Mary Buchanan, white, aeed fifty years, was taken out of her building after the shock on Tuesday night and died from exposure and the shook. To day Lizzie Grant died of heart disease, brought on by fright and exposure. Adeline Blainey is at the point of death; she is a colored woman, aged about sixty years, and broke her ’eg while trying to escape from her building iu Tuesday night. Considerable feeling was aroused in the city to day by the statement of Prof. Simon Newcomb that & tidal wave might be looked for, or was within the probabilities. Scientists say that there cannot be a tidal wave in consequence, or as an accompaniment of the recent earthquake. Professors McGee and Mendenhall are confident that the earthquakes are substantially over, although there may be occasional tremblings or detonations. One of their reasons for saying this is that all the spouting wells which have been formed In the neighborhood of Charleston by the earthquake ceased to flow yesterday, which fact is taken as proof that the abnormal stress and pressure which induced the spouting has passed away, and that the normal condition has been resumed. The opinions placed upon the ability, energy and sagacity of Mayor Courtenay were never better exemplified than in the outspoken satisfaction with which all classes look forward to his return to-morrow. It is now hoped that the steeple of St. Philips’s Church can be saved, but the portico of the church must be pulled down. The damage to the Confederate Home is much greater than was at first supposed. The four assemblies of Knights of Labor, at a meeting to-night, fixed a scale of prices which provides for an increase of fifty cents a day, and no more. This action was called for by the inclination of many members to charge exorbitant prices for labor, owing to the great demand for it on account of the earthquake, This will make the wages as follows: Bricklayers, first class. $3.50; second class, $3: carpenters, first class, $3; second, $2.50 and $3; tinners, $2.50 and $3; laborers, $1.50 and $2. RELIEF MEASURES. Contributions of Money and Necessaries of Life Coming from All Quarters. New York, Sept 6.—The subscription to date at the New York Cotton Exchange has reached a total of $6,355 for Chavleston sufferers. The president of the Chamber of Commerce, in response to a resolution passed by that body today, telegraphed to Governor Hill, asking that tents belonging to the State might be sent to Charleston for the relief of the sufferers there. The Governor's secretary replied as follows: ‘•The Governor regrets his inability to comply with your request The military code absolutely forbids the loaning of the military property of the State for any purpose outside of the National Guard.” The Stock Exchange committee has received over $6,000 for the Charleston relief fund. They propose to send $5,000 to Charleston and SI,OOO to Summerville to-morrow. The Produce Exchange committee has raised $3,500 for the Charleston sufferers. The Petroleum Exchange to-day collected about $250. The New York Cotton Exchange suggests that, as the camp-meetings in this State and the State of New Jersey are at an end, the tents they have been using should be sent to Charleston to shelter the homeless peoDle there. The wealthy citizens are also appealed to for the gifts of their lawn tents for the same purpose. Dispatches from all directions announce that subscripi ns for the relief of the sufferers at Charleston are pouring in at a rate unexpected aud almost unprecedented. No doubt the amount of funds contributed will be amply sufficient for every want. Nkw York, Sept. 6. —An adjourned meeting of Grand Army posts was held in the City Hall, Brooklyn, to hear Mayor Whitney’s reply to the proposal to raise one hundred volunteers to preserve order in Charleston. Rev. DeWitt Tal mage opened the meeting with prayer. It was Stated that the Mayor had declined the proposal. General Molineaux said he had asked Governor Hill to send tents to Charleston, and thought the naval authorities at Washington should be requested to do the same. Dr. Talmage said that with one thump of the telegraph 3.000 armed men could be sent to the desolate city, but what the people there most needed was sustenance and shelter. He thought Brooklyn should contribute at least $25,000. A resolution was adopted recommending that the G. A. R. posts appoint a committee of five to raise money for the sufferers. Fifty volunteers signed the roll. St. Louis, Mo., Sept 6.—Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the New York World, has telegraphed Mayor Courtenay, of Charleston, S. C., to draw unon him for SI,OOO, the money to be used in behalf of the earthquake sufferers. Mayor D. R. Francis, of this city, to-day telegraphed SI,OOO to the Mayor of Charleston for the aid of the sufferers by the earthquake in that city. Boston, Sept 6.—The supreme director of the Knights of Honor of the United States has notified all lodges that their brethren in Charleston are in distress, and need the good offices of the hr; iherhood. He calls upon them to appropriate of lodge funds such sums as their benevolence dictates, and send the same at once to the joint order of J. L. Moses aud J. S. Buist, Charleston, S. C. Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 6.—At a meeting of the Memphis Cotton and Memphis Merchants’ Exchanges, held to-day, SSOO was subscribed for relief of the sufferers at Charleston, and committees appointed to make a thorough canvass of the city tor additional subscriptions. Baltimore, Sept. 6.—Mayor Hodges this afternoon sent a dispatch to the Mayor of Charleston, requesting the latter to draw for $5,000. Donations of money and necessaries of life are coming in freely, and a good result is expected. Philadelphia, Sept. 6.—At a meeting of the citizens’ relief committee to-day. the committee was authorized to draw $5,000 from the treasury for the relief of the Charleston sufferers.

