ONE CJHAJBOX

SENATOR MORTON bad a bad spell" tbis week, bnt rallied and is now doing well.

RIFLE shooting is the coming diversion. What if is sbonld supplant base ball!

OCR climate is oi such variety that it oagbt to suit all tastes, and yet we daily bear unreasonable persons growling about the weatber.

A NASHVILLE paper publishes a list of eighty criminals of Tennessee now at large, and for whose arrests re wards amounting to 930,000 have been offered.

THE most remarkable railroad feat yet on record was accomplished on the Canada Southern railroad last week, when a special train ran 111 miles in 109 minutes.

WE bad some big pumpkins at our county fair but we) read a pumpkin that measures over s)x feet in circumference, and weighs above two hundred pounds, is still growing in California.

PRESIDENT HATES will be the third President to visit Richmond since the war ended. Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Johnson were the others. General made his visit before be was made President.

THE Indiana State Fair begins next Monday, and continues through the week. The exposition business has been abandoned tbls year and special efforts directed towards making a good agricultural fair. ______

LAST Sunday President Hayes visited the old lady that predicted that be would be president. Hundreds of old ladies have predicted that hundreds of boys would sometime be president. It would be strange if some ef these predictions didn't come true.

ANOTHER wife murderer has come to grief. At Irasburg, Vermont, last Saturday the jury in the Hayden wife murder case rendered a verdict of murder in the llrst degree. The prisoner requested immediate sentence and execution. Sentence was deferred.

GOLD, in New York, tbis week, touched 2%, tbe lowest quotation since the suspension of specie payments in 1862. If tbe financial tinkers will only shut up shop, resumption will come about in due time without any per ceptlble jar.

OH these editors! Over at Marshall Frost says to the venerable Littlefield: Go ahead, you old hedge hog, and let the people know that you are the biggest fool that ever disgraced civilization and at Paris. Sboaff speaks of Prior as a beer perfumed jib-boom J"

WERE it not tor the observant and painstaking associated press reporter, the great mass of the people of this glorious Union would not have known that when the President entered Louisville nn Monday his "left hand hung by his side,while bis right was across bis breast I"

IF the demonstration at Louisville is a fair sample of what is to follow, President Hayea' journey through the South will be a prouder triumphal march than any monarch ever made, for his greetings are the spontaneous outpourings of grateful and as we believe, patriotic hearts, who see in him the deliverer of their country from the evils of sectional strife and division.

THE beating of the English rifle team by the Americans, in the great shooting tournament at Creedmoor, Is another illustratiou of American ability to be superior whenever and in whatever it chooaes. No people In the world do things worse, oroan do them better when they choose to take the pains, than the people of this oountry. Tbe trouble Is, generally, to get them down to honest, faithful effort.

THAT sick man," of Tttrkey is remarkably convalesoenfc. Tbe Russian forces about Plevna seem to be exhausted, and reports say will now prepare for winter and act only on the defensive. Russia has made enormous sacrifices of money and men, without avail, and ali Europe Is agitated over the result. With another campaign impending, it seems impossible for other powers to keep out of the fight. Unless arbitration steps in lively times may be expected next year.

HKRSTOFORS one great ottfeetkra on tbe part of the women of Wyoming Territory to turning out and voting at the elections has been the feet that they were compelled to fell Into line with tbe men and await their turn. This year, however, separate voting places for the ladies have been established, at which tbe judges of election am ladles. This fell then an several lady candidates for the legislature, which tact will undoubtedly stimulate the women to tarn out In jjfull force and exercise their privilege of voting. S

STANLEY, tbe African explorer, has been beard from after twelve months of anxious suspense. He has arrived on the west coast safely, but he, and what remains of his expedition, are In a pitiable condition and from his statemont they have passed through a terrible Ordeal. He has proved himself one of the moat intrepid and adventurous of explorers. Beginning on the Eastern coaat of Africa, he journeyed across the entire continent to the Western shore. The perils and sufferings through which he passed were very great and for a long time it was feared be bad met a violent death. His party waa surrcunded by cannibals and had to fight their way through and at one time were entirely without food for three days.

SINCE movipg into their two million dollar court house some of tbe Indian apolis lawyers have become exceedingly high-toned and thought they could not be happy unless the old system of hold ing two sessions of tbe courts each day were exchanged for a single session to begin at 10 a. m. and last continuoualy until 3 p. m. A meeting was called the other day to take the sense of the bar on tbe subject at which it was soon discovered that about nine-tenths of the bar were in fevor of the common sense method now in vogue. Mr. Hanna drew such a ridiculous picture of oourt in session .with whistles blowing and bells ringing all round it for dinner and everybody on their way home to midday meal that nobody had the courage to support the new-fangled" notion.

