FOUR GOOD PARAGRAPHS.

Eayinp and Ideas of People Whom the Re pcrters Found in a uossip7 aiood. "When California sends to the East delegates or represntatif e men to any kind of e conrention, Maociatlon or secret society, to anything political, social or religious, Ehe always sends good material. It Is not tcanso she has not anything elso out there, "but she mates good selections, as California is always to be advertised and always to put her best foot foremost There are two gentlemen here representing tho State in tho.Suprcmo Lodge, Knights of Honor. One of these "is John W. Roarke, who for twenty-ono years has been. connected vith the Bank of California at Ban Francisco, and the otheris C. M. Curry, gTand recorder of the order in California. These gentlemen are enthusiastic Californians, and allow no opportunity to descant upon tho clones of .the Golden State to escape. The discovery of gold in Lower California has not, these gentlemen say. created any great excitement, except, in the immediate neighborhood of the alleged great find. Minipg in their State has lost much of its romantio enthusiasm, and has settled down to a very prosaic business. There ia still considerable placer mining, the first and oldest kind in Calif onia, and there Is much prospecting. Placer mines are taking out a great deal of goldand as this class of digging requires no expensive machinery, so men work together as of old in small parties. Hydraulic mining, the turning of a great head of water against a mountain side, washing away tho soil and rocks, and filling un the rivers to the ruin of farmers, has been fitoppediby law, but that method added gold to the river sand and will afford gold washings for many years to come. There are different ways of looking at thintyi. There's the old story of the shield "by the wayside which brought about a combat between two wandering knights, who, approaching it from' opposito directions, each saw but one side. One maintained the shield was silver, and the other maintained it to be gold. The argument waxing warm, they both became angry, and, drawing apart, each set lance in rest, and, putting spurs to hia steed, rode full tilt at his adversary. As both rolled from their saddles and lav wounded, writhing in pain, they discovered that each was half right, and half wrong, for the shield had two aide 3, one of which was gold and the other silver. Tho other night a gentleman, who for years has been a stanch and steady looker at one side of a moral question, took a look at the other side. lie has always been a member of an orthodox church, and has never been" accused of too great liberality in his views on amusements, lie stood the other evening and saw the throng of people that came out of the dime museum, and a light broke in upon him. "Why," said he, "it was all made clear to me. j'eopio must nave amusement and recreation, and the same thing will not do for everyone. In that case, the best thing is to see to it that tho amusements that are least harmful are provided. The people who come out of tho dime museum are not those who will find delight in purely intellectual food. They wantsomething for the eye and the mind. Cheap theatricals till the measure of this need. I saw coming out of that placo many young and middleand pleasant in their lives. Their eyes had a new fire in the in. They were rested and refreshed, and the hard-working men who attended the play, which, I understand, was clean and wholesome, were mado the better for it. I have come to believe that even the theater is an instrument for good, and. while there are some performances that may not be exactly as good as they should be, it should bo borne in mind thatno play meets with popular success unless it accedes in its plot to the conventional demaud by punishing vice and rewarding virtue," A pair of well-worn crutches, such as would be used by an eight-year-old child, were lying on the Market-street sidewalk at Talbott's Block, at the head of a flight of stairs leading down into the basement. It was dusk, and down the stairway and at the foot in the basement quite dark. A man stopped, looked at tho crutches, wondered what it meant, and walked on. He didn't go far, but returned and took another look at the little crutches.' Others stopped and looked at them, then peered over the railing down the dark stairway. The discovery was made that the top step had been broken and was removed from the stairway. This left a sheer fall from the sidewalk to the bottom of the area of a dozen feet. The crowd became larger. Men lighted matches and held them over the stairway, peering down below. Ladies Joined the throng ana spoke in hushed whispers. If any one of the dozen or more men who were standing there had been certain that a man mortally hurt or dead lay at the foot of that stairway, not one would have hesitated to go down. But a child; ah, that was a different thing, and everybody waited for some one else to move. Then those leaning on the railing were pushed aside and a bright child's face full of street wisdom crowded in. "Wot's the matterP chirruped this youngster. "Oh. them crutches! Them's mine, bat I don't want 'em. Got a new pair. Hero's y'r daily papers," and away he went clippity-clipt bis crutches, like merry castanets, keeping time to his own bright and sunny temper. Alexander Heron, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, is doing what he can to encourage the organization of farmers' institutes throughout the State. 