THE PROGRESS.

SUBSCRIPTION, $1.50 PEK TEAR, Wm. A. Gabk, Editor and Proprietor.. A Word about the Progress. The Progress is now in its 26th year under its present management, having been issued under the above name on the 5th of May, 1867. As a Republican paper it litis never flinched, supporting cordially all nominations of the party whether the men selected were friends or personal enemies. This has always been a part of the pa per's religion and will bo so long as it is under control of the pres--ent owner. The Peogeess has endeavored to givo "the facts" in printing news of the county, without col oring statements to make them startling, and has endeavored to be thought of as reliable rather than as sensational. The paper is now laboring un dcr some disadvantages because the subscription list, with the en tire office, was destroyed by fire on the 23d ult., bat liard work and perseverance will soon put the PsoGRfiSS on its old time awl all will be weK footing, It is pleasant to nnd so many w-;rm friends and supporters am ov.-r our best citizens of town and county. Scores of men have come f Mi-ward with not only words of sympathy but with financial as sistance in the way of paying up hills all unsolicited upon our part. u shows, however, who your trknds are, and we are proud ; to knovt that the Progress has many of them. That was an enjoyable reception which the survivors of Co. E, USth Ind. Vols, held at the home of Capt. Wm. B. Hughes, Saturday night, Dec. 31st. Previous tQ the entertainment, however, the association re-elected the old officers: Prest., Capt. W. B. Hughes; Treasurer, Ren. C. Smith; Secretary, W. L. Adams. It was determined to hold a picnic on some day in June next. Maj. Mulky and wife were invited guests, and together with the "boys of Co, E," sat down to one of the grandest dinners of the year. Recitations were given by Mrs. Mulky, Miss OIHe Hughes, and by the sou and daughter of Col. Layton. After some time enjoyably spent in talking over the old days, the company separated, every one warmly wishing the hospital Captain and his accomplished wife another year of happiness and prosperity. Members of the company present were as follows: Wm. L. Adams, Ben. C. Smith, Wm. C. Smith, A. H. Wilson, John W. Walker, Thomas Kilpatrick, W. M. Kerr, Milton Myersj Robert H. Patton, Jacob W. Patton, W. C. Fyfe, Andrew J. jLampkins, David 15. Gray, and Thomas Eavins. The comrades living in the county who could not be present were: W. I. Potter, James C. Voss, John C. Rock, Gilbert T. Paul, John Adams, John M. Faris and N. E. Mathers. The above was written for last week's Progress. Adjusters (as they are called) for insurance companies, have some peculiar methods of arriving at results. For instance youoaay &- 154,000 worth of goods, or stock entirely destroyed by . fire-, and the adjuster will place his-own -figures on the loss, deduct 50 per ' cent, for wear and tear, 10 per cent, to make himself solid with the home office, and then expect the insured party to be extremely grateful because the adjuster didn't worry him jnto a spell of sickness. According to the theory of the average adjuster a man could with propriety pay 50c. for a good dinner before it is eaten, but after it has been stored away it has depreciated, and he. should then hand the landlord a quarter. If the Progress is wrong in this criticism- we trust some other good Christian man will correct us, as. we would not knowingly do these shrewd gentlemen an injustice. Foundation Day. On the 20th, Foundation Day, the 73d anniversary of Indiana University will be celebrated with appropriate ceremonies. The program is as follows: MOSSING,. 10 O'CLOCK. At Walt. St. Pies.

Loudon's agency has the companies in which the Progress block was insured. It is a reliable line of companies, and Louden differs from many agents in that he does not desert the insured in the hour distress.

