The initial chapter of this story, the second of vhich appears to day, was printed In the Stntiuel of yesterday. "Meta "WoodTal" will run without interruption, as a serial, in the Daily Sentinel only. Headers of the daily who would like the story from its beginning should order ccp!e3 of the Sanday Sentinel of January 4. WELCOME! To our many Democratic friends who will be called to the city this week during tha preparatory opening days of the Legislate re, extend a cordial invitation to make themselves perfectly "at home" with us. The latch-strlng ia out, and all are welcome. A foul murder is reported this morning by our Bloomington, Ind., correspondent as having occurred there Saturday night or early Sunday morning. Yesterday was the day tes by certain Chicago Adventists for the end of the world. The old ball is still whirling at the usual gait at this writing 2 a. m. The friendaof Mr. 1. Gabriel announce that he will be a candidate for Doorkeeper of the House. Mr. Gabriel is the President of our popular home labor organization, known as ' The Autocrats." The Republicans are growing stronger in favor of civil service reform. When the time conif s fcr the Democrats to take possession the former will be ultra on the subject. "When we look back over the history of the Republican party we smile. Mr. Sam Rand ill's reception in the South gives the lie to the oft repeated canards that Itepullicans are denied social recognition in that section. Mr. Randall Is the brightest exponent of all that i3 left for Republican to fight for: Protection. In 1ST',) Lawyer Hamilton, of Illinois, defended Ed Goodspeed, a Bloomicgton murderer, but Goodjpeed went up for thirty years. In time the lawyer became Governor and, in the latter capacity, last week pardoned Livryer Hamilton's client. President AuTuuais reported as being out of the New York Senatorial race. Evarts has not had time to write a sentence as to 'whether he will withdrew . We shall not ehed tears over the loss of these two candidates; our man is still Lord Eoscoe. Scr.cr.nAM, now of Canada, but late Assistant Cashier of a bank and prominent member cf the Christian Church at Lexington, Ky., bet the bank's raoney heavily on Blaine during the late camppaign. What a corrupting influence that "magnetic" 'Plumed Knight" did have. The Adventists out at Denver also proclaimed recently that the world would coma to an end at daybreak of yesterday, January i, 1SS1. As it was not daybreak when the Sentinel went to press yesterday, we kept mum. but now ris9 to say that tha Adventlit proclamation was a fraud. Mn. Moody, the Evangelist, is in disgrace with the people of Richmond, Va. A year ago a petition signed by 1,000 citizens, including all the ministers, invited Mr. Moody to visit Richmond. He arrived there on Saturday in response to that Invitation. But two weeks ago a letter was published by Mr. B. D. Core to the effect that in 1S7G he heard Mxdy illustrate his subject by comparing Gsniral Grant to the Savior and Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson to the deviL Core's statement has been corroborated by a letter from another Virginian in the audience at the tame time, unknown to Core. The Virginians propose to know from Mr. Moody's own lips whether he did or did not compare Lee and Jactson to the deviL If he 'esses up they are not going to be evangelized by him. A writer, after a 1 via-

icg Mr. Moody to be a preacher of salvation rather than of damnation, says: "No doubt but that Lee and Jackson were both sinners in the sight of God, and that as sush deserved his wrath and enrse. I hop? that Mr. Moody will receive the same reward that I believe Lee and Jackson are now in fall enjoyment of in that world where there is no sectional hate."

