iOffJBof the strongest indications of the paaslng away of hard times, is the cheerful reports coming from proprietors of summer resorts. It Is a notable fact that in no former year have Terre Haute people been able to do so muck summer travelling.

«Thb libel suit of F. D. Waldron against C. H. Dubois, late proprietor of the Grand Rapids Post, was pot on trial week before last. The jury was out twenty* four hours and failed to agree. Eleven were in favor of acquittal on the ground of "no oause for action," but the twelfth man wanted nominal damages assessed. This is about the way newspaper libel suits usually result. It is hard to convince the average jury that ten cents worth of character has been damaged ten thousand dollars wortk.

Dr. Bkwkktt, a medical professor of some oelebrity, asserts that the tomato, besides being one of the most powerful aperients of the materia medica, is a wonderfully effective curative agent for those affections of the liver and other organs for which calomel is generally ©Deployed. It might, indeed, entirely supercede calomel, and is also a thorough remedy for dyspepsia. The doctor advises its use by everybody at every full meal, either raw, oooked, or in the form of catsop.

Thk Dally Express has been sold to W. R. McKeen and others, the transfer to be made on Monday. The veteran advocate of the Republican party will now return to its old faith, and a very material change in the political complexion ofVlgo county may be expected. Messrs. Smith and Rankin will immediately transfer the Weekly Express to Chicago, where it will hereafter be published. The price paid is said to be •f18.875, which, with the amount of stock already held by Messrs. McKeen and Tuell, represfnte a value of nearly nineteen thousand dollars for the Daily Expresses and its franchises.

Women who want to know what their sex can do should look around them. They will find there are few things that women caril do. Out in California Miss Minnie Austin has an eighty acre fruit farm upon which are growing 306 apricot trees, 400 fig?, 400 prunes and 100 nectarines. There are twenty-eight acres in grapes, yielding annually from thirty to fifty tons of fruit which she converts into raisins. Miss Austin was formerly a teacher in the schools of Chicago and San Francisco, but failing health led her to seek an outdoor life. She converses charmingly and is well up In all the current literature. The road Miss Austin took is open to others.

Thk Richmond Telegram wants 'to know if it isn't about time to^take the farce ol drunkards teaching temperance off the boards. We think it is, and it

would have been better if it had never been put on. Luther Benson is only one of several specimens of temperance apostles who alternate their lectures with periodical sprees. Only a few days ago the writer saw Benson in a state of beastly intoxication, but he has probably sobered off by this time,and mount •d the lecture rcstrum sgsln. Fellows like th^o do the cause of temperance more harm than good, and it is time the gpnu*ne temperance people cot loose from them. "By their fruits ye shall know them," and when the fruit is drunken debauches, often repeated and

oontinued long, the tree is condemned.

Thb "code" "till retains its prestige in the South, and there wsa a real duel fought by two Nashville young men the otb«r day. A quarrel between them Issued in a challenge which was aooepted and revolvers selected as the weapons.

quarter to eight o'clock in the

evening was the time appointed and both parties, with their seconds and surgeons were on hand. As it wss dusk candles were lighted and the combatants took their positions. A discharge of the pistols resulted In wounding one of the parties slightly In the arm, while the other's cost was shot through the shoulder. With nipping so does as this, they ooncloded not to take the risk of a second shot, and •book hands across the bloody chasm. How simple and soul-satisfying to wounded honiwr is the code

P. T. Baksvm, the great showman, baa been sued, In Chicago, by DeHaven, Miles and Height, proprietors of the circus known aa "The Congress of Nations," the damages being laid at |800,ODO, The plaintiff* in the rait claim that Qarnua and his agent, Ooup, hired men to throw the plaintiffs' trains off the track, and injure their horses, and pre-

vent them from reaching the points for which they were billed, and that finally they succeeded in destroying the whole circus, which cost over $200,000, and drove the plaintiffs Into bankruptcy. Ttrts is a singular story, and has rather a Ashy savor to begin with, and Mr. Bar num asserts that there is not a word of troth in it, but that it is a blackmailing scheme gotten up for the purpose of fleecing him. It seems that a year or two since a similar suit was begun in Cincinnati, which resulted in a verdict against Coup for 940,000, but service was ndf obtained on Mr. Baranm in that i^kand hence the present one. At all events it is likely that "the greatest showman on earth" will now have an opportunity of showing exactly bow enterprising he has been In oonduotlng his business. '. 4

