LIGONIER, IND., THURSDAY, APRIL. 24, 1873,

~ IN AND OUT OF LOVE. : ‘How pID I knew that she was a widow ? " Don’t you give me credit for.any com - mon sense or discrimination at all.? How do you know that a rose is red ? How do you know lobster salad from sardines? - » : * I knew she was a widow from the very moment I tock the corner seat in the car, opposite to her little black bonnet with its fluttering wreath of crape veil, and the Astrakhan muff that held her two tiny, black gloged hands. How, I envied that muff Dod& tell me of your Venuses, your Madonnas, and your Marys, Queen of Scots—they couldn’t have held a candle to this delicious little widow. .- - 1 never did believe in grand beautics! A woman bas no business over-awing and impressing you against your will. And she was one of your dimple, daisyfaced creatures, with soft, brown eyes, long-lashed and limpid, and a Ted mouth. which looked as if it was just made to be kissed. <

. And then there was a tangle of golden spirals of hair hanging over her forehead, ‘and braids upon braids pinned up under her bonnet, until a hair-dresser would have gone frantic at the sight. - Just as I was taking an inveuntory of ‘these things, in that sort of unobservant way that. I flatter myselt belongs to a man of the world, she dropped her muff, and, of course, it rolled / under the car scat. i ; Waso't I down -on my knees at once afterit? I rather thinkso. | “Thank you, sir,” said the delicious little widow. : ~ “Not at all,” I replied. “Can’t I do anything more for you?”: S “No, thatik you—unless you can tell me what time we get into Glendale.” “Glendale,” I cried. “Why I am going to Glendale? . i) Of coursé we were friends at once,. and the daicy faced enchantress made rcom for me beside ber, ' “lest,” as she said, “some horrid, disagreeaole ereature should crowd 1n and bore her to death,” and.l stepped right out of the musty, ill ventilated world of railway ‘carriagké into an atmosphere of Eden. o When a bachelor of forty fallsin love at firs' sight—ob, what a fall is there my countrymen. No :half measures, I tell ycu. i .

*© Before we had been speeding through the wintry Jandscape an hour I bad al ready built up several blocks of chateauz d' Espagne, in my mind. I saw my bachelor rooms brighitened by her presence, . , ' + I funcied myeelf walking to church with ber band on my arm. . - I heard brer dulcet voice saying, “My dear Thomas, what would you like for supper to night ?” 1 beheld myself a-re-spectable member of society—the head of a family. o . : What would Bob Carter say now—l meant then ? : . Bob, who was always rallying me on my state of hopeless old bachelorhood, who supposed, forsooth, because he happeved to be a trifle younger and betterlooking than myself, that I bad no chances whatever, .. . ; ' I'd show Bob! - v . “What did we talk about ?” The weather, of course, the scenery, the prospects—all the. available topics, oue after another ; and the more we talked, the deeper grew my admiration. : She was sensible, and so origingl. .and 80 everything élse that she ought to be ! I discovered that she preferred a town life to the seclusion of a country residence —so did I. Who wounld stagnate when be could feel the world’s pulses as they throbbed 2 i S ~ She loved the opera—so did I. She thought this woman’s suffrage movement all ridiculous—with a bewitching little liep on the last syllable—l agreed with ber. . ‘ She thought a woman’s true sphere was home ; my feelings surged up too strongly for utterance, and I merely bowed my assent. §

