Tnc renuiou of the Fourth Indiana Cavalry will beheld at the Courthouse, Indianapolis, ou the 14th of August. Counterfeit one cent pieces are in circulation. That is a small business, and is a sure indication that “times is iite.” Desperadoes in the mountain counties of Kentucky are raising slieol, the fueds existing leading to many murders. Will the coming man work? is the latest conundrum. Our unhesitating reply is that he will not work if can get out of it. * John' McCullough, the great trag'edian, has been sent to Hlooraingdule Insane Asylum, Cause, too much strong drink. The average wages paid to employes of establishments in this State, as reported by labor statistics, is $338.18 per year to each person. The Democratic victory of 1884 was fairly and honorably won, and the members of that party are entitled to the fruits of the victory. Unseat Conk ling did not speak lit the last campaign‘because lie was not invited to do so. While the deeps were dumb, the shallows murmured Republicanism in that campaign. The American hog continues to be popular, and the pork packer usually wears a smile. From March 1 to the present date 2,080,000 hogs have been Ibieted, as against 1,815,000 for the corresponding period hist year. “Morbid nervousness’' is what they call it now when one man shoots another* in cold blood. Another pjhraze for “emotion: I insanity;” and “morbid, nervousness” keeps the culprit out ofihe asylum after acquittal by the jury. 1 - !L* The bloody shirt brigade should remember the remark of the laiucuted Qarlield that “the man who attempts to get up a political excitement in this country on tlie old sectional issues WiR find, himself without a party and witlmut support.” Tue frail y a tell keeps near the harbor and is seldom wrecked, while the proud merchant-man braves the dangers of distant seas and is often lost, philosophizes a writer. Yes, but the “brave ones" were not made by Juhu Roach, the navy wrecker. . The new postal law now makes the taking of a newspaper and’the refusal to pay for the same, theft; and any persons guilty of such an action is liable to criminal proceeding, the same as if lie bad stolen goads to the amount of the subscription.

j! Tuk Attorney General has been puzzling his brain endeavoring to define the term, “a reputable medical college,” which occurs in the new mimical law, whereupon the wicked Cincinnati Post says “it always considered a college reputable that gave $25 for a stiff.” Rich ahu T. Mehhic'k,w ho came into extended public uoticewliije acting as counsel in the star route and Guiteau trials, died recently in Washington. Sergeant Mason, who attempted to shoot Guiteau, is in jail in a western town ou the charge of haviug robbed a fellow soldier. Is Guiteau's prophecy being fulfilled ? One advantage of the new postal law, that went into effect yesterday, is that people will not have to be so particular, in writing letters, to make them weigh a half ounce or less. They may weigh as much as an ounce without increasing the postage. This will be a great convenience to the public without materially decreasing the revenue from letter postage. Every correspondent has been annored by letters weighing a little over a half ounce and sometimes being delayed by marking and collecting extra posatge. Business men especially will be saved much Inconvenience,

The name, American citizen, gives us a synthesis of thought, combining all that is patriotic, glorious and free. The charm pervades all institutions, and the way of naturalization for the foreigner is not complicated. If he $o desires, he can easily, and in due time, I become an American citizen, enjoying all of the privileges aud protection of this Republic. But then the point is, foreigneis can not be citizens of two countries at the same time; they can not hold allegiance to a mother country, and while temporarily residing on American soil claim protection under her flag. It is the spirit of the constitution to protect her citizens, and not those who may claim it because of residence in this country. Let the foreigner, to enjoy the freedom and protection of this country, first become a citizen of it. That removes the bone of much contention. 1!--SSL"-1ass Capt. E. T. Johnson, who killed Major Edwin Henry for seducing his wife, was acquitted bv the jury at Greenville, Teun., last Friday night after being out thirty-six hours. An Indiana jury can agree in such cases a% that in a few minutes, releasing the husband, as he should be. Senator Voorhecs was the leading counsel i for the defense, anil his argument is pronounced the greatest;effort of his life. Capt. Jonson was arraigned for killing Maj.Henry, iii Greene county, Tennessee, on September, 23, 1884. Henry seduced Johnson’s wife more than a year before, and Mrs. Johnson committed suicide in this State. B.iktholdi’s statue of libetry enlightening the world recently received at New York, is from plinth to topof torch, 15,141 feet high. Its head will easily accommodate 40 persons, while the torch, which will be reached by a spiral staircase, will hold 122 persous. It cost $200,000 aud weighs 400,000 pounds.

