SECOND EDITION With Supplement.

^TEN PA QES.

The pressure of advertising make* it necessary—in order to give our readers the usual variety of reading matter to add two more pages to this week's Mail, making ten pages in all.

COL. JOHN P. BAIRD, In the Journal of Tuesday, published over his signature a very intemperate article, attempting to defend the bar of Terre Haute, and claiming that lawyers have the right to "abuse" and "bully" witnesses. It is so full of false assertions, of contradictions, so inconsistent, the language so loose and insulting, that we are certain the author will be ashamed of it in bis sober second thought. Really, as a neighbor and friend, we feel that wo are doing him a kiiidness in not reproducing the article in these columns, or further alluding to tho subject. The Mail has had its full say on this question, and is happy to know that the people, especially those who havo passed fiery ordeals on thewitnoss stand, endorse every article that has appeared in this paper. These articles havo been written without passion or prejudice, aimed at known abuses, and we believe will result in-good.

Tnn emotional insanity dodge is getting rather thin. Indeed it is almost played out. But here is a happy thought for the professional murueror. A few weeks ago a young man down in New Hampshire rose in his sleep, walked soise distance to a neighboring house and killed another young man with whom he was on terms of intimacy. It was shown on trial that he was troubled with somnambulism, and, of course, nothing was done with him. So now, when you take it into your head that you want to kill somebody without being hold responsible, cultivate somnambulism for a few months—rove around at night—malco nocturnal visits to the people in the vicinity, and then dispatch your man. The facility with which you can return to consciousness after the deed will give the new system great advantages over dysomania, emotional insanity, etc. We expect to see the word "somnambuled" come into use, shortly.

THE new postal card arrangement went into effect last Thursday. Tho office in this city has not been suppliod with these one cent pieces of card board, and it is not likely that tho small offices throughout the country can be supplied for several weeks. Advices from Washington say that the orders for them from different parts ol the country havo have groatly exceeded the anticipations of the officers of tho Post Office Department, and the edition of 5,000,000 which was ordered has been already bespoken by the various offices. The Postmaster at Philadelphia alone has ordered 1,000,000, and other cities in

The address of Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier Journal, was an admirable paper. The press of this city was represented by J. B. Edmunds of the Journal.

THROUGHOUT the West tho peach crop has been pretty generally killed, but advices from Delaware and New Jersey say that in these States it promises to bo the largest ever known.

A MAI? was sentenced to nineteen yean imprisonment in the Tennessee State Prison, five years ago, for murder, and It has just been proved that he innocent. Of course he wlli be discharged, but what oompensatlqn is there for him If he had been hanged this question of compensation wpuid not have to be considered.

TttR Legislature of Michigan has passed a tew providing that persons acquitted of murder on the plea of insanity shall be kept in castody as persons dangerous to community. This is an exoeUent provision, and worthy of general adoption.

JJA LIFIOA TIONS FOB OFFICE. One of the (Wise and injurious theories In reference to the various offices ol trastand honor within the gift of the people, is that they are intended as a better class of alms houses. There may be found after any election a goodly number of gentlemen in thia or any other city, who feel that they have been ill-treated by their party because, when they needed the office so much, they were not nemlnated for Mayor or given some other position on the city ticket. Between different candidates it is often urged, as if it were a strong point, that this man needs it and that one don't, this one has a good position and that one has not, this one has a large family and that one has only a wife to support. What of all this? There is no donbt that there are hundreds el men in this city who need each one of the municipal offices: That is, they oould make more money, or make it easier in these offices than they can out of them. But the question to be decided at caucusses, conventions and the polls, is not who need the offices but of whose services has the city noed? and whose services do the people want? If there are two candidates of exactly equal merits, it may be well for the voter to give this qaestion of personal necessities some consideration. But it is a matter which should ordinarily have very little' influence in deciding whom to nominate, or for whom to vote. And it is not a mark of the highest delicacy for a candidate to urge his own necessities as a reason why the people should give him office. We have a Ladies Aid Society ready to help all the needy and distressed, and there is no law against a man's circulating a subscription paper in his own behalf, or getting a friend to do it for him, and In caseof actual distress there would probably be a generous response, and then as a last resort there is the alms house, and with a bill of fare too. We have intentionally neglected to mention the possibility of going to work, because too often it is the case that, with the office-seeker's constitution, this is not one of the possible resorts. Whatever the office to be filled, from president down, the question who will best serve and satisfy the people is the only question of importance. While we would put our bands in our pockets to help those in need, we would not give up the smallest Interest of the public good, or even a strong personal preference, to put a man into office because he needed it. There are better ways of providing for the poor than by pensioning them in public offices.

