The measure was debated at great length, and the time for general debate having expired, Mr. Holman offered an amendment that no moneys shall be appropriated except so much as is necessary to protect the works in progress in other portions of the river from waste and injury. He advocated the amendment, contending that as the work of improvement was experimental. the experiment should be confined •to one reach, say Plum Point reach, and not extended the whole length of the river. The amendment was lost. 100 to 132. Mr. Hiscock offered an amendment providing that the money appropriated be expended at Plum Point and Lake Providence reaches, except for the necessary preservation of property of the United States and other works already commenced. but not to further extend the same.

Pending a vote, the House adjourned. Coup Awarded J# 13,000 Damages. Detroit, Jan. 16.—An interesting ease, which has been on trial in the courts of this city for several days past, was decided this evening. In the year 1882 Win. 0. Coup’s circus had a very disastrous season in the South, and, in order to make tip the losses sustained in that region, the manager started for the North. An accident on the Wabash railroad in Indiana not only detained the circus several days, but prevented it fulfilling dates in Detroit by killing and injuring several employes, horses and animals. The canvass was ruined and things demoralized generally. As an outcome of these aggregate misfortunes, Coup claimed he could not meet his current expenses, tLu employes became dissatisfied, attachments were issued, and the property was seized and sold hv the sheriff, lamp brought, .suit against the Wabash as the cause, through negligence, of his disasters, laving damages at SIOO,000. The suit has been hotly contested, and a large number of interesting legal questions were raised during the trial. The jury finally returned a verdict for $15,000. Liberal Requests.

This will be in the year 2034, when the interest on the aggregate amount, will be de voted to local secular schools and academies. HIDDEN WEALTH. A Pennsylvania Woman Who Managed ner Own Savings Bank. Harrisburg, Jan. 16. —About a month ago Mrs. Michael Ulrich, residing with her husband on a farm near Highspire, in this county, died at an advanced age. All her life she and her husband, while amassing wealth, had lived most economically, but they had never put any money in bank, and it was generally supposed that they had a largo amount concealed in their house. Several years ago masked burglars broke into the house of the old couple, who had lived alone, and, by severe torture, including the roasting of their feet over a hot fire, succeeded in extorting from them about SI,OOO. The old couple fought hard for their money, and, to throw the burglars off the track and prevent them from searching the house, took them to an out-house where the thousand dollars was concealed, the old people being compelled to walk barefooted through the snow. A few days after the old woman's death, old man Ulrich, with his son-in-law. appeared at the door of the Farmers’ Bank, at Middletown, and they lugged in the room a bushel bag full of jjold and silver coin; the old man at the same time producing numerous rolls of bills of various denominations. All of this he deposited, saying that lie had found the money where it had been hidden away by bis wife in the house. A few weeks afterward he appeared with another bundle of greenbacks which he had found. After further search, a few days ago, for the third time, he entered the bank, bearing a pile of bills of high denominations—tens, twenties, and fifties. Mr. Ulrich said he found the last roll wrapped up in an old piece of paper in a little sewing basket, which was hidden in a chest. He knew nothing about it until he found it during his search, the old woman's plan being to hide the money where none could find it. The biding places she did not reveal when dying. The amount said to have been placed in bank is about $16,000. The old man is still searching. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications.

A Blow at Grave-Yard Insurance. Harrisburg, Pa.. -Tan. Id.—A recent decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania to the effect that no one not of kin of the. person insured can legally insure his or her life, and that in cases where insurance has been effected contrary to this principle of law the amount received by the holder of such insurance on the death of a person is recoverable, less the assessments paid by said individual, is causing great uneasiness among speculators in grave-yard insurance. In this country, the hot bed of this traffic, a number of suits have been brought against persons who had no insurable interest in the person whom they insured, and qii whose death they received a portion or the full amount of the policy. Many of these speculators are in a fair way of being compelled to gorgeCouldn't Ivins Her. New York. Jan. Hi.—Samuel Brown was married July 30, 1882. He now sues for separation in the Court of Common Pleas on very novel grounds. Though married, he alleges, he could not kiss his wife. Immediately after the marriage he discovered that her breath was so offensive that he almost rued the day he was bom. Ho declares that he. has been informed and fully believed that her former husband left her on that account, and even obtained a divorce from her in Hungary on account of it. He says that it is entirely improper and unsafe for him to live with her: that not only his comfort is marred, but his life and health and those of his children are endangered. He asks only for perpetual separation, not an absolute divorce. Working the “.Lambs.” Baltimore, Jan. 16. Bankers and brokers of this city have recently boon receiving night messages from Philadelphia advising them to purchase, ‘‘at. the opening to-morrow,’’certain designated stocks. These.dispatches have for signatures the initial letters or a Christian name only, such as *‘J. H.” or ‘ John.” This morning a film ou South street found at their banking house a night message from Philadelphia, signed “R. H:” and dated Jan. 15, stating “Richmond terminal, if bought at the opening to-morrow, will show large profit.” It is probable those dispatches are sent to other places JO entrap “lambs.” The Steamer Johnson Burned. Pittsburg. Jan. 10.—The steamer J. 1). Johnson burned early this morning, while lying in the harbor of the Monongehala river at Woods Run, Pa. Two men on board at the time made narrow escapes, and were obliged to leave the boat without clothing. The tin' caught from a stove. The boat belonged to Richard Wellington, and was valued at SIO,OOO. Professor Cromwell, the art connoisseur, was cured by St. Jacobs Oil, of rheumulism.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1884.

