Ambrose Hamlin, who has been a letter carrier for six years, was arrested yesterday charged with abstracting packages from the mails, and taken before United States Commissioner Van Iluren for a hearing. A portion of the testimony was heard and the remainder will be given this morning. For several weeks the department ha had Hamlin under suspicion, and he has been watched. Occasionally a package would disappear in an unexplalnable manner, and always- it would dlsapper from the desk of another carrier. Postmaster Sahm is oat of the city. Yesterday morning his assistant, Oliver Reveal, left early for home. Information clerk Dave Elliott was in charge. The man who has been watching- Hamlin came in and reported that the carrier had a package on his- desk wrapped in ordinary aper, which he was preparing to take lome. It was said that he did not have the package when hs entered the office. So officer could be found before Hamlin left the office, but a minute later Inspector Fletcher entered. Hamlin had the package tied to the front of his bicycle, which he had left standing in front of a neighboring store. Fletcher placed Hamlin under arrest and seized the package. In which was found a quantity of dress goods. The address was missing. Hamlin said he Lad found It in the waste basket. . Packages without addresses, however, are not thrown in the waste basket, but held for claimants. The losses by the occasional thefts have- been very small, but they have caused the department considerable inconvenience. SALOONS NEAR THE CIRCUS. Police Stood nt Hack nnil Front Doora Yesterday. The saloons gave the police some concern yesterday, but no arrests were made for violations of the lar. Close watch was kept on the saloons in tne western part of the city, for there was a large crowd going that way en route to the circus ground. Those saloons in the immediate neighborhood or the grounds had officers at the front and back doors. The dusty and thirsty drinking people would look In at the vacated places, cast contemptuous K la nee at tho officers on guard and pass on. wishing probably that White river woulJ turn to a stream of beer. AMUSEMENTS. Gritnrf-Mr. unit Mm. Kendnl To-Mftht. To-night, at the Grand Opera House, Mr. and Mr. Kendal will begin the three last performances that they will give in Indianapolis. Tho opening play this evening will be a selection of one of their favorite plays that has met with remarkable success. Plnero's great drama. "The Second Mr?. Tanqueray." In this piece the author has given a well-written story with a tine analysis of human nature. The play is exceedingly realistic in its dialogue and acenes realistic in the scenes of being natural and Is enlivened throughout by dramatic situations vivid In their intensity and a humor that is extracted from the satire of which the characters are supposed to be unconscious. The variety of opinions to which this jrtay has given rise may be accounted for by the fact that it Is an "Impressionist picture, leaving much to the Imagination. One who allows hi mind tf dwell only on what might be called the physical side- of the drama, regards it differently- from the on allowing his fancy to play with the psychological studies it presents. Jn either rase, however, it is attractive as tage production. To-morrow night Mr. and Mrs. Kendal will present Ohnefa powerful play. 'The Ironmaster," which is well known here. For their farewell appearance, Wednesday night, thev will give The Queen's Shilling.' a finecomedy drama, by G. YV. Godfrey. There will fce no matinee. The Kendal engagement closes the Grand's season. - Park London llrllea To-Day. Rose Sydell's London Relies Specialty Company will begin a week's engagement at the Park, this afternoon. The- company Tftas been seen here In the past, but is much stronger now. though it always did give a satisfactory performance in the vaudeville and extravaganza line. It is a combination of clever specialty performers and tb entertainment given is said to be up to the standard of such shows. The cast embraces twenty people, and the performance has the merit of beiner new in many of its features'. Two performances will be given each day this week. Satrlde) of Theatricnl Mnnniirr.

At a teond hearing of the case of JrecLzh ica against the city, which was

tried in Martinsville last week, the Jury returned a verdict late Saturday night awarding 12.500 damages for an injur' received because of a faulty place on Alabama street. Poe was driving along when his front wheel dropped into a chuck hole and threw him out In such a way as to cause injury for life. THROAT. CLT FROM EAR TO EAR.

