honld eo to the Caoltol. ' I have always blieved that General Grant narrowly mwed hioe assanlted. or perhaps asaefinatfd, on that d y, as the crank was in a white-heat rage when I fired him out of th White House." The detecttre described how the late Secretary Of State Frelinetauysen was frrarpid by a German, who wished t be made a special envoy to Eoglaod and Canada, for the purpose of working a secret scheme to overthrow the English government, raise the stars and stripes over St. James's Castle, and declare England, Ireland, Scotland, Canada and the other provinces to be

additions to the republic of the Lmted estates. When Mr. Frelingbuysen ordered the fellow out the latier seized bim by the Japel of the coat and woold have assaulted bim but for the pres ence of a door-keeper and messenger, who bustied the fellow out. Kolbsays that a crank called on Secretary Lamar last week and demanded 1,000,000 acres of land in the West to establish a new "Land of Canaan." where the followers of the "unborn Jamb" could worship in peace, away from the rices of civilization. He termed himself the aieh priest of the new order. Secretary Lamar Informed him that the red roan was still a feav Ore of the wild West, and that the followers of ihe unborn lamb roicbt find the sralpine knife cliehilv more unpleasant than the vices of tivilization. ' CLETEIAND'S LETTER. His Indorsement of Colonel Fellows Written In Good Faith and Willingly. Washington Special. There is the highest Kind of authority for saying that the editorial statement in the New York Evevening Post that ''the President recalled bis letter on bearing' what kind of a candidate Fel lows was, and if its publication bad been de tared a, few hours loncer it would never have seen the light," is an unmitigated false hood. The President neither recalled the letter or desired to nrevent its publication. On the jontrary, he telegraphed to Mr. Cooper his will jag consent that the letter should be made pub lic, and he stood fast or the sentiments therein ittered to the end of the camoa'gn. He stands ?r that letter yet, Q everv lino and syllable, e congratulated Colonel Fellows most heartily, nd Colonel Fellows visited Washington a few ys ago to thank the President in person for us loyal support. The mugwump intellect has been so badly ihattered by the defeat of Delancy Nieoll that it tppears to be unable to understand how the President came to write two letters in support f the late campaign. The facts are simply ; fiese: Mr. Cleveland had been informed by Mr. Edward Cooper and other leading Democrats that ) was being clashed in an unwarranted manner y the New York World and the mugwumps as in opponent of Colonel Fellows. The President at once wrote to Mr. Cooper the now famous Fellows letter. On the same day he wrote another letter to Mr. George H. Forster, regreting bis inability to attend the Tammany ratification meeting, in which he expressed an earnt wish for the snccess of the entire local ticket. Before the Tammany letter was made public Mr. Cooper telegraphed to the President, asking permission to eive the letter he (Mr. Cooper) had received to the press. Mr. Cleveland at once gave his consent to the publication. The nezt morning the letter to Tammany Hall appeared in the newspapers. Mr. Cooper kept his letter from the President until the following niuht in order to first read it at a meeting of the Young Men's Independent Club. It was then given to the press. The suegestton was made to Mr. Cooper by some of his friends, after the Tammany letter was published, that perhaps it was not necessary to make public Mr. Cleveland's letter to him also, but the President never asked for nor desired its suppression. He resisted tremendous mugwump pressure all through the campaign, and remained steadfast to the end. PRACTICAL POLITICS. The Administration Will Go to Work at Once with tbe Post office Department as a Case. Washington Special. "There is going to be a good deal of practical politics daring tbe rest of this administration," jaid a very well-known member of one of the souses of Congress, who has been busy all summer with some special committee work, to ''The Lounger on the Avenue" yesterday. "I don't know, of course, whether the President has fully decided to make a swap around in his Cabinet that will put Mr. Vilas into the Interior Department and give the Postoffice Department to a practical politician or not, but I shouldn't be surprised if he did somethinc of the sort. Of course the Postoffice Department is the place where the best political work ean be done. Nearly one-half the offices under the government are under