SECOND EDITION.

TWO EDITIONS

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, onSan day Evening, 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.

LET Mrs. John Smith and "Husks and Nubbins" say what tbey please on the wife question, only let a woman be sure she is precious to her husbandnot useful, not valuable, not convenient simply, but lovely and beloved let her be the recipient of his hearty intentions let her feel that her cares and love are noticed, and appreciated and returned let her opinion be asked, her approval be sought, and her judgment respected in matters of which she is cognizant in short let her onlv be loved, honored and cherished in fulfillment of her marriago vow, and she will be to her husband, hor children and to society a well spring of happiness. She will bear pain and toil, and anxiety for her husband's love to her is a tower and a fortress. Shielded and sheltered therein, adversity will have lost its sting. She may suif r, but sympathy will dull the edge oi sorrow. A house with love in it—and by love we moan love expressed by words, and looks and deeds, for we have not the least spark of faith for love th"t never crops out—is to a bouse without love as a person to a machine—one is life, the other mcchanism. The unloved wo man may have bread just as light, a house just as tidy as the other, but the latter has a spring of beauty about her, a joyousness, a penetrating kindness to which the former is an entire stranger, The deep happiness of heart shines out in her face. She gleams over. It is airy and graceful, and warm and wel coming in her presence she is full of devices and plots and sweet surprises for hor husband and family. She has never done with the poetry of life. She herself is a lyric poem, setting herself to all pure and graceful un-lodies Humble household ways and duties have lor her a golden significance. The prize makes her calling high, and so the end sanctifies the means. "Love is heaven and heaven is love."

ELIZABETH CADY STANTON asserts very decidedly that Miss Anthony's chances of success in her cases are not aB small as people generally suppose. As to the statement that she has no law to stand upon, she cites Henry R. Selden's opinion. This gentleman at first refused to take hold of the case because he believed it was not backed by law. After reading, at the instance of Miss Anthony, 'the Federal Constitution and Its amendments,' and the debates theroon from time to time, with Ben Butler's report on the women's memorial to Congress, ho changed his opinion and bee mo very enthusiastic in support of client, declaring that there is law enough, not only to protect you in the exercis of the right to vote, but to enfranchise every woman in the land." Mrs. Stanton closes her note with the statement that this is not simply a question of woman's enfranchisement, but it ihvolvrs the settlement of Federal and State rights and powers, constitutional law, and republican institutions. sf

TitK indestructibility of the Jewish race makes them, in more senses than one, a "peculiar people." Some interesting researches into their physical condition in England revoal the fact that tho average life of Jew in Lon don is forty-nine years, while that of a Christian is only thirty-seven years. Of a given number of Christians only one-quarter will live to be sixty years old, while among the Jews one-quarter will live to seventy-one. Among children fourteen per oent. of tho Christian population die between one and five years of age, while only ten per cent, of the Jewish children die. It is said that the above facts hold good in this country also. The chances of life are certainly in favor of the Jews.

RECRUITS lor tho army are obliged to go through a very severe physical examination to determine if tbey are fit lor the hardships of the servlcc. To that examination must be also a mental test to determine if the recruit has moral courage, and is not afraid in the dark. Out at Fort Sanders, in Wyoming Territory, a cavalry soldier was court marshaled for disobedience of orders. Ha wasord red 10 mo nt guard, but refused, declaring that he was afraid to go on post, as he had once been run off his post by a ghost. The poor coward was found guilty and made to forfeit thn*e months pay.

THK Connecticut law does not permit the hanging of a condemned man until at least a year after his sentence. There are a ft»w people in New York City who would warmly fevor such a provision.

THR State Senate a not yet acted upon the Temper a n-e Bill, but the general impression at Indianapolis Is thai it will pass that body by a large majority.

rKRRE-HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL,

A NOVEL LOT'lEKY.

This is a practical age. The saying that "marriage ism

lottery"bashereto

fore been considered a mere metaphor, but a young lady up in a Chicago, that citv of easy divorce,proposes to make it a literal truth, by throwing herself upon the maket as a prize package. In a le't« to the Chicago Tribune, she expresses a desire "to be a lotteried off." One hundred thousand tickets are to be sold, the holder of the lucky number to become sole possessor of her band and heart, but iiot her lortune. He i* to have no other interest in the net profits of the lottery ihan such as the peculiar legislation of Illinois invests him with. She represeuis that she is "young, handsome, talented and attractive acknowledged by all in the cities where she has resided as the belle of society."

