Week's Issue Is, In fact,

TWO NEWSPAPERS,

In which all Advertisements appear for

ONE CHARGE. No MORK will the voice of wisdom echo from the halls of legislation in this State for the space of two years.

Now THAT the legislature has adjourned, the prophet of the Indianapolis Journal is out of a situation and his services can be secured at reasonable rates. Don't all speak at once.

THIS Clay County miners have gone to work again on the two-fifths basiB offered them by the operators, making the price per ton eighty cents. Out of fortyfive mines there are now but four idle.

THE •Governor has signed the new liquor law, and it goes into effect August 1st. Dispatches from Indianapolis state that decisions have been rendered by the courts that in the meantime

AVO

are

without any law upon that subject.

MINISTER SCHENCK'S admirable work on the harmless and interesting game commonly known as draw poker, is in course ol publication. The style is to be pocket edition, and the price, ton cents, will being it within the teach of all, so it is "presumed that gamblers will not havo so much advantage over common folks after all.

THE Journal of this city thinks the winding up of tho late legislature must indeed havo been a melancholy occasion to the individual members of that much talked-of -body. This is a high compliment, coming as it docs from a democratic organ, and insinuating that its constituents devoted their undivided attention to drawing their per diem, while theji went it blind on'all matters of vital interest, to tho State.

INDI ANAPOLIS is tho center of the univorse, has a population of 105,000, has more town lots laid out with less use for tliem than a city with a- million inhalitants, is the best point for the location of manufactories in the country, is the capital of tho state, has more check than the world combined, possesses a lunatic asylum, and yet it is not happy. Its debt is growing to an alarming extent if the Indianapolis Journal is to be belie vod, and tho powers that be are not over particular about a few per cent, in tbe rate of interest which paid. Of course it is called democratic reform, but thon it can't bo removed in a day, so parties wishing to locate will please make a note of it, and stop this way.-

THB "spell" is still working on the minds of tbo people. They are having it everywhere, and here in particular. In flact they are running it in the ground. Every match is attended by tho same crowd of contestants. Yen go to the church door and pay your way in, just the same as you would to any other place of amusement. It is a temporary weakness on the part of tho public, and as churches are always hungry to raise the wind for some benevolent purpevas of ooume they take advantage of it. What good results from these contests wo are unable to see. Any ass can ransack a dictionary and cull therefrom words which are obsolete, and are net heard once in a lifetime, and to spell which correctly is only guesswork.

URFOBS adjourning on Wednesday last the Board of County Oommiarioners passed an order to the effect that tbe ooanty would grant no more aid to the keeping of transient paupers. For some time past the county has been paying for the board of this species of gentry, while tho city has leaned back upon its dignity, and to all requests to lend assistanoe has answered "nary red." As neither tbe Township Trustee nor the Board of Commissioners are authorised by law to mako appropriations for tramps the question arises, whose duty is It to provide for thorn? In all other cities, either in this of other states, the council makes provision for them. But Term Haute seems to bo favored with a aet of city tethers wboee ideas of eoouomy have reached that stage which can be called by no other name than pensriousness. It is the city whioh draws these tramps here they oomo looking for work, and not being able to And It Mid being without funds, somebody has to fcsd them, and it plainly somas with- ... tbe province of tbe city to do it. It is true the city can give them no vfbrk. Everything is in tip-top order betw—so for as nature can make It sd Tbe tueets are xnodels of neatnen and deanlioees. Cvw at the worst times of tbe yeax Ute mud is nowhere more than a toot deep, ind the tboroughfcres woukl compare fevorably with almost any of the county roads. It is tnpe we have no market house at present bo* then we are soon to have one of mammoth proportions, and at a great expense. Some people are inclined to opinion that the sauie amount of money invested in workhouse would prov»* more benefirlal, bnt of course they don't know anything about what we need, and aaoti opinions are as naught,

