TJIK Terre Haute NEWS is a stalwart Republican paper, and argues political .'questions In a nigh toned style, and in strict accordance with the teachings of the party that arrogates to itself all the "virtue Intelligence and decency.—SuUimn
DemomU. We arc glad to know that our teaching is aomg so much good.
The Savannah Nem, an excellent, hut red-hot Democratic paper in a long editorial on McDonalds book whtfrein he tries to connect Gen. Grant with the whisky ring, makes use of this truthful language:
Experience has taught that such men as John McDonald, of whisky ring notoriety. and his revelations thereof, are not reliable for the truth of their statements, and that they are of no benefit but a positive'injury to any party. Mr. McDonald bus the right to publish his book, but we sincerely nope it^vill have no Democratic countenance. We are trying to drag our politics out of the corruntlon into which they have sunk, and to tlo that effective ly we must resolutely condemn dishonor in whatever shape it may come, or wherever we may meet it, particularly when born of treafchory to one's party and friends. Has there ever lived an tontraitor? Xever! What claim then can McDonald have to our attention or conlklcnco in his IxHrayal of his old friends of the whisky ring? None!
—Sixth warders, go to the polls on nest Monday and vote for PhllHns.
WK again call the attention of the Sixth wardens to the necessity of a'thorough preparation for the coming election in the Sixth ward. The Democracy have now placed Ernest Rleemel in the field as their candidate and hope thereby to catch the German vote, but as to whatever personal qualities Mr. Bleeraql may bring before the people the fact of his being a Democrat in this city for twenty-six years ought to be enough to defeat him. The personal qualities of Mr. Blecntel will be looked after, and the welfare and prosperity of oar city needs the attention of every man, woman and child, and lho«*&i* the tmly issues we hate in election on next Monday. 3tr. Phillips Is a reprtjsentative man for all classes Wiag a hard-working man h» katw$*the wants, of the laboring wen better than does Mr. Biecmel, who has no Identity of iatemt %ith them. -V .-.i Vi 1*t honest citiaena look well to the

SINCE yesterday we have learned that the speech of Mr. Voorhees at the Wig warn was A disappOilrtnTcSlit alll^i to Democrats and R^afelicans In very be-, ginning 1^ announced,, that, he came to* speak to his old neighbora and friends without the slightest feeling of passion arising from his large and magnanimous heart. These are about the same words JSIl. A'otrhoca lias, jbecn using in his speeches to the people of Terre Haute for a quarter of a century, and yet we who have been bearing him speak all this long time, know him to be a man of political recklessness, with an utter disregard of facts and history. Who has forgotten how, but a few years ggo, he stood up in the same court house yard, and at the top of his voices declared to his neighbors and friends that no Democrat who had any self-respect could support Horace Greeley? and how he wanted a tombstone erected over his grave, bearing the inscription, in commemoration qf his steadfastness and devotion to Democratic principles, and then how, in a few weeks afterward, "went bellowing through the woods," begging the Democracy to go for Greeley, because he was the greatest and best man the world ever produced? Who has forgotten the unreleutless spirit wit which he has followed the poor negro race, from their low condition of absolute Slavery to the high condition of American citizenship which that race now holds in this country? Who has forgotten the spirit he manifested toward his country and the soldiers who fought for its pres ervation for four long years?
The fact is, that Mr. Voorhees has so often eaten, "chawed" and swallowed liijs? great speeches and principles ^announced therein, in the court house square, Jhajt his old neighbors. and friends have ceased to have any confidence in, or respect for, them. —Vote fbr Phillips.
AN exchange shaking about the Congressional Representative under the new census says that the House Of Representatives, as at present 'constituted) consists of two hundred and ninety-three members. Under the census of 1870, the population of the country was placed at 88,000,000, so the representation at present is one member for every 131,425 of such population. It is estimated that the new census will show a population of about 49,000,000, and, if the present ratio of representation is retained, the number of members in the lower House, after the expiration of the Forty-seventh Congress, will be three hundred and seventy-five.
It is not probable, however, that the old ratio of representation will be continued, as the result would be that the House would becomc too unwieldy a body, and Congress has always manifested a disposition to keep the number of Representatives at about 800, both for the abovo reason, and because thero would be great difficulty in providing accomodations for a greater number in the present Representative Hall. It is therefore likely that the population of the country will be divided by 800. which, takiug 49, 000,000 as the total population, would be one member for about every 163,000 souls in each State. It is estimated that at this rate, so far as is known, Missouri, Illinois and Ohio would each gain two members, New York would gain three, and Pennsylvania three. All of the New England States exeopt Massachusetts.*! would lose one- each, and it is also thought some of the Southern States would lose one, though as latest returns from the South show that this section has gained much more population than was at first supposed, she may hold her own. It is pretty safe to say, at any rate, that the calculations in which the Radicals have been indulging, that representation in this section would be very materially reduced, will not bo realized—a fact which, no dotfbt, will occasion them considerable disappointment.
—Everybody vote for Phillips.
A MECHANICAL WATCH DOG.—That the greatest ingenuity should.lie displayed in the invention of machinery to economize manual hibor is at once natural and creditable, boi we do not anticipate that the builder of the future would he called upon to fit a mechanical watch dog to the street door so as to guard the bouse he may bo required to const met. Most ersons are aware that by introducing a aiue of gas into an open tube, whether metal or glass, the tube'will, sound in fact, we might easily produce singing flames. There are silent-speaking tubes that is to'say, tubes that, tinder ordinary circumstances, do not utter a sound, but if a door be opened drought is created, then the glass vibrates, and the most startling noises result. A glass of Urn description has been contrived in which when a jet of gas "bartis. the sound of a dog barking is IWOdtu^ea, should the street-door be onehed. Thus may the house be gURJxwl by a mechanical dog.
—Remember the election next Monday and rote for Philips.