Saranel Halton, n Colored Laborer, Receive n Serious Injury. Samuel Halton. a colored laborer, had his throat cut from ear to ear last evening, between S and 9 o'clock, during a fight in the neighborhood of 'the Pig Four saloon, on Seventh street, at the intersection of the Dig Four tracks. Dr. I). II. Harold dressed the wound and sent Halton to his home, Xo. 17 Lafayette'strcet. It was impossible to say last night how .the injury will terminate, but Dr. Harold said he thought Halton would recover. The police, about a dozen of them, were unable to find out just who did the cutting or Just how the hht Ptartcd. It was learned that Jacob Weeks and Leonard Tharp. both white, wt.-re implicated In It. Tharp was arrested and slated for assault and battery with Intent to kill. The police were unable to lind Weeks, as he has not been seen since shortly after the affray. Weeks Is probably fifty-four years old. one story told is that Halton knocked Weeks down and Tharp came to the oil man's assistance with his poeketknife. Another story is that Weeks and Halton became engaged in a tlaht. The latter knocked Weeks down, and then Tharp entered the ! insagempni, anu while Tharp and Halton were lighting Weeks cut Halton. It Is said that ail three men had been drinking, rharp was badly bruised, but denied having cut Halton. The latter was very weak last evening, probably due to the loss of blood. The knifo did not sever hl3 windpipe, and he may recover. A Plea for Home Mimical Tiilcnl. To the Kditor of the lnHa Demosthenes said it Lecometh him who j receiveth a benefit from another man for- j ever to bo sensible of it. He U unjust, j Raid Socrates, who does not rtun deserved thanks for any benefit. How few t of us apply the above wise payings to thoe J of talent who rri e . ... .. 1 ine supreme J-'eitu doe. not only confer upon us those bounties which proceed more Immediately from his hand, but even those benefits which are conveyed to us by others. Kvery blessing we enjoy, by what means soever it rmy be bestowed upon us, is the gift of Him who is the reat author of good. And yet, low littL: encouragement; and rare recognition is given to home latent. Noise and show, title and equipage, glitter and grandeur, constitute with many the whole idea of genius. These same will Journey miles and pay fabulous prices to hear a much advertised artist, whose reputation in the main Is because of his or her ability to metamorphose melody. Now, let Indianapolis nrove to the world that which she lays claim to. "A Musical Center." Let her come to. the front and efface from her escutcheon the senseless fad of "our set." Let her sound the clarion note that is to elevate the masses by bringing peace to their weary hearts ami making radiant their saddened faces. We have had our "May Festival." and shown homage to the migratory artists, but the price of admission was such that many. ah. so many true lovers of the art. were debarred from attending. Let Indianapolis in the verynear future give a "festival," furnishing t her own talent, and let the price of admission not exceed 0 centa for "the best scat In the house." Let us gather together the treasures that are within our own gates. We find at the First Haptist Church an orchestra that any city may feel justly proud of; it Is composed of j-ouths and maidens who, under tho directorship of Prof. H. D. Beissenherz, are gaining for themselves a praiseworthy reputation. We find at St. Paul's Church a surpliced choir, whose musical director is C. It. Hodge. At Christ Church we find another surplioed choir, whose able choirmaster is F. Van Wie. These two choirs combined are the Seraphim and Cherubim, literally the heavenly choir. At the College of Music we find a veritable quartet of artists in Messrs. Arens, Schliewein, Schellschmidt and Pierce. We have the talented Montani Hrothers, and Slgnor Marone, the harpist. Throughout the city we have tenors, soprano, contraltos and bassos, that to give individual mention of would but show keen injustice to all. And now we cloe our clt. cult by entering into Plymouth Church. The church organ has ever stood alone, as it were, because of its sublime significant-, it seeming to be really the Instrument of heaven. More especially do we realize thia when the interpretation is portrayed by the hand of penlus. Those patronswho have attended the organ recitals given by W. II. Donley have found that this gentleman has made a groodly use of his wondrous talent. We find in him that which is superior to the ordinary organist, and yet we do not feel that the title of professor is applicable. Hut in the finest sense ofthevterm lo we bestow the appellation of a master. Therefore, do we reiterate, let Indianapolis pay homage to her own And so. too, let our artists Fhow a willing Interest by not demanding extortionate salaries. It certainly Is true that "the servant is worthv of his hire;" still, there is a blessedness in mediocre subservience. We should not consider music merely as an entertainment. It Is one of the seven sciences, and is Justly a-1-mlreJ by all people of fine taste. A person who has no taste for music is destitute of a feeling, which, 'we are Informed, will bo of high estimation In another system. A taste for this art docs not imply that a person is an actual performer. Such as do not love music are persons that few choose to keep company with. Shakspeare. that sagacious piercer into human nature, writes thus: That man that has not music in himself. Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds. Is fit for treason, villanies anl spoils. The motions of his spirit are dull as night. And his affections dark as Krebus. Let no such man be trusted. , .. , LOFISE A. LAIIXED. Indianapolis, May 18. . a omiv; KVKXT. Rlnomera Are on I lie "Way. find. In Kit ?t Almost tvltli Is. Washington Post. Our ,'loeal aristocracy that section, at least, which takes its molels from New ork may as well prepare for bloomers next autumn. We have been watching the course of bicycle events with almost breathless anxiety for some time past, and Nebuchadnezzar himself never saw the handwriting on the wall more distinctly than we pee it now. The bloomer Is com-' Ing sure enough. It is inevitable. A year ago how manv of our belles and beaux, our "society" people, rode bicycles? You could have counted them on the tiliiRers of a onearmed pensioner. Iasf November, when society returned' from Newport, liar Harbor, and so on, everybody had a wheel. Our gilded youth discovered the bicycle during the summer. They had seen the millionaires and the leaders of the New York "ton" astraddle of the nimble "bike" and had suddenly become aware of that Instrument's existence. ' As in a flash of radiant light from heaven they recognized the beauty, the Rood sense and the usefulness thereof. In-one burst of rapturous conviction they took it to their fervent hearts. At once the bicycle was healthful, improving, stylish, and, above all, correct. "Society" adopted it. talked about it as though It were a thing of yesterday, and its votaries were, within a week, pitying every one who didn't ride. And this is our reason for saying that the bloomer t descending upon us. If we get our bicvele from New York, shall we not al.ao get our . wheeling costume? If we accept the Cad in humble gratitu le and fervor, why not the trimmings that go with it? This pronect may .em a little bit startling just now, but what of that? If one had told (Jweniolen or Constance twelve months aco that before the vc-tr was out she would be seen fiving down the asphalt with her skirts in a gieat tumult and the vulvar rabble looking for her ankle, wouldn't she nave turned pale with horror and indignation? Yet that is just what happened to our tlwen anl Connies and -happened on strictly scheduled time. And. now. why not the blooinws. too? The bloomers "go" In New York. All the "best people" wear them. We cannot be in the real metropolitan swim unless we cut our skirts off or bifurcate them or otherwise line up with wheeling dress reform. Shan we Rive up the bicycle just when it has begun to ungl itelf in the meshes of our affections? Never! Shall we. then, abjure the leadership of the truly annolntrd In New York? Impossible! Sv the bloomers come. Or. if not bloomers, thi-n Knickerbockers, which are still better for the g.iyety of nations and the embellishment of tho lanispc.

DOSE OF CROTON OIL

FOUt MOLDERS AT tVKST IVIJIAXAPOMS TAKKX ILL. Suddenly Seised nllh ruins While at Dinner They Hnd Taken the 3 Places of Strikers. It is believed that an attempt was made to poison four men employed in the molding department of the Indianapolis car works last Saturday. The men have just been recently employed, taking the places of some of the strikers. Iist Saturday they went to a near-by restaurant for dinner, and while at the table-were conversing with other men, not paying any particular attrntlon to who might be passing by the table at which they were sitting. All the food seemed to be vyholsome, except the pie. which was of the custard variety. All four of the men said afterward that the pie had a peculiar taste, not common to such pics, but not being accustomed to eating at that particular restaurant they simply concluded that it was the peculiar flavoring used by the bakers, and paid little further attention. They had taken but few LItcs, however, when the man who had first tasted it and had eaten most of his piece felt a strange sensation in his bowels and left the table. When the other men saw how their friend was affected they did not eat any more of the pie, although one of them had already eaten most of his. He, too, was strongly affected in a few moments, while the others who had eaten less of the pie were not so seriously affected. Dr. Morrow was called immediately and after hearing the men's story and making a thorough examination, said he was convinced that croton oil had leen placed on the pie. The men said it had a strange sweetish taste and that thev .also felt a burning sensation after eating it. This led the physician to at lirst suspect arsenic, but later developments showed that atseni could not have been used. The men paid they had been engaged in conversation while eating and could not say positively whether anyone had had an opportunity to place the oil on the pie after it was served to them, but thought that such a thing was possible. It was late Saturday night before the men were all in a condition to be pronounced out of danger. If croton oil was used, and Dr. Morrow is almost positive thnt such is the case, the only thing that saved the men's lives was the lack of knowledge on the part of the person who administered it. The do.e that two of the men got was almost sufficient to cause death, and probably would have been fatal if medical assistance had not been immediately available. The other two men, who left their pie when they saw how seriously It was