THE END. A prominent St, Louis Adventist, upon being interviewed concerning the end of the world, announced for yesterday, said: There is no truth whatever in it, t-ir. The Lord Jesus can not come to-day or ths day after. I will prove it to yon by Scripture, if you care to have me do so. We know that He will cot come, because all thing! are not accomplished that are t9 precede His coming. We know that the periods of prophecy were closed in the year 1811, and it is literally true that no man knoweth the day or the hoar, or even the year, in which Christ shall come. This we do know, that He shall come within some indefinite period not far removed, and that the present generation shall witness his coming". THE RESULT. If th local Republican organs continue to give out the impression that our Board of Commissioners are hand-in-hand with tha criminal classes, compounding crim, etc., what a splendid (?) reputation Indianapolis will soon have abrcad. We notice that the Chicago News, and perhap3 a few other outside papers, are already discussing tho mitter, basing their arguments upon the villainous te!egrani3 that go out from this city from special correspondent? of Republican newspapers. This ia not all. Another result of this conspiracy to destroy the fair fame of our city will bs to invite all the footpad?, bunco steerera and thieving bummer? of all the large Western cities to pay the city a professional viäit. Tharjk?, however, to an effective police force, they will probably receive a much warmer reception than they anticipate. THE PUBLIC DEBT. The increase in the public debt for December is attracting some attention, and is being yariously interpreted as indicative of the general depressed state of busines?, There is an impression that the commercial situation is grave one, and that it can not be disposed of under the general classification ot "hard times." The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald gives the opinion that the receipts and expenditures of last year show that this view is an erroneous one; that the decrease in the public debt in December, 1SS1, was less than S2,C00,00O and the expenditures were $12, 000,000. This year the Increase is $500,C0O, but the expenditures are 22.000,000. This increase in expenditures is accounted for mainly by the carrying over from November of $3,000,000 for pensions, which for the corresponding month last year, only required 52S.0C0. It should not be inferred from this, however, that there is any increase in tension payments for the fiscal year. Thus far, they are in fact less by 303, 00) than for the corresponding half of last year, but they have been distributed differently through the quarter?. The receipts declined $2,000,000 for tha month, which, of course, was somewhat the result of the basiness depreasion. The following figures are given by tho Herald's correspondent. The total revenue for the first half of the last fiscal year were nearly $170,000,000, as against $101,000, 000 for the corresponding half of the present fiscal year, a decrease of over $ 11,000,000, &,000,000 of which occurred in custom receipts. Notwithstanding this falling eff in receipts, tha public debt tas been decreased over $'i0,ICO.OCO, and over $13,CC0,euJof bonds hae teen cancelled so far. Secretary McCuIlcch says that the increase of the public debt &howu by the December ttatement is due not so much to any unusual expenditures during the month ai to the fact that there has been a great fa.llicg off in the receipt?. For the past two mo: tbs the Treasury, he says, has been fueling the effect of tbe general depression of business all over tha country, and the revenues have generally decreased. Meanwhile the expenditures have kept up to the highest point, those for iei:sicu3 slightly increasing. Ha says, however, that the statement for January will show a diminution of the public debt again. THE COLORED MAN AND THE DSIJOCBACY. That an audience of colored and white citizens should come together, ai occurred at Chicksrinr, Hall one night last week, to indorse the incoming President, mu3t b9 exesperating to the Blaine nowsparpers and demagogues who still rant of the Democracy being the enemy of the colored people. There were two speakers at the meeting a black man, Rev. W. B. Darrick, and Algernon S. Sullivan, a white man. Mr. Darrick made an eloquent speech, in which he argued that, while local troubles might arise in some Southern States, the colored man need have co fear respecting his rights in the hands of the Democratic party. He frankly confessed to disappointment at Mr. Blaine's defeat, but in a manly way expressed an earnest desire for the success of Mr. Cleveland's administration, believiog him to be of the manly nature that could rise above party and became the ideal ruler for the good of all the people. He hld that no impediment should be thrown in ths way of Mr. Cleveland's administration. The duty ot the colored man, he said, was to mind his own business, learn all he could, and when he was possessed of educated intelligence his brain power would have its way and the question of rights would be a thing cf the past. The resolutions adopted by the meeting declared "the cheerful acceptance by the colored man of the result of the recent national contest, with the stern expectation of their just dues

viz., the proper and faithful ad ministration of the laws which protect the rights and privileges guaranteed by the Constitution to all American cltixens." It is yery evident that intelligent, fairminded Republicans, both black and white, are beginning to tee that the defeat of James G. Blaine and the triumph of Grover Cleveland was a God-send to the country. They see in the result the dawn of an era of goodwill the going down of sectional animosities. Tc-day the most pitiable creaturea in the United States are the sore-heads who are continuing efforts to stir up strife between any portion of the country and the incoming administration. Bat it is gratifying to see the signs that they will fail in this as they failed in their efforts to elect the man who attained to notoriety and to leadership in his party, solely in the role of sectional strife stirrer.

