Indiana Campaign Opened. Senaior Morton inaugurated the political campaign in Indiana with one of the most effective speeches, at Terre Haute yesterday evening. We are glad to learn that the distinguished Senator was in good condition, phsiclly , and was listened to with close attention bj one of the most enthusiastic audiences ever assembled in Terre Haute. Ttie uew wigwam dedicated last night, was crowded to overflowing. A large number of ladies were present. The leception accorded to the Senator shows the warm place he holds in the hearts of the people, and must have been particularly gratifying to him as a testimonial of the estimation in which his ar. duous and inllueutial services at Washington, during the last sessiou, are held by his constituents. We can only give u clew to some of the leadiuir ooints of Governor Morton's speech, which will be received as indicating the main issues on which the cauvass is to be made in our neighbor State. He congratulated his auditors on the general prosperity prevailing throughout the couutry, "reaching every department of public affairs, aud all classes of society ai.d tudustry; labor was never better tewarJed, more houorable, or more universally recognized as the foundation of national puspei'lty. Occasionally Is found, here or t lie i c a man that is embarrassed; now and then a species ol business not so prosper ous aa other; bat the general condition of the country is one of solid prosperity a near approach to freedom from inflation. Croakers there always are, aud these we tiuvv have going about aud saying things have gone to ruin. But this," said the Senator, "wo plainly see, is not so." Instead of the currency the war left us, its nominal value so widely differing fiom tl.e reai value of gold and silver com, tiuetua mg and umviuii ,we have approximated at length "to a settled coudiuon, and lo MX mouths, he added, the paper dollar uf the country wiil be worth a dollar iu specie.'' IvcK-ring to certain absurd notions of our opponents, in this connect km, joxeruoi Morion lemarkcd : "A diss of i.iuk-i.iiis there are who would have us believe that a fluctuating currency is desirable a false theiry in aii times. Alter jeriods ot lullatiou the people have bceu ttie belter by the restoration of paper currency to par and this condition we are surely roehiug by national causes, uot by speculative theories of politicians. pealing in tl.e Terre Haute District, tl.e Senator could not of course be u n n. i n -J ! u ! ft the politicians who were responsible for bunging upon tl.e country an the evils ol the war, and i.-jnialiy ot those IS ot them ii. en who, by tl.iir encouragement of the uletiioa, heljed to roloug the struggle and to inctease its woes and its bmdiiis.

The much discussed taritl on pig iron had been reduced from nine to seven dollars per ton, while many articles had been added to the free list, and the Jreat result ofa reduction on the taxes of eighty millions had been brought about by Republican votes alone. Not Democratic member of Concress had votedjor Uie bill to reduce the tax, on its final passage. The last Democratic State Convention had resolved in favor of takiug the tariff off of tea aod sugar, and yet when it came to voting on the question in Congress, not a Democratic vote was recorded iu its favor." Whatever comfWrt the Free Traders can find in the views of Senator Morton, even as represented above, they are welcome to enjoy. The Funding bill, the diminution of the public debt, and the large reduction of taxation, were also appropriately dwelt upon He ridiculed the idea of exchanging Republican for Democratic supremacy, aud sketched the financial exploits of Howell Cobb a illustrative of Democratic wisdom. He also spoke at length on Indiaua finances, uot at all to the advantage ot Democratic management as contrasted with that of Kepublieaus. We give a summary of the piincipal remaiuing topics of this great speech: "After these comparison did anybody want to change to Democratic supremacy again? lie said he gloried in Indiana, but gloried more in being a citizen of the United States But next to the United States he gloried iu Indiana; he gloried i n her eoldiars, in her ptogtcss, in her pros peets. He glanced at her great school system, and uue(Ualed school fund. These weie the fruits of ihe Republican rule, as well as numbers ot public institutions. He planted himself fit mly iu favor of the Fifteenth Amendment, the Fourteenth and Thirteenth. He eulogized ibeui and glolied in them, as the realizations of the principles ot the Djclatation of Independence. "lie proceeded to describe the inconsistency of Senator Hudricks iu his 2s"ew Oilcans speech and the speech recently made at Lafayette, and how Democracy means one thing down South and another North. He couvicted Yoorbees of falsehood in bis charge in the House uot long ago that Republican papers iu this State had said: "Let the Dutch go; we have the tiegroen instead;" and showed that this charge was untrue and absurd, for the llepublican party is in itself ttie friend ol the laooriug man. The foreigner tiods a eotijtenul home there. "He showed up the hollowncss of the would be lefoiu.ets who asked the Repub lican patty to seek alliance with the Democracy; how they were generally ofticeseekeis. The Republican party was not inaugurated for tne purpose of creating ethees; but few of the followers could expect to have au 011100." The campaign in Indiana promises to be a lively one. t has opened most auspiciously, and wiil be vigorously followed up by speeches frota Senator Morton, Yice Dresuictit Colfax and other able speakers ot Indiana, as well as by orators tioui abroad.