Here was & delicidus unanimity of, soul —a mute concord of sympathy. ; What would Bob Carter say when be saw this beautiful little robin lared into my cage. How I would lord it over him. How I would invite him to ‘‘happen in at spy time.” How I would—figuratively, of course—hold ‘up Mrs. Thomas Smith over his envying head. I uttered an audible chuckle as I thought of these things, which I bad some difficulty in changing into a cougb..’ “You've got a cold,” said the widow, sympathetically. *“Do, please, have one of my troches; thgy! are so soothing to the throat,” fle i I took the trocke; but I didn't swallow it. I would as soon have eaten a priceless pearl. I put it in my left hand loreast pocket, as near my heart as practicable, - Her first gift! ' ; “A bachelor, like me is used to such things,” "I sald, in an off-hand manREr. “A bacbelor!” echoed my traveling canipgoion. “Dear me, then you are not marsed 2" L “Unforteapately, no.” - P . “It’s never too late to mend,” hazarded the widow, roguishly. i “That is @y sole consolativn,” I an. swered,.gallantly. ; “There is nothing like married life,” sighed the widcew, with a momentary eclipse of the Jimpid, brown orbs, beneath the whites of drooping lids. “But what'’s the use of my talking about it to you? You can’t understand:” . o “I can imagine,” I replied modestly. “You must find a wife as soon as possi-~ ble,” said the widow, looking. intently at the hem of her pocket handkerchief. “You're only living half a life, now. Ab, you can not think how muech bappier you would be with some gentle, clinging be ing at your side--some cobgenial soul to mirror your own.” Instinctively [ laid my hund on wy heart, ‘ ey #“Do not funcy that I ghall lose an in stant in the search,” I said. “I have al ready .pictured toimyself the pleasures of A newer existence.” . “Have you?” The brown eyes shot an arch, challenging sparkle toward me. “Tell me all about her.” : Do you really wish to know. “Of course I do.”

I congratulated myself mentally on the fine progress I was waking, considering the small practice in love making that I bhad had.: Bob Carter himself, with all his ready tongue and good looking face, could not have carried on a flirtation more neatly. - ? ik - “Is she tair or dark?” questioned the widow, with, the prettiest of intere est. . L “Neither—about your complexion. - “Oh 1” laughed my interlocutor, with a charming pink suffusion over hér dim ples.. “Isshe young?” - [*“Yep, about your age.” “Pretty ?” ; i ; “More than pretty—beautiful.” The widow arched her vperfectglg penciled eyebrows, “What a devoted hus band you will make? And when are you to be married ?” e ~ “Assoonas T caninduce her to name thQ‘“’bn 5 s by o : - “That's right,” said the widow, clasping her bands over the Astrakhan muff

“Because, you know, you've no time to lﬁk.“’ i e : - Isighed ostentatiously. “I am quite aware of that. You will let me eall on _you in Glendale?” : ~ “Ob, certainly, ‘if she don’t obJedt,” ; : ke 4 *She'll be willing, I guarantee. Wiiere are you staying,” I asked eagerI§s i \ I shall be Mrs. Alvern's guest Do you know many people in Glendaie ?” : o *Ovly a few, I am going down on ‘stige legal business for one or two of my clients.” : . i EAreyou? . ; - b ; e Aund then there was & briefsilence. “Are you acquainted with Mr. Carter, Mra. Alvern’s’ brother#” asked . the widow, presently. i (i “Yes,” I answered, with a -little grim ace. . “A seif conceited, disagreeable puppy.

The Eureka Tragedy--Letter from the Rev. T. C. Workman. Tothe Editor of the Rock Island Union : DEAR SIR :—As therc have been many mistakes published in the papers—and some of them exceedingly exaggerated and slanderous—concerning the “Workman tragedy,” I ask you, notwithstand ing my “‘original prosiness, uncouth man ners, and want of acceptability where T preached in your county,” the privilege of making & few statements through your paper. S e - lisball not at this time dttempt to make, any defens: of my character or excuse for my conduct, as tlse time for that has not yet come. But I will say that,as to the murder, T kuow no more about it than you do. It is true that my wife is chargs ed with it, but she persistently denies it in toto, or of baving any knowledge of it until it was dope. It is also true, that all the evidence so far against ber falls very short of proving her guilty, and the suspicion of her gnilt rests principally on the discovery ot a correspondence betwéen myselfl and the murdered woman, which never could have been proven on me if I had been disposed to deny it, and it was at my own request that Mrs Hedges’ house was searched for the letters found at her residence. As to the purport of the correspondence Itself, there i 8 nothing in it from first to last that either expresses or implies :llicit intercourse or a.desire on either side that my wife might die or be in any manner put out of the way. But that we did agree to pray for her conversion is ‘most clearly stated ‘on both sides. As to the correspondence implying illicit love, I am free to confess iy ignorance as to what that is, and I want some of you wise mewepaper men to to tell me, if you know yourselves. As I understand Gospel teaching, we are required to love ope another, whether male or female, as we do ourselves. This may be “illicit” viewed from a newspaper standpoint, but from :lge Bible it is not. But I do_not say thdt 1t was not imprudent for me or any other persor to earry on such a cor respondence. If this had not taken place i a Campbellite town, who hate the Methodists far worse than they do the devil, there would not have been so many unmitigated lies published about it. Be patient, court will soon be bere. Next week will tell whether my wife is guilty or not, and then I intend to publish the correspondence and all the facts in the case, .o T. C. WORKMAN.

