According to the Denver Tribune it would be a good idea for the Republican committee of Indiana to hire Win. II. English to write their campaign documents. The old man has arrived at that stage of'Jsenile imbecility that he never opens his mouth without putting one of his great big feet in it.

A British merchant from Foo Chow, China, recently landed at San Francisco, accompanied by a Chinese servant in his employment. Notwithstanding he had a certificate from the American Consul at Foo Chow stating the circumstances, the government authorities refused permission to the servant to land with his employer, and lie will be returned to C.iina. The Situ Francisco Bulletin saya that the matter will probably be brought to the notice of the President through the British Minister at Washington. If it shall be, it will place our government in an unfortunate, if not ridiculous, position before other nations. It is a small business for a great nation, and altogether inconsistent with thegenius of our institutions.

If there is anyJhing that touches the popular heart, so to speak, it is pathos. For instance the Post-Dispatch says, anent the Morman business, that the Democratic party, being in favor always of "the greatest amount of liberty consistent with Public Welfare," has not busied itself with the eradication of an institution which exalts into a religion that which New England makes a sccret consolation. It has manifest toleration for misguided people who years ago hid their religious fanaticism in the remote sections of the undeveloped West, away from the influences of civilization," and made the wilderness bloom like a garden. Naturally people who are persecuted come like those who let them alone, and for that reason, we presume, it is* the range of truth to speak of the Mormons as "all Democrats?' Acknowledging the eminent pathos of the above wo go on to say that the Democrats have always squinted at Mormonism because it is apart of their creed to hate your neighbor and love your neighbor's wife. This is Democratic.

WASHjSfcTOJf WAIFS.

Washington^ now suffering, in I£sF dullest season, from "the pestilence, that walketh by noonday" and keeps up its work in the still watches of the night. This is, the office-hunter. There is never an entire abatement of this scourge from tha 1st of January to the 31st of. December, but at present the disease has assumed a most virulent type. About the only way to cure it will be a resort to some fund by which those who have the complaint can be shipped out of town and kept at a respectful distance by rigid quarantine.

The enormous increase in clerk hire, sanctioned by the present session of Congrees,- planted the seeds of the pestilence, and the specious promises held out by Congressmen to their constituents made the disease spread with great rapidity. Several weeks ago it waB intimated that there were at least five applicants for each one of the hundreds of new places and it is a simple question in mathematics to calculate the amount of pressure to the square inch on the appointing power. In the scramble for place it followed that four-fifth's of this army of beggars had to starve, and it is no surprise to learn that Washington is full of persons, both male and female, who are sorry specimens of defeat and poverty and mis placed confidence. What is the promise of a Department chief about appointments Nothing but the regular routine of deceit. What is the promise of a Congressman about appointments? Nothing but routine deceit prompted by despair and fed on Departmental flattery and lies.

To those at all familiar with the Washjngton methods it is no surprise to learn that the town is full of young ladies who -.have come from a distance on the promise of work and now haven't money enough to get home. In several cases tlie ladies thus situated have letters from Members of Congress advising them to go there immediately, and assuring them of appointments. These women are poor, and some of them had to borrow money to get there. The members who advised them to go, left when Congress adjourned, assuring still these women that it would be all right. They did not get appointments, and when they calUd upon the heads of departments to learn why, were* told that the members who had promised them places had recommended other persons.

Is there no way to abate this scourge? It is a disgefcee to think that Washington, named for a truthteller, should have become the greatest resort of liars in the country. What are these women to do, thus stranded penniless on the merciless reefs of Washington life It is asocial problem and must be met before too late. Are they to be left thereto linger along exposed to the wiles and temptations that beset the Capital and make a crooked life alluring? It is all well enough to preach .up the theoretical side of morals, but a little practical foresight and charity would be far more to the purpose in dealing with questions like this. If any lapses from the path of rectitude shall have to be chronicled by the recording angel, let the odium and the blame fall where they belong—at the doors of unprincipled Congressmen who lured these unfortunates on by the seductive bait of employment.

These girls should be given to understand that the proper time to give up Department life is before you commence it, because the only creature who is worse off" than the girl who can't get this work is the girl who

poweraof ex

has

en­

joyed it and been discharged. The salary is large and tempting, and the dainty gew-gaws it will furnish accustom the girl who receives it to habits of indulgence, and the loss of stipend and gew-gaws leaves the would-be charmer an easy prey.

