HON.JOHN B. DUXON,librarian of the State for several years, an old and well known citizen,, died at Indianapolis, last Monday.

THE cornet is growing in such favor in the worship of the Almighty in some of the big New, York ohurohes that in lq the praise of the Lord, the near future may bring tbe trombone and Bass drum.

Louis Guetjo, who was to have been banged with Merrick and Aohey, at Indianapolis, on.Wednesday, was granted on Monday, a new trial, by the Supreme Court. He deserved hanging more than Achey, but the Indianapolitans, having bad their first hanging, and thus cooled the fever, Quetig will, in all probability, save his neck.

THE Indianapolis Journal says that bills will be introduced in the Ligislafcure in a few days to re-organize tbe benevolent institutions, and to give the Governor and State House Commissioners the right to borrow one million of dollars to complete the State House within three or four years. Better go a little slow onthat.

THE Bric-a-Brac is the title of tbe latest Saturday evening paper. It comes from Bloomington, Ills. Leek & Freeman are tbe editors, and the first issue shows a good deal of spice in their composition. Bric-a Brae is an appropriate, though odd, name—one the newpboys will be apt to convert into Brick-bafT 'Here's your Saturday evening Brio bat 1" will be rather Startling.

THE President has signed the arrears of pension bill, and ft is now the 14w o( the land. Its passage is ond of very doubtful propriety. .. It is stated, that some of tbe congressmen who voted for it have said that if they had known the immense sum of money that will be required to pay these claims they would not have voted for it.' Truly a mortify* ing confession, but one illustrating tbe vast amount of hasty and ill-considered legislation.

CAN a photographer legally sell to any one a copy of the photograph of a pri

one a copy oi lob h-

portrait This important question Is to be brought up before the English courts for decision. A lady refused her photograph to an admirer. He, not to be balked In his passion, went to her photographer and bought a copy -of her picture. Whereupon tbe lady brings suit to pttntah, If possible, for selling her pioture without permission.

THE matter of adulteration Is fearful to contemplate, and horrible to Investigate. Of seventeen samples of table syrups recently examined by R. C. Keddar, professor of chemistry In the Mlohlgan State Agricultural College, fifteen proved to be made from glucose one sample contained 1-11 grains of oil of vitriol and 7&1 grains of lime to the gallon, and another, whloh had caused serious sickness in an entire family whom be knew, contained 72 grains of oil of vitriol, 28 of copperas, and 363 of lime to the gallon.

UPON the streets of Joliet, Illinois, last Saturday, there was a sight as novel as It is deserving of imitation. The occasion was a free ride for the school children, the fumfe beta* subscription. Nearly 40rfufctfef* and sleighs carrying an aggtf&ffBS' cbil dren, were in the ptodeeeloriv Th$ city schools were cloeod, and the teachers accompanied their schools. As the prooesSion pasaed a certain point, tbe children were liberally supplied with apples, fifteen barrels of this fralt having been purchased for the occasion.

ON Friday night of last week, a St. Louis policeman attempted to catch a thief, but his efforts not proving success ful, he pat a ballet through the fellow, which will probably kill him. The officer's only excuse for firing was that he was too bit to ran. Bat if he had not been armed and tbe thief bad presented a revolver, the public would have been given abetter opportunity for judging of his facility In making tracks. It was really no test of bis running ability. The affair has created a sensation In St. Louis, and tbe papers criticise the offl cer's conduct severely.

Mr. Fish gives it as his opinion that If the nomination for president was to be made now, Grant would undoubtedly be the nominee, but things may change before 1SS0.

THE Inter-Ocean says many good things, but here is one of the most sensible facta It ever uttered "The people of the United States pay for a dreary lot of second-hand wind. If half the laws we have were abolished, and with them two-thirds of the legislation, State and national, the people would prosper as well iaddirioitia sas-jbapltf.'? We commend this idea to the members of our State legislature, who, in thisiflrdt eleven working days of the present session, Introduced no less than 325 bills in the House, and about 225 In the Senate, having time to pass but one—that of appropriating 125,000 for the expenses of the session. We are governed too much..

