Indianapolis Times. Secretary Hawn, yesterday, in conversation with a Times reporter, said he had reason to believe the marriage associations, of which there were EO many a few months ago, bad almcst all been wound up, and he thought this had been done for the most part without Any one losing any great amount of money. When the Unior City association broke up, that opened the eyes of every one to the nature of the scheme, and all of the honorable and honeBt men who had been led into these associations, believing they were all right, speedily severed their connection when they found that their policy was unwise and unsafe. He did not believe the thing had gone far enough for any one to be greatly injured financially by the' breaking up of the associations.
Nclgbborhood Notes.
Hoosier State. The trial of Wm. Dawaoo for stealing two silver dollars off the eyes of -a dead man in Eugene, about six weeks ago, ended in his acquittal before Judge Davidson on last Thursday. It is.the opinion of many persons that Dawson was guilty, and that he ought to have one to the penitentiary for at least five years. He bad no means to employ a lawyer in his behalf, and at his request Judge Davidson appointed C. W. Ward to defend him, and it is believed that it was only through Mr. Ward's skillful management apd ingenuity as an attorney that Dawson is not to day in Stale's prison.

Aside from the interest attached to the views of Rome, tbe exhibition of last evening were the fiiie^t. The views were so perfect, each detail shining forth with such distinctness and delicacy, as to mark them the crowning triumph of the photographic art.
As one lopked «t those fine pictures of the city from Notre Dame, the winding Seine with its historic bridges, the lofty Pantheon, tjie noble Hospital des Invalided, the Louvre, the especially perfect Tailleries and Ste. Genevieve, he seemed to stand before the very buildinga.

so rapidly that to impossible. Those
of the Louvre, of the Grand Opera House, of La Madeleine, the inviting dinning Bseon. the Arc de la' Triomphe and the salon in the palace de Beausaiccourt were particularly fine and with the accompanying lecture excited keen interest. The tomb of Napoleon was shown as it is and accompanying it was the portrait of Napoleon taien from a mask moulded from the dead face of the conqueror. This DOSsesses great interest and is one of the. best of the Napoleonic pictures extant.
The exhibition included many repr*tentations of statuary of singular perfection and beauty.
The views apparently were not seen on the screen, but seemed projected forward in bold relief, as snowy masses of sculptured marble. First in interest and merit was the Venus of Milo, a perfect counterfeit of this sculptured glory-. The aduience frequently applauded as th=y saw the Gladiator, Bather, ATenus and the Shell, Milo of Crotona, the Nymph, the Washinglon of Iloudin and others portrayed with equal fidelity. All were delighted with the Raphael's Cherub and the more modern cherub that smiled to show his two little teeth. To close this satisfactory exhibition of the triumphs of French genios and taste were shown the four bas-relief4 from the Arc de la Triomphe, works of surpassing merit, followed by a composition beautiful as a drefcno, tbe Bode of Ages. This was, first the
Ptormy

the cioas of stone, then the brilliant light hung upon it the clinging figure and the angels appeared. The entire programme
WM ft most agreeable entertainment, telling more of Parisian jrondert thftn could be gained from a whole book of travels, stamping upon the brain vivid realities.
Tbe accompanying remarks of ProfCromwell were entertaining, combining information and humor. We must protest against tha P/ofessor, who pronounces other French names with elaborate correctness, calling tbe distinguished title of our city, which is purer French thas hotel bill of fare, by tbe plebiaa term of Terry Hut.
We bespeak a crowded house this afternoon and evening for Prof. Cromwell, who gives afar better entertainment than he premises, or we describe.
The Bank Bobbery.
The valises that were attached by Mr.Shannon, which belonged to the t*o men arrested for robbing Shannon's bank of $1,500, have not yet arrived in this city. The valises were searched but the $1,500 was not there, but ifi its stead were some clothing, etc. ..The Indianapolis Journal, of yesterday, hss this to say abont those
"One of the most successful, yet probable, pieces of detective work ever done in the state, was consummated yesterday morning by the recovery in this city of the money stolen on the day before from Shannon's bank at Terre Haute. Soon aiver the robbery occurred Capt. Campbell received Ulegrams. from the chief of police at Terre Haute saying: "Arrest young man of medium height wears dandy mustache and "look out for valises in the names of C. S. Hunt and George Cook." Thfc young man with the '"dandy mustace" could not be Identified, and it was not until 11 o'clock yesterday morning that the valises woe discovered. They had come in by the Adams Express company from Vinoennes, whence they had been forwarded immediately after the Robbery from Terre Haute. When the officers found the valises described in the telegram, they stopped their transit, and attempted to break them open and examine tbe content but Mr.i Rose, the agent, refused to let the property leave the office until it had been identified as the property wanted. It can then be taken as suspicious gocds, and the seals be broken. The officers are somewhat sgitated because the company refuses to surrender the property, and threaten this morning to have a search-warrant issued and Becure it by that means, or to arrest Mr. Rose as the agent of the company, on a charge of receiving stolen goods, with a view to obtaining the valise by that means.'|pp