The Illinois Legislature adjourned on Friday last, after a performance of 171 days. Speaker Ilaines, the clown,1 is now open for engagement, and the orang-outangs who stayed away from the polls at a special election, which sent Logan to the Senate, should be exiled. The first accounts of the earthquake in Cashmere did not attract much attention, but the full details of the affair, showing that over 3,000 people were killed and 70,000house destroyed, show it to have been one of the most terrible calamities in modern times. CHURCH CHIMES, Telling of Its Affairs and Its People. The M. E. Church ladies have a Sewing Circle, The debris is being removed from the lot on which the now C. P. Church is to erected. . Hey. A. W. Freeman preaches at this place next Sunday, and the following Sabbath at Oakland City. An interesting sermon recently delivered by the ltcv. Charles il. Spurgeon will be.found on the fourth page of this paper. ^ Roy. P. McFarland, of St. James’ Episcopal Church, Vincennes, preached at the Court House, Tuesday night. He is an impressive speaker. The Rock port district conference of the M- E. Church will be held at this place, July 28th, 29th“ and 30tli. It will be a meeting full of interest, aud an excellent programme has been arranged, which will be published next week. Bill Foster, well-known to all our citizens as Bill Cox, “one of the boys,” preached to a goodly number of people at the Court House yard last Sunday. lie returned a few days ago from the south, and all old acquaintances were surprised to see the change wrought in him. His remarks were earnest and hcrhnd atteutive listeners. He preaches there again next Sunday. The lawn festival conducted by the ladies of the it. E. Church at the Court House Park last Thursday evening was a decided success. The weather was in a perfect state to induce patronage—Warm. The yard was decorated with various colored Chinese lanterns, and the large attendance enjoyed the time and the edibles. The net receipts were $71.00. The minister’s vacation, in the months of July and August is the occasion l’orthe leading pulpit orators of the country to seek their tuiuual rest abroad. Rev. Dr. Tal mage and other divines will there spend the vacation. In consequence we have made arrangements to give Mr. Tal mage’s sermons in the fall to our readers immediately succeeding their delivery in the Brooklyn Tabernacle, after his return. This will be good news to our many readers who are now enjoying the reading of the eloquent sermons.

IMIMJOVEMKNTS. Mullen llill is covered with newlybuilt and freshly-painted cottages. New walks and other improvements are to bo inatje about tho Courthouse. Work on tho couuty poor asylum will be completed about the first of August. The cells for the jail have arrived, aud' the work of repairing will soon begin. The sound of the carpenter’s hammer from every quarter denotes “the hum of Industry. Machinists arrived Tuesday and are now at work on the improvements in Montgomery mills. James Shawhau. is adding to the attractiveness of his place by the building of a stoue walk through the yard. The amphitheatre at the fair grounds is rapidly assuming shape as the work progresses. It will till a long-felt want. The finishing touches are being put on the Hew brick ott Main between Seventh aud Eighth streets. Albert Haas is to occupy one room for his bakery and the two office rooms by J. W. Wilson, Esq., aud Drs. Byers & Link. Vincennes avenue is looming up. Mr. Horrall’s and Miss Glezen’s cottages opened the building boom over there, and now it is to be augmented by cottages on the lots of Dode Smith and Joe Kinmnn, opposite that of Miss dozen. Solid squares of brick houses on Main street will one of these days greet tho eye. Win. Hisgen and Al. W. Carpenter will soon commence the erection of buildings on their lots at and near the corner of Eighth aud Main streets.

The stone work of the tower is being placed in position. Walter S. Vide is fish warden of the First district of Indiana aud he intends to prosecute all persons who violate the law, says the Evansville Journal. The salary of the Mt.

The premiums offered at the coming fair for the largest number of bushels of corn and of wheat raised on one acre should interest our "farmers. Fifty’dollars ou each award.

