THE DEAD SECRET.

Wo give this week the opening chap tersof Wilkie Collie's novel "The Dead Secret," his acknowledged best work It will enchain the attention of every reader to the closing chapter. Of the author the Boston Transcript says:

Of all the living writers of English fiction no one better understands the art of story-telling than Wilkie Collins He has the faoulty of coloring the nays tery of a plot, excitibg terror, pity, curiositv, and other passions, such as belong to a few if any of his confreres. His style, too, is singularly appropriate—less forced and artificial than the average modern novelist.

The London Review says: No amount of mechanical ingenuity would account by itself for the popularity of Mr. Wilkie Collin's works, lie writes an admirable style he is thoroughly in earnest in his desire to please, his humor, though distinctly fashioned on a model Mr. Dickens invented and popularized, is better sustained and less fantastic and affected than anything which Mr. Dickens has of late years pro-

ON Monday, the 18th instant, Ebenezer S. Snell, professor of mathematics and natural philosophy, in Amherst College, died at the ripe old age oi 75. Professor Snell was the first student to enter Amherst, more than half a century ago, and the only survivor of the first class, that of 1822. He was a man whose memory will be sacredly cherished by every one connected with the college. _________

CONTRARY to general expectation, the Chicago Exposition is turning out a fine success. Despite unfavorable weather the attendance lost week was unprecedentedly large, reaching on Saturday upward of thirty thousand. This week has been better still and the improvement promises to continue as excursions from the «ountry increase in sice and frequency. The fare is very low, and people in this section who do not feel able to make the Philadelphia trip might profitably consider the attractions Chicago has to ofTor.

OCCUPATION AND LONGEVITY. A contribution to an English periodical has given the results of observations made respecting the average length of life in various trades and professions. The observations extended over a period of three years and embraced seventy occupations.' The facts deve!o]od are quite interesting and, in some respects, very surprising. The calculations are based on the rate of deaths in each occupation to that of all the others, 100 being taken as the average figure that is to say, while in those occupations representing the average length of life one hundred persons die, a larger or smaller number in other occupations, and according to the nurabew engaged, die in the same length of time.

The statistics show that at the very bead of the list, as being the longest lived, the barristers stand, the deaths in tbeir ranks standing in the ratio of 68 to the average 100. Next come the clergy of the Ctourdi of England in the ratio of 71. Next are the grooara, at 78 gamekeeper*, 80 termers and graziers, 85 civil engineers, 86 booksellers and publishers. 87 wheelwrights, 88 silk manufacturers, 80 agricultural laborers, carpenters and Joiners, 01. The bankers stand at 92, sawyer* at 95 brass and paper manufacturers, 96 gunsmiths and blacksmiths, 97 shoemaker* and tanners, 98 bakers, fl& In the engineer and machine makers, and wool and worsted roanoffojttirers we reach the average, 100.

Below these are 43 of the 70 occupations, the rate of mortality in them running all the way from 100 op to 143. First come the workers in copper, tin and lead, being reprt«ent4 by 101 schoolmasters, 103 (ono would have ex

pected to find them at the very foot of the life ladder) millers, 102. And now comes a singular fact. While the clergy of the Churoh of England are represented by the figures 71, the death rate among Roman Catholic priests runs up to 103. Watchmakers follow at 104 tobacdb manufacturers at 105 physicians at 10G tailors at 109 chemists, druggists and commercial travelers at 110 butchers at 111 miners and printers at 115 painters at 120 railway engineers at 121 draymen, horse-keepers and grooms at 131 innkeepers at 138, and Jast and worst of all, coachmen and cabmen at 143.

From which it appears that the average length of life of the English lawyer is twice that of their engineers, innkeepers, grooms and coachmen, and a third longer than that of the bankers. Whether these statistics would hold good in this country we have not the means of determining.

