Yeoman, of Goodhuid; Dawson Smith,Straight & Willey, of Fowler, and Judge Daily, of Oxford, are of the foreign attorneys attending court this week.

Willows Not Exempt.

In answer to a eoßinuiiiication, the Attcr,rioy General recently gave the following opinion: Dear Win—lour favor of yesterday received. The decision of ilie stipe rior court, of Marion county, holding that the attempted exemption of wid ovvs, etc., from taxation on S6OO of •property under certain circumstances is unconstitutional, is so manifestly right tine I think the taxes should be collected without regard to (ho provisions of section 7 of the tax and assessment law of 1872. Respectfully, W. W. Woollen, Attorney General. Referring to the-utility of the negro exodus to the Republican party in Indian, the Chicago Tribune says: * * • * * * ‘*New comers vote in Indiana upon six months’residence in the Wlale. These thousands darkies will all be voters n -xt fail. They have mostly settled in the Eighth district, which the Democrats carried last year for congressman by 1,010 majority, though the Republicans carried it in iolG, electing Hunter by 1,100 majority. What Voorlmes & Co. fear is, that, this black Republican ke iNFOitCKiiENT of bone and muscle will redeem the Eighth district next fall and turn the balance in several counties for legislators, who elect, a senator in place of McDonald, whose teym expires March i, 1881. That h wane the shoe pinches. The stream of colored laborers from North Carolina, "however, continues to pour into Indiana, Dan Voorhees’ protests to the the contrary, notwithstanding a, ■■ all who arrive previous to next May will be entitled to vote next fall in Indiana, which is thus gradually ceasing to be a doubtful State.” And the Rensselaer Republican co d with equal candor and honesty verify the above statement of rfie Chicago Tribune, yet through correct forebodings that the truth would not pan out in the interest of its party, it seeks to impress its readers with the idea that only a few negroes are emigrating into the State, and that they are coming of their own accord. It know* better.

R. E. Spencer & Co. have received anothor invoice of fresh candies. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Clifton’s little three year old daughter. Zuleina, died this morningabout 4. o’clock of diphtheria. The funetal will take place this afternoon at 4 o’clock. Fendio desires all indebted to him to call and make payment at an early day and save costs.

Shooting a Bear and Kicking a Panther.

er[Whitehall/rimes.] “Talk about your narrer ’scapes," said Czardme, “I must tell you ’oout the one I had. Ten years ago last winter I went out into the woods where bear aud panthers was thicker than gum chewex's in a female academy. I soon got my eyes onto a big noblelook in bear. My gun had been loaded wnh a bigger charge of novvder than usual. I just pulled ahead onto that bear and crack w ent the rifle aud over went the bear, while my gun just give one powerful kick which laid me o u flat on the‘ground. But the best of the thing was this: I didn’t see a big panther which was on a bluff behind me, and as 1 shot the cuss jumped for me, only to meet the butt of my gun which was going his way, and Uae ugly varmint fell dead with his skull crushed m by the guu stock.”

MoCABE VS- ORTH.

Thomas Meagher, who lives near Colfax, lad., who was in the city last week, says that a lot of men were taken from Indianapolis into Montgomery county, in the fall of 1878, for the ostensible purpose of working on gravel roads, but were all voted for Orili aud against McCabe. A Republican neighbor of Mr. Meagher swore in several of the votes, and becoming somewhat fearful that he might be prosecuted, Meagher $lO to swear in three more. The evidence is overwhelming that Mr. McCabe was elected to tile seat in Congress which Mr Orth now occupies. Indianapolis (Sentinel. - The Harrisburg Patriot says occasionally an “old line Whig” like Toombs or the descendant of an ancient Federalist emerges in the South to express the opinion than republi can government in this country is a failure. But im such sentiment flnds encouragement among the Democracy of the South The Washington Post savs that interviews with disabled soldiers in the voiuuteer homes show a decided aversion to Grant as a candidate. The fact that. President. Grant, who approved tije Gill doubling his own saint y, prepared a veto to be hurled at the ( fluidization of bounties bill is not forgotten by the veteraus. Senator elect. Gorman, of Maryland, began life as a page in the United States Senate, by appointment of Stephen A. Douglas, and rose to be postmaster of that body. During the war he was a Republican, but went oit of that party under Andrew Johnson The New York Sun states it accurately when it says Grant is “the candidat of all the u <o ivicted plum - er-r« and default rs.” But this fact gives him a pretty strong backing in the Republican party, had he nothing else to rely upon.