THE Cincinnati Gazette has been looking into tbe saloon business of that city, and finds there are six miles of them— 3,248 in Hamilton county, not counting places where liquor is dispensed at wholesale. There are paid Into these places each year, $7,678,460 for malt liquors, and $5,000,000 for other kinds.

On Wednesday' last Marion cotlnty witnessed the first execution that has ever occurred there. It was a double execution, and would hate been rf triple one, but for the fact that a few days before, the supreme oourt reversed tbe case of one of the prisoners—Guetig— who is to have anew trial. Aohey and Merrick were, however, executed, the Supreme Court finding no error in their cases. Much sympathy was felt lor Achey, and it was thought by many that the Governor would interfere and commute his sentence, but be refused to take any action in the matter. It will be remembered that the man whom Achey shot was a professional gambler, and this fact, as well as the repentant and suffering manner in which the prisoner awaited his doom, aroused the sympathy for him which existed. To Merrick, on tbe contrary, the public heart was steeled. No word of sympathy was uttered for him, for the terrible character of his oriaae, the deliberate murder of his wife in cold blood, froze the heart of everyone.,

The execution was perfect In all Its details, and reflected much credit on tbe officers whose duty it was to perform the disagreeable job, Both men displayed great ooolneu* and nerve and made short speeches from tbe scaffold. Achey denied that he had committed tbe murder with premeditation, bat avowed himself ready to be hung since the people demanded it. Merrick, contrary to expectation, protested bla Innocence of the murder of his wife to tbe but bis words and demeanor were those of a hardened villain, who bad sworn to a lie and was desperately resolved to "die game," though it were with a lie on bis lips. Merrick was 37 and Achey 48 years of age.

Tbe third trial of Bolan is now going on in Indianapolis, and the case of Warren Tate will be called for an early day. It is hardly probable, however, that any other executions will take place in that city for some time to come.

PRESIDENT AND SENA TJC, The fight between Senator Oonkling and the President waxes hotter *nd hotter. So far Conkllng has gained bis pointy for the committee on Gommeroe bas reported nofovorabjy on Merritt and Burt, the President's nominees for tbe New Yoi*k Custom boose. What the action of the Senate will be remains to be seen. Muoh will depend on the position of the Democrats, and It-i* Pofc $&• known whether they wlil aide with the President, with a view to widening the breaoh In the Republican party in New York, or whether they will go with Conkling, thus asserting the doctrine of the Senatorial prerogative of patronage. Meantime Secretary Sherman is preparing leMSP to- fchf Senate in which, he declares, bq%|vill show, that under Arthur and

So far as "demoralizing-the'^mmuni-t£' is jsonoernftd^ •$* "Me wby there should beany more demoralization in pa^ihajei^ th4n hi the criifte. If the popular S^ppach is npfc disturbed by the |beating(9f innocent and defenceless women and children, why should It be sickened when the women and children beatere afe cOii)polled to take their own medicioe? In all, or nearly all, of the penitentiaries .convicts are whipped whenever the necessities of discipline seem to demand it. The public cotfrified by the performance and nobody, sience is not, so far as we are aware, horexcept the sufferers, denounce it as a relic of barbarism." Wby ^ould whipping in a jail beany more "barbarous" than whipping in a penitentiary? Why should it be any more "demoraizing" to whip a ruffian who has knocked' down and kicked his wife, than to *hip a convict for making too much noise or refusing to obey orders?

We hope our legislature will pass this law, and then we want to see it have 4 fair trial. If it fails to lessen this kind of brutality and ruffianism, it can be repealed the next session. Nobody will regret tbe sound floggings In the meantime given tbe men unfit to be called the head of the family. If it does not fail, it will certainly be a great blessing—

the New York

Custom house was vpryjjorr.uptly and inefficiently managed, and that the employees we,re systematically, ^fibqd by certain importers In consideration of which they received special favors. He will show further, he says, that lender Merritt ana Burt there has been vast* cutting down of expenses and an increase in the revenue collected.

