Independently Republican.

The Retfsvelaer Union bus been reduced in size and price, and will henceforth be independently Republican. It is an cxcidietit home paper.—Plymouth Democrat.

One of the Most Readable Papers in Northern Indiana.

Although the Rensselaer Union has been reduced in size, from a eix column qiiaito to a seven column folio, it still renmifis one of (he most rewdalde- papers in Northern Indiana. Its subscription wits likewise reduced from J2to $1 ncr year. That's cheap.—Valparaiso Ales

“Get Off Dot Fence, Majah!”

So far as doctrine is concerned, Major Calkins, the Republican congressman from the l.al’oitedistrict.' is a pretty fair Democrat. Theoretically a Democrat but practically a Republican, seems to bo the Major's predicament; Get off dot fence, Mnjuli!—Ligonier Banner

There’s Millions In it!

There is an opening for a Republican paper now at Rensselaer. The county has a Republican majority <.f five hundred, and yet this vast number of enlightened people is without a ifriisselaer* invites a live Republican publisher. There’s money in the invitation. Who will accept it?—Monticello Herald.

Corruscating Witticisms.

Moxa Morton has J>een waiving the “bloody shirt” on the Pacific coast. Poyr Moxa. Major Calkins is said to be on the fence. Possibly that accounts for Bro. Janies going to bis roost. Well, let him while in that position imagine himself consul to guano Rensselaer Democratic Sentinel.

A Sensible Step.

The reduction in size of Indiana newspapers still continues, the List being the Rensselaer Union, one of the ablest papers in this congress!vnnl district. The reduction has not detracted from its ability. It was a sensible step taken by its proprietors who were issu ng a larger paper than the town could support. —Michigan City Enterprise.

Ripe Fruit Essential to health.

A great deal of sickness could be avoided nt this season of the year by using disinfectants freely and exercising care in eating. I’lenty of ripe fruit should be eaten, but green or decayed fruit of any kind should be avoided with great care. Unripe, rotten or soured fruit of any kind is unhealthy nnd sholtld never be eaten. Ripe fruit, howi-vef, wheu in season, can safely be regarded as not only healthy but actually essential to -the preservation of good health; but like every tiling else it should be eaten in reasonable moderation.—La--I’orte Argus.

Two Mere Democratic Newspapers Declare in Favor of Republican Principles.

The Goshen Democrat truthfully’ says: ‘•Maj. Calkins, front the 10:h Congressional ‘•District, comes out so squarely in favor of “Democratic principles ns to greatly ent“barrass the Republican press of this dis“trict.” We regard the Major as a prettygood Democrat in everything except in naifie, and we have a strong hope that he will pursue a very independent course as a member of congress. His present position is much more ratisfactory Io his Democratic mmstiiuents than it is to the Republican crowd. “Hold on and see the salvation hf God,” as A. Lincoln Used to siy.— La forte Argus.

Advice to a Rural Newspaper Correspondent.

A youth out at Reyuolus is. striving to hceunie famous through the columns of the Llemoerat,vby sending in funny communications frequently. Don’t seek so persistently for fame, young man, but seek fpr the love ttf some fair biscuit shooter, for -love abide’h forever, and isn’t qwue so fluctuating as fame. When this’ world is shipwrecked upon the unknown seas of eternity, lore shall like a phmirfx rise from • the ashes, and wing its way to the realms I of glory, where honor has no seal, and vv,’K*re thest«im of ambition is'bluwn off; fqpcver. This will fit ybu better; fir the Lord never intended you for » second edition of Mark Twain.—Monticello Democrat.

We's Gwien Home.

jThc movement among the colored people of South Carolina with a view to emigration to Liberia begins to bo formidable enoughtoattract attention. 11 H conducted by whnt Is known »s the Liberia Exodus Association, ostensibly composed of colonists. The agents of this association go through the country holding meetings, and through the churches and societies to wliich the negroes are attached a great deal,of interest has been ttri»ti»ed. The free State in Africa is painted by these agents ns a land flowing not only with milk nnd honey, but with bread and molasses; a land wheffi the negro has his own Way in everything, where there is neither Ku-Klux nor carpet-bagger, where three crops of corn nre gatheted every yrar, and cotton grows, like grass, in the old fields without replanting. It is easy Io imagine the effect of this picture upon the discouraged laborers nnd idlers in the streets of Charleston or the shiftless field hands of t he.sea islands. Tlmgoppel of colonization needs oidy tv be’ pt-cached to tnnko converts. At meetings in Charleston great.enthusiasm has been manifested, nnd over 30,(M;0 persons, mostly ’from the city of Charleston nnd from Barnwell, Beaufort nnd Edgefield counties, have registered for emigration. The promise of a farm in Liberia looks now ns rosy to the poor black j man ns did that of forty acres and n mulo ! a few years ago, upon which his faith was I fed so long. Evidently tho would-be emigrants aro in dead earnest; rill they ask is transportation across the seas. “The gospel ship is sailin’; children git on bonrd,” is the hymn of the day.—Bhiladclpldu Times.

THE NEiW. SB MI SUMMER stock .qpr DRY GOODS JUST OPENED BY 1 FENDIG CO2ITSZSW3 CXF Staple Articles that are in demand and that civilized people must use, whether the times be flush or dull, business is at ebb or flow’, or money is plentiful or scarce. No attempt was made to secure frivolous novelties in the selection of my stock of goods for the spring and summer trade of c 877. in Jasper county, but an ye was trained to the choosing of articles whose durability and price would recommend them to a community that is anxious "to adapt themselves to the circumstances which now r surround everybody in the United States. But this did not prevent the purchase of a stock that will compare favorably in point of beauty with anything to be found in this market," while the standard quality and low prices of the fabrics must necessarily recommend them in an especial manner to people of judgment., prudence and economizing desires. No special enumeration of the articles comprising this new stock is deemed necessary from the fact that it is very well known that I deal in all articles usually found in collections of general merchandise in inland towns, but it may be well enough to say that boots, shoes, hats, caps, clothing, standard groceries, etc.,are kept in addition to the assortment of dress fabrics and other dry goods. Calls of inspection and purchase respectfully invited R. FKBTDI&.
