LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. The Purdne Prestdeaey. To the Editor of the Indlanaiwlls Journal I wish to confirm what I have already seen in print concerning one name and Purdue. The Greencastle Banner suggested a worthy man for the presidency of that institution when it presented the name of Dr. Joseph Tingley, of the Central Normal College, in that connection. Without disparaging any other name associated with this position, Dr. Tingley is worthy in every sense. He is an established scientist, a successful teacher; is a man of wide and varied experience, of unquestionable integrity, irreproachable character, scholarly ability, and when it would fall to his lot, as vice-president of Asbury, he always managed that institution successfully. Age and experience are invaluable in the presidency of an institution like Purdue University. These are some of the claims that the friends of Dr. Tingley respectfully suggest to the honorable board of trustees when they meet to select a president for Purdue. J. W. Harris. Thorntown, Ind., April 13. The Police an<l the Liquor Law. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: There is an unauthenticated rumor that the superintendent of our new, patent, nonpartisan, warranted-not-to-rip-tear-or-fade metropolitan police (acting under the instructions of the board of commissioners) is preparing and will shortly make public comprehensive, yet concise and vigorous instructions to the force enjoining and requiring an unsparing enforcement of the 11 o’clock and Sunday statutes relative to retail dealers in ardent spirits—i. e., “saloon keepers.” It is also rumored that this course is in pursuance of advice and requests emanating from Democratic headquarters. Is the rumor true? Will yon please publish the instructions referred to as soon as you can get the text, or even the substance thereof? It will be a most successful stroke of newspaper enterprise, if you should give this information to the public in advance of all rivals. In point of fact, it will be an overwhelming “scoop.” (Please pardon the use of this very expressive slang coinage.) The paragraph in the first batch of instructions, enjoining searching espionage and remorseless warfare against prostitution and fornication, is quite forcible, but then it is rather trite and stereotyped. It is safe, but is the customary thing with new and zealous police administrations, lacks the charm of novelty, and incurs no risk of offending “sensitive political influences” controlling large numbers of voters. It will never do for our non-partisan police force to fight shy of influential political classes. Arcadiex.

The Culture of Carp. So the Editor of tle Indianapolis Journal: I saw in the Journal a few days ago, an article from a man in Missouri, stating that the carp in his fish-pond were all dead, and attributing it to the cold weather of the past winter. As I have a carp-pond I feltsomewhat concerned about the safety of my carp. In the fall of 1881 I made a pond containing one-half acre, fed by springs. It is five feet deep in the middle and runs to a feather edge around the sides. In the fall of 1881 I applied to Mr. Baird, the United States Fish Commissioner at Washington, D. C., and received, the last'of November, sixteen young carp, four and five inches long. These I placed in my pond, and they all lived. Ten months afterward we seined some out and found them from sixteen to eighteen inches long and weighing from three to three aud a half pounds each. Daring the past winter Cicero creek was so high as to be above the levees of the pond, and other fish got into the pond, so I found it necessary to again drain my pond, to get rid of the intruders. After draining to the depth of thirty inches we seined out our carp and found all the sixteen alive and well, but not having gained much during the winter. I exploded dynamite in the pond, which destroyed all the other fish. I then returned the carp to the pond, which they now have to themselves and appear to be doing well. I find, from Mr. Fletchrr's report, that the variety I have are the mirror carp, as they are only partly covered witli scales. Their appearance would indicate that their spawning season will soon aomnience, and, if as prolific as some writers suv, I shall soon have an abundance. I would like to hear from others having carp-ponds. Cicero, Ind. Jame 6 R. Carson. M’CULLOUGH AND BOOTH. Why the Former Was Not invited to Join the Latter’s Band of Assassins. Broadway Lounger in New York Tribune. John McCullough replied to some questions l addressed him here during last week ns follows: “I presume I have seen the entire band of men John Wilkes Booth was drilling for his scheme to kidnap President Lincoln, yet he never introduced me-to any of them, but would turn aside when he might accidentally fall upon them at his room ami say: ‘John, you don’t want to be bored with those flats. Come along!’ I think the simplicity of my devotion to the stage and my desire to rise on it saved me from his confidence. He saw no political mettle in me. His own temptation sprang, herhaps, from not loving his art enough to be satisfied with it. Actors in all times have been very close to the spirits who make conspiracies. Shakespeare could have been in the Gunpowder Plot, as lie was only forty years old when it was discovered in that circle that frequented his theater. Booth once took me riding, much against my will, on horseback, to show me, he said, a good way to get out of town. Said I: ‘John, I T m sore as a hard-boiled egg, and want to leave by the train ’ I found him once in boots, spurs and gauntlets, with a knife, pistol and map of Maryland before -him, and he sprang upon me like a watch-dog. Another time he borrowed SIOO of me to come to New York and get some rebel friend out of prison. He was poor and so was I, and I had to rake to get the money and he to pay