T. DeWitt Talmage on the first page, undey the heading, “Fist versus Brain.” The great story, “Driven From Sea to Sea,” began in the Democrat Mat21, 1885, (V'ol. XVI, Xo. 2), and will bo continued till the close of its twen-tv-eight chapters. Back numbers of the paper containing the first chapters can be bad at this ofliee.

Man-on is President ; J. A. linrhanan. Vice President; John W. Dodd, Secretary ; George F. McGinnis. Treasurer. One object of the association is to secure the pensions that are so justly due them. The total immigration «>f the United States during the ten months ending with April was 275.596 or 96,157 less than during the same months of the 'preceding year and it is doubtful if tho total for the year to end with June 1885. will cxeced 375,000. However, at #1,000 per capita, the common valuation, the addition to the wealth of the country will be #375,000,000.

Tits new telephone law is alleged by corporation attorneys to be detective JtieFlwae polos, wires, etc* are not nicntjoied in 'the law, which, prescrihwfS^yr month per instrument for telephonic service. Whereupon the South Bead Times aptly says: If because poles, wire and exchange services are not mentioned in the law, the telephone companies can charge extra tor these and thus evade the law, why can't a railway company evade ' lie 3-cnnt-per-milc passenger law by charging extra for use of depots, engines, rails, ties aud spiJSes ? There is some complaint among Democratic papers that the President is making removals too slowly. A Solid Dempeiratic paper says the Commander in Chief is moviug as rapidly asThc rank aud tile want him to go. lie is traveling a road that has not been worked for twentv-flve years. There are ruts and holes, quagmires, blind paths, stumps and other obstructions that prevent rapid marching. lie is also repairing the road as he govs along, that those who come after him may fiud smooth traveling. It may seem a long time to wait for the milk and honey, and civil service hard tack may be dry eating, but remember the children of Israel were forty yearn in the wilderness. The once numerous body ^ of “Friends,” or Quakers, from whom Penn sprang, and to whom Franklin joined himself, dwindles in numerical strength every year. The report made at their May meetings in London shows that the total number of the society .in Great Britain now is eulv 15,301, and this is probably twice as many as there arc in the United States. The period when “the spirit moved” appears to have got sadly into the background. At least there seems to be very little proselytizing among the plain Quakers, and one of them who should walk the streets to-day in their sanctioned costume—the prettiest for pretty women that was ever invented—would attract as much unpleasant attention as a blanket Indian.

A Glorious Change. It is a common remark at Washington, says the Seymour Democrat, that the business of the pension department has never been so well or so satisfactorily managed as since it came under the charge of Commissioner Black. During the month of May, 8,906 new pension certificates were sent out by the bureau, the largest number ever issued in any one mouth by over 1,000. There is noielass of the Community so deserving of government support as the soldiers who were injured for life in the war. and the -widows and families of eel-, diers who were slain. What a pity it, is that the trickery and false swearing of a few imposters and greed of dishonest pension agents, and the electioneering devices of former Republican pension commissioners, have brought a bad name on the pension bureau, and defrauded many deserving veterans out of their rights. It is to the honor and- credit of the uation that it is characterized bjr a liberality in awarding pensions unknown in other nations. It is to be hoped that all imposters will now he cut off and that all deserving ones will he awarded by a Democratic administration what is justly their due. in mjLiai. 1 g The June Apportionment.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. The Vincennes News says the Sunday law works admirably in that city. The acreage of corn planted in Gibson county this season is very mnch larger than for many years.—Priuceton Clarion. A barn belonging to Mrs. Eliza Mosbv, of Ireland, was struck by lightning and burned on last Monday. Robert F. Weems, of the Vincennes Commercial, and Miss Minnie, Cassi-! dy, of Oaktown, were married Tuesday. Joy be with them. William Thomas, a pioneer citizen of Daviess county died at Washington on Friday morning last, from the efiects of a paralytic stroke, lie was in his 69th year, and for 45 Years was a prominent member of ftie 31.

This is sad news to his many friends in his old age.—Somerville item, Princeton Leader.

In Columbia township $1,647.06.of the tax has I jeon ordered paid to the Receiver.—Princeton Clariou. It is reported that there is great excitement in the region pf Bear Springs, Perry township, cagSedljv the discovery of gold in tliaPslHioii and that prospectors are flocking to the scene, and real estate is rapidly going uprbut we conld get no authentic confirmation of the rumor.—[Evansville Journal.

THE STATUE OF LIBERTY.

