The consumption of beer and whisky is rapidly increasing in India. A man in Augusta, Me., in paying a bill, deducted 2 cents for the stamp on the letter in which he sent his remittance. The emigration to Canada has fallen off largely this season. The whole number thus far is 9,603, against 14,733 last year. The pension list is a long one, but few people probably are aware tbat there are 31,302 pensioners who draw only 2 a mouth. The authorities in Holland have decreed that women cannot serve on a school board. In Sweden it has been decided that they can. A Milwaukee man has designed an apparatus by which he claims that water may be successively burned in a cook-stove or ordinary heater. A cabbage stalk twenty feet high was on exhibition at the Florida sub-tropical exposition. It is the tallest one ever seen in the United States. The Colombian government, to encourage immigrants, is said to pay their fare, give them G a month. 250 acres of land, a cow, two pigs and a plough. Dr. Agnew says that a healthy woman can killhersolf in about a year by horseback riding, and all other physicians would probably agree with him if they didn't want patients. II. T. Huff, while cutting down a bee tree on his farm, five miles from Atlanta, discovered in the hollow trunk eight army muskets and two bayonets. Soldiers stored them there twenty-nve years ago. M. Adolphe d'Assier has made a special study of the great climatic cycle. He says that the next ice period will reach its greatest height in the year 11750. It is a little early yet to begin laying in coal. Four locomotives, to be run by soda, xvhich takes the place of fire under the boiler, have been built in Philadelphia. They are for servico on the streets of Minneapolis, where steam engines are forbidden. Ben Davis, of Elk Rapids, Mich., savs MiKe Gay buried some maple syrup in the spring of 1879, and has just dug it up to find it is fresh and sweet as ever. Ben didn't know where the stuff was buried, which is onoTeason it kept so welL A couple who had been divorced forty years before in California met on a railroad train out in Arkansas the other day. They recognized one another, and, after a short talk, concluded to remarry, and the ceremony was performed that evening on reaching Eureka Springs. The largest cat's-eye in the world arrived in London lately. Its present weight, cut, is 170 carats, and it is insured for 00,000 rupees. It is wonderfully beautiful, the gem giving out a wide, warm beam of opalescent light. CatVcycs of the first class are now as valuable as diamonds in this market. Hero is an item from the Choctaw (Ala.) Herald: Wo are requested to say to the men of this place that on the tap of the bell at the church on Saturday evenings before the second and fourth Sundays in each month, they are solicited to attend and assist the young ladies in cleaning the lamps and church for services the next day. The quality of roof slates, says a German trade journal, may be easily tested by care, fully weighing samples, then putting them for a quarter ot an hour into boiling water that is fairly free from lime, saltpeter and ammonia; on reweighing the slates those tbat show the greatest increase in weight are the most capable of resisting deterioration. Mr. Segee. of Brunswick, Ga., went to fish recently with a big net for drum; instead, however, he caught a mammoth sword fish fourteen feet long. The work of capture was no small job, as a sword fish fourteen feet long, two feet thick and three feet and two inches across the Hips was no minnow to handle. Mr. S. had to worry him a long time before he cot a chance to strike him in the head with bis oar. After this was done his head was out off to save

his sword and his body was sent adrift His sword was a formidable weapon, measuring three feet and one inch long. It is reported from the City of Mexico that the remains of a large city, hidden in the depths of the forest, have been discovered near the ruins of Palanque, in the State of Chiapas. Some buildings are five stories high and in a good state of preservation. There is a well-paved road several miles in length. The intelligence is said to como from good sources. Undoubtedly the largest bass ever caugbt in the Hudson river was taken near Peekskill on Monday last. It weighed seventy pounds. New ork market men heard of the big catch and telegraphed to get it, but the fisherman wouldn't send it to New York to be exhibited on a fish stand. More money was obtained for it by cutting the bass into stakes and selling it in Peekskill. It was over five feet long. John Lamphere, of Gilboa, Schoharie county. New York, is the owner of a chicken that has four fully developed legs. The rapid manner in which the fowl scratches earth, it is alleged, astonishes the other hens so that they hide their heads in their feathers and forget to lay eggs. When on

