SMALL TALK.

—Two for 6 cento at the poet ofllce. -Old pepen eoJj <kwen at this office. —«c*oa F; Tire 3peon bee been absent for the past week on professional business, Ac* —Mordecal F. CMleote and Charles H. Price went to Indianapolis, Monday, to attend the grand lodge of the KJ lights of Pythes*. —A far necklace was lost by Mis. R. S. Dwiggina so;ne weeks ago. a suitable reward will be paid for its re* turn to the Citizen*’ Bank. —Farmes and others should not forget that fruit trees purchased at the Rensselaer Nursery are superior in every way to thoce sold by agents, and just as cheap. —Miss Clara Garrison, n Valparaiso “belle of beauty,” Is (he guest of Miss Mattie Coen. Ren-selear is not lacking in attractions to the young ladies of our neighboring towns. —John F. Boroughs has also moved bis law office iuto theMakeever Block. Those wishing to consult him on questions of law will find him at room No. 3. Enter without knocking. —lt is no discredit to the Greenbackers in this county to say that Charles H. Price possesses the controlling brains of that very unfortunate party. “He sayetli to one man do and he doeth it; and to another go and he goeth.” —The party of ladles and gentlemen who gave our residence snch a happy vocal serenade, last Saturday evening, will please accept our most grateful thanks. We were not at home but the motive is appreciated though we didn't hear the music. Come again. —The Democratic Sentinel printing office will be moved into the Makeever building, in a few days, just acmes the hall from the Republican office. Should Brother Me attempt to cut a political pigeon wing around us our readers may expect to hear of a hightoned Democratic funeral before the campaign is half over. — A certain individual who is in the habit of taking periodical drunks, followed a mother and daughter to their home in the northeast part of town, last Saturday evening, and attempted to enter their residence by force. Before be was willing to desist he fell into the hands of the Lushand and father who was tempted to run him through his “mill.” The same per. son, on the same evening, sought to gaiu admission to a widow lady’s residence by way of a back window but decamped in time to save the explosion of gunpowder In close proximity to bis illuminated prqbocis. If this thing is repeated the lynx-eyed law will be tempted to scrutinize the private character' and nocturnal circumambulatious of whisky demented individuals. —The temperance services at the court house, last Friday evening, attracted an immetice crowd of people, and the court room was packed from the head of thestairways to the judge's stand. Without underestimating the efficiency of the other offic.als we are disposed to conclude that the success of the Blue Ribbon Society in this place is largely due to the satisfactory and entertaining m-unor in which Mr. Charles H. Price, the president of the association, conducts these weekly public meetings. The first speaker called at the last meeting was Mrs. R. S. Dwiggings. who after making a few remarks on the beauties and blessings of a temperate life, said she would like to organize a company of one hundred ladies who would obligate themselves not to visit a saloon for one year except upon important business, and she would also be pleased to Inlist the same number of men who would pledge I themselves in a similar manner. [By the chairman,“l want my wife counted in that company.”] Miss Maggie. Haley recited ‘‘The Little Bow of Blue,” in an impressive manner. Mr. Charles Hazzard, the Mark Twain of the association, set the audience in a roar with a fresh supply of quaint and ironical sayings. Miss Celia Wilkinson expressed her sympathy for those who deal In Intoxicating drinks and are unable by a lack of early education to error of their ways. She was Tollowed by Master Georgie Healey, who declaimed “This great, big world of ours,” and was loudly ap_ plauded. Dr. F. P. Bitters was called next. He said several funny things by way of introduction, but concluded his remarks with a little sermon based upon a text of scripture. Miss Jessie ! rench recited a lengthy poem, which fully demonstrated her powers of memory. Mr. Daniel Duvall, who is a man of no ordinary mental capacity, and who but lately chose the “better way,” said he had no speech to make

but was firm in the faith and desired to be enrolled in the one year’s service under the leadership of Mre.Dwiggins, which was sanctioned by several hearty ‘‘amens.” Tears of joy were shed when he signed the pledge at a previous meeting, and perhaps there is up maninthe community whom the temperance people would go farther to assist in reforming, than he. James Thompson, who is also a new convert to the cause of temperance, expressed a wish to inlist in the one year service or “during the war.” Wm.Wibert did not respond to a call for a speech. [The chairman—‘‘Brother Wibert, stand up and becouuted.”] Brother Zea, who is never too full for utterance, made a few appropriate remarks, and was applauded for his brevity. Rev. Hope B. Miller, chaplain of the Northern State prison, was present and gave an account of the temperance work there. He said that fully nine out of ten of the convicts had become so through the use of alcoholic driuks, and among the number are thirty persons imprisoned for life, each of whom had been in the habit of using intoxicating liquors. Those who expect to get seats at future meetings must'go early.

