C:J"cissvrr, at the recent municipal election, poUed 51,300 votes, St. Louis 41,000 and Chicago about 03.0C0. I'bohibitiox ia now on trial In 105 of the 137 coant:e3 ia Georgia, and will soon embrace the whole State. Ex-Prisidest Artiicb has arrired at Iiis home in New York. He will practice law after a few months rest. Mrs. Sl'saj L. Smitti has been recommended for postmistress at Windfall, Indiana, by Congressman Ward. Tux New York Evening Post uis that the "vicious elements" left the Democratic party last year and voted the Republican t'ciet. Another member of the Illinois Legislature id dead. Iiis name Is J. H. Shaw, and he represents Cass County in the lower H;u?e. DEAi i-Ksin provisions and military hardware are unanimously of opinion that America can stand an Anglo-Russian war if Xcgl&nd and Russia can. To incendiary articles of the Republican press of Chicago had we 1 nigh worked tha city iuto riot and bloodshed. The tone of yesterday's papen, however, is more mderate. A Washington special says that General 8 waim has made application to the President for a reopening cf his Court-Martial and a review of the finding. The application ha3 been forwarded by the Secretary of War to Major Gardner, who presided over the Courtilartla'. for a report. A Pittsbue Republican paper thinks it would be a good thing for Chicago to establish a vigilance committee there and fores certain citizens out of town. This means riot ard bloodshed. Pittsburg has had a taste ot this sort of thing, and the paper speaks from experience. How the organs do howl about stuffing ballot boxes in Chicago and Cincinnati. Bless their honesty, we heard little of this sort of talk when the Republican party, a minority Organization, was kept in power for years by all sorta of rascality, fraad and violence. Pretty birds to chirp about fraud. Ar a meeting in Cnicago the other night where the election laws were freely denounced by Republicans, it did not eeem to occur to these blatherskites that their party has had control of the Illinois Legislature almost continuously for the last quarter of century. Whatever defect there is in these laws, the Republican party is responsible for. Tai best posted men on the culture of trees denounce tbe prevailing mania of pruning maple trees in March and April, The sap U at this season cf the year going up, and many fine maples are being ruined by the pruning hook of inexperienced persons, or by thoee who simply want to hack at a tree and get pay for it CoLOJEL William E. McLkin, of Tetre Haute, was yesterday appointed First Deputy Commissioner of Pensions. He was a Union soldier, and succeeded a Republican who was not In ths army, so far as we know. We shall look for prompt confirmation by the organs ot the Grand American Order of the Bloody 8hirt. Shall it be taken by consent, gentlemen? or will yon want time to "pollyfox" a little?. Rif khrixo to the fraud velp of the Republican press, the Chicago Times paralyzes it as follows: "It is an old trick of the pick pocket to yell 'stop, thief:' The Republicans ' here seem to appreciate the usefulness of : that method of diverting public attention from their own frauds. Ia half a dozen wards where they Lave the control they kept their vote in the spring election nearly ! up to the f gures of last November, though ; there was only SO per cent of tit? whole November vote cast. In one precinct where they return about -00 more votes than their : proper proportion in tbe ward, the ballot- j box has mysteriously disappeared. The ' De mctratic vote In the city fell off about 10.0C0, while fine work or something of the ; klcd made the Republican loss only half that Yet all the time the Republican organs yell 'fraud!' and ask the public to be- ) lieve that the cheating has been the work of Democrats. It iatime now to hunt down . the real criminals the fellows who are trying to escape in the crowd by shouting 'stop, thief I' " Ir.Iooka as if the Republican gsnjs of Chicago did most of the swindling at the election for Mayor the other day. The Chicago Tirree fires the shot int? them In this fashion: "The gabble of a lot of irrational political dudes and disappointed party organs about f rands In the city election is viciously abeurd. No stronger presumptive proof of the general fairness of the election, so far as the victorious party is concerned, can be desired than is furnished by the fact that in the wards where ' the Democrat are most largely in the majority the falling off in the party'a tote is the greatest If fraud was contemplated anywhere, these wards would naturally have been chosen for the sssne of rperationa. Yet In half a dozen Instance! f he Democratic wards show a much larger redaction of the Democratic than of the Republican vote, as compared with the Novem-

