Terre Haute offers manufacturing industries unequalled inducements. Fuel is cheaper than in any city in the west, so cheap that flour is manufactured- at less eost for power than prevails anywhere else in the country. There are nine railroads leading into the city, making freight rates oheaper than for any oity Of its size in the west.

When the Ohio river spreads over the great expanse that 71 feet at Cin dnnatimeans, it is said an inch rise is equal to the volume of water in the river at the ordinary stage.

The rivers are falling but are leaving distress of the most appalling character as a result of the floods. There can not be too much done toward the relief of those whose suffering will be great for weeks to come.

The Louisville Associated Press agent has not this year afflcted us with any of his eloquent periods as be did last year. The Kentucky article of eloquence does not go down well in cold type it is best when mixed with that other Kentucky product....

The Cincinnati chamber of commerce has wisely taken steps to inaugurate a moyement to fill up the lower part of the city. This is what must be done to protect the city from the yearly damage by the floods. It is an undertaking that Boston found necessary, and that part of Boston is now the most delectable location in the city.

The Young Men's Republican club has undoubtedly started upon a prosperous and useful career for 1884. The attendance and the enthusiasm at the meetings, together with the rapid increase in the membership indicate a power for good in the campaign that will compare favorably with the services rendered by it to the party in

188°.

__________

The breach oi promise suit that Miss Fortescue, the actress, has brought against Lord Garmoyle, commonly called Gumboil, is destined to be the best advertising that has ever been done by a candidate for public favor. The suit will bring before the public all the details of the visits of the actress to young Gumboil's father's home, the house of a Lord Chancellor. Some one commenting on the case very patly says: Lord Gumboil is neither more nor less of an ass than the average son of the British peer, ancl no one would think of the stupid appearance he has made if he were plain Mr. Cairns. On the other hand Miss Fortescue would probably never have looked at the booby twice if he had been plain Mr. Cairns, and the pretense that her young affections have been injured by her failure to catch the future peer is very thin. It is hard to tell what the British jury will do with the case, but if the young woman gets damages it will not be the fault of the judtfb. The son of a lord chancellor is not likely to suffer injustice from the bench in England.

OXTK FUTURE.

In some circles, perhaps the favored few nearest the top, there is manifest a pleasant enthusiasm as the advantages, advances and prospects of Terre Haute are considered—the favored few it is said because even when enterprises of great extent and moment are set afoot the relative position of the masses are not affected suddenly or to a noticeable extent, even while the benefits are universal. Our city will grow as other cities have grown. There will be more rich and more poor—more to fill the churches and more to support the saloons—more children to overflow the always crowded schools and more to add to an already large number growing up in ignorance. A flourisning trade center attracts the workers and adventurers, the useful and useless. It is useless to anticipate that the increase in population ortooney will call for more or larger stows and shops quite periodically anew church or school house will be built. Also the police force will be strengthened, and the drain on tax payers by poverty and vice be increased.

It has not been the rule as yet in any large city that the measures for the amelioration of the lot of the poor, for the suppression of vice, for education and promotion of science have kept pace with the city's growth. Suddenly, as it were, it is discovered in the great cities that there are slumB where incredible poverty and degradation dwell, that the shadowsof churchspires fall over the wretched dwellings of those born to live and die as criminals, and that the air of palaces is poisoned by xne »liit:c odors from the crowded courts and allies—most true of what we call very old cities, but still similar conditions exist in those founded a few decades ago.

The character of the early settlers aff sets the future of the settlement*

for good or ill and the nature of a city's industries has much to do with its social conditions. In our planting we were favored and our growth shows no deterioration. Not many cities of the same size can excel nor many equal our own in its promise for meeting future demands. We have to consider not the elect to fortune but that large majority to whom the ways and means are always problems difficult of solution and yet they are the foundation on which popularity and greatness rest. In counting up our advantages as afield to attract a vast population, we have an extensive prairie on which the city extends to find no barriers. The natural drainage requires less than the usual artificial aids to insure the most important sanitary element. The building idea is firmly established in the general Terre Haute mind. Building societies flourish and multiply with surprising rapidity and comfortable, detached homes are possible for every steady, industrious man. The schools are supplemented by the public library, which will increase in extent and usefulness almost indefinite-, ly. Hospitals, asylums and institutions of learning are already established on abroad scale. What mills and factories we have are so secure in resources and credit as to be apsured.of rapid expansion in the future. But there is a field'which widens every year for gen erous and voluntary work, which will tax the will and intelligence of all the circles which unite to make the intelligent and public spirited class. The problems to work upon require the thought of the business, professional and educational orders. The development of our business interests is being quite well attended to by active men moved by self-interest and public zeal.

