Elder Hurst, of Georgia, makes the prediction that all earthly things will come to an end in the year 1932.

Let no one forget the advice of the New Orleans Picaynue: “The world may owe a man a living, but it is always best for him to go out and collect it by a little hal'd work.” It is estimated that the steals of the public lands by railroads and rings amounts to more than the combined areas of thirteen States—Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, lthodc Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio and Indiana. The interests of the laboring men of this country must be protected and their only hope is the maintenance ol thoprotective tariff.—[Press. LOOK OK THIS A KI> T11EX OK THAT. CAPITALIST'S THEORY "Protection is necessary because our wages are higher." REPUBLICAN THK’RY “Protection is necessary in order to make high wages.” You see how nicely one contradicts the other. The candidates entered for the next Congressional race, according to our exchanges, are: G. V. Meuzies and E. M. Spencer, of Posey ; Win. F. Townsend, of Pike; James E. McCullough, of Gibson; Bcuoni S. Fuller, of Warrick ; Henry Kramer, of Speu^gr, Win. Hulun and J. J. Kleiner, of .Vanderburgh.

Never before was the dream of j loeal self-government so near aceom- I Irishmen t for Ireland as it is to-day. It would seem that Providence is about to auswer the prayers of Irishmen, after centuries of wrong, and re-store-to that ancient land of heroes, saiuts and sages the privilege of conducting its own a Hairs for its own benefit. AVf. are pleased to uote that our exchanges fully reeoguize in Hou. AV. F, Townsend the proper material for our next Congressmen. Mr. Townsend is a man who would soon place our district above the level of mediocrity in representation, as it has been for years past, and the First district j would take its place among the delegation as it did in tliedaysofNiblaek. Is effect, Harper’s Weekly says that ' when the Republican party finally loses the patriotism, intelligence, j corn age and inflexible constancy to i principle— . “No spring will e’er visit Its mouldering urn, On shine ou the night ofits grave.” True. Its leaders are fast causing / the party to lose all these virtues. As ] for inflexible constancy t© principle, why the grand moguls discard that entirely. Expediency and not principle is their policy. Tuk Democrat has at last decided that it is best to say something for the benefit of the town.—[Press. There is evidently some animus behind this paragraph, as uttered by our contemporary. The Press kuows as well as auv of our readers that the Democrat has always said “something for the bcuefit of the town," not only wheu the town was villified, but in and out of season. The Democrat has done this because it is right, aud not that it whs a routine duty, as some people look upon it. Everything that finds its way into the farmer’s house or barn is protected to twice its value says the New York Star.1 'Everything that goes out • of his house or barn is unprotected. The American wheat farmer, since he undersells all other countries, can not be protected. Protection enables every one to make mouey out of the farmer; but tire farmer is forced to make money out of nature. And though nature often swindles the farmer, no farmer has ever yet been found shrewd enough to swindle nature. _ Great Scott! Just see how the Rockville Tribune goes for John . Sherman iu the following: “As the rebels only numbered about 400,000 at the close of the war, and as Joint Sherman says they are now strong enough ferrule the whole country, he must conclude that error has more 1 vitality than truth, defeat more en- 1 couragement than victory, and |>ov- 1 erty more strength than wealth; logi- ' callv, therefore, he ought to sit down 1 in the ashes, scrape himself with a 1 potsherd, curse God and die. Wo cer- ‘ tainly should feel that way, if we be- ] Keren such stuff as that.”

