THE ECATUR DEDIWOCRAT BY A. J. HILL. Friday, March, 9, 1883. The Forty-seventh Congress is a thing of the past. The River and Harbor bill failed to pass before Congress adjourned. David Eley, our member, returned home from Indianapolis, Tuesday. Massachusetts is complaining loudly of Butlerism. There is one thing worse than Butlerism—Repub licanism. New York and Philadelphia are inaugurating a movement which contemplates putting all telegraph wires under ground. ONE of the most prominent figures of ante bellum days in the south.passed away Monday morning, in the person of Alex. H Stephens, 3 ice-I resident of the Confederacy. The wheat crop is now passing through the most dangerous portion of the winter. The severe cold, without snow for protection, makes the outlook anything but promising at present. Lieut. Governor Hanna, as the presiding officer of the senate, must have taken lessons frem Keifer. At least he seems to be quite as unfair, onesided and strictly partisan in his rulings as Keifer. Billiard circles are considerable excited over the arrival of the great French player, Vignaux, in New York recently. Several brilliant exhibition games have been played, to be followed later by match games. Lieut. Gov. Hanna refused to certify the appropriations bill to the Governor for his signature, for the reason that the official term of the legislature would expire before three days, the time given the Governor to consider all measures passed by the Legislature for approval or rejection. Speaker Keifer during the last hours of his speakership developed another quality valuable to a Repub ican politician. He removed the stenographer of the House who had done the entire work of the session to give place to a worthless incompetent, his nephew, one Ben. Gaines. The salary is 13,500 per year with nothing to do until his official death takes place. The work of viewing the starry heavens and searching for strange celestial visitors, auch as comets, asteroids or phenomena of any kind, is now completely systematized by the differ ent observatories of the world. Kiel is the center of the European circuit. The heavens are parcelled out among the different observatories, so that verylittle is liable to escape. The Harvard observatory has been made the center for the reception and disemitation of astronomical news in this country. And the two centers of information are united by cable. It is now proposed to not let any comet stray into close proximity to to the sun unheralded as has been the case on several occcasions within the last few years. Indianapolis Letter. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 28, 'B3. Editor of The Democrat. —I send you to-day, a copy of the general appropriation bill for this session as it passed the House and Senate—the figures in pencil mark are the amendments made by the Senate and concurred in by the House.—The Senate Road bill introduced by Senator Bently of Crawford county, passed the House to-day, and will be a law as soon as the Governor signs the same. It is ft ya**** the supervisory system with some important amendments. The bill contains an emergency clause and requires township trustees to appoint road supervisors to serve as such until the election to be held April, 1884. The decedent’s estate bill will undoubtedly pass the House to-morrow and become a law. The bill is not as perfect and satisfactory as might be desired, but is much better than the present law. It abolishes the office of Master Commissioner so far as relates to decedents’ estates, and r educes the fee of the clerks in the settlement of decedents’ estates. The indications are that there will be no called Session. The republicans in the Senate are employing every means within their power to kill time and thus prevent the passage of any a ill of political importance to the Democracy, among which is the Metropolitian police bill which has nitjet passed the Senate, and if it should uow pass, it will not become a law as the Governor would not sign it until the expiration of the three days allowed him by law to sign and return bills. And before that time the House, where the bill originated, will have ceased to transact any business. Senator Spann, of Rash county, n as beeen speaking since three o clock this p. m., including an evening session of two hours. And it is understood he will occupy the floor of the Senate until noon to morrow, at which time he will yield to another member (republican) of his j arty.

