MONDAY, DEC. 2nd, 1895.

SOME financiers are comforting themselves by saying. Well, times can not get any worse than they have been for the past year.

DR. CHARLES A. ROBINSON, of Fountaintown, who is a personal and warm friend of Rev. Wm. E. Hinshaw, the convicted wife murderer, is now moving in the way of securing a big petition asking that the Governor pardon him. It is proposed to overwhelm the Governor with the size of the petition. We think, however, that the twelve honest jurors of Hendruks county, who, after a fair trial, said he was guilty and should go to the penitentiary for life, are better judges than a lot of kind and tenderhearted people who know but little about the case and its circumstances. It is possible, of course, that Hinshaw did not kill his wife, but his robbery story was a very improbable one and he certainly knew more more about the crime than he disclosed. The punishment of crime is not altogether that the criminal may suffer for his misdeeds, but it serves as a lesson for others so that crime may be prevented and the inuocent protected. If Hinshaw is set. free, both object lessons will be lost. Gov. Matthews has already exercised his pardoning powers too freely.

THE Rushville Republican in Friday's issue, gave a table showing the ages of some of their exchanges. They started with the Vevay Reveille, aged 78 years. We do not quote the entire list, but if their statements are as incorrect concerning the other papers as they are concerning the RKPUBBLICAJC and Democrat, of this city, they are away off. They classed the Greenfield Democrat as 70, which is entirely too old. It now counts two volumes each year instead of one, and hence is not nearly as old as rated. It has, however, been under the management of its present proprietor, William Mitchell, since 1856. The REPUBLICAN is just completing its sixteenth volume, although it is quoted as 47. That evidently was the number of the paper in Vol. 16, and not the age of the paper. The REPUBLICAN has for the last eight years been under the management of W. S. Montgomery. For the size of the county in which they circulate, the REPUBLICAN and Democrat each nave probably the largest circulation of any two weekly papers in Indiana.

JOHN THE BAPTIST?!

DR. MADISON C. PETERS TELLS OF HIS STERLING WORTH.

He Was Popular Preacher With the Masses Because He Dared Speak the Truth to Those In High Places—Never

Skulked Nor Dodged—His life's Triumph.

Dr. Madison C. Peters of the Bloomingdale Reformed church, New York, preached on "The Popular Preacher" Sunday evening, Dec. 8. Following is an extract from his sermbn: "Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist." —Matthew ii, 11.

That is high testimony, standing exactly in the words of Christ himself. No greater born of woman! Wherein lies the pre-eminence of this popular preacher?

The preacher had something to say. He was no "repeater," no reciter of old paradigms. He was no generalizer, mouthing, thundering about sin, but silent concerning sins. He hurled no thunderbolts at sinners in the mass, while very careful not to hit individual sinners. He aimed straight at the men before him, called a spade a spade, and not "an instrument for disturbing the crust of the earth," and thus he stirred the slumbering consciences of men. Such and such only are God's true preachers.

John was popular with the masses because he was not afraid to be unpopular with the few. He neither toadied to the rich nor to the poor. He dared to speak the truth to those in high places, and to those in low places. He did not fawn upon the people, flatter them and credit them with virtues which he knew they did not possess. He did not avoid truth because disagreeable. He did not pander to prejudices in public which in private he despised.

He was a practical preacher. No voice of living prophecy had been heard for well nigh 500 years. Formalism reigned, and had become a weariness to patience and a drag on the better nature of man. Well might the word repent startle and thrill the world's dull hour. Christianity as a theory, as a creed, will stir nobody, but Christianity as repentance and amendment of life never failed to stir and never will.

His thought was in advance of his time. Herein was his strength. He was no slow coach rolling day after day in the same old ruts. He advanced independently of sermonic precedent. He was not merely a mouthpiece of the past, but a preacher of the living present his words thrilled with inspiration from ages unborn. He was a. voice, not an echo.

This man was fired with a deathless enthusiasm. He never came before the people with dull, drowsy and dry theological terminology and vocabulary and profound disquisitions on the constituents of things beyond the clouds. Neither did he speak in a cool, collected and composed manner. He surrounded his pulpit with heaven's fire and set his hearers aroused, saying, "This man is in earnest, we must come and hear him again."

John was a courageous man. He never skulked or dodged. John the fearless preacher cn the banks of Jordan is not so great as John the rebuker of Herod, probably in his own palace. Herod is brought into contact with this strong spoken preacher. He is impressed with the truth he utters. He listened to him with pleasure. But John sees his guilty life. He had taken the wife of his brother Philip to be his wife. John made up his mind to speak to Herod about it. Many a man would have said to himself: "Let the matter alone you will only lose the friendship of the king. Besides, you cannot hope to effect a reformation." Even so men who call themselves friends of virtue and religion would advise.

