THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL THURSDAY. APRIL 20 1875.

THURSDAY. APRIL 29.

Orth has tailed for Vienna, where he wi) probably stay until Governor ITend ricks sends somebody to take his place. It is row rumored that the Krasshoppe haä narked Missouri for hisowntbi sum mer. If there be any truth in thU tele graphic report there i3 serious cause for alarm to adjacent states. One theory of the progress of the grssohopper plague held that, the insects were advancing ircrn year to year, the new generations snrlcsing up where the old ones perished and the invasion progressing rapidly cast ward. The best ecientific autberitits did not favcr the theory, bat the facts ia regard to the career of tha plague scera to conform it. If Missouri is now doomed it txjboovc Illinois and Indiana to eet to work and stop thfnvnainn If human inrenuitv be avail able to stay the march of the curso. Tlic surr2.n'jatfd patriots who have been tanjrinj around Washington for tho last six or seven months, borrowing money ior their drinks, end ttandiag off their bote keener?, with the expectation of cettinz the appointment as receiver ot tho administra tion's infirmary at the Hot Springs, bad better start homo before 'the sprinc rains Bet In and spoil tha walking, Though the court ot claiin3 bolia that tho title Js ve-jied in the gcnoral government, it decidod yesterday that it would not enter tain, any motion for the appointment of a receiver until the appeal now poudlng in the Supreme Court shall have boon heard and an ODinion rendered. The decision fell like a thunderbolt in an interested circle o administration admirers. The European correspondents givo gor geons descriptions of the visit of the Em peror of Austria to Venice It is thought that bis kindly reception by Victor Eman uel has some deep political significance; but to the ordinary observer his preyence in Venice was suggestive of ether thoughts then srwnlations In rojrard to possible diplomatic intrigues. It is but a short time aso that the Austrian held northern Italy under bis iron yoke, and the Bride of tho Adriatic Hfphfld in foreisn chains. Now, liberated Venice turns out in holiday tttiro to welcome her former tyrant, and sings tho national authein, "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser," the sound of which she curjod fo heartily a short time ago. Tho pageantry o! a royal reception, it is said, was more wonderlul in Venice than it could have b?on in any oher city, for her notlest streets are paved with the vav?a of the sea. and her processions moved among rl,ivs in rich zondolas. Tlio future of Italy looks bright, and she .'3nd3 to-day perhaps more powerful among the nations ot Europe than at any time since Rome fell, but for Venice the past is more full of glory thin th3 future. Few cities of Europe have s-uch a grand record. She will never hco an er3 of such wealth and prosperity, as w hen the received the carrying trade ci the tat, and distributed it to the continent wipn her galleys ruled the inland i-eas, and her statecraft was felt in all tho courts of Europe. United Italy may have a grand destiny, but its people must bestir themselves indeed if ttey surpass the achievements of the lree cities of tho Und in art, litSrature, science and arms. The nationality that absorbs Rome, and Venice, and Florence, ought to play a prominent part in tho coming centuries. The Starke County Ledger gives a timely word of counsel to the farmers of that region in regard to enforcing the amo law the coxing saason. It urges the formation of organizations lor the purpose of watching and prosecuting for violation? of tho law. Experience proves distinctly that without organization little or nothing will Le d;ne to prevent the wholesale, piom&turs and murderous destruction of young prairie chickens this yeir tha same as ia the past. The statute prohibits the killirg of any prairie chicktti3 until after tie L'th day ol August, All true sportsmen and friends ol the game, an well as all honest and lawabiding citizens, deIre to seo the law compiled with, and that, too, without exception. It may be presumed that a very large msjority of tLe poo- , pie will observe the restriction, although nothing i3 more trying than to do this when the reports of guns on the prairie a week or two before the time, tell the story that the flocks of younsc chickens are being sacrificed by the few unscrupulous hunters who follow the business of killing gsmo for the market, or the farmers themselves who never fail to hunt b6fore the time allowed by law. In Starke county and all the north part of the fcUts, the pot hunters far the Chicago market come in like swarms o'. plunderers, for the very purpose of reaping tba harvest of game which tb law haw preserved for them, but which they do not propose to regard. There are special rcabops why the people of the country should form the organizations proposed. Sportmon's clnb3 in the cities do what they can to enforce the law, but there ar9 peculiar batacle in the way of their good intentions. In the first place they are not iu a situation to dstec. the culprits till aller the mischief is Cone. They may watch the markets and shipments, it is true, and possibly punish the misdemeanor, but they can not prevent the feilling. There is a worso trouble tbnthis. A3 bofora intimated, a large p&it of the unlawful hunting is done by tho young farmers in tho country, most of whom keep the bast of guns and biid doss, and are among the bc-it shots of tha country. From tLo middle cf July the Sundays are tuado riotous wi'h the bittl :;!! tho bird i. Now, if tha sportäUifcn'd clubs undertake to prosecute those parties who violate the law on their own ground, it arouse3 violent hostility toward men from the city, which takes the ' form or retaliation Dy or: a - ' - t

