1THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL. WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 21, 1879.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 21,

Hates, peTjury, fraud and veto. Such is Republicanism in a nutshell. Governor Ccllosc, of Illinois, is now re garded as tha great American ass. The people do not relish the veto. It is .not in consonance with a free Government.. It would be an excellent thing to force the 'Republican conspirators to explain Hayes vetoes. ' The New York Legislature is wrestling 'With the interest question with some prospect that the legal rate will be fixed at 6 per cent. ' ' ' It will be a good time for Democrats to adjourn and go home as soon as the appro priation bills, with their riders, have been passed. We shall be pleased to hear the organs of "the Republican conspirators explain away their responsibility for killing the army. Nothing would delight us more. OiJ) Pomeroy, the Republican scamp, is supposed to have had something to do with the negro exodus. He wanted to speculate upon the sufferings of the negro. He is a .representative Republican. It is a fact worthy of note that any measure passed by Congress in defiance of Republican opposition will be defeated finally by Hayes. Speaking of the silver bill which -the Shylock press opposes, the New York Tribune says if Congress passes it, " it's veto by the president is certain." The one-man power is inaugurated and booming. How does this agree frith the veto mes sages? Secretary of State Everts, a member of Hayes' cabinet, is on record as follows: When men vote, and -when their chosen officers meet to conduct the affairs of their political governments, no soldiers can Intersere. I tiw limit to weir aiiutguiiiaiiis no puiii,leal party can safely pass. George W. McCrary, another member of the cabinet, in a book recently written, says: An armed force in the neighborhood of the polls is almost of necessity a menace to the voters, and an interference with their freedom and Independence. Hon. William H. Seward, the father of Republicanism, said: Civil liberty and a standing army for the purposes of civil police have never yet stood together, and never can stand together. Now, compare them all with the veto twaddle. Here is what old fogy England says about "bayonets at the polls," but Hayes and Republicanism are away beyond that. A statute of George II., re-enacted under Victoria, -and still in full vigor, reads as follows: Section 2. And be it enacted, that on every -day appointed for the nomination, or for tbe election, or for taking the poll for the election of a member or members to serve in tbe Commons House of Parliament, no soldier within two miles ot any city, borough, town or place where sucn nomination or election shall be -declared or poll taken. Khali be allowed to go out of the barrack or quarters in which he is stationed, nnless for the purpose of mounting or relieving guard, or for giving bis vote at such election; and that every soldier allowed to go ont for such purpose within the limits aforesaid shall return to his barrack or quartern with all convenient speed as soon as his guard shall have been relieved or vote tendered. We belong to times that "boom." "Strong" Sovernmants are in demand. Bayonets, and not ballots, are the requirements of Radicalism. Mr. W. H. Kemble, a member of the National Republican committe from Pennsylvania, put himself on record very handsomely at one time, and should not be forgotten in these times when Republicanism, its ways and modes, are struggling once more for the mastery. The letter was writ ten to Titian J. Coffey, Esq , then assistant Attorney general of the United States, introducing a Mr. George 0. Evans, who had large claims of the State of Pennsylvania in bis bands to collect. Kemble was then state treasurer of Pennsylvania. Treasury Dep't of Pennsylvania,! Harrisbubg, March 20, 18t7. I To Titian J. Coffey, Esq , Washington, D. C: My Dear Titian Allow me to introdnce to yon my particular friend, Mr. George O. Evans. He has a elaim of some magnitude that he wishes yon to help him in. Pat him through as you would me. He understands addition, division and silence. Yours, W. H. Kexblk. The watchword in the heyday of Grantism was "addition, division and silence." Hence more of Grant Is hankered for, and ire have the third-termers a power in the land. Then comes "Zack" and "Bill" Chandler, "supervisors and bayonets at the polls," : "consolidation" and "permanent presidents," strong governments, State lines rubbed out, and "nation" with a tig "N." ' J at Gould, the owner of that highly moral cipher organ the New York Tribune with all his shrewdness and smartness, some ho w or. other gets tripped up and caught every now and then. He has been recently indicted by a New Jersey grand jury for an alleged fraudulent transaction with railroad bonds. The chancellor, in his decision, says that the car company were defrauded in the transaction tinder consideration, there is no room to doubt. A Mr. Bantley gives some idea of the manner in which Jay Gould operates, in his