The class which graduates from the Normal school to-day is the largest any in the history of this institution whose steady growth in usefullneea the striking feature of the public school system of the state. When the next term begins the new building will be in readiness, and with the conveniences and appliances suggested by experience, there is a gratifying prospect of still further prosperity.

During the last three months the advertised letter list In this city has decreased SO per cent That tells a story of postal Improvement that everybody can understand.—[Indianapolis Journal.

Such showings as this are what makes us aweary of civil service reform rebukes such as is supposed to have been ad ministered at Indianapolis recently. That 50 per cent, improvement in the delivery of the mail offsets all technical and finical criticism of the management of the office.

The Indianapolis Journal and Tins TKRRE HAUTK EXPRESS have been right all the time In regard to the mining troubles In Clay county.

Brazil Enterprise.

Every one who is fully acquainted with the facts in regard to the mining troubles knows that the outsiders are the ones who have been wrong. In this connection THF. EXPRESS takes pleasure in again calling attention to the failure of the Gazette of this city to say one word in support of the efforts of its free trade friends and contemporaries at Indianapolis and elsewhere. It knows that by so doing it would lose what little confidence the people here in the coal region have in its utterances and so it follows the Indianapolis example and discusses the horror of the milk sickness in the next county. That is to say the Gazette devotes itself to the starving miners in Illinois and we suppose the free traders in Illinois are pointing out the miseries in Pennsylvania caused by the tariff. tA c. 0.

On Account of His Family.

First Juryman—It looks like a pretty clear case ngiilust the feller, that's a fact, but I think we had better let him go—on account of his family.

Second Juryman—Why, the family Is Just about as no-account as he Is. I can't see where your argument comes in.

First Juryman—What I mean is that we will have to keep 'em all winter Ifjwe send him to jail. See?

Modern Courtship.

Johnson—I hear you are going to get married, Thompson. Thompson—Yep.

Johnson—What kind of a mother-in-law do you think the old lady will be to you? Thompson—I haven't any Idea. I never met her but once.

Atlanta Constitution: Mr. Michael Davltt and Henry Labuuchere announce that the charges mode against Alexander Sullivan In Chicago are Inspired by the London Times. It Is a pity that two sensible and patriotic men should Indulge In such Idiotic talk.

New York Herald: The Chicago authorities have a very serious business on hand. They may rightly claim the sympathy and support of every right-minded man in the Union. It Is a crime against tlie country and the civilization of the century which they are bringing to light. The task is difficult, but the necessity of punishing the guilty Is urgent

Detroit Journal (Ind.): Harrison's civil service commission Is far ahead of Cleveland's both In efficiency and faithfulness. The tour of the cities It Is now making in order to recUfy abuses Is giving a vigorous shaking up to the officials who Neem to think that the civil service law Is meant to divert and hoodwink the mugwumps, but not to Interfere with the amusement of the "boys."

Cleveland Leader: Only rarely do the mtigulded fanatics who pour a stream of gifts and "dues" into the treasury of such a dynamite league as the Clan na-Uael have the poor satisfaction of knowing that any Innocent persons have been killed in London or even a building wantonly and foolishly Injured. As a general thing there Is profound quiet In England, and yet the "skirmishing funds" do not accumulate. Meanwhile the officers of the society live well and have a good Ume generally.

Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette. Senator Chanddler Is a fair man, obtrusive In hts Ideas of what he believes Is right, persistent In hts support of his opinions, and fearless In defending them. There Is not a man In the South large enough to scare him, though he Is small physloally. Senator Blackburn is a Dig-bodied, big-hearted and Impulsive man. Under normal conditions he ts Incapable of Insulting anybody, or pulling any ear, except his own. if he did pull Senator Chandler's ear, It Is only charitable, and probably justice, to ascribe his act to some of the peculiar influences emanating from the industries of Kentucky.

CINCINNATI, June 27.—A faucet in the fifth story of Fechheimer Bros, clothing store, on Fifth street, was left open all night last night. There being no watchman in the house, every floor was flooded and great quantities of goods wet. The firm estimate the loss at $25,000, with no insurance.

STRAY IHF0RMATI0H.

