THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APELL 25. 1877.

WEDNESDAY. APRIL 25. Reports have it that John Sherman will join Blaine. Thb high joint are still pegging away to find an escape for Hayes. The trouble with Venezuela may bring Godlove 8. Orth to the front again, hot as a lime kiln.

Cabl Schurz has made a mistake. He will have to remodel his rules; his dismissals and promotions give offense. Tu Madison Courier says that "the 8entinel is a newspaper." Of course it is, Iiepublicans as well as democrats who want the news take it. The Journal and News express the op uion that the council will do a very ioolish thing to-night Possibly, but we prefer to think otherwise. There are seven members of one family on duty in the treasury department at Washington, and they receive $2,000 aggregate salaries per month. Mayor Ovxrstolz, of St Louis, says there is not a hall nor theatre in that city that might not in case of a fire or panic become the scene of a great tragedy. So par Hayes's hight-joint have not examined into the coal oil and match plan which, according to Kellogg, is to rescue Packard and place him in power. Ir Nicholls has the spondulics and can give Packard's legislature from $800 to $1,500 each the probabilities are that harmony will be restored and planting commenced at an early day. The high-joint have one set of opinions as a high-joint and a very different set of opinions when disjointed. As a high-joint they favor Nicholls, but when out of joint they are for Packard. CiscrHHATi will have to pay $16,000,000 for her Southern railroad, but is cheered on in the work by the fact that Amsterdam has recently built a new canal to the sea. It is difficult to see the point. SiscE Blaine advocates the claims of Packard, which is simply demanding that there shall be honor among thieves, the Cincinnati Commercial has found out that the Maine senator is not a strong man. Mcbat Halptkad'8 model woman, the buzz s w wench who swore lustily for Hayes, is in New Orleans attending upon Packard's legislature and begging nickels. She will appear in Washington during the extra session. Thr Deutsche Versuchcrungs-Zeitung, of Berlin, translates into German and publishes, with commendation, - the report of John A. Finch, E-q., special commissioner of insurance in this state, to ex-Governor Hendricks. A 5ATTRAI bridge has been discovered in Elliott county more wonderful than the celebrated one in Virginia. The arch of solid stone is 122 feet long, and is 15 feet wide at the top. It is 100 feet above the Little Chaney river, which it spans. Two thousand volumes have been lost from the public library of Portland, Me., in the last year. Plagiarism is the fashionable name for appropriating other people's thought's, but the New York Express calls it stealing to take their books. The editor of the New York Commercial Advertiser, as thoroughbred a radical as the most distinguished whisky ring thief in or out of the penitentiary, whacked with Tweed to the extent of $20,000 and says it was business. The Cincinnati Commercial continues its fulsome eulogies of the coming civil service reform. So far it consists in advancing to higher positions men appointed by Grantpromotion doubtless being based upon the amounts contributed to aid Chandler to swindle Tilden out of the office of president Ahothxr death in a dentist's chair from the use of nitrous oxide gas. At the inquest it was shown that the muscular structure of the heart, upon which the circulation depends, was gradually giving away, and that the action of the gas only hastened a result already impending. Qtiex Victoria is now engaged in making her grandchildren miserable. By her influence the Princess Charlotte, daughter of the crown prince of Germany, has been betrothed to Prince Bernhardt The old lady does meddle terribly in other people's affairs. At the concert at Booth's theater last week a bouquet was handed to Ole Bull, and when be reappeared in response to an encore he had a large white rose in his button-hole. With the first vigorous movemeats of his bow the rose went to pieces, and as the leaves fell to the floor he, unconscious of thi, strack up "The Last Rose of Summer." Ssbtajt girls in Cincinnati on being dücharged from crart by the judge present that official with flowers, and quote Byron and Moore by. the page to show the gratitade of ! poor bat cultivated class for judicia favora. Bt Loois girls whip the policeman who do the arresting, and those of Chicago bide their time for revenge when a pall of slop can ruin a new coat with brass buttons. Tw ezd has by his confession brought into odious' prominence certain prominent radicals, and thereat the New York Times quirms exceedingly and sets about their

justification in true radical style. Touch a radical thief in New York, and as quick as the wires can flash tho fact a howl is heard to the reniotestorners of civilization.

