FUh Commissioner Dennis Responds to the Statements of Captain Uerg. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Your issue of the 17th gives the substance of an interview with Capt. D. N. Berg, clerk, etc., in which that official proceeds to do np" the Fish Commissioner in regard to the destruction of fish at Anderson. At one fell swoop he demolishes the whole story by saying "I am firmly of the opinion that not a single fish has been killed in White river through their Ithe factories' agency." This ought to settle the question. But it still remains true that thousands of fish were found dead and floating

in the river on that morning, and all below tho point where the straw-board factory discharges its refuse into the river. The miller at Moss Island Mills, and James W. Webb and others living near the mill were the authoritv for my statement. Mr. Webb says: "Where I live the river wac blacfc with fish of all kinds and sizes; it Vi.s estimated that there was over one himred bushels of tine fish dead in the mill-pond andbnshels floating on the top of the water in a dying condition' l P. Brown,, of Anderson, says, under date of July 2: "I witnessed a sight this morning that was enough to make a fisherman heart-lick. The dam and mill-race, two miles below town, are literally full of dead fish, killed within the last forty-eight hours by the offal from the straw-board-works and nail-mills. I think there was one hundred bushels in the mill-race more than I had an idea there was in the river." These statements were corroborated by every resident at and about the mill that I talked with, and can he verified under oath, if necessary; yet, in the faco of these facts, Mr. Berg has the hardihood to say, "If the Fish Commissioners had taken pains to make a proper investigation.", etc I have had some previous experience with the refuse of a straw-board factory in killing fish. The factory at Kokomo discharges its refuse into Wildcat creek and has killed all the fish in tho stream. At Stonebreaker's dam, fifteen miles down, the dead fish accumulated in such quantities as to fill the race and stop the mill, and the stench from the dead fish made life a burden to the inhabitants of the valley. A chemical analysis of this refctt made at Earlham College showed a richness of poisorous matter sufficient to account for the destruction of the fish. Mr. Berg's "firmness of belief 'that not a single fish has been killed by this agency may satisfy him. but it will not restore the dead fish, and his rushing into print in tho Anderson Bulletin shows that he is not afflicted with shrinking modesty. His investigation is stated to have been "careful and painstaking." After saying that "no fish have died, so far as can be ascertained, wince the defuncS carcasses were floating on the surface of the stream Jnne, 2J," he adds: "Nearly all the dead tUh had the scales knocked off of them uf if they had suffered concussion." Now, a "careful and painstaking" citizen might inquire of Mr. Berg, how many fish be picked up aud examined altera lapse of eighteen days of hot weather, and whether, as an "expert." he could determine as to wnetberthe scales weTe positively "knocked on?' by dynamite. One more specimen of official accuracy and twill leave Mr. Berg and his criticisms. In his Bulletin manifesto he savs: "The American nail-works are located two miles from White river." Now, the fact is. they are less than three-fourths of mile, and Green's brancn, which is a sprit branch and into which the nail-works discharge their refuse, was formerly filled with small fish, and was tho favorite spot for angler's to secure their minnows. Now there is not a minnow or crayfish from the works to the river. Mr. Berg is just a mile and a quarter front the truth in reference to the location of the nail-works, and his other statements are correspondingly wide of the mark. He concedes that the works nse sulphuric acid and copperas, but charmingly adds: "The compound is not poisonous." The original statement which I msde in regard to the affair at Anderson was true in substance and In fact, and the "cheap and simple" remedy which 1 suggested to the Straw-beard Comaany meets their approbation and will obviate all future trouble as far as they are concerned. It is just possible that the fact of the straw-board factory being shut down at the time of Mr. Berg's visit will explain why he saw no dead fish. But how about tho scales on those he didn't see being "knocked off" by dynamite? The dynamite theory is not borne out by the facts. W. T. Dkxnis. Fish Commissioner. Ricitmoxd, July 13. Religious Liberty in Uia Courts. To the Editor of the IndUnapolta Journal About one year ago a farmer by the name of King, living in Obion county, Tennessee, was complained of for working on his farm on Sunday, brought before a justice, tried, convicted, and fined $3 and costs, amount . Ui2 in all to about $13. Mr. King being a

