Some of our Democratic contemporaries :e pabliahlDg as news that the Indiana Congressional delegation and the Vice President elect are solid for ex-Senator Joseph E. McDonald for a place in President Cleveland's Cabinet. Tbis ia co news in Indian. It la no news that Mr. Hendricks, Mr. Voorhees and Mr. ITolman are in common with others of the Indiana Democracy in faror of Mr. McDonald for a Cabinet portfolio. The choice ia not only appropriate bat natural. Mr. McDonald has been shoulder to shoulder with all the statesmen named in retrieving Indiana and the Nation from Republican control. Along with Mr. Hendricks in the Vice Presidency, Mr. Voorhees in the Senate and Mr. Holman in the House, Indiana's eye looks and expecta to see Mr. McDonald in the Cabinet. He combines the spirit and the ability adapting him for the honor, and if any other recommendation is needed the affections of Democrats and the respect of II the people of the State, regardless of Tarty, supply it. PEItSONAIiS. Davy Crockitt's favorite ri3s Las been sent from Dandridge to the New Orlean'a JEr. position. Colon tl Ingersoll is said to have made 5 25,000 from fifty lectures during the last two months. One of the rrctt startling tilings revealed in Dr. Holme' "Life of Ralph Waldo Emerhon" is that the great Yankee poet and philOMpher always had pie at breakfast. Mb. Healey's portrait of Longfellow one cf the only three paintings cf the poet in existence has been hung in the art gallery of the Botolph Club, Bo ton. General Grant has often been requested to deny the report that he was drunk at the battle of Shiloh, but be always replied that 1f the people believed that story after the battle of Shiloh they might do so." The late Dr. Rabbeth, who lost his life in endeavoring to save that of a diptheretic patient, ia to have his ncble service commemorated by the establishment of a medal at the University of London; a medal, a scholarship, or prize at King's College; the endowment of children's cots at King's College and the Royal Free Hospitals; and the erection of suitable tablets upon the walls of those buildings. Th Hon. Levi P. Morton, Tnited States Minister at Paris, leads the subscription iund cow being raised for the purchase of a miniature bronze copy of the statue "Liberty," to be presented by Americans to the city of Paris. The fund has nearly all been secured, and it is expected to present the etatue to the city July 4 next. It will be thirty feet in height, and be placed in the Place des Etats Uniä, Paris. Fbesidest Gabfizld's bronze statue, which was ordered for the Pacific coast ot a Nuremberg, Germany, artist, is completed. It is of heroic size, the figure being ten feet high. It represents the late President standing erect, with his head uncovered and clothed in civilian drees. On the sides of the pedestal are figures representing wax trophies and the American eagle. The front face of the pedestal bears in large, raised letters the name "Garfield." The statue will soon be shipped to San Francisco. "HrxDDEDs ot Yale graduates," says the Hartford Courant, "old and young, have read with a keen cense of personal loss the announcement of tbe death at Coopers town, N. Y., of Jude Hezekiah Stnrges of the class of 1SIL He was the list of the illnatrious line of 'college bullies,' a fine classical scholar, an upright magistrate, aud one of the fattest and jolliest of men, brimming over with wit as with kindliness a charm ins old-fashioned gentleman, whoee society was a treat and whose friendship was a decoration." The following anecdote is from John Wilson Croker's note books: One day an officer came very late to dinner at Talleyrand's, n unusual negligence in France, where everything is exact. He made a kind of impertinent apology, alleging that he had been delayed by a pequin, a nickname which the French soldiers give civilians. 21. Talleyrand, himself a pequin, asked what a pequin was. "We call pequin," replied tbe officer superciliously, "everything that is net military." "Ah, yes," said Talleyrand, quickly, "just aa we call military all that is not ci?Ü." Colonel Opera Mapleson, under a suit of one of his prima-donne, Mile . Ricceti, has tad his personal property attached. The Opera Colonel moved tbe vacation of the Attachment on the ground that he is a resident of New York. The proprietor and cashier of the New York Hotel testified in his behalf that the Opera Colonel had claimed that hostelne as his home for three years. But lliccetti's attorney opposed the motion declaring Mapieson to be a British subject and citizen and that he glorified in both, calliag his company "Her Majesty's Opera Company," and having his card lnaorioed "Lieutenant Colonel J. H. Mapieson Junior Carlton." The court la puzzling out whether Mapieson la or is not a New Yorker, while Riccettl is puzzled over the question of whether she will get bar 1,C31 Salary. Tax following is a reviral of a story told seme years ago in regard to a distinguished scholar: "Professor Sylvester, the great mathematician, who has lately been recalled to England from Johna Hopkins University, Is a trifle absent-minded. One returning to Baltimore from a vacation In England he got as far as Philadelphia when ha missed a paper on which ha had raada some important calculations. Turning on his heel he went immediately back to England for it, and was jnst lea vine; the steamer at LiverQQl when he found the mining paper In

the pocket ot the coat he had been wearing all the time. He bad not noticed it there before because he had been so deeply absorbed in the problems how to turn a hollow sphere inside out without breakin g the surface, and how to separate interlinked rings without cutting them, both of which feats he claimed would be possible if only mathematics dealt with four dimensions instead of three."

