^The "sickly green" postage stamp is to be replaced by one of metallic red color. The "sickly green" stamp has been a nightmare to those editors who are not color blind and the change is made, no doubt, to give the people a rest from the tirades of the editors.

And now an English syndicate wants to monopolize the dry goods trade of the United States using 850,000,000 capital stock in the scheme. Yesterday it was the boot and shoe industry that another syndicate was after and the day before the breweries.

Judge Johnston, of the Porter county circuit court, has decided that the new dressed-beef law is unconstitutional, as attempting to regulate inter-state commerce. The judge held that the right to transport commodities from state to state included the right to vend them, and that the claim that the law was an exercise of police power to protect the people from diseased meat did not hold good. The case will be taken to the supreme court.

"Coal has been discovered at Farmer City, 111.," —says the Chicago Times, but perhaps the less the Farmer City people say about It the better. The discovery of coal in a neighborhood has heretofore brought with It only poverty and crime. The very presence of the shaft and derrick seems to Wast the country for miles around. No communlty that hopes to escape the blighting curse of ^slave labor will be In a hurry to shine as a coalmining center."

The above receives the endorsement of the Gazette by a place in its editorial column. We appeal to the well-known fact, to which Senator Voorhees called attention in his Atlanta speech, that the discovery of coal in Indiana gave the state a prestige which increased its industries and enhanced its general prosperity more than any other cause in all the history of the state. The mere reproduction of the above paragraph in a newspaper in this part of Indiana should be sufficient commentary on the style of argument our free trade friends are resorting to at present. 4-i

Just because you've got an oil well is no reason why you should locate Blue Grass Landing fifteen or twenty miles down the Wabash. The blue grass of which you speak, was obtained in Parke county, which by the way, is leading Vigo In the of line horses. —I Rockville Tribune.

THE EXPRESS is very glad to bear testimony to the many good things in Parke county, its blue grass, fine horses, splendid gravel roads and Republican majority, but the truth of history compels us to maintain our assertion that the se9d for the Kentucky blue grass was obtained at Port Harrison, in this county, and the authority for this assertion is Henry Clay. We have no doubt that Parke county has always bean blessed with blue grass and that perhaps the Kentucky soldiers might have improved on the quality if they had obtained the seed from Parke county, but the truth of history must be vindicated.

GREAT MEN AT PLAY.

It is almost a pity that Mr. T. F. Thistletoe Dyer could not have introduced contemporary irstancee into his two entertaining volumes, just published, entitled Great Men at Piuy," says the London Telegraph. Mr. Gladstone's tour in the West would certainly have supplied him with one entire and most interesting chapter. Ae it is, rigorous critic might take the same exception to the title of hii work as was t.nir»n against the well-known and inaccurate definition of the crab. Among his "Great Men at Play" there are not a few who can no*, by any stretch of lengupjce, be called "great while a good many of the traits and anecdotes recorded of them can hardly, without the use of violence altogether foreign to the peaceful art of classification, be thi ust under the category of "play." Still, books must have titles—that we unreservedly admit and their authors may be pardoned if, in the3e days of keen competition for public notice, they sometimes prefer the attractive to the appropriate in decid'ng on the nomenclature of their works. Mr. Dyer has at least contrived to compile, under whatever name, a book which may ba dipped into almost anywhere with the certainty either of finding new and piquant "Bna" of well-known people, or what is next beBt, of renewing acquaint ance with jests Qand anecdotes .old enough to have acquired a second youth. He has, moreover, been sufficiently judicious not to linger too long over those parts of his subject which are likely to yield him nothing but well-worn materials. "Brilliant Talkers" and "Wit and Humor" are the headings of only two out of every twenty-four chapters and, though the examples given here are not of the newest or of the best selected, the wader at least runs no risk of baing wearied by their multiplicity. Those who wish to insure novelty will Btudy rather the tastes, habits and amusements of the great men ES set foi thin this book than their sayings and in the chaotaia re lating to this subject they will find an abundance of readable matter. Ar^lerj, for instance, w»U discover w,th sati°fac tion, though not with Burorise, how many distirguiehed and hitoeito, perhaps, unexpected additions have to be made to the lover3 of the gentle art. Lord Nelson's attachment to it is well kaowr and, if traditional.anecdote may be trubcad, the hero of the Nile *"id Copenhagen was pram a* ture in telling his maimed phipmate, as Mr. Dyer relates of him, that they were both "spoiled for fisherman. The story goes that the indomitable little admiral lived to dispense completely, for lgl'.ig puip06M, with the limb which he lobt at Santa Cruz, and learned to brow a very pretty fly" with b's left aim. Many a celebrity of literature, from Scott to Kirgjley, is known to have bean a devotes of the Bport, but it mllbenewdto most people, probably, that Archdeacon Paley used to troll With enthuBic ?m for pike. We are told, indeed, that the author of the "Evidtno*3 of Christianity" kept a journal ot his exploits, and that he displayed his wallknown acumen in fathoming the motions of his voracious prey. Tne pike, he observed, could be captured even not "on the feed for that fish, continued this master of religious apologetics, "reasons thus: 'Though I am not hungry now I may be so to-morrow, and muBt not lose BO tempting a prize.'"

Perhaps it is to be regretted that Mr. Dyer hf.s not done a little in the way of collating the facts which he has amatsed with re91- Kit to the habits of his great men. For. instance, there would have been considerable interest in the inquiry as to what species of bodily exercise has found most favor with distinguish statesmen, lawyers, divines, men of letters, and so forth. Mr. Gladstone, in bis passion for Woodmanship, had a predec?ssor, it may or may not be known, in the ounger Pitt, who would sally forth with .VilbeiTorce and herw out new paths in the Holwood copse?. "His intareit in woodcrdfc was, perhaps, inherited from his father. At flaye3 place the E,pot is still, or could until recently, be point out where the imperious statesman, after posting home from Westminster at dead of night, causde cerfcaic trt as which obstructed hie view, and of which he had ordered the removal, to be instantly cut down—his negligent woodman being summoned from his bed to perform the task. Sir Walter Scott, too, was, according to Lockhart, "an expeit as well as poweilal wielder of the ax, and competed with his ablest subalterns as to the paucity of blows by which atrea could be brought down." Archbishop Whately was another votary of this vehement Bad destructive amusement, and attributed it to medical effects. Wood-chopping in a a cellar has never, so far as we know, be tried a? a substitute for the tre-:-fe'lip?, though it is obviously aa exercise within the reach of many who have no ancestral oaks on which to operate. Among other forms of recreation of the strenuous order, riding has been but moderately popular with "great men Carlyle used to declare that a horse was his "best doctor," end Warren Hastings prided himself on his prowess in the saddle. Lord Macaulay, on the other hand, had an extreme reluctance to venture outside even the most gentle of anims's, and was unwilling to ride a Shetland pony on th9 Scotch moors without a six-foot gillie at the bridle reir Sydney Smith rode, but with more fii jiness of philosophy than of seat. "I ue=d," he writ'-

I have had six falls in two yeais, and just behaved like ths 3 per cants when they fall—I got up a sain, and am not a bit the worse for it, any more than the stock in questior Els» where be describes how on one occasion he found himself "suddenly prostrate in the streets of York, much to the delight of the Dissenters." Walking, on the whole, appears to be the favorite amusement of eminent men of letterr. Wordsworth, as eveiy one knows, was a great padestrian eo was Charles Dickens. A long tramp was once of the most common of the "recreat:ons of Christopher North"—the stalwart professor having once walked seventy miles to attand a Bums festival, where he "electrified'' the meeting "*ith a fervor of eloquence which had never been heard before," certainly not after a seventy-mile walk, His daughter relates of him, on her brother's authority, that he once walked "forty miles in eight houra, though when or where he did it I cannot recollsct and this, we cannot but think, is not tha only point on which her recollection must have been at fault. His walk of eighty mile 3 within the twenty-four hours, however, is a feat mors easily credible. "Peculiarities" of great men seems a chapter-heading of wide extension, and Mr. Dyer might have greatly amplified its scop?. He is content, however, with a comparatively tew examples. The melanctioly of Coleridge and jwper, of Lord Clive and Lord Melbourne, of Ram-

