RENTS in New York have dropped again this year. They have fallen off fully OK6 third in five years.

"How the war may beavoided-' comes over the wire from the other side of the big water, in plaee of "how peace pay be secured."

A WRITER in the Providence Journal 'shows from his own experience that a person can make a trip to Paris and return in sixty days for $400 in currency and live in good style.

NOTWITHSTANDING the severe frost which fell last Sunday night it is thought the fruit was not generally injured, and the prospects are yet fair for an uncommonly good crop of all- kinds of fruit. The extreme dryness of the atmosphere is what saved it.

LAST Sunday afternoon at four o'clock, when off Dunrose, a lofty headland on the Isle of Wight, a squall struck the ship Eurydice, and she immediately capsized and sunk, carrying down about three hundred people with her. The ship bad left Bermuda three weeks before and had expected to reach the harbor at Spithead about five o'clock of the day she was lost. These terrible disasters show that the elemont of danger has not yet been eliminated from the navigation of the sea.

DOWN in Kentucky they are still selling negroes. The Hickman Courier describes a sale of the kind: "Mr. James Barksdale was the auctioneer, and as the negro man stood on the block and the voice of the auctioneer rose and fell crying the bids, it revived reminiscences of old and bygone days. The colored people crowded around In anxious expectancy. The negro was one John Cooper, who had been previously tried and convicted as a vagrant, and the verdiot of the Jury was that be should be sold into fservitude for six months as the law provides and directs."

THE next in order of onr domestic conveniences, is the distribution of heat to our city houses by means of pipes laid under the streets, as gas and water fare now. That is just what Mr. Holly, of Lock port, has undertaken to do on a very respectable scale in that town.

From his boiler house he is sending steam through about three miles of underground pipes and warming the largest ball iu Lock port, a large school building, and forty large dwelling bouses. The condensed steam can be turned into hot water for laundry use at the pleasure of the housekeeper. But it Is not merely beat that is distributed tlfrough the pipes. It is power, since be is now furnishing the steam which runs two engines, one of tjoem half a mile from bis boiler house it is safety, since the steam can be made instantly available in putting out fires it is comfort, ainoe householders will be released from the worry and expense of furnaces, and 'the dirt of coal bins.

T. B. RICHARDSON, a prophet of Wisoonsin, has been figuring and demonstratiug the Eastern war in prophecy. It takes a prophet to oonstrue prophecy, and Wisconsin has furnished such an expounder of the riddles of old. He finds that the Russian victory over Turkey was clearly foretold in Daniel and Revelations. The cxar is the sovereign and the way to the battle of Armageddon Is prepared by the Russian victory over the Turk. Commerce comes In as the Icings of the east, and the struggle of Russia and Germany and England are allies, for the commerce of the world is Armageddon. According to the Wisconsin seer tbe battle of Armageddon -will take place about the year lstXX), and its result will be the downfall of despotism and tbe triumph of universal liberty. The complete freedom of tb« human raee will be achieved about the year A. D. 1945. It is a good while tot us to wait yet, but the worW la expected to poll through Its darkness and swing into clear day.

IT ISdoubtful whether Senator Howe's tirade against the President and his ad*lnlnistretl«n, which was delivered In the Senate last Monday, will gain htm any lasting honor. It provoked, as was to have been expected, some Immediate applause, such as a taring school boy wins from his more Umid companions for doing something which the rest wanted to do but were afraid, bnt that sort of applausedont usually last long.

His bitterness against the President would be hard to acoount for oa any other than personal grounds, which are probably the real sou roe of It, since It Is ^openly "tated that the Wlaoousin Sanator was an applicant for the seat now oocupied by General Harlan on the Supreme bench, and pressed his rait at tbe

White House with more vigor than MO* oess. Before Harlan's name was sent in, It la said Mr. howe was all stnljes and sweet words to the President, bat si see £hat time his heart has been filled with

the" bitterness of wormwood and gaul. His pbillipic certainly sounds as if li originated in a personal grlevauoe. If

coarse abase of Secretary Schura, too, was indecent and unjustifiable, and ft eras remarked by the letter's friends that Howe would not have dared to make the attack If Schura could have been present to anawer him. It ia, true that President Hayes is not a popular man bht it Is very questionable whether such attack* as that of Senator Howe will not recoil on the heads of those who make them.

