Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland left a hotel at the seashore two weeks before she intended to depart because the enterprizing landlord proposed to turn to good account the presence of the president's sister at his hotel. Rose Elizabeth did not show the same delicacy of feeling when a publishing firm proposed to pub lish some essays written by the president's sister.

Washington C. Whitthorne, appointed by the Governor of Tennessee to succeed Senator Jackson in the United States senate, was in congress in the Forty-third, Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth congresses, He was chairman of the house committee on naval affairs which in 1876 investigated the Robeson administration and furnished the Tilden campaign with considerable ammunition. He was a confederate brigadier is a man of only moderate ability, and is appointed no doubt to fill a gap and to make way for aspiring candidates for the place at the hands of the legislature.

It must be said to the president's predit that he went outside of the Pan-Electric Tennesseeans when he chose a successor to Judge Baxter. Harris, Atkins and Casey Young, all

Pan-Electricians,

The question of government savings banks is being agitated by various semibenevolent societies. The two strongest points made by the advocates of the scheme are that many persons living in small towns and in the country would thus be enabled to deposit their savings, and that*bthers ia cities would be freed from the fear of losing their money by badly or corruptly managad savings banks. The scheme of these benevolently inclined people, as usual in such cases, takes into consideration only one phase of the situation. The advocates of the system do not in quire as to the province of the general government in taking such part in the affairs of the people or of the means and devices by which the general government could enter into the business. There is no thought given to the problem as to how the government could pay the interest except as a matter of charity, or in fact pay any of the expenses of the transaction. If the federal government is to be'turned into a public charity, the government savings bank would be one of the best plans that could be adopted.

A committee of congress has decided to recommend the imposition of a tax on oleomargarine. There is no statement that this is construed in the sense of "high license" in dealing with a deleterious article of food, but as protection for the man who [sells cow's milk butter. It is said that impure food is the toe that now confronts the public health. The scientists say oleomargarine is not only not harmful to the public health, but is more healthful than the product of the churn. Who are we to believe? What is to be done? These are questions aa vita! as the tariff, the coinage of the dollar of our daddies and free bait for those fishermen who sail from the United State* into Canadian waters. If we are to renounce the butter of the farm in favor of the butter of the city factory it would be well to have the fact made known as soon as possible. While not disclaiming implicit belief in the results of science, we still fling (o the butter made in the old fashioned way and «sk that it be protected from the encroachment? of so-called modern science, witchcraft and

been running the democratic party in that state for so ice years, and have been trying to put to one side Senator Jackson, who has been appointed to be Pnited States Circuit judge. Perhaps the president thought that, having appointed Garland, Johnston and Atkins to good offices, he had given the Pan-Electric its share of pap, not to speak of the possible profits resulting from the government's suit. ___________

The Jeiersonville justices of the peace have been making a great deal of money by marrying runaway couples from Kentucky. So profitable, indeed, has been this cla^s of legal business that they could afford to pay commissions to "run' ners" and "scalpers." Naturally, therefore, they are much incensed at the new justice among them, Keigwin, who married a couple for fifty cents, just as were some of our local magistrates at the course of Judge Mack, who was called upon to make two souls with but a single thought one, and remitted the fi— that is the fee to the bride. Again, David Wallace, happy in the possession of Zelda Seguin as a wife, recently performed, in his capacity as a justice of the peace in Owen county, the marriage cer^ emony "free gratis for nothing." If the other magistrates and clergy are full alive to the spirit of the times thay will lay a boycott on all who patronize these magistrates even unto the third and fourth generations.

I.. F. Perdue for some time has beer, telling his friends a cow story. A few days ago the Express reporter dropped in on Perdue, and, of course, listened to the story. Mr. Perdue is a lover of fiowere, and last fall concluded to put them in a safe place for the winter. He dug a pit on the sunny side ot the bam, put the flowers in and covered them with glass. Everything began to move along lovely until hecommenced to speculate on taking them out and enjoying the bloom and fragrance. One night the wind blew the fence down, and before morning a cow wandered into the yard and, of course, fell into the pit. The next morning a sad scene was presented to the gaze of Mr. Perdue. In the pit, mixed with broken flower-pots, glass and sash, was the family cow. The cow was gotten out with the aid of ropes, but the flowers— well, there were a few stems left.

