The telegraph, during a few days past, has brought news of an unusually large number of heavy fires and failures.
The bail of a pail should be strong enough to keep it from dropping into the well. The bail of a criminal may be weak enough to let him drop out of eight.
Mr. 0. 0. Stealey has written a letter from Terre Haute to the Courier-Jour-nal on political matters. If the letter was published it would require double space, one half being used to correct errors of fact. As to the mistakes of judgment they could easily be overlooked.
It was a sad mistake the Democratic Homagers made in not having S. C, Davis stump the county for the entire ticket. He and Tom Harper go a great way in the cause of harmony. Tom could talk when the ladies were out in force (he is usually at hisbest then) and Sant could amuse the Irish Catholics who might attend, so that it could be made pleasant all around. It's not too late vet to reined this.
"We understand that the Democratic orators have been going around over the county pathetically pleading for harmony and the entire ticket. They Ecem to be greatly afraid that the entire ticket is not safe that somebody is going to get left. A storm is coming and it doesn't take a profound head to tell it. The harmony pleaders can't stem the tide. If they don't make for dry land they may get caught in the current themselves.
The definition of bail bond, viz: "A bond or obligation given by a prisoner and his surety, to insure the prisoner's appearance in court, at the return of tlif writ," will apply very well to some localities, especially in those that might want the prisoner insured to return or that have any scruples about dangerous characters running at large, but not so well where bail is considered the easiest way of disposing of an annoying case forever and a day.
The river and harbor appropriation bill is a sort of an edge tool that must be lifted with care and that can be claimed as the exclusive property of neither party. Mr. Harris, of New Jersey, lives in a district singularly free from improvable creeks, and Democratic. To oblige his friend, Koss, another Democratic Congressman and an active supporter of the bill, Harris voted for it, anil now he has to defend and explain his vote, to his opponents, who, without caring very much about the matter, are glad to have something to talk about.
What, a clever fellow was the man branded as the}"unjust steward." He had the rights of his employer to protect and the friendship of the defaulting tenants to retain. With the craft of a politician he said 'take your bill and write down quickly about half what you owe.' He was solid with both parties.
We admire just as much the respect for the rights of the community, and
V'
.V
l-^i
the tender regard for its erring citizens which allows a prisoner and his counsel to fill out his own bail bond. We are able to recall a number of such erring citizens that are getting on very nicely under this impartial system. The next election will show whether the cemmunity wisher to continue this kind of stewardship.
Our esteemed evening contemporary is entitled to the respect of the community for its caustic criticisms on the so-called criminal court and its manner of transacting public business. The people are all concerned in a pure judiciary, and we hope it will not be long before wo shall have a court in which criminals who have money and criminals who haven't money will be oh the same footing where a pack of lawyers will not be licens'ed to traduce the character of an esteemed citizen, and carry their abuse to such an extent as to deceive the public as to who is the real criminal, the citizen on the witness stand or the thief in the dock where a record can be obtained in a bond-forfeited case that you couldn't drive a coach and six through where a murderer can be given his just dues without his moving to a distant state, making a mockery of the law and a farce of an expensive trial where bonds are not reduced for the purpose of assisting dangerous prisoners to get away where the law cannot be compromised by the payment to the loser of a.stolen sum by the thief, and where common thieves are not given tickets-of-leave to prey at will upon neighboring communities, and in t' at way run their chances of conviction.
The editor of the Banner, in the Saturday issue, evolves the following: "This letter of Mr. Lee's is as plain as we could wish. It is just like that of his colleague, Mr. Hudson, a declara tion that the majority, even if it was but one vote, shall have the right to deprive the minority of their personal rights."
This remark is followed by an at tempt to prove that the Republican party has never been in favor of popu lar government, which is proved by references to the Kansas troubles.
It is-evident that our neighbor thinks less of the Republican party because, as be thinks, it does not favor popular government. What is popular government? Is it the rule bv the majority or minority? He thinks just at present that his views must represent the popular will but would rather not trust the same to a vote.
The question of the necessity or uselessness of temperance laws has nothing to do with the right of the people to decide that question for themselves. The editor of the Banner has very positives ideas as to what he believes, and knows how he will vote on the amendments, but he is not willing to admit that his fellow-citizens have sense enough to judge the issue on its merits. lie is very much afraid that they will be driven like sheep to the polls to vote as some temperance orator bids them.