Petersburg and Pike county are at peace with all the world, and while times arp not so good as is wished for, we can thank Dame Fortune that there are good things in the future for us. Fort Branch,* Gibson county, had a romance at a recent lawn party. While the crowd was athering, a couple presented themselves to a Squire and the nuptial knot was tied then and there. A double wedding was arranged to occur in Boonville last evening, the contracting parties being Dr. Beujanyin F, Hatfield to Miss Emma Link and Mr. James Hemenway to Miss Lida'AIexander, all of that'place. The quiet village of Newtouville, twelve miles from liockport, was visited bv a dynamite fiend on the night of June 19th, and Sutton & Powell's store was greatly damaged, causing a loss of $2,000. The motive for the deed is a mystery. A Imliauapolis dispatch says that ex-Adjutant General Russ has been sued for (as alleged) failine to furnish lists of old soldiers entitled to bounties in the counties of Sullivan, Knox, Vanderburg, llarrison, Dubois, Washington, Daviess and Pike. At a shooting match held at Peabody Park, Vincennes, on the 24tli ult., Perry Tiudolph broke twenty-five single birds out of a possible thirty, and nineteen out of ten doubles, or a possible twenty. This shooting heats anything ever done by either Carver or Bogardus. Miss Blank Blank, of Blank township, was placed in jail, Saturday. She was charged with aiding in the theft of a sheep. A young man named James Williams was also taken in charge by the constable, but while on the way to this place he escaped. The girt was discharged, Monday. From a Hazleton item in the Princeton Clarion we learn that “C. C. Baum, harness maker, is making arrangements to go to Petersburg. Petersburg seems to be a sort of second heaven for harness makers of this place, as we already have two there in business,and thiswill be third one.” J. C. Smith, the versatile individual who swindled Evansville merchants by buying large bills of goods and drawing checks in excess of the amount purchased and receiving the balance in money and never calling for the goods, lias come to griet in New York. He will no doubt take a trip toj’Siug Sing (N. Y.j prison. Cox, the wounded Deputy Sheriff of Dubois county, who sutlers from the terrible wounds inflicted by the Reeves, by whon\ John Gardiner lost his life, may recover. If Cox does survive the injuries he will no doubt be a helpless invalid for life, as lie is totally paralyzed from the arms down to the lower extremities. The body exhumed at Shoals and reported to be that of Reeves, the Dubois county desperado, was not identified as his. We are informed that Reeves has one toe off, and this body was soon discovered not to be his, but that of some tramp. The report of the finding of Reeves body was spread to delude the officers in pursuit of the desperadoes. A contract has been made by the Pike county commissioners with Oakland parties for the repair of the Pike county jail. An addition is to be made t» the jail and the old Wilding remodeled at an expense ©■ about 000. This is important information to Vincennes “thugs” who are in the habit of “doing” Petersburg every time she holds a county fair.—Vincennes Commercial.

After the destruction of Cunningham’s starch works at Vincennes, the proprietor sued the E. & T. II. Jt. It. for $200,000, alleging that sparks from .the engine set the works on tire. In the Knox Circuit Court, the road won (lie suit, which was appealed to ihe Supreme Court, where it remained four years, and its reversal was announced last week. As it augurs for their rebuilding, Vincennes is rejoicing. Princeton boasts of a four legged chicken, which has “two surplus legs perfectly formed, but not so large as the others. They protrude from an unnatural extension of the body behind. This extension is somewhat similar to that worn by fashionable ladies, which is sometimes composed of old newspapers. The extra legs of this chicken are not used for purpose of locomotion, but are carefully folded behind its annex, making altogether rather a comical appearance. It is quite lively and healthy, awl seems to suffer no inconvenience from its deformity/’ Hut. now comes Dr. Wilson, of this place, who says that while he resided in Gibson county, lie owned a five-legged chicken, which can be vouched for by Bro. Spillman, of the Oakland City Enterprise, and others, and that the curiosity was killed when three weeks old by a eat. The fifth leg of this chicken projected from the inferior part of (he body,mud at the top of its natural legs were growing two otlid’s which extended backward and were smaller. Next t Bring on another chicken!

