We know all about Olive. ^Lnd sp we tell it. a'ewHaaijft ^i^ Ierl this morning and then hearr her lcctnre to-night. Don't depend ortthe EYfRKHH to tell yon what she iaye^ '^That^ isn't in the possibilities. Her words may be paraphrased, but her manner cannot, nnd in that manner lies her chief charm. It is piquant grace, satire, wit, humor, eloquence, personal magnetism and physical beauty, all united in one overflowing whole-souled woman, who, for her sex, is Waging most succe sful battle.

Naughtily, for the age of a woman differs from that of wine, and is always mentionless, Olive is 31. She was born in Elmira, New York, her father being Cornelius A. Logan, a comic actor of repute, then playing at that town. Literally, she was a child of the stage. Her cradle was located behind the scenes,Jand her baby squalls were pitched in Sharp( to the accompaniment of th'e orchestra, probably her gruel was mixed in the tinseled goblet from which the hero of the stage nightly took his hemlock bitters. Singularly though, the profession was her aversion. She cordially hated the sock and buskin, and when she was first introduced to the public she went reluctantly. Then she was four years old, and her character wasGora's child in Pizarro. Her after familiarity with the theater boards never outgrew this opposition. Her warm heart throbs.with fresh pain now whenever she sees a child led before the foot lights.

Hier early life was a struggle. She tfas one of many children in a family whert abundance never appeared. The father died when she was fourteen, and the stage became her necessity. She went to Philadelphia, and regularly entered the business. Afterward she rotated through the country until 1857, when she went to Paris. Seven years were passed- in Eu-, rope, and they were years of promiseHer ripe intellect wpfolded. To the public she because well known as an actrcss of rare merit and an authoress of versatile power. Honors came to her unsought. Lord Palmerston opened his door to her. Countess Crowley pressed her to become an inmate of that noble family. Thackeray was fascinated with the brilliancy of her wit, and Prince Polignac, Kothermelf Count Oskroski, Edmund About, Gardoni, the Princess Metternich, and hundreds of others equally noted, becamjp her confidential admirers.

During all this time, her pen was never idle. The magazines of England and the continent were brilliant with her. productions. She published two works, "Photographs of Paris Life" and "Home Scenes in France." These were issned there and on this side of the ocean, and were extensively circulated. Coming home in 1864, public entreaty called her to the stage. She starred everywhere. Her receptions were ovations, but heartily disgusted with the growing „indecencies of the drama, she left the stage, and will doubtless never return. For the past few years she has made feminine war, with masculine vigor, upon dramatic folly and immorality. The nude woman was, by her satire, stripped of the few rags that clothed her. The cxnaillt of the stage, the naked women, and pandering managers hounded her pitilessly, but she came out victor. Every American mother shrines her name, sacredly, for her noble efforts to remove the model artist from the public drama. Clergymen have honored her. The religious press commended her, and all mankind love her,

Such is Olive Logan. She will leetiire before us to-night, and our advice to everybody is, go and honor one who has done so much to make womankind worthy of honor.

WE SAW a drunken man lb cibly ejected from a saloon last evening by the polite bar-keeper. The saloon door was suddenly opened and the poor inebriate roughly shoved into the gutter, where he lay until a friend came to his assistance, and led him off. The old story. He had spent all his money for devil's broth, and because he became noisy and demanded drinks on credit, he was thrust forth to care for himself. «|.

A DEVIL AT LARGE.—A fine mare vaL ued at $150, was stolen from Mr. P. M. Haskins, living three and one-half miles northwest of Sullivan, on last Wednesday night. The mare was tracked to near the north gate of the Fair Ground, and finally was found in the woods, not far from there, with her throat cut in ten different places—seven gashes on one side and three on the other.

Ike Brown, of the Unum, suggests that the scoundrel who committed the deed should be tied to the dead carcdta of the mare until he eats the flesh from her bones. !.'

How TO EAT—Is certainly a fit subject lor our local columns, for eating is an everyday occurrence. Not one of our readers but is interested in the matter, and hence we print the following from a tract published by the Ladies' Sanitary Association, London:

We should never eat' whfh have" just come from fatiguing work, or from a long walk. The stomach sympathizes with the rest of the body, and cannot Renter on its work of digeston until it has had some rest. Fatal consequences are sometimes the result of "bolting" a meal after excessive fatigue. If we can sit or lie down for ten minutes only, let ns do so, and a half hour of re^t is still better.

Second. We should be particular in the mastication of our food. Persons who have good teeth need only a little patience. Those who have not should cut their food as small as possible, so as to imitate mastication. It should be known to every one that the saliva acts a very important part in digestion. It should be mixed with the food in the mouth and swallowed with it. Some persons have a habit of spitting out the saliva every few* minutes, and especially before they speak. This is "an unhealthy and offensive habit, to call it by no other name.