Discovery st Coal.
DJEB MOINES, February 17.—Considerable excitement has been caused here among citizens, and slso in buBiness circles, by the discovery of a vein of pure cannel coal, in tbe last few weeks. It has been discovered in Red Rock township, Marion county, thirty miles below tbe city. It 'wai discovered on some farms in that township, by some parties who were prospecting for coal on the new line of the Wabash road into Des Moines. Finding it in a regular seam in one place, they tried in three or four other places, distant a mile or two, and found it there also. It is in a vein five feet thick, the lower two and one-half feet of which is pure cannel coal, and the other half coal much resembling^ Blossburg coal. Lafge quantities of it were brought to this city to day. It wa6 tried by the gas companies here, and pronounced fully equal to Virginia cannel coal. It burns to a white-gray asb. and oil oozes out of it an it burns A vein of six feet of common bituminous has also bteu found, sixty feet below this cannel cbal veid.

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—The following letter was written eau, to "Lucretia Garfield, Cleseland 0.": "DEAR MADAM—Humbly I address yon, trusting yoa will not turn a deaf car even upon despised Guiteau's sister. All these weary' months I have patiently waited until the-time should come for me to speftk, when, after the verdict, which I believed would be 'not guilty' by reason of insanity, I could say without shamefacedness that my heart bleeds for you and the sainted dead. My poor brother was not his own master when he fired that shot. Forgive and look with compassion''on him and me. I have counted the hours for tbe time when I should boldly say to you,as I have said from the moment when the terrible news was brought me, on that dark day in July, he was brain sick, deluded, crazy. Forgive him, even as Christ shall forgive us all. Both our,, martyred President and his family having shown such an example of Christian fortitude aud trust in the Most High as the world may well revere, led me to hope that tbe sense of wrong suffered would, when the truth was shown, be tempered wilfi that merciful fotgiveness which is indeed Christlike. All those dreadful weeks of the President's suffering I prayed that»the Father above us all would spare "his life. Day and night my beseeching cry went up'God save the President.' I thought he could not die. When the people of the whole world called mightily unto Him to interpose in his behalf, I said, surely He will show forth His glory but alas, the tenderest care of wife, family ahd friends, the prayers of the people, could not move the Ruler of the Universeto countermand the decrees of His all-wise and mysterious providence could not keep bis poor, despoiled body, his grandly beautiful soul. Despite the vigils, the tears and the prayers of his family, of the Nation, of the world, the midnight .bells were tolled, the midnight cry was heard, 'The President is dead!' We gazed upon the lifeless clay. 'Gone! Gone!! to dwell with the glorified saints of the Lord,' and we shed our tears without stint, and we said, 'Is there no God Truly it was a grievous wrong. The Lord and He alone can judge where lies the moral responsibility. This people are in His hand. They walk on holy ground it befits them that they see to it, putting off their feet the unclean ahoes of- their worldly walking, being shod with the sandals of rightousness, that they tread carfully, tenderly to the end, that justice and truth and mercy shall prevail. In July, when it was reported that the suffering President was likely to recover, I wrote a letter to you stating the facts in my brother's life and everything of this case, thinking that both yourself and the President would be glad to know that a poor, crazy man had done the deed, instead of the hardened wretch he was painted. At the time- it was reported that the President was interested in every
