look at me, for fear I’d stick my feet over tiie box of tiie railing for him to see. Bless my soul! tiow long ago it seems. Mrs. Bootli dead, Mr. Booth off in Germany, and poor Ertwina engaged to be married, aiid her betrothed not yet well enough to marry her," and Aunt Louisa put the toe of one of the precious stockings to her eye. “Hasn't young Vaux recovered yet?” I asked. “No, poor fellow. He lias never been right since he was smothered with gas. You remember. He didn’t turn it all off in his bed-room, and when they found him in the morning he was quite insensible. He was sent to Europe to Edwitia, but he didn’t, seem to know her. and lie lias been pretty had ever since. Sort of dusted. It is an awful blow to Edwina." And well it may be. Too Budden. Detroit Free Press. At the last meeting of the Lime-kiln Club Professor Toinkay Williams, chairman of the committee on astronomy, introduced a reso lution to the effect that tbe Lime-kiln Club held that if the moon was inhabited at ail it was by the colored race, and that every bouse was furnished with a piano, and every head of a family had a trotting horse and money in the bank. “It am too sudden, Professor, altogether too sudden.” replied Brother Gardener; “let de committee on astronomy fust be sartin dat de moon am inhabited.

A long scratching of the head, and n finnl answe r of "I’erfect,” owing to a whis pered prompting. “And how would you translate it then?” “Dunno.” “Why, put a ‘lias’ in it."

George Eliot was not a beautiful woman, but she bad beautiful bands, one of which was a little wider and pi umper than tbe other. In conversation with tier friends she would explain this peculiarity. It had a pleasing and honorable significance. When she was fifteen years of age she began (to use her own affecting words) “to be acquainted with the unspeakable grief of a last parting in the death of her mother.” Soon after her elder sister married and removed to anew home, and then her brother Isaac (the “Tom” of “The Mill on the Floss”) did the same. Being thus left alone with her father, who carried on a farm and lived in a rather large house, she became his housekeeper and general assistant. This was her own choice, ns her father was in liberal circumstances, and offered to hire a compe tent woman. He was dotinglv fond of his daughter, whom he used to call his “little wench,” using an ancient English word which was still employed in remote country places as a term of endearment. The future authoress, the first genius of her age. was now initiated into practical life and labored for some years chiefly with those beautiful hands of hers. She was dairy mistress, housekeeper, gardener’s as sistant, seamstress and occasionally even bore her part in the harvest field, without ever quite laying aside her books, and in winter studying hard. She would point, in late years, to her broad right hand and mention with some pride that its breadth bore testimony to the great number of cheeses nnd pats of butter she had made and assisted to make in her earlier life. She spent five years in this way before her father gave up his farm and office to his son. How much she derived from her prncticnl experience no reader of her works need to be told. Besides strengthing her mind and giving her an essential part of education it supplied her with the raw material of many of her most vivid and life-like scenes. To Persons About to Commit Suicide.

The Offering. On a green velvet hank Os n pure silvery stream, Thnt plays down the valley by breezes oaressed, LikO a heart wandering out with a treasure of love, Or the Joy of a soul on its way to rest: On a moss-cushioned bank That walled lip a stream, A bright little child, of a mother in heaven, lu the bridal of summer would thoughtlessly play, In the \yildnesß of mirth to the innocent given. On the cheek of the child. On the bank of the stream. Bat tlio beauty and bloom of deligbt-tnin tried hours; A necklace and garlands she daintily wove. While she held in her hand a bouquet of flowers. as she gz*d with a smile On the waters below With a mirror put there by a Nvtnph of the Sen, tihe flung to iter image a rich, fragrant blossom. And mm inured, “’Tig votive—l plucked it for tfleel” On the breast of the stream It fast floated away, Which the chibl in its jov failed to aee, And, lnnghiug, she gave, until her sweet treas ures Were ail flung away, one by one, in her glee. Was the child in a dream On that sot velvet bank? On a Chariot df Wonder her thought is con veyed, And the clouds of her eyes are dissolving in tears, Bright pearl-drops of soul, which her horror hath made. ‘'Give, O give back my flowers!*’ Broke the hush of the scene, As she shrieked from that tpiffht hunk of velvet and bloom; But t lie si ream danced along and laughed at her tears. And the hills answered back like a taunt from the tomb. And now on the bank Os that clear winding stream. When the days and the years have grown older and died. We hear the same call, “O give back my flow ers,” As If *t were tho child that once sobbed there aud cried, That child of the stream Is ill heaven, I know. But was once emblematic of Man since the Pall; Kac-h hour is a blossom, each week is a flow er. And Life's the bouquet in the hands of us all; Cast It not on the stream. Though its banks be of gold. Let each imd be a blessing, each flower be a prayer, Aud its fragrance useend to the Giver of Bloom, Who keepeth the motherless child in His care. —Ben Douglas In WHshington Star. GENTLEMANLY JOE.