PROHIBITION IN lOWA. Governor Sherman’s Views as to the Duty of the People’s Representatives. Des Moines, Jan. 16.—1n his message to the Legislature Governor Sherman says: “Since the last session grave questions affecting the interests of the State, the preliminaries to which were adopted by your predecessors, have been submitted to the direct vote of the people, and by them determined in the maimer authorized by the Constitution and the laws; and it remains for you to give effect to this expression of the popular judgment. This applies with especial force to the temperance question, which has agitated the State for many years. The proposition to amend the fundamental law by a prohibition of the sab* of intoxicants as a beverage, having passed the several stages of legislation prerequisite, was at last submitted to the citizens of the State and by them adopted by a decisive vote. Notwithstanding the people had so expressed their pleasure therein, and under our theories of government the court of the sovereign people is that of last 'and highest resort, and theft* decision had been evinced through the proper constitutional part of the government, the amendment so adopted was attempted to be nullified by a co-ordinate branch. -Various opiu ions prevail as to such an attempt and its binding force and effect: but one only can obtain as to the moral obligation resting upon the representatives of the people in the General Assembly in such an emergency. The duty remains to the law-making power that the principle thus adopted by the people be voiced iu proper statutory enactment, and I confidently trust that ere your session shall end the legal remedies will be provided whereby the people may protect themselves from further devastations caused by this unlawful traffic, destructive alike to present and future generations. Ours is a government by the people, of the people, and for the people, and. their will being ascertained, no representative of the people can justify himself in opposition thereto, the ultimate effect of which would be certain destruction to the principle of free government, to establish which the life of the nation has been twice imperiled and thousands 5f lives sacrificed. Partisan ties should be laid aside, and, in consideration of this great question, and forgetful of all else save the ultimate good to the State, let us vie with each other in perfecting the law, in response to the public command. Nothing less should he attempted; nothing less will satisfy a thoroughly-aroused people. No argument is necessary to establish the fact of the evil results of the traffic; that is conceded hy every observer. We have differed only as to the best methods of dealing therewith. But, now that the direct question, stripped of eveiy appendage t has been passed upon by direct vote, and that after thorough discussion at every fireside, and where, too, deception was practically impossible, and the calm, deliberate judgment in favor of the principle of prohibition has been pronounced, I can see no escape from the duty of the enforcement of that decision. ”

