A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

P. S. WESTFALL,

EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

TERRE HAUTE, JULY 10,1875.

SECOND EDITION.

TWO EDITIONS

Of this Paper are published. The FIRST EDITION, on Friday Evening has a large circulation in the surrounding towns, where It is sold by newsboys and agents. The SECOND EDITION, on Saturday Even lng, goes into the hands of nearly every reading person in the city, and the farm era of this Immediate vldulty.

Every Week's Issue Is, in fact, TWO NEWSPAPERS, in which all Advertisements appear for

ONE CHARGE.

THE physicians in attendance upon Robert Dale Owen have given it as thiir opinion that bo is hopelessly insane, and lurther, that his affliction is softening of the brain, and that he cannot bo expected to live longer than two weeks.

IT is stated on good authority that the cost of conducting the Chicago Times is over ten thousand dollars a week, two thousand of which is lor telegraph tolls, The Times spends more money in that way than any other paper in the country, with possibly one exception. —1*

THE Portland Press is satisfied that no more men will ever be choked to death by the Commonwealth of Maine—that public sentiment wouldn't endure a rep etition of the Gordon-Wagner brutality. It says "a public execution is the best possible reinedy for the banging mania.

THE friends of the Keely motor still claim that it is not a perpetual motion humbug, the Scientific American to the contrary notwithstanding and say that in the course of sixty days they will be able to exhibit something that will astonislAlie world.

THE work of counting the cash in the vaults of the United States Treasury was finished this week." The amount counted was about $16,000,000, and the discrepany was less than ?20. This will give satisfaction to everybody a'nd confirm the general good opinion held for General Spinner.

THE brother of one ol' the conceded Charlie Ross kidnappers, now in jail in Philadelphia, has made somo kind of disclosures that it is hoped may lead to tho recovery of the child. It is now a littlo more than a year since he was stolen uiul the whole caso Is ono of the most mysterious that ever occurred in the country.

WHATEVER complaints there may be about the weather, the crops, or the "times," the people of Indiana may safely congratulate themselves on one thing there won't be any elections this 8Uminor. There'll be no occasion to heat tho blood or excite tho brain by discussing political questions or candidates. Every man can go about his own business with the happy satisfaction of knowing that polities wont bother him If ho don't bother politics. Let us be grateful for tho rest. i~

IT is a hopeful sign for the South that the one newspaper in Mississippi that is edited by colored r^en publishes an articlo In which it asserts that the timo has come for the colored people to take a departure, cut loose from the political adventurers who, while professing all sorts of friendship for the negro voters, only use them to aocomplish their sinister designs, and join in with men of character and respectability in the community, who are bound to the soil of the State by ties stronger than offices and political emoluments. •.fa

ACT now comes a wail from Niagara. Tourists are again foiling into the hands of insatiate hackuten, who aro fleecing them without mercy. As in the case of extortionate passenger railway faros, there Is but one remedy, and that is for those who are unwilling to pay, to visit tbe points of interest on foot. By devoting a day or two to a peripatetic tour of observation, tbe real wonders of Niagara can be soen at lees cost and with decidedly greater comfort, and to much better advantage. What is paid for hack hire for an hour or two will satisfy the hotel bill for a day. =3es==s'

It is very evident that the congregation of Plymouth Church do not intend that there shall be any doubt regarding tbe way tbey stand on tbe Beecher question. At a meeting of the pew holders, on Wednesday evening, at which four fifths of the whole number of pew holders in the church were present, it waa unanimously resolved to fix the pastor's salary for the ensuing year at 9100,000 Instead of 990,000, which It has heretofore been.

MY. 8. B. White delivered a brief address In which he said that while the investigating committee were sitting. Ply. mouth church had made no effort to influence them In any way, and so it had been all through the trial. Tbey bad ttade oo move whatever towards influencing the jury or anybody else In Mr. Deedbnr*s bebatt Their time had not oome until to-night, and now, said the speaker, we will show to the world that Plymouth church oan spend millions In defense of her pastor's innocence, hot not one dollar for biaekmaU or bribery. It is not presumable that this enormous salary will be continued more than one year. I lis probably intended merely to defray the expenses of the trial. It Is now Tilton's turn. Of course his friends will leel called upon to make a similar demonstration.

