DOWN at New Orleans oranges are cheaper than apples are here—forty cents a hundred, or twelve for a nickel.

THB Louisville Courier-Journal, recording another murder, say*: "Let us have a hundred hangings in this State, if necessary, this year. Tbe crime record of 1377 was shameful and disgrace ful to Kentucky."

THE Duke of Edinburgh, who is an officer of tbe British ileet, will be placed in an embarrassing position should England and Russia come to blowe. His wife is a Russian Princess, and he would have to figbt ber people and her country—his fatber-in-law, mother-in law, brothers-in-law and all the cousins.

PERU IS a good country for nervous people, afraid of thunderstorms. At Lima there are people seventy years of age who had never seen but one up to a recent date. There was a great tbun der storm in that region in 1805, but few tbe present generation remembered it. A few weeks ago there was another, which drove the oldest inhabitants wild with astonishment and fear.

DARWIN got some more testimony on his Bide the other day, in New York, in an autopsy on tbe body of a dead chimpanzee in the aquarium. Tbe brain was singularly rich in convolutions and strikingly human in its formation. The organs of Bpeeoli were almost exactly like those of human beings, and in fact tbe cbimpanzeo could Bpeak some words very distinctly and clearly. Its death was caused by disease of the brain and lungs. _________________ K?\ W

THE Silver Bill is the law of the land, and tbe silver dollar is restored to its former position—good for the payment of all debts except where gold is expressly stipulated. President Hayes returned the billon Thursday,unsigned and accompanied by a veto message. The House promptly passed it over bis veto, and tbe Senate immediately afterwards did the same. Public opinion now strongly favors asuspeysipq of the currency agitation.

Six years ago to-day—March 2,1872— the iiret issue of The Mall under the present proprietorship was sentout. Wo are gratified to say tbat tbe paper was never before In a more prosperous condition. All that industry and experience will do is brought to bear to make The Mail better and better with eaob suooeedtng year, and tbe well sustained subscription and advertising patronage —about ail tbat could be desired, certainly all that we oan reasonably expect —is evidence that we are not working in vain, ______________

THKY had a troublesome time getting buried tbe body of Beavers, the man banged at Madison, week before lest. His brother-in-law, fearing the body might be stolen, took It from the vault the night after the hanging, and hid it in his barn, where it was discovered by his hired man, who was so frightened by stumbling over it that he raised an alarm. The body was then taken to New Liberty churchyard, to be buried by his wife, but a mob prevented it. It was then taken to several other cemeteries but was refused admittance, and it found rest at last in an unknown grave five days after tho execution.

THE incineration business, like all other trades, has promise of competition. Julius Klrshner, of New York, who some months ago obtained notoriety by cremating bis child, informs the public that his crematory is far superior to that of Dr. LeMoyne, at Washington, Pa., where the remains of Mrs. Benn Pittman and Baron de Palm were reduced to ashes, lie also says that in his furnace four bodies ean be cremated at one time for the paltry sum of 9230. Mr. Klrshner claims tbat there Is a growing feeling In favor of this method of disposingot the dead, and expects, ere long, to do a thriving bnstness.

ANDERSON, tbe convicted member of the Louisiana Returning Board, and condemned to two years hard labor io the penitentiary, has long figured in Louisiana politics. He was a Senator in tbe Legislature of tbat State for about twenty-eigh: years In unbroken succeedion. He was a Democratic Senator for some sixteen years before the war, and a Confederate Senator for four years during tbe war, and then a Senator with Democratic proclivities for the eight years that followed the war. While War moth was Governor of Louisiana, Anderson waa known as a "Warmoth Democrat," Since that epoch he has called himself a Bepnblissn.

EXPERT TESTIMONY. There is certainly room for serious doubt whether the recent decision of ths Supreme Court of this State, holding that physicians and surgeons cannot be compelled to testify in the courts as experts without extra pay for their services, is a wise decision. Tbe case came down from Fort Wayne. Dr. Buohman being on the stand as witness in a criminal case was asked to give his professional opinion as a medical expert in regard to certain questions raised in the case, and refused to do so without being compensated. The Supreme Court held that he was jastifted in luch refusal.