If Secretary Sherman can mak£good these charges it will be rather severe on Mr. Conkllng, but the latter Is so vflly at rlo be politician that he is hardly likely caught in a trap. Whatever the outcome may be it is plain enough that the President is battling against, and Mr. Conkllng In favor of, the muoh abused Senatorial privilege of controlling the piibllc appointments. In this the President is only carrying out one of the main doctrines promulgated in the Republican platform of 1870. -1 the whipping POST,

The Virginia Senate bas refused, by a very decided majority, to repe^,the whipping post law, taking the ground that a great saving of expenseAs ^ccru-i ed and there has been a notable decrease of petty thefts. The whipping post promises to beoome a popular n^hod of punishment for minor offdnses. Propositions are pending in half a^ozen States to establish it. In our own legislature there has been a bill introduced to use it as a punishment for wife whipping. We are not enthusiastically in favor of the whipping post as a punishment for miscellaneous crimes—dp not care to see it in daily use—but we have no objection to its introddctlon4i| this State for the punishment of wflei1 and children beaters. The man who, whips a woman or maltreats a child is already so deeply disgraced that nothing can damage him further in that diffedtion. He cannot be "brutalized by ther-llsb," because he Is already a brute and for' brutes of this, species nothing buf the lash will answer the purpose. A petty thief or highway robbed tnay'-ratain more or less manhood. He mayTiave been driven into crime by the pjqpsure of poverty, or by other influence^ not altogether vicious. But there is no spark of manhood left in the wretch.whoabuses the weaker portion of humanity. He is an irredeemable scoundrel, who deserves whipping not only because it is specially appropriate to his case, out TiecaQ,se"exnerieh9e hyas) proved that such sc!$unarellim can* only be checked by whipping. Fines and the workhouse have no terrors .for him, bat he has a healthy dfead xtf the eowbideu

MONEY.

"Seek not proud riches, bat snob as thou mayeit get jastly, use soberly, distribute cheerfully, snd leave contentedly yet have no abstractor frlarlycontempt for them." Such waa the advice *f Lord ®acon uttered nearly three hundred years ago, and it is good advice today. The man who bas neither riches nor poverty, but the golden- mean be tween the iwb, Is tbe ftrtanit« tnsn. An es«eesof riches makes men mean and miserly. It is told of a great millionaire who died recently that being in Europe near the place where bis father and mother were buried, he concluded to visit their graves. In order to avoid paying the small fee (only a few eents) which waa charged for admission to tbe cemetery, he climbed over tbe wall in going in and coming oat, and on being discovered and followed by tbe sexton, fell into a passion from the effects of which be died. This is an extreme case, bnt examples of a similar kind are frequent in tbe lives of very rich men. It is said of Nathan Rothschild, tbe great Jew banker, who died in London some

years ago, that to part with a shilling in the way of charity cot him to tbe heart, although his profits were sometimes half a million d$ll»rs iP single trans action. v*.

Money, beyond a oertaln amount, brings care and trouble rather than happiness. Stephen Girard wrote to a friend: "I live like a galley-slave, constantly occupied, and often passing the night without sleeping. I am wrapped ap in a labryutb of affairs and worn oat with cares. I do not value a fortune. The love of labor is my highest motive When I rise in the morning my only effort is to labor so hard during the day that when night coqin I may be entitled to sleep Boundly."

It Is nevertheless trj»f that mo|»fy is the'purveyor of all good things that, as Carlyle puts It, "whoever Va#5sixpence is sovereign over all jooen to the extent of that Sixpence," No tloubt of Its being good. How to get it, tKat is tbeprtfblemi «tith tbe man who has it not. One of the greatest and most common misCdacid46lit.ls concerning the acquisition of wealth, is the unJervatlii^o|'Ba$ih savingfc^ A^iittle Berf denial practiced every day resolutely for years will lay the foundation of a fortune. A man began life as a brickiayejf at' ajdbljar 'a dS# *dfl,fby'CcIose -e&n'ofe»/lAd tip fl82o«ft BiS-year's wages. With this capital as a lever he lifted himself higher, and became an extensive, builder and the. ppsspssor of a fortune. It is skid of a1^ leAdlngJ'business firm in a large eastern city that both members came to the city withoat a cent, and swept the very shop wherein 'they-ftiterwards inade thelr fortune. It i? pot so much these little savings as the habit of economy and self denial which they develop, that counts so largely in the end. It is the competent, resolute, pains-taking men who are entrusted with extensive affairs, and such men are the product of right habits of living. In a word, money seeks the hands of those who,know how to use and control it, and this knowledge comes of long experience. Here, as elsewhere, the faithful iu small things become rulers over great things. What too often happens is that people become dissatisfied with doing the small things and are impatient for the great things to come. To suoh the great things seldom come, because such seldom acquire tbe requisite skill and ability to justify their coming. Tbe motto of the moneygetter must be: "Learn to labor and to wait."

