i ' A MEMORY. BY MANDA LEVERING, The first rose of summer sat on her throne, I stood 1 the stillness of twilight alone, And the purple folds of the summer sky Fair eve shook Jdown as she went by, And onward passed to the bright afar, | Thro’ the gatesof the twilight yet ajar. I plucked the rose sonewly blown , In memory of the years agone, And breathed a name yet dear to me, ’ Asg I softly said it was to be— ' : For regrets or bitter tears came not, So I sadly siniled on that sacred spot. Yet the rose was fragrant as the flower Of hope that bloomed in that far-off hour, As the hand that loosed the chain that bound. = Scattered the crimson leaves around, And the evening dew in pity fell -On the type of a mem’ry loved go well. ' And the breath of June came again to me As a tropic breeze on a southern sea, : Yet not a wish'to change my fate, Nor never a friend to reitstate. I am content, and ask not why Such memories born can never die. i But a wave of peaceful happy éhought My soul in pensive quiet wrought; - and the memories of an olden time, Came softly like a church-bell’s ehime, And T wandered away in a misty dream Of things that hive gone by on the stream. The zephyrs came, and the zephyrs went, : And the cvcnéi(_]c was mostly epent; | . And the web of time, by the lunar light, | Had spun iiself far into night, ‘When goft and low I thought I heard, : As if by angel pinions stirred, The murmuring air brought back again, ¢ A thing long said, yet said in vain, ‘‘One kisged me Germanlike--in German said"— Oh! fond sweet memory of the dead — These four sweet words: “I love but thee;” - Bo fondly said, yet still I'm free. L And I've outl-ived that vow—O, no! 'T will out-live me, and-heavenward go To bear my spirit'up on high, i Where kindred spirite never die. - Perchance, sdmeﬁme. when roses bloom Above the dreamless'slcepersvheme. : : “One kissed me German-like,” so long ago, Then faded 4way with the twilight glow. And gathering rose-buds white and red, . I sadly said—*in German said—" . ‘I love but thee”—a lover’s vow, T .was real then—a memory now.

SENATOR A.G. THURMAN INTER- . VIEWED. o - “Hard Currency is the Only Currency t That Defrauds no Man’’—“The Hope of . Democratic Party Lies in Adherence to Democratic Principles.’’ [Cincinnati Enquirer, May 28.] *“What do you think is the cause of thee present stagnation of business ?” “The causes are obvious enough to all who truly }ook for them. Forsome years past thie country has been running into debt. Municipalities and corporations have been borrowing millions of money, and expending much of it unprofitably. Inlike man‘ner individuals have been getting into debt: and living extravagantly, many of them beyond their means. But such a course can not endure forever. Pay day is sure to come at last, and when it does come, there is first a panie, and then:a general retrenchment of expenditures, which necessarily produces stagnation until a cor siderable portion qlf the indebtedness has been liquidated, when activity revives. The panic came last September, and governments, corporations and individuals began immediately to econgmize. You have seen how our Legislature at its late session retrenched expenditures and lessened taxation Nearly every State Legislature has done likewise. Most of the counties, cities and towns have done the same. Congress is cutting down appropriations by millions. The railroad corporations, great and small, are in the same category. They buy fewer rails, locomotives, cars, etc., | than formerly, and limit their expenses' to the indispensible. The great body of the people pursue the same course. They are economizing in or--der to get out of debt, or to bring their expense within their means. They buy le.gis than formerly, and generally nothing but what they actually need. The donsequeﬁPce of 'afl-this is that manufacturers, merchants, ete., sell less than for some years past, because the demand is less, for everybody is economizing. And hence many laborers who have found work in factories, shops, and on -public improvement: now find it more or less difficult to ohtain steady employment. They of all others most deserve our sympathy, for it ‘was not their errors, speculations, or fast living that produced the distress. But although the present circumstances are trying, the good result of tlie economy of which I have spoken will soon be felt. I am assured by well-informed business men that the liquidation of indebtedness is proceeding with unexampled rapidity. In a short time it will reach the point when stagnation ceasgs and activity begins to revive; andshould we have good crops this year you will soon hear nothing about stagnation busiNess.” S ;

“You don’t believe, then, Judge, that the depression in business results from an insuflicient supply of currency.” > = “Not at all. Why, we have $26,000,000 mrore currency now than we had in the flush times of which I have spoken. Don’t you remember the picture of prosperity that Morton drew in the speech at Athens with which he opened the campaign last year — According to that speech, as well as T recollect it, there never was a country SO prosperous as ours was then. Well, we have $26,000,000 more currency now than we had then. Why, then, are we not more prosperous now than we were then? Thereasonis plain.— The prosperity of which Morton spoke was unreal. It was extravagance, speculation, and fast living. The panic pricked the bubble, and, like sensible men, the people began to retrench and live within their means.” : “Judge,” said I, “do you know that you havebeen called a contractionist ?”