Tus question is beipg discussed whether the rule requiring unanimity in trials by jury ought not to be so far modified as to permit a specified majority of the jury to return a verdict, appears that on tbe continent of Europe and in Scotland and in the States of Texas and Nevada, unanimity is. not required and a bill is now before the Legislature of New York pending for a similar changc. By those in favor of tbe change it is said, why require unan imity on tbe part of juries when we require it nowhere else Even in the courts of last resort a majority of the judges decide the case. How can we expect twelve men selected at random to unanimously agree upon questions of the most doubtful, difficult and complicated nature On the contrary a very strong argument in favor of the present system is that, by requiring unanimity, full and thorough discussion is insured. All phases of the case are presented and considered and by this means a more correct conclusion is reached than would result from a lees thorough discussion. It is one of those questions of which something can-fairly be said on both sides.

THE WAR CLO OD IN EUROPE. The relations between Russia and England continue to be threatening and are daily growing more so. It is barely possible that war between the two powers may yet be averted, butjthe indications are exceedingly unfavorable. England has made demands in reference to the proposed Congress to consider tbe treaty with Turkey to which Russia will not listen, and it is now believed that the Congress will not meet at all. England continues her preparations for war arid the public sentiment of both nations is exceedingly belligerent. England has gune too far to recede, and Russia, flushed with her victory over the Turks, and with the military ardor of her people aroused, is not likely to make many concessions. The prospect of an amicable settlement of the differences between the two countries is not, therefore, very flattering. In the event of such a, contest the indications now are that the Bull and the Bear would have to fight it out alone, as the other powers seem indisposed to side with either. However, the relations of the great powers of Europe are so delicate that it is hardly possible such a war oould be carried on for any considerable period without involving other nations than the two principals^ In

any

event it would be a de

structive and desolating war and every friend of hnmanity will hope that an appeal to the sword may yet be averted.

THB Cincinnati Times tells of a little book printed in England a number of years ago suggesting a whimsical Idea In relation to tbe waves of light and sound. Starting out with the fact that it takes light eight minutes to travel from the sun to the earth, It was dwelt upon'that we see the sun not as it is at this precise moment, but as it was eight minutes ago. Turning this thought around, it followed that a person at the •un would see the earth, not as It was at the instant be was looking at It, but as It was 480 seconds before. So if one went to tbe nearest fixed star, he would see the earth, supposing him to have an all-powerful eye, as it was three years ago. The traveler might continue his trip to far distant stars, and tbe world be locked at at that distance would be that of the world of Adam and Eve. In a word, the history of the world was written in letters of light throughout tbe universe. In a similar way sound was treated, the suggestion being that every word that bad been uttered, every sound that had been made,bad started vlbratlona which, If we could only get at the right plaee, and had an ear sensitive enough to hear them, oould be caught up again.

Of course a more whimsical Idea never floated through the brain of a day dreamer. Now here comes Tom Edison, and with his phonograph, be reduces to the veriest prose what was tbe fancy of a poet. He would be a bold man, who, In the light of the discoveries and contrivances of the last half century, would undertake to predict where tbe next half oentury will find this world. Long before that time, Keely's motor may be aa antiquated as the first locomotive.

BOTTLED TALK.

The probabilities are that, lor tbe next quarter oentury, in no branch of science will the discoveries and inventions be more interesting than that which deals with the phenomena of sound. The wonderful telephone is being supplemented by the still more marvelous speaking phonograph, tbe invention of Mr. Thomas A. Edison, of New Jersey. He is sow engaged in perfecting it. This machine la intended to reoord in tin foil or oopper platea, in visible indentations, the sounds of the human voice, The matrix so marked may be replaoed in the phonograph, and the words spoken will be repeated, with inflections and modulations of lite speaker's tones. Mr. Edison claims that when tbe instrument Is perfected and moved by clockwork It will undoubtedly reproduce every eandttion of the human voice, Including the whole world of expression in speech and aong.

It will write down what it has beard and beep It for future use. His theory is that the phonographic sheets of tin foil, or other plastio material, receiving the impressions of sound, will ultimately be stereotyped er eleotrotyped so as to be multiplied and made durable. In point of fact he has already stereotyped them. Thefo if you wish to converse with a friend at along .distance you will talk into the machine, get a matrix of your speech, and transmit It to him. He will put it into his corresponding instrument, turn the crank, and not only your words but also your exact voice will tell bim what you wish to say.

