Mr. TiLUfN—Samuel J.—weighs twenty -five pounds more than he did a year ago. The increase of adipose tissue is the effect, of a Democratic victory upon the Ex-President. Indiana is going to lead in the coal markets. The State is taking precedence over Illinois, and is after more pretentious rivals. Next year will witness a great increase in Indiana’s productions. __ Liuct-Gov. Masson is spoken of in connection with the Pension office. We hope the Geueral—a soldier in two wars—will get the appointment. It would be gratifying to Republicans and Democrats alike, especially to •oldiers. Thkkk is a great war against rollerskating. The doctors disagree, some maintaining that the pastime is a healthy one, while others contend that it is injurious. Many of the doctors state that roller-skating, like dancing and similar forms of physical exercise, is not injurious if indulged in moderately and sensibly. Perhaps those who are against it cau not skate. Extra sessions have ruined administrations that called them. Since Jackson's time four have been called, and each destroyed the President that countenanced it, except Lincoln; and Sn liis case it was an emergency—the Civil war. This is a strong pointer for the Democrats in the preseut Congress to avoid leaving the public business in such a condition that Mr. ‘Cleveland will he compelled to call -an extra session. IIon. Wm. D. II. Hunter, editor of the Lawrcneebnrg Register, is prominently mentioned for the Collectorship of Internal Revenue for his district. Mr. Hunter is the prince of .good fellows, has long been a worker in tlie ranks, canvassed the State as Klccilor-at-Large in the last campaign, and is every way worthy of the place. The Democrat unites with the press of the State in recommending Mr. Hunter for the office; the “boys” would be glad to see so prominent and hardworking member of the fraternity recognized, and will give“threechecrs ■and a tiger” for the editor of the Lawrenceburg Register. It does not seem to be clearly settled, says the Evansville Courier, that Mr. McDonald is to go into the cabinet, although Senator Voorhees, Representative Cobb and others who made recent visits to Mr. Cleveland, report the outlook favorable. Olio correspondent makes the very singular suggestion that Mr. McDonald is to be set aside to make room for Thurman. We caa hardly credit this statement. It certainly wonld display very questionable political sagacity to create a. faction light in Indiana, where all is now harmony, that ex-Seuator Thurman, the leader ofafactiou fight that has been going ou for rears among our amiable Democratic brethren of Ohio, may have a place. McDouald may fail of recognition, aud the rupture that would almost certainly result between his friends aud those of Mr. Hendricks may be postponed to 1888. But if Thurman, or any other Ohio man should wiu the prize, there would be merry war between the factions in this State at one* and to the death.

A coRitrsroxnENT of the-Priuceton Democrat, gives the following shot at the fellow* harping about the State treasury investigation: EXfGoyeraor Porter, in relinquishing the last stronghold of the State to his political opponents, thought to throw a bomb of consternation into the Democratic ranks by insinuating in his final message that the people's money was in danger of being lost through the injudicious management ot the » ctate Treasury, and recommended that a committee be appointed to investigate the condition of the State treasury. In re. spout* to this appeal, a joint committee was appoi nted to consider this portion of Gov. Porter's message, to report what legislation, if any^is necessary, and whether or not a detailed investigation by a legislative committee rea|ly would be proper or necessary. L ndsr this commission the committee called' upon the Auditor of State, sad found the Treasurer chargeable w ith $4ae,881; whereupon they visited the Treasurer and he exhibited assets amounting to $#l,SKt, *7,750 of which was in actual cash, $410,(M» consisted of drafts, checks and aertificates of , deposit, drawn on various banks of the State of Indiana, and the balance consisted of county oncers, any and all of which are good and can be at any moment, and some of them since then nave been converted into cash. Finding things in this condition the majority of the committee reported an investigation unnessaryy but the Republicans, taking up the war cry of their ex-Goveirnor, loudly complain that the law prohibits the ‘ Treasurer's depositing the State’s mooev in banks. True, the statute of 1*59 does so provide, but it also says the State shall provide suitable sales, vaults, Ac., in which to keep the money, but has it ever done It? Xot a bit of it. Then what is the Treasurer to do with it, carry It in his book? Every Treasurer since 1*58 has deposited the money in banks, no loss has been sustained, nor is any likely to be sustained, and until the completion of the State bouse, at least, it is the only way in which the money con Ms SvIMt dtvp-sad of.

