TEHRE HAUTE, INDIANA.

Monday Morning, April 10, 1S71.

The New York Sun thinks Connecticut has had a lucky escape in the defeat of J. W. Stedman, the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Third District, and theeleciion of IT. H. StaKitweather, his Republican antagonist. Stedman is a thorough blackguard. The Democrats should not put up such poor devils as candidates unless tliev wan' them to be beaten.

The Methodi-t Book Concern trouble is not yet over. The MethodUt

ing of the Hook Committee, inasmuch as the majority and minority did not agree It will have the transactions of the Book Committee of ii« Publishing House searched through and through, and no tactics will turn it from the execution of

its purpose.

The New York Tribune's Washington correspondent says: "Air. Sumnek believes that the West India islands are destined to be the home of the black race. In proof of this he points to the fact that in almost every instance the blacks have increased there much more rapidly than the whites, so that in some of the islands the while population is not more than twenty-five per cent, of the whole, while in many others it is less than fifty per cent. Mr. Sumner also hopes that at some future day there will be established in the West Indies a great and prosperous republic, and desires that the United States do everything in its power to bring about this desirable end." If that correctly represents the position of the extreme opponents of Dominican annexation, it is tolerably certain that we shall have all the West India islands in our hands at no distant day.

Those who urge general amnesty as a cure for Ku Kluxism seem to be laboring under the misapprehension that there is a large class of disfranchised rebels in the South. This is entirely false. The truth is, "the disfranchised" are merely thos« head rebels—.Tepf. D.wrs and a

If, as some of the advocates of universal amnesty maintain, Ku Kluxism is the rfsult of keeping a few perjured traitors out of officc, it is time to inquire whether these same traitors shocld not be effectually disposed of.

Tiie New York Times suggests that to stand by the wayside and scold may be eTective enough for a certain time, but it is not an occupation adapted to make or preserve the reputation of a statesman. If we take the records of this and last session, and carefully examine them, what shall we find attached to the names of Air. Sumner and the rest of the "irreconcilables?" What have they originated except fault-finding? They have neglected all the really great questions of the day, and wasted their time and energies on their great bugbear, San Do mingo.

TheState of Iowa is great not only in territorv and wealth, but in magnanim it v. We are never surprised by any re port of its good deeds or brave thoughts. Within that valiant State is now growin* up, without commotion or the blowing of trumpets, an educational institution which is solving one of the most vexatious of educational problems—that of discipline in the colleges and professional schools of America. The Iowa Agricultural College, under the charge of the Hon. A. S, Welch, an educator of long experience and of great sagacity, has had the courage to say to its students, "The good order of this little community is chiefly your affair. Take it into your own hands. Organize and then govern yourselves!" The organization growing out of this permission has taken from as follows: The occupants of thecollegebuilding are divided into several sections, two of ladies and five of gentlemen the sections corresponding with the halls in which they room. At the opening of the term each section meets, ratifies the rules of order, and chcoses a judicial officer. The seven officers so chosen constitute a council or court. A captain and lieutenant are next chosen, who have charge of the section, and report anv violation of law to the council. The council at a regular meeting tried the offender, and if he is found guilty, records the offender by means of certain marks. When these marks reach five in number against any student, he is privately warned bv the I resident when they reach ten, "he is again warned and his friends are also informed of the fact when thev reach fifteen he is required to leave the col We This admirable system of educational de-' mocracy has now been tried two years and is working with absolute «nrnp« Golden Aqe.

MR. FITZ-HC.HES' EXPERIMENT.

