SECOND EDITION

TWO EDITION'S

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

TWO NEWSPAPERS,

In which all Advertisements appeal for ONE CHARGE.

A SCHOOL for instruction in emotional insanity is projected in New York.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York Sun suggests that murderers be deprived of their sight instead of being bung.

IIENRY WARD BKECHER'S seraaon

one week ago la9t Sunday, has so confused the newspapers that they do not know whether be is a Universalis! or a Spiritualist, or both.

A NASHVILLE,(Tenn.) correspondent says that Andrew Johnson believes most religious-ly that bo will be the next President of the United States and that the people are rapidly acquiring a true appreciation of his character. The last cause is undoubtedly true.

THERE were three deaths in Nashville, Tenn., from cholera, last Saturday, and the epidemic is now established in that and the neighboring city of Memphis. The cities of St. Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati are in constant fear of a visit. The type of the disease is said to be comparatively mild.

THE New York Court of appeals has granted Stokes a new trial. This means that the elegant, wealthy, be-friended Mr. Stokes, who committed a cool, premeditated, cowardly murder is to finally go acquit of his crime, while better men, for less crime have paid the extreme penalty because they had less money.

LESS than three weeks till the Fourth of July, and still no preparation for its celebration. Has tho glory of the day departed? Is patriotism and gunpowder extinct Shall we nevermore, as in bygone days, see Col. Edwards b3girt with Grand Marshal's sash, hear Judge Lor read the Declaration and have Col. Thompson grow eloquent over the grand old story

THE Indianapolis Journal states that the city of Anderson, this Stato, with a population of forty-five hundred, not a •single application for license has been made since the passage of tho new temperance law, nono of tho saloon keepers being able to obtain tho requisite number of signatures to their petitions. Quite a number of saloons have closed up, and it is believed to be impossible for any person to obtain license there under the existing law.

THE Orange Lodges of Now York city have not yet decided whetlior they will or will not parade on the 12th of July. Thoy will show good sense in deciding not to parade. The authorities have sustained them in thoir right to parade, and they havo done so at an expense of a considerable number of lives. They will show that they wished to maintain a principle, but are not anxious to constitute themselves a public nuisance. Tho peoplo of the United States are not in the slightest interested in religious squabbles of three thousand miles away, and they object to a yearly recurrence of the B.ittlo of tho Boyne being fought on American soil. When aliens bocome American citizens they should lay asido their Old World prejudices and b»'*ome Americanized at once. We're lii dof old-time quarrels and fcolish bickerings of Catholics and Protestants, Kibbonmen and Orangemen. Should tho Orange Lodgea decide not to parade thpy wUl adopt the wiser course.

O.vb of ti most remarkablo cr'mlnal trials of the ags is in progress at Dover, Del., that of Dr. West, who is charged with the murder of a colored man under circumstances of peculiar atrocity. The killing has since been admitted by Dr. West, who asserts that it was done in self-defence. The crime was committed in the doctor's laboratory, where he was engaged, with a colored assistant, in manufacturing an inhaling gas called electro-oxygen. It is charged that be murdered the colored man with this gas and that he subsequently skinned him and then blew np the laboratory containing the dead body. The State will claim on the trial that the crime was committed for the purpose of obtaining £S,000 in insurance policies on the life of Dr. Weet, and that the body of the colored roan was skinned and afterward blown np with the design of palming it of as bis own, be meanwhile intending to go to some distant point where he would be joined by his wife after she had drawn the amount of the policies on his life, Before he could leave the State, however, he was arrested, the fact being folly established that tho mutilated body found was not his own, bat tbnt of bis colored assistant.

have a great signification. Graduation denotes that a very important curriculum of studies has been completed, and a high degree of efficiency attained. It is the term which was originally used to designate the completion of a course of study in College or professional school, and indicated a thorough and somewhat extensive education, either in the arts, sciences, and languages gen

ment, as of medicine, law, Ac. The

taught therein. Only these can be taught in the time allowed. The pu pils who complete the course the most thoroughly and successfully have neither the amount of knowledge, nor the discipline of miud which entitles them to think, or the public to think, that they are well educated. There is no doubt that the teachers take great pains to impress upon the minds of the pupils that they have but just began the work of education, that they have only come fairly, up to the foot of the mountain, and are ready to begin the ascent. But here come in these words Graduation and Diploma, and thoy undo all that the wise and faithful teacher attempts to do in this respect. Not only undo all this but do positive harm besides. Graduation is looked forward to for several years as the end. It is made the incentive to study and to continue in school. It corn sand in the midst of a "blaze of glory" lighted up by the presence of parents, companions, and dignitaries, the Diplomas are given. Fight it down as you will, yet, with all this, there comes a feeling, not only that something important has been accomplished, but the evil thiug, that here is a good place to stop. It tends very strongly to cultivate the false notion that the graduates are well educated. It makes them satisfied to go no farther in the study, to consider their education "finished." So our girls leave our public schools at graduation, and settle down into the waiting period between school and marriage with as great contentment as if they really had received a diploma from one of the highest schools in the land. The girls who have too much sense or energy, or too little money which is sometimes equivalent to sense and energy, to settle down into mere do-nothing dolls, waiting for purchasers, thon give themselves at once to teaching or whatever else that is honorable which may open, and seldom think of pushing on to a real substantial education. The boys think themselves ready lor business cr even to study a profession. Boys graduate and go into business who might and ought to go on and get a thorough education which would fit them for honorable places in society :&s intelligent business men. And they are satisfied to do this, and their pnrents are satisfied to have them, because they have graduated. Others go to reading .law when they are no more qualified to read law than they are to study up and prepare an important case. They can read the letters, words and pages of Blackstone, but they can no more comprehend the principles Involved than they can understand a language they have never learned. They have not the necessary discipline of mind, the power of thought and insight, the habit of appli ttion which come only with years of study and training. Except In very rare Instances, will they even make a respectable, if they do a decent figure In tho profession. Tbey will hang upon the skirt of it, if they are not cast ofl entirely,possessing the name, empty of meaning or use. Others still who lack for something higher push off for

Without in the least questioning the correctness of the very high estimation which we put upon the public schools of this city, yet it is a fact that only the rudiments of the various branches

THE Indiana Woman Suffrage Association, which was organized eighteen years ngo met in annual session at Dowling Hall on Wednesday afternoon. The attendance from the other parts of the State was not large, but the proceedings were of considerable interest. A careful reading of the voluminous reports in the daily press do not show that the convention accomplished any work of sufficient importance to claim space in our crowded columns.