illy and Dr. Johnson an ly lumped tafathar, aathoochthay wwe illustrations ot tha aama bodily or BMBtal idiosyncraay. It would h«wb*an interesting to aiaotimins+a tb*m. Coleridge's gloom was a mixture of rheumatism and opium Cowper's was of a purely spiritual character, a profound religious despondency. Lord Clive's had In itfrom tna first, we suapset, a touch of insanity, Lord Melbourne's w- vei/ likely gout, and Dr. Johnson's largely due to the remembered spffering* and privations of his youth.' Sir Samuel Bomilly owed his depression to bodily causes, as Garlyle c*ts»nly did and th® sadness of Gray, Smollett, Buna and others merely exemplified tha melancholy almoet invariably associated with the artistic temperament. Shyners, on the other hand, is a peculiarity of which it is difficult to give any uniform and consistent aooount. Mr. Dyer, however, confuses it a little uncritically with that totally distinct eimotion of nei vousness by which accomplished orators, walltrained actors ana others are eo frequent overcome before the commencement of their performance, and which they so completely overcome in their turn by the time they have warmed to their work. How distinct the two feelings are, at any rate in their origin, may be seen in the fact that Abernethy, the eminent phyaioiso, used to suffer intensely before delivering a discourse in the lecture theater. In his discourses in the oon-sulting-room he showed sufficient aslfpossession to-reverse the conditions entirely. There, the suffsring created by his lectures was all on the aide of the patient. Abernethy, in fact, was nervous but not shy. Charles James Fox, on the other hand, who spoke with perfect composure, but shrank from notice in large assemblages, is an example of the man whoia shy without being nervous. On the habits of great men in respect of their use or non-use of alcoholic liquora and their coneumotion or rejsotion of to* banco and atuff, Mr. Dyer has some excellent chapters, from whiob, however, we must deny ouicelves the pleasure of quotation. Perhaps the most interesting of all is the chapter on the "faculty of memory," as exhibited by "great men." This most capiioious of foi tune's gifts for, with all respect for professors of mnemonics, remtive memories are born, not made— app aar to be be stowed according to no sort of rule, and equally upon men with hardly any other intellectual faculty in common—on men es different as Lord Stowell and Lord Byron, as James Watt and Theodore Hook. The prince among them all, of course, was Macaulay, who used to hold that "any one ought to be able to repeat his archbishops of Canterbury backwards," and who is said to have be9n able to recite—what many people are unable even to read—the whole of "SirCharlei Grandison" from beginning to end. 1

DEEP DOWN NOTES.

Lima Gazette: A. Steelsmith recently sold his property west of Cygnet to tbe Standard oil company. He had eight wells, some of them large pi jducars. Affar selling, St9e?«mith purchased a chare in the Sheiman oil oompany, who owned a lease of the Shinnebar^er farm adjoining on the south. Stealpmith had en idea that one of the wells he had sold was largely supplied with its extraordinary politic yield from the Shinne barger farm, ana so located and drilled a well directly opposite. The result wai very satisfactory, aa the new well yields over 1^500 barrels a day at the ate- and is still yielding about 1,003, and the same day that it began its' career, the Standard well dropped to a small producer. Efforts have been made to revive it, but it refuses to respond satisfactorily—is lead seems to be cut off.

TheVinceanee Sun Bays: "A gentleman who residei in Terre Haute was in this city a few days since, and he stated it is a positive fact that the people could taste tne oil in their beef staakand other food, and that the only way to keep it out of their coffee was to keep it hermetically sealed. He says it will have the effect of driving many of the best residents away from the place. He, therefore, counseled Vincsnnes to go two or three miles away from the corporation line to prospact for oil. A gentleman from the east informs us that Oil City and other plac in Pennsylvania have been greatly depopulatad:"

Lima Gazette: The state will, in future years, derive a very neat income from the Standard oil company, the Independent oil companies and the gps ilanto, that in the last few years have jeen added to northweatern Ohio. In this way not only this section, but the entire state derives a benefit The great influx of capital in oil and ges investments in the growing put of Ohio, has added millions of dollars worth of property to the tax duplicates, and it will, or should result in a commensurate reduction of taxes in other parts of Ohio. The Wood County Sentinel furnished the following as a showing of what the large companies returned in Wood county: Toledo natural gat company $102,074.75 Backeyr pipe line company 421,161.00 Connect'Og pipe Une 7,620.0) Northwestern natoral gas company 113,632.72 Win.

Total .»»MC3.47 Intar Ocean: The amount of ooal gas and oil that is now being drained from the interior will produca something of a vacuum in Mother Earth sooner or later. The present supply ofgaa is enormous. Statistics for oil show that in 1888 Pennsylvania produced 16,491,083 barrels Ohio, 10,010,868 barrels West Virginia, 119,448 barrels California, 704,619 barrels, and other states 20,033 barrels. Just how long sueh a draft can be made and every year increased, and the walls hold, no one can say. It is ponible that the supply will be equal to the demand, and there will be no collapse. Science knows but little ot the machinery down towards China.

Vfelatlac tWiMr laMMMwttstawi, An Important and ssnsational auit was filed in tbe superior court at lndianapolia Saturday. The directors of the o&f First National bank are the iriaiotifi, and alisge that. A. BT Lynch and John McCutcheon, president and wshisr, respec-ively, have bran guilty of vlolatir-j tbe National banking law in: referene%to loans, and that the bank loat $300,000 through this illegal use of the fanda.

