The re-election of P. M. Arthur as grand chief of the order of locomotive engineers is a jnost reassuring indication of the continued supremacy ftf the conservative element in the strongest of all labor organizations. There were rumors that he would be overthrown, but the vote in the Denver convention was decisively in favor of the po'icy whose advocacy by Mr. Arthur has made the order what it is to-day.

The German government proposes to pay 000,000 marks annually for a monthly steamship service to East Africa.

THE GAZETTE AND "C-"

Tin. E.XIMIKSS correspondent "C"' has excited the interest and attention of the gelt satisfied and infatuated free trade or^an, our esteemed contemporary the Gazette. Hie delightful expose of the Lee "tariir reform" talk at the meeting to organize a "tariff reform' club here printed in yesterday's issue got in under the ribs, so to speak, and our contemporary after a vr. tlTort to show that he is mistaken as to the tnrill on fi^'ricultural implements utterly annihilates him by an alleged c-xpoeure of his identity. lint, what coulu be more ridiculous than the sneer of the Gazette that 'C" received only "61 a day

workman at the car thops.-' The Gazette says also that he has betrayed t'.i3 fellow citizens. What nonsense and hypocricsy all this is when it is reculled that the Gazette pays the lowest rate of wages of any daily newspaper in a city of the size of Terre llaute in the United States.

What the Gazette says about the tariff on agricultural implements it rehashed from the talk of ex Commissioner of Agriculture Culinan at the recent meeting of wheat growers at St. Lrjuie. Jt is only necessary to reprint a report of the

same

department to set down both

Colmnn and the iz=tto as "ignoramuses" or worse! Inquiry 1ms been made of this department as to the comparative prices of European ami American agricultural implements, apparently with a view of Importation, if prices were round satisfactory, and customs duties not prohibitive. There Is no indication or any popular desire for such importation among farmers of any part ot the countryStill it has been deemed desirable to give a comparative list of prices, from pries lists at hand, which will fairly represent the various classes of American Implements, and also prices from lists of some of the principal manufactories of Kntflanrf, obtained by our agent for the purpose. it ma.v be well to premise that we do not Import agricultural Implements tor two reasons: 1. European Implements are not wanted by our farmer', and would not generally be used could they be obtained at half price. As a rule they are too cumbrous and clumsy, requiring to much power and accomplishing their work too slowly, l!. American machines are better adapted to specific uses, without unnecessary strength and weight, as our timber is tougher and stronger In proportion to weight, their superiority giving them a market In all parts of the world

A. PRETTY MOUTH.

My hero, Mr. Conway, had been going along journey. He had grown tired of the ever-recurring monotony of people and places. He took in character at a glance, and everybody reminded him remotely, pleasantly, or disagreeably of somebody he knew at home. He had studied the faces, voices, hands, and habiliments of his fellow travelers, and had mentally set them down as morose, tidy, studious, vapid, honest, aristocratic, egotistic, and so on through the list of human attributes.

He was glad., indeed, to make the last change of care, which be did aftercro sing the river. He exercised his tired and impatient limbs in the intervening moments of hurry and bustle between the trains, and at last jumped aboard, congratulating himself there were but forty miles farther before he reached his journey's end. He stood on the platform with his hands in hiB pockets, whistling, until the wind, which was blowing sharply, drove him in shivering! He involuntarily glanced over the passengers, most of whom were a new relay. They were ail awake and quite lively, but he knew how soon they would relapse into somnolency and ennui. He stretched himself at full length in an unoccupied seat, partly slouched his hat, and then fell to dreaming of times past, brought vividly to him now from his nearness to Cousin Fanny, whom he had not seen wnce her marriage long years ago. He had loved Fanny once, desperately, as youths do, and traced all his misanthropy—of which he had a good-humored share—to his early disappointment. He was now iuite a bachelor: was going out west on business for his firm, and had resolved to visit his early idea!, whom he still invested with long, brown curie, cheeks bright and glowing aD a ripe apple, eyes of no discoverable color, so sparkling and so roguish were they. Unconscioutily to himself, he revived the old enchantment, aa he recalled their youthful intercourse, and wondered how she would meet him— bltishingly. as of old?—or sadly, or indifferently? He grew nervous over it, and readjusted bia already sidc-says-iii-clined hat.

A little movement in the seat behind diverted his eyes. 11 was a lady reading, and she was changing her position to get the full benefit of the now fading daylight. Her head was elightly bent, and her beaver hat, with its abundance OL plum's and a veil, entirely hid her eyes, but ho could Eee her mouth.