that department. Its agents are as every country store nu cross-ronus. x ney ean reach every man and woman who writes and gets letters or reads newspaoers every day. The political possibilities of the place (utilized by a really first-class man in sympathy with the administration playing the game for all it is worth), are practically limitless. It is no in justice to Mr. viiaa to say mat ne couia never make the place what it might be made in the party's aid. Practical politics are needed just . sow. and the President, I suspect, is about inMitrating some into the patty's corporosity. If salt I hear of Mr. Dickinson be true, he is far the ablest, most capable, and thoroughly practical politician that could possibly be selected for a place like tbe Postoffice Department. I am ere that, if be doesn't get this place, be will be vited to take a position where bis peculiar ability ean be at tbe service of the Democratic partv during the coming canvass." "Why have you any reason to think that?" "1 can't say any more," was the answer. "But this I know. Tbe President has at last realized that while bis immediate advisers are all well enough in their respective places, there is not a -jingle shrewd, popular, practical politician in ihe entire lot. Whitney comes nearest to it, but he is sick. I say the President has found this out, and proposes to remedy it. I know of what I speak. That's why I said at the beginning of our talc that there was going to be a good deal of practical politics during the rest of this administration. See how this will be demonstrated by tbe appointments this winter. It is aone too soon." Indiana Pensions. Washington Special.

Cole, of Rushville, was to-day admitted to practice be fore the Interior Department. nounces that he intends to remain here till bis contest of Captain White's seat in the House is disposed of. This is not likely to be till February or March. Not even a Democratic member baa been found by the Journal correspondent who believes White ean be deprived of his seat. It is stated that Lowry's only hope lies in partisan action, and the fact that he deems it important that another vote should be taken from the Republicans in tbe House, so as to "cover" the emergency which may arise in presidential election, should it go to that body next year. On next Thursday, Dec. 1, the Commissioner of Patenta will hear argument of counsel upon tbe petition of EUsha Gray for permission to amend his original application for patent to an electric telephone, filed Oct. 29, 1877, by inserting there f n the words metallic" so as to make ihe claim specifically for a metallic diaphragm.

ANARCHISTS GROWING BOLD

The Chicago Disturbers Issue a Circular in Which "Fight" Is Advocated. The Arbeiter Zeitung Also Begjns to Bristle witli Sanguinary Suggestions Continuation of tbe Trial of Johann Most. Chicago, Nov. 2& The following extracts from an article in the Sunday issue of the Arbeiter Zeitung are interesting at tbe present juncture as there has been some question if a celebration such as tbe Central Labor Union and a number of singing and turning societies intend to have, Dec. 10, would lead to any trouble. Referring to the attempt to prevent any speaking at such a meeting the paper says: "The committee that has rented BatteryfD Hall for the grand celebration in December is compelled to fiebt tbia insidious mob, which, in tbe free consciousness of its guilt, dare not approach its honest opponents openly, but only tries to obstruct their way by trickery. It is said that such things can happen, but it is elevating that on Friday evening tbe delegate of the nine turning societies declared as one man: 'It is our duty as Turners to protect freedom of speech as thirty years ago our brothers of the Cincinnati Turngemeinde considered it their sacred duty to protect the noble Wendell Phillips with their bodies against a mob that had a majority but was governed by stupidity and villainy. As they were ready to give up biood and life for the constitntion and the liberty of speech guaranteed bv it; thus we will stand fast and true when John Glay steps on the platform and speaks to the working people of tbe past, present and future." Those were true Turners that spoke in that strain, and we entertain the firm hope that those Turners, also, who are in a minority in tbe so-called conservative societies, will be sound on this question; that tbey will also know where their place is, if anybody, whoever it may be, should make a frivolous, treasonable attempt an attempt deserving of death to ootrsge tbe rights of the people. But it will not come to this." The article goes on to