testimony, which is as follows: ... Mr. Gould, when he was president of the xoad. instructed me to get up a consolidated bond, I thiuk for tlJMOjAO, and provision was made lor retiring the outstanding bonds of tbe company, I think about 83,5OU,0u. I complied with his request, and the text, I think, was done by Judge Green. I took it to Air. Gould, and he Interlined two or three additional rail roads to be mortgaged. I said to him. "You don't own these roads, and therefore can't mortgage them ;" but he replied that before the bonds were lsnuea ne would obtain them by foreclosure, or by an arrangement so that thev would go in ana be mortgaged. Mr. Bently adds that he never knew that the - consolidation was periectea. It seems that Jay took it into his head to mortgage other people's property. He was told that it did not belong to him. He re plied that he would have it before long. Gould and Jim Fisk secured controlling in terests in the road when It was paying well, ' but it was not long before they bad it in trouble and everybody connected with it. A wxi-l informed Washington correspond' nt writes that "from all that can be as certained it appears probable that the Dem ocrats will have no concern about the srmy appropriation bill during the coming two or three weeks. Requlescat in pace for tbe present is what they say in regard to it In

the meantime they will go forward with the

legislative bills in the Senate. They will send that bill, containing sections modifying the supervisors law, to the president, and give him an opportunity to issue an' other partisan manifesto. When he shall have vetoed that bill, separate measures, repealing the juror's test oath and modifying the supervisors law will be sent hint; then the majority in Congress will conside nn what shape the appropriation bills will be finally acted upon especially what restrictions shall be inserted regarding the use of the money, appropriated."

BOTZOH FACTS. Why not get down to bed-rock and dismiss all foolishness? The Republican conspirators are determined to have troops at the polls. They are determined in 1380, as in 1876, to control elections by bayonet rule. They believe in cartridge-boxes instead of ballot boxes, and bayonets Instead of ballots. They have been compelled ' to define their position. They have mapped ont their programme. They are committed Their mouths are full of lies. Their speech condemns them. They are traitors to truth. Their tactics are treason. Their professions of patriotism are damnable perfidies. Their logic is larceny they steal the livery of statesman end flaunt them in the face of tbe public that they may maintain power and prestige but when they are stripped of their disguise they appear in all the hideousness of convicted felons, the most detestable miscreants that bafoul the pure air of heaven. These conspirators, having moulded Hayes to suit their purposes, now defiantly proclaim the one man power, and propose to bulldoze Congress; and having done this, make the Democratic party responsible. To accomplish this the conspirators lie without ceasing. They lie in Congress and out of Congress lie in their organs and their speeches. Having placed Hayes in power by perjury, they intend to keep on lying till doomsday. By persistent misrepresents tion.by falsifying every record, by opening the- flood-gales of mendacity, thev hope to obscure the bottom facts, and in 1330 ride into power upon a tidal wave of lies, deception, prevarication and fraud. They are mistaken. Democrats have completely hedged them in, environed them with facta and cut them off from retreat. They have . got to face the music, stand up to the rack, plead gailty, or be proved guilty, and suffer the penalty. The demand of Republican con spirators, to have troops at the polls will not be granted, and partisian supervisors and marshals will be deprived of their power to arrest freemen and send them to prison. These infernal devices of Republi canism with the des testable test oaths will be done away with. These are bottom facts verities and upon them the Democratic party stands to-day, and will continue to stand. They can not be abandoned. The people indorse them. To give them up is to give up the fundamental principles of self-government, and this the Democratic party will not do. Nothing could be more fortunate than Hayes' vqteos. Tbey come at the right time. They have the necessary amount of treason in them. They have all the fangs and claws of Republicanism fully devel oped centralization, bayonets, bullets, despotism, etc., to the end of the chapter, in cluding Zack Chandler and John Sherman. It is well; the Democrats may now rest Let the people take hold of the matter, and clean out the whole villainous crew. The bottom facts are at last brought to the surface, and the people can contemplate them at their leisure. DANCING. The world is given to dancing; why not? What is the harm? Who is injured? Let us be rational. Dancing is natural. It is in consonance with youth. It lingers some times until years have turned raven locks to gray. It is the body in sympathy with the heart. . It is an expression of joy, happiness. pleasure. It does no violence to any of the predispositions to benevolence, or the high est attainments of the mental faculities. It is the movement of the body in accord with music, the poetry of motion, the ele gance of exercise, the fruition of movement The heart responds with a quicker pulsatlon; the eye reveals the approval of the soul; tbe mind gets out of the ruts of humdrum employments and takes the elevated way to enjoyments, which music intensifies and common sense approves. Jsotwithstandirg all this there is a class of moralists (?) who are "down" on dancing.