And these varied exercises bring on the most perfect physical development to be met with in the human pvsteru. It also hardens the bones, giving "vjem a solid and healthy structure; gives a f-ool apatite, and promote active and healthy digestion, which prepares an abundance of nourishment for all the organs of -the body. And of course develops a healthy :md ( 11-h.ilanced brain. In his farm exercises the boy never has a ingle mental faculty over-stimulated never over-worked and vet none are entire! v neg lected. There is enough to think alt, to interest and keep alive every organ of mind, and hence build up a good mental capacity; then, after lie has been through these rustic rudiments, if yon will allow the expression, ha-wtay.' wben he is old enough, if it is so desired, aided by a strong physical oranizaiion and a healthy and well developed brain, walk on and easily into a high education. One of our best educational writers says the young man of eighteen, who has had four year of active practical experience on a farm with a good farmer, stands a far better chance of complete success in life than "the one who has just graduated at the best University tn the land, but has bad no such portunities for a proper training of he hysical system. lie has, it is true.eduand trained his mental the entire neglect of his ated, developed, sulties, but to ysical nature.

But from this do not take it that I tinder-value or would neglect early educa tion; far from It.

'A Gigantic Corn Sogar Factory. The Chicago Sugar Refining Company are building a factory to convert 25,000 bushels of corn into Sugar a day. or something like 8.000.000 bushels a'year. The.buildings cover 320, (WO square feet, and are expected to cost 11,500,000.' The sugar house is 1G0 feet square, with eleven stories and basement, or 140 feet high. It is to be of wood and brick, containing 4,000,000 bricks. It will be supKvr.;r.rv niora it masnnrv. resting on piles," each pier carrying about 400 tons.

This Kniilintr i fi rfr"fiOf fine, built of brick. iron columns, wrought irort floor beams, with brick arcn noors. its twemy-iuur picia carry 500 tons each, or 12,000 tons. There are 2,500 forty-foot piles driven fifty feet be low the surlace. The next building is a corn house, sixty A three stories high, with ma chinery in it to empty the cars automatic ally. The next is a boiler house, 75 by 100 feet in size, three stories and basement, with a coal bin suspended above the boilers to feed them automatically with coal. The boilers have a capacity of 7.000 horse power. There are twenty of these known as tne Dabcock t Wilcox section boilers. The chimney for the house is 240 feet high, with a twelve foot inside flue. The base is forty feet square. t Between the boiler-house and the chimnev is an "economizer," that the waste gases of the boilers pass through on the way to the chimney. Ky this means the heat is utilized by pumping the feed waters of the boiler through this economizer. .The works will commence with 12,090 bushels of corn per day, which will soon increase to 25,000 per day. The corn can be received by car or vessel, and the goods likewise shippsd. " The company win manufacture an Kinaa of starch for laundry and culinary purposes, sirup and grape sugar. Paria Green and the Potato Deetle. Faris green has become as much a part of the stock of necessaries on a farm aa'any other useful article. Since the advent in the East of the potato bug, as it is commonly called, every one who grows potatoes must handle paris green. There are two general methrida of application the mixlnsr of the poison by some with Hour, and by others with plaster.: hither of the mix tures will answer, but plaster is preferable,' It is not the purpose here to give any details as to the application of paris green, but rather to call attention to a fact that is overlooked regarding the benefit the potato-bug has conferred on farmers. It is true the bugs keep us busy and annoy us very much; but, in order to save our crops, we must apply paris green, and this application demands pbster. Now. plaster itself is one of the best assistants to the growth of jotatoes that is known, as it contains pure-lime, which is soluable to a certain extent. It is a compound of sulphuric acid and lime, and as lime is one of the chief ingredients