This is certainly a novel proposal. To license such a scheme, with such a capital prize, would give an impetus to gambling which the thunders of the pulpit and press would avail but little. Everybody would want to take a chance in such a piece of property at the low price of one dollar. Never a thought would there bo of "drawing an elephant!" The question what to do with the prize would admit of many interesting solutions. A married man already equipped in the matrimonial line, might turn her over to his less fortunate friend, while a young fellow not yet reconciled to the noose, might "lottery" her ofTagain'and make a good thing of it.

However, like all lottery managers, this young lady manifests a disposition to sell the tickets, pocket the proceeds, and yet, by some hook or crook, retain tho prize. She wants to be at liberty to give the winncr$500 in lieu of herself if she doesn't please to wed the lucky ticket holder. And then she wants to remain incog, till the'drawing is over. Wo fear that this young female has thrown away all that lends attraction to her scheme. No sane young man will give one dollar for the chance of getting the mitten in such a conspicuous manner, and pig in a poke would not bo a circumstance to the sastrous t-win lo th*t might be perpetrated with a woman in a poke. In drawing hor out, the unfortunrte young man might he "drawn in." If the young lady really means business she must annex no such repulsive conditions. Let each icket bear a bonafide photograph of herself, tho prize unconditionally subject to the option of the winner, and plenty of fools will be found to take shares.

MEN may complain now of exorbitant milliner's and dress makers bills, but the children of to-day, when grown, will think their father's were miserly and unreasonable, unless something is done to check their extravagance in dress. This foolish extravagance is not confined to the grownup women. At a recent juvenile party in Brooklyn one little girl, or rather a young lady, of 9 years who, in addition to powdered hair and dazzling costume wore a pair of diamond earrings, a gold chain, and a watch studded with diamonds. Upon each arm was a bracelet Of elaborate workmanseip. Another child of seven summers was dressed in a rosecolored silk, §7 per yard, trimmed with three point applique flounces a galaxy of diamonds and other expensive jewelry a goid belt, tho buckle of which was literally covered with diamonds a band of gold encircled the head, and from a pendant attached sparkled a solitaire of great value. Her ioolish mother was heard to exclaim that the pri of her child's outfit for that evening was $7,0C0. A jealous mother, overhearing the remark, declared, "Upon the next occasion my daughter shall be dressed in tea-rose silk, which is by all means less E MI mon than pink. As for jewelry, phe shall surpass Miss Nellie, or I'm mistaken."

A SLAP AT "OITR BEST SOCIETT."— The New York Times, in a sensible discourse on social times and seasons, sets its face against the prevailing socalled "morning receptions:"

The hostess rocoives her friends between 3 and 6. They come in fine morning dress, talk a little with each other, eat, if they like (and tbey generally do like), a'late luncheon, which spoils their dinner without satisfying their appetites, and dupart. Result on both sides, chiefly the waste of the best part of a day. Morning parties, of whatever kind, are foreign to the real tastes and habits ot a hard-work ing people like us. Thev do better in societies composed of people who have not their bread to get, or at least their fortunes to make. But they do not suit UM and, except in a few houses, where the hostess is a woman of singulis social tact and attraction, they are stupid.

Dancing par

ties. music parlies, dinner parties, evening conversation parties, are all pleasure-giving in their way but the morning reception has no ration d'etre.

OF cash nnd credit THO Fort Wayne (Ind.) Sentinel says: As an abstract proposition, no roan should purchase what cannot afford to pay for and the tail tra esman t-hould not psrtnlt blms -If to bellt-ve that he has the right to give credit ty any one. But the very reverse Is the case. The merchant gives long credit with, in many instances, no assurance that- he will ever receive his pay, and the purchaser cuts a dash upon tho merchandise which be cannot s*y is bis own, and cultivates a distaste to the paymeut of his cash lor what be buys, until be comes to believe that his resources are great, and ruin stares him and his merchant both in the face before ho has time to even dream of such a result.

THE TEMPERANCE BILL.

BY MRS. JOUN SMITH.

Never so much as now did I wish tho presence of woriien in the Legislature of Indiana, as with hundreds of anxious citizens I await the decision of the Senate upon the Temperance Bill. Cheered by the action of the House, I have much hope that before this article appears in print the bill shall have become a law. I have just been reading the opinion of a man, the Editor of the

Terre-HauteExpress,

We do not expect a statute law will put an end to intemperance. There are statute laws against murder, stealing, perjury, iorgery, bribery and manifold other sins, but do stlch laws'put an end to all these things? Certainly not, but suppose the laws did not exist, what would be tho consequence? While mankind is in its present unsanctified state, people will commit wrongs and all the statutes can do is by holding up the punishment before our eyes to prevent, if possible, the commission ot the crimes, or, if necessary the penalties, to guard against their recurrence. There is surely something wrong about our present liquor law. The number of prosperous saloons and number of drinking men who are quife the reverse of prosperous are evidence of the fact. If a man can show a good moral character ho shall have a license and after the license is granted the law leaves the rest, in a great measure, to take care of itself. It furnishes the cause but shirks the effect.