Allu sions to his hat, necktie, or any other peculiarity of raiment w ere met by his eternal horse-laugh and an earnest recommendation that we should al low him to send down to the country and procure sac similes for all and each of us. “You hain’t got nothiu’spiev in Birchespool,” he would remark. “Lord, I know a place at *ome where you can get your collars spotted over with fox’s ’euds instead of bein’ plain white, which is a poor color at the best.” I think ha imagined it was nothing but want of moaev which induced us to refuse to pur chase these and other luxuries, and he was wont to throw' out allusions as to “it’s not costing us nothink,” as he jingled the loose ccin in his trousers pockets. Town life did not improve Joseph. On the contrary, lie deteriorated. During the first six months that tie honored the office with his presence, he not only lost none of the traits which he brought with him from his lather’s stables, but he grafted upon them everything which is objectionable in the city snob. The premonitory symptoms were a suspicious waxiness of the half donzen hairs which adorned his upper lip and the appearance of a large diamond ring with a greenish and vitreous hue. His next venture was an eve-glass; and lie finally launched forth into a light ulster, decorated with a large black check, which gave him the appearance of being inside a cage, with iiis head projecting at one end and his feet at the other. ‘‘lt’s a proper thing fora gent to wear,” he remarked. “When you see a get up like this, you know at a glance who’s a cad and who ain’t,” a sentiment which we all very cordially indorsed. In spite of all these peculiarities w'e learned not only to tolerate the gentleman, but even to like him. Indeed, we hardly knew how strong this feeling was until he betook him self into the country on a fortnight’s leave, carrying with him ulster, eye-glass, ring, and everything else which was calculated to im press the rustics and stamp him as tho nat ural associate of the “belted hurl.” He left 3uite a vacancy behind him. There was a ead level of equality about the five of us which deprived life of all its piquancy. Even Welstead, who had disliked him from the first, was fain to confess that he was good fun, and that he wished him back. After all, if his laugh was obtrusive, it was hearty, and his quaint, vulgar face had sincerity and good nature stamped upon every line of it. It was with unaffected pleasure that we heard a loud halloa in the street one morning justafter the opening of the doors, and saw our friend swaggering in, more ugly, more dressy, and, if possible, more vulgar than be fore. Newsome, our bank manager, was an excel lent fellow, and on ttie best terms with all of us. As we were all single men, with a very limited circle of friends in Birchespool, he kindly gave us the run of his house, and it was seldom that, a week passed without our enjoying a musical evening there, winding up with one of the choice little suppers for which Mrs. Newsome was celebrated. On these occasions, since distinctions would be invidious. Gentlemanly Joe used to be pres ent in all his glory, with a very large white frilled shirt front, and another vitreous fragment sparkling gloomily in the middle of it. This, with a watch-chain which reminded one of the chd|n cable of a schooner, was his sole attempt at ornamenta tion, for, as he used to saj r “It ain’t good form to show you’re richer than your neigh bors, even if you are. Too much like Sheeny, don’t you know?'’ Joe was an endless source of amusement to Cissy Newsome, a mischievous dark eyed lit tle brunette of eighteen, the sole child of the manager. We had all fallen in love with Cissy at one time or another, but had had to give it up on finding that her heart was no longer her own to bestow. Charles Welstead had known her from childhood, and the affec tion of early youth had ripened into love on both sides. Never was there a more fondly attached couple, nor one to whom the path seemed to lie so smoothly, for old Welstead had been Newsome’s personal friend, and Charles’s prospects were of the brightest. On these pleasant evenings which I have mentioned, it was great fun to see Joe dart ing into the drawing-room and endeavoring to secure a sent in the neighborhood of the young lady, with a profound disregard for any claims her parents might have upon tiis courtesy. If he attained the coveted posi tion. he would lean back in his chair with what he imagined to be an air of easy gentil ity, and regale her with many anecdotes of horses and dogs, with occasional reminis cences of the “big nobs” who had profes sional relations with his father. On such oc casions Miss Cissy would imitate him to his face in the most amusing way, looking all the time ns demure as a little mouse, while Welstead leaned up against the piano, not quite sure whether to laugh or be angry. Even