NELLY'S TWO LOVERS BT SH1RCKT BROWNE. Nelly, I think you are so wrong!' 'Wrong ? And why?' Eleanor I'raiford was sitting in the bay window of her little boudoir, a fitting casket to the jewel she herself looked like-. The walls were rose color, lioed with old, as the sunset sometimes glows in tifts through the pink masses of evening cloud the carpet was of pearly gray, strewn all over with rosebuds, tod the furniture, e!ab orately carved and gilded, and covered with rose colored damask, lent uew grace to the bright illusion. Ou the walls hung one or two rare Italian paintings, all blue, glitteting water and gteen depth oT wood, while statues of alabaster, catching a lifelike glow from the pink Bilk curtains, seemed transformed to tilings of life. Eleanor Trafford herself was quite as pret ty as anything in the apartment She was rather inclined to be petite, with dewy blue eyes, hair of sunny gold crimped iu burnished ripples by the baud of Nature, and cheeks 1 1 k 3 the velvet bloom of fresh J uly peaches. How plain and old Marion Harper looked, by her side and yet there was the sunshtoe of the true aud noble heart lu Marion's old-maid face too. 'Why wrong, Marion?' persisted Nelly. 'You shall uot accuse me without debiting your charges a lit 1 1c more distinctly.' 'Do you think it is right, Nelly, to be encouraging both these loers of yours at once?" 'That is ju-d it,' said Nelly Trafford, with a comical grimace. 'If 1 could fairly make up my miud which I liked best, 1 wouldn't eucouiage but uue of 'em.' 'Colonel Adair seems to tie the reigning favorite at present. I was surprised at the coldness and caprice with which you treated poor Harry Webb.' 'Well I do tbtuk Adair is the handsom er, ami then he is so delightlully devoted. He declares he will die if 1 don't receive his addresses favorably --now that reminds oue of ancient chivahy, doesn't i ?' Then he has actually proposed to you?' 'Yes,' assented the little coquette, tuditferenrly, 'and so has Harry Webb. 'When?' 'Oh, let me see last night I believe!' (And what answer did you give them?' J told them they must let me have a fortnight to make up my mind in. 11 ow can a girl be expected to decide so momentous a question, as she would choose a wreath of flowers to wear in her hair?' 'If you really loved either one of them, Nelly, your answer would have been ready on your lips.' 'Rut I di love them both that is, I think Harry is very nice, aud as for the Colonel ' Nelly stopped short, with the sweetest crimson on her check, aud dowucast shadowy eyes. 'Ah!' thought Marion Harper, 'it is easy to see which stands first in the temple of her Ueart; I would not give much Tor poor Harry Webb's chance, since this perfumed exquisite of a Colouel has eutered the list. II; rry ! 'But there Faid Elennor starting up, 'what is the use of wasting time in this foolish nonsense when I Otiuht lo have taken that basket of wine and jelly to poor Kate Wynyard, long ago! IM be back in au hour, i)iarton.' 'Why don't you scud one of the servants?' Kate likes to see ma herselT she was my dear oid nurse once, and it wilt not be I King that she will require even this trifling kindness at uiy bands. Marion looked after Eleanor as she tripped out of ttie room, with a half admiring sadness. What a warm-hearted, noble little creature she was with all tier faults and failings. For Nelly Trafford possessed the magic secret of winning all hearts. They were gathered round the dinner table that eveuing, whare flowers glowed and cut-slSss and silver sparkled, when Mr. Trafford suddenly looked up from his newspaper 'By the way, Eleanor, I think you had better suspend your visits to Kale Wyu yard for the present!' 'Why, papa?' Dr. AlUood tells mo that they have two very serious cases of small pox in the house.' Eleanor glanced at Marion Harper tho cheeks of loth girls uusconsciously blanched. 'Papa, I am afraid your warning comes too late. I was there this mornini:! Do I you seriously think I have iueurred great danger :' Trafford was silent a moment or ,wo ,j el U9 ,rust nof( Inv j;lU;;htcr. At all - ventjj we ca onl. ho'pe for ,,e j now ons, .,(! many wer those weeks j ju whjci, poor Xeliy Trafford tossed upon i her het t)f suffering, with Marion Harper watching tenderly over her pillow. May, with its violets, glided into tho rosc-gar-landcd days of June; and still he life to all human appearance, hung upon a thread. 'You don't really say so!' ejaculated Col- j onel Adair, critically contemplating his Diijier nails, 'ilarked tor lite: aua sucn a - - . i damask rose leaf ofa complexion had, too! Well, upon my word. as she a man can't tell, in these days, what to look for next. As you say, a very interesting little person, and at one time I wou't deny that I was quite smitten.' Aod Colonel Adair satisfied his ideas of duty by leavius his card aod compliments, by a hotel waiter, at the door of tbe Trafford mansion. 'Out of the question to go one's self,' said the Colonel, with a little involuntary shudder. "Who knows what infection there may be in the atmosphere yet? and really, when a mau travels upon his good looks, he is bouud to take all practical care of 'em?" Harry Webb, however, took quite a different view of things. "Please ma'am," eaid Betsey, Mthat young gentleman wid the handsome, eyes

