Mr, Hulet Not-ln It.

The IndianapoliB Sentinel this morning announces that the selection of Judge Jump, of Terre Hante, as internal revenue collector of this district is assured. This bars W. F. Hulet, of this city, who was Mr. Brookshire's man. Mr. Hulot's friends will be sorry to learn of his defeat as he was a good man and would have filled tho place with all credit. He should have had it too but will have to be content with the Crawfordsville postoflice which will go to him now without demur. Judge Jump was John Lamb's candidate and his selection shows the etrength of that wing of the Democracy which will fight

Mr. Brookshire for his renomination in •94.

THE STATE 0BAT0BI0AL CONTEST.

The Wabash Representative 1'ails *o Hold Up His End of the String. H. H. Hadlev, of DePauw, won the State oratorical contest last uight, and Walter Wood, of Bloomington, second. The contest' occurred in Plymouth church, which was crowded to its utmost capacity. The contest was up to its usual standard but Wabaeh wasn't. A trick had been played on the college, which received no notification of the time of the contest until a few weeks before it occurred. Her representatives were forced to prepare in a few dayB what others had weeks to work on, accordingly she fell down on the State contest and according to the Indianapolis Journal received the last place. The grades of the judges are however show that was fifth:....

The Indianapolis Sentinel speaks thus of the Wabash representative: "The Conflict of the Closing Century'" was the subject choBen by E. G. Davis, the representative of Wabash. It was the labor (question of which he spoke, and the latest phases of the problem which is agitating all the great minds of the times were discussed. The description of the Homestead riots was very dramatic.

Row Between Sheriff and Deputy. Colonel Tribby is no longer high deputy sheriff of Montgomery county, and by the same token sheriff Bible is defendant in a suit for wages for $105 in which the Colonel's wife is plaintiff, Both Colonel and Mrs. Tribby have been employed by the Sheriff for a long lime and everything was as lovely as could be until something happened the other night. The affable Colonel was down cellar and heard the agreeable Sheriff talking to his wife upstairs. He heard the Sheriff say that he intended to dismiss the Colonel on April 1 (as a sort of

April fool joke, perhaps) and serve Grant Agnew with the same dose on •June 1. This pleasing information fairly took the Colonel's breath and he had scarcely enough left to tell _iraut Agnew what he had heard. Grant inquired of the Sheriff as to the authority of the statement and the result was thiit the Colonel was at one*! informed that he need not wait until April 1 but OMild take his departure forthwith. Then indeed the Colonel lifted up hie voice and swore. Ho called the Sheriff all the blanks and dashes and unmentionables known to civilized man. He brandished his fists and dared Mr. Bible out on the green and then with his wife left the juil for good. Mrs. Tribby has already sued for the wages due her. ,:

Miss Thomson at the Auditorium.' Miss Mary P. Thomson took the leading vocal part in a grand organ concert given at the Auditorium in Chicago Thursday night. She received very flattering notices from all the papers. The Herald says:

The vocal selections were contributed tiy MisB Mary P. Thomson, a pupil of Vittori Carpi, of the Chicago conservatory, who in her singing of the rondo from Rossini's "Cenerentola" showed o£ a very

herself to be the possessor pleasing voice that has been exceptionally well trained. In reply to the demands for an encore she sang a ballad

The following is from the News Record: Miss Mary P. Thomson received »n encore for her singing of the rondo from •Saint-Saen's "Cenerentola."

The Tribune says: ." Miss Mary P. Thomson, young con tralto of promise, sang tho rondo from Rossini's "Cenerentola" aud as encore a ballad ia English.

The Inter-Ocean, whose critic is always severe, gives Miss Thomson the following splendid notico:

Miss Mary P. Thomson sung thti rondo from "Cenerentola" commendably. Her voioe is well cultivated and she Bings with much expreasion.

Sly Kalph,

Ralph Watkins' friends have all been shaking their heads for several months. Almost any night you might see Ralph slipping along south Water street with his coat collar turned up and a girl with a red shawl on her head hanging on his arm with a more than sisterly devotion. The sequid of the matter is that Ralph is indefinitely out of town while a suit for misplaced confidence yearns and sighs for his return in the circuit court. The girl who brought it is Maggie Cox, a stub of a girl not bigger than a pint of cider. ilph is said to be in Chicago looking at the

World's Fair buildings with a view to purchase.