SCHOOL TEACHERS' SALARIES. A rather unique discussion is recently reported, in the Cincinnati Gazette, as having occurred in a late meeting of tbe Board of Education for' the public schools of Cihdnnati, between a deputation oif lady teachers present, and certain members of the Board who were moving to cut down the salaries throughout the schoqjs. The ladies seem to have had rather the best of the discussion at least, if not of the votes. The lady-teachers, they said, did most of the work while receiving but one-haif or One-thftd of tbe salaries paid to tbe men. A lady teacher, they further urged, bad to spend money to prepare herself for her profession, and one of them, a Mrs. Read, gave figures to show that at even tbe present rate of salaries paid, it was impossible to lay up any money for the future, a provision which she held that a woman, no less than a man' was "bound to' 'make. A lady teacher bad got to dress neatly and tastefully, and could not well wear old dressed, as she might largely do at home, A tailor present on the Board suggested that calico was quite respectable, when the entire committee of ladies answered in concert that even calioo «i as more expensive than many other good*, because it.needed so much washing. Mrs. Read also made a statement of her household expenses foVa family of three for a year —a total, aside from clothuag, ol .$494, leaving only $206 for all otber necessary expenses, such as household goods, clothing, medicine nd so on, and but little or pothlug for oOmforts, not to speak of any prolor the future. An unbiased Wind would say that this was a pretty moderate estimate for a place the size of Cincinnati, and that a city which cuts down a teacher's salary below $700— when she is competent and has a family Of (Sure* to provide for—ought not to boast over much of the generous public spirit shown in its Academy ot MUBIC. Tbe tailor again urged that the lady teachers were getting now more than than they did before the war. Here Miss Johuson c*me to the defense of her Bide with the rejoinder that when the salaries were so low the lady teachers suffered great hardships, and she could see no justice in renewing such hardships on tbe plea that they had been endured once.

The ladies further claimed that the female teachers were doing as good work as the male teachers, a statement which seems to have brought things to a crisis at once, for it was objected in reply, once more also by the tailor, that be knew bis children always behaved better when their mother told them that she would tell papa. Tne ladies thought that tbe tailor's wife made a mistake. They insisted that they at least had found it easy enough to keep their papilsin order without having to appeal to the male teachers. The tailor shook bis bead and was silent.

The result however of tbe discussion was, that the proposed reduction was made. This outs down the salaries of female teachers from $700 and |500 to 9500 and |400. The officers high up fare better,

becomes their exalted posi

tion. Honors must be supported. Tbe Superintendent of schools, for instance, falls from |3,000 to *2,500,-still quite a snug sum, on the principle that a man

with an Income ot 910,000 does not really feel a reduction of fl,000, or ten per cent,, as much as his bookkeeper, with tbe same sized family, perhaps, who finds bis salary of f1,000 also reduoed ten per oent,, or to |900. Tbe |9,000 in one case is still a large income, furnishing the elegancies of life, tbe 1900, in the other, only meager, while tbe flOO taken off may make all tbe difference in the world between the necessities of life supplied and tbe necessities of life un met. What must it be when the amount goes down from £ti00tof400 in the case of a woman with mouths to feed and bodies to clothe dependent upon her? Bat the Superintendent of school-buildings gets now over |2,500 and is to fall only to *2,800. Tbe "Clerk," whatever his duties may be, falls from |2,500to |2,400, and the assistant Clerk from f},500 tofl,30fl. Perhaps if some of tbe lady teachers would marry the "Clerk" or bis assistant, tbe matter might be easily adjusted, and thus *1,300 to $1,500 added to their salaries, in perfect harmony also with the wishes of tbe Board. But then they can't all of them marry him, and if they could, he may already be spoken for, perhaps already in possession of one wife, which Is about all probably he would care to "lead about."