Mr. Agustus Fitz-Humes pat in his luxurious bachelor establishment on street, and pondered deeply. The subject of his cogitations was a wife, or, rather, how to get one There was enough young ladies who would be glad to bless their lucky stars for the privilege of becoming mistress of his home, as he well knew but he ah'O felt tolerably well assured the home was all they cared for, For the fortune 'hey would wed owner. "Deuce take the money!" he exclaim ed. "I wish I'd never had a cent, and then—but botheration!—then I should have been to poor to marry, any way Why couldn't I have had just wealth enough for all my wants, and nothin_ more? I'll foil them, though, the mean adventuresses!"

its

A furious pull of the bell-cord brought the house-keeper to the room in a hurry "Pack up your traps, Mrs. Ashfield exclaimed abruptly "for I aiyi going to close the house."

It was evident, he had come to some conclusion. "Shut up the house, Air. Fitz-Humes! ejaculated the housekeeper, almost believ ing she had lost her reason. "Why, such a thing has not occurred since your la mented uncle took possession five and forty years ago!" 'That makes no difference, ma'am I'm master here now, and I shall close it for thepresent. Meanwhile yonr pay can still go on, and that of sn6h domestic a* you consider indispensible. Have you no relatives you wish to visit?" he en qpired.

That settled it. The proffer to con tinue pay removed Airs. Ashfield's scru pies quite effectually. She then remem bered she had friends she had not seen for years.

Three days later,'"Mr. Agustus Fitz Humes was safely domiciled in a quiet boardsng-house, and shortly afterwards he began to sell his diamond rings, and seals, and. other paraphernalia of fashion able life, as well as to dress himself in plainer clothes. A rumor that his prop erty had been lost through an unlucky speculation was soon afloat.

He lost friends rapidly. By twos and threes they ceased to know him on the street. He only laughed and snapped his fingers at them behind their back. Had his adversity been real, he would not have felt like laughing.

Then came the time when this circle got narrowed down to three. But three 01 all his former friends still clung to him true in adversity. It is no wonder that he grew misanthropic,

Out upon the street, one day, he met a carriage containing some of his former acquaintances, who had been absent from the city since he closed his house. He thought they would not notice him but each inmate of the carriage bowed politely as of old. "They have not heard the news," he muttered, cynically.

He wa3 mistaken. That night the owner of the carriage came to see him. Bather close quarters, my friend," he said as he took a calm survey of Augustus's not very pretentious surroundings. "Pretty close, that's a fact," said Air. Humes, icily. "But since I lost my prop-

to vote, but are denied the privilege of knew you needed friends

parallel to the magnanimity of our government towards the Southern traitors With the exception of a few leaders—who turned their hands against the life of the nation after taking an oath, as office' holders, to support the constitution—all are restored to the same political rights and privileges as are enjoyed by the men who conquered the rebellion.

cried his auditor,

abruptly, "and that is why I came, I

offer the position of head

clerk in my conn ting-room. Will you accept it?" "Ahem!" Well, I will think of it. But it is a long way from mv boarding house." You can board in my family as a—wall, as a sort of guest, you know.'

Augustus lcoked him over closely Kenben Stanley w&i a wealthy manvery wealthy, he was called—and in his face there was nothing to warrant the suspicion that he had learned Augustus' secret, and wished to curry favor, aiding him while under an apparent cloud so that idea was speedily dismissed. Of course, he quickly thanked him and cepted.

Once cosily snugged in Stanley's mansion, it was not long before he wondered why he had not noticed Nelly Stanley before. She did not seem to feel above him, notwithstanding the wide difference in their positions, and treated him as cordially—more cordially, he though*— than before the change in his fortunes. He would not have been human had he not learned to love her.

The climax came when she gave a grand party. Then, befoie the elite of the city, she did not hesitate to rsceive attentions from him, on which but one con struction could be placed. He thought her quite a heroine, and asked no further proff than she could love him.

The next afternoon they met in her father's library, where he had waited to see her. "Nellie, he said, as soon as the usual courtesies had been exchanged, "I come to you this morning to learn my fate. I know the difference in our positions, and would not urge you—only let your heart decide. Aly heart I lay before you."