But John's rule was to do what was right, no matter what the consequences might be. Silence him for petty favor and momentary influence As well attempt to toss the mountains into the sea with an infant's arm. Calmly, boldly and faithfully he said, "It is not lawful for thee to have another man's wife." Though cast into the prisoner's cell as the price of his fidelity, and put to dnath not long after at the request of Herod's wife, it was the triumphant moment of his life. It culminated there

iv

the grandeur whose glory streams down the ages. Had he Jacked the courage of his convictions his name and memory would have been forgotten, instead of gathering fresh laurels from the successive generations of men. Herod's name has come down the ages linked with infamy and shame.

We need courageous men. Men who will stand like a beaten anvil, who, though storms beat around them and foes hunt and hound them, yet cannot be overpowered. John was a real hero. No one can tell who the heroes are and who the cowards until some crisis comes to put us to the test. And no crisis puts us to the test that does not bring us up alone and single handed to face danger. It is nothing to make a rush with the multitude, even into the jaws of death. Sheep will do that. But when some crisis singles out one from the multitude, pointing at him the particular finger of fate and telling him, "Stand or run," and he faces about with steady nerve who looks before and behind, weighs well all the probabilities of success or defeat, and is determined to stand his ground, we may be sure the hero stuff is in him. Courage is a moral, not a physical, trait its seat is not in the temperament, but the will. A phrenologist, examining the head of the Duke of Wellington, said, "Your grace has not the organ of animal courage largely developed. "You are right," replied the great man, "and but for my sense of duty I should have retreated in my first fight." Oh, that word "duty I" What is animal courage compared with it? A good cause makes 1 courageous heart.

PRIMITIVE FERRIES.

How Tmrelers In the Ozark Country Cross the White River.

The navigators of the White river have no quarrel with the bridge builders. From Newport, below Batesville, for 200 miles, not a pier profanes the channel. Transportation from side to side is by ferry. There is a crossing every mile or two. Quaint and primitive some of the methods are. Most of the ferryboats are small, flat bottomed craft, without railings on the sides or gates at the ends. At a few of the most frequented north and south roads a cable has been stretched from the tree tops high enough to escape the steamboat chimneys. The boat is attached by ropes, bow and stern, to a pulley running on this cable. When one line is lengthened to give the boat an angling direction with the stream, the current slowly carries the load over to the opposite bank. Such a labor saving appliance, however, is in use very sparingly. Most of the ferrying is done by hand with the pole and sweep. As the Ozark country traveler approaches within hailing distance of the bank he begins to let his voice out with "O-o-ov-er!"

In the course of time there is an answering "Whoop-ee!"

The ferryman comes slowly down the bank, with his brother, or his son, or with somebody else's son whom he has persuaded it is great fun to help run a ferryboat. Travelers in the Ozark country have often commented on the disproportionate frequency with which the boat is at the bank opposite to that approached. And ferrymen all agree that by a strange perversity the travel is from the direction necessitating a trip across and back to collect one fare. There is time enough to meditate on this problem while the ferryman slowly poles his frail craft along the bank for some distance up stream.

Then, as he grasps the sweep and pulls out for the other side with much puffing and perspiration, there is not time to think of anything else but the inch of pine between dry shoe leather and a current which means a long, hard swim if the boat goes amiss. Accidents are very few. The White river ferryman knows his business and earns his quarter. "George, said Mr. Webber to the Harvey who was directing the course of the boat, "is that your brother helping you with the boat?" "Yes," said George, "he's my brother." "He resembles you,"commented Mr. Webber, "but I think he's rather better looking than you are. "That's because he's weller fed," said George. "His wife's a good cook. —Chicago Journal.

FATHER'S DOMESTIC HEADSHIP.

No Outside Success Will Atone For a Negllgence of His Home Responsibilities.

Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, D. D., in Ladies' Home Journal writes concerning "The Father's Domestic Headship While, perforce of ordinary circumstance, the father's duties will hold him considerably apart from the contacts of home life, yet whatever successes he may achieve outside will not atone for any failure on his part to regard his home as the prime sphere of his obligation and the point around which his devotements will cluster in distinguished earnestness and constancy. Whatever he may have achieved in his art, trade, profession or other engagement, the man who stands at the head of a household has been in the broad sense of the term a failure if he has not been a true husband and a wise, strong and devoted father. It cannot be a successful home where the mother looks after the children and the father looks after his business. The most productive services rendered are always personal, and any amount of exertion expended outside in providing for the necessities of the home will not take the place of that tuitional ministry which comes only by the direct and continuous contact of father with child. However complete a woman may be as a mother, there are qualities of character which the father will communicate to his children that the mother will be less able to do as well as less intended to do.

No Faith In the Instrument.

One of the first things the observant trained nurse does when anew patient enters the hospital and is put in bed is to place a delicately constructed thermometer under the sick one's tongue and get the temperature. A chambermaid from one of the down town hotels was taken to one of the city hospitals not long ago, and the above described operation was performed at once. "What in the wurruld are yez doing that for?" she asked after the nurse got through. "I'm merely taking your temperature," responded the maid with the muslin cap. "Rats!" said the occupant of the sick Such. "How are yez going to tell by that little thing whether I've got a temper or not?"—Washington Star.

