has got to the end of his rope—or soon will be. He surrendered on the first of June to a squadron of the First Cavalry, under command of Col. Perry. It is reported that he is playing crazy. He certainly has just as good a right to do so, as the pale face. If succes-ful— his band having been broken up—he will be forced to take to the lecture field. Seriously, the government is in a quandary what to do with him, and the manner of bis trial and punishment, whether civil or military,is being debated.

In New York city, on Mobday, a young Saratoga blood named Walworth, cooly and deliberately invited his father to his room in a hotel, and there shot him dead.. Abuse and threats to his divorced wife, the young man's mother, was the cause, and which the lawyers are now going to prove made the boy insane. Suppose we have a law declaring the commission of murder evidence of insanity. That would save expensive and lengthy trials, to say nothing of the trouble and Indonven'ence of these unfortunate emotloual people^

INFLUENCE OF OCCUPATION UPON THE LAW OF MOB TA L1TY. Since the origin of the life insnrance business a vast amouut of *tudy has been given to ascertaining the rate nt which people die and the causes which have an influence upon this rate, either increasing or decreasing it. Besides furnishing these companies with a solid basis, for their busineas, thh study has brought out many important anl most interesting facts. A Mr. Nelson, in preparing an article uu tbe influence of occupation upon health, gathered the statistics concerning mortality in England and Wales for the years 1S60 and 1861. The table which follows shows in tbe first column the average number of deaths per annum in a hundred persons between the ages of 25 and 65, aud ia the second colurnn,the average number per hundred between the Hges of 25 and 45, and the third between 45 and 65

Next to the clergy In length of lite comes blacksmiths. On the general average of the whole period between 25 and 65 the blacksmiths loso annually 1.38 in every hundred, against the 1.04 of the clergy. Between the ages of 25 and 45 the blacksmiths average 95 against the 52 of the clergy. Between 45 and 65 the blacksmiths get ahead, and stand.best on the list, losing only 1.62 per hundred against the 1.72 of the clergy. So if the blacksmith lives to be 45, he has the best prospect of any ot reaching 65.

Next to the Beer sellers, the greatest rate of mortality Is In the medical profession, but even in the profession requiring so great, an amount of exposure and Irregularity as this, the rate is far behind that of the liquor dealers. When the doctor's bill comes In, if it seems a little steep, we must remember that he bas not as long, a life in which to make charges as most ol us or better yet, we will remember that he is entitled to some compensation for wearing himself out In our behalf. No man earns his money by harder work than the ordinary physician. And of all the ordinary and legitimate occupations his lease of life Is the shortest.

Butchers are regarded as a'very healthy set of men. Probably no business can turn out more heavy-weights than this. Yet they stand next to the doctors In presenting a great death ate, and they almost equal the doctors, being for the various periods 1.74 to 1.77, 1.20 to 1.28 and 1.98 to 2.35. Coal minera make tbe next best showing to blaoksmiths. Lawyers stand between coal miners and butchers, but are nearer the miner than the batcher. If we average the different occupations according to the length of life secured in them, they will stand as follows: Clergymen, Blacksmiths, Miners, Law

It will be seen that of the entire population the average number of deaths per hundred annually between the ages of 25 and 65 is 1.50, between 25 and 45,it is 1.05 and between 45 and 65 it is

30. In

studying this list the first frict which strikes us is, that the "Clerical profession" makes the best showing, and tbe class named "Beer Sellers, Wine Merchants, and Innkeepers," makes the worst showing. In every hundred ot the clergy, between the ages of 25 and 65, only 1.04 die annually, while of every hundred "Beer Sellers, Ac." 2.44 die annually, or more than double the number of the clergy Between tbe ages of 25 and 45 tbe rate of death among the clergy is 52, or about »r.e in 200, while among the "Beer Sellers, &c.," it is 170, or more than throe times as many. Between tbe ages of 45 and 65, the clerical rate is 1.72, the "Beer Sellers" rate is s.32, or more than twice as great. II tbe clergy cannot get the best of tbe Beer Sellers, &c., on the enforcement of the Baxter Bill they do manage to get the longest lease of life.

