If men will not bind themselves to take care of them, they hnnM at least see to it that they can take care ot themselves. Mrs. 1 J. Jennings (Miss Henriques), wile of the editor of the Times, is about to aotear in theatricals for the benefit ot the pbor. Mr. Sumner died comparatively poor, Public money never stuck to his flngeis. About a!J he had were his books, his, picand a dwelling which was given to him. Miss Nellie has received the most cordial letters from the parents of Mr. Sartoris, and it is evident that a very warm welcome awaits her in hew new home. Mr. S. owns a farm iu Wls.ousiu. There is an immense dissatisfaction in the republican camp, and its best men are wondering whether reform is hopeless within the organization. This, it must be confessed, is not tbe attitude of a vigorous and ellicient party. Harper's Weekly. The charge of the women's suffrage bill in the English house of commons, has been transferred from Mr. Jacob Bright, the late radical member for Manchester, to Mr. Forsyth, the conservative member for Marylelione. Let the grave cover all that was inimical to southern ideas and sentiments in the deceased senator, and let us only remember that he would have put away from the federal archives all show and sign of tbe triumph of countrymen over countrymen. New Orleans Picayune. A bill reported favorably to the Pennsylvania Senate, aiding the enforcement of tbf marriage laws, empowers clergymen and others having .authority to join persons in wedlock, to swear tbe parties and witnesses in order to ascertain whether the parties are eligible. Bradlaugh is again stumping England and is drawing larger audiences than ever. Iiis speeche-, however, as formerly, are not reported in the newspapers. His speeches seem to be of a kind that report themselves. He is said to be enthusiastic in his praises of America. Excommunicate Butler and Butlerism? As well might the Romish church excommunicate the pope and the college of cardinals. Haven't the Massachusetts people been trying to excommunicate them? Everybody knows that. If there is any excom municating to be done, Butler is the pontiff who does it. Chicago limes. Mrs. Livermore tells ot a genius she met among the hills of New Hampshire. He certainly ranks as the American Worth. She 8ays.be was the chairman of tbe lecture committee and she, staying at his house, with the habit of looking into things, found her yrj into the work-room of his millinery establishment. There were dozens of bon nets sd tastefully trimmed that her eyes, eduacted by the ethics of Boston, at once re cognized the touch of an artist. There, too, weie dresses in every stage of completion. aeiigntiuny piannea. Asking who trim med tbe bonnets, the work-girls told her, the master of the shop. Who designed tbe dresses? The same man who selected every yard of trimming and attended to the finishing of every dress that was sent out. His fame was wide in tbe hill-country, and the Dartmouth college ladies thought they couldn't wear bonnet -unless it came through his hands. He sketched in crayon, and painted in water-colors. His hcus was full of delightful trifles the work of a man -who bad earned his own Uring since he was eight years old. ' The Alliance, in referring to the present agitation in the minds of the people upon many moral and religious subjects, says that never was there so little disguise or hypoc risy as now, and never was the world in so lair a way to reach a just estimate of men and things as they really are at this time. Before a tree ress, and a free pulpit, and a free and enlightened public sentiment, one harn after another shall be torn off, and right and wrong in church and society and state be laid bare, and truth and error stand forth undisguised. - Nothing shall escape. The pulpit, the press, the home, tbe school, the church, the state, the rights of woman. the social evil, amusements, the problems of labor and capital, are all to pass in review, and, we believe, to take higher and fairer shaping for the future. Nothing ol truth or good shall be lost by the increasing new order of things. Mountains shall be leveled down and valleys lifted up, old prejudices shall disappear, but the highway of truth and right becomes easier to all minds and iiearts. The Springfield Republican propounds this conundrum anent the Connecticut election:

In fine, Is there any other method known to politics by which a party in power that is going wrong can be convinced of its peril, arrested, brought back to the right way, than by its best members allowing it to be