member of a chnrch which observes the seventh day of the week (Saturday as the Sabbath, thought he had a right to labor, at least upon his own premises, on the other six days of tho week, in accordance with the command. "Six days shalt though labor." The result of the trial before tho justice, however, did not appear to change his mind, as be continued to cultivate his farm on Sunday betimes, as occasion and necessity seemed to require. It was not long beforo he was complained of again, this time before the grand jury at Troy. A true bill was found against him, the indictment alleging plowing on Sunday to be a nuisance. His trial came off in the Circuit Court last March, at which time he was fined $75 and costs. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court of the State, which has just rendered itsdecisiou, sustaining the action of the lower court. It is now proposed to take the case to the Supreme Court of tho United States and test the rights of American citizenship. The case Is in the hands of the National Religions Liberty Association, an organization of comparatively recent origin, and is Attracting considerable attention because of the question of religious liberty which it involves. It would seem that a man has the Tight, and t should have the privilege of usinphis time upon his own premises as he sees proper, and not be compelled to conform to .the religious ideas and customs of tho6e around him. "Essential freedom," says Kidpath, 'Js the right to differ." Second only to its political freedom, the United States is famed for its liberty in religious matters. The King case.it seems, will test whether such liberty can be secured at the court of last appeals under the federal government. W. A. COLCORD. Indianapolis, July IB. ; ,

A WESTERN HEATED TERM. Its Peculiarities Graphically Described by One Who lias Had Experience. Boston Transcript. No one who has not been through such a heated season as they have had in the West can quite understand what it means. Happily, we have no such desert heats here. They do not have them in the Southern States at any rate, not in the eastern Southern States. It is only in the West and Southwest that those torrid simoons of temperature come. Over a dry land, itself heated to ahigh temperature, blows a wind from a still drier, and hotter desert land. Hour after hour, day after day. that steady, scorching wind comes down from the parched Western plains. It seems to strike the face in stinging particles, as if it were a hot blizzard. The sun devours one from nbove, the air bites hotly as it passes, and the ground sends up reflected rays of heat that seem to prod one's fiesb as if they were pitchforks in the hands of those little imps of an overheated future. There is no relief from it; tbe sun sets in a sea of molten copper every night; it rises from a like reservoir of heat in the morning, and rides on through unclouded calorie efiulgence all day. You do not dare to look toward it; it seems as if it were coming down to eat you up. You stagger along through the street, with a wet cloth in your hat, shivering with heat. Yes, gentle reader, shivering with heat. Perhaps you never did that in New England; perhaps von never heard of such a thing before. But if you were on a great Western plain in one of these heated spells, yon would soon learn just what it means to have a sensation of tremor, accompanied by a sudden development of goose flesh, creep along your skin under this horrible access of furious heat. When it conies you wonder whether you are actually beginning to parboil and you stagger on. The nights are, if anything, worse than tbe days. Yon fear to court sleep totally uncovered, and drag tbe sheet listlessly over your sprawling form. Too much! It is impossible to endure it. You worry yourself into a kiud of feveTish sleep, ana wake up again, perspiring heavily. Yon get up and look out of tho window. The largo stars look cool enough and have an air of mocking you. The hot wind soughs steadily along from the same scalding southwestern quarter, it will not let anything cool off. even under the cool stars. Possibly the mere look of these, howover, refreshes you a little, and you steal back to bed. You feel the mattress hot to your touch as yon lie down upon it, and you vary the listless, sweltering monotony of the night by bounding around from one part of the bed to another, seeking a cool spot. Presently 1 you conclude that the part of the bed where you havo been lying awhile is cooler than any other that you can actually cool it off a little with your body by lying still. Why not! You re ason that your own temperature is 98Q, while everything that this scorching air has touched must be up to 110 at least. So, having first obtained a fresh wet cloth for yonr forehead, you spread yourself out to cover as much of the mattress as possible, and subside into perspiring inaction. Very likelyyon fall once more into an uneasy sleep. With such exercises as these tbe long night passes at last, and you actually welcome the return of the burning day. But you go out into it with a sense of having less of bodily strength to meet its terrors with than you had the day before. Yon feel that if you could rest at night you might stand the heat, perhaps; but. as it is. can yon endure it? People begin to fall around you with insolation. The papers havo lists, columns lonsr. of people struck down by the heat, with display heads that add a new terror to the situation. Whatever of evil and distress there iS in this world, how the newspapers do aggravate it! If you did not know so many people were dying of sunstroke in the town, perhaps you would not speculate quite so actively as to whether your turn were coming next. But the thing begins to strike right about