II AUNTKO HOUSES.

The following beautiful poem from tho pen of our gifted fellow countryman Henry W. Lontr fellow, has manv times trone the rounds of the press, and from its intrinsic beauty, it will bear repeating here. It is not generally known that the author is a spiritist, but to one who reads the poem ''with the spirit and understanding also the fact is apparent in every line and stanza. Truly "The aplrit-worM, round this world of ours, Float! like u atmosphere. " Rev. Chas. Wesley pious and highly gifted non-Conformist divine and poet who flourished in England a little more than 100 years ago, breathed the same sentiment, when on his dying bod he broke forth in rapturous strain: "They're 'round my bed, they're ia the room They wait to bear my spirit home." "AU bouses wherein men hare lired and died, Are haunted houses. Through the open doors The harmless phaotorason their errands glide. With feet that make no sound upon the floors. "We meet th'iu at the door-way on the stair, Along the passages they come and go, Impalpable impresnions on the air, A sease of something moving to and fro. "There are more guests at table than the host InritfS, the illuminated hall Is thronged wilh quiet, inoffensive ghosts, As silent as the pictures on the wall. "Tbe Ktrauger at my fireside can not see The forms I see, uor hear the munds I hear, lie bat perceives what is, while unto me All that has been is visible and clear. "We have no title deeds to house or lands, Owner aul occupant! of earlier dates, From graves forgotten stretch thin dusty bands, Aud held in mortmain still their old estates. "The ipirit-world around this world of sense, Floats like an atmonhere, and every where. Warts thro' these earthly mists, ana vapors dense A vital breath of more etheral air, "Our little lives are kept in quipoise, By opposite attractions and desires; The struggle of the instinct that enjoys. And the more noble iutttlnct that aspires. "These pert ruba' ions, tl is perpetual Jar Of earthly wants and aspirations high, Come from the influence of an uuseen star, An undiscovered plauet in our sky. "And as the moon from ome dark gate of cloud, Throws o'er the sea a floating bridge of light Acros whose trembling planks our fancies crowd Into the realm of my sie y and night "So from the world of spirits there descends A bridge of light connecting it with this. O'er whose unsteady flavor, that sways and bends, ander our thoughts Above the dart abyai. Card From Ir. Watson. Editor Lkader Sir, your last issue contained a "reply to Dr. Watson" by some person signing himself ''One of the U. B. F.," which, looked at analytically, is certainly a curious compound of inconsistency and cheek, if nothing more, and under the law of any well-regulated Society, should condemn the writer to a diet of bread and water for daring to rush to its (the Society's) defense without signing his name; however, the cars of the animal were plain enough without any special direction thereto, giving his little eifort but a brief notice. We are first struck with his ascertiou that "time and duty prevented him from giving my card that notice which it deserved." Iow just what he meant by the paradoxical statement, is something that no fellow can find out. If he had qualified his statement by saying "Not having the time to spare, because of present duties," some sense might have been gotten out of his jargon. He finally comes to the point by asking "Why was it, as D. G. M. of the State, that the Doctor did not issue an order prohibiting the reunion on that day?" From the simple reason, as the whole State is aware, that such an order would have been not only unnecessary but an affront to the Governor himself, who had already anticipated the duty of every American citizen, by issuing a massage on the morning of the 4th, requesting an abstinence from all usual demonstrations on that day, and yet the creature who signs himself a U. B. Y. asks me why I dii not issue a message or proclamation, also as though the Governor's authority was not sufficient to regulate the actions of citizens of the State, without tho interference of any one man or set of men. Besides, forgetting that it is a fundamental principle underlying the structure of all secret societies that no law or set laws shall be fulminated, nor message, order, address or proclamation issued or promulgated that would in any sense or manner clash with the civil laws of the Commonwealth as the duties of federal citizens. Anybody of good moral character, and complying with certain exactions, can become a United Brother of Friendship, or an Udd reliow, or a member of the Masonic fraternity, and on ordinary occasions must be controlled by the laws of such organ iza tions; but on extraordinary occasions either in times of war or peace, their duty to the country or State in which thev reside takes rank and precedence above all other obligations and, must bo respected and valued accordingly. Or to make the matter more clear, supposing I had issued an order on the day in question prohibiting tho reunion, what effect would Puch an order have had coming from me? Would it have added to the authority of tho Governor any? If not, why issue such au order? But some say that the Governor did not make a demand, but s'mply made a request, which is true: and if other good citizens could respect the re quest why could we not do the same? Must we be driven or ridiculed into it like a pack of heathens or outlaws I Serr.per Paratus, Dr. Thomas N. Watson, D.O. M. Grand Kxcuraion to Minnesota. un August tne lutn a grand excursion from Cincinnati to St. Paul, Minnesota and return will bo given over the Kankakee line.