That reverend day comes on apace, With grandeur painted on its face; Like fairies from their gilded throne, Return to quicken good 'seed sown, And breathe uixm our eager ear, The noble deeds of by-gone years! Youug hearts with rapture will o’erflow, In mazy dance, with eyes aglow. While sires and matrons will return. In retrospective view to learn. The grand old story o’er anew, Beneath the old Red White and Blue. To me, this revelry is naught; It briugs a sigh with ev’ry thought! My heart is sore, I can not share, The ostentation passing there! ‘•B.:t hold!” says one—a modern sage— Ourhist’ry fills Time's brightest page; (Jan one recount the noble deeds, From which our Nation’s glory leads, And say that, on that festive day, lie loathes the homage brave hearts pay. To each great Hero’s sacred name, Engraved upon immortal fame?” My countrymen, hear my reply; You ask mo wherefore do I sigh, And gmile not at the boist’rous glen, ’Tie this, how thankless we poor mortals be! ’Tia now above a hundred years, Since brave hearts watch’d and prayed iu tears, To Him, whose justice made us free; O say! my countrymen do we? O, come with me to yonder height, Where that proud Bird rests in his flight And plant that bannero’er the shrine, W here cherished sons in peace recline, Who bought Columbia with the blood, Thai eight years flow’d a crimson flood— There, raise our glad hearts to His throne, Who gate them Ileav’n and us a home!

All the railroads give a reduced rate on 4th of July tickets. The E. W. & B. depot for Washington is beingconstructed in Evansville. Carpenters are at work on the railroad bridge at Newberry for the I. & E. extension. Washington is again jubilant over the prospect of getting the O. & M. shops, and the citizens of Vincennes are howling. The earnings of the Ohioaud Mississippi road for the second week in May show a decrease of about $18,000, as compared with the corresponding week of last year. E. L. Richardson, of Oakland City, has resigned the position of mail clerk on the I. & E. (which he held one mouth) on account of ill health. E. H. Keith resumes his old run. Straight-Line employes were arrested and jailed at Washington Jgist week for trespassing on lauds. They were released on bond and the work goes on. It’s a cold day when a railroad gets left. C. A. Slayback, civil engineer, says the says he Straight Line railroad will be completed to Worthington, where it will intersect with the I. & V. railroad, by the 1st of January next.— Princeton Leader. We understand that Mr. Mackey is determined to occupy the old canal towpath with his new railroad, and he is credited with saying that he wautsthe work to go on peaceably, but forcibly if necessary.—Washington Gazette.

An official of the Vincennes & Ohio River Road speaks encouragingly of the road’s prospects. During the past two or three mouths the Vincenues and Ohio River people have had considerable trouble.—Indianapolis Sentinel, 23d. The day we celebrate.—The Ohio & Mississippi Railway will make special low excursion rates between all stations on the line for distances of one hundred miles, on July 2d and 4th. Good returning to include July 6th. Come out and enjoy yourself. The construction of the Vincennes and Ohio River Railway is a possibility. How Petersburg would flourish with two railroads, for it gives increased shipping faeiltics, and with them comes the many benefits. Manufacturers desire markets easy of access lor their goods, and where they find these ami the raw materials so plentiful here, they can easily be encouraged to locate. The outlook now is that the Vincennes; Petersburg & Ohio River R. R. will be built. In both the cases of the railway company against the Board-of Commissioners the Circuit Court has decided against the defendants, and now the last hope of the Board lies in the Supreme Court, to which the cases are to be appealed. The attorneys for the Commissioners—Messrs. Cullop, Shaw aiid Kessinger—are confident of a victory in the higher court; but the other side is equally confident, so that it is not safe for a layman to veuture an opinion where so many learned doctors of law disagree.—Vinceuucs News. Excursion Rates for Fourth of July. The Jeffersonville, Madison and Indianapolis railroad, will sell cheap excursion tickets to a id from all stations, on July 2d, 3d, and 4th, good to return until July 6th, inclusive.