you. Nothing more terrible than to see one you love stagger and fall before your eyes, within doors, succumbing, riabt after one of these terrible nights, to the invisible, all-pervading influence of the unceasingheat. Your senses seem to weaken at last. 1 our brain becomes dull and unfeeling. You are conscious of a steadily diminishing force, and feel with a kind of thick-witted desperation that yon must die before long. You resort to the one half-refreshing thing that is left to you a bath. You enter the bath-room in the old listless way. Rising from it, you seem to experience a new sensation of coolness. You have taken a bath every day for a fortnight, but yon have experienced no such sensation as this before. What does it meanf Is it the reaction that precedes collapse? lias your timo comet You put on your clothes hastily and go out: they are insufficient you wish you bad an overcoat. You pass out into the street. There are excited and joyful people on the si dowalk, dancing and embracing one another. Yon look dazed and bewildered. The wave! The The Manitoba wave has come!,f they exclaim. It is true; you perceive that, while you were m the bath, the wind has shifted, and, instead of blowing in a steady swell from the southwest, it is coming : in quick cold gtiBts from the north-northwest From the bottom of your heart you invoke heaven's blessing on Manitoba. It seems like a fabled place; nobody ever went to Manitoba, and you never saw anybody that came from there. But this cold wind is something real and delicious. You are anew man; you run an get an overcoat, and brace yourself up with a meal of roast beef, with a cup of coffee for days you have hated tbe sight of food aud in twenty-four hours you are growling about the chilly weather and that ever lasting cold wind from the northwest. lie Came Near It. Boston Transcript. "Did yon ever tell a lie, George!" asked his Uncle Henry. "No," replied George, with a far-away expression in his frank, blue eyes; "but lonce came perilously near tho imaginary line which divides veracity from meudaeity. It was when my mamma dear mammalasked nie where I had been one night, and I told her I had been engaged in astronomical research. 1 think she misaprehended me, and thought I had been studying the stars in heaven's blue vault instead of the stellar lights at the theater. At all events, she seemed pleased at my answer. It was always my endeavor to please mamma, you know, dear Uncle Henry." , Wake Ulm Up. Ihdhuupoiit Rani's Horn. Away down deep in every human heart is something that makes one long at times to trample the cares of earth under foot and pillow the head on the clouds, but an opportunity to make a dollar with apparent ease will bring the average man back to earth with a suddenness that nothing else in life can eclipse. Wears Glasses but Can See This. Manchester Union Tho Boston girl may wear glasses, but she has energy and push when she desires to reach a desired end. Oue of them recently devised a neat scheme to get her verses, which were usually "declined with

thanks," published. She would send a line or a verse from one of her poems to tho query column of some paper and ask from what poem such a line came, the name ot the poem and that of the author. A friend, also a rhymester, would send the querist's own poem to the paper with the desired information, and of course it would appear in print. The querist would do the same for her "friend," and so on, until between them they had most of their etlusions printed, if that doesn't show genius we are no judge of that Boston commodity. THE TOWER OF AN OLD SONG.

No Matter How Poorly Flayed or Sang It Recalls Memories of Childhood Days. Indianapoills Ram's Horn. There is something about an old songthat picks a man up, bod and boots, and carries him back to the long ago, when a dime looked as big as a barrel hoop, and evervthiugwith sugar in it was a luxury with the savor of heaven imprisoned therein. A man may not have any more music in him than a boarding-house piano, but if he has enough of the divine gift to tell a quickstep from a funeral march, the most precious memories will come bounding upon him every time a hand-organ makes a raid in his neighborhood. No man ever reaches a station so exalted in life that he can think of the time when he had stone-bruises on his heels without feeling that he would eagerly swap all his possessions, hopes and ambitions for oue more taste of the joys of those golden days. A slip-shod air from a wheezy old melodeon, or a gasping tune from an asthmatic parlor organ, may Hood the most gloomy soul with sunlight in a moment, and send the blood coursing through the veins with a quicker motion and a warmer flow than it has known for years. Like tbe carnage of war, the battle of life has a tendency to dull tbe sensibilities and callous tbe heart against the angelic within us. but memory is the magio wand that restores all. and makes the soul weep in the gladness of joys long since forgotten. No one can recall the days of childhood without being warmed with thoughts of good, and feeling sad regrets that those bright moments should have had an end. An old fiddle with , a string missing will make a grandmother forty years younger in two minutes, if it happens to get in the neighborhood of a tune that was whistled by a blue-eyed lad who now sleeps on