This seems very marvellous, but it is exactly what Mr. Edison has set out to accomplish. He claims that he can so perfect bis'machine that from phonographs taken during their lifetime, the actual voices of tbe dead may be repro duced at pleasure. In a few years, he confidently predicts, we shall be no more astonished at hearing them than we are to-day by the receipt of graphic despatch from London or iJ.»ns.

It will be possible," declares uue of his friends, himself an accomplished elec trician, in Scri oner's Monthly, "a generation hence, to take a file of phono graphic letters spoken at different ages by the same person, and hear the early prattle, the changing voice, the manly tones, and also the varying manner and moods of the speaker, from childhood up." He also foresees the time when we shall have galleries where phonograph sheets will be preserved like stereoscopic views and books. The utterance* of great speakers and singers may be kept for a thousand years. "In these galler ies," he says, "spoken languages will be preserved from century to century, with all the peculiarities of pronunciation, dialect, or brogue. As we go now to see the stereoptioon, we shall go to public halls to hear these treasures of speech and song brought out and reproduced as loud as, or louder than, when first spoken or sung by the truly greafr ones of earth. Certainly, within a dozen years, some of the great singers will be induced to sing into the ear of the phonograph, and the electrotyped cylinders thence obtained will be put into tbe hand organs of the streets, and we shall hear the actual voice of Christine Nilsson or Miss Cary ground out at every corner."

We hope, if Mr. Edison brings bis phonograph to the perfection at which he aims, he will allow only wise men to talk into it, for it would be an outrage to inflict on our descendants the hearing of much that is said nowadays. If the phonograph shall lead people to be cautious in their speech, since their words may be recorded for all time, it will do a good service, and shut many mouths.

A TOUCHING LETTER. One of tbe most touching, plaintive things that has seen the light lately is a letter written by the widow of Judge Chisholm, who was so brutally murdered in the Kemper county, Mississippi, jail. Mrs. Chisholm now holds a clerkship in tbe Tfeasury Department, from which she went recently to give her testimony in the mock trial of her busband's murderers. It will be remembered, of course, that the fiends were promptly acquitted. Mrs. C. has received a letter from a friend asking her il she did not wish to return to her Mississippi home, tbe iriend adding: "I have not been near It since you left, but I am told that it is beautiful, and the air is fragrant with tbe sweet odor of hyacinths and violets." In her reply, Mrs. Chisholm says: "I have been told you cannot recall an odor. Ah! I smell the roses, the lilies, the violets, honeysuckles, all, all and I see bright forms flitting through tbe beautiful garden, which to me holds so many bright recollections. Is it strange I should be unable to say 'God forgive the demons incarnate who first violated that Eden and then drove me from It'? I almost dare to curse tbem. "Do you remember the pretty story in your Mythology at school of how the goddess pricked her finger with tbe rose's thorn, and the blood getting on the white petals, made tbe white rose red Far deeper than the reddest rose from the blood of the gentlest goddess is the crimson sorrow which overwhelms tbe beautiful and dear remembrances of my once fond, joyous home! Do I want to see it 7 Not now! It is to me gently placed in ita coffin, and buried lovingly away with him who provided its comforts and adornments, and with tke other dear ones who were its brighest ornaments. No. Let the flowers grow above all their graveshome, husband, daughter and son. They will all be resurrected in heaven, and that heaven will be tbe home for us all. "I went to Jackson, Mlsa., In answer to a summons of the Federal Court. Tbe Kuklux were all cleared. What a good thing to have one's crimes wined out so easily, and to so readily be able to begin anew! What need of prieetlv pardon or of maseea hereafter, with all the cowardly Kuklux lawyers of Mississippi, and with tbe witnesses from the mob te perjure their diminutive souls and with tbe judge and district attorney to clear tbem, 'though the heavens foil.' "In March, the Circuit court of Kemper county will taae up a great blotter and wipe out Mr. Gilmer's, Mr. McLellan's, my three darlings'—my husband, •on and daughter's—blood! Wipe out little John Gilmer's orphanage, his poor mother's lonely sorrow I wipe out Clay and Willie's bitter agony I Wipe out my my broken-heart throbs, my loneliness, my want and woe! Wipe out where I found the servants time and again scrubbing here and there! One •aid, 'Don't yon know, murdered Mood will not be scoured up?' Neither will crime oe wiped out by ftdse witnesses, Allan furiea, flalae attorneys, or JUae judges."

