Entered as second -class matter at the Postoffice at Indianapolis, Ind. , It is not likely that Dakota will be admitted to the Union very soon, as the bill for its admission is very low down on the calendar. There are in eleven European countries (J0.231 brewers, who in 1S80 manufactured 112,000,000 hectoliters of beer, or 2,401,000,000 gallons. It is 6tated that a million of acres of vines have been destroyed in France by the phylloxera. The land is being prepared for other uses. The prisoners in the Rochester (N. Y.) Jail all escaped the other night, A local paper returns thanks lhat they left the build ing and furniture behind. With only 3 per cent, of the tillable land of the State under cultivation, the approximate value of the agricultural products of Kansas for 1831 is given at $100,000,000. Withi- two days in 18Ö1 it is said that the students of Yale College broke 1,300 panes of glass. Recently the playful collegians seem to be putting in much of the time by smashing each others' heads and bones. The naming of Mr. Conkling to the Supreme Bench fell like a bombshell into the United States Senate, and the fellows that were scared and hurt the worst were Republicans. The Democrats rather enjoyed the matinee. It seems that Guiteau was not allowed to receive th large lot of valentines that were sent to him from all over the country, lie has just found it out, and is said to be very mad about it. It is cruel to keep that "GOT medal from so distinguished a Republican. A Jew that will stay and be hounded to death irr such a country as Russia can not have much of the old energy and "get up" of his ancestors, who wanJered for forty years in the wilderness rather than be subjected to kindred treatment by the Russian prototypes Pharoah fe Co. The recent appointment of Mr. Sargent to be Minister to Berlin, of course, will end the Mk about his going into the Interior Depart ent. The New York Sun remarks that is Secretary of the Interior he could not il to do an immense deal of mischief, vhile as Minister to Berlin he will be comparatively harmless." The Louisville Courier-Journal says: To the first time since the War there is a fixed purpose on the part of Republican leaders to make a trjuare stand up fight in the South." Xot at ail. They contemplate no 'squaie stand-up fight" anywhere. They e entirely incapable of making suci a fight in the North or South, East or West. Mr. Levator Logas and other leading ladies 1 n Washington society have formed a secret association called "Guardian Angels," which intend to exert social inlluence upon Congressmen i n behalf of temperance. There's a wide field 1 or it. .Exchange. "The Guardian Angels'' should begin hovering at the White House, as we understand the President served five different kinds of wine at his first state dinner, which he gave last week. "Sea foam" is what tliey call it in Kansas. The following is from the examination of a witness in the prosecution of the seller: Question. Did this sea foam look like beer? Answer. It dil. li.

I don't know. ing fed tkin interviewed as to the trowitloa receiv i htm from Mr. Tiiaen to become uie candidate er Vice t'renident on the ticket with him in 4. replied: "It is a sensation: that is all." Hcoure It was a sensation: but did be receive . nch a letter? Albany Times. General Palmer says: "I have received no letter from Governor Tilden on that or any other subject I would not for a mo iuent entertain a proposition of that kind. The publications on the subject have been entirely unauthorized and are without a rarticle of foundat on, and I wisii it so etated." W see it stated that Hon. T. R. Cobb, member of Congress from Indiana, has in troduced a bill providing that all silver coin defaced or worn by ordinary use shall b re ceived by the Government and paid for In perfect coin at its original value. Mr. Cobb deserves great credit for introducing the bill. The decision of the mint officials first discrediting worn and defaced coin, and then fixing their value at an amount below their face value was a flagrant outrage upon the people, subjecting them to a loss which the Government ought to bear. Mr. Cobb's bill is timely and just, and ought to pass at once. Mr. Beecher, in a sermon preached last Sunday, confessed that when he was in Kurope that he went to a very naughty place. "When I was in' Paris," said he, "I went to hell. I had heard before I went there of the Jardio. Mabille, a place where couretsans resort, and where strangers from places far away go to look at them. I went there, and saw men that I understood were paid by the government of the place to con duct the frolics for the people, and if ever I aw hell in the form of lust it was in the faces of those men. Men past all shame

were ther, the embodied personifications o:

lust, of all that was corrupt or corrupting, and as I looked I said: 'Can it be that such men can be forgiven? I thick not They are gone too far, for the unpardonable sin is not an act; it is .a etate that permits of no re covery." As the famous garden has been recently sold and its site will soon be occu pied with mercantile buildings, no great harm will accrue from this advertisement which Mr. Beecher gives the notorious French resort. GENERAL, GRANT. For the hundredth, and, possibly, for the five hundredth time. General Grant is again brought prominently before the American people. No man seems to be struegling harder to make money and secure a princely income than this distinguished American citizen. . The United States Senate has passed a bill placing General Grant on the retired list of the Army as Genera!, the highest ofilcer known to the military organ ization, and which will give him threefourths of the pay of a General in active service, amounting, It is said, to about $15, 000 a year.. As a matter of course the bill occasioned some debate in the Senate, and the illustrious (?) citizen was passed Ihrough several thrashins machines, but be got the grab all the same. The bill is characterized by the Pittsburg Tost as an "intolerable sham" and as an "audacious grab." Reference is made by the Post to the fact that "General Grant has greater wealth than any other American President had on retiring from office, with the ossible exception of the Adamses." Jackson was poor. Washington was embarrassed, Jeffer son, Madison and Monroe all died poor men, but they never paraded their poverty before their countrymen, nor stood in the market places as mendicants. The St. Louis GlobeDemocrat thinks the pension to Grant will be money well bestowed if it "keeps him away from Wall street speculators and stock jobbers and away from partisan politics." But just at this juncture, wnile the Senate bill pensioning Grant is pending in the House of Representatives, the New York Tribune gives stecial prominence to the ru mor that the Appomattax hero is mixed up in a business not only of doubtful propriety, but of world-wide baseness. We refer to Peruvian Company. The Tribune, in u issue of the 22J inst., says: "We observe that Mr. Shipherd wrote, on the Tth of October, 1SSI, to Minister Hurlbut: 'The most radical suggestions of policy have the hearty autograph approval of General Grant, who is now one of us.' Mr. Phlpherd wrote again, on Xovem ber 15, lStt: 'I shall consult Grant to-day and he and I may go to Washington Thursday. We shall do what lies la our power to second all the vigor you have o ted in the main issue.' On November :ß, 1W, Mr. Shiphard ajain writes: '1 was in Washingtos last week; had a full talk with the President at Grant's suggestion and on his intro duce an. These are statements of a specific nature concerning a man whose movements the public care for, and really do seem to deserve an explanation. We notice, however, that, since their publication, General Grant has refused to see reporters or say a word on the subject. No doubt he is right In thinking that a card would be more appropriate. We take the greatest pleasure ia placing our columns at his disposal for that purpose." This Peruvian Company busine has brought the American name into odium in every civilized land. Probably nothing more atrocious was ever heard of in diplom acy, and here we have brought out that IT. S. Grant was not only the confidant of the head freebooter, Shipherd, but was actively employed in pushing forward the collosal swindle. General Grant has been called upon by the Tribune and the New York Ierald to make an explanation, but so far ie refuses to be interviewed or to publish a card upon the subject. The probabilities are, therefore, that Grant was in the guano and saltpeter speculation. There is nothing in his character or antecedents upon which his most devoted friends can hang a reason why he should not have been in it. No man of the times, or any other times or country, has shown such an insatiable thirst for money and valuables. He has cultivated the most heroic acquiesc ence in the liberality of his own country men and of the people of all lands that he has visited. He accepts gifts and honors and bribes with unresenting complacence and imperturbable nonchalance; and in that same unconquerable love of lucre will take his $13,000 a year as General on the retired list. If General Grant had any sense of decency, if he were not as impervious to all the proprieties of life as the hide of a rhinosceros is to paper pellets, he would announce to the American people that he has received honors and emoluments enough. But this he will never do as long a3 he hai strength enough to draw his breath, and it Is now in order to note the next move to do something for Grant to keep him out of a Poor House. Ir General Burbridge has any desire whatever to vindicate his 'onah, he now has an opportunity. The papers have it that Gen eral Basil Duke, of Louisville, Ky., in a recent letter used the following "pistol and coffee" langnage: I still believe that be (Burbridge) murdered in cold blood, without trial or any pretext of retalia tion, very many citizens and prisoners of war. 1 believed and still believe that he knew, and his advisers, alders and abettors well knew, that these unfortunates were guiltless of the crime for which they were made to suffer, and that their deaths in no wl.se curbed the conduct of the guerillas: that, moreover, la numerous Instances blood money was demanded and paid, which 3. G. Burbridge shared, and many innocent men Were shot to terrify others into buying their lives. The great majority of the people of Kentucky, irrespective of party, believe these charges, and to talk or write about anything else Is absurd and irrelevant. As a matter of course, General Burbridge will not call General Duke to account. He is not that sort of a man. We lay before our readers this morning the Garfield memorial address, delivered in Washington yesterday by James G. Blaine. It is iu all regards in good taste. It is grand in its simplicity, in its unadorned beauty, and as a eulogy it most be accorded high rank. In no word or sentence does the gifted speaker overstep the boundary of prudence, and from first to last the address commands the attention of the reader." We fail to see how it could have been more gentle and generous. The address touches every incident in the life of the murdered