DRESS MAKING.

Mrs. John Pureupite has secured the services of an expert Dress Maker and is now prepared to do work in the most fashionable and approved manner. ' The ladies of Rensselaer and vicinity are respectfully invited tc call. A perfect fit is warranted in every dress made. Rooms over Imes's Drug Store. ' We also want to eiupioy a lady apprentice.

—Two for 5 cento at the poet office. —We have a “boom” on sheriff sales this week. Mr. L. B. Warner will remove his family to the rooms over his store after the same are vacated by Mr. Alfred Thompson ant} family. —Fleming Phillips, Esq., one of Jasper coanty’s ‘‘old reliables,” made us a pleasant call one day last week, aad renewed his subscription to the Re- , PUBLICAN. —Father Lewis preached last Sabbath morning and evening at the M. E. church. The attendance was very good at both eer vices and judging from the attention given, his auditors were well entertained. Rev. Mr. Wood was at Bradford, conducting the quarterly meeting services at that place. —One Democrat has remarked that we are a Bitterfs) partisan and unnecessarily sever on those who are not of the same political faith. We entertain tio i>ersoual feeling against.our neighbors and friends because they differ with ns politically, but as a party and the principles they suppor they must prepare to receive stalwart blows cr “stand from under.” —The Supreme Court of Marion County has declared that the act of the legislature prohibiting the taxing of property to the value of five hundred dollars, belonging to widows and unmarried women, to be unconstitutional. Attorney General Woolen has expressed the same opinion. The “girls” of Jasper county owning taxable property will please step up to County Treasurer Adam’s office and liquidate their accounts. ' —Mr. \V. L. Snodgrass, of Otterbein, Indiana, sent us a dollar bill and a half dollar in silver, one day last week, in a letter, to renew his subscription to the Republican. It came through all safe, but it Otterbein forwarded a few weeks earlier to prevent the paper beiug discontinued. Those who send money by letter to us had better enclose a one dollar bill, which will pay for eight months, or a two dollar bill for sixteen mouths. With the present mail system small sums of money can be sent in a letter with all safety, and we will agree to be responsible for the loss of all moneys thus forwarded to us on subscription. —Messrs. G- A. Moorehouse, contractor, A. 8. Bisscll, A. Adams, and A. Wood, workmen on Judge Hammond’s house, now about completed, in rcmbrance of the friendly relations existing between tiicm and him, gave the Judge a pleasunt surprise, ou Monday evening of last week, by presenting him with an elegant Bet of triple ink-stands and a neat statuette of the Goddess of Justice, which were gratefully and lhankfully received and will be kept as momentoes of the esteemed donors. These gentlemen have petformed their work to the entire satisfaction of Judge Hammond and to the praise of all who have seen It. —We found the following lying on the editor's table: “The Blue Ribbon Choir have determined to present to the people the programme which they have been preparing, at Willey A Sigler’s new Opera House, on the evening of Saturday, February 7th. This Is promised to the public as a full evening’s entertainment and willconsist of the thrilling five-act drama, entitled ‘‘The Poor of New York,” with songs ami other entertaiuing exercises before the play and between acts. The proceeds of the entertainment will be devoted to the purchase of an organ for the use of the Blue Ribbon Society. This is a worthy object and every one should turn out and patronize them, thus helping along a good cause, and at the same tirne<nll are promised their money’s worth of entertainment.” —By request we publish a report of the proceedings of the Greenback meeting held at the court house, last Saturday afternoon. We occupied a rear seat and made some notes, but the business transacted was so remarkably flat and. spiritless that for the

credit of our erring brethren we withhold criticisms. This state of affairs existed not because the men- there assembled were not intelligent, for they were, asd doubtless well versed in Party politics, hut because they were simply shaming and had no Jhith in what they, were doing. We know nothing about the facts, because near-, ly every person present was a stranger us, but the conclusion we arrived at was that each of them heretofore, or at present, are impressed with the Idea that they deserve to be called to serve “the dear people” in office, and because they huve not been so recognized and honored they feei like making their influence felt in another direction. Onq would presume from what they said (not from what they did or how they did it) that the salvation of the government depends upon the wisdom and activity of the Greenback party, and that Jasper county is the hub around which that miraculous organization must revolve. This

meeting was called as a mass convention, but the greatest number present at one time was twenty, only thirteen of vftiom were Greenbackere. Eleven of that number (so we-are informed) were formerly Republicans and three were Democrats. We cannot close this brier review without calling attention to the mangled condition of the resolutions adopted as a platform of principles. They are aa incomprehensible as eternity, as rational as the Mormon bible, and as conflicting as the Kilkenny cats. The third resolution calls for the payment of the National debt "according to the original contract,” which was in coin. This is in direct conflict with the plans and specifications upon which the founders or the Greenback craze sought to erect a new National party. They declared that the “ bloated bond-boldere must accept greenbacks,” but now that the greenbaeks are at par with gold and are acceptable for all debts, our Jasper county managers of the Nation’s finance want to overload the bondholders with precious metals.

