IT IS indeed a pitiable spectacle to have •?the representative of the U. S. treasury go down to New York and call in the representatives of a lot of Lombard St. English Jews and ask them to loan money to pay the ordinary running expenses of the government. The Democratic leaders like to stand in with the English, but that is too much of the good thing and is indeed disgusting to all true Americans.

THIS Republican legislature should remember that Indiana legislative precedent is not a good criterion to go by. The legislatures heretofore have been Democratic and their tendency to employ a Sarge number of useless employees at high ••wages. The idea of not being able to get •competent men to watch around a door in .a good warm place for less than $5 a day is ridiculous, $3 would be an abundance.

*WE have not heard of any law yet to prevent members of the Indiana House 4tnd Senate from receiving railroad passes. That is just about as much bribery as -talcing money. The Legislature in voting themselves 10 cents a mile mileage each way took at least four times as much as their fare will cost, but then that is an old and time honored steal, not only in .sill Legislatures, but in Congress. The -way to reform is to reform and quit your aneanness. Let Republican newspapers •over the State speak right out and demaud that this Republican Legislature do what the platform promised they would do.

AMERICA'S LEADING REVIEW

THE FORUM will take up for discussion, during 1895, an unusually wide range of timely and important topics by the most eminent writers in the fields of Politics, Finance, Sociology,

Literature, Religion, Art, and Science.

To be without The Forum is to miss the best help to clear thinking.

A catalogue of tlie writers wlio have contributed articles to THE FORUM In i,lie past would embrace practically every limn of cinineiico in America, and most of those in Europe. A list of subjects treated would cover in tlie widest degree alt topics of contemporaneous interest. TIIE FORUM is therefore of inestimable value to any one wbu desires to keep closely in toucli. with the best of current thought.

The Dime Reception at Mrs. G. IV. Itecds. The reception given by the ladies of the Presbyterian church at the home of Mrs. Geo. W. Reed on North State street Thursday afternoon was quite a success. Ice cream, cak", coffee and cookies were served as refreshments. Mrs. Reed has an elegant home, handsomely furnished and it was beautifully decorated with both cut and pot llowers. We have heard the reception spoken of quite highly as a pleasant social occasion and it certainly was a success financially as $8 20 was taken in. Rev. E. W. Souders sprung a very pleasant surprise on the ladies by taking about a dozen gentlemen and calling about four o'clock.

LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT.

A gooclby kiss is a little thing, """"Ww With your hand on the door to go, But it takes tho venom out of the sting Of a thoughtless word or a cruel fling

That you made an hour ago.

A kiss of greeting is sweet and rare After the toil of day, And it smooths the furrows plowed by care, The lines on the forehead you once called fair,

In the years that have flown away.

'Tis a little tiling to say, "You are kind— I love you, my dear," each night, But it sends a thrill through your heart, 1

And,

or

For love is tender, love is blind, As we climb life's rugged height.

$

We starve each other for love's caress We take, but we do not ^ive. It seems so easy some soul to bless, But wo dole the love grudgingly less and less

Till 'tis bitter and hard to live.

JEANNE'S

BRAVERY.

Felix Labardie had been a French tircur in tlie great war of 1870, and I liked nothing better in tho evening than to sit and listen to his stories of the terrible time when Franco lay gasping and bleeding.