roost the quartet of leet take up no more

thanian ordinary chicken's feet do. curiosity can run twice as fast as its panions, and its legs do not interfere

one another. What are known by the name of iron bricks have been satisfactorily introduced as paving material in some parts of Germany. These bricks are made by mixing equal parts of finely ground red. . argillaceous slate and finely ground clay, with the addition of 5 per cent, of iron ore. The ingredients thus mixed together are then moistened with a solution of 25 per cent, of sulphate of iron, to which fine ore is added, until the mass shows a consistency of 88 degrees, Baume. After this the compound is shaped in a press, dried, dipped once or more in a nearly concentrated solution of finely ground iron-ore and then baked in an oven for about forty-eight hours in a reducing fiame.

TILE DELAWARE WAY.

Method by Which Republicans Are Deprived of Their Political Privileges. Philadelphia Inquirer. Delaware Democrats have become desperate. Last year a Republican Mayor was elected in Wilmington as a result of the disgust at Democratic municipal mismanagement. The Democrats became laarmed. Last fall a Republican Legislature was elected and the first Republican Senator from the State was sent to Washington. The Democrats were panic-stricken. The Legislature passed a bill giving Wilmington biennial elections, and providing for an entire new City Council to bo elected in June, to serve two years. It was obvious that on a full and fair vote the city would go Republican and the Democrats would lose the control of the city. This was simply out of the question. What then! Prevent a fair election. Howt Disfranchise the Republicans. This was easy. No man can vote without a tax receipt. The tax collectors have refused to receive any taxes from Republicans on the ground that they have not received the assessment lists, which have for weeks lain in the court house. In the meantime arty Democrat who desires can get a receipt by applying to certain persons. It is estimated that several thousand Republicans will be prevented from voting, and the Democrats will easily carry the city. Such a flagrant violation of the right of suffrage is disgraceful to the State and an outrage upon the electors. The Republican party will soon be in control of the entire State. The frantic efforts of the Democracy to retain control show that the change is imperative. Jatt Sudden Enough. Tnu Siftlnjft. Fond Lover (after a long-delayed proposal Perhaps I've been too sudden, darling. Darling Girl (regaining her composure with a mighty ellort) Yes, George, it is very, very sudden, but -and here the became faint again) it is not too sudden.

CLUB AVERAGES

Percentages of the Home Players Give Them Standing Among the Leaders,

Next to Brouthers Come Daily, Buckley and Denny in Batting The Club Also Leads in Base-Running and Sacrifice-Hitting.

Tho accompanying tables, showing the batting and fielding averages of the players of the National League clubs, as well as the general club averages, contain a number of surprises. There will be very few of the friends of the Indianapolis club who will not be astonished to learn that the Hoosiers lead the League in batting, in base-running and in sacrifice hitting, and are second only to one other club the Pittsburgs in fielding. Such, however, is the case. The club batting average shows Indianapolis to be first with .2S5, and Chicago a close second with .254. In fielding, Pittsburg leads with .952, and Indianapolis comes next with .939. Big Dan Brouthers, of the Bostons, leads the batting with .4S3, and Indianapolis has the next three Daily, .419; Buckley, .412, and Denny, .402. Glasscock is thirteenth, with .357; Seery twenty-fourth, with .811; Sullivan thirty-first, with .273, and Bassett sixtieth, with .147. Daily leads the catchers, Glasscock is second among the short-stops, Hines is second among the center-fielders, Myers first and Seery third of the left-fielders, McGeachy. fourth of right-fielders, Denny fourth at third base, Schoeneck and Bassett last in their respective positions. Buckley is fourth and Myers ninth among the catchers. With the exception of Schoeneck and Bassett, it will be seen that the Hoosiers individual players stand well to the front, and as a club lead in three important essentials, viz.: batting, base-running and sacrifice-hitting, while but one club leads them by a narrow margin in fielding. Why is it, then, that in the face of this splendid record, the club is next to the Washingtons in tne race for tail-end honors? A glance at the pitchers' records tells the story. Out of twenty-three pitchers whose averages are given, Getzein stands twenty-first and Whitney last in the list. Boyle is ninth, where he is tied with Hutchinson and Healy, and Burdick stands Clarkson off in seventh place. The same list also reveals the secret of Cleveland's unexpected success. Of her three principal pitchers, O'Brien heads the list, Beatin is fourth and Bakely fifth, every one of them leading such veterans as Clarkson, Boyle. Welch and Galvin. Manifestly, the Hoosiers find their weakness just where their greatest strength was looked for in the box. The table shows that Buck Ewing is the highest New York man. and that Clements leads for Philadelphia: Maul for Pittsburg, Strieker for Cleveland. Shock for Washington and Pfeffer for Chicago. Morrill leads the first basemen, Dan Richardson the second basemen, Nash the third basemen, Smith the short-stops, Fogarty tho -center-fielders and Ganzel the right-fielders. No record is given for less than five games, except for pitchers and catchers, where three games constitute a record. . BATTING.

