One week from to-day the Kec publican National Conventiea will
be in session at Chicago. No one
at present can safely predict who will be the nominee of that conren-
tion. It n nettleiUfowever,tl:3t the
Bominee,4s bf-rlcetcd, mwt be a JwrtTwho can defeat Samuel J. Tilden. Tbta does not necessarily
imply that Mr. Tilden will be the
Democratic nominee, bat that the
Republican nominee who ia strong
enough to defeat him has nothing to fear from any other quarter.
The Republican nominee, there- - fore, moot be nominated to cover a
'. contingency and carry New York.
. There is nothing-in recent Demo-
cratie legislation that is calculated to give that party victory. Its
strength seems to lie in vengeance, on account of the alleged take
count of 1876. In fact they make
their canvass as present, not upon any principle, bat about a circum
stance following the election of
eight years ago.
There has been no material change of late in the business and
industrial situation. Dullness is
rcpnrtcd from all parts of the coon
try and the depression of prices continues. Bat better things are
- in store for the business world.
Unfavorable conditions will hardly
prevail much longer in general trade. Crop prospects have not
been so favorable for years. With
a promise of anything like fair
prices, the farming community
will soon begin to feel the encoar-
. agement of renewed prosperity, and
this feeling will have an innoenee
in all other circles. Congress
might promote trade interests some
what by giving attention to subjects upon which legislation is needed, instead of keeping op agi
tation of the tariff and thereby disturbing business. Bat Congress is engaged in the more important
fork of Prandent-naaking.
How to Makb a Fekce.
"Last fell," said Mr. Dixon, 1 planted black walnuts two feet apart clear around my farm. My idea ia to leave them so thick that
they will run to timber and not to branches. When they are five years old I will string a barbed wire on them, and when they are ten years old 111 have nix barbed wires on them a living feoee. This fence will be increasing in
aloe every year. I will eventu
ally have 10,000 trees, foar feet apart, dear around .my farm. When these trees are twenty years
old they will be worth $20 apiece.
When they are fifty years old they
will be worth $50 apiece. Just multiply 10,000 trees by fifty dollars and you! will see what the
boundary line of my farm will ba worth why just $500,000. That noble American citisen, -Frank James, is all right. He is down on Bob. Ingersol, and that makes him orthodox : A Kansas City dia patch says: In an interview with Frank James, reference was made to Ingersol, who, when here last week, said the criminial ought to be bong. The prisoner denounced the Colonel as blasphemer and a hypocrite. "Ingersol," continued Frank, "goes around denouncing the Bible, the most sacred of all books. He ridicules its teachings and the Savior, and yet amid all this he has hearers to the number of 2,000, while a man for using an indecent word while drunk will be confined thirty days. My God ! how can such a state of affairs be? Any man who would assail the sacred book
would dare do anything. The Lord is my helper. I care not what men shall do or say against
me. Ingersol is doing unspeakable injury to the nation. He is sowing the seeds of iniquity in the minds of our youth 1!!
J
Tempejrsmc la Ike Schools. The temperance reform does not move
bach ward. The moat iraortant featur of tba temperance work: of the Nation ia the proper training of children. The movement in favor of taacbitfto the use and abuse and effect ot alcoholic drinks,
to the children of the public schools of America, ia one of the encouraging signs of the times. New York has just passed a law making such instruction compulsory i
in bar schools ; Massachusetts, xiew Hampshire, Michigan, perhaps other i
States have already done so. We cani
not cope mat toe present generation win he relieved from the awful curse of intoxication, but a proper education of the young men and wouien, and the children who are coming up, will give ua a good ground of hope for the next generation. People need education on the temperance question. Temperance Unions ought to
put the nen temperance literature in every library. There is no more interesting living question than this, none more wor
thy of the study of young men and wom
en; none to wnica more i nought nas Men given by the best writers and greatest
men or tne nay. Jtan nice Mr. oeecner, Spurgeon, Talmage, Theodore Cuyler, Dr. Bulkley, College Presidents, Governors, Judges and flenatots, have given tan sublet the best product of their pen. Tlie easava and -discussions from sueh
men, and the references on this subject make a valuable library, certainly most
useful to the student. Tbe W. C. T. U. of the country at Urge are anxious to see such liters tore go into college and county libraries. We suggest to our local Union the propriety of putting such books in our library. Thav will be a nermanent
eoad. and if tae pupils of out High school
and the young men and women in college
are properly encouraged in lb. is direction, such literature will produce an early and lasting effect. Bat even if we can see no immediate coed it ia well to remember
that tbe temperance work, like the work
ol the church, is not to be accomplished in spasmodic spells, thrown in between lens intervals of rest. W must educate ;
end that early and constantly. Let us
save a convenient temperance literature. W.

