' Democratic editors will bear in mind that the State lemccratic Editorial Association . of Indiana will meet in its anr.nal session at Indianapolis, i . Thursday, January 3, 1884, , tor the purpose of electing officers and trans---acting such business as may be properly . nought before it. The year will be one of unusual intertst to the Democratic party of the State, as well as the whole Nation. It is, therefore, -eipected that every Democratic editor in the State wili make it his duty to be present at ' -the meet in ; of the Association and take part vn its deliberations.

A KaM ark. able number of bald heads is noticeable among the new members of Congress. You see, a good many people said, "Co up, thou bald head.' The opening winter in Europe is reported quite as mild and genial as it is here. A Democratic Speaker seems to have a soothing effect even upon "Old Hieras." Tux Eastern newspapers are beginning to get it through their heads that the West is in earnest oa this "tariff" matter. It is a solid West that is being heard from. The New York Sua calls for a settlement of the tariff question. It is a good deal like ordering up tbe judgment day; but then they will both get along ia due time is the hope of a good many good sort of folks hereabouts. The friends of Mr. Blaine are afraid of Cincinnati as a place for a National Conyentioo. Mr. Blaine was slaughtered there ia 1376, and that wonderful party Hayes 'scooped" the nomination for the Presidency. It is reported that Blaine has collected a large amount of documentary proof show J ng that the third term ambition of Grant, Conkling. Logan et aL involved the destruction of the Republic and creation of an empire. By all means let us hare tbe document?. Tin: New York Sun baring remarked that the election of Carlisle is a "new departure , of ths Democratic party," the Boston Pest says it is not very new, and adds: "It was definitely enunciated by the caucus that nominated Jefferson over eighty years ago, aad which crystallized into a great economic aaccts over a guarte; o g ftotarj p whoa

the country was enjoyin the blessings of the Walker tariff. The Democratic party has too often since tbe War drifted from its moorings upon some loose raft of expediency. It has learned wisdom from its hard experience and Is coming back to tbe benefit of compass and chart The course seems now a clear one, and the voyage will be made to a safe harbor with sure anchorage."

A ."gK5t" from Texas has been fascinating Lafayette society. His name, during his stay there, waa "Major Erastus Jones." lie passed as the cattle king of Texas, and took the confiding people of the Star City in on bow to invest money in Texas lands. He flitted last week, like a bird of his own sunny clime. It may have been noticed frequently that this class of gentry all '-flit." BEECHER AND THE THEATER. At the age of three score and ten years, Rev. Henry "Ward Beecher has arrived at the conclusion that theaters are not specially . designed to belp tbe devil to maintain possession of any portion of this mundane sphere. Mr. Beecher, like Grant In the Fit John Torter oase, is satisfied that he has been mistaken, as to the facts in the case, and now in bis old age, when nothing is to be gained nor lost in the way of salary, Henry Ward Beecher steps to the front and says to the theater going people, "you are. right. He confesses virtually, that all his antagonistic attitudes toward the theater has been wrong. He has seen Salvina in Othello." and Irving in the "Bellis," and therefore surrenders. He backs out and backs down, yields, surren ders, throws up the sponge, acknowledges himself whipped, admits his ignorance, brushes aside all his lifelong professions, confesses his fanaticism and is ready to die. asserting that the orthodox world has made too much rumpus about Theaters. Is Beecher honest? With one foot in the grave, aud the other scarcely beyond the margin of tbe narrow limits of an aristo cratic casket, can be afford to be dishonest? He looks Plymouth Church and $20,000 a year, square in the face, and says, "The Theater will do to tie to." He admits that the stage is net a demoralizing agent. He sees in it much to admire and commend, and not content with that sort 01 an indorsement takes an English actor to his home and dines him in royal style. The Church gives him the money, and he ex pends it to exalt the Theater. He does tuii in his old age, when his locks are gray, wlien his eyes are dim, when Lis step Is faltering, when his heart, like a muffled drum, is beating a funeral march to the grave. In view of such facts, what of Beecher and the teachings of lis life? He throws ' them to the wind3. He says they have been a mistake from the first to the last. What is the lesson to be learned from Henry "Ward Beecher? what are young men ro say? Simply this: Beecher has swallowed himself, and wo dismiss him. lie has been a meteor rather than a fixed star. His orbit has been as zigzag as a Virginia fence. A genius, no doubt, but in religion always consulting his pocket, until at last, having a plenty of this world's goods laid by, and a few days to spare before he climbs tbe golden stair, he tells "his people" and the world: I have been all my life proclaiming and advocating vagaries. I have been magnifying fiction and making it appear like fact. He now says God did not make man in the beginning. lie scouts the atonement of Christ. He denies the fall of man. He -brushes aside the Bible, and, in religious matters, so far as his early teaching are concerned, be plays bull in the china shop. He smashes thing. It comes lTtLis. millions of men and women, la the past as now, bare bel'eved the stage to be a civilizing, humanizing, and a civilizing factor. They have stood by it amidst tidal waves of fanatical obliquy. They have not esteemed it perfect; they have recognize! its need of improvement, but they have known, nevertheless, that it waa quite as near peifection as the teachings of Henry Ward Beecher, and far nearer perfection than his practices. And now that Henry Ward Beecher indorses the Theater adds nothing to its character. When it would have cost Beecher something in the w ay of salary to have said just things of the 1 heater, he was wanting in manliness, courage aud conscience to say it; and now in his dotage, theater-eoers care little whether he approves or disapproves. The Theater in the past was more than equal to his anathemas, and will pursue its shining way ia the future regardless of his approval. CIVIL RIGHTS AND THE REPUBLICCAN PARTY. The Republican party passed a civil rights bill, knowing it to be unconstitutional. The bosses and bummers of the party used the unconstitutional law to attach more closely to the party the negro vote of the country. The Republican party knowingly and deliberately deceived the colored men of America, lied to them, and crystal ized their lies into a law. After eight years the law got before a Republican Supreme Court, partisan ized for purposes as infamous as ever corrupted the judiciary of any land since Courts had an existence. This Republican Supreme Court tells the Republican party, "You enacted a lie and a fraud. You deceived the colored people. You defied and degraded the Constitution, and now we sweep away your refuge of lies." The colored people comprehend in some measure to what a shameful extent they were deceived, and are turning away from the Republican camp. Tbe Republican organs have had a hard time of it since this scheme of deception was laid bare by tbe Supreme Court, and tbey have sought in various ways to fire the heart of the colored men of the country, but with little success. The New York Star says: II this decision is wrong, the responsibility for it rests with a Republican Supreme Court. But the decision Is conceded by every able Uwyer to be the only one that could have been honestly and intelligently rendered. Tbe various States can euact laws assuring his civil rights to the colored man. but we are not aware that any Rcpublicau State bas shown headlong ba-te to atone for the mistake of Congress. On the contrary, the colored man is assured of more social equality under the statu Ua of South Carolina to-day tban under those of Ohio, Iowa or Massachusetts. When a colored man was nominated a couple of years age for tbe lowest place on tbe Hamilton County, Ohio, Republican ticket, the Republicans of Cincinnati uttered ' suca a howling protest that be bad - to be dropped. When the Democratic Governor Butler of Massachusetts nominated, for the first time in that State, a man ol African descent for a minor Judgeship, the Governors Republican Council ItfVKVi feicciel jue pvaias'do AnJ fX

the Republicans in the Massachusetts Legislature undertook to pass a resolution condemning the civil rlgnta decision, that nominee stood up aad tonde a ringing speech, not only denouncing the hjpocrisy. but manfully declaring that bis rax must depend upon Itself to win ana assert its rigUU without trusting to the kindness or cajolery o( legislative bodies. When Republican State Legislatures. Republican hotel-keepers and Kepublicana of every kind prove their sincerity by according socfal equality to the colored man, then tbey can afford to make an issue on tbe subject it tbe Democrats are a whit behind them. ' ( The colored men of the country are learning that in all regards the Democratic party is a better friend than the Republican party, because Democrats do not lie to them, nor oppress them, and the more intelligent of the race, breaking away from Republican euthrallrnents, are asserting their independence and their capacity to hold their places in the struggle for existence and advancement. The solid colored vote is at last lost to the Republican party. Another sign that it must fromove on and out of the way. The loeic of facts and of events is coming grandly to, the rescue, and with the Democratic party in power we are to have a reign of decency. ' ' 1

