Mr. Jerry Dunn, the gentleman who took the life of Mr. James Elliott in Chicago, is the Mr. Dunn who recently pronounced one of Bob Ingersoll's funeral orations changed enough to hide the flagrant plagiarism, over the body of a deceased fellow sporting gentleman. Somehow the faith that is in us of the hereafter is not shaken very much by the example of Mr. Dunn.

•Some years ago Dr. Tomlinson, of Indianapolis, bequeathed to the city considerable property which was to be utilized in erecting a city building. Eor a yetr past there has been a fight over the carrying out of the prpvisions of the bequest, it being held by many that as the proposed' building would cost more than the amount to be realized from the inherited property, the city could not legally incur the indebtedness to provide theadditional funds. Monday night the city council took action and voted to erect the building.

The Fort Wayne Gazette, out of its zeal for the welfare of the party, but with an utter disregard of the comfort of the people, says:

President Arthur seems to be working into the hands of the Democracy for 1884, in declining to call an extra session of congress. If Arthur had had an eye to business lie would have convened an extra session and given the Bourbons full swing at the rope. All that the Republicans want is to give the Bourbons ample opportunity, and they may be relied on to do the work for the Republicans. There is nothing more certain to success than to give the Bourbons ample facilities for cutting their own throats and they are sure to do it.

Chicago has been so much engaged in those daring business enterprises which have made it the great city of west that it entirely overlooked the sufferers in the Ohio valley, especially poor New Albany, which a few years ago gave a fire devastated city on the lake $20,000. And the south to whose eloquent appeals for help on many occasions there have been hearty responses from the Ohio valley, she somehow has not been heard from. But perhaps this is owing to a purpose to save her store of charity for the people along the lower Mississippi later in the year when they are almost sure to be in want of assistance by reason of the June freshet. If that is the case the north will no doubt be unassailed by the usual piteous appeals for help at that time.

G. W. Smalley, the European correspondent of the New York Tribune, originally an American snob but who has through ten years constant application abroad, become an English snob, writes to his paper in regard to the debates in parliament: "The debate on Mr. McCarthy's amendment to the address, relating to the relief of Irish distress, was conducted on the usual Irish line of peremptory demands for indiscriminate charity from the same government which had been denounced the day before as cruel and despotic."

Isn't it cruel and despotic to let people starve year in and year out? or does snob Smalley think that the proper attitude of the Irish people is for them to be flunkeys and lose all manhood? If they would bow low to the same people Smalley toadvs to then no doubt they would be kept from starvation.

THE ROSE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE. To-day the Kose Polytechnic Institute will be formally opened and its president inducted into otlice, with appropriate exercises. The building and all that is performed in them will be thrown open to the public, and distinguished speakers will take the opportunity to explain what will be done by the new institution.

Yesterday, a line class- of twenty-live Muiiig nuMi—as many as the shop in its (insert condition can accommodate-- were received altera competit:\e examination, so that theie is work lor the school to do as soon as the inauguration is concluded.

An institution whice has been so handsomely endowed bv nian

as Chauncey Rose, which has enlisted and retained the firm and enthusiastic support of such men as constitute the board of managers, and that allures to its doors more of our choicest youths than can find places within them, must possess substantial if not extraordinary merit.

Perhaps many people who have watched the rise of the building and who have read the printed statements that have been issued,still have a veiy incomplete notion of what a polytechnic 'school really is. The college we know, and the academy we know, but what is this new claimant to regard which is neither a college nor an academy

A polytechnic school is a new institution and it takes along time for such an institution to make its end and object clearly understood. It aims to do for engineers, mechanics, and artisans generally, what the colleges have done for the learned professions, that is, teach well the principles of their business before they begin to do it.

This is precisely the cause of the popular misconceptions about it for the popblar idea has been that all men are divided into two great classes, viz.: those who are educated and those who are not the former being limited pretty exactly to clergymen, lawyers, and doctors, and the latter including the great mass of men outside of those professions.

But the popular idea of education needs to be enlarged a good deal before it takes in all the facts of the situation the progress of civilization has wrought that knowledge is no longer the perquisite of any class and that multitudes of artisans and manufacturers and farmers have as well instructed brains as the professional man of former days and this most beneficent result is largely due to the operations of polytechnic schools. This institution receives pupils who posess a fair knowledge of the common English branches such as are taught in our public schools and conducts him by a well planned course in mathematics, drawing, the living languages, and the sciences, to a position where he thinks clearly and effectively and be qualified also to do good service in some industrial art.