in the composi tion that makes up the growth of potatoes the application- of paris green is also a process of manuring. - It is generally acknowledged that potatoes are easier pro duced now than formerly, and a great many of our iarmers have not considered the cause, which lies in the fact that while farmers are often enterprising in some mat ters, a large majority of them are slow at practicing those things which are suggested to them by the farm journals. In vain has plaster been recommended as ä very good fertilizer for potatoes, and dilatory have been the efforts of farmers in experimenting with its use until at last, as a dilutant to paris green, it has been applied to the potato crop w ith excellent results, which, however, was involuntary, as the plaster was applied not for beneficial purposes, but to save us from the enemy. The small proportion of paris green used is harmless, as it is distributed over large surfaces, but in order to go over a large field a considerable amount of plaster must be used, and it does not require a very large amount of plaster to show beneficial results. Ordinary lime is applied in quantities ranging from ten to forty bushels to theacre, and it is even then slow in its action on some soils, but a quantity of plaster as small as one bushel to the acre at once makes known its presence by the beautiful color imarted to the growing plant. It absorbs and retains more or less moisture, and ad(? food in a soluable, ready condition for assimilation by the action of the roots. The yield of ; potatoes will vary on any field according to the amount of plaster used, and the very best of our ordinary fertilizers is a mixture of one part plaster to two of wood ashes. The beetle must be destroyed or the crop will be a failure, and Hour is too expensive for a large crop, l'he cheapness of plaster gives it the preference. Even flour is a fertilizer, but plaster is a special part of a formula for potato fertilizers. While we are now regarding the beetle as a terrible pest and scourge, we should also credit him with the good yield of potatoes resulting from the free vise of plaster, and while nature may seemingly err in some of her dispensations, Ve are not able to deny that even that which we consider a curse is com el ling us to adopt that which we might otherwise reject. J. Farm ami Workshop Notes. Moderately broad wheels are preferable to narrow tires for use on heavy wagons. The practice of sending lire fowls to purchasers or to market by express has grown to a very great extent. It is estimated that the total production of wool in the United States for the year 1SS0 was 200,000,000 pounds, an increase of 32,000,000 over the clip of 1878. Recent shipments of honey from California to Ureat Britain have been received with great favor. An English order recently received calls for 58.000 pound cans. The three important requisitions in making a cranberry plantation are a peat bog, or swamp, adjacent sand or gravel banks, and capacity for tlowage at the convenience of the owner. To care for the comfort and health of horses should be the first thing to be considered when building or repairing a horse stable. Pure air and sufficient light should be given in all stables when possible. One of the reasons why we earth up potatoes is to cover those tubers which grow near the surface. Some kinds throw out the tubers much lower than others. Tubers exposed to the weather are spoiled for all purposes of cooking, although as seed they are not at all injured. It is reported that the largest hog in the country is a Poland China, four years old this spring, lately on exhibition at Junction City, Kansas. His length is seven feet; girth of neck, six and a half feet; girth of chest, seven and a half feet; girth of centre, eigth feet; width across the hip, thirty inches, and weight, 1,532 pounds. A machine has been recently patented designed for threading bolts and tapping nuts, and so constructed that when one tap or die is forced forward to do its work another die or tap will be withdrawn. The machine thus works continuously, and no time is lost in withdrawing the die or tan.

A French electrician has devised an ingenious electrial low-water signal for steam boilers, which indicates the existing water level at any distance from the generator.

