John L. Sullivan's father wants hiB boy to go to congress. By all means send him to the senate. We want to see that brave bush whicker from Kentucky pull John Lu'b ear.

Indiana Igot two plums out of the federal patronage pudding yesterday the treasury third auditorship for Mr. Hurley, of New Albany, and the consulship at Newcastle, England, for Mr. Horace C. Pugh, of this city. __

Judge Mack has begun saving at the spile at the court house and has discharged a janitor or two. During the past year idle jurymen, bailiffs et al. have drawn more money from the county treasury than would pay a dozen janitors and their failure to render the serv ice required of them was the fault of the courts.

The present outlook is that the immigration to this country will fall off 100, 000 this year, the decrease being plainly accounted for by the fact that the South American countries are making strenu ous efforts to divert the tide to the south of us, especially of the Italians and Hun garianB, and we wish our South American friends many happy returns of the year.

WHY NOT BE CANDID AND FAIR. The Clay county miners have decided to stay on a strike rather than work on the terms offered. These terms, as Is well known, were a reduction of the previous wages about I(i and 18 per cent, The amount of work furnished at the wages which were reduced had, In a year, enabled the miners to earn only an average of about $5 a week. The proposed cut is 16 to 18 per cent, of these wages and no more work Is promised under the cut rate than under the old. This means that miners are asked to work for about $4.40 to $4.20 a week. It would be refreshing to see the local ministerial brethren, who are hot-foot for the salvation of public morality on the Sunday base ball question, display a little worrlment over a situation in which 5,500 men, women and children are slowly starving on charity's dole, and their only outlook the pauper wages of less than *4.50 a week.—LIndlanapolls News.

THE EXPRESS has but little hot-foot sympathy with the opposition to Sunday ball playing—would that there were no worse diversions offered to the people of cities—but will the News please let us know in what way a minister of the gospel can assert himself to change the law of supply and demand? True he may pray for the cessation of the flow of natural gas that has been heralded as of great benefit to Indianapolis, and thereby increase the demand for coal and thus afford more promise of work in the Clay county coal mines, but we don't believe that is what the News wants done. If the News would have the ministers pray for a distribution of the surplus of laboring men in Clay county to other and fruitful fields there would be some sense in its desire, and we would soon be relieved of the most distressing dilemma that ever confronts the wage-earner— the division of the labor of one man into two parts. The $5 and the $1.50 a week tnlk is misleading, and is much indulged in among newspapers of less conscience than the News, but the News knows, and the miners know, that even at the rate of wages proposed by the operator the miner working eight hours a clay can make good wages. If he can not get eight hours work a day and six days in the week does thn News propose to hold the operators at fault? Does the News mean to say that these greedy operators being able to make a profit on their coal at their own rate of mining wages, purposely reduce the production to the end that they, mercenary as they are, may starve the miner and his dependents. We prefer to believe that the operators would rathea have the profit than the gratification of. a vindictive emotion. Indeed, we believe that avarice is the only emotion that holds supreme sway with most of them, and that they could no more resist the opportunity of making money even if to do so meant a complete abandonment of all their points ef contention than they could resist death's summons. And yet, from the News columns in the past few days we learn that they have seen contract after contract which they formerly held pass to other mining districts, indeed, the devil is not so black as he is painted.

A QUEER RELIGIOUS SECT.

Dr. H. Newborough, the agent of the Shalemite colony in New Mexico, is at the American Exchange hotel, says a recent issue of the San Francisco Examiner. He is the author of "Oahspe, the Bible of the Church of Tae," which the Shalemitee constitute. His mission is to secure infant children to bring to Shalem. The Shalemitee have come to the conclusion that there is little hope of securing adult converts to their faith, and have therefore set about procuring children. These children they propose to raise in the faith and perpetuate their customs and religion.

