Indianapolis Review : This is going to be a hard year on Demconitio orators. They cannot advocate protection to Aaaeriean Industrie, for the Republicans can point to Speaker Carlisle .and his free trade committees. They cannot advocate civil service reform, for Republicans can point to Pendleton, the anther of civil service referee, and any to the Democrats, yoa slaughtered him." They cannot advocate parity in peltries, for the Republicans point to Senator Payne, and say that he bought his election. We are a little anxious to know what the Democratic orators will say when they begin to paw the air. Easiest tiling in ths world. They will do as Voorheea always did: nuke a speech, and if policy to change front in a week or two, deny to the very seen who heard hiaathahe ever used such language. Ko trouble for a Democratic politician to tarn somersaults.

A well-known and highly respected citixen of Monroe county, bow over three score and ten years of age, handed the Progress, a few days ago, the following incidents of early tissea. The old gentleman read his manuscript without glasses, having recently come to bis "second gut." AS IJtCIBEST OP A3 EDITOR'S Jawk. When the State of Indiana was organised in 1816, and after the removal of archives of the Territorial government to the city of Indianapolis as the new and permanent Capital of the State, their1 regnJoar public printer Mr. Jesse B. was left behind at Cory don, the former capital. After looking around and prospecting for a fitror-' able location, finally determined to cast hie lot with the people of Mon

roe county, and in the town of

Blooasingtoa pot np bis press and ' publish a good county "newspaper," which Aing at that time of "small things" was considered a matter of great honor and an evidence of much progress in a community. But let it be remembered that this Jesse B. was man of excellent morals, a very modest, honest and sociable bachelor, but not borthened with a great weight of literary attainments. And why be remained a bachelor, whether it was became of hw repugnance to a state of matrimooy or on account of his rather hard fiotuius, making him rather repulsive to the ladies, we cannot aay. But being very aealous in his undertaking and believing that the dinWiam of knowledge and general intelligence in a country are the bulwarks of American liberty and independence, he proposed to a number of subscribers who lived rather remote from bis ofice to deliver their papers to them at their homes, himself in person, each week. Only one postoffice in the county at the time, he bad to act in the capacity of carrier as wsli as editor and publisher. And whilst engaged on one occasion in distributinc his naner.be called at

the bouse of an old and intimate

frisud and subscriber, at a late boor is the afternoon, with the intention

of reaaaintng over night with Uncle Billy W . On entering the

room he saw the familiar faces of

Uncle Buy's family, hie wife, two

grown sous, a grown daughter and a neigh Dor's . daughter, all seated

and in social chat. The weather being warm and the nights short,

and nut one room to occupy

was usual in that day, no light in the .loom but one candle on this

oeceeeeo. Our editor and the old

jnrmer aeon engaged in a very agreeable and interesting conversa

tion, and during which unnoticed by them the candle burnt out, and

in looking around found themselves

alone, tbe tastily bavins all retired.

Undo Billy said, Jesse we had bet

ter lie down too, there w your bed.

Tbe old sun started to one in the

earner of the reoeo, Jesse to one in

the opposite corner and having dof

fed bis clothes and reached the

side of the bed. by the exercise of

one of bis sensitive powers found

w bed already occupied by two

persons, oae on each side, giving

moat room in the middle lor bim

Supposing them to be the two sons

of Uncle Billy, lay down between

tbem and was very seon sleepius

soundly. But when after daylight,

Jesse being awakened by n touch

opened hia eyes and saw two young

ladies strtiag. oae on each side of

hihi, in the act of removing their

"night cans. O, tbe perplexity

of mind tbe excessive desire to

depart mj a ruined own to aerts

unknown. So soon as the way was mads clear, wo arose, adjusted bis

clothing and in this state, of embar

rassment immsdisHly left. Uncle Billy being out attending to bis chorea heard Jesse letttmg down

s bar- in getling out of tbe yard, called him, saying, hold on Jesse;

as be came up to our confused edi

tor, said, you are not leaving

Xes, Jesae replied ; 1 am a ruined

ana, .Why so, Jesse, asked the old man. By sleeping between the two. girls last night thinking at the time I Ws between the two boys. Pstar.ny Uncle Billy, we all k&ow it was a mistake, I will say

nothing about it and of course the

girls will not tell it, it will go no farther and cannot affect your standing, you being consciously clear of all improprieties. Come back and stay for breakfast. And after much solicitai on prevailed on hira to return. For some years this was kept a profound secret while Jesse got along swimmingly. Bat in tbe course of time Uncle" Billy became too feeble to keep the secret without help. So he let it out to some faithful old friends who were able to tell it -to good advantage in crowds of others, and in Jesse's presence. With him it was unpleasant but to others a great source of merriment. A Spkcimek of Legal. ACUMKS. In an early Jay, inj township No. 9 north, range No. , three west, lived Justice B; Neigh- j bor D. nude his appearance and filed bis complaint, vs. neighbor E., and demanded a summons. The Docket of the Justice did not show (as is required by the common law) an "action on the case" for damages, nor an action of "Trover and Conversion," bqt simply stated that the defendant E. bad fugled him out of a Turkey. The summons, after being served and duly returned and at the proper boor set for trial, the parties appeared, the defendant pleading the "general issue." All the evidence being taken and the case submitted, the court remarked to the parties that he would take the case under advisement for the number of days specified by law. So at tbe expiration of four days claimed by the court the parties returned to know the result. The Justice announced to the parties that he bad entered a non-suit for the reason that he had searched diligently and was unable to find "Turkey" in the whole statute. Letter frame Waaklwa;toBi Territory. Ed. Progress: Dear Sir: Having promised to write you what I could of this country some time and thinking this as good a time as any I make tbe attempt, but will not