'I am not much of a friend of tho Orange on aci . i n l a - T count oi us secrecy," saiu no xo a journal reporter the other day, "but I think there should be more farmers' clubs and insti-' tates organized. I regard the cultivation of sociability as the most important consideration of farm life. The ostracism connected with country life is its most objectionable feature, and the prime cause of so many young men seeking the city whn they should remain on the farm. Nothing will do so much toward making farm-life pleasant as the organization of cluts, institutes and granges. Kvery township should have its tanners' club to meet at regular intervals at the homes of its members. The young people should form literary clubs, and in a few years we would have almost as manv attractions in the country as in tho city' "Don't you think there is less sociability 'among farmers now than formerly!" r That is just the reason I have been advocating tho cultivation of sociability through farmers clubs. I arm lite at present is vastly different from what it was forty years ago. We would naturally think there would be more sociability now. Ira5 roved machinery has relieved us from the rndgeTy, and there is more tirao for sociability. But from my observation there is lees of it. Where aro the singin g schools, corn-huskings, apple pannes and quilting bees of the times way back. If they aro still in existence they are not heard Irom. I am in favor of reviving them in the shapo of fanners' clubs, old and young taking part.1 . Will Accept the Bonds. The directors of the German Savings Bank, of New York city, met yesterday to determine whether or not the Indiana loan bonds should be accepted, and late in the afternoon State Treasurer Lezncke received a telegram from the bank, reading: "Will now accept $700,000. 3 per rent., as bid for." Mr. Lemcke has been conndent all along that the bank would finally accept tho bonds, and he was thcrtfore not surprised at the new the telegram Drought. On account of the semi-annual settlemenu with the counties now belnr made he cannot leave tla office, and Stale Auditor Carr has condemn to go to New Sort for him to close the transactions. Mr. Carr will leave to-morrow, sua return with the money the latter part of too liiscusslng the Tariff The literary society of the Bethel A.M.E. Church (colored) wiU, on Monday evening, discuss the question, -shall the Tariff be Beducedr I A. Pimpson and James T. V. II1U will favor reduetlou. while W. AUion Sweeney and O. Iknox will contend for the retention of tho present rate. Report of the Health Board. Ei:s hut Monday the City Board of Health tl retired reverts cf thirty-four deaths and n j3tlrtt3fj tivtej occurred irlthta to

city limits. During the same time reports of fifty-four cases of contagious diseases were tiled, of which forty-six were measles, nve scarlatina and three diphtheria. This makes a total of 173 cases of measles now In the city. Only two deaths occurred yesterday, one Irom measles and one from blood-poUoning. THE PLEASURES OP HIDING.'. Scene3to Cham Equestrians, and That Ought to Hake Horseback Exercise Popular. For several years, in this city, horseback riding by ladies and gentlemen has fallen into disuse, but indications aro that this summer will show a notable revival of this sensible and health-giving exercise. For the past four or five years horses of pacing action have been growing in favor all over the country, the demand increasing year

after year. The two or three generations following tho pioneer women of Indiana have little idea of the excelling equestrians their grandmothers and great-grandmothers were. This excellence was brought about by necessity, for in those early days the roads were not good and easygoing vehicles were few. But the custom of riding is returning, not as a necessity, but for the pleasure and health there is in it. Indianapolis equestrians, as a rule, caracole along the block pavements of Meridian and Delaware streets, or, perchance, take an amble 8 long Park avenue and Broadway, or through Woodruff Place. Some of these young people grumble that this city and vicinity has no pleasing landscapes or nretty roadways. This is a mistake. Dr. Fletcher, Ferd Christman and wife and others could tell such persons that there are many picturesque haunts to be found by the true lover of horseback exercise. Indianapolis is in a basin: but a distance of three miles from the Circle will bring one to a lovely hill country, with pretty farms, shady woodlands and quiet streams. The roads, too. are mostly "dirt roads;" better for horses' feet and the comfort of the riders, when not too dusty, than are to be found in New England. East and southeast of the city are