QUEXK HAPPENINGS. A Bloomsicrq, N.J., woman who was born dumb, began to laugh just before her death, and laughed continuously until she breathed her last. Air old maid in Nashville keeps a parrot which swears and a monkey which chews tobacco. She says between the two she doesn't miss a husDand mach. Between the clapboards of his house, A. Billings, of Le Roy, Mian., found 115 pounds of honey. One piece of comb was fare feet nine laches long and twenty-three Inches Wide. Mb. Sharks teaches dancing in Philadelphia, Mr. Drinkwater keeps a liquor saloon, Mr. Black, is a coal dealer, Mr. Say lor is a mariner, Mr. Painter is an artist, Mr. Birch teaches school and Mr. Lamb is a butcher. A drove of over 1,000 aheap was being driven on a road in Indiana. At a depression in the road water was found to cover it from fence to fence, but little more than the wagon track being bare. Just as the leader of the flock reaehed this spot a large black water snake crossed the track. The leading wether btepped short, and the entire space was soon blocked full. In a moment a dog came bounding over the backs of the sheep, and dropping down between the water holes, took the leading wether by the ear, giving him a gentle pull. He sprang into the air, clearing the narrow space between the water holes, followed by the entire Mock, the dog net leaving the track till the whole drove had passed. Mosdat' last an octopus was caught in Commencement Bay in about C00 feet of water by fish hooks. When brought to the surface it was almost umanageable, and it was only by a severe struggle that it was hauled into a boat and brought ashore. Once it se'zed upon the bottom of the boat and no effort could loosen it, until it did so of its own accord after the vessel was Bet in motion. One of the feelers came in contact with one of the boy's arms, and it was only induced to let go by beating the feeler to a jelly with a club. It is plenty large enough to master a man, and would be a dangerous customer to meet in the water It was a moneter rpecimen, having arms or feelers fully four feet long. The arms are eight in number, and are each supplied with 120 pairs of suckers, by which they seize and hold their prey. Its body is purse shaped, without fins, and is a foot long, and nearly the same in width. REUGIOUd AND PHILOSOPHIC. Don't Say "Just My Lock." He is a foolish man who says, "It is just my luck," when something goes against him. Don't say, "I wish I lived in a world where there is no sorrow and no disappointment" It would be a pitiable world; it would mean intellectual and moral death No wisdom or skill can keep us from trouble for trouble is universal and whatever is universal under the government of God must be good. Dr. Deems. Not AH Avaricious. In the Straits of Magellan there are places where, whichever way a Captain pats his ship, the wind will always be against him, and there are men rnnning all their lives in the teeth of the wind. There are a great many men who have business burdens. You hear it is avarice that drives the en. I dou't believe a word of it. The vast multitude of business men are toiling for others, toiling to educate their children, toiling to put a wing of protection over their house hold so that when they are gone their loved ones will not go to the poor-housa. Dr. Talmage. Hitter Words. A single bitter word may disquiet an entire family for a whole day. One surly glance casta a gloom over the household, while a smile, like a gleam of sunshine, may light up the darkest and weariest hours. Like unexpected l'.owers which spring up along our path, full of freshness, fragrance, and beauty, bo kind words and gentle acts and sv-eet dispositions make glad the sacred spot called home. No matter how humble the abode, if it be sweetened with kindness and smiles, the heart will turn lovingly towards it from all the tumults of the world, and home, if it be ever so homely, will be the nearest spot bedeatn the circuit or the sun. Sidelights of Character, Without half-lights and semi-tones we can attain nothing high in music or painting, it is the shades of expression that lead to a complete and perfect wholo. The history of ChriPt, as expreseeo in what has been recorded of His acta and sayings by His Arostles, shows Him as filled with the full est life. In the glance of His eye there was pathos. Ordinarily we