Last Monday Mr. Dawes in die House of Representatives moved to suspend. the rules and take up the $14,000,000 reserve bill, and, U|mhi a motion to engross, it was passed by the decided and rather unexpected vote of 108 to 77. — This may be considered an important victory tor the Expansionists, who no doubt, are largely in the majority throughout the Western and Sonthera States; this vote would seem to. indicate that they were also sufficiently represented in Congress to pass a bill increasing the volume oi National currency. As a temporary expedient such action inight be productive of present good, by making times a Lille easier for a while and stimnlaling the spiiit for speculation, but it may be a grave question if it selves auy other purpose than to t.mporize with the inherent evils of indebtedness. It is probable that in the long run it would be better lor the country if people would make up their minds to live" (fibre frugal and for the Govermmht to be more economical m its expenditures, both keeping within the . limits of oiir present circulating medium until after the public debt is paid, rather than to plunge still deeper in debt in order To indulge National and individual extravagance. If by issuing more greenbacks bonds could be bought in. and the’payment of interest stopped, it would, perhaps, be well enough to do so; but if bonds are to stand as they are and in addition thereto more greenbacks are issued, thus increasing National indebtedness, it is difficult to see how any real, permai.ent advantage is gamed.

INDIANA GOSSIP.

Butter has declined to forty ceiiTs a pound at Rochester. The first catch of while fish for the season appeared in the Michigan City market on Ttfesday ofj last week. ’ i A boy named Chaney had a leg broken the other day at Plymouth while wrestling with another boy, i named Spier. I It is estimated that it cost $25,- ' 000 to harvest the. Laporte ice crop this season, and it was not such a very large crop either, when compared with what it might have: been. A young lad at Plymouth named Cook was fatally shot last week by a small pistol in the hands of a playmate. The ball entered directly below one of his eves and passed diagonally into his head., Protracted meetings were closed in the Methodist and Presbyterian churches at Plymouth Tuesday night of last week, after having added about seventy members to the two denominations. Monticello people are much oxci - ed over the discovery of a gang of nickle counterfeiters/, near that place, and the arrest of Ifaniel Hickman and Silas Hugl.e-ci ag d wijh that offence. They were taken before U. S. Commissioner Fred Knefler, at lndianapolis, where they waived preliminary examination. Hickman gave bail in the sum of £I,OOO to appear and answer the charge before the United States Circuit Court on the 7IL day of next May. Hughs was committed to jail at Danville in default ol bail. On the 12th day .of May, 1573, Frank Gust, employed by Hill A McKeechey contractors on the i Canada Southern Railroad, while at work near Westville lost his left leg above the knee. He was driving a.horse to haul empty cars to! the gravel bank, when the animal became frightened by ap engine which was being ran on another track close by, reared and fell upon him and broke his leg. . Suit was brought against the contractors for SIO,OOO damages. The case was taken op change of venue to St. Joseph county, where a jury last week awarded $3,500 damages. The boy's fat her,now brings another suit, claiming $5,000 forieare of the lad and to reimburse him for loss of the boy’s services. Elections to vote aid in behalf .of the Indianapolis Delphi & Chicago Railroad have been ordered in two townships in White county, whish will be held on the 25th prox. In Jasper county no move has been made yet, although they are ready to raise $100,009 as quick as satisfactory arrangements can be made with the company, as to the Utttde of tendering aid. The people of Jasper, like our people, have made extraordinary efforts three or four times to secure a railroad, and every limo hive been disappointed

T l 'is is exactly onr condition. In all probability a proposition that would meet with a favorable response in .1 asper county —and the people only ask a fair proposition—would be enthusiastically received here. What we want lis some definite, tangible action lon the part of the Company. And when the assurance is given by the Company that, by a ppr..printing aid we can surely secure this great road our people are ready to do their utmost, and will make a grand show- ’ ing for the Company. We hope ' before long to announce favorable ' propositions from the Company that will give satisfaction. The alien’ tiptipfthe C, A S. A. Company has been solieited in the matter, and the prospeefs are by no means <lis- ; couraging.— L'ju'cll Star.

Connections of the Chicago & South Atlantic Railroad

Major Nicholas J.

Leaving Chicago, it crosses the “Joliet Cut-Off” a short distance beyond the Indiana State line; the Toledo, Peoria A I Warsaw, near Reynolds; ami the ■Toledo, W abash A Western, at Delphi, Indiana.

How to Make an Orchard.

