Gov. Crittenden, in his message to the Missouri legislature, felicitates the jtate on his conduct in the treatment of the James gang.
Some one has remarked that the tariff and Fitz John 1'orter case are subjects which have heretofore attracted public attention.
On the arrival of the afternoon train from Indianapolis yesterday, the tread «f conquering heroes could be heard moving in the direction of Fasig's.
There is danger that Langtry will drop out of sight*. now that congress and a dozen or more legislatures have lesumed operations, not to speak of the star route trial.
Gov. Foster, in his message to the Ohio legislature, gives the temperance question the prominent place and says intemperance has grown to be an overshadowing evil in that state.
The great mistake of the law-maker generally, is that he thinks he must cover a statute book, binding and all, •with his wisdom. A few. good laws, rcspected by the people and well administered are better than volumes of useless laws which nobody respects.
The Illinois legislature has got into trouble in organizing. It is owing to the refusal of several Republican senators to vote for tho oauouo nominee ffr prasident pro tem. It is not thought the disaffection will extend to the contest over the United States senatorship.
They had hardly taken their seats yesterday when the members of the •tate legislature began making a display of their asininity by which the hearing of the governor's massage was postponed until to-day. An account of the ridiculous affair will be found in the Indianapolis special.
There is a convention of Indiana mayors now being held in Indianapolis. The object is to consult regarding certain amendments to the municipal Imvs to be proposed at this session of the legislature. The idea of such a convention seemed to strike their honors throughout the state in a very favorable light, and the result is a ery largely attended meeting, which adds to the peculiarity of^he fact that this is the first convention of the kind ever held anywhere. The composition of such a convention should command the respectful attention of the law makers, as the gentlemen are directly acquainted with the subjects regarding vhich they desire to enlighten the leg inlature. Moreover, they are of all political parties and no party bias is reflected in their action.
The house has passed the senate civil service bill without amendment by a vote of 155 to 47. If there was ever a more pronounced case of penitence than exhibited by congress at present it must date back farther than the memory of man. It does'not seem long since we heard all attempts at reio:m in the civil service sneered at fii slurred as "snivel service" relonn. The idea that the people are the sovereigns, and that they will astert themselves when aggravated by the audacious assumption of all power )y the office holder seems to have
Hind an abiding place within the minds of our national solons. The measure needs nothing now but the t-ignature of the president to make it i. law, and then the execution of the law to cause the people to feel that their will is being carried out.
Governor Butler, governor of Massa•achutts, no doubt experienced the happiest day of his life yesterday when he delivered an inaugural address as governor of the state. It is the position of all others that he has had most in mind for many years, chiefly because it was made difficult for him to obtain it. The more the aristocracy of Massachusetts thwarted him in the one purpose the more resolute was the old man in his determination to secure the office. In his peculiar career General Butler has been gratified in many ways, in the overthrow of an enemy, for instance, and to him t-liis would be about the acme of happiness, but never until yesterday had he been supremely liappv.
His address indicates that he intends being heard from as governor. Be gives one at a distance to understand there are many things needing bis radical treatment. We can only xuagine the state of mind of those in

A Joke!
Peoria Transcript. The head wherein no sense dwells is not always the head of innocence. The congressman who lost SC.000 at poker, of which, he regretted to say, Slo was In cash, was ln-no-cent at the national game, for example.
A Teat of Loyalty-
Indianapolis Times. If Senator Voorhees intended Kelly candidature as a test of the loyalty of senators to himself, he made his point. The Terre Haute man was bound to win, and Bernhamer was no match for the combiaatlon against him.
Change of Heart.
Indianapolis Times. The Democrats In 1879 thought that the governor, as well as the senate, ought to have a voice In the selection of the benevolent institutions' trustees. That was when we had a Democratic governor. Circumstanoes have changed, and now the Democrats, so says Jason B. Brown, want to repeal their own act, so that the senate may assume the whole responsibility. Senator Brown is the bell-weather, and where he leads the rest must follow.
Verily, We Have the Poor With Us. To the Editor of.the Express. SIB: Will you allow me to place before my fellow tax payers some figures in a condensed form, which I find in the annual report of our township trustee for 1882. I do not wish to do this with any desire to question the accuracy of the report, but to bring more vividly to our realization the real causes of a large portion of our taxes. I say, verily, we have the poor with u«, and it is proper that w£ should enquire, how comes it, that we have such an abundance of them
Has Terre Haute become a banqueting house for all the poor who may flock thither, or are we saying to every drunken and profligate head of a family, continue to be a debauchee, we will Jtake care of your wife and children? Are we saying to the profligate young men of this city, indulge in your depraved, unmanly, and unchristian course of life, we have an asylum for your ruined young women as soon as yau cast them off, sick and dying of disease and want.
Yea, verily! there is something in all this beside the question of taxes. Where shall wego with our complaints and our griefs? As well might we go with our burdens to the autocrats of despotic governments as to our board of county commissioners or city authorities. Their sympathies are with evil doers and they stand in the sight of God and men as opposed to all restraints. Should we appeal to our legislature or our courts, our appeal would be laughed at and our actions characterized as puritanic and fanatical. Let there be one case of genuine smallpox in our midst, and it would create more excitement and action on the part of the authorities than a dozen murders in the drinking saloons half a dozen suicides caused by liquor, and a score of savage beating of wives by drunken husbands.