The settlement of the Orth-Crabboon-testedelectioncaae tor the office of trustee of Nevins township seems doomed to indefinite delay by reason of Judge Mack's procrastination. The suit was heard daring the lsst term of court, the usual vacation of two weeks intervened between the terms, the decision that was promised for this term and was expected early was delayed during a couple weeks of mingled business and idleni— in court and two weeks of visiting in New York and Tennessee concerning private business by the judge. After these many delays and when no further excuse could be found to appease those who were clamoring for a decision Judge Mack rendered a verbal finding in favor of the plaintiff, Orth, a Democrat, and said that inasmuch as an appeal would undoubtedly be taken and a speedy final decision was desirable he would put his finding in writing so that an appeal could be made. But the decision of the court hps not only not been made in writing* but no record of his verbal findiM appears on the court docket. There -is no record to show that the case has been decided. Virtually, therefore, the case stands undecided There was no delay in the dismissal of the bank robber, J. C. Evans, from jailnot sufficient to allow the police to know of his release until he was out of the city and well on his way to be lost in Chicago. It 4s different in the OrthCrabbcase.

The force of sanitary officers has been increased to three by two additions recently made by the city counoil yet the amount of garbage in the city continues to be a disgrace. In the alleys in the outskirts of the city and extending well towards the heart of the city, the weeds have grown to a considerable height and serve to evil purposes—to retain dampness in low unhealthy places and to conceal heaps of filth that are the causes of bad odors and much sickness. The city ordinances make it the duty of police officers to discover these heaps of rotting matter and to report them to the sanitary officer. The latter officer is also supposed to have such garbage removed and the garbabe man is supposed to keep all garbage from the streets and alleys during the hot season. If the patrolmen would perform their duty it might be that the two extra sanitary officers would not be necessary. An entry on the police record the other day called the attention of the sanitary officer to a locality on south Eighth street, neighbors having complained of slop being thrown on the sidewalks in that neighborhood. The day patrolmen have but little work except to discover garbage during six days in the week—excepting show days, of course, when they arrest showmen in the parade and call down upon themselves the jeers of the crowd.

Wednesday morning a lady living on east Liberty avenue called the attention of a*policeman to her dog and asked that it be Bhot. The lady did not wish the execution put into effect in her yard, so a small boy was pressed into service to lead the dog over to the railroad, out of sight and sound. Upon arriving at a suitable place to commit the murder the policeman—Wm. Beisman—instructed the boy to shorten his hold on the rope attached to the dog and lift it up so that he could get a good shot at the animal. The boy followed his instructions and the policeman placed his revolver within an inch or two of the dog's head, shut his eyes, pulled the trigger and—missed the whole shooting match. The dog, frightened at the report of the pistol, broke loose from the boy and made his escape down the street, yelping at every jump. It is not necessary to say that the policeman kept very quiet about it.

The drillers at the oil wells are opposed to answering questions asked by spectators and have an unwritten rule among themselves to tell anything but the truth when asked. But they can not distinguish between stockholders and others, and bring embarrassment to themselves occassionly because of that fact. A stockholder approached, one of the workmen recentand asked the usual question, "How deep are]you?" The workman answered with an introductory oath that he had been asked that question seven-ty-five times that day. The stockholder, when relating the incident, said: "I modestly reminded him that the well was costing me about a dollar per foot, and I would like to know, and the man was so overcome with embarrassment that he could hardly tell me."

A young man and a lady friend at a social gathering recently, were discussing the number of relatives and, in answer to her question as to the number of children in the family, he said: There are five boys and each of us has two sisters." The young lady was non-plussed, and exclaimed: "What! Fifteen of you? I don't believe it!"

The others present knew that there were but two girls in the family. They did not seen to think, however, that the two girls oould be sisters to each of the boyB.

The Emmett guards, a military organization of Indianapolis, which will run an excursion to this city next Sunday, seems to have a just appreciation of theevery-day attractions of Terre Haute.

A Steamboat Named for Mr. Hendricks. Mrs. T. A. Hendricks received, recently, a letter from Mr. R. S. Davis stating that a new and elegant steamboat had been fitted up to run on the lower Mississippi, and named after the late vice president. The writer said: "Only one thing is needed. That is a

Hendricks immediately answered the request by purchasing from Mrs. Charles Ingraham the duplicate painting of the one she owns and considers the best of her husband, and which, being handsomely framed, was shipped with her compliments to the Interstate transportation company, at New Orleans. —[Indianapolis Journal.

Some weeks ago that part of the act requiring the judges to prepare their own syllabi was declared unconstitutional. Ib order to teat the act fully, Mr. Griffiths brought suit to compel the state secretary to comply with the old law in receiving and distributing his reports. In the circuit court the old law was held to be still in force, and Secretary Griffin appealed to the supreme oourt. The. decison of the lower oourt was to-day sustained. Chief Justice Elliott gave the opinion. He holds that the various parts of the act are so interlocked and interdependent that the good can not be separated from the bad, and therefore that the entire act is destitute-of validity. Its essential features are unconstitutional and they carry all down with them. Where the provisions of an act can be separated so that the unconstitutional ones can be removed and leave the others oompleto and meaning the same as before, it is sometimes possible for part of the law to be rejected and the remainder retained, but no such possibility exists in this esse. Courts can not patch up legislative enactments.