“Yes,” replied he, “by those who were ignorant of my course or meant to misrepresent me. The truth is, I have steadily opposed contraction ever since I have held a seat in the Senate. But I have also opposed inflation. Certain men hope to embark the Federal Government in all manner of schemes of internal improvement that' could not fail, if undertaken and prosecuted, to double the public debt and immensely increase the burden of taxation, already too great, to say nothing of the corruption that would surely follow, and centralization of power in the Federal Government that would necessarily result.— And then there are other men who favor inflation because they believe it would = eventuate in repudiation. And then there are yet others who have their own particular axe to grind —men who are anxious to unload their unsaleable lands, stocks, &c. There are doubtless very many good people who believe in inflation because

they nave peen misfed by tne sophistries of the inflationists and the deluslve cry of ‘more money, as if the wealth of the country could be added to by stamping bits of paper, or by the Government issuing more promises 'to pay and!thereby increasing the public debt. Reflect a little, and you will discover that not one dollar can be added to the actual wealth of a country except by labor. The nominal value of property or labor .may be increased by depreciating the currency, but the, actual yalue is not enhaneed one cent. = And yet there are peo%)le who think, or at least pretend to hink, that all we have to do to get rich is to set the pl‘intillg-presses to work to strike off pictured shin-plas-ters !

“Do you know,” asked the Judge, “how absurd it is for an inflationist to condemn me/ for voting against the bill that was vetoed? Morton and his followers meant by that bill to increase the currency, but they did net understand their own measure until after it had passed, Had it become a law and been executed in conformity to law its practical effect would have been to contract the cireulation, Its immediate effect would have been to lock up within thirty days about $40.000,000 of the bank reserves that are now in circulation, and I am censured by inflationists for voting against a measure like that. The truth is that it. was the most blundering piece of legislation I have ever seen in my life. llad Grant signed it the inflationists would have been compelled, in order te counteract its effects,; to pass another bill, .and. with the least possible delay. No doubt they would have done so, and thus in the end have accomplished their purpose. But the bill they did pass was. from their stand-point utterly absurd, and if not afﬁerwa’rc%sg;zjnpulled would have done much mis¢hief.” : : The Judge stopped speaking, and I said: “Well, Judge, you talk like an old-fashioned; hard-money Democrat.” “And t}m‘t is précisely what I am,” replied le. “You remember,” he continued, “that when'we were much younger than we now are one of our State conventions adopted a brief resolution like this: ‘Hard money is the only currency that defrauds no man.’ I think those are very nearly, if not the exact words. = Well, I drew that resolution because I believed it to be true. The Convention adopted it. It was the chief plank in the platform, and we carried the State. It was reaffirmed again and again by subsequent State conventions, and if you will 'look at the election returns I think you will find that we were generally successful when that was our chief plank, and last year we put a sound plank on this subject in our platform and we redeemed the State. The Democricy of New York adopted it and redeemed their Statd, This spring New Hampshire and Connecticut stood upon it and they are redeemed.” i ; bt ey

" THE BAXTER LAW. : Recent Dee¢ision of the Supreme | Court; The first section of the liquor law of 1873, kowa as the Baxter Bill, reads as follows: “It shall be unlawful for any person or persons, by himself or agent, to sell, barter or give away for any purposeof gain, to any person, intoxicating liquor, to be drunk in, upon, or about the building or premises, wlhere the lquor is sold, bartered or given away, or in any room, building or premises adjoining to or connected with the placge whereliquor is sold, &e.”

Under this section one O’Conner was prosecuted and convicted in the Circuit Court of Jasper county. He appealed to the Supreme Court, and the opinion -of that court, as given in the Indianapolis papexs, is as follows: The evidence as to the liquor having been sold to be drunk “in, upon or about” the pr}mi’s_es, was as follows: B testified that he and L drove up to the defendant’s place of business in a buggy or light wagon, and opposite to a door that opened on the street; that they drove up close to the door, and that the witness bought of the defendant a.bottle of beer; that the defendant handed the bottle out to them, and that they drank it seated in the wagon; that the defendant gave them no glass to drink out of; that the liquor was in the bottle at the time it was handed to them ; that they paid twenty cents for it. | : - i

Held, the verdict was not supported by the evidence. Reversed. | O’Connor vs. the State. Jasper C.C. Buskirk, J. | - iy Conviction under section 19 of the liquor law of 1873. Tlie defendants sold the witness a bottle of beer without anything being said by the former as to where it was to be drank. The defendant took it and went to a shed in a public street, fifteen or twenty feet from the place where it was sold, and not connected with or adjoining it, and there drank it. The defendant had no control over the shed, and it was used-by another person. Held, the evidence did not sustain the verdict. - Reversed. :