civilization Is this an age of humantarianism, or is it an age of bacclianalianism and infidelity? But to return. Who, may we not enquire, are making us all these poor?
Somebody must answer answer to their own consciences and to their God. If they will not answer now there is a court in Heaven where they soon will hear the summons to appear and answer. At that court they will never hear the amusing and trifling words, "nolle prosequi." Here, now, are the condensed figures: Sixty-one dead poor for 1882, cost of funeral expenses to the town..S 427 00 Sixty poor conveyed to the asylum 71 00 Two hundred and ninety one passe? purchased of railroads 411 95 Grocery orders amounting to. 3,520 00
Total 54,429 95 Other items to make up the sum of nearly six thousand dollars for a little township six miles square. Add to this the Ladies' Aid Society of a thousand or more, the county asylum, the private donations and other reliefs, and we have a matter to think about. And now let me inform all readers, that the churches of Terre Haute take care and provide for the temporal wants of all their own poor members. I be lieve there is no exception. The Catholic church professes to do so, and I believe it does. The Masons profess to take care of their poor. So too the Odd Fellows, and other secret societies. Would it not then be exactly in the line of duty for the saloonists, the gamblers and the makers of intoxicating drinks to take care of their own poor. Will somebody answer me.
Terre Haute, Jan. 4, 1883.
A British Immigration Scheme. Boston Advertiser. It is reported that the British government, through its various local boards, is working jointly with those interested in what is known as Tukes' emigrant fund, a Dublin institution, to send the people of some of the impoverished districts of Ireland to this country. Agents have been in Boston and elsewhere to see what probability there was of finding work for the people sent over, but they have not met with special success, and their plan seems to be disapproval by prominent Irishmen and if it should result in throwing a large number of paupers upon this country, it would naturally meet with disfavor among the orderloving people here. It is reported that the British government would, according to the plan proposed, give the immigrants shelter and support in Boston, but it would be onlv temporary, and it is thought would not prevent them from being soon reduced to destitution.
A Homesick Diplomat.
Washington Republican. Gen. Thomas O. Osburn, minister to the Argentine Republic, who has been in Washington for a few weeks, is on the point of returning to Buenos Ayres. Gen. Osborn has represented the United States in Buenos Avers for nine years, and this is his first visit to his native land in that time. He has been so long in South America that he has come to regard that country as his home. A few days spent in Chicago, which was his place of residence for twenty years, made him homesick, and filled him with an intense desire to be off for his adopted country. He was lost in a wilderness of strange faces in Chicago, and would stand for an hour watching the rushing throngs on the busy streets without seeing a man he knew. When he left there ten years ago he was as widely known probably as any one in the citv.

The goat stood by the bill board, And he tore a yard or so From the gaily colored bills which were
To advertise the show And as he chewed reflectively, With a quiet, soulful joy, Another personage appeared—
An unsuspecting boy. He did not see the animal, Which, rampant, doth appear With fore feet on the oaken keg
Which holds the springtide beer But he gazed upon the posters. And his young heart filled with glee, For his means would gain him entrance
To the upper gallery.

