investigating committee is. He did his best, but it ran away with him, and still it runs. It is going too fast for him to jump, and there is no use in throwing down the reins, and just as little use in holding on and sawing the bits. And so the only thing that can be done is to let the blame thing go to smash, and its going about as fast as it caa so fast, that, if those auburn locks wore not the genuine article, they'd bee* blown off long ago. As it is they still stream wildly in the wind. Wo are sorry, dreadful sorry, but he ovght to have known better than start the question! why the negroes are leading the South.

Ditto 8am Randall. But the Republicans are doing the most in this line«at present. The manifestoes of the AntWGkant men will be nuts for the Democracy during the campaign, if Grant should be nominated at Chloago. If Blaine should seoure the prize the Democrats will only be otaiiged to look up the fries oi another class of Republican journals to find all the bad, real or imaginary, in his record, sknd they oan give thtoos what the Republicans themselves say of their candidate. And so on to tho end of the list of candidates, which Is not a short one. If the parti zans ofdifferent candidates could and would knaglne themselves in the actual campaign with tho other man nominated, ftt might save them a great deal of disagreeable work in undoing what now they are so eagerly doing.

SPRING SUGGESTIONS. In this climate it is important not to make too sudden a change in the matter !of apparel, and especially underclothing. The temptation to do so is alia ost irresistable. Wearied out with winter, people hail the deluding warm days of the earfcr spring as affording pretext and oeeosion for "unloading" es«s^ surplus osnse of heavy clothing. The men hasten tocast aside their overooata and the woman to put away theircloaks substantial boots aadiehoes are speedily discarded, and colds, coughs and tffoer ailments .naturally follow. One of ibe commonest mistakes in the spring Is made by hossekeepers whose experiestse should tesoh them better. We refer to the practice ef prematurely abandoning the fires, or letting them run low. It is even mora important to have fires, in the early mornings and in the evenings at this season than in the winter time. The frost is comout of the ground, as the phrase goes, and the air ia charged with moisture. Rooms get damp and unwholesome unless the fires are kept up, snd where there are young children it is of serious consequence that dwellings should be kept warm. To preserve health it is of importance too, that a change in diet should follow the sea

as it develops towards summer. and other strong food, particularly containing fetty matter should be diminished and alight vegetable aliment substituted. By observing this rfmpu tact a large proportion of the bilious complaints peculiar to this climate would be ayvrtoO. JftaaUx, it

^4rt

ia a good general rule to count on in this part of the country that the season does not undergo any radical change warranting a corresponding change in clothing, diet and other sanitary arrangement prior to the middle of May. Up to this period a reasonable degree of vigilant care must be exercised as the prtm of sound health.

TERRE HAUTE, IND., SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 17,1880.

FHPTY YEARS J&€&OPE. The result of the farlismentsry elections in Great Britain, which bring Mr. Gladstone again into power, and displace his life-long opponent, Xiord Sesconsfield, recalls a most interestingand brilliant period in English history. The public career of these two menfeegan with the accession of Qneen Victoria to the throne in 1857, the ^ueen thee being but a girl of eighteen. The partiament which then assembled was a notable one for the number df -able and eloquent men it contained. *t the head of one party was Lord 'John Russell,'while Sir

Robert Peel led tba other. CO'Connell and Soheil, the'Irisk orators, *7ere there and Palmers tot* «nC Stanley 'Grote, the historian, and Balwer, tho novelist Glsdstone,gusbentering upon the long^ an«l brilliant osreer tbst wss before him* and Disraeli, to^ddress tha House foe the first time. MKuch wss the political beginning of the relgn of Qceen Victoria —a reign which has witnessed the dis coveryand application of mechanical foroes thatibenre revolutionized the industrial and commercial world, and have ohangOd-the conditions of human life for os in-suoh amsnner as to make the history of the past forty or fifty years almost -absolutely distinct from thst of snytpreceding- period

The firetof these great agencies was the genera* development of the rsilway system. the' Liverpool and Birmingham ^railway was opened, and in 1838, theTttverpool-andsPreeton, and the London and'Birmingham. In the year following,* the London-and Croyden line was opened It wasooted as an almost incredible triumph oft human ingenuity that a looemotive bad been made to travel at a speed of thirty-seven miles an hoar, and the prospect of traveling from London to Liverpool, a distance of 210 miles^in ten hoars,-recalled the tales of fairies and genii. At the beginning o/ tbe-centary

tmen perfermed iirifive. Ofch railway sapidly followed, and t] mission ef: the mails by the agency of stesm began at the very outset.