Tbe resignation of Rev. Q. jendw son, last Sunday, because be could not conscientiously preach tbe doctrine of endless punishment, causes additional locsl interest In this question of a htll, and as a bit of personal experience by a ^ady of large brains and larger heart, we give tbe following extract from a letter In the New York Tribune by Miss Cath arineE. Beecber:'

In Baxter's "Saint's' Rest," given to me when I was vainly trying to love God, it is written that the torments of sinners will be universal. Tbe liquid fire will prey on every part—the eyes will be tortured with sights of horror, the ears with howls and curses of companions in torment, their smell with fumes of brimstone, and no drop of- water shall cool their tongue, no respite relieve their agonies. President Ed wards, in a work given me to lead me to love God, says the saints In glory will see the sufferings of the damned with' no grief, but rather with rejoicing. They will not bo sorry for them, but will be f-xoited to joyful praise. Dr. Emmons, wuose preaching I beard when sorrowing fer a friend supposed to have died unregenerate, taught that the happiness of "the eject" in heaven will in psrt consist in watching the torments of tbe damned, and among them will be their own children and dearest friends and yet they will sing Hallelujah, praise the Lord. My father's friend, Dr. Gardine» Spring, of New York, said that when an angry God undertakes to punish he will convince the universe that be does not gird himself in vain. It will be glorious when He who hung on Calvary shall cast those who have trodden his blood under their feet into a furnace of fire, where shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. My father's friend, Dr. Nehemiah Adams, of Boston, says it Is to be feared that the forty-two children who mocked Elisha are now in bell. President Ed wards, in his sermon "Sinners in tbe hands of an angry God," says "you cannot stand an instant before an infuriated tiger what then, will you do when God rushes against you in His wrath?" Spurgeon, of England, says "as the day of judgment thou wilt have twin belly thy soul sweating drops ef blood and thy body suffused with agony." Dr. Talmage, of Brooklyn

miseries of bell in a similar The Methodist Christian Ad

vocate represents that this denomination on yearly average, gives only 34 cents for each person to save 700,000,000 brothers and sisters from wading chin deep through tbe torments of eternal death. The biographer of President Edwards says that when preaching on tbe dangers of hell, at times, the whole congregation arose smiting their breasts, weeping and groaning. My father rejected the idea of literal fire and brimstone torments, but I once heard him, in Cincinnati, describe the miseries of the wicked shut up together with all their horrid pas sions, and I should have been affected as were tbe bearers of President Edwards, had I not escaped by leaving tbe church, as did my sister, Mrs. Stout e.

Most of our preachefs very judiciously dodge this question, and we hear little of it in their sermons, but to show that tbe doctrine of a materialistic hell Is still taught, we present the following passages from a book written by Rev. J. S. Ft/rnis, and published in England a few years ago by ecclesiastical authority or he in on of he

We know how far it is to tbe middle of the earth It is just 4,000 miles So If hell Is In the middle of the eartb it is 4,000 miles to the horrible prison of bell. Down in this place Is a terrible noise. Listen to tbe tremendous, the horrible uproar of millions and millions of tormented creatures, mad with the fury of bell! Oh! the screams of fear, the groans of horror, the yells of rage, the cries of pain, the shouts of agony, 'e shrieks of despair, from millions on millions! There you bear them roaring like lions, hissing like serpents, bowling like dogs, ana walling like dragons. Ther£ you near the gnashing of teeth and tbe fearful blasphemies of tbe devils. Above all you near the roar of the thunders of God's anger, which' shakes hell to its foundations. But there is another sound. There Is in bell a sound like that of many waters. It is as if all tbe rivers and oceans of tbe world were pouring themselves with a great splash down on the floors of hell. Is it then really the sound of waters? It is. Are the rivers and the oceans of tbe earth pouring themselves into hell? No. What is it, then? It is the sound of oceans of tears running down from mil lions of eyes. They cry forever and ever. Tbey cry because the sulphurous smoke torments their eyes. They cry because tbey are in darkness. They cry because tbey have lost tbe beautiful beaven. They cry because tbd sharp fire burns tbem. The roofle red hot tbe walla are red hot the floor is like a thick sheet of red hot iron. See, on tbe middle of that red hot iron floor stands a girl. She looks about sixteen years of age. Sbehas neither shoes nor stocking* on her feet. Tbe door of this room has never been opened siuce she first set her foot on tbls red

