Not a new gas gusher was reported by any ol the Sentinel correspoa dents yesterday. "Well, it was rather a cold day for the It is about time f or Gnflia, the Republican Secretary of 8; ate, to make another blanker. 119 is prompt in that direction usually on schedule time. The Governor yesterday appointed J. L. Carson, of Shelby Coun'y, president of the Hoard of Trustees of tbe State benevolent Institution?, in place of Dr. Harrison. Now the music bteirs. Mr. Hernes Daily, of the Jeffersonville News, Les been appointed one of the stenographic reporters of the Inter-state Commerce Coxruission. Mr. Daily will commence Lia work with the commission early x.kz rconth. A CEA5D rtuniou of the D!ae and Gray is announced to be held at Evansville in September. Famgut Post, G. A. R., of that city, will have charge of the matter. Leading generals, bo foaght on either sides, will be inviel. Tns rait cf Joseph Ketcharn, administrator of the cat ate of Anna Ketcham, against Civil Service Commissioner Edgerton, was settled yesterday in Fort "Wayne. The caae has attracted considerable attention in Nortbf rn Indiana. Thk Maysviile Eagle, la its sixty-fifth jeir, closed its career this week. It was one of the oldest papers in Kentucky, and for the last quarter of a century has been edited by Thomas M. Green. He gives no xeaton for the paper's discontinuance. Loan Lasdsdows probably forgot tha Mr. O'Brien was an editor and that hi would have the last say, and cay it frequently. After Mr. O'Brien returns to his editorial desk no great interval will elapse before Lndsdowne will wish that the devil would fly away with his Irish estates. Gistral Boclasger appears more than ever to be the man of the hour in France. Jf President Grery shall finally conclude to summon some one to form a Cabinet who will admit Bonlanger, it will be a very emphatic intimation to Germany that the French people are In a fighting humor. Jcdgk Isaac Moore died In Exnville "Wednesday night. The Judge was one of the most prominent lawyers of Southern Indiana, and a leading Republican, having been the candidate of the party for Secretary of State In 1882, and a presidential elector on the Garfield and Arthur ticket In 1830. Obtii Steix, whose unsavory career In Lafayette gave him considerable notoriety, and who was afterward arrested In California charged with forgery, and then confined In a Texas jaU ever sluce, has been released on bail. An El Paso, Texas, dispatch says that his mother tarnished the names of the citizens who became his bondsmen; that be looks pale and thin after his long confinement, and that sympathy Is gipressel for him because he

announced himself ready for trial on two occasions when the State asked for a continuance. The same dispatch further states that Stein bad secured a position on a newspaper of that city.