Confederation is just now the favor ite method of preserving the cohesion of the. British Empire. In spite of the somewhat partial success of the Canadian experiment, it was announced in the House of Commons last week that a Government measure was in preparation to provide for a Confederation of the British West Indian Islands. These dependencies rank under sixteen different denominations, comprise an area of some ninety thousand square miles, and contain a lit tie over a million of people. Of the number, probably about two-thirds are of the negro race. The larger proportion of the white residents are of a commercial and official, and consequently migra-l intuitively, and giving labial emphatory character. It is difficult to perceive I si' how any amount of legislation could make a West Indian Dominion anything more but a unity on paper. It might save the salaries of a few subordinate Governors and their mimic Courts, but there is no truly Democratic principle which the mother country or the white

She blushed prettily, and seemed confused for a moment,then she gave him her hand. 'T have loved yon, Oso long!"she said,

And I feared that you would never love me. You were so jealous before you lost your wealth that all women were mere adventuresses. I was heartilly glad when papa said you had lost it, and

You sent him to negotiate with me!" cried Augustus, finishing the sentence

her father's. "Agustus," said his wife one day, "I have a favor to ask of you—will you grant it?" "I will, if exclaijned. "Well poor papa is rather short of money—won't you lend him ten or fifteen thousand?"

Why you know—"

"OH! I know what you have been pretending," was the quick reply. But then it wasn't so—you never lost vour money."

Agustus Fitz-Humes was dumb with astonishment and chagrin. "How did you find that out?" he gasped. "I knew it all the time. When I heard that you were penniless, papa went directly to our banker and learned the contrary. I think we managed shrewdly." '•I think you did," cried her husband, desperately "but do you think I'll endure it?" "How can you help yourself? We are married now—will you apply for a divorce?" "No I won't!" "Then what

"Answer me one question: Do you really love me?" "Yes, I do." "Well, if you

A certain French professor at the college of Saintes, in Charente Inferieure, has recently, succeeded in actually bottling the sun's rays and utilizing' thein

at pleasure. This a great discovery for the chemist, but how much greater thing it would be if some one would teach us to bottle up the snnshine in our hearts, so that we might utilize it when the dark clocds of sadness and -sorrow obscure our mental heavens! There is no summer sky which is not sometimes overcast with dark and lowering clouds yet even the most frowning of these has its silver lining, if we could only be taught to see it through the gloom. The minis never withdrawn from the heavens behind the aumulous mass it shines on as bright and joyous as erewhile it shone the wall that hides it is but vapor, and must quickly pass away and leave revealed the golden glories of yesterday or to-morrow. So if we could ikittle up the sunshine of our happier life and use it at will to melt the vapors that must sometimes come athwart our mental horizon, ,liow nitielP brighter and more joyous would be our lives! Let lis try the ex pei iinent. If the sunshine of nature can be confined to-da for use to-morrow, can not the brightness of the golden moments of our life be caught and- held till they are.needed to illuminate (he days that must else be dark? There is "bottled sun shine" in the reflection that "The gloomiest day hath gleams of light

The darkest wave hath bright foam near it And twinkles through the cloudiest night Some solitary star to cheer it."

RAILROADING IN' OLDEN TIMES

Experience of a Veteran Conductor.

William Hambright. an old conductor on the Pennsylvania Central road, who, we are told, is familiarly known throughout the State as "Cap," "Gappie," "Pap," or "Conductor Hambright," K&s given to the Columbia (Pa.)

Courant

some account

of his experience. Air. Hambright commenced his career as conductor by taking the first train (horse cars) out of Lancaster, in 1833, after which time he run regularly, and has been employed nearly all the time since as passenger conductor on the Pennsylvania Central railroad. He then acted as conductor, brakeman and greater, his compensation being eighteen.dollars per month, which was considered good wages at that time.

His train of horse cars would leave Lancaster at 5 o'clock p. m., and arrive in Philadelphia at 5 o'clock the next morning, making twelve hours for the journey and the lare chaged was $3 50." Stoppages were frequent, fresh horsesbeing employed every fifteen miles. At times they would be greatly detained by severity of the weather, the winters in those times being much colder than at the present day.