lie usually broke down, however, when the two eame to discuss “hetiquette.” and Joe, in his character of gentleman, laid down his views as to when a “feller should raise ’is ’at,” and when not. The argument was generally closed by a burst of laughter from all of us, in which Joseph would join, though protesting loudly thut he was unable to see the joke. It is a proverbially dangerous thing to play with edged tools. I have never been sure whether Smith knew how matters stood between Welstead and the young lady. I am inclined to think that nt first he did not. Perhaps if someone had informed him of it then, he might have mastered his feel ings, and much misery have been averted. It was clear to us young fellows who had gone through the same experience how things were tending, but we held our tongues rather than spoil what we considered a cap ital joke. Cissy may have seen it, too, and given him a little mischievous encourage ment—at least, young ladies have the credit of not being blind in such cases. Certainly Smith pursued his hopeless suit with a vigor which astonished us. During business hours he lived n sort of day-dream, musing upon his perch like some cogitative fowl, and get ting into endless trouble over his accounts, while every evening found him interfering w ith Welstead’s tete-a tele at the high cor ner house in Eldon street. At last the crash came. There was no need to ask what had happened when little Joe slunk quietly into the office one morning with dishevelled hair, melancholy face and eves bleared with the wakefulness of a rest less nk'ht. We never learned the ptrticulars of his dismissal. Suffice it that he was in formed once and forever that a gap which there was no crossing lav between Miss Cißv Newsome and himself. He boro up bravely, and tried to ling his Rorrow to his heart, and hide it from the vulgar gaze of mankind, but lie became an altered man. What had been but a passing fancj with us had taknn root in his very soul add grown tliere. so that he, who had hardlyNtnown it was planted, was now unable to wrench it out. The ordeal lie had gone through chas tened him to a great extent from his vulgarity by toning down his natural spirits, and though he occasionally ventured upon a “Haw! haw!” it was painfully artificial, and a good deal more suggestive of u dirge than of merriment. The worst feature of his case was that every week iucreared the gloom which hung over him. We began to sus pect that our estimate of Iris character imd been a superficial one, and that .there were depths in the little man’s soul of whose exis tence we hud been ignorant. Four months had passed away. None of us had changed much during that time, with the exception of the Gentleman. We saw lit tle of him except in office hours. Where he spent the rest of the day was a mystery. Onoe I met him late at night in the docks, Mum bling along umong ring-bolts and chains, careless of the faut that u trip or alip might send him into otornity. Another time 1 saw TUB INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1883. a cloftked figure lurking in the shadow be side the house in Eldon street, which Hed round the corner on my approach. llis naturally unhealthy complexion had become so cadaverous that the sandy eyebrows and mustache stood out quite dark against it. His clothes hung loosely on his figure. The eye-glass was discarded. Even the once gor geous ring seemed to have assumed a somber and melancholy luster, as if in sympathy with the feelings of its owner, His manner hud lost all its old audacity, and become timid and retiring. I doubt if any of his rustic acquaintances would have recognized their gaudy Joseph in the shambling, unkempt figure which haunted the counting-house of Ducat, Gulden Ducat. The termination of Welstead’s engagement began to draw near. It had been arranged thutafter his marriage he was to he promoted to the management of another branch in a distant part of the country. This approach ing break-up in our little circle drew us all closer together, and made us the more sorry that the general harmony should be de stroyed by the unhappiness of one of our number. If we could have cheered him we would, but tliero was something in his look, for all ius snobbishness, which forbade even sympathy on a subject so sacred. He en deavored to put on a careless manner when he joined us all in wishing Welstead good luck at mid-day on the .Saturday preceding the Monday on which the wedding was to take place. We expected then that we should not see our fellow-clerk again until he ap peared in the character of bridegroom. How little did we guess the catastrophe which was impending! I remember that Saturday evening well. It was in January, and a clear wintry sky, with a suspicion of an aurora iu the northern quarter, spread over the great city. Tliere was a slight frost in the air, and the ground clinked cheerily