Out with your handkerchiefs! The Fraud will not consent Wj a second term. — Count Schouveloff is reported ill and it is feared he will Schouveh lT this mortal coil. —- A Temperanc meeting will be held at the Court House to-morrow (Saturday) evening, November Bth. - The official vote in California on Chinese immigration is 883 in favor, and 151,638 nguinat allowing them to settle in that Slav. The Cincinnati Commercial sa%s Morton and Chandler “ > er - n uch alike.”. Why didn’t it ini lu lel’huruoh, too? There is no end to the oppositon i f the rads to ex-rebel Brigadiers, and In Ohio, at the recent election thev ex wrested equal hos’ility to Federal Brigadiers. The election in New York proves that State to ne Democratic by a handsome majority, when no dissensions exist in the ranks of the grand old par .y, A Democratic President next year with no interference from an electoral commission. Mark that I Prof. Tice says that, on the nightof November 18th, 1879, we are to have the most brilliant meteoric display had since 1888, when to all intents and purposes the sky literally rained lire. The display will i.ot commence until I o’clock lathe morning, but the l’ro'o aor says the tmignifl enc; of the display will more than compensate for the loss of sleep. - The radicals of India ia intend to colonize negroes in the State, t:u t tiie b lance of power in the hands and by that means seek to carry the next elections. Wherever this element is brought in competition with white labor it shoul l have the effect of making two votes against everyone so imported. And it will if the white laboring men of the country will watch and defend their interests. — . On Sunday, October 20, 1879, Hon ■lames Burns, well known to many citizens of this and adjoining counties, died at his home, in Lewistown. Pennsylvania, in the 78t.h year of his age. He was for many ye,-us a leading, aciive and inllueutial Democrat, lie began life aw ti laborer, but ac quired considerable wealth, and not lot-getting the cares of his early struggles,: he was liberal to a fault and ever ready to extend.a helping hand to * hose ho t hought deserving.

Tlte radicai press make no reference to (lie murder of Judge Hayden at Grand Rapids, Michigan. Hayden was a prominent, active, influential Democrat, therefore decidedly obnoxious to tlto radical ring. Cochrane, a member of the ring, discharged a load of buckshot into the body of Hayden, killing him instantly. Had the Judge been a radical eapet bagger in tiie South and killed by asouthirn man under the most justifiable circumstances, the radical supplements would flood the country with distorted statements of the outrage.

History repeats itself. Forty-three years before the Clistiun era. ia the Homan empire, there was the Cjssab “boom,” which reminds one of the the “booms” of to-day, started by the ring thieves and pets of Grant, who would make him the Ctesar ot the nineteenth century. Statesmen and patriots like Washington and Jackton would not lend themselves to t.ie schemes of partisan sycophants as does Grant to-day. Only your Cmsars submit to being deified, declared ademi god, yield to the enslavement of tire people.

On the night he died, Zach. Chandler delivered one of his “blood letting” sectional partisan speeches in Chicago. In strong eonttast was his remarks compared with tho3e of the representative men of tiie South, who were the subjects of his bitter denunciations. In that speech, lie declared, at the close of his remarks, “We ain’t a-going to die yet; we have made other arrangements.” What those arrangements were he failed to state, but in the sequel one thing is evident and revealed, and that is—- “ Man proposes, but God disposes.’* * An old soldier of Meagher’s Irish brigade writes to the Chicago Times to say: “Iu your editorial of yesterday you seemed to doubt the fact of Gen. Hancock having been wounded. Permit me to say Gen. Hancock received a severe wound in the groin at the battle of Ream’s-Station, August ( 1861—one of Grant’s movements to capture and break up the Weldon railroad.” The Washington Herald adds: “This old soldier seems to forget that Gen. Hancock was also severely wounded at Gettysburg on the 3d of July. 1863. when his corps sustained the brunt of the Confederate attack. He refused to leave the field, however, although earnestly urged to do so, but remained reclinirg under a tree cooly giving orders to his troops until the final assault of the enemy had been repulsed. That’s what kind of a soldier Gon. Winfield S. Hancock is.” Aside from being frequently shot in the neck by a bottle, c m the friends of the “traveling boom” uatne the battle in which he received a wound? Grant certainly took precious good eare of his carcass. And to day in his exhibitions he presents an urt scarred skin. We suggest that whim his present managers have made the tour of the principal cities with him, Bttrnum engage him to travel with h s “greatest show on earth.”

