RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA. FRIDAY: JANUARY 22 1886.

Fooled on the Faith Cure.

Indianapolis, Jan. 18.— Mrs Charles Wilgus and Mrs. John Moore, respectable ladies of this city, whose husbands are well-to-do business men, have had an experience as subjects of a “faith cure” which possessed some remarkable f atures. Both have been under medical treatment for some time, and, though not confined to bed, have suffered much from disease. A newly made acquaintance, a lady, who became awai-e of their ill-health, persuaded them to try a “faith cure” which had once, she said, restored her to health and with which she was familiar. So, unknown to their husbands, Mrs. Wilgus and Mrs. Moore engaged their friend to assist them in the matter. She . required them to give her a number of rings, and these she apparently placed between the leaves of the family Bible, which was then wrapped with a handkerchief and securely tied with a cord. Next she too k from the two ladies SSO in bills, and these she placed in small rolls, wrapped them with red yarn and tossed them into a closet. Then a cake containing nine kinds of fruit was baked, and this was to be buried at the roots of , a tree When all this was done she led in prayer, and enjoined upon Mrs. Wilgus and Mrs. Moore the necessity of not touching the Bibla or the balls of yarn till nine days bad elapsed. The ladies’ curiosity got the better of them to-day, and they peeped •into the Bible, only to find some black buttons instead of the gold rings, and an examination§of the balls showed that there was no moey in them. They then went to the house of the woman and found that she had left the cit.. It is possible th ;t she is starching the forests to find a tree benenth which to bury the cake; but the ladies think they were swindled. At any rate they have concluded to take Paul’s advice and ask their husbands hereafter when they want to know anything.—Chit ago Herald

Eighteen hundred years ago the Chinese made paper from fibrous matter reduced to a pulp. Now each province makes its own peculiar variety. The celebrated Chinese rice paper, that so resembles woolen and silk fabrics, and on •which are painted quaint birds and flowers, is manufactured from compressed pith, which is cut spirally by a keen knife into thin slices six inc -s wide and twice as long.— Funeral paper,-or paper imitations of earthly things which they desire to bestow on departed friends, are burned over their graves.— T iey use prper window frames, paper sliding doors, and paper visiting cards a yard long. It is related that when a distinguished representative of the British Government visited Pekin several servants brought him a huge roll, which, wh n spread out on the floor, proved to be the visittng card of the Emperor.

Misdirected Fearlessness.

Elkhart Beyiew: Some rural editors are always boasting that they are fearless in the exposure of wrong, and the ventilation of what they call evil. Does it ever occur to sucb that in a community, ss in a family, there are some slips of morals that had better be hidden from publiq gaze? The newspaper which always reports the vices and the failures and shortcomings of the public, for which it is printed, is an evil in the community.— The gossiping woman or the censorious man who, in private life, scatters scandal, or rebukes shortcomings, are looked upon as dangerous and hurtful. Why is a newspaper less so when it follows the same course? Fearlessness does not consist in publishing the little vanities of people, or spreading abroad their foibles, or scattering gossip, bat In defending right, whether in morals or in public policy, in condemning wrong, in bail dins ap chsraoUr, not in tearing It down, in spreading good report not evil, in speaking in kindness as well as in rebuke.

is not evidence of courage to attack indiscriminately for the gratification of revenge. It is more often the evidence of the worst form of cowardice.

A. & C., who was disabled in a wreck near Bensselaer, on the 9th day of last February, from which he was laid up six weeks, was treated to a pleasant surprise on Christmas day, when he received a check for $135, with the compliments of John B. Carson and W. R. Woodard. The company was under no obligation to reimburse Mr. Catherwood for the loss of time, in consequence he feels highly complimented at the way the head officers of the road remembered him—Michigan City Dispatch.

To the many kind and generous friends, both far aud near, who have done so much to bring light and comfort into this midnight of sorrow, I desire in behalf of myself and my dear children, to express the deepest gratitude of our hearts. For every sweet word of sympathy, spoken or written; for every generous thought aud deed; for every kind service so delicately ten dered and so nobly given; and for every precious word of loving appreciation concerning him, who was the very life of our life, and the stay and joy of our hearts and home, may heaven send abundant and abiding reward. Ever most gratefully, Effie M. Fairchild. DeMotte, Jan., 11, 1886. Silver Coinage in Germany. London. — The agitation in favor of a bimetallic standard of currency in Germany has attained great proportions. A committee of the German Farmers’ Congress has already handed to Chancellor Bismarck and to the reichistag 200 petitions from farmers’ and peasants’ unions demanding the restoration of silver. The language of the petitioners is as strong as co’d be used by Congressman Bland or Senator Allison. They protest against the charge tha* bimetalism means injustice to creditors, and they declare that, on the other hand, the enfc rcement of the monometall.c gold standard is grossly unjust to debtors, because it makes money dear. Customs duties on grain will not, they declare, suffice to save German agriculture, which is threatened with ruin unless it is rescued by silver. The petitions solemnly avow that Germany cannot afford to wait upon England in the matter, but act with bimetallic states anly, and that silver must be restored. Prince Bismarck has been much impressed by the extent of the demonstration in favor of silver, and is anxiously considering his action. The farmers declare that any damage which cap poss’blv be done to commerce or the banks by a return to the double standard would be very trivial in comparison to the absolute ruin wh?ch is menacing German agriculture. ■■lll. ■■■- H.l—IM Ex-Sheriff John W. Powell has leased the Halloran Jjivery and Feed Stables, and respectfslly solicits a liberal share of the public patronage.