A few years ago, while residing in a certain city of Indiana, a factory was built requiring a large number of operatives. Immediately application was made for license to sell whisky close by. A remonstrance was circulated and brought me to sign. I did so without hesitation, and several ladies who were with me did the fame. It was also signed bv a large number of prominent citizens. It was presented and we awaited the result. The next day myself aud three other ladies we^e called upon by the Sheriff, with a summons to appear before the Court of County Commissioners. We were indignant and declined to go, whereupon we were told that force would bo p§|(| if necessary.

Upon arriving, the petitioner for license was pointed out to us, in close consultation with the judge. He was the most abject specimen ever saw, an animal between a man and a monkey,

with

FEBRUARY 15,

upon the subject.

I believe that were the election not forthcoming he would have wBitten differently. It is a check upon a man's sentiments to be the editor of a party paper. Every rum-seller and every drunken loafer has a vote, and many dare not attack

th9

liquor question for

they fear tho consequences. However, the Editor of tho Express in his editoral of February lltb, may really have expressed his true feelings. Other distinguished gentlemen have taken the same view of the subject, viz: that statute law will not put an end to the evil, and such laws are the worst of tyranny.

a preponderance of the latter.

One by one wo were called to tho stand and questionod whether we knew anything against his moral character Of course we knew nothing about him. I t0ld the judge all that was necossary to know of a man's character was that he wanted to sell intoxicating liquors to poor laborers. The judge replied that was not sufficient evidence. Not a single man who knew the creature and might have testified against his character was called, only we four women. The license was granted. I went to the Commissioners nnd talked pretty plainly about their course in tho matter. This was their reply: "Madam, we were just as much opposed to granting that man a license as you were, but we must be governed by thelaio." And that is true. A remonstrance signed by every citizen of Terre-Haute might go before the Commissioners, and unless it could be proven that the applicants were of an immoral character, (and men don't prove such things against each other) licenses would be granted to halt tho mon in town if applied for. Don't wo need a new statute or something to prevent the evil

Tho Editor of the Express says "mon criticise, scold, upbraid, snub their wives shall we legislate to prevent it?" Good Heavens, no! If we undertake legislation to regulate men's tempers, all other business would have to bt» laid Hside and then the regular session would not be long enough and the members not capable of the job,— but If a man 5s kind and generous to his family when he is sober, and the next day ho takes a glass, ats his wife and kirks his children out or the house, woulJ it not bo a good thing to put that glass in a placo where he could not get it? How ofien is it said, "He is the best man in the world when the liquor is out, but the very worst when it Is In." If by our act we can make a tnan an angel or a friend by giving or taking away the liquor should webesitate? The great majority of drunkards conld refrain irom drinking if the sight of the liquor was not ever before tbem,the fumes around them at every step.

Have I not seen a dear, ybnng friend, only two years a wife, fall apon her knees and implore her hasband not to sacrifice his honor and her happiness in the ftital wine cup! and his answer, "Jf I could only stay at home with you. I would be safe, but I cannot resist it, when I see it, I ctnnot, I'cannot." Now she is at her father's bouse, worse than widowed, her babe worse than orphaned, while he is fast hastening on to fill a drunkard's grave—and they have been married only four years!

I873.

If I should fill every column in this paper could I more forcibly portray the effects of intemperance than are seen around us every day when our citizens are found dead upon the streets, murder is committed in a drunken quarrel and household goods are pawned to pay for liquor till the little children are left the coldest night without a covering. All these things have happened in our own city this winter, and yet, the editor of a leading paper can declare against a law to prevent them. "There is a clear legal right to drink to excess if the drunkenness results in no injury or annoyance to anyone." If there is one drunkard in five hundred who has neither wile, children nor other relatives, let him become intoxicated every day, let bim drink himself to death, the sooner the better, but, without speaking of the injury he does himself, how is it possible for a man to be intoxicated without injuring or annoying anyone? and how has a man a legal right Has a man a legal right to commit suicide and yet habitual drunkenness leads to the same end.

This law is tho worst form of tyranny," says the Express. Tyranny! yes, over depraved men, that they may not indulge their vitiated tastes but Liberation for sorrowing parents, long-suffering wives and tiembling children.