beaten, and helping to beat it, at tbe state elections? The average politician cares little for platforms: he cares a great deal for success. lie may not read newspaper criticisms very carefully; he reads the election tion ! , returns. The loss of a state is something he can understand; it comes home to him, and sets him thinking. He heeds that species of rebuke, and does not seem to heed any other, as rational men, understanding tbe law 01 cause and effect and the relation between mennn and nrl. can VOU lUStifV VOUrseiVeS to your own consciences, reforming republicans, if vou throw away this chance to administer the only rebuke wnicn anorus me faintest hope of good results, to utter one warninsr that will be understood, if not heeded, to do the republican party the one service which events have left in their power? . WITH THE SIOUX. A SOLDIER'S LETTER FROM TUB IVIA .&-.- PKDITIOX A STRIKING EXPERIENCE. Major Steele, who is stationed in this city, among other, interesting oorrpuueiici from his soldier comrades In the west, has received the following: Headquarters Siocx Expedition, Red Clocd Agency, Da., March 16, 1874. We organized at Fort Laramie two columns of troops, one of cavalry, con sisting of two companies ot the third and six of the second, under command of Colonel Baker, of the second, he who cleaned out the Piegans; the other column, which consisted of F company 14th, two companies of the 13th, and four of the eighth, all under command of Colonel Lageth, of the Thirteenth. The cavalry column crossed the Platte river, and invaded the Sioux soil on the morning of the second inst., the infantry column followed our trail next day, bringing forward the supply trains. We marched by way of the old Fort Pierre road, crossed the Nioharaand Raw Hide and struck the head waters of White river in the mountains, about thirty miles southwest from here, and followed the White river to the point where we are now temporarily located. Our march from the Platte river to the White river was across a rolling country well coveied with dry grass, but no wood, save at the Raw Hide, twenty miles from the Platte, our first camp. Down the White river to this toint the valley is well wooded with plenty of box elder, red elm and cottonwood in the immediate vaney oi tne stream, and an abundance of cedar and pine in the adiacent canons. Ihe scenery is wild and grand, precipitous rocks rising udou either hand to a height of several hun dred feet in some instances. The valley is filled with the rich green of tbe pine and cedar and the summits crowned with snow, r r cloud-capped. We met with no opposition t r incident of interest, though the Indians watched us throughout our line of march and tore up the bridge we built after we had passed. Arrived here we established a camp, consisting of lour companies of intantry and one of cavalry, and the next day moved with the remainder of the command to bpotted Tail's) agency, 42 miles below this point, on the White river. Lett four companies of the eighth infantry and Meinhold's company of the third cavairv at spotiea lau, ana the next day started back, arriving here at noon on the second day. Upon our approach, the northern, and in fact all, tbe Indians capable of doing any harm, left bot hager. cies, andtbey are now scattered through the country north and west ofus, and we expect 60on to bear fromtbem back in tbe Laramie and Chug valley. There is no doubt but the greater portion of the Sioux nation is bent upon war this season. There are no Indians now near tbene agencies but the loafers, and even among them a great deal of discontent exists, and some ot the youngest ot them are leaving almost daily. "They fold their tents in the night time, and 8ILENTLY STEAL AWAY," and they will continue to steal away until congress awakens to a true realization of tba situation and authorize the army to move against them in earnest. I never have been so thoroughly disgusted with anything as am with the present Indian policy. I have been watching it for three years now, and if I had not tried to understand, the fact ot Its being a gigantic fraud upon the people and the Indian alike, would have been forced upon my conviction. None ever regard it in any other light, except the Indian ring, consisting oi agent , contractors, trad ers and the church people who have been beguiled into the belief that they are assisting in tbe civilization of the Indian whereas, the fact i patent to all, that these good people are only being used as the cat's paw to help the plunderer pull out the chestnuts. If anyone doubts that the Indians are increasing under the present beneficent management, they can be consoled by tbe fact that tbe