Tempera nee InUiiii, 4e. - On Wednemlsy night Inst, all the : sitting and standing room iu the rpa- " ciotia Lyceum- Hall, was again occupied, and William Baxter held the vast audience for two hours deeply interested in the truths he so forcibly presented. It was said by those familiar with his eloquent efforts on his .'favorite theuic of temperance, that he excelled all his former addresses, . in every particular. On Friday night . Mr. Baxter again addressed about one acre of wit citizeus at I'latnmer & Morrison's corner. On Sunday last, Kev. Mr. Path, addresi-ed a large and .appreciative audience at Phillips Hall -on the subject of temperance. We were not rreeetit. bt hear his address highly spoken of as being convincing . as well as eloquent. Our temperance , meetings increase m numbers aim in interest the people arc not weary ia well doing, and they are looking and hoping for good results from the grand iurv now in session. The women have continued picket-duty during the past week no juoxe .changes in business . among fujuor-soUers or of their evil dispositions. , r Another temperance meeting at the Iiyeeum Hall to-night ( Wednesday, j "BUSTED!" "Tnia la Wluil tae for Me." .. A card bearing the above inscription hangs in the window of a late saloon, the proprietor of which, a short time since, quit the liquor trade and - engaged iu a more honorable business. .With the facts in relation to this "JjUit," we are not well acquainted, maris k of much consequence, since, fearing -eogagod ia a Mercantile ves -tare, this gentleman naturally should expect to take his chances with the rest, and the fact of his having quit Hhe liquor trade gave him no greater claim on the patronage of the public . than any other person in the same .business. All men in honorable business are equally worthy of patronage, and the fact of a prcvkmsly dishonorc able course is no special recommends -tioa. This poster however ia peculiarly suggestive. It tells what the erusade has done for one man in this city, as he sajs. Now, let us see what it ias done lor some others. It has closed the doors of twenty saloons. It has taken out of the path of scores of our young men the temptation which was luring them away, from home, from virtue, from, truth into wtoe ia all its forms. It has sent home co the toiting wife and destitute children the full ' weeks wages, and the kindness -of sobriety in the husbund and father. It has helped the poor, trembling wretch, too far gone to control his own appetite, and given him one more chance to be a man. It has 'healed the almost broken heart of the loving sister and restored the hope and pride .of the father and mother in their son. It has taken from a disgraceful pursuit men who are only too glad of an opporttnity to quit the unclean traffic, and claim and command tho re&pcct of their fellow men. But it is man has made a great mistake. The crusade has not "busted" him. It gave him a splendid opportunity, and if he has aot profited by it, it is his own fault. It showed him the error of his ways. It revealed to him the wrong he was doing; the terrible responsibility that rested on him in ' putting the bottle to his neighbors lips." It showed him where he stood in the estimation of the community, and where he might stand if he would. He says "this is what the .crusade has done for me.". It may he his financial failure is owing to the effects of the crusade, but a more sad fails re the bankruptcy not only of money, but of moral, of .health, of honor, of love of all things good and true, have come to thousands through the very traffio in which the crusade arrested him. It is a nd thing for one man to be financial ruined by the crusade. , It it a gsakd thing for hundreds and thousands to be physically and morally saved by its effort.

As a party it has made no great mistakes, and the . persistent attempt - of the opposition to hold it responsible for the errors or misdeeds of some of ,iti iodtfidiul Bifembfcra. ought-aot to-f deceive any honest man.