It is a question apon which something may be said en both sides. On tho side of tbe physician it may be urged that *there is a marked difference between compelling him to testify to a fact which he has witnessed, and forcing him to give merely the results of his peculiar skill and experience, or, in other words, to require him to give professional opinions without being paid for them as such—thus subjecting the profession to unjust burdens. His professional skill and knowledge are his private property and ought not to be taken from him without compensation. It is a peculiar hardship on him to be required to leave bis practice and attend upon a trial, not for the purpose of testifying as to facts within bis knowledge, (for this he ought to do in common with all ether citizens,) but merely to give a professional opinion upon a statement of faots placed before him. And it cannot be denied but there is considerable force in this line of argument. But, on the other hand, and in favor of requiring such testimony, it can be said, in the words of a celebrated writer, that, "the administration of justice, being a source of mutual benefit to all tbe members of the community, each is under obligation to aid in furthering it, as a matter of public duty. As a witness or a juror every competent citizen may be summoned by due process of law to appear and render personal service in court, without right on his part to a special compensation for so doing. His time is, to this extent, claimed by the public as a tax paid by bim to that system of laws which protects his rights as well as thoso of others." And the same argument which justifies the bringing of the piecbanic from his work-shop, tbe merchant from bis store, and the lawyer from bis office, to testify in regard to some matter which he has learned in the exercise of his^calling, justifies the summoning of tbe physician or surgeon for a similar purpose.

The Supreire Court of Alabama, in a recent decision of this same question, (a decision exactly the reverse of that, made by the court of Indiana,) well say that, "The decisions of courts concern the property, reputation, liberty or lives of men, and are carried into execution as tbe judgments of tbe law. Every individual, high or low, is subject to them. It is therefore of vital public interest tbat the tribunals which pronounce these judgments shall have power to coerce the production of any relevant evidence existing within tbe sphere of their jurisdiction, requisite to prevent them from falling into error

Again, will not this rulifeg impose upon poor men, who have not the means to pay tbe liberal fees demanded by physicians for professional opinions, a burden that will prevent them in many cases from enforcing their legal rights in the courts? And if physicians and surgeoua are to be granted these extraordinary privileges, why may not the rule be logically extendad, so as to include all classes of professional experts? Furthermore, will not the tendency of this practice be to cast discredit upon the testimony of medical men, by opening the door to suspicion tbat they are testifying as paid or hired witnesses And, Indeed, may it not offer temptations to weak members of the profession, to testify favorably to those employing them, which it were better to withhold We presume the honorable judges thought of all these things and acted with due deliberation in the matter, and yet many persons will be disposed to question the wisdom of this decision,

IT really looks as if the pendulum of public sentiment in this State had begun to swing tbe other way and the criminal class bad better beware. Beavers was hung at Madison and Gilooley would have shared a similar fate at Kokomo, but for the interposition of Gov. Williams with a reprieve, and on Tuesday last an Indianapolis jury adjudged Greenley guilty of murder in the first degree and that his punishment should be death. As he is a colored man and poor, the verdict of the jury will most likely be carried into effect.

A BILL is preparing in Congress for the punishment of persons who pass notes circulating as currency which may be defaced by printing or writing upon them advertisements or otherwise, and also providing against tbe defacement of coins. The penalty, on conviction, is a fine of $1,000or one year's imprisonment, or both, at the discretion of tbe oourt.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIE:

WI1A TOUR BOYS ARE READING. Prof. Sumner, of Yale oollege, has been exsminiug tbe flashy story pspsrs so widely read by boys, and In Scribners' Monthly for March givei some earnest words of warning to parents, accompanied by specimens of the types described In the stories. Here is one: •Another type of hero wry common in these storitH is the city youth, son ot a rich latbt r, who does not give his son as much pocket mouey as the latter considers suitable. This constitutes stluBinfcsson the father's part, although it tniKht be considered pardonable, seeing tbat these young men drink champagne every day, treat the crowd generally when tbey drink, and play billiards for $100 a game. The father, in this (•lass of stories, is represented as secretly vicious and hypocritically pious. In tbe specimen of this class before us tbe young man Is 'discovered' in the police court as a prisoner, whence he is remanded to the Tombs. He has been arrested for collaring a big ioliueman, to prevent him from overtaking a girl charged with pocket picking. He inter fered because ne judged from tbe pin'* face that she was innocent, ami t. is suggested, for future develop i.i-nt in the story, tbat she was ruumog away from insult, and that the «:ry of 'stop thief, wa9 to get help from the police and others to seize ber. •The hero, who is tbe son of a man worth five millions, and who is in prison under an assumed name, now sends for his father's clerk and demands $1,000 saying that otherwise he will declare bis real nume and disgrace his family. He gets the money. He then sends for a notorious Tombs lawyer, to whom ha gives $500. With this sum bis release is easily procured. He then starts with his cousin to initiate the latter into life in New York. Tbey go to a thieves' college, wiiere they see a young fellow graduated. His part consists in taking things from tbe pockets of a hanging figure, to the garments of which bells are attached, without causing the bells to ring. Or this a full page illustration is given.

