The president is expected to modify the sentence in Sergeant Mason's case.

Guiteau is becoming taciturn, and has at last arrived at the conclusion that he must hang.

What has become of the postal savings bank scheme? It is too good a plan to be allowed to die 1

Anti-polygamy meetings continue to be popular, but they have not had much effect on congress yet.

It is understood that the house committee on sgriculture will report adversely the bill to establish an agricultural department.

Sergeant Mason has been interviewed. He is at present stowed away in a miserable hole in which a prison cell would be a palace in comparison.

Oscar Wilde lectured to an audience of seventy in Racine, Wis., the other evening. Such an evidence of the abuse of (esthetic culture is alarming.

No better ticket was ever made in Hartison township than was nominated last Saturday by the Republicans. When completed it will be invincible before &e people.

It will be interesting to know what the New York Sun thinks of John Russell Young's nomination to the Chinese mission. Dana must be rapidly losing his admiration for the president.

They got up a "citizens' greenback and democratic ticket" in Bangor, Maine, the either d»y to defeat the republicans, but were just 900 yotes short when the ballots were counted. Last year the republican majority was only 22.

Shipberd has been notified to be in Washington to-day to tell what he knows concerning Chili-Peiuvisn affairs. If he fails to appear he will be tent after and compelled to tell all he knows. There is every indication that the investigation will be thorough.

The trial of Bill Jones for an attempt to kill Ouiteau will not be reached before next fall. The culprit is out on bail, and his attorneys are confident that he will be acquitted. Jones himself declares that he will be able to prove an alibi, and that the shooting at the van was the crazy freak of a drunken man.

During the eigbt months ending with February last the value of brcadstufifs exported was $135,000,000, agaiost $182,000,000 for the corresponding eight months last year. The wheat decreased 35,000,000 in quality, and $32,000,000 in value. The flour decrease was over $6,000,000 com $8,000,000, and rye, $1,000,000.

The Republicans of Harrison township did a very sensible and just act by renomnating Louie Finkbiner for Trustee by acclamation. He is a model officer—one of the kind of men who should be sought by the public as office-holders. He is modest in pushing his own claimB, industrious, energetic, hind hearted to the poor with whom he has so much to do, and carefol of the public means entrusted to him. He attends to the public business as if it were his own. Hia triumphant re-election is already assured.

In speaking of the failure of the present liquor traffic laws in New York city and state the Herald says: 1. It should be a law which would restore respectability to the retail traffic. 2. It should be a law which would largely restrict the number of licences. 3. It should be a law which would enlist every holder of a license by self-interest as a helper In the suppression of unlicensed Maes, and in the detection of violations of licenses. 5. It should be a law which would subject every license holder to a rigorous supervision of his business by public authorities, with ample power to revoke his license it it is abused.

A law of that kind would be the proper thing in Indiana, and it is a wonder that men engaged in the business legitimately do not undertake to secure the passage of some such provision

1STHWA3 JOB.

Probably the moftt 8ncces«ful lobbyist, in the iutereet of engineering schemes, this country has ever pr ad need is Capt. James £. Eade. His proposed ship railroad across the isthnro. has been denounced in all quarter^ 'fit in the face of all denunciation lie has actually prevailed upon a committee of senators to report favorably a bill in which the government guarantees him $50,000,000 for his road. The committee report and accompanying documents have all been published, but they fail to conviace people of the wiedom of an endorsement of the scheme. The thin argument that if the government dees not guarantee hia bonds it will lose all control of the question of isthmus transit was advanced, and seems to have been very convincing. Here was what Eada and his attorney, Mr. Cochrane, had to say about it. The latter eaid: •,

There is another thought tlwt I desire to suggest. Suppose the government were to say to Eads: "Go and secure this money from private capitalists In this country, without any guarantees, and build this road." Suppose he would undertake to do that and expose his stock for sale, do you not see that his stock or the controlling interest in his company mightwell be secured by English capitalists? There would be nothing to prevent them from purchasing a controlling interest In the stock of the company.

Mr. Eads—The point Mr. Cochrane now makes leads to the conclusion that if there were abundant private capital to-day in New York to build the road it would not be safe for the United States to permit that to be done without accepting this proposition, because the conception gives the right to the company to get the aid of any other foreign government, not of any two foreign governments, but of any other one, and the United States, having once accepted- this proposition, would shut out any other foreign government from entering Into it That is a complete answer to the declaration which Is frequently made: "II this Is a good thing there ought to be no trouble in Mr. Eads' getting private capital to build the road." There is no trouble in thejjorld In my getting the capital to build. There would b9 trouble in getting it in America, but if I got it elsewhere it would be dangerous to the interests of the United States.