am pie. uaroson's rote tnere is over i.vn holt c! his figures In November, while Smith hs bat 300 votes leas than Oglesbj's score. .The Sixth shows a similar result, Harrison losing about GOO rotes, while the decline of the Republican vote in that ward Is lets than 150. Toe Seventh goes the cane wsj. Harrison losing about 703 votes and Smiin;i50. In the E'ghth Harri? Da fell oiTnear SCO votes, while the republican candidate came within about 200 of the rote Olesby received In November. In some Republican wards, where the Democrats were less confident, they exerted themselves more vigorously, and their proportional lo3ses were st aller.'' THE LEGISLATURE. The Legislature adjourned on Monday sine die. Its work will compare favo -ably with that of any other Legislators of this State. This is Governor Gray's opinioa after having examined carefully all the bills preset ted for his signature. In another column we publish the titles of all the bill- that the Governor has signed. TAMM&NY. There is some talk in the Republican organs which charges certain threats as being icdu'ged in by the Tammany Democracy as to what it will do ia case Mr. Cleveland does not meet the views ot the organization. We are glad to note that at a meeting of Tarnrr any last Friday Light, after the adoption of resolutions expressing sorrow and regret at the present tad condition of General Grant, resolutions were also dorsiog the prompt action the administration to protect of American citieas on passed Intaken by the rights the Isthrum of Panama; recognizing the efficient action of Secretary of the Navy Whitney in promptly dispatching a naval force and material there, and renewing the pledge heretofore given by Tammany Hall of its cordaal support to the present administration by the indorsement of President Cleveland in his application of the policy which his recent appointments indicated. . THE POWER OF CORPOBATIONS. The Maa-achusetts Assembly has rejected a bill providing for the weekly payment of employes by corporations.' It would bs far tlie accommodation and living easa of the employes to be paid weekly instead of conthly. On that point there are no two opinions. Cat it would not be for the convenience of tie mill owners and manufacturers, and so the entireir fair measure was defeated. There may have been learned reenters of the legal profession, who held that to pay for labor as often as weekly, would be unconstitutional. Anyway, the corporations indicated to the Assembly how they desired it bhcnld act, and the members followed instructions. That is the usual way In New England Legislatures. The great manufacturing corporations balldoza the voters and persuade the legislators by wt ys teat are dark. Thanks ba to the Giyer of gcod gifts recent legislative events have demonstrated that it is not yet so in Indiana. II IS 3 SWEET'S INCOME. If the following from a correspondent is correct, the income of Miss Sweet, the Chicago Per eion Agent,has been something enormen?. The ..correspondent addressing the Sentinel, says: According to your editorials you are jsreatly mil informed as to the salary and fees of Miss Ada C. tweet, tbe Pension Agent at Chicago. You Ftate It at M.OcQ per annum lor eleven years trial Idk it &14,0U. There are about 3Q.C03 pensioners on the rolls at Chicago, each of whom are paid four times a year, making 1J0,0"0 individual payments. For eich individual payment she receiTed twenty-fire cents for eiht years ol the time besides her regular salary of H.UJO per year, and -for about three years at the rate of fifteen cean and her $1,000 alary, so you will see tbat for the first eight years she pot for paying S),0OO pensioners foes i.'W.ku and salary $:U.Ci)j making J.TiOOO for the first eight years. Add to this what she ha received at tbe rate of Iii teen cents for each Individual payxaeDt you wlii see that the fees are $19,000 per ytar sml the salary f 1,000, making 12,000 per year or $ ,01.0 for the tbree pait years making a grand loul received by Miss Sweet for the eleven years In fees and salary of f JCS.Otf). Quite "A (C) Sweat" plum. Besides the foregoing gha is allowed eo much for clerk hire and expensss. So you will see that the shore is clear money to her except what tbe may bare bad to pay to tbe corruption loud of the Republican party. MONOPOLY RECEIVES A. HINT. That was a worthy action of the Senate on yesterday which consummated a law compelling a reduction of the tolls of .telephone companies operating In Indiana. Thess companies are a part and parcel of the American Bell Telephone Company, which latter is largely owned and controlled by the Western Union Telegraph Company.Jthe combination being a double-beaded monopoly, imposing the meanest extortions upon the people. A formidable pressure was brought to bear upon the Senators by American Bell Telephone and Western Union men and money. There is no question but that enormous suss would glady have been paid by them to secure ths defea of the Williams Telephone bill. Lawyer and lobbyists for days hung about the corridors of the Senate and the hotels of Senators. With its eye upon their movements, the Sentinel sounded a warning of their designs. The it sue made by the Williams bill was a clearly defined one between monopoly and the people. Tbe Senate, by a vote of 3 i to 1:.', stood by the people and passed the bilL Representative Williams deserves a hearty "well done!' for having introduced the bill, and for his earnest following of ii to Its pass ge by the Senate. We congratulate the thirty four members of the Senate who demonstrated their interest