Who h«s not read, or spoken learnedly, romantically, or practically about eye3 —blue ones" "wet velvets," black ones "liquid souls in mourning?' Setting aside utilitarian consideration, mouths are, esthetically, as much a feature of interest. The charm of a charming mouth has an indehoiteness in it that fascinates more than the direct and eaeily detected power of eyes. ou cau look into black, or blue, or graj orbs, and watch changing color?, dilation, contraction, or a sudden eclipse, and see how each change is fleeted by light, or the exclusion of light but a mouth is a mystery. From rocky sternness to broad laughter each change is bewildering. It is the gateway of speech the outlet of heart and brain. Every man knows how much of weal or woe, in smile, speech or kisis, certain lipa have wrought him even woman remembers or dreams of whispers and tender laughter—of mustache?, and some even go eo far as to tolerate cigars.

This mouth was arranging itself after a smile, he thought very red, very pretty. He was right. The lines contracted, and the two lips closed demurely as hands in pravor. The under lip was full the upper short—a mere coral line at the corners', both together were the verytype of gravity just then. The book she read

WHS

evidently absorbing, serious, he

thought tragic, perhaps. The lipa part ed slowly, intent closed again, tr.'insiixed! All at once, without any visible play of muscles, a premonitory shadow went over them: then a vague gleam: then a slow consciousness the muscles relaxed', loosecnd numerous dimples about the corners, the lips parted, ard out flatbed tiny, white teeth. She was laughing. He thought her hero must have got into some scrape—or rather that the girls in the book must have got him into one —from the amusement and gratifies'ion he detected in her quiet laugh. She glanced up at the window, half in remonstrance, at the meager light, and

HS

she did so caught his eye, curious, studious of her bis whole face—he being unconsciously affected by the emtio in all its stages—on a broad grin. What a half-contemptuous, half-indignant wonder there was in her whole fa':e a= she encountered the gaze! He felt it and was enraged ai himself, slouched his bat still more decidedly, and didn't look up for many minutes. When, at last, he ventured to do so, he saw her book was laid aside and her face turned to the window, through which ciime a faint, red Mush from the dying day. Her profile was exquisite. A email.straight nose, a full eye with visable, dark lsshes, a small, clearly cut chin, and euch a mouth! He knew it could "stir with a song like song, and with silver corded speeches." There was a faraway, dreamy atmosphere about her, not sad,"or world-wise, but preoccupied, as though her own thoughts were sweet and wonderful to her.

The whistle scresmed the train slowly neartd the station, and Mr. Conway piepared to leave. lie glanced back as he reached the door, and saw the lady was also passing out the other way however, in the bustie and confusion, he failed to get- eight of her again. He went mocdiiy to bis hotel. After losing sight of her the nervousness about meeting Cousin Fanny returned. He fancied a thousand ways in which their meeting might occur, but in all probability none of these was the destined one. He looked in the glass, studied his attitudes and glances, but all with no result.

He went to bed, and his tired head 6\vam with the motion of the cars, and he thought of the lady with the pretty mouth. Pretty! it was divine! That full but quiescent outline in repose that mobility in laughter, graceful and spirited, but intangible and indefinite, be would give anything to call up that glowing scintillation again. It was a rare mouth indeed: it had earnest repose: it had eager earnestness it had scorn in that imperceptible curl it had mischief in that demure apathv it had infinite mirth in one smile, dreamy wistfuinees in another. He fell asleep thinkiug of Queen Guinevere riding on her "cream-white mule," who looked so lovely as she swayed, "The rein with dainty ftnger-Ups.

A man had given all other bliss. To waste his whole heart in one kiss. I'pon those perlect lips." In the morning he called on Cousin

Fanny, Mrs. Hurlburt, now a widow He found her an invalid, pale, lovely, very cordial and friendly, but with no apparent remembrance of the time when he had sworn he couldn't live without her. She was helping her little boy with his arithmetic lesson, and Mr. Conway asked if he

WGS

her only child.

"Oh, no I have threw others—Fanny, Henry, Ffora, acd this little one, Albert. Fanny came home from a visit last night, and is late about iising this morning. Something about Mrs. Hurlburt struck him suddenly. Why had he been so obtuse? The lady with the pretty mouth was her daughter there was a wonderful pimilarity. Cousin Fanny's daughter. P.orMr. Cocwaj!.

He sat quietly looktrg in Mre. Uur.burt's face. Why n6td that face, through his hoi* life, have caused him such pain? Why should its type, as il began itself to fiide, have arisen, fresh, youthful, even mere beautiful, to haunt him.'1 If, waa not a cruel face, but patient, sweet, pallid yet his heart ached with the old pain of his youth, and sunk heavily at the new thought that the wonfid was to re open. •Fanny, dear, thi3 is mothers o.d friend and cousin, Mr. Conway," said Mre. Hurlburt, as tne door opened. "I met the gentleman on the care, last night, mamms," answered Fanny after some blushing hesitation, yet smiling in spite cf her desire to keep sedate. "Yes," seid Mr. Conway, awkwardly,

I recognized in you a resemblance to your mother, as she was at your J'g^i and half suspected the relationship.

In this Etetemenr, which we know was not literally truthful, Mr. Conway had a little 6elfiah object in view he had that involuntary 6mile to account and apologize for. But Fanny Bad really awoke in him the same feeling of bewitchment as her mother had once done,^ twinge of unrest which he had not felt at the sight of a face tince. Even an embarrassment came over him. which he, a man of the world, seldom felt.

The morning wore away painfully to him -contemplating his youth in the patient, while face of Mr. Huriburt— feeling hie ye"rs with a new weight as he glancc-d at the daughter, conscious ail the while that youth and years were sadly at cot Micr. with him.

He staid a few daje, and then, afe his business demanded attention, went further wett, promising to stop and tioish his visit on his return. Fanny had grown terribly mischievous during hia short stay. He fancied she made fun of hitr. so constantly was her laugh ringing out in the hull and in the garden, so demure whs Ler roguish mouth whilo with him. She talked little there Was more eloquence in her motion, or ia her quiet, than in ail articulate speech. She evidently considered bim gher mothers guest, and, perliups, thought 1 heir convftvsfitioD oid-Liibhioiifid fiud ^stupid. At any rate, be didn't at all like being made an "uncle so literally- -all young girls didu treat him in that way. lie could talk gayly with the gayest and to have all such qualifications ignored by the prettiest girl he ever saw, and to be consid ered middle-aged and sedate, was anything but pieesing to him. Vet he had no power to change such a state cf thingc- it seemed to be established—and that irrevocably—by the most innocent, yet moat despotic tyrant in the world. He went away, resolving to change this phase of affairs on his return. He had a strong will, and some tact be would not ije out-genoraled by this wiliful little empresa.

Upturned, he met Fanny in the hall as he entered the house. She came forward to meet him, and he, resolving to establish new relations immediately, took her hand warmly and kissed her, watching, meanwhile, the grave eyes which met his unhesitatingly. "Minima ia very ill, Mr. Conway. I am glad you have come. She rf quires to be kept Very cheerful, and we are all so sad that it ia almost impossible for us to do it. We are afraid ahe will never be any better."

Here all his gallantry was blown to the winds again bv her tender, saddened manner, and he had little heart for gayety when he entered the sick room. What a change had como over the pallid, white face! It waa contracted with pain patient still, but fearfully wasted and sharpened by suffering, lie forgot to asGume a cheerful manner, as Fanny had begged him to do, but showed his surprise and regret at tbo change in every feature and only recovered himeelf when he

Raw

Fannj'u Ead face trying to smile,

and saw bow she was endeavoring to cover his awkwardness with light words and a plavful tenderness toward her ntother.

ThoFe were long days, indeed, whi.e the sufferer waited fur the summons which all knew must, goon come. Mr. Conway staid, for Mro. Hurlburt could not bear to have him go. He and Fanny were her constant companions. The daughter's devotion waa beautiful. The, dj ing mother watched and understood her efforts to cheer and comfort her, while the young heart was taking in, day by day. more fully the certainty and greatness of her coming loss. She read, sung tender little 60nge, brightened the children by her own cheerfulness, so that, whenever they came near their mother, their ignorant, child-hearts caught no premonition of the shadow falling upon them, nnd the mother was spared the sorrow of along farewell.

To Mr. Conway this saddened intercourse was blessing he oould hardly comprehend. Daily and hourly to sharu Fanny's deepest solicitude, to minister, with her, the moat loving comfort, to sustain her under the gradual but terrible burden that was gathering upon her henrt, was all that he could have asked.

It was mid-autumn long, warm, smoky days. Just at evening, when Mrs. Hurlburt a pain seemed to subside, and she grew calmer and more at rest, Mr. Conway and Fanny would walk down into the garden. He watched sadly the grave lines which settled more and more about the mouth, the deeper look in the eyes but,oh! how gladly did he tee and feel the growing reliance on him, which she betrayed in every act! The weight ot her little hand on his arm grew more trusting and bis heart was full to the brim of worship deeper than it had ever known before for it was the worship of a matured nature, the gathered idolatry of years, and of suffering.

