Terre Haute offers manufacturing industries unequalled inducements. Fuel ts cheaper than in any city in the west, so •heap that flour Is manufactured at less lost 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.

Ex-Assistant P. M. General Tyner has returned to Peru, his former home, and is announced as a probable candidate for congress.

Gen. Sickles who voted for Hancock in 1880 says he will vote for Logan, if nominated in 1884, and still retain his sympathies with the Democratic party.

The Newport Hoosier State, speaking of the handsome contribution of Terre Haute for the flood sufterers, says: "The Prairie city is charitable and full of sympathy for unfortunate and distressed people."

On a directory estimate the population of Indianapolis is placed at 88,000, and including the suburban settlements, 105,000. Next to Terre Haute, Indianapolis is the most prosperous and beautiful city in the state.

The success of the high license law in Illinois means encouragement for the movement in Indiana, and the next legislature will, we venture to predict, be elected to give this state this solution of the liquor question.

Congress has been in session nearly four months. None of the regular appropriation bills has been reported to the house. If the Democratic house doesn't move faster, the memberw will not be home in time to attend to the campaign.

Tte house of representatives was kept in session all of Monday night by the eflort of the Republican members to have read a bill the Democrats were trying to pass without its contents being made public. Aa usual there were episodes of personal disputes and a generally disgraceful session.

The evidence taker, by the senate committee has already developed the fact that the assassination of Prent Matthews was not the only political murder in Copiuh county during the past year. At least a dozen murders have been committed for political reasons, and in every instance the murdered man was a member of the Republican p?rly.

The Marshall Illinoisian calls attention to a misprinted sentenee in a recent issue of the Express, and remarks that the editor of this paper seems to have conflicting opinions as to the effect the Morrison bill will have upon the manufacturing interests of New England. The Express hastens to inform its esteemed contemporary that it has but one unconflicting and unfavorable idea of the Morrison bill, and to reproduce the original sentence: "The Morrison bill favors the manufacturing interests of New England to the extractive industries of the West." The placing of raw materials upon the free-list is more to the interest of manufacturers than to that of producers. Farther, it was said that 20 per cent, might be considered a small reduction. Supporters ot the bill, wishing to conciliate eastern Democrats, who are not all free traders, will urge that 20 per cent, reduction is a long way from free trade, but we repeat that 20 per cent, on imported manufactures means a great deal, means a big reduction to those mills that make less than 20 per cent, profit The Morrison bill is a two-faced bill that pretends to deal gently with conflicting interests, and yet if successful, it would cripple both the eastern manufacturers and the western miners and wool-growers.

The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette is making the point that the flood is not likely to be repeated in a century that the one now going away was the result of a peculiar combination of circumstances which is as improbable of recurrence as is the combination of three conditions that would inundate St Petersburg to such an extent that the calamity would be world-famous. This combination is first, extreme high tide second, a steady gale from the weBt third, a flood in the Neva. It has not happened for more than a century. The Cincinnati people hold that the circumstances that combined to canse the present flood form a more remarkafeie

ommntto

than pne to which

1

the Russian capital gives but little thought The Commercial-Gazette says:

Let us see what they are. The Ohio valley is subject to greater vicissitudes of climate than any other part of the world or like proportions. The variations recorded by the barometer and thermometer in this valley are wonderful. We have the cold of Canada and the heat of the gulf. Within forty days of this winter we have had a temperature twenty• degrees below, and sixty-five .degrees above zero. First we had a series of seven snow storms following each other with astonishing regularity and by thaws alternating with snowfalls the whole was massed in ice, and then came a speil that filled all the streams from their head waters to their months bank full, and soaked the ground everywhere to Its utmost capacity for absorption, leaving an immense reserve of snow in the mountains.

The moment arrived when we thought all fears of a flood, which had been generally entertained, bad passed away for the winter. The Ohio and its tributaries were carrying off the surplus waters in apparent safety. Then came suddenly a change, and live rain-storms descended upon the valley, succeeding the seven snow-storms as if by some mighty magic and the mischief was done. Such a combination had not taken place before In the history of civilization in this valley, covering nearly a century, and there are many chances to one that the like will not be seen again for a thousand years, no matter how much we may impoverish the soil by false teachings, resulting in bad forestry and agriculture.

