LYON'S KOZOTHIUM.

BCTORCUSINQ. AFTER LIBlltQ* a OUT to THE GRAY. Lyon's Kozothium is not a djre, but a clear ftafltant oil, and acts purely as a tonic to the hair follicles and capillary circulation of the scalp, whereby it restores the natural action, and as a result restores ike natural color to the hair, leaving it soft and beautiful. Unlike all other so-called restoratives. It js entirely free from Sulphur, Nitrate Silver, and All noxious and deleterious chemicals. It Is an elejpsnt Hair Dressing, depositing no sediment upon 7th* scalp does not stain the skin, nor soil the most dsllcsle fabric. Address A. KIEFKB & GO.

fi tFrom a Well Known and Prominent 4 Clergyman. Shelbyville, Jane 12,1884.

Messrs. A. Kiefer & Co., Gentlemen: —A year or two since I began to lose my hair. A prescription from a bar1 bar temporarily checked it, bat after a brief time it again became to come out a

luring

again became dry and harsh, and Anally left the top of my head bare. 'My attention was called to your Cozothium. I was afraid to use it, dreading sulphur, lead or nitrate of jjilver. But matters were growing •worse daily, and the fly season was close at hand, so I procured a bottle of Kozothium. The result is an excellent crop of hair, and strange to say of its original color, soft and pliable, a clean ecalp and no irritation, and this on rtheneadofa man over fifty. I have 510 hesitation in saying it is the best liair restorer extant, and from trial I do not believe there is a particle of anything dangerous in it. Yours truly, Rbv. B. Mills

Both Mr. Johnston and Mr. Lamb will be in Parke county tbis week.

The elopement epidemic is on the decrease and the prudent parent may again allow the daughter to come out of her room to her meals.

Mr. Lamb after declining the challenge he had invited and issuing one of his own again assumes a very defiant air. We are afraid he is a very skillful dodger.

The fact that a Republican meeting in West Virginia waa broken np by a Democratic mob, and a Republican newspaper office in the same state "pied," is simply a hint of whst is to follow. Of course the south intends to remain solid at all hazards, but there is satisfaction in knowing that the Republican managers of the campaign have arranged to have men in very part of the south to eend notice of every act of violence and every attempt to deny the rights of free speech and free suffrage. If the Republican party is to be deprived of votes in the south by bulldozing then the information regarding all such outrages will be used to gain votes in the north. If that is waving the bloody shirt it is also a most righteous thing to do.

Torre Haute has bad a small pox scare. There were several cases in Prairietou in the game county, and one doath with several new cases reported yesterday. Fears are entertained that the dread disease will break out in Terre Haute.—[Crawfordsville Argus.

There has been no "scare" here. In fact the quick and commendable action of the authorities in the emergency has prevented alarm. The Indianapolis News of last evening had an item about the Prairieton cases and no doubt the report will soon be exaggerated by circulation throughout the state. There are no new cases and the six persons who were sick are doing well. There is not the slightefct prospect of the disease spreading and we trust our city will not be brought into public notice as a place where the dread disease is in epidemic form.

To the Editor of the Express. Sir The Hon. John E. Lamb, in his speech at Kiley said that he was a tariff man, and on the Morrison bill always voted with Major Calkins, our Republican candidate for governor, and other Republicans. I may be mistaken, but am under the firm impression that Lamb voted en the last and most important rote with the free-traders, such as

Carlisle and

Morrison, Bnd directly against the vote of Major Calkins. Please answer this through your papor and give the names of votes with Morrison, Lamb and free traders, and the votes of Itaudali, Calkins, and protective tariff

