COMMUNISM.

There are growing indications that the labor riots of last year will be repeated this year and probably on a larger scale. There is no donbt bat that strong organizations of communists exist in all the large cities, and iu some of them they have regular meetings for the purpose of armed drills. Chicago, It is said, has ordered a battery to be prepared for a possible outbreak, while the New York Legislature has appropriated £200,000 to perfect the equipments -of the regiments of National Guards, of whom there are several regiments in that State. At Washington there is an impression that the communists have fixed some time in June for a rising, and that San Francisco is to be the starting place. The coal regions of Pennsylvania are reported to be "alive with communistic lodges," and some vory incendiary speeches, have been made recently, in which such expressions as "blood to the knees," and "labor at the throat of capital," have figured very conspicuously.

We trust there is not cause for such serious alarm as certain newspapers have expressed, and yet there is cause enough for uneasiness In these reports. The duty of all law-abiding citizens is plain, namely, to speak out openly and strongly against these Becret plotters against the public peace. They deserve no sympathy an*l must receive no encouragement in their unlawful proceedings. Let every good citizen denounce them on all occasions and a public sentiment will be created in which the baneful doctrines of communism will wither and die. In this broad, free and fertile land there is opportunity enough for every man who is willing to work, and noisy blatherskites who go about preaching disorder and revolution ought to be tarred and feathered and carried out of the community on a rail. Public sentiment ought to be made so hot that they would not be tolerated.

THE action of Governor Williams iu commuting the sentence of the murderer, Greenley, from death to imprisonment for life, we predioted confidently last week. It was the natural thing to do after granting the condemued man a respite of one week. Viewed from the standpoint of sentiment or feeling, no one will quarrel with the Governor's course, because every citizen of the State would, as a mere matter of personal feeling, rather have Greenley put in the penitentiary than hanged. But looked at from the standpoint of Gov. Williams' duty to society and the State, the question presents another aspect. His action is a virtual abolition of the death penalty. After a jury has found the prisoner guilty, the court has pronounced his sentence and the officers of the law are preparing to carry it into execution, the chief executive power of the Slate steps in and takes the matter out of their hands. On the theory that capital punishment is wrong and ought to be abolished, this exercise of the pardoning power can be justified, but on no other can it be.

IT Is not always safe to set traps.for the purpose of catching thieves. A farmer living near Lynchburg, Va., has had several firkins of butter stolen recently, and in order to find out who the depredators were be poisoned a firkin of butter and placed it in his cellar. In due time the thief came and took the butter, bat instead of eaUng it himself, he sold it to a merchant, and the merchant in torn retailed it out to his customers. As a result four prominent citizens have died from the effects of the poison, and about a dosaa moro are seriously ill, while everybody in the neighborhood who has purchased butter recently is nearly seared to death. 1« is pretty certain that the farmer who poisoned the butter will not trf any more experiment* of that kind.

cfATHX&nni E., the eldest of the Beecher family, died at Elmira, N. Y., last Sunday. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in speaking of the death of his sister, told the romance of her early Ufe. When Miss Beecher was 23 years old, •he was engaged to be married to Professor Fisher, of Yale College. Profs*90t Fisher, on a voyage to Europe was drowned, and, according to Mr. Beecher, tbW death worked a complete revolution in hi* sister's character. She broke away from the faitKof her father, and, adopting liberal view*, gave her whole life for the benefit of others.

