1,400.000 BALLOTS

Primed for tha Coming EleetSUl—Do(erlption of the Tickets. State Printing Clerk Stein is engaged In getting ready the wrappers for covering the three thousand bundles of ballots for the voters of Indiana. “It is a mistake to say that I will ex press the ballots. That is just what Ido not do,” said Mr. Stein;, “the county clerks come and get them, not earlier than sixteen days nor later than ten days before election.” Should some of the county clerks fall to come within the specified tlmo, a special sworn messenger will carry the ballots to them. Each bundle of ballots will he sealed* and a large label in yellow and black pasted upon it reading os follows: Do not break seal. Cut string here.” Ballots to the number of 1,400,00 hays been ordered. That will loave a surplus with the State printer adequate for emergencies. Tho ballots are printed on medium weight pink paper, twenty-nine inches long by ten inches wide. There are the four tickets on them, with places for thirty-four names each, in this order: Presidential elec tors-at-large in numerical order, Governor and other State candidates in the usual order. Tho ballots will be stamped with what is technically known as a “spoke-wheel stamp,” In purple luk, and this Is given ai good advice for evory voter to paste in his hat: “If you vote the straight ticket, stamp a corner of the square at the top of the ticket. But If you vote a mixed ticket stamp each name you vote for. Yon might as well throw your yote in White river at to make any mistake in your ticket,” Pretty table mats on which to set hot dishes may be made of chamois skin fastened to a stiff piece of pasteboard. Cut the skin round or oval and scallop or pink the edges. Cut a pasteboard the same shape, only enough smaller so that the scallops of the chamois skin will project and cover the pasteboard. Fasten the chamois skin to the pasteboard. It may be lettered or etched with indelible ink. We heard a woman say recently that it always flatters a man to call him Colonel. Many men who cannot be managed in any other way can be managed if you call them Colonel.

JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.

Short Sketeh at t(b Life—Names of Some of HiaFanupu Poems, fete, John Greenleat' Whittier aas born at Haverhill, Mass., on the banks of the Merrimac, Dec- 17,1807, and for eighteen years resided with his parents on the home farm, following the plow as soon as strength would permit, working during the winter seasons as a shoemaker. In 182& be entered a Quaker school and four years mt6r rcniovcu to iioston, ne became editor of the American Manufacturer, a protective tariff paper. The literary impulse in him must have been strong, for as early as his thirteenth year he was writing anonymous poetry for the poet's corner of a country paper. The publications were admired by the editor, W. L. Garrison, and possibly were indirectly influential in shading the anti-slavery bent of Whittier's mind, for m his contact with Garrison the crusade for freedom was first brought to his notice. In 1831 he embalmed his absorptions of and acquaintances with the social economy of New England in a volume of prose e.ntitled, “Legends of New England,” a series of sketches devoted to the Indian and colonial traditions and superstitions. A little later came his story in verse entitled “Moll Pitcher, the Witch of Nahant. ” Within a year or two following! he puWished his opinions on “The Justice and Expediency of Slavery, Considered With a View to Its Abolition.” The following year (1834) he was engaged in legislative matters, and in 1835 issued the poem “Meg Megonc,” the hero of which was chief of the Saco Indians in 16‘i7. Garrison was very fond of liis gifted disciple, and his earnest fervor and unwearied labors in the anti-slavery cause shwed how Whittier returned his affection.

" In 1838 Whittier reaped a part of his reward in anti-slavery work, when a Philadelphia mob sacked and burned the Freeman office, then owned aud run in behalf of antislavery ideas, and this experience was supplemented by the Boston and Concord anti-slavery riots. Shortly after the burning of his office he was elected secretary of the anti-slavery society. Of this society Whittier wrote to a friend in 1877: “A mere handful of us came together from New England, the Middle States and Ohio, mostly strangers to each other, without much personal consideration at home, and utterly unknown in the strange city of Philadelphia, where wo met, representing nothing but a few newly-formed anti-slavery associations, with the entire influences of church and state against us, and laid the foundation of a society which, under God, has moved the world.” In 1840 Whittier took up his abode in Amesbury, a quiet village near his birth place. There, in quiet and dignity and peace, he lived until the day of his death, although there were one or two calls elsewhere, and he spent a short six months in Lowell as the editor of the Middlesex Standard. In this seclusion he lived a'oue for his literary work, having retired from journalism and public life. The Whittier cottage is a plain, old-fashioned house, situatea on Friend street, about a mile from the Amesbury line. There is nothing about it to attract the attention of passers by. It has a simple yard in front, without ornamentation, save a few trees, two or three lilac bushes, and a statuary vase of flowers. His study is a cozy little room of middling dimensions, with a cheery open fire place, old fashioned brass andirons standing guard. Near a window the poet hud located his writing table, which was usually strewn with manuscript and writing materials, very rarely including books of reference of any kind ; a few chairs, some sintple pictures on the walls of anti-slavery acquaintances, with here and there u photograph of some literary or persoual friend, and book cases large and well filled.