tbe hillside under a willow, and the song of a young mother to the babu on her bosom, when tbe shadows of evening were beginning to gather, have been known to bring tears to the eyes of a man who would dye his hands with the blood of a fellow-being for two dollars and a half. Music, divinest gift of tho gods, what treasures have thy melodies not given us! With a mouth organ at his lips, a young man may feel rich iu soul without a cent in his pocket or a crumb in his stomach, and with an old cracked piano at her tender mercy a young woman may flood an entire neighborhood with memories so precious that death could have no terror, no matter in what shape it might come. Even an accordion as wind-broken as a preacher's horse may carry a Dutchman bigger than a woman's trunk from Milwaukee to Berlin in the twinkling of an eye, without putting out his pipe, and set him down in the midst of gladuess cheap at a hundred dollars a minute, and a song with no more melody about it than making shoes for a living may set a bald-hended old Philistine drifting about among the clouds with a bouquet of rhapsody in each hand and hair enough under his hat to make a bine pin-cushion. The whistling of a school-boy may ilood the heaf t of an old maid with memories more precious than beaten gold, and a few squeaking notes on the bugle of a fish-peddler may have power to make a millionaire feel as wretched as a tramp in a bath-tub. Tho seethings of torment to ordinary mortals that come out of the end of a llute in the hands of a cold-blooded amateur across the way, will brighten the eyes of a man with a beard of snow, reverse the wheels of life, and carry him back to days deep buried with the dust of time. Once more he will be young, rolling in the hay mow and sucking eggs on the sly. lie may have won eminence and be honored of men, but memory holds tho glass and he sees a little barefooted, shock-headed boy, with holes in the knees of his pantaloons, drinking from an old moss-covered bucket a draught sweeter than fame, and he feels that fortune has no joy attainable by man equal to pure delight of innocence in easylitting garments.

He stepped on the corner, gazed into the sky, scratched his chin, and pulled his whiskers. Then he fumbled in his vest pocket, wrinkled his brows, pursed up his

lips, scratched his head and blew his nose with a manner mors deliberate than the collection of a bad debt. Anon he opened his month, tugged at his lower lip. muttered to himself, and fixed his eyes on the chimney-tops in a vacant, stony stare that soon collected a crowd that blockaded the sidewalk. He was a married man, trying to think what it was his wife had charged him to be sure to get. "PATHFINDER" VuEMONT.

Why lie Was Court-Martialed When Young Poverty of His Later Years. Washington Letter In Cleveland Leader. I met to-day Mr. Hodman M. Price, who was contemporary with General John C. Fremont, in California, along in the '40s. Price was then in the United States navy, serving in the Pacific squadron nnder Commodore Stockton. In 1S51 he was elected to Congress from New Jersey, and was afterward Governor of that State. He is a well-preserved old gentleman, and a most interesting talker. He has always been an admirer aud intimate friend of Fremont, and speaks in the most glowingterms of the services he rendered the government. In answer to my inquiry, he told me about the trial of Fremont, by court-martial, in 1847. He said: "The ofienso against military discipline charged npon Fremont was nothing that in the slightest degree impeached his honoror integrity. He was then a captain in the army, and was serving nnder the orders of Commodore Stockton. Gen. Stephen Kearny a .relative of Phil Kearny came on and assumed command of the land forces. Fremont's troubles grew out of a question of rank between Stockton and Kearny. Stockton claimed that his assimi lated rank in the navy was the same as that oi a urigaaier-generai, ana as nis commission was the older he insisted that he out ranked Kearny. Fremont recognized Stockton as his superior officer, and flatly refused to obey an order given him by Kearny, and tbe latter immediately placed him in arrest. He was sent Fast over the plains. and was tried and found euiltv of insubor dination and disobedience of orders. A light sentence was imposed, and this was promptly remitted by the President. Fremont was high-spirited, and he at once resigned his commission in the army, lie re turned to California and took an active part in the organization of the State, coming to Washington as one of the first united States Senators. "Keadinc about General Fremont's death," continued Mr. Price, "I saw it stated that, in the opinion of many, including his physician, his life was shortened by tho ungrateful manner in which be was treated by the government he served so well. I have no doubt that this is true. No one who is acquainted with the facts will say that he did not reccivo very shabby treatment. He lived to a good old age, as it was, but he ought to have lived many years longer. I am proud to say that I was one of his intimate friends, and I know that he felt keenly the neglect and injustice he bad sufiered. He ought to have been placed npon the army retired list years and years ago, instead of waiting till he was upon the verge of the grave. "In his old ago Fremont was