There is no place where men stand so clearly on their merits, regardless of the accidents of birth or station, as at this school. Mathematics and science are no respectors of persons real ability is sure to be recognized and richly rewarded. Graduates are in great demand and often go at once from the door of the school into lucrative positions. It has been stated that, of the last graduating class at the Worcester Free Institute, fourteen students went at once into good situations.

There cannot be a question of the immense advantage of such a school in any community, especially when by the munificence of its founder its instruction is given free of expense to its citizens.

Our own polytechnic opens under favorable auspices and will doubtless commend itself more and more to popular favor, as its purpose, methods and results become more and more understood.

Obstruction Didn't Obstruct.

Peoria Transcript. The record of the forty-seventh congress closed leaving the Democrats in the attitude of obstructionists to all measures Intended to reduce the burden of public taxes or to encourage the growth of home industries. In the face of that obstruction, however, it appears that the Republicans liavo succeeded in reducing the taxes at least $75,000,1)00.

Some of them were landed at Gibraltar, and their lot, Consul Sprague gravely informs the state department is not a liappv one. The Spanish mule is fed chietfy on chopped straw, with a bean or two and some barley thrown in. Mr. Sprague tells Mr. Frelinghuysen that he has been told that "several of these American mules have already refused eating beans and do not seem to take freely to barley." He neglects to say how they like chopped straw. Mr. Bergh should make the food of American mules in Spain an international question.

THE INDIANA CONSPIRACIES.

Wlint the Memoirs of Jacob Thompson, the Secessionist of Buchanan's Cabinet, Contain Regarding the

Knights of the Golden Circle. In connection with the denial of Horace Heffren of any part in the treasonable conspiracies during the war, the letter in the Enquirer from Gath given below is interesting at this time. "My object was not to take up the Mudd matter, however, but to show vour correspondent that on another point his authorities have gone back on him, and that is in reference to the Indiana conspiracies during the war. He says, speaking of Milliean, Bowles and Horsey: 'Neither of these men belonged to the army or navy, and hence was not accountable to a military court for their actions.' He also remarks that 'the judge advocate,Holt, is said in the silent watches of the night to see ghosts.' I do not see how any body can make an assertion that another man sees ghosts in the silent watches of the night unless this third person sees them too. A great many statements require but little analysis to disappear.

Now there has been recently issued by J. F. H.,Claiborne a history of Mississippi, in which is contained a life of Jacob Thompson, which bears internal marks of having been furnished by Thompson himself, if not in the actual manuscript, through some secretary or friend. Mr.Claiborne disavows,it would appear, the authorship of the article. Jacob/Thompson was a North Carolina born man, who removed to Mississippi in 1835, where hetookrootas a lawyer, served a long time in congress and then went into Buchanan's cabinet, where he was a conspicious secessionist. After unimportant services on the rebel side in the war he was cited by President Jeff Davis to come to Richmond, where he was given a secret mission, and, to use the language of this memoir, "intrusted with a secret service fund, with requirements to furnish vouchers for his expenditures, and no restriction on his discretion. He went through the blockade to Bermuda and Halifax, and then made his head-quarters at Montreal."

Let us see what Mr. Thomson says about there being any military organization in the western states. This matter is quite fresh, and will bear printing. I quote from the "Life of Jacob Thompson:" "There existed at tliat time a secret order in the states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, whose membership was large, and whose original object had been personal protection against Radical terrorism. The enrolled membership in Illinois was S0.000 fighting men in Indiana, 40,000 in Ohio, 40,000. Their articles of association declared that each state was sovereign in the sense of the Virginia resolutions of IT'.'S, that an invasion of a state by the general government was unconstitu­

