THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAX FEBItUAltY 21, 1883.

WEDNESDAY, FEBÜARY 21.

Thb European crops look very toor. W.n.VAHDEiBiLt sent ia his check yes terday for $2,500 for the flood sufferers. Th case of Benator Ferry, in Michigan, hopeless. He is defeated and has retired. is Thi number of. inaane persons, Idiots, fclind and deaf mates in 1SS0 was 251,93. IaiLAiro is still trying to get along on nothing to eat. It is a terrible experience. Sikc 1852 forty-two different liquor-regu latinz acts hare passed the legislature of Maine. The Omaha Republican says that N r.nuV ha tried hieb, license and found it to be the best thing yet offered. Aw Iowa editor has been asked by a cor respondent for an answer to the question, "Da hogs pay?" Looking over his subscrip tion list, he finds they do not The United States Supreme Court has de cided that the Alabama law forbidding the marriage of white to black persons is con stitutional, as it punishes both alike. The United States made last year 4 .023,323 tons Ö pig-iron, almost 500,000 more than ever made in one year in this country. The stock untold by the manufacturers at t he close of 1832 was 333,655 tons. President Akthcb has given John Sher man to understand that he has no influence at the White House. John Sherman's brogans made a deep impression on Mr. Ar thur's mind, though the kicks were not lodged in a region supposed to be in close proximity to his brains. How many puolic men are there to-day that would follow the example of Abraham Lincoln, who, when telegraphed by a member of the Chicago Convention that his Domi nation for the Presidency depended on oh taining two delegations, wired back: " authorize no bargains, and will be bound by none.' Senator Terry will disappear from the Senate of the United States in a condition not entirely dissimilar from that secured by ex-Senator Dorsey. The fun of the thing is in the fact that Jay Hubbell killed him, and thus it goes " That big fleas have little fleas Oa their back to otte 'em." The London Times says that the adulter ation of brandy by the French is "most lamentable." There is no longer any real brandy to be had the article thus labeled being distillations cf potatoes, beets, or anytiling that will make alcohol- It is indeed lamentable! o more gocd liquor! All England is in monrning! Kextuckt is in a position to test the liberality of her people to the utmost With an Ohio and Mississippi River front of about 1,000 miles and numerous riyers within her border demanding attention, the State has a remarkably fine opportunity to exhibit that argeness of soul for which she always puts forth claims without a sign of bashfuiness or hesitancy. Thb people of Nebraska are the hmmt eduClted of any in the world, only 3 5-10 per cent, of the white population being illiterate. Iowa stands next, with only 3 8-10 per cent, illiterate. This is a showing of which those young States may justly feel proud. The most Illiterate white population in the Union is in Tennessee, 33 7-10. The most illiterate colored population is in Georgia, 0 per cent. Thk French have a law which denies the right of any one to caricature another, that is, making a ridicule J s picture of a person and the public exhibit! nrf the tame. The French idea is that a uan'i features are his own, and no one has a riht to c:py them, either for the purpose of nicking ttem ridiculous or otherwise. If the people of the United States should adopt the French view of the subject and enact something like the French law, a number o! enterprising journals would be seriously embarrassed. Mr. Jay Gocld has recently been interviewed by a New York Times reporter. A number of statements made by the great millionaire may be regarded as important by eome people. Mr. Gould is buildiog a yacht, 230 feet long, which will accommo date twenty persons besides the crew, and is expected io have a speed of sixteen to eighteen miles an hour. About the 1st of July, 1333, Mr. Gould, with all of his family, will embark on board his yacht for a trip around the world. He expects to be absent two years. He will fix things so they will run smoothly while he is gone. His purpose is "play," of which he had lit tle when a boy, and less of it since he came to man's estate. He will have nothing to do .with business while pursuing his journey ings. He will spend his first winter in the Mediterranean and the second in India, Mr. Gould wants to see "all the countries of ancient civilization" he has a fondness for antiquities. As a matter of course he will do the Holy Land and China, but will not penetrate the interior of 'Africa nor seek for the north pole. In passing through India he will drive a span of elephants, and in other countries take Lis chances with the natives, ride camels, tebras, girafü or mules, having determined when among the an cients to adopt their methods of traveling. Mr. Gould says he is fond of a good horse, but unlike Mr. Vanderbilt, he does not take to horse flesh far notoriety or pleasure, bat is fond of his home. Mr. Gould is not in stock speculations and has not been for two years past. He owns some gcod stocks and will hold on to them. He kas great faith in the Southern Pacific thinks railroad build ing is slightly overdone, but on 4he whole railroad property is a safe investment. though building parallel competing lines is not good policy. Mr. Gould does not fear a panic because the country is too rich and prosperous. The balance of , trade is io faTor of the United States, and the outlook, if not altogether lovely, is sufficiently charming to make him serene. At any rate Mr. Gould i3 convinced that he can go away and stay two years and find the Government 1

upon his return in existence and petty much as he left It, . That is cheering.