It may seem a mighty easy work to push out full glasses to customers and draw back and wash out empty ones, sweep nickles into the till, and then lean over the counter and joke and laugh till another drought sets in, or another droughty one comes in, but evidently there is wear and tear about it somewhere. However easy the business may be, or however profitable pecuniarily, it provides the shortest cut to the end of life's toils and cares. Temperance lecturers will make a note of tbe fact and use It judiciously.

Butchers, Doctor, Beer Sellers

«nd Wine Merchants. It will be noticed that only a few of the occupations sre here set down. It would be interesting to gather statistics in referenoe to all tbe different occupations. Besides the time may come when It will be for the interest of different classes to collect these statistics on account of their influence upon the life insurance business. Professor Newton, who occupies the chair of mathematics at Yale College, and who has devoted great smonnt of stady to this subiect, closes sn article in tbe New Englander, as fellows: "I close with one remark epofi money aspect of tbe subject. The law of mortality among tbe clergy to probably such that tbe actual cost of life insurance Is less for tbem than for men in other occupations.

tbe exact amount

of the difference osn be shown they &re justly entitled to the benefit of It, snd tbe Insurance companies would undoubtedly in some way give It to tbem. Bat before the companies can justly make such a concession, tbe law of mortality for tbe profession among the several denominations on this country must be better known tfr.n at present. It Is not worth while tor tbe clergr to colleotthe fects needed to m«Va such table of mortality."

It Is quit* probable therefore thst

tbe law of mortality, as affected by different occupations, may yet be so acrurati-ly determined, that rates of insura nee will be made to vary not alone ilMtve as now, according to tbe age of tbe applicant, but also according to his occupation. However this may be, the statistics gathered will furni&h a very interesting and profitable field of study.

KEEPING UP A PPEAJtANCES. The last number of tbe Overland Monthly has an article under the above head so fitting to every community, *nl especially to this—where society Is divided Into a dozen or more different grades, and each of these grades into numerous and infiultesslmal rings or circle?, each striving for superiority, and to ape their more prosperous neighbors—that we print it in editorial t)*pe. Tae writer sys there is asocial malady more paralyzing to effort, and more fatal in its effects, than the dreaded equine epidemic which has so recently been holding high carnival all over the country. Veterinary surgeons have proved themselves equal to a successful combat with epizootic but, once let the distemper of ambition to keep up appearances get hold of a man or woman, and tbe chances are, that the poisonous virus will never be thoroughly eliminated, but its hapless victims will go coughing, and sneezing, and limping, in dislocatcd dignity, to tbe vast, allembracing corral where the specious garb ol appearances can no longer conceal malignant and hurtful realities. This ruinous plague saps/ tbe very foundations of social and domestic life, and blights and blasts the prospects of many an energetic, deserving man.

This moral infliction has, of late years, been making fearful strides among the middle classes of society. It is the bane of all healthful prosperity it begets a spirit of hateful rivalry it encourages petty pride it stimulates an unworthy ambition it fosters family disquietude it causes personal unrest it engenders strife, and it is the fruitful source of more real unhappiness in domestic life than almost any other social sin in tbe vast catalogue. Many a family, really possessing a store-bouse of home comforts and blessings, but for this direful effort to keep up appearances might revel in the joys of household felicity. Disdaining tbe precious gifts of a lavish Providence, they make themselves an unworthy sacrifice to appearances, and life becomos unreal and unsatisfactory to them and to everybody else—a mere puppet-like performance. Present and future happiness is all mortgaged to this insane endeavor to live after the pattern of some affluent neighbor, instead of being Impelled by the Impulse of some grand principle, or purpose. With frantic hope of success, they venture all on some perilous Utopian scheme, forgetting that the best and noblest achievements of life are tbe result of persistent effort, and not of spasmodic action. They are chasing some flitting impossibility from day to day, instead of setting out in life with a definite purpose, and bending every energy toward its accomplishment.

