The Gazette has made a discovery. It says the evening papers give the public the first information of all im portant happenings. After enumerating some of these items of news the Gazette adds, "and hundreds of other items are habitually evening paper items." We do not recall anything more accommodating than this "habit" of steamships that go down at sea and the "fire liend" to so time disasters that the evening newspapers may be the first to publish the news.

An observing and intelligent farmer living in this county tells an Express reporter that the county should spend more money on gravel roads and less on a court house. He is right. We need a court house, no doubt, and there is no question that we need better roads. But there is no need of spending a half million dollars or more for a court house. Half that amount will provide as good court house as we want. In fact, $250,000 will build a court house equal to the necessities of any county in the state. All above that amount is an expenditure for ornament that can be dispensed with. The common belief is that our court house is to cost less than $300,000. The fact is that by the time the it is ready for occupancy, the county will have incurred an expense of over a half million dollars. It is easy to deny that such is the fact, but all persons who know what Buch undertakings mean know that the figmes are not too big. The present contracts involve nearly $300,000, but they do not carry the building to completion they go no farther than the roof and the inside work with the furnishing ia yet to be contracted for. The point, therefore, is well taken that the county could better afford to cut off half the cost of the court house and spend considerable money in the improvement of the county roads. Better roads mean

increased prosperity for the farmer and the people of Terre Haute, whereas a costly court house means a debt for the next generation to pay and building whose cost has been mostly ler ornament..

Mr. Morrison says there will be no letting down on the part of the free traders, pimply because the horizontal bill was beheaded. The author of that remarkable measure says the Democratic party will go into the campaign of 1884 with an emphatic resolution in favor of taxation for public purposes only. He maintains that the defeat of his bill was not accomplished by the true representatives of the Democratic party, and fhrnishfcs a correspondent with an analysis ot the Democratic vote to show that the Democratic opposition did not represent the Democratic party. The analysis is as follows: "Twenty-three of the votes cast -in favor of striking out the enacting clause came from the three States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, neither of which has given an electoral vote to a Democratic candidate for president in twenty-five years. Four votes came from California and one from Connecticut. Each of

states having given their electoral vote to the Democratic candidate for president once in twenty-five years. There were five votes (counting Finerty as a Democrat), west ot the Ohio State line, and but four south of the Ohio river and the state of Maryland recorded in favor of the motion to strike out that muchboasted "pivotal state" of New York had traded us off again, and that the six Democratic votes from tba$ state cast against us would have given the revenue reformers a good working majority had tliey been thrown in our favor." Mr. Morrison is correct in his deduction, and we are glad that he is aiding the Republicans in establishing the fact that the Democ/acy is opposed now, as it always has been, to protec tion for home industries.

A congressman told a correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal that the reason Congressman Lamb changed his position and voted with the free traders was because his constituency favored the Morrison bill. It is un doubtedly true that, this is correct as regards the Democrats in this congressional district. The Gazette, the organ of the party, is of that way of thinking although it merely hints at such being the fact.

For the last six months the Vigo Agricultural society has endeavored to free itself of the difficulties that surround it but after breasting the waves for months it seems no nearer a safe harbor than it was before. It may be well for the citizens of Vigo county to look back and see what class of fairs the Agricultural society has given for the last fifteen years or more Every fair, with one or two exceptions, has been a decided failure. They haye collected a small lot of live stock, a few potatoes, cabbage, pumpkins, corn, wheat, a few reapers and mowers, "fine art hall" containing fancy needle work, had a horse race or two, and called it a fair. It neither attracted the attention of the farmer or of the city people. The third county in the state, in point of wealth and population, had a fair that ranked with that of Clark county, Illinois. The society got in debt, the buildings went down, and at last it became evident that it must pay its debts, make a more attractive fair, or shut up shop. This state of affairs stared the society in the face, and it began to make a desperate struggle. At the last meeting of the society, held Saturday of last week, a committee appointed te confer with the county commissioners reported that the commissioners would lease the ground on the same terms as heretofore. This seemed to satisfy the members of the society, and a subscription was started to take stock and pay off the debt. Thirteen Bhares were taken, amounting to $325. Some stockholders refuse to increase their stock, and from the present outlook the debts will not be paid in this manner, and the only hope is that the county commissioners and city council will donate, as these two bodies will be petitioned to do.

The stockholders should remember what Greeley said about resumption— The only way to resume is to resume." The only way to make a good fair is to go to work and do it. A good fair would most assuredly be patronized by the people. It might be slimly attended for a year or two, but when confidence was once restored, then crowds would attend. A meeting of the society was set for yesterday, but it seems that the stockholders took so much interest in it that several of them went to the show, consequently there was no meeting.

