The British government proposes to put down boycotting in Ireland—at least so says Hicks-Beach. There is one branch of the boycotting business which might have considerable effect and could not be prevented by all "King George's men"—that it is to boycott English man' nfactures. If the Irish are justifiable in anything of the kind it -is in refusing to buy the products of the manufactories in England for the benefit of which the industrial enterprises of Ireland, at one time very prosperous, were wiped out of existence. If Ireland has a right to expect anything from the imperial govern' ment it is money and influence to develop the* great industries which in England support so many hundred thousand laborers. It was once the fashion to Boycott British goods in this country and we can commend the example to others, for it is a quiet, bloodless way of striking an enemy in that tender spot, the pocket.

The new telegraph rates are being adopted in England, which fix 12 cents as the minimum rate for a message of twelve words, including the address, adding 1 cent for each additional word. It is a delightful prospect opening before us, this sending a message for 10 cents more th^n a stamped envelope costs, for, of course, America will some day equal the old country in telegraphing, as she now does in postal rates. Postal cards and telegraphic dispatches mark the de-. cadence of letter writing and the passing away of long letters." Ten-cent rates will convince one that all which is necessary can be better said in ten words than on a page of fancy note paper. For example, if Murat Halstead could have telegraphed at a cent a word, he would not have written that impulsively foolish letter to Chase. In his habitually boil-ing-over state, he would have certainly telegraphed. We must have English rates over American wires.

The Vincennes News, democrat, says the Evansville Courier "struck a keynote in its demand for the dethronement of Hendricks, Voorhees and McDonald.'' The News as stating its judgment of the condition of sentiment in the democratic party remarks that it anticipated this would prove to be the result of the Courier's crusade for better things in its party management. The News also says in the confidence of its judgement of men and affairs that "of course all the fellows who have axes to grind are careful to avoid unpleasant allusions to the powers that be but throughout the country it is conceded that new men with ideas more in harmony with the present area crying need of the "democracy." This we are constrained to believe is true. The pity of it all is that the "fellows who have axes to grind" seem to have the upper hand in the party notwithstanding the fact that throughout the country the crying need of the democratic party is to be rejuvenated.

General Butler is nothing if not cute and original." He does not like Warner's silver bill and suggests that the certificates should be on, not bullion but flannel.

THE FLOUR MARKET.

The Northwestern Miller's Weekly Kevlevr—The Output an Increase Over the Previous Wetk.

MiNitEAPOiiis, Minn., October 1.—The Northwestern Miller says 'Matters have resumed their old-time activity on the platform. For most of the mills last week were cnt short one to three days, and yet the flour production reached nearly 21,000 barrels daily.. In actnal figures the output was 125,878 barrels, averaging 20,9G3 barrels daily, against 79,419 barrels the preceding week and 139,626 barrels for the corresponding time in 1884. .These figures foreshadow something of what may be expected the present week. All except one of the twenty-three mills are in mo tion, arid there are but few that are not running with the heaviest feed they will take. Mill-owners are anxions to increase their'flour out-put, and the operative millers respond to their behests on an extent only limited by power and machinery. Bepairs to. the lower end of the canal have necessitated keeping the water two or three feet lower, and some of the mills have felt the loss perceptibly, and would add considerably to their out-put with the full head. This difficulty, however, will be obviated in a few days. The indications on_ Tuesday pointed to this week's production being over 150,000 barrels, and the heaviest on record. More or less complaint is made about the lack of cars on certain lines, and also abput the slow delivery of wheat at the mills. The mills are kept free from flour and suplied with wheat only in a hand to-mouth ashion, so heavy are the demands upon the transfer companies, but no serious delay has yet been occasioned therefrom. The majority oi the mills are using new wheat with old in proportions of from 10 to 50 per cent, and while a little hard to

and the rise in freights "knocked it silly," but the millers, as a rule, have enough orders to keep them busy for awhile, hence they are not making the concessions necessary to effect large sales at present. There is a very good inquiry, but offers are too low, as a rule. It is be' lieved that the lightness of stocks everywhere will enable the millers to place flour on an equality with wheat as to value, it' having been relatively too low for nearly a year. Patents have been selling tbe best, but other grades are now beginning to move. Export orders are not very plentiful as yet, but there is an increase in the number of cables of iiiquiry, indicating a desire to be ready for the advance which all seem to expect before the holidays.

