^Statistics show that the manufacture of gunpowder and shot is on the inerease, and that tbe sale of firearms is much larger than heretofore.

THH New York Herald sustains its reputation for gigantic liberality by contributing $109,000 to the Irish relief fund. The Herald has always been in good odor with tbe Irish, andjthis handsome bit of benevolence will not dim :its lauroiaauy.

JANUARY was a booming month for ^-postmasters, over a thousand new ones having been appointed during that short period. It is sad to reflect, however, »how many more thousands there are who wanted a postofflce and didn't .get it. What a pity there are not enough to «go round.

IT sometimes pays remarkably well to write the biography of a prospective President. There is Mr. John Q. Howard, who performed that little service fOr President Hayes, and who has just xeoelved tho appointment of Appraisor of the Port of New York, the most la--orative federal office lo that city, exoept two. It is believed this appointment has been made pureiy on personal grounds, but it may not be improper to add that in addltiou writing the biograpby, Mr. Howard is au Ohio man.

THBcity of Chicago is likely to have one of the finest public libraries on the continent in the oourse of a few years. The Newberry estate, worth between four and five million dollars, was devised several years ago in such a manner that upon tbe death of the testator's wife, one half of tbe estate must be devoted to the establishment of such a library. With such a prospect in view, the decease of Mrs. Newberry will be looked forward to with no small degree of interest by tbe people of tbe Garden CI$y. ,v

THBSurpriaingannouncement is made that there is an organized movement in Eastern commercial circles to secure the passage of another bankrupt law. After the experience the country has had with the old law and with no bankrapt !*w at all, it seeuis a little singular that tbe clamor for a new law should begin so soon. Perhaps in ten or twelve years from now we shall nee» bankruptcy courts, registers, etc., again, but •while the present prosperous state of affairs continues no talk of a baukrupt law should be heard ^5

have frequently called attention to the novel methods which 'persons of suicidal proclivities devise for their taking off. The inventive ingenuity displayed in this direction would enrich the world to no inconsiderable extent if devoted to a better cause. A late Ulna-

tration of this peculiarity of the suicidal mind was afforded at Newark, N. J., the other day, where a prominent merchant blew his head off with a cannon, which which bo had constructed for the pur* pose from a hollow piece of iron.

If a horrible death was the objeot of his plans, he would certainly have been gratified if he could have beheld tbe result of his efforts.

A SOMEWHAT pecnliar damage suit has been brought in the Marion Supreme Court. It is to recover for injuries sustained by tbe breaking down of a campaign platform in Indianapolis which was erected for purposes of public speaking, tbe plaintiff's leg haying been crushed by the falling timbers. The suit is brought against the campaign managers who caused the platform to be erected and invited persons to go on it. As several similar accidents have occurred in various seotions of the country it will be interesting to ascertain whether or not anybody is liable or damages in such cases.

INDIANAPOLIS is in its semi-annual wrangle over its streets. That they are execrably bad there is no dispute tbe question is, how to improve them. Some are still in favor of block pavements, while their opponents denounce that kind of paving as a hot bed of malarial fevers. Others want cobble stones and still others gravel or macadamized streets. As usual there is a great diversity of opinion and the result will probably be that the 'streets will remain in tbe present dilapidated condition until the inhabitants of the capital will be obliged to exchange their carriages for drays, in order to avoid being bankrupted by the cost of vehicular repa'fs.

IN the Pennsylvania State convention held on Wednesday, Senator Don Cameron carried his point after all, and succeeded iu having the delegates to the Cbicago]convention instructed for Grant. But the vote was a close one, standing 133 to 113, and thus giving the Grant element a majority of only 20 out of 236 votes. In the face of this result it is hard to see bow General Grant can persist longer in allowing his .name to be used in connection with the.Presidency. If any State is for£him it is certainly Pennsylvania and yet after all the shrewd management and personal pressure of tbe|Cameron influence in his favor, he isj endorsed by so small a majority. And it is stoutly maintained by the opposition that even this majority was not an honest one. It must be evident enough from this that General Grant can obtain the nomination, if at all, only by making a vigorous oontest for it and this, it has been given out all all along, he would never oonsent to Tbe opinion is expressed by many Blaine's friends that General Grant's name will now be withdrawn from tbe list of candidates.