MATRIMONY MALADROIT. All oyer the land there is . constant complaint about the frequency of divorce, Di vorce means unfortunate wedlock, bridal blindness, nuptial nonsense, and all too ait en wedded wickedness. To denounce divorce is equivalent to opposing s surgical operation where a tumor is to be removed or lanced. What society needs is to be stirred to its profoundest depths in regard to marriages, which all the world knows is the result of bargains the highest bids just as slocks are sold on 'Change. Look you. There is a beautiful maiden, the daughter of rich parents, codfish aristocrats, watered stock nobility, petroleum patricians. She is for sale. The bids are opened, the contract signed, and a marriage a la mode is announced. The ceremony and result is told felicitously as follows: "Ob. wilt thou take this form so spare This powdered face and this frizzed hair, To be thy wedded wife ; And keep her free from labor vile. Lest ihe her dainty fingers soil And dress her up in gayest style As Una as tbou hast life?" "J will." "And wilt thou take these siocVs and bonds. This brown stone front, these diamonds. To be thy husband dear? And wilt thou in his carriage ride. And o'er bis lordly home preside. Or be divorced while yet a bride, Were a single year:" "I will" "J hen 1 prohuünfe jrüü niäh äud wiie; And with what I've together joined The next best man may run away Whenever be a chance can find." The people common sense people know what will be the final outcome when the announcement is made. They look forward to a social earthquake. Tbey take injat their real value the press reports, toilets, flowers, wedding presents, all the vulgar parade ot what ought to be private matters; and in a vast majority of cases predict with cruel certainty what will be the result. The modern method of writing up weddings in "high life" is to the last degree vulgar. A wedding is eminently and pre-eminently a personal and a private matter. As a general proposition, the public care nothing about it. To parade it, to detail all the incidents connected with it, is to enter the sanctum sanctorum of domestic life and make its most sacred secrets common-place talk on tbe streets and in the Clubs, while such things are going on, divorces may be expected. The quiet of domestic life is not to be ushered in by such pyrotechnics and fusiiades, and when vulgar vanity usurps the domain of common sense catastrophes inay be calculated with a degrre of certainty over which divorce-attorneys chuckle with real glee. Manifestly, society wants less divorce, and it will have less divorce when there is more divinity in wedding, and not till then. Matrimony should mean a wedding of hearts; something more and better than inatrimoney. When parents for mere mercenary considerations, encourage their children to wed, they commit an indiscretion scarcely less than a crime, ami in comparison of which polygamy need not blush. The subject is well worthy of attention, and the more it is considered the more it will appear that the demand is that in tbe game of matrimony hearts should always be trumps. I KOM OVEK THE WAT1CH. Tnr. mail from San Francisco for Australia last week filled about WO sacks. The most of it was from Europe. It is alleged that, although tbe Vatican archives ', are now open to heretics, everything which it is ' not expedient that they shall see has been put aside. The Chaplain of the Chapelle Expiatoire, in Paris, erected in memory of Louis XVI., has lately died, and the Government will allow no more services there on anniversaries. I A department for women has been opened at Owens College, Manchester, England, which counts eighty students, two or three of whom are reading for degrees, and are allowed to attend the senior graduating classes of the CoUege. The Revue Nationale will soon appear bi-monthly at Florence, edited by Angelo de Gubemetis, an eminent man of letters. It will oppose anarchists and despotisms. Messrs. Max Müller, Laveleye and Schwartz will contribute to the first nnmber. The Journal de Rome says that the Government, to avoid a conflict with the Church, has decided to place the monument to Victor Emmanuel in one.' tie lateral chapels of tbe Pantheon. The erection of a monument in the middle of a Church is. it appears, contrary to canon law. A orkat falling off is reported in tbe yiela of China silk. There was a considerable falling of! each year, but the quantity fit for export this year will be half tbe average amount. It Is believed that the deficiency Is owing to a disease of the silk werm similar to that which has committed such ravages in Europe. A. M. BoEXiuir, who, hiving amassed a Urge works of art, raised au immense building near the Fanbourg St. Gcrmainc, to be used for their public exhibition, bas just died in Paris. Iiis death bavins come suddenly before be had legally carried out lis inteutions, his daughter offers the collection for sale. The sale which will begin at the cIomo of this month, will occupy seven weeks four dsvi in each week and offer rare opportunities. Thb commander of an English man-of-war lying at anchor in Portsmouth Harbor recently missed his watch and chain, and ordered that the kitt of several men be searched for them. During their scarcaings the greatcoat of a sentry was fouud to be lined with sovereigns. How long they had been there or to whom they bc.oneed is reported to bare been unknown to tbe sentry, who declared that be bad never suspected the existence o( the treasure. Bat how he could have worn' his coat without feeling their weight be did not explain.