Thirdly, we shculd eat slowly. And, in order to be able to do this, if our labor presses a3, it is better to eat only a light luncheon in the middle of the day, and tak« o&e hearty meal after the day's work fo doce Then we are at ewe we have time to laugh and talk over the

Children need to eat often—oftener than

to accumulate the means of increased growth. Children are alsb superfluously active, and waste strength in that way.— They should have as much to eat as they want not as much as yoa think best, because you do not know how much they want or need. Your own appetite is a good guide Jor you. So it is^ for your fhildren. ilto ndf tell. ttiem. tha* .bread and butter'ls not good for little boys, and that sugar spoils their teeth. btitter are very

like fat meat, you must allow, them all the morf stigar A chemat will tell yon xhn both fatty sabsfanc& and'sacdiatine or sweet substances are eventually oxydisedinthebody. Sugar is the form to which many otherthings have to be reduced before they are available as a meatmaking food and the.formation of sugar is car] on in the body, It has been proved that the liver is a factory, in which otjier constituents of food are transformed into sugar. Now, it is probable that yOur boys really need sugar to make and keep them well, and it is fortunate that most children are fond of sweets.— Children arc very fond of vegetable acids

ripe fruit, if they can get it if not, they will seize.cn unripe fruit, The ise of ripe fruit in bowel difficulties is quite important. Where the bowels do not act freely, it is often sufficient to give, not a dose of rhubarb, which the boys hatesr but a saucer of ripe berries or a ripe apple before br«Afast, which he does like. Some child, being asked, "What was wrong?" answered, "Everything I jpant to do. And it does sometimes seeit) as. if parents were occupied much more in denying than in grat-lA-I /lUillKAn'a nnnatifafl This is it as do. And what comes of it? Simply, that as soon as they have an opportunity they indulge their love for fruits and sweets to excess. Then you think that it is the fruit and the sweets that do the harm, whereas it is only the excess.

A Bemferkable Discovery in Sallttaa County.'

THE FOOTPRINTS OF crVTLU5ATIO» ra»COVERED ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FEET BELOW THE BTOFACET OF THE

EAKTH—A SEA SERPENT ALSO DISCOVERED.

From thefhdlivan Uriiontj One of the most singular and wonderful discoveries of the age, was made in the Carryville coal mines, a few days ago. At a depth of one hundred and eighty feet, while the miners were cutting through a slate stone, they discovered the petrified body of a sea serpent. We examined this petrification, andean say with truth, that it is the finest specimen we ever saw. Unfortunately it was broken into three pieces, and a piece from near the center missing— perhaps thfown out in a sliver of stone.

A limb had evidently fallen across the serpent, about eight or ten inches from the head, and mashed the part underneath fiat, and strange to say, even this thin part was formed into solid stone, and was taken out perfect. The wrinkles in the body of the serpent in its writhing as if to extricate' itself from the stick that fell across it, were as perfect and natural as the day the affair took place. The head isshaped like that of an eel, and the tail, from indications, must have been supplied with abroad fin, or a flat fleshy substance, as a propeller. The eyes and mouth jean be distinctly .traced, while the body is covered with small sunken spots, similar to those on a hog skin, though not so small or numerous. This specimen is five feet three inches long, near ten inches around the largest part of the body.

In addition to this most singular curiosty, perfect impressions of leaves, limbs, brush and other samples of vegetation were taken out at this enormous depth. Among these was a beautiful impression of what is familiarly called snake weed, or fern, which grows in almost every valley throughout western country.

The most singular specimen is yet to be described, and in attempting to communicate the fact to our readers, we feel as though the history of our earth is just as much a mystery to the present generation as it was to those who inhabited it before the flood—the "half having not yet been told." The sole of a shoe, or sandal, was taken out in a complete state of petrifaction. The heel is almost perfect, and the impression of something in the heel resembles tacks or nails, is plain and distinct. This specimen is about eight inches long and of the usual width.

When this discovery is eriously considered in connection with the general formation of the earth for-, a circumference of between seventy and eighty miles around—there not being a^hilli of any material height—not a ravine of a depth worthy of remark—not, a cavern, and the Wabash the largest stream within this scope, and the earth almost level and thickly and heavily timbered, what mind can go down into the bowels of the earth, one hundred and eighty feet beneath the firmly rooted aged oaks of the forest, and solve the mysteries there unfolded? What intelligent being can stand and look updn these marks of civil-* ization, which have been buried for ages upon ages, and feel that he is not treading upon "hallowed ground?" What pen can explain or convey a correct appreciation of this connecting link, or joining of hands as it were, with those who must have existed years before the flood? Indeed we are lost in wonder, and shall leave the solution to the more experienced.

In conclusion we cannot refrain from expressing ^our candid belief that the present age know nothing of this little "ball of earth," in comparison to the realities of what has been, or .what is to be.

The petrified serpent was taken to Terre Haute and presented to Mr. Chauncey Rose, who will dispose of it as he may think best. We suggest, however, that it, with the shoe or sandal sole and the other specimens, be placed in the Normal School building, as relics of the unwritten history of the past ages of the Wabash Valley.
