THE PALLADIUM.

WEDNESDAY. APRIL 21, 1875. CITY Old Huaaerlkera. Of those who are now living and residing in our city and vicinity, whose names are on the first subscription list of subscribers to the Paiaadicm. and who are now subscribers, having taken it a little over, forty-four years, we publish the following roll ol honor all of whom answer promptly to their nanes, and "shell out" the little amount of wealth (f 1.50) it uow takes to have a record kept fcr themselvs of the past, and a like praise-worthy record kept for others for the nextPORTT years who may become subscribers on our books.' Now is tho time to subscribe for the Palladium, in order to be the paying reader of a good paper, and, at the same time be in company, and on the same "roll of honor," with the old veteran? of our city and vicinity the very best and most substantial men ' the land-marks of the past, whose longevity (may we not add ?) has been promoted by the fact of having been constant readers of a paper that has kept the polar-star of bight as its guide, and has kept the faith as a . humble advocate of ."equal and.exac justice to all men," as a Whig and a Republican journal for forty-four years. We do not desire to appear egotistical, and would much rather have praise from another source than our own "lips;" but wo submit this , fact these names as the beat evidence possibly to offer of the appreciation in which the Palladium is held, by publishing a list of those who have been patrons of it ever since T. J. Larsh started it in 1832. Read the honored names : Mrs. Elizabeth Starr, Daniel P. Wiggins, Cornelius Ratliff, Cyrus Wright, Mark E. Reeves, Col. Enoch Railsback, Joseph M Bulla, Achilles Williams, Jesse Evans, Nathan Mor gan, F. W. Robinson, William Cheesman, Stephen Elliott, Benjamin Strattan, James P. Burgess,-William L. Fryar, Samuel Fryar, Mrs. A. C. Blanchard, Mrs. Dr. James R. Mendenhall, Mrs. James E.,BryaatT Mrs. David Fonts, Mrs. T. J. Ferguson, John. Hawkins. Nathan Hawkins, William xtryria4iy, Waason, Benjamin W. Elliott, GeStgeTrStevenson. ' Besides the above who are residing in our city or.vicinity, there are f-;t? j Mrs.' Albert C Blanehard, residing atBrookfield, Mass!; James C- Ferguson, Indianapolis; Edward L. Frost, , Long Island, N. Y.; Sylvester Murdick, Warsaw, Ind., and E. C. Wright, Pennville, Indiana, all of whom were citizens of Richmond or vicinity and commenced ith': the"' first 1 issue ' of the Palladium, and they yet have the "gift of continuance." . May Heaven s ricnest ana cnoicest messing be and abide with ALL our five thousand readers, those who imitate the example of the veteran. list we have published above, in adhesiveness and pay.' "So mote it be I" "Independent's" Ceaaplalats. Notwithstanding constant care to avoid making mistakes by the P. M. and his employes, in the line of distributing the mails, some will occur with the most expert and pains-taking. To avoid committing errors altogether is the difficult lesson to learn in life, and, taking this view as a fixed axiom, almost everybody must be specially lenient towards each other, is the charitable rule the exception, however, are the P. M. and his assistants ! The errors committed by them are not to be considered accidental; they are willful and premeditated, of course, and could be always avoided ! Our kind neighbor of the "Independent," had some reason to complain of the failure of his New Paris, Ohio packet not having been sent to its destination last week. Like ' the trouble complained of in the time of the boil-afflicted job, that packet was the "only one left" then. The mailing clerk, Mr. Page, explained the matter sufficiently to our ireful friend of the "Independent;" but he deemed it too good an opportunity to "give the P. O. h "ail Columbia I He had failed to make out a rase of justifiable complaint for not opening the office one Sunday, on time; which was sufficiently explained then, but he hadn't the uiauliuess to do us justice by giving the reasons we offered for the delay. Again he failed in the complaint he made regarding the delay of his Jacksonburg packet, in which he was corrected by Postmaster Johnson, of Cambridge, who informed him that the mail left Cambridge for that point only once a week at 2 p. m. Saturday, and his paper started from here at 3 P. m. on that day consequently it had to lay over at Cambridge for one week ! Again, some time ago, a similar packet of papers he now speaks of, was directed by him or one of his employes about his office, to "Chester, Ind.," instead of New Paris, Ohio. He didn't make his complaint public at that time through his columns; but ?ent for the packet, and, after a little delay, thus caused, it reached his subscribers, who, to this day, don't know but the fault is all at the Richmond Postoffice ! "Sichis life!" We assure our neighbor that we shall do our best to avoid all errors but we never expect to attain to the same plane that he appears to have reached 1 Hon. J. M. Wilson and wife returned last Saturday evening. They would have returned Booner, but Mrs. Wilson was not able to travel The Judge will go back to Washi into 1,1 a tew days. Connersvule Tunes.

How IS Was Done. Like the fellow who lost a cent and found it after hunting and. inducing others to help him, for "about thirty minutes, and who' exclaimed when he picked it up, "I didn't eare about it, but I wanted to s know where the darned thing went to!" so we feel regarding the disposal of James Elder, as a candidate for Mayor. We don't care about the "thing? only how it was done. The dailies fail to give the true official vote of the convention,and leave their readers to infer that our friend Elder retired into a hole and then drew the hole in after him! but this' we thought could not be so, and by persistent efforts it has been reserved for the Palladium- to show by the official count that it was done

" " - - Smw Thea and Now. On the 16th of April, one year ago, the snow fell on our streets to the depth of about six inches; but al melted and became slushy and sloppy. about the middle of the day. Last Thursday, 16th inst., snow fell to the depth of about two inches, and con tinued snowing at intervals through out the day. The only thing remark able and anything like a coincidence, in this, is the fact that the "crusaders" then started uut in the snow on their errand of mercy while now the Dem ocratic party of this city made their nominations for city officers.' Against our best and most fervent wishes, for the "crusaders" to -stop the lava-tide of woe flowing from the liquor -saloons of our city, their efforts failed; and, if the efforts of our Democratic fellowcitizens shall likewise fail in fastening on our city another Democratic ad ministration, we shall feel as though the coincidence was completed satis factorily. ' ' ' Connellnaen Democratic Semina tion. On Friday night last, the Democjf our city . met in the different Wards and nominated the following ticket for Councilmen : . First Ward E. F. Rosa. Second Ward P. Flanagan. . Third Ward Geo. B. Dougan. Fourth Ward John H. Dickman. Fifth Ward-Joseph W. Starr. At the Democratic Convention on Thursday night, the following City officers were nominated: ' Mayor S. A. Forkner. Clerk John P. Thistlethwaite. Treasurer James M. Smith. Assessor Louis M. Baxter.

Our old friend and fellow citizen William Cheesmav, tells us that forty -five years ago, on the 9th of this present month ( April), he commenced carrying the mails from Richmond to Indianapolis his first trip was on the 9th of April, 1830, on horse back when mail facilities between the two places lengthened to forty-eight hours sometimes more, owing to the condition of the roads; now, the mails are received and dispatched each way every ; twenty-four hours.

