The apportionment bill now before the legislature does not change this congressional district.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette is amused at the selection of Thonian as one of the civil serviue commissioners.

Washington's birthday was observed in the usually limited style. Terre Haute overlooked the occasion and went on in the even tenor of its way.

It looks very much as if the Democratic legislature was preparing to cap the climax of its blundering session with a big row in the Democratic ranks.

Senator Brown's conduct in the state senate day before yesterday is inexcusable, and unless he promptly apologizes to that body he should not be permitted to retain his seat. Drunkenness is no excuse for such depraved language, and if the man liasn't de cency enough to apologize it is all the more reason that the senate should be rid of his presence.

Sheridan, the man mentioned by Informer Carey as being one of the invincibles and as the man who had gone through Ireland disguised as a priest, makes a statement this morning which gives the Irish side of the troubles in the suffering country. We rarely hear but one phase of the troubles in Ireland, most of the news coming through English sources.

The Greek fraternity war at Purdue University has resulted in the resignation of President White who is strongly opposed to the admission of these fraternities into the school. The senate put a rider upon the appropriation for the university which opposed President White's wishes in the matter, hence the resignation. He has sent a long communication to the senate ar guing against the fraternities.

The New York Tribune voices the intelligent sentiment of the Republican party in the following: "We earnestly hope Republicans at Washington realize the gravity of the situation, and will act so as to leave no point of danger unguarded. We believe they can reduco both the internal reve line and the tariff. We believe the coun try will hold them reponsible for a fail' lire on either. But in the worst possible event there can still he no excuse for not carrying through both houses a bill to wipe out all the war laxes save those on whisky and tobacco and this ought to be made safe early."

The house commerce committee at Washington figures it out that all the opposition to the appropriations for the creeks in the river and harbor bill is due to railroad influence. The committee also censures in a parliamentary way the president and secretary of war for their opposition to the bill. The trouble with the river and harbor bill is the same that afflicts the tariff bill The worthy objects are made to carry the burden of the unworthy. To get an appropriation for a navigable stream one must be given a creek that had better be Macadamized. To protect the the iron industry employing millions of men, the sugar growers of Louisiana who furnish but a small proportion of the article used in the country must be taken care of.

The house at Indianapolis is being adorned with forgery by some of its Democratic clerks. Mr. Mauck introduced the gerrymander scheme but instead of his name being used on the bill that of Mr. Adams, a Republican, was substituted. A correspondent says the Democrats appeared to shy clear of the measure an I would not tell who got it up, the aim being to reflect the credit of its authorship on Mr. Adams who is bitterly opposed to the outrageous scheme. He instituted an investigation that became unpleasant to the Democratic clerks, who had been parties to the forgery. He complained to the speaker, and caused the name of .Mr. Mauck to be replaced at the head tif the bill. Mr. Adams, it is thought, will be a strong candidate for congress sooti, and the attempt to criminally link his name to an infamous Democratic measure, and get him so recorded without bis knowledge, is considered to have been a scheme to ki'l iiiss aspirations by an argument of the "no going behind the returns character.''

"PEOGRKSS AND POVERTY," though a book which every student of political economy must read, for it_ is a complete reconstruction of the science as hitherto taught, is peculiarly a book which should be read bv the masses of the people. And one 01 its most striking differences from all previous economic works is that is read with absorbing interest by those to whom an ordinary treaties on political economy would be unintelligible and repulsive. This arises not only trom the clearness of the reasoning and the grace of the style, but from the candor and earnestness with which it deals with vital questions now everywhere beginning to enter into popular discussions. In this respect "Progress and Poverty" is worth more to the man who wishes to inform himself upon the great questions upon which it is becoming evident that our political contests must for the future rage, than a whole library of previous works. In the form in which it is now presented in Lovell's Library, for the retail price of twenty cents, "Progress and Poverty" is unquestionably the cheapest work ever offered to the American public. That it will have an enormous sale we confidently expect—in fact the unprecedented sale of previous editions abundantly proves. When not to be had of local booksellers or news-dealers, it will be mailed, postage paid, by the publishers, on receipt of the retail price, twenty cents.

LITERARY NOTES FROM THE CENTURY Co.—The March Century will have a biographical sketch of the late Dr. Leonard Bacon, by his son, Leonard Woolsey Bacon, of Norwich, Conn., in which Dr. Bacon's position to the Boston extremists in the anti-slaverv agitation is defended. On this, as on every other public question of his generation, Dr. Bacon was a good fighter, and the paper is appropriately entitled, "A Good Fight Finished.' An excellent portrait accompanies the paper. Readers of William Cullen Bryant's poetry will readily remember the many verses addressed to his wife,who died in 1866. In addition to those that have been published, one dated "Roslyn. 1873," was found after Mr. Bryant's death, uncorrected and unfinished, which recalls her memory in a very tender way. It will be printed in the March Century. Mrs. Runkle contributes to the March Century a plea for the higher education of women, with special reference to the recent movement toward admitting women to Columbia College. The March Century will contain two illustrated historical papers, "The Migrations of American Colonists," by Dr. Edward Eggleston, an'1. "The End of Foreign Dominion in Louisiana," by George W. Cable.

