There are peopie who, it is well known, have a morbid tasie for corpses and funer !a. They are informed that a Mrs. Ashton, of Factoryville, Pa., had been to every burial except three^ia tier own and adjoining.counties, while crowding the mourners tin the eix-hun-dredrb, she droppfdj3^ad^^rself.

Under any*4$id in all circumstances life becomes monotonous. People think, B2^»tid do precisely the same things. [•Fashion sends forth the decree and there is a change in garments, in surroundings, in amusements and the very food whereby health and strength are maintained. But it is o&ly temporary, for there is, inevitably, a leturn to the customs and the fashion! of a former period, which, although modified seme what, are, intrensically the same.

And this sameness and repetition constitute trvnuye, abhorred by the French, and dreaded by mankind in general There is no barbarian who does not seek to vary the routine of his existence in some way and his endeavor is imitated in civilization where the opportunities for change and variety are, seemingly, greater. Bat, after all, life

keenest delights are transitory. Both will serve their purpose in the mj stery' I of riesttay, and be ended forever.

To the covsrd this thought is fall ol dread to the strong and the conragouB it is the whole philosophy of life. There is, also, compensation in the tendency of human minds to anticipate good rather than evil. It is the good to which the world looks fotward to-day, expecting and believing that it will be generously bestowed before the advent of another New Year's day. The possible tribo lations are not considered.

The Chicago Journal remarks that certain D. moeratic. journals, which never had a good word to say for Logan while he was living, are now lauding him to the skies. Unfortunately, there are newspapers, professedly Republican, which may be int luded in the same category.

Anew postoffice has been eetablisnsd on the J., M. I road and the people in that region, or others responsible, could think of no better name for it than "Champion."

Clote or Their Session nt Indianepolit— Dr. Soovill's Talk on Vigo County. The Academy of Science ot Indiana, which has been in session at Indianapolis several days, adjourned Tharsday. The following officers weie elected for the ensaii year:

President—J. M. Coulter, Crawfordsrille. Vice, presidents—3. P. D. John, Owencastle, J. C. Branner, Bloomingtun, and T. C. Mendenhall, Terre Haute.

Seoretarv—A. W. Butler, Brookville. Treaturer—O. P. Jenkins, Terre Haute. The next session of the academy will ha held May 19 at some place hereafter to be determined upon. At Thursday's session Piofessor W. A. Noyes read a paper on "Oxidation of P#iaxyleneJ3ulphamide by Potassium Ferricyanide." It was not of a character to absorb the interest of any but chemists or those somewhat acquainted with the wonders of that science. Professor J. T. Hcovill, of this city, for some time talked both of the geoloey of Vigo county and "The Niagara River." Referring, under the latter theme, to the several theories of the formation of that river channel, he ?aid that one of the scientific suppositions was that the waters of Lake Erie and Oaario were together, but then a period of recession began. Early in the century on actual surveys it was estimated that this recession was at the rate of a foot eich year. A later survey extended it to two and one-half feet, apd one completed this year shows the recession ot the waters to be two and a few hundredths feet per year. He doubted that th« present gorge was produced by the present river, but this continuous recc ion has given a new channel tar a new river, Accepting thes9 periods of recession it is thought by soma geologists

I ha? the present chan^l has liot h^n formed more than f.om 7,000 to 10,000 years, »ud a ft?/ estimate the origin of the present channel and river as early as 3.000 years go. But with all this he said that a channel from lake Erie to lake Ontario had not been discovered. Po this a gentleman took exception and announced the discovery as a matter of record.

STATE PRESS.

Greenciistle Times: "It is told of Mr Geo. W. OhihJa that he gave away this year $25 000 in Christmas presents to bis employes and others. Mr Childs' heart is the one model in the newspaper world after which every man would build."

Evansville Courier: "There will not be much legislation done in Indianapolis this wiDtcr, but the legislature owes it to the people to make a reasonable increase in the liqnor license. Tu« Democratic platform pledged the party to this policy and the people will expect the repre s^ntatives to keep faith with them. There ought to be no hesitation about the adoption of a law increasing the license on retail dealers in liquors."

Sichmond Palladium: "The Democratic witness in the election frauds investigation at Indianapolis are beginniog to contradict each other directly in their testimony. The later witnesses are all knownothings and give the uniform answer 'I don't know' to nearly every ques tion propounded. There is likely to be a good deal of pe jury during the investigation, and probably a good mmy Joe Maekics will have to be disposed cf ?fter the examination closes."

