OBITUARY.

The many friends of Mrs. Margaret Caroline Van Valzah are deeply grieved over her death, which occurred at the family residence of her husband, Dr. Robert Van Valzah, on Friday morning, July 12th, 1889, at half past ton o'clock. She WBB well-known to all the citizens of Terre Haute for the past twenty years, and to the older members of the community through her residence here of almost her entire life. She was born at St. Louis, Mo., on the 18th of July, 1847, during the brief sojourn of her parents in that city. That she should die at so early an age was, in the light of her ancestry, an unexpected and untimely event. She was the grand-daughter of the Rev. Samuel K. Sparks, who reached the age of 96 years, and who was actively engaged in the gospel ministry for threequarters of a century, and was the founder of the First Baptist Church of this city. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nimrod C. Sparks, who both lived beyond the allotted span of life, and died respected and regretted. Sprung from such an ancestry, and coming from the hardy, pioneer stock, her death at the early age of 42 could only have resulted from complications to which such conditions and science must alike give way.

There are many martyrdoms in life and death, which, though not so sublime as thoee upon which eternal principles are established, are no less marked by exalted courage and such was her martyrdom of pain and suffering, with its wonderful suppression of complaint, to save the feelings of the dear ones around her. And when an alternative was suggested that gave but the slightest hope for life, she was ready to become a martyr to science itself. To Bay that she feared death would be a slander upon courage as exalted as ever faced an untimely and untoward fate.

In the relations of domestic life, in the correct sphere of woman,—the presiding genius and angel of the household and home,—she was the true and faithful wife, the kind and indulgent mother. Entering into all the plans of her husband with wifely interest, she was his trusted confident and counsellor." Believing in him, as the wife should believe in the husband, she espoused his views, and purposes and contests with unflinching fidelity. Whilst she controlled her children as a prudent mother should, they mourn to-day over the loss of a fond, not a stern parent, over the death rather of one who was always a dear companion and friend.

Ah, good, kind soul! If in the illimitable brightness of an everlasting life your eyes can have the contracting power to look into the, at beet, narrow and dim defiles of human existence, you will see in the littleness of this life still boundless affections—because they reach beyond the grave—and perennial memories of your too brief sojourn here.

MISS ALICE COPELAND DEAD.

Demise of a Most Estimable Young Woman at New Albany,

The following, from a New Albany newspaper, will be of sad interest to her many friendB in this city: "Miss Alice Copeland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George C. Copeland,' died yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, at the family residence, on east Elm street, New Albany, after a relapse of typhoid fever. The death of Miss Copeland was, indeed, a sad one. She had attained young womanhood, and was a most accomplished and esteemed lady. As a musician she had risen to a high position, both BB a vocalist and instrumental performer, and as an organist she had few equals. For twelve years she has had charge of the grand organ of the First Presbyterian Church, New Albany, and BO well had she conducted the music of the church that her reputation spread abroad into other cities and states. At the time she was taken ill Bhe was at Birmingham, Ala., whither she had gone to open a grand organ for anew church. The deceased had many lovable traits of character, and had endeared herself to a very large circle of friends. The sympathies of the community go out to the family of the deceased in their great loss. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 2 o'clock, from the First Presbyterian Church."

WILL MRS. MART BRADY BE DUCKKD

She Has Been Indicted In Jersy City as a Common Scold. NEW YORK, July 13.—Will Mrs. Mary

Brady be ducked? That is the moral and legal question that is exercising the citizens of Jersey City.

The grand jury of Hudson county kje indicted Mrs. Brady—who lives in Van Horn street in that part of Jersey City known as Lafayette—as a common scold under an old law which has not been repealed, and which makes the penalty for the offense a ducking from a ducking-stool. This is the first indictment for such an offense known in the history of Hudson county and probably the first in the state. There is no ducking-stool in Hudson county at present, and the burning question which is being discussed in Jereey City and Hoboken is: "Will a duckingstool be constructed and will the old blue law against common scolds be enforced in this case?"