in the welfare of their constituents. pureANOTHER TELLER TRICK. What a genuine typ of genuine blocded Republicanism the late Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Teller, is. The more his record is investigated the more does he b!azs and shine as a bright particular star in the galaxy of Republicanism. Among his last acts as the bead of the Interior Department was to Issue an order to a gang of land speculators in Dakota, throwing open the resera tions of the Crow-Creek Indians to settlement. The Winnetagoes are now occupyice the land. A correepondent of the St Louis Republican leu the daylight through thh tcheme. The Winnebagoes, it seems, had no notice cf this Teller movement and within a faw hours after the order was given a swarm of whites coolly proceeded to "preempt" the farms which tbe Winnebajoes have cultivated for years. They protested tbat they were Included ia the treaty of ISls, which guaranteed thllr lands from seizure without their consent, and again io tha Sioux Agreement made In 1332, by which the

Government promised to secure to each Indian family a certain amount of land. The effect of Teller's order was to rob them of everything, and it was baied upon tne quibble that as this reservation is separated from that of the 81aux by the Missouri Hirer, it was not protected by these treaties, although they were meant to cover it. The Indians of courss have resented Urs attempt to steal their lands, end the new commissioner, Atkins, having examined into the matter, decided a few days since that Teller's action is null and void because the reservation is protected by tha treaty o! 1SC8. The Interior Department will recommend to the President that Teller's order be revoked, and it ia expected that this will be done. Justice in this esse thus promise to be epeedy end effective. The country is at last to have an honest Indian policy and an honest administration of Indiaa affsir?. This will be an important feature of President Cleveland's administration. His se'ection of Atkins to be Commissioner cf Indian A flairs bids fair to be exceedingly fortunate

FORFEITED TEXAS AND PACIFIC RAILWAY GRANTS. The Sentinel has received the following information from the General Land Oilica: You are advised that the lands granted to the Texas and Pacifio Rail way Company, which we e declared forfeited and restored to tbe pubi'c domsia by the act of Congress, approved February 2H, iss5, are the sections and parts ot sections, designated by odd numbers, within forty miles on each side of tbe line of eeneral route of said company's toad through tho Southern part of the Territories ot New Mexico and Arizona, and within twenty miles oa eacn side of stid line (ouUide tbe limits of the grant for the Branch Line of the Southern Pacific Kallroal) ia Southern Ca i'ornia, Said linda are now subject to entry under tbe pre-emption, homestead and other Renerl laws relating to UDotferel lands at the local United States Land Offices of Las C'ruces, New Mexico Terrllory; Tucson and Prescott, Arizona Territory, and lxx Angeles, California, and are rated as double miniinunOand (i2.W per acre) under the pre-emption and homestead laws, except in casas where settlement was prior to tbe date ot receipt at tbe local office of tbe order withdrawing them for the benefit of the railroad grant. The above described lands embrace some of the raost fertile and most desirable of the public domain, and upon much of which the Texas and Pacific Railway Company had placed a high price. Actual settlers, wh prcpoeejtaking up Government lands in tbe Southwest, will do well lo turn their steps in the direction of. these forfeited strips, which are thrown open to the pnV.ic for pre-emption or homestead claims after having teen practically reserved for many years pact, during which time moat of the remaining desirable lands in the vicinity of these have been taken up. What a contrast to this action of Secretary Lamar is that of his predecessor, Senator Teller. The former, with the interest and welfare cf the peop?e at heart, compels a powerful railroad company to disgorge a big slice cf the public domain, which it had not earntd and was trying to absorb without complying with the terms cf the grant Ex Secretary Teller while in cSice was, on the other hand, the friend and champion of railroad corj orations and land grabbers, and kept an extra force of clerks busy, nights &nd Sundays included, making out patents for 700,000 acres of public lands in Loaisiana, conveying them to a railroad company which had not even pretended to carry out the provisions of the stipulations had not built the road, cer does it expect to. A more infamous steal was never perpetrated than this act of Senator Teller when that champion of monopolies was Secretary of the Interior. Nor did his infamy etop here. He is found guilty cf having taken from Indian tribes their reservations, directly in violation of lhe titles given them In treaties, which our Government is bound to respect, as deter rniced by recent Supreme Court decisions in the premises. Hid tbe Government remained in the hands of a Republican administration another four years there would have been little