White Teachers In Colored Schools, Our article of last week on the present management of the publicschools of this city has elicited quite a large ammpunt of com ment and inquiry from our readers. There is universal condemnation of the unsatisfac tory manner in which appointments are made; and not a few of our readers are very much surprised to know that No. 19 school for colored children, located in the Southeastern part of the city, is in control of white teachers. All regard it as verv pecu liar that Messers. Brown, Tarbell and Carey should discriminate in favor of white teachers in the colored schools. Tarbell, having come from some lumber village up in Michigan, it is thought that his early prejudices against intelligent colored people have not yet been overcome by metropolitan contact, and thesefore he has little confidence in the ability of colored teachers to give instruction, especially when a second-rate white teacher is about and out of a job. Indeed, it is said

he exprofiStiS himself to this effect. The colored peoplo of this city think that the prejudices of Messrs. Tarbell, Brown and Carey, against the employment of colorod teachers, is not only unwise and unjust, but highly impolitic, when the good of tho schools is considered. Colored parents may educate their children in the High and Training

schools, but if they want to teach.they must, as a rule, go out of the city. This is doubly annoying when it is remembered that an ed ucfited colored boy or girl can obtain no respectable employment about an office or business house. If a colored boy should go to the office or store of Messers. Tarbell, Brown or Carey, in answer to an advertisement for a clerk, he would be told very quickly that a white boy was wanted. If the best qualified colored teacher in the country were to apply for appointmrnt in the white schools of this city, the application would be contemptuously rejected. Indeed, we have been informed that one of the teachers now employed in the colored schools was once "dropped" from the roll of teachers in the white schools, shortly after the accidental discovery of an admixture of African and Caucascian blood in said teacher. Messers. Brown, Tarball and Carey are evidently trying to make progress by going backwards, a fact that they will probably discover after a while. NO NEGROES WANTED. A Case that Needs the Attention of the Governor. A special dispatch to the Times from Leavenworth, Crawford county, discloses a condition of affairs in that county which calls loudly for the interference of -the State authorities; and if they can do nothing, the U. S. authorities should be called in. It seems that contractors on the L., N. A. and St. L. railroad, hired colored laborers to go into Crawford county and work on the construction of that road. But it having been asserted by certain disorderly roughs that Negroes would not be allowed to come into tho county to work on the road, the contractors went to Leavenworth and sought the aid of the c unty officials in protecting their laborers. To their great surprise, they were informed by these individuals that it was true that the colored laborers would not be allowed to come in the county, and they could afford no protection to them. As a consequence the railroad building is stopped for the present. This news sounds Etrango for the year 1881, and in a State,too, north of the Ohio river. It is a gross outrage and Governor Porter should see to it that laborers, white or black, are protected in their rights on every inch of Indiana soil. Duncan Thornton. A lively little row occurred last Saturday evening on West .North street which has caused not a little comment and much bad blood. It seems that Officer Thornton while on duty was met by Mary Duncan who charged him with making remarks derogatory to her character. Considerable talk followed, and the officer's wife was spoken of in not very complimentary terms Thornton remarked that his wife was not in tne quarrel and requested that she be not spoken of in such a manner. The objection able remarks were repeated three or four times, and the efScer, assuming that it was his duty to protect the good name of his family, gave in return three