THK Republican State Convention is to assemble on the 5th of Jane. There is important work for it to do, and much will depend upon the wisdom of its action. There is no hope, even in the breasts of the most ardent Republicans, that they will be able to carry the State on the general ticket, but by careful and wise management they hope to save the Legislature and thus return Republican to the United States Senate in Senator Morton's place. Gen. Ben Harrison will undoubtedly be made president of the convention, but there seems to be no great pressure of available candidates 'for nomination, owing to the unfavorable prospects. Considerable interest is felt in the question of who shall be made chairman of the State Committee and thus destined to bear the blame of loeing the election. The position is anything but a grateful one

THE Indianapolis Journal of Thursday published a sensational "confession'" of W. B. Walls, of Lebanon, to the ef feet that Judge Palmer had accepted bribe of $1,000, in consideration of which he sustained the motion to nolle the prosecution of Nancy E. Clem. Walls was prosecuting attorney at the time and says he took the $1,000 from Mrs. Clem to' Judge Palmer himself. If Walls' confession is true it certainly presents him in a very bad light, as carrying a bribe to the judge, but the prob abilities are that it is a sensational story as Walls is reported to have been guilty of many questionable actions and stands in bad repute among the bar and the people of Boone county. We hope for the sake of the judicial integrity of the State that the charge is wholly unfound

THE Republicans in Congress are seriously troubled about the revolutionary tactics of the Democratic members. In a recent caucus Gen. Butler expressed the opinion that after the 4th of March next, when the Democrats have control of the Senate, it would be possible for the Democrats of both houses to refute to recognize either President. Hayes or Vice President Wheeler, and to recognize the Democratic President pro tem. of the Senate as the lawful President of the United States. The Republican members of the House are united to oppose the Potter resolutions of investigation and will do all in their power to oppose this revolutionary action ou the part of the Democrats.

CINCINNATI'S great music hall was dedicated to the public, on Tuesday evening last, the opening night of the music festival. There was a great crowd, upwards of four thousand people being seated, while half as many more remained standing in the spacious aisles. The event was a complete success and the accoustic properties of the great ball are all that could be desired. Theodore Thomas, with his magnificent orchestra, supported by the great organ and an immense chorus, rendered the music in splendid style. The successful dedication of this noble hall, with no debt upon it, is an important event in the musical history of this country.

THE Supreme Court of Iowa has recently decided that the discharge of a husband through the bankropt courts does not release the property of his wife from liability for debts contracted by the husband for family expenses. The Iowa court evidently believes that the man who furnishes tfce fodder upon which a man and his family lives, should be paid, if there is enough property In the family to make the debt se-

READERS of the papers who have noticed so many items and sketches in regard to the "Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes Temperance Society," will be surprised to know that the society is a myth, the joke originating with four newspaper rasoals in Washington. All the proceedings—the organization,the expulsion of Mrs. Hayes, and all that, have been concocted and put into print by these four men. v'

TERRE HAUTE S A TTTRDAY -EV ENlNCj MAIL.

BRA UTIES OF BRAZIL, Those who sigh for a lodge in Brazil should read what Mr. Bigg-Withers writes of the beauties of that oountry: "The mosquito makes his home in these wilds. A tiny fly called polvora, from being small and multitudinous as atoms of dost, passes thorough the meshes of the finest net, then penetrates and beard and sticks its venomous proboscis into the skin. The loathsome tick named carapetto, when disturbed on the cones ana twigs by the foot of the passer by, swarms up thfo trouser legs and fastens upon the flesh. It has so firm a bite that if it is plucked off, its bead is left boried deep in the flesh, diffusing a virulent poison of its own. The hairy caterpillar, equally beautiful by day or night, luminously phosphorescent in the dark, and with a covering of brilliant hues, like delicately formed moss, the ends of which branch off into pointed antlers, inflicts with every point of these a very painful sting. There is a lively red ant whose tormenting powers are not to be despised. But one of the worst enemies of mankind, as well as of oattles and hogs, is a big spotted fly, which comes alone silently and pricks the body of its victim. It sucks no blood and instills wo vonom its minute weapon,instantly withdrawn, leaves no soreness or irritation at the time. The man thus slightly punctured does not rub or scratch himself. He little knows that he has received the de posit of an egg which will Boon become a wriggling maggot, half an inch long after one week's growth, but capable of growing to an inch and a quarter in length and half an inch in thickness.