Doe. Wirt is having a good rush of work. Temperance meeting to-morrow evening. Capt. Carnahan, of Lafayette, made us a pleasant eall last evening. •Sheriff Harmon, of*Benton county was iu town during the week. Mrs. D. 13. Miller returned from a visit to Valparaiso, Monday evening. No reserved seats at the lecture course, except Tor holders of season tickets. Benton court tv eausts seem CO occupy the time of the Jasper Circu t Court this week. Cotton un i McCoys are to-daj'pay-ing $1 lu for wheat; 28 and 30 for corn, and 25 for oats. Titos. Saxon, of Washington Court House, is employed in the Banking House of the Messrs. Dwiggins. Sam. Rothrock, of Monticeilo, presides over the Clothing Department in the house of J. I. Purcupile & Co. The cause of the State vs. George Smith has been dismissed, owing to death of defendant. —Married, November Gth, 1879, at the residence of the bride’s parents, by llev. D. J. iluston, Joseph I. Adams and Susan M. K Castor, all of Jasper county. A man was boasting that he had an elevator in his house. “So he has,” chinned in his wife, “and he keeps it in the cupboard in a bottle.” The “Rowlaud Hughes" was ditched ut the gravel pit, Pittsburg, yesterday, delaying arrival of train at this point to about 12 o’clock last night. That Wood.— Quite a number of our friends have promised us wood on account of subscription. Please bring it right along. We need it now Miss Fannie 13.

The Rensselaer Dramatic Club will play “Three Glasses a Day,” or, “The Broken Home,” and the “Miller of Derwent,” at Starr’s Hall, next Thursday night. Subject, morning and evening. Sunday next, at the Ceristiau Church, by D. T. Halstead, “The miraculous gifts of the Spirit—their purpose and perpetuity.” The public cordially invited. Daily aad Cowgili, of Oxford; Dawsou Smith, Mahlou Smith, Travis, Straight & Willey, of Fowler, and Adams of Lafayette, comprise the list of foreign attorneys in attendance at court this week. Capt. James A. Carnahan, of Lafayette, Grand Vice Chancellor of the Knights of Ppthias of Indiana, paid the Lodge at this place an official visit last night, and assisted in conferring the second rank on three candidates. T. M. Jones will go to Chicago next week and purchase his supply of fall and winter goods, comprising an extensive and varied assortment of overcoatings and suitings, etc. Don’t purchase suits until lie returns and you have had an opportunity to examine his stock. Ezra C. Nowels was duly installed in the Auditor’s office on Monday last. He is a gentleman of fine abilities, an accommodating, efficient faithful and acceptabie Auditor, h! A. Barkley, having discharged the duties of the office during the past four years with efficiency and fidelity retires with the commendation and good wishes of all.

The Messrs Dwiggins’ of this place have made the necessary arrangements to establish a branch Rank at Oxford, Renton county. “Zita” went to Chicago last Monday to purchase a sa p e for the new institution. They are accommodating, clever gentlemen, and the house at Oxford, under their management will prove a vulu. able acquisition to that town. Many persons are puzzled to understand what the terms “fourpenuy,” “sixpenny” and “tenpenny” mean as applied to nails. “Fuurpenny* means four pounds to the thousuud nails; “sixpenny” means six pounds to the t housand, and so on. It is an old English term, and ment at first “ten pound” nails (the thousand being understood) but the old English clipped it to “tenpun ” and from that rt degenerated until “penny” was substi tilted for “pound.” When a thousand nails weigh less thad a pound they are called tucks, brads, etc-, and are reckoned by ounces. WHA T A N OL D MA NHAS NOTICED. 1 have noticed that all men are honest when well watched. I have noticed that purses will hoM pennies as well as pounds. I have noticed that in order to be a- reasonable creature it ie necessary at times to be downright nmd. I have noticed when the purse is empty and the kitchen cold, then is the voice of flattery no longer heard. 1 have noticed that silks, broad-cloths and jewels are often bought with other people’s money.. 1 have noticed that whatever is, is right, with a few exceptions—the left eye, the left leg and the left side of a plum pudding. J have notieed that the prayer of the sel tisli man is, “Forgive us our debts ” while he makes everybody that owes hiniSJpay to the utmost farthing. I have noticed that he who thinks every maD a rogue, is certain to see one when he shaves himself, and ho ought, in mercy to see his neighbors, to surrender the rascal to justice. I have noticed that money is the fool s wisdom, the knave’s reputation, the poor man’s desire, the covetous, man’s ambition, and the fdol of them all.

Ti*Ntgh\ Two lovers han Upon the gate. A nearing form iaeeen— It ia their fate. A piercing scream from her The welkin rent. It was, as yon infer. Her pa-ri-ent. The lover senght to scoot— Alas! too late. He's hoisted with a boot Beyond the gate. —New York World.

