Town-Talk.
T. T. confesses to having read, with much interest, the proceedings of the Horticultural society, as published in Kxpress, as well as the editorial comments of that paper on that part of tho proceedings In which was discussed the question, "What bsoks and papers are beat for family reading?" The opinion seemed to prevail among the members of the society, that the biblo should take precedence over all other books, and that the ordinary daily newspaper was about the last thing that could bo recommended Mrs. Soule expressed the belief that tho public journals are not incalcula'lug the best and moat wholesome moral instruction and that there Is no paper in Terro Hauto that is fully up to the standard in this respect and T. T. quite agrees with her in this, and In her farther remarks as to the wretched taste of the phrase "petered out" a* applied to tho death of Url Carutb.the Vinoland editor. Various remarks, both for and against tho daily papers were made during tho discussion, but tho general feelisg wa* that the Terro II an to newspapers were rather "a bad lot," and not for a moment to be compared with the bible.
This heresy, of course, fired the editorial heart of the Express and inspired the following characteristic utterance
At the same time the soelety uttered its sweeping anathema upon Torre Hunt/1 newspapers, 11* b.-lng loo vile to take Into the household, It ivcommended the Bible for family read lug. Now, how much better is this There Is language Indulged In that book, which no newspaper ever print*. There are "vulgarisms, speaking, according to the society's standard, which no one can use in any good society. There are the scenes of wiekedne** described, which nev er could have seen the light through newspaper. What wuuld the member*of tho Horticultural society think of a newspaper thet would print poetry the counterpart of tho lascivious Hong of Solomon
Farther along in the odllorial quoted from, occurs this peppery paragraph: If people bad belter tastes we would fill our page* with science, philosophy and lit erature, and enjoy the task more than dishing up personals or hangings. Hut, unfortunately, there are a hundred men greedy tunately, there are a ounareu men greeay forgosskip or crime, where one appreciates original thought. If we were to make ex* acu» the kind of newspaper that the Horticultural society recommends, we woold not expect to retain the subscription of one member of that aociety. They would not miss the knowledge of the wlckedneasof the world, which the Rxprem gives them, for anything. There Is something of the old Adam and of the original Eve. even In our horticultural friend*.

or can claim that popniar taste requires him to publish minrte descriptions of a hundred vile things that might easily be mentioned. If it i» noble in Theodore Thomas to do what he is doing how much nobler might it be for the editor, in his sphere, to do what he knows to be right.
No man has a higher opinion of the power of the press and its grand mission, than T. T. The child oi poverty,
born
amidst darkness yet having upon her forehead the impress of immortality and within her bosom an inherent power for good or for ill, growing in intensity as year after year has rolled away, tho preea to-day holds in her hand the world's destiny. As the handmaid of civilization and religion, she gathers, with weariless toil, "whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever tbingsare just, whatsoever things a»e pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report," and with lavish munificence scatters them broadcast over the earth that all men may rejoice in the light and tho beauty of truth. But as tho agent of those who love darkness rather than light, whoee evil joy it is to delude her into their unhallowed service, she goes forth to gather whatsoever things are untruo, whatsoever things are dishonest, whatsoever things are unjust, whatsoever things are impure, whatsoever things aro unlovely, whatsoever things are of ill report, and sows the wholo earth with seeds of deadly poison.
They rake out the sweepings of police courts, "investigating committees," jails and ponitentiarios, in their search for horrors. They drag into open day, household treacheries and Blue Beard revelations which make sober people stand aghast. Aud can a man tako coals into his bosom and not bo burned? There aro phases of human nature too hideous to bo paraded up and down tho highways In broad daylight. Make the hideousness public and men gazing on it grow into its image. Scatter pen-pic-tures of conjugal unfaithfulness, murder, suicide, and kindred horrors and patience, purity, manliness, virtue and faith die out of men's souls.

THE SSTITIM AND THE J0NK8KR. As the presidential year approaches tho discusalon of our political system aad its evils is renesred. It is charged that certain men, whooe names it were easy to mention, have an eye on the White IIouso and are cautioualy setting things up to secure the nomination next summer. If this charge is true we aro at a loss to see what new evil it por tends. The same thing baa been going on for nearly a century and tho Republic still stands. There aro ambitions men in every nation and it would be the worse for the nation if thero were not. The ambitSona men distinguish themselves and by so doing distinguish their country also. We could not think it a better sign for tho country if Its higheat office were not *tfe mark at wblch ambitious' and aaplring men aimed. Nor can we see anything unpatrlatic In a governor or a senator's plsnnlng to get possession of the White House. There must bo a President and doubtless each fee la that he has the peculiar qualities requisite for the high position. If his follow citizens think differently, (as tan obancea to one they will) they need not help him in his ambitious schemes and some other man will become Presi-

