Of this Paper are published. The FIRST EDITION, on Friday Even Ing, has a large circulation among fanners and others living outside of the city. The SECOND EDITION, on Saturday Evening, goes into the hands of nearly every reading person in the city. Every Week's Issue is, In fact,

IN these modern days of so-called social progress and social reform, it is a fact worthy of record that there is bat one case of divorce in the judicial history of Virginia from the foundation of the Commonwealth down to the present time.

the

ST. Louis is still aneasy at prospect of becoming an inland city. The Mississippi still demonstrates toward Illinois, threatening to cut a channel around Bloody Island. The river banks as high up as the month of the Missouri, are in a state of serions di lapidation.

IT is estimated that 20,000 innocents are now on their way from California to the diamond diggings in Arizona. It won't be long until these 20,000—ragged, hungry, foot-sore and savage—will be found wearily trudging the back trail, in a fit humor for hanging the man who first set afloat the diamond stories.

THE Election in Maine resulted in a Republican majority of about 16.000. All five of the Republican Congressmen were elected. In 1868 Maine gave Grant a majority of 28,000, but the result on Tuesday shows a Republican gain of more than five thousand over last year and three thousand on the average majority for the. last four years.

IN Iowa women hold offices as notaries public, four are county superlndents of public schools, and one is State librarian. Though not allowed to vote, the Iowa women can be voted for, and be legally competitors with the other sex for an elective office. This is a step in advance of Illinois, where women can hold appointive but not elective offices.

TITE Boston Journal thinks the strangest example of a "stitch in time" is the custom which prevails among the Dutch families living in the Cats kills, that of preparing their own grave clothes. They take great pride in fash ionlng themot the finest materials and making them up in the daintiest manner. If the owner lives long enough for them to become yellow with age they give place to new and fresh ones

THE many people who were heard complaining of the tardy season in the early days of June are now silent on the subject. Evidently old Dame Nature must believe herself avenged upon those who seemed to distrust her. The weather has made up nobly for its late commencement like a man who marries late in life sometimes makes the most attentive and ardent of husbands, tho summer of 1872 has been ardent enough in all conscience. Those partially sunstruck, however, can find consolation in the fact that in the year 1816 there was frost hereabouts in every month of the twelve, and that ice froze anlich in thickness in June, July and August.

AIKEN, the Now York burglar-police-man, has been sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. This is a severe but just punishment. His case was exceptional, and the law's promptness in disposing of his case exceptional also. The policeman owes more to society than the thief. He is trusted to guard our property and our live*. When he stoops to take either, he adds additional enormity to the common crimes of larceny and murder. The enemy is expected to kill, but the friend never. If, therefore, the latter dofs commit the crime, he betrays society in its effort to protect Itself. Aiken was a burglar and a thief. Proved guilty on two indictments, he plead guilty to a third. Twenty years is a long time but the sentence is not severe. He proved guilty to a sacred trust, and he has received the traitor's reward.

WORK in the rolling-mills in the hot weather must be desperate employment, and one of the Pensylvmnia papers, in the Iron-working regions, tells how the labor of most of the rollingmill men, who work by the ton, commence* In the morning. t)urlng the early part of the day the heat, though Intense, Is patiently borne with the body clothed but between 12 and 3 o'clock, when rolls, furnace®, and Iron are all hissing hot, the endurance of the men la taxed to the utmost, The thermometer marks from 125 to 135 degrees of heat. Shirts dripping with perspiration are discarded, and the muscular development may be studied to good advantage. Pants are wet and steaming hotly, and even shoes must occasionally by emptied of the sweat thai runs iuto Ihtrn.

FAIRS.

The word which heads this article has been used in a new sense in the past few years, lor fairs, as we now understand them, are entirely modern Institutions. They have now a larger signification. In the old acceptation of the term, and even according to Its present definition in Webster's Dictionary, a fair in "a gathering of buyeaa and sellers assembled with their merchandise at a stated or regular season, or by special appointment for the exhibition of wares and the conduct of business." That definition poorly and untruly describes our annual State and county fairs. In the first place there are no "buyers and sellers." Our great Institution If It have a mercenary motive at all, has one that lar exceeds the ordinary grade of vender and purchaser. Some new word should be coined to properly express this rivalricdisplay of the products of the garden, field and orchard, of the newest and bost breeds of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry and other domestic animals the latest works of science and art, new inventions and discoveries, and the useful and ornamental things which enter into civilized life.