In the Republican National platform, 1884, are the words— ‘■The public lands are a heritage of the people of the United States and should he reserved, as Car as possible, for small buildings bv actual settlers. We are opposed to the acquisitioa of large tracts of land bv corporations or indnriduala, especially where such holdings are in the hands of nonresident aliens, and we will endeavor to obtain such legislation aa will tend to correct this evil. We demand of Congress a speedy forfeiture or all land grants which have lapsed by reason of non-compliance with sets of incorporation in all cases where there has been no attempt iu good faith to perform the the condition of such grants.’’ „ A few days ago the Republican United States Senate refused to take uptbelaud forfeiture bill that, was passed by the House with only one dissenting vote. This has caused just indignation throughout the whole eountry. An exchange says: “When the bill was pending to extend the time given to the Texas Pacific to earn its land grant from El Paso to the Pacific, C. P. Huntingtou and his partners plied Congress with the argument that the grant was already forfeited, and that to renew it would be to throw the land away, as his company was building a road over the same route and would complete it without any grant. He did build hiB road without any grant. The Texas Pacific stopped at El Paso, and the grant was never earned. But now he claims that he has earned it, and that by simply purchasing the fiuished portion of the Texas l’acitio and Uniting it with his road, he has acquired a title to all the land the T. 1‘. would have earned if it had been completed.” The Republican Senate stands by Huntingtou and the railroad syndicate against the people.' Referring to the platform, “consistency, thou art a jewel,” indeed! The Jasper Courier says: “The people should remember that the Democratic House passed a bill reported by our Representative, lion. T. HUCobb, forfeiting the Texas Pacific grant, and opening the land to homesteaders a year ago last January, and that ithas lain on the Republican Senate’s table ever since, notwithstanding the Republican National Convention last July adopted a {dank iu its platform demanding the forfeiture of unearned land grants.” . . > _ , * The Republican party is placed on record as favoring monopolists. Hou. Ben. Harrison, who misrepresents this State iu theUnited States Senate, voted with the railroad ring.

“A Solid North and a Solid South” so prominently referred to during the last campaign arc not so sotid after all, as the following will show. The figures of the last Presidential election demonstrate that the Democracy haTe uo actual majority iu several Southern States, and the plurality in five at least is very small. Take for instance tho following States: Florida, with a total vote of 59,961, gave Cleveland a plurality of 3,571. ’Maryland, with a total vote of 185,866. gave Cleveland a plurality of 7 998. Tennessee, with a total vote of 1159,424, gave Cleveland a plurality of 7,092. Virginia, with a total vote of 234,991, gave Cleveland a plurality of-6,003. West Virginia, with a total vote of132,157, gave Cleveland a plurality of2,477. Blaine's plurality is alike trifling in several Northern States. Here are the figures from four of them: Illinois, with a total vote of 672,668, gave Blaine a plurality of 2,269. Michigan, with" a total vote of406,223, gave Blaine a plurality of 3,308. Wisconsin, with a total vote of-319,879, gave Blaine a plurality of 2,444. - Oregon, with a total vote of 52,7331, gave Blaine a plurality of 988. In the great State of Sew Tork, Mr.. Cleveland received only a plurality of 1,947 iu a total vote of 1,171,263. Have you noticed that this severe winter weather commenced on the 4th of November ? points au exchange. No doubt it will continue till March 4th. It has been a cold winter to Republicans. The skies have been bright, politically to Democrats; for the Republicans it has been a “winter of discontent” The Louisville Courier-Journal is prompted to say: An industrial exchange remarks that “the bone market, along with other industries, is depressed.” This is another depression in business which is probably due to Cleveland’s election. The bone market is. doubtless depressed in anticipation of au overstocked bone yard us soou as the new administration is fairly at work among the Republican office holders. The Secretary of the State Board of Health reports the following number of deaths during 1884, iu Indiana, from the troublesome diseases named : Diphtheria, 237; typhoid fever, 596; scarlet fever, 178* cerebro spinal fever, 147; smallpox, 100; whooping cough, 152; measles, 124. The Washington Post observes that “the thermometer at Savannah, Ga., fell to 39 degrees, and it was called a ‘blizzard.’ The thermometer at Pierre, Dakota, rose to zero, and the Pcterites congratulated themselves on the Jaunary thaw.” England has her hands iull with the rebellions Arabs. Gen. Gordon is dead; fell fighting for thegratification of Johnny Bull. “Veu you hunt zee lion, you have gr-rcat sport. But veu zee lion hunt yon—sacr-r-r-e!” The Father of our country will always be in the memories of Americans. Last Stiuday was the 153d anirersarr. Century after centnry George’s name will be called up, at least annually.