Why is the word bald-beaded? made to do so ranch service, when the-sborter and simpler "bald" expresses the full idea and fiUs?the bill completely? Let Qs hear , less- about bald-beaded men and more about bald m.on,,if:,it is nec essary to make f renuen-ti mention of this class. By. the way, a bald woman is a rarity, a circumstance which must be attributed to the feminine habit of wearing hats that allow free access of air to the hnir. it the masculine calf of tho race becomes ultimately bald the stiff and poorly ventilated hats which they wear will be largely, if not principally, responsible for it. jv. jr. Tribune. THE; MUTUAL FRIEND. A Gnat Factor in the lovcJHMttnc OS South America. AH the Iove-maftfns HLSontb America iust be carried' on through a, this! person. If a youth desires to marry he does not speak of it to the girl whom ho wishes for a wife, but to his twn hither. The latter, if he approves. goes to the father of the young lady and, the two discuss the matter together.- . Each tells tho other what he will do for the . young folks, and be tween them- a -, contract is drawn up respecting satUeraents. and all such things. The intending bridegroom is not permitted to see his nance -for a mo ment before the wedding. As soon as that event has taken place- -there is a wedding breakfast, arid usually with out the formality ot a prelimin.ary.-j tour tne couple settle down to- Hvtnroither in an establishment of their own or more often in the house of the parents of the bride or groom. One drawback about marriage in South America, says the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, is that in taking a girl to wife it is apt to be considered a mater of course that ';he young man marries her whole family also. He has no occasien for surprise or disgruntlement, if, together with the bride, fifteen or twenty people come to share his household and domestic comforts, . including air her available relations and' their servants. These Latins are a very clannish race, and a father is apt to be willing to adopt a raft of sisters and cousins and aunts, npt to-mcntion a mother-in-law, rather than have his son or daughter leave the:family roof. It is due to the strength of family attachments among them.! that hotels in South America are. only from strangers from afar; . the natives always find hospitable entertainmefit aJuongv the. kindred.

English of the man behind1 the tvicketi I want to look for my husband."A bulky package of photographs of the "unknowns" was handed to her. She sat down on a chair and commenced her sad task. She scanned each grewsonie picture carefully, endeavoring to find the well-known face. The happy youngster picked up caoh portrait with a cry of "That's him!" and succeeded in discovering at least twenty "hims" before his mother had finished the package. One of those sympathetic souls entared and spied the sorrowing widow. After a few questions, he assisted her in her search, sayiogr ; Ion must feel very deeply the-iosstf-your husband."

There is an armless man-, living: fa Antwerp who paints by using: his toes arid who is above the average as a copyist, says the Newport Neva.. In the gallery he is as much, ot a show as are the pictures. His indifference to surroundings leads an observer to forget that this is a creat ure o&flesh and blood aad-sonl. But one woman saw deeper. She was sitting near when a letter was handed the artist. He took it in one foot and a dexterous toe of the other slit a side of the envelope open. The- letter came out and was read with a visibly fallen air and distressed look. The armless man evidently had bad news. He refolded the sheet, a toe gliding along the edges, creamng theni, exactly as you use your thumb when in a meditative mood. Then the foot carae up to the breast-pocket and tucked the letter in. This was all done so easily that it seemed impossible these feet were not hands, but when foot flew up to the face and with the back of tho big too brushed a tear from the armless man's eye then indeod he ceased to be jb&? cnine.He -rose, slipped his' feet into ldw shoes and went sadly out. It was a pathetie picture, to be always bung in the memory gallery beside the Rubens and the Quentin Matsys canvases of the Autweru museum.

She clutched her dolly to her breast, in childish mother play. As if she fenrecl some dreadful giant would snatch it right avuy. "Are you alone, my little girl'r" 1 asked as I stooped down. "My mnmn-n told me Dod was here," she said with half a frown. "6he thscd mo an' my dolly, an' I dess I don't know you." "But, dear," 1 answered, smiling, "tell me wiiere yow'ro going to."

