The golden corn, the floaers 6T spring and the fruit and grain of fall make us all feel that life is worth Uving. . ; : - Srnator Box CtMEitoy is said to have given 4100,000 to the Republican campaign management of Pennsylvania. Some day Indianapolis may have viaducts over its net-work of railroad tracks that now so disfigure the city and endanger the lives of people required to cross them. We say some day, but anticipate it will be some very distant day. School-teaching is not as well paid a profession as it ought to be There ought to be a future for those who engage in it that will justify them in giving some few years of their lives to preparation for it. If the profession was more remunerative better teachers could be had in many instances, and better results would follow. The average school teacher's salary' ought to be increased. Base ball i 9 dead. The war of the various leagues during the postseason has opened the eyes of the ‘‘cranks" to the fact that they were being gulled, by both players and magnates, and in consequence it has been an unprofitable season. We anticipate that it will be some years before the national game will have gained its one time popalarity. The world will wag just the same. The Indiana campaign this year has been conducted by both-and-all-parties on the newspaper plan—that is, through the newspapers. It has been an appeal to the roa6on.

A Lamber Camp in Winter.

St. Nicholas. Life in the lumbermen's winter camps, deep in the backwoods of New Brunswick, Maine, or in Quebec, is not so adventurous as might at first appear. It grows monotonous to the visitor as soon as the strangeness of it has worn off. The noises of the chopping, the shouting, the clanking and trampling of the teams, give sufficient (warning to all the wild creatures of the woods, and they generally agree in giving a wide berth to a neighborhood which has suddenly become so dangerous. The lumbermen are incessantly occupied, chopping and haul* ing from dawn to sundown; and at night they have little energy to ex* pend on the hunting of hears and panthers. Their bunks and their blankets mcquire an overwhelming attraction for them; and by the time the camp has concluded its after supper smoke rad the sound of a few noisy songs has died away, the wild beasts might creep near enough to camp to smell the pork and beans with little risk. At rare intervals, however,the monotony of profound and soundless snows, of endless forests, of felled trees, of devious wood roads, of ax and sled and chain, is sharply broken, and something ocours to remind the heedless woodsman that though in the wilderness he is yet not truly of it* He is suddenly made aware of those 6hy but savage forces which, regarding him as a trespasser on their domain, have been vigilantly keeping him under a keen and angry w atch. The spirit of the violated forest strikes a swift and sometimes effectual blow for revenge. A yoke of oxoff ire straining at their load; a great branch seems, with conscious purpose, to reaoh down and seize the nearest ox by his horns, and the poor brute falls with his neck broken. A stout sapling is bent to the ground by a weight of Ice and snow; the thaw or a passing team releases it, and by the fierce recoil a horse's leg is fractured. A lumberman strays off into the woods. by himself, and is found days afterward, half eaten by bears and foxes. A solitary chopper drops his ax, and leans against a tree to rest or to dream of his sweetheart in the distant settlements, and a panther drops from the branches above and seriously wounds him. Yet the forest’s vengeance is seldom accomplished, and on the careless woodsman the threat of it produces uo permanent effect. His on ward march will not be stayed. His ax goes •very where. Dr. George F. Root, the composer of Rally Round the Flag, Boys, and a hundred other famous songs, celebrated the seventieth anniversary of his Mrith in Chicago Saturday. He wrote the famous song on the morning following Lincoln’s second call for troops. - A Legal Point—Witness—He lookjm straight in the eye— ■ Lawyer—There, sir, you've flatly contradicted your former statement. r — Witness—How so?

Indication* of Indiana Having Given n Heavy Democratic Majority, INCOMPLETE bBPOKTS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE OOCSjniL INDIANA. Indiana's election on tho 4th inst. was under the new Australian system, and the iaw everywhere gave complete satisfaction. Complete returns have been received from but few townships, but they indicate a steady Democratic gain. Fifty townships, eighteen Democratic and thirty-two Republican at the last election, givo Matthews 6,994 ; Trusler, 8 532, The same townships in 1888 gave Cleveland 8,115 and Harrison 11,133. Democratic loss, 1,131: Republican loss, 2,140: net Democratic gain, 1,0,19. McClellan, D., is probably elected in tho Ft. Wayne district; Clay county is probably Republican.