Paris has a vast manufactory for making imitations of precious stones. The sand upon which the whole art depends is found in the forests of Fontainbleau, and the greatest skill and ingenuity are exercised to counterfeit diamonds, pearls and other jewels, which are always set in fashionable settings of real gold. There are probabilities that General Babcock will be compelled to undergo military trial for his participation in the whisky ring rauds. The officers of the army generally believe him guilty, and the demand that he be courtmartialed and dismissed the service is growing more emphatic every day, and this may account for Grant's hurry to visit Europe. WAR PRICES!. The much talked of European war is ex ceedingly popular in America. There has been from the first manifest impatience at the poor progress made in bringing - the armies of Russia and Turkey into action. Those who have made the market reports a careful study have noticed the advance in certain commoaities when war seemed iminent, and the decline when peace overtures were likely to prevail. "The hostile rumors which have been flying between the capi'tals of Europe for the past four months have led," says the New York Journal of Commerce, "to a sharp rise in American wheat and all breadstuff's. Other causes 'have operated to stiffen the market for these products for the past 8ix months; but it is noticeable that American wheat has been 'steadily advancing siace the early part of 'last fall when the eastern question began to 'be moit threatening. Since then the rise in wheat has been nearly sixty cents a bushel." Here is a fact, well authenticated, which is worthy of consideration in estimating the benefits likely to accrue to the United States by a war between Russia and Turkey. Already the price of wheat has advanced sixty cents per bushel, the advancing force being rumors of war merely. It is not, therefore, too much to say that if war is declared, and hostilities actually commence, wheat will advance to fully one dollar a bushel more than the price would have been if peace had been preserved. The estimate was made as late as 1873 that the average consumption of wheat for the three years previous had amounted to 4 G0-100 bushels per capita. Assuming that the population of the United States is 40,000,000, it will be seen, if the same average is maintained, that it will require 184,000,000 bushels of wheat to suply the home demand for the current year. If the Journal of Commerce is correct in its estimates of the advance already secured, and it is below rather than above the mark, then the fact is established that from a business standpoint a war in Europe has its dark side here as well as there. We are quite willing to admit that wheat growers and speculators will make money, but how does the case stand with consumers? If the agricultural bureau is correct in its estimate that the average consumption of wheat is 4 60-100 busels per cnpita, and it the advance, which is placed at 60 cents per bushel shall be maintained for a year, the cost to the country in the single item of wheat will reach the enormous sum $110,400,000. But the average given by the agricultural bureau, while it may have been approximately correct for the entire population of the country, is largely below the facts when Btates are taken into consideration separately, as the following table will show:

& -B i 9. 2 2 g --s. CVc G ' x a r"o o- av Ch O Ohio. 18,203,000 2,W,2fiO 13,17.K77 5A Indiana HUSUM) l.Mu.tU? 10,340,35.1 6.1 Michigan 13,0,0UO l.lM.toO 7;4,14 .1 Illinois. 24,7 1 1.0 A 2991 S,WiiM 6 2 "Wiwconsliv. 22,307,0u0 1,054,S0 7JC7J& 6.6

