“With clouds Hecovereth the light, and commandeth it not to shine by the clouds that cometh betwixt," The world’s oats crop for 1894 is estimated to be at least 10 per cent. larger than in any previous year. For the week ending Dec. 1 the re-ceipts-at New York exceeded those of any week in the last decade. Lower prices are predicted. Mrs. Cleveland is said to bo wearied of society and would gladly stay at home with her husband and babies if custom would permit. This is certainly not to be wondered at. High official society, balls and late hours, flunkeys and coarser politicians, and all the crushing, grasping, greedy herd of self-seeking people who throng the Presidential levees, are certainly quite enough to make any sensible person exclaim: ‘‘Vanity of vanities.” Austria, and all tributary countries and provinces, is said to be the only country in the world that*“taxes the interchange of ideas.” All persons receiving newspapers must pay one cent for each copy received, though all the postage may have been prepaid. The one cent is a tax in addition to the postage. The “unfettered press” we read about is an unknown institution in the unfortunate empire ruled by Hapsburg’s benighted princes. The International Conference of the Epworth League for 1895, will be he’d at Chattanooga, Tenn., June 27, 28, 29, 30. The great scenic and historic attractions of this booming Southern city, as weli as superior hotel and railroad facilities, influenced the general committee in making the selection. An atteridance of 15,000 is confidently anticipated. One great open air meeting will bo held on Lookout Mountain. The League now numbers 1,000,000 members in the United States. School booksare now considered a prolific source of infection for many diseases peculiar to children, and with good reason. The Boston Board of Health, in providing for the disinfection of a school room that was recently closed because of the diphtheria epidemic, ordered all books that had been used in the room to be burned. The walls, desks, chairs, j door knobs, slates and pencils, and : every exposed surface, were washed with a solution of corrosive sublimate. nra——BtfCTM■—n—in u u

A new electrical transmitter is said to have been accidentally discovered by a Buffalo electrician which vocalizes a telegraph message. The operator will hear the human voice instead of the ordinary clicking. A flying telephone cable has also recently been perfected by Gen. Greeley for army corps service, By its use communication may be at once established between points a half-mile or more distant without the usual insulation. The possibilities of electrical development do not appear to have been exhausted. Louisville as a pork packing center has fallen into the “sere and yellow leaf.” Fifty years ago there were eight firms extensively engaged in the business, and their operations required large sums of money. In the winter of 1853 405,000 head were killed in the cities about the Great Falls of the Ohio, and the trade of the merchants engaged in the traffic extended all over the South. There are now but three firms engaged in the business and ■the aggregate output cuts no figure, comparatively, in the enormous total of commercial transactions at the Gateway to Dixie Land. Some time ago enterprising thieves stole a two-story house at Chicago and expressed regret at being unable to carry off the lot Their success appears to have inspired their brethren at Indianapolis with jealousy, but tfyeir emulative efforts bo far have been quite feeble. The best they have been able to accomplish in this direction was to carry iff an assortment of freshly planted fruit trees. The robbery was reported to the police, who will try to recover the orchard at odd spells when they can spare the time not already occupiedjn carrying out the Superintendent's vigorous anti-sa-loon policy. The Big Four railway has bought a tract of land at Benton Harbor which will be improved with a ship canal, and a complete terminal'system will be arranged for the Michigan division at that point. This great railway is constantly reaching •at after desirable property. Its

