If any Venor dares haul down this weather shoot him on the spot.

The tail gates seem to have let go in the region of New York yesterday. It was a Saturday bath so to speak.

Jay Gould is now after the Associated JPress, and dispatches from New York indicate that he is about to be successful in his attempt.

Ismail Pasha now has his harem in the Rus Boyard, Paris. Ho keeps only -Tn-efiCTffevTnra t.ui nas not many inmates beyond those favorites he re gards as his wives. Two of his daughters are at school in Paris.

For several days rumors have come from Wall street of prospective-fail urea and it now appears the rumors were based on facts. Within two days there have been two extensive lir'nis gone to the bow-wows. Yesterday's failure is for $1,000,000.

It is not generally known but it is nevertheless true that Gladstone is constantly guarded by a special police force, Two of theseollicers accompany him everywhere he goes. Of late it has beon deemed advisable to provide this guard, hitherto armed with baton's onlj', with revolvers and twenty rounds of ammunition.

Wo have heard of many probable uses of electricity, but it took an ingenious Frenchman to cap the climax. An electric lump was lowered into the sea, and the report (which after all may be only a lish story on a foreign pattern) says that thousands of the finny tribe were attracted to the light Thereupon boats furnished with nets closed in and mado a great haul.

The execution and torture of men in Turkey and Egypt has come to be such a matter of common occurrences that the press agents now speak of them in this manner: "He is a brother to the Shereef murdered some time ago, as supposed by orders of the Sultan, beccuse he was favorable to the British." Perhaps this coloring to the information comes from the sumo sources that recently entertained the civilized portions of the world with flippant accounts of the torturing and brutal executions of Arabs who had been handed over by the British to the Khedive. It makes a good deal of difference whose ox is being gored in the far east at present. The execution of a British sympathiser is murder. The keel-liauiing and torturing to death practically by English authority of a half dozen Arabs is a sight prepared for tho especial amusement of Her Majesty's troops. Sham and humbug have had much to do with the late so called war.

One of the amusing caricatures in the last number of Puck might serve to point a moral. It represents that difficult individual, Mr. John Kelly, with a broad grin on his faces, and in an inviting attitude saying to the SyraT cuse convention:—"Do please kick me again." The point is that every kick or rebuff to Kelly And Tammany by their fellow-partisans only serves to consolidate the Tammanyites and to strengthen John Kelly. It requires tact and much wisdom to be able to say just enough and not too much. How many friends and supporter, faintly protesting, have been driven into open revolt or desertion by too strong opposition. How many breaches have been widened by intemperate and ill-considered speeches. 'To let well enough alone* may sound temporizing and timid, but it often secures the good we have, whilst the contrary loses it as we rush on ills we know not of.' It is better to conciliate the friends we have than to try to replace them. Our moral will apply socially or politically, to. liusinessor religion, in church synods or political conventions.

OF eXEAT

POPULAE ADMIRATION THIEVES.' The Abbe le Blanc, writing in 1737, says he was continually entertained with stories of Dick Turpin—how, when he robbed a gentleman, he would generously give them enough to continue their journey, and exact a pledge from him never to inform against him, and how scrupulous such gentlemen were in keeping their word.

In past, as in present days, many are found who sympathize with the doings and ingenious depredators who take away the rich man's superfluity mankind in general looks with admiration upon great and successful thieves. Every country in the known world has its traditional thief, whose exploits are recorded with all the grace of poetry. Among th traditional thieves the most noted, perhaps, was Robin Hood, a name which popular affection has encircled with a peculiar halo. The few virtues he had, whie!\ would have ensured him no praise if he had been an honest man, have been blazoned forth by popular renown during seven successive centuries, and will never be forgotten while the English tongue endures. Of thieves of later date, who has not heard of Claude Duval, Dick Turpin (of whom the learned le Blanc so entertaingly writes), Jonathan Wild, Jack Sheppard and a score of others.

The Abbe, in the second volume, in the letter No. 7J, addressed to Hon fiieur de Buffon, gives the following curious particulars of ihe robbers of 1737, which are not without interest at this day, since we have some in our midst whose fame, no doubt, will go down to future generations: 'It is usual In travelling to put ten or a dozen guineas in a separate pocket, as a tribute to the first that comes to demand them the right of passport, which custom has established here in favor of the robbers, who are almost the only high" way survoyors in England, lias made this necessary and accordingly the English call these fellows the "Gentlemen of the Road," tho Government letting them exercise their Jurisdiction upon travellers without giving them any great molestation. To say the truth, they content themselves with only taking the money of those who obey without disputing but notwithstanding their boasted humanity, the lives of those who endeavor to get away aro not always safe. They are very strict and severe In levying their impost and If a man has not wherewithal to pay them, he may run the chanfie of having himself knocked on the head for Ills poverty."