-j- THE TEMPEST TOST. Apiece of scandal which we were at first inclined to pass without notice or comment appeared for the first time in the New York papers of Sunday and Monday. Unsupported by further testimony we should have set the story down as one of those sensational romances with which, newspaper readers are familiar and which, as we thought possible in this care, might hav ita origin in malice and a desire to further blacken the character of a man already unfortu nate enough in that respect. But further and later reports leave no room for doubt that the story as first related was substantially true. The story as told in a special to the Chicago Times, will be found on the seventh page. After several days silence, Mr. Tilton has been "induced by his friends!' to publish a denial, but then—4

WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROBF• In these red-hot campaigning times when politics has come to be considered the only question worthy of discussion when all the otber affairs of life are thrust impatiently aside till after the election and four-fifths of the population regard the carrying of Indiana as of vastly more importance (at present) than the business of saving their own souls when the voice of the blatherskite is heard in the land and the song of the glee club is a burden when smiling and abdominous senators, congressmen, governors of States, judges of big courts and blustering non-combatants with military titles of high and low degree, go scurrying around over the country in palace cars, stopping at the best hotels and living on the fat of the land, while enlightening the simpleminded but patriotic people—whom they love and cherish as the apple of their eye—in reference to the dark and awful villainies of the opposite party and the immaculate purity and virtue of their own when these, and loud-mouthed demagogues of lesser note, go up down the land and are listened to with patience for party's sake when party men and party papers are given over to the dirty business of blackening eaoh others private character when monster torchlight processions are of nightly occurrence and sane men go prancing through the town with red shirts and brass-mounted caps, dripping coal oil over themselves and acting like howling idiots whon all sorts of nonsense and silly humbug gery is rife, but accepted as the natural and necessary outgrowth of a political campaign few beside the managers, and the unhappy victims who are bled, ever stop to think* who ia paying all the bills.

The poor candidates know mighty well where the money is coming from. They are not suffered to forget it for an hour. From the first day they announce their willingness to acoept a nomLnatlop, they are expected to "come down" at every call. To refuse to do so at any time would ruin them. And it is pretty well understood nowadays that the man who "comes down" most liberally previous to a convention, is the one who invariably gets the nomination. If he undertakes to be anyways conservative in this matter ho might as well abandon the field at once. His chance is worth jast what he pays for it. The regular assessments begin immediately after a nomination, and thoy increase in frequency and magnitude, by arithmetical progression, with the approach oft he election. But the Irregular assessments—those made by the camp followers and dead beats of the partyare much more annoying and harder to bear than the regular ones. There is no evading either. With both together, a candidate cannot—or at least, need not—expect to get off with an/ smaller outlay then the salary of the

office fbr

which he ia running for one foil year. He will be lucky If he oomea oat

that

well. If he fells in the election, after having spent all his money and time and neglected his business for months, it will, in about five cases out of six, "flatten him out financially," and otherwise. A man Is seldom any account alter he hs made one desperate race for a paying office, and suffered defeat.

But the coat to a candidate in money is the least endurable of the evils of running for an office. The loes of independence, self-respect, manhood, are infinitely more damaging. Until be ia a candidate no man can ever folly appreciate what a dirty business poises la. Inexperienced men, whose bands are clean and whose consciences per

form their fnnotions healthfully, would bo mighty shy of trying fojk an office could they be made to realize, in advance, a tenth part of the repulsive thingp involved in making the race. They would turn from it with loathing and abhorence. But they do not see them. Insensibly, almost, they are drawn into the thick of the fight and, being in politics soon learn to do as politicians do.

And by the way, as a fitting conclusion to this rather serious talk,.here is a thrilling sketch that illustrates the subject to a dot. It is called

JOHN CAIN.'

TUB TALK OP A DKFEATED CANDIDATE.

AS HE WAS.

John Cain was a quiet, unobtrusive citizen. He didn't long for fame and renown, and h^didn't care two cents whether this great and glorious country was ruled by a one-horse Republican or a two-horse democrat. «f"

HIS VIRTUES.

He had a pew in church, gave sixtfon ounces for a pound, and when a man looked him square in the eye Mr. Cain never took a back scat. He was home at a reasonable hour in the evening, never took part in the discussion, "Is lager healthy?" and many a man wished that his life rolled on as evenly and a a a in

BUT, ALAS! & A.

the tempter came. In an evil hour John Cain allowed the politicians to get after him and to surround him. They said he was the strongest man in the county that he could scoop out of his boots any man set up in opposition that the virtues were many and his faults 00000 that it was his duty to come out and take a nomination in order that this pure and incorruptible form of government be maintained pure and incorruptible. All this and much more they told him, and John Cain .,

BECAME PUFFED UP.

It surprised him some to think that he had held his peacefnl way along for forty odd yetrs, like a knot hole in a barn door, without any one having discovered what a heap of a fellow lie was, but he concluded that there was a new era in politics and that it was all right.

THEY BAMBOOZLED HIM.

