In hoc—No sign of Venus.

There were a number of points at which the weather was clear enough to obtain good photographs of the transit of Venus.

The minority reports on the reduction of internal taxation from the ways and means committee were brought into the house yesterday.

Man occasionally proposes and God disposes in the oil business. The opening of a few unexpected new wells upset the bulls considerably and prices went down.

Tho "Gospel of Relaxation" is being preached to us. There is danger that Boino of the converts will be too religious and carry the practice of relaxation to the point of fanaticism.

The prospect is now that we are likely to freeze up tight, that wheat and corn will loosen up and move into laarket rapidly, and that the proverb, "a late trade is^i light trade" will not hold good this season.

A French journal expresses insult ing opinions of our valued navy, and thinks that the Gallic fleet could ruin all our ports at short notice. It is not likely that this little crow will raise the appropriation a dollar.

The improvement in the# New York stock market is ascribed to the efforts of the two heaviest operators to conn teract the effects of tho Northwestern fight. They are just ns likely to gore each other, are these bulls.

Our government can advance the marine business of the country in other ways than by subsidies. The senate appropriated $7,000 in aid of exhibitors in tho Amsterdam exposi tion of 1883, but the bill was lost in the house. Holland is a very small country but its trade is great. Tho appropriation was small also, but judicious.

Mr. Dorsey's precarious physical condition draws forth expressions of sympathy. It will be noticed that at the same time hints or even dircct charges will bo made to direct suspicion against those who are fighting the star route offenders. There will be many insidious attempts todefaiue honorable -names to shelter Dorsey, Brady and company.

Nimmo, chief of the bureau of statistics, presents some figures of interest. Among others are these: The enrollment of pupils in the colored public schools of the south was 784,709, or 44 per cent, of the colored school population of the southern states. The outlook for the south is very cheering when tho rapid advance of its poorest population is noted. The eolith is rising along its whole line.

"\Ye liko to advanco from little to greater things. There are people in Chicago who want the city government to run tho street railroads. Since it takes so much of an average citizen's thno to sufficiently "blast" public officials, it seems strnnge that there should be a desiro to entrust them with more responsibility or temptation. This applies to tho general government taking charge of telegraphs or any business run in private hands.

Ex-Chief Burnett seems to be causing a great deal of trouble. His last act was an assault on his successor, Lawrence Krebs, at the department headquarters yesterday. From all accounts it was a despicable act, and emphasizes the demand which all good citizens have been making for some time that ho should be relieved from office. As the Express stated a lews days since, Burnett is a bad possession either to a party or a city.

Home democratic papers express the deep regret felt because the new congress can not begin to save the country for a year. They advise the democratic minority in the present house to lay low and wait for developments, expressing the belief that the republicans will not reduce the taxes sufficiently. The recommendations from the administration do not encourage this belief. The amount of the reduction to be made is very plainly figured out. It is the difference between the present revenue and the amount really necessary to run the government. The congress now in session understands this as well as the democrats do.

Amidst the perplexities attending the adjustment of the revenue, civil service reform cannot be advanced to a great extent during thisand the next year. We question if there are many members of congress who daregrap-

gle the subject without thought of the consequences to themselves and political allies. Sweeping measures possibly would not be desirable, for with all the demand for reform there are too many whose interests would suffer. A bill more radical than the majority desires would become a dead letter. But steps in the direction of reform can be taken. AB the president has pointed out, too much time is used in making appointments. Too much of our politics is office seeking, but while so many in either party want the offices we cannot look for positive measures to prevent a new set scheming for them every four years. It is all right lor any competent man to aspire to any office that is in the market, but if it is not always at the disposal of 6ome politician there will be fewer applicants, The fixing of the tenuie of subordinate and clerical offices outside of a party's reign will be one step. Preventing the entire force of employes from combining for re-election would be another and here the assessment business counts. Much of the reform proposed by advanced reformers is Utopian. We do not want so much,but what is practical for a people more practical than sentimental.