The Springer Committee will begin to-day In Cincinnati investigating the outrages of United States Marshal Lot Wright and his J17.SC0 worth of bnlldczing and murdering Deputies at the October election in Ohio. Even betöre the sitting of the committee, Mr. SpriDger has evidence In a report of O. I. G. Clark, Commissioner of Pensions, to cause him to exclaim with Mr. Squeer3: "nere's richness!" Of the total number of Special Examiners appointed by the Pension Bcreau, G'JO, there were 101 "employed and away cn leave within the State of Oaio during the months of October and November, 11, or a portion of tb3t time." Itisjast alcng there that the fine hand of Co?oael W. W. Dudley, of Indiana, will be tracJ. The Philadelphia Timed saya of Presidentelect Cleveland's civil 5ervica reform: "Tirs letter will not, however, bring much comfort to the men now in offica who have made their places recruiting stations for a political party and who have suddenly öean seized with great admiration for the tenure cf o:lice portion of the civil service reform principle. He serves notice upon such persons that they will be expected k go and that without üericusof unnece'ssary delay. And if there is to be any genuine reform of existing methods the oßicial guillotine can not be set in motion too quickly." Referring to Mr. Haye' remark that he bad determined never to be interviewed again, the St. Louis Republican comments as follows: "Why any human being should wnt to read anything he says or know anything about his movements is a mystery we can cot Folve. lie has illustrated in bis person the highest capacity of an Ohio Republican fur fraud, and having done thi3, let him sink out cf sight forever." Akdsew Cam r" ell, the p03tmaster at Clemeth, Union County, Georgia, has been arrested for robbing the malls. Ha admits his guilt. A kisd hearted lady of Gilroy, Kan., has constituted herself a good angel of all tramps. She not only gives tham a square meal, but wine and cigars. One of hia few remaining airnirer3 snt as a Christmas present to Schuyler CMfar a $12 tuit of store clothes suitable for tn' lecture platform, but Schuyler will continue to wi ar the same old emile. Tom Matthews, a famous clown, is liviDg at Brighton, England, eighty years old, hale and hearty. The jokes he used to get off are also hale and hearty, and much older than eighty years. Bostjn Transcript. A nous temperance lady expressed her delight when she read that many gia hou3es are burning down in Georgia. But some one killed all her joy by informing her that tte gin houses referred to were cotton gin bo use 3. George Edward?, alia3 Giles, who had pleaded guilty to the charge of psjsing a counterfeit dollar, was sentenced by JuJge Morris in the United States District Court, at Baltimore, la3t Saturday, to five yeara in the Albany Penitentiary. It ie the young lady with tbs brand ne:v ?ea'skin who is ever remarking, "How awfully cold it is!" while her less fortunata sister, with noting on bat a summer j icket, is "just suffering from the heat," though the thermometer be twenty degrees below zero. Bjucical i.t says that he never goes into a dry goodä store where handsome girl are employed as forms on which todisrhy gar ments without realizing that they are better actresses, in the manner of baauty, style and grace, than those whom he finds on the stage. Tun venerable General John C. Fremont, first defeated Republican Presidential candidate, is still vigorous enough to promise to head a Mexican exploring party, thus re suming his original profession of "path finder," possibly in search ot the last de feated Republican Presidential candidate. Mr. Oscar Wilds, speaking at Glasgow re cently cn "Dress," said a Lancashire mill girl, with a Ehawl over her shoulders and wearing clogs, knew more about dress than a fashionable London lady recently returned from Taris, because in the former case there was comfort, while in the latter there was discomfort. Editob Caleb Foots, of the Salem (Mass.) Gazette, claims to be the oldest still active and acting journalist in the United States, but as he is now eighty-three. Editor Foote is reasonably presumed to have one foot in the magnificent mausoleum most New Eng land editors build for themselves or for tbeir Presidential candidates. New York World. Pere Hyacinth has fallen upon evil days since his return to France. He is, indeel, a voice crying in the wilderness, ai religious bodies of all denominations refuse him their pulpits. The other day he proposed to de liver a discourse at Neuilly, in the neighbor heed of Paris, but could find admission no where. At last, in desperation, he besought the English rector of a little Anglican