INDIANA COAL,

Result of an Analysis Hade in the Laboratory of the State Geologist.

In view of the interest just now being taken in Indiana coal, a report of an analysis made in the laboratory of E. F. Cox, state geologist, in the year 1876* will be of interest. Three samples were analyzed,as follows:

No. 1. Block coal, taken at random from a car load shipped from Brazil, Clay county, Ind.

No. 2. From Wilmington, 111., on the Chicago Alton R. R. Sample taken from the delivery at Chicago.

No. 3. Minonk coal, Jll., on the Illinois Central R. also taken from the delivery at Chicago.

No. 1 is an ordinary sample of block coal. No. 2 is glassy, jet black coking coal with specks and scales of pyrites. No. 3 is a very brilliant black coking coal which when broken shows numerous markings of sulphide of iron.

No. 1. Indiana block coal. Specific gravity, 1.285. A cubic foot weighs 80 31 pounds. Ash White 2.58 Fixed Carbon 56.50 Volatile Matter 32.50 Water 8.50

The iron is combined with 0.947 of sulphur, leaving 0.483 of sulphur combined with the other constituents of the ash and carbon. This coal contains 7,424 calculated heat units and one pound will convert 11.4 pounds of water from 0° C. (32° F.) into steam at 150° C. (302° F.)

No. 2, Wilmington coal. Specific gravity 1.248. A cubic foot weighs 78 pounds.

The total amount of sulphur in this coal, 4.74 per cent. Iron, 4.34 per cent. —9.298 of pyrites, this would be in excess of the sulphur so that all the iron does not exist as sulphide. The ash is composed of iron 4.34 per cent., silice 2.16 per cent.

This coal contains, by calculation, 6,762 units of heat. One pound will convert 10.4 pounds of water from 0° C. (32° P.) into steam at 150° C. (302° F.)

No. 3, Minonk coal. Specific gravity, 1.232 A cubic foot weighs 77 pounds.

This coal contains 6,756 calculated heat units. One pound will convert 10.3 pounds of water from 0° C. (32° F.) into steam at 150° C. (302° F.) From this it will be seen that one ton of the block coal will convert into steam from 0° C. (32° F.) to 150° C. (320° F.) 22,800 pounds of water, while the Illinois coals will only convert into steam, under the same conditions, 20,800 pounds a difference of 2,000 pounds in favor of the block coal, or nearly eight barrels.

In addition to the superior heat producing properties of this block coal it contains :i minimum quantity of sulphur ar.d ash, while the other coals analyzed contain these injurious diluents in great excess. It is unnecessary to dwell upon the injurious effect which sulphur from coal exerts upon boilers, grate bars and like places where it is used for generating steam, for this known to all intelligent engine drivers. The ash of the Illinois coals also gives great trouble, as it soon fuses into clinkers and impedes the combustion of a good fire.

On passenger trains using such coals much inconvenience is also experienced by the passengers, who are compelled to inhale the sulphurous fumes which escape from the smoke stack and are wafted back into the coaches by the motion of the train.

No inconsiderable part of the commercial value of a coal depends upon its strength and resistance to atmospheric agencies which cause it to crumble and waste when stocked. In this respect again the block coal will endure stocking for years without deteriora tion or loss from crumbling, while the Illinois coals will crumble into dust from the decomposion of sulphide of iron which it contains in large quantities.

BAIjUOONING POSSIBILITIES,

Mr. Edison Tells When Electricity Will Help.Us Navigate the Air. Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette.

"Will electricity ever help us to navigate the air "Yes, whence can get five or six times more power per pound of weight than we now get from the best

formB

of small engines. Electricity has not done that yet. Here is the problem." tapping his knee stoutly with his fist

We want to get electricity from coal direct without the intervention of boi ler and engine. A good many people are at work on it, too, I tell you," said the famous inventor, Tom Edison, to day.