-.Mr. Arthur has made a good President, is the general comment, now that he ia taking his leave. As he goes out he should “tread aisyAte jacet, Republican party. Rossa and Mrs. Dudley have gained their reputatiox( ?) and now let them pass out of sight. The country awaits the next sensation. Railroad wrecks are of daily occurrence during the cold weather. Travel with an “accident policy” in your pocket. One sad case of destitution has corns to the notice of the writer. It is a close resemblance to the scene from “Joshua Whitcomb.” There is the seaat furniture, the dimly lighted room, the poorly clad childreu, and a scarcity of the necessities of life. The family consists of husband, wife and six children. Generous hands have removed the pangs of hunger; they have provided for their temporary wants, and the worst is over. May be more can yet be done. The doming of spring will relieve these j»o<>r people from the state kind people has made bearable. The mild temperature and bright warm days will be sunlight to these unfortunates—work for the husband, and a ray of light and hope into the house he id the win* tor has made desolato.

THE LEGISLATURE. Mltovlal Cwrnfntci

Indianapolis, Feb. 24,1885. Only a few days over a week intervenes between now and the dual adjournment of the Legislature. The near approach of the close of the session causes the members to become anxious and apprehensive lest their measures and pet schemes fail to get through for want of time, and things are being rushed up, and divers means are resorted to in order to hurry np the committee work. Many good and meritorious measures are still iu the hands of the various committees, and it is not at all probable that even the bills which have not fouud their way into pigeon holes will get back for second reading. However this anxiety for pet measures will have a good effect, namely, that of pushing along the routine work; audit is my opinion that the legislative machinery will be kept well oiled and ruuuing on full time from now until the end. I shall not be at all surprised if night sessions of both brandies are not soon instituted, so very desirous are the members to get through and adjourn without holding a specials cssion.Most members already have their work completed, and are now ready for an adjournment fine die, even before the time allotted by law. One day last week Senator Smith, of Jeuuings county, the particular champion of the workingmen(?), introduced a recolutiou setting the day of final adjournment on the 2d of March, one week earlier than the expiration of the regular expiration of the term— 61 days. But the resolution died a hornin’—promptly and unanimously, almost, voted down. This same Smith introduced a resolution calling for night sessions. He has so many of these pet schemes, that it goes without sayiug that he is all buncombe, and lie is more of a demagogue than a patriot. I am glad the chances for au extra session are so very slim. There is, or should be, no earthly need of an extra session. There have been nearly or quite 350 bills introduced, many of which are useful, or would be should they become laws; but where there is one really meritorious measure there are ten which should never have been introduced, and having been introduced and gone to the committees, should never see day-light again, but rest safely and' securely on the shelf where they belong. As I predicted in a former (letter, this is a Legislature of no small investigation proclivities. Auother cause of investigation has been unearthed, and a committee is busily at work on the same. I allude to that of Assistant Secretary Huffstetter, of the Senate, agaiust whom charges of crooked conduct were made by a morning paper of this city during the week. Huffstetter is charged with having drawu at least $75 more than his salary for the wfiole session Would amount ten, and hasextrd men on bis pay roll, the said extra men not having been assigned to duty, and having performed none whatever.; The committee will make a report some time this week,but of wliat nature I can not say. It is to be hoped, however, that nothing of the charges is true-, and that the young man will be exhonerated. There is no telling who or what next will be taken up as a subject for investigation, unless the session comes to a close speedily. The Kuightstown and Asyluasjhivestigation Committees will probably make reports the first of this week. Of that of the Asylums I know but little or nothing, and not much more of the Knightstowu affair, other than that the testimony so far taken has been in the main damaging to Trustee John M. Goar, of the Home foir the Soldiers' Orphans, and that Mr. Goalwill have to go. And if all is true he should go, and not staud on the order of his going. Iu the House the Democrats have substituted the majority for the twothird rule, aud the same will be adopted by the Senate, tiius -enabling the bodies to take up important measures, * f, the Reapportionment and Appropriation Bills, out of their regular order. The Republicans kicked vigorously and protested in violent language against tiiis move, charactern-1 ing the same as ‘‘infamous gag rule,” &e., &c. But nodifference; they grinned and laughed in their sleeve two years ago when in the Senate the Republicans, aided by a Lieutenant Governor of their own, perpetrated an outrage upon the Democratic majority and blocked legislation for several days and nights in order to prevent the passage of the Metropolitan Police Bill. It makes a great difference whose ox is gored.