think of Uinias a grave, statuesque man, but He passes with a touch from one mood to every other mood of the human mind. Humor haa Its place among them, though It is often overlooked by the ablest men in their Btndy of the char acter of Jesus. Some of us have an idea that humor does not belong to the perfect man. But that capacity for enjoyment and play is a symptiom of tbe richness of which lite is capab la. Dr. lieber Newton. Potentiality of the lloman M ind. The potentialities of the human mind are something which a perfect environment alone can develoD. Every man has some genuine good in him. The real mischief of life is that we predicate of the whole of human character what is true only of a fractional part The result is. that two biographies are avis? vi uiiu s mo aw vuivxji mao other a defamation. Wholesale condemna Mai Vvl m f aaw tn am 4Ka v m am an vKa tion is as Illogical as it is absurd. As the author is greater than his book, so the man of genius is greater than his whim. Because Johnson would not enter a room ex cept with his left foot foremost, or Marshal Saxe abide the presence of a cat, or Augus tus Caesar the reverberation of thunder tbey are not therefore, tobe relegated to tbe oo ten e oi loots. They are simply to be tamed a little, and at the proper angle we will see tbe divinity In each, Dr. Paiton. . - -v. i rrii i ikiv iura ATIUUBB, A if 00 the questions put to Sir George SitwelL a very young man, and the successful candidate at the recent election for Scarborough, was this: "Would be be prepared to support a bill rendering it lawful for a man to marry Lis widow's niece?" "Well," said 6ir Oeonre, "I have not yet given tbe matter serious consideration, but" Here he was interrupted with shouts of laughter. Let the Farn er Think.

On December 1G, the New Orleans Exposition was opened with appropriate ceremonies. President Arthur started the machinery oy electricity from Washington. Many public men and distinguished citizens from all parts of the country were present The President of the Exposition is "the largest cotton planter in the world," a millionaire and a man of superior ability and eminent public spirit The already assure! success of the Exposition is largely due to Mr. liicnardson, and tbe prominence at tached to his name as its President, is a proper recognition of the distinction he has achieved in the great interest which will be the leading element o: display in the World's Fair of issi-So. When the scheme ot having an Exposi tion at New Orleans was originated its pro jectors proposed to confine the exhibit to a display of the resources ot tne soutnsrn States, especially of cotton from its raw condition, through various processes of manu facture, to the production ot goods sold over the counter. The txoosition Company had scarcely tesn formed, however, before the numerous applications lor space made imper ative the enlargement of the plan. As eany as May last the erection of a second build ing was made necessary on this account The assistance of the loan of $1,000,000 op portunely tendered by Conerees prevented delay in this enlargement of the enterprise, and the second structure was commenced forthwith. From that time until now the good work of expansion has proceeded, and tbe Exposition buildings now comprise the Mam Banding, Government lauding, Hor ticultural Hall, Art Gallery, a building for factories and mills, another for saw mills and wood working machinery, the beautiful structure raised by the Mexican Govern ment, and several smaller buildings. Ut the various structures named the Main Building covers tnirty-three acres; the Government Banding twelve acres and Horticultural Hall three acres. In short over sixty acres of Exposition Park, which has an area of L'J acres, are covered with buildings, witn every encouragement to et ill farther expansion, in the way of application fcr room not now allotable, the Exposition Company desists from erecting more space for indoor exhibitors than that indicated. The Exposition at New Orleans promises to be the greatest in general exhibi ts that the world has ever Been, added to which will be the vastly entertaining display relating to cot ton that was the ecrn from which hasgrowa the unprecedented magnitude the show will present. Tbe productions and industries oi ma United States will be. of course, its princi