President, from the date of his birth toais'and is to-day "one of the licaest cities in tie

death, upon which his countrymen care to dwell, and these the speaker has arranged in order, rising by gradations cf importance until, from forest cabia tor the White House, they form a succession of domestic and public pictures upon which the mind loves to dwell, and which memory will delight to cherish. The speaker's allusion to the political events that inline diately preceded Garfield's death could scarcely have been omitted, and if alluded to at all greater delicacy of expression could scarcely have been employed. At any rate, the great mass of the American people will not be offended, whatever may be true of those who may feel the thrust of the speaker's keen-edged and shining blade. Commissioner Racm, in his talk with the Ways and Means Committee upon the subject of reducing internal revenue taxation arrived at the following conclusions: I SfSs c3 , J s f air so H O O 9 5 2 fl n w O O t 3 3 3 Reduction. 'S o c c B33 C.3 3 MOMO V- 7 i Loss to Internal Revenue. rsss Ä ? ft ? Saas 5s t t Hr; s s o e" a. 3 s Reduction.

Loss to Internal Revenue, i It will be seen that the loss to the revenue by taking the lowest rate of reduction on the articles named would be $21,(01,000, and on the highest rate $17,111,000, a difference of $i3.7.r3,000. The other reductions discussed are as follows: Rinks and bankers other than National Banks.. . S:V7G.208 National Banks A.UTJ.ITM ISauk checks 'i;- 11 1 Matches S.27S.-S) Proprietary medicines 2, Total. . 51G.SW.8c0 In other words, there would be a grand total reduction on the lower scale of $.'W, 53,880, or on the higher scale of fil.33G,S80 While it is observed that monopolists and special interests are l'kely to be reiieved of some of the burdens of taxation, the probabilities are that the stupendous iniquities of the present tariff will be permitted to re main without modification. The manufacturers of whisky and beer, of sarsap arilla and other drugs, will be benefited, while the interests of the nia'ses of the people will be disregarded. Banks are to be helped by having their taxes reduced, but the tariff tax upon almost every essential of life is to be retained, or, possibly increased. It is certainly time for the people to wake up and assert their rights. We see it -stated that Rev. Dr. Katon, of Louisville, in a sermon on social inequalities, said that during his residence of a year in that city he had "seen a poor man, with no inllucntial friends, given five years In the Penitentiary for stealing provisions, while a murderer, with powerful connections, was given two years, and 'leading citizens' have signed a petition for his pardon." There is nothing very startling in . what Rev. Dr. Eaton declares nothing peculiar to Louis ville. Reverend gentlemen of almost any city in the United States could make similar statements if required. The law docs not provide for such ''social inequalities." It treats all alike. It names the crime and the penalty; bat it is true, nevertheless, that thieves who are without money pay heavy penalties, while murderers with money and social position too frequently escape or are treated with great leniency. GENERAL NOTES. Princ e Leopold's marriage will be celebrated beetween April 26 and May 3. Mcxkacsy's noted painting, "Christ Before Pilate," has been purchased by the French Government.

' The New Haven Journal says that oue of the most regular attendants at the Lyman Beecher lectures, in the Yalo Theological School, is the venerable Rev.

A Swiss correspondent teli hoy an agile and adroit band of canine smugglers have been skillfully trained to perform dishonest work for their owners between Chiasso, in Switzerland, and Como, In Italy. They arrive at about noon in the former place by train and are at once taken to a certain bouse, where, at nightfall, they are laden with contraband goods. The lighter articles arc 6trung around their necks; the heavier are strapped safely on their backi , and thus, as soon as it is perfectly dark, they are led farth aud started on the southeast side of theton. From this point they make their way over hill and dale across the Swiss frontier into Italy and run on to Como, where they take refuge in some empty houses to which they have been accustomed to go. There the contraland goods are unpacked and the dot;j are to-n afterward dispatched again by train to Chiasso. The distance traversed by these quadrupeds Is not great, but their px:uliar excellence is the sagacity with which they elude the Custom House officials lylnz in wait for them. A Governor, an ex-Governor, two Generals, an editor, a clergyman, a banker, and a merchat t were the pall-bearers at the funeral of Margaret Haughery, in New Orleans. Numerous Societies were officially represented In the procc.sIou, which w as honored in various wsyi on its route from the Church to the grave, even the brokers quitting the Stock Exchange to stand nncovered on the sidewalk as it passed. x Mrs. Haughery was of humble origin, uneducated, and had boasted of never wearing a silk dress or a kid glove: but she was famous and beloved as a friend of the poor children of Louisiana. Many years ago she nursed a dying man. He had a little property, whlth he left to her for charity. She bought with

this money a cheap eating house and bakery on tha liver front, and sold wholesome food to steam -

boat laborers at a little more than cost. "Sh ... ... . to keep them from spending a quarter for whisky," says the account,"and they took the roll and coffee, and then spent twenty cents for whlfky all the same."