TiSconiiiiencing to make an or* cliaTd bear in mind that it is not for a day *or year, but for a life time, and if we make mistakes it. may take years to find them out and ■ many years more to correct them. We should therefore, consider carefully what. we will plant, and win re and how we will plant, to bring'the'best returns A small 0.1 cliard well tended is worth more, than a large one that is neglected, ! and no one should plant more than ! he can care for. I Select if possible, the highest ground on the farin.foryour orchard site and have it naturally or artifieially drained so that water will I never stand about the r<»>ts. The soil should be well prepared j by a thorough and deep plowing the fall before pl inting! Having the ground selected and prepared for the orchard, go to the r nearest reliable nursery and get the trees fresli from the ground. If not convenient to go to the nursery make ’ tip a club with your iieinlibois, and select the trees or send your order to some reliable Jinan. If you cannot find any better way to get your ti-ces buy of a peddler rather than go without, though it is much the better way tu buy directly from the • man who grows them. ’ Do not expose the roots to sun i or air, and as soon as you get them ; bury them in moist earth, taking out only as wmrted for planting. Never dig large deep holes for water to stand in under the trees, bm have all the ground all well worked. Throw out enough earth to give the roots, ample l oom to set ! your trees in ami fill up carefully with -fine- -mellow -cas th, pressing it ■ lirmly about the loots. TbiLjilanL , i ng should Le'dtme when the ground j is in good order for working and not too wet; if dry, water when the ‘ ' I earth 4s=ttea4-4=y=6£fod=tß, and. then fill up with dry earth to prevent bak- : ing. —On good soil, not too light but well drained, plant two or three ; inches deeper than thegrees grew in the nursery. rTthe soil is tenacious and not well drained plant almost on top and ridge-up to them, ; leaving dead furrows for drains be- i tween the rows; and raise the earth about the trees three or four inches : so they will stand deeper than they gi c .V. In a light, sandy, W(‘ll;draincd soil I plant five to sixTifclies deeper than | the Trees gre w. ■ /:I My experience teaches me that ; the Lest time to plant is in the spring before the growth starts, but it will do to plant until the buds are fairly opi-m-d.--/i'"i< Fiti-ui'-r, r

The Laughing Plant.

The London Garden copies, from Palgrave’s work on CeiiiralTiifU Eastern Arabia, an aceoun-t of a plant wiinsg seeds produce ellccts similar to those of laughing gas. It is a native of Arabia. A dwarf variety of it is found at Kaseem,’ and another variety at Oman, which attanis to a bight ot from three to four feet, with woody steins, wide-spreading branches, mid bright green foliage. Its flowers are produced m clusters, and are of a bright yellow color. The seed pods are sos t and woolly- in texture, and contain two or three black seeds, of the size and shape of a French Dean. Their flavor is a little like that of opium, and their taste is sweet; the odor from them produces a sickemng sensation and isjslightly qffiaiisiiA— These jseedscontain the essential property of this ettrhordinary plant, and when ' pulverized and taken in small doses ■ operate upon a person in a most pe- | culiar manner. He begins to laugh ; loudly, boisterously tlieq he sings, ' dances, and cuts all manner of fan- : tastic capers. Such extravaganee j of gesture and manner was produce 1 by any other kind of dosing. The effect continues about an hour, and the patient is uproariously comical. When the excitement ceases, the exhausted exhibitor falls into a deep sleep, which con- - tiiiues for aii hour or more; and f when he awakens, he is utterly uu- I conscious that any such demonstra* tions have been enacted by him. To mend rubber boots or shoes ! cut out a pa?vh of rubber of the size required, and rub the patch and part to be mended wftli sand paper. Dissolve a little pure rubber in turpentine, making the mix- i ture about as thick as common molasses, smear the patch and boot or shoe five times with this, letting it dry each time; then smeiir once more and press together. This receipL is recommended by the Scientific American.

fruits Meet for Bepentance.