We will pa-e by the blow no human skill could avert.' We will pas9 by the grief no human sympathy could alleviate. Mr. Conway did all in bia power to soften the pain and loss.

In time he told Fanny the story of his life and of his love, and be heard the sweetest of all words from the pretty mouth, now wearing some of its mother's patience instead of only laughter. .No truer words were ever spoken—no holier ones can be spoken—than those which made them one tiesh.

And the pretty mouth now smiles a mother's love on one "sole darling of their house and heart."—[Peterson's Magazine.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 30, 1889.

Estates Aceregntlng Si* Hundred Tliounanil Acres May be His. Prince Haizfeldt belongs to a German family of great autiquity, with a remarkable record on battlefields and in courts. His father, Count Alfred Hatzfeldt, the founder of the Wildenberg branch of the family, was born on April '25,18*25, and was raised to the rank of prince in 1870. lie married, on September 10, 1S52, Gabrielle, Countets of Dietrich-&t«jiu-Proekam-Le=lie, who was a few months hit junior. They have t**o children, Prince Francis, bom on June 15, 18153, and the Countess Antoinette Gabrielie M- rie Clotilde Cyprienne, born on September 2«?. 1S*J6 The latter married oci iily 2, 1SS5, Count jbc-rt, of A ann. Prince Francis is knowD in ail the c»p itais of Europe 83 a society man, club man and patron of 1 he turf. Tlis* residences o£ his family are at the chateau of SchoenEtein, in the district of Coblecz and at Berlin. The Sc'itenstein Chateau belongs to PrincessGabnelle, as.well as the eslatesof L^ipnic and Weiskercheu, in Moravia, Austria, in all about six hundred thousand acres. The eutailed states of the family are those nf Calcum, Caldenburg and Morp, in the province of Dus?eldotf. Prince Frnrcs will inherit "all of t' e3e estates, which will make him a comparatively rich man. Count Paul Hatzfeldt, the young brother of Prince Alfred, is now the Garmau embassador at London, and stands high in the favor of Prince Bismarck.

A San Francisco special 6ayt: While the belli of the greBt Brompton oratory in "Merrie England" to-day pealed forth the wedding chimes, a woman whoso form is bent and whose hair ie whitened by the storms of 70 years was mourning in San Francisco for a daughter who is dead to her forever. The heartbioken old lady ia Mrs. Prentice, and the daughter for whom she we**ps ia the lady who this morning became Princess Hatzfe'dt. Twenty-seven years ego Clara Huntingwas born in Sacramento. Ed word Prentice, on obscure grocery man of the capital city, was her father. They had ano'her child, a son, natued Edward H. Prentice, who is now a clerk in the railroad building, Fourth and Townsend streets. Mr. Collis P. Huutington married the sister of Mre. Prentice. In the great Hood of lS02tbht let'tdeath and devastation in the valley of Sacramento the father of Clara Huntiugton was drowned. He left nothing but poverty as a legacy to his widow and orphaus. Mr. Huntington had no children, so bis wife offored to adopt and care for her pister'a Diiby, a giri who was not born until after her father's death.

The poor widow fought-bravely to provide for her children, but the fates wt-re against her, and she was worsted in the struggle. Mr. Huntington got hold

of

the baby. He took her Eabt with biiri and kept her there until her education was completed and ehe entered society. When Mi&a Huntington met her mother on the occasion of her visit to California, after her long absence, there waa, as before snid, noth ng but tho iciest jrmhlity on the part of the young woman. The glamour of wealth and society had done its work— the child was estranged from the mother who brought her into the world. Clara avoided meeting her mother on every possible occasion, acd her brother as well.

Clara has visited her native slate often, but to her mother she has been but little better than stranger. A little over a year ago Ci'ira waa iu Chicago. Her brother traveled thither for the purpore of feeing her. She heard of bia coming and before his arrival the had returned to Xew York and sailed for Europe.

THE tiTOVB MANV BLKY I)AV

How B- allowed His Groutiu-ss ntid Ability as a Liar. In a Detroit stove store, says tho Free Press, a man came rushing in and said to the proprietor: "Have you gone into lying for a trade?" "Oh, no." "Well, you lied ab^ut that stove." "Man on his way up there now to put it up. Flushed to death, you know. Hope you haven't suffered."