I'he two young men then go up the Bowery to a beer saloon, where the hero sustains his character by his vulgar familiarity with the girl waiters. Next, they hear a row in aside street. They find a crowd collected watching a woman who hangs from a third story window, while ber drunken husband beats and cuts her haud9 to make ber fall. The hero solves this situation by drawing his revolver and shooting the man As he and his companion withdraw unobserved, the former wards off the compliments of the latter by saying modestly tbat he could not bear tu stand there and see such a crowd looking on, and not knowing what to do, so he just did the proper thing. Next day tbe hero, meeting tbe thieves' college graduate in tbe corridor of the Fifth Avenue hotel, agrees to receive and bold for bim any booty be may seize in tbe bar room, which he does. At nights he and his friend go to a disreputable masked ball, where tbe hero recognizes bis father in disguise among tbe dancers. Securing a place in tbe same set, during a pause in the dance he snatches the mask from his own face and his father's at the same moment. This edifying incident is enforced by a full paged illustration. A friend suggests the question: What demon of truthfulness makes tbe artist put such brutal and vulgar faces on tbe men? In this class of stories fathers and sons are represented as nat ural euemies, and the true position for the son is that of suspicion and armed peace.'

HOW TO LIVE LONG.

The desire for length of days seems to have been far greater in times past than it is at present. With a view of bestow ing some timely hints upon our active business men, who are pushing on in tbe pursuit of riches reuardless of their physical and mental faculties, the New York Sun publishes a lengthy article from which the following is condensed "Nearly all tbe principal writers on longevity are agreed tbat human beings may, under the most favorable conditions, live to a hundred years,while sev eral have recorded instances of persons reaching a much greater age, but the instances do not in any case satisfactorily bear rigid examination. Hufeland, public lecturer at Jena, who published a work on longevity in the last century, thus describes tbe sort of man who has the best prospect of long life: He has a well proportioned stature without, however, being too tall be is ratber of tbe middle size and somewhat thick-set bis complexion is not too florid—at any rate, too much ruddiness in youth is seldom a si^a of longevity hair ap proaches rather to the fair than to th black bis skin is strong but not rough bis bead is not too big he has larire veins at tbe extremities and nis shoulders are rather round than flat his neck is too long his belly does not project and bis bands are large but net too deeply cleft bis foot is ratber thick than long and bis legs firm and round be baa al*o abroad chest,- a strong voice and the faculty of retaining his breath for a long time without the slightest (difficulty in general there is complete harmony in all bis parts his senses are good but not too delicate his palse is slow and regslar his appetite is good snd his digestion is easy and regular he haa not too much thirst, which Is always a sign of rapid self-consumption his pas sions never become too violent or destructive, for if be gives way to anger be experiences aglow of warmth without overflowing of he gall be likes enjoy ment, particularly calm meditation and agreeable speculations be is an optimist —a friend to nature and domestic felicity be has no thirst after honors or riches and he banishes all thoughts of tbe morrow. '•This power of banishing anxiety has an immense deal to do with longevity. It is, in fact, that 'management of tbe mind* whiob Dr. Johnson so iustly told Bos well was 'a great art,' adding that a man when miserable should not go to to his chamber and try to think his trouble down, but should seek every possible means to divert it Dwelling on misery at once aflteta (and most seriously) the digestive organs. "There are not a few people the very fineness of whose constitutions proves their ruin. Tbey draw so extravagantly upon their powers tbat tbey are dust and awes forty years before tbe creaky wheels who started in tije race with them have done running. In this country we discount our future more beavilv, perhaps, than In any other—not by dissipation but by overtaxing our energies. A very large proportion of men who die rich here die twenty years before they ought if they had properly husbanded their vital resources. Mr. Macy, tbe well known dealer in feucy goods, was, we believe, but fifty-six or fifty-tight and had been slaving bis whole life—in fad, his complete breakup was explained by his intense toil. Such a career seems like getting very little out of life, but a Mill more striking instance of tbe kind was tbat of Mr. Augustus Hemingwsy of Boston, who worked himself into a lunatio asylum,

r-. f'r a fj "j" if..-

whence he came worth $15,000,000 only to get into his grave a few months later. We doubt whether tbe history of the world could show a more reokles? diaregardlof life than is shown by commercial men in tbis country. Tbe science of combining intense api»Ucatiou with those babits which conduce to longevity is one that they have not acquired, but that it may be acquired cannot be doubted. Newton lived to a great age and great lawyers have been famous tor long life. There seems to be a lack of wisdom in commercial men as to the real value of life—they put a wholly inordinate o«tlmate upon the power of getting and spending. "Rest assured tbat there is. In brief, only one gulden rule to be followed hy all wljoseek longevity—moderation in all things, together with management of the mind."

WILL LECTURE! lad. Herald.

Elder Black bas vaulted into tbe lecture neia with some views of "Socialism." It cost the elder $27,000 to de'end himself against tbe malice or envy of tbe man in the sealskin cap, and he lost bags of money in the ooal business. We hope be will make a hit in the lecture business, and arrive at a point where be can, like Beecber, command the public at the paying rate of $2 per bead. ..

