The Commissioners have made changes in carpenter work, calling for an additional outlay of $37,212.20, and in the plastering, stucco and pugging work, by which $4,226.55 is added to the original contract price. These changes have been accepted by the present contractors, who as yet have signified no intention of abandoning the construction of the buildimr. A colored camp-meeting, attended with great excitement, was held at Shelbyville last week. A correspondent of the Indianapolis JbumaZ thus writes of some of the scenes: “Last night the excitement reached a white heat. Colored women touched with the gospel power would jump up in the audience, shout for glory, gesticulate wildly with their hands, and rush about the ground in an appearantly wild condition. In order to control them, as many as five women would have to sit down upon them, and even then sometimes they would get away. Such a display of religious excitement was never befor witnessed here. Last Sunday night Col. John W. Ray, of i Indianapolis, delivered a lecture in the M. I E. church at Fairland, on the temperance I question, and his denunciation of the whisky traffic was so severe as to cause a number of hoodlums to disturb the meeting and I threaten to pound to pieces Rev. B. F. Mor- ! gan and 'Squire Culbertson, who attempted ' to quiet the mob. While the Rev. Mr. Mor- : gan was on his way home from the meeting 1 he was unmercifully egged by the hoodlums who not only spattered the minister, but treated the front of his hou?e likewise. Colonel Ray, luckily, was not egged. The attention of the officials here was called to I the matter to day tor the first time.—Cbr. Ind. JoumaL 13th.

Yesterday afternoon Judge Taylor made a very powerful argument in the United States Express Company case with the j Bluffton bank for the loss of a $5,000 pack- [ age of money. The Judge's theory was that one of the express company’s employes re- j moved the money and substituted the slips I of paper cut the size of bank notes. To show how easy this could be done, he came before the jury with a sealed sac simile of the original package, a paper of plaster of ■ paris, a bottle of oil, a copy of the Cincin- I nati Enquirer and a cup and spoon, and ! went through the whole process, first taking . a plaster paris cast of the seals on the original money package, then opened it and took out the money, put in slips of paper . which he cut, sealed it up and made the . same impression on it with his newly-made seals as it bore originally, and of course I bearing the same directions. The whole ; operation took about an hour, and was a most graphic argument in support of the j ease with which dishonest employes might rob money packages in transit. Judge Tay- i lor was highly complimented on his success. ; —Jbrf Wayne Gazette. 14ZA. THE_MARKET.

We were not many passengers that day, and without any disrespect to the I few, they were not interesting from the point of view of the seeker after types of <■ 'tome or character. The partial exception was an old lady with the close-fitting gold helmet of Friesland —the only remnant of the national dress to which she had clung. The rest of the dress was strictly non-com-mittal, so'far as period, country and fashion were concerned, except the bonnet. That was a thing to make angels weep. At the risk of being thought rude, it was important to find out all j about that bonnet—and unless one did stare that was impossible. It had a singular fascination about it, not because of its own merits, but simply on account of its comical anachronism. It was a weird combination, that solid golden helmet with rosettes of gold filigree at each temple, and over this a cap of Brussels lace with flowing lappets, and, perched high on this arrangement, was this Faria bonnet of the fashion a few years ago, brave with mauve ribbon and artificial flowers. She was a dear, motherly old lady, with a sad, benevolent face, but, for all that, as she leaned over the vessel’s side, contemplating the distant shore and coming mal de mer, every ribbon of that wondrous bonnet streaming in the breeze, she was -a picture.—George H.