say that the Citizens' Association will not let it come to this for lack of courage, and that that organization would not, so soon after the 11th day of November "Provoke a riot, the termination of which would, be, at least, doubtful." The Anarchists ot this city have prepared a rabid circular for distribution among the work ingmen here. It is headed with the single word, "Fight." Tbe circular denounces the Anarchists' trial and execution, and declares nothing but force win win. It urges "preparation" for the "revolution." "Whoever joins us," says tbe circular, "must take all consequences udoo himself, and must be ready to sacrifice everything for the cause, even should it be bis life." Paul Wolf is in the same kind of a fix as Herr Most, and all for preaching tbe same doctrine and making threats. Wolf is a fine looking and highly educated German, about thirty-five years old. He speaks four languages, and is emnloyed by a map publishing company On Friday night, when perfectly sober, he went to a saloon at Twenty-fifth and Hanover streets, where he preached anarchy and foretold the violent death of States-attorney GrinneU, Judge Gary and all the jurors in the Anarchist trial. Tbe utterances reached the police, and to-night Wolf was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and making threats. The Trial of Herr Most. New York, Nov. 28. The trial of Johann Most, tbe Anarchist, was resumed to-day. The court-room was thronged, and many women were present, but there was a noticeable diminution in the glare of red ribbons and flowers displayed. Frederick Hartingen, the first witness called, testified: that he went into the saloon, in the rear of which Most was making his speech, and, attracted by curiosity, went into the meeting held there. He said Most did not use the violent language charged against him. He had never seen Most before, and was not an Anarchist but might become one. ' Hermann Strelitz, a reporter formerly on the Leader, and now on the Volks Zeitnng, testified that he beard Moat's speech, and that he becac with "Fellow-citizens." not "Brother Anarch ists.Jf as was alleged. He said Most threat ened no immediate revenge, but accused GrinneU and Gary as tbe murderers of the Chicago Ansrchistis. He also accused Powdorly and George of their murder for turning the Knights of Labor from the Anarchists. The witness said Most sooke in a sorrowful tone; every word 'came from bis heart and went to the heart." Tbe witness said be was a Socialist, and that be did not believe Mod bothered about such trifling things as perjury. Gustavo Stephen and Siegfried Rosenweig testified that tbey heard Must's speech, and that it did not contain the incendiary language alleged. The latter said he did not know whether he is an Anarcbist or not, and did not exactly know what Anarchy is, although he has been studying the subject for eight years. He testified that Dreyfns, the reporter who testified against Most, left the meeting a quarter of an hour before it ended. Jndge Cowing said he would hold a night session, but lawyer Howe told him he intended to call only one more witness, Most himself, and trie court adjourned to the usual hour tomorrow. At the afternoon session Judge Cowing announced that he bad received a threatening letter. It was one that he should disregard. The letter read: If you cbar.ee against Herr Most you will die. Death for all officers is their due. ' Liberty. Another letter, unsigned, and containing no threat, reminded the jndge that Sharp should go to Sing Sing before Most is again imorisoned. Meeting of Anarchist Sympathizers. New York, Nov. 28. Cooper Union waB crowded to-night with people who sympathized with the families of the executed Chicago Anarchists. The meeting was called by the German Trades Federation (not the American Federation of Trades-unions). Red ribbons and red feathers were worn by most of the women present, and red ties and hat-bands by the men. There was a red and black flag over the stage, and portraits of the dead Anarchists were draped with black. Many police were present, but found no work to do. Editor Schevitch was the principal speaker. He declared that the real foreign class in this country the class foreign to the interests of tbe paoDle were tbe Goulds, Vanderbilts and Sages. The foreign-born were not necessarily foreigners to free institutions, but the capitalist class referred to were. The cry of the rich for law and order was a cry for protection to their ill-gotten gains. The hanging at Chicago was meant to intimidate those who dared to think of political reform. If the red flag, steeped in the blood ot martyrs to liberty, was dangerous to law and order, it was because law and order no lfn?r represented liberty. The speaker advised all lovers of liberty to be as fiery in their language as they pleased, and to defy the spies of tbe capitalistic press. His own remarks were not immoderate, however. Resolutions were adopted pledging financial support to the widows and orphans of the executed men. TOLTJ PARTIES. Social Amusement in a Not Very Intellectual Town. Pittsburg Dispatch. 