- They regard a fiddle as the special instrument of the devil, designed to carry out some dark design against the human family. A .Boston narrow gauge divine walks into the subject as follows: "There, elevated on 'a table, is a mustached gentleman, bolding a piece of wood to his shoulder and frantically drawing a poor horsehair over the dried viscera of a dead feline, shouting vociferously Incoherent sounds, the meaning oi wnicn must De guessed at, wniie men and women are mostly Jumping up and aowu.scoiuing, laugning, snouting, cougaing, wneeaing, oowing, smiling, frowning, wink ing, blinking, pushing, pulling, sweating, rushing, thundering, rumbling, tramping and stamping until tne aoay is exnaustea ana tne rungs cry ior air." It is not surprising that in the absence of such innocent amusement as dancing tbe people of Pocasset go into the business of child-murder in obedience to revelations. The writer of the foregoing nonsense says "I have often wondered why people dance." And to this the Boston Post responds: "Of course he has. There is a feelicg of satislao, tlon and delight experienced by the man or woman who really enjoys dancing that is akin to ecstasy. The mind delights in uni ties, and when the harmony of motion is in strict - accord with the harmony of sound a great triumph of being has been obtained, The man who dances with head and heart as well as with legs is -more of a man all other points of character be Ing equal and there is no reason why tbey may not be equal than be who wonders, in a dazed way, why people dance. Must we wonder at everything in the illim i table universe that we do not understand? If so, men might go about with mouth agape all the days of their lives. Again, this revereBd censor flings out once more tbe threadbare slanders and vulgar insinuations against the morality of dancing. We fear that he has wondered how he should feel in the poetry of the waltz, - and has reached conclusion not complimentary to himself. He does not know what is a fact, that young ladies enjoy waltzing with one another

almost as well as with the opposite sex, If they are better dancers than thtir gentlemen friends." ' '-V - ,.,f Bat we have no patience to pursue the subject. There seems to be a purpose on the part of a set of demented fanatics to make the world a tomb, and every-day life a funer

al; to rob youth of its enjoyments; to hush the laugh of innocence and attune the ear only to the croaking of human owls and frogs. Against all of this, common sense rebels, and the rebellion is likely to wins SOME CURIOUS AVERSIONS. A Collection of the Odd Idiosyncrasies Of the Noble and Plebeian. ., Cambers' Journal. The secretary of Francis I. used to stop nn his nostrils with bread if he saw a dish of apples, to prevent an otherwise inevitable bleeding at the nose. . A Polish king had an antipathy to both tbe eightand smell of this wholesome fruit, ana a family of Aquitaine had a hereditary hatred for it A Flemish damsel was sadly troubled by an uncomfort able aversion to tbe smell of bread. Cheese, mutton, musk, and ambergris have been so repugnant to so:ae nasal organs as to send thir owners Into convulsions. Ore try, the composer, could not endure the scent of the rose, neither could Anne, of Austria Toe mere sight ot tbe queen of flowers was too much for Lady Heneaee, bedchamber woman to Queen Bess; indeed, Kenelm lhgby records that her cheek be came blistered when some one laid a white rose upon it as she slept Her ladyship's antipathy was almost as strong as that of the dame who fainted when her lover approached her wearing an artificial rose in his buttonhole. A violet was a thing of horror to tbe eyes of the Princess de Lamballe: tansy was abominable to an earl of Barry more; Scatiger grew pale before the water cress: and a soldier, who would bave f corned to turn hfs back on a foe, fled with out shame from a sprig of rue. A poor Neapolitan was always seized with a fit upon attempting to swallow a morsel of fresh meat of any kind, and nature thus condemned him to vegetarianism, a sorer affliction than that suffered by Guianerius, whose heart palpitated violently if he indulged in a pork dinner, or by the lady who could rot taste udder of beer without her lips swelling to uncomfortable dimensions.' Dr. front bad a patient who declared honest mutton was as bad as poison to hiia. Thinking this was all fancy, the doctor adminis tered tbe obnoxious meat under various dis guises, but every experiment ended in a