THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, ! WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 2, 3878;

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2.

A statcz of Be n De Bar as Falstaff is to be placed in Tower Grove park, St. Louis. That of Shakespeare, cast at Munich, has been shipped to this country, and on its arri val Trill be placed in position on a granite rase in the park. The statue is of bronze, a gift to the city of St. Louis from Henry Bbaw. Kimball, tho financial Moody of the eburcb, has at last cot to a place where nothing will touch the people. Dr. Scudder's church at Brooklyn Invited him to "come 'over and raise $C7,000 to get the church out cf debt." He obeyed tho call, but not a dollar could he get pledged, and he was forced to give up In despair. Th chromo has been used for the advancement of almost every known project, but a man of lllgartown, Massachusetts, has put it at last to a new use. He has offered a chronio to any person who will attend church service every Sunday morning for the next six months. Now the oysters can lay down on the half shell, and rest satisfied with the record of the past. Okxeeal Robeut Toombs will vi3it rar.s this is bat a i incident of whit he intends shall be a 1q fj European toar. He remarked to a friend if! relation to seeing the great exhibition: "This will be the third exposition that I 'have attended in Taris. I attended the expcsitio:i of 1335 as a senator, I attended the 'exposition of 1SG7 as a refugee, and lam 'jping to this one as a gentleman." When the body of the Baroness de Buissiore, Bon. Ilolliday's daughter, was carried to iha grave, a few days ago in Naw York, but three persons accompanied it. Two were gentlemen who had known the family for years, and the other an old and faithful nnrse who had been with the lady all her life. The Baroness came to tho United States from Franca very recently, in order to resist her father in a contest about her mother's will. This document was very peculiar, and had given rise to many legal quibbles over phrasing and technicalities. A short time since, by an act of the board of education of New Haven, Connecticut, ta3 Bibla was excluded from the public schoota cf that city. Now over 1,200 citizens have petitioned the board to reconsider the vote, "and restore the Bible to the teacher 'and pupil aa one of the books to be in daily 'use in the ecliools." It is not considered probable that th:3 petition will have any effect, as the members of the board were almost unanimous in their belief that the exclusion of the I.ible would serve a better purpose than to have its reading compulsory and distasteful. Mas. Wnsacr., the St. Louis woman who murdered her child while she was temporarily insans, was of au exceedingly nervous temperament. Her husband testified before the jury that sho was loving and kind, and that their life was very happy, and sho seemed always contented, with one exception. She was pa.siionately fond of sensational f torie?, and read them a great deal. After reading one more than usually bloodthirsty she would cry and rave as if wild. She seemed to imagine herself the heroine of the story, and would behave accordingly. She .was easily touched by a pathetic tale, and would weep for hours over some highly wrought scene cf imaginary distress. Some sutforiRs destitute women applied for relief at a poor mission of Cincinnati. They were viiited by some of the lady members cf the mid-ion, and presented with malaga grapes, bannnas and oranges, when they wer3 in need cf bread, meat and clothing. The poor woran in speaking of the matter said: "OIi! if they had only civen us something substantial to eat." The high price of the fruit would have been an ample amount to have f urnished potatoes and meal enough f jr several days, and would have been the most sensible gifts. But the ladies who w;re so kindly disposed lacked only judgment, cot kindly sympathy; their impulses were those of the heart, not of the head. Dr. Hollasd, tin editor of Scribner's llonibly, was badly imposed upon by a plagiari3t,.and in reference to this the following tote was tent to the New York Tribune: New York, Dec. IS, 1877.

A pretty little jiirl of nine years was arrested in a stare in New York city a few days ago. Whn arrested she stated to the ofUcars that her in jtber had taught her to steal, and that sho was beaten almost to death when she went home at night without enongh plunder. Sue was humbly dressed, and was timid and .shrinking in her be hivior. Sbe had several valuable silk handkerchiefs in hr fcker when examined, besides purses and s-n ill articles of brie abrae. Sie said that silk handkerchief j were the most paying articles she could steal, as they wer g-n-mlly clean and nice, and second hand soirrs would pay a bitter price for them than anything else, aud that she run len ri.k in t'.king them, as they were generally in on side cloak pockets and loosely put In. She will probably be sent to the reform atcy