A Body Fonnd at Johnstown. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., July 13.—The body of Mrs. Mary A. Swineford, of St. Louis, was recovered in the drift above the bridge to-day. When found her gold watch was sticking fast to her breast without being held by any guard or chain. The body was one of the best preserved found for a long time, the features being almost perfects The Mrs. Swineford found was the mother-in-law of young Mrs. Swineford, whose brother, Mr. Bischoff, has been here for a month past, hunting for the bodies of his sister and her mother-in-law. Both ladies were passengers on the ill-fated day express. Since his search has been partially rewarded, Mr. Bischoff expresses his determination to remain until he finds his sister.

TERBE HAUTE, April' 18, '89.

DEAR FRIEND: The breeze that whispers at my window brings the sad tidingB that you are lonely, yet not alone. The shuttle that carries the silken threade of love for you ahall weave a pattern of rosss that will bloom so fair and true amidst the sharp stinging thorns of your sadness, that the woof shall be filled with naught but threads of gladness. This lovely Easter morning, when all nature smiles and is decked in robes of beauty and loveliness, our hearts should throb a happy response, and join the triumphant throng in its onward and upward march of joy. Do not believe me loved one that I ask you to forget me, fqr such a thought could never exist. I only ask that you turn this feeling of loneliness into a channel of hope that brighter days are yet to come, and that you devote the time given to despair in gathering and storing knowledge and wisdom for our mutual good. The opportunity of your life is now, to-day, and calls you to grasp it with a determination to win, the laurala that await you will reward you a hundred fold for the sacrifice. Be of good cheer and courage, the time is short when we shall meet again.

Please answer that I may get it by next steamer. Eternaly yours,

TJMBUCTOO, April 1,1889.

MY HEART'S DEAREST: a so happy. I have just been to the express office and got my ring. Such a surprise —a diamond! Why, Sam, you are too good for anything. I never had anything nearly so nice before. But I wish you were here, dearest, I could tell you how much I appreciate it so much better than I can write it. I was so touched by your little note. Yes "Forever and a day" will we be true to each other, and love and trust to the greatest possible extent. I want to prove to you all the reet of my life how much I love you and thank you for the gift of yourself, and the pledge—the ring. When you come I can say more Sam, dear, I am impatiently counting the time now until you come to see me. Five weeks from to-day you will be here Bgain. We shall appreciate each other more than ever after being apart for so long a time. Only a few more months now until we can always be together—"a consummation devoutly to be wished."

You Bhould Bee some of my efforts at playing Bridget. But I scarcely think I would let you sample any of my dishes for fear of disastrous consequences. But don't be alarmed. I shall not let you try them until I am more experienced.

Now, dearest, I must close for to-day. Be a good boy and write often. Lovingly. MARY.

BRIDGETON, Ind., July 6,1889.

MY DEAREST LITTLE ANGEL, NF.WTIE: How happy I am now that the time" is BO near at hand when we two are to be made one.

O, my darling, I sometimes think you write as if you are not anxious for the time to come.

Why, deareet, do you talk so coldly of late when you write?

IB

it because of

the hard times and you are alarmed about having a wife to support? But never fear, your little dovie can get along nicely even though she may have to live economically for a while. L9t us hope for better times and be glad that they are no worse now.

Cheer up, sweet jewel, we need not "sling style," nor put on more "airs" than we can carry after we are married. Sweet lump of good humor, you can hardly imagine how very anxious I am for the titno to come when we can call each other mine. Let us be married without more delay. My Honey bird— Oh, won't you now, Bay.

My adorable Newtie, I-'an assure you that I have not been flirting with many drummers this winter, and I sincerely trust that you have not been to see any of the girls where you are, especially during the big meeting that you have been attending.

My idol, don't suspect me of jealousy. I only bate to think of you going with other girls.

Now, my love, allow me to tell you how to economize: discontinue the use of tobacco and cigars, and ceaBe to treat your friends—especially the ladies. And I will agree to sell my big engagement ring (if you don't object) and get along with only four hats a year and live on bread and water. To be with you and be your duckey wife would make me truly happy.

My dove, despise not the heart BO devoted and true, whose every emotion concentrates in you.