freight yards and depot at Indian, apolis are perhaps the most comp let< in the United States; and must be seen to be properly appreciated. A brief description will convey no adequate idea of their extent and many conveniences for the handling of their immense freight traffic at that central point. John Burns, M, P., now traveling in the United States, appears to have some very peculiar ideas. He will not address an audience that has paid admission fees to hear him. Mr. Burns is an engineer and was receiving sls per week when British trades unions wanted his services, and proposed paying a handsome salary for them. Mr. Burns refused !to accept any advance and his leadi ership has only cost the unions sls ' per week since he became their advocate. This information, if true, is quite refreshing. Such a course adds immensely to the influence of a labor advocate, and is in striking contrast to the methods of many of our American agitators who are known to bf “in it for the stuff.” “Wimmin is rum critters,” sale Sam Weller on a celebrated occasion, but Sam had never -heard of Mrs, ! Kellar, wife of the magician, wher he made the astute observation. : Mrs. K., according to newspaper reports, is certainly the “rummiest” o her sex. At Indianapolis she is al- ■ leged to have d wel t too lon g with a “floin bole,” which resulted in a i case of plain drunk. The Professor ■ endeavored to reason with his erring ! spouse in a drug store, where the lady was purchasing a fresh supply of animation, when the gentle dame laid him out with a soda glass holder on the first round. At last accounts. “Betsy and I were out.” and the performances of Kellar’s aggregation : were being sadly interfered with on account of the absence of the aforesaid energetic Amazon. Queen Victoria may be a very nice old grandmother, but if the death of Sir John Thompson, the Canadian Premier, was caused by her obstinate adherence to established court customs, as has been reported, the world will be very glad to hear that she has resolved to devote the remainder of her valuable existence to her maternal duties. The good Queen is said to insist that courtiers, when in her presence, fshall remain standing, no matter how long the audience may continue. She site in dignity on her throne, while matters of state are discussed by statesmen, who must stand in a respectful posture —often for hours. Mr. Gladstone, of late years, has been graciously permitted to sit down, because of his advanced age. The audience granted to the Privy Council, at Windsor, at which Sir John Thompson attended, lasted one hour and twenty-five minutes. Immediately on his release from the chamber, he staggered to a chair, immediately became sick and died in seven minutes. There is little doubt that Sir John’s life was sacrificed by this rigid adherence to established royal forms.

PEOPLE.

By r his will the late Wm. T. Walters directs that his valuable art collection be kept intact as the prop- ‘ erty of one of his two children who cares to take it at an agreed valua- : tion. I Although Jules Verne’s works have earned untold fortunes for his publishers,they have brought to the novelist only $5,000 a year on an average. Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst has a double in the House of Representatives in the person of the new i Alabama member, Mr. Harrison, 1 elected to fill out the term of Gov. Oates. Mr. Harrison bears a striking resemblance to the New York reformer, which is hightened by his gold rimmed glasses. The likeness is so noticeable as to be the cause of i general comment. Mr. Stead, ringing the changes upon his famous title, has been talking about what would be expected of Women if Christ came to London. Among the responsibilities which be thinks should devolve upon women are the guardianship of the aged, the children, the unemployed and the deserted mothers, the amusement of children, and the relieving of the monotonous lives of the bedridden. But he thoughtlessly neglects to lengthen the days or increase the strength of the workers. Lawrence Irving, the second son of the actor, will probab'y make authorship his profession. He has IVvolume of prose in preparation, and is also about to publish “Godefroi and Yolande,” a mediaeval play, for which the fantastic Aubrey Beardsley has made three '(lustrations. There arc about half a dozen characters in this piece, and it deals with the love of “a master clerk”, for tbi heroine, in whose»eastle he is a sort of secretary. Mr. Lawrence Irving is now twenty'-two years old, and was intended for the British diplomatic service. He las been sta tioned in Paris and in Russia, being three years at St. Petersburg.

ANCIENT DELHI.