The well-known Bruce plaoe suit was also affirmed by the supreine court today. Certain heirs have been trying to get possession of a body of land in the northern part of the city, which is now in the hands of more than one hundred innocent purchasers. The decision is a victory for the preeent holders of the property.

Some persons have wondered at the suit between two such good friends as Supreme Court Reporter Griffiths and State Secretary Griffin. Is should be understood that the suit wss brought simply to test the law, and is entirely friendly on the part of all interested

MABKET FOB INDIANA'S BONDS.

Reason the State Loans are Always Taken by New York Savings Banks. State Treasurer Lemcke returned from New York Wednesday night. He feels, says the Indianapolis News, that the state has done well to place so much of its big loan as it has in the short time since the advertisements were published, and he is confident that the 27 per cent, of the loan not yet taken will bedisosed of by the middle or latter part of uly.

The state of Maine is trying to sell several million dollars' wprth of "bonds in New York just now, and 4B failing miserably, Captain Lemcke said, though agents are peddling them about every bank in the city. The Maine people, fearing that the offer of Indiana bonds would lessen their chances of a sale, did all they could to depreciate Indiana's credit, and industriously spread the report that there

The Governor the Only Man In Sight. There was a verdant looking old couple promenading about the state house, admiring whatever was- in Bight. Finally Governor Hovey stepped in view, and as he approached the old man the latter queried: "Say, have you-seen anything of my old woman'eipocket handkerchief I've lost it."

The governor assured him in the blandest tones that he had not, and passed on, while the old man muttered in an audible tone, "It's mighty funny he's the only man I've seen around here."—[Indianapolis News.

NJSW YORK, June 27.—Among the passengers on the steamship Prince Wilhelm, which arrived Wednesday from Hayti, was Mr. G. B. Nilson, a resident of this city, who four months ago went to Hayti to enter the employ of Legitime in the capacity of an engineer on board of a manof-war. In speaking of the affair to-day he said that he returned because he found the situation there too warm for him. Legitime stood little chance of holding out.

a question of the

validity of her bonds. This caused some temporary embarrassment in their Bdl&e "I am convinced," said Captain Lemcke, "that there is just one market for our bonds. That is in the savings banks of New York City and Brooklyn. In my two and a half years incumbenoy of the treasurer's office I have negotiated several state loans, and though we have advertised in all the principal cities, the bonds have never been taken but by the savings banks in the two places named. The reason is that these banks are not taxed on their deposits and they are restricted in their investments by Btatute to state bonds and to county and city bonds of the state of New York. If they were taxed on deposits they could not possibly afford to buy bonds at 3 per cent, interest. Early in July the directors of some of these banks will meet, and then, I think, they will vote to purchase the $1,055,000 of our bonds not yet sold. One bank in particular, I know, wants half a million dollars worth of them."

Rauq^fomoffleeiBMsbiBiiohthe order at the day at prsesatthat the record ot a distinguished manls experi enceaa avictim at "rotation" most be inlsiielinii The man waa Nathaniel Hawthorne, and the office wm the survsyorship of onatOma at Sales* Mass Mr. Hawthorns waa appointed~by President Polk and waa removed by President Taylor four yean later. He treats of the matter in the introduction to the "Scarlet Letter," ss follows:

A remarkable event ot the third year of my aurveyorahip was the election of General Taylor to the presidency. It is essential, in order to a complete setimate of the advantages of official life, to view the incumbent at the incoming of a hostile adminiatration. His position is one of the most singularly irksome, and. in every contingency, disagreeable, that a wretched mortal can possibly occupy with seldom an alternative or good, oneither hand, although what preeenta itself to him ss the worst event may very probably be the beat But it is a strange experience to a man of pride and sensibility, to know that his interests are within the control of individuals who neither love nor understand him, and by whom, since one or the other must needs happen, he would rather be injured than obliged. Strange, too, tor one who has kept his calmness throughout the oonteet, to observe the bloodthirstiness that is developed in the hour of triumph, and to be conscious that he is himself among its objects! There are few uglier traits of human nature than this tendency— which I now witnessed in men no worse than their neighbors—to grow cruel, merely because they possessed the power of inflicting harm. If the guillotine, as applied to officeholders, were a literal fact instead of one of the most apt of metaphors, j( jg my sinoere belief that the active membOTS of the victorious party were sufficiently exoited to have chopped off all our headB, and have thanKed heaven for the opportunity! It appears to me—who has been a calm and curious observer, ss well in victory as defeat—that this' fierce and bitter cmirit of malice and revenge has never distinguished the many triumphs of my own party as it now did that of the Whigs. The Democrats take the offices, as a general rule, because they need them, and because the practice of many years has made it the law of politital warfare, whichj unless a different system be- proclaimed, it were weakness and cowardice to murmur at. But the long habit of victory has made them generous. They know how to Bpare when they see occasion and wnen they strike, the ax may be sharp, indeed, but its sdge is seldom poisoned with ill-will nor is it .their custom ignominiously to kick the head which they have just struck off.