Tbe excavation of the Mont Cents required fourteen and a half years, that of tbe St. Gothard required about eight years, but that of the Arlberg, when the vaulting, the roadbed, and the rails are completed and in their places, will require no more than four years, ' A considerable sum of money has been raised by the Berlios Monument Committee, but it is not encouragingly large, else tbe aeries of concerts that has been arranged for would hardly be necestwry Fcrsons who purchase tickets to the concerts will be entitled also to a lottery ticket, with a chance for getting a painting, in which la shown the scene of December IS, 1SG3, between Berlioz and Paaaninl. On that occasion the story is that Berlioz had glvem his "Symphonie Fantastique" and "Harold" in one concert, and Pagrralnl was so enchanted by them that he fell on his knees before tbe composer, and In tbe face of the whole audience, kissed his hands.

Tbe population is not, ' I believe, on the whole, too large for the land of Ireland, and the industries of Ireland, if properly carried on, would support them In prosperity and happiness. But In the present state of things I be Here emigration is the only remedy. Where is the evil in emigration T There ia not a gentleman who has a large family that does not feel it for their benefit that some of its members should emigrate and live tn Canada, the United Elates or Australia, The excavations which have been carried on for some lime between Ute site of the ancient Roman forum and the Fatatine Hill bare brought to light apparently the location of the House of the Vestal Virgins. Tbe remains discovered consist of an atrium surrounded by apartments of varioui sizes, a Utbttalurn, with a fine mosaic m&rble floor, and three large pedestals, equidistant, on which are inscriptions to three ot the superior Vestal. There is, however, Fome doubt as to whether these pedestals occupy their originsl positions. Several other inscriptions have been found, among them one In honor of Alexander Severus and another of Commoduc. The Roman arcbaeologUts consider this oneof tbe moat interesting collectionsof antiquities yet unearthed in that city. The first week in November, heginuing with All Saints' I7. is celebrated in Borne as a "Festival of the Dead." There Is nothing mournful about tba custom. People go to the cemeteries laughing and talking as If they were in a public promenade, and the various tombs, chapels and vaults are visited with as much curiosity as any exhibition of works ot art. Before 1S70 tbe "Festival of the poad" was observed wih more pömp than now. At break of day cannon Wer3 Sre-J, aad the Poutifical tsnner was unfurled. Later the Pope celebrated mass in the Sl&tinc Chapel, and at night "sacred" representations of Scriptural scenes were given in various cemetries. These performances, of course, were reminiscences of the mysteries that were celebrated during tbe Middle Ages, and also of the dances ot tugan origin once performed in J" rceineterieif, failed "Dances of the Dead."

Purins the past suiuinn the staircase at Windsor leading from the octagon to tbe ante-room of the roya! gallery of. the Private Chapel has been entirely altered in order to make the ascent of it more esy for the Queen. While making improvements at Cole's Hill near Plymouth (Mass.) last week the workmen discovered the graves of a number of Pilgrims who came to America in the Mayflower, and who were buried during the first winter after their arrival. One of the craves was opened and contained the skeleton of a middle-used man five feet nine inches in height. These are the only sraves of the tirt settlers which have been positively idcutiticd, and tablets will mark the exact location. The utility of; the telephone is illustrated in some new way every few days. Mr. Ward Hunt Jr., of Utica. arose the other moruing to find that his bouse bad been ransacked by burjlar. The dispatch says further, "Mr. Hunt's wardrobe was so depleted that he had to telephone for a suit of clothes." Now If Mr. Hunt had beeu robbed a few years earlier, or the telephone had been iuvented a few years later, his dilemma would have railed for more than a casual mention. Wilkie Collins, when working regularly, writes about 1,200 words a day, covering with them three large pages ot letter paper. He writes slowly, and cuts and scratches, and rewrites aad interlines, and adds sentences ih tbe margin, aud sprinkles blots everywhere, until tne manuscript loots like a Chinese puzzle in a nhrhtniare. Nearlng the end of tbe book he gets excited aud scribbles away like a msdman. writing for twelve or tit teen hours ata stretch without stopping save now and then to jump around on the floor and act out the situation. OPINIONS OF TUE STATK PRESS. The Rockport Sentinel says: The Henderson. Ky Reporter Is ably presenting tbe claims of Hon. Joseph E. McDonald for 1'resi dent, and we tnink if our own papers in Indiana would put forth a united effort he would be certain of the nomination. The masses of the people, irrespective of party, hold Hon. Joseph E. McDonald in high esteem, and this alone should prompt Democratic papers to advocate his nomination. The Sentinel in the same issue says: The Democrats will certainly elect the next President, if we may judge from tbe tone of the press of both parties. Among Democratic papers the discussion is as to the moat available candidate, showing that the Democrats are getting ready for a vigorous campaign. Upon the otner hand, the Republican press is discussing tbe probable chances of feraoc ratio-candidates. However, the "leaders" will settle down upon a man one of tnese days, and the Republican editor wilt lake