Mr. IlLBBELL wrote Mr. Curtiss letter very full of “bounce” in the coarse of which he said: I am willing to meet von on this question any where or at any time, and U> unite with you in requesting the president to ask an opinion of the attorney-general. Jf you desire any other form of action in any tribunal Which can give immediate consideration of the point I will join you i in testing the eonadneas of the circular, ! and I invite yon to this mode of settlement a« both more manly and more honorable j than your attempt to confuse the action or 1 alarm the minds of the employes alluded

And the stalwart press set op a yell “O sweet Georgians, knock that chip off.” “Certainly” replied Mr. Curtis and he j coolly invited Mr. Hubbell into court on i an agreed case, asking him to designate any I he liked and make up the issue at or.ce. j Now Mr. Hubbell with a nervous, gravei yard sort ot laugh, so to speak, says in an interview in the New York Tribune: ‘ No; I have not yet selected a victim for i the civil-service men to operate on, aud I don’t intend to.” Of couse he don’t. He was only joking. “By the Lord Hal,” says Falstaff, “was it for me to stab the Lord’s annointed? Beware instinct, Hal, I was a cow- | &rd on instinct.” Faktatl Hubbell j has no desire fo do anything except play buliy at a safe distance. Vale, Hubbell I Where be your war dance and your cries for a “manly,” “honorable” course, now? CUKHKNT COMMENT. This week the encampment begins—a great thing for Indianapolis. The outcry against political assessments seems more general this year than ever before. It is significant. It shows an awakening sense of the degradation of the spoils system, and thus presages an effort for its purification. The only men who are di‘satisficd with President Arlhur are those who want him to make mistakes and those who have not secured what they want.—(Chicago Inter-Oceau. We do not believe there are any men who want President Arthur to make mistakes. If you will turn to the pages of the press of this country, last fall, you will see a universal expression of good will, trust, and an earnest purpose to plane the board oil smooth and begin again. Garfield’s grave closed over any piast dissatisfaction with Arthur. He has been the architect of bis own fortune. ('hicago’s city library now has -C.QOO volumes, and $50,000 were spent last year in book purchases for it. Mr. Wanauiaker who declined to be Don ('ameron’s congressman-at-large is wry much like the rest of us, the Philadelphia Record thinks. “After due consideration he could not see where he was going to land; so he didn’t embark.” The shifting of the mechanic arts in this country from the native American or American born of foreign parents to the hands of foreign born workmen, is illustrated by the Chicago Staats /.eitung which says:
THE DAILY NEWS. WEDNESDAY, JCNE 28 1882. Decokatk. The scholar in politics carries a knotty | club. “Didn’t know he would fignt,” says Hubbell. “I thought he was only a ‘vague theorist.’ ” Only two more days before the encampment will begin. The prize drills at Louisville will intensify the interest here. The scholar in politics, it is thought, has been practicing in the gymnasium lately, ( and Hubbell and the like have a notion that he has taken to keeping a bull dog. It is said at Washington that the appeals from republicans all over the country for the president to take some step to counteract the bad eflects of^HubbeU’s campaign assessment blackmail, have become so strong that he has concluded to notify employes that they need not contribute unless they want to. Civil service reform is marching on. All accounts point to a great prohibition victory in Iowa. The effect without doubt will be to greatly strengthen that movement in the many states, including this one, where it is at various stages of progress. Partial prohibition has existed in Iowa since 1858. In 1855 total prohibition was enacted, but three years afterward the wine and beer interests in the weight of the reaction, succeeded in having the prohibitory clause amended as to them, and they were henceforth allowed under license. Under cover of these wine and beer licenses, whisky and all sorts of strong drink nave been unlawfully sold. The argument which in 1858 won toleration for wine and beer was the common one, that their use was conducive to true temperance. But in practice it has been not so; they were used for cover of the sale of whisky, and now all intoxicants are likely to be forbidden. An esteemed contemporary says: An officeholders’ class, set apart, deprived by law of their rights as citizens, walled in by statutes and prevented from exercising their manhood, means dry rot in the government, etc. We agree with that wholly. Here we have an officeholders' class set apart by favoritism, being the picked henchmen and hangeraon of the favored few of the one party which for the time is dominant, an aristocracy as dose and capricious as the coart of any Persian shah; and they are prevented from exercising their manhood by moral intimidation and bulldozing, being torced to part with a specified portion of their earnings,and to “work” for the party willy nilly. They are deprived of all independence of choice or volition of action ; are, in fact, n met army of subordinatee obeying implicitly commands from

Like slavery when it pushed itself into a free territory, the liquor traffic is not con- j tent to Le im alone under time-honored metes and bounds, but asserts its right to j the largest liberty, the greatest privileges ' and the most unquestioned immunity. The people will meet these arrogant de- j n auds as they met the high-handed en j croaehments of slavery, and the result of | the encounter is not doubtful.—'Logan- . sport Journal. The Snnday letter delivery movement i doesn't move. It meets with very little | favor in any part of the country.