QUEER PUNISHMENTSA&nlteratlon by Merebnnts Was Severely Famished in Qneen Mary's Reign. An examiaatioa of the different en tries contained in the Macbyn dairy sheds n strong light oa trims and criminal pnoisumeat duriug the reign of Mary, who served the English people irora loos to loon.: First he mentions a . vonoe fellow who was tied to a post, "hard . by the Standard in Cbep" with a . collar - of iron about his neck and soundly whipped every two hours "fer five days together by two stout men'' for the crime of pretending to see visions.. Further on. we read:. "Chekcn, a parson of St. Nicholas, Cold Harbor, was this day driven about the streets of London in a cart, the parson himself dressed in a yellow gown;" all of this because he bad sold his wife to the butcher. Was St only a coincidence that a. bntcher was one of tho parties to this transaction or was it tho intention of the goodly man" to have his better half served up in roasts and troumedees? As it is now noarly 850 yean since "the parson" committed that uncanny crime, it is doubtful if we ever find out whether she "went to the skillet" or not According to other items in Machrn one can. readily see that purveyors of provisions were the- same kind of mortals then as they are today. They were inclined to palm off their base goods, as sound, to use their arts to take in the customer, only the punishment inflicted when, the fraud was disqovered was somewhat: more personal and severe than it i.i now. Macbyn says that a butcher of that time who had exposed diseased meat for sale "was forced to ride about the streets of London, his face toward the horse s tail, with half a lamb before and another half behind and beef and veal borne before him on a long pole." Men who sold spoiled lish were put in tne piuory with decayed Dsn strung about their necks.

Life in the country, especially iftour Southern country, where people lived far apart and were emplor ed oft entimes at a considerable distance from one another, and from the houses or homes in which they ate and slept,. tended, by exercise in communicating with one anothor, to strengthen and improve their voices for high, and prolonged notes. A wider range to the. vocal sounds was constantly afforded and frequently required. I ne voices of women as well as of men were often utilized for "long-distance calls.'' It may be amusing to note the difference in intonation which was usually exhibited by the sexes. When a man had occasion to summon any one from a distance, the prolonged tone was placed. on tho first note, the erapasis on the socond; thus, "O h. John!" If a female called, the pro longed tone and the emphasis were both placed on the last note; thus. xou, John-nr y!" Hollowing, screaming, yelling for one person or another, to thoir dogs, or at some of the cattle on the planta tion, witn tlio aceompany,uig;reverbatiou from hilltops, over i valleys and plains, wore familiar sounds throughout the farming districts -of tho South in the days gone bv. It used to be said of i my father's old negro foreman that he could bn distinctly understood a mile or more away. Hunting,, .which was enjoyed and indulged in more or less by noarly evory citizen of the South, was also conducive to this characteristic development. Dr. J. llarvic Dew, in Century.

FAMOUS HUNTERS.

Men Who Slay Sllghty wild Animals wltl linees. In.Sig. Gossi's "Seven Years .in tin Soudan' the author described "th brothers Duma," two hunters "renowned from Kaka to the Victoria Nyanziv," They were in the habit of killing the buffalo, the rhinoceros ami the leopard tho fiercest animals of tho country with no more emotion than a Kiiropean would experience in shooting rabbits. Thev were often sort for from different parts to kill some lion which was doing great miseh-ef. Of their elephant-hunting the author says: In all tho villages the brothers found an enthusiastic 'welcome, tlio people knowing that wherever they were meat was never wanting. ISoth men were strong-limbed and uf uncommon agility. When an elephant rushed upon them they calmly awaited him ami at the right moment leaped to one side. Tiro elephant, not being able to stop, turned toward one of the two brothers and tho other plunged a lance into his side. The animal then quitted the first man nnd fell- upon the one who had wounded him, and at that instant the other cut the tendons of the hind legs, bringing the elephant to tho ground. One day, however, one of tho brother was near falling a victim to his boldness. Ho attacked an elephant alone in the usual n ay, but stumbled and fell. Ho rose directly, but tho elephant had already seized him in his trunk, and hurled him to a distance of fifteen feet. Fortunately he fell in the middle of a thick brush aud escaped with some scratches and bruises. His friends laughed at the accident and the next day he said: "I would rather eat my wife seven times than not take my revenge." He sot out again, refusing the company of his brother. Late in tho evening he returned and called tho village together. "Gome-;" he said, "help mo bring in tho tusks, and take as much moat for yourselves as you like." All the population followed him. He had killed nine huge elephants. 30YS THAT SUCCEED; . They Are Always Willing to Do trior thun They Are Told, "A new boy came into our office today," said a wholesale grocery merchant to his wife at the supper-table. "Ho was hired by the firm at the request of tho senior member, who thought the boy gave promise of good things. But I feel sure that boy will be out of the uflice in less than . week."' "What makes yon thinX so?" M TJ .i , 1 1. to know was just exactly ho'1 P n-nnfi1 much he was expected to do. "Perfiaps you will change your mind about him." "Perhaps I shall," replied the merchant, "but 1 don't think bo." Three days later the business man said to his wife: "About that boy you remember I mentioned two or three days ago. Well, he is Die best boy that ever entered the store. "How did you find that out?" "In the easiest way in the world1, Tho first morning after tho boy began work lie performed very faithfully and systematically the exact duties assigned which he had been, so carer f ul to have explained to him. When he had finished he came to me and aid: 'Mr. M , I have finished. all that work. Now what can I doP' I "1 was a little surprised, but I gave I him a little job of work, and forgot all about him until be came into my room ; with the question, ''What next?'