FROM MILTON . . .The general health of the place is good, although it is not exempt from deaths. ' ;- Mrs. Samuel ). Spangler died on Sunday morning, of consumption, and will be burried to day Monday at 2 o'clock P. M. Wm. A. Itothermel has the foundation laid for his new residence on South Central avenue, on a lot he lately purchased. Daniel Dintaman, who was chased away from Nebraska last fall by the grasshoppers, has built and opened a new blacksmith shop on Main street over the canalEd. Barker is going to erect some kind of a store room on Walnut street near the F. W. & M. depot. The frame is already there. B. F. Witmer, the new druggist, is fitting up on Main street, and adjoining his drug'store, the larg est business room in the town. It is already engaged by Date Warren & Co., for a drygoods store. The Milton Literary Club, composed of young men, gave a public exhibition on Friday and Saturday evenings last, at the Union Church, which yielded a handsome sum for the repair of the church. The performance was creditable to the actors, and fun provoking to the audience. D. G. Kern, a druggist and for thirty-five years past a resident of Milton, moved to Indianapolis last week. He bas retired from busi ness for the present. Leopold Baker, one of our boot and shoe merchants has returned home from a trip to Pittsburg Pa. He went there to test the properties of Pittsburg ale, but it is said that the effect which an experimental examination of the subject had upon him forbids that he should make any report. JohnJTingle, a worthy mechanic, has been tendered -ai -appoiniment as a general agent for a largees" tablishment in some of the New England States, to sell mops and scrubbing brushes. He is consult ing with friends about accepting. The other day John Michael, while in rather an elevated mood immagined that he had bought the "barracks," a large rickety building on Main street, and at once notified the tenants in a peremptory manner to vacate. He hardly understands yet why be has no deed, and why the tenants do not move ' out, but every body else does. . During the recent fire here which destroyed two stables and a horse, . and greatly endangered other more valuable property, that was only saved by the united ex ertions of our citizens; several laughable incidents occurred illus trating the frailty of men in times of peril. One of our citizens was at work in his cellar some distance away when his daughter, a married lady, on hearing the cry of fire! hastened to inform, him. He instantly seized a bucket, rushed out into the alley,, and on beholding the flames ascendingr hisrher and higher, became so excited that he threatened to chastize his daughter for not informing him before the fire broke out. Another one whose property was in the vicinity of the fire, was in the country at the time, but was soon informed by special messenger, when he left his business, scaled fences, and crossed fields, and on arriving at home' panting, but after Ihe fire had been. subdued, and all danger past, gathered a bucket of water, climb ed a ladder that had been placed against his house during the fire, and dashed it upon the roof. A deafening roar of laughter from the bystanders restored the lost ballance of his mind, and he retired to rest. Others might be related, but this will suffice for the present. . Index. Frnit Report. Wils H. Corbly, of the Sixth Street Fruit Commission, informed us, yesterday, that he examined all the fruit trees on his two farms, at Mount Washington, yesterday morning, and is quite disheartened by the result of his observations. He says that all his apples are killed, even the latest varieties not escaping the ruinous frost. Pears nearly allgone. Peaches all killed. Cherries nearly all gone; and this applies to all the varietiep of the fruits mentioned. Most of the strawberry plants not killed during the winter are frozen in the bud, ami those at all developed are blackened beyond hope of salvation. Mr. Corbly has two farms, one on the Miami . hill tops and one in the valley, but the fruit is alike affected on both farms. Even the old Robson apple is gone; ana ne is only too sorry to say thai his examination is echoed from adjoining farms by other growers. Cincinnati Commercial, April 18th. An elooement in Milburv. Mass had no novel feature, but it called attention to a strangely complicated family. The wife who eloped was twenty-one years old, having b n married seven years, and the hnh nA whom she left was sixty-seven. - The husband's two sons by a previous wife are married to his recreant wife's two older sisters, and ner brother is the husband of her husband's daughter.

tteaeral Joatal ITaloa. The ratification at Berne, recently, of the General Postal Union announced by telegraph, will mark a great step in International expedience and convenience. The Union as now constituted may be briefly stated to be, a treaty which binds those nations entering the union into "a single postal territory, for the reciprocal exchange . of correspondence between ' their" postal bureaus.'' to the effect, that mail matter will be carried at uniform rates, and by the most expeditious routes, all over the civilized world, freedom of transit being guaranteed throughout the entire territory of the Union. The standard rates of letter postage inthe Union is fixed at twenty-five" centimes say five cents for each 15 gram mes or fraction ol that weight, which is equivalent to a little more than a half ounce troy Such matter as is well known to us as "third class" is carried throughout the Union at 7 centimes less than two cents per weight of fifty grammes about one and one-half ounces. The treaty, which has many special provisions, takes the place of all special treat ies upon the subject, and contains besides some provisions of especial interest to America as remote from the remainder, by a great distance. It is to go into effect July 1st, and cannot but be of great importance to the nations interested. The following have already joined the Union: United States, Germany, France, Great Britain, Austria and Hungary, Belgium, Denmarck, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Pertugal, Switzerland, Russia, Servia, Romania, Turkey, Greece and Egypt Toledo Commercial.