vomiting ht. Another unlucky individual always had a fit of gout a few hours after eating fish; and a Count d' Arms tad t never failed to go off in a faint if he knowingly partook of a dish containing the slightest modicum of olive oil. A still worse penalty attached to lobster salad in the case of a lady, for if she ventured to taste of it at a dancing party her neck, before she returned to the ballroom, would be covered with ugly blotches, and her peace of mind destroyed for the evening. According to Burton, a melancnoly Duke of Muscovey fell instantly ill if be looked upon a woman, and another authority was seized with a cola palsy under similar provocation. Weinricbur teils of a nobleman who drew the line at old ladies, which did not prevent him losing his life in consequence of his strange predjudice; for, being called from the supper table by some mlscnieveous friends to speak to an old woman, he fell down directly he beheld her: and die 1 then and there. What an old woman did for this old hater, an eclipse did for Charles d'Escare. Bishop of Langres. It was bis inconvient custom to faint at the commencement of a lunar eclipse, and remain insensible as long as it lasted. When be was very old and very infirm an eclipse took place. The good bishop went off, as usual, and never came to again. - Old John Laogley, who settled in Ireland in 1651, cherished an antipathy quite as obstinately, but had no idea of dying of it By his last will and testament he ordered bis corpse to be waked by 50 Irishmen, for each of whom two quarts of aqua vibe were to be provided, in the hope that, getting drunk, tbey would take to killing one another, and do something toward lessen ing the breed. The Sunday Law of the States. Chicago Inter-Ocean. Every State in the Union, with the single exception of Louisiana, has on its statutebooks a Sunday law of some kind, and they are all more or less fashioned after the Eng lish statute of Charles 11., passed in the year 1676, and familiarly known as the Lord's Day act.' In general terms it may be said that they prohibit labor "on the first day of tbe week, commonly called Sunday" (excepting works ot necessity or chanty), the transaction of ordinary mercantile Dos mess (except the selling of medicines), the keeping open of dram-shops and traveling in vehicles for business or pleasure, with exceptions in favor of ferrymen and mail carriers. In some of the Southern and Western States there are special provisions against the besetting sins of the region. Arkansai punishes Sunday indulgence in "brag, bluff, poker, seven-up, three-up. twenty-one, thirteen-cards, the odd-trick, forty five, whist, or any other game of cards," by a fine of from $25 to $50. Cali fornia charges from $50 to $500 in tbe shape ot a fine, for attending any "bull, bear, cock or pnze fight horse-race or circus," or for keeping open any gambling house, "or any place of barbarous or noisy amusement, or theater where liquors ars sold." Florida, for disturbing any congregation oi wniie persons, provides a fine not to exceed $100, or that the offender shall be "whipped" not exceeding 39 stripes, or imprisoned not ex ceeding six months." boutn ' caroiin alone of all the States, true to her puritanical traditions, sticks to tbe old notion of compelling attendance upon divine worship. Her statute still provides that all persons "having no reasonable or lawful excuse, on every Lord's day , shall reort to some meeting or assembly of religious worship. tolerated and allowed by the laws of the State, and shall there abide, orderly and soberly, during the time of prayer and preaching, on pain of forfeiture, for every neglect of the same, of the sum of $1." The Illinois Sunday law is much milder than the laws of most of the other States. It only prohibits the keeping open of tippling booses, and disturbing tbe peace or good order of society by unnecessary - labor, or amusement or diversion, with exceptions in favor of watermen and railroad companies. Murderer Cox's Bomuice. Wilmington Herald. In 1860 Cox attended school in WUmlng ton. Lulu Walking, of Tennessee, was pupil at a select school in the Basse city, The young people met and after a short courtship were married by a Methodist min ister, and fled from tbe town. An attempt was made to apprehend tbe couple, but Cox, then 18 years of age, stood upon his rights as a husband, as tne marriage naa ueen consummated before the officers came up with them. A reconciliation was had. Captain Jefferson Norris, a graduate of West Point in the class with Grant was an instructor in -the school, and be aided and was present at the marriage. He was dismissed from tne school. Cox's maariage was a bappy one, and'the wife who sat in the court room during tbe trial was tbe girl with whom he eloped nearly 20 years ago. The affair was a great social scandal at the time. A Big Newspaper. , TheChieago Inter-Ocean of Friday was the largest newspaper ever published in the United States. It contained 196 pages, the delinquent tax list occupying 190 of them. Tt ia Ma lanre as a good sized family Bible, and weighs several pounds.

