MONDAY, FEB. 27,1893.
IT is now rumored that ft chair of constitutional law will be endowed in connection with the Chicago University, the salary to be $25,000, and that President Harrison will be inyited to Aooept this position.
IN 1890 there was a deficiency in th? postal revenue of $6,200,323. Under Postmaster General Wannamaker's administration this has been reduced to an estimated deficiency of $278,491, for the fiscal year 1894. This has been done notwithstanding the extensive improvements made in all branches of the postal service.
JUDGE BAKES, of the United States Circuit Conrt for this State, has struck a lick at the pauper vote, which will meet with the approval of all honest men. One Charles Royster was before him, charged with false swearing upon an affidavit challenging the votes of certain paupers from the county poor farm of Marion county. Judge Baker dismissed Boyster with the declaration from the bench that the jjrand jury had indicted the wrong man, RS the paupers had no domicile and no right to vote it. the poor farm precinct and the persons to be indicted were the men who brought them to the polls and induced them to vote.
THB movement for a fund to relieve Governor McKinley in his financial •imbarrassments should be general throughout the country. The services of such men can illy be spared to the publi*. However much men may differ from him in their political views all will agree that he is a thoroughly honest man. And wht-t the country needs in its sr.'icc are men of unquestioned integrity. Henry Cluy once became involved in the same wny by indorsing for a friend. Twenty thousand dollars was placed to his credit in bank. Mr. Clay interrogated the cashier as to where it came from. The cashier replied "Mr. Clay, vou mav be sure it was not done yonr enemies," Mr. Clay was thereby enabled to remain in the publio service. The example of the friends of Mr. Cla} should be imitated by the admirers of Major McKinley.
A WASHINGTON special to the Indianapolis Journal has this to say concerning the Coliectorship of this district
There is going to be a merry row over the appointment of a collector o! internal revenue for the western dis trict of Indiana. A9 already announced in a Journal special, Joshua Jump, ol Terre Haute, who is John E. Lamb's law partner, is to have the piace, ii SenBtor Voorhees, Jason Brown and Judge Holmnn can deliver it to him There are other applicants for the place who are at this moment engaged in making trouble over Mr. Jump'B selec tion. They are alleging that Jump ie the creature of Crawford Fairbanks, large diBtiller of Terre Haute, and that if he should be appointed it would give Fairbanks undue advantages. Kepre eentative Brookshire has a candidate for the collectorship, and he is not discour aging the rumpna which is brewing.
It iB understood that Mr. Brookshire'p candidate is Walter F. Hulett, Of this city. At any rate Republicans ^fill en joy the row.
"THE appointment of Judge Greshan as Secretary of State is, I think, an ai nouncement that the tariff policy will not be changed," oaid General Lew Wal lace to the New York Press. "Yet thfDemocratic party is pledged in various ways to repeal the 'robber tariff' and to reform a good many things. The division of sentiment among the Democratic leaders will, I think, result in a smash up. The Republican party has not been hurt. It will be stronger in '96 than it is to day, while I think the Democratic party will make so many mistakes and be so split up that the Populists will be the chief opponents of the Republicans four years hence. The Republicans will want a general in '96, and I think the hero of t~he present Administration, Pres ident Harrison, will be the man who wi! be selected and will lead the party to victory. He has made an admirable
President, and his Administration has been a clean one."
HON. ROHWEIIL G. Honn, at the Michigan Republican club banquet in Detroit the other night, ga'e vent to his sorrows over the party's defeat in the following humorous and characteristic Btrain: How to act in time of defeat we may well learn from the history of onr enemies," said Mr. Horr. "They have had long and oft-repeated experience. How many times in the last 32 years it has been my pleasure to attend the funeral of the Democratic party
After the dirge bad been sung and the burial seemed deep and permanent, how many
timeB,
the very next morning, I
have met the corpse dressed as usual with a smile on its face, swearing that there hud been no funeral at all and asking if it was not a good while between drinks. I surely thought that the conduot of that party during the war would kill and bury it forever. So it ehould have done. S.nch conduct, according to all the known rules of mortality, should have been followed by death—decomposition—and damnation.'

A Gift Dlviuo.
This gift is given. This gift from heaven. Unto a few—
Through veins with human frailty filled A glow divine is found distilled.
There's music rare Played in the air To such a one.
And measured by its mystic flow His breathing and his movements go. As through the sky
The meteors fly, So darts his glance.
Or it would seem as though soft lianda Had waved before his face like fans.
By man and beast. Front great to h'.ist He will be loved.
A child will sit upon his knee And seek his face confidingly. IIo cannot rest
Without the best The world can give.
Our truest thought to him we bring Our sweetest song to him wo sing.
And if we find. Like all mankind. He, too, can sin.
We feci, although we sigh or weep. His part divine Is but asleep. —Eleauor B. Caldwell.