This dreadful contagion seizes many a noble, ambitions young man, who starts out with splendid purpose in his eyes. But he must keep up appearances. He makes a royal fight for fortune, but fails. He finds himself at bay with fate. He wrestles heroically, but all overtures are unavailing—he can not propitate success. He becomes discouraged and disheartened his stout hands drop nerveless, his strong heart beats feebly, his brisk step lags wearily. His soul craves tbe strength of good, honest, wifely companionship but he is too poor to marry the elect of his heart, for she has nothing but excellence to bring into tbe family exchequer, snd so it ends in his becoming tbe mere appendage to some rich and silly woman-a mere walking stick for flounces and finery—and the sequel Is by no means glorious.

The supreme need df the hour is independent Individuality, and a fine scorn for mere conventional edicts and meaningless exactions. Life is too rich a heritage to be sacrificed to the taint and feebleness of tbe courtier. We want more of the grand, severe simplicity of actual life, that bas the knack of being sunny-faced and happy on a scant allowance. To attain its highest and noblest development, the mind mast not be rasped perpetually witb carklng cares. Greater simplicity would give emancipation from auch eeaseiess toil. We need to graduate into the higher school of thought snd endeavor, where appearances are realities, and where there Is no backstairs method of getting Into society. We want more of an arcadian degree of freedom in life—more of the mountain life of pure naturalness—more of tbe valley life of unaffected peace—more of tbe hill-sido life of tranquil repose. Life, to be large must be free like the landscape, it must curve snd swell after Its oWn flwhion, nor seek to sbspe Itself after any conventional model. Harness recreant Nature to herown alloted teak, and let ber move forward unfettered by surroundings, nor spend ooe iota of garnered strength in sn unworthy struggle to keep up appearances.

The growth of advertising in this city within tbe last three years bas been very greet, and It is by the enterprise of oar retail merchsnts that tbe city is so thoroughly Advertised over tbe State. We now have a number of firms wbose annual expenditures for advertising In newspapers run into tbe thousands, and It Is a noteworthy feet that all tbeas establishments stand at tbe hesd of their line and are making money. While their expenses are doable what they were ssveral years sgo, their business snd profits have Increased in the same proportion.— [lad. News.

ATTEMPTS AT REFORM IN COURT MANNERa. It is encouraging to see that the recent discussion of certain usages In courts of justice, is having its effect among us, Tbe abuses pointed out were so glarin4 that they only needed to have attention called to them in ordor to. secure hearty and general condemnation. Even lawyers themselves, who had been guilty of indiscretions of this sort, at once saw tbe justice of tbe popular verdict. And only a few of the most hardened offenders have ventured to complain publicly, while all the most honorable members of the profession heartily rejoice that tbe crisis has come, and that a favorable turn has been taken. Tbe time Is cotniug when it will be a disgrace to a lawyer among tbe members of his own profession to say and do that under tbe cover of his profession which he might not say and do as an honest man and a gentleman. Two or three instances of disgraceful conduct In the court room have been met by fines for contempt. Of those lawyers who disgrace tbe profession by getting into fights in the court room, the least said the better. If they would only fight in good earnest, and by-stan-ders would keep their lands off till they had used each other about up and then lend a band in a few finishing strokes upon both, It would be about the most useful public service that these fellows and their friends ever did, or ever can perform. It is a disgrace to Terre-Haute that every few weeks our papers are compelled to chronicle a fight between lawyers in open court. But we art' glad to see that there is an evident desire to releave our courts and city of this disgrace, as well as to check the use of Improper language.

But the reform needs to take on a little more serious and determined form. In both the cases in which fines have been Imposed, If we are not mistaken, they have been remitted. This is a mero farce, mere boy's play. Why a Justice of the Peace should remit a fine imposed for fighting in bis presence, it Is hard to see. Cannot the Justices agree among themselves that they will not tolerate longer these practices which make justice's courts the scenes of such disgraceful conduct and language. If all agree to do it, and abide by the agreement—and certainly our Justices are all honorable men—no loss of business will result to any, for those who would, if they could, bring cases before a court tolerating these abuses, will have no place to go.

