EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

2KRRE HAUTE, MARCH 22, 1879

CO ONI BY BOYS.

It is stated by those who have observed tbe fact that the most successful men In business and the most eminent in the learned professions have been men who grew to manhood In the country. This may seem a startling statement to those who have paid no special attention to the matter, as tbe general impression is that city lads are much smarter than country lads, and, of oonsequenoe, make smarter men. It is thought that there is something in the very atmosphere of the city which developes shrewdness and sagacity, and that city people are vastly "sharper" than their oountry oouslns, This is the prevailing opinion and, in a certain sense, it is true. Unquestionably the drive and bustle of tbe town, the rapid movements of Us vehicles and people, business-like way in which things are done, have a tendency to make men quick, keen and alert. Even tbe countrymaa, when be comes upon the busy streets, unconsciously imbibes something of tbe bustling spirit around him and moves at a brisker pace much more is be affected by this atmosphere who all his life lives in it.

That tbe people of tbe town are more shrewd and nimble than the denizens of tbe oountry, is not to be denied. But it does not follow that they are for this reason more likely to suoceed in any large sense. In fact, as above stated, tbe reverse seems to be the case. A boy shut in constantly between brick walls and seeing tbe sky only in patches above tbe bouses, is likely to become cramped and artificial. He breathes all tbe time an artificial atmosphere. He sees the creations of men—tbe work of art rather than of nature. The tendency of such food is to make him shrewd but shallow. His nature is not symmetrically developed it lacks breadth and fulness. By reason of this lack he is not capable of conducting great enter prises.

It is very different with the boy who is born and reared in tbe oountry. He is surrounded on all sides by the works, not of m'en, but of nature. Tbe infinite sky hangs over him every day of bis life he sees it from horizon to horizon. He sees tbe sua rise .and set, the fierce thunderstorm sweep over the landscape. He becomes a student of birds and animals. He notes the changing seasons. There is no hnrry in his tife plenty of time to do all that is to be done. There is much of solitude for him, ample opportunities for undisturbed thought. As- he follows the plow through tbe long days lie can reflect and ponder to hid heart's content. If he has fewer ideas of other men's, there is the greater need for originating some of his own. If he reads less than tbe city lad, be thinks' ihbte and it is doubtful if tbere is any menial discipline equal to that of steady and bard thinking. He cannot become artificial because there is no art around him. Living under the open sky the panorama of nature is conr tinually spread out before his eyes he cannot be anything but natural. Under such influences a boy develops originality. Tbere is nothing to turn tbe bent of bis genius. Whatever there is in him grows naturally and healthfully. There is nothing in the world of art that does not sink into utter insignificance when compared with tbe grandeur of nature therefore the country boy, living ever in (be prase noe of nature, finds the higher faculties of his mind

fe6n$tatltly

appealed to.

A boy so reared may, when be becomes a man, spend his whole life in the country, plowing, sowing and reaping, and never be known -outside of bis immediate neighborhood. Bat if be be endowed naturally with good faculties circumstances bring him into contact with large enterprises, the eflect of his early schooling will soon display itself. He will be found to possess a breadth and sagacity far beyond that of ordinary men. He will take hold of affairs in an original way, as with the band of a master. He is far-seeing can look ahead and discover profitable eaterprises and draw them to him. He sees things in a large way because he has been accustomed to looking at great objects. Such a theory may account for the fact—if fact it be—that country boys succeed better in a large way than those who are reared in towns and cities.

RETURNING PROSPERITY. The New York Times has been gathering statistios of the real condition of business throughout tbe country and In its issue of Weduesday last published reports from fourteen States and from the business centers of those States, being the results of interviews by its correspondents with prominent men in every branch of industry. Tbe Times saya that the expressions obtained are the more trustworthy because each inquirer warn pursuing his investigation entirely unbiased and independent of any other. The information thns obtained is of a very satisfactory and encouraging obaraoter. Tbere are few branches of trade that do not show improvement, and oven in these tbe inactivity is local. Wholesale dealers generally report an increase in sales of from ten to thirty per cent. Retail dealers are baying more freely and collec tionsaro better than at any time since the psnic. Manufacturers in the North and West are represented to be generally flourishing, the exoeptions being

leather and pig-iron. Nearly all the factories are running on fuli time and the flouring mills find difflcuty in keeping up with their orders. The silk mills in New Jersey and Oonneottcot are running to their full capacity, and the various manufactories of Newark and Paterson are all busy.

