TWO EDITIONS

Of this Paper aro published. The FIRST EDITION, on Friday Evening hM a large circulation in the surrounding all towns, -where it la cold by newsboys and agents.

The SECOND EDITION, on Saturday Kvening, goes Into the bands of nearly every reading person in the city, and the farm an of this immediate vicinity.

GREAT truths are the simplest. The Indianapolis Herald explains the result of the Obioelection by the single word "flop."

SENATOR MORTON was removed from Richmond to his Indianapolis residence, Monday evening. He bore the trip well, and now confidently expects to take bis seat in the Senate at the regular session.

IT is stated that nearly three thousand divorces havo been granted in four coan•iltles of Utah since January 1,1877, and the record of other counties would largely swell this aggregate. This oity lias contributed one case.^W

THE Albany Journal says that Oakey Hall could stand the charge that he had fled his country for fear of criminal pros®*%cution, but his sensitive and refined soul could not brook the accusation that he had run away with a woman with a wart on her nose.

IT seems to be the rule for aft& generations to recognize great genius in any certain individuals. The people of Chesterfield, England, the birth place of George Stephenson, the railway inventor, aro to honor his memory by the erection of a mammoth hall, costing 960,000, to be used for educational purposes.

THH blue blooded scions of New York aristocracy, not content with our National sports, have introduced into this country an English field sport, that of fox hunting. Nine men and twelve hounds recently participated in the yrand sport of chasing one poor lone fox to death. ____________

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago Times, writing from San Antonio, Texas concerning the negro soldiery in the U. S. army, say they are ignorant, lustful, and dishonest to such a degree that they will sell their equipments and even their clothes to buy whisky, and are, "generally speaking, a pack of sneak thieves who are neither ornamental or useful on our Southern frontier." There is danger of our being precipitated into a useless war with Mexico by such.a lot of "deftnders." __________

THX National Congress, convened on Monday in special session. The President's message was a short and busi-ness-like document, oocupying about a •column of the papers, confined almost exclusively to a statement of the deficiencies in the war, navy and judiciary departments, and urging the noc&sity of necessary appropriations. In its reading the novel spectacle was presented of a President delivering his first message to a Congress not in political accord with tbe party which elected him. Under no other government oould this occur.

SrnuT materializers in Philadelphia Qo not have it all their own way as in this city. Conditions are sometimes broken by skeptical visitors and then come exposures. They have got into the courts and occupy considerable attention. Some of the testimony given has shown at least a perfect willingness on the part of the deluded ones to be victimised. The answer given to the question: "How do spirits materialize was, By gathering the particles of tbe atmosphere together with those taken from the medium necessary to form material substances." Now we all know how it Is done. •HP

NRW YORK proposes to take a hand in tfco needle business. The neoeesary fUnds (8100,000) havo been pledged to Ml up in Madison Square one of Cleopatra's Needles. Three obelisks stood in Alexandria which are sometimes spoken of as her needles. One of them was taken to Rome nearly two thousand yean ago another, long prostrate In the aand, was recently ahipped to England, and the third, which is tie Cleopatra's Needle about which every schoolboy has read, and whish la now erect and almost intact, is the one Mebemet has generoasiy offered to donate to America on oondlUau it ha sito in New York.

MONET SAVERS.

There Is a general tendency te speak slightly of those who save money, and to extol those who do not. It Is not easy to indloate tb© precise grounds upon which this Is done but there sppears to prevail an impression to the effect that one class are mean-souled, sordid, and greedy, while the other are full of generous Impulses. This impression, however, does not seem to be Justified by tbe facts of the case. In many cases, those who spend recklessly are by no means philanthropic. Tbey throw about their money, it is true, but they do so more in a spirit of bravado than from charitable impulses. Their benevolence is, to say the best that can be said of it, decidedly erratic, and unfortunate indeed is the being who is dependent upon them. Because they scatter their mon ey with an apparently lavish hand wherever tbey go, and when the eyes of the world are upon them, it does not fol low that they are doing anything more than giving way to a particular form of self-indulgence. They may treat their friends to costly entertainments, but there is little charity involved in the pro ceeding where the entertainments are given at the expense of creditors who are being defrauded of their rights, course, it may be held that it is a rather clever thing to cheat one's creditors in order that one may be generous to one acquaintances but the man who does this invariably falls to stand the wear and tear of time. The probability is that, sooner or later, he attempts to cheat you with the same skill that he has cheated his creditors and the chances are that you discover ere long that bis promises are not to be relied upon, and that it is hopeless to expect him to keep his engagements. Nor is this all. It will be found that notwithstanding all his grand show/ be is indifferent who suffers so long as he is not forced to deny him self. On the other hand, tbe man who saves money will generally be proved to be a man of his word. Unlike the spend thrift, who readily promises to do every thing but actually performs next to nothing, the money saver is slow to promise, but what he does engage to do he is quick to accomplish. This arises from tbe fact that when he makes an engagement he carefully calculates how far he will will be able to fulfil it. He does not say that he will pay you a certain amount in a certain time on the strength of a vague hope that something will "turn up" betwixt now and then, but.upon that of carefully thoughtout and reliable calculations. He 'realizes his obligations so keenly that he is occasionally led, perhaps, to be unduly cautious. At the same time, if you want a man to do a real serviceable act of charity you must go to him rather than to a magnificent being who holds money In contempt. It is not surprising that he comes to the front in social life, and that he Is placed in positions of power and responsibility. Self-denial and integrity can never go unrewarded, their influence is so powerful and enduring. People may sneer at what they term miserliness. But providence is not miserliness, and the man who saves raone^ is not necessarily a miser. iA