PERSONAL. MENTION. The wife and little daughter of W. P. Knight are visiting the city. The wife of J. L. "West, Minute Clerk of the Senate, has returned to her home. John Nester, Doorkeeper of the Senate, visited his family at Boopville last Sunday. Harry llahm, mother and sister, of Evansville, visited Senator Kalnu sevdays last week. » John B. Cockrnn, a leading attorney of Boonville, spent several days last week visiting the Legislature. Journal Clerk Johu JI. Anderson of the Senate, was called to his home at Jeffersonville on Friday by the illness of his wife, Auditor W.J. Beth ell, of Pike, was again in thceity during the week laboring for the change of the county •eat in Pike county. The. estimable wives of Seuators McCullough aud Richardson are still here, but like their husbands, are praying for the “last day.'’ Messrs. Curran A. DeBrnler and Eugene Eigleliart, two prominent members of th( Evansville btr, were in attendance a the Legislat n > last we*V.

Brief Paragraphs Concerning Oar Law nakrri.

Senator McIntosh has introduced a bill to abolish the State Board of Health. By a close vote, 47 to 40, Congressional apportionment bill eras taken up out of its regular order and passed Tuesday by a vote of 53 to 40. The Governor has signed the bill providing for a temporary loan of $000. 000 and for funding the outstanding loan at a lower rate of interest. The bill to require.instruction- in the public schools on the effects of alcohol and narcotics on thclininan system was indefinitely postponed by the Senate. Representatives Toue, of Fulton and Pulaski, and Ilayden of Allen, are the wealthiest men in the Legislature. The first named is credited with being worth a half million, and Mr. Hayden but little less. The House judiciary committee bill recommends that the present provoke law be repealed. The justices of the peace of this city will likely enter a vigorous objection to such action.— [Indianapolis paper. The Temperance Committee has recommended the indefinite postponement of all tie bids in their hands. This includes Staley's proposed constitutional amendment and Best's bill for a local option law. The militia bill was ordered engrossed yesterday after the adoption of two amendments appropriating $10,000 each, the one to purchase uniforms and the Other to equip the companies with arms, etc. The House passed .the Legislative Apportionment bill last Thursday by a vote of 54 to 41. Mr. Taylor, of Daviess, said in explaining his vote: ■“As I vote as I talk, and a reminder to our apostate brethren, I vote ‘aye.' ” The house resolution for submitting an amendment to the people, fixes the terms of .all county officers at four years, and declaring them ineligible to re-election, was concurred in, with an amendment that county surveyors may be re-elected. Greenq county is represented in the Legislature by the lightest and heaviest members in the House. The heaviest member being Gerard Reiter, our joint representative, and the lightest being “the soldier statesman"—A. S. Helms.—Bloomfield Dent. The bill to compel railroad companies to fence their tracks where they extend through improved lands was ordered engrossed in the House Saturday. If the measure hepomes a law it is estimated that the work will involve an outlay of $4,(XX)000. Representative Helms has introduced a bill, making it unlawful to compel any driver or other employe of a street car company to labor more than twelve hours out of twenty-four, and providing a flue of uot less than $5 nor more than $50 for every violation of the same. The House Committee on Prisons recommends that the Legislature should take .some action to provide that convicts who were sentenced to life imprisonment, and whose conduct has been exemplary, should be released after having served fourteen or sixteen years. The Shively medical bill as passed by the Senate, requires all physicians to register in the county clerk’s office before they eau collect anv fee for services. In order to obtain license to practice the applicant must have a diploma front a reputable medical college, or an approval from the censors of a lawfully orginized medical society, or have practice in the State for ten years or more. Is reference to the merits of cows. National Lire Stock Journal says: “It now becomes important to know the quality oT the milk for butter. This test can only be made by churning the cream of each cow separately. The bulk of cream is uot a test. It will be sufficient test to learn the particular quality of the milk of each cow by settiug her milk for two or three day s by itself, and then churning the cream by itself. The amount of milk should be weighed. This test may l>« as well made two or three weeks after calving. A small churn is easily made by taking a small eroek and making a dasher for it. Such cream will usually churn to butter iu teu to fifteen minutes, so that the labor is not great. In this you will get the actual richness of milk. “When thi? test is made, the dairyman will find the middling cjw that yields a moderate quantity of milk the best cow iu the held for butter. This of course is not always the case. When this butter test is matte the dairy man will know both the quantity and quality of milk from each cow in his herd, and he can, without mi-take, select those he wishes to keep and those he wishes to sell. And by such selections, and building' up his herd with the bc3t, he will soon find the profit doubled or even trcoled. Let not the dairyman wait to chauge the blood of his herd, but make tiie best of the blood he has. He will of course, find it profitable to seek a ful - blooded sire of the breed he desires to cross on his selected herd, and then lift'ill be able to perpeuta.e their go d qualities." ' i !

