Boys look out, the Grand juiy has setand they never go around Monroe, tliey generally come here first. Perhaps you had better go south for a week or two. G. W. Martz has received a largflfcSfock of Hardware. r Cost of Discovering America. The Chicago Herald says Prof. Ruge, one of those Germans who are all the while finding something out, has learned from the archives of Palos that the actual expenses of the first Columbus voyage of discovery amounted to 1,140,000 maravedis. Prof. Ruge has found no record of the cost of the caravels, and he therefore offers no estimate of interest on the capital invested in those vessels or the expense due to natural deterioration, repairs, etc. It is only very moderately interesting, to know that the expenses amounted to a certain number of maravedis, because the average reader may not know the present value of a maravedi, much less the value of that coin 400 years ago. Many people do not even know that a coin of a given denomination changes in value—in purchasing power—with the lapse of time, and many’ more have only a vague notion of the extent of the change. It is, in fact, a matter of great difficulty to translate the money of past times into money of the present time, so as to get a clear idea of the relative cost of commodities and services. In the present instance Prof. Ruge attempts to translate maravedis of the time of Columbus into German marks, and we have to translate marks intodollars with much liability to error because a given quantity of gold and silver will to-day buy more of most things in Germany than in the United State. As the result of the double translation we have the estimate that the cost of the first voyage of Columbus was about $7,500, That looks like a very small sum, but we get a modified idea of it when we are told that the yearly pay of Columbus himself was $320, of the captains 8192 each, of the pilots from $132.50 to $153.50 and of a surgeon only $38.15, while the sailors received less than S3O a year. There was a special reason, no doubt why the pay of the surgion was so small. It is conjectured that the surgeon was probably a medical student who cared more for adventure, with possible gain in various ways, than for pay. But neither nor pilots could be employed on any such basis, and we must therefore conclude that there is an error in the double translation of maravedis into dollars. Columbus probably had a pretty hard lot of sailors, and their pay may have been less than the average pay of seamen of their time. But the pilots and captains were not convicts, and, since they regarded the voyage as extra hazardous and because they had to deal with sea men of hard character, we must infer that their pay was fully up to the average received by men of their class. Probably it would not be far from the truth te say that the dollars of the professor’s estimate were equal in purchasing power to four times the same number of dollars in this country today. Upon this supposition the actual cost of the voyage, aside from caravels, was at value. But after all it is a matter of conjecture rather than of knowledge or close estimation. The most that can be positively asserted is that the voyage from a commercial point of view was enormously profitable. Very likely it was the most profitable enterprise in the history of the world, reckoning the gain in the form of percentage on the original investment. It paid vastly better than the Columbian exposition in 1893 is likely to pay the stockholders of ; thatenterprise.

The use of profane, indecent and obi scene language upon our streets, has ; become so common that it seems necessary to the law governing such things. It seems to be taken for granted that the statutes are silent on the subject of iprrofanity, but such is not the case. ; Section 1995 refers to public indecency; i and anyone, who “uses or utters any j <ebscene or licentious language or words iin the presence or hearing of any female” shall be fined in any sum not ' more than SIOO, to which may be added I imprisonment. The following section ; applies to profane swearing: ! “Sec. 1999. Profanity. Whoever, : over fourteen years of age. pro--1 rfanely curses or swears, avers, or im-;-precates by or in the name of God, -Jesus Christ, or the Holy Ghost, is ' .guilty of profanity, and. upon convici lion thereof, shall be fined not more : ‘than $3, nor less than $1 for each ! -offence.” ; The statutes farther make it the ' -duty of justices of the peace and al i -other officers of the law to take cognizance of such offens as when committed ■ in their presence or hearing, and have j the offender forthwith arrested andl -.subjected to the proper penalties. ! .It is equally the duty of all good citizens to report all such offenses coming I within their notice to the proper officer ; .andhave the offender punished. i Sucftoffenses have become so com- ! monos late, that it is necessary that i .somethinAbe done to put a.stop to it; ! .and the people should back up the ' -proper stepsto put an end to the vile J .practices.—Pennville > The above article can be applied to ! -our city. The liabit is one of the worst • kind and should not be tolerated as” 1 it ■ ;is, on. the streets or anywhere else.