'Tola parties are going to be a Very popular source of amusement among tbe younger portion of swell society this winter," lisped the pretty brown-eyed girl who holds sway at the chewinggum counter of a down-town confectionery, yesterday afternoon. "You don't know what tolu parties are! Well, that's funny. But you know what tolu is? Tolu is the fashionable name for chewing gum. And of all tbe nonsensical things in this worid I thins: a tolu party is the worst. Sit down there and I'll tell you what it is." Carefully taking ber own chunk of tain from her pretty mouth, and laying it on a shelf under tbe counter where she could get it again, she perched herself saucily on the edge of tbe counter and began: "A tola party is a gathering of the young people for the purpose of chewing tola. Yes it is, too. You needn't smile in that incredulous way. It's to chew tolu. and the one who chews the longest gets tbe prize, just the same as tbe one who wins at progressive euchre. "No. girls don't always win, either. I was at one out in the East End last winter. It's the only one I ever was at, thank heaven. The winner was a boy. He chewed three hours and a . few minutes. Of course yon have to chew right along without stopping. Anybody who stops is out of the game. It does look funny, though, to see a whole room full of people working their jaws as though they were getting paid for it, and almost airaid to speak lest they make a break. There were only two or three tola parties in Pittsburg last winter. This season there will be lots of them. Only a couple of days ago I sold a lady a pound box of gum. She said her daughter did so like to chew it. But I know what it was for. She was going to give a tola

party. People know they are ridieulous, yon know, and tbey don't like to tell the whole worid when they have them." CUBEEXT LlTERATtJEE. Until within recent years the people of the United States have known comparatively little about tbe Central American States. -Latterly this knowl edge has received considerable accessions, and at present there is a general desire for more. A valuable contribution is the work entitled "Guatemala, the Land of the Quetzal," by William T. Brigham. Tbe author, made three separate trips to Guatemala, remaining there altogether about three years, traveling, taking notes and photographs and studying the country and its people. The record of his observations makes a very interesting book. He is enthusiastic in his praise of tbe climate and natural scenery of Guatemala, and found the quaint mode of life and tbe traces of ancient civilization an endless subject of profitable study. The book is copiously illustrated from photographs made by the author, and is in all respects a valuable addition to our knowledge of a country that possesses many interesting features.

In the first place, it is published anonymously, though more than clever enough to make one wish to know the name of the author. In the second place, it bears a close resemblance in meter and style to Owen Meredith's "Lucile," but the author states in a prefatory note that he, or she conceived the idea and meter of the work before "Lucile" was published, and, in fact, has never read that popular poem. "Geraldine" is a romance in verse, and both the romance and the verse are very good. , Tbe characters are well chosen, tbe plot interesting, and the versification exceedingly graceful and clever. Inasmuch as it is certainly no imitation of "Lucile.'Mt may be compared with it. and it does not suffer by the comparison. - "Geraldine" will have many readers and admirers.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

