Uhlii uHAJU**.

PRESIDENT HA YES1 FIRST TEA R. The first year of President Hayes' administration bas ended and we may ask what the measure of its success has been. That he bas proved himself an honest, upright and courageous man cannot be denied. He bas meant to do the best thing for the country always and bas ialtkfully endeavored to carry out tbe principles and promises upon which be was elected. He promised, if elected, to reform many abuses wblcb existed in the government and to a very oonsidarable extent ho bas done so. He bas largely reduoed expenses, broken up corrupt rings, removed dishonest officers and Improved tbe moral tone .of the civil service. It must be said that his administration has been faithful to the Interests of the people.

And yet, it must be said, too, (Tor It' cannot be denied) that it bas not been a popular administration. The treatment of tbe veto message on tbe silver bill recently demonstrated clearly tbat the President hf*d scarcely a real friend in either bouse of Congress. A correspondent of intelligence, who has always stood up bravely in support of the President, is forced to admit tbat he has alienated nearly all bis political friends and tbat tbe leaders of bis party are not in sympathy with him. Doubtless his efforts in the direction of civil service reform have bad much to do with alienating the influential men of tbe party and his Southern policy bas not borne the fruits of peace and reconciliation tbat its author anticipated but this does not explain it all. There is something back of all this. What is it? It must be tbat President Hayes lacks tbat personal magnetism, tbat ability to win and hold men to him, which characterizes a sue C08sful leader. Lincoln bad bis own way in all important matters but he managed, by bis rare tact, not to drive his friends from him. He wounded them sometimes but he always won them back again. He allowed no permanent estrangements to grow up. He had the diplomacy, not of tbe school*, but of na ture. His sympathy and tact were irre' sistlblo. President Hayes evidently laoks these qualities. He is supremely independent. Ho carries bis point and in doing it seems to say tbat it makes no difference whether be pleases or dis pleases. Tbe good will or ill will of his party frlenda seems to be of small consideration to biro. Thus, while he has been actuated by tbe highest motives of duty, be bas failed to carry even a majority of bis party with him, aud is isolated from it. Whether he will change his poliey henceforth and try to come into sympathy with his party remains for the future to show.

LA K' YER& FEES.

Tbe fees charged by lawyers for their services are frequently a source of perplexity and mystery to those who employ them. Sometimes tbey charge an enormous fee for what seems a small service, and again, in some other matter tbeir charges appear to be disproportionately small compared with the amount of service rendered. (The latter happens much less frequently than tbe former however.) A New 'ork judge recently made some remarks which throw considerable light on the subject. After indicating the wide range which a lawyer's study and practice must take, he says: "To become proficient in the necessary knowledge relating to all these matter* involves years of self denial, close application and devotion, and a study of almost a lifetime. A lawyer's compensation ia not to be measured merely by the time he actually spends in the disoharge of his duties. An advice given in a short interval, but founded upon years of previous acquaintanceship with the question involved, may, in an an important case involving large interests, be worth quite a sum of money. On the other hand, if tbe servioes rendered are of a simple nature, and especially if they involve only performances which are usually or frequently done by clerks, but a small charge should be m*$e for them."

But who is to judge what tbe nature of tbe service Hi? Evidently the attorney himself, tor the client is generally not in a position to know either the quantity or quality of the sertloes rendered. Henoe it ia Important to secure an h+neM lawwer, who will not take advantage of the Iguormocw of his client. It is a good plan, too, for the client to personally observe tbe labors of his attorney in ibis behalf, as he will then be in abetter position to estimate them at their true worth.

THK DBA TH PEN A LTY. The jvuwage by the Senate of the State of Iowa of a bill tor the restoration of capital punishment, and that by a decided majority is indicative of a change in public sentiment on this lm-

portant question. Iowa abolished tbe death penalty in 1872, and alter leas than six yean' experience under the new regime, she is about going baek to the old order of things. With Iowa occupying the old'position, only four 8tates, namely, Maine, Michigan, Rhode Island and Wisconsin, will be left without any law for the infliction of capital punishment on their statute books. In this State and also In Illinois, Minnesota and Louisana tbe death penalty is not inflicted unless the lory unanimously prescribe it. Tbe law of New York is similar.