The disseminators of news at Berlin are evidently bent on involving the United States in a quarrel with Germany. It will be remembered that the London Times correspondent was certain that the return, of the Lapker resolutions would cause the American eagle to screech with rage. Now a correspondent of the Paris News has discovered "that naturalized American citizens who return to Germany are again being subjected to military rule" and that the "German foreign office ignores United States Minister Sargent and conducts negotiations, directly with Washington." If Bismarck really intends to make us mad he can do so quickly by the practice of arresting and confining German-American citizens who revisit the fatherland. In the year 1878 there were over 300 such arrests. Some of the instances were of the most outrageous character, and our government very decidedly de manded the release of the captives, for whose arrest there was but the most trifling pretext that they had no ful filled that law which requires of every German citizen a stated amount of military service. Perhaps we were go ing beyond bounds in Bending resolu tions of condolence on the death of one who had been to the German gov ernment almost what Parnell is to the

British government, but we are invul nerable in our position regarding the persecution of American citizens. The German-American citizens who return to the fatherland do not go there for the purpose of opposing any law of the German government, or of inciting trouble. On the contrary, it is therule that the visit is made out of the love for the old home, and to bestow upon relatives some of the benefits of wealth acquired in this country. In the vear referred to these citizens were arrested without cause and at first the authorities refused to assign any cause when it was asked for by the representatives of our state department. The conduct of the German government was arbi trary in the extreme. If this course is to be again pursued, Bismarck has chosen the most certain means irri tating the American people.

When the floods subside manj will begin over again the struggle with pov erty and debt or to replace lost fortunes. Then, too, must begin definite protection against future disasters— measures by individuals, towns, stutes and nations. To the nation belongs the authority and power to comprehensively examine the great water-coursos and provide for suitable systems of protection against recurring calamities, There has, beyond dispute, b^en a sweeping, indiscriminate destruction of forests in this country and the fault is that it has been indiscriminate. It cannot be urged that the banks oi every stream should be left in primeval forest. It was necessary that millions of acres should be cleared and it is entirely safe to cut timber from other millions. The forests of Maine and Michigan, of Florida and Louisiana, have fallen or are falling without affecting the great rivers. But there are certain water courses and great ranges of forest land that interests of national importance require .material legislation. For instance, near the northern boundary of the United States in the Rocky mountain range, is a vast forest where the flora of California farms mingle with those of the interior and Atlantic states. Just beyond are lofty mountains whose melting snows feed the sources of three grand rivers, the Col umbia, the Taskatchewan and Missouri. The destruction of this foi est might cause not only entire loss of ir rigation to northern Montana but extend its effects to far distant states.

The Morrison diluted-freo-trader airily proposes to save timber where it needs saving, and where it does not need saving by giving the lumber trade to British America. There are many thousands who live by lumber, and there is timber in great abundance that can be cut, but the free-trader prefers the simple plan of buying in British America to the judicious arrangement of our own interests. The government has no necessity to stop every ax and saw, in the pine forests of Michigan, Maine and Georgia, by a horizontal 20 per cent reduction, to help the Ohio and Missi=sippi valley. Free timber from the quite accessible north would effectually shut out that from some of our own territory equally distant. Certain forestry laws and internal improvements are legitimate to governmental functions. The reforesting stripped areas can best be attended to by the states and communities whose pecuniary interests are to be by an ioervued product.

Live Men in Terre Haute.

Crawfordsville News. The business men of Terre Haute are organizing a board of trade. By this means they hope to give their cltv more prominence as a commercial center, and they say will insure their grain and flour men more justice in the markets. They have some live men in Terre Haute.

'•-iC: Seasonable Inference. Chicago News. The Illinois Supreme court has held that the Harper law, providing for uniform liquor license fee of 8500 for spirits and $150 for beer, is constitutional and valid. Now that the Rapubllcan party has done this much, and done it thoroughly, it is reasonable to infer that the temperance people of this state will not injure the chances of that party by popping up with temperance candidates to help defeat the Republicans at the next election.

The TJnoultured West. i\~"

New York World. A supercilious dramatic critic connected with the Boston Post turns up his nose at a piece of horrid drivel presented on tbe stage in his city under the name of "Princess Chuck." He apologize^ for its coarseness upon the ground that It was written for "the west," where, he alleges, the managers find most money now, and where shooting and ranting and slang are Intensely popular. Of .course the alleged play is distasteful to Boston. The learned critic tells us that there is such a difference between the sections In the matter of dramatic taste that when McCullough goes to Boston he Instructs his company not to rant or mouth. The robust actor, fresh from the wild west, modulates his voice, softens his tcnes and plays "The Gladiator" with his manly foot on the soft pedal, so to speak. This kind of hog-wash writing is very acceptable, no doubt, to the aesthetic Bostonese, but it seems that the plays that gather money in the west do well In Boston likewise. The western critics have condemned and forced from the stage drumas which have been receiv ed with great approval in the cultured east. The Ford boj play "Jesse James" In Bostonr but when they reach Illinois the city governments repress them. The contemptible ninnyhammer who imagines that all literary, dramatic and musical taste Is concentrated in Boston has a great deal to learn. Still it must be said, as an argument against the refinement and intelligence of the western people that the meretricious theatrical combl nation that has drawn most heavily upon them this season is the one organized in Boston by that distinguished son of Bos ton, John L. Sullivan.

