A BILL, has been introduced in the present Legialature providing for the xeduction of petit juries from twelve to «ix members. There is no good reason why such a ohange should not be made, .and at least one strong reason why it «hocld.

Such a saving is a matter ef no small consideration in times like these.

CURTIS ON BRYANT. which is worth living for and rnakea the The oration of George William Curtis, most of it, His days shall be filled with delivered on the occasion ol the memo- nonest, faithful endeavor and over Hall rial exerolaea in honor of William Cullen will be oast an atmosphere of genuine Bryant, in the Aoaderpyof Munio, New contentment and happiness. Scorn not York, Is one of great feliolty and beauty. The subject was admirably suited to Qurtla' genius and his panegyric of the dead poet was appropriate and sincere,

The address oontftins much information oonoerning Bryant's life with which the public is not generally familiar. From Curtis we learn that the poet spent but seven months at Williams College (instead of two years, as we are told in Underwood's Hand Book of Authors) and this was the end of his sohooling. He was now about seventeen years of age, and soon after (either In his eighteenth or nineteenth year) wrote "Than

merit in American literature. At nine teen he began the study of law, was ad mitted to the bar two years later, and at onoe opened an office. When "Thanatopsis" was published he was already a practicing lawyer, and continued abtlv« ly in the profession for about ten years, During this period, however, he had not wholly abandoned literary pursuits and was a frequent contributor to the North American Review and other periodicals. It must have beoome evident to Bryant at length that the profeasion of law was not well suited to his tastes and temper ament, for at the age of thirty be aban doned Great Barrington and took up his residence in New York, thenaoityof but 180,000 inhabitants. Here he engaged in several literary enterprises, and in 1826, when he was thirty-two years old, he became associate editor of the Evening Post, the journal to which fifty years of his life were consecrated.

He entered upon the discharge of his editorial duties in that thorough and painstaking spirit which characterized everything he put his hand to. "For live days out of every week," it is said, during forty-two years of the fifty-two that he was the chief editor, he was at his desk before 8 o'clock in the morning and left upon his journal in sotne*fo*m the daily impression of his character and genius." Here he fought with vigor and energy the battles of free trade and the abolition of slavery. His course was eve? dictated tjy the highest sentiments of ri&ht and Justibe. S&ys Ciiitis: "In all the long, tumultuous years of his editorial life does any memory, however searching or censorious, recall' one line that he wrote which was not honest and pure one measure that he defended except from the profoundefct conviction of its usefulness to the country one cause that be advbcated which any friend of liberty, of humanity, of good government, would deplore?" His life was characterized by great temperance and simplicity. He was not a vegetarian he drank some wine, but of tobacco he made no use in any form. His frugal and regular habits, combined with

AT this season of ice and snow, of fes tivity and merry making, of cold days and long winter evenings, most people have some spare time to devote to books and newspapers, with which every fam ily should be well supplied—the larger and more varied the better. Books and auu uiuiw irugfti ftua regular 11HU1W) wuiViUvU wivu papers, the best published, were never 8y8tematjG

cheaper than they are now. There is, .» therefore, noreason why every home should not be well provided with good reading matter. If a family can have but one, that is book or paper, it should be a good family newspaper like The Mail,

NOTWITHSTANDING the eagerness of men to start newspapers, anjd the pleasure men and women generally have in writing for them, literary tasks are appalling to some folks, as several attempted suicides, within few weeks, illustrate. A school girl in Palatine, 111., tried to drown herseli because she had been ordered to write a composition. A politician in Lansing, Mich., became exceedingly nervous before sitting down to write a speech, and before the work was done he was insane. He stabbed himself with the paper cutter that he bad been using. A Baltimore medical student, depressed by the prospect oi preparing a thesis, swallowed laudanum.

exercise in the open air, were

the primary sources of that uniform good health which he enjoved and the extraordinary lohgevitftfri to which be attained.

WlCe jstoe arbidispd^ed-toi kfcfcbrA to Bryant only' a secondary rank as a poet, it should not be forgotten that he was one of the founders of American literature, and had not the duties of the exacting profession to which he devoted his life absorbed *0 much of bis time and effort, would doubtless have left a far richer contribution to our poetry than he has done. As it is, his career was certainly one of enviable purity, beauty and tranquility.

It attacks people living in the most elegant homes, and who have been delicately reared. It Is no respector of rank or worldly condition."

