It seems that some French and English fishermen have been quarreling off the Grand Banks, and there is just enough in the occurrence to cause the newspapers in the two countries to talk gravely about "international complicationa."

There was a report last night that the gang would hold a jubilation over their phenomenal victory in taking a baby from its mother. Michael Moses was to be present and give choice read ings from Adjutant General Terrell's report on deserters from the draft.

That was a great victory achieved by the gang for Michael Moses. Seven lawyers, all full of spirit and supposed to be able to meet men in the contests that arise in daily life, have taken a two-years old baby from its mother. It is about like the gang to crow over a woman whose ribs were fractured by the conduct of their client.

Is not every man a free thinker? There are no shackles upon thought in this country, except tlie feeble eflort made in that direction by those who call themselves "the free thinkers."-[Indianapolis Journal.

Governor Porter tells of the address of a chairman of a meeting called in favor of Free Speech, who announced such to be the purpose of the gathering and added "if there is any one present who does not believe in Free Speech, he will please keep still else leave the hall."

Expositions, art shows, state and county fairs, fill the land and the newspapers of the various cities when read daily remind one of the loud voiced criers in front of the side sliows at the circus as they endeavor to attract the attention of the passing public. Boston has opened her foreign exhibition, Cincinnati will go wild over the Exposition there to-day, Detroit has an art loan exhibition under headway and a constant din is heard in tho direction of the Southern Exposition at Louisville.

Wiggins made a great blunder by retiring on the first round in his little affair with the elements. He predicted a great storm and ""tidal wave for May 10th, but beyond a rather high sea at Halifax, his prediction was not verified. As he quietly stole away into obscurity he remarked that we would yet hear of a terrible tidal wave on the other side of the globe. Now comes a report from a naval officer that on May 10th a small island in the Southern Pacific was almost completely deluged. This is certainly enough verification for an ordinary prophet. But Wiggins might have claimed the Ischian and Java volcanoes and tidal waves.

Senator McDonald is expected to be present at a mass meeting of the Mc-Lean-Enquirer party at Cincinnati. The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette revives an editorial that appeared in the Enquirer during the national convention at Cincinnati in 1880. After reading it one is constrained to believe that McDonald's memory is very short or that he wants to strike a peace with Boss McLean by appearing at the letter's meeting. The following is the article:

The candidacy of Joseph E. McDonald means outrageous treachery in Indiana and weakness everywhere else. Mr. Hendricks is the choice of the Democrats of Indiana for the presidency. The dishonorable manipulations through which Mr. McDonald has secured the advertisement of himself as a candidate for the presidency are, and should be, offensive to the Democratic voters and lovers of fair play in Indiana. Mr. Hendricks is the superior of Mr. McDonald in every respect—in intellect, in record, in popularity. Who are the wise men who would by falsehood anddeceitand basest trickery throw aside Mr. Hendricks for Mr. McDonald? Who are they who invite the retribution thiyt would follow? By what corrupt bargains are these things to be accomplished? When the West names a Democratic president we trust that he will be one who will adorn the office. We do not hesitate to say, though wo regret the necessity of saying, that Mr. McDonald is unfit to be nominated for the presidency by a

National Democratic convention. We do not desire that the Democratic nominee shall be put npon the defensive from the moment of his nomination. We hope for a nominee who can bear unblushing the remorseless scrutiny of the campaign. Mr. McDonald is not such a man. He is the representative oi unscrupulous corporations. If he were nominated, Democrats would not be permitted uninterruptedly to talk of the record of Garfield. It is not to such a task that we invite the Democracy of the country when they take a candidate for the presidency from the west."

From Different Standpoints.

Inter-Ocean. Things have to be Judged from different standpoints. For instance, a seedy watermelon and a seedy man.

Beauty Unadorned.