Tom Ochiltree.

Modern Age for March. Prominent among notables at Washington may be mentioned Col. Tom Ochlitree, member of congress from Texas. No man has ever "said" more in a given time, no one has ever done more, to say nothing of having "done" Europe, Asia and Africa with America thrown in several times. No one has "ever cai ght so many fishes, ever killed so many reindeer, ever trapped so many beaver!" He has probably swam the Hellsepot oftener than Leander himself, and with better success, since he lives to tell the story! By Bome happy arrangement of the stars, he "is on the spot" at the precise moment that every event of importance takes place. He is probably the only man living who has declis-ed an invition to dine with the Prince of Wales upon the plea of a "previous engagement." He confessed to being a "little disappointed,'.' as well as the prince but, Ilfaur souffrir pour etre belle," says the French proverb, and to be distinguished also demands sacrifices.' It was more distinguished to decline, so he accepted the sacrifice and declined the invitation, On intimate terms with all the crowned heads of Furope, during his recent sojourn in Paris, he was "hand and glove" with the high officials, and consorted chiefly with the nobility within the sacred precincts of the Faubourg Saint Germain. His intercourse with august personages is marked by but one unhappy faux pa*. It iB reported that during a recent visit to Queen Victoria, persisting in singing "John Brown's Body"—in spite of the frantic pantomime of the American minister— the interview broke up in a panic. Naturally the idea of "John Brown's body" (her John Brown's) "a mouldering in the grave" was harrowing. It was a case of mistaken identity, but t'ie effects were fatal his star in that quarter has set. Iu the last campaign he nominated himself for congressman ran, ami "got thar." It is according to the eternal fitness of things that he represents a Texas district. There is a vastness an expansiveness, a longitude and latitude, as it were, about him, peculiarly fitted to represent that great state.'

United Action Demanded. Newport Hoosier Stato. The Rockville Republican came out la3t week in a strong editorial advocating the claims of Hon. James T. Johnston for congressional honors. If Mr. Johnston be fortunate in securing the nomination he can rest assured that old Vermillion will do a good part by him at the November election.

Wehope

to see a more harmonious convention this year than the one we had at Crawfordsville two years ago, and hope that the strongest man will nominated. If we cannot get our choice we will take somebody else's choice. We are willing to submit to the will of the majority. We want united action this time.

He Paralyzed the Commission. The Na'ional Republican says: An able official in one of the departments, whose place takes him outside the rude civil service-tests imposed upon certain public servants, had occasion the other day to handle a batch of papers relating to the competitive examinations. In passing that matter on, he indorsed the following upon the documents: "Respectfully referred to the Hon. Siv.' Cer.' Comm'n." It is said thatThoman gave a shriek when he Baw this, in cold manuscript, that caused the denizens of street northwest to turn out and hunt for the fire.

A Wbitmaniac.

The Norristown Herald says that Walt Whitman, speaking of American poetry, says: "Think of the absence and ignorance, in all cases hitherto, of the vast ensainble, multitudinousness, vitality and the unprecedented stimulants of to-day ana here." We frequently think of it. We sometimes wake up at midnight to think of it We also think of those things in all their multitudinoity in connection with the stimulants of yesterday and tbere.

TENNYSON'S LATEST POEM.

O faithful member of a faithful man! So earnest thou to do thy sovereigns will,

Nor hour normomenl ever found thee still— Bnt In tby sovereign's cause continually ran!

Down from the border of his highland cape Unto the sole that spurned the menial ground

It wandered stanch and huge and roand, Hearty in vigor and of comely shape. Lo, at the ankle, 'twaB so tiny and small

That any white and jeweled maiden hand Might with ltsflngersandlts thumb have spaned The ankle, with its shoe-top, sock and alL And thence It swelled with undulation fair

Up to the knee—a calf serene and white, Affording such a rare and pleasant sight. The queen regarded with complacent 8 tare. And at the knee we give a reverent pause,

For 'tis the knee whir.h she who wears the crown Hath in her volume tenderly set down As often scratched and scraped In Britain's cause.

