There are at present t00 head of cattle in the pens at the distillery. Newhart's hominy mill ran all week on day run, consuming 1,600 bushels of corn daily.

Ellis' woolen mills ran about the same as last week. A very goon trade is reported in yarns.

Harrison & Herman's carriage factory was shut down the latter part of the week on account of a slight accident while running the machinery of the old wcolen mill.

Local poultry houses state the business in that line here equaj to the business transacted at the state oapital. Both Arthur Jordan and J. E. 'Sullivan have poultry houses in Indianapolis.

The repairs on the paper mill at Ells worth have been commenced, and as soon as possible the plant will be put in operation. New machinery has been added, and the capacity of the mill greatly7 increased. The boilers will be repaired, new stacks put up, and the engine thoroughly overhauled. The campany will make heavy paper a specialty, and to this end have added the new machinery. ....

HBAPOLITAIT SCENES.

Beggary Which la at Once an Amusement iaad Means of Subsistence.

Charles Dickens, hastily compiling his 'Italian Notes," has given the palm for beggars to the town of Pisa. Had he written more leisurely he would have done more justica—iadeed more justice

The Pisan beggars are a

to Naples.

Sturdy well-towomen, withhold, laughing faces, beg pence, and. are impertinent and shameless if they do not get them. In Italy no families are so large as the Neapolitan, and no people marry so frequently and so young. A family of Beven is usnal a family of ten is not unusnaL "The prudential check" is unknown. The Neapolitan housewife of this poorer class has no care. She makes no attempt to "faire l.e menage. She gives the little ragamuffin 'a soldi or two to get his dinner, and, like young Norval, his only care is to increase his jtorv, which be does by begging thus the parents dirtetly encourage their children, and the police authorities—look on and do not interfere. The result is just what might be expected. Naples is one of the moot populous cities in Europe and oae of the loveliest. 'Its harbor gives it diaect trade with all quarters of the world. The country round about it has the richness of a volcanic soil. Aad yet wander through its streetB, and poverty and squalor meet jou at all dtreeions.

Hels it may be said that at night the 1 -as dance to the music of the mosqaitos. s.ioh trade es there is in its streets is ai^ly in the bands of- .foreigners.

Tv place has a bad name and deserves a. in all countries there are thieves: but in few capitals north ef Naples neea the stranger be In snoh constant fear ef being robbed. It is said that things are improving* But so long as shameless, audacieus aad insolent begging is permitted, so long as the children, arc allowed to swarm about the streets without the slightest attempt at their reclamation or their education, the degradation of the beautiful city must remain a eonstant blot on the Italian government.

Bsstio Superstition*

CaMelP* tfagasins,

A phase of rustic humor which destined year by year (and happily so) to shrink further and yet further into obscurity, is that belonging to rural superstitions. It has not disappeared yet. Far from it. Dwellers in remote country districts are aware how frequently in the characters and modes of thought of their provincial-reared neighbors the ludicrous lovers on the borders of the sublime. A

My little bsdy's full of aln Aad over all i*placed a slria.

But, with all this, there is a cowardly skulking and a brutality that is not Italian but Oriental. No sight is more cor# mon along that hilly road leading from the famous Santa Lucia to the hight of Posilipo than to see miserable little horses, all bleeding and lame, tottering under the shafts of a cart weighed down with eight or ten corpulent Neapolitans, who flog it and kick it till it swerves and falls. At the corner of one well known street there is a bird shop wherfe you may buy nightingales, gold finches and robins. Sometimes a crowd of gamins is collected to witness a little surgical operation. Some charcoal burns in a brasiero, and the operator thrusts it intd a needle with a wooden handle. He then takes from a cage a recently caught blackbid, and with the red-hot needle puts out his eye. It needs much skillskill that only comes from practice—to do this successfully. An unsteady hand would prematurely kill, the bird.. In most instances, where the operation is successful', the birds do die, but that is only after a couple dajs of agony. You will see the patients in hanging around the shop, with the sightless eyes swollen to the size of a pes, but in the rare cases of recovery the bird sings briskly through the twenty four hours, day and nignt being the same to it. If a stranger ap preaches the Children leave the bird torturer to beg for soldi. The fat, round, cherub faces are thrust up into your own, the little hands point to the mouth, and you hear the familiar cry that is translated, "I am dying, I am dying of hun ger: give me a half-penny.' The truth Is tne children live on the strangers

populous or mere poor.