Arkansas Appears To lie Democratic. BLittle Rook. Ark., Sept. 6.—The returns from the State and county elections to-day are meagre, but are sufficient to show the election of the Democratic State ticket by a large majority, the third-party movement, or labor ticket, setting a very small vote. The Legislature will e Democratic by about the usual majority. There has been a very exciting contest in this /Pulaski) county for county officers. No official returns have been made, but indications point to the eleotion of the Democratic ticket by several hundred majortv. The Democratic State ticket has been elected by an estimated majority of 20,000, and the Democrats have also elected a majority of members of the Legislature. The Republicans claim Jefferson, Deshaw, Chicot. Phillips and Lafayette counties, while the Wheelers have elected several legislative candidates. The President and His Party. Lake Placid. N. Y., Sept 6. —After an earlv breakfast here, this morning, the President and party drove forty miles through some of the grandest sceuery of the Adirondacks, including Wilmington Notch and the west and east branches of the Au Sable river, Keene valley, and across to near Adirondack Lodge. It had been planned to spend the night at the lodee, but this arrangement was changed, and they re turned here soon after dark The lodge is only a few miles from here, the route traversed during the day being nearly circular. Testing the Legality of Pools. Kansas City. Sept. 6.—A suit wse filed in the Circuit Court here, to day, in the name of the State, for the dissolution of the Southwestern railway pool. The suit which is backed by the board of transportatior, of this city, is brought against the railroads individually, under the State law which forbids pooling by competing Hues. This is the first attempt to break up the pool, and it will be vigorously prosecuted. Obituary. Mobile. Ala., Sept 6.—Thomas Fowler, major general of the State militia, died this morning. He was & lieutenant-colonel of a Mississippi regiment during the war. “H* ia well paid who is well satisfied,” and the suavest and blandest man to be met these days is the whilom rhenmatie who has tried Salvation Oil.