"With. Jay Gould In India, Australia or some other distant land, We shall probably hear less of buying Legislatures and Judges and other transactions of mat character, and as he will be out of the coun try in 1884, the next Presidential election will not be influenced by his morals or his money. In- making the tour around the world Mr. Gould will doubtless take with him a physician and a minister, one or two scientists and heaps of gold. If Mr. Gould and his party should never return, if the billows should be their winding sheet and the ocean their sepulcher, it is to be hoped that no water sprite or eldritch thing will disturb their repose: on the contrary, may the party find in deepsea soundings a nymph ean grotto where mermaids and water lasses shall keep them company during all their veara of pickle and bring bliss. If Mr. Gould yacht should go down in the Southern Pa cific." "Northern Pacific," "Union Pacific, or even the "Wabash," ha will be able to study watered stock at his leisure; and if, nerchance. his vacht should go down withi reach of an ocean cable he might, as a silent partner, wire his schemes tohlsewiork journals, and maintainihiainfluence in" West ern Union" and "Elevated Railroad" affairs. But we predict that Mr. Gould will be equal to all emergencies, and will, after two years absence, bring his yacht safely into port; at any rate, rcule in pace. DEED3 VS. CREEDS. The world is full of unavoidable afflictions. It is therefore quite unnecessary to borrow troubles, anticipate sorrow in this life or tribulation after life's fitful fever is over. The present does not warrant continuous feasting nor fasting. The happy me dium is the true philosophy. We are told that the remarkable book, entitled "Natural Religion," which is worthy of profound study, "shows that when the antagonisms of organized belief are removed.all men believe very much the same thing and are influenced by almost the same Intellectual, spiritual and social laws," and that "Christianity has often been made so Divine a syftem that men have failed to see anything human in it; and, again, it has been made so human that its Divine element has been concealed." It is this ceaseless wrangle about what Christianity really is that has proved to be a prolific source of trouble. The difliculty has always been to remove the "antago nism.1! of organized belief," and it maybe said that every effort to banish such opposition has not only resulted in failure, but has intensified the zeal of the opposing forces and made them more defiant. We are inclined to the opinion that "natural religion" is common sense religion a religien that a m an can understand without having first obtained a University education. If this conclusion is not correct, then we defy all the wisdom of the schools to furnish an acceptable reason why Christ Himself selected uneducated men to teach His religion. We would not dwarf nor degrade "divinity," but we believe there is quite as much divinity in common sense as there is in anything else under the sun. Righteousness, right-doing is common sense, truth is common sense, honesty is common sense, and all the influences these factors and forces set in operation are common sense agencies designed to bless the world, and if that is not tbe mission of divinity, tbe question occurs, What is it? There has been so much industry in the world devoted to organizing antagonistic beliefs, creeds, dogmas, etc, that men and women of average intelligence are seeking for some standard by which they can regu late their lives, independent of all formulas, and fortunately lor them, they do EOt hare far to 50, nor loDg to search for a criterion which answers the latest demand a test for all conditions and situations, and for all transactions. It glows with divinity. It is natural religion and revealed religion. In following its teaching doubts disappear, resentments are banished, forgiveness is en throned; charity, robed and crowned an! ambassador from the skies, walks the earth, awakening everywhere the holiest aspira tions of the soul; benedictions descend like the dew, and love to God and love to man ascends like incense. What is this unerring guide, this oomrais and chart, by which men may reach the port of peace at last? Simply this: "Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them; for this is the law and the prophets." That will do. It meets the case. In its presence wrangling