S UMNER IS DEAD."

Twenty-four years ago the anti-sla-very sentiment had made such headway in the State of Massachusetts, that a very few abolitionists were elected to tbe legislature. Although the number was small,* yet, as is often the case, the few held the balance of power between tbe two great »parties, Whig and Demo cratic. As the democrats in that state had nothiug to hope for, they were ready for any sort of a combination against tbe Whigs, who were accustomed to have things there own way there. The result was tbat the Democrats united with tbe abolitionists, and elected Charles Sumner to the United States Senate. This man, admitted thus to tbe Senate, carried with him a power more destructive of this same Democratic party and its principles, than was borne within the walls of Troy by means of the wooden horse filled with armed men. From the time that Samner entered the Senate he has stood foremost in the battle against slavery and in favor of equal rights. From that early day when opposition to slavery was a reproach, and almost certain political death, or ostracism, until tbe present jtirae, when there are none so mean ai to do it reverence, Charles Sumnlfc- has been a leader in the political warfare against it. Sometimes he has been so far in advance tbat only a very few of tbe foremost ranks could see him and whenever they,or the whole great army, came to the place where they had seen hitn, he was not there, but still farther forward calling or beckoning tbem to follow. He bas been the one conspicuous figure in tbe forefront during all this groat battle. He was a hero in the strile. His enemies have honored him with an intensity of hatred seldom witnessed. His friends have honored him for his great talents, his con rage, his unwavering integrity and his unyielding perwisteooe, albeit tbey did sometimes wish tbat he would give tbem a little peaoe and not push so fast and so far. Tbis gallant hero has fallen at last, and a nation mourns. If be could oniy bave secured the passsg* oi his Civil Rights BUI, for which be bas been fighting in his usual persistent manner, it would bave seemed that his work was entirely done. But tbis will come. His dying vn.t',8 to his friend Judge Hoar, "Take true of my Civil Rights Bill," ant oniy show the intensity and disinterestedness of bis feelings in reference to tbia measure, but, if we mistake not tbey constitute one of the most eloquent and eM'.ctive speeches in its favor, which coold bave been uttered. There will be tganjr who, for tbe honor tbey bear tbi* n«a,aa well as for their con vietJonsof tbe right, will take oare of tbia bill, and Me to it that tbe great principlee of equality and jaatiee contained in it are framed into Jaw

poeitions there but it ia the men who, like Sumner, lead tbe people, moulding public opinion, and nurturing tbe great prldplea which grow to be the controlling power in tbe nation. Sum ner in the United States Senate was In afar higher position than that of Presi dent. His same would have abed its lustre on tbe Presidential chair, but a seat in tbat chair would have sdded no honor to his name. Where bis mantle will fall It is hard to tell.

THE ANTI-BA XTRR MKXTINQI There is nothing WQrse for a nuisanoe tban tbat public attention be tirt cted to it, and nothing better for the public. It matters very little whether it be the friends or the enemies of the evil who call attention to it. If it be a real nui eaneo a defense is almost, if not quite as bad for it as an attack, a cry of "Let it alone" almost as aure to help in its removal aa the cry "Take it away, On this principle we welcome tbe present agitation of the question concerning liquor selling. As tbis business is carried on there can be little doubt that it 1B a great evil, amounting, in very many instances, to an absolute nuisance. While therefore we regretted to see the name* of some of tbe individuals an nouneed to speak at the Wednesday evening meeting, in such connection, yet we had no regret whatever at tbe meeting. Tbis business, and the evils connected with it, are such tbat they cannot bear publio discussion. Tbe more attent'-.ob is called to tbem, the stronger will be the feeling tbat something must be done to restrain them. And tbia forces the question ''What shall be doneT" These meetings assist in the solution of that question. Those who are opposed to the present law and the present movements, will bo likely to bring forward the strongest objections, and expose tbe evils which creep into the movement. If the temperance people are wise they will learn much from tbis opposition, and will rid themselves of that which may be wrong, or which may weaken the cause. There is no surer way of advancing