and when the water has sunk below a cer tain point rings a signal bell, while at the same time the sign "iow water" appears on the indicating tablet. The manufacture of thread from wood; for sewing and crochet purposes, is found so far practicable that an establishment for the industry has been started near the town of Norkooine. in the middle of Sweden. The system pursued is to wind the thread in balls by machinery, eitner by nand or steam, which, with the labelling, takes one minute twelve seconds per ball. Cast-iron is used, even in wroueht-iron boilers for grate bars, ash pans, furnace doors, uptake doors, man-hole plates, handhole plates, valve chambers, steam pipe, feed pipe, blow pipe and dry pipe. Being ynyielding, it is not well adapted for apparatus liable to sudden changes from expansion by changes of temperature. It can not be patched or mended as wrought-iron can. This ability to be mended is on of the chief advantages of wrought-iron for boiler work. For a filler for porous hard woods ase boiled oil and corn starch stirred into a very thick paste. Add a little japan and reduce with turpentine. Add no color for light ash. For dark ash and chestnut, use a little raw sienna; for walnut, burnt umber and a slight amount of Venetian red; for bay wood, burnt sienna. In no case use more color than is required to overcome the white appearance of the starch, unless you wish to stain the wood. This filler is worked with brush and rags in the usual manner. During the last season the Kansas State Agricultural College kept an exact account of the cost of raising corn, winter wheat, oats and millet, and gives the following as the result: Gorn, 22 acres produced 47 bushels per acre, at a cost of 14 cents per bushel; wheat, 17 acres produced 15 bushels per acre, costing about 54 cents per bushel. According to this statement it costs more to cultivate an acre of wheat than an acre of corn; 47 bushels of corn at 14 cents per bushel aggregates $0.58, which represents the cost of cultivating an acre of corn, while 17 bushels of wheat, at a cost of 54 cents per bushel, amounts to $9.18. the total cost of cultivating an acre of wheat. Oats, 16 acres, yielding 2) bushels per acre, costs 23 cents per bushel, or a cost of $1.C0 per acre. It would apiear from this that it costs just about double to cultivate an acre of wheat that it does for an acre of oats. Mr. Garfield by the Sad Sea Waves. A Long Branch special to the New York Herald says: The quiet and repose which the President seugnt in coming to Long Branch he has ceitaiuly found at the Elberon Hotel. Since his arrival here on Saturday evening he has not left his quarters for more than a couple of hours, except to attend Church on Sunday. The politicians have left him Severely alone, and the only sound that comes to Mm is the roar of tte ocean as it breaks on the beach a few hundred feet away from his windows. This is infinitely sweeter than the roar of the Ohio politicians clamoring for office in the Executive Mansion. 1 hve said that with the exception of the Church business he has been out of bis rooms for only a few hours. These have been stolen from the night. When the hotel was closed last evening and the pleasant, breezy verauGas were deserted the President took a quiet stroll down the bluffs, accompanied by Colonel ttoclcwell, and listened to the munnuriugs of the "sad seawaves." It must nave been a relief. What they whispered to him no one of course can tell. They may have conveyed mesare from Albany, or from Charley Foster, who, according to all accounts, is not iu a particularly comfortable position at this time. Probably they fang him a Stalwart song. The notice which the organs have served on the political mob that their attendance would be couidered an intrusion seems to have had the desired effect so far as their presence, or rather their absence, is concerned. Not a solitary half-breed has put in an appearance, aud the bouncing. bounding Davenport, who at least was expected down to-day. did not arrive. The Lone Branch cottagers, who woula, of course, be glad to honor the President in every possible way, have resuecteJ his wishes to be let a.one, and remained away with remarkable unanimity. Probably they are overdoing tne tmux, tor the situation is positively dull.

When Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll was in Virginia City, Nevada, recently, a number of reporters invited him to join a party " " ich was to ex 'lore the lower levels of Oplur mine. Ingersoll innocently agreed to go along, not suspecting tnat the wags projK)?ed to show him the salutary eileet of intense heat. The wonders of the Comstock were visited in turn and directly Ingersoll found himself alone with a guide who?e ability to withstand heat had tiven him local notoriety. While the two were thus standing a miner rushed out of a drift to the right. "Where are you going?'' asked In gersol. "To h I, to cool off," was the reply, "Let's get out of here by another drift," said the lecturer to the guide, and the latter smiled pleasant!', for Ingersoll had fallen into the trap set for him. They went into the drift on the left, which was abandoned, and into which poured streams of air so hot that few miners could bear it. When Inger soll returned to the party he was shirtless. drenched with ierspiration and scarcelyable to walk. When he recovered breath he said to Mrs. Ingersoll: "1 have been to place hotter than ."