Speaking of the late Senator Hill the Peoria Transcript admits that he wasa great orator and a finished debater but thinks him over estimated. It goes on to remark that this period of our history is embellished with the work of intellectual giants "who, perhaps, appear to be pigmies compared with the venerated and* extravagantly eulogized men of the past whose virtues and successes are handed down tons in records from which their faults and failures are carefully excluded. Edmunds, Bayard, Thurman, Beck, Ingalls, Kasson, Carlisle, and a half a dozen whom we might mention, not forgetting Garfield, will be recognized in the futuro as men who will rank far above many of their predecessors, or their late cotemporary, Senator Hill, in the free and unprejudiced judgment of remote observation and impartial criticism."

This estimate must have been made up by some one who reached a conclusion from reading what above patriots had to say in the Congressional Record. In the above category there are sins of omission and commission. Edmunds is cold as a grey-liound, and twice as passionless. He is simply frozen logic. We ofl'er a standing reward of $1,000 to any man who will swear before high Heaven that he even "enthuzed" over

hearing

a speech

by Bayard. His sentences are longwinded and prolix, and his delivery squeaky and thin. He never fired off a thunder tone in his life. Thurman has a massive sincerity that wins an audience, but we defy any critic to find in the entire range of his speeches one sentence that compares, in all the essentials of oratory, with the masterpiece of Ben Hill when he pleaded in the House for peace between the North and the South. The cfratory of Beck is a legitimate offspring of the Scotch combativeness ot his nature It is nervous and irregular. He mas* querades in tlie garments of the hustings, and never reaches the height of popular oratory. It sounds like the bumping of a spring wagon over a cobble-stone road. Ingalls has a marr velous gift of language, and his blade is keen, but the ponderous earnestness of true oratory is lacking. Kassonan,d Carlisle are both of tj-emejndous

ible resources of logic, but the first is too studied, and the s^n&too prosy, to reach the heart ol an .audience. ...

In our hiimbl^ judgment^ the twef greatest oratore inCongress duringthe past decade, from the South, were Hill and Lamar, and from the North, Blaine and Garfield. All had, in an eminent degree, that warmth, vigor and impressiveness of direct appeal, which combine to make oratory a gift of, the Gods. £if''

CRUSHED CHIYAUtY.

That was a sad case in Alabama where the citizens of Choctaw county got hold of a diabolical plot on -the negroes to massacre the whites en masse on a certain date. As soon as they had the most reliable proof of the horror proposed they just came together as if by the instinct of self-preservation and hung the alleged ring leader of the diabolical arrangement. Then they went quietly to their homes, apparently with a load'off their minds. This circumstance should call. forth letters of condolence from all parts of the country, for there is no overmastering and relentless despotism in the world that can compare with the tyranny wielded over the whites of the South by the negroes.

Time was when the age of chivalry was in vogue below Mason & Dixon's line, when the Southern gentleman would brook no interference with his heaven-born rights, but all this is now so changed that lie lies in abject slavery at the feet of his colored ty rant. It is sad to witness the degeneracy of a once noble race. Only a few years back, the southern gentleman didn't think anything of planting a bullet in the skull of a freedman for themost trifling intrusion on liis social rights. For instance we can remember a few-years back, in those halcyon days of Southern honor, when the spirit of freedom rose up like a giant and fell upon a pack of colored people at Hamburg, like Samson on the Philistines. On that occasion the aforesaid Chivalry founded & private graveyard for home consumption.

By degrees, however, chivalry lias grown decrepit. Indolence and lack of ambition and opportunity has dwarfed its once proud dimensions and made jelly ot its pristine backbone. It is now thought that in Alabama, where chivalry has scored some of its grandest triumphs, a poor darkey unarmed can stampede a couple of score of the white scions of the soil, armed -to the teeth with Bowies and Navy Colt's. It is a condition of things thftt will melt a heart of granite and make great ,globules of sympathetic sweat ooze from the brow of the bronze goddess on the Capitol dome. The war, with its widespread desolation, was bad enough, but the fawning, cringing, terrified, slavish white chivalry of the South, fearing every moment lest this colored race may break loose and crush things to powder, is a picture to make angels weep.

The Bernhardt's love is about to be tested. There is a woman in the case. A certain Mile. Minelll (evidently French for my Nelly) sues M.

My Nelly is liable to have her frizzes disarranged by Sara before the suit Is over.

