; THURSDAY, JULY 1.
The newspaper correspondents at Washngton, finding things dull sine the government went oil to its cottage at Look Branch, have returned to their old employment of retiring Secretary Deltno. In justice to bim, it should be said that Columbus lümselt does not show the faintest symftoru of resigning, and will not as long as there are any Indians to deal with. The Brooklyn sccndal has become further complicated by the arrest -of Loader on a harge of perjury. Loader is oo of the upholsterers for the admission of whose evidence Beach aakod that the trial night be re-opened, white his accuser, Price, is too other. The last named claims-1 net it wasafl conspiracy, having for its object the bettering of tfce worldly fortunes of the two enterprising upholsterers. The charge of perjury is based -upon the affidavits of Loader. On the other-Land the course of Price is such ms to show that he fa no better than be should be. In fact, the lij guns, Tilton and Beecher, being ixrw allowed to real, the rattle of small arms 'is hecrd on alUldes, and affidavits, replies and recantation fly back and forth between the two armies, thick and fast. The indifferent spectator, if there fee ray such, can only come to tbo conelusion of honest Dogberry, "roreuou, they are both In a tale." It wis stated the other day in the telegraphic columns of the Sentinel that L&dy FranlCin, lying on what, In all probability, is her death bed, bed bidden farewell to the commander of the Pandora. Thi3 vessel is boned on still another Arctic expedition, and, es Lady Franklin was largely interested in her equipment, is expected to to King William's Land and to search in that vicinity lor mere relics of the illstarred Erebus -end Terror, Sir John's Teasels. It will be remembered that it was near the shores cf this island that their starving crews finally deserted these ship3 and began their desperate and fatal endeavor ' to reach the Hudson Bay settlement by land, and-&!ong their path were found the relics which McClintock brought baok to England in the Fox. McClintock was accompanied by a gallant young officer, Allan Young by name, then a captain In the merchant marine, who rent on tho trip as a volunteer and served in tho capacity of sailing master. Mr. Young gave up his position In a private vessel,altbough in faeble health at the time, In order to join tho Fox He did valuable service on the cruise, being the commander cf one of the three sledge parties which explored King William's Land and the vicinity. After his return he received an appointment to the navy, and has since - seen plenty of exploring service. He is the commander of the Pandora in question. Probably the elements have leng since obliterated what few bits of wood and other remains were left by the natives to lie in the path by which the brave .Englishmen went to their death along 'the bank ol Back's Great Fish river. But Captain ' Young will do all that any men could in the premises. The wise Hellenes built up their great state entirely vpon the sound physical health of her citizens. What we eat and drink ere of immense interest to the xnestie economy of a great city. In those earlv ckrrs the use of unmixed wine was held barbarous and injurious toforain and muscle alike. There was no seduction in a - corner eroeerv to an Athe nian laier. Three parts water and and one of the praninm, or wine ol cypres sunshine and fresh air furnished cufneient stimulus to hia fine, healthy body. Crowds - of handsome loungers overflowed tLe market?, the courts, the gymnasium aai theaters. Scbcols were. made up ol sophists, philosophers and earnest, healthful students not sots. and debauchees end brain soft.ened geoiasts. A light -diet, cacstly fruit, active, outdoor life, plenty ol cleanliness and gymnastics, gave to the age the haoo3omestf taost Intellectual, cultivated and temperate race ever known to the world. It calgbt not fco exactly advisable to return to the faith or loafing of those day, but it woukL be well that a flavor of that .leisure .and health shocld penetrate our vapid and cnwbolesome society to its depths, and produce a change. Ceriainly cur over driven people c ust.be persuaded Lnto wi3r habitsol living, oar elutcoes snd wine bit bers mcst all study the signification of tba word teaiperance. Preaches3 must declare jthe got r el of body regeneration; Chrougb .air. water, sunshkie and exercise. Teachers must warn ttsir pupili of the ter rible judgment to -come in consequence of the sin of dirt, Indolente, impurity, slut tony and sad ventilation. Journalists taust .cry loudly.-calling sinners to repentence for wasied .energies, and evil haste for wealth, that preclude the idea ol rest or amusement, and only -co courage the Imagined necessity of unwholesome stimulus. There Is not King like cheerfal entertainment and necessary rest for poor, overtaxed humanity. Agreeable oat-door amusement frequently diaposseea grog shops and billiard halls of their truants. Pleasant Interchange in social out-door aiEasements, bringing the eexea together and increasing the health and fceaaty of a nation, at present Inclined to become physically weak, Is needed. Blee&iogs brighten as tbey take their flight, say the school girls, and that's a fact about strawberries. The season of this beut of all the Iaxurles of the garden ia so short as to be almost vexatious. Three week?, four at the outside, and the delicious dream Is broken, the strawberries are all gone, and we are affronted by offers of green gooseberries, wild plums, raepb-rries and s vaiity o.' iLit-'gs tht might have been quite acccptablo before the strawberries but following them sre simply odious. Isn't It a little strange that while everybody considers the strawberry the climax fruits, hardly one person in a hundred ever eii U fee want ol them. Lucky fellow,