A UMNI ASSOCJA TIONS. We are glad to note that theAlumul of Asbury University have determined to put forth a special effort in behalf of thW very worthy and excellent institution. A called meeting of the resident alumni of Indianapolis on last Tuesday evening was heartily-responded to and steps were taken looking to the formation of a permanent organisation. Tbe object will be to promote the welfare of tbe college by working up an increased interest in the subject among the people generally. Efforts will be made to organise similar associations In other places where there are resident alumni. Asbury University has done a noble work In the field of advanced education under tbe most dlsoouraging circumstances and it is pleasant to see that those who have profited so largely by her help have not forgotten that they owe a duty to their alma mater in return. It has been well said that the alumni of Yale and Harvard and the other great colleges of the East, have made those institutions of learning what tbey are,Jand if the colleges of the west are to be built up to something of similar proportions tho work must be largely the result of earnest, efficient and permanent alumni associations. We trust the graduates, not ouly of Asbury, but of every other good Western college will follow in the footsteps of their Indianapolis brethren and pat forth a real effort in behalf of higher education In tbe West. It is an object well worthy of small portion of their time and labor and one they will never regret having done something to promote. Besides subserving the cause of education these associations might moreover, be fraught with happy memories and be occasions of pleasant and profitable reunion.

THINK of it! Three thousand divorces granted in four counties of Utah since January 1,1877, and other counties yet to bear from 1 Besides this, in our own State at least, our locsl courts are flllort with applicants for release from taarriage vows. What does it all mean Indicates a degree of domestic unhapplness and a disregard for the aacreduess of marriage that aro simply alarming. The looseness of tho present state of morals should not oontinno. Wo must revive sgain the old fashioned idea of tbesancity of wedlock. .Wo roust sur round divorces with an atmosphere disgrace. Not that they are never jus tillable, but prima facie tbey should bo regarded with keen suspicion and the burden of proof bo thrown upon the separated pair of satisfactorily explaining the dissolution of tho mai rlage bond.

READY TO GRAB. j'! [Marshall Messenger.] t»vi

The reason that we never solcct anything from tho Terre Haute Mail, is because some member of the family is ready to grab tho paper as soon as it arrives, and it is lead by tbe whole family and never finds its way back to the office. It is one of the best papers printed in the west and should be in every household.

AN OLD MAN'S DARLING A New York correspondent tells of a curious case of infatuation in Brooklyn, in which a young, beautiful, and weal thy girl, 'extremely pretty and petite, with a roseleaf complexion, a plump vet delicate form, and a profusion of golden brown hair,' has fallen desperately in love with an old man of sixty, who is poor and even dependent. Her parents Bent her abroad for a year, during which she saw the celebrated capitals of Europe, but she returned unchanged, aud is resolved to marry him in order to •comfort his declining years.' It does not seem possible that such a strange attachment could have been formed, if the parents bad intelligently studied and conscientiously regarded the nature of their daughter and there is now only one way to cure ber lamentable madness, viz., te place ber much in tho society of eligible young men. The result, if the venerable pretender can be kept at a distance, will certainly be a new attachment. If, instead of being sent to Europe, she had been placed where, he oould not visit her. but where attractive young men were nor companions every day, she would have been cured, long since, of her fantastic caprice, and her afleotions would have found a more natural and suitable object. If a young, healthy, and good looking man and woman are brought much together, they will always "fall In love," unless there Is

some

insuperable obstacle. Youth and

beauty do not ally themselves with age unless the natural promptings have been ignored or thwarted, and tho affections starved.^.