Assuming that since 1S70 the population of the states mentioned has increased 60 per cent, we would have a grand total population of 13,186,775, and if the average con sumption of wheat is the same as our table shows it to have been, in 1872 six bushels and a fraction .per capites the amount of wheat required for the current year would be 79,120,650 bushels, and if the advance of 60 cents per bushel is maintained, the wheat consumers of the fire states mentioned would be out of pocket for the article of wheat as a result of the European war, the sum of $45, 472,300 more than would have been required if there had been no war or war rumors, and of this amount Indiana's share would reach the sum of $7,875,318. In looking at war from the standpoint we have chosen it will not do to confine our ob serrations to the article of wheat, for it is equally true that all other food commodities are likely to advance quite as sharply, and it may be assumed, if the advance in the article of wheat will cost the con sumers of Indiana more than $7,000, 000, that the total advance in corn and provisions will be equal to the advance in wheat, and that Indiana con sumers will be required to pay something like $15,000,000 on, account of the warte tween Russia and Turkey. If, however, this advance in the absolute necessities of life bring about a revival in business generally, to that Idle bands may find remunerative employment, the price of war, though high. can be paid, and In the . end the United States may be the gainer. It is, however, a well established fact that war never adds to the agreeate wealth and prosperity of nations, but it has to be indulged in occa sionally nevertheless, and it is to be hoped that id the case of the war between Russia and Turkey that Alexander and Uncle Earn will come out winners.

RUSSIA, TURKEY AND ENGLAND. A war between Russia and Turkey seems

inevitable, though not yet declared, and there is, therefore, a possibility that actual hostilities may be averted. Still the proba bilities are against such a conclusion, and as a consequence, those who take any interest in the question are anxious to know as near as possible the military resources of the powers likely to be engaged. While it is generally believed that the war. if once fairly under way, will involve all Europe before its close, there seems to be little if any doubt that England will be the first of the great powers professedly neutral to take part in the contest. This early assignment of England to a prominent position in the controversy grows out oi the lact mat sue is jealous of Russia and suspicious of the Asiatic policy of the czar. The interests of England in Asia, it is said, "are so extensive 'and important that they entirely control her K)licy toward other nations. By abandoning all interference in European affairs 'except so far as they bear in the least degree 'on her Asiatic interests England has almost 'ceased to be considered a European power, 'and her wishes are scarcely consulted in the 'adjustment of European quarrels. But 'with her mighty power directed toward the 'protection of her eastern possessions and to 'guarding with jealous vigilance all the 'avenues leading thereto England's inter vention in the eastern question must be regarded as highly important to its solution. The moment it ceases to be so then England 'abdicates her position as mistress of India. 'It has been the boast of her admirers that 'the drum beats of her armies of 'occupation unceasingly salute the rising 'sun, but this is only accomplished by 'a distribution of her force which tends to weaken her locally wherever her flag floats. By means of her magnificent fleet England 'keeps open the)communication between her 'widely separated strongholds, and thus 'maintains herself against what might other'wise prove irresistible combinations of pow'ers jealous of her wealth and influence. 