never had a good record for
sobriety and it would seem to be getting worse instead of better. In 1860 the amount spent for liquor averaged $14,62 per capital while in 1S76, the average was f2225. _______________
NEARLY fourteen hundred bills were Introduced in the lower bouse of Congress last Monday, an average of about five to each member. Eviden ly the country is not going to be allowed to go to the "demnition bow-wows" just yet.
THE New York World has felt the business pulse of the country, wher* it throb? in the chief business centers, and pronounces the business revival of 1879 a real one, indicating "an early renewal of our national progress and prosperity on an extended scale." That is just what The Mail has been saying substan tially all along.
A WASHINGTON correspondent says that ironmasters report a greater demand for railroad iron and steel than was ever before known in this country, and that more miles of track will be laid during' the present year than in any former one. This is perhaps an exaggerated report, but it at least indicates a great and substantial improvement in the but* idition of the country.
T*. uiiesr. of this week the large Catholic 70-varsity of Notre Dame, near South Bend, Indiana, was totally de stroyed by fire, together with about 25,000 volumes in the libraries and sever teen pianos and other musical instruments in the music ball. The fire is thought to have originated from spontaneous combustion in the pitch and gravel roof. The loss is estimated at |200,000, partly covered by insurance.
GEN. GARFIELD has introduced a bill In the House to appropriate $75,000 for the relief of the destitute colored emigrants from the South, to be disbursed by the war department. The propriety of the government taking a hand in this matter may well be questioned. Donbtless if there is any real and urgent need ot assistance in this direotion the need will be met by the liberal contributions of private citizens, as was done in the yellow fever epidemic. A little organized effort will accomplish the end.
THE Indianapolis Journal of Wednesday published twenty oulumns of interviews by its correspondents with leading business and professional men in various parts of the State, as to their choice (of a Republican candidate for President ill 1880. The persons interviewed were not politicians. The result •was as follows: for Grant, about 75 per oent for Sherman, 15 per cent the re mainderdivided between Blaine, Conkling, Wa8hburne, Harrison, Garfield and others.
THE archery mania bids fair to outrun the croquet madness of a few years ago. The manufacturers of bows, arrows, et cetera, are putting out flaming advertisements of their wares, and it is evident from the competition that no small demand is being created for this line of merchandise. The change of ta&to is a good one. From the insipidity of croquet to the exhilaration of archery (as Maurioe Thompson paints it) is substan tial progress. It is as muoh a ladies' game as croquet and is vastly more bon eficial, affording healthful exercise to the muscles of the chest and trnnk. If the increased demand for archery goods will have the effect of bringing prices down to reasonable limits, nobody will bave any cause to complain of the new game. .______
THE lakes around Laporte are drying up so rapidly that the people of tuat city are much concerned about the matter. Carriages can now be driven where six yearn ago there was water enough to float pleasure steamboats. The loss of water is accounted upon various theories, vix: that the large quantities of ice taken from the lakes diminishes the water that the cultivation of the surrounding county causes evaporation to be more rapid than formerly and that the draining of the country into the Kankakee river is diminishing the natural supply of water to the lakes. The Laporte lakes only furnish another Illustration of the important changes produced by the clearing up a wooden country and putting It under thorough cultivation.

WEDNESDAY night, while Edwin Booth was playing in the last act of Richard II, at MeVieker'a Theatre, in Chicago, a man in the gallery fired two shots at him. Booth displayed great nerve and coolness, sitting still between the first ancl seoond shots and then advancing towards the would-be assassin and pointing him out. After the fellow was arrested the play proceeded to its end. The man avowed bis intention of killing Booth, but gave no satisfactory reason for his act, except that Booth was inferior to Lawrence Barrett in the role ofRiohelieu. He turned out to be a stage-struck dry-goods clerk, and*probably supposed he was enacting a role of great daring and heroism. .'