High License and Local Option. To tbe Editor of the IndianaDolis Journal: I am , an ultra prohibitionist, a stalwart Re publican and a wool-dyed Methodist, and work at all three. Well worked, they blend beautitifully. But, as a Methodist, I do not require all my co-workers in Republicanism and prohibition to all be Methodists, yet I do not want them to squarely antagonize my convictions or prejudices as a Methodist, and spit upon my creed. That is apt to cause a coolness, resulting in an alienation, it not in open antagonism. So. as a Republican I do not require my co-workers in Methodism and prohibition to all be Republicans; but if tbey hate Republicanism, and on all occasions denounce its central ideas, and use our .associated relation to overthrow or neutralize them, I work with them only at lone range, if I do not quit them entirely. So, also, as a prohibitionist, I do not ass every man who works with me as a Republican or Methodist to be a prohibitionist; but when a Methodist or Republican begins to belittle my convictions on prohibition and wishes to ignore them because he despises tbem, and especially if he squarely antagonizes them, we cannot walk together. I ean no more compromise my conviction on prohibition than I can on Methodism or Repuplicanism. In any case I may hold my extreme views in abeyance, just as I require others to, for the sake of harmonious action in a right direction; but stubborn antagonism is not promotive of harmony. This is a rather long and prosv introduction to what I want to say. but the reader may skip it if he wishes to. I want to beg Republican politicians to let up on tbe proposition to insert high license and local option into our platform. If tbe temperance men of Indiana of tbe world, for that" matter are agreed on any one thing it is to bate license in any shape or form, and the higher it is the more they despise it. They may be fools in so doing, but they have reached that opiuion after an experience and a process of reasoning which is satisfactory to tbem. It is not wise now for ns to ignore the fact, or to attempt to change their views. I do not know a man or woman in the State who has spent any considerable time or money in the temperance work in the last ten or twenty years who does not hate the whole license system. Now, why should we needlessly repel these! The little handful of Prohibitionists who run the Prohibition party do not constitute one-twentieth of the Prohibitionists of the State. Opposition to license, whether called tax or not, is incorporated into the Methodist Discipline, and every Methodist preacher in the State preaches it. Now, why should we Republicans set ourselves against this universal conviction of the whole temperance element of the State? We will not win back a single saloon-keeper or grog-drinker bv it; but we will drive off thousands of others. What then? We want neither prohibition, nor high license, nor local option in our platform. We want a simple declaration of hostility to the arrogance and domination of the liquor power, and we want candidates in sympathy with this declaration, whose lives and habits, no less than their words, will make the fight an aggressive one. We need not abate one jot of our opposition to that policy which has bankrupted the State Treasury, has turned our charitable and penal institutions into homes for broken-down party hacks and ward politicians; which has prostituted our courts into the protection of fraud at elections; nor need we close our eyes to the waving of the rebel flag in haughty defiance of patriotic sentiment. Tbe campaign of 1883 must be aggressive all along tbe line, and at no point more aggressive than at that , which marks the temperance question. The antislavery men of I860 did cot ask for abolition to be put into the platform on which they stood. They only asked for a declaration of hostility to the slave power, and asked for not a word againsi slavery itself, but demanded a representative of tbe idea in their standard bearer. They were willing to trust the details to the developments of the future. That is all that wise temperance men ask of ns, and we must grant this or somebody else will. The how is a matter to be determined as the work progresses. The suggestion of abolition in the platform of 1SC0 would have defeated the men who, in less than three years, abolished slavery with the universal approval of all who voted for Mr. Lincoln and many thousands more, while any namby-pamby proposition to compromise with it and 'Set it live high license for instance, would hate alieated aitrue aoti-plavery men, and defeat would have followed. Let us take an honest. bold, aggressive stand against that liquor power which has ns by the throat, and fight earnestly on that line, and where there is a will there will be a way. Measures no more dreamed of now than was war dreamed of in 18G0 may be necessary. If so, we will resort to them, and the people will sustain us, for the liquor power must not and shall not rule this country. It must not and shall not be licensed. U. L. See. Open Letter to Hon. Allen Zollars. Hon. Allen Zollars, Justice Supreme Court:' Dear Sir The