Three elderly gentlemen got up to leave, and did leave, notwithstanding Gus explained that present company was excepted, and that he never suspected them of induencing their age. Garfield.

MOßlUX THE 3IAS0N. '

Thnrlorr Weed Doubts That the Hones of Morgan HaTe Been Found The Story of the Blurder as Told Hirn ky Od mf the Participants. ISpecial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.l New Yobk, June 22. It is quite probable that the bones reported to have been found yesterday at Tenibroke, near Batavia, N. Y.f may not be those of William Morgan, as was supposed, and the place of his sepulchre Is likely to remain as much a mystery as ever. Thurlow Weed is unquestionably more familiar with the facts of the abduction of Morgan than any other person living. He said to-day to a Times reporter: "The mere fact that with the remains was found a ring bearing the initials 'W. M. goes for nothing. There may have been 10,000 people whose initials are W. M But I can not account for the fact that a paper should be found near the body with the name of Henry Brown. Henry Brown was interested in the case, lie was a lawyer and alterward pub lished a book giving an account of MORGANS DISAPrEABANCE. I knew Brown very well, and what is said about him is all true. It is very extraordinär that his name should be found. I did not know Morgan, though I have seen him. He wrote part of his book in Rochester, and he lived in tliat city at that time. The proposition to publish the book was first made to me while ne was writing it, but I thought a man who had taken an oath to keep a secret ought to keen it, and 1 declined to touch it. Alter the disappear ance of Morgan and his manuscript," Mr. eed continued, "an Investigating Committee was appointed, and they worked for months and months. The Committee learned beyond a doubt that MORGAN WAS TAKEX OCT OF TUE JAIL at Canandalgua, where be had been Imprisoned on some trilling charge, taken to Niagara Falls and put in the fort or magazine and kept there for several days. The fort contained no soldiers, but was under charge of a watchman. The object of this was to send him through the Canada fur country up to the extreme Northwest, to get him away from Miller and the others whom he influenced to publish his book. The Canadian Mason were to have done part of the work, but, after holding one or two meetings, they refused to have anything to do with the case, and Morgan was left on the hands of his abductors. This will give vou some clue as to who the abductors were. There was a celebration of Knights Templar at Lewiston, followed by a supper. Tnere may have been some wine at the supper, and perhaps the participants were undulv excited. Colonel William King, who was in the party, took four other men with him in a close carriage to Canandaigua, TOOK MORGAN TO . LAKE ONTARIO, AND CROWNED HIM. They took him out in a small boat, attached weights to him, . and dropped him overboard. That is believed to be true, as ascertained by the Investigating Committee. Now come, the extraordinary scene of the finding of the body, and the two women each saying that the body was that of her husband. About a year after Morgan was drowned a body was found on the shore of Lake Ontario. " An inquest was held, and Mrs. Morgan and others declared the body to be that of William Morgan. Six years after this," Mr. Weed continued, "after I had moved from Rochester to Albany, I was sued for lible for publishing a statement in connection with this very subject. I had charged General Gould with furnishing the money TO CARRY OCT TUI8 PLOT. John Whitney, the man who received the money from Gould, was one of my witnesses, so I had no fear of the result. But when the plaintiff's lawyer found I was prepared to prove all I had" charged, they shut out my testimony by getting a decision requiring me to prove not only that General Gould furnished the money, but that he furnished it with a guilty knowledge of the illegal purose for which it was to be ued. Under the circumstances, of course, the verdict was against nie. In the evening of that day, 1 invited Barton and John Whiteny to eat an oyster super with me in my house. We were all old acquaintances and had asocial time. Afiersui per, while we were talking about Morgan' ilis:ipi etance. Barton sud denly said o Whitney, John Whitney, why don't you make A CLEAN BREAST Or IT? You could tell all about it if you would.' After some hesitation Whitnev told the whole story. He told us how Morgan had been taken to Fort Niagara, and how he had been taken on the lake and drowned with heavy weights attached to him. He had not slept comfortably, he said, for six years. The Sheriff was always after him ia his dreams. .When he had told his story and given us all the particulars, Barton said to him: 'John, I suppose you know we can hang you now?' 