Thoughts on Suicide. r-'
We have often wondered at, and deplored, that most outrageous and atrooIOUS of crimes—suicide. To thin it how a man can voluntary take aWay his own life, and hurl himself into the presence of his Creator and Judge, baffles all description. Yet, notwithstanding the fact that this crime ie directly opposed to the law of God—for no man is master of his Own life—we learn from authentic! sources that it is sadly on the increase. There is scarcely a paper that we take np that does not give a case of suicide aa having taken place either ii our own country or in Europe. It is remarkable, too, that in those places and countries where infidelitv lias gained the greatest sway—obtained a footing, as we may say —it is there that cases of suicide are more frequent, and that this most dar'ing outrage against God aud man annually reaches an enormous figure. It has been reported on official authority at Copenhagen that during the past thirty years no less than 16.111 Suicides h«we taken place out of a population of about 2,000,000 souls. This 1: surely a sad state of affiairs and it is nil the more revolting when we consider the various means employed for the perpetration of this awful deed. Some wll! have recourse to drowning, others to blowing out their brain8 by fire-arms, .o:her* ajjain to hanging themselves, and J*till others to cutting their own throuts with some sharp-edged instrument
Bnt we may ask ourselves the question, is there no wny of remedying this evil? Cannot men be made to learn that thev nave no dominion oyer their own lives that in laying violent haiids on themselves tiicry act contrary to every principle both

Why Grant was not Assassinated.
"The darkest day of my life," said the General, "was the day I heard of Lincoln's assassination. I did not know what it meant. Here was the rebellion put down in the field and starting up in the glitters we had found it as war, now we had to fight it as assassination. Lincoln was killed on the evening of the 14th of April. I was busy sending out orders to stop recruiting, the purchase of supplies, and to muster out the array. Lincoln had promised to go to the theatre, and wanted me to go with him. While was with the president, a note came from Mrs. Grant saying she must leave Washington that night. She wanted to go to Burlington to see .her children. Some incident of a trifling nature had made her resolve to leave cnat evening. I was glad to have it so, as I did not want to go to the theatre. So I made my excuse to Lincoln, and at the proper hour we started ibr the train. As we were driving along Pennsylvania avenue, a horseman drove past us on a galfop, and back again around our carriage, looking into it. Mp?. Grant said, "There iy }he man whosatnear usat lunch to-day, with some other men, and tried to overhear our conversation. He was so rude that we left the dinning-room. Here he is now riding after us. I thought it was only curiosity, but learned afterward that the horseman was B»oth. It seemed I was to have been attacked, and Mrs. Grant's sudden resolve to leave deranged the plan. A few driys after I receivedan annoymous letter from a man saying that he had been detailed to kill me, that he rode on my train as far as Havre de Grace, and as my car was locked he failed to get in. He thanked God he had failed. I remembered the conductor locked our car, but how true the letter was, I can not say. I learned of the assassination as I wsls passing through Philadelphia. I turned around, took a special train, and came on to Washington. It was the gloomiest day of my lite.1'
A Poet Laureate Snubbed. When Thomas Buchanan Read was in London, during the first year of the civil war, he was invited one evening to meet Mr. Tennyson. As soon as they were introduced, the Englishman began to speak of the war, saying "I had much sympathy for your country, 31 r. Read, but I
Withdrawn my sympathy now. I feel bound to tell you that your country .oing to perdition, and I don't mind it either. En|rtand, Mr. Read, is not with the North in this barbarous struggle." Read, nettled ijy such rudeness, determined to be rude in turn?and responded thus: "Too need nqt disturb yourself, Mr. Tennyson, about my country. It can get on perfectly well withontJEnglishaid or sympath v. We intend tb do our own fighting. You're giving yourself unnec* essary uneasiness. To oe plain, Mr. Tennyson, we Americans of the 2Sorth don't Care a d- about yon Englishmen, and the sooner yon learn it the more trouble will be saved." "My rudeness," remarked Bead, "seemed to pi ease Tenhyson. He was very kind and poBt© after my explosion, treating me the remainder of the eveving with distinguished consideration."
Anxiety is the poison of human life. It is the parent of many sins, and of more miseries. In a world where everything & doubtfr.l, where you may be disappointed, and he blessed in disappointment, what means this restless stir and commotion of mind? Can yonr soiicitnde alter the cause or unravel the intricacy of human events? Can vonr curiosity pierce tbrotich the cloud which the Supreme Being bath made impenetrable to mortal eye? To provide against every important danger ov the employment of the most promising means is the office of wisdom but at this point wisdom stops.

