fata th<»t-<iM>oing and more legislation, says tae~ Globe-Democrat, is "What the country would like to see in the halls of Congress. Bom*readers have observed the use “cloture” in some newspapers, while ■others uss ' ‘closure. ” The meaning of the two words is the same. The first ds French, the latter English. A new weapon has been added to the arsenal of Irish debate. A gentleman addressed a large'crowd near Dublin a few days ago, and when he went home that night he found that his opponents had answered his arguments by skinning his cow alive. Two rival steamers reached San Francisco after a lively race across the Pacific Ocean from Sydney. Australia. The time between tho two ports war • twenty-four days for the winner and a •day more for its beaten rival. The racers are the property of two com e peting companies, and it is probab.y that better time will be made hereafter by the vessels of both of them, through improvements in their ma chinery. A Philadelphia girl has been seized with lockjaw while chewing gum; a Lancaster girl has been lying at death’s door because she swallowed a piece of oyster shell which inadvertently remained in a church fair stew, and played hobs with her larnyx; a Reading girl was taken with hysterics at a theatrical performance, and any sensible physician will tell you that caramels ruin the teeth. If thissor; of thing keeps on the expenses of courtship will be reduced to zero and almost any young man can afford to have a girl.

IT does not appear that the stability •f the new Government of Brazil is in any way menaced by the recent action of the Constituent Assembly'. That body is engaged in revising the constitution that was drawn up by tae provisional Government for its own guidance after the proclamation of the Republic, and there need bo no surprise over the fact that the revision is likely to interfere in some ways with the policy of the authorities. In the formation of a Constitution for Brazil the Assembly has full power, and is responsible only to the electors. By censuring the provisional Government for certain deeds that had been left unexplained it brought about a ministerial crisis, but here again it acted within its authority, and this fact has been recognized by the Ministry itself, as well as by the Provisional President Deodoro de Fonseca. In truth, there has as yet been no ground for doubting that peace will be maintained in Bradl until the work of establishing its po litical institutions is completed. ..

There are people who sign every petition presented to them and would just as soon sign a petition asking the governor to hang an innocent man as to ask for the pardon of one who ought to be hanged. But those who take the initiative in securing the pardon of capital criminals are not of this sort. They are relatives and persona friends of the criminal, who can be excused on these grounds, but should have little influence, or they are per. sons who are actuated by maudlin sympathy for the criminal and are nearly as dangerous to the peace and welfare of the community as the criminals themselves. This may seem like a harsh judgment upon the softhearted people who cannot bear the thought that any one should suffer, eren for being bad. But it is not too AJ.sh. The sympathy of these people is entirely misplaced. It is the vic--tims of these murderers and those dependent on them that deserve th e .sympathy—not the murderers.

Senator Shoup’s Genial Ways.

.Atlanta Journal. The new Idaho Senator, Shoup, is getting himself talked about because of his wild and wooly expressions. He approached Morton during the night eesaion last <eek. in one of the cloak roomsand, slapping the Vice-Presi-dent on the back, said: “Mr. Vice-President, shako; your Tolling awhile ago was dead game.” Late on he addressed Hoar as follows: “Old ncan. that was a dandy speech you made for the bill, and will stand by you untill hell freezes over.” One great point in favor of artifically hatched chickens is that they rarely have a bug or insect upon them. This alone helps to reduce the loss by death and aids In building them up strong and healthy. Too often the nest in which chickens are hatched is so foul with parasites that the chicks have but little chance to gat a start in Jheworld ;

Senate not in session on the 7th. The House devoted the day to the discussion of bills. Several were advanced on the callendar. The bill to protect employe* of railroads was discussed at great length, and the report of the committee recommending its passage was adopted. LEGSILATIVE NOTES. A law similar in its provisions to Mr. Claypool’s bill passed the House Tuesday I requiring the purchase of native live stock ‘ for food consumption at reformatory, char* table and benevo lent institutions, has . been in operation in Ohio for several years. I and the court* have held it constitutional, ' In a few word* urging the passage of his bill Mr. Claypool said it was about the only measure of the sort for the protection *f f the farmer* which was constitutional, j Senator Moore’s gravel-road bill, passed by the Senate Tuesday, is believed to be I one of the best measures yet enacted on 1 that subject. It makes a board of county commissioners turnpike directors; provides for the division of the free gravel* road system of each county into three divisions, and places orrexttrectorincharge of each. The board is authorized to meet four time* a year; to make an itemized report to the auditor once each year; to establish rules and regulations for the government of travel and hauling; to appoint superintendents of construction and : repair, and a secretary to prepare the annual report mentioned. I Senator Ewing’s arson bill, passed Wednesday, considerably broadens the provisions defining that offense. Anyone who attempts to burn, as well as he who burns, any house, bridge, craft, fence, rick, stack, etc.; also, any person who burns or attempts to burn his own property for the purpose of defrauding any iusuranee company is held to be guilty of arson,and upon conviction shall be imprisoned not les* than two nor more than twenty-os* years, and may be fined In double th* smeont of th* property destroyed.

