Temperance Meetings Yesterday.

There were some thousand or more people at .the temperance meeting in the Wigwam yesterday afternoon. After the meeting was open and Mr. Dunn was about to make his opening speech, a terrible rainstorm came up, and for a few minutes the rain poured Uirough the plank covering, especially on uie stand, among the preachers, speakers and singers. Some had umbrellas, others crowded in on dry places, so that none were badly drenched. But there was rather more cold water than the temperance people had bargained for. The rain soon passed off, and all went on smoothly again. The meeting lasted over two horns and was enthusiastic, the audience giving very close attention to the several speeches made by Mr. Dunn and others, and from the audience. Mr. Dunn's closing speech was thought to be the best of his course.

The meeting in the evening at the cnurch, corner of Seyenth and Mulberry streets, was well attended, the house being nearly full. This church will seat some seven hundred people, and can be nrnde to seat eight hundred by the use of gallery ond chairs in tlie aisles, and is one of the best houses in the city for such meetings, not being used at present for church purposes.

Mr. Dunn gave a most earnest and telling speech of thirty minutes in length. Cicero Buchanan, of Evansville, spoke some ten minutes, and was received with much favor. A1 Lyons, George Russell, L. Gearneau, Dr. Mitchell and others spoke for a few minutes.

During the day some forty-five persons signed the pledge, many of them men.

Saras* Burglar.

This seems to be a very good burglar season throughout the State. Papers from all points contain daily some account of the work of burglars.

Terre Haute has had but one or two cases of this kind lately. The last of which we have any knowledge occurred last Saturday night at the residence of Mr. Robinson, on south Sixth street Mr. R. had not returned from his place of business at 12:80 o'clock, and no one was in the house except his wife and daughter. About half past twelve a noise was heard at one of the back windows, and Miss Robinson, on examination, found a man attempting to raise the window. Finding this one too well secured, he tried another. TheJ ladies did not interfere with his work, but boldly jumped from an open window, ran to one of the neighbois, named Jordon, who immediately started for the night prowler. The thief began firing, and four shots were directed at Jordon before he had time to make any preparation. Fortunately no shot took effect, but the burglar's compliment was returned by three shots from Jordon revolver, which, like those of the burglar, flew wide of their mark. Tbe fellow escaped and is probably looking up another field for action.*.

"Nick."' Hudson.

The Greencastle Banner, speaking of the recent accident on tLe T. H. & I. railroad, says:

Mr. Dodson was the engineer, on tho

gassengerlast

train which was wrecked at

elleville Thursday morning. To his promptness in applying the air brake on discovering that the switch was open is due to the fact that the passengers escaped unhurt. Had he jumped to save himself, and left the train to its fate, tho loss of life would have been fearful. And after the disaster in which he was so fearfully mangled, he tore himself from the WTOck which held him down and managed to crawl some distance up the embankment before assistance reached him. The continuous and horrid noise made

l3?

the

steam whistle, which had been pulled wide open the gloom of the night which was just lifting into morning the wreck, and tho uncertain and aimless hurrying about of the passengers, all, made it a scene not soon to be forgotten. Amid it all not a murmur or a groan escaped Dodson. He is a hero, every inch of him, and the Banner learns with unfeigned pleasure of the faVorable prospects for his recovery, and that he was so fortunate as to have an accident policy for one thousand dollars.

The accident brought out the finer feelings of the railroad men, and showed that with them, as with the resfc of mankind, "one touch of nature makes the whole world kin." They were assiduous in their attentions to him and handled him with the tenderness of women. Everything was made to give way to the comfort of

Nidk." The time-table, telegraph and employes were all subordinate to his whuts for the time being, and more than one eye was moist with tears as they looked upon his mangled form. Railroading is a hard, wearing life, but the hearts of the men are in the right place.

Salt for Fruit Trees.

In the absence of the mineral fertilisers, such as wood and coal ashes, refuse lime and spent mortar, the remains of old walls and torn down buildings, bone dust, superphosphate of lime, and the .ike, common salt will be found an excellent application for fruit trees. If the soil is thin and poor, it will not bear as heavy an application as if deep and rich, and therefore salt should be used liberally or cautiously, according as it is applied to one or the other.

Salt is not only one of the most soluble of substances, but it is also a powerful solvent of minerals, inasmuch as the chlorine has such a range of strong aiinities that it releases ana renders solvent insoluble matter in the soil that, before its application, was not a plant food in an available form. It may be sown broadcast under tread as far out aa the limbs extend, to the extent of one or two bushels per tree of thirty feet spread of limb on rich soils, and a half or a third that quantity on poor, thin, and sandy soils, with the certainty that it will not only induce fruitfulness, but materially aid in the destruction of fruit-destroying insects, which seek and are protected by the earth during the winter season.

