Congressman Peirce has had a relapse.

Senator Hill is steadily declining in health, and realises that his end is drawing near.

The senate has passed the resolution granting tents to ths military encampment to be held in this, state next sum-

The repablican candidates for the various township offices are all good men, and deserving of the hearty support of the voters of the township.

The tobacco men are not satisfied with the determination of the majority in Congress (o let the tax remain as it is, so they have resolved to continue to lobby for some time to come.

Lawrence Bargett is an old Terre Haute boy. He is a first class business man, was a good soldier during the war and in every way qualified to fill the office for which he has been nominated. He should be elected by a large majority.

The senate committee on territories have agreed unanimously to report a bill for the admission of Southern Dakota to the Union, provided it has a population sufficient te entitle it to a representative in congress, the question to be settled by a census this summer.

Butler, of South Carolina, and Kellogg, of Louisiana, want congresse to reimburse them for thtir trouble in the past The former thinks $85,000 would be the proper figure, bat the latter's modeBty forbids him to ask more than $8,000. Probably congress will consider either figure too high.

The Massachusetts state authorities have asked the government to loan them heavy cannon for the use of the state militia, in order that they may acquire skill in such service as would be useful in the manning of its seacorst defences in case of war. It is generally conceded the request will be granted.

The St Louie Post-dispatch has an editorial letter from Washington, expressing an opinion on Guiteau. The writer thinks him very commonplace, eager to get money which he is gathering at the rate of $50 per day, and which he Bends principally to his publisher, who is getting out second edition to his book.

If Sergeant Mason is not pardoned it will be no fault of the people. Chicago has a petition whioh has already received 75,000 signatures. From this state they are pouring in in large numbera. Congressman Peirce has received a monster one from Montgomery county, and this county is preparing to do likewise.

General Sturgis, governor of the BOIdiers' home in Washington, seems to have a faculty for making things lively for those aroond him. He charges Surgeon General Barnes and Commissary General McFeely, two of the governors of the heme, with deriving the greater psrt of their family enstensnce from the products of the home.

A rumor comes from Washington that the president is opposed to pardeming Sergeant Mason, on the ground that it would be in bad taste, and wholly out of piac« in him aa commander-in-chief of the army and navy. If he can refuse a pardon in the face of all the petitions which are pouring in upon him from all sections of the country, he is indeed man of iron will.

When Shipherd first went before the congressional committee to tell what he knew of tb» Chili-Peru company^ he made a grea: Jourish of his knowledge of the matters la question and said he had all the documents and copies of letten in relation thereto at home. Upon being suit home to get them he was suddenly taken ill with an attack of malarial fever, and recovery doing the present session of congress is very doubtful. The air of Washington is very impure.

'•'•ivJ.v:

Vt THE MOBEY UBTTEB"fbrough the publication of the forged Garfiold Chinese latter, Truth, an obscure New York paper, obtained a widespread notoriety, of which no one envied it. Since that time it has onoe more sunk intp that obscurity from which it never should have risen. It does, however, come to the front once more in an attempt to vindicate itself from the charge of originating the forgery, as the following special from Washington will show:

Tha Truth has taken a step toward vindicating itself from the charge of originating the Morey letter. It seems that some time since, nana

the Sun, informed Abram 8. Hewitt,

who was chairman of the democratic national committee, that the Morey letter had been offered to the Sun and after full examination bad been rejected as a forgery and retwned. Mr. Dana gave Mr. Hewitt permission to tell theedltors of the Truth this, but would not agree that the Truth should print It. The proprietors of the latter have at length obtained permiarion to announce this fact. They claim that it showB clearly that they did not originate the forged letter, and further, that Mr. Dana can and should tell to whom he returned it They also ol&im, privately, that Mr. Dana should not have -allowed the Major of the Truth staff, who was indicted for forging this letter, to rest under the charge when it would have been So easy to have exonerated Mm- The claim of Truth is that the letter came to their office in the mail, and after examination, and In the belief that It was gencine, tl*y printed it There will be an effort made now to ascertain to whom Dana returned the letter after rejecting it

We incline to the opinion that there is nothing in the above story. Those familiar with the circumstances will remember thst the Sun was the first democratic paper in the country to denounce the letter as a forgery, and liad it been in possession of the information charged in the above telegram it would doubtless have gone further and imparted all it knew. It was BISO charged that Abram S. Hewitt was a party to the forgeiy, and had that been so he certainly would not allow the charge to hang over him if the means of vindication were within his reach. On the whole it looks very much like another attempt on the part of Truth to secure for itself a cheap notoriety.

A GOOD BE COED.

