•3Jtarr Mondsiy is the last day 6f the regular session of the .State legislature. l^Ule or nothing has been done the entire Mgrioc, •nd-'it looks now like an exfea Marion Is inevitable, in order to complete some needed legislation.

OWINO to the failure of Congress to pass the ordinary appropriation bills to meet the current expenses of the govern ment, an extra session was rendered necessary, and the President has called (weta^meft on the 18th task It is a •object in whl4| the Republicans have no interest, and will be a sort of Demo* craticmatted

HON. JOHN C. NHW, ex-Unifced States Treasurer,

has beftn elected chairman 6f

the Blginblicad State Central Committee, Vice Judge Blair, deceased, anditja intimated that Hon. William H, English is likely to be the chairman of the Democratic committee. Should this be the case the next campaign in Indiana will btf a hard fought battle, as both gentlemen are old politicians and shrewd managers.

A BOLD boy seized the materialized form of Big Indian by the foot in a seance in Bee be Plain, Canada, and could not be kicked oft, although the account says that a mule oould not have worked more vigorously than did this spirit visitant. The lights were turned up, and the lad was disclosed clutching the foot of Mrs. Huntoon, the medium, who was clumsily disguised in Indian dre&s. Mrs. Huntoon is sister of the notorious Eddys.

MM, ELIZABETH THOMPSON, who has projected a plan for checking the yellow fever and has spent 5,000 or f10,000 already in the matter, is described by a correspondent as having been a poor girlk WtoAeal* ago, •draftmrtpr, whan arioh Boslon merchant AaJrrifcd. HeiMrs£^,1^i|he|a j£&e in Tfie o/i"tan "aniyial income of |60,000. She never married again, and has ever sinoe devoted herself to benevolent work of various kinds, giving •way from $30,000 to 940,000 in mispellaneowi charitlefci ^he parohaaed last year Carpenter's painting of the "Signing of the Emancipation Proclamation," for 925,000, and gave it to Congress. She has, however, found much of her miscellaneous giving to result in harm lather than good, and is reported as saying: "I still give oooasionally to promiscuous beggars in oases of peculiar Battering, but I know that much free charity breeds beggary rather than diminishes it, and there are wiser ways to invest money." Mrs. Thompson's head is level on this subject.

THE Fotty-fifth Congress went out in a blase of excitement. The debate in the Senate, on Sunday morning, after an all night session, was such as had not been witnessed there for several years. The question before the Senate being the penaioning of soldiers of the Mexican war, Mr. Hoar moved a resolution «xcluding Jefferson Davis from the benefits of the law on aooount ot his treason

STAMMERING is the result of a functional disorder of that part of the brain which presides over the faculty of speech, according to an article by Dr. Hammond in The Vcice. This is proved, be says, by the fact that all stammerers can at times speak as well as as other persons. "There is no defect with the organs of speech, no paralysis of the tongue or

lipe but there is a condition present which, at times, especially when the of those who fall into the vice of opium

Tkcd this appears to be due to an Impossibility of eo ordinating (fee muscles by which speed* is effected, of bringing them into harmonious fund systematic action." Dr. Hammond wa»at stammerer %t IB, but entirely cured himself, oiialnfr by the performance of some slight muscular action synohnpnlo^sly with the artiQOlation of theiifllc&lt syllable*. '"With each troublesome word," he explains, "especially with one begiutting a sentence, I made some slight motion with the hand or foot, or even with a single finger, and I found that this plan enabled me to get the word out without summering. In this procedure the attention is diverted from the effort to speak to the performance of the musfctilar action mentioned, and hence the speech becomes more automatic than 1t is with stammerers generally. And this is the whole system at care. It daknflsts la efforts to render the speech automatic.'' He occupied two years in curing him-

1880.