it back. I found his wardrobe in Canada and sent it to his mother; he had shipped it to Nassau, and the vessel had been wrecked, I think lie had little money, though he did make some in speculation. His mind was very intense; he always was a Southern man. When his name came out as the assassin, the scales fell from my eyes and I interpreted what I had seen.” Mr. Nye Leaves Greeley, Laramie Boomerang. . Greet.f.y. Cob, April 10. Dear Boomerang—T shall leave Greeley for the effete Fast in a few days, and I shall do so with some regrets. I shall, no doubt, find in the effete East less stringent rules in relation to alcoholic moisture than I do here, but that will not take the place of the many warm friendships that I have made. The breezes along the Chicago river and the breath of spring that faintly stirs the verdure of the cranberry marshes and the itmbragious hop poles of Wisconsin may fan my brief tresses and kiss the glistening expanse of brow with more warmth than do those of Greeley, but there will be no better friends than I shall leave inside the great barbedwire fence that nolds a colony of prosperous pioneers, and pioneers who have made the desert blossom as the rose and filled three big public-school buildings with bright-eyed children. I shall miss the Oasis Hotel and J)r. Law. I hope I shall mi§3 the divers and sundry

aches and pains, the bismuth and morphia and iron and ergot aud bromide and blisters and syrup complex, and other vegetables that have fallen to my lot, but aside from the* interest I purchased in Fezer’s drug store and the hours of suffering when I used to dig my toenails into the wall and try to control myself, my recollections of Greeley are of the most pleasant character. I would sneak a kind word here of the Oasis Hotel and Dr. Law and others if I could have got a reduction on my bills, but I can’t go around patting people on the back just for fuu, no matter how much they may deserve it. AN ENGLISH MOB. Scenes at a Birmingham Meeting—Peculiarities of English Mohs. Robert Laird Collier in Chicago Tribuue. At the hour of beginning the meeting, the confusion and rowdyism in the hall were so great that Lord Rosebery, the president of the Junior Liberal Club, made at least half a dozen attempts to speak, and was compelled to sit down under the running fire of hissing and badinage. There was a large police force present under the chief constable, but for more than half an hour the whole of the constabulary were ineffectual in quieting what was almost a mob. The mayor left his chair on the platform and walked among the audience, threatening to enforce the penalty of the law upon those who were the offenders. However, the ofleuders were so many and so scattered throughout the vast audience that both mayoral presence and threats were in vain. There were comparatively few seats on the floor of the hall, and the people weta standing on these and shouting and applauding. Finally the back of the building was pretty well cleared by the police, and meeting weut on. An English mob is unique. There is no mob on earth anything like a mob in England. In France, in Germany, iu Italy, as well is in America, there is a degree of selfrespect and restraint among the lowest classes. In England there is absolutely none. Whole masses of men and women in England will crowd into all sorts of public places with no aim or purpose whatever, but as tiie idlest of curiosity-seekers and mongers. When there is a private funeral or wedding hundreds of these people will follow, often in most unseemly fashion, the carriage or carriages. They will stand in the yard of church or chapel, or crowd about the door of a private house, and keep up loud talk, and pass remarks upon the appearance of .the bridal party or the funeral appointments. No private gathering of people is safe from their intrusion. These people will line the sidewalk to see the arrival of carriages, and stare and gape as the occupants leave the vehicles, and often make annoying criticisms upon the toilet of the ladies. This is a habit of the lower class, not only in London but in all the provincial towns. The middle and upper classes of England are very self-re-specting and reserved, except in the presence of their social superiors, or those who are deemed their superiors, and then they are ns cringing and servile of manner as the very lowest classes. The Englishman is a toady by birth and tradition. This mob business comes from the same temperament The present writer has witnessed the gathering and presence of great masses of people in America and in many of the countries of Europe, but nowhere has he seen such senseless and aimless pushing, crushing, hallooing, self-assertion, forth-putting, and social indecencies as among an English mob. Up to now the masses of the people are distrusted, not only by their rulers, but by the upper classes. Englishmen boast of their liberties, i nd really enjoy as few as any people in Europe. If by “Englishmen” one means Englishmen whose income reaches s.*>,ooo or more annually, then certainly they are free to do pretty much whatever they like. But if by Englishmen one means the bulk of the people—the millions who are living on S2OO a year and supporting themselves and families—then, practically, they know no more about liberty than the slaves of the South did twenty-five years ago. In the very heart of London there are landed proprietors who have the right to have and use gates at both ends of the street or thoroughfare! These gates are closed at certain times and hours. Most of the parks, or what in America would be called “cq>en squares,” are railed iu and kept shut the year through. All the parks and open spaces are under such manifold police regulations that life is too short for the full and satisfying comprehending of them. The lower classes are spoken of not as human beings, but as a higher grade of the animal kingdom.

