Lord Coleridge is greatly surprised at the general knowledge of law among American women.—Courier-Journal.

According to the reports from Londor, Lord Coleridge, who was married yesterday to an American woman, did not take her to be his wife until she convinced him that the law would compel him to marry her.

The Gazette states that our booksellers have not yet received Miss Cleveland's book, and that one hundred copies can be sold here. This may seem like a reflection upon our booksellers, who always get the books for which there is any call. Miss Cleveland's book has been on sale in Terre Haute for weeks, and one copy has been sold so far. The two copies on hand overstock the market.

The report that a woman had died at Camden,. New Jersey, from what had every indication of being cholera, has served' to call attention to one serious danger that will arise in the event the plague reaches this country. There is no fact in connection with the disease better established than that a large percentage of the fatality is caused by fear that is, that excessive fright puts the physicaf system in a fit condition for an attack. The danger alluded to is that the sensational newspapers would magnify the news and set people wild with fear. In a half dozen newspapers the vague information about the Camden case is doubleleaded and elaborated in a startling manner. It is to be sincerely hoped that this sort of thing will be abandoned if cholera does come to our shores. We do not believe that the other extreme should be resorted to by the authorities or the press, but the dispassionate publication of the truth when it has been carefully ascertained will put the people in the proper frame of mind to take every precaution to prevent a spread of the scourge, The Camden case may serve, however, to instigate a movement for a general clean ing up, which, whether cholera comes or not, will be a good thing to do at this season of the year.

The Qhicago Inter 0 ean~ of yesterday published interviews with thirty or forty representative business men of that city on the commercial outlook. The InterOcean finds that these business men do not believe in the kind of talk that is becoming common to the eflect that the present state of depression is to continue, or that at the best it will take along time, perhaps a year or as long as the depression has been growing upon the country, to recover the healthy tone that prevailed ill 1882 and 1883. "It will be seen from the statements the business men," says the Inter-Ocean, "that business has not been as bad as the reports have indicated. Transactions a rule haye not been below those of last year. There was some improvement no ticed io July, and in a majority of cases a noticable improvement is reported for August. As was the rule last year there has been a small margin of profit on sales and a heavy business had to be done to make transactions profitable. As prices have been low the same amount of money that changed hands last year would rep resent this year a larger yolume of business. "The general tone of the interviews is hopeful. Business for August has in nearly every line of trade been better than that of July, and the gentlemen who speak for the several lines of business ex press the opinion that this improvement will continue. The bankers report a larger amount of capital idle than at any previous time, but seem to believe that when affairs become settled, while the lines of investment may change, that profitable use for the money now lying idle will be found without difficulty. In answer to the question of whether there was more money in the country tSan last year, one gentleman says no, but that as prices we lower less money is required in the trans' action of the same volume of business, and from this arises the impression that there is more money in the country because there is more idle. The opinion is also expressed that when the demands of business call for capital awaiting investment, there will be a ready response. "If business men understand the situa tion, the interviews published this morning are certainly very encouraging. If the business men of Chicago do not un derstand the situation, then nobody does. It may be taken for granted that .the indications in these interviews are to be trusted. The country is in good condition, trade has been dull, speculation has been restricted investors have been con servative, but business men are not discouraged, and business is growing better instead of worse."

It is always best, no doubt, to take the hopeful view, and by force of will power, so to speak, prevent, as far as possible, the depression that comes from natural causes. There is, the Express is inclined to think, one reason for the belief that the revival of trade will come quickly, when once the wind strikes the sails, and that is based on the rule that has been observe*} in all of the periodical panics or sieges of "haijJ times" that have over taken the commercial and industrial inlereote in this country. This is the re-

bounding spirits of the people, the push and activity that perhaps leads us too fast, and brings about these panics. It is the holding good of the adage that extremes beget extremes, extremely applied by the American people.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