tional, and without authority and each member covenanted to stand by and defend the rights of any other member. "Mr. Thompson was invited to become, and became a member of the order. As soon as he familiarized himself with its workings he employed and sent a confidential party to visit the societies wherever they had been organized, with the information that the confederate prisoners at Chicago and Rock Island numbered 15,000, at Indianapolis about 5,000 and at Johnson's Island about the same. It was exceedingly desirable to release these prisoners and return them to their respective commands in the Southern states. Every day he was notified of the sufferings of the prisoners, and that humanity as well as the obligations of the brotherhood demanded a concerted effort in their behalf. He desired the aid and cooperation of the order. He could organize and arm the escaped prisoners, who were good soldiers, and would delight in a stirring Ad venture. They were sufficiently strong to overcome the guards, and sll that was needed was a force to protect the prisoners until they could be armed and embodied. Mr.. Thompson's agent, James A. Barrett, returned with the answer that with some additional arms and transportation they were ready and willing to co-operate. "The escaped prisoners were organized and armed, and were ready at a given signal to repair to their respective posts. Day after day was appoint ed as the time for meeting and making the attack but before the appointed time rolled around a message would come from the leaders that they could not at that time bring up their men. Concert of movement and concentration seemed almost impossible. The leaders expressed the greatest confidence in their men and the greatest readiness on their own parts. Four times a certain dav was designated and agreed upon for a simultaneous movement on the prisons at Chicago, Rock Island, and Camp Chase, but on each of these several days, when the escaped prisoners, embodied and armed, looked for their allies, they failed to make their appearance. At last Mr. Thompson became thoroughly disgusted, and lost all confidence in the nerve and pluck of the leaders of the order."

It then goes on to say that Thompson organized the piratical expeditions on the lakes, and that the raid on St. Albans was an irresponsible consequence of the same condition of things. Here is confederate evidence to refute the idea that there was not an organized military conspiracy in the West at that time, "in guilty conference with the sworn agent of the rebel government in Canada. The question is whether the Confederate government would have permitted a Union emissary to be in conference with over 100,000 fighting men in the Southern states, resolved to revolutionize the government. A conspiracy of this character naturally set the example to any government in which it existed to set aside the civil law and try these fighting men by the fighting law.

HEFFREN.

A Scathing Summary of Hi© Career of the Leader of Indiana Democracy. The Indianapolis Journal of yesterday devotes a column and a half to Horace Heffren, who, on the Hay before in the house, delivered a speech full of personal vituperation, of the Journal proprietors and editor in retaliation for its exposure of his dishonorable career. The Journal reiterates that Heffren was a member of the order whose object was to unite this and other states with the southern confederacy, if it could not create a northwestern confederacy. He swore there was a detail of ten appointed to "take care" of Governor Morton.

There was a plot to "take care" of the governor—to kill him if necessary —to install Dr. Athon in his place, and to release the rebel prisoners at Camp Morton, and at Camp Douglas and at Camp Chase. These prisoners were to be commanded by rebel officers and be joined by a southern army marching through Cmrtberland Gap.

Rebel officers, regularly commissioned, serving in the confederate states arniy, were at the Bates House, conferring with leading democrats as to the carrying out of this plot.

A commission as lieutenant general in the confederate army for Heffren was brought from Richmond, Ya.

When Heffren was arraigned for treason against the United States he voluntarily, after a conversation with Gov. Morton and Gen. Hovey, took the stand and told all the facts connected with the treasonable plot. He swore to confidential talks had between the traitors while in prison, although he at first demurred to "peaching" upon his co-conspirators, "as a man with a little honor left." lie swore that he took the stand as a witness for the government because "he wanted to get out of a bad scrape." His attorney, Col. Cyrus L. Dunham, made a written statement, incorporated into the record, that this double perfidy of Mr. 'Heffren was entirely unknown to him, and Mr. Heffren swore that just before he look the stand he had purposely misled his counsel as to his intentions by conferring with him about what witnesses should be summoned for his defense.

He entered the military service of the United States and was lieutenantcolonel of the Fiftieth regiment.

He was given command of certain posts on the line of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, with orders to hold them, having under hitn about 500 members of his regiment.

The posts upon the railroad being attacked by the rebels, Colonel Heffren abandoned his men, leaving them to be killed or taken prisoners, and escaped in a hand-car to Nashville. Reporting to Gen. John F. Miller his superior officer, he was placed under arrest for cowardice, and afterward permitted to resign.

His resignation was indorsed by Gen. Miller "to be accepted for the good of the service," and by the district commander that "unless accepted serious charges against Colonel Heffren would be preferred."

After returning from the military service with the brand of cowardice upon him. Col. Heffren entered upon his active career as a traitor, outlined above in the facts of his connec-. tion with the order of American Knights.