wide stretches of grassy common that would inspire an English fox-chaser with a desire for a run. If a person thoroughly enjoys riding he or she will have to go at a moderate pace. To be sure a scud over a broad, bare common is admissible now and then, out it should be followed by slow meandering beneath low swinging branches under the dark buckeyes and maples and the tall sycamores, those white-armed daughters of the forest. Swing along at ease, and tire neither yourself nor your hors. A ten or twelve-mile saonter is about the thing for a May morning or a summer moon-lit night. Starting np Broadway or Park avenue, one can go to Ninth street, and then turn to the east past the Atlas engine-works, rounding up on Hillside avenue. Chis will bring the rider to pleasant roads leading' north, or he or she can go east toward Brightwood through the beautiful woods of Oak hilL There can be found a halfdozen country roads going north from Brightwood, any one of which presents a diversity of scenery, rich in its own peculiar features. It does not matter which one tho rider takes; to the lover of the beau tiful each and every one is full of charm. The pleasure may come largoly, too, from not knowing exactly where one is coming out. But those northern roads will bring the pleasure-seeker np back of the Howland farms, or to Tanglewood, Millersville, Stumptown, and many other pretty neighborhoods. If he turns south just short of Brightwood, he will find a like variety in a jog along toward Irvington. Tho Brookville road south is likewise worthy of being a favorite; or an amble past the Churchman and Kitzinger farms, clear over to the Three-notch, the Southport and the Bluff roads will furnish pleasure. A trio over the Michigan bridge, out through Haughville, keeping due west for three or four miles, will bring one to Little Eagle and Big Eagle creeks and up to a table-land, from which he can get a tine view of the surrounding country. A good ride may be found along the banks of White river, where the woodsdestroying Hoosier has left a hem of elms, willows and sycamores, and where in the low grounds may be seen the paw-paw and the dog-wood. A pretty ride may be had by ' exploring the paths along Big Eagle creek south of the Hospital for tho Insane. This region is reached by going over tho Kentuckyavenue bridge, or through West Indianapolis by tho car-works or stockyards. Much of the pleasure of a horseback ride comes from the same source that tho explorer in a new land experiences. Therefore one should leave all publio highways whenever he can and tako the new and beautiful by-roads. Let him follow the paths through the woods and along the streams, tho paths made by tho woodchopper and the fisherman. If he can have a good companion, one who admires and thinks and does not talk too much, the pleasure will be the greater, unless the equestrians be lovers, in which case, of course, no heed will be taken of this injunction!. There must bo a little spirit of adventure and an endeavor to avoid toll-gates by going round or running them, for there is no romance that will stand tho rude touch of the grasping, sordid gravel road toll-collector. Above all, remember to go for healthful, pleasing exercise and mental profit, Grid not for the purpose of showing o a riding habit or a horse. TROUBLE OVER THEIR DOM)S. Township Assessor Quill and Ills Chief Deputy Required to Give New Sureties. The bonds of Township Assessor Thomas P. Quill and his chief deputy, Charles Tyler, as originally signed, were canceled yesterday by some of the bondsmen withdrawing. Mr. Quill's bond was fixed at $5,000, with Phil Keichwein and Jacob Boss as sureties, and Tyler's, for the same amount, was secured by Mr. Quill and J. S. Coffin an. Early yesterday morning Mr. Boss went to Sheriff King and claimed that when he agreed to sign Mr. Quill's bond the latter promised to have five other men sign. This, Boss said, the principal had failed to do, and he did not care to be held responsible for the whole amount. Although Mr. Keichwein did not inform the sheriff of a like intention, he intimated as much to his friends, and insisted that unless Mr. Quill strengthened his bond ho would withdraw. Practically the same state of affairs was in storo for Tyler. On Friday a suit was brought against Mr. Quill by the First National Bank to recover $500 judgment on a note long since due, and on account of this the sheriff refused Tyler's bond without additional security. Benjamin Aldridge. who had signed the document early in the morning, withdrew his siguature, and both Quill and Tyler were re-arrested. At 3:30 o'clock the former had Morris Quill, his brother, as bondsman for $tiOO, Street Commissioner Derk De Buiter for $400, and Lee Fulmer for fci,000. This left $2,000 yet to be secured on the bond, and it was not until after 4 o'clock that it was covered, Benjamin Aldridgo finally consenting to underwrite for that amount. Mr. Tyler's bond was finally accepted with Thomas Quill, David Pepper, J. S. Coffman and Benj. Aldrich as sureties. m Ileal tate and lluildlng.

STANTON TURNER'S CRUTCHES.