left of tbe public domain at the end of that time it would have gone almost bodily into the capacious maw of a powerful railroad corporations, through such outrageous laud grab processes as that adopted by Senator Teiler and his ilk, and as characterized the several Republican adniinstrations Or the past twenty years. CLEVELAND AND THE COLORED RACE. We are not reading in the Republican prints of the day any accounts of the attempt to return the colored race in the South to slavery, which six months ago they prophesied would follow the election of Mr. Cleveland. We have not read since election day of one "Southern outrage." We recall no post-election complaints of a single colored pertoa being denied one civil right So far ai heard from the colored brother in the South Is chearily singirg "speed the plough" behind the languid mule, or pnrsu ing the tonsorisl art, or waiting upon the hotel table, or sitting in the L?gUlative hall, with no indications of being the less prosperous, contented or free because of the ascendency of the Democratic party. Indeed, what reports we do have from the oolorcd race are of a complexion indicating positive satisfaction with the change of administrationthis from the race in the North as well as in the öjuth. In Texas, Rev. W. R. Carton, a colored man of acknowledged influence among his race, and who was for teveral years Secretary of the Republican State Executive Committee, has just issued the following appeal to the peop'e of his color: This Is to certify that I, V. R. Garsoa, do this day sever my connection with tbe Republican party, after having been a member ot the party and nerved it truly since 1&77, and have never voted for a Democrat since the time mentioned. I bare watched the Republican party, and And it a fraud. Judging by such men aj A. B. Norton. Arch Cochran, Judge McKee, and o.hers I coall mention, who have fooled ns for ten years. I ; this day bid them farewell, and ask all colored i men to follow mein this resolve. If any white man wi&he lo kuow who 1 am, ak Messrs. Cobb & ATcry. oa cirn street, wno nave known me from a child in old North Carolina where l was a slave aad troo to my master until tbe war cloied. and from tbat time li'.l thli day have bee: faithful to the Republican party. Since Mr. Cleveland's election I have considered the whole matter, and afck the colored people to change their political views and come over to tbe Lord's side. The position Mr. Carson has held in tbe Republican rarty proves him familiar with the actuating spirit of that party. He is evidently speaking from the book. Since he Is asking no f&Tort from the Demorracyit must be supposed that he has uttered his convictions. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, a colored journalist of New York and a min of ability, whether measured with b'ack or white men, writes his views to the New York Evening Post He finds that the colore! men are just as eager to accept ofli .e under a Democratic administration as they were' under a-Republican one, and that, to 3, without regard to their former attitude or present claim "I do not know, he writes, that Mr. Cleveland intends to appoint any

colored men to office or to contlnae In place thoee now holding o3i'ce who do not coma within the purview of the civil service regulations; nor does the matter give ne any great deal of concern. It Is a thing which Mr. Cleveland and his advisers will regulate as they may deem wicestfor the general good and the good cf their party. I am convinced that they are eminently capable of deciding in either case for tha best." It does appear time that the colored race should understand that the colored people should appreciate that 'the Republican party has used them deceit! ally and solely for sinister purposes. How significant of this Is the fact that the Republican organs never Indulge in expressions of interest in them never discover any wrongs done them to prate abcut except during political campaigns! No wonder the prominent colored mf a. North and South, hare awakened to the frauds that have been practiced upon their race by the Republican party and b?gun to appeal to those of their race to turn from those who have falsely pretended disinterested friendship for them while really only

panderiDg to their votes for partisan strength, the benefits of which have Bever been shared with the colored race. VALUA3LE HEALTH HINTS. TLe annual report of the State Board of Health rxaSe recently to the New York Ltgidature tray be of benefit to those interested iu euch matters in our own State. It declares diphtheria has found lodgment in nearly every part of tbe State, counting in cine rronthB, 2.CS3 recorded victims. The deaths certified S3 from typhoid fever numbered H31, tbe larger proportion occurring in villages and rural districts. Diarrheal diseases have carried off 7,30 perso'ns, (he deaths being dittributed impartially in urban and rural districts. The three maladies named typify "filth diseases," their fatality being everywhere regarded a Indicating pollution of air and, water by decomposed or ganic usually excrement matter. Dr. Carroll jcys nine tenths o! the wells in Tillages are Impregnated with