Archbishop of Canterbury. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the most Rev. Archibald Campbell Tait, P. D., D. C. L., passed quietly away Sunday morning, after a fingering illness. It is understood that the remains will be interred in Westminster abbey. He was born in Edinburgh in 1811. He was the highest dignitary in the Anglican branch of the Catholic church, and attained his elevation by Blow and sure steps. In 1833 ho was married to Catherine Spooner, daughter of the venerable Archdeacon Spooner of Elmdon. At that time he was head-master of the famous school of Rugby, which position he held till 1849, when he was chosen dean of Carlisle. After seven years of active life there he was appointed bishop of London, and on the 23d of November. 1S56, he was consecrated in the chapel at Whitehall, arid entered at once upon the duties appertaining to the greatest diocese in the world, consisting of at least 1,000 clergymen. But there was a higher honor still in store tor him. and in 1S68 he was enthroned as Archbishop in the magnificent Cathedral of Canterbury. The Archbishop, in right of his office, wielded a power only little less than that of the throne itself. At all royal births, christenings, confirmations, and marriages, he bore a prominent part. With a palace at Lambeth (a sort of suburb of-London), and a country seat at Addington, with a princelv income, and social, legislative and ecclesiastical duties of the highest order pressing upon him, there was nothing wanting to make such a life honorable and exalted in the noblest sense of the word. But the Archbishop's "life was not without sorrow. While living at Carlisle, a great sorrow came to him and his wife, they losing in quick succession five lovely little girls. And later, in 1S78, another sorrow came upon them, the death of their only son, Crawford, who visited this country in 1S77, and who took part in the services at the opening of the general convention October 2, in Trinity church, Boston. He died a few months after his return to his native land, and not long after was followed by his mother, whose work was done and well done. After her death letters of sympathy from the queen of England, frolij bjsfiops and clergy of all lands,

from men and women of high renown, poured in upon the bereaved husband, now gone to join them in unknown land.

THE QUEEN'S GILLIE.

Startling Comments on the Qneen and Her Jolin Brown.

Remarkable Manifesto Issued in London JnsttfyingAssassinatlon

Special Cable Letter to the Post Dispatch LONDON, Dec. 4.—A new secret revolutionary society in England has just issued the following remakable address: "There are circumstances under which political assassinations is justifiable and necessary and when murder is no crime. We must have anarchy before we have peace and order. We must have revolution before we can have law. We want to do away with all existing institutions and overthrow all government, because they are opposed to the wishes and welfare of the people. We must and will have revolution. Then we will have a true government, based upon the will of the people, when each and all will be equal."

An active campaign is to be carried on during the winter months, and violent revolutionary pamphlets are to bo circulated.

CANTERBURY'S SUCCESSON The Bishop of Winchester will in all likelihood become the -primate. Dr. Edward Harold Brown, who is nearly 72, was a school fellow of Mr. Gladptone at Eaton, and was afterwards with him at Oxford. They have always been close friends. Dr. Brown is a clever man and a profound scholar, and has taken a good deal of interest in the Old Catholic movement on the continent. He is in politics a Liberal, and so popular personally that his appointment would give general satisfaction.

SXEEIUNU AT AMERICAN LITERATURE. Dean Bradley's formal consent to the placing sf a bust of Longfellow in Westminster Abbey is coupled with the extraordinary suggestion to inscribe Irving's name on its base or on an adjacent tablet. The Daily- NewS justly ridicules the proposition, ridiculing also, as usual, American literature generally, and announcing that Irving and Poe were the best prose writers. The. same paper yesterday eulogized Oliver Wendell Holmes cordially, and was unable to conclude the article without a characteristic sneer at American writers as half intelligible in England.