We doubt if this law is not quite len lent enough. The alarming prevalence of crimes of the blackest character for some time past should admonish us tbat tbe policy of mercy will not do nothing less than justice will answer. And it was Sir Matthew Hale, one of the best and purest judges England ever bad, who, in his rules for the oonduct of a jur'ge, laid down this: "In criminals of blood, if the fact be evident, severity is justice." Crime must be fought, and fought with a relentless hand. The mest hardened viilaina stand in awe of death, though they fear nothing else, The punishment of crime should be certain and it should be severe. Give murderers to understand that tbey can not escape tbe vengance of tbe law and tbey will not be so free with the bowieknife. Society bas the right to protect itself from wicked men and it best not be too sentimental and gingerly about it. When twelve men say that a criminal ought to die, their opinion is worth respecting it is probably about as near right as any that can be reached. It is not a nice thing to hang a man, but if it is a necessary and proper thing to do let it be done. Sympathy for hardened criminals is cheap, but tbe lives of inno-

cent men .and women ^are worth protecting.

THE usefulness of the telephone is being rapidly extended and there is promise of gre»t things .being accomplished in the near future. Tbe Indianapolis Sentinel says it has been tried across tbe Ohio river from Louisville to New Albany, and the experiment was in every way satisfactory. Songs, readings and declamations were repeated from one end of the line to tbe ot^er with perfect clearness and fidelity. The voices of tbe different experimenters were distinct and were Easily recognized. Tbe test in these two'cities was considered very severe, as part of tbe wire was submerged under tbe canal, and turned in short curves many times on tbe route, and the facility with which messages were transmitted is considered another convincing proof of the efficacy of the telephone, even under such circumstances. :... a

FOB the first time since the war the pension roll begins to show, instead of a constant increase, a slight diminution, and if there be no further legislation granting additional pensions there will be a steady decrease henceforward. There was paid for pensions last year $28,122,683. The number of widows and orphans on tbe rolls is 103,381 tbe number of Invalid and disabled soldiers, 128,723. This class, depleted only by death, maintains its numerical strength but tbe remarriage of widows and the arriving at tbe agb of 16 of children will speedily reduce the number of widows and orphans on the rolls. ir" vj

THE New York Sun notes as a singular feature of tbe Whipping Post bill, that has passed the lower House of tbe Kentucky Legislature, tbat sttipes are to be inflicted only for the offence of stealing money, chattels, or goods of less value than ten dollars. This limitation saves from the lash tbe backs of tbe high toned thieves wbo steal by wholesale. It is not plain why the poor wretch wbo snatches a loaf of bread for his starving family should be ignominiously whipped, while tbe bur glar in broadcloth, who robs tbe poor by fraud, is not subject to the same punish raent.

LAFAYETTE, like this city, is in need of anew court house, and it is suggested tbat tbe Moffet bell punch be brought in requisition, levying a tax of half a cent or a cent on each drink of liquor. A court bouse would cost about 1200,000, and they think tbat sum could be realised in twelve months by tbe plan suggested. We hope the Lafayette people will try it, and if successful, the problem for a Vigo county oourt house will be solved.

THE appointment of Hon. Albert G. Porter, of Indianapolis, as First Comptroller of tbe Treasury, will give the heartiest satisfaction to all wbo know tbe man. Tbe position is an important and responsible one and Mr. Porter will fill it with credit to hijaaelf and the country. Only a few months ago his law partner, Mr. Fishback, was sppointed to tbe lacrative position of Clerk of the United State* courts of Indiana.

Ox a recent Saturday 1,875 volumes were taken from the public library of Indianapolis, the largest issue of books tor any one day siuce tbe opening of the library. This fact indicates an increasing interest in and appreciation of an institution which grows in public favor wherever it is established.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL

THE SPIRITS.