Farels-n News. The situation in Egypt grows more critical hourly. Arab! Pasha declares thit the natives implicated in the riot in Alexandria, on the 11th Inst., shall not be punished unless the Europeans who fired upon the rioters are also punished. The consular cfficials have advised Englishmen who desire to remain there to take up tneir quarters in the eastern telegraph ofiice. as news might arrive at any moment from Constantinople which might cause a popular outbreak. There have been fresh murders of Christians in the Delta villages. Several murders were committed near Beuka. The intention is expressed of seizing Europeans as hostages. In the commons, last evening, the Irish me mbers violently attacked the new land corporation in Ireland. Sexton declared it was a diabolical scheme for depleting the population. Dillon implored the government to do something to bring about a a truce in Ireland. Trevelyan, chief secretary for Ireland, replied that the government would not interfere with any private association of landlords or tenants as long as it kept within the law.

Last year 7,000 were killed, and fully as many will be killed this year. The death is the painless one of being smothered with charcoal fumes. Batches of about 100 dogs each are driven into an air tight compart nu-nt, the charcoal fumes are turned on and in fifty seconds every dog is dead, and hardly one with a spasm and none with

(icorge William Curtis can no* rise and de liver one of his scholar.y speeches on politics and secure ten re pectful hearers where he could with difficulty find one a few years ago. — [Philadelphia Chronicle-Herald. And there is great hope in the faet; and, by the way, those whom it may interest can not do better than send tor the New York Tribune containing Mr. Curtis’s address here alluded to, which he delivered recently at Brown university. Last year Bavaria sent to this country 780,000 corsets and expects to send twice that number this year. The Bavarians excell in corsets and beer. I’nder the forestry laws of Kansas the Leavenworth Times says there have been planted in that state 05,000 acres in trees. About fi,000 acres have been planted in black walnut, and will make handsome returns in eight or nine years. What do these quacks know about Guiteau’s insanity? He knew just what he did. He had a motive and knew the consequences. Is not this responsibility? It merely makesagood subject to hang. Was it an insane delusion mat God directed him to remove Garfield to bring in Arthur? This rests only on his own word. And as he relates it, the delusion was quite sane. He thought a change of presidents would he good tor the stalwarts, and would give aroiher chance to those who failed to get office trom Garfield. He was not singular in that idea. Many had that sort of an in sere delusion. Many that have drawn priz-s in the lottery of assassination have the insane delusion still that the removal of Garfield was a good thing although they may not have been willing to take tie risk of removing him by murder.—[Cincinnati Gazette. It would be the very madness of the moon to believe that the stalwart sot which is uncompromisingly at war with political | manhood among republicans in the north | could be safely trusted as the true friend, ! stay and upholder of political manhood j among democrats in the south. The meta 1 phorical wolf in sheep’s clothing the more ' successfully to raven, is conceivable, but J : an essentially evil nature or evil system-| being reformed by indulgence, develop- ! ment and enlargement is an impossible ? conception. To swap off bourbontsm for j Btalwartism in any form would be an ex- ! change of witch and devil. The two are in j some sense reciprocating and convertible. The cause of true political reform and of thorough political emancipation demands the elimination of both.—[Galveston (Texas) News. Reform in the civil service and in the management of political organization will have to precede any decided improvement in the quality of oar statesmanship. Tnis reform is in the interest of the people, and is appreciated by scholars. Its promotion furnishes an opportunity for the fullest exercise of their influenceand their power. —[New York Times. Back of all these manifestations of popular upheaval, becoming clearer as the needs and grievances of the people find intelligent voice and formulation, is at least one underlying cause—the growing
Hie Vincennes Scandal. (Terre Haute Uazette.] Is not the University of Vincennes, and has it not for the past six months shown itself to be a curse to the state by reason of its furnishing the instrumentalities for prosecution of this nefarious and corrupting policy lottery traffic? If these teachers with whose names a foul scandal has (teen licked were guilty of tw ice as much as has been charged, instead of being what their reputations have proclaimed them to be; would they still not be too good for a university sustained in part as this one is? Aud if there is any particularity to be shown in the matter on the basis of reputation to be lost, are not these teachers, even if they are what their enemies charge, running much more risk than the university of Vincennes? Tan any teadjer have a reputation so soiled as to he an unworthy yokefellow of an institution which is in part sustained by the wages of a sin which is corrupting the morals of the youth of the whole state? Being in an investigating mood ought not the board of trustees of the University of Vincennes to cultivate
introspection?
Intermt! Kevenue Taxation. The house yesterday passed the bill to regulate internal revenue. It abolishes the tax on bank checks, capital and deposits; on matches,perfumery, medicinal preparations, and other articles imposed by schedule A, following section 5,457 of the revised statutes. The tax on cigars is fixed at $4 per 1,000; on cigarettes weighing not more than tnree pounds per 1,0(»0, seventy five cents per 1,000; on cigarettes w« ighmg more than three pounds per 1,000, $-10 per 1,000.

