The princely beggars at Rome will wear a longing expression as Minister Astor with his $70,000,000 passes by.

This passes all' eudurance. We are last ditchers now. The Bloomfield Democrat speaks of the Wabash as a rivulet.

Who would have thought it? Swartwood stands at'the head in the batting avorage of the season. Swartwood is the man for the Democracy next year

Judge Hoadly is undergoing a similar state of mind to that possessed by a person who prays for death while Buffering excruciating pain on a sick bed.

Washington correspondents' are quoting Secretary New as saying he would resign October 1st to better devote his time to private affairs in this state.

The Ohio Democracy now say Hoadly will soon return from Philadelphia with his "second wind." Poor man, it seems a shame to knock him out so often.

P. D. Armour, the Chicago specular tor, is worth $10,000,000. There are more than a thousand men, however, who have failed to make af mnch in the same way.

The Express is most emphatically for Cobb as the Democratic candidate for governor. We are for him if for nothing else than to see him shaking his ponderous head as he parades through the state.

Yesterday was one of those days of which we ought to have three or four during fair week. It can be brought about so that the gate receipts of yesterday can be duplicated three days in the week.

Jay Gould says the government should not conduct the postal business of the country. Jay Gould wouldn't mind cutting down the small salary of the letter carriers and putting the difference in his own pocket.

The editor of the Vincennes Commercial who is enjoying the luxury of publishing a Republican newspaper in an Andrew Jackson community, is now assailed because of his weight. Presently the Democratic press will abuse him for taking a bath.

Ex-Secretary Evarts says there are four names that will be presented in the Republican national convention, and that one of them will be selected to head the presidential ticket. These names are: Chester A. Arthur, Geoige F. Edmunds, W. T. Sherman and James G. Blaine.

There were twelve Democrats on the Frank James jury. The chief point of the defense was the "chivalric charges" led by "Colonel" James while a confederate officer in the late unpleasantness. Frank James was acquitted. The verdict was applauded ir. the court room.

Frank James has been acquitted in the Winston case, but was remanded to await trial on other charges. There is no necessity of speeading the dis .race too thick. Let him go on parole, the pledge being that he is never to be quoted or seek publicity again. Let him drop out of sight.

Senator Don Cameron went out of his way in Scotland driving many miles to call on the mother of his Har* risburg gardener. The Cameron's, father and son, are famous for their fidelity of personal attachments. This trait of character is said to be one of the principal causes of their success in public life.

State Treasurer Cooper having returned from New York "chock full" of political wisdom, and his friend, the Hon. Franklin Landers restored as receiver of the Indiana Banking Company, how would it do for him, in the exultation of the moment, to tell us all about the state funds, where they have been and where they are now.

We observe with considerable gratification that the remarkable improvement in the associated press service dates with the advent of Mr. Wm. Henry Smith into the management of both the New York and Western Associated Press. While we deplore the fact that he is from Ohio yet we rejoice in knowing that he is a western man.

Oar rock ribbed and patriotic democratic friends are going on a strike it seems. The Lafayette Courier says: "We are on the verge of another great strike. It will come next year. The Democrats of Indiana who, according to Democratic papers, received two dollars for voting the Democratic ticket in 1880, have solemnly resolved that on account of the increased cost of living, the price in 1884 must be at least $2.50. They will appoint a committeee to compromise the matter at $2.26, if possible.

And now comes State Senator Bell, of Fort Wayne,

very

the waist, less about the chest, and wearing a number five and a half hat, who t-hinkw Hendricks ought to get out of McDonald's way. He has been in New York, and some one deluded Gath into the impression that Bell belied his appearance, and that he was worth interviewing. The only greatness Bell was ever credited with was thrust upon him by Hendricks, several years ago. But the accidental possession of wealth gave Bell an idea that he was great, in himself. Hence he travels where the interviewer lurks. This is but a specimen instance of the plight of the Indiana Democracy. Hendricks deserted by his friends, is compelled to run about the country making himself known much after the manner of a local politician!

With all the years' fatalities from cyclones and storms on land it would be safe to say that more deaths have resulted from the deplorable practice of carrying a pistol. Men in drunken quarrels have committed murders which would not have been committed if the murderers had been sober. But of all the tragedies arising from this terrible practice the one at San Fran cisco day before yesterday is the most wretched instance. While drunk two men who were warm friends began trifling with the death dealing weapon and one in a spirit of drunken recklessness placed the muzzle in his mouth asking the other to pull the trigger. He complied the self cocker Was discharged and the man fell dead There is in every state a law against carrying cencealed weapons and it is to be hoped that a movement may be set on foot which will secure the en forcement of the law. It is a cause as worthy of an organized effort as any aimed at a common evil.

The Chances Against Him.

The Queen of Beauty.

Chicago Special.

