Harrison in Western Union stock in New York, the stock having been bought when it was down to 49. The recent advance had made the purchase worth about #12,000, and Judge Lamb was anxious to get bands on it in order to have something that would figure as assets. He sent a trusted agent to New York, who, unfortunately, arrived a day too late, as the stock had been garnisheed by a New York creditor. After Xml Kennedy.

J. €. S. HARRISON INDICTED. His Bond Fixed at $60,000, Which He Failed to Give. Judge Suit’s Ruling in the Habeas Corpus Proceeding—Mr. Harrison Under Surveillance by the Sheriff. Mr. John C. S. Harrison is experiencing the vicissitudes of misfortune to an apparently unlimited extent On Saturday morning he was released from police surveillance by giving the requisite bond, and later m the day was rearrested on a grand jury indictment, charging him with embezzlment, and since then, Deputy Sheriff Whitesell has been in his house, watching over his movements. In the habeas corpus proceedings instituted by Mr. Harrison Judge Suit ruled that the bond of $60,000, as fixed by Mayor Me Master, was excessive, and ordered that it be reduced to SIO,OOO, which was done, and the police were withdrawn from Mr. Harrison’s house, after his brother-in-law, Mr. Nicholas McCarty, had become his bondsman. This action on the part of Judge Suit was severly criticised by many of the creditors of the Indiana Banking Company, while others were more charitable, beleiviug that all possible leniency should be extended to a man in Mr. Harrison’s condition. In the afternoon the grand jury returned the following bill against Mr. Harrison: State of Indiana vs. John C. S. Harrison. Indictment for embezzlement. The grand jurors for the county of Marion and State of Indiana, upon their oaths present that John C. S. Harrison, on the Bth day of October. 1883. was duly and legally appointed receiver of Mary Morrison, Jane W. Ketch am, Mary Morrison, administratrix of the estate of William H.

Ketcham. Mary Morrison, administratrix of the estate of William H. Morrison, de- ‘ ceased, John L. Ketcham, Wm. Needham. Peter Ditmars, Peter J. Banta, and Fred A. W. Davis, partners as aforesaid. That on the 24th day of July, 1884, the said N. B. Taylor, judge of said court, as aforesaid, duly and legally ordered and duly entered of record an order, requiring the said John 0. S. Harrison, as such receiver, to make and file with the clerk of said court a full and complete statement of his actions and doings, receipts and disbursements in said trust, and to forthwith pav over to the said clerk all of the moneys with which he, the said Harrison, was chargeable as such receiver in said trust, which said order was duly and legally served upon said Harrison by the sheriff of said county, in pursuance of said order of said judge.

Wm. T. Beown, Prosecuting Attorney. John W. Branch, Foreman. State witnesses: Calvin F. Rooker, Samuel W. Watson, James H. Alva, Justinian H. Iluell, John Landers, Absalom M. Vickery. Judge Norton fixed Mr. Harrison’s bond at $60,000, and the warrant was served on him by Sheriff Hess, who found him in bed, evidently very sick. Dr. Newcomer stated that his condition was such that it would be very unwise to remove him, and Dr. Maxwell, who was called in, confirmed this opinion. Deputy Sheriff Whitesell was accordingly left in the house, and is still there. Sheriff Hess stated to a Journal reporter last night that he had spent the greater part of the afternoon with Mr. Harrison, and that he was somewhat better than the preceding day. He thought he would be able to give the requisite bail to-day, and that there would be no longer occasion for him to be under surveillance by the authorities. His illness is the result of a number of maladies, the latest complication being symptoms of fatty degeneration of the heart There is no doubt his condition is quite serious.

PERSONAL MENTION. Hon. C. C. Matson, of Greencastle, was at the Bates House, yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. John M. Shaw have returned from their European trip. J. W. Riley leaves this morning on a visit to Don Piatt, at his country home. Mr. Cornelius Jonas, a well-known citizen of Perry township, died yesterday. a Judge John N. Scott and family have returned after a year's sojourn in Arkansas. Miss Irene Martin, the daughter of President Martin, of Asbury University, is visiting in the city. Miss Effie V. Jones returned home last week from a three weeks’ visit with friends in and near Terre Haute, but left again on Thursday to spend a few weeks more with relatives at Wabash. Col. J. B. Maynard, who for several years has done faithful service as editorial writer of the Sentinel, has resigned. He is succeeded by Mr. Echols, who has done political work for the paper over the nom de plume of “Roy Roy.” Saratoga Letter: Mrs. Hendrioks, with her distinguished husband, has visited Saratoga for many seasons, and is therefore quite well known here, but it is more than probable that she never attracted as much attention even in her youthful bloom and beauty as she does now, when she is possibly to be the hostess of the White House. She is courted and flattered, and even toadied to in a manner that I am confident is foreign to her delicate sensibilities; but she is gentle and courteous to everybody, and underneath her quiet manner I can see that she possesses great force of character, good judgment and a keen insight into character. Mrs. Hendricks is rather below medium height, of good figure, somewhat pale, but with undeniable good looks, not precisely a beauty, but one of those whose faces remain longest in your mind. I can

