Writers for tlie New York papers are trying to scare up a sreat financial panic for this week.
Sliawneetown, Illinois, is just now receiving an overflow which has put the town in great distress.

During the week ending to-day Terre Haute has paid over $5,000 for theatricals. The receipts at the Opera house for tickets will reach $4,500, and it is safe to put the incidentals at from $700 to $1,000. And it is Lent besides.
The situation at Washington is desperate, and this fact will go a long ways in accounting for the summary action of yesterday on the tariff bill The obstruction Democracy had to be circumvented, and it has been done. When the bill passes and the taxes are reduced tin people will be satisfied.
The Globe-Democrat, commenting on the remark of Mrs. Langtry, in an interview, that she wished she could "wipe out all memory of St. Louis,'1 Bays there are a great many persons in St. Louis who would like to 'wipe back into their pockets the money paid out for the most fraudulent dramatic engagement ever perpetrated in this city."
Langsdale, of Greencastle, has been appointed postmaster so often that it is not to be wondered at that he was yesterday renominated in spite of the vigorous tight that has been made against him. His experience in such contests is much to his advantage. In the course of time the good people of Greencastle will yield to the inevitable.
While trying murderers the JJritish government ought to try to arrest one Ciaunt Famine.—[Philadelphia Times.
No the British government is too busy arguing the question of responsibility with Parnell and the other men who have been trying to get relief for Ireland. However bad their plan to secure this end may have been the British government is still to be held to account for every death from starration or destitution.
Cincinnati dosen't propose to run any risk of an epidemic disease as a result of the flood and baa decided to expend $1,000,000 during the next two years in repairing the streets and in sanitary measures generally. The records show that in nearly every instance excessively high water has be^n followed by some dread disease and Cincinnati precaution is therefore that ounce of prevention which is as good as a pound of cure.
An interesting celestial event occurs on Thursday morning. At about twenty-five minutes after four o'clock the moon will occult the bright star Beta Scorpionis, and more than an hour later the star will be scon emerging from behind the moon on the side opposite to that where it disappeared. To those who own telescopes the spectacle will be particularly interesting, because the star in question is one of the most beautiful double stars in the heavens. Even without a telescope it will be a sight worth seeing.
The Democratic sincerity for reform was again tested at Indianapolis day before yesterday by the vote in the legislature refusing to inquire into the control of the state funds in the hands of the state treasurer. It is an open and notorious fact that the state's money has for years been made a banking capital, and there is no law authorizing the loaning of the state's money. The matter should therefore have been inquired into, and either a law~" passed requiring sullicient bond from the state treasurer or prohibiting the free use now being made of the funds. There are $700,000 supposed to be in the state treasury at the present time. The bond of the treasurer is ?150,000. It is safe to say that not over SoO,000 or £75,000could be found in the treasurer's possession, the remainder being loaned out. Suppose the treasurer should meet with reverses in his hanking business, such things.happensometimes very capably managed hanks, the state would be the loser.
But our Democratic friends are hnn-T-'L'V.
OUB PUBLIC SCHOOLS-
The nineteenth annual report af the Public schools, prepared by the superintendent, Prof. W. H. Wiley, presents a comprehensive and exhaustive view of the condition and scope of the system, which is of much interest and highly gratifying to a community justly proud of its schools. It is unnecessary to repeat details required in a complete report, nor to allude to more than a few. We find that there is $230,000 invested in school property there were 4,516 scholars enrolled, and that the cost per pupil was $15.G8 for a year, which includes a proportionate share in every outlay from the school funds.
Prof. Wiley by his careful report enables us to follow the pupils through their school life and to judge the probable results. The system of instruction is practical and thorough. The design of the projectors and supporters of free schools to secure to each child of the republic a good common school education is fully attained in Terre Haute, for here we find a course of instruction that appears to be a complete expression of matured experience, in which approved methods are retained, and impracticable theories are abandoned. To one schooled only in the 'four R's' the course of study seems extensive, but examination shows it so judicially distributed as to rest lightly on the young heads. The most practical education is not the one that crams scholars with knowledge, but one which quickens the perception, develops interest and trains thought. We would despair more for the boy who had received a complete education in eight years than for the one who knows in eight years that he still knows but little. Now there is evident in the teaching of to-day a desire to give to the scholars as much, and no more, than they can mentally digest. There is an effort to abandon learning by rote, and to promote quick,independent thought. For instance, in referring to the study of history it is said "good results were obtained by considering the relations of cause and effect in events, in place of burdening the pupils' mind with large numbers and dates and disconnected facts." Once it was all memory and no thought—here both are trained.