Onr Tempera, nee Law. The Baxter Liquor Law, wh'wh is the law ia Indiana, wo have reardcil ever since it pasac, aa being a just and iiunuu law, thoroughly ... iu letting with tltc spirit of American liLtxy and freedom. It has otojjJ the teat of the Supreme Court, which proves its equity and constitutionality. Iy the merest accident and for a very trivial omission, one clause of the lav was declared unconstitutional not the-ckuiso itself but the omissiou to mention the clause in the text of the bill, was the only reason assigned by tlie fcupreine L'ourt tor declaring the iHh section of the law unconstitutional. Sinee we have hear 1 Mr. Baxter defend the law agaiust all objections made to it, we are more than ever impressed with its soundness equity ojid schniratlo adaitability to the complete control of the liquor traffic; and lessening of the blighting effects of this great curse to society, Indiana may well be proud of her liquor las, and her citixena, if they bat do tiieijduty ia the matter of enforciug tlva law, will soon deliver themselves from the thraldom of intemperance and all its attendant crimes .-aid miseries. This brings us to the thought that there is a movement on foot among the distillers, brewers and salooa kcetcrs of lndiaaa, 60 bring about a reieal of this excellent law, by the election of men to the Legislature who will carry out their wishes. The movement is backed by an immense sum of money, which will be used "where it will do the most good" ia ev-ery sectioa of the State, and at this time, in every cauaty where aosuuaating canvases are going on. . The whiskyites are at work in carrying cut their purposes. It therefore behooves every lover of sobriety and good loor"als throughout the &tate, ao natter what party he belongs to, to see to it that none but good' men who are sound and safe on the temperance question are nominated to a Legislative office. The vital isue of temperance vs, the liquor traffic, cannM long be kept out of politics; and ft shouli not. The time has come; when the temperance element must rise in their might and thwart the efforts- of the mea who are eadeavorung to make 1 money off the miseries, woes , and heartaches of innocent women and children. The frightful ravages of intemperance, the blighting inflnenccs of the tratfio in intoxicatiag liquors , ; and tho degrading condition of society ( 'resulting there from, is enough to arouse every lather and mother, every ' sister and brother in our State . to a . sense f their duty. Earnest, prayerful work must be done. he Baxter , - law mast be sustained aad esforced. Men must be elected to the Leisla tare w'jo are incorruptible and known 1 to be reliable temperance men. ine liquor men will bring , their immense political influence as well as their money to bear upon legislation iu their interests, and therefore, against the happiness of thousands of our 1 citizens. There is no time to he lest and wherever the tempt ra ace uea and women of Indiana, are not al- ' ready organized, they should do so at once. The enemies of all that is good, true and noble are organized, ana they must be met by the united action of every lover of good morals.- The temnrnca element can do nothinr with- ' out thorough organisation; without it they are as a body wit bout a bead, organizea ana uniieu mey can overcome the giant monsteT with which they are grappling. The question of the hour in Indiana is; shall the Baxter law and temperance prevail, or shall lawlessness, drunkenness and all . its accompaniments be allowed to exist and and increase in proportion? May this vital question be met and answerd for God and the right. Liberty Herald. : - " ; 4. ; t-' 1 . "u , ,( . Uamklf. A horrible event occorred ia. the northeast part of DeKalb county.

Theysay that it ruined everything in which it became an ingredient. It has been colored with annato and other chemicals to give it the appearance of good butter, and has been 'given a flavor and smell by the use of milk.' eo that w hen the grease is fresh, the casual . dealer on th butter market is easily deceived.. Not so with the experienced dealers. They can detect it, but, to the ehaine of some of them, they have dealt largely in it for the fake of large immediate profit?. So bold have the operators become that a large quantity was scut to the Commissioners of Charities and Corrcctiops to be used for feeding the paupers. It was rejected by the Commissioners. It is reported that the hit of dead horses and other offal has been introduced info this so-culled "butter." The housewives of New. York have bec.mc alarmed, and will not buy any butter that crumbles like Tich cheese nnderthe bl.-rdc of a knife. A strikinsr peculiarity of this "bosch" as it isliranded l3' law in Germany is that it is absolutely useless in cakes or pastry, making the dongh too "short." At a moderate temperature,, considerably below that at which pure; batter melts it liquifies, and soon turus to rancid oil.

' The Washington correspondent of the New York Times gives . the following as the explanation for the resignation of Major Willis Drnmtaond from the Coramissionersliip of tho United State' Land Office: Mr. DrumniorKl states in his let ter that t he cause of Lis desire to leave the office is its inadequacy of tho salary. When Mr. Drnmniond took the office, three roars ago, the ealttrjr was ;$3,000i . He , hesitated at that time about accepting the position, bat was assured by various persons, in Congress and out of. it, that the salary would - probably be increased. Onco having en terod npon the duties of the office he became so identified , with important measures of reorganization and reform that he could not resign till they wore successful.' Last year tho salary was increased to -LG0). . When the Bdlary . repeal bill was passed this season it took effect npon this office, with others, and reduced tho 6al-iry again to $3,000. The duties of tho office aro very difficult and important The Commissioner has to, act judicially upon more cases than many of the courts of the United States, and these cases often involve the disposition of property rained at millions of dollars." Since Mr. Druinniond's resignation lie has made a connection with the law firm of Britton & Gray, of this city, and will remain here in the practice of his profession. By his resignation the government loses one of the very best and most efficient of its officers. , ,. - The Connersville Times . says: The widow of Alfred Caldwell, who died some time ago under tho effects of mania potn,.has accepted a compromise offered by one of the two druggists charged with selling liquor to her husband, the said druggist . paying her $350. , The other party implicated, has so far refused to compromise- but he will have to do it, or bo driven to legal extremes."