Two years ago Louis Finkbiner took possession of the office of trustee in this township. He had no former experience in the administration of its affairs, bat the record shows him to be a man of thorough qualifications and that rare gift—good common sense. Since be took possession of the office the poor expenses have steadily declined. His expenses in that line have been as follows: 1880(nine months) 5,784.65

S10.14S.45

His predecessor, B. J. Abbott, daring the last year of his administration had a poor account of $7,881.90, which exceeds that of last year $2,097.35. If we go back still further we would find that the expenses under a democratic trustee were even larger than those of Mr. Abbott.

In the face of a steadily increasing population, a decrease in the poor expense of more than two thousand dollars per annum is a showirg of which any officer may well feel proud. During his term of office not a word of complaint has been heard of the present trustee. Nothing has been heard of a liberal distribution of pauper pauses, and not a word of complaint has been heard from the poor with whom he hss had to deal. With such a record can the citizens of Harrison township afford to discharge Mr. Finkbiner? We think not. He should be elected by a largely increased majority.

THE rOUNG MEJl'S REPUBLICAN CLUB. In another column ef this issue will be found a call for a meeting of the Young Men's Republican Club of this city, on Wedaceday evening next. The place of holding the meeting will be announced in ihe ExprefB on Tuesday morning. The meeting will be an important one, and every member of the club is urged to be present. The election occurs two weeks from to-morrow, and the result will have a JflL'ng effect ofi the other elections occurring this year.

Two years ago the Young Men's Republican Club sprung into existence in this state. The branch in this city was about the first organized, and throughout the campaign it continued to be the banner organization of the state. It waB the strongest and moat useful political organ* ization that ever existed in thisstate. To its energy, perseverence and systematic work were due the splendid victories of two years ago. The time has again arrived to renew tLe fight. With the same organized (ffuit victory is more certain this jeer tban it was in 1880. Let all the old members turn out on Wednesday evening, acd each endeavor to take along with him an addition to the ranks. The time for work is short, and it should be pushed energetically from now until the close of the polls on election day.

Colonel Cook, of star route notoriety, has lately made himtelf very conapicuoua by his utterances. He has charged the administration with everything but a determination to prosecute the ringsters. The only trouble with the colonel is that he has been compelled to give up a situation under the government which has been paying him $100 per day for using up material In the cases gathered by others. He claims to have been frozen out by Col. Bliss. Well, what of it? Cook has been a monumental failure ever aince he became connected with the eaMf. Since Bliss and Brewster came into the cases they have pushed them with a vigor which portends success, if success otn be attained, and everything proves that they have the hearty co-operation of the administration. If there are any more Cooks the freeaing out process should be continued until the last one has been laid upon the shelf. Then the work will be better done at less expense, the taxpayers will be better pleased, and the only persons dissatisfied will be the star routera and men of the Cook ilk.

When the Lynch-Chalmen contested case was before the elections committee the other day, each ei the parties to the case made a speech in his own behalf. Chalmers is an F. F. Vn eon of a former United States senator,- has had all the benefits to be derived from a thorough education, and has held offices innumerable, but the members of the committee were compelled to admit that in point of ability he is mnch inferior to his colored

The Philadtlphia Press say»: 'The London World mentions tbe return to England of 8ir Edward

fiecd, who

went specially to Washington to aid in lobbying Capt Eads' ship railway through Congress." Sir Edward is undoubtedly one of the celebrated European engineers who have faith in the saccos of the scheme—especially if it is backed by a largo appropriation, or a guarantee of the payment of the interest on its bonds.

The exports of provisions, tallow and dairy products for last month were $9,250,000, and lor the four months ending February, $22,500,000. Compared with last year there is a falling off for the month of $15,500,000, acd $7,500,000 for the four months. In the four months named there was a very marked falling off in the exports of brcon, pork, hams and lard. The decrease in the value of bacon was $6,600,000 pork, $500,000 hame,. $1,700,000, and in lard $24)00.000.

Stoughton A. Fletcher, er.. died at his home ia Indianapolis, Friday night, after an illae-s of two months' duration. Mr. Fletcher was well known throughout the Btate aa a business man and upright citizen. He waa born in Vermont in 1808, and was the youngest ot fifteen children. At the age of twenty-three he left his parents' home and came to Iodisnspolis, where he bccame a clerk in a mercantile establishment. Subsequently he formed a partnership in a general trade, which he afterwards owned entirely. Having achieved success as a merchant he opened a private bank in 1845, on a small capital, ander the firm name of S. A. Fletcher & Co, which, owing to the financial abilty of its founder, rapidly grew into one of the most important financial institutions of the state. Mr. Fletcher was also one of the originators of the Indianapolis gas works, and has long been counted one of the wealthiest, if not the wealthiest, of Indiana's citizens. He never held public office, but devoted bis time and energies to his own business interests. Of late years he has spent much of his time in Vermont, where he owned the farm which formerly belonged to his father. His funeral will take, place from his home tomorrow morning at nine o'clock..

