Let it be recorded.

The Evansville Courier records the fact that the'Terre Haute Regency" has not entirely neglected the soldier, and tells of the Hathorn case. The Courier comments thereupon as follows:

How many-of Senator Voorhees' "painful grets" wHl be knocked out by this diBCoyery, we do not pretend to say.

But we want to keep the books straight as we go along and, therefore, credit the Regency with the appointment of one soldier.

The ordinance recently passed by the council which is intended t'o pievent the

semi-occasional

invasion of the city by

"fire store" and "bankrupt" schemers, is a good move. The city has frequently been made the victim of these traveling sr«culators. They irfjtire the trade of the merchants who pay taxes here and help build up the city, and nine times out of ten swindle those who buy of-them. The Express helieves in the principle of protection to home interests and, as with th? tariff, if the $10 a day license provided in the ordinance is not sufficient to protect our home merchants, then raise the amount.

The schedule of steamers to carry the mail to foreign countries during the month of July, the first month of the government's fiscal year, shows that nearly all the lines owned by American companies do not appear on the list, as has been the custom. Postmaster-General Vilas would not pay the rate heretofore prevailing, and the result is that British lines will carry the mail. The Australian mail, for instance, which has been going by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company from San Francisco, now goes by the way of England, Brindisi and the Suez Canal, of course greatly delaying arrival at its destination.

The friends of General Black in Washington are sending to the country a defense of his action in removing ex-union soldiers. The defense is that other ex union soldiers were put in their places1 This is the same kind of an explanation that waa made when nine ex-soldiers were discharged in the revenue service here and Hathorn was one of the two new men mentioned as soldiers. In Black's

case

It has been the general wish and ex pectation that Hathorn would either be summarily removed from the position to which he was ap pointed by Collector Hanlon or that he would recognize the decencies of the occasion and resign. But neither has been done. There has been no attempt denial or explanation of the statement made by the Express that he was a deserter. Collector Hanlon says if he had known of the facts in time he would not have appointed Hathorn. Then why not summarily discharge him.

However as no suitable action seems likely to be taken we will quote for the benefit of those interested the following sectiop (1996) of the Revised Statutes of the United States:

All persons who deserted the military or naval service of the Unitel States and did not return thereto or report themselves to a provost marshal within sixty days after the issuance of the proclamation by the president, dated the 11th day of Staroh, 1865, are deemed to have voluntarily relinquished and forfeited their rights of citizenship as well as their rights to become citizens, and such deserters shall be forever inc ipable of holding any office of trost or profit nnder the United States or of exercising any of the rights of citizens thereof.

Yestgrday morning in St. Louis, when the Hon. John E. Lamb read the paper while waiting for his breakfast to be served to him, his eyes undoubtedly saw the paragraph, in the St. Louis Republican of that morning, given below, and appearing in the leading democratic organ of the west, it no doubt "spoiled" our ex-congressman's breakfast. As he read unconsciously he saw "Lamb" where the print was "Temple" and "Holstein" where the article had the name "Mott:"

Mr. Temple is investigating Sir. Frederick W. Mott on the charge of "offensive partisanship." Everybody in St. Iiouis knows that Mr. Mott is an offensive partisan, and that Mr. Temple|is one also. It is oar desire to see Mr. Mott succeeded by a democrat as soon as may be fairly possible, but to oust him on such a charge will be not cmly an absurdity, but a plain violation of the terms of the city charter. Mott has always been offensive in his partisanship—that is to say, he has always worked etrennonsly against the domocratic party, just "as Mr. Temple has worked against the republican party. If Mr. Mott were suspected of dishonesty or violation of law in his partisanship, an investigation on that score would be justifiable. Bat it is not the part of wisdom for democrats to sanction against themselves a law forbidding the lawful advocacy of principle. Neither is it the part of manliness to make a public show of indignation over what is privately regarded as correct and proper.

TALK ABOUT TOWN-

A BAD FIGHT.—Yesterday afternoon Frank Harrington was standing on the sidewalk on Main street, between Ninth and Tenth streets, when a farmer-looking individual accosted him for alight for his cigar. Harrington was smoking, and handed his cigar to the farmer, who, instead of taking a light, threw' his own "snipe" away and put Harrington's cigar in his mouth. For this piece of impudence Harrington struck the granger, and made the weather so intensely hot for him that he beat a retreat for the cool shades of the country. Officer McNelis was near, and* attempted to arrest Harrington, but he proved to be a tough customer. It was a rough and tumble Sght. McNelis -has the reputation of being a good officer, and looks like a good man physically, but he has been sick recently, and has only been out of a sick bed a few days. Harrington is a small man^ but he is made for a rough and tumble fight, and he gave thfi officer as much as he wanted. He took the officer's mace away from him and threw it in the gutter, arid struck him jin the face, and proceeding to choke him when the" crowd interfered.