The pedestal for this statue, the BartholdLStatuc of Liberty, is being built at the entrance to New York City harbor, and when placed in position will loom up 305 feet above tide water, the height of the statue being 151.2 feet, that of the pedestal 91 feet and the foundation 52.10 feet. It is the largest statue in the world. Some idea of its magnitude may be obtained from the fact that forty persons found standing room in the head. A sixfoot man standing on the level of the lips only just reached the eye-brow. While workmen were employed in the crown of her head they seemed to be making a huge sugar-caldron, and they jumped with ease in and out of the tipof the nose. Fifteen people might sit around the flameof the torch, which elevation can be readied by a spiral staircase within the oustretched arm. The New York World, which has collected thousands of dollars through a popular subscription fund to erect the pedestal, has the following eloquent appeal for liberty: “It has been truly said that the his

twi vu iiauuuo ate niiucu lit (lie monuments that they build. The races of men perish, but the monuments that they leave behind endure forever. The antiquarian delving in the grimy past finds iu sculptured marble the traits and the degrees of civilization of people whose features are lost in the Night of Time, lie reads history on the obelisks of Egypt, in the uniform inscriptions on the tablets of Assyria, in the flint tracings of the prehistoric cave dweller, in the stately columns, of Aucient Greece. If an unread traveler from New Zealand should /pay a chance visit to this land of a^yatp'cd civilization tomorrow whatistory would he gather from the monuments that we have built or the bronzes that we have east ? He would sec culture in our church edifices, thought iii our school buildings, liberality- in our parks. But, alas! our monuments commemorate wars; our statues are Heroes. The kiMier with his sword is immortalized here iu enduring bronze even as in the Capital of the Czar of all the Russias. We pattern our statuary after the Monarchy as well as our coats-of-arms. Aside from the great white temple in Washington where our laws are made—the dome of which is decorated with the Goddess Of Liberty— we have no public monument that speaks of the genius of our institutions; that tells the unborn ages that this is a land sacred to Liberty and the equality of man. Hon; meet it is, then, that in this era of prosperity we should set up at the gateway of our great Republic the colossal Statue of Liberty which shall proclaim for all time "the fact that here dwells the Freeman. Where Liberty's torch burns no despot can rule, no thrall can breathe. And how meet it is that her granite resting place should he builded with the offerings of the sons and daughters of honest toil—the patriotic people who love Liberty for tho blessings she lias conferred' Tints comes the statue to us. It is the tribute of a nation which, though oft betrayed, lias struggled ever for free government; a nation that, blindly battling against ages of superstition, dark wrong and oppression, has thrice planted the banners of Liberty upon the ruins of Despotism. This girt is from the deceudants ot the starved mothers of France who saw their babes die upon their withered bosoms that Kings might revel in luxury, that licentious nobles might flourish to debauch the land ; from the sons of that peasantry which after five hundred years of brutalizing oppression, rose and with mighty arms tore stone from stoue the blackest monument ever erected by Tyranny upon the face of this fair earth. It was the spirit engendered at Bunker Hill and uursed at Valley Forge that levelled the Bastilc and gave kingcraft that never forgotten lesson : There is no true sovereigni tv but that of Honest Manhood. It was the liberty-loving race that sent us Lafayette that now sends us tins masterpiece of Art wherewith to crown the gate of our complete RepnDlic.

aim n uu is mis spirit et Liucrlr that we should cuthrone her symbol upon our National Olympus? Her feeble voice was crying to the Aryan tribes when the historian began his lessons in hieroglyphics: it was her torch that was the guiding pillar of tire by which the children of Israel fled from Egyptian bondage; she helped to drive the Tarquin from Home: she was at Hunifymede with the men who wrested Magna Charta from John; she guided the arrow that made the Switzer free; she strikes the shackles from the bondsman's limbs; she cheers the victim of tyranry in his dungeon ; she sits beside the accused in the dock, for her htuidmaiden is Justice and her kinsman is Law. Her torch has ever sighted the way of Progress; her voice is shouting ever, ‘•Come up!’'to the sinking people ol the earth. Build, build the altar high, that the virtueaof Liberty may be proclaimed to all the world! Set her far above the blue waters of our hay, that the pale emigre fleeing troni despotism, seeing her fa"e, may kiss his babes and hope again. It is the religion of Intellect—this worship of the genius ! that confers the priceless blessings j that we enjoy. If life is hard and j aimless here, think of it in the joyless j lands of peuurv where men are pits- | til res and eventhc laughter of child- ! hood is hushed in the din of the slrug-1 gle for bare existence. Build the1 Pedestal strong and high, that Kings and Emperors may sec the beacon gleaming above the nation whose bulwarks are a Free Press and Free Schools. Build it of the solidest of granite, to the end that we may carve upon its everlasting slides the name of every potent human being who has ever lifted sword or wielded pen in the sacred canse of Liberty!