A MANS AND A WOMAN'S WAY OF SA YINO THINGS. Look at the ridiculous wsy in which a man takes for granted that a woman will be interested in bis saying and doings. If bis wife has along story to tell him sba Is filled with misgivings lest it msy tire him, she leaves out many little picturesque touches that she may not take up his time, and, even on the band gallop, she has not arrived within call of her conclusion when he asks with confusing directness, "Well, how did It turn out?" But tbe man hss never a misgiving that be will be burned or that lifehas anything better to offer than listening to him. He begins his story st its earliest morning stages and lopes leisurely to its dose, or if it is rapid be gives it rapid transit, but he never omits anything en his wife's socount. He tells what he said and what the other pun said, and what the other man might have said, and what he would have said bad the other man said a bst he might have said. And the worst of it is—tbe fatal point is—that his confidence is justified. The woman it interested. The man's talk takes ber oat of her own into a larger life, and aha not only tolerates but enjoys it and what are yon going to do about it?—[Gail Hamilton.

A DIFFERENT KIND. [Chicago Inter-Ocean.]

Secretary Thompson, of the navy, la a different kind of a salt from that rubicund mariner, his predecessor. To see old Robeson walk tbe quarter deck of that venerable hulk of a department at Washington, and bear him roar up tbe trumpet," Blast your bloody eyes, aloft there dew up these main t'gallant stunatail yards, haul down your jibbeom, splice the main brace, and be—to ye," was one of those cautions which

The family relation is the strongest safeguard of the state. So long as it re mains pure and strong, society will be correspondingly virtuous and moral when it is weakened and disrespeoted, the morals of the community, bo assured, will rap'.dly sink and corruption spread throughout the body politic

THE municipal assembly of St. Louis recently passed a veiy singular ordi nance imposing an annual tax of twenty fire dollars upon every lawyer who practices at the bar of that city. As might be expected the legal fraternity are very indignant at this action of the city fathers and propose to contest the validity of the ordinance on the ground among others, that tho. bar is a part of the official machinery which tho State has provided for tbe administration of justice and tho attempt by a municipal body, without the consent of tbe State, to make this machinery^ source of mu nicipal revenue, is a direct interference with the government, of the State, as much so as It would be to levy a tax upon the exercise of the office of judge or governor, and that by levying an onerous tax upon one of the agencies which the State has provided for the ad ministration of justice, the regular and decent administration of justioe may be greatly impeded. The ordlnanco cer tainly seems to bo a novel one and it is somewhat difficult to see why members of the bar should bo specially taxed above other members of the community.

THE INDIAN BASKET TRICK. Ever since the capture of the strange empire of India by tbo English, or for more than a hundred years, tbe civiliar/ui people havo been bearing of tbe marvelous feats performed by tbe native jugglers. Naturally, Houdln's an nouuceuient of tho Indian basket trick marlo a urost fconsatioii. Tho curtain arose and Jlsclosed a wicker basket of oblong shape standing upon what appeared to be a liulit taole, without any cloth cover upon it. Tbe juggler entered, drapcipc a loautltul youth, dressed as an Imli»n prince, woasing a robe of white cashmere embroidered with gold, while upon his head waved a peacock's plume lu'ld by a diamond star.

4Mere*!

mercy!' cried tbe child.

'No— no mercy. You aro an Indian and a prince, and must die,' was the savaue response. •I am only a child,' cried the innocent boy. •That will not prevent my killing you.'

With piercing shrieks the child broke away and rushed to tho side wing, only to bo seized there by bis executioner, who, lifting him In bis arms, plunged bim into the basket, which he closed, strapping down the' cover. Then he drew his sword, and having tested Its sharpness by striking it in tne floor, he thrust it in the basket again and again, while tho victim inside gave the most hoartronding cries of pain and agony. Each time the sword

was

pulled out it

was seon to be covered with blood.whil© the sobs and groans from the inside of the basket grew fainter and fainter, till at length they ceased, and a ghostly silonce ensued. During this scene the excitement among the audience was intense: Ladies hid their faces behind their fans some wept aloud men shouted hoarsely, 'Enough!' The smiling juggler bowed, and proceeded to unstrap the basket, which he turned, mouth upward, to the audience, showing it to be entirely empty. In the midst of the applause which followed from the amused and relieved audience, the little Indian prince was seen to be seated in a box in tbe centre of tbe auditorium, kissing his tiny hand to those about him, aswollas to his irlend the executioner on the staje.

This trick was performed with the aid of looking glasses iuserted between tbe table leg*—a contrivance now commonly used in pantomimes and other show pieces upon our stage. But it was anew thing then, and the scene was remarkably well played by Houdin and the child. As soon as the boy got into the basket be opened a trap door in the bottom of it, which was placed over corresponding opening in the table. Hidden by tho looking-glass, he crouched below between the table legs, and shrieked and sobbed until the proper moment came for him to descend through a trap in the stage, and so pass around to the box in front of the theatre. A sponge full of a red liquid was placed at a certain spot inside the basket, and the sword passing through this, seemed to be dripping with blood. It was imperative that the juggler should not pass in front of the table, else his legs would have been reflected there, and that would have disclosed the entire secret. Houdin became dissatisfied with this trick, aud made many improvements in it, which the jugglers of our day have still lurther perfected. It is palpable that this can not be the way in which tho Indian jugglers perform the trick in the market places or other public squares iu broad daylight. They have no looking-glass table, entraps through tbe eartb.