'Opening an Umbrella With One Hand.

"Not infrequently," said a stroller, "you see people with their arms full of bundles making hard work of opening an umbrella. There is a very simple and easy way of opening an umbrella with one hand, known to many, but perhaps not to all. You grasp the little cylinder around the handle, to which the lower ends of the ribs are attached, plant the point of the umbrella against a lamppost, and push until the little cylinder catches on the upper catch, and there you are, without the least trouble in the world.

A SONG OF THE THRUSH.

When greenly blooms the bended wheat, And tiger lilies dot the vale, And faintly scents the meadow sweet,

And kine do brim the flowing pail What time the pewee leaves his perch And on the stonefly tests his wings, Where whitely gleams the silver birch,

Then in dark woods the wood thrush sings.

When past the hay the meadows brown, And stands the wheat in banded shocks, And slow the streamlet trickles down,

And sunbeams bake the rifted rocks What time the dog days 'gin to wane, And skies are dun, and June is o'er, And sulks the high poised weather vane,

The wood thrush sings in woods no more.

When asters fringe the woodland ways, And wild grapes hang on fence and tree, And hills are hid in ripening haze,

And down the gulch the streamlets flee What time the first soft maple turns, And a red shade the sumac flings, And on stone walls the ivy burns,

Once more in woods the wood thrush sings. —William Higgs in Youth's Companion.

THE SHREWD GRAY SQUIRREL.

Attending Strictly to Business, He Gets the Better of a Wily Hunter.

"Of course," said a hunter, "everybody knows that when a man with a gun comes along, the gray squirrel goes around on the other side of the tree he doesn't get killed if he can help it, and he can help himself pretty well. I remember once coming across a gray squirrel up a big oak he was out on a branch about 40 feet from the ground. He saw me as quick as I did him— quicker, I guess—and when I was ready to fire, he was around on the other side of the branch. This branch was very small, only a mighty little bigger than the squirrel, but he hugged it so close and he was in such perfect line with me that you couldn't see anything of him at all except a little bit of the tip of his tail that was blown out by a strong wind. I blazed away at him ani. never touched him. Then I went around, on the other side of the tree, thinking that possibly I could get a shot at him from there, but as I went one way he went the other, and by the time I had got over on the other side he was on the side I had come from, and in just as perfect line with me as he was at first, and just as safe. I tried him again with just the same result. "Then I pulled a stake out of a rail fence near by and planted it in the ground on one side of the tree and hung my coat on it, and went myself over on the other side I thought that possibly I might make the squirrel think there were two men there, or put him in doubt long enough to enable me to get a shot at him, but he never paid the slightest attention to the coat. I don't suppose it would have made any difference to him if I'd opened a clothing store there he knew the man with the gun, and it was the gun that he was looking out for. "Well, we dodged around that tree for quite a spell longer. There wasn't any other tree near by that the squirrel could go to, and he knew his only safety lay in sticking to the one he was in, and the way he did stick to it and keep around always on the other side of that branch was something wonderful. I fired five or six shots at him altogether and filled the branch under him half full of shot, but never touched him, and when I thought I had wasted time and ammunition enough, I left him. "—New York Sun.

Water on the Moon.

Astronomer Pickering of the Howard observatory at Arequipa, Peru, has lately been making some interesting observations relative to the presence of water on the moon. A writer, quoting from a bulletin of the French Astronomical society, says that over 85 narrow ravines on the moon's surface have been catalogued, and these are all regarded as beds of rivers from their resemblance to terrestrial water courses. There is no reason to suppose that these formations contain water at the present time, but the observer argues that the presenoe of a certain degree of humidity on the surface of the great satellite seems probable. The observer affirms that no other satisfactory explanation than the existence of water or a partially thawed frozen region can account for the dark patches in the various craters or crevasses. That vegetation exists is not yet demonstrated, but the observers regard such a discovery as by no means unlikely.—Revue Scientifique.

The Most Curious Known Animal.

The most peculiar and remarkable animal in the world is the Ornithorynchus paradoxus, the famed egg laying mammal of Australia. It is shaped like an otter, has fur like a beaver, is web footed like a swan, has a bill like a duck and a tail like that of a fox. It is the only known fur covered creature that lays eggs. A corresponding oddity among feathered bipeds would be a bird that brought forth its young alive.—St. Louis Republic.

The Island of Tauna.

The volcanic island of Tauna, one of the New Hebrides group, has been for many years in a constant state of eruption, emitting a column of fire by night and smoke by day, which is olearly seen at a great distance. Such is the certainty with which this flame appears that vessels in the vicinity are instructed by their sailing directions to look out for it just as they would do were it an ordinary lighthouse.