A FULL HE VIEW OF THE CHOPS. » Hallcual Source. The June crop report of the Agricultural Department at Washington, D. C., estimates the total wheat crop of the country at 30(0,000,000 bushels of which 207,000,000 is winter and 153,000,000 spring. The condition of winter wheat is lower than ever before in June, being now 62, against 70 in May. The condition of spring wheat is 97. On winter wheat this report gives the average of Indiana at 63, Illinois, 40; Ohio, 56; Miehigau, 94; Missouri, 52; Kansas, 56; California, 58; Pennsylvania, 67; New York, 91. The report on spring wheat is ' more favorable than this. The present report therefore indicates a wheat cropof360,000,000 bushels, 23.000.000 bushels smaller than that of 1881. RYE, BARLEY ASD OATS. The general condition of rye is 83. The area of barley is nearly the same as in 1884, and the average condition is 89. The acreage of oats has increased 4 tier cent, and the average of condition is 94. Corn will be reported in July, but voluntary returns indicate an increase of area. Fr«u the State. The Indiana Farmer of last week published its regular monthly statement regarding the outlook for staple crops. The Farmer says: “There is uo longer a doubt that the wheat crop will fall far below au avereage one;” and the paper further on says “that within the past six years the farmers of the West have realized more money out of a wheat crop of many millions of bushels below an average one than out of a full crop, Wc have before noted this specifically for Indiana, gi\ ing the di ta in detail.” “Thus fiir everything points to a large corn crop, which is much more needed by the country than that of wheat. * * * We can see no reasons for discouragement to the productive or business industry. If there are any, they have grown out of wild speculations, extravagant living, and gambling in grain, stock, etc. WHEAT SUMMARY. Indiana—The May report showed the condition of 64 per cent, of the average. It will be noticed that the June reports put it at 63 per eent, IUiubis—May report, condition 59; the June report gives it at 49 per cent. Ohio—The May condition was 76, whereas it is now reported 79 per eent. In the southwestern sections of all three of the states a large area of wheat fields were planted tft corn in May, or sown to oats. COBS—AREA. As has already been stated, the corn has been planted in good condition and in good season. Planting was still going on June J, the date of oar reports. The area is large, and will probably be the largest ever planted in the central West. Generally the stand is good and plants vigorous. Indiana, 104; Illinois, U0; Ohio, 109 per cent, of an average acreage. Everything now indicates a large crop,

uuijr. Last year in this county there were 35,545 acres of wheat harvested which yielded a total of 400,923 bushels, or an average of over 1IJ£ bushels per acre. The ysar before (1883) the total acreage was 36,567 and the total yield only 252,462 bushels—an average yield per acre of less than 7 bushels. In 1882 the acreage in the county was 31,440, which yielded 537,341 bushels, an average of over 10‘.) bushels to the acre. The total yield of wheat in the county in 1881 was 249,824, bushels; in it 1880 was 348.295, and in 187.1 it was 376,893 bushels. What theaereage was for the three years we are unable to give. The average yield during the six years (1879 to 1884) is 362,456Lj bushels. The general opinion is that wheat in this county will wake half of an average crop this year. The outlook for corn is flattering, giving evidence of at least an average crop. A large acreage has been sown. The report of last year is as follows: Acreage Total No, Townships. Acres.

METAL POISON My stifferirgs became so intense that it was m possible for me to rest. The doctors advised me to go to the city hospital for treatment, rhis I could not bear. A friend, who has proved a friend indeed urged me to try Swift’s Specific, believing it would cure me.. Others Itseouraged n»e, but I secured a few bottles »nd have now taken two dosen bottles. The lirst effect of the medicine was to bring the poison to the surface, and I broke out aliover in running sores. They soon disappeared, aud my skin cleared off. My knees, which had Iretome twiee their natural sixe, have resumed heir usual sixe, and are supple as. of yore. My irms and handsareall right again, and can use litem without pain. The entire disease lias left all. parts of the body save two nicer* >n my wrists, which are healing rapidly. I im weak from long confinement, but I have the use of ail my limbs. This medicine is bringing me nut of the greatest trial of my life, and I cannot And words sufficient to express my appreciation of its virtues, and the tratltude I feel thflt I ever heard of it.

The result was that all were troubled artth chilis and fever. I carried with me'several bottles of Swift's Specific, and as long as [ took it I had perfect health. As soon as I reased taking it. I, like the rest, was afflicted crith chills. When I resumed its use, I was all right again. We have used it in our family as in antidote for malaria poison for twoor three rears, and have never known it to fail in a dngle instance. o ^ W. C. Furlow. Sumter Co., Ga., Sept. 11.1SS-4.