The Chairman—That is one of the points on which I should like to hear Capt. Eads, for I think it is very Important

Mr. Eads—It is immensely important It has political significance that is of Immense Importance. If I were asking a guarantee of 20 per cent, dividend on this stock it would not be the part of wisdom for the United States to refnse it under that peculiar clause which Mexico has put in the ecsslon, and which I had a long struggle to get from her. it was utteily refused in the first place, because it is a very unusual thing to permit-any foreign government to have any part or parcel la any way in the affairs of that"country.

Mr. Eads seems to be v.ery uneasy lest our government should lose anything by failing to endorse him, and he seems to be the only person, outside of Congress, who takes such a deep interest in the welfare of the country. He should "at once be given to understand that the government is going to take no stock in his venture. The Monroe doctrine is a poor theory which the government cannot enforce, and all the loud talk about it in congress is merely buncombe. Let Mr. Eads go ahead and dispose of his whenever be can, and the United States will take its chances upon probable gains or losses.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.

We published yesterday an article from Ihe Cleveland Herald relating to the lighting of that city by the electric light placed on masts. To-day we copy an article on the same subject from the Cleveland Leader. The opinions of these papers are decidedly favorable to the new illuminator. As a committee ot our city council will go this week to examine for themselves, we shall scon know authoritatively the real merits of the new plan. We have published many opinions relating to the electric light, pro and con, as the subject is an impprt&nt one and involves the expenditure of considerable money. The enterprise ehould be entered upon, if at aU, with caution, in order that no mistake may be made.

If the electric light is* a good thing, Terre Haute ought to have it. We have no doubt that it is a very superior illuminator, but whether it has beeiS brought to that degree of perfection that warrants the city, in its municipal capacity, in adopting it—whether the light haa progressed beyond the field of experiment—are the important questions which the council, we believe, are earnestly desiring to solve. To this end money, and lime expended in going to see the light where it in alleged successful operation are well spent. It is advisable to "make ha*te Blowly" in this important matter involving a revolution in the mode of lighting the city.

Oa Sunday morning the army and navy edition of the New York Herald contained the following, which reflects the sentiments of most of the officers in and around Washington:

The alleged letter written by General Garfield to Salmon P. Chase while the latter was secretary ol the treasury, has been the reigning sensation ol the week, and next to the crime of Guiteau himself nothing more shocking has occurred than the eagerness of the faction he'had enraged in his party to murder the dead man's reputation upon the toinb in which the country had laid him with tears. Passion, it seems, can blind men and women not only to the plainest dictates of propriety, but to the damaging consequences in which their acts are certain to recoil on their own heada Here we have the most sacred confidence between two men, both now in their graves, betrayed an eminent hero of the war, coming to the front in political life, gravely scandalized, bitterness, heartburning and recrimination revived, all apparently in the mere hojfe ol doing away with the good Influence that lingers around the name of James A. Garfield, and makes It potent for reform and progreit'. This is worse than indecent, It is fiendish. We were not among the original admirers of Gen. Sarfield, and, of course, opposed his election, but his sufferings, his heroic facing ot slow coming death, commanded our sympathy and respect in common with thoee of the civilised world, and we are quits sure that his posthumous and ghoulish foes have made the fatal mistake of striking their blow too soon, while the sick room ef Elberon is in everybody's mind and heart

As to the letter about which such a terrible circumstance is made, we see nothing in it more than might have been written by an ambitious young man about to enter political life to a powerful Cabinet Minister whose friendship he was anxious to bind to him. Secretary Chase undoubtedly wished the war to come to a speedy dace, because upon him fell the burden of providing the money to carry it on of a "million an hourr" and he was no William Pitt To khow zeal In this direction and sympathy with the financial secretary's impatience was natural in this Intimate, friendly, and confidential correspondence, now so basely betrayed long after either party ean make any explanation. .=

The Atlantic cable companies are talking about a consolidation, which means monopoly and higher tolls.

SOME TACTS ABOCT SEW TOM CUT. Recently the New York Sun publish!# a lengthy editorial in which some interestiog facta were related in regard to the metropolis. At the commencement of the present year Manhattan Island had 340i miles of paved streets, of which 20 miles were granite and traphlock, and fifteen, miles were paved last year. The rapid increase cf the wagon traffic of late years hae made street improvements imperative-, and driven invariably make use of the best streets.