Only a Hask.

Tom Darcey, yet a youngfman, had grown to be a very b*d one. At heart he might bare been all right, if his head and hits will had only been all rights but these being wrong, the whole machine was going to the bad very fast, though there were times when the heart fMt something of its old truthful yearning?. Tom bad loot his place as foreman in the great machine shop, and what money be now earned came from odd jobs of tink aring which he was able to do, here and there at private houses; for Tom was a genius as well as a mechanic, and when his head was steady enough, he could me- d a cl< c , or clean a watch, as well aa he could setup and regulate a steam engine—and this latter he could do bett r than anv other man ever employed by Scott Falls Mannr'acturingCorapanv. One day Tom had a job to mend a broken mowing machine and reaper, for which he received five dollars, and on the following morning he started out for his old haunt—the village tavern. He knew his wife sadly needed the mnne , and that his two little children were in absolute suffering from want of clothing, and iliat morning he held a debate with ttie better part of himself; but the better part bad become very weak and'shaky, and the domon of appetite carried the dav, 8o a wav to the tavern Tom w -nt, where for two or three hours, he fed th’e exhilarating effects of the a’coholic draught, and fancied himself happy, as he could sing and laatrh: but as usual, stupefaction follower), and the man died out, He drank while ue could stand and then lav down in a comer, where *bis companions left hitn. •

It was late at night, almost midnight, when the landlord's wife came into the bar-room to see what kept her husband up and she quickly saw Tom. “Peter,” said she, not in a pleasant mood, “why don’t you send that mis Table Tom Darcey home? He’s been hanging about here long enough.” Tom’s stupefaction was not sound sleep. The dead coma had left the brain, and the calling of his name had suing his senses to keen attention He had an insane love lor rum, but did not love the landlord. In other years Peter Tindar and himself had loved and wooed the sweet maiden—Ellen Goss —and he won her, leaving Peter to take up with the vinegary spinster who had bought him the tavern, and he knew that lately the tapster had gloated over the misery of the woman who had once discarded him. “Whj don’t you send him home?”demanded Mrs. Tiuaar, with an Impatient stamp of her oot. “Hush. Betsy! He’s got money. Let him be, and lie’ll be sure to spend it before he goes home. I’ll have the kernel ot the nut, and his wife may haye the husk.”

President.

With a sniff and a snap Betsy turned away, and shortly afterward Tom Darcy lifted himself upon his elbow. “All, Tom, are you awake?” “Yes ” “Then rouse up aud have a warm glass.” Tom got upon his feet and steadied himself. “No, Peter, I won’t drink anymore to-Dight.” “It won’t hurt you, Tom—just a g]a<s.” “I know it won’t,” said Tom, buttoning up ins coat bv tlie only solitary button left. “I know it won’t.” And wiiti tliis he went out into the chill air of night. When he got away from the shadow of the tavern he stopped and looked op at tho stars, and -then he look-* ed upon the earth. ‘iAye,” he muttered, grinding Ins heel in the gravel. “Peter Tindar is taking the kernel and leaving poor Ellen the husk, and I am helping him <lo it. I»m robbing my wife of joy, robbing mv children of honor and comfort, robbing myself of love and life—just that Peter Tindar may have the kernal and Ellen the husk! Weil see ” It was a revelation to the man. The tavern keepar’s brief speech, meant n >t for his ears, had come upon his senses as fell tlie voice of the Risen One upon Saul of Tarsus “We’ll see,” he continued, setting his foot firm!v on the ground , and then he wended his way homeward. On tlie following morning he said to his wife.

