BOTH Garfield and Hanoook own farms, and the granger vote can be divided.

GEN. HANCOCK hasn't began writing his letter of acceptance, and says it will not be ready 'or a fortnight.

"Is tbe bot weather the cause? In one Tssue or a Chicago paper last Sunday there were mention of fourteen suicides.

THE reported failure of tbe wheat crop In tho Northwest is untrue and tbe average yield will exceed that of last year. _________

GOOD news from Ireland. The potato crop promises to exceed anything seen in that capricious island since tbe famine of 1847.

THE distressing heat of tbe past few days has caused a large inorease in tbe number of suicides throughout tbe country.

GEN. GARFIELD bas not exaotly said tbat tbe Chinese "must go," but he is opposed to their coming in the form of importation or invasion.

A NEW YOBK telegram, of Thursday, states tbat seventy-two ohildren died in that city from the effects of beat during tho past twenty innr hours.

CONKMMG will go to Europe and stay until October. Is this a polite method ©f letting Now York politics alone during tho present campaign?^,

HAKOOCK will have the advant&goof writing bis letter after knowing what 'Garfield's is. The closing speech is generally considered a great advantage.

HON. A. G. PDRTER, the Republican candidate for Governor, is certainly tbe champion speech maker. Last Wednesday be got off twelve speeches—no two of a kind.

THK French Republic celebrated its Ftoorth of July on the 14tb, In a manner befitting the occasion. Paris was gorgeous at night with fireworks, one pyrotechnic piece alone costing #6,000. There need be no fear for a nation upon whieh 1 freedom has a bold tike this.

ANOTHER terrible coal mine explosion took place in tbe London and South Wales colliery company's new mine, at Rises, on Thursdsy. There were 128 men in tbe mine at the time, most, if not all, of whom perished.

THERE is possibly another dnel brew* ing South Carolina. The son of CoL Cash, who killed Shannon, bas notified the editor of the Charleston News and Courier that publications reflecting on bis father most cease from date.

DB TALMAQB is about to take bia summer vacation. It consists in traveling over tbe country and lecturing in tbe principal towns through which he panes. Tbe sensational pastor has developed a fair portion of financial talent.

THE Frenchman's Fourth of July was a great success. Tbe women's eyes flashed and tbe men embraced each other and wept. It is to be hoped tbat there is as much bottom as there is detn onstration to the Frenchman's republi canism.

PERHAPS Dr. Tanner belongs to the fish species. At any rate he seems to be able to live on water, having gained four pounds in one day by a pretty free use of it. Tbe prospect seems to be that he will hold out for some time yