The Dally News haa the largest circulation of any paper in Indiana, and is road In nearly every town and village tributary to Indianapolis. If thk Sentinel's teachings were carried out, no man's life or property would be safe.

Omaha is having an excitement par* allel to the disappearance of Charley Ross. This time it is a little girl. Seckstaby Evaktb will have an opportunity of exercising his stiff-lipped foreign policy, if the reputed attack on a Massachusetts whaler by a Spanish cruiser be true.

The workingmen effectually repudiate their would-be-organ, the communistic Sentinel, which has ground and oppressed its own employes for the last two years. If the Sentinel's communistic teachings were adopted, the hard-working man who had saved enough to live on during the evening of his days, would k>e forced to give it up to the first man Who had strength enough to take it, or Iq an organized mob. The Sentinel whines about “financial embarrassments "as a reason why it does not pay its workmen, but its stockholders, most of whom are rich, appealed to a higher court when sued by poor men, and all the while the dishonest organ claims to be the particular “friend of labor.”

Wheh Secretary Evarts in his speech at Windsor, Vermont, said “that he “hoped the time had arrived when we “should no longer feel that there was “any north or south, bat that we had “one country which was inseparable," the people, cheered as if it had bees .Virginia or South Carolina. The Workingmen’s Industrial Union of Ohio will have a convention next month for the nomination of a state ticket. After the “national labor bu“reau” resolution of the Cleveland, convention and the speeches of Judge West this may be said te be “a lee tie •‘rough” on the republicans. The Sentinel doesn’t say anything more nbout endorsing Caven and Williams. Probably it has had enough of endorsements. It would have made by laving the amount the sham “workingmen’s •‘meeting” cost it, and applying it on its debt te its own poor workmen, who have been kept out of their honest dues for months, and will only get about half after all. They are having a sort of sober and Strictly proper carnival at Lake Chautauqua. Lectures from religious to scientific, concerts, recitations and the like, go to make up an entertainment as unique as it is profitable. It is a break »way from the regulation camp meeting Bud a healthful deviation from a schoolteacher’s convention or scientific congross, combining the good features of all and will doubtless bear many repetitions.

The war news puts the Bnssiansin Kustendji, leaves them awaiting reinforcements in the valley of the Jantra previous to attacking the Torks at Plevna again, intrenches them in the Balkans, and has them whipped in Asia Minor. The czar is still with the army amd will remain until the reinforcements which are passing through Roumania amount to a new army of 180,000 mea, and then a decisive result is to be extracted from the campaign this year before bad weather sets in.

The Sentinel appeals for support to men who de business and have property. Without their help it could not run a day. But the doctrine it is preaching and the class it is abetting would destroy property, by refusing it any protection whatever.. It calls itself the “friend of labor" when it ia advocating doctrines that wonld destroy the rights of labor, pnt an end to the opportunities for labor and leave men to wander over the earth like savages. This ia the sheet that asks support from the business men of Indianapolis, and at the same time makes war upon every interest and bond of society.

In his Oregon speech Senator Morton said:

yoang man'* education. When the rebellion came on they determined to aeoede; they in* auted they had the risbt to withdraw at plow ure; that they cane in ▼olant&r:ly'and>onld go put voluntarily. South Carolina could go out by the fame proceai that ahe came in. Virginia could do the aame thins. That doctrine

ia being taught in the south to day.

• While he was making this speech, Wade Hampton was addressing a crowd of “ex-rebels” in Virginia#and he said:

"Let the people of the Nerth remember thu: Wereeognite that the Union is restored; we recognise the Conititution of the United States. And when I say that I mean tho Constitution with all itaamencLmenta. We have surrendered in good faith. The Southern States now ask for equal laws. Let Maine be pnt on a par with gontta Carolina. Regard Louisiana as rondo Massachusetts and yon will find no men ia the Union who will stand by the Constitution of the United States more loyally than the

men of the South,'’