The Delaware County Commissioners, suddenly seized with economy, refuse to pay bills for washing bed clothes of prisoner* in th* county j ail. There are thirty-two inmates in the Montgomery county orphans’ home, and during the past year >2,269,82 was expended in caring forthe homeless waifs. Two years bgo the site of Shipshewana was part of two Tarins. To-day there is a beautiful little villiage of five hundred inhabitant*. and among the buildings is an opera house. Timber is frequently found buried to the depth of thirty feet in what is known as th* Hawpatch Valley, in Bartholomew county, and many resident* believed there is a submerged forest underneath. Mrs. Jack Huffman and family, of Greencastle, were dangerously poisoned by eating head cheese which had been purchased of a farmer. The bad condition of he cheese is attributed to fermentation. Many of the farmers of Montgomery county have entered into the chickenraising business on a large scale, and are selling from 600 to 1.000 chickens every year. They say that it pays them better than raising cattle for the market. Matt Patterson, of Jeffersonville, re cently brought suit against the Louisville Courier-Journal, because that paper stated he had been defeated as a candidate for the city council by a cow. The jury returned for defendant, the trial being had this week. 1 Cleveland township, Elkhart county, has no constable or peace justice within its borders, neither can the oldest inhabitans remember when such functionaries existed there. Furthermore, it is not recalled tbata law-suit was ever held in the town ship. Attendant Wood, of the eastern insane asylum, found guilty of the murder of patient Blount, will be removed to the prison south during the coming week to enter upon his twenty-one year sentence. He per sists that he is not guilty, and his counsel is preparing for an appeal to the Supreme Court. Attorney General Smith will begin suit against the Terre Haute & Indianapolis railroad company to secure about >4,000,000 due the State it is claimed under the company’s original charter.

The saddle-tree makers of Madison are joining with their employers in sending a protest to the Legislature against the labor of 200 convicts in the prison south, which is utilized in the same industry. Formerly there were sixteen shops a Madison, employing 200 men, but now there are only six shops and sixty employes. Indiana inventors were issued patents Tuesday as follows: J. A. Becher, Mishawaka, drill chuck; J. J. Becker, Fort Wayne, clothes drier; J. B. Cleveland, Indianapolis, fence; A. G. Larkin, Indianapolis, changeable sign; J. H. Millen, Bloomington, filter; A. Moffatt, Indianapolis, composition of matter; F. A. Steph, ens, Fremont, winker fork. Edith Shock, of Walcottville, left home in male clothing, determined to make her way to her half-brother, who is located on the Pacific slope, but she got no further than Chicago before she was arrested and sent to a house of detention. She explains that she had no money and imagined she could make her way easier in tha disguise than in her own garments!) Wilhelm Vaddie, an eccentric character or naturalist, residing near Versailles,wh. spends much of his time searching in the woods, among the hills, deep gullies and ravines, found a stone about two and a half inches wide and four inches long that has a number of diamond shaped points on the surface. A Cincinnati jeweler has offered Mr. Vaddie >2,000 for his treasure Christian Crow, a barber and pedestrian of Fort Wayne, is credited with having engaged to walk the North American continent for a purse of >IO,OOO offered by a New York man. The walk will begin a 1 Aspinwall and his course will lie through Central America, Mexico, the United States, British America and Alaska, ends ing at Cape Prince of Wales, on Behring straits. The wave of reform has struck Shelby* ville with a vim. Tuesday night the City Council pass an ordinance requiring saloon keepers to remove all screens and other obstructions so as to give a clear view of the interior after 11 p. m.,a* well as on Sundays, election day* and holidays, and imposing a penalty upon persons entering a saloon during hours when liquor* are forbidden to be sold. While Samuel Campbell, of Monroe City was on the missing list, and before he had been traced to Aberdeen, Kan., where he now is, hundreds of hi* friends searched the swamps and dragged White river in Knox county, expecting to find his murdered body, and they also threatened to lynch several shanty boatmen, more par* ticuliariy a half breed Indian fisherman, if he did not disclose where his body was hidden. Representatives of Unifin City have laid before the Ohio General Assembly a claim that the western boundary of Ohio rightfully includes nearly twelve mile* of Indiana territory, and a joint resolution has been introduced looking to an investigation. A number of Indiana town* are ; vitally interested in this matter, becausel if the boundary is re-established Rich' j mond will furnish Preble county, 0., a 1 courthouse without cost, and Ohio is likely to gain an insane asylum equally a* free. I James Hagar, a wsll-to-do teamster of

