THE grasshoppers have got to China where a column eight miles long and one mile wide recently darkened tbe sky.

BETWEEN the telephone and the blue glass, it seems the country will have something to talk about even after the Presidential question is settled.

THE Toledo Blade notices as "another case of gratitude," that a Boston woman has just received a $3,000 legacy from a Western farmer whom Bhe refused to marry a few years ago.

THE present Legislature is generally conceded the most creditable of any for several years past. The Senate, partic ularly, is an exceedingly fine looking and intelligent body of men- %_

A POOR fellow was hung at Pittsburg, Pa., on Monday. There is nothing so very singular about that except the idea of having a hanging on Monday. Friday has been "hangman's day" from time immemorial.

As A result of a combination of re spectable citizens, tbe disreputable houses of Poughkeepsie have been closed, and the proprietors have been sentenced to $250 fine each, and one year's imprisotament.

INDIANAPOLIS clergymen are rising "tooth and toe-nail" against the proposition to tax church property, but so far as we have been able to observe have not produced any very weighty argument to sustain their position.

"When

you've got your hand in-a lion's mouth, it's exceedingly bad policy to be making faces at the fellow at the other end, twisting that lion's tail."

RUMORS prevail that an extra session of the Legislature will be necessary to complete the business. Perhaps a moderate degree of haste and an extra hour or two's work daily might enable the solons to transact all necessary business and in better satisfaction than an extjra session.

DR. WISHART, Superintendent of the Orphans Home at Knightsville, who so mysteriously disappeared from Indianapolis a week or two ago, has been beard from at New Orleans, where he Commit ted suicide, at the St. James Ifotel. He was out of hismiud. 1

FOR the first time in the hlstorf of tho country, potatoes are being imported from abroad. Several hundred barrels of French potatoes have recently arrived in New York, and at the price at which they are sold, |4 per barrel, afford tbe dealers a handsome profit. The duty is 15 cents per barrel.

THE experiment tried in Liverpool of opeuing cheap coffee houses fort he sale of cocoa, coffee, te^, and bread, to counteract tho influence of tbe Rrog shops, is proving very successful. Eighteen have already been established, and though most.o the sales are for only a half penny, they not only meet expenses, but will pay a good dividend on tho outlay. Tbey are considered a most effective weapon against intemperanc^.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says that in reply to a question whether the Democrats would prevent the completion of the count if the Louisiana case went against thens, Senator Bayard answered earnestly: "No. They may defeat us, but they can't disgrace us they may bring us into misfortune but they cannot bring us into contempt," Now, that is all right, and no one will doubt Senator Bayard's sincerity but whether he has influence enough with tho filibustering wing of his party is a question of grave importance. We hope he has.

THE opinion has been pretty generally expressed the past few days that in view oi the fact that the people of New Orlnans are complaining of such absolute, grinding and all pervading poverty that tbey cannot possibly pay taxes for tho support of the government, and that the Legislature of Tennessee is proposing to repudiate the State debt, it would have been more in keeping to have dispensed with those idiotic spectacles, tbe Mardi-Gras fooleries, this year, which must have oost many thousands of dollars. But then, the people must be amused.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MALL

Sun »yi the Widow

Van Cott is achieving success even in New York at least she draws multitudes to every meeting at which she shows heraeir. As soon as she occupies the pulpit of a church it is seized with tbe spirit of revivalism, and sinners crowd to the altar. She appears at the brokers' prayer meeting, and the hard hearts of stock operators melt under her power. She goes into tbe rougher parts of the city, and the horny-handed sinners grow anxious about their salvation She has now taken up the subject of teetotalism. and on Monday last she brought together tbe largest teetotal mass meeting that has been held in the city for many a day. Her discourse was of the old-fashioned, enthusiastic kind, and Bhe appealed to the liquor drinkers in a style that must have stirred them up. The Widow has undertaken heavy work in New York.