Ex-Sittatob Foclkk, the full-blooming night cereus of alleged civil service reform in Indiana, took advantage of a slight allusion to him In the Sentinel of Saturday to make a little stump epeech to a typewriter, and then sent it to this office with the expectation that it would be published. Its lone is impudent, vulgar and coarse, with the odor of the fish market. The matter awaits him in the Sentinel waste-basket. It should not be forgotten that the Republicans of the last Legislature are responsible for the fact that the new insane asylum at Evansville will not be in condition to receive patients by the first of July, and thereby relieve the crowded condition of the hospital near this city. Foulke, Morton and Howland, the trefoil of bogus reform, now engaged In running an annex to Indiana radicalism, should give this matter attention when their souls are agonizing over the condition of "the wards of the State." The first dispatches regarding the burning of the Opera Comique, in the city of Paris, Wednesday night, were not exaggerated. Later information confirms all of the ghastly details of the ead affair as first reported. The loss of life is horrible to contemplate and much greater than indicated by the earlier cablegram?. The number is now placed at 200. "What the exact total of those who lost their lives in the terrible catastrophe is will not be known, probably, until to-day or to-morrow. Air Associated Press dispatch from Terre Haute announces the mysterious killing by a rifle shot of a Mrs. Smith at Cardonia "Wednesday evening. The Sentinel's Brazil correspondent, in a special published elsewhere in this morning's paper, doubtless refers to the same unhappy event. There is no mystery about it from his account Two young chaps were reckleuly shooting at a mark near Mrs. Smith's residence, when she appeared suddenly around the corner ot the house. One of the shots struck her in the neck, severing the iagulir vein, from which she died instantly. (Jeher als Lkw "Wallace akd Buckser met the other day in Louisville for the first time since the surrender of Fort Donelson. The meeting was quite a pleasant one, as related by a local paper. It happened at the Gait House. General Wallace sent up his card and General Buckner came down and gave bim a very cordial greeting. He was Introduced to "Betsy and the baby," the wife and daughter of General Buckner, and spent half an hour pleasantly in their company, and then, over their fragrant Havana s, the next Governor of Kentucky and the author of "Ben Hur" agreed that the war was over. It is sad to know that at a time when the entire State seems to be rejoicing in a general revival of business that 00 large a concern as the Wayne Agricultural Works, at Richmond, should be laboring under financial embarrassment, The statement made by the company would indicate that prudent, prompt management might yet pave it from a total failure. Their trial talsEce the first of the year showed assets of $315,000 and liabilities of $215,000 It seems that the concern could not meet a demand for $1G.COO made by an Ohio pirty. Suit was brought, and this was followed by others, until a receiver was appointed. "Where are the American reporters? Kill them! Knock them down!" The above was the cheerful intelligence conveyed to the ears of the reporters of the Anglican prfjs present at the O'Brien meeting in Kirgston by the ruffians who were trying to kill the gritty Irish editor. These representatives of the press seem to have been among Mr. O'Brien's best friends throughout the entire week's struggle. On several occasions, when cobblestones and brickbats wero falling in shower?, they stood around and protected him at the risk of their lives. One or two of them were very seriously injured. More brutal, cowardly and bloodthisty mobs never gathered on the continent than those which frequently attempted MrO'Erien's life during his Canadian tour. One ct the reporters of the Sew York San was among those injured on the occasion referred to. That paper pays its respects as follows to the cowardly gang: "No wonder the KlDestcn bunglers at assassination wanted to kill the American reporters The business of theae servants of the press is to give the facts and to tell the truth. If the press could only be silenced, if the telling of the truth could only be punished with murder. If the fury of mobs could only spend itself upon Innocent men who publish to the world their indictment of the shameless patricians who grind the faces of the poor and make Ireland a desert and a poor-house, what a help that would be to the glorious cause of coercion. The press is only the representative of an enlightened public opinion and humane civilization. If public opinion could be falsified, if civilization could be sent back to Strongbow's standard, the Canadian bullies and the Eoglish bullies think they might have their way. They see their enemy in the press, and then they let their bludgeons fall." Da. Dachet, who was appointed a few months ago to a place in the Pension Bureau at Washington, has recently re signed that position. When he was ap pointed the Republican papers opened up their mud batteries all along the line, charging that be had been a guard at Andersonville prison and especially cruel in bis treatment of Union prisoners of war. He protested that he was not the man and that be was never at Andersonville. The mud smirching finally stopped, but only because the amunition gave out, No apol ogies for the cruel slanders were ever made by the mud-alingers. General Black, the Commissioner of Tensions, In accepting Dr. Dabney's resignation, has written a letter to bim demonstrating that his retirement was not made under fire of radical rot. The letter is as follows: "Ir. T. B. Dabney, Medical Examiner, Peualon Bureau : "Sib In transmitting the acceptance of your resignation I wish, owing to. the peca

liar notoriety given your case daring the past year, to say of record that your resignation was a surprise to me, that it was tendered absolutely voluntarily, that I knew of no reason for its tender, that yon leave this bureau with my best wishes for your future success and prosperity; that daring the time you have been engaged here yoa have won my esteem by your courteous discharge of your duties. Very respectfully. "Johs C. Black, Commissioner."