A selfish world, or the vicious and false among men may say, "Try people but never trust them;’ but we accept the old proverb often proved, “They are rich who have friends.” There is no living without friends. When friendship is so generally and bountifully manifested as was done by the presence of the large company who visited our humble home last evening, all «e can say in return ’ is, that language is inadequate to express our appreciation of the occasion and the motives that prompted it. We i pray richest blessings of the giver ot all good upon all. M.'A. Teague, H. A. Teague. Decatur, March fl, ’B3. An Old Claim Settled. In August 1882, Attorney General Baldwin filed a claim against the county which has been gradually accruing from 1861 to 1877.f0r51,357.34. The Attorney General claimed that the claim grew out of failure of the proper officers to credit the penalty and interest assessed against delinquent taxes to the different funds, but which was credited in a sum total, from year to year to the County Revenue. The claim was subsequently modified by Attorney General Hord, the successor of Baldwin, by deducting.the expense of advertising the delinquent taxes and the erroneous taxes refunded during the period. The question was finally settled this term, by allowing on account of State and School Revenue the sum ot slßl.10. A Ceylon Sensation. Monday, Mrs. David Fallen, of Ceylon, was arrested,charged with keeping a house of ill fame. The case was brought before Esq. Drew, who after hearing the evidence decided to send the case to the Circuit Court for final aijudication. The defendant was placed in the custody of Daniel Chrisman. She was taken home to make preparations for her trip. Ou arriving at her domicile, she excused herself for a mo ment and went out the front door, managing unknown to the constable to turn the key and locked the door. He patiently waited her r< turn until a grave suspicion of something arose and gradually filled his mind. Andong'ing to the door and finding himself locked in, he found his worst suspicions confirmed. She succeeded so effectually in concealing her whereabouts that so far the constable has been unable to find her within his bailiwick. If she continues to remain "not found ’ the purpose for which the prosecution was brought has already been effectu ally accomplished. This, however, ! does not relieve Chrisman from the I gibes of the boys. County Teachers’ Association. Decatur, Ind., March 3,1883 — Pursuant to previous arrangement, teachers met at the office of the Count?upciiiueudent to organize a County Teachers' Association. The meeting was opened by E. D. Brothers, who stated its object, and made some suggestions. The County Superintendent then made some valuable remarks in regard to organization and future work, after which the following officers were elected: Pres., E. D. Brothers; Vice-Presidents: Union township, 0. T. May; Root, Elmore Number.-; Preble, Mr. Laukanaw; Kirkland, Miss Parrot; Washington, F. L. Harris; St. Mary's, Mr. Harker; Blue Creek, Lucy Young; Monroe, G. 11. Laughery; French, F. B. Hocker; Hartford, G. W. Musser; Wabash, J. F. Snow; Jefferson. P. E. Kenney: Allie \ . Bolin was chosen Sec., 51yrta Num bers. corresponding See., and Anna Fitz Gerald, Treas. A committe consisting of J W Teeple, W. A. Luckey, and H. L. Merryman was chosen to draft a Constitution and By-laws, and report the same to the President by the middle of June. It was moved and carried that the Vice Presidents call meetings of the teachers to make further arrangements for the promotion of the Association. Tne Vice-Presidents were instructed to send list of member s names to the Sec. The meeting adjourned to meet at the call of the Pres. E D. Brothers, Pres. Allie V. Bolin, Sec. A gentleman advises Rev. M. A. Teague to read the 150th Psalm before preaching another sermon on “Church Music.” We fail to see the connection between the sermon, adviee and that portion of scripture referred to. If the complainant wishes to be more specific he can have space in The Democrat.

