NEWSPAPER men are seldom satisfied with their paper as each issue is given to the public, and readers should remember that it is impossible to have every line pleasing to all, so varied a^$,,t&g tastes of the reading people.

PERHAPS never before was there so bright a prospect for efficient and permanent temperance work. We have had periodical seasons of temperance agitation, but iu no former awakening have the masses of the people been so willing to co-operate with the workers and acknowledge the truths of those preaching reformation.

THE papers of the south sometimes talk right out in meeting."

Treason such as his grows on every bush and tree, aud the little ohlldren are taught to call it patriotism."

A NEW YORK letter says that "Tweed reads a great deal, and exercises every day in the jail yard. His son Richard calls to see him three or four times a week, and his other son also visits him, but not so ofteu as formerly. Mrs. Tweed goes dowu from Connecticut to visit him about twice a month. Some old crony drops in about every evening, and the old man keeps in pretty good spirits." —sBs^saaBHsi

THE wholesale grocers of Cincinnati, at the regular meeting of their association last week, resolved that the present bankrupt law in its practical working to aqjust to creditors, pernicious to business integrity, and disastrous to honorable integrityand they reeommended to Congress that it be unconditionally repealed. The first proposition submitted was that it be radically amended but this was no acceptable, «»d repeal was substituted,

WE give tbls week In the "Husks and Nubbins" department, the second and concluding installment of the article on Nathaniel Hawthorne. The writer has spent a good deal of time, in the way of hunting up the materials, and has given us an interesting and compact sketch of the novelist's life.

DISTANCE is said to lend enchantment to the view, and so slso distance tenia to blunt the horror of the diatreesing news coming from Chins. In the famine stricken provinces of the north nine millions of people are said to be destitute. A£dispatch from Shanghai reports the destruction by fire of an asylum for women and children at TienrTsin, two thoussnd lives being loet In the flames.

THE Pope of Rome is dead. "Guard the church I loved so well and sacredly," were the fitting words with which Pius IX passed from this earth, at Rome, Thursday evening at five o'clock, in the elgbty-sixth year of his age, having been at the bead or the Roman Catholio Church since 1846, the acknowledged Priest and King.of near 200,000,000 souls. His hss been an eventful life, bnt after many troubles, disasters and triumphs, he goes to his grave in peace.

ONE of the Worklngmen'a members of the Kentucky legislature, elected from Louisville, bas introduced a bill providing that all corporations in that state shall have a fixed day in every month for paying their employes that a failure to pay on that day shall be regarded as an act of insolvency, and, on application, the chancery court shall at once appoint a receiver to take charge of the corporatioc and wind it up. If the judge refuses to carry the law into effect within thirty daya his office is to become vscant, his salary stopped, and his successor to be appointed by the governor.

WE see sn item in our exchanges in regard to anew method of collecting taxes upon drinks. It is said to be in operation in Mississippi. Whether this is true or not, it is fsr better than the Moffatt or Clark register. Books of coupons are sold by the State Auditor to all liquor dealers. When a drink is sold the consumer receives a coupon, which entitles him to recoive from the State, in payment of his tsxes, one cent. If two drinks are to be paid for he receives an orange colored coupon good for two cents. If five drinks, a blue paper good for five cents. It strikes us this is an admirable arrangement, for not only does the State enjoy an income from the tax on drinks, but the consumer has a reasonable cbanoe of paying off his taxes with the orange and blue coupons. The only ol^ection is that some people will go to the saloons to pay their taxes oftener than to the Treasurer's office.