A TIME TO REST. The President and his family, official and personal, have gone to the Adirondacks for a few weeks rest. It is well enough. They will be the better of it, and the country will be none the worse. In the long run no business suffers by ths comparative vacations of its managers. It would lose more by the lassitude of unresting and exhausted attention, than by complete absence, followed by renewed energy and mental clearness. There is a'ways the expression of general experience in a popular adage, and "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is a truism as well worth systematic recognition as any between poor Richard and Lacon. Esop's unstrung bow has symbalized the world's judgment cn this point of human conduct for more than 2,500 years. The English and European occupants of public offices, at least those carrying serious responsibilities, have recognized by a serits of precedents that have practically made law. They take vacations at certain times, and the public approves with as little hesitancy as it approves application to a doctor for sickness. The mass of the members of Parliament and ifficialsin England, like the mass of tne members of Congress and officials here, never hurt themselves by overwork, but there are always some la both bodies who attend to their duties conscientiously, and to these a week's vacation occasionally, or a month's at longer intervals, Is a positive addition to their public value that would be advantageously obtained at a double salary while resting. We have Cabinet ministers and chiefs of bureaus who don't get sufficient rest to come to work each succeeding day as effective as the day before. They feel it and Bay it, but they can't help it. They can't tear out of the web of their duties and leave the strings and tags hanging unattached for a month while they regain wasted power. So they wait for a better chance, and put off the recreation, and the chance doesn't come, and they wait through another postponement, and the year closes, "the harvest Is past, the summer is ended, and they are not saved," as Jeremiah has it The practical lesson of the lack ot vacation to overworked men in public life is that a law should provide some apt opportunity for the victims, that tbey might feel that they were not neglecting their business or abusing the confidence of the country. For overworked private life there is no remedy but the growth and diffusion of popular, or at least fashionable, opinion and prece dent, and that seems to be moving ahead and abroad pretty rapidly just now. There Is ten-fold the interest and attention and outlay in recreation and re'ief frcm business now that there was a geieration ago. The ball games, rowing feats, races, home sports, fishing, shooting, yachting, canoeing, gipsy Ing indent-life in the woods, are as Infallible a resort of such classes of the community as can spare th? time and the expense as the return of the seasons that sent them. Thirty years ago bow many families had croquet lawns, who had heard of tennis or base-ball except as a school-boy diversion, or family fishing parties tenting on the banks cf pleasant streams, or boating expeditions, or athletic parks, or associations to promote physical culture and wholesome entertainment? Now, where do you not bear of them, s?e them, read of them as regularly and fully as you used to re id cf the proceedings of legislatures or party conventions. Fashion, popular taste, the general common s?nse of community are making big and wholesome gaps in the close fever of business that once Bhut out everything every day of the week except Sunday, and did not always open for that, and only unlocked a rusty holiday gate on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas and Fourth of July. It is a good sign, though, of course, there is bad mixed with the good, play overdone, play not too innocent, as there will be while human nature remains unchanged. But the total result is good. WANTED A NATIONAL AIR. "We don't in any way begrudge Rev. S. F. Brnith such glory as he may have succeeded in gaining by means of the authorship of "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," and we are glad that be had a right good time when the ladles of the Grand Army of the Republic entfrtained him outChicgo-way on Morday night It is also gratifying to hear that Mr. Smith is hale and hearty, despite his seventy-nine years, and also, we may say, despite the fact that he wrote "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" fifty-five year ago. But, men and brethren, let us not allude to Mr. Smith's attempt to naturalize on American soil the British national air as poetry. It is verse, and very feeble verse at tbat, and there is not a suspicion ot poetry about it. Philadelphia Telegraph. It Is little to the credit of our national musical spirit or ability tbat we have no national air of our own making, and none really of adoption. The British anthem, "God Save the Queen," (or King, as the case may be,) is no more ours than the German "Wacht am Rhein," .or the French "Marseillaise," or the Tactant Pour La Byrie," nor do we claim it, but we use it temporarily rent it, we may say, by pay ing annual tribute to Shakspeare and Mil' ton and the other old fellows till we can contrive something for ourselves. The New York San runs compendiously over the list of airs that have become to be regarded as American, and shows that tbey are all exotics, nothing native, that is recognized as fit for good society. It says : "The music of the 'Star Spangled Banner' was adapted, with alight alterations, from a melody by Dr. Arne (1710-1778), who is known as the composer of 'Rale Britannia.' 'Yankee Doodle is alw an Eaglish song, dating back to the days of Charles IL. when It was known as 'Lucy Lockett,' 'The Red, White and Blue' is sung all over England, and is probably also of British origin. With 'Home, Sweet Home, by Sir Henry Bishop, and 'Amer ica.' by Dr. John Bull, the question arises. have we any national air which is distinct ively American?" No, we haven't, unless "John Brown" may be. That is an old camp meeting tune, and may have grown up with eome ot the old ballad airs of the war of 1812. after ward tempered in melody and tune to a

1 statelier movement. At all events, no European people Claim it or use it, except as a loan from us. It is American now, by naturalization and adoption, wherever it was born, and no other air we commonly call national is. Moreover, it Is decidedly and conspicuously a finer air than the British national anthem. Its movement is grander and more animated; its melody stronger and of a higher strain. There is no reason that we can see why we should not make "John Brown" replace the plagiarized or borrowed "America" u our national air, "Rally 'Round the Flag" Is better than any of our borrowed music, though It is not equal to "John Brown." Let some poet with a soul in him as big as the Washington Monument make us a national hymn to this national air. and we shall bo musically complete nationally. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's "Battle Hymn"iaa fair piece of verse, and full of noble feeling, but it hasn't the "sing" in it that belosgs to a "song of the million." It is good for state and ceremonial occasions, but it is pitched in too high a strain of sentiment for a Fourth of July crowd or a party procession.