The relations between Secretary Folger and Assistant Secretary John C. Newaro personally very pleasant, but It Is reported that Mr. New is flnding'the position Is not what he expected it to be. Judge French, Second Assistant Secretary, has been designated as Acting Secretary in the absence of Folger, which leaves First Assistant Secretary New not much position, in fact, beyond that of chief clerk.

Lieut. Wlllard Young, a son of Brlgham. is a teacher of engineering at West Point. He was at' West Point when his father's estate was being settled, and, as he did not feel like raising a fainilly row, he said ho would take Just what tho others didn't want.

A Description ot. Brother Barnes,.tlie Evangalist, and His Services—The Marion Cquntjr legislative Ticket. 8peclaliCorfespondencei of the Express.*

INDTXXAPOI.18,: Angi 21.—I heard Brother Barnes, the.Mountain Evangelist, at the Meradian street church last night. He looks somewhat like Dr. Jordan, of intestinal notoriety, but he is no fraud. He thinks he is very near Jesus all the time and I doubt not Jesus thinks so too. His daughter Maria, whom he calls plain Mariah, doing a^ay with theaffectatious pronunciation of Ma ret, is a sweet singing angel all by herself. She isn't "real pretty" by any means, but her voice is so-pathetic that a fellow just keeps looking at her all the time she is singing, and I think she has made a few "mashes" since she has been here. But: she wont flirt at alL A young, dashing robust darling of a fellow was at church with me and kept a look out for her coming, hoping to get a look into her large, black, thoughfuleyes. When she came into the auditorium she stopped at the doorway and began talking to the horridest looking old bum you ever saw. He bad heard of the pouring on of oil by the evangelist and had asxed the singing angel, without knowing who she was, if he could go in. 01 the way she talked to that Fellow made us both wish. Ave were bums too. And then to see them go down the aisle right before us, moving like a procession in heaven, made my friend almost beside himself. As for me I didn't care one bit, but then couldn't see why tlie old bum of a bum wanted to go clear to the front with her. But he did, and she talked all the while to him like he was a young bird in its pretty nest. I fairly hate bums. The services began by her singing, "Knocking, knooking, who Is there?" and the audience was charmed. I have heard it sung by Sunday schools, churches and thundering revivalists, but never before as I heard it sun last night'. Now the opera singer, am many singers in our church choir would say that her singing was "just too perfectly horrid for any use," but the three-fourths of that large audience who were melted to tears by her pathetic voice had not heard such sweet notes since hearing their mother's lullaby. There is nothing of the rant in Brother Barnes' prayers, but he kneels down and lias a plain, common sense talk with his friend Jesus. His voice is not a pleasing one, and it is evident that the vocal cords are losing their elastfcity. The sound from hfch to low is not made quickly, but the two extremes are spliced, producing a sound not unlike what I have sometimes heard in the vicinity of a country planing mill. But with his rather unpleasant voice is a genuine earnestness of delivery that is effective. He does not presume to preach, but is more of a teacher than an exhorter. He explains the meaning of what is contained in the Bible, and does it well. His religion is a personal relation with Jesus Christ and he would as leave hold his meetings in a Catholic as in a Protestant church. He believes that the Savior heals the body now as when he caused the lame to walk, the blind to see, and the deaf to hear, and he makes this practice of healing bodily ailments a part of his mission. His cathortic, sedative, laxative, invigorative and so forth, is in a small viai of olive oil that he carried in his left vest pocket, and the power and will of the Great Physician. Last night quite a crowd went forward and he anointed all, though lie usually asks who wishes to be anointed. He was the happiest man in the room and talked until nearly worn out, He is a worked-down man. For twenty years he has been preaching and that most constantly..^ I notice that the impression prevails that he is an uneducated man far from it. His language is almost faultless. He graduated with honors at Princeton college, and has been a student ever since. He has stormed the ungodly in New England, an was a missionary for ten years in India. He is one of the most analytical speakers I ever heard, and hence his proficiency as a teacher. He has been in Kentucky for some time doing real missionary work, and gathered Governor Blackburn and several other State officers of that commonwealth into the church. Hesojonrned so long with the Kentuckians, that I detect he has a slight tinge of Southern dialect with him but only almost enough to soften his voice. He should have been more of a mimic or else staid longer in the South there is richness in tlie Southern brogue after all. The meetings are largely attended and are successful. Tlie evangelist said last night that he was more than satisfied with his meetings in Indianapolis, and he would stay liere so long as they continued to be so well attended. But I think he cannot work much longer without a rest. He stopped in his discourse last night, and turning to his daughter, said: "Mariah, sing something I am lired." Then to the audience: "I must rest a moment let us all listen to Mariah sing. She is my reserve power and is ever faithful." Then she sung •'Just as I am without, one plea." in a most impressive maimer. I know mv friend with me was very much impressed.

