Terre Haute offers manufacturing Industries unequalled Inducements. Fuel te cheaper than In any city in the west, so sheap that flour is manufactured at less sost for power than prevails anywhere else in the country. There are nine railroads leading Into the city, making freight rates cheaper than for any city jt its size In the west.

We are very glad to note that the telegraph and telephone monopolies are meeting with very severe opposition. 'v. .,.

Since the meeting at the city council chamber last evening, there is no donbt that we will have a Merchants' and Manufacturers' Exchange in Terre Haute. The presence of so many of onr leading citizens showed how the idea had been received and the willingness of all to do anything looking to the completion of the organization makes it certain that we are to be sup plied with that which is demanded by the best interests of the city.

There is hope that the Gazette will break the silence of over a year and express an opinion on the subject of the tariff. The ray is not very bright, but it gives hope of better things. While the reader will notice that it is non-committal, yet the word tariff has broken into the editorial columns of our esteemed contemporary. This is it:

Congressman Morrison, chairman of the ways and means committee. Is said to have almost completed his tariff bill. It provides for a horizontal reduction In all custom duties of about 20 percent. In no case, however, is a reduction to be below the point fixed in the Morrill tariff bill of

The quarrel among the mdianapplis newspapers as to which first started the soldiers' monument boom is made very ridiculous by the revival of the fact that some years ago an organization was formed for the purpose. No doubt the primary mover in the cause was a private Boldier. The Indianapolis Times of yesterday says:

Some two years ago the members of the Grand Army of the Republic made an organization to build a soldiers' monument, and selected the following officers: General J. K. Carnahan, chairman Fred Knefler, John Coburn, A. D. Lynch, J. L. HcMaster, Dr. Wooden, of Greensburg R. S. Robertson, of Fort Wayne, and Dr. Agnew, of Vincennes.

Circulars were sent out, and all the posts In the State were asked to co-oper-ate with tbe committee. General Carnahan always refers to the effort to build the monument, in his addresses to the posts he visits, and but a few dollars have yet been contributed, except by the Geo. H. Thomas post, of this city. At a meeting of a number of persons Interested in the monument, yesterday, It was decided that no new organization was needed, and that General Carnahan proceed 1o push the work at once. He has accordingly opened a subscription book, and is now ready to receive the subscriptions and aid of all persons who are desirous of contributing to this good work.

The scientinc American takes Mr. Calkins to task for bis bill introduced in the house which provides that in cases where parties are sued for infringement of patents, the plaintiff or patentee shall pay the costs of the suit, if the damages awarded are less than twenty dollars. The paper argues that as the great majority of patents are upon articles not worth twenty dollars the patentee would thus find it cheaper to allow the infringement than prevent it. In applying the# efiects of the law to Indiana the American says, "Her population is at present 2,000,000, and while in 1860 the number of her manufacturing establishments was estimated at 5,500, it is at present estimated at 12,000. Now, by referring to the patent office reports of inventions, it would be almost impossible to mention a single industry which is not in one way or another protected by a patent, and there have been issued to citizens of Indiana alone between 6,000 and 7,000 patents, which are still in force. The injury which Mr. Calkins would work on his own constituents mightamount to large sums."

Ex-Speaker Keifer having been fairly convicted of misrepresentation before the committee in his statement that he had not demanded the resignation of a competent official that he might give the place to his nephew, naturally felt chagrined and revengeful toward those who had brought about his discomfiture. Among these was Gen. Boynton, the correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, and the result is we see the exspeaker charging the correspondent with an attempt to corrupt the former in a matter of legislation. Gen. Boyn-

v-

ton has denied the whole conversation wherein it was alleged a corrupt proposition was made. An investigation has been ordered,and we will get the truth of-^the matter. We say we will get the truth beet use Boynton is the kind of a man who never stops short of establishing the truth of any dispute in which he is concerned. Mr. Keifer might have charged Gen. Boynton with vindictiveness but when he accuses him of being corrupt lie makes a bad mistake. Nine-tenths of those who know both men will believe Gen. Boynton's side of the story.

The New York State Overland Telephone company is apparently intending to give the Bell companies a lively tussle for the right and for the patronage of the public. The Overland company while awaiting a final decision by the courts, which have thus far given decisions favorable to the new company, is pushing its lines and exchanges in every direction, thus indi eating the faith it has in the ultimate decision of the courts. A license to incorporate has been granted by. the secretary of the state for Illinois for the formation of a stock company to operate the Overland Telephone company, and it is also in tended to take the same steps in Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Dakota, The capital represented is $13,500,000, and the name of the company will be the.Northwestern Overland Telephone & Telegraph company. It is promised that, when this telephone comes into operation it will be offered at one-third less cost than those at present in use. The patent upon which the company propose to operate and manufacture telephones, is the Baxter patent, and it is claimed that, as the patent does not rightfully belong to the Bell Telephone company, the competition of manufacture is open to all alike.

