A FARCE OB A TRAGEDY! The theme of most general interest •till continues to be the revolutionary conduct of the Democrats in Congress. It is not to be denied that their action has had a depressing and unsettling in fluence on the business of the country, while it has .created a feeling of grave uneasiness in the public mind. Men remember the dark days that preceded the late civil war and note with apprehension the drift political events are taking. And that these apprehensions are not wholly without foundation is clearly enough shown by the open letters of Alexander H. Stephens and Postmaster General Key. Both are promi nent Southern Democrats, but not of the fire-eating species, and their words of warning may well be heeded by the Southern people at this juncture. Mr, Stephens, after stating that be considers the title of President Hayes constitutionally settled and unassailable, goes on to say that nothing short of immediate and firm concert of action on the part of the law-abiding people of all parties throughout the Union, in reprobation of these proceedings can arrest the most fearful consequences, and that the aflair will prove in the end a contemptible farce or a horrible tragedy. Mr. Key Is, if anything, even more outspoken'in bis denunciation of the investigation. He says: ""The South mist now face the most momentous crisis in Its hist( ry slnoe 1661. To indorse tbe rooent conduct of their representatives is to admit the truth of the charges that the people of the8onthcar nothing for the welfare of the Union, desire the downfall of the republic,and would re

IE

Jolce to see It again Involved In civil war, if their representatives hAve not reflected

jpresenfatlv

their sentiments, as I believe to be the

case, then »he people cff the Southern States should take care that in tlx Forty-sixth Congress they are represented by men who will defeat the dlRturbers of public peace and prevent the Mexlcanizai Ion of our Institutions."

And ho adds: "No man need hope that tbe schemes of the men who have engineered the movement to unseat President Hayes can be carried out without a bloody civil war."

Words like these coming frouj such men indicate that the country is in the face of a really Berious danger and that the malcontents who are urging on these revolutionary proceedings would better pause before they plunge tbe nation into another civil war. For our own part, we believe the affair will prove a force instead of a tragedy, and a very costly faroe, too, to tbe Democracy. Nothing has happened for along time that has appealed so strongly to the patriotism of the country, and if the agitation continues throughout the summer, it will add thousands of votes to tbe Republicans. It is possible however that tbe Democrats, seeing tbe blunder they have committed, will endeavor to let themselves down as gently as possible and abandon their revolutionary schemes.

REPUBLICAN PROSPEC2\S. Next Wednesday the Republicans will hold their State Convention at Indittuapolis. It will be a large and enthusiastic convention, for notwithstanding the fact that the prospeot for carrying the State has looked rather gloomy, yet the action of the Democratic leaders at Washington during the past few days has been sueh as to increase the chances of success indefinitely, as well as to fire the patriotism of the party as nothing has done since the days of 1861. Gen. Ben Harrison will doubtless be made chairman of the convention, and will open it with a ringing speech, in which the Potter revolutionists will come in for their full share of oastigatlon. If the convention is harmonious, and imitates tbe Vermont Republicans in their brief and pointed platform and indorsing the general course of the administration of President Hayes, the party will present a strong and united front, and will be able to make a vigorous, even if nnsuoceesful campaign, though if the Democrats persist in the foolhardy policy they have entered upon, the State of Indiana may be counted on for a Republican victory almost to a certainty. Very much depends upon the wisdom of the Republicans and the foolishness of the Democrats.

IT ia said the cholera is due in this country this year or next therefore unusual care should be taken to see that one's premises are put in tbe cleanest possible condition. Cellars should be overbsuled, all decaying matter re meved, and all damp boxes and barrels taken out and burned. A solution of ooperas liberally applied to the walls and floor will cleanse and sweeten them. Drains of every kind, and cisterns, ehould also be put into good sanitary condition. These preventive measures apply to typhoid fever and other diseases as well as to cholera.

THEODORE THOMAS received 19*800 for oonductorship of the Cincinnati Wival, and 98,000 to divide among the orchestra.

AT a recent circns performance in Hartford almost all the money taken was silver. The circus company's treasurer had a bill oi $400 to pay a railroad company for transportation and sent the sum in acoal hod. $

SETH GREEN says the probabilities are. that nine ont of ten oooks who prepare fish for the table do not wash them as thoroughly as they should be. It requires persistent washing to divert them of their natural slime.