hold as enthusiastically as if they had been instrumental in naming the candidate. The Frankfort Crescent says: McDonald and Cleveland is our ticket for li. The Tipton Times says: Some of our exchange are favoring the nomination of I. I. lirsy for the Governorship in 1S8L Governor Grav is a very good man, and made a trood race in 180. but we predict thitt Jude Hoimail will be the n.t Governor of ludiana. if he is a candidate. Tbe Vincennes Sun puts it this way: "The bloody shirt Ik to be the Republican shibboleth next year. You can see it sticking out not the jhlrt. but the shllbolt'tb." The Michigan City Dispatch contains the following: The Elkhart Sentinel mji ex-Uovernor Grayii thus far the favorite In tbe race for tlt nomination for Governor of this State by the Democrats next year. He is entitled to the position. The Lo?ansDort Tharos says : The only battle cry the Republicans now have is the "bloody shirt." We snoutd think that a party wbose'leaders and press were in a measure responsible for the assassination of a 1'resident would now be struggling for peace and prosperity, rather than bate and discord. Their only hope, however, is to array a solid North against a South tbat refuses to be Mahoned. ....

CARLISLE.

In Ills Election as Speaker Principle Prevailed. J. S. Moore on the Situation, tn the New . York Times. "No, don't congratulate me; this fight was made upon a principle. Be glad because the principle bas prevailed ; I only represent it." The above sentence was the first answer made by Mr. Carlisle when congratulated on his nomination for Speaker. The friends of Mr. Carlisle all along maintained that the fight was not for men but for principle. In my letter which you printed on Friday last I clearly showed this fact. I also foreshadowed tbat the real fight was between Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Randall, and that the sectional ttratagem started by the indiscreet friends of the Northern' candidates would prove a fatal boomerang. . Every peaceably inclined citizen must indeed feel grateful that- the Infamous attempt its revive sectional hatred , has signally failed, and the Speaker of tbt Forty-eighth Congress will justify tbe feeling of tbe whole country that after nineteen yean of peace there is no "section," and that those wbo try to revive a fratricidal ' policy have only borne selfish interest to serve. Another great principle gained in this struggle is the triumph of truth. Protection and monopoly desi-ed darkness and secret voting. Freedom '-nd truth demanded open and outspoken action.. Light prevailed over darkness, and Mr. Carlisle will bo Speaker. But what a revelation must the overwhelming majority for Mr. Carlisle be to the worshipers of the tariff fetich! Fifty-two out of ISS was all that Democratic protectionists and Democratic tariff reform dodgers could muster. Qf course, the votes for Mr. Cox, complimentary though they may naye been, ajl, In my opinion. rcpre8elil tariff reform. And right here I may remind my readers tbat the assertion of Mr. .Carlisle's friends that be would be elected without the aid of the New Yo-k delegation proved perfectly correct. And it may teach New York Democrats at least a lesson. I have no doubt it will teach some Democratic members of this city a lesson next fall. Now that the "prin ciple bas prevailed," the country will naturally be anxious for the future. Of course. I can only give my opinion, which may nol be worth more that any one else's opinion. Well, then, I fully believe that the very sanguine expectations of hot-headed free traders, and even those who clamor for very heavy general reductions of duties, will be disappointed. But I also believe and feel sure that a bill for judicious tariff reform and judicious reductions of duties, with additions to the free list, will certainly not only be brought very early in the session before the House, but will pass the House, and by a large majority, too. The defeat of Mr. Randall means very emphatically that the country is not Ttpe to give drunkards untaxed whisky or smoke untaxed tobacco. But a reduction of the whisky tax to fifty cents a gallon . and a further reduction of the tobacco tax will really involve little Joss of revenue, as former rejection of taxes on these articles have fully proved. ' It is therefore perfectly clear that a reduction of duties on ar me prime necessaries of life", a total abolition of duties on some raw ma'terial, which in reality is in the interest of manufacturing industry, is indispensable. Add t? this certain rectifications of the present tar'ff absurdities, and the whole programme is, OT at least ought to be, before us. I have solemniv declared oiten enough, and I now reiterate it, that a gradual and judicious tariff reform is the only feasible plan to adopt, and it is in tbe interest of tariff reformers to sincerely adoptsuch a moderate policy. Of course, there are mon strous abuses in the present tariff that, like some pest, stalk about in open daylight, such as the window-gla's and plate-glass tariff rohlerv.and a score of kindred rotten monopolies. These, no doubt, will find a proper and judicious level But there are many articles now in the tariff that require no alteration. If a tariff" reform is to be attempted at all, particularly by such gentlemen of the Ways and Cleans Committee as the Speaker will place there, w e may be sure that the consumers will be considered and taken care of, a luxury which they have not enjoyed for the last twenty-two years, and their turn has come at last As for the absurd reiteration made chiefly by those Democratic journals that were trying to make the tail wag the dog in this tariff