YOU.VO JIEX ASJ THE CAMPAIGN. The political campaign in Indiana for 1378 has commenced. It involves considerations of vital importance, and will be far reaching in its consequences. The government of the country has been for many years absolutely under the control of the radical rarty. Under Grant radicalism was unrestricted and unequivocally supreme. State and general governments were radical. All interests were under radical influences. Radicalism set up and knocked down, ad libitum. Obstacles to its despotic sway, however formidable, were beaten down as things of straw Constitutions were stabbed in the presence of the people rights secured in many a hard fought battle against tyranny were cloven down as things of no consequence legislatures chosen by the people were dispersed by mailed soldiers at the point of the bayonets federal soldiers, to secure partisan triumphs, stood guard in the rotundas of state capitols, and a reign of despotism was inaugurated. Grant, educated to the profession of arms, abandoned the army for a position in a tanyard, and sinking by the low instincts of hia beastly nature from glory to grease, was at last aroused from his sottish habits, and floated into the presidential chair on the blood red waves of civil war. What ne xt? Every thinggood in government, everything honest in politics, everything decent in civil polity nd everything ennobling and dignifying in human affairs was debauched. Thieves took possession of fiscal affairs; mendacity battered down truth; the bloo-iy shirt displaced the country's flag; duplicity pushed honc3ty to the wall; bayonets usurped the place of ballots; the slimy tracks of fraud were seen everywhere upon the records of the government, and finally, as the climax of ail this deep and damning depravity, the leaders of the radical party utilized perjury, and, making a record of blasphemous lies unparelleled in the archives of hell, placed R. B. Hayes in the oftice of president. The people, who love country better than party, seeing these things, have concluded that a change is required; hence state after state has cut loose from radical moorings and drifted to the democratic party. Radical ism in its multiform scoundrelism not only robbed the revenues of the general government and of states, but laid its hands upon the laws of the country, and by violation of solemn compacts sought to make the people the sHves of a moneyed power more cruel and ie potic than the government of czar or sultan. Cold as an iceberg, callous as a petrefaction, soulless as a toad, the radical managers, in the interest of bondholders and money sharks, have brought upon tho people widespread ruin. The people are now waking up. They realizs that they have been believing, not one radical lie, but ten thousand radical lies; that they have been lulled into repose.while the money sharks have robbed them of their substance; that they have been tho victims of a cruel delusion, and that every consideration of self preservation and self defense demands that the radical party shall cease to control the destinies of the country. In Indiana tho managers, to perpetuate the power of the party, disfranchised thousands of citizens by a districting fraud which the more it ij . examined the mora despicable it becomes. The Journal dare not attempt its defense. Its tilence is ominous. It sees the general waking up ot the people, and for venal considerations is trying to tighten their fett?rs by advocating the veto power. The young men of Indiana are closely scanning the situation. Thousands of them will cast their first vote in 1S73. What will be their decision? The occasion with them is one of vast moment They can not ally themselves to a party whose chief distinction is that of roguery. They will hesitate to identify themselves with a party that employed the Louisiana returning board to defeat the will of the people. They will not consent to raise their unsoiled hands to prop up a party that is tumbling to pieces by the weight of its crimes. Their future success and influence as citizens confront them. Their sense of integrity forbids such a course. Their young and manly hearts and their noble purposes revolt at the idea. They will not tie themselves by their votes to the corpse of radicalism. Its bloated and distorted carcass is too repulsive. It is beyond redemption or resurrection. The democratic party is in sympathy with the people. It is battling for their interests. It is against fraud. It is for konest counts; against returning' boards. It is for the people against the bondholders. It is for prosperity against adversity, bankruptcy, idleness and rnin. The young men of Indiana will be likely to take these things into consideration and cast their first vote in 1S78 for honest government. THE nnilM DCTforilACY SOLID. Tha democratic party of Indiana was never in better fighting trim. There are no disagreements, there are no discord?, no lack of harmony united, compact, zealous; confident and defiant, it is ready for the campaign to commence. Its position upon all the great measures of public concern is absolutely impregnable. It ii the people's party. It does not halt nor hesitate. It does not wriggle and trim. Discarding all ambiguities, it boldly demands legislation in the interest of the people. The democracy of Indiana believe that the effort to resume specie payments on the 1st of Januiry, 1379. is impracticable; that it involves a further contraction of the currency, afready far too limited for the needs of business, and that, worse still, contraction will indefinitely intensify the gloom that has settled down upon the country. Upon this proposition the democracy of Indiana is a unit, solid, firm and unyielding. The same may be said in regard to t!te remonetizition of silver. There is no difference of opinion and no debite. The people sea thi, and are coming to the democratic fold and ranging themselves under its. banners. The policy, is right, and when the convention meets on the 20th of February the platform

