Mayor Denny this morning received a letter from a California man who wants to sell Indianapolis some sea lions, to be placed In the public parks.—[Indianapolis newspaper.

Why not call upon the state to help secure the lions? There is no difference between an appeal for this purpose and the ones usually sent out to the state, from the capital. J|gj|

'-'^The oppressive heat of the day yesterday did not diminish the interest in this -f-J' city in the prize fight. Election results may have been more OBgerly awaited, and larger crowds congregated at well known places, but never before has there been such an all-pervading and deepseated interest in the result of any event as that manifested by all classes of people yesterday in the prize fight.

Chauncey Depew suggests a public meeting In New York to consider the project of a world's fair Tor that city In 1892, and the New York Sun, which started the notion, says "this Idea ought to be taken Into account.

Good, but say, what about Indiana^»»t. lis "working the same racket" on the Btate of Indiana? We don't intend to start any acrimonious discussion as to the relation the capital city holds toward the rest of the state and would say nothing severe or brutal, but New York is not the only hog.

"Mr. Sullivan is a gentleman we have always held in high regard. It has been said that he is a brute and that Mr. Kilrain is the gentleman but we undertake to say that Mr. Sullivan will, in the next few years, drink more champagne than will Mr. Kilrain. The woman in London remarked to the police officer who was dragging her through the streets that she was a lady and she wanted to establish her claim by showing him her silk stockings. Mr. Sullivan completely refutes the slanders of his enemies by drinking champagne as a regular tipple.

Our friend who sends his Express packages C. O. D. through THE EXPRESS, its exchanges and their exchanges to all parts of the world was not much enthused over the prize fight, and in a tone of mild disgust remarked that in twenty years from now the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans would be celebrated on the 8th of July instead of the 8th of January. However, THE EXPRESS takes pleasure in announcing that its agent, from the beginning, has been a Sullivan man, so far as he formed any judgment on the merits of the fighters, and wasjnot one of the many who have pronounced in favor of Sullivan since the result of the fight wap made known.

Some wag has provided our esteemed local contemporary, which insists on the free trade illusion of buying where you "rcan buy the cheapest, a quotation from •s-w- Jefferson which is kept standing at the head of the editorial columns. The quotation is not an endorsement of the free trade theory, though it can be construed as such by those persons whose opinions are formed by their desires, and who have not read all that Jefferson wrote. Here is what Jefferson said,to such aa our contemporary

Experience has taught me that manufactures are as necessary to our Independence as to our comfort and If those who quote me as of a different opinion will keep pace with me In purchasing nothing foreign where an equivalent of domestic fabric can be obtained, without regard to difference

or

price, it will not soon have a supply at home equal to our demand, and wrest that weapon of distress from the hand which has wielded It.

"The Cincinnati Enquirer says that President Harrison could not attract as much attention in that city as did John L. Sullivan," editorially remarks an able Democratic newspaper in this state, and in another part of the same paper, we find the alarming statement that "J. J. Hill is worth 815,000,000." The first statement is meant to discredit President Harrison. How silly it would- be for a Republican newspaper to make the assertion that J. J. Hill gave $25,000 to the Cleveland Campaign fund. Yet there is much such

"able opinion" furnished by. wildly partisan newspapers which have come to believe that the people are all a pack of fools devoid of the capacity of reasoning.

The heroism, the perfect discipline and all the moral effect of .the naval service at Samoa, daring the hurricane, and no less during the international complications there, should not be marred by a conflict of judgment, or anything that borders on public or official controversy, as to the naval ability of the officers in command. It is an occasion when all considerations favor a quiet settlement of any controversy.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

New York World (Dem.): The New York World has no desire to boss the Democratic party. It would not give $2 to own the Democratic party In fee simple, for it has no desire to be an organ.

Cincinnati Commercial: The story that Dr. Cronln bore an assumed name, and that he was an Englishman and a spy, does not help the case of the foul murder very much, and does not help the cause of Irish liberty a whit.