But, telling cow stories, reminds the Express of tbe experience of a wellknown citizen who is at present serving on the board. He owned a blooded Jersey, and having read of the wonderful butter records of celebrated cows, he informed His colored man if h© would feed the cow well and cause her to make big record, he would give him ten dollars. The cow began to show an increase immediately. In a few days her record was pushed up to three pounds, and then to three and three-quarters. The owner felt pround, and slapped his friends on the back, and bragged about his cow. At the end of the week he wore a sorrowful expression, and it was noticed that the colored man was going about town seeking employment. Tho wonderful production of butter was accounted for At the end of the week a dairyman brought the owner of the cow a bill for cream, and on inquiry it was brought to light that the colored man had mixed the cream with the cow's milk, thus producing the yield of butter. "Is Lake Fluvanna in good condition?" an Express reporter asked Mr. Joseph Gilbert. "Splendid full of water and running over. But I am making another lake by the side of Lake Fluvanna." "Will it be as large as Lake Fluvanna?" "Yes, three times as large. It will require about three weeks' work to complete it. I am so rushed now that I cannot finish it until after harvest I intend it for a fishing lake. When completed will let in a stock of fine carp I have in a pond above." "What will you name the new lake? "I haven't decided on a name yet,

Will probably decide on some piscatorial name." "Don't do it. Call it Lake Gilbert." "We have a poetoffi.ee there by that name." "Call it Lake Joseph." "Yes, that would do."

Said Mr. E. Y. Debs, grand secretary and treasurer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen: "Grand Master Sargent and I will leave for the west to-morrow afternoon. We will hold the union meetings as heretofore

If there are any old soldiers in Terre Haute who served in the signal corps it would be well for them to correspond with J. Willard Brown, West Hartford, Mass. He is writing a history of the Veteran Signal corps of the United States, and desires information from every member. Members can give information of themselves, and of others that they know, The next reunion of the veteran signal corps will be held at Philadelphia, Au gust 26th.

Said a venerable citizen recently: "I have not voted at any election for many years, and do not intend to do so until the power of money is made to give away to the power of intelligence and social worth in the selection of public officers. There are many older men than I who have been disfranchised by this same outrageous measure of money influencing majorities."

"You will find that this question of the city grave yards will enter largely into the coming city election," said a recently elected officer Friday. "There are those who believe that the maintenance of the new cemetery by the city is a wrong put upon the people. It will certainly become an issue."

The jury in the case of Isaac Cottrell vs. the C. & E. I. Railway company, damages, returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, awarding damages to the amount of $$50. Cottrell alleged that he was thrown from a train.

Work was suspended on the Court house to-day on account of the rain. The stone work has reached the height of about 134 feet. There will be about thirty-seven feet additional work of that kind on the tower, when forty-eight feet of iron and copper work will follow.

The Firot Bella.

It is not generally known, says the Boston Globe, that the first meetinghouse bells made in this country were cast in the town of Abington, of which Rockland was formerly the eastern part About 1769 a deserter from the British army, named Gallimore, reached the town in the course of his wanderings. He was a bell founder by trade, and was employed by Colonel Aaron Hobart in this business. The air furnace in which the bells were cast was in what is now South Ahington. The first bell made was used at the old Congregational church, which was located where Hatherly hall now stands. The bell weighed nearly l.OOOpounds, and when it was being ofst Mr. Hobart tossed fifty silver dollars into the melting mass to give tone to the bril. After .years of semo* the old bell cracked and was recast

Mr. Hobart also began the mannfaetore of cannon and cannon balls about fhe commencement of the Revolutionary

war, and was the first person in the conntry who

At night we will hold a meeting at which representatives from every Firemen's lodge in the southwest system will be present, also the grievance committee. We will investigate the grievance of members of our order. Our mission west is principally to make investigations."

Said President Parsons: "When I was in Indianapolis, Wednesday, the state officers were surprised to learn that the Normal had 600 students. The State university has 201, and Perdue about 200, In fact, the Normal has nearly as many as both the State university and Perdue." "I believe the time is not far off when the Normal will have a thousand students," said the reporter. "When the High school is removed from the Normal building there will be plenty of room for a thousand," said Mr, Parsons. "If the state will encourage the school, it will reach that number before many years."

Lake Michigan.

Some ass, who fancied he was funny, has started the story that Lake Michigan is rising at the rate of four inches a year, says the Chicago Tribune, and will in the course of time drown out the city of Chi cago. If he had studied the useful sdence of Geography he would have learned that Lake Michigan has in its northeastern corner an outlet three to four miles wide and fifty odd feet deep called the Straits of Mackinaw, through which

that volume of surplus water which makes the the difference between what the lake gains from rains and its tributary streams and what it loses by evaporation. The general variations in the levd of Lake Michigan are mainly due to the influence of quite dry and very wet seasons. Local variations are due to the winds. When they blow strongly from the north and east they pile up the waters on the westers shore. When they are from the west the waters recede. If the outlet were dosed the lake would onlv have to rise a few feet to find its old channel, which leads to the Illinois valleyand thence to the Mississippi river. That ancient waterway is south of Chicago, some feet below the city level. So the capitalist need not be scand off from buying Chicago lots by an empty fear that they will be under water in a few years.

