It I tnrnr !i DOW many OI ar. Tllton's poem seem to ha re some bearing on the preeni 1 rouble. Several have already been printed. Here Is another which has not yet been reproduced: THE KING'S WNU. , i. Once In Persia reigned a king. Who upon hs signet ring ti raved a maxim true and wise. Which, if he held before tola eye, 4ve him counsel at a glance Kit for every change or chance: Solemn word, and these are they, 4K vea this shall pasa away ! II. Trains of camels through the sand Rrougiit him gems from Kamarcand ; Fleets of galleys through theseas rSrouzht nlm pearls to sdl to these. Then he ranked as little gain Treasures of the mine or main. -What Is eaitnr' the king would say, JEven this shall pas away. in. I n revel with his conrt. At the tenth of the sport. When the plains of ail his gutsl Warned with clapping at his Jests, lie, amid hi ng and wine, frid, "U, loving friends of mine! pleasure comes, Taut not to say ! Kven this shall pass away.' IV. Hantln? with his horse and bound. He was hurled against the ground. Courtiers with a loud lament liora him bleeding to his tent; PVlowed then upon his chair, 'Paln.M he cried, ia hard to bear. But. with patience day by day, 'Even this Khali pass away. lAdv fairest ever Mn i aoe he lor his bride and queen, fonched upon his marriage-bed, VVhipe in to his soul, he said. "Though bridegroom never pressed Warm-r bosom to his breast, Mortal f.esh must come to clay, Kven this shall pass away.' ' TI. Towering In the public square, Twentv cubits in the lr, Rose his statute carved in brass. Tlien the kin?, who chanced to pass, ;iancing at his sculptured name, iSighed and murmured, "What is fame? Fame Is but a low aecay ! I veil thii shall pass away. VII. Iast of all the tale is told How the king grew blind and old. Then he said, "My son, kneel down. Take my blessing and n y crown ! Learn before thy days are spent That a inner rannt repent. eire the golden time to pray ! Fvn this shall pass away.' HOME AND FaRM. What the West needs is a prevailing effort to make better homes in the country and a cure of the propensity to more into towns and cities. Isn't it a pieee of criminal carelessness for parents who have young children to have cisterns and wells'exposed so that the little ones can fall in? There are fatal acc.dents of this kind almost every week. Prepare something for the county fair, l-ut don't do it for the sake of a premium, nor set vour heart on taking a premium. Contribute what will Interest and encourage others, and be sure not to bo annoyed about the premium. Lord Bacon neyer said a truer thinj than when he asserted th?.t nations, in their onward progress In civilization, Itejran with erecting' stal-ly edifices, and ended with highlv cultivated gardens. The common failing Is in building houses too large, and leaving the grounds naked and unattractive. The Tribune says: And now the maligned crow has come to the rescue, and is basily engaged in killing off and devouring the potato beetles. It may be that tbis needful and handsome service may go far to rts'.ore him to lost favor. The same testimony was piven by an Indiana farmer the other day. lie stated that a family ol crows cleaned his potato patch of bug. It has been questioned by some stock breeders why a ball which nine out often competent judges in the ring would select ks the better of the two, should sell for ?ö00 onlv, when the inferior one sold for $14,500 The odd f 14,000 was the price of the pedigree, according to some people's judgment. It is not necessary to kill fowls to get rid of the lice. Clean out the house and whitewash it thoroughly. Grease" the roostirg poles with a mixture of lard and kerosene oil, and renew it as it is worn off. The lice will foon disappear. A ltttle of the grease nibbed beneath the wings ol the fowls wi'l also aid to ih s effxt, Prof. Hamerton says: The study of animals inclines men to a steady cheerfulness. All naturalists are cheerful me", unless there i something peculiarly sad or painful in the individual lot; and even then the