A woman in Fitchburg, Mass., has natural hair 81 inches long. All who advertise do not get rich, but very few get rich without. A New Yorker is suing his wife for divorce because she goes to sleep before he does. There are calumnies against which even innocence loses courage,—Napoleon. Thomas Howard, colored, has been indicted at JeffeiSuiiville for marrying a white woman. Sitting Bull’s wife is named “Red Rosebud of the Prairie.” Charming! Romantic! The Indian of it is “Tehugugutchugh.” A Syracuse man, says the Sunday Times, of that city, thinks his wife a righteous woman because she is never forsaken—by her mother. “Mamma, can’t we have anything we want?“ “Yes, my dears, if you be careful and don’t want anything you can’t have.”

“Do you drink?” asked a lady of a peddler. He dropped his pack, and remarked: “Veil, I shust as lieve drink mit you as any odder mans.” When Caleb Cushing was Minister to China he had his visiting cards printed in the Chinese style, on long strips of red paper, with his name, “Ku-Shung.” At the unveiling of the Quinsy statue in Boston on the 11th ult., there was present Moses Williams, the only living member of the City Council under Mr. Quincy’s administration, fifty odd years ago. It was an unfortunate mistake of the compositor to put under the head line, “Reduction in the Price of Gas.” the statement that “Mr. receives only SSO for a lecture now, instead of SIOO, as formerly.” A young lady of Philadelphia had her pocket picked of a wallet containidg $5. On ascertaining her loss she found that a diamond ring, pronounced to be worth SBOO, had slipped from the thief’s finger during the operation and remained in her pocket.

Soft-Soap.- • Twenty pounds of pure grease to 14 pounds of potash will make a clean fish-barrel full; dissolve it in water in a brass kettle over the fire; put the grease in the barrel; first pour the solution of potash over the grease, and stir it with a stick; let it stand 24 hours, then pour a pail of cold water in the barrel, and stir it thoroughly; let it stand 12 hours, and as it thick?ns add apail of cold water and stir again, and add water every 12 hours and s + ir until the barrel is full. In cold weather we use warm water. Be particular to have the barrel tight, as lye will leak tnrough where water will not. A barrel will not answer more than twice, as the lye destroys it.

Fever and Ague. It will be useful for poor people, and those in the country, away from the drug stores and doctors, to know, on the authority of Dr. Beach, the noted botanic doctor, that a strong infusfon of yarrow (white tansy) and boneset is a good substitute for quinine in fever and ague, or other malarious complaints. The plants should be gathered when in flower, and a douole handful of each steeped in one qnart of boiling water and drank freely three or four times a day. The prescription was given bv Dominie Van Saxon, a weil-known missionary in Chiua for thirty years, who studied medicine and the properties of herbs before going out, as most valuable for usefulness among the poor.

AN INVITATION TO INDIANA SOLDIERS.

There will be a reunion of ex-Union soldiers of Indiana at Indianapolis, on November 20, in honor of General U. S. Grant. The committee on reunion at Indianapolis desires to ascertain as nearly as possible the number of ex-soldiers who will attend from each county. Those desiring to he present will please call a meeting of ex-soldiers and appoint a committee of three or more to ascertain how many will attend, and the chairman of this committee will please report to the secretary of the committee at Indianapolis, so that arrangements may be made for their reception. By order of eommittee. W. Q. Gresham, R. P. Foster, 11. C. Adams, M. G. McLain, D. M. Ransdall, C. J. Dobb, b. J. Peelle, D. W. Howe, C. C. Hines,. G. W. Russ, 11. C. Holloway r M.H. Floyd, Geo. C.

Celery a Cure for Rheumatism.

He who has suffered Trom this terrible disease will feel somewhat doubtful if there can be any sure cure for it. But physicians are speaking very strongly of the use of celery as ben eficial; and some of the English papers assuie us that they have good medical authority for affirming that it is a certain cure if used properly. To be efficacious it must be cooked, not eaten raw, as is the usual custom. If taken uncooked, although a delightful addition to any meal, its curative qualities are never developed, and it is because it is so seldom cooked that its remarkable effect on such complaints has not been perceived. The celery should be cut into small pieces and boiled in a little water until soft, and the water sho jld be used as a drink. Add sweet milk (new milk if it is to be had) to the cooked celery. After th« water has been drained off, thicKen it with a little flour and nutmeg, or add some tomatoes; let it boil up till all are inc < rporated,. and serve hot on toast. A physician (in England, we think) says that he flaa many times put his rheumatic patients upon such a diet and with unfailing success. Within the year we have often been treated with cooked celery, andjflnd it excellent, and if found to be a cure for one of life’s greatest enemies, it will stand pre-eminently above all other roots.