pal feature. It will include a department contributed by colored men, one wnicn wui surprise by Us extent and merit Of foreign nations Mexico will make the largest exhibit, as already stated, in a building onstrncted by its own Government The Re publics oi central America win be wea represented, and, speaking broadly, the whole civilized world will assist to make New Or leans for the next eix months, including and ensuing the day on which the exposition shall be opened, a city preeentinc; unrivalled attractions. By the time of the opening ceremony at least 24.0CO individual exhibits will be in place. The company have done wisely in provid ing an outdoor as well a indoor exhibition. They have caused the park to be planted in . t ii a m .4V ? rare trete ana nowers irom an pans ot inis country, Mexico, Central America, South America and parts of Europe and Asia. The stables and grounds of the live stock department cover thirty-eeven acres of epece. The exposition at New Orleans, over whica Mr. Richardson will preside, will be the leading event in the declining year, and for nearly half of 1835. A KOSIAN ELECTION, How the Ancients in the First Itepnbllc Worked the "Wires. I Eugene Lawrence in Brooklyn Eagle From republican Home our early teacher we borrow most of our political ideas, and even language. Our elections vary little from thosa of the Roman forum. To the LatiLS we owe our candidates and our orators, our tribunition arts and tribunition veto, the ballot and the ballot-box, the register and poling, the conception of personal independence, the eoverelghty of the people. The free Roman would bow to no man; and Cicero and Oesar were forced to solicit the votes of their fellow-citizens with a humility that was never feigned. To obtain an office at Kome the candidate toiled for months and even years. Clad in his white xobe he walked the forum of the busy streets of the city, saluting every one, asking votes and seeking what we now call popularity. He spoke to every citizen he met familiarly. He grasped his hand, he begged his support; he spoke of his own merits, decried his opponent, promised to advocate some liberal measures, and sometimes a bribe. Cicero, who was above bribery, has left us in his letters a curious picture of the toils, anxieties and the Interior life of the Koman candidate. An election day at Borne was a scene of singular excitement Every year the chief magistrates of Italy were renewed, and every year the voters crowded the capital. The city was agitated by intense party feeling. The rural population from Latium and the distant colonies over the Tiber hastened to exercise the prized right of suffrage. Chariots Elisa witu citizens cams from the Sabine villages, footmen crossed the Sublician Bridge, a great milUJaJ? wandered through tbe streets of Home, astonished at the magnificence of the citv. If it was a consular election the pespls gathered at sunrise In the Campus Martins, where the voting was to take place. The candidates in their white robes, before daybreak, were seen mingling with the voters, followed by their partisans and proclaiming their political principles. Sometimes they stood on a high position where they could be seen by all; sometimes the great multitude Covered the tope of the houses and filled all the extensive plaia from the capital to the river. At length, at the sound of a horn, the ToUn assembled in the Campus Martins. If the auspices wave favorable and oo peal of

thunder heard, a standard was raised on the

Janicuium and the Consul began the cere monies with prayers and sacrifices; the peo ple, deeply superstitious, awaited awettricken until he closed. The spectacle was one ot rare intercut; it was an rssembiage ot Romen freemen. It the late comltia, at lesfct, all were equal. The rich noble, accustomed to luxury and power, the equites, who had eprung from poverty to wealth, the prosperous traders of the forum and saburba; tbe farmers, even sometimes the freed men. tbe manumitted slaves were deeded by the Roman law into harmonious and nomentary equality. Each was gifted with a vote. The voting next began. Tbe excitement rose. Tbe people, arranged in centuries or hundreds, parsed over a bridge of wool into tbe polling place. Here, in tbe earlier age, tbey voted oraily, and later with wooden tablets. Each vote was recorded and counted at once, and