TIM QUEEN AND .TOHN I'.ROW.N". An unusually interesting correspondent writes the following about the queen: There may be more than grief in the long protracted mourning of the t^yal widow still when it talkes the form of constant companionship with the gillie John Brown, on account of some invisible likeness to the prince consort, undetected by any save her, it is difficult to believe "that this form of homage can be agreeable to "my sainted Albert." Nor is it likely that in the abode of bliss he can derive any special comfort from seeing his royal relict cling in her daily walk to the ungraceful fashion of hooped skirt and short, paper-like silk gown, which obtained in his life time. The obsti nacy of the queen is proved by the open, persistent favoritism shoWh to this same John Brown. Incomprehensible and meaningless, it goads almost to madness her immediate entourage, and every open or tacit opposition "only causes it to be more manifest that the proudest of proud women has been made by a preconcerted plan to see this servant of hers in the most degrading state of drunk enness," almost at her very fbet, and yet with an Infatuation stronger than femininity, her manner to him re mains unchanged and she made no sign that could give a clue to her secret thoughts. Ladies in waiting of exalted rank have rebelled openly against the breach of etiquette his familiarity has created, and refused to be made a party to it. But .snubbed by them, he Was only the more graci ously treated by his royal mistress. He follows her like a "shadow from place to place, in public and in pri vate behind her chair at her meals in the rumble of her carriage in her drives bending over to exchange a few words and calmly possessing himself of her field-glass to inspect some distant maneuver of a review.

DR. HAMILTON.

Serious Illness of One of President Garfield's Physicians. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—Dr. .Frank H. Hamilton, who was one of President Garfield's physicians, is lying serious ly ill at his residence, 38 west Thirtysecond street. On Thanksgiving day he appeared to be in perfect health, with the exception of a throat aflec tion, which rendered him hoarse for many months. At five o'clock on the following afternoon he was seized with a hemorrhage which appeared to come from the lungs. It prostrated him at once. Dr. John II. Hinton was summoned. He said he did not believe that the patient's lungs were affected. The hemorrhage seemed to be uue to bronchial irritation and congestion produced by a cold. Dr. Hamilton had

Two More Hemorrhages,

and two on Sunday. Dr. Deaming and Dr. Austin Flins, Sr., were summoned to a consultation. They announced afterward to the family" that the patient would probably recover. The hemorrhages, they said, were more of a relief than otherwise, and his recovery was more likely than if the}' did not occur. The patient had another hemorrhage yesterday morning, and there was another consultation of the doctors in the afternoon. Dr. Hamilton himself is confident he will recover. He does not talk to any one, but writes replies to questions. On Sunday he wrote an essay on the use of tobacco. He insists on having the newspapers read to him morning and evening.

LAXGTRY AND LABOIJCHERE.

A Wall Street BrokerSaid to Have Been the Cause of the Trouble. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat

BOSTON, Dec. 5.—"O, please don't say a word about the matter," said Mrs. l^angtry beseechingly to the reporters who sought to probe the quarrel which had separated the "Jersey Lily" from her guide, philosopher and friend, the wife of Labouchere, who crossed the Atlantic on purpose to chaperone her through America. "We are as good friends as ever. It is only :i mistake," and the Langtrys look was most pathetic, but Mrs. La-

wim

bouchere had been heard from. She said some objectionable person with whom 6lie could not associate had caused, the. separation, and the only question was who the offending party might be. Langtry-would not tali, but after various telegraphic conferences with New York, it was ascertained that Col. Robert 0. Hutchings^ a Wall street broker, had come on from New York. Dispatches from that city led to the detailing of a reporter who interviewed Hatchings, nominally on stock, but really with the object of getting some opinions regarding Langtry. That Mr. Hutchings, who is a

WEALTHY MANIPULATOR OF STOCKS, had made the "Lily's" acquaintance and admired her, seemed established before the reporter's visit, and the latter's observations confirmed the theory. Mr. Hutchings spoke enthusiastically of the "Lily," but intimated also that she did not act wisely. Since the supposition that the broker was the object of Mrs. Labouchere'saversion gained currency, Mr. Hutchings' room at the Parker House, so far as reporters could learn, has known him no more. He has certainly been most assiduous and successful in keeping out of the way.