INDIANA POLITICS. Bynum Bitterly Denounced by Democratic Organa and His Defeat Certain. Shelbyvllle Letter in Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The Democracy of the Seventh congressional district are not in a happy state of "mind. The renomination of W. D. Bynum, last evening, was wholly unexpected and unlooked for by the majority of that pnrty, and his success has about completely taken their breath. The men who opposed him compose the class of workers who rally the “doubtful voters,” catch the “floaters,” attend to the “wires,” and see that every man “votes her straight” The figbt made by Mr. Bynum was against that class of workers, and as they are not in the habit of eating crow or devouring their own words, Mr. Bynum had better arrange to reremain at home and save the expense of a campaign. In this county the party workers will simply let him alone. They will not fight him, neither will they support him. The same is true in other counties of the district The attitude of the party with Mr. Bynum can be drawn from the newspapers in the district and in order to show how well he is liked a few opinions are quoted: The Indianapolis Sentinel, the Democratic organ for the State, on Aug. 25 paid Mr. Bynum the following compliment: “Mr. Bynum deserves to be thrown out of the party. He has forfeited the respect of every Democrat who believes the party has some other mission than backing Mr. Bynum's selfish, reckless and destructive ambition. Upon what meat has this our Caesar fed that he has grown ao almighty? The Sentinel has been very patient with Mr. Bynum, Put forbearance has ceased to be a virtue. Is Mr. Bynum a child? Upon what principle can he excuse his abominable conduct?” This, coming from the “State organ,” is rather strong language, especially so as the first assertion made is an attempt to read Mr. Bynum out of the party. But the language of the Sentinel is but as words of a baby compared with the Daily Democrat, of this place, of the same date, Aug. 25. The Democrat said: “Mr. Bynum has now lost all the claims he ever had on the Democracy. He has shown himself to be a bull-headed egotist, a booby., a blubberer, a ‘battledore and shuttlecock.’ His career has been one of blunders and political disaster, “However brilliant he may be, and strong he may have been as a Congressman and a Repre sentative from the capital district of the State, he has now forfeited all his honor, dignitjnana Democracy, and merited the contempt of all decent Democrats in and out of the State.” The Indianapolis People, edited by Enos B. Reed, a Democratic State official, he holding the office of Fish Commissioner, was the next Democratic paper to reach out after Mr. Bynum’s scalp. This is the choice manner in which Mr. Seed lifted Mr. Bynum's hair: “If Bynum cared for his party he would incontinently withdraw from the race for Congress and let it put up some good man whose election would be assured. Bynum can never again be returned to Congress from this district. ‘The day of his destiny’s over.’ “He maligned Indiana’s favorite son. No friend of the late Thomas A. Hendricks can ever support William D. Bynum. Bynum denies that he ever did this. But confirmation stroug as proof of holy writ can be produced that he did. Some of his now warmest supporters have related this evidence against him. It is all folly for Mr. Bynum to threaten those who are not for him.” Without the solid support of the Democracy of this county, Mr. Bynum cannot be elected, and on this point a Democrat’s word will be taken with more weight than a Republican’s, so the Daily Democrat is quoted again, the date being Aug. 31. It said: “The fellows who are expecting offices and favors at the hands of Bynum may as well abandon all such hopes. “He will never be elected to Congress again from this district. “If nominated he cannot be elected, and Senator Voorhees will control all the patronage of the district. “Paste this in vonr hats.” It is evident, too, that the Democrat is “onto” some of Bynum’s past crookedness, for on the same day it worked off the following: “Several years ago Bynum tried to defeat his father for treasurer in Daviess county.” The Commercial Gazette correspondent at Washington. Ind., can look this matter up. On Sept. 2 the Democrat again outlined the situation in this terse declaration: “Bynum is a thing of the past. “His nomination would disrupt the party. “He would be placed on the defensive from the start “The campaign would wind up with his defeat” On the day before the last convention the Democrat fired its last volley at Bynum in these paragraphs: “There are over two hundred Democrats in Shelby villa who will not vote for Bynum if he is nominated. “He would be beaten by over three thousand in the district.” But the “stupendous piece of folly” has been committed, and, on the very best Democratic authority, this district will elect a Republican Congressman. The Republicans are glad to hear the Democracy make so candid a confession, for it is their intention to defeat Mr. Bynum by the majority named by the Daily Democrat. The wails that have gone up to-day were the most pathetic ever heard. The brethren feel the great hopelessness of their case, and are ready to run up the white flag at any time. Republicans are jubilant all along the line.

