Klsapjtami bore a son—he died. The young mothe r, in her love for it, bore the cor]** about, from house to house, seeking «Mn: n&f that should heal it. She was rx mmi mUtl to apply to Buddha, who. ,•!»• was a.*»ured. had some medicine that would !i !p

She sought from inh-m* to hmw, still carrying the dead of son, but everywhere in vsiin IVople jiaid to her. "The living are but the dead are tnan y." She began at length to think. "Alas!" satd she, "I am ii'i the only mother whose son is dead.

Mistakes of Danvood.

Editor NK

W S

Last Sunday night Hcv.

Dnr wood resumed his lectures on "Mis taken of Ingersoll." In this leeture he im-niioned but two prominent "Mistakes'* and the-ie, like the first two. were his own and not lugersoll's. The first "error" wan that made in saying Moses did not write the IVntateueh, or the account of bis own death, lie introduced the authority of Joshua, and other Bible diameter* to prove that Moses wrote a part of Deuteronomy, Also from Josephus and others, but it must l»e remembered. that these authors relied upon the tradition of the Jews for this information, which ix no evidence at all. There is nothing definite concerning this matter, but there is a preponderance of assumptive evidence that he did not write tt. Space forbids a mention of them perhaps ui some future time I may take up this topic, also the assertion that Genesis was or.lv a tradition, written or verbal.

The second "Slistake" was in saying the teachings of the Bible were derogatorv to woman—placing her below man. Mr. Darwootl -said there was nothing in the tlibit* to warrant this assertion, lie went on in a bombastic manner quoting from various commentary writers. We have not space to quote all this, but we will cive what God says about the matter, which is much shorter and more to the point "Tnto the woman lie said. 'I will greatly mult ply thy sorrow and thy conotion, it) -orunv thou shalt bring forth children thy desire shalHe to thv husband, and he shall rub* over thee."'—Gen. iii. Itt The or.lv drawback to this quotation is that Sir, TDarwood insists that it is only tradition.

Some of the friend* of Mr Darwrnnl seem to think he bad sufficient grounds for the statement that Ingersoll denied the existence of Supreme Ruler in IngersoH's assertion that, "A Deity outside of nature exists in nothing. an*l is nothing." But in the next sentence Ingersol!' defines nature. He says: "Nature embrace with infinite arms all nw»uer and all force." Now create a God outside of force and the point is yours. The terms force" and "power" are so nearly «ynonvinous that the idea of an nil powerful Ortd outside of force is ridiculous

The last lecture was, in rar opinion, a complete failure To the minds of those who accept the truth, all that a cleTgrman says it may have lnen sweeping tint to tho^e who are acquainted with both side* of the si»l*jeet it only demonstrated the utter inability of Mr. tHurwood to handle the elephant he has on hts hands. He has presume*! to give some mistakes made by Ingersoll, but so far ha# given nothing thai wonld stand the test with «h«? who have candidly studied both sides of the question. In his last lecture he ha* made an «^Tegl0tt* blunder, as at some future time «h«ll tftteotpt to fullv demonstrate

The "Fathers" of the city met last night in council with all twelve members present, and was looked down upon by his Serene Highness, the Right Honorable Mayor Havens, who from a blast of his trumpet and a sound of his gong, declared the Grand Council in running order. At this juncture we took occasion to make an optical survey of the surroundings, and looking to the east we beheld His Royal Highness seated upon his throne "of wood," wearing his crown of thorns with as much "graee" as if his "breeches" had been uew. Upon his face could be depicted some traces of a very recent sorrow, or it might have been the traces of an extraordinary brain effort, such as rats sometimes exercise after falling into a hole and the hole falling in afterthem, and they were troubled somewhat at the bjul prospect of an immediate release from their very dangerous predicament, t'pon the right of the Throne were to be seen the Royal Chancellor of the Grand Council, and his Deputy. His Grace the Count of Allen, and bir Anderson. On the left, the High Secretaryt, the Duke of Debs, and his assistant the Baron were to be seen. Immediately in front of the Throne were seated in a "half-moon circle" the Council-Peers, and in the center of the "Peered-circle" could be seen the "villianous-looking quill shovor." Upon the "hole" the scene was "strikiu,'" and the crowd of honest yeomen outside the railing and in the rear of the Peers ol the Council, expected something of extraordinary importance and interest to the commonwealth to occur, for upon their honest faces one could .see the heartfelt interests in the business about to take place. His Royal Highness was seen to move, and with a jerk and a start he announced that he would read the committees that he had selected.