J Expositor of the 23d asserts that the commo"tion at Bald and Stone ; mocntains on tho previous Friday was more violent than in Feburary. "Many of the newspapers," it says "treat exl this disturbance as a myth and humbug; but the recent tremendous movement of this mountain has assumed a character too serious for ridicule. AYe, do aot pretend to be able to say what may bo the result of this wonderfnl : phenomenon, but the facts aro strictly true; and the people feel impressed with the Nolemn premonitions of some terrible movement in this moun- : tain, ; ., Tho Enquirer Ins detailed accounts of the shaking, verified by responsible parties, and describes , tho terror so great even twentyfour miles from the mountain that many setters axe .. 'preparing, to , abandon their homes. There seems after all to be little doubt that the shaking of the mountain is traceble to volcanic influence?. lrofessor DePre, Geologist of Woford 'College, South Carolina, in Li3 official report, takes this view. Afler describing ... his visit to the scene of the disturbance, he says : All the testimony which we collected from the people w hile passing along the eastern and western side of thi3 mountain, covering a dis taneo of eighteen miles, concurred in the following , suuimary : That there were certain days marked Ly loud reports and severe shakes; that from fifty to seventy-five shocks have been felt sinee the 10th of February;, that the noise begins with an . explojsion like . a blast, followed by a rumbling ' sound, lasting only a few seconds ; that the shocks are simultaneous, or almost so with the reportSi and seemed ; to follow the direction of the t umbling .sound, with this, exception, that those near the top of the mountain assert they appear to be under and all around them; that the reports all - camo from Stono and Bald Mountain ridge, those living on the east ' 6ide pointing to the west, and those on the west pointing to the east ' for tho direction of sounds ; that these reports occur as often during the night as the day, in fair weather as in foul; that the effects are felt five miles on each side of the mountain ridge, and extend from Broad river on the southwest to Catawba " on the north a distance of twentyfive miles; that houses shake, trees with their dead leavs tremble, glasses and crockery rattled, shavings in their workshops shake and "quiver," as one expressed it." Tliis testimony 'was collected from thirty or forty men and women of different degrees of intelligence, and their remarkable concurrence in the above statement places the facts bayond the possibility of doubt. .

In case tho law requires an annual reorganization of the Board, and any Board of School Trustees should fail, from any cause, to ef feet such a reorganization, and iis officers continue to act as such, would they be liable upon their bonds?" ; The Attorney General replies: . If the Legislature had intended that the treasurer should hold his office for three years, and that he alone should be liable and accountable for the fund, surely a different "provision would have been made. My opinion, therefore, is, that said ; section five, as amended by the act ;of March 8, ; 1873, does require an organization of the School Board every year This being . the case, an election should be had by. the School Board each year, of a presi- . dent, secretary and treasurer, and 1 the officers should ach give bond annually. : .; v.

