TWO NEWSPAPERS,

In which all Advertisements appeal for ONE CHARGE.

USE AND ABUSE OF SATIRE. Satire is often made one of the most powerful and useful weapons of war* fare against harmful folly and aotual wrong. Many times folly and wrong get so intrenched in custom, fashion or habit, that they can only be reached by the sharp point of satirical language, There are wrongs and follies which simply need to be named, or at most, to have their true character Lrought out by sober reasoning, to be most heartily condemned. Of this cluss, for example, were the abuses which bad come into our courts of which so much has been said of late the plundering^ which went on under the old Board of Commissioners and the alleged oflences of the County Physician. The mere statement of these offences wns sufficient to awaken public condemnation. There was no need of satire. In faot, it would have been almost impos sible to have made use of it so as to equal the effect of the mere declaration of the facts in the case. Swift says "It is hard to satarize well a man of dis tinguished vict s." JJut there are other oases which argument can not touch. It is too blunt to penetrate the sophistries under which they lie, or the thick, smooth shield which custom or habit holds before them. It is not an uncom mon thing, for example, to And men of great Immorality who oppose religious or philanthropic movements because the church or some other organization is so corrupt. On the other hand there are men of immoral practices who lay great stress upon all the minor points of the religious faith in wliioh they have been raised. The absurdity of both these classos can only be reached by satire. Then too, many of the greatest and most harmful follies, and often very great wrongs, get the sanction of custom, and men become so familiar with thein, that they fail to see their real character. In cases like the above, sharp' sntire cuts its way through the sophistries and lays in two the shield, exposing its hollownessand tho wrong behind it. There can be no doubt that the satirists of the press and platform haveuu important plicoto 1111. All the great reforms which have been accomplished aro greatly indebted to them. By them evils have been, and are reached which cou'.d have been touched by no other moans.

But it must ever be rememberjd that the only legitimate uso of this weapon is against harmful folly and real wrong. It is a weapon of too great power for harm, to be used carelessly, or for mere sport. There area thousand habits, customs and peculiarities, personal, provincial and general, which are by no means wrong. They harm nobody. In somo cases they are a part of the individual, or the community^ inheritance, and cannot be changed. Neither ia the.e any spccial reason why they should bo changed. The satirist who uses his weapon against these is carrying on a needless warfare, and giving needless pain. Ono of the lowest and most reprehf nslble uses of satire is to wake it a means of bringing ridicule upon personal defects, physical or mental. There is a whole realm of personal peculiarities which are, as it were, the personal property of the individual. If these peculiarities do no harm to society, then no one has any business with them, much le*s has any one basinoss with peculiarities which are Inherited and can not be changed. Yet this Is often the field in which the sharpest satire employed. It invades personal rights and puts to the torture for no good.

The skilled satirist is 4n dangar himself, Just "s the skilled markemen have their shooting matches aud delight in shooting the birds for the pleasure it gives them to exercise thelrskili, so the satirist is in danger of using his weapon for the pleasure it gives him, regardless of cooscquenees. He sees an absurdity, and with sight of it there oonaes tho temptation to paint it as he sees It for tbe public. And what makes the danger all tbe greater here is the fact that the public likes it. Just as tbe crowd of sdmirers cheer the success of the marksmen entirely regardless of the fluttering death struggles of the poor bird, so the public delights In the (tats ot the satirist, and cheers him for his skill entirely forgetful of tbe pain inflicted perhape upon a helpless, or an Innocent man or woman.

The eflfcet of this upon all parties is bed. It only stirs the anger, the honest indignation and the bitter resentment of the parties treated so unjustly. It injures society by making its members unnecessarily f*mlllar with needless suffering. The human sympathies are blunted quite enough by familiarity with neoessary suffering without adding to this fiunlllarity inflicted out of mere wantooneaa. The wont inlueooe of all is upon the satirist himself. The influence of using this weapon is

TEftRE-llXtlTK SATURDAY EVENING MAIL. JUNE 81. i«o.

bad even when tt is used properly, but no character can aflbrd the hardening eflbet whieh oomee fbrthe Infliction of pal« for aalf-tratifleatlon. This la the exliome of selfishness, and tends di rsetly to root out the better, the loving, the sympathising sentiments of the heart. So there are great dangers so* eompanying the use of a weapon so keen as satire. No doubt often great and unnecessary pain is inflictcd by Its use, snd sometimes great wrongs com mitted by its aid.

