Terre Haute offers manufacturing lniustrles unequalled Inducements. Fuel is cheaper than In any city in the west, so sheap 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 ot its size in the west.

The evidence as far as taken, at Indianapolis, in the investigation of the conduct of French, the superintendent of railway mail service for this district, is simply bringing to the surface a wellknown fact, that is that French has lost his usefulness because of the extreme disfavor in which he is held by almost every subordinate.

Loganspnrt Republicans desirous of emulating the good work of the young Republicans of Vigo county, held a meeting last night and organized a Young Men's Republican club. In announcing the meeting the newspapers of that city held up for emulation tbe club here as the model organization of the kind in the state.

Mr. King, of Louisiana, yesterday introduced in the house a bill appropriating $500,000 for the relief ot the sufferers from floods on the lower Mississippi. Up to date we have heard nothing about any suffering on the lower Mississippi. Neither have we heard of any movements organized in the sonth for the relief of sufferers elsewhere, and yet the south has frequently received of the charity of the people in the Ohio valley.

The southern Democrats at first tried to laugh down the investigations of the Danville and the Copiah murders. The "white gentlemen" came up smiling and flippantly told of "chastising" (murdering) colored voters. But being away from the associations which encourage "nigger killing," cross-ex-amination has brought them to consider their acts from another standpoint and they are now trying to exclude all evidence which tends to bring out the facts regarding the killing of colored men simply because "the black rascals were insolent."

A table has been prepared in Washington showing that illiteracy holdsthe balance of power in this country. In fourteen northern and all of the southern states illiteracy is with the majority. Only one voter in five in the southern states can write his name. Here are some of the figures which are calculated to astound those who have been thinking this the most enlightened nation on the face ot the globe: In the last presidential contest thirty states in the Union, with 298 electoral votes, were again within the domination of sovereigns who could not read the very charter of their liberties. The majorities which they gaye could have been overthrown by the combined vote of their illiterate voters, even if those majorities had been five times as great as they were. In 1876, sixty out of seventy-six senators, three-fifths of the whole, and 259 out of 292 representatives were in the

graBp

of illiteracy.

Evidently Bismarck is in a humor to have a quarrel with Uncle Sam. His organ said Germany will respond to any retaliatory legislation on the part of our government by counter reprisals, and now he returns to congress the resolutions of respect passed in honor of the memory of Herr Lasker and sent through the state department to that branch of the German legislative body of which Lasker was a member. Bismarck in returning the resolutions says Lasker was not a sufficiently important personage to be thus remembered. We don't know as the gouty prince is the one to determine such a matter under the circumstances, but if he wants a quarrel, that fact wiil make no difference in the real issue. If he thinks he will disturb our temper by returning the resolutions he is mistaken, because we are altogether too busy in this country to find time to wrangle with a chronic growler.

The Indianapolis Journal, always contending for the good of the people, is now waging war on the boorishness of a certain class of lawyers who resort to bulldozing methods for success in the trial of causes., A correspondent of the Journal, congratulating it on the stand it has taken, says: "An honest witness, embarrassed by his 'unaccustomed situation, finds himself

able to testify to some facts of prominence, but his memory fails to recall another fact In the same matter, of perhaps equal prominence. This Is the shyster's grand opportunity, and he loftily asks the witness, In a thundering tone of voice: 'How Is It that you can remember that so well, but you can't, it seems, remember this at' all, which might make'for our side? Now, sir, recollect you are on oath." The lawyer knows he himself could not answer such a question, nor any other man And yet he knows the fact is a very common mental phenomenon, which cannot be explained. One of the Judges of the supreme court of Illinois once remarked to me that when he was on the circuit bench he would never suffer such a ques tlon to be answered in any way. When' ever it was asked he would say to the witness: "Xhat is a question in mental phi losophy. You needn't reply to It