The Republican legislative ticket nominated on Saturday is particularly a good one. General Coburn is well known throughout the State as a galgalt soldier and an ex-member of Congress. At the breaking out of the late war, he was Judge of the Circuit Court here, but resigned at the first call to arms and entered the service. He was made Colonel of the 33d Indiana, afterwards became commander of the 33d and 85th Indiana and the 16th Wisconsin regiments which formed his brigaae.

war

record is one of the best made, and no member of his old oommand that hears of his nomination to-day but what will be glad of it. It was not generally known, but the fact is that General Coburn began and ended Sherman's march to the sea. His brigade was in the lead, most all the way, and the rebel authorities made formal surrender at Atlanta to General Coburn in person. Since the war he has been six times elected to Congress from this district, where he served with much distinction. He was the author of the famous force bill in Congress, which, had it become a law, the South to-day would be solidly Republican. He was defeated for Congress in 1874 by Franklin lenders, since which time he has practiced law in this city. In 1880 he was spoken of very favorably ... ..

for the Republican nomination for Governor, and had he not peremptorally the use of

declined to allow his name in that connection he would likely have been nominated. The writer remembers well that General Coburn was the first choice for Governor of many delegates in that convention, and enough liad him for their second choice to have nominated him after General Streight had been defeated. He is one of the best campaigners in Indiana. He has fired the key note in several campaigns since the death of Senator Morton, and

William B. Fletcher is a son of the late Miles J. Fletcher, Superintendent of Public Instruction, who. meta horrible death in a railroad accident at Sullivan duringthe war. The incident is yet fresh in the minds of the people of the Wabash valley, and needs no repetition now. Mr., Fletcher lives in Lawrence township, where lie owns a large stock farm. He is twenty-eight years of age, and is the youngest Republican on the ticket, though his education, which he acquired at Asbury University, fully makes him deservingand worthy of the spurs given him. D. B. Shidelar is well known throughout the State as a prominent. Mason, Odd Fellow, Knight of Pythias and insurance man.

Samuel Elbert is a colored man and a leading physician on the North Side. He hasbeen'prominent in building up the condition of his race, and is one of the most respected and popular colored men here.

Governor and Mrs. Hendricks went. East last night, to pass a few weeks on the seashore. They are as affectionate toward each other now as when they were courting years ago. Mr. Hendricks is always gallatft and elegant, and especially is he so with Mis. Hendricks. I noticed them walking home on Tennesse street one evening recently, arm-in-arm, talkingas warmly as two most exuberant lovers. At home, by themselves, the ex-Governor is "Tom, with her, and she the same "Eliza" that he has loved so long. His voice is a rare one indeed always expressing liis choice, carefully chosen language in the richest soft brougue imaginable. He has a Scotch accent that the Irish think is real Irish, but it is real Scotch. Mrs. Hendricks' maiden name was Morgan, and she lived in Decatur county, where Tom Hendricks, ayoung lawyer and most ardent Democrat, talking politics, more than making money, first met her. They have had but one child, which died in infancy, and all their affection is for each other. .. rii (A SrilEBOR.

Oorps for Egypt.'n~

Apropos of a possible French "expedition to Egypt, the Ville de Paris has published a resume of a pamphlet by Tomard, one of the members of the expedition under the command of Bona parte, in 1798, on the organization of "Regiments des Dromadaires." It appears that tlie regiment of camels, which was in existence up to tlie capitulation of Menou, numbered about four hundred French or European camel-men, and rendered effective service not only in Egypt but in Syria, where Bonaparte himself rode on camel-back. The scheme is attributed to Bonaparte after he had visited Suez. It is stated that the camels, or rather mehari, belonging to the French service, moved for days at a rate of 100 miles, and' that it was only owing to their exertions that Mourad Bey could be defeated in the desert.

A Ohinaman Pooled.

