Terre Haute offers manufacturing industries unequalled inducements.

There are nine railroads leading Into the city, making freight rates cheaper than for any city jf Its size In the west.

The ExpreBS is in daily receipt of many complaints concerning the stealing of papers from door yards. It is difficult to prevent this annoyance entirely, but as a means of preventing it

Sunday papers are undoubtedly the best of all newspapers for advertising purposes. They have larger circulations than the week day issues, and are more closely read. The advertising patronage of the Sunday Express has increased so much that we are compelled to ask the advertisers to send in their copy early in the afternoon, as it taxes th« resources of the office to the utmost to handle the matter if it comes in later in the day.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

Mush and Liquor.

To the Editor of the Express. Sir: A few weeks ago as I returned home from a very impressive festival at a late hour of the niKlit, I throw myself down upon my couch. I ioon fell in a deep sleep and in.my sleep 1 dreamed, and in my dream I fell in a trance, and In my trance I saw a vision, and in my vision I saw a great wonder. I saw little woman clothed with the sun, and the moon was under her feet, and I saw a great sheet let down in the church knit together at the four corners and it was filled with all kinds of eatables and drinks, and 1 heard a voice saying come eat and urink and be merry, for there is a time to laugh and danceand a time lo eat and drink and be drunken. And 1 saw another vision. A great round kettle was lot down filled with corn mush, and tho kettle began to roll In all directions, until it filled the whole world with its contents, and I saw a man's hand-writing on the wall, "Whosoever therefore will bo a friend of the world is the ctieiny of God," (James 41 and while wo all meditated whatthese tilings meant .we heard a voice behind the altar speaking to the seven churches in Asia, saving come over into Maccedona and help us.

The title of honorable was stricken {com before the names of the board. The report to the governor will show the institution to be in a flourishing condition. The present term (winter) opened with a larger. attendance than at any former winter term. f*

The board resolved to expend $1,000 in purtfiasing philosophical and chemical instruments, and a manikin. The order will be given at once. The greater part of the instruments will be ordered from Europe.

The following table shows the total enrollment for each term, the average term enrollment, and the whole number of different students, who have attended each year since the organization of the school.

Average Term Enrollment.

Whole No. Different Pupils for the Year.

A record has been kept of the avo' cation of the parentspf fchosa ctudents who have attended since its organiza-: tion. Nearly all of them come from the farms and the workshops. The following is a detailed statement of the per cent, of attendance from the different vocations: Children of farmers -...70 percent mechanics 10 merchants 4 professional men.. 6 -V laborers, railroad

The plan of the school contemplates three classes of Btudents. The largest laas, at present, is composed of nersDns who resort to I he school before engaging in the work of teaching, or before completing their scholastic education. These have to receive instruction in the ordinary branches of learning, as well as in methods. Another class of students have had some experience in tcacliing, or have received a secondary (location. These resort to the Normal school in order to discuss the theory of iqstrm--tion and discipline. and to staity the best wetbod? ratiiff ihaa

to gain a knowledge of the subjects they have teen teaching. To this class belong also the graduates of high schools, who r^H tO/th« ^onMi school to secure professional training. A third class is provided for under present arrangements, namely: College graduates, who are to devote themselves wholly to the study of methodB, and whose course of study is proportionately short It is hoped that this class will increase nntfl it forms the greater part of the school. A system of public instruction that-does not attract men and womein of liberal culture into the profession, of teaching is defective in a most important particular. When men and women of the scholarly vocation can see in teaching afield for the exercise of their best gifts and the opportunity for a career, they will devote them*, selves to his calling, and thus give a growing efficiency to the whole teaching body, So this end there most be au opportunity for the study of education as a philosophy and as a history. It is on tlus account that we look with great favor upon the organization of this higher course of professional study in the Indiana State Normal school and we sineerely hope that many graduates from colleges inll welcome this new departure in normal instraction. "The instruction in methods, the board of visitors find to be excellent. The model school in connection with the Normal school is well managed, and tarnishes a school of observation for the lower class and a school of practice for the more advanced class of the Normal school. The results of observation in the model school, iui well as the results of actual teaching in it, are discussed by the pupilB subsequently under th^ supervision of the