pretty sharp lore a justice and leading guiltv to assault. was fined, jlonday morning a second war rant was sworn out against him in Justice Thompson's Court, and he was fined the second time ior tne same onense, an un heard of proceeding. An appeal was taken and tho end is not yet. Off for Cleveland. Gethsemane Comandery Kight Templars will leave the Union Depot at noon of Tuesday, the fJth day of August, to attend the encampment which is held in Cleveland this year. They will take part in the grand prize drill and express sanguine hopes of being able to capture the grand prize. Al those wishing to accompany the Com. mandery on this pleasant trip can do so at the low" rate of $5 50 xor the round trip. This gives the public an opportunity to visit one of trie most beautilul cities of the West, and a chance to gaze upon the clear and placid waters of historic Lake Erie. In order to go at these low rates tickets must be purchased at or before noon of Monday, August 8th. Tickets can be procured of llenry Moore, at Denison House barber shop, Charles E. Bailey, 56 Indiana avenue, and J. W. Steward, 1'ostomce. A lively tussel took place between two clothing drummers (so called) on South Illinois street Thurday, which created considerable excitement and much merriment among business men in the vicinity of the Illinois and Louisiana street crossing. It appears that Adolph Kahn, a clothing proprietor, and Wm. H. Snyder, a drummer (?) for Alnieyer, an opposition house, while standing upon the sidewalk on the look-out for "customers," an early morning train brought in a seedy looking individual, upon whom the two pounced at about one and fhe same time. It was evident that the ruralist was in search of a "hand rue down suit," and alter a struggle lasting some minutes, in which the countryman was hustled about like a foot-ball, Snj'der pulled away and struck Kahn a stunning blow on the forehead, knocking him out of time. Taking advantage of the difficulty between the two clothiers and finding himself at liberty, the "customer luckily escaped up the street. Kahn had Snyder before the Mayor yester day for assault and battery, and after a trial by jury lasting over two hours, a verdict was returned against Snyder, fining nini $10 and costs. It seems as if all the burglars and cut throats have emigrated to this country to carry on their avocation. Only last week the Sentinel was called upon to chronicle the killing of a bold burglar, near Greenwood, by Mrs. Hurt On Monday night about 12 o clock four masked men went to the residence of John Marvel, near Traders' Foint, a little village some twelve miles north of this city. They gained entrance to the house by prying open a window. After getting into the building they went to the room of Hans Wilkins, the brother-in-law of Mr. Marbel, who is about sixty-five years of age. . Thev put a revolver to his head and demanded his money. He told them he had none, when they attempted to bind his hands. Though quite old, Mr. Wilkins is yet robust, and showed fight, when he was knocked in the head and pitched out ot the window, a distance of ten feet. His head struck a rock, which cut a long gash in the scalp, and left him unconscious. The burglars then went to the room of Mr. Marvel and bound him and his wife. As Mr. Marvel is about seventy-seven years of age, he made but little resistance. After securing the old gentleman and his wift the thieves made him surrender all the money which he had, which amounted to $C35, telling him that if he did not give it up they would kill him. After securing the money they gagged the old people and left. In about an hour after the departure of the villains Wilkins revived sufficient to go to the house of James Dickson, some three-quartes of a mile way and he and several other men went to Mr. Marvel's assistance, untied him and remained with him until morninp. when they came to this city and informed the police of the afrair. The burglars were undoubtedly in a wagon, as tracks of one were found near the house. Basket Meeting. The congregation of Coke Chapel will hold basket meetihg on the first Sunday in August, at Broad Kipple. A large crowd and an interesting meeting ia anticipated.