It is proposed that Congress enact a law copyrighting news, making it property for twenty four hours. At first blush the proposition seems to be a strained effort bat the more it is considered the more it seems reasonable and just. The modern daily newspaper is produced at a great expense for telegraphic and other exclusive news. The Associated Press tor instance is a corporation whose object is the mutual benefit of newspapers in supplying them by telegraph with news of all the current eventB of this country and the important news foreign lands. The Express and the Gazette are the Terre Haute newspapers of this association and pay a good price for the benefits conferred. In late years there has grown up a syBtem of piracy in furnishing news to the public. A firm in St. Louis or Chicago by procuring an early copy of morning paper is enabled to have reproduced in an hour all the vast amount of telegraphic information gathered by the associated press and special correspondents at a heavy cost This firm then has this news set up in type and many plates cast, and they are sent out on the same trains that carry the morning paper to the surrounding towns, where the plates are put into the forms of so-called daily newspapers and givon to the public as genuine telegraphic news to that paper, ItiB in this way that an evening newspaper here reproduces telegraph news which appeared in the moraing Express. It is a sham us well as a species of robbery. The proposed copyright law will not prevent the legitimate copying of news by one paper from another it makes news a property for twenty-four hours, and says the use of it by concurrent publications is stealing. And so it is.

Legislative measures are in progress for the federation of the Australasian colonies of Great Britain, a movement of considerable interest and significance. From what were once mere penal stations for transported felons have r,risen seven or eight colonies, any of which would make a respectable kingdom. The area of land included by them is greater than that of the United States, though not of the same uniform excellence. It is not an un reasonable dream of Australian statesmen that this vast southern federation will rapidlyrise to a population of fifty millions. With wise foresight they desire to embrace in the confederation not only the Australian colonies, New Zealand, and Tasmania, but hundreds of Pacific islands that might fall into the control of rival commercial and political powers. The United States has a very direct interest in this prospective en.pire, though it is not yet very practically demonstrated. There should be a great and growing trade between the countries and it will be facilitated by the completion of the Panama canal. If a p^rt of tbe energy wasted by tinkering with the tariff was expended on develop tng foreign commerce free-trade, and ariff would cease to agitate the distinguished souls who do not know what troubles them. It is asserted that there is over-produc-tion of manufactures in this country. Very likely—so there is in England and France. The cure is not by suppression but by discharge. We want markets and agents and depots in tfrem. If the money spent for pamphlets, legislation, influence, etc., to effect a change in tariff rates was used to send agents throughout the world with orders to each not to come home until he had made a customer for American product the agitator's occupation would be gone.

Chicago Tribune. A foreign prince, a "fashionable \icomte," and a plain, unvarnished gambler are suspected of complicity In the markedcard conspiracy of the Petit Cercle In the Rue Koyale of Paris. About 1600,000 were stcured by the knaves. The club is the most exclusive coterie in the city, and the communlBts are making wagers that the scandals will be hushed up because of the great reputations to be compromised. The Parisian papers have leading editorials on the subject every day. v'p^ssw

AN OLD CLARK COUNTY PAPER.

The Marshall Telegraph of 1853 Furnishes Some Interesting Informatlon. Marshall Illinoisan.

We were recently presented with an old newspaper of this county, Ihe Marshall Telegraph, of September 10,1853, edited by Charles Summers and Jacob Zimmerman. This old paper furnishes some very interesting information of a local nature.

We find that the taxable property of the county in 1853 amounted to $1, 873,160, an increase from 1846 of $65,835, and an increase from 1852 of $626,616.

We learn from this paper that a Pacific railway was greatly needed to be constructed by the general government, and that a large meeting of public spirited citizens had been secretly held at Terre Haute to forward the project, at which Mr. W. D. Griswold presided, and C. H. Baily, jr., was secretary. The project was advocated by Col. Thompson, "the silver tongued," and by the late S. B. Gookins, and a committee to forward the «ame, consisting of R. W. Thompson, Samuel Crawford, J. O. Jones, S. B. Gookins and N. F. Cunningham was appointed.

An able article is copied from the New York Journal of Commerce, the then leading commercial paper of the country, discussing ways and

meanB

of

getting rid of the surplus accumulating in the Federal treasury, under the tariff for revenue only of 1846, by means of which consumers were contributing money to the Federal government not needed by it, and the Journal of Commerce proposed by the building of the Pacific railroad as a means of disposing of the accumulating surplus after the payment of the public debt incident upon the war with Mexico and the treaty of Guadalogue Hidalgo, by which our government paid Mexico fifteen millions of dollars for California, and New Mexico.