A GOOD deal of sport was made when Col. R. W. Thompson was appointed Secretary of the Navy, because of the fact that he had always lived in an inland town. But it soon became known that "Uncle Dick" was no mero figure-head. He set to work at once to thoroughly master all the details of the office, visited the various navy yards in person, and began to straighten up many things that were crooked. After two years of faithful service it Is oonceded on all hands that Secretary Thompson is one of the most efficient officers that has ever had charge of the navy, and wo can see no reason why he has not a fair.show of developing into a first-class dark horse for the Presidential race of 1880. We move that his name be added to the list.
Dr. HOLLAND, in a suggestive article on church music, deprecates the movement toward congregational singing. He thinks the tendency is not only to depreciate the quality of the music^ but the importance of it, a
:i,
to make the
public worship much less tractive to the outside wotld which it is the duty and policy of the church to attract and influence. It is certain that tho churches which have the best music, other things being equal, are the most largely attended and it will always be so. Congregational singing (where it is exclusive and not aided by a choir or quartette) means the drawling out of the same old tunes that were old a hundred years ago of which everybody has 'become thoroughly tired. There is no inspiration in it for those who sing and no pleasure for those who listen. It hinders rather than helps the service whereas good music well |rendered by a disciplined choir, is full of pleasure, inspiration and no worship.
CJR UELTY TO ANIMALS. The authorities at Richmond, Ind., the other day/ inspected the horses of the Richmond Street Railroad Company, and found two of them dead—starved to death, apparently! Several others were barely able to stand. They had been fed on a poor quality of bran or middlings, and second class hay. But few, or any of the horses belonging to the company were in a condition to be worked. We have no reason to complain of the street railroad company here on this score but there are other parties in our midst who should be handled for their treatment of horses and other stock with which they have been entrusted. The law on the subject of cruelty to animals is plain, and should be enforced. The act approved March 10, 1873, provides that every person who shall cruelly beat or torture, or over-drive any horse or other animal, whether belonging to himself or another, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction, shall be fined in any sum not exceeding one hundred dollars.
TREATMENT OF LA WNS. Our people have a good deal to learn yet of the art of beautifying the surroundings of their homes. It took a good while to reach an appreciation of a well kept lawn, and now that we have attained to that, there is something still ahead. There are now many beautiful lawns to be seen, and certainly they are so beautiful that nothing else can ever take their place. Nothing is more pleasing to the eye than a well graded pieoe of ground, carpeted with a close, green turf. But even this beauty may be hightened by the judicious introduction of trees and shrnbbery not, indeed, in ^e way it is usually done—by scattering fruit trees or evergreens throughout the entire plat. Such an arraugement only serves to shade and ruin the grass which is to bo preserved at every sacrifice. But the lawn will not be injured by planting shrubs and dwarf trees mainly about the edges, with a few interspersed in the body of the lawn. By proper pruning each season they can be kept within the desired size, and their beauty will be thus increased rather thun injured. Many rich specimens of shrubs can be procured at a very moderate cost, considering the elegance of them. Some of the.spireas (of which there are many varieties) are of rare beauty. One has golden leaves, studded in June with white flowers. Another is covered with delicate yellowish-green leaves which in the late fall flush with pink and crimson tints. An exquisite shrub is the Japan Judas tree, which is wreathed in clusters of red flowers before the leaves appear. There are scores of shrubs like these, which a little study of the subject and consultation of nursery catalogues will make familiar. Imagine a handsome lawn tastefully decorated and set in with rare shrubbery of various forms and colors, grouped in masses to produce harmonious effects, and it will require no argument to prove its superiority over one that is not thus decorated. As a picture is seen to best ad vantage in a suitable frame, so the beauty of a lawn will be hightened by these bright reliefs. But good taste and some knowledge of the subject are required to attain satisfactory results, and these must be gained

JOHN A. JUX,
General John A. Dix died ait His home in New York City, on Monday, in his eighty-first year. Few men have held so many high public positions and filled them with equal ability and integrity. Elected Secretary of State, of New York, at the age of 35, he followed this with a term in the legislature, and In 1845 was elected to fill a vacancy in the United States Senate. In 1660 he became Seoretary of the Treasury, and it was at this time that he gave the order with vrbioh his name will be linked for all time to come. He dispatched W. H. Jones, as special agent of the Treasury department, to New Orleans to secure some revenue cutters which the secessionists had seized. Jone3 ordered the commander of one of the cutters to proceed to New York, but the captain, Breshwood, refused to obey the order. Jones telegraphed the situation to Secretary Dix and from him received the following reply: "Tell Lieutenant Caldwell to arrest Captain Breshwood, assume command of the cutter and obey the order through you. If Captain Breshwood. after arrest, undertakes to interfere with the command of the cutter, tell Lieutenant Caldwell to conHider him as a mutineer and treat him accordingly. If any one attempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot."