good oause strongly and

successfully tban by oarelully studying what its enemies say of it. We ace giad, therefore, and think all who desire the promotion of sobriety and good morals, should rejoice with us, that not only temperance, but also anti-temper-aoce meetings are held. We are glad that some whose names were announced did not put in an appearance at that meeting, but the meeting Itself was desirable, and will help the solution of tbe imp' rtant question so prominently before th» ublic. Let there be candid and full ui3cussion of this question on all sides

claim a fair share of patriotism at least as much as Artemus Ward had, who was willing to sacrifice all his wife's relations on the altar of his country. We never have been able however to get up any great enthusiasm over the Pbiladelphian effort to have a big Centennial Show. It may be tbat we are jealous of the Quaker city. It is quite possible, if tbe suggestion were made to spend from five to twenty million of dollars here in Terre Haute for patriotic purposes, that we might look at the matter in a different light. Yet it is hardly probable tbat the light would be any more favorable to discerning tbe merits of the case. Aside from all prejudice we think tbe pi n. in its present shape, not worthy of support, especially from the publio treasury.

Philadelphia is not a good place to put so much money. It is true that Independence Hall is there, but tbis is more tban matched on the other side, by tbe Ring which manages matters in tbat city. It ia a Ring as bad as any that ever ruled New York. The only diffarence is tbat it is a Republican Ring, and that doe* not make It any batter. And tbe worst of It is that there is not that healthy public sentiment yet in Philadelphia tbat can cast tbis ring off. It may come to it before 1876, but there are few signs of it yet. it is not a good place to put publio money, exporting to get any thiug for it In return. And then it is an important fact tbat one of tbe moat unscrupulous ot ail the Sons of Pennsylvania, Simon Cameron,is leading the effort to got Congressional aid. Better hold the moneybags tight.

An international exhibition Is the bight of absurdity. Itisan Idea worthy of Anierioan impudence, that all the world should be invited to send specimens of ita produota to tbia oountry that we may put ours along side, and tbow how wa beat all creation. The impudence riaaa to the aubHtne whea we invito tbe "big folks," kings, queens, etc., of theat natiede, to flotn* over and see the ah«»w and learn what pigmtea they are beside "Brother Jonathan." Who would have thought tbat nation oniy a hundred years old o&uld develop each an idea aa that If there is to be an exhibition at ail, by ail means let it fee confined to our own nation, **f coarse, leaving tbe latohatring out to any body who tuay ahooaa to give It a friendly pull.

Until Philadelphia beeomes more bonsai, and the treasury ef the country is to abetter oondltlon than a^present, weoljeetto any appropriate a in Atd of this scheme. And we object to the International affair wherever it is to be he|d«it whoever may have the management of It, or pay the bills.

THESE"Mardigras celebration^*mast be loathsome affairs. Of the New Orleans display Mr. Fulton writes as follows:

Most of tbe cyprians of the city were driving about in open barouches arrayed in spangles and fanciful dresses reaching half way to tbe knees, witb flesh-colored tights, making a great display! of extremities, some of them keeping them hanging over the side of the carriage. Others were dressed as men with false mustaches." *$?

CISTERNS VERSUS WELLS. The quality of the water used for drinking and for cooking purposes, has a direct and powerful influence upon health. A few years since at one of the largest and most popular boarding schools for young ladles at tbe East, sixty of the pupils were taken down almost simultaneously, with a terrible fever, and many died. Investigation revealed the fact that the sewer was leaking into the well. If only an ordinary family bad been living there, no investigation would have been made, and the health of the entire family would very likely have been destroyed. There can be very little doubt that much of the sickness of different famiIlea and communities is occasioned by impure water.

Ordinarily in sparsely settled communities wells may be so dug and guarded that the water in them shall be pure. Though this may be done, yet it often is uot. It is very common to find the oesa-pool, the barn-yard and the hog pen, and the privy, all near neighbors tor the wall. When this la the case more or less of the filth of each one of these worka ita way into the well. The amount wh'ioh geta there depends considerably upon the nature of the soil. Wherever wella are used, even In the country,Inuoh greater precaution than ia ordinarily taken, should be used to bave the well aa far removed as poasible from all reoeptraolea of filth.