IN the New York State women's suffrage convention, the other day, two resolutions were adopted, one condemning the laws of the land because a woman in Georgia had been sentenced to death for murder, and the other condemning the Stewart's women's hotel.

THE Chicago Herald says two murderers in the county jail in that city, now under sentence of death, feel confident of escape from the gallows if they can only obtain a little money. This confidence on their part illustrates the prevailing idea of justice in this country, which is that it is a certain something that can be influenced or determined by money.

THE Supreme Court is so far behind with its work that a meeting of tbe leading lawyers of the Slate was held at Indianapolis on Wednesday to consider some practicable method of relief. A committee was appointed to digest the best measures and report at the Novem ber term of the Supreme Court, so as to bring the suhjeot before the next Legis lature.

THE Stewart Hotel lor women is pronounced a failure, and it is announced that it is to be opened to-day for men as well as women, "with a bar for the sale of liquor." It is stated that eighty is the largest number of women at any time have availed themselves of the hotel, and that the number dwindled to fifteen. Every day that passed took about $900 out of the Stewart estate to keep the ho tel running.

A COUPLE of weeks ago we published the story of Mrs. Kate Southern, sentenced to be hanged in Pickens county, Georgia, for killing the woman who was trying to win her husband's affections. The Governor has commuted the death sentence to imprisonment in the peni tentiary for ten years. Her sister, who participated in the attack on Miss Fowler, is serving a two-year's sentence in the same prison. Her husband is on record as saying that he will sba^e his wife's imprisonment, or, in other words, serve as her substitute in all ways that be can.

JUDGE HILTON being interviewed about the failure of the Women's Hotel, replied to the question, "What do yot* propose to do with it?" as follows: "We propose to make it a first class hotol and.run it on the same principle as the Metropolitan. Tbe fact of the matter is," the Judge continued, "it is impossible to make a hotel established exclusively for women pay expenses Women want to associate with tbe other sex, and the restrictions imposed upon them in this house were so severe that many who would have gladly taken ad vantage of its benefits declined for that very reason."

AN elaborate series of measurements of human legs has been made by Dr. J. S. Wight, of Brooklyn. In the proceedings of the Kings County Medical Society, tbe results of the investigation are very folly given. It appears probable that not over one person in three has legs of equal length, and that there are about twice as many left legs as right legs of extra length. Tbe average superiority of one leg over tbe other is about a quarter of an inch. The inquiry arose from a discussion as to the amount that a limb may be expected to shorten after treatment for fracture of the thigh. The conclusion Is that the average inequality of the limbs, after good treatment for such fracture, is sbout threefourths of an inch. It is not clear bow to utilise a moral which Dr. Wight draws from this observation tbat it is better to break the left than the right thigh bat readers who propose to break their legs should take this fact Into con sideration. ________

MBS. ABBA GOOLB WOOLSON, in her Interesting and suggestive book, entitled "Women in American Society," in a chapter upon "Social Discomforts," particularises the following, a sugges tion.which will be recognissd by all women travelers as a very wise one: "At hotels we endure a series of petty discomforts which our masculine friends never encounter. If the latter have reason to mistrust their watches, a lance at the 'office clock* tells thein tbe our if they would write a hasty line, pen unci ink are ready at their elbow. The hotel register spreads Its pages before their inquisitive eyes, and tbe news awaits them in a dosen morning papers tn a reading room sacred to their reek Now, we have stopped at sundry hotel* at sundry places, and only once have ws found a clock in ladies' parlor, or a newspaper accessible to female guests. If woman have idle hours upon their bands, they can spend them in turning over an advertising album, or in gaxin* at blank walla. For every little trifle that is wanted, they most ring for servants, and make a commotion throughout tb* house. The same prices per day will appear upon the bills, and this should secure for them the sauie privileges and conveniences n««t are provided for other travelers.1

OLD RESIDENT.

