SMALL TALK.

—Eiglesbach’s meat market has been remodeled and la very much improved. —Excepting the mustache, Homer D. Copecloeely resembles Mr. J. V. W. Kirk, and the ladies say Homer is a good-looking young man. —The town was full of people last Saturday, aud many of them called at the Republican offlee. Come in. We are always glad to see you. —“Iro Quois” furnishes an interesting batch of ‘‘Local Gleanings,” this week, and every lover of local news will not fail to look them over. —The Republican from this date to the first of January, 1881, for $1.53. It is the official paper, the largest paper and the best paper ever printed in Jasper county. —Postmaster James, who is a member of the Republican Central Committee, returned from ludianapolis, I last Friday evening, quite ‘‘lame Id one leg and couldn’t walk very well on the other.” Rheumatism is the cause. He still goes about on crutches, but hopes to get better in a few days. ' , I —The barbers of this place seem to have but little regard for an editor’s good looks. Neither shop advertises and but one takes the Republican. 1 Paying money for a shave and purchasing a show ticket has usually been considered by editors of well-regulat-ed newspapers, as being wicked and “unconstitutional.” —George Gruuel, the enterprising harness-maker, is about to remove his stock of goods and place of business from the old stand on Front street to I the north side of Washington street, in the Leopold building, and in theronm fomerly occupied by SJ Bass. Mr. Grnuel invites all friends aud customers to give him a call at his new staud.

—The temperance meeting at the court house failed, last Saturday evening, for want of patronage. The president, Mr. Price, was at Lafayette, and the attractions elsewhere greatly dimmed the prospect for a good meeting, lienee those present were dismissed, the lights extinguished and tiie doors closed. Only those who had sjieeclies ‘‘cut and dried” for the occasion were particularly disappointed. —The Irving Literary Association made a good hit dn securing Homer D. Cope to recite,the play of Damon and Pythias. His gestures are good and his articulations perfect. Every person present, especially the lovers of ancieut literature and the science of langmige, were highly entertained. The work is long and it must have been a most prodigious task to commit it all to such a perfect remembrance. We have read Mark Twain’s “Uncle Daniel’s Apparation.” bfit it never was so funny as when recited by Cope. —A Go-pel Temperance meeting will he held at the M. E- church next Sabbath evening."' In the main Sunday evening temperance meetings accompiish much good, but the horriflying aspect attending them is the sacrilegious behavior of “the boys” and a few young men. Promiscuous gut herings in towns of this size arc generally attended by a number of hood-

I lums who behave badly and make I night hideous with their yclls.but we I hope it will not be so on this occasion. There being no other Sunday evening service in town, a good attendance is expected. Go early to get seats. —Elder Godfrey frequently goes off in flights of eloquence during a discourse and occasionally spices his remarks with irony and wit. At the opening of the Sabbath morning ser; \’ice lie prayed—“ And O Lord, send the incorrigible tramp, to the penitentiary or to the grave.” During the sermon we penciled the following: “Some people put more trust in the almanac, which was made'by the Egyptians, than t|icy do in the Bible. They can’t sow flax, make soap or build fences without consulting it.” “Long after Bob lugersoll’s eloquence is forgottenand the' last copy of his book is I nibbled by the mice will the truths of the Bible continue to shine with the effulgence of divine gldry.” —Now is the time to advertise your j Christmas and Holiday goods. Don’t •‘hide your light under a bushel.” If you have something ,to sell that the j people want, let it be known, and I in so doing put yourself upon the list ! as au enterprising citizen. A business man whose soul can be baited witli u I nickel, and his motives are all selfish, seldom stands very high as a citizen I in a liberal community, nor succeeds very well unless the people, through a force of circumstances are compelled to trade with him. The principal merthhnts in Rensselaer advertise pretty liberally but a few think it “no good.” The dealer who makes his business known to the world not only increases his own patronage but becomes a public benefactor in the way of advertising the county aud town. —The regular monthly meeting of the Jasper Couuty Temperance Union was held at the Christian church, last Monday evening. There was a fair audience present, and as no programme had been prepared.(he exercises were somewhat miscellaneous. Speeches were made by Sampson Erwin, M. F. Spitler, Rev. Halstead, Lyman Zea, and Wm. Beck. A declamation by Fannie Wood, and singing by the choir. Mr. Beck, perhaps, delivered the most effective speech of his life. He ds known by all his acquaintances to he a strictly honest man in every particular and has a decided distate for the hypocrite and does not hesitate to express it in the most forcibly English his German accents will admit. He does not deny that he has had a large experience in years past with the demon which he now seeks to destroy, and | has no sympathy or respect for such j a man as he saw “Two mont ago I stand on tis very platform und say T never bas any experience,’ when py—-dog-on it, I see tat very feller und two onneronesin Mr. Thompson’s pasture from ten days before dat, yoost so trunk a e fools. I not like such hypocrits und if lie ever say dot again in myjiresence I git rid up and gif him away.” The officers for the unexpired term were elected and the meeting adjourned to meet the first Monday in January, at the M. E. Church.