It is very doubtful if any human precautions can shut oat and wholly escape any contagious evil, whether of disease, insect ravages, or stock disorders. The mischief seems to hover in the air and travel with the winds, and legislative exclusions and quarantines have no more effect in stopping it than in stopping a thunderbolt. Ten years ago the English parliament debated with deep interest and at nnusnal length the means to exclude the cattle disease, then ravaging the northern part of the continent, and to prevent its diffusion if it could not be excluded. John Stuart Mill made his firet appearance in parliament with an amendment to this bill. It was very futile statesmanship. The disease got in and played havoc with English pasture and cattle stables. Repeated attempts have been made to keep the cholera out, but it always got in if it wanted to. Sometimes it dodges a place, but the helpless quarantines of other invaded places show that the evasion was a mere -chance, not an exclusion effected by civil regulations. There are standing quarantine regulations at all the Oriental porta, and all the Mediterranean ports in fact, to gnard against the plague wnich seems to make its home at Alexandria in Egypt, but they amount to little beyond torturing passengers by keeping them as close aboard the vessel as if they were in jail, in a heat that often reaches and lies steady at 100°. Within the present year Germany has been issuing writs and making statutes against the admission of the “Colorado beetle” into that country. Directions have been sent to the consuls to see that the orders are executed.! A lively apprehension of a famine if the potato crop should be rnined or greatly damaged kept vigilance alert and energy at the hignest pressure; yet the “Colorado beetle” got in, so the dispatch says, and on Thursday had covered twenty-five acres in Langenreichenbach—any people with so little to do that they can spend half their time in pronouncing the name of their town, onght to have a bug visitation to startle them out of their sluggishness—and once so well spread as that, they will be as hard to “stamp out’ as a piairie fire in high grass. Itianotatall clear that all precautions, preventives, prophylactics, are not a waste of time and money. The evil will get in through a wedge of bayonets and a wall of statutes, and being inevitable, why would it not be prudent to quit trying exclusion and apply all the means to remedies and alleviations? The potato bug can be killed off, as it has been in portions ot trans-Mississippi country, but it can’t be kept out. The grasshopper could be killed and cleaned out, but he couldn’t be kept out The contagion will get in if it dies out in a week after entering. Human power is very weak against these agencies that approach in diffueicn, in magnitude, and in relentless energy the natural forces of the earth, its rains and frosts and summer heat.

aijtiva it usufuaa. The subtle relationship between high temperature and evil deeds affords the acute thinker of the Philadelphia Bulletin an opportunity to pounce upon the dog-star, and if he does not point a moral with him he certainly adorns a tale. A fearful tail he shows it to be, too, stretching through all the ages and stack as full of crimes as an earthly dog’s is of burs after a rabbit hunt. Whether or not this is just to the dogstar, certain it is that in the days when evil most abounds he is always present winking and blinking from the southern sky. In the cowardly crime ot suicide the baleful effects of Sirius may be traced in the steady increase from tho month of December, when self-mnrder touches its minimum, to midsummer, when it reaches its maximum. Statistics in France for years show this to be the unvarying course. To be sure the record shows that the increase is with the length of days, that no suicides are eommitted after night; but that proves nothing; Sirins shines by day as well as night. Without this, however, the Bulletin’s list is long enough. It was to the influence of the dog-star that the seven sleepers of Ephesus went off in their nap of two hundred years and odd. What else? They fell asleep in July, 250, of the Christian era—the month of the dog star. This was death— the death of martyrdom, too—for they were canonized for it. So likewise in different years, but always in July, Procopius, Processus and Phocas chose to become the seed • of the chnrch by fornisbing the blood of martyrs. It was in July 1376 that the Pied Piper of Hamelln immortalised by Robert Browning made way with the rata of the old German

town of Hamel in a manner that wonld

have brought his death in China, and then made way with the close-fisted burghers' children for pay. It was in July 1540 that England made her first fierce protest against fendalism in the Norfolk commotion. In July 1716 were the Mug house riots which came to a sudden termination when the ring leader was shot by a blunderbuss in the hands of a Mug house man. It was in July, 1789, that the bastile was captured and torture’s iron grip first losened from the laws of France, In July, 1793,Charlotte Corday stabbed Marat and on the 28th the memorable 10th Thermidor, St. Just, Robespierre and others as infamous but less renowned, met well merited deaths. In July, 1835, Louis Phillippe was assaulted by the infernal machine. In July that battle of Boyne was fonght which has made each succeeding July the time when American citizens of Irish descent punch one another’s head for the honor and glory of protestantism and Catholicism. It is in July that * the “glorious fourth” comes, and though we all know this is to be classed among the glorious good deeds and not as a crime, the barbarous small boy has so marked that day since the first one by burned cities and loss of life, that we may make Sirius responsible for it. It was in July, the one jost gone, that the labor riots came. Not to lengthen the list it is very apparent that this is Sirius business. What are we going to do about it? Is this incendiary star to come year after year, making July a time of violence, disorder, distress? That he is the cause is certain. We rejuson thus nowadays: Sirius comes at a certain time, the troubles come at the same time, ergo, Sirius makes the troubles. Therefore it is resolved that Sirius shall be elimiinated; that the laws of nature conflicting with this are of no consequence whatever. That the order of the universe shall be changed, and that in the wreck of matter and the crash of worlds whicn may follow, this orb is not to be touched. The equilibrium of all forces pertaining to us are to be undisturbed. The sun is to shine by day and the moon by night. There is to be seed time and harvest, whether or not the laws by which these things are now.are disturbed by the elimination of Sirius. As men are resolving equally reasonable things in economic matters just now, why not

