Terre Haute offers manufacturing Industries unequalled inducements. Fuel ts cheaper than In any city In the west, so jheap that flour Is manufactured at less jost 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 fits size in the west.

The Board of Trade is organized. It is a success, and Terre Haute is the most promising city in the west.

P. S.—This is not gush.

The Gazette makes a sort of an apology for the blundering associated press dispatch sent from that office regarding the formation of aBoard of Trade here and offers as an excuse that the facts were not correctly known In that office. This is nothing new.

The Cincinnati newspapers make very plausible arguments in support of the claim that in the holding of the Opera Festival during the flood there is nothing ineonsistent. But in spite of the force of these arguments we can not help remembering that the despatches from that city report great suffering and also that contributions are not being made as freely as a year ago, The Opera Festival means many thousand of dollars expended for pleasure Let us hear no more about scant funds for relief or less about the grand sue cess of the festival.

While the business men were harmoniously completing the organiza tion of our promising Board of Trade they took time to start auspiciously the Relief Fund to aid the sufferers from the Ohio flood. The event is a happy omen for the new enterprise. All the movements of this year, thus far, have gone with a lively spring, Our city must put the cap sheaf on by the golden gleanings of this week. It will send a noble contribution to feed the starving, clothe the naked and cheer the despariog who to-day see the horrible turbid flood rolling over every dollar they own in the world.

JudgeShepard, of Chicago, has rendered a decision that is likely to check the divorce business in Illinois courts. He maintains that they have no jurisdiction In divorce cases where a wife or husband residing In that state seeks a divorce from a husbaLd or a wife residing in another state, unless the offense complained of was committed in Illinois, or while both parties resided there.—rindianapolis Journal.

Now we want Judge Shepard to move to Indiana, become a judge, and render alike decision, a".d we would always look upon him as good Samaritan. If he Will uim to Terre Haute, where the evils of divorce laws are more pronounced than in any place in the United States, the Express will assure him of its support for the judgeship. If the laws of Indiana will not bear the construction put upon the Illinois statutes—why then a point can be strained.

DKIVE THE GOOD WOBK! The vigorous and successful beginning, last night, of the Relief work by the citizens of Terre Haute, is a promise that Terre Haute will excel any of her many previous charities. It is right that it should be so when such terrible, woeful suffering appeals to every charitable souL The Express takes the liberty of presenting a plaa of operations that will secure the cooperation and assistance of every house holder in the city, feeling confident that the effioient committee will if possible improve upon it. There should be a sweeping canvas of the city on a fixed day, say next Monday The people should be thoroughly prepared for it by previous notification. Say that there should be distributed to-morrow and Sunday to every house, published in each paper of Saturday and Sunday and from all the pulpits the following notice:

TO A BABEXL OP FtOUB—FBOM THE WISow's MITE TO THK MERCHANTS CHEQUELet such or similar notice be scattered broadcast through the city, and hung up in the hotels. Many hundreds, who are not usually applied to, who cannot or will not send a little contribution to a public receiving office, wiil be gratified by an opportunity to give something quietly and unnoticed. The small expense of printing need not be considered. The Express will cheerfullp furnish gratis as many thousand bills as required.

There will be required large subcommittees, to furnish solicitors for every street and numerous wagons, to cover the ground fully. The committees can be secured easily, and no doubt, so can the teams, wagons and drivers, and beyond a doubt the wagons will get their loads. Let the good work go on in this or some better way Jr-io.

Our dispatches continue to darken the fearful picture of sorrow and suffering along the Ohio. Each foot, each inch added to the terrible flood meanB the sweeping away of more homes from hapless families, the swallowing up of houses, supplies and means of subsistence from impotent, helpless men, women and children. The fortunes of rich men crumble as solid {buildings melt in the tide—the scanty supplies standing between the poor and starvation and beggary disappear in the torrent. Far beyond the broad sweep of that bitter flood liesthe only hope for those whose all is beneath it. It lies here in this city, in all other cities secure from loss.

The efficient action by the business men last night is an earnest that the hearts of our people are pitiful. In fifteen minutes our generous citizens gave nearly as much as was raised a year ago for the same purpose, but we may raise four times as much. The need is greater. The present disaster falls upon pecple still suffering from the floods of last year. The rich are giving liberal gifts, and the poor, who feel most keenly the sorrow of the poor, will give their pittances. Everybody will give.

Improvements in Telegraphy. Oath's Correspondence. The improvements in telegraphy are of a very remarrkable and advancing nature. I understand that there are patents in existence by which four wires can have the activity not of eight or sixteen, but of thirty wires. I am also told that this country is now in a position to manufacture copper wire of pure copper, not of any composition, for about twenty-five cents a pound, and that it possesses eight times the conductive power of the iron wires, which constitute the aggregate of the existing company. This copper wire, I am told, is much slighter than the iron, opposes less resibtance to storms, is not so liable to be shaken down, and will ultimately replace iron. I bear that the composition metal used in the postal telegraph wire is not of much consequence for permanent use. I have been told that Air. Garrett is negotiating for the purchase of octoplex instruments, which are offered him for something like $2-V 000 to $30,000, and that they will make his four wires over the new route equal to aB many wires as the heaviest pole can carry.