KYEBYE1 EPIIRAIJI

. I Can't Stand It Any Longer. Quite a sensation was created iu tho central portion of the city Wednesday, by the queer actions of a young white girl, who, it seems, has . become tired of life s uneven ways, and therefore wanted to die and leave this unhappy world to its own sad fate. The girl's name is Howard, and for some "unaccountable" reason, has became desperately infatuated with a colored janitor whose first name is Ephraim. Now Ephraim, be it knom, is a married man, and if he wa3 the first to encourage the tender passion between himself and this young lady, he is guilty of a very reprehensible act, for which ho can find no justification, either in the moral, religious or legal sense. If,on the other hand Ephraim, voluntarily and with malice prepence, deliberately allowed the sweet dulcet strains of impassioned young love to be poured into his willingly recipitive ear drum, by this young lady, he was still guilty of a grave indiscretion. Viewed from any conceivable standpoint, Ephraim has not been an en tirely discreet man. We do not believe in a man flying when no man persueth, and neither do we believe that any man espec ially a married man should allow himself to lie around in a loose, defenceless manner, liable to be pounced upon by any designing female who may be out on the hunt of some one to love and caress. Men should be very careful of themselves in a town like this, where there are so many snares to lead them from the pathways of virtue. The immediate incidents which lead to the disclosure outlined above, were the appearance of he woman in the case at a drug store, where she purchased a phial of laudnum, but not without being told it was poison. She left the following note on tho counter to be delivered to the man implicated in the case: ''Dear Eph I saw you last night talking to your wife and some other girl. I have ( ince seen your wife and talked with her,and I can't stand it any longer. I will wait for you until 10 o'clock to-night to call on me, or I will take a dose of laudnum." Signed "Bye-Bye." ''Dear Eph," upon being informed of these facts, immediately "lit out" after his new "mash," and soon retnrned with the poison inlact, thus preventing the reckless and sanguinary self-destruction of tba unhappy woman: 'Iheendisnot yet, but we'll bet a nick that between the home folks and the new "mash," Ephraim is in boiling hot water. Killed by a Woman. A burglar from this city named Cook, called at a toll gate on the turnpike between this city and franklin, and after compel! ing the woman who kept the gate, Mrs. Mary Hurt, to give him what money she had, he demanded her revolver. She se cured her ''Bulldog" and gave it to him in a manner he little dreamed of. She dis -i ... . cnargsa ine weapon, tne Dan passing through the door and striking the villain in the head, killing him almost instantly. No arrests.

Cheap John, from Texas, Thursday morning left hiscoat hanging at the East Market, in the pocket of which there was $100 in currency and $1,800 in notes. The coat was returned by a boy named Isaac Rothschild, who was rewarded for being an honest boy by a glass of "pop." The Odd Fellow lodges of the city have very kindly offered to turn ot in procession to-morrow and aid the Bethel Church people in raising money for tho Church. Bells' cornet band have volunteered their services free of charge. "We are under obligations to Mr. Elmore Thompson, of 49 Indiana Avenue for the loan of a bound volume of the "New World." published in New York in 1843: also two books of very old and valuable poems. Fifty-two of the striking cigar makers have returned to work, leaving sixty-two remainins out. Some twenty of the strikers have left the city, going to other places, where they have obtained work. The picnic of citv officials, Councilmen and Aldermen, will come off at the Southern Park on Tuesday, from 3 o'clock p. m. until y o clock, ine uniform rank Knighte of Pythias will give a drill. We have been told by a Postoffice official that Richard Adams, of the carrier force, is climbing right up the ladder of efficiency. Dick attends strictly to business.

we take more because we want more. The faculty of being able to sleep at any time or place amount to a positive talent and is well worth cultivating. An engineer has been known to fall asleep within a boiler, while his fellows were beating on the outside with their ponderous hammers, and the repose of a miller is not incommoded by the noise of his mill, Men have been known to fall asleep amid the thunders of a battle. Some of the great generals, whose names are familiar to us. have had a wonderful power of eleepin g, for a few moments, even on the battlefield. 'The Duke of Wellington, just before the attack of SW Sebastian, in Spain, found that the breaching batteries would not be ready to open the attack for two hours. "The beet thing we can do,'' paid "Wellington, 'is to sleep," and slipping olf his horso into a trench he was asleep in an instant. Napoleon, at the very crisis of the important battle of "NVagram, ordered up his reserve, which be neyer did except in great emergencies. Confident that the movement would bo carried out, and would insure the victory, ho ordered his bear-skin to be spread on the ground and in a moment hg was in a deep sleep, which lasted for about twenty minutes, when he awoke greatly refreshed. A good sleeper is generally an efficient person. Many whose nervous sys tems have become deranged die simply from inability to sleep. In order to enjoy a re freshing sleep, it is necessary that the blood bo not concentrated in the head, but be diffused equallv through all parts of the body. This i3 probably the reason why a warm bath just before going to bed is so conductive of a good night's repose. Tho mind should be kept perfectly calm and quiet, as excitement is sleep's death blow. "Did you call your brother a liar?" asked the stern parent, and the culprit replied, "Well, I said he was a sewing machine agent." BUSINESS DIRECTORY.