Democratic Dissension in the Tenth District. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Logansport, Sept. 6. —A1l is not lovely and harmonious among the Democrats of the Tenth Congressional District. A big row is now in progress, or rather a series of rows, that promise to result in an open rupture all along the line. For twamonths prior to the convention at Delphi, Hon. Thomas J. Wood, of Lake, and Major McFadin, of Cass, spent their time and money working for the nomination. It is said Major McFadin’s campaign cost him $2,500, and Wood’s very little less. The result was they were both betrayed by their friends, and Dr. Hattery, an obscure, one-horse doctor from Logansport. nominated. It now turns out that a week prior to the Delphi convention a prominent Democrat from this county went over the district and fixed the convention with the county politicians. He persuaded them that neither McFadin nor Wood could be elected if nominated, and impressed them with the idea that in order to insure the election of a Democratic Senator and Representative for Cass county, a breach that had been made here by the senatorial nomination, by which Dr. Hattery had been thrown out, would have to be brideed over by his nomination for Congress. It was arranged that, in order to satisfy McFadin and Wood, they should be given complimentary votes in three ballots. The scheme worked to perfection. Hatterv was nominated, and now McFadin and "Wood and their friends are whetting their scalping-knives and tightening up their belts. McFadin openly avows that he was slaughtered by men who have pensioned off him for a quarter of a century, and that he proposes to take a hand from this on. Wood is out in a card in the Lake County Star denouncing the convention. Kopelke, the man who led the revolt against Wood in Lake county, and who is chairman of the Democratic central committee, will be removed from the committee next Saturday, or at least an attempt will be made to this end. The Lake County Star and Fraricisville Times, Democratic) denounce the action of the convention in defeating Wood. The feeling of dissatisfaction is growing all along the line, and Democrats freely predict that Hon. W. D. Ov3n will carry the dis trict by 1,000 majority. At Logansport, on Saturday night, Governor Grav outdid ail previous exhibitions of demagogism, and on the streets his utterances were the topics of conversation. “If I were an elector and a Democratic United States Senator was to be elected, I would vote for the devil himself if he were on the ticket,” was the crowning sentiment of his speech, and a sentiment that was not applauded, and that leading Democrats openly denounce. Governor Gray also made an egregious blunder in speaking of Dr. Hattery. Democratic candidate for Congress, “whom I have long known to bean honest and honorable gentleman.” In

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1886.

speaking of him he called him “Dr. Battoras” time and time again. The insincerity and deception of the speaker could not have been more completely and openly exposed than by this blunder. There will be a Republican gain in the Tenth district Fourth Congressional District Committee. There will be a meeting of the Fourth congressional district committee at Lawrenceburg, on Thursday, Sept 9, at 10 o'clock A. M., for the purpose of selecting a Republican candidate for Congress in the place of Hon. A. D. Yanarsdal, declined, and for the transaction of other important business. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

Ryan was ueriouslv wounded and will probably die. Miss Emma Hubbard, aged sixteen, started on Sunday to lead her father’s horse to a brook on the farm, near Amityville, L. I. Later her lifeless body, terribly mangled, was found beside the brook. It is thought that the horse became vicious, tore her throat open with his teeth, and trampled upon her. At Redfield, Ark., yesterday afternoon, a quar rel between Dr. J. M. Reynolds and Deputy Sheriff Van Norman ended in the latter drawing a pistol and shooting Dr. Reynolds in the left shoulder, and also seriously wounding a bystander named George Smith.

The prisoners were terribly fngutened. There being a movement to secure the listing of some new issues of Georgia State bonds at the New York Stock Exchange, Henry Clews yesterday sent a letter to the chairman of the stock list committee, protesting against favorable action, because of the continued attitude of repudiation maintained by the State with regard to the 7 per cent, gold and gold quarterly bonds.

A telegram from Akron says Mrs. Smith has received a letter from her sister stating that she and Smith had sailed for Denmark.

Mrs. Belle Blake was killed at her home, near Glen Elder, Mitchell county, Kansas, Saturday afternoon. The circumstances attending beV death strongly indicate murder. Aaron Blake, the father-in-law of the woman, was the only person at the house at the time of her death, and claims she was killed while attempting to mount a horse, she being thrown and dragged and tramped to death, but every indication from the surroundings goes to prove she was foully murdered. The father-in-law is held for the murder. The husband, A. C. Blake, and brother-in-law, B. A. Blake, are also in custody. Cut Off' from the Mormon Church. Salt Lake, Sept 6 —John Q.

