TERRE HAUTE, FEB. 28,1880

THBRB is great danger in California of a general outbreak against the Chinese.

IT

is manifest the political "machine" has not lost its pristine potency. It still in good running order and does its work admirably.

WITH 4,000 miles of new railway last year and 6,000 this year, the inevitable panic may be descried in the distance. It will be on hand in due time.

A BELZ. has been presented in the Mis aissippi Legislature making the offense of encouraging emigration from that State punishable by a fine of |20.

THE Cincinnati Southern Kailroad is now open for business and trains run through to Chattanooga. It will probably be be a ten strike for Cincinnati.

GEN. GRANT will go into the Chicago eonvention with 70 votes from New York, and 58 from Pennsylvania, making 128 in all. This will be a good start and may secure his nomination.

THB temperance reformers in Massachusetts are working for a law which will compel all sellers of strong drink to remove screens and blinds from their windows, so that all men may see cus tomers taking their drinks at the bar.

AOAIN we have it from a responsible source that General Grant will be withdrawn nnless he can be nominated by acclamation. This may be the gospel troth, anil then again it may be nothing but a very sweet brand of "taffy." Time will tell.

As has been anticipated Senator Conkling carried the New York convention for Grant and the delegates to Chicago were instructed accordingly. There is great dissatisfaction among the Repub lican of tbo State all the same, however, on the third term question.

AFFAIRS at the Russian capital are growing worse daily. Threats, cabals, exp.'oslons and attempted assassinations are the order of the day, and unless the Czar shall be fortunate enough to get into a foreign war very shortly there Is no telling where he will bring up.

THB selection of Cincinnati as the plaoe for holding the Democratic National Convention was a defeat for the Tilden men, who wanted it to go to St. Louis. Perhaps Sammy did not tap his "barl" sufficiently. He will not repeat the blunder when the Convention meets.

THB people of this section of the country may oonslder themselves highly favored this year in the matter of the National Conventions, that of the Republicans being fixed for Chicago, on June 2, and that of the Democrats for Cincinnati, on June 22. It will not be far to go to either of them.

GBOKGE WILLIAM CURTIS'S usefulness as an active politician seems to be at an end. Ills career illustrates the truth of the poet's declaration that "the good die first," etc. Virtue like bis does not survive lohg in the field of politics. The Camerons and Couklings are the type of men that hold their own there.

ALL the delegates from this State to the Chicago convention are for Blaine as their first choice, excopt two, one of whom is for Sherman aud the other for Washbume. As second choice Washburne would probably lead. In the Congressional conventions at which the delegates were selected on Wednesday the sentiments was almost unanimously against a third term.

TIIR

condition of things in San Fran­

cisco is signally illustrative of the evils of communism. The followers of that blatherskite, Dennis Kearney, who style themselves" workingmen,"have brought affairs to such a pass that men of wealth and business enterprise are said to be leaving the city and seeking locations elsewhere, disgusted with that kind of government which places power virtually in the hands of the mob.

THB committee appointed by the State Bar Association to suggest ft method of improving our present judicial system, report in favor of an intermediate appellate oourt, between the circuit and supreme oourts, to be composed of five judges, and to which all oases involving |500 and less may be appealed. Also a probate oourt for each oounty and the abolition of the present commissioners' court. These suggestions will be heard by the next legislature and, as the courts say, "taken under advisement." And that will probably be the end of it. _____________

IT Is said that Hayden, who was on trial tbreo months for murder, at New Haven, Conn., has prepared a lecture on "elreumatanUal evidence," with which he proposes to regale the people at fifty ojuts a bead. Having witnessed the eagerness of the people to gain admisaiou to the trial, he imagines that a lecture on the subject will drew. Bat he will probably find that Hayden on trial for bis life before sjury, and Hayden lecturing in cold blood on the subject of that trial will be two very different spectacles and will affect the public very differently.

THE Maryland legislature has enacted a law imposing line and imprisonment on anyone "who shall profanely corse and swear or use obscene language on or near any street or highway within the hearing of any person passing." It will doubtless cause some extra profanity on the part of those who may be convicted of this offense.