Eave

rofessor of mevhods. The visitors noticed that the pupils are of mature age, tuostly students from, the country, very many of whom nave earned the mbfaey that' Supports them and pays their expenses at the school. They are fitting themselves at their own expense, for the profession of teacher. This fact makes the general tone of the schobl very earnest. Notwithstanding this, the mechanism of discipline and order throughout the school is verjr thorough and precise. Fot this fact the visitors commend the school in high terms. It Beems to them quite necessary that the students shall have impressed on their minds the ideal of a properly conducted school. What they learn to conform to as pupils.will be easier to establish as teachers in schools of their own. This is one very important part .of the work of the normal fechool that is often neglected for the reason that it is not the most obr, vious part. It is correctly held thai the object of the normal school is not so much to. accustom the pupil to correct methods as to make him acquainted with the theory on which, they are based, and the history of their discovery and progress. So long as one has only practice withotit theory, lie has a mere technical skill which is incapable of development and wide application, school, they note the prevalence of an atmosphere of refined courtesy in all parts of the school, calculated to impress the pupils strongly with the' true ideal of personal hearing that the teacher should have toward his 8chool. "The State Normal school derives its pupils from the rural districts to a larger extent than from the cities, for the reason that some of the largest cities have fouud it necessary to provide special professional training Jor the tnariy pew teachers needed to sup ply their vacancies. Biit special training schools cannot be established except where the school system under one board Jf oontvoi io very large. The country districts must therefore look ta the State Normal for trained and accomplished teachers.

The board of visitors read with satisfaction the report of increase of numbers the past year, showing an en rollment of about 700 different pupils within the year, an average for each term of seventy pupils more than any term previous. "They would call attention to the unity of feeling which is manifest in the faculty of the institution, and find in it a good omen for the future prosperity and efficiency-of the school, ..u "Respectfully submitted. i"WM.

DECORATING FOR DAYS.

jj-

1 .j men,etc 10 As to theefficiency of the State Normal it is only necessary to refer to the. report of the board of visitors, who were appointed by the stale board of education, to inspect and report upon the work oi the Indiana State Normal school. The board of visitors is composed of the following persons:. Wm. T. Harris, LL. D., late superintendent of St. Louis Wm. H. Payne, A. M., of tho chair of. education in -Michigan University, and H. S. Tarbell, A. M., superintendent of schools of. Indianapolis. All eminent scholars. "They note with pleasure, the char acter of instruction given at the school, as being professional, rather than elementary, and as best calculated to fit teachers for the business of instruction and management of schools. In the numerous and excellent high schools and colleges of Indiana, sufficient opportunity is given for obtaining a general education. The instruction given in the Normal school differs from that given in the High school not so much in the subjects taught as in the manner of teaching them. The Normal school undertakes to teach not only the subject but also the principles of its exposition, exhibiting the grounds of its arrangement and the proper order of presenting it to the minds of children. In other words, it introduces the principles of psychology into the treatment of the subject taught. The recitation should not merely develop the subject, but also the method of explaining it to immature minds. The system in operation at Terre Haufe insures acquaintance with the methods of teaching the subjects of study in the common schools, as well as the proper modes of securing discipline. Special attention appears to be given to the investigation of the true method of developing subjects and unfolding their exposition in the most easy and natural manner for the learner.

THE HOLI

Mosses

Lively Demand for JFlowers, Holly, and Mistletoe. Obioago News. "Now is the summer of our discon tent made glorious ^-winter/' paraphrased a leading florist yesterday. "The winter season is no less a picnic for our business than the coal trade. Prosperity begins with us about Thanksgiving and continues to increase until New Year's. The demand for flowers and decorations of all kinds is heavy, and we fix the prices to suit ourselves." "See," he continued, holding up seedy-looking Niphetos bud that had already seen its best days, "this bud now sells for 10 cents at wholesale, but by Christmas we will obtain 25 Or 80 cents for such a flower, and yon can't buy them at retail for less than 50 cents." ,nx

Deftly placing together half a dozen rose-buds, including" Niphetos, Catharine: Mermet, Perle aes Jardins, Cornelia.Cook, and others, he said they could not be bought during holiday. ..week for less than $5. HouseTand store decorations is yearly becoining more popular. At many stores are to be seen graceful festoons of lycopodium, commonly called bouquet green, which is brought in carloads from -Wisconsin and other northern states. All the florists have large demands for holly, which grows in large quantities in the central southern states. One dealer said that a few years ago be only sold six or eight cases during the winter. His first order this year was for 125 cases, and he has been obliged to increase his supply. The mistletoe, so popular in holiday decoration in England, is growing in popularity here. In cut flowers carnations are mostly in demand. They are to the florist what flour is to the grocer. Roses, lillies of the valley, violets, and smilax are also popular.