A WONDERFUL book would be the records of the "early settlers" of this country. We refer to those preceding the American Indian, hundreds ot centuries ago, evidences of whose existenoe are constantly coming to light. The St. Louts Republican tells of an Interesting relic dug up near*Chester, Illinois, the other day. It was an image, 16 Inches high, 32 Inches around the waist, and weighing 41 pounds. It is in a sitting posture, with the right leg drawn up and the right band resting on the knee. There is nothing remarkable in this but there are carvings on the idol which attract attention. On its bresst is the figure of sn elephat, which shows either that the makers knew something about the Asiatic elephsnt, or that the elephant existed iu this country synchronously with the raoe that carved these images. Around the head, too, is an inscription, which, if itoould be deciphered, would probably tell an interesting story. The writing is said to resemble the Egyptian hieroglypblcs^^^^^^

The New York Sun tells us that people whose lives are made bitter now and again by the fear of what might happen ahonld a comet hit the earth, may get some comfort from Prof. Newoomb's recent assurances on this subject. There is no denying that if the nucleus of a comet is, as Pierce supposes, a solid body, of metalliodensity, many miles in diameter, the local effects of. its plunging into the earth would be serious but Prof. Newcomb show* that the chances of this catastrophe are so minute that, as he phrases it, hardly a possible form of death is not a thousand times more probable than this. So small, he says, Is the earth, compared with the celestial spaces, that if one should shut his eyes and fire a gun at random in the air, the chance of bringing down a bird would be better than that of a comet of any kind atriklng the earth. An illustration so vivid and ao intelligible, from a source so eminent, ought to satisfy even the most timorous, although we do not doubt that neither authority nor logic will much avail with some firmly despondent people, who are convinced that, however extraordinary, it would be just their luck to be hit by a comet.

•N:: REGULARITY. Very few persons understand bow greatly health and happiness in this world depend upon the regularity of daily habits—the constant recurrence of those events which we are apt to refer to aa tiresome and monotonous. During the earlier and later periods of lift this "even tenor" is essential to oar wellbeing and though we may feel like kicking the traces when at the zenith of power and activity, and sometimes fly of at tangentx, or get rid of oar superfluous energise in odd and eccentric ways, yet we usually eeme back, or at least try to come back, to our moorings, and gladly accept the treadmill path of dally duty, which, it it brings noecstatio pleasure, leaves no remorse. lb infancy, abeolute regularity in

But there must be no cessation in tbe routine there must be no careless use sometimes of warm, sometimes of cold water, or, again, the omission of tbe bsth altogether. The food must be prepared »in the same way, with the same nicety of proportion, or evil results will, M* they do, most surely fllow. O.ily faithful Intelligence can work itself out by suoh exact processes, though we all enjoy more than we think being subjected to tbem.

Every one can understand how disagreeable it would be not to be able to make sure of one's dinner to be deprived orbed and slteep to lose tbe enjoyment of abundance of good water, a dally bath, and a daily paper but upon the recurrence of bow many more and much smaller minutiae do we depend for our daily comfort We like certain kinds of bread at every meal, we want meat always cooked in certain favorite ways, and we expect to find it so as naturally as we expect tbe sun to shine. Jff get used to seeing certain things in certain places, and we would not miss them on any account. A tree, a bosh, a picture, or a chair which occuipes tbe same plaoe for years scquires a value to our consciousness which only the habit of seeing it can give it. Tbe world seems very large in growth and full of many and varied interests, but it contracts as we grow older, and the objects of value to us narrow themselves down to those which we know to be real, and which form our lives. Naturally, as these grow fewer in number they grow dearer and the more we dislike to miss tbem from sight and sense. No lives are so happy as those that'are so well ordered thst there is little to resign, and to which therefore, every year bringa added interest and added enjoyment in the regular, discharge of individual and social duty.

SAS KEY'S INSTANT RELIEF.

THE POPULAR EVANGELIST'S FORME PUBLIO APPEARANCES.

A Tour of the Country in a Gaudy Wagon, Singing Songs, and Exhortina the People to Buy a Bottled Cure for their

Physical Aches. Mr. Ira D. Sankey, the companion of Mr. Moody in revivalism, haa become famous in Great Britain and the United Statea as a singer of religious songs. Some of the pieces he bas populsrized are hia own, but mainly they are the compoeitiona of Mr. BIISJ, who was killed In the Ashtabula disaster. Mr. Sankey has a strong, melodious voice, and a fair musical training but his effectiveness as a revival singer chiefly lies in the distinctiveness of his enunciation, and the fervor he puts into his expression. His singing of "Tbe Ninety and Nine," "Hold the Fort," and "Pull for the Shore" appeals to tbe hearta of tbe hearers quite aa tellingly as do the exhortatians of Mr. Moody. It is well knojrn that Mr. Moody was a Chicago dealer in boots and shoes before be became an evangelist. His history has often been told by himself and others. As to Mr. Sankey's previous occupation, nothing has been generally known.