The streets of the city were frescoed with Indians, says the Bismarck Tribune—gentlemen and lady Indians— and their weird, and, in some instances, picturesque dress was a study for a painter, or a carpenter, or any one else .. ho chose to tackle it. Some of the masculine representatives of alleged nobility were quite tastily and fantastically attired, while others were clothed worn-out garments, through the frequent interstices of which dim vistas brunette cuticle flashed momentaribefore eye as the oroide braves passed along the crowded thoroughfares. The female scions of a once proud and sotty race appeared in their native grandeur and primitive grace in bright colored calicoes, the varied hues of which blended in not unpleasing harmony in the bright sunshine. The dress which attracted the most attention, however, was worn by a really prepossessing papoose of about four tender years. Its mother was evidently a

believer in the old truism that

"beauty when unadorned is adorned the most," and with a mother's tender solicitude she bad attired her darling in a manner in keeping with her ideas of beauty. The little one tripped along the confines of the dusky ranks clothed only in a

A Serious Drawback.

//.*U 'I'.JT Inspection Trip. Robert Forsythe, of the C. & E. I., accompanied by a number of Chicago prominent coal dealers, came down from Chicago Monday night on a special and went over to Brazil. The party spent yesterday in visiting the coal mines and examining coal land. Since the building of the branch to Brazil the road has realized a good business in the transportation of coal to the Chicago market. The general opinion is that the Chicago dealers made the trip to ascertain the prospects for the opening of mines. The party intended returning to their homes last night.

A New Pony.

One of the new pony switch engines which have been in process of construction, at the Vandalia shops, has been turned out. Tne other will be completed in about ten or fourteen days. These engines were commenced on the first of July and have been built entire at the shops. Work on the engine was ended last Saturday night. The engine has been in the shops sixtythree days, and deducting the numbeJ of Sundays, there were only fifty-four days in which actual work was done on it. This is regarded as remarkably quick construction and it is claimed that no other western shop has beaten this time. The cost of the engine was in the neighborhood of $7,000. The engine has been numbered 52. For the present, it will be used in the yards to limber it up. One of them will be used in the Indianapolis yards.

Promoted.

Charlie Gifford, clerk in the I. & St. L. freight office, has been promoted to the position of chief clerk in the office at Mattoon, 111. Charlie's career as a railroader has been one of quick advancement. About a year ago he entered the service of the I. & St. L. as bill clerk at Carbon. Not more than two weeks ago he was promoted to & position in the freight office at this point, and now has ascended another step by being promoted to his new position at Mattoon. Charlie is a Terre Hautean, and although his many friends dislike to have him leave them, they wish him the best of sue cess.

Indianapolis Journal. The cash receipts of the Yandalia at the Indianapolis freight stations for August were $132,532.31, an increase of $43,871.66 over July of this year and a gain of $20,361.91 over the cash receipts of the corresponding month of 1882. The local west bound tonage, as well, shows a very handsome increase over that of August, 1882. This year the west bound local tonage was 6,104,242 pounds, against 3,500,280 pounds in August, 1882 increase thisyear, 2,603,962 pounds. The in-bound business, as well, shows a very handsome increase. The Vandalia is profiting handsomely through its connection with the Illinois Central in its New Orleans and southern business. The growth of this class of traffic has been a surprise to the management.

Bethesda.

Sunday a large number of persons assembled in a beautiful hillside grove near Bethesda church, to give wellcome to many ministers who had at different times been pastors of the church. The members of the congregation, on Saturday, erected a commodious stand and seata enough to accommodate a thousand people. The low underbrush \ma cut away, and the grounds made perfectly clean. No shadier spot could be found in Vigo county. The grove is a large sugar camp, the trees large, their branches meeting overhead, making a perfect bower through which it is almost impossible for the sun's rays to penetr&tCi

The forenoon was principally occupied by Father Wood, who preached a wonderful sermon alluding to the early days, when the settlers struggled in the wilderness. The present was quite contrast to those early days. The houses were few. Only a few cabins ere scattered along the creeks. The roads were mere paths through the wilderness. Now the land was cleared, the houses were large and substantial, the people well-to-do, and many wealthy. He mentioned mauy of the earlv settlers who have passed life's iortals. There were a few present who lelped to settle the county. They were aged. Their frames were withered and they tottered as they walked. What a contrast they represented as they leaned upon their stall's for support to what they were fifty years ago, strong men and women. His vivid portrayal of early days brought tears to eyes made dim with age, and looks of profound thoughtfulness to the faces of the young. He ended his remarks amid "Amen God bless Father Wood," given by many present.

Elder Meridith followed with a few remarks. He proposed a collection for Father Wood. He knew that Father Wood did not want it, but the people were generous and willing to give. "The Sweet by and by" was sung, and the congregation shook hands with tbe old veteran of 82years. Afterwards a collection was taken up, and a goodly sum realized and turned over to him.