Washington, haring* good heme, a good team, and as prosperous and happy as the general ran of mankind, the other day suddenly concluded he would work no moreSo ne transferred his possessions to his wife, save the clothing whichhe ware,and applied for permanent quarters in the Soldiers’ Home at Dayton. 0., where he is nowhoused. His wife and daughter continue to occupy the home which he abandoned, and his pension will keep them from want. Thomas Uttley, colored, who participated in the riot at Fairmount in Novem - ber last, growing out of Democratic jubila' tion over the election, has been Drought to trial at Marion. During the melee Jesse C. Paul was killed, James Berry was beaten until unconscious, Wm. Corn was shot through the leg, Jerry Frazier was shot in the thigh and the defendant in the back. Numerous arrests grew out of this riot which was the bloodiest in the history of Fairmount. Public sentiment inclines to the belief that Uttley did no shooting. While Lon Ulrick, a Tipton machinist, was working on the inside of a large boiler he narrowly escaped a most frightful death A jet of natnral ga shad been turned into the boiler for lighting purposes, and when the machines! had finished his work he ins structed one of his helpers to turn the gas off. This assistant turned the key the wrong way and a large volume of gas shot into the boiler, and before the mistake was discovered Ulrick was severely burned about the body, his clothes being nearly consumed. Warden J. B. Patten, of the prison south, feels indignant toward the members of the Legislature who secured the passage of the law prohibiting the purchase of any but native cattle for State institutions. While it is in favor of the farmer it is against the State. In southern Indiana, such a law might result in a Kentucky boycott and necessitate an appropriation for slaughterhouses by the Legislature. H e thinks the law unconstitutional. At present the prison gets its meat supply from Louisville, taking what is left of a good beef after the choice cut* are sold, and pay ing about four or five cents a pound. This can not bo done under the new law. The little station of Nebraska, on the O. & M. railway below Lawrenceburg, was the scene of a startling incident on Sunday evening. During church service fire was discovered in Mrs. Allen’s stoie near by, and the front doors were battered in and the people undertook to save the stock. Suddenly there was a tremendous explosion caused by ten barrels of oil letting go. The burning oil was shot into the air and was sent flying in sheets in every direction, accelerated by the force of 250 pounds of gunpowder, which also let go at the same time. The entire building was ruined, and fifty people were more or less bruised by flying fragments but none of them were killed. The burning oil communicated to the home of Mrs. Elliott, close at hand, and it was also destroyed. When the explosion took place in the store the stock of muslins, calicoes, dress goods, with hats, caps, boots and shoes and groceries were hurled into mid air, dropping on the people as they fled in affright. Over seven thousand dollars' worth of goods and groceries were scattered to the four winds, and the entire loss, including the Elliott home, aggregated >12,600.

CANADIANS AND RECIPROCITY.

Parliament Dissolved and a New Election Ordered to Test the People’s Feeling*. The Toronto Empire, chief organ of the Dominion government, announces this morning that, acting on the advice of his ministers, hi* Excellency, the Governorgeneral, has been pleased to dissolve the House of Commons and issue writs for a new Parliament. The nominations will take place on Thursday, Feb. 26, and the polling on Thursday, March 5. As the reasons have induced the govern, ment to appeal to the country at this time the Empire gives the following: “It is understood that the Dominion government has, througb. her .Majesty’s government, made certain proposals te the United States for negotiations looking to the extension of our commerce with that country. These proposals have been submitted to the President for his consideration, and the Canadian government is of the opinion that if these negotiations are to result in a treaty which must be ratified by Parliament, it is evident that the government should be able to deal with a Parliament fresh from the people rather than with a moribund house. It is understood that Canada will send a delegation to Washington after March 4, the date on which the life of the present Congress expires, for the purpose of discussing informally the questions of the extension and development of trade between the United States and Canada, and tho settlement us all questions of difference between the two countries. This delegation will visit the United States, it is said, as the result of friendly suggestions from Washington.

Kursing Cases of Typhoid.

First of all, after the wise physician, we should say procure a well trained nurse. Some of our physicians will not take a case of this fever without one. But if one cannot be employed, then put in practice the best rules of good nursing by keeping the patient quiet, entirely free from company, excitement, noise and disturbing influences of all Kinds, and exempt also from all exertion, even to lifting the head or turning the body alone. Give no food except a glass of milk every two or three hours, and lower the temperature as it rises by sponge baths under the blanket, consisting generally of alcohol and water. There must be no wearying nor flagging in the enforcement of these rules until the patient has been normal all day for a week, and even then groat caution must be used lest too groat bodily exertion biing on fatal results. When it is better and more generally Understood that typhoid fever is principally and primarily a condition oi ulceration of the thin tissues of the intestines, and that any but the softest foods or the gentlest movements of the body may produce perforation, which is sure death, or how easily other dangerous results, such as hemorrhages or peri ton itiet, may be induced, physicians will And their patients and those in charge of them more strictly obedient to their injunctions; and 1b our homes, as in the hospitals, it wi 11 be the rare exception where the sufferer does not recover.—Lxcbanga.
