EDITORPal MATTEB NTS I1,&ERTBI) A8 The Daily New* has the largest circulation of any paper in Indiana, and is read in paarly every town and village tribatary to Indianapolis. Now it in Brigham Young who is not expected to live. $*nator Mobton will get well. Another democratic defeat Gen Terry will probably have to in* terview Sitting Bull alone. Thx reports from New York, Chicago and St. Louis are that the prospects for a large fall trade are extraordinarily •good. Tax Turkish outrage bureau is busy again. It is to be hoped the powers will hearken to Turkey’s story and make an attempt to end the cruelties, beginning with Turkey. Thx Potomac at Washington is like the Danube at Rustchuk. The northern bank is Sat and marshy, the southern high and finK. Washington is on the flat and marshy side and the causeway of the long bridge, throwingHhe channel against the Virgj^ia shore, is yearly increasing the stretch of marshes from Georgetown to the eastern branch Some of the local papers are urging the building of a sea-wall to make a river front and the filling in ot the intermediate space till it is made habitable, thereby increasing the health and extent of the city. In a few years congress will be besieged for an appropriation. Thx assistant secretary of the treasury predicted a few days ago that gold would touch 103 by September 1st and reach par by January 1st. The first part of his prediction is almost filled, gold reaching 103} Saturday. May he not be as trne a prophet for the other assertion? If we should find ia buying Christmas presents that a greenback promise of a dollar would purchase as many trinkets as the real gold dollar, we would be trudging along under specie payments without knowing it. In that case we have an idea that the statesmen who have been inveighing so fiercely about the impracticability of resumption, would be haunted by an uneasy feeling that they bad made asses of themselves.

Thx Chicago council has recently pasted an srdinance which will pat some money into the city treasury and which it is claimed will be of value to the insurance business. It is suggested that the same thing might be done here with benefit. The ordinance provides that insurance brokers, those who are not regularly authorized agents holding a commission from the state, but wbo simply solicit business and pat it where it will do them the most good, shall be i squired to have a license costing $100. This covers any one who receives a compensation for effecting insurance, except for himself or as an attorney at law or general agent. A Chicago paper says this will have the effect of weeding ont the useless brokers, as those who can afford to pay the $100 are men who have been' a long time in the business and are known to be reliable and hon«st.

Thx society of geographers in Germany have made a report for they«ar 1876 of the population of the world, in most cases taken from official censuses, in others from careful estimates. The put it at 1,425,000,000, an increase of 27,000,000 on the estimate of the pre.vious year. Belgium is the most thickly populated country—160 people to the square mile. Three-fourths of the- world’s people,—W6,000,000 live in Europe, India and China on one-seventh of the earth’s surface. Give eighty people to the mile on one half of the remaining six-sevenths, and the preeent population would be doubled. M&lthusians take notice. Of the nations, China comes first with 425,000,000; the British empire next With 285,000,000; Russia 85,000,000. Of the large cities, Pekin is twenty-seventh in the list with 500,000. Y r eddo is fourteenth. The five largest cities in their order are London, Paris, New York, Berlin, Vienna. Thx Turkish government has issued its first census for the year 1294, Mohammedan era, meaning A. D. 1876. It gives 4,700,182 persons for European Turkey and 700,000 besides for Constantinople, 9,039,556 tor Asiatic Turkey, 2,000,000 nomads and 2,000,000 more added for ill others not included. Total, 19,500,000. The sultan now requires reernits