A Comforting Theory.

A prominent doctor, of Oakland, Gal., says that the generation of gasses is geneially the cause of corpses turning over in the coffins, and adds that a body has been known to rise partly up, the head and shoulders bending up toward the middle of the body, from these circumstances.

Gen. Loring considers Gen. Gordon a very brave man, but thinks he will disappoint the English people, as he knows nothing of handling Egyptian troops. The only way to handle Egyptian troops in battle is to put some Englishmen behind them with Bharp bayonets.

Buried in the Briok Yard-

Fort Worth Gasette. J. Tom Wilson, of Terrell, owned a monkey, which died. Its body was placed In a ooffln, funeral notloes printed, and preparations made to bury It in the city cemetery. The people protested, and hinted shotguns, and Tom buried his ancestor In the back yard.

The "First lady."

Sunday Herald. According to the Philadelphia Record, the good people at Washington who are disputing about who shall be "first lady" are making great fools of themselves. In this country the first lady Is the most womanly woman. It doesn't matter whether she is at one end of the table or the other she is a queen wherever she may be.

A Pittsbnrgsr's Diseased ImaginationPittsburg Commercial Gazette.

M'DONAliD VISITS WASHINGTON

Indiana's Presidential Candidate Opposed to further Tariff Agitation. Washington Special.

Ex-Senator McDonald arrived here this morning, and had along conference with Senator Beck. He was heartily welcomed by his numerous senatorial

friendB,

and when he went

into the lobby of Willard's hotel about 7:30 this evening he was instantly surrounded by an active group of men anxious to have a word with so prominent a presidential candidate. McDonald is looking clear, strong, and robust. He will have the solid Indiana delegation in the next convention. It is not true that Hendricks will make any fight upon him. Hendricks will probably not return from Europe until everything relating to a Democratic nomination is settled. Hendricks does not relish going out of public notice, but before he wehtaway he had seen the futility of trying to do anything. It is understood that McDonald is here for the purpose of ad vising the Democratic leaders not to agitate the tariff question. Although he is a revenue reformer, he does not see any practical object to be gained by agitating the question at the present time. He thinks this whole question of tariff will settle itself within the next ten years. Manufactures are gradually passing into the south, and he believes that ultimately all the heavy manufacturing interests of this country will be in that section, where labor is cheaper. Pig-iron is now carried from Alabama to Cleveland. New England will have to give up her manufactures within a short time and go back to ship building and become the carriers of the southern section. It is this cheap southern competition which is at present embarrassing che manufacturers of the north. This fact and the absolute necessity of a foreign market for American manufacturers would force a revision of the tariff ultimately, and there would not be much object in attempting to anticipate too much, which will be brought about easily within the next five years,

THE BOVS IN BLUB.

The Number Who Served In the Late War and the Bounties Paid Them. Washington Dispatch.

The Secretary of war sent to the senate to-day, in reply to a resolution offered by Mr. Voorhees calling for information as to the number of soldiers who served one, two and three years, respectively, in the "Union army in the late war,the amount of bounty paid each class, and the approximate amount to be required to equalize the bounties of those who served in that war, a communication from the adjutant-general giving the information asked for, and copies of letters to congress in former years by the paymaster-general of the army setting forth the estimates of the amount to be required for the equalization of bounties. The adjutant-gen-eral's report gives the number of enlisted men who enlisted for the various periods as follows: Three years 2,090,804 Two years One year Nine months Eight months Six months Four months One hundred days Three months Sixty days 2,046

44,400

391,752 875,881 378 20,489 42 85,507 108,416

With respect to the information asked for in regard to bounties paid or the sum necessary to equalise the bounties of those who served the Adjutant General says it cannot be compiled from the records of bis office. He calls attention, however, to the estimates submitted to congress, by the paymaster general of the army in 1872, 1874, 1876, 1878 and 1880. The estimate submitted April 22, 1876, the paymaster general states that up to that date there had been paid in bounties to enlisted men $385,917,682, and the adjutant general states that since then there bave been paid in bounties $2,292,667, making the total bounties paid to the date of the communication $388,210,249 The first estimate of the amount required for the equalisation of bounties madejby the paymaster general is dated January 15, 1872. It is based on the provision of the bill then pending in congress to give each enlisted man, or if dead give to his heirsj a bounty at the rate of $S.33i per month for bis term of service. The paymaster gen eral estimated the cost at $137,275,105.