FUNERALS. A Reform in Tneir Maasgement Heeded.. The extravagant cost of funerals, is eliciting inquiry as to a remedy, and the Inter-Ocean publishes the follow ing notice of a meeting in Chicago among clergymen regarding the trouble, which strikes as a commence ment of a reform in the right quarter: "An interesting discussion, and one which touches a theme calling lor re view and reform, originated at a late conference ot the Methodist "pastors of this city. Ihe subject referred to was "Funerals." The ministers con sidered the topic with special refer ence to the desirability ot a change in the conduct of burial services gener ally. It was held that funerals as at present carried on were expensive in the extreme. This point was illus trated by numerous incidents where fashion had so far obtained control of even such affairs that the effects of a respectable lunerai were experi enced long atter its occurrence. Ihe ordinary funeral involves an expendi ture of from $60 to $100, while that which is a grade or more removed from this is proportionately higher. The time occupied in the discharge of these last sad rites is not mentioned, as being not a matter for consideration in' this connection. It waa from the standpoints of opulence and indigence that the subject was canvassed, and among the remedies suggested to break down a fashion that is neither Christian nor cultivating was the following : It is proposed, first, to begin with this reform in the churches. Each religious body is more or less a center from which almost all classes in the community radiate. Let a number of the leading societies inaugurate this movement by having vaults built in some convenient and sate portion of the edifice. These can be constructed, say under the tower, or in some other part equally appropriate, and composed of the same materials as are such apartments in o.ur cemeteries. They can be so erected as to offend neither taste nor devotion, which should not be forgotten, especially in the incipiency of a reform like this. The funeral services may be held either at the residence of the deceased or at the church. The difference in the character of the services would not be material, if notice able. In the event of the funeral being held at the church, the remains are quietly conveyed from the home to the church, where the burial ser vice is held, ihe casket is deposited in the vault, the friends are dismissed. and in a few days, or a few weeks at most, the body is removed without display or ostentation to the cemetery. This simple service will dispense with all needless expense for carriage hire, show, etc., and will do away with that which is often a strain on the pursestrings of those who are least- able to bear it. Ihe Key. Dr. .hdwards, the Rev. Dr. Tiffany, and the Rev. 31. M. Parkhurst were chosen a committee to consult with the pastors of the various Protestant churches in the city as to the advisability of such an effort and the best means of reaching it.

J e ai Ileal Eaeraaeh ta mm taa Fnalle Sehaala The New York World is a Democratic paper, but .it has not sunk to the depths of the leaders ot its party in Ohio. It speaks thus plainly on the attempt to proselyte school children at the public expense: "The proposition of the Vicar-General to combine the parochial schools of the Roman Catholic Church with " the common schools shall be adjoined to the common schools is taking a more definite shape than it assumed in the inoffensive suggestion with which it began. It is now proposed that the Roman Catholic schools shall be adjoined to the common Bchool system; in effect, that the State shall pay for the maintenance of those schools. In this proposition we fail to find reason or justice. One of the Roman Catholic gentlemen who were visited by our reporter said that the tendency of the common schools was in opposition to Catholicism. The State then is asked to maintain a system of instruction to which it is in opposition. How can the State so stultify itself? - In the impartial view of the State the Roman Church is entitled to the same protection, and no more, that is extended to the weakest sect of believers in any form of religion whatever. If the Roman Catholic schools are supported wholly or mainly at the public expense we may be sure that the sects which have not emulated the admirable enterprise of the Roman Catholics in supporting their own schools will be ready enough to take advantage of the cheap method of inculcating their own beliefs which the enactment of the pending proposition would secure them. In this way we should have "common schools" not only of every Protestant variety, but of Jews, and, for any thing we can tell, ultimately of Chinese scholars, and the secular common school system would no longer be used, except as a kind of Potter's field of education by the unclassified ehildren of unknown or perfectly careless parents. Compulsory education adds a new reason why the proposition should not be adopted.