Journal of the 16th reports you as saying, in yonr speech before the Baptist congress held in this city, that Henry George advocates the vesting of all title to tbe land of the country in the hands ot the government, and by it rented out in small parcels to the people. If this was tbe tenor of your remarks upon this point, I beg leave to inform you that you are in error grievously so. It is my impression that your misconception cf Mr. George's doctrine, (and it is the vital point wherein you err) was drawn from the following passage in "Progress and Poverty," rage 291: "We should satisfy justice, we should meet all economic requirements, by at one stroke abolishing all private titles, declaring all land public property, and letting it out to the highest bidders in lots to suit, under such conditions as would sacredly guard the private right to improvements." This, you will see, merely states what might be done with perfect justice, but further on he says: "But such a plan, though perfectly' feasible, does not seem to me the best. Or, rather, I propose to accomplish the same thing he should have said, the same results that would flow from such a course in a simpler, easier and quieter way than that of formally confiscating all the land and formally letting it out to the highest bidders." "To do that would involve a needless shock to present customs and habits of thought, which is to be avoided. "To do that would involve a needless extension of governmental machinery, which is to be avoided." Now follows the Henry George doctrine. There are not so many visions of ghostly revoutions in it as the people are led to believe, once its simplicity is fully comprehended.lt would injure no one but the land speculator, and he, like the slave-owner, is a detriment to society, and should be divested of his privilege of speculating in the necessities the prime necessities of humanity. Mr. George says: "I do not propose either to purchase or to confiscate private property in land? The first would be unjust; the second needless. Let the individuals who now bold it still retain, if they want to, possession of what they are pleased to rail their land. Let them continue to call it their land. Let them buy and sell, and bequeath and devise it. "Nor to take rent for public uses is it necessary that the State should bother with tbe letling of lands, and assume the chances of the favoritism, collusion and eorrnption that might involve. It is not necessary that any new machinery should be created. The machinery already exists. Instead of extending it, all we have to do is to simplify and reduce it. "We already take some rent in taxation. We nave only to make some changes in our modes of taxation to take it alL" Then Mr. George goes on to say that he would have the government appropriate rent (tbe unearned value created by the growth of a community) bv taxation. This value attaches more or less all over the country, according to lecation. and exists irrespective of improvements, and notwithstanding your assertion that such a system would be of no value to any one. I am eonstrained to believe that yon are mistaken and that the results named by Mr. George would follow, viz.: "Raise wages, increase tbe earnings of capital, extirpate pauperism, abolish poverty, give remunerative employment to whoever wishes it. afford free scope to human powers, lessen crime, elevate morals, and taste, and intelligence, purify government and carry civilization to yet nobler heights. I also believe that this simple system of taxation will be the fruition of that passage in the Scriptures where it says, in substance, 'The heavens and the glory thereof belong to tbe Lord, but the earth hath lie given to the children of men. "Also, that it will result in tbe realisation of the truthfulness of the ninth verse of the fifth chapter of Ecclesisstes, which says, 'Moreover the pre fit of the earth is for alL " Notwithstanding Hon. Mr. Dooiittle's assertion before tbe ministers that Mr. George's doctrine, to be put in force, would require constitutional amendments, both national and State, 1 stand ready to prove that such is not the ease, closely and unequivocally. Now, to close, if the Maitbusian doctrine is correct, and it seems to bave been the generally accepted theory, until

Mr. George so ably refuted it, I wonder why it wasn't incorporated in that work, that a tax npon babies might be effectual in checking the production of these midgets, nntil the stress npon subsistence could be relieved. A tax upon date-trees caused tbe trees to be destroyed, a like tax upon babies would cause their non-production. L. P. Custeb.