A LATE number of the New Orleans Picayune publishes the substance of a very romantic story, first given to the world through the columns of an English paper about a month ago. It appears that.nearly a year ago an English vessel, driven out of ita course by a storm, (in tbe South Pacific probably, though the locality is not given,) sighted a strange island and effected a landing. The crew were astonished to find it inhabited, and this astonishment was greatly increased on the discovery that the inhabitants were an English-speak-ing people. It was found that they were the crew and passengers of the Florinda, a vessel which sailed from New Orleans for California in 1849, and was supposed to have foundered at sea, with the loss of all on board. For twenty-five years, seeing no ono but themselves, they had dwelt upon that lonely island,

The world forgetting, by the world forgot." And bad found such contentment in their isolation that they declined the offer of the captain of the British vessel to carry them to a port whence they could secure passage to their former homes. They said they had been lost to their friends and relatives for a quarter of a century, they knew not hat .the changed relations of their families might be, and like so many Enoch Ardens, they preferred to remain as they were rather than to return home, and, by declaring themselves, become so many disturbing elements in their former domestic circles. Names wore given in the account published in the English paper which fully established the identity of the castaways with the party that sailed in the ill-fated Florinda. The story created no little excitement among the surviving members of the families of the long-lost adventurers, and the British consul at New Orleans on being appealed to, at once interested himself in an attempt to ascertain through the British war-office the location of the island. Even if untrue, the story is a very entertaining oue, while if true, it certainly overmatches anything the pen of tho romancist has ever written.

WE are not one of those w'ho look upon the puffing of hotels as the highest kind of literary work, but when it is done, we do like to see it well done. A friend from Pennsylvania who has recently returned from a "down south" trip seems to havo about the proper appreciation of the thing. Ho says:

It is not often that I puff a hotel but when I pay my bill at tho rate of four dollars a day for sleeping in the 'milky way' and feeding on a bill ef faro, it's a privilege and a pleasure to mention such an institution. Tho Atlanta (Georgia) is the largest hotel, I presume, in the world. Many people who go up in the sky-parlors to repose never come down, but go right on thtough to heaven without change of elevators, and those who have written back say they could smell the hair-oil on tho hair of the clerks all the way up. The halls aro so long and winding that many waiters get lost while going after a pitcher of water, and are nevgr heard of until their remains are found years after. I wont in there one morning and ordered breakfast. A small colored boy took my order, and it was so far out to the kitchen that ho was grown and gray-headed when he got back. Tho hotel is a very large hotol, and everything about it is large, from the feet of the clerks, the mouths of tbe waiters, to the bills. It is provided with all modern conveniences, hot and cold water, bay-windows, idiots, dirty sheets, everything to make the traveler happy, including an undertaker's establishment for tbe aooomtnodation of such boarders as starve to death while waiting tor the waiters. It is a very large hotel, and everybody stops there just once."

his special charge to tbe Grand Jury last Monday, Judge Buskirk of Indianapolis, made some exceedingly sensible remarks and suggestions touching their duties, which grand jurymen generally might rend with profit. Referring to the liquor question he said:

I wish to call your attention to one special statuto, for the reason that it is a new law that Is our new liquor law.

The main issue in our last State campaign was, whether we weuld have local option or have a carefally-guarded and well-regulated license law—and the people decided by a large majority in favor of a license law, ana tbe lest Legislature passed such a one. See that that law l« strictly enforced protect the honest dealer, the on© that tries to live up to tbe law if you find that such a person has ignorantly or accidentally violated the law, look over it if you find anyone that openly and intentionally violates the law, lay your hand heavily upon him let all such persons know that tbe people were terribly in earnest when the present law was passed see thwt all tho provisions thereof are strict* ly enforced, out more especially see thai the young men of tho country are protected, that they may start Into life without any depraved appetites or habits say to the men who are engaged in the retail liquor business, you miM not sell to minors.

The future greatness and happiness of this county to a great extent depends upon this see that tbe young men of this county shall have a fidr start in life after tbey have arrived st mature years, and they form such habit* you and I will feel that we have discharged oar duty.**

The entire document as it appeared In the Indianapolis Journal of Tuesday Is respectfully commended to the attention of tbe Grand fury which will be in muslim In this city next week.

TBB London Standard wsn dlgnant over tbe Fourth of July celebration held In that city, and regarded the demonstrations as an evidence wretched bad taste on the part of imeriesns and wonderfal tolemaee the part of the English ail of wbtthMt so much to be wondered at. If a N» berofSoothernecs weaete undertake In an offensively public manner to celebrate some rebel victory, in this city, very likely somebody would ottfect.

THB Express is reminded that the ery of "you're another" Is not generally regarded as an argument. If it has anything to say in defense of otaeoenity let It say It. It is childish to throw dirt.