from all classes of the population. It is estimated that a half million of men may be raised for the army from this population. Russia has a population of 85,• 000,000. The nominal strength of the army before the war was 1,213,257. Well-informed writers on the preeent struggle think the recent victories of the Turks will have the result of keeping out official foreign aid, the powers allowing Russia to revenge herself if she can. In this view of the situation Russia ought to be able to settle forever the Ottoman question in Europe. It will take a war next year, and no one knows for how many more years. It will cost an immense amount of blood and treasure. DO HOT COMBJST. Thx country at large probably knows that a colony for settlement in Mississippi has been organizing in this city. Mr. E, F. Ulmer was sent to spy out the land. He has made his arrangements to stay. Yesterday The News published a letter from him dated at Ocean Springs, giving particulars of the situation. .We reproduce apart of the letter here, and call the especial attention cf radical republican newspaper organs to it. I have had an opportunity to make many acquaintances! in this (State and find the people extremely social, while that feeliny of enmity to northerners, which I was led to bolievo existed here appears to be altogether lacking. Tbo people ds not seem to care whether the parties who are coming here aie republicans. democrats or Peter Cooper’s children. All thoj desire is good citiiens who will labor to develop the country. Let me tell you there is more good land in this state than all the unemployed in Indiana can cultivate, and almost every large laud owner seems anxious that our people should come down and settle among them. I have in my possession a large number of addresses of persons in this state and Louisiana who offer tho most liberal inducements to settlers as regards selling their lands or having them cultivated on shares. Here ia the testimony of a man who has no reason for misrepresentation. H® has no interest one way or the other in politics. He is absorbed in the earnest business of getting a living. What becomes then of the fearful state of affairs that the bloody-shirt press and politicians have been telling us existed in the south? Thirty days ago or thereabouts Senator Morton consumed an evening in Oregon, telling the people that residence in the south was a matter of politics. That one of the great principles for which the republican party fought, the principle that a citizen of this country had the right to go where he pleased and live unmolested, was not recognized by the south. While one’s ears are being filled with such sentiments, the fruits of which are sectional antagonism and hate, a man makes the experiment and writes that he finds no such feeling of enmity to northerners as he, trained to believe with the rest of us, expected. “The “people do not seem to care whether “the parties coming here are republi“cans, democrats or Peter Cooper’s “children.” Can such things be and not overcome us like an extinguisher? Is this the end of all our indignation, have we been pounding the air? The discrepancy is in this. The horde of unwashed camp followers went to the south to fatten on everything that promised plunder. They didn’t go to cultivate the land but to cultivate the negroes. They built up another system of slavery as wretched as the bondage which had just been broken. They enslaved the undeveloped minds of the blacks. They filled their bewildered brains with cock-and-bull stories, the general conclusion of all of which was they must be elected to all the offices; that if the old slaveholders were put into power the old bondage would be renewed. It was a plea which appealed only too forcibly to the ignorant fears of the blacks, and so carpet-bagism was saddled on to the south and the era of pluiyler began. A matter of $26,000,000 was stolen by the Moeee gang in South Carolina. Not until a few years of freedom had taught the blacks did they discover that they bad been made cats-paws,4or the benefit of men who had no true interest in the condition of the people of the soil. The blacks found that the tax system of robbery fell on them as well as others; that no state could be impoverished without damaging every citizen and co they began to repudiate. And the white population of the south repudiated. They fought the carpet baggers until now, with the aid of President Hayes, they have broken their grip. Here is where the “outrage” business came in. These were the sort of people who could not live in peace at the south, and we would like to see any southern man come here and try a similar pplicy and see if he could live in any greater peace or security here. But now, right in the middle of shotgun Mississippi, the state wherein the republican organization disbanded the other day, a laboring man from Indiana has obtained a foothold which the last sentence of his letter thus describes: “This is a fruit “farm, consisting of five hundred orange, “banana, peach and fig trees. I have “the place for five years, and, God wil“ling, I’ll make a success of it.” And he says there is more than enough good land there than all the unemployed in Indiana can cultivate, and that the people extend them a hearty welcome. So aouch for the bloody shirt. It makes a big difference whether a man goes south to work upon the soil and be a citizen in the exercise of all his rights, or whether he goee there to work upon the ignorance of the fearfully ignorant masses of that section, that he may plunder the state. Ana we hope this diffierence between good citisens and agitators of every sort, every where, may never grow less.

THE EASTERN WAR,

Panting Away.

HAT FEVER.

