A Democratic legislature in Indiana is a blessing—for the Republican party.
It would be a good idea for the Democratic legislature to anchor to something firm. There is danger of its going to pieces.
Bert Kellcy doesn't know which end he is standing on, and has changed the adage to read, We are here this morning, gone at noon, and back at night."
The cost of the present legislature is $2.1 HO a day, or S1CG more than the legislature of 1872, and at that time the Democrats were making a campaign issue of the expense against the Rejmblicans.
The gentlemen who are sojourning in the Missouri penitentiary are evidently restless under the restraint imposed upon. Yesterday they started a mutiny and fire at the same time. While none of the convicts escaped, $300,000 damage was done to the building and contents. Evidently a convict's lot is not a happy one.
The legislature should look to the future regarding the state house matter. The Indianapolis News very truly remarks: "Chances are if the unfinished state house is ever boarded over for one season that it will cost a vast sum before it is finished. An arrangement to push the work continuously would be not only the wisest but the cheapest thing that could he done."
The Nihilist executive committee has addressed a memorandum to the czar and the Russian cabinet insisting upon the following constitutional reforms before the coronation at Moscow A representative assembly elected by universal suffrage provincial self-government by freely elected provincial boards the free ownership of land by all classes of the people freedom of conscience, of the press, of public meeting and of association the transformation of the standing military forces into a territorial army. The document threatens, if these reforms are not accelerated, to revert to the means of intimidation previously employed.
The Toledo Blade believes in retaliation on the German empire for excluding our pork. The Blade argues tl'at the charge of its being aO'ected with trichinrc is a subterfuge, one that would be unworthy a gambling operator in provisions, but that the reason Germany excludes American pork is because it wants to give the German product a better market. The means of retaliation is found in the importation into this country of German wines and beer, a chemical analysis of which, would show them more hurtful than the American pork is to the people of the German empire. The Blade advises this government to order the analysis to be made and then prohibit the importation into this country of the German liquids which it believes will "bring the bundesrath to its senses very speedily."
The New York Tribune seems to have caught the spirit of things in this state. What it says has been emphasized since the article was written and we have no doubt will become more emphatic each of the few days remaining of this session. The Tribune says:
The present legislature of Indiana is doing Its best, to insure a Republican victory in the state next year. Its disregard of public sentiment on the temperance question, the making of ono of the most offensive and blatant copperheads of the war a leader In the lower house, and the undisguised determination (o grasp all the spoils within reach, have alienated tho independent element which stood ready to support the claims of ex-Senator McDonatd for the presidency, it is believed also that ex-governor Hendricks has not only viewed these proceedings with complacency, bTtt litis thrown his influence in their favor in order, by making the state doubtful, to destroy th# chance of any other Indianian than himself reeeiTing tho honor of a presidential nomination from tlie Democratic party.
The Foroe of Natural Causes.
Indianapolis Journal. It is a mistake to suppose that the prosent legislature is intentionally making capital for the Republicans in futuro campaigns.
State Capitals.
Boston PosfT The idea of having state capitals in large cities is all wronsr. Have 'em in small towns, where hotels are bad, variety shows scarce, and most of the girls 1VMIUI'. "then you'll set short sessions anJ iiuiek adjournments.
The Coming Conflict.
Detroit Free Press. The day may come in this country when Jay Gould will feel too big to tackle railroad or telegraph companies. Then will
will come a set-to with the Standard Oil company, and the winner will carry the United States in his vest-pocket.
A Privilege of the Bich.
Cincinnati Enquirer. Extraordinary privileges aro allowed the suspects in the Dublin jail. For example, Mullet was yesterday permitted to sign a check.
Cincinnati Tapleys.
Boston Post. Cincinnati men arc sitting upon the Chimney tops of their nearly submerged houses and bragging about the elegant climate of the town.

Then she recited the concluding line of the prayer and scrambled into bed.