THB analytical chemist whs will discover and proclaim to the world that brand of baking powder which contains the smallest per cent, ef alum, will entitle himself to the thanks of the present generation, and deserve a statue from posterity. As the case now stands it is not "Chinese cheap labor" that is ruining us, so much as it is the insidious baking powder with whioh our matU' tinal meal is-lightened.

THE autocrat of all the Russias is compelled to live much like an escaped oonvict. According to a late report be seldom leaves his palace and when he does, be is surrounded by a small army of mounted officers. Every dish has to be tasted by an expert before the Czar dare partake of it and he is afraid to even open bis letters, lest he be killed by poison-steeped documents. When a kitig is obliged to live in snch a fashion jthe advantages of wearing a crown might be under-estimated by the popu lar mind.

THE Tennesseeans have entered upon a new phase of popular amusement and introduced a new sport which may in time supersede base ball or pedestrianism as the great American enjoyment, It is that of witnessing executions. At a double hanging of two negroes in the open air, near Murfeesboro', on Friday of last week seats were erected in am pbitheatical form and sold rapitly at one dollar each, though most of the rural gentry who made up the gathering of 10,000 people present were content to take theirs standing, without expense,

THE Springfield Republican considers the freedom of intercourse of young men and women upon slight acquaintance, common in this country, attended with much peril. In regard to young girls spending their evenings in the stree^ it says: "One can not go. upon Main street, of a Saturday night, without wondering what the mothers of all the girls abroad are thinking about. They are not 'society' girls, to be sure, but they nearly all have honest parents, who would feel the blush of shame and the grief of wretchedness if their offspring strayed from rectitude. Company in the street and under such circumstances is not protection, but license. One girl will go along safely and modestly, where two will put on the bold manner of chuttering hussies, and answer back the beginnings of evil from young men. This is the way night walking begins—the primary school of prostitution."

THE School Board of St. Louis has determined to add to the course of studies in the public schools of that city a series of oral lessons in etiquette. The Superintendent, in accordance with the directions of the board, has drawn up a syllabus of topics for instruction in whioh the teachers are "direoted to have a lew of the best readers in each room read by turns live pages of the manual of etiquette, the teacher to lead a conversation with the pupils on the topics.'' The lessons laid dawn in the syllabus are as follows: "General precepts complaints dress carriage and bearing conversation at the table riding and driving at school and rules of behavior prescribed by George Washington." This is a good idea, and the plan should extend to other cities that St. Louis. It may be suggested that the manners and usages of polite society should be taught at home. But in these days it is quite often the case that the parents are as ignorant as their children.

To persons interested in oriental research, (and there are many such at the present time,) an article in the March Atlantic, by Franois H. Underwood, entitled "Egypt Under the Pharaohs," will prove entertaining and valuable. Egypt has always been the land of mystery and sublimity, and the more it is stndied the more its wonders grow. Its vast antiquity lengthens with each new discovery, and archaeologists can now go back with confidence to a period 5,000 years before Christ. Its works of art, pyramids, sphynxes,) obelisks and temples, cut and built out of solid stone, flar exceeding the eapabilitles of modern science and architecture to produce, are as full of mystery as they were cftntu rles ago, save that new light is continually being thrown npon the history of the country by the Inscriptions and engraved tablets which are found upon and within them. These ancient ruins, many of them burled deep in the drifting.sands, are found to be rich in this kind of literature and, within the past few years, have abundantly repaid the labors of the antiquarian students, so that much more is now known of those ancient dwellers along the Nile than was ever known before. The study is fascinating, and will no doubt be pursued with still greater results.

COMMENTING

on a current item that

the Rev. Dr. Hatfield, of Chicago,| bad mid be would bring up his children in the lowest and most immoral neighborhood of that city rather than in the most refined society in which dasoing, card playing, and theater going were tolerated, the Indianapolis Herald says: "Tbo Rev. Dr. Hatfield, of Chicago," Is a conspicuous illustration of a well settled truth that the worst enemiee of religion are its pretentious advocates. He would make ten infidels where Incereoll would one. "Dancing, cardare aa likely playing and theater going" to be caught by "his childre m" in "Iott Mi« eartfc."

and immoral neighborhood" as in "the most refined society," and worse vices are likely to be caught with them, whioh would make his declaration silly if its bigotry did not make it contemptible. There is no more sin in "card playing" for amusement than in checker or chess

Elaying."gamblingmade

All are the subjects of

ets and in various forms at times. So are walking matches, but walking is not sin. "Dancing" is no more a sin than "skipping the rope." "Theater going" is the practice of many people as pious as Dr. Hatfield, and not half as bigoted and ignorant. Those who denounce the theater most vehemently are those who know nothing about it, never entered one, and speak only from inherited paritanism, or distorted fancies. There is abetter chance in heaven for any vice than for the vinegar souled spite that wonld posion all am us

SCIENTIFIC GOSSIP.