When a finger pricks as though there was a thorn in it, and throbs intolerably when held downward, and yet there is no external sign of mis chief, the probabilities are that a felon is in prospect, says an exchange. Go at once to the butcher’s and procure some of the spinal marrow df a beef creature. Take a piece, say about two inches in length, and having cut it open lengthwise, wrap it around the afflicted finger, covering, of course, with cloth. In a few hours change the piece of marrow for a fresh one, and continue to keep the finger so encased until all pain has ceased and there is no discomfort when the marrow is removed. The finger will look strangely white and porous, but the cure is complete. This remedy ought to become professional. It is vastly better than the surgeon’s knife and more effectual.

The Constitutional Amendments.

Seven important amendments to the Constitution of Indiana have been agreed to by » majority of the mem bers eleeted to each of the two Houses of the General Assemblies of 1877 and 1879, and by an act of the last General Assembly, approved March 10, 1877, these said amendments are to be submitted to the electors of the State of Indiana for ratification or rejection, at an election to be held on the first- Monday in April, 1880. The law providing for the submission of these amendments to the electors of the State enacts that “the secretary of State shall procure ballots of blue paper, on each of which shall be printed the proposed amendments, and below each amendment shall be printed the word ‘Yes’ In one line, and in another line the word ‘Not’ that any qualified elector may vote for or against any amendment by depositing one of said ballots in the ballot box. If he intends to vote for any amendment he shall leave thereunder the word ‘Yes,’ and erase the word ‘No’ by drawing a line across it, or otherwise. If he intends to vote against any amendment, the word ‘Yes’ shall in like manner be stricken out and the word ‘No’left; and if both words are allowed to remain without either of them being so erased, the vote shall not be counted either way. These amendments are designated by numbers, and are numbered 1,2, 3,4, 5, 6 and 9, numbers 7 and 8 having failed to receive a majority of votes of both branches of the last General Assembly. AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend section 2 of article 2 so as to read as follows: Section 2. In all elections not otherwise provided for by this constitution, every male citizen of the United States of the age of 21 years and upward, who shall have resided in the State during the six months, and in the township 60 days, and in the ward or precinct 30 days immediately preceding such election, and every male of foreign birth, of the age of 21 years and upward, who shall have resided in the United States one year, and shall have resided in the State during the six months, and in the township 60 days, and in the ward or precinct 30 days immediately preceding said election, and shall have declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States conformably to the laws of the United States on the subject of naturalization, shall be entitled to vote in the township or precinct where he may reside, if he shall have been duly registered according to law.

AMENDMENT NO 2 simply provides for striking out the words “No negro or mulatto shall have the right of suffrage,” contained in section 5j of the second article of the constitution. AMENDMENT NO. 3. Amend section 14 of the second article to read: Section 14. All general elections shall be.held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, but township elections may be held at such time as may be provided by law. Provided, that the General Assembly may provide by law for the election of all judges courts of general and appellate jurisdiction by an election to be held for such officers only, at which time no other officers shall be voted for; and shall also provide for the registration of all persons entitled to vote.

AMENDMENT NO. 4 amends by striking the word “white” from sections 4 and 5 of article 4, conforming the same to the constitution of the United States. AMENDMENT NO. 5 amends the fourteenth clause of section 22 of article 4 to read as follows: In relation to fees or salaries, ex eept the laws may be so nlade as to grade the compensation of offic- rs in proportion to the population and the necessary services required. AMENDMENT NO. 6. The following amendment is proposed to wit: Amend section 1 of the seventh article to read: Section 1. The judicial power of the State shall be vestec in a supreme court,circuit courts, and such other courts as the General Assembly may establish. The words “such other courts” are substituted for the words, “such inferior courts.” I AMENDMENT NO. 9.

No political or municipal corporation in this State shall ever become indebted, in any ruauuer, or for any purpose, to an amouut in the aggregate exceeding 2 per centum on the value of the taxable property within said corporation, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes, previous to the incurring of such indebtedness, and all bonds or obligations in excess of such amouut given by such corporations shall bo void; provided that in time of war, foreign invasion, or other great public calamity, on petition of a majority of the property-owners, in number aud value, withiu the limits of such corporation, the public authorities, in their discretion, may incur obligations necessary for public protection aud defense, to such amount as may be requested in said petition.