The South Bend Register recently gave nojtloe that it would prefer not to have original poetry sent to it, being of the opinion that persons who write poetry for gratuitous publication are seldom poets and could spend their time miych more profitably than in laboringly writing verses. The Register thinks the newspapers do wrong in enoouraging tbem to efforts in this direction. There is a good deal of sense in what the Register says, and while the practice of occasional verse writing is not perhaps to be oondeinned, those who find it plessant to indulge in this way would exhibit better taste by preserving the products of their labors in manuscript, for the perusal of a few intimate and lenient friends, than in rushing for the newspaper office with them. Exhibited in this modest way, they would escape criticism, while heralded to the world they but too frequently serve but to show how poor a versifier may fancy himself a poet and expect fame from that which only produces a laugh at bis expense.

SPBAQ UE-CONKL1NO AMO TJR. The facts which have come out in this, the latest sensation in high life, place Senator Conkling and Mrs. Sprague in a bad light, to say the least of it. Even if no criminal intimacy has existed between them and they have gone no farther than to warmly admire each other, yet their conduct has clearly enough demonstrated that they held the sacred relationship and duties of wife and husband in light esteem.

On the one band it seems that Mr. Conkling has conducted himself in such a manner towards his wife and daughter as to alienate their affections from him to a great extent, refusing to be present at the latter's marriage or to call upon her since, although coming into the immediate vicinity of her home and ail because the husband of her choice did not happen to be as aristocratic as the great Senator thonght be ought to be. '1^1

As to Mrs. Sprague, who Is the daughter of ex-Secretary Chase, it seoms that she Is a very extravagant, ambitious and headstrong woman, who probably married her husband because of his social and financial standing at the time, for be was then a United States Senator and reputed to be very wealthy. Bnt when the great manufacturing house of which he was a member failed and went into the hands of a receiver, Mis. Sirs. Sprague, it would seem, still Insisted upon carrying her ambitioas head as b'igb, and spending as much money as as before, tier husband's desire for a more economical administration of family affairs, until his financial embarrassment was removed/ was disregarded by her, and there sprang up discord and division between them. For several years past she appears to have lived at Washington,while her husband remained at Providence. The strong admiration which has existed between Mr. Conkling and Mrs. Sprague has been a topic of general remark in Washington for several years past, it being alleged that Mrs. Sprague was nearly always In the Senate when the New York Senator was to speak, and that frequent notes were exchanged between them. So often were these performances repeated that they attracted general attention.

At last the outburst oarae, aa It always does, and Mr. Conkling wss ordered out of Mr. Sprague's house with the warning that if he ever crossed the latter's path again he would be a dead man.

Whatever the true fects in the case may be (and there la so small conflict of opinion), the predicament In which Sen •tor Conkling finds himself Is a very unfortunate one just at this time and cannot fall to tarnish bis feme and weaken his influence tn no small degree.

lacBt week, ohlefly from from Delaware *ni Maryland. These first shipments are reported to be of much better qua! lty than those of former years. It is believed the orop of this year will be the largest ever before known, and would likely prove a drug in the market but for the Immense capacities of the canning feotories, which consume vast quantities. Although last year was considered a great apple year, and two fine crops rarely oome in succession, the reports indicate a very fair yield of this most substantial of all the fruits. Pears and plums also promise fine crops. These Indications are drawn from the Southern and Eastern fruit markets, where the largest portion of these fruits are grown.

TERRA HAUTE SATURDAY EVENDTGrlfrL^fl:

PROMOTING MATRIMONY, According to previous announcement tbeaooiety for the promotion of marriage held a public festival, or picnic, at Ihwood Park, Cincinnati, last Sunday. There was a large attendance, the numbers being estimated at 3,000. Three young oouples, all of German extraction, we believe, were joined in wedlock in full view of the assembly. There was much beer drinking and hilarity, but this feature character!*:* every public exhibtlon in Cincinnati. An admission fee of twenty-five cents was obarged, and the society must have realised quite handsomely from the picnic. Ex-Mayor Moore oonfldently prediots ihat there will be a hundred oouples married at the next feetival. The inducements held out to marry in this wsy area dower of 1*25 and no expense for license and preaeher. It 1s a singular enterprise, and, if the marriages Induced by It are Well considered, it may be productive of good results but If, on the other hand, such a publio and spectaoular method of marrying, together with the smsll pecuniary inducements offered, shall cause young people te rush with giddy and thoughtless haste into the heavy responsibilities of wedlock (and there is danger of this), then the society for the promotion of marriage may do more evil than good. Nothing is so benefioial to the Individual and the race as marriago, provided it be entered upon seriously and with a proper sense of its duties and responsibilities—and a proper preparation to discharge tbem. But it is preeminently one of those things which ought not to be gone into hastily or with any undue excitement. When so contracted the most unfortunate results are liable to flow from it—dissatisfaction, discord, cruelty and final separation. Better the home never begnn than broken up when filled with little ones. It may be argued that if we once get men and women married they will make up their differences for the sake of their children but we see this statement belled every day, and among those who placed their necks under the matrimonial yoke with the fullest deliberation and in the coolest state of mind. How much more likely is it to prove false when applied to those who have entered the connubial state in a sort of hop-skip-and-jump, devil-may-care spirit? Ex-Mayor Moore and his oo-laborers in the matrimonial vineyard must not let their zeal run away with their discretion.

VISIONARY.

Dreams and visions are associated in the mind with that which is fantastiu and unreal. "Dreamer" or "visionary" are terms of contempt or reproach which are applied to those who are under the control of a wild imagination, or one following useless or impracticable schemes. And yet it is the dreamers and visionaries who have first perceived grand truths and have dragged this old world on and upward, and hard tugging they have had of it. The fact is that the great mass of men do not begin to realize the number, substantial character, or value of the unperceived realities. The natural and unaided powers of perception are very dull. We think our sight so keen and our hearing so acute that we see and hear well nigh everything. But the telescope reveals to us worlds and systems, marvels of beauty and grandeur and order, never dreamed of, though lying dlreotly before our eyes, and our pride of vision is humbled. As if this were not enough, the microscope comes in and reveals to us tiny worlds and systems as perfect and beautiful and harmonious as those which circle through the heavens. And who shall say what lies beyond the ken of the farthest reaching telescope, and what beyond the reach of the most powerful microscope? Evidently it Is bnt a few of the material realities which these doll eyea can aee. And our ears are ho better. We are just waking to the fact that these blunt ears catch only the coarsest and most obtrusive sounds. It seems like a fairy story, or a western "yarn," that one can hear, at the distance of two squares, or through six hundred feet of wire the ticking of a watoh, the fall of the minutest bits of paper, the grating of a soft feather over a table, or even the footfalls of a fly, and yet the microphone brings all this about, and the world is beginning to oatch the idea of George Elliot, who wrote in one of her books of "the roar which lies on the other side of silence" Which might be perceived if we had sense aoute enongb to hear the grass grow and the squirrel's heart heat. And now that we know that there are sounds of which we have known nothing hitherto, who shall say that the old astronomers were not literally correct in speakIngof the "music of the spheres"? Who shall say that old Job was not writing literal prose, instead of using poetic license, when he wrote of the time "when the morning stars sang together?" As there are mighty worlds and tiny worlds of transcendent beauty beyond our keenest vision, and aa there are sounds far beyond the acutest sense of heaxiag, any there not be harmonions mnsio among the spheres above which meets and blends in sweetest harmony with the musiQof the growing grass and heart beats of squirrel and of tiniest insect? At all events these blnnt ears catch bnt few of the real sounds about us. So It Is, doubtless, not only with sight and hearing, bnt with all the senses. They extend over only a very small space snd detect but a few of the realities about us. So it Is also with other realities not grasped by toe senses. There are grand and glorious realities in the realms of science, philosophy, morality, theology, mech