—The GreenbkCkeV* are going to try it again. Bee notice on oppoait page. —Five new box-care were added to the rolling stock of our narrow guage railroad this week. - —The “city dads” are contemplating the erection of a calaboose, not that they have “enemies to punish,” hut for the accommodation of “occasional individuals”whoget too“tired” to go home or too belligerent for the peace aud comfort of good citizens. —Dr. F- P. Bitters, of Clay pool, Ind., is in town, and has arranged to locate here about the first of January. He is a graduate of the Normal college at Valparaiso, and of the Kentucky Medical College at Louisville, and having had considerable experience as a practitioner bis success here is assured. —A stranger remarked In oar hearing a few days ago that the gentlemen of Rensselaer, comparatively speaking, are better looking than the ladies. To avoid getting our hair pulled for giving publicity to the statement, we hasten to remark that we don’t believe the story. The veracity of male gossips, you know, is very questionable. —Sheriff Robinson, as a detective and thief-catcher, is an expert. Would time and space permit we could tell how he harvested a would-be guiltedged young man from Benton county, named Jerry Owens, tor purchasing a sixty-five-dollar watch of Dr. Hamar under false pretences. As the Dutchman said—“ Robinson, he finds ’em yoost so well where they aint as where they nre.”

—Postmaster James will make some new aud valuable improvements in the postoffice about the first of January. Several patent lock-boxes will be added for the accommodation of editors and business men who receive a larze amount of mail matter. A good-sized safe was received Monday in which to keep the money, stamps and other valuables belonging to the postofflee department. —Wc lay the President’s Message, which was presented to Congress last Monday, before our numerous readers this morning, and we hope each one feels a sufficient interest in the management of National affairs to give it a careful perusal, and also the report of the Secretary of the Treasury. The Republican Is no “slow coach” in presenting the news. —J. L. Ma.keever, of this place, has been tendered a position as teacher of German and rhetoric, and principal of the commercial department of an institution of learning recently established at Oceola, Neb. If he accepts he will he required to report for duty about the 7th of. January. He possesses the ability and a fair share of grit and grace, which warrent success. —Every new subscriber paying $1.50 will get the Republican from this dale to the first day of January, 1881. Those in arrears will have the same opportunity by paying delinquency up to the first of this month. Ali subscribers whose subscription dates back of Oc». 10, 1870, can pay up their delinquency at the rate of one dollar per year—tlie terms of the Union —providing such arrears are paid prior to January 1, 1830.—Richard C. Fielder was charged last Saturday, before His Honor, E. T. Harding, by the State of Indiana, with swearing falsely in a case tried before the October term of the Jasper Circuit Court, wherein Dr. J. H. Loughridge was plaintiff and the said Fielder defendant. It was found after the merits of the case had Jtieen thoroughly sifted that said defendant had committed pergury but in a matter in which the evidence was immaterial, and by a motion of the defendants attorneys the indictment was quashed. —Dr, Link, of this place, has taken a partner in the practice of medicine, Dr. Owens, of Kansas, Ills., who is a a. college graduate and has had considerable, experience as a medical practitioner. He comes well recommended and is gentlemanly in appearance and disposition. Dr. Liuk goes to St- Lou's this week to engage in a special course of studies on nervous diseases, at the Homeopathic Medical Institute of Missouri. Mrs.' Link is at Sullivan, Ills., and will remain there until the ret urn of her husband, about two months hence.