It is reported about town that the cause of the feeling which Mrs. Laboucliere ib alleged to entertain toward Hutchings is to be traced to a quarrel, which is asserted to have taken place between the lady and her husband. Hutching as a friend of the editor of London Truth, is said to have sided with the husband, and because the "Lily" would not take up the quarrel the separation occurred. Mrs. Langtry feels greatly exercised over the matter.

MACVEAGH ON DORSEY.

A Caustic Keply to the Stnr Router arid iv Breezy Letter to James. Thilatlclphia Tress.

The Hon. Wayne MacVengli was seen last evening by a Press reporter^ on his return from New York, and in terrogated as to S. W. Dorsey's card to the public and its statements concerning Mr. MacYeagh and JMr. James. The ex-attorney general w.as in ft cheery mood, and indicated that life did not think thero wbs occasion for any special expression on the subject. "I cannot," said Mr. MacYeagh, "have any controversy with"a man who has been indicted by two grand juries and adjudged guilty by lOjurors out of 12, the remaining two having pronounced the same verdict against his tools. I am not without a feeling of pity for him mixed with contempt. If, after his narrow escape and in view of the danger still hanging over him, it is any solace to abuse Postmaster General James and myself I am willing that lie should be "indulged in its free enjoyment. How I feel about these assaults may perhaps best be indicated by the note I wrote to Mr. James when the Dorsey letters were published'last summer with the more lively and picturesque stories which he poured oiU»to Gen. Garfield before we were called to the cabinet. I was just turning over this note Mr. MacYeagh then handed the reporter the following note:

BROOKFIELD FARM, Aug. 24, 1882. MY DEAR JAMES: Of course I was both surprised and gratified by the Dorsey letters, and in this matter I have a slight advantage over you. The thieves evidently foresaw an enemy in you also, but it is plain that they regarded me as oven more dangerous to gentlemen of their profession. While I had always opposed and denounced the knaves who infest and dishonor the Republican party, I did not imagine that they credited me with such aggressive and unswerving honesty that they would be panic-stricken at the suggestion that I was to be at the head of the department of justice. Such testimony to my character I value more than the applause of good men, because it is far less likely to be mistaken, and therefore, in the "words of Mr. Burke, "in every accident which may happen in life I will tall to mind the ravings of the Brady-Gorham-Buell-Dorsey gang," and be comforted. Sincerely yours,

WAYNE MACVEAGII.

To Hon. Thomas L. James. -jy

A Prize-Figlit Between Women. London Telegraph. A Twickenham correspondent writes: "A novel prize-fight has taken place at a small suburban village not many miles distant from Hanwcll. For some time past considerable ill-feeling appears to have existed among certain sections of the market uarden womeh employed in the heighborhood, and recently it was decided to settle the matter by a stand-up fight between two of the most prominent and pugilistic members representing the two classes at variance. Accordingly, at the midday meal the rival parties quietly adjourned to a field at a goodly distance from the public highway where a ring was formed ana various preliminaries carried out to tho satisfaction of all. The feminine pugalists, with their seconds, presented themselves, the one being a boxum Shropshire lassie, who is said to have gained proficiency in the noble art of aelf defense while traveling a few years ago with a 'boxing saloon' company, and the other a stalwart daughter of Erin, wh® boasted that she had been engaged in a hundred lights and had never been beaten. The two fought for a few minutes only, for in the third round the Irishwoman (who up to that time had gained a slight advantage by blackening her opponent's eyes) received a blow in the ribs which incapacitated her from continuing the light, and her second threw up the sponge, amid the applause of tho other side. In the evening the two parties sat down to a substantial supper of beefsteak and onions, and afterwards swore eternal friendship over a gallon of whisky provided at the expense of the woman who had been vanquished.