affecting their companions, recovered in a short time, little the worse for their experience. Dr. Morrow could not give the names of the men and they could not be learned last night at the otllce of the car company. .NEW PUBLICATION'S. (From the Howen-Merrill Company.) Readers of magazine verse have become familiar with the name of Julia Anna Wolcott, who has been a frequent contributor of short poems to the Century Magazine, the Arena and other periodicals. A volume of her verse is published under the title of "Song Blossoms" (Arena Publishing Company, Iloston.) The poems are all short and are classified according to their character and sentiment into "Riverside and Meadow" poems, "Among the Hills," "At the Fireside," ."With tho Children,' "In Lightsome Mood." etc. They embrace a wide range of topics and almost as wide a range of merit, some showing genuine poetic feeling and comparatively finished workmanship, while others are commonplace in thought and expression. There are indications that the author possess? the dangerous gift of composing too easily. Some of the poems which would pass well enough in a magazine do not. seem worthy of a place In a permanent collection, and many of the lines are lame or unmusical. The author does not seem to fully appreciate the value of the rubber end of her pencil. She should also avoid the commonplace fault of padding out a line by beginning It with "oh." Thus one finds, "Oh, where does the blush of the wild rose go." "Oh, the blue, blue sky is o'er me," "Oh, the budding rose with lips parted," "Oh. clear little man of the meadows brown." and scores of other lines begining with "Oh." Cloth, ornamented, $1.2?. A book of considerable historic Interest and value is "The American Congress," by Joseph West Moore. Without being strikingly original, it gives in a concise and popular form a clear, interesting and intelligible account of the legislative and political affairs of the American people from the colonial period to the present time, that Is. from 1774 to 1S95. The first chapter informs the reader in a rapid manner of the Knglish settlement of the country, and of the momentous events which led to the meeting of the first Continental Congress. Following this the history goes on in consecutive style to narrate the movement for Independence, the doings cf the revolution, the making of the Constitution, the establishment of the constitutional Kovernment, and all the most Important legislative proceedings from the First Congress to the close of the Fifty-third. The origin and growth of parties, the memorable actions of Presidents, and many other matters pertaining to American politics are also described and discussed. Interwoven in the chapters arc extracts from famous speeches and debates taken from official reports. Such a work, embracing the history of so long a period, must necessarily be condensed, yet the author has covered the ground surprisingly well. The work is a valuable addition to our political history. Cloth, $3. Harper & Brothers. Now that China Is likely to become more accessible to the outer world there will be a desire to know more about the Chinese. "The Ileal Chinaman," by Chester Holcombe, conveys much interesting Information In regard to them. The author was for many years interpreter, secretary of legation and acting minister at I'ekinK. and knows tho Chinese people and character thoroughlv. His descriptions and explanations of some of their daily life and of some of the mote prominent factors in the national life arc very interesting. The chapters on Chinese home life. Chinese superstitions, Chinese religion, education and literature are particularly so. The work I copiously illustrated and handsomely bound. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co. "With the lYocesion." by Henry H. Fuller, Is a realistic novel of Chicago life, somewhat on the line3 of "The Cliff Dwellers," by the same author. The principal theme of the story is the upheaval of a sober Chlcaso commercial family, rich ard fossilized, by the ambitions of the progressive younger son and daughter. The way in which the moral and social traditions of the elders are overthrown Is vividly Iort rayed and the pictures of up-to-date Chicago life are well drawn. Cloth, fl.5. Harper & Urothers. "Stories of Columbia' by Will H. Glass cock, traverses a well-gleaned field. The stories of Columbus, the Mound Builders, corge Washington, Paul.

Each chapter is introduced by a poetical stanza by l.eo o. Harris. These are very good, and the only original thing in tho book. Cloth, $1. New York: D. Appleton A: Co.

N THE STATE tJMVEKSITY.

Reasons AVliy Liberal Support Should lie CHven It from the Public Funds. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The writer ,with the prophetic nom de plume who, in the Journal of the ICth, drew his pen on Indiana University and proceeded to assault that worthy institution, has evidently mistaken the call.pf duty. Ty the proclamation of -such - .views as he professes to entertain he is in danger of being labeled a back number and laid on the shelf with his musty fellows, while the procession moves steadily on to the music of "new" Indiana. To pose as the champion of the taxpayers whose contributions support this institution one may not be . successful if he is not true to their n:anifest purposes and desires. The taxpayers of Indiana have, for more than half a century, placed themselves on record as in favor of a State university, and this, in spite of the persistent and ever recurring opposition of a few whose modern oracle finds his chief reason for the discontinuance of State support in the abandonment of State construction and supervision of roads and canals. The assertion that the idea ?f. the State's adoption of a system of "internal improvements", and another of education at the same time, and the subsequent abandonment cf the former, proves nothing in support of the projKJsitlon that it should discard the latter also. He is too zealous, and, really, unkind in urging the immediate strangling of this vigorous daughter of the State that she may be Interred by the "twin sister" who died for lack of maternal sustenance so long ago. Doubtless the parents of this interesting pair believed that material and educational advancement should go hwvl irt hand, and if, perchance, the genius of invention, and, therefore, of progress, made further r.-ain-tenance of the "internal improvement" system undesirable, it does not follow that the surviving offspring, of different nature and of rapidly maturing stature, should likewise be abandoned. The claim that tho springing up of other colleges relieves the State of obligation to maintain Its university has neither the virtue of newness or strength. If sectarian organizations have established schools of higher education it in no way lessens the demand for a State university. If there were a sectarian, school in every county in the State the demand for a State university would yet remain. The effort to belittle the one we have does not add to the authoi's tepute for fairness and Intelligence. Any one who i. informed upon the subject knows that the work of this school in recent years, in broadening the avenues to learning, in modernizing the . curriculum and adopting advanced methods of teaching, has done more to place Indiana in a creditable position among States noted for their educational institutions than any other factor. That this work has not been successfully performed by other schools, witness the effort and failure of one. and the recent much to be regretted resignation of Its president on that account. If Indiana University has accomplished no other service to the State than that of lifting its educational life to its present high and creditable plane, it has richly paid for every dollar expended In its behalf. Of the argument that other. States have universities equally accessible to our youth and endowed with millions of money the replv may be fairly made that because neighboring States are prepared to manufacture our products and supply our mercantile demands we should be content to have them do so The one is just as tenable as the other. The $100,000 per year, if such be the sum at present apportioned to Indiana University, should be increased in keeping with, its increasing: needs until Michigan or Illinois may not offer superior inducements to the son and daughters of Indiana who want an education of the highest and broadest character. The State Fnivcrsity does "propose to supply the demand for college work." If it is not able to do so its disability should be removed, even though, according to "the per capita expense of what it does -supply, a million a vcar would not foot the bills." The recent Legislature, in dealing with the educational Interests of the State, represented the intelligent and progressive spirit of our people that has always aided in helping Indiana to the front. The- "taxpayers" are not suffering from the burdens imposed for educational purpose, anl will decline to participate in the proposed turial of the "ar.aehronim" simnly 1-eeause its "twin sister" met an early death.. Anderson. Ind., May 18. UNIVERSITY. Putnam County's old 31 1 lies. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I saw an article In the Journal, In which Mr. Rlatchley, State Geologist, made a statement about the Putnam county gold mine, which is misleading. , A mining expert always explores and samples a mine before condemning it. Mr. Rlatchley has condemned the Putnam county prospect without seeing it. He says he received a sample of crushed ore from the P,oro crusher. I do not know where that crusher is located; certainly not in these parts. If we had a million tons of ore ready to treat, we would not want a crusher, as our ore ts refractory. The Putnam county prospect (for that is 11 it is at present) Is a private enterprise. Myself and my associates think we know what we are doing. We are not mining on paper, but are prospecting and developing under the Rround, - w hich U th.-; only way to test a prospect. We have no shares for sale, nor have we askJ or do we need the State Geologist's opinion as to whether we shall find anything. If he had taken the trouble to come down and examine our workings we could have shown him a vein with ore in it that will run . per cent. zinc. We have no gold nd are not looking for gold. AV. A. II.

DUKE OP HAMILTON