The foilowing~is a summary of*tfcePbnderground structures of the city: Miles. Miles. Sewers. JSSI Pneumatic tube*.«... Water mains 5121 Tubes tat telegraph Gas pipes ....885 wires _1J^ Steam pipes*........... 11 Tubes tor electric .| wires,. —.7

TVtal..... ^.l ...S^» —.1,78968-100 Last year permits were granted to lay pipes for wires to the Ediron Company, 10.8 milef Unittd States Heating and Power Company, 5.6 miles New York Steam Company, -1.5 mile?. In 1881 eight miles oi pipe werejxid by ihe steam companies and eltctiic light companies, while the gas companit-a laid 14^ miles of gas mains. The und«tground struo turee are becoming popular and are increasing so rapidly that those already laid will have to be re-arranged to make room for others.

There are 23,521 public lamps, including 55 electric ones, by which the city is lighted, and the consumption of gas last year was 17,169,600 cubic feet. The electric light coats the same a* gas.

The Crotoo water service last year brought the city a revenue of $1,510,79177, which was a falling off of about $50,000 from the previous year, caused by the reduction in water raits The old rate was two cents per hundred gallons, while now it is only one cent. When the change was made the nnmber of meters increased from 1,812 to 5,293, through which there passes dally about 12,000,000 gallons, while the high service works distribute a like quantity. The aqueduct can furnish about 95, 000,000 gallons per day.' '.The water rates are lower than any otber large city similarly supplied. In Philadelphia the price is regulated by the number of faucets in each house. In Boston it costs $3.13 per head per year, while in New York the average is only $1.25 per head. New York also has 572 drinking hydrants or fount-iins in constant use in the city. It also has eight free floating baths, which were last year enjoyed by 2,381,209 mala and 1,117,323 female bathers.

Ci BET. DB. A. 0. BUKGESS. 1 Thfs'gentleman died at his hcTme lb Chicago yesterday afternoon, of heart disease. He was born in New York state in 1829. His mother died when he was quite young, which. caused him to move west and take up his residence with a brother in Illinois. He was early imbued with religious feeling, and although his education was crude, he preached and taught school. After becoming a member of the church he concluded be must better his condition, and at once went to Alexander Campbell, the founder of the Christian church at Bethany college, West Virginia, who was favorably impressed with the boy and gave him facilities for eompleting his education. He graduated, paying his expenses by filling several pulpits in the country about the college. After hia return to Illinois he married, and soon became connected with Eureka college. As a popular evangelist of the Christian church he soon became widely known. At the breaking out of the war he raised a company, be: came its captain, and served at Fort Donelson and Shilob, in McClernand's-com-mand. His health .failed him, and he was compelled to return home, never fully recovering from his exposures in the field. He went to Indianapolis in 1863, and for six years was pastor of the Christian Central chapel, which he resigned to become president of Butler university in 1870, an office which be held for two years. He then removed to Chicsgo, but returned to Indianapolis in 1876 and resumed the presidency of Butler university, which position he held until last year. In 1880 he was a candidate for the republican nomination for governor of this state, and, although unsuccessful, made many efficient speeches during the campaign. His wife survives him, bat he hss no children. He was noted as a philoeopical thinker on religious subjects and made especial mark in theological polemics. His funeral will take place to morrow from his church in Chicsgo.

No better man than Lawrence Bnrget could have been nominated for assessor by the Republicans. He is a thorough business man, unexceptionable in character, and has had experience in assessing besides, as a soldier he rendered excellent service and suffered hardships and injuries in the cause of hia country. Hs has been called by his fellow republicans from an honorable private station to serve the people in a public capacity, and there is little or no doubt that the voters at large will confirm the choice.

The Indians are not yet to be allowed to own land in severalty. While it is admitted that they are entitled to have a sure title to their lands to be held in common, yet it will be years before they will be able to take care of themselves on independent homesteads, and on every account they should be saved that experiment. For this reason congress will refuse to vote the Indians land in severally. ..