tbe result announced. The ballot-box and tbe register ware watched over by citizens of undoubted honor, and fraud was scarcely possible. As one by one tbe centuries gave In their ballots the excitf ment was redoubled. The candidates and the l eople hung breathless upon the cries of the heralds aa they proclaimed the progreBsoi toe election. Livy has left many a picture of these Tisavr ru-kl i t i 1 sitvn a a g fNmsr rn Ana ai'fa vegetable decay, by evaporation of toil moisture laden with it, or br npturniag of earth saturated with that compound. Re cent measurements of the carbonic acid in the soil, as compared with the amount pres ent n normal atmosphere, have shown that their relative pioportions are as 250 to one. now on another, the balance hung. A Scipio, a Cato. a Gracchus, a Ccesar had tri umphed, and the victor shouUd in a wild Strain of Southern enthusiasm that echoed far away over the Capitol and the crowded dills. Tbe beaten party turned silently homeward. The excitement was over, and the Roman voters went quietly again to tbsir usual pursuits. For 400 vears at least every year the Kornaus cave in their votes on the field of Mars. At length an Emperor a tyrant swept away the polls and ihe polling place?. Despotism reign over man for ten centuries; the very conception of a popular election and a popu lar rule bad perished; the right ef suffrage the pledge of independence died. It was revived in tbe republics or the middle, ages; it lived in the homes of the workingmen; it passed to Holland and to England; it crossed the seas to New England, and sprang up in rare strength. Ii has spread once more to Italy, to Germany, to every European State, never again to sink before the raze of a des pot or perish in the poisonous embrace of Biavery. äUNSKT COX," Dow the Genial and Jiluquent Statesman Earned Bis Sobriquet. The Hon. S. 6. Cox, in 1853, was editor of the Ohio btatesman, printed atuoiumbus, O. The fiobriqset of "Sunset" was bestowed upon him after he had written and published the following description of a suntet, which appeared in the Statesman of May 10, 1853. "What a stormful sunset was that of last night! How glorious the storm and how glorious the eettin j sub! We do not remember ever to have seen the like on our round globe. The scene opened in the West with a whole horizon full of golden interpenetra ting lustre, which colored the foliage and brightened every object in its own rich dye?. The colors grew deeper and richer, until the golden color was transferred into a storm cloud full oi finest lightning, which leaped into dazzling zigzags all around and over the city. The wind rose with lury. toe slen der shrubs and giant trees made obeisance to Hia majesty. Some even snapped before its force. The strawberry beds and grass m . i . si rw 1 plots turned up ineir wnues to Bee z,epayrus march by. As the rain came and the pools formed and the gutters hurried away. thunder roared grandly, and the fire bells caught the excitement and rang with hearty chorus. The South and East received the copious showers, and the West all at once brightened up in a long pousned belt ot az ure worthy ot a Sicilian sky. Presently a cloud appeared in the azure belt in the form of a castellated city, it becomes more vivid, revealing strange forms of peerless fanes and alabaster temples, and glories rare and grand in this mundane sphere. It reminds ns of Wordsworth's splendid verse in his bxcureion.' The appearance lnstaneougly discovered Was of a mighty city, boldly say A wilderness of buildings, sinking her And self-wlindrawn into a wondrous depth, rar slnkine into a splendor without enl But the city vanished only to give place to another isle, where the most beaitiful forms of feliage appeared imagining a paradise in the distant and purified air. The eun, wearied of the elemental commotion. pank beneath tbe green plains of the west Tbe great eye of the heavens went not down without a dark brow hanging over its depart ing Bight The rich Hush of the unearthly lizht had naesed and the rain naa ceased, and tbe solemn church bells, the laughter of children, out and joyous after the storm, is beard, with the carol of birds, while the forked and purple weapon of the skies still darted illuminations areund Starling College trying to rival its angels and leap into the dark windows.

A GREAT MISTAKE.