| 7. Barbarity of a ¥reacher. - DEs Moixgs, lA, April 10.—A case of revolting cruelty to & child hag just been made public in Clarke county. . Daniel Sams, a United Brethren preacher, living near Smyrna, ig the fiend, and a'little girl named Oglesby the vietim. . At the pre. liminary trial witnesses testified to repeat. ed beatings and knock downs; to the child being put out of dvors in the coldest weather ; kept out until its feet were froz en, and that the fiend held the child’s bare arms to the fire until they were burned to 8 blister, and that his last act of cruelty was to knock it down, and, while it was in an insensible state, be took a lieated poker and seared the flesh on its légs and body. When the child winced under the. hot iron, he remarked to Mrs, Radcliff, the woman who filed the information ‘against him, “Oh! she ain’t dead yet.” At the close of the examination, the Justice allowed him to go at large on his promise to appear for trial. Sams ipemediately left the country, and parties at Smyrna are greps_ring to prosecute the Justice of the Peace for neglect of duty, The child’s mental faculties have been ruined by its barbarous treatment, and it has been sent to a sister in Waynu county. . .

<COL. FRED. HECKER ON * RAILi ROAD MONOPOLIES.” * Oan the 81st of last month, Col. FREDERICK HECKER, the distinguished revolutionary leader of 1848, delivered a lecture on “railroad monopolies,” in Burlington Hall, Chicago. The Tribune reports his remarks as follows: i . The venerable speaker commenced by saying that - with’ the erection of railroads the business intercourse between nations Lad been entirely changed. By it the previous mode of transportation was put topsy turvy. Prodaction of trade, in fact all kinds of business were everlastingly joined together with the railroads alongside which ran the wire and the words running abead of the engines with lightning speed. ' Railroads threw down the barriers that stood in the way of the intercourse ~of one nation with another., Railroads were -the great equalizers of’ nations, changing their ‘manners and modes of life. They created a more lively and pervous temperament among the pevple, before which even loeal prejudices and life long con nections were sacrificed. ' Railroads had taken /the place of the old public highways. Instead of a large number of 0\*5«1?0» lines of transport,—wagons and stages,—a united mosopoly of railroad was dolng the business of the world, ‘and trade was compelled to make use of this much faster conveyance, which was able to tramsport large masses at' once. ‘And just in this was the dungerous 'chars acter of modern railway transport. At the time when railroads were first introGuced only the bright side was taken. into account, while the shady sides and the dangers were left out iof view. Al though the wear and tear on vehicles was much greater before the introduction, of railroads, yet freight was transported at that time at'3 cents per ton per mile, much less than is charged by most of our railroads to day. - : | Railroads were the greatest and ' most powerful .monopoly on the face of the earth. They let the public’ feel their power in the fael of their Kkitchens, the bread on their “tables, the coverings of | their bodies, the material for their bouses, and all otber articles that are used by the people. It was the most colossal and fearful power that ever ex: isted.” The trade of the wmany 'had!to obey thewrders of the few. The feudalism of the middle ages and the titled nobility were things of the past, but the ‘feudalism -of mobile property and of ‘powerful and rich corporations was looming up—corporations that bad not the pride, honor and education of the former.. No sooner had Stephenson, in 1830, put the first engine in motion than he observed the importanee of the influence of that mode of transportation, He saw at once that only through a unjon of capital could railroads be built, and that alongside them. all smaller and.slower conveyances must cease. King Leopold, of Belgium, understood; the importance of new invention as far back as 1834. Then he said *“Whoever owns a railroad owns a monopo'y which should only be in the hands of ‘the State.” . ' Of what immense . benefit the true management of railroads would be to the prosperity of nations could be seen by the state affairs in~ this country. - Year after year our railroad debt was assum ing more ‘gigantic ‘proportions, and amounts to—day to over three milliards of dollars, more than the entire National® debt; which npecessarily is a colossal burden on the shoulders of the people—a: turbulent seagof speculation and swindle It railrogds would be mansged as they ought t(&be, it would have the following beneficial result to the people: In time the railroad debt would be canceled, and the income of the roads after that time would be sufficient to make any kind of taxation superfluous. The Incoume of the roads would not only be sufficient to meet all expenses of the Stdte, but enough would be left for internal improvements, & §