man. liEPOTUOAN. On May 0th Mr. Converse, a Demo cratic member of the house, om Ohio moved to strike out the enacting clause of the Morrison bill. On that motion 159 rotes were cast in the affirmative, and 155 in the negative. Of the 159 in the affirmative 118 were cast by Republicans and forty-one by Democrats. Among the Republicans were Browne, Calkins, Peelle and Steele, of this state, and Cannon of Illinois, Goff of West Virginia, Guenther of Wisconsin, Mckinley of Ohio, Kelley of Pennsylvania, Robinson of Ohio, and Wm. Walter Phelps of New Jersey. The fortyone Democrats were led by Randall of Penn, Finerty of Chicago, and Foran of Ohio. Of the 155 votes in the negatiee 152 were cast by Democrats and three by Republicans. Mr. Lamb voted with these Democrats, who were led by Morrison, Carlisle, Dorsheimer (Cleveland's friend and biographer), A. S. Hewitt, S. S. Cox, Kleiner, Matson, Springer, Rosecrans, Stockslager and Ward. These names, everyone knows, are those of ardent free traders, but they fell short four votes and the bill was killed.

Governor Cleveland arrived in Albany yesterday from Buffalo, the report says, "after a quiet trip." It is further reported that there was "no demonstration made upon his return." This is in strange contrast with the ovation that he received at Buffalo "from his neighbors and old friends," but happily the New York World, good Democratic authority, has furnished the public an explanation of the Buffalo reception which throws a great deal of light upon that event and •jives a reason for the disparity between the display at his home and the absence of enthusiasm at other places. Some time ago it was determined to send Cleveland to Buffalo and have a demonstration that would go to the country as a vindication of his character hy his neighbors. It was very generally understood upon gocd evidence that Buffalo had recanted its profession of faith in its former sheriff and mayor. It was therefore somewhat surprising to learn that so many people wera on the streets that even the American trait of curi. osity had brought out the crowds. But the World tells how all this was accomplished. Instead of the demonstration being in the nature of a spontaneous greeting from his neighbors, (the phase

Bought

to be given the occa

sion), it was mostly made up of clubs from other points and was really the resnlt of an order from the managers for the faithful at these places to go-to Buffalo, and do what apparently the committee had good reason to believe would not be done by the people of Buffalo, by Cleveland's neighbors. The dispatch to the World said that over fifty coaches were contracted for to be used on the New York Central road, another road brought 2,000 persons and "Niagara county was pnt on wheels and brought here (Buffalo) bodily." In other words people were

"pat on" the cars and sent into Buffa- ignorant lo, a city of 175,000 population, which, thus confessed, would not furnish evidence of its esteem for one of its citizens who happens to be a candidate for the presidency. We don't want to hear any more about the endorsement of Cleveland by his neighbors. 'A

Considered as a system of education, what is the purpose of the Kindergarten, and what its relation to the school This question can be briefly answered by saying that its purpose is to prepare the child for the school, for industrial pursuits and for social life.

It prepares for the school in several way*. The transition from the freedom of home to the restraint of school is a painful one to the child. It has little power of self-control, and when it passes directly from the home to the school and is required to conform to its laws in respect to quiet, order and attention the effort demanded of it is severe and painful. The kindergarten,through the greater freedom allowed in it and the power of self-control gradually acquired by its exercises, paves the way for this transition and makes it much easier.

It prepares for the school by giving discipline to the powers of observation and attention, which are the chief faculties employed in the primary school. The power of discrimination is sharpened and the ability to follow directions greatly increased. The child, also, learns many facts that will be of use to it in the primary school, and which must be learned there if not acquired before entering. It prepares both body and mind for the confinement and restraint of school. It prepares for industrial pursuits by the kind of knowledge and training it gives. There is a training of the eye and of the hand. Oiie great purpose is to bring the body under the control of the child's will, and habituate it to orderly, graceful and easy action. Habits of bodily control are readiiy acquired in early childhood. It has been said that the exclusive use of the left hand for a single week in the first year of a child's life will make it permanently left-handed, if the preference for the left hand is thus established is permitted free exercise. The different "gifts" (as they are called) employed by the kindergarten as instrumentalities for education are intended to awaken to orderly activity the various powers of mind that go far toward shaping the subsequent tendencies and life of the child. The kindergarten recognizes the power of the influences of the first few years and seeks to make them influences for good. The kindergarten also prepares for social life by training the children to observe the conventionalities of polite society. What is becoming and appropriate in their intercourse with one another they learn and practice here. It is a mistake to call the exercises of the kindergarten play. They have some of the appearancs of play and theie is a degree of freedom from restraint in the execution of directions given that adds an element of play to some of these exercises. But the child is constantly working to some end under the direction of the teacher. It plays when it follows its own inclination or caprice. There is not much of this in a kindergarten.