SOLD HIS WIPE FOB 025. i The Curious Compact Which PMladelphlan 3IadeHappy AH Around. Philadelphia Record. Wives are sold very cheap in Brooklyn. On Friday last Ludwipf Munch, of Philadelphia, went to Brooklyn and released all claims upon his spouse for $25. His wife in turn permits her hushand hereafter to seek other marital connections. The couple, it is said, live in the northern part of this city, and the husband has been employ ed as a weaver at a factory near Twenty-third and Hamilton streets. Several years ago Mr. and Mrs. Munch lived in Brooklyn, and went there last Friday to accomplish their separation. It appears that shortly after Munch and his wife moved to this city a pretty sister of the latter came to visit them. 8he was so attractive that Munch, a man of thirty years of age, found himself smitten with her charms. Mrs. Munch's pretty sister returned his love. Then the husband discovered, at tho time when he almost contemplated serious trouble, that his wife was admired by a certain man who lives in Camden, N. J. Strangely enough, Mrs. Munch became enamored of the Jersey gentleman. Tho exact state of affairs leaked out, however, and Munch was oifered $25 by his wife's lover to release all claims upon her. This at first seemed too small compensation to the mercenary husband, but he finally agreed to accept it. After the agreement had been made the parties concerned thought it best to keep the matter as quiet as possible. In order to make the transaction binding Mr. and Mrs. Munch went to Brooklyn last Friday to get the release papers drawn up. They appeared at Justice Goetting's court, in that city. Their remarkable story was told to Lawyer Koesch, who consented to draw up the agreement. The document was then signed by the husband and wife after which a notary was sought before whom they were shown. It is said that Mr. Munch thinks that marriage is no failure under such circumstances, and that the same thought also dwells within the lady who was once his wife.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. " Washington, May lS.Thijf morning tho people who were passing about the Department of Justice saw a tall, well-formed and strikingly handsome young man in th building take the elevator and ask to bo shown to Attorner-gencral Miller's roon. His heavy brown hair hung in ringlets upon a broad expanse of forehead, and baclr over a pair of large ears. He was tastefully dressed, and on the lapel of his coat wore the emblem of the Beta Theta Pi Society. His dark-blue eyes were set with heavy lashes, and they flashed intelligence at every turn. This young man is an appli cant for the position of United States marshal in Mississippi, and connected with him and his family is a Etory, whiclf, if writtea in detail, would rival the raciest tragedy ever put between yellow covers. Headers of political annals will remember when the returns were flashed over the wires from the election in Mississippi, in. the fall of 1SS3, a startling tragedy was related from Haielhurst. Among the most intelligent and courageous of the Kepnbli can leaders in the llazel&urst section of Mississippi was Print Matthews. He was a man of education, culture, and had the courage of his convictions. He was progressive, and believed in all the essen-. tial elements of the Republican party, m against , the methods of the Democratio party, which had made the South solid, and which terrorized white men as well as black men at tho polls. Matthews, a short time before the election, was given warning by the Democratio bulldozers The leading men of the county," that if he attempted to vote on election day it would cost him his life. On the morning of election one of his friends went to him and begged of him not to cast his vote on that day, saying that it would cost him his life, as it was prearranged and had been planned, for many weeks that he (Matthews should be made an example of. 