The Coming Baseo

Chicago News. The reports that come from Italy are all to the effect that Myron Whitney's son William gives promise of becoming a greater basso even than his father. It is sincerely hoped that he will put his splendid gifts to better use than his father has done. It is conceded, we believe, that Myron Whitney is the greatest basso of the present time in Europe his reputation is higher than it is in America. And yet he iB content to travel around in the barn-storming districts of this country as a member of a comic opera company which seems to have no higher am' bition than to be known as having originated in Boston. What Myron Whitney has always seemed to lack is good, horse-sense ambition. Unfortunately he is so much of a Yankee that as long as he has a good bed, plenty of victusls and a pine stick to whittle, he is perfectly contented, and doesn't care whether he ever gets above the place he now occupies as the basso of a peripatetic funny opera organization.

Saton and the Presidency Springfield Republican. -V I "Bill" Eaton, of Connecticut, gefa himself called mnpleasant names by Republican newspapers because he objected in the House of Representatives to the resolution in honor of Wendell Phillips. He thinks it would be just as improper to honor a man who called the Constitution a league with hell as it would be to vote for a resolution in honor of Jeff Davis. Mr. Eaton is a picturesque old Bourdon whose distinctions are often more entertaining than sonnd, but Connecticut newspapers apparently enjoy magnifying the old man. The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, by the way, nominates Mr. Eaton for President.

WOMEN WHO SMOKB.

Cigarettes and Their Patrons—A Growing Ties Praeticed in Private, Boston Globe. "That large ladycrossin' the street yonder is one of the greatest cigarette smokers you ever saw," remarked a Washington street offioer to a reporter yesterday. "You don't say so?" "It's a fact, and she's the daughter of a railroad president at that." "How do you know she indulges in cigarettes?" 'Cause I've seen her sittin' at her window nights puffin' away like an ingine gain' up grade. She always has the gas in her room turned down to a faint glimmer, but the gaslight from the street reflects right in her face. I've watched her many a time," "It don't eem possible," "Why, just drop into any cfgar store and get the points for yourself," and the reporter acting upon this suggestion entered one shortly afterward.

A member of the firm said: "It has long been notorious that tbe demimonde and sporting women use cigarettes to an alarming^ extent. There are only two of the fair sex who are bold enough to come into my store and purchase them. One is a pretty stylish-looking girl, and her companion dresses in widow's weedB. But you knowagreat many woment who smoke cigarettes, etc., dress like widows. All of my female customers among saleswomen and married ladies, who necessarily have to smoke on the sly, buy their smoking timber indirectly throngh male friends. One lady living at South End, who passes for a respectable member of society, is a confirmed victim of cigarettes. She uses up, on an average, three packages a week. Her husband is away from home a good share of the time, so she has an extended chance to indulge in her smoke unmolested."

Another dealer said: "Oh, y.es, I know of women, not otherwise fast, who smoke cigarettes. And I also know it is killing the roses in their cheeks, drying up their blood and turning the inside of their lungs inte a blackened reposity of nicotine. We don't encourage the sale of cigarettes to even able-bodied men. We would much prefer to sell them cigars, on which there is a larger profit. But the consumption of those graveyard promoters, as they have been termed, is increasing every year, out of ratio with the increase of population,|I sometimes think." "Do you know of ladies in good society who smoke?" "Well I know a few but the second greatest class of cigarette consumers is the ill-conditioned girls employed in shops and factories. Women, truely respectable are not habitual smokers. Their motto is 'not when I would, but when I can.' The fear of detection, no doubt, acts as a wholesome restraint among them." ^5

Dredging for the Galleys Sunk at Salamls. London Times.

The Arch

Geological

society at Ath

ens has decided to make researehes at the bottom of the sea in the Bay of Salamis, where the famous naval battle between the Greeks and Persians was fought. The water is not very deep in the bay. As the present state of technical science enables the society to adopt efficient means of investigation, and as the association possesses the neessary financial strength, it is hoped that the enterprise will succeed. Since the Greeks lost about fifty and the Persians nearly two hundred galleys, which have since been lying undisturbed at the bottom of the sea, it is thought that it may be possible to bring up some complete specimens! or at least portions of them, which may afford more accurate knowledge of the naval architecture of the old Hellenes and the Persians than can be gathered from their writings. The attempt is looked forward to with great interest.

The Providence Journal says Mrs. Whipple Folletfc, of Woonsocket, deaf mute, recently delivered a very earnest and thoughtful lecture to the deaf mutes of that city, her subject being "The Power or the Imagination."

POTASH

Iodide of Potassium Is one of the strongest of the minerals used in medi cine, and has produced much suffering In the world. Taken for along time and large doses, it dries up the gastric Juices, impairs digestion, the stomach refuses food, and the patient declines in health and weight. Persons with Blood or Skin Diseases should be careful how they take these mineral poisons, as In most instances the effect of them is to almost permanently Impair the constitution To take the place of these poisons we offer you a safe, sure, prompt and per manent relief from your troubles.