This order produced the greatest enthusiasm and the words were on everybody's lips throughout the North. He was a general in the army during the war, was appointed minister to France by President Johnson, and in 1872 was elected Governor of New York, being then 74 years old. He is also the author of a couple books of traveljin Spain and Italy.
GETTING TIRED OF INGERSOLL. Two weeks ago Col. Bob Ingersoll lectured at his old home, Peoria, Ills., on "Some Mistakes of Moses." The Saturday Evening Call has always been friendly to the Colonel, and in the early days of its publication received much of its notoriety in printing his lectures and peculiar views. On this occasion it pub lishes his lecture in full, but prefaces it with this significant comment: "Despite all the eloquence, the wit, the pathos and magnetic power of Col. Ingersoll, no better evidence is needed of the fact that the people are becoming tired of the ceaseless reiteration of his peculiar views concerning God and the Bible, than the audience at Rouse's Hall last evening. The rows upon rows of vacant seats in parquet and gallery attested the fact that the glamor of his eloquence and his noble physical presence, ctfa no longer make attractive, even in bis old home, the bigotry and intolerance with which he assails the bigotry and intolerance of the churches, and ridicules the 'mistakes of Moses' and the superstition and credulity of believers in God and the Bible. Ingersoll is as intolerant as was the church when Servetus was burned at the stake, It may be that he is but the natural result of the reaction upon a proud, large hearted and independent thinker but the church has outgrown that spirit."
In this connection we print below some extracts from a sermon delivered by Prof. Swing, at Chicago Sunday before last, and printed in the Inter Ocean, which paper with truth remarks that it is the the kind of sermon that tells on public sentiment. There are passages that are severe on Ingersoll, but they are passages that he himself can admire even while being corrected by them.
Professor Swing speaks of Ingersoll as a lawyer trained to look upon one side only of a case, and says:
Men trained in a profession come by degrees into the profession's obannel, and flow only in the one direction, and always between the same banks. The master of a learned profession at last becomes its slave. He who follows faithfully any calling wears at last a soul of that oalling's shape. You remember the death scene of the poor old schoolmaster. He had assembled the boys and girls in the winter mornings, and bad dismi^ed them winter evenings after sundi* and had done this for fifty long ye Are. One winter Monday he did not appear. Death had struck his old and feeble pulse but, dying, his mind followed its beautiful £ut narrow river bed, and bis last words were: "It is growing dark, the school is dismissed let the girls pass out first."
Men of intense emotional power like Mr. Ingersoll, and men who, like him, have hearts as full of colors as a painter's shop, are wont beyond common to pour their passion upon one object rather than diffuse it all over the world. These can awaken, and entertain, and shake, and unsettle, but then, alter it is over, we all must seek for guides men who are calmer, and who spread gentler tints with their brush. I am, therefore, of the opinion that none of us should follow any one man, but rather all men should seek that general impression, that wide reaching common sense which knows little of ecstasy, and little of despair.
Professor Swing go*« on to say that Colonel Ingersoll's addresses "are wonderful concentrations *)f wit, and fun, and teats, and logic, Mt concentrations upon minor points
They
are severe
upon a little group of men, upon literal
ists, and old Calvinists, and old popes, and old monks, bnt they do not weigh and measure fully the religion of such
being
as
Jesus Christ."
a
"There is, it is true," continues Professor Swing, "a time and place for irony, bnt after it has done its work amid the accidental of a tim-3 or a place, there remains yet much to be studied by the sober intellect and lofed by the heart which really cares for the useful and the true. Above the brambles and thorns of legend, at which the narrow eye nay laugh, there rises up from the Mosaic soil a growth of moral truth that catches at last full sunshine and fall breese a growth that will long make a good shadow for the graves of Christian and infidel beneath."