The Times, in its editorial summary of the reports, says "Iron mills that have been idle or running on half time are resuming, and have orders far ahead. Boot and shoe shops are pre paring for an increased demand of from 20 to 30 per cent. Building is being pushed to an extent quite unknown. In Ohio, tbe acreage devoted to, wheat is estimated to have increased some 18 per cent, though the fruit crop is umpromising. The trade with the South aud the interior trade of the cities in the State is larger by from 10 to 25 per cent than la$t yea(., Xhj| pork packers, for tbe flrst time in'four years, are reaping a profit from tbeir ventures. Tbe iron manufacturers are running on full time, with orders in ad«, vanoe of tbeir capacity. In Indiana, tbe rolling mills, lumber dealers, and ma cbinery makers are actively ocuupied, while tbe jobbing trade is fair, and collections are good." u..'-'•/

Chicago reports an active emigration to the West, with an increasing demand for machinery and building materials. Jobbers estimate the volume of trade at from 20 to 40 per cent, larger than last year, and better payments. In MtchigaOj tbe lumber business is active and prosperous.

In general there are more staple goods and fewer luxuries sold, and many persons are buying at reduoed rates for cash. There is an almost entire absence of speculative spirit, wbicb is a good sign. Business credit is much improved) payments are more prompt, and failures are becoming far less frequent.

These are certainly very encouraging signs, and may well be taken as indications of the return of national prosperity. ______________

ANTI-TREATING societies are being organiz9d in various parts of the country. Tbe members bind themselves not to pay for their drinks. This is a sensible movement, and we will take pleasure in recording the organization of such a society here in Terre Haute. Two-thirds or more of intemperance, springs directly from tbe dead-beaft practice of getting "treated" It follows, of course, that tbe man who is treated must treat. Men drink when they are not thirsty and spend money when they cannot afford it simply to conform to* this absurd and disreputable practice. The appetite for liquor which so often masters and finally slays its victims is in many cases, the outgrowth of the' treating nuisance. There are men who have tbe moral stamina, the back-bone, to decline when invited to drink or to ."stand treat but there are a great many "who have not. They weakly yield to every invitation and get befogged before they know it. With or without the aid of the anti-treating society men of self-respect and courage

ought to- set childish crowd and Their manl)opd ogpes^o^t (fpjl proportion as they fall in wi'th the habit. A direct yes! or no I «ven, has beoome impossible. Organization ja always valuable in carrying out any movement, and tbe moral support of association with a society will help a good many who take the anti-treating obligation to resist the pressure of "good fellowship'' or the "yoU liquor me and I'll liquor -. VvUM/. -"J

you" habit.

LARGE numbers of negroes are report-, ed to be moving from Mississippi and Louisiana into Kansas, and probably other Western States. The reason of the migration appears to be that tbeir political rights in the Sotfth are interfered with, and they are desirous of getting into a country wl^rp they ?wJll,not be moiested on adeoflrrit df tbeir political opinion*. It is ie movement'baa grown aM ex ten tr as io c4ub£ apprehension among the planters In portions of tbe States named. And indeed tbe Southern people may well be uneasy if this exodus of tbe oolored population should become genera], for that section of the country would suffer incredible loss frotti"their departure. If the Southerners are wise, they will accord equal political rights and privileges to the colored race and thus offer them a strong inducement to remain where they are and develop tbe country by tbeir labor.

