Our Little Grandchild. Cleansed, Purified and Beautified by the Cuticura Remedies. It affords me pleasure to give yon thlg report f the cure of our little grandchild by your Cuticura Remedies. Whea six months old his lelt hand began to swell and hsd every appear ance of a large boil. We poulticed it, bat all to no purpose. About five months after it became a running sore, boon other Bores formed. lie then had two of them on each hand, and as bis blood became more and more impure it took less time for them to break out. A sore came on the chin, beneath the under lip, which was Tery offensive. His head wag one solid scab, discharging a great deal. This was his condition at twenty-two months old, when I undertook the care of him, his mother having died when he was a little more than a year old, ot consumption (scrofula, of course). He could walk a little, but could uot get up if he fell down, and could not move when in bed, having no use of his hands. I immediately commenced with the Cuticura Remedies, using the Cuticura and Cuticura Soap freely, and when he had taken one bottle of the,' Cuticura Resolvent his bead was completely cured, and he was improved in every Way. We were very mtich encouraged, and continued the use of the Remedies lor a year and a half. One sore after another Sealed, a bony matter forming in each of these five deep ones-just before healing, which would finally prow loose and were taken out, then they would heal rapidly. One of these ugly bone formations I preserved. After taking a dozen and a lialf bottles he was completely cured, and is now at the age of six years, a stroDg and healthy child. The scars on his bands must always remain: his hands arc strong, though we once leared ha would never be able to use them. All that physicians did for him did him no good. All who saw the child before using the Cuticura Hemedies and see the child now consider it a wonderful cure. If the above facts are of any use to you, yon are at liberty to use them. MR3. E. S. DRIGGS, May 9, 1SS5. C12 E. Clay St., Bloomington, 111. The child was really In a worse condition than 31b appeared to his grandmother, who, being with him every day, became accustomed to the disease. MAGGIE HOPPLNG. Cuticura Remedies are sold everywhere.

Pain. Inflammation and Weakness of the Kidneys, llips and Sides relieved In one minute by the Cntlcnra Anti-Pain Piaster. New and infallible. At druggists, 25c. Potter Drug and Chemical Co., Boston. The results of the town elections through out the State indicate that the Democratic fiag ia still there. Haeeison County reports the los3 of a iarge and handsome bridge during the recent freshet. It cost $0,000 and was located near Corydon. TnzY have discovered natural gas in Arizona and Mexico, but of the volcanic sort. It does not promote a business boom in the region. The order of the Knights of the Switch is increasing in Indiana. Recently they organized in Delaware County and gave an inhuman monster, who had been so cruel to a child as to cause its death, a very generous alio wan ze of buggy whip. He left for unknown shores. Doe?et has juEt returned from Earope. He was interviewed, of course, as soon as he landed in New York. lie said, among other things, that "he had worked hard for ihe Republican party, had canted Indiana, and then that they had tried to put him in jail." His own party, however, did not try .very hard "to put him in jail." What breaks the Republican heart in Kew Albany just at this time is the information that almost the entire colored vote of that city waa last Tuesday cast for the Democratic ticket Borne of the prominent supporters of the Democratic candidates were colored men who had heretofore acted with the Republican party. Tee Democrats of Shelby ville deserve the banner. The Republicans had held the mayoralty for twelve years, bat the Democrats have finally overcome the Republican majority, and a Democrat has been voted into the cilice. It is an important victory in many respect?, not the least of which is that it shows the Democrats of Shelby County, like the Democrats of Marion, are in very good health, in complete harmony, and in a comSative frame of mind. Cexeeal Ro-er, a Virginian hearing that General I'uil Sheridan contemplated a trip tbrocgh the Shenandoah Valley, writ 03 to a friend that he hopes he may make the trip in peace, but advises the inhabitants of that section to let him travel hle a crow, carrying his rations with him," General Rosser remembers what was quoted as comics from General, Sheridan at the time of the famcus raid. He said that the valley should be eo thoroughly devastated that even a crow should not find enough to eat, but be forced to carry his rations with him. It is announced in a New York dispatch that Miss Rose