office and that in oonaeqnenoe bad and worthlees men are frequently elected to fill honorable and responsible placea. And yet when we look over the field we find that our public men have not been so bad on an average. Run down the line of the Presidents and we do not have to blush for many of thorn. It may be truthfully said that most of the occupants of the White House hsve been men of unblemished characters, abilities of a high order and very considerable attainments. So of the various oocupants of the Supreme bench. So of the senators and congressmen. Better men could have been selected in seme instances no doubt werae men could have been, in many instances, certainly. But tho political millennium will not come until Smiths cease to shirk, complain aud shoulder their political responsibilities like the mon they complain of.
TUB OLD AND TIIJC NKW.
Much regret is expressed for the progress of unbelief in these latter days. It is the fashion to sigh for tho good old times whon it was no trouble to believe anything. It is said that our modern life has become unromantic and insipid, deprived of the sentiment which an innocent, if blind credulity once bestowed. Everything is explained and understood now. Tho old bubbles have burst aud their rich colors faded away. They were fragile things it is true and yet they possessed a certain rare and delicious beauty. There is no play for the imagination any more. We have analyzed everything, extracted all mysterious essences and left only tho white ashes of scientilic truth, as palpable as they are unromantic and commonplace.
They, who utter this lament should remember that li we have lost something by the Irreverent exposures of the crucible and the microscope we have gained infinitely more. If Bcience has burst the old bubbles of superstitious codullty she has blown new ones more brilliant and beautiful than they. The old sorcerers pretended to turn gross metals to gold, but our science does more than that. It creates whatever we want with all the facility of Aladdin's lamp. Was tho old slavery of a blind credulity to bo preferred to the freedom of to-day Was it well to carry about with you always the fear of foiling upon some evil omen—to shrink from the shadow of some imaginary harm To become despondent because your horse stumbled or quake with dread because the moon was over your left shoulder
There may indeed be less mystic sm about this modern life but there is more comfort and satisfaction. If there is loss of the supernatural there is more of the natural. If there is less that is dim and doubtful there is more that is positive and certain. If there is less living above the earth there is more living on it if less concern aboui tno things that are to bo more appreciation of the things that arc. And taken all in all the pres cnt, with its science, skepticism and practicalitv, is far better than the past with its signs, superstition)} and credu-

Wong Chinfoo gave a second lecture Sunday evening, which was even more tntereeting than the first, a week before. The Opera House was woll-Alled, and with as intelligent and appreciative an audienco as ever gathered there. It is a matter of regret that our limited space forbids any extended mention of the lecture, for there were enough curious things about it to fill one side of this paper, and the temptation to speak of some of them is very great. While here Mr. Wong accepted an engagement with the Red path Lecture Bureau, and went to St. Leuia, Monday morning, to deliver his first lecture in that city. He was accompanied by his agent, Mr. W. Hawkins, of Indianapolis, a former journalist and as clever a gentleman as ever sharpened a pencil. Success to both of them.
And this brings us to the second charge which Is that his follow dtiaeas, in the segregate, have very little to do with electing the President or any other public fatKiionayy. The "politieiana," it to •aid, nominate the candidates and the people have no choice nut to vote for one set and against the other. There Is unhappily a great deal of truth in tbia, bot the remedy la simple enough lei the people bsootne politicians. That has always been the (Acwy of a democracy: what we want is to reduce the theory to practice. There is not ntoch reason or jostke in Smith's complaining because Jones goes to the ward meeting* and the primaries when Smith has the same right to go there himself. If Smith chooses to shirk his political duties he chkrf among which is the feet that it alhaa no right to demand that Jones shall lorn* polite society aa opportunity to shirk his too.

The play was written by Fred Msrsden, and is said to be a very charming one, in that it brings out the whole strength of a troupe, and none but a good troupe dare piny It. Among her support appear some good names notably R. H. Locke and Mr. W. OraMoek, the gr«*t character actor. She will undoubtedly draw a fine audience.

C. W. Kidder dropped into town thia morning and is actively at work eettln' 'em up for the ooming of Nick Roberta Pantomime Troupe, which produoes ''Jack and Jill" one of the most pleaaing pantomimes on the stage. The company haa been here before, la well known to our amusement going people and it is unneoeasary to add worda in praiae. An advertisement in the amusement column gives some of the specialties.