The pablle is respectfully Invited to call—Mr. J. T. Abbott, the recorder elect of Jasper county, has returned from Infiianapolis to prepare to enter upon, the duties of his office. —W. E. Moore, Esq-, <»T Hanging Grove township, returned a few days ago from so exended visit with his children and friends in Kansas. —Mr. L- B. Warner, the proprietor of the Narrow Gauge Clothing Store, has removed his stock of goods to the room formerly occupied by Willey & Sigler. See card in another column—M. O. Cisael was at Chicago, last week and purchased a supply of new material for his job office. Mrs. Cisrel and the baby returned Saturday from a protracted visit among friends in Miami county. • —Mr. J. H. Peacock, proprietor of the Peacock House, became the happy father of a infant son, Monday forenoon. The peacock Is a Republican bird, and so long as the offspring are of the male persuasion, Jasper county is sure to retaiu a reliable Republican majority. —E. H. Tharp, president of the Jasper County Temperance Uuion, handed us a programme of the regular monthly meeting to be held at the Presbyterian church next Monday evening, for publication, but we have not the time 'to put it in type. The meeting promises to be unusually entertaining and worthy of a liberal attendance. —We are not disposed to complain of the railroad, its officials or employes,but It Is certainly a great bore to the business men of this place to have the mails constantly [delayed. Daily papers are not received until thirty hours after they are printed. A slow mule will serve the people better as a mailcarrier unless the time of the trains is changed. —The Hopkins House was supplied with n mammoth new cookstove a few days ago which weighs 1040 pounds, and is about four feet square. Twelve pies can be baked in the lower oven at oue time, and the reservoir holds about a barrel of water. This leads us to remark that the Hopkins House is not excelled in the quality aud quantity of provisions furnished its customers. Every meal is a feast and none are “turned empty away.” —The protracted meeting at the M. E. church closed Tuesday evening. Rev. W’ood has been preaching some sledge-hammer sermons but so far the adamantine hearts of sinners remain unmoved. For some cause religion is at a discount in Rensselaer, and yet the morality of the place will compare favorably with any other county seat in Indiana. This, we are led to believe arises through Ui3 doubts that many entertain of the divinity of Christ, the divine authenticity of the scriptures and the immortality of the soul. Some people can't be good except through fear of punishment and to that class should be pictured the torments of perdition every day in the year. —There is one thing which we desire tosuggest to the town council, and that, is that they rent u room at the expense of the corporation to be used by the members of the Rensselaer Cornet Band as a band room, in which to keep their instruments', safely and in which they can meet to practice. A good hand has become a public necessity and the public ought to help to support it. We believe this suggestion will be seconded by nearly every voter in town, and if some one will act, the object will be accomplished and the baud encouraged to increase its musical ability and usefulhess. The same room could be used by the members of the board as a council chamber, and thus made to do double duty for the same rent.

Emmet Kannal is now occupying his elegant new store room. The shelving, drawers and counters are black walnut and cost about one thousand dollars. It is one of the finest drug stores in the State. Conductor J ones of the I. D. & C. went to In<Jiunnpolls a IOW days ago and had his injured arm rebroken and reset by Dr. Cotningore of the Indiana Medical College. Mr. Jones says it is already much better. Township trustees have nearly as much power as some of the ancient kings of Israel, hence the necessity of electing good men for these dflices. The people of Jordan township talk of re-electing Mr. E. R. Burr for another term.

An Indian chief, “Swift liunner,” was executed for murder, a short time since, in Canada. He refused to have any services of minister or priest; he said white men had been his ruin, and he not think the white man’s God would be good to him. Whisky and post traders licensed by the government have not been civilizers. Politicians and statesmen yielding to the clamors of the frontiersmen who have felt the revengeful hand us the savage, may plan to annihilate the Indian tribes, but the world and posterity will hold us responsible for our dealings with these people. Murderers must be punished, but the nation must take justice, and not revenge, for its inspiration. ‘