Here Mr. McCutcheon arose and said that there

WJIS

a resolution before the

Council in regard to having the committees .selected by ballot. Mr. Havens re-p!:»-d that the announcement of committees was a privileged question and that lie would read them, after which the unfinished business of the body would come un. Mr. McCutcheon then asked the Mayor if the committees he was about to read would be the regular standing committees for the ensuing year. The Mayor replied: No, not neccessarily that the Council could take what action they might see proper in the matter. lie then read the following

COMMITTERS.

Finance—Clutter, Farrington and Reg*n. Elections—Briggs. Grace and Chit ter.

Printing—Farrington, Beauchatnp and Frisz. Fire Department—Harrison. Clutter and Bcauehamp.

Markets—Frisz. Briggs and Harrison. Water—Regan, Frisz and McCutcheon. Cemetery—Harrinon, Clutter and Polk. Hallroads McCutcheon. Regan and Grace.

Sanitary McCutcheon, Grace and Elli*. Judiciary—Briggs, McKeen and Beauchamp.

Fees and Salaries—McKeen, Beauchatnp and Frisz. Account**—Ellis, Clutter and Frisz. .Streets and Bridges—Bcauehamp, Regan and Ellis.

Gas—Harrison, Ellis and McKeen. Taxes—McKeen. Regan and Polk. Wavs and Means—Grace, McCutcheon and tVisz.

Sewers and Wharves—Polk, Farrington and Harrison. Supplies—Regan. Farrington and Grace.

The Mayor then announced that at the adjournment of the last council the question was on the resolution of Mr. McCutcheon in regard to electing the standing committees by ballot. The question was then put to vote with the following result Ayes—Brigtfs. Ellis. Farrington. McCutcheon, Polk. McKeen. Nays— Beauchamp, Clutter, Frisz. Grace, Regan.

When the clerk called Mr. Harrison's name the honest yeomen in the rear were seen to hold their breath, and all swell up with the fond hope of hearing an honest man speak out, and this man spoke as follows:

Mr. Chairman: Before I vote on that question I will .say that I had reason at the last meeting to change my vote. I did not think that the committees were appointed fairly and for that reason I voted wtth the minority of this council to have these committees appointed by l»allot so that everybody would have a fair show, We stand equally divided and for thai reason I desired even* man a right to represent his constituents— they were ray reasons at that time. 8lnce that time I have had reason to change my mind and I now think that the committees are nearer to my satisfaction than before. For that reason I vote "no."

His Royal Highness, the Mayor, took this up instantly and said: "I want it distinctly understood that as far as the minority Is concerned thai I have aot changed these committees in the least, The re pith* K\QUtioa of the minority is exactly the same.

This waa a regular squelcher, and the honest yoeman were seen to grow pale in the face and gape for pore air: the poiih oned dart had been thrown from the throne, and strock and itack into the bald-headed pate of the "Commoneer" Harrison, for he reeled and fell to his ae*t wholly intoxicated—by the influences of

-v**-

the recent Democratic caucus, for he had said his little piece and had received bis public chastisement from the Throne, and sat down at the head of the Committee on Fire. O! ye Godsftucih a sight. The air seemed to grow blue, and the illustrious bribe-taker was compelled to use a large palm-leaf Un, furnished especially by the tax payings public, to thin it so that he might be able to hreaihc.

Mr. Clatter moved to go into the elec tion of a police board, and he placed in nomination Messrs. Frisz, Regan and Beauchamp.