Tho Sentinel says: Judging from the data we now have the Democrats have carried tho State by a majority of at least 16,000; have elected a strong majority in both Houses of the Legislature, and have carried- probably eleven of the thirteen Congressional districts. The Journal says it will con cede nothing until fuller returns are received. Sixty townships in Indiana give Matthews 5,972 and Trusler 10,627. The same townships in IySSS gave Cleveland 10,222; Harrison, 13,1(57. Democratic, loss, 1,253; Republican loss, 2,510; net Democratic gain. 1,387. At one cf. the Jackson township precincts in Blackford county the members of the F. M. B. A. adopted bulldozing tactics. Members of both old parties were driven away from the. polls. Tue bulldozers threatened to hang several of those who attempted to vote. The F. M. B. A. has drawn from both parties there, but will hurt Republicans the worst. Owen, Rep., is probably elected in the' Tenth district.

The indications all point to the fact that the Slate is Democratic by a very heavy majority, with a Democratic Legislature in both branches. The Sentinel claims Marion county for The entire Democratic ticket by a majority of about 3,000. Republicans do not concede it. , . OHIO. Hamilton county gives tliq the Repub licau ticket a majority of over 8,000. The State is Republican by probably 15,000 majority.

Of the twenty Congressional districts in Illinois, the indication at 10:30 p. m. point, to the undoubted election of ten Republican and six Democratic Congressmen, with four districts of the State still in doubt. The returns thus far indicate the election of three Republican in Chicago and one Democrat, although tho Democrats still deny the election of Taylor in the First, and claim that Mason’s victory in the Third is not yet conclusive. Chairman Jones, of the Republican State Central Committee, claims that all of the Republican Congressmen in the State have been re-elected, and that in the Eighteenth (Morrison’s; district Lindley Republican, and Farmers’ Alliance, will be elected over Foreman, Dem., the present incumbent. He aiso claims the State Legislature on a joint haUct by a majority of 16. The Democratic committee here do not concede the defeat of their candidates Republicans probably elect their State

On July 19 last Henry Breen, of Ft. Wayne, then a brakeman on the Wabash railroad, while coupling cars at Cecil, 0., was caught between the steps of the caboose and a saw-log which extended over a flat car and his skull was fractured. For Weeks he hovered between life and death, but his strong constitution saved him and he was finally able to be out, though his skull was cracked in several places. It was also found that the oords of the left eye were paralyzed. This affliction grew worse, and two weeks ago Breen went to Springfield, 111., before the convention of Illinois surgeons, which was in annual session in that city. They pronounced his case aneurism of the eye, and the only case on record. One fracture of his skull just above the eye grew wider and there was danger of a blood vessel bursting, which would cause instant death. By holding the ear to the fracture of his skull one could distinctly hear the pulsations of the. brain. Breen was placed under the influence of opiates and an iron collar was placed around his-, neck, to which is attached a thumb-screw, which was pressed over the orbit to stop the rush of blood. The physicians pronounced his case hopeless. Breen still' walks the streets, however, and with his fine physique looks the picture of health. He has had innumerable Offers to place himself before medical colleges for examin ation and study of his remarkable case. It is believed that Breen is the only man alike who wears a collar made in a blackrnith shop. Patents weye'ailowed Indiana inventors Tuesday as follows: H. R. Alien, Indianapolis, operating chair; C.

ORIGINAL PACKAGES DEAD.

Judge Caldwell Says They Were Killed by the Act Lately Passed by Congress. The opinion of Judge Caldwell, of the U. S. Circuit Court, in the original package case of H. M. Vin Vliet, of lowa, was filed at Little Rock, Ark., on the 31st ult. It discusses all the questions raised and extends over more than fourteen large type written pages. The court holds that the act of Congress and the laws of the State are valid. The following are some of the*salient points of the opinion: “By ■ the act of Congress the right which the importer previously .enjoyed of selling liquor in the original package in the State where the transit ended is taken away,the act declaring that the liquor ‘shall upon its arrivat ifi ■ sUcßTiEff W "Territory' be subject to the operation and effect of the laws of such State’.’ ” After citing the authorities and the act of Congress, the opinion proceeds: “It will be observed that by the terms of the act the original package, ‘upon arrival' in the State, is put on tho same footing with liquors produced in the State. The original package, when it arrives within the State where tho transit terminates, is at once reduced to the rank of domestic liquor, 'enjoys no privileges not enjoyed by domsstic liquor, and is subject ta the operation and effect of the laws of such State fena .-ted in the exercise of itspo lice powers to the same extent and in the same manner as domestic liquor. l - Now, thero never was any question of the right to prohibit the 3 ale of liquor produced iu the State and the laws for this purpose were constitu fional. These laws were in full foi-ce at the date of the passage of the act of Congress, and that act having in legal effect abolished original packages on their ‘arrival’ within the State by placing them on the same footing with liquor produced within the State, they are as much amenable to tne State law as if they had never existed in the form of original packages.