sewage. It is not through drinking water alone that filth poisoning exhts; it con, es as 'well from polluted air, from filth Bcdden earth, etc Cere brospinal feer, associated with faulty house draiDRge, has shown itself in scattered districts in all sections of the State, with a mor tslity record cf 287. Erjtipelaa caused 200 deaths, and malarial fevers SCO. Making no allowance for deficient returns from some of twenty-two cities with their conjoined population of 2.011,153, and estimating the whole population ol the State at 5.550,000, we have a remainder of 2 703.813, which, if the annual death rate did notxceed 17 per 1.000 would give for the nine months Ul,l'j deaths. In renrection with thess data attention is called in the report to some information repajjirg the cholera, which Is quits as valuable in Indiana as in New York. In the face of a possible importation cf cholera it is important that ths datks of bcal authorities should be contc'entlously and energetically performed, and the werk thus done will in no cate le wasted, The Asiatic scourge is not cot tsg!ous from the person; its seed must find a toil outeide ef the body to multiply in, and this Ecil is filth. An index to the potential ravages of imported cholera in any gnen locality is the epidemic presence of typhcid lever and diarrhea, and measures adepted to repel the exotic pestilence will bear their fruit in preventing the latter diseases also. Pcriiy of water, soil, and air, the prompt and thorough removal of all sources of pollution by decomposing organic filth, will deprive foreign or dc rue stic epidemics of all their terrors. That thorough soil drainage will abate malarial fevers is a lact placed beyond conjecture or argument. Apart from natural marsh lends in the various smaller districts, artificial and rxalarial influences have Seen created by the injudicieus action of municipalities or private land owners in obstructing the drainage channels of water courses, and thus inducing soil saturation where nature bad provided healthful conditions. The influence of defective school hygiene ia a subject deserving the careful consideration and watchful care of health boards, as it a fleets the welfare of coming generations. The agency of school intercourse in disseminating infectious diseases is everywhere recognized, and in all well-ordered sanitary districts a rule exists prohibiting the return to school of any pupil convalescent from con tagious febrile disorders without a medical certificate that the risk of infection ia past THE PEOPLE'S PAPER There ended on Saturday, by the passage of the Williams Telephone bill in the Senate, a vigorous contest before the Legislature between a monster monopoly and tbe interests of the business people of Indiana. The Central Telephone Company, a branch of the American Bell Telephone Company, baa been ex' Mng from $1 to (3 per month rental for ea.h of the several thousand lelepbones in use in Indiana. This shameless extortion met a foe in Representative S. W. Williams, of Vincennes, who Introduced a bill in the House to reduce the tolls from jo to $3 per month for the use of single telephone, and from $1 to $2 50 per instrument where one renter had two or more in use. The bill was passed by the House with only 12 votes against it Upon its being transmitted to the Senate officers and stockholders of the Central Telephone Company, the American Bell Telephone Company and the Western Union Telegraph Company the three corporations belog substantially one and the same assembled In Indianapolis from various cities to work for the defeat of the bill. Tbcss were supple-EL-entcd by a corps of lobbyists, and throughoct last week the most active lobbying done daring the Esssion was carried on. This proceeding was before the eyes of the Indianapolis press, and yet of all the papers here, cot another one than the Sentinel uttered one word in behalf of the bill and the interests of the people of tbe State represented by the bill. While the Sentinel was daily making an earnest fight for tbe parsage of the measure, its ccn temporaries, one and all, were dumb as eysters. The extortion of the monopoly was so flagrant that nene of them dared champion it and even tbe two Senators who spekefagaiest the bill made no claim that the tells sought tobe reduced were not extortionate. That tbe other papers ahould maintain silence upon a controversy pregnant with auch importance to the bruinesa Interests of the State la passing strange. Bat certain It is that they were oppressively

silent and the Sentinel was left to champion the people entirely alone. But tor the Sentinel's exposure of ths wicked extortions cf the telephone monopoly and its strenuous advocacy of the WiUiams Telephone bill the latter would not have become law. Even a prominent Republican Senator has volunteered to say so much of the Sentinel. Remembering that the people of the State will be caved not less than $59,000 per annum by th's one act of legislation, we naturally feel rejoiced over it and will be pardoned for pointing with pride to our participation in the good work. And there is ample evidence In this cae that the Sentinel Is the laper for the people.