INDIANA LAKES.;

Gradual but Notable Changes in tie Subsidence ot Their Waters. The Beasoni to be Xonnd ia the "Whole sale Destruction of the Forests. Something About th Sink-Holes In Ci southern Part of Indiana. Hover, in Cincinnati Gazette. A late copy of the Indianapolis News credits General Macauley with discovering, during a recent visit to Ltporte, that the waters of the lakes in that vicinity are rapidly subsiding. At one place, he says, the road led him across a beautiful meadow where, six years ago, pleasure boats sailed and fish were captured in large quantities. The company supplying the city with water had been compelled to seek a new supply, and old boat-houses and landings had been left high and dry. The reason given the general for this "freak ot nature" seem to have varied with the intelligence of the persons presenting them. Some assigned the cause to the free use of the water by the city; others thought it due to the large amount of ice harvested each winter; a few attributed it to evaporation, while others still (and by far the largest number probably) assigned it to increased drainage. NOTICEABLE CHARGES. The subsidence of these waters, though an admitted fact, is no new discovery. Lakes, as well as rivers, throughout the Northern part of the State, and throughout the entire State for that matter, are constantly chang ing, and it is not too much to predict that within another half century many of them, especially the former, will have been turned into waving fields of wheat and corn. Fifty years sgo the Indian paddled his canoe from the headwaters of the Manmee to the head waters of the Wabash. Now these rivers are 50 miles apart Traveling from Randolph county to Fort Wayne in May, 1326, Hon. U.iver H. Smith noted that "the streams were high and the paths for miles at a time were under water." In making this journey now one scarcely needs tight boots to keep his feet dry. A large lake at the intersection ot Huntington and Allen counties was formerly navigable for the largest pemques. and afforded abundant fish for the Indians upon its banks. Mr. Smith fonnd it in the course ot his journey, referred to above. An Indian guide bad piloted him across the eaiamoma and Wabash rivers, and alter pay' $2 for tbe service, Mr. Smith says; "I mounted my pony, and striking tbe path. went on at half speed. It was after twi light when I came to a large lake directly in my way. Fearing to go on, I rode out into the woods and encamped for the night The last thing I heard as I fell asleep was an old woll barking within 29 feet of me." Tbe site of this lake ia now partially under cul tivation, and dry roads cross and recross it Two of three ditches would convert it all into the richest cornfield. Bear lake in the adjoining county across the Ohio line, has entirely disappeared, although 40 years ago it was deep enough and sufficiently large to bear op a good sized vessel. Beaver lake, in the northwestern part of Newton county. Ind., until recently was three times its pres ent size, covering the prairies wnere now are rich meadows and fertile fields. So the rivers which find their source in Elkhart Kosciusko, and adjoining counties, have been gradually shrinking until, during eight months in the year, they are hardly worthy tne name. ASEA80K FOB THESE CHANGES. The reason for these changes are obvious. The surface of a forest in its natural con dition." says Dr. Marsh in his "Man and Nature," "can never pour forth such deluges ot water as now from cultivated son. ixa mus, or vegetable mold, is capable of absorb ing almost its own weight of water. The soil of a forest of deciduous foliage is com posed of Humus - to the depth of several inches, sometimes even of feet, and this stratum ia able to imbibe'all tbe water which at any time covers it The lighter plowed soils readily imbibe a great deal of water, yet the grass lands and all the heavy and tenacious earths absorb it In much smaller quantities and less rapidly than the vegeta ble mold oi the forest" it this is true, it follows that as the country becomes cleared and drained, which, until recently, was cov ered with forests, the rainfall and snow are quickly run on into tbe streams, deeper channels in the outlet of lakes are cut and the surface of their waters is correspondingly lowered. Lavergne, the French writer, calls atten tion to the fact that numerous lakes, "which nature had constructed on the flanks of onr Alps," have entirely disappeared since the forrests surrounding them have been destroyed; and an American writer, speaking of tbe lakes of Northern New York and Maine, adds: "When the mountain slopes which supply these baisins shall be stripped of their woods, the augmented swelling of the lakee will deepen their outlets and the valleys will present successions of flab) with rivers