IT is perhaps not generally known that the library system cf America is the finest in the world. This is particularly true of the complete system of cataloguing which prevails in this country. It is said the British museum, though containing a half a million books, has no printed catalogue and in order to know what it embraces the inquirer must wade through 400 large folios of old fashioned manuscript catalogues. These with many other interesting facts were brought out in the congress of librarians which met recently in New York. The main work remaining to be done is to extend this splendid system of public libraries until every city and town in the land shall have its own library which will be a source of pride and profit to its citizens.

a. MEETING of the wholesale merchants of Indianapolis was held recently to consider the question of repealing the bankrupt law. The universal sentiment was that the law should be repealed forthwith, and a committee was appointed to call a mans meeting to memorialize Congress on the subject. In tbis connection ibe following statistics of the working of the law will not be without interest: During the first nine months of the existence of the law, that is, from June 25, 1867, there were 601 cases of bankruptcy in this State for tbe next two years and nine months the number was exactly the same for the following four years and nine months tbe number was also 601 and from Sept. 25,1875 to Sept. 17, 1877, the number was

002. ---sssssssg^x^ GEORGE S. COB, President of the New York Clearing House, ought to be pretty good authority on matters pertaining to currency and finance. Mr. Coe is a believer in the feasibility of specie resumption and presented resolutions at the recent meeting cf the American Bankers' Association in favor of tbe issue of four per cent, government bonds in which the people may invest their savings. By tbis means hundreds of millions of bonds would be distributed among the people in small sums and, by retiring tbe greenbacks received by the government in payment of the bonds, the conditions of specie payment would gradually and safely be reached. In addition to that we may add that a large saving of interest on the public debt would result from this arrangement. The debt is now mainly in the hands of foreign capitalists and drawing per cent, interest. The interest Isst year amounted to nearly $100,000,000. Distribute that debt among tbe people in the shape of four per cent, bonds and there would be an annual saving in interest of a great many millions of dollars and the Interest whioh the government paid would remain among our own people at home Instead of enriohing the coffers of English and German bondholders. There is a great deal to be said in fevor of the change.

THE off-hand suggestion of Mr. Beech er that a man ought to be able to supporta femilyon one dollar a day, while It has heaped upon his head much undeserved abuse, has had good results In earning numerous perplexed housekeepers to enquire how it la to be done, and others have contributed their bill of expenses to show how they live or do not live on amail salaries. A writer In the New York Son got into hot wat*r by giving a statement of his expenditures showing that he spent two dollars a month more than his income. Forthwith came a aoore of men on the same salary who showed a doaen items in which the first waa extravagant. It waa claimed that he bought butter at thirty cents a pound when a good article waa to be bad for twenty-five that he might •ave a half cent a pound on sugar, five cents on coffee, two dollars a month on puts tons, two dollars on coal and so on.

tbeae are times when such hints are particularly valuabls. Thousand* of people all over tbe country wearing themselves out in tbe *ffb*t to makobotb ends meet, sod too fewsuooeed In doing it after all. On one point, however, It Is to be observed that tbe successful are agreed, and that it to that tbe moment a man allowable expenditurea to exceed his income, on any pretext, be takes a step towarda bankruptcy, and steps in that direction are not easily retraced.

WHEN Senator Morton was first strick en down, many daily papers put in type obituary articles, to be ready In sny emergency. One wss put in type in this city. All of these articles have long sinoe been thrown back iu the case, a dead loss in type setting. Col Forney, of the Philadelphia Preas, howover, made use of his by sending a proof slip to the sick senator, sooompanied by a letter expressing his pleasurej^at there was no occasion to publish It.*

Shows Show People.

Selden Irwin, the popular actor and manager Is now traveling with one of tbe best dramatic companies on tbe road. On next Wedneeday and Tbursdsy evenings he will present two of the finest dramaa now on the stage. On the first evening will be given tbe famous

Big Bonanza," and on Thursday evening the emotional drama of Mis=t Multon," introducing the most elegant toilets. A reasonable scale of prices is announced, and no extra charge is made for reserved seats.

DANIEL," a beautiful religious opera," if we may be permitted to so class it, will be produced at the Opera House next Friday evening. Under the bead of amusements mention is made of the ladies and gentlemen who will take the leading roles. It will be seen that the list embraoes the very best vocal talent in the city. A chorus of forty picked voices will lend assistsnce. Elegant costumes will be brought from Chicago, and every effort made to put it on the stage in the very best style. The parts have been thoroughly rehearsed, and we are assured that it will be the best home musical entertainment ever given in tbis city. And yet tbe price of admission is only twenty five cents. For twenty five cents more a reserved seat can be secured at the Central bookstore.

Lectures Lecturers.

Last evening Rev. J. C. Fletcher who has spent twenty four years in foreign lands, delivered a lecture at the Congregational church on Italy, Vesuvius and the buried cities. The audience was very large (for Terre Haute) and seemed deeply interested. A second lecture, under the same auspices, Normal School and Y. M. C. A., will be delivered two weeks from last night, on the life and customs of the people of Pompeii.

Hon D. W. Voorhees went to Louisville yesterday, where this evening for the first time he will deliver his lecture on Thomss Jefferson. He will repest it in this city at the Opera House on Tuesday evening, the 2d of October.