CONGRESS.

TFIF. IIORSI

WASHINGTON, March 18, 1882. There was a slim attendance in the House to listen to the debate on tbe, Chinese bill. Speer was the first speaker. He paid a high tribute to tbe colored race, contrasting it with the yellow race.

Duester said he would vote for the bill. Let Congress stamp this threatening danger out of existence before it could grow large enough to require more serious measures for its suppression.

Moore, of Tennessee, created a sensation by making a strong speech against the bill.

Flower made a speech against the further importation of what he termed, the eating, drinking and opium-smoking automatons.

Williams, of Wisconsin, spoke against the bill, and said: My sentiment in regsrd to this bill is to express the hope that as one President vetoed the other, so may another President veto this bill. [Applause on the Republican side.]

Brumm supported the bill. He made the point that every Chinaman who was in this country had kept out one honeBt German or Irishman.

After other speeches the House adjourned.

Striking

Sow it Was Done Before tha Says of Friction Matches. People who light their pipes, cigars or lamps, or kindle their fires by the instantaneous ignition of friction matches

have, unless they are old people, very little conception of tbe labor and* tribulation attendant upon the same process fifty years ago, says the Providence Star. Every well-regulated family, at that time, with a tin box of tinder prdduced by the combustion of rags,,wasaprovided,

and flint and steel and matches which had been dipped into brimstone. When fire was wanted the flint and steel and tinder were produced, and the tinder being ignited by sparks precipitated from the steel by means of the flint, a match was touched to Hie burning mass, and, being lighted, was applied to some prepared kindlings and a fire thus produced, the whole process occupying from five to fifteen minutes, according to the or luck of the operator.,This

TIDED

was at

productive of the use of so many naughty words on the part of the person operating, that fires were generally kept all nifbt This was done—there were few stoves and hard coal had not come into very general use then—by the huge and blazing back-logcoveringfire

in the

place with ashes, and in the morning there was generally found in its place a bed of live coals, which,

the applica

tion of fresh woodj and with the

aid

the then universal bellows, usually prof duced a blazing fire from fifteen min utes half an hour.inSometimes, however,tofrom some cause, the back-log would be wholly consumed, leaving nothing but

bed of ashes. In this

case particularly if there was an absence of dry kinaling in the house, some member of the family must take the shovel, and oftentimes, through snow, knee trudge the nearest neigh bor's,deep,

"after

fire."to

And sometimes, indeed, the nearest neighbor's fire would be out, too, in which case the walk would have be extended till the fire was procured.toThe live coals were borne home upon the shovel, often carefully guarded with the hand to prevent blowing off, placed between two brands, the bellows set vigor ously at work, and the fire thus set a blazing. In lighting a candle, alive coal was taken up with a pair of tongs and blown upon with the mouth until a blaze was produced. Pipes were lighted by placing a live coal on top of tne tobacco, ancl cigars by holding the burn ing to the end and puffing with all one'coal might.

The first improvement on this in New England was the substitution of a bottle of phosphorus, into which, the cork being removed, a brimstone match was thrust, and being thus ignited the bottle was quickly closed in order to retain the strength of the-liquid. This was such an emancipation from the thralldom of the tinder-box and flint and steel,

Directly however, there was another invention,,that left the phosphorus bottle as much in the shade, as the other had the flint and steel.

Perhaps while the suffering is greatest it may be much more frequently done, say once in two or three hours. The feet are always to be gently and thoroughly rubbed while in the water. The temperature of the water is always to be determined by the feeling in the feet. If cold, the water should be cold when they burn, the water should be hot But the great' secret of cure is

.found

tft

in wearing

soft woollen stockings which are changed for fresh ones every day, and wearing shoes with soles so broad that not the slightest pressure is made upon the affected parts. Arctic overshoes should be worn when the temperature is low,so that the feet shall never become cold. This treatment will never fail to relieve at onoe, and is certain finally to effect

complete cure. An Old Epigram. A satirical poet, who lived nearly two centuries back, and an evident spite against womankind,had

RICHMOND HILL, L. I., March 17V SIB—All the copies of correspondence called for by the committee were finished and packed last evening and my tickets purchased for tbe limited express this morning. Almost as soon, however, as I left my office I was prostrated with a very acute attack of malarial fever, and nothing like traveling is poecible to-d*y.

THE BEAGAN BILL.

WASHINGTON, March 16.—Commissioner Fink concluded his argument to-day before the House Commerce Committee against the Reagan railroad bill. In his closing remarks he urged upon the committee the importance of patting goed men upon any commission which Congress might create.

The best plan of all, perhaps, would be to, have Congress give to the existing railroad Commissioner power of imposing penalties. This would, in his opinion, settle the matter at one.