Arabella Johnson, who was recently the victor in an alleged "beauty contest" at a dime museum in thiB city, and who is familiarly known as "Number Nine," began a suit in the Superior court, to-day, for $20,000 damages against John G. Clark and John McGreer. The plaintiff alleges in her bill of grievances that she is a personage of importance and more than local fame that her father was an influential citizen, at one time a state senator, and that she herself is a neat, genteel and comely-appearing lady, and on account thereof, and of the social position of her family, had always been ad mitted into the best society of the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois. She furthermore relates that the Dime museum some time ago offered a prize for the most beautiful lady, the choice to be determined by a "contest of beauty," and the successful contestant to be declared the "'Queen of Beauty." Fifteen entered, and the charming Arabella relates that "at the solicitation of friends she became a competitor for the royalty of beauty, and was known as 'Num ber Nine,' and 'on account of her comely, genteel and dignified appearance at the contest she knocked out all of her opponents in four rounds, and was declared by the votes of the spectators the 'Queen of Beauty.'" Yes, as she alleges, the defendants, who are publishers of cartoons at No. 233 Dearborn street, intending to ridicule and burlesque her, and to bring her into pnblic scandal, made a caricature of the fair Queen. Arabella avers that these caricatures have caused her to be avoided, shunned and ridiculed, and thinks that the sum of $20,000 would be a fair compensation.

Marwood, the Hangman. New York Tribune. Marwood, the public hangmin, seems to have lost his head in consequence of lavish honors recently bestowed upon him. Received in the galleries of the house of parliament as a distinguished public personage, and conspicuously mentioned in the personal paragraph column in the daily press wherein the movements of royalty, the programmes of ministries and the intentions of political leaders are solemnly chronicled, he has breathed an atmosphere that has been to rare for him by many depees. Oppressed with the glory of his ater days, he has shuffled off thfi mortal coil almost as abruptly as the nam* erous victims of justice whom he has assisted out of life.

A Horrible Propensity of Parents, The horrible propensity of parents crazed by religious frenzy to put their children to death as a sacrifice has again been illustrated by the Erie county farmer, Sylvester Knott, who almost succeeded in crucifying his son and burning his daughter alive. Just a month before a father and mother named Hicks, in Charleston, 111., attempted to crucify one of their children on across wnich they had constructed for the purpose. Alittle before that a Pennsylvania woman held her child'B hands on a hot stove, while die prayed, to burn the

The other night one of the slumbering hogs rolled out of the thief's wagon. A kind-hearted farmer who came along the road assisted the thief to load up again, amid profuse thanks. When the farmer reached home he discovered that the pig was from bis own sty.

Premonitions of Earthqnakes. London Times. From a second report made by Professor Michele Stefano. di Rossi, head of the Centml Geodynamic Observatory at Rome, to the Minister of Agriculture, on- tfafe'phenomena connected with the 'earthquake in Ischia, it appears that not only were therefor some days beforehand very distinct premonitory sigfis at Casamicciotla of the impending catastrophe, but that throughout the peninsula forewarnings, identical in character! were numerous and widespread. On the island of Ischia there wa6 as extraordinary increase in 'the temperatuie of the thermal waters and in the violence' of the'fumaroli (i.

e.,

the natural smoke

funnels) at the spot called Monte Cito. These phenomena were noticed eight days before the' catastrophe 6rcurred. On these important points the evidence which Professor di Rossi obtained is abundant. There is less inclusive'testimony ctfticerning the shrinking arid' consequent scarcity of the drinking water in the wells* But he has absolutely certified that, commencing from a period a fortnight anterior to July 2$, many slight shocks of earthquake, of almost daily recurrence, were felt, And subterrarfean rumblings were henrd.

Pnenomeila identical with these preceded the earthquakes in Ischia in 1828, 1851 and 1881 and Professor di Rossi emphatically states that bad an observatory been established in Ischia after the earthquake of 4881, according to the advice he then gave, and the phenomena which manifested themselves at Ca3amicciola from July 20 onward been communicated to him at the Central observatory in Rome, he'would not have hesitated an iistatit i» pointing out tbe imminent danger of an impending seismic disturbance. While the above mentioned phenomena were occurring in Ischia, without their being communicated .to Rome, or even, for want of means, properly noted on the spot, the existence of unusual subterranean activity was simultaneusly marked by the instruments in all the observatories on the mainland. That activity,: though varying intensity in different places, manifested a general and regularly progressive augmentation. Slight shocks of earthquake' were felt at various points. The regular observations atB'ologha, atPi&mdlo, near Placcenia and at Rome showed that there Was a distinct lowering in the levels of the wells before Jtrly 28 and as marked a rise after that date. These facts confer increased credibility on the imperfect evidences of there having been a deficiency of water in the wells at Casamiciciola. Moreover, on the morning of Sunday, the 29th, the usually very cold waters of the Solforata of Albano were in a boiling state. The intimate connection between these phenomena on the peninsula and the catastrophe in Ischia is more than evident, and their distinct dynamic and volcanic character absolutely excludes the idea of a mere local sinking in the level.