Nextcatae the application of steam to navigation. The&tatasj the Great Western, and the Royal William, the first ships propelled alone by steam, crossed the Atlantic in 1888,' in'fifteen and seventeen days. The principal point of controversy *ras whether* steamer, with her cargo sad paasengets, could carry fuel enough to last during the entire voyage. Tbe2»raoticabillty 6f doing so waa rally demonstrated, »and two years after, tho famous Cunard'Une of steam ships wss established. The steam oomoannieation between Liverpool anchNew York became thenceforth an regular an unvarying. apart of the buairn oommeroe as tho journeys*! the trains on the43rest Western Railway between London and Bristol.

Then followed a reduction in letter postage to a uniform rate of«one penny and tbo abolition of the Inequitably franking system by which those who were best able to pay, and their friends^ were enabled to send their letters free, and the poorer classes had to bear th whole «scpense sf the mail system Previously, postags had been xirary high A letter Irom London to Brighton cost eight peace to Aberdeen andjBelfast, over a shilling. THs great aohemeof cheap and uniform ^postage, which Sir Rowland Hill brought forward and oar' ried to a sneoessful issce, mettheoisua! fate of atrennous opposition. The postmaster general said of .it, in the House of Lords, that of all the wild and .ex travagant schemes he had ever beard .of, it was the wildest and Aiost extnwragant. Other eminent men of thst day msde similar declarations. Nevertheless, the government was #reveiled oa to give the system a trial, and the moot beneficent and astonishing results fol lowed. During the year 1£89, the Isst year of heavy postage, the number of letters delivered in the United Kingdom was upwards of eighty-two millions, including some five millions of tanked letters. In 1875, mora than a thousand millions of letters were delivered, the population of the kingdom in that time net having nearly doahled. The principle of Mr. Hill's postal system Is now in operation in every civilised country of the world.

The application of electricity to the transmission of messages had its inception also in the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign, and many other minor, though highly Important and beneficent Inventions sucoeeded, all of which have tended greatly to the amelioration of the physical condition of mankind, and the Increasing of their sources of happiness. Viewing this wonderful march of piomssi, no wonder Tennyson was moved to sing "Better fifty yesxs of Sorope than a cycle of Ostfcay."

DEAR JOSEPHINE

Really I have

so sandl to tsii you that I hardly know w*ere to begin. Of oourse it is all about (fee Carnival. No one has thought of anything else for a week past. As the ay apptesched for which we had so long beet preparing, we were all in a flutter of excitement which can better be imaged than described. There were lasttonohss to be given to the booths^ curtain to drape, flowers to arrange, forgotten trifles .to adjust, Isst teqKiries to fee made, and last atitchnittttid changes to be effected in ooetnmW The bsnr arrived!

devoted to the

Icken^s booth are

best actors In the ran. Urn booth is deoorsted witk every ing curious and interesting thtt yon mid imagine, sa though It wis indsd the veritable "Curiosity Ship." lUster Humphrey's Oock^andsla thetonsr quaint hsl-

mets and snita of armor hang in the corners, a rifle and enormous pistol adorn the walls, everything odd and ingenious. Mrs. Squeers, Miss McEwsn, with her wooden spoon looks too youthful for the part of matron to-those sturdy boys, but the make np of Robert Sterrett ss Mr. Squeers the school teacher la inlmicable. A better Pic wick than Sim Locke could not be found, and Mr. Hartwell as Qullp and Frank Barton as Grandfather Trent are the best made up of any of the Dickens characters. Did I say tha best? Then I forgot Frank Teel whose noee alone would proclaim him Fsgin the old Jew, and Charlie Adams as Samuel Veller who does, not seem to be at all afraid of the widow—Miss Paddock. Betsy Trotwood has a good representative in Mrs. Charles Brokaw Miss Ttllle Ball appears in the ooquettish oostume of Dolly Varden and Miss Kit Broksw asm the crutch of Lucy Wren as well ss the original could.

