Ganhe Attached fo any Common Plow

Ever sincé the days of Adam, man has been required to till the ground, and earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. - But now, iu this age of improvement and machinery, when everybody is seeking ease and comfort he prefers to sweat as little as possible—to think more and sweat less. The Plow was one of the "elarliesﬁ farm implements invented, and for many thousands of years the farmer has been wearily walking after it.— But why should he continue to walZ when he can just as well ride 2 and make his toils less and lLis comforts more; It has been Hfully demonstrated that a Sulky can be attached to a Plow—any good: plow—and do better work with greater ease to the team, and' certainly more comfort and pleasure to the man or boy, than if he were to trudge the weary rounds to hold and guide. Now the question is, where can the best Sulky be had? We have given the Plow Sulky question our special attention, and can confidently assert that the. Buckeye Sulky has more points of excellence than any other in the market.

There is not a better opening for a first-class newspaper in Indiana than at Fort Wayne. All that is required to make the Fort Wayne Gazelte a financial success is money and business qualifications, and if Messrs. ‘Williams & Hossler-have the “stamps” they need have no fears of a failure. We know whereof we speak, having. been there ourself.—Valparaiso Messenger. = | : i Well, men of means and very fair business qualifications have tried it on and were invariably glad to get out. .Facts are, the printing business is woefully overdone at Fort Wayne, and- prices have been -run down to such ruinous figures that a fair profit on ordinary work is simply out of question. : ] > DE—— ; Toe New York State ‘Senate has passed a bill to authorize free instrucs tion in drawing in' the public schools of that State.

It is a constantly recurring disability ‘in nearly every mechanical occupation ‘that operatives are unable to sketch or delineate their work with any degree of proportion or correctness.

- Mousing around as usual for a subject upon which T might again discourse with .some interest to your readers, and this being the season in which many of our people take no little interest in such a subject, I have concluded to take my spear and have a thrust at our useless and unpgpular

: fo FISHRLAWD - o i This law, you will remember, was passed in 1871; and I may safely say, so far as our own section of the State is concerned, that a more odious one cannot be found in our statutes. This law was enacted for the benefit of those who simply make fishing a passtime. To those who fish with the ‘patent fly and gilded reels, and who -simply seek sport and not food; who with : ; ; KID GLOVES : and sandwichies and liquid bait, skim in painted boats over our lakes and streams in searClx%f: amusement, this law is all that.could be desired. Acecording to this law no one is allowed to “take any fish with a gig or spear during the months of March, April, May, November and December.” Nor shall any one “take any fish with a net, seine, or set net, etc.,” except it be for “minnows for bait.”” But one ihas free access to the Olio river with all these appliances, and I suppose the Legislature thought that we ought to be very thankful that'we can all spear fish or net them in the Ohio river.. The lakes scattered all over this county have beeg since its settlement the Toma :

. FISH BARRELS : of our people. To these the poor man has been for many years accustomed to go and obtain the meat in which he stood so much in need for his family. No one eyer ‘accused him of wantonly destroying the game in our lakes. No ‘one ever thought-that it was an excuse for idleness that impelled him with his unerring spear and hickory bark to search along the lakes for the food he so:much desired. It cost him only his time, and money was scarce and his little ones needed nourishment. For more:than

: THIRTY YEARS . the poor man has had access to these lakes and streams and no one ever thought to question bis right. "But this is an age of Sporting Clubs, The scientific fishermen from Chicago and Cincinnati, with' their - imitatives among us, want the fish unmolested | in order that they may’ have theit sport. The fine fish of our:lakes and streams are for the stranger and the nabob. The poor man and his family must stand back until they know how to fish with patent flies and reels, and: all the faney fixings of the modern fishermen. And has it come to this? Is it any worse to take a big pike with a spear than with a hook? Is the poor man to_be deprived of the meat which God has provided;because some | fancy sportsman wants to'amuse himself with his patent hook? These fish ‘are the free gift of bounteous Provi«dence, and that is a selfish and tyrannical law that discriminates about how the needy shall catch them. How | often have our old farmers; after a hard day’s work, when the pork and beef were gone, gathered the hickory bark, and-with spear in hand, slowly paddled around the lake in search: of meat for the' faithful wife and little ones? How his throbbing heart swelled with pleasure and triumph as he sent, home the trusty spear into the broad back of .the mighty fish? It ‘was pleasure as well as work. He was taking up God’s free gifts that were scattered in the water.for his humble and toiling creatures as well as for his-sandpapered and polished | ones. Who gainsayed the poor man’s privilege ?° Who then thonght of laws | to prevent the man in his. homespun clothes from fishing with his spear? But the world moves. Times change and fishing now is a fine art. i But it will be claimed by the defenders of the law that something’ was needed to preserve the fish in.our lakes and streams from total destruction. This is all bosh. In all the range of animated creation nothing is, more prolific than our fresh water fish. | With all the nets and spears that

‘might be uséd in this‘county, it would' \ be,imgorssi»blé to keep down the yearly: increase. The defenders of the law seem to go on the assumption that the poor man only seeks to destroy fish. That his spear and net would destroy in mere wantonness. This is not so. The poor man is-as anXxious -to preserve fish gs the sportsman “can possi- | bly be. Observation has taught him that but a small part of.the yearly increase of fish:are caught. - And the whole argument falls to the ground: 'bgfore the parquunt necessity that overrides everything-when he knows that he must have fish for his family. Sport and patent hooks and kid gloves and faney.reels, and all these things are well enough’ in their place, but they are awkwardly out of place when they seek to abridge the poor man's right to catch fish. o 1 am as much opposed as any one to_the wanton destruction of fish or any other game.