church, recently erected, to grant him admission, and at first the English minister was as obdurate as the rest Finally Pere Hyacinth won him by promising to pronounce a panegyric on Luther, which he did, comparing him to himself. The congregation amounted to eeven. In Bolton, England, there is a club of men composed entirely of habitual wife beaters. The object of the club is mutual assistance and protection. When a member beat3 his wife and a benighted magistrate fines him, the fine is paid out of the club funds, and the gentleman goes home and gives his wife another beating just for luck. The noble Briton must have his fun. Mr. SiiAEOJr, who is having such a scandalous time of it in San Francisco, owns about $500,000 worth of real estate in Washington. Not long ago parts of the property were sold, one of the purchasers being Secretary Frelinghaysen; but since the decision declaring that Miss Hill is Sharon's wife the purchasers have refused to complete the sale, lest there be legsl complications. It is a little hard to convince the average faM ycung man that alcohol is poison, bat four fast young men in Westmoreland County haye made the discovery all at once. They ordered oyster stews, and poured common wood alcohol into the stews aud ate it. Two of them are dead, and the othT two have hardly done wishirg they were dead too, so sick did tbe mesa make them. Philadelphia limes. Mr.. Herbert, of Maskro?s. who has now teen a resident of Na?? York for many months, and seems to hava taken a fancy for this country, ha let hi baitiful forest, overlooking th? cbmiM Külarney Lake1, to Mr. Amphlftt, who, juuing from the accounts in the Irish papers, is having royal sport there. Forty staga and nearly 1,200 woodcocks were brought down in a dav. The O'Connell family have also a fine forest near.

Wage Cutting. To the Editor of the Sentinel: Sir What dees that old arch humbug, Roach, mean by reducing hia men, the last cut 5 per cent, below the lowest English ship-yard wages for twenty-five years? He ha3 always been wanting a Government sabsidy because he was unable to compete with "he pauper labor" of England. He also bragrd what he hal accomplished in th9 "marine line, and stated that none cf his men had ever worked at it before." "The laborer is worthy of his hire," and where high class work Is done there are plenty of experienced, ßrst das workmen to be had. But these, it seems, are not the kind ot skilled workmen the villainoc3, highly pro tected iron masters of Pennsylvania want. They seldom send to free trade England for skilled workmen at high waea. No, that ia not the kind of men they want. They would prefer Hungarians, "who had never worked at it before," and who coald live on sour cabbage and crease. The wholesale re duction of wageä that hai bsen going on in renupylvania of late years 13 pitiable, and the protective tariff has been a perfect farce, as far as the working classes are concarnei. Where did th railway riots in 187a originate? Oat West? Not much. In the hot bed of protection, Pennsylvania, where tbe lowest wages in the country are paid The great iron' and steel manufacturers cave been in tbe habit of pending apeati to Europe, who have to write to order and make humiliating pictorial contrtst3 in favor of their prosperous and contented workmen. The bet protection the work ing classes have is to protect themselves. A notice of a 10 per cent, redaction was lately posted up to all hands except those that were members of the Amalgamated iron and SUel Association. On tha west side of tbe Missouri River, where trie Knight3 of Labor are strong, wags m railway shops are still as high as they were during and after the war. The Union Pacific Railroad trie d to cut th?m 10 per cent, last snmmer, but failed. If the men were to have their share of the profits by protection it wculd be all very well, but they don't. In f.io some of the manufacturers of marine nd lecomctive engines state that tbey dn'; want l tilled worJcmeu who hava served legal apprenticehips to the trale. They pre fer to work with promoted laborers, and boast that they can export locomotives to Australia on cheaper terms than the English with their thoroagh bred, frkille 1 workmen; a pretty argument in favor of protection, truly. Respectfully yours. iort Wayne, January ... Journeyman. Ooorkeepe-r of the Xlonse. To the Editor of the Sentinel : Sir W see in the columns of your paper cccaEiocal notices from the friends of the various candidates for the different peti tions to be filled by the Legislature. Bar tholomew County will have a candidate for Doorkeeper of the Iloase in tbe persoa of Miles L. Thompson. He i3 the ex-Sheriff of this county, a