Its Past G-lory and Present Attractions. Wonders of Indian Architecture—Deserted City of Amber-Dr. Tulmaje'i Sermon for the PreM. Continuing his series of round the world sermons through the press, Rev. Dr. Talmage, last Sunday, chose for his subject An Ind ia, ” the text being- A naos iii, 10, “Who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.” Before the first historian impressed his first word in clay or cut his first word on marble or wrote his flr»t word on papyrus Delhi stood in India, a contemporary of Babylon and Nineveh. We know that Delhi existed longer before Christ’s time than we live after His = time. Delhi is built of the ruins of seven cities, which ruins cover forty miles with wrecked temples, broken fortresses, split tombs, tumble down palaces and the debris of centuries. There are a hundred things you ought to see in this citv of Delhi, but three things you must see. The first thing I wanted to see was the Cashmere gate, for that was the point at which the most wonderful deed of.daring which the World has. ever seen was done. That was the turning point of the mutiny of 1857. The city of Delhi has a crenulated wall on three sides—a wall five and a half miles long—and the fourth side of the city is defended by the River Jumna. In addition to these two defenses of wall and water there were 40,000 sepoys all armed. Twelve hundred British soldiers were to take that city. Nicholson, the immortal general, commanded them, and you must visit his grave before you leave Delhi. He fell leading his troops. He commanded them even after being mortally wounded. You will read this inscription on his tomb: “John Nicholson, who led the assault of Delhi, but fell in the hour of victory mortally wounded and died 23 September, 1857, aged thirty-five years.” With what guns and men General Nicholson could muster he had laid siege to this walled city filled with devils. What fearful odds! Twelve hundred British troops uncovered by any military works to take a city surrounded by firm and high mason* TV, on the top of which were 114 guns and defended by 40,000 foaming sepoys. A larger percentage of troops fell there than in any great battle I happen to know of. The Crimean percentage of the fallen was 17-48, but the percentage of Delhi was 37.9. This city has ten gates but the most famous is the one before which we now stand, and it is called Cashmere gate. Write the words in red ink, because of the carnage. Write them in letters of light, for the illustrious deeds. W rite Them in letters of black, for the bereft and the dead. Will the wotld ever forget i that Cashmere gate? Lieut's. Salkeld and Home and Sergts. Burgess, Carmichael and Smith offered to take bags of powder to the foot of that gate and,set them on fire, blowing open the gate, although they must die in doing it. There they go just after sunrise, each one carrying asackeontaining twenty-four pounds of powder and doing this under the fire of the enemy Lieut. Home was j the first to jump into the ditch,

which still remains before the gate. I As they go one by one falls under the shot and shell. J* One of the mortally wounded as he falls hands his sack of powder and a box of luci- . fer matches to another, telling him j to fire the sack, when with an explosion that shook the earth for twenty miles around, part of the Cashmere gate was blown into fragments, and the bodies of some of these heroes were so scattered they were never gathered for funeral or grave or mpnument. The British army rushed in through the broken gate, and although six days of bard lighting wgre necessary before the city was in cbmnlete possession, the crisis was past. The Cashmere gate opoti, the capture of Delhi and all it contained of palaces and mosques find treasures was possible. Another thing you must see if you go to Delhi, though you leave many things unseen, is the palace of the moguls. It is an inclosure 1,000 yards by 500. You enter through a vaulted hall nearly 400 feet long. Floors of Florentine mosaicand walls once emeralded and sapphired and carbuncled and diamonded. I said to the guide. “Show us where once stood the peacock throne.’’ “Here it* was,” he responded All the thrones of the earth put together would not equal that for costiless and brilliance. It had steps of silver, and the seat and arms were of solid gold. It cost about slsQ4>Oo,’ 009. It stodd between two peacocks, the feathersjind plumes of which, were fashioned out of colored stones. Above the throne was a life size parrot cut out of one emerald. Above all was a canopy resting on twelve columns of the canopy fringed with pearls. Seated here, the emperor on public occasions, wore a crown containing among other things the Kohinoqr diamond, and the entire blaze of coronet cost $lO,350,000. But the peacocks that stood beside the throne have flown away, | taking all the display with them, I and those white marble floors were 1 reddened with slaughter, and those bathrooms ran with blood, and that