'While all but invincible on the ocan, her 'land forces are feeble compared with those 'of the nations with whom she is liable at any 'time to come in conflict; but it must be ad'mitted that her armies make up in valor 'what they lack in numbers." The purpose of Russia is to obtain an un obstructed southern outlet for her commerce and naval operations, to accomplish which Turkey must be subdued effectually wiped out. In no other way can the problem be solved, and that this ambition of the Russians will eventually be realized there can be little doubt Russia is a growing power, while Turkey is decaying. Already the Russian empire extends over one-seventh of the entire surface of the globe. Its population is steadily increasing. Progress is evidenced in all things and everywhere; but that her policy is to wrest England's Asiatic posses sions from her grasp has always been disclaimed; England, however, chooses to doubt the peaceful possessions of the czar, seeing only in his conquests her ultimate ruin. To this fact then must be attributed England's willingness to aid Turkey in arresting the aggressive policy of Russia; and hence it is desirable to know the military strength of the countries that will contend for the mastery. The subject is treated exhaustively by the New York Herald, whose statements show that the strength of the Russian army on a war footing is: Officers for active service in the regular army, 21.557; for reserves, 3.522; for depots, 6.605; for local troops, 12,773. Total offic rs, 41,477. Soldiers for active service in the regular army ', 845,433; for reserves, 171.79S; for depots, 273,182; local troops, 350,806. Total soldiers, 1,641,329. Noncombatants, 195.148; horses, 240,838; guns, 2,606. Total number of men in regular army, 1,830,954. The Btrength of the irregular army will be 3,505 officers, 131,290 soldiers, 5,603 noncombatants; total, 140,493. Added to the regular force this will give a grand total of the war strength of the Russian army at 2,021,477 men, 361,837 horses and 2,786 guns. The Turkish regular army consists at present of seven corps. Tne corps commanders administer the affairs of their respective commands directly, for the txoops in time of peace have neither generals of division nor brigade. These latter are appointed only during time of war. The present composition of the regular army of Turkey is: Infantry Forty-one regiments of the line, two regiments of Bos nians, one regiment of frontier Greeks and one regiment of frontier Servians. Each regiment of infantry has three battalions of eight companies. Besides the regular in fantry of the line there are forty-one bittalions of riflemen and two battalions of Herzegovinan troops, two battalions of Albania and one Gordon battery, making a total of 179 battalions of infantry. Cavalry There are twenty-six regiments of six squadrons each, one regiment of 6ix squad rons mounted on camels and two independ ent squadrons in the Turkish regular cav airy, making a total of 161 squadrons. Artillery This arm is represented by seven regiments of field artillery of twelve bat teries each and one reserve regiment of three batteries. Each battery has six pieces. Total, seventy-five batteries and 450 pieces. There are also ten regiments of heavy artil lery and one corps of artillery operatives. Engineers These consist of one brigade of seven ompanies of sappers and seven companies of operatives. After the Law of June 22, 1869. and the imperial firmans of later dates concerning the reorganization of the army, the military forces, of the empire should be carried at 720,000 men until the end 1878. Of this number the active army would furnish 220,000 men, the first reserve 80,000 men, the second aul third reserves the balance 120,000 men. This plan of organization requires an annual contingent of about 37,500 men. " , - The peace effective strength of the Turkish army I 157,667 men and 26,040 horses, and