John Chinaman sometimes overreaches himself with tricks that are vain, or is overreached by American hoodlums in ways that are dark. One of him lately advertised in Philadelpnia that he would "pay $10 for the arrest of any fellow that throws dead cats or dogs into his laundry." Two hoodlums found that the fine for thus throwing was only $3 and costs. Accordingly, one of them perpetrated the assault and the other procured his arrest. John paid over the $10 to the latter, and he paid his confederate's fine. The pair then divided the remaining $6, and John departed with the remark, "Melican man no fool me some moree Melican man keepe he dlamn clatee."

'jY*J ..

We wish to draw the attention of the reader to a few facts which we will afterwards confirm by the most unimpeachable testimony. First, it is a fact that in this everchanging climate w» are one and all exposed to sudden heat and cold, bringing on chills, coughs and colds, which in their turn produce Asthma, Bronchitis, Ulcerated Sore Throat" or Consumption. It is a fact that Rheumatism is getting more prevalent every day, and has become chronic with many sufferers. It is a fact that Neuralgia renders the existence of many thousands a life of martyrdom. It is a fact, that Catarrh has horrors that no one can form any conception of, except those who suffer. It is a fact that Croup carries more children to the grave than any other infantile disease. It is a fact that we are all liable to accidents, and may get hurt or cut, burned, scalded or bruised, however careful we may be and it is a fact that we are at all times subject to organic derangements of a serious nature, which too often terminate fatally. These are facts which bear no dispute. But the next fact is one of serious importance to the public, for every one should know it. It is this, that ""•:i 'u'r

Thomas' Eclectric Oil

is a positive, reliable and certain cure for all the ailments enumerated, as well as for many others incident to the constitution, such as Stiff- Joints, Swelled Neck, Sprains, Chapped Hands, Lame Back, Blind and Bleeding Piles, Chilblains, Frosted Feet, Pains in the Back or any part of the system. In fact, it is a remedy that stands paramount above all others. It is equally effective externally or .internally, and all who have ever used it are never without it.

These are facts which are proved by the following testimony, which we challenge the world to contradict:

A Baptist Minister's Experience. I am a Baptist minister, and before I ever thought of being aclergyninn, I graduated in medicine, Dut left lucrative practice for my profession, forty years ij^o. I was for many years a sullerer from aulnsv:—"Thomas' Eclectric Oil cured me." I was also troubled with hoarseness, and Thomas' Eclectric OH always relieved mo. My wife and child had diphtheria and "Thomas Eclectric Oil cured them," and If taken in time it will cure seven times out of ten. I am confide~t it is a cure for the most obstinate cold, and if any ono will take asmall teaspoon and half till It with the Oil, and then place the end of the spoon Into the head by sniffing as hard as they can, until'the Oil fulls into tho thront, and practice that twice a weok, I don't care how ofl'ensivo their head may be, it will clean It out and cure their catarrh. For deafness and earache It hns done wonders to my certain knowledge. It Is the only medicine dubbed patent medicine that I have ever felt like recommending, and I am very anxious to see it in everyplace, for I tell you that 1 would not be without It foruny consideration. 1 am now suffering with a right and nothing relieves me like Thomas'

pain like rheumatism in my right limb.

Eclectric Oil. DR. IS. F. CRANE, Uorry, Pa.

What a Near Neighbor Says, who Speak* from Experience. AKRON, Erie County, N. Y.,

December II, 1881.

To the proprietors of Thomas' Electric Oil: GENTS—Last March I took a severe cold, and, being negligent In doctoring it, brought the Asthma on me very severe. I could not not lie down or sleep for wheezing and shortness of breath. I took this thing and that, and tried different doctors, but found no relief. Hix months ago I saw an advertisement In the papers recommending Dr. Tlioma's Kclecirlc Oil, so I thought I would try that,and wonderful to relate, yet nevertheless true, the first doso I took relieved me In a few minutes,and before I had taken onefourth of a 50-cent bottle I could breathe freely and sleep as well as ever. It Is equally as magical forcuts, bruises, burns and rheumatism. I woke up a few mornings since with such a pain in my chest, that I could not draw a l«yig breath, My wlfo said, "rub on Thomas' Eclectric Oil." I did so, and in a few mlnute8 tho pain was gone, and I havo not felt it since. My wife, also, hud a severe attack of rheumatism in the arm and side. She applied the oil with the same result. I would not be without it if 1 had to walk ten.miles for It, and then pay 5 for a 50 cent bottle. I send you this testimonial hoping you will publish it, so that suti'erln^ humanity may be relieved of their aches and pains.

Yours respectfully,