Detail* of Late Engagement®. Renewed fighting in Asia is imminent The Ruaeiana loat in Saturday’a engagement before Knrakdara two general* and eight officer* killed, 237 soldiers killed and 712 wounded. Deserters say the Turka loot 3,000 men. The Russian reinforcements continue to arrive at Alexandropol. Twelve thousand men and forty-eight guns have reached Erivan for the reinforcement of General Tergukassoff. A Bucharest correspondent states that it is said the bills around Schlpka are covered with Turkish bodies, and that their loss has alreadv been as great as that of the Kuseians at Plevna. At the Servian ministerial council Sunday, at which Prince Milan presided, the co-operation of the Servian army with the Russians in Bulgaria was determined upon, and the commanders of the various corps were nominated. During Satuiday’a fighting at Schipka pass, which lasted from 9 in the morning until 10 in the evening, the Russians lost 30 officers and 400 men killed and wounded. During the night the Turks renewed the engagement with- fresh troops, and fighting was still going on desperately at noon Sunday, when the dispatch containing this information left the pass. The Russians then still maintained their position. A correspondent at Sistova telegraphs on Monday as follows: Fighting is still going on in front of Schipka pass, but General Radetzky continnes to maintain his ground, although his loeaes are serious. I hold to my conviction that Schipka ia safe, and that thus is defeated the great strategic scheme of the Turkish leaders to hem the Russians within a large tete-de-pont in Bulgaria, with the -idea of driving them over the Danube. The next few days will be lull of interest

OPIEJI EATINU. The Awful Horror* Described by a Victim. Henry L Sanford was arrested in New York recently for stealing a case of surgical instruments worth $70. When confined in the Tombs he became nearly crazed for lack of morphine and told his story to a reporter. He is 28 years ,old, and began to taka morphine about seven years ago, because whisky did not satisfy him. “That” said he, ‘ bad a splendid effect on me, made me lively and ambitious, and gave me an amount of happinees I cannot express to you. It transformed me at once. I became strong and independent Nothing was too bard for me to undertake. I speculated and made lots of money. At the end of two yean my sufferings began.” He went to a lunatic asylum, but could not be cured. He soon went up to 45 grains a day, and began taking it by injection, for it had ceased to have any effect if taken through the mouth. He had used a hypodermic syringe, but losing this got a common syringe, which he could not insert into the flesh without t fint catting a bole. He used to takes razor and cut a gash in his thigh, and then with the scissors bore a hole into the flesh, into which ne would insert the syringe and inject the mor phine. During the last two years he has taken over sixty grains a day, and has often taken over one drachm, which is eqnal to five hundred grains of opium. He is in jail for stealing medical instraluents, which he disposed of io purchase the poisonous drug, and he describes his tntferings thus: "It I wasn’t so helpless, I’d scon be ont of this hell I’m in. I have no fear of the next world. There is nothing in this for me. For over two years I have been dead. There is no tyood in me. I can eat nothing, and that which would keep life in me 1 can not get Even when asleep ~1 hate no rest. I am constantly dreaming of being thrown in among a lot of dead, and being compelled to eat tbeir flesh. I know when I wake up, covered as I am with a.cold perspiration, that it is but a dream, bat the effect of it makes my desire for morphine a torture. I would kill my own father in a minute if I could get enough far one dose. When the desire comes on me I would not exchange the morphine for heaven. Give me the dose, and then hang me if you like. I don’t care what they do with me after I have got the morphine.’’ As the question, “Are you guilty or cot?” was put lo the prisoner when arraigned for triai, he struggled painfully for a moment to comprehend the words, and then said in feeble tones, “I don’t want you to hang me, I only want to ba shot Please sentence me to be shot; I want to die.” Judge Sutherland gave the prisoner the lightest possible sentence—namely, one year in the penitentiary. It is not known where Sanford lives, if he has any home, or what his occnpation is.

The Fool-hardiest Performer Alive.

fNew York Graphic.]

High bridge, according to all accounts, will soon lay claim to an attraction that is not possessed by any of the watering places in this city. On Wednesday last, M. Vinot, a celebrated French gymnast, who for several years past has been the rival of Blondin in feats of rope-walking, visited the bridge for the purpose of making arrangements to give aerial performances on the tight rope. The height—199 feet from the water—was deemed no ob-

stacle, the only difficulty presented being suitable anchorage grounds for the ropes. M. Vinot finally concluded to stretch them across the river 180 feet above the bridge and at the same bight—one end reaching the elevated ground above Kyle's park, and the other being secured on the side of the cliff on the opposite side of the Harlem river. When everything is arranged satisfactorily, the daring Frenchman proposes to exeente some feats in mid air that will startle the public. The ropes will be placed fourteen feet apart, and will b# occupied on the occasion of each exhibition by himself and wife. During their performance, Vinot, discarding his balance-pole, will leap from one rope to the other. This feat, it is said, has been accomplished by him during his career in Europe, and has never resulted In a failure. It requires extraordinary nerve and agility, for should be miscalculate the distance an eighth of an inch, certain death would follow. The fearful risk attached to this “Leap of Death,” as it is termed, has led his friends to endeavor to induce him not to attempt it, but the gymnast laughed at their fears. He will also walk head downwards from the rope, holding his wife in his hands as he walks, bis feet catching in small Ioojm placed at intervals of twelve inches.

