At Indianapolis the police find away to suppress gambling, even though the gambling rooms be located in a hotel. A professional gambler had kept such a place for along time and it seemed that the police could not get to him, but perseverance was rewarded and the mayor fined each of the men caught in the place 825 and costs. All Terre Haute needs is a few officers of tho law of the kind they have at Indianapolis.

The Brazil Enterprise proposes to get rid of the "vexatious surplus" in the following way: First, the passage of a uniform pension bill placing every surviving Union soldier, and the widows of the dead ones, on the rolls second, the erection of government buildings for the use of all second-class postoffices third, the providing of an American navy to carry the American mails across the seas and last to spend some money on coast defences. About three millions also could be honestly applied to the war claims of this state against the general govern ment.

Our Washington correspondent furnishes additional Information concerning the true Inwardness of the Carllsle-Thoebe contest. It Is evident that the case contains the materials for a great sensation If the bottom facts can be brought out.—[Indianapolis Journal.

It is about time that the Washington correspondents stop sending out specials pooh-poohing the contest for the seat of Mr. Carlisle. The Republican newspapers have gone to the extreme of courtesy toward the speaker, and the Journal's correspondent among the rest has been decrying the merits of Thoebe's case. Once before this same distinguished consideration was shown to a Democratic speaker of the house at a time when his own committees were engaged in drag-net, slander-breeding investigations of Republicans based on not onehalf the foundation that existed for the charges against tho speaker himself.

The city council of Lafayette has removed the captain of the police force and adopted an order that hereafter fhe forco shall attend strictly to the duty of protecting citizens and not be running about the country in search of rewards. It seems that the captain and a member of the council had captured a stolen horse and put it in a stable while they went to the owner to induce him to give a reward.

This makes a Terre Haute citizen have a fellow-feeling for the Lafayette people. It is this blackmailing system of getting "rewards" that has been occupying the attention of the police officials here for years, and of late it looks as if some of the members of the council had concluded to strike up a partnership with these officials in using their official positions.

William Shelby, of Rutland, Vt., was a member pf the Salvation Army and remarkably vigorous in his religious demonstrations. The other day he became suddenly insane, stabbed his 7-year-old daughter in the back with a jackknife, had a hard tussle with his 10-year-old boy, whom he trampled on and hurt severely, and then rushed into the street, shouting and praying. He was engaged in this when he was arrested.

Dr. C. A. White thinks he has solved the mystery of what becomes of all the antlers that deer shed every year. Although the antlers when the deer is killed before they are removed will withstand all weathers for years, it is very rarely that a pair that have been shed are found. Dr. White asserts that he has discovered a small insect that attacks the antlers and within a short time after they are shed destroys them by burrowing through and through them.

"THE MAN ON HORSEBACK."

Before long the people will be treated to a view of Dr. Talmage in the saddle. The great tabernacle preacher has always been fond of athletic exercises. Until now, however, he has confined himself to pedestrianism.

But Brooklyn will soon see him in the role of "the man on horseback." His election to the chaplaincy of the Thirteenth, to succeed Mr. Beecher, was an eminently appropriate selection, and he will discharge his whole duty. In the movements of the command the Plymouth pastor manifested the deepest interest. Well do I remember the night of his first appearance in uniform. When he returned to his home on Columbia Heights, after the regimental review, he almost frightened Colonel Beecher and his estimable wife into hysterics by the clatter he made as he ascended the stairs. I had gone round to the house to interview him on some political matter, and was chatting with the family as he marched into the apartment. To amuse the young people he had made himself look as ridiculous as possible. His sword he dragged between his legs. His chapeau sat awry on his frosted locks. With a mock heroic expression he puffed out his cheeks, expanded his broad chest, and declared that he looked terrible enough to devour a whole army. His appearance would indeed have been majestic but for his evident intention to imitate General Baum. The sly twinkle in his big bright eyes and the smirk in the corner of his expressive mouth dissipated any suggestion of martial dignity and revealed his great fund of humor. From that moment he was more or less inclined to regard the office as a relation not destitute of ludicrous aspects.

On horseback Mr. Beecher was not a majestic figure. Nevertheless, before hi* response to the final roll-call hi* eques­

trian abilities developed handsomely,and there was many a younger officer in the old First division of the National guard who acknowledged his superiority. Dr. Talmage has entered into the spirit of his regimental relation with characteristic ardor, and I doubt not that his prancing steed will be well in hand when next the guardsmen march out on parade. His identification with the regiment is an immense benefit to the command. He is about the only clergyman in the local pulpit who could have assumed to fill Beecher's place.

CLAYPOOL APPOINTED

To Assist Mr. Seller* in the Prosecution of the Tally Sheet Cases.