YANKEE ROBINSON'S circus collapsed in St. Paul, Minnesota^ a few days ago, leaving their employes—200 in number —almost in a starving condition. Tbe city of St. Paul came to the aid of the hungry men aud supplied them with provender for a couple of days*

THE executive committee of the National Grange, after much discussion, agreed last Thursday by a vote of three to two, to removo the headquarters of the concern to Louisville, Kentucky. The next meeting of tbe national grange will be held at Louisville, dh the third Wednesday in November, next year. The committee adjourned yesterday.

TWO-COLUMN editorial articles on such light and breezy subjects as Finance, Philosophy, Tariff, the Science of Government, etc., are of daily occurrence in the Journal now, under the new management. We really feel like begging the editor to spare himself the weather is too warm. We are bound to say, however, that the writer writes well,but he writes too much—for the weather.:

A COMMITTEE composed of prominent and well known citizens of Now York and Brooklyn, has been appointed to make arrangements for a grand public demonstration in honor of Henry Ward Beecher, early in the fall and during the woek proceeding Mr. Beecher's resumption of preaching. The meeting is intended as a public expression of confidence in, and love for, the pastor of Plymouth Church.

Oun shooters aro still having a high old timo in tho Giin of the Say. They made an excursion to the Giant's Causeway, this week, accompanied by a band of tho 94th regiment. lArge crowds congregated at all the stations along the route. When they attend the theaters, tho houses are jammed, and their entry is greoted with the wildest enthusiasm, tho orohestras ploy American airs tnd tho audience go into hysterics. Yerily, it is not a bad thing to belong to a rifle team. Who wants a recruit?

EXPRESSIONS of confidence are well enough, but it Is just possible that Mr Beecher's friends will overdo the thing before they get through with it. It plight serve their purpose better to bo just a little bit modest. Perhaps his very best friends are not so entirely clear as to Mr. Beecher's immaculate in nocence of all guile, though morally certain that he is not the villian that the Tilton conspirators havo endeavored to make him out. Gush has been his bane. A littlo less of it hereafter will not hurt him a bitkin the popular estimation.

THOMAS A. EDISON, of Newark, Now Jersey, is the inventor of a system of telegraphing by which it is now possible to transmit four messages—two each way—over a single wiro at the same time. The apparatus used is called by the inventor, the "quadruplex." It is used by tho Western Union Telegraph Company, and according to Mr. Ortou's last report, solves tho most difficult problem presented to a telegraph manager—how to meet natural increases in business without a corresponding outlay for wires. Tbe Western Union has offered Mr. Edison twenty-five thousand dollars cash for bis invention, and a royalty amounting to nearly twenty-two thousand a year. Tbe Inventor is only thirty years of aye.

FRANK MOULTON having demanded a trial on tbe indictment for libel procured against him by Beecher last summer, tbe District Attorney, Winchester Britton, writes to him in reply that it would afford him great pleasure to try him for any oflbnse coming within the severer duties of the summer months, but it is out of his pewer to indulge him in what be seems to regard as a luxury, at the cost of a neglect of business entitled to a preference, and adds: "Later on, I may be able to accommodate you to your entire satisfaction, and then you may havo reason to rejoice that the ordeal had not taxed your energies and fortitude during tbe heated term." The reply to considered se ratber suggestive of warm

CHURCHES

Tint

should be enreful," says

tbe Washington Star, **of tbe character of the entertainments they frequently give. It is said that tbe Cincinnati lottery dealer whose business was recently interfered with by the Poet-offlce Department, which forbade the delivery to him of any money orders, first got his idea of a lottery from a gift enterprise given for his benefit by tbe church to which he belonged. This man, who la totally blind. Was a few yflars since In absolute want, and the church gave an entertainment of tbe kind named for his reUitwhtak netted several hundred dol}nrm, Tbe lnddHy thought if the church make Mcfc un enterprise a soeeses, be would do so-ethinf in that line ibsenosMewfl! be understood to-day to eett•11 the way fenn uia «|iiartnr to thcee-ouartem sf a million. It would aearoely do, lmwevwr, to hold up hi» example for emulation to the youth of the country.

Indianapolis Journal thinks

Beecher ongbt not to acoept the $100,000 salary. We dont see why. The fight haa I teen as much Plymouth Church's as Beecher's, and there is no good reason why it shouldn't be allowed to bear a portion of the expense. Perhaps $he beet disposition that could be made of the money, though, would be to give it direct to Mrs. Beecher. She would undoubtedly make a more sensible use of it than her husband seems ever to have made of money.