OHIO’S LIQUOR LAWS. Governor Hoadly Thinks the Scott Law Should Not Be Repealed. From Inaugural Address. No reform is, in my judgment, more desirable Hum to find some common ground upon which conservative men of all parties may stand in opposition alike to prohibition and to free trade in liquor, which shall furnish adequate legal restraint not to temperate, hut intemperate drinking, and not unduly interfere with the right of the individual liberty and the duty of self-controL Perhaps no measure can be devised that will fully accomplish this result. That which comes nearest is, 1 am persuaded, the system of license, with graduated taxation. By the graduation of the tax or license fee justice is done the dealer, whose burden is thus proportioned to the extent of legal protection he enjoys, and has relation also to his opportunity for mischief. By scrutiny before license and before renewal, power may be given to drive from the trade men of known had character, and those who have conducted it illegally, and to confine its privileges to law-abiding citizens who keep orderly houses of entertainment. Without an amendment to the constitution the full benefits of a proper system of license and taxation cannot be had. Such amendments, promised in 1851 and 1874, were defeated by small majorities. A different result might, perhaps, follow the submission of this proposition by the present General Assembly to the qualified voters at the election in 1885. The alternative amendment submitted in 1883, which would have given power to license, was cast in such form as also to authorize direct prohibition or prohibition by arbitrary and excessive taxation, and, therefore, lost the favor of many. We have to deal, however, with the constitution as it is, but with the advantage of knowing, from the labors of the Supreme Court, that the act of 1883, commonly known as the Scott lav/, is not in conflict with the inhibition against the passnge of laws to license this traffic. Although this act may not, in the legal or technical sense, establish a license system, it has some of its jidvantages, produces some of its effects, and in practice largely partakes of the nature of a license law. While it does not in direct terms protect the dealer against interference during the year for which lie is compelled to pay a tax. it indirectly insures his protection in the undisturbed continuance of his traffic by the contributions it exacts toward tht< diminution of general taxation and by the general interest it thus creates against prohibition or the destruction of the trade. A community to whose expenses this traffic largely contributes and whose taxes it diminishes will not be inimical to its continuance upon economic or financial grounds, at least. I do not believe this law ought to be repealed, but that the graduation of its taxation and the withdrawal of the power of municipal prohibition would convert it into as just and efficient a license law as is consistent with the constitutional inhibition without at all withdrawing the force of any of the reasoning upon which the majority of the Supreme Court sustained its constitutionality. A LIFE OF ADVENTURE. The Story of Chinese* Gordon’s Services in China, on the Danube, and in Egypt. London Times. The story of Chinese Gordon’s life, full as it has been of adventure and stirring incident, cannot fail to appeal to a wide circle of readers. Very few men of onr age have held so large a place in public consideration as he has, both for liis lofty courage and for his honesty of purpose, while his achievements in China have obtained a durable place in history. Mr. Egmont Hake’s narrative is interesting; and it could not appear at a more opportune moment than now, when so many of the scenes, both in China and Soudan, with which Gordon’s name is connected, are sub jects of general attention. The record of Gordon’s career would he impressive under any circumstances. but it will be allowed to his biographer that he has turned to good use the copious materials at his disposal, and that this volume is worthy of the fame of its subject. Mr. Hake describes in some detail the early incidents of his cousin’s career. The traditions of his family made Charles Gordon a soldier. His father was a major-general in the artillery; his.elder brothers had preceded him in the profession of arms. It was the most natural arrangement that he himself should be entered at Woolwich for the Royal Engineers. At Woolwich be was not considered in his studies a promising candidate. Once, Mr. Hake tells us, he was rebuked for incompetence and “told that lie would never make an officer; whereupon he tore the epaulets from his shoulders and flung them at his superior's feet.” He obtained his commission, none tliQ less, and in 1850 r proceeded to the Crimea, where he served several months in the trenches, and obtained the reputation of being the quickest mail to detect the plans and movements of the Russians. After the close of the war he was employed on the frontier commissions in Bessarabia and Armenia, where his talent as a draughtsman stood him in such good stead that all his applications for leave to return home were distinctly refused at t.lie Horse Guards. In the year 1860 the difficulty with China had assumed a serious form, owing to the repulse, of Admiral Hope’s attack on the Taku forts, and a large Anglo-French ex pedition was sent to the Peiho for tin* purpose of bringing tho Chinese government reason. Before Gordon reached China the Taku forts had been attacked a second time and captured; but ho was engaged in all the later operations, which terminated with the occupation of Peking and the destruction of the Summer Palace. When the Taipings became more active in the

