This was somewhat of a surprise as Mr. Chan dler4* name had not been publicly mentioned in connection with the office until bis appointment was officially an* noanced. Republican newspapers very generally approve of the appointment. The Indianapolis Journal say*: "He is an uncompromising Republican, a deckled partisan, loyal to the backbone, and a idacare hater of the Democracy.

The theory Is held by some that this most beautiful season of the year, the Indian summer, Is gradually bat sorely disappearing from this oountry that whereas its former duration was three or four weeks, it has now shrunk to a fitful term ol ten or fifteen days, and that the exquisite season described by the poets and the earlier observers, has fled before civilization and departed with the forests primeval. It was a phenomenon, it is bald, produced by unexplained circumstances attending the universally wooded state of the

serves the heat of tho atmosphere by diminishing the radiation of heat, which is slower in dry than in moist air. This is just what happens when the first severe frosts of November lay bare in a few days tho forests for thousands of miles. There is a sudden diminution of the moisture that had been emitted from tho dense masses of foliage, for the evaporation from fallen loaves and herbage is

THE cry "Go est" has changed. An I very slight, and ceasesafter a few hours editorial article iu a Western paper is I of sunshine. Tho atmosphere, therefore,

is dry, the radiation of heat proportionally small, there is a sudden and universal accumulation of heat, and sjummer seems to have returned. This revived season is what we call the Indian summer, and in Franco thv summer of St. Martin, and in the happy lahd of Acadia the Summer of All-Saints.

Whether there is anything in the theory or not, it is certain that wo now have no regular coming of this "delightful term of mildness aud serenity—this smiling interruption of the melancholy daj-s of autumn," nor any canjccture as to its probabio duration when it does come. As to tho way the season got its name, a pleasant story is told, that, late in October, when tho early colonists thought tho winter had fairly set in, the Indians said: "No, no there will be summer yot." And when the mild days came, Carvor and Standish and tho others said, remembering: "Lo! the Indian summer!" Wo do not know that we can close this article better than by quoting tho beautiful description of the Indian silmmer from Longfellow's Evangeline: "Such was the advent of autumn. Then followed that beautiful season Called by the pious Acadian peasants the summer of All-Saints! Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light and the landscape Lay as If new created in all the freshmssof childhood. Peace seemed to reign upon earth, und the restless heart of the ocean Was for a moment consoled. All sounds were in harmony blended. Voices of children at play, the crowing of cocks In the farmyards, Wlilr of wines in tin drowsy air,and the cooing of pigeons— All were subdued and low as the murmurs of love and the great sun Looked with the eye of love through the' golden vapors around hlra While arrayed in it* robes of russet and scarlet and yellow, Bright with the sheen of the dew, each glittering tree of the forest Flashed like the plane-tree the Persian adorned with mantles and Jewels."

THE DANGER OF liAILROAD TRA VFLINU. Railroad travel is getting to bo an old thing in this country and very few persons enter a car nowadays with that feeling of dread which nearly everyone experienced a few years ago. Only a few porsons, and those of a nervous and timid class, unaccustomed to much travel, ever think of any danger now, when starting on an ordinary journey by rail. Yet as often as tho traveler

caution on the part of those who run and control railroads. And this caution is something that should be insisted on, and the pressure for it should be continuous. There should be no waiting for the horrible collision or other accident to more public feeling. The demand fot caution should be made at once, and insisted on until such accidents cease to happen. It should be done by legislation and done at once, for it is of far more importance that people travel safely than that their grain or goods should be carried to market at lower rates of freight. Indeed it Is better to pay high freights and have good roads, than to get freights fcr nothing and travel on roads that are unsafe.

THE DISORA CKFUL FASHION OF CALLING NAMES."