The journal then proposes that after the debt shall be paid off, which will be very soon necessary to dispose of the accumulating surplus and it discards internal improvements as a meanB of preventing a plethoria in the ublic treasury and recommends the uilding of the Pacific railroad as a means of disposing of the accumulating surplus.

The Wheat Supply

The Modern Miller for Februaiy estimates the population of the United States to have grown since the census of 1880 to 60,907,000, and on the basis of this increase of population argues that the country has already exported more wheat from the short crop of 1883 than it can afford, and hence that prices must continue to rise until the export stops. Two per cent- per an num for each ye&r of a decade is about as much as our increase of population from 1860 to 1880 authorizes us to expect, though if we estimate from 1870 only the gain becomeB 14,590,000 ten years on 38,558,000, which is about 3 per cent. An crease of 3 per cent, per annum on the population of 1880 would give us an increase of 6,018,480, making our present population 56,172,480. The Modern Miller, however, claims that there has been an excess of immigration from 1880 to 1884 over the rate prevailing in the previous four years of 1,856,937, which alleged excess seems confirmed by the official reports. This would carry our present population up to 58,029,417, if only the rate of increase from 1870 to 1880, plus the inci eased immigration, be taken as the standard. If, nowever, the accelerated rate of increase during the latter part of the last decade be taken as the standard, then adding the Modern Miller's estimate of increased immigration, the estimate of 60,000,000 for our present population ceases to present any demonstrable appearance oi being excessive.

The Modern Miller also computes that no wheat can come from the Pacific coast to the relief of the Atlantic until the New York price goes up to $1.45 per bushel, ana hence at any lower price the Pacific coast surplus cuts no more figure as a source of Atlantic coast supply than that of India,

'UNCLE DICK."

'V

Tbe Favorite Son of Illinois ai Been at His Home.

The Chicago Tribune of Saturday devoted a page to a sketch of "Uncle Dick" Oglesby. The article consisted of anecdotes and an interview with the ex-governor. The writer, speaking of the lecturing tour made by Oglesby when he returned trom his European trip, says: There is a little story connected with the lecture on the Holy Land, which is told by General Grant, and which is not for public inspection in the governor's stock of anecdotes. Grant tells it thus: "Oglesby was invited to deliver his lecture on the Holy Land in some Illinois town, and, consenting, was greeted with crowded 'audiences. He opened with the intention of giving a lecture of one hour in length, and started off with a little preliminary description of his adventures in Europe. At the end of two and a half hours he had not yet gotten out of Europe, and the audience was so deligbted that he had to promise to appear another night and give the Holy Land lecture. He appeared again this time to a still larger and more enthusiastic assembly, to whom as preliminary he spoke a little of what he saw among the Cossacks of western Europe and what he found among the ruins of Poland. He spoke till half-past 10, having commenced at 8, and then had to adjourn without having said a word of the Holy Land. Still a third appointment- was made the hall was crowded as before, and he commenced his journey by saying a little concerning Egypt, its wonderful antiquities, its pyramids, and its ruins. He became enthusiastic over his subject, and, after awhile, pulled out his watch and turned around to find out the hour. A look of profound astonishment came over his face as he glanced at the watch. Turning to a gentleman on the platform, "Well, here it is 11 o'clock, and I'll be damned if I have got to the Holy Land yet I"

HOW HE BECAME AN ABOLITIONIST.

"How was it, Governor, queried the visitor," "that you, a Zentuckian, became such a confirmed abolitionist?" "Well, for many reasons, but one of the principal ones came from a negro man called 'Uncle Tim.' He was a slave who had descended from my grandfather to my father, and was the only one in the family. My father died when I was a small boy, and we became embarrassed,and in order to divide up what little,there was left'Uncle Tim' had to be sold. I well remember him as he stood up on a box to be ready for the sale. He was a powerful man, iar above the average height, with a manly bearing, a fine face, and a skin black as ebony. He had always been very fond of us children, and I thought almost as much of him as if he had been my own father. "As he stood waiting he implored, with tears atreaming from his eyes, a brother of my father to buy him. That was impossible, and, observing his dejection and surmising its cause, I said:

TJncle Tim, I am going to work to earn money, and when I get enough I will buy you and set you free.' "His face lighted up with pride and pleasure as I said this, but which was immediately followed by a look of despair. He came down, lifted me up in his arms, and said sadly: Thanks, Marse Dick, you are a pore orphan, and won't never be rich enough to buy Uncle Tim.' He was sold, and being past his prime, only brought some $400. "I moved to Illinois in time I struggled I went back to Kentucky, and grew no richer. I used to see Uncle Tim occasionally, and I always assured him that some day I would buy him. He always seemed to listen to me gratefully, but apparently had no hope of my success. In 18491 went to California, and after much effort made a few thousand dollars, and then returned to the states. The first thini I did was to fulfill my promise. sent the Fmoney to my brother, and Uncle Tim was purchased. "I was standing in front of the porch of my brother's house some days later, when Uncle Tim came out of a piece of woods a little distance away and ap proached along a pathway. It was a striking picture—such as I never be fore nor since have witnessed. He was a giant in Btature his abundant gray hair was thrown back on his shoulders, his face was livid and ash en, reminding one of the statue of Moses by Michael Angelo. His countenance was aglow"—here Oglesby rose to his feet, and with expanded chest brought his upraised arm down with the sweep of a sledge-hammer, and continued—"and shone as if lighted by the very piesence of the Holy Ghost. When he caught sight of me he stopped, threw back his head, raised his arms far above him, and exclaimed, 'My God! my God! has the little orphan bov lived to buy and set me free!' "Then he put his arms about me and tried to lift me as in the old days, but he had grown too weak, and I had grown too large. 'You can't lift me anymore, Uncle Tim,' I said. 'No, he answered in a sad tone and then with on exulting tone he shouted, as he turned his face toward the sky Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I'se free!

The Miller thinks that not more than 25 per cent, of the crop of 1883 now remains in the fanners' hands, and though the visible supply is excessive, the actual crop is considerably more than 100,000,000 short of the crop of 1882. In short, the Miller thinks that our increase in population keeps so near to our wheat supply that a very well defined wolf may be seen prowlng around the front gate. 1

Senator Dolph's Dignity. Washington Special. Senator Dolph, of Oregon, has very enlarged views concerning the importance of his senatorial position. Last Tuesday night, at the president's reception, there was such along line of carriages, and such bad management of them, that some of the guests did not reach the White House until the hour for the close of the reception. Mr. Dolph got inside the White House grounds at 9:30. Here he found his carriage blocked so long that he became desperate. Sticking his head out of the window, he howled to the driver of the carriage in front of him: "Get out of the way. I am Senator Dolph, of Oregon."

The driver invited "Senator Dolph of Oregon" to go to Halifax. The senator, at this, got out in the rain and walked np to the occupants of the offending carriage to complain of the driver's impudence. The people politely told Dolph to mind his own visit. They belonged to Senator Palmer's party. They added in polite phraseology that it was a good thing to know enough to go in when it rains. The Oregon senator promptly retired. Palmer, who was in the second carriage in advance of Dolph, employed strategy, and finally broke the blockade of carriages. He beckoned to a policeman and explained to him that the president was waiting for him. This faithful officer passed Palmer's two carriages up ahead of every one else, while the unfortunate senator from Oregon never reached the White House at all.

An Illinois Politician.

Chicago News. Dave Littler, of Springfield, was in attendance upon the state central committee meeting yesterday, .and when, ever he spoke his voice could have been heard ten miles. Dave is one of your healthy, strapping, coarse, meaty politicians, who are always making bad breaks when they happen to get into good society. The last time Dave was in Washington he, of course, called upon President Arthur, and was received with dignified courtesy by that gentleman. "You've got mighty nice quarters here," said Dave, gawping around at the furniture and pictures and affecting an air of well-bred ease. "I don't know that I'd object to being President if I had money enough to keep up all this style." The President smiled good-naturedly and strove to conceal the embarrassment the unmannerly familiarity of his caller naturally occasioned him. Presently Dave's eagle eye rested upon an elegant bank of flowers which had been culled in the White HOUBC conservatory and covered a small table in the Presidential parlor. "Gosh!" cried Dave, throwing up his big red hands in astonishment "it must have cost a heap o' money to pay for them flowers!" President Arthur made no reply. He simply touched the callbell. A servant appeared. Have these flowers sent to this gentleman's room at Willard's hotel," said the President, blandly.