life-longr Democrat, and a perfect gentleman. Bartholomew County will be represented in the present session by two of her most talented ani active young Democrats. And asking no other favor or position at the hands of that body, they will insist that the claims or lit, lhompson shall be carefully considered. Democrat. Columbus, Ind., Jan. 3. Clerk of the Lions. fCommunlcated.l Among the candidates for elective positions of the House of Representatives is James C. Carlton, of Lawrence County, for principal clerk. We have known Mr. C. for many years. He Is entirely competent; is a man of integrity, and has always been an active and efficient worker ia the Djmocratb harness. At the last session of the Legislature he had charge of the engrossing lorce ot the House, and it was under his direction that duplicate copies of the Metropolitan Tolice bill were engrossed, which act, in all probability, saved the bill from defeat. Mr. C. is a Mexican veteran, having served in Captain McDougal's company, of this county, in the Fifth Regiment. He was perhaps the youngest soldier who carried a musket in the war with Mexico, being only fifteen years and four months old at the time of enlistment. He served an apprenticeship at the printing business, and worked in the Sentinel office as a compositor as long ago as 1S50-51, and yet holds a membership in the Indianapells Typographical Union. He was the publisher and co-editor (along with his brother. Judge A. B. Carlton) of the Bloomington News Letter, in 1S54 3-G. Mr. C. ha3 led an active business life, and has always been a wide-awake Democrat. For many years he was engaged in the drug business at Bedford. Lawbknce. Jan. .

TDE WORLD'S EXfOblTIOJ

And tho City Where It is Held. The Show Not Yet Well Opened The Curtain Up But the Stage Xot in Perfect Order, Something Deecrlptivo of New Orleans and of tho People One Sees There Tho Great Loveo and tho Fronen. Market, To Which the Five Itranche of tke TTuman Family Kepalr for Their CoflV Notes and floentp About the Exposition 2o Down la Febraaij, But Leave the Children at Home. Special Sentinel Letter. Nrw Oeleas, La., Jan. 2. Two questions are being asked in letters from Indiana: (1) Will it pay to visit the exposition? and (2), When is the best time to make the yisit? I answer the last first. Were my coming here for only the purpose of teeing the exposition, I am on the groumh too early by a month. The buildings are not corapleted, and therefore the exhibits not rdl in not by a great deal. For th's no fault attacbts to the management. It waa not exppc'.eJ that the ppt'.c deniaodtd would exceed one-half that called for by would-be exhibitors. Tbe cradiM was made to hold a child only, whf re?.s twins have come. That is tha situation in a nuts-hell. So th manament, with f. commendable determination t" accommodate all applicants for mating display, are extending lloer and roof until, when Ftbruary mmts, the buildings will astound vision. It is in tbe second montn, tfren, of tbe new year, I would advis9 tho Sentinel readers to take their Southward Uipht. Bat "will it pay to visit the exposition?" Wf 11, if your mind is large enough to appreciate ''big thinf," voj will enjoy the Ex position as you never did any shaw before it. And If yonr mind is po narrow as to i ed crop.denin?, it will p&y you immeasurably to come. It matters not what your avrcaticn iu life, you will find something te fore your eyes pjrtaming to it. Bat one thing I pray cf you do If ave your yoang children at home! There is a class of parents who never go to churcli, the circus or a barbecue without lugging atid pulling after them their halfdczea young ones, ranging from ten yesrs down to ten weeks old. If you are of tht ridiculous c'a?a do stay at heme. A child under eight is not only a nuisance, but iu positive danger in THE CROWDS THAT SURGE toward tho cars, steamboats and entrances to the grounds. Suppose we idle about the city awhile before joining tbe throngs at the exposition. Were you ever in New Orleans? No? Then, even before reaching the city, your eyps will dilate at the sight of clusters of the golden fruit seen here and there on either side the railroad as you near your destination. YTalking the streets at a distance from the bn3inoxs canter jou will pause again and again to look admiringly at gardens with their heavilydaden orange trees and charming evergreens. Though it is necessary to bring along your winter coverings, you will yet lind days when psrao!s will be more serviceable than cloaks. Yt-Eterday was a day of chillia? breezes, but to-day is mild, and to morrow may be warm. Do not be surprised ia February if, oa the niht of yonr arrival, after