imagine that she would be a valuable aid to any ambitious and talented man whose interests were her own. She dresses with exquisite neatness and taste, and seemed to take great pleasure in watching the little children. Professor H. S. Tarbell will leave for his new field of labor, Providence, R. 1., next Thursday. The Educational Weekly says: “Professor Horace S. Tarbell, late superintendent of the Indianapolis schools, was born at Chelsea, Vt, in 1838, and is the son of a Methodist minister. He was educated at a Methodist college—Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn., —from which he graduated in 1859. Mr. Tarbell, soon after graduating, began teaching in the New England academies, where he remained for seven years. In 1866 he came West, teaching for five years in Detroit, Mich., as principal of the ward schools. At this time he was elected superintendent of the East Saginaw schools, from which he received the promotion to the State superintendency for Michigan. In 1878, having been elected superintendent of the Indianapolis schools, he resigned his position and removed to this city. In his short stay in Indiana Mr. Tarbell has won many friends, as he richly deserves. Providence, R. 1., whither he goes as superintendant, at a salary of $3,000, has received a prize, while Indiana has lost a strong educator, a Christian gentleman and a manly man." Hotel Arrivals.

SEVEN WEAK CANDIDATES. The Democrats, in a Mob-Like Convention, Nominate a Legislative Ticket. The Democratic convention for the nomination of a legislative ticket was held on Saturday afternoon, at Mozart Hall, and of all the noisy, unruly and unseemly political mobs ever got together in Marion county it was certainly the worst It was utterly impossible to control it or keep it even within the bounds of common • decency. Only about two-thirds of the delegates were in attendance, but the crowd was sufficiently large. Sim Coy, chairman of the county committee, called the convention to order, and immediately gave place to Hon. W. D. Bynum, who acted as chairman, the convention being an adjourned meeting of the county convention over which he had presided. Charles Cooper acted as principal secretary. Resolutions were presented by Mr. Coy, as follows, and they were adopted: “Resolved. That the nominees of this convention are hereby instructed to favor such legislation as will tend to prevent bank failures, and secure depositors from loss. They are also instructed to secure a law abolishing the useless and expensive offices of treasurer and assessor of Indianapolis, and providing that the duties now performed by these officers be hereafter performed by the county treasurer and township assessor. They are also instructed to oppose every measure tending to increase the indebtedness of the city of Indianapolis, or the county of Marion, or to increase the taxation in either, or any change making the law less restrictive upon this subject than the law now is.” A resolution of thanks to those patriotic statesmen who had aided in the passage of the metropolitan police till was also adopted, after which the convention settled down to business. The nameß of Joseph W. Nichol, W. C. Thompson and John A. Finch were put forward for the State Senate. The first ballot resulted in the choice of the first named, and he responded briefly. The name of John A. Finch was withdrawn, and Dr. Thompson was unanimously nominated for the other place on the senatorial ticket. For representatives the names of Jesse S. Whitsett, Dr. W. B. McDonald (Pike), James Hopkins, Michael Farrell, William A. Anderson (Frauklin), Henry Ruesse, S. Leffingwell. R. C. J. Pendleton, Ed Schmidt, Michael H. Cain, W. J. Tarleton (Perry), John Schley, George W. Geiger, Adolph Frey and W. J. Turpin were presented, and the balloting was continued with the greatest wrangling and confusion. It was well understood that the Coy ring had already decided upon the ticket, which was to read “Whitsett, Schmidt, Farrell and Ruesse.” That it does not so read is owing to no tault of the ring, the members of which had the delegates. pretty well under control. Whitsett and Schmidt were nominated without much trouble, bqt a wrangle ensued over the third ballot between the friends of Farrell and Cain, the former, however, nominating their man, after a hard and bitter fight R. C. J. Pendleton was selected as fourth man, greatly to the disgust of the representatives of the labor element and the country delegates. Pat Kelley and that distinguished advocate of human rights, Sam Leffingweil, arose and warned the convention against committing the fatal blunder of not putting a laboring man on the ticket. The latter, with becoming modesty and native grace, informed the delegates that there were good representatives of the labor element before them. “There are two of us here who would be satisfactory to the laboring men. I’m one and John Schley is the other.and either of ns would make a damned good representative.” The convention showed’ its appreciation of the great agitator’s modest effort’by forthwith nominating Schley, notwithstanding the protest of the county delegates, led by Dr. Sample Loftin, who were clamoring for recognition on the ticket. The business of the assemblage being completed the monkey saluted the parrot and the convention adjourned. There were loud and long protests from many of the delegates and the dissatisfaction at the outcome is general. A Vigorous Saloon Flgljt. Saturday afternoon Andrew Scanlan, a freight conductor on the L, B. & W. railroad, was badly beaten up in a row in the California House saloon, and Charles C. Skotzki, the proprietor, and Stephen Skotzki, the bar-tender, were arrested for the offense. Mrs. Phgbbe Rioe, 1208 Madison street, a sister of Hon. H. Clay Sexton, chief St Louis fire department, says the St Louis Post-Dis-patch, had been a sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism for seven years; the muscles of her hands and limbs were contracted and she used crutches. By a single application of St Jacobs Oil she was benefited instantaneously, and finally completely cured.