shot

door. Now sbe sees

the door opening. Sbe rnsbes forward. Sbe has gone down upon ber knees on the red hot floor. Listen, she speaks. Sbe aays: "I have been standing with my bare feet on this red hot floor for years. Day and night my only standing place has oeeu this red hot floor. Sleep never came on me for a moment that 1 might forget this horrible burning floor. Look at my burnt and bleeding feet. Let me go off this burning floor for one mo ment—only for a short moment. Ob! that in tbla endless- eternity ef years 1 might forget the pain only for one single moment.'™ The devil answers her question. "Do you ask for a moment—for one moment to forget your pain? No, not for one single moment during the never-ending eternity of years shall you ever leave this red hot floor."

Tonlifiou REMEDY. OH

A CARD FROM W. R. MERCER. Some persons, who make wire pulling profession, have been, circulating a false report, no daubt expecting to create a prejudice In tbe minds of those that do not know tbe tacts, that I had employed

Kentucky niggers'' to build tbe sewer, and that Terre Haute laborers were not patronised. Now for the facta. I employed two Louisville colored men to do tbe bracing, but not until after I bad failed to secure tbe services of Geo. W. Struble, of Liberty, Indiana, whom I would rather risk in a place where so many lives were at stake than any person I know. However, Cornish and Butcher (the colored men) were well recommended, and employed to do tbe bracing and keep the banks safe, which all hands know was not an easy task. Tbey proved to be good, faithful men, and behaved themselves well. I also employed other colored laborers from the city and vicinity. I have all my Saturday evening pay rolls, and in looking over them loan recall more than one hundred familiar names that belong to men with as white skins and honest purposes as the average one horse lawyer with ro many professions. (No allusion to respectable and able members of tbe Terre Haute bar. I esteem the man that masters any one legitimate profession.) Now, from all that number of American Irish and German laborers who stayed with me through the long selge from May to November, will one say that he is not satisfied with tbe manner in which I treated my men? Every one

will say that they got from me kind words, prompt and liberal pay and plenty Of hard work, and I have no doubt they would like to be assured of another just such a season's work and right here let me say to you, laboring men, that if you will come square to the scratch for me this time, we will wear out thio nasty little prejudice some of them are trying to work up, for there is no good in it for any of you. I will promise all of you that I will never keep men idle for purely political purposes, 49 is being done at this particular time. In speaking of patronage and to whom tbe money was paid that I got from the city to build the sewer, by referring to sewer sccount, I find charged 2,200,000 brick, at $6.50 per 1,000, f14,300. Is thib tbe product of Terre Haute labor, or are some of those visionary electioneering gentlemen vain enough to think that their man could make a speech to a pile of mud and make brick of it? Next is hardware stores, for implements to work with, a trifle over $450, Then oomes tbe Water Works company, each brick requires at least one pint of water. Ecgineer Strout being au excellent gentleman of steady temperate habits required nothing stronger, so I gave all the water .required, $20150. To Mr. Parker's foundry, for castings and repairing the engine $600. Brass foundry, $23.89. Vandalia and E. fc T. H. R. R. companies for freight on cement, (1.000 To draymen for cartage about $60, to coal yards 113.22, for oak lumber near $1,500, to James

Hook, for carpenter work, $125, D. W. Watson, for water pipe and hose $51.15, blacksmith bills, $334.30. Attorney's fees $35 only. The Gas company was patronized 164.70. In grossing Fourth street we broke one of their mains and for a short time used their gas recklessly in perfuming that portion of tbe oity. I also paid a gentleman $75 for carelessly falling into tbe sewer and hurting bis ankle and demoralizing his dignity when every person efee was in bed. He wanted $5,000, but we compromised on $75, to the entire satisfaction of both parties. Hoping that this statement of facts will sel-ve to dissipate any prejudice that might be worked up to my injury in this strife for a place on the county ticket for Auditor, I remain

Yours Truly, W. R. MKROKR.
