FEWER failures have occurred in Terre Haute within the past three years than in any other city of ita size in the West. Tbe entire number,

assignments,

compromises and bankruptcies, could almost be counted on the fingers of two bands. They certainly would not number a dozen. Not a tithe of those one can hear of in the ordinary course of street gossip have ever occurred, and there is no good citizen but would be both surprised and gratified- could he read the actual list.

ATTENTION has been called to a' curious similarity in the January and February weather of the last three years. It is nice weather—bitlmy and pleasant. And yet—we are not happy about it. Even whon the air has been the balmiest and the thermometer bfes been the highest we have not dared enfoy the weather, but have had a guilty consciousness that such enjoyment would be out of place and a foreboding that we shall have to pay for it by and by. If it is all tbe same to the weather clerk vie would prefer having winter in the winter months. ,, *"4

A SCHOOL, mistress at Lebanon, in this State, thrashed twenty pupils recently, in succession, soon after opening school. It caused great excitement, not only among the thrashees, bnt among their parents and friends. The lecal paper lectured her and three ministers got up an indignation meeting, but the lady was plucky and fought it out to the end, securing a decided victory on general principles. The Superintendent sustained her, as did also the School Board, and ultimately a public meeting endorsed her course. She has discipline in that school now.

IN the retirement of the Grant family from the White House there is one point worthy of notice. It has never had a mistress more sincerely respected, or whc*e noble and womanly qualities were more generally and cheerfully acknowledged, than Mrs. Grant. Amid all the criticisms made upon her husband, not an unkind word has ever been directed toward her. Her life, her habits at home and abroad, her nobility of character, tbe genial radiance of her disposition, and her kindliness of heart have oemmanded universal admiration. She has proven herself a noble and womanly woman and worthy of all honor.

TSK iSKRVANT ClRL QUESTION. A

valued correspondent sends us for publication a: communication on the servant girl question," A question by tbe way whtch would have been talked to death long ago, were it not of suoh paramount and permanent interest to nearly every member of the oommunlty It is an un felling subject for essayists when other topics are exhaustod, it is tbe first thing touched upon in conver sation, when housewifely oonfidenoes begin, and it claims a large space every book 011 household economy Our correspondent has a code of in structians, in feet, which, if carefully carried out, would make us put Turvey drop himself to shame in our deport naent toward Bridget and yet she ack nowledges frankly and sorrowfully that in spite of all her excellent theories tbe relations between her and her help are confessedly getting worse every day The communication is too long for pub lication—at least at present—and as nothing practical, as she concedes, is suggested, we will lay it away for future deliberation. Now, we do not pretend to be able to settle the question, or even to add anything to Miss Beecher's and Marion Harland's admirable formulas but there is one rule which English experience has devised, and which is certainly effective in making Bridget more docile and mannerly than with us and to it we would call attention. The rule is, never to employ a servant who cannot bring satisfactory reference from her last place, and so rigidly is it adhered to by all classes that it is said to be little short of ruinous for a girl to be sent adrift in London without a favorable "character." Of course we understand that almost every housekeeper within our acquaintance is supposed to practice this rule—that they even think thej do practice it—but we know too that they do not. At least, they are so care less about it that the practice amounts to less than nothing.

There is a little yellow ant in Eng. land, Sir John says, which regularly raises poultry it stores up through winter the eggs of aphides (which we suppose would be vulgarly called plant lice) which, being hatched in Spring, give tbem a good supply of provision. In the same nest he finds different classes, sQme being tralned'as soldiers, some as laborers and others as eommisariat agents. Sir John found that two particular ants were invariably sent out to Wring in food placed at the dxr, when these were iemoved by him, two others were' appointed who came just as invariably and so on so often as the special officials were removed. The ants •keep a more various stock of animals for their provisions, than Englishmen do and there are two tiny creatures—an aphis 8nd a beetle—always fbund in their nests, but never eaten or used, apparently their cat and dog. Slavery prevails, and there is no anti-slavery society. It is the great middle-class who bold no slaves who develep tbe marvelous intelligence «nd enterprise, displayed by ants. Some of the young readers of The Mail who have plenty of leisure time might employ it pleasantly and profitably next Summer by starting afi ant colony and studying the creatures.