'Yes,' Whitney replied, 'vou can, but you won't.' Barton and my self considered the confession entirely confidential, and TI .I STOBT WAS NEVEB TOLD." Mr. Weed paused for a few moments to collect his thoughts. At length be went on: "In 1&J0, tenty-seveii years afterward, I was in Chicago attending the National Convention that first nominated Lincoln. Whitney was then living in Chicago, and he went to my hotel to bay that lie wanted me to write out what he had revealed to me iu Albany, and put it in a sealed envelope. If he died first tne statement was then to be given to the public If I died first the package was to be so left that on his death the seal would be broken and THE CONTENTS DIVULOED. told him that I would do this, but that I was then very busy. 1 was working in the interests of tSeward, and the nomination of Lincoln was a great disappointment V) me. In the excitement I forgot all about Whitnej', and was iu.-t going awav when I met him. Heseemed disappointed that the letter had not been written, and 1 told him that 1 would meet him again. It was only a short time after that that the Rebellion brokeout. and I was sent to Europe,with the statement still unwritten. While I was iu London I wrote to Whitney, telling him to go to Alexander B. Williams, a confidential friend of mine ill Chicago, and show him my letter, and HE WOCLD WRITE OUT THE STATEMENT. When I came home my letter waj lying on the table, having leen returned to me through the Den I Letter Office. It had reached Chicago after Whitney died, so it happened that the confession was never put in writing. This st.iy f the liuding of the body near Batavia," Mr. Weed concluded, "contradicts all the evidence that the body wa- taken to Fort Nis rnra by John Whitnev ami Burrit Smith. This evidence has tood uncontradicted fo m toy years. Morgan was taken out. of the t 'aiiaiidaigu.t Jail at 9 o'clock in the evening und taken to Kochester, where there was a relay of horses. The carriages were chmged there m a quiet place, and Colonel Jewitt furnishea another change of horses at Clarkson. Another change was made further west. It is a long distance from the lake to Pembroke, at least a long distance to carry a body surreptitiously. Why it should have been done I can not see. But if there were any writing" from Henry Brown found about this body that fact will add great weight to the statement, and make a new complication in an already much complicated case.' UNDOUBTEDLY BOO US. A. dispatch to the Times from Batavia to

night apparently settles the question as to the genuineness of Morgan's bones. Upon more thorough inquiries, to-day, Dr. J. IL Coates, who inspected the remains, said that, while they belonged to a human being, they are too small for a full-grown man. Mr. Mix being cloely questioned, reiterated the statement that, in his belief, the remains belonged to Norgan, bat subsejuently admitted that neither the ring nor the manuscript was found. This admission of Surveyor Mix, relative to the articles which formed the basis of belief that the bwies werethe anti-Mason's, leads to the conclusion thai the story was concocted in an imaginative brain. ikoquois victory;

The Kantian Pros Opinions of the First Aiwerican Derby. The London papers of June 2 really contain very little matter with regard for the race for the Derky that can be called new or Interesting. Of the scene on the road the Standard says: It is no ase hiding longer from ourselves that the gkry of the Derby has van ished from us, net in one sense merely. Not only does the foreigner take the prize; but the best of our own people in whom interest is felt have deserted the carnivaL The royal house, it is trae, was represented on the course yesterday, but there was no royal carriage on the road. Even the haute bourgeoisie has- abandoned that spectacle oi which it was once so fond. To the shrewd observer who can recollect another state c4 tilings this-change is amusing. For it was always an article of faith that the Hun of the road' lay in observing those very antics anüabsurditiw which are now declared, with justice, to be weariscme. They are all extant still and more conspicuous, if not more original, than in brighter times. But the 'world' no longer cares to enjoy them, although the hunturists and the jokers muster in at least as great force as ever, and the admiring crowds of their own sort have not sensibly