MATRIMONIAL YEARNINGS.

The President Wants to Marry a Blooming Widow, But Is Afraid to Tell Bose. Washington Letter in San Francjseo Post.

"On his recent trip to the woods," slyly remarked a well-known New Yorker today, "the president met an acquaintance, a young widow, whom the gossips have not yet named, but who is undoubtedly nearer his heart than any o'f the young misses who have been mentioned as his fiancees." The meeting was arranged by Doctor Ward, who holds himself responsible for the whole business.

This widow is about thirty, is given to embonpoint, and will tip the scales at 165 pounds. She has no children, and enjqys a' comfortable income from a snug little property inherited from her mother. She was in Washington last "May. and saw the president without attracting any attention. There is no doubt that the president and the widow are much interested in each other, but the president is a little shy about telling sistfer Rose, don't you see!

The widow belongs to an excellent New York family, but Miss Bose may or may not approve of having the acquaintance continue. The president told an intimate friend confidentially, the other evening, that he never felt the need of a wife so much as since coming to Washington. The president and Miss Eose are totally unlike in their thoughts and actions, and the latter is wholly absorbed in her literary labors.

The ladies of Washington would rejoice W see the president wedded to a good wife, but perhaps two or three' belles, who have set their caps for the president, would be sorely disappointed. "What a grand wedding we will have," exclaimed one of the attaches of the White House "if this rumor proves true."

The president, by two moves, has become entirely separated from all of Iris old bachelor companions, and has no chance for the delights of club life, as in the old Buffalo days. All his chums of yore are hundreds of miles away, and is it any wonder that the president keenly realizes the utter loneliness of his life. Since the 4th of March thS hurly-burly of official life has kept his mind fairly occupied, but it is quieter now, and homesickness can reach even older hearts than the president's. A DEADLY CANCER REMEDY.

Frightful Sufferings of a Victim of Quack Practice, as Alleged In a Damage Salt.

RICHMOND, Ind., October 1.—A complaint containing horrible allegations was filed in the Circuit court this afternoon. The complaint alleges that Barnabas Barton, a rich farmer living in Franklin township, and William Cline, an alleged cancer doctor, undertook to cure what they called a malignant cancer on the lip of Margaret O. Wordell, of Scott county, she being fifty-five years old, very strong and robust and in perfect health. The cure was to be perfected in ten days "bv a certain medicine which Vas to be applied externally. About the middle of May last Mrs Wordell commenced using the medicine. The stuff was so powerful that it ate her lips and part of her throat out, the ears fell off, the eves dropped from their sockets, the nose fell away in fact, all that was left of the front part of the head were the teeth, which were unprotected, the eye sockets, nasal passage and bare bones only. Such, !it least, the complaint charges. On the 1st of Sep temper, after the most horrible suffering, the woman died, and Urman Wordell, as administrator of her estate, sues Barton & Cline for $10,000 damages on the grounds mentioned.

TALK ABOUT TOWN.

BEOWN'S BABY.—The case of Dr. H. W. Taylor vs. B. P. Brown, was tried yesterday before Judge Mack while argument was made .before the jury in the Watts' case. The action was to recover a fee for medical attendance of Miss Julia Brown. This is the Brown baby case that bloomed about eighteen months ago, but gave way to more exciting events, Mr, Brown is a farmer residing near St. Mary's. One morhing he went away from home telling his wife that he would not be home until next morning. The next morning Mrs. Brown fonnd a little red-faced baby rolled up in a wisp of hay on the door step. She brought it in the house, and summoned' all the women in the neighborhood t6 viSit it When Brown came home he ex pressed great surprise. As they had no children they decided to keep it. On. the clothing of the child waB found a note, the words of which have escaped the reporter's memory, but it wassigned "Most Worshipfnl Master," and the tenor of the note was that of a Masonic communication. Time went on, and a racy story was developed. Miss Julia Brown, a niece of Mr. B. F. Brown, was the mother oi the