under foot. One of my fel low clerks—Dilllan—and I kept by little Smith all day, for there was a wild look about his eyes which made us think it might he unsafe to leave him to his own devices. We dined at a restaurant, and afterward dropped into a theater, where Joe’s ghastly face in the stalls had a depressing effect upon the pantomime. We were walking slowly homeward after supper, it being then be tween 12 and 1, when we saw a great crimson glow upon the heavens, such as aurora never threw, and a fire engine dashed past us with a whistle and a clang, the big-boned, shaggy horses whirling it along at such a rate that we only caught a glimpse of a Hash of lights and a cluster of bearded, helmeted heads sus pended, as it were, in the darkness. 1 have always had a weakness for fires. There is something grand and ennobling in the irresistible sweep of a great volume of flame. I could moralize over a conflagration as Chateaubriand did over Niagara. Dullau is of the same bent of mind, and the gentle man was ready to turn anywhere from his own thoughts. We all began running in the direction of the blaze. At first we ran languidly, jogging along with many other people who were hurrying toward the same goal. Then, as we came into a quarter of the town which we knew well, we almost involuntarily quickened onrpace, until, tearing round a familiar corner nt racing speed, we pulled up, and gazed silent ly intajmeh other’s pale faces. There, not u yards from us, stood the high house of Eldon street. —the house under whose hos pitable roof we had spent so many happy hours—with the red flames licking round the whole lower story, and spurting out of every chink and crovice, while a dense pall of smoke obscured the upper windows and the roof. We dashed through the crowd together, and fought our way to the clear space on which the firemen were connecting their hose. As we reached them, a half-naked mail, bare-footed and dishevelled, was plead ing with the superintendent, clutching fran tically at his arm, and pointing to the durk clouds above him, already rent with jagged streaks of ascending flame. “Too short!” he screamed in a voice which we were horrified to recognize as that of Mr. Newsome. “It can’t be—it musti.’t be! There are more escape than one. Oh, man, man, she is burning—choking—suffocating,' Do something! Save her! My child—my beautiful child—the only one I have!” In the agony of his fear, he fell at the fire man’s feet ami implored his assistance. I was paralyzed by the horror of the thing. The situation was apparent at a glance. There, seen dimly through the smoke, was Cissy Newsome’s window, while beneath it, separated by a broad expanse of wall, was the head of the fire escape. It was too short by a good twelve feet. The whole lower story was one seething mass of fire, so that there seemed no }*ossibility of approach from that direction. A horrible feeling of impo tence came over me. There was no sign of movement at the young lady’s window, though crawling trails of flames had climbed up to it and festooned it round with their red garlands. I remember hoping in my heart that she had been suffocated in her sleep, ami had neverawoke to Lhe dreadful reality. I have said that we were paralyzed for the moment. The spell was rapidly broken. “This way, lads!” cried a resolute voice, and Charlie Welstead broke in among us with a fireman’s hatchet in his hand. We pushed after him as he rushed round to the rear of the house, where there was a door usually mod by the servants. It was locked, but a couple of blows shattered it to pieces. We hurried up the stone kitchen stairs, with the plastering falling in strips all round us, and the Hags so hot that they burned into the soles of our boots. At the head of the stairs there was a second door, thicker and stronger than the first, but nearly dharred through by the fire. “Give me room!” gasped Welstead, swing ing round his ax. “Don’t do it. sir,” cried a stalwart fireman, seizing him by the wrist; “there’s flames on the oilier side of that door.” “Let me go!” roared Charley. “We’re dead men if you break it!” “Let me go!” “Drop it, sir; dropdt!" Tliere was a momentary struggle, and the ax clattered down upon the stone steps. It had hardly time to fall before someone caught it up. I could not sec who for tiie dense blue reek of smoke. A man dashed past the fireman, there was crash of a parting lock, and a great lick ot flame, like a hound unleashed, shot out and enveloped us. I felt its hot sear as it coiled round my face, and I remember nothing more until 1 found invself leaning aguinst the door-post, breath ing in the fresh sweet air of night, while Welstead, terribly burned, struggled furi ously with the fireman, who held him back to prevent him from reaseending the stair case, which was now u solitj sheet of fire. “Hold back, .sir!” I heard the honest fellow growl; “ain’t