Story of a Lixhtnlng-l!od Peddler. (From the Madison (Ind.) Courier.)

" He drove his team close up to the fence, goft down, and rapped at the door. The widow Gilkens opened it, when he said:, “Mrs. Gilkens, lam cognizant of the circumstances Dby which you are at present surrounded, left as you are to trudge down the journey ‘of life through a cold and heartless world—no longer sustained and encouraged by the noble one to whom you gave the treasures of your heart’s affection, and bowed down by the manifold cares: and responsibilities incidental 'to the rearing 'of eight small’ children on forty acres of subcarboniferous limestone land; yet, Mrs. Gilkens, you are aware that the sedson is now approaching when dark, dismal, dangerous clouds at frequent intervals span the canopy of heaven; and when zigzag streaks of electricity dart promiscuously hitherand thither, rendering this habitation unsafe for yourself and those dear little ones—hence, therefore let me sell you a copper wire, silver-tipped, highly magnetic lightning rod.” o The woman staggered back a few paces and yelled: = “Narcis! unfasten old Cronch!” . In anothier instant a savage bull-dog came darting ,around the corner of the house with brustles up, thirsting for gore. The ‘dog had already mangled a machine:agent and a patent soap man, and was held in great esteem by the better class of citizens for his courage and service; but_.when his eye met the hard penetrating gaze of Mr. Parsons, his chops fell, and he slinked off and hid in the currant bushes.: Then the man said: “My dear lady, you seem to be 4 little excited. . Now- if you - will allow me to explain the probable inestimable—” “Dern ye, I know something that will start ye,” said Mrs. Gilkens, as she reached under some bed-clothing, and brought forth" a horse-pistol; but, owing to the shattered condition of her nerves, her aim was unsteady, and the charge of buckshot missed, save where a few scattered ones struck his cheek and glanced off. A hard metalic smile spread over his couqtenan%e, as he leanded his shoulder against the door frame, and again' commenced: “My dear madame, such spasmodic manifestations of your disinclination to make a judicious investment of a few paltry dollars—" » ; . “Hi—-co!” shrieked the widow, and collapsed into a kind of jerking swoon, and before she had recovered a highly magnetic lightning rod decorated her humble domicile, and Patsons had the blank note filled out already for her signature. : o

Bad State of Morals at Elkhart. ; (From the Elghart Review,) :

Of late reports have come to us of a growing licentiousness among the boys and girls of Elkhart that threatens to engulf them all in the very hell of depraved habits. School boys and school: girls, some of them hardly in their teens, are guilty of Vices and crimes' that it would stagger their friends to think of. And yet to us,as in a measure conservators of the morals of .our community, come almost daily, well authenticated reports of tite depraved habits of boys too young to know the full effects, and girls too immature to realize the sins they are guilty of. ‘We are writing no sensational article. * We write whereof we have thought deeply, and we confess that we have many a time felt like going to the parents of some of these children with 'the stories which have become so common. The purpose of this brief statement of facts is to open the eyes of all parents to the truth that their children, if not yet the vietims of these vices, are surrounded by those who are, and who would take delight in debauching the minds of the pure, and begetting in others habits of which they themselves are guilty. ILook after your girls and boys, keep them at home and out of questionable company, teach yourselves that they are yet too young to be trusted alone, and guard them carefully from the evils of bad associ‘ates’ as you would from the hand of the murderer. - i

One Way for a Drunkard to Reform. Let every young man whose appetite for drink is consciously growing, but whose conscience isnot yet seared by confirmed, habit, adopt the plan of making an accurate note of how he feels in the morning after drinking too muach the night before. . Let him ana-' lyze as nearly in detail as he ean his thoughts and reflections when he first wakes up, and put down in black and white a plain, truthful description of them. I de not refer to the sense of physical pain or discomfort which ale ways follows a debauch, but to his moral conditions in the early morning, and in the absence.of the fictitious excitement of conviviality. ILet this be ‘done conscientiously, and let the young man read over his own words: carefully, and endeavor to thoroughly realize what he has described on paper, every time hethinks of taking a drink, and I believe that most young men controlled by principle, actuated by a ‘desire to doright, and st-rug%lle against the inherent weakness of human nature, would in a short’ time come to ‘the conclusion that ‘the “game is not worth the candle,” and in many cases eventually give up the desire to in‘dulge in so treacherous and delusive a relief from ennui—so dangerous and false a means of excitment. :