HON. N. T. CARR, Representative from this State, achieved a good deal of notoriety this week by speaking a few plain words to his Democratic colleagues in Congress in reference to the Electoral Commission. He said "I arise to remind the Democratic majority that in common decency, your votes on this measure have estopped you from indulging in even one word of criticism against the decision tA that tribunal Sirs, it is your own offspring yoa brought it into being, you gave it life and power, and you alono are responsible for the result. It is no excuse for you to assert that you did not anticipate such a result, that you expected higher and better things from your foundling. You had no more right to expect a tribunal so constituted to produce a different result than to expect a thornbush to bring forth figs." The Honorable gentleman from Indiana does not like the finding of tbe Commission, but thinks there is no decency in trying to defeat it now.

THE matter of building a new State House is apparently assuming definite shape, the joint committee on public buildings having agreed on the leading features of a bill. The plan is to appoint four 'commissioners, two Democrats and two Republicans, nd tbe Governor to be ex officio president of tbe bsard. The building to be erected on the present site and completed in eight years at a cost not exceeding $2,500,000, which sum is to be raised by an annual tax of two cents on the $1(0 for the first two years and five cents on the $100 for the remaining six years. This is a sensible proposition and will, we believe, give general satisfaction. If the matter is only so arranged that the State will be fully protected against swindling and incompetent architects, it i) all right. But right there is the rock. There are about nine chances to one that if a two million building is commenced, it will co eight millions or more to complete it. The tax proposed will not hurt anybody and the State can well afford a two million building. 1a*'

A VIGOROUS movement is being made in Philadelphia to stop the ringing of church bells. The bells of St. Mark's church are the one specifically complained of. The published testimony shows that the ohurch is in a fashionable neighborhood that would be quiet except for these bells. The annoyed residents testify that the value of the property has been depreciated that invalids have been endangered that many go out of town on Saturday and remain until Monday, in order to escape the torture on Sunday that the ringing is unskillful, and therefore more annoying to persons of musical tastie. Six physicians say the amount of sickness is unques tionably greater within hearing of the bells than it would be it they were silenced. An instance of insanity, alleged to have been caused by this nuisance, is c^ted. Proof is given of the depreciation of property. We suppose there is no'question that the ringing of church bells may become a great nuisance to those living in the immediate vicinity of the church, but we imagine that the large majority of people in all civilized countries would be sorry to have them universally silenced.

ON Wednesday Alfred H. Qenriman and A. W. Shaw, of Detroit, Mich., who have bad business transactions with J. H. N. Patrick, of Omaha, Neb., and who communicated With him by telegraph in cipher for some years past, were examined by the Senate Investigating Committee in reference to the Oregon dispatches which nobody hitherto was able to make anything out of. By the aid of the key furnished by them, which was Tbe Household English Dictionary, the dispatches have been made clear and they turn out to have been in relation to purchasing a Republican Elector. Patrick was Mr. Tilden's confidential agent at Portland, Oregon, and the proposition was made by him to Col. Pelton, Mr. Tilden's nephew and private secretary, to hire one of the Republican electors with eight thousand dollars to act with Cronan. The proposition was accepted and the money sent, but the scheme failed for some reason, probably because the Republicans refused to sell, and apart of the money was sent back to New York and part used it is presumed to fixCronin up. One of tbe dispatches reads "Tbe 8 deposited. Let no technicality prevent winning. Use your discretion" and the others are of similar unscrupulous character. It is an infamous exposure and causes a profound sensation. It is not possible that Mr. Tilden did not know what was going on.

THK proposition is made to tear down the Washington monument and rebuild it in a different style, and suspicious people scent.| "nigger in the stone pile."