It cannot be denied but the political indications point strongly towprdB General Grant as the Republics standard bearer in the next presidential cam paigo. The return of such men as Conkling, Cameron, Chandler, Logan and Carpenter to the United States Senate, the old wheel-horses of the party during the war, undoubtedly makes in favor of Grant, and bis name is in everybody's mouth. There is no longer any concealment of the fact of his candidacy^ it is taken almost as a matter of coursC Nor can it be denied that he has elements of great strength. Unquestionably he is far more popular now than he was four years ago. Then he had been before the people so long and so constantly, ^and was so literally assailei and criticised, that many werewillin{ to see him retired to private life, who would now be glad to see him at the head of the government again. He' would rally the veterans of the war around him, while thousands of young men who hare grown up since the war and know him only as the illustrious, soldier of history, would enlist under his banner with enthusiasm. His absence from the country during the, present administration has also exerted a favorable influence in his behalf. On the whole it must be admitted that Grant is perhaps the strongest candidate the Republicans could put forward.

That the campaign of 1880 will be one of extraordinary excitement, iB easy to forsee. The struggle between the tit' parties will be a desperate one. Havin now control of both houses of Congress,! the Democrats will make a life and-deathf struggle to gain the Presidency, while,, the Republicans will exert themselves asf strenuously to regain the power that has been slipping from them during [the past few years. The census to be takei| next year will result in anew apportionment of representatives and electors which will be favorable to the Republicans, as it will show a heavy increase of population in the northwestern States and territories, whioh .. for the most part give Republican msio|,ities. For these:: And' bthAr 'reasons tlft* campaign of 1S80 may b^ looked forward ft as likely to be one of unusuafintelest and importance. ... tx&a

OPIUM EATING.

Dr. C. E. Wright, made opium eating the subject of his address to the graduating class of the Indiana Medical College, recently, and gave much interesting information ooncerning the habit. It is estimated .that there are about 204,000 opium eaters in the United States but the Doctor thinks this estimate is too low. The annual opium crop of this whole world is about twenty millions of pounds, of which the greater part is consumed by China. The Chinese gov-, ernment has, however, made, and Is making strenuous efforts to abolish the destructive habit among its subjects and numerous edioUi have been promulgated by the emperors forbidding U»e use of oplutft^ airif In 1817 «n emci was issued punishing with death all who shall violate it. This law is to go Jnto operation In 1880.

The growing use of the drug in the United Staves is "indicated by the increasing importations. la 1860 the amount imported was 105,000 pounds In 1867, it was 136,000 pounds In 1876, it wss 338,000 pounds, snd in 1877, 450,000

against the government. pound*. This Increase is much larger the Democrats to eulogize DavllMn the than the corresponding increase in population. Only from ono-twentieth to one-fifth part of this is used for medicinal purposes, and much that is so used goes into patent medicines, "pain-kill* ere," "cough syrups," "soothing syrups," etc., all of which compounds contain some preparation of opium.

the Democrats to eulogise loftiest terms, Lamar grtng so m¥ as to place him side by std4sriUh W*»Magton. Blaine and Conkllng made strong speeches, and finally Zach Chandler, hivfctyg kept silent as long as he ooald, lamped from his seat and poured forth a torrent of eloquence on the subject of Davis* treasonable conduct that was altogether overwhelming. The Democrats were taken by surprise, and had nothing further to say in laudation of the Southern chieftain. The Republicans were much gratified over the putoome ot the debate and Chandler was congratulated on ail sides. And with this exchange of eomptiments the control of the United States Senate passed to the Democrats for the first time ninoe 1881.

From partial statistics gathered by Dr. Wright from the druggists, he estimates the number of opium eaters in Indianapolis at about five hundred, who consume seventy-fire pounds of fhe vicious drug each month. There are some very bad cases—a few who habitually use sixty grains of morphia per day. About twelve gallons of laudanum and six gallons of paregoric are consumed each month. One professional man was accustomed to swallow four ounces of laudanum every morning. One viotim uses thirty grains of opium, lour times that quantity of chloral hydrate and uncertain quantities of whisky every day. Another takes an ounce of laudanum during the day and a pint of whisky during the night. One woman takes daily a pint and a half of paregoric, while another has used four ounces of laudanum each day for eighteen years.