same Indians who were drawing rations two years ago for a giveu number of lodges, are now, or have been, draw-1 lng for two and three times tbe number. If they haven't increased in numbers, they have certainly done so In their capacity to consume rations of coffee, beef, bacon, sugar, tobacco, etc, and in the meantime the poor whites are starving in the cities, or taking bread out of the mouths of their own families (in taxes) to feed these devils with rations as above, or to enricn the contractors and dishonest agents. Within a hundred yards of where I am writing, the Indians are assembling to the Bound of the tom-tom, to entertain a delegation of reveread gedtlemen who arrived here as a commission yesterday. When tbe war dance is over, of course, they will have the usual feast and away go9s the bacon, Ac. There is a mitraleuse standing a few yards off, and I honestly believe that it would be doing our country and uoa a service to turn it loose on tbe howling, yelling red devils. To give you an idea as to tbe influences which nave been at work here to improve the MORAL CONDITION OK THESE PEOPLE. It seems to have been a place of refuge for outlaws, among other things. Upon our approach, no less than five murderers fled to other parts, murderers of whites living and pursuing civilized avocations in the valleys of the Platte, Cherry and Laramie. These murderers were whites or half breeds, not Indians, the latter belong in another roster. One of these, I understand, was employed, until our arrival,' as mail-carrier between this agency and .Spotted Tail. The buildings at this agency are quite extensive and have cost, the Lord knows . bow muchbut as the Indians have burned np all tbe oottonwood and box elder near (they cannot burn cedar or pine on account ot the smoke), the agency will nave to De moved, or the department haul fuel for the noble reds. You remember one of the reasons for moving the agency to this point was on account of all the wood having been burned near the old one. I understand that it cost several thousand dollars to move the agency here, but what was moved, except a smaii amount or subsistence stores, re mains to be shown. Buck is here as an aid-de-camp. He has had his trowsers reinforced with buckskin and has gone over with Jules E. Coffey, to take lunch with Red Cloud, Red Dog, or jome otner ilea skin. Tours, Mack.

"OLD TIMES."

There's a beautiful song on the slumbrous air. That drills mrouga me vauey oi arem; It came from a clime where the roses were. And a hopeful heart and bright brown hair i'hat waved In the morning beams. Soft eves of azure and eyes of brown. And snow-white foreheads are there; A glimmering Cross and a glittering Crown, A thorny bed and a couch of down, Lost hopts and leaflets of prayer. A breath of Spring In the breeaty woods. bweet wafts from the quivering pines Bine violets' eyes beneath green bsods, A bubble of brook lets, ascent of bads, Blrd-warbles and clambering vines. A resy wreath and a dlmp'ed hand, A ring and a slighted vowThree grlden links of a broken band. A tiny track on the snow-white sand, A tear and a sinless brow. There's a tincture of grief In the beautiful song I oat sobs on tue slumbrous air, And loneliness felt In the festive throng, Hink down on the soul as it trembles alonj From a clime where the roses were. We heard it first at the dawn of day. And it mingled with rus! In chimes. liut year have distanced tne beautirui lay, Aua its melody tloweth from far away, And we call It, now, Old Times. TIIROUUH LIKK, (Chamber's Journal.) We slight tbe gifts that every season bears.

LIFK OP A DAISY LIFE 12 A FLOWIHK SR. The following curious fancy was written by a young girl whose relatives are well known in this city the daughter ot Oliver Talbot and the grand-daughter of James P. Drake. It is thus introduced in tbe Cannelton Reporten A few weeks ago the death of Miss Annie Torbel, tbe young and beautiful daughter of Mrs. Henry N. Wales, formerly ol this place but now of Newbureh. was announced. She died at lluntsvllle. Alabama, at the residence of her grand-father Oeneral James P. Drake, where she had gone In the vain hope of recovering her healtu. rhe was so loved by her school mates, and all who were acquainted with her that the following beautiful narrative of 44 Tbe Life of a Daisv." found amonz her school papers and one of the last of her school day tasks, will to them have a peculiar Interest as being so characteris tic of her heart and mind. Viewed In the lieht of her then almost departed spirit, the tone of sadness which pervades tnis pretty story of the raodcMt flower, almost forces the