We cannot resist reproducing farther.
extracts from this admirable sermon. Speaking of the narrow ground trodden by Ingersoll, Mr. Swing says:
The method of the addresses is very defective. It is not a wide survey of a two thousand year period in human civilization, a period when the Hebrews were making imperishable the good of the Egyptians who were dying from vices and despotism, but is only the ramble of a satirist having a Bbarp eye for defects and a most ready tongue. All the by-gone periods may be passed over in two manners. We may go forth for our laughter or for our penslveness and wisdom. Juvenal saw old Rome full of dissolute men and women. Virgil saw It full of literature. Tacitus found it uot destitute of heroes and when Juvenal found the husbands all debauchees, and the wives all hypocrites,, there the most calm and elegant historians found the most excellent Agricola, and found a wife of spotless fame in the daughter a
Thus the ideas of "Moses", and "Church," and "Heaven," and "God" lie before Mr. Ingersoll to be pictured by his skillful derision, but after the artist has drawn his Puritanlo Hebrew and his absurd Heaven, and has painted his little gods, and has limned his old papal Heaven and hell, another scene opens, and there untarnished are the deep things of right and wrong, the immortal hopes of man, and a Heavenly Father which cannot be placed upon jester's canvas.
The truth is, we must move through the present and the past with both eyes open, and with a mind willing to know all and to draw a conclusion from the whole combined cloud of witnesses. The author of the addresses does not do this. He does not make a wide survey nor draw conclusions from widely scattered facts, and hence, after he has spoken about the horrors of the Mosaic age, or of the church, there remains that
-7 the
intellect, stimulating the arts, inspiring good works, elevating the life of the living, by settling before man a God and a future existence. Our Christianity has a Hebrew origin. The Sermon on the Mount was begun by Moses.

As
Mr. Ingersoll does not know whence man came, so he knows not whither he goes, and therefore he must hitnself stand, and permit others to stand, in the presence of death as in the presence of a great mystery that, at least, should silence all dogmatism of priest or infidel. The logic of the addresses may be fitted for the common jury, but they are too rude for man who is weeping his way along between birth and death.
Logic cannot make such short work of the religious sentiments. Mr. Ingersoll says: "If you can ever find a God, just let me know, and I shall kneel. Until then I shall stand erect." What injustice to that delicate form of reason, which has moved the world for, perhaps, 10,000 years! We do not propose to find God or a future life. What the world has found long since is the deep hope in a God, and the measureless hope that the dying loved ones of the world will meet in a land that is better. Nobody has come to the human race to let it know that a God has been found, but manv have come to it saying, "My dear children, let us trust that all this matchless universe came from a Creator, and that from Him we also came." So many and so holy were these voices, and so responsive was the heart, that upon this trust the living and the dying have knelt, and have told their longings to the Invisible. The human race has ifot been haughty. It has been willing to kneel. Its heart has never been stone nor its knees brass. It has stood erect in battle, where liberty was to be won it has been as erect as an infidel when a bosom was to be bared for arrows or bullets, or when the neck was to be unclothed for the fatal ax, but in moments of hope and longing it has be^t willingly in prayer,
Citizens' Ticket.V
.-I*.'
TO THE VOTERS OF THE CITY OF TERRE HAUTE.
For several years pa9t the citizens of Terre Haute have seen and sorely felt the want of a better and a more economical administration of the financial and other affairs of the city, and have thus been forced to the conclusion that the Democratic party is not reliable in their professions and promises of "retrenchment and reform," as the follow ing facts will fully demonstrate:
In 1874, when labor commanded a fair remuneration, and real and personal property bore a higher estimated rate of value than at the present date, the real estate within the city limits was assessed at 19,892,260, and the personal property at 84,225,800.13. Upon this assessment was levied a tax of $139,249.78, to which was added a poll tax of fl,758, and a dog tax of $1,052, making a total levy of tax for 1874 of $142,059.78.