A lake, so long as it is not frozen, is a reservoir of heat which tempers the cold of winter. Dr. Forel calculates that the heat evolved from the Lake of Geneva during five days of extreme cold in December was equal to that which would be produced by the combustion of 1,250,000 tons of coal. The sky having been generally covered with clouds during those five days, the greater part of the beat must have been retained in the lower atmosphere, and doubtless served to mitigate for that re gion the cold that was so intense elsewhere.

For several years the attention of physicians and scientists has. been directed to learning the nature of the poison producing those remittent and intermittent diseases known as marsh fever, malarial fever and fever and ague, The search has been at last rewarded. After exposing themselves three weeks in that fever stricken district, the Roman Campagna, Signor Tomasi, of Rome, and Prof. Klebs, of Prague, have dis covered the source of,malaria to be a microscopic fungus. The next step for the weal of humanity is to find some means of destroying these fungi, orren dering them innocuous.

The uniform green color of the vegetable world is due to chlorophyll. This substance, however, exists only in minute quantity In plants, the leaves of a large tree containing perhaps not more than one hundred grains. It ap poars to be a direct product of the action of eunlight on vegetation, as it does not exist in plants kept in darkness. The changes in the color of leaves in autumn are supposed to be due to the oxidation of their chlorophyll.

One of the hottest localities on-the globe is along the Persian Gulf, where rain seldom or pever falls. At Bahrin the arid shore has no fresh water, yet a considerable population continues to exist there, thanks to the copious springs of fresh water which issue from the bottom of the sea. The fresh water is secured by divers, and brought to the surface in large goat skin bags. The source of these submarine spgingfi is thought to be in the green hilll of Osman, some five or six hundred miles distant.

A puzzle to scientists is the remarka ble persistence of certain odors. More than one thousand years ago the mortar used in the construction of the MoBque of St. Sophia, in Constantinople, was charged with mask, the perfume of which permeates the building to this day.

The first minor planet, or asteroid, was discovered Jan. 1,1801, the first day of the nineteenth century. Over two hundred of these minute worlds—probably varying from ten to three hundred miles in diameter—are now known, and as everybody is well aware, the number is being rapidly increased.

Prof. Hagen has found that the application of yeast on insects produces a fuflgus which proves fatal to the insects. Potato beetles sprinkled with diluted yeast die within twelve days.

Signor Parnetti finds a large percentage of iron and glue in the dust and debris of London streets, and proposes establishing blast furnaces and glue works for the purpose of securing these valuable products.

Few persons are aware that the most powerful telescope in existence is not the gigantic reflector of Lord Rosse, with a mirror six feet in diameter. The real power of a microscope consists in accurate definition, in which this great instrument has been surpassed by several smaller ones. The finest telescope In the world has undoubtedly been the twenty-six inoh refraotor of the United States Naval Observatory at Washington but a reflector with a mirror thirtyseven and one-half in diameter, has just been completed by by Mr. A. A. Common, of England, which 1b expected from the results of tests thus far applied to exoel the American instru ment in power.

A German apiarist applies electricity to the handling of bees. The insects are stunned by the passage of the electric current through the swarm, and remain motidhless for ft quarter of an hour or more. No injury to the bees results.

A large workshop in France has been lighted during the present winter by means of Clamond's thermo-electric system, the electricity being generated by the heat used to wafm the shop.

Mr. R. Russell calls attention to the fact that the essential conditions required to enable men to fly to a moderate distance BOW exist—namely, the means of conveying fbroe with ease, and, secondly, the convertibility of force thus conveyed into the mechanical rotation or oscillation of vanes. "I cannot be wrong," says he, "in assaming that a steam engine sending an eleotrical current through wires attached to a rotary apparatus might cause the apparatus (bearing a man to direct it) to ascend to oonsiderablejheighrabove

LAURA MORGAN.