study of natural history has In manj- instances been known to supply an interest which enabled the sufferer to bear his affliction more easily. Sweetness asd Dareie s. Uere is a fact for some of our lady housekeepers. One of the ditlicutties in regard to the purchase of liquid or syrup honey in quantity is that it soon candie9or crystaliz. This difficulty can ba obviated by'keeping it in the dark, the change being due to - photographic action. The same agent tba; alters the molecular at rangement of iodide of silver on the excited collodion platn causes the syrup bon3yto assume a crystallic form. It is to this action of light that scientists attribute the working of Dees by night, and why they are so careful to obscure tne glass windows that are sometimes placed in thoir hives. Is this instinct or reason. . CHISCH BUOS. An Illinois farmer writes toth9 Tribune: I have been a close observer of the ways :ind doings of these pests from boyhood, and long before migrating to Kansas, I had cultivated their acquaintance. . That they appeared more prolific in certain localities than in others; that they seemed to pay their respects in a more decided way to some farm ers than others, my observations soon taught me. My curiosity as we:l H9 my interest led me to inquire into the causes of preteren-es thus expressed from year to year, and the following is the result of my investigations. Many sow wheat in the lall on "old corn ground, leaving the sttlk Hill Handing. Tre chinch but:, Uking shelter in the harbor provided ' by the stalk, there hibernates and - comes out the ensuing year like the armies ot Cadmus, increased as it were by magic, and prepared to levoar whatsoever thv find rtfore them. The wheat, ot course, first suffers. That harvested, tbjy pass orer without ceremony to the oat field, where thev again ieat and gather fresh accessions. Tue oats gathered into the garner, they again repair to the corn where they find a rich repast, and confidently expect to rind again a shelter from tne storms and tempests of the approaching winter. These observations Induced me and a few of my neighbor to gather together and burn all the old stalks and rubbisn accumulated on'the field before seeding. The consequence is that while man v crops of both wheat and corn have been literally destroyed by the ravages of these bugs, we have leen rewarded by an excellent wheat crop and bare a flattering prospect for an abundant yield of corn, as yet uDjured by the bug. Orchabd axd fruit. Joseph Cope in the fruit Recorder filvej a lesson: Young trees

should be cultivated In hoe-crop, and

manured if necessary, for some three or four years after planting; afterward mulch with straw, damaged hay, swamp (trass or any thing wbirn will Keep aown ine grssa inu retain moisture.

Don't plow or U98 . 1 - 1 any stable manure, ana my wow is that you will soon get me principal wuo 100 per cent, interest, laousu toe dry straw cost flO per ton, by netting more bushels of merchantable fruit than you now eel of knots. I know orchards which were nearly worthless that are now promaDie uy mulching. Alter packing the straw around under the limbs, press it lightly back with the hand, that the water may run down the trunk, preventing mice from cmkliDg nests. As to the preservation or iruu, i really shocking when we take into consideration that more . than one-half of the fruit stowed away in the fail, perishes by being put in cellars, caves, et. In such a manner 83 to really Invite impurities, ana causing aetomposition at the earliest possible day. There is no part of husbandry on which there is mo much carelessness lavished. Weju rd the wheat pile that not one peck to the one hundred bushels shall go to the loss, not apparently taking into consideration that at this very time our best rpples will de mand in tho market as mocn Der nusuei as wheat. Now, fruit properly rarel for, can be preserved with its natural flavor, to any reasonable desm d time. I have fruit now in fair condition, which was picked from the jfround.