Rubber tooth brushes are out 9 No material wears well when it is out the wrong way of the stuff. Sunday concerts of sacred music in the London concert halls are positively forbidden. Blind Tom is taking piano lessons from Professor Poznanski, of New York. His improvement is said to be remarkable. The women of Cresco, Iowa, has filed thirteen hundred charges against the druggists and saloon men of the town for the unlawful sale of liquors. A woman book-canvasser at Bridgeport, Conn., makes her calls in aatylish turnout, consisting cf a barouche and apsirofgrey horses, and provided with a coachman and liveried footman. Tom Thumb is said to be worth $100,000. And this is a very small fortune, considering that Tom, daring the last twentyfive years, has saved more than half that sum in the size of his clothes alone. The first Japanese vessel has entered the port of London, the Nilagata Mara, cargo, 1,600 tons of rice; crew, thirty-four Japanese. She took 141 days to make the voyage from Yokohama by way of the Cape of Good Hope. A Texas family living near Englewood, consisting of father, mother and 12 children, count 328 fingers and toes as naturally belonging to them. Each of the 12 children have 24 fingers and toes fully developed, but the parents only have 40 between them. There are only 1,652 counts to the indictment against Deacon McKee, of St. Lcuia. To the first 454 of these he demurs. Statute of limitations. To the other 1,198 he answers that having been once tried, convicted, sentenced and pardoned for the crime alleged, he has satisfied justice. The Germanizing of Alsace and Lorraine is steadily and remorselessly proceeding. The latest edict changes the names of 90 villages, snbsti toting German forms, which are alone to be used in the future. Thus Brulange is henceforth Brnlingen, Destey becomes Destricb, and Suisse is transformed into Sulzen. A machine has been invented in New York, mounted on wagon wheels, which la intended for use on farms in the west. It deluges the ground behind it with smoke from burning chips and brimstone, and holds the smoke down long enough to suffocate every potato bug, locust and other insect that comes within its influence. t’he old man who always responds at the wrong time ia on hand at the Sterling camp meeting ground this year, as usual. Thursday evening a clergyman, referring to sinners, in his prayer, used the expression, “We see them suspended over hell.” “Glory be to God,” rang out out the response, with all the enthusiasm ot an old time Methodist—[Fitchburg Sentinel. Mcsenthal, the recently deceased poet and dramatist, and the author of the popular play, “Leah, the Forsaken,” or, as it is called in the original, “Deborah,” requested in his will that bis medals and other decorations of honor be hung up in the synagogue at CasseL Germany, but a conference of the rabbis of that province, called to deliberate upon the propriety of complying with this request, decided against it, on the ground that it would not be in conformity with their religious teachings and observances.

The Pennfcy Ivaula Democracy. [Chicago Times.1 The second resolution asserts in effect that the preeent administration has adopted aad is pursuing the democratic policy with respect to the southern states. This is trne to a certain extent, but that do®s not seem to be a very good reason why the democratic party should oppose the administration. If a man does exactly what you want him to do, why should you go areund swearing at him, and crying fraud? The democrats of Pennsylvania, like those of Ohio, seem to be mad because there ia nothing to find fault with. They grumble because there is nothing to gramble about. They swear because somebody who does not label himself “democrat” ia doing exactly what they are clamoring to have done. This is just what one might expect of men who want the offices, and could state no good reason why they should haye them. The Omaha Bridge. It ia now proposed to put in a low truss over the break in the Omaha bridge so that trains can be running in two months. The Chicago and Northwestern freight will be carried via Blair and that of the other roads by way of Plattsmouth.