The next caller was a woman, who fastened a cold glare on the stove man and deliberately said: "I'll never do a cent's worth of business with you itgiiin if you live here fifty yenrs." "Stovepipe ia on the wagon there nnd ready to go up, ma'atn. Woke up in the night lo hope you wouldn't be put out."

The third caller was a boy, who stood in the door and called. "Hey, yob! My father says 'd like to knock your head off."' "Oh, jes, you are Mr. Blank's son. Just sent a man up to your home with that damper ten minute3 ago. Lost the sale of a stove to hurry him off." "Are those fair samples of your callers?" was asked the dealer. "Juet about. I catch it about twenty times day at thia season rf the year." "And you never talk back?" "Ntver. I hustle and do the best I can, nud if a kicker comes in I hold my peace or talk thffy. One word back talk would lose their trade. Everybody waits till the last minute for a etoveor repairs, and then everybody comes with a rush. Thete comes a

A inerinaV Tallest bimiiey. There wa3 completed Saturday the tallest smoke shaft in America, on the grounds of the Fali Hi veriron works. The chimney is 310 feet high above the granite base, and is thirty feet square at the bottom. Previous to its completion the tallest smoke stack in the country waa that recently finished for the Ciark thread company, at Newark, A'. J. Thia is 335 feet high, twenty-eight feet at the base and coat 8*25,000. The tallest chimney in the ^orld ia ot Paisley, Scotiaud. It ia over five hundred feet high.

The Territorip*.

With the admission ot the four new states, there will remain five organized and two unorganized territories. All of these, with the possible exception of Alaska, will likewise become states before the close of the present century, there is good reason to believe, and thus the whole area cf the country between the two oceans will be repreaented in both branches of congress and in the electoral college.

About Arizona.

The possibilities of Arizona, as mentioned in the report of the committee on irrigation, ere.far greater than have ever been estimated before they were carefully studied. The valley of the Gila is eaid to be as fertile as that of the Nile. In that section alone there are 10,000,000 ot acres that can be reclaimed, one-third from the surface waters alone, in New

Mexico there are 25,000,000 aorea and in California 20,000,000 irrigable, and certain to be magnificently fertile if they are irrigated.

O-Jtober 20.—The All-

Americcs delegation was not ready this morning at 9 o'clock to inspect the tire depar ment exhibition" that had been fixed bv the local committee to be given at the hour. The travelers were chiefly' in b^d. They were tired. Nearly five bundtvd tuiles of travel on Monday and reo-ption hospitalities until 1 a. m. had given ti*n?m ze^t for rest. Thus the start in carriages for sight-seeing was more than an hour late. General Henderson, who f•. the expedition »t Albany, N. Y., was of the travelers to day. They cro-seJ the big bridge, returned and visiled an estabiishm-r.t for stamping tin, the process tf which had been seen in Meriden, Conn., plo-.v foundry, the like of which bed been waiktd through at Sjuth Ber.d, Ind.. went thro.igh a great cracker b:»kery where a coliation was served visited a school for manual tracing of boys. Hod then the Miry institute for your-g girls. At the fair grounds the visitors were lunched at the house ot the St.. Lnuis x-key club, after which the drive waa resutned. After leaving the club houee, the party was driven through some line residence streets and bv the southern reservoir to the Anheuser Busch brewery. The brewery was inspected and the product tested, along with the true German accompaniment of pumpernickel and Sweitzer cheese. The excursionists returned to their hotel at 5 o'clock. lathe evening they were eulertnined by the Marquette club, which had arranged a reception for their b?netir, and just before midnight they were again aboard their special train en route for Kansas City.

tho insas City Times. A

daily patron of tne successful merchant, »fter buying his sack of corn yesterday, asked:

Wnv i" it that you don't keep one stand?" Yesterday you were nearly two blocka down the e.treet, and the day before you were at some other place. Why don't you get one place and keep it, and you will have a regular custom?"

The Italian responded, after pereuasiot": "No regular cuBtoines. Peoplo-a-buya when tink of it. Puris one man and buya cf anotha. Seea Mericana down street? He popa corn slow, causa nobody buy.

Accounts have been received of a socalled enow lloA-er, said to have beendia covired by Count Anthoakuff in the most.northern portion of Siberia, where the grourd ia continually covered with frost. Tne wonderful object shoots forth from the fro/.in soil only on the first day of each succeeding year. It lives for but a single day, then reajlves to its original elements. The leaves are three in uumber, and each ab.iut three inches in diameter. They are developed only on thnt side of the stem toward the north, and each seems to be covered with microscopic crystals of snow.

Collided Willi a Whale.
