IREMOVAL!

After this wceW the SrtNTtotFX will occupy rooms ores "Leopold's Store, where we shall be pleased to greet old and new friends and patrons. Two ladies, Mrs. Hamilton and Miss Evans, were candidstee for School Directors, at the recent election in Cass township, <Hnnt.ington eounty, Fa., but failed a few votes of election. A bill has passed the lower house of tne Indiana Legislature providing, as a penalty for the? crime of rape, im prisonment in the penitentiary not less than twenty one nor more than twentv-five years. Not much of a margin there for the jury. ■snaßmassßEnar Now if Jaff Davis had only turned over te the Radical party, he would to-day bens handsomely rewarded by the Fraud, as was the rebel guerilla Mose by, Longstreet, P. M. Gen. Key, Agness Jenks. Eliza Pinkston, and hundreds vs ike ilk.

The Republican employes of the U. S. Senate, who have held their bsitbs for eig iteeu years, are Inexpressibly shocked at the desire of the Democrats to take them. They can’t understand such greed for office. It surprises and mortifies them.

Zach. Chandler told with great gusto, recently, how he had s< iv® I four years in the United Staves Senate with Jeff. Davis, but alas! tha it should bo that so stalwart a warrior for the party couldn’t say that he had served with him in the Mexican war. or agMnst him in t e war of the rebellion. Zach was at the firs" Bull Run but wholly in the capacity of a a looker-on, and history is not quite certain whether, after the defeat, it was the London Times man or the the great Michigander who was the .first to reach Washington.

Senator Grubbs, who originated a «<!>•! bill with a view to prevent the unearthing and exposure of rascality of radicalism, has deela ed that if "the Democrats and Nationals would unite only one district would go Republican,” and his followers all over the State have set up a howl, and refuse to be comforted. NjW let him explain the probable result in case the Democrats and Nationals should not unite, or in . the event of a coalition between the Radicals and Nationals, and ease up the harrowed fears of his friend:?.

Radical papers are copying articles »a d to have originated in a paper tnUled the Southern Stu es, claimed tube published at Okalona, Miss.— Of courae it is only necessary to add that any paper in the South, or elsewhere, furnishng capital for the use of radicals, rnayjsafely be presumed to be in the interest and pay of that party. But that kin;! of game is "played” It gave aid and impetus in the organization and building up of tue radii al party, fosteiing of sectionalism and producing civil war, but the delusive trick has served its time, and is too base und bare to succeed again. They are too transparent to mislead the peoole any more.

Republican exchanges are coming to band wiih supplements containing maps of the new congressional districts,. tog< thep with the editorial remarks of the Indianapolis Journal.— In referring to this apportionment, Miss Laura Ream, the lively Indianapolis correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial,, says of the Republican gerrymander which the present bill supercedes: “For instance, in the new gerrymander there is no cruciform district like the old Eleventh.— Nor is there such a pyramidal stairway of a combination as the old Eighth, tho district gerrymandered to beat Mi. Voorhees. And there was another nondescript Republican district constructed especially to beat Mr. Holman—namely,.the Sixth, extending 200 miles in length, from the banKS of the Mississineway on the north to the waters of the Ohio-on the south, and never more- than one county in width. In connection with the peculiarities of the old gerrymander Representative Saint said his district always reminded him of a pair of old saddlebags. Our republican friends can ffud no such unshapely districts in the new bill. The truth is, that the bill can nut possibly be called a ’’jerry ruander” in any true sense. In only three of the districts have the Democrats a clear majority.*

ABOUT THE NORTHERN PRISON.