SOULS, MINDS AND BODIES, Sermon by Rev. John Alabaster at the Meridian-Street Church. The Reciprocal Influence of Moral, Meutal ami Physical Existence—The Great Importance of Faith. At the Meridian-street Church,yesterday morning, Rev. John Alabaster, D. D., preached to a large audience, his theme bffing “Religions Experience and Physical Infirmity,” or “Pills and Prayer." He took as his text Psalm lxxvii, 10: “And I said, this is my infirmity, bat I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High. ” Dr. Alabaster spoke substantially as follows: Said a college president to a theological class of which I was a member. “In the course of your ministry you will find cases that need pills more than prayers.” This fell strangely on my ear. I did not then know that cases of spiritual despondency are not uncommon, whose only or chief cause is bodily infirmity. Cases of spiritual despondency are found among old and young. There, are cases of fluctuating experience, now characterized by great joy, then by despondency. The text is taken from one of David’s psalms, and affords an illustrious instance of the influence of bodily disorder to cloud religious enjoyment How bitterly the psalmist bewails his condition, before God. It is an awful spiritual trial through which the royal believer is passing. He scarcely knows how to account for it, for he is conscious of no special sin. But he finally solves the mystery: “This is my infirmity,” and he says “my sore ran in the night and ceased not” A wise puritan divine, Rev. Richard Greenham, once said to a brother minister who was in spiritual darkness: “There is a great deal of wisdom requisite to consider both the state of the body and of the soul. If a man that is troubled in conscience comes to a minister, it may be he will look all to the soul and nothing to the body; if he cometh to a physician he considered the body aud neglecteth the soul. For my part, 1 would never have the physician’s counsel despised nor the labor of the minister neglected; because, the soul and body dwelling together, it is convenient that, as the soul should be cured by the word, by prayer, by fasting, or by comforting, so the body must be brought into sane temperature by physic and diet, by harmless diversions and such like ways; providing. always, that it be so done in the’ fear of God as not to think by these ordinary means quite to smother or evade our troubles, but to use them as preparations whereby our souls may be made more capable of the spiritual methods that are to follow afterward.” Mr. Wesley studied medicine that he might be more successful as a minister; and, in that nobler, grander age of the world and of the church, yet to come, it may be demanded that the minister shall be physician, metaphysician and philosopher, as well as theologian.’ The reciprocal influences of the mind and body are many and powerful. Said the Scotch philosopher, Reid: “Medical cannot be separated from moral science without reciprocal and essential mutilation.”