In his life of Henry Ward Beecher, Dr. Abbott says that the earliest school days of the great preacher were not such as to forecast a brilliant future. "For," continues Dr. Abbott, "he was deficient in memory, painfully sensitive, very diffident," and embarrassed by a thick indistinct utterance, resulting partly from bashfulness and partly from throat troubles.
Wagner's Hair.
Wagner's hair was always highly prized by his admirers, and whenever he had it cut enthusiasts were on the lookout to secure locks of it. During the great maestro's visit to Naples, he had his hair trimmed, and the barber was solicited by some Wagnerites at the hotel to sell them the shorn locks, to his considerable profit. Unluckily, Madame Wagner had promised the hair to a friend, and the barber was
robber
of his perquisites but remem
bering that the butcher who supplied meat to the hotel had hair similar to that of the great composer, lie persuaded him to have it cut, gratis, and was thus enabled to send the enthusiasts away rejoicing.
MODJESKA.
Helena, the Poor Girl of Cracow, Now tli© Queen of the Stage—From a Strolling Player, Traveling In a Cart, She
Became tlie Idol of Warsaw—Her Professional and Social Triumphs In tho United States and in England.
Perhaps in all the history of the dramatic stage, ancient or modern, there is no artiste who has acted over so wide a territory or played in as many languages as Mme. Helena Modjeska, who was born in Cracow, the ancient capital of Poland. The Russians and Poles are said to have a wonderful faculty for acquiring languages, and the Poles even more so than the Russians, and it is quite natural that the celebrated actress should be an accomplished linguist, speaking French, English, German, Polish and Hungarian, and performing in each one of these languages with unqualified success.
Modjeska's father, Michael Opid, was a mountaineer of Galicia or Austrian Poland, but, nevertheless, he was a man of artistic and scholarly tastes he was noted as an eminent philologist (which is another reason for Mme. Modjeska's proficiency in languages), and he was also a great lover of music. Singers, actors, musicians and literary men frequented his house, and after his death continued to visit his widow. Thus Mme. Modjeska earliest friends were artists and scholars of one kind or another.
When she was born her father said "That girl is for me, and she must be called Helena, for her head is Greek.' Thus she was christened Helena, and in her childhood called Helcia, the Polish diminutive of the name.
After her father's death her earliest remembrance is of seeing a man shot in the street, for those were sad days and revolu tionary times in Poland. With the sights and sounds of war and death she was early familiarized and she can now remember when but a very small child of hiding behind a wall to pick up shot and carry home in her pinafore.
When she was but seven years old a revolution took place and Cracow was fired several places and a large portion of the town burned, and with the rest Mme. Opid's house, rendering her and her family almost penniless and entirely homeless.
Helcia and her little sister ran by themselves, clothed only in their night-dress, she feeling very proud because she had succeeded in saving a doll and a life of St. Genevieve. The little sister fell into a stream, and no help being near, was rescued by our little heroine.
The two children were finally found by their folks, but many nights after that they slept upon straw in cellars or barns wrapped up in borrowed clothes. Thus in her childhood Mme. Modjeska became acquainted with misery and distress her home was among the bereaved and ruined and desper8.tG.
When Helcia was ten years old her brother's wife died, and his only child he brought home. This child she took care of to relieve her mother, whose family was large and cares as great as in proportion her means were small. Thus at this early age she was playing the part of a mother, a role which she still likes te fill in pKvate life, as she is very fond of children, especially young girls who have the ardent and romantic temperament which characterized her own youth.
At this time she went to a convent every day to gain some education from the nuns". Grammar and history were her favorite studies other branches of education she did not care for. At fourteen she left the convent, and in conjunction with her half brother, Josef Benda, who was an actor, she wrote a play, which was performed be-' fore the family, she taking a part in it in which she wept and made the servants weep with her.