As attempt was made Thursday to assassinate Governor Packard white in his ofioe at the Louisiana State Capitol. It appears jthat Mr. Packard was seated at a desk, talking to some gentlemen, wben.be vas sharply accosted by some one behind him saying "When can I see you?" Turnlnj around be found a pistol aimed at his head. He immediately struck it down and tbe weapon was discharged, tbe ball striking him in the right knee and inflicting a slight wound. Packard promptly dralt the man a blow with his fist, striking him between the eyes, and knocking him down. Several parties in the room drew their pistols and fired, wounding tbe would- be assassin seriously, but Bot fatally. Of course a scene of intense excitement immediately followed. The man, with one of bis accomplices, was arrested and gives bis name as William

Henry Weldon, and says his home is in Philadelphia. With regard to his at tempt to kill Packard, he says that there were four others with him, who were to have assisted him iu tbe undertaking, but that, when reaching the door of the State House, they refused to go in, and left bim to carry out the intended plan of assassination alone. It seems to have been a most deliberate attempt at murder and with no purpose but the gratification ofpartisan malice.

THE Electoral Commission yesterday, by a vote of eight to seven decided the Louisiana case in favor of Hayes and Wheeler. This practically settles the whole question and the remaining proceedings will be of less interest. It may now be set down that Hayes will be the next President of the United States. There is talk that the Democrats will filibuster to prevent a vote on the main question before March 4th, and thus secure anew election. It is hardly provable that enough of them can be found with the hardihood to do. The country demands peace and no such revolutionary proceedings will be tolerated. The Oregon matter will be up to-day, but tbe decision on hat is easily fore seen. Mr. Tilden is "counted out."

A COMMUNICATION from the Pence Hall Committee in reference to Mrs, Anna Stewart's materializations will be found on tbe second page of this paper. Those interested in spiritualism and at tending phenomena will doubtless pe ruse the article with interest. It is unnecessary to say that Tbe Mail does not endorse or father the conclusions reached but simply publishes what three citizens of undoubted respectability de sire to lay before the public.

By a second reference to'the article mentioned above, we see that an important omission has occurred, which was overlooked in reading the proof. In describing the composition of the color ing matter used in tbo tests (see P. S.) thf V9ry important article of lampblack should have appeared as an ingredient. It was in the copy, but left out by the compositor.

RECENT dispatches state that the Russians are concentrating in large force at Kishenef, which is in the extreme south eastern part of Russia,, about fifty miles from the Turkish line, and about eighty miles from Odessa, where another large force is concentrated. The dispatches state that the troops at the two points will aggregate 180,000 infantry, 12,000 cavalry and 720 guns, and that all the necessary arrangements have been made for throwing this large force into Turkey on the shortest notice. There can be no doubt that Russia intends to attack Turkey very soon, and from present ap pearances hostilities may be expected to commence within a few days.

ANIMATED by the example of Moody and Sank ey, the Mormons are preparing to commence a work of evangelization in New York and Brooklyn. The Herald declares that only churches that are as earnest as tho Mormons can do anything to arrest tho movement. Brigham Young's religion is a captivating one to the sensual and the ignorant, and when he begins to drag his net in those two wicked cities they will take in thousands of fish whose moral utility has always been doubted, and whose absence will leave the waters of life in a much better condition of purity than ever before.

THE report of the Hov.se upon the Northern prison reveals a state of affairs in that institution which is scand&lous in tho highest degree. Barbarous punishment, miserable food, a drunken steward, incompetent medical attendance, tbe most shameless mismanagement and downright stealing, are part of the sweeping charges made by the committee and a change of management is imperatively demanded at once. The institution at Jeffersonville is reported in just about as disgraceful a condition and tbe recommendations for cbangcs ia tho management include both. "l: *y,":

THK country bas at last reached a point where it* exports largely exceed its imports of merchandise, and where, at tbe same time, its imports of specie exceed its exports. This is an achievement of tbe utmost significance and importance, for it meaas that the United States has become master of tbe commercial situation in its intercourse With foreign nations.