In judging, therefore, of any particu lar satirical artiole, it Is not enough to condemn it simply because it is satiri cal, neither on the other band sboold it be approved simply because it is well done. Satire and satirists are good or bad, very good or very bad, according to the purpose which governs them. If, for exsmple, the writer of the T. T. article in Tbe Mail, when be uses satire, as be sometimes does In a masterly wsy is aiming at harmful follies and real evils, he is doing a good work, and worthy of commendation. If, on the other hand, be aims simply to ridicule people for harmless peculiarities and thereby gives needless pain be is to be condemned. Our readers sre as well able to judge as we, when he has, accor ding to tbe above rules, been worthy of approval, and when of censure.

THE EDITORIAL EXCURSION. Business in Louisville this week threw us in company with the excur sion of Indiana editors to Wyandotte Cave. This cave is situated back of Leavenworth, this State, some forty miles below JeffersonvilJe, and is said to be a formidable rival to the Mammoth Cave.

Tbe editors, accompanied by a nuin berof ladies, forming a party of over one hundred were received at Jeffersonville Tuesday noon and tendered the hospitalities of the city. After dinner carriages carried the party to the famous ship yards, tbe Government Arsenal, an immense building, Smyser's mills, at the head of the falls, aud to the Ohio Falls car works, the largest works of this kind in tbe United States. Next the party visited tbe State's Prison and were kindly received by Ool. Sbuler.

Tbe brief visit to the penitentiary was one of much interest, an$ there was much regret that more time was not given at this point. The contrast between the merry, laughing, chatting party and the sad, anxious, careworn faces of the criminals was painful. While most of tbe men would look at each passing visitor with a quick, lightning glance, others seemed to have lost all of that Eve-ish attribute—cariosity —and you could not attract their eyes or attention, even if you were to Btand closely by or jostle against them. This deadening of curiosity is probably attributable more to the convict's knowledge of his disgrace than from any loss of human feeling. Several are graybeaded— 00, 65 and 70—in their Bhame. Tho sound old saying, "old age is honorable" is here made a lie and to look upon men so near to death, impiously goifcg to the grave with their aged faces wrinkled alike by crime and time, is a sight which coins tears in the better heart of every fooling human. And then again, side by side with these dishonored old men, are seen those whose chapters of life are yet scarcely opened. Hoys fresh and fair, with the roses of their cheeks not yet faded out of the crimson bloom of rhildhood, are here as dtegracod criminals at an nge when they should be under the sheltering root and prayers and care of parent or guardian.

s-# x-r

Of tho many convicts sent from "tills city we saw lew that we recognized. The fact is, most of Vigo's delegation are at rangers who wander here, commit soma theft, and are quickly dispatched by our active Criminal Court. John Stovens, under life sentence, was at tho Warden's botise, and is said to be one of the most trusty men in the prison. Sam Bonds, the well known colored bnrber, looked fat and sletk, prison fare seeming to agree with him. His two year's sentenco expires next March, when he promises to let whisky alone and lead an honest life.

In the female department curiosity was about equally divided between Mrs. Clem aud a fat little colored baby, born in the prison. Mrs. Clem was highly gratified at moi ting several Indianapolis ladies and gentlemen in the party, and made eager inquiries from home. She is a remarkable woman. In conversation one moment her countenance beams with smiles, and In an instant the features relax, showing that anxiety and the suspenae of four trials, with prospect of a fifth weighing heavily upon her.