diminished. It is not true at all that the Derby is- less frequented than of yore. There are as many people certainly as in the best times, But they are of a different class. When once, for whatever reason, it ceased to be 'the thing' to drive to Epsom, when the ioviatty of the populace was declared tiresom little remained to at tract society. The road has no charm which could not be equaled by the most common place of English scenery anywhere. What has been said of the road applies naturally to the course. JCo longer does the occupant of a carriage hope to see several acquaintances within his- aange. The vehicles are mixed, both as regards nationality and cla. But, w ith all drawbacks, the hill at Epsoni is a place as pleasant to spend an afternoon upon as will be found near London that is, upon the Derby Day. No lesson of the mor alist could be more effective than the sight of it on Thursday, littered with straw and empty bottles, and innumerable odds and ends, 11 uttering with tons of dirty paper, and bearing ugly witness from this sad mother earth to the radiant morning sky of the dull dissipation! that fulfills tne Londoner's ideal of a popular holiday." The Globe says: u&)m years ago it was thought a good ioke to suggest going to the Derby on a bicycle. Yesterday the journey was accomplished in a balloon, three gentlemen going up at the Crystal Palace and descending on the Downs in good time to see the race." The Daily News tells how the Princess of Wales gave the superstitious "tip" that did not prove the "straight tip," as follows: "The Grand Ftand gradually fills, and at last, amid a burjs of acclamation, the l'rince and Princess Wales enter the roval box. accompanied by the Princess Louise (Marcmoness of Lome), the Dune and Duchess of Connaught and l'rince Edward of 8axeWeimar. The dress worn by the Princess of Wales at once attracts the attention of those utterly lost gamblers who look for signs and portents and read indications of roulette in the numbers given for their hats and coats. A beautiful bonnet of pink and crimson roses surmounts a gown of blue and white spots 'biid's-eye r-pots,' the colors of Mr. Kcene, the owner of Don Fulano, the third in the Guineas. It is t ue that sharp eyes can detect a difference. The gown worn by the Princess is of blue ground with white spots, while Mr. Keene's color is n white ground with blue spots sprinkled upon it. But enthusiastic backers t f horses 'take the tip' nevertheless, and it is curious to see how Don Fulano is fancied, albeit one sportsman notes that his colors are those of the Princess 'reversed.'" Of Iroquis's rider just before the race the l elegrapli s correspondent reports theinci dent: "In the weighing-room Cannon, Goater and Webb we:e sitting together near Archer, the quartet having duly weighed Said Webb: 'Let's get to the paddock; we'll go the back way.' Cannon and Ooater followed suit, but Archer retorted: 'No. not the back wey on the Derby Day; I shall go through the saddling lnclosure And tho;igli nearly las-t out he was the first to return. amidst the tremendous cheering of the pop ulace. The turf reporters varied as remarkably in their news of Iroquois' condition as in their views of the character of his victory. The Post says: "Iroquois was pronounced light and overdone by the few critics that de voted a passing glance at him as he walked about comparatively neglected. 8 far as looks went, Peregrine's commanding aj pearance entitled him to be pronounced 'a -king amongst the beggars,' as he headed the parade past the stand; whilst nothing went better, if so well, in the preparatory canter as Iroquois. It was not surprising, therefore, that when the 'Archer money,' coupled with the large investments of his countrymen, came into the market at the last moment Iroquois advanced to a shorter price than had previously been taken about him." The Standard says: "In the saddling inclosure Peregrine was of course the first animal looked after, and when he could be seen it was noticed that the son of Pero Gomez had made a deal of improvement since winning the Two Thousand, and he looked wonderfully well, having been trained to the hour. Iroquois, always a light horse, was simply in the pink of condition; and all the work and trials he ha been through since the Guineas had not affected thejson of Leamington in the least. There was no incident in the canter, but curiously enough Scobell and Peregrine, who led the way, were most liked, until Iroquois, who brought up the rear, came sweeping down the hill, and those who saw the American were satisfied he would do better than in the 2,000 Guineas."