Now, however, tbe Troy Budget makes tbe revelation that a few years sgo he was peddling a liniment which he called "Instant Relief." He traveled with a showy wsgon, and sang songs to bis own aocompaniment on a melodeon, thus attracting multitudes, to whom he sold bis preparation. The wagon bid a broad, high box, was gaudily oolored with red and gold, and was drawn by aix plumed horses.' Soon after nightfall the apirited team would dash into tbe most frequented square or a city or village, drawing the vehicle to a favorable spot for the accommodation of alargeaudieaoe. Flaring torches were then lighted and placed in oonvenient sockets. A melodeon in the wagon was opened, aqd Mr. Sankey (tbe Budget ssys it wss certainly he, and the statement accords with the writer's vivid recollection of tbeman)teok his place behind the instrument. He sang several current songs, usually sentimental, bnt some times coraicjplayingan accompaniment. By that time a dense throng hsd collect ed, snd qperybody wondered what wss meant by tbe free entertainment. They found out immediately, for Mr. Sankey, standing at the tailboard of tbe wagon, delivered a harangue on the wonderful "Inetant Relief" that be bad to s«lL Three assistants took bottles of the staff from boxes and made ready to sell. Mr. Sankey's addrese Is recollected as having in in iu delivery, the atyleor a religious exhortation of the fervid kind. He spoke of the ills which flsah la heir to. and especially of tbe varioua achea with which the human body la afflicted. Then with a bottle of "Instant Relief held aloft, he declared that he brought glad tidingaof a sure and Instant eare. He did not, be said, aak anybody to take hia word for it: bat he would on the spot relieve anybody who bad earache, toothache, headacbea or bellyache. In abort, no pain could withstand "Instant Relief." fee kept urging the afflicted to oosoetothe wsgon, much In tbe manner that revivalists beseech sinners to come to tbe penitential bench, until he waa socoessfal in gsttinga patient on whom to try the liquid. "Instant Relief" waa of tbe femillar class of lotiona. with laudanum for a principal ingredient, that rarely fail to deaden pain immediately on bring applied. Therefore, having ••cured somebody with an ache or a pain, Mr. Sankey was able to convince his bearers ihfi "Instant Relief** was something that they could not afford to do without.

ued hia harangue, aa sopped the aching apota with tbe lotion, while his assistant* banded out bottlee, and took in fifly cent sbinplssters. Whenever the salea lagged, and the people began to disperse* he sat dowu at the melodeon and Bang several songs.

Mr. Sankey went through the country with hia novel establishment, and at times was reinforced by other singers. When be was in the Hudson River and western Massachusetts cities, a young womsn sang duetts with him snd the party included a comic singer. The upshot of this business is not known, but it certainly bad tbe appearance of proeperity. Not long afterward Mr. Sankey sang in a Chicago revival in conjunction with Mr. Moody's work, ana subsequently they went to Great Britain together, where they made their first great suoueits.

Shows and Show Folks

Never before in tbe history of amusements has there been so lsrge au audience assembled in the Opera House— hat is, where an admission fee was charged—as that last Saturday evening, drawn together to see the Buffalo Bill combination in the play of "May Cody." Every seat was taken and every inch of available standing space from orche&tra to top gallery occupied. The play is an improvement on those which Mr. Cody and his party bare formerly given us, and while there is room for still greater perfection, it seemed to give general satisfaction. The fancy shooting done by Buffalo Bill was indeed wonderful, and required nerve on tbe part of both the marksman and the target holder. Tbe patty stayed at the Terre Haute House ever Sunday, and many persons bad the pleasure of making Mr. Cody's scqusintance. His intelligence, courtesy and education are in striking contrast with the wild life he has led. Six feet tall, straight as an arrow, seemingly all muscle, with not a pound of extra flesh, featu.es round, even and de'liCAto, ha'r reaching below his shoulders, dsrk, piercing eyes, and face usually lighted with a smile, he Is a man that will attract attention wherever he goes. The present season is the last one in which he will play ^previous to his departure for Europe. His last playing in America will be in Niblo's Garden, on tbe evening of tbe 30th of May. He will pass the summer, as usual, on the Western plains looking after his large cattle interests, and will leave the United States, with his troupe, in time to open his route in Europe, in Drury Lane, London, on the evening of September 3d. He will give John Bull a etartling picture of Western frontier life.