A. Batch of Interesting Interrogatorien for Warden Mayne to Answer The following letter addressed to Warden Mayne of Hie Northern prison, is published by request of the writer. To Charles Mayne, Esq.: MiDetr Sib—You will pemvt me to express my regret at the course you are pursuing in relation to your position as warden of the Northern prison. I regret it; first, because lam your personal friend and desire that you be sustained in the right, hut in the wrong,never It is numb better

for you personally to be right than to ba warden, and that you are wrong in this matter, there can scarcely be a doubt In the first place you are a Democrat, and as such should be willing at all times to be governed by the Usages of our party, ard when their will is expressed in a lawful and legitimate manner, you as well as every other loyal Democrat, should bow in humble submission, and without which no party organisation can be maintained. After having been hon» oi ed for eight years by our party you can not in justice to yourself or them afford to become a disorganizer. If your present position means anything it means that. You were first a candidite for warden in 1871. The Democrats honnredfyou by electing you. You were again a candidate in 1875. The Democrats again elected you. You were a candidate for re-election again this year. You and your Mends urged your claims and did all they could to secure the election by the General Assembly of three gentlemen pledged ro your retention, in this you and they failed. With what propriety, let me ask, can you now turn round, simply because you failed in securing office for 12 years, and try to distract and destroy the party to whom you are indebted for all that you are? Let me ask you candidly if you do not think this is such Ingratitude as to make your real friends hang their heads in shame? I under stand that you claim your office now by appointment of the old Republican board, or at least by the action of two of the members of that board.— Let me ask you if it ever occurred to you and your especial friends that you were trifling with the intelligence ot the better men of both political parties? If you did not believe and know that the present General Assembly had the lawful right to elect tliree directors, why did you and your friends labor so earnestly and zealously to secure the election of gentlemen pledged to v®te for you? Again, why did you, if you did not believe those gentlemen were legally and lawfully elected, solicit their support after they were elected? If you will answer these questions sincerely , and honestly you will certainly see . the awkward and embarrassing posi- ! tion in which you have placed yourself and friends. Men cun not, if they would, shut their eyes to these things, and all men that desire the confidence and respect of their friends must act with some degree of consistency, and our Republican friends, by the action 1 of Messrs. Dykes and,’Baker,are placed ,in a still worse light. If these gentlemen did not think their term of office would expire on the 10th day of ' Mai ch, as all their predecessors had ' don , why were they candidates before the late session of the General ' Assembly for re election? And again, if they believed there was any real merit in their pretended legal right to hold over, why elect a Democrat? Are there no Republicans in northern Indiana fit to be warden of the prison? i If so, then the Republican party has I fallen very low. Let me ask you. I gentlemen, why this unnatural alliance? Why this Republican board I elects a Democrat to the exclusion of ; their own party? And why the Dem- : ocratic warden sustains and supports I the Republican board, to the exclu- : slon of his Democratic brethren?—. 1 And that, too, a board that had tried I to heap upon him contumely and disgrace by removing and charging him ; with malfeasance in office? I appeal i to yout better nature, your nobler manhood, your hitherto unsullied ' nama and unswerving Democracy to give a fair and honest explanation of i these seeming questionable transacj tions Your prompt reply will relieve I the minds of your many personal i friends in this State, among whom I lam not the least. Yours, truly, Justice, Speech of Senator Wood on the-Motion to Postpone Consideration of the Priaon Bill. Following is the speech cf Senator Wood, of Lake county, delivered in the Senate Tuesday: Mr. President—All debate is cut off by this motion. All the resource 1 have to expressjny condemnatien of this rotten business at this prison is to explain my vote. The Democratic party of this State should have the control of this prison. The Democratic party elected directors to succeed th® Republican directors at the Northern prison. When the Republican party elected directors for this prison the DernoPratie ine imbents stepped down an<4 out. How is it now? We see Uvo cf the Republican directors defying their successors in office. One Republican director, Mr. Luther, 1/ft that delectable bodv of law breakers, and like an honest man, yielded the office to his succes sors. The other two, defying the law and their Demecratic successors, I sneaked >nto a back room and went | through the farce of electing a Democrat as warden. That Democrat is my friend, but my friend f? wrong, and 1 cuffl not support him. There is something wrong in Israel. Republican officials 8o not choose leading Democrats to fill important offices ■ where there is a contest for position, i unless something io wrong in Israel. I It is publielj charged that there is i corruption at the bottom; that there is something terrible covered up, and I that the ring feared a change of manI agement, and that unless they could ; get their own men elected, they wo’d ; hold the iort in defiance of the law, ■ and they did lock the gates of the ‘ prison in the face of the new Democratie board and withheld from them I all the books and papers of the prisl on