REPRESENTATIVE MACKE Y'S ."'•r DEATH. "'V-

A Congressman Who Was Married to an Octoroon of Great Beanty. Washington Special.

The death of Congressman Mackey of South Carolina, at an early hour tbis morning, was very sudden. He was on the floor of the house last Thursday, but, feeling bad, left before that body adjourned. His death was caused by peritonitis, which is inflamation of the membranous lining of the stomach. This was what was so greatly feared would attack the late President Garfield in the first few days after he was shot.

Mr. Mackey represented a district in South Carolina in which the black vote, since the state has been redistricted, is so great that it is overwhelmingly Republican. In the last congress he was seated only after a long and heated contest, ending by the Republican majority making an extraordinary change in the rules in order to put a stop to what is called filibustering.

It is said that Robt. Small, the colored man who was in the last house, will be Mackey's successor.

There was an interesting feature in the domestic relations of the deceased congressman. Fred. Donglaag married

The colleagues of Representative Ed mund W. M. Mackey, of South Carolina, refused to announce his death to the house Monday, and the announce-' ment was made by a negro member from North Carolina. The reason given is that Mackey had committed the error of marrying a woman who had negro blood in her veins, which fact made him socially an outcast.

y."

he don't.

This is his first term in congress, and when he came down here last November he made some remarks to onr friend Lycurgus Dalton, who is an Indiana man also, and was then in the senate folding room, but now postmaster of the house. 'Now, Curg,' Said Wood, 'I'm no hog. I don't want everything I'm a reasonable man, but there are some things I must have. You know mine is a close district, and I've got to show what I'm made of down here I must get a place on three committees. I don't care about anything else. They can give me other committees if they want to, but I must be on the elections, flfcys and means, and the judiciary committees, anyway, but I'll take the chairmanship ot one of them, no matter which one. I don't want to bt dictatorial or anything of that sort. Either chairmanship will do, but I must have one of them. That will make things all right up in my district with the boys, and I can stay here as long as I like. There won't be any trouble about fixing that, will there Curg?' Dalton told him that he thought the requirements very moderate, indeed. The speaker put him on the mining committee and the claims committee." "Wood studied law down in Terre

Haute," put in a bystander." After he was admitted to the bar he went up to Crown Point, and they elected him to the legislature. Legislators were getting $6 a day then in Indiana, and, as it was about the first money he ever earned, Wood thought he was rich. He told all his friends how much money he was going to lay up. A man like Wood naturally considered how he should best invest his money. He said to one of his acquaintances, and I think it was Dan Voorhess, 'I believe I'll go into the fancy stock business—fancy horse stock, I mean Now, what do" you think is the best sort of fancy horse stock to go into What do you think of Arabian horses? Voorhees told him he thought the Arabian kind would do. 'I thought so,' said Wood, 'and I've already writ ten to the cheriff of Mecca to send me a pair of Arabian horses. I told him to put them on the cars and ship them to Alexandria, where they could be put on board a vessel to come to New York. I told him to send them C. 0 D.' Voorhees asked him how much he expected to pay for horses. 'Oh,' said Wood. 'I suppose they'll stand me in about $400. When he was asked what the distance was from Mecca to Alexandria,he said he supposed it was about fifty miles, and when Voorhees told him it was probably twenty times that distance, Wood said, 'They'll probably stand me in a hundred more then, won't they?' I don't know whether Wood ever got his Arabian horses or not, but I'm afraid that the cheriff of Mecca did not send them C". O. D. Wood evidently thought that Mecca was a county over there in Arabia, and that tbe chief magistrate with the similar sounding name was its sheriff and had charge of the county jail."

She Relented.

