WHIT[?] IER'S GRAVE.

UN la a Ha*leot«d Cemetery OwrI grown with Bank Weeds. In aooordanon with the simpilottar which had marked his life, the poet "Whittier wished his funeral to be conducted and his last resting place oared |qt. But It would seem as If his grave Was not preserved with that care and •aspect which it deserves. The poet nes In an oid and dilapidated cemetery at Amesbury, Mass., where rank weeds and decaying trunks of scrub trees lying where they have fallen give the place an unkempt and unsightly appearance. Bo care is seemingly taken of the spot by any one. Whittier’s lot Is a long, rectangular one surrounded by a hedge of scrub pines. Seven plain Seadstones occupy the southern half of ie reotangle. Eaoh stone has a name Of one of the poet's family engraved on It with the date of birth and death. Directly In the center of the lot is the poet’s new-made grave, overshadowed t>y a pine tree. The hedge around the grave is neat and orderly and well brimmed save in one spot. And that Is dlreotty in the oenter, just on a line with the new-made grave. Here twigs and branches have been rudely broken off until the symmetry of the hedge is utterly destroyed. The pine tree in the oenter has also < iffered severely. Evidently the relic-. anter had been at work here. Disappointed In his searoh for a tombstone to violate he had wrecked his revenge on the surrounding foliage. The grave is wholly unprorted, and who ever would could violate Even on the day of the poet’s funeral people pressed into the lot and robbed the grave of all the flowers heaped upon It, and It was not until a polioeman was dispatched there that the crowd oould be induced to stop their thieving. Whittier expressly stated before his death that he wished to have no different sort of a monument from that which marked the graves of his relatives. He left a small sum, however, to keep in order that part of the cemetery where he was buried and so very likely, in time, the visitor may notice an Improvement there.

Do You Know?

Do you know that you oan drive nails into hardwood without bending them if you dip them first in lard? That corks warmed In oil make ex- , cellent substitutes for glass stoppers? That a lump of camphor In your clothes press will keep steel ornaments from tarnishing? That stale bread will clean kid gloves? That bread crumbs cleanse silk gowns? That milk, applied onoe a week with a soft doth, freshens and preserves boots and shoes? That gloves can be cleaned at home by rubbing with gasoline? That weak spots in a black silk waist may be strengthened by “sticking” court plaster underneath? That tooth powder is an excellent cleanser for fine filagree jewelry? That a little vaseline, rubbed in once £ day, will keep the hands from chapping? That gum arable and gum tragacanth in equal parts, dissolved in hot water, make the best and most convenient muoilage you can keep in the house?

It Costs to Run Cars.

Dining cars are generally run at a loss aud are attached to trains simply as a a matter of attraction. A steward, four cooks and five waiters are attached to eaoh car. The food costs SI,OOO to $1,500 a month. It costs from $16,000 to $22,000 a year to run one of these cars, exclusive of the wear and tear on the property and incidentals. In some places, and particularly in the South, sleepers are also run at a loss. A sleeping car leaving New York for Chicago Is supplied with 120 sheets, 120 pillow slips aqd 120 towels. The washing is done in different cities, and is given out at the low rate of $1 per 100 pieces. An equipment of linen, whicl lasts a year, is purohased in amounts oi $50,000 worth at a time. One company, for 700 cars. U6es every thirty days, 2,400 dozen cakes of toilet soap, 1,200 dozen boxes of matches, 35 dozen hair brushes, 50 dozen whisks, 60 dozen combs, and a vast number of sponges and feather dusters. Porters receive Item S3O to SSO a month.

Here’s a Tale.

“Do you know?” said Gov. John L. Routt, of Colorado, “that Colorado will have the largest and best display at the World’s Fair? It will. We grow the largest trees, have the richest metals in our mines, and are wonderfully fortunate in the character of our agricultural produots. On. a farm belonging to a friend of mine was grown a pumpkin so large that it could not be removed. We made a wagon road around it and left it there. One night a terrific storm arose—a perfect b *;ard. After it was over my friend drove out to see what had become of twenty hogs that were out in the fields during the storm. All he expected to find was the dead bodies. Imagine his surprise, then, to find them safe and uninjured inside the big pumpkin, growing fat from eating a vegetable primarily intended for the manufacture of pies.”

