REMOVED.

THESATURDA YEVENING MAIL I

Has been removed to the east side of Fifth street, in the rooms formerly oc pled by the -Evening Gazette—second floor—where in more comfortable quarters we will be happy at all times to receive calls from our friends and patrons.

THE NEW RE VOL UTION. If we mistake not the temper of the American people, the Potter investiga tion will prove a costly one to the Dem ocratic party before they have done with it. It means revolution, and the American people are not in favor of revolution just now, if ever. It means the further paralyzing of business of every kind, which is now in a con vales cent condition,the casting of uncertainty and gloom over all the land, and the bringing of the nation into reproach before the civilized world. It means all this, and what fair-minded man of any party desires such a state of affairs Disguise it as they may, the leaders in this scheme mean nothing less than to unseat President Hayes and put Tilden in his place. How this is to be accom plished remains %o be seen, but there are more roads than one leading to the desired goal. Of course they deny that they have any such purpose in view, but aetions speak louder than words. They say they do not mean revolution, but what did they say in 1861 They say there was fraud ia the Presidential elec tion, and that they want an investigation but they have shut the door to a fall and impartial investigation. Their acts belie their words. They want to investigate Florida, but are not willing that the investigation shall include Oregon. The whole thing is a shabby, par tisan affair, gotten up for tho purpose of making political capital. It will cost the nation hundreds of thousands of dollars, perhaps, and result in nothing but disturbance and harm. Talk about fraud! Who that knows anything of the last campaign believes that Samuel J. Tilden ia an honest man Who does not know that be poured out his mouey like water for tho purpose of buying his way into the Presidential cbair? Contrast Rutherford B. Hayes with Samuel J. Tilden and say whether the one does not stand bead and shoulders above the other for Integrity and patriotism. If there was fraud in the election (and doubtless there was, for there is always, more or less,) the fraud was notation one side, boliove it. Bo that as it may, tho case was settled by a high and competent tribunal, and the people want it to remain settled forever. Tho business interests of the couutry cannot afford to have the government Mexicanized and tho prostration from which wo are just recovering indefinitely oontlnued. It will be a water haul for the Democracy if they press this business to lis legiti mate conclusion, and they will have cause to regret the day that gave it birth Tho people will not approve these revolutionary attempts of a party to gain power at the expense of the whole country.

FAILURE.

Amid all the dishonesty connected with the advantages tnkeu of the bankrupt law, it must be borne in mind that thoro are many, very many honost failures. It has become too much the custom, when a failure has been announced to assign dishonest motives—thought less remarks—Insignificant in themselves as guats that swarm about your horses' ears on a summer day, but it is just by such slurs as these that many a sensitive nature has been stung to mad ness. Like death, they love "a shining mark," these defamera of good menmen who in all that goes to make true manhood, stand head and shoulders above them—and the more exalted the position of the one at whom they aim, the more dastardly are their thrusts. 8ulclde Is the moat cowardly way in tbe world of getting out of trouble yet if any one to whom of late the discipline of misfortune has follen, should hear all that is said about him, he would surely be tempted to commit the cowardly act, unleWf indeed, he be so happy to as to know tbe secret pavilion wherein he may hide himself from "the strife of tongues" and be at peace.

There are men who, themselves attaining nothing worthy of being called success, count all tbe world a failure, and practically to them, poor souls, It is but bow often do we see men wrest success from failure itself, and turn defeat to victory. "Men call it a failure," •aid a friend the other day in speaking of an enterprise with which he had been connected, "but to me it is ten thousand dollars' worth of experience." A brave way of looking at it, surely, for the venture had left him almost penniless yet ten thousand dollars' worth of experience Is no no mean capital on which to •tut afresh. To such a man there ia no

uch a word of failure—no matter what the world may call it, counting the loss in dollars and cents—for he has that within himself which can defy "the world and the devil." To such a man all things work together for good, and he reaps riches alike from misfortune and prosperity. Yet men call him a rained man, and prophecy that he will never be able to regain bis standing. Wait a year or two and the men who are down now will be np and at their posts again, doing the world's work just as they have done it for years past and they who to-day are snarling at them will come cringing at their feet for favors. So it is well to be carefal how you speak of "the man who has failed."

EATINO AND LAUGHING. Life is a serious business to the average adult, man or woman and eating being an important part of it,though it occupies very little time, no wonder that is a serious buisiness too. No one

can

accuse the average man of eating as

if be liked it. He grumbles if breakfast or dinner is not ready at the precise moment but it is not because he is anxious for it, but only because he wants to be through with it. He sits down with an abstracted expression, he throws a hurried glance over the table, his wife and children take their seats silently, and he helps them to everything in his vicinity without a word, except perhaps the single remark that the steak is as "tough as leather.' Helping and eating with some does not consume ten minutes, and there are men who are barbarians enough to leave the table when they have thus swallowed their portion of food, with no more thought or conception of the higher uses to which the meal time can be put than if they were really the animals whose habits they imitate.