Cleveland Leader: The International peace congress which has been sitting In Paris has done well to elect Senator Sherman one of its vice presidents. There are few individuals who can exercise so powerful an Influence for the good of nations as the broad-minded, conservative and manly Ohio statesman thus honored, and none who can be more confidently trusted to be fair, wise and prudent In every emergency.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: Local pride and public spirit have brought Chicago to the front and made It the great, rich, prosperous city it is. Starting into life more than a century after New Orleans its pluck and enterprise have placed It far ahead of this city, and above most of the capitals of Europe. It Is not difficult to find the causes of its success. Whenever a proposition is submitted to its people that will advance or improve their city they vote for It enthusiastically. Chicago Is great because Its people have always worked for Its advancement.

Globe Democrat: All Republicans will heartily Indorse the declaration of Congressman Heed to the effect that some remedy must be founj) for the great wrong which exists at the South in the suppression of votes by fraud and violence. The election of Harrison was brought about for that purpose among others. It Is idle to say that an effective plan can not be devised to correct an evil so plain and so monstrous and the new congress Is expected to take prompt action upon the subjectThe question Is not one to be settled rashly or vindictively, but It must be settled, nevertheless, In such a way as to satisfy the demands of justice, fairness and decency.

Cleveland Leader: tinier the Influence of this Irish domination Chicago has been cursed with •"•-ter Qqrrlsontsm, and Is now suffering from the Cai?.«fv...\ Clan-nA-Gaellsm. No city still worse disease tji a«-«wsvk_. can be well governed where the Irish art cujsrcr-" ered about four times as important, in the dlstrlbution of offices, as all the other nationalities combined where native Americans, Germans, Swedes, and others are forced to take a position subordinate to one class of naturalized citizens. The Clan-na-Gael has practically put the people of Chicago under the heel of a lew blatant Irish demagogues who were so confident of their power that they have even decreed the death of one or more of their fellow citizens because he threatened to expose their rascality. The Clan-na-Gael Is not only a disgrace to this couhtry and to Irishmen, but it is a disgrace to the nineteenth century. All self-respecting Irishmen should denounce It. apt?

COMING CHANGES IN OFFICE.

Johnston's Resignation Accepted as Commissioner of Railroads—His Successor. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

WASHINGTON, July 7.—The office of railroads, ever since it was created, three or four years ago, has been held by General Joseph E. Johnston, the real hero and military leader of the confederacy, and General Sherman's opponent in his march to the sea. Commissioner Johnston,like all other prominent officials of the old administration sent a formal letter of resignation to president Harrison on the 4th of March, for it was the custom to do so. But he waa extremely anxious to retain the office, even though he was a Democrat, and he got all his friends to nse their influence to prevent its acceptance. Among others who interested themselves in his behalf was General William T. SherSan, who came to Washington, dinea at the White house, and made a special request of the president to retain General Johnston in his office. General Sherman said this was all he would ask of the administration, and he begged very hard. The president did not make any promises, and General Johneton's resignation was accepted yesterday, to take effect on the 18th of July, when, it is understood, Mr. Taylor, of Wisconsin, will succeed him.

The prevailing impression here is that. Sevelon A. Brown, who was chief clerk of the departmept of state for many years, and was removed to make a place for Mr. J. Pennerlee, who now holds the office, will be restored to his old place in a few days. Mr. Brown was originally from Auburn, N. Y., and was brought to Washington by William H. Seward, when he became secretary of state under Lincoln, and appointed to a clerkship. He was promoted from time to time, until he reached the highest grade below that of the assistant secretary's, and was really the balance wheel of the the department.

Examining Surgeons Dismissed. WASHINGTON, July 8.—John E. Car­

penter, of Ohio, an examining surgeon, and Wm. Goodlive, of Ohio, and WM E. Brandt, of Indiana, qualified surgeons, all employes of the pension office, have been dismissed. No official explanation is vouohsafed as a reason for these reremovals, except that given by Assistant Secretary Bussey, who says they were made in the reorganization of the office of medical referee, and that the places will be filled. It is said, however, that these officers were dismissed because of their liberality in re-rating pensions, and for rendering local pensions, and for rendering legal opinions without proper authority^

An Earthquake Shocks Blaine. FARMINGTON, Me., July 8.—A shock

of earthquake was plainly felt here laBt night, lasting half a minute. Dishes were rattled upon the shelves and light articles knocked about, but no damage was done. The directioi was northwest to southeast. I

BIRDS AND VENTRILOQUY.