THE ONE TROUBLE. If the iron-bound coercion of the Salisbury Government, the manifest resistance of the "national" sentiment, the brutal abuse of O'Brien by the Orangemen of Canada, fall of their logical result In Irish domestic independence, it seems now that the cause will be the petty jealousies and contentions of Irish auxiliaries in this country, whence come the "eicewsof war." The other day we noted a schism in the Clan-na-Gael, which was spreading fast under the impulse of mutual accusations ot treachery or dishonesty, and now we have another demonstration o! the same deplorable feeling In the refusal of Mr. O'Brien to visit the Philadelphia sympathizers with Irish nationalism. It is said to be the eflect of the "Interference of President Fitzgerald, which they regard as a personal affront to Mr. Hugh McCaffrey, first vice-president of the Land League, and president of the Philadelphia Municipal Council. "Personal spite and rivalry come in to reinforce the evil Inflaence of factional differences, and who shall say what or where the end shall be? English Liberals and American allies will weary cf a cause whose immediate supporters and most interested advocates split into hostile factions, distrusting and denouncing each other. If the friends of Irish self-government can't trust each other, how can they expect others to trust either? If Mr. Fitzgerald has so strong a spite at Mr. McCaffrey as to be willing to deprive the Philadelphia sympathizers of the aid of Mr. O'Brien, to wreak a petty re venge on his rival, how is any man of sense or feeling to give his earnest support to either, or to the cause they are mutually trying to kill to kill each other with it? The bane of 700 years of Irish suffering and subservience has not lost a bit of its venom between the Invasion of Strongbow and the oppression of SalisSnry. Mr. Hewitt, the Democratic Mayor of New York, seems to be satisfying all classes in his administration of the affairs of the great metropolis. It has been the experience heretofore of New York Mayors, for the most part, to atir up an astonishing amount of antagonism in various quarters of the city. Mr. Hewitt has been exceptionally fortune 1 3. Harper's Weekly, which usually looks at affairs from a Republican standpoint, although it supported Mr. Cleveland for the presidency, says of the Mayor: "Probably no citizen of New York, whether he voted for Mayor Hewitt or voted against him, now regrets his election. The Mayor has devoted himself to the duties of his office with an Intelligence and energy which have produced the most excellent results. The Mayor is a Democrat, but he was elected by the votra of citizens of all parties. His course is another illustration of the desirability of totally separating from politics public duties which are in no sense political." Although Mr. Hewitt undoubtedly received some Republican votes, yet it must be remembered that he made the race as the regular Democratic nominee. The Hepublicans also made their nomination in the usual way and backed it up by an energetic campaign. Their candidate was Mr. Roosevelt, and he probably drew out the fall party strength as fall, perhaps, as it ever expresses itself in other than presidential years. Referring to the proposed nomination of Mr. Thurman for Governor of Ohio by the Democratic party of that State, the Cleveland Plain Dealer says: "There Is undoubtedly a stroDg sentiment among the Democrats of the State in favor of nominating Allen G. Thurman for Governor. It will not be satisfied that Mr. Thurman'8 expressed disinclination to be a candidate would lead bim to refuse the nomination if the convention should offer it to him. It is proposed to go right on and nominate Mr. Thurman, anyway." There Is probably no man In Ohio that could be named as the Democratic party's candidate for Governor of that State that would produce such general satisfaction and rejoicing to the Indiana Democracy as Allen G. Thurman. He is a stalwart piece of party and patriotic timber, well seatoned and tried by frequent and varied experiences. He would sweep the State from lake to river like a cyclone. Let him be nominated Probably the largest executor's bonds, so far as the money feature is concerned, ever given in the 8:ate were filed yesterday in New Albany. They called for $2,COO.OOO each, and were produced by the four executors of the large DePauw estate. The Dame of John W. Ray, of this city, appears In the quartette a veritable "Big Four." The executors entered at once upon their duties, as their bonds were promptly approved by the court. Air Eastern mugwump paper continues to crow over the fact that so many Republicans are continued in office at Washington, and the paper referred to relates the recent experience of General Elmer, who was one of the Assistant Postmaster Generals under the Republican administration. The expenence is amusing. He lately bad occasion to visit Washington, and he called at the Posloffics Department to pay his respects to his successor. Of course he was asked to go the rounds of the department,