Tne law provides that banka shall not lend more than 10 per cent, of their capital stock to any one firm or individua ,and aa the bank's stock waa $400,003, the limit in this csee waa $40,cco.

The complaint then aliegea that Brown & Boyd, grain dealers, were loaned $134,C00 tbe Western elevator oompany 190,000, and another firm $25,009 in exoess of the legal amount.

In order to ooncsal these tranaactions the cashier end president kept the books in auoh a manner as to deceive the di-, rectors, and finally accepted paper which they knew to be fiotioioua and of no commercial value. These drafts were never paid, and through them the bank loat nearly $300,000, and demand is made for thia sum.

McCutcheon and Lynch are both prominent citizena and the allegation of the complaint have oreated much surprise. •. INDIANAPOLIS WILLS.

Condition.

The Indianapolia health board held a meeting Saturday and Chemist Hurty made anf extended report on the condition of the wells along the streets in the heart of the city. While hia investigations have not extended to all the wells, he reports that those examined have been badly contaminated from the sewera and from vaults at residence properties, and the health of the city requires that they shall be condemned. He givea instances of the kind and extent of the contamination and declares that allot the fevers and cutaneous die aa see now prevalent in the city is tracaable to the bad water.

In some instances the wells at private reeidenc9s have bean sunk but a few feet lower than the dry wells conneoted with the closets and bath-rooms, and the water is in constant use for domestic purposes. Along Waahington street all the public wells have been contaminated by the aewers, and yet these form the water aupply of many.of the blooks which are used as tenements. There is little doubt that the board will order a wholesale condemnation of publio and private wells.

-17 COMBINATION 111 OIL.

A Formidable Blvrl to the Standard Oil Coaspoay with a Capitol of |U,IO^NO.

During the last few daya negotiation* have been going on in thia city between two immense corporations looking to their consolidation into a powerful oil oom-

sny, the moat formidable rival the oil oompany has ever had, says yesterday's Commeroisl Gazette. Tne companies in question are the Kentucky oil and gas oompany, of Louisville, and the Southern oil and pipe line company, of Cinoinnati, the combined capital stock of the two being $15,000,000, with the privilege of increasing to $25,030,000.

Tne Louisville company are all prominet southern capitalists, representing considerable more than enough to take up the maximum stock of that company —$5,000,000. They have been operating eo quietly that few outeide of a chosen circle have been aware of the existence of the company or ita operations. To this secrecy the company owes itssuoosssin securing 80,003 acreB of valuable oil and gas lands in Barren and Warren oountiee, Kentucky, covering a scope of country about thirty miles in length, and, on an average, four miles in width. Glasgow and Bowling Green are both in the boundaries of the tract. The leases include the right to drill for oil, gas and other materials, to lay pipes and construct railroads. They run for ten yearp, and as much longer as the operator may choore.

The Cincinnati company has leaasa covering 50,003 acres of land in Allen ciunty, Kentucky, and Sumner county, Tennessee, immediately adjoining the leases of the luisville oompany, making 130,003 acres, or 2C0 square milea in a body. The oil, acoording to searching teste, is of a very superior quality, and so abundant that eyety spring in that section is impregnated with it. The object of the consolidation is to form a oompany to control the entire oil and gas product of Kentucky. Experts regard tbe oil as far more plentiful than in the Pennsylvsnia fields, and gaa has b?en found in such quantities that it is now being piped to Bowling Green and Glasgow by the Louisville company, who figure their yearly profits from this source alone at $80,000.

The oil was discovered in 1865 ia Barren county by parties from Pennsylvania, but the feeling against the "Yankee" waa so strong at that time that it was impossible to work the field. Tbe high standard of the oil ia considered most favorable, snalyeie showing it fally 10 per cont. above Pennsylvania product. The field is very favorable located for marketing. It is within easy reach of competing waterways and railroads to Bowling Green and all Southern points, and is five hundred miles nearer the great Southern and Southwestern markets than any oil yet discovered. It can be ahipped to St. Louis at a rate of 64 csnts per barrel lees than from Pennsylvania.

The high quality of the oil—forty-five degrees—is considered positive proof erf its abundanca, as this is about the same gravity es the o'l found in all the great petroleum fields,, of Pennsylvania, and there is no field yet discovered with this high gravity oil but has been very productive—[Cincinnati dispatch in yesterday's Toledo Commercial.

Colonel Hain, manager of the elevated road, saya that 80,033 New Yorkers are out of town from June until the middle of September.

He has baen in the far West since the days of his early manhood, and was a notable figure in Kansas during the troublesome times there thirty-three years ago.
