In M&cicf> they often cut a dime in two to make change. The more lipnesty a man has the less he effects the air of a saint. It is said that ere the roses bloom President Cleveland and Miss Folsom will marry, The coming season will Be a busy and prosperous one, croakers to the contrary notwithstanding. In Illinois the Republicans have only half of the hold-over State Senators and this will add interest to the election this fall.

All accounts seem to agree that „exPresident Arthur is in a very critical condition, and his death is only a question of time. The Indiana State Central 'Committee, and prominent Democrats generally, expect a victory again next .November. Hurrah t The red flag of the anarchists, the emblem of blood and destruction, has r’ no place in free America. The stars and stripes is tl>e flag for every true American and liberty-loving citizen. fct2fK\v York has one-tenth the population, one-sixth of the property, ohcclevonth of the electoral vote, of the country, and has furnished many candidates for the Presidency and a few Presidents. It is truthfully said that there can be no intelligent, honest and patriotic citizen in this country, be he employer or employe, whose interest will not be served by the speedy and decisive restoration of the supremacy of the law. The Vincennes Daily Sun is greatly improved since it changed to an evening paper. That was the field for it, and it seems to be Ailing it in a way acceptable to its many readers and its proprietor, R. E. Purcell. Long may the Sun shine! T, T. Fortune, the Well-known col* ^>rcd writer, has written a pamphlet “The Negro in Politics,” in which he shows that the interests of his race require that they no longer follow blindly the Republican party, but exercise their own judgement in political matters. The recent riots at Chicago caused the Philadelphia Record to make this remark : ‘‘When employers engaged in the protected industries, like coalmining, iron-making, cloth-weaving, etectra, drag the markets in Europe for cheap bubo re rs, they need not be . surprised Jf red flags, boycotts and socialism arc bid away in the luggage their hirelings bring along with them.’ Demockaxs I feel like it is of the highest importance (his year’to nominate a strong ticket. They look forward to tl|e day of election. They w ant no drawbacks. They want no loads to carry. They want success, and to get it they must have an acceptable, strong and popular ticket. Nominate no man if it is doubtful about his election.

Pt.ori.E buy up to (he limit of their means, and the amount they will buy will depend upon their means and the price of the articles sought; raise their price and the income in the same ratio, and the same quantity will result ; raise the price while the income remains stationary, and a less quantity will be bought. Eight hones per day on a ba sis of ten hours’ pay, by one-fifth of ihe people while the other four-fifths tire rated at one-fifth less, means that ..one-fifth less of the product of the fifth whose prices are raised will be taken. This is not a remedy for over-production. POLITICAL PICK-UPS. Levi Thompson is a candidate for the nomination for Representative.

COMMENCEMENT, Amid Musio, Flowers and Plaudits Five Sweet tJIrl Graduates and One Talented Young Man Orate To a Large and Intelligent Audience— ‘ Synopsis of Their Able Papers. At the commencement exercises of the Petersburg high school, Monday evening,in Schaefer’s Hall, assembled a very large and intelligent audience, the hall being crowded and many turned away. On either side of tire front part of the stage were tastefully arranged pot flowers; the class motto, “Vincil, Qui Se Vineit,” was displayed above the drop curtain, and on the stage with the graduates were the Teachers, trustees, ministers of the gospel, and those taking part in the exercises. After a quartette, ‘'Great is the Lord,” Rev. C. W. Yates opened with an invocation. The essays and orations were interspersed with quartettes, trios, and solos; bf Miss Anna llewins, Miss Lulu Bartlett, John B. Young and Joseph Crouch, with Miss Mellio Oppelt accompanist. Hon. J. AV. Ilolcomhe failing to he present, as he missed the train, ltev. A. W. Freeman made an earnest and well-timed address to the graduates, tcachers*and school patrons. Prof. A. C. Crouch delivered appropriate remarks to the