THB Chicago Times, speaking of tho new Senator from Tennessee, says: "Not long ago it was Mr. Andy Johnson's policy to make a speech on the Pinohback case. In pursuance of that policy, ho sat up a fow nights with the constitution, as his custom is when he has policy on tho brain, and made a grand diseovery which he communicated to Mr. Nasby, as usual, and wlilch-Mr. Nasby communicated to the public. The grand discovery was that "the constitution requires a senator to havo been a citizen for ten years, in order to bo entitled to admission to the senate." And it was a discovery, and no mistake, for the only portion ef the constitution relating to this matter which anybody except Andy can find declares that "no person shall be a senator who shall not havo attained the ago of thirty yoars, and been vum yoars a citizen of tbo United States, and who shall not, when eloctcd, be an inhabitant of that state for which he shall bo choson."' But Andy finds another year somewhere in tho "sacred hustru ment," and that, in his estimation, effectually settles Mr. Pinchback's hash. The reason why this discovery was not made by any other senator in the course of all the long debate is that tho constitution is nearly obsolete in congress.

Had it been mado at the outset, what world of words would havo been saved! But, alas, it is not certato ^iat Andy will enlighten tho senate on this point after all. He informed a Times correspondent on Saturday that ho was undecided whether ho should deliver his carofully-prepared speech, and so dam tho groat stream ot debate. IIo had about made up his mind to reserve his strength and his wisdom until a more fruitful topic should present itself. What can it mean? Has he spent another night with the constitution Has he discovered that the American-born negro beeame a citizen of the Linited States upon the ratification of the thirteenth amendment, which made him a freeman Has it occurred to him that a native freeman is necessarily a citizen of tho United States Has ho learned that Secretary Seward certified that the thirteenth amendment was ratified and a part of the constitution on the 18th of December, 1S65, or three months more than nine years ago? In short, has he concluded that he had better not make a fool of himself, for the huhdredth time, by proclaiming his discovery on the floor of the senate It looks like it. There is a little hope for Andy yet. We shall see what we shall seo when he addresses himself to the discussion of that moro fruitful topic."

THE editorial excursion from this state started upon its: t6ur this week they will bfe goneabont three weeks, and during their absence will visit nearly all the poifits of importance ih the South. The party consists of about eighty persons, many of whom are leading newspaper men of the state. Before starting, the Indianapolis Journal read them a few directions, as to conduct, fcc. Among other things it said: "On the. Other hand, it will be well enough to guard against being carried away by the demonstrations of good feeling with which they may bo greeted, or yielding to the generous impulses of the moment so far as to leap to hasty and false conclusions. Tbe tiger can purr as softly as a cat when moved t6 do 90, and both carry sharp, claws concealed in the most velvety coverings. The sudden change from the sterile aspect and still chilling breezes of the north to the balmy airs and luxuriant vegetation of the gulf region is enough to upset almost any person, and persuade the most cynical to believe that nothing but tho true, the beautiful and the good can flourish there. But this conclusion would be a great mistake. There are some dark and damning spots on the records and in the characters of these people which not the most generous hospitality can quite obliterate, though it may fairly be accepted as a mitigating circumstance." Is it not about time to abolish such sentiments as the above? It would surely prove more profitable to show a friendly feeling towards these people rather than one of vindicatfvcigaess, spetfally when they are met by sOch demonstrations of good feeling as are set out above.

THE Indianapolis Journal Inclinos to tbe opinion that the new fee and salary bill will not benefit the people to any alarming extent, as soon as some of them an prone to believe. It appears that the bill contains no emergent clause, and such being the case it can net take effect until tbe Governor has notice from tbe clerk of every county in the State of the receipt of the sots of tbo General Assembly. The laws have yet to be printed, and distributed by the Auditor of State who is the champion gnmgsr and model reformer of tbe commonwealth, bnt who on the other hand fcas an undivided interest in thousand* of doilats lit die sfiap# of fees eoiuing from foreign insuriui* companies for iasniiv *ittfiea»SB of their ststemente semi-annually. The next statement* an issued In June, so It is thought the sots can not be distributed before that time. Add to this tbe fiiot that the fees of county clerks are cut down to the lowest notch, the coacluaion naturally arrived ai is that quite a number ot these gentlemen will not find it convenient to receive their copies at an early date, beoos the taking effect of the bill will be postponed for an indefinite pertodRUA ..

MUCH baa been said about the weath er during the past week. Some people are Uani to please in tkia matter. Tboec who enjoy each as we ace having will be inclined to profanity along abou midsummer, and the same may also 1* f«Jd about those wbe don't enjoy it. So just take it as It conies, gentlemen.