thing regarding the terrible affair, that lie id tender pool 1 had forgiven him?' Oh, that I might know from his own wife if that were true! The sainted Garfield knows from that he 'had to do it', and I feel sure if be could speak he would say forgive that deluded man, even as I forgive him. 'Safely keep him "from doing any harm, but forgive mm.' "I never sent the letter. The report came almost immediately that the Presiwas worse, and I knew you would not wish to be troubled with anything from Guiteau's sister. I had hoped by waiting to come before jou with abetter showing, vindicated so far as insanity is an excuse for crime, but my heart burns .within me, and, not Withstanding that unjust verdict and barbarous sentence, I must speak. My brother is shut away from the world for months in a tomb-like cell, not a ray of sunshine, not a blade of grass, not a flower, not a bird, not a friend to speak a kind word. Who is there to speak in his behalf, if not his heart-broken sister Bid I not speak, the very stones would cry out. His sainted mother, the purest and noblest of women—that mother who gave her life for his, who suffered torture for seven long years because of his birth-, until death made her free that father, tender and kind, but mistaken in his direction of the boy, would, if possible, make their voices heard from beyond the grave, even as I .verily believe would the glorified Garfield cry out in horror at that verdict. What of that vcrdict? Was it according to truth, justice, and mercy
even said tenderly, 'I wonder what that fellow would think it he knew that
Mrs. Scovillc then reviews in her own way the evidence and incidents of the trial, during which she says Guiteau was "not born right, raieed right nor married right." She concludes as follows: •"Pour forth to your merciful heart the pleadings of one who must ever feel a sister's love for an insane, mother!^ boy, even though by the whole world condemned and despised. I beg you, let me say to yoti and yours what he would say if in his right mind: "Forgive, even as Christ shall forgive us all.' With the utmost soirow and respect I remain sincerely yours.

"*rf Trade Revtepr NEW YORK. NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—So many disturbing elements have been at work that trade generally is somewhat depressed, with a downward tendency in prices, in sympathy with the tumble in the great staples, cotton, grain and provisions. There have been some shipments of silver bars, but there is no talk of any more gold being shipped at present. The course cf thediy goods business has been somewhat irregular, and spring trade opens slowly. Tnere has been a steady and rapid decline on wheat during tbe week, until it has re icbed a price at which there are buyers for export. The risult is that the market i* steady at the close, at some advance. Corn followed wheat, but the decline was not as large. The transactions aggregate larger amounts than were ever known in the Produce Exchange since iisestablishment. Lard and pork were weak, and the market closes barely steady. Cotton is probably twenty points lower than a week ago the business has been a large one. Cills for wool are regular, with a slight advance in the finer grades of fleeces. Manufacturers are fairly well supplied, and Bhow no disposition to buy more than is requisite for the supply cf immediate wants. The feeling in the trade is good. On tccount cf the increased demand for freight room for grain, freights on this srticle have advanced. Large sales uf steel rails are reported, though at very low rates In boots and shoes the demand is somewhat better, though the spring trade does not open very actively. Lirge amounts of winter, goods were sold by retailers last month, and a much better trade is expected for seasonable goods. Manufacturers are receiving a fir amount of orders for spring good?. The leather
trade
is
Quiet,
and prices remain unchanged. It is thought that (he spring business will be smaller than last year. Tbe demand for Brazil grades of cofiee is better, and the market stronger milder grRdts are in fair consumptive demand and prices steady fair cargoes' of Rio are nominally quoted at 9$c. In raw sugars the demand is light fair refining ii quoted 7o„ nominally no salos. Tea is ^fUiet, but the consumptive demand is pretty good and prices firm. Butter
is
unchanged prices still rule high there is more question of finding the qualities needed than of considering the prices good butter is in good demand at.firm prices.

