Both the candidates are confident of "access. Mr. Parnell while driving through the town this moraine not cheered by those -who recognized him. Mr. Michael Davitt. editor of the Labor AVorld, has sent a dispatch from Sligo to that paper saying that the polling commenced punctually at 8 a. m., many workingmen voting at that early honr. The constituency is divided into five polling districts, in which there are fifteen polling booths. In some of the districts the voters are compelled to travel seven miles. The l'arnellites will admit that they are beaten and the Nationalists expect a majority of nbont 1,000. The Tories, adds Mr. Davitt'a dispatch, voted for Dillon, the Farnellite candidate, in spite of the fact that the Conservative Club advised them to refrain from Toting. There are about serea hundren Tory voters in tho constituency. Of that number it is believed Mr. Dillon will have 500 votes. lint for this support Mr. Colic ry would win by nearly 2,000 majority. The local Orange Lodge has supported t.ie farnellite candidate. Mo priest Las beer, employed as a personation agent for the he morula candidate, as the Nationalists are resolved not to give their opponents ground for claiming that clerical influence was exercised at the pollingbooths. The elections for poor-law guardians in Northwest Cork to-day resulted in majorities for the McCarthyite candidates of two to one. This ward was supposed to be a Parnellito ntrooKuold. The result of the election will, probably decide Mr. Parnell not to risk his seat in Parliament by resigning and appealing to his conatituents. TREASURY OF MAN I PUR LOOTED. Details or the Attack on British Troops by a Hostile Tribe of Ausamese. Calcutta, April 2. A dispatch from Mr. Gordon, one of those who escaped from Mauipnr, says: "The liritish forces advanced March 22, in order to arrest chief Jnbrai, who had deposed the Rajah of Manipar. The Maninuris resisted, and a general engagement ensued. We ran short of ammunition, and retreated to the residency at Manipur. The Mampuris then, attacked and shelled the residency. Chief Commissioner Quinton, Political Agent Grimwood and Colonel Skene, who was in command of the detachmen tof Goorkhas, rinding that our&mmnnition was almost all gone, notified the enemy that we were disposed to arrange terms for a cessation of hostilities. To this the enemy seemed to agree, and consequently the chief commissioner, the political agent and Colonel Skene, accompanied by Messrs. Cossensand Simpson, went out to meet Chief Jnbrai, but the chief commissioner and those who were with him were treacherously seized and held as prisoners. After the capture of the British officers mentioned, the Uanipuris resumed their attack upon the residency at 2 o'clock in the afternoon of March 25. We were obliged to retreat, finding it impossible to defend the treasury and the residency owing to want of ammunition. After commencing our retreat we fought our war across the hills until we met Cowley's detachment'1 It is reported that the treasury of Manipur has been looted. Gordon says nothing About how many of the British force were killed or how many escaped. The guard in erally composed of one hundred men.

The United States has been liberal in extending the privileges of free cititenship. It has made the conditions easy and the inducements great. In its haste to be hospitable to liberty-lovers of all nations, it has thrown wide the door and given an invitation and promised a welcome embracing nearly every one. It has attempted to hasten the process of domestication and to force the plant of loyalty to blossom into full flower before its time. It has conferred all the rights, responsibilities and power of citizenship before the foreigner has been here long enongh tounderstand the government nnder which he lives and to comprehend what is involved in our free institutions. It has given much and asked but little. The result is the form of citizenship without its substance; a divided allegiance on the part of a large element of our foreign population; a clinging with one hand to the old monarchical government across the sea, while gathering in with the other the prizes lavishly offered to the citizen here, ready, whenever interest shall dictate, to forswear the lightly-assumed allegiance to this government, and to appeal to the eld ruler for protection from some penalty incurred by an utter failure to understand the spiritof American institutions. If these naturalized Italian-born citizens of the United States wero naturalized in truth, there would be none of this bluster among them about "appealing to the mother country. They betray the fact that they have never, at heart, become citizens of tbe United State, and that they are as far from understanding what it means to be a citizen of the United States, as their 'mother country" officials are from a comprehension of the essential diilerences botwo en Republican and monarchical methods. We bold the prize too cheaply. While thousands of foreigners accept it in good faith, thousands of others abuse our confidence, and remain at heart aliens and strangers among us. But we are to blame for expecting that a mere form of law can change the inborn attachment of a man's heart and overcome a hereditary subservience to forms of government radically different from ours, before there has been time for education. We Don't Want Had Foreigners. New Y'ork Tress. Immigration has been of great assistance in developing the resources of the United States. 1 has also brought many evils in its train. American people want only the best immigrants now. Let Kurope take care of the wrecks it has made.