and while doing so was astonished to find still on duty a Republican clerk whom he bad appointed at the request of a Republican Senator. "Hello," said General Elmer, going up to the clerk's desk, "you here still?" "Yes," said the clerk, "durned BtilL" It is rumored that ex-Senator Foulke and his brother reformers are preparing for another raid on the Insane Institute. Mr. Foulke should have been on band when the Benate committee were pulverizing his brethren of civil service reform Morton and Howland. The latter confessed that

j be Knew nothing about the charges against the hospital management, which he htd the audacity to sign, and Morton's humiliating cross examination was quite as pitiable as Howland'a. Foulke, however, hied himself to Hampton Roads and took refuge under the friendly guns of Fortress Monroe. Perhaps Secretary Griffin and AttorneyGeneral Michener might be induced to join the reform procession. Kkightstowm is well nigh crazy with excitement. The gas kicked out of the harness there the other day and blew the derrick into smithereens and the metal casings almost into the next county. The Sun, one of the newspapers ot the town, In its issue yesterday puts up its headlines as follows: Unparalleled Mt. Vesuvius Out-done Tbe Bowels of the Earth Give Up Its Bountiful Supply of Gss Blowing the Imrr.tijM Casing From the Well to the Height of 200 Feet Knocking the Mfghty and SM-oüg Derrick into Fragments Thereby Vre ving Beyond a Shadow of Doubt That Kniglitutowu Has tbe Best Gas Well in the M'nrMThe Enormous Pressure of 303 Pounds to the Squar Inch is Shown Such Tremerdons Power Never Heard of in the Annals of Gas Well Digging. Governor Ghat has issued a proclamation declaring the laws passed by the Legislature of 18S7 to have gone inta effect. But tbe act of the Governor by no means condones the violations ot law perpetrated by Griffin, the nondescript Republican Secretary of State. Anderson Democrat. Is there no way to reach Griffin for his frequent violations of law and bl anders generally ? G ive him a check for his entire term of office and let him go back to the Kankakee. The plucky Irish editor, Mr. O'Brien, made bis farewell adieus to Canada in a speech at Montreal last night, and left immediately for Boston. His recent treatment by a series of Canadian mobs was a positive disgrace to the civilization of the period. We trust that be may be generously welcomed in every American city that he may decide to honor with his presence. Long live O'Brien. A correspondent at Chrisney, Spencer County, Indiana, sends us information that an old pistol was found recently in the garden of the Lincoln homestead. It was found far beneath the surface, and it is supposed that the revolver belonged to Mr. Lincoln, who afterward became President The Lincoln family settled there when they carre frcm Kentucky, and when "Abe" was but a boy. Sir. Gladstone and "ited Sblrt." Saturdsy Renew. One of the most interesting incidents of the week has been the visit paid by Mr. Gladstone to the American Exhibition, and therein particularly the conversion held by him with that eminent Sioux whose name promises to become as familiar to the public as if he were a professional beauty. Nothing could be better in its way than the interview between the two chiefs. Mr. Gladstone asked Red Shirt if he thought that "there was that cordial relationship between the two great sections of the Ecgluh-speaking race the people of England and the people of the United States that there ought to be between two rations who were so much asin." To which Red Shirt replied that he did not know much about that. A more disappointing answer to an eminently respectable question we do not remember to have met with since Artemus Ward's unfortunate experience of much the 8am e kind. He, if we recollect rightly, addressed a somewhat similar inquiry to a child of nature whom he met in a barroom, and records, as his c jmpanion's reply, that "he said he would take come hash." The response cf Red Shirt was less evasive than this, but it was almost equally provoking. Why on earth was he unprepared with a theory of his own on the subject of Mr. Gladstone's curiosity? What is the use of being a Sioux chief, ot what avail are tbe goodness and grace which lave 8 ceiled upon the cradle of a Sioux chief, if you are not prepared at a moment's notice to Bay whether you think tbat the exact amount of "cordial relationship" which ought to Eubsist between two kindred peoples does, in fact, subsist between them? If a Sioux chief can not answer such an easy question as that offhand, he might as well be a Board School boy in the Sixth Standard at once. As to Red Shirt's wi etched excuse for Dot giving an opinion namely, that "he did not know much about" the matter it is perhaps the most striking example that he has yet given of his nnacquaintance with the ways of civilized life. Even the youngest among us knows better thaa to be silenced by such a ridiculous scruple as that. Here at any rate the Christian child can give the gray barbarian a stone and a beating. Red Shirt should have had an opinion of his own on Anglo-American relations; and having given it he would almost certainly have been next asked his opinion on home rule, which, if favorable ; to Mr. Gladstone's views, would also, Deyond doubt, have been quoted by him as a fresh proof that the civilized world is on his tide. Thackeray's Old Ilaantaln Paris. I went to see my old haunts when I came to Paris thirteen years ago, and made believe to be a painter. iust after I was 3 ruined and before I fell in love and took to marriage and writing. It was a very jolly time. I was as poor of Job and sketched away most abominably, but pretty contented ; and we used to meet in each others little rooms and talk about art and Brooke pipes and drink bad brandy and water. That awful habit still remains, but where is art, that dear mistress whom I loved, though in a very indolent, capricious manner, but with a real sincerity? I Bee her far, very far off.