Work nutl Wages.
The railroadsare making head wayagainst the freight handlers’ strike, and at Jersey City freight is being forwarded and received without much difficulty. An official of the Erie road says that when the men left the company they made no statement of their wants, and even now seem alraid to ask for w hat they want. The Jersey City board of aldermen iiave officially indorsed the strike, end called on the railroads to sjieeOtly and honorably settle the troubles liv conceding the wages asked. The New York board of trade nave appointed a com miitee for the purpose of soliciting subscriptions to institute a suit against the railroads for damages for foi’ure to perform their duties as common carriers. Tne committee will have a conference with Commissioner Fink on Friday. They have signified their willingness to jiay an increase of five cents on the 100 pounds, more than enough to cover the demands of
the striking men.
The strike of the printers at Bufialo "resulted iu their utter defeat, because of the adverse current of public sentiment.
Training Among the Greeks. The art of training is an ancient ouft, and in early days among the Greeks, was quite simple. The regimen consisted chiefly of cheese and figs, and ttie body was hardened by exposure u> all sorts of weath er, and by frtquent plunges into cold water, while oil was daily rnhbed oyer the joints to make them supple. Tne decadence of sports began with the Greeks when, through niceties of training, the chances of competition could not be taken by the peojtle at large, and athletic rivalry became purely professional. Athletic sports lose their chief value where skill in them is expected only from those who are paid for exhibiting it, while all others are made either idle lookers on or fooash bettets on the^result. The Vitality of Seeds. Seeds found with coins of the Emperor Hadrian in an ancient barrow in England, and a heliotrope from a Roman tomb 1,500 years old and more, vegetated aud grew vigorously. The same was the case wuth wheat, rose and clover seeds found with an Egyptian mummy, and Indian corn frfm a Petuviau mummy 1,200 years old. There would seem to tie no known limit to the duration of the principle of life in vegetable seeds. The Chrlstiancy Scandal Closed. I Washington special.! The celebrated Chrlstiancy divorce case fell through to-day. Mrs. Christiancy withdrew her cross-bill through her couneei. As her attempts to establish cruelty upon the j>art of her hu-b»nd have been so thoroughly broken down, her o-vn counsel have thrown up the case. Tnis will let Mr. Christiancy out, and ends the matter so far as the public is concerned.
A Happy Thought The British Medical Journal says that a castor oil plant was placed accidentally in in a roc.m swarming with flies, but almost immediately the flies disappeared, and flies were found under the plant or clinging to its leaves, dead. The leaves are said to give out a property deadly to insects. Who knows but that the mosquito, too, may succumb to castor oil. Mocha Cottoe Doomed. Is is probabie that before long the famous Mocha coflee will disappear from the markets of the world, though doubtless some inferior variety will usurp its name. The imports have been declining for some time past, and there are only a handful of people It ft in the province where it has been produced.