The Two Goats.

Boston Post. Somebody hung a red bed-spread on clothes-line over at Somerville the other day, and Mrs. Moriarity's goat saw it from the north just as Mrs. Finnegan's goat caught sight of it from the south. The Moriarity goat was a little the furthest from it, but he traveled the fastest, so they got there just the same instant and recoiled about eight feet each, and they stood and thought over it about twenty minutes before a sudden flap of the spread decided them to try it again, and that time they got less out of it than before, but they got their mad up and stuck to it till one lost a horn ana the other an eye, and the Moriaritys and Finnegans are now sworn foes.

American Courtship.

Honrv James in the December Century. "Tliey don't adore you over here," writes the American girl returned from Europe to her European friends "They pnly make you think they are

going tt. Do you remember two gentlemen who arrived here to si me a ioiir de.role?f At firet I never dreamed .they nere^ making love to me, though mamma was sure it must be that then as it went on a good while, thought perhaps it was that, and I ended by seeing that it wasn anything. It was simply conversation they are very fond* of conversation over here. Mr. Leverett and Mr. Cockerel disappeared one fine day, without the smallest pretentibn to having broken my heart, I ain sure, though itonlv depended on me to think they had. All the gentlemen are like that you can't tell what they mean everything is very confused society appears to consist of a sort of innocent jilting."

Suckers, Badgers and Pukes. Gath In Cincinnati-Enquirer. The word "sucker," as applied to Illinois people, is said to be derived from a Missouri man at Galena, where the miners transiently lived. He said: "Boys,* where are you going?" They replied, "Home." "Well," said he, "you put me in mind of suckers up in the spring to spaw*, and all return in the fall." The Wisconsin men, who stayed over at the lead mines all winter, were generally called badgers. The Missourians soon swarmed to the lead mines as if they had been vomited out of the ground, and the Illinois people called them pukes, a word which stuck many years. Stephen A. Douglas thought the word sucker was derived from the custom of drinkingmint juleps through a straw. Douglas said that when the Virginians stormed Kaskaskia they saw the French all sitting around tables sucking their juleps, and shouted, as they rushed, "Surrender, you suckers."

'tis• A Rajah's Throne of Gold, From the London News. Although the power of the native Indian rajahs has declined, there ap' pears to be no corresponding falling off in the splendors by which they have been accustomed to surround themselves. The Hindu Patriot's correspondent at Burdwan states that a splendid throne of gold has just been prepared by two native artists of Calcutta for Ins highness the maharaja. The names of the artists arc llarokamar Roy and Kamulkumar Roy. There are" 7,000 tollohs of gold in the throne (the tolloh is nearly half an ounce Troy), and it is exquisitely decorated with vignette work on all sides. On the top of the back there is the maharaja's crest surmounted with magnificent jewels of great beauty. It is added that tho throne does great credit to native workmanship.

The Wisdom of Solomon Eclipsed. North China Daily News. A curious decision is reported as having been given by a Chinese mandarin the other day. A Chinese who had been drinking in a tea house pulled out a dollar to pay the bill. ThiB was immediately claimed by an Indian, who was there too, and who accused the Chinaman of having stolen it from him. On the matter being referred to the magistrate a sec ond claimant appeared in the form of a Japanese, but neither could make good his case. After profound deliberation the magistrate came to tl}£ conclusion that there was not the slightest evidence to prove that the dollar belonged to either the Japanese or the Hindoo he declared, therefore, that it should be divided, equally between them, and the Chinaman discharged from custody.

Had aBetter Thing.