Lhe considers himself, who gets a taste
of strawberries and cream. Over at the boarfilrfc house the landlady knows that If 6he would escape a riotthsre must be a red show on the table, enough to say strawberries a few limes during the season. So there comes once or twice a week a diminutive saucer with 'a few üttle berries like eggs in a bird's nest at the bottom. But, Lord, what an aggravation. One dish of strawberries is ruin uarless you can follow them up. Nothing ia good after thorn. One wants some to eat acd then be wants just a few more. Why la it that more strawberries are cot grown? It ia a very easy matter to raise them. People seem to 'take it .for granted that because they are so rare in enalitv tboy must be dißcutt to obtain. They ought not to be. There are very few dwelling lots in Indianapolis so small that a family could not produce a fair-supply. A hundred plants set close along the fence In a well-made bed or in bexea, would grve 100 quarts of berries. Yet comparatively few people think of .that. Strawber rifts. lfth "beat varieties are selected and the right kind of care bestowed, are a cer tain crop. This year, when the frost swept everything except small fruits away, those were not much damaged. Tho reason, ap parently, of the short supply is a sort of 1 distrust about planting them. Just now, while -we are mourning the early departure of this crop from the market ia a good time to impress the duty of providing beforehand for s better supply. Th fc-nit raisers are terribly stupid about the strawberry business. They not only fail to raise enongh; but they are, with few exceptions, careless about the quality. One day last week a drawer of selected berries, large and fine, was quarreled over, almost, by parties who wanted them, and they sold at lorty cents per quart, Larce Quantities ere shipped here u a from Cleveland before the season should be past here. These came mashed and decay inc and are a swindle on the buyer. Yet they are eagerly taken. It would be difficult to ilut the market with strawberries offered in good order. The price might be reduced somewhat and it ought to be, but the profits of handling would still be remunerative. French and Amerlean Economy. In one particular the French people pre sent to us an example for study, admiration and imitation. Their tempestuous dispositions about government, their impetuosity, fiekleness and horrible recklessness when thoy get started on a revolution.all these and rrany other national traits are, in the sight of practical Americana, subjects of derision atd almost of contempt. Incapable of republican self-government, they are ready to launch upon a sea of anarchy at any mc raent under the name of liberty. Hero wor shippers of the extreme order, the French are ready at c breath to dash in pieces eheir most cherished idols, proud to the hight of vanity of their country, they would not hesitate an instant to im peril everything for the glittering bauble of military glory. Irreverent, lax in morals and the very embodiment of levity, looking at them from od9 point of view, the French present little to-command admiration or to inspire respect. But there is another side to Franch character, both individual and na tional, which tells of solidity, tboughtfulness and purpose. That is the economical side. They know how to take care of money, what to do with it, and, excepting the gratification of military vanity, how to get the most enjoyment out of it. 'Prbaps there should be no exception, for as costly as war is, the price is clieeriully paid if it brings glory. France does not trifle vrlth her treasury. What a lesson for the United States! Among all her conepirators for revolution, for personal supremacy, lier public men do not think of plunder. She has no Tweeds, no Shepherds, no Delanos. The government fiuance and the government credit are not complicated in any of her turmoils. The world has witnessed with amazement the gallantry and grace with which she has tossed from ber shouiSers the burden of the German indem nity. 'When the money was agreed to be paid, -it looked like a disabling incumberance,which would fetter the ambition and ability of the nation for a generation. But ii is paid, and the credit, the financial prestige, oluTrance is unshaken in tho least. The total annual expenditure of the governmenr, as lately reported by M. Leon Sy, is ?485,000,000, yet it pays from $30,000,000 to 15,000,000 of the principal of the pcblic debt annually. TbOnCurrency of France is all one thing in valae. She does not sell for an eighty -cent dollar and buy for a hundred cent dollar. -Scie does not hold over her merchants and capitalist the constaat menace of disaster through s failure or a fluctuation of the currency. All ter business from the highest transactions of the state down to the humblest opera tions of the street merchant is done on the Bi3 principle of slow but certain profits. .n&tead of great risks for possibly sudden fortunes, the law of bixakby growth by thrift, indus try and saving is relied for the creation and acciua-nlatioo oc wealth. Wflile the nnan clal prosperity of France may be attributed to the Application of business principles everywhere, yet the firm foundation on which the whole system rests may doubtless be tra cod to the habit of personal economy which li 0 marvellously illustrated in private and domestic life. Everything is saved, and instead of ita being a condition of respectability that a man expend lavishly for his daily living, without regard to the amount of his income, it is un derstood to be nobody's business how little he spends for subsistence, provided he wears the cloth and manners of a gentle man in society. Uarelsthe rock on which American economy 1 wrecked. To be re spectable you must pay out large sums, no matter how little are your resources, nor how trifling the value obtained in return. Pay out, pay out, expend every cent you have got Don't stop there, get credit, run in debt, wear borrowed gold, but don't fail to shine or to dlBplsy expensive living.