i Eden has had its flowers wither and ! its ! The third thing you must see 1 or never admit that you have been 1 in India is the mosque called Jumma j Musud. It is the grandest mosque I ever saw except St. Sophia at Constantinople, but it surpasses , that in some respects, for St. , Sophia was originally a Christian i church and changed into a .t£osque,_ i while this of Delhi was originally ■ built for the Moslems. The erection of this building required 5,000 laborers for six years —It is on a plateau of rock, has four towers rising far into the heavens, three great wateways inviting the world to i come in and honor the memory of the prophet of many wives, fifteen domes, with spires gold tipped and six minarets. What a 1 built up immensity of white marble 1 and red sandstone! We descended 1 the forty marble steps by which we ’ ascended and took another look at this wonder of the world. As I . thought what a brain the architect > tnust have had who first built that I mosque in his own imagination, and . as I thought what an opulent ruler I that must have been who gave the order for such vastness and symmetry, I was reminded of that which perfectly explained all. The architect who planned this was the same ■ man who planned the Taj—namely, j Austin de Bordeau—and the King who ordered the mosque constructed was the King who ordered the. Taj—namely, Shah Jehan. As this grand mogul ordered built the most splendid palace for the dead when he built the Taj at Agra, he here ordered built the most splendid palace of worship for the living at Delhi. Two /Hundred and eighty years ago Aus- ■ tin de Bordeau and Shah Jehan quit this life, but their work lives and , bids fair to stand until the continents crack open and hemispheres go down and this planet showers i other worlds with its ashes. i As that night we took the railroad | train from the Delhi station and 1 rolled out through thecity now living 1 i oyer the vaster cities buried under this ancient capital, cities under ; cities, and our traveling servant had ■ unrolled our bed, which consisted of ■ a rug and two blankets and a pil- I j low r and as we were worn out with i the sightseeing of the day and were roughly tossed on that uneven Indian ; railway. I soon fell into a troubled sleep, in which I saw and heard in a I confused way the scenes and sounds I of the mutiny of 1857 which at Delhi ■ we had been recounting, and now the rattle.of the train seemed to turn into the rattle of musketry, and now the light at the top of the car deluded me with the idea of a burning* city, and then the loud thump of the railroad brake was in dream mistaken for a booming battery, and the voices at the different stations made me think I heard the loud cheer of the British at the taking of the Cashmere gate, and as we rolled over bridges the. battles before Delhi seemed going on, and as we went through dark tunnels I seemed to see the tomb of Humayun in which the king of Delhi was hidden, and in my dreams I saw Lieutenant Renny of the artillery throwing shells which were handed him, their fuses burning, and Campbell and Reid and Hope Grant covered with blood, and Nicholson falling while rallying on the wall his wavering troops. But the morning began to look through the window of our jolting rail car, and the sunlight poured in on my pillow, and in my dreams I saw the bright colors of the English flag hoisted over Delhi, where the j green banner of the Moslem ha’d ' waved, and the voices of the wounded I and dying seemed to be exchanged for the voices that welcomed soldiers home again. And as the morning light got brighter and brighter, and in my dream I mistook the bells at a station for a church bell hanging in a minaret where a Mohammedan priest had mumbled his call to prayer, I seemed to hear a chant, whether by human or angelic vqjce.s in my dream I could not tell, but it was a chant about “peace and good will to man.” Halt here at what you have never seen before —a depopulated city, the city of Amber, India. The strange fact is that a ruler abandoned his palace at Amber and . moved to Jaipur, and all the inhabitants of the city followed. Except | here and there a house in Amber oc- ! cupied by a hermit, the city is as silent a population as Pompeii or Herculnaeum. But those cities were emptied by volcanic disaster, while this city of Amber was vacated because Prince Joy Singh was told by I a Hindoo priest that no city should I be inhabited more than 1,000 years, 1 and so the ruler 170 years ago, moved out himself, and all his people moved with him. You pass through the awfully quiet streets, all the feet that trod them in the days of their activity having gone on the long journey, and the voices of business and gayety that sounded amid these abodes having long ago uttered their last syllable. You pass by a lake covering 500 acres where the rajahs used to sail in their pleasure boats, but alligators now have full possession, and you come to the abandoned palace, which igJtn enchantment. No more picturesque place was ever chosen for the residence of a monarch. The fortress above looks down upon this palace, and the palace looks down upon a lake. This monarchist abode may have had attractions when it was the home of royalty; which have vanished, but antiquity and the silence of many years and opportunity to tread where once you would not have been permitted to tread may bo an addition quite equal to the subtraction. But what a solemn and stupendous

thing is an abandoned city! While many of the people of earth have ret roof for their heads, here is a whoio city of roofs rejected. The sand c* the desert was sufficient "excuse fo.i the disappearance of Heliopolis, and the waters of the Mediterranean sea for the engulfment of Tyre, and the lava of Mount Vesuvius for the obliteration of Herculaneum, but for the sake of nothing but a superstitious whim the city of Amber is abandoned forever. Oh wonderons India! The city of Amber is only one of the marvels which compel the uplifted hand of surprise from the day you enterlnia until you leave it. Its flora is so flamboyant, its fauna so monstrous and savage, its ruins so suggestive, its idolatry so horrible, its degradation so sickening, its mineralogy so brilliant, its splendors so uplifting, its architecture so old, so grand, so educational,so multipotent that India wjll not be fully comprehended until science has made its last experiment, and exploration has ended its last journey, and the library of the world’s literature has closed its last door, and Christianity has made its last achievement, and the clock of time has struck its last hour.