Monkey Story for Little folks. There lives in the south of France a man of wealth whose cbateati or country place of residence has around it very tall trees. The cook of the chateau has a

monkey,

a pert little fellow, who knows

every so many tricks. The monkey often helps the cook to pluck, the feathers from fowla. On the day that interests us the cook gave the monkey two patridges to pluck, and the monkey, seating him•olf in an open window. Went to work. Ho bad picked the feathers from one of the partridges and placed it on the outer ledge of the window with a satisfied runt, when lo! all at once a hawk flew wown from one of the tall trees near by and bore off the plucked bird. Master Monkey was very angry. He shook bis fist at tbe hawk, which took a seat on one of tbe limbs not far off and began to eat tbe partridge with great relish. The owner of tbe chateau taw tbe sport, for ho was sitting in agrapa arbor, and crept up to watch the end at

monk*?

it. The monkey

ked the other partridge, laid it on the «Jge in tbe same place, and hid behind the window-ecreen on the inside. The hawk was caagbt in this trap, for when it flewdown («t partridge, oat rwiched the

and caught the tana. In

a moment the hawk's neck was wrung, and the monkey soon had the hawk pl&eked. Taking the two birds to the oook the monkey handed them to him if to say, "Here are your two partndg master." The cook thought thas one v. the tarda looked queer, bat he served them on the table. Tbe owner of the house shook his head when he saw the and telling the oook of the trick, heartily.

Fratricide on Account of Mule. WASHINGTON, IND.. July 24.—Two

brothers named Holland live near Petersburg, Pike County, thirteen miles from this city. Yesterday a mule belonging to one of the brothers got into a corn-field of the other brother. The owner of the corn tied a clapboard to the mule's tail. This so maddened the owner of the mule that he proceeded to his brother's place and attacked him with a knife. The owner of the corn, in defending himself, struck his brother on the heat! with a board. crushing his Skull, from the effects of which he died this morning.

NEW YORK, July, 35.—Up to 8 o'clock this evening there was no visible change

The condition of Dr. Tanner differed little to-night from that of to-day. At midnight he was sleeping quietly, and at- 1 tending physicians said liis condition was *t improved.

Murder at Columbus. vj

COLUMBUS, IND.. Suly 35.—In an altercation last night. at Edinburg, between two men named Nichols and Ziegler. the latter was struck over the head by Nich-

WASHINGTON, July 35.—One of the American Consuls to Cuba is in Washington, having left the island two weeks ago. lie says the Spaniards at first denied the charge of-having fired upon the American vessels, and then justified it. Th^y declare they will make short work of all fillibusters caught, and will have no more Virginia cmbroglios. They will blow up and sink any craft caught with revolutionists, leaving no one to coma ashore to raise questions that may lead to "international complications. This official says it is very difficult, to know the truth about revolutionary matters, because Spanish authorities employ censors who see proofs of everything before it appeals in the papers, and nothing is allowed to be published that they consider damaging to them. He does not think, however, that much is being done by the Liberals, the most of the operations being confined to New York and Key West. /i

WASHINGTON, July 25.—Up to this time y: Secrct Service agcuts in the Treasury are as much in tlie dark as ever with respect,ir( to the capture of the plate from which ^'^3 dangerous counterfeits of $100 National bank notes have been made, and no cluc has been discovered which is likely to lead to the early arrest of the counterfeitcrs. Of these notes the last one detected bears the title of National Exchange Bank of Baltimore, and although Treaiury rs&. officials have stated positively that there are but thirty counterfeits altogether in a a to a a the number is much greater. Chief 5$ Brooks, though anxious to secure the,l^ plate, admits tnat he does not see how it is possible under the limited appropriation allowed his bureau under the Democratic Congress. The Comptroller still refuses to withdraw the notes ofth is donomination from circulation, but he has fa* taken steps to notify bankers and the pub- f'i lie generally to be very careful in handling $100 bills, which will, he thinks, 'J/ temporarily restrict their circulation. ."'V'.'i

LOUISVILLE, July 25.—The steamer IT. T. Dexter, Captain Jack Grammer, en" rovte from Pittsburg to Evansville, caught fire while underway just opposite Jeffer sonville, Ind., this afternoon. The boat was headed towards the shore, but tbe fire got too h6t for the pilot, and he had to back her into the island opposite Jeffcrf

sonville, where she burned lo her hull, when the fire was put out by the Louisville and Jeffersonville ferry-boat- She had no passengers on board, and all the crew escaped, out lost all their clothing, g/ &c. She had a fair trip of freight, consisting »of salt and glassware, of which the most will be saved, as her hull was damaged very little.

John Leeds Bosman, in bis hia* tory of Maryland, says that when the Spaniards first landed on the Canadian coast tbey looked around

tot

a while,

ind finding no indications of gold or silver, cried out, Aoa Nnfa, mcaaiag^f "there is nothing here." Tbe IndiaasL hearing this phrase so moeb, employed to designate the Spaniards after they were gone! When tbe Frenclffcrrived, 6eing white, tbe Indians took Shem for tbe same kind of people, and fried oat, Aca Nadtt, Aoa Nada. The French sapposed this to be tbe name of the country, and, dropping the a, called it Canada. -4^ Sir. Bosman says there is the best authosity for believing this to be the true ierivation of tha name.