SHE COMES TO GRIEF!

BECAUSE "THE CONDITIONS" ARE NOT OBSERVED.

It is claimed by those in charge of socalled spiritual manifestations that cer tain conditions must be observed. One of these is that a light must not be suddenly sprung while a seance is in progress—because, they say, the medium's life is endangered. All who attend seances in this city arc put upon their honor not to violate these conditions, and as a consequence, no honorable person has yet cared, and no one of questionable honor has dared, to violate this one condition. But in other places it has been different. Credulous and daredevil people have sprung alight at the wrong time—or, rather, the right time— and in every case that has come to our knowledge, the medium has been ex posed, and in no case has there been any more serious result than the shame and mortification of the person thus imposing on the credulous people. We are ready to wager a good sized sum that Anna ^tewart, of Pence's Hall, would come to grief, under circumstances similar to those narrated below, wherein another noted Terre Haute medium has fallen by the wayside.

For many years La lira Morgan has been claimed, by those who profess to have thoroughly tested her, to be a true medium, and her manifestations beyond suspicion of fraud. Visitors who have come hundreds and thousands of miles to see the manifestations of Anna Stewart and Laura Mergan, have been trot ted back and forth to these two mediums, and their manifestations endorsed —one equally with the other. Some months since the Morgan family went west. What befel them will be of inter est to our people. It is thus told by the Denver, (Col.) Republican:

Attracted, like many others, by curiosity, a reporter of the Republican lately attended several public seances of Miss Morgan, and alter witnessing the manifestation on the first evening pretty thoroughly made up his mind that there was something wrong with the spirits, sure. Not that the manifestations were not artistic, or that they lacked that uncomfortable, shuddering aspect im puted to the average spirit or ghost, whatever the difference may be, but possibly of a practical and not easily impressionable mind, ghastly shadows and misty, white robed figures somehow flatly failed to confirm bis belief in the lore of ghost craft, and hence he determined, if fraud it was, to let the people know it. The project took material shape yesterday, and, calling four reliable friends together a carefully prepared diagram of the interior of the house waB submitted to them for examination, and each man assigned to a seat on the drawing, the adventurers trusting to Providence to aid them in obtaining the right seats, so that the mine might be sprung beyond the contingency of a possible failure. The exposure, it was agreed, should be made in the evening, and to this end everything required for the undertaking was procured in advance, a dark lantern being considered the most essential condition. Thus equipped and fully prepared for emergencies, the detachment last evening took the street cars and were soon at the place. The party was ushered into a front room dimly lightly by a smoky oil lamp without a shade, revealing the scant furniture and walls that were thickly hung with cheap pictures illustrating scenes from the lives of the Savior and virgin, a threadbare red carpet, and a small upright stove at one side. Near the stove sat two persons, a boy and a girl, Besides these two, there were present in the room three other persons. One, a broad, fat woman of ssrhaps forty-five, clad in a slovenly black calico, was Mrs. Morgan a small, broad shouldered man, with a fierce expression of conntenance and beetling gray eyebrows, none other than her lord and master. Both received the reportorial corps with great cordiality and saw that they were provided with seats, after woich both retired to an adjoining room, the door of which was standing open, and whence the rattle.of tables, and other heavy articles on the floor soon told that they were preparing the auditorium for a seance. The third person in the room was a young girl, apparently about sixteen years of age, dressed in a light oalloo wrapper, who mustered the assemblage with a short, scrutinizing look from her place of observation near the door. Pale of face, and of large dark eyes and hair, the contrast is disagreeably abrupt, and not calculated to impress one that Miss Lanra Morgan is Deautiful, though we do not wish to be understood as saying that the young medium is at all ugly.