Dr. Newborough made no secret of his mission. "I have come to San Francisco, said he, "to gather any infants I can find, and will take them back to New Mexico with me. I do not, of course, expect parents to give up their children to me, though if they understood they would not hesitate, but among the orphans and foundlings and outcasts there will doubtless be some who will go with me to grow up in our colony. Previous to coming to San Francisco I was at New Orleans, and there I gathered six young babies and took them to Shalem. I can expect none from the sectarian orphan asylums. It is not likely that a Catholic or Methodist institution will give its charges to be brought up in another religion. The private foundling homes and the lying-in hospitals, however, have no such scruples. "Two midwives on Howard and Mission streets have each promised to give me a pretty child that is only a burden to them. I persuaded them that the children would be better off with us than here, even if they had the good luck to be adopted into some family. So I will not return to Shalem empty-hand-ed. I expect to gather two or three more children and then I shall go. "The children at the Shalem colony," he continued, "are as healthy as any children in the world. As they get no meat, their blood is clear and their skin is free from blemish. You don't see any pimply, blotched faces among the Shalemite babies. No indeed humors of the skin are unknown. "You see, our object and our hope is that these babies will grow up strong, clean-blooded men and women, and in their progeny the bad instincts and disorders that are the natural result of all these centuries of flesh-eating will be bred out and their children will be God's chosen. For none can know God save they approach him. The source of all selfish passions and contention is flesheating. As our Bible says: 'Flesh diet had made man foul from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.' Nearly all people had some ailments, as weak lungs, back, throat, chest or rheumatism, catarrah, kidney weakness, prolapsus, decayed teeth or deaf earftv Yea, the people smelt so of flesh and blood food that they could only be compared to a den of wolves or flesh-eat-ing animals. To hide the smell they smoked tobacco or anointed themselves with various perfumes. Carnivorous diet had reduced man to be little more than a carnivorous animal and a fighter in the struggle of life. The people were of four kinds: First, turbulent and quarrelsome second, silently selfish third, hypocritical, smooth-tongued, and fourth, paupers and dependents. The dependents comprised the vast majority of the people. "All of these traits have to be eradicated before we can approach Jehovah, the father of God?" "Yes, but did not you yourself write this bible?"

For answer he produced the book. It is almost as large as a Webster's dictionary. He opened it at the first page and pointed to the top of the page. It read: "Book of Jehovah's Kingdom on Earth, Which Containeth Within It the Book of Shalem. All of which is ante-script. "Wherein God revealeth his plans for the redemption of the world from sin and all manner of unrighteousness and disbelief and showeth man how to take part in the redemption to change all the peoples of the earth into peace and harmony, for their own good, that they may glorify the Almighty in His wonderful creations." "What does it matter what instrument is chosen to record the word of the Almighty?" asked the doctor. "The Shalemite colony," he continued, "is near Las Cruces, on the line of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, and a couple of hours' ride from El Paso. "We have a settlement there on a large tract of land belonging to Mr. Howland, who is an enthusiastic member of our sect. He is quite a wealthy man, or would be if the property he accumulated belonged to himself alone, but the property of the faithists belongs to the community. There are not many of us at the colony and that is partly the reason why I am now actively engaged in procuring children to bring up in the faith. Three verses in the oahspe give you the key to the logic of our creed: '76. Ye have beholden how farmers go about gathering up calves and colts and the young of all sorts and they take them to a good place and feed them and when they are grown up, they are the choice in market. '77. Now, behold, there are thousands of fatherless and destitute children in Uz, which, left to themselves, either die or grow up to be thieves, robbers, and murderers. '78. These are cheaper than calves and young colts. And they may be raised to be of more profit to themselves and the state than ten times as many cattle.' "So we take charge of the children. "At Shalem there are all the modern appliances of farming, though we have hardly farmed successfully. There is a steam laundry and a community kitchen. All of the Shalemitee live in one big building, and all have a common interest in the products of the colony. Cattle and fowl are kept only for the milk and eggs they furnish, or to work, and they are not sold to any one who will slaughter them for food. Marriage is sacred among us, and no man can have more than one wife. In addition to abstaining from flesh food, we drink no liquor and smoke no tobacco. The breakfast, purely of vegetable food, of course, is served at 6 o'clock in the morning. The other meal of the day is served at noon, and they eat no more until the next morning. The children, of course, get food oftener. As for myself, one meal a day is all I take. We seek to make no adult converts, but if they choose to join us we take them, and if they leave us we pay their passage from Shalem to whatever part of the union they choose to go. "If they rob us we do not prosecute them. In everything we follow the Bible. Our clothes are loose, as it provides our costumes are white and not dissimilar in cut from those worn by your Chinese. We make no distinction in the color of the babies we take, and there are colored as well as white children at Shalem. Sometimes the boys run away after the flesh pots, but I

think the majority will grow up as they should." The Bible is a conglomeration of almost every other known testament. The names of other characters from the new and old testament, the. koran, the veda, and the rest appear in slightly changed form, as Jehovih, Kriste, Budha, Hoeea, Confucius, Brahma, and others.

The Bible, as stated, is ante-script. The events of the founding and growth of Shalem have not transpired yet, bnt they are expected. The people are represented as coming from Uz, a thin disguise for the U. S. The Shalemitee have adopted from the Panic language—whatever that may be—such words as eekgus, tehgna, samgna, and sorga for fruits, nuts, vegetables, etc.

One of their principals is that a day's work is worth but a day's work—neither more nor less. Thus, if a doctor attend to a gardener all day, the gardner can only repay him by working in the doctor's garden one day.

Now, it is doubtful if there are two score of people at Shalem, but they are hopeful and apparently contented.

