A ORKAT MUrfMT SOLVK0.

Soon after the shade* of night settled down upon the city last Monday evening, an odor very TocuJiar, not in kind but In strength, pervaded street after street, and alley after alley, stealing in at window* and doom that chanced to be open, and saluting the nostrils of thoee who www abroad. Many as they met friend or (be anxioualy inquired, What smell* so?" Some temperance fanatics asked, "What stinks no?" Thirsty soula, longing for a drink, fbuud their mouths watering, and anifflng, exclaimed, "(Jolly ain't that good T" Between nlnpand ton o'clock it became apparent to all that ho odor was that of whisky. It seemed to come from the direction of the public square. T. T. not to be outdene by tho reporter on the staff of tho Journal who, following his ears, visited the blast furnace, followed hisnose in tho direction of the perfume. He soon found himself in tho midst of a thirsty crowd, all of whom were investigating the same phenomenon which had called forth T. T. Oh tho crowd surged towards the Square, some going down Main street, and some down Ohio. Finally all brought up together before the door and windows of the Recorder's office. Tho rich, but not rare odor evidently emanated fVom this room. A skillful nose dexterously applied to the koy-holo settled tho lact. T. T. being the most prominent representative of the press, as well as the one most deeply Interested In feretting out all places where spirits do lurk, was put forward. Trying the knob he found that it turned readily under pressure, and a gentle push upon the door caused it to swing upon its iron hinges, and the odor, almost stinting in its sweetness, came pouring forth, and while the nostrils wero thus pleasantly sainted, there appeared before the astonished gaze of T. T. and the crowd, five human beings whose countenances were familiar and readily recognized. T.T. asked, "Whence this strong perfume of whisky f" "Gentlemen," replied the leader of the company, "Bourbouiam is risen from the dead, and we whom yon see constitute the body which it inhabits, and the odor of which you speak, is its own sweet breath The mystery was solved. We were satisfied, and the next morning a series of wonderful resolutions appeared in the Journal, and all knew whence came the smell of the night before, and what it meant.

THE RESOLUTIONS.

The first appeals to the history of the party for a certificate of good character. This is only a matter of taste. If the character which history gives Bourbonism is good, there is very little use for the term bad. Probably they mean that it is good considering the material out of which it is made.

The second resolution declares for economy in expending the public funds. That is sound democracy. T. T. neve* know Democratic officiate to spend any public funds that they could possibly keep themselves. But this plea will not do them much good, for the Republi cans, by long and ffcltbful practice, can do this just as well as the best Democrats to be found if any thing, they can spend less and keep more than the Democracy.

Next they say. "A strict accountability of every public officer of the city ia*he line of his auty.

No sabBtdles of the public raor— terprise* of any character unless be demanded by a decided majo people at an election.

same

Jo Blake illustrates this principle the best of any Democratic official whom T. T. recollects at the present moment.

Opposition to sumptuary laws," Is the next doctrine announced, which means that they will not enact or enforce any laws concerning the sale of anything a man chooses to eat cur drink. It is an invitation to all men who are in fitvor of free whisky to attend the caucuses in their respective wards. Elect their candidates and Hie tyranny exercised over the poor saloon-keepers shall eease forever. This is a generous bid for the suffrage* of those who refuse patronage to any man whom wife, sister, babies or forty-«leventh cousin refoMS to drink whisky or boar. Ho tempcraoee seed apply. Go in bummers and win.

At first sight T. T. thought there must te some mistake in tho following "The iw. iabie and proper ob u,e* of nil laws. tMnd or bad. uaui tiw la apmecablt •••wanes''! w#*. *rv«rCL(NR1|H(T^ JDMET AIANI,

It strode T. T. that these men intended to declare in t*ror of tlw eijforooment of all taws. Bot on careftil atsdy he saw his mistake. None of your "strict-en-forcement" heresy hers after all. Nothing about "enforcement* at all. It is a principle with them fort laws shoold be observed, that is to a "reasonable end proper" extent. 1 hey do not want, »«d do not Intend to have any wwreasoi11« or tatfprofier otvervftiKft or law*. As an assurance that this principle is put forth in all sUr^*-, the Oomttt4^ wBl at any time Itu a man who .J see that poUttotta fwrta«» are an pnpafsittfcat the Baxter law shall not be onresaapably or improperly #l' ^red.

On Friday morning the community was startled and made sad by the announcement that the spirit of the great and good Democratic Party, which had revived and asu-^sd so much joy and hope, had concluded not to remain in its earthly tenement, and had returned once more to the world of spirits wheneo it bad ewoe. It is askl by those who ought to know, that firom the first it waa apparent that the amount of temperance sentiment which is in the atmosphere did not agree with the health of the resurrected ghost. It was fondly hoped that it might survive especially If it should receive in return for its "implicit pledge" an inttision of Teutonic blood. But lato on Thursday evening it became evident to the friends that the end drew near. Baxter's presence In the city was too much for it in its enfeebled condition. It passed away singing

Cant stay In this wilderness But few days—few days." There is loud lamentation among those who had hoped to secure some crumbs of comfort, a (few small offices through its influence.