The fat lady, who guards the light, in piercing but powerful treble, now launches out with a mighty effort in the sweet by and by," followed by the little man on the right wing, and so one after the otbor join in until finally all bellow forth the familiar old tune in every variety and cast of the human voice. In the back row sits the corpulent dignitary and bis lady, grunting forth in vague harmony as if from the bottom of a large beer tank, the doleful strains of the song. It is a doleful effort all round, and the end oomes not too soon. The spirit has not yet made bis appearance. From the closet issue strange sounds, as of somebody trying to wriggle out of a suit of clothes, immediately the fat woman begins to sing. "Nearer my God to Thee," and, as before, all join in. No spirit yet having manifested bis presence, the fat woman yawns and is about to go at it again, when the lady on the back seat remarks that she has seen the spirit in the aperture, but fftintly. No one else has. The fat woman explains, in a drowsy voice, that the long absence of the spirit is probably due to the fact that there is a "new circle." Suddenly a white object flits past the aperture like a shadow. The spirit has came at last "Mary, go back to the medlnm and get as strong as stong as you posibly can, so that yon can show the audience what you can do."

This injunction is uttered by Mrs. Morgan in her dowsy, matter-of-fact intonation, sad the spirit immediately appears at the aperture and looks out. We see the dim outlines of a female face and are told that it is the spirit dsugbter of Judge Strong, of Michigan. "Come out, now, Miss Mary, if you feel strong enough," says the old party

in the rear row, and promptly Mary opens the door, which she immediately closes again. Encouraged by calls from the audienoe she opens the door several times more, and finally is "strong enough" to walk on the platform after being requested to play her "papa's favorite march on the piano." It is nothing but a white robed female figure,_ a sort of turban on her streaming hair, nothing illusive .about her, while her tread sounds heavy and firm as any healthy girls of nineteen. The spirit approaches the piano and moves the stool from under it, finally sits down and begins to play. {Her playing is poorer than a seven year old child's and the selection one of the most pitiable to be imagined. This was the opportunity. The man next to Morgan suddenly leaped forward in the direction of the spirit on the stool, and before she oould dissolve and appear in the air, as spirits generally do, or gain the closet, had thrown his arms about her waist and was holding her firmly. In the struggle to escape the forcible embrace of the exposer, the spirit stumbled and fell on her back lengthways across the platform.

This proceeding was the signal for the other conspirators to do tneir work. Morgan sprang up from his chair to assist the ill-fated spirit, but was immediately seized by four powerful arms and rendered helpless at the same instant the light of a null's eye flashed upon the scene and revealed all that was going on in the room with sufficient distinctness to enable all to see. The women screamed, chairs were over-turned and for a moment the scene was one of diro confusion. The fat woman made a rush for the closet, but was held at bay by number five, while the light was turned up so that the spirit was fully exposed to the view of all. As bad been rightly conjectured, the materialized spirit was none other than Miss Morgan, orying and pleading pitifully to be released. A hurried examination of the interior of the closet revealed its contents to consist of some articles of wearing apparel worn by the spirit, while in the chair lay the rope still knotted as before, showing that the girl had wriggled out of it in stead, as many suppose, untying herself. The woman, who had, betin left unmolested, with wild cries and lamen tations began to direct their efforts partly toward extinguishing the lights and partly toward rescuing the spirit, who was finally, after all present were satisfied as to her identity, released and crawled upon her knees into the oabinet, her mother then being allowed to close the doors upon her disgrace. The fat party was called upon by the women to punish the rude invaders for their offence, right there, but the Judge only blustered to a trifling extent, and the scene of excitement and consternation that had lasted scarcely five minutes and been executed with such promptness from the beginning, somewhat sciLsided whereupon the enterprising reporters of the Republican offered their respects to the ladies, especially the fair spirit, and left for home, having completely and satisfactorily exposed the fraud by which so many have been gulled.

THE WOMAN WHO IS LOVED. Everyone has a welcome for ths per son who has the good sense to take things quietly. The person who can go without her dinner and not advertise the fact who can lose her purse and keep her temper who oan make light of heavy weight, and can wear a shoe that pinches without anyone being the wiser who does not magnify tbe splinter in her finger into a stick of timber, nor the mote in her neighbor's eye into a beam who swallows bitter words without leaving them in other people's mouths who can give up her own way without giving up the ghost who can have a thorn in the flesh and yet not prick all her friends with it—such a one surely carries a passport into tbe good graces of mankind. [Substitute his, for her, in the above extract, and it will read quite as well.— ED.