tongues are mute hypocrites are abashed, the wayfaring man reads as he runs and fools need not err in their feeble efforts to understand its meaning. It may possibly occur to some student of the "antagonisms of organized belief," if they credit Christ with omnis cience, that He fully comprehended the situation of things during the close of the nineteenth century that he foresaw the antagonism cf organized belief, the con flicts of creeds and the discord of dogmas and determined to lead common sense people above and beyond the soul-warping and miud-blending influences. As a result men care less for preaching than they do for practice. If men do unto others as they would that others should do unto them there is little need to talk about faith and creeds. There stand the works. ' The fire leaves a proud city in ashes, a tor. nado sweeps across the plain and whole villages disappear. The rains descend and the flood spreads devastation and death for a thousand miles. What then? Above tbe roar of flood and tempest and fire is heard the command: "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do you ye even so unto them." It is obeyed The lightnings flash the news that relief is coming tbe train thunders along the track loaded with offerings frm til the people. Men, women and children, corporations, municipalities and States respond. Antagonisms disappear, creeds hide their deformities, all hearts throb in unison, all hands are ready to work, and human nature rises and expands to the full measure of its God-created prerogatives. That will do. It now looks as though ex-Senator Stephen W Dorseyi sr. t,, the man who'disbarsed Arthur's soap and carried Indiana for Torter and Garfield, will, at an early day, be arrayed in coat and trousers of many stripes, have his head artistically shaved, and be required to learn a trade; and it must be can

feseed that the outlook for General Tom

Brady is quite as altitndilum as that which confronts the Republican boss, who lectured Garfield upon the subject of" Cabinet con struction. The Republican bosses have enjoyed the spoils of office so long that they have come to regard them as their own property, and Impatiently seek to brand Democrats who aspire to public positions as little better than highway robbers. It is hard to be patient in the presence of impudence eo supreme. Geniral Graut, at one time credited with being the first citizen of the Republic, is now continually referred to as engaged in some scheme for making mon.vf lie don't seem to have any permanent residence anywhere, and his name is frequently connected with exceedingly questionable under takings. CURRENT MOTES. Texas ha s 6,000 miles of railway. Chine.sk paper has appeared la New York. Boston is going to light all her streets with electricity. Lor k's labor lost la the classic play daily per formed by the tariff reformers la Congress. I Switzerland the authorities have prohibited the evening meetings of the Salvation Army. Another river and harbor bill, bat not of a very extensive nature, has been reported in tbe Ilouse. Chicago has no prophets to stone, but she has killed six of her policemen In tha last eighteen months. A rot-No Baltimore woman, actuated by no matrimonial consideration, has renounced Method Is ta and made a formal profession of the Jewlah faith. CoNGREfl will soon adjourn, bat tbe Star Route trial will not It will continue all spring and summer; the Jurors will get old and gray, but it will go on, regardless of cost. A fall of "red or crimson snow" is chronicled In a paper published at Laramie, W. T. It was half an Inch deep and covered all the country tributary to the head of the Big Laramie Elver. A woman lay three days In a trance at Big Bap ids, Mich. On recovering she believed she bad died and come to life in another person. This delusion can not be dispelled, though in other respects she Is sane. In many parts oi Sweden exist enormous quan tities of bleached mosses which grew many aoea ago. A manufactory of paper from this material has begun operations near Joenkoeping, and is said to be turning out a product of exceUent quality. A Gas Company has failed in Paris. No particulars are given, but it is supposed they under took to supply their customers with a uniform article of gai of a high quality. There Is uo dag ger of any Gas Company la this country f Ailing In that way. An epidemic of vandalism is said to be playing the mischief