The 'Lime Kib Olub on the "Bvriers of American Libert?" The secretary of the Lime Kiln Club •rted the following inquiry from the erf Secretary of State of J*ew Jersey: "Are the barriers of American liberty being gradually demolished!1"
The question being open for discussion, Trustee Pullback stud he couldn't see any signs of- such calamity, When an Amexicaii oould open a grocery in one end of a building,, a saloon in the other, and a poker room upstairs, it didn't look as if American, liberty was in very great danger.
Samuel Shin said he had carefully studied the subject of the barriers of liberty for many years past, and he had of late come to tne conclusion that so long as a red-faced young'man could blow a brass horn all the evening next dOor to where a child lay dying, the barriers were all right and souna as a dollar.
Giveadam Jones observed thathe also kept his eye peeled for any sigas that a central government was seeking to undermine the barriers erected by Washington and cemented by the Blood of patriots., When an American could sit on dry goods boxes all summer and make charily support him all winter, there need be no alarm for the safely of the Republic.
Several other members spoke in the same vein, and the president dosed the
Longevity Among the Bich and PoolBaron Kolb, of Germany, has recently given some interesting statistics concerning the comparative vitality of children under various methods of feeding. Of 100 children nursed by their mothers only 18.2 died during the first year of those nursed by wet nurses, 29.83 died of those artificially fed, 60 died of those brought up in institutions, 80 died to the 100.

Their influence ever shines with, an unusullied light which softens and purifies the wayward impulses of the youthful mind, and guides it onward in its course toward heaven. How, then, can we pay just tribute to our mothers— with what measures of gratitude and affection shall we 'requite them for their maternal care?
To those who have lost their mothers in early life, there is the hallowed spot, sacred to memory, where they retrospect the past—recall days and nights when their mothers kept watch over their sinless years, and where they may look forward, with faith and hope, to the blessed reunions of tbe everlasting future.
Friends may be torn from our hearts, hopes may be blasted, and our love for others may grow cold, yet every principle of gratitude and every feeling of virtuous sensibility requires that we should cling to our mothers and love them still.
Too Smart to Live "r
A dry-goo da house advertised lor a smart boy, and they got him. They put the smart boy behind the counter. The following is tne conversation that passed between him and his first customer:
Customer (picking up a pair of gloves) What are these? Smart Boy—Gloves. Customer—Yes, yes but what do you Afllr fnr tJiPtn?
Smart: Boy—We don't ask for them at all customers do that. Customer—You don't understand me. IIow do they come?
Smart Boy—Why, they come in pairs, of course. Customer—No, no how high do they come?
Smart- Boy—Just abOve the wrist, I believe. Customer—But what do you get for them?
Smart Boy—Me? I don't get nothing for them. Boss pockets all the money. Customer (losing patience)—What is the price of these gloves per pair?
Smart Boy—O, that's yer lav, is it? Why didn't you say so afore? One dollar.
That smart boy is too smart to exhale his smartness in a dry-^oods store. He should go to Congress nght off.

These figures are greatly at variance with received opinions upon the subject. It has long been supposed that the children of the poor are as a rule longer-lived than those of the wealthy. Baron Kolb's facts show that the reverse is true. The author gives some reasons for this marked difference in point of vitality between the two classes. The chief of these is, among the poor "the proper sanitary conditions and of such food and clothing as are needed to sustain the body properly wears upon the system and not only lays it open to the attacks of disease but makes it less capable of resistance to its incursions."
Oar Mothers.
In the formation of our character, we owe to our mothers more than any other human agency, for it is tbeir hands that first twine the tendrils of our hearts, guide our footsteps aright, lead us in the path of virtue, and in the dark, dreary night of pain, there watchful vigils keep beside the couch of their dear ones. Whose but the all-seeing eye of Jehovah can fathom the depths of anxiety they feel, and who can tell of the ceaseless prayers which they offer for their sinstricken children?