country around Shanghai, Gordon's experience of the Chinese—for at Tientsin he had employed his spare time in studying the character and country of the people—was called into requisition for the purpose of clearing the district round that great place of trade of the insurgents. His measures wore completely successful, and when he had driven the Taipings back to the line of the Grand canal, he zealously devoted himself to the task of personally surveying the whole country for a distance of thirty miles around Shanghai. This thoroughness showed the character of the man, and he attributed to the topographical knowledge thus acquired his subsequent success when employed in the Emperor’s name against the bauds of the Nankin faction. The necessities of the Chinese government compelled it to have recourse to foreign allies; but, although the services of a few American adventurers were obtained, neither their exploits nor their character promised a speedy issue from the dangerous situation into which the young Emperor’s authority had been brought. The climax was reached when Burgevine violently appropriated for his own purposes the sum of $40,000, and was dismissed from the Chinese service in consequence. It, was then that the Chinese applied to the English general to nominate a trustworthy officer for the command of the foreign-drilled contingent, and General Staveley named Captain Gordon, then not more than thirty years of age. The manner in which he led the so-called “ever victorious army” from one success to another, until he had cleared the province of lviangsu and the course of the Grand canal of the presence of the Taipmg rel>els, is almost a thrice-told tal*: but still Mr. Hake has succeeded in imparting freshness to a record of military achievements which in their way were and still are unique. When Gordon assumed the command of the force a necessity for greater vigor had arisen in consequence of the defeat of Colonel Holland in an attack on Taitsan. The Taipings were naturally very jubilant over their success, and affected for a time to entertain a contempt for tin* prowess of the Europeans. “They thought they could take Nankin, and they have failed before Taitsan.’’ Such was their boast when Gordon was called upon to repair the blunders and misfortunes of his predecessors. He soon justified the expectations of thoSe who had followed his career by capturing both Fushan find Taitsan. Other successes rapidly followed. His force was dressed in a semi-European uniform, and the men wore boots. Such was the terror produced by their presence that the Mandarins availed themselves of a ruse iu order to spread a belief that they were more numerous than they were. The Taotai of Shanghai purchased some thousand pairs of European boots, which he distributed so that “the marks of Gordon’s soldiers might be everywhere visible.” We must make room for the following quotation, showing how Gordon obtained lus extraordinary influence over the Chinese, and his not less remarkable hold on the adventurers from all countries arrayed under his flag “In almost all these engagements Gordon found it necessary to be constantly in the front-, and often to lead in person. Tin; officers of his force were brave men enough, but were not always ready to face their desperate antagonists. Gordon, in his mild way, would take one or other of these by the arm and lead him into the thick of the fire. He always went unarmed himself, even when foremost in the breach. He never recognized danger; to him a shower of bullets was no more than a hailstorm. He carried one weapon to direct his troops —he had but a little cane, and this soon won for itself the name of “Gordon's magic wand of victory.’ His Chinese followers, seeing him always victorious, always foremost in the fight, concluded that it was bis wand that insured him protection. The idea encouraged the ever-victorious army greatly, and was of more service to the young commander than all the arms he could have borne.” Gordon left China in 1864, and returned to England. He was still only a captain of engineers. Yet he had led several thousand men with consummate skill, and it was not denied that he had won great victories. Having thus outstripped all laws of seniority, having commanded armies and saved an empire when he should, according to rale, have been still engaged in mastering the intricacies of fortification, it necessarily followed that it was not an easy matter to provide him with suitable work on his return. With the best possible intentions the young hero was given a consular appointment on the Dan übe, whence he was summoned in 1874 to Egypt by the late Khedive. The new task assigned to him was in some respects more difficult than that intrusted to him in China, for whereas in the far East he had only to vanquish an enemy whose forces were revealed, he had to deal in the Soudan with difficulties which wore only partially known, while he had to reconcile as well as he could instructions that were incompatible with the facts of the position. It was to his credit that, working on a reduced pay, and without any desire for fame, he devoted all his powers to the performance of his work, and constituting himself the champion of distressed humanity, spared no effort, to put an end*to the suffering and infamous lot of the dark-skinned races over whom he was called to exercise authority. During live years he toih.nl iu this cause with unflagging zeal, and when he resigned the powers with which the Khedive had intrusted lnm it was admitted that he had not merely put a stop to the worst evils of the traffic in slaves, but that he bad prepared the way for the emancipation of the Soudanese in 1889, should the Egyptian government of that day possess the forces and the will to make good its bond So far as his career has yet run, Chinese Gordon, who is a major-general in the Royal Engineers, will bo remembered for two episodes, the Taiping rebellion and the governorship of the Soudan. His biographer shows that his private life has been a counterpart of his public career. Devotion to duty has been his motto throughout. and if his extreme dislike to be praised, and his over-anxiety to hide himself and his actions from the world have been sometimes misunder- | stood, they are the natural accompaniments of his simple but lofty character. The age of heroes has long gone by, hut so long as Chinese Gordon is with us there will he a living type of the qualities which were, and always must be. heroic.

An Agricultural Creed. Canada Farmer. The agriculturalists of Canada met in convention and adopted for themselves the following creed: “We believe in small farms and thorough cultivation; we believe that the soil loves to cat, as well as its owner, and ought, therefore, to be well manured; we he believe in going to the bottom of things, and. therefore deep plowing and enough of it—all th i better if it be a subsoil plow; we believe in large crops, which leave the ground better thau they found it, making both the farm and the farmer rich at once: we believe every farm should own a good farmer; we believe that the fertilizer of any soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise, intelligence—without these lime, gypsum, and guano would be of little use; we believe in good fences, good farms, good farmhouses, good orchards, and good children enough to gather the fruit: we believe in a clean kitchen, a neat wife in it, a clean cupboard, a clean dairy, and a clean conscience; we believe that to ask a man’s advice is not stooping, but of much benefit; we believe that to keep a place for everything and everything in its place saves many a step, and is pretty sure to lead to good tools and keeping them in order; we believe that kindness to stock, like good shelter, is saving of fodder; we believe that it is a good thing to keep an eye on experiments, and note all, good and bad; wo believe it is a good rule to sell grain when it is ready; wo believe in producing the bt.,„ butter and cheese, and marketing when it is ready.” “English as She Is Wrote” in a Magazine.