In and about the National Capitol this winter. The colossal statue of Washington Is reported to be minus a big toe; Boger Williams has lost a little finger, and the Indian woman in the Columbus group all five fingers of her right hand. Twenty-five years ago a clergyman in an Alabama town prayed one Sunday that the Lord would send a wind and blow the ten-pin alley down. The next Wednesday a wind visited the town, blowing down the ten-pin alley, and nothelse in the whole village. There has never been ten-pin alley there since. , It Is stated as a fact tnat at least 50.000 of the people of Glasgow, Scotland, go to bed gloriously drunk every Saturday night of the year. If this statement be true It is because there is in Scotland a law prohibiting the sale of liquor on tbe Lord's Day, and the brawnyScot imbibes enough on Saturday to last him until Monday morning. Michigan Judge, in sentencing a prisoner to Ave years of servitude la the Penitentiary, com. men ted with severity upon a petition signed by a number of women, spoken of mm "ladies." who requested clemency In the esse. I-esnuch as the prisoner's crime was rape, of an exaggerated kind, the world at large Is apt to applaud the act of theJudga. A Eibkriax traveler, who knew that glass is very expensive In the Arctic region, was much surprised at what he thought was the extravagance of tbe peasants, whose house widow panes were, to all appearances, c olid plates of glass three Inches thick. On close examination he dis covered that the panes were slabs of ice carefully frozen Into the frames. Tnc champion meat maa of Boston was seen In a horse car a few days a?o. Noticing that his neighbor, evidently a hard-working, poor woman. was about to pay her fare with six cents, he pro posed to her to use one of his tickets and give him the money, remarking that he might as well make the profit as allow the Company to make it. And the most remarkable part of the incident was that the woman accepted the offer. Thi treacherous nature of all winter resorts which are warmer than their mere relation to the equator would make them, and which therefore depend upon ocean currents and the "lay of the land" for their extra heat, was Illustrated two weeks ago at Cannes, in Southern Trance. For seveval days the weather was bitter cold, and on January 23 snow and sleet fell, though for the first time, be It marked, since December, 1870. J The Jews in Russia seem theatrically Inclined to a very abnormal degree, as Indeed they are everywhere. The burials of the persons burned to death at the late circus fire of Berdltschoff comprised thoss of 150 Jews, 70 orthodox Christians and GO Roman Catholics. Tho Hebrew people paid dearly for their amusement In this terrible catastrophe, but they must certainly be suffi ciently numerous In BerditschofT to render their patronage a matter of no little moment JOHN HOWARD PAYHE. At Last tils Body Is to Be Barled In Amer lean Soil sit usk Bill Cemetery. Special to the Commercial Gazette. Washington, Feb. 10. On the 15th of March tbe bones of John Howard Payne are expected to land in New York. There they will be met by Mr. W. W.Corcoran's Special Committee, headed by Dr. Wilkins, of this city. The receiving-tomb will hold the cotlin until the 9th of June. That will be the ninty-second anniversary of his birthday, and then, for the last time, the author of "Home, 8weet Home" will be buried in bis own country. Mr. Corcoran detailed his plans this morning for that day. "I intend," he said, "to ask every paper that morning to priu-his immortal poem. Tbe monument will then be finished. It will be of para white marble, thirteen feet high, with a bust of Payne surmountiog it. One of our mest promising young sculptors is now at work upon it. This monument is to stand in the very center of the grassy laws, near the gate of Oak Hill Cemetery. No other burials have been, or will be made there. That place of honor will be solely his. On the day set we shall have an escort of the garrison and the district militia, an oration and tbe reading of hi" poem, with dirges by the Marine Band. The exercises will be very simple, but I am sure they will be impressive. "1 knew John Howard Payne as far back as 1810, and the year before saw him play the leading part in ' his play ' of 'Roecius.' After that I saw him frequently' about the house of my law partner, Mr. Eiggs, and was instrumental in gettiDg him the Tun isian Consulate, where he died. Thirty years have elapsed since his death, and no one moved to bririghis body back to America. In doing it I am satisfied with my exertiOM in the pleasure they give." "