As well say that a man shall not eat too much, that he shall not go too long without bathing," fcc., says the Express. How foolish! Is eating too much a great and awful evil, using up men's wages, destroying their homes and ruining them, mind and body? Said a gentleman when I had refused to drink wine with him in his parlor, "A little wine won't hurt anybody."

I'NO,"I

replied, "but a great deal will."

"Oh, as well say a man shouldn't eat buckwheat cakes because too many will hurt him." "Too many will make him sick, but he, himself will be the only sufferer and in the fulure he will be more temperate, but one may take too much liquor again and again, and the result will be an increased appetite and finally irreparable injury to himself and others."

The Express sympathizes withJiquor sellers. Yes, and many very weakminded people in New York sympathize with the murdereis in the Tombs, but their sympathy avails nothing.

It is true this new bill gives tho rich an advantage over the poor, but it is not among the rich that intemperance prevails to any great extent., it is among the poor who never will be rich while they have the opportunities furnished for squandering all their simple means, and not the moral courage to resist.

Among the wealthy I see one but one remedy. It is the influence ef woman. I have not time to write upon the subject now. I can only trust that knowing her power she will use It wisely.

The Express tolls us that "enlightened and improved public sentiment alone can slop the drunkenuoss, and put an end to the traffic." But this will require years and meanwhile must tho present rates of intemperance continue. Will the efforts at enlightenment overcome the entioemcnts placed in every child's way from youth to manhood, the lights, the music, the clinking of glasses that issue from every third door, aided by that love of liquor which many drunkard's children inherit? Remove the temptation if you will not have frail human nature yield. Will you seek to lift a man upward with heavy weights about his feet? Will you not rather strike oft the weights and let him rise by his own eflorts? Will you strive to mako mankind noble, and yet suffer them daily to come in contact with all that is debasing

Only a day or two and a great moral question will be decided. Surely if the Senato ot Indiana is composed of earnest, conscientious men thero can be no doubt as to tho result/'

These are days of

loDg

tlt«.Is

and rapid

steps forward. There are crimes greator than intemperance, and when the time comes to abolish them, though a fdw may cry "tyranny tyranny yot down must they come and mingle with the fallen evils of those dark ages we are fast leaving far behind us.

HUSKS & NUBBINS SET RIGHT. P. S. WESTFALL, ESQ:—Dear Sir:— Will you allow me space to say a few words in reference to the article, or one or two sentences in tho article of your very interesting and able correspondent, "Husks and Nubbins," In the last issne of The Mail? The general tone of the article was excellent, and ideas good. He says however, towards the end of It, "We rebel against that declaration in Genesis which says, 'Thy desire shall be to thy husband and he shall rulo over tbee.' We leave Messrs. Howe, Greene, Tyler A Co. to "explain" the passage, but we, for one, shall not scruple to disobey It at the earliest opportunity." I have not oonsulted tho other members of the firm alluded to, but I would like, not to "explain," but to call attention to a single fact which I think will remove a difficulty concerning the passage of scripture alluded to. The fact is this, that the objectionable passage Is apart of the curse pronounced for sin, and not a law which is to be obeyed. Because it was said to tbe woman "In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children," did any one ever attempt to lessen or remove entirely tbe pains of childbirth with the feeling, "J leave tbe preachers to "explain" that, I Intend to DISOBEY?" Because it was said to Adam "Thorns and thistles shall It (the earth) bring forth," did anybody ever go to rooting oat and destroying these noxious things thinking there was any

thing in Genesis to forbid it? Because writing excellent articles for The Mailf does not bring as much perspiration to the face of your correspondent, as some disagreeable and less useful work might do, does he say, "We for one intend at the earliest opportunity to disobey Moses who says, "In tbe sweat el thy face thou shalt eat bread?" A declaration of what shall be tho natural result of wrong doing,Is a very different thing from the enactment of a law to be obeyed. Because God in naturo declares a certain disease as the penalty for some vice, the man who attempts to get off as lightly as possible is not disobeying God, or nature either. In fact the more carefully he obeys, tho less of the curse of his former sin will he get. The declaration "Thy desiro shall be to thy husband,and be shall rulo over thee," is not a law to be oboyed or disobeyed, but it is a declaration of a result of sin, a result, too, which has been most fearfully visited upon the female portion of the human raco, but a result which we noi only may try to remove individually and generally, as far as possible, but which we are under obligations to remove. Whenever and wherever there is true love antj an earnest desire on the part of tho husband to do right, there will the curse sit very lightly. Obedience to God and his laws is the best way to get rid of tho force of all these declarat ions. I have written this not for the sako of a controversy, or to find fault with your excellent correspondent, but to set right a much abused and, as I think, a generally misunderstood passage of tho Bible.
