IT is said that Bob Ingersoll will entertain the Chicago Convention to-morrow with his lecture on Hell.

TUB Millers' Exposition at Cincinnati is now working very nicely. THCRTJ are live great engines furnishing power for seven complete flouring mills.

TUB woman suffragists had quite a set to at Farwoll Hall. Susan B. Anthony and Miss Frank Croaker indulged in considerable tongue lashing.

AFTEK the Democratic Convention had nominated "B. W." yesterday there was a large box of Democratic harmony ex pressed to Terrc Haute.

HON. JOHN E. LAMB returned from Chicago this morning. John says that if tho fight should be narrowed down to Grant and Blaine, that Blaine would havo no show at all.

How many persons are there in Tcrre Haute that will say tlirtt the Little Buttercup of the Express can give an impartial report of the National Convention at Chicago _______________________

GBN. WALKER, Superintendent of the Census, has decided that in filling their schedules the enumerators must niake their entries in standard black ink, and the uso of automatic pencils, analine inks or copying inks will not be permitted. a muiai an— il jjj' jum

As the chief end of the Terre Ilau te Gazette sat behind the brass band, about a quarter of a mile from the Chairman, he espied tho editor of the NEWS in the best reportorial seat in the Convention, and he sighed, "Thou art so noar and yet so far."

IT is patent to everyone that the real hero of the hour is ltoscoe Conkling. The great desire of the crowd is to see and hear him, and one of the most natural incidents of the excitement is the enthusiasm of lovely women concerning him.— Chicago Time*.

\YK must beg pardon from our readers we had intended enlarging the NEWS to day, thinking the Chicago eConvntion would surely be over, but, owing to the tact that it is still in session we will not enlarge until the next President «f the United States is nominated. We presume this will be during the fore part of next

THKUK will be a secular congress of Free Thinkers of all countries held at Brussels, Belgium, in next August. This will be the thirl international congress of Free Thinkers the first having been held at Amsterdam in 1809. the second at Naples in 1869. The National Secular Society and the British Secular Union, composed of sixty eight branches. The National Liberal League of North America, which has 195 auxiliary leagues: the Federated Rationalistic Society of France, Germany. Belgium and elsewhere. The Free Thought Societies of Holland, and tlie Free Thinker organizations of Ant' werp and Brussels will be in attendance.

THE arrivals of immigrants, at Castle tardea, New York, last week aggregated 11,502, swelling the total for the month to 58,467, and two more days to hear from. Saturday ,2,124 were landed- The City of Brussels, from Liverpool, brought 947 the Neckar, from Bremen, 760, and the State of Alabama, from Glasgow, 417. Among the passengers on the last named vessel were 200 Irish, whose passage was paid to thiscountTy by the Fermanagh Relief Association, recently organized in New York.

There is something significant in this great increase of immigration. Never

the history of our country has there been such an influx of people to our shores. It is a question worth considera tion whether or not this exodus from the old world is composed of people that will make good citizens that will conform to the American idea.

The American does not tend towards pauperism or crime, but if you read the statistics of these great calamities you will find that the greater portion of them are found among foreigners.

We account for this from the fact that in past years the majority of those immigrating here from the prisons and slums of the old world.

But lite class of immigration for the past year or two, seems to be of a more staple kind, mostly Germans, French, Norwegians, Austrians these area quiet home loving people, but have been driven from their native country by the military law. They are mostly finding homes in our western provinces, and in a few years they will form an important faotion in American politics.

A News paper that steals its Chicago news from bulletin boards ought most certainly to be enlarged.— Gazette.

Ahem! Got this idea from the Express, did you. Come over and look at our bulletin board and seethe position of the chief end of your little sheet by the side of the "Little Buttercup" of the Express, both be hind the brass band, as far from the seats set apart for the press as from the NEWS office to the Postoffice on Sixth street. We are in for an impartial report in the Chicago affair, and if you get anything on your bulletin board that we can use to benefit our readers wq will steal it, unless you stand over your board with a club. We are bound to have the latest nows. There never has yet appeared in the columns of the NEWS anything taken from bulletin boards, but you can rest assured if you put anything on them of any importance we will steal it.

Please come over and see where your chief end is seated in the Chicago con vention.

THE bark Monrovia sailed from New YorkjSaturday for Monrovia. Liberia, with seventy-six colored emigrants. They are sent out by the American Colonization Society, which will take care of them l'or six months after theirarrival. Forty-four are over twelve years of age, and most of the men are farmers. Miss Scott, a mis sionary, who came to New York to raise money to build a girls' school house, is a passenger. A party of emigrants sailed last week in the bark Liberia, and eleven remain in New York awaiting an opportunity to go.

Just to show what kind of a crowd the Blaine blowers at Chicago are we clip the following from the 2'imes of yesterday:

AN cloborato swindle in tickets of admission to the Exposition building is being practiced in and about the hotols by an unscrupulous and dishonorable set of ncn. The ordinary tickets have coupons labeled "first session," "second session." The doorkeepers only dotached one coupon from the tickets presented Wednesday, there being only one session, and the holders retained the stub, with the two remaining coupons. A large number of these tickets fell into the hands of a gang of brokers, who proceeded to peddle them about the hotel lobbies and other public places, claiming that they were good for the season, ami proving this assertion by pointing to the second and third coupons, which they said entitled the holdors toad mission to" tho convention during the second and third days' sittings. They induced many tin sophisticated visitors to bu}* these tickets, under the impression that they were getting a good thing, the prices paid ranging from $3 to $30. Many of the old tickets were presented at the doors by innocent holders, but the guards having been warned, they were not able to gain admission. There is no telling towhatextent the swindle was carried out, but it is believed that several hundreds of the strips of colored paper were purchased bv unsophisticated visitors at high rates. The committee having the distribution of tickets ijn charge are powerless to pre vent swindles,^and al! that can be done is to put the public on guard. The tickets are dated June 3, June 3 and June 4, respectively, so that really the purchasers are not deserving of" sympathy* They should have known better than to be taken in in this way. and they are oa the same plane as the men who fall victims to the bogus check games.