Communication of Thanks. At a recent meeting of the Hager Veterans, at which was presented to the company an elegant portrait of the late Captain Jahn B. Hager, the following communication of thanks was directoc to be forwarded to the donor: Miss Minnie Hager:

The Veterans are desirous of expressing their sincere and heartfelt thanks for your generous and valuable gift, which was formally presented to us by Comrade Hudson on Friday evening, the 9th inst.

Words fail to express the grateful emotions of our hearts on the reception of the portrait of onr late patron and comrade whose name we proudly bear, and whose memory we so fondly oherish. We knew him in war, we knew him in peace," pnd we knew him 'within the sacred pale of the Grand Army of the Bepublio, as others knew him not and so long as enough of the Hager Veterans are left to maintain our organization, so long it will be our highest honor to bear his name.

To you, his sole survivor, we are grateful, and we respectfully claim the privilege of considering you our ward, and assuring you that we are deeply interested in your future welfare and happiness.

The Use of Natural Gaa. It is said that the use of natural gas at Pittsburg, Pa., for manufacturing purposes is so general as to remove from the city its dirty and smoky appearance. Instead of smoke pouring fourth in douds, the sky is clear. The gas costs 20 per cent less than coal. The profits of the business are immense, Que cpmpan has a capital of $5,000,000 invested, am its revenue is $1,500,000 a year, affording dividends of 1 per cent per month, while a great surplus is being heaped up, Some wells have been yidding gas from fifteen to twenty-five years [and are still supplying all that is required of them.

A member of the Georgia legislature, who introduced a bill entitled "An Act to Regulate Railroad Fares in this State," soon received a call from a gentleman, who introduced himself as the president of a leading railroad, and added "Here is a pass for you over our road for five years.

DEATHS.

Edward C. Sweet, aged thirty years suscide by morphine poisoning. Ill two days died at St Anthony's hospital, April 15th.

Mrs. Bodine's testimony went to show that early yesterday morning she was aroused from her sleep by loud and continued pounding on the door. She asked who was there, and was told that it, made no difference, but for her to open the door or it wauld be broken down. Mrs. Bodine went to the window and blew a police whistle. The person at the door told her to call all the police she could, the more the better for him. The police call brought Officer Morgan, and then she opened the door, and discovered that the person who was doing the kicking, or pounding, was Officer McNdis. The officer's story is to the effect that he and Officer Morgan were on their way to roll-call, and while Morgan went to awake several men, who had requested him to call them early, he waited near the comer of Eighth and Main. While sitting there he saw a man dart up the stairway. The officer thought the man acted suspidously and followed, and supposed that he went into Mrs. Bodine's room. The board sustained the charge of conduct unbecoming an officer, but not the charge of drunkennere. The vote stood three to one for dismissal, Mr. Coffin voting in the negative.

There is said to have been some racy testimony before the board. A portion of it was to the effect that a police officer had an engagement to meet a girl in the building in which Mrs. Bodine resides, and that the girl requested Mrs. Bodine to have the hallway light turned low, but instead of turning it down she turned it on, and had the hallway &o light that the leer was afraid to go up.

McNelis wore badge No. 22. This is considered an unlucky badge. Four men who have worn it were dismissed from the force under ex-Chief Fasig, two under Vandever on the last republican force, and now follows McNelis.

SUPREME COURT.

Abstracts of Opinions Rendered Friday, April 16,1886. The following decisions were rendered April 16: 12,456. Joseph A. Naylor et al. vs. Martin W. Sidener. Montgomery C. C. Affirmed. Niblack, C. J.—(1.) No formal ruling will be made upon the sufficiency of the complaint aa a pleading in the action upon an appeal from an interlocutory order appointing a receiver. (92 lnd., 180, distinguished.) (2.) The facts show that the property ia dispute was transferred to the purchaser merely for the payment of certain indebtedness, and the appointment of a receiver of the property did not in legal effect rescind the contract of purchase as prayed in the complaint, but was simply a ohange of trustees. 12698. Peter J. Gosman vs. State ex. rel. Joseph J. Schmnaker. Dubois C. C.

Proprietor of cheap restaurant (examining- object)—"Looks like a shoe string."

Customer—"Well, sir, I found that in the soup." Proprietor (in alarm)—"Not so loud,

Customer—"You ought to be ashamed of-" Proprietor (in a whisper)—"Pray be quiet That old gentleman at the side table might hear you. He has been coming here regularly for six months, and never got a single thing thrown in with the regular dinner. It might make him feel slighted."