This is practically the American sentiment. And the consequence is that the lavish consumer does not pay the retail merchant, the retailer can not pay the wholesale dealer, the Importer can not pay his bills across the water, everybody is in debt and everybody is poor. No, there are a few exceptions. A email crop of millionaires grows tip fed by the life blood of an extravagant and empty headed public who are only ambitious to show who can expend the most money for the least intrinsic value In France, a poor man admits his poverty and proceeds on the basis of small means. In America, the poor man undertakes to deny his poverty and to achieve the impossibility of playing the role of affluence without the maans to do it. The system is not working very satisfactorily, and its e fleets are telling badly on business. Net until there is a change, a popular revolution in the quality of personal economy, wil this country see a stable and real financial prosperity. You may Inflate or contract, or do what you will with that thing called currency, whenever people can be found out of debt with a little spare cash in pocket, then there will be easy times and solid prosperity. Nothing else will make such a condition permanent.
Edncartlen at the Centennial. It has been forcibly urged, in late discussions of the Centennial celebration, that this state has been overlooked in the past, sod its real merits have failed of du3 appreciation. The natural wealth of the state is not as well understood outside as that of somo other states younger than this. Hence a great effort will be made to exhibit such evidences of agricultural and mineral wealth, as will do justice to the state, and remove any false impression that may exist in regard to Indiana's material resources. There is another direction in which the past reputation of this state shadows the imaginations of those not well acquainted with the ; facts. She does not obtain due credit abroad for her real educational character. It is not usually in very good taste to complain that one is not duly appreciated; but what applies to an Individual in this matter may not necessarily be applicable likewise to a state. And it may rot be immodest to allege that the reel condition of Indiana in the matter of education is considerably misapprehended. Massachusetts haa acquired world wide fame for the excellenceof her system of public school, i.nd the prevalence of educated mtad. Yet, tw a rnatter of fact, though Indiana is later m point of time, her system of schools, her methods and progressive spirit, would compare firvorably with Massachusetts. There is this marked difference between the two states on which rauch misapprehension is founded. Massa chusetts has been longer in the field, and mature people are better educated. You would not hear a well dressed lady of mid dle age remark coming out of church, as one did in this city yesterday, in regard to the preacher. "I reckon he don't throw hisself that way every sermon." The retiring generation enjoyed better culture In Massachtisetts than those who opened the roads of civilization into Indiana. But take the pupils now in school and larger towns, in the cities examine the. instruction, anl subjects and methods of it will be found that our educators are keep ing well abreast of the ideas. Even in Boston most enlightened the school board nesitated more about the support of art edu cation than they have done in the cities cf this state. Gd to the department of public instruction in th's city, and the state superintendent's office will be found adorned with artistie work from the public schools that will challenge comparison with the same class of work any where. Our Normal school work has been repeatedly pronounced superior to that of any other Btate. Our school fund, now approximating nine mil lions of dollars, is the largest that can be shown by any state, and in all communities except those 6parsely settled the standards of education are high. Yet it is so lately that the scenes described by the "Hoosier Schoolmaster" wore a living reality that by many it is supposed that Indiana is far behind in matters of education. It is quite as Important to disabuse the putside world of this error as it is t demonstrate the existence of our valuable timber, our coal, iron, kaolin and fertile soil. For
what are all these material riches without from the high schools Into the university, an Intelligent people, without the possession The basis of this seaem9 was a very plausiof spiritual refinement, taste and the a lorn- ble idea of a symmetrical sj stem of state eduments of intellectual culture? An effort is cation, beginning wi?h the child, in the prion foot, under the inspiration of the super- mary sebcol, and tasing him through one intendent of public instruction and other continuous course upward, until he is lriends of education, to make prepara- turned out from the rostrum of the unlvertions to represent Indiana at the sity, a bachelor of arts, or further, if he is bo an tennial In ber mental as well as material disposed, a finished lawyer, doctor, or progress.