ICol. Hecker made the prophecy that railroads would become the system of taxation of the future, in proof of which he cited many authoritiés. - The time would come when the management of the roads must fall into the hands of the public—of the State. There was a great clamor for this in England, Germany, France, and everywhere else.. We had forcibly abolished slavery, and before long, railroad monopoly would be the leading question of the hour, and it is to| be hoped tbat we may cross the climax peaceably. ' He showed how excellently roads were managed by the Government of Belgium, and compared them with the managemnent of our roads by our railnabobs, who were taking advantage of the liberties granted by our Constitution, He cited Mr. W. Galt, the great railroad reformer of England, who made the assertion that, when: the public’ would perceive at what- fow ~prices freights could be transported, and what the cor. porations take from them, then it would take no prophet to foretell that the days of railroad 'monopoly in private hands were numbered. B % W hen the coal beds of Eugland would be exhausted,—and that day was not far distant,—then her supremacy as the leading trading mnation would fall into our bands. America bad all the requisites to make us the first commercial nation in the world. Our iron:beds, coal-fields, copper mines, etc., could not be excelled, nor even equaled; and - besides, we had the largest warehouse of all the commodi: ties ot life of any nation in the world America shall and must; in due time, take the place of England as the first commercial nation, for with us were all the elements to be found that make a great mercantile and trading people. England was complaining against: her railroad monopolies, and yet it was only a .small speck on the face of the earth, covering no more than 121,000 miles, a little more than Illinvis and lowa, and half smaller than Texas. What a large field for corruption was open to railroad monopolies in the country where it .covers such a large field ! In Missouri alobe there existed more valvable minerals than in all’ France. ettt ol e ‘' He thén went on - to show how a small number of corporations, eovered by the right corporations, which was a privilege without any real responsibility, screw up the market price of the most important necessaries of life. The ~despotic and mighty hand .of this powertul monopoly was continuaily upon the people. The mightier we allow railroad mcnopolies to become, the fiercer and more terri-. ble will. be the horrible battle between. ‘capital and labor, which could not be ayert _ ed with paper shielde,—unexecuted laws and ordinaces hatched in miserable Legislatures. - The wise man and. the states man coulc avert this society destroying battle by inscribing rupen - hig banners the motto, ¥No More Monopoly.” ~ Hethen showed by figures that the forty millions of imbabitants of this _country were paying for the constiuction and rmkg#sumrmimpﬁ railroad as all the Earopean countries combined, : :‘xg qmmdm m&l}mwﬁ inhabit. in this country were.th »%NY“?&QG% ml»mmw Jentral, Erie, Balti. ‘more and Ohio, and the now ficished Unitmh Lo SR Sabwede Wi ‘such a power as those four or five corper-