“Did this Republican ring mean to stifle any disclosure- of affairs of this prison? Senator Old#—l call the Senator to order. He has no right to make a speech. [Cries of “Go on, go on,” from the Democratic side.] Mr. Wood—l want the Republicans on this floor to indorse this ring if they dare. I dare them to record their votes in favor of this rotten business. [Cries of “Order, order,” and great confusion- ensued.] Mr. Wood - Does my explanation hurt you? Why are you- so tender upon this subject?' Why do you desire to hold your Republican directors in office in defiance of law? This is magnilcent business for thoßepub'lican party of Indiana. [Great confusion and cries of “Order,” in the chamber from the Republican side.] If there is fraud and a steal in this Republican ring, why will you support it? It is charged that this ring, one day oefore the new board went to tile prison, let a contract of 400 men at 45 cents per day, when 55 to 60 cents could readily have been had fui them. This is a loss to theJStato of $75,000. Oh, ‘his is high-handed business, and will not be justified by reason or right. I vote “No,” with. great pleasure.

Ex-Governor John Whitaker, Democratic Congressman from Oregon, made th* trip across the continent, from Sun Francisco to-Washington, in five days, the shortest time on record. The last time he crossed the plains before was in 1852, with an ox-team, and he was fiv,' months in doing it.

Bob Ingersoll, the great Republican orator, ia still ridiculing the Bible. The Presbyterian General Assembly meets this year at Saratoga. Pocahontas is to have a monument over her grave at Gravesend. England, where she lies buried. The contract for the narrow-guage. railroad from Joppa to Jerusalem has been given to a Cincinnati engineer. Tacks placed points upward on the floor are saidj to interfere with the movement of materialized spirits in Boston seances. A veteran named Page resides near Dunbar.

Counsel to witness—“ You are a nice sort of a fellow, you are!” Witness—“l’d say the same of you, sir, only I’m on my oath.” “Lenny, you’re a pig,” said a father to his little five-year-old. “Now, do you know what a pig is, Lenny?”— “Yes, »lr; a pig’s a hog’s little boy.” It was a little Scotch girl of seven years who. upon being asked whether she would marry or remain sinsrle, said: “Neither; I shall be a widow.” Queen Victoria, it is rumored, has expressed a strong wish to see Canada, and the Prince of Wales is encouraging her to visit both that country and the United States. Greeley, Colorado, with a population of three tnousand, requires no police or constables, has ne liquor stores, and has spent only seven dollars of its poor fund in two years.

A country girl, coming from a morning walk, was told that she looked as fresh as a daisy kissed by the dew, to which she innocently replied; “You’ve got my name right—Daisy; but his isa’t Dewl” A Norway horse can help himself to water, as he does to hay, from a trough kept full of it, and accordingly drinks like a human being at meals—a sip, than some hay, and so on. Brokenw'nded horses are almost unknown in Norway. Tekas papers are praying for the whipping post The San Antonio Herald has heard of a negro who stole a box of sardines valued at twenty cents, and was sent to the penitentiary at an expense of SI .000 to the State. One of the discoveries made by the late Arctic explorers is that the length of the polar night is one hundred and forty-two days. What a place that would be in which to tell a man with a bill to call around day after to-mor-row and get his money! Tipton Times: “Rev. George Harding. of Indianapolis has been proving conclusively that Dan Voorhees is not an orator. This reminds us that Rev. John Jasper, of Virginia, has been proving conclusively that the earth is not round, and Jasper doesn’t get any sheriff’s sales to print either “ “Na, na; I’ll hae nac mair Irishmen,’* said a Lothien farmer to a Hibernian applicant for work. “The last twa that I had dee’t on mv hand, and I had to bury them at my ain expense.” “Och, surl there’s no fears o’ me.shure lean get a surtiffikit. fiom the houle of me masters that I didn’t die wid none o’ them.” Onions a Cure for Croup.—A lady who speaks from experience says that probably nine children out often who die of croup might be saved by the timely application of roast onions, mashed, laid upon a folded napkin and goose oil, or even lard poured on and applied as warm as can be borne comfortably to the throat and upper part of the chest, and to the feet and hands. A cruel hoax was lately perpetrated on the credulous darkies of the lower Mississippi Valley, who were told that Kansas is the land of promise, where the long-desired “forty acres and a mule* await every comer. The poor creatures are pouring into St. Louis by the hundreds, only to find that they have been the victims of wholesale deception, and most of them have no money to get back.