PLEANAXT MILLS ITEMS. — BY A REPORTER The closing exercises of our schools on the 23rd of February, were interesting and well attended. The lower room, Prof. Kirby's, gave a splendid dinner for the pupils. The evening entertainment consisting of Orations, Essays, Dialogu s and Debates, was conducted by Pi if. Kirby, who presented the diplomas to the following pupils who completed the Common School Course : Jesse Steele, John Schenck, Ella Schenck, Levi W. Acker and Wm. H. Winans. The latter was from District No 7, under the instruction of H. A. Fristoe. The exercises were a grand success and proved that all we nerd is a competent and live teacher at the head of affairs. In the case of Wm. Mathewson vs. Wm. Johnston for stealing a horse blanket from the wagon of the plaintiff at church, on the night of the 14th brought before Justice Comer, on the 19th., S. B. Merris attorney for plaintiff, and H. W. Kirby for defendant. After spending most of the night in examining witnesses for the State and pleading, the Justice decided that ; the State failed to make their proof, j and acquitted the prisoner. THE WORLD’S CYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGKAI’H Y. Cyclopedias of Biography arc usually made up of au alphabetical list, with brief sketches, prineipal'v of the names of people of whom you have I never heard, and .o know whom would i add greatly neiih tto your pleasure, j nor your mental wealth. "The M• rids Cyclopedia of Bi > grapliy,’ now publishing, is upon a different plan. It con- i tains only the s nries of the lives of . the famous men iud women who have ' male the world's history: who are re ally worth knowing, and who are writ- I ten about by authorsoften epi ally emi I nent. in the field of literature, w th the subjects whom they describe. Each volume is complete in itself, so that if you do not want, or cannot afford, all, you can take what best pleases, or is of most worth to you. The i gve volumes thus far issued narrate : the achievements of nearly two hun dred of the most famous and worthy of the world s heroes. Volume 1\ , recently published a very handsome large 12m0., of about 75U pages, for the price of 70cts contains a new and excellent "Life of Washington; a reprint of the standard and thrilling Weems' Life of General Marion, and a new "Life of (Biver Cromwell" by the Brilliant wri. r. E. I’ax.u Hood. I To illustrate the remarkable economy in cost, compared with previous pub lications: the present importing price ■ of the Life of Cromwell is $3 —here in equally good type, handsomely printed, with two o her important works thrown in, it costs only «0 cents: even beyond his, as a means of most widely and effectually advertising the biogiaphical series, the publisher will send, postpaid, a paper bound edition I of the Hood s Life of Cromwell,” to | any address, on receipt of 15 cents, and then, if the purchaser desires to secure the bound volume, will credit 15 cents toward the price of the same. It will be strange if -uch book, at such prices, do not find their way into al most every home. "Biograj tiy is the most universally pleasant, universally profitable of all reading, well said Thomas Carlyle. How, indeed, can the heroes of -fiction" be compared in interest with the.e heroes of all time. Washington and Cromwell? John B. Alden, Publisher, 18 Vesey Street, New York.

ACTIVE AND STKONG." i [MABKET Br-POBT IX CITY daily ] The mini that made this brief report, Nomenclature well understood — This language, ot two fold import, If not the Lest, is surely good. What agent is mote ‘ active in The work of tarnishing men s breath Or leading men in wavs of sin, Which culminate in endless death .' Where can we fiud a factor with A more pu ssatn, powerful gript If you should deem it but a myth, Acco.d it freedom to your lip. It seems, indeed, to be impre.s'd That it but on lip service thrives — And that it is by far the nest Or aplest tool to shorten lives. And it appears, somehow, to feel That all its power to rule and reign, Is furtively men's wits to steal By taking lodgment ia the brain. Let young men and matdeus fear it With activity and strength combin'd, And remember its vile spirit A foeman is all mankind Then let none trust, in his own strength, Wiih this dire foe to gtapple long— For, if be does, be il find, at length, The enemy, lor him, too strung.

W ROUT. j ' HOW WATCHES ARE MADE. In a Solid Gold Watch, aside from the necessary thickness for engraving and polishing, a large proportion of metal is ■ needed only to stiffen and hold the engrav- ■ ed portions in place, and supply strength. The surplus gold is actually needless. In | James Boss’ Patent GM Watch Gises this I waste is saved, and solidity and i strength increased by a simple process, at one-half the cost. A plate of solid I gold is soldered on each side of a plate of hard nickel composition metal, and the three are then passed between polished steel rollers. From this the cases, backs, centers, bezels, etc., are cut and shaped by dies and formers. The gold is thick enough to admit of all kinds ot" chasing, engraving and engine turning.