ncludes the police (14,500 men). In tim

of war, such as the present, the forces of the Sultan are: Active army, 203,700; first reserve, 105,600; second reserve, 24.000; police (military), 32,800; Hiyade, third re serve, 120,000. Total regular army, 430,100. Irregular troops, 50,000; auxiliary troops, 80,000. Total war strength, 616,100. The English army or the military forces of the British empire, are divided into four distinct classes or parts, each of which has its own peculiar organization, but all are snbject to the central authority exercised by the "war office" at London. The first and most Important division is the regular active army, which forms the chief military strength of the country. This force is recruited by a system of voluntary enrolment from the general population, and is mainly employed, when not engaged in war, in garrison duty in Great Britain and Ireland, the colonies and in India. The actual military strength of England, offi cers, men and horses, is set down as follows: Regular army, 228,024 men and 26.487 horses; reserves, 320,211 men and 20,000 horses; Irish police, 13,000 men and 4,000 horses; Channel isles, 8,300 men; Indian army, 110,197 men; Indian police 190,000 men; giving a grand total of 8.50,362 men and 51,514 horses. If then these countries, Russia, Turkey and England, become engaged in war to an extent that shall require the employment of their entire military strength, the number of men who with all the appliances of mod ern warfare will be engaged in the work of destruction will exceed three and a half millions. It will occur to roost readers that if other nations refrain from taking part in the war, for the purpose of deciding the questions at issue in the shortest practicable period, the contest may be indefinitely prolonged, for it will not be an easy matter to exhaust the resources of either Russia or England, And with England's skill and leadership brought to the aid of the Turks, as will be the case, the effectiveness of the sultan's forces will be indefinitely augmented. The outlook is not cheerful for Russia, for though her armies out number the combined forces of England and Turkey, she will find it difficult to establish her em pire on the shores of the Bosphorus. A CORRECTION. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing from Madison in this state, says: 'This was Marshall's office,' said Captain 'Vanarsdol, 'and in that back room he re'ceived the celebrated challenge of Jesse D. 'Bright' " Captain Vanarstal was but a child when the difficulty occurred between Messrs. Marshall and Bright, and conse quently can know nothing of it except as he has been told. His statement to the Gazette correspondent is erroneous, and we deem the matter of sufficient importance to give a correct account of it. The difficulty between Messrs. Marshall and Bright, which came near resulting in a duel between them, had its origin in a speech made by Judge Marshall at Ritchie's Mills, in Jefferson county, in which he as serted that Mr. Bright had made a certain statement to him which the latter, being present, denied. Mr. Marshall reiterated the statement and Mr. Bright pronounced it false. Both betrayed anger ic the controversy, and those who were precent felt quite confident thr , something serious would grow out of it The next day Mr. Bright wrote Mr. Marshall a very severe letter, in which he declared that the latter' s statement the day before was a wicked and malicious falsehood. This letter was placed in the bands of Jonathan Fitch, Esq., who delivered it to Mr. Marshall at the latter's residence on the hill north of the city. On reading the letter, Mr. Marshall was satisfied that the writer's object in sending it was to. provoke a chal lenge, which was undoubtedly the case. Without replying to it, he came down to the city, bought a bowie knife, and walked backward and forward between the Madison post office and the Madison insurance office, with the intention of attacking Mr. Bright when he came for his mail. Fortunately, the Utter did not appear, and after waiting for him nearly an hour, Mr. Marshall changed his purpose, and seeking General William McKee Dunn, prepared and sent Mr. Bright a challenge to ight a duel at some point in tne vicinity ot Louisville. Both Mr. Marshall and Mr. Bright, with their friends, went to Louisville, but fortunately for themselves and fortunately for the state which was honored by their citizenship, friends interfered and the difficulty between them was settled. This, in brief, is a correct account of the personal difficulty between these two distinguished men. ADAMS TO TILDEN'. A New York special to the Chicago Times furnishes the following ietter from Charles Francis Adams to Samuel J. Tilden, written on the day when by the force of fraud R. B. Hayes was inaugurated: Boston, March 5, 1877. Hon. 8. J. Tilden, New York: My Dear Sir On this day, when you ousht to n vh been preside ut of the United Stales, I seize ar? opportunity to bear my testimony to the calm and dignified manner in which you have ptuwed through this (treat trial. It is many years si ace I ceased to be a party man. Hence, I nave endeavored to Judge of publio affairs and men rather by their merits than by the name they take. It 1 a source Of Ri-Htlfleat Ion to me to think that I made the right choice In the late election. I could never have been reconciled to the elevation by the smallest aid of mine of a person, however respectable in p- Ivata life, wli'i miiKtcarry upon bin braw the sUunp of fraud's flrst triumph In American factory, No subsequent action, however meritorious, can wash away the letter of that record. Very respectfully yours. Chaelks ('HAfcut Adams. Cincinnati has concluded that the exhibition of nude statuary does not tend to the improvement of morals, and Mr. John Ilavlin, business manager of Wood's theater, haa been notified by the chief of police that the Matt Morgan troupe must not again appear. It is to be hoped that, the stone cutters will Lereafter throw a little drapery around the ecldba tic forms of their creations:

THE MILLS OF THE GODS. 1 The tendency on v the part of the people generally to condone crime is so manifest that there is scarcely any necessity to refer to instances in support of the fact. All persons of reading and observation will at once bear testimony to the general laxity of society in this regard, and that, too, without special reference to the character or magnitude of the offense against the law. To such an extent has this malady spread that the law, in the estimation of a large and steadily increasing per cent of the people, receives precious little respect, and its severest penalties are treated with undisguised contempt Upon this branch of the subject there can be little if any controversy, for it is a matter of every day occurrence that criminals, guilty of the darkest deeds, find some one to plead for a mitigation of the punishment which the law pronounces. If sentenced to be hung efforts are ceaseless to shield the culprit from the baiter; if imprisonment be