More Claims Hade Against the Bowen Heirs and Estate for Unpaid Taxes, Serious Mistake of a Drnsr Clerk Sued for Breach of Promise Denied Their SignaturesShot Himself A 3Ionstrosit. INDIANA. City of Delphi Brings Action Against the Bowen Estate for Unpaid Taxes. Special to the Indlanauous Journal. Delphi, April 2. Another very important move in the celebrated Bowen tax-hiding case was made to-day, when the city treasurer served notice on W. E. 8tewart, the administrator of the estate, asking him to appear and show' cause why 2,248,000 of personal property should not be placed on the city duplicate, eubjectto taxation, Tbe items aggregating this amount are alleged to have been omitted from the assessment returns during a series of years from ISSLto 1SS9. It has been stated in this correspondence that the administrator has. to this tinio, been unable to secure possession of the books and papers or any considerable proportion of the personal property of the estate, the heirs contesting his authority. The administrator has served notioe on the heirs and their attorneys of the action of the city treasurer and requested them to appear with him and give what informatiod and assistance they can in resisting the action of the treasurer. In addition to this action against the estate, a similar action will be taken against A. T. Bowen in person, requiring him to show cause why an amount exceeding 81,500,000 of his personal property should not be placed on the duplicate for taxation. Action similarjo this has already been taken by the attorneys for the county, and the bearing, which has been in progress before the county auditor during the last three days, was adjourned to-day until Saturday. A. T. Bowen, who created a sensation last Thursday night by departing for Philadelphia, testified to-day that he is now a resident of Pennsylvania, and refused to produce the books of the estate or 6ubm.: a list of its assets, on the ground that it might affect a suit now pending brought by the administrator for 300.000 for intermeddling with the affairs of tho estate. Sued for Breach of Promlie. Special to the Indianapolis JournsL Delphi. April 2. An interesting broach-of-promise suit has been filed in this county. Minnie Russell, a young lady of Terro Haute, is the plaintiff, and Wesley C. Brown, a wealthy farmer of this county, defendant. Minnie. is nineteen and Wesley fifty-five. The defendant was once a school-teacher, and the plaintiff one of his pupils, and it was during that time that Mr. Brown is alleged to have promised marriage. Recently, however, he married another woman, and Minnie, througlra young lawyer, named J. B. Atkinson, who resides in Illinois, and who claims to be a warm personal friend, has sued for $5.P00 damages. Your correspondent has 6een the defendant, and he promises some interesting developments when the case comes; to trial. He says. he has refused anoffer.for compromise, and pronounces it a blackmailing scheme. Five Hundred Mechanics Ihrown Out.;. , Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Fokt Wayne, April 2. Tho -destruction by fire, two months ago, of the White wheel-works plant, and the closing down of the Olds wheel-works yesterday, on orders given by the American Wheil Trust, has thrown out of employment about five hundred skilled workmen m this city. The men held a meeting last night,.' and decided to form a stock comf pany for the purpose of building and oper ating wheel-works on the oo-operative plan. Many of the workmen own their own homes, and aro not in a position t move to other places in search of worK; Another meeting will be held in a few days to perfect the plans for the new enterprise.

A mare belontrini to Jacob Hilligos, living in the southern part of this county, this morning gate birth to a monstrosity. It was about ten inches high and twenty inches long. Tjae body was hairless, except a small amount of mane and a very short tail. It was shaped and proportioned throughout more like a hippopotamus than any thing else 'it could le likened to. The neck was very short and tho ears were like those of ' a small calf and were situated much further back on tbe neck than those of a horse. The head was shaped very much like an elephant s, the forehead protruding very lunch. It was alive when foaled, but lived but a very few minutes. Tbe sire and dafu are both healthy, well-formed animals, i Will Bedlstrict the City. 'V Special to the Indianapolis Journal. C , Lafayette, April 2. At the special session of the Common Council to-night, an ordinance was adopted declaring an emergency existing for the redisricting of this city into wards. The present Council is nine Democrats and five Republicans. Tho redisdistricting ordinance is in compliance with the law recently passed by the Legislature! What sort of a gerrymander has been worked oil by the Democrats on the people is yet unknown, but the general opinion among Republicans is that a very strenuous effort has been made by the Democrats to make themselves solid, so far as a majority in the Council is concerned. The need for redistrioting was undeniable, some of the wards having but 200 votes and others 1.S00. Denied Their Signatures. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. T New Castle, April 2. In November, 1SS9, Dr. O. II. Barrett, of Knlghtstown, loaned W. R. Earnest, of that place, $1,000, taking his note due in one year, with five personal sureties. When the note became due it was not paid and suit was brought upon it. Earnest and his sureties put in a plea that tbe note sued upon was forged, and on the trial all swore that the signatures to the note were not theirs, thus practically charging Dr. Barrett with forgery or procuring some one to commit forgery. The. case, after being on trial in the Circuit Court here for three days, was given to the jury at noon to-day, who promptly returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount. Serious Mistake of a Drug Clerk. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Richmond. April 2.-C. M. Hatfield, a druggist, in moving a drug store here from Farmland, was assisted by a nephew, Bert Hatfield, of Greensfork, who, to-day, made almost, if not quite, a fatal mistake. Similarity of labels causod him to put up corrosive sublimate for chloral, and a dose had been given to A. O. Mitchell before the fact was known. Dr. Balienger. to whom the prescription was given, had not left tne house of the patient, however, when Hatfield arrived, and the prompt treatment immediately resorted to has left Captain Mitchell comparatively easy, though the poison is pecnliar in its action, and he is not yet entirely out of danger. Delayed by a Collision. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Noblesville, April 2. This morning, as the north-bound freight on the Lake Erie &, Western was crossing the track of the Midland, an engine on the Midland dashed into the Lake Erio &.

