"HTJSKS AND NUBBINS." The introductory number of series of articles, under the significant beading of "Husks and Nubbins," will be found on the first page. The author is a scholarly gentleman, an easy, graceful writer and an earnest, deep thinker. "Husks and Nubbins" cannot iail to prove an attractive feature of the Mail.

"V NOW FOR WORK! The candidates are now all in the field, and war will wage in State and county politics for three months, with one more month for the great quadrennial crisis, the Presidential election three months and a tiger. Many hard things can be said and dene during these long autumn months. From now until sunset on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, the chief business of the people of this great na tion will be to save the country. How we tremble at the impending danger, In every ward of every city, In ever village, hamlet, and at the cross-roads, wherever two or three electors can be congregated, let the awful crisis be bruited abroad. We must not neglect the customary amount of union-saving, It is true, Presidents have been renominated, re-elected, and the country profited by their four years experience But it is a dangerous experiment. Let the burning tar barrel, the blazing toroh, the mounting sky-rocket blazen forth the dreadful danger to be averted. So should the booming cannon, the hoarse voiced orator, the resounding cheer, and the unmusical tiger, volley forth the terror of the crisis, that the oountry, which we all love, and for

which

"wo are willing to sacrifice our

wife's relations," may grow in prosperity, strength and honor. "The crisis which was to have arriven, have aiove," 'and "survive or perish," the country must be saved.

TJIK Journal still refuses to eat its fried crow, and is backed by quite a number of the Old Guard of the Democracy in this locality, who declare that their "foot is upon their native heath, and their name's Micawber," that they will never, no, never, vote for Greeley they will never stulify themselves by supporting a lifelong abolitionist, and the natural enemy of all their tribe. White man is very uncertain about these times, and things are very much checkered. Wo are oi the opinion that, if not badgered too much, they will all fall in as the campaign cauldron begins to boil. In this connection the St. Louis Times tells a good thing on Hon. D. oorhees. A gentleman in that city sent word to Voorhees that that "all his old friends were getting into the Greeley boat that he was too good a fellow to leave behind, and he had better come along too, before they shoved off." Voorhees received the message, and sent this back. He was pretty much in the condition, he wrote, of the boy at camp meeting, where nearly all the people had gone forward on the anxious benches, and he was left blooming alone. At last tho minister saw him and came up.

My young brother," said the preacher, "why do you sit here alone why not come to glory?"

All them gals goin' to glory f" asked the boy. Straight as a shingle," said the preacher.

No switchin' off, no nuthin "Through by daylight," answered the minister.

Well, Parson," said the b«y, '*if all them gals is a goin' to glory, I don't see as it's much use o' me a-whittlin' here by myaelf guess I might jest aa well go 'long too.''

TRRRE-HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING

THE SPEED OF RAILROAD TRAINS. There is one reform needed which may be set down as next to impossible. We refer to the reckless and dangerous speed of railroad trains. An experienced railway manager, who has recently returned from a trip across the continent, in conversation with the editor of the Cleveland Herald, descanted upon the reasonable and comfortable speed of tho Pacific railway. In his party were those who could not have endured the terific speed of our railways east of the Missouri, for over twelve hours without a rest, who made, at one pull, a ride of fifteen hundred miles on the Pacific railway and improved in strength and spirits every mile. This was owing to the moderate speed of tho train—about eighteen miles the hour. At such speed there is comfort, the mind and body are not nerved up to the cracking point as in a railway car whirling through the air at thirty miles the hour. At that terrific speed a passenger can see nothing outside of the car without painful effect upon the eyes, while reading or conversation inside are absolutely impossible. The consequence is, a ride of

twenty-fourhoursof

high speed utterly

exhausts most people, unfitting them for any kind of labor or recreation for the twenty-four hours thereatter, save quiet resting.

At the rate of eighteen miles the hour, with stops sufficient for a breathing—and, when necessary, a lunching time—a continuous journey, day anl night, is taken over the plains, arriving at the Pacific in as good condition as when you embarked. Tho journey from the Missouri to the Pacific can be made—extraordinaries excepted—with less fatigne than from this city to New York.

In speaking of railway consolidations, the New York Post says: "Where combination is possible, com"petition i3 impossible, and the efforts "of railroad men all over the country "are now directed to the combination "of their various lines. This is the "danger against which some provision "must be made."

Now there would be one compensation in a

general

combination destroy

ing competition would decrease speed. Decreasing speed would secure actual comfort to the passengers, weuld be a deliverance from nine hundred and ninety-nine "accidents" out of eyery thousand, and would reduce the expenses of running at least twenty-five per cent.