conviction that she was writing ber own sad nistory: TUE LIFE OF A DAISY. Late in the spring I was sitting near a table on which there was a boquet oi flowers. Overhang ing the edge of tbe glass was a little daisy, faded and on the way of death, where Its little bright face no more eladdens the heart of man. But it is only a striking illustration of his own mortality, and anoiher evidence of the adage. " Earth s beauties must perish." l had been in a reverie, and awoke from it on bearing myself saving aloud, " How Interesting the lite of this litUe nower would De, it it coin a ten lis story.' The little leaves rustled, the place was breath lesslv still. and the daisy paid: 44 The first l can reraeniDer, is or blooming in the thick forest, tn the nook of a beautiful beech, ilow pleasant it was there ! with my two sisters, sleeping a little way under the earth in winter; springing up wnen tne merry spring birus woke us : feaiing nothing ; when it rained, resting against the broad root of our tree, we bloomed year after j-ear. If we woke In the winter night too early to stand the cald winds, our good tree would warm us bv gentle murmers wnicn would gradually sine us to sleep, liica we would not wake un til tne Diriis cnirpea wawewe; lurea oy tne warm sun and rain. I grew ambitious, and wi-hedil could travel, and finally prevailed udou rav sister to accompany me ; though my older sister, wiser than we, did all in her power to persuade us to be quiet ami contented, and qui risk our lives. She said she knew of man daises who had been killed when they ventured near paths freuuented by man, and she herself narrowly escaped, an 1 would have been killed if the tree had not sent a leaf to protect her. But we would not profit by her experience. Alas! we have paid dearly for our rashness, One bright autumn day, after bidding the tree and our weeping sister good bye, we left our na tlve woodland and started on our travels. Our leaftleis had fallen off, and In our plain round travelling habl.s we were carried gently along by the wind ; our Journey for awhile lay through the woods, and we Bklmmed lightly o er th-i mossy mounds, beds of fall flowers and beAUfuaivarieeated leaves. Before this we hardly ever saw the flashing maples dress, but In iKa tiiAout 1 AO VAS f"kf nur hiuwih SI r I aah a a it sometimes happens a neighboring oak's leaf blew near that had orten beam or children from our sister. Though we bad never seen them, we had often enjoyed tneir laughter ringing through the woods use stiver cnimes, which now lent an lndiscribable charm to beautiful natural scenery, and enlivened our hearts which were Inclined to be sad from leaving loved ones we were never to see again. iSome children gathered nuts; others flowers all Joyous and happy, reminding us, as tney fluttered here and there, of butterflies, so bright and beautiful did they seem. My later experience shows me even more forcibly this likeness. I have seen these pure, beautiful beings one moment teeming with life. In another they are faded or vanished. When we saw them pulling the unsuspecting flowers, to a second, fearing we might share the same fate, we were frightened ; but our fear soon nassed awav when we remembered our unconspicous attire of plain brown, which is called a nower seed by man. once in passing a stream tbe wind lulled, and .my sister, whom I will hereafter call Bister ttnow-white. came very near falling In and thus carried away from me, Dut nappuy we were aDie to grasp me protruding banks, where we stayed until tbe wind arose, when we followed the stream through Its windings. This was tbe most pleasant part of our journey, ueiore emerging irom thelorest tbicket, recks ana steep aecnvitics interfered with tbe course of the little brook, but It rushed bravely over them and fell a great way below Into a natural stone basin at the foot of the falls, wberd it quietly puisued Its way till It reached the meadows. By this time the season had so far advanced and tbe weather be lb a; a little cool, sister &now-wblte and ravself thought we had better sleep under the earth till spring. We chose for our winter abode the rich soil of an oia stump near me Danks of the stream. How often aid we wish ourselves at home during tnat long winter nignt. Early In tbe spring we peeped up and watched the other flowers as each In succession hravl tbe early hardships, we bloomed near a family of blue and yellow violet. They were such kind and Dieasant neighbors, always noddin? and bowing their sweet little heads to ua, as if trying k impreaa upun urn lurir - lasuag 1 1 lend ship and faithfulness to tnose tney love.