“Ellen, have you any coffee in the house ?” “Yes, Tom,” She did not tell.him that her sister had given it to her. She was glad to hear him ask for coffee instead of the old, old cider. “I wish you would make a cup, go id and strong.’ 7 There was really music, in Tom’s voice, and the wife set about the work with a strange flutter in her heart.. Tom d- snk two cups of the strong, fragrant coffee, and then weut out —went out with a resolute step, and walked straight to the munufaclory, where he tourd Mr Scott in the office “Mr. Scott. I want to learn my trade over again.” “Eh Tom! what do you mean? ’ “I mean that its Tom Darcev come hack to Ihc old place, asking forgiveness for the past, ’ and hoping to do better in the future! ‘Tom!’ cried the manufacturer, starting forward and grasping his hand, are you in earnest? Is it really the old Tom?’ ‘lt’s what’s left of him, sir, and we’ll have him whole and strong very soon if you’ll only set him at work.’ ‘Work! Aye, Tom, and bless you. too! There is uq engine to be B<‘t up and tested to.day. Come with me.’ Toni’s hands were weak and unsteady, but his brain was clear, and under h is skillful supervision the engine was set up and tested, nut it was not perfect.— There were mistakes which tie had to correct, and it was late iu the evening when the work was completed. ‘How is it now, Tom?' asked Mr Scoit, as? he came into the testing house and found the workmen ready to depart. ‘cflie’s all right, sir. You may gi e your warrant wilhout fear.’ ‘Goi bless you, Tom! You don’t know how like sweet music the old voice sounds. Will you take vourplace again?’ ‘Wait till Monday morning, sir. If you offer it. to me then, I will take it.’ At the little cottage Ellen Darcy’s fluttering heart was sinking. That morning, after Tom was gone, she had found a two-dollar bill in her cotfee cup. She knew that lie left it* for her. She had been out and bought tea and sugar, and flour and butter, and a bit bf tender steak and all day long a ray of lignt had been dancing and skimming befote Sier—a ray from the blessed light of other days. With prayer aud hope she set out the tea-tabie and waited, but the sun went down aud no Tom came. Eight o’clock came—and almosr nine. Qh, was it but a false glimmer after all?

Hark! The old step; strong, eager for home. Yes, it was Tolu, with the old grime upon Ins hands, and the odor ot oil upon his garments. ‘I have kept you waiting, Ellen.’ ‘Tom!’ ‘I didn’t mean to but the work hung on,’ ‘Tom, Tom You have been to the old shop.’ ' ‘Yes, and I’m to have the aid place, and—’ *Oh, Tom.’ And sue threw her arms around his neck and covered his face with kisses. ‘Ellen, darling, wait a little, and you shall have the old Tom back again*’ ‘Oh, Tom. I’ve got him dow —bless him, bless him. My own Tom. My husband, uiy darling.’ And then Tom Darcey realized the full power and blessing of woman’s lore. It was a banquet of the gods all restored with the blight angels of peace and love and j‘>y spreading their wings over the boaras. On the following Monday morniDg, Tom Darsey assumed his place at the head of the great machine shop, and thoss who thoroughly kuew him had no fear of his going back to the slough and joylessness. A few days later Tom met Peter Sindar on tfye street.

‘Eh, Tom, old boy, wbat’s up?’ •I am up—right side up.’ ‘Yes—l see. Hut I hope you haven’t forsaken us, Tom.’ ‘I have forsaken only the evil you have in store, Peter. The fact is, 1 concluded my wife and little onse had fed on husks Jong enough, ana If there wm a kernel left in my heart, or in my manhood, they should have it.’ ‘Al*. you heard what I said to my wife that night.’ ‘Yes. Peter; and I shall be grateful to you for it as long as I live. My remembrance of you will always be relieved by’ that tinge of warmth aod brightness.’

A Relic of Benjamin Franklin

(West Chester (Penr.) Republican,! There hangs iu the parlor of Abram Hall, South Church street, an interesting relic of the days of the Revolution. It is a letter written by Benjamiu Franklin to a member of the English Parliament, and is constructed in a style characteristic of that great champion of liberty and independence. Mr. Hall ciyne in possession of the manuscript in 1873, while he kept store in Wildstown, Merritt Palmer, an employe, finding it among some discarded papers. Following is a copy of the interesting document: Philadelphia, July 5,1775. Mr. Strahan—You are a member of Parliament, and one of that majority which has doomed my country to destruction. You have began to burn our towns and murder oui people. Look upon your hands. They are stained with the blood of your relations. You and I were long friends. You ate now my enemy, and I am

yours.