You are not?" Ah, I won't say yet! I won't say even that there is any probability about it—we don't see our way at all to it but I will saj it is Burely possible. Zinc and other metal we can get into electricity at once, but the trouble is to do that with coal and carbon. If we could, we could get six horse power from one pound of coal, while with the boiler and steam-engine we get only one-horse power from three pounds of .coal. We can't transmit directly the power of carbon. If we could the ocean steamship could have all of her boilerroom and a great part of her coal-bunk-ers of caTgo, while the motive power would not occupy more than half the room at present devoted to the heavy engines. Enormous sums' would be saved on construction and the cost of running would be greatly reduced." "Cannot you get power enough by chemical electricity to run electrie engines "Certainly-~get all we want and utilize it." *A: fj "Only?" ji 2^# "Only we can't feed our engines with money. In fact, it is money we want, and for that we want the power. Zinc is just as much a combustible in the battery or jar as coal is in the furnace. But coal develops seven times as much power as zinc, and* zinc costs thirtyfive times as much as coal, a difference in coat per pound of 245 to 1, or 24,500 percent." "But about the balloon ?u

Well, having lightness with power, we should only need enough balloon for actual lifting power, and we would attain a very high velocity. You could hold a ten-horse power motar in your hand, and once in the air, with five

pounds of coal, could the. consntnption be direct, the little jigger could go any where. Nobody would wand to ascend to great heights where the air's resistance to the propeller would decrease, but skim along over the trees and houses like a bird above the water. The rudders could all be worked, and your ballastless balloon could be raised or lowered, turned to ths right or left, by the motar itself, and a boy could do all the work. Such an arrangement could scarcely do for heavy freight, but it could carry passeDgersahd mail matter and express parcels, and move readily at eighty or one hundred miles an hour. If we can solve the power question we can do anything."

A Mysterious Disappearance. New York World. Before [the war this was known in New York as Anniversary week. Along about the first of May there came with the wet skies a cloud of strange people. There was a preliminary patter of big drops of Quakers with umbrellas. Then there was a rumble of anti slavery women and home missionary societies, and finally it began to rain black vests and white chokers Bteadily.

Anniversary Week was one of'the great social and moral events of the year. Thousands of strangers poured into the city. All the "organized instrumentalities" had their annual meetings here and read their annual reports. There was an Anti-Tobacco society, the Colonization society, the society for repoliBhing the Pyramids, and benpv-'^n'. leagues by the score. They tu.U

LIUW

much money had been

contributed^ how many miles it would Etretch out if placed in a straight line, and how much more they wanted to carry on the good work.- The papers gave up columns to the reports and to encouraging editorials on the benign statistics, and the public gave up their bedrooms to the multitudinous secretaries and orators.

Will somebody kindly inform us what has become of all this enginery of social reform

No one for a moment believes that the indomitable corresponding secretaries have lost their grip, or that the irrepressible female orators with blue cotton umbrellas have passed out of existence, or that the "organized instrumentalities" have shut up shop. No, all these forces are at worto

FBut

they make no sign. For some reason a radical change has taken place. The advance column of workers and talkers no longer wear black vests. They disguise themselves in tweed and unobtrusive but effectively .colored neckties. They meet in out-of-the-way places. The reporters are excluded. The papers are silent. Statistics give way to walking watches and great practical plans for

Dancing to Her Death.

New York World.

Miss Ella Campbell, the pretty six-tee"n-year-old daughter of Police Cap tain Campbell, of the First precinct died suddenly yesterday morning, while dancing at the celebration of the .tenth anniversary of the wedding Mr. and Mrs. George P. Jacobs.

When she left her home in the evening she was enjoying good health, and her parents say she had never been troubled with sickness before. At midnight she ate alight luncheon, and participated in every dance afterwards.

At the conclusion of the waltz she staggered towards her mother, who waB present, and placing her hand on her bosom, said that she felt very tired, She was led to a seat on a sofa. Her face turned deathly pale, and her head fell forward. A moan as if of pain escaped her lips, and she became uncoiv BCiouB.

In a moment the festivities

ceased. A young man was despatched for a physician. In ten minutes Dr. George W. Baker arrived, but Miss Campbell was dead in her mother arms.

It is thought that heart disease was the cause. When the police of the Fifth sub-precinct heard of Miss Campbell's death they telephoned to the police headquarters, and Captain Camp bell was notified. He arrived at the house at 3 o'clock yesterday morning.

The young lady was a favorite in society, and attended a select school on the Heights. She was to have been graduated shortly.

Alcohol. Not So iDjurioas to Men of-L/ittle Brains. Pall Mall Gazette.

Men of low intellectual endowment with a taste for strong drink will derive much comfort from the result of one of the latest experiments which the French Temperance society has been making on the alcoholization of pigs. The experiments, which were comm'enced in 1879 on a number of pigs of the so-called Anglo-Chinese breed, haye been continued ever since. Each pig was kept in a separate sty, but twice a day they were all fed together in an adjoining yard. Alcohol was mixed with heir food, and after each meal they all fell into a deep sleep, bnt showed no signs ol excitement, except now and then a slight muscular trembling. The difference of the effect of alcohol on human beings and pigs is believed to arise from the -smallness of a pig's brains, for the larger the brain the more dan