There was no fire in the cars, and when stop was made to change horses the conductor would make for the nearest haystack or barn for the purpose of pro curing hay or straw to strew upon the floors of the cars in order to make his passengers more comfortable, himself riding outside, the cars generally being packed so full that he could scarcely gain admission. Down grade the horses were always kept at a full run.

Horse flesh was very cheap then— sometimes five good animals could be purchased for $100. In the year 1835 a locomotive, built by Norris, was brought from Philadelphia to Lancaster in wagons (why it was not brought by rail we did not learn) however, the wonderful machine was put upon the track and fired up in presence of an immense assemblage ol spectators. It appears the enterprise was not very successful, as it would run a short distance and then halt then number of muscular men would lend their assistance by pushing. Every device was resorted to to make the critter go, but to no purpose. Some time after this three small engines were purchased in England and sent over, which answered all the purposes for which they were in tended, one of which is in use at the present time in York, Pa., sawing wood.

The Harrisburg and Portsmouth railroad, as it was then called, being laid upon strong pieces of wood, using flat-bar iron fastened down with spikes, it was necessary to carry hammer and spikes on the engine. Very often spikes would come out from the end of the bar, causing the end of the same to stick up, which were termed "snake-heads," and the en gineer would be obliged to stop and spike down before attempting to pass over. Information had to be given to the engineer before starting where stops were to be made.

Here we may state that to Air. Hambright belongs the credit of inventing the bell and rope system for signaling engi neers. He got permission from his boss" to put his idea of the thing into practicable shape. Procuring a rope and common door bell, he attached the latter near the engineer, no house being over the locomotive at that time, then stretched the rope over the top of the cars. Ever after that and up to the present time bell ropes have been in vogue, though in a more approved style than the one just die scribed.

Conductors were not required to make reports at the end of each trip, as is now practiced they would hand over the gold and silver—perhaps two or three hundred dollars or more—to the clerk, who would enter it in a book provided for the purpose, somewhat in this wise: "Conductor Hambright, so many dollars," and that was all the formality about it.

Checks for baggage were not used, but when the cars arrived in Columbia or Philadelphia, the conductor would open the car door for the delivery of baggage, &c, to the passengers who crowded around and secured their parcels by answering, "Aline," to the conductor's interrogatory, "Whose trunk is this?" which was kept up until all disappeared. If a trunk was marked "B," it was to go by stage line. Strange to say, there was not as much baggage lost then as now.

Very often the conductors would'help the proprietors of the lines during harvest, and assist at other labor when off duty.

DOWN GrOJIHE PRICES. HIGH PRICED STORES MUST STAND ASIDE

CABPETS are very cheap this year, and we intend the public shall know it and shau gei the benefit of the decline. Buy no last year's goods they are dear and very likely motheaten and damaged. Buy only new. clean, fresh goods, and what is eiualiy important, buy o»ly well known makes. It costs Carpet Stores twenty cents on a dollar for every yard of Carpet they sell, and so in order to make any show at all of com pet ing with us they are torccd to buy shoddy id unknown makes of Carpets, which they endeavor to palm ofi on their customers as "H_ad Loom" or "Family" Caroets.

Wo keep only the best brands, such as Rifion.s, Lowells and Hartforus in the grades of "Extra." "Super Extra" and "Supei Extra Super." and the very best mako* of "Imperial three-ply" ana English Tapestry Brussels.

Our Stock is New and Fresh!

Opening of the Spring Campaign? di CHEARTHE ECKS FOR ACTION

The popular current runs strongly in our favor. High priced stores are empty. Will there be more "deserted palaces" soon We are of the people and for the people. We know neither aristocrats or plebians. All are alike in our eyes. "Worth makes the man and want of'it the fellow." We believe in small profits and big trade.