will enunciate the right doctrine, and victory will be assured. Compare the condition of the democratic party of Indiana with the radical party. While democracy is bold and united, radicalism is shrinking and divided. Conscious pf its manifold iniquities, having no ambition but to hold office for the swag to be secured, snapping, snarling, fighting and growling, the radical party is discordant, belligerent, without cohesion or concord weak, puerile, false to every honest principle, ready to sell out to bondholders and money sharks. The work of disintegration is going forward rapidly. The people see these things, and are studying them carefully. The radical party in Indiana is without leaders, principle, policy, integrity or anything else that can by any possibility commend it to favorable consideration of honest men. With the death of Morton the whole combination commenced going to pieces, and the scenes that transpired at tho pow-wow Thursday evening evidences the fact that the organization is broken, anl 13 no longer entitled to consideration.

THE JOURNAL ASD THE CAMPAIGN. The Journal appears to be profoundly interested in the immediate future of the democratic party of Indiana. It is not surprising that such should be the state of its mental machinery. It sees the democratic party in the ascendency, and it realizes tho feet that its triumphs over radicalism will be more decided in the future than they have been in the past. In the flurry and dazed condition of the Journal, it talks immensely but says less than usual. It sees wonderful sights and hears 6trange saunds, which it attempts to interpret as meaning calamities to the democratic party. It manufactures canards, and with arguments of the Mother Goose style tries to make its readers believe they are facts. In the weakness of its judgment and incapacity to note the drift of public sentiiuent, it masses its popguns and blazes away with its dough balls against the people, and in favor of vetoing the two great measures of relief now before congress. We refer to the silver bill and the bill to repeal the resumption law. These measures, if carried through congress, it is believed, will work great benefit to the country. The Journal assumes that Hayes knows more about tho- needs of the people than the people themselves or their representatives. It has proclaimed itself in favor of more contraction, more bankruptcy, more Idleness and distress; and it is laughable to see the Journal open its mouth upon these subjects and put its foot in it. It is humiliating to see the onrsn of radicalism in Indiana demanding that Hayts shall veto the only measures of relief that have been brought forward for the business depression now cursing the country. Those who have read the Journal's puerile platitudes in defense of its course have felt a deep detestation for its treachery to tha peapic of Indiana, which Its vulgar attacks upon Senator Voorhees do not obscure or palliate. It should be understood that the Journal has been tho unblushing advocate and apologist of every fraud and villainy of its party since it commenced plundering the revenues ot tho general government, and of all the states where it has held sway. It ceaselessly attacks Ssnator Voorhees as a "salary grabber," as it that distinguished statesman had committed a felony. It omits no opportunity to open its batteries of mud upon hi3 name and fame in hope that it will dampen the ardor of the people's admiration, and detract from the brilliancy of his abilities. In this the Journal is doing Senator Voorhees less damage than it suspects. The people recoguizo the motive of the Journal, and increase their rrgard for the man who is now doing his whole duty as one of their representatives in the senate. The Journal is profoundly silent upon the infamous fraud practiced by its party upon the people in districting the state a fraud which strikes directly at their rights as citizens, and which wrs concocted, like the Louisiana returning board, to defeat the will of the people. This fraud is now one of the issues before the people of Indiana, and the Journal dare not attempt its defense. To overcome this fraud and secure a democratic majority ia the next legislature is the purpose of the democratic party, and tho signs f the times and the drift of public sentiment give assurances of success. This the Journal doubtless sees, and hence its twaddle about Senator Voorhees and the democratic state convention. It intimates that it wants a 'fair field and a fair fight" In the nme of the democratic party of Indiana we tell it that it shall have both. It shall have it from the 20th day of Febraary, 1S73, nntil the going down of the sun on election day. We tell it that it shall have an opportunity to extol the veto power, to plead the cause of bondholders, to defend thi gerrymandering fraud of its party in disfranchising thousands of voters in this state, and it shall have an opportunity for the display of its tactics in defending the ra sthjJj practiced by the perjured villains who made Hayes president, Nothing will plea-e the democracy of Indiana more than to give radicalism a fair Held and fair fight. We are not particularly c m ccrned as to who shall be the radical leader in the campaign, whether there be one or a dot in leaders. We are not interested in knowing who shall put on Morton's old clothes. It is enough to know that the democratic party has the right, and that the people of Indiana have determined up jn reform. Disfatches from Itjma to the London papers state that gangrene threatens the pope's leg. This news was to fill a lull in the excitement ot the eastern war. After Pievna fell there was nothing for the correspondent to seiza but the popj. an I a all the diseases In the newpgatherer' vocabulary had been exhausted, it wai resolved to begin on gangrene. As the ' G" column has been reached, expect "gout" next.