class, presented the diplomas and certificates to State and Purdue Universities. liev. A. W. Freeman pronounced the benediction. The graduate^ delivered their essays and orations in an easy and graceful manner. . The papers were replete with culture, wisdom and originality, and it is with pleasure that we publish a synopsis of each, though if spaee permitted v.'O would publish them in full. Flowers vrere profusely given to all the graduates, and Miss King received a gold watch and chain from her father. Below will be found the synopses: The Power of Fiuhlra. Salutatory. BY rX'GKN'IA UEiVIS J. Fashion is an inexorable tyrant, and most people are its willing slaves, though many do not realize its jiowor; all to a certaiu degree areinflunced by the capricesof fashion. All fashions- change frequently, amt we often hear the questions, Who started this fashion? or, Row did this originate? It would be naming if we could know of the many way's some curious customs commence. Fashion governs everything, and everybody, iribro or less, and there are few things which are not in its power. Even ordinary, every-day actions are controlled by it. “The latest thing out” is nil way s the nicest and prettiest. At the present time we find us many curiosities in fashion exist as ever. Ladies arc usually thought to care more tor fashion and observe it more closely than those of the opposite sex; hat eminent men share the frailties of the more common place. The Macaroni, or highly dressed bean, of the eighteenth century has licen succeeded by the dandy and dude of the present day, who With mincing, affecting manners prides himself on his starched collars and shapely hands. Turning to literature, it would lie tedious to follow the changes in (be style and seuse of the many writers of every country in the wide world Fashion did not pass by the ancients untouched. The Greeks were unsurpassed in the elegance of their public buildings. In MkUrvul times art found its chief expression in the building of cathedrals, in which religious ideas were expressed, so that great length and loftiness ofthe interior symbolized the lHvine majesty; high pointed towers, Faith and 1Io|m>; and the steps to the altar indicated the Trinity. The folly of demanding picturesquenpss in alt buildings by the Americans lias so corrupted our taste that the greatest, because the most lasting, charms of architecture, which are simplicity, common sense and quiet lieauty, have beet? neglected in modern buildings. We see the pow_ er of fashion in every department of life Raslitt, the essayist, says o£ it: “Fashion constantly begins and ends in two things it abhors most—singularity and vulgarity. It is the per]>ctunl setting up and disownlnga certain standard of taste, elegance and refinement which has no other foundation or authority than that it is the prevailing distraction ofthe moment which was yesterday ridiculous from its lieiug new and tie morrow odious lYom its being common. It is bmtnd to no rule and obliged to eoutorni to every ru le,”

Sttrr.ru in l,i (r> BY I.ACHA KECKS. Kite is a strange journey, up u steep hill, and always seems steepest at the start Starting in life, like starting in a ruee, when the start is made, we are not sure that we will lie successful; trained muscles and iron endurance are essential. The first point to he settled is: What position will we occupy? A place in the ranks, or will we strive to be a leader, and what shall he our Ideal of success; the attainment of wealth or distinction, or shall we live a life true to the impulses of our better nature and strive to elevate humanity? At the first step we must have knowledge, trained and mastered. A parent's best gift to his children is a cultivated mind. It is worth more than money. “For the love or money is the root of all evil.-’ Confidence is a capital on Wihiich all can depend. Then a person should be careful how he starts in life: “Kook before you leap.” To start right in life one must look inward;; self-respect is the surest evidence of culture. We must prepare success to lie successful. The journey may be through thorns; but to scorn trouble, to correct errors, and keep moving, is the secret of true independence From the humblest position in life may spring the noblest men and women; but it Is not the low position that will make them bright and noble They must have in themselres, the seed of good; when that is present and cared for it will produce excellence. Success in life does not mean simply get ting I h rough life well. It means intelligent and honest work well done. The noblest persou is one who lives the best, ami does a lasting food to all his fellow'-ineu. A rule giveu by the Great Teacher centuries ago is still the >uly safe one to follow : “What you would that mem should do to you, tlto you ever so to them.” So life hears us on hke the current >f a mighty river; while witnessing the [icauUeii about ns the current pushes us mward, Jot “time amt tide waite for no wan.” <! iin to Gift ivorhl is your friend, or you r enemy, as you hoose to i^ake it. Keep w ith the gcod and ?ou will be one of I hem. Trifle*. fiY CRAHbOTTK W 111TIJ. trifle! How quickly the words may the tongue! Hone and aaid, noted men ted upon, and yet what consemny ensue! Trifles have broken fie battle of life is vour Own; be. y respect youreolf. Remember the dismembered kingdoms. Kittle ^fles, are sometimes of great r greater importuuce than