Then it would hardly seem to bo necessary that a candidate should hold exactly the same views,or the same shado of views, on all possible questions as the voter. In relation to all questions which will have a practical and important bearing on his official conduct, his views should be earefully considered. A man's theology may be sadly defective and yet that same man mako a much better officor than one sound in the faith according to this voter or that voter's standard of soundness. It may be desirable that all policemen should be members of the church, and yet so far as their office is concerned, or the question of putting one into the office, it is far more important to know whether there is tho courage and disposition to enfoice la* and keep order* The same holds in reference to any other office.

An old Scotch divine asked another where he could get his shoes mended. The reply was made, "Why there is Jainme under the hill, he is a good christian brother," and, interrupting him at this point, the old Covenanter, as ho was, said, "It is not a good christian, but a good cobbler that I want." We intend in no way to disparage christian character, or speak lightly of it. Christian principle ought to make men more faithful both in mending shoes, or in filling a political office, but the main question is whether tho man can and will do his work well. If so though he may differ in opinion, it is better to have such a man do the work than one who agrees with us in opinion on some important matters, who will do tho work poorly and leave it undone. Saloon-keepers had rather have a strict temperance man and an advocate of Baxter's Bill who would not enforce the law, than another saloonkeeper who would enforoe it. So lovers of law and order, if they aro sensible, had rather havo a Mayor, a City Marshal, Ac. who will faithfully maintain law and order, even though he may differ Irom them on some important moral and religious questions, than have one who agrees with them on these questions but lacks the courage, or Is too much of a demagogue to administer the laws faithfully and Impartially.

So far as the city election 1s concerned all the candidates are unusually good men. The simple question before the voters is, which of the various candidates will best servo the public interests in the offices for which they are nominated. Beside this question all personal interests of candidates, and all likeness or unlikeness of views on matters not relating to the office, sink into insignificance.

WJLtJET, of tho King'scounty, New Xork, Inebriate asylum Is reported aa saying: "The drug stores area source of greater danger than the lowest grog-shop, among the better class of the community.

lEKHF-H A DTE SATUKDAY EVENING MAIL. MAY 3, 1873.

WITH the week ending Sunday night Chicago tarnished six suicides, finishing the lsst with a beautiful and accomplished lsdy, who hung herself to a hook in a oloset, while the fltmily were at church. Suicides in other cities of the continent, in the past fortnight, have bsen abundant. It is a enrious fact that the months of March and April invariably furnish a luxurious crop of these self-murders. Is it because of the spring rains, or the spring loves?

ANOTHER suicide has again shown his selfishness, this time in Sixth avenue, New jYork. He shut himself up in another man's parlor and opened a vein in his arm. He left word to have bis body sent to Hoboken. Now, why did he not go there himseif and do his bleeding? The New Jersey laws are not particularly strict against suicide. Why then bother a .New York friend and spoil his' carpet? This time selfishness was unsuccessful instead of of going to glory tho man was sent to the hospital.

HEBE is another of those delightful facts of science: Feeling is a much slower sense than sight. If a man had an arm long enough to reach the sun, and were to touch that body with the tip of his finger, he world never find out whether it were hot or cold, as he would be dead before tho sensation arrived at headquarters, which would require one hundred years. Won't the scientific gentleman who gave this startling information tell us how long it would take such an arm to wipe the nose of the man who owned them both And if he had a cold in his head, would not his moustache be likely to get soiled

EVEN in Mexico, tlio women are asserting the right to win their own way to fortune and fame. Wo learn from the Two Republics that on a recent occasion, in a competitive examination of candidates to fill the vacant professorship of English in the Female College of dalle Santa, Calarina, six gentlemen and one lady, Seuorlta Angela Lozano, presented themselvos to pass tho ordeal, only one of whom could gain tho honorable station desired. Three of the gentlemen withdrew the others determined to contest for the victory. After a long and searching examination the ordeal was declared at an end and the professorship was awarded to Senorita Lozano, who is described as a young lady of "splendid intellectual gifts." It is said that the victorious lady is the first female to fill such a position in Mexico. Verily, the world moves. vM

Beor Is tho poor man's wine. Why should ho pay two prices for it? Beer is sold to the saloons at two dollars per keg. We have been informed that tho average number of glasses drawn per keg is over one hundred. An expert tells us that when he was in tho business a keg was good for one hundred and five glasses At five cents per glass this would give five dollars and twenty-five cents. This is an indecent extortion. If tho retailer pays two dollars per keg and gets three dollars and fifteen cents for it over his counter, that is ample compensation for handling. But, wo are told, the small concerns could not live without more than fifty per oent profit. Let them die then.