Joined now to the de-ttroylns hind of time Is that of lordly man to lav thee low. Thy columns grand like those of Parthenon, The prida of ancient Urecco are doomed to fall; This solemn thud, resounding on my heart, Wake mournful, s ldueuing echoes ot the past ; And rouse my thought to pleasing recollection. A romping child I gamboled o'er thy swTd, And gazed with wonder on thy massive form. E'en then my bosom thrilled with statesman's pride. I stood and looked upon thy pillars grand. Surmounted by thy bhlnlng, bilv'ry dome, O'er which our 11 g was floating on the breeae; Nor deemed in all the realm thou hadst a peer. How tft with throng of little ones I've played About thy mouldering walls at hide and seek; With reckless, thoughtless t.ead and clinging hauds Skimmed round the columns that enrlbbed thy Bide, And stood an Instant In each recess hid A breathing sUitue. or'witU heaJlong haste Went tumbling to the ground, rcsi quickly up.

At lofty height- we reached thy windowed dome, And quickly ran from this outlook to that, To bco what vast extent comprised our world By daii us uixed our broUior scaled thy roof And stood like uuo who had achieved ronowti.

A thousand childish voices roso In fcong, fiorne upward on the air ; then followed prayer, And then the declaration grand was read, The which, I now declare, seemed oyer long. Then, best of all, there cam a the feast of cakes, And snowy rolls were passed to every child, And tin cup bright, with l'.quld crysUl filled, iWrtshlng as the falll 115 dews of heaven Refresh tho thirst lug earth to us. Then came rcKsasaand careless gtoe until The lon, lojg bummer's day drew near its close. Thy floor has echoed to the martial tread In la er years of brave and stalwart m n.