PQLI1EUJBSSS IN HOTEL CLERKS. The Chieago Inter Ocean t»Us of a conductor who was reoently discharged from One of the street railway lines in that ci|y beoause he "talked too much." The young man tbought Jt very unfair to be out off for such a cause, but a hundred passengers, more or less, who had been annoyed by the man's familiarity, ban ter, and smart insolenoe knew that the punishment wae richly merited. It wasn't the quantity, but tbJ quality,and tone of bin remarks th%t made pim 4i#~ agreeable and many, who disliked to complain of one who was working'hard for his living, doubtless felt relieved When be stepped down and out.

There are"oertain places where patience an^ppli|en«ff ffe aJpafgn- of ne essslty if one would suooeed. The clerks in a retail dry goods store, the officials of our railways, the employes of hotels, and, indeed, all whose'business depends on those who oome in constant contact with them, must be affable if they would succeed.

The importance'of thii'Is well expressed in a recent decision of the Mas sachusetts SupremeJCourt, where a clerk of a hotel sued his employers for breach of contract, they having discharged him before the period covered' by the contract had expired. Some of the points may seem strained, but the evidence was before the court, and, probably, showed that the familiarity spoken of was observed toward those to whom it was disagreeable and who did nothing to invite it. The oourt said:

In this oase the plaintiff was engaged for the term of one year to act as clerk in the defendant's hotel. At the expiratio of one month he was discharged, on the groupd that his manner of address to guests and others was disoourteous and insulting. He pleads competency to discbarge the duties that he never meant to be djscourtepu* or insulting that his manner of address was customary, and he now seeks to recover damages for breaoh of contract.

It is admitted tbat he was in the habit of addressing guests and others either by their Christian.or surnames only. To address a person by Jiis Christian name, unless the parties .have been intimately connected, sodaliy and^dtherwise, is uncalled for famittarity, and, therefore,'insulting to tfite pirtjr aa&tataed. To address a party,by his surname only, shows a want of respect, and would imply that the party so addressed was beneath the party addressing therefore it is discourteous, would be considered insulting. To speak of employers by their surnames only, shows a great want of respect on the part of the employe toward the employer. As for custom, it has not been proven on the oontrary, it has been shewn that'it is not customary among, people having any pretensions to gentility it may be customary for a person to address his junior clerks, or under servants, by their Christian or surnames, but to address others so shows a want of respect, and the party so addressed would naturally evade contact in the future with anyope who had previously so addreseed him. The chief requirements of clerk are to forward his employer's interests that the plaintiff's action in this cue, tended to injure them hafc been clearly shown, no matter how unintentional it*might have been on his part. It is jufct as easy to say Mr. Smith er Mr. Jones, as Smith, Jonee, Sam, or Jack politeness costs nothing. In this esse the want of it ha« cost the plaintiff the loss tff his situation.

TO WIVES ONLY !$

•INFALLIBLE PRESCRIPTION FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF HUSBANDS,

Jood, Bad and Indifferent.

T6 my 16ng-suffering sisters: As. it is too late for you to take advantage of the suggestions recently given in this paper, under the heading of "A Woman's Opinions,^ in rpgard .tQ.the selection of a husband—as yours «re al^dy selected, and you most make the best of it—and, as many of you are pasting through just quch "trials and annoyances" as the same writer depicted so well, I feel It my dnty to give you the following prescriptions, which I have withheld for lot these many years. They were hsnded down to me from msny generations back, possibly from Adam. The language in the original manuscript is qtpaint, but I will try to give the substance in modern parlanoe. The diagnosis of each ease is given, and the cure. Each wife must judge which suits the care on her hands. Some cases are complicated and require complex treatment. The diagnosis of each case and the necessary prescription will follow in order:

lusband who is g&Nl behMp it. |He |ras a model into a model man, and is

First, the bus! cause be cfti't boy, grew up now a model husband. Circumstances do not affect this quality in him—it is a fast color and warranted, not to fade. (NOTK.—AS the wives described in this case are now obeolfete Itbtuki will tee the third person.) No matter if the wife is a perfect shrew, scolding from morning tilt flight (this fs only tradition), he is ss lovely as a summer day. He may be blessed with one of tboee painfully neat wives, who shakes the carpets, washes the windows, scrubs the pavements, soours the teakettle, and when done begins over again. It is dust, shake, slop, and scour, from January tili Deoember, but he ia always June. This kind does not need much management. Blessed is the wife of one of this kind!