The Democrats now have control of the legislative department of the general government and they cheerfully accept the fuli responsibility. Now let us all carefully watch and see if they do such dreadful things t« overturn the government as the Rapublicans have told us they would.— The full band has commenced to play, and the Tightened Republicans may as well pluck up courage to come out of their holes and listen attentively to the cheerful music. Courage, aoble Republicans, Courage. Play.—Lanorte Argus. A Sad Case.—A touching story is told of a lady in Kentucky who was suddenly stricken with a failing of the optic nerve, and was told that she could not retain her sight more than a few days at most, and was likely to be deprived of it any moment. She returned to her home, quietly made such arrangements as would occur to any one aoout to commence so dark a journey of life, and then she had her two children attired in their brightest costumes, brought before her, and so, with their little faces lifted to hers, and tea s gathering for the great misfortune that they hardly realized, the light faded out of the mother’s eyes. An Interesting Wedding —The marriage of three sisters at one time and in the same church made a sensation In society circles in the village of Greene, N. Y. The triple ceremonies were performed in the Congregational church in the presence of a large number of guests, and parties came from the country for miles around to witness the scene. The brides and bridegrooms w. re Miss Mary H. Grant and the Rev. Smith T. Greene; Miss Flora R Grant and Mr. H. H. Scott, a New York shoe merchant, and Miss Jennie L. Grant and the Rev. Wm.N. Ritchie, of the forty fourth Street Bresbyterian Church, New Yotk. The three sisters standing together at the altar in their bridal' robes made a striking picture. The Duke of Wellington was one day sitting at his library when the door opened, and, without announce ment in stalked a figureof skiguiarly ill omen. “Who are you?” asked the Duke, in his short dry manner, looking up without the least change of countenance upon the intruder. “I am Apollyon.” “What do you want?” “I am sent to kill you.” “Kill me—very odd.” “I ana Apollyon, and I must put you to death.” “’Bliged to do it to-day?” “I am not told the day or the hour, butl must do my mission.” “ Very inconvenient—very bu-sy-great many letters to write -call again and write me word—l’ll be teady for yon.” And the Duke went on with his correspondence.

Most Marvelous Shooting on Record.

They had been talking about the remarkable shooting of Dr. Carver, th® marksman who shootsjwith a rifle glass balls which are sent into the air as fist a? a man can throw them. Presently Abner Bying. who was sitting by, said: “That’s nothing.” “What’s nothing?” “Why, that shooting. Did yon ever know Tom Potter?” “No? “Well Potter was the best hand with a rifle I ever saw; beat this man Carver all bollow. I’ll tell you what I’ve seen this man Potter do. Yq,u know, maybe, along there in the cherry season Mrs. Putter would want to preserve some cherries; so Tom would pick ’em for her, and how do yon think he’d stotre ’em?” “I don’t know. How?” “Why, he’d fill his gun with bird shot and get a b3y to drop half a bushel of cherries at one time from the roof of the house. As they came down he’d fire and take the stones clean out of every cherry in the lot! It’s a positive fact! he might occasionally miss one, but not often. But he did bigger shooting than that when he wanted to.“ “What did he do? ' “Why, Jim Miller—did you know him?* “No?”