The clerk gratefully receives the envelope without opening it, but cn a gracious hint from the head of the fam be breaks the cover and finds the photrf rapa of bis master. "Well, what do you think of It?" Inquired Schmul, with a grin. "It's just like you," was the reply,

POLITICAL. REMINISEHCES. How Ben Battler Voted 100 Times for Jeff Davis. San Francisco Examiner. "The famous secession speech of William L. Yancey, at Lexington, Ky , I remember vry well," said District Attorney John W. Breckinridge to a reporter a night or two sgo. "He snoke for four hours, and such thrilling eloquence I never heard. I was very yourjg at the time, and the excitement of the great throne and all combined to make a very vivid impression upon me." lawyer Breckinridge is the ton of the noted Vice-Presicent Join C. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, who rau on the presidential ticket in 1800 with General Joe Lsne, of Oregon. C. R. Brecklnridie, his brother, is a member of Congress for the tbird time from Arkansas, while another brother, J. C. Breckinnkge, has receatly been appointed Surveyor General of Washington Territory. "My father was ekcted Vice-President of the United Statea," said Mr. Breckinridge, "when he was only thirty-four years old. "It was two months before he was thirtyfive," said be, "when he took his seat. My father was not a candidate at the Charleston convention for the presidency. The candidates were Davis and Douglas. A strange thing that is rarely thought of now, but which is nevertheless a matter of hibtcry, is that old Ben- Batler, as a delegate from Massachusetts, stood up and voted over 100 times for Jefferson Divis for ibe presidency." District Attorney Breckinridge has been fourtren years in California, and has practiced his profession five years. He was a candidate for Congress last fall in his district, but withdrew in favor of Mr. Sumner. Heeays, however, that he could easily have been elected had he remained a candidate. Mr. Breckinridge, as will be remembered, has served in tbe Legislature of this State. At the National Democratic Convention in Chicago in 1331 he was a delegate, and in a concise speech nominated Judge Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio for the presidency. "I was elected District Attorney last f All," said Mr. Breckinridge, "by a majority of 4.';o, the largest any nominee for tbe position ever got. Since I entered my office, January 1, 1 have closed up all the dance houses, convicted several of the proprietors, and out of twelve cases of felony have Becured ten convictions. I look with a good deal of pride in what I have accomplished in thisj way." A CLOSE SHAVE.

A Drummer's Esperietice In a Southern Harber Shop. Arkansas Tr&veier.) "Do you call this a barber shop?" asked a drummer, stopping in frost of a shanty in a southern village. "Dat's whut it is, sah ; come in," replied a fat negro, putting aside a tin pan full of turnip greens and getting up from a box. 'Where's your chair?" the drummer asked, when he had entered. "Dar 'tis, eab," pointing to a bench with a clapboard back.

Women In Ohio. INew York Mall and Ex press. 1 In Ohio a married woman's rights are co-equal with her husband's. If she owns separate real estate she can sell and convey it without consulting ber husband. If she wants to mortgage or lease her farm or bouse and lot, she is at perfect liberty to dc so. If bhe possesses personal property it is ber own, and it will pais to her husband only by her consent. The law regarding man and wife has been completely revolutionized by a mere act of simplification. She can buy and eell, sue and ba sued in her own name without any intervention of her husband or next best friend. if she is in debt when Bhe marries, her husband is not bound to pay the indebtedness unless he chooses. The creditor must collect frcm tbe real debtor. In other words, the rights of man and wife are made exactly identical. Whatever right the man possesses under the marriage relation, the same rieht ia possessed by the wife without modification or abridgement. According to the law of Ohio to-day, hnsbend and wife are not one person, but two separate and distinct individuals as far as their independent right t ac
