TWO NEWSPAPERS,

In which all Advertisements appear for ONE 6HABGE.

BOY ROBBERS AND HIGHWAYMEN. The frequency with which boys are committing crimes amongst as is start ling. Wh«n the Wallace Sisters recently gave one of their performances in the Opera House, some boys entered the dressing room during the evening, and took several valuable pieces of jewelry This week the dailies have informed the public of th« robbery, by boys, of Mr. Arnold's jewelry establishment, Then, besides these rotfries in which articles valued at hundreds of dollars are taken, it has come to be no unfre quent occurrence for boys to commit a sort of highway robh r\ on our streets in broad daylight. Several of the Mail's news-boys have been seized by boys larger than themselves, and held, while their pockets were searched, and their money taken from them. These robbers aro known among the boys as the "Searchers," and they are nothing more nor loss than a band of boy highwaymen. Last Sunday afternoon, at the corner of Seventh and Oak streets, two small boys were halted by a larger boy, and compelled to empty their pockets, and the elder of the two having a knifo, it was taken from him.

Five or ten cents, or fifty cents seem small Bnms to make any ado about,and an ordinary pocket knife Is not a very valuable article. Hut it must be remembered that to boys these are treasures valued as hundreds rtbousands of dollars are by men. The five or ten cents of the little newsboys, and the first knife of the youngster, are possessions whose loss causes deeper grief than large sums to older people.

But the worst feature of all this thing the fact that there is growing up right among us, a class of most daring highwayweu and robbers. The boy who at ten or twelve wil I rob another nlckles and knives, at tweuty, or ev»»n younger, will be ready to demand

Your moti'.y or your lite" on the Htre«-t, «»r to break into the house and commit burglary. And those who are already taking valu-ibi" articles of Jewelry Htni the lik", are welt ou in the way to "pr«»f»M«l0i»Hls" of the worst »ort.

What ought to t»e done about thin? Naturally the kinl hearted cit:8-n dislikeaio institute proceedings tit court ag ihi^t a mere boy, or even to refuse to suppress n.«uie», and hush the matter

TRRRF-H AUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, JANUARY 31, 1874.

THE TEMPXttAJSCE MOVEMENT. The Conmittee appointed to carry on the movement inaugurated here a few weeks since, evidently mean basiness. Tbey are holding a series of weekly meetings in and about the city, which meetings are very largely attended. It does not seem to be a port of their purpose to promote total abstinence, but to create a public sentiment in favor or enforcing all laws, and the Baxter Bill in particular. If we are not mistaken there sic some in hearty sympathy with this movement and giving it their aid, who are not professed or practical total 'abstinent men. But tbey are men who believe that the traflc in liquor needs stringent restraints and regulations.

The Committee seems to be doing a very sensible thing, and is deserving of sympathy and co-operation. The position of The Mail- from the beginning has been that the law should be enforced. We have a growing conviction that, in the main, the law is a good one, though it would I*ar change in some particulars without detriment, probably .with improvement. But good or bad, let 5t be enforced. If it is bad that will bring out its evil qualities more quickly and prominently than can be done in any other way, and will effect its repeal. If it be good, its enforcement will reveal its good qualities. The great mass of the people, with all their differences, and their bitterness, honestly desire the public good. They are open to conviction in reference to the desirableness of any law. If it can be shown that the Baxter Bill, by its enforcement, is injurious to publie morals, or is oppressive in its character, there will be little difficulty In getting it wiped out of the statute book. If its enforcement protects the community against crime,and promotes the material prosperity of tho state generally, it will be hard to get it chan d. Enforcement takes it very quickly to the Supremest Court of all, the ballot lox. Enforce all laws till they are repealed, this is the only proper course. jj*?

ThkSpiritualists must effect a change of base or surrender. Prof. Baldwin has carried the war into Alriaa. The greatest of uis his feats was capturiug their "wonderful child medium" and inducing her to show just bow the manifestations" were produced. So far as the tying, playing on musical instruments, showing hands and faces, and the cabinet performances generally, are concerned, thay are most eflectually "pin:* -J out." It has been demonstrated ttv.tall these wonderful performances re very easily duplicated without th" aid of spirits, and one of thoir mediums, mnst firmly relied upon, acknowledges that she has not bad the aid of spirits, and affirmR that the other child medium has not.