Among “the things that make ! foi'peace” wo count'as one of the most I eanliful and efFe<-tive, a recent incident in South Carolina. The remains of two Union soldiers have reposed in neglected roadside graves near L-nicaster in ihatTlfte-, since February, 1865, when Kilpatrick's ! cavalry was skii'mishing thereabouts. Last month their bones Were disinterred with reverent ami tender care bv the Lancaster survivors of the Confederate army, ; placed in coffins and guarded by them in the court house, for several nights, while awaiting transportation, and forwal’ded for honorable? burial ip the National cemetery iift FlorwHoepthe railway also, by direction of the president, an old I Confederate officer, conveying them free of charge to Columbia. The i - ' ... i Southern soldiers engaged in this fraternal act also sent to the United States officer at Columbia a let. ter, written 4>y Judge Mackey, of i the Sixth Circuit,- saying that they were moved thereto by the strewing i ot; flowers upon the graves of comi fades at Madison. Wis,, last Deco- ' ration day by the Grand Army, by 1 the reeommendation.ot the Govern • or of Ohio that the State enclose the ! Confederate cemetery at Columbus; and by the earnest brotherly feeli ing of Grant, Sherman and other! Union officers at the reunion of Mexican war veterans in Washing- ■ ton, last January. And the judge, thus writing, says: “This act will meet with disfavor only from that ' select band of Southern patriots,' . who, amid the general clash of arms devoted their great mental energies ! to the ascertainment of the law- of ; safe distances as applied to project- ! iles, and stood firmly by-tkeir hmne-s j until, their homes were invaded rCoL.Black.

Window Gardening.

Tiiis is an especial app ojriate season of the year to make the windows beautiful with plants. There is great pleasure in bringing spring indoors by collecting the flowers which are now in bloom in the hot house, and plan ling thehTmThe hand some boxes or baskets made for that purpose. AVindow gardening 1 is delightful m winter time: neveri tbeless, there the hardiest plants i suffer more or less for fresh air. I■• - - j At this time there are hours at i noon when the windows can be I throwiLopen, ami the plants-which ; have been boused in greenhouses ■ will apparently speak their thanks • contact with the sun’s rays. The 1 plants now in blossom are the hyacinth, narcissus, tulip, daffodil, cineraria, heath, violets, lilies of t!ie valley, and seyeral other varieties which are charming as companions in the sitting room. SlTallow cigar boxes are very useful for planting ; seeds, and can be arranged to look nicely in the windows. In two or three weeks from this time, it will be proper to plant mignonette and sweet elysium, those fragrant and jnost suitable plants for window ; boxes. The vine seeds should then be put in the hanging baskets. They are for the most hardy vines. The morning dory is easily cultivated and is exceedingly graceful in leaf and flower. It will grow j readily in any sunny window. Violets, early flowering snowdrops, I anemones, forget-me-nots, and primroses are the best plants for culture in outside window boxes. The. exquisite loveliness of the rose will'not permit it to be omitted from the window garden, notwithstanding it is with difficulty kept in a thriving condition. Tea and China roses are the bestjadapted for culture in boxes. For keeping plants healthy which are indcots at this season, close the windows of their room by three o’clock. Great attention .must be paid to their cleanliness to promote their rapid growth. Flower pots need washing on the outside weekly. Never leave water standing in

the saucers of the. flower pots. Water must be given to the plants plentifully in these spring months. Kain waler is aljvays best for vegetation. Stimulate plants once a week with .liquid manure. A large sponge is good for a watering pot for Lousii plant*. TLis-U-the month to prepare the ground for a successful crop of vegetables and flowers.

Manufactories.

The thought is sometimes expressed that the establishment of manufactories in a community is of no benefit except to those who are direelly engaged in them. Farmers have beerr heard - to“Rtyr"when, they hear that capitalists intend locating some manufacturing interest at the county seat or some other suitable town, that it is no , benefit to them; and when asked to j contribute a quota to induce the Ideation of Such interests in t eir midst, they refuse, saying,“let those ‘ give who will be directly benefited . it is no advantage to us farmers—- ! we do not expect to get work at the j shops —let the store keepers raise I the bonus, for they will reap the ; profit—wo wil| never get a return tor our money’’ and many similar and equally fallacious arguments. Now let all who entertain such | suicidal views, read carefully the following statement of facts, and then say that the establishment of manufacturing interests in their midst is not a real and positive benefit in dollars that the amount they contribute was not the best investment of their ! lives: “A good illustration ofwhatinanufactuies can do for a town may be ; found in the history of Canton, ; Ohio, where Ball’s reapers are : made. When the inventor went : there it was one of the dullest and ■ least productive towns in tiie State ~re trograding in weal tb wndpopul -a—- ---; tion. But some of the citizens j appreciated the situation and its I possibilities for improvement. — Ball asked for '510,000 to help start a manufactory; it vva.s_ raised for him. In five years the town has doubled its population and trebled its taxable valuation; and out of the investment had sprung two large agricultural implement manufactories, employing 2,500 men, one of plows exclusively, one of stoves and hbl’owware, one of reaper ami mower knives, one of Yaddlery hardware, two of horse rakes, one olLfarnr wagons,-one of cultivators, one of wrought iron bridges, one of soaps, and others of miscellaneous characters, In supplying this large population a niarket for farm produce has also been meitred, whicTi Is building up all the region round about, and carrying wealth and comfort into homes within a circuit of t wenty miles.” And CanUm, is not the only place whose results are similar, not a place, from Maine to the Gulf oi from the Atlantic to the Dacific, where the business was judiciously managed and suitably located, that the results were not equally favorable. The farmer may not realize a direct dividend on the money thus contributed, but the better market for iiis products, the increas ed value of his lands, show a better return, a more tangible div ideud than anything he could invest his money in.— South Bend Tribune,

The Paiace of Montezuma.