any private grounds to hunt

at any time. The citizens of the country, If organized, can manage this whole master with comparative success. They can guard the hunting grounds and expel Intruders before thev have done their work. Again they can with propriety restrain each other from" tLe wrong, and keep their own young men out of the field on Sundays and ether dava ior the last three or four weeks of restriction. In fact if farmers' organizations were made in every county where prairie chickens are huntod.it would create a prevailing senti ment which would sustain the law and its rigid enforcement. Eat, as before stated, without concerted action nothing can be done. It is not very pleasant for any single individual to array himself as the police man ot the field to interfere with his neigh bors. Indeed, he can not do it. But if all nnit9, it then protects each one from Odium ard makes the thing easy. The destruction of tha prairie chicken, which, under the present reckless practices, prom ises extermination, is a serious evil, which has of late attracted much attention and called out severe comment. The statute limits the raid to begin quite as early as is consistent with the escape of any. Before that date, and while the hall grown birds are yet following the mother In broods, with a good dog to brin? them out. there is no chance for any to escape. Such havoc is only equalled by the murderous work of the win ter when the snows have driven them to cover in the corn fields or on the fences. It ia pertinently suggested that the grangers, already prepared for concert of action, may do excellent service in assisting the enforcement of the game law, which would entitle them to the gratitude of all. Prof. Marsh, of Yale Collece, has let a little sidelight In upon the management of Indian affairs. lie was collecting fossils and geological specimens in the Bad Lands last fall, and in order to conciliate the Indians in that vicinity he gave a feast to Red Cloud and his companions. The great Sioux chief made bitter complaint of tho stylo in which the Indianagents were cheating hi3 people. He said that the president had promised many fine thlng3 when the chiefs were last m Washington, but nothing had boen done to protect hij people. Prof. Marsh, in order to retain the good will of the Indians, prom ised to represent their hardships to Presi dent Graut, and took from Red Cloud speci mens of the kind of flour, coflee, tobacco and sugar that the agent was serving out to his tribe. The professor, being like most scholars, a man of his word, took occasion on his first visit to Washington, to ex hibit to the proper authorities the goods which a paternal government b3nt on civilzing the untutored savage, is distributing. A Tribune dispatch gives tha result : "The commissioner admitted that the Hour was very bad, but said that it was net a sample of that now issued, but of soma that was issued several years ao, and which was so poor that the ponies would not eat it. lie sali also that Red Cloud must have picked out the black beans of tho coffee; that tho sample of sugar had been wet, and that the tobacco, which was execrable, must C9 some issueu aw ujluo iwimci uluc. . If the Indians attain Christianity on such a diet, it is plain that the old-fasbioned tylecf getting religion by mortification and fasting is a very effective one. The itinerant geologist told the commissioner that the agent was not, judging from personal ob servation, a fit man for his position, but the commissioner philosophically remarked that he was good enough for the wages he was getting.