There is a big business done in the sale of genuine tickets hf Southern delegates, ana the "'friends" of certain delegates who arc not from the South. Brokers go about openly hawking them, and anybody wiio wants to give $10 for the fun of watching the proceedings from the insidecaiit get in. A $10 note looks as big as a cart-wheel to many of the honorable guests—men who are here engaftd in the business of president making, and they are not ioth to do a little outside work of this sort. la justice to the generality of delegates it mifbt be well to stale that thev look upon these traffickers with undisguised contempt.*

THE proceedings, at the National Con vention yesterday, taken as a whole, were decidedly in favor of Grant The people assembled there are growing tired of the howling anti-Grant men, Who have for the last three days done nothing but howl and abuse General Grant. They will neither do anything themselves or let any one else do anything. There was never anything like it in the history of American politics. But they will find that with all their noise they cannot shake the determination of the old veterans to stand by Grant, and they will soon find that the best and cheapest way out of the muddle that they are now in is to stop whining and go to work.

SOME time ago the papers of Arkansas were discussing the proper pronunciation of the word Arkansas, some claiming that it was pronounced Ar kansas, others Axkansaw. A letter was written to Al bertS. Gatschet. the distinguished linguist in regard to the matter and he replies as follows:

Smithsonian Institute. Bureau of Eth nology, Washington, D. C., May 9, 1880 —Editors Gazette:—If your joint committee wants to hit the correct pronunciation of Arkansas, and to modify its ortho graphy accordingly, the first thing to do is to drop the "r* from the word, and the second emphasize it on the second sylla ble—Akansa. The earliest French chron iclers always write Akansa, and the 'V was put in by ign.orants to give the "a the continental sound. There are even instances where the word fatJier has been written "farther" for the same reason also, "terbaker" for tobacco. Yours, re spectfully, ALBERT GATSCHET,

Linguist of Burettu of Ethnology

The Wonderful

in Science.

Seen from the earth by the testimony of our eyes, the sun moves, and apples or other fulling bodies descend to the earth's surface in lines perpendicular to the horizon. When Copernicus declared the motion of the sun to be unreal, an appearance only, an optical illusion—he snould at the same timo have declared that the fall of an apple in a single right line motion was unreal—an appearance only, an optical illusion and that the apparent motion of the sun, and the apparent fall of an apple, were due to the aerial rotation aid orbital revolution of the eartli. And because Copernicus was mistaken in receiving the error of Ptolemy as a truth, and a manifest appearance of nature for a real motion, the system of philosophy which he founded was not true to nature, and hence the system of the world by Sir Isaac Newton was not the system of the world created by the God of the Jews and Gentiles.

First—An apple in its fall, for the time of one second, will appear to move in a single right li»e motion, one hundred and ninety-three inches and because the apple will appear to fall in entire freedom from the motions of tl.e earth, the phenomenon of the straight line fall of a body is of necessity fn optical illusion, which Newton saia was due to gravity.

Second—In the same second of time the apple, by the force of the axial ro* tation, will be carried eastward and forward with the earth in the direction of a curve line^ eighteen thousand two hundred and sixteen inches, or over ninety-four times further than Newton supposed the apple was moved by his fabled force of gravity alone.

Third—-In the same second of time, in a second real curve liile motion, and in another direction, the apple, by the force of the orbital revolution, will be carried eastward and forward by the earth in its orbit, five hundred and thirty-one thousand and twenty-four inches, or more than two thousand eight hundred and three times further, than Newton supposed the apple was moved by his mental delusion of gravity alone.

Fourth—Moreover, the natural motive forces, ignored by Gallileo and Newton in their descent of falling bodies, of the axial rotation and orbital revolution, impel the apple into compound curve line motions, round the center of latitude in w!.ii'h the apple is for the time moving, and also round the far distant central electrical sun, the appie simultaneously moving in double motions round two centres. By so much did Sir Isaac Newton fail to understand the facts of nature.

Seen from the earth, the eyes of an observer determine the appearance of nature, but the facta of nature are determined by an education which unveils all mystery, and brings to light the secret that the appearances and realities of nature are inimical to each other. Hence the optical illusion of the plumb line deceived Copernicus, and misled Newton and all of his disciples. Hence the Prineipia was founded in error.

A Jackass that wouldn't .Scare. San Antonio Herald. A vagrant ass stood beside the track of the Sunset railway at the depot a few mornings ago an engine moved slowly up: it stopped within a few feet of the ass the engineer blew one of those terri ble screams,,prolonged and .ear-piercing such'a blast as makes a sleeping Milleritc dream of the day of judgment. Bid the ass scare? not worth a cent Did he shake tlie sloth from his limbs, erect his tail and speed away like the asses of Bassorafi, faster than the Bedouin coursier, ran back to the chaparnl? No he didn He turned one ear toward the engine just as a deaf man uses his tin ear-trumpet and caught every particle of the sound. And when the steam-blown whistle ceased its notes and all the echoes died away, the animal straightened our his necK, openetfhiij mouth, and in a voice that deafened all the railroad men, and caused the freight clerk to drop his pen. roared: '"I can't! I can't? I can't! 1 can't be beat! be beat! be beat.' be beat! I c-a n't be*be-be*be beatl*