Green Williams, a colored man of Indi- I anapolis, found Lis fugitive wife and her children at Sheibyville, under the care of Louis Chumley. The guilty parties were bound over to the circuit court. The barn and cribs of George J. Et/ler, abt ut two miles east of Salem, were burned the other night, together with a tine threshing machine. It was the work of an incendiary. Loss, $2,000, and partly insured. The Franklin Democrat office at Bro tkviile has been sold to George E. Downey, ofRisitg Sun, and Edgar R. tjuick, of Brookvnle. The price paid for it was $4,000. Their first pajier will be issued next Thursday. As a train on the Evansville nnl Terre Heute railroad was coming into Fort Branch, it ran over a man named W. J. Withers, cutting off both legs below the knees. He was taken to Evansville and died shortly after. While tearing down a house in Fort Wayne, workmen discovered a large number of jdaster of Paris moulds for the manufacture of counterfeit money, supposed to have belonged to a gaog that once infested that part of the state. The preparations that are being rapidly pushed forward are about completed for the Grand National Temperance camp meeting tiiat isto commence in Seymour on Friday of this week. The outlook is encouraging in the highest degree. During a recent thunder storm lightning struck again in the hillside above Kimmel's brick yard, at Madison. There is one tree on the hill that has been struck twentyfive times in the last forty years, aud yet is alive, though covered with scars. Dr. 11. C. McDowell, a member of the Indiana general assembly from Aden county, indicted at Fort Wayne for producing an abortion, has been found not guiity bv a jury, under instructions from Judge O'Rourke, of the circuit court. Peter Law, aged twenty-three years, living in Louisville, was killed on the Air Line railway, near Hartford, Crawford county, Monday afternoon. He was in the employ of the eotujiany at Miller s Hollow, er>cting a bridge, aud a heavy piece ot iron fell upon him. A house belonging to Aaron Frazer, three miles south of Rushville, and occupied by Dick Burton, caught fire and burned down Sunday night. The household furniture was about all saved. The loss is about $1,5C0, with an insurance of $500 in the Rush County Farmers. In the special term of the Morgan circuit court, presided over by Judge Adams, to try the case of the commissioners or Morgan county vs. J. N. Gregory, ex-treasurer, suit on his official bond, the court rendered a verdict in favor of defendant for $410.(55, thus vindicating Mr. Gregory. 'Hiring a heavy thunder-storm the lightning struck a gate-post at the residence of Mis Bissot, in Bedford, just after that la Jy had passed out on her way to a neighbor’s ht use. She was considerably stunned by the shock. Usd she been a second or two la'er in going through the gate, sne would have be on killed. The wheat crop of Howard county never was better in quantity and quality. Corn is sinall, but is good color and clean and splendid stand, and with favorable weather fr< m this on will make a big crop. Oats ami IIhx never were better, and the croji is laige. Potatoes, cabbage and all kinds of vegetation are booming. A probable fatal accident occurred at Lotus, Union county, yesterday. Edwin Gardner and son, J. M. Paddock and Fred Coleman ail were on a seiffold, when it fell i recipitating them all to the ground. The two Gardeners and Coleman were seriou-ily in jured, and J. M.

Samuel Payne, of Monitor, about eigiit miles from Lafayette, was arrested on a charge of stealing nine bu-ih-els of corn from Eli Knickerbocker^ neighbor. A preliminary trial was had before Esquire Weaver, aud the reverend gentleman was bound over in the sum of $150 to stand trial. Mr. Payne is a United Brethr* n jireacher, but was formerly a Methodist divine, aud wag several years ago arrested on a charge of stealing w*ood. Augustus F. wlkes, of Monroe county, and John Jones of Morgan county, on Saturday became involved in a quarrel, in which it appears Fowlkes was tne aggressor, but did not tight. On Monday morning Junes went to where Fowlkes was at woik < .wtieu they renewed the quarrel. Jones advanced with knife in hind, swearing he would kill Fowlkes, when Fowlkes seized a j.irce of a fence rail and dealt him a blow on the head, from the eflect of which he died within forty minutes. Fowlkes gave himself uj> and will probably be acquitted. W'tliie Saunders, a colored man of 23 or 24 years, a patient in the marine wards of St. Mary’s hotpit&J, at Evansville, while being put under the influence of chlorolotm, escaped from the five men who were holding him on the opertRing table, leajied out of the th rd story window with a single bound and fell upon the hard pavement below. He was found to have received a compound, comminuted and complicated fracture of au elbow* joint, a compound fracmie of a thigh bone, several severe bruises about the face and head and probably severe internal injuries.