Sometimes It Worked That Way.

“See here!” yelled the wrathful man, as he took off his hat and showed a head as bald as a campaign lie. “Yes, I see,” said the druggist. 'Did you ever try my unparalleled oapillary renovator?" “That’s just what I did,” answered the bald-headed man in tones of wrath, “and here’s the result” The druggist mused a moment. “It works that way sometimes,” he said. “The hair grows so fast, you see, that it pulls itself out by the roots. Now, if you will only strengthen your scalp by using a few bottles of my aomelstioal scalp balm ” At this point they olinohed.

Where Kid Gloves Are Made.

The center of the kid glove trade has always been at Grenoble, a mountain oity of 56,000 people in France, where even the streets and publio squares sing of gloves, as one of each Is named after Xavier Jouvin, a veteran in the manufacture of fine kid gloves. The’raw skins manufactured here in a year are valued at $4,000,000. When made into 16,000,000 pair of gloves the value Is just doubled, and the making up of the employment to 30;00U people. The Lord Mayor’s Badge. The Lord Mayor qf London’s badge of office contains diamonds to the value pf $600,000, and the temporary owner has to give a bond for It before be is fWen la.

The Democratic Sentinel.

As near as we can learn th e would-be dictators about comprise the gang who, four years ago, nresumed to perform the confirmatory rites designed to land our friend Horace E. James in the Democratic fold. They declared that the Democracy of Mr. J. was on a pav with theirs, which no one wo’d dispute. Ylie result of their as** sumed leadership increased the Republican majority in Jasper county at that time over 200. In a business letter from a friend in Hammond, he stated as it were in parenthesis, “Your two competitors have been here since you were.’' We suppose the errand of one was to explain, if possible, the “caucus meeting. ” The local Democracy here are equally cone erned with Mr. Hammond in being informed with reference to tha affair. Our columns are still open for publication of the proceedings. Bring them along. —■ ■ 1 ■ ■ • ■ 1 4 Twenty-one Howard county populists who went on a bank note for SI,OOO to supolv the county organ, the Industrial Union, witli funds last year have been sued by the bank and will have to walk up to the captain’s office and settle. The HebroD, Porter county, Indiana, G. A. R. post, has petitioned Hon. George Gregg to vote against any appropriation for the proposed encampment at Indianapolis. That post is level.