Second, the one who is good when everything'pleaees him. If the breakfast is to his liking, the dinner the one he made up his mind be wanted, the supper to his taste if, on coming in the evening, everything be wants is at hand, and wife and children near to wait on him, he is very, very good. He

is easily managed. Continue to have break fas tM, dinners and suppers to please wait on the dear roan at all times. You may have had a hard day with baby, and poor help in the kitchen, too but what of tbatf Does be not allow you all the apendinrTOoney you need? You dress better'then your neighbors. What more do you want? Repeat the dose three timea a day, and broken doses from supper till bedtime.

Third, the husband who likes to have his own way. Ifo matter if he brings homeoompauy to dinner on "blue Mon day" aqpept ^el^flToHojTmeeklj, and do pot let the poor man know that it is any.trouble ,t phauge the tablecloth put on the caster, get but the best knives and borrow a pie of your neighbor. He enjoys lUf you do not. He will require a tablespoonful of,this mixture evetytime he is in the house.

Fourth, the better half who tkuirds at home—eats and sleeps there, only. He comes home when the household is sound aaleep. In the morning be breakfacts with you sometimes, and sway rushes home to dinner and off again makes a flying trip to sugppr/i|nd goodbye till—when 7 Echo answers, when! Manage him in this way. If be is not supplied with a night key, get up out of a warm bed oheerfully, no matter If i^ is so oold that you shake your teeth out (if of tbat kind), and let the poor man in "Business" has kep| hitp oat, or the papers of "that case" had to be made out. He is sensitive—do not hurt his feelings by,.doubting bis word. Have pity for a man who has to work night and day for you and the children. Don't excite him—that overtaxed brain cannot stand it. Have a dainty break fast ready for him after these nights of toil. After the children are off to school, it will be a pastime for you, and a labor of love besides. Continue this simple treatment and all is well.

Fifth, the one—well, for want of a better name we will call him "a-rolllng-stone gathera-BO-moas-huabandt',-- ~Yoa are settled in a nleasapt homeland *hav» gathered aHofcnif yorf tho& th(Sng§~yojt enjoy most. The children are in school, and you live so qear "mother" tbat you can see her every day. You are happy, and yfjtaw hushahd stents t6 |njp/tlie situation, too but if h^ &>mW Hotrfe some day and tells you tbat be has sold yoar pleasant heme to Mr. Smith, add that the deed will be ready for your signature to-morrow do it oheerfully, wheii called upon, and then if he says to be ready to be off to Eamschatka or New Zealand, do not offer an objection, but believe What be says, and expect to be "rollling in wealth" before six months. Not a baf case. A weak tea of submission administered .when the spasm of change comes oh is all that is needed—however, you will .have to drink the tea. The effect is magical. P. S.-Go With,hitoo the efifle^of tW earth if he dMIHH 9ixth, thestays-a^hoitt!^—4^ rare kind, Ilplfcmti liuniu IHDWIJ UlUU placegaltoi busineqsls^one. He b|ifgpjhqpe tjpe daily papers, which he reads—aloud O no| his throat is tender, ^le likes quiet, too so if the children want to sit up awhile after supper, see tbat they do not disturb "father." If you enjoy reading, you can now Indulge if not, it Is a splendid time to get the week's mending bed have a Qnakerr meeting al| t& yodrielvee and you cao reflect1 meanwhile how much betfeir yon art off than your neighboE Mrs. Jones, whose husband is never home hi the eyenlng... Be content to spend yoCDr 4xme, snd

Seventh, the Above husband is often of mature age, and you may be the second or third partner of his ''joys snd sorrows,"and may still have a taste^or the opera may like to hear the popular lecturers, and still enjoy a star in the draih'atlb #t»rld. *He Uok ybu to tboee places before you promised to "love, honor andj»#Jt|tt yoU n|ver Itnew how his offjfcnes #rote#ed l^ainst it, in the rtfiffifiltlc'pains which always follAretf^fce unpsoal dissipation). Now "folly," "waste of can't win back bis old-time indulgence by flair means, there is bnfcfcilsremedy left. Apply a counter ffritUit la.this way:—go Ou? with 'Cousin Ibttitflie" to the next operi. RepeaT«e|gtoe often. |f this dees not maiorjpfoti In **old man's darling," and he elave,w the best you can doTs to settle down into a staid, good housekeeper, and you will find that you have a good, staid husband.