Undoubtedly, the moat perfect mimic amongst the feathered tribes is the American mocking bird, a bird belonging to the thrash family, says a writer in Chambers' Journal. On account of its wonderful powers of imitation, the aboriginesse of Mexico called it eentcontlatlolli—namely, 400 tongues or languages. It is dnring the daytime that its imitative powers are usually exhibited and so perfect is its mimicry of the songs of other birds, that even the most practiced ear is easily deceived thereby. Although it has never been known to imitate the human voice, its powers extend to the mimicry of the cries and calls of other birds, the mewing of cats, the barking of dogs, cock-crowing, hencackling, pig-squealing, creaking of hinges, and numerous other sounds.

The beet imitator of the human voice is the parrot but its powers as a mimic are so well known that we need not stay to enumerate them.

It must not be supposed chat this faculty is confined to one or two species, for it is possible that most birds are more or less endowed with it. Many of our British species are excellent mimics, and although by no means so proficient in the art as their foreign brethren, the term "mocking bird" might be very appropriately applied to not a few. The development of these powers frequently takes place when in confinement, the exercise of the faculty seeming to afford much enjoyment to the performer. Among the British birds which may be taught to utter words and short sentences are the magpie, jay, starling and jackday. The first-mentioned of these, it is said, may be taught to speak almost as plainly as the parrot does, and the starling may be taught to say almost anything, as well as to whistle tunes. A goldfinch has been known to mimic to the life the chirp of the sparrow, the "spink, spink" of the chaffinch, the twittering of the swallow, the belllike "scold" of the blackbird, the notes of the oxeye tit, the bunting, the whitethroat and the wren—in fact, any and every bird's cry that he had the chance of hearing during his ten yearo' confinement.

The bullfinch is a notable imitator of tunes, while the canary frequently reproduces parts of the airs that have been whistled or played in his hearing. There is on record a most interesting and curious case of mimicry by a canary. A gentleman having taken temporary rooms in a London lodging house, was much disturbed during his first evening's Btay there by the persistent striking of a clock (utterly regardless of time) outside his room. It became so annoying to him that he opened the door for the purpose of calling his landlady, when, to his surprise, the sound suddenly ceased. Upon questioning the landlady, he found that the Bound was made by a pet canary whose cage was placed in a window seat outside his door. The imitation was so exact that it was impossible to detect the fraud by the ear alone.

Rsculver marsh, on the coast of Kent, is much frequented by lapwings and skylarks, the latter of which have adopted the peculiar and well-known alarm cry of the plover. These birds are also imitators of the cry of the ringed plover. Professor Newton tells us of another imitator of the lapwing—the starling, who, moreover, has been heard to imitate the twittering of the swallow. Jays, again, are said to be able to reproduce Vv'VJBiSCuliar notes of the carron crow.

There art intruded upon the nesting-ground of the lapwing who have not been deceived by the piteous cry and painful fluttering of an apparently wounded bird for the plover iB an excellent mimic in this respect, and by these means succeeds in drawing off the novice from her nested treasure. Titlarks, wild ducks, wagtails and sandpipers SIBO thus exercise their reasoning faculties and powers of mimicry.

Death ^simulation is a spcies of mimicry or fraud not unfrequently practiced by birds when suddenly alarmed. The following is one out of numerous instances that might be cited: Some ten yards from her nest on Lough Neagh, a water-hen was discovered lying on her side, partly in the water, her head being concealed by one of the large loose stones which lay about the spot. The bird was picked up by the tip of the wing, and as its wings were relaxed, and to all appearance it was quite dead, the holder was about tojdrop it to the ground again,when, to hiB intense astonishment, the mimic suddenly flapped its wings and took to flight. The landrail has been known to simulate death in a similar manner, and under the closest examination it showed not the slightest sign of life. The pretense was continued until some time after it had been stowed away in the captor's pocket, when, with a sudden effort, it escaped from its prison and flew away as if nothing had happened.