The iMXt booth is ia initstion of the Spanish Alhambra as given by Irving. The frent of the' booth is draped with lace curtains, half hiding and half revealing the dusky besutles within, hanging baskets and tropical plants add beauty-and fragrance while the Spanish flag flamee in gold and scarlet above the entranoe. Here King Ferdinand reignB in-state ably assisted by the lovely Isa Mia. These two, Dr. Stetson and Miss fteddle make as fine an appearanoe ss •any in the room, Miss Peddle's- dress of •rich velvet and sstin being especially becoming. All of the ladies in this booth are dressed In rich and becoming costumes. Satins of old gold, scarlet snd bine, covered with elegant lace with jewelry of pearls, coral and diamonds, Of course the inevitable veil of, black laoe adorns the bead, which would render the plalneet face attractive, and only adds a softened besuty to the sparkling Usees found here. The ladies of honor in the Alhambra are Mrs. F. A. Ross, Mis. Hnestis, Mrs. Thstoher Par ker, Mrs. Chas. Warren and the Misses Sszie Bsll, Hager, and Mlnsball.

The next booth is the headquarters for Juies Verne's fanciful yet graceful ideas.^The ft^yit of ir.repropen flftamoth she!!* While the sid$s o^ithe bo^«i^Mi#^JM^hs of the oceaii— •tiilis sis I jpffift r^ir mingling in graceful confusion. Farther on we find a shsdowy cave, and as we sit here sad eat iee cream we can almost hear the plash of waves. In this booth sre to be found some of the most beauti ful young lsdies in the room. The dresses are generally white with trim mings of shells, sea mosses, pearls and ooral. Among these msy be mentioned the Misses Csrrie Fuller, Eliza Hudson Whitie Morris, Jennie Foote and Grace Teel, also Misses Gilbert, Patrick, Gibson and Wright. With the assistance of Messrs. Cox, Hartwell and others In

lads,

snd novel

sailor oostume, this pretty scene is rendered complete. Across the hall from the Verne near the door, ia the Vale of Caahmere, one of the prettiest booths in the room It is in imitation of Moore's beautiful poem Lalla Rookh, and oan be best ap predated by those familiar with his writings. But whether understood or not eveny one oan but acknowledge the scene a beautiful one. The throne drap ed in fleecy lace adds softened light to the features of the beautiful priaoess, Lalla Rookh. India wraps, hangings and rugs are strewn around In graceful profusion. Flowers, vines, and shrubs enhance the scene, while upon one side lsrge painting represents the tropical splendor of the Indlsn forests and vsl ley. The first two evenings the role of princess was assumed by Miss Mollie Hsrrison, who made very pretty picture, later by Miss EmtnaBaland Whose dsrk eyes and hair rendered her especially fitted for the character. With her brilliant oomplexion, heightened by the laoe veil she wore, a lovelier queen oould hardly be found. Charles Wil liams looked hsndsome ss Feramorz, and played the part of lover so well that one was foroed to believe it wss not a new part. Fadladeen, the critic of poetry, waa not present often enough for us to make his acquaintance. The ladiee' dresses In this booth were very gsy and attractive, composed of bill liant akirts aud jacketa, India scarfti and ssshes with fife~v white veils clasped on their heads by coronets of pearls. Lalla Rookh's ladies of honor were Mrs. M. W. Williams, and the Misses Fannie Warren, Hannah Smith, Hattie Smith, Walmsley and Psrker. Here were sold button hole boquets.

At the east end of the hsll wss the children's booth, but it wss mostly derted, the little ones flitting hither and thither ss flower girls, angels, sailers, king snd queen of hearts, etc., in pretty oonfusion.

Each evening a grand march of the characters took plaoe, said by the obrs to be akrae worth the prioe of admission. It was generally led by Hamlet and Ophelia, and wss aa admirable opportunity for seeing all of the characters at ones. Tableaux each evening 1ms been an Interesting feature, those representing statuary beiny especially good. Added to all of dis the annul of tirist mnsln ami ttiniiiiflnuml