water-works trustees mado their report The committee finds that the trustees paid ' money to themselves, as extra compensation, above the amount allowed by statute, and without precedent, and recommend that tho same be returned to the city treasurer. The committee also reports that in awarding city contracts the trustees showed favoritism in awarding contracts to their personal friends, and not to the lowest bidders. - Shot Blmself in the Bead. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Anderson, April 2. This afternoon Ed Alexander, a young man employed in one of the heading factories of this city, entered the grocery store of James Clark and called for a revolver. Mr. Clark handed him a revolver, and before he was aware Alexander stepped back, placed the weapon tohisforhead and fired. The ball passed into the outer plate of the skull. The young man's affectious had been placed upon a Miss Delia Marsh, and the fact that he sought her hand in vain led him to the rash attempt of taking his own life. He will probably recover. Clerks Want an Early Closing. Epecial to the Indianapolis Journal. , Fort Wayne, April 2. A few weeks ago the dry-goods clerks in this city organized as a branch of the National Union of Retail Clerks, and through their efforts secured an agreement from their employers whereby all stores were to be closed every evening at 6 o'clock, except Saturdays. The proprietors recently held a secret meeting, and as a result all stores will hereafter be open every evening until 9 or 10 o'clock. The clerks will hold a mas-meeting to take action on the matter.

He got started down a declivity and could not manage his wooden leg. Country Boads Centurr Magazine. . There is not a rural town within boarding distance of a great city which could not at slisht expense assure itself all the city boarders that it could accommodate by the simple process of systematically and intelligently improving and beautifying its roads. If it were to appoint a town committee with power to employ experts, or to -obtain expert advice, and to carry out tbe suggestions thus obtained in road improvement, the more public advertisement of that proceeding would attract boarders from all directions. The expense would not be great. In nearly every case the gravel or cracked stone necessary for the construction of a serviceable, welldrained road can be obtained within moderate distance. There is, for example, in some parts of Orange county, in New York State, a kind of soft red sandstone to be found in great abundance, which crushes readily under the wheels and makes a hard, firm road-bed, which is never dusty and never muddy, which is yielding to the horses' feet and most agreeable to ride over. Ordinary gravel can be used with almost equally good results. The main thing is to secure something like scientific knowledge in the construction of the roaa and in the mixture of materials. The vicious idea that anybody can make a road bv shoveling dirt into the middle of it from tne gutter, or. what is the same thing in a wholesale form, hanling it there by means of a "scraper' must be abandoned at the outset, and not only abandoned but prohibited. Until that is done no reform will be possible. Co-Operation in ngland. Philadelphia Inquirer. The co-operative societies of England furnish an example that might well be followed in many rural communities. Beginning on a small scale, as most of those have begun, a society of farmers could unite to purchase in quantity, and consequently at a reduced price, some one of the commonest necessities of life. If their experience was successful this could be extended until it embraced most of tbe staples, and the saving would amount to a considerable per cent, of their annual expenses. In Rochdale, England, in 1S44, about thirty men united in this way and contributed a capital of 5 each with which to boy supplies in common. One of them, acting as agent, bought the goods, for which each member paid the usual retail price, receiving with the purchase a ticket showing the discount to which he was entitled. These sums were placed to the credit of the members, and finally turned into more capital stock.

