ONE CHARGE.

ABOUT HOSPITALITY. Everybody is hospitable in seme directions. At least the exceptions are too tew to bo reckoned, IT President Grant, or Gov. Hendricks were to visit our city there is hardly a family, high or low, rich or poor, Democratic or Republican, which would not gladly extend a generous

hospitality. And many

of the doors which would open quickest and widest to receive Huch a guest, would not open at all for the reception of a stranger of less note, or no note, even though he needed it ever no much. Probably the committee having in charge the entertainment of the Synod last week, had ao difficulty in locating the "big guns." And it is barely possible that some houses in which there could not possibly be found room to receive any guests, would have suddenly expanded under the assurance that the Rev. Dr. ,the most noted preacher in the state, or the Hon. elder, would be sent. There is plenty of hospitality to be had for those who reflect honor upon theirhosts by their position. People who are hospitable to such, are entitled to the credit of being hospitable —in their way. Their way is not altogether the best way.

Most people are hospitable to their Mends and intimate acquaintances, and to those whom, in a social or business way, it will pay to entertain. Almost any business man would find room at his table, or a bed in his house for one of his test customers, and almost every family would welcome, in reality or pretense, one of their own particular circle. This is about the extent of the hospitality of many households. Yet they are entitled to the credit of being hospitable with certain limitations, hospitable in their way. Away it is, which is better than no way, and yet not much better either, for most of those entertained would be about as well off without the entertainment.

Others go farther than either of the above classes, and are ready to entertain people who suit them. If somebody "real nice" comes along, the best the house can afford is freely offered. But unfortunately there are a great many disagreeable people in the world. In (act there are very few with such a variety of graces and accomplishments as to be agreeable to everybody. Of course it is pleasanter to have only "nice" people in the house. Hut real hospitality is not controlled by the pleasure of the host entirely. The very essence ef hospitality is the subjection of tho pleasure of the host to that of the guest. There area great many people who are not exactly agreeable to all others who, at times, have need oi tho hospitality of those with whom they may not be in the completest affinity. Of course there ate clowns and exacting boors who respect the rights and feelings of none but themsel ves, to whom very small obligations are owed. But the people who am not "real Rice" often need attention and conrtesy ia the home. So the people who confine their hospitality to those who are particularly agreeable to them, are hospitable also in their way, and their way is better than those mentioned before, bat though better, it is not the best way.

True hospitality extends a cordial welcome to the stranger or guest of whatever rank, position, or temperament, to whom it would give pleasure or do good. The high are cordially received and kindly treated, and likewise the lowly. The intimate friend is mado heartily welcome, and likewise the stranger. They whoee presence i« profitable and pecnliarly pleasing, we received with generous and kind attention, and also those who are so unfortunate as net to be able to bring gain or bestow moel» pleasure. Tie people of the South are noted tor the heartiness and genuineness of their hospitality. Any man who traveled through the South before the rmr, cepeeMl? If he went on horseback, will remember with pleasure the cordial invftaiioQ to alight, and stay to dinner, if it was after breakfiwt, or to stay over night, if it chanced to be after dinner. He will remember also with pleasure the oordiality with which be was received within the house, and the efforts to make hint welcome. These efforts were so natural and easy as to deprive them ofcJl appearance of efforts. And it will nyt l» the least diminish, but rather enhance the pSeaaors to know, that every •imager who ehaseed to atop at that loor, would have been received with the same eordialHy. And many of them pleasant ansociationn will be connected w-Hh families living in a Tory humble v.. ay.

There la something, though leaa of It la the dty.

O* course readers cam elevate their neaes, and declare that their hoiaea are their own and they will use them for their own pleasure.

And the only satisftKJtion ,10 be had concerning these, ia the reflection that in their attempt to get the mart pleasure for themselves out of whatever they chance to possess, they loae the greatest pleasure and profit which these paaarasfona are capable of giving. They are dogs dropping the meat to snatch at the shadow. In their attempt to get the most *they get the least, and lose the best.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

A CHANCE FOB A BARGAIN. Votes, single or in small lota, are likely to command a good price In the coming Legislature of this State, If the Inpendents should chance to have some enterprising men in their number who are willing to put their hands behind their backs while somebody all "unbeknown" makes a deposit therein, and then making a rough guess as to who the depositing friend is, vote accordingly, they are not likely to lack opportunity. We mention the Independents, not because they are likely to be more corruptible than the members of the other parties, but because, being uncommitted on several important questions, they could sell out with leas suspicion. Votes in the Republicaia party will command just as good a price, and the party is quite as likely in its large number to have men ready to sell as the Independents, but they would be "spotted" at once.

There is the Baxter Bill upon which both Republicans and Democrats are committed. The Independents had a short and first-rate temperance plank, and yet it hardly committed their candidates to the support of this law,though it did ring out clearly ngainst the "personal liberty" nonsenso of tho saloonkeepers. The Democrats are in a minority in the Senate certainly, and so cmnot repeal the Baxter law without the help of the Independents or Republicans. Now the liquor men, aiter spending their money freely to carry this election on that issue, are not going to hesitate to pay a good price for a few votes, if that will secure the repeal of the law. If their case is in doubt they will be promptly* in the field with all. the money that is necessary to secure a majority, if money can do it. Republicans will hardly dare to sell out, and besides, in their present temper towards the Germans, they are likely to stick to their platform out of spite, if for no other reason.