Modern Funerals.

The unusual ceremonies which attended the funeral of the late Charles R. Thorne, jr., were repeated on Sunday last in a cemetery near Chicago, over the body of Jack McCormick, a well-known racing man and card player. Six of his friends carried the coffin to the grave, and then Jerry Dunn, the most notorious sporting man in Chicago delivered this short speech: "Friends, the presence of death, the solemnity of the grave, has ever been recognized, even among uncivilized people, by some rite or service, according to their custom. In this instance our departed friend expressly requested that no'religiousiites should be performed over his remains. As the new religion of reason and philosophy, in which he was a believer, has no prescribed rites, I may be brief and candid. We here place in the bosom of his great and mysterious mother the remains of a true child of nature, once our friend, a man of brilliant parts and nobility of character, notwithstanding his misdirection and waste of splendid talents. He laid aside as a worthless bauble the most beautiful of poets' dreams, tha doctrine of immortality, because he would not have his shining spirit buoyed up by fiction, for he believed in 110 life beyond the grave. As the perfume of a" rose is wafted away on a passing zephyr, never more to unite with £he decayed petals, so is the spirit or soul extin-. guishecl in the dead, and there lies all there is."

Whatever may be Mr. Dunn's other characteristics, or those of Mr. Stuart Robson, who officiated at tlier funeral of Charles R. Thorne, jr., plain speaking belongs to them both.

Glanders.

Medical Press and Circular. In examining microscopically, in the Imperial health office, Berlin, sections from the cadaver of a horse killed on account of glanders, Dr. LofHer and Professor Schutz discoveied a delicate rod about the size of a tubercle bacillus. This they cultivated, until the cultivation has been carried through four generations. From this fourth generation of purely cultivated bacilli, a small quantity was inoculated into the nasal mucous membrane and into the shoulder of a healthy old horse. The animal began to be very feverish forty-eight hours afterwards, and at the point of inoculation ulcers developed, from which knotted lymphatic cords could be felt running to the tracheal and withers glands, so that in about eight days the horse presented all the appearance of a typical case of glanders* After the horse had recovreed it was killed and sections were taken from the enlarged glands. Similar bacilli were found in these, which were again subject to "pure" cultivation for four generations, after which rabbits, guinea-pigs, and white and field mice were inoculated. The evidence from some of these was merely negative in character. Afterwards two healthy horses were inoculated with the "purely cultivated bacilli. These became infected and died of glanders, and post-mortem examination revealed the changes characteristic of the disease.

It Cost Mr. Watson $15.

New York Sun. Mrs. Mary A. Watson, the wife of James Watson, a retired merchant of Tarrytown, was arrested on St. Valentine's day, on a charge of "catching the said James Watson by the hair of his head and scratching his face." Mrs. Watson was taken to the office of Justice W. S. Bird. She is a vigorous looking lady, about forty years old. The said James Watson, a little gray haired man of fifty-five, was in the office when she arrived. She demanded a trial by jury, which was accorded to her. It appeared on the trial that Mr. Watson and his wife quarreled as to who should make the coffee on the morning of the preceding day, and had a scuffle over the possession of the coffee pot. The jury found the wife guilty of "assaulting the said James Watson in the manner aforesaid." Justice Bird gave her the choice of paying $15 fine or going to jail for fifteen days. She expressed an emphatic preference for the fifteen days. The justice gave her several days' liberty to reconsider her choice. On Saturday last he received a letter from Mr. James Watson enclosing $15, and saying that he did not desire to press the case further.

Costly Bills of Fare.

N. Y. Letter in Providence Journal. At a dinner party recently given in this city the menus placed at the place of each" guest cost sixty dollars a piece. They were in the form of a picture, a beautiful work of art, which could afterwards be used as a drawing-room ornament. An English gentleman, in whose honor the entertainment was given, spilled some wine over his, which ruined it. Not wishing to lose so costly and leautifnl a souvenir, he went to Tiff&ny's and had a duplicate made.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS. FRIDAY- MORNING. FEBRUARY 23,1883.

A Feline Test for Sewer Gas. Sanitary Record. "An ingenious woman," says a Boston paper, "recently invented what may perhaps prove to be an improvement on the peppermint test for leaky waste-pipes. Noticing, and having ased the peppeimint test for an offensive odor in the parlor of the house which she occupied, she suspected a defect in the waste-pipes, and sent to the agent to request that a plumber might be sent to examine them. The agent was incredulous, and refused. To make her proofs more convincing, the woman, after borrowing two cats from her friends, purchased some oil of valerianf and stationing the animal in the parlor, went up-stairs and poured the valerian into the basin in the same way that the peppermint had been previously applied and then descended to watch the result. Cats are extremely fond of the odour of valerian, and it was liot long before both of them began to sniff the air and move towards the door of a closet through which the waste-pipe ran. The door was opened for them, and they immediately sprang upon a certain shelf, where they remained purring with satisfaction. A third time the woman went to the agent, who, though still unbelieving, consented to send a plumber to make further investigations and on cutting away the plastering so as to expose the pipe, a joint was found completely separated at the place where the cats had indicated.