THE ODIUM OF FRIDAY. A Day Believed by Many to Be Fated with 111-Luck. A newspaper reporter who has attended thirteen executions declares that he will never attend another. It is suggested that he is now eligibleas-a member of the Thirteen Club, and. if he joins that organization, he may be expected to give most Zealous support to i the efforts of the club to remove “the odium attaching to Friday.” Having been greatly shocked and depressed by the spectacle he witnessed at the gallows in the Tombs prison-yard last Friday, he may be supposed to be keenly sensitive to the custom which chooses Friday as the one day on which murderers must expiate their crimes. In the peramble to their resolutions calling upon the President, the Governors and Judges of courts having power to sentence to death to consider the propriety of selecting other days as well as Friday for the hanging of murderers, the members of the Thirteen Club express the opinion that “the superstition connected with the day of the week called. Friday has been materially aided and abetted by its selection as hanging day.” In this they are undoubtedly right, and there are serious reasons why the change they advocate is to be desired. It is a fact not to be disputed that a vast multitude of people, even in this land of boaste 1 intelligence, are under the influence of the Friday superstition. The statistics of railway travel infallibly indicate the dread which the day inspires. It is well known to all railway men that the amount of travel on Friday is less than on any other day of the week. Many travelers carefully calculate so as to reach their destinations before Friday, and still more refuse to begin a journey on that day. It is useless to attempt to convince the victims of the Friday superstition that no day of the week differs from another in the amount of misfortune it brings; they are seemingly deaf and blind to all that happens on Friday which is not melancholy, or at least they have no memory for other events of that day. If told that George Washington, Daniel Webster, President Van Buren, President Taylor, President Pierce, President Hayes, Edward Everett, George Bancroft, Longfellow, Charles Dickens, Thomas Carlyle and other notable men were born on Friday, they are likely to reply that Jefferson Davis was also born on Friday, that the Southern Confederacy was formed on that day, that Col. Ellsworth was shot, and that President Folk, President Lincoln, President Pierce and Horace Greeley all died on Friday. There is no reason to believe that Friday superstitions are declining; on the contrary, it is by many thought to be increasing. If the unanimous expression of the Thirteen Club that other days of the week should bear at least their share of the odium attaching to Friday effects the desired change in the “reprehensible custom” which makes Friday hanging day, it is possible that it will mark the beginning of the decline in this country of the superstition which for centuries has regarded the day as unlucky. It is true that Friday was chosen for hanging because it was regarded as unlucky, rather than regarded as unlucky because it is chosen for hanging; but to change the custom as to executions would lift from it a great weight of gloom. Certainly it is a public misfortune to have one day in every seven associated with misfortune and filled with dark foerbodings, and Governors and Judges may wisely heed the suggestion of the thirteen times thirteen members of the Thirteen Club as to making all other days but Sunday bear their share of the odium now attaching to Friday as hanging day.— Xew York Mail and Express. The Self-made Man as a Political Leader. Once in a while the instincts of the j self-made man (as distinguished from the college-made man) are tine enough I to lead to broad views, but in general j his horizon is narrow and bordered by prejudices: he speaks well of the bridge | that carried him over, but of no other.
Such a man is apt to regard legislation | as the science of applied selfishness, and to legislate for but one type (himself) or for his other self—the party. But, even if we consider legislation on a merely selfish plane, the fact remains that laws must be made for a wide diversity of selfishnesses, and this requires not so much ideas as the capacity for deali> g with ideas. The more successful the self-educated man has been —whether in railroads, or silver mining, or sheep-raising—the more likely he is to be incapacitated for the broad work of the legislator. Indeed, to do his constituents justice, he is usually chosen, not for his knowledge of tariff principles or of constitutional distino- | lions, but in outright advocacy of some . interest for which he is certain to stand | up and be counted, on every occasion. This was very well in war times, when there was one overmastering interest. But with the inauguration of President Garfield the war spirit expended the last of its momentum, and the country onee more recovered the civic temper and turned to economic questions pure and simple. The result is inevitable that the current of progress will sweep I past this type of public man and leave him in a shallow bayou of his own. He will have his uses, but his days of lead- ! ership are numbered. — The Centuru. I New Cure for Balking Horses. It is thought that a new cure has been discovered for balking and cribbing horses by the application of electricity. A gentleman of Baltimore, who has a horse subject io balking, placed an electric battery, with an induction coil, in his buggy, and ran the wires to the horse’s bit and crupper, and as soon as the horse came to a standstill the current was turned on, and, after the horse was relieved of his shock, it is said, he proceeded without showing any disposition to balk. The same application was successfully made to a horse who indulged in crib- ' bing, whereof he was soon cured through the unpleasantness of the electric.shock. Those who have balking or cribbing horses may give the foregoing a trial. Tinthf >1 Tom Ochiltree. Tom Ochiltree, Congressman from Texas, was 1 a iquoted in St. Louis.