GOOD RO ADS.

In order that it may be given the widest publicity, we reprint from the Daily Express, at the request of the lequest of the writer, an article on the above subject. It is a timely topic. Farmers in this vicinity are having a rare and anything but unpleasant experience in the soft weather of this winter. For several weeks there has been a general stagnation of trade. Communication between town and country has been almost completely cut off. The farmer sits in his easy chair smoking his pipe of clay, and tbe merchant does much the same thing. There is more comfort in the picture than the reality, however. It is not a pleasure to our people to be idle when oribs are bursting with grain and counters are loaded with goods,

We are glad to see that tbe unusual mud embargo of this winter Is having one good effect. The people are beginning to regard this state of things, recurring every winter, as.an intolerable nuisance, and have about ooncluded that it will pay to give more attention in the future to tho construction of gravel roads. There can be no doubt that tbe West now needs solid highways, over which loaded wagons can be drawn tbe year round, more than railroads, and yet tbe number of communities willing to give money for a gravel road in preference to a railroad, while already possessing exoellent railroad facilities, is only one out of ten. Nothing so surely contributes to the growth of a oity, as ease of access, and ease of access depends upon the condition of the wagon roads. Then let us hurry the day when our country oousias can bowl into the city with heavily laden wagons on good bard roads at all seasons of the year, and when Charley can drive out a well brushed horse and nicely varnished buggy, with Betsy Jane tucked up beside him, without the dread of being stuck in tbe mud, or having their city clothes bespattered with dirt that will atick as long as the garments stick together. Our people would be more than repaid the expense in one bad season.

J} THE FORTY DA YS' FAST. There begins next week a religious observance the spiritual significance of which is probably more clearly discerned in oar age than ever before, yet which has in outward manifestations changed to a degree that once would have been regarded as very wicked and decidedly detrimental to prospects of felicity in another world. In the early days of the Church the fast of the Lenten neason, covering forty days, was, Uke that of Christ and Moses, a period of tbe strictest abetinenoe. No more food teems to have been allowed than was

There is danger, however, of going to tbe other extreme and making our plans too narrow. Because we cannot read as much as we would like is no good reason why we should cease to read altogether. If we cannot master a whole library we may master a few books and shall be the better and happier fordoing so. The secret of getting out of a busy life some time for reading and culture is to see that the minutes are not wasted. The great readers are not always those who have ample leisure to spend upon their books, but those who make diligent use of the spare moments,—who think it worth while to pick up a book even if they have but five minutes to devote to it. A young man read Macaulay's History of England through at odd moments while waiting for his meals at a boarding house. The small fragments of time which many people let go to waste would, if put together, soon run into days and weeks and months. It is by a strict and method!

necessary to sustain life, and the quality oonsisted only of bread and water, and no exceptions to the rale were permitted. Regarded at one time as in Itself a meritorious act, fasting often consisted of entire abstention from food for days at a time.

SAVING THE FRAGMENTS. Few things are more discouraging and depressing than the feeling which comes over one while standing in tbe midst of a large library and surveying the many volumes which surround him. He sees the names of noted authors that have been familiar to him since childhood, and he has an overwhelming sense of the rich treasure they have given to the world. It is free to all. Nothing is needed but to open the books and read. It is a simple thing to do, and yet practically an impossible one. Time is wanting, and without time the task cannot be performed. And so we turn away with a sigh from the coveted volumes, eager but unable to read them.

This sense of the limitationi which time imposes on us grows with our years. To the youth a lifetime seems synonomous with eternity. The boy at school plans work that woald tax the energies and consume the time of a score of men. As we grew older we become wiser, and narrow our plans to correspond with our narrowed life. We realize tbe force of Hamerton's words, that if there is one lesson which experience teaches it is to make plans that are strictly limited, and to ^atrangfl our

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

THE NECESSITY OF GOOD ROADS.