The High School Building

To the Editor of the Express 8IB: I understand from your, paper that the School board have accepted the plan of J. A. Vrydagh for the new High School building. A school building should be artistic, well built, should be well arranged for light, should be well ventilated, and well warmed in cold weatherr The plan of the new building has not been made public, so that one can not judge of it by inspection, bu£ judging it by work Mr. V. has done heretofore it must be yery defectire. Mr. Vrydagh was the architect of the Normal school building it' is fine looking and seems well built but as a school house it is a conspicuous failure. Only four small sooms are at all in accord with the ideal room In arrangement for light and not a room in the bniildng can be well warmed and ventilated, Mr. V. was the architect for one of the university buildings at Greencastle. A professor) told me a few weeks ago that not a. room in the building could be warmed and ventilated. If Mr. Vrydagh»s plan is followed there will probably not be a room in the building that can be warmed and ventilated and if any are properly lighted it wtfl be by accident.

This is no attack on Mr. Vrydagh he doeeas well or better than other architects. The Polytechnic as a school building is as much failure as the Normal, and the First ward building is worse than either. The arranging of echool rooms for light and warmth and ventilation is a matter of scientific investigation. It is a branch of sanitary science. Neither the board, the superintendent or the architect ean be expected to know much about such matters. Their education, experience and training has been in a different direction. The citizens of Terre Haute are to pay $80,000 or $40,000 for a school building, for a permanent improvement they have aright to ask that it be made in accordance with the best ideaB, of art and workmanship. In it hundreds of children will be crowded for five or six hours per day for five days per week for thirty-eight or forty weeks in the year for three or four years of their lives. The taxpayers have aright to ask assurance that every room shall be lighted, warmed and ventilated according to the beet. light of reoent scientific research. Citizens have aright to ask of the board that t»ie plan of the new building be modified according to the advice of some honest, competent sanitary engineer.

A man riding by stopped at the novel sight, and blurted out: "Madam, you are on the wrong side of that cow.' It was news to her, but her ready wit came to her aid. "Yes, sir," was her pleasant reply, "but this isn't a common cow. She was raised by a left-handed woman." She came off conqueror.

THE EXi'MESSS, TERRE HAUTE, SUNDAY, AUGUST 16 1888.

The small number of dogs returned by the assessor wonid indicate that Terre Haute is a city with very few dogs. The howling and yelping at night will soon convince anyone to the contrary. There are at least 4,000 dogs in the city, and the assessor succeeds in finding about one out of every four. Dog days are here, the Beason when dogs are supposed to be in danger of hydrophobia. Our city father's have made stringent laws to govern dogs, but they are rarely enforced. The ordinance governing dogs says "it shall be unlawful for any person owning or harboring any animal, of the dog kind, that is vicious and disposed to cross, to suffer or permit such animal to run-at large during the daytime." "That it shall be unlawful for any person to harbor or keep any animal of the dog kind which, by loud and frequent or

THE THIRTY-FIRST INDIANA REGIMENT—"How about the reunion of General Cruft's old regiment?" was asked yesterday evening of all ex-officer of the regiment and a projector of the proposed encampment. "Oh, it is, without doubt, an assured fact. The work of searching out and communicating with the survivors of the gallant old Thirty-first, has been carried out with method and we now have on file no less than 360 favorable l^sponses Nearly three companies of the regiment were raised right here in Vigo county and throughout the county wherever the subject of the coming reunion has been broached an undisguised enthusiasm has been demonstrated. Why, one good old citizen of Lost Creek township lias offered a contribution of provisions for 100 men during the encampment and another interested old soldier of Sugar Creek has offered to feed fifty men. Thus it is wherever we have talked up the encampment we haye received assurances of help." "Have you solicited assistance in Terre Haute?" "Not as yet, to any extent. Several of the mills have offered us flour, and arrangements have already been made to exchange the same with the bakers for bread. To-morrow night the executive committee and township committees will meet, and we will then learn exactly how much pecuniary and other assistance has been guaranteed. Terre Haute will be canvassed in the interest of the movement, and without the shadow of a doubt the reunion of the Thirty-first Indiana Volunteers—the regiment that went through more sanguinary battles than any othen Indiana regiment (save one, the Thirtieth)—will be proven a grand success."