But there are interests outside of business. Two thousand children between 6 and 15 out of 6,200 are not attending school. Though many are at work, learning the most practical lessons, they are all losing much that, would make them more enlightened, useful, happy men and women. There is something in this for the large num ber interested in educational affairs to consider. There will be use for supplementary schools to teach both the original "R's" and technical studies schools that will help willing boys to learn more than the mechanical duties of an artisan or a tradesman. There will also be needed more than provision for the passing hour in following up the work already begun by liberal legacies and generous gifts for asylum and hospital—begun but not yet at the point to be left alone. Physicians and philanthropists have in those a field.

The regulation and curbing of the liquor traffic by methods best suited for our community is a subject for all to think upon. Plenty for all to do the stir of preparation need not be confined to business men neither is all improvement to be at tb expense of tax-payers and by public officials. Nor is the work of any public spirited man to be confined to his perfunctory duties as money-maker, teacher, preacher, doctor or lawyer. The voluntary work outside of these is what drives the mutual-benefit progression of a live city.

They are to pay ten roubles per month for board and lodging, and be at home before 9 o'clock the evening, under penalty of expulsion from the medical course. Many of the ladies protested at first against this apparent restriction put upon their liberty, but eventually moved into their new official quarters.

WISE AND OTHERWISE.

THE DEVIL.

Men don't believe In a devil now, as their fathers used to do They're forced the door of the broadest creed to let His Majesty through. There isn't a print of his cloven foot or a fiery dart from his bow To be found on earth or air to-day, for the world has voted so. But who is it mixing the fatal draught that palsies heart and brain, And loadq,the bier of each passing year with ten hundred thousand slain Who blights the bloom of the land to-day, with the fiery breath of hell. If the devil isn't and nover was? Won't somebody rise and- tell Who dogs the rteps of the tolling saint ana digs the pit for his feet? Who so ws the tares in the field of time wherever God sows his wheat? The devil is voted not to be, and of course the thing is true But who is doing the kind of work the devil alone shohld do? We are told he doesn't go about as a roaring lion now Bat whom shall we hold responsible for the everlasting row To be heard in church, in home, in state, to the earth's remotest bound, If the devil by a unanimous vote is nowhere to be found? Won't somebody step to the front forthwith, and make their bow and show How the frauds and crimes of a single day spring up? We want to know, The devil was fairly voted out, and, of course, the devil's gone, But simple people would like to know who carries his business on. —Allred J. Hough.

What He Was Afraid Of.

Lexington (Ky.) Letter In Jinclnnati Enquirer. I beta man here not long ago, a barrel of fiour, to go to the Orphan Asylum, that we had a hundred ladies in this town handsomer than Langtry. I was to write them in a Lexington newspaper, and the public was to decide who should pay for the barrel of flour. It was a drawn bet. I wrote out a list of an even hundred, with some introductory remarks, and handed it to an editor here. He looked at it and inquired if that was all of my list. I said yes, and to my disgust he said he would not publish that list for $100. I. wanted to know why, and he replied that he would get killed for it he amplified to the effect that his hide would be as full of thirty-two caliber holes before night as apiece of sheet iron at an exposition washer cutter. I told him I could certainly see nothing but compliment and gentlemanly gallantry in it, and was sure that nobody could be offended for having a name appear in such a connection. "Youdidntsee my idea," he said "they are not these that you have got that I am afraid of, but they are those that are left oat."

PASTOK AND PEOPLE.

"Conversion of the J&iler" the Babjeot of the Sunday 1 School Lesson To-Day.

THIS SUNDAY SCHOOL.

Iesson for Feb. 17—Subjects The Conversion of the Jailer—Acts xvi., 35-40.