The Horm Prien n Committee uaa agreed to recommend, a change in the system of keeping the accounts of receipts lad purchases at the Southern l'rison, and the adoption of the same plan . of keeping the boarding bouse at the Southern Prison aa has been adopted at the Northern, vesiiug the Directors with the sole power to make purchases of supplier and instructing them to buy In the lowest market. Mr. Huston, of the Committee, moved that Warden Howard should be severely cent u red for neglect of duty, and that the Directors be urged to remove him at once. The motion wis not acted upon, but Howard's friends were sufficiently alarmed to telegraph him to come here at once. The Senate considered the !Magee bill, which abolishes the present Statistical Bureau and recreates it, but consolidates in one oflioe the present Statistical and Geological Department. The bill had received the Indorsement of the Democratic caucus, and It was determined that it should be put through without much discussion. This was done after Mr. Spann, on tbe Republican side, had been allowed to express bis sentiments, lis opposed the bill because the only object of It was to legislate Republicans out of office and put in Democrats. He said ii the senators would point oat one act of dishonesty on ine pari oi any one connected with the btatutical Bureau or the office of the State Geologist he would vote for the bill. Mr. Msgee arose at the close of Mr. Spann's remarks, and stated be had on a previous occasion stated thai the Bureau of Statistics had been run asan adjunct to the Republican state Central Committee. He bad been informed tince that such was not the case. He therefore wished to withdraw the statement be bad made. The bill is said to grow out of a scheme concocted by a combination of anti-temperance Republicans and Democrat to rebuke Captain Conner, Chief of the Bureau, for the collection of some information on crime, and " incidentally these facts show up some of the ugly features of the liquor traffic and its relation to crime. Thete facts were published In the newspapers, and certain Republican city politicians were Incensed at this and said it would hurt them at the election in thi city and County. One of the Republican city dailies wculd not publish the stati'iics for this reason and the other one was roundly cursed for doing so. Mr. Bell, from a msjorlty of tho Com - mlttte on Elections, subedited a report signed by himself and Mescra. Fletcher, 8ayres, Spaun and Lock ridge, that sll speciilcatlons In the content of Johnston vs. Oversireet, except the charges of bribery, are not sustained by sufficient evidence to eu title the contestor to a seat in the Senate, and that the legal effect of the evidence as to tbe charge of bribery is not such as to sufficiently sustain the direct charge of bribery, ard believlog the contest was made in go d faith, the refort recommends that the oontes'or be alowed per diem and reasonable expenses. Mr. McCullough. Chairman, reported with the majority as to all charges but bribery, but that the charge of bribery is made out and sustained by the evidence, and it sets out such facts as are fully and clearly proved by tbe direct and circumstantial evidence adduced before the Committee. This bribery consists of Overstreet paylug the expenses of Rude, the Greenback candidate, uo to the lime be withdrew from the contest. The general appropriation bill was uoder consideration, and the attack of the Greeks upon President White, of Purdue University, was successful by a large msjorlty. The appropriation for the Institution was Increased from $12 000 to 120,000 coupled with tbe provision that none of it should be used until tbe regulations against members of secret societies were removed. The House indefinitely postponed the bill to repeal the State Board of Health act, thus insuring the continuance of that Department. It also passed the bill to reoreanize the House of Refuge, which now awaits tbe Governor's signature, Tr e Legislature adjourned from Friday evening until Monday afternoon in order to allow those who desire to accept the hospitalities of Logansport In behalf of the location of the proposed Asylum for the Incurable Insane, and others to visit the flood. u .

