• -p-Qi'i'liLICAN. ' By Jay C. Smith, HOPE INDIANA The total destruction by fire in the United States for eighteen years before 1892 was $1,760,941,617. Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, who has been in Europe for some time, will return to this country this month. ___________ New. York was first incorporated os a city in 1644, and its charter antedates that of any municipalityin the United States. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union of New York has petitioned the Legislature to restrict the sale of hard cider, on the ground that it produces the worst kind of intoxication. The entire population of Canada is less than that of New York State. There are sixty counties in the State, one of which, St. Lawrence county, Is as large as Delaware and more than twice the size of the State of Rhode Island. Among the Indians of Washington, Oregon and British Columbia all white men are known as “Boston men.” This appellation is supposed to have come from the fact that the majority of the early traders in the far West hailed from Boston. In Table Rock, Nebraska, the wife of the present Republican postmaster, whose term has about expired, lias appealed to the new administration for the appointment on the ground that she is a stalwart Democrat and has experience in the office. The shingle industry of the great Northwest is assuming vast proportions. From fifteen to twenty car loads a day was the average shipment from Seattle during March, and one day a solid train of thirty car loads left that city for the East. Girard, Kansas, is the “dryest” town, probably, in the United States. The State prohibition law Las always been strictly enforced, and last week the water works burned. The inhabitants, therefore, are not likely to succumb to the habit of excessive drinking for some time at least. Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, has raised her envoy to this country from the rank of minister to that of ambassador, and the British Foreign Office has been informed of the intention of the United States government to credit an ambassador to the court of St. James in reciprocation of the friendly' action of the British government. The Governors of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Maryland, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia will meet in Richmond, Va., April 12, to devise some concerted plan of action for the encouragement of immigration and the development of the natural resources of the South. The street railway company of the City of Mexico has a unique monopoly, having bought up all the hearses in the place in order to secure the funeral business. It runs funeral cars, of special designs, and the mourners ride to the cemetery in a richly upholstered car with lace curtains, following the car that contains the coffin. Horse and mule roads run out of the city to great distances, one being seventy miles in length. Free thought in politics is making remarkable progress iu the United Kingom. The students at Aberystwith University, in Wales, recently gave a smoking concert, at which the song “God Save the Queen,” whicli has been an inspiration to loyal Britons for two generations, was shouted down, the students preferring to sing a college jargon instead. Such, demonstrations are said to be of frequent occurrence in the British Isles. The State of Washington h vs no “nick-name” or pet name, as yet, and the residents of that commmonwealth feel as unhappy as a small boy would if continually addressed as “John”. They feel too young to sustain the dignity of the appellation

given the State at christening and are not satisfied to be called “Wash”. So they are casting about for something attractive and appropriate in cognomens. “The Evergreen State” has been suggested, but is thought to be a trifle heavy, although appropriate. Shocking barbarity and brutal cruelty has been unearthed at the Connecticut State Prison at Wethersfield. The Connecticut Legislature has taken steps to remedy the evils, but that they should have occurred at all is a disgrace that can hardly be removed from the escutcheon of the Nutmeg State. The tale of horrors with which a recent issue of the New York World regaled the public reads like the vivid fictitious descriptions of Dumas and cause the reader to pause and ask if the Caucasian lias really made any progress in civilization since the days of autodafes and inquisitions. In spite of the wholesale slaughter by European tourists, and the equally wanton waste of our own countrymen in hunting game in the Far West, some portions of Nature’s great reservations in the almost boundless territory near the Great Divide still retain plenty of material for future sport and profit. One trapper brought into Sand Point, | Idaho, the other day, the pelts of sixty-eight martens, sixteen beavers, three wolverines, one bear, and two minks, the result of his winter’s work in the mountains around that place. The tender sensibilities of public sentiment in New Orleans, which at least tolerates if it does not indorse prize fights, are being sadly lacerated in trying to find a satisfactory solution of the problem of separating the races on street cars. It has been proposed to divide the car into two compartments—one for whites and one for blacks, —but the scheme does not appear practicable. The colored population of the South is rapidly increasing in spite of the occasional depletion of their numbers by hanging and roasting, and this question j is likely to be one of - the issues for i for some 'time to come throughout' Dixie. The iconoclastic tendency of the age, which wilfully and wastefully destroys our forests, seeks to build railroads through the Yellowstone Park, and heedlessly slaughters the buffalo of the western plains to afford amusement for British aristocrats, has found a new field for its vicious efforts in the enterprise of a quarry company at New York, which is engaged in blasting away the famous Palisades and selling the rock for paving purposes. Earnest protests against this shameless vandalism are being made from all sides, but the work of demolition goes on, and, already some of the most distinguishing features of that mighty wall have fallen, and the damage that no earthly power can repair has marred one of the grandest works of the Great Architect. The typical American we read about is a trifle too enterprising in many cas es, and this seems to be one of them. Russian Despotism. St Louis Globe Democrat. “Why does Russia linger in ignorance?” answered David S. Jordan to a friend in the Southern. “Let me tell you a story. When I was in college at Cornell there came a bright young Russian to study, by the name of Dabrolohofl. This young man was of quick perceptive powers and deeply interested in the progressive practical sciences and questions. He studied very hard for four years, did much more work than any single term required, and graduated with the honors of his class. He removed to New York and entered into a successful practice of civil engineering. Some time later I learned that he had gone back to his native, laud. 1 hoard no more of this young man outside of a few scientific articles in some European magazines for nearly ten years. While making a tour of Europe and Russia I bethought myself of him and wondered why his brilliant parts had not long since brought him into prominence. In Russia I made inquiries and there learned, to my astonishment and sorrow. that the student had been suspected of treason, tried and sentenced to Siberia, where he had died in filth and chains. Do you imagine that a country which hides the light of its young genius beneath the bushel of despotism can grow intellectually?”