Ths name of Mr. W. W. Corcoran is so widely known by his deeds of philanthropy, and is intimately identified with every movement that is calculated to alleviate suffering and improve tlm condition of the unfortunate, that the appeals which come to him for all sorts of charitable purposes are almost overwhelming. For instance, a lady, entirely unknown to Mr. Corcoran writes a long letter, in Which she states that her husband is worth $50,000, and is doing a large and prosperous business. The Writer, however, desires to be independent of her husband, and asks Mr. Corcoran to send her enough money so that she may live on the interest. The letter is well-written, and closes with an urgent invitation to Mr. Corcoran to come and make her visit at her home in New England, to see her garden and enjoy the fruits and flowers. The writer was evidently well-to-do in tliis world and refined and educated, yet, amid her prosperity, she had one ambition which was not satisfied, and that was to have a bank account of her own. In this particular she is not, perhaps, an isolated example, but the course of reasoning which led her to think that an entire stranger would help her is entirely uniqne. “I want a barrel of mess pork, and I want you to send it to me,” was the laconic" but peremptory letter received from a man in one of the Southern States. Mr. Corcoran, amused by this Strange demand,sent the pork as requested. What was the result? He was rewarded by receiving a request for “another barrel.” A young lady asked Mr. Corcoran to send’ her a pink-silk dress, trimmed to order, to enable her to attend a ball in Virginia. This letter is much in th« style of an order to a dressmaker, and there is nothing to indicate that the writer had any doubt but that the request would be granted. Another lady correspondent, living in Europe, sends sixteen pages of commercial post, closely written, giving a history of her family, which seems to have had a very ancient origin, and requesting that $6,000 be sent to her address, to enable her to take a trip to the southern part of France for the benefit of her health. It is said that Jay Gould receives scores of begging letters every day. Mr. C. P. Huntington, President of the Central Pacific road, is probably worth $15,000,000. He is also in receipt of very many begging letters. His letters are from all portions of Europe and the United States, and contain requests based on every imaginable scheme. Henry Clews, whose wealth is estimated lit $lO 000,000, receives a large number of letters asking for help. Many of the applicants are unfortunate operators in Wall street, and they often fiud in Mr. Clews a sympathetic friend. Russell Sage is not credited with “throwing money away,” as he terms it, and brokers generally observe: “A man with $10,000,000, who will wait in ; his office over half an hour to catch the I 5-eent trains on the Elevated road, must be too poor to give money away for sweet charity.” James R. Keene, his friends say, receives scores of begging letters every day, and Cyrus W. Field is the recipient of more than any other man in Wall I street circles. He gives away SSO per day for charitable purposes, his intimates assert, and generally answers , ■ correspondents who solicit alms if he thinks it is charity worthily bestowed. —

If yon are finding out by his poor words and halting manner hnw little and unimportant the mysterious “we” of a big newspaper may be, what do you think of your Own exhibition? There are, here present, at least a dozen of yon from whom I myself have heard the most solemn and magisterial instructions as to how one should live. Avoid late dinners; avoid crowded rooms; eat simply; drink sparingly; don’t smoke —three courses for your dinner and a single glass of wine; keep your dining room cool,avoid draughts,be sure to have the air pure and fresh, never sit over an hour at table! Ab, yes: those are familiar formulas. Every j one of you remembers them; every one of you has given them a thousand I times, and taken a good fee for it every j time. Now we’ve got you out from behind the screen. This must lie what ' you meant by it. This is where the fe s go. The united skill of 200 doctors concentrated upon the sipgjc problem of hygiene, how to produce for themselves the best and most wdioleI some way of dining, has resulted in this.

Ignorance of Mexicans as to Conunon Matters. There are some peculiar qu duties of the Mexican mind which will, for a while, stand in the way of quick progress. Thus, very few of them will buy th ir railroad tickets until the train is in fall view of the station; and. until a short time ago. preferred paring their cash to the conductor. They have an incomprehensible itching to defer any enterprise, or even trivial Work, until the morrow. When these defeats of their disposition and training are un- ( derstood, and patience and management are exercised, a fair service can ( be got out of them. As exemplifying how little Mexicans know of the rights of common carriers, the other day, when Gen. Diaz stopped here, the j company, as a eoartvsy, tendered the municipality the use of their cars for the General’s party. Thereupon tlw city ' authorities undertook to let everybody | have a free ride, and, until the matter was legally explained to them, Xiire.itened trouble to the railway pe >ple. These mistakes of (he Mexicans.* in their dealing with our people, spring i not so much from a desire to aunov as from ignorance.— Monterey Co?. Neto York Sun.
