The Henry Defalcation.

There aro no new developments in ine Benry defalcation case beyond what was itatel in THE JOURNAL yesterday. So jgr as can be ascertained the amount is mbstantially as given, between 83,500 ind 83,000. The boudamen of the doaultiuR Trnatoe held a mooting to-day mil decided that the first step to be Itkcn was to have a thorough examination of tho books by a committee of competent men. They seleoted John

Iiico nnd W. W. Morgan as the committee who will begin the irork of investigation at once. It is to to hoped that errors may bo fouud sufficient to materially reduoe the amount that must be met by tho bondsmen, none of whom are able to stand the loss. Mr. Grubb is in Terre Haute and thsrjfora could not bo Seen. What 3his to say concerning the statement of Mr. Henry is not yet known. Both Ed Co'ieinia and James Coleman deny that thay owe tho unfortunate ex-Trus-tw one cent.

John N. Insley Shot.

Yesterday a telegram came to J. J. Insley meroly announcing that his brother, J. N. Insley in Oskalooaa,Kanhad shot himself and requesting him to come. Mr. Insley was in Fowler but was wired at once and arrived home Inst evening. -He telegraphed to Kansas for details, but again nn unsatisfactory message come which only said that it was n«oessary for him to come at once. He left for Oskaloosa at 1 £.3 p. m. not knowing whether his brother was alive or dead or the manner in which he was shot, ft is presumed however the accident 00cured while hunting, J. X. Insley or Xewt Insley, as he is better kaown, was raised in this oounty and left for Kansas, where he lioo since resided some years ago.

Getting Eeady for the Pettit Trial, ill who expect to take part in the Pettit trial are preparing themselves for the event. The lawyers oa both sides are devoting themselves assiduously to the study of medicine and espeoially that part of it relating to stryohnine Mil its affinities. Col. DjH»rt, of Lifayetto, oae of Pettit's attorneys, lias put himself under the instruction of an expert chemist. Billy White is also pouringover modioli books to familiarue himsolf with the terms he will undoubtedly have to take down in short hand in his oipaoity of oourt rapo rter.

The Slugger Home.

Ed Cory, the distinguished puglist, is down from Chicago where he has been forking his more peaceful business of plastering. An impending carpenter's strike lias put him out of work for time and ho will remain in our midst about two weeks. "Proclaim th 3 glad tidings o'er Isreil's dark sea."

ORIGINAL PACKAGES.

Tho proseut school board in its hunt for a superintendent havo unanimously come to the conclusion that tho avenge applicant is a thing of beauty aud a joy forever, that is to himself. .Every niuil the oarriers deposit on the Secretary's desk several pound packuges which he at onco puts down as applications. Opening the averuge packtige you first come to the formal application written by tho applicant. It covers several pages, uulogistio of himself, sets forth his post career and future greatness, explains in detail some pet theories which he will introduce in case of selection whioli will bring tho schools to the highest possible standard, and closes by stating that a careful consideration of his claims can only result to the satisfaction of all. It does too, to all but himself. In the upper rig tit hand corner of the first page is found a stamp photograph of tho author, and in one particular ho is strikingly sitnilur in every iustuueo. Ho wears a fixed and cordial smile, calculated to make spring daisies pop through January's snow. The balance of the uforesaid pound puckugu consists of his credentials. He is endorsed by ministers, lawyers, merchants, "eminent educators" aud in fact everybody who wuuta him to leave for pasture's now. Such is tho nature of the average application and from it he who runs may read the ohuruoter of thii uverage applicant,

It is surprizing to oontemplate tho number of 10 year old girls who have been married within tho last month. In fact it seems thut mover one half the marriages lately one or other of the contracting parties ure under age. It looks to a passing observer as though mutters matrimonial were drifting back to those primitive pioneer timet) when our ieminine ancestors took to themselves loug dresses and husbands on their fifteenth birthduys. I am afraid it also suggests to mauy minds the trite but true adage "Marry i.a haste and repent at leisure," That repenting is going on in Montgomery oounty is slyly demonstrated by the 13 divorce oases which come up iu tho September term of court.

I read in your paper the other day, Mr. Editor, that my quandom friend, Mr. Pettit, was a stockholder in the Battle Ground Camp Meeting Association and assiduously praying for large dividends. Now 1 happen to know that If dividends on stock are declared he "won't be in it," at all. He has never paid one cent on his Bhares uud his note is all the oollater.il for them whioli the officers hold. His note is possibly good but the stuff itself would be great dea more appreciated.

It is not generally known, but the bluffs around Pine Hills abound in large, juicy, wild turkeys. My friends Ike Elston and Frank Mahoruey succeeded in bagging three nice ones last Saturday evening. This feature will make this famous camping ground more attractive than ever.