Harrington was taken to the Ninth street engine house, where he again attacked the officer, striking him in the mouth. He was placed in the patrol

wagon

H. C. Bell, of Marshall, is

one of the ex-soldiers among the new men. This is the same Bell, after whose appointment had been announced, was denounced by the democratic organ of Marshall as a blackmailer and swindler.

The Indianapolis News complains that the press of that city does not support and encourage the young mugwumps who are after Postmaster Jones' scalp, and refers to the fact that the press in general is ever ready to chide the public for not doing what these young mugwumps are now doing—that is, move in the enforce ment of the ltnf.' The local press, no doubt, is governed in its course to great extent by acquaintance with the boy statesmen, who are at the bottom of this movement. It is very diffi cult to aroUse any enthusiasm for a cause which is handicapped by the presence of those who lead in it. Even if Mr. Jones has violated the- law there is a feeling that sonle one besides hypocrites should prosecute hirii.

and taken to jail, where he was

charged with assault and battery and resisting. He will have a hearing this morning. Harrington is known as fighter. It seems like it runs in the family to fight. Last summer his brother caused a sensation -by breaking an iron pump handle over a man's head.

BADGE PRESENTATION.—A number of Superintendent Lawlor's friends presented him with a handsome gold badge last evening. The presentation speech was made by Mr. Thomas Harper, who said, the badge was from Mr. Lawlor's friends without regard to party. "Among one of your duties," said Mr. Harper, "is. as Grant once said, 'Let

guilty man

•escape.'" Superintendent Lawlor said he was no

speech-maker,

but he greatly

appreciated the present. "As for letting no guilty man escape," said he, "you must blame Charley Lamb for thatj not me." -.-V--y

Among thc^e ^present .were Postmaster Regan, Al. School, L. Leveque, Cliarko Lamb, Jos. Roach, Police Commissioner Coffin and others, but among them no Republicans.

UNCLE SAM'S GHOsr.-Wednesday night the night employes of the postoffice were treated to a spectacle which rivaled anything of the kind in that vicinity for many years. A gentleman rooming above the postoffice had an attack of night-mare and wandered down the back stairs into the alley, and out into Ohio street in his night shirt, Mr. Hamill who at the time was in- the alley, enjoying the ni^ht breeze, when the night walker appeared, beat a hasty retreat into the office, firmly believing it to be a ghost, and nothing can now convince him that it was not. The gentleman reaching the alley near Mr! Carlton's residence, was awakened, and made almost as good time in reaching his rdom as Mr. Hamill did in getting inside the office. —111

THE BAND TOURNAMENT.—The When band, of Indianapolis, will go Evansville. They pass through^ this afternoon. The Trunk lit 'f with about twenty people from A,. lin will arrive in the city to-ni^ It an stop at the National house until Jrning when they-will go down with the Ringgold. The Ringgold will make a promenade about 7 O'clock this evening. Look out for Ren. in his new uniform. The excursion to-morrow promises to be the largest leaving the city for several years. A large delegation from Rockville and Brazil will also go down to Evansville.

TERRE HAUTE WATERMELONS.—The home crop of watermelons is coming into market. Terre Haute melons have an American reputation. Our rich, sandy soil is adapted to their cultivation, and few acres will yield car-load after carload. When shipping time comes from fifty to one hundred car-loads leave this city daily, going to Chicago and all the eastern cities. In the market places in New York and Philadelphia Terre Haute .watermelons command the best prices. They are placarded, and melon peddlers shout "Terre Haute watermelons." It is the same in Chicago.

A WILL PRORATED.—The will of the late Lucy Rockwood was filed for probate yesterday. She bequeaths $1 each to her three sons and to three of her daughters. Clara A. Atkins, a daughter, is given the remaining property, consisting of the north half of lot 109 of Rose's subdivision of 47 acres. At the death of Mrs. Atkins the property is to go to the American Missionary association. Mrs. Atkins is named as executrix.

THE FORESTERS.—Mr. J. E. Somes has filed his final report as receiver of the United Order of Foresters, and the report has been accepted by the court. He paid in $2,100, which is a fraction over five cents on'the dollar of indebtedness. The indebtedness amounted to $41,135.