Then he applied and still has pending an application for a pension from the United States government.

Closing the Journal thus summarizes the acts of the man who was the leader of one branch of the Indiana legislature.

These are the principal points in the record of Horace Ilell'ren. which have been given in the Journal from time to time "during the legislative session just closed. They are principally taken from his own sworn testimony before the military commission, and from unimpeachabie public documents. lie is shown lo have been a traitor in 1S1, a coward in i.SSJ.a secret traitor in l$tE!-t, a coward and a traitorto li is fellow-traitors in ISftl. when lie took the stand as a witness against them to net himself out "of a had scrape," after 1 i• to his ittoi'ney.

nant traitor. In bis speech in the house of representatives yesterday—in offering a resolution, voiding himself of his filth, and then withdrawing it before there could be protest or reply, and in skulking behind a constitutional privilege—he again showed himself to be a liar and a coward. Had we the desire we might inquire into the privateand family and business history of Mr. Heffren, but neither our readers nor the public arc interested iu uncovering his private life or family characteristics which led an outraged community to lynch one of the name so that there might be peace and quiet in the locality in which he lived, or in detailing business practices which resulted in proceedings fully described, in the 39th Indiana. But such is not the province or purpose of the Indianapolis Journal. We only cared to bring to general attention the public and political record of this man, whom the Democratic party has adopted as its leader and patron, and the (.uestion still remains, "What'is the Democracy going to do about it?" As for Air. Heffren, his own sworn testimony and the public records show him to be a traitor to his country and to his comrades, a miserable coward, a contemptible sneak, and a filthy liar.

A Fire Barns for Filly Years. Statesville Landmark. One of the grand jurors for the superior court at this term was Epliriam Scroggs, of Fallstowu township, concerning whom a singular and interesting little incident may be told. Mr. Scroggs now has burning on his hearth the same fire which he started when he went to housekeeping fiftyj years ago. From the day the fire was started to this it has never been permitted to go out. Summer and .winter for these fifty years it has been replenished as occasion requires. From a roaring heap it has dropped many a time to a bed of smouldering coals, but it has never been permitted to turn into ashes.

I was shot on July 1, 1S63, at Gettysburg. My shinbone was almost carried away and I was taken prisoner. The wound did not heal until the other day. Mark Belt, you know him, won the drinks for a big crowd over at the Planters' one day by betting that he could produce a man who carried his shinbone in his pocket. I was the man. I had about six inches of the bone and carried it as a prevention of rheumatism or something of that kind."

Mechanical Ingenuity in a. Carolina Darkey. Beaufort Telephone.

We have in our town a colored man who is as much of a prodigy as the veritable "Blind Tom." His name is Zacli Taylor, born in Carteret county, of parents who were slaves, is S3 years of age, never went to school in his life, and yet he can build a mill, repair a watch, tune a piano or print a newspaper. The most remarkable gift he has, however, is the ability to repeat scripture, which he can do for hours at a time without making a mistake. There isn't his equal in North Carolina or in the south, for that matter.

Jumbo Getting Fat and. Enjoying Life. Bridgeport Standard.

Jumbo, the big elephant, is growing fat. His weight is now about seven tons. He seems to be satisfied with this country. Bridgeport ozone agrees with him in fact he wouldn't go back to tho old sod if he could. He is very playful for one of his size, and will stick his trunk down into the pockets of all who come within reach with the freedom of an old acquaintance. He likes almost everything, and in spite of all lectures and sermons to the contrary will chew tobacco like an old sinner.

The Nebraska Farmer says: "One hundred pounds of corn meal is equal to seventy-six pounds of wheat, eightythree of oats, ninety of rve, 111 of barley, 333 of corn-stalks, 400 of oat straw, 500 of wheat straw, 606 of rye straw, 200 of timothy hay, 100 of clover hay, 500 of Irish potatoes, 625 of rutabagas, 900 of beets, 700 of carrots, 700 of cabbage, sixty of beans, forty of oil cake, or 1,200 of while turnips for feeding stock."

Care should be used in selecting the proper soil for each vegetable. The long varieties of beets, carrots and parsnips,.should never be grown in heavy soil that packs easily. There are kinds more suitable, such as those that grow partly out of the ground, but sandy or open, light soils are best for the long varieties.