policy namely, tbat a Republican Senate will not pa-js a tariff bill why, such an assumption is neither correct nor wise. There would.indeed, be odium on a party tbat would go before the country next fall with the stigma of refusing to reduce the War taxes in time of peace. Besides, what a policy can that be for a rarty to do nothing themselves ;and give their opponents the chance to go before the country and say, 'OU can not expect nothim Ironi these timid, vacillating people, but give us a full chance in all branches and we will reduce taxation? And I fully believe they would faithfully do it, too. But the Democratic worshipers of the tariff fetich, and that sneaky faction which advise the ostrich policy in this tariff reform business, will pe dily wheel into line. To them the election of Mr. Carlisle as Speaker will prove a Waterloo. The time of action bas come, and that action, I feel certain, will be moderate, judicious and beneficial. It will restore health and strength to industries that are now sickly and many of them in a precarious state. It will restore employment to scores of thousands of workingmen who are now on a strike and in a state of revolt against employers and capital. It will -relieve the country of the excessive War taxes under which, after nineteen years of peace, it is still groaning. And it will puncture the disgusting fester of monopoly under which a few hundred corporations and a few thousand individuals have accumulated tbe greater portion of the wealth of tbe country. Business and industry can only gain by the election of Mr Carlisle as Speaker, and the fact will speedily assert itself. Packing, Keeping- and Sellins; Kgrg-M. L. S. Gobel tn Country Gentleman. For preserving or holding eggs, I could mention many different ways, such as salt, dry , lime, corn meal, and even the ozone which has been my latest test and experiment. But from all of my experience I have found'the pickling vat and the ice-house tbe onl' successful means of preserving eggs, but I must give the latter mode the preference. The ice house must be perfectly dry and cold, at a steady temperature of 363 to 40, although eggs will keep iu a temperature 40 to 44. All eggs for cold storage should be jerfectly fresh and thoroughly culled. All the good and clean eggs should be packed in the very best oats, which should be fully one season old, and should also be run throupll the fan and well cleaned before being used. The barrels should be stiff and tight, with either hickory or white oak unshaven hoops, as tbe Hat hoops will generally burst if becoming the least bit damp. I know that a great many West ern shippers use cases for cold 6torlng, and I have also tried them, but thseggs never torn out 83 well or give the same satisfaction as when packed in oats, for the pasteboards will generally affect the eggs to a certain extent, and this always occurs when Spring ejnrs are stored in cases and held over until Fall. But eggs stored in the Fall in cases and put on the market during December and January will generally be of a little better quality, and are seldom affected from the pasteboard. Sprint; eggs should be stored in April and May, and such when stored in tbe East are generally marketed in June and July.and seilst about same the rate as fresh eggs. For Fall storing, eggs that are gathered from the latter part of July up to the middle of September should b? iwd, a'4 juia be jfixfcetgi

before the loth of January. I know that some Western shippers store their e?gs in the spring and hold then over for the fall trade, and from my experience of handling1 some of them I find that about two ship-, ments out of every three do not give satisfaction, because from the length of time they are stored a great many eggs become green and musty, and these are hard and troublesome to dispose of at any price, and are returned over and over again. I know that some shippers do not put spring eggs in the ice-house to carry over for fall trade, but they pickle them, and only store their fall eggs in the ice-house. This, I believe myself, is the best plan, because eggs that are properly pickled in the spring are far better than those stored in the ice-house in the spring, when taken out for fall trade. There are a great many ice-house eggs in market at present which were stored in the spring, and are entirely unfit for use; even the common class bakeries can not use them, and the consequence ia the most of them must finally be turned over to the morocco dresser, and this entails a heavy loss to the shipper. I, therefore, would not advise any one to store eggs in the ice-house, in the fpring. for the purpose of carrying them over until tbe fall trade spens, for I have not seen the ice-house that is so adapted as to make the eggs give good satisfaction, no matter how cold . it may be. It is the case this season, at the present time, that a great many -Western ice-bouse eggs are coming into market that have been stored since spring, and it is my firm opinion that the shippers will lose on them to a certain extent It is just this class of eggs that affect the general market materially, because even when they are sold they are almost invariably returned in a short time, because the consumers and buyers get so discouraged that they even quit using eggs for awhile, and these poor eggs have always a tendency to check the consumption and the sale of even good, fresh steck. . For limed eggs, the New York and Baltimore markets have generally been the most prominent, but the demand is gradually inCreasing in our market from year to year. I find that within the past few years there has been a vast improvement la liming eggs.