We are not able to decide whether these strictures upon Col. Hudson and and Mr. Lee result from a profound incapacity to understand their position, or a willful desire to misrepresent it. Our doubts arc not removed by his conclusion, as follows': "After these declarations of Col. Hudson and Mr, Lee there remains but one thing to do for the friends of personal liberty in the Republican party to vote mail for man for the Democratic candidates, Messrs. Kester and Scliloss. It is possible that even a Democratic legislature may pass the amendments. If such a thing should happen then we have the satisfaction of knowing that we were not defrauded as we were two years ago." We discover no signs of Kester or Scliloss being willing to submit the amendments to the people. They will not be allowed to say anything about it, but still their dodging the question is preferred by the Banner to the frank declarations of Hudson and Lee. Wo know where they stand. We do not know where the others stand, nor does the Banner know, as it admits above.
A Good Suggestion.
Madison Courier. So many trains are trying to pass eacli other on the samo track now-a-days, a railroader suggests that these experiments be made with empty cars.
Quite Appropriate.
Cincinnati Commercial. On the|day after the heaviest rain-fall known in Kew York In half a century, the Herald distinguished Itself by publishing an article on "The drying up of water on the surface of the earth." It was quite appropriate.
Big Possessions.
Post-Dlspatcli. A circular was set afioat In Wall street tlieotherday in which Jay Gould's wealth was set down at $100,000,IW. The author of the document Is probably not aware of tho fact that Mr. Gould has acquired the state of Missouri, which is alone worth, at tho least calculation, one billion dollars.
Cheap Peerages.
Cincinnati Gazette. Admiral Seymour and Gen. Wolseley aro to be rewarded by the peerage—the 'first for firing on a defenseless city whose surrender was tendered him, anttso getting Great Britain into a war with a helpless peoplo whom she could casib' whip the second for that, after immense preparation and long delay and much strategy, with the crack Brittish regiments, lie routed a lot of freshly levied Fellahs, who ran at tho first lire. Cheap peerages!
INDIANA POLITICS.
A os In cratic candidate inThos. 11. Cobb's district (tho Seeondi, is making vigorous speeches for submission of the amendments to a direct vote at a special election. Hois giving his opponent lots of trouble, and if the tide continues to set in his favor, it is not unlikely Mr. Hostetter may bo elected.
Cabbage, the democratic candidate for the legislature in Warrick county, defines his position on the amendments thusly: "I am In favor of submitting the amendments, but must, as a matter of principle, voto against them, on their merits or, more specifically, I am infavorofsubmlttlng them, but will voto and work against It."
The independent democratic movement iu Allen county has reached formidable
dimensions and bids fair to overthrow the regular organization-and defeat the regular ticket at the coming election. At a meeting held by the Independents on Saturday night, at the academy of music in Fort Wayne, the building was filled to overflowing.
P. S. Sutton: "The reason Henricks did not help me get the nomination for clcrk oX the supreme court was bccause he was too busy fixing up the double-dealing-look-both-ways-anti-prohlblUon submission-whis-ky-on one shoulder-and-water-on-the-other -straddle--of the-fence-Tom-Hen-dricks-platform."
Judge Hord, the Democratic candidate for attorney general, was unfortunate the other night in having delivered an antiprohibition speech at a place where, if he had obeyed Chairman McDonald's instructions, he would simply have "arraigned the Republicans." It so happened that at fhat place most of the Democrats were prohibitionists, and whenHordfinished his harangue, one of the local managers told him that be thought that speech was good for about 200 votes for the Republicans. The next appointment of the Judge for Bloomington was canceled, the Monroe county committee being of the opinion that they do not want any of Ilord's speeches in their region of country, and it is understood that the word has gone out fornoanti-prohibition speeches in the Fifth congressional district.

Stoaley's Talk.
Indianapolis Journal. Mr. O. O. Stealey—and we call tho attention of the Sentinel to this—has written a letter to the Courier-Journal from the classic city of Terre Haute. In the letter tills graphic young Democratic writer says: 'The Tall Sycamore of the Wabash, who resides In this pretty and classic place, with its many beautiful churches, has had a great deal of trouble in his time trying to smooth over bitter internal fights in his party and keep his brethren together in peacc and unity."
That is the Story all over the state. "Bitter internal fights" are the rule everywhere, and to "keep the brethren together in peacc and unity" is a Hcrculcan task for tlio Big Four. Mr. Stealey further says, as to the congressional contest be 'tween Mr. Pcirce and Mr. Lamb, in the eighth district: "If I had but little money and had other uses for it, I don't believe I would bet it on Mr. Lamb defeating the Republican candidate, R. B. F. Peirce."