Queer Provisions of the Statute—An Election May Be Had Every Two Years. Atlanta Letter. The general local-option act under which the vote in Atlanta was held, and which is now the law here, is a very strange affair. The bill provides for an election every two years if one-tenth of the qualified voters of the county petition the ordinary for an election. Those who favor the sale vote tickets reading, “For the sale.” Those who favor no sale vote tickets reading, “Against the sale.” If the dry ticket wins, no more licenses are to be issued until the people reverse their decision, which they may do at the expiration of two years. The law provides that no person within the limits of the dry county shall “sell or barter for valuable consideration, either directly or indirectly, or give away to induce trade at any place of business, or furnish at any other public place any alcoholic, spirituous, malt or intoxicating liquors or intoxicating bitters or other drinks, which, if drunk to excess, will produce intoxication.” The law allows the sale of domestic wines by the quart, but such wines cannot be druns on the premises where they are sold. Pure alcohol can be sold by druegists for medicinal, mechanical and art purposes, but no druggist or other person is allowed to sell whiskies, brandies, gin, rum, beer, porter or other intoxicants. In Atlanta it is pure alcohol, domestic wine or nothing. It has been generally agreed that the words “domestic wines” mean wine made in the United States, and several winerooms are now running, but are doing little or no business. The penalty for violating the prohibition law is not more than six months iu the county jail, not more than one year in the county chain-gang, not more than SI,OOO fine, one or all, iu the discretion of the court. Since the law went into effect several arrests have been made, and the defendants, on conviction, were fined SSOO each, but all have appealed their cases. Several wholesale licenses have not expired yet, but the last expires by November. There have been no successful evasions of the law so far. All the “authorities" are strong Prohibitionists, and the way of the transgressor is hard accordingly. Consequently no one feels like running any risk. It may be set down as a certain fact that the law will be rigidly enforced in Atlanta. Attempts may be made to violate it, but the venturesome spirits who do so will come to grief. Geronimo. Washington Special. * “I am not officially informed of the reported trouble between our troops and the Mexicans, growing out of the arrest or capture of Geronimo,” said acting Secretary of War Drum, to-day. “The department knows nothing ot it whatever other than has been printed in the newspapers. If Geronimo had been captured at all, I certainly think the American troops would have managed to get him in their possession, and once in the custody of the army there would be no fear of his getting away as easily as it is alleged he did.” The War. Department, however, is very sensitive about the conteuts of the various dispatches received from General Miles. An old array officer said to the correspondent that he believed the press dispatches contained far more truth than the department was willing to give out. “It is true,” he continued, “that the army in Arizona and the Mexicos have become the laughing stock of the country, and especially among army men. Geronimo could have been captured and held long ago had any kind of judgment been exercised by Generals Crook and Miles. It is the opinion with some of us army people that the body of Geronimo is not wanted nearly so badly as is represented. Tney know where he is. and all they have to do is to go and get him. They may lose a few men in doing it, but what does that amount to when the government wants the baud of robbers? Geronimo has not over a hundred followers, and, with any kind of management, and the number of United States troops in that section of the country he and his band should be captured in less than two days.”