one life thrown away enough? Tnal little cove—him with the gaiters—the same that broke the door—he’s gone. I seed him jump right slap into the middle of it. lie won’t never come back no more?” Together we led Welstead around to the front once more, ull three staggering like drunken men. The flames were higher than before, but the upper story and the roof still rose above them like a brack island in a sea of fire. There was Miss Cissy’s window dark and unopened, though the woodwork around it was in a glow. There was no sign of the flutter of a female dress. llow terrible it was to .stand and wait for the end, powerless to stretch out a saving hand. Poor Welstead leaned against me sobbing like a child. A ghastly longing came into my heart that I might see flames in that room, that I might know it to be all over, and her pain and trouble at an end. Then I heard the crash of glass falling outward, and 1 bent my heud to avoid seeing the very thing that 1 had wished for; and then there broke upon my earn shout from ten thousand voices, so wildly exultant and madly jubilant that I never hope to hear the like again. Welstead and I looked up. Balanced upon the narrow ledge outside the window I had been watching, there was standing a man, framed as it vvero in fire. Ills clothes were hanging around him as a few tattered, charred rags, and his very hair was in a blaze. The draught caused by knocking out the window had encouraged the flames, so that a lurid curtain hung behind him. while the ground was fully seventy feet below. Yet there, on the thin slip of stone, with eternity on each side of him, stood Joe Smith, the un couth and ungrammatical, tying two sheets together, while women sobbed below and men shouted, and every hand was raised to bless him. He staggered and disappeared so suddenly that we feared he had fallen, but lie was back again in an instant, not alone this time, for the girl he had come to save was siune over his shoulder. The brave fellow seemed to have doubts of the strength of his impromptu rope, for he rested his own weight upon the nearly red hot water pipe*during those t velve perilous feet, supporting Miss Newsome by the arm which clutched the sheet. Slowly, very slowly, they descended, but at last his feet touched the topmost rung of the escape. Was it a dream that I heard a voice high above me say, “Hall right, missy,” before a burst of cheering rang out which drowned every othor sound. Miss Cissy, more frightened than hurt, wa3 delivered over into her half-distracted father’s care, while I helped to lift Gentleman Joe from the escape. He lay panting upon the ground, burned and scorched, his sporting coat tattered and charred, while, strangely enough, the prismatic necktie and horse-shoe pin had escaped the general destruction, so as to present an absurd oasis amid the desert around. He lay without speaking or moving until Cissy Newsome was led jvast him on her way to a cab. Then he made a feeble gesture with his hand, which indicated that he wished to speak with her, and she stooped over him. No other ear but mine caught that whisper. “Don’t fret, miss,” ho said, “’cause it was the wrong boss came in. He’s a good feller —a deal better than me—and did as much, but hadn’t the luck.” A vulgar little sy>eech, but Cissy’s eves got very moist as she listened, and I’m not sure that mine didn’t too. The office was sadly reduced after that. With Welstead and tiie Gentleman on the sick list, there were only four of us at the desk, and the reaction from the excitement had left us anything but lively. I can re member only one remark ventured upon during that first day. The dreary scratch ing of pens had lasted unbroken for over an hour, when little Sparkins looked up from his ledger. “I suppose you would call him a gentle man, after all,” he said. “Avery much better one than you will ever be,” growled Dullan, and we relapsed into the scratching of pens. I was present at the wedding of Charley Welstead and Cissy Newsome, when, after a long delay, it w*as finally celebrated. By the original arrangement I was to have figured as a best man, but my post of honor was handed over to a certain very ugly young man, whose appearance suggested the idea that lie had spent the la9t few days in a mustard poultice. Unromantic as it may seem, this youth not only went through his duties with ull the nonchalance in the world, but danced at the subsequent festivities with the greastest vigor and grace. It is com monly rumored that this activity of his, com bined with sundry interesting anecdotes con cerning horses and dogs, have so prevailed upon the heart of a susceptible young lady, that there is every probability of our having a repetition of the marriage ceremony. Should it be so, I trust that I may at least revert to my original position as best man. Negro Camp-Meeting Soug. Ole sister Mary (trapped her pride.