botn in tbe est and Canada. In regard to the quality of limed eggs, I am satisfied from my own experience that the New York Stat limed eggs take the lead every season. They have the preference with our trade, and always sell more readily than Western, and invariably command a little better price. There are some few brands of Western limed which are better than the general run, and these usually sell within about one cent of the price of New York State We have even exported considerable Western limed which have given good satisfaction, but it is only on rare occasions that this can be done, and then only when they are so low here that there is no profit in them for tbe shipper, and that is when we have a very mild and open winter, especially in France, from whence the largest supply of fresh eggs is obtained.' Fresh eggs we could never export and have a margin, as there is seldom any wide range of prices between this and the European markets. In fact the yelks of fresh eggs are imported to this country in such large quantities by the cask, that it would astonish even our largest Western egg shippers. These imported yelks are sold by measure to large bakeries and morocco dressers. In the fall, when the trade is about fairly stayed on limed eggs, and the buyers are once saii;5?d rbi quäl515 of any certain brand, they will generally want iii&t same brand the whole season, and if they should happen to get anything different, and it is not up to the standard they generally get discouraged at once, and it then becomes a bard" matter to again fcell them even the best brand that comes on the market. ZOK A HIKNS MURDER. An est of John W. Hunter on the Charge of Complicity in the Murder. Teoria, 111 , Dec. 9. -This evening about 10 o'clock a man was placed in Jail here charged with the murder of Zora Burns, at Lincoln. The man making tbe arrest was Thomas J, Lflrrison,ex-SJierift of Logan County, who is understood to be working in the interest of Orrin A. Carpenter, and the prisoner now in the 1'eoria Jail is placed there under tbe name of John W. Hunter. His aliases are Thomas Russell and John Vance It was an exceedingly difficult undertaking to find out anything about the matter In the month of November a letter was sent to Lincoln. The man who wrote the letter supposed he was writing to the Prosecuting Attorney there, but the letter was so directed that it reached instead one of Carpenter's attorneys This letter was written in such a way as to constitute a blind and induce the further and more vigorous prosecution of Carpenter The substance of this letter was a request to Carpenter to send that frlUO o A. Willingford, Tostoflice in Will County. This letter was thought by Carpenter's attorneys to be a blind to induce a more vigorous prosecution of their client, and they turned the letter over to I.arrison, who, fts a detective, was keeping guard over Carpenter's interest. On the morning of the Zora Burns murder a man answering Hunter's description bought a shirt at a store in Lincoln, and on a cuff wrote the name Vance. He was also in Peoria at the time that Zora Burns and Carpenter were registered at the Peoria House, and it is even claimed that he was the man registering under the name of Carpenter, and that he was Zora's male companion. Larrison was seen at a late hour, but absolutely declined to give any information except what was known to be talse. At last he was trapped into tne admission tbat be was really arrested in connection with the Zora Burns tragedy. The ills which flesh is heir to are more often due to impurities in the blood than is generally supposed. The purification of this vital fluid enables tbe system to ward off its worst enemies. There is no doubt tbat Hood's Sarsaparilla is one of the best blood purifiers in the world, and we feel confident that those who give it a trial will not be disappointed.