RAISING BABIKS. fob the warm weather From a string of rules for the manage ment of infants during hot weather pre pared and published by the Obstetrical Society of Philadelphia, some of the most important are selected and subjoined for the benefit of young Hoosler mothers: llathe the child once a day In tepid water. II it i feeble, sponge it all .over twice a day . with tepid water and vinegar. The health of child depends much upon ita t-Ieanliness. Avoid all tight bandaging. Mike the clothing light and cool, and so loose that the child may have free play for its limbs. At nizht. undress it, sponge it, and put on alio. In the morning, remove the slip, bathe the child, and dress it in clean clothes. it this can not bo a Horded thoroughly air the day-clothing by banging it up during the night. Use ciesn dUpers, and change them often. Never dry a soiled one in the nursery or the sitting-room, aud nevr ue one for a second time without first washing It. The cnild should sleep by itself in a cot or cradle. It should be put to led at regular hours, and be taught early to go to sleep without being nursed in the arms. Without i he advice of a physician, never give it any spirits, cordia's, carminatives, soothing svrups or sleeping drops. Thousands children die every vear from the us thes3 Poisons. If the child frets and does not slten, if is either hungry or el?e ill. ill. It needs a physician. .Never quiet it by candy or cake, they are common causes diarrhea and of other troubles. Give the child plenty of fresh air: In the cool of the morning and evening, send it ou to the shidy.side of broad streets, to the public squares or to the park. Whenever it eems to eufler from the heat, let it drink freely of ice water. Keep it out of the roora in which washing or cooking ih going on Breast milk is the only proper food for in fants. If the supply w ample and the child thrives on it, no other food should be given while the hot weather last. It the mother has not enough she mast not wean the child, but give it besides the breast goat's or cow's milk. Nurse the child once in two or three hours during the day, and as seldom as possible during the nighr. Always remove the child from the breast as noon as it has fallen asleep. Avoid giving the breast when ycu are overheated or over ratiguea. If, unfortunately, the child must be brought up by band, it should be fed on milk diet alone that is, warm milk out ol a nursing-bottle. Goat's milk h the best, and next to it cow's milk. If the child thrives on this diet, no other kind of food whatever should be giyen while the hot weather lasts. At all seasons cf the year, but especially in summer, there is no safe substitute for milk if the Infant has not cut its front taetb. Sago, arrow-root, potatoes, corn-flour, crackers, bread, every patented food, and every arti cle of food cunta'uinr starch, can not and must not be depended on as rood for very young infants. Creeping or walking child ren must not be allowed to pick up un whole some rood. Each bottleful of milk should he sweetened byasnnll lump of loaf-sugar, or by half a teaspoonful of crushed sugar. II the milk is known to b9 pure, it may have onefourth part of hot water added to it; but if it is not known to be pure, no water need beadded. When the heat of the weather is great, the milk may be given quite cold. Be sure that the milk is unskimmed; have it as fresh as possible. The nursiug-l wttle must be kept perfectly clean, otherwise the milk will torn sour, and the child will be ill. Af .er each meal it should be ernp ied, nnsed out and taken apart, and the tube, co k, nipple and bottle placed in clean water, or in water to which a little soda is added. It is a good plan to have two nursingbottles and use them by turns. Do not wean the child just before or after or daring hot weather, nor, as a rule, until after its 3econd summer. If sucking disagrees with the mother, she must not wean the child, but feed it in part out of a nursing bottle, on such food as may be directed. However small the supply of breast milk, piovided that it agrees with the child, the mother should carefully keep it up against sickness; it alone will often save the life of a child whenever everything else fails. Says the Brooklyn Argus: Judge Dan iels, who presided over the late term of tie Extraordinary Court of Oyer and Terminer, started in life as a shoemaker. In the shop in which he was early employed at his trade were 10 journeymen, and they made an agreement among themselves that each should read an hour, alternately, for the beneQt of the others, throughout the working dav, and all worked aa hour extra, af terward, to make up tne time lost. Amons the books read ws Kent's Commentaries, from which the judge obtained bis first knowledge of law, and which led him to lor sake the bench of the craft and. after the practice of the law, to attain to the bench of the sapreme uourt." Before be had been in the academy a week he wrots to a friend compUioinz ot the treatment he had received of his fellows and tbbr letter being published intensified the hostility of the other cadets. Soon alter this he had a fight with cadet Wilson and cut bis lace with a dipper. Then followed the breach of discipline on drill, the court mirtial and ssntenc), and final!? the Con gressional investigation, which did not effect any g od. Nanth says that frequenly on fquad drill he was detached from his squad uy i ne cauti corporal, ana toia that he was not to stand side by side with white men. Saveral bandit, who were recently cap tured In the mountains of Santa Anna, Nicaragua, received 200 lashes each, a band of music being employed to drown their I cries.