Again, wo remark, O. .O. S. is a boon, and we rejoice to copy liberally from his interesting letters.
I.amb Fries.'
Clinton Herald: The Terre Haute Gazette says that Hon. R. B. F. Pierce sat on a pumjikiu and listened to John Lamb's speech a few days ago. That Is a fact, and Bobby will "sit down on" another pump kin before tho joint canvass is over. Do you hear that.
Clinton Herald: When Pierce was setting on that pumpkin, he had more brains under his coat tail than there was on the rostrum from which Lamb was speaking.
Crawfordsvillc Times: One of the leading Democrats of Vermillion county told the editor of the Clinton Herald last week "that he would "see John Lamb farther in h—1 than a pigeon could fly in a month before lie would vote for John E. Lamb
Tho Herald congratulates him upon his good judgement and mentions the name of Robert Pierce.
ALL S0ETS.
[TO SUSAN.].
Susan adorned her well-turned limbs With delicate hose, but not for show For everywhere that Susan went,
The wind was sure to go.
It followed her to church one day, Playfully gamb'ling round, Was mischievous, naughty on the street
As Susan often found.
And when the sexton shut It out It frisked and capered near, Roaming impatiently about
Till Susan should appear.
"What makes tho wind plague Susan so?" Kind hearted young men cried "'Cause Susan don't object, vou know,"
An elderly maid replied. Chicago Tribune: Ben Butler is a Democrat this season. In case Ben is defeated the Massachusetts Governorship ho would have made a flno weatlier-vanc.
Baltimore American: There have been so many concerned bogus noblemen at the resorts tills summer that tho real article was really afraid to own up.
It lias beon ungallantly said that the telephone docs hat society rules have always been uuequal to—compels women who use it to talk ono at a time.
Boston Star: "Every mother-in-law is somebody's mother," says the sentimental unmarried. After he is married he will be made painfully aware of the fact a dozen times a day.
A young man of Brownsville, N. Y., who was to have been married last Tuesday, borrowed 810 TVom his afilanced on Monday and left town. The sad incident shows that there is no gamo which some cannot beat.
Norristown Herald: The Philadelphia News says that every house in Brownsville, Texas, has the yellow fever, and every third house in Lowell, Mass., has an amateur musician. Lowell has our warmest. sympathy.
Paris Figaro: A man who sent his servant with a letter to post told him to inquire if one stamp was sufficient. The postal clcrk said the letter was overweight, and must have another stamp. "But," said tho fellow, "to put another stamp on will only make It heavier."
Louisville Courier Journal: "Mary Jane," said Dickey. "What?" said Mary Jane," "Mary Jane," said Dickey, "what is the difi'crence between an affectionate wife and a wifo that Isn't affectionate?" "Why," said Mary Jane, "one loves him, and the other dosen't, yon ninny." "What a fool!" said Dickey "that isn't the answer. The difference-is this: One hugs her husband, and the other husbands licr hugs." "Don't- you wish you had a husband, Dickey?" said Mary Jane.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 27.1882.
THE SOUTH WIND.
NOTE,—This poem was received. by tho Sunday Magazine from Miss Parnell on July20tti, the day of her death. .. Out of the perfumed, beantlfnl'Soutli, out of.the hoiue-of the rosea, ..
Blow,-O Wind of-theSummerSeas, wind of the Isles of the Blest I Come where my heart, like a flower In drouth, chalice and petals unclosos,
Sighing in paip for the dew and breeze, faint with a mil try unrest. Rise, O wlad of the SoutU, and howl!, set -the fountain of spices flowing.
Aloes and casein, ana costliest card, cinnamon, saffron and myrrh Come where tho stunted saplings grow, set the garden and orchard glowing. •Breathe on the earth that is stripped ana hard, till the young life waken and stir, Like a bird in nest at tho break of day, with its wings in dreams uplifted.
Thrilled with a sense of the coming dawn, ere the luminous gates unclose, Or a germ from the tropical groves astray, on tho vagrant breezes drifted,
Waiting the birth of a brighter morn, in its cerements of alien snows.