Now if our Spiritualistic triend* will pitch their cabinet out of the window, and let the old music box rest, and give us some really valuable communications from the departed, then there will be a chance for a renewal of investigations and controversy. If tbe spirits will turn in arid lend a helping hand, and give undoubted evidenceof intelligence, the case could be reopened. An it

the popular and almost universal verdict i* "Hutnbug." In saying this however we do not intend to express the opinion that the leaders in this movement have been privy to the tricks. The medium who exposed her tricks claims that she deceived these lea lers among spiritualise, as w«ll as the rank awd file. Strange as it may seem to outsiders, the** men w**re doubtless lecetved. We say this in justice to their reputation-

Vinkland, is in the State of New Jer*«y. It has a population of some 12 000 sou'8, drawn there principally bbruunh the aervU-e of printer* ink, it having been liberally and exiensively advertised. Sotue yeirs ago the publisher of almost every paper in tbe land was offered a towu 1 «t tor a very small annum ol advertising. Tbe bulk of the r*sidensol Vtueland are understood to be imbu-il with the spiritual! tic belief, with the addition of that sort of anarchy, in.tiiBr8 matrtmoui-tl, kuov*n as free love. These tbiugs, combined with tbe fact that the place is peculiarly lnaccesaibie, poiuted It out as the proper spot tor h«* id tog tbe recent aull-fasblon convention. Tbe gathering called in a »t o« Bkirtleea and short-naired women wf tbe maeculine order, with a sprinkling of long haired, btoodieaa looftiug, tal-low-faced men of tbe feminine-utascn-Une typo. Tbe obffcot of t**» uacou.h gatberin* was to enable tbe naiuan race, or more particularly theaoof the female persuasion, to escape from the chains of tbe tyrant—"Jaahiou." Lotten were read of absent, sympathising parties, pitching into tight lacing, drag* gllig akirta. Idiotic head gear, etc. Some were sensible, aotue wild in the extreme. As theae splrusaitaUo, freelorv, anti raahwnltea are largely in tbe minority, we pteeauMtbalr proceedings will ba*e HtUe cJSTeot.

Thk Indianapolis Son says that most of the beer sold in that city is brewed one day and sold the next. j-i

Thk women ol Onto are still carrying on the war against saloons by means of prayer, and the movement is spreading and is generally successful. -s

Thk Boston Advertiser says: "The prohibitory law has been conaplcnloue* ly a failure, if its object has been to p^ptjuyte the canse of temper: ne$,

A confiESroyPKCT of the Cincinnati Commercial tipOQ the death of the Siamese Twins, comes forward with the story of three children born in Ireland united in the same manner as these two, who lived to be ten years of age, and then died simultaneously,

The Indianapolis Journal has published an extensive correspondence from different parts of the State in reference to the results of the Baxter Bill. And the letters show that the law has had a very marked influence in decreasing drunkenness. There is little reason to doubt that, in the country and smaller towns, the law is quite generally enforced and with favorable results. I11 the cities it is doubtful whether as much can be said.

The women who are praying down the saloons in Ohio have met one fellow who has little regard for God or women. In the first place he managed to have a bucket of beer thrown over the ladles. In consequence he was thrown in Jail. Upon his release he was invited to a temperance meeting to make a speech which he did in the honest bar-room style. His last exploit was that of forbidding the ladies admission to his saloon unless they would permit him to share in the devotional exercises. He occupied more time than auy of the rest, making three long prayers la which he was less complimentary to tbe women, than they had been to him. He is getting tbe name of the "wickedest man" in Ohio, and doubtless enjoys the reputation as heartily as ordin ry people do a reputation for honesty and decency. His name is VanPelt,

Db. IjIVIngstonk, the well-known Airican Explorer, whose di-ath has been often reported, seems, trom all accounts, to be dead iu reality. He died last August from illness prtnluced by wading in water to his waist for soveral days. It Is a woncSer that, with all the exposure be has endured, and tho tfild beasts and wilder men with whom be has mingled, that he bad not died long before. He went to Atrica in tbe first place as a missionary. He evidently loved tbe daring life which he led, and while It was, as would generally be reckoned, a selfdenyiug life, yet it is quite probable that, with bis tastes, it would have been a greater denial to have been ooutpelled to stay within tho bounds of civilization. However that may be, be has done a great work for Africa, and has contributed very largely to the geographical and ethnological intormatlon of the world, more largely than it falls to the lot of many men to do. Ho was a great and uood man, and like all meu who accomplish «reat things, an enthusiast in his chosen pursuits.

A WALK. AMONG THE CHURCHES NUMBKR KINK.

placed about the congregations ordinarily assembled they are very roomy indeed. And although the day was a bright and beautiful one, this ebarch was quits roomy to-day.