'But I am an American citizen," said Matthews, calmly, "and having the right of franchise intend to exercise it. If there must be an example made of some one I presume I am no better than other citizens, and may as well bite the dust as any man." Print Matthews impressed his friend with, the fact that he did not intend to be a braggadocio, but that he had the patriotism, good citzenship and courage to establish the rights of American citizens in any part of the country, even at the cost of his life. An hour or two afterward Matthew advanced to the polls. A friend handed him a straight Republican ticket, folded bo as to not disclose its character. Matthews opened it, however, and. holding it by the end, handed it to one of the jndges, who took tho ballot in such a way that everyone who stood near could read it. At that instant a Democratio inspector at a distance of eighteen feet leveled a doublebarrelled shot-gun at him and tired. Ovep forty buck-shot entered Matthews' body. It almost cut him in twain. The brutality of the bulldozers did not end here. The lifeless body was permitted to lie in the room where it fell, but the door was locked. Instantly the news of the tragedy was hurled throughout Hazelhurst, and when it reached thehomof Matthews, an invalid daughter, who had been confined to her bed for some time, started out to see the result of tho report of the gunshot. She said she knew by intuition that it was her fat her who was killed. She vraa refused admittance to the room where tho body of Matthews was confined, but a relative burst the door open and admitted her. The murderer marched around town all day with his shotgun and defied interference. As a reward he vras elected Mayor of the city. The young man described above as applying for tho position of United States marshal is the sou of Print Matthews; and, although a young man, he has a history which will Lear favorable comparison with that of his father. Clarkson and the Soldiers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, May 1 1. First Assistant Postmaster-general Clarkson was one' of the young boys who were setting type on the Eepublican paper at Des Moines, la., when the war began, in 1S6L ne was too young to enlist, but his elder brother went to the front, and served till seriously wounded. Most of the veterans who gaT into the First Assistant Postmaster-general's room and hear that officer addressed as "General" Clarkson regard him as having: ben one of them, and those who were not soldiers who observed Mr. Clarkson's deference to the soldiers, are impressed with his extreme kindness to them. One day this week the Assistant Postmaster-general had an opportunity to demonstrate his regard for the veterans. As usual, his room was filled with men who stood about waiting to get a chance to speak concerning the appointment of fourth-class postmasters. An ex-Union soldier hobbled m on crutches. Ho was evidently a private when he served his conntry, because he showed that he had never been in command by the unusual amount of modesty he displaved. Ho stood behind the crowd and leaned up against the chimney-Jam. Mr. Clarkson continued for somo minutes to disposo of oliice-seekera beforo he discovered through the crowd tho one legged soldier. As soon, however, as tho veteran's presence was discerned the Assistant Postmaster-general waded through, the crowd, stepped over the feet of a number of able-bodied men who occupied tho scats in tho room, and approaching the soldid ( "Come up in front and have a scat," Tho soldier went up to the front with Mr. Clarkson, and took a seat in the latter' chair at tho great desk. The incident attracted tho attention of every ono in th room, and those who occupied the seats were prone to rise and stare at the stranger. As soon as Mr. Clarkson got done with tho gentleman he was givinu attention to. hq turned to the soldier, gavo him a hearing, and did what was wanted. An Army of Jgl's and Armless Men, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington', May 18. "I never saw a place where there were so many onearmed and one-legged, or armless and leg less men as here," exclaimed a far Western man vho was on the streets of Washington the other day. "Everywhere I go I meet these evidences of tho rebellion What does it mean?' Ever since the war there havebeen congrts gating in thenational capital more and more) ex-Union soldiers every year. There were not as manv here durinethe last four vears as during the years from lb61 to lKSi Thero never were bo many as now. When all tho departments closo at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the army of employes are vomited out, a stranger would almost feel like ho were around a soldiers home if ho wero to see the one-armed and one-legged veterana. Tho Republican administrations priortolSSl set the exampleof giving preference to thesa men in the employment of clerks, but many of them wero xnaue to go during the last administration. Kow they are in decided favor when new employes are taken, and the army seems to bo increasing every day In some parts of the city, at certain times of the day, these veterans are in the maiority of the citizens.