Few people outside of the National Capital Press club know how the governors of that club ligittatively sat down on Bernhardt and prevented the occurrence of a notable historic event, says Kale FicVFa Washington. It will do no harm to tell it now, however. On tho next to the last appearance of Be rnhardt hero in Washington it happened that Margaret Mather was also playing iu town. Il; seems that Bernhardt had expressed not only her willingness but her desins to appoar with Margaret Mather in "Komeo and Juliet," Mather, of course, was very willing to play with the great French actress, aud Beruhardt's manager made an olcr to the Press club that Bernhardt would appear with Mather in that play for the benefit cf tho club in such a way that the club would bo prohted very extensively. Tha club needed somo such assistance, but there was a decided difference of opinion among the members, fecmt were strongly opposed to the idea of benefits. A meeting of tho governors of the club was held aud there was a long discussion. Iu the (Snd a vote was taken that resulted in the club declining Bernhardi.'s kindness. This was probably the first time Mmo. Bernhardt ever made such an offer and probably in tho only case on record where her services wero declined. At any rate, Washington lost an opportunity that it will never have again, aud Sara.ii was deeply diiigubted. It Makes a Difference.

"The engins rocks, sways and faitiy jumps at times under his feet, and if tho li reman doesn't mind his p's aud q's he is. liable to.lose his balance and be flung from the rapid-gaited train. This is more especially tho cas-i iu rounding a curve. There,-if- the balance -s lust, the lircniaii may be-hurled from the train. I remember n case in point which happened a comparatively short time agooti the Fort Wayne. A fireman was Hung from his ituginn ono dark aigl.t as the train-wan rushing along Of course he was snoti missed and a search made. . lie was found and, wonderful to say, was not B'-T'.-ously injured." A -Question of Age. It nt on a Third street car yesterday, e ays the Cincinnati Times-Star, that a woman had a little spat with the conductor in which, though she lost her nickel, sho came eut ahead in the argument. Sho had with hor two halfbushel market baskets and a girl, who looked to ba about 12 years of tigo. She pissed up a quarter aud received back 15 cents. "An' where is the other nieko' ?" says she. "Why, there are two of you," replied the conducter. An' it's two of us there is, is there?" says she. "T.ere is," says he. "An' how co vez make out thai?" says she-. "An't tha-; your girl?" says ho. "It is," gays the. "Wei!, then there'? two of ytiiiv" says he. "A roint ycz! Sho an't nobody yet," says sho. "She's, ovor 9 years old," says lie. "She's not," says she. "Slu! is," says he. "Well, I ousfht to know. I've known her longer than you," says she. "I've known her nine years invncif," says he. "An' I've known her ten," says she, "an' she's boon a-riilitig on the street ears with mo ai . tnose years an 1 never pain n ! cent for her yet." Aud the old Udy glared furiously at tlio humiliated conductor, wondering why the passengers gigyVid t little bit. No Hurrying Tliat Itnad. "Did you ever ride on a train where they s top !.o kill snakes?" said a young man n few days ago. "Well, I did. While coming over tho Redstone branch in I-'ayetto county, last week, the train suddenly chocked its apeed and siopped. On going to the windows and platform to learn the causo of the, sudden stoppage the passengers were treated to a novel sight. The lii-ointin, with a long poker, and tho eugiu.'er, with a. link, ecri) making fr.inlij efforts to kill a largo snake.