With great velocity. The boy went through the bill board, But the goat, unmoved by that, With placid mein stood still and ate

A Case of Faith Cure.
Medical News. Sir Humphrey Davy, when a young man, had an experience which serves to illustrate the nature of healing by faith. Davy was employed by Dr. Beddoes, who had an extravagant theory of the curative powers of xygen, to administer gas to certain patients. Among those who came to be treated was a paralytic. Before beginning the inhalation Davy placed a thermometer under the patient's tongue to record the temperature. The man was much impressed with this and declared with great enthusiasm that he was already much relieved. Seeing the extraordinary influence of the 'man's imagination, Davy did nothing more than gravely place the thermometer under his tongue from day to day, and in a short time he reported cured.
The Wig Again in Fashion. Brooklyn Eagle. A wig-maker talked me into a secret the other day. It was becoming fashionable, he said, for women to wear wigs. Wigs are not worn to cover up baldness or because even the hair is thin, but to save trouble and as a precaution against accident, A woman who has straight hair is just now out of fashion as far as her head goes. She must crimp her hair and paste it into little waves and puffs around her forehead and down the sides of her head. This requires great care and becomes burdensome after a time. Besides, hair that is not inclined to curl at all is apt to defy the crimping pins and pomade and straighten out at an inopportune moment. The wig-maker has, therefore, come to the rescue of women so

unfortunate as to have rebellious hair. He makes wigs that may be worn on the front of the head, between the line of the forehead and the crown. The felse hair is crimped and never straightens out.
THE IjAXGTRY.
As Described by Her Dressing-Maid— How She Eats, Sleeps "Walks and Talks.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3.—"No I can not see anybody after four o'clock." The pronunciation was captivating, but the voice shrill as a peacock's. The portiere that draped the door separated the speaker and the person spoken to, There was a slight rustling of the curtain and a pretty (long) arm was thrust out for the beveled-edge carte de visite of the Herald reporter this afternoon. The arm was plastered too much for the reporter. He could not take her at a disadvantage, so he dropped his eyes—dropped them on his fingers, which he began to count like the beads wrhich pale nuns tell, till the fair head should retire, which it did with a sharp thump against the sash. He was sorrowful, then fearful, when he heard the decisive "No I am engaged. Admit no one. Give me the other garter^ This waist has no button on it." "Yes 'em," and the slave came out on her way to the wardrobe as the writer was slowly withdrawing. "What, kind of garters does Mrs. Langtry wear?" "Whatkind does ye think?" "I think she must wear side-straps. Round ones would hurt her legs." "But are they pretty Is the rubber silk, and are the buckles gold?" "Yes, they are silk, and I guess the buckles are gold, for she has the best in the kingdom, she has.""Did Freddie give them to her?" ventured the writer, cautiously, giving the maid a romantic look from the corner of his eyes to insure veracity. "Him! No. He only bought flowers and perfumery." "What did she do with the flowers?" "Oh, smelt 'em, and then played ball with the bunch." "But the perfumery?" "Oh, laws! she just about washed herself in the colognes. She put it on her hands, and her feet and stockings, and in her slippers, and on her petticoats and pillows, and—and—and —yes, on her dog! But I ain't to talk to reporters," and with this insult to the paper man she left.
Like all the English women, Mrs. Langtry wears very few skirts, narrow hoops and low shoes, with broad heels and pointed toes, heavy enough to stand the water without rubbers. The maid's eyes were elsewhere. Suddenly, the curtain ptfrted, andoutpoppedwho would have dreamed of such a sight-Mrs. Langtry's head, her head in curl-papers! The Jersey Lily's head! Black hair tied up in a wad the size of a thimble and her bangs wound up in leads. It was more than can be said of her feet. Those useful organs are neither4 short nor narrow, while her ankles are bony and prominent. Her hands are beautiful, and, it is remarkable, are never powdered for the stage. Although her complexion is not very rosy, nor the skin transparent, she makes up less than the average amateur. The penciling being an absolute necessity, to throw out the eye, is excusable. Although t.Ukt-y-four years old, she has a fresh, clean, hcann.j uiu« wv/ivngd to a girl in her teens. An epicure in her tastes, she has a ravenous appe tite, and, to quote from one of her attendants, "takes victuals like a cellar takes coal." Her room is kept at blood heat, but well ventilated. On retiring she stands over a register until she is well toasted, when she jumps into bed, snuggles between flannel sheets and a mountain of bed-clothes, and, no mat ter how cold the weather, throws open the window and goes to sleep without the least suspicion of being suflocated.
FOREIGN FLOODS.
They Take the Form of a Great Public Catastrophe. BEKMX, Jan. 4.—The inundations are taking the form 'of a great public catastrophe. Distress is increasing hourly. The military and civil authorities are making the greatest exertions to mitigate the misery of the disaster, No sign yet that the crisis of the calamity is reached. High temperature and rains continue. At Ludwigshofen,. opposite Monnlieim, where the great Rhine dam gave way last night, the lives of hundreds of people are imperiled. A steamer has rescued mady hundreds, including sick. The deepest distress prevails.
PESTIT, Jan. 4.—The Danube has inundated Pressburg, thirty-four miles from Vienna.
GENEVA, Jan. 4.—The Paris & Lyons railway on the French frontier was washed away. Direct railway service between "Switzerland, France and Italy is interrupted.