A CHICAGO patron of amusements utters this plaint: And what shall be said about the chignon and the bonnet nuisance in public places This is getting to be beyond all endurance. While I was sittting in the Jubilee crowd on Thursday evening I had to content myself most of the time with merely hearing the music, being able to sec scarcely anything or anybody, owing to the frightful bunches of l'alse hair and superfluous wearing gear covering the heads of the girls and women in front aud on all sides of me. If those abominable fashions are to continue, can a law be passed compelling tho wearers of such monstrosities either to keep out of places of public amusement or to remove their head-coverings before beingsoated? It is an outrage upon drcency for such people to be allowed tolmake annoyances and nuisances ol themselves at the expense ol everybody else's rights and pleasure.

TIIHRE comes to us a hideous story from California of a fight to the death between two butchers with knives, which is no less remarkable for the insignificance of its cause than the formal and business-like manner in which tho affair was managed. Failing to settle a trifling disagreement concerning their work by means of fisticuffs and hard words an adjournment was taken to the neighboring meadow, where, with their companions of tho slaughter house forming the traditional ring, they sought a definite and effective settlement with the weapons of their calling. A scene more incongruous with our boasted civilization could not be conceived than that presented on this soggy, mosquito-ridden meadow, whore two American citizens were flashing long and sharp knives, making vicious slashes at such portions of

each

other's anatomy as their training in the abattoir told them were the most vulnerable, and acknowledging the applause of the spectators by a more lively delivery of their blows. When the terrible blade sank to the hilt in the body of one of the combatants, and the other fled, gashed and bleeding, tho momeutuous question on which the twaiu had disagreed was doubtless considered sotttled.

THE most noted tbihg in New York theatricals is the introduction at the Fifth Avenue Theatre of "Madelein Morel," which has met severe criticism, especially at the hands of Mr. William Winter, of tho Tribune. From a column and mora of criticism, we give the following:

Except for moral obliquity in the treatment of an unclean topic, there is nothing in the play to give it distinct character. Its five consecutive scenes, based on a tangle of virtues and vi«es. extravagant aspumjrtions and fanciful incidents, move prosily from the atmosphere of the insulted church, and the present a young woman in situations which are distressing to the feelings, in proportions as the feelings are unenlightened by common sense.

THE SHOWS.

Never in the memory of the "oldest inhabitant" has this locality been visited with such a rapid succession of big shows as at the present time. The advertising bulletins have been loud and strong, and tho entire show going populace seem to have resolved themselves into a committee of the whole to visit and decide upon the merits of the opposition concerns.

THE CHICAGO SHOW

Appeared on Monday, had two large audiences and made a favorable .impression. The circus performance was altogether satisfactory. Thero were Jamos Robinson and Clarence, and the "Belle of Japan," a rope-walker and a lady wire artist, and Robinson's learned dog, and Robinson's wild buffalo, and male and female trapeze performer, aud Mrs. Stokes' trick horse, and Mrs. Stokes' little daughter Kate and Cinderella, all good, and well worth seeing aud paying to see. But it was simply a circus thero was nothing outside of It except some sideshows —not included in the circus bill of fare. The menagerie amounts to nothing, and we did not see the museum. "The Great Chicago Show" travelling over the country is a pretty good advertisement for Chicago, and we presume that city will see that it nevor comes to grief. Some of those Sioux Indians looked as if they might have passed for Chicago white men had thoy been well washed In the lake before they started from homo, and then kept themselves out of the way of paint. There may have been an Indian or two in the crowd, but the Indian element was very thin. The air ship was— well—a "bag of wind"—and tho little children and their little ponies were interesting. When the Chicago show comes round again it will be welcomed and treated well.

BAILEY A CO.

Claim attention to day, with their "British Museum, South Amorican Menagerie, James Melville's Australian Circus, Roman Hippodrome," and all that sort of thing. Its tents are spread opposite the gas works, and the Indications are that it will have no cause to complain of want of patronage. This establishment is the oldest in America, having been a perfect organization for twenty-one years, and has a reputation second to nono for fair dealing with the public, and presenting all the curiosities tbey advertise. This season new additions have been made In the way of rare animals, costly trappings, and an augmented Hippodrome display. This evening a largo crowd may be expected, and those who desire comfortable seats should put in an early appearance.

OLD JOHN BOBINSON

Comes with bis big show next Thursday. As a circus manager no man bears a higher reputation that John Robinson, and few can look back upon such along and prosperous career. His success has

been

great, and bis promi

nence and reputation as a manager has been attained by always bringing before the people a show that was in every

respect

worthy their support. Dur

ing his career as a manager, Mr. Robinson has organized several of the largest and best traveling shows that were ever on the road. His present combination is the result of years of labor, snd In

will be seen the teach

ings of years of experience. The circus depsrtment is one of the best, and ths menagerie is large, containing some rare specimens of wild animals. This will probably close the outdoor show season for some months st least.