A- new- motive ower recently emanated from a Philadelphia inventor whichvm theopitnon of many scientifio men -who-havo examined it, is likely to effect a complete revolution ax tL machinery of the JTPrldl t const3,simi;laf iJro cess whereby water is transformed into Taper without tho application or development of heat, resulting in the production of a motive power of greater capacity than steam. The discovery is the result of la borious experiments carried on for twenty-five years by Mr. John AY. Keery, of Philadelphia.- These experiments ' were begun , by Mr. Keely before he had attained to his twentieth year with a view , to tho construction of a perfect.; water wheel He constructed - such a wheel, but in the course 'of his - experiments he conceived the' idea that 1 he would 'build, an engine driven in part by water and in part by the utilization of atmospheric pressure, which would be as power ful as an engine driven by steam, and of course infinitely less expensive, the use of fuel being dispensed with. J In this ho was also successful; he constructed an engine whose motive power was compressed , air on one side and a -. vacum on the other, and water as an; agent for holding the Tncum ' in ; suspension. So far as it was tried it was claimed for this engine that it'was a vast improvement over steam machinei y, but in operating it , certain effects were manifested that convinced, the inventor that he could construct a still simpler and far more powerful machine. - He acted ; upon this belief, and after great .abbr1 produced an engino which more than fulfilled his expectations. The vital principle of Mr. Keely 'sj engine is that it convert water into a cold vapor, more povvc rful and elastic than steam, without any agency other than a mere mechanical appliance. When Mr. Keely'a discovery was first brought to tho notice of scientific men much inouirv was excited, and it was - rro-i i a - nonnced by many to beaphilosophical impossibility. 'The machine was exhibited in operation. Its manner of producing this power was less obvious. The presence cf electric, magnetic, chemical, or other hidden agencies was suspected, and ' a close and ! searching investigation followed with the result of satisfying those who ex amined that the power was pro duced by a mechanical combination pure and winple. Mr. Keely originally expected to obtain a pressure of about 500 pounds to the bqnare inch, and applied it to a ; steam gaugo which had a measuring capacity of 2,500 .pounds; but the pressure produced was so enormous ' that the gauge' Was insufficicnt to register it, and be was' compelled to construct a mecbanism f designed expressly for the purpose. ! He then found that lie could pro- J duco pressure of more than ten r thousand pounds to tlie squai-e inch, 4 and that he could generate tbo i power in any volume required. It j is a peculiar quality of t the vapor j that it can be used at any prest uie from 10 pounds to 10,000 pounds to the square inch, and when onco generated it can be placed in receiving vessels and preserved with out loss of energy for an indefinite period. In the course of his experiments Mr. Keely has repeatedly charged an iron , receiver of a ca pacity of 3t gallons with a pressure of 10,000 pounds to the square inch, and retained it without appreciable loss of energy for a fortnight at, n time. Mr. Keely . is , Vuildiug n engine for practical purposes, and thinks that his invention will at no distant date, supersede steam..! His confidence is shared by cer lain capitalists in New York, who are so confident of tho racces3 of the invention that ., they .have ., iuade arrangements . to purchase a half interest in the State- of -,New York.

LetLje Standard calls at tention to tho gradual falling off in the cliaracter of American mechanics in point of "practical skill and , knowledge of their trades. Pursuing this idea it says:' " -; Of lato years-onr countrymen have beeu losing their prestige, and ! Bow we -find,' to very considerable l,axtait, tho .upiatoadence of .our large manufacturing establishments rdaced in the hands of tho mechan ics of the old world, and many of . our workshoDS aro filled by those who have been taught their handi craft in the manufactories of tho British Island, in France, Germany, and other European States. Their superiority is fast crowding out the unskilled labor of our own lantt. This is a painful reflection, but it is none the less true, and we may as well look the matter square in the face, and endeavor to find and apply a remedy." If it be true that the American mechanics are deteriorating, it is a matter of national concern, and tie serving of the gravest considei a lion. In a recent article we nailed attention to the growing indisposi tion of American youths to learn trades, and the elisinclination of parents to briner their boys up to ' manual labor An ultimate result . of this, we stated, would bo that ' the control of tho -various trades would eventually pass into the hands of foreigners. The LedgerStandard views the matter from a different stand point, and thinks the same result is being hastened ' by the gradual falling off in the character of American mechanics. The Bnbject is ono of the most important that can engage the attention of statesmen and politicr.l economists -Ind. JournalOut of the confusion and disgrace of the Clem case somo good may come, if it : shall result in calling attention to the neees-sity of a legal reform on one or two points. ' ' One reason alleged for entering the nolle prosequi in the case was, the witnesses were scattered, having moved to distant parts of tho conn try. Some provision should be made for preserving the testimony of witnesses, 'and preventing the ' ends of justice from being defeated by such means. It is worth coneidering, also, whether the Govern or should not bo empowered in certain contingencies to continue criminal prosecutions, at the ex pense of the State, rather than that the law should fail of execution entirely. There may be other points of legal reform which w ill suggest themselves to professional minds. Some member of the Indianapolis bar, who is familiar with the whole case, onerht to prepare a thorough . review of it for publication in some law .magazine, ; giving a complete ' history of it, with the legal points involveel at every stage, and pointing out tho defects of the law by which the woman has 1 finally triumphed.

It explains itself: All poor, aged women of this State, who aro without means of providing for or taking care of themselves, c-r who are without comfortable homes, are requested to send their names and postofiice addresses to Wm. Mact, Jr., Mooresville, Morgan co., Ind. . . P. S. All persons' tnowing of any aged and destitute women are requested to aid in this matter by sending their names and addi esses to the above address. ' The object sought to be attained is the establishment, under the supervision and patronage of the Society of Friends, of a home for aged, indigent women, for whom . no adequate provision is made by the public. There is a large number, doubtless, of poor, respectable women in the State, who, friendless and alone,' have no- other depen' ' deuce than the alms house to keep '. themselves . from want and starva . tion, and it is for the , benefit of 1 these that this movement is inaugnarted. . ; .