That gentleman's admirers are confined to no part of the country. His reputation national as the reputttion of the future speaker of the House ot Representatives ought to bo. Iiis friends are to bo found on both sides of the Alleghany Mountains, and thousands who are aiilicted with soft money on the brain re gard him with pride and confidence as one of the foremost democrats ot the country. They may differ with him on one point, but they nerertheless trust thoroughly in bis honor and ability. East and West he has hosts of friends, and all the enemies that it becomes every honest and aggressive man to have. Neither will the South be apt to forget that be was, daring the gloomy re construction period, its boldest champion in congress, when championship of the South was by no means so easy and popular as it is row. We are getting utterly sick of the tnpid lolly ol the Enquirer. What would the democrats of Ohio think ol this paper it should spend its time abusing and bely ing Governor Allen or George H. Pendleton, or soma other loadlsg representative man of that Etat? PERSONAL AND POLITICAL. Mme. Ristori never takes a sleeping car, but sits up and out the longest railroad Durney.

A bill was pre3entod on Tuesday, in New York, against the estate, for a gold watch and chiin, sold to Piinc9 Erie in 1871, amounting to $120. An Ohio paper publishes a horrible caricaare and cock and bull story of old Bill Alien shooting tb3 dfg and breaking the gun of a hunter who tad tresspaesed upon bis farm. This is a shrewd dodge to catch the granger ycte. They say Grant's praedfather loaded his gun twice at Lexington and fired success fully; but when he fired it the third time tho

old blunderbuss 'bust' and killed him. The grandson should be warned and not load for