In reference to tbe merits of the affair in Judge Patterson's court, we know but little. The Judge imposed a fine of $50 upon Mr. Mack for using improper language, and tbe next day remitted it. If Mr. Mack deserved the fine it ought not to have been remitted. If he did not deserve it—and the Judge knew all tbe circumstances when he imposed it as well as he did the next day—it ought not to have been imposed. This is the way it strikes a mind not trained in legal lore. These efforts at reform show a healthy state of mind on the part ot Justlces and Judge. But they either neod a little more caution to keep from imposing fines unjustly, or, what is more probable, a good deal more of energy and decision, back-bone, in execution. Lot it be Reform in earnest.

DON'T DO THE DECOLLETEE. No woman ever dresses low, says an exchange, from a high motive. No lady goes to the opera (continues the cosmopolitan), to balls or dinner .parties witb ber bosom bnre for the purpose of pleasing her husband or ber affianced lover! Neither does she denude her breast for the gratification of her own sex. What then can be the motive for this scandalous undressing In public Let ns treat this delicate subject philosophically, yet fearlessly. We readily confess that there is nothing so exquisitely beautiful on earth Is tbe form, tbe bust, of a beautiful woman. And for this very reason it should not be exposed to tbe wanton gaze of vulgar eyes. No woman who truly loves her husband ever desires to exhibit ber charms "sacred sweet and precious" to any eye but his. And yet what do we see, or rather what do we not see, In tbe shape of naked arms, shoulders, backs and bosoms at everv evening gathering among what is called "the best society." One is continually reminded of the sercasm of Dr. Franklin, nearly one hundred years ago, who, when present at one of these gatherings of undressed English women, when ssked If be had ever seen snything like it before, blusblngly replied, "not since he was weaned." But we need not now dwell on the fact or tbe exlstenoe of this fashionsbie scandal. Let us strike st tbe root or tbe Immoral custom of "low-dressing." The motive, ss wo have ssid, is not a good one therefore, it must be a bad one, We have beard men who consider themselves connoisseur* st tbese exhibitions of femsle nudity, declsre that they "like to see it. bat would not like to see their own wives half naked In public." No man who properly

Srises

snd sppreciates his wife ever id, or ever will like to see his better half exposing her naked bust in public. It is clear and oonclusive, then, tbst this low-necked fesblon never was designed or followed for tbe delectation of basbsnds, And even women will always "pick to pieces" the most sndadoos undressed belle of tbe bsli. Why, then, do women indulge in this immodest. Immoral and unhealthy style of dress One is almost afraid to press the question to sn honest, logical solution. The true answer is derogatory to women. She bares her bust to excite something more thsn envy in women and admiration In men. And this she knows full well when she looks st her undraped form in the mirror in tbo character of a ttaiue vivanic. On tbe score of beslth, tbe fashion cannot be too severely denounced. How many fetal esses of consumption have been caused by sodden exposure to tbe chill midnight air, on coming oat of steaming ball-rooms and opera houses with the most vital part of the body entirely unprotected. On tbe tombstone of many a beautiful woman might be inscribed, "death from low-necked

JEMJNENT WOMEN.

Cinderella.

From Fat Contributor's Saturday Night.] Cinderella was the only child of dotIng parents, but her mother dying when 8he was a little girl her father married a widow with two grown-up daugthers. Her stepmother instituted several reforms in running the establishment, chief of which was discharging the hired girl without a recommendation and putting Cinderella at workinth6

Sormcd

titcben. Regretting bow poorly inher own daughters were on the subject of general housework, she resolved that Cinderella should enjoy the advantages of a liberal education in that particular. Stepmothers are proverbial for this. They neglected their own children rather than see a stepdaughter come UD ignorant of work.

But the proua sisters, instead of growing envious when they found how much more Cinderella was learning about washing dishes, scouring pans, emptying slops, etc., than they knew, used to l*ugb and and jeer at ber. They wouldn't allow her in the parlor when their beaux came to see thetrt, but compelled ber to sit in the kitchen in the chimney corner.