As she gracefully bent over tbe bank to watch the fish In the clear stream, or bold converse with the waterlilies, or turn tbe wind to send messages to the nowera lurmer on in inemeaaow.T saw. tne e nsisiencvof making the language of so beautiful a child as the unconscious beautv. lint one day ray dreams of bapplness in this valley were enaea. un: ii nnow-wniie naa not been so beautiful those thoughtless children wou.d not nave punea ner. i;ut she was, and what eave me most pleasure was sfterwarda tbe eause of my sorrow. I was left alone and sad. Nothing now couiu give me pleasure, tnough ray flower miinsuoiuiuui uiev coma to cueer una con sols me. Here the little daisy was so over come bv natt remembrances thai, she had to discontinue her story for a mlnu'e or so, to give vent to her teats, bhesoon recovered sufiiciently to finish her affecting narrative. Unable to Lay where ever; thing reminded me of my sister and flhed tne with grief for br fate, I resolved to seek forgetfalness In travel ing. Accordingly one, dreary fall afternoon I ws blown, by the first barp, cutting wind, ( as severe as my first sorrow,) over valleys, hills, cities and towns. I no more loitered on tne way to watch the children, listen to the murmuilas brooks, or talk with the flowers as lhad done on my iormer journey with my sister; but rush ed sorrow in Kir and despairingly on on with that element of which we know not ' whence It oometk or whither it goeth." I remember In passing a preclpioe of a mountain I was and denly thrust in the earth. Belnz tired and atrl tated I fell asleep, and did not wake till late In wo summer, i almost wisnea x oouid sleep for

This seemed to oeaiaorue hunting ground, and it was so Interesting, though sometimes fea ful, to watch the hunters fierce encounwr with the angry animals. One dark nlzhtwe wpt-p terrified h-r therle of a man, who we afterwards found was murdered there, and his bodv thrown inthecavM. toon after this, Ke learned this forest was the abode of robbers, which horrified us so we thought seiloasly of leaving the place forever, but after a while we ceased seeinflr the lnrklntr men carry lne their stolen treasures into the cave, and so concluded to remain. We did not bloom in this place (which seemed so much like a paradise.) entirely unmolested ; for. rmm a Village back Of the mnnnUln.ililli1n wan. Hored after us. Dreadful was the havoc, as one ft ter another of our companions' bloom was severed from the root, and their withering corpses grasped tiahUy In the heated hands of tneir nearness dest rovers. Often were these del icate flowers the victims of horses or cows, who mercilessly ninned them, and then (ilailulnfnllv cast them on the ground, after cruelly wounding and eventually kUling them. I was finally dug up. oy a inue gin, aud carried to a neat little garden, where 1 was treated with care. Her name was Lotta. Here I had to make new acquaintances. It took a long time, as 1 was llmid, because the flowers in the vsrden were cultivated and! was not. Though nothing, in my opinion, could exceed the mcdest excellence of the children of the wood, nevertheless there were many flowers in this earden with sublime aud loity sentiment, induced by hard study. One day a handsome rose get anium startled me, oy saying - many are loveiy, but you excel them all." The acacU said, " we will be friends." lbe carnation ''disdained me. though iheAltnea toia her not to act contrary to reason;" then the Japan rose said. "litv is so e.llT changed to love."

'Ihe first lecture was upon "Inspiration, Structure ot the Urea thing Organs; ilow to Strengthen the Lutigs and Bronchial Tubes." The lecture was beautifully illustrated and explained by the aid of a stereopticon with highly finished colored views. Mrs. Lyman alluded to the different states of the blood, the different colors and thick ness of the millions ot little glands that pick up wbat is impure, and how taken off; how cancers are formed from tbe diseased blood, and how the brain is affected when the blood Is impure. The lecturer went on to say that nine-tenths of the suicides were committed from poisonous blood, which affected tbe brain, for bad blood can never reason. Crime, she said, would never cease until the capitalist would build small houses for the poor. I'ent np air gives Dad blood.