CATIEEII OF THC LATE DISSIPATED PREMIER PEER OF SCOTLAXD. Ilnt-Ivtlliiiur, DoK-FiftltttnK-, Iln.luerllaltinir mid Pusilism Mere His PrlnelpHl Delights. Philadelphia Telegraph. The cable announces the death, in Algeria, of the twelfth Duke of Hamilton, William Alexander Louis Stephen Douglas-Hamilton, twelfth Duke of Hamilton, premier peer of Scotland, Marquis of Hamilton, Marquis of Douglas. Marquis of Clydesdale, Eat I of Angrus, Earl of Arran, Earl of Lanark, Daron Hamilton, Baron of Aven, Polmont,' Macanshire and Innerdale, Raron of Abernethy and Jedburg Forest, in the peerage of Scotland, Duke of Brandon and llaron Dutten in the peerage of Great Britain, and Duke of Chatherault, claimant Premier Duke of France, was born at London. In 1S43. He was the eldest son of the eleventh Duke and of the Princess Marie Amelia Elizabeth Caroline, daughter of tho late Grand Duke of Baden, and cousin of the late Emperor Napoleon III. He was perhaps the best-blooded peer in Great Britain. "Whether," say the Brothers Chambers, "from its being the ' premier peerage of Scotland, the figure which the family has made In history or politics, or the circumstance that, failing the Brunswick line, it is the next Protestant branch of the royal family in succession to the crown of Scotland, it is certain that no title carries with it more of the veneration of the country than that of Hamilton." The history of the house of 'Hamilton Is interwoven with the romance of Scottish, French and English history for five centuries. The second Earl of Arran of this line was chosen Regent of Scotland in 1512, and was the next year declared heir-pre-sumptive to the crown. He was created Duke of Chatelherault by Henry II of France a dignitary which he subsequently surrendered to the French monarch, but which was confirmed to the twelfth Duke by decree in 1S64. This dukedom wa3 one of the oldest in France, perhaps the oldest; at least so the British Hamiltons claim. The Duke of Uzes is popularly believed to be the premier Duke, but the Hamiltons claim that the dukedom of Chatelherault was created twenty years earlier than that of the Uzes. This dukedom of Chatelherault is claimed by his Grace of Abercorn, the representative of the younger male line of the Hamiltons, as well as by the late Duke of Hamilton, the descendent of tho older female line. The Douglas-Hamlltons, however, have been recognized as the proper holders of the dukedom. The eleventh Duke of Hamilton got hold of the duchy by a clever dodge. With the object of putting an extinguisher on the Duke of Abercorn's claim he took advantage of his wife's near relationship to Napoleon III to induce the latter to grant him a Eatent recognizing him as the only true uke of Chatelherault and as the premier peer of France. The Emperor's right to do this, however, was contested by the Duke of Abercorn and ridiculed by the Faulbourg Saint German. Since then, however, some of the most distinguished French and English geneaologists and antiquarians have declared that it Is very doubtful whether the contested dukedom was ever created at all, since the records are exceedingly hazy and in no wise favoring the belief that even if it were really created it has ever descended to either of the two English dukes above mentioned. The young Duke of Uzes may. therefore, rest easy in the assurance that no valid claim can be put forward to deprive him of his position as premier peer of France. Besides this, the Chatelherault dukedom was not registered in due form when l.ouis NIV exacted that all his nobles should prove their right by family documents to the titles which they bore and should register them at court, their seniority ranking in the order of their registration. FIRST DUKE BEHEADED. The first Duke of Hamilton was beheaded for his loyalty to Charles I, having been taken at the battle of Preston. The second duke was slain at the battle of Worcester in the service of Charles II, and his niece and successor married the Earl of Selkirk and thus brought the peerage into tne Douglas family. This nobleman resigned his earldom to his third son and obtained tho Earldom of Orkney for his fifth son. The Dukes of Hamilton hold also the titles of Knight Marshal of Scotland and Hereditary Keeper of the palace of Holyrood. As the house of Hamilton is perhaps the most aristocratic in Great Britain, outside of the royal family, so, also, has it for the past two generations been also the most infamous. To the grandfather of the late Duke, notwithstanding the respectability of his habits, may not improbably be ascribed a great deal of the decadence of the house. A man of most prodigious pride, he thought nothing less than royal blood worthy of alliance with the house of Hamilton, and when the announcement of the Queen's marriage was made to him he expressed the opinion that her Majesty would have done better to have looked nearer home alluding, it was understood, to his own son. By his wife, Miss Beckford, daughter of tho celebrated author of "Vathek," he had two children. The fate of both has been most lamentable, and their children have, with a single exception, turned out miserably. The daughter married no doubt in fulfillment of the ambitious views of her father the late Duke of Newcastle, who will be remembered in this country as the Minister accompanying the Prince of Wales here. This marriage was dissolved on account of the misconduct of the Duchess, then Countess of Lincoln, with the Earl of Orford. There is a story current, whose truth cannot be vouched for. of how she met her eldest son under circumstances the most distressing that can be conceived. This said eldest son would be penniless, by reason of his extravagance, excepting for the property he enjoys through his wife, the illegitimate daughter of the late Mr. Hope, who inherited an immense fortune from his father, of the great Amsterdam house of. Hope & Co., which he left to the mother (whom he eventually married) of