THEODORE TILTOjr. The following poem appeared originally In the Atlantic Monthly: I watched her at her spinning; And this was my beginning Of wooing and winning. Bnt when a maid opposes. And throws away your rosea, You say the case forecloses. Yet sorry wit one ones. " Who loves and thinks be loses, Because a maid refui es. For by her once denying . She only means complying . Upon a second trying. When first I said, in pleading, Behold, my love lies bleeding!" She heard ma half unheeding. When afterward I told her And blamed her growing colderShe dropped upon my shoulder. Had I a donbt? Her verv look d Tli at q relied It, Her very look dispelled It, I caught her hand and held it. Along the lane I led her. And while her cheeks grew redder, I sought outright to wed k er. tJood end from bad beginning! My wooing came to winning Aud still 1 watch her spinning. PUBLIC HANGINGS. 'EXECUTIONS IX ENGLAND. THE TERRIBLE SC SN ES WITNE8SEO A DK BATE IX THE HOUSE OF LORDS EX I'EBT HANUM EN WANTED. The St. Louis Republican contains the following review of the past and present condition of capital punishment in England In the House oi Lords on July 9, Lord Dunsauv, in rising to call attention to the Ire qnent instances of unintended and unnecessary torture inflictel on criminals, in the execution ot capital sentences, through the clumsiness or inexperience of volunteer executioners, said that what they had to do in considering this question was to reflect whether there were sufficient instances to show that the present method of execution was attended with unnecessary and uncer tain suffering. He would refer to the iecent execution in Newgate of Frances Stewart, for the murder of her daughter's baby. The hanzman employed was named Marwood, from one of the Midland counties. The rope was said to be thicker and lonser than usual, and it slipped round to the back of the neck of the wretched woman, who struggled for at least three minutes before life was extinct. When death could be produced in a single second, to prolong a prisoners agony for two minutes and 00 seconds additional, wa superfluous and barbarous. In one well-known hanginz case the rope employed was too long, and the con vk-t's head was separated from the body ; In another, the man's feet touched the ground, and be did not hang at all. In an execution In Ireland not long ago, tne Irish papers declared that the criminal struggled for 20 minutes. In another cae he rope broke, and the prisoner fell to the pavement. He was carried, pinioned as he was, back to the drop, and a messen j?er sent into the town to get a new rope. The prisoner cried for mercy, exclaiming: "The first time I stood it like a brick, and I don't think I ought to be hanged again." The sheriff, however, had no option, and when the rope wa procured the man was suspended a second time. A FEARFUL SPECTACLE. Such seances are unworthy of a civilized country, and they might at any tUne occur again. The system wns one under which the most unequal suffering was inflicted, ou different individuals, according to the clumsiness or inexperience of the hangman and the lightness or weight of the body of the culprit. He remembered a criminal named Tawell, who was hanged many years ago for the murder of a woman at Siongb. He was a small and light man, and he struggled so long that the hangman jumped upon his shoulders until bo died. W as that a seemly or decorous spectacle? Iieath by hanging was death by strangulation, and that, to be effectual, required that the integuments of the windpipe should be crushed. , In the case of a muscular pugilist these entegnments were not easily broken, and death, if it occurred, would probably be caused by diminishing the supply ot blood to the brain and by causing an apoplectic fit. Life in such cases would sometimes be only suspended, and hence there were well-authen ticated casts in which criminals had not only survived the punishment ot hanging, but had actuallv received the roval nardon. It might be assumed that In a small number of cases the same thing sua happened, and that consciousrss was merely suspended. They all knew that a very brief period elapsed between the cutting down and the burial. An inquest was immediately held. the surgeon certified the cause of death, and the body was immediately buried within the Erecinctsof the prison. Thus there might s cases like that recently reported from Paris, where a newly married woman was found to have turned in her coffin and to have bitter her shroud. He had said that there were were well authenticated instances ol criminals who bad survived executions, and he would mention a few. HALF HANGED MKO. The noble lord