BITTER SWEET. PRESS COMMENTS. rJiUM UJiA YE tO OA Y, FROM LIVELY TO SKYER E. A DEAD SECRET. a S. . V a . . r rom ma ranaun uemocrat ; Whose organ Is it? This question presents itself to every reauer oi it newspaper now published at our state capital, under the cognomen of The In dianapoils Sentinel. That it is not the organ of the democracy of Indiana, is a fact demonstrated dally in the editorials of that paper. Its sympathles are elsewhere than with democrats. In the recent campaign in our sister state of Ohio, when politicians of all sections of tbe country were eagerly watching the progress of the politi cal conflict there when democratic hearts of the entire country beat In barmonv with AUen Thurman and other gallant leaders in that state in tne enon to plant the victorious nag or democracv on Ohio soil. ih. renunei was "givinsr aid and comfort" to the republican candidate for governor, instead of lending a helping hand to mete on t Justice to tne index grabber, xsoyes, its columns were usea to snie.u mm from tbe lust indigna tion o' a people sick and tired of olllclal corruption. If Its editorials are to be taken as evidence of whose organ It is, the careful reader is not lea in aoum as to tne effect of Its teachings. If the Sentinel seeks support as a democratic paper, ua present tone must be changed, eine It will either terminale Its existence inbankruDtcy, or find its sustenance at the breast of radical reptimicanism. its editorials may be demon stratlve of journa lstic talent, but tbe spirit which pervades them Is only the more perni cious, oe mist in me lascinating roDes in wblch its heresies nud assaults are adorned. In the coming presidential campaign, the democracy of Iudiana cannot attord to to go to buttle recognizing a paper of the character of the sientluel as now conducted, as its or gan. it would ue as well, or better perhat, to depend on the dubious generosity of the radical lonrnu hy way of contributions to their col umns as a means of disseminating the principles oi tue ueinocracy, man to support and counte nance, as an organ of the parly, a paper proftas edly democratic, but tireless in its exertions to bring prominent democratic men and measures Into disrepute. Versatility of talent, untiring industry, youthful vivacity, and a smattering Knowledge oi an mines mat wag in the world are proper things In their pi aces, but if uncontroied oy principles, tneir usefulness is not woi thy of note. A SCREAM FROM THE EAOLE. From the Taoli Eagle: The Indianapolis State Sentinel cannot see any advantage that the democratic party has gained In the recent elec tionsit persists In attributing the defeat of the republicans to the action of the liberal republi cans, entirely. According to the Sentinel, tbei e is no democratic party tbe democracy have been merged into the Oreeley party. Yet,i Sentinel to be considered the democratic state organ, and Is doing all it can to break np tbe oeinocrauc organization in inaiana. it seems very strange to us, that the bentinel composed of democrats, would permit a fledgling from the rnuune omce u control tne columns or tne De mocratic state organ, buch a course cannot and will not be tolerated by the democracy of Indiana, ihe sooner the sentinel company un derstands this matter, the better it will be for hem . HOW A2T ORGAN SEES IT. From the Brookville American : The Indian apolls Sentinel is In bad odor with the Demo cratlc press of Indiana, all for the reason that it la not a cringing, sycophantic 'organ' and wil ling tool for the bourbon element of the democratic party which is now in the van In the man agement of the party machinery. Since the rising up' of old Bill Allen In Ohio, the democracy all over tbe country hav e dropped their pre tended liberalism and don u od their old garb of bourbonism, and In the belief that their party is about to be restored to its old prestige and power, are engaged in the work of 'whipping in' such men and papers as do not go the 'straight ticket.' We notice the Democrat joins the list of howlers for an 'organ' at tbe s ate capital." A GOOD SIQX. Fort Wayne Gazette: A "Libel epidemic' seems to rage among the newspapers. The New York Tribune has two or three large ones on Its hands; the Springfield Republican has Juit been sued tor 1300,000. Each of the first class Chicago papers has. a suit of respectable proportions to fight. And now comes the Indianapolis Sent! nel, wnicn is suea oy one ur. Joie, ror zuuuO. In these days of Independent, lntellgent, fearless, effective journalism, it is a pretty good sign that a pape does not amount to much that hasn't some characterless cuss hammering at it lor damage. A FRIKND X! NEED. From the Anderson Herald Tbe odors exhaled from the Indianapolis Sentinel office are - very obnoxious to tbe . olfactories of the democratic press, Judging from the gen era! tone of those papers. Tbe Sentinel's oosl tion of "nobody's organ" is a very unwise and precarious one, and lr tbe democratic party don't establish an organ at the metropolis in time for service in the next campaign. It will go into the contest without being fully armed and equipped. . fs . A MAN Or ANOTHER MIND From .the K )komoTribune : A lengthy abstract from the annual report of Honorable J. A.

' From the New Harmony Register: Tbe In dianapolis Sentinel has abandoned the princi ples of the oarty-that brought It Into ' existence and is now drifting about as it were without chart or compass to guide on the broad road to ruin, i It is no longer the representative expo nent of the true Jefferson lan doctrine, and the democracy of the great state of Indiana is to-day witnout an organ at tne capital., i A mno ligature.