Our minstrel loving oommunity, we know, will hail with pleasure the announcement of tho coining, on Thursday of next woek, of Happy Cal Wagner, at the head of a new organization— and introducing some new and very novel features. No person in the minstrel business has a more firm hold on tho affeotions of our people, and an over-flowing houso is sure to greet him. Of his new company, tho Dubuque Herald says:
As usual, an overflowing house greeted 'Happy Cat," and his splendid minstrel troupe, last evening, at the Vthaeneum. The programme was a good one introducing mauy novel and funny features. The quartette of vocalists aro the best we have heard with anytiavelingcompany, and the brass band would be hard to beat anywhere. Their selections are good aud their performances magnificent. Cal Wagner, as an end man, needs no words of praiae from our pea. He Is a burnt cork prince, and fills every art he plays upon the programme to perfection. Harry lllauchard's double-voiced vocalism Is a new feature In the minstrel business aad brought down the house with his clever performance. The Uute. cornet and bnnjosolos were all good, aVwas in fact the entire musical programme. The song
and dance men were kept on the stage as long as their breath lasted. The Hampton students were matchless In their part of the funny business, and he baby elephant should be brought out at the great centennial show. The entertainment was one of the best ever given here by Cal Wagner's troupe or any other troupe that has visited our city.
Mr. Locke, tho comedian, and Mr. Couldock, the great character actor, who support tho peerless little Lotta, Monday evening, are actors of well known ability. "Musette" in the handsol such a talented trio, will be a performance well worth witnessing.
Geo. B. McDonald, formerly with Barnum, la now the advance agent of Cal Wagner, and is a valuable man to any company. Ho tells us that TheM
tho only weekly paper on his route that he uses for advertising. Tho Mail is a great favorite with show people, and wide-awake agents know its value.
One of the features of Cal Wagner's new troupe is the double-voiced vocalist, Harry Blanchard, who dresses one-half of his body from the top of his head to his shoe soles in leniale appajel, and when this side is to the audience sings in a pure soprano voice. The othor half is in male aitire, and in an instant is turned to the front, aud be sings liko a man.
Theatrical performances take plaoo at Turner Hall every Sunday evening. A son of Dan Voorbees is to play Hamlet. Hamlet's father was murdered, wo believe.—[Cincinnati Times.— Yes, and Hamlet will now be murdered in all human probability.—[Detroit News,—No it was Hamlet's step-father, this tlmo. 1 *^4
Tho Express says Mr. C. S. Ahderson is endeavoring to effect an arrangement for the appearance of James P. Voorhoes in all of the large cities of the West Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louia. Mr. Voorbees will probably get a date at the Indianapolis academy about the 25tb, supported by Barney Macauley's Cincinnati company.

A reporter of the Cincinnati Times has lunched with Fanny Davenport, and tells us some things he said, and some things that we guess she didn't say. Hero is the passage of his remarkable account of his interview with the beautiful actress that seems to contain the true inwardness:
It was pleasant and refreahing to sit at the table with such a good cater, who enjoyed the food so heartily, who is such a picture of physical health, and vigor, and perfection. In these days of thinlimbed, narrow-chested, weak-bodied women, with no health and little appetites, it does ono good to watch Fann.v Davenport get away with a plate of beef and baked potatoes."

"CRYSTAL WEDDING." One of the pleasantest affairs of the season was tho celebration last Monday evening, of the fifteenth anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Gray's marriage. They had not designed celebrating tho cvoutiu any but a very quiet way with their, children, and were taken completely by surprise when thoir host of friends came trooping in In such numbers as to entirely fill the house. Everybody was in tho jolliest mood imaginable, and all proceedod at once to "make thoiuselves entirely at home." Tables were rolled out and a niee supper served and the festivities went on till a lato hour. Tbo unanimous verdict upon separating, and since, was, and is, that it was just "a splendid time." The list of presents left by the friends 'who were there, would go far towards filling one of these column*. It was a delightful evening and will not soon be forgotten by either Mr. and Mrs. Gray, or their self-invited guests.
JOA VTX AffLr. Kft ON WA LT. WlllTMA N. In his lecture on Literary London, at Washington, Saturday night, Joaquin Miller, oomparing the respect paid to literary men in London with that shown to the same class in the United Rates, made tbo following allusion to Walt. Whitman: I
But here in America, hers, in this high Capital, there *was once a colossal mind an old, an honorable old man, with a soul ss grand as Homer's-the Milton of America. He walked these streets tor years, a plain, brave, old man. who was kind even to your dogs, lie had dons great service, In an hum bl way, In the army he bad written great books, which had been translated in all tongues, and read In every land savo bis own. In consideration thereof he was given a little place under the government, where be could barely earn bread enough for himself and his old mother. He went tip and down, at work here for years. You mocked at him when vou saw him. At last stricken with palsy, be leA the place, leaning upon his staff, to go sway and die. I saw him but the other day, dying, destitute. "flmnd old Walt. Whitman! Fven now he looks like a Titan god! [Applause.) I thank yoo, that you sympathise with him.

THE TRADER TRAQEDY. A most cold-blooded and brntal murder took place in this city lssft Sund&JM* James Martin, the murdered man, hsfl been employed on the fkrm of of John Sullivan for several years. Sundfyt morning he came to town to visit mother, who lives with a Mrs. Nobtette* In the vicinity of that delectable portisn of the city known as "Happy Hollei&."f After spending a abort time at M1B4 Noblette's, be strolled down the rivers: bank to the squallid hut occupied by the Traders, one of tho worst set 3W* scoundrels that ever infested any *Uty.