Cleveland, the sister of the TrePident, will be asoclated with a Mrs. Reed in the management of a young ladies' school in New York City. The negotiations between Mrs. Reed and Miss Cleveland have just been concluded after a correspondence extending over a number of weeks. Miss Cleveland will become Mrs. Ped's first assistant, and will deliver lectures on American history. Miss Cleveland is to devote her entire attention to her new duties, it having been stipulated that she is not to engage in newspaper or magazine work. Whatever Stephen W. Dorsey may lack, it ia not a level head. He is a shrewd political observer. The Democracy may secure a pointer from the following observation that Dorsey made recently to a New York reporter who interviewed him on the political outlook. Mr. Dorsey said : "The people living in the villages and hamlets, and all those in the country, men who have been fighting for the Democratic party for the last quarter of a century without success, now find after having elected a President that they have been working all these years to keep Republicans in office. All that a country Democrat knows about national Democratic success is symbolized in the town Postmaster. He a Republican Postmaster La his village and a Democratic President at Washington. It is impossible Jor him to harmonize these two facts." R. E. Rcbutsox, in his suit against Hon. 'A- G. Smith to recover damages on an injunction bond, omit to allege that he la ihe Lieutenant-Governor of Indiana, or lhat ha has been damaged by loss of all per diem as President of the Senate. That

allegation is proper, and the loss of his per diem a necessary element of damage. Now, query. Does he not admit by these omissions that he is not the LieutenantGovernor of Indiana? Does not the failure to sue. for his per diem admit that he has no right to recover it in an action where such a charge would be a legitimate element ot damage? The Colonel is not yet out of the woods, and before he gets through perhaps the people will know whether it was constitutional to elect a Lieutenant-Governor in November, 188G.

SOME OLD-TIME "BOOMS." The caution of the Sentinel a few days ago against allowing the prospects of prosperity opened up by the force of "natural gas" against eld obstructions to hurry on a "boom" that, by haste and hard pressure, might take on a final and fatal syllable and become a boomerang, suggests that there may be some interest to the general reader in tracing the course and consequences of some of the most conspicuous of the "booms" of olden times. Human nature is as unchangeable as the eternal hills. The follies of one generation reappear in the next, and follow on the same track from age to age. The experience of the past teaches nothing to to-day, except as the philosophical historian applies it. The allurements that fooled the victims of the "South Sea scheme" are just as potent now as they were 175 years ago. The history of projects that attract the curiosity or cupidity of men will teach nothing and harm nobody now, but they are not without interest as illustrations of the principle in question, that civilization, however it may change the conditions of society, does not in the least change the qualities of its members. "Is not one man as good as another?' asked the orator of a political meeting. "Yes," answered an Irishman, "and better too." It does not matter at which end of the historical line you begin, you will find one man much the same as another, or a little more so. The wise men ot this generation have gone as wildly into preposterous but promising speculations as the fools made by Harley or John Law. Dickens didn't overdo the thing much when he organized his "Universal Hot Muffin and Crumpet Company," and Hudson, "the railroad king," as he was called, certainly made as many victims of absurd or rascally operations as any speculator a hundred years before. This moralizing has no reference to the "gas boom" here, or any speculation anywhere, but refers only to the tendency of human nature to run wild under provocations of big profits on small investments, directed by the managing genius of some man who understands human nature at least, if he understands nothing else. If Livy had recorded all the incidents of the expulsion of the Tarquins, we suspect that the abandoned royal property would have been shown a fruitful source of speculation. Lots in the "Campus Martins" would hare run much the same course that they are now doing in the real estate speculations of Muncie or Kokomo. We don't intimate that the speculative impulse might be as weak or temporary, but that the Roman, like the Hoosier, would be attracted by the chance of making money. Solid benefit in the progress of a "boom" lies in allowing it to