IxdiaxapoIjIS, Ind,, Nov. 23. A Street-Car Incident. To tbe Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: As car No. 32 pulled out from the transfer-car one evenin? Inst weak, a ladv pulled tbe bellcord, but the d rived paid no attention; finally. after repeated signals, a gentleman rang the bell several times in succession. This caused a disciple of Tom Johnson to stick bis head in the doorway, and in an insolent tone yell out, "Hey, what do yer want?" The lady stated that she wished the car stopped. These indignities are of .common occurence. and considering the total inadequacy of the present street-car system, both as a means of transportation and lark of decency and manners in emplovees, it is high time that Tom John son's mortgage on the city of Indiaanpolis was lifted. There has been ample opportunity to entertain propositions from syndicates in the matter of improving the street-car system of Indianapolis, but is it to be wondered that, when it becomes a matter of investigation, they find Tom Johnson "holding the fort." and (to all appearances) the City Council and citizens of Indianapolis back ing him? With the city's interests at heart witness tbe grand, worlc ot tne "tias trust' would it not be a good plan to pull together and offer Tom Johnson the sme inducements that were offered Sim Coyism in the recent city elec tion! Tom Johnson is granted privileges that would not be extended to ether parties. Why! Ask the City Council. Is there any otoer city of 100.000 that has as poor facilities for transporting people as here? Where are the conductors Tbe people act as conductors for Tom Johnson, and charge bim nothing for the labor, on the contrary they pay 5 ents every opportunity for the blessed privilege! If Indianapolis is going to boom, it is absolutely necesary that we bold out every inducement to people who come to view our re sources. How long will the present street car system help the city? b. l. j. An Ohio Soldier's View. To the Editor of the IndianaDolis Journal I am much interested in the idea of General Harrison, of your State, as a presidential candi date, and would like to see yon booming him in Indiana. I am for General Harrison for Presi dent and Gen. Joseph R Hawley for Vice-pres ident. With Harrison and Hawley we can win, I think I voice the sentiment of thousands of Ohio soldiers when I speak for Harrison. I am an old soldier, and 1 want a soldier at the head of our government. Ohio is good for 30,000 majority for Harrison. Let nothing be left undone by your State to secure his nomination. Harrison and Hawley will carry Indiana and Connecticut, and be elected without New York. But their chances are as good to carry New York as either Blaine's or Sherman's. Carey Pattox. Hill's Foek, Adams County, Ohio. A Voice from Kansas. To ti Editor of the IndianaDolis Journal: Kansas Republicans are beginning to realize that Blaine is not the only man big enough for the presidency, and a sentiment is growing rapidly in favor of a ticket composed of Generals Harrieon and Hawley. There is a difference of opinion as to whicb should occupy the first place. Of course Indianians are for Harrison first, but all will be satisfied with the ticket in whatever shape the convention may place it. All combinations suggested name one or the other of these distinguished gentlemen. Then why not pat both on the ticket and make success in Indiana and Connecticnt certain. It will not do to de pend on New York, and with Harrison and Hawley, or Hawley and Harrison, we can do without. WiLii T. Walker. Wellington, Kan., Nov. 25. The Record ol Seventy-Flve Years. I"o the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: ' Can any one be found that ean duplicate the following: I was born April 17, 1813, in Harri son county, Indiana; joined the Methodist Epis copal Church in tbe year 1S22 before I was ten years old; never used one cent's wofth ef tobacco; never took a dram of spiritons liquor; never swore a profane oath, to the best of my knowledge, yet I am a sinner saved by grace. Joseph Van Aesdel. . Thoentown, Ind., Nov. 25. Testimony from an Expert. Savannah Newi. It is said that an old confederate soldier living in Pulapki county wrote to General Beauregard and inclosed a dollar for a ticket in the Louisiana State lottery, and the writer took occasion to say to General Beauregard that he had followed the General four vears in the army and that he was poor, and wanted the General to select for him a ticket that would draw a prize in tbe lottery. According to the advertisement General Beauregard and General Early superintended the drawing of the Louisiana lottery every month, and tbe soldier thought that General Beauregard could select the right ticket for a prize. General Beauregard, it is said, answered the old soldier's letter and inclosed the ticket as requested for the dollar, but gave the following bit of advice: "My dear old comrade If you will stick to tbe Louisiana lottery yon will be as poor as you were at the close of the four years of cruel war, and you will not have enough left to load a pop-gun." Knew the lioston ZXero Best. Boston Transcript. In a Sunday-school at the Highlands, not long since, the teacher said to her class of boys: "Now, I want each of you to be prepared to tell me next Sunday what you know of Solomon. Just tell the story in your own language, and give me the best account of Solomon that yon can." The next Sunday arrived, and the class of boys came to the scratch, bright ana smiling. The teacher turned to one of the brightest of the lot. "Well. Andrew," 6he said, "whom did I tell you to give an account of this week?" "Sullivan!" exclaimed the boy. . v Queen Victoria's Weakness.