! Nature’s Cathartic. No medicine is needed to keep the bowels in order as long as nature’s cathartic, the bile, flows freely and regularly from its source in the liver, and is of the right strength and quality. But the great biliary gland is easily disordered, and the consequences of its irregularities are serious. To bring it back to its natural condition when thus affected, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters should be taken at least twice a day until the desired object is attained. Constipation is due to a scant supply of bile, or to a lack of the stimulating element in that fluid. In either case, mere purgation is useless. The liver must be compelled to yield the supply of bile necessary to remove the waste-matter from the system at least once in twenty-four hours before a radical cure of costiveness can be accomplished. Hostetter’s Bitters produees this effect. Its action upon the stomach and liver is direct and salutary, and through these organs it regulates and invigorates the whole frame, [n6-4w

BRAZIL AND UNITED STATES. The Case of James \!"’u,'iﬁo'n ‘Webb tooks worse the move it is investigated. Here are the facts, and they make their own comment. The telegram of Mr. Webb changes none of the facts, asyet growing out of the :izvest;igation; The only thing that can change public opinion is to show that Mr. Webb paid. over the money not sent to ‘Washington to other parties—but.even if this! was done, the Government was bound ‘ to know the'fact:: ' o L

In 1842 a Peruvian vessel, the Catherine; in distress, put into a port in ‘Brazil. ‘There being. no Peruvian ‘Consul, the captain applied to the Brazilian authorities for-a strvey. A report was made that the vessel could not be repaired, and it wassold. ‘This’ réport as to the condition of the vessel was fraudulent. The vessel was insured in New York and Philadelphia,«and the insurance-paid. - The companies prosecuted a suit in *‘t-hevi Brazilian Courts against the captain, | and the former decree conidemning thevessel ‘and ordering its sale was set aside. But thevessel was gone. One Wells, who had been U. 8. Consul at St. Catherines, in Brazil, purchased the claim and made a demand against Brazil: . ITe presented it to'the U..S. Government, who referred. it tothe: American Minister, in Brazil, to be’ presented. The claim was rejected by’ the Brazilian- Government, and the matter was pending when James Wat-. son Webb was appointed Minister to. Brazil by Mr. Lincoln.. :;&le‘ was not impressed with ‘the justice 'of theclaim, and: during the. war was instructed to avoid any controversy and not to press it. In 1867, Mr. Webb: urged it vigorously upon mez'i.l,'iyheﬁﬁ! the Government was engaged in warwith Paraguay and -in_distress for means he informed the Brazilian authorities, just as'a steamer was about to leave for Europe, that he we??ud' sever his diplomaticrelations, demand his passports and sénd- to Europe, information of these facts, unless the money was paid. - The. Government of Brazil, protesting - tliat.it ‘was not liable, paid the money to Mr. Webh; the eclaim -amounting 'to . ’£’1,‘;,25.2 sterling, or amounting to-about $71,2000 gold: o 0 sl e

The United States investigated the claim, and the Attorney-General gaye an opinion that there was no ground for holding Brazil responsible. Mz, Webb, in his dispatch concerning payment, remitted a draft for £5,000 sterling, and the Department supposed that was the whole sum_ received by him, and the money was invested. in U. S. bonds until the matter could -be investigated. This took'a long time, and, when, it was concluded, the President ordered thé return 6f the money to Brazil. The 'Brazilian Minjster then informed the United States that the £s,ooo'was only a portion of the amount paid to ‘Mr. . Webb, and this was the first knowledge of the' real facts possessed by our Government.— Mr. Webb states that he had been- at expense -in having the ‘claim passed in Brazil, but gave no particulars, and would not state what he .had done with the money. Investigations in Brazil established the fact that the money was paid in three drafts, one for £5,000, one for £3,352, and one for £5,000. The first of these was received by the United States; the second was discounted in Brazil, and probably spent there; and the third was placed to the private account of M. Webb in London. TUnder these circumstaneces, of course the money should be refunded to the Govermment of Igrazil.‘ Lol O i

Profits of Sheep Farming in Nebraska The farmer who settles on the fertile prairie of Nebraska, should make “live-stock” .a watchword. A: correspondent in that State sends us the following encouraging “showing,” made by Mr. Myers, of Gage county, a sheep farmer, who has been about four years in Nebraska. Gage county is in the southern portion of the State; and a branch of-the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad runsthroughit: The land is good and the natural grasses sweet and nutritive; but it is no more than a fair average of Nebraska, south of the Platte, = Coh