The ancient palace cf Montezuma, in the heart of the city of Mexico, where that unfortunate monarch was seized and made Captivc by the treacirery ot under Cortez, is described as having been a place of great magnificence. It was full of sculptured arches, pillars and beautiful fountains. On the consumation of the Spanish conquest, it was converted into the Roman Catholic convent of San Francisco, and became one of the most wealth and powerful religious institutions of the kind iu the New World. Church and State have, until within the past few years, been always united in Mexico; but A few years a go, under President Juarez, the Congress decreed a separation, and ordered the sale of all church property. . ’ . • The American Methodists bought the palace last year for mission purposes, for thejßum of $16,500," and, on last Christmas day,- having cleaned up and repaired the building, it was publicly dedicated to Protestant worship. The walls are five feet thick, and it is built in the most strong and endurable manner. Much of.the beautiful original sculpturing still remains, and it could not now be recut, it is said, lor less than SIOO,OOO. The Methodists have room upon the premises

for printing ofiicea, schools, parsonages, etc., and expect, one of these days, to make it the center of a very extensive scene of educational operations — Scientific American.

Easter Sunday.

Encyclopedists differ about the origin of Easter, though they seem all to agree that it has a Saxon root. Some trace the word back to “ostei,” to rise, in allusion to the Savior's resurrection; others derive jt from the rites of Eostre, or Ostara, a heathen goddess, whence April came to be styled Easter month in the Saxon calendar. By the decision of the Nic&nean Cduncil, Easter comes on the first Sunday after the first full of the moon which follows the vernal equinox; hence the great oscillates during the present century between the 22d of March and the 25th of April—a period of thirty-five days. The imperfect mode of computation in use among scholars in the time of the council scarcely admitted of any other and more accurate airangement. But though it is different now, the computation of Easter still remains, even with the greatly simplified method invented by Gauss, ’one of the most intricate calculations in arithmetic, and the technical terms “Golden Number.” “Dominical Letter,” “Solar Cycle,” etc., employed in the process, look to lay eyes someffiing very much like the astronomical abracadabra. It has therefore, well been observed that in view of the various profound problems which the human mind is called upon to study and to solve, the labor devoted to such gratuitous computations—us a wanton waste of time and brains, both of which might be more profitable employed. There are, however, always people who take a peculiar delight in siicfli bootless pains, and the solution of the Easter question might, perhaps, not be so very objectionable on that account alone, were it not that more serious argumeats are urged against the unnecessary mobility of the festival. Inter Ocean. —_ Professor Maisch recently presented to the Philadelphia College of Ph arniacy a sample of trompatilla a new remedy for hydrophobia, from Mexico,—where it is said to have been successfully used in the cure of tile terrible malady mentioned. It is administered in the form of a decoction. Trompatilla is obtained from-the stems and bramcires“of" Bouvardia triphylla.—Scientific American.

A good advertisement in a widely circulated is the best of all salesmen. It is a salesman who never sleeps and is never weary; who goes after business early and late; who accosts the merchant, in his shop, the scholar in his study, the lawyer in his office, the lady at breakfast tabic; who can be iu a thousand places at once, and speak to a million people every morning, • saying to each one the best thing in the best manner.— Rowell's Reporter. - To render posts or timber, placed in the ground, practically impervious to moisture, and for a long time prevent decay, the following simple recipe has- been tried and found to answer the purpose excellently. For fence and gate posts, it is particularly recommended: Take Linseed oil, boil it, and mix it with charcoal dust until the mixture has the consistence of an ordinary paint. Give to the posts a single coat of the mixture or paini before planting them, and n<) farmer, says one who has used it, living to the age of the patriarchs of old will live long enough to see the same posts rotten. The posts or timber should be well seasoned and dry when the paint is applied. . . .■ ■ » —- Hon. David C. Casey, formerly a resident of this county, is now mayor of Arkadelphia. Arkansas.