Photographs of the adopted children at Shalem, which Dr. Newborough had, showed that the vegetable diet was evidently nutritious, as a plumper, hap-pier-looking lot of youngsters it would be hard to find.

Dr. Tanner, who fasted forty days, and who now threats that he will have himself buried for forty days, was at one tim a prominent member of the Shalemite colony.

Resignation of General Manager Jeffrey. CniCAGO, July 20.—A local paper says:

It has just been learned that Mr. E. T, Jeffrey has tendered his resignation as general manager of the Illinois Central railroad company. The resignation was forwarded to President Stuveeant Fish before the latter's departure for Europe in the early part of the present month. From what can be learned no action has yet been taken on Mr. Jeffrey's resignation, and it is probable that nothing definite regarding it until Mr. Fish's re turn from Europe next October. It is said that the relations between Mr. Jeffrey and President Fish have been somewhat strained for Bome time, principally on account of the interference of Vice Preeident Harriman with the management of the traffic affairs of the company, Preeident Fish backing up the latter in what Mr. Jeffrey considered the usurpation of the general manager's duties, _____

TERRE HAUTE, April 13th, 1889. To Miss OPHELIA BROUGHTON, EAU CLAIRE, WIS.: I know not, dearest Ophelia, if, as you say, the blame was mine. My grief at parting blinds me to all reason regret for the happy days that can never return is consuming me. When I recall that afternoon in May when we pledged our faith, and picture you as then, standing by the stile on the border of the wood, your beautiful face tinged with the fluctuating color that my passionate words evoked, your drooping head, with its wealth of golden curls that the gentle wind tossed about your temples, your graceful, willowy form clad in dainty, your heaving bosom, and blue bell eyes swimming in tears of happiness as I folded you to my breast in that first moment of excessive delight which your whispered love afforded me— when I picture you thus, I feel, in the desolation of my heart to-day, that there is no truth in the world.

Could I then have believed that those eyes could ever look coldneee, that gentle voice be harsh in cruel utterance, or that loving heart throbbing in unison with my own ever be Bteeied against me? Oh, the curse of memory! How it maddens mel How loathsome to me even is the aroma of the wood, the breath of the clover, and the fragrance of the blossoming plum trees that filled the air on that never to be forgotten day! Oh, miter.1', despair! Beat high, beat low my heart—nothing can exceed your blissfulness in the past, or your hopeless sorrow of the present!

It is done—past all remedy another fills your heart and gladdens your days, while I must walk alone, my faith and hope blasted, and the chains of memory ever chafing my wounded, bleeding heart. Adieu. WILL CARLYLE.

IN CHU&CH.

Just In front of my pew sits a maiden— A little brown wing on her hat, With Its touches of tropical azure *,

And sheen of the son upon that. Through the bloom-colored pane shines a glory

By which the vast shadows are stirred But I pfhe for the spirit and splendor That painted the wing of the bird.

The organ rolls down its great anthem, -, With the soul of a song it is blent But for me, I am sick for the singing

Of one little song that Is spent.

The voice of the curate is gentle— "No sparrow shall fall to the ground' But the poor broken wing on the bonnet

Is mocking the merciful sound.

Close and sweet is the breath of the lilies Asleep on the altar of prayer But my soul Is atlilrst for the fragrance

Far out in tlie bountiful air. And I wonder If ever or never, With white wings o'er-weary and furled, I shall Ond the sweet spirit of pity

Abroad at the heart of the world. —[Mrs. T. W. Brown.

THE TEN HEALTH COMMANDMENTS. 1. Thou shalt have no other food than at meal time. 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any pies or put into pastry the likeness of anything that is in the heavens above or in the waters under the earth. Thou shalt not fall to eating it or trying to digest it. For the dyspepsia will be visited upon the children to the third and fourth-generations of them that eat pie and long life and vigor upon those that live prudently and keep the laws of health. 3. Remember thy bread to bake it well, for he will not be kept sound that eateth his bread as dough. 4. Thou shalt not indulge sorrow or borrow anxiety in vain. 5. Six days shalt thou wash and keep thyself clean, and the seventh thou shalt take a great bath, thou, and thy Bon, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maid-servant, and the stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days man sweats and gathers filth and bacteria enough for disease wherefore the Lord has blessed the bath-tub and hallowed it. 6. Remember thy sitting-room and bed-chamber to keep them ventilated, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 7. Thou shalt not eat hot biscuit. 8. Thou shalt not eat thy meat fried. 9. Thou shalt not swallow thy food unchewed, or highly spiced, or juet before hard work, or just after it. 10. Thou Bhalt net keep late hours in thy neighbor's house, nor with thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid servant, nor his cards, nor his glass, nor with anything that is thy neighbors.—[New England farmer.