JAY COOKE. Tli Veteran Danker Still Alert and Active, and Engaged in Large Enterprises. Gath's New York Gossip. I met Jay Cooke early last night. He is In perfect health, as fresh and boyish in spirit as ever, and is the idol of a large family of sons and nephew’s, and now gramlsons. His son, who sat beside him, seemed to weigh half as much more than himself, yet not to be as quick and flexible. When he got to Washington City, Mr. Cooke was awaited by a beaming lot of nephews, at the head of whom was young Harry Cooke, the oldest son of the late Governor of the District of Columbia. They took him home to see Governor Cooke’s w idow, w'ho is a delightful woman, originating in the w’estern part of New York State. The next day the nephew's carried the old banker out to the Little Falls of the Potomac river, to fish for perch at the head of tide. He caught about one-half of all the fish they caught, more than 100 in number, and good perch-fishing is probably as fine as Mr. Arthur can find in Florida. Mr. Jay Cooke has changed in no respect since 1 knew him in Philadelphia, twentytwo years ago, when he began to sell the first government loans. He has bought back the large house be built, called Ogontz; but I think it is too large for him and his family. Ancestral ideas have yielded in our times to experience and common sense. He went into mining in Utah, and made considerable money out of the Horn silver mine. In the meantime his estate, which was perfectly sound, except for panic and hostility excited by a variety of events, turned out to be strong iu assets; and those w’ho had faith in him and bought up the claims against him have had no reason to repent. Recently he has gone into the development of ore, and has built a railroad adjacent to the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania, starting from near Carlisle and running dow’n into the ore field. He now' meditates extending this railroad across the iow mountains to Gettysburg, thus giving a short line from the West to the battlefield of Gettysburg.

DOMESTIC BLISS. Mr, Ramsden Relates How He Met Ills Wife, and Tells of the Life She Led Him. Report of Trial iu New York Tribune. Mr. Ramsden gave his account of his relations with his wife, at times laughing violently and again hissing his words through his teeth. Mrs. Ramsden listened, as he accused her of being a street-walker, and denied that she ever had money or jewels, with upraised hands, and murmurs of “Ah, my God!” and “How can he say such things!” “The fact is,” said Mr. Ramsden, “I met her one night in the main street of Constantinople. I had just returned from the Crimea. I had made money. I had not seen a woman for two years. 1 was fascinated by the first pretty woman I met, and she was pretty, vary pretty. She was walking along at night, alone, with her veil up. ‘Come along.’said I accosting her just as I would any other woman. She was living then in a low neighborhood. Next day I took her to my hotel, and she lived with me five days.” “Oh! where were her relatives?” “Relatives! She never had any that I knew of. She used to talk of her mother in Jersualem, and she said she had just come from Varna. I never saw any of her relatives. As for money, she hadn’t a cent. After live days I sent her to Paris, while I stayed behind in Constantinople two or three months. Then I followed to Paris where she lived with me.” [Here Mrs. Ramsden lifted up her hands, and looking at her husband, murdered, “May God help you!”] “Then we went, continued Mr. Ramsden, “to London, then back to Paris, then to Dusseldorf and then to Cologne, where I married her, fool that I was. Married her because I was infatuated with her. Then, I tell you what, she led me a life. I thought she was mad. She used to kick me, and fight and rave. So two years later I got a deed of separation drawn out iu London, and I left her, paying her $7 a week. After a year I lived with her again. One day at table she threw a dish of vegetables at me and hurt my cheek.” [Here Mr. and Mrs. Ramsden both burst out laughing.] “Then she threw a knife at me. I started in business, but she ruined me, and I had to go into bankruptcy. Then seven years after our marriage I went to Paris. We were kicked out of a boarding-house on her account. and so I got a house for her. She refused to live there with me. ‘Now,’ I said, ‘if you refuse to live with me it will be a separation, and I will never live with you agaiu.’ She left me and weut to Calais. Shorfly after, she presented me with twins. •They’re not mine!’ I said, and they were not.” Mr. Ramsden then told how he took care ot the children, how his wife had him arrested, how he tried to establish a business in London and Paris, but could not on account of her persecution. “How about Mary Walker?” he was asked. “Well, Mary Walker lived with me in 1870. I had a Ghild by her.” Mr. Ramsden, after telling how he came to America to get rid of his wife, said: “One day\ as I was sitting at breakfast in Fortysecond street, a note came from my office saj*ing that a woman was raising ii—l down there. ‘Shouldn’t wonder,’ said I. ‘if that’s Beauty come back.’ Well, it was Beauty, and no mistake. She had come to me to get a living again, and she has been persecuting me ever since. In fact, the only quiet time I’ve had since I married her was the five years she was in prison for perjury.”

Where They Stone the Prophets. Alexandria (Va.) Gazette. It was stated in a paragraph in the Gazette’s Washington correspondence of yesterday, that the absence of everybody from the Fayette-street depot, in this city, except I bootblacks and porters, when the President j passed through here last Thursday, was ob- j served and remarked upon by certain of the j presidential party. Somehow or other it seems that Alexandria is no respecter of persons, so far as presidents are concerned, and that she never has treated them any better, and sometimes worse than she treats other pc ople. General Washington was knocked down in her marketplace, General Jackson had his nose pulled at her wharf, Mr. Johnson stood for half an hour on the platform of the train at the foot of King street, when connection with Washington was made by steamboat, without having a word addressed or a hand extended to him; Mr. Hayes had his shin skinned by being precipitated from a stand at the intersection of King and Washington streets, and now' Mr. Arthur has passed through and only had negro porters and bootblacks to stare at him. No matter what the Alexandrians may be, they certainly are not snobs. How a Senator’s Mother Was Cured. Virginia fNev.) Enterprise. Mrs. Jones, of Gold Hill, mother of Senator John P. Jones, of Nevada, was for many months afflicted with a distressing affection of the stomach, from which she suffered i greatly. A short time time ago, while on the second floor of her home, she started to go into a closet, as she thought, but opened the door leading to the staircase instead. Not ! noting her mistake, she walked off the landing and fell violently to the bottom of the steps, inflicting upon herself some painful i bruises, but sustaining no other injuries. Before she had scarcely recovered from her shaking up she began to experience a change of health in another direction that more than compensated her for a temporary lameness, for la and behold, her stomachic troubles had left her, and in their place came a healthy appetite, with a vigorous digestion, that gives the good old lady anew lease of life. She does not know to what to attribute this change, unless it be her lucky accident on the stairsteps. Similar cases are said to have been known before. Where Her Husband Perished. New York Herald. On one evening of every week a neatlydressed woman visits the stage entrance of Haverlv’s Theater, in Brooklyn. The main entrance of the Brooklyn Theater, destroyed by fire on the night of December 5, 1875, with nearly three hundred lives, occupied this particular site. The woman looks about her for a few minutes and then runs down Myrtle avenue to her home. One of the policemen attached to the station next door says that in the early evening of that terrible night, seven years and more ago, the husband of this woman asked her to accompany him to the play. She had leen hurd at* work during the day, and preferred to remain at home, but wished that he should visit the theater. He did so, and his body was among the unrecognized died on the following day. The wife fell ill, and for a time it was feared she would lose her reason. Once a week, at night, from the date of her recovery to the present, this poor w’onian has visited the spot Carter Harrison’s Horse-Fly. St. Loui Globe-Democrat. We can recall no similar spectacle since ill at of the Connecticut deacon’s funeral, where the trombone man, in the middle of a slow and plaintive dirge by the band at the grave, suddenly