The Boston Brinvilliers. New York Commercial Advert ser. Many of the newspapers speak of Mrs. Robinson, of Somerville, Mass., as a Borgia. The great poisoners of that family were Rodrigo (Pope Alexander VI) and his son, Cesare; his daughter, Lucrezia, having been recently re habilitated. Mrs. Robinson might with propriety be called a Brinvilliers. That notorious French woman married a marquis, and was an artist in her peculiar line. She learned about poisoning from her lover. Gaudin de Sainte Croix, who had been instructed while iu the Bastile. by an Italian, Exili. She initiated her husband into the secret; he prepared the poison, and she experimented with it upon hospital patients and her guests. She made eight unsuccessful attempts on her father before killing him, murdered her two brothers, and would have murdered her husband but for a timely antidote. Her lover lost his life while preparing the poison. It has never been known how many persons she put out of the way, because the government withheld the particulars of her confession. The Marquise was a romantic creature, compared with Mrs. Robinson; for she was beautiful, brilliant, charming, and died courageously. But the Yankee and the Parisian seem to have been equally wicked, to have bad no compassion, no sense of humanity. They both committed monstrous crimes for money. Lesson of August Fire Losses. Rough Notes. The past has been a month of frequent and heavy tires, resulting in an aggregate loss of $9,697,300 in the United States, as reported by the Associated Press dispatches, counting all losses reported in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois,

and losses of SIO,OOO and upward elsewhere, or over $3,000,000 in excess of August losses in 1885. If the losses from sm ller fires and those caused by the timber fires in Wisconsin and Michigan are added, the aggregate would be increased to over $12,000,000, or nearly double the loss for the same month last year. In July the lightning was reported as qfcriking all around. During Aueust lightning losses have been unprecedented. In Indiana there were thirtyseven of this class of losses, amounting to $76,750; in Ohio eleven, with $60,800 losses; elsewhere three, with $62,500 losses—aggregating $200,000. incendiary fires reported have resulted in $779,450 losses, a fearful commentary upon the destructive power of a most dangerous class o? criminals, who usuallv escape punishment. Indiana furnished fifteen incendiary fires, witli $54,950 losses; Ohio twelve, with $240,000 losses; Illinois three, with $13,000 losses; elsewhere ten, with $471,500 losses. Hancock and tbe Little Rebel. Baltimore American. Mayor Hodges states that he refused, while in Bar Harbor, to he introduced to Mr. James Blaine. This reminds us of a story of an exconfederate general.now a resident of Baltimore. This confederate general had been captured by Major-general Hancock. Under guard he was led no to Hancock’s tent With the instincts of a true gentleman, General Hancock stepped from bis tent and extended his right hand to the confederate prisoner. “No, sir,” said the confederate, “under these circumstances I decline to shake hands with you.” Hancock, who towered about three feet above his prisoner, looked at him a moment then quietly said: “Under any other circumstances I should not offer you my hand.” Reconstructed by an Earthquake. Charleston News and Courier. This is one of the great and most important lessons of the earthquake, and one that will not be lost nor forgotten. As the land beneath our feet is one. this people is one people. The shock of war broke the bonds that so lone united us together, the shock of the mighty forces of nature hag served to show to ourselves how stronely, how firmly and, best best of all, how kindly the bonds of the olden time have once more knit together. Never again, let us hope and pray, will they be severed by any cause of force or folly, in the year a to come. Politics In Maine. Washington Critic. The Maine Democrats are working their campaign on tbe N. Dow-ment plan. That Much Is Certain* Washington Critic. Envoy Sedgwick isn’t a Prohibitionist, anyhow.