What a Time People formerly had, trying to swallow the old-fashioned pill with its film of magnesia vainly disguising its bitterness ; and what a contrast to Ayer'a Pills, that have been well called "medicated sugar-plums" the only fear being that patients may be tempted into taking too many at a dose. But the directions are plain and should bo strictly followed. J. T. Teller, M. IX, of Chittenango, K. Y.,"expresses exactly what hundreds have written at greater length. lie says: " Ayer's Cathartic Pills are highly appreciated. They are perfect in form and coating, and their effects are all that the most careful physician could desire. They have supplanted all the Pills formerly popular here, and I think it must be long before any other can be made that will at all compare with them. Those who buy your pills get full value for their money." "Safe, pleasant, and certain in their action," is the concise testimony of Dr. George E. "Walker, of Martinsville, Virginia.

ONLY THREE WEEKS MORE, And Dr. Barker, the Oculist and Aurist Leaves for His Home Office in Cincinnati, O.

t The visit of this celebrated specialist is fast drawing to a close. It has been marked by an unparalleled practice, in affections of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat, adjusting spectacles and inserting artificial Eyes. Not only have the afflicted of the city taken advantage of his unrivaled skill, but his success has attracted a large number from throughout the State, almost every county being represented among his patients. While his reputation has been made by the almost miraculous cures of the blind and deaf, he is equally as successful in the treatment of the afflictions of the NOSE AND THROAT. He says the exposed position of these organs makes them subject to a variety of disease which, if unattended or treated incompetently, are certain seedlings to lung affections which will ultimately kill, or at least shorten the golden hours of life; hence, too much importance cannot be attached to an early attention of any of their affections, no matter how trivial it may at first appear. Among the serious THROAT AFFECTIONS, may be mentioned Fungus Sore Throat, Syphiletic Sore Throat, Lyrangitis, Pharyngitis, Tonsilitis, Bronchitis, Tuberculosis, Ulcerous, Paralysis of the Vocal Organs. Elongation of the Uvula. Cleft Palate, Hyptrophy and Atrophy of the Tonsils, etc., etc.. all of which are too serious to admit of anything less than exact constitutional and local treatment. In the NOSE. may be found polypi, "a foot," a tumor which , occurs in the mucous membrane. It varies much in size, number and mode of adhesion. Fibrous polypi are of compact texture and do not degenerate into cancers The scirrhous are true cancerous tumors, painful and bleeding. They occur at all ages, but are more frequent in young adults. The growth manifests great tendencv to extend prolongations into the sinuses of the nose ana face; this is not only dangerous, but produces a great deformity. OZENA, is an ulcer in the nostril that gives off a feted smell. The putrid matter is composed of a myriad of parasites worms). If neglected or maltreated the entire nasal passage becomes eaten away, and the system becomes impregnated with their poison. CATARRH, which is so common in this changeable climate, receives as much or more attention than any other affection to which flesh is heir. The great stumbling block to a cure is false diagnosis. By some not informed, and those who have an infallable cure," every affliction of the nose and head are called catarrh. This is quite erroneous. While it is a disease of the mucous membrane, this membrane, anatomically considered is the same as the skin, and subject to a variety of diseases which are quite as troublesome as catarrh. Being hid in deep, remote recesses none but the skilled specialist, who is supplied with all modern appliances, can diagnose them with precision necessary to prescribe a line of treatment for each special case. Right here I wish to say I have no one box or bottle from whjjch I cure catarrh. My treatment is rational and exact, cons titutional as well as local, adapted to the conditions and complications present, the success of which is told by my patients, and their name is legion in this vicinity.