Miss SUSAN B. ANTHONY is editing tbe Leavenworth Times during the illness of her brother, who to proprietor of the paper. In ono of her editorial articles lately she reviews Mr. Beecher's public life, expressing her approval of it as the life of a great man. Miss Anthony being ono of the persons to whom Mrs. Tilton is said to have confessed, it is not surprising that she should believe in Beecher's guilt but this Is what she gays about it: "To err is human, aud If a man falls once, we should not strike him while prostrate, but allow him to make another effort to gain the foothold .he has lost. The Americans are a fair and liberal minded people, wHo, believing Beecher guilty, will yet always remember him as the greatest of our puipit orators, and a true friend tp the oppressed of every race."

THE cremation excitement having ceased to engage the public mind, an English gentleman, Mr. Seymour Haden by name, is endeavoring to briug himself into notice, and wicker coffins into use, by scientifically and eloquently propounding the doctrine that tho resolution of human clay into its elementary substances is an operation which is most quickly, and therefore best, performed when the dead are al lowed to como into immediate contact with that great disinfectant, mother earth, and that wooden and other kinds of coffins now used, postpone this con tact for along period, and should therefore be abolished. He is modest enough to say that the proposed wicker cases are perhaps not the best possible perishable coffins, but their use will at any rate be "a step in tho right direction Now it really doesn't seem to us there is such a very consuming demand for perishable coffins,"—not at any rate in this country. If Mr. Seymour Hadin wants to be burled in a basket, why by all means let him be so buried, at once, but we wish he'd let the rest of us alone, We aren't in such a desperate hurry to have our clay resolved into its elemen tary substance. We area patient peoplo and can wait. Besides It's not a pleasant or cheerftil subject, and wo wish ho wouldn't bother us.

GRAND HAVEN.

"SARATOGA OF THE WEST."

This comparatively new pleasure resort is destined to beoomo one of the most popular places in the West, and in fact to take largely from the annual pilgrimage to the overcrowded, unsatisfying and expensive eastern watering places. It is peculiarly a favorite with Terre Haute people on account of its be ing so easy to reach.

There aro several ways to go. Ono evening last week we chose to start by way of the Midland, at 10:40 P. M., making close connection at Areola with tho Illinois Central—which for smoothness of track and elegance of cars, is excelled by few, if any roads in the Union—and arrived at Chicago near two hours before the excursionists who went up by way of Danville.

At Chicago, of coursc, it you wish to stop in "tbe largest hotel In the world,'' you will go to tb6 Grand Pacific, where, as you grasp the hand extended across the counter, you will look Into the face of that good Sam Turner, beaming with genial welcome. No Terre-Hautean should go to Chicago without allowing Sam to take him in. By tbe way, the Grand Pacific and some other first-claw hotels have made a commendable innovation. This is tbe introduction of a graded scale of prices. It is something like going to the Opera House, where you can view the same performance for fifty cents from the gallery, that your neighbor on tbe lower floor is paying one dollar for. So at this hotel you can sleep In an upper story and have tbe same bill of fare, and the same attentions for about half that charged on the first floor.

One day can be profitably spent In viewing rebuilt Chicego, the most wonderful eity in the world. At nightfall you step aboard one of tbe elegant .Goodrich steamers, and after a pleasant night's rest you are landed at an early boor in Grand Haven. So it is only one night by rail, ten or twelve hours of right seeing in Chicago and one night by steamboat from Terre Haute to Grand Haven.

Here, instead of going to Spring Lake, yon should stop in Grand Haven, at the Cutler House, which is near tbe steamboat landing and only a mile from Spring Lake—to which omnibusses and pleasure boats are running at all times. Tbe Cutler House under the personal supervision and proprietorship of Mr. W. G. Sherman, waa erected three years age, at a eo*t of 9300,000, snd Is tbe finest in tbe State. It has all tbe modern conveniences, including an elevator, the culinary department la all that could be desired, and by the graded scale of pcieea, pereons remaining ten days or longer are charged frem |M0to|M0e day, eosordinc to location of room.

LM* Sunday there was quite a Terre Haute eolony there, including Dr. J. P. Worrell, Judge Crain, Mrs. M. B. Hud—y Mrs. R. J. Delano, Miss Lucy Del*, no, F. V. Bichowsky and wife, E. C. Bkrbowmky, Cwra V, Bichowsky, G. Esh-

Foster and wife and Miss Saukey. On Monday Wm. Mack and wife and M. M. Joab and wife arrived. At the Spring Lake House were Dr. Jos. Richardson, J. F. Gulick, Egbert Curtis and Jay Cummings.