In this city, it ia almost impossible to havi pure well water. Aa ia wellknown, at tha depth of from thirty to fifty feat, we come upon abed o! gravel through which water passes freely. Many of tha eeas-pools, and tbe vaults are sank to this bed of gravel. It con-

dailt aniMB

ging exoept for water to be need elsewhere tban in tbe household, should cease entirely in tha city, and large and well cemented detente should take their place. And in the country, if welie are used, tbey should be carefully guarded, by their position, from contamination. Attention to this matter would do morn protect tbe general health of a community tban almost any other single thing. ..

Louisville Courier-Journal: "Shall we burn or bury is one of the revolutionary questions now agitating the public. For our part, we are not in favor of going hack on the old plan. It was good enough for our fathers, and will suit us as well. The fact is, wo expect to die some time, and prefer to be laid away in the shady recesses of a sepulchre, witb the screws in the casket loose, and, in case of reanimation, to be able to kick the lid off, rather than to be thrown into the furnaoe of a locomotive and have no chance of escaping through the smoke-stack.

Tbe New York Worid says of the great temperance movement: "Tbe suocess which is attending this strange movement has a still deeper significance. It shows how firmly fixed in tbe rural mind of tbe country are the roots of two of tbe most important elements of civilization—respect for women and respect for reli- ion. If these meetings were held by men, or held by women unprotected by the show of piety, they would probably be booted away by jeering mobs. Tbis conjoint respect for the female sex and for religious observances, which is one of the best features of the rural American character, ought to be carefully preserved and cultivated."

FASHION'S FANCIES.

ever do such an unwise thing

as to laugh at your grandmother's attire. Some day you may want to borrow it. It is more than probable just now that they will be revived, as antiquities are being revived in every direction. Tbe old fashioned gold beads, especially, are coming in vogue, and promise to be patronised extensively.

One of the ornaments picked cut for the coming bonnet is tbe Russian pomport. It is of several colors nicely blended and stands upright from tbe sido of the headgear liko sn illuminated cornstalk. Of course it will be fashionable. Anything imported and with aa high Bounding name aa "Russian pompon" cannot fail to be.

One of tbe lateat ecoetflilcitiee of fashion Ia a color named "elephant's breath." And yet there are some people who think that fashion is of no use in the worlds' What but faahion could have ever disooversd the color of "elephant's breath." One of these days we expect to see our ladies arrayed in a beautiful tint of "ass'a brays," or clothed in the "voice of the universe," or necorated with the "lion'a roar," or gandy with the "rat's squeal." Nothing is Impossible to fashion that's nonsensical.

TITS TEMPERANCE WORK. "irofeftaMm, TM**OFTH« Night." In the last MailT. T. criticises the action of the Temperance Committee, perhaps deserved in that particular phase of the caas, but neverthe'.eas there was much good work done by the Committee in unearthing and exposing tbe frauds of the permit business, lor it has became a regular business, and permits are go ten up to order at ao much (about fifty dollars) a piece. If the temperance people would luroieh money to foe a first-elass lawyer, wa could do much towards restraining all illegal applications for permits.

T. T. overlooks tbe fact tbat tbe committee arranged a regular temperance campaign, lasting through the winter, and intended to be onntinued through tbe spring and that campaign has been so far conducted successfully. At Sugar Qrove, at Plymouth Chapel, at tbo African Church, at Fort Harrison 8cbool House, at tbe United Brethren Church and ft Dowling Hail and all our meetings have been successful not a break in tbe chain.

Tbe reports of these meetings in all of tbe city papers bave gone to thousands of readers, and have demonstrated that there is strength In the temperance movement, snd done much towards awakening tbe people from tbe apathy snd torpor hitherto so characteristic of tbem in regard to this instter. T.