A Student's Suicide.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 2.—A Medina special to the Herald reports the suicide of Albert Calvert, aged 23, by shooting himself through the heart. He had been a student at Oberlin, and was expected to return last night. It is reported that he has long contemplated suicide.
A Leader special say.s: Calvert was of a despondent nature, often talked of suicide, once attempted to drown himself, and once hanging. This time he went into a bee house, unbuttoned his coat and vest, put the i.'.uzzle of a revolver against, his side, and fired a bullet through his heart. The deceased's father lives in Montreal, for which place two brothers start to-night with the bodv.
Change in Chicago Journal. CHICAGO, Jan. 4.—The partnership heretofore existing between Andrew Sliuman and John R. Wilson, as lessees of the Chicago Evening Journal, was dissolved to-day, they having purchased the controlling idterest in the Chicago Evening Journal company. These gentlemen will continue as heretofore to manage the paper, Mr. Shuman as editor in chief, and Mr. Wilson as business manager and publisher. The Journal is one of the oldest and most prosperous papers in the west. It was established in 1S44, and Shuman has been its editor twentyseven years. He is now in the prime of life. Wilson has managed the business several years. There will be absolutely no change in the conduct of the paper.

This same lot of ruffians boarded the cars on this line Monday and Tuesday nights. On Monday night J. L. Peters lost a valuable watch, and Tuesday James Grant lost a pocketbook. The thieving is done at 11 o'clock, the hour when the poliee are changing their watch. This proves the band are professionals. Tne citi# zens generally are much excited over these attacks.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4—Little Thunder and Leading Feather, Chippiwa Chiefs, are here en route to Washington for the purpose of making a trade with the government whereby they can obtain for a portion of their reservation at Red Lake, certain agricultural implements, cattle and utensils necessary for a civilized christian's life.