Parties, claiming that the extension of. jraw fmm f, Ohio street from Canal" to the was private property, built across Ohio street at Canal about six weeks since. It was afterward taken down and has since been replaced rendering travel impassible beyond that point City Engineer Grimes says that the city marshal has the authority to tear away the obstruction and open the street It-is probable that this will be done.

A Burglar Alarm.

Mrs," T. H. Riddle, residing at the corner of Eighth and Chestnut, reported by telephone yesterday morning that some one was trying to break into her residence. Officers were sent in the patrol wagon but a thorough inspection of the surroundings failed to develop traces of the presence of burglars. Shortly after the wagon had left a package of letters was found in the alley to the rear of -Mrs. Riddle's residence.

According to the Washington correspondent of the Alexandria (Va.)

ThoAe who knew him say that had that notice come a day sooner Mr. Trenholm's life would have been prolonged for years.

A Texas young man advertised for a wife, rnd a correspondence succeeded with a girl in Cleveland, resulting in a long range betrothal. Upon going to Cleveland to marry, he was astounded to learn that the owner of the name wa£ about to wed another, and that it was her mischievous sister who had been writing to him. Instead of accepting the sister, he lost his grip on happiness and tried to kill himself with arsenic. He seemed to be in love with the name of the girl he imagined himself betrothed to..

The late Dr. Samuel Irensetra Prime was for along time editor of the "Editor's Drawer" in Harper's Magazine. When he took the "Drawer" in charge he had been editing the Observer thirteen years without saving a cent. For his services in conducting the "Drawer" he received $100 a month. This he religiously laid away in bank, and at the end of five years had $6,000 cash. With this he made his first payment toward his shares in the New York Observer, which afterward brought him wealth.

When Bishop William Taylor went with men, women and children to establish missionary stations across Africa, with no money to pay his exI penses, except of passage, no treasury to

Ross has 4ecided that his children have some claim upon him. He could not properly care for them in such a climate as Africa, and he has deemed it best to return to

America. The Bishop is solely disappointed, writes sadly of the event, and promises to reinburse the transit fund for the cost of their passage.

LAKE MAXINKUCKEE,

IndianVB Summer Resort—A Bfantlful Sheet of Water Now Easily Accessible— Some of Its Beajitios—Contemplated

Improvements. Indianapolis Mews.

The" air at Maxinkuckee smells and feels iike that of a much higher latitude, and it is difficult to believe that its odorous breezes do not sweep through^ resinous thickets, carpeted with lycopodium embossed with winter-green, as at Petoskey, or across vast reaches of deep blue water, as at Chequamagon or from depths of dark and cool maple forests, as at Minnetonka. The aspect of its changeful skies, too, suggests the farther north. It has no precipitous headlands and deeply indented bays, such as make Minnetonka at once so picturesque and so treacherous, and no hidden rocks to wreck the inexperiencedjor adventurous navigator, no islands dot its surface but its temjjer is as capricious as its aspect is lovely in all the moods, and whether it lash the sloping shore with the spray of its white caps, or duplicate with out a ripple the serene early-morning sky or mirror the midnight moon aureolec. with silver splendor, it is always fresh always charming.

The seeker of the white water lily will find it by crossing the lake to the outlet, taking a canoe, shooting under the low railroad bridge and pursuing his tortuous way through obstruCtinglily pads a quarter of a mile to Lost Lake, no inconsiderable body of water. Here, all along the shores, and particularly where its clear waters glide stealthily between low banks to seek'the Wabash, thiB most regal ot all the lilies may be found in abundance, like molten gold resting within- the white enamel lining of its bronze and emerald crucible, and shining in the distance like a star above the waves, the purple or crimson lining of its green leaves showing whenever a breeze ripples the surface of the water, and forming a combination of color upon the background of crystal to ravish the soul of a painter.

There are, as yet, no spacious and costly hotels at Maxinkuckee. The club houses serve this office for their dwners and friends, though several of these have lately been diverted from their original burpose, and have been opened to the public. Some who, like John Palmei with whom the writer tarried, domicilec at night under the canvass of a friendly tent near by, erected cottages for their own summer habitation, have been induced by visitors (who, seeing the comfort and luxury of their way of living, have impportuned them) to provide an annex for lodging and admit them to the privileges of the' family table. The ubiquitous Ohmers have already erected a large eating hpuse and skating, rink close .to tlje depot at Marmont, and are draining and beautifying a large grove near by, with the view of putting up cottages for rent to. the sum mer sojourner, so that by next 'season there will be no want of ample accommodations. And here, it may be said, that accessibility to the Chicago markets, which, by the push and enterprise of hei wide-awake merchants, are better supplied with the luxuries of the season than are even the markets of the south, insures everything in its earliest season, so' that for creature comforts Maxin kuckee is not behind any of its pretentious sisters.