For my love for you is like old cheese, the older it gets the stronger it is. When you write be sure to call me some pet name. Call me a Feesh or something nice.

Bye bye, sweetie, a thousand sweet kisses on your sweet little lips. Your devoted sugar-lump, SAT-TJE.

A NEW WHEAT DISEASE.

How "Bunt," or "Stinking Smut," May Be Separated From the Wheat. INDIANAPOLIS, July 13.—Horace E.

Stockbridge, Phv D., director of the government agricultural experiment station for Indiana, located at Purdue university, near Lafayette, haB been inveetigating a new wheat disease that has appeared in certain sections of the state, particularly in La Grange county, and which is seriously affecting the wheat crop over a considerable area. The damage likely to be wrought by it, and the rareness with which it occurs in this country, seem to render a brief description of the infection of importance to the agricultural community. The disease is a fungoid growth, known as "bunt," or "stinking smut," on account of its strong and disagreeable odor. It is rarely found in America, but is not uncommon in England. The wheat head, on ripening, may possess a very nearly normal appearance, but on shelling, the grains are found to be filled with a black, greasy powder, the result of the growth of the fungus, beginning with the very germination of the seed and keeping pace with the growth of the plant. Its action is no more harmful than that of common smut, but its odor renders it more objectionable. Where not very abundant, it may be separated from the good grain either by fanning or by washing. It ia very apt to occur so abundantly in a field, however, as to render the entire crop well-nigh worthless. It does not spread in the field, but the germs producing it adhere to the grain, and are thus sown with the seed. Seed wheat may be freed from the ores by being soaked in a solution of blue vitriol (sulphate of copper) for thir-ty-six hours, four ounces of sulphate to one gallon of water.

WHAT IS VICTORIA WORTH

An Interesting Question That is Soon to be Answered.

It has been more than once intimated on the part of the English government and the sovereign that there has been no fear of producing the accounts of expenditure as regards the civil list during the reign of the queen. Her majesty has been accustomed to keep close and accurate accounts, and she has given her consent to the production of these accounts from her accession down to the present period. It will be shown whether there has been any saving. This disclosure, it iB thought, will effectually silence that section of the radical party which has denounced the queen for hoarding large sums of money out of the civil list, and it is expected that it will prove that her majesty has rendered most generous assistance to all members of her family who were in need of it. Monday the committee on royal grants will hold its first meeting, and all that has been demanded by the radical party and more will be conceded. It is understood it is held that the time has come when an end should be put to the extravagant attacks which have been made upon the sovereign on account of her supposed enormouB wealth. The demands for the production of her will, for instance, which have come of late from various radical newspapers have been o&the most offensive description, and it was probably felt by a majority of her advisers that the best way to treat them was to disclose the whole state of her majeety's means, although her will remains, of course, her own property.

The Yellow Garter.

The craze for the yellow silk garters has grown to large proportions, and now the dainty article is kept in stock in every store which women patronize in the land. The first appearance of the garter in the hands of street fakirs, according to the New York Sun, has been in Philadelphia, where an old colored peddler was seen a few days ago the center of an interested crowd on the corner of Broad and Market streets. There weren't many women in the crowd, and it is safe Uf say the fakir did not make his fortune. He didn't Beem to mind that, though, but kept dangling the garters in the eyes of passing girls and monotonously chanted, "For the way you put 'em on is the way you take 'em off, and the way you take 'em off is the way you put 'em on."—[Memphis Avalanche.

The Hottest Weather Known.

"What is the hottest weather ever known in the United States?" The question is answered in the May bulletin of the Kentucky statistical weather service. The highest temperature recorded by the United States signal service at Phoenix and Fort McDowell, Ariz., in une, 1883. The thermometer marked 119 deg. However, unofficial observers report temperatures as high as 128 and 122 deg at Mammoth Tank and Humboldt, Cal. The coldest weather recorded by the service was 69 deg below zero, at Pbplar River, Mon. But this is -a warm place compared with Werchojansh, Siberia, the coldest inhabited spot on the globe. The thermometer there has been as low as 90 deg below zero. In view of these figures let us not complain of a paltry 90 deg above zero.