THE Electoral Commission yesterday by the usual vote of eight to seven declared that the three votes of Oregon should be oounted for Hayes and Wheeler. The Commission was unanimous in the decision that Cronin was not elected. This being the last of the disputed States, tbe question of declaring Hayes and Wheeler tbe duly elected President and Vice President will bo very speedily settled if the Democrats do not decide to defeat the same by fillibustering. __________

THE Chicago Tribune advocates the election of Senator Morton as President tbe Senate, and the Chicago Post wants the place giveu to Senator Newton Booth. The Post acknowledges however that Morton would be a fearful alternative to the Democratic fillibusters. "Tbeir condition," it says, "would be like that of tbe man who in dodging.a feather-bolster was caught on the cow catcher of a locomotive going at the rate of sixty milee an hour."

Tint success of the experiment of shipping beef to England la having an effect on priced in this ooontry. Quite ail advance baa taken place in the Eastern markets. The experiment of shipping live stock ia to be tried and if it proves successful, extensive aad rapid importation from tbe West will be tbe result.

Before searching after far-fetched and impractical solutions of the servant girl question, it would certainly be well to harmonize our practice with a rule which is preeminently coiiimon-sensible which can easily be carried out, and which long experience in England has proved to be efficient. It is not claimed of course, that it would leave no more complexities to be adjusted, but simply that it would put Bridget under more powerful inducements to good behavior than a lifetime devoted to practicing before her the theologic virtues and the amenities of social life. ____________ ft if

A SUGGESTION.

Sir John Lubbock, who has Deen for tbe past three years devoting his attention to ants, declares that though the ape ranks next to man in form, the ant ranks next to him in intellect, and that if the ants should eve»- be able to make up by numbers for their deficiency of size they might be able to cope with man on no unequal terms. He has recently been telling some marvellous stories regarding their habits. He has an ant room and the ants in it are watched day and night. Bis assistants are his little daughter and her govern-

THE inhabiWints of India have tbe most surprising facultyof getting themselves kifled, c^ any other people on earth. A boiler exploded reoenl4y{near Calcutta.' Now In America, it might have been that such an accident wooM have killed the' engineer, scalded the fireman and possibly frightened a bystandei or two pretty badly but there, fifty persons were killed outright and one thousand wounded.

BEECHER IN ST. LO UI& [St. Louis Globe Democrat.] Rev. Henry Ward Beecber will reach this city on Saturday, we understand an 1 is exp?ded to preach in Pilgrim Congregational church on Sunday morning and evening. An attempt has been made to keep the mattersecret, and thus! prevent tb« overcrowding of tbe edifice referred to. We think it would be in much better taste for the eood people of Pilgrim church to secure the largest hall in tbe city—the Rink, if possible—and throw it open to the public oo those two occasions. The people all want to bear this great divine, and, to the extent that any one roof will afford the opportunity, they ought to be ftratified in this desire. Tbe money necessary to secure and fit up tbe Rink, or any other public ball, for this purpose can be raiaed on 'change in ten minutes.

THERE are indications of better times near at hand, when every one can afford to indulge more in luxuries. Syce's Carpet Hall, ranking second to none of the kind of business in the West, is the very first in the front rank to take advantage of returning prosperity and appears to-day ia the columns of The Mail, with an advertisement setting forth the great inducements they have to offer in stock and prices of Carpets and House Furnishing Goods.

Mr. Walmsley who is in the market writes home that they never had so attractive a stock as is now in tho house, tbe result of recent purchases bought for cash at tbe lowest bottom pricesmuch less than heretofore. A feature of enterprise with the house, in order to create an increase demand before openingof the season, iv that they will offer extra low prices during the month of March. ^3-?-: 7, ajr.f 1 V»u —Many new goods have been receiv ed this week at the "Latest Novelty Store," of Hughes and Reed, making it even more than usually attractiye to tbe ladies.
