Thanks! Fur the benefit of Mr. Harris, who has so willingly rushed into print, we would say that he cannot relieve his friends of the Republican a particle. His letters do not “consist” vri.h Lis declarations to his personal friends curing his canvass for the ip ruination, and after the primary w i hold, we do not wish to be harsh w 'll Mr. H. An opportunity Is offered him to retire from the controversy. The next thing in order is for the “Secretary of the Republican Central Committee” to deny that he called “Billev” to the door, when the returns w i' coming in from the '‘primary” and in doleful, woesbegono accents announced “that Newton township has beat us”—the ring. Newton township voted for Sigler and Fergison. Were tnese men included in the declaration of forfeiture of support? Du tell!

State Superintendent— Prof. D. D. Luke, of Ligonier, is a candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruction. As an instructor and organiser Prof. Luke has a reputation excelled by none other, and would fill the office of Superintendent with the highest credit to the party and the State. He has been a lifelong Democrat, always working for the interest of the party as well in adversitp as in prosperity.—Fort Wayne Journal. “The majority of the Republicans of Jasper county said they wanted him for the office of Auditor.”—“Old Man,” of the Republican. bless your soul, “old man,” the same cranky notion was entertained by Mr. Robinson and the “ring” two years ago in connection with the office of county treasurer. But wasn’t he and the “ring” mad when it was discovered the convention was not so “inspired,” and he would have to defer his departure to the “Lordy”? A hammock should be suspended wkero the head will always be higher than the feet, and much of the comfort. of ' ue who uses it depends upon the proper observance of this fact. The hook which supports the head end should be about six feet from the ground; that at the foot end three and one-half feet. Thf’rope at the head end should be fastened to the hook about a foot from the hammock, while at the foot the rope should be about four arid one-half feet long. This gives perfect freedom for swinging the lower part of the body, while the head moves but little. If these simple rules are observed much comfort can be found in a hammock. The Senior of the Republican starts out this week with a column and a half plea, begging to “Give the Old Mvu a chance,* but composed as it is of astertions, denials, etc., etc., without truth and honesty to back them, “ the Old Man” makes a very bungling job of it. Our correspondents are men of high standing in the community. better and much longer known to the people of Jasper county than either the “Old Man” of the Republican, or his co-worker. And after taking the column and a half giving it due consideration, and comparing the political standing, honesty, truthfulness, etc., of “the Old Man” and his chum, (who seems to have Over-acted his part.) with that of “A Republican,” and a “Marion Township Republican,” it is our opinion that they—“the Old Man” and his “pard”—have failed to make out a case, and jungment is given against them. “Let it be so recorded.”

Delegates to State Convention will be carried over t-be L., N. A. & C. at exclusion rates. The P- C. & St. L. will charge 2 cents per mile. Fraud Hayes has been mentioned in connection with the radical congressional nomination to bo made at Fremont. Ohio, next month. Dr. S. W. Ritchey was nominated fsr Representative at the joint Con veation held at Goodlac.d yesterday, by the Greenbacks. Mr. Ingersoi, of Newton county, was nominated for Senator. The Republican this week is very ‘•trorigly in favor of Gilman for Representative. A plan is on foot to throw overboard both Maxwell and Travis and secure "the nomination of a certain Rensselaer attorney for Senator- ♦ T Tne Soldiers’ Home, established by the Grand Army of tne Republic, on the top of Powder Horn Hill, in Chelsea. Massachusetts, with accommodations for 150 men, was epened Tuesday, under the management of exAdjutant General Cunninguam. One of the assistant secretaries of the treasury attended the funeral of Ralph W. Emerson, going, of course, in his personal not in his official character, for the treasury hadn’t anything more to do with the burial of Emerson than Emerson has had with the free use of tne treasury now being made in the name of congiessionaj appropriations. But the assistant secretary retnrned a bill for S6O for his expenses, and it was paid from the contingent fund of the treasury, that fund with which the boys made so (ice in the good days of Honest John SherraanMr. Talmage is not always eccentric and hyperbolical. On Sunday last, after using the well known text from Isaiah concerning the extravagance of the women of Jerusalem in his day, Mr. Talmage preached a wholesome sermon upon the extravagance in modern society. It was not an assault upon the rich. Their expenditure is legitimate and desirable. It furnishes employment and puts money in circulation. His condemnation was of those who without sufficient means endeavor to make a dashing display, and are dishonest, because they know to a certainty they are de frau ling the laborer and the merchant in order to cater to their own van? ity. Their life is one long existence under false pretenses; they are buried with much parade at the expense of iheir friends or tbe __undertaker, aDd they leave no means of subsistence to the children whom they have taught their own extravagant and genteel dishonest ways. Mr. Talmage aptly quoted John Randolph, who once proclaimed in Congress that, he had found the philosopher’s stone, —“Pay as you gp,”—and delivered on the whole a satisfactory and instructive discourse against the folly of living, not only beyond but even up to the uttermost point of one’s income. Tbe number of people who do this is constantly increasing. A voice of warning from other moral teachers might possibly giye some of them pause.—Chicago Times.

What means had we of knowing that the communication purporting to have been written by Mr. Harris was not correctly inserted ? If tb p compositor on that pap r made an innocent blunder, how were we to know it, pray? It may be possible that the letter was presented to Mr. H, In Rensselaer, and here signed by him. What does it amount to, anyhow? Mr. H. was not blamed with being the author ts the article signed by “A Republican,” except by one person, and he did it to draw wool over the eyes of some, and at the same time to more surely commit Mr. H. to the support of the ticket, C. D. Nowels is erecting a handsome office north east of depot. John Chamberlain builder. Rev. B. F.

Luke, of Noble County, candidate for the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, subject to decision of the Democratic State Convention, gave us a brief call yesterday, The Prof is an accomplished scholar and gentleman, and would maKe an efficient official. In the line of his advancement in practical education the negro is becoming a financier. A colored elder rose at a camp-meeting on Staten island, and applied the science of economy in this exposition: “We‘ve got expenses here, and need money to pay ’em, If I didn't pay ’em I’m afraid the sheriff wouldn’t let me go away when we’re done. I collected 53 cents this morning, but i want $lO now. I know thre’s money in this tent, and we want some of it. Don’t give us any pennies. I’ve known men could shut their eyes and tell a penny from a dime by feeling. Don’t do that with me. Put your hand in your pocket, and if it hits a nickel let it come. If it hits a dime or a quarter, Jet it come. And if it happens to touch one of dem big dollars, let it come. Now, I’m going around with a plate, and Joe Titus is going around with another. Don’t anybody let us pass e’m.” It is not encouraging to relate that tho audience, which had come for religion, didn’t care about finance, and rapidly diminished while the elder and Mr. Titus stepped from the platform. Still, some remained to pay, and tbe practical but enthusiastic elder shouted across to Mr 1 Titus: “Joe, I’m getting nothing but nickels. Thank God! nobody’s got any pennies-” This was a mistake. Everybody on Mr. Titus’ side had pennies, and “the total,” as the elder would not have said, was $3. A full stock of Harps, Aecordeons> Violins, Violin Strings, Bows, and Bridges at Kannal’s.