From the prison, the excursion party

taken to New Albany at six o'clock, snd assigned quarters In tbe evening. handsome reception was given in the Opera House at night, and on the following morning carriages took tbe visitors to the Industrial establishments, the pride of the city. These include the woolen and ootton mills, the largest establishment in the west, DePauw's glass works,^hs only establishment In this country manufacturing plate glass, lbs Forge Works, Nail Works, Boiling mills, etc., all of which showed that New Albany is taking tbe lead la manaftMturingestablishments in thisStato, and is on the high road to substantial prosperity.

Here we laA the party, about to take tbe boat tor Wyandotte Cave, looking forward with great plessars to that part of the excursion programme, and at a loss for words to fittingly express thanks tor the generous, hospitable^roeeptions and entertainments in fthe growing, prosperous cities of Jeffersonvtlie snd New Albsny.

A HOU8& OF OUR OWN. Next to being married to the right person, there is nothing so Important in one's life ss to live under one'a root There is something more than a poetioal charm in the expression of the wile:

We have our cosy houae itiathrioe dear to us because It Is our own. We hsve bought It with the savings of our earninga. Many were the eoda water fountains, the confectionery saloona, the necessities of the market we had to pass: many a time my noble husband denied himself the comfort of tobacco, wore bis old clothes snd even patched his boots and I, O met made my eld bonnet do, wore the plainest clothes, did tbe plainest cooking—saving was the order of tbe hour, aud to have'a home of our own* has I can our united aim. Now we have it there is no landlord troubling us with raising tbe rent and exacting this and that. There is no fear harbored in our bosom that in sickness or old age we will be thrown out ef house and home, and the money we have saved to pay rent is sufficient to keep us in comtort In the winter day of me."

What a lesson do the above words teach, and bow well it would be if bun dreds of families would heed them, and instead of living in rented houses, which take a large share of their capital to furnish, and a quarter of their earnings to pay tbe rent, dress and ealt accordingly, would bravely curtail expenses and concentrate their efforts on having "a home of their own." Better a cottage of their own than a rented palace.

THE General Superintendent of tho Pennsylvania Railway has issued an order to the passenger conductors on that road in relation to train boys aud news agents. It would be to the credit of railway companies, and to the comfort of passengers, if all companies would "do likewiso." Among other things the circular says: "It having been alleged that news agents have offered for sale in tho ears of this company, without tbe knowledge of their employers, Immoral and obscene publications, passenger conductors are directed to see that such publications are not sold, or offered for sale, on tbeir trains, and to immediately report any attempt to do so to tbe Division Superintendent. Passenger conductors are also instructed that the news agents are subject to their discipline while on thair trains. They should see that they are not allowed to offer their commodities in such a manner, or with »ueh frequency, as to discommode or annoy the passongera, and they should not permit any article to be sold which might soil or Injure the opholstery of tbe cars or the clothing of the passengers. The sale of price portfolios, gifts confections, or similar devices partaking of the nature of lotteries, is forbidden on the cars of this company."

WE have seen many notices of the injustjustice of English magistrates who sent a poor woman to jail for a month or two, because she picked up a stick to boil ber kettle with, or a starving man who took a turnip from a field to stay his hunger, but a parallel wa» furnished a lew days sinoe by Recorder Hackett, in New York. A man picket up a ten cent scrip on the sidowulk t\nd converted it to bis own use. He swore he did not mean to steal it, but the jury found him guilty, and the Recorder sentenced him to five years at bard labor in the State Prison. His business was done up in short order. Boss Tweed and his eonfederates are still at largo and taking it easy. yi

IN* Quincy there is a society called The Knights of the Golden Fleece." The editor ot the local pspef wrote a complimentary article on the society, heading it with the name. Tbe brigand compositor was on hand, and the editor was delighted when he took up the paper the next morning to see that he bad written an article on "The Nights of the Gutted Fleas." The circulation of the paper has declined, and Quincy editor travels around evenings with an inquiring face toid a six-shoot-er looking for the offending compositor.