A CU1CK EN SIATCHSAFE.
The latest oddity in the way of parlor mantel ornaments is a match holder made of an eggshell and chicken leg. The tendons are drawn up till the claws stand straight out the tendons are then fastened at the top with a line wire of silver, if one is extravagantly inclined, and the wire is then twisted so as to form a sort of cup shape. Take, then, an egg, cut off a small section at one end, pour out the contents and cleanse the shell thoroughly. This is fastened in the cup shaped holder made by the wire. Then cover the chicken leg and claw with bronze paint, gild the eggshell at will, and the thing is done.
It may happen that the claws are not stiff enough to hold the thing straight up, in which case they may be stiffened by twisting fine wire in and out among the toes till the desired firmness is se cure"1
FASHION'S MIRROR.
One of the very fashionable princess dresses has its many goreil breadths piped or overlaid with jetted gimp.
Tho hoopskirt craze may suddenly spring up in a night, but at present the clamor foi "crinoline" in the arena of fashion is not at all deafening.
Among the recent importations are lines of pretty French flannels designed for morn ing dresses, wrappers and breakfast jacket* for next season.
All the stylish capes of the season have high collars in Elizabethan or Medici fash ion, with fur on both sides, so that they can be turned up or down.
To accompany the very popular round waisted dresses to be worn next season are manufa?lured some attractive and dainty belts, girdles and linked bands, both wide and narrow.
For the best dresses that women of mod erate means keep for special occasions there are various Inexpensive satin fabrics that wear and look much better than silks of similar low price.
For reception wear are many charming gowns made of transparent or openwork fabric over silk or satin of a contrasting material, producing a very harmonious changeable effect.
Among tho neat and stylish models for house dresses for the early spring are those of French camel's hair in lime leaf greet., sumac red, auburn brown and other fashionable shades, with round waists of shepherd's check in green and cream, brown and ecru, red and apricot, black and white, etc.—New York Post.

JUPITER'S RED SPOT/
It Can Be Kaally Sean Through a Small Telesoopo by Amateur Astronomer*.
AU owners of telescopes, and theirnumber lias become very lurg-e within the past few years, will be glad to hear that the strange red spot on Jupiter, which was so much obscured last summar as, at times, to be invisible even with the hugo Lick telescope. Is slowly brightening again. Tho appearance, says tho Youth's Companion, is as ii a veil of clouds which had been drawn over it was being gradually removed.
This is by no means the only time that this singular spot on the giant planet has behaved in a similar way since it first made its appearance in 1878. Just what the spot is, and what the changes in its aspect mean, astronomers do not yet know. But that it is a tremendous phenomenon upon the surface of the great world of Jupiter is evident when a few figures concerning its dimensions are recalled.
The spot is not less than thirty thousand miles long and at least seven thousand miles wide. In other words, it covers an area more than equal to the whole surface of the earth.
The fiery hue which it sometimes presents for months together seems very suggestive in viow of the probability that Jupiter is a planet yet in an Intensely heated condition, whose continents and oceans, 1i it is ever to possess any, have not yet been formed.
When at its brightest the red spot can be well seen with a telescope of only three or four inches' aperture, so that it then forms a suitable object for observation by amateurs.
This year Jupiter is particularly interesting on account of the distinctness of Its great system of belts, lying parallel with its equator. Small telescopes show the principal belts easily, and It Is very interesting to watch the changes that take place in them from time to time, particularly when it is remembered that what one is looking at is probably vast masses of swirling clouds in the heated atmosphere of a world that may be said to bo in the process of creation.
TO SECURE AMULETS.
Reason Why Primeval Men Cat Holes
The perforation of the tomb was almost certainly intended as a door of exit for spirits. Even in later times, when the dead were burned, holes were often bored or knocked in the urns that contained the ashes, for the same purpose. Some cinerary urns have been found with little windows, as it were, made in them, and a piece of pi ass placed over the hole. Macrobius, in his Saturnalia, quotes an Etruscan belief that a door should be opened for the spirits to pass and out.
The writer remembers a case of a dying woman some few years ago in Sussex. She was gaspinpf, and apparently was undergoing the last struggle in great distress. The nurse went to the window and opened it. At once the dying woman breathed deeply and expired. The writer said to the nurse: "Why did you open the window?" The answer given was: "Surely you wouldn't have her soul go up the chimney?"
One can understand how that, if a piece of skull had been regarded as in contact with a demon or spirit, it would be respected as an amulet, and that so the rondelles removed from the heads of men who had been subject to epileptic fits would acquire a virtue in the eyes of the ignorant and superstitious, and be employed as charms. And this seems to be both the simplest and most intelligible explanation of holepierced heads, and of tha wearing of the portions removed from those heads by mdta and women who had not themselves been trepanned.

A Salt rake.
The French government- has just sold to 31. Chefneux the right to refine and export salt from Lake Assal, one of the most remarkable sheets of water in the world. The lake is in the district of Obock, east Africa, only a few miles from the head of the Bay of Tadjourah. All along the edge of this little lake, which comprises only sixteen square miles, is abed of nearly pure salt about afoot thick. The lake bottom is apparently abed of solid salt. A long briny brook or creek drains water from the ocean into this body of water.
Ranted Plumes.
It is said that a largo proportion of the plumes worn by the ladies who attend Queen Victoria's drawing-room are hired from a shop which makes a business of renting out plumes. The feathers are worth one pound to two pounds and the rent of them is five or •eren shillings for each occasion.
In Paint
the best is the cheapest. Strictly Pure
White Lead is best properly applied it will not scale, chip, chalk, or rub off it firmly adheres to the wood and forms a permanent base for repainting. Paints which peel or scale have to be removed by scraping or burning before satisfactory repainting can be done. When buying it is important to obtain
Strictly Pure White Lead
properly made. Time has proven that white lead made by the Old Dutch process of slow corrosion possesses qualities that cannot be obtained by any other method of manufacture. This process consumes four to six months time, and produces the brands that have given White Lead its character as the standard paint. "Armstrong & McKelvy" "Beymer-Bauman" "Eckstein" "Fahnestock" "Anchor" "Kentucky" "Morley" "Southern" "Shipman" "Red Seal" "Collier" "Davis-Chantbers" are standard brands of strictly pure Lead made by the "Old Dutch" process. You get the best in buying them. You can produce any desired color by tinting these brands of white lead with National Lead Co.'s Pure White Lead Tinting Colors.