INGERSOLL.

Widow Yan Cott, the revivalist, in an interview in tbe Buffalo Sunday News, called Colonel R. G. Ingersoll "a poor barking dog" He retorted by tbe following letter:

BUFFALO, February 24.

MRS. VAN COTT MY DFAR MADAM—Were you constrained by the love of Christ to call a man who never injured you "a poor barking dog"? Did you make this remark as a Christian, or as a lady Did you say those words t? illustrate in some faint degree the refining influence upon women of the religion you preach What would you think of me if I should retort, using your language, changing on)3r the «ex of the last word?

I Lave the honor to .remain yours truly, R. G. INGERSOLL.

A NEGRO ORATOR IN TBE VIRGINIA SENATE. [From the Cincinnati Enquirer.^

Tbe latest sensation in the Senate of Virginia is the speech of Wm. N. Stevens, colored, from Sussex county, delivered in tbe body to day onthedebtques tion. All of bis brother Senators opened their eyes in astonishment, as tbey sat spellbound during tbe delivery, which occupied one hour. Senator Bradley Johnson turned to, Senator John W. Daniel, the foremost Republican in Virginia, and said: "I believe you wrote tbat." Daniel replied: "I never expect to write anything so fine." Johnson then turned to Senator Fulkerson and said: "Fulkerson, you wrote that." Fulkerson replied: "I wish to God I could write so splendid an address." Stevens is a full blooded negro, and is about thirty years of age. He was born a slave but has graduated at two collages —one a colored institution of Rich, mond, and the other of Philadelphia.

STA IE lNNERS.

How Men Dine on Great Occasions at the White House. Washington Correspondence Si. Louis Post.

At State dinners and other ceremonious occasions here there is the strictest observance of the rules of official eti quette as regards the order of preced ence. The Secretary of State and his wife rank next the President and bis wife-when the Vice President is unmar ried. As Vice President Wheeler is a widower, the two ladies of highest r»nk among the guests at tbe dinner table on tbe 29th were the wife of the Secretary of State and the wife of the senior Justice of the United States Supreme Court so thess two ladies sat on either side the President, tbe most honorable positions at table for ladies. Tbe two gentleman of highest rank were the Vice President and Secretary Evarts so tbe former sat on Mrs. Hayes'right and the latter on her left. She went to the table with tbe former.

To avoid confusion a small envelope is banded every gentleman when be enters tbe cloak room before dinner on these occasions. In this are two cards. One nas a diagram of tbe table, with his own name ana that of the lady he will escort to dinner written opposite tbe numbers at tbe seats tbey are to occupy. On tbe other card is the name of the lady be is to escort.

There is always a little excitement about opening these envelopes of tbe same description as the tremor of ex1 station which seizes one on opening a prize package. And well tbere may I for three hours i« tbe usual duration of a White House state dinner and to bo bored for three hours is no joke, and the little envelope contains the eolation of tbe problem each man bas anxiously asked himself on bis way to tbe scene of tbe feast: "Am I to have an agreeable partuer, or not?"

Mrs. Fred. Grant used to be considered, while she lived in tLe White House, tbe choicest prize on these occasions, and the man who found ber name in bis envelope was envied by all the rest.

Gail Hamilton is also invaluable at dinner parties. She tsoueof tbe readiest and brightest talkers in Washington. One of the rare class of talkers who do not monopolize the conversation. She draws others into it enabling tbem to show to as great advantage as herself, tbe subtlest of flattery. Sbe is never didactic, but is always original and falls readily into the light vein which is most aggreeable in society.

THE CABINET.

The jolliest man to meet in oompany is tbe Postmaster General, who always •eetus to be thoroughly enjoying himself. He takes great prMe in speaking of himself as tbe Cabinet curiosity. "When 1 travelled around with the President," he says in gleeful tones, half laughing at himself the wbile, "the peo

{ooklngat

lie took almoftt as much interest in me as at him. It wss just because I need to be a naughty boy.** He takes a humorous delight in regarding himself as tbe repentant sinner, tbe symbol of the conciliatory policy and hla mirth loving face radiates the refulgent gleams of peace. It did not destroy bts self-gratulatory temper when 1 reminded him that he waa not the Ant exConfederate who had been in tbe Cabinet. "Oh, yea," be answered, "but he wss reconstructed I have never been.** "Then,"' I responded, "you have been conciliated. He represented tbe hard doctrine of reconstruction, you tbe gen

tle one

of forgiveness and peace." Io

thu be gave a pleasant assent.

—In the Hymn of Praise, besides toe four-voice parts and tbe piano and organ parts, there will be two violin parts, and one viola part In some places two vioUneello parts, one double base, two flute, two clarinet, two trumpet, tws French born and tbxee trombone parts.