The Shades of Death oame very near witnessing a speotaole the first of the week whioh would in all future time have lent a dread signiiloanoe to the place's name, it seems that during the latter part of the foregoing week a gay bevy of Waynetown beauties oame down for a few day's outing. One of them was the best girl of a Waynetown man of letters. She at onoe fell in with one of her old Crawfordsville flames and all went merry as the traditional marriage bell. So many matters went in fact that she failed to return home Sunday afternoou acoording to oontraot with tho man of letters. He waxed exoeed ing wroth and spat blue fire when informed of the why and whereforo by friends who had visited the Shades on Sunday. Monuay morning loaded for bear he arrived at the Dells only to find his intended victim had flown. He «as wild when he discovered this but his rage soon simmered down to sullenness and he took his lady love apart for consultation. When they returned tears were flowing profusely and the angry swaiu was telling her to get her things ready instanter and go home with him. This she did with a reluctant sigh and their buggy soon passed out of sight, as let us hope their diffioulties did likewise. "The oourse of true love never did run smooth."

A bright young man from Terre Haute has been peddling muBio in oar town for tlie past few days. He alwayB insists on going into the Louse, especially where there is a young lady at home, and then prooeeds to give his talk. After the victim has repeatedly deolared that she wants none of his wares, he makes one final effort, one tremendous effort and impressively declares that he has Little Annie Rooney in his collection, "whioh,"uhe adds, "is tho very latest song out you know." Not only this, but he has the sequel to this famous song, oalled Little Hattie Dooley. Does this young man fairly represent the intelligence of T-irre Haute or is he rying to work Hoosier Athens on lture ^ora sucker.

SENATOR JONES' GRUB STAKE.

A. Thousand Dollars Ho

LOUTKMI

a Miner

Brought 111m Million*.

Senator Jones, of Nevada, is ono of your self mode men. He commenced life poor. But a year old when his parents came from Herefordshire, England, he has made his way to tho top by dint of hard work and the exercise of considerable shrewdness. Like SeirfWw Sanders, of Montana, who made his first ten strike out of a claim he staked out in a graveyard, Senator Jones' first streak of luck was purely occident'd, as nearly all streaks of luck are.

Tho story goes thut when Jones was in California he stumbled across his pile in tho following remarkable manner: He lived in a certain county that Bret Harte made famous—Tuolumne, the veracious chroniclers assert—and during tho gold excitement kept a small grocery store. He did a thriving trade prices were high in thoso days in California, and after a few years Jones had amassed a few thousand dollars. Up the mountain a piece lived a solitary miner. He was poor, had the reputation of being shiftless, but de spito the report was always busy.

One day he called on Jones. "Say, Jones, I think Tve got a bonanza in that claim of mine," Baid the poor miner.

Jones smiled. He had heard these stories before. He knew how great expectations were frequently never realized. Time, labor aud money were usually wasted on what looked like something rich, but that developed into snares so Jones merely smiled. "It's a big thing," persisted his visitor, and he proceeded to explain what the claim wa& and his reasons for being so sanguine. After several hours' talk the miner asked for an advance of $1,000 with which to bay tools and food. Jones demurred. A thousand dollars was a big enough sum, saved, as it hud been, with much trouble and labor. But after all §1,000 cut no figure in comparison with the profits of a good mine. Jones finally told tho miner he would see what could l)e done.

After nightfall and tho Chinamen employed in the neighborhood bad taken their departure Mr. Jones allowed the embers of his fire to die out. When satisfied no one was about he scraped away tho ashfs, raised tho stone on wiiic'i tho fire w:'„s built and weighed out the necessary ijold dnst to muke the §1,00U. Th.fS" 11 ttlo precautions were always taken in that region, where even robbers were more plentiful than fortunes.

The tooLs wore bought. Jones lending the money aud tho miner promising him one-third of the profits

.p

tho mine. For

months tho solitary minor labored, but ho did not atriko the lead. He grow wan and hollow eyed, and occjisioaally dropped in to see Jones. Tho latter had by this time abandoned all hope of over seeing his monoy agiim. "There's no gold up there," ho would inform tho exliausted miner. "Yes, there is," insisted tho latter, "if I could only strike it."

Affairs were now becoming desperato with the hopeful but penniless man. Ono day he called on Jones and, after coughing apologetically, asked for soma meal and bacon. Ho knew he would bo successful eventually with his search, but provisions wcro out. Jones smiled again. "It's like throwing it iu a rat hole," ho cheerfully observed as ho dug ont a sido of bacon and gathered up a sack of corn ineal for liis luckless partner. For four inontlis nothing wiis heard of the old fellow, and Jones presumed ho had either gone away or had died at liis post up tho gulch. Both suppositions were erroneous. The miner dashed into the store one day irradiated with joy. Ha had really struck his Ixmimza. Tho mine was sold for $3,1)00,000, and, faithful to his promise, the honest miner gave Jones one-third of it. Senator Jones' prosperity dated from that time. —Cor. Pittsburg Post.

Children Cry for,,Pitcher's Castorla.'

MAPS FOR THE BLIND.

Interesting Fact* About Their Construction and Tholr I'ISC.