develop itself by natural "evolution." If It is hurried by speculation it is as likely to smash the "golden egg" as to hatch it into marketable poultry. The two most conspicuous cases of speculative "boom" of which we have any record began within a few years of each other, one in England, the other in France, but both originated by Englishmen in the first quarter of the last century. The "South Sea scheme" was the suggestion of Hariey, Earl of Oxford, with the very honest purpose of providins for the payment of the floating national debt, amounting to $30,000,000, and thus improving the credit of the Government An association of prominent merchants took this debt upon condition of the payment by the Government of 6 per cent, interest, which the Government was to assure by the performance of certain duties. As an incident of this great negotiation, the Government guar anteed to the association a monopoly of the trade to the South Seas, whence came the name of the "South Sea Scheme." This was in 1711, the association of merchants being then incorporated as the "South Sea Company." The expectations of profit from the trade with South America gave the company a "boom" such as few business operations have ever had. The&e expectations never found any fulfillment; but the expedition of a single ship six years after the company was formed, but the importance of the company remained unchanged It was a great monetary affair, and though nothing was done to cany out tie purpose of its organization, it remained as solid and assure a structure In general estimation as if it had ships all along the South American coast from Cape Horn to Panama. Its stock constantly improved. The war with Spain in 1713, though fatal to all hope of advantage from Bharing Spanish trade with the Spanish colonies, did not disturb It, The disastrous failure of Law's "Mississippi Scheme," which had been put in operation some years later, made no difference to the devotees of Mammon in the "South Sea Scheme." In 1720 they saw a chance to push speculation to a point never attempted before and probably never, certainly but rarely, since. They proposed to assume the whole national debt of Great Britain on a guaranty of 5 per cent, interest for seven and a half years, when the Government, at its pleas ure, could resume or redeem the debt and reduce the interest to i per cent. A debt held at 4 per cent, must have been a strong temptation to the financiers of one hundred and sixty yean ago. Eo it is hardly to be wondered at that Parliament accepted it by a vote in the Commons of 172 to 55 and In the Lords by 83 to 17. The wisest men of that day protested in both houses against ao dangerous a measure as the assumption of a national debt by a private corporation, but it was all for nothing against the strong but delusive attraction of a cheap relief from a national burthen. Sir Robert Walpole, the shrewdest statesman In En glish history, whose characterization by Thackeray ia a model of honest portraiture,

led the opposition in the House, Lord North, Lord Gray, the Duke of Wharton and Earl Cowper protested in the Lords, but all argued to no purpose. The fluctuations of the company's stock during this contest and for some time after have no parallel in any "bull" and "bear" conflict of later days. It rose when the bill of transfer passed to 330. April 7, 1720, and fell off 4p the next day. From this time the whole affair became as purely a speculative an operation as any "corner" in wheat or oil ever attempted. The stock was run up by rascally shrewdness to 550 on May 23 and 890 on June 1. Then a panic tumbled it to 6-10 on June 3, and the directors went in to help it up, and it went up the same day to 750. By the 1st of August it went to 1,000, and then the managers sold out. In five weeks the slock fell to 400, the country became excited, the Bank of England would give no aid, the cashiers (the Sword-blade Company) failed, and the great "South Sea bubble" bursted. The country demanded the punishment of the rascally managers. Parliament made a most damaging investigation, first forbidding any of the directors to leave the country or dispose of their property. It was found that the Earl of Sunderland and Duchess of Kendal ar1 other nobles had been bribed to aid the company in Parliament with $350,000 of stock. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Ainslabie, waa mixed ud with the villainy. The noble scoundrels were acquitted, of course, but the others were expelled from Parliament if members, the directors were imprisoned, and the property of all waa confiscated. An adjustment of the real stock and valuable property ot the company was made, and thus at the close of 1720 came the end of the great "South Sea Scheme," or "Bubble."