A Doleful Tale of the Herrer* ef that nyatertou* Plaeaee Whew a Person may Hare It aad When He Will Not. (From theNew York World.1 “What is the bar fever?” asked eWorld reporter of a gentleman who had just remarked that ha had had the hay fever for twenty yean. The gentleman paused. It was evident that he appreciated the importance of the subject At length ha spoke, and spoke fully. Hay fever patients always apaak liberally when you ask them what hay fever ia. “In the first place,” he said, “it ia not the hay fever, ” “Not the hay . What do'you say?” said the reporter in astonishment Bat the gentleman continued calmly: “Then ia a disease properly called the hay fever, which resembles it Toen ia a’so the roae cold, which ia similar. Both of these diseases come in June, the one at the blooming of the rosea and the other at the harvesting of the hay. Then is also the peach cold, or peach fever, also similar, which comes with the ripening of the peaches. Bat hay fever ia really a sort of autumnal catarrh,that ia the disease which people mean when they say hay fever. All the othen, though similar in many symptoms an much lighter. The other diseases they have in Europe, but they are not prevalent there. America alone producesAhe full grown article. Let us follow the fashion however and call it hay fever.” “It ia perfectly regular in its habits, - ’ continued the patient “I suppose that if a man were cast away on a desert island he would be able to correct hia calendar by it if be loet hia reckoning. It always cornea on the same day of the year Some people have it aa early as August 12, and I have heard of one case in which it comes on August 26. Mine comes on August 20, and it comes in my case, as in every other that I ever heard of, as regularly as the day itself. I suppose,” he said musingly, “if a man lived long enough'he would be able to correct astronomical calculations by means of a good, strong, long-lived hay fever.” “I don’t know what causes it, but I don’t feel ashamed of my ignorance on that point, because nobody else knows. Some people attribute it to the presence of infusoria in the air, and others attribute it to a fungous growth on the glands, but nobody knows. The disease, however, is easily described, because of the regularity of its habits I just alluded to. When your morning comes around you wake up with a sort of chill over the whole surface of your body—just that sort of a chill that makes goose-flesh all over you. Then you begin to sneeze, and having once begun, you continue to sneeze in a prodigal manner, with no reference to reserving your sneezing powers. And when you get into the sunlight you find your eyes getting inflamed violently. And the inflammation tha^. begins, sharp on time in your nose, spreads backward till it gets Into your throat, and then it goes on and on through all sorts of organs and things that I don’t know the manner of tUHt reaches your lungs, and then you have the asthma to finish up ou. It is no fool of an asthma either, but one that takes right hold and keepe yon sitting np all the time, and makes you take ether to go to sleep. •'What do you do for it?” asked the reporter. “Well, you do all kinds of things, but they don’t help yon. It’s a a case for the application of the old poem, ‘Physicians was in vsiu.’ A physician who once treated me said finally that the only prescription that he knew of that would help the trouble was ‘gravel six feet deep.' The only thing to do for the hay-fever ia to go away from it If ha don’t it will last till the fiist frost comes, not the first light frost but the first one that will kill melon vines and tomato-vines and that sort of vegetation. And then the relief is so absolute that a man can tell as soon as be wakes, before he rises, that there has been such a frest It’s a barometer as well as a calendar.” “Snppcsing you go away, do you have it when you come back?” waa the next question. “You do if you don’t stay till after the first frest. But if you stay until then you escape with slight catarrhal symp* toms that last until midwinter. As a rule, however, these symptoms ars so very slight as not to be annoying. It is true that in some few cases the they have been known* to be aggravating and run into plenro-pneumonia, but these cases are as rare that they are probably not to be attributed to the hay-fever or ita results, or to the result of running away from it. As a general thing no trouble worth mentioning ensues if you stay until aftar the first froat ensues.” “But when must the patient go?” “There is a wide range of choice in that particular. A man who will get on board ship and go straight out to sea will escape the disease before b® gets oat of sight of lend, and if it is a new thing with him ha >111 begin to think by the time he loses sight of the highlands that be was foolish to have gone. He won’t think so, however, if he comas back. Bat if he goes across the ocean, or if he lands anywhere south of Cape Hatteras, he will remain free from bay-fever. If ba doesn’t go to sea, he must go to some place 2.200 or 2.300 feet above the level of the sea. For instance, you can have it at Piattsbarg, on lake Champlain, but it will leave yoa at otce if you go back to the Saranac region or the 8t. Regis region, or to the higher foot-hills of the Adirondacks. You won’t have it either at Long Lake or anywhere slcng through the higher region of the Adirondacks. They don't have it on the higher lakes, or at Mackinac, or on the St Lawrence/iver for 100 mile® below lake Ontario. You’ll be entirely free from it on the higher parts of the White monotains, ana partially free at the Profile house, and nobody has it at Halifax, or any where in Nova Scotia, in fact, or In New Brunawick. The upper mouniaina of Virginia are free from it, and the highest part of the Catskills. So is the high ground ou the Reeky mountains and the table-lands of Colorado, and tha people in upper Minnesota are not troubled witb it But everywhere eiae—all over the country, north of the lattitnd® of Cape Hatteras, people do have it You can sometimas get rid of it in strong aea air, however. On Fire Island and along the coast of Long Island I have known people to get rid of it But aa I said, if you go away you must stay away from regions where they have it I once went up to the Adirondseks, and got rid of it and starting to go to lake Champlain, I had it again before I got ten milea.” “Supoeing you can’t go away, what do you do for it?” “All yen can do la to try and alleviate your distreaa. And a few general rules will help greatly in doing this. In tha first place the city is better than the country. The theory about that ia that you are not surrounded in the city by plants. And in-door Ufa ia better than out-door Ufa. Sunlight ia very poisonous to a person afflicted w.th the disease, and if he la obliged to go in the aun ha should wear dark-colored apsctaclee. He will find that bright days are worse for him than dark days, as the sunlight |aggravates all hia symptoms, and that warm days are worse than cool days. If he mast be in the country he should as much as possible avoid the vicinity of strong smelUng plants. Buckwheat ia especially bad. Peacbaa are bad, too, thougn I have found I could eat cut peaches without harm, and that is con-