One evening we had been silently Plunking l'nr some time when ho said, "Did I ever tell you, monsieur, how I fell into tho hands of tho Germans and out again' "No," I said. "I thought tho Germans shot all tho guerrillas they caught." 4? "They let me go free, monsieur," he said, with a grim laugh. "It may seem incredible, monsieur, but Jeanne yonder held the lifo of royalty on her finger tips." "I should like very much to hear tho story," I said. "Certainly, monsieur, and if monsieur thinks what was done was wrong ho must excuse a woman in love. "After Sedan, monsieur, a meeting was called in our village, and 30 of us enrolled ourselves as a company of Francs-tireurs. We felt wo could do more for France as irregulars than serving under incompetent generals. We wero well armed, and a bravo and skillful old veteran commanded us. As the Germans were in force around Metz, we marched in that direction and made our headquarters in tho hills behind a village called Pency, about three leagues from tho fortress. It was in Pency Jeanno lived, and from the first moment I saw her, monsieur, I said to myself, 'If fortune is kind, Felix, that girl shall be your wife.' Her father was the miller of Pency, and the accursed Uhlans had almost ruined him. They were very bitter against the invaders, and my profession mado me find favor in her eyes. Before we had been at Pency a month wo had plighted our troth, 011 the understanding that wo should not marry until Franco was rid of tho enemy. "Small as our band was, we made ourselves a terror to tho marauding Uhlans, thanks to the generalship of old Montbon. Jeanno was invaluable to us. She was all eyes and ears, and Montbon called her the 'head of the intelligence department' of our band. I used to meet her every evening, when it was possible, in a little cave I had discovered, which, having 110 outlets, was proof against surprise. "Wo staid three months at Pency, and then the place becamo too hot for us, and we prepared to leavo for a villago some leagues to the south. I fell into tho hands of the Bavarians the very evening before wo were to leave Pency. "Jeanne declares to this day, and I believe rightly, that I was betrayed by a villager, a young fellow named Odeau, who believed tho Virgin had intended Jeanne for his wife, and who was over eavago when she refused him. But be that as it may, monsieur, I was seized at dusk that evening as I was 011 my way to meet Jeanne, and taken so completely by surprise that I had not the least chance of defending myself or trying to escape, and, worse than all, was taken with the rifle in my hand. 'You aro an assassin,' said the stout little officer in command in barbarous French. 'You shall be shot. Where aro your companions?' "But I professed not to understand. I was afraid of being shot on tho spot. There was much of tho executioner and little of tho judge in tlioso days, monsieur. "Much to my relief, my arms were bound behind me, and we set out for the hamlet whero the Crown Prince Frederick had his headquarters. "As Fortune would have it, Jeanne met us on the road. Monsieur would suppose that Jeanne is a quiet little woman, but monsieur has not seen her thoroughly aroused. She was roused then, monsieur. She flung herself on me and tried to release me. Then she seized tho bayonet of a Bavarian, and if I had not begged her for my sake to be calm she would have fought tho whole party single handed. Then sho fell to beseeching them, for she could speak German well, but they only laughed at her and drove her off with foul words. My heart was like lead then, monsieur. But I did not know Jeanne. "I was taken before the prince's .adjutant, who promised me liberty if I would betray my compatriots. But I feigned stupidity, and when he found that I would tell nothing he ordered me to be shot at 5 the next morning. 'We give you till then,'he said, 'to find your tonguo. You'll bo dumb enough after.' And he laughed. "I was bound like a log, inonsieiir," and thrown into a hut and brutally kicked. My thoughts were not pleasant all this time. I lay thinking of Jeanne, wliom I should nevqr see again, picturing that, womanlike, she would go home and weep in her helplessness and despair. But I did not know her then. She was working for me with all the energy and wit of a woman. Jeanne, Jeanne, ma. petite, come here."

Jeanne came to,tho door. v, "Come and tell monsieur how you saved me, ma petite."

A bltiSh overspread. Jeanne !sfeatures. "What,'that fotilifih fetory Again?'' "Certainly not foolish," I interposed.