ACCORDING to Prof. Faraday, the crime of suicide is very common in this age of our world, for he Intimates that all who dio under 100 years of age may be charged with self-murder that Providence, having originally intended man to live a century, would allow him to arrive at that advanced period if he did not kill himself by eating unwholesome food, allowing himself to bo annoyed by trifles, giving license to passions, and exposing himself to accident. Flourln advanced tho theory that the duration of life is measured by tho time of growth. When once the bones and epiphyses are united the body grows no moro, and it is at 20 years this union is effected in man. The natural termination of lifa is five removes from the several points. Man, being 20 years in growing, lives—or should—5 times 20 years the camel is 8 years in growing, and liyes 5 times 8 years the horse is 5 years in growing, and lives 23years and so on with other animals. n-- $.

What an ludianapolts Laby Knows About Them.

ANSWER TO w. HAKOLD.

From the Ind. People.] EDITOR PEOPLE:—In your issue of SHnday morning, April 9,1 find this heading, "Jealing with Phantoms," written by W. Harold, and now, Mr. Editor, after seven days of earnest unceasing, close investigation of the socalled "Spiritual Phenomena," I beg you to allow me space to answer the brother for it is true that human beings are liable to be deceived, and some will misconstrue and have the audacity to throw themselves back on their dignity and demand the production of manifestations impossiblo under the circumstances. The mocking priests demanded Jesus to come down from the cross and they would believe, but he could not come down to satisfy a scoffing mob. I may lack the ability to cope with the learned Harold, but justice and truth demand attention, and as the gentleman has undertaken to give his experience of an hour or two, I will proceed at onco to narrate my own. In the first place I am only an investigator—one of your "doubting Thomases"—and so for through life have seen enough of tricky mediums to make me of a doubting mind but with all this, I am after the genuine if it can be found. If we condemn the whole religion for the actions of one poor siuner where would all our churches bo today Echo aiiswers.

Place, Terre Haute time, 7 p. n». Saturday, March 29, 1873 number of persons present, about SO ladies and gentlemen, the skeptics occupying front seats, next to a cabinet, such as is used by tho Davenports and others weather rainy, chilly, and the atmosphere very heavy. We were requested to remain very quiet—no whispering allowed during the seance. The medium made her appearance, whose name Mr. Harold mignt well put wrong, as he has laid himself liable to having uttered what Mrs. Stewart would term a base falsehood, in saying that "every face, from first to last, was none other than the faco of the medium," is Mrs. Stewart. She is short in statute, brunette in complexion, hair and eyes, and as for looking "greasy," I am sure she would stand the test of cleanliness with Brother Harold. True, she is notedudated, but is of a modest disposition, the opposite of "vulgar," and as to her being a "commonplace article of the kitchen mechanic sort," shame on you Mr. Harold. Who does your cooking, washing, Ironing and attends to vour every wants? Woman, I havo no doubt a wife, perhaps,andIs she of tho "kitchen mechanic" sort Mrs. Stewart's clothing consists of brown delaine and brown muslin, with drab corset, drab hoso and slippers, with a small breakfast shawl thrown around her shoulders. A committee of ladies was appointed to search the medium', and all skeptical Dersons (ladles) wore cordially invited to take the opportunity of undressing and dressing tho medium. Mrs. J. Smith, of Danville, Illinois, Mx-s. Dodge, ot New York, Mrs. Crissie and myself proceeded to an adjoining room and disrobed the medium of every article of apparel save one. Her dress has no lining in theskirt and a very narrow facing. I turned her clothing all wrong side, sleeves and all. After finding no falsa crowns, jewolry, rings, whiskors, wigs, scarlot sleeves, night caps, white robes, etc. I immediately dressad the medium,and then walked close beside her to the cabinet door, opened the door, took out the* small piece of carpet and one chair, shook the carpet, turned the chair upside down, and again replaced them in their accustomed positions in the cabinet then I helped the medium Into her little abode, took a chair, stepped upon it and examined the velvet that hung before the cabinet door. Feeling perfectly well satisfied that tho medium could not deceive me, I proceeded to seat myself, and with watchful eyes I gazed upon six faces, said to bo spirit faces—five gentlemen and one aged lady. While wo were singing "We have friends in the spirit land" an astronomer tnade his appearance in gas light as bright as handle light, and spoke these words so that overybody in tne room oould hear them distinctly: "Yes, friend*, wo aro here and glad to be with you true, you all have friends in the spirit land —fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives and kindred dear." While gazing upon this beautiful face I rubbed my eyes and held an opera glass before them and thought I surely was dreaming, but nay, I beheld witn my natural eyes a face that certainly was not the medium's. This same gentleman stood beforo us in puro white flowing robes, neatly ruffled around both neck and arms, a neat crown bedecked his brow, rather tali, with silver gray hair and whiskers. The next was an aged female, rather fleshy, short and jolly looking, with wrlnkleu faco and small eyes a wfeite cap was neatly tied beneath her chin,and her dress was white. The next one that visited us was Robert Smith heavy set, broad shoulders, jet black hair and heavy black mustache he put his head outside of the cabinet door and said, "Good evening, one and all." On his doparture an old gentleman of pleasing appearance, said to be one of tne bana of spirits that control the medium, came his hair and whiskers were both very long and quite white, and his clothing was about the same color as his hair. The next, a tall, slim gentleman, with a cancer on the left side of his lace. Another gentleman appeared and disappeared quickly. During the two hounr seance quite a large number of small and large hands and arms ap-