Even a streelrpreacher, about the time of Jack Slieppard's execution, after animadverting on the great care men took of their bodies, and the little care bestowed upon their souls, exemplified the position as follows: •'Let me exhort you then to open the locks of your hearts with the nail of repentence! Burst asunder the fetters of your beloved lusts, mount the chimney of hope, take from thence the bar of good resolution, break through the stone wall of despair, and all the strongholds in the dark entry of the ml ley of the shadow of death! Raise yourselves to the leads of divine meditation, fix the blanket of faith with the spike of the church, let yourselves down to the turner's house of resignation, and descend the stairs of humility. So shall you come to the door of deliverance from the prison of iniquity, and escape the clutches of that old executioner, the devil!"

France had the famous Aimeriot Tetenoire and the gentlemanly thief Vidocq Germany has its Schinder manns, Hungary its Schubry, Italy and Spam a whole host of brigands. Bnt. how much more dearly than all these will be cherished in the hearts of the generations of Terre Hauteans yet to come the memory of our own sweet William Hicks! Perchance some fu ture Telmachus will paint in glowing words the deeds of this truly good man succeeding ages will magnify his thefts of a pocket knife or a ham into some daring exploit novelists will use him as a hero, weaving in their stories the tale of a "wamus historians will describe his fortitude and noble self-possessions while threading our streets ignobly bound and lead by a rope in search for bail and how learned lawyers, appreciating the true inwardnessof his many taking qualities would rush to his succor and then again he will figure among the politicians whose names shall go down to posterity and be counted as the "dark horse" in many a political canvass of this day. It is only proper that all this, and more too, should be claimed for him. Then the Artesian Well will have ceased to flow, nor longer will great steamboats breast the waves of the raging Wabash—the memory of man will be dim in trying to recall the time when the last Herdic went down Sixth street, but ever fresh in the minds of the coining race will be the valliant deeds, the bold exploits of pur own William.

Drench artists aro in continual trouble, not unlike tho remainder of private mortals, over money matters. They -are as a rule thrifty and apt to regard every one responsible for any losses they may incur through their own bad management. The latest instance is that of Capoul the love making tenor. Some months ago he made an agreement withM. Koning, the former manager of the Renaissance, to create the principal part in "Le Sais," in consideration of 10 per cent, of the gross receipts nightly, such sum not to fall beneath SI 00. The late M. Peragallo, agent of the well known Societe des Auteur, received the money on 'behalf of the tenor except on nights when the gross receipts of the whole house were less than $1,000, when the manager would compute the deficiency, make up the star's 500 francs and pay him the money directly. Capoul, as a rule, let his money lie in the hands of M. Peragallo and only twice went to the agency to balance his accounts. Presently M. Peragallo committed sui cide, leaving his affairs in sad confu sion, and Capoul being unable to recover a sum of 13,000 francs from the estate, has now brought suit against M. Koning. The ex-manager, very naturally, responds that he has once made payment to a third party tacitly recognized as Capoul's agent, and so the matter stands. It is an interesting case, it" not altogether so romantic as that touching picture of Marie Heilbronn's husband bidding her adieu on the "deck of the steamship which was to bear him to the diamond fields, there to toil, cheered by his conscience and his memory of her truth and faith, until he had accumulated the million he owed to his creditors—a picture for which the enterprising reporters of the Paris Figaro were exclusively responsible, tho chivalrous debtor being at that moment in hiding, preparing to transfer his property and plead the baby act,

Preston, who is now in Europe, writes a delightful articlo entitled "Among the Bablfte Hills."

Four Million Dollars Spent In New York in One Season for Amasement—What the Thenters are Doing This Year—

What is Offered as Sensations. Special Correspondence of the Express. NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—Four million dollars is a good deal of money— enough to repair an iron clad, or to pay for the wine and cider of a- Congressional committee on .a short investigating crime. This are about the figures spent in Liew York last season for theatrical amusement, as calculated from-the receipts of fourteen theatres. The Madison Square theatre (with its traveling companies) took in over $800,000 Booth's theatre Bernhardt appeared) $280,000 the Standard (playing "Patience" nearly all the year) $203,000 Niblo's Garden, $198,000 "VVallack's with a short season after the new house was opened) $186,000, and so down through the list. I won't stop to moralize over any other possible uses which might have been ma!fe of the great sum of money. That, sort of statistics don't prove anything and nobody is influenced by them, anyway. The people want to be entertained, and will pay liberally for the service, and judging from the repairs and refurnishing and redecorating of existing theatres, and the erection of new ones during this year, it is evident that the managers are looking forward to a largely increased patronage over even that of last year.