In short, unplessant as was my predicament, at best, I Baw much reason to congratulate myself that I was on the losing side, rather than the triumphant one. If, heretofore, I had been none of the warmest of partisans, I began now, at this season of peril and adversity, to be pretty acutely sensible with which party my predilections lay nor was it without something like regret and shame that, according to a reasonable calculation of chances, I saw my own prospect of retaining office to be better than those of my Democratic brethren. But who can see an inch into futurity beyond his nose? My own head was the first that fell!

The moment when a man's head drops off is seldom or never, I am inclined to think, precisely the most agreeable of his life. Nevertheless, like the greater part of our misfortunes, even

Meanwhile the press had taken up my affair, and kept me, for a week or two, careering through the public print, in my decapitated state, like Irving Headless Horseman, ghastless and grim, and longing to be buried, as a politically dead man ought. So much for my figurative self. The real human being, all this time with his head safely on his shoulders, had brought himself to the comfortable conclusion that everything was for the beet and, making an inveetment in ink, paper and steel pens, bad opened his long disused writing desk, and was sgain a literary man.

a contingency brings its remedy and consolation with it, if the sufferer will but make the beet, rather than the worst, of the accident which has befallen him. In my particular case the consolatory topics were close at hand, and, indeed, bad suggested themselves to my meditations a considerable time before it was requisite to use them. In view of my previous weariness of office, and vague thoughts of resignation, my fortune somewhat resembled that of a person who should entertain an idea of committing suicide, and, although beyond his hopes, meet with the good hap to be murdered. In the custom house, as before, in the old mause, I had spent three years a term long enough to rest a weary brain long enough to break off old intellectual habits and make room for new ones long enough, and too long, to have lived in unnatural state, doing what was really of no advantage to any human being, and withholding myself from toil that would, at least, have stilled an unquiet impulse in me. Then, moreover, as regarded his unceren^onious ejectment, and the late surveyor was not altogether ill-pleased to be recognized by the Whigs as an enemy since his inactivity in political affairs—his tendency to roam, at will, in that broad and quiet field where all mankind may meet, rather than confine himself to those narrow paths where brethren of the same household must diverge from one another—had sometimes made it questionable with his brother Democrats whether he was a friend. Now, after he had won the crown of martyrdom (though with- no longer ahead to wear it on), the point might be looked upon as Bettled. Finally, little heroic as he was, it seemed more decorous to be overthrown in the downfall of the party with which he had been content to stand than to remain a forlorn survivor, when so many worthier men were falling and, at last, after subsisting for four years on the mercy of a hoetile administration, to be compelled then to decline his position anew, and claim the yet more humiliating mercy of a friendly le.

Monument to Christopher Columbus. NEW YORK, June 27.—At a meeting of the park boftrd yesterday a communication was read from Carlo Barsotti, editor of II Progresso Italo-Americano, stating that the Italian societies of New York propose to erect in one of the parks a monument to Christopher Columbus. The monument he said is to be 150 feet high, and to cost $30,000. Some of the famous sculptors of Italy are now preparing designs. Mr. Barsotti wanted to know whether the board would accept a monument of Carrara marble, or whether it would have to be made of bronze. He was told to submit his designs, and the board would then give him an answer.

urchased the property-of a man whom supposed waB Uhlein. In connection with this real estate fraud it is now learned that this is only one ot a series of frauds, and that a gang of real estate sharks and swindlers has long existed in this city This gang has for some time past been conducting extensive operations by means of forging signatures, using fictitious names and selling and making bogus mortgagee. Up to the preeent time the'Uhlein case is the most prominent one, but before the investigation is ended it will be found to be but a Bmall portion of the vast amount of fraud and robbery which has been going on during the past two years. Becorder M. J. Bell estimates that he has several hundred bogus deeds and mortgagee filsd in his office, by the gang. The total of the whole must reach $100,000. Besides Stensgaard, the police in this city have arrested F. Li. Draper, a local lawyer Avery Chadwick, Leonard Partello, Toll, M. A. Cummins, Sidney Carver and George Kinster. E. A. Carlson wss arrested at Anonka on a telegraphic order from this city. A number of forged deeds and mortgages were found in their possession.