arod, all clothcd in white except one little hand and arm in scarlet, with a very large plain gold ring on the third finger. Three other rings were seen during the entertainment. Somewhat puzzled, I took "my leaving^' for my place of abode, and while on my way I was questioned as to whether I bad disrobed the medium of all her clothing, etc. After replying in the negative, they then said Oh, well, the medium had sll those masks, etc., hidden under ber arms." I made no answer, but determined in my own mind that not another person in tho world should ever speak thus to me again, and, therefor©, on Sunday morning. Margh-30^ 1*78, at 10 a. m., I attended another similar seance, with xmir this change: I asked Mrs. Stewai^wbile searching her, to please pull her hose off wrong side oui over her feet she did so, and in broad dayl^bt she submitted herself to be disrobed of all her ctothing. I boldly say to-day that it is not a belief with me, but positive fact, that I know Mrs. Stewart used no deception while trying to convince the people of immortality, and any one, after seeing whst I have, that would say the medium had bid about her person all the above named articles

is a fool, and would not believe his nearest kindred. Now, as to all this being spirits, I am not prepared to say, nor have I the right to dispute it unless I can prove it otherwise. 2 feel as though I cannot aa yet admit that spirit power is the cause of all this phenomena, while I fully exonerate the medium from the charge of deception and juggling, and I attribute the oause to some hitherto unknown mental power, unconscious cerebration and unconscious muscular action. It is indeed a newly discovered mental force, and is well worthy ot scientific investigation.

The next time, Mr. Harold, you visit Terre-Haute, I would advise you to call on Mr. Morgan, ou South Third street, and see another medium—Miss Laura Morgan, twelve years of age. Through this little medium one half dozen spirits at a time dance and keep time with the same number of musical instruments, rapping all over the cabinet, slate writing, whispering and materialization of flowers, while little Laura is chained with padlocks and keys, with flour in her bands all the time. She has only been "trying the spirits" six weeks. The history of this little girl's first sitting, alono with a younger sister and older brother, is grand and sublime. Bu.very oareful In future, Mr. Harold, or perhaps "mischief shall return upon your own head and violent dealings shall oome down upon your own pate."—[7th Psalm,61tb verse. LAURA C. OWEN.

SUICIDE, f'

Dr. Holland has a "Topic" In Scriliner's for May, on the recent discussion of suicide, from which we quote the closing paragraph:

If a man is nothing but an animal, if this lite is all there is of his existence, and the question simply concerns tho amount of comfort to be got out of it in this transient world, why. let him do as he likes with himself and his friend but ho who regards the present scene as only the foreground of an infinite spiritual feature, through which, if one tread faithfullv the prescribed passages of pain as well as pleasure, he shall find himself in higher pathways, as a consequence, at the last,—we say ho will take life whether it be convenient or inconvenient, and hold it as tho gift of God, inalienable by any reason of infirmity or suffering, or hopeless disease, or cost to other life through necessary ministry. The doctrines of Prof. Newman and Mr. Tollemache are unchristian doctrines. They carry us back into barbarism—back into the darkness in which children killed parents that becatuo a burden to them, and mothers strangled Infants that could only inherit their own sufferings. It is an infamous criticism of the divine wisdom, an insult to Providence, an assault upon the safeguards of society, and a reflection upon human nature and human destiny, from which all Christian manhood recoils as from the touch ot a serpent. ......

DR. REDFIELD thus writes to the Cincinnati Commercial of a visit to a printing office at Glyndon, Minn., a frontier town not yet settled quite a year,where the society consists chiefly of "trappers, hunters, saloon keepers and Swedish servant girls." In walking about tho happy village of tho plain, butting against the merciless wind much as madman would against a stubborn barn door, I chanced into tho office of the Red River Gazette, the next to tho last paper upon the frontier. This little journal hanging upon the verge of civilization, as it were, presents a very creditable appearance. The editor, his wife and children do all the intellectual and Mechanical work. The print-! shop is a cozy little structure of one room, and answers for a dwelling as well. In one corner are the cases, In another the

The editor was not in, but his good wlfo and ono of bis children were. Tho wife was writing editorials andt making pies, while the child kept up fires and set typo. It was a happy picture ofdlverslfied Industry.