With the studies, books and rules now employed to insure the most successful results depends on the development of capable teachers. The weak point in that has been the short official life of teachers. The difficulty is met by the superior material our own schools now provide and the close work of the present teaching force. The high percentage of attendance on the various meetings for conference and instruction shows a fidelity to duty hardly equalled in other professions or callings, and the results of the class examinations, with the remarkably small per cent, of absences, attest the mutual zeal of teachers and taught. We commend a careful examination of this report and a comparison of its records with the short experience of the reader. The result will be congratulatory for a system that is preparing for the next decade bright, alert, self-assured and thoroughly American men and women, with sound minds in sound bodies.

GOUGAB-MANDIiER.
Tlie Plaintiff's Intimate Friend Contradiets an Important Witness for tlie Defense. Special Dispatch to Indianapolis News.
LAFAYETTE, Feb. 27.—In the crossexamination of Mrs. Sherry, sister of Mrs. Gougar, not much that was new was developed. James O. Wright, civil engineer, testified that he had measured the Gougar premises, and found that the front gate was over two and a half feet east of the west line of the house, and that a person in the window would hfive to lean out five feet, two inches to see the front gate. If a person stooped to open the gate the distance would be less.
This morning the examination ol Civil Engineer Wright was continued. He testified that a person looking out of the west window of the Gougar house could not see a person on the lower step at the gate.
Ex-County Clerk Chute and W. J. Roseberry, "who accompanied Wright while making the measurements, testified to the same effect: also, that a person in one room could hear a person in an adjoining room talking in an ordinary tone of voice, but not in a low tone.
Mrs. B. F. Ingersol, an intimate friend of the plaintiff was the next witness. She testified that she had seen Mrs. Gougar at Wallace's at tea a number of times that Mrs. Wallace and Mrs. Gougar exchanged calls that the relations between them were pleasant. Witness had been at Gougar's often when Mr. Gouger had sent his wife to Wallace's office on business for him. Witness attended a meeting of the parlor club on the evening of December 10th, last, at which Mrs. Gougar was present. This is the night witness Weed claims to haveseen Mrs. Gougar go with Capt. Wallace to the latter's oflice.
Premonition.
On the morning of the day before his death, it is said, the late Marshall Jewell awoke from a sound sleep and at once asked what was the matter at the home of William E. Dodge. A telegram had just been received by Mr. Jewell's family, announcing the death of Mr. Dodge, but it was not thought best to let Mr. Jewell know it. so he was told that all was well there. He would not believe them. Something had happened, he said some great atHiction had overtaken the family. Insisting upon this, and refusing to accept his family's denials, he at length induced them to telegraph to New York, to see what was the matter. But Mrs. Jewell so worded the telegram as to instruct those who received it to answer that everything was all right. When that answercame, they told Mr. Jewell, who refused to believe it and asked to see the message itself. This request being granted, and having the ocular proof before his eyes, in the shape of au unmistakable telegraph message, he dubiously remarked: "Well, it does seem to be so but it is very strange I know there is something the matter, that something serious has happened in Mr. Dodee's house in New York." And that impression he retained, until soon afterwards, he, too, ended his earthly life.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Election of Officers of the Benevolent Institutions—Tlie General Approprlations Bill Finally Passed—The Senate
Refuses to Investigate the State Treasury—Many Important Bills Passed. Indianapolis News.
Senator Bundy yesterday afternoon introduced a resolution for the appointment of a special committee of three Democrats and two Republicans to investigate the condition of the state treasury. The resolution charged that the money of the state had been loaned out and was not kept in the state's vault, which, under the statute, was a felony. The resolution failed of consideration by a party vote of 29 to 19. The Democrats believed that the Republicans in offering the resolution were simply endeavoring to make buncombe, and charged them with insincerity in waiting until the Republican treasurer had been superseded by a Democrat before daring to offer such a resolution.
The house yesterday afternoon passed the Helms bill to prevent stock from running at large in those districts recently overflowed by water and in which ihe fences of farmers had been swept away. The vote was 5G to 29.
The house yesterday afternoon concurred in the'report of the conference committee on the road laws, the committee recommending that the house bill lie on the table, and the senate bill of Mr. Benz be adopted.
The house and senate both concurred in the report of the conference committees on the general appropriation bill. The "rider" to the Purdue University appropriation remains.
The Democratic caucus last night determined to proceed to the election of officers of the benevolent institutions this morning. It also nominated Wm. A. Peele, of Marion county, for statistician under the new law, a resolution being passed that Prof. Collett be kept in charge of the geological department. The joint convention was held this morning, with the following result, the election being confined simply to.
the trustees of the different benevolent institutions:
L.