MT. VERNON, III, May 16,1878. According to the prompting of the proper figures at the end of the direction label, more currency is required to secure The Msil to us for a longer time henee the inclosed remittance. The fact ia, your paper is to us a sine qua non. Be sides bringing esch week local and other news interesting to us, it often reminds me pleasantly of long ago, of which, if you do not care how much I scribble just now, I will teli yen something Many items of no pest interest to tbe general reader, except so far as the present is concerned, recall to me similar or diverse facts that occurred «t Terre Haute in Its good yonnar iUya. For instance, in a late nuiiitiar you mention tbat recently a house (on First street, perhaps?) was struck by lightning, and it reminded me of a line incident

FORTY TEARS AGO,

almost out of town. The damage in each case was comparatively light, though in the older Instance, injury to children led to a professional visit. I was living at that time (1834) and had my office in the nly building then standing on the east side of the public square, said house being composed of what are now two houses, one a twostory frame on Fifth street, back of Hulman's store, whither I had it moyed, having purchased of Wm. C. Linton a quarter (n.w. li)ot tbe square between Main, Fifth, Sixth, and Cherry streets— tbe other is the old one-Btory frame dwelling on Ohio, south side, between Third and fourth streets—and I was sitting after dinner with my wife (we were young and alone then) watching a storm, which, though of short duration, was unusually severe—tbe rainfall immense, the lightning terrific—when is simultaneous flash and crash blinded and startled us and in a short time a messenger, out of breath, came, saying Mr. Harrington's house had been struck by lightning, and asked that I would go and see his children, who were hurt. Mr Harrington, a blacksmith, a good man, who worked in town, lived in Mr. Gilbert's house, a building thou of one story, standing on the corner of Sixth and Ohio streets—names rarely mentioned in these days. It was the only house on the large out-lot of Mr. G.'s, now so well occupied, between Sixth and Seventh, Ohio and Main streets and it was the only bouse directly east of my residence—I had almost written between my bouse and the small village of Indianapolis—made for the capital, that was down at Corydon, on the Ohio But I recollect that Joseph S. Jonckes, tbe Dickinsons, and others, lived a few miles out on the road east. And I ran out of the back gate, east side of my premises ran across the prairie, open and unbroken ran through water in the grass over my shoes, water not having had time to flow away I ran directly to Mr. H.'s dwelling—now tbat of Mr. Beach, back of the postofflce—and found everything in disorder. Scattered bricks and mortar sprinkled the floor and furniture, and tbe family was sadly deranged by brickbats and fright. The lightning had struck the chimney on the west end of the building, and the debris, thrown everywhere in the room occupied by the family, had fallen .upon tbe bed upon which the children were huddled,bruisingsome of them severely. I soon succeeded in restoring quiet, and in a few dsys the bruises were healed.

purposes, etc. Mr. Rose understood such things well, bnt he did not say snything of a canal that would sometime traverse It, nor did he speak of the railroads that would later mark it with iron tracks. He considered chiefly its productiveness in suitable crops. He sccordlngly fenced his msgnificent property and employing Wm. Miller to superintend it, raised corn upon it before be thought of raising a city tnere. And his fii-st step, at tbe proper time,towards making a city was building the Prairie

House, now the Terre Haute House and some then wondered that be would build so large a'house so FAR IN THE COUNTRY. But there are, I presume, citizens who remember how pleasant it was to be its guest, particularly when Theron Barnum, late of tbe Barnum House, 8t. Louis, was tbe landlord. Mr. B. came from Baltimore to take charge of the Prairie House. And now forsooth ev erybody recognises the wisdom that guided Mr. Rose's first and also his subsequent steps. Looking back to Vigo county, as some of us can, nearly half a century, we can see with tbe "mind's eye"

A

PICTURE

tbat I think would interest tbe people of Terre Haute if tbey could behold it it would at least strikingly illustrate the newness, so to speak, of the country. A crowd of men were gathered on the unfenced court house square, drawn thither by a magnetism peculiar to the force of certain first principles in uncultivated nature. The men were on horseback and their designs and the results of their action that day were such as an abundance of deer, wolves, foxes, etc., would invite. We—Judge Dowey of the Supreme Court, Judge Huntington, and Col. Blake were of the numberwere fixed for hunting, having tbe bounds with us, and we rode out of town and caught a wolf where now are btreets and dwellings of tbe city. Farthur out we captured other game. The time was 1831. The next year there was a large assemblage about tbe same old square and the men there gathered were armed for another kind of a hunt. There was then a fence about the court house and horses were tied all around to it. Black Hawks were to be the game this time, and Cspt. Backus was the leader of the the hunters. I will tell you of another Black Hawk gathering sometime. But tbe game near us was an interesting feature of the time and locality. I have bought a dosen prairie chickens for fifty cents. One day I was riding north from town when I came across nine deer standing a short distance west of tbe road, and they remained very quiet while I passed ou. I had no gun and did not scare them. Tom Parsons said that on account of the low price of venison tbey felt cheap and would uot run unless a shot urged them.

