THE STANDARD. - SATURDAY. DECEMBER 6,1879.

The fifth eeosaz district of Ib4hm h composed of the following coontier Benton, Carroll, Casa. Fulton, Howard, Jasper, lake, Laporte, Marshall, Miami, Newton. Porter, Pulaski, St. Joseph, Starke and White. Did you ever bear Eli Perkins? (Melville D. London). Why, be la the funniest man living. He is funny to begin, with, and as be speaks. on bo gets as fanny as it is possible to* a mun to be, and then keeps on getting funnier. The subject of bis lecture will lie “The Philosophy of Pud." Of course you will want to take your opera glasses, so that you can the more readily see the point of his jokes. When is he coming? How dees be look? Why of coarse he does! And he has a habit common with most witty individuals of wear ing bis nose right between his eyes; and he invariably, when standing, keeps his mouth above his chin. He says that “those purchasing tickets to his lecture will be admitted tom front seat at the funeral tnjeuse he should be hung before the time arrived. He will be at Starr’s Hall on Monday evening, December 15, 1879. Those sot bolding season tickets will still find it to their advantage to purchase, as a reduction has been made proportional to the number of entertainments yet'o come.

GREENBACK MEETING.

Since tiie late elections the old hard money parties are ringing it all over »lie land that *‘tbe Greenback party is dead.’* To test this statement we call npon all independent persons, without regard to former political associations, who bold to tiie principles of the Greenback L ibor party, and expect to support candidates folly identified with these principles in all elections, County, Slate, and National, to meet.at the conrt house in Rensselaer, otfSatorday, December 13, at lo o'clock a. m., to organize, or rather reorganize, the party in Jasper county, in preparation for the great coming conflict in 1880; and tailing then, coutinue the contest till they accomplish their object —an entire change in the whole finantial policy of this great country, and witness the downfall of the heartless and niinoos inflation and contraction managers now iu power. Speakers from abroad are expected. Rensselaer, Ind., Nov. 17, 1879. A. B. Clinton, C. P. Hopkins, John Bicknel, W. C. Pierce, George Bessie, John Kohler, H’eny N. Welsh, S. W. Irwin, J? D.

George Webb* of Eli/Abetb, N. J., writes to the editor of the Standard, under date of November 25th, as follows: “My friend Frank W. Babcock haa sent me your paper occasionally. * * * I need not say 1 sympathize with your political views, for F. W. B. and I ride 'lie same patriotic horse. It does seem to me that there is plain common sense and integrity enough inflndiana to discard your “Blue Jeans'' governor and Dan Voorhees in the next election. Mew Jersey is as certain for a republican vote in 1880 as Massachusetts.’» By way of postcript he adds: "1 perceive 1 overlooked what was really moot in my mind when I began this letter. It was, I want to express my admiration of that sonnet headed ‘Watebing and Waning,’ by Miss Peris L. Christain. If that individual is in your vicinity encourage hey to write more. Bhe is a star.” The sonnet referred to appeared in the Standahd of November I6ib, and was. indeed, a beautiful production. The writer, however, in not a resident of Jasper county or we would be after her for regular contributions to the Stahdsn.

ON THE WING.

BY IDA DODGE.

Here we are again, Mr. Elitor, with a long string of items; short, bat toths point. O. B. Melntire, of Remington, was ia town Tuesday. Al. Celt’s new house is raadj to receive the plastering. There has been very little skating thus far, this winter. How does that new leaf look that yon yon turned ever last January. The fill term of the Rensselaer public schools elosss in shout two weoki. Gospel temperance meeting, Sunday evening, st the M. R. Church. Let sll attend. . Five new ears here been added to the roiling mock of the sorrow gsugs, this week. George Warden, formerly of this plsce, bat Ister of Valparaiso, is hums oa s visit. -“Roonomy U the rosd to wealth.” How atony young men in the town of Rensselaer realise this fact? The time es year has arrived when Sunday schools should be wall attended; cause why. Christmas tree. Homer D. Cope at Btarr’a hall last Saturday night—the finest euu-rtainuient aver witnessed in Rensselaer.' A Sunday school concert and Christinas tree is talked of for Christmas eve by the Methodist denomination.' 8, 8. A Z. L)wlggins now employ another man in their bank and law office in the person of Mr. George Nagle. A new postal route hae been established between the school house and town.. None but puppy-love letters carried, j _

Mr. F. W. Bad ford has traded for a stock of dry good and general merchandise and will occupy a room in the Nowels block. Horace E. James is troubled with rheumatism and has purchased a splendid new iron safe to keep post office valuables in. The ordinance of baptism was administered to ac infant child of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Wood, last Sunday morning, by Elder Godfrey. Splendid brick sidewalks have been built on the north side of Washington street. Mors such would hdd to the appearance of our little city. k The Sentinel will soon be printed on a power press, Me. took the first power press to Monticello sad brings the first one to Rensselaer. Fred Cele and Baz. Donnelly have the contract of painting Willey A Sigler’s new opera bouse, the winch is rapidly approaching completion. I 4 The nejet entertainment under the auspices of the Inring Literary Association, will be given by Eli Perkins, the great humorist, on Monday evening, December 15th. Chemical apparatus has bean purchased and placed in the high school department of the Rensselaer schools, designed for the instruction of the pupils of said department. Lying is considered by all good people as being a very low, degrading and dishonorable practice, notwithstanding which there are persons in Rensselaer addicted to this most disgusting of all habits. The members of the Christian Sunday school have made arrangements for a grand Christmas tree and entertainment on Christmas Eve. The exercises will open with an oration by Master Louis Hollingsworth.

Thera w« more truth than poetry in Lyman Zea’s remarks before temperance meeting last Monday evening; especially when he said that all some of the boys attended for was to see the jprls home, and the girls to be seen home by the boys. The court boose'was filled with a large and enthusiastic audience last evening, at Blue Ribbon meeting. ‘ Charley Hazard made the crowning effort of the evening, immediately after which signers were called for, and ten or a dozen young men of Rensselaer responded promptly to the call. This ts a good work and we are glad to see ft thus prosper.

At a regular meeting nf the Jasper County Temperance Union, held at the Christian Church on Monday evening, December Ist, the following officers were elected for the ensuing terra: President, E. H. Tharp; vice president. Miss Mollis Babcock; secretary, Miss Ora Thompson; treasurer, Miss Blanch Boroughs. The next meeting will be held in the M. E. Church on the first Monday evening in January, 1880. There are young ladies(?) and gentlewho attend the M. E. Church Sunday evening for the sole purpose of having a good time and thereby disturbing the minister. Such parties are hereby informed that the statute books of the state of Indiana sport laws for the protection of such meetings and that they will consult their own interests by heeding this warning and spare themselves the hnmiliatioo of bring brought before judge and jury and receiving the punishment they so justly deserve.

One would naturally conclude that the old crusade feeling was being revived in Rensselaer. Last Wednesday a Company of women proceeded to Tbtear’s saloon and informed a husband aud father that unlees he went and bought some provisions for his family, who were suffering, they would subject him to a terrible cow-hiding, and a* the same time gave him to understand that if,this didn't suffice they would Ur and feather him. This had the deeired affect upon the said husband and father, who complied with the ladies' wishes, whereupon they retired peacefully to their homes.