proceeded to mention sev eral cases from Notes and Queries, but the names of the criminals did not reach the gallery. He mentioned the case of a woman who had been banged in Edinburgh in 1724 tor child muraer, ana whose body was given for dessection, but before the dissecting knife was applied it was found she was not dead, and she lived for several years, married, had children, and il'QU llvflTI fflllAfl ''Half F T n rrtx fxr ' Another well authenticated case was re lated in the rolls of King Henrv III. These were cases which required some answer. If they had occurred once they might occur agaia. in the hrst resolution lie placed on the paper ho suggested the substitution of the guillotine tor the fallows, but the very mention of the guillotine shocked the feelings of many noble lords for whom he had great respect, although he could not help thinking that u any or them were placed in the unfortunate position of bavins to make a selection they would prefer to the S' cuillotine. The objection made to- the guilotine on the score of shedding blood was a sentimental one, for the authority to take human life was bseed on the passage "Whoso taketh man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." He hoped the govern ment would, as a doty to humanity, consider whether measures could not be taken to pre rent the rocarrecoe of such cases as that of Frances Stewart. He would not move the second of the two resolutions, recommend ing the 8panish garrote, and if the govern ment would take the matter into their own bands he bad no wish to press the first resolution, which, however, ho would conclude by movini?. It was as follows: 'That, in the opinion of the house, the present system oi executing criminals is attended with unequal and needless torture, and often leads to revolting and discreditable scenes THINGS OF THE FAST. Earl Beauchamp would not follow the noble lord through the ghastly storms be had narrated, some of which were rather Ir relevant. The quotations from Jeremy Bentham referred to a state of things long

jiisi, waen executions were conducted In a

manner very different from the present practice, and therefore no argument could be drawn from the list of criminals who had recovered after execution. In those days the method of execution was of a bungling character. A cart containing the criminal was drawn under the gallows, and the condemned fell with scarcely anv momentum beyond that derived from his own weicht. That part of the noble lord's arenment which was derived from aoch CHM9 WA Ml. tlrely disposed of by the altered cirenmstanceaofthe present time. He did not quite gather whether the noble lord contended that persons were killed or not killed under the present system. On inquiry at the home office h tcmnA there was no information on the subject, because the execution of the law re-ted with the local authorities, and th covernment was in no way responsible. He could not but believe that there had been a great deal of exaggeration and sensational writing in tne oescriDiion oi executions in the newspapers. Young gentlemen were generally entrusted with the doty of reporting what occurred, and they knew that their occupation wouia soon come to an end unless thev could furnish a sensational account, and one mil oi thrilling interest: and therefore he could not help thinking that if any defect did occur the most was made of it. He did not mean to say there was not some foundation for the descriptions which had been given; but the truth was, an execution was not a matter of such everyday occurrence that it was easv to find persons expert in the work. Henry Drummond once said in the IIoueof Commons that the onlv way to teach a man a trade was to set him to work at it, and the only way a man could learn to be an expert hangman was to have sufficient practice. EXPERTS SEEDED. Happily, capital sentences were compara tive! v few. and hangmen had little chance to qualify themselves; and yet he had reason to know that there was an active competi tion in mat rjrancn oi traae. l nere were plenty of volunteers, but It did not follow that a volunteer was an expert performer: it was a morbid taste which induced men to volunteer, and not their fitness to do the work with accuracy and dispatch, or in ac cordance with Isaak Walton's advice to the angler es to the method of putting a worm Mm P.in'ul i,ioiHr,t .Vilot times occur at executions, but the accounts were often tainted with exaggeration. The government was not prepared to assent to the resolution of the noble lord, who himself seemed doubtlul as to the best means of in llicting capital punishment. Last week he asked them to express a preference