The above is a very general and incomplete statement of some of the relations of a kindergarten training to the child's ,future life. It has been made for the purpose of calling the attention of the parents of small children who may read it, to this subject and of inviting them to become acquainted with this new element that is now being introduced into our"system of education. It is believed by many that the time is not distant when t.ho first year of our primary school (from 6 to 7 years of age) will be given to kindergarten training as a preparation for the regular school work.

Parents are invited to visit the kindergarten in the Normal school building and inspect its methods.

Mr. Lamb finds the record he has made on the tariff question is a very awkward one to explain to his con 8tituent9, and rather than make an honest statement of his views upon the subject he endeavors to avoid the real question and discuss that which at the best is only slightly relevant. He has no pronounced word to say in favor of a protective rariff he-only finds fault with the present law as do all tbe free traders. Unlike Randall, tbe leader of the small band of protection Democrats, whose ranks Mr. Lamb deserted at the last and critical moment of the fight on the idiotic Morrison bill, our congressman begs the quea tion and dodges the issue involved in that bill. Recently Mr. Randall in addressing his constituents said his course in that contest was dictated by a desire to stop "a blow aimed at the industries in which his constituents were engaged." Mr. Randall indulged in no fault-find-ing, nor did he say that after voting against the horizontal bill he voted for its consideration to the end that it might be improved. No, it was a blow at the industries which, by the way, are similar to those that have grown up in Mr. Lamb's district under the fostering influences of the present tariff. To Mr. Randall it seemed very foolish to try to utilize that blow for the good of those industries. No man welcomes an attacking party with open arms.

As we remarked MrT"Lamb's record is an awkward one for him and forces him to resort to very weak arguments. He could hardly have chosen a weaker one than that which he used last night, or rather the one he adopted from Hendricks' speech. He said the great evil of the present tariff was the surplus in the treasury and then he surpassed Hendricks in distorting the facts and making a demagogical use of tbem as stated. He complained that there was money in the treasury that should be divided among the people and stooping farther he endeavored to make an impression on his hearers by telling them that if this money had not accumulated in the treasury, each inhabitant would have five dollars more than possessed at present and that Terre Haute's share would be $150,000. Of course this sort of talk must be based upon tbe supposition that the

$450,000,000

in the treasury is

a surplus. Equally as a matter of course it is to be supposed that one who represents a district like the Eight Indiana in congress shonld know something about the condition of the finances of the country, but when Mr. Lamb uses such a pitiful argument he tells the people that he is

the matter or worse

still that he is trying to practice a very miserable piece of deception. As a matter of fact, less than one-third of the $450,000.000 to the government. Of t!*- $450,000,000 over $20,000,000 are held for the payment of bonds paat due, but not yet pesented. Would Mr. Lamb not provide for the payment of the debt? Or would he use money laid away to meet the obligation for another purpose, running the risk of being unable to pay it when the creditors present their bonds? Then there are $87,389,660 for the redemption of gold certificates and $96,491,251 for the redemption of silver certificates, or $183,880,911 which represent money now in actual circulation, because these certificates are to all intents and purposes currency, merely used for convenience in place of the bulky coin. Would Mr. Lamb practice a fraud by distributing these $183,880,911, which in fact are already in circulation? Again there are $23,640,921, held subject to the check' of pension agents, paymasters, etc. Would Mr. Lamb not provide for the payment of these checks? and would he use the money that is merely awaiting the presentation of those checks for any other purpose than that for which congress appropriated it, such for instance as distributing it at $5 a head in Terre Haute? Other amounts held for special purposes swell the total to $307,949,466.85. A call of bonds to mature November 1, 1884, requiring $10,000,000 will reduce the cash balance by that amount. So there is left a balance of about $130,000,000. Of this $95,000,000 is by act of congress to be kept in the treasury as a reserve fund for the redemption of greenbacks. The total amount of reserve for this purpose has been kept at about $140,000,000 as a matter of prudent administration.