Morgan County Qsaette: "We are 'forftinst' the libt-1 law of Indiana, be Cause it gives irr sponsible scoundrels a chance to blackmail their supeiiors. We are for a whipping-post for wife-beaters, because w? think it the best mode of d»aii witb such low-lived creatures. We are for lopal option and high license in regard to thaliquor traffic, because we are convinced th?t it is the or 1 practical way, at present, ot Jcpvemi. st that question. We hope the Vs' l«yi*lature this state will regard ik®88. ideas as direct pointers in the line\ *ls legislative duty."

LOGAN.

[COKTISCKD MOM FIWI PAGK,]

timM usee 1859, when thi* chamber was first occupied, has he thrown his shadow then. &*s rested in peace Senator Hicks, of Maryland. Here lay the form of Foote, of Vermont, once the presiding officer of the censte. Here wts laid the msjeatic form of Summer, learned^ eloquent,philanthropic. Hence was born?, by friendly hands, Wilson, who came forth from obscurity to occopy the second place in the government of a free eople. And, but ns yesterday, wc stood jere around the bier of Miller, pat riot and soldier, who tieeps in peace in the state he loved so well. And where else than here, in this place of honor, the arena of his greatest cervices and triumphs, where he displayed his eminent talents in statesmanship. wht&e he was respected by all for the purity of his intentions, the ardor of his patriotism, the courage of his conviction", the power of his logic, and bis unselfish djsvotion to the public good—where else than here should Lo gan be honored with the rites of bnrial?

He was of honorable parentage. Hi's mther's genius and his mother's beauty blending in sweet harmony to blees his childhood Ir.sh brilliancy and Scotch solidity combined in his temperament, while he stood forth

THE TRUE AMERICAN,

and the typical man of the West, of whom his nation is justly proud. From them he inherited his splendid physique, his capacious intellect and his loyal, loving, generous heart. In that Christian home his young intellect was developed, and his young heart was taught thit divine religion fro.n which he never wavered and when the homestead was broken up, all he claimed and all he took wss the old family Bible.

Of his power in'the nation there canbe no queetion. Macauley has said that men eminent in learning, in statesmanship and in war, are not fully appreciated by their contemporaries, but that posterity does uot fail to award them full justice. A greater man than Macauley nas said: "A prophet is not without honor save in his own country." It is difficult for those who have not had the special advantages of the schools in early life to gain a reputation for mental cul are and intellectual attainments, but it is sufficient to say that whatever posi tion Logan occupied, he was always in the front. If a strong reason, a sound judgment, a capacious and retentive memory, a vigorous and warm imagine tion and comprehensive understanding are essential to high intellectuality, thm LOGAN RANKS AMONG OUB FOJBEJtOST

AMONG MEN.

But wherein consists that strange charm of his personality that falls upon our spirits to day like a holy enchantment? Whence tbis magic spell of his presence? Whence the secret of the power of that one life upon fifty millions 4I people? Is it sufficient to say that parentage was honorable, that his in%as rich in its acquired treasures, was the foremoH statesman of thu w*st?

Is it su^nt

Others are great in scientific attainments, in the polish of literature, in the acquisition of languages, but who ex' celled him in the useful information of ecience and literatnre, and last, in knowledge of his country, its history, iis resources, its wants, its possibilities, its hopes? Let his vast and well chosen library, rich in ell learnin?, proclaim his love for books. Like Webster, he bad the rare faculty to extract by inetioct the pili il a volume th»t cai »o his hAnt). fireikctually, his rivals under estimated him hU friends never fiiliy appreciated him his admirers never over-valued him. lie was a prodigious brain worker, indefatigable in application, tireless in energy. He called upon all sources of knowledge to aid him in bis purpose His was a lite of intellectual activity. From hi» admission to the bar at the age of twenty-five, to his place in the state legislature, to his pla'ce in eon gross and to his position as senator, he has left the impress of bis intellect upon the national legislation of the country which enters into it* history for the las twenty-five years. What great measure of congress is without hi* honored name? Future generations will read his speeches with wonder and admiration, and his great speeches on the ''Impeachment/' on "Education," on "The Army," his eulogy on "Thomas," his defense of "Grant," his arraignment of Porter," will be esteemed masterful among forens:c efiorts. In all his legislative li'e he was never crushed in debate. Some men have the flower of language JjOGAN bad the flower of language,

He had the eloquence of logic, and could raise metaphor into argument. He resembled not so much the beautiful river whose broad stream winds through richmnd varied scenery, but that which cuts a deep 8nd rapit* channel through rugged rocks and frowning wilds, leaving the impress of its power in the productiveness through which it passes, which, hut for it, would remain desolate and barren. His was not the music of the organ with its varied stops and minxling harmonies, but rather the sound of the trumpet, waxing louder and louder, piercing the caverns of the earth and resounding through the encircling heavens. It is a venerable saying of scripture that the "day of a man's" death is better than the day of his birth." When in the" stil'ness of the holy Sanbath his noble soul left our presence Logan was the foremmt statesman of the mighty West. And hereafter and forever Illinois will have her illnatfieus trinity of national greatness—Lincoln, the greatest of statesmen Grant, the greatest of professional soldiers Logan, the greatest volunteer general produced by this country.

