Aud iu how many eases of five minutes frank aud honest talk would bave settled the whole matter. The policy of silence at such a time is a dangerous policy, and many hearts have suffered aud tiled when a word would have healed-them. The street is a dangerous place for boys and girls. Here they acquire their vocabulary of slang, leant the code of the flirt, learn that rudeness ami brazen impudence which detent {wo pie severely condemn, and become filled with false ideas of living. The young person who spends his spare time on the street will sooner or later come to grief, for Saiau is never happier than when giving the street idler some work to do. Mr. W. H.

People who make mistake? are those who I quarrel with one another before their! children or who allow the latter to grow up in idleness; those who talk about their; troubles before strangers; the fati >r who! tells his children to go the way he does not I go himself, and the young wo tutu who! does not make a confidant out of her ! mother.

We never had such fine grass aud hay as at present. Indiana is i rich in cattle, ami we may expect the fanners between now and November will | send over-#5,000,000 worth of cattle to market.” The Washington Herald is getting a little ’ on the jealous order. That poor old town j lias been left so far in the rear since Peters-j burg has struck natural gas that the; citizens were unable to raise sufficient funds ! to bold a celebration of the nations' holiday. > Even the editor came here to celebrate aud ■ drink circus lemonade and see the midway j dancers. The Herald talks as follows: At Petersburg the Jumbo gas well will! spout off all day, but the people, who go1 there to see her spout will also be compelled to listen to some of the half jagged Pikeites spout off in competition to /umbo. We’ve been there. A her watching the well spout off for a while if you become tired of it you can watch her spout some more, and listen to some two dozen or more loafer* who will each give you a stereotyped description of tlie well and wind up by aiding for the price of a drink. * i

For this he gave a check ou a Bluff ton .mnk. Taggart wired the tank and found t hat the man had no funds there.—Indianapous Journal. The \Va>hington Democrat seems to tpink that too much gas is being wasted in Petersburg in showing it to the thousands of people who visit this city every week Well when Washington strikes (?) gas, you can keep it closed up just as loug as you please. For the present Jumbo will be closed down at least until 10.000 or 20,000 visitors come to see the wonderful sights of the new gas city of Indiana. Petersburg has the cheapest fuel iu the world aud more of it.

Hicks, the weather prophet, has the weather sixed up as follows for the remaining days of duly: Barometer will arise and winds will shift to westerly after storms until about 9th and 10th, when failing pressure and tendency to storm and bluster will return. From 14th to ITih is a regular storm period, during which high temperature will prevail, and many storm flurries will break in various sections, bringing more bluster than rain. The same is true for .the 21, 22nd and dates touching them. From 86th to 80ih, look for extreme warmth, culminating on about the 29th. in many violent atmosphere disturbances, thunder and rain. Hottest days during storm period coolest between them.” The editor has been the recipient of many compliments on last week's issue of the Democrat.

P*rted With Their Cash. No fakirs or thieves were allowed on the grounds last Saturday but off to the west and just outside the grounds those people who were desirous of getting something for nothing and to beat the gamblers out of their money had the golden opportunity offered them in every conceivable' shape and style. The gamblers were there in full force and the fellows who wanted something for nothing. Many of these suckers are fellows who think they are real cute and just a little smarter than the other fellcw but they got left and the gamblers | took their hard-earned money home with theta. The Dkmocrat frequently gives warning and only last week notified the people to be on the watch and let the gamblers alone but it „:s supposed that these fellows who parted with ^lieir coll cash were not readers of the Dkmcc&at, at i least it is reasonable to snppose-4'uch was the case. The next time they will knew better and will give their gold aud salver pieces to their wives for safe-keeping or at least for so long a time as these slick gamblers are in the city. Now is the time to subscribe lor your home papers that they may give you warning of the next evefct that is to happen when you may get a chance to ge: even. Nit.
