SECOND EDITION.

TWO KDITIOXB

Of this Paper are published. The FIRST EDITION, on Friday Evening, has a large circulation among farmers and others living outside of the city. The SECOND EDITION,on Saturday Even-

Ing, goes into the hands of nearly every reading person In the city. Every Week's Issue Is, In fact,

TWO NEWSPAPERS,

In which all Advertisements appear for ONE CHARGE.

"KATE PARKMAN'S Wedding Days," from tho November number of Scribner's Monthly, which commences on the first page of this week's Mail, and runs through the second and third pages, is f-.r above the average magazine story of the day, and contains passnges of remarkable originality and power.

TYNDALL S "PRAYER GAUGE." The proposition of Prof. Tyndall— full mention of which was made at the lime in tho The Mail—to establish "a prayer gauge" as a test of the efficacy of petitions to the ltuler of the Universal, has caused such a stir in the religious world as to draw from hiin an explanation of his position.

In a second contribution to tho Contcniporay Iteview, in which periodical hi* objectionable article appeared, he repudiates tho idoa that he is a foe to religion, or even that he is opposed to prayer. The bone ot contention he asserts to bo "the physical valuo of prayer," not its moral eHect, and In considering the question of prayer as a form of physical energy, or as an cquivalant of such energy, he claims the right of subjecting it to the methods ol examination from yvhich all our present knowledge oT tho physical universe is derived.

Professor Tyndall admits the theory that tho system of Nature is under the control of a Being who changes phenomena in compliance with the prayers of men to be a perfectly legitimate one. If rendered futile by being associated with conceptions that contradict, it does not follow that such conceptions torm necessary part of the theory. With the knowledge that a wise and tender earthly father listens to and grants tho proper requests of his children, io the extent of changing, within certain limits, the current events of tho earth, it is no departure from scientific method to place behind natural phenomena a universal Father, who, in answer to the prayers of Ilis children, alters tho currents of those phenomena. JJut the purely scientific mind desires physical verification of theories dealing •with physical phenomena, and at this point Professor Tyndall and his critics part company. He desires to subject tho physical value ot prayer tothesame tests applied to ordinary physical phenomena and against this tho religious sentiment revolts.

At tho samo time Professor Tyndall professes great respect for tho feeling which prompts prayer, aid. says it is not his habit of mind to think otherwise thnn solemnly of it. It is a potency which ho proftssrs a desire to see guided, not extinguished, ''devoted to practicable objocts, instead of was ed upon air." In some form or other ho thinks it may be necessary to man's highest culture, and says whilst foolishness, bigotry, and intolerance turn prayer into an engine of folly and ferocity, it is by others turned to enduring sweetness, holiness, abounding charity, and self-sacrifice. Tt may strengthen the heart to meet lile's losses, and thus indirectly promote physical well-being,as the digging of .Ksop's orchard brought a treasure of fertility greater than the treasure sought.

This statement of Professor Tyndall's position materially changes the attitude In which his previous injudicious publication placed him before the world, the

whilst it will not entirely allay

"Is Senator Morton jealous?" is a question asked by the Indianapolis People, and then that paper goes on to say that some folks have the Idea, or profess to have, that Senator Morton cannot bear to have any rivals and does all he can to push them aaide whenever they come in his way. Now we can hardly believe this, for the Senator is such a bright particular star that be can afford to have other satellites revolving around him and not have his own luster diminished thereby. Rulus Mageo, of the Logansport Pharos, la one of thoao who will have it that Morton has a political graveyard wherein he buries his rivals. A recent number of that journal contained the following

That was "the unkindeat cut of all" which Morton gave Browne in a recent speech In Chicago. Morton, in giving a reason for the defeat of Browne, said that the temperance people had voted for Hendricks, and that it waa charged and believed that Browne was a drunkard. If this waa so, did anybody hear Morton defend General Browne, or deny the charge. Not him. He secretly enjoyed it, knowing that once tho impression prevaled with the people tliat Browne waa a drunkard, his usefulness waa forever gone, and one block in the path of his ambition removed. Morton don't like rivals, and fearing Browne, has secretly given him a thrust from which he will never recover. l' or Urowne, happy Mprtpu,