4 [Continued /rem First Faff**] were allowed to examine her sleeves and I found tbat tbe sewing with the pink thread had been broken aud that, In a moat bungling manner, ahe had sewed the sleeves together again, with a ooarse white thread. Not a thing had ahe done bnt that would have been a disgrace to the most amateur trickster, with the exemption of freeing herself from the rope, and we discovered how tbat was done tbe day following. Tbat night we went to

MRS. STEWART'S AQAIX

snd found that we and several gentlemen were tbe only persons present and were promised fine manifestation. After the usual general performances a fe male figure appeared dressed in a dark common dress and called for me. went up to the cabinet and recognized Mrs. Stewart as plainly as tiioimu I had seen her in daylight. I have uad a tbor ough education in drawing, and some talent especially in faces, and had im printed her every feature upon my mind, and noticed particularly tbat she had large, ooarse red hands—the hands of a butcher. I was so disgusted with the impudence of the'fraud as she gave me this great, coarse hand all wet and clammy (I saw her put it in her pocket for tbe purpose of wetting it on a wet handkerchief she had there) that I concluded I would lead her to commit herself even more. So I asked her the usual direct question that every one asks at her seances. "Is this my sister?" "Yes," she whispered, bowing her head. It it my sister Mary I said in as imploring atone as I could assume. "Yes," she whispered sgain and stepped further on the platform so that* I saw thather eye brows nearly met over her eyes just as Mrs. Stewart's do. Now I have not nor never had a sister Mary., My only sister being a golden haired child of five years when she died, with a name in no way resembling Mary—so Mrs. Stewart was exposing herself beautifully. I then asked her if my sister Jonnle was with her and she said yes and would appear to me there and at Laura Morgan's, with an aunt Katy tbat I claimed and asked about on tbe spur of the moment. This was very delightful indeed to learn that I was being blessed with new relations never known of before, tbat were coming from tbe skies to greet me. I asked about my suddenly acquired family in such a quavering voice, and played the infatuated fanatic so well that they turned up the light a little more, and Mrs. Stewart, alias bogus Sister Mary, came down and got beside me on a bench, very near the cabinet. Thus I gained my object of a good look at ber make-up, and tbe make-up of tbe figure in tbe obair in.tbe cabinet, supposed to be tbe entranced medium with a bell in ber hand that rang at intervals. I saw all that I wanted to all confirming my observations of the previous night. The figure was made by arranging tbe outside dress (for she wears several) and shawl of the medium over the chair with a white cloth thrown in for tbe face, and I distinctly saw where the bell was tied to the sleeve of the dress which straightened out and then feil limp as some one pulled the string, tbat, this evening, went from tbe bell and sleeve and passed through a hole in the cabinet. My husband asked for Sister Mary's band and she put it in her pocket to wet it and gave it to him, Doctor Pence remarking that the dampness was caused by "imperfect materialization." I

POOR DR. PENCE

should think he would rather acknowledge that he was party to all this miserable swindle than to admit that he is such a fool as to see it day after day and yet be duped by it. Though one can gain some idea of his mental development from the fact that be remarked one evening, when the get up to represent tbe medium did not work well, tbat "tbe magnetism often disarranged the drapery of tbe medium." Wise Dr, Pence! No more detail of tbe investigation is necessary. We stayed two days longer and tbe frauds grew clearer aud clearer, and we saw plainly tbat the spirit George bad long back bair, and tbat not a thing was "done by Mrs. Stewart tbat could not have been done by tbe aid of a wig, a couple of beards and mustaches, and a few simple changes of clothes tbat could be worn under a loose dress with the greatest ease.

At Laura Morgan's they refused all tests. If her father did not tie her she would do nothing. We endured the smells of Laura's cboeen habitation another day to see if there was any connection between her aud Mrs. Stewart. Miss Laura presented me to my new sister Jennie, and introduced me to anew brother Joseph, that I had never beard of before, and tbat night Mrs. 8. produced tbe same brother Joe, without mustache or whiskers, while Laura presented him in both—proving that though they bad exchanged the names of my bogus relatives, they had not united in their ideas as to how they were to be represented. We had collected facts enough in regaid to both of the mediums to fill us with disgust and indignation. The last night, to our surprise, the Doctor offered

TEST coxDrnoJW.