The mixture of the Moorish blood with the Italian has produced a race, among Europeans at all events, unexampled for beauty, cruelty, easy immorality and intolerable laziness. As you wander along the streets you hear snatches of Moorish music mixed with the true Neapolitan refrains, and you see faces, especially among the children of eight er nine, of quite incredible beauty. There are the familiar characteristics of the beautifully set brow, the facile smile, and the $yea, sometimes brown, sometimes blue, always expressive, and everything set off by a rich varnish of dirt. One is reminded of the old-fashioned nursery hymn:

Tbe bill of fare of a Sunday dinner furnished by one of these establishments, kept by an Italian, may be a curiosity to those who have never tested the sweets of economy. It was as follows v.-

My almanac told me I was to have changes this year. I looked all round, but couldn't so much as guess where they were to come from. But you see that after all the almanac was right and rve noticed it scores of times."

This same artisan stood sponsor on another occasion for a statement so curious as to be worthy of reproducing as a specimen of the humor not simply of rural, but of.technical superstition also. He was descanting on various occult influences of the heavenly bodies—a favorite topic with a congenial audience. "The moon's power is very remarkable," he said "as is well known and admitted, it rules the tides. "And it likewise makes a wonderful difference

The Human llaoe

Some one recently made public the remark that if the whole human race were divided into families of five persons each, the State of Texas is large enough to supply half an acre of land to each family. The statement surprised some people, and not a few ef them declared hastily, withoat performing the necessary calculations, that it could not be true.

But it ia true. There are supposed to be about fourteen hundred million persons living on the globe. A half acre to each family of five would require one acre for ten persons or one hundred and s^ty-two thousand square miles, or nearly one hundred and eighty-eight million acres. Consequently there would be a surplus of almost twenty-eight millions left oyer after every family was provided for, whijsK would be sufficient for four or five times thfi present population of the United States.

Not many people realise how little space would be needed to accommodate the whole human race assembled in one place. Suppose we were to fancy every human being forming one of a vast congregration seated in 1,400,000,000 essy chairs, each occupying a square yard

LITERARY NOTICES.

Hail's Journal of Health has lost none of the excellence that has given it so wide reputation. In the September namber "Natural Sleep" is discussed, its importance is set forth, and valuable -suggestions offered whereby insomania may be remedied, if not entirely cured. "Tbe Healing Power" is interestingly treated in an artiele from the Laws of Life, and there are others, giving much practical and useful information respecting th« improvement and preservation of health.

The Cosmopolitan for October is quite as excellent as the preceding numbers, The illustrations are admirable, and the contents fresh, pleasing and varied. The habits of ants are minutely described in an article on "Ant Life," accompanied by numerous drawings. "Bijah's Relict" is a delightful story by Katie Putnam Osgood, and "A Russian Fury," by Mr. W. M. Allen, is an interesting account of the mother of Turgeniefi, the novelist, who lived upon her vast estates in Russia, and ruled her thousands ot serfs with the cruelty of an Oriental autocrat. The household department is furnished with the usual excellent matter, while |the stories for children are equally good. A bachelor describes the difficulties and anxiety ol tl»e proposal, and furnishes the practical maiden of the present age some wise advice as to how she may strip the ordeal of its terrors and aid" in the happy concluding of the uncertainties of courtship.

FIFTY-CENT DINNERS.

How Cheaply New Yorkers Cam B«t la tn First-Glass Style. Nsw Tsrk Star.

There is a sign in white and black which is so conspicuously placed upon the sidewalk of a West side avenue that it is sure to attract the attention of all who may pass that way to a restaurant, ia the window of which is displayed a variety of viands and other articles connected with their service. There are raw beefsteaks, tomatoes, dyspeptic-look-ing pies, hanks of corn bread, and nap kins twisted into a variety of fantastical shapes and stuck into various assortments of tumblers and goblets.