Detroit Free Pre6s It Was real funny to see him brace up as he turned the corner, button on his threadbare black coat, adjust his hat, shove a pencil over his ear, and try to disguise himself. When he had fixed himself he passed down the street, entered a saloon, and walking straight up to the bar he asked: "Is your n^me.Blank?" "I expect it is, WHS the reply. "John Blank?" "Vhell, der boys call me Shon." "Can I speak to you in private, Mr. Blank?" "You can speak right out here. Nobody is around except my boy und he don' hear us." "I thought It would bo better to sit down nt a table and talk over our glasses of beer." "I guess not. I can shtand oop und hear all y-.u say." "Well, ilr. Blankj I have been deputized to ask you if yoU would be a candidate for mayor next vear." "Me?" "Yes. You are said to be one of the most popular men in Detroit. You are rich, popular, liberal, and could be elected by a large majority."

The saloonist looked at him for a long minute and then asked: "Are you d»y "Never was so dry in my life."

With a perfectly placid countcnance Mr. Blank filled a "Bchooner" with water, placed it on the-bar, and looked the man square in the eye as he said: "I vhas a tousand times obleeged to der povs, but I can't occept dot office. "You can't? Don't you want to be mayor of Detroit?" "No, my friendt. I haf sometings better ash dot. I vash going to run for governor next time! Come in real often and drink to my success."

Phrases of Women.

London Spectator. Woman is an idol that man worships until he tiirows it down.

Women love always when earth slips from them they take refuge in heaven.

The whisper of a beautiful woman can be heard further than the loudest call of dutv^,

Montague: There is no torture that a woman would not sufl'cr to enhance her beauty.

Malherbe: Of all things .that man possesses women alone take pleasure in being possessed.-

A. Dupuy: Before promising a woman to love only her one should have seen them all or should see only her.

We meet in society many beautiful and attractive women whom we think

5

would make excellent wives—for our friends. We censure the inconstancy of women w'hen we are the victims we find it .charming when we are the objects.

The highest mark of esteem a woman can give a man is to ask his friendship, and the most signal proof of indifference is to offer him hers.

Retif de la Bretonne: At twenty a man is less a lover of woman than of women he is more in love with the sex than with the individual) however charming she may be.

MissBraddon: Men are so fearful Of wounding a woman's vanity that they rarely remember that she may by some possibility possess a grain of common sense.

Senac de Meilhan: Woman among savages is a beast of bnrden in Asia she is a piece of furniture in Europe she is a spoiled child.

Madam de Girardin: It is not easy to be a widow one must reassume all the modesty of girlhood, without being allowed to feign its ignorance.

Women of the world never use harsh expressions when condemning their rivals. Like the savage, they hurl elegant arrows, ornamented with feathers of purple and azure, but with poisoned points.

The publisher of the. Beaver Falls, Pa., Courier, Mr. John F. Porter, some time ago contracted a severe cold. He says I tried half a dozen remedies ineffectually and upon recommendation of a physician I.gave Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup' a fair, square trial. It relieved "me immediately and cured my cold and catarrh entirely. It is a remedy that should be used in every household."

tion of the country will be the ruling

object in the preparation of the

paper.

It will contain all the general

news of the week, selected from

the Associated Press dispatches to

the Daily Express.

The departments devoted to In­

diana and Illinois news will be made

special features of the paper.

The Express is a reliable Repub­

lican paper and will seek to advance

the interests of that party, believing

that it is the party which can best

administer the affairs of the people

It is controlled by no faction or

clique. In the selection and prep­

aration of matter for its columns

there is first of all the intention to

serve the public upon whose sup-

poll it depends.

The proprietors believe, as a matter of business, that if your subscription is once secured it is their province to so please you that th$ renewal of the subscription will follow as a matter of course.'

Realizing the value of complete and RELIABLE market reports, extra expense has been incurred to accomplish this object.^,

As an inducement, and no less as an acknowledgement of the favor of a subscription, the proprietors will present each yearly subscriber with a well mounted, handsome and perfect map of the State of Indiana It shows townships, railroads and districts, and is in every particular just what is needed by every one. For the benefit of the people of the Wabash Valley the map was printed so as to show the adjoining Wabash territory in Illinois.