Consider some instances of the influence of mind on body. No person acquainted with the care of the sick can fail to know how materially their recovery depends upon a hope exercised by the patient. Every physician seeks to inspire hope. Ido not think I should hazard either my judgment or veracity, in the estimation of any skilled physician, by saying that at least fifty per cent of the success of medical practice depends upon the hope which mingles with the medicine. It is a common observation in army practice that the sick and wounded of the defeated side are more liable to die than those of the victorious party. It is one of the annoying facts to regular practitioners that quacks and their nostrums so ofter succeed in effecting cures. The reason is obvious. While the really skilled physician, who comprehends the difficulties of the case and hesitates to inspire large hopes of recovery might fail, the quack who knows little, by his very assurance and the hope he inspires, succeeds. So does the Bible announce not only as a fact of religion, but one of the deepest principles of the philosophy of daily life when it says, “We are saved by hope." Not less potent is joy in its influence upon the physical man. Solomon says: “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine' but a broken spirit dryeth the bones.” The excess of joy has sometimes proved fatal by its too great influence upon the circulatory or nervous systems. It is not a figure of speech to say that people die of grief. The decision of the medical council that attended General Robert E. Lee, of the Southern Confederacy, was that he died of a broken heart. He found himself historically connected with a “lost cause.” Undoubtedly many diseases and deaths are caused by a mor- ■ bid condition of mind, operating on the vital organs of the body. Fear is another of those strange mental states which make their mark upon the physical man. The fear of disease has often been known to produce disease. We are all conversant with the power of imag- - ination. It is not impossible for you even to scent the fragrance of the cloverfields, and smell the new-mown hay. in the graphic description of the skillful speaker. Dumas, the novelist, published one of his productions in parts, in a Paris • paper. The heroine was a consumptive. All the slow and gradual symptoms were touchingly described, and great interest was excited among the readers of the story for the fate of the young lady. One day the Marquis Dalomien called on the novelist, and said: “Dumas, have you composed the close of your story)’’ “Yes,” said the writer. “Does the heroine die in the end?” “Os course; dies of consumption.” “You must change that,” said the Marquis, “and make her live.” “I cannot.” “Yes, you must; for on your heroine’s life depends my daughter’s. Sne has all the various symptoms which you have described and watches mournfully for every part of your novel, reading her own fate in that of the consumptive. ■ Now, if you can make your heroine live, my daughter, whose imagination has been deeply impressed, will live also.” Dumas changed his last chapter, his heroine recovered and was happy, and so was the daughter of the Marquis. There are schools of medicine which are quite successful in their practice, whose chief cause of cure is the imagination of the patient That there are subtle relations between the mind and the body is very apparent, aind something of which we each have consciousness in daily experience. So apparent is the powerful influence of the bodily states over intellect and the emotions that the materialistic school practically denies the existence of soul as a separate entity, declaring that all supposed manifestatinos of soul are but phenomena of the physical organism. Brodie, an eminent medical writer, says it is the business of medical practitioners to study not only the influence of the mind on the body, but also that of the body on the mind. The stomach is one of those organs whose diseases or disarrangements affect the mind in its manifestations. Public speakers are usually careful about much eating just before an effort on the rostrum. Writers usually avoid eating heavily while at work. “Many a battle," said Lord Chesterfield, “is lost because the general had a fit of indigestion.’’ The eccentric Dr. Cox said that it was well that Luther was not a dyspeptic, for the reformation might have been delayed had he wanted a good digestion. The explanation of that crabbed, cynical Scotchman, Thomas Carlyle, is that he was from early life a dyspeptic. They who have adored this modern iconoclast have simply been idolizing the miseries of a bad digestion. The lungs and heart, according as they perform their important offices, materially affect the sensibilities. Perhaps no organ of the body is so powerful and none so direful in its influence upon the whole mental constitution as the liver. Let it perform its functions well and the person is hopeful, courageous, trustful. Let it refuse its offices and send back upon the system its turgid stream, and the brightest day is clouded, the fairest prospect but a withered waste, the best friend distrusted; while envy, anger jealousy, may follow in the train of evils. The whole immaterial constitution of man may feel the sad consequences of a deranged liver—the judgment, will and sensibilities. Who does not know the influence of sleep, or the want of it? Who has not been under the influence of day, or been made elastic by a cheerful, sunny morning? Who has not experienced the influences of atmospheric changes? Who is there, also, who does not know the influence of light and darkness; of bad odors or sweet scents; of fatigue or refreshment; of foul atmospheres or pure fresh air; of youth or age, or the mental states and sensibilities? Shak speare makes Macbeth ask the physician, “Can’st thou not minister to a mind diseased?” The