for the guillotine; but an article in the Encyclope dia Britannica (which he quoted) showed that that instrument wai neither immedi ate in its result nor unilorm in its op eration, and a similarly adverse conclusion with reference to the garrote would be drawn from the evidence taken by a com mittee ofthat house some j ears ago, when a witne-s wa examined who gave a descr p.Sam I. a i A-tcjc Kt.r w loaQ n a fairfiiiV,la MUU j tuu UM teas jy uvr lucniia äa i j la uiu. as compared wiih our system. Under all the circumstances, there were excellent reasons why their lordships should refrain from passing the resolution. Ixrd Dunsany having said a few words in reply, denying that the extracts which the noble earl bad read had proved his case, the motion was negatived. ROBBERY ON THE CENTRAL PACI EIC. THE PISH0XFST TREATMENT OF IMMIGRANTS OS THE PACIFIC RAILBOAD HOW THE SWINDLES ARK PERPETKATEU. The Sin Francisco Call contains the fol lowing concerning the robbery of travelers on the Pacific railroad : J. E. Wynne, who recently arrived in Sacramento from the Eat, furnishes the Union with the follow ing narrative ol an evil which, instead of diminishing, is rapidly increasing: Last Wendesday nignt a robbery was committed by some of three card monte thieves who ply up and down on tLe Central Pacific railroad trams between uattie Mountain and Truckee, and by making public the fact you may help to put unwary travelers on their enard. At the former station thi ee fellows got aboard, and toward midnight had succeeded In catching a yictim, whom they got into the smoking car, and In less time tnan 11 taKes to write had re lieved him of a gold watch and all the mon ey he had. namely, J40. His fin eer being rather swollen, they failed to get his ring. The game was thus played: One fellow, dressed roughiv, threw the cards, another held the stakes, and the third acted as umpire. Nearly all the passengers were asleep, and the individual who was thus swindled, and who was stupid from the effects of wbisky.did not realize his position. friend of mine, while passing through the smoking-car to his sleeping-birth, saw the whole game, and came to relate the story to me. 1 recommended that we look into the affair, and finding the dupe, we shook him up. He informed us that he was on his way to California to seek a home, and left bis wile and child ln;New lork till be he bad looked around, and that it wfts only too true that he bad been robbed of all be had. He said he w ould ever leel thankful if the gamblers could be got to deliver up his watch, which was valued by a ieweler on the cars at 200. I told him to come and point out to the conductor the man who had his watch and money. After the fellow was identified. I informed him that he was breaking the rules ol the railroad company, that no such games were allowed, and that he had Detter DELIVER UP THE PROPERTY. The only notice the swindler took of our demand was to remark that; he would put daylight through ue, and accompanied the remark with a movement toward his coat. and use of the foulest language. I told him he had better deliver up, or perhaps be might never see daylight again. By this time the excitement ran high through the train, rnd all the passengers in the firstclas8 cars were aroused and joined in demonstrations of anger. Several threats of lynching were made, and the lajies were loudly, demanding the restitution of the property. I told the conductor it was his duty to gt the property and pat the fellows off the cars; but his words were that he could not protect the passengers, as be had enough to look after the tram, and that he did not want to have himself shot; that those fellews were hard cases, and, as he had to travel up and down the line, they might any time lay him out. I could well understand this, for the men were over six fe9t and Jarge in proportion, and armed, of course. They virtually ruled the train that night, and it is evident the conductor has a nard time to deal with such chaneter, trat -he company will have to do something to protect their trains and their passengers. Toward morning, when the agitation was at its highest, by some inducement the conductor got the watch back. No dourt they found they were getting in too hot a place, and they took the conductors advice to deliver np, but the money wa retained, .The original sum was $40, out after pocketing the wa'ch and the money they gave him $5, that he might buy bread. There can be but little sympathy lor those who play with these fellows, when a notice to beware is posted in every carriage, but the rictim' In question was stupidly drunk. That we succeeded in getting the watch back was looked upon as a decived victory over the villains. The owner of it went to Stockton, where he probably now is a sadder but wiser man,

