Cunningham which sho desires to put on the stage for the benetit of a G. A. R. Post. She signs herself "Belle Boyd,ex-rebel spy" and in a postscript asks if the people are now convinced that she is genuine.

Quieting Title.

The Supremo Court has affirmed the decision of the Montgomery Circuit Court in the case of Nathaniel Hamilton against Norman S. Byram to quist a title to some land. The court says: (1) In a suit to quiet title, the hefendants have the right to show, under a general denial, that the deed under whicli the plaintiff claims title is in reality a mortgage. (2) After a judgment lion has attached to real estate, a conveyance- by the juilgment debtor, which is in fact a mortgage, cannot affect the rights of the judgment holders, and they are entitled subject to the mortgage, to proceed against the property.

Homer's Poems.

Prof. II. Z. McLnin read a scholarly aud well written paper last evening before the Ouiatenon Club on the "Origin of the Homeric Poems." While the papor was lengthy it nevertheless was interesting and evinced considerable research and extensive reading. The Professor is of the opinion that Homer is the greatost name in the history of cpio poetry, and stands as high in that department as Shakspeare does in the drama, but it has come down to us in modern times unfortunately as little better than a name. He believed in the historical reality of the author of the Iliad aud the Odyssey and gave his time us about 1,100 years B. O.

The Grawfordsville Presbytery. The Grawfordsville Presbytery will moot next Tuesday evening at the First Presbyterian church in Lafayette to discuss the revision of the oonfession of faith. The oommittee, composed of Dr. 11. .T. Cunningham, Judge A. D. Thomas and Prof. H. Z. MoLain, of this city and Rev. Mr. Parker, of Cutler, will report iu favor of revision but just to what extent cannot be ascertained at present. The Presbytery which will consist of about 71 delegates will then adopt, reject or revise the report of the committee as it sees best aud send the result to the State Synod which in turn sends it to the General Assembly together with reports from all other Indiana Presbyteries.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

HOW GEOBGE'SDAY IS CELEBRATED ^I1I WASHINGTON,

A Trip to the Groat Washington Monument— Beuuioii of the Mexican War Veterans—Personal.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22, 18!0.—Washington City is the only place, perhaps, in this country where all the holidays of the year are observed, and these holidays provided for by law are religiously kept by the government employes, who looks forward to the next as soon as the sun sets on his tirst, and think it a great scheme to have a day off without losing his pay. Washington to-dey was a magniticeut looking place, the air olear and cold, the sun shxniug brightly and every one in holiday attire. The monument is perhaps the greatest attraction to the resident, as it is the only new thing to him about the oity, and he is well repaid for his trip to the summit by the grand stretch of country which is spread before him. Far off to the west, if the day is clear, amy be seen the outlines of the Blu* Ridge, sixty miles away, and nearer by the peaked top of Sugar Loaf Mountain can be plainly seen, and yet is forty miles distant. Alexandria looks as though it might bo but a stone's throw distant, while Arlington is at one's foet. It is the highest permanent structure in the world, the Efiel tower being higher but not permanent as it will likely be taken down in a few years. Next in interest is the Zoological disjday in the rear of the Smithsonian Institution. Quite a collection of animals has been already secured and should Congress pass the bill providing for a park on Bock Creek wo may expect to see as large a collection of animals, birds and fishes as can be found in the world. None of the public buildings are open on a holiday, which is a great disappointment to many as the time cannot be taken from labor to visit them during the working days of the year, and one must content himself with looking at the outside and wondering what is inside those doors, which are so jealously guarded. The oldest inhabitants association holds its annual meeting on Washington's birthday and talk over the virtues of the immortal

George, and eat a feast of good things. The National Association of Mexican War Veterans of which our Gen. Manson is first Vice-President, also holds its seventeenth annual session to-day and the veterans of '4G, renewed old memories together. Although Congress was not in session the usual amount of lobbying went on, and whenever a Senator or Representative was to be found, he was in close converse with somebody who had a pet measure to get through. The district militia paraded in the afternoon, or at least several companies made independent parades, and delighted the eyes of the girls who tilled the sidewalks of the avenues. By the way, what is there in uniform so attractive to the softer aezi I asked that question of a young lady frieud the other day, and received the answer, "Why, its the man of course." Washington is a Paradise on a holiday for the girl who dotes on a uniform. Notwithstanding the crispness of the atmosphere, excursion boats were run on the river,and the Mount Vernon boats especially, were well patronized. Livery stable keepers were thankful that the day was so fine as many a young fellow was to be

ing as in former days during the entire day and I was out until dusk. I did not see one mar. under the influenoe of liquor, which speaks volumes for the morals of the city.

Attorney-General Miohener was in the city this week, as was H. M. LaFollett, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. State Auditor Bruce Carr is also in the party, and it is safe to say that something was done while they were here. Mrs. Representative Wilson sang a solo at a concert given by the ladies of the Metropolitan M. E. church on the night of February 21, and was highly applauded,

Representative John Wilson has entirely recovered from an attack of la grippe, which was a severe one, and he is able to attend to his Congressional duties. H.