The Democratic Congression
al Convention of the Fifth Dis-
I trict which has just cenoluded
its work, in this city, was the largest, most respectable, and most enthusiastic political Convention that ever assembled in this section of the State. Some of the advance guard began to arrive as early as Monday, and nearly all of the delegates and visitors were here by Tuesday night. Some, from the neighboring counties, came in by private conveyance on Tuesday morning. The train from the North Tuesday afternoon had several extra coaches, and the largest portion of delegates, and friendsof the various candidates, were on the train. About this hour the actual wire-puffing began, and tbe friends of tbe various candidates got in their work. The Matson men seemed to be predominant, while Cooper's backers were by no means a few and were not idle. At the hotels, and on tbe Btreets a great deal of earnest work was done, but every body seemed to be in a good humor, and the sentiment was that the nominee should have a solid support, whoever he might be. There was a great demand for tickets of admission, but , as the room would not hold all, many had to be disappointed. Up to Monday it was thought th.t the Convention could be held in the College Chapel as the consent of tbe Trustees bad been obtained. At that time, however, it was assertained that one or two of the Trustees were protesting, so the local committee decided to change the place of meeting to the Court-house. Seats for 161 delegates were arranged inside tbe bar, and this left room for only about 250 spectators, 25 complimentary tickets being issued to each county. IBB PK0CKEDIXG8. The Convention was oalled to
order at 9:15 by W. H. Barnett,
chairman of the Congressional
Committee. James Fritts. of
Gosport, was appointed - tempor
ary secretary, and proceeded to call the counties, which all re
sponded. Mr. Browning ot Nashville, nominated It. W. Miers
as permanent chairman and lie
was unanimously elected. Ue
was greeted with loud applause.
Mr. Miers made a short and neat
little speech, and then F. 0. Williams of Johnson county was elected permanent secretary,
with all tbe democratic editors
of the district as assistants.
The Convention then proceeded
to the nomination of candidates. The counties were called and the
chairman ef each delegation was
announced. Bartholomew county presented the name ef George
W. Cooper as a candidate for Con
gress, he being presented in an eloquent speech by Nelson Kise.
Mr. Browning, of Brown county,
seconded the nomination of Coop
er in a good natured speech that was enthusiastically received.
John Hays, of Hendricks county
nomiuated Col. Matson, which was received with wild applause.
Monroe county, through John Mc
Gee, seconded the nomination.
J. B. Mitchell, of Morgan, nom
inated Hon. Eb. Henderson.
Judge Robinson, of Owen county,
presented the name of Dr. John
A. Williams and in his usual el
oquent and pleasant manner. The mention of Williams' name
was received with cheers and a
blast of the Lancaster band.
Putnam county seconed the nomination of Matson. The Con

This gave Matson 100 votes,
more than enough to nominate him. When Owen county cast her 18 votes for Matson. He
made a happy and earnest
speech, returning thanks for the
great honor. Brown county
moved to make the nomination unaninnus, and it was carried by a prolonged shout. Judge Robinson offered a resolution, which was heartily adopted, approving Matson's vote on the Morrison Tariff bill. Each of tbe defeated candidates were called on and responded with stirring speeehes, pledging their support to the nominee. A regular democratic Ieve feast was kept up for a half an hour, when the convention adjourned.
At tbe close, Mr. Martin, of
Putnam county, offered a resolution, which was heartily adopt
ed, thanking the citizens of
Bloomington for their hospitality, and courteous treatment. Many high compliments were paid Hon. R. W. Miers for the fair and efficient manner in which he discharged the- duties of presiding officer. He certainly made an excellent chairman.

LATEST FASHION NOTES.
Polonaises are papular with plaid
dresses.
White surah still ramaias a favorite
material far young ladies' dancing toilets.
Interlaced rings ef passamentiere is ana
of the mast popular trimmings this season.