ROOSEVELT CONTRIBUTES.

Theodore Boosevelt and Hugh Thompson, members of the Civil Servioa Commission, have each contributed SSO to the campaign funds of their respective parties. Mr. Roosevelt is a Republican and MrThompson a Democrat. In an interview Mr. Roosevelt said: “There is no reason why. under a Repnb lican administration, all the contributions should be made to the Republican campaign fund, and undor a Democratic administration they should all be to the Democratic fund. The clerks are as much at liberty to contribute to one party as another, and they are perfectly safe and free to make no contribution if they so prefer. Within the classified service the employes are under obligations, to no party. No one can foroe a government employe to contribute, nor, if he desires to bon tribute, compel him to contribute to this party rather than thkt. That is all there is in the question, except that no employe shall solicit, directly or Indirectly, from any other employe, and none shall give to or take from another employe.”

THE COUNTRY'S POPULATION.

; - f /*■. Official Statement and Comparisons with Former Census. The population of the United States on. June l, 1890, as shown by the first counted persons and families, exclusive of white persons in Indian Territory, Indians on reservations and Alaska, was 62,480,640 j These figures may be slightly changed byi later and more exact compilations, but such changes Will not be material. In 1880 the population was 50,155,783. The absolute increase of the population in the ten years intervening was 12,324,575, and the percentage of increase was $4.57. In 1870 the population was stated as 38,558,371. According to these figures the absolute increase in the decade between 1870 and 1880 was 11,617,412, and the percentage of increase was 30.08. Upon their face these figures show that the population has increased between 1880 and 1890 only 727,345 more than between 1870 and 1880, while the rate of increase has apparently diminished from 30.08 to 24.67 per cent. If these figures were derived from correct data they would be disappointing Such areduetionin the rate of increase iff the face of enormous immigration during the past ten years would argue a great diminution in the fecundity of the population or a correspondiug increase in its death rate.

NATURAL GAS AT PITTSBURG.

Manufacturers Supply Cut Off—A Boom for the Cool Dealers. The order of the Philadelphia Naturals Gas Company at Pittsburg withdrawing fuel from puddling furnaoes, which wentinto effect on the 29th, is a. hard blow to the iron manufacturers. It is estimated 1 that five hundred furnaces will undergo enforced idleness by the order until they can be prepaid for the use of coal. It is rumored that the gas supply may be again furnished, but the opinion expressed by the manufacturers is that unless they can secure their gas supply from other souroes * they must return to the use of coal perma neutly. Several manufacturers have already commenced to arrange their furnaces for the use of coal. The shortage of gas was general throughout Pittsburg an Allegheny to-day. A large proportion- of the people who use gas fires were compelled to burn wood or coal. In some parts of the city there was no gas supply. The mills and furnaces consume about twofifths of the gas furnished. When this supply is cut off from the mills the gas will be turned into the mains for domestic purposes, and, it is believed, will furnish a sufficient supply for all requirements. The coal operators are greatly pleased over the prospect that mill operators will return to the use of coal. The demand will be heavy, and a revival of business and in creased prices are expected.

The business of these three Anns alone amounts to about #150,000,000 per annum, and it is estimated that they, with oth. ers in the same and similar lines o! business who will be drawn there, will, within the next five years, gather at that point a population of 150,000 souls. The Calumet River runs through the heart of the tract and will furnish vast (lockage facilities in direct connection with Lake Michigan, which is one of the special advantages sought by the projectors of the enterprise, while at the same time the railroad facilities are perfect. The new town will have its own water supply at greatly reduced rates, and the plant will be re-» lie ved of a heavy burden of city taxation. In addition to these advantages, it is said that natural gas will be brought into the new town, and the use of this fuel wilt further oheapen the operating of the plant The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and wesee nothing but sand. 1 ! the angels come to visit us, and we only know them whan they are gone. —Georgt Elliot. i