Apart from the question of healthful digestioB, which is retarded and permanently impaired by this daily abuse of the delicate organs of the stomach, it is wicked to throw away the abundant opportunities which family meal times afford for enjoyment, relaxation, and an interchange of thought and Ideas which is as instructive as it is entertaining,and forms a home education for the children whi«h tbey highly appreciate in after life. Laughing is good for digestion, and jokes which have hardly body enough for after dinner or evening telling go down with the dinner finely and give it additional flavor.

Some people would willingly make themselves agreeable if they knew how. They cannot think of anything to say, not because they do not think or do not know anything, but because they have not been accustomed to express their thoughts. One way to break the ICO which seems to have formed round tbe domestic life of so many families is for each member to tell what he or she has been doing in the interval since they met. This of itself will suggest questions, funny and otherwise, for discussion but it must be borne in mind that tbe object is additional pleasure, and not the furnishing of subjects for controversy or faultfinding."1 iiW-rft

AN IRISH LANDLORD. A correspondent of the New York Tribune lets a ray of sunlight upon tbe character of the Earl of Leitrim, the Irish landlord who wag murdered some weeks ago by his tenants while riding with two of his servants. The correspondent gives several illustrations of tbe Earl's treatment of his tenants which if true are enough to convince most men that the Earl bad lived quite long enough and could well be spared by his tenantry. He says that one man (naming him) was encouraged to build a fine house at tbo cost of several hundred pounds and to improve lots which he held from the estate and as soon as he had done this he was evicted without compensation on some frivolous pretext. Other cases of a similar nature are noted. Tbe people of Milford were encouraged to improve their holdings by drainage and better buildings and tbeir rents were then raised by adding tho full yearly value of the Improvements mado by tbemselves. A widow woman was ejected when her crop was In the ground with the understanding that she would be allowed to reap it, but afterwards the Earl took the crop for his own. A widowed mother was ejected because she refused to send her young daughter to the Earl's house which was presided over by a woman of the worst character, the dishonorable purposes of the Earl being known over the whole country. When he was killed he had one hundred tenants under notice of eviction, and had already swept out five townships of tenants at one blow. About time for his own eviction to take place, we should say.

IK a paper on education in the South Dexter Hawkins, of New York, produces some startling figures. He says that in the States of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois, the illiterate ruralsh thirty times their proportionate share of paupers and ten times their proportionate share of criminals, while in America generally, the illiterate class supplies fifty times its proportionate percentage of criminals. He shows that by education it is possible to reduce crime ninety, and pauperism ninety-six per «ent in this country, as in the Grand Duchy of Baden, in seven years, by universal education the number of criminals was reduced fifty-one and tbe number of paupers twenty-five per cent. Mr. Hawkins justly considers the educational question to be of more import* ance than aomo others over whieh a great deal of fuss Is made.

THB number of visitors to Cincinnati during tbe four festival days last week Is estimated at 60,000.

THE advice of an editor to a young man who had written him three letters, wanting to know "what he bad better do," that if he was able to earn food and raiment where he was, these hard times, to learn to be therewith content and thankful, is tbe sort of advice that will do to repeat to the grumblers and discontented evervwhere.

THE Virginia Enterprise says that $10,000,000 in gold has been sent to foreign countries in tbe last four months because tbe owners were afraid to invest it on aecount of the communistic uprising of the workingmen under Dennis Kearney.

THE Baptist ministers of New York have informally decided that women may preach if they have the necessary gifts, grace and other accomplishments. But why canrt tbe same restrictions be put upon men. 14s =V

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

Again the press all over the country Is sounding a note of warning against the practice of eatine half oooked or wholly raw perk. A number of instances have been reported of late where whole fami lies have died from tbe dreaded trichina People who eat tbe flesh of the hog, ought to be certain that it is thoraugly cooked. There is no safety in any other course, for it is utterly impossible to tell without tbe aid of the microscope,wheth er pork is affected or not. There cer tainly ought to be no exposure to so dangerous a complaint, when it is so easily and effectually avoided.

IT is said that crashed cubeb berries smoked in a pipe, the smoke being emitted through tbe nose, are a sine cure for catarrh. The Peoria Call states that many persons in that city have experienced tbe most satisfactory results from this remedy. After smoking, the patient must not expose himself to the cold air for fifteen minutes. Eating the berries uncrushed is good for sore throat and bronchial complaints. The berries can be procured at any drug store.