All of the above party—many of whom have gone up for the season, were enjoying to the fullest extent the cooling lake breeze, pure air, fishing, boating, bowling, and bathing in the mineral waters, pronounced tho most valuable and strongest in tho uorthwest. To the iuvalid, the wearied business man and the overworked housewife, needing rest and restoration to health, we say take a trip to Grand Haven.

AN incident of a story by Joaquin Miller, in the Independent, is a marriage ceremony as performed by a Sierra Judge between a miner aud the only woman in camp. It occurred in a barroom, that was crowded with miners. The Judgo had sent to San Francisco for a form of the service, but it had not arrived, and his consequent embarrassment was so great as to endanger his reputation as tho greatest man in tho diggings. "Do you solemnly swear?" he began, with a mighty effort after an awkward pause of hesitation. He held up his hand as ho said this, and laboriously added, "To love, and honor, and obey It was very painftil. Tho lit-., tie man took down bis lifted flagstaff to wipe his little bald-head and ho could not get it up again, but stood thoro still and helpless. You could hear tho men breatho as they leaned and listened with all their might to hear. At last the Judge revived, and began again, in a voice that was full of desperation "Do you solemnly swear to love and protect, and honor, and obey till death do you part and—" Here tho voice fell down low, lower, and tho Judgo was again floundering in the water. Then his head went under utterly. Thon ho rose, and "Now Hay me down to sleep," rolled tremulously throhgh the silent room from tbe Hps of tho Judgo. Thon again the head was under water then it rose up again, and there was something like "Twinkle, twinkle, little star." Then tho voice died again the head was under water. Then it roso again, and the head went up high in tho air, and the voice was loud and resolute and the man rose on his tip-toes, and beginning with "When in the course of human events," he wont on In a deep and slpeudld tone with tho Declaration of Independence to the very teoth of tyrannical King Georgo, and then, bringing his hand down emphatically on tho gambling table that stood to his right, said loud and clour and resolute and authoritatively, as ho tilted forward on his toes: "So help you God, and I pronounce you man aud wifo." i' ilii i'." r,«

TllAMPS IK THE EAST.

How Connecticut Deals with Them,

A committee of the Connecticut legislature has boen investigating the tramp nuisance, which has grown to such formidable dimensions within tbe last few years. They find that in that small State during the past vear not loss tbun 40,000 lodgings have been supplied to wandering vagrants, more than onehalf of whom are undor 23 years of age, and have adopted that calling as a means of livelihood, openly avowing in many Instances, when offered food or clothing as an inducement to work, that they aro professional tramps, and are bound to nave a living without working for it. Someofthom are suppllod with maps showing the most profitable roads to travol, the best places to procure lodgings, and giving tho names of families most likely to feed them. In addition to tho burden of supporting these worthless fellows in idleness, the public havo suffered serious loss from Bros which they have kindled, and which have destroyed forests, barns, and other property. The commltteo has submitted a bill for sanding beggars of this class to the work house for from throe to six months on tho first conviction, and from nine to fifteen months for a second offense. They also recommend the appointment of aboard to present to the next Legislature apian for an institution for tramps and criminal inebriates which shall be self-supporting. Tbey havo no doubt of the possibility of making it so, and in support of this view quote the example of the Alleghany Workhouse in Claremont, Pa., which has made a net gain of |27,000 in throe years from the labor of prisoners. --HJ DIFFERENT WAYS OF VIEWING

[RxpreM.]

Plymouth church has raised Beecher's salary to |100,000 a year. Adultery is something which Plymouth church is disposed to encourage. [(lazette.]

It appears to be a popular thing to sneer at tbe religion of Plymouth Church and make merry over It as being a sort of sunshiny, falr-weatber Christianity, without depth or principle. There aro those who affect to discover proof of this theory in the staunch way thev stand by their preacher and teaener. To the Gazette, there is a deeper and better (significance In their fidelity to their leader whom they have loved, and still do love. It may not be religion—we are not about to discuss religion—but it is a lesson In friendship which should not bo lost upon tho workl. Tho friendship that clings around tbe object of ita affection, as the ivy clings with loving fingers about somo crumbling ruin, hiding defects and making tnoro lovelv what it touches, may not bo, certainly Is not, all of religion, but there can 1MS no true religion without it. It makes life braver and better. The world owe® Plymouth Church a dobtfortho spectacle.

TR UK IN WAItDNESS. {(inxrtte of Tuesday.)

It grieves tbe Gazette greatly to learn that The Mail Is displeased with its moral tone. This charge grieved us especially, coming as it did upon a day when we published entire a sermon of Seedier, a letler from Rev. E. F. Howe, and another from Deaoon Potter. We dont believe The Mail knows what molality la. A TERRIBLE PRACTICAL JOKE.