According to its new directory, Madison contains a population of 12,740. The members of tbe legislature have, ere this, all been welcomed back to their homes. day county has tbe small pox. They adjourned court at Bowling Green the other day on account of It.

There are fourteen mines In operation in the Brazil district, and they all average about 1600 tons per day.

Indianapolis had a Wooden Coffin and Casket Association in session there this week. There wero about thirty members present.

Rsckport, Spencer county, sold more than a million pounds of tobacco during tho past year, and it wasn't a good year for tho weed either.

Hpn. A. Y. Hooper, formerly State Senator from Kosciusko and Whitley counties, died at Columbia City, this week. He was one of the ablest lawyers in tho State.

A citizen of Indianapolis having lost at faro three hundred dollars belonging to his employers, his wife took a pistol, went to tho winner, and mado him give back tho money.

Mr. J. II. Shafer, a school teacher in Decatur County, was struck over the head with a slate in the bands of a pupil about two weeks ago, and since that time has been insane from the effect ot the blow.

Mr. George Wallace, a resident of Muncie, has left his wife, five children, an eighty acre farm with horses, cows, farm implements and a letter, stating that he will never return and that she is welcome to tho property and a divorce. By a singular coincidence a neighboring young woman is also missing.

Razor and Cory are citizens of Goshen, Elkhart county. They had a slight misunderstanding the other day about some road scrapers. They tried to convince each other with fists and a shot gun. Sinco the fraces, Razor has been engaged in tho pleasant pastime of poulticing his disfigured mug, while Cory has been combing the buckshot from his soalp.

The flood of Monday did considerable damage in Elkhart county, by washing away bridges, etc. Many of the principal streets of Goshen were flooded, and cellars filled with water. To-day the weather turned colder, and a terrific wind and snow-storm has prevailed, making it almost impossible for pedestrians to be out of doors. The prospects aro for more snow and severe cold weather to-nigkt.

The. E vansville Journal sayS that Hon. Willard Carpenter has In contemplation the establishment of a munificent charity in that city. The plan or nature of the institution is not yet known, but the endowment fund will be about $1,000,7 000. Tho papers and plans are now being perfected, with the aid of legal counsel, and the work will probably be set on foot in a month or two. The Evansvillo Courier gloats over the following item: "A few years ago one of .the laigest drafts ever drawn upon a banking-house in this State was received at the Evansville National Bank. The cashier received a draft from the United States Government for $240,000. It was met without any excitement, having been previously expected. The money was placed in a small safe borrowed from the Adams Express Company, and forwarded to tbe department at Washington. For considerations of safety, the matter was not made public ,^tjl I day or two ago."

WILBUR F. STOREY, proprietor of tbe Chicago Times, has been Indicted for publishing obsoene literature in the columns of his paper, and spliloqnises thusly upon the subject:', 3

General Dix's famous order to the military commander at New Orleans is not yet forgotten. "If a man hauls down the "American flag, shoot him on tbe spot I" said the vigorous eld patriot. In Chicago, lately, some new renderings of that famous injunction have been issued, among which may be mentioned tbe following:

If an editor exposes anv ring of office- holding rogues, indict hfm on the spot!"

If an editor holds npto public reprobation a ring of official tax-eaters that are contriving wave and means to increase official plunder, indict him on the spotl"

If an editor directs the attention of the grand jury and the officers «f iostice to wicked, indecent, and criminal practices that disgrace a civilised community, indict him on the spot 1"

If an editor will not sheath hi* pen in silence when villainy stalks abroad in robes of office, and corruption riots In gains filched from the earnings of tax-payers, indiot him on the spot!'' "If an editor imagines thai the freedom of the press is liberty to expose misfeasance and knavery among tbe public's servants, indict him on the SpOtl"

THB atmosphere of Chicago is rather unhealthy for materialising mediums. Tbey may succeed for a long time, but are sore to be brought up short in the end. The latest exposure is that of a Mrs. Parry, who for several months past has been mystifying tbe credulous citisens of that village. The telegraphic dispatches say It happened thusly:

MI*. Parry has attracted the attention of several scientific gentlemen interested in tbe subject, and tliey have beeo tnvwiIgittoos which MV® hitherto been resulUesa. To-night, howover, a lady having examined her at the close of a seance, discovered concealed about her clothes piece* of robber,which on being inflated, had the appearance »f masks, arras, etc. The would-be medium beeame highly enraoed at tbe expose, and abused her audience in a most profane manner."