Bleak is my garden, sterile and dark, never a bud with sunlight flushes: Sealed is the font of odor and balm, fled and dead is the voice of song Mute are the cushat, mavis and lark, never a rill with music gushes
Barren are vine and fig-tree and palm, chill is the day, and the night is long Ever I wait and watch for the spring, for the bloom and glory of May,
Looking for youth in liis robes of gold, and for love, like a King alighting. That my soul may soar from the dust and sing in the glow of a magical day:
But the pitiless hours fly one by one, and no sound the stillness breaking, Heralds the feet of a risen Love, with the silver strains of the past
Never the day that is dead and done shall return for anew nwakin Never the wing of tho slaughtered dove shall brooa o'er the nest at last.
Wind of the North! thou hast nipped my llowers, nipped and blasted my finest and fairest
How could they blossom beneath thy breath?—thou who art bitter and fierce and chill Keep but away from my frozen bowers— all tliat is loveliest then, and rarest,
Freed from thy terrible spell of death, vineyard and orchard and sward shall fill. Wind of the South! thou tarrlest longcome ere the tender roots be perished
Shall I not make me a garden meet for the Lord of an Eden of light?— Shall not the blossoms grow rich and strong, that on earth He most has cherished?
Shall I have naught that is fair and sweet?— naughtuutthc frost, and the storm and the blight? All! 'tis In vain tlintl make my prayor— still is the ice-wind o'er me sweeping
Still do I hold my vigil of woe, still do I shudder 'ncalh wintry skies Still Is my garden pallid and bare stlll are the torpid vineyards sleeping
Never the wind ot the South shall blow, till it blows from the Hills of Paradise.
The Morality Bard.
Laramie Boomerang. "I want to get a position for my "wife on your paper if could," said a meek man, with a slight tinge of reproach, as he came into the office and sat down on the desk with his coat-tails in the cold, calm depths of the paste fountain. "She is really one of the literati, although people who has known her only by her washin' and ironin' don't suspect it. I, however, know her great mental scope. I've been married to her twenty-one years' next frost, and I've been thrown more or less in contact with lier. My soul and hern has communed together time and again, and we have discussed questions of considerable depth off and on. "She writes a good, legible hand and is quick in figures. Whether you want some one to make out bills for pay lo cals, or write a eulogy on a paid-up subscriber, she's your huckleberry, She's a perfect lady, and you might have her on your corps for years and the forked tongue of scandal would .never touch you. She's plain of course, in feature, and has an impediment in one limb, it being shorter than the other by four inches. That gives her an eccentric movement, when she walks, like a sclf-rake reaper but
Lord, you never'd notice that after you come to know and love her. "She can trill a stanza of poetry occasionally, too, if you give her time to think of "a few hard words. She has wrote some as fine things as I have ever saw-in the English language. She is better, however, on death than anything else. She loves to turn loose and mourn in easy ryhme at so much per stanza and found. "She wrote a short poem on the death of .a young man in our neighborhood, who was drowned while in a-swimming in the Stinking Water creek. It run something like this
"O, treacherous, treacherous tide, oung William for to drownd— To madly yank him off his base
And whirl him round and round. "We found himMn the twilight hour, Freed from his earthly woes His calm face upward.turning,
And alkali up his nose.
"His person was sunk in theshiftingsand, His mouth was open wide, The pollywogs nestled in Ills ears,
Beneath the fragrant tide. "His open-back shirt lay on the shore, And the balance of Ills trousseau, While his soul went.scooting up theflume,
Out through the ether blue. 'Twas down around the Coyote Point, We found him when evening fell, And wo planted him under tho cactus vines,
In the shaft of the Mountain Bell.
"Good-bye William, far away On the edge of a large damp cloud, Though you'ro among the angel gang,
Vou needn't feel so doggon proud.
"I will also leave with you a few sonnets which are the work of her pen. You can look them over and let me know in a day or two what salary you feel like paying a woman of her strength of intellect and grip of genius. Till then adieu. 1 will call again Friday and complete the trade." Without another word he was gone, and he has not been seen since. Later ori, however, when we want to double up the subscription of the paper, we will publish another one of these poems. With our present facilities we dare not do it.

A Tornado's Antics.
New York Tribune. Tornadoes have a special fancy and faculty for performing astonishing antics, and the one which visited Winstead, Conn., last Thursday, was not
behind any of its predecessors in that respect. Here and thef-e out of the direct path, of the wind a solitary tree lias been torn and twisted, while its immediate neighbors stand unruffled. At one point seven huge trees in a group were forced together and their trunks twined into a gigantic coil, which" still stands upright But the most surprising feat of the tempest was performed upon the person of of John Burke. That worthy Irishman 'was whirled- out of his room," where he sat reading, and deposited in a pig-sty four hundred feet away. It is at least certain that he was found uninjured in a sty, and the community takes his word for it that lie was carried there on the wings of the wind. .-DYING VISIONS.
mm
\v:i
What Peoplo See When About Leaving the World. Detroit Free Press.