With fine rings of black spikes or bristles around its body, it has a horrid trick of revolving on its own axis, tearing the flesh anew by each of its hourly revolutions. Mules, oxen and wild deer suffer alike from the hideous visitation. Wasps and hornets there are, of course. There is a small, stingless bee. which crowds so thick upon exposed portions of the body as to leave no room lor a mosquito to alight. As the bee only tickles, instead of biting, stinging, or laying an egg, it is welcome but it is impossible to eat without devouring half a dozen or more."

THE rebellion against conventionality in fashionable London takes various forms of attack upon old established rules and customs. Social etiquette is being modified and some innovations in the matter of dress are noted. Fashions go round in circles, returning to the starting point in the cycles of taste. A fashionable lady in London lately made an attempt to widen the circle. She gave a large party at which every ladyt was dressed in the ancient Greek female costume. Eighty ladies appeared robed in the classical Greek style, but the experiment does not appear to have been a success. They nearly all wore clothing under the scanty Greek garb, which gave them a burly appearance, and was not in the spirit of the costume at all. Only a few of the ladies had the courage to dres9 exactly like the Greek maids and matrons of antiquity. The Greek dress was based upon a reverence for the female form, which has no ex istence and could not be understood among the western people. The Greek ladies dressed to show the form, and not to display the dress. This was the spirit of it, and it cannot be turned to any other purpose. When the English drawing room comes to this understanding of the costume, then it Would naturally adopt it, but it is not ready for such radical reforms. The lady who gave the party to protest against. the conventionalities in dress went too far back for her models. The costume is nothing without the forms, and the forms were not there in such abundance as to justify the innovation. cv

THE New York World has been witnessing a new flying machine, which proved better than Darius Green's. The World says:

The experiments to-day were not altogether successful at first, and many went away disappointed, but those who remained at the close were gratified at witnessing a successful operation. The trouble in the early effort was occasioned the fact that the gas cylinder was

Jed early in the day and left standing with the valves loose, so that a portion of the gas escaped, which was not discovered natil the experiments began. A bov was substituted for the tegular operator, and though he managed to get the machine into the air, he could not control It properly. Finally, the cylinder was filled and the gentleman trained to operate the machine made some successful ascents and descents to demonstrate its capacity as a flying machine.

"Shapely silver shoulders," according to a recent erudite musical criticism in the N. Y. Herald, constitutes one of Madame Rose's great qualifications for a grand prima donna. The profundity of this discovery, and the solemn proclamation of its lyric advantages will an doubtedly lead to a general cultivation of "silver shoulders." If the metals can be thus utilized in the composition of leading opera singers, it msy not be long before oopper-tongued tenori, brass cheeked soprani, tin^roofed contralti, golden-mouthed bar!ton!, and cast-iron-throated basal will become sonorously abundant.

ELDER BLACK'S REVIVAL. Newman, (111.) Independent. Rev. W. F. Black concluded a three week's series of sermons at the Christian church, last night. He has taken sixty-four couverts into the ohurch, about fitty or whom be has baptised. These figures are sufficient to attest the wonderful power of his eloquence in more convincing terms than any statement we can make. Nor is this all that be has accomplished. He has exerted a powerful influence over the morals of the entire community, and it will take many years to efface the good work he has done. No man ever held a crowded audience In this village spellbound daring twenty-one successive sermons as he has done. He goes to Chrisman this evening, to lecture on "Socialism," and will return to Newman to-morrow, and bold meetings until Monday, when be will go to Tuscola and deliver a lecture. We commend him to out brethren of the press as being a ple««sut gentleman, devoid of that "cheeky" a«a ranee so often

WHAT EXHA VSTS. lad. Herald.

Spooks, t* pttris naturalibus, are now manufactured at Pence's lactory, in Terre Haute. It has been discovered that the materialization of texile fabrics and jewelry is what exhausts the mediums. A naked spook can be produced with little effort.