IN THE MELON MABKET.—Yesterday morning twenty-three full wagon loads of water-melons were backed up for sale at the Walnut street side of the city market. At noon eight of the twenty-three had either been sold or removed to other locations where competition was not so active. A reporter stood for a few moments in the shadow of the'building and listened with no little interest to the loquacity of the various melon sellers who had remained in their first-selected positions, as in several instances, thej attempted to .force upon passersby, their fruit. One lank young man Treated not a little excitement for a time, by standing in his wagon and delivering himself of something like the following medley of expressions: "Herethey go! Rare, ripe and juicy, took at 'em, wish for 'em, fish for 'em! Turn your eyes on this here load o' melons, ladies and gents. This load here, not, that'n over there—theres chills and fever and stomach ache and cholera in every last one of that load,— but just examine these, red to the rine, only a dime—one at a time—do you see walk up, crawl up, any way to get up, and buy one o' my rip-rt)arin' rich melons. Look at these others here—bullets, every one of them. Good "of their kind—but, oh! Lord what a "—at this moment one of a party of countrymen who were devouring some fruit behind one of the pillars, hurled a large fragment of the soft ?heart" of a melon straight at the pseudo-orator and the mushy missel landing squarely over his mouth suddenly shut off further eloquence. When last seen he was standing in the rear of the market house trying to shake pieces of watermelon out oi Ijis shirt collar.

The reporter gave her a dime, and told her she could have it all for hei own if she would take him to her home. "I 'speck I'll get skinned, but' I'll do it," said she.

She led the way up Second street to the building known as "Rotten Row." She showed the reporter up the stairs into one of the side rooms, and pointing to a woman sitting by a window, said: "Thaf mother."

"Why, we are doing everything possible, under the circumstances. Mechanics are busily engaged in the work of preparing the buildings— particularly the carpenters and painters." "Do you then expcct to inaugurate the opening of the institution in th« fall?" "Oh, as to that, I cannot at this time say. We have, in the aggregate, a handsome sum assured, but business is terribly depressed and money is not plentiful, as you well know. It is quite possible that some of those—perhaps a large number—who have placed their names on the subscription list may find it impossible to pay the sums of their contributions when we will most need the money. In such an event of course, we may be temporarily crippled and forced to delay the opening of Coates college. However, there has been nothing subscribed that will not be paid sooner or later, and the work,' begun so auspiciously, wil^ certainly be carried into practical effect.

DE PAUW—"The university at Greencastle is spreading out in a vigorous way," said Dr. Scovell, who recently visited the institution. "New departments, new buildings, new apparatus, new ideas, give an appearance of new life. Under the management of Mr, De Pauw and an ficient corps of professors the university is taking a place i" the front rank of American institutions of learning. With well endorsed departments of literature and science, theology and law, pedagogy, music and art, with good chemical and physical laboratories, with good museums of geology and mineralogy, with a good astronomical observatory, little is left to be desired and that little is daily becoming less. The pedagogical or normal de1 partment is under the control of Professor Parr, with him are Profersors Mace, Carhart and Tompkins. They have all taught in the Normal school here, and have many friends in Terre Haute who will be glad to know that the prospects for prosperous opening term in their depart ment is very encouraging."

TYPHOID FEVER.—"To what do you attribute the prevalence of so many cases of typhoid fever?" an Express reporter asked a well-known physician. "To decaying matter. Wherever there is a case of typhoid there can always be found decaying matter. I have several cases on north Second street, which may be caused by the sewer."

Talks with physicians reveal the fact that there are an extraordinary number of cases in the city.

THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The Agricultural society held a meetiilg yesterday. Among the business transacted was to offer a purse of $50 lor the best drill ed company, also to build three cattle sheds seventy-five feet long, capable of sheltering 108 head. These new sheds will cost over $1,000. Wednesday of fair week will he children's day, all children accompanied by their parents being admitted free.

THE OPERA HOUSE.—Manager Naylor stated a few days ago to an Express re porter that the lessees of the house were preparing a list of good attractions for Terre Haute the coming season. It will be the sincere wish of the amusement going people that this is true. Terre Haute has demonstrated in the past that "snide" shows will not. be patronized.

The Old Aunty's Question About Lin coin. Correspondence New York Evening Post.

Returning to Corinth we pass some negro cabins, and by the door of one is sitting an old aunty who must at least be an octogenarian. A few questions and we gathered the information- that she spent most of her days as a slave in southern Alabama, and was sold and brought to Corinth just before the war. Very touching is her yearning for the "old mass' whom I 'spec's am done dead an' gone dese long years." She told us about the.siege of Corinth with raised hands and the exclamation, "But I tell yo', boss, dem was mighty try in4*times when de Yanks came down here." Presently she put the question "I say, boss, can yo' tell me is Massa Linkum in de White House at Washington yet?" We told her about Lincoln's death, and something of what occurred since then-, and were rewarded when we finished, by the comment, "Wall, I do declar', dem are might's doin's."

The Lancet says that the pain of neu ralgic headache experienced by women is generally located in one or more branches, of the second cervical nerve, very commonly those terminating in the scalp at the occiput. The nerves of the scalp are irritated by the hair being drawn tightly back, ana put on the strain, not as a whole, in which case the strain would be spread over a large area of the surface but by small bundles of hair, which are pulled back and held in place by hairpins. Relief is often consciously experienced as a result of removing the hairpins, but this has only a temporary and partial effect. The injury is lasting in its consequences. The present style of dressing hair should be discontinued, as it probably, in part, accounts for the extreme prevalence of neuralgic headache. *.

Some anxiety is felt in dramatic circles about Mr. Boucicault, who should have arrived in Austraia with his company, including his son, Dot, and daughter, Noria, early in June, but has not yetAcen heard from.

A curious incident occurred in the Parade church, Shornclifle, England, on Sunday, July 25. It was found that the church was besieged by various- kinds of birds, principally swallows. Every effort was made to dislodge them, but without effect, and at last some soldiers were obliged to fire a volley of blank cartridges, which completely routed -them, and the church being soon vacated the service was held.

The daughter of Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania, writes to the Philadelphia Times that the Prussian volksschulen are overcrowded and the teachers underpaid. Pupils to the number of from eighty to 300 are placed in charge oi a single teacher, often a boy of not more than 15 or 18 years of age. The pay of the teachers is wretchedly inadequate. Most ef them are forced to seek outside employment in order to get enough to live on. So unattractive is this profession that there is a want of teachers to fill the schools. In 1869 there were in Prussia 595 teachers' and 474 assistants' positions vacant. There were school districts where there had been no teachers for a generation. It is worth while to add that in the year in question 970 teachers and 822 assistants employed in the volksschulen were boys.

The Marquis ef Salisbury's speech on the first public occasion since he became prime minister, at the lord mayor's annual banquet to ministers, is regarded very favorably as to matter. He is about six feet, of unwieldy figure, and his sallow features are completely covered by copses of straggling heir. He has little pretensions to be regarded as an orator like the G. O. M. he has succeeded, being unprepossessing both in appearance ana manner, and he has an unpleasant habit, when he rises, of turning his side, instead of his front, to his audience, and in this attitude bending, almost lying, over the table, when he dtsires to emphasize a particularly telling party point. There is about him, however, a certain air of melancholy which is interesting, and the tones of his voice are subdued and plaintive. At times, too, though not eloquent in the ordinary sense of the word, he is an effective speaker, terse, clear and vigorous.