In Connecticut, the towns are represented In the iefriuaiure mora as tbe a La. lea are in the United Htates (Senate. An attempt to eet rid of some 01 the more glaring lnequaüties of this plan by making one House the representative of tbe people instead of tbe towns has Jost been voted down by a democratic legislature. Bach uitm) tnr m. nartv JWh nrnfoaaoi tr, rBnA1allv I beUev In the people. Chicago Tribune. The reply to the above outburst is some-1 thing like the time honored rejoinder filed J by the owner ol the dog that was I accused of killing sheep. The aswer con-1
stated of three clauses: first, that the dog
was too well trained and too Intelligent to kill eheep; second, that the deg "was ecurely tied up at home when the sheep were killed ; third, that he never had a dog. The representation alluded to in Connecticut is very peculiar, and seems at the first glance very unfair. The system is basid upon the home rule principle, as applied to the towns, which contain, a9 De Tocqueviile says, the germ of this country's form of govern ment. In the lower House of the Connecticut legislature, each of the old towns, that is those which were incorporated at a certain date near the beginning of the present century, is represented by two members, and each new town, by one member. Thua it comes about that the city of New Haven, with about fifiy thousand populat ion, sends up to Hart ford two representatives, and the town of Union, with about five hundred inhabitants, sends np two representatives. Until last fall, when the constitution was amended, with regard to thai city, and one or two which were similarly situated, the city of Bridgeport, with a population of about thirty thousand, was represented by only one member. The upper body Is filled by cuttiDg the state into divisions which were once nearly equal in population. It is in this latter body, only, that any change la contemplated. Tha lirge towns being, almost without exception, democratic and the small ones largely republics, the system of House representation, it will be seen at a glance, works disadvan tageous for the democrats. Thus it frequently happens that the state elects a democratic governor and a republican legislature. Such was the case during each term of office of Gov. English, while a demo cratic legislature had for yearä beeu unknown until 1S73. The democrats used sometimes to inveigh sgainst the system, but eo strongly wasl the love of town representation implanted la the breasts of the people that they have never offered to make any change in it since tbey came into power, although it continues to seriously increase the obstacles which they have to overcome. The usual argument in favor cf the present eyttem is that the Inequality is apparent rather than real, inasmuch as the large towDs are so mum more ably represented j than the small ones that the influence I which th6ir members wield rakes up for the disparity in numbers, while most of the questions which come up in the legislature lie near the interest of the towns and localities rather than the people, considered as individuals. The proposition which the smoerats have just voted down referred entirely to the constitution of the Senate, and had nothing ia the wide world to do I with the system of town representation. As almost any change which they could make would redound to the benefit of their own party, they probably refused to pass the proposed measure for redisricting the state because they preferred that it should be dene by a constitutional convention or commission. Had they been moved by any such motives as the Tribune suggests, they would have only been imitating the manner in which their opponents acted for a dozen long years. The Slate University. An appeal is made by the Bloomingtor Democrat to the Board of Trustoes of the State University for the restoration of the Preparatory Department to the university. Among its argumeuts on that behalf the following statement is made: It Is a well known fact that one of the princi pal reasons urgt-u uy me iegisiaiurp against the aeepinz up 01 me approprn teepinzupof tue appropriations for the uni versity, was that a larce number of young men were constantly tnrneU away from here because they could not pass the required examinations, and that in nearly every lustance they had gone to other college.-, und had been admitted. If the above is true, Itseem3 a little singular that the Sentinel reporters did not bappen to hear it. It was urged in ths legislature that the number of teachers at the State University wa3 very large and the number of students very small. But tl at is nothing here nor there. On the subject of admission to the university, there has been a good deal said, both in the management of the school and outr of it. A change was made In the curriculum of studies having reference to the relation of the university to the public school system, and designed to bring the university into a contact, so to speak, with the public high schools, so that the pupils should be able to nass directly hold the power to recommend candidates for the irishmen dana ted on that recommendation, or certificate. Several schools in the state were designated as preparatory, and empowered to enter school at liloomlngton was constituted a preparatory for the university, and a teacher was supported there by the etate to take care of thosV coming from abroad, and ytt needing further preparation to enter university classes. The conception of tbis . " , ... ... . , , , , system was not without its attractive features, especially in theory. Practically, it has not amounted to much, and could not, I of coursf, on so short a trial. It aeema the ........ ... ... .