THE HORSE DISEASE. The first reports that reached ns of the horse plague were believed to be lor the greater part sensational, but this week the reports from the large cities are such as betoken the most serious and alarming results, unless the disease is checked or speedily runs its course. Never before did people realize hoyv intimately tho horse is associated with the prosperity of civilized nations, and how terribly disastrous it is to deprive the human family, even temporarily of the services ot the noble quadruped. Business rests, to a considerable extent on a basis of horse flesh, and the results of a sudden and entire deprival of tho use of horses in transacting tho business of mankind may bo imperfectly imagined and scarcily described. Already in several of the eastern cities the horse cars have stopped running, or a portion of the cars have been withdrayvn. Commerce is fettered by the want of horses to draw loads from wharves to yvarehouses and from the stores of merchants to the houses of consumers. Business, manufactures and industry are partially paralized, and great inconvenience is experiecced in consequ?nce. In the country the horses upon the farms are seriously aflected, and the usual busi iiess connected with agriculturo, in which horses usually assist, is prosecuted at disadvantage, or has to be sus pended altogether. Upder these circumstances it is difficult for many farmers to reach the markets, and there is a limited supply of provisions in the great towns,

In considering the curious matter, which is serious in its consequences, it is our duty to pay a passing tribute to steam. Suppose this mighty motor, the giant laborer ot modern times, had not boen invented, and was without its appliances to the movement of wagons and boat$, what yvould have been the condition upon the community in which therowas no steam andtheusual stock of horses wasjncapable of service? There would be a cessation of many de partments of industry altogether. Want would bo experienced in country and towns of the common necessities of life. Produce trould bo destroyed for want of transportation, and the community would pass through an ex perieuce of trouble and distress which might have not only its disagreeable accompaniments, but yvould be attended with personal suffering, starvation and death.

The disease is known among veterin arv surgeons as epizootic influenza. The first symptoms noticeable are a light hacking cough, general dullness, cold ears and legs, and indisposition to move and watery discharge from the nostrils. At lirst the nasal membrane is pale but as the disease advances it becomes highly colored and the muscous discharge changes to a greenish yellow: the pulso groyvs more rapid, the throat sore, tho breathing difficult and at last tho lungs are fatally involved. It is evidently contagious and tho best kept horses are liable to it, as appears lrotn its developement among the horses of tho Toronto and Montreal fire brigades but is found to be most prevalent and fatal among animals ill kept and exposed much to iuclement weather.

It is not necessarily fatal, but must be treated on its first appearance by giving the aniuial absolute re»t, with warmth, dryness and soft food, aided by occasional doses of mcdicine—such as veterinary surgeons use as febrifuges and aperients. It is said to be safer, however, to be very sparing with cathartics and rely chieitly on mashes to keep tho bowels right and to save the life of the animal attacked, it is necessary to give him entiro rest and good musing lrotn the first symptom throughout the long period of his slow recovery. i,\r

A I'IjEA.sant skctch of Wyoming society is given by a yvriter in the New York Post. Aftea telling of tho hospitality of Laramie Citj-, and tho "at home" feeling even the stranger experiences there, lie says: "There is one thing yvhich perhaps explains tho admirable condition of society there. NVomen voto in Wyoming Territory and hold office there. They vote at the same titno and place as the men and we are told there is no confusion or commotion at the polls. On tho contrary, the highest respect is shown by the men to tho women voters, and we are assured that if any oneahould offer tho slightest disrepect or insult to a woman at the polls he would be summarily dealt with on the spot." So much for the impropriety of women attending elections. Of the women as jurors, this is what be learned of them: "It appears that the women, mindful of their high duties and solemn responsibilities, endeavor toprepare themselves far the work of each day by humbly seeking Divine assistance by prayer—a service not specially observed by the men. Tho result was, however, that in a abort time all the jurors began the day by joining in the religious services of the morning." The city, under the rale of women, has been freed to a wonderful extent from objectionable characters, drinking and gambling saloons, and does well as an example of the result of the office-holding experiment.