One of the roost singular citizens of Vigo county was Tom Puckett, living about four miles south of Terre Haute, on the prairie. On one occasion he did what no other man ever did with any wild game of the west. He found a bear down near Eel river, worried it till the wild beast would run before his horse and he drove it up to his honse, a distance of fifteen miles. With all his oddities, Tom was a good man, and remarkable for bis courage and endurance. In those gamey limes of old it

was

commonly said thata

deer could be Btarted any day in Hamilton's field, on the east side of Harrison prairie (since Early's field), but hunters bsd to go to Eel river for bears. Wild turkeys sold for a bit (123* cents) a piece. Tbe fact is we lived on game and dodgers, though we had pork, good pork, not sucb as has in it triobinn, so common nowadays.

Recent articles in Tbe Mail about a very Ernest capture, a bandit surrounded and taken, etc., brought to my recollection a

QUEER INSTANCE OP EARLY DAYS That I may be permitted to mention, and I trust if any one is disposed to find fault with my story or with me be will bear in mind tbat I wss born in 1808, when things were, not as they are now. I was riding into town one dsy—I wss in my buggy and bad two or three of my little children with me—it was later than the periods I have mentioned above, bnt tbe space now so well occupied tbuilt over) between Third street and all the world east of it was still quite bare —and I met the sheriff near where the church is, corner of Fifth snd Ohio, and be was excited and ont of breath. He had a pistol in his band—not a Colt's revolver, bnt a full grown horse pistol, snd it surprised me to see him look so distressed, so forlorn—he was all slone —and I said: "Sheriff, what Is tbe matter?" He asked me if I did not see a man running toward the prairie. I had not seen him ss perhaps a feuce hid bim when I passed near him. I turned my horse, drove rapidly eastward and soon saw the fellow running with the eamtttaess of a "modern bandit" southeast, Inclining somewhat towards the Bloomiagton road. I got upon hi» track and tried to run him down, but going sigzag he escaped me, reached the fence to Mr. Rose's field of grass and corn and jumped over—the fence was on tbe line where the old canal was afterward dug —aid 1 drove Into* fenoecorner, climbed over (no* slowly) and overtook Mr. OillUand before he reached the oorn. The large field was meadow and eon ground. He did not want to stop, bnt hsving surrounded him, I persusded him to halt, by holding him, till the sheriff came to us flourishing his horse pMni and bringing with him eight or ten men it was quite a crowd. As tbe officer approached, the prisoner, who, I believe, was charged with stealing a horse or a saddle, called ont, don't make a fool of yoorseif. Put up your pistol. You don't need to shoot.

"f'i'~- {'"SPr j.

Don't yon see the doctor slone has me T" Tbe man. was tried snd I believe was sent to Jefferaonville. This runswsy happened thus: Tbe sheriff had Gilliland at Lange's office, and making some excuse to get out of tbe back door, the fellow leaped the fence and went with some speed till arrested, as above stated. Esq. Lange's efflce was in the brick row Mr. Linton built on the ground upon which, ss above related, I resided and had my garden. Sometimes when I have passed tbe

CORNER OF THIRD AND MAIN,

I have thought of tbe potatoes, onions, and green things I had cultivated upon soli which now sustslns the weight of three-storied stores. It affecta us strangely sometimes to consider the small things of tbe past, sinc6 tbey raise thoughts of large things some times. I don't mean to have it understood tbat I would imagine that brick stores and the like were grown on potatoe vines or pea sticks, but I recollect as if it were yesterday when I raised tomatoes and cabbages (at least let theip grow), where the Buntin House stands, and lettuce, onions and beans where tbe market Is. I lived in the old cottage house afore-, said on Ohio street and owned all the lots where the market now,stands. On the Buntin House lot (which I purchased of Vigo Gounty)TI bad my stable as well as a "truck patch." The little old original market house stood in the street nearly in front of where the Buntin House stands.

But forgive me for all this scribblitig, tbat would grow interminably, if not stopped and believe I am yours ever,