Mr. Ruskiu begs his friends not to write to hiiu letters requiring an answer, sawing: “I vmture to hint to friends who tony at any ume be anxious about me, that the only (rustworthy evidences of my health are my writings; and that it is a prettier attention to sn old man to read what he w-istn s to say, and can say without effort, than to mpuire him to answer vexing questions on geheral subjects, or to add to his day’s appointed labor the burden of accidental and unnecessary correspondence.” Intelligence has been received in New York that Charles Henry Y'orston, aged seventy years, formerly of the firm of Virtue & Yoratou, puohshers, No. 15 Dey street, New Y'ork, who took passage by the steamship Somerset, of the- Bristol line, on her last voyage from New York city, committed suicide by jumping overboard, when the ship had been abode five days at sea. He was last seen on the tith instant by the second officer pacing the deck excitedly; the next morning his cabin was found to be empty. A letter addressed to his wife at New Brunswick, told the story of ihe suicide. In ms note he said that his “watch, ring, clothes and other valua* bits” were left at the office in Dey street, and that be was on his ‘‘funeral trip.” A Guman satirist has produced the following faOle: “There was once four flies, and they were hungry one morning. Ttie first settled upon a sausage and made a meal. But he speedily died of intestinal inflammation, for the sausage was adulterated with aniline. The second fly breakfasted u ton flour, and forthwith succumbed to contraction of the stomach, owing to an inordinate quantity of alum. The third fly was slaking nis thirst with the contents of the milk-jug.'when cramps suddenly convulsed bim'7 / and he gave up the ghost, a victim to chalk adulteration. Seeing this, thefiurthfly, muttering to himself, ‘the sooner it’s over the sooner to sleep,’ alighted upon a moistened sheet of paper exhibiting the inscription, ‘fly poison.’ He drank to his heart’s content, growing more more vigorous and cheerful at every mouthful. Even the fly poison was aoulterated. One of the most eminent of living investigators into tne phenomena of optics is M. J. Plateau, of the Royal academy of Belgium, who for fhe last forty years has been so totally blind that he may direct his face to the sun without being sensible of the least objective clearness. His researches into the phenomena of light have excited the admiration of his fellow scientists; his experiments on the wonderful colors of soap bubbles are beautiful. M. Plateau has just published a little paper on the sensations which he experiences in his eyes, w Inch is of practical value. He states that fie has constantly in his eyes the sensations of light. His field of vision is divided into spaces, of which some are very clear and others sombre, or almost black. These spaces are not precisely limited, but run into each other at their borders; but what is remarkable is that their general tint alternates between gray and reddish. “We were teized a lew mornings ago by a terrible pain in the left shoulder and neck,” says w. F. Cook, Esq., editor of the Canajoharie (N. Y.) Courier. “Having been favorably impressed for some *ime with the virtue of an article recommended for all sudden paius, and especially rheumatism, we thoroughly rubbed the offending part, and in less time than we write it relief came.” The article in question is St. Jacobs Oil, and we are loud iu its praise.

HANLAN’S HOME. Hanlan, the champion oarsman of the world, was born in Toronto, Canada, and won his first arr ateur race on Toronto Bay. Afterwards he made his name famou^ by hla great vicory at the Centennial in 1876. Since then he has defeated every oamnan of prominence, not only in this country, but from the antipodes of Austria to the shorts of Great Britain, and he now patiently waits tor the next man who is to attempt to make him lower his standard of victory, which has been so long waiving in triumph. Any one taking even a cursory glance at Haulan, and who notes his clear, brignt eye. his pure skin and well-knit frame, would be convinced that purity of blood and robust health were his birthright, hence the basis of his strength and endurance. Purity of blood is unquestionably the seat of life aud health, and to obtain it and keep it, nothing in the world can compare to Burdock Blood Bitters. Mr. J. Marsh, Bank of Toronto, Ont., writes; “Biliousness and dyspepsia seem to have grown np with me: having been a sufferer for years, I have tried many remedies, but with no lasting result until I used your Burdock Blood Bitters. They have been truly a blessing to me, and I can not speak loo highly of them." C. Blacket Robinson, proprietor of the Canada Presbyterian. Toronto, Ontario,writes: "For several years I suffered greatly from oft-recurring bilious headaches. I used your Burdock Blood Bittei> with the happiest results, and I now feel myself better in health than for years past. I cheerfully recognize the sterling character of your preparation.” Sold by all druggists. (1)