"No, George, I'm not going to take my shoes off." "You'd better, dearest." "No, I shan't. Just like as not the train will run off the track. What a place this is for a lady to sleep in Catch me taking off my shoes, nor any thing else tbis night. Why, anybody can come along her and pull these cur tains right back." "Why, dear, it is just as private here as in your own room. No one disturbs any one else on a sleeper. You know I traveled a great deal before we were married. Now come, pet, let me untie your shoes for you?" "You shan't, George. L-tell you I won't take my shoes off, and I won't, so there. I am jgoing to sit np here and lean against this, pillow and look out the window all night, and I'll be already dressed for breakfast in the morning. You can sleep down there if you want to." He argued, reasoned entreated, and commanded, but the six-hour bride remained firm, and it was evident that a dark cloud was on the face of the young honeymoon The last thing we heard before going to bed was the begin ning of what he said was his last appeal. We didn't hear the end of it, but Woke up next morning and found all quiet in the next berth. All the passengers were up, and tbe porter had their beds metamorphosed into seats, but still the bridal couple slept. Finally they were roused by the conductor, and after forty minutes of floundering in the lower bunk, and frequent whispered inquiries for sundry missing articles, conspicuous among which was '*my other shoes," there appeared a plump little woman with frowsy hair and a pBir of pretty blushes, which deepened and widened surprisingly as she met the gaze of her fellow passengers. It was now apparent that she had at last relented.

In Phoenix Park.

The main driveway of Phoenix park, Dublin, on which Lord Cavendish and Under Secretary Burke were murdered, is now more carefully patrolled than ever. In addition to its force of foot constables, mounted policemen ride through the park at frequent intervals. The spot where Caxendish fell and where the body of Burke was found are marked by excavations in the ground, caused by curiosity-seekers digging a little of the ana

earth now it away to

again, and taking

show their friends. In all probability these excavations have been repeatedly filled, but the hunters for "souvenirs" never think of that, and the little Irish girls who peddle fruit near the scene never trouble themselves with volunteering such information, bat merely describe where and how the victims dropped, hoping to make a sale of fruit it they do not get a sixpence or a penny for the information they impart. The famous car of "Skin-the-Goat," in which the assassins drove to the park, has been sent to the russand colleetion in the "chamber of horrors," at London.

Another Trifonte to John, London Truth. I hear that the queen has decided to close the rooms at Windsor Castle which were occupied by John Brown during the last few years of his life, and they are to be permanently shut up as a sort of tribute to the memory of "the Highlander." It is_ intended to place a large brass plate in his sitting room, which will bear an inscription recording his viitues and deploring his loss.

Thirty-two cases developed altogether, and of these ten proved fatal, eight deaths occurring hi ,he children's asylum and two in the nursery. The disease has been got well under control, and iB fast diminishing. It is possible that it may be stamped out without further loss of life. Every effort is being made by the physicians to prevent its further spread, and tp cure those who are now prostrated by it.

Hair Vigor

restores, with, the gloss and .freshness of youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich brown color, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use light or red hair may be darkened, thin hair thickened, and baldness often, though not alw&ys, cured.

It checks falling of the hair, and stimulates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and heals nearly every disease peculiar to the scalp. As a Ladles' Hair Dressing, the VIGOR is unequalled it contains neither oil nor dye, renders tjio hair soft, glossy, and silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate, agreeable, and lasting perfume.

MR. C. P. BRICHER writes from Kirby, O., July 3,1882: Last fall my hair commenced falling out, and in a short time 1 became nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of AVER'8 HAIR VIGOR, which stopped the fatilng of the hair, aud started anew growth. I have now a full head of hair growing vigorously, and am convinced that but for the use of your preparation 1 should have been entirely bald."

J. W. BoWEJf, proprietor of the McArthur (Ohio) Enquirer, says "AVER'S HAIR VIGOR is a most excellent preparation for the hair. I speak of it from my own experience. Its use promotes the growth of new hair, and makes it glossy ana soft. The VIGOR IS also a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my knowledge has the preparation ever faueu to give entire satisfaction."

MR. ANGUS FAIRBAIRJJ, leader of the celebrated Fairbairu Family of Scottish Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass., Feb. 6, 1880: Ever since my hair began to give silvery evidence of the change which iieetmg time procureth, I have used AYER'S HAIR VIGOR, and so have been able to maintain an appearance of youtlifulness—a matter of considerable consequence to ministers, orators, actors, and in fact every one who lives in the eyes of the public."

MRS. O. A. PRESCOTT, writing from 18 Elm St., Charlestown, Mass., April 14, 1882, says Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair came off. It thinned very rapidly, and I was

CUIllUlCUCCUj ii* A*.w..v.. ..v was completely covered with sliort hair. It lias continued to grow, and is now as good as before it fell. I regularly used but one bottle of the VIGOR, but now use it occasionally as a dressing."

We have hundreds of similar testimonial* to the efficacy of AVER'S HAIR VIGOR. It needs but a trial to convince the most skeptical of its value.