we think at a single stance. Alt things, be they ever so small, are designed for some use, and they should not be considered as trifles. Who does not know that old saying: “Take care of the dimes and the dollars will take ewe of themselves;” and wfco does not know equally as well how true it is; for if we do not take care of or give our attention to the trifles or smaller interests, how can we expect to meet the greater considerations? Trifling words have been known to separate triends and work untold mischief; while kiud words may bring more joy or harsh words more sorrow to the heart of t he hearer than the speaker imagines. Wliat lias made the heart sunny with rapture? What has wrapped it in a mist of tears? Trifles, It is not to the greater events of life, that come only now and then, but to trifles that we must look for our everyday happiness. Hut we must not overlook greater things and higher considerations* We should not step over a jewel and pick up a pin. Neither should we remember an item of gossip and forget the lecture of a learned man or the Sunday sermon. In conclusion, 1 would say that there is a medium to be observed in the consideration of trifles, based upon common sense and discretion, that should lead us to assign to them their proper place, yet eantion us against over-estimating them to the exclusion of wider interests. Veneer. BY HATT1K CARTKR. Veneering is the art, for the most part, of covering or overlaying inexpensive material with thin sheets of rare and valuable wood, giving to the surface the appearance of the richest and most desirable pjeces of furniture, To-night, we b»g your indulgence while we apply the figure to persons who assume a character not their true covering and polish. A person whose character is veneered may shed around us, for a brief time, a halo, whose mellow tints may absorb our confidence and friendship, hut soon their damp, chilling, noxious fog is swept away, and our “twinkling star of guidance

slimes brightly above the horizon.’’ True courtliness smooths, ami bestrews life's pathway with flowers; but neither rank, riches, splendor, nor veneered elegance of manner, when alone, should claim or share esteem. Pretending individuals who cheer ns the most often while our fortune's banner calmly floats upon the breeze, are, sad to say, the first to turn from and trample upon Our ensign when it is torn from the staff by misfortune. The sacred precepts of God are often veneered by those who accept religious forms and teachings;;but. the masked, removed, there is shown a base character, a corrupt heart, and the abnde of ignoble thoughts, mean and selfish impulses. These vacillating characters are as a superstructure ereeted upon a fragile foundation, and at the first approach of storm trembles and is torn asunder Think we that veneered characteristics could have led the armies of the rebellion, the revolution and the Crimean war to victory; formed empires, kingdoms, republics, schools of art and science. Could a veneered religion have been carried down through ages as a beacon ligh t tecivilizaticn and morality? No, nbvkk! Steadfastness of purpose, irrepressible otfttrage and de_ eisive course of action are the levers by which the political, commercial, civic and religious interests of the world are moved forward. Look on this bright; picture: Persons actuated by noble motives, honorable characters, true to the interests of their actions, and faithful to the duties which Providence has alloted to them, they will be forever the recipients of honors and emoluments from their fellow-men; and it will be reserved for those only who have qualified themselves by a free, open and untarnished spirit of action for admission into the sacred band and union of true friendship. Government. BY CAPITOI.A KING. Government, whieh is of such vast importance to every person, consists in the controlling i>ower whieh we have over ourselves and also over others. If self-government was exercised as much as it should be, a second power would he unnecessary. Put as we all know it would bo impossible to think of each individual having such complete control of himself. So we see the necessity of government. We have never read oroveu heardfefn nation which did not (Kisses some kindYof government. It is necessary for the \Yctl lieing of the people and the pros(K>rity of the country. In this idea of a government it is implied timt it should lie responsible to no human (lower, and in the (lower w hich it possesses of controlling every other will is also implied the right of protecting each one from being needlessly or wrongfully eont mill'd by another. Of the different forms of government whieh have existed, the Ifemoeracy, or the plan established in this oountry, is regarded as the host to secure thcriilierties and promote the welfare of the (icople. The pilgrims came to our shores that their children might lie properly reared, taught the religion of their parents, and be allowed to express their opinions as they Wished; and our hearts are touched with the love for our country, because we have never been accustomed to any hardships, compared with those of other countries. Then how thaukful we should lie that our lots are cast in a country which enjoys so liberal a government, and how careful we should lie not to abuse any of the blessings thus placed within our reach.