Dec. 22 and 29. Thos#'appointed O.i essays and declamation will select their own subjects. Those on debating will select the affirniative and negative by agreement, and then report to the Superintendent immediately. The subject of debate is: Resolved, That our education, aside from tbe advantage ol invention. i6 not as good as that previous to the time ofC Julius Caesar Under experiments may be included such as the teacher can oommand. I would recommend that a few be made. J. L. Moi/nt, County Sup’t. The Straight Line Extension. Our exchanges are In error in stating that in a few days through trains will be run between Evansville aud Terre Haute over the Straight Line, E., W. & B., and the Terre Haute and South-eastern from Worthington. From the Worthington Times we learn that the track-layers commenced laying iron there two weeks ago, and the I. & V. track,from there to the crossing is being used by the E., W. & B. There is a break of about eight miles between Worthington aud Newberry, on which the grading aud track laying will have to be done before through trains will be run between Evansville and Terre Haute. Then the bridge at Newberry will have to be completed. After alii this is done the through trains cau be ruu, but it will take steady work from now until the middle or last of December to finish the work, aud we understand that if Mr. Mackey gets through trains on the road by the first of January next, he will be satisfied. The work is bciug poshed as t apidly'as possible. Trains ruu regularly bet ween Washington and Newberry. This.new line between Evansville and Terre Haute will be seven and one-half miles longer than E. & T. II. It is stated that Mackey is preparing to turn the E. & T. H. road over to liis enemies and work the new line for all there is iu it. Chicago Times: The Prohibition vote in Ohio increased iu the strong Democratic districts and fell off in the strong Republican ones. The party of moral ideas doesn’t carry its temperance principles so fS.r as the ballot box, aud the vote shows that, while the Republ ican party contains a vast deal of hypocrisy on the temperance question, tlae strongest genuine temperance sentiment is among the Democracy.

MEN OF THE MOMENT.

'***s^ss7& GEOBGE Lt'DWICK VEST. “Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, some have greatneaa thrust upon We take pleasure in prese nting the portrait of our distinguished Deputy Auditor. He was born gieat. His birth was an epoch. At a time when the grandfathers of the republic were struggling for independence the subject of this sketch first saw the light of day. He was present when the British troops surrendered to Washington, being theu two yean' old. He was the heioof all the hotly-contested battles siucc that glorious time to the present. He followed the fortunes of General William Heury Harrison, and WB6 his spokesman at the great Tecumsch conference held at vinceunes. While taking part in all these struggles, he was omnipresent in political battles, and has shaken hands with every President from Washington to Cleveland. George Longfellow West is a genial, charitable, honest, energetic, upright and capable citizen. For years this talented aud historic gentleman has resided in Pike county, aud his name is a household word. He has achieved greatness, and is couteut to pass the remainder of his days among the classic hills of Patoka township. Next week we will give a. sketch of William Horatio McCue, the Roman gladiator, who is uow holding the office of Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Couit A Paper of Te Olden Times. Goodlct Morgan has a copy of the “Maryland aud Baltimore Journal aud Advertiser,” bearing date of Friday, August 20, 1773, which he says is a true copy. The paper is a four page sheet, three wide columns to the page has an aged appearance, typographi eally and otherwise. In his salutatory the editor asks for the “immediate assistance of every subscribci in advancing the money, without which the life of his paper will be ot short duration.” The paper contain* letters from Eugland, home news miscellany, price current and advertisements. Among the latter tin editor asks for a man to ride as a post carrier between Baltimore and Philadelphia. George Washington advertises for -sale twenty thousand acres of patented land situated on thebauks of the Ohio and Great Kanhawa river Referring to the value of the lands Mr. Washington says in his advertisement,) “and it may not be amiss further to observe, that if the scheme for establishiuga new government oii the Ohio should ever be effected, these must be among the most valuable lauds in it, not only on account of the gooduess of the soil anel other advantages, but from their contiguity tc the se-at of government, which niore than probable will be fixed at the mouth of the great Kanhawa.” In another place in the paper a roan offers a reward of ten pounds for the capture of an Irish servant., to whief a description of the escaped is attached. Mr. Morgan has the papei carefully preserved.

When he paid in advance he felt that he was getting something every week for his money, bnt to square up at the end of the year was like paying fer wOfir-out clothes—there was none of the pleasures of anticipation in the transaction.” !

Up to twen-ty-eight years ago I was regarded as the strongest man In the neighborhood—the most robust In health. In November Mat I had a long and serious spell of typhoid fever. II left me emaciated and a cripple in my right leg. At times that limb was swollen an enormous slse, being twlee as large as Its nat- ‘ inf ural condition, and inflamed and angry in appearance. From my knee down small sores came, and at the ankle a large ulcer came, which discharged poisonous matter. M> whole system became Infected. The doctors would patuh me up fer awhile, but the ulcer would never heal. The mercury and potash with which they dosed me brought on rheumatism and dyspepsia. I was an object ol to all my friends. Some thought that Pity the only hope to save my life was amputation. 1 continued to grow worse, ana for three years I have not worn a shoe. Hope bad almost left me.