New York alone did not pay that four million dollars, by along way That would, to be sure, represent only an average expenditure of about four dollars for about every man, woman and child in the city, but when you deduct the real multitude who have neither time to spare for the theatre, no money to buy admission, nor clothes fit to wear there, and then de duct the infants who are too young and the decrepid who are too old, and the church-goers who arc too austere, and the ailing who are too sick, you have so narrowed the number that the average cost would be a startling one if they had to make up $17,000 a day for the 240 days embraced in the theatrical year. It is the floating population—the average of 200,000 strangers and visitors who are always withi our metropolitan gates—wno conti bute in a very large decree to the support of the theatres of the city. A company at any leading house is playing not simply for a New York audience, but for Cleveland and Chicago, and San Francisco, and Nashville, ana Oshkosh, and a thousand other places whoae representatives have paid for the best seats in the house.

So in making up the programme at the opening of the season, the .manager aims to strike the fancy of Jhe whole country,, and not New York alone.

What is Offered on the Boards. The season is fairly over, the theatres are in full swing. What sort of theatrical banquet have they pre pared for their cosmopolitan guests? Well, to tell the truth, the bill of fare presents a queer compound. The

Madison Square Tlieatro

is the one bright and shining excep tion to the crazy rage for spectacular hotch-potch. Here the Mean, healthy, vigorous and natural plav of "Esmeralda" is in the eleventh month of its continued reproduction. A good drama, w«ll played in charming tilpatre. It is soon to be withdrawn, after its remarkable run, to give place to "Young Mistress Wintlirop," which, we may be Bure, will be worth seeing and hearing, or it would not be produced at this house. „.

Wallnck's

new theatre, so new that it has not re quired any new redecorating during the vacation, was opened on Saturday week, with a much-heralded play "Taken from Life," in which half a dozen English actors and actresses made their first appearance. The play is finely mounted, the costumes are notable, the stage machinery intricate and successful, and it introduces a live horse and a terrific explosion, which nearly lifts the roof. It tells of the stolen child, cold hearted villains, arrests for forgery and murder, and all that sort of thing, and while not quite so full of gore as the small boys in the gallery would relish, is an InconFiste it and unnatural miniature of the regular Bowery style, with no literary merit whatever.

Atthe

Union Sq are

the "Black Flag" is still waving its troubled and voluminous folds over villains galore and sensational episodes enough to stock a dozen dime novels. Thank goodness It has been replaced on the lltli inst. by "The Rivals," with Joseph Jefi'ersou, Mrs. John Drew and a good company. Hasten the day when this grand old play lifts the Union Square out of the dramatic mud and restores it to tho affection of those who have in former years been proud to be among its satisfied patrons.

Daly's Threntre,

once the recognized home of enlivening and spirited "society plays" has been given over to a complex, impossible, indescribable mass of villainy, intrigue and absurdity called "mankind," probably because no other equal number of either mankind or womankind" ever acted in real life as tlie people are made to do on this stage. The play is superbly set, and as it has been well patronized, there must be a large number of people who are content to contribute to the triumph of the upholsterer and costumer. It is announced that the "regular season" will give a series of plays of an altogether different stamp, embracing "The Squire," "All's well that Ends well," &c. Nobody can do these things better than Daly when he tries, and the sooner he trie? the better.

At the ... ... Park Theatre, Maggie Mitchell, who bears her fifty years as lightly on the stage as if they were but fifteen, has been playing a new piece called "Elie," wnicn lias not proved a success. One of the absurdities in it is a struggle—a regular wrestling bout between Tittle Maggie and a great brawny fellow who could pick her up with one hand, and it isn't meant to be a burlesque either, but a genuine trial of strength. Like the "Marchioness," you have to "make believe a great deal" when you see that.

Miss Mitchell has now wisely sent "Elie" adrift and put on "Jane Eyre," in which she is always sure of houses filled with her manv old-time friends.

Haverly's Fourteenth Street Theatre bowie knives, red shirts, miner's slang, California scenery, revolvers, Mexico dances, blonde young heroines, genteel black coated murderer, robbery, overland coach, thieving Indians, "old sledge," and all the rest of the paraphernalia of the well known frontier dramas, holds the boards under the title of "Cliispa," Miss Marian Elmore being the Cliispa aforesaid. On the ISth Miss Minnie Palmer opens in "My Sweetheart,',' and is said to bean attractive sweetheart, too.