A-vcritic has recently pointed outthat an inconsistency in Hamlefs speaking "of that undiscovered country, from whose bourne no traveler returns," when he had just seen, as his companions had also seen, or imagined they saw, Hamlet's .father, a traveler who had come from that undiscovered country, and with whom the J7rince of Denmark had had along and serious talk. We do not recall that this curious oversight on the part of Shakspeare has ever before been remarked, but it shows that the poet was, like the rest of his race, tremendously conscious of that impenetrable curtain which shuts off the visible from the invisible—that mere scum or coating, as Carlyle puts it, over which we walk, liable at any moment to plunge into the unknown and sunless abyss beneath. The habit of the poet's mind made him forget his effort in the early part of the play to give form and substance to the universal hope of life and personality beyond the veil, and to recur to the general conviction that no voice has ever yet come out of the eternal silence.
It is to satisfj' this hope that men listen with eagerness to every word of revelation, to every story of ghosts, to every manifestation of power that is unusual and mysterious. Emerson objected to "spiritualism," its rappings, its tyile-tippings and its messages, as the'expression of mere vulgar curiosity. He did not believe in the "picking of locks." But men always have been and always will be intent on peering behind that portentious door, and, if possible, opening it to the light of public day.
In a recent publication Miss Frances Power C'obbe suggests that it would be wiser for those seekers after the key or the keyhole into eternity, were they to watch more closely the conduct of the dying than for communication with the dead. Under rare conditions and in wise, calm temper, impossible to the friends and relations, she believes that perhaps something might be gained in confirmation of men's hopes in a future existence. Instances certainly are not uncommon of an apparent reaching forward on the part of the dying person into the unknown, and catching and apprehending, while still in the flesh, glimpses from tlie life beyond. Generally the dying person is in the act of expiring, when lie looks up, sometimes starts up, and gazes on what to others is but the vacant air, or the familiar objects around, and expresses intense astonishment, mingled sometimes with joy,-some-times with overwhelming awe. If in health and under the ordinary circumstances of life one should see a face lit up in this manner, he would know that the person so moved had seen some event or object which causcd the most profound surprise or the most rapturous joy but at the moment this actually takes place death has come, and the eyes glaze even as they gaze at this mysterious vision. The soul has departed even at the very instant of its supreme exultation.
She cites several instances of this phenomenon, the like of which has probably fallen within the experience of every adult person. One was a patient who, in the full possession of his senses, was talking in a strong voice and with consciousness quite alive Suddenly a look of great delight came into his face he gazed intently toward one corner of the room and exclaimed: "There is Jim," a young son whom liehad lost a year before. His friend, thinking that he meant another son, John, who was expected every moment, said: "No John has not been able to come." The dying man turned a little impatiently and said: "I do not mean John—I know he is not here—it is Jim, my little lame Jim surely you remember him? There he is," pointing to the vacant space on which his eyes were fixed. And when his friend declared: he could not see .the vision, the dying man turned almost with an indignant glance toward him but at that moment a film closed over his eyes, the look of intelligence passed away, and, with a gentle sigh, he expired. Previous to the time of his exclaiming "There is Jim!" tliere were no signs of approaching death.
Still another story is of a young boy upon whose face came a look of ecstacy, and who, when his mother asked him if he saw somctliing beyond the world, pressed her hand. Upon an elderly man death came suddenly lie had been lying for hours in a state wherin it was almost impossible to tell whether he was alive" or dead. Suddenly came the eager, rapt gaze of wonder and joy then a sigh, and all was over. In another case the light seemed so suddenly to shine from the face of the dying that those in the room instinctively turned whither the eyes were gazing to seek for the cause. A dying woman once saw not only three brothers who were known to be dead, but. a fourth supposed lo be alive in India. After her death letters arrived announcing his death, which occurred some time before her own.
Nor does it by any means happen that these visions come to intensely religious people with minds predisposed to belief in another world and imaginations already trained to,a conception of spirits and "the crystal world in which they dwell." Persons who have rejected revelation and doubted the realities of the unseen, persons of indifferent or materialistic dispositions, have likewise beheld them. A careful.and intelligent compilation of these incidents, with accurate presentation of their details, would be likely to yield valuable results, whatever they*might' determine as to the cause and nature of them.