new

and the coal black hair is here agaio, an' he wont go away until he sees your own self, to hear how Miss Eleanor is!" And day after day Harry waited patiently in the hall, heedless of risk, reckless of consequences, to hear from Marion's own lips how the sick girl progressed. The flowers he brought shed a glow aod perfume through the rooms the little offerings of early fruit and hot bouse peach es seemed sometimes to tempt Elenor's feeble appetite, but she never asked whence they came. Tt is so good of them to think of me,' she said one evening, after a long si1 1 icut'o. 'Of whom ?' asked Marion. Of Kenneth Adair, to bo sure spoke a little in patiently. 'Harry Webb sent ilicm!' - And El anor said no more. Nelly Can I set st the window a littie while . to day? The sunshine and I feel so much strongerMarion!' So Marion wrapped the fragil little form in shawls and wheeled the big easy chair within the silken fall'of the rose-colored curtains, where Eleanor could see the corners aud goers iu the fashionable thor oughfare. Nelly turned her faced away with a shudder, as they passed the full length minor with its iiame of golden ivy leaves: she had not yet learned to contemplate with philosophy the wreck of her exquisite beauty. Eleanor was but a woman and women's hearts are strange, capricious things'. 'Maria,' she cried with suddenly btiglitenins; face, 'surely that is Colonel Adiir sauntering down the street perhapshe is couiini; bete! Has he innuire.d after me during my sickness?' 'Once.' 'Only once? And how long ogo?' 'About three wetks.' Eleanor's wasted fingers worked lessly within one another. 'And who is that lady with him? face is strange to me, Marion!' rest ller : That is Miss Le Clair from Alabama the lady to whom he is engaged to be mar ried. 'She is very lovely said Eleanor, listles-

down stairs, a pale, attenuated shadow of j her foi met- self, while the w hite robes that ' floated around her an 1 the colorless tint of her face made one think of some shadowy, disembodied spirit! j 'Eleanor Nelly; you can not think how happy this moment makes me!' he exclaimed, as he led tier to the sofa with tentier, deepening light in his eyes. To him there was no change; she would al-' ways bo the stme Eleanor whom ! he had first known and loarnei to love. j Nor, perhaps, was the transformation so ; repulsively great alter all. 1 tie first gloff , and freshness of the beauty was gone, but the vhsstened spirit shone out through the , walls of its fragile casket, us a hmp, fed with costly essences, shines through its alabaster shade! The clock struck nine before Mr. Webb rose to take his leave. Even then he lin- ! gered, leaning over Eleauor a sofa, like j oue who is loath to depart, j T have bee i here all the afternoon,' be said, 'and still I have left unsaid the obiject of my visit. Nelly, before I go away 1 want to ask one question ot you: 'Ask on!' she said with a somewhat tremulous smile; "It's the same question that I asked you beloro your illness; tne question, Nelly, that you promised to answer Withiu ttiis torttiiijtti!' lier lips curled with momeutary bitter j ness. 'You were not the only one to whom I gave a similar promise' 'I kuow it.' 'Colonel Adair has never coma bmk to ask of me the answer to his quesiiou!' 'Hut, Nel y, you will answer me if I put the fine -non over again; the questiou which has never left my breast for a day no, nor fr an hour. NeliVj do you love me? Will you become my wife?" The tears tilled her eves happy tears, yet not with mt a certain saducas! '1 am uot tho same Nelly you loved in old times, Harry Webb!' But itititiiiely dearer and m.re precious to me.