More blood, more:- villains, -more slime of London, and a lot-of Gypseysas tfye chief card are the notable f. atureS of "The Romany Rye," put on at Booth's since yesterday. The" piece has had successful junin London. It is of "the, ^intensely sensational school, pnncfpally' dlfccted to showing how virtrrous are the poor and how. vicious and deserving of violent death (which they get in the play) are the rich. How much literary or artistic merit there may be in it, remains to be seen. Those who can't find gloom enough to quite draw them into nightmares or suicides at the other

It is sensational, or rather intensely emotional, but it is also strongly powerful, and the acting of Miss Morris in it is simply wonderful, and dreadfully horrible "in its intensely and fidelity to nature.

Rockville Ripples?,..

Special to the Express. ROCKVILLE, Sept. 23.—Mrs. W. II. Thompson and children, of Indianapolis, are the guests of Mrs. Wilson Sinitll.

Cool nights here, too. AVm. H. Hargravc returned last evening from a two weeks trip in Kan sas.

Alex. McCune who is a graduate of Princeton college, sports a class cane, which is a novelty in these parts. The stick, which is of hard wood, light col ored, has carved upon it the names of every member of the class, -besides that of the college and the residence of Mc. The names are beautifully carved, and carved each in a different style.letter.. The effect is altogether unique, and the cane is a valuable and pleasing souvenir to its owner.

Washington township, this county, has within its borders forty young men who will this fall cast their first votes. What is more remarkable, but not at all surprising, these forty young men will cast Republican votes. Now will some banner township trot out a, better showing? Washington township is a rural "deestrick," and contains no towns of any size, and not even a village to speak of. Her citizens are good men and honest, as the above mil abundantly testify.

The Tribune will change in management in the hear future. George Woolsev, who for a year has. been business manager and local editor will retire and I. R. Strouse. who has purchased a half-interest, will assume cori•trol. Mr. Beadle will retain the editorial management,' Important changes and improvements will be made, and it is expected that the: Tribune will make a strong effort for the lead in newspaper circles here. Mr. Strouse, who has had some experience, will undoubtedly make a good local paper.

The Browns went and came home covered with glory, so to speak. When the boys get in earnest and start out to do sometnihg they do it. The game yesterday afternoon with the Crawfordsvilli Browns and Chumps—a picked nine—was good enough until the last half of the fifth inning, when the chronic kicker got in his work and threw the game. At this time the score stood to 5 in favor of the Rockville Browns, who were at the bat and had two men on bases and none out. Seeing that the game was likely to go against them, Miller, came from his position and declared he would play no longer, charging unfairness in the umpire. Others joined him and the game closed. By the rules the game was forfeited and really the liockville Browns won it by a score of 9 to 0. The special point which the Crawfordsville'bQys attempt to make, and tins raektft tfipy worked successfully here a short time ago, is on a foul, they claiming that a runner must at once on a foul' being batted, run back to the base left, even before the umpire can decide whether it is a foul or not, otherwise he is out. Of course this is absurd and serves to show as nothing else the kind of men they are. Their action yesterday disgusted even their fellow-citizens who denounced them. The long and short of it, the Crawfordsville fellows are on the bluff, and if they can't bluff they won't play—child "like. If they are gentlemen they have a way of laying all such qualities aside when they play base ball and become bullies. Considerable money was up on the game, for if they can't play ball they can bet and can, too, back down when they see they are about to lose, and nearly all were drawn when the game closed as it did, though a few were honorable enough to pav like men. It i§ said Miller, who did the most kicking, was about to lose quite a sum, hence his action. With a few more such breaks as they have made here and at home yesterday, the Crawfordsville club will become notorious for resort to little tricks to gain an end. It is not likely another game will be played between'these clubs. Each have won a game and there the matte»will probably rest. Outside of the game our boys were treated nicely.

.Impossible Boys in Literature. Christian Union. Naturalness is what is needed, and if the history of a boy's journey to the Western prairies, where he scalps Indians, shoots antelope and rescues captive maidens, without any previous practice whatsoever,be deemed improbable and absjird. how else pan we describe the narrative of the good boy who helps support his poor widowed mother, is"persecuted by the inevitable rich man's son, stumbles on a hidden treasure, tracks the thieves at the risk of his life, restores the money to its rightful owner, and is extravagantly' rewarded in consequerice, to bring about which happy ending countless .wonderful coincidences are employed, quite putting to the blush the saying tliat "truth is stranger than fiction? Why not strike a happy, natural medium, and write-about boys as they really are—generous, fun-loving, noisy, warm-hearted and sympathetic, but with a capacity, like tne rest of us, for making mistakes and saying and doing those things for which- afterward they are sorry and abolish the villian altogether?