the Duchess of Newcastle. With one exception the career of the Duke's brothers has been most discreditable, and their names have been repeatedly before the public in connection with vice and extravagance. His only sister made a wretched marriage with Ixrd .Adolphus Vane Tempest. So much for the Duke of Hamilton's aunt and cousins. The late Duke's father, the eleventh Duke of Hamilton, wished, it is said, to have married early in life an exemplary lady, one of Queen Victoria's most intimate and valued friends; but although of 'a verj' ancient famllj', this lady (who afterwards married a duke was not deemed a fitting match for the Duke by h!s father, who vehemently opposed their union. Consequently, to satUfy the latter, he at length married the Princess Marie of Baden, a first cousin of the late Emperor Napoleon. This marriage led to his almost entirely residing abroad, a circumstance arising probably in no slight degree from the fact that the Duchess was not granted a precedency, which she deemed her due, at the English eourt, over all other duchesses. Paris, therefore, became peculiarly agreeable to her. It is well known that at the ouset of the second empire great difficulty was experienced In getting ladies of the right sort to come to the Tuileries. Here the Duchess of Hamilton was of great use to her cousins. The Duke's splendid lineage was such as even the Faubourg St. Germain was bound to admit; while, however they might sneer at the Duchess descent from the Condean attornej', there was no denying her being of the Royal house of Baden. The Duke and Duchess consequently became regular residents at Paris, and there the Duke died, under most distressimr; circumstances, in 1S?. He had been supping at the Maison Doree, and had a wager with Mr. Howard as to the numtier of petits verres which they could drink. The unfortunate Duke fell as he was leaving the house, and was carried home only to die. THE LATE DUKE. Since'the death cf the eleventh Duke the career of the family has been down hill. In l&M the present peer's only sister. Lady Mary. mads a miserable match with the Prince of Monaco, and presently became actually a fugitive from her husband. As to the late Duke himself, he was the best pigeon the late and great Mr. Padwirk ever had to pluck. The late Marquis of Hastings was a mere bagatelle compared with the premier Duke of Scotland. The late Mr. Henry Padwick was a personage before whom impecuneous Esaus positively trembled. The twelfth Duke of Hamilton having succeeded to hts titles and estates when a miner, took it into h!s head to sow, at the very outset of his career, a crop of wild oats so large ns to brinT him very soon to Padwick. That astute hawk recognized a pigeon of unprecedented plumpness, and took steps to get complete possession. There was at that time living a pompous old blockhead of a baronet. Sir Claude Soott, whose father hail been a

great merchant, on whose behalf Mr. Gladstone's father came on business to this country and laid the foundation of his future good fortunes at Liverpool. Sir Claude inherited a fine fortune, which he muddled away, and, among other undesirable acquaintances, fell In with Padwick. Padwick recommended thnt the Hamilton estate?, worth about C"o,WJ a year, should be vested In trustees. He then managed ta get Sir Claude, his catspaw. appointed one such trustee. Soon after the other highly respectable trustees resigned. Sir Claude remained, and took unto himself Padwick as cotrustee. Then Sir Claude died, and Padwick remained the sole master cf the situation, being further appointed commissioner of the estate. The Duke never bothered himself about business, but passed accounts and signed releases at Pad w ick's bid. In April. 1ST9. Padwick told the lanagent that yet more money must be raised. Now, Inasmuch as the debt on the estate had grown in a few years from $l..j(M.X,5 to J7.50o.000. the law agent remonstrated, and at length the Duke showed fight. He had given Padwick a discharse and JG).0X) for services, but averred that boti were procured by fraudulent misrepresentations', and that so far from his having been In anv way Indebted to Padwick. Padwick was indebted to him. The Duke accordingly 'brought sul: against Padwick In the Scotch court?, but it was suddenly terminated bv the death of the obnoxious Padwick. His executors were compelled to pay the Duke JCVOOO as a settlement. Meanwhile the Duke, having no Padwick to resort to, had resolved " realize a i'til ready cash by getting id of one of the finest libraries and art museum in the United Kingdom. It was :ioi a particuiai iy honorable or even creditable tep to take, but it could be sufficiently accounted for on the twofold hypothesis that his vir.ve was exceptionally in want of noiy, and entertained throughout his life a rcoud antipathy to books or art of any sor:. There was a certain air of court lin -;ss and I reeding about the tollies and extravaganceof his ancestors inknown 10 the late head of the house. Educated in France up to the age of eighteen. h came to England and went to Oxford with an astonishingly thin veneer of the Ci.'illic polish. His tastes Indeed were those ni thf typical Eng;i-h ncbleman, as he was depicted y Pru.ian satirists. He was devotM to :at k-liint'. dog fighting, badger baiting ami pugillm. He had a kind of grcio:i3 manner. ::nd he persistently id van el along the road to ruin in the most cheerful of tempers and in the best natured way.