Although some correspondence passed be tween the gentlemen, there is no founda tion lor the rumor. Gentlemen who have been consulted in the matter, and to whom all notes have been submitted, said this afternoon to a representative of the Associated Press, nothing like a challenge or j ... . . . note lnuicaucg mere wouia De a challenge had passed. The question was asked. "May it then be said mat tne notes nave tended to conciliation or adjustment?' '"On the contrary." said the eentleman.

I., recentlj, our arent extended tis trip to the southeastern extremity of the town, to look about among the woaderf al Impiorements which have been aiade in the appearance of Warwidt Neckduricg a comparatively bilef period, and while conrer Inf on this aubjoct with Colonel BeDjamia 8. Hazard, the popular proprietor of the Warwick Neck Hotel, he learned that the creater part of tha handsome summer residences had been erected Inside of a dozen years ; and be also learned that Colonel Hazard had been a treat sufferer from chronic disease of the Kidneys and Bladder over fifteen years, the most painful form It being a stoppage or retention cf the urine, which was so very severe at times as to düable bim for bis accustomed work, and even confine him to the bed.when a surgeon's assistance would be required to relievo him. He was beiDg doctored a large part of the time but could get no permanent relief. At times his luCerim were ten ible from sharp, cutting pains through the Kidneys and Bladder; and he had suffered so long: and so severely that he had become discouraged of getting well again, especially as the foe tor stated that it was doubtful if a man of his age. with such a ccnpl'c&ted ölease of long; itaudiiig, could be cured. Bat last summer, when he wa Buffering Intensely from one of these attacks, , tfentleman who was boarding at his hotel. Bired and persuaded him to try a bottle of Hunt' Remedy, as he had known of some wonderful cures effected by'it, 3Xr. Hazzafd says he had no faith In It, but eonaented reluctantly tj try it; and after taking it only two days, the Interne pIus and aches had disappeared, and he commenced to gain strength rap dly. and in less than a wetk was attending to his accustomed work, and had never bad a return of the pains. Mr. Hizzard Is over seventy years of age, and on the 25th of November, 1S2, when our agent met him, although it was a very cold and blustering day, he was in the field with his team at work pulling and loading turnips, as hale and hearty a man as you could wish for whereas last August he was unable to stand up to ov-rsee work then going on in the ume field. Hunt s Remedy had given him health and strength aeain. and he recommends it to his relatives and friends, leveral oi whom are now taking it. as he considers it a most excellent medicine for all diseases of Kidneys and Bladder. LOG-ROLLING. While Wrestling With a Fallen Tree a LnmbsrmanRerelrsi Consequential Dam8. While on a hunting excursion in the great coal and wood region of Carboadßle, Ta.. the writer met William Coil, a lumberman. Accustomed to life and labor In the forests from early man hood, he was a true Knight of the Axe. Many a tree had fallen before his ringing strokes, and fleets of rafts have borne away to market the sawed products. Coll Is a character, and If Oscar Wilde 1 right in saying that all movements in unhindered labor are graceful, our friend William, stripped tor his work, and attacking a tree as Richard I. assaulted the heavy doors of Front de B-eufs Castle, must have presented an admirable picture. One day, however but let him tell the storr himself as he told it to me ; "I was out in the woods, you know, trrisffto start a log dawn a hill. Thinking I could get a better purchase on it from the lower aide. I tackled it there with my log-rolling hook and threw my weight oa the lever. She started, ähe did, but as luck would have it, before 1 could get out of the way she roUed right over me. If it hadn't been for a lot of small limbs and brash lying In the road, which Ufte i her tin ah,vt 'a crushed me flat. As it was I got up without a broken bone, but with some mighty bid bruises."