The "Home Course" of lectures being engineered by I. H. C. Boyse far the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. gives promise of merit. Some of the very best talent of tbis and neighboring cities has been drawn on snd the list will be about as follows: Hon. T. H. Nelson on The Political Status of Mexico Hon. Wm. Mack on "Egypt and tbe Pyramids Hon. Thos. B. Long Hon. John T. Scott Dr. Joseph Richardson Prof. J. T. Scovell, on Evolution Dr. Lemuel Moss, President of tbe State University, Bioomington, Ind. Prof. G» W. Hoss, of State University, Bioomington, on

What can she doProf. John C. Ridpatb, of Asbury University of Greencastle Rev. W. R. Goodwin, D. D., of Danville, Ills., on The Old vs. tbe New."

In addition to the above, Hon. G. R. Wendling of Shelby vllle, 111., and Prof. White of Wabash College, Crawfordsville, have been invited and are expected to lecture in tbe course.

As this Is not a money making enterprise, the price of admission for tbe whole course of twelve lectures will be put at 91.00 or single admission 10 cents. Tbe first lectures will be on Friday eve ning, Oct. 12th, and continue through the winter on Friday evenings. i.

The American Lecture Bureau, Cuoper Institute, has announced tbe lecturea for

the

coming season, from which we

gather tbe following fecta: Wendell Pbilllpa will only lecture tbla winter where he can ran back to Boston the same night. Mr. Phillips says ha, begins to feel the weight of years, (threescore,) that he has enough of this world's goods, and ia now glad to leave the lec ture field to younger aspirants.* Mr. Phillips, sometimes called tbe "great Boaton scold," at others tbe alivertongued orator," with William Lloyd Garrison, Oliver Wendell Holmes Mid George W. Curtis, la the veteran of the platform Wendell Phillips is a wealthy man, paying taxes on f250,000. jameaT. Flelda has twelve lectures fir this season subjects—" Charles Lamb,"

Christopher North," Alfred Tennyson," Sidney Smith," Wordsworth," De Quincey," Keats," Longfellow," "Hood," Oowper" and "RuftjaOioate." Mr. Fields' lectures are generally, if not always, in courses and before collegei.

John B. Gough will oontinoe to talk about Blunders" and "Temperance." Tbe great temperance advocate to get* tlag oldaad rather feeble. During tbe cummer Mr. Gough spends his time on bis wonderful ferm near Worcester,

His neighbors say bis vegetables

cost even more than those of William M. Evarte. Mr. Greeley used to raise com that oust him fS per bushel. When be counted the ears of corn fed to a fet bog, be found tbe luxurious animal cost him 9200. Mr. Gough is veryiHcb,

Msrk Twsin will not lecture this season. He says be hss reformed forever. Ell Perklnb lectured one hundred and thirty times Isst winter, and traveled thirty nine thousand milea, ten thousand miles more thsn Tbctodore TUton traveled last season. Perkins' last lecture wss in Brigham Young's theatre, with Brigbam Young and five wives in tbe box. Naaby* Twain and Perkins are well endowed. Nasby owns the Toledo Blade, Twain owns a hundred thousand dollar residence in Hartford, and Ell Perkins lives In sn elegant brown stone house, 468 Fifth Avenue.

Ben Butler refuses to lecture, and so does Anna Dickinson. Miss Dickinson will devote herself to the btage exclusively, and tbe platform will lose one of tbe most eloquent lady lecturers this oountry bss produced.

Miss Susan B. Anthony will talk about "Women's Rights Mrs. Iivermore will talk ab3ut "Our Girls,"and Ann Eliza, whom tbe courts have decided was not Brigbam Young's nineteenth wife, will continue' to pitch iuto tbe prophet and raise her volco against polygamy.

Among travelers we shall have Bayard Taylor, on "Ancient Egypt Colonel Sanford, on Palestine, Rome, Pompeii, Naples and India Colonel Knox, on "Siberia and Mayor Powell, on tbe

Great West." Theodore Tilton has returned from Europe, and is now writing a iectureon

The Old World and New." jV? Colonel Ingersoll's great subject is liberty for Man, Woman and Child." Among the readers this winter will be Helen Potter, Burbank, Stowart Rodgers, W. S. Andrews and Dr. J. VI llers. Mr. Villers imitates Artemus Ward, Josb BilHngs, Mark Twain, Eli Perkins snd Nasby so well that tbe audiences imagine these gentlemen to be present. Mrs. Scott Siddons is still in Europe, and may not return in time to take the platform.

Henry Ward Beecher will go through to California next spring, lecturing about twenty nights in the extreme West. T. De Witt Talmage will talk about "The Bright Side of Things," "People We Meet," Rocks on which People Split."

Eli Perkins (Melville D. Landon) will have three subjects this winter—" The Perkins Family," Philosophy of Fun," and Humor and Pathos." He starts on his lecture tour October 25, going as far as Omaha and .back, and then into New England.

Among tbe poets we sball have Wi'l Carleton, (who will read his ballads,) and Joaquin Miller. John G. Saxe was injured on tbe cars two years ago, and it is not probable he will appear before tbe public this season. The poet resides in Brooklyn, in a beautiful residence on First Place whioh he owns.