THE New York Express bas at the bead of its editorial columns the deckration: "For a constitutional amendment whereby tbe people of the Unitfed States can vote directly lor president and vice president." If any one can, with sound argument, show why this amendment should not bo made, we would be glad to bear it. ft",

Notes of Revival.'

On Sunday Mr. Hammond accompanied by a^number of co-workers la tbe revival movement visited tbe jail and atation house for the purpose of talking with tbe prisoners. At the latter place they were informed that a wo* man of the town, known as Cora Campbell, was lying in an upper room at tbe point of death. By request they were Mhown to the woman's room and remained engaged in prayer and singing until her deatb, which took plaoe in half an hour. The body was taken to a kouse of ill-fame on north Second street, where she had formerly m«de her bome, and on Monday afternoon Mr. Hammond preached the funeral sermon. An immense crowd was present and the services were of tbe most impressive character.—^

On Monday evening Mr. Hammond preached a sermon addressed to men exclusively. Tbe Opera House -was filled to the last inch of standing room Not a female or child was present. It wai a remarkable scene and a remarkable sermon. During tbe time, tbe ladies and children were holding a meeting in the Congregational church, which was well attended and of thrilling interest. A large number of the poor women from the houses of prostitution attended the latter. r*

A large number of the poor women who have hitherto led lives of shame have manifested their desire to escape from such a life, an no one who sees them at the meetings can doubt their earnestness. A fearful responsibility now rests on christian people to see that they lack no encouragement to persevere in a life of virtue.

In this connection, we earnestly protest against the prominent and conspicuous display of their names mado daily in the city papers. One essential to their future welfare, as eems to us, is that the public shall not forever know them as "reformed prostitutes." The papers, without intending it, are throwing a formidable stumbling block in their way.

An incident is reported by the Ex press as follows: As Mr. Hammond left the stage, be was met by Gaorge Ross, who was holding his little child in his arm?. He was weeping, and grasped Mr H. by the hand, and said, "I have been an old whisky bloat, in Terre Haute, for many years, but, God helping me, I'll never drink another drop again as long as I live, for my wife and child. I have never been to the meetings before, but my .wife has." Being invited onto the stage, be repeated tbe same, adding that he had been a drunkard for thirty years, and that be would stick to his promise."

"J i.'

Will Clark, of whose*genuine conversion much doubt bas been expressed, is showing the most satisfactory prooiB of his sincerity. He not only attends faithfully all the meetings but he seldom fails to gather up half a dozen or more of his old companions and take them along with him.

Dr. Munhall appeared at the Opera House Wednesday evening and was warmly greeted. He spoke very feelingly of the revival work, and by re quest sang in his own inimitable way that beautiful hymn, "Almost Persuaded." Afterwards, in the inquiry meeting, he labored earnestly and with much success.

One of tbe most notable conversions is that of Mr. L. F. Perdue. He is a well known and influential citizen and since coming out on tbe Lord's side has done most valuable work for the good cause.

Tbe case of Mr. Ed. Ross is similar to Perdue's though in a less marked degree.!

The following named clergymen residing in neighboring town, have attended the revival meetings during tbe week Rev. William Miller, Church of God, Centerville Rev. E. S. Walmaley, M. E. church, Martinsville Rev. T. S. Johnson, M. E. church, Oakland, Ills.

In view of the growing interest here and the wonderful success that is attend ing bis labors, Mr. Hammond has abandoned the idea of leaving, for the presnt, and will remain indefinitely.

Religious meetings have been held, during the week, at Garvin's Commercial College, the jail, station house, engine houses and a number of other places about the city.

Dr. Munhall, after doing some excellent work here, left Thursday for Kansas City, via Yincennes. He will take charge of a revival now in progress in the city first named/ T' 14' IK mat

The conversion of Chauncy B. and Ed. Lee and their enthusiastic participation in the revival work since, is tho subject of general rejoicing among church people.