The si^n reads: •QOD SQT7ARX MEAX, 25' CENTS. PERFECT GOBGB, 50 CENTS. The grossness with which the public is informed that it can be gorged with food at this eating. house for the modest sum of fifty cents, and can be satiated moderately for the insignificant trifle of a quarter, no doubt deters iiany from testing their digestive capacity at its board, and stamps the whole establishment as a resort of the vu'gar. There are, however, very many restaurants about town that have sprung up within a few years past, that furnish for half a dollar a most excellent meal, and it is surprising to see to what an extent they are finding patrons among a class of people who sev eral years ago would have efevated their noses at "anything so-cheap. -These res'taurants are mo6tly kept by Frenchmen and Italians, and are the table d'hotes of the demi-fortune. It is no longer necessary for one to pay a dollar or- a dollar and a half for a table d'hote dinner, nicely served, in addition to being well cooked. It has been said that in order to dine well the eye mnst be gratified as well as the palate, and it would seem that the proprietors of many of the cheap restaurants referred to, and-which are scattered over various parts of the city, have taken great pains to cater as much to tbe organ of vision as of taste.

The new cover for Wide Awake is a thing of beauty. Its design is a band of conventionalized dog-wood blossoms in -inlr and gold on a ground of pale grt&a. the contents are in keeping with this attractive exterior, in typography, illustrations and the quantity and quality of its reading matter. The opening story, "The Gypsy Monkey," is by Sophie May, which is sufficient guarantee of its excellence. "A Tiny Tale of Travel," by Celia Thaxter, is a charming bit for very little folks. "The Crew of the Casabianea" is continued, while "The Heroism of Mrs. Hendee," by Katherine B. Foote, is a thrilling narrative of the Indian raid

on Royalton, Vermont, in October, 17S0 "The Clocks of Kenilwoith" is a charming poem by Hezekiah Butterwerth, and "Autumn Fashions" is a contribution in verse from Edith M. Thomas, all of whibh are only an example of the feast •f good things which the editors have iven their readers in the number for tctober.

The frontispieoe of the October Century is a fine portrait of Bjornstjerne Bjornson, the eminent Norwegian poet, engraved by Kru^y. It accompanies an article by H. L. Braekstad which, among its illustrations, includes the poet'B house and a view of his study. In "Gloucester Fishers," by Franklin H. North the perils and excitement of cod fishing are graphically related. Helen Gray Cone contributes a short story, "A Summer Mood." In "American Explorers in Assos," is the fruit of the careful research of a. well-equipped expedition sent out to the Aegean in 1881. Thedarwings which accompany it are from temple relief, the city walls, tombs and monuments. The Biography of Lincoln, which is to be a prominent feature of the magazine for the coming year, is introduced by a paper on John G. Nicolay and John Hay, who have been selected for the important wt rk, and is accompanied by portraits of both. Frapk Dempster|Shurman, Frank Tooker andLouis Chandler Moulton contribute poems, and the war papers abound in interest and in copious illustrations like those that have preceded them. Mrs. Leeks and Mrs. Aleshine have an addition to the limited society of the island in the persons of the Rev. Mr. Enderton and daughter, missionaries to China, and a sailor. Their adventures became more complicated and amusing to the conclusion, where a wedding disposes of the hero in the natural manner and under the most improbable und unforeseen circumstances. In the "Minister's Charge" the trials of Lemuel Barker continue, with as little inkling of their ultimate termination as in the former chapters. "Common Schools Abroad" is the title of a scholarly paper by Matthew Arnold while the miscellaney touches upen an extensive .ajray^of^ timely and leading topics.

Arbitration has become an established cuBtom, and thiough

society, in the

future, may look for an amicable adjustment of its social, political and commercial difficulties. In the North American Review for October, Prof, Richard T. Ely presents the various aspects of the subject, with the leading arguments for and against. He traces the growth of the so called labor question, and with it the corresponding development of arbitration, as the defense of workiiigmen against tbe encroachment of capital. Five years ago, he has discovered, a person writing upon what is comprehensively termed the labor problem, was. critized ss one dealing with pure imagination bnt the movement of social events has proceeded with surprising and unexpected rapiditjc, and the existence of a labor problem of omino'-u proportions can now neither be evaded nor denied. In "An American Queen" Gail Hamilton pays tribute to Zilpah P. Grant, daughter of Joel Grant and Zilpah Cowles, reared in all the severity of Puritan customs and traditions, and preceptress in the Adams Female academy, which was maintained by the first legacy ever left for the academic education of women. Other important articles are "Silver and Savings Banks," by Willis S. Paine, L. L, D. "Labor in Pennsylvania," by Henry George, and "Earthquake Probabilities," by Professor Richard A. Proc-