It is said that in the British Museum in London there are specimens of all animate and inanimate creation that ofthe former everything that walks, or crawls, or creeps, or flies is represented that during an inspection.or rather a series of inspections, something like two hundred thousand objects pass before the retina of the eye. Now, although our faiis are scarcely comparable to such an exhibition, nor would it be right to make comparisons between the two, yet there are some similitudes. Our fairs, to a certain extent, ape even such an Institution as that mentioned. While fairs, under the old definition, were limited almost exclusively to a display of live stock, our modern fairs more pretentiously aim at the arts and sciences. Hence we have paintings, sculptures, photographs, and all the kindred modes of taking pictures, textile fabrics of all descriptions, needlework, the work of the housekeeper, and all mechanical contrivances. In a word, our modern fair—especially the State exhibitions—embraces the whole encyclopedia of the arts and sciences, and a vast deal, more, nd literally verifies Solomon's statement that "there Is nothing new under the sun."

The season of fairs is with us. Several of the counties adjoining us haye held their annual exhibitions, and have in each been cuccessful. Next week the annual exhibition of the Vigo Agricultural Society will be held on the grounds adjoining this city, universally admitted to the handsomest In the West. The officers and directors of the Association have performed well their part, and it now remains for the farmers, the mechanics, the ladies, the business men and all citizens of this city and county to say whether it shall be a success. This can be done by putting articles on exhibition and by general attendance of all. Let every one take an Interest in making it the most extensive and most interesting exhibition of the kind ever gotten up in Western Indiana.

DEAD LETTERS.

What the blundering and ignorance of our people will do in the matter of misdirecting their correspondence, may be understood by a recent official statement put forth by the Dead Letter Department of the Post Office. Three millions of letters went to the Dead Letter Office last year, containing a sum exceeding three millions of dollars in money, drafts, checks, and so forth. Ninety-two thousand dollars of this was in cash. It is estimated that on an average every letter that goes iato the office loses a dollar to some one. Fif-ty-eight thousand letters bad no county or State direction, four hundred thousand lacked stamps, and three thousand were posted without any address at all. Of the four hundred thousand letters going to the Dead Letter Office for the want of stamps, a portion probably were stamped, and Uncle sam's imperfect glue would not stick. The extraordinary facts thus reported ought to have the effect of making our people more careful in stamping, addressing and mailing their letters. &

LONE WOLFE, the pretty name of a Kiowa chief, is a modest Indian. At the peace talk, held at Cheyenne, he said that all be wanted was the United States to remove its soldiers from the Kiowa territory and that before peace could be made with the Kiowas, the whole country, from the Rio Grande to the Missouri, must be restored them. Peace with Kiowas is so precious a thing that we recommend Gen. Grant to call for three hundred thousand troops, dispatch them to the territory named, drive off the whites, kill all that do not move willingly, and hand over the stock and houses and cultivated farms to the Indiana. This is the only way in which peace can be preserved with the Kiowas, save the way which Phil Sheridan took to do itr"trlplng them out" entirely.

ICB is still regarded in Europe as a luxury only attainable by the wealthy. Its use In English households as an article of dally consumption is unknown, and even among the more expensive classes of hotels ice is used sparingly and in small quantities. Paris, we are told, has been without ice during the hot weather, and butchers, fishers and other dealers in provisions have suffered heavy losses from the heat. The deep cellars of the city have been resorted to as refrigerators.

SATURDAY EVENING MAIL. SEPTEMBER 14. 1872.

Barnum has bought Lent's circus. New Orleans was never healthier than at present.

Kansas farmers are raising small patches ol cotton. St. Louis claims the best_ fire department in the world.

American cars are to bo placed upon English railroads.

A Kansas railroad keejjs a surgeon to look after its victims. More peoplJ have been drinking snakes in Pittsburgh.

Ohio has but one life Insurance company, the Union Central. Brazil is having a route surveyed for a railway to the Pacific coast.

Buffaloes have come in nearer tho settlements this year than usual. The Gentiles are building somo beautiful residences at Salt Lake City.

New York objects to having the gloom of funeral processions spread over her pleasure parks.

Jerusalem has been lighted with gas, and it Is proposed to run street cars up the slopes of Mount Zion.

A burglar put his hand Inside of a jeweler's window at Leavenworth, and a cat bit one of his fingers off.

The greatest mass of solid iron in the world is the Iron Mountain of Missouri. It is 350 feet high and two miles in circuit.

A jaguar, or American tiger, made a sensation last week by attacking a herd of cattle near Oakland in Jewell county, Kansas.

It is stated that of the 364 railroads in the States, only 104 pay dividends, the other 260 never paying anything at all to the stockholders.

A train on tho Kansas Pacific Railroad was obliged to run back sixty miles, a lew nights ago, to find a detached sleeping car.

The newspapers are still discussing the "Mormon Problem." They had bettor wait until the Mormons "give it up" before they attempt to solve It.