reciprocal influence of mind and body is recognized in the Holy Scriptures. You will recall the instance of the fearful melancholy of Saul, the king, and how it was dissipated, and his mind restored to cheerfulness by the sweet tones of David’s harp. Christian biography, and the journals and letters of Christian people, fully maintaiu the proposition of this theme that our spiritual statesare often materially purely intellectual phases, or the sensibilities in their purely temporal concern may also similarly affect the mind and sensibilities with reference to moral ends and spiritual interests. Rev. Dr. Archibald Alexander was seriously disturbed by the east wind, during which he had seasons of great spiritual depression. He once remarked it was merciless in Satan to assail him when the wind was blowing from the east. Once being asked whether he enjoyed a full assurance of faith, “yes,” hereplied, “except when tho east wind blows.” Is it not evident that the cause of spiritual despondency must oftentimes be sought in the condition of the physical system, and its cure effected in part by the judicious treatment of bodily ailments? When a student in college, I posted on my door the motto “Health and Salvation,” but I did not then understand as now the close relation between the physical and the spiritual man. Many a man has thought the mercies of the Lord are clean gone forever, when it has only been the effects of bad cooking, of sour weather, of the use of narcotics, or the poisoning influence of some disease working in the system. Religion seats it elf in the feelings, for it has largely to do with hope, fear, joy, love, and the like, and the feelings are specially subject to physical influences by which they may be elevated or depressed like the mercury in the thermometer. A writer has even said “bodily affliction is often the cause of a total change in the moral nature.” It is certain that people are sometimes strangely under a sort of hallucination, in which things do not appear in their true light, and during which the person will seriously err in judgment, and be misled into questionable conduct It will not suffice to take it for granted that all these states are consequent upon our neglect of Christian duty, or want of Christian fidelity. We shall thus blame the soul for what belongs to the body and charge Satan witii wfiat belongs to disease. It is one of the distressing features of these cases that the sufferer is often not sensible of the real source of his trouble. There may be an apparent spiritual elevation that is really the result of the physical condition. It is well known that while diseases of the stomach, kidneys or liver may unduly depress those of the heart or lungs may unduly elevate the spirits. So that neither is the physical depression of the one to be attributed to the sinfulness of the heart, or the buoyancy of the other to the influences of the holy Comforter. The imperative duty of seeking the real cause of our spiritual condition is apparent, for on the one hand we must not be deceived into a false hope, nor on the other robbed of that hope and comfort which rightly belongs to us. A man has no right to chide his want of faith when it is merely want of digestion. He has no ground for writing bitter things against himself when the real cause is no more one involving moral accountability than does the toothache. He has no right to mourn dullness of spirit; want of access in prayer, and lack of religious feeling when the cause lies outside of the spiritual nature. Having reason to place the cause of your despondency in bodily ailments, allow some suggestions. Seek the aid of a skillful and pious physician. I say pious, for such will best understand your case. Do not take to the Lord what belongs to the doctor. Give yourself all needed rest. Let there be sufficient sleep, seek pure air and be in all things temperate. Let the apartments of your dwelling be well lighted and well ventilated. Use proper discrimination in selecting wholesome food and using it in moderate quantities. Such are some of the advices for the body. For the mind I would say; avoid all gloomy tendencies. If you have death-bed scenes hanging on the walls, take them down. If you have been accustomed to read books tending to morbidness of mind or treating of your bodily ailments, lay them aside. If in your tender memories of your dead you have fallen into a morbid grief which makes their relics objects of well-nigh adoration and sends you with too frequent brooding over sorrow to the resting places of loved ones, remember that even this may only feed the dull, destroying spirit of melancholy and engender spiritual bondage. Avoid solitude, avoid idleness; keep well occupied both in mind and body. Do not make tne mistake of shunning society, but seek it. It may be painful, and cost you a struggle, but hold on to society Let the royal power of your iron will be called into exercise. Brace up against despondency; set hard against these tendencies your enlightened judgment of your case. The thing you most need to do is to keep your thoughts as much as possible from yourself. With David, seek the help that comes from God. Think of the “years of the right hand of the Most High," the “works of the Lord,” and remember his “wonders of old.” Lay hold upon the assurance offered in the gospel, and which God gives by his spirit bearing witness with onr own. The great company John saw in his vision came up not out of much joy and ecstacy, but out of much tribulation, and when the Savior left the earth he did not say to his disciples, “My joy I leave with you,” but “my peace." We must learn as Christians to rigidly discriminate between frames of mind and settled life principles. The great Mississippi pours its waters toward every part of the heavens. Holding a compass in my hand one day as I was going down it in a steamer I found it actually running with full torrent toward the north as if it would flow back upon its very source. Yet who does not know that onward' with a power not to be stayed, the Mississippi rushes to the sea? What if the rocks shall seem to swerve us for a time; what if the stormtrials of life shall seem to deflect our course; if the strong current of our being is toward the bosom of the infinite, is not that to be our refuge in the darkest hour?