One evening the two proud sisters were In high glee because they were invited to a grand ball at the Exposition building, given by a book-and-ladder company, and taunted Cinderella, as be-

she was hooking up their dresses, cause she wasn*t invited, too. Ooi

One of

tbem got oft a cruel and atrocious pun. She said Ciuerella was better hooking dress than she would be at a book-an'-ladder ball. When the hack came for the young ladies and they rode gayly away, Cinderell was left sad and weeping in the chimney corner, and this is whero the fairy comes in.

The fairy was a very pleasant and engaging young fairy indeed, one of tbe best that the boss fairy sent out. Of wings she had a "pair," which was good enough to draw to, and she had often made her mile insldo of 2:17%, when'she couldn't make anything else. She knew well enough what was tbe matter with Hannah it was the ball. So she told Cinderella not to bawl any more, for she could go. She touched the poor girl's six cent calico with her wand, ana It immediately transformed into tbe most magnificent tullo moire antique, with bombazine puffings flutod, and an oversklrt of ginger poplin. Iam thus particular about ber dress because all little girls will be interested in it. Then the fairv fitted her out with a pair of the tiniest of glass slippers, worth atleast twenty-five cents a glass at any bar In tbo city. She took a pumpkin and scoopod it out (she had previously scooped some farmer out of pumpkin) she transformed it into a magnificent six-in-hand drag: manufactured horses out of llziaras, footmen of mice, and a big old rat she made into a rattling coachman. As Cinderella mounted and rode away, the fairy admonished ber that she must leave precisely as the clock struck twelve for if she danced a moment longer, she would find she bad danced ber fine gown into rags, and would have to come home afoot and alone, across lots and a-crylng.

Oreat was the sensation created when Cinderella entered tbe ball. The band stopped, waiters paused as tbev were briuging in beer, and all were momentarily dumb with amazement and admiration. Tbe king's son saw her and engaged her to dance with him every set, or set with him every dance, he didn't care which. He couldn't bear to be ont of her company. Ho had rather be out of tobacco or, "out" with tbe old man. Her proud sisters figured for an introduction, and allowed she was "real sweet."

Finally tbe prince invited her to join him in a glass of beer and a pretzel, and tbe moments flew so rapidly it was twelve o'clock before she knew It. As the clock was striking she suddenly recollected the fairy's admonition and started away as fast as she could run, knocking over floor managers and policemen. When she reached the door some lizzards croaking away were all that was left of her six-in-had. She saw her footmen scampering off as mice once more, her coachman a big rat engaged in a deadly struggle with a terrier, while ber coach, which was some pumpkins when It came, was all pumpkins now. Her magnificent dress was turned to rags, and she had to hoof it home barefooted.

But why go on Everybody knows bow she lost off a slipper and the prince found it how he offered to marry the young woman whom it fitted bow all tbo women in tbe kingdom (particularly the big-footed ones, wbo always imagine their feet are small) tried to put their foot in it bow it was at length found to fit Cinderella to a nicety, and bow tbe good fairy gave her an outfit when she married the prince.

Little girls, who are inclined to murmur ana repine because compelled to perform kitchen work, should drawn encouragement from this, and have a particularly nice pumpkin, and a choice selection of lizzards ana mice on hand when their proud sisters go to the ball to which Clnderellas of tbe chimney corner are net invited. That fairy may come around again.—["Oris."

He Is just sbout starting for bis work, when his eye catches tbe whisky bottle en his table: then raising a hammer in his clenched hand, he Is seen In the attitude of "striking" his enemy, snd smsshing It in a thoussnd pieces, while hlshsppy wife, with her infant in her arms, looks on approvingly, snd the six-year old boy waves bis cap in true Fourth of July style in exultation at the happy event, which he knows by instinct means for him fstheriv love and caress(w, to ssy nothing or toys, pennies, and untold quantities of cake and candy.

To MACH the great public at one swoop use The Ssturdsy Evening as an advertising medium.