WOIK

Crawfordsville is oelebrated

oim iu the surrounding cities for CITY her dressy young men, and the Di i)KS. dovious waysoftho "Crawfordsville dudo'' are proverbial wherever his foot has proudly pressed iu his unrelenting conquest of hearts. Good clothes are all right in their place, but when wo see [.our ltids working for from three to five dollars a week, sporting thirty-five dollar suits, Dunlap hats aud dollar neckties, the subject assumes a different aspect, and the question, how "can they stand it," naturally arises. Good friends, they don't stand it, but you can rest assured of one thing and that is that somebody else does. They have heard that "the apparel oft proclaim the man," and they render another part of the same passago thus, "costly thy habit as the market affords." "As thy purse oan buy," is not apart of the question with them. In my mind's eye I can see those of them who have escaped oriminal paths, fifteen or twenty years hence. They dress plain enough now, goodness knows, and they

hard and they have large families, and no fortune and aplenty of sad reflections.'

1 heard one of our good

KETKUTAKOEoitizeus describe the afCOJIES fectiug manuer in which LATE. convict Vaughan bid farewell to the wife he had abused. Finishiug his sentimental discourse ho remarked to his sympathizing audience: "Gentlemen, it's a shame to send a .man of naturally good inclinations to prison where he will bo obliged to associate with hardened criminal?." Our good citizons seemed to forget that most all criminals are inclined to good, after the evil has been committed, and especially after conviction. What a pity it is to be sure that they are not good men before the commission of orimo, and again what a pity it is that their lives subsequent to their release, in a vast number of cases, anyhow, seem to have lost, in some mysterious man. ner, the good inclinations of their punishment period.

'•. '1 I

It is a singular fact, the

ANACHRONISM Bible, Ben Hur, and a IN AIIT. number of good commentaries notwithstanding, that a very great number of people, and "church people" at that, entertain the idea that the Wise Men visited Bethlehem either upon the night CT the birth of Christ, or at least while the manger was still headquarters for the light of the world. you, yourself, are better informed, my friend, ask half a dozen of your acquaintances and see how many answer correctly. To illustrate the prevalence of this error a striking incident occurs to my mind. During the holiday season I saw in ono of your bookstores an elegant engraving, representing the. wise mon paying their homage to the mangered Christ Child. No, I have not confused them with the shepherds, for they had no crooks, were presenting jeweled boxes, and on the outside stood their unpacked camels. The paraphernalia of the stable was represented in full, manger, beams, fodder, etc., while tbe lowly sheep and oxen gazed on the scene in pea-eyed wonder. I presume that we might properly denominate thiB as an&lxronisin in art.

My friend Elliot, a stu-

•raoooirrs dent of Wabash College, ON A told me the other d-vy that COLLEGE the oratorical contestants

CONTEST, were having a hard time in choosing judges. Every capable man in Crawfordsville and many from other plaoes were suggested only to have their honor impeached by some aspiring disciple of Herr Most or Webster. Ponderous, indeed, were the objections urged, and likewise of great moment. Said one, "Rev. Soands knows I don't attend his church," another urged, "Judge Thisandthat knows I am a Democrat and don't out my hair but once a year," yet another whined, "Mr. Goodstock is down on mo because his granddad fit in the revolution, and mine diden't 'till the war of "12." Others objected strenuously to good men but maintained their right as American citizens to "kiok" on a juror without giving a reason why. Now it seems to me, that while there is no doubt but that all the educated men in Grawfordsville, are low, biased, unscrupulous Booundrels, who are well up in college politics, and

know who to spot and who to favor, that these young men might realize their position. They stand "between the devil and the deep sea," they are bound to havn judges, so why not take the first villains whose names sre proposed for that position, and spend the time they pass wrangling, in pratioe, so that t'io winner may stand some show at Indianapolis. JOHN BISLAND.

THEATRICAL THOUGHTS.

The class of uttructioiis is perceptibly butter than it was two mouths ago, aud the houses arc correspondingly larger. This fact is at ouce a rebuke to the man. agcr for mistaking Crawfordsville for a third olass show town, and an evidence tiiat the theatrical taste of Hoosier Athens is of a high order. Even the gallery god rejoices at the improvement oiaee last year.

As the Schubert Quartette stood before the train at the Vandalia train yesterday morning, an old farmer got oil' and walking up to Miss Mecusker with a fatherly air said, "Why, llosie, is this you?" She replied that it was not Rosie and you should have heard big George Iott give her the laugh.

All the German Americans in town ore home sick for the fathurlaud after seeing Karl Gardener.

Miss Clura Louise Kellogg always generously responds to appeals for encores, and delights her audiences by singing some of our old fashioned but always popular songs like 'The Suwauec River," "HomeSweet Home,"or "Coming Through the Rye."