a third shot. Richmond Enquirer. Mrs. Palmer, one of the Becher witnesses in the scandal suit, said she could see spirits floating around the court room, but could not determine their character. Thev cer talnly were not good and pure spirits, else meywouia not hare been caught loafing around m that atmosphere. the Mobile Register dissents from Semmes' advice that Alabama refuse to be represented at Philadelphia, and adds: "Flt better, it seems, to us, woull it be to stand shoulder with them, to continue the battle not yet over for a restoration of the Union upon the basis of co-equal states, and for an Obliteration of bitterness aid animosities which strike blindly at friends and foes alike." E. C. Brearly, assistant attorney reneral of the United States, and Mbs Emma C. Black, of Davenport, Iowa, were married at Rock Island Arsenal on the evening of the 2t3:h Inst. Great disappointment was caused by the quietness of the crtdr. The Chicago Times special says that friends of the young lady were makinir preparation lor a fashion able wedding, to take place next month The brides trousseau was ordered from ParL, and the elite of Davenport were mak lng every preparation to attend what they supposed would be the grandest affair o their lives; but the bride and groom, dis liking ostentation, concluded wh.le out rid' ing that day, to got married quietly, as aoove slated. The scafflns: editor of the Chicago Times thus treats one of the most solemn events recorded in the history of Indiana, stcred or secular: Dan Voorheea has foresworn the world, the flesh and the devil, including Indiana bourbonism and joined the rhurcb The defeat of his senatorial aspirations last winter has satisfied Don that this world is all a fleeting show, and he has begun elec tioneerlng lor any ot the soft things that may be lying around loose on the other side ol Jordan, lie received the liteol conhrma tion in the Episcopal Church at Terre Haute, yesterday, in company with Bayless W. Lianna, another of the Indiana hardsbells, not unknown to fame. The feelings of the officiating bishop on this occasion were, perhaps, not wholly unlike those of the .New England parson who, on Sunday, arter the "Great Expounder" had delivered his f Jmous 7th of March pro-slavery speech, prayed, with more ferveDcy than faith, O, Liord, try to bless 'Daniel Webster.' or words to that enact." CARPENTER'S CHARITIES. LICK-LIKE HE OIVETK AND HE TAKETH AWAY, OSLT UK HAS BETTER SUCCESS IN O ETTING IT BACK. Evansville elevates her horn eemi-occa-sionally over the charitable donations of her pet philanthropist, whose whims are thus touched up by a special correspondent of the Chicago Times : The most noted man in this community is Willard Carpenter, an old citizen, whose years number threescore and twelve, and whose purso is about a million ducats long. He ba3 lalely announced his InteEtion of founding a college lor the oor of thi3 section. Old Carpenter commenced his career by peddling from Vermont, ef which state he is a native, to Indiana. During a 40 years r-jsidencela Evansville, the old' man ras accumulated a large fortune ty speculation in real estate, and is now the possessor of more of the valued sod than any other man in southern Indiana. In this' article lien his principal w ealtb. He is a frugal old fellow, rather penurious, and goes about wearing bco:s down at the heel, breeches several inches too short, and other clothing equally unbecoming a man witu a purse as long ss his. He pre poses to efetablish a college, to be in charge ol hfteen trustce.Qve from Evans ville, five from the neighboring Kentucky counties, and five from the counties within the first congressional district. The college will be built on a tract ot land about a mne from the city, at a cost of abost 300,000, wnicn win Da endowed with somethine like $700,000. Here, poor students only, rezardloss of sex, color, or denomination, will be educated, clothed and boarded during the term or their residence in.the college. 1 hi is tho outline ol Mr. Carpenter's plan, which I have very strong reasons to believe will never be carried out. He is evidently jealous ot the glory which haloes about tto name of a San Francisco philanthropist, LiicK, ana i oeueve, is anxious to CROWS HIS CLOSING CAREER wilh good opinions without performing good deeds. For about ten years, Carpen . ter had been fussing with his children and his relatives by marriage, involving him in law-suit after law-snit, about property he hsd given liEe tha Lord did ucto Jo's "The Lord bath given, and tha Lord hatb taken away, Blessed be his name loreTer," only the relatives did not utter the closing f jscnUtion. In 18GL, Hammoud, the f toekbrckirg revivalirt, ceme along, and anions his couveits was Willard Carpenter,- who united with the Vine S'tret-t Presbyterian Church. He irmnedia,' resolved to reform bis ways, and therefore compromised his law-suits with bis sons and sons-in-law, his daughter and brother-in-law, by disposing of about hall a million among them. This done, he opened hid heart again, and bad plan ma tured ior endowing a Preabvterian female seminary. At the close of the war he bad purchased a "first-class marine hespital." admirably situated m this city for $19.000. on long time, and this he proposed to adapt ior tne college, lie would donate this and a large fand also, on condition that a certain aid should be extended by tne Presbyte rians. The deluded pastors made treat efforts to secure the aid demanded, bat when Willard saw it was about to succeed, he altered bia plans and put suck conditions on the acceptance ot them that were impossible to fill. So that charity fell through. Uia next philanthropic enterprise was the establishment of a bouse of reform for fallen women, to be in the hands of a company of ladies of the city. He donated, or rather offered to donate, a tract of land valued at 150,000, as a Bite for a house of that charac ter, but when he was aaked to come to time, bis conditions were that the city should erect a house on it to cost about 5159,000. As old Carpenter owned all the adjoioing property, such an improvement would have so benefited him that he could well alford to make the proposed donation. Of coaisathe city saw tnis, and again WILLARD'S PHILANTHROPY FÄLL THROCOH. Another occasion for him to display his goodness of heart presented itself in the shape of a hospital. At the tine he purchased the marine hospital referred to, among the bidders for it was a company of Catholic gentlemen. In 1S72 they purchased It from Willard Carpenter Ior the use of the Sisters of Charity, paying lor it $25,000, just $h,000 mora than Carpenter had. Last summer the last payment ot about $4,000 fell due, and could net be mot by tho Sisters, but, notwithstanding earnest appeals to the old man's charity, he bough c tho plsee again at sheriQ'a salo. Jt was redeemed by some cbaritablo citizens, but Carpenter baa net yet been induced to donate the paltry debt of a lew thousand dollars on this institution. Whenever you talk to an Evansville man about Willard Carpenter donating a million dollars to found a college, instantly a sardonic smile will envelop his face, and be will remark about its evident transparency.