closing your eyes you saculd hear the bnzz z z of a pesky mosquito about your pillow. This is a bnsy season in New Orleans. Lower Canal street is a procession cf draya drawn by mules driven by their natural master3, "the descendants of Ham. The levee at the foot of Canal and for a long distance up and down the river is literally blockaded by cotton bales and barrels, caks and hogsheads of sugar and molasses. These are the stap'es cf the rivemmmerca. But they do not comprise all the shipping. Here are steamers from the tropics with cargoes of fruit, and bs.rcfs from th? upper waters cf the Mississippi and MiVouTi laden with grain ami provisions. These are magnificent boats that ply b-tween St. Lou??, Memphis, Yicssburg a.id New Orleans. One of them, the "Henry Frank," recently brought down a car,o of S.00Ü bales of cotton besides other freight and a number of paengers. Vessels from Liverpool and Havre are hre loading vth tbe ileecey staple. There is no American city where people of to MANY nationalities and climes may be seen In a single hour as New Orleans, and this living show may be taken in from a single point, without moving a step to the right or left. Walk doa to the "French Market" oa any morning (ttoufih Sanday is far the best) at 3 o'clock. Ycu yll want to traverse the length and breadth of this piece,' which comprises five entire blocks, just to see what is for sale and who constitate the salesmen and women. The market is not limited to edibles. It i3 a vast cariosity shop as well. The fiah (including fchell varieties) and game tables are probably uneoualed by these of any other market in taa world. Fruits, frcm the hardy apple of the cold North to the tropical pineapple and citron, and vegetables suggestive of June time are spread out in profusion. For meat you will Sf e huge carcasses of Texas steers, quarters of elk, antelope and deer, mutton and pork. "He'era y'er fine, fat 'possums!" calls out a cable huckster, with the whitest cf kinky heads, while his mate in the adjoining section invites you to her stock of dressed spring chickens and fresh eggs. In other departments tbe 85lld gold characteristics of paste jewelry afe made known by a glib tongued descendant of Abraham in a manner that would fill "Samuel of Posen" with envy. Catch-penny g'.m cracks of Oriental fashioning are on counters bahind which the black hair end eyes, brown complexions, jeweled ears, fingers and wrists of Egyptian, Turanian and Spanish women sit eyeing for customers amongst the procession evtr moving past. Now accept the invitation of the palite Frenchman of a coffee booth tobe seated at tbe table at its Bide. Sit with yonr face to the aisle that you may obserre the human stream leisurely flowing down it. The coffee yon never sipped the like of it before; rich to cilinea; black, and of such delicious aroma! You can scarcely turn from contemplating it to watch the faces moving bv and listen to the babel of conversation. You may be a linguist or an adept in philology (I am neither) if so, even your coffee will be neglected. It is entertainment enough to look at and listen to the different inhabitants of our own country. You know, from the concise speech of the not too healthy looking couple, that they are Yankees and probably from Boston. The stout, wordy old fellow in slouch attire, with cottoa lint on hi coat,

is, most likely, a Mississippi planter, and the black man to whom ne is explaining what they are observing, is one of his tenants, come to "Na O'leens" with him. He ot tanned faco under the sombrero, with his pants in his unblacked boots, is of the cowboy claee. That broad-shouldered, large -handei fellow guessing at the weight of "them porkers" ia a Westerner for money. Bat the foreign faces and dialects are of more striking interest. The Mexican, swarthy of skia and not the most reassuring of countenance, ia numerous, with others of Hidalgo b!rl, including tbe South American aad West Indian. Here Is the Italian and the Turk, the lailor from the German ship and the tar from tho British merchantman; the French, woman and the darker-skinned Portnguese; tbe Chinaman, tbe Jap and the Magyar white faces aal black, brown faces and vellow, and all shades between, are mixed in the crowd that, LIKE AS ESPLES CHMN' with 50,000 links, revolves before yoa as yon sip your French Market coffee, the most ravishing cup of it, you declare, ever offered to yonr lips. But yon will do well to limit your enjoyment to a single cup, for two will tell on jour nerves before a tonr of the expedition is made. It is palpable to the management, the exhibitors and to the city thareteaia railroad facilities to the exposition grounds is aa absolute