In reading over the political papexa of the present day one cannot bat long for the speedy coming of thai millennial stave when gentlemen and ladies who speak in public and advocate favorite •systems and theories, will speak courteously of their opponents. When two gentlemen differ in private it is usually with politeness and good-humor. One does not say tQ the other that all who hold bis opinions are thieves and murderers, and the other does not reply that all who disagree with him are liars and scoundrels and bribed assassins. Upon the whole there is nothing sharper in many of the most biting satires than in some of the ordinary daily reports of meetings and speeches as published in the daily papers. The Eatanswille Gazette is a study from naturo and Hogarth's pictures aro mere history. Of course when men seriously differ on the most vital points, they will not talk gingerly In debate. But they neod not make mouths" at each other, nor "call names." Yet most of the most effective oratory and the most Immediately popular newspaper writing, is the most stinging personal criticism. The orator or the writer holds up his opponent, or more truly his victim, to contempt. He ridicules or abuses him without mercy. He covers him with obloquy. He leaves him stuck %11 over with arrows of scorn. The man who differs from the executioner is lett quartered at the public cross-roads, till the corpse have an op poitunity to "come back at him" in the same reckless and abusive manner.

There is another kind of looseness and feeble fury of speech which is even more common that is, the profuse sneering at others views, as if they were not only baseless, but consciously corrupt. The epithets of swindler, fool, idiot, knave, gambler, bloated bondholder, greenback luuatic, etc., are tossed around with the utmost freedom and a total disregard of facts or courtesy. And what effect, is produced upon tho public mind? First, disuust and ii difference, and then a consoiousnoss that the advocates have each so covered tho cause with vituperation that it will bo a weary work to dig down to tho pith of the matter. Everj'body would like to understand the reasons on both sides if they could, but calling peoplo fools and knaves is not argnmont, and the whole subject is demoralized. When a green back paper proclaims that a cotempo rary is bought and controlled by grasp ing Wall street speculators, every sensi bio man begins to be persuaded that if that is the argument of the greenback party it is a party utterly without reason, until be hears this hard-monoy man shouting that inflationists are swindlers and thieves—that is intentional knaves —upon which he begins to think that it is a pity the argument could not bo conducted as among gentlcmon, and not aa among bullies.

Mn. M. I. CONVAT, in his lecture on London, delivered at Cincinnati, Monday evening, made the suggestive statement in glancing at the extent and magnitude of tho great British metropolis and the composite character of its population, that it contained more Jews than thero aro in Palestine, moro Irishmen than in Dublin, more Scotchmen than in Edinburg and Germans enough to make an average German city. He spoke of the Duke of Portland, who lives in the greatest seclusion, rarely seeing any one, even his own servants. When he wants his meals tho table comes up through the floor and when the meal is eaten the table goes down through the floor again. He has fifteen miles of galleries filled with pictures which aro never seen, and he lias a passion for the construction of subteranean galleries and channels, as though he was exploring the other world to find somo region where an ancient lord was wanted. TJie whole lecture is said to have been very interesting, and if it were not for the fact that this is rather a negro minstrel town than a lecturo town, it might be well enough to enquire whether be could not be induced to repeat it here. As It is there is very little use considering the question, unless some public-spirited individual is ambitious of footing the expenses for the enlightenment of tho community.

When the matter of the race between Burlington and Fanoher was attracting public attention, the dty newspapers made a great deal of notice of the respective owners of those horses, and there was mnch remark on their having sold out the race." But nene seems to have been taken of just such an affair, which oocurred at the races of the Trotting Association. In this one another citizen of means was concerned, Imi though Sam McLonald reoelved a stroke on every side, the last occasion was almost entirely unnoticed, except by those immediately interested. The papers mentioned the fact that "pools had been declared off," but that is all that was said.

THE BOYS.

It is unlawful to sell liquor to minors, ar.d the last legislature imposed penaltios against selling them fire arms. Now there is one other prohibition that should be provided, and that is against selling tobacco to minors. This should be done if the others are enforced. I think any of those old smokers who have tried a hundred times to break the habit, and those who have been chewing so long that their jaws ache, will say they would be glad if such a law had been made and enforced when they were young.

RESPONSIBILITY.

The Express one day this week mentions a discussion as to tho responsibility of those who sell grain to be made into liquor, and says "the responsibility should be thrown back upon the Creator, who made the rye and corn to grow. Just for information I would liko to bo informed if the Deity is the murderer, when He loaves the ore, from which a revolver is made, in the ground where His poor, weak, erring, irresponsible children can get at it or the sulphur or tho lead where it can made into bullets, to be sent into their empty heads and soulless hearts by each other.