The committee of one hundred, says the Indianapolis News, and all others who are interested in the enforcement of the laws against the tally sheet forgers, have reason to be gratified at the results of the efforts of Mr. William Henderson, to get the department of justice at Washington to take some action toward assisting in the prosecution of the cases. Mr. Henderson went to Washington a few days ago and yesterday presented to the attorney-general a memorial from the Committee of One Hundred, setting forth in detail, the facts regarding the forgery of the tallysheets and the proceedings thus far in the cases. The memorial adds that, with due respect to the ability of District Attorney Sellers, the committee feel that he should have proper assistance, especially as there are five able attorneys on the other side. Objection is made to Mr. Bailey, the assistant prosecutor, on the ground that he is upon intimate terms with several of the defendants, that when in the state senate he voted for one of the men under indictment for a minor position, hat he afterwards said that this appointee must be kept by the senate, in order to keep his mouth closed, and that in general there is an utter want of confidence in the community in the ability or disposition on the part of Mr. Bailey to render efficient aid in the prosecution of these cases. The committee, therefore, asked that Judge Solomon Claypool and Eli F. Ritter might be appointed to assist in the prosecution of the cases.

When this memorial was presented to Mr. Garland he said that he would speak of it at the cabinet meeting which was about to be held. He said, further, that he had talked with the president on the subject, and that there was a disposition on the part of the government to see a fair and vigorous prosecution. After the cabinet meeting Mr. Garland called upon Mr. Henderson and told him that it had been decided to appoint Mr. Claypool to assist Mr. Sellers, and that, as it was the custom of the government to appoint only one assistant, he hoped that the citizens' committee would appoint Captain Ritter, which Mr. Henderson promised should be done. Judge Clay pool's .commission was at once made out and sent to him.

TERROR OX BROADWAY.

A Camel Breaks Loose From Its Keeper and Attacks a Carriage,

NEW YORK, January 11.—One of the camels which form apart of the company presenting "Mazulin" at the Academy of Music broke away from its keeper as it was being taken from the theater to the stable at 10 o'clock to night, and started on a swinging zigzag course down Broadway. From Thirteenth to Eighth street, from curb to curb, the humpbacked animal had it all his own way, to the great oonsternation of pedestrians and the equally great consternation of witnessea who were safely housed. Several ladies fainted away, and others, finding safe retreat in the hallways, made night hideous with their shrieks.

Among those who saw the careering animal,however,were a couple of men who had had some experience with untamed brutes, and didn't share the general terror. They were George Hicks, an athlete, who is

Quite

well known in a pro­

fessional way, and Richard Brown, a horse trainer who has seen rough life in Australia and in the west. They cautiously followed the camel down the street, watching for a favorable moment to advance upon him, and they found their chance near Eighth street. A private carriage containing a lady and gentleman and a little girl was coming up Broadway. The driver saw the camel and tried to turn his team around. The camel saw tho carriage, and prepared for a eharge. Then Hicks and Brown sprang quickly into action, both going to the animal's head and grasping at its nostrils, so as to shut off its breath.

The animal struggled, but uselessly, for the men wouldn't be shaken off and the humpbacked beast was soon under control. A policeman first, and the breathless keeper later, re-enforced the' clever captors of the camel and the keeper marched the animal off to the stable. The elephant and other fourfooted actors in the play came along a few minutes after, fortunately not in season to add their efforts to the afterpiece in the street.

HOW TO INSPECT PLUMBING.

A co) respondent of the Metal Worker makes a very sensible suggestion regarding the inspection of plumbing, viz: that a "uniform test be applied in every case, whatever may be the character of the work and the reputation of the plumber," and states, speaking of the various tests, that "the air pressure test finds advocates among the trade, but only on condition that it would be applied in every instance in the same manner as in the case of gas pipes. No one plumber, they maintain, should be passed over, and by the enforcement of the rule impartially the work would be thoroughly tested and the inspector's duties very materially lessened. There is another view presented also in advocacy of the air pressure test. It is claimed that a house can be sold more readily with such a certificate as the air test can secure, as abetter guarantee of good plumbing work is implied. Lastly with such a plan in operation, young plumbers "would be protected against evil report in the event that the house being sold and some older plumber coming in, in the interest of the new owner, to condemn it.

SUDDENLY BECAME 8PEECHLL6S

The Singular Manner la Which a Si. Paul Woman Lost and Regained Her Voice.

ST. PAUL, Minn., January 11.—A singular case which is just now attracting considerable attention and causing much speculation among the medical fraternity of this city is that of Mrs. V. J. Schwartz, wife of Valentine J. Schwartz, pressman at the office of the Volkszeitung. About four months ago Mrs. Schwartz, while pursuing her usual household duties, suddenly lost her voice, becoming speechless altogether, and seemed doomed to be a mute for the remainder of her life. The cause was entirely inexplicable, as throat, larynx and vocal cords appeared free from disease of any description. The unfortunate woman was in excellent health. On Sunday morning Mrs. Schwartz was suddenly seized with a fit resembling epilepsy, and on her recovery from the attack her relatives were delighted to hear her speak with all her accustomed fluency. It is conjectured that the vocal cords became paralyzed, and the sudden convulsion of the fit once more brought them into action.

A WONDERFUL WATCH DIAL.