RENSSELAER lASPER COUNTf. INDIANA, FRIDAY; FEBRUAE 724 1893

The following biographical sketch of our youngest brother we copy from the Daily Oregon Statesman, published at Salem, in that State: J. S. MoEWEN. John Stewart MoEwen, representative from Coos county,was torn in Lewistown, Mifflin chunty, Pennsy vania, on thel4th day of Marcb. 1836. His education was restricted to the public schools and academy of his native town, and in the printing office as an apprentice as early as 1 JIM. He descends from covenanter and revolutionary stock, his great grandfather and grandfather, on the paternal side, being among the early settlers of the oolonies, at d among the first to settle in the Cum berland valley, Pennsylvania, where Carlisle is located. Both participated in the early Indian and French wars of those days, and later, with a grand uncle, in the struggle for independence, the great grandfather. on the staff of General Wolf at the storming of Quebec, and the grandfather as a member of Capt. William Hendrix’s company, in Col. Wm. Thompson’s regiment, where he reoelved a baynet wound bn the Plains of Abraham January 1,187 G, and in which assault the captain was killed and the company made prisoners. • Reliesentative MoEwen married, in 1858, Miss Emily McKenzie, of Perry county. The couple shipped at onoe for Missouri to battle in life. This was the date of the great anti-slavery agitation, the John Brown raids into Missouri and the bolder wars between Missourians and the Kansans. It wa» the time when the Kansas colonist from the East, armed with a Bible and Sharp’s rifle, was pushed forward to contest the ground with his Southern brother, but could rarely pronounce the shibbleth that was to let him pass through, for his diulect enabled him to say “keow” instead of cow, when he he was peremptorily faced about and marched the other way. Mr. MoEwen was first to publish the general orders of Gen. E. B. Frost,"of the Missouri state militia (now a member of congresß from that state), in resistance of John Brown’s raids within that state. Closely following th l se events was the rush to the Pike’s Peak gold fields and the establishment of “pony express” and mail connection with and through that region. Mr. MoEwen was first to inter iew and publish the circumstances attending the rush to Pike’s Paak, notably tho jubilant, well-fed, wellequipped crowd 4 whose forward prairie schooner bore the boastful legend ‘Tike’s Peak or Bust,” but witbin a few weeks thereafter the survivors—for the bones of tome of them, as well as portions of their teams, were left to bleach on the broad plains of the Smoky Hill route in Kansas, returned to civilization, fagged out and penniless, with the sadly impressive inscription of “Busted, by G—." The fall of ’6O brought on the quadrangular political campaign between Lincoln, Douglas,. Bracken; idge and Bell, with its partisan bitterness augmented by that of sectionalism and threatened disunion. The subject of this sketch advocated Douglas, and later, when the question of secession was made an issue, hesitated not, but gave his best, efforts against it Of course, even an overwhelming majority against secession did not defeat the effort of the conspirator* to “dragoon” the state out of the, union, but it gained in momentum and strength and bitterness. In view of the dangers that beset union men from the b o th they were compelled to leave unceremoniously. Mr. McEwen returned wtth h s wife to his father’s home in Pennsylvania where he left her and entered the army among the first threeyears’men, joining tne Forty-ninth Regiment, Pennsylvania Infantry: Hep seed through St. Louis the day Capt. Lyon and b i Bnk P. Blair captured the above menturned Gen. E. B. Frost at Camp Jackson, where he was concentrating his militia for service’forthe confederacy and to take possession of St. Lonis. Mr. McEwen served in Gen. Hancock’s original brigade. and under that “superb” officer participated in the Pfninsular campaign, over the historic fields of Williamsburg and i orktown, and t rough the seven days* fighting, etc. After honorable discharge and an interim at home he re-entered the service for one year as first lieutenant of Company C, Seventy-eighth Pennsylvania Veteran Infantry. This regiment, after the battle of Nashville, Tenn., was detatched from Negley’s division, for guard and Patrol duty, Lieutenant McEwen being detailed for the special duty of chief of patrol on the staff of Gen. John F. Miller, post commander of Nashville.— This position he held from March, 1865, till date of muster out, after the dose of the war, the fall of that year. It was an onerous and responsible position, but was faithfully filled, and he j eceived the oommend&tion of his superior offioers and the «*od oitizens regardless of po itics or l war prejudices. Aseitizensof thjt oity, Southern people but true to their ai.oesteal integrity, he *eckor,« a grand-unole, Robert Huston MoEwen, and the wife, the famous “Hetty McEwen." the grav. headed heroine who stood in the doorway of her home with a rifle and protected her floating flag till Buell entered the oity, while Hood s threatening veterans departed, leaving her “the bravest heart in Tennessee. ”