But in all soberness, when will the time come that salaries shall be paid according to the quality of the service rendered, and not because one is a woman If she does her work as well as a man, under like circumstances, wby pay her less than be gets for tbe same work Tbe stores don't sell her things any cheaper because she is a woman. If they do then it is a suspicious circumstance.

If we wlsh tb take tndstihfPout of the complaint of the Woman Suffrage movement, that woman needs the ballot to protect herself, tben let us pay her what she, just as well as man, earns. As long as we do not, so long will she have a claim that no fair-minded person can gainsay,

Looking over the list of salaries paid to teachers in Terre Haute, we find that the proportion Is about the same in the pasft of both men and women. Some of onr most efficient principals are women, and tbev eern their money—both they and their male coadjutors alike. If we haves schools noted for their efficiency, as they are wherever known, may not thiB equalisation-of salary and work among bofh sexes have something to do with the fact? It certainly Is to the credit of the city.. But then there isn't an economical tailor on the Board who measures the efficiency'Of female teachers by the fact that his wife has to tell the children that if they don!t.behave she shall tell papa.. si I

THE Modern Argo last Saturday bad no allusion to 'the reported suspension of that paper, bat Mr. Dooley, in one of his editorial articles, indicates that he has not stepped into a barren field, but on the contrary, one in the highest state of cultivation, with an astounding crop of newspapers. .In speaking of an item in Peck's Sun, in regard to the number of papers in Raci ne, Wisconsi he says:

You evidently never heard of Columbus, Ohio. It is the paradise for all persons wishing to start newspapers of whatever description. It is a much better place than Racine, or any other place. It always offers brilliant opportunities for newspaper enterprises, and men are eagerly clutching for them as if they were nuggets of gold. There 18 not ianother place In the United States so well adapted to the newspaper business. Columbus is a city of about 60,000 inhabitants. A large proportion of tbe citizens are engaged in publishing newspapers. Nearly all the ladies of the city write for the pipers, and the few outside men who are so unfortunate as to be neither editors, publishers, compositors, or devils, do little else than read newspapers. All tbe boys are newsboys. There are at least thousand poets here, representing all grades, from the mild-eyed youth, up to the overconfident rhymers who always know that their efforts have the fervor of inspiration seething through them. Essayists and novelists abound.

Tbe newspapers make mone^y by exchanging with each other and then selling the exchanges for old papers. Many of them are very wealthy. The editors are a luxurious and tyranical class of citizens, exercising a despotic hway over the destinies of tbe city. When yon hear of any man agonizing for journalistic honors, start him for Columbus, where fame, wealth and honor clamor for resting places on his massive brows. Butdon'tsend him unless he has these kind of brows. He will never sncceed here without them. An editor here m-nstdepend largely on his brome. Columbnsis the boss.

THE New York Herald, speaking of a libel suit in which Col. Keitt sued the N. Y. Times for $50,000, and got six cents, says Col. K's experience in this matter is of some value to him, and should be of greater value to men, totally unlike him, who institute libel suits against newspapera, not to vindicate their character or to express their resentment, but only as a blackmailing dodge. Tbe Times also says:

Tbe greater portion of libel suits against tbe press are instigated by shysters for the purpose of extorting blackmail. It la expected that a newspaper will consent to pay a few hundred dollars to save itself the trouble of a lawsuit, and If the trick does not snoceed the suits are seldom brought to trial. It Is tbe duty of the press to withstand all such blackmailing operations, never consenting to be bodght off, but relying on tbe justice of courts and juries. Nominal damages of six cents do not encourage tbia species of litigation.