shot out a blast that started the hearse horses, terrified the mourners and broke up the whole proceeding, and being fiercely asked what in the name of everything torrid and unmentionable lie did that for, smilingly replied: “Gosh! I thought it was a note, and it was a horse-fly; but I played it.” Discouraging an Ohl Easter Custom. London Telegraph, April 2. A curious survival of an old Cheshire custom has been investigated by the magistrates sitting at Neston. It would appear that on Easter Monday a man named Thomas Lawton, accompanied by two other persons, presented himself at the house of William Pullen, at Loswall, and told him that he had come to “lift” his wife. The prosecutor told Daw ton to go away or he would kick him

I out; lie would not allow any one to take , such liberties. The defendant informed the bench that he was only endeavoring to carry out an old Cheshire custom. The men “lifted” the women on Easter Monday, anti the the men on Easter Tuesday. The magistrate replied that he had acted most improperly. The complainant would have been quite justified in taking the law into his own hands if the attempt had been persisted in. He must apologize and pay the costs. AARON BURK’S PISTOLS. A Formidable Pair of Weapons, With Oue of Which Hamilton Was Killed. Louisville Courier-Journal. Some weeks ago l ran across perhaps the most famous and fatal tire-arni9 on this continent —the superb dueling pistols of Aaron Burr. They are a bone-breaking brace of the first caliber, and the property of Captain Brent Hopkins, of this city. One of pistols fired the ball that killed Alexander Hamilton at Weehawken. It is identified by a long, deep notch indented on the handle. The pistols were made by Mortimer, of London, England, and were imported by Burr at the close of the revolutionary war. The barrels are thirteen inches long and carry an ounce ball. They are flint-locks, ami the pans for the priming are lined with gold, and the touch-holes are bushed with the same metal. They are liair-triggers, and shoot with great force and accuracy. The locks are very superior and of exquisite mechanism. The pair came into the possession of Captain Brent Hopkins, the present owner, through his uncle, Captain Sam Goode Hopkins, of the Forty-second regiment of United States dragoons, who purchased them from Burr in Washington City in the winter of 1813 or 1814, paying SSOO in gold for them. Captain Sam Goode Hopkins was in the war of 1812-’ls, and lost his holsters in a right in Canada, when his horse was shot from under him. He went to Washington expressly to buy the pistols, and called on Burr with Major-general Samuel Hopkins, the grandfather of Captain Brent Hopkins, who was tiien a Congressman from Henderson county, Kentucky. Burr remarked at the time that he would not let anyone else have the pistols, as they were the weapons he had used witn Hamilton. Captain Hopkins killed many an Indian with them in the war of 1812, and brought down a chief with one of them at the battle of Massasineway. Captain Hopkins died near New Madrid, Mo., in 1834, and left the pistols to his nephew, Captain Brent Hopkins, then a lad eieven years of age. The weapons have surely a blood-stained history. They have been used with fatal effect in eleven duels. Among the sanguinary combats, Pettis, of Virginia, killed Biddle on Bloody Island, near St. Louis; Edward Towns, of Virginia, killed a Frenchman near New Orleans; Captain Sam Goode Hopkins killed a Spanish Count near Madrid, Mo.; Hugh Brent killed a man from Georgia on Diamond Island, below Henderson, Ky. They were used several times in Virginia, twice in South Carolina, and more than once in Kentucky, with deadly effect. Robert Triplett, of Owensboro, shot the old lawyer Phil Thompson, of that city, through and through with one of them, but, strange to say, Thompson recovered and grew as fat as a bear. Henry Clay and Captain Hopkins were fast friends and the former was to have used the pistols in one of his duels, but they arrived a day too late.

They Are Gool Indians. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Navajo Indians arc good Indians. They never kill an innocent white man until he conies within six miles of their reservation. We wish that some of the Massachusetts philanthropists who gush over the Indians would come within six miles of the Navajo reservation. They would wish that they were back in the Tewksbury almshouse.