Mr. Myers thus “figures” the problem of sheep farming in Nebraska, with a flock of 1,000 head :—lOO tons of thay, costing $3,00 per ton. for putting up, $300; 500 bushels’ of sheaf oats, $10@; shepherding for-8 months, $150; wages of one man for 4 months, $100; do., one month $3O; washing, shearing and packing wool, $2OO ; salt, $35: shedding for winter, $5O; losses at two per cent., s7o—-total, $1,035.— By 4,500 llbs. of wool, at 40c. per b, $1,800; 400 lambs, at $2,50, $1,000; total, $2,800. ' [ o i e { Mr. Myers considers his allowance for expenses very liberal. Ile charges hay at too high figures; and the/percentage of loss is not generally.so large as stated, as sheep. are subject to no. disease whatever, on "the Nebraska prairie. One man also. could take charge of a flock of a thousand during the summer months; and, in winter,’ one boy could feed them, as it is best to let the sheep run to the hay all the time, and the oals are to be fed in the. sheaf. Mr. Myers further claims that if a farmer will .do most of his. work himself, hiring help only when it is neccessary—far harvesting hay, shearing, &ec., the sheep will pay him $3.00 per head, as against $2.00 when help is hired liberally. Mr. Myers estimates his sheep to be worth -$3.50 each. On 1,000 sheep the investment would be $3,500; and, as the net profit shown. above amounts to $1,765, the return. on the investment is over 50 per cent.

¥ Elkhart County Items. - [From the Goshen Democrat.] = There will be more independent Yoting in Elkhart county at the next election than was ever known before, Stick a pin there! It'will require something more than an endorsement by a republican convention to get a candidate safely through at/ the next election. Money is the prize for which they wrestle, but therace is notalways to the swift or the battle te the strong. “Look out. There is more safety in any other kind ef work. : Dr. Fowler, of Bristol, an® old and consistent temperance man, in his adr dress to. the ladies of Elkhart, appeals to them to see that a prohibition of the liquor traffic is made one of the planks in the republican platform at their convention in this county. We bet they dare notput it in, and we bet further, Brush, of the Observer, will oppose putting it in! How now?

The- crusade men and women of ‘Warsaw made abrutal and outrageous assault upon an innocent and unoffending citizen of that town, nearly depriving him of his life, and which laid him up several weeks with his injuries, and when they were tried for the attempted murder, the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty! | 'We are of the opinion that Esquire Bates is an old scoundrel, and would always -decide contrary to law where the case did not agree with his personal feelings. Joe Wright and John 'Hull are also two villainous cowards. Warsaw is a -lovely hole just now!" - : " Dr. W. C. Harrington has returned from his California visit, anEl is now living in Chicago again. He was in the city a short time‘last week, and we mugt say that he was looking bet‘ter than we ever saw him before~— {California certainly must be a healthy counfry. i

To show to what an extent temperafice fanaticism can be carried we give the particulars of a case which was brought before Esq. Howenstine one day last week. The widow Kessler lives a little over a mile north of town, on a farm purchased by her husband just before his death.' She was left with'a large family and a heavy incumbrance upon the place. Her boys were ‘hardworking and, industrious, and each one sought employment to help their mother to saw€ their land. ‘Some four weeks since a boy of this town who was put out to live in the country in the same neighborhood, some 14 or 15 years of age, paid a visit upon Sunday te the Kessler’s, and, while:Doc Kessler was ‘;lt-ting on the porch, slipped into the room where a little cider was in a pitcher, and drank. Soon after a young man came in and after chatting with Doc Kessler he ‘was invited to take a drink of cider! Finding none in the pitcher Doc went down and drew some more and poured out a glass for his friend, upon which the boy came forward and also asked for a glass, which was readily given to. him. Soon after he called on Doe for another glass, which was refused, as it ‘was plain to be seen that the boy was affected by what he had already drank. - e went home and nothing more was heard of the circumstance until the boy was put up to come before Esq. Howenstine of this city, and make affidavit against young Kessler, under the Baxter law, who was arrested and fined—cost and all to the amount of 18 or 14 dollars. If any of our readers consider this any better than legalized robbery they have a better opinion of the act than we have. We blame the law that enables such contemptible scoundrels as the man who put this boy up to this trick, to carry into ex%cution his mean spite against a neighor.

This is a fair business for the dull times.

STEP by step the moderate Republicans have allowed themselves to be crowded on in this matter, at one time cajoled by a plausible philanthropy, at another stimulated by prospects of party advantage, until they find themselves the endorsers of ideas which less than ten years ago they would have spewed out of their motiths, We have no words of consolation for these, because they walked with their eyes open amd might have read the signs of the times if they but would. Threefourths of them to-day acknowledge that the granting of universal negro suffrage was a grave mistake, and a still larger proportion will ere long recognize the folly of the -present enactment. We take a grim satisfaction in commending the chalice to their own lips.—Daviess county Demolerat: 1