At sixteen she married G. S. Modjeska, and two years later her only surviving child, Rudolph Modjeska, was born. After the'death of her first husband, and eight years after her first marriage, she was again married, this time to Count Charles Bozenta Chlapowski, a Polish patriot, editor and soldier, whose history, if written,would make in its adventures a companion story to that of Baron Trenck's.
In 1876 she insisted on an indefinite leave of absence from the Imperial Theater at Warsaw, where she had been acting, and came to this country, landing in Philadelphia during the Centennial, and after a short sojourn there proceeding to California, where a ranche was bought, and Helena Modjeska, the vexed and too noisily admired actress, and Charles Bozenta, the proscribed exile, prisoner and "shadowed" editor—one escaping from the worried of the Imperial Theatre, the other from the ignoble censorship of Russia— made up their minds to settle down for the balance of their lives, recruit their healths and live a ranchero's happy life forever. But, alas! the stage is a candle, and the actor-moth rarely leaves it for good until age or illness compels, or the life curtain drops. San Francisco was not far from the ranche, and so in that city in February, 1877, Mme. Modjeska made her debut on the American stage, and also her first performance in the English tongue. Every one knows of her success there and her subsequent success for two seasons through this country and Canada. In 1879 she went back to Europe, and in the winter of 1879-80 she played in all the principal cities of Poland.
In May, 1880, she went to London and played there with scarcely an intermission until July, 1881, one of the longest engagements ever played by any star in that city. After that she traveled through the provincial towns of great Britain. In January, February and March, of the past year she returned to Poland and played a most brilliant engagement there, and would have taken an engagement offered at St. Petersburg, but' General Ignatieff, the Russian censor, refused her permission to perform in the Polish language.
From Poland she returned to London and played three months at the Havmarket Theatre, there producing and running "Odetta" for the entire time then, taking a month's rest on the sea-coast of Cornwall, she set sail for America, where we are happy to welcome her back among us, and where we are proud that our English brethren refer to her as the American actress.
Hatching Fish.
The New York State Hatchery at Caledonia has now a large quantity of the fry of salmon trout, brook trout and California trout, and will soon have for distribution mature black bass. Oswego bass, rock bass, wall-eyed pike, bull heads, and yellow perch. Sir. Seth Green announces that all persons desiring fish for the purpose of stocking the public waters in this 6tate!

should apply at once, "it is necessary," he adds, "for us to have a close time for receiving applications, and the time expires March 1. Waters suitable for brook, salmon trout and California trout should receive a quantity each year, or the supply must diminish in proportion to the drain on them. To keep the lakes and streams well stocked, it is necessary that as the old ones arc caught and lulled off a supply of young should be maturing to fill the vacancy, the same as the farmer keeps np his supply of chickens, sheep, etc. With the mature fish above mentioned, if the waters already contain them, there is no need of putting in more, as with proper protection they will keep up their own supply." Mr. Green may be addressed at Rochester.
Floral Crowns on Gambetta's Coffin. More than 4,000 floral crowns were heaped around Gambetta's coffin in the Palais Bourbon, and a writer in Figaro estimates their value at $100," 000. Paris and its environs produced them all, natural as well as artificial. It ie reckoned that the daily sale of natural flowers in Paris realizes about $20,000. The flowers most in fashion at the present are the gardenia, which sells at five francs each flower the lily of the valley, worth ten francs the pot the queen rose and the purple rose, the Spanish carnation and the violet. Of the latter a large number come from Nice but they have not the perfume of those grown around Paris. The camellia, at one time so much prized, is now quite out of fashion.
A Peculiar Death.
A young man by the name of Murphy, living at the east end of London, went home the other night, and instead of finding a warm welcome and a hot supper he found his mother lying stone dead on the floor with her head firmly fixed in a tin saucepan She was in liquor when her son left her, and the medical evidence went to show that she had pitched forward upon the floor and driven her head into the saucepan so securely that she could not extricate it, and had consequently died of suffocation. Since the dawn of creation the King of Terrors has wielded an infinite variety of weapons, but probably never before confronted his victim with a saucepan.