PABKAND COURT HOUSE CAN WAIT.

The Park question has again been brought 'prominently before tbe taxpayers of this city, in the form of a very fair looking proposition from the exeontor of the Barbour estate, offering the city eighty acres of woodland adjoining the city for f16,000. Now pub'ic parks area very nice luxury, and it is one of the many misfortunes of Terre Haute that we have had no rich eltisen willing to donate land for that purpose years ago and so immortaliae his name in Terre Haute at least. Before the Council decides to entertain the Barbour proposition, would it not be well to spend some money in ^beautifying the Normal School grounds, which area disgrace to the city in their present shape. Haul out a lew thousand loads of that barren looking sand bank, fill in soil, sod it over, put down decent looking stone walks, plant trees and flowers, put in a fountain, and so convert a standing eyesore and diBgraoe to the city, into a beautiful, cosy spot, that shall not cause us to blush for shame whenever strangers and visitors ask to be shown our Normal School buildings and grounds.

We need a Park provided we can afford it, but tbe business men of this city, all classes in fact, need good roads radiating to every point of the compass out of this city much more. The money a park will cost will be worth a thousand fold more used in building good gravel roads. Let us have the roada first, and tbe Park afterwards. Quite a number of our citisens are boastful when they compare the advantages of our city and tbe country surrounding, witb some of our neighbors, but tho writer inclines to think that the civilization, culture and refinement of a community or nation is very largely determined by tbe system of public improvements they adopt and execute, whether it be railroads, gravel or McAdamized or mud roads. Judged by the standard adopted by the citizens of this city and county, we should be relegated to the dark ages when we come to tbe road question, when it is well known that we have tbe material at band for making hundreds of miles. The roads of Vigo county, with the abundance of gravel in sight, area disgrace to any civilized community, and prove conclusively that tbe people both in tbe city and country are too lazy or indifferent to undertake the work. We are now, and will be every wet winter, completely blockaded by mud. Railroads have sapped our trade and have cut us off from rioh seotions of oountry that fifteen years ago marketed everything here, and unless we now get back to the country through a system of better roads, our oity becomes a mere trading village lor about six months in tbe year. The same amount of money (heretofore put in railroads), now invest ed by tbe city in gravel roads, will bring a hundred fold more business and profits to our citizens.

Let the Park question, tbe new Court House and such projects be abandoned until a system of roads has been built. Then we shall have business that will enable us to pay taxes and provide for a Park and Court House in tbe fature. Tbe citizens of Terre Haute cannot do a better thiHg than vote an issue oi 100 000, in ten year bonds, redeemable kJoBsnrro trf tbo city after five -nd five $1,000 per mile to help the outsiHe townships buUd roads to Centerville, Middletown, New Goshen, or Libertvville in the northeast also in the direction of Bowling Green, in Clay county. Vigo county could well afford to spend $500,000 in this way, and get the money back in the enhanced value of her products and real estate inside of ten years. A special tax of 2 cents on the hundred dollars will provide a sinking fund to redeem tho bonds.

Let petititions be prepared all over the county and city at oncc, ashing the Commissioners to allow the people to vote on the matter this spring.

BUSINESS.

AN ONION-BITING PARTY. At an onion party in Rockland, tbe other evening, a wicked brunette played a high game for kisses. At a party of this description it is the custom for the girls to go into a darkened room, when one of the party bites a mouthful from an onion. A young man is then admitted, and it is his proud privilege to kiss tbe batch of girls till he is enabled by the taste to determine which one of them bit the fragrant fruit. Tbe brunette aforementioned in this ease slipped tbe enion into her pocket instead of biting it, and the spruce Boston drummer who was summoned to test and find had kissed five times around the circle and was beginning again, when a girl whose jealous lover was outbide discovered the trick, and the game was up.