absolutely a poor man. 1 know that the wolf got pretty near the door sometimes. He had a fortune years ago in his Mariposa estato in California. He sold this for a million and a half in gold, a good , part oi which he made over to his wife as a provision for their declining years. But Fremont had no head for business. He embarked in enterf irises which were unsuccessful and which eft him deeply involved. His faithful wife placed at his disposal tho money he had given her. and it was all dissipated. The waste of his tine property is a painful sub ject to his friends. The passage of an act by the present Congress retiring him with tho rank of major-general was but a meager and a tardy recognition of what he did for the country in exploring tho Western wilderness, nearly half a century ago. I believo that much of that vast and valuable domain now within' the borders of California and Oregon would have been lost to the United States but for him. "1 have often talked with Fremont about that proclamation he issued while in command of the Department of Missouri, setting free the slaves iu that State. This was in 1S61, more than a year beforo President Lincoln had determined to striko the rebellion in its vital, point. Fremont's proclamation was speedily, revoked from headquarters at Washington, and he was relieved from his comtfra'mli ' He was right, but a little too fast. It was' only his history as a pathfinder repeating itself. He struck out boldly upon hitherto untrodden ground and blazed the way for those who were to follow him. Notwithstanding the fact that bis proclamation got him into trouble, Fremont always dooke of this official act with undisguised satisfaction. He was proud of it and never regretted it, even though it was held at the time to have been a mistake. - "General Vandever, one of the members of Congress from California, tells me that be will at once introduce a bill to put Fremont's widow on th pension roll at a rate proportionate to the: rank and public services of her husband. I hope too bill will pass quickly. For only two or three months had the General received the benefit of his salary on the retired list. Of course this ceases with his death, and Jessie Benton Fremont, whom tho whole Nation admires, has nothing upon which to live during her few remaining years. In the order of naturo she cannot be much longer with us and we as a people ought to care for her. It is not a gratuity or a charity, for we owe it to her. There is no danger that she will bo overpaid. ' She is a noble type of American womanhood a worthy daughter of grand old Tom Benton. Itistrue that Benton swore like a pirate when be learned that Jessie had run off with Fremont and married him, against the parental command, but this only showed her spirit and pluck. All the world knows how faithful she was to her husband all through their married life of more than fifty years how she was his constant companion as he picked bis way through the wilderness, while commanding an army in the field, and during all the nps and downs of bis checkered career. Age has not robbed her of those graces of mind and heart that havo so charmed her wide circle of friends. Her life has .been one of romance, self-sacrifice and patient devotion to duty. My heart bleeds as I thiuk of her on the shore of the Pacific while her companion of half a century lay dying three thousand miles awav. Many eyes will moisten for stricken, lonely Jessie Fremont." Traveling-Dresses for Summer. Harper's Bazar. ' 1 The tailor gown of homespun orof checked cheviot is tho conventional traveling-dress, rivaled only in popularity by tho skirt and jacket of serge, with a washiog-silk blouse, but for short journeys in drawing-room cars almost any walking-dre is now considered suitable. Dark India silks, especially those with black ground, or with navy-blue or brown ground, make most comfortable traveling-dresses for summer, as the' aro of light weight and cool. A cape or jacket of cloth should be provided with 6nch a dress, or else a dust-cloak that covers it entirely. A tasteful dress of this kind recently worn on an afternoon jour ney is of black India silk, with small bright llower dedgn, simply made, and trimmed with Vandykes of ecru and white embroidery. Better still was the "silkgingham" gown chosen by an experienced traveler, with narrow strips of ecru, brown and black, trimmed with many rows of black ribbon on tbe skirt, sleeves and front of the bodice. This fabric is in India silk, without lustre, that is well sponged beiore being made up. and, therefore, does not shrink or spot when moistened. The glace mohairs make excellent traveling dresses, as tneir smooth surface sheds dnst, and they do not cockle; they are also still considered by many the best fabrics for dnst cloaks, though Holland twills are used for long coats, and pongee, foulard and surah are liked for loose cloaks. An Insidious Drug. Pittsbur Dispatch. Hydrate of chloral is a very tricky medicine. The first timo you take it for insomnia the modest little dose gives you sleep as soft, and sweet, and natural as that of a healthy child; and you wake clear-minded, vigorous and without any "after effects.' So with gradually-diminishing efficiency the drug works through succeeding experiments; but by and by you find that to produce sleep you must steadily increase the dose.