Houdin's theory concerning them was that their basket bad an opening in it either at its front or its back, and that, wbilo,buckling and strapping down the cover, with tbe knee lifted up and pressed on tbe basket as if to lighten the leather strap more securely, tbe child crept out under the bent knee, and hid beneath the Voluminous robes of tbe juggler. Then, while the sword is piercing the .basket, and the child's sobs are most heart-rending, the crowd gathers in a compact mass about, and into the crowd the child easily escapes without being seen, and runs away. At the proper moment he comes running back as if from a distance, and of course the astonishment of the crowd is unparalleled, for tho basket has in the mean time been opened and shown to be empty.—Olive Logan, in Harpers' Magazine for November. .......

DISHONEST DEBTS.' 1

There is some danger that the nature and moral enormity of the offenso ihat a man commits when be refuses or fails to pay a debt may not be always had in mind. When one man borrows money of another he makes a promise to repay it under certain conditions. If be fails to make this repayment, except under a necessity be csn in no wise control, he is a liar he has not done what he said he would. But he is more than that. He has taken the man's money, which would never have been given him except under this promise to repay, and has pot It to bis own use, without re turn to the owner. He is a thief. Furthermore, as to the lying, he lied in the matter of a promise making it a breach of trust ss to the stealing, he stole under false pretense, and with a cloak of honesty. He is a mean kind of a liar, and a mean kind of a tbiet

The fact that tbe original promise to. repay may pass into other bands, and may become itself an article of traffic, with a varying value does not alt* the substantial truth iu the case nor does the commonness of the failure to fulfilll the promise. For most persons the best Eractice of borrowing is that which ends efore it is begun. But where there is further proceeding tbe moral principles Involvea are these which we have here set forth. We hope we have not stated them obscurely.—tOongregatlonaiist.,

ABOUT KANSAS. POMONO, FRAKKLIX Co, KAS. October 3,1877.

Editor Mail .-—Having bad many enqulriee as to bow I liked Kanssssndhow inv cropa have matured, by friends I left behind I have concluded by your permission to snswer them through tbe columns of your excellent psper as many of them as well as myself are constant readers of it. I will say that my oorn crop is equal if not superior to sny I ever raised in Indians. I also raised a crop of castor beans of fair yield. Tho bean crop of Kansas Is fully equal to a wheat crop In Indiana, about tbe came yield per acre and price per bushel. I also raised a crop of millet that went two tons to the sore, and our vegetables are good. Looking at this country rom a farmer's standpoint I can hardly see bow it can be bettered. The lands are beautifully undulating and all natural! drained while the soil is a rich black loam and will grow anything you may plant to perfection. The roaus are the finest for getting around at all seasons of the year that I have ever seen. Tbe climsteis mild and fine. Tbe educational advantages and society I believe to be equal if not better than that of Vigo county, Terre Haute excepted. As yet lands are cheap and any one with a reasonable amount of energy can in a very short time secure a good farm that will make bim a very pleasant and comfortable home. Taking it altogether I like this country better than I anticipated. Respectfully yours,

CHUNKS OF HOMELY WISDOM. The reason so many men blow their own trumpets iz bekause thar ain't nobody else got wind enuf to blow 'em.

Thar ain't 1 man in 50 as has got kommon sense and thar ain't mcr'n the same number in a half abundurd who wouldn't nock you down if you told 'em they hadn't.

Sum men air like a muskeeter. When they attack you, you air hurt more by strilcin' at 'em than you air by thar stings.

It don't cost anybody a cent to sa a kind word but many a feller hez gone home with a bunged 1 for sayin' a cross 1.

The only difference I kin see between sum men and an ass is, that the ass don't get drunk.

It's nice enuf to say onesty is tbe best policy but it's a policy that don't pay much dividend nowerdays.

CLINGING TO HER LOVER. There is a young lady staying in Jollet, whose history is romantic. One evening three years ago, in the southern psrt of the Stste, she was out walking with her lover. They stepped into an oyster house for refreshments, and whilo seated at the table a drunken rough came staggering in, and insulted the lady. Her lover warned him not to do so again under penalty of death. The /ough was drunk enough to repeat his insult, and the lover pulled his revolver and shot him dead. For this tbe lover was arrested,tried, andsentenced to two years in the Jollet penitentiary. Tbe young lady is there, awaiting the time wbenhe will regain his liberty, whloh will be shortly. She has elegant clothing, jewelry, amd plenty of money awaiting his release, and then they both expect to be happy.

A man, who dares to quarrel with an other man for tbe way he does a thing which both profess to want done, has not got in his soul the true desire to do that thing.—Philip Brooks.