try any description outside the former Co. of Spokane on account

of not being much acquainted.

By the action of the Territorial

Legislature just adjourned, in di

viding Spokane Co. and forming

the western portion into a new Co.

called Lincoln, that body has formed a county that ere long will rank

second to none in .Eastern Wash

ington as regards influence or productions.

Spokane county was divided

from north to south, with Cheney

remaining as the county seat of

Spokane, notwithstanding tbe fact

that tp get Spokane falls the county seat was the object in view by the friends of division, but by the determined fight of Cheuey she holds the offices as before.

From various sources we gather

the following facte in regard to the

formed county. Immigrants

destined for Spokane and Lincoln counties leave the railroad at eith

er Spokane Falls, Cheney and Sprague and as nearly all the choice land near the railroad is tak

en land hunters must keep going

farther west to what is known ss

the big bend of tbe Columbia or

Badger mountain country, all of;

which, before division, was in Spokane county and are now in Lin

coln.

Standing on one of the high hills

the Columbia and looking

south and east one can see, what

seems like an unlimited extent of

slightly rolling and, except along

streams, treeless prairie, but the

moan tains are almost all heavily

timbered with pine, fir and tama

rack. Scattered all over this section

are cabins indicating the growth of this section as a year ago not a cabin could be seen, and as much of the land has been taken up by

men who intend to occupy and improve next summer, this country will look much more civilized at tbe end of another year than it does now. The estimated population now is 5,000.

As to the productions, judging

from tbe eastern part, which bas been under cultivation - several years, the prospect is as good or better than eastern Spokane county, as it is not so rolling as the country along tbe railroad in eastern Spokane and is nearly free from scab land. The principal crops are Wheat, Oats, Bye, Barley, and last, but not least, Potatoes, which, so far, have always done well. Oregon apples (picked) are selling in Che

ney for fifteen cents per lb. This

high price is caused by the almost

failure of fruit in Oregon last season. Tbe soil of tbe Badger moun -tain country is a dork loam, and is from 1 to 3 feet deep, under

laid with a clay subsoil, and after the first or second plowing is al

ways mellow.

The first plowing, or breaking the sod, is tbe worst, and where

there is wool-grsss it is a terror to

beginners, requiring four and six

horses, wbiie where there is no

wool-grsss two horses can go right along wjth a twelve inch breaking plow, and turn 1 and 2 acres' per

day. The county seat of Lincoln ooun

ty ia Davenport, a . town in the eastern end of tbe county, and watt

selected by tbe Legislature against

tbe wishes or Sprague, but ,w

Sprague was within two miles o

the south line, she stood ho show.

The Northern Pacific railroad car shops, round house, die., are at Sprague, making it quite a business town. Washington Territory is not all it is said to be, on advertising papers, but to any one willing to rough it awhile, it certainly affords better opportunities than continual renting of farms in the States. The winter season here is long, and sometimes very cold, yet it is so dry and generally clear, that it don't appear to affect a person as much as some places where it is not cold but changeable. In last February the mercury stood at 36 below zero, just one day, and it was the coldest. Our moisture here comes mostly in the form of snow during the winter and while we may have two or three rains during the summer it is not unfrequently the case for a crop to grow and mature without a drop of rain. Why the soil here holds moisture so much longer than E laces in the east I can't find out, ut such is the case undoubtedly. To such as want to hunt game this is a good field, as in the mountains are plenty of wolf, bear, cougar and deer, while on the prairie are chickens, ducks, &c. Our advice to any who are veil fixed in Indiana is to stay where ihey are, or come and see the country before selling oat, as people are dissatisfied here as elsewhere, but to my notion this is the boss country. So good-day to you. D. H. Harrington, Lincoln Co., W. T. iaam pale A question 1st Ethics. Plninfield Progress ; A curious question in ethics is presented by the attitude in which the authorities of Asbury University have placed themselves, by soliciting and accepting the money and services of the saloon men, in

raising tbe $60,000 required of

Putnam county to secure the De Pauw endowment. Should the money of tbe whiskey men have been accepted ? If not, why not ? Could it have been put to a better purpose, or to one more likely to counteract the evil influence of tbe traffic? On the other band, as is pertinently asked by the Greencastie Bsnner, is the Uuiversity, having taken their money, in a position to make war upon the individual business of the ram sellers ? If not should an institution lie placed, by its management, in a situation where its voice is hushed against a great social and domestic evil? There is food for serious thoughts in these questions.

nitre-glycerine, without becoming pasty, and the ingredients are easily mixed, leaden vessels and wooden spoons being used to avoid dangerous friction. When flame is applied to this mass it burns with a strong flame, without any expioson ; but when ignited by a detonating fuse, or even by a sudden blow, its explosive force is tremendous.