Tans are days of wonderful scientific achievements, The inventive art even comes to the assistance of the patent medicine advertiser. A sample of his work Is btto** us. It reads: "Somebody's child is dying—dying with flush of hope on tiii youpg Usee, and ad indescribable yearning to.live and take an honored places in the world beside the eompaaioneof bis youth. And somebody's mother is thinking of the time when that dear faoe will be hidden where no wreath of hope can brighten it—when her heart and home will be left desolate—because there wss no cure for consumption." At this Juncture tbe patent medicine man steps in and gives tbe child teaspoonful of medicine. Presto! In three days, by tbe olook, tbe child is playing marbles In tbe front

THR Washington Post says that the present year is rich in promise to nearly all of the Industrial and commercial interests of the United States, and the people of all sections are faciug a smiling prospect with less anxiety and more confidence than they have felt st sny period siDce tbe crash of 1873.

ETIQUETTE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Tii# Introduction of the "study of etiquette" into some of tbe public schools of Philadelphia has caused quite adiseossion iu the papers of that oity. Its advocates, however, seem to have tbe best of the argument. One of them forcibly remarks: "We regard tbe acquisition of good manners as of tbe utmost importance to every human being la every sphere of life, since good manners adorn virtue, and even throw a gloss over vice. Many persons suppose that pleasant manners area natural gift, and that everybody knows how to behave him or herself, which is a great error, for often tbe beet and most unselfish people are so deficient in this respect that their society Is regarded as a painful infliction. It is only constant training and association that makes a a polished Jady or gentleman. The publie schools afford a wide field for culture in this respect, where children may be taught bow to enter and leave a room, the ordinary salutation and adieux of social intercourse, and tbe bad habits to be avoided in polite society. Tbere is Do station so low that such a knowledge Will not be of value—tbere is none so high that It may be dispensed with."

It begins to look as If tbe Widow Oliver bad a case against Simon. But we can not see tbe necessity of tele erapbing it over, the face of the earth. Who wants to know of the lecherous doings of an old gray-headed sinner like Cameron, if all the widow says is true, or if it isn't, who want to hear the elanderous allegations, and learn of tbe baseness of womanhood that makes them? It is no pleasant thing to look at it as a matter of taste, not morals to have to take such stuff with one's food, while upon the young, whose innate purity ie yet untarnished, to see it fall like a blight. American newspapers are alone in the disgusting prominence they give to such things as this Cameron trial. The war—the source of so many of our evils, was the main cause of this. It blunted sensibilities, coarsened tastes, and made a demand for sensation, espe dally sensation of a salacious sor£. This had died out in a measure "when the Seecher trial came, and for weeks pouredits flood of nastiness into every house hold in the land making subjects of common discussion things that decency was a stranger to. Now we protest against the Cameron case being prosti tuted to the same purpose. It is easy enough to tell tbe simple facts as matters of n^ws," without adding the details as mattery of scandal.

I don't see anything funny about it, but this is the way it wuz: A passal uv respectable sppearin' men an' wimen met me t'other day on Mane street, an' one uv the men raised his bat perlite like, an' sez to me, sez he, "Whar do you buy yer groceries, ef I mout inquire-?" An' sez I "I buy em at Rippetoe's, wich the same is tbe White Frunt, an' It's tbe best place in town, with

out eny exceptions, to git groceries an' secb, at prices ez is 6iimpin like. Ef ye want groceries, I riocommend ye to go thar." I reckon I spoke a little warm— cause I inost alters do when I speak uv Rippetoe—an' the man kind o' smiled. Sez he, "Don't yon never buy groceries nowhere else?" An'sez I, "Never!" "What," sez he, "never?" "Well!— hardly ever," sez I. An' with that tbe whole bilin' uv 'em commenced to giggle, an' the man I'd been a talkin' to Dust right out—laughed right in my face! It made me hot, an' I jeat tole 'em I thought it wuz a nice way to treat a respectable woman who'd been a tryin' to give 'em information ez 'ud be uv sarvioe to 'em. Then the man axed parditig, and said they'd jest escaped from a ship called tbe Pinatore, an' tbeir minds wuz a little debilitated by it an' I mustn't mind their laughin'—that they knowed Rippetoe and knowed 'at every word I'd said about 'ein wuz so, and that they all traded thar and they hoped I'd overlook tbeir levity—or sumpin' uv that kind—wich uv course I did.