CHOLERA. Whal the State Board of Health has To May on the Subject. Recent advices from" Europe indicate a probable Invasion of Cholera this comniing summer; and a very large preponderance of opinion of those most competent to judge is that there is great danger that if it finds lodgment upon our const it will rapidly make its way to the Interior. It is also possible that infeetd baggage has passed to the interior, as the ports of New York, I’hlladclpha, and those of Canada discontinued the disinfecting of baggage during the winter months. The extent of its ravages depends largely upon the conditions existing upon its arrival. Judglng'from replies received to recent inquiries in regard to the sanitary condition of towns and cities in this State, much remains to be done to place us in a proper attitude to combat disease of any and ail kinds that are preventable. You are therefor ordered to inaugurate in your jurisdiction a system of thorough cleaning of all buildings, alleys, outhouses, lots, streets, or other places in which may be found things that may be detrimental to public health. In order that this may be done thoroughly, sanitary officers should be appointed, whose duty it should be to make house to .house inspections, and compel owners, occupants, lessees of premises, or persons in charge of any public or private property to clean up the same and keep them clean. The carcass of any dead animal or the offall from slaughter houses, putrid anima substances, or the contents of privy vaults must not lie placed upon public grounds, market place, common field, lot, road, street or ally, or into any river stream or lake. The water supply must receive special attention, and be carefully protected from polutioii by seepage from foul places and surface washings. Water being the reaaiest medium through>’hich cholera spreads, the absolute necessity of protecting it from contamination is apparant to everyone. Failure on the part of health officers to pusli this work vigorously, until the object is accomplshed, is such gross negligence as to amount to a crime. Let every one do his duty and demonstrate the necessity for the usefulness of boards of health. You are directed to promulgate and enforce the foregoing, and to prosecute any one who may resist the execution of your orders. By order of the Board. 8. 8. Boots, M. D., Pres. C.N. Metcalf, M. D..

The Weather for April. “A combination of onuses conspire at the opening, and during the entire month of April, which are calculated to produce disturbances of maximum severity, and which will overun the limits of the storm periods in their normal state.”—Hicks. The most dagerous storms will occur about the central dates of the regular storm periods, the first of which will extend from the 2nd to 6th, with third, fourth and fifth aedanger days, apt to be very warin In the west, with heavy storms of thunder, rain, hail and tornadoes traveling eastward, turning to snow and sleet In the north, followed by general cold wave up to about 9th and loth. Very warm wave general between 18th and 18th, and storms of vlo lence likely to occur 15th, 10th and 17th probably extending into the reactionary storms due about the 91st and 22nd. Watch without ceasing all threatening storm clouds during tilts period, and Indeed during the whole month, and be ready ,for destructive hail storms and suddea changes to cold. The last period embraces the 25tli to the 28 inclusive, during which it will grow very warm again, with many heavy storms, hale and thunder traveling eastv ard across the continent. After the storm expect cold and frost. The month will end veiy cool. It should go without saying, that tornadoes are sure to accompany the storms of April, in many places. “What I say unto you I say unto all. Watch! Flowers for the Hair. Natural flowers, one is delighted to think are again the most fashionable ornaments for the hair. There can indeed be nothing more charming in every way than a fresh sweet flower for the attornment of any woman’s dress. One thing only in connection with this graceful faslion strikes one as preposterous. Whenever the announcement is made that “fresh flowers comming in again,” one also reads that such and such flowers are most fashionable. What nonsense this is, to'be sure! You choose flowers, and above all, flowers which you intend to wear in your hair or on your dress, chiefly for the sake of their shape and color—unless indeed you are independent enougli and sufficiently sentimental to choose the flower which for some seasoir or other is dearer to you than all others. For instance, paneies may or may not be numbered among the select few which are “fashionable,” but there is not a flower that looks more lovely in light brown hair than a pansy of purplish velvet or in auburn hair that pansy of various shades of burnished gold which has become so populal of late. —New York Advertiser.

Fort Wayne drinking men to the number of 125 have taken treatment at the Plymouth Institute at Warsaw., Forty have gone to the same place from Wabash. Huntington has sent but* one, says the Huntington Democrat, and the result of tills man’s treatment has gratified him beyone measure. When Huntington men come to realize that Alcoholism is a disease and that it readily and painlessly yields to treatment, they will be more inclined to seek health, happiness and prosperity in the manner suggested. It is a campaign of education that Dr. Borton is waging, and the extensive patronage that he is receiving from Ft. Wayne, Wabash and many other cities evidences Jthe high appreciation of his work. He does not punish drunkness as a crime, but cures it as a disease.

Harvest time has arrived for our physicians. They are not idle. There is a great deal of sickness at present, and as we believe, much of it is caused by thoughtless exposure during the warm spells of weather. When you throw off a garment, to get a nice cool breeze, or allow your children to cast aside their shoes in order to free themselves of the “prison cells of pride,” you are aiding your family physician to lift the mortgage from his home, if he has not succeeded in doing that already through your thoughtlessness.