Next week we are to have two entertainments ot a high order and worthy oi the most liberal patronage from our peor pie. The first of these, on Wednesday evening, is Pat. S. Gilmore's famoua band and ooncert organization,' of New York, composed of fifty fine musicians, now on their farewell tour, previous to their departure for Europe. An adver tlsement in another column givea .the leading features Says tbe Chicago Tribune: v* "Tbe prominent events of tnepiwt week b«te been tbe Gllmore concerts, wbioh have attracted large audiences and proved very successful, and the an nual concert of the Chicago Musical Col lege, which is always an interesting event, and never more so than on tbe present occasion. The Gilmore conoerts have already been noticed in detail, and we only need say now that the band bas never played better^ indeed, never no well. Mr. Gilmore has evidently worked bard with it, as it shows by its steadi nesa and precision, its brilliancy in col oring, aud ita sharpness of attack. It was never befere so well equipped with soloists and never has given such pro-

fore. It la a revelation of the softer aide of border life rather than o£its rode and rueful aspecta of its poetry rather than ot its poverty and ita cruelty, its variegated vices and Ita blood curdling vicia situdes. The backwooda hero is not a border bully, but a brave, blunt, quiet mannered, honest man, utterly unpreteotioua of anything more than manhood. The character is therefore unconventional and novel, and Mr. Mayooertainly makea tbe most of it. His makeup is original and becoming, without being in the least flssby or outlandish, and hia voice ia sott and subdued and full of smothered sentiment. His gait, like his reading, ia easy snd natural, without either stilting or strutting, and your aympathies are from the fir*t enlisted on the side of the man who has everything but the accidents and incidentaof fortune to recommend him.

The Chicago Saturday Evening Herald says Miss Clara Louise Kellogg has bad the misfortune to render herself obnoxious to the press, and a portion, at least, of the public. S ng sbe ever ao well her ill temper and unpleasant selfassertion is always remembered to her discredit. It is whispered that her maternal anoeator, a veritable tiger among duennas, is responsible for much of the unpleasantness wbioh has been kicked up on account of the melodious Clara. Petbapa both Mamma Kellogg and Clara Louise are responsible for the general feeling of ill will that exists, and we therefore take the liberty to suggest to them that a little more sugar just at present would yield remunera tive returns in the near future. We grieve to mention the fact, but Clara is verging on—well, sbe isn't so young aa she once waa, and can not afford to snub everybody in a reckless manner.

Theatre parties are the rage in New York. Whole "blocks of seats are taken for a certain number of persons acquainted with each other, and they make themselves quite at home. Complaints are sometimes made that they make themselves tco much st home, and anny the audience by their freedom.

THE SPIRITS AT PENCE'S. What a Baptist Preacher Has Seen.

EDITOR MAIL: We ask a plaoe in your paper for the following letter from the Rev. Lewia Loveless, a pastor of one of the Baptist ohurches of Knox county, Ind., to the Vincennes Times. Tbe Rev. Loveless was tbe Republican candidate for Congress in that district against J. R. Cobb, tbe present iucumbent, and reduced the former majority of the party oyer three thousand votes. This report of the Rev. Loveloss may furnish anoth er nut for T. T. to* crack, and if he sueoeeds as well in misrepresenting as heretofore, he will soon be able to retire on bis laurels as an expert in that line.