We must look deeper, and search with keener insight, for the secrwt of his immense power over his country. His was a changeless sincerity. He was never in mvf uerade. He was transparent to a fanlt. He had window in his heart. He was never in disguise He was as you sawhim. Never did geometrician •frf bring proposition and demonstration in closer proximity than was the correspondence between Logan's character ana appearance. He was Logan every time. His was the soul of honor. He had an innate contempt for everything low, mean, intriguing. He was an open and honorable foe. He had a triple ourage, which imparted to him immense strength. His physical bravery knew no fear. His moral heroism w^S sublime. But above these was the courage of his intellect 8ome men have brave souls in cowardly bodies. The cheek cf others is never blanched by ihysical danger, but few rise to the Mgbeat form ef courage. Logan never committed treason against fcis intellect. He thonght for himself, and spake what he thought. He was loyal to his own Conclusions. Friendship could not deter him enemies could not make him afraid. A great name could not daunt

ed to him, but it was tite *pu ileetual courage. HE WAfl TOT SOUL OF HOSMTY. He lived in times of great corruption, when the strongest mea of bath parlies fell, either blasted by public exposure or by ignorant denunciation. But Logan was untouched. He was above suspicion. The smell of fire was noc on his garment*, but after Ave years in warand twenty five yean In congressional life, Logan was poor in puiae, but rich in com name. To his only son, who bears the image and name of his immortal father, he could have left ill-gotten fortunes, but he lett him that which is far above rubies. Like Ariatides, Login can say, "These hands are clean." He had a

Oh brave and unselfish soul! how thou hast been misunderstood, MISJUDGED AND MISREPRETESTED, defamed and wronged by those who today are the beneficiaries of thy noble life. These defamations wounded his proud and sensitive spirit. If he seemed to take affront when assailed in debate, it was for the cause he represented and net from personal pride. There were times when bis ardent tamperament mastered bis. self-control. He was a sensitive, high spirited, chivalric sonl. He had pride of character and power of passion. He knew bis power, but_ be waa a stranger to vanity. Hi* passionate nature waa intense. His emotional being resembled the -ocean. The passions of love, joy, hepe, dtsire, grief, hatred and anger, were stiength to tiitn. He would love like a woman, sport like a child, hope like a saint. His grief was intense, his hatred inveterate. HU anger burned like a raoun ain on fire. He alternated between profound cilms and furious storms. H*s' calms were like eaibowe ed lakes, their placid bosoms mirroricg the overhanging foliage of the grassy bmkp. His agitations were like mountain torrents, leapiog, dashing. thundering down their ruged course! sweeping all before them. When com posed, tbe ocean of hia emotions was so placid that a little child migbt sail its frai ile bsat thereon, but when agitated, the great deep was troubled with the heavens drowned, tounder answered tbunder. The ethereal air gleamed and burned, wave mounted wave, and the whole armaments were scattered before the fury of the storm. is is the key to the warmth of his friendship and the bit'ernessof his enmity.

He had an honorable ambition, bat it was above corruption and intrigue. In his manliness be did not hestitate to proclaim his desire, no? disguise his noble aspirations. From his very nature he became

THK SOLDIERS' FRIEND.

It was his tenderness of nature that made him the friend of every soldiet in the war. In piping times of peace we forg' those who fought for us. Not so with Logan. He carried tbe scars of the war through each receding decade, and lived among its stirring memories. He maintained close lelations to the veter ans. Thrice he was elected commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. As chairman of the committee on military afiairs he was in a position of power. To-day the 350,000 veterans in the Grand Army of the Republic, from 6,000 posts, feel that they have lost a friend. To-day 622.000 pensioners bless his memory. To day 230,000 widows and orphans breathe a prayer to Heaven for the peace of his sonl. To-day the spirits of 350,000 patriot soldiers, 'slain in the war, gather around the great soul of Logan and thank him that on each returning 30th day of May their graves are not forgotten, but are covered with flowers The d* signation of that day for memorial services was suggested by Logan, and he was wont to say: "It was the proudest act of my life." And to day could the three hundred and fifty thousand patriotic dead rise from their graves, each with a memorial floWer in his hand, there would riee a mountain to the skies, the perfume of which would ascend in gratitude to the God of battles. Logan deserved such a mountain of flowers. He himself is a martyr of liberty. Let me show these five scars of wounds he received ia battle for the love of his country.