We accepted with alacrity, we wished to give tbem every chance before publishing them, as we had decided to do. We stayed over the next day, on the reluctant promise of a private test •eance, so that wej should not be unjust to them, though we were already convinced that the whole thing was a complete humbug. We prepared oui test conditions and went the next day at 10 a. m. We were met by Dr. Pence, who said the medium had a severe headache snd could not give us a sesnoe

that morning—"conditions were bad,' Ac. We were going in tbe afternoon, bnt I prevailed upon my bnaband to remain and give them every opportunity to refuse our conditions. My husband'a letter and Dr. Penoe's reply, whioh I oopy, explain themselves:

DEAR SIB:—My wife is very anxious to see Mrs. Stewart at a private seance before we leave Terre Haute and bas prevailed upon me to remain over until another train, providing we oan be assured or a sitting this afternoon. Tbe test we wish is this—her hands sbsll be tied with tape in a manner not to pain or inoonvenlence the medium in tbe least, tbe ends of tbe tape to be sealed and the tying to be done by us. She is then to be enveloped in a bag made of mosquito netting, three feet wide by eight feet long, to be furnished by us. This bsg to be tied at tbe top and sealed by us. Cabinet to be examined bv us as usual. These conditions, you will admit, are not severe, while at the same time they will go farther towards convincing nsof the truths of Spiritualism and give us abetter proof of the ability of our friends to materialize and come back to us than any number of sittings under different circumstances. Will you

Kearer,do

lease me tbe favor to answer by as, should it not be convenient to visit the medium this afternoon, we wish to avail ourselves of an early train and continue our journey.

Awaiting your reply, I remain Yours truly, To Dr. Pence, Ponce Hall, Terre Haute.

To the above the messenger soon returned with the following reply: DEAR SIR:—Your demands are not unreasonable, and if conditions were favorable would gladly exceed thereto, We have six or eight strangers in waiting for tbe evening seance, and it would be unjust to absorb the medium's

Sestroyingan

owers in afternoon seance, thereby the evening seance. The tests you propose would not be admissibleat a public seance. Medium's health is not at this time in a condition to give the best results the weather is unfavorable, aud the condition her husband is in has its influence. Taking all the adversities in the account, we have nothing now sufficiently encouraging to justify an invitation to bold over. Yours,

PRAYERS THAT WERE A NS WERED v»' Atlanta Constitution.

THE CHEAPER PLAN.

ij.rl Chicago Pott and Mail. Miss Dickey bas obtained a verdict of f6 000 against John B. Tvtus. of Cincinnati. in her breach of promise suit. A criminal suit is to follow this, and by the time Mr. Tytus is through witb tbe courts he will wish he bad married Miss Dickey, and killed ber tbe next day. It woulabave been cheaper for him in tbe end.

DEFINITION OF A FLIRT. Ind. Journal. In one of tbe letters written by Greenley to bis victim, Mrs. Keraey, and which was produced on trial, be defines a flirt by sucb a terse, forcible simile thai it is worth recording. Said he: "A flirt is like the dipper at tbe fountain— evervone wants to use it, bnt none have any desire to carry it away."

A ootrrt-s of deacons went to call on a church member, and, finding him at bis devotions, stood by the doorway in the attitude of reverence. When the prayer waa finished they complimented their friend on his fervor and earnestness. He replied, however, "Ah, if I had only known tbat yon were listening I would bave shown yon what I can do, but I thought 1 was all alone."—Ex.

PENCE.

So we went away perfectly satisfied that Mrs. Stewart, who has been success fully imposing upon people's credulity for fiv'e*years, was a shrewd but base, coarse swindler, whose tricks we»*e not worthy of an ordinary conjurer. I will add that my address is with tbe editor of The Mail, and if any ore succeeds in getting Mrs. S. to give the slightest manifestations with ber bands tied and sealed and herself enclosed in a mosquUo net bag tbat has been sewn on the machine, I will consider it the greatest favor to be informed.