The tallest men of whom re ord ts made were a German named Hans Bar and a Hungarian soldier, name not given, who lived several centuries ago, each of them being eleven feet high;their weight is not known. The heaviest man of whom record is made was Miles Dardon, the Tennessee giant. who was seven and one-half feet high and weighed over 1,000 pounds; he died in 1857. Daniel Lambert, the English “mass of flesh,” was five feet and eleven inches in height, and weighed 738 pounds. The dramatic editor of a French paper had occasion recently to criti cise severely the performance of a somewhat popular actress. Shortly afterward the lover of the young lqd,y met the journalist in the theater, and presented him with a package of goose quills. “This, sir,” said he, “is apresent from MissX.” “What!” exclaimed the critic, “did she tear all these out of you herself? How you must have suffered!”

A farm hand near Lebanon, Pa., was hired to plow a ten-acre field. His boss, wishing to have him plow a straight. furrow, directed his attention to a cow grazing in an adjoining field, and told him to drive directly towai’d her. On his return, half an hour later, he found the cow had left her Diace and was walking about, while the hired man, in pursuit of her, was drawing a zig-zag furrow all over the field. The following prescription for the treatment of “diphtheric sore throat” emanates from a New York physician, ami has been “used with happy effects in ths most obstinate cases Sulphate of quinia, 10 grains. Dilute muriatic acid, 90 minims. Chlorate of potassium, 1 drachm. Mix with gum sylup sufficient to make in all two ounees Dose, a teaspoonful every hour. It the patient needs stiinu lant give good rye whisky. When we read that nearly all the im portant railroad companies in the North west have adopted “paper” car wheels, one is struck with amazement. This idea of making a wheel from materia! which, of ell others, would seemingly be the most uufit, sounds like a burlesque, and yet practical experiment has demonstrated that paper car wheels are not only more durable hut safer than those made of iron. “Why dul General Washington cross the Delaware on the ice during the storm of an awtul night? 1 ’ asked a teacher of her young class iu history. “I reckon,” piped a small voice in answer, “it was because he wanted to get on the other side.” The wife of fioveruor Yan Zandt,, of Rhode Island who barely escaped the Russian mission, is a daughter of Albert G. Greene, whose name is widely known as the author of “Oil Grimes is Dead.”

A celebrated beauty in the time of Napoleon Bonaparte ( Mme. Louise Lu cerne, has just reached her one hundredth year. She was the friend aud rival in beauty of Mme. Becamier. A little fellow was sitting under a window, intently fallowing the copy on Ids slate, wnen a cloud suddenly obscured the sun. Starting up with a frown he ex claimed, “Dere now! who bloweddatsun outl” It is very difficult to rind fault with a dear little turce-year-old who buries his head under ike elotnes and sings, “Now I lay me down to sleep. Pop goes the weasel.” An eminent political economist has grave fears that the gradual extinction of the cannibal races is owing to the reckless aud inju dons aclußeration of the missionaries. Capt. Thomas Simpson, of Burnet, Texas, keeps the remains of his wile, recently deoeased, in his parlor in an elegant metallic coffin. A woman’s head is turned by thejou*side of a bonnet —a man’s by wliat is inside of it.

A. WINTER TOUR.

Embracing a Trip to St. Louis, thro’ the Sunny South, a Gulf Ride, and Home via Texas, Arkansas, or In dian Territory. The Winter is the season during which business men, and especially farmers, can best afford to leave the wareroom or the farm tor a journey in search of recreation and pleasure, the chief drawback being the inauspicious condition ol the weather for such a trip north ol Mason and Dixon’s line between the months of October and May. This objection is overcome in the following tour arranged for the benefit of health and pleasure-seekers, via PanHaudle Route and connections, through Mississippi and Louisiana to New Oicans; by Gulf steamer to Galvesion, Texas, returning to St. Louis and home yia Pan Handle Route and connections Tickets are first-class, and good to return until June Ist 1880. A detour may be made from Houston to the oil Span* isfi winter resort of San Antonio. Rate for round trip will be from fifty to seveuty-five dollars, according to starting point.