In liis latter days, though quite active and hale, he did but little literary work. His mind was still active and keen, but bis eyes were weak, and the stiff fingers refused to hold the pen for protracted efforts. Mentally he was never an old man, and what was probably his last poem- a recent tribute to Holmes in the Atlantic —might have been written twenty years ago for any weakness it shows. «*r* ; All his life he lived as regularly as clockwork, and his habits were such as are believed by medical science to* conduce to perfect mental and physical health. Tall and slender, with a face beniirn and pleasant, his eyes were small but expressive. He invariably dressed in black, cut in the Quaker fashion. He loved to walk, and scorned vehicles of any sort. One peculiarity of the poet was his dislike for public gatherings, and after his attendance at* the first antislavcrv meeting and his subsequent appearance in the Massachusetts State Legislature, be was never known to attend a public assembly of any kind. He always received visitors kindly, but never would utter a word about his works. -Indeed, he thought very little of his poems, and often expressed surprise at their popularity.

“If I had any idea," he said of “Maud Muller,” “that the plaguey little thing would have been so liked 1 should have takeii more pains with it." Probably “Maud Muller," “Barbara Fretchie," “Cobbler Keegar's Vision," “The Ride of Floyd Ireson," with the innumerable little poems to fuith qpd freedom, are among the shorter works which have won him most popularity. The names and dates of his leading books and poems are as follows: “Mogg Meirone,' 1836; “Voices of Freedom," 1849; “Songs of Labor," 1853.“5n0w Bound,” 1862; “In War TimeT* 1863; “The Tent on the Beach," 1867; “Miriam," 1870; “Centennial Hymn,” 1876; “Poems of Nature,” 1875. and “St. Gregory's Rest and Other Poems," 1886.

IN A RUNAWAY ELEVATOR.

Nine Persons Inside, and the Thing Racing Up and Down the Shalt. Courier-Journal. Eight men and a boy had an exciting time in the Commerce building at noon yesterday. One of tfci ~ elevators got ont of order and threatened to go through the wwf. Thff eight men and the small bov were unfortunate enough to be passengers on it at that time. The excitement lasted but a few minutes, hardly over three, but the time of the nervous strain was variously computed by those on board at from one to four hours, ;■ 7 ; Just before noon two of the elevators stopped running, the nearest one to the front door alone remaining in operation. The elevators are worked by hydraulic power, and the force required to work them was thus thrown on one. It was an up trip that eight men crowded into the elevator. Two of- t-hers were Mr. Tom -Craig and Mr. Donalo Ross. The door was closed with a bang and the boy pulled the lever for the ascent. In a second the throttle, as it were, was wide open. The elevator seemed travel at the rate of sixty miles an hour, and appeared every second to'be getting on more steam every second. The elevator boy worked manfullyat the lever, and used every means to stop the “lift,” but the machine refused to take hold, and the wild career continued. Suddenly the cage stopped with a jolt, and the elevator started down at the killing pace it had been going upward. Gown two stories it dropped, and then suddenly began rising again. By this time all on board wished they were somewhere else. They looked wildly out on the polished floors, where safety was, and for the first time realized what a prison a runaway elevator is. Though the boy at the lever exhausted every resource of bis art.now resorting to skill and now to strength the movements of the elevator became more eccentric. It went up twenty feet and fell ten. The men thought they might have led better lives. It went up thirty feet and fell fifteen. The elevator boy thought of some mean things he had done. It went up twenty feet and fell ten. All resolved that if they got out alive they would walk straight and narrow paths the rest of their lives.

It went up fifteen feet and fell thirty, and then dashed with deadly speed toward the roof, and all the sins that the eight caged men and the one caged poy had. ifver done rushed before them like a host of devils. But it stopped just in time, and once more reversed brakes. It stopped with cruel jolts now and then, but always between the floors, leaving those on board still caged in by wire walls. Time and again it seemed certain it would halt at one of the floors. *Eut it did not, and hope died again. Finally after what seemed an eter. nity of torture, the elevator did stop two feet below one of the doors. Mr. Craig was closest to the exit, and hastily throwing back the door be leaped upward and out. As he did so the machine shot upward, and it was only by a hairs breadth that he caped being crushed and most certainly killed. After his escape the elevator continued to perform for a minute, and then once more became obedient. The seven men and boys got out as quickly as possible. All were very thankful. The elevator was examined and pronounced to be in good working order. The elevator boy got on board and tried it for a floor or iwo, and returning pronounced everything all right. The elevator never did this before.

Moss Covered Trees.

St. Louis Globe Democrat. “Few things possess greater interest to Northern people making the r first pilgrimage through the South than the moss covered trees of the lowlands near the Gulf coast," said H. C. Henry, at the Laclede. “ In the moist warm air of the coast country the moss takes possession of tho trees, and from every banner trails down the line a mighty banner of green silk, giving to the forest a picturesque beauty, but one suggestive of cemeteries and elegies. In the,winter when the green of the moss has faded into a dirty gray and been torn and whipped by tne winds until it resembles the ragged locks of some ancient Sycorax, the effect is particularly uncanny. Add to a leaden sky, a drizzling rain and here and there a pool of slackwater half hidden by impenetrable canebrakes, and you get a scene of dreary desolation that would have made even the witches of Macbeth want wings with which to get out of the country. There Is to-day enough moss' clinging to the trees on the Gulf coast to furnish every man, woman and child in Europe and America with a mattress. " ,
