The decision of the AttorneyGeneral that national banks most send in their called three per cents for redemption and deposit other bonds for security, has brought in 1400,000,000 of bonds, while only $8,000,000 new ones have been deposited, indicating that the hanks prefer to withdraw their circulations. The free-trade nonsense came; so near swamping the Democratic party in the recent elections that; the President finds it necessary to announce that he ts not and never lias been a free-trader and that he , favors "tariff reform" the new cry of that party which means "tariff: lor revenue only.9 There is no doubt that this will be the banner aoder which the Democratic party will fight the next Presidential cams'"!The incline railroad from the lent of Lookout mountain np under the point where General Hooker troops made the ascent, thence to Sunset Bock on the west side of the mountain, is completed. The cable is laid and coaches will be put on the road this week. The road is one and three-quarters miles in length, and the asnnt, which formerly occupied two hours, can now ba made in five minutes.
The presidential widows are ranch more tenacious of life than the presidents or vice-presidents. The eeontry is paying yearly annuities of $5,000 each to the widow
of President Tyler, the widow of
President Grant and the widow ot
President Garfield, and only a few years ago ceased paying a like annuity to the widow of Abraham Lincoln. Mrs. Tyler was married when her husband was president, and has survived the Tyler reign full forty-five years.

Deatb of W. W. Dnrand. This community was shocked, Saturday morning, upon the receipt
of a telegram from Indianapolis stat
ing that W. W. Durand, one of the bt'st known men in the town, had
dropped dead in the Union Depot
of that city. This telegram wss confirmed by an article printed at
an early hour of the morning in
the Indianapolis Journal, stating : Iast night, when the 11 o'clock train from Cincinnati, over tbe Big four roadarrived in the Union Depot, a large elder, ly gentleman stepped from a oar and started toward the lunch stand. He had taken but two or three steps when he fell on his 'face dead. From letters and cards in his pockets he was identified as W. W. Durand, personal manager of Pat Harris's mammoth museums in Cincinnati, Louis
ville, Baltimore, and other cities. There
was nothing on his person by

chain a charm, presented by "friends of
the press in New York, Washington and Baltimore." lie had $109 in monny. His remains wore taken to Planner & Heramown's undertaking establishment, where Dr. Hodges made an examination of the body and found tbe cause of de-Uh heart disease. A telegram was sent by the chief of police to Pat Hnrris,at Cincinnati, announcing the death, and asking what disposition should be made of the body. Mr. Durand was apparently a man botween fifty and sixty years of ago.
The Sunday edition of the Jour
nal said :

well known circus manager, who died of

managed many of the best snows in the
country. Until about a year ago be was manager of the Great Eastern Circus, and when the show went ofl" the road he took

The remains arrived here on the
evening train, Saturday, and were

Mr. Durand was 49 years of age,
and leaves a wife and two children. Dr. J. J. Durand, of Chatanooga,

The soundness of timber may be ascertained by placing the ear close to one end while another person delivers a succession of blows with a hammer or mallet upon the
opposite end, when a continuance
of the vibrations will indicate to an
experienced ear even the degree of
soundness. If only a dull thud meets the car, the listener may be certain that unsoundness exists. A Western Octopus. It is said that some of the western railroads even control the religion along their lines. A new resident of Ellendale, Dakota, handed iu a letter to one of the
churches, and was asked :
"D;d you come by the Blank and Blank Railroad ?" "No." "Do you patronize the company's elevator at this station?" "No." "Have yon signed a petition follower freight rates?'' "I have." "Then you had better take back
your letter and apply to the Bapiist church, two blocks - down and
around the corner. I hat church hauls most everything by mule teams, while we stand in with the railroad." Wall Street News.

Setting; Tired of Election Rascality. Indianapolis News. Judge Martindale said to-day
that he was willing to lose his vote
for five years if he could but stop this scoundrelism relative to elections. There were a number of men in this city, he said, who were in earnest in this matter, and who were like The News iu their independence, and these men were getting tired of going through the form of an election year after year, only to have the returns made out to suit the complexion of the party which happened to have charge of the canvassing board. They were in earnest, and it is their pur
pose to send whoever is guilty ot these frauds straight to tbe place where they properly belong. And this scoundrelism is not confined to Marion county it has spread by example, to many counties of the State, and the whole matter should be investigated in a thorough manner before another election is held. There are doubtless men in positions of Indiana who care very little if they get the votes or not, so long as they are assured of another and shorter way of getting tbe office. Are there enough honest men in Indiana to insure a thorough investigation of election frauds ? Let every couuty begin at home.