INJUSTICE TO THE RED MAN. Indian Commissioner Adkins betrays his isnorsnceof human nature and his lack of experience, by stating that be docs not believe there will be any trouble or difficulty la removing the more than 3,tC0 settlers on the Crow Creek and innebsgo lands. Mr. Adkins evidently believes tbat poor and hard working settlers, who earn by boncbt toil whatever they msy hsvo, like nothing; better than belüg the shuttlecocks of a Nation's blundering battledore, knocked aimlesly from place to place. lithe settlers In those lands are rrade to vacate without amends, and go without trouble or forcible remonstrance, they are not made of the stuff, which, according to popular theory, forms the framework of our hardy pioneers. Minneapolis Tribune. "Betrays his ignorance of human nature" indeed! That is just what Commissioner Adkins does not do. On the contrary, be felly understand i human r a tare so well as to know that those white "sellers" are a band of squatters who have undertaken to absorb the Crow Creek and Winnebago lands a to Oklahoma boomer style, without any right or title. There are plenty of first-class lands belonging to Uncle Sam to which "poor and hard-working settlers" who are prompted by just and honest motives can acquire legitimate claims under the homestead, pre-emption and other laws. Tbe ' .'1,000 etttlera" who have entered upon Indian reservations, which were properly ceded to them by our Government years ego by a just and proper treaty, have no rights whatever to those lands. The pimple truth of the matter is that an immense pressure was brought to bear upon Preeident Arthur to open up theee lands to settlement These importuning him to do this were determined to take these fine reservations from the red man, right or wrong, arl were rcsdy en masse to rush in, crowd out the Indians, and take possession of their homes, their im prove meots, their everything, which they did exactly do as soon as the excuse was given them by a carcleBS and indifferent republican President and his land-grabbing.Sacretarv Teller. The Government rue de no mistake when by treaty it promised to protect the Indian in the enjoyment of his own. It Is the red men who nave been ' the shuttlecocks of a Nation's blundering battledore, knocked aimlessly from place to p'ace." President Cleveland's administration will sift to the bottom this whole matter of the se questration cf Indian reservations, which has been going on almost ad libitum for yean. AU the wrongs and abuses Inflicted upon the aborigines willbe shown up in their horrible rcelity, end it wi'Lreveal a fearfal showing of "man's inhumanity to man." The Chicago Tribune for quite a wonder, is Erdirg fault with the Republican members cf the Illinois Legislature. It remarks Tcr two weeks past Republican absentee ism has been conspicuous, and the proceed ings of the Legislature have been mainly confined to going through with the form ot a ballot for Senator; then adjourning for the day and scuttling off home, instead1 going i . t. i . n w-r w . . cacs to ineir respective üouseä ana pmeci ing bills or formulating some o! the measures which are so imperatively needed." At theinner given recently in New York to Mr. Henry Irving, the distinguished English actor, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, after remarking that he supposed his hearers were surprised to find him at the dinner, said: "I was born of old Puritan stock with all the pou polar prejudices against tbe sttge. I was tauebt tbat the theater was the devil's house; tbat an actor was unregenerate and Irredeemable, and an actress beyond words. In theie belief, I retrained from attending theaters. Ooce, not long aeo. I turned the thing over in my mind. I said: Now. you are robust, fortiiied by family surrounlug?, and seventy years old, wouldn't It te well to corroborate the opinion of seventy years' standing by going once to a theater? ( Loud laughter and applause. Somebody asked me if tbe example would be all right. I replied that it would, as the theater must be .harmless to anyone who waited until he was seventy years old before he went. I Great laughter. What was tbe result? I will not bdcsk ot the temptation and fall, but tbe temptation and rise. 1 tasted the forbidden fruit and since then have eaten o! every apple that came in my way. Laughter and c'ieers. 