MR. GRIFFIN'S COSTLY BLUNDER. Secretary of State Griffin has committed a blunder which, for gross ignorance and culpable carelessness, is without parallel. We have received a copy of the acts of 1SS7, duly bound, and bearing the Secretary's signature. It is a very small volume, and its contents are very quickly ascertained. One would have supposed that Mr. Griffin had at least brains enough to Issue this volume properly, but it Is evident he hasn't. He seems to have supposed that it would be sufficient to fill the book with the acts of the General Assembly, and, accordingly, he has not published an abstract of the receipts and disbursements of the State Treasury as required by the Constitution (R. B. 1SS1, Sec. 19G). Mr. Griffin claims to be a lawyer, bat it is very clear that he is not familiar with the Constitution of the State. The Supreme Court has decided that constitutional provisions are mandatory. Now what are the consequences of Mr. Griffin's idiocy ? The laws can not be duly circulated and published until the financial abstract is printed with them. Governor Gray may not, and we presame will not, issue a proclamation declaring that the laws are duly published in this incomplete volume which Mr. Griffin is scattering over the face of the State. Mr. Griffin will now have to reprint the 1,600 copies authorized by law, or recall those he has sent out and add the abstract. This will cost the State a very pretty sum. If he deter mines to recall the copies he has distributed, the backs will have to be torn oil and the abstract stitched in, and the index cor rected. This will cost a great deal of money. We believe no State officer has ever be fore Ehown such deplorable and mischiev ous incompetence. There can be no excuse for such egregious ignorance of the State Constitution on the part of a State officer sworn to obey it. Mr. Griffin has not had the discretion to read even so much of it as relates to the administration of his own office. And this costly blunder is not the only one Mr. Griffin has made. It is one of a series. He has demonstrated thoroughly his incapacity. Under the previous Democratic management of the oflice its business was conducted in an orderly way, but under the Republican Mr. Griffin it is miserably managed, and it is almost impossible to find any papers or get any information from the office. The difference in the administration since a Republican took charge is manifest, to the utter disgust of all who have any business with the office. Mr. Griffin's continuous display of in competence has reached a climax in the omission of the financial abstract from the volume of the acts. If he had even had tin sense to examine any of the previously published volumes he would have seen that the abstract was a necessary part of It. Mr. Griffin's time since his induction appears to have been devoted mainly to schemes having as their object the injury of the credit of other State officials who have happened to be Democrats. In every instance he has been caught and made to submit a practical apology. Possibly it is better for the Interests of the State at large that he should divert himself in this way, for the chances are that the more assiduously he may exert himself to perform the duties of Secretary of State the worse it will be for the State. . There is one small consolation, however, four months of Mr. Griffin's term have expired. PETER PINDAR. A correspondent asks: "Was there ever inch a man as 'Peter Pindar,' or is that an assumed name? I used to see In some one of our school books a funny story, in verse, of a countryman and a razor-Beller to the effect that the seller cheated the countryman with a lot of cast-iron razors and then told him they were not made to shave, but to sell, and the author was reter Pindar. I have long wanted to know more of such a comical genius, and never have learned whether Peter Pindar was a real man or a myth." He was a real man, and about the most troublesome man George III. ever encountered outaide of politics. But his real name wai Dr. John Wolcct. Most of the intelligent readers of this country, as well as England, have laughed at his comical story of "George IIL and the apple-dumplings," In Which the King ia made to ask the old woman who made the dumplings, "how the devil she got the apple In," If she didn't sew it in and leave a seam? His account of the King's visit to Whltbread's brewery is even more comical, but not so

widely read these days. It was from this satire that Henry Clay quoted the couplet with which he once demolished some little antagonist. The author compares the King peeping into one of the big vats in the brewery to a magpie. "A bird for curiosity well known, With head awry and canning eye, Peeps knowingly into a marrow-bone." Clay applied it to some opposing Senator whose peculiarities made it fit Smith, of Connecticut, we believe and silenced him. Two of his best "hits" were at old Dr. Johneon and Boswelh his biographer. The latter he compares in his relation to the former to "a tomtit twittering on an eagle's back." Of the doctor he says: "I own I like not Johnson's turgid style, Which gives an Inch the Importance ot a mile." The reader will readily see in this another form o! the same acute criticism that Goldsmith applied to Johnson's ponderous style: "If you were writing a fable of little fishes you would make little fishes talk like whales." Peter Pindar was a formidable satirist in his day coarse and not over decent at times, bat shrewd and witty and fearless, and spared for no age or sex, or respectability of station or character. He even hinted that Burke's mouth" might be closed by a comfortable "sup" of public porridge. He lived to be eighty-one years old, but the last years of life left him silenced by a pension. When he couldn't sting he couldn't sing.