THE MORMON TEMPLE. Dedication of the Great Structure at Salt Lake City, After forty years, the great Mormon temple—the site for which was selected July 28,1847, by Brigham Young, at Salt Lake City, and the corner stone of which was laid April 6, 1853—was dedicated with imposing ceremonies, Thursday. The building is 186-1/2 feet long and 99 feet wide. With the towers it covers an area

of 21,850 square foot. Th« foundation wall' is sixteen feet deep and sixteen feet thick. On this the granite walls are nine feet thick at the bottom and narrow to six feet at the square. There are six towers, three on the cast and three on the west. The corner towers are twenty-six feet at the base. Those on the east are 300 feet high and on the west 140 feet. The east central tower of the building is 233% feet high, surmounted by a figure with a trumpet to its lips proclaiming the gospel. The building is richly embellished with various symbolical designs, and has cost in excess of 85,000,000. GJL R. ENCAMPMENT. Stormy Scenes at Evan.vllle—'War Declared on the Mexican Dates. In thcG. A. R, Encampment at Evansville, Wednesday, a heated discussion arose over the report of the Monument Committee. At the afternoon session Hon. John L. McMaster, in behalf of himself, Zollinger, Carnahan and Layman, submitted a report repudiating the action of the State Board of Monument Commissioners in placing the dates 1846 and 1848 upon the upper astragal of the Soldiers’ Monument at Indianapolis, which was adopted by a unanimous vote amidst great applause. George V/. Spahr, of Indianapolis, then offered a scries of resolutions calling for the removal of George J. Langsdale from the G. A. R. Monument committee. Tho resolutions wore, unanimously passed by a rising vote. Resolutions pledging members not to vote for any legislative candidate who refused to pledge himself to support the G. A. R. in its stand in regard to the dates were also passed. The parade was a great success. A largo number of tho veterans took a steamer to the Shiloh battle ground during tho day. Lafayette, was selected as the place for tho next encampment. “Private - ’ dames T. Johnston was elected department commander at Thursday's session, Mr. Johnston has represented his district in Congress several terms, and resides in Rockville, Parke county. Headquarters of the department will bo opened at Indianapolis. In assuming the duties of commander Mr. Jghnston asked the aid of every member tow r ard making the National Encampment at Indianapolis in September a success. AGAINST HOME RULE. Balfour And a Tory Demonstration at Belfast. Tuesday was a general holiday at Belfast. At noon M./ Balfour ana other leading Tories headed a procession of Orangemen and other organizations which marched through the street. Theenthusiasm of the day’s demonstration culminated In tho reception of Mr. Balfour when he appeared before the mass meeting to make his attack upon Mr. Gladstone’s Home Rule bill. Cheer followed cheer as he advanced to the front of tho platform. When ha began to speak his voice was lost In the shouts of the multitude. After tho tumult subsided he spoke at great length, revlewingthe Home Rulequestion. He prayed to God that Ulster loyalists would not bo compelled to light for their rights, yet tho tyranny of majorities might be found as bad as the tyranny of Kings. He could not deny conscienciously that what was justifiable against a tyrannical king was, under certain circumstances, justifiable against a tyrannical majority. He trusted, however, that «uch circumstances would never arise, LIKE A ROMANCE A Couple Separated by the Chicago Fire lie united. Tho Rev. Dr. James Rodman, of Now York, while filling the pulpit of the Rev. Samuel Friedman, in Andover, Pa., on Easter Sunday, was reunited with his wife. They had been parted by tho Chicago fire and each believed theotherdead. The woman had married since their separation by tho great fire. Her second husband had died and the widow lived in Boston. Dr. Rodman was never remarried. At the time of the great fire he was injured and lay a long time at the house of a friend with brain fever. When he recovered all trace of his wife was gone. The husband gave up commercial life and entered the ministry.

The Useful Buzzard. Half the eities round the Gulf of Mexico would have yellow fever. Jholera and a dozen other kinds of epidemics every summer if it were not for the turkey buzzards. In every town the buzzards are the principal, sometimes the only scavengers, and always do their work well. A kitchen maid comes to tho door with a bucket of slops, and in a minute every buzzard in the neighborhood is on the wing. The contents of tho bucket are emptied into the back yard, in ten seconds a dozen buzzards are fighting over the prey, and in less time than it takes to tell about it every scrap of anything eatable has vanished. Then the buzzards all go back and form a fringe on the roof, where they sit, quiet and expectant until another lunch is provided. They are not particularly ornamental, and their odor will make a coyote regard life as a burden, but nevertheless they have their uses. Tho Arrival of Spring:.

Mr. Abner C. Folsom, Drake, Mich, After the Grip. In Miserable Condition. “I take this opportunity to speak my mind on the virtue of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I have found that the grip uses elderly people pretty severly. I am sixty-nine years old, and when the grip attacked me last winter i came very near dying. I was all broken down and Reduced to a Mere Skeleton. I could not seem to gain any strength or get any medicine to help me. I was advised to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. One bottle cured me; built me up so that I do not feel any effects of the disease left. My son is taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla for liver and kidney troubles and is recovering very rapidly.” A. C.