anism, and so on, of which the world at large is entirely ignorant, or has but dim perception. A vision or a drfsm is often but a revelation of these unperceived realities. The visionaries are the ones who catch the first glimpse of these realities, and seizing them, bold them for the world to see. Old Elisha who saw the mountains full of horses snd chariots which nobody else saw, was vis^pnary, but the result proved thst there were unseen forces there. In fact all the Old Testament prophets, and the New Testament apostles and teachers, were visionary men, and even yet the world has not perceived all the sublime realities which the Great Teacher saw and declared. Then all reformers are visionary men. For forty years a man, Garrison, was regarded as one of the wildest and most impracticable of all visionaries, bnt even before his death, and especially since, the whole world, his worst enemies and most bitter oppcnents included, acknowledge his practical wirdom and sagacity. He was not mad, but the one sane and sober man in the nation. In science, old Galileo bad not the "practical good sense" to let the world go on its way, not caring a straw whether the sun went around it, or it around the sun, provided he was comfortable but visionary that he was, he must needs fly in the face of tradition, and science, and theology, and declare that the earth moved, and even to rc turn and stick to his wild theory after once renouncing it. Who had the reality on his side, the old philosopher, or the Pope who compelled him to recant? Edison was an impractical fellow, whom none of the telegraph companies could afford to employ a few years ago. None of them can afford to get along now without the results of his wild dreams. In fact the world in general, the church, the State, society, science, philosophy, art, literature, all owe a debt to the dreamers and visionaries which they can never pay. And there is more work for these still, and will be for along time, in all departments of life.

THE SOCIAL DRAMA.

The publication of the offensive details of a great scandal is certainly a matter to be deplored when viewed wholly without reference to its ultimate bearing upon the cause of truth ,pnd justice. At the same time it is perfectly plain that nothing is more interesting, to the average reader. It might be thought an anomaly that men and women of delicate feelings and tender instincts should care to read of domestic misery and the tragedy of ruined homes and faith flouted and betrayed. And yet the explanation is a very simple one. The same element which attracts us in the novel and the drama constitutes the interest of the Bcandal and it is unfair to accuse of a perverted taste those who are interested in the latter, while at the same time we find no fault with those who linger with delight over a like tragedy when set forth by the pen of the novelist or the combined art of the actor and the dramatist.

If we take the story of "Griffith Gaunt" or the tragedy of "Othello" and analyze the interest which they have for us, we find that, aside from the skillful Btory telling which gives a peculiar charm to the novel, and the poetic grandeur of the tragedy, there is a fascination in the very theuis of domestic unbappiness which forms the groundwork of each. Is it to be wondered at that when a drama involving the same passions is enacted—not on the stage of the play house, but in the th ck of our social life and by the real dramatis personce—v/e should find it a matter of absorbing interest? We may regret its existence from the bottom of hearts, and shrink in unfeigned horror from the misery which we know it involves, but it nevertheless demands our attention more inexorably than does the most powerful dramatic fiction ever penned. And it does this simply because of the element of romance which is its chief component—the same element which Is the life of the novel and the play.

It, therefore, Is neither a curiosity nor a love Of the scandalous that induces the vast msjority of the public to read the record of a great social scandal. If such matters could be dealt with in strict privacy, and their details never permitted to burden the columns of the press, the community might very probably be the gainer. Nothing, however, can be more gratuitous and unjust than to denounce those who read the stories of domestic tragedy that from time to time make their way into publicity, as showing a morbid appetite for what is unwholesomeand impure.

prurient

Pbsshkcb of mind bsa lately proved valuable In several interesting cases. Henry Kuhn, at the bottom of a Dubuque well, drove his pickaxe Into the side, and stood under it when he saw the earth laden bucket falling, thus saving himself from being crushed. John Carey, when lightning struck the New Haven mill of which he was foreman, knocked down three of the panic stricken operators, who were madly rushing toward the narrow exit, and so prevented a dangerous jam on a stairway, Mrs. Dnnkin, of Long Prairie, Mlnn.t was threatened with an axe by her crasy son. She said, "Well, 11 you want to cut my head off, let's go to the chopping block." He nodded, and they peaeed out to the woodpile. It was dark and addressing him with, "Now, 111 pat my head on the block," she drew the white kwtiUrf from her neok and threw It down and attpped away. The lunatic struck the kerchief a heavy but harmless blow. Julia Clarke, a San Francisco factory girl, was caught In a machine by hear long hair. She seized a

pair of shears and cut off her treeses so quickly that she was not drawn between the wheels and killed, as she otherwise would have been. Ten men Started down the shaft of a Nevada mine in a small skip. The donkey engine broke, and the sainers felt their vessel sink down with lightning speed. Deathly fear turned every face white. In the panic moet of them clutched the skip to wait for the crash. At the first intimation of disaster Patrick McCarthy, the engineer at the top of the shaft, seised a heavy plank and thrust the end between the pinion shaft and the reel, from which the cable was running off, The drum was revolving with terrific speed, and the friction produced streams of fire and smoke. But the engineer's thrust was exactly at the right point, and the end of the board soon checked the descent, bringing the skip to a standstill a few feet from the bottom. .• ______

^the better world.