English Novels in France. London Autbenieum. The works of Mr. William Black are becoming more and more appreciated in Franco. Some while ago an elaborate article on his novels, by Mr. Boucher, appeared in the Revue des Deux Mondes. We now learn that his "Princess of Thale" has been translated into French by Prof. Casimar StrylenBki, of the Lycee de Versailles, and will be published shortly

Col-

man Levy. The book will be introduced to French readers by l'r f. Guillaume Guizot in a preface, or ther an introductory essay, treating now only of the "Princess," but of the English novel of the present day in general.

ifopg and Other Herbs.

Chicago News. "Hops!" said a South Water street dealer in herbs, repeating the word after a Daily News reporter, who had suggested that bitter tommodily as a subject for,conversation. "Oh, hops are grown in nearly every state of the nnion. The great hop states, however, are Wisconsin and New York, flops are about the only herb that people in the. United States take the trouble to rafee for sale. Even sage, in whieh we have the next largest trade, comes, almost entirely from Europe. It is so cheap that there is no tnoney to be made by raising it. Oc&n vessels will not carry it except as ballast. It comes tightly packed in bales weighing 400 pounds efech, and measuring three by four feet. After the sage is removed from these bales and sorted we sell it for onlysix and seven cents a pound." ''what other herbs are used in cooking?" -'"Summer (savory, majoram, and thyme. There is little demand for any of them, however. We get them, not from bid, ladies' gardens, as you might suppose, but from Europe. They are bought almost exclusively by people of foreign birth, who use them in soups and for dressings of various kinds. Majoram and summer savory are German: herbs. Thyme comes from ltaly, where it grows wild."

DAMAGES AGAINST A PRIEST.

Father Flurou^e McCai'ly Heavily Muleted lbr a Brutal Assault. New York Special. .. 1

FatherJTlorence MiiCarty, pastor of St. Cecelia Roman Catholic church, Brooklyn, had a judgment of $10,000 and $350 counsel fees entered up against him in the Circuit court, today. Mi6s Bridget E. Cronin, aged 18 year* chagre^ the priest with1 criminal assault, and saed for $10,000 damages. The case wefnt by default. In her testimony Mis$ Cronin said that on Jan. .12 last, she! went to Father McCarthy's liousej accoinpaniedy a little boy. The hither came to the top of the stairs and called down to her to come up. She was going to take the boy up stairs with her, but the priest said: "Leave hinh down there." She went up stairs and entered the parlor, followed by the ^priest, who dosed the door. In a few'minutes he asked her to go into a small room adjoining and pull down the shades She declined to do so, and he attempted to commit a brutal assault. He then tried to reason her out df her scruples. Failing in this, he would not let her go until she had prmised to tell no one. Having arranged her hair tod bonnet she quitted the house. She told her parents and others of the assault, and also informed Bishop Loughlin, but Father McCarthy is still pastor of the church.

Crime, Tyranny and Small Feet in China. ,(1 New York Bun. ....

A large ^proportion of {he" throng at the Baptist ministers' meeting, yesterday, werei wbmen assembled to hear Miss Adele Fields, for eighteen years a missionary in or near Swatow, China, sgeak of her experience among the Chinese women. Miss Fields said the progress of Christianity among the women of, China had been slow, but the difficulties encountered at every step were enormous. Infanticide was a terribly common crime among them, and it was very hard to persuade them that it was sinful to kill a girl baby, One woman, long after she had become a Christijan and a zealous worker for the church, was smitten with a con viction ol her guilt in having destroyed heJ five jdaughters within .an hour of the birth of each. She went to Miss Fields and asked il she might not hope to be forgiven.

The bandaging of the feet of Chinese giitU to' stop their growth was a horrible evil, and one that the missionaries had striven hard, and with some success, to1 check. The practice dated back 900 years. A very brutal man once told Miss Fields that if the women were not thus crippled, they wbuTdl)&~as strong as the men, and the latter would no longer be able to bear them.

There was very little marital felicity in China. The girl had no voice in the choice of her husband. She was simply carried to her intended father-in-law's house, and there introduced to the bridegroom. "What did you think of him wbeh you first saw him?" was a- question Miss Fields had often asked, and the reply almost invariably was: "I hated' him." Except among the Christians,/ wife-beating wis carried on in #very family. A friend of Miss Fieldsi who had gained the affections of a Chinese wife, was approached by the latter, who whispered in her ear:

Does your husband often beat you?" "I am sorry he is dead," said a widow, referring to her deceased husband, 'Ha. was very good to me He seldom beat me." Their standard of happiness was not to be beaten often. None bad an idea of what it was not to be beaten at all. *r-

Frank James's trial has been set for January 14. With one of her distinguished citizens at the chief clerk's desk in Washington and another of her distinguished citizens at the criminal's bar in Kansas City, the grand old state of Missouri would seem in a fair way to become the cynosure of all eyes this winter.