The Ante-Bellum Logan. In a recent interview, John B. Clark, relating reminiscences of congress twenty-five years or so ago, said: Kellogg, a brother of the Kellogg who was afterwards so prominent in Louisiana, was in congress at the time Logan and I were there. He came from one of the central districts [Peoria] Illinois. He was making a speech one day and Logan interrupted him. Kellogg said something severe. Logan retorted, calling the other a spaniel. Kellogg was a very large, heavy man. He drew a knife and started acrosB the floor toward Logan's seat, saving in a dignified way as he made his way over "Does my colleague call me a spaniel?" We kept our pistols then in the drawers of our desks. Logan pulled out his drawer, and, grasping his pistol, said: "Yes, I call you the biggest kind of a spaniel. I'm not big enough to handle you, but here's something that is!" The sergeant-at-arms got between them, and but for that one or the other would have been hurt. Logan said a heap of rough things. [This Kellogg was an ardent old doughface and Boon played out in congress, and then became a supporter of Andy Johnson, and was rewarded with a collectorship in Peoria, to the great dis gust of the Republicans.]

Population of Europe. In the latest issue of the -a-imanach de Gotha" the population of Europe is estimated to be composed as follows Norway has the smallest number of inhabitants to the kilometer with an area of about three-fifths of that of Germany, she has only a twenty-fifth of the population of the fatherland The fair sex is relatively most largely represented in Portugal, which has 1,084 females to every 1,000 male in habitants. Germany comes next with 1,029 women to every 1,000 men. In one of the smaller German states Waldeck, the proportion in this re spect even exceeds that of Portugal namely, 1,098 women to every 1,000 men, while in the neighboring principality of Schaamberg-Lippe the men nave the upper hand, there being 995 women to every 1,000men. The greatest surplusage of men is found in Greece, where to every 5,000 men there are only 900 women.

A Very Remarkable Class. The Philadelphia Press says: Longfellow's class in college was one of the most remarkable that ever graduated at Bowdoin. There were among them Nathaniel Hawthorne (who spelled his name Hathorne in college) Franklin Pierce, afterward president of the United States Jonathan Cilley, who was shot while a member of congress in a duel by Mr. Graves, of Kentucky George B. Cheever, a distinguished clergyman and author Stephen Longfellow, the eldest brother of the poet, rapidly rising in distinction at the bar when his earthly career was cut short by death John S. C. Abbott, a somewhat famous writer and James W. Bradbury, an able lawyer, who has been in the United States senate.

From a Biographical Sketch. Years ago Carpenter described the Alexander Stephens in this wise: "An empty coach halted at the treasury department, and Aleck Stephens got ont of it" The same joke was fitted to Bernhardt when in America, but it was original with Carpenter. In one of his great railway raits he turned to awe

THE MAGAZINES.

THE NORTH AMERICAN RBVIKW—For March is an unusually good number. Among the articles are the following: "Is Our Civilization Perishable," by Judge J. A. Jameson "Agricultural Politics in England," by Wm. E. Bear, editor of the Mark Lane Express "A Defenseless Seaboard," by General H. A. Smalley. "In The Story of Nomination," W. O. Stoddard recounts the hitherto unpublished history of the means by which the nomination of Abraham Lincoln for a second presidential term was brought about. Other articles are "Literary Resurrectionists,", by Charles P. Congdon: "How to Improve the Mississippi, by Robert S. Taylor and "The Constitutionality of Repudiation," by D.

pi

Blain

H. Chambelain and John 8. Wise. THE MANHATTAN for March is beautiful in its art and varied and entertaining in its literature. The leading article on "Dartmouth College," the Alma Mater of Webster and Choate, by B. B. Vallentine, is interesting and profusely illustrated with excellent cuts. Another well illustrated paper is "Rafting on the Alleghany," a breezy ana vivid description of that peculiar industry so little known to those not engaged in it, by William Willaid Howard. This article and the accompanying drawings are the result of a special expedition made for the magazine by the writer and artist last summer. Mr. Whitehouse, with the aid of some engravings, demonstrates that there is no Fingal and no Cave. At this moment when Egyptian affairs are attracting so much attention, timely is a paper by Pasha Loring, entitled "What will become of Egypt."