APPLICATION FOR MORE ASSISTANCB. WASHINGTON, March 14.—The Secretary of War received a telegram from the Commissioners for the State of Louisiana, at NewOrleans, as follows: "We are supplying el$vcii thousand souls for fifteen aayswith curtailed rations from the one hundred and sixteen thousand received, which are now exhausted. Applications are before us for fully

as

much more and the distress is

increasing. We require at once one hundred and fifty thousand rations additional:"

The Secretary ordered the jpnrohase of hundred thousand rations at New Orleans, •MM meet the demand. eSTTIKQ TBS FACTS.

A

WASHINGTON, March 14.—The Secretary of War has -telegraphed General Beck with, at St. Louis, about sending Army officers to various points in Louiai ana to make detailed reports ef tbe destitution. He has also instructed the Commissary General to have 10,000 rations forwarded to the commissioners for lis for relief of Shawneetown.

THE DETAILS GBOW "WOBSKST. Louis, March 14.—Gen. BecWith, of the Commissary Department, who has charge of government rations from this city to the flooded districts.on the lower Mississippi river, has received the following dispatch from Capt J. S. Louds, dated Memphis: "Just arrived here. Found Pemiscot county, Missouri, in a distressing condition, Deing almost entirely, submerged and about 1,300 people entirely destitute. The supplies sent Gayoso are being carefully distributed and will last until about March 25th. More should be sent theie as the people will be in just as bad a con dition when the Water goes down. The government, to prevent starvation, should care for them at least until May 1st. About fifty people are destitute at Hathaway, Tennessee 150 atTiptouville 200 at Haler Point ia Tennessee 150 at Bayfield Point, and 1,500 in the vicinity of Osceola, Ark,, are destitute aad badly in want At Osceola some stores have been received hot not sufficient"

General Beckwith has also received the following from Captain Lee, dated Memphis: "Returned here Saturday night. My dispatch oi the 9th inst. falls short of actual destitution and magnitude of the overflow. If an additional appropriation is made five hundred thousand rations o£ meal and meat should be sent here as soon as possible for sufferers in the state of Mississippi. This, in addition to any rations that may not yet be sent from the first appropriation. Destitution is general and increasing, and there are 9,000 destitutes in Bolivar county alone. My estimate will carry the sufferers through to the tenth of April, and possibly the flood may subside by that time so that the sufferers can begin work.

Captain Lee has been directed by General Beckwith to take charge of the little steamer Anita, which left here yesterday, and proceed ot once on the mission designated for her, to-wit: the picking up of parties of destitute people in the flooded districts and taking them to dry land and shelter where they can be fed in comfort and health.

A SAD RECITAL.

MEMPHIS, March 14.—The avalanche's Helena, Ark., special Bays: The committee of relief was buaily engaged to-day in despensing the country's charity where it is most needed. Rations for four hundred people were given out to-day. The supply here is nearly gone, and a new lot will be looked for anxiously. The situation at Trenton proves to be worse than first reported. There are perhaps 250 destitute people there, and new additions being made daily. A letter from Lower Mooney township states that there is no food for stock in the country, and asking that the same be sent, if the Government has begun to issue anything in that line. Advices similar to this are being received from all directions, and give an idea of the tefrible condition of the animals in the flooded districts which have not yet been provided for. A colored woman, Martha Green, with two children, got off the steamer Djan Adams here to-day, and waa among many others flying from the devastation of the flood near Riverton. She was utterly destitute, and presented a God picture, as with tattered garments and sunken cheeks she and her children roamed up and down the levees, not knowing what course to pursue. When the overflow first oame, carrying off their little log cabin and with it a'll their personal effects, her husband had gone on a boat to Memphis, he said, to procure assistance, but that was the last seen of him, and he had been drowned or had left to rid himself of his starving dependents. Some ladies later in the afternoon took the poor creatures in hand and provided provisions and shelter for them. The experience of this poor woman is the experience of thousands who are to-day without means of their own to enpport themselves for the coming few weeks, when the bottoms will again be tillable.

Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 14.—Secretary Hunt received a cable message from James Gordon Bennett at Paris as follows: "I have transferred the-steamer Lena to Lieutenant Harber and notified him accordingly. She was put at my disposal by the present owner until September 1st. As some repairs will be necessary to put her'in order for the use of the search party, will you telegraph Harber giving him authority to take charge of the Lena on arrival at Irkutsk, undertake repairs &c."