Does not Mr. Lamb believe such to be prudent adminifitration, or would he conduct the finances in a manner that would put him in a position where at any moment he would be liable to a failure to redeem the greenbacks, uphold the faith of the government and execute the law which provided for the resumption of specie payments on the first of January, 1879? Oh no, we have toe much respect for his intelligence and ability to think he would do so, and we are sorry that he has compelled us to believe that the dire strait in which he finds himself on the tariff issue has driven him to impose upon the intelligence ot those who attend his meetings.

Impudence.

Martinsrillo (111.) Planet. The Terre Haute Express finds fanlt with Chicago on account of her shameless divorce laws. They had better reform their own laws before they begin to reflect on ths laws of other states. A state where a divorce was granted in one and three-fourths minutes after the application was made, has Burely no grounds to complain of the laws of other states on that subject. The good Lord knows our lawsare too loose, bat theirs are so much worse •hn* only an Indiana paper would have the impudence to say anything about it.

A Story of General Banka. Louisville Coorier-JonrnaL

I remember one story that was told about General Banks. One morning at daybreak, during Banks' Red River campaign, an aide galloped to his tent. "General, the rebels are attacking our line in force." The side waited impatiently no Banks, no orders. A second aide, and still thud—"General, our lines are broken, the army is in full retreat, there is danger of a sanic." No Banks, no orders. At .ength, half an hour later, General Banks issued from his tent in full repmentals, mounted his horse, drew his sword slowly from its scabbard and exclaimed with stentorian voice: "Let the enemy be repulsed immediately."

Cleveland is now alluded to by Democratic papers as "the new Moses." It will be remembered that at the end of Moses' campaign he was buried so deep that "no man knew where he lays."

In Governor Cleveland's Baffalo speech, which occupied not more than ten minutes in the delivery, the pronoun "I" appears twenty-two times, or more than twice a minute—and yet not a word about the tariff.

The charges against Cleveland have no foundation, according to the New Yerk World, "except the flimsy one of bygone indiscretions." A similar plea might have been urged in behalf of the two men that Cleveland hung. But for their "bygones indiscretions" they would not have been noosed, and Mr. Cleveland would have missed the handsome sum he received for putting an end to them.

These veterans form the hosts, and with their sons, now voters, join to make the crowds that greet him everywhere, and are proud of the opportunity to place him in the posi tion next highest in the gift of the American people.

"Qnlet" Lectures iu tbe South.

Gath. A Washington friend of mine remarked to-day: "Are you aware that three southern states voted yesterday?" -'r' "No what were they?"

He gave the names of these states. "Now," said he, "isn't it strange that an election in a little state like Maine will keep the whole country up to know how it lias gone, while three of the biggest southern stateB can vote and nobody pay the least attention to them? I should think tbe people down there would have pride enough to want to attract at least as much attention as the little state of Maine."

Cannibals Partially Converted. New York Sun. "My labors, so far, have only been partially successful," said a returned missionary. "Many of the poor heathen seemed disposed to accept the doctrines of Christianity, but are loath to give up the practice of cannibalism." "Kather difficult to reconcile the two," was a comment made. "Yes, they are somewhat antagonistic, but ultimately I hope to eradicate cannibalism entirely. Already I have been able to convert a large number to the extent of saying grace before meat.

Zola is reprinting some of his old novels. It is hinted by an envious contemporary that the sewers of Paris must be unusually clean nowadays.

Two Dangerons Reasons.

JSpring and fall are times when so many people get sick. The changes in the weather are severe on feeble persons, and even those naturally strong are apt, as they sey, "to be feeling miserable." Then they are just in condi tion to be struck down with some kind of fever. A bottle or two of Parker'B Tonic will invigorate the digestion, put the liver, kidneys and blood in perfect order, and prevent more serious attacks. Why suffer, and perhaps die. when so simple a medicine will save yon? Good for bath sexes and all ages,

Captain Webb's widow has now come out as an aboriginal and is sellnig moccasins and baskets in one of the Indian curiosity shops at the falls.