in this?

A:»op’» Sable xxxvil. LCraxal’g translation.]

In former days, when thebelly and the other

self, and in the name of the whole, took exception to the conduct ot the belljr, and were resolred to print him supplies no lonper. They said they thoupht it very hard that he should lead an idle, good-for-nothing life, spending and squandering away upon his own ungedly puts all the fruits of their labor, and that, in short, they were resolved for the future to strike ofi'nis ailowanoe and let him shift for himself as well as he eould. The bands protested they would not lift np a finger to keep him _ from starving, and the mouth

wished he might never speak again it betook in thelcast bit ot nourishment for him so long as he lived: and, said the teeth, “may we be rotten if ever we chew a morsel for him in tho future." This solemn league

bone and could hold out no longer. Then they found there was no doing without the belly, and that as idle and insignificant as he seemed he contributed as much to the maintenance and welfare of all .the other parts as

they did to his.

This fable was spoken by Merenius Agtippa, a famous Roman consul and general, when he waa deputed by the senate to appease a dangerous tumult and insurrection of the people. The many wan that nation was engaged in &n,d the freqnent supplies they were obliged to raise bad so soured and inflamed the minds of the popnlace that they were resolved to endure it no longer and obstinately refused to pay the taxes which were levied upon them. It is easy to discover how the great man applied this fable for if the branches and members of a community refuse the government that aid which its necessities require, the whole must perish together. The rulers of a state, as idle and insignificant as they may sometimes seem, are just as necessary to be kept up and maintained in a proper and decent grandeur as the family of each private person is in a condition suitable to itself. Every man's enjoyment of that little which he gains by bis daily labor depends upon the government’s being maintained in a condition to defend

and secure him in it.

A Valuable Invention. Wm. W. Hubbard, of Manchester, New Hampshire, has made an invention- of importance to all machinists, being an arrangement for throwing a belt off or on a main shaft, and thus avoiding the ose Of loose pulleys, which require a great deal of oil and considerable watching, since the friction they produce is a very frequent cause of fires in buildings where machinery is used. Much strain and wear of the halt are also saved, as the belt when not in use rests by Mr. Hubbard’s machine on a concentric stationary shell, instead of being constantly in motion, as in the old arrangement. A loop attached to an annular shell draws the belt off the driving-pnlley and deposits it on the shell The annular ring, embracing the other edge of the belt, pushes it back to its position on the pulley. Driving pulleys need now be only half their former width, or as wide as the belt The contrivance ia easily, instantaneously and safely operated, and there is a saving of power, as the bearings of both shafts are relieved of pressure. The invention has been thoroughly tested.

The Vanderbilt Uift,

[New York special.]

The employee of the New York Central A Hudson river railroad will soon get the benefit of the $100,000 promised them by Wm. H. Vanderbilt The amount was to be divided equally according to their position on the payroll among ell the employes, excepting executive and departmental officers and such as were not di-

rectly engsged in operating the road. The apportioament of this sum was placed in the hands of Isaac P. Chambers, the general auditor. He has completed it and says that out of the 11,001 men 8.904 will participate in the gift The division, as made by him, gives the passenger conductors each $20, train baggagewisn $10, brakemen $9. freight conductors $15, engineers $30, firemen $15, flagmen $3, switchmen, $9, laborers and watchmen, $7, mechanics $4, foreman $16, track foreman $11, all others, $9. This is just about equivalent to three months redaction of

Iliad, xv til; afh*.