Never too Late to Learn.
Socrates, at an extreme qld age, learned to play on musical instru|neiti&. Cato, at eighty years of ago, JegiFned the Greek language. &
Plutarch, when between seventy and eighty, began the study of Latin. JBoccaeio was thirty-five years of age when he commenced his studiesiu light literature yet he became one of the jgreatest masters of the Tuscan dialect. Dante and Plutarch being the other two.
Sir Henry Spell man neglected the sciences iu his youth, but commenced the study of them when he was between fifty And sixty years of age. After this time he became a most learned antiquarian and lawyer.
Dr. Johnson applied himself to the Dutch language but a few years before his death.
Ludovico Monaklesco, at the great age of one hundred and fifteen, wrote the memoirs of his own times.
Ogiby, the translator of Homer and Virgil, as unacquainted with Latin and Greek till he was past fifty.
Franklin did not fully commence*1 his philosophical pursuits till he had reached his fiftieth year.
Dry den. in his sixth-eighth car, commenced the translation of the Iliad, that most pleasing production.
We could go on and cite thousands of examples of men who commenced anew study, either for a livelihood or amusements, at an advanced age. But every one familiar with the biography of distinguished men, will recollect indivdual cases enough to convince them that none but the sick and indolent will ever say:
am to old to learn."
Umnarriedl Women.

not husbands enough to go round. This, however, is disproved by statistics. Take the world through, and figures show that there are as many men in it as there, are omen. .Others attribute it to the expehsiv'eness of modern life. "Men do not marrv because it is said they cannot afiforu to. But the fact is, that no man who truly loved a woman ever hesitated to become engaged to her and eventually marry her because of poverty. Tli6re are cold-blooded men, wilh no idea of any feeling for a woman stronger than languid admiration, who may be deterred from assuming what they regard as a burden in the shape of a wife, unless assured of a liberal income, but most are not so calculating. Others, again, attribute the evil to women's fastidiousness. They expect too much in a husband, and, while waiting for an impossible shadow, let the possible substance slip through their Dingers. This is a libel on the sex. As a rale they are no more fastidious than men are, and are just as susceptible as men to that enchantment of love which invests its object with every perfection and covers up every fault. So far as men and women are concerned, they are as prone to marriage now as in any period of the world's history. Nevertheless, there are the women waiting for husbands and not getting them. They are pretty, they are accomplished, they are sensible, and, under proper training, they would make excellent wives and mothers, but they never get a chance. What seems to be needed is a more thorough method of bringing men and women into social contact with each other.
He was Tired the First Night.
A newlv-married couple from Indiana*^ registered at the St. Nicholas Hotel, in Paris, 111., one evening this week, and! landlord Chapman conducted them to tRe parlor. After supper the groom seafed himself in the office, leaving his young bride in the hotel parlor. About 9 o'cfock the young benedict from Indiana said to the clerk: "I belive I will go to bed," and the clerk thought that was a
Queer
Figured Down to a Point.
The advertisement of Barnum's tattooed Greek Sailor says: "He has on his body 7,000,000 puno* tures, and it was all done by a female savage. The poor man lost a drop of blood and shea a tear for every puncture, and was the only one of twenty-four who survived the operation. The woman who did the tattooing worked six hours a day for ninety days before the task was completed."
A mathematician of the Albany Exprm figures as follows: "The woman must have given him 3| punctures a second. Then, if he lost one drop of blood with every puncture, he lost, estimating the usual" number of drops to tbe pink and taking a pint for a" pound,
0,833
pounds. Or to put it differently, just S89 gallons of blood, or a trifle over twenty barrels during ninety days. Tears don't weigh as much as blood, so bunching the two together, tbe gentle* man fitftn Albania must have lost nitons of those fluids within three months." Barnum's agent retorts that, if the Greek had not been a wonderful man. he would not have been exhibited.
Curiosities of Life.

Half of all who lire die before seventeen years. Only one ten thousand to be a hundred years old and but one in a hundred readies sixty yeans. The married live longer thaw the single. There is one soldier to every eight persons, and out of every thousand bom, ninety-five weddings take place.

for a man to do, especially on nis bridal tour. But about 11 at night Mr. Chapman, the proprietor of the hotel, incidentally stepped into the parlor, and to his surprise he found the bride waiting for the new found husband. His whereabouts were pathetically related by the sympathizing landlord* who most gallantly escorted the lady to the door of the chamber occupied by the sleepy and tired spouse. When the patient bride asked for an explanation, her dear husband responded in the following innocent manner: "I was tired and thought I would go to bed." He meant it all right, but this being the first time, ne was not familiar with the details of procedure at the beginning of so important a crisis as this.—Indianapolis Journal.