Crowell, once cashier of the People's Bank, of this city, and lately president of the Empire Mining Co., of Utah, has made a general assignment, showing $664,900 liabilities and $51,lfo assets, and is at his home in Arlington, Ik J., suffering from nervous prostration. The assignment is dated February 12th. The assignees are Crowell's brother-in-law, Edward S. Allaire, of Red Bank, and his son-in-law, Joseph Parker, jr., of 128 Broadway. It is not believed that any dividend can be paid to the creditors, for the assets are either worthless, or pledged to their full value.
Mr. Gilbert L. Crowell is about fiftythree years of age. He was connected with the People's bank, of New ork, for fifteen years as paying telleT and cashier. While there, he became the agent of several of the heirs of the estate of Mrs. John H. Tallman. She was a Miss Somerindyke, and inherited from her father a large amount of land on the west side of the city, between Fifty-ninth street and Seventy-second street. At her death she left $1,600,000, to be held in trust by George G. Dewitt, and to be divided equally between her three daughters and the children of her deceased son. The daughters were Miss Caroline Tallman, of 34 West Twenty-seventh Street, Mrs. Caroline A. Atwell, of 98 Fifth avenue Mrs. Houseman, since dead, and her nieces, Miss Caroline C. Tallman and Mrs. Cornelia C. Crittenden. Miss Caroline Tallman inherited other money, so that she was able to save the interest ot the trust money. These savings she intrusted to Mr. Crowell, and gave him a full power of attorney. Part of her money she used in building an episcopal church in Yorkville, and she intended to endow it, but the money is now lost. Of the whole indebtedness $545,000 is due to the Tailman estate. All the money seems to have been sunk in the Empire mine and the Arlington Homestead companv.
For president of the board of benevoleni institutions—Dr. T. H. Harrison dein.), of Boone county. 82 General lohn Coburn, of Marion county (rep.), 47. Harrison elected.
For trustee of the insane asylumPhilip M. Gapen idem.), of Marion county, 81 Dr. G. W. Burke (rep.), of Henry county, 45. Gapen elected.
For trustee of the deaf and dumb asylum—S. E. Urmston (dem.), of Franklin county, 80 Col. James H. Jordan (rep.), of Morgan county, 44. Urmston elected.
For trustee of the Blind Asylum— Howard Briggs (dem.), of Putnam county, 82 JTH. Rerich (rep.),of Lagrange county, 43.
For trustees of the feeble minded asylum and soldiers orphans home— John M. Goar, of Henry county, J. Wilson, of Washington county and R. D. Brown, of Dearborn county, all Democrats, were elected, defeating Srmuel Greene, of Rush county, Dr. Wm. Freeman, of Switzerland county and Peter E. Aoss of Howard county.
The correspondent of the CourierJournal says: When Mr. Cyrus T. Nixon was clerk of the house four years ago he helped Senator Benz to pass a county seat bill, and after it got through Benz said: Mr. Nixon, I am under obligations to you, and if you are ever a candidate for anything and the vote is a tie, if my vote will elect you you can have it." The other day in the senate, when the trouble came uplover the removal of Kelley, the secretary, Nixon, who was a candidate, came to Benz and said: "You recollect your promise the vote is a tie now and I wish you would vote for me." Senator Benz scratched his head and said: "Cyrus, that time it was business now it is politics I must vote against you."
The bill relating to the bureau of statistics, as amended by the house, leaves the geological and statistical departments separated. The senate has concurred therein, Senator Bell remarking this afternoon, that no Democrat wanted to legislate Prof. Collett out of office, and the bill never would have passed the senate in its original form if its effects had been understood to legislate Collett out of office.
ROBINSON AND THE LION.
His Motion to Annex Ireland. Special to the Chicago Herald. WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—In the house this afternoon Richelieu Robinson was seen to arise as if he had debated an important question in his mind and had finally come to a conclusion thereon. He meandered toward the rooms where the legislative tonsorial artists are. His long beautiful white hair flowed gently down over his shoulders. In a short time the national warrior of the English animal emerged from the barber shop. His locks were shorn. His hair was short. He presented such a peculiar appearance that fellow members began to notice it. They came up and asked him why he had done it. This seemed to nettle Richelieu, as he was afraid the impression would get abroad that, like Sampson, he had lost his might with the disappearance of his locks. So he nerved himself for a big bout with the British beast. He presented a joint resolution, the title of which was, "For the relief of Ireland, for the benefit of England and for the glory of the United States." After the long preamble, which gave many twists to the lion's tail, and prodded him after with steel rods, the resolution proposed that the United States should purchase and annex Ireland. Not content with this demonstration that he was still in the international ring, Richelieu set him to work and prefaced the bill .which he will hurl upon England at the earliest opportunity. It provides that the anniversary of the evacuation of Boston be made a national holiday. Boston was the first city in this country from which the British were driven. Now the date of its evacuation was March 17. That date is also St. Patrick's day. Thus with one fell blow would Richelieu humble the lion and elevate the harp.