And yet let a twenty mile-the-hour through train be put on one of our eastern roads and it would not pay for the lubricating oil. We know the reform is impossible, but that does not change the tact that decrease of speed would lengthen lives, would save thousands of lives, would secure comfort, and would work great economy. ^,

"ON the second page of this week's Mail we give the sorrows of sentimental Amanda. She met her love in Washington. The gush of sentimentality— her moral tone at high pressure—determined her to marry him. The honeymoon included a Western tour. Her name was Miss Amanda Barber it is now Mrs. "Squatting Bear." Not remarkably euphonious, but sufficiently emphatic. Practical views of missionary duty, not love of Chief S. Bear of the Sioux tribe, produced the result. She felt it her "mission," her "sphere," to Saxonize and save the Sioux. This was in 1S67. She has ju3t returned and relates her experience in the hunting grounds of Dakota. She had not been there long before she wanted to go home. Squat subjected her to the most menial duties, abused her, beat her nearly to death for trying to escape, and finally convinced of her wortblessness as a good squaw drove a sharp bargain with a Cheyenne chief and got three ponies lor her. She escaped from the Cheyennes to Fort Benton, and arrived recently at Kansas City. She left immediately for Milford, Mass., the home of her parents, and the moral improvement of Lo and his family, 'interest her no more.

THE trial of Stokes is responsible for the severest satire upon the New York Judiciary that we have yet read. The counsel for the defense had undertaken to show that the prisoner should be acquitted because of the course of the courts toward him. An objection by Judge Ingraham produced the follow ing dialogue:

Mr. McKeon. Can't we go on and show that for several years ho had been endeavoring to get his legal rights, and, in consequence of tbe corrupt judiciary he could not do it

Judgo Ingraham. What has that to do wiui this transaction Mr. McKeon. The operation upon bis mind. We had got to a state of anarchy. -1

It is indoed significant that even the attempt can be made to justify murder because the corruption of the judiciary incites it.

Ax "eld printer" writes to Rowell's newspaper Reporter that in his 'prentice days Mr. Greeley was rather a lazy workman, given to constant arguments with his fellows, and apt to shy his 'stick' at their heads when they did not agree with him. Of course he got discharged. The writer says "I would add for the information of those who delight in calling Mr. Greeley the 'second Franklin,' instead ef the 'firsts Greeley' (as he should be called,) that he has no particular claim to being a printer, as he was a very poor workman in the business, preferring to make 'time* in tbe composing-room over a hot discussion of his pet theories, to peeoming proficient in the art of printing."

MAIL."JULY

MACBETH—THE WATER CURE. We leel satisfied that few persons are acquainted with the beneficial effects of the "water cure," and as all editors lay claim to being philanthropists we take pleasure in giving the readers of The Mail a new idea on this important subject. Shakspeare makes Macbeth ask: "Canst thon not minister to a mind diseased?" and the doctor gave him an evasive answer but the proprietor of this model water cure establighment gives no such indefinite replies, but comes boldly to the point.

What would you have done with Macbeth?" I once asked of a hydropathic doctor who had been vaunting the general excellence of his system, and was convinced that he could "minister With efficacy not only to a body but also to a 'mind diseased.'" "If we had him here we should wake him at six every morning," replied the fanatical doctor, "and wrap him in a damp sheet. Then, having further put a couple of dry blankets round him, we should leave him lying down for an hour or so. After a good hour of the damp sheet, the bathman would unwrap him, make him get up, and throw over him a sheet, this time not damp but dripping wet, and rub it into him all over from head to foot, until he had put him into a thorough glow. Then he would be told to put up his tartan quickly, and take a sharp walk. At eight o'clock breakfast, consisting of milk, or coffee and milk, bread and butter eggs if absolutely required. At eleven we should give him a Sitz-pad, and he would take another walk till dinnertime, half past one. After dinner we should recommend him to make an excursion, if possible in society. At seven o'clock he would come to a light supper consisting of eggs, or a little cold meat and stewed fruit, with milk, tea, or if it didn't seem to disagree with him, wine—not hot, stimulating wine, but a glass or two of sound Bordeaux, Rhine wine, or Moselle. At ten o'clock if he had walked sufficiently, he would be quite ready to retire to rest and at six the next morning tbe man with the damp sheet would be at his bedside again." "And would that sort of treat ment really drive away remorse?"] asked. "Not entirely," replied th doctor, "but it would bring about sucl a fine bodily condition that the pain would be reduced to a minimum, and what might still remain of the sentiment would at least not interfere with the performance of the ordinary business life."