Not only are certain individuals of the feathered tribes true mimice, but it is possible, nay, probable, that some few are ventriloquists. Mr. Rigg Withers tells us that during his wanderings in the forests of Brazil he discovered a bird-ventriloquist which has a peculiar shrieking cry as loud as a peacock's, and which is known as the bell-bird. He thus writes about it: "It is seldom seen in its wild state, being, like the muBical frog, a ventriloquist of very high powers, and, as a sun-lovina bird, a frequenter of the highest tree tops, where its snowwhite plumage and transparent wings render~it almost invisible even when in motion-" From a description of this bird's performances in confinement, it appears that its note9 were heard in every quarter of the small village, and seemed at times to come from the mountains at the back of the village, fully a quarter of a mile away.

Mr. Bowder Sharpe tells us that one day in early spring, when in a wood near Mongeron, France, his ear was arrested by a loud and not unmusical cry, like that of a titmouse. As the sound appeared to be close to where he was standing, he searched all the trees in the immediate neighborhood, but could find no bird of the .tit family. At length, however, he discovered that the notes were produced by a creeper, which was busily engaged in search of insect food on a tree some ten yards away. The cry, he states, was ventriloquial, sometimes appearing to be uttered close at hand and sometimes at a distance.

Whether or not the corncrake is gifted with the power of ventriloquy we do not know, but we well remember how frequently in our bird-nesting dayB we were deluded by this bird. Stealthily making our way along some hedgeeide, we would be suddenly startled by the "Crake, crake" of the landrail, seemingly close at hand. With "cautious steps and slow" we would make our way through the long grass toward the Bpot whence the sound proceeded, when, as though the bird were gifted with the power of invisible flight, it would be transported to a spot some hundred yards away. Toward thia we would cautiously proceed but just when we appeared to be within

few fset, without rustle, without a blade at "gr—s stirring, and apparently without- a paUM, the monotonous "Crake, crake," would be heard at a ami farther distance. As we think of it now, we can distinctly reoall the "haunted" feeling we experienced as we stood in the meadow (it waa evening) listening to the landrail's notes, which seemed to swell and die away almost to an echo, aa does a peal of bells on a fitful breeze and we are strongly inclined to think that the cause of the sound appearing to emanate from BO many points almost at the same time, is due to a ventriloquial power' with which the bird is probably endowed. The grasshopper-warbler ana the ring-ousel possess similar powers, whioh are doubtless a means of protection to them, being used to lure away the intruder from their nests.

THS ARTHUR RICHMOND LETTERS,

They Were Written by Julian Hawthorne and Gall Hamilton. NEW YORK, July 8.—The Commercial

Advertiser this afternoon

Bays:

Within

the past decade there has been no event in the American world of letters which has provoked such wide comment and excited so large a measure of curiosity as the publication in the ^North American Review of a series of letters to prominent persons under the nom de plume of "Arthur Richmond." Th* distinctive characteristics of the lettera were the extreme bitterness of personal and partisan feeling which they betrayed, and the marked excellence and vigor of their literary form. Shortly after the recent death of Mr. Allen Thorndike Rice, sin attempt was made to establish conclusively and permanently the faot that he was not only responsible for their publication but that he had written the Arthur Richmond letters. After this attempt was made Mr. Rice's close friends thought that the real authors should come forward and assume the responsibility of the letten, but as they have not done so, the veil of mystery has been lifted. We have it upon unimpeachable authority—in fact: nom the mouth of a gentleman who was a close peisonal friend of Mr. Rice and had opportunities to see thejmanuscripts, that this series of letter was written by Julian Hawthorne and Gail Hamilton.

DROWNED IN THE LAKE.