The Secretary telegraphed Lieutenant Harber directing him to take charge of the steamer and have the nesessary repairs made. ,-v

M.': DB. I.AMSON., LONDON, March 14.—Conned for the defense in the trial of Dr, Lamson in his argument, pointed out that it had been proved that Percy John had suffered from neuralgia and rheumatism, for which aconetine is a remedy. Tbere was a missing link, he said, in the case of the prosecution,namely, it was not proved that the quinine powders containing aconetine foond in possession of the deceased were given him by the prisoner, while there was no doubt he supplied him with the other inoxious ones which were found. The pereroration was very pathetic. The counsel referred to the miserable future of the life of the prisoner's wife if he should be convicted, and appealed to tbe jury to judge as they would be judged.

The Solicitor General, replying on behalf of the prosecution, said he thought tbe jury might at once dismiss the idea that the death of John was due to natural causes. Ha argued that though it was difficult to advance precedents concerning aconitive poisoning, the result of the analysis was decisive as to the existence of aconitive in the vicera of the deceased, which could only have been supplied by the prisoner.

Justice Hawkins then summed up. He said the prisoner was entitled to the benefit of aiiy doubt. The charge, although disclaiming any intention of anticipating the decision of the jury, seemed to be against the prisoner. He mentioned the latter's anxiety to leave the house minutes after he had administered what the prosecution allege was the poisoned capsule to the deceased.

At the conclusion of Justice Hawkins' charge, the jury retired. They retured a verdict ot guilty, in half an hoar, and the prisoner was sentenced to death. :i. J?» ,tv-en i-

Shepherd Dogs of the Sockies. One herder, whom we met at Cold Spring ranche, showed us a very pretty shepherd dog that he said he would not sell for $600. Sheliad at that time four puppies. The ni^ht we arrived we yislted Ms. camp, ana were greatly interested in the.little mother and her nursing babies.' Amid those wild, vast mountains this little nest of motherly devotion and baby-trust was very beautiful. While we were exclaiming, the assistant herder came to say there were more than twenty sheep missing. Two male dogs, both larger than the little mother, were standing about, with their hands in their breeches pocket, doing nothing. But the herder said neither Tom nor Dick would fiifil them. Flora must go. IV was urged by the assistants that Eer foot was sore, she had been hard at work all day, was nearly worn out, and must suckle her puppies. The boss insisted that she must go. The sun was setting. There was no tame to lose. Flora was called, and told to hunt for lost sheep, while her master pointed to a great forest, through the edge of which they had

She had been out all night, and, while her hungry babies were tugging away, fell asleep. I have never seen anything so touching. So far as I was concerned "there was not a dry eye ja the house." —Colorado Letter.

cleanest and nicest of the material used in com ruin vice, for grows upon one. There was a time when cigarette smoking was confined almost entirely to Cubans, who knew what good tobacco was and made their own cigarettes. Gradually the habit spread. Dealers followed suit. Makers beoame unscrupulous. Little dirty boys were sent out to pick up cigar stumps. Other equally disgusting material was also utilized. Opium was made to do duty. Cheap paper took the place of rice paper. I wish boys could see the stuff their paper is made from. Wouldn't it turn their little stomachs? I trow, I trow. The cheap paper, the old stumps, the opium ana the ohemicals used to make them "strong" deserve to be shown up. Parents have no influence with their sons. Why notP Because they smoke cigars and pipes themselves. The boys charge all the good advice they get to their fathers' desire to keep them down. There is but one way to deal with American boys. Reason with them through their eyes. If eveiy nicotined stomach was made public, if every time a fellow diied of too much cigarette the fact was made known, if the proud boys could be shown a rag factory and a stump grindery, it seems to me the cigarette business would be wound up very soon. .This is one of my hobbies lwish it were 'that of everybody.

Drawing the Line.

A little while ago one of the lei women of the Astorfamily, viewing wii alarm the increasing heterogeneity of New York society, f5t it to be her duty to revise her visiting list. She took a firm stand against new-comers, not from any snobbish instinct, or from any sense of superiority to people who were verv worthy in their way, you understand^ but simplv as a measure of protection in the interest of the old families. Jacob Astor, the furrier, lived before the flood. So t.hia lady gave a reception, or what not, and subjected the customary schedule of invitations to a merciless but wholly judicial process of excision. Among the names cut off were those of all the Vanderbilta, big and little. "I must draw the fine somewhere," she said afterwards to a friend," "and I shall draw it at the Yanderbilts."— New York Letter to Philadelphia Press.

Now and then one would emerge on a tour of inspection, even rummaging among the feathers of that silent thrbat, ana climbing upon the plumy breast, to press down the little body into the deepening grave.