The demeanor of the Queen toward lie. family is extraordinary, and to ordinary mortals incomprehensible. Irreproachable as a wife and mother, except in letting her children acquire a German accent, she now keeps them at a distance in a very odd way. Not one of her children, except the Princess Beatrice, who is condemned to seclusion with her mother, can visit her without permis sion. Among themselves they are loving enough and extremely pleasant and free-and easy together. Prince Christian, wiio looks very old to be the husband of the buxom princess, is on the best terms with the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburg and the Duke of Albany; and the Duke of Teck, hating his dull stories, learned, I should think, from the late prince consort, gets on well with everybody, thanks to his own good temper and his charming wife, the Princess Mar>', otherwise “the Queen of the Jingoes.” But all of these, including the Prince of Wales, arc at an immeasureable distance from the Queen, who is lonely. I must per force conclude, because she wishes to be so, or lias rather encircled herself with a hedge of etiquet which she i9 now powerless to break. That she is absolute monarch in her own family, as she is in her own house, is beyond all doubt, but there is no question that she ha.* not now a single friend to whom she can speak openly and unreservediy. The Solitude of Servants. B. J. Burdette. Say you are a well-to-do tradesman or me chanic, you can afford to employ a servant to niuke life easier for your wife. Well, that servant lives alone. Your wife and yourself discourage “followers.” You don’t like her to have much company of either sex in the kitchen. Your wife cannot associate with her. Tiie kitchen is her sitting room; the smallest and most remote room in the house is her bedroom. From a. m. until 9 i*. m or earlier and later may be, are her hours of work. In all that time she speaks when she is spoken to, mid she is spoken to when there are orders for her. just as convicts arc ul lowed to sneak in a penitentiary. Well, now. the lonely creature in the kitchen is a woman. Do you wonder she wants to go to the jolly butcher and the grocer’s boy for a little gos sip? Do you wonder that she flirts with the policeman? Do you wonder thnt when she goes to the ball she stays until some time the next day? She sits down three times a day and eats her tneals in solitude. So ut terly alone that she can hear herself swallow. I wonder that she doesn’t go mad. The man who works at the lowest, occupation lias an easier time than that. The man who cleans the street lias company of his own class, lie oats his dinner with his fellow-1 a borers. The ragpicker meets rival ragpickers every clay. I don’t wonder the house servant stipulates for company and evenings out. A Welcome Relief. Atlanta Constitution.