“Well, Tom made a bet once with him that he could shoot the buttons off of his own coat tail by aiming in the opposite direction, and Jim took him up.” “Did he do it?“ “Do it! he fixed himself in position and aimed at the tree in front of him. The ball hit the tree, caromed, hit the corner of the house, caromed, struck a lamp post, caromed and flew behind Tom and nipped the buttons off slick as a whistle. You bet he did it.* “That was fine shooting.” “Yes, but 1 ve seen Tom Potter beat it. I’ve seen him stand under a flock of wild pidgeons, billions of them coming like wind and kill ;em so fast that the front of the flock never passed a given line but turned over and fell down, so that it looked like a kind of a brown and feathery Niagara.— Tom did it with twenty-three breechloading rifles and a boy to foad ’em. He always shot with that kind ” ’’You say yoa saw him do this soit of shooting?” “Yes, sir: and better than that too. Why I’ll tell you what I’ve seen Tom Potter do. I saw him once set up an India rubber target at three hundred feet and hit the bull’s eye twenty seven times a minute with the same ball! He wonld hit the target, and the ball would bounce back right into the rifle barrel just as Tom h,ad clapped in a fresh charge of powder, and so he kept her going backwaid and forward until at last he happened to move his gun and the bullet missed the muzzle of the barrel. It was the biggest thing I ever saw; the very biggest—except one.” "What was that?”

“Why, one day I was out with him when he was practicing and it came on to rain. Tom didn’t want to get wet, and wo had no umbrella, and what do you think he did?” “What?” “Now whatdo you chink that man did to keep dry?” “I ean’t imagine." “Well, sir, he got me to load his weapons for him, and I pledge you my word, although it begun to rain harl, he hit every <.rop that came down, so that the ground for about eightjj feet around us was as dry as punk. It was beautiful, sir—beautiful? And then the company rose up slowly ana passed out one by one, each man eyeing Abner and looking solemn as he went by; and when they had gone Abner looked queerly for a moment and said to me: ‘There’s nothing I hate so much as a liar. Give me a man who is the friend of the solid truth and I’ll tie to him.”—Camden (N. J.) Democrat,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

To Parties in need of Employment In a communication to us the Patentees and Proprietors of the" Centenniel Cake and Baking Pan ask us to refer them to a party who would make them a good agent to sell the above named pau to the people of our own and adjoining counties, and as the best means of bringing the matter to the notice of parties in this vicinity who are in want of a busi ness that is light and easy to per form, and one that there is certainly considerable money to be made at, we insert this notice. The following is a description of the pan:

It is made of Russia Iron, and will bake a cake, a beautiful brown, much nicer and more evenly than it can be baked in the old fashioned tin cake pan, nnd being provided with a detachable rim, you can, by simply raising a hook, remove the rim of the pan from the sides of the cake without breaking or injuring it in the least, thus leaving the cake on the bottom of the pan, very convenient for icing or frosting, the bottom oi the pap being raised prevents the cake from b -ing burnt on the bottom; the tube in the center can be removed by inserting a common case knife in the slot in the top and turning it half round when it will drop out; there is*also a slide on the bottom by which you can close the bole after removing the tube,making a plain bottom plan: for baking fruit cake, bread, biscuits, &e„ thus practically giving you two pans for the price of one. With all these advantages over all other pans, an agent has no trouble at all in selling from ten to twenty-five of them per day, One agent has sold over one thou sand of these pans in one county,, and reports that he has not gone over one half of it yet, and we would advise anv one eut of employment to write at once to L. E. Brown & Co., 125 and 127 Central Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio, mentioning that they read this notice in our pacer, and they will send you a descriptive circular and terms to agents and full particulars as to territory, &c.

A New Way to Pay Taxes.