THK VnilSTKB,

As is well known, is of a grave and benevolent countenance, and venerable with his gray hairs. Tears have not bereft him of force. He speaks with a lond and earnest and yet pleasant voice. He prefaced his discourse by speaking of a Scotchman present in the congregation, who on being invited to join the Bible .class pulled his Bible out of bis pocket. Why, said he, persons who have been brought up in the Free Church of Scotland, would carry a pocket Bible even if they had to do without a breastpin! He thought a Bible ready to use would be a useful thing. Said he might preach to amuse (a sly bit at some brother preachers) but he believed In expository preaching, in getting instruction out of the scriptures. Aud then he gave a very good sample of that kind of preaching from that eloqueut passage from Paul, embracing these words—"that ye may comprehend with all saints what is the length and breadth, the height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which passeth all knowledge." Of course I might say a great deal on this question of the most profitable style of preaching, but as it might seem to be in opposition to the implied opinions of the Reverend gentleman I must refrain now. And my attention was not entirely centered on the sermon and I cannot speak with certainty of its merits. I had hoped my nerves would not be waked up to-day, but the conduct of a lovely child who pulled her papa's nose and slapped her mamma's face, just brought me up. Now, how does it happen that these who have got tbe children don't know how to manage them. It is the easiest thing in the world and It is strange that parents so seldom take my ad viae when I offer it. Now, Mr. Editor, would not you like to have me write a series of letters on this subject? I am sure it would do a vast deal of good. Then it might be made a profitable speculation by having the series published in book form to be sold by subscription. They would go off like hot rakes. You bad better think seriously of it. This Is the only minister that I am aware of that has attacked that modern evil genius of

DARWINISM.

Unfortunately I do not know how he has treated the subject. He doubtless regards It as a pure speculation with evil tendencies, And that is the way It looks, I imagine, to a mnjority of fairly intelligent men and women. But then our skeptics who all of a sudden have become so wonderfully scientific, ery out,thatisali trom prejudice! Just so—but bow is it that tbey are so perfect in that respect? Is it possible that their prior opinions may have prejudiced them in favor of Darwinism which is supposed to upset the Bible? I have known persons so prejudiced againit the good Book as to put faith in cabinet tricks, rapplngs, &c., and claim they got their Ideas of immortality from those senseless and abominable farces at Pence's Hall. Why peo pie prcter (for there seems to be a preference here) to believe they are descended from monkeys, tadpoles and protoplasm, rather than that they are made in the image of God, accountable for their deeds, and destined to another existence higher or lower aa they may choose, if passing strange. But I may be taking the ministers ideas—if so I beg pardon. Now I come to think of it wouldn't you like a series of articles from my pen on this exceedingly interesting subject, running through the dog days? *BB

Since I have been writing these letters, Mr. E litor, I have been forcibly struck with the idea that w«, both men and women, have extremely poor conceptions of each other. Wo often form optnious of others that are quite.the opposite of their characters, and this not through any sort of hypocrisy about them. We think of this grave man aa being without humor, of this woman with a faciualing smile as an earthly angel, we think of this one as good produce I a good volume o*harmonious but not smart, of that as a wise sounds, very agreeable, indeed, and I person, but as deficient in some of venture th are cap »ble of a higher the virtuea, and in every case we may class of music.

be mistaken they are In tbelr Inner natures, and sometimes to their intimate friends, tbe very opposite of tbe character wo ascribe to them. This is not vuite anew idea but came strongly to me when I thought my neareet frieod would^ever suspect myself as he author 61 theae humorous and philosophical artiolee. What! That little thing so plain, MO bashful, ao grave, tho author of theae witty. Intellectual productions! If I were to announce my name right bore it would not be credited. It would be oonaidered a Jake on the individual. For this reason, although I know all Torre Haute is dying to know, I must defer tbe revelation yet awhile. There Mt» reasons for and reasons against.

Weil, to-day as I walked to church In tbta lovely winter weather I had some very pretty thoughts, but I cannot tell them here. When I turn my muse you may bear tbe in. My steps were directed to tbe ftSST mSBTTKMAH OHtmca Which is another of our plain, eomfotrtable churches.

Tbe Idea of hts going out to tbe barn with Arthur after hia continued etoriee about hia golpg to sail on the wide, wide eea, and there producing an atlas of tbe world and going through bis performance of a voyage round the world was positively ridiculous and absurd. But new I see bow it was. His heart was set on tbe sailing, but tbe flesh wss wesk. His enthusiasm wrought on hia imagination until he voyaged Indeed in spirit, thus reaping the enjoyment and avoiding tbe disagreeable events of the real set. 80 now it is indeed a greet pleasure to take down tbe map of tbe noble State of Indiana and trace the windings of tbe beautiful Wabash, famous alike In history and song. It is Indeed enjoyment in anticipation. And right h*-re comee the momentous question, phall I at tbe flood aeek peaee and quiet |m a foreign shoref Shall I resign fame