It might
be a good thing enough for Bloomington to be able to keep a young man there paying his way lor seven or ten years. He would in that time disburse quite a sum in the aggregate and if there were large numbers of students, the benefits to the town would be considerable. There is 00 objection to the
"u tUia grounu, snnougn 11 may nave I mIa. n ALI- a l.i . 1 Bwuitmicg 10 ao wun me local reeling, liut there are many and serious objections to running a preparatory department in the State University. That one alluded to above has lorce. This state, a3 a state, has no warrant for keeping a grammar school, or high school, to accommodate s certain class, while others are educated either by their own towns or at their own expense. The whole thing is of the nature of a public abuse and Injustice. If students are furnished with a first-class university tuition free, where they may pursue a liberal and even a professional education, it Is the least that can fairly be demanded that they go there so well prepared as to do honor to the classes admitted only on a high standard of scholarship. But the effect upon the university of encumbering it with a boys school In the preparatory studies would be degrading to the university. It is useless to deny it. This has bsen the effect on western colleges generally in the past. A colleco starts up, and if you inspect its catalogue there will be lound, as .its scholastic . material, perhaps 150 preparatory student?, twentyfive freshmen, ten sophomores, 6ix juniors, and one senior, the whole thing a travesty on the idea of a college which brings it into contempt. Where is your son, sii? Ob, he is at the State University. Ah! indeed,'! was not aware that he had become 60 profl cient In his education as to be in college, What class Is he In, sir, what are his studies? Well, he is studying arithmetic and algebra and beginning the Latin. lie is in the preparatory department. But without this cross-questioning the inference is always permitted that the boy is a classi cai siuaeni. ine enact 01 this common school instruction is not favorable to a uni versity. The students at the end of the pre paratory course, will, in a majority of cases, leave and never enter the university classes at. all TIictt rm tr r - v-i m anUAAYn w the state, get the name ol having s collegiate education at home and stop. This is not le gitimate work for the State University. II Indiana can not furnish students for a true university, ana if she can not offer a uni versity that will draw well prepared Etu dents, better abandon the attempt altogether. THE WITNESS WHO WAS NOT CALLED. A' INTERVIEW WITH LOADER HE STICKS TO HIS ORIGINAL STORY. In connection with the arrest of Loader, noticed In the telegraphic columns tbis morning, the following interview which the Brooklyn Argus published last Friday eveniDg.will prove of Interest: At noon to-day an Argus reporter entered the upholstery store ouosepn boaaer, io. vsi ruiton avenue. A young man working in the rear room cone forward and inquired what was wan ted. "Is Mr. Loader within?" lhe young man cast an inquiring look toward the rear of the premises, from whicn a voice was heard What is it you wish?" "Mr. Loader, I suppose." said the repor ter, going iorwara. "That's my name." Could I speak with you In the other room a momentr" A miou.e a;red woman was ousuy engaged sewinsr. whom It was not desirable to have present at the inter view. -vvcat is it ycu wanti" air. ioaaer repeaiea, nammering tacK alter tack into an arm chair which he was recovering. "If I you are a reporter I don't want to say any thing to you. Look In the Herald and Sua to-morrow morning and you'll find my card. wnicQ naa got an x mean 10 say." "I'm from the Argus, and the Argn9 would like to publish what you have cos to say ima aiteruoen." "l won't have anything to say to vou.' said the liitle man (he is only about five feet high). "The Argus can get what it wants from the Herald and Sun." The Argus man laughed to himself, and thought, "Not it I know it." "You're from the old country, Mr. Loader from England?" (he had been pronouncing house 'onse, and hot " 'ot.") " es, sir,' he replied, as he drove home another tack. A long talk about people and minus and places in the old country fol lowed. 