—By a vote taken at the Presbyterian Xalibath-sehool. last Sunday afternoou. it was decided* to continue tlie work of that organi/.ation during the winter months. That is as it should be. No church should permit its best interests to lag on account of the severity of the weather, so long as the devil is assiduous without regard to the condition of the climate. The Sabbuth-sehool is the nursery of the church and one cannot hope to succeed without the assistance of the other. We hope the officers and teachers instead of “resting from theif labors” will incrase their efforts of usefulness and the number of attendants. —Every voter in Jasper county will find it to his interest to take the Rensselaer Republican during 1880. The political ’campaign next summer will be of more interest to every man who desires to vote intelligently than any of the proceeding ones. In the spring we will be called upon to vote on the State constitutional amendments, elect township trustees, justices, constables, supervisors, Ac. In the fall a President and Vice-President of the United States, a Governor of the State of Indiana and other State officers. In this county a sheriff, treasurer, recorder, surveyor and two commissioners. It will l»e a season of elections, political meetings, political speeches, Ac. and every wide-awake citizen will be uuxious to know wnat is going on in bis immediate vicinity as well as througout the State and Nation. The Republican will faithfully chronicle every eveut worthy of mention,and no voter can afford to deprive himself of such information. Besides the full report of all the important local, political and miscellaneous news found In each Issue of the Republican, it contains the latest market reports, an educational department, youths department, agricultural department, a column of religious reading, a column of sense and nonsense, a select story and a large amount of miscellaneous reading. And all this once a week for one dollar and fifty cents a year.

The Mistakes of Moses(?).

Notwithstanding the unpleasantness of the weather and the moisture of the roads a number oi persona from the country were in attendance at the M. E. quarterly meeting services held at this place daring Saturday and Sabbath. Quite a good congregation assembled Sabbath moroiag to hear Rev. Dr. Godfrey, the presiding elder of this district, whose sound theological reasoning and oratorical ability elicits the closest attention of all hearers. His discourse on this occasion could hardly be called a sermon, or a lecture, lor it was nothing more nor less than a recital of the life and time of Moses, as found in the Scripture!, and those who were familiar with this part of Holy writ were perhaps not less interested ip the recital of this “old, old story,” than those not conversant with the history of this ancient patriarch.' Commencing with the decree ot King Pharaoh, requiring the slaying of every male infant born to an Israelite mother, he followed the acts of Moses from infancy to old age, minutely depicting the preservation of his life by the cunning of his mother and his sister Miriuro; the finding of Moses in the bulrnshes by Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopts him as her son; his early life and education at the King’s palace; the homage paid him as the prospective King of Egypt and ruling monarch ot the world; the religious instruction of his mother which induced him at the time the scepter of Egypt was about to fall into his hands to “refuse to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter “choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people ot to enjoy the pleasures ot sin for a season;” how, because of his refusal he was scorned, driven from the King’s palace, required tp doff his royal robes and take his place among his Israelite’ brethren as a slave in the field; how he slew the task-master and tied as a murderer from justice to the bleak mounting of Midian and became a shepherd in the service of Jethro, whose daughter he afterward took to .wife; how the Lord talked to him from the burning bush and desired him to return to Egypt and deliver the Israelites from bondage; his return to the court of Pharoah, who refuses to permit his slaves nnder the leadership ot Moses to depart the land of Goshen; the ten plagues and the harduing of Pharaoh's heart; the passover, the march of the six hundred thousand men besides the women and children, who being led by the pillar of cloud by day ami fire by night find themselves in a terrible dilemma—in front, the dashing waters of the ocean, on either side unsurmountable mountains, and in the rear Pharaoh and his angry host ready to slay them or compel their return to bondage; the. dividing of the waters, the destruction of the Egyptians and the triumph of the army of the Lord; Moses holding converse on Mount Sinai face to face with Jehovah; the forty l years wandering in the wilderness; his view from Mount Pijsgah, his death and burial, his presence at the transfiguration, his glory with the Lord in Heaven while the teeming millions of the earth and unborn generations yet to come will “sing the song of Moses and tho Lamb” throughout eternity. The conclusion was that Moses didn’t make any mistakes, and that by refusing to become the monarch of the civilized world for the brief period of life ho is receiving and will continue to receive the homage A>f II eaven forever.

DIED.

In Rensselaer, Wednesday evening? Nov. 26, Homes, Von of Frank L, and Lee A. Cotton, aged about 5 year*. Little Homer was a bright, intelligent boy, and was much loved by all who knew him. His death is a sad ntlliction to his parents and relatives. God lias lain His hand heavily upon thi's family, and noue but those who have suffered a like licreavemcntcnn fully sympathize with them. Wetrust that they will meekly bow beneath thechastning rod of Providence, remembering that those “whom the Lord loveth he cliasteneth and scourgetli every son whom he receiveth.’’ While the parents sustain a great loss in little Homer’s death, it is his eternal gain. Millions of infant souls compose the family above. Tlie funeral services were held in the M. E. Church. A large aud sympathizing congregation were in attendance. A. M. WOOD. Near Rensselaer, Nov. 26, 'William Malntt. aged 33 years.

He leaves a wife and several children to whom we extend our prayers and Christian sympathies.