The Happiness of Two Lives Destroyed by a Foolish Resolve. One of the Many Cases of "Incompatl billty of Temper," and How the "Incompatibility" Had Its Origin. Under the divorce laws of Indiana it is not a hard matter for people to procure a legal separation who have become tired of their partners. There are evidences in the courti almost every day of Rreat outrages perpetrated under cover of the laws governing divorces. It is to be said, however, that the Judges of the various courts are very careful in their ex amination of the evidence in such cases, and if there is a single weak spot in them. the cases are thrown out of court It some times happens that divorces are refused by the Judges when there are evidences of the intermeddliag . of relatives, or of too great sensitiveness on the part of one or both the parties to the suit. In many cases the stories are romantic Here is one, the moral to which may be Bought by the reader at his leisure: John Smith Smith will do in this case, for several reasons married his wife, Mary, a good deal as other people do, except that they were perhaps less cautious ot how people laughed at their love-making in public. This, how ever, mattered little, and for nearly a year tbey lived quietly and happily together in the city, John sticking closely to his business and doing as well as could be expected. He had been with his firm for several years, was not a spendthrift had no bad habits worse than che wins- to bacco, and was a very suc cessful man in his line. One day the firm told mm that they would have to send him to Kantas to attend to bo me of the partner ship business, as all the other available men were gone oat, and he was the only one in the houfe to be trusted with the matter. Could he go? Yes. How soon? On the next train, if necessary. So he was told to go home and prepare for an absence of a week or ten days. John was disappointed, because the next day was Sunday, and he bad counted upon staying at home with his wife. He, however, was a little proud that he was selected as the proper agent for so important a bu&inees, and with these conflicting emotions he went home and told his wife of the matter. Poor Mary, the tears came to her eyes and she evidently struggled so bard to avoid crying over the matter that John sat down, and, taking her in his arms, said if she wished him to he would go back to ths office and decline the mis sion, even if it cost him his position. Mary then choked back her tears and said. No; if the firm said he mast go, then he would do so, and not mind her tears over so small a matter. He would be back again before two weeks bad gone by, and ehe would be brave aud bear up until he returned. And so the valise was packed and in a few hours Mr. Jchn Smith had bidden gocd-by to his wife and was going over the Vandalia Road toward St Louis. Tbe business was satisfactorily accom plished in the West, and with a light, happy heart John had started home. He knew iust how to report to the firm and just what tbey would say, for they were kind-hearted men. His wife would be at the depot to meet him, fcr che anew that he was to arrive at 7 o'clock in the evening; and many an hour did he pass thinking over the meeting. r in ally tbe time brought the train to within a few miles of the city. Then something Boggested to John that he must be dig nified when he met his wife; no soft caress at the depot. She would look up to him in the years to come for his practical and cool nmnnerof disposing of the trip. Then the train pulled into the depot. How he wanted to be out on the platform looking for his wife, but no! he must remain in his eeat and pretend to be reading tbe papsr, utterly forgetful of tbe fact that the Bweetest woman in the world was anxiously walking up and down the side of tbe train, looking for the only man In all the world to her. The train stopped and the passen gers rose up to leave the car, but John kept bis seat until tbe brakeman succeeded in uncoupling the patent couplers, and then he assumed an indifferent air and walked leiaurly away. Poor Mary had concluded he had not arrived, and the great tears were already on her fce when she saw bim. She ran with a half scream of de light and put up her mouth to 'be kissed, but John had only too well prepared him self for his assumed part He greeted her coolly, bardly kissed her and seemed to be ia a lit oi abstraction. Mary wondered, and was about to ask if anything was wrong, when he eaw the tears on her face and asked her what was the matter. She timidly said fihe cried because she did not see him on the train when it came in, for the was already feeling the effects of John's demeanor, and dreaded some unknown evil. John Eharply rebnked her. more severely tbau he had intended, for ce wanted to show on hia great eelf control. His words hurt his wife more than she knew until ehe thought it over, but the tears came to ber eyes, although she said nothing. Tbe walk home w&3 made m silence, ootn now feeling perfectly miserable. John felt sorry he had caused such a state of affairs, and yet he could not admit to his wile bis fault Mary's heart was lull of grief aud bitterness, but the coldness of her husband chanced her in that hour, and she became as cold and reserved as he had tried to ap pear. The supper was eaten in silence, and then the man of the house went to the store ostensibly to make his report, but really to cet out of the unpleasant atmosphere of bis own home. He eat at the office for a long time and thought sorrowfully over his mistake. Finally he went home. Mary was asleep, and be entereb duietly and was himself soon in bed and asleep. Mary's reserve and cold tone were very marked the next morning, and it was John s time to feel aggrieved. He proudly resolved that he would now be the last to yield, and to the two who bad but a few hours ago looked forward to the time when they should be again together, were now utterly miserable, and each wishing to get away from the other as soon as possible. The time passed on, and the breach between Mr. John Smith and his wife widened, and they drifted farther and farther apart as the days went by, until hardly a word was spoken which was not a cutting, harsh or inculnng epithet John began Keeping late hours and Mary went out but little. People talked some, and not a few were there who said that eo sweet a beginning was sure to have a bitter conclusion. All the details of the domestic ruin can not be given here, but the reader may picture to himself the constantly growing coldness until be eees the family broken and tbe wife returning to her parents. A year or more elapses and she files a siit for divorce, which is granted a month later.