It is a religion that stands by us in trouble and is a comforter that Christ has given to the world. This was demonstrated at Phillippi when Paul and Silas, the missionaries who first opened the way to Christianize Europe and the western world, were beaten and thrust into prison. The blood flowed from their wounds as they sat doubled up in the dark and dingy cell of the prison, their feet made fast in the stocks so they could not move. They did not curse their ill luck, nor did they mourn over what had happened. They had implicit faith in their Lord and Master, and so great was this that they could forget their surroundings and sing songs of praise. It was a surprise to the other prisoners to see these men who had been so abused still happy and faithful to their religion. It was not so with them.

Their heathan gods did not help them in their times of need. But while all this was transpiring there came another surprise. Suddenly at midnight there came a great earthquake the solid ground trembled and the walls of the prison shook the great doors swung open, and there was a way to liberty, yet no one stirred.

The keeper of the prison waked suddenly from bis sleep and, seeing the doors open, supposed, of course, all his prisoners were gon e. He knew that he would be cruelly punished and put to death for letting them escape. He seized his sword and was about to kill himself, when Paul called aloud to tell him that all the prisoners were still there. The jailer could hardly believe it, but he called for t, hts and sprang into the prison. The prisoners were there, Paul and Silars were undisturbed by the earthquake. To them the jailer turned. He had heard of their manifestation of supernatural power in the the cure of the insane woman the day before. The people were everywhere talking about the work of these strangers. They had been beaten and put in prison, yet they were hapoy. And now with an earthqu ke following, which they did not fear, he began to think their unknown God had come to their aid, and was responsible for this manifestation of divine wrath. These pagans were superstitious and believed in the wrath of their gods. It was natural that they should readily believe the earthquake a manifestation'of the God Paul and Silas worshipped

The jai'er turned to the missionaries who had been persecuted. They alone were calm and without fear. To them he turned to know what he should do to be saved. They told him to believe in the Lord J^sus Christ. Paul did not Btop to add creeds nor to speak of the church. He spoke only of Christ. The jailer was to believe on him, the Christ that saved them, the Christ that helped them to bear such persecution as theirs and not to grow sad. And he did believe, not so much in the his toric Christ or his miracles, not the Christ of Calvary nor the Christ of the prophecies, but-the Christ of Paul and Silas, the Christ that saved them, the power that had delivered them from this dingy jail. It was a faith in their faith more than anything else. The man believed, and he at once began his Christian work of ministering to theic needs. He took them into his own house and washed their wounds, and cared for them JuAttrtinguishqd guests and dear frienSJHbr than as prisoners.

When the magistrate learned that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens they were frightened, fo± it was against the law to strike a Roman, and snould the Roman governor hear what they had done he would put them to death. They therefore were anxious that the missionaries be got rid of as soon as possible. They begged the men who had been beaten to go sway and there would be no trial. But Paul was not. desirous of escaping any just punishment. He was ready for trial, but he was never brought to trial. They went to the house of Lydia and talbtid to the little company of believers, encouraging them to always trust in the Lord.

It was the faith of these missionaries that encouraged faith in others, and it is the faith of the christian to-day that will save.

The Kev. W. A. Paige Declines.

The trustees of the Central Presbyterian church have received a letter from the Rev. W. A. Paige, of Leavenworth, Kan., in which he declines the call to Centenary pulpit.

THE CAKP FIRE.

Story From McElroy's Ander villa Other Soldier D&tters.

From McElroy's indersonrllle. One of the conmonest of sights was to see men, whole hands and feet were simply rotting cff. The nights were frequently so edd that ice, a quarter of an inch thick farmed on the water, The naked frones of starving men were poorly cilculated to withstand this frosty rigor, and thousands had their extremities so badly frozen as to destroy the lift in those parts, and induce a rotting of the tissues by a dry gangrene. Tie rotted flesh frequently remained it its place for along time —a loathsomebut painless mass, that gradually slotghed off, leaving the sinews that pased through it, to stand out like shiningwhite cords.

While this vas, in some respects, less terrible tLan the hospital gan grene, at Andenonville, it was more generally diffuse! and dreadful to the last degree. Thi rebel surgeons at Florence did not follow the habit of those at Andemnville, and try to check the disease by wholesale amputation, but simpl/ let it run its course, and thousands finally carried their putrified limbs through our line when the Confederacy broke up in the spring to be treated by our surgeons.