The politicians covered John Cain with soft soap. They told him that the canvass shouldn't cost him a red, and that he could still retire at 8 o'clock every evening and rest assured that his interests would be properly cared for. It was to be a still hunt in a very quiet election, and he would hardly know what was going on. John was an honest, unsuspecting idiot, and he swallowed their words as the confiding fish absorbs the baited hook.

THE PLOT THICKENS. ,*

John Cain was duly nominated and the band came out and serenaded him With the band came out several hundred electors, who filled the Cain mansion to overflowing, spit tobacco all over the bouse, ate and drank all they could find, broke down the gate, and went off with three cheers for John Cain. isg

WANTED SUGAR.

Before the convass was ten days old. half a dozen men called on Cam and gently hinted to him that he must come down with the "sugar." He didn't even know what "sugar" was until they explained. They wanted money to raise a pole, to buy beer, to get slips printed, and to do fifty other things with, all for his particular benefit, and he had to hand out the money.

THE COMBAT DEEPENS

In the oourso of another week they drew Cain out to make a speech at a ward meeting. He tried to claw off, but they told him that the opposing candidate would run him out of sight if he didn't come out, and he went out. When he got through speaking the crowd drank at his expense, ana Mr. Cain was astonished at the way the liauor went down, and more astonished at'tbe way the bill footed up. 'He didn't reach home until midnight, and for the first time in his life he was going to bed with his boots on. His wife wouldn't speak to him, the hired girl left the house to save her character, and John Cain wished that the politicians had let him alone. 1 INCREASE OF CURRENCY.

More men came and crooked fclieir fingers at him and whispered "sugar." They wanted money to buy some doubtful votes, and to hire four-horse teams, and to mail his slips, and he had to come down. He hesitated about it, but they told him that the opposing cendidate felt sure of victory, and that acted as a spur.

WARM HEARTED FRIKNDS

There was hardly a night that from 14 to 240 friends did not call on Mr. Cain to inform him as to the "prospects." They

Cain

drank up the currant wine Mrs. had laid by for sickness, emptfed her ru

reserve jars, and there wasn't a morning that she couldn't sweep out 40 or 60 cigai stubs and a peck of mud. They all told Cain that he would beat the other man so far out of sight that it would take a carrier pigeon to find him, and he couldn't very well refuse to go over to the corner grocery and "set 'em op" for the boys.

stubs and a peck of mud. They

THE CRISIS

finally came. On the eve of the election Mr. Cain's friends called for "sugar" again, and he bad to sugar 'em. A big crowd called to warn him that he would certainly be elected, and the sa!osn bill was |28 more. Thirteen or fourteen men Bhook hands with his wife, a hundred or more shook hands with him, and lie bad to get up and declare that be dn't favorwomen's rights and that he did that he was down on whiskey, and yet loved it as a beverage that he wanted the currency inflated, and yet favored specie payments that he favored the vil rights bill, and yet didn't, and in

Is brief speech Mrs. Cain counted twen-ty-seven straight lies, besides the evasions. Mr. Cain wanted to hold popular views, and be had to be on all aides at onoe.

ELECTION DAT.

On the day of election they dragged him from poll to poll, stopping at all the saloons on the way. He had to make 256,000 promises, pull his wallet until it was as flat as a wafer, drink lager with some and cold water with others, and when night came be went home and tried to bug the hired girl, called Mrs. Cain his dear old rhinoceros and fell over the cradle and went to sleep with his bead under the stove.

HOW HE SCOOPED 'EX.

When Mr. Cain arose in the morning and became sober enough to read the election returns be found be had scooped 'em as follow*: aptmriOK Candidate. 1M» John Cain

Cain's (in a horr4 VUAN HAP. I"^. Mr. Cain went out and sat down un der an applo tree in his back yard, and

he save himself up to reflections and so forth. Through the leafless branches sighed the November winds, and in the house sighed Mrs. Caio, and both sighs murmured gently in bis ear:

John Cain's a perpendicular idiot."

THE council has authorized the erection of a brick building 15 by 25 feet, and two stories in hight, for the accommodation of tramps. It will be built on the west side of the Fourth street market house and is estimated to cost $450.

Mr. Woolsou, lato of Nashville, Tenn., will succeed Mr. Gutb in this city. Mr. Charles Pfiefer, whom many citizens will remember as the genial young gentleman who formerly clerked for George L. Biegler, and previous to that for Dan Miller, having been recommended by the quarterly conference, waa sent to the Batesville circuit, twelve miles above New Albany. Mr. Pfiefer baa recently graduated at the Wallace University, at Berea, Ohio, and is regarded as a young man of great promise.