'I tued uot learn, llirry,' she murmured. 1 love you already, and I h'onor you still more ! Oh, tried and true! can I be wjrthy of your priceless affections!' An 1 when Marion Harper came to con duct her patieut back to her room, there was a soft brightness in Nelly's face that puzzle i her sorely, until the blushin tiirl whisDiied the secret in b r earl so bafore,' said '1 oo lu have told yoi Marion, quietly.

A young lady of the Concord High School (,Miss Ida Beonet) constructed the following most ingenious Btory. It is really a literary curiosity; Shrewd Simon Short sewed shoes. Seventeen Summers, speeding storms, spread ing sunshine, successively saw Simon's small shabby shop still standing stauuch, saw Simon's self-same squeaking sign still swinging, silently specifying: 'Simon Short, i Smithfield's sole surviving shoemaker.

Sunstroke. ., B i A N M I S KN t VAX .SI CA rf. One of the sacred promises to thosef who are to inherit the better life is; "That the suo shall not light upon thsm, nor any heat." lo the inhabitants of the "dry and thirsty land," it is well remarked by an author on sunstroke, this' promise was full wf meaning. This dis ease or rather accidcut, has undoubtedly, been recognized iu some form from the earliest periods of history. The sufferinj;" of armies in tropical climates, or during; the hot season in higher latitudes, is frequently due to the effects of heat. Laborers exposed to the steady action of the sun's rays in summer, and so situated or clothed as to interrupt free perspiration, or by their habits raising the temperature of the blood, are liable to sunstroke. 1( fellows that so called sunstroke may occur without exposure to the sun, and such is the case quite frequently. All the con ditions may be present iu the shade, and even wucn the pcrs-jn is in a state of rest. Hut if the individual is greatly fatigued, or poorly nourished, or weakened by disease, so that the nervous system is depress ed or enfeebled, the c licet of the snddetl elevutiou of the temperature of the volume of t lis blood may prove in out disastrous. This result is produced, not by over stimulation, but by scum I depression, for thia is the recognised effect of overheated blood upon the nervous centres. Whatever other and more subtle causes may be ope ratine upon the indi vidnal, this one will bfe most apparent, and, if avoided, will save the exposed person from an attack. By far the larger number of victims of sunstroke are the intemperate; they are predisposed by an induced depression of the nervous system, due to poor nutrition, aud by superheated blood from the use of stimulauts. They often fall dead in summer from the effects of heat, even while sitting quietly iu the shade. Among la bonis uud soldi, rs, the intemperate aro the subjects of suu stroke. The aged and infirm are liable to be prostrated by heat, due to the rise of the temperature of the blood, excited by the heated external air. Feeble children, also, often sink from pure exhaustion, duo to tl.e depression of heat. The premonitory symptoms are beat, dii.i ncss, great tliiisi, suffusion of the eyes, followed by fainting, or insensibili ty, like an attack of apoplexy. As sunstroke depends Upon several con ditions, of varying intensity, so its attack may be slight or great, according to these Condition?. Iu some cases,!! is but m transient fainting, or, pel haps, only alesU ing of slight depletion, lasting for several days, while in the severer forms, death fallows quickly, as though there had been a veritable coup do soleil, or stroke of the sun. In the management of this disease, bre ventiou is emiueutly important. It is an affection which can always be prevented by proper precautions, and the preventive measures can be practiced by every ohet The one prime object must be to Weep cool, and, above all, to keep the head, the seal of the grat nervous centres, cool. It will , not uo to cool the extremities Btmply, tot j thus tfie blood is diivcu in upon tbe brain i and lungs, utid fatal tiiischiel may thus be" created. The whole body should be kept j in os nearly the normal temperature as possible. This may ba done by dressing Jin light and loose clothing, which alio the cooling process ol prusptratieu to go" on unchecked. The Chinese fan their shaven tieads, and so, if we create a CUrreut of uir around us, we reduce temperature We should avoid all stimulating draughts which excite the circulation, and for the same re-tsou very active exercise becomes c'angeroua. Tie feeble and exhausted should be placed in airy rooms, and be gently fanned. Ihe laborer should rest outing the heat of tb day, drink cooling fluids, and when at work frequently bathti the head, neck and hands iu cold water. When the attack comes on, the suffered should be taken to a shade, a mustard plaster si ould be ni plied, aud over bie . bare head, tuck and chest cold water" should be dashed. This is all that can safe' ly be done without medical advice. Diffci'er.t Kinds of Nice Cak Povnp Cake.