Washington C. DePacw has left many monuments testifying to his usefulness in his day and generation. The State of Indiana has never had a cithen worthier of the regard of his fellow-men. The marvelously successful architect of his own fortunes, he advanced himself in the public regard by using his wealth for the promotion of noble causes. His philanthropy was sincere and intelligent. Like Mon tell ore, he was a strong pillar of the religion he professed, and like Peabody, he gave force to great educational enterprises, and, like them both, he strove to win honor for lfimself by doing rood. He was devoted to the Methodist Episcopal Church, being the most distinguished layman in America. Though he had in his youth enjoyed no educational advantages whatever, he gave a million dollars to the university at Greencastle which now bears his name. He had founded other schools before, educated preachers and built churches. He was never weary in well-doing in these directions. And while giving with bounteous hand to such benevolent objects, he continued an.active man of affairs. Great Industrial and financial enterprises were developed and supported by his energy and sagacity. Such are the nation's greatest men. He sought no political distinctions, preferring to attain, by success in commercial life, and by stimulating the potentialities of religion and education, recognition as a factor for good in these several spheres. Such man always die too early. Though sixty-five years of age, there had been no abatement in his energies. His death was wholly unexpected. It is sad to think that ha did not survive longer to enjoy the development of the splendid benevolences he had establithed. His death will be mourned wherever the bells of his beloved church may ring, and a blessing upon his memory will be breathed by thousands who have had their station in life bettered because he lived. The Union Labor party, according to the action of the National Executive Committee at its session in this city, is heartily opposed to Senator John Sherman, who is just now very busily engaged In casting his line to hook the Republican presidential nomination. Mr. Sherman, when he learns of it, will feel as though a cold, damp blanket had suddenly enveloped his boom. The action is directly in revenge for the public declaration of the Senator that the Union Labor party was a side-show. In the same breath the committee repudiated Lee Crandall, who is the great American new-party maker. Mr. Crandall, however, will probably not complain. He will simply begin to organize another new party. It is quite likely that the next issue of his paper, the National View, will contain some salty expressions of his views about the Union Labor party. Another curious thing the committee did was to declare that the Union Labor party had no room for Henry George and his followers. By this action there have eliminated from the ranks of the party the 60,000 men who voted for Henry George in the last municipal election in New York City, the magnificent vote doing more to stimulate the organization of the Union Labor party than anything else that had ever , happened in the political history of the country. And yet the platform of the party embodies the leading principle of the Henry George doctrine. It begins to look like the Union Labor party was lacking an intelligent leadership. It will not be long before those members, at least, who have hitherto voted the Democratic ticket, will be asking, "What in thunder are we here for?" Secretary or State Griffin has made an attempt to cast discredit upon John D. Carter, Assistant Secretary of the Senate of the last General Assembly, by charging him with having surreptitiously inserted the minutes of the last day's proceedings of the Senate in the record of Senate proceedings filed in the Secretary's office. Mr. Carter has declared that the record of the last day's proceedings of the Senate waa filed by him in the State Secretary's office. This Secretary Griffin denies, maintaining that Mr. Carter did not put them there until this week. There are three or four persons who will swear that Mr. Carter did file the papers when he said he did, the day following adjournment. Mr. Carter on coming to the city this week made a search for them and found the missing record concealed amid the January pioceedings of the Senate. Mr. Griffin says Mr. Carter put it there himself. As Mr. Carter conducted his examination in the presence of the State Secretary's employes, and as the record of the last proceedings ia a bulky volume of manuscript, it is absurd to suppose that he could have done such a thing, even though ao minded. He could as easily conceal a market-basket about his person. No, the fact is, Mr. Griffin has been nabbed while setting up a conspiracy to

suppress the publication of the record of the last day's proceedings of the Senate. Why does Mr. Grilhn, as the agent of the Republican party, desire to suppress this particular record? It contains the memorial reciting and justifying the steps taken by the Democrats of the Legislature to maintain their majority and their rights. It contains the majority report of the Senate committee which conducted the Insane Hospital investigation. It contains a communication from Senator Sears, Republican, to President Smith, in which the latter is addressed as "Mr. President," the communication setting forth that Mr. Sears had examined the bill providing for the Baker heater claim and had found it correct. The record therefore shows that on the last day of the session the presidency of Mr. Smith received Republican recognition. It also contains a record of the fact that the Clerk of the House of Representatives, on the last day of the session, sent to President Smith a communication beginning "Mr. President," dated the last day of the session, and accompanying an enrolled bill signed by Speaker Sayre of the House. This was a recognition of Mr. Smith's presidency and the Senate organization by Speaker Sayre. These are some of the hard, cold facts the journal of the proceelings of the last day's session of the Senate contains, and it is because these facts are fatal to the Republican pretentions, and will be used with crashing effect by the Democrats in the next campaign, that Mr. Griffin desires to prevent their publication. We say to Mr. Griffin, that the Senate Journal, before it leaves the hands of the State Printer, will certainly contain the record of the last day's proceedings, though it may require a mandamus to compel him to do his duty.