- THE COMING PLAGUE. . - Spinal Meningitis in §t. Lonis—A Physician’s Practical Statements, A prominent physician’ writes. to the Missouri Republican with regard tothe pest now prevailing in St. Louis: Having very efien, for the last iwo weeks, noticed evidence “in the form of _various anxious inquiries made to me—that an entirely unmnecessary “excitement exists amoug our eitizens in refcrence to the dreadful subject of spinsl meningitis —1 offer you the following statements: _ We do know the important. facts that exposure to a cold, damp atniosphere is an exciting and developing cause of - thé. disease, and thiat all -irregular babits ot meals, drink, clothing, sleep, etc, are also exciting causes, and as such should -be scrupulously avoided. Ihave seen the diseade in vartous partsiof . our country and in various countries-in~ Europe, in London and in Parig, and general obseryation shows it to be more prevalent and more severe in those. seasons and those climates where the temperature of the at mosphere is the lowest, with the greatest degree of humidity or 'dampness, and is most prevalent and-fatal in cold climates. in spring and fall, as those conditions ob tain most largely at those seasons of ‘the: year. I have treated/many . cases of the disease in Canada, and the most severe were usually in the spring and fall, showing that the extreme cold alote is not as strong an -exciting ycause as dampness. Many of the woist cases I bave- ever seen were in ‘Georgia in winter, where tle above conditions obtain at that season. - It is manifest thatan atomiosphere which is just above the freezing point of water, and at the esame time surcharged . with watery vapor, is an exciting cause. . The instances above referred to in Georgia oe curred in the winter of 1869 and 1870, It was most severe among: a‘large con.course of negroes who assemabled fora convention of long ‘duration; ‘where they were not regularly fed or comfortably boused, and thig ‘indicates plainly “that irregular babits and insufficient protec tion from cold and damp, predispose to the disease, or, at least, are developing causes. , It is, therefore, plain that all should be #s possible in all _their habits; and especially avoid a coid, damp atmosphere as much a 8 possible, “especially in the night, and keep ‘well protected ‘with sufficient . clothing, and keep. -the feet. warm. TSR s T e e

Many real, and more fanciful, symptoms have been published, which would lead many to have-the most feariul appreben: sions that thiey: were about to take the disease when they feel the most trivial and the most common {inconvenieneé or unpleasant sensation from. cold, or fatigue. from eating or drinking too much | from tn:‘hbu\gr too little sleep, or from ahy other causd Let po ore frighten himself into the conclusion that he has spinal meningitis or epotted fever "béc%u_s‘cj he feels the vncomfortable or. even painful results usually resulting “from irregular habits or from conmtracting cold, which have been presented by several writers as symptoms of the disease. . Cérebro spinal meningitis_is somewhat prevalesit in- our city now, but not in its most severe form, and is really:not at presént as frightful here as the epideniic or small pox, from which we are now emerging, has been ; hence' no one ‘need . be frightened, even though: be has the same real symptoms of the disease. Spinal meningitis may be developed slowly or suddenly.. Tn the former case the patient. generally: first complains of langnor, debility,¢tc. There is often a general sense of" soreness and stiffoess of muscles, which soon amounts to pain, being very manifcst in the head and back. The patient usually complains of chilly sensations, with coldness of the ex. tremities, which afe alternated with flash es of heat and developing fevér. When the attack comes on suddenly ‘it may be ushered in with a well marked chill, In some cases the first symptom of the disease is. & severe pain in the head or back, fol~ lowed by severe chills, or rigor, alternated by flashes of heat. Bevere vomitingis an occasional form of -invasion. ' Stiffness in’ the muscles of the back.of ‘thé ‘neck fre--quently manifests itself early in the dis-: ease, and spasmodic contractions of these. muscles and of thie muscles of the baclk: often draw the head backward, and -also the lower extremities backward and upward; presenting a very distressed condition and appeartapee: v 0 el b Add The aliove are the ordinary: sverage symptoms of the disease, but let o ene be frightened to death, as they may have all these symptomsand yet not-be in muchdanger. Thedisease ianof as severé among us ag.it“has often been at’ other places. Of the cases I have attended and have Yeen cailed to in:connsel with different physicians in this city, I bave not seen or heard of any.as severe as I have seen-and-treated elsewhere, and have not’ yet had the misfortune to see a case. this season’ that Iras proved fatel, .=~ o 0 b A Novel Onr’e'-fo‘r Dyspepsin, B ‘The following is Dr. Brown Sequard’s method ot tresting dyspepsia, which be claims has been successfull, in the major: ity of cases, during the last ten’ years of bis practice: The plan.consists in giving but very little of solid or fluid food or any kind of drink; at a time, and. giving these things at regular intervals of from 10 to 20 or 30 minutes:’ All sorts of food may be taken in that way, but during'the ghort perind when such a trial is made, it is obvious that the fancies ot the patient are to be laid aside, and that nourishing food, such as roasted or broiled meat, and especially beef, mutton, eggs, well baked: bread, and milk, with' butter and cheese, and a very moderate quantity. of vegetaUles and fruit, ought to constitute . the dietary of the paticuts we try -to relieve, This plan should be pursued two or three weeks, after - which the patient should. gradually retiru to ;‘he'drd%pa%’my;}en@; of eating- three. times a day..