Shades of Garrick and Kemble, could you return to this mundane sphere what would you think of Macbeth making his appearance .wrapped in a damp sheet, and still further encased in oouple of dry blankets. Just fancy the ghost of Banquo arising from the floor when Mao was comfortably squatted in his "Sitz-pad" making his breakfast ol milk, bread and butter, and eggs, and laughing at Banquo's feeble attempts to toR^h, his-conscience by his presence,

WE I£AVE often noted the fact that Chicagoans area peculiar people—that nothing is ever done by them in the same way that it would be anywhere else. The latest wrinkle they have got into their heads is divorce parties. The Times of that city says:

Divorce''parties are coming into fashion in this city. Our sodal philosophers say that all great questions pass through three stages, viz ridicule, argument, adoption. Chicagoans have bravely encompassed them all, so far as divorce is concerned, and as tbe world knows, now revel in undisputed luxury of full possession. In fact, divorce "has become a fashionable thing, and like all kindred events, such as births, and marriages, is celebrated with festive proceedings. The West Division witnessed an affair ol this sort one evening last week. There was a large gathering, and the newly-made widow received congratulations of friends and relatives with as much pleasure as would a newly-wedded wife after the ceremony of marriage. A handsome "divorce cake" was one of the features of tbe occasion. It was moan ted by a handsome monogram, "the letter "D," for divorce, being intertwined with the lady's name betfore her marriagp. There were also some highly suggestive presents. 4

"liECAusE our people "went back" on the narrow guage, it must not be imagined that this mode of transit is dead. A California engineer predicts that in ten years the whole country will be grid-ironed with narrow-guage railroads. The cost of these roads he estimates at $8,000 per mile. Passengers can be transported on them at one cent per mile, and freight at proportionately low rates. His plan is for farmers to b.uild them by subscription, for the purpose of conveying their products to market. He also claims that they will pay that wherever they have been constructed they have made handsome dividends, which is net generally the case, at least with a majority of the broad-guage roads. In Sweden and Norway these roads are coming into general use the construction of them is causing a demand for iron irom England.

THE extraordinary growth of the ofl business is strikingly illustrated by a quotation from the Titnusville Gazette twelve years ago—1860—and contrasting with the immense carrying capacity required by our railroads to transport the oil production now. Said the journal named in urging the necessity of railroads to the oil region—"We could now load two cars daily with oil." This was twelve years ago, and now tbe daily production is set down at 18,505 barrels per day, enough to load two hundred and fifteen cars. Probably no business in the country shows such an astonishing increase in so short a time. .'

THE first trial of Edwin S. Stokes, for the muder of Jim Fisk, was brought to a close on Monday morning last, by the jury failing to agree. The evidence brought forward to prove either that Fisk intended to kill Stokes, that Stokes was insane at the time of the shooting, or that the death of Fisk was caused by the doetors' probes, whother true or false, was sufficient to raise a "doubt," and we are not surprised at the jury failing to convict.

BARNUM'S latest, cheapest and best advertising dodge is to tender the gratuitous use of his largo show tent to the friends of either Presidential candidate, or both together, in which to hold their mass meetings at the closo of his afternoon performances.

JUST as we predicted, a call has been made for a Democratic United States Convention, to be held in the city of Louisville, Kentucky, the 3rd day of next September, for the purpope of organizing a Democratic party, and to put a straight-out Democratic Presidential ticket in the canvass.

TRAVELERin

Florida writes"This

is the land where towns consist of one house where steamboats make eight miles an hour where railroads carry you four miles an hour (on my honor they are four hours going sixteen miles fromTocoi to St. Augustine where the happy maxim rules, 'never do to-day what you can put off till tomorrow where the mail comes semioccasionally wliere the newspaper is almost as rare as a snow storm and where telegrams are unknown.

IT IS said that more clergymen are going to Europe this season than ever went before. The fact speaks well for the liberality of American congregations. If the clergyman's traveling expenses are paid by his parishioners, that shows their liberality directly and even if these recreating shepherds have to pay their own expenses, as many of them do, the indirect liberality of the sheep is demonstrated, because the fact that the preachers can afford to pay their own expenses is proof that they are given generous salaries.

THE intensely hot weather admonishes us to exercise tbe utmost care iu regard td our habits of daily life. It is an easy task to keep comparatively comfortable by observing a few sensible rules. Abstain from much eating and tho drinking of hot, fiery fluids. Eat light, wholesome food, work regularly, and sleep eight or ten hours. Above all, don't fret but keep cool, mentally, which will greatly aid you in keeping cool physically. With mind and body freo from irritation, a hot day can be passed very comfortably.

IN view of the alarming paragraphs current at this time of the year concerning persons who aro said to have died'from drinking or bathing in cold water "while overheated," it is well for the public to know that the danger in such cases arises from doing either of tbeihings in question after the body has begun to cool. While a man is in great heat he may take a cold plunge of draught with comparative impunity. Tlie peril lies in waiting to "cool off a little" before indulging in either luxury. .*