Among the latest patent contrivances designed to stop runaway horses is a pair of blinders, by which the driver, on pulling a cord, instantly and effectually blindfolds the animal.

A body of Austrian firemen were obliged to stand still with their apparatus and watch the burning of a Russain villagS, just across the line, because they had no passports, and the soldiers refused to let them pass.

Swiss papers say that the ordinary trains are not sufficient for the increased traffic caused by the unprecedented number of American tourists, and that the railway companies have supplemented the usual seryiee by putting on extra trains.

So extensively is the adulteration of tea now carried on In China that Mr. Medhurst, the British Consul atShanghae, wrote that 53,000 pounds of willow leaves were in course of manipulation at one port alone, to be mixed with tea tor shipment, at the ratio of from 10 to' 20 per cent.

THE three-cardmonteswlndle has obtained to a degree, lately, requiring summary proceedings. People may say of those taken In, "It serves them right—they ought to read the newspapers." The swindlers of this age present a plausibility which would almost seduce the evil one himself. Apropos of this subject, the Kansas City Bulletin says:

The Hannibal and St. Joe Railroad Company have adopted a plan that seems likely to rid their road of the three-card monte swindlers who infest trains about this city. Each conductor is provided with a number of large cards bearing this inscription "Beware of Three Card Monte and Confidence Men." Whenever any of these gentry are discovered aboard a train, the conductor goes into the car and puts up the warnings over the door where everybody can see them. It makes the manipulating gentleman wince and swear and beg, but the sign stays there to their sad discomfiture. If all the roads would adopt some snch

lan, there would be fewer robberies these men to report.

SAID a very old man, "Some folks are always complaining about the weather, but I am always thankful when I wake up In the morning and find any weather at all." We may smile at the simplicity of the old man, but his language indicates a spirit that contributes much to a calm and peaceful life. It is better and wiser to cultivate that spirit than to be continually complaining of things as they are.

THERE is one odor whose ^(Hbifence cannot be disguised. The onien is aa truthful as the sun. It is not ashamed of its family relations or its family smell. It is remarkably nutritious, containing twenty-five or thirty per cent, of gluten, and Is beneficlent in its effects upon the health of those who are not ashamed of it. It is a vegetable not eaten by young ladles who are the sylpbldes of fashionable drawingrooms, although many of them would give a flirtation sometimes for a nice dish of beefsteak and onions. We are sorry for them, for they would give the glow of health to wan faces. Cannot our chemists exorcise the bouquet onionf

MATRIMONIAL.—Cases ol moral heroIsm In the commission of matrimony are so rare as to command universal: otice and admiration, and to evoke-'

ft,

ingredients employed. Some of them act as violent poisons In the system.

A COTEMPORARY remarks that "it is a fact that a newspaper can hardly record the absurdities of aii amateur theatrical performance without being threatened with vengeance in some shape or other, so impatient do people become of plain speaking, and, indeed, of all criticism which is not laudatory.'

up to the matrimonial scratch so unsteady, so "groggy" so "shaky on our pins," as though it wasa fearful ordeal. The usual plan is to conduct the whole affair with a secrecy at once solemn and ridiculous. We venture to say that there was never a man who went" into the County Clerk's office and procured a marriage license with tho same*' air of self-possessed propriety which' he called Into service in his ordinary business matters. He would ten times rather ask the loan of a hundred dol-" lars—especially If be was of sure of getting it. Either he is sheepish,'.mysterious or jocose either he calls and whispers to the clerk in one corner, after standing on ono leg for some time In th office, or assumes with a painful efforfc an air of nonchalance and fires off ft stale joke flatly, to relieve the direful struggle in his breast. The idea that his particular case is of little Importance to the clerk or the general public seems never to enter his head, and his |conduct has no excuse in right or reason. Take the same man from and after the time he has been married, and note with what infinite pains he goes out of the way to let people know he Is married, how promptly he shows his prize to his admiring friends how grand he is in Benedictine sirs, as tbongh nobody had ever been married before him, or would follow his example. Marriage should be treated as a reasonable contract, between reason able people, and no loolish pains should be taken to conceal the steps by which alone it can be reached. A man should get his marriage license and pay for it as he pays for his tax receipt. But we never expect to see it done. Human nature is weak, and such is life.

THE usual autumn extra ten thousand edition of The Mail, will be issued two weeks from to-day. It will go to every postofflce in this and the adjoining counties, and will be faithfully distributed at every business and private bouse, and to farmers on the streets in the principal towns contributing trade to this city. Business men will find this an excellent and cheap method for thorough advertising. All advertisements go in the regular city and country editions of that week.