running through them, instead of chains ot lakes connected by natural canals." - DISAPPEARANCE Ot INDIANA FORESTS. During the put 30 years tbe forests of our Northern counties have been rapidly disappearing. They were" settled late, but by an active, progressive people who have not been content to till a few acres. triy ana late in summer and winter the ring of the axe has been heard in the woods, and every year tbe increasing yield of wheat and corn itive forests." As a natural consequence, we must expect surprising and frequent changes. Dr. Bushnell, in a sermon on the power of an endless life, says that "not all the winds, and storms, and earthquakes. and seas, and seasons of the world have done so much to revolutionize the earth as man has done since the day he came forth upon it, and received domimo i over it' And to this may be coupled the statement of George P. Marsh, that "the felling of the woods has been attended with - momentus consequences to the drainage of the soil, to the external configuration of its surface. and probably also to local climate; and tbe Importance of human life as a transforming power is. perbapo, more clearly demon strable, in the influence man has thus exerted noon sunerficial geograobv than in any other result of bis material effort When the forest Is gone, tbe great reservoir of moisture stored up in its vegetable mold is evaporated, and returns only in delnges of rain to wash away the parched dust into which that world has been converted. It appears that the overflow of river banks was much less frequent and destructive than at the present day, or, at least that rivers rose and fell less suddenly before man had removed tbe natural checks to the too rapid drainage of the basins In which their tributaries originate. We have now felled forests enough, in many districts far too much." THE NORTHERN LAKES. Whatever might be its influence upon climate, and soil, and people, the drainage of the lakes of Northern Indiana, should such an event occur, would deprive the country of much that beautifies it and take from tbe citizens the source of much pleas ure and profit These basins vary in size from the little pond covering but a few

acres to the more stately lake which bean upon its bosom the steamboat and pleasure yacht Several bave no visible outlets, but nearly all are very clear, with sandy shores and gravelly bottoms. A cluster of them occur in the northern part of Elkhart county, each measuring from a half to three miiee in circumference, and presenting as beautiful a sheet of water as can be found among the hills of New England or the Northwest- They glisten in the sunshine like jewels in an emerald setting. Steuben countv is similar I r fortnnut One of the prettiest in the cluster is called Clear Lake." tbe purity and clearness of Its waters disclosing the pebbly bottom at a depth of 25 or 30 feet Several beautiful groves skirt its shores, affording ample shade to all its visitors. For this reason it is a favorite retreat for picnicers, and families residing in neighboring towns and cities not infrequently camp out on ita banks in preference to visiting the more popular watering places. SUMMER BES0RT8. Borne City, in Noble countv. on the line of the Grand Bapids and Indiana railroad. nas long been a summer resort because of the two lakes in its vicinity. Here are boats of every description and other attractions usually found at such places. Pike and Eagle lakes, about Warsaw, afford similar sport to the people of that city. Turkey lake, in the same county, is one of the largest in the State, being four miles long and from one to two miles broad. It is accessible via the Chicago branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and of late years it has become a very popular resort for anglers. Altogether, the lakes of Kosciusko county cover from 25,000 to 30,000 acres, and give rise to Tippecanoe river and Turkey creek. In the vicinity of the oak oneninea in Marshall county, several lakes are also found, the principal one, Maxinknckee, being nearly as large as Tnrkev lake. It i beautiful sheet of water, abounding in fish, ana onenng rare snort to the measure seeker. Of Beaver lake mention has already been made. It was formerly much the largest body of water in the State, but the construction of a ditch has reduced it at least to one-third its original size. It is still, however, of good dimensions, and in the spring is a favorite resort ot ducks and other specimens of Ihe feathery tribe. THE LONE FISHERMAN. To the lover of solitude manv of these lakes, especially the smaller ones in Steu ben ana JMkhart counties, offer delightful retreats. Thoreau would have been in bis element, tracing their outlets and inlets. measuring their depth, pushing bis boat from lake to lake through the tiny channels which connect