A* when a smoke from a city goes to heaven Far off from out an island eirt by foes. All day the men conterd in grievous war. From their own city, and with set of snn Their fires flame thickly, and aloft the glare Fires streaming, if perchance the neighbors 'round May see, and sail to help them In the war; So from bis head the splendor went to heaven, from wall to dike he stept. he stood, nor join’d The Achmans—honoring his wise mother's word-

B’own by the fierce beleaguerers ot a town. So rang the clear voice of .Sakides. And when the brazen cry of -Eakides Was heard among the Trojans, all their hearts Were troubled, and the foil maned horses whirl’d The chariots backward, knowing grief athand; And sheer astounded were the charioteers To see the dread, unweariable fire That always o’er the great Peleioa’s head Burnt, for the bright-eyed goddess made it burn. Thrice from the dike be sent his mighty shout. Thrice backward reel'd the Trojans and allies; And there and then twelve of their noblest died Among their spears and chariots. —[Alfred Tennyson.

“SCRAPS.” George Sand, in the opinion of her doctor, died of strong coffee. It takes all of Secretary Evarta’s salary to pay his house rent.

A professed philanthropist is going around in eastern cities teaching street car conducters how to beat the bell punch. He enly asks the royalty of $5 a week from each graduate. Jim Fisk used to say that Jay Gould was a bad bed-fellow.' “He gets his back against the wall and his feet against the small of yonr back, and away you go out into the cold. He has the coldest feet of any man I know." A narrow gauge railroad two feet wide, between Billerica and Bedford, Mass., will soon be finished. Its passenger oars, now building at Laconic, New Hampshire, will have a row of single seats on each side. The road is eight miles and a half long and will cost about $50,000, or less than $6,000 per mile, only one-eighth of the cost of ordinary railroads. Robert Dale Owen was both married and buried by a Presbyterian minister. When making, before his death, arrangements for his funeral, he said, “Mr. Huntington married me and may as well bury me; ’tis true we do not think alike on all theological points, but we worship the same God, and hope to live in the same heaven.’’ * For several months back workmen have been engaged in taking down the great Corliss engine—“the pulse of the Centennial”—in Machinery hall, and packing it in boxes for remeval to Providence, R. I. It is now ready for transportation thither, and about seventy cars will be required to carry the monster, it boilers and all other appendages.—[Philadelphia Star. The Rev.»Dr. McCosh of Princeton college tells a story of a negro who prayed earnestly thathe and his colored brethem might be preserved from their “upsettin’ sins.” “Brudder,” said one of his friends at the close of the meeting, “you ain’t got de hang ob dat ar word.

The Gnna of RustchulC SUeneeA—No Eroopect of an Immediate Ena-age-Miens, The Russian army has occupied Euatendji. There are no signs of either the Turkish army or the fleet. Hobart Pasha is not in command of the Turkish fleet, but is retained at Constantinople. Jealousy of the native officers will keep him for distinguishing himself. ' The Russian bombardment of Rustr chock continues. Two hundred shells have fallen in the town and twenty persons have been killed. A Russian recondaltering party has been repulsed near the river Lorn. A part of the Dobrndacha force has already passed through Roumonia and again crossed the Danube about ten milea north of Rostchuk; bat operations on the other aide are delayed by rain, which has rendered all the roads practically impassible for artillery and trains. Advices from Bucharest and Siatova show that the Russians have made no preparation against bad weather. Even the Bat sandy island, over which is an approach of a mile long to the pontoon bridge, shows no sign of road-making, although hundred of infantry soldiers have idled away the time there for several months. It is now a mass of mud. fit On Saturday the Russians, numbering 35.0CO infantry, ten regiments of cavalry, and 110 gnus, attacked Mukhtar Pasha along the whole lice, extending from Msgarajikh to Yokinler. The cannonade began at seven in the morning, and at six in the evening the Russians retreated in good order to their encampment, pursued by the Turks. The Turks lost 165 killed and wounded and the Rnssians 1,200. The delay of hostilities at Plevna is said to be caused by a determination to make the engagement when it comes the most decisive of the war. The Turks hold wonderfully strong positions, but Osman Pasha is nevertheless in a difficult situation, because the numerous cavalry a^ tached to the Russians confronting him completely cut off his communication with Sofia and capture his convoys of ammunition and provisions. It will probably be three weeks before the decisive battle will take place.