They pray for $10,000 damages. Sir. Iteeelier'-s Xew Religion. Xew York Times.l Mr. Bjecher has definitely decided that there 13 no hell. On Sunday morning last he not only asserted this consoling doctrine with great force of language, but solemnly swore to its truth. This settles the matter; at all event?, in the eetimation of those who regard Mr. Leccher'fl evidence under oath as conclusive and unimpeachable. The sermon in which Mr. IJaecher abolishes hell is in many rerects a very remarkable one. It 'is, in fact, a denial of revelation and the promulgation of a new religion, based silely upon the private taste of its inventors. lie takes the cronnd that a belief in the doctrine of the Trinity is of no sort of consequence. As far as he is personally concerned, he admits that he rather believes in tho doctrine, since it is taught in the Scriptures, and it ia hence rat her easier to accept it than to nject it. Still he calls it downright ''heathenism" to require a belief in it as a prerequisite to church membership. Now, it is clear that if the Scriptures are a revelation from God any doctrine taught therein as Mr. Ileechcr assumes that the doctrine of the Trinity is must be of divine origin. Ot course, he does not mean to say that when God teaches a doctrine it isof no consequence whether we believe it or not. Hence he most reject tbethcory that the Bible is a divine revelation, and that it has any supernatural authority whatever. Having thus abolished the inspiration of the Scriptures. Mr. Beecher greatly simplifies the task of abolishing hell. It is no longer necessary for him to prove that the Scriptures da not assert the existence of hell, and that all the supposed allusions to that unpleasant place are purely figurative. Whether the existence of hell is or is not tanght in the Scriptures is a matter of indifference to the Plymouth preacher. In fact, he virtually admits that it is so taught. Speaking of Adam's fall, he remarks: "It is said thr.t Adam sinned, and that in consequence of that sin the whole human race fell." Although he does not say where this is said, but mentions it as though it were a current rumor of unknown origin, be knows that "it is said" in the Bible, and that no sect professing to recognize the inspiration of the entire Bible dreams of denying it. Being thus of Scriptural origin, the doctrine of the fall and of the consequent punishment of sinners i?. like tho doctrine of the Trinity, a matter of no sort of consequence. We can not be required to believe either in the Trinity, the fall, or the existence of hell, since none of them has any better authority than the collection of ancient writings commonly called the Old and New Testament. All obstacles being thus cleared out of his way, Mr. Bee c her rejects the doctrine of the existence of hell with immense enthusiasm. If God created hell, he asserts that he is "a monster piore hideous than Satan himself." Essentially the same remark has frequently been niaile by avowed disbelievers in revela tion, and it has generally been stiematized by piou? people us bla-phemy. Now that, it is rt iiersted by a minister in good standing in the Congregational denomination, it, of course, loses any piss-ible taint of blasphemy, and must be regarded as an eloquent statement of religious tiuth. Other language, equally forcible, is used by the great preacher, and if there really was a hell, there, is no doubt that, out of respect to Mr. Beecher's eloquent remarks, it would be promptly abolished. Unlike many other inventors of a new religion, Mr. Beec'ier doefl not claim to have any personal inspiration of Lis own. In throwing overboard the doctrine of the inspiration of the Bible, he does not attempt to supply its ulace with a new Plymouth Bible, with the word "not" omitted from the commandments. The new and only rule nf faith and practice is his private taste. He loes not like the theory that there is a hell for the punishmentof hypocntes.adulterers, perjurers and other criminals, and accordingly he disbelieves it. In like manner, if there is any other doctrine of Christianity which seems to him unpleasant or inconvenient, he can reject if, and can substitute in its place any theory of his own which may happen to strike his fancy. This constitutes his new religion, one of the easiest and most enjoyable that has yet been invented, and its great buperiority to Christianity will be at once recognized by all who find themselves cramped and restrained by the latter. Fortunately, Mr. Beecher had not promulgated his new religion at the time when be last occupied the witness stand in a court of law. Had it then ben understood that he rejected Christianity, ani disbelieved in the future punishment of perjurers, it might have somewhat affected the influence of his testimony up n ihetnindaof the jurors. At that time it wks expressly understood that he believed in hell, and he had even asserted in one of his letters that he had utTered "the tortures of the damned." That, fd course, was like nil the rent of his curious correspondence a pur?ly figurative assertion, for if there is uo hell no one can be damned, and no one can suffer tortures appropriate to the damned. Although Mr. Beecher's religion is a novelty in its relation to the creed of the re b'giousrxKly with which Le is still connected, it has often been preached by pure rationalists. This probably explains why he has latterly ppoken with so much respect of the church of Come. He has doubtless reci-niz-d as true the favorite rationalist proverb that "there is no half way between Rome and Ilesson." He respects the Roman Catholic ehurch because its assumption of infallibility makes ita teachings logicd. and consisunt, but he despises orthodox protestantism because, having rej cted an infallible church.it still clings 10 an infallible look, and insists that reason must bow to revelation. The It iraan Catholic wh hts committed adultery or peijury or any other crim can obtain absolution'from the priest; the ra'ionalht sinner need not trouble himself concerning the consequences of his crime, since be disbelieves in future punishment; but the orthodox Protestant who commits grave crimes f uffets 'roni the dread of hell. Mr. Becher does not care 4o embrace Rjmani m, but he fef.urvs pence of mind by embracing rationalitm, and there is no doubt that in so doing be proves himself a wise and prudent man.