The way to induce a melancholy woman to laugh. is to have her front te£tb filled with gold-- Afler that nothing can stopbor from grinning half the time. St. Louis girls say that those of Chi cago never have shoes that arc mates, because of the difficulty of finding two sides of leather exactly alike. “The worst dose of ‘hop-bitters’ I ever had,” said the young man. “was the other night when I teak a giil to a hop, and some oiher fellow danced with her every set,”

1830 1880 Indiana Weekly STATE SENTINEL. Enlarged, Improved. SI.OO Per Annum THE PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE PROSPECTUS FOR 18SO. The coining presidential year promise* to be the most eventful and thrilling in a political sense tbative have ever witnessed, and t wili determine questions of the moat vital importance 10 every citizen of the State and nation. It is not improbable—indeed it is almost certain that, upon the determination of these questions, will depend the perpetuity of our present system of free government. Tneee questions will be thoroughly dismissed during the present session of Congress. The Sentinel has arranged for a "first class, experienced, special correspondent at Washington, and m addition to giving a true account of ail the mineral proceedings in that body, will give ..the leading speeches of our most prominent »tau!« men, and without depriving our pationsof the usual amount of reading matter. Tho Sentinel will hereafter contain supplement,hnnkim' in all Sixrr Columns of composition. In a word, it is the purposed The Sentinel;as a steadfast watchman of public intelii once, to do its whole duty in affording information to its sub scribe rs upon all l Uese topics of such vast moment. As iu '7U so in ‘.Bolndiana will be called upon to take a first position in the front of the great con test, and upon the success or failure of the great and gallant Democracy of our State will depend the fate oi issues the most portentous ever submitted to the arbitrament oi a tree people. V\e shall also specially call attention, from day today, as occasion may require, to an entirely Nkw I'IiASK iu tlie politics of our Slate—we mean the forced emigration for temporary partizan purposes of pauper negroes from the South into Indiana. The malingers and leaders of the Republican party, in our State and at Washington, are now engaged in this nefarious work, and are attempting by every means in their power to promote its advancement. They have failed, utterly tailed to convince our people of the correctness of their political principles, by reason or argument; their appeals to hatred and prejudice have fallen harmless; their lavish and corrupt expenditures of public and private moneys have proved wholly liitile. They propose now by an Airican invasion ot worse than a vandal, ho. tie of beggars and mendicants to override the voice of the peopleof the Slate, and to drown the Democratic majority. The last resort, the forlorn hope, the assaulting party the picket assaultingco.ps of Republicanism in Indiana is thus made up—not from lbs Hunters, Harrisons, Heilmans, or Shacklefords of the Slate; mitfrom the intelligence or ability'ol that party, but is composed of a motley, parti colored gang wretched field negroes from ine South. The lrotn and scum of this worthless importation are made use of lo destroy the free franchise of resident citizens, and to tax our means of home iabor and domestic subsistence for the support of the political tenets of a defeated lection. The sleepless Seuiide!, upon the heights of popular rights and popular liberty, predicts that this movement will also be a failure. With respect to this before unheard of method of manufacturing-party majorities in a State, -.vs shall at all times ive the latest and most reliable intelligence. The American Democracy, the Federal onion, the rights ol a tePeople and the Stales, one and inseparable—now and forever. Tlie merits of The Sentinel as a geneiat newspaper are so well known among the farmers of this State, especially those of the Democratic persuasion, tha* commendation of it is considered superfluous We will ado, however, that the man ageuient has arranged and fully determined that uopaper shall furnish so great'practical value to its , airons for tiie money. In itsnews, its editorial, its literary and miscellany—in a word, in its general reading it shall not be surpassed by nnv paper circulated in the State. It will be particularly adapted to the family circle. We do not believe that any reading, thinking man ip the Stato can afford to do without the Weekly Sentinel at the small cost at which it is furnished.