the penalty, no means are left untried first, to have the shortest possible term. This accomplished, the next move is for pardon and restoration to liberty and society. This overwhelming sympathy for criminals is bearing its bitter fruits. Under the rule of the radical party every department of the government has been debauched; criminals have been in authority and crimes have been treated as virtues. Thieves have been feted, petted, honored and trusted. If caught the government has sought to screen and protect them. If convicted they have been, in numerous instances, pardoned and Bet at liberty to prey again upon society. This demoralizing work has been going forward for years, and the archives of the government bear terrible testimony of its progress in undermining the foundations of society. It was this state of affairs that made it possible for the radical party to plan, mature and execute the frauds that placed Hayes in the presidential chair. Without the long preparation which preceded the infamous plot of the conspirators, succens could not have been achieved. Under the old regime perjury could not have played a conspicuous part in placing a man in the office of president without a shadow of right to the office. In the purer days of the republic an attempt to commit such a crime as made Hayes president would have shaken the country from center to circumference like the tramp of a thousand earthquakes. Fortunately the people were not so dead to all sense of right as to permit the crime to triumph without earnest protests, but, in comparison to what ought to have taken place, the work was as a gentle zephyr to the destructiveness of a cyclone. The triumph of Hayes was the triumph of a crime which in its magnitude towers above all other crimes known to the country. In its influence it is more baneful than all the national sins that have been committed since the bell on Independence hall rang out the birth of the nation. If all the black and damning list of infamous deeds that have been committed in a hundred years were consolidated into one mass of guilt it would be contemptible as compared with the offense that made R. B. Hayes president. The pernicious influ ence of the fraud that made Hayes presi dent de facto; that reinaugurated an era of official fraud; that poisoned justice truth and law at the fountain, and that created doubts everywhere as to man's capacity for self government, is beyond measurement or computation. It is said that the mills of the gods grind slow.but they never cease grinding. The country can not escape the penalty of that colossal outrrge It matters not what Hayes may do, he has accepted an office secured by fraud. The act transformed him as if by a fiat of Jehovah from an honored citizen to a loathsome official leper. It reduced him to a level with the criminal classes crime stained and crime cursed. Such a - president can not in the very nature of things rule , a mighty people; he can not obtain nor retain their respect. The successful elements of success are wantinghonor, integrity, high sense of justice, purity of character and a lofty scorn of office if tainted with fraud. In all of these Hayes is wanting, and now his own party, the miserable scoundrels who counted him into office, the very men who blackened their souls with perjury to insure his success, are turning upon him and telling him that he has played them false, and as will be seen by Warmoth's speech to the Packard caucus, he proposes to put the integrity of Hayes to the test. The mills of the gods are thus grinding out for Hayes and, unfortunately for the country, as well, not only penalties for crime, but penalties for permitting them , to be committed. The country is still feverish, when, If Tilden and Hendricks had been permitted to have taken the offices to which the people called them by an overwhelming majority, all would have been peace. Mo single vexed question is settled nor is like to be settled by Hayes. The , Boston Globe remarks that "if the opposition to the policy and administration of President Hayes, 'which is developing in the republican 'party, should become pronounced and aggressive, it would be fatal to the unity f 'that organization. It held together through 'the political campaign only because the 'two wings, which had spread so wide 'asunder, each hoped to control the administration in case of victory." The victory Is likely to be the death of radicalism the music of the mills of the gods sotjids like ita requiem. The country may have to submit to the rule of Hayes, but this submission should only make the duty more clear to never ceasa holding up before the country and the. world the infamies that makes the submission necessary. CmzEss of New York are anxious about the milk that la served to them purportbg

to be from the cleanest, nicest dairies and the best cows. Investigation reveals the fact that swill and garbage are the food of the cows, and that the stables where they are kept are filthy beyond description. One of the causes of the fearful mortality among the children is the condition of the milk fed to them, and for which "fancy prices" have been paid by parents, believing it to be of a superior quality.