BENEVOLENT ACT OF

TRAV

ELER.

Tho Paterson Press says that one day last week Mr. B., a prominent Main street merchant, noticed as a lady left tbe car at Passaic that a valise and shawl remained in tho seat she had just vacated. The kind-hearted gentleman looked at the articles, thought of the moving train and loudly called attention to the ownerless goods and chattels.

Mr. 0., one of our leading manufacturers, soeing Mr. B's dilemma, quickly told him to open the window ana throw the articles out. Acting upon this suggestion, the window was raised and the lady's attention called to the property hurled from the window, and the Vain sped away from tho station, and Mr. B., closing tlie window, again resumed his seat, ms face beaming with complacency at tbe thought or a good deed, happilvdone. But alas! what was his consternation when about two minutes later, a gentleman came along to the vacant seat, looked inquiringly about, and with some excitement asked what had become of his shawl and valine? The scene that followed—the wrath of the real owner of tbe goods so unceremoniously tossed out of the window at Passaic, the heightened color and stammering explanations of the benevolentminded Mr. B., and the intense amusement of the other passengers as thoy comprehended the whole awkward contretemps—can better be imaginad than described. ______________

THE DRESS REFORMER'S OARB. [Boston Herald.] Mrs. Tillotson, of New Jersey, was clad in a brown casbmerette coat or frock cut in shirt-sack form and trimmed with velvet of a darker hue and buttons of a still darker shade, the collar and lapels turning over in frockcoat style, the sleeves being like those worn by gentlemen. Beneath the coat was a vest of the same material, the cut differing but slightly from vests worn by the male sex. The opening In the vest displayed a tastily embroidered shirt front fastened with handsome pearl buttons. A white stiff ohoker collar encircled her throat, she wore a pink necktie, and a pink band held her silvery curls back from her forehead. Her limbs were encased in pants of the same material as the upper garments but were cut without springs at the bottom. On the under side and lower edge of tho vest were a row of buttons, which served to support the pants. Her boots were of callskin, long legged, and neat In style. At first sight her garb appears cold and rather repellent to admirers of prevailing fashions worn by ladies, but more familiarity with the style, and tbe appar ent ease of movement given to the body and limb by this really comfortable costume, favprable impresses persons of reform tendencies. I, J"

CENTENARIANS.

According to the statistics of Dr. Dospaulx, a noted physician of Paris, the number of people who attain me age of 100 years bears a greater proportion to the total population of tho world than most of us had imagined. He states that of the 60,000,000 inhabitants of Russia 1,780 were centenarians, and two of theso were 160 years old. France in a population of 88,000,000 counted 150: Poland 90 to 4,500,000 Sweden 27 Norway 40 United States 2,618 Canada 72, out of a population of 7.000,000. In England 105 centenarians die every year. Dr. Desplaulx says that the greater proportion of these oentenarlans belong to the poorer classes. So there is encouragement for us poor people. If we cannot gather in fua as fast as the rich ones we nave a longer time to do it in, which may be looked upon as oue of Nature's fine compensations. Unless, indeed, some cynic puts it in this* shape: That wo not only have to work harder than the wealthy, but longer. "Where population is least numerous, life seems to be longer," says the Doctor. Here is encouragement for our rural friends, and In it the probable explanation for the bealthfulness of St. Louis. According to this reokoning a St. Louis pauper ought to live forsver.

WEAR A SMILE.