WHITE RIVEK BOTTOM!), An Interesting Letter About the Uruunry of Pike County. Union, Ind.. June 24,1885. Editor Democrat—By invitation we took a seat in the buggy of our genial friend, W. A- Otipimut, for a trip to the White river bottoms. Having provided ourselves w ith some choice Uavauas, we were soon-on our way enjoying as we went the pleasant chat of our friend Alex., who is always full of honor, with fun or wisdom as the mood strikes him. in due time we came to the boundaries of Alex’s large farm on White river, aud received our first impression in the shape of a splendid field of wheat. The next was a field of corn which was'receiving the attention of a score of plows, hoes, eic.,looking something like a Southern plantation of ye olden times. We theneutered a gate and proceeded through field alter field of the finest corn the writer ever saw. Then on and on through meadows and wheat fields as fine as heart could wish, J ust theu the great bell pealed out the dinner hour; the hands began to flock in and presently all were assembled aud we sat (town to dinner, which hud been prepared by the amiable hostess, Aliss Lizzie Cook. The dinner was good aud was enjoy ed by ail. After an hour spent chatting with the hands, who seemed lobe in the test of humor, and spirits, the tell again rang out and announced that iu<- nour lor rest had expired. The horses and mules, were again brought out and started with their drivers for the fields. Alex’s buggy was again brought out, aud, after bidding good-bve to the hostess, we again started above the creek through the beautiful farm of Capt. Merrick. Here again we saw some splendid corn and wheat; some of the wheat just put in the shock and will yield from 20 to 2o bushels per acre. 1 forgot to mention that among the uianv hands on Alex’s farm we saw the familiar farm of Thomas Brice aud enjoved the laugh of one of the old river landmarks in the person of Win. JleReary. Both of them seemed happy and enjoyed the cigar presented to them to the fullest extent. . 1 must not forget to mention that barrel of syrup sitting on the porch and tearing the imprint of Geo. Chambers & Son, Union, 1ml. J only mention thisto|show that Alex, believes iu patronizing borne institutions, which he always does when possible, thereby making himself of great beuefit to the community in which he resides. Xow. Air. Editor, in conclusion I will say that alter view ing the vast crop of grain above and below Conger’s creek, our opinion is that, think as they may, White river bottoms are the granary of Bike county; and if the time should ever come when a gi-ouud famine is seen in our land White river bottoms will be our Egypt, and Jacob and his sons may go down and return with a supply of com.

theaLHIGHTY DOLLAR How the TJ: ho Unsuspecting are Often Gulled. CAPITAL VERSUS MERIT. It is possible that money dipped into a bounteous supply of printer’s ink-, is to be used to teach false ideas. Why is it that sueh persistent anathemas should all at once be hurled against the use of “Potash and Potash Mixtures?” Those who insist that Potash is a poison do so because that is the way they have of fighting B. B.B., as the latter contains potash properly combined. Opium, morphine, strychnine, aconite, whisky, ete., are all deadly poisons, and are daily destroying the lives of people, and why do not these men cry out against them ? It is because there is no money in sight to do so. Potash is not regarded as a poison, and very seldom banns any one; but those who abuse it are using a vegetable poison ten times as violent. Iodide of Potash, in prop! er combination, is regarded by the ruedicaprofession as the quickest, grandest, and most powerful blood remedy ever known to man. Those who believe in revealed combinations and ludiun foolishness are surely in a condition to become rather “cranky” in their ideas at any time. We assert understandingly that I’osash, as used in the manufacture of B. B. B., is not a poison, and the public need not place any confidence in assertions to the contrary. Why is it that in one thousand letters which we receive we i never hear a word against its use? The truth is B. B. B. is working such wonders in the cure of ail blood poison, scrofula, rbeu- : mutism, catarih. etc., that others are trembling in sheir boots, and cry aloud, “poison” • “frauds,” because tin y fear its triumphant : march. I«t any man or woman ask any , respectable doctor or druggist if we are uot fright. Ik) not lie deceived, bat go right along and call for B. B. B. and be cured. It is making five times more cures in Atlanta than all other blood remedies combined. We don’t say tlmt others are poisons or frauds; we are not that eosily alarmed, but we say ours is the best, and we have the procf. Send for our 32-page boook, eree, ane be convinced.