An Independent Newspaper,

THE INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL. TEE NEWSPAPER OF INDIANAÜN TRAMMELED AND NONPARTISAN. DAILY, SCJTDAT Aim WKXXXT. Concerning Its general features as a newspaper. the Sentinel will hold 1U rank aa the foremast In the State, by a continuance of the same policy of UberaJ expenditures whenever events ef Mteraent occupy the public mind. The features It r which this paper has become popular and dJaUncnished during the last year, will be carried oat still more fully, if possible, the coming yet r, and every department made of vital, abiding interest and usefulness to the home circle, the minister, the lawyer, the educator la short, all classes who want a pure and upright press, cntrammeled by party and un warper! by prej udi eev The Sentinel has no policy to maintain aa o poeed to the will of the majority. Its columns are meant to be a fair reflex of the rational wil. of the community, where all men can have u hearing freely. The Sentinel believes that a oontlnoanoe of the baleful party Ism oJT the past must inevitably sap the foundation of the Re public and destroy every distinctive feature of democratic government. To this end it enoenrages heartily the obliteration of the corrupt power which has strangled honesty in office du rlng the last seven years; a power which brings the nation Into bankretcy on the verge of the new year, and by its flagrant disregard of the first principles cf government, plunges tee country into all the hardships of war and pes tilence. Under whatever conditions reform may tone, . the Sentinel will give its best efforts for its sceceas, maintaining at all timet its own perltet freedom to uphold and maintain genuine, not lmulated reformation. On the great Industrial questions, now moving the public mind, the Sentinel wul maintain m hearty, earnest co-operation with all struggling men seeking to better themselves mentally physically, and every way. It believes that the present revenue laws work: mischievously and discriDilnat)y against the producer and In lavar of the non-producer, and that any reform whJcls does not make armera' rights and revenue re form solid plants of Its platform and active measures in its policy, does not deserve the ijm pa thy of Intelligent men THE FARMERS' MOVEMENT Received its first recognition In this section from the Sentinel. Its efforts shall continue t be directed toward the strengthening of that design. In its opposition to pohtlcal, railroad sad iirvartfiai monopoUes, the Sentinel will conti una an honest support. While farthering all Inter esti in this direction, wisdom must be called 1 - " ! to keep the crusade against public abuse, monop olies, and the like, from degenerating Into dem agoguery. In all emergencies of this nature, the Sentinel will attempt full and impartial Justice to all who trust it. The Bentinel Is not only the completes! newspaper in its presentation of news and Its comments thereon, but it Is a visitor every day la the year for the 3G5 days omitting no publication on any pretext. It in this respect, one of the most valuable news mediums in the Btate. In short, the Sentinel means to keep ahead o the brilliant progress of the State. It means to give voice to the most liberal, enlightened and' purest sentiment of the time, and in this respect claims a distinctly special mission. Itdependa ? on its character as an independent and fearless-1 news medium -for growth and support, and. makes no pretext of cheap premiums to securer relnctant supporters. ITS? MAKKET REPORTS, Regular, special and compiled, are tha fullest, most diversified and complete presented In any Journal of similar rt sources In the country. Its law, educational and Industrial reports, which have attracted general attention In the past, shall be con tinned with equal care and accuracy in the future, and no cost spared in perfecting such details aa will reader them In every way the features of Indiana Journalism. In a special way, the Sentinel Is better able to present a complete newspaper than any of its rivals in the W est. It has no party obligations o f any character, and Is coo se. quently enabled to give ail sides of current ot ntroversies, Irrespective of prejudices of men or parties. As a reflex ef ttie growth ef Indianapolls, the Bentinel takes marked precedence of all rivals. Its city columns are fuller in detail and more accurate in preparation than any similar department in the West, snd the fact la attested by the Sentinel's universal circulation in the city.