McClurgA Co. $1.25. This handsome little volume, just Issued by Jansen, McClurg A Co., tells everything worth know|ng.abo0 "Tfye German." The first chapter is a modest plea for the German, as contrasted with ordinary dancing parties,. The authors claim that when once understood it will rapidly grow in popularity. The figures are generally adapted to the parlor, but the more elaborate figures for the fwsembiy room are also given. .The etiquette of the dapee is.gfven a chapter, and just "how to behave" is fully pointed out. A chapter is devoted to advice arid Instructions to "the leader," a very important part. The authors have presented the subject in a very methodical raanthose ibterfcted ill tbe^inuseinent, with the book to guide, can easily understand enough to ^alk gracelully through "the German."

and salary law was enacted. Public officers should bear these burdens along with their constituents, and should have their fees and salaries reduced in acoordanoa with the requirements of the times. The wrltftr believes in paying our county and all other publijoffloers good salaries but falls to see the justice or souse in paying our county officers salaries almost equal to the beads of Departments at Washington. There ought to be a scale of fixed salaries, according to the population of the counties. All fees going directly iuto the treasury, the Commissioners making all necessary allowances for olerlcal help, books, paper, kc. Tl*.e salaries and fees of the principal officers of Vigo county ought to be reduoed at least one-half, which, will then leave them for their duties, which are simply clerical, twice as much as the best ac countant iu this city can get for bis services in any business house in the city.

If the present legislature refuses to correct this matter, let every man of them be marked for condemnation, politically, in the future. It might seem very hard on the present incumbents of the offices, but not one of them would resign in consequence. Evefy man that pays any tax at all, is interested in this question, and as it is not a party measure, our people should at onoe hold a meeting, memorialize the Legislature, and send a delegation 9f our beat qjtizens to Indianapolis to look alter tbeir interests In this matter.

"A PERMANENT BIBLE." t. TERRE HAUTE, Jan. 7th, 1879. To the editor of The Mail:

DEAR SIR: AS regards the general objections and questions raised by Mr. J. H. Beadle, in his article in last week's Mail headed, "A Temporary Bible," I have two simple propositions to lay down:

First,—While it is true that we should be on our guard against all'loose, unwarranted and merely Indivldaal Bible interpretations, or any other which seeks to explain the Bible injunctions away, as attempts fraught with danger and evil, still, certain teachings of the Bible may be, all the same, distinctively local instead of universal in their import, and yet not 0/necessity thereby destroy the a«thority of the Bible as a religious guide. Because we emphasize their local character and claim they tbey may in the course of time become obsolete for specific guidance, or have become so, that is by no means the same as making the Bible itself obsolete, or throwing it away.

Second,—Although these localizing interpretations may be so many as to introduce a multitude of even loose and confusing exceptions, still, even here, the fundamental, essential teachings of the Bible, ew regards faith., salvation through the Cross, the Oolden Rule, and so on, are not of necessity denied, or the unity of the Bible destroyed. And in fact we find that on. these fundamental points, notwithstanding other differences, the Christian world is substantially at oftey^%^lp03a?tJbe4a#Jd to all that leads up in the same direction, w&£an|iot ko jvdrjr far S(jtra^, o^hl™ f3 hunt v^ry far ior our lost 6ible.

There is such a thing, I claim, as a Gospel adaptation to varying circumstances, times and needs,—an adaptation that proves at once it's inspired and universal character a spirit of truth, of freedom, of purity, of love, wbijh does hold for all time. This spirit—the vital ity, the life itself of the Bible—is net to be tested by any merely local or literal interpretation such local influences may pass away, while yet this spirit remains, U\ ppt \qtei5preted: by itedf as an uplifting, regenerating, disenthralling spirit—a working power, helping on a more/auspicious, more divine order of things among men, an increasing reign of goodness, brotherly love and peace. And that spirit, a devout, reverent faith, seeking not to carp but to know the truth, will, without long searching, find and know. Such is my Bible,—the same old Bible- which, from the first, has attended the march of Christian civilization until that civll^tbttign includes one-third of the hgiiaain family, and txerts the controlling influence In human affairs to-day* Instead of "a temporary Bible," I offer this permanent Bible, which, in spite. of mistakes in interpretation, in spiter of scoffs, denials and rejections, has yet come down to us from out the distaflt past, the household stay in sickness, sorrow and Joy, the beacon light of thf soul amid the breakers of temptation* the guide of the life that now is, and the sure promise Of the lifetbat la to come. Ve^jr Truly Yours,