Christianity," by is an able paper,

in which the writer concludes incineration is not in any sense a question for the church to settle, aad that $nal words of spiritual comfort may be spoken as well above a body in the chapel of a crematory as over one lying at the leeward gangway pf a ship at sea, or upon a bier beside a grave. Burial will obtain so long ss the majority demand it, and when tbe same majority demand cremation it will become an established custom. Mrs. Liuermore makes a dignified and logical reply to

Notes and Comments relate to the Charleston earthquake and the chances of fnture destructive earthquakes in the United 8tates to the disintegration of Cleopatra's needle, under the effects of our climate, and to other matters of importance and interest.

Death of a Popular Composer. New York World.

The composer of "Simon the Cellarer," "Good-by, Sweetheart, Good-by," the "Friar of Orders Gray," the "Leather Bottle," and a host of other songs which have entertained three generations of Englishmen, died suddenly at Margate oa Monday, at the ripe age ef 77. John Liphot Hatton had led a curious life. Born at Liverpool, almost entirely selftaught in music, he came to London at the age of 23 and became pianr ist at the Drury Lane theater. He went to America iu 1848 and returned to direct the orchestra for Qharles Kean at the Princess', for which theater he wrote incidental music, as well as for most of the Shakespearean

a other productions of the Keaa aituMuement. Hatton never gained much money by his songs. James Davison us«tl to tell a Mory about that album of nineteen melodies, including the famous „"Tb Althea," set tc words by Herrick. Johnson Sedley offered ten of them to the leading music publisher for a £5 note, but was refused by all of them for a considerable time. Afterward "To Althea" was worth a hundred times that amount per year. feX-.

POLITICAL POINTS.

The Hon. Joseph E. McDonald speaks this week in Rush county. General" Lew Wallace is engrossed with litterary work and will take little active part in the campaign.

General Packard, of South Bend, ioke at Labor hall last night. He is ~ae chosen candidate for the workingmen, and they tmrn ont en masse to hear him.

Senator Voorhees may speak in every congressional district in the state, bat he will be particularly eloquent in the Third, the Twelfth and the Second, where his efforts will be private as well as public.

The Democratic central committeeihave taken advantage of the Knox county fair, which will be in session next week, to secure an audience for Governor Gray. He is announced for Wednesday night and the Commercial pertinently protests against manipulating the'occasion for political purposes.

The Evansville Courier believes that the election of Colonel Citarles H. Butterworth would be in every way fitting and satisfactory. It recommends him as being a sound lawyer of great firm ness and judicial temperament, added to which "is the fact that he went to the front and fought the good fight when the Union was in danger.

Judge D. P. Baldwin is one of the most able and scholarly men among Indiana* Republicans, where men of his stamp are numerous. Wherever he speaks his logic carries conviction to the unregenerate souls of the Democracy. Judge Baldwin has endowed two prises in Wfcbash college which are given annually, one for proficiency in English composition and oratory anS the other for proficiency in Greek. In the former each contestant receives a copy of shakespeare, and the successful candidate $60 in addition to this.

Siugular Phenomenon.

Friendship (N. T.) Beg later.

During the severe storm that visited this place last Thursday night, the thnn ders eeased for a time and the heavy wind that was blowing almost a hurricane drove what the inmates thought to be hail stones with much force against the dwellings in the Northern part of the towa. After the storm, however, the walks aad roadways Were found to be literally covered with very small shells, which, when placed under a magnifying glass, were foHnd to be perfectly formed snail shells. Mr. C. S. Lane has sent a quantity to. the Smithsonian institute, siting the particulsirs, and requesting an explanation of the phenomena.

Sate, reliable, harmless, and cheap is Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. We do not wonder at its popularity.