The Kentucky Democrats, in their convention yesterday, made it evident that they were not in favor of President Cleveland's civil Bervice policy. This Is the signal gun, and Mr. Cleveland will do well to heed the note of warning. In the convention were conspicuous as speaker1) and delegates many of the leading Democrats of the State. Their opinions are not to be whistled down. The. Democrats of Indiana, at their last State convention' refused to approve the President's civil service policy. Now come the Kentucky Democrats, nearly a year later, and make an emphatic protest. Politicians who have had favors from the President's hands, or who expect them, are always quite ready to approve the President's course in this cr any other respegj, and täte great satisfaction in upbraiding those who exercise the privilege of sincere and well-meaning criticism. But the Kentucky convention was made up of men who had no favors to ask and who are Democrats from way back. These men do not like the President's adhesion to the doctrine of the mugwumps, and are not atraid to say so in open meeting. Their utterances are to be respected. Colonel W. W. Dudley was in the city of Fort Wayne Saturday, and the correspondent of the Sentinel quotes Dudley as saying that Colonel Robertson would undoubtedly be the Republican candidate for Governor. This sort of talk is simply a part of the Radical programme. It is understood among the leaders that Robertson is to be "talked up" as the prospective candidate until election time, and then that ex-Senator Ben Harrison will be the nominee. Robertson will then be forced on as Lieutenant-Governor. The talk Is simply to keep the little man in a good humor. The leaders understand that he does not carry guns of sufficient caliber to pull the party through Indiana In a presidential year. The Sentinel's Lafayette correspondent relates an incident of election day which illustrates the modes of Republicanism under stress. The fight for the mayoralty of that city was a very tough one. The Democrats made a brilliant battle and won. A prisoner waa offered a release from the jail on election day with the condition that he would vote the Republican ticket. He declined and was taken back to the j ail. These are the same tactics U3ed by the Republicans here in the days before Democratic Sheriffs became fashionable. If those who commit outrages on young and innocent girls were served as Oliver Taylor was served yesterday at Vincennes, there would be less of such crimes in the country. He will spend the next teventeen years of his life in the Jeffersonville penitentiary. He Is twenty-three years of age and his victim was a ten-year-old cousin. THE PAN-HANDLE ROBBERS. Their Cases Taken Up In the Pittsburg Criminal Court, Fittsbcbg, May 9. The Pan-Handle Railroad robbery cases were taken up in the Criminal Court this morning, Judge twing presiding. The first case tried was that of William T. Lave He, abrakeman. The prosecution produced witnesses from Philadelphia, Dennison, Ohio; Pittsburg, and Penrod, Ky. ; and traced goods shipped turn the former place to a "fence" in this city, established by the detectives for the purpose of entrapping the thieves. Detective Allen, who ran the "fence," testified that Lavelle had sold to him' a large lot of goods, which he acknowledged he had taken from a freight car. These goods were afterward identified as the property of a firm in Kentucky. The Sullivan Combination. East Sagisaw, May 9. The Sullivan combination left here this morning. Manager Sheedy Was asked if he would accept the challenge ot Richard K. Fox, who offers to back Kilrain against Salhvan in a glove contest He said he would pay no attention to anything coming from Fox, as he was only seeking to advertise himself, but would accept tbe challenge from any other source. Sullivan will not fight for some time, on account of his lame wrist. Most of the members of the combination attended church yesterday morning. Gold Fields that pan out richly are not so abundant as in the early California days, but those who wtlte to Hallett & Co., Portland, Me., will, by return mall, receive free, full information about work which they can do, and live at home wherever they are located, that will pay them from $5 to $25 per day and upward. Either sex, young or old. Capital not required; you are started In business free. Those who start at once are absolutely sore of snug little fortunes.

THE INDIANA BUDGET.