Prosser Falls, Washington Territory, is "booming." A resident said to a reporter of the Walla Walla Journal : "I haven't had a chance to visit my claim for some weeks. Last fall I built a house on it, hauling the timber from fifty to eighty miles. At that time there was not a residence within thirty miles. Then I went to Seattle for a few weeks, and when I came back the whole country was a camp ; there was lumber on the ground for a brewery, a drug store was opening out, and a building was up for a general merchandise store, with a hall up stairs for the Odd Fellows to meet in. I can't give you the exact situation at C resent, because, as I say, I haven't een home for several weeks, - but I expect to find an academy of music, a telephone exchange, and an elevated railway in full blast when I get there."

A bill has been . introduced in Congress, which, if passed, will reduce fares on the Pacific railroads to a maximum of three cents per mile for first-class, two cents per mile for second class and one and a half cents per mile for third class passengers. There is a boy in Connecticut who has a third arm growing out of his back. He will find it very handy to be able to scratch his back, when ha hasn't time to go to the corner of the house.

Peterson's Magazine. We

have before u the current number of

this well-known favorite of tbe ladies' monthly. It is splendid number, with a perfect galaxy of steel-engravings, colored fashion -plates, colored patterns for the work-tablet tales, poetry, etc. Undoubtedly, 'Peters" is not only the best, but the cheapest magazine of its kind, being- but two dollars a year to single subscribers. To clubs it is cheaper still, with great inducements to those getting up clubs. Subscribe to no magazine until you hare seen a dopy of "Peterson." Specimens are sent gratis, if written for to persons who wish to get up ctebs. Address Charles J. Peterson, SOS Chestnut Street, Philadelphia,,?.

"Toloachi." says Fannie B.

Ward, in a letter from Mexico,'

"grows everywhere in Mexico, but more thriftily in the tropical lowlands of the terra caliente. It is a harmless looking plant, much resembling Northern hiilk-weed, and quite too dangerously convenient in a land where suspicion rules and jealousy amounts to madness. It does not kill, but acts immediately upon the brain, producing first violent insanity and then hopeless idiocy. It is whispered that poor Carlotta hsd hardly land

ed at Vera Cruz, on her sorrowful mission to this country, before some

of it was administered to her, and

her deplorable fate is cited as one

among many instances. Of all tbe

dangers in Mexico tbis is one of

the most appalling. Any political enemy, or jealous rival, or offended servant, may thus revenge himself

in a more nendisu manner than with tbe stiletto and without fear of detection : a few drops of this

tasteless white fluid, mixed with

milk or other food, does its diabol

ical work with inexorable certainty, and can only be detected by its gradual results."

Writing to the Baltimore Sun

from Sydney, N. S. W., a traveler says : "I have never seen anything

ia America that compared with Wentworth Falls in the combination of both beauty and grandeur. At first the water leaps a distance of 700 feet, as though falling over the back to the seat of a great armchair cut out of the face of the mountain by some giant of nature. Falling in spray, it gathers itself for another run and leap, the second time falling over 800 feet in

to the great gorge below. The fall

is so tar and tbe foliage so dense

at the foot that the eye fails to see

tbe second gathering place of the clouds of spray giitterine in the

sunlight 1,500 feet below. The

valley below the falls spreads out like a great amphitheatre fifty miles across, and hemmed in on every

side by the perpendicular walls ofi

me mountain, no numan iooi has ever been known to tread tbis valley, as it cannot be reached foom below, by reason of a second

precipice over winch the same

stream falls, and to go down from above would be a perilous undertaking." Those who have never seen the much talked of dynamite explosive will be interested to know that it looks verv much like moist

brown sugar. Kitro-gly o e r i n e.

which is formed by the action of

nitric acid-upnn glycerine, at a low temperature, is the active agent in

dynamite, but is mixed with some

absorbent substance to render it safer to handle than the liquid

glycerine, 1 be absorbent material

thus used is a silicious earth a fine

white powder composed of the remains of infusoria, and resembling

powdered chalk ; this takes up two or three times its weight of the

He pays coth for his goods, and thereby gats 7 per ennt. off. 5th. Ha has plenty of cash to pay, and don't have to insike money on ready made clothing. 6th. Because he has eight tailors working for him, and he makes from $35 to $50 per week on their labor. 7th. Because he makes from $3 to $9 par day by cutting clothing. 8th. Because instead of paying rents he has rents coming in to him from several pieces at property. 9th. Because cash buys goods for less than cheek. 10th. Because no other clothing dealer has tha cash to discount his bills with. I have a full stock j look elsewhere first, then coma to ma and I will prove my assertions. Bas. McGss.