Oh, that the sons of Britain each did own A kee so loyal and so strange to fear As to yield up It cuticle whene'er A thorn or cobblestone did fright the throne! And from this knee our queen esteems so high

That she has made it subject of a book We pass anon to reverently look Upon the ponderous beauties of the thigh.

But of the thigh's self-abnegating acts 'Tis not for me, a baron bard, to singNay, of this beauteous and mysterious thing 'Tis for our queen to give the bottom facts.

it

Alas", 'Lis dead—this'supple, loyal limb! Our sovereign's heart Is broken for its

And I,'the laureate, am commanded

Unto its blessed memory a hymn, Stop in thy whirl, O universe, I beg— Stop in thy blaze, O stars and haughty sun-

Stop peoples of the earths, while honor's done To this most patriotic gillie's leg!

JUSTICE WAITE'S DILEMMA.

Amusing Adventures of the Head of the Supreme Court. Washington Special.

Having an imperative engagement in Baltimore some time ago, Chief Justice Waite, of the Supreme court, hurried to the Baltimore & Ohio depot ten minutes before the train started. As he was about to purchase a ticket he discovered to his horror that he had only a few pennies in his pocket. He looked around for a friend, but, nding none, he resolved to use desperate measures. He filed up in the line to the ticket window. As he reached the agent he smiled an awful smile across the full width of his enormous mouth, and asked the ticket agent if he knew him. "No, don't," snarled the agent 'and what is more I don't want to. What do you want "I want a ticket to Baltimore and return. I am the chief justice of the Supreme court. I have no money with me. It is purely accidental. I can give you my personal check," replied the representative of justice.

Oh, I know you. I know all the bloods. But that dodge won't work on me. I have just had two members of the cabinet try to bilk me out of tickets, and no chief justice dodge gets me. Take your ugly mug out of the window and get out of the way of people who have money."

The chief justice glared. He coma uot fine young mra lor ooatwapt

of court* He felt worse thanif he had been a real fraud, and he blushed and erspired BO that the agent had his beief strengthened. The chief justice dashed out of the station to see if he could not find some one to identify him. He had only five minutes left. It was too Bhort a time to run to the capitol. He saw no one. Across the street there was a saloon and an eating house. The chief justice made a rush for the place, but Btopped at the door. Spying a private entrance, he rushed in and accosted the proprietor with the frantic inquiry of "Do you know me?" "Yer bet yer head I do, yer honor," Baid a short-haired, freckle-faced man behind the bar "ye are the boss of the shuprame coort I see ye ivery day going by here on the cars." "Will you cash my check? I have no time to explain." Here the justice grabbed a piece oi paper and a pen upon a desk near by, and began to write hurriedly. "Shure I will. I have seen old boys off on a tear before, get out of money. Trusht me, sorr. Is it a twenty ye want? Here it is. Will ye have a drop before ye run

But before any further explanation could be made the chief justice had grabbed the money and was running across the street In some way the ticket agent had learned of his blunder during the judge's absence, and was all politeness when he saw the money. Mr. Waite barely m.ide»the train, but he has not had such a shock to his dignity since he went upon the bench of the supreme court

EXCOMMUNICATED.

Peter W. Moore and Bis Newly Wedded Wife Declared Outside the Pale of the Cbnrch. Logansport Special.

One of the most sensational events that ever occurred in Catholic circles in this city took place at St Vincent de Paul church to-day, being the excommunication of a couple who had been recently married in violation of the laws of the Catholic church. The facts regarding the marriage are as followB Peter W. Moore, a liquor dealer of this city, who has a divorced wife living, was married a few days ago, at Chicago, to MissMollie Dolan, daughter of William Dolan, the owner of the opera house in this city. Both were Catholics, and both were anxious to be married in that church, but the priest in this city refused to marry them, as the church laws do not recognize divorces. Then the couple went to Chicago, attended church there, and finally, as it is alleged, by representing themselves as members of that parish, were married by a priest. Re turning here, the case was referred to Bishop Dwenger of Fort Wayne, who declared them excommunicated and the marriage null and void. The only means Mr. and Mrs. Moore now have of getting back into their church is by separation and asking the forgivnees of the congregation. While the bride has always been a faithful Catholic and tae groom has attended regularly, it is thought they will live together outside of the churoh.

NARROW ESCAPE

Of a Well Known Citizen of South Easton From a Horrible Death. Boston Herald.