The Proper Weight of Mao. Prof. Huxley gives the following table of what a full grown man .-could weigh. and how this weight should be divided : Weight, 154 pounds. Made up thus: Muscles and thru- appurtenances. 58 lbs: skeleton, 24 pounds; skin 10's pounds; fat, 28 pounds; brain, 3 pounds : thoracic viscera, 31* pounds; abdominal viscera, 11 pounds; blood, which would drain from body, 7 pounds. This than ought to consume per diem: Lean beefsteak, 5.000 grains; milk, 7,000; potatoes, 3.000 grains; butter, 600 graius; and water, 22,000 grains. His heart should beat 75 times a minute, and he should breathe 15 times a minute. In 24 hours he would vitiate 1.750cubic feet of pure air to the exteutot'l percent.; a naan, therefore, of the weight mentioned ought to have 800 cubic feet of well ventilated space. lie would throw off by the skin 18 ounce* of water. 300 grains of solid matter, and 400 grain* of carbonic acid every 24 hours w ould be 6 pounds of water and a little above 2 pounds of other i rtiattor.

THE EDITOR’S LETTER. A “Modest Request” Made for a road Pass for “Self and Wife. Rail. »

IFiltsburg Commercial Gaietto.J In the course of 9 year the general office of a big railroad gets some queer, sonic funny, some solemn, and some “otherwise’-requestsfor passes. General Passenger Agent Ford, of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, showed one yesterday which lie calls •‘the modest aud facetious kind,’’from a western editor, living on one of his lines. Mr. Fold thought it too good to “keep," and it is given below, except the names and locality. 1 have a modest request to make. I want to get a pass for myself and wife from—-to Washington, D. 0., and thence to New York, with stop privileges at Baltimore and Philadelphia, and return. I know that the general rule is to refuse such requests as this. I wish, however, to state niv ease: Firstly—This is to be uiy wedding trip, and country editors, you know, in such cases depend upon their railroad friends standing by them in the [ worthy effort to make their brides be- | lieve they have caught a millionaire 1 when they hook on to a country editor. Poor little innocents! They this k that all they have to do will be to ride free over the country and be the honored guests of the greatof the laud, Little do they dream of the painful truth that they will have to eke outol a scanty subsistence from tickets tc snide minstrel shows and Uncle Tonr’i (.'abin troupes; orders 011 corner store; which will be coldly honored for goods at four times their value; contracts for organs and sewing-machines, by means of which editors are permitted after giving several hundred dollars worth of advertising, to purchase ar instrument afterpaying eight-seventh; of its value in cash. By the courtesy of railroad official! editors usually succeed in concealing these unpiesaiit things from brides and I, therefore, follow the custom and bone you for the pa-ses. , I am postmaster-, and being one of the rascals Who must go. I will have to hum] myself to get back in time to be kicked out, and will not be able to move a pe« until that momentous event occurs I thiuk 1 have made my case; if you think not,let me know and I will add aij amended and supplemental petition, Mark your answer “private.’’ I havt not yet billed the town nor requested any she’s “present’’ at my Wedding. I mignt say “burn this,” but the words are painful.® Mr. Ford says in this case it was too mueh for him, aud-fearing an “amended petition” he yielded and sent the passes; but he desires it to be understood that this is not to be regarded a.; a precedent or au example for others of the fraternity. Compliments to Mrs. McDonald. [Troy Times.} “Wife, come with me. I desire te present you to the most beautiful ; woman in the world.” These are the words that Matthew Arnold is said to have directed to his wife after he had finished his lecture in IndianapI olis. Naturally enough st>e asked, I “who ?” He replied, -The wifeofSeua j tor McDonald.” As she had left the hall, an introduction was out of th« question, but the critic is said to have remarked: “So spiritual a creature j of transceudaut beauty, so fine a speeiI men of lovely womanhood. 1 novel met before.” Whether or not this high praise was deserved the reader may judge from a description of the lady. “Mrs. Joseph E McDonald,” says tliu I Indianapolis correspondent of tin I Sau, “is at that period of woman life when a man may piously adore the elevating memory of a sainted mot he 1 in her benign face. On her soft check there is the delicate luster of the open rose as well as a glow of girlish trength. Surmounting a brow elegantly molded is a vast wealth of hair, silken in its softness—not gray, -but w bite as the snow drift. Faint lines that Johnson might characterize as beauty marks chasten and contribute fo :ui expression that .Raphael would surely have loved to paint. Where Matthew Arnold is cited as authority on a subject, even if sacred, so full of peotrv, a correspondent certainly has license to note, the exquisite blending o» girlhood and grandmotherhood in one glorious presence, though he may acknowledge that to describe with anything like justice lies beyond his possibilities,” Shingles F01: Sale.—We have a few thousand first class shingles that we will Sell at a bargain.