171 Brof her' Pardon I Washington Corref sondonce Hartford Times The recent suicide of William V. Coolbaugb, of Chicago, the presiden t of the V nion National bank of that city, which created a social as well as financial sensation, has not yet been accounted for, though many theories have feeen suggested as the cause that led bim to that rash act. "While at the department of justice, several days 8go,I learned something of him and a matter in which he was very much interested, which was, without doubt, one of the causps. It appears that about ten years ago a brother of Coolbaugh's was convicted in the west for a depredation on the mails, and sentenced to fifteen years in the Kansas City penitentiary, where he is now serving out Lis term. Under ordinary circumstances, he would not have received more than five or six years for his offense; but it appears he defied and iusulted the judge when about to sentence him, which so enraged the court that the sentence was lengthened. About six months ago a Chicago lawyer called on Mrs, Coolbaugb, the wife of the convict, and told her that if she paid him $30), he would secure the pardon of her husband. The papers were regularly made out and sent to Hayes, strongly indorsed by many who knew all the facts in the case, asking for executive clemency. Hayes, as is customary in tuch cases, referred them to the attorney general, before whom the attorney in question made an argument in favor of the pardon. Everything worked satisfactorily, and the attorney left for Chicago; fully of the opinion that in a short time the psrdon would be made. He called upon Mrs. Coolbangh upon his return to that city, and, after reporting the progress he had made, asked for his fee, or at least a part of it, with the understanding that he was to receive the balance as soon as the pardon was issued. Mrs. Coolbaugb called upon William V. Coolbaugh, the banker, and asked him for the money to pay the attorney. He declined to aid her, taking the ground that, although the convict was his brother, he thought .it would be better to Jet him serve out the whole of the sentence. Of course the wife objected to this, but she was made to believe that if the pardon was granted, her husband, as soon as released, would again get into more trouble; and further, that he was very much incensed at her and all of his friends for allowing him to remain in as long as he had, and that he had threatened that when be was relaased he would kill all hands, she being among the number. Mrs. Cooibiugh informed him that it was too late now to interfere, the pardon was about to be granted, and she could not stop it, even if she desired. Coolbaugh told her that he could put a stop to all proceedings if she would write a letter protesting against the pardon being granted, which ihe was finally prevailed upon to do. The lawyer was paid his fee, and told that bis services were no longer needed in the case. On the following day Coolbaugh telegraphed to the attorney general, urging him to take no further steps in relation to the pardon, and telegraphing, also, a copy of the wile's letter. He then mailed the letter, as also other papers in connection with the matter, and was informed, in reply, that nothing further would he done. A tew hours after Le received the letter from Washington, informing him of the successor his tifbrts in preventing the pardon, he threw Chicago into an excitement by committing suicide. Over Work RreeUi Insanity. ' 1 From the New York Sun. Dr. Ordronaax, etace commissioner in lunacy, in his conference wilh the board of apportionment about the B'.ackweU's island nsylum, was asked why there was a rapid increase of insanity ia the city. He replied: 1 It is greatly due to the aggregation ot people In metropolitan centers, wuere bu lness rivalries are very Intense, lu those centers it Is found that the vitality of th system after a generation or two is dimlti.shcti, and the children ot unhealthy parents 001110 lntothe world yuedlspostd to insanity. We seem to be reproducing In this rewptct the Ktate ol things which existed lu Nineveh and Babylon. It is a dreadful picture that Dr. Ordronaux draws. Is the great mental activity required by the rushing, driving business of the city really leading to a generation of lunatics? We have at hand this pertinent passage from a sermon by Prof. Swing, of Chicago: A grain aealer found a few yers ago that hisinind was b?iug transformed into a sense of heat. As the eye is a sense ot light, and the ear of Bound, and the tongue of taste, so he had cisplaced these by a new sense a sense of wheat. He rose early to learn the latest quotations east, he sat up late at night to flcure at the margin on the last or next miliirm bushels, and of wheat he dreamed, arid amid it he ate and attempted to think or talk. All else began to disappear from the world; literature, religion, friendship, amusements, were all flyirg ou' of the window, wmle wheat was coming In at t he door. The grain dealer. Processor Swing says saved himself from insanity by limiting his hours of business to four a day, anJ occupying his mind during the rest of his waking time with thoughts of eomething else than grain. Hie remedy is good, but difficult to be applied. It is easy enough for a manual laborer to forget bis work when he is through with it for the day, but mercantile and professional men find it harder. .The mind is less controllable than the body, for it refuses to rest when it is weariest; yet much may be done by an ttfort at mental discipline in this direction, as anybody can prove by thorough trial. After leaving your store or office, avoid thinking of your business until you return to it on the morrow. Do hot take home the abstracted manner that shows you to be working hard in the time that belongs to rest Do not sit in p!acts of amusement looking vacantly at tne erforniance, but neither seeing nor hearing it. It is better to sleep in your pew at church than to be seemingly listening to the termon, while your mind is exclusively occupied with plans for Monday. In Jeed. sleep is about the best test of your mental health, unless you have softening of the brain. If you can sleep dreamlesdy eight hours every night, you are in no immediate danger of going insane. Tender unU Jroxj umal. On' tae occasion of a recent breach of promise case the following letter was read: "I have refrained from raphsodizing in tbis opening epistle, but I can not, and must cot close without expressing the Deo profundus of my love and how my soul is always with you, and how delightfully I contemplate our meeting to-morrow night. I have read love letters in the press andi elsewhere that terminated by saying a million kisses, or ten thousand kisses, and such like, with a particular place on the paper marked for the purpose. This I think absurd, and shall not adopt it. How, my darling, can paper convey the rapture of a virgin violet kis? Let us kiss when we meet and when we parr, until we shall meet to part no more, and then kiss altogether, world without end, amen. Your own affectionate Eiwin." The damages awarded were $10,000.