TAKING CARE OF WOMEN. Cincinnati Commercial. The Socialists, who are going to take care of the weaker sex so tenderly that they will never let women work lor a living any more, will do better than two-thirds of them do now if they take care of one woman properly.

AN UNPLEASANT WAY OF PUTTING IT. Washington Post.

Suppose the sturdy grangers should follow the example of some other industrial organizations, and resolve that none but members of their order should cultivate the soil. And having thus resolved, suppose they should turn eut in gangs and make things unpleasant for all who failed to comply with their demands.

A MORAL. CONTRADICTION. 3 Edward Egglestlon. One of the most remarkable things iu human nature, however, is this willingness of women to sacrifice a girls life for the chance of saving the morals of a scapegrace man. If a pious mother can only marry her son Beelzebub to some "good, religious girl," the chance °^Ji18 reformation is greatly increased. The girl is neither here nor there when one considers the necessity of saving dear Beelzebub. _______________

TASTES DIFFER. Warwick Advertiser.

An editor of a newspaper has to provide reading matter lor many different tastes. Some wish it, like their to®®'* steaks, well done others rare. Some prefer it well spiced. Tastes differ. Some srticles of substantial food are relished by all but they also require some light food in the form of dessert. Therefore, he caters for all. The feast prepared to please his readers is not always relished by himself.

A TIDAL WAVE., Indianapolis Herald.

Jesse H. Moore, a Methodist preacher of Decatur, Illinois, somewhat startled his congregation on Sunday last by publicly announcing that for twenty years he had been preaching a doctrine he did not believe. A tidal wave of "quickened conscience" seems to be sweeping over the land.

INGENUOUS tOUHQ MAN. Cazenovia Republican. A young man in Cazenovia went oVer to Manlius to a dance. He was an entire stranger to the girls present, and the boys were mean and would not introduce him. He finally plucked up courage, and stepping up to a young lady, requested the pleasure of her company in the next danc^. He looked at him in surprise, and informed him that she had not the pleasure of his acquaintance. "Well," remarked young Cazenovia, "vou don't take any more chances than rdo."

THE PERT NOD.'

New York World.

The London World whispers (very loud) a wotd of protest in the ear of English fashion against anew way that English women of the world are falling into of recognizing a gentleman by giving a pert nod of the head, instead of a slight bow with the head and shoulders. It appears that the Princess of Wales has led the fair subjects of her husband's mother into this slovenly habit without intending so to do, by a little trick she has of thus recognizing intimate friends whom she has seen once or twice before in the day. The practioe, we are sorry to say, is not unknown in New York. It certainly is, as our English namesake says, both "inanish and inelegant" altogether intolerant and not to be endured. Women who fall into it will have themselves alone to thank if it leads to their being nodded at in the same half Impertinent fashion by men. It is not so many- years ag6 that no gentleman would have dreamed of saluting even a male acquaintance in this slaj) dash and careless fashion.

CHURCH MUSIC. ...... 1 Sunday Afternoon.

1 wo objects are to be sought In church music, religious impression and religions expression. It is a crude notion that no music is legitimate in ohurcb except that in which the whole congrega lou may join. The congregation may be benefited by listening as well as by singing. But those who listen find emotions stirring within them which it will do them good te express for themselves and tbeiefore the cougregation ought to have an opportunity to pour its voice In a grand choral song And when the congregation Is called on to sing, the value of the chorus aa a leader Is felt. Tbecongregation will sing with a chorus to lead and led by such a force of stead

selves prominent. The great meetings of the evangelists show us tbe value of both of these methods of praise. The solos of Mr. Saokey are ofUra impressive who will eavil at this method of conveying truth or awakening emotion? Tbe choruses of the great choir are often still more impressive no perron who watches a congregation listening to spirited and triumphant sacred song from a large body of trained singers will doubt tbe vslueof such a service as means of religions impression. And yet for the proper rendering of tbese choruses it is better that portions of them be snng by a single voice, or by two or three or four voices. A phrase or a stanza may often be well delivered in this manner, heightening the effect of tbe music, and fixing attention still more strongly upon tbe words of the song. Then, when the crest congregation, moved by the singing to which it bss listened, and the other services In which it has engaged, is called to "stand up and blew the Lord" in some simple snd familiar bymo.its response is burst of praise in which the angels might well wish to Mm,:

Whatever, therefore, Mr. Moody theories of church rousto n«y be, bto meetings show us the value of solo ringing. of chorus singing and of congregational singing and make plainto ns that we can afford to dispense with neither of these methods of praise In^oar churches.

GOOD ADVICE TO HUSBANDS. A Minneapolis, Minn., woman, who has read a great deal of "advice to wives," thus frees her mind in a local paper: Isn't there a good deal of onesided preaching now-a-days Most of the advice given to married people might as well be whispered in the ears of the wife, for it seems meant for her alone. I would like to see a more evenly balanced state of affairs, and beg leave to give tbe following advice to husbands: Always appear before your wife in neat and becoming attire. Remember, that that was one of the things which made the sum of your attractions in your first acquaintance. How can you expect io keep her love if you employ not the same blandishments with which you won it. Be neat. Never come to the breakfast table with soiled hair, or soiled collar, or necktie all awry. And. if you assist in doing the chores, allow no suggestion of the barnyard to accompany von into tbe presence of your wife. Steal to your room before she has seen you for the morning, there change the chore frock for the dressing gown, which a model wife al ways has on band for her husband, polish your shoes, and make yourself otherwise presentable. The look of fond regard which greets you from behind the fragrant coffee pot will be a sufficient reward. Never wear a clouded or angry countenance in the presence of your wife. No matter how tn

Smith, who has been a faithful nurse to the Senator since he started for The professional poker players are, as a iMA»kA.la1nAbmfl vnln navt. in thA trailing. LUB DOOrCSt Florida in January. Another lady came out from a neighboring chamber and threw alight shawl around her shoulders. She held out ber hand, and grasping the writer's hsnd, pressed it convulsively a minute, then abandoned herself to a fit ef sobbing. Finally she asked:

Have you seen him 7" alluding to the dead down stairs. "Yes." "Tell me," she Inquired, "how did he seem to you "He smiles like a girl." "Ah! that's it," said she "he was like a girl—at least he was as gentle as one. No man knows, no one on earth can know, how sweet and kind and good and noble and tender he was. People, that is, some people, may think that great husband of mine was rough and so he was, may be, to his enemies," said Mrs. Morrissey, with flashing eyes, "but at home, 1 wish they could have seen there. Why, he never lost bis temper. In the house a child could twist him round his finger. Heavenly Father, (wringing her hands) I loved him so!'

Recovering herself after a moment, the poor Udy went on "There was never a night in his life when be did not kiss me before he went to bed no matter how sick be was, it was always tbe same. When we were in Florida there used to be two beds—one big one for him where be could lie In all sorts of ways and try to get a little rest, tbe other a little one for me, which he used to call 'the pony.' Late at night, if I bad gone to sleep before him, be would si ways say to my sister, Just before he went: 'Come, take me in to see the p*tfy,' and then be would lean on her and drag blmself in and sit down on tbe edge of the bed and begin to chaff me in the old way. He bad called me his 'baby' ever since our marriage. He got to pitying me for sitting up so late and for attending so much on bim during bis sickness. He would call me'poor bard knocks,'or 'poor little bard times,' and use all such pet expressions, and ssy and do tvery thing he could to express his sympathy with me, as if he were not the one who needed all the sympathy himstlf," "Did be become discouraged toward tbe last?" "No, it isn't true that he was discouraged. I don't think be gave bim»elf up for lost until Tuesday. Tbe first two nights after he was paralysed, even, he cajie in to see me juntas usual, leaning on my sister's shoulder, to say 'goi'd niabt, baby!'