But would you know him in his power —estate, happiness, tenderness and affection,

AS HUSBAND AND FATHER,

go to his home, where purity, peace and love reigned supreme. There his inner life was displayed without restraint. There was his retreat from the vexatious cares of public life. The wedded love of thirty one happy ears. She who his youthful pride and choice, was supreme and constant delight. He was her tower of strength, she was the joy of his soul. He was her honorable, the confidant of his secret thoughts. He was taithful to his bridal vows she reciprocated his divided love. Such a home was the dream of his life. Upon the western hills that overlooked our nasi capital he found thaw sweet, sweet where he had hoped to spend yet appy year, and with Goldsmith

Bluff, steady, honest Logan was a Christian in faith and practice. Here is the Bible which he read with daily care. Sincere and ha coble he accepted Christ as his personal Savior. When I gave bias the sacrament of the Lard's Supper, too humble in spirit to kneel on the cushion around the altar, be knelt on the carpet, and with bis perioua wife by hia side, received the token ot a Savior's love. His manly brow shone like polished marble, for he felt that he was ia toe pew

self abnegation which asked no other re- flghter against tho South daring tbe war, acd ward-than the conicionsneas of duty done. Loyalty to duty was his standard of manhood. When another was appointed to the command which Ms merits and victories entitled him Jto have, he did not sulk in his tent of disappointment, but fonght on for tbe eause which was dearer than promotion. When duty demanded the exposure of corruption in bis own party, he preferred his country to partisan ties. When he was convinced that a distinguished officer was unworthy a nation's confidence he did not hesitate to incur the displeasure off iends and the denunciation of enemies. When in 1862 his friends in Illinois urged him to leave the army «nd re-enter congress, he made this reply: "No, I am to day a soldier of this republic, so to retain, changeless and immutable, until her last and weakest enemy ahall have expired and passed away. I have entered th^ field to die, if need be, for tbis government, and never expect to return to peaceful pursuits nntil the object of this war of preservation has become a fait established. Should fate so ordain it, I Will esteem it as the-higheet privilege a just dispenser can afford to shed the lis: drop of my veins for the honor of thatjflag whose emblems ate justice, liberty and truth, and which has been, and as I humbly trust in God, ever will be, for the right."

TWO MILES IN ONE MINUTE.

The Terrible Ran of Passenger Cars on the Canadian Pacific P«atengera Killed.

Toronto, Ont, December 31.—A thrilling account of trip on a wild-cat train down the Rocky mountains is told by Wm, Tiltia, a trr.veler, who has just ar arrived here on the Canadian Pacific railway from British Columbia. Lsst week two cars of a passenger train, while being hairied up the steepest grade in Kicking Hone pass, which is one inch to the foot for nearly two miles, broke loose from the locomotive, and comenced a mad career down the mountain side. The brakes were frozen and could not ba applied with effect. Some of the twenty occupants in the car tried to rise but tfie speed was so great they could not stir from their seats. The cars reached a safety switch a distance of two miles from the piece they broke loose from the locomotive,in one minute. The passenger car caught the safety switch and was piled on the opposite incline, a complete wreok. The hsffgage ear, which did not contain any passengers, went on down the main line and did not leave the track. A number of passengers were killed and others received fatal injuriea Some miraculously escaped almost injured.

Writt. by tike Distinguished Author ol Bra Her. ,, Inter-Ooesn. ajj-

General Lew Wallace's second novel, is nearly half finished in manuscript, and it is"believed that the author will complete it io lime for publication in March next. It will be a romance with the scene laid in Constantinop'e, and among the graphic pictures in the book will be a battle, the description of which promised to rival in picturesqueneis and strength the famous cbariott race scene in "Ben Hur." It is the present novel that was written by General Wallace at the personal suggestion of President Garfield when the former called at the White House to receive his commission as minister of Turkey. "I hope, general," was Garfield's words to bis minister as they were wishing each other good-bye, "to read another novel of your proa action before you return from abroad." Ever since that time the story and the characters have been shaping'themselves in the author's mind.