ITEMS RELATING TO THOSE JOUR(KEYING THAT WAY.

Mr. Sankey has a new hymn entitled "How can I keep from singing?" Brother Moody was rowing on a pond at Northfield, Mass., and singing "Pull for the Shore," when over went the boat, and the evangelist was compelled to swim to the shore or drown.

Dr. Fowler says In the Christian Advocate that "sanctification is a theological peg on which any man can hang his best exporlences and still leave room for any better experiences he may find."

The Rev. R. Fisk socused himself of grave offences and resigned as pastor of the Grand Rapids Universalis! churoh, two years ago. He now says that he confessed more than the truth, calm thought on the subject having oonvlnced him that he painted himself too black, and asks to be reinstated/

At a prayer meeting in London, special prayer was asked for the Divine blessing on 10,000 postal cards which had been sent out to the "upper class families," each card bearing four texts of Scripture. Lord Radstock and some of his friends have largely engaged in this variety of evangelist effort.

A negro preacher near Red Springs announced to his congregation several Sundays since somewhat as follows: "I have been preaching to you ever slnoe I came, from Matthew and Mark, and if you want me to preaoh from Genesis and Exodus, you must raise my wages. It is hard work, and I am not going to preach the fat out of my gizzard for so little pay." -o

Mrs. Western is a most uncommon religious oon.vert* After announcing her change of heart In a Baptist meeting at Worth, Ga., she began to exhort with great volubility, and has kept it up ever since, stopping hardly enough to eat and sleep. The superstitious neighbors regard her as an inspired speaker. She will pay no attention to anybody, but talks right on from morning until night. Thousands of persons have been to see and hear her.

The Sisters of Sarah, a negro religious society at Amherst, Va., engaged the Rev. Mr. Hall to preach the funeral sermon of a deceased member, and the relatives of the dead chose the Rev. Mr. Pratt for the same service. The two clergymen met angrily in the church, and each Insisted upon preaching. A compromise, on the basis of having two sermons, fell through, because the question of precedence could not be settled. A fierce fight ensued between the factions, and the relatives finally drove the SlBters of Sarah out of the church.

Mr. Munson, the Advent preacher who made such a sensation in Worcester, Mass., last month, by stopping 1" the middle of his sermon, coming down out of the pulpit and pretending to marry himself to a young woman, has got into jail for It. He was arraigned on a complaint chatting him with unlawful wedlock, and in default of $500 bail waa committed to Jail. The jndge held that the la# authorising the Quaker form of marriage prohibited any one else from .solemnizing marriage in that way, and conld not apply to the case. Munson refused td.have any other ceremony performed', or to be married over again, and went to jail defiant.

Onoe on a time when Whltefleld preached in New York to the sailors he closed with the following bold apostrophe: "Well, my boys, we have a clear sky, and are making fine headway oyer a smooth sea, before a light breeze, and we shall soon lose sight of land. But what means the lowering of the heavens and that dark cloud arising from the western borison? Hark 1 don't you hear the distant thunder? Don't you see those flashes of lightning? Every man to his duty! How the waves rise and daah against the ship! The air is dark! The tempest rages! Our masts are gone I The ship is on her beam gads! What next V1 The listening tars, reminded of the former perils of the deep, aroae and with united voices exclaimed "Take to the long boat I"

The peculiarity of the Rev. Amos Ken worthy's religious belief Is that ail persons should confess their sins in pnblic, not lumping them in a general statement, but giving all the particulars explicitly. It can readily be conoelved how disturbing a tew of Brother Kenworthy's converts could be In any community, If they had been only ordinarily wicked. An illustration in a comparatively small way baa already been provided in a email way at Butlerville, Indiana, where Brother Kenworthy has been conducting a revival. The widow Stanley, under the Influence of his teaching, began to oonfe* in his

meetings. She implicated numerous perrons in a great variety of evil deeds, and her revelations were oontinued from week to week. Even Brother Kenworthy was forced to admit that bis doctrine was awkward in practice, and the lateet news from Butlerville is that the Widow Stanley has been locked by herself in a school house, where she keeps on confessing to the bare benches.