ANOTHER FINANCIAL SCHEME.

Kcpr.sentaiive Culberson's Plan For Monetary Relief. Washington Special Dec. 22. The Democratic caucus having decided to practically abandon the financial scheme of Secretary Carlisle, Mr. Springer, Dec. 21, introduced a number of. amendments, which will be acted upon in the regular course of House business. Mr. Carlisle’s plan being thus disposed of, new suggestions are constantly being made. The most popular and the simplest comes' from Congressman Culberson, of Texas. Perhaps its simplicity is what recommends it so strongly to members. It is generally admitted that something mustbe done to put a stop to the drain of gold and the repeated issues o! bonds. Mr. Culberson addresses himself wholly top remedy for this gold and bond situation. He does not propose to undertake, in this short session, a radical reconstruction of the currency system of the country. The thing to do, in the Texas man's opinion, is simply to got rid of the legal tenders and Treasury notes winch are being used over and over to draw gold out of the Treasury. His plan is to issue 2 per cent bonds to the amount of these legal tender and Treasury notes, about $500,000,000. These bonds will be made available for bank notes to their par value. The legal tenders and Treasury notes will be withdrawn. Their place will be taken by the bank notes. There will be no diminution of the volume of currency. The. means of pulling gold from the treasury will be removed. The interest bearing debt will be increased only $500,000,000, and that at a very low rate of interest. The Government will be delivered out of the power of the gold seekers. Mr. Culberson does not claim that his plan is a panacea for all of the ills of the money system, but he does think it meets the pres - ent difficulty. Many other congressmen agree with him. It looks very much as if after the holidays Congress will conclude that some such plan as this is about all that ought to be attempted at the present time.

THE OUTLAWS’ CHRISTMAS.

How the Bandits of Indian Territory Amused Themselve-:. Little Rock, Ark., Special, Dec. 27, Travelers reaching Little Rock from the Indian Territory tell a thrilling tale of experience Christmas day in that land of outlawry. Capt. B. B. Bouldin, a well-known revenue agent, camo through from Kansas City, and encountered such an unenviable experience that he will not soon forget the manner in which he spent Christmas day in 1894. The passengers on the Kansas & Arkansas Valley passenger train that day were entertained in a manner they might have read about but had never before experienced. One-half the Territory seemed to be frenzied with drink. At every station where the train stopped drunken desperadoes armed to the teeth got on board and punctuated their yells with rifle and pistol shots. The trainmen were, of course, powerless, being completely at the mercy of the desperadoes, who value human life, as light as a dog’s, and who would re; sent the slightest objection to their revelry. The outlaws shot their pistols from the car windows and from the platforms, and gave emphasis to their revelry by protracted yells. Thoroughly cowed by the numerical strength and bloodthirsty appearance of the revelers, the passengers kept themselves under cover, heads down in their seats, fearful every moment of a flying bullet. A tall, lank, cadaverous • looking fellow sauntered up to Captain Bouldin and announced in stentorian tones that “Christmas comes but once a year and the boys propose to have a good time." Inasmuch as the fellow phasized his declaration at the muzzle of a pistol, Captain Bouldin waived the formality of an argument on the premises and conceded the correctness of the position assumed by “the boys.” The value of the leaf tobacco exported bv this country in 1890 was $20,640,000.

IN CONVENTION ASSEMBLED.