Wx shall see whether the democratic members of the next con Kress will refuse to make appropriations for the armv and navv unless it commander-in-chief will tie his hands by the pledges and restrictions which would render them both practically worthless to the country. If democracy shall take that step. Its platform may be briefly summed up In opposition to the Improvement of Uie country at home and opposition to Its defense against foreijrn and domestic enemies. Louisville Commercial. If your "commander in chief" wants the army to protect returning board thieves while plotting and perfecting frauds, or for other purposes equally infamous, the democratic party will be very likely to refuse appropriations, and if there is a radical who would favor appropriations for the aid of such purposes, it would prove that he is not for "reform within the party." Devexs claimed that he purchased Sims with his own money. Wendell Thillips provid it to be untrue. Sims says it is a lie. . The Journal thinks that eince Devens tried to purchase the slave, he is very well vindicated. He may have tried to buy Sims, but he did not try to tell the truth about the, matter. But he is a part of an administration that succeeded by perjury, and a lie now and then will not set him back any. After two weeks suspended animationDr. Green, of Hoosi ;k, New York, has been restored to life. His body has been in the vault closely watched, and when signs of returning consciousness were seen medical aid was summonei, and in a little while the man was out of danger. Two years ago he passed through a similar experience. A Washington bookseller has made ptb lie the fact that he purchased two hundifd copies of the agricultural reports for 1874 d 1875, of a member of congress who had re ceived them for distribution among his constituents, for which he paid ten cents apiece. That honorable member niuit have been hard pushed, and content with a very small steal. Ills Fraudulency. Lakayktte, April 16, 1877. To the Editor of the Sentinel: If the Nashville American claims the paternity of the term His Fraudulency, as you say it does, that paper claims what it has no right to. That term was suggested by a Lafavette correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, who wrote, over the nom deplume of "Übet," 'a short letter to that paper a few days before the consummation of the presidential fraud, suggesting that in case Hayes should be counted in by means of returning board and other party rascality he should ever after be known as "His Fraudulency." "Übet" said that "such a nomenclature would stick to him like the historical poisoned shirt, and it ought to.". j. n. The Nashville American claims to have originated the term "His Fraudulency." as the Sentinel stated. It now has an opportunity to make good its claim or 6tep down. Fr HHO. ISt. Louis Times. A newspaper in West Virginia is of the opinion that Blue Jeans Williams for president and Wade Hampton for vice president would constitute about, the strongest ticket that could be put in the field for 1880; but if the democrats of Indiana are to have any say at all in this matter they have a gentleman already selected as their presidential standard bearer whose claim is considerably prior to that of their excellent governor,. Iiis name is Hendricks. PROF. TYXD ALL'S WARMXG. In concluding an address to the students of University College (London) Professor Tyndall, who Is unquestionably one of the most indefatigable brain workers of oar century, said, "take care of your health. Imagine Hercules as oarsman in a rotton boat; what can he do there but by the very force of his stroke expedite the ruin of his craft Take care of the timbers of your boat" The distinguished scientist's advice is equally valuable to all workers. We are apt to devote all our energies to wielding, the oars, our strokes fall firm and fast but few of us examine or even think of the con- -dition of our boats until the rotten or broken . timbers suddenly give way and we findomrselves the victims of a calamity which could have been easily avoided by a little forethought What began with a slight fractare, or perhaps even a careless exposure todisorganizing influences, ends in the complete wreck of the life boat The disease which began with a slight headache or an undue exposure to cold terminates in death, unless its progress be checked, and the disease remedied. The first symptoms, the heralds of disease, give no indication of the strength of the on-coming foe, and the victim trusts that his old ally. Nature, will exterminate the invader. But Disease is an old general and accomplishes his most important movements in the night time, and some bright morning finds bim in possessio of one of the strongest fortifications: and when he has once gained a stronghold in the system Nature ignominiously turns traitor and secretly delivers up the whole physical armory to the invader.