tbem, studying tbe plants and grasses that skirt their banks, and Ustirg the fine flavor of --their finny tribes. With few exceptions, these lakes abound in fish, and in season they are easily taken. But not content with the limited supply native to the waters, organizations are be ing formed in several counties for the our pose of stocking tbem from the Government hatcheries. Land locked salmon will ba supplied to Lake Maxinkuckee this spring. and other species as soon as the spawn may uts suippeu witn saiety. A BOTTOMLESS FROO POND. Writing of lakes, reminds me to sneak of a "bottomless frog pond," on the Air Line branch of the Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana road, between Waterloo and Kendalville. This road, exterdine from Toledo to Elkhart, has but a single curve for npward of 70 miles. At several points, locomotive headlights can be seen at night from 20 to 25 miles, and. except for the grades, towns distant eight, 10 and 12 miies from each other would be plainly in sight It was the design of the builders to make a straight short cut from Lake Erie to Lake Michigan, and thus it earned its name of "Air Line." But lying directly in the line of the pro posed road, the surveyors came upon what they took to be an ordinary frog pond, three or four hundred feet in diameter. It was located in a low, marshy plain, with quaggy shores, lined with underbrush and toll, reedy grass. But as the party approached it, half a dozen snakes dragged themselves into the water, and a family of lizards took refuge beneath a decayed log. The water, too, looked black and forbidding, and aa a horseman rode up, the ground about it seemed to tremble as if it were afloat No hlng was thought of it at tbe time, however, and orders were given to fill it up. But gravel and dirt soon went out of sight After several hundred cart loads had been thrown m, enough to fill and hill an ordinary puddle of its size, no trace of it could be found. Then lumber, rafted and riveted together, was sunk with stones. Upon this were piled trees, underbrush, and such other materials as accumulate in clear ing and grading. ' Bnt the capacious maw refused to be filled. The whole pile sunk out of sight and out of reach of poles and sounding lines. Then the thought of a pile bridge occurred, and the long pine logs from Michigan were driven one upon another until an Irish laborer suggested that the road would be sued as a trespasser by the Chinese Government Finally a bottom on the outer edges seemed to have been discovered, and a bridge was constructed, over which several trains were permitted to pass. But one morning, just at daybreak, as the Western bound passenger was driving along at the rate of 40 miles an honr, the engineer missed bridge and track. On reconnoitering, it was discovered that all, like the timber and trees, had sunk out of sight and out of reach. The roadmaster, retiring from the scene, a wiser aud humbler man, ad vised that the road go round wbatitcouldn't go over; and so a short sharp curve, the only one in 70 miles, was made to the south of it . . .- SINKHOLES. This pond, for the want of a better name. is calld a "sinkhole" by the people in the vicinity; but it in no wise resembles the sinkholts which occur in the "barrens" of Harrison, Washington and Orange counties. These openings have the appearance of old and partially filled cellars of various sizes, many of them leading to caverns which have been explored for miles. Nor are tbey ever hlled with water, though often large streams run into them and disappear. Lost river, for instance, after running nearly eight miles under ground, reappears again in the form of a large spring. Boveb, Poisoned with a Postage Stamp. Paris Correspondence London Telegraph. Young ladies who think proper to corre spond with rejected lovers would perhsps do well to take a nint from tne following curious case, which is, however, authentic. Mile. Felicie Maxy, who lives on the farm of Pentecote, on the Belgian frontier, was on the point of being married, when she received a letter from an old suitor asking her to reconsider the matter, and send him an immediate reply. A postage stamp was gallantly inclosed to defray the cost of transmission. The answer duly written. Mile. Maxy applied the stamp to her fair lips; but hardly had she done so when she felt a sharp pain in her tongue, and in less than no tims that interesting member became horribly elongated and inflamed, and covered with noisome sores. The disconsolate one, Alfred Camia by name, a farmer of Picbon, in the Nord, has been arrested; but he declares that ha used no noxious drug, but simply moistened a corner of the stamp with his own lips a delicate way of stealing a kiss. Such is the state of the esse as it stands at present, but the tale carries its own moral.