CURIOUS CEREMONIES Performed When the Crown Prince of Slam ISecame or Age. New York Recorder. ' The Crown Prince of Siam came of age the other day, and in accordance with the. custom of the country he had his hair cut with great ceremony. The hair in question was in the shape of a topknot, which had been sedulously cultivated since he was a baby. Every Siamese boy or girl is subjected to this process, the boy when he is supposed to be old enough to be withdrawn from tho control of the women of the harem, and the girl when the marriageable age draws near. It is a time of great ujoicingeven with the humblest, aud in the case of a scion of royalty there is as much preparation almost as there is for a coronation. The heir apparent is fourteen years old, and for three days preceding tbe great event there were processions to and from and invocations at the principal temples of tbe capital. The principal feature of these processions consisted of battalions of voting men and women in the costumes of the ditierent provinces of the kiugdom. Five hundred girls keeping exact time in their marching, formed the vac, the officers armed with baby swords, and the rank and hie with toy riHes. "At the sides oi the procession." writes a correspondent, "went lictors clad in green and blue, soothsayers of all ages and sizes wearing their tall pink and wbite conical caps, pages in gaudy apparel, apparitors clothed from head to foot in Mephistophelian scarlet. Then, in the male contingent were dark-skinned Highlandersin kilts and plaids, diminutive sheiks and stumny grenadiers, Goorkhas and Sepoys, and a score of other mimio warriors. John Chinaman was there in azure pataloonn, well pigtailed, well hatted, well umbrti laed and well fanned; nor was Japan nor any part of India left without representatives in the march. Behind the royal palanquin came white-clad augelscrowned with the ringed and pointed crown, and bearing a sort of thyrsus meant for gold and silver flowers. Countless drummers, -pipers and trumpeters encouraged the processionists on their way, and brass bands thundered forth European airs at tho seasonable moment." ( The catting of the top-knot took place in the palace yard with consecrated scissors, and then the boy was taken up to tho summit of a mountain that bad been constructed specially for the occasion. Here, in an artificial lake,, he underwent the ordeal of a bath, and then was invested with the five insignia of royalty the crown, the sword, the fan, the slippers and the live-storied umbrella. How Authors Do It. IHastrated American. To hear a succesful author tell how he or she thought out, and then wrote down, a story or poem is alwavs entertaining. And from their own accounts an astonishing variety of methods are eraploved by those who write professionally. For instance, Margaret Sangster, Elizabeth Champney, Marion Harland and Mrs. Burton Harrison 6ay they never put Pen to paper until sketch, romance or essay is clearly defined mentally, even to trivial details. Tho mero writing out of the full-fledged idea is easy enough, for brain has relieved hand of much manual labor other writers go through. Carrying a plot in tbe mind, and altering, adding to and taking from the original plan is a peculiar gift that some'of the most brilliant intellects fail to possess. Others, like Grace King. Miss Murfree. Miss Woolson and Mrs. Van Rensselaer Ciuger, do no less brainwork, but in giving form to their thoughts depend, to a certain extent, upon pen inspiration. Agnes Repplier is almost finicky in her methods, demanding time for and devoting exhaustive care to every piece of works she signs, accounting thereby for the line execution distinguishing her delightful essays. One famous novelist confides that she never submites anything under less than three careful copyings, while an equally distinguished writer declares that in an MB. numbering seven hundred pages not above two dozen interlined or corrected passages will be found. Effect or Christian Science and Mind-Care. Arrd Century. It is a very old observation that a dominant idea is valuable in controlling the human being, and, whether it bo in the bearing of pain or in the devotion which leads the Turk to die contentedly before the Russian bullets, belief is a factor that may be turned to great advantage. Indirectly, Christian science may prove an aid to medical science. The intelligent physician of to-day could receive no greater aid in tbe scientific practice of his profession than to be emancipated by his patients from the obligation invariably to prescribe a drug. When people are willing to employ physicians to order their lives so that they may live in health, the custom which binds the physician to prescribe something for his patient will be unnecessary. As we have become more civilized this state of affairs is gradually coming into place; but there' still lingers the expectation that the doctor's visit means drugs. Christian science and faith-cure, more refined than tbe spiritualistic beliefs which have preceded them, form an interesting study in mental pathology, and mark an advance from the grosser stage of table-tipping and magnetic doctors to a recognition of the fact that among the -weapons employed by the scientific physician of to-day an appeal to a determined purpose to overcome pain is worthy of a place beside antiseptics, and anodynes, find tonics. W II ilk ex-Senator Palmer, of Michigan, now at tbe head of the world's fair commission, was American minister to Spain, he adopted a little boy born in that country and named after Castelar. The youngster now wears a gorgeous Spanish costume, and attracts much attention in Florida, where his new father and mother aro spending a tew weeks. mtm Cheese tbatjhas been cnt in suitable pieces for the table and left some time becomes bard and dry. Our way of disposing of it in such a case is to grate it and put it in a wide-mouthed bottle that can be corked. It is then ready for use in making patties, omelettes and other dishes.