. Varioßi Indiana Societies Convene at In -p— — dlanapoUa. 1 ■ The Indiana State Teachers’ Association met at Ply mouth Church. Indianapolis, Dec. 26. L. O. Dale, of VVabashf retiring President, delivered an address giving a history of the association, whfcl organized at Madison in 1853. Thi principal address at the first session was .delivered by the new President of the association, Dr. Joseph Swain, President oi tfaeStateUniversily, who gave ah is tortcal sketch of .that institution, its value; and possibilities. On the subject of Indiana students in colleges outside of the State, Dr. Swain said: I have been much Interested and in - strueted by an examination of the catalogues of the universities in the United States, outside of Indiana, to learn how many students from Indians Ugo to colleges outside of the State. An examination of the catalogues of forty coliegesout of a total of over four hundred colleges shows 385 Indiana students. The total expense of these students, calculated from ’ the estimated expenses by the authorities of these institutions, show that about >150,000 go out from liidiana to maintain these students outside the State. When we consider all the colleges not contained in the above examination it is safe to say that more thun?soo.ooJ goout from Indiana annually to educate Indiana’s sons and daughters in institutions outside the State. Give us the money to make a great institutiou of learning and Indiana will not only save the greater part oft ho >500,00'1 in the State, but she will bring the sons and daughters of other States to spend a half-million more. Dr. Swain presented an array of statistics bearing on the subject of an additional endowment for the State University, concluding as follows: The amount of the taxable property of the Stateof Indiana for the year 1892, as shown by the State •Auditor's account, is >1.302.310,250. Thus the tax of one-Slxth of a mill in the State would yield something over S2OO 000 per annum. The last vote for Governor in Indiana shows nearly GtO.COO votes. Thus such a tax would,, mean that the average tax-payer would .' pay about 33X cents per annum for the support of the State University. He now pn ys l ess th an 12 cen ts per annum. In order that the Indiana University may be more useful to the whole State in helping it to grow toward aric lter, higher, nobler civilization she asks the help of every teacher and friend of education. Addresses on a variety of topics were delivered by Profs. Bedgood, Brown, Sanders and Blatchley. The Indiana College Association met in the Century Club rooms in the Denison, Deft. 26, with President George S. Burroughs, of Wabash, in the chair. The routine business was short, the only action of note being the admission of Christian College of Merom as a member of the association and an invitation to the college trustees-of the State, to participate in the future meetings of the association. Three papers were read at the afternoon meeting by Profs. Kingery, Henry and Duff. The I ibrary Association of Indiana met at the Public Library, Dec. 26. at 2 p. m. Miss Browning delivered an address giving a comprehensive outline of the library work in Indiana. A reception was givenin thd parlors of the Denison by the Bowen Merrill Company, in the evening, and a banquet was also served. Various auxiliary • societies also held meetings. They were as follows: The teachers of English: the college presidents; teachers’reading circle board; thg Indiana Historical Societ y.

A MURDERER CAUGHT.

Tell Tale Image |n the Victim’s Eye Le<l to His Arrest. A Jamestown, N- Y., special, Dec. 26, says: The arrcst of George W. Depew oq suspicion of being the murderer of Mrs. Winslow Shearman and her daughter, Mrs. Clinton, has caused much excitement here. One or two persons who saw him say that his appearance corresponds with the description of the image of thq man seen in Mrs. Shearman's eye as it standing in a stooping position. The djs-> mission over the possibility of identifying a murderer by the image left on the retina of the victim’s eye has therefore been revived with groat Intensity Several of those who saw the image before it was blurred by the removal of the eye from the socket remember the imago so distinctly that they could identify the general outlines of the man’s figure from, it and the half profile revealed in th>i imago Before the removal <4 the eye the imago was sharply defined. Even the' wrinkles on the clothing wero plainly! seen by the al! of the microscope,

A NOTABLE CONFLAGRATION.

Burning of the Fsraoni Cliff House nt Saq Franclavo. The Cliff House, at San Francisco. on<> of the most famous resorts in the world, was burned, Tuesday night. It was on the high bank of the Hay at-Golden Gate, overlooking the seal rocks, about six miles from the center of the city, and was onq of the chief points of interest along thq coast. The resort was a part of the pos-. sessions of Adolph Sutro, San Francisco's mayor-elect- The buildings were framq structures and were used as saloons, and curio shops. In addition* , there were wide balconies from which tho seals could be viewed. About ono hundred feet to the north are tho new salt wa ' ter bathsand connecting the two buildings are a row of sheds and fences. The baths are Immense frame structures capable of holding 3O.(XX) people, and are theinrirest in the world. They cost fBOO.OOi). Tliotf have been In course of construction for three years, and a month ngo were opened to the public, On the Lights above the CHIT House are tSufro’s private residence and magnificent grounds, the latter of which are open constantly as a park to the public. The residence l and the hathf were both threatened by the lire, butes* caped destruction. Patents have been Issued to the following residents of Indiana: C. E.