'So there's no truth in Mrs. Til ton 'a af fidavit, is there?" Air. Iiftdpr Tint an ctta. nt truth In i from beginning to end, as far as I am concerned. I was eo RAVIN' mad when I saw her letter in the Suu that I sat down ' and wrote a reply to it. "You were laying down carpets in Mrs. Tllton's house then, in 18697" Mr. Loader I was, aod Mrs. Tilton knows it. Tbey were old carpets which had been given out to be cleaned, and we laid them not only on the parlor door, but on the stairs and on tbe floor above. "You are quite sure you were there in 1869?" Mi. Loader I am, and I am pretty sure I can prove it from my books. "Have you ever been to the house since?1' Mr. Loader I have not been there Bince, nor for rive years. Here he suspended bis tacking operations, ana continuea wun mucn animation: "If what I have said is not true, how coold I have drawn a plan of a house, of tbe rooms of tbe house, and shown it to Mr. Moulton and Mr. Tilton, as I did a few days ago 7" "And it was a correct plan?" Mr. Loader It was. Mr. Moulton and Mr. Tilton were quite surprised when I did it. They did not seem quite to believe me till then. I had not been in the house for five years. "You will excuse me, . Mr. Loader, but 1 m rw'l a. name, the door would most assuredly have been locked. Ii Mr. Beecher, in his excitej?1ad1 fofgotf e J0 tbe the rom Ä hS'SdS It" TUUn WUld Mr. Loader Ah, that's tbe very thing. The door leading from the parlor into the ball was locked, but when I pulled at tbe folds it opened, the bolt remaining turned out of tbe lock. You have seen that done? "Ob, yes, when there was no bolt to catch ,U,P or "om 01 ine Irame wor 01 ltie o.oor. Mr. Loader-I saw more than vou have lanx Man f mAA 1 I .j 1. tv. I - " ypeareu iu tu . 'One more Question. Mr. Loadar. Haa any thing ever happened that haa caused you to have a feeling of DISLIKK TO MR. BEECHER?" Mr. Loader No, air. "You don't admire him as preacher per haps?"
Mr. Loader Up to five years Rgolnwd to go very often to hear him preach; but when I found out that he was preaching one thing and pne: icing another when this happened at 174 Livicgsten street I stopped going to Plymouth Church. I liked him very much as a man and a preacher. One sermon of bis about little sins and how they grew to be big cnes I remeuiber very dii-finctly. J "Haa Mr. Tilton ever done you any crest or special favorf" Mr. Loader No. I care no more bout him than I do about Mr. Beecher. I never spoke to or had anything to do with Mr. Tilton Until a week or two aKo, when I met bim at Judge Morris's office. I thought they had enough against Mr. Beecher without my testimonv, or I should have epbkea of this before. You 6ee, outside of my business, I have no time to attend to anythiüg. The tact, too, that yesterday afternoon a Brooklyn evening paper published an interview with the newly discovered witness. Loader, in which the statements made by Mrs. Tilton in her affidavit . ol the previous day are flatlv and decidedly controverted and denied, has had great weight with a large proportion of the Brooklyn community, and people who formerly swore by the great preacher now say that their opinion is changing. Theodore Tilton, at every turn ana move that Le made, in either entering or leaving the courthouse, was followed by an admiring crowd, and he is pointed out on every side, wherever he goes, with such exprtss-ionsas the following: There goes Tilton !' Trere'a Tilton, and he looks cheerful, don't he?" "I guss he thinks he's going to get a verdict." "lie don't look much like a man who expects to lose." "Why don't be cut his hair?" etc.