THE BROOKLYN SCANDAL. THE EVIDENCE ‘A‘rm‘ IN. Arguments of Counsel commenced i Yesterday. 915 ‘Theodore Tilton took the stand in the Brooklyn city court.on the 11th, and proceeded to deny generally and specifically all of the allegations made by the defense affecting his character. He declared that he had never slept at Mrs. Woodhull’s; had never taken breakfast at her bedroom; had never told her she would be a made woman' if she would publish the scandal; did not ride with Woodhull -in the Rossel procession; and was not present when the proof-slips of the. “true story” were alleged to have been read to a number of parties. On the latter point Tilton succeeded in proying acomplete alibi; for he was allowed to read a list of his lecturing engagements in the west, which covered the period when, it was alleged, he was conspiring to have the scandal published. Pl

This testimony is ‘i({nportantf only . in one respect. The'defense undertook to discredit Tilton’s testimony by proving that Le had been an-intimate. of the Woodhull and other free-love devotees, and had conspired. with them to give the scandal a wide publicity. By proving the falsity of this testimony, Tilton shows himself to'be at least on a par in respect to credi~ bility with the witnesses for the defense. He has not reinforced his accu-. sations against - Beecher with any additional facts, nor, indeed, was that. neceessary or allowable on rebuttal.— To maintain his own chardctér as a witness and as a man was his main purpose, and he has succeeded remarkably well in that. : : Mrs. Woodhull came into court on the 12th, furnished papers. to both: sides, made a little speech and retired unsworn. John Napoleon . Longhi was recalled to amend previous testimony of his own. Mr. Moulton was recalled to: contradict Mr. Beecher; Mr. Tracy, and the arbitrators Storrs, Claflin and Freeland. - Mr. Andrews’ was recalled to identify a lease, and; with him the rebuttal rested. In suarrebuttal Mr. Freeland was recalled to contradict Mr. Bowen, and Mrs. Ovington was recalled to contradict A. 8.Martin and Mr. Tilton. S We have a bit of good news for our | readers. The testimony in the TiltenBeecher trial closed on.the 13th, and the Court took a rest until yesterday: (Wednesday). The oratorical work | will then begin, and will last six or seven days. It is expected now that the case: will be given to the jury the first week in June. A day of thanks-' giving and prayer might be ordered by way of return for the blessing vouchsafed in the closing of the testimony.

Mass State Temperance Convention. ' The second Mass Temperance Convention of the State of Indiana, under the auspices of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of the 'State, is hereby called to -assemble im the First Baptist Church, in the city of Indianapolis, at 2 o’clock P. M., on Wednesday, June 9, 1875, to continue: throughout Thursday and one-half .of Friday, June 10th and 11th. = . Believing that the temperance question has become of paramount importance in the church, Sabbath-school, in legislation and in society, and that the evils of intemperance can only besuppresseéd by the combined moral forces and powers of law in the State, it has been determined by the executive committee to invite all churches, Sabbathschools, and temperance organizations to send representatives, and to ask members and ex-members of the State Legislature and National Congress; ministers of the gospel, lawyers, physicians, teachers, and all- men and women of Indiana who deplore the evils of intemperance, to come to this convention, and assist. in devising measures, which, with the blessing of God, shall ultimately result in its suppression. ; g

The South and il;e Presidency. | [From the Winamac Demecrat.] =

An Evansville paper would convey the impression that during the Edito-’ rial Excursion South, the people every--where were anxious to have Thomas A. Hendricks nominated by the next Democratic National Convention for the Presidency. The only expression we heard in connection- with the subject was in the address at Tallahassee by the Speaker in hig welcoming address. =We believe he did say, that the people of the South would have preferred in the last Presidential campaign the present Governor of Indiana, to Mr. Greeley, who had always been considered as a life-lopng antagonist.to . the South. =As far as we heard any ‘expression in private ¢ircles, the South® is not gushing after Thomas A.—While they expect a western mgn. they do not consider it ‘indispensable to the success of the ticket that he'should come from Indiana, or that Thomas A. Hendricks should necessarily be theman. We heard the name of Thurman, of Ohio, more frequently and favorably mentioned than “Indiana’s favorite son.” = . Ca e Trae Lewistown' (Pa.) Qazette says: » A pocket book containing $640 having: been lost, the owner, S. K. Zook, offer-. ed $lOO reward for its return. The pocket baok was found by Solomon Yoder, and as soon as he ascertained. whose it was—there being nothing in it to show the owner—he promptly forwarded it to Mr. Zook, who in turn wias equally prompt in sending back the $lOO reward, but Mr. Yoder would . not have it, declaring he ‘did n't want to be paid for being honest.” The ~answer is somewhat, characterlstic of our Omish friends, but affords food for reflection to all classes, both old ~and young, too many of whom want _to be paid for being honest.” + = .