Death of Robert HcKim, a Prorainsnt Ciüzbs of Madison. From the Coal Field Opposed to tbe Banks Narrow Escape From Death Oilier Specials. Madison, May 9 Mr. Robert McKim. one of the most prominent and respected citizens of Southern Indiana, died this morning at 10:15. He had been sick about three weeks. He was born in Ireland, County Tryone, May 21, 1816. Having completed his apprenticeship as a stonemason, he was married and immediately afterward emigrated to this country, landing in Philadelphia, where he remained for about fifteen months as a journeyman at his trade; but reading and hearing of the prosperity and advantages ot the far West for young men of industry, he determined to try his fortunes in this then sparsely settled section of the country, and landed in this city in the fall of 1837, his entire capital consisting of his skill as a mechanic, and he has made it his home ever since. Here he diligently applied himself to his profession until 1S55, when he formed a partnership with the late Festus L. Thompson in the coal business, and has given it his personal attention ever since. Yens hro he made some fortunate liiTcstrtents in real estate in Indianapolis. Fy bis frugality and good business jadgn ent in the investment ot his surplus irH. b had become a laree stockholder in the First National Bank, the McKimxoctran Furniture Company, the magnificent new cotton mill company, and many minor manufacturing establishments. The public had so much confidence in his sagacity and well-earned reputation as an bonvable and safe business man, that the stockholders of the First National Bank on its reorganization some -years ago elected him as its' president, and by his superior judgment he has placed its credit and standing among the first institutions of the kind in the country. The stockholders cf the J. M. and I. Railroad Company also recognized his qualifications by placing him on the Board of Directors. lie has always been a great lover of astronomy, and after years of hard toil, feeling himself financially able to indulge his tastes somewhat in this respect, he purchased for his own private use one of the finest telescopes in the the country, and he built ar d mounted it in an observatory adjoining his residence which is so thoroughly equipped with maps and charts that it is acknowledged to be one of tbe largest and best private observatories in this country. He has been exceedingly liberal in his bequests to all public charities and institutions of learning, among them the Madison library, which he has almost wholly maintained during these later years of its existence. For years past he ha3 been a yearly conti ibutor to Trinity Church, of this city, which oves much of its prosperity and all of its solid and massive magnificence to his skill as a mechanic and his liberality, he having superintended itsonet ruction from foundation to steeple. The DePauw University at Greencastle has been the recipient of his most princely public gift, in the shape of a complete astronomical outfit for its observatory, including tbe necessary buildings, at a cost of over $10,000, and which the trustees of the institution have done honor to themselves by naming the "McKim Observatory." One of the most remarkable features of his life is the fact that he has never used tobacco in any shape or form, and has religiously eschewed the use of liquor in any Ehape as a beveraee. After the Indiana Coal Fields. Brazil, May 10. Considerable interest has been manifested here, and, In fact, throughout Southwestern Indiana, over the rumored sale of the Terre Haute and Evansville and the Evansville and Indianapolis Roads to the Chicago and Indiana Coal Road syndicate. The sale has been denied, but, while not fully consummated, it is generally believed to have been made, at least optionally. The date of the option's expiration is fixed at to-morrow, when it is thought the matter will be fully concluded. The price has not been mentioned, although if the syndicate pays anything like tbe price they paid for the Chicago and Eastern Illinois recently it will be high. Though in the field but a little over a year, the syndicate has put itself on record admirably, even if the rumored purchase is not consummated. If it is, they have tbe Indiana coal fields absolutely in their own hands. The result will be onr block coal will not be permitted to overcrowd the market, hut the supply will be carefully regulated bo as to do the most good to "the fewest number. Furthermore, a continuous line from Northern Michigan and Chicago on the north to the Gulf on the south will be opened by the purchase. The Ohio will be crossed at the Henderson Bridge The syndicate, therefore, can pay a good price for the roads, and it is highly probable that they have bought them. A Narrow Escape From Death. Dak ville, May 9. Yesterday the inhabitants of the east end of town were rtartled by a loud crashing noise, caused by the caving in of a stable loft containing a large lot of corn.

He was carried home apparently lifeless. Doctors Hoadley, Parker and Wisbard soon trepanned the wound, inserted a silver plate and there is some hopes of his recovery. His elder brother, Ed Stutsman, was buried under four feet of lumber and corn, bnt was dug out unharmed. Broke Hla Leg Paralysis. Logaksport, May 8.