In 1878 the levy was 1 per cent, the same as in 1874, and the total amount of the levy varied but $6,759,12 from the total levy of 1874. However, this discrepancy may arise, the per cent levied was the same in the two years alluded to. Now, when it is considered that in the past year labor has been reduced more than one-half from what it commanded in 1874, it is evident that the laboring classes of our city have not received that recognition that they deserve, and in justice had a right to expect, from the partv in power who bave had control of our city government for the past few years. Notwithstanding the heavy reduction in labor, and the decline in the value of real estate, this Democratic party, who howl the loudest for "retrenchment and reform," have made ne difference in the assessment or the levy
8t
Near |700 have been filched from the city treasury without law or precedent to justify tke act, and given to men to spend in revelry while pretending to influence the legislature of our State in the passage of a legalizing act in the interest of our city.
The floating and bonded debt of the city have been largelyincreae ed. Changes bare t» ad fire dapartme est of the Democ this ruling inexpe taken the places of those of long experi-

large number of our citizens to desire a change in the interest of the laboring classes and the tax payers of the city of Terre Hsute, snd for this purpose the following ticket has been made by the citizens, with the sole object of bringing about an economical administration or city affairs, and it is now presented for the endorsement of all those who hold the vital interests and the good name of our city, at home and abroad, of more importance than the mere triumph of party. The following is the

The men thus put forward to fill the offices are worthy and above reproach. Many have been tried, and are wellknown to the voters of Terre Haute, and it is honestly asserted that in the success of this ticket rests the only hope of a change in the city government that will inure to the benefit of all classes, ttie poor as well as the rich, and the laborer as well as the manufacturer, and it is sincerely hoped that the tax payers of the city of Terre Haute will seriously consider the merits of the "Citizens' Ticket" before they cast their votes on Tuesday, Mav 6th, 1879, as the name of every man thus put forward for your support is a guarantee that cur city affairs will be honorably and fairly administered.
The following resolutions were adopted at a meeting of the citizens held at the court house last March:
Whereas, The improvident and reckless management of the city government by the party in power, admonishes us that a change is absolutely necessary, and
Whereas, The value o£ labor and property have greatly decreased, and the ability of the people to pay their taxes alarmingly diminished, and
Whereas, The city government Is run just as expensively as it was in the flush times of 1873, therefore be it
Resolved, That we are in favor of electing men to fill the offices who will pledge themselves to carry out the following reforms: 1. A reduction of salaries to correspond with the reduced value of labor and property. 2. A reduction in the number of city officials. 3. A reduction in the rate of taxation to correspond with the reduced price of property and labor. 4. Rigid economy in all departments of the city government. 5. Strict examination of all corporations is which the city has an interest. 6. Not another dollar of the people's money for corrupting legislators.

WE STAND
At the head of the trade—for in advance of all competition, and that WE, and WE ALONE, are entitled to the credit of havinst broken the back of high prices» and placed Clothing and Furnishing Goods of the best quality within the reach of all. No Man, Boy or Child in want of Clothing should spend one oent of their: money until they have visited our store. Look over our stock. Seeing is believing.
We don't claim to perform any miracles In the way of offering prices at less than they can be manufacturen for, but what we DO propose Is this, that no man with the cash in hand need pay the price heretofore asked before we pitched our tent in your midst. A certain store (no name need be mentioned) who bad things pretty well his own way, seemed to take advantage of his situation, and led people to suppose that they bad to pay *25.00 for a ready made suit, and »40, *42, and even as high as |45 for an ordinary suit made to his measure, and his late actions remind one of a "canine whose tail has been trodden on."
Our prices are so low that sometimes our customers doubt whether the quality can be the same as they have seen elsewhere marked higher. We are willing to sell at the smallest margin possible. Hence, we offer our customers, the best value for their money.