When the dinner hour arrived tbe hill side was covered with white cloths, on which were spreads innumerable good things to eat. There is one commendable characteristic about the people of Sugar Creek, on such occasions, everybody has to eat. They always have plenty and some to spare. Of course tflere are a few stingy "critters" who slip behind a brush-pile to eat their repast, but the major part are liberal hearted and give their friends and strangers alike a hearty welcome.

After dinner the meeting was very interesting the different ex-pastors of the church present gave sketches of their experience on the circuit. To all of them it was pleasant to look back to the time when they were pastor of Bethesda. They knew that Bethesda church was dear to the hearts of

all present It was always a pUin church. A one-story structure, wide, long and low. Its seats were without ensmons, and its pulpit without orna ments. No deep-toned organ kept time to the chanting of a costly choir. There God was worshipped "in all simplicity there the Methodist church can still be found in its former purity and simple .ways. Around its humble altar the people assembled had ed God, and taught their the way to the throne of Christ. In the church-yard they bad laid their friends. Probably not one present but who had some tie.that would keep Bethesda in his memory.

Perhaps they had been converted at its humble altar, or bad a friend—a dear father or mother, a brother or sister, son or daughter—at rest in its quiet yard. No matter where they would go memory would carry them back to Bethesda, to the little church, the church yard, and the wooded hills.

The assemblage dispersed about four o'clock, all Feeling that a pleasant and profitable day had been spent. '.if:

Catholic Benevolence.

Communicated. v,v The meeting at Evansville on last Sunday of the Central 8ociety of the German Catholic Benevolent Societies of the United States brought together quite a number of societies from different places. Among the societies was the St. Francis society of this citv, accompanied by the Ringgold band The religious ceremonies took place the church of the Holy Trinity, where pontifical high mass was 'said by Bishop Chatard, of Vincennes dioCese. Bishop Martin Marty, of Dakota Abbot Finton Mundweiler, of St. Meinrad, and about a dozen other priests were present. Abbot Finton Mundweiler preached a beautiful sermon upon the objects and duties of the societies. In the afternoon the procession took place, with about two thousand men in line, composed of eight divisions, each division being preceded by a band. Our Ringgold, as usual, drew forth many complimentary remarks, which, it must be said, was very pleasing to Terre Haute visitors. The society from here cannot praise their brethren of Evansville too much for the generous treatment they re ceived while their guests.

THE YEAR'S FATALITIES.

A Summary of tlie Death Boll for the Eight Months. New York Tribune.

It was generally remarked at the time of the earthquake in Ischia that the year 1883 had been full of horrors, casualties and mortal visitations of all kinds following one another in quick succession, and resulting in a destruction of human life whose sum total is fairly startling. Barely a month has passed since that time, and the death roll of the year, from pestilence, earthquake, fire and accident has more than doubled tin that brief time, bringing the grim totals far up above those of previous years. A recapitulation of the more important of these events may not be the pleasantest of tasks, but it may have its lesson, after all.

In the opening month of the year: the Cimbria sank, drowning 431 persons seventy or eighty lost their lives in the hotel fire at Milwaukee, 268 by the burning of a circus in Poland seventy-two were drowned by the flooding of a mine in Australia twentyone were killed by a railroad accident a* Tehichipa, in California eighteen convicts were drowned by the upsetting of a flat-boat in North Carolina, and ten persons by the sinking of the Citv of Brussels and ten were killed by the explosion of a mine in Illinois. In February there was the Fourthstreet school panic in this city, which cost sixteen children their lives. In the Braidwood mine disaster seventyseven lives were lost and by floods in various parte of the county fifty-six. In March eleven persons were burned at Drownsville, Minnesota. In April 200 lives were lost by various tornadoes, and fourteen persons were killed by the fall of a hotel in Texas. In Mav the Brooklyn bridge panic cost 14 lives, and tornadoes swallowed up 118 more. In June theie was the terrible panic of children in Sunderland, England, in which 202 were killed in this country the total number of deaths reported from floods and tornadoes was fifty-eight. In July there was the launch disaster at Glasgow. where the latest estimate of the loss put it at 150, seventy-two persons were drowned by the falling of the rotten pier at Baltimore seventeen were killed by a railroad accident at Carlyon in this state seventeen were drowned by floods at London, Ontario afire in Hungary burned twenty. The month closed with the earthquake in Ischia. The latest estimates seemed to put the number of lives lost at between 4,000 and 4,000, but The Cologne Gazette, at the same time, declared that the number must have reached 8,000.