- Heavy Haul of Forger*. A wealthy and respectable dealer in stocks in Chicago, named Stevens, Hon. Nelson A. Gresner, a weal thy man of Minnesota, and E. P. Weston, of Chicago, have been arrested charged with being a part of a gang of forgers. On examining Greener’s trunk, after his arrest, it was found to contain a large assortment ol implements necessary to his profession, including microscopes, acids, brushes, pens and tracing implements. In Weeton’s possession were found a number of washed drafts, on which everything had been obliterated by add except the cashier’s signature. When dealing in drafts it was the enstom to bny them for small amounts and then obliterate, with acid, all ink marks except the cashier’s name. Before this was done, however, a careful erasing waa taken. Then, when the larger amounts were written in on tne face of the draft, they had on the tracing a fac simile of number of the tellers ana of the figures which where used in the greater amounts. In dealing in checks, they would le&ru from some one in a bank or office of a firm depositing in a particular bank, just how the deposit account stood, in order not to overdraw the account It is said that some forged checks have been drawn for snms as high as $75,000. Developments so far indicate that these men are part of an organized gang of the most dangerons forgers that has existed for years. It is estimated that they have swindled various banks out of millions of dollars. In January last the Third National bank of New York was defrauded out of $27,000 by means of checks purporting to have been drawn by Winslow, Lanier & Go. About tbe Same time a check for $40,000, purporting to have been drawn by tbe New York Life Insurance company, on the Union Trust company, of New York, was presented and paid. There had been other similar operations known, but never made public.

A VI(ktake. [Cincinnati Gazette.] A double paper currency ie a mistake. It should be all greenbacks or all national banks. The greenback has served its purpcse.

It wonld be simply the renewal of the obligation.

Eocomotlve Explosion. A locomotive on the Hannibal and St. Joseph railroad, while coaling at the depot at 8t. Joseph yesterday morning, exploded her boiler. Joseph Snyder, fire man. horn Flora, Illinois, was terribly scalded and died in a few hoars. Wm. Conger, engineer, was badly scalded. Ben. Pratt, foreman of the yard, was blown twenty feet in the air, bat not seriously hurt.

Shocking Condition of Public Institutions. Dr. Chancellor, secretary of the Marylend board of health, reports to Governor Carroll npon tbe condition of the alms institutions of the state, that it is painful to witness the shocking condition in which many of the public institutions were found, and it is difficult to conceive that anything worse ever existed in a civilized country.

'Labor Troubles. Tbe ship-wrights and spar-makers of the Brooklyn navy yard have struck against a redaction of wages from $3.50 to $3 per day. The striking employee of the silk mill at Newark, N.

fftre in the Black Hills. The town of Grayville, two milea from Deadwood, was almost entirely destroyed by fire Saturday morning. Only one or two bouses were saved. There being no water for fire purpoeea, the flames spread rapidly, and in three honn destroyed about two hundred bouses. Total loss ettimated at $60,000. No insurance.

Jay Gould Again. [New York Graphic.] Jay Gonld has more nerve and pluck than any man who ever entered Well street, fie has good common sense, but he is to this day careless of his accounts, and il is understood by his friends, that be has no means of knowing how much or how little he is worth. His alliance with Fisk was fortunate for him, as Fisk had those aggressive, obtrusive qualities which Gonld lacked. He could plan end scheme, while Fisk could exeents; and of course their bookkeepers could keep them intermed about their complex buaineea affair*. It is understood that Mrs. Gould ia a very estimable lady, and ia now the mother of e large family. Gould, it is said, has amply provided her with means to insure her against the riska of of his very risky business.

The Balance ef Trade In Gold* The statistics of the imports and exports of gold of England for the first half of the present year are exceedingly interesting. They show that white in six months of 1875 England imported $26,125.000 worth more of gold than she ex ported.' and that during the same period in 1876 there wss a like excess of Imports amounting to $29,110,000, during the first six months of 1877 her exports of this metal exceeded her imports by $17,250,000.

The Channels of Exit From the human system bear the lame relation to it as sewers are to a city. They carry off the waste, the refuse which it is essential to remove in order to prevent disease. One of the most sslutary effects of Hostetler's Stomach Bitters Is to reflow activity of the bowels when these omens are dereliet in their duty. The bilious and dyspeptio symptoms which accompany constipation are also remedied by this sterling alterative. Its gently cathartic aotion has the effect of remofing imparities which would otherwise poison the system and its tonio influence is exhibited in an increase in vital power. It renews appetite, soothes and invigorates the ntrvej, prevents and remedies malarial fever, and is a first-rate remedy for despondency. ta ot