Riley. fe A Climpse of Pan. I caught but a glimpse of him. Summer was here, And 1 strayed from the town aud its dust aud beat, And walked iu a wood, while the moon was near. Where the shadows were cool, and the atmos phere Was laden wh fragrance stirred by my feet From t .ii niossoms that trembled clear In tiie grasses green aud sweet. And I peered through a vista of leaving trees. Tressed with loug tangles of vines that swept To the face of a river that answered these With vines iu the wave like the vines tu the breeze. Till the yearning lips of tho ripples crept And kissed them, with quavering eestacies, And gurgled, and laughed aud wept. And there, like a dream in a swoon, I swear l saw Pan lying, his limbs in the dew And the shade,and his face lu tho dazzle and glaro Os the glad sunshine; while everywhere. Over, across, and around him blew Filmy dragon-flies hither aud there, Aud little white butterflies, two aud two. In eddies of odorous air. O, Pan Is the goodliest god, I wist. Os all of the lovable go ds that be!— For his two strong bauds were the first, to twist From the depths of the current, through spatter and mist, The long, lithe r that he pressed In glee To his ni" i-ous mouth, as he chuckled and kissed Their souls iuto melody. And the wanton wind 9 are in love with Pan; They 101 l lu the shade with him day by day. And betimes as beast, and betimes as man. They love him as only the wild winds can,— Or sleeking the coat of his limbs oue way, Or brushing his brow with the looks they fun To the airs he loves to play. And he leans by the river in gloom and gleam. Blowing his reeds as the breezes blow -12 is cheeks puffed out, and his eyes in a dream, And his hoof-tips over the leaves in the stream, Tapping the time of the tunes that flow As sweet as the drowning echoes seem To his rollicking wraith below.

The long winter mouths, ana tho glare of the snows; Tho little red ribbon the ring and tho rose! And never a glimmer of suu iu the skies As bright as the light of her glorious eyes! Dreams only are true; but they fade aud are gone, An I her face Is not here when I waken at dawn; Tiie little red ribbon, tho rlug aud the rose, Alt, all L give up from my wealth of repose! l am weary of waiting, and weary of tears, Aua my heart tires, too, all these desolate years.

Aud his bare ankles dirty, too, as they; Cross-Uutohlngs of ihu .citie, in array Os feverish stripes, hint vividly to me Os woody pathwuys winding endlessly Along the creek, where even yesterday lie plunged his shrinking body—gaspod and shook; Yet called the water “warm,” with never lack Os joy. Aud so, hull enviously I look Upon this graceless barefoot aud his track,— HD toe stubbed—aye, bis big toe-nail kuockcd buck Like uuto ilie clasp of an old pocket-book. B The Man in the Bloou.

A man being convicted of bigamy before Mr. Justice Maule, the following dialogue took place: Clerk of Assize—" What have you to say why judgment should not be passed upon you according to law?” Prisoner —“Well, my Lord, my wife took up with a hawker and ran away five years ago. and I have not seen her since, and 1 married this woman last winter.” Mr. Justice Maule—“l will tell you what you ought to liuve done, and if you say you did not know. I will tell you that the law conclusively presumes that you did. You ought to have instructed your attorney to bring an action against the hawker for crim inal conversation with your wife. That would have cost you about X4OO. When you had recovered substantial damages against the hawker, you would have instructed your proctor to sue in the Ecclesiastical Courts for a divorce a mensa et tlioro. That would have cost you £2OO or £JOO more. When you hud obtained a divorce a mensa et tlioro, you would have to appear by counsel before the House of Lords for a divorce a vinculo matrimonii. The bill might have been opposed in all it.s stages iu both Houses of Parliament; and altogether, you would have to spend about £I,OOO or £1,200. You will probably tell me that you never had 1,000 farliiiugs of your own in the world; hut, prisoner, that makes no difference.

No mat ter what betides. I shall always love you, and your smiles and caresses be ever to me as the gentle dew that kisses into new life the parched and withered flowers of an Au gust day. Nothing in the wide, wide world can ever shake that love.” “Not even misfortune, or a bitter disap pointment?” he asks. “Nothing!” exclaims the girl. “But why do you ask?” and her ruddy cheeks become ashen with a sudden fear. “What has hap pened?” “Be brave, my precious one,” be murmur?, while Reine sits there in silence, every fea ture strained in tense agony, awaiting his next words. “We are engaged for the uext dance, I be lieve,” lie says. “Yes.” is the answer. “It is the racquet?” “It is.” “I cannot dance with you. my darling.” “Why?” she asks, rising from the fautovul* and lookitm at him in ghastly horror, “Because,” he replies, in low, agonized tones, “you have stepped on my corn,** —From “Sylvie Smitberson’a Soiree/’ by Murat Halstead.