Mrs. Lsmb, the Wieconsln woman who poisoned two of her children and two of her neighbors, is not satisfied with ber proposed imprisonment for life, and has appealed to the Supreme Court of that State for a new trial. Criminals seldom appeal to Supreme Couits in vain. Why should she not have half a dozen trials as well as Mrs. Clem

Under anew law in Illinois allowing women to hold certain offices, Miss M. E. Lewis has been requested by t&e citizens of Springfield, irrespective of party, to become a candidate for County Superintendent of public schools.

A ooRKKSPOSTDKirr of the Baltimore American writes an aocoaut of tbe present styles of wearing the hair in Berlin, which may prove ef Inter* s: to the ladies. For the last MS nights sensational plsy called the "Lady in White" has beeh attracting great crowds at the Grand Opera Hons* It is of the "Mack Crook" ordpr, and not a whit behind that spectacular monstrosity in human display. Tbe ladies of Berlin wear little or no false hair. The hair Is frined all over, and the back hair confined in an lnvtelble net, while the front stands out Itfthmfpled confusion., On the top of the head a bow of ribbon Is wwrn with short fringed ends. Kar-rings sre Infinites finally small, and generally of diamonds or pearls. The ladles of Berlin seem to bo slngulsrly Independent, which sounds strange from a epuntj^ whose women aro supposed to be the most domestic in Etfrop* They eome to tbe opers without male sseori, sometimes singly, sometimes In groups of four or five.

Mrs. John Smith.

't OOOTKimOHS.

Terrs Haute has tarnished numerous subjects for newepeper srtlclee during the pest two weeks, tho most notloeable of which are the ferae oalled the Woman's Righta Convention, and the humbug named the Spiritualist Con ventlon. Theee are important simply CM prolific subjeots for newspaper correspondents. In themselves they "will scarcely live long enough to be condemned."

I wended my way to the former of the two conventions expecting to find the hall crowded, to hear eloquent and forcible speeches from tbe women, and to see the opponents of tbs csuse put to a speedy flight.

I found perhape fifty persons,' all counted. After an ominous silence the President, Mrs. Swank, took the chair. She is a polite, pleasant lady, and throughout the meetings her remarks were sensible and to the point. The Secretary also took ber seat. She was tall, thin and angular.

Why is it I exclaimed impatl ently, "that Women's Righters are always so lean and lank T" At this moment tho Vice President arose, she resembled the picture of tbe Kentucky giantess, but proved herself to be an earnest, intelligent woman.

I am as zealous in tbe cause of woman's advancement as I ever was, but I do not wish to be identified with that convention. The officers were totally ignorant of Parliamentary laws. In women as a class, this might be exousabls, as they have had neither opportunities nor necessity for learning, but when women attempt to fill men's places, they certainly should be qualified to occupy them. The President of a State Convention ought at least understand h9r duties sufficiently to notify members when they are out of order, to see that one resolution is disposed of before another is taken up, to comprehend what is meant by a motion for the previous question, and to know that in ease of a "tie" she should give the casting vote. Had it not been for Judge Scott 1 think they wculd all have been sitting there yet wailing for somebody to tell them wbat to do next.

The entire work of the convention seemed to be tbe passing of resolutions which nobody will ever care to read, much less to act upon. Resolved, tbat Mrs. John Smith wants a hundred thousand dollars. Now she might sit and resolve the above till she was a hundred years old, and if she made no effoit to obtain tbe thing desired, she would find herself in tbe end as poor as at the beginning. I

Tbe Woman's Rights Convention iresolves tbat woman should have equal rights' with man, waits a year, and, finding nobody lias paid the least attention to the resolution, calls another convention, meets, and refeolves the same thing again.

At one time we were asked to resolve that we would act with that political organization whieh gave us the most assurance of support. I thought for a few minutes we were all going to sell our vote before we received it, aud w:is about to rise and suggest that we send for Warmoutb, of Louisiana, and auctioneer the Woman Suflragists off to the highest bidder, when tbe President gave the casting vote and tbe resolution was lost.