THE MALE BOOK AGENT. He was of medium size, and his countenance was wreathed in an electro typed smile (stereotyped won't do here, as there is nothing approaching to brass in its composition,) and a shabby suit of ready-made clothing hung round his un gainly form. His dubious hands clasped a hugh volume bound in library style, while the weed round his shocking»bad hat and a faint odor of cheese, onions, and tobacco, made assurance doubly sure—it was our enemy, the male book-drummer.

How did wo do, he asked. Very well, we thanked him. Did wc think the fruit injured by last night's frost. We thought not. Did we think it was going to rain or hail or snow or sleet. We said wedidntknow. All this time we had kept him on the upper door-step while our anatomy filled tho entrance, for we had registered a solemn vow never to let one of them into the house that supported us in our hour or trial. Wiping away a pearly tear, which hung suspended from the apex of his blue nose, he returned to the charge.

He was introducing a work of great mer— Man," we said, interrupting him, "we want not thy books. That is, we want many things but have not the wherewith to secure them. Thy time must be precious. Go then where glory waits thee, and be as successful as thy modesty deserves."

Then he vowed that money was no object now that he would return in six weeks and then surely we would have the available, or could borrow it. Wasn't Congress giving us he didn't know how many millions of dollars. Wasn't the panic a thing of the past, and wouldn't we have (and he laughed knowingly at the mere idea of our not having) three little miserable dollars and a half to in vest in his valuable book. Should he not pat our name down anyhow, and wouldn't we agree to take the book when he came again if we had the money, and, if not, 'twas all right, of course. Then he discussed the doctrine of chances, Mill's Political Economy and a little of Whateley's logic,with Malilhus's conclusion as to the causes of poverty thrown in.

Immovable as a rock we stood, and said that we had no money—never expected to have any and besides we did not want his book.

With admiration beaming in his eye and determination oozing out of his features, he took our hand and assured us that we were a man after his own heart. How honest and straightforward our conduct! Why wasn't everybody so candid I Ha would show us a copy of Ida book—not that he expected to get oar name for a copy, oh, no I but in order to hear the opinion of such a Man as to its intrinsic merits, its moral tendency, Its beauty of appearance and its extraordinary low price. Alas, we are but mortal, the best of us and, mind yon, though wo knew that the vain deceiver was using all his arts to get us Into his foil clutches though wo plainly perceived that the book of verbiage he flnng ont was baited with the worm of {lattery though we had been taken in and done for by such bad samaritans a doKsn times prevlouslv^-thongh all «ad experiences thronged oar sensorium in one tumultuous mass, yet we suicidally asked him the fatal question—

When he had finished tho thrilling description of the last of the seven candlesticks, we sternly informed him that we did not want his work at any price— nay, that we wouldn't take it as a gift. He heeded ns not but furiously continued,—

All the dreadful experiences of the last few hours rolled in on us in one fell torrent, and we rushed madly after him and killed him, Yes, we did it. We are not repentant. We glory in it, ha, ha!

ROCKVIIIE, IND, BRUCE.

DR. DIO LKWIS received a most aeci ded cut from the temperance ladies of Indianapolis, this week. At the month ly meeting of the Women's Temperance Union, a letter was read desiring to know whether the people there desired to have liis aid in the temperance work, and offering to deliver his lecture for §150.

About two hundred students were present, and the meeting was conducted lu a very spirited, butorderly and business-like manner. The very hearty and unanimous aflimative votes given upon the question to adopt the following resolutions, indicated that this was no boys play, out a firm declaration that students have rights which the faculty are bound to respect:

WHEREAS, The faculty of Indiana Asbury University have recently publicly dismissed from the University a number of our fellowstudents, without giving them an opportunity for any defense or hearing, and without even a notice of what was pending against them. And a number of others having been demerlted in the same manner, and

WHEREAS, The same authorities subsequently gave five of those dismissed notice that they should not thereafter appear upon the University premises, and afterward gave us, the other students of the University, notice that we shouldhave no association with those who were dismissed therefore be it resolved, 1st. That we condemn the Bogus Asbury Review, and that we avow and advocate the respect and obedience due the faculty, but while we recognize such as our relations and duties to them we also claim that, as students, we have rights and privileges which their authority in nowise permits them to abridge, in any manner, at variance with recognized principles of justice. 2nd. That in their treatment of our fellow students as first aforesaid, we consider that they have violated recognized principles of justice, and thatour fellow students have suffered gross injustice and mistreatment at their hands. 3rd. That as the College Chapel and premises are considered and used as places of public resort on proper occasions, and consequently free and open to all persons who properly deport themselves thereabout on on such occasions, and since the faculty have forbidden five of our fellow students to appear upon the University premises, notwithstanding their entire innocence of any improper conduct whatever on such occasions, therefore we consider that the faculty have assumed an unwarrantable and unreasonable authority in so doing, and that their action Is wholly unjustifiable. is our relations to each

4th, That as other as faculty and students only permit them to forbid us to associate with persons of improper character, and since they have wholly failed to show any evidcncothat our said fellow students are men with whom it would be improper to associate, we consider their notice forbidding such associations in the same catalogue as their actions last before mentioned, and both of a character wholly unbvcomlngthe dignity of their position as faculty of the University, and therefore be it resolved, that we hereby eartlly extend to our said fellow students, our warmest sympathies, and the cordial right hand of fellowship. 6tli, Resolved that these 'resolutions be furnished to the press for publication.