There they lived and bred until now, it is said, they roam the lower Gila plains in large numbers, giving the Louisiana Citiren ground for the belief that they "will continue to increase in numbers until a drove of wild camels will become as common on the Western plains of Arizona as buffalo now are on the plains east of the Rocky Mountains."

Senator Toorhees Talks Upon the Sub jectDoes Not BelieTe Such a Larr CouM Ve Enforced. Believes it Would be Unconstitutional, and Thinks tKe Best Temperance Workers are Kdivcatloo aad the General Improvement of th People. fTerre Baute Express, June 2L In talking jesterday afternoon with an Express reporter, Senator Voorhees expressed himself as follows oa the subject of the proposed prohibitory amendment to the Constitution of Indiasac No good will come f tbe present prohibition movement in Indiana. It will not only utterly feil, but It will do positive harm. It alms at an aDsoIute impossibility. All goo people believe In temperance, whiclu means moderation, not prohibition; and the history of the human race does not furnish a single instanee where a civi lized government has totally abolished the manufastureor use of malt, vinous, or spirituous liquors. Such measures have been attempted but have always failed. Public opinion is the suprese law of tbe world, and it the acts ot your Legislature, or the provijons of yeur Constitution are not respected by public opinion they will fall lifeless to the ground. Kansas, I believe has adopted as a part of- her Constitution a provision similar to that proposed to the Constiiu no a oi iiiuiaua on lue suojevtoi proniDiuou. It is a dead letter. I see tha'.i Juries oomriosed of the best citizens refuse to euforce it in the Court. and the manufacturers and dealers are preparing to go on with their business as if no such prohibitory clause was in their Constitution. This is an unwholesome state of things, for it more or less demoralizes a community to have laws which they will not execute. The fault, however, in this- instance, la in the law itself. It goes beyond the sound judgment of the people. I remember very well what was caUed the Maine law of l.V5 in this State. The Courts and Juries would not convict under it when its violation was proven beyond question. It will be so again If prohibition is adopted in Indiana. We wdl have a provision in our Constitution which will not be obeyed or enforced. I want to see nothing of that kiniL. Question Do you think such Trovision in a State Constitution would tie in harmony with the Constitution of the United States?. Answer I do not. In my opinion a State has no power to con fiscate the proterty of its citizens who are eneaeed in lawful traue; neither can the Federal Government do so. The manufacturers of malt, vinous and spirituous liquors pay an immense revenue tor toe support oi tne government, ana in return they receive, and are entitled to receive, its full and complete protection. There is paid in the city of Terre Haute alone by the distillers and brewers over SJ.ütw.OOO per annum to the Government of the United Bta ea. In order to do this these manufacturers have made large investments and purchased extensive and valuable property, real and personal. The adoption of the proposed prohibitory amendment to the Constitution of ludiana will confiscate all such property, or nearly so, and destroy millions, now as much under the protection of law as any other species of property. In my judement the Courts will not sustain such a measure. Question What are your views in regard to submittitting the prohibitory amendments to a vote of the people? A.-If the measure is unconstitutional, as 1 believe it to be. and destructive of private, vested rights, lean see no u.