THE CURRENT. Mr. Wakeman's Chicago venture improves with each number and is certain to take a permanent place with the best literature of the day. Each week's issue is replete with good work, and of a character to give the magazine a regular place in one's allottment of time for reading.

HARPER'S MONTHLY.—It is difficult to find any fitting words for the oldtime favorite. It is as good as it was years ago, with the added improvement of the times. What more can be said? The marclj, number is fully up to the standard. », -..

The Hon. Wayne MacVeagh contributes to the March Centuiy a paper on "The Next Presidency," in which the ideal president is pictured, and ihe author ventures the opinion that the political party nominating the man who approaches nearest that ideal will be successful in the coming election. Anothec.impoitant essay in this forthcoming number of the Century discusses methods for the "Suppression of Pauperism." "The New Washington," both in its material and society aspects, is the subject of a richly illustrated paper in the March Century, written by one who is intimately acquainted with Washington life.

Henry M. Alden, the editor of Harper's Monthly, and George William Curtis, the editor of the Weekly, are paid $10,400 a year each.

AYEB'S CATHAKTIC PILLS O! .iircctly uiou these organs, and are especially designed to cure the diseases caused by tlieir derangement, including Constipation, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Headaclic, Dysentery and a host of other ailments, for all of which they area safe, sure, prompt, and pleasant remedy. The extensive use cf tlicse PILLS by eminent physicians in regular practice, shows unmistakably the estimation in which they are held by the medical profession.

These PILLS are compounded of vegetable substances only, and are absolutely free from calomel or any other injurious ingredient.

A Sufferer from Headache writes: "AVER'S PILLS are invaluable tome, and aro my constant companion. 1 have been a severe sufferer from Headache, and your PILLS are the only tiling I could look to for relief. One dose will quickly movo my bowels and free my head from pain. They aro the most effective and the easiest physio have ever found. It is a pleasure to me to speak in their praise, and I always do so when occasion offers.

"I have used AYER'P PILLS in numberless instances as recommended by you, and have never known tbem to fail to accomplish the desired result. We constantly keep them on band at our home, and prize them as a pleasant, safe, and reliable family medicine. FOK DYSPEPSIA they are invaluable.

J. T. HAVES."

Mexia, Texas, June 17,1882. The REV. FRANCIS B. HARLOWE, writing from Atlanta, 6a., says: "For some years past I have been subject to constipation, from which, in spite of tbe use of medicines of various kinds, I suffered increasing Inconvenience, until some months ago I began taking AVER'S PILLS. They have entirely corrected the costive habit, and have vastly improved my general health."

AVER'S CATHARTIC PILLS correct Irregularities of the bowels, stimulate the appetite and digestion, and by their prompt and thorough action give tone and vigor to the whole physical economy.

CANCER

The experience in tbe treatment ot Cancer with Swift's Speciflo (S. S. S.) would seem to warrant us in saying that it will cure this much dreaded scourge. Persons so afflicted are invited to correspond .with us.

I believe Swift's Speciflo has saved my life. I had virtually lost use of the upper part of my body and my arms from the poisonous effects of a large cancer on my neck, from which I haa Buffered for 20 years. S. 8. S. has relieved me of all soreness, and the poison Is being forced out of my system. I will soon be well.

W. R. ROBISON, Davlsboro, Ga.

Two months ago my attention was called to the case of a woman afflicted with a cancer on her shoulder at least 5 inches In circumference, angry, painful, and giving the patient no rest day or night for 8 months. 'I obtained a supply of Swift's Specific for her. She has taken 5 bottles, and the ulcer is entirely healed up, only a very small scab remaining, and her health is better than for 5 years past seems to be perfectly cured.

REV. JESSS H. CAMPBELL, Columbus, Qa.

I have seen remarkable results from the use of Swift's Specific on aeancer. A young man near here has been afflicted five years with the most angry looking eating cancer I ever saw, and was nearly dead. The first bottle made a wonderful change, and after five bottles were taken, he is nearly or quite well. It is truly wonderftil. ~M. F. CRUMLEY, M. D.,