A journalist whose meanderings in search of news led him into the thriving village of South Easton, yesterday, found the recent escape,of Mr. Caleb S. Lothrop of that place from death in one of its most horrible and repulsive forms to be a topic of general com ment. In reply to all inquiries for de tails, the reporter was invariably told: "Go and see his son William, up here at the shoe factory. He'll post you up.

Mr. William B. Lothrop, the gentleman alluded to, was found by the re porter in the factory of Messrs. Copeland & Hartwell, where, with rolled up sleeves, he was working manfully at his familiar bench. He greeted his visitor cordially, and expressed his willingness to furnish all the information in his power respecting his father's case. "Some ten years ago," said he, "a slight swelling manifested itself on the right side of my father's under lip. It Btarted like a blood blister, and kept increasing in size. Its progress was slow until within three yeare, when it grew more rapidly and finally spread out upon his cheek and upon his lip both outside and inside, extending downward to the gums., It cracked open and s[)lit out like a seed wart Several physicians were consulted, but they could afford no relief, and said that there was no hope of curing him —that the terrible cancer would spread until his face would be literally eaten off. You can imagine how such a horrible decision as this would effect a man's peace of mind. My father who is now 67 years old, was a hard-work-ing and industrious man, but about a year ago, so greatly had the prospect of death from a loathsome disease anected him, his mind began to fail, and we had to keep a almost constant watch upon him. He had become a burden to himself. The cancer emitted a most revolting stench, which permeated the entire house. "Well, this was about the condition of affairs when, about four months ago, I read in the Boston Herald an advertisement of Swift'B Specific (S. S. S.,) manufactured by the Swift Specific Co., of Atlanta, Ga. I saw that it was highly recommended for blosd diseases, and I sent for two bottles. Father tried one, and was not apparently much helped but the second had a marked effect, as the cancer immedi ately began to heal, and a healthier look appeared about the edges. We persisted in the treatment with Swift's Specific (S. S. S.,) and now, after using in all eight large bottles and four small ones, all that remains of the cancer is a small "root" not so large as a pea, which is itself steadily disappearing. Naturally, my father is greatly cheered by his improved condition. His general health is very &ood, and his mental troubles have been greatly alleviated. There is no doubt whatever that Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) is entitled to every particle of the credit for saving my father from a death most horrible to think of. I have BFoken highly of its virtues to all my neighbors, and I am glad to be of any use I can in spreading the good news."

The reporter stopped for a moment's conversation in the business office of the factory before leaving the building. Both members of the firm expressed -themselves as cognizant of the main circumstances of the case as above narrated. "There is no humbugabout it," said they. "Whatever Mr. Lothrop told you, you can rely upon." J_A

E. V. Ashton, a Bostonian, who died died at Tunbridge Wells, England, on January, 24, left over $600,000 to various charitable associations in hiB native city, though he had not lived there for years.

Idleness is the dead sea which swallows all virtues—the self-made sepulchre of a living man.

AYER'S PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases wUicu cause human suffering result from derangement of the stomach, bowels, and liver. AVEE'S CATHABTIC PILLS act directly upon these organs, and are especially designed to euro the diseases caused by their derangement, including Constipation, Indigestion, Dyspepsia. Headache, Dysentery, and a host of other ailments, for all of which they are a safe, sure, prompt, aud pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these 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: "ATEB'S PILLS are invaluable to me, and are my constant companion. I have been a severe sufferer from Headache, and your PILLS are the only thing I could look to for relief. One dose will quickly move my bowels and free my head from pain. They are the most effective and the easiest physio I Lave ever found. It is a pleasure to me to speak in their praise, and I always do so when occasion oners.

W. H. PAGE,of TV. L. Page & Bro." Franklin St., Richmond,Va., June 3,1882. "I have used AYER'S PILLS in NUMBER less instances as recommended by you, and have never known them to fall to accomplish the desired result. We constantly keep them on hand at our home, and prize them as a pleasant, safe, and reliable family medicine. FOB DYSPEPSIA they are invaluable.

"*T

J. T. HAYES."

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

AYER'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 the treatment of Cancer with Swift's Specific (S. 8.,8.1 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 Specific has saved my life I bad virtually lost use of the upper part of mv body and my arms from the poisonous effects of a large cancer on my neck, from which I had suffered for 20 years. S. S. 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, Davisboro, 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, end her health is better than for 5 years past seems to be perfectly cured.

REV. JESSE H. CAMPBELL, I Columbus, Ga.

I have seen remarkable results from the use of Swift's Specific on acancer. A young man near here has been afflicted five yeais 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