Other casualties in the old world not already mentioned were the loss of 373 lives from the fishing fleets off the coasts of England during heavy storms of 140 by floods in Germany and Hungary of 150 by an avalanche on Mount Ararat of 230 by three powder explosions—in Holland, and Italy, and at Scutari of 162 by two mine explosions —at Bessieres, Fiance, and in Sicily. A panic in a factory at Bombay, a boiler explosion in France, and a fire at Dervia, Italy, add 104 deaths to the list. During the month of August the tornado at Rochester, Minnesota, killed sixteen persons. A scaffolding on the King of Bavaria's new palace at Lake Cheim fell and killed twenty-three workmen, wounding seventeen others. Twelve men were hurled down a mine shaft in Cornwall, and killed. A week ago the collision of the St. Germain and the Woodburn of Eddystone Light cost eighteen lives. A number of fishermen have just been reported drowned in the storms of Newfoundland, and the month closes with the terrific climax of an estimated loss of 30,000 lives —perhaps more—by the eruptions in Java.

There is more yet, Cholera has been raging both in India and Egypt, and yellow fever has been prevalent in Cuba. At the end of July it was estimated that 12,000 persons had died of cholera in India, and tho death rate has continued heavy. Estimates as to Egypt vary somewhat. At the beginning of August the general estimate appeared to be about 11,000, but the London Daily News put it at 16,000. During the month of August nearly 10,000 deaths in all in Egypt have been reported in cable dispatches to this country, giving each day's death-rate. The yellow fever returns are imperfect, but the victims can be numbered by hundreds.

This enumeration covers, of course, only the more striking of these visitations. Many are omitted in which the loss of life was' less severe. Very many, no doubt, never reach the newspaper reader's eye at all. Complete as the system of gathering tbe news of

escape it. uut here we have, merely in a summary of notable events, necessarily imperfect, and taking the lowest estimates in each case, a record of the loss in eight months by accident, fire and pestilence, of more than 71,000 lives. How manv more a complete enumeration would show, we can only guess. What a sermon upon the uncertainty and the little worth of human life I

"Is this ticket good on any train?' demanded a woman who had just purchased a ticket for Chicago. "No," replied the agent, mildly. "It isn't good on the Chicago Limited." "It ain't, eh growled the woman. "I'll find out whether it aiu't before I get to the end of your road. Point out the train that I can't ride on with this ticket."

The accommodating agent pointed oat the emigrant train, and the woman boarded it with a fierce determination to stick SB long as the line held out, And she went to Chicago feeling a great deal more comfortable than she would have been in a parlor car, to which she supposed her ticket did not admit her. i«0

Swindlers and their Victims—How C&reless People Suffer in Healthy and Pocket.-, i,. •.

Every streak of sunshine creates a shadow, and behind every truth crouches its corresponding lie. Whosoever has not been in some way fooled and robbed by swindlers and their works has had better luck in life than most mortals. In fact the best witnesses to the value of a given article are the counterfeits and imitations which seek to share its success without possessing a fraction of its merit. Hence it goes without saying that

BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLASTERS are pursued by .a host of miserable and worthless imitators, eager to appropriate what they can of the fruits of its victories. These leeches commonly take the form of a cheap plaster.

Now, these harmless and worthless plasters would be detected in a minute if people were careful in reading and remembering" names. But most persons merely glance at them, understand partially and forget instantly. What result? This: Desiring to buy BENSON'S CAPCINE PLASTER, their own carelessness enables some storekeeper or druggist, who cares more for five or ten cents additional profit than for the sweets of an approving conscience, to roll them up instead some cheap imitation with a similar name. The deceit often works, while the fraudulent plasters never do.

Don't permit yourself to be thus victimized for lack of a moment's care. BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLASTERS have stood the test of science and experience and are the product of both. Examine the article, and satisfy yourself that the word CAPCINE is CUT in it.