Mr. Sammis presence at the revival meetings this week has been of great advantage to tho cause. Ho has many friends here and his influence is great.

Very interesting independent revivals are going on in tbe Christian churcb, on Mulberry street, and the U. B. churcb, corner of Fourteenth and Chestnut.

A statist!can bas noticed that on the grounds where revivals have been held, marriages spring up wonderfully thick for awhile.

Thirteen additions were made to the membership of the Christian churcb this week.

Dan Deaue, everybody's friend at the Opera House, is a recent convert. Hammond has been in tbe revival business seventeen years. *r:

large number of worthy ladiss met. Tuesday evening at the Baptist church.* and took Jrteps toward organizing a Womans Christian Association to rescue fallen women. An* executive committee consisting of the following ladles, ir. two from eacfo churcb, was appointed and empowered to act for tbe association until a permanent organization is oompleted:

Baptist—Mrs. Waters and Mrs. Boland.Centenary—Mia. Crawford, Mrs. Hod gins.

Asbury—Mm. Jackson, Mrs. Loveland. First Presbyterian—Mrs. Nay lor, Mrs.: Austin.

Second Presbyterian—Mrs. Holland,. Mrs. Ed. Ross. Universalist—Mrs. Samuel McKeen,. Mrs. Miller.

Episcopal—Miss Mary Cox. drt Congregational—Mrs.Joab, Mrs. Hunley.

Christian—Mrs. McCandlick, Mrs.. Brown. 5?. It was decided that a house be eiffgag-r ed, furnished and provisioned for one month, to be placod under a matron towhich these girls shall be taken at once, as fast as they are rescued from theirsinful ways. Funds are to be raised by solicitation and donations. A house on Chestnut, between Sixth and Seventh* •streets has been rented and contributions of furniture, food and money arebeing solicited. Citizens who sympathiza with this excellent work are requested to help it along by leaving such articles as tbey are able to donate, with

Mrs. Dr. Waters, coner Sixth and Cherry, or Mrs. Ross, corner Fifth and Cherry. ___________

THE Indianapolis Herald warns economical epicures to beware of cheap oysters, sold in tbe markets. Honest, dealers sell a cau of "Select" oysters, containing a little less than a quart, for fifty cents. The oysters are large, and there is little "liquor" in the can. A smaller oyster, with more liquor, is sold: for thirty or thirty.fivo cents. A can of still smaller oysters, with more liquor,-* diluted with water, is sold for twentyfive, and even twenty cents. When you. find large, fine-looking oysters sold iu tbe market for fifteen cents a quart, you besure that there is something rotten .^,, nearer home than Denmark. They are

Selects" which have begun to rot in the-' can, bnt have been tipped open, washed with soda and salt, which process takes. away tbe sour smell, and temporarily arrests tbe process of decay long enough^ to have them sold. If we had a market master worth his salt these things couldn't be without making somebody n'.wsweat for it.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY, St. Patrick's Day and Fifteenth- Amendment ^,., day are rolling around. And by the way, February is quite a distinguished kind of a month in the way of days,^ v'.' though it hasn't so many of them as, some other months. In addition to fValentine's Day and the opening of Lent it brings soma dates worthy a pass- 7! ing notice. Saturday, tbe 3d, was tbem,.birthday of Horace Greeley, who, had*"

he lived, would have been sixty-six/ Tbe 7th was tho birthday cf Dickens,.'} the Shakespeare of Action, who was a!«•«. year younger than Greeley. Throe of®

our Presidents also are on the birth, record of the month, Harrison the 9th,', Lincoln tbe 12th, and Washington the 22d. The most popular (or at least the most frequently quoted) of Amerioan, poets also was a February babe, and tbe 27th gives Longfellow the ripe age of three score and ten. When are added to these the birthdays of such astronomers.,, as Galileo (the 15th) and Copernicus (the'119th,) it is easy to soe the honor confer- '*:3' red upon the closing month of winter.