Which will you do—smue ana BBKO others happy, or be crabbed and make others around yon miserable Ton can live, as it were, among beautiful flowers MI/1 singing birds, or in tbe mire, surrounded by fogs and frogs. The amount of happiness you can produce is incalculable. if you shew a smiling face and a kind heart, and speak pleasant words. On tho other hand, by your looks, cross words, and a fretful disposition, you can make a number ofpersons wre beyond endurance. Wnlch will yon do? Wear a pleasant oountenanoe, let joy beam In your eyes, and love glow in

night when you redt, at morning when you rise, and through the day when about daily business. "A smile lwho will refase a smile,

The Borrowing breast to cheer, And lorn to love the heart ofgolle, And cheek the foiling tour? A pleasant smile for every face#

MABT E. ADORNS was advertised by her husband in San Jose, CaL, as havf left his bed and board without ransn and so forth. Mrs. Aborns retorted in a card in which she said that ahe bad been married ten years, and In that time had cooked about 10,060 meals, ment ldgOQQ boors over a hot stove, borne six children, milked cows over 10,000 times, sad performed other housewifely duties in proportion. She adds: "I have drawn the picture very mildly. I have made allowance for my sicknesses, when I have had help, something after the way that a farmer would hire a horse if b& own wss sick and unable to work. I bad nothing when 1 went there, and nothing at the end of tho*e ten years of servitude. I had lived, it is true, and was very moderately tarnished with clothing. That is all for my la* bor. What man Is there in the world that would do the work I have done for the same compensation f"

WEDDINGS.

The vertanes— monds,

uence of Marriage A*niFaper up to Dia-

After the wedding proper follows the anniversary weddings, several of which have beooine regular institutions. The first of these is tho Paper Wedding, which occurs one ysar after the fatal event. Here stationary and books are in order. Whether itls supposed that by this time the bride will have discovered that there is some one in •existence beside the bridegroom, and be ready to resume her correspondence with the outer world, or that, grown satiated with sweetness, she will be willing to devote herself to improving her mind, is not stated. The Paper Wedding, however, wonld seem to hint at such a con- KS elusion.

Next—after tbe lapse of five rears— |s comes the Wooden Wedding. Invita- j: tiens for this are prihted on wood about four times tbe thickness of the ordinary cards. The imported chip cards aroip slightly veined, and tho jtrinting is in black. For this occasion tho presents may assume any. form, from an elegant' set offurnitnre, given by the parents or nesr relstives, down to a bracket or a rolling-pin from those toss privileged to^ present souvenirs.

Altera lapse of ten years comes tho Tin Wedding. Tho invitations lor this: should be printed in oxydized tin bronze, or in black on a large unglazed? carder note-sheet, with monogram iu dull silver on the invitation ana envelope. Gipibrede, of New York, adds: "Ai field of tin bronze on the lower half the note-sheet, with letters in black, produces a pleasing effect, with mono-. gram on tho upper half. Interlaced ci-t phers for heading add style to the note."|^ Here the taste of th$ invited quests has? a chanoe to develop sBstheticaily, as': there is not so wide afield to the ordinary tin products as in almost any of tho others. Genius will need to be brought to bear here to produce elegance, or something bizarre.

The Crystal Wedding is next in order, at fifteen years after the original contract was made. The invitations for this are priuted on crystallzed paper or gelatine. A white wove envelope with monogram designed to suit the occasion .bearing the dates, say 1860—1875. in silver relief, suitably accompanies this. Tho glass trifles are so numerous and elegant as not to require enumeration..

The Twentieth Anniversary is marked with flowers, and is called the Floral Wedding. Invitations to this should bo. ornamentally engraved, or with tiny hand-painted or lithographed bouquets of flowers in the uppe&lolt-hand corner. The paper now used for Regret paper is very suitable for such occasions. Tho monogram and dates should be surrounded by a wreath of roses or other flowers, daintily painted or embossed in silver. The envelope should have a a monogram to match. There need be few suggestions made as to tho presents' on theso occasions they mav be anything from a Wardian ease tilled with plants, or some rare growing flower, to the most elaborate or simplest combination of cut flowers. The Floral Wedding is really the most beautiful of all ia tho tribute it brings.

The Twonty-fifth Anniversary brings the Silver Wedding, and this noeds lit-tle-comment, as it is one of tho recognized institutions. Tho invitations should be printed in bright silver on tho finest wove note paper. A monogram with a ribbon interlaced with tho letters, and bearing tho dates of marriago and anniversary should also bo of silver. Presents of silver are of course in order, but theso should only bo accepted front tbo nearest relatives or life-long friends. On the invitations sent it is now customary to add: "It is preferred that no Wedding Gifts be offered."

The Thirtieth Anniversary is tho Pearl Wedding, invitations for which should be issued on pearl-tinted paper.