Mr. McCutcheon nominated Messrs. Ellis, Polk and Briggs. After several ballots, and lots of fun, the committee was selected, and is as follows: Beauchamp, Frisz and Regan.

On motion of Mr. Regan the Council proceeded to elect a chiel of fire department, and Mr. Beauchamp nominated V. G- Dickhout the present chief. On the first ballot votes were cast for V. G. Dickhout, Geo. A. Hayward, Arthur McMahan, A. L. Smith, Wm. 1L Burnett and A. M. Buckingham. Four ballots were had, and resulted in the election of V. G. Dickhout, as was intended.

At the close of the jthird ballot for chief of Fire Department, the great bribe taker arose (be likes to rise) and with a lowering front wanted to know what he had done that be was not allowed to vote, (the teller had missed him) and voted blank. Some one in our vicinity remarked that a sufficient cause for not al lowing him to vote was that he had been bribeu for $300.

Mr. McCutcheon moved to elect a board of health. Mr. Harrison nojninated Drs. Roberts, Willien and Gerstrneyer. Mr. McCutcheon nominated Messrs. Young, Scovill and Kester.

The first three nominated were elected and is the same board that served during the past year.

Mr. Clutter moved to elect a chief of police. Mr. Havens informed him that the Council elects the board and the members select a man for chief and so report to the Council which affirms or rejects the selection.

Dr. Geo. W. Crapo was elected city physician and Peter Maehler was retained as market master.

For board of public improvements Mr. Beauchamp caused considerable merriment bv nominating three Republicans, Ellis, Farrington and Briggs. The Republican side not to be outdone in generosity and chivalry promptly came to the scratch by Mr. McCutcheon nominating three Democrats, Grace, Regan anu Beauchamp.

The vote resulted in a tie, and to the utter amazement of all, and with a cry from the Democratic side of the House that there must have been unfair means used the Mayor was heard to record his vote with the Republicans and thus recording for the first time in his short and eventful life, a vote for the 9ide of justice, and right, and it was whispered by some indiscrete and meddlesome person that His Holy Highness had been bribed, but as he voted with the Republicans we can vouch for the fact that he received no money but there is a probable cause to believe that the Republican peers agreed to use their best endeavors to try to guide him in the way in which he should go.

The following resolution was introduced by Councilman Regan and carried unanimously:

Be it resolved by the Common Council of Torre Haute That the Mavor appoint a Councilman from each of the wards who, with the Clerk anil Assessor, shall act as a Roard of Equalization for said citv, and that all assessment lists be refer red to said boiml, and that notice of the meetintr be published for two weeks in the Daily Jfcrjrre*# and Gautte. [It will be observed here that the little saloon keener, who violates the law every day of his life as well as even the Lord's tlay, shows his want of love fortheNjiws, ami he takes this mode of attempting to get even with the NEWS for showing up the ring of which he was a prominent member. He may starve us on bad whuky, but meat he has none!—En.]

The petitions that were before the preceding Council were read again ami referred. as the proceedings before were irregular, from the fact that no committees had been appoint«d.

Bids were opened for the improvement of an alley between Eagle and Chestnut streets. The contract was awarded to Patrick McCabc at eighty centa per lineal foot.

J. E. Voris received the contract for improving an alley between Poplar and Oak steeds and between Twelfth and Thirteenth at thirty-five cents per foot.

Also

for an allev from Walnut to Poplar street between Fourth and Fifth at fiftytwo cents per foot.

An appropriation of twenty-five dollars was allowed the cemetery committee to arrange that place in proper order for Decoration Dav.

Council adjourned. The Republican members to their bright and happy homes and most of the Democrats to "Pan" Regan's saloon, where they will swill in bad whisky and talk of treason, rings, cliques, etc.. etc.

Now is the time to borrow a wheelbarrow, rake, hoe, spade anrl whatever else you may want through the summei soon as you can, so that the owners will forget to whom thev were lent. A man who buys a wheelbarrow when he can borrow one will never be chief financier of a life insurance company.