The child ren who are compelled to attend some school may be compelled to attend the religious common school as well as the secular, and the State will thus appear as a direct agent in procuring proselytes tor bucIi schools as are added to its system by the sects There is. no way of preserving the school system except by keeping com mon school education absolutely tec ular, and this appiies to the advocates Of "the Bible in the schools" on the one band, as well as to the advocates of parochial schools on the other. It would be a good thing if, by leaving out such religious exercises as are now performed in the schools, all the sects would be satisfied, and use their own schools only to supplement the secular instruction of the public schools, but on no account ought any positive religious inculcation to be ermitted in schools supported by taxation. Cm. Ixaz. Oliver I'romweiri Head. The night of the 2d of September, 1668. was one lone remembered in Eneland,-,A fearful storm passed over the country, unroofing houses. uprooting trees half a century old. and strewing the shores with the wrecks of unfortunate vessels. While this commotion was passing without. a mighty soldier lay dying at Hampton Court. Uiiver Uromweli, tne wise sovereign and victorious soldier, worn out with disease and the death of his favorite child, .was fighting the last great battle of 'his life. Just as the sun was setting, on the 3d of Septem ber, the anniversary ot two or His most celebrated battles, England's greatest ruler passed away, with a Erayer upon his lips, and a smile overiog over his wasted features. Cromwell's body was embalmed, and with a pomp which, as Macaulay tells us, was never before witnessed in England, was laid to rest in Westminster Abby. Here for eighteen months it remained, when the proffiigate Charles II., being restored to the throne, dragged his body trom the tomb, hung it upon the gibbet at Tyburn, and fastening the head upon a' pixe, placed it upon Westminster Hall, where for twenty years it re mained exposed to the scorching heat of summer and pitiless storms of winter. ' -.;. . . . . - But now the head of Cromwell has once more found a resting place, and strange to say, has become the keepsake of a lady. After, so long an exposure to wind and Weather, it is not surprising that finally the pike was broken and the head thrown down. It was picked up by a common soldier. j i. . i v l; tn : : - 5 auu uj.iiiiu tin luquirj waa afterwards conveyed to a friend, and finally has come through a succession of families which can be easily traced into the hands of its present possessor, a daughter of the Hon. Mr. Wilkinson, member of Parlament from Buckingham and Bromley. My authority adds that the head is almost entire, -the flesh black and sunken, but the features nearly perfect, and the hair still ; remaining. Even the large wart over one of the eyes, a distinctive mark of Cromwell's face, is still visible. The pike which was thrust into' the neck may still be seen, the "iron part nearly rusted off, the wooden portion in splinters. " It is an historical fact that Cromwell was embalmed, and that no other person thus cared for was ever beheaded, but how curious that the head of so illustrious a general, so powerful a monarch, should finally pass into the keeping of a lady. Since writing the above an article has appeared in the London Times confirming it. . A correspondent of the Country Gentleman says that the way to banish rats is, plant asphodeal near the bain or stable where they ' are, or put some in their holes. - Rats have such an aversion for this plant that they will quit the premises where it is. If they are in drains or in cellars, scatter sulphate of iron (copperas) in their runs. The copperas should not be dissolved. It is our best and cheapest disinfectant. The sulphuric acid burns their feet, and they leave in a short time without dying. This will be appreciated by every housekeeper that has had to endure the stench of a dead rat. The Ohio Prohibitionists are going through the motions again. They nave never yet elected anybody, and probably never will; but they can draw off votes enough from Republican candidates occasionally to elect whisky Democrats to the Legislature and to State offices for which service they are abused by these same Democrats. These Prohibitionists are very good fellows, but they might acquire a little more practical wisdom without overstocking themselves. Springfield Republican. The Indianapolis News says that incendiaries fired Rush & Co.'s elevator, west of the river in that city, on the night of the 12th. The building and 25.000 bushels of grain were destroyed.

Civil RIr at. What is a "Civil Right?" It is a right which a man enjoys as a citiaen. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are among such rights; but it is not necessary to a man's existence that he should put up at the - Fifth Avenue Hotel; it is not the condition of his liberty that he should attend the opera, and it is by no means essential to his happiness that he should drink wine at the bar of the St Nicholas. Per contra, it may be necessary to the existence of a barber as a barber that he should wait upon those only whose patronage he desires; it is certainly necessary both to his liberty and happiness. We gain little if while emancipating one class we enslave another. Particularly in all matters ot trade fussy limitations and petty restrictions are irritating, because men feel them to be unphilosophical. It is hard certainly that a man should be refused accommodation at an inn on account of his complexion. But white men are constanstly refused lodgings for less reasons because the gentlemanly clerk does not like their appearance; because they are shabby and have no baggage; because all the rooms are reserved for favorites of the house, who at the moment may be many hundred miles away. Thsee are hardships and indecorums which the law will hardly reach, and when a white man is refused admission to one inn, he usually swallows his wrath and seeks another. At common law he may bring an action, but no one ever thinks of such resoct. Id the long run, landlords and barbers and theatrical managers will have matters their own way, and this simply because the number of those who will care to annoy them will prove exceedingly small. Informers, making a profession of informing, never thrive in this couutry. As for the civil right T la.. i . i

oi i to compel a to traae witn mm, it doesr. t exist by law ot nature, and it can never have a healthy existence under the law of the Tand. If any one supposes that in making these remarks we are actuated by prejudice, he is very much mistaken. We have advocated and intend to advocate per feet equality before the law; and while law is law we heartily advise every body to obey it. At the same time we know that there are wise and foolish, practicable and impracticable, neces sary and unnecessary laws; and while large bodies of representatives re ceive handsome salaries for enacting new statutes and amending old ones, the supply, to say the least, will be quite equal to the demand. Add to this that law manufacturers are not without exception philosophers, and it will be apparent that repeal will be quite as much the busines of Legis latures as enactment. New York Tribune. .