A WIFE WORTH HAVING.
How Mrs. Logan Works for Her Husband's Success. Washington Cor. of the Chicago Journal.
By the way, I shall never forget the first time I met Mrs. Logan. It was at Springfield in 1871, when her husband was a candidate to the United States senate, and a humble member of the twenty-seventh general assembly. Nobody knew for whom I was going to vote in the senatorial caucus, and those who were figuring for Logan were anxious to find out on which side to count me. My mind had been made up from the beginning, but so -many people wanted to know whom I was for that I determined not to gratify their curiosity until I had expressed my preference in the caucus. Finally, Alderman Arthur Dixon, Mho was then a member of the house, and several others, thought they would commit mo in spite of myself. Meeting me one day in the corridor of the Lelancl hotel, the artful Dixon, who was accompanied by several other warm friends of General Logan, asked me why I did not call on Mrs. Logan, said ,1 had not the honor of tlie lady's acquaintance, and would not dare ven ture into her presence without an invitation. "Well," said Dixon, "I am authorized to invite you, and now I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll bet you a box of cigars that you cannot go into
Mrs. Logan's presence and come out without being pledged to vote for John." "I'll take the bet," said I
"WplJ cniyl
T»! of
iurs. Logan parlor at one clock tomorrow, and in the meantime I'll speak to her, and no doubt she will re cieve you." "I'll do it," said I. Next day at the appointed hour I rapped at the parlor door, expecting to meet Mrs Logan, and perhaps Dixon and one or two friends. What was my amazement to find the large parlor filled with members of the legislature and other gentlemen—about forty ardent admirers of General Logan. As the boys say, "I tumbled to the racket," and concluded that Dixon had "put up job" on me. I was not then posted on the ways of politicians. My entrance was the signal for a buzz of ap plause. Two empty chairs were in the center of the room. Being the subject to be operated upon, I was requested to take one of them. There was piano in a corner, and an accomplished young lady played "The Star-Spangled Banner," "The Wacht am Rhine," and "The Wearing of theGreen," according to the supposed predilections of the caller. The latter tune was supposed to have the most soothing effect on Dixon. I was asked to sing, and a friend of mine, who knew that I could no more sing than I could stand on my head, deliberately asserted that I had a sweet tenor voice, and in my younger days had been the leader of a church choir. They were "giving it to me" with a vengeance. Then they begr.n to talk* about the large majority General Logan was sure to have in the caucus, and what a blessed idiot the man would be who'would not put him self on the winning side right away. Suddenly I heard the rustle of silk, and looking behind, beheld Mrs. Logan, a "delightful vision," as Burke re marked of Mary Antoinette. She was in her prime and looked like a queen. Instinctively I ro$e, and immediately my iriend Dixon was by my side, presenting me to the lady. I was re ceived most graciously and requested to resume my seat. I resumed. The conversation then rattled on much the same as before, and again I was invited to sing. Then there was a lull, and quick as lightning Airs. Logan turned to me and said: "Of course, Mr. you are* going to vote for the General?" That was pretty direct Dixon in imagination began to pufi' those cigars. He smiled like a basket of chips, and then there was silence to hear the reply. Said I: "Mrs. Logan, if you were the candidate I should certainly pledge myself to vote for you." "Yes," she said, but you know my husband and I are one."
That is true, madam," said I, "but you are not the same person." With infinite tact Sirs. Logan immediately turned the conversation in another direction. Dixon's countenance fell. Then there was another request that I sing. I had already refused to warble half a dozen times, and the requests were getting monotonous, not to say impertinent. Mrs. Logan seconded the motion of the others that I should favor them with something—"any selection" I pleased. By this time I had grown indignant, and I said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the only musical performance I ever indulge in is standing on my head." With the impetuosity of a girl Mrs. Logan clapped her hands and said, "Oh, do it!" Several seconded her motion. I finally got up, and, backing toward the door,"said: "When I stand on my head I always require two persons to hold up my feet." There was a pause. Everybody laughed except Dixon and, taking advantage of the merriment. I bowed low to Mrs. Logan, and in a jiffy was out in the corridor. It is only necessary to say that I voted tor Logan in the caucus and in the legislature.
Xeiv Year's Day's Tragedies. The initial day of the new year was not without its tragedies. The greatest man in France died in its earliest
late police commissioner, and Charles (hours. In this country the president's
-!*&•? ft**"-s+V
reception was cut short by the sudden death of Hon. Elisha H. Allen, Hawaiian minister. William Baldwin, chief commissioner of highways for Philadelphia, died in the council chamber of that city while his successor was about to be chosen, and Hon. Samuel Calley, ex-mayor of Salem, Mass., committed suicide immediately after having attended the inauguration of his successor in office. The year opens under a cloud, but it may be that these untoward events are in nowise auguries of others equally painful to follow.
A Week of Death and Peril, New York Sun. Conductor Priest of the Lehigh & Hudson railroad recently experienced an eventful week. On Monday his engineer and fireman were killed and a brakeman was badly hurt, the locomotive having left the track. On Tuesday he fell under his train, and saved himself from death by holding to a revolving axle while he was dragged two hundred feet. On the same day another brakeman had a hand crushed, which left the conductor the only unhurt employed on the train. On Thursday his train killed three cows.
A Curious Comparison.
London Times. At Kilburn, near London, a fortnight ago, two novel censuses were taken, and with curiously similar results. One was a census of the number of persons attending the twentyfive churches on a certain evening between the hours of 6 and 8, and the other a census of the number attending the thirty-five public houses on the same evening between the saine hours. In one case the number was 5,570, in the other 5,591.
A "Iiight Weight" Hat.
Highland Journal. After the party. "I say, have you seen anything of my hat around here, anywhere?" asked a young swell in the coat room. "I donno, sab," replied the attendant. "Here am a hat, sail, which says 'light weight' inside of it, sail. Mebbe that might be your's, sail." He didn't take the hat.