necessity, the horse car and etearuboat accomodations for passengers being inadequate even now when the crowd has scarcely begun coming in. A meeting of the interested has been called, and it is probable that by February 10 a track will b laid an J trains running from the Clay monument on CaEal ttreet direct to the expositioa entrance. Yesterday, the first of the new year, was the occasion for an extra lare attendance, theciih tbe weather was anything than balmy. The main building, though all activity, is notyttinlhe order to gratify these who admire thorough methods. Tae feature of interest was the placing on permanent exhibition by tbe Mexican Stan ot Chibuhhua, in pyramiddl form, a ms ot silver ore weighing 5,010 pounds, and valued at $114.000. There was many a one who, when told by tha Ctihaahuans that this was bät an average of tbe mineral riches of their State, felt like buying a pick and taking the firat train going toward iL The Horticultural Hall is ATTRACTING MOST AVHIRATIO.W One does not need to be acraak on botany to bfceome enthusiastic over tbe display here. The coffee, chocolate, tea, vanilla bean, palm, dates and cocoas in fruit and biocra is a rare siht. Then there are spices, black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, gior r.nd clove; four varieties of the rubber tree irem Mexico, Hondaras and India. There are also medicinal plants from Central America, eago from which the Panama hat is made, upwards of 100 varieties cf lerus, cinchona trees from which qu;nii:e. is made, and several varieties of the ha-ana tree. la tbe Government and State buildings or might spend weeks in studying the res' urces of the country. Every State in the Union and every Territory except Utah is si owing something of its productions. An idea of the extent of these State exhibits may be had from the statement that Texas alone occupies 18,720 feet of floor space. The display of woman's work is samethinz a mere glance at which would paralyze a man. I am not going to essay cue word descriptive of it; there are articles suspended and unfolded here and there that will make a timid newspaper man blush to look at. Bat they interest the ladies, and before yon are within a stone's throw of the gallery allotted to this department you can hear one thousand delicious "Oh, ray's!" and "Oh, me'sl" "Beautiful!" "Exquisite!" etc., etc. My advise to any gentleman bringing a lady to this section of the exposition is to t a check for her from tte doorkeeper and retain with the checx, say, five cr six hours later. More anon. Archer. The Speakership. KsiGHTSTowrr, Ind., Jan, 3, A fov more days and the Legislature of the great State of Indiana will convene. Permit rue to fay a few words concerning the Speaker. Northern Indiana has but one applicant for that responsible position, a man who has always been recognized a9 one of the foremost statesmen. If the Democracy of the State desire to reward their standard-bearers, thoss who have done and sacrificed much for the benefit of their party's pood, let them do to promptly. In tne person of Hon. Divid S. Goodine, of Hancock County, wo present a gentleman popeesed ot the necessary qualifications redalsite to make a just and acceptable official. Judge Gooding wou!d make a Speaker that would know no North, South, East or West, bat would labor assidu

ously for the beit interests of the whole fctate. Let tbe Legislature elect the "noble old Roman," and an era of reform, retrenchment and an economical expenditure of th public fund will be a distinguishing mark of the incoming Legislature. F. E. W. IIuu. Cnarics L. Jewett. IJtfTersonTille Daily Timei.1 There is nothing pleasanter to contemplate, as one of the results of the late campaign, than the election of Mr. Jewett by a jarge majority from the counties of Scott, Floyd aad Clark to the Legislature, and his prominence as a candidate for Speaker cf the Houee of Representatives. Mr.Jewett was a member of the hist House, and held the responsible position of chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means and consequent leadership of his party in that body. How well he deported himpelf is well known, and that he is thoroughly well qualified for the Speakership no one can deny; no one cm gainsay his aptitude and fitness forEthe position, nor say aueht against his Democracy. He is a superb parliamentarian, and would preside with dignity and effectiveness oyer the body. As much depends oa that otncer for quick dispatch of business, it is but just to the people that a proper eelection be made, and we predict that when tbe sense of the House is determined it will be found in favor ot Mr. Jewett for its next presiding cmcer.