WITH our extensive system'of telegraph and railroad communications, which enables us to know the result of an election at the most distant point in the country within a lew days and the result of a Presidential contest the next day, we can thoroughly pity the poor Mexicans who hope to know by the first of December whether the present incumbent, Lerdo de Tejado, whose election was unopposed, hss been elected or defeated.

KKHE-HAUTE SATMlDA EVENING AII,. NOVEMBER 2. 1S72.

HENRY WARD BEOCHER has been before the public lor a generation, and his known good deeds far outweigh tho the malicious and improbable story that has just been sent broadcast over the country through the revived Woodbull fc Claflin's Weekly, by Mrs. Woodhull, an outcast from society, a woman who, after selling her ovpn residence, would not be received into any respectable hotel or boarding house in New York City. Until the ehargo against Mr. Beecher comes from some more respectable source, The Mail will not repeat the infamous slander. Woodhull Claflin's Weekly should bo suppressed, and"that summarily.

Iloyv these Western towns dogroyv! Independence, Kansas, lor instance, has just completed tho third year of its existence, and has three thousand poplation, three banks, a $55,000 public school house, a railroad, a large flouring mill, and several fine hotels and churches, besides a large number.of elegant and stylish residences and three newspapers. .,

THE pulpit that during the war experienced some bard words from parishoners who ''didn't want the minister preaching pelitics." has, so far, in this campaign, we believe, very generally escaped the charge of transcending its distinctively religiously or educational functions.

ON Tuesday next the long political struggle, of which mention has generally been made.in tho papers, yvill be ended, and yvo shall know yvhetber Grant or Greeley will bo at the head of this nation for four years to come

MRS. HORACE GREELEY died at four o'clock on Wednesday morning. She had been an invalid for a number of years and the intelligence of her death was not unexpected.

THE pressure upon our advertising columns again prevents mention of a number of topics yve bad "blocked out" for this week.

THE prico of block coal has advanced once cent the past week.

THE Democratic Temple has not been used sinco the October election.

THE oil yvell at Kightsville, Clay county, is doyvn to a depth of 1,500 feet.

WE ought to have a free bridge over the Wabash before a new court house Is erected.

BUCKWHEAT flour sells in this municipality at Vi cents a pound—just twicc tbo price ol yvlieat flour. Why?

THE cattle now ford the river, just above the Main street bridge, yvbere at no point is the yvater abovo a man's wasit.

THE water in tho streams, wells and springs hereabouts was never so low, within the memory of oldest residents as now, and serious apprehensions aro felt if thc.yvinter sets in without heay'y rains having fallen.

ISA.*C M. IhtoyvN has sold his Union newspaper at Sullivan to Uriah Coulson. While wesball miss Mr. Brown's weekly visits, we welcome Mr. Coulaon, who is a gentleman of ability and industry, to the editorial ranks.

WE wonder that a company of men do not buy the land in and about the village of Maxville, one mile weat'of the city, and build up a little town. With one or more free bridges over the Wabash, which we muat have at no distant day, Maxville would not bo a poor locality for surburban homes.

THE saloons of this citv are now, since cool weather set in, very generally closed on Sunday—that i* to say the the front doors are closed—and hundreds of people are put to the unnecceasary trouble of going around to the rear, where generally will be found signs directing the eager footsteps, the same as in front. The shutting up of saloons in that way doesn't add much to tho present dry season.