Eighth, the "chronic grumbler" comes to the front. The meaning of the word, we know, is of long standing—therefore more difficult of cure. PfcUenoe as well as skill required. RemedyLet him grumble all he pleasee, and try to please him all the same. Study his likes and dislikee, and practioe the one and avoid the other, and all will be well with the —grumbler. Imagine your whilom busband sitting down to breakfast and saying, "My dear, this coffee Is delicious or, "My love, this stake is done to a turn." Would not thoughts of "insane asylum" flash through your brain 7 and the agony of a oomiog parting reach your soul Let the dear old grumbler keep In bis normal condition, and grumble to his heart's content but see* that you are not his counterpart—a decided contrast Is all that is needed to make life one long, summer day.

Ninth, the hilarious husband, and one very difficult of cure. He never remembers that you have nerves will laugh when you feel like cryiug. When yon tell him that "Everything has gone wrong to-day," he will say "Never mind better luck to-morrow." Even if the baby has upeet the ink, the pudding is burnt, the bread heavy, or the starch

VgF-"1^ V-V*iT5r^«*

sticks—grievances enough to tet a sane woman wtyd,—it is all the same—he only laughs. An almost hopeless oase, yet can be cured. If he ie in exuberant spirits—as be usually is—try to tone them down to the level of your ownbeing sure tbat yours are above "low water mark." To his hearty laugh respond with a merry one, if you can, and if you can't, do the beet you can. The following tonic will complete the cure. An ounce of good humor, two ounces of makethe-best-6f-every thing, dissolved in a pint of cheerfulness. "Strange but true," to cure your husband, y9u mpst take the medicine.

Tenth, the most unyielding case of all. Your husband, previous to your marriage, was fond of society, and the ohange matrimony has made is very great. Think of all he haa given up, and all for you. He was president of the O. T. M. Club, and a member of ever so many others, dancing, shooting, and what-not. Do you ever think that you take the plaoe of all of these how He enjoys music,—indulge him. He is fond of reading—read with him. He does not enjoy humdrum evenings—make them pleasant. If he wante you to attend a nice entertainment with him, please bim, even if you would rather, got your mending done. If be wietfos to look in upon his pld dancing club, go with him even if it is across to do so. Make ypurself attractive in dress, even if you do not like being "fixed up." Remember you must do this in order to make even a tolerable husband of him. If this fails, there to a lint remedy. As desperate diseases require desperate remedies, nerve yourself to the desperate task of administering the last desperate remedy. He may struggle—prepare yourself for this by sitting very near him—-so near that you aau smooth his hair-r—this hss a soothing effect—or, if he hssn*t any, rub the spot "where the hair ought to grow." Watch carefully the changes, and a# soon as you think he can bearlt, kise-^ there!—I am ashamed to offer this to you, but the oase demands it—kiss him on one cheek! note every ohange in his countenance and when yon think hecan bear it, repeat the dose. If* after all this trial to your feelings, you are fearful a cure is not complete kirn him under his mustache, and tell him thiit he is the darlingeet, good-for-nothingest old dear in the world and if this does not make him ashamed of himself) and cause him to mend his pays, nothing Willi

These are a few of the numberless prescriptions in my possession the rest I may give you at a future tithe. If. my long suffering sisters, any one* of you finds, that by following these prescriptions, you have had a good busband all the time, but did not know how to manage him, I shall consider myself amply-repaid, and will feel that I have noW acted on the principle of the "greatest good to the greatest number," and my oonsoience will cease to upbraid mefor k&plngtbem from you all these years. Yours in sympathy,
