NEWS AND PERSONALS.

The boys are looking for the L. N-A & C. pay car this week, on Friday, probably. ; Birtlis.—At E. J. Smith’s, Marion township, on the 16th, a boy. At Ed. Gay’s, Rensselaer, bn girl. Eider I). T. Halstead returned last Thursday from a four weeks’ stay in Kingman and Sedgwick counties, Kansas. He brings back favorable impressions of Kansas. Capt. Bnrnham was called to Lafayette yesterday on business connected with,’ his application for ft pensisn, and his, school, the grammar department, was dismissed for the day. Mr. H. C. Allison, of Franklin, Ind., formerly editor, for many years of the Franklin Jeffersonian, was in town yesterday and went north in the evening to look after some landed interests he holds in Wheatfield township. Bishop Knickerbocker, bishop of the Protestant Epicopal church of Indiana, will visit Rensselaer next Monday and hold divine services at the Church of God in the evening, as per notice elsewhere. The Bishop ought to have a crowded house. Big Mortgage.—A three million dollar mortgage given by the L., N. A. & C. railroad company to the Farmers Loan and Trust company, of New York, was put on the record books of Jasper county, this week, by Recorder Abbett. It is a second mortgage, as the same company already holds a 22 million dollar mortgage on the road. The members of the Ladies Literary Society, of the W. C. T. U. and of the Ladies Industrial society of the M. E. church, of all which Mrs. W. T. Jones was a member, jointly gave a party in her honor, upon the occasion of her removaljfrom the town, on last Thursday evening, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Sears, across the river. Some fifty or sixty persons attended the party, and literary exercises, games Ac. made it a very pleasant occasion. About Tile Bridge.—Work on the abutments of the new bridge is now ia full blast. The derrick for swinging the huge blocks of stone into place ,was erected Saturday, and on Monday the old bridge was torn down. On the same day Marshal Platt set to work, and out of the old material, in a few hours constructed a serviceable and sufficiently substantial foot-bridge, a short distance above the old bridge. The stone-work is to be completed not later than June Ist and it is expected that the iron-work will be put up and the bridge ready for travel in about 15 days thereafter. The W. C. T. U., at their session last Saturday afternoon, adopted a series, of resolutions upon the removal of Mrs. W. T. Jones from the community, and her consequent withdrawal from the society. The resolutions compliment ber of the Union, and, in appropri-f ate language, express regret at her departure. The resolutions were intended for our Temperance column, but the large amount of space already occupied by temperance matter, compels us to leave them out.

A. New Train and a Ncw Time Table.

We have pretty good authority for asserting that a new passengertrain is .'about to be put on the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railroad and that extensive changes in the running time of the present trains is soon to be made. The new train will be of a, local character and make the round trip daily between Chicago and Lafayette. It is understood that it will leave Chicago in the morning and Lafayette in the afternoon* It is supposed that considerable changes will be .in the time of the present trains. The South bound trains will probably run considerably Ifitef than at present. The present 10:36 a, in. train not passing Rensselaer until abobt noon, and the 10:36 p. m. train being correfepondingly delayed. The north bound trains instead of being later, will probably be earlier than at present, by how much we a,te at /present unable to say. The cfjgugies it is said, will lie made at an early day, berhans nevt

The Ladies Industrial Society of the Free Will Baptist church,, will meet on Thursday of next week, May Ist, at Mrs. M. E> Baylor’s opposite Makeever House. Frank Peregrine, of Hanging Grove township, has received from the Board of County' Commissioners th’e appointment to a scholarship at Purdue University; Attention is called to the circular of the State Soldiers’ Monument association-, and also to the programme of the Camp Fire to be given by the G. A. R. post of this place on Friday evening, Maj’ 2nd, for the benefit of the monument.

All Serene On The L., N. A. & C

Indianapolis Jounial. Matters are moving eo smoothly with the L., N. A. & C. road, and the officials are getting along so harmoniously that all gossip concerning a the' propet ty has ceased. Meantime, the edinpany is building a mile and one-fifth df road paralleling tne track of the Chicago & Atlantic road over wj.ich they now connect with the Chicago & Western Indiana, over which thdy enter Chicago. The work will be completed by June 1. There are two bridges', one a drawbridge, to construct, else they would have had trains running over in twenty days.

A Picturesque American

Brooklyn Union. B The election of Richard W. Thompson as one ,of Indiana’s delegates-at-large to the Republican National convention assures the presence of one of the most picturesque figures left in our politics. It is a full ha,lf century since Mr. Thompson entered public life, and he was a leading figure in the famous canvas of “ fippecanoe and , Tyler, too,” back in 184*). Indeed, it was the recollection of one of his speeches in that Whig campaign which directed Mr. Hayes’ attention to him when the Ohio man was making up his Cabinet and brought him out of a retirement which had lasted nearis a verj’ : old man, his 75th year closing the week after the Chicago convention, but he is still hale and hearty, and his voice ban yet arouse the enthusiasm of a convention.

The Tribune talks to Thempson.

i - i Chicago "’ribime. Mr. 8. P. Thompson, bf Rensselaer, Ind., who was elected a delegate to the National Republican Convention for the Tenth Indiana Dist.ict last Thursday, said yesterday that he was thoroughly independent and would vote for the Candidate who, in his judgement, was the best man for the place. “The District Convention passed a resolution indorsing Blaine as ito first choice and Logan as its second, but I do not intend to construe that as a pledge,” said Thompson. “Tire convention knew that I'was indepf ndeat when it electe I me, hence the passing of this resolution is not binding upon me.” - A “Will Indiana present a home candidate?” , “That is a tpieslwii. If it does itl will be Senator Harrison. I understand a number of the delegates favor ’him. As for me I think Edmunds the most 1 avaitr.ole man mentioned. He is thw v,.ise«t And calmest of the four leading candidates. But ' am n?»t i ledged to him either, but *; Hl übjded by circuristan °s ’

The tide of immigration setting toward our shores is subject to fluctuations, but there, exists no reason to anticipate that during the life of the present generation it will fail to reach the average height of the past ten years; immigration, therefore, continues to be this country, and"rt■TOvorves apahtet-a-t----problem of the highest importance, that of naturalization. That- our naturalization laws are' defective in. many respects is notorious, an I the demand for their revision will no doubt acquire added force from the publication ot an .article by Justice William Strong upon that subject in the North American Review tor May. In the same number of the. Review, Edwin R. Whipple offers a candid judgement of Matthew Arnold, as a thinker and as a man of letters. Richard A. Proctor, under the title of “A Zone of Worlds,” writes of the vast multitude of the" pigmy kindred of the earth, known as the. asteroids. In “The Railway and the State’\ Gerrit'L.