- AN HONEST HACH-DRIVER. An Exampie Worthy of Imitation by fie ..},llm:_o Pretentious People, ' .. [From the St. Paul Press, Aprill3] A few evenings ago an incident occurr{ed in this city which bas about it too -much of good to allow it to escape with _out publicity, contrining as it does, evidence that & man in the humble walks of life can do deeds as honorable and heroic, as the.laureled soldier 'who bas faced shotted guns whilé they grew uoisy. The tacts as narratéd by those who are familiar with them al?d vouch for their accu‘racy, are substanotially as follows: =~ = . Upon: the arrival-of the evening train “from Bioux city, a young woman alightedand applied to a hack driver named Wil. . liam Harper, in the employ of John B. Cook, Esq., of the St, Paul omnibus line, for conveyance. He inquired about her destination, and was under the impression that her reply included the name of a ‘well known house of ill repute, but judging from the modest appearance of his passenger, he concluded thut one ot his senses had practically deserted him and - that he must bave been mistaken. After -assisting the girl to Ler seat, other passengers mounted his hack, and. William Harper statted off, determined i#: the meantime to convey the ather passengerd to their destinations before he ventured a -second time to unravel the mystery of his : first applicant. This détermination was followed strictiy, and, when alone;, Hars/ per.againinquired where she wished togo. The reply- this time was conclusive, and - Harper felt restored confiderce in his senge « of bearing. The girl seemed innocent, and Harper ventured an) inquiry as fo the ~reasons which prompted ber to voluntari‘ly choose the lite which was sughested: in er order: She wept bitterly, and told ~her bistory. Thus far she was guiltless ‘of any wrong, but she had been denied ~peace in her'own home, and had been ordered away from the shelter of its roof. ‘ller fathet’s’ name and residence were’ frankly’given. Repeated applications for ~work “had been made, but each attempt was met by a repulse, and she weepingly confessed that jtseemed at last as if there were no other recourse than the one indi: - cated; except to die from starvation in a _ land ‘teeming with plenty. Tn her des~ perate resolves she had decided upon the firet alternative. .Wm Harper had lived balf a life time, and his past experience now - enabled bim to tell her something, - which: lie evidently bad not thought of—- } thie dishonor of her youth, the hopeless- . -ness of middle age, and the death of an }-_,n,ntcavst. -He believed her story, and a -grand sympathy warmed the soul of -the chonest man. :Driving to the deor of the estublishment indicated, Harper stoppk‘ﬂ ~and-informed his passenger that she might - ‘enter if she insisted apon that course; but she should not do so if she. preferred an—othér and better life, to which he could - direct her steys. Said hes : oLwill drive you to a hotel, and pay your way until you can obtain work, and - an honest and honorableliving. You ° shall net starve, und I can belp you!’ ~ The girl joytully accepted the proposition of her godd angel; who bad unfolded ‘his Cbristian nature by the side of'a back. To shorten the stury, Harper took her to the hotel and drove home. ' The girl had: informed him that she was brought up in the Catholic' fuith and Harper /at once . aid the story betore Rev. J{'nnn Ireland. Steps for the girl's benefit were Aimmedis .ately taken,and through the good ofiices: ‘of.noble Harperand Mr. Irelaad the girl' | ‘hiag obtained asituution, and now attri‘butes her salvation to the unexpected in spiration of her benefactor and friend,” who deserves to be recorded among those who aré sn honor to their kind, =~ = . Harper’s employer closed his reference to thie act with these words: “That man shall . not want employment or -a place while-I am alive!” and there was a tone of sincere feeling in his voice which showed that he appreciated the nobility of Hatper’s grand achievement. .