NEWSPAPER Co AXOK.—The newspaper salo we referred to last week, was the Evening Gazette, and the change took effect yesterday evening. The new proprietors are Will ('. Ball, J. S. Dickerson and Chris. Roderus. The latter will have charge of the mechanical department. Measrs. Ball and Dickerson are gentlemen of talent, industry, and, with" an ardent love for journalism, will doubtless make a paper acceptable to their readers. Messrs. Hudson A Rose retain the Sob printing establishment—the latter holding a two-third interest.

AN Old Folks Concert ia contemplated this city the coming winter.

THE people of Indianapolis have to pay twenty cents a bushel for the coal 'wo buy for fifteen cents.

A CONSIDERABLE amount of work awaits the Criminal Court next week yvhich will be rapidly dispatched.

THE Mail is largely circulated by an enterprising nowsboy in the village o? Maxsvillo, one mile west of the city.

THE zeal with yvhich prominent Grant men in this city have encouraged tho O'Conor movement has made votes for Greeley.

THE horse doctors all over the country are airing their knowledge and getting free advertising by telling yvhat they know of the horse epidcmic.

THE Express makes its change of publication from Monday to Sunday morning to-morrow. This will be the first Sunday paper over printed in this city.

THE Evening Gazette appeared yesterday ovening, under tho new management, mentioned elsewhere, reduced in size and price—a very sensible move. «'-3

TnE merchants of Brazil, Clny county, have formed a Mercantile Association, and agreed to give credit to no one who proves delinquent in sottling "that little bill."

THE murder trial ot Miller yvill be short—only two or threo yvitnessos bo bo examined. He yvill probably be placed in tho penitentiary for a number of years, yvhero be can do no further harm. -v

SHOULD the sinall-pox re-appoar in this city it yvill be comforting to know that it is only tho cscapo of superflous albuminous substance into the tissues of the periphery of the body. We don't •believe that the great and good Dr. Sam Dodson kneyv that.

THE coal oil fever has entirely collapsed in this city. The Cherry street well is barely paying expenses, and Mr. Rose does not seem disposed to operate his well. Thero is plenty of tho oleaginous stuff beneath us,-but it is a little toofar Chinayvard.

J. A. PARKER'S Eaglo Ironworks are just now putting up some heavy work, including seventy pipes, yveighing about a ton each for the new blast furnace, engines lor Iludnut's llominy Mill and a large flouring mill, and two hundred coal bank cars.

PEOPLE may be at a loss to know what Cliff fc Williams do with all the "truck" they turn out of the Praiiie City Planing Mills, but yvhen it is known that besides this city they supply a largo scope of country for miles roundabout, the secret is explained.

THE best, or at least, tho most demonstrative critics of a performance will usually bo found in tho upper gallery of tho Opera House. Certain it is, that their applause and biases will very generally determine tho favor with which a performance is received by a majority of the people.

HUSBANDS, jealous of their wives, will be interested—and tho yvives, too, for that matter—in knowing that the acting Post Master General has decided that letters can only be delivered to the person to'whom they nro addressed. In tho case before tho Department a husband demanded letters written to his wife, but yvas refused them.

THE growth of the money order system has beon wonderful. Tho postoffice in this city the month just closed did the largest business that has ever before been recorded here during a single month. Thr£6 hundred and ninetythroe orders yvere issued to the amount of $6,235.20 and 337 orders were paid, amounting to 9G,777.0f».

BORN ON TNE ROAD.—Thursday afternoon Jackson Welch, a farmer residing in Edgar county, Illinois, was on his way to this city. A few miles from town his wife, who accompanied bim, discovered that thero yvas an immediate prospect of an increase in that Stu ktr family. The whip was liberally and vigorously applied to the horses, but this hastened the crisis, and before reaching^ the bridge a bouncing boy, born in the wagon box, yvas added to the load. Arriving in town the trio were soon domiciled at the wife's sister's, on Twelfth street, where they still remain—"mother and son doing well."