Light, clear colors are much in ' vogus, such as crtsm, pale pink, light blue and mauve. Lace Ftdora vests are confined at tbe throat on the left side with oae large artificial rose, and at tbe waist on the right side with another. Shoulder capes of chenille and lace, held together with old-fashioned netting in silk, will bs tbe dressy mid-summer street wraps. Small fichu mantles of mull, trimmed trimmed with lace will be warn with mull dresses this summer, the ends knotted over the bosom under a bouquet of flowers. Tiny boutionnierles or a single flower stuck in the buttonhole are the correct thing for tailor-made suits, for full dress, huge bouquets are worn, almost covering one side efthe dress front below the bust. No two dresses are alike, and every, thing edd is in order, especially in ornaments. An odd pebble for a breach or bangle is more chie than geld, and scarf pins stuck in laea are preferred to the ordinary breastpin. A very neat way to trim a hat far a young girl is to fasten several rows of double- fsced ribbon at regular intervals around the crown. Each one must be tied in front in a bow knot, making a creesway line. Quantities of ribbon, both in velvet and in ottoman and istin, will be used to trim dresses this s amaaer. Ribbon balls, with full bows at the side, will be wern with round waists, while yards upon yards are employed for fringes and for long leoped bows to hold draperies, etc. Valenciennes lace pokes of pieturepque irregular shapes are imparted for Mewpert and Saratoga, to be worn with lace dressei, or with white sprigged muilia that is trimmed with Ynlonciennei. Cocade bows of scarlet, pink, yellow, nr pale blue velvet ribbon are their only trimming. Some of the pretty sateen diwua are made as fellows : The skirt af the plain
sateen is sido-pleated all tne way round, and above this is a graceful Langtry polnaise, looped high on each side, and trimmed from thriat to hsm down the front with a jabot of Oriental lace The polonaise is always of the Agurrd sateen, with ground natch d to the skirt fabric. The old-fashioned chemisette or tucker is to be in high vogue tbe coining season.
Many of tne bodices to summer teilet ef foulard, sateen, checked and striped silk, veiling, surah, and othar light, dresy materials, are cut in the heart or clement shape and filled in with a habit shirt of tulle, satin, silk or flowered net. An embroidered muslin fichu is also to ba worn with morning dressei of cephyr gingham, linen, nainsook, cambric, lawn, organdie or percale. This is put on before tbe square-out bodice, and thus covers the neck. Young ladies now wear white - mull plastrons with cuffs to mateh, tbe latter simply finished with a hem. These plastrons, or cutfod vests, consist of a breadth of good about twenty inches wide and twenty-four inches long, shirred at the neck under the cellar. The goods then fall to the waist in natural folds, where they are shirred again under a bow ef ribbon. .On tbe upper part of the plastron is a velvet collar, lined with silk, which closes at tbe left side by means of a hook and eye. Over this is placed a rosette of velvet ribbon, or a handsome satin bow.' STYLISH DRAPERIES. The draperies of fashionable dresses are now invariably made to form part of what was formerly called "a trimmed skirt," as they are attached to the belt ot the lower skirt instead of being a sejiarate over-skirt ; this arrangement ia far more convenient and simple, as it
makes the dress consist only of two pieces, and it insures the graceful
hanging and correct proportions
of the entire skirt. Two kinds of
draperies are in style this season.
first, those with long straight effects
suitable for stout figures ; and second, those festooned in many wrinkled curves that add to the
breadth of slight figures. Tbe
tong draperies are often attached io the waist in tbe back, or are cut
In one piece with it in princesse
fashion ; they then consist of a single breadth of double-width stuF,or
two breadths of the fabrics that are three-fourths of a yard wide, or else
three or four breadths of the narrow summer silks. They are usually lined throughout with crinoline lawn, and turned over in a
roll or alight puff just below the
waist line, and caught at intervals below on the wrong side to give tbe effect of the curved pleats called organ pleats. The fronts fall into a deep apron that is almost without wrinkles, and may be turned baok in rcvers on each side, or else caught up high on the left side, aud the space shown between on the lower skirt must have a croscwiee trimming of wide tucks, bias folds, rows braid, or ofelse flounces; these flounces may be many narrow bias frills, or else three deep pleatings. Another favorite front fur
such dresses is two deep gathered flounce, with the lower eaves cut
out iu long leal scsllops, and bound or else faced ; above this the drapery falls very irregularly.