sistent with the theory that it ie the pollen of the vegetation that ia injurious. The patient should dram warmly and sleep warm. He should avoid over eating, and use such tonics as ar* necessary to supply the waste of the glands caused by the constant irritation. H® should bs careful about handing fruits and flowers, and especially careful about hia eye®. He should avoid a sudden chili, especially when he arisea in the morning, and he will find the friction of rubbing with hair glovea is good. He should avoid railroad journeys as much as possible, as tha dust and smoke are especially aggravating, bnt if be ia oblige to ride in tne can ha will find it advisable to pot little wade of cotton in his noetrita, not too tightly, but tightly enough to prevent the ingress of the dost. If be don't want to use wads he can doable a handkerchief several times and bind it tibghtly over hia noatrila, leaving hia mouth clear. It doesn’t do aa much mischief to get the dust in through your mouth aa through your nose. And he mustn’t blow hia nose and and he mastn t rub his eyes any uora than he oen rub them with hia albows. “He will find,” continued the patient, “that before his disease baa assumed the asthmatic form it will be best for him to take hia exercise after nightfall, aa tha sunlight is bad for him, out aftar the asthma cornea on ha mast avoid tha night air. But if It is possible, by all means let him go away and break up the disaasa for a number of succeesiva years. Two or three yean won’tdohim any good, but let him do it for eight or nine yean or more. I have been doing it for 15 yean now and I am having it less severely now than I formerly had it

Indian Tvonbles. A report from Boseman, Montana, says Gen. Stargia has six companies on the Yeliowatone to meet Joeeph’s band. Captain Benham. of the seventh infantry, telegraphs from Fort EUia that the main camp of tha Indians crowed the Yellowstone on the 25th. The warrion went back to fight Howard. White Bird and Looking Glass remained within their camp. Joeeph went with the warrlora. They aay that they are * going to Wind river and Camp Brown to get supplies. Schofield thinks they are going to the lower Yellowstone vis Clark’s fork. They crossed the river between Mount Washburn and the lakes. A Portland press dispatch, under date of the 24tb, says Captain Wilkinson, Gsneral Howard’s aid-de-camp, eaya he haa a dispatch from Lewiston, of which the following is the substance: “Just returned from Spokane Falla General What ton’s column will be due here Monday, the 27th.