Miild .A short time before the child was found on the door-step Miss Brown was taken to Mrs. Shoemaker's, who occupied rooms on Main street. Here she remained until she gave birth to a child, and for several weeks thereafter. Dr. Taylor at" tended her, and the doctor says it was by Brown's request. Miss Brown passed under the name of Mrs. Jones while at Mrs. Shoemaker's. The doctor sued for his fee in a justice's court, and then the story came out. Miss Brown was in court yes terday. She has changed somewhat since she attended the trial in the justice's court. She is not as fat, and the winds of Sugar Creek have scattered a few freckles o'er her face. -5

THE CORN CROP.—"Grim men ""and others, are figuring on an immense crop of corn this season," said an old farmer yesterday, "but I am very doubtful as to the yield. I do notj candidly, expect, in the extreme much beyond what was produced all over the county last year, if, indeed we reach last year's figures. I have been over the county somewhat and my prediction is baaed largely upon personal observation. True we have a third larger acreage than was planted last year, but as far as I have been able to notice and learn, the indications are strongly that the yield this year,, as a matter of fact, will be one-third less than that of 1884, The corn is not earing out full. There will be an abundance of fod der, but on many farms whose owners are looking for 'big corn'there will be a large yield of nubbins—nothing more or less. I have fifty acres of corn which earlier in the season, in my own opinion and that of many of my neighbors was likely to yield sixty bushels to the acre will not at gathering time near approach it indeed I would like to sell it now at forty-five bushels to the acre. No sir I wish it was possible for me to pin my faith .to a large crop now, but I do not consider that recent condition justify me in so doing."

THE POLYTECHNIC.—There areseventy three students attending the Rose Poly technic Institute, a greater number than ever before. The graduating class at present numbers sixteen. This class will really be the first graduating class of this institution. The graduating class last year numbered three, but they had attended the Worcester Polytechnic before coming to Terre Haute. The present class never attended any other institute, but began at the Rose. Everything is working smoothly. The trustees have three men in view for the presidoncy, but negotiations have not proceeded far enough to warrant the mention of names at present.

A GREAT BALL GAME.—Several lovers of base ball from Terre Haute were in Chicago Wednesday, and attended the game between the Chicago and New York clubs. Fourteen thousand people were present. One of the Terre Hautentots says when the Chicagoes made the second run the audience went wild. Hats were tossed in the air and the cushions of the seats were thrown in all directions. After five minutes of wildness the audience quieted down, only to be greeted by the New Yorkers with, "Hear the countrys yell."

THE OLD SETTLERS' PICNIC.—The old settlers' picnic promises to be a success. A large number of invitaticms have been sent out. Arrangements are being made to have a grand shooting tournament, and shooting clubs from different parts of the state have been invited.. The tournament is under the supervision of Mr. Al. Schaal. One of the attractions will be a shooting match by the old settlers, who will use the old-fashioned squirrel rifle.

THfi EXPBESS, TEBEE HAUTE, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 2f 1885.

VIGO AHEAD.—During the fair Collector Hanlon sent two large pumpkins to a friend in New Albany. They were raised on Mr. Schaal's farm and weighed 104 and 117 pounds. A Harrison county farmer, hearing of the large pumpkins raised in Vigo, sent a pumpkin to New Albany which he declared would out weigh the Vigo monsters. When it was put on the scales it weighed only seventy- f0r the baby, nine pounds.

The choking up of San Francisco har bor by the debris from the mines washed down the Sacramento river is intensifying the bitter feeling against the miners.

A young Frenchman, who ought to have been an Irishman, was desperately in love with a young lady who always stoutly refused to listen to his appeals "Why don't you get married?" said a friend to him one day.

The Severn tunnel in England, four miles and a half long, was opened on Sep tember 5. The distance was made by five carriages in eighteen minutes. It can scarcely be called one of the great tunnels.'