A favorite festooned drapery haa one curve on the left hip, with a much deeper curve next it, falling on the front and right aide of the skirt ; these curves do not lap, but eaob extends up to the belt in many wrinkles; these are pretty when edged with lace or with fringe, but thev are also finished bv a plain
facing on a bem. Another favor
ite drapery has the two full back breadths extending along the hips without being cut off, and drooping
in front in two curves that may be even in panier shape, or else in the two irregular curves just described.
Young ladies who like unique dra
peries copy Miss terry s graceful
over-dresses ; these are merely a lone round full skirt with a simi
lar skirt below it, and the drapery consists in catching up on the left
side of the over-skirt, as if to throw
it over the arm, or to thrust its
wrinkled fullnes into a belt or
loop of ribbon pendant from the
waist.
Sometimes an apron is made of
donble-width woollen stuff placed
nearly plain across the front, and
folded down the left side in one
broad double box pleat; tassels, or cords, or ribbon bows, or ro
settes, ornament this pleat. For
those whose hips are too small, the
apron over-skirts are now made without sloping at tba top, aud are
either shirred or pleated to the belt.
French models still have the ver-
tugadin puff added to overokirts,
and they also illustrate the long
over-skirt, which is really so long
that the merest glimpse is given on
the front and the left side of two or
three ruffles of lace, or of pinked silk, or of finely pleated satin, that
edge tbe foot of the lower skirt.
Sometimes tbe drapery forms
Watteru-like pleat, that is held by
a great bow near the top of the
left side, while in others the whole
effect of a puffed back and wrink
led apron is given by drawing up
one sine in a aouoie lestoon. LOWER SKIRTS.
The lower or foundation skirt remains very narrow, measnring only about two and a fourth yards
for ladies of medium site. Its
shape is not changed, except that
it is less sloped at the ton, but its
greatest inunesa ia still connea to a very small space at the back of the belt. The inexpensive silks at 50
or 75 cents a yard are preferred to
all other materials for this founda
tion, as they make better hanging
skirts than alpacas or the clinging
cottons, such as Bilesia, cambric, or paper muslin, and they are far less weighty than tbe majority of fab
rics used for the outer parts of the
dress. Thev are now widely facet!
with the stiff corded or barred mus
lins, and a na-irow facing of alpaca
or of xilk is placed outside ot this
, Braid for the edge may he sewed
on as a binding, or flue the single
edge is sewed in with the facing.
The outside stuff only covers this silk foundation as tar as it is visible below the draperies ; and here correspondents are informed that
pleated skirts, whether box-pleated or in plain kilts, are always attach
ed to such a foundation skirt ; oth
erwise the pleats would fall apart at the foot in a slovenly
way. In many cases a narrow
pleating and an outside facing of
the dress goods cover the lower
part of this foundation skirt.
From three to five lengthwise box
pleats on the front and side breadths of this skirt remain in favor for the
lower skirts. The fashion of put
ting cross rows of braid or galloon
between these pleats is also popu
lar, and another fancy has narrow frills of lace or else bands of em
broidery for denaratine these panel
like pleats. While short women delight in the unbroken lengthwise
pleats, those who are tall have rows of tucks or braid pot on before the
pleats are taken up, or else tbey get their best effect by having from
three to ten gathered flounces across the front and side breadths while
the back ia covered by the long
drapery of two breadths, which now, though made of the richest satin, may have three wide tucks across it at the lower end. A large cushion stuffed with hair is now attached under the belt in the back to support the drapery, or
else there are two cushions made to meet just at the pocket opening. A good way of enlarging the size of the hips is to add a boxpleating twelve inches deep of corded ronelin inside the skirt, sewing it to tbe belt, and beginning at the seams next the front breadth, where it is put in scantily, but increases in fullness to the back. The dress extenders, or steel springs across the baok breadths, are still used in the way illustrated in a Bazar Supplement when they were first introduced in Paris. Gathered and finely pleated flounces are now more used than those with
box-pleats, as the box pleats are
preferred tor tbe skirt itself rather than for - its flounces. Tucked flounces are much used, and may be either straight or bias, gathered or pleated. The long slender scallops are a nice finish fur gathered flounces, and it may be added that instead of battlemented squares deep over-skirts are now cut in pointed scallops eight or ten inches long that droops on the flounces of the lower skirt all around, or else only across the front and aides.