grammes. It waa to be expected that o'clock p. m., Mrs. Stewart passed into the band would play many light and the cabinet. Presently a voice issued popular numbera, as it would be mani featly impossible to confine a military band to music written for orchestra, and

with programmes that contain tbe over turee to "Der Freiachuetz" and "Tannhauser," tbe fifth Symphony of Beethoven, tbe Seoond Rhapsody of Liszt, the

Danse Macabre" of Saint-Saens, the overtures to tbe "Stabat Mater" and to "William Tell." Compare suoh programmes with those Mr. Gilmore gave us a dozen years sgo and see how immensely be bas advanced. His band bas never been in finer sondition. With suoh ptsyers aud with tbe repertoire be now oommauda, bia Parisian visit is removed from tbe possibilities of experiment. A boat of friends and^admirera will wish the plucky bandmaster suoin hia invaaion of Gaal.

On Thursdsy evening, Frank Ma^ro returns with bis besutiful drama of Davy Crockett," a pretty ideal picture of western life—a drama that ranks more nearly as a poem than any plsy now upon tbe atage. Our best people, snd our church going folks bave it In their power to elevate and refine tb« stage, by giving their patronage and lending their presence to meritorious dramatic and operatic performances, and we sre glsd to see a growing appreciation of this fact. Even our ministers are often seen st the best dramatic entertainmenta, and at the recent Hess Opera there were four ministers occupying seats. Frank Mayo's "Davy Crockett" la full of tender snd honest impulses, a touching story of pure and devoted love, all through which is woven a thread of sentiment thst appeals to the best emotions. Tbe Chicsgo Tribune says:

Mr. Mayo and bis ooinpany produced Davy Crockett" at tbe Academy of Music on Monday evening last, and played It to more than average houses throughout the week. It Is not Mr. Mayo's firak but it is probably bis most sooMssful engsgement in this city. The pisy. which he hss made a specialty. Is a modern comedy of considerable merit, nmmm apart, in the hands of an artist like Mr. Mayo. We say the name apart, tor tbe name Is a delusion. It suggest* scalping seances, Mexican massacres, thundsr, lightning, lynehlnE, lassoing, and a general larrapingof the enemlea Texan liberty and independence. In feet

In compliance with my promise, I send you what I saw at Pence'a Hall, Terre Haute, Ind.

On Tuesday evening, January 1st, I my first sesnce. I examined the cabinet, and found it contained nothing whatever except a little hand bell, and I can further aay it had no trap doors of any kind. I bave only time at present to give the first sitting I bad with Mrs. Stewart at Dr. Pence's Hall. I may some day give tbe result ot my investigations to tbe public. About 7

Yes," Mr. Hook replied, "snd I expect «oa to oome out aoq Mt th©cn.M All right," ssid "Minnie." Presently a tell Indian squaw came out and walked up to the table and commenced eating the oysters. Whew, wbst dose for a young investigstor of spiritualism. After

He wss recognized by his fstber snd mother. While be wasstsndlng In the door of tbe cabinet he began to dematerialise and seemingly ssnk through tbe floor. The fourth spirit wss Mrs. Lawrence, the wife of Judge Lawrenoe, of Michigan. She was recognized by ber busbsnd, who declared it was bis wife. The fifth, Mr. Hook's father, WHO sppeared, and had been dead for 67 years.

There were two other spirits who appeared. but probably I bave written enough. I attended four other sesnoes which were more wonderful than what I have written. I had ene seance with Laura Morgan, No. Ssopth Second street which wss to sofcie extent more satisfactory than those at Pence's H»ll—tbe spirits materialise in a stronger light.

THEY MET BY CHANCE. [Ind. Journal.]^ if Rev. fienry Ward Beecber and Frank Moulton, tbe "mutual friend," were both at tbe Grand Pacifio Hotel, In ChU cago, on Saturday last, and occupied apartments on the same floor, though in opposite corners of tbe building. On Saturday evening, according to a statement in tbe Chicago Times, Mr. Beecher entered tbe ordinsry first, snd was, of course, tbe observed of every body st tbe tables.