In ParctrtT t» Curse ¥ ValetlMorir, BY JOWtPH ('ItOt'Clt. I would draw the Hue between honest poverty and pauperism, Poverty means a lark of the necessaries of life; pannei'ism Implies, usually, culpable dependence, it is true, wealth Is power. One of the crying sins of the ago Is greed for gain. But science and literature have liccn enriched by talents developed by years of self-denial and poverty. Krom t he fact that it gives us larger s.viniuithies (hr the unfortunate, poverty. Is not a curse To this element of man’s nature, may be attributed our liencvolcnt lust Buttons and all organised effort for the betteringof theconditli nef mankind. Poverty lathe enusoof the most noble motives and aspirations that arise in the breast of mnn; stimulates his energies lo improve hla condition. 1 ‘overt y causes men to observe the virtues; time and money should not ho spent upon what the j*>or man knows woald result in his utter ruin. We have evidence of the curse of wealth In the history of every nation. We may examine the biographies of the prominent men of our nation, and we will find that the majority of them worked their way through life lo fame, which necessity alone eonld have developed. The framers of our constitution were men who had contended with poverty all their lives,sand as a consequence they formed a constitution for the people. Poverty has been a blessing instead of a curse to ovn country. Important discoveries have been made, which may be wholly attributed to the poverty of the discoverer, which necessitates application. It ten great mistake to think that because a man has amassed a fortune his lire has been a success. How much more successful is a man who is an actor in the opposite phase of life. He may uot have attained much wealth. But what of that? He has the satisfaction of knowing that there Is light In the future Tor him. He has laid up treasures In a better world; and he will not have to answer for misgivings when the great day comes; when “The hook of ages spread, From which all the deeds are read t»f the living and the dead; When before the judge severe AII thing hidden musl appear. Nought shall ;>ass unnoticed hero.” M • . ... ..... eg “Yes,” said Ito / to his neighbor aceross tho fence, “»<he labeling men hits in tho rigid.

Our Schools, Teachers and Graduates. The Petersburg public school closed last Friday. The term just ended was one of the most successful in the history of the school. There was an increased attendance, the monthly enrollment being from 303 to 306. The pupils were prompt in attendance, and the total amount of tardiness was not half as much as last year. A thorough interest was manifested throughout the term, and the parents, pupils and teachers working in perfect unison accomplished a great good. The following corps of teachers deserve unstinted praise for their work. Prof. A. C, Crouch, Superintendent: G. J. Nichols, high school; Miss Frank Taylor, grammar; Mrs. H. B. Elliott, intermediate; Miss It. L. AVhittinghill, second primary; Miss Lulu Bartlett, first primary. There were six graduates this year, and a report of the commencement exercises Will be found elsewhere in this issue, with a synopsis of the essays.

Reunion of Company K., 24th Indiana. Company K., 24th Indiana, will meet ai W. A. Olipliant's residence to celebrate the 23d anniversary of the battle of Champion Hills, on May 16th. Mr. Oliphant lias made arrangements to entertain the old company from the 15th inst., and will be pleased to have as many of the old regiment as can attend. This company bad forty men for doty on the morning of the battle, thirty-six of whom were engaged in the fight; eight were killed and twenty-four wounded, aud yet they held their ground and the front battle line of the enemy until reinforcements come. This is why the 24th regiment love to speak of Champion Hill. There nine veteran regiments fought Pemberton’s entire force of eighty regiments for three terrible hours, in open field fight on ground of their own choosing, greatly advantageous to the Coi - federate army. Not only did Hovcy’s Division drive them from their stronghold on the Hill but they held it against three terrific assaults from the enemy until Horey’s Division

were cither uead or bleeding mim wonnls. Gen. Grant said that night to llovcy: “I have been present at thirty-eight battles, but I am free to admit that I never saw men stand against such terrible odds as your division did to-day, your men don't seem to realise when they are overpowered ; they fight on just the same! * * Of Interest to Ladles.

For six long, dreary years I have been a great sufferer from a complaint of my kidneys, which fulled to be cured by physicians oradvortlsed remedies. I began to feel I could never secure relief, as I had spent two hundred and fifty dollars without success. The disease wan so excruciating that it often prevented me from performing my dally duty. I was advised to try the efficacy of B. B. B., and cine single bottle, costing 31, gave me more relief than all the combined treatment I had ever received. Its action on the kidneys is simply wonderful, and any one who needs a real speedy and harmless kidney medicine should not hesitate to give B. B. it. a trial. One bottle will convince any one. C. II.