Our subject |remain Jd awhile at his old no *? e ln Pennsylvania after muster out, and then, restless for adventure, gathered up his wife and three children and started for Texas to grow up with the country.— ihere being no railroads connecting with that state t that date (1869), nor one mile of road in the state, the trip was mads by steamboat down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and by Morgan steamship from New Orleans to Indianola, being just six weeks on the way. A short residence was made at Indianola, then 100 miles abov ■ the coast, a residence of about eight months, from when.-e he went to Austin, the state capital, to get at his printing business again. At Austin he worked a while at the case in the state printing office, but soon joined some of his craft in a co-ope-rative newspaper and job office and' establibhed what is still a leading paper in that state, the ‘Austin Daily Statesman,”— After disposing of his interest in that office in 75 he moved to Fort Worth, then a ▼ 11 age of about 1,200 population and no riilroad. Nowit has 42,000 and is the grand center of twelve railroads. He then, in 1880, moved to GaineßMile, on the Bed river, and was managing editor of the daily and weekly" Hesperian" of that beautiful and thriving city for m re than six years. Owing to failing health of his wife he then moved to San <iose, California, 1887, coming up on the coast to Coos county, in this s ate, in the ®f 1890, when ne took charge of the “Coquille City Herald.” Mr. McEwen bag been in the journalistic harness for ,J, a»y years, through many heated political campaigns and under peculiarly trying I circumstances, but he has never failed tp I decide as to the right, as he saw it, end : essly and earnestly pursue it. The I Herald is well supported and making frjends daily. Be so gained tbeconfii deueu of bis constituency in his brief sojourn in Coos countv as to be the nominee on first ballot of two-thirasof the largest convention ever held in the county, without solicitation on his pert and from

many strangers, most of whom he had never seen. His election, too. was by a majority over both the old party candidates, both of whom were well-known, popular and worthy men As to Representative MoEwen’s work in the legislature, he has been faithful, constantly in attendance on its sittings, answering to roll-oall, voting on all measures of public interest with conscientious scrupulousness. He haß introduced about ten measures during the session, several ol which are of muoh i-> portanoe—house bill No. 237, to prohibit the oatohing of salmon by fish wheels; house bill No. 242, to repeal tax levy for support of the state university; house bill No. 244, to amend the aot to provide for a state board of equalization; bouse bill No 245, to provide for an eight-hour day’s work; house bill No. 246, to regulate conviot labor within the penitentiary; house bill No, 247, to protect employes of corporations, etc., in their rights to nomination topublio office and as citizens; house bill No. 809, to oreate the offioe of state auditor and dispensing with the board of equalization.— He also served on tho standing commit tees ou “pin lio morals” and “federal relations,” as well as the special joint committee on the memorial favoring the Nicaragua o nal, upon which he made a minority report favoring governmental construction, ownership and control. Mr. MoEwen has four ohildren, one baby daughter resting in the “silent oity" at Austin, Texas. One son, Bamuel S., is married] and a resident of Gainesville, Texas, a printer, and now associated in the issuanoe of a daily evening paper, “The News.” His seoondson, Harry W., is also married and a printer in the ‘'Mer. cury” offioe at San Jose, Cal. His oldest daughter, Graoe, is with him at Coquille City, a compositor also, and a music teacher. In faot, Mr. MeEwen has a long and interesting history only a brief mention of which we can make here, but he sums it up in being a teetotaler and prohibitionist on the temperance question; uses tobaooo in no form, and is free from the vices common even among many good citizens. We have not met our brother sinoe the afternoon of the day following the October election, 1858. The above makes a good reooid, excepting the announcement of his membership with the Populist party. •

A bill is before the legislature to prohibit the use of barbed wire for fencing. Mrs. Maria Shead will read tlie past, present and futurt for you, at her residence, on River street, Rensselaer, Ind. FARMS TO RENT! On equitable terms. Drainage goad, Apply at my offioe. B. J. GIFFORD, Kankakee, 111. The information we called fer last week with reference to a ru mored meeting of Belf-eonstiuted leaders to dictate the postmastership for Rensselaer, is not forthcoming. If the proceedings were open, fair and honest, the minutes should be furnished for pul location. Come, gentlemen, the honest voters of the Democrat, c party are anxions to know just how far you dared to pfesume.

The action of a pair of applicants in withdrawing from the list in the interest of another, and the acceptance by three or four others present, together with the unanimous agreement to confer the appointment upor another, must have been a sight to call forth the approval of angelic hosts. The skillful engineering of the scheme by our devoted friend, John lessen, as well as his closing benediction when asked how the proceedings would take with the pub* lie, if they leaked out, should be matters of record. For a ha'f- dozen streaked and strped—politically speaking—in* dividuals to presume to dictate in the face oi the hundreds who in« dorsed our application is very generally regarded as the heighth of presumption!