Then comes the choice of Senator. seems pretty well settled that the Democrats cannot elect their man without the aid of the Independents. And here too, those who hold the balance of power are uncommitted, and can go either way with eVen less occasion for suspicion than on the temperance question. A seat for six years in the United States Senate, is a prize for which possibly some of the aspirants, or their friends, would be willing to render an equivalent, and the equivalent might be something handsome. There are plenty of men who, looking at these possibilities, most heartily wish tbey were to be in the Legislature as Independents. It is to be hoped that all the members of the new party who are elected are honest men whose votes are not in the iaar_.t. And we know of »o reason to think the contrary, except the Act that in these days all parties do have men, and generally not a few, who put the interests of their own pockets before their regard for tho public weal. The ftot that the Independent party la young to fovorablc. It wiU do no harm to keep an ey® upon the members »f the Legislature of whatever party. It does not injure an honest man to have his accounts or his political course carefully looked after, and honest men do not object to it. It Is the thief who docs not like to have his movements too closely watched, and the defaulter who objects to having his accounts examined.

TUB* have a man in Massachusetts, who, when nominated for Congress, says to the convention which nominates him, "Tho great questions of the day are such, in my opinion, as call for the exercise of an indepeudeat judgment, and should |te met and acted upon untrammeled by party," and the convention applauds the sentiment. What is to become oi parties and party discipline, if the standard hearers utter such heresy —and it la approved by political conventions? Such independence of psrty dictation may too good for the country, but It Is fraught with great peril to partie*, and no man is fit to be a politician, or hardly a voter, who does not put the Interests of his party before the interests of his country. These are degenerate daye upon which we have fallen. Ask the politlciana if it isn't so.

A TBXPBUANCK Democrat has turned up in an unexpected quarter. It is M. B. Kingo. the State Senator from the strong Democratic counties of Clay and Sullivan. At the temperance convention In this city, on Thursday, Senator Rlngo was in attendance and said lie was one of the Democratic Senators who voted for the Baxter Bill, and he did not think It would be repealed, but made stronger and better. Mr. Rlngo continues in the Senate for two years, and says he will supp»rtits essential features at tho next session.

In New York they have a liquor law which makes the seller responsible for civil damages, and a' ftither has just recovered $2,000 from a ten in Brooklyn for the death of his son while Intoxicated. The Judge, whose name Is McCue, ruled that the license was no protection to tho p«rtl«ft against damages that it was not necessary to prove the man thoroughly drank, but that legal intoxcotton was th© condition produced by intoxicating liquors. He instructed the jury to consider the expense of the ft»nend and burial, the wlueof the young man's services up to the ago of 21, and add Mich exemplary damages aa their judgment should dictate.

MIXTI interest baa recently sprung up in England on the subject of the be* means to prolong human Bfc. Attention has been called to the matter by a work on "The Means of Prolonging lift After Middle Age,*' written by Dr. John Oardnar, and by another work on the "Phyaieat Condition of Centenarians," by Sir George Duncan Glbh. The former author gives these simple direotions as favorable towards attaining long life "A tranquil mind, welt-e&-leettd diet, moderation in the use of wine and other stimulants, exexdaa short of frttgne in favorable states of the weatlter, confinement to a warm bouse in cold and wet weather, welt warmed and ventilated sleeping apartments, clothing adapted to the seasons, maintenance of the animal heat of tho body, particularly of the lower extremitiea, careful avoidance of external influences tending to produce disease, malaria and the like judicious bathing to secure a healthy skin—these are the principal points claiming the attention of aged persons, even when enjoying the beat health*"

THE many friends of Mrs. Laura Heinly, wife of Prof. Heinly, were startled and grieved yesterday to learn of her sudden death, from congestion, at three o'clock yesterday afternoon. It is but a few days since, that buoyant with joyous liie, accompanied by husband and children, she came up tho road from Vlncennes, her former home —this afternoon her body goes back on the same road for burial. How true that "in the midst of life wo are in death."

THE Rockets camcover from Marshall yesterday afternoon to play wnh the Sycamore Base Ball Club at tho Fair Grounds, and were beaten by a score of 41 to 4. Two professionals from St. Louis, assisted by tho Sycamores, did it —and so the Sycamores cannot claim credit, in except outwitting the Rockets, who, we understand, endeavored to get these same men. The Rockets before the game was called refused to allow this to be made the deciding game, and aaother match is to be played, when we hope both clubs will bring only their own men into the field and play a square game for the championship.

TO-NIGHT from twelve to three o'clock the earth will pass between the sun and moon causing an eclipse of the latter the total eclipse will last half an hour. The orb will be high up in the heavens and the show will be quite interesting if tho cloud curtain is drawn aside. The moon will not be entirely invisible during the total phase. During that stage it is usually dimly discernible, having a dull coppery hue, due, a scientific man tells us, to the refractory power of our atmosphere, which bends tho solar rays inward so much towards the axis of the shadow that a small quantity of light is thrown upon tho lnnar surface.-

THE Band began to play and the people began to gather from all parts of the city. This was last evening. The occasion was the "opening" of R. W. Rippetoe's elegant White Front Grocery. Tho recent improvements to the exterior and interior add so much to the appearanoe that tho boys said it should have some formal acknowledgment, and Rippetoe yielded to their wishes. So Tonte's band came and played and the people came and admired. It was an inspiring scene. The largo salesroom was profusely lighted with gas and lamps,while Rippetoe and his assistants, with coats off, met with happy smile tho visitors, who were allowed free run of the house —which, extending from Main street to the alley, down cellar and up stairs is filled with the greatest abundance of almost everything in his liao to be found in this market. We have not space to particularize, but, with hundreds of others congratulate friend Rippetoe on this evidence of substantial prosperity in hia business. Ho- is a clever man, and deserving of the lullest success.