DID it ever occur to The Mail reader that in some matters a railroad resembles greatly a human being? In its infancy they have to put it in its little bed, and as it progresses it has ties that bind it. The engine may be coal hearted at times, and rides rough *hod o'er every lie, yet it has its tefidt attachment. There are times, however when, if asked to tako a drink, it will lend you an ear. It's an engin-eer, of course. Xike the ladies iit has ts switches, and performs its jule-c, and notwithstanding the fact that at times a little mix may occur, people must and will use the railroad.

LAURA KEENE.

As wo predicted, an immenso audionce gathered at the Opora House last Saturday evening, drawn by the fame of Miss Laura Keeuo. The performance has been severely criticised by the cityi^f press. Some of this was unjust to.e Miss Keene, yvho has prepared an eiifi: tertainment adapted to the lyceum.!^ Two classes of people were disappointed—and these two classes embraced nearly the entire audience. One classf expected to see a full dramatio perform-1 ance—tho other plain readings, recitations and music. An attempt was: made to please both, and as a conso-? quence, a failure. In our opinion thero yvas more talent than taste displayed by the ''combination." In the quartetto of artists there yvas sufficient talent to have produced a very interesting' entertainment. Tho mass of people who go to theatricals do not care for artistic piano playing in which expert fhigering and variations obliterate al^ semblance ot melody. Clara Stella,! while she might have been passable in! a plain ballad, selected music in whichj, "comparisons were odorous," nnd Iho concluding piece, wherein a blase old' woman of fifty, or more, attempted tho( role of a gay and dashing young widow,y was not calculated to send aj audience home iu a good humor. In short, tho entire affair was very much liko tho| effect upon an audieuoo assembled to! hear a negro minstrel performance, and! when all aro galhered, a preacher comes' out and delivers a dry theological discourse.

LANORISH E COMEDY COMPAN V. C. W. Mitchell, tho general agent of this combination is now in the city ar-m ranging for a season six nights at tho. Opera House next yvoek. when will be. producod the leading and most popular comedies of the day. Tho company Is new to our people, but cotnfs bearing? the most flattering testimonials of tho press. The State Journal, i«t Springfield, yvbere the company is playing this? week, says: "It is rarely that so excellent a company can bo seen, hero or elsewhere, and in commending thorn to liboral patronage wo simply perform am act of merited justice."

Popular rates of admission h'fl'Po b66iv fixed and seats can be secured at Bart let «fc Co's Central Book Storo.

AMUSEMENTS AITKAD.

A no rts COMPOSITION. A policeman has good times. Ho can wear good clothes, flnd go where ho likes. I wish I was a policeman, so that 1 could go to all the shows that como iu town. A policeman likes to fight. When he sees two fellers fighting he generally takes a hand in tho muss and tho fellers out of it. Tho only thing I've got against a policeman in, that they koep bad company. When they seo a drunken man in tho streetthey take a walk with him, nnd introduce him to tho Mayor. Most all po-. liceman swear. I havo heard them take oaths in tho court-room. Some policeman aie big and some are little. The little policeman aro smaller than lie big ones. When a feller gets drunk ho thinks ho can lick a dozen policemen, but he always finds himself mistalcon. Some folks think policemen will steal a watch from a drunken man, but they arc mistaken. If a policeman wants watch ho goes around looking for a feller who is drunk, and when ho finds him be shakes him up pretty lively,? and sometimes a watch falls out on tho ground and tho policemah picks it up. This is not stealing. The policomenly who walk around nights are called night watches, bccauso they find watches nights. Most policein »n kocp their coats buttoned up for foarof losing their money, They also wonr brass buttons on their coats, and when they resign or aro exchanged cut thorn off and sew on black ones, Policemen lJko to go to balls and eat ham and things. The reason why policemen blow their whisties is to give burglars and rowdies notice to get out of the way, as there is as policeman standing round who does not want to get shot. This is all 1 know about policemcu.