LEAPING FOIl LIFE,

Tho Sentinel ha3 published Associated rres3 and special reports of the burning of three steamboats at New Orleans. The'following full particulars of the attendant scenes and incidenta are taken from the Times: At 4 o'clock last evening a fire, which originated in the blacksmith shop oa the starboard side of the steamer John Kyle, lying at the head of Oravier street resulted in the alinot immediate destruction ol that steamer, together im. ik.

""ar aft stood two solitary men, one in tha act cf lowering the other, apparently aged or very infirm, into the river. A ekiff conaining two men were immediately in her wake, but the single pair of oars seemed nseo3 in stemming the current. In an instant the seemingly older man fell, and the people ol the skiff, one of tho men in which had ju&t rescued some one else, pulled him in. The tx porter, wnicn at tnat tune was abreast of L.i'ayeite street, was ablaz3 from her lorec.i tla to st?rn. Oa the narrow island In this sea of fire thus made, were huddled perhaps forty souls. For a time they Bpppared encaged 'in forming a raft with some rou?h boards and an emptj hogshead, but in the course oi two or three minutes one man jumped overboard, then two, and the fiames sweepine forward oil sprang into tho river apparently in a body. A cry ol born arone from the crowd gathered on tho sbo and several shrieked to the commandi officer of the tug, .Nellie, pumping wad one nunureu yards from the ill-fated p pie, to 6team to their rescue. The little V Dime came promptly to the spot, and In t course of a very fowmluutes the rivers fullol small boats. The turbid waters 1 several hundred yards at this time were POTTED.

The report, heretofore published, lurnisn a correct report of the lost and aived, therefore, the names are omitted in this. The moment persons from the water were brought in they were surrounded by crowds of eaer person?, all anxious to hear EVERY DETAIL OP THEIR ESCAPE, Mr. Albeit Myrick, the watchman of the steamer Bodmann, was the first whom our reporter saw. - He leaped overboard from the steamer, and states that at that time forty people, a majority deck passengers, were congregated around him; One man with two little daughters, be thinks, must have perished, as he can ?ot imagine the possibility of their scape, but as a majority bad life preservers, strapped around them tight, have been picked up. The Dime, under tbeskilllul management of Capt. Wm. Kidgely, did effective service, aad, being upon the scene at a most opportune moment, saved a groat many. A,small steam tur landed six men at the bead of Girod street, and three ot tt?em, without reporting their names, started immediately up town tor a change of clothing. Both the Bodmann and Exporter had a number of excursionists from the West, living on board, but fortunately a number of tbem were in the city. Hapt. Reese, with his wife and two children, were at the Jockey Club House, and his daughter, Mrs. Musgrove, with her sister, an infant, on board. During the fire, the Stewart ot the boat, seizing the cnild, leaped overboard and saved it, but it is feared the unfortunate lady was lost. Several who bad leaped overboard were floated

Theee facts were very fwihlv iinDressed upon us in a recent con versation with Mr. J. II. Prier, one of tbe most plucky and energetic of our wholesale dealers in agricultural implements and machinery. Very much to our surprise, we confess, we learned from him, when pressed for ngurei, (for he is very modest about his success), that he has sold since the 1st ol February la3t, (in a littlJ less than three months), over one hundred thousand dollars worth of plows, cultivators, corn planters, drills, etc. Being forced by the pressure of his rapidly growing trade, to move into bis present large and commodious rtore rooojB.No. 177 F.a-t "Washington street, in the City Uall building.