IS KI&SIHG AN ACT OF PIETYf A writer in the Woman's Journsl takes up the cudgel on behalf of dancing and implicitly of the waltz, on the grouud that as it penetrates the ruder districts of New England the boisterous and vulgar social games of the rural 'settlements' disappear. If there is no dancing there are 'string games,' and whatever these things may be tbey are said to require the kissiug of all tbe women in tbe company each by a large number of men. This rude and indelicate familiarity, the journal says, flourishes'under the very eyes of our revivalists, in the church sociables themselves, where the most innocent square dance would be severely censnred. In a late murder trial in Vermont a certain guilty deacon admitted tbat be first made the acquaintance of his paramour at a church social at his own house. While old and young were playing an old fashioned game, the deacon, as a forfeit, was sentenced to kiss Mrs. Like Francesca de Runina, he lays all his troubles to tbat kiss. Since bis ar rest be bas stated tbat up to this time he bad been true in thought as well as in deed to bis wife. Tbe naivete of this confession seems almost absurd but did ever a sinner, indited for murder, trace all his errors back to tbe demoralizing influence of a single dance? Left to themselves at school festivals,the young people would like to dance. The danc lng being held obfectionable, something else must be introduced, and, on tbe proposition of 'string games,' one may see church members, deacous, and, for aught I know, clergymen themselves, joining in the rudesport. I have known it a serious ground of objection to public schools on tbe partof well-bred parents, that they would not consent to have their young daughters rudely kissed by half the town on such occasion? and I bave seen such prejudices gradually removed by the substitution of dancing.'

Fanning Implements,

An Important Branch of Terre Haute Trade.

The Extensive House of Smith A Townley.

Tbe trade in agricultural implements is one of tbe most important wbich our city has. The manufacture and distribution of such implements has assumed mammoth proportions, indeed throughout the whole country. Each new improvement added to term machinery Increases the demand.

We had tbe pleasure, yesterday, of taking a look through the store and warerooms of Smith A Townley. Their establishment is located on the north side of Msin, between Fint and Second streets. Tbey occupy a double storeroom, having three floors and a basement. Hie first floor is used entirely as a sample and salesroom. Here tbe purchaser can see samples of everything tbe bouse contains, all arranged in most convenient order.

Tbe second floor is used as a storeroom. Plows, cultivators and other implements in great number are stored away here.

The third floor is used partly as a storeroom and partly as a tin shop. In the resr of the main building is a ware room with a capacity for two car loads of machinery. The cellar, which is of the same size as tbe first floor, is used exclusively for storing reapers. As many as one hundred of those mscblnes are frequently on hand. Tbe extent of tbe stock carried bas necessitated the occupation of one of the rooms in the adjoining McGregor block- This room is filled witb plows and cultivators. Tbe firm bandies, exclusively, the Champion Reapers, manufactured at Springfield. A great many are in use in tbe Wabash valley, and their popularity seems to be on the increase. Tbe Malta Cultivator and the Oliver Plow have been recently added to tbeir list of standard implements. Both of these articles are well and favorably known hereabouts. Their stock is all in most perfect order, and it is safe to say that no better assortment of farming implements can be found in the State. Having said so much of the stock of goods, we will now say something of tbe manner in wbich Smith «k Townley conduct their business. The greatest feature is the fact thst tbey do not hand I goods on commission, but buy sll tbeir stook and pay cash for it. They are the only dealers in tbe State that hold strictly to this rule, and it gives them an immense advantage over all competitors. Paying cash, they always get a large disoouut off the commission list prices, and this enables them to sell at figures which commission dealers cannot begin to compete witb. It also gives tbem the pick of the market and enables tbem to obtain the verv best quality of goods. Withsuoh adVantages it is no wonder that their trade is growing. They, this week, sold a large bill of goods to a deal er witbip thirty miles of St. Louis. This is proof tbat they can compete successfully witb tbe largest houses in tbe country. Terre Haute is fortunate in having so enterprising and solid a firm established here. .Jfi