I had been in prison but a little while when a vdee called out from a hole in the grojnd, as I was passing: "S-a-y, sergeant! won't you please take these shears and cut my toes off?" "What?" said in amazement, stopping in front of the "dug-out." "Just take these shears, won't you, and cut my toes «ff?" answered the in mate, an Indianainfantry man, hold ing up a pair of dull Bhears in his hand, and elevating a foot for me to look at.

I examined the latter carefully. All the flesh of the tots, except little pads at the ends had rotted off, leaving the bones as cleanas if scraped. The little tendors still remained and held the bones to their places, but this seemed to hurt the rest of the feet and annoy the man. "You'd better let one of the rebel doctors see this," I aid, after finishing my survey, "before you conclude to have them off. Maybe they can be saved." "No! d—d if I'mjjoing to have any of them rebel butcmrs fooling around me. I'd die first, ara then I wouldn't," was the reply. "You can do it better than they can. Its just a little snip. Just try it. "I don't like toi" I responded "I might lame you for life, and make you lots of trouble." "Oh, bother! wBat business is that of yours? They're my toes, and' I want 'em off. They hurt me so I can't sleep. Come now, take the shears and cut em off."

I yielded, and taking the shears, snipped one tenden after another, close to the foot, and

in a

few seconds had

the whole ten toes lying in a heap at the bottom of the dug-out. I picked them up and handed them to their owner, who gazed at them complacently, and remarked: "Well, I'm darned glad they're off. I won't be bothered with corns any more. I flatter myself.

Jeff Davis' Words Proved a Lie*

Comrade Jim Johnson, of Rockville, at the unveiling of the Morton statuette, Thursday night, made a short address that fired the old soldiers' hearts. Jeff Davis, in the Mexican war, said that Indiana soldiers wouldn't fight. When the old Eleventh Indiana was formed, Lew Wallace made them kneel down in the state house square, at Indianapolis, and, with uplifted hands, dfrear that they would wipe the vile slander out. The war had been fought, and every soldier and every citizen knew what the verdict was regarding Indiana soldiers. The comrade said he would like to see Jeff Davis now, and whisper in the ear of that old arch traitor, and aBk him what he thought of Indiana soldiers now. It would do the comrade good, he was sure it would do the others good.

Indiana Soldiery.

When the war broke out Indiana had a population of iabout 1',400,000. Out of this number 208,000 went into the war, or two voters out of every three. No state in the Union can show as good a record. The Indiana soldiers were found in the first and last battles of the war. The graves of Indiana soldiers can be found on every battlefield of the south '-they died in every rebel prison. Tho people of Indiana, when the war broke out, were purely an agricultural people. They knew nothing of war, but they proved that a citizen soldiery is the best. If, the state could furnish (and it did furnish) 208,000 soldiers in the 60's, now in the 80'b it could turn out 300,000 men, all equally as good.

AYER'S

Cheri^PeetxJral.

No otlier complaints are so insidious in thelt attack as those affecting the throat and lungi: none so trifled with by the majority of sufferers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifling or unconscious exposure, is often hut the beginning of a fatal sickness. Ayer's Chebbv Pectoral has well proven its efficacy in a forty years' fight with throat and lung diseases, and should be taken in all cases without delay.

A Terrible Cough Cured.

"In 18571 took a severe oold, which affected my lungs. I had a terrible coughjand passed night alter night without sleep. The doctors gave me up. I tried AVer's ChkhAy Pectoral, which relieved my lungs, induced sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary for the recovery of my strength. By the continued use of the Pectoral a permanent cure was effected. I am now Si years old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied your Cherry Pectoral saved me.

LEAVE YOUR MEASURE I SHIRTS

Iodide of Potassium Is one of the strongest of the minerals used in medicine, and has produced much suffering in the world. Taken for along time ana in 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 yon a safe, sure, prompt and permanent relief from your troubles. Swift's Specific is entirely a vegetable preparation. and it is easy to convince you of its merit.

I have cured permanently Bloo'd Taint in the third generation by the use of Swift's Specific, after I had most signally failed with Mercury and Potash.

When announcement was made last Fall that we intended to close up our business, such was our honest intention. But having spent considerable money to establish a trade here, and our business being WELL ESTABLISHED, and believing that Terre Haute is on the eve of a great commercial boom, we have after giving the subject much thought determined to remain in the Dry Goods business in this city. Our relations with the public have been so pleasant that we have reason to believe this announcement will be received with as much pleasure as it affords us to stay.