Is is not necessary to say more upon this sal ject. If women will oaly educate and fit themselves for the positions th*»y wish to occypy, tbe doors will open to admit them, they can regulate the question of wages for themselves. They will gradually advanco In powt-r and influence, aud finally tbe ballot will be granted as a matter of course, but it will never be obtained by Womai'g Rights Conventions and wordy resolutions.

The second convention was productive of equally great results—a set of resolutions.

I am not prejudiced against Spiritualism. From one point of view the doctrine is a beautiful one, that the spirits of tbe loved and lost are ever present to guide, comfort and protect us, but is it as pleasant for the spirits as it is for us? Wbat would be the feelings of a father who returns to earth and finds a son ruined by tbe wine cup or the gaming table? or a mother who looks upon a lovely daughter, strayed from innocence and virtue? or a husband who draws near an idolized wife and finda her In tbe arms of another.

At a seance a -gentleman whispered to me, as a face appeared, "that Is my first wire," and I thbught to myself, •'well, If I were your first wife I would come down out of thst clothes press and sit between you and No. 2."

I have attended (he seanCSs, have examined tbe cabinet snd medium. In tbe latter case 1 became convinced that though cleanliness assy be next to godliness It is not at all essential to Spiritualism. I sat in the dimly lighted room listening to the music box and trying to keep my mind on the tune, aa the Doctor requested, and yet not being able to tell what tune it was. Finally I whispered, "I feel like a fool." A pinch and a frown reminded me that I'd promised to keep still if I came. Tbe faces appeared very obligingly for a while and then ocased. After waiting some time we were informed that the room wsa too warm, tbe spirits couldn't materialize. "I supposed they came from a warm place," I whispered again, /or which I was scolded and taken home.

I read in the evening paper that Mrs. Potts ssw her husbsnd whils st Terra Buuto. He was in Dr. Pence's cup

board. As his wife didn't recognize him he retirod a few minutes and putg on his spectacles! Query, where did he get the apeotaolcs Are they kept in the cabinet for the accommodation of near-sightsd spirits Mrs. P. also saw her aunt who, horrible to relate, excused herself from the audience long enough ta put on her bonnet!

How often, when going the weary rounds of the millinery stores, seeking for the latest fashions, have I oongratulated myself that there would be no bonnets in Heaven,but this shatters! all my hopes.

Mrs. P's aunt also showed to tbe audienoe "the aide of her face distorted by epilepsy!" So it seems we've got to take all our bodily Imperfeotlons along with us "to the other shore across." -t

In regard to these seances the questlon is always suggested: "What good do they accomplish? Who is made better thereby 1 should be as willing for my dead friends to be exhibited in a glass case by Barmun as to have them stick their heads out of a cabinet into a room full of people met there to gratify curiosity and find a subject for ridicule. If

But to return to the convention. Many of the resolutions were excel-' lent, particularly the one relating to the serial evil which reads, "Resolved that woman should not be an outoast, and man defended when woman Is the I victim and man tho aggressor"—yet taking it in connection with the I "whereas" which precedes it, I oannot I see but tbat it means "since we haven't the courage to out tho acquaintance of 1 the men we will satisfy our conscience I by associating with the women. I wish somebody would explain bow this is going to make matters better.

Finally tbey condemn Woodhull and her doctrines. Poor Victoria! The Woman's Righters won't have her, and the Spiritualists won't have her. She will have to retire from the world and seek appreciation in the society of her numerous husla ids,

To oonolude this lengthy and unsystematic artiole I make Dr. Pence a proposition. The first time I ever met Mrs. Stewart, she fixed her eyes intently upon me and exclaimed, "You are mediumistic." I laughed and repiled, "I guess not. I wouldn't have lived all these years without finding It out." "Nevertheless you would make a good medium," was tbe reply. Now since I am "mediumistio" and therefore cannot "disturb tbe conditions" may I be permitted to enter the cabinet with Mrs. S? If I do not detect a fraud I will nover again lift my voice or pen against the oause of Spiritualism. Communicate with me through. Mr. Westfall, or address.