1 shall dream of Ophelia and see Miss Terry aa long as I live. I Cheers. I There have keen in spots many Beatrices, but now 1 know what Beatice ix. 1 can say that Mr. living has touched mauyof the deepest snd truest chrds of icy nature, and after ne has gone I may feel that thi; autumn of life has set in." As Mr. Beecher concluded Mr. Irving bowed gracefully to hira, and the assemblage rcse and cheered the revereud gentleman. Marie Van Zisut is said to have made her first appearance on the stage at a charity concert in Groton, Mass., where she lived as a child, thirty or more years ago. We feel tbat we are doing the public a favor in calling their attention particularly to Hood's Sarsapariila. This is not a patent medicine, but a proprietary article, possessing real curative properties, and its effects npen the Blood are very positive. Spring Debility, Biliousness, Dyspepsia and ail trochlea causcd by impure blood readily yield to this excellent medicine. We think those who give it a trial for that "out of torts" feeling from which so many suffer and which is peculiar to this season, will be quite satisfied with the results. An Indiana Alan. Capla'n Richard H. Collum, of the ravy, who, according to recent dispatches, was ordered to A spin wall with a force of marines, is a native of Indiana, having formerly lived at Jeffersonviile and afterward at Shelbyville, but now living in the East He is soon to be placed on the retired list under naval regulations. Captain Collum is a man ot tine appearance and wide experience. He spent a rtnmber of years in the Chinese waters, and while there made himself familiar with the" customs, etc., of the Celestials. He gave one or two lectures on the subject when home on a furlough, which were of great interest He also has supplied bis children with cunerous Chinese toys of rare pattern, and has hia home filled with all sorts of Chinese and Japanese toys, wares, puzzles, etc., which never fail to furnish amusement to the visitor who calls on tbe gallant Captain and his family. In the midst of rheumatic or neura'gio torture, It is pleasant to feet a masterly remedy moving through your system, driving out tbe pangs and freeing the tied joints. Writing of Athlophoroe the champion remedyMr. George Haden, Fair Haven, Conn., says: "Have been a victim of Neuralg'a for years. During the last attack, tried Athlopboros. Its effect was truly wonderful. After the second dose I felt it all through rre, and my pain was gone. In three hoars I was able to reeama work, and have not been troubled elnce."

Their Condition as Compared With the Same Period Last Year, The Indiana Farmer will this week contain an exhaustive resume of the cropi in this and other Scates, frm reports gathered by men employed specially for that purpose, and from these the Sentinel is enabled to give the following estimates: The wheat plant is very hardy, and unlees the roots were broken by the freezing there is a possibility for a belter crop than now appears. From tables compiled by the Farmer it appears that the lowest condition for wheat iu Indiana is In the Southern division, while in the Central it is better, and in the Northem the best, like conditions prevailing in the same sections ot Ohio andf Illinois. The per cent o wheat sown is So, and the condition K Last year at same date crop sown was '3, condition bG. The condition of clover is placed at 78, and timothy at 91 per cent., being a higher condition than was reported at this time last year. For apples the condition is reported at Ts, and peaches at 41, bat only a few counties reported peaches at all, and these in the southern division. Under the condition of live stock the per cent, is reckoned at nearly the same as at the correpondirg date last year, horses being mj rattle I'll, hegs ll and sheep '.'2 per cent. The Department of Agriculturoat Washington has reports to the effect that there ia about .'-0 per cent of last year's wheat crop yet in farmers' hands, being a greater amount than at the same date last year. The Farmer finds that this is true in torus localities, but the per cent, is msch less in others, there being very little difference between this year and last at the same date. Indiana Inventors.