A singular event occurred a few days ago in Sco land county, Missouri. In obedience to an order hrotaa the United States Court, the County Com fflissioners had levied a special tax to pay judgments against the county for interest on certain railroad bonds heretofore issued by it. Opposition to the payment of the bonds is very great, ‘and by common consent the people refused to pay the special tax, whereupon the collector levied upon and seized some sixty or eighty horse? and advertised them for sale at the county seat. The sale was to come off one day last week, but, although the town was ful of people, there were no bidders for the horses except the owners thereof, o‘ich man bidding for And buying in his own an iitials at five or ten cents a head.— The proceeds of the sale at this rate amounted to next o nothing—not enough to pay the collector’s fees—and so tee judgments remain unsatisfied. This line of act on was the re snlt of an agreement among the people that no person except the owner o' a horse should bid on him. With such a feeling as this, it is difficult to see how the United States Court can enforce payment of the judgments it has rendered.

What Women can Do.

Our attention has been called to a new article for the use of ladies, the invention of which has conferred an everlasting blessing upon every lady. We refer to the Queen City Skirt Suspenders, for supporting ladies skirts, the most desirable and beneficial article ever invented for the relief of women, many of whom have suffered years of miserable health caused solely by carrying the weight of a number of heavy skirts, completely down. Something to support ladies’ clothing is absolutely necessary. These suspenders are recoroffiended by our leading physi clans to all ladies and young girls. Every lady should have them. Thousands will testify to their excellence and the advantages to be derived from wearing them. They are sold only through lady agents. Many ladies in other localities are leaking from a hundred to two hundred dollars per month, selling these ard other new articles made by the same company, and it can be done here. "We have been asked by the manufacturers for the name of a reliable lady to act as their agent for' this county. We advise such to write at once to the Quern City Suspender Company, Elm and Longworth Street .Cincinnati, Ohio.

Worth Twice the Sum.

We are just in receipt of the Chicago Ledger, the leading family paper of the West, which is now entcrieg upon its seventh volume. The The Ledger is a large forty-eight column weoKly paper, printed upon bold, plain type, which can be read with ease, by either the old or young, and is filled with choice stories and matter of particular interest to every household. This excellent journal is supplied to subsdribers, postage paid, for the extremely low price of one dollar and fifty cents per year. In order to more rapidly increaee its present large list of readers, the publishers of this paper, the publishers of this paper have just made a new contract for the manufacture of several thousand fine nickel plated English steel barrel-and-cylinder sevenshot revolvers 22 caliber—which they propose to aistiibute among their subscribers at co'st, and therefore offer one of these elegant weapons of defense and the Ledger one year for three dollars, The revolver will be sent by mail, postage paid, on receipt of the price. They have already distributed $3,000 revolvers and are mailing hundreds daily. Now is your time to get a first class revolver and the best paper in the country .or less than half the actual worth of either. The sample copies of the Ledger will be sent to any address for ten cents. Address the Ledger, Chicago, 111.

All Pensioners of the Government (except Jeff Davis) will do well to call on Mordecai F. Cnilcote, Attor-ney-at-Law of Rensselaer, Indiana, and ascertain whether it is SSOO or SI,OOO due them under the provision of the arrears of Pension act approved January 25th, 1879. He can tell.

The attention of the public is invited to the Adamantine Pavement, as an article deserving special consider ation. This pavement is a Portland Cement Betun, which, though soft and plastic when laid, solidifies into a stone of great hardness, surpassing many of the best natural ston?, in strength, density and durability. It is moulded cp the walks in blocks of any form, si2e and thickness, which do not combine and Interlock, and may, if desii ed, be taken up and relaid like ordinary flagstone. From its plastic nature it may be laid on curved and irregular walks, with the same facility as on straight ones, and without that waste of material and extra expense that pertains to the fitting of stone. It maybe made al most as white as marble, or tinted to imitate blue, brown and other sand stone. It is rich, elegant, durable and cheap. The most desirable pavement yet introduced for either private grounds or publij sidewalks. It has a wide and varied application, and numerous testimonials can be furnished from those who have practically tested its merits. Walks that have been in use five years are as level, sound and perfect to-day as when just finished, and to all appearance will last a century. Inquiries and orders respectfully solicited. Address,