Many cottages on the banks of the lake belong to Indian&polis gentlemen and clubs. Harry Adams, Otto Stechhau, the Vajens

McOuat and others are on the

eastern shore,and Hilarity Hill illustrates its name near by. This latter institution occupies a commanding position, and from its terraced front the sound of music, vocal and instrumental of various degrees of harmony, is often heard far into, the night. Its owners have all the abandon and love of mischief of boys let loose for the holidays. Some of them, while in the city, cribbed the sign, "Mc Carty street," from one of' the Indianapolis stieet cars, and proceeded to nail it to Harry Adam's cottage. It will be admitted that the party who gets the last laugh on Harry Adams is an early riser. He slumbered too late on this occasion, for the device, "Insane Asylum," obtained by consent from the same street car company, now points its slow, unmoving finger up the stairway at Hilarity Hill.

Gentlemen and clubs from Plymouth, Rochester, Chicago, Tene Haute, Lafayette and cities further away have co'tages here, and available sites are now held as high as city lots, with a prospect of increasing in value. A number of cottages of pretentious architecture are to be built this summer and many more are contemplated so that our nearest and msst popular watering place promises, in the near future, to be a place of prominence.

Fashion has not yet invaded Maxinkuckee—or rather the fashion which consults comfort first, prevails. Those who have fine toilets to display and propose to devote their time to displaying them need not come here. Ease, rest, comfort, independence, cool air, pure water, fishing, boating—these may be had in abundance. Who wants fashion and discomfort should go elsewhere.

A BALLOON IN A §TORM.

Thrilling Experieace

Since the Vandalia road "has been completed tQ the borders of this lake, it is perfenced in that part of the state for easy of access. Now it requires but one years. Becoming terrified by the lightchange of cars—at Colfax, involving transit of a few yards on a platform— and a run»of a hundred and twenty miles from Indianapolis to Marmont, on the shore of the lake. Maxinkuckee is a beautiful sheet of water—more than four miles across in its largest diameter. Its shores area series of low hills, with an occasional level, still crowned with forest trees for the most part, though their density has been diminished by cultivated farms whose Waving cornfields peer down through the shallow gorges. 'The shores slope so gently that the bather may walk out thirty or forty yards before the depth compels him to swim Two steamers, one a' side-wheel and the other a propeller, brought from Lake Erie, visit the Marmont landing on the arrival of trains to take the visitors to any of the club houses or other stopping place he may desire to go.

Literary Notes.

A two-part story of an unusual character by George Alfred Townsend is begun in the Current of August 1. It is an historical romance entitled "Anne Hutchinson," relating to the early Puritanic period in Massachusetts. Mr. Townsend writes with great feeling. He glorifies his heroine, Mrs Hutchinson, and _holds up to scorn the Winthrops, the Wilsons, the Cottons, and others of their ilk who have long cheated history of the obloquy, as Mr. Townsend believes, they deserve.

Mrs. Grant's share of the proceeds of General Grant's book "Personal. Memoirs' of U. S. Grant," will be between $300,000 and $500,000. Publisher L, C. Webster says the guarantee sale of 250,000 set of. books already made by agents,.,inured her $300,000. Four thousand agents were now gathering subscriptions ana the number was soon, to be increased to five thousand. The work will be served in two volumes to be published separately about the first of December and March next, respectively. They both will be sold exclusively on subscription.

St. Nicholas for August is full of out-of-doors, of sunshine aid, shad*? and birds, of the forest and the seaside and the lake, and stories and pictures which will give a boy or girl in a hammock-on a shady porch almost as much pleasure and far less discomfort than the coamer will be sure to find.

A Chicago woman, while seated on a' wharf fishing, fell asleep. Waking sad* denly she caught sight of a reflection of one of her feet on the water, and, thinking it was her husband's dory, jumped in and was drowned.

Don't Give Up Yet.

It doesn't follow that a patient will die because the doctors have "given him up," or that he will recover because they promise to "pull him through." It is never too late to try the great virtues of Parker's Tonic. Mr. Michael Guilfoyle, of Binghampton, N. Y., was cured of Rheumatism by it after ten years of unspeakable suffering. Mr. R. W, Mosher, of same city, certifies that be has sold over a thousand botiles of Parker's Tonic through its repntation for this and other cures.