-e in (ha avtiinrn .1 i (wMililA vf BiiKmithnir It t a popular vote. Of course I appreciate the argu-1 ment inai everytning can i3 saieiy submittea to the people, but why should a measure of injustice and manifest violation of the Constitution be made an issue at an election? If the people should, ander excitement and misapprehension vote it, all their labor and trouble would avail nothing. The Courts would undo it all. Queulon In what way do you think the cause of temperance can be best promoted? A. By education and the general improvement of the people. Nothing was ever accomplished by sumptuary law-. You can not prescribe by legislation what a man shall eat or drink. You may regulate the tratlic in liquors and keep the business in prudent and responsible hands, but beyond this legislation will fail. Her Head Was Level. It was announced in the leading journals of Paris a few months aco that the only daughter and heiress of a Lowell (Mass.) millionaire was soon to marry one of the Bourbons, a cousin of Don Carlos, of Spain. IJut the marriage never occurred, because the Yankee girl wouldn't invest. The Prince called every day last winter at the hotel where the young woman resided. In the words of the Paris correspondent of the Pan Francisco Chronicle: "Fancy the noble scion of the very illustrious and thrice pnissant House of Bourbons going on Iiis knees to 2.000,000 worth ot sarsapanlla'. But I may have overdrawn the picture. It is. not certain that the noble Prince actually went upon ins marrow bones in propria persona. He did that by proxy. Though he paid court assiduously and daily in person, the Prince sent a foruiul demand, or, to sieak exactly, several demands bv his chamberlain. For, though a Prince may have no cash, as long as lie can borrow money he keeps up a petty court, and of course must have his chamberlain. On one occasion, w lien his deputy came to ask the hand of Miss in marriage, or rather to inform that young lady that his Highness the Prince A de ikmrbon troposedto confer upon her,, a. pia"v untitled Amen can, the honor of his name and high sounding title, Miss quite peremp torily refused the honor, whereupon the chamberlain exilainueO: "Do you say vou refuse him! His Highness the Prince is not a personage who can be refused. Oh. no! 'Tis imiKi.Hsiblc. Put it in some other form. I beg of you. Say you are unable to accept of the honor ottered you. Anything Hut a refusal! The Prince is not an ordinar"man to be rejected in this manner!' Notwith standing the fervid eloquence ot the chamberlain, the ih' of the ankee girl was positive. 'Tell your master,' she said to the deputy, 'that I don't want titles half as badly as he wants cash.' " One "Wvnkan Kills Another. A Danville (Ya.) special of June 19 says: In the immediate vicinity of the "Dry Bridge," on the Richmond and Danville Railroad, about four miles from this city by rail, there la a settlement, the reputation of whose inhabitants is by no means savory. Among these ia Mrs. Harris, a white woman. She has a daughter named Mamie, who says she is just sixteen years old and appears to be about thirteen. Near by the house of Mrs. Harris live a lot of negroes, and. among them one woman named Ruth Uwynne, the mother of two small children. Between this girl, Mamie Harris, aud the woman Ruth (jwynne, ther occurred a fracas yesterday morning which resulted in the death of the latter at the hands of the former. The white girl cut the woman's throat with a pocket-knife, severing the jugular vein and producing death in about ten minutes. When arraigned the girl wore an air of the greatest intrepidity and was perfectly calm and self-possessed. During the whole examination she at without the tremor of mucle or the quivering of a nerve. Bhs is more than ordinary good looking, has what are called gray "magnetic" eyes, regular features, fine forehead, handsome mouth and hair between chestnut and auburn in color. From the evidence it appears that the dirLculty originated several days since, and on that occasion resulted fu an assault upon the accused by the deceased. They were separated, but the deceased declared then tnat she would kill the aceused. On Thursday Mrs. Harris and her daughter were going up the railroad to the woods to gather fuel, and when a short distance this side of the dry bridge they met the deceased, accatnnanfed by BetUe Thorpe, her sister, and Jane Mitchell. Charles Thorpe saw the while ej;l running from, the colored woman, and saw the latter throw a roek at the former which struck her on the back of the head. The colored worran than raa and overtook the white girl, whothereupon turned upon her and commenced uilig a knife. Both the colored woman and te white girl started for home, but the deceased had walkwd only about two hundred yards ii that direction when she tell dead. The Coroner's verdict was to the eQvt that the deceased rus to her dath by a knife wound inflicted by tie prisoner, and subsequently she was committed to the County Jail.