Burglars at Sew Market.

The thieves muBt have bronght wagon along or else had all their relations waiting on the outside to help carry the good off. No arrests have been made.

ABOUT THE AMETHYST. with

A tSem of Meny Varieties and

CIQSBIC

History.

The word amethyst means not intoxicated or drunken, because tho stone was supposed to possess the virtue of preventing drunkenness, leaving the wearer or drinker not intoxicated.

For this reason, according tto Minerals, it was made into drinking cups by the ancient Persians, but, unfortunately. tradition leaves us in doubt as to whether it was this misplaced confidence or not that led to the discontinuance of the amethystine cup.

The occidental amethyst is a species of quartz, bluish purple in color, generally occurring crystallized in hexaliedral prisms terminated by corresponding pyramids. Its fracture is conchoidal splintery. Its color is due to the oxide of manganese or to iron and soda.

Although esteemed as a gem, it is— unlike most gems—more brilliant by sunlight than by gaslight. The most beautiful specimens are brought from Brazil. Ceylon, India. Siberia, and various parts of Europe. It is found also in North Carolina, Mount llolyolce and Nova Scotia.

The shores of the picturesque basin of Minas, made famous by Longfellow's p*iem "Evangeline,"' furnish many tine specimens of this beautiful stone. After the frosts of winter have broken and scaled the face of the bluffs then is the most favorable time to hunt not only for the amethyst, but for other minerrals, such as chalcedony, agate, malachite, calcite, anocline, apatite, natrolite, etc., found therein the debris at the foot of the cliffs.

It is said that a Cape Blomidon amethyst is in the crown of France and that two hundred and seventy-five years ago Sieur de Montscarried several large amethysts from one of the islands in the basin to Henry IV. of France. These gems are generally found in geode ox after afresh fall of traprocl

The oriental amethyst is really a vio-let-colored sapphire, which is an exceedingly rare gem and of brilliant luster. It is regarded as a Sacred stone, and is used to ornament the cross and the pastoral ring of Catholic bishops. The ancients often used the ameth3'st for cutting figures both in relief and in intaglio, and there is in the national library of France a delicately-wrought profile of Majcenas, a Roman statesman of Octavius' time, engraved on amethyst by Dioscorides, one of the four celebrated engravers mentioned by Pliny.

One of Nature's Wonders.

In the extreme eastern edge of Arizona, some forty miles west by south of that remote pueblo, Juni, N. M., there is a most remarkable natural phenomenon—a great, shallow, salt lake in bowl-like depression, the sink itself being some hundreds of feet deep and three miles across. The basin, all that portion of it not taken up by the lake is dazzling wliito with millions upon millions of salt crystals. In the center of the lake rises what appears to be cone-shaped volcanic peak. Should you take the trouble to ford the lake and explore this peak—a task neither disagreeable nor dangerous—you will find instead of a crater of smoking, seething mud a miniature lake in the middle of the peak, clear as crystal and as pure as any spring water.

I was so bad with falling' of the womb and Leucorrhcea that I could not stand.

I had doctored so much without benefit I was entirely discouraged. I expected to die. "•One evening I read in the 'Herald' about your medicine. I got some, and took 2 bottles of the Compound, and used one of the Sanative Wash.

What shalcespeare Might Have Said To take or not to take: that is the ques lion.

Whether 'tis better for a mun to Buffer The pangs and torments of indigestion, Or something take, and, in its taking,end them. Shakespeare didn't say that, but very likelv he would have said something similar,'if he were living in the 19th ceutury when so many suffer untold agonies from indiirestion. Of course ho would have gone on to say that a man must be a fool net to take the "something" which would put an end to the "pangs and torments" spoken or, if he could get it. Now it is a fact that weakened, impoverished blood brings on indigestion, which is the cause of dyspep sia, conslipfttion- a poisoned condition of the whole system—and it is a fact, alvo, that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov cry will so purify the blood and enrich it that all the weakened organs are revitaliz ed and strengthere.l.