A

Wealthy Chicago Clnb Man Is Drowned While flathlng. CHICAGO, July 8.—Herbert A. Pear­

son, a millionaire mine owner from Bonanza City, Custer county, Idaho, was drowned while bathing in the lake near the foot of Thirty-first street lsst night. Mr. Pearson bad hired a yacht, and had invited Miss Emylin Lyton, of a theatrical company now playing in this city, to take a swim. Mr. Pearson was extremely fond of swimming, and had promised to teach Miss Lyton the accomplishment. After cruising about for several hours they came to anchor about three hundred yards off shore.

The boatman was instructed to find out whether there was any shallow water in which Miss Lyton might safely take a first lesson. He launched the yawl and pulled toward shore, while Pearson, who had put on his bathing suit in the cabin, took a header off the yacht's side. The boatman had only pulled a few hundred feet away when he" heard a cry for help, and saw Pearson sinking. He did not rise again and a long but vain search was made for his body. Miss Lyton threw a rope to the swimmer, but it fell short and he did not have strength enough to reach it.

Pearson was a man of great wealth, ived in Chicago since last November, ma! Calumet club. He had extensive mining interests in Idaho and California. He was a first cousin of Mrs. George M. Pullman. He wae 45 years old and unmarried. The body was not recovered.

Inaccuracy of the New Testament.

What certainty have we of the verbal accuracy of any single text on whioh, as we are told, hangs the tremendous issues of heaven or hell? The oldest manuscript of any part of the New Testament takes us no nearer the words- of Jesus and bis disciples than some timejin the fourth century. Hundreds of manuscripts of all or part of the Testament are in existence. But they contain thousands of differences in their readings. Generally these differences are not important that is, they do not materially change the sense. But in some cases they are very important. They amount to a difference as to whole verses, and in a few instances, to whole paragraphs or parts of chapters. Some of these differences mean more than carelessness they indicate a deliberate tampering with the text, under the influence of doetrinal bias. It is sometimes urged in reply to this point that we are as sure of the general accuracy of the new testament text as we are of that of the best classics, such as Cicero's orations. Suppose we are the fact is still entirety beside the point. When some one claims that the salvation of the soul depends on the. reading of a text in Cicero, then the comparison will have some relevancy. Until then, however, it is only a flippant evasion of the difficulty even to raise such a comparison.—[North American Review

Dynamite and Powder.

This morning, a little before three o'clock, an effort was made to blow up, with powder, the old public school building, No. 3, situated on New York street, between Tennessee and Illinois. The explosive was placed under one of the rear windows on the west side of the building. The report, when it ignited, was deafening, rousing people from their slumbers in all portions of the city, but the explosive had evidently been hurriedly and carelessly placed, for it failed to do any damage more than to shatter a score or more of window panes in the building. It was evidently the purpose to do harm to the Indianapolis contingent of the Salvation army, but the Salvationists had vacated the building, which they had been using ss a barracks, several days ago, and are now camping in the northeastern part of the city.—[Indianapolis News.

ANew York Murder.

NEW YORK, July 7.—Last night a drunken ice peddler named Henry E9chen, and a young man got into a quarrel with an old man named Frederick Schopp. He struck the old man in the face, and followed it up with beating him about the face. At this moment the old man's 19-year-old son, Fred, seeing the assault, sprang at his father's assailant, and gave him a blow under the chin.. Eschen fell, striking his head. not hurt, but only unconscious. No arrests were made. But to-day he died, and an autopsy showed that his skull was fractured. Now the police are looking for the boy who struck the blow. The trouble arose out of the fact that the Schopps stopped taking ioe of the peddler.

Fainted in a Washington Pulpit. WASHINGTON, July 7.—Services at the

New York avenue Presbyterian Church this morning were brought to an abrupt close by a startling incident. In the absence of the R$v. W. A. Bartlett, pastor, the pulpit was occupied by the Rev. Hugh Smith Carpenter, D. D., of Brooklyn, who suddenly fainted a few minutes after having begun his discourse. There was no apparent indication of weakness on bis part, and his collapse rudely startled the congregation, and two or three ladies gave way to hysterics. Physicians were at the preacher's side in a moment, and pronounced the attack a mere fainting spell, superinduced by the hot weather. The congregation was dismissed, although the doctor strongly insisted upon resuming his discourse.