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Sixty Years Ago. so the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal! An account book of 1826, or sixty years ago, shows up some of the prices of our ancestors, and gives us food for thought in comparing with the prices of to-day. The location was Rochester, N. and the accounts were of a general business character. As ladies should always come first, I will begin on ther goods: Calico, 31 cents per yard; ginghams, 40 cents; flannels, 50 cents; dress silks were from $1 to $3 per yard: ladies’ shoes, $1.50 per pair; men’s boots, from $3 to $5 per pair; ladies’ bonnets, were then seldom changed in style or fashion and prices ranged from $1 to $S each. Elias Howe, the inventor of sewing machines, was then unheard of, and tailors received for making coats from 75 cents to $3 each. Pants and vests were each got up in the then prevailing style for from 25 to 50 cents each. The hero of these accounts was then a bachelor some thirty years of age, and several entries show where 50 cents per dozen was the price paid for laundry work. Old folks will remember “dickies,” a sort of a false shirt front, which are in several places charged at 40 cents each. Os building material brick are quoted at $6 per M, clear pine lumber at $lO per M, nails 12 cents per pound, giass, Bxlo light, 15 cents; lime per bushel, 15 cents. Hauling with team per day, $1.75. Laborers' wages were 60 to 70 cents' per day. Stone-masons, bricklayers and carpenters are in several places iu the book credited with work at $1.50 per day. Board was for workingmen 9 cents per meal, or $1.75 per week. Smoked hams were 7 cents per pound, fresh beef 4 cents, fresh pork, 3£ cents; mutton, by the quarter, 22 cents: butter, 15 cents; eggs, 12J cents per dozen; potatoes, 25 cents per bushel; coffee, 20 cents; tea. Young Hyson, $1.40 per lb.; rice, 6 cents; sugar, 7 cents; molasses, 40 cents per gallon; maple molasses and sugar were quoted at about same prices; salt, 70 cents per bushel; “locofoco" matches, 25 cents per box. for about ns many as are now sold for 3 cents, and very few appeared to be sold, as tinder and steel were relied on for fire. Why the matches were called “locofoco” I have never understood; but presume some of our old grandsires could tell. Coal for fuel was not then used, and four-foot cord-wood is in several places charged for at $1 per cord. Cooking-stoves were then just coming in use of the “Horseblock” pattern, and cost $lB each. Corn was 65 cents per bushel. Flour fluctuated from $4 to $lO per barrel, but the average was nearest the former price. Tobacco sold at 40 cents per pound, and cigars appear to have been unknown, at least none are charged. Whisky— not our modern tanglefoot, but good—was 35 cents per gallon. Santa Cruz. Jamaica, Porto Rico, and various kinds of rum was from 50 cents to $1 per gallon. “Black-strap,” a favorite old-time ’/everage, commanded $1 per gallon, and was the favorite tipple for “general training day,” as the day for genera! muster of the State militia was called, and which in those days was a roaring farce. Amongst the items of thespringof 1827 isoue as follows: “Rev. Wm. Patterson, Cr.: By service at wedding, $5,” and about the same time Mr. P. is charged “One hat, $5," from which it is presumed these were the ruling prices for those necessaries of life. Money was of gold, silver and paper, as to-day, but was very scarce, and “barter or trade” was mostly used in traffic. Only the larger cities and towns had their own newspapers, and news was stale. Postage on letters was 12£, 182. or 25 cents per letter, according to the distance carried, and stamps were unknown for near twenty years after. At the option of the sender postage on letters could be prepaid or not, and right here one of the most highly-esteemed old ladies of this county one day received notice of a letter with “25 cents due” that was held in the postoffice for her. Not having the money she herself killed and skinned a calf, selling the hide to a tanner for 25 cents to redeem the letter. There were a very few canals, but stages were plenty for travelers, and all these carried the United States mail. Hotels were then called inns or taverns, and with the stores were the favorite lounging places of the village gossips. Montezuma, lnd. a.

The Koontz Cadets. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: In answer to the very impertinent inquiry in ihe News, last evenine, under the heading oli “Shepherd Guards,” I wish to say that the Koontz Cadets know how to take care of the money that we get by subscription, and that none of it will fall into the hands of the “Shepherds." If the Shepherd Guards cannot pay the S4OO indebtedness hanging over the company, why does not Mr. Shepherd pay its He is their bondsman. We wish to say to the Governor and the Quartermaster-general that wc do not intend to join the Indiana Legion, but we will remain as we are—independent. If any citizen or subscriber wishes to attend any of our meetings he is free to do so. We have fifty names of leading business men in this city on our list, and all of them will vouch for us. A Member of the K. C.’s Where Is This True in the West? Charleston (S. O.) News. We are not yet as bad off as they are in the West, but no one can walk in the streets of Charleston, or visit the cities and villages of tbe interior of the State without feeling that neglected children and youth, especially among the colored people, are increasing in numbers, and that some remedy should he devised for so flagrant an evil.