A gentleman connected with the Illinois Watch company has a wonderfully curious watch dial. Instead of Roman numerals to denote the hours there are eleven small but very distinct silhouette figures representing a man out with his dog for a day's sport. At 7 o'clock he is seen starting out with his gun and dog at 8 o'clock he makes a shot at 9 o'clock he has a sandhill crane which measures as long as himself at 10 o'clock the man and his dog are scared at the sight of a jack-rabbit which is sitting upon his hind legs with his big long ears raised above the bushes at 11 o'clock the hunter takes a drink, and while in this attitude the dog sits in front of his master, with his nose pointing directly at the flask at 12 o'clock the sportsman is seen sitting on a stump, and is eating a lunch—the dog is eyeing the piece of bread which the hunter has in hand. At 1 o'clock he starts oat to finish the rest of the day, and so he takes his dog and fishing tackle and goes to the water at 2 o'clock the dog, which is behind his master, has been caught .with the hook by an attempt to throw in his line at 3 o'clock he and the dog are jill straightened out again, and the line is in the water, he has both hands on the pole and his foot braced on a stump by the water's edge as though he had a tremendous bite at 4 o'clock the man has got a big fish on his line, which has pulled him off his feet, and hie falls on the dog and doubles him all up, but the man is holding fast to the pole, which is bent almost double at 5 o'clock he is all straightened out again, his pole is thrown across his shoulder, and with his fish in the other hand he starts for home, the dog following behind with his head hanging down, being all tired out.

The man's name*is also painted in the center of the dial in rustic letters. The dial reflects a great deal of credit upon the artist, Mr. Charles Geyer. The figure VI. is superseded by the seconds.

FACTS ABOUT SEALSKINS.

A sealskin as seen on the animal is a very different thing from that seen on a lady's cloak. "The fur is not visible it is concealed entirely by a coat of stiff overhair, dull, gray-brown and grizzled." The overhair must all be removed. It is a long, laborious process by which these pelts are made ready for their final use. And because labor is so much cheaper in the Old World nine-tenths of these fureal skins are dressed in London and then sent out all over the civilized world. There are practically no other seals caught save those taken on the Pribylow islands by the Alaska Commercial company.

The average weight of a 2-year-old skin is five ftnd a half pounds 3-year-old skin, seven, and of a 4-year-old skin, twelve pounds. It takes three skins to make a lady's sack, which is worth any where from $75 up to $500. This difference in price is seldom due to a variance in the original quality of the fur, but to the quality of the work by which it is made ready for wear. The carcass is left to rot where the skin is taken off. It requires about three years to rot away, and, although 90,000 of these carcasses are annually decaying almost within a stone's throw of the village of St. Paul's island, yet the people do not seem to suf far any injurious effect therefrom. The meat of the young seals, if percfetly. cooked, is not bad eating, and some of the steaks will compare favorably with our beef or mutton.—[Boston Transcript.

SOME INFORMATION ON BOOK CRANKS. A bibliopegist is a bibliophile with a special regard for bookbindings. A bibliotaph is a book miser. A bibliopole is a bookseller for bibliophiles. A biblioklept is a stealer of valuable books. Mr. Lenox, who would not let Prescott see his Mexican manuscripts, was a bibliotaph, and Sam Pepys was a biblioklept. Bibliolarty is the worship of books.— [Art Review.

Children.

Parents are very often worried about a child that shows signs of dropping and loss of appetite and no desire to join in the sports of their playmates. It is hardly serious enough to require a physician, but it is plain that the child needs somethin. It is not prudent to force into the young and unde^elopep systems strong and nauseous drugs, but a medicine that will aid, invigorate, enliven and thoroughly cleanse the system by gentle means is what is desired. Simmons Liver Regulator iB a medicine of this kind. The child will not rebel against taking it, because it is not unpleasant to the taste it does not compel them to remain indoors, and it does not weaken or inqure the system. It can safely be administered to the youngest infant.

"MAY GOD BLESS YOU!"

A Boston Paper-Hanger's Trouble and How He Got Out .of It—Plain Words From the Sunny South.

When we are In trouble we cry for help. When we are relieved we often forget to be thankful. But not always. Mr. W. W. Griffin, of Trout Creek, St. Clair Co., Ala., writes: "I had a bad attack of chills and fever. My system was fall of malaria. For two years I was scarcely able to work at alL Some times my heart would palpitate for two hours at a time. My legs would get cold to the knees, and I fully expected to die. In Sep tember. 1881,1 bought a bottle of Shaker Extract of Roots, or Selgel's Curative Syrup, of your agent, Mr. R. M. King, and before I had taken the first bottle I felt better, and in a short time was able to go to work. May god bless you for the work you have done."

Mr. Wm. J. McCann, 99 Randall St., Boston, writes: "Six months ago I began to throw up my food after eating. I thought I was going into consumption. I soon began to have pain In the chest, stomach and sides. I got little sleep and woke all tired out I once lost five pound in four days. I began using Shaker Extract of Roots, or Selgel's Syrup, and when I had finished the sixth bottle I could eat three square meals a day, and go to sleep the minute I struck the bed. lama paper hanger by trade, and have worked every day sine*: I took the second bottle, and gained eighteen ponnds. I ought to be thankful and I am."

This remedy opens all the natural passages of the body, expels the poison from the blood and enables nature to rebuild what disease has destroyed.