Lord Charles Douglas Hamilton, was not exempt from the family's peculiarities. After a stormy and eccentric career he died at Nice in 1SS8 at the eaTly age cf tnlrty-r.me. Educated chiefly in France, ir 1801 he entered the Eleventh Hussars the famous . houb'rr s but the expensive vagaries of the members of that crack regiment were too mild for this precocious subaltern, who started upon a career of reckless extravagance which soon necessitated his departure from this corpe d'elite. Retiring to the continent, he for some years led a most erratic life, ever in debt and difficulty, first in one city, then In another, always prepared to fight the "best man" in the town, and always accompanied by a favorite bulldog of most alarming proportions. During his residence abroad he married an ex-leader of the demi-monde, the divorced wife of Baron Paskiewitch. In 1S.S3 he became a convert to the Roman Catholic Church and retired to a convent to do penance for his sins for the remaining years of his life. At the time of his death he was seeking a divorce from the ex-Baroness. On his death Ixrd Alfred Douglass became the heir presumptive to the honors, titles and dignities as well as the entailed estate of the Duke of Hamilton, whose personal property goes to his only daughter, his child by Lady Mary Louise Elizabeth, eldest daughter of the seventh Duke of Manchester. Ills marriage to this lady was very unexpected. Indeed, at the time gossip had it that he was a very dear friend of her mother, the present Duchess of Devonshire. Lord Alfred Douglas, who should not be confounded with Lord Alfred Bruce Douglas, of the Wilde case famo, served for a time In the royal navy, but resigned when he became lieutenant, having but little more than a mere pittance upon which to subsist. He is thirty-two years of age, quite nice looking, and a bachelor. The late Duke of Hamilton had two magnllleent country seats beside his favArite home on the Isle of Arran Hamilton Palace, I.anarkshire, and Easton Park, Suffolk. The Isle of Arran, two-thirds of which belongs to the Hamiltons, lies off the Firth of Clyde. It is about twentj'-six miles long by fifteen wdde. A correspondent thus recently described a visit to the Duke's home: "After exchanging greetings with your host, you perhaps sit for a few minutes and admire the magnificent view of sea and land which is spread out before you; but when you leave the boathouse to walk up to the Lodgre, which is not more than a hundred and fifty yards away, the eye rests upon a still fairer scene. Turning your back upon the coast of Argyllshire, you look up to the moorlands and mountains of Arran, and though Goat fell, which rises to a height of close upon three thousand feet. Is not visible from this side of the island, several of the other )eaks, which are almost as high, are seen in the distance, their lower sides clothed with purple heather and grass, which form in color a striking contrast to the dull gray tints of the mountains themselves. The house is quite devoid of pretensions to grandeur or state, being comparatively small, and having only one story. At the front, looking out upon the glen, are the dining and drawing rooms, comfortably but plainly furnished: and beyond a few pictures of noted horses and cattle which won prizes for the eleventh Duke, some clever caricatures of the late Duke's friends, and an endless array of cup wen by his hunters and harness horses at recent shows, there is nothing in them to excite any special curiosity. The entrance hall, the floor of which is covered with mats made from the skins of the stags whose antlers adorn the outside walls, separates these two rooms from the smokingroom, in which the Duke and his friends were wont to talk over the achievements of the day wdth gun. or rod. or rifle, and which has been the scene of many a merry and good-humored jest, especially when such choice raconteurs as Sir John Asltye and a few kindred spirits acemblev there. The two other rooms on the ground floor were occupied by the Duke himself, the rooms for the family and the guests being all on the floor above. Snsinlnrcl ly lulIie Opinion. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Dismay has overcome .tho Democratic gang that altered the tally-sheets by changing the vote against the Republican candidate for clerk, who was elected last November, and ad ling vote to the Democratic candidate. Since the verdict of the jury was rendered in the plea in abatement case public sentiment has rallied and almost universally Indosed the vindication of the court officials. .Deputy Sheriff John W. I-avell anl Clerk A. T. Fielding were charged with know'ngly, fraudulently and purpo?eIy refusing to serve a legally drawn juryman and empaneling a substitute in his stead. Deputy Sheriff Lea veil and Clerk Fielding are too well known for honesty, integrity and good citizenship for Fuch) a charge to be sustained against them. They are men of influence, an 1 their good character, responsibility and uprightness ii rerognlzed by all good citizens.. It was very easy to conjecture the result of the verdict by the overwhelming preponderance of evidence against the charges. Respectable Democrat", as well as Republicans, strongly uphold the verdict and the fight has now simmered down between the good people who believe in the purity of the ballot-box, free and honest elections and the corrupt gang that has for so many years held unllsputed sway in this county. Public sentiment also severely condemns the insulting aifidivit made by Monroe Hoover against Judge Kirkpitrlck. assigning reasons for a chsnge of venue. The Judge has been fair, honest and Impartial, and the Imputation that he was biased and prejudiced against the defendant so that he could r.ot give him justice was dishonorable anl an in.ult. The Ju.Jje is indignant, and his frlen lcritkis? the attorneys who caused the affidavit to be made. On the charge of fraud, the jury gave a stronger answer than was asked for. They Intimate that if a fraud was perpetrated that Josrph A. Moore, the Democratic Jury commli sioner, did it, for. the reason tht he drew the rxime of John M. I.ee and called It John V. Ixe. The argument on the finding of the. Jury will be mi'1e before Judge Stephenson, of Noblfsvllle, next Tuesday. It will be impos?Ible for the forgery case to come to a trial this term, and it will be continued until the September term. W. Tiptcn, Ir.d., May IS. Our auctioneer. Mr. R. V.