They Have Been Useful to Several Unfortunate Men and Are Still Good for Service. Stanton Turner, supply fireman at the No. 7s engine-house, is the owner of a pair of crutches over which hangs a history that is as interesting as it is varied in its nature. "Ihave been in the lire department," he said recently, in relating his story, "for twenty-five years, and in that time I have done about every kind of work. For a while I drove an engine, then a hosecart, and finally I was put on tho chiefs wagon. It was there that I was hurt. We hart an alarm of lire one night about 9 o'clock, as nearly as I remember it, and the chief and I started. I- was driving np Indiana gait, and in our avenuo at a lively work, you know, that means a full gallop, as I was turning the corner of North and Woods streets, I saw a few feet in front of us a large rock, probably eighteen inches in diameter and almost round. I knew I conld not stop my horse, nor tnrn short enough to avoid striking the bowlder, sol just shouted to the chief to keep his eyes open and tightened my hold on the lines. When the front wheels struck the rock, our wagon was thrown over on its side wheels, and. for about forty feet, we were jerked along in that position, when, finally, over we went. The chief was thrown over ray head and escaped injnry, and if I had released my grip on the lines probably I would have come out all right, too, , but I did not. I wanted to stop the horse if I could, and I did, by turning him into a fence. But while I was doing it my right leg was caught in the wheels and wound around the spokes like paper. It was broken in two places and mashed almost to a jelly. "Well, I was taken up to the Surgical Institute, and there my limb was amputated. I was laid up for nearly a year, but I was able to get around somo. While I was lying in bed there at this institute Tom Pease, who was the engineer at tno No. 2's house, came to 6eo me, and said that if 1 would consent he would like to make me a pair of crutches. Tom was a special friend of mine and would do anything for me, so I told him to go ahead and make them. Ho went to the Sarven Wheel Works and procured some seasoned hickory, and in a short time brought me the crutches. They were made just to fit me, if trutches may ever be said to fit, and I used them for ten or eleven months. When I was able to lay them aside, I said to myself that I hoped no one would ever have to use them again. "Hut 1 did not have my wish jrratirled. That was in 1877 when I was hurt, and since that time I do not think those crutches have been idle two months at a time. I can not begin to remember all the poople who have used them. Only the other clay I was talking to my wife about my accident and we began counting up the men who have had my crutches since, and we had a long list of them. I had not laid them aside for only a short time when Delbrook. engineer at the Fours, broke his lee and was compelled to go on the crutches lor six months or more. He has had them twice since I have known him. Then some man from Illinois, I forget his name, who was nn intimate friend of some of the boys on the North Side, had a hip broken. Along about that time a good many of the firemen were hurt at various times, and my crutches were always in use. Then carno James Davis, who was assistant chief at headquarters. He fell oil" a truck, you remember, and the wheels passed over his hip. John Huegle, when ho broke his leg, had them, and then Charlie Clark, who is now night turnkey at the station-house. The last man to get them was Tom Quill, and he is using them to-dav. Who will have them next is more than lean tell. The crutches are always here when not in use." Close of the Art Exhibit. The art exhibit, under the auspices of the Art Association, which has been held at Masonio nail during the past three weeks, closed last night. There was only a small attendance. The Gentlemen's Club decided, and bought "A Calm Oft Flushing, Holland." The collection has been in charge of Miss I. R. Edgar, of New York, and has been most satisfactory as a collection of oil paintings and water-colors. The talks of Miss Kdcar, twice each week, and the musio and recitations which have also been given have been the means of securing a better attendance at those times than any other. When a collection is on view for three or four weeks, many believe tfcey will attend, but anytime to often proves to he no time. The local artists' works have been most highly complimented, and they have ranked equally with many and better than some. Financially, there Is not much ou the credit side, but artistically it has been most excellent. The pictures will be removed on Monday and Tuesday and returned to theirowners. A few of ' Mr. T. C. Steele's friends in the Art Association hare decided to buy one of his paintings. Upon being told of the proposed purchase, Mr. Steele generously offered to substitute a much more valuacle work than the one his friends had in view, and cave "The Oaks of Vernon," classed among this artist's best pieces. The purchasers have accepted the offer, and will add to the association's collection this nne painting. Abolish the Cow-Pastures. Now that the sanitary officers have undertaken to get rid of the hog-pens the next step, says one of the new-comers to the city, should be to abolish the cow-pasture. One of the greatest nuisances about the city is tho fencing of every vacant lot and making a cow-pasture of it. In some lots there are as many as four cows, and when the grass Is short the lots become like a country barn-yard. One Word To you personally.