A map for the blind is curiosity, riind Jt,-«oplo are fond of history, and as history cannot bo properly learned, or indeed learned at all without some kr.o'vledge of geography, and to learn the 1 '.ttor without a map is impossible, Bomc. hing of tho kind was necessary, and so special maps were invented and manufactured for tho use of the eyeless. They are all of the kind known as tho "dissected maps," and are of wood—are really curved blocks. All land stands in relief, the mountains aro in ridges, tho rivers are long depressions, tho state lines ore elevated. Each stato is separate block, aud the pupil is taught, to fit tho blocks together and thus prepare for himself a map of the whole country.

Tho name of eacli stato is marked, sometimes on the bac'^ sometimes on the front, of the block, and the observer will notice all over the surface of the blocks smail aggregations of what to liim are meaningless dots. These are tho names of rivers, towns and cities. Cities are designated by pin or ti'.e!' heads, and the size and shape of these sbuw vho approximate number of popidatii.il. In one map cities of less tiian 10,000 inhab itants were indicated by pin heads flat on top, and those of 10,000 to i-'O.OOO by hemispherical. Flat tack liejuls showed the localities of cities having 00,000 to W.OOO, rounded tack heads from 50,000 to 100,000. Tack heads flat and sqnaro indicated cities between 100,00(1 and 200.000. Tack heads round, but with a depression on the top, showed cities of greater size. "Bounding" tho states is an eiisy matter to tho pupil. Taking Missouri, for example, the cliild requested to do the work began by placing the hand flat 011 the block to get a general idea of its position then the forefinger of tho right hand found tho northwest corner, nil/ rapidly along Hie elevated Iowa lino, followed tho Mississippi down to Kansas., went too far and passed to Helena,where a pause was made, the name read and the mistake discovered returned, found the line, traced it to the west olofig the southerji limits of Pemiscot and Dunklin counties, missed it again at tho St. Francis river, recovered it,went north, found tho line at Butler county, ran it to tlie corner of McDonald county, thence along the western boundary to tho starting point and then gave the whole resuit orally without a moment's hesitar tion.

By means of these dissected maps a fair idea is also gained by tlie pupils of tho respective size of various countries and states. When asked to compare Ohio with Texas the boy laid tho Ohio block on the Texas map, measured it off, turned it this way, that way, carelully keeping the count with his fingers 011 tho space already covered, and finally announced that Texas, according to his idea, was about five times as largo as Ohio, a calculation close enough to tho truth to excit" wonder at the accuracy rather than criticism of its lack of exactness. Dissected maps of every continent aro provided, and a large globe, lnodo on the principles which underlie tho construction of the maps, enables tho pupils to gain a fair general idea of tho shape and geographical features of our planet. Geography, in most schools, is used as an aid to the study of history, and is studied not as a collection of meaningless names but as a 6ubject wliich throws indispensable light on tho deeds and words of mankind.—St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

ProftJilontlHl Profanity.

President Harrison, lxsing a deacon in INa Presbyterian church, is supposed to not bo in tho habit of swoaring. Nobody lias been known to hear him. Many of the presidents have, however, been ablo to swear, and did so. Jackson stands pre-eminent for his mouth filling oaths. His genius for inventing startling expletives was extraordiiuu-y. With age, however, his habit of enssing grew less pronounced, and I10 generally contented himself with saying, "By tho h-jemal!" unless the occasion required something stronger. Andy Johnson cussed frightfully. Grant, although a smoker and drinker, seldom uttered an oatli, though I10 was a military man. He was tho only soldier president who never swore. Tho best known sweurer of tlie present day is Gen. Sherman, idthough Sheridan when lie lived was a rival for the honor, but with little Phil dead he reigns the prince of oath inventors.— Pittsburg Press.

V. How to Bind Magii*h»»s.

One good way to bind a file of magazines cheaply is to punch three holesnear tho back of eacli magazine, and pass strong cord through the hoiets, tieing tightly with the regular binder's knot. The edges may be trimmed under a printer's paper cutter, or even with a sharp knife. Of course, a Iwiokbinder can do a better job. Some people, by the way. do not know that a bookbinder will bind a volume of magazines stro:igly aud neatly in "library sheep" for twenty-five cents. Tho owner can letter the volume with a pen, and it is quite aa serviceable as if it were xuoru exiiensivoly bound.—Writer.

Tholne I« Found In Ton../

Careful investigations show that thoine is a deadly poison when administered to animals. Seven and a half grains will kill a cat in a few moments. Twelve grains havo been known to produce serious results in human beings twenty grains would be almost or quite fatal. It is not so fatal in small ditics its arsenic or strychnine, aud most peoplo aro habituated to its use in much the same way that tlie opium eater takes his dea-d-!v "drug with safety.—J. II. Kellogg, M. D.

Atielent Dentistry.

llecont discoveries air-nig the ancient tombs in Etruria unmistakably show that dentistry was practiced as fur back as six centuries before tho Christian era. Several of the skulls examined had false teeth, carved from those of some large animals, while many of tho natural teeth had gold fillings.—Traveler and Hotel Record.