"I should deem it a kindness if you would oblige me." "If monsieur wishes it, and monsieur will allow me, I will get my knitting. "Certainly," I said. a«£ "When I saw him carried off," Jeanne began as soon as she was seated, "I was in despair, for I knew what his fate would be. And then the good Virgin put an idea into my head, and I prayed to her to give me the strength and cunning to carry it out. There had been a sharp fight a week before, and I knew Jacques Pellot had possessed himself of some German uniforms that ho had taken from tho dead. So I demanded thein from him and threatened him till ho produced thein. A sous lieutenant's uniform fitted me nicely, and after cutting off mv hair and concealing a pistol and dagger in my tunic I hurried away. I crept along cautiously when I nearcd tho enemy's lines, for my plan was to get through the sentries without being challenged. When I hoard tho pickets, I dropped 011 tho ground and crawled like a snake. And yet I was nearly caught. A German officer was leaning against a tree, and I almost touched him. I lay still without breathing audibly for a long time— how long I cannot say—until ho moved away. Then, once inside tho lines, I rose up and hastened tig the prince's headquarters. I prayed IVfr courage and then walked up to the door. I trembled so that I could hardly speak. Fortunately tho oineer did not observe my agitation. 'Take nic to his highness instantly,' I said in my best German.: 'Important dispatches.' 'Who from?' he began. 'To his highness instantly,' I said boldly, but my knees shook under mo. "Ho looked at 1110 closely in tho dim light, aud I felt ready to faint. Then without a word ho took me to tho prince's room. 'Important dispatches,' he said, knocking and showing me in. 'From whom?' asked tho prince. 'In private, may it pleaso your highness,' I stammered, but feeling that I would not leave without Felix's life or another for it. 'Retiro and leave us, Haupt,' said the prince, and the officer, closing the door behind him, obeyed. 'And now,' said tho prince kindly. 'You look pale and ill, sir. What is your name?' "Tlie key was in the door, and I turned it swiftly. 'And now,' I said, pulling out my pistol and pointing it full at his face—my hand did not even tremble at that supremo moment—'your highness,'I said rapidly, 'if you call out, you are a dead man.' "Ah, I10 was a Gorman, but ho was so bravo, so bravo! Ho did not even wince, but ho looked straight into my eyes and sunk d. 'Ah,' he said lightly, 'a stratagem! Wh.'«# 0 you, and v.-hat do you want?' 'Monsieur lo prince,' I said, 'I am tho daughter ox tho miller of Pency. My lover, Felix Larondie, was taken by your men tonight as a Franc-tireur. If he is not already dead, ho is condemned. I want his lifo or—you lose yours, monsieur.' 'A woman!' he said. 'Well done,' and he smiled, and the pistol almost dropped from 1113' hand with the pity of it till I thought of Felix. 'I know nothing of this, my good woman. No, bat stay. Here aro some papers Elberfeld has left for mo to sign. Ah, hero it is. Felix Larondie, peasant, taken with arms. To be shot at 5 a. m.' 'Ho shall not die, your highness, or'—I could not threaten him with words, but my pistol was steady. 'But I10 is an assassin.' "'No,' I cried, 'he is a soldier, though he does not wear tho uniform. Imagine, your highness,' I said, 'if I should have dared so much for a murderer. 'But he has fought as a Franctireur, not as a soldier.' 'What of that, monsieur? And if I10 had not fought for France in her hour I would spurn him from me. He must go free, your highness, if you value your life.' 'My life is in the hands of God, mademoiselle,' he said, lifting his eyes to mine 'Threats do not move me, but you area brave woman.' "And then my courage left me, monsieur, and I dropped the pistol and flung myself sobbing at his feet and beseeched and entreatedhim. And he raised me, monsicnr, and made me drink wine and tell him all tho story. Ah, but he was brave and a true gentloman! And when I had told him all he said, 'He shall be pardoned,' adding, with a smile, 'Such a devoted woman must not go liusbandless.' And then I fell to weeping again, monsieur, and kissed his hand and tried to thank him. And he took me to Felix, and he was released. I flung myself on Felix and cut his bonds myself, and we thanked the princo together. We women don't find out if men are worth it till afterward, monsieur," with a sly look at her husband. 'Three days later an orderly came with a bracelet from his highness, and, on it was engraved, 'To a brave and devoted Frenchwoman.' See, I wear it still. "Ah, monsieur, we wept when that noble prince died, and the great doctor could not save him. Wo sent a wreath, and I presumed to write to the ompress. She is a worthy daughter of your queen, monsieur. She sent me a letter written with her own hand. Sho was worthy Of that true and brave gentleman, her husband."—Exchange.

A Diamond Test.

Some time ago we copied from La Nature a picture representing a design drawn011glassbya pencil of aluminium. C. M'irgot now points out the fact that if the aluminium is dissolved away by an acid the drawing is still quite visible, with every appearance of an etching. He holds, that true chemical union 00cuvs between the aluminium and the glass. He ljas found that quartz,, emerald, topaz and Other hard crystals can be etclied in tho sarno manner, but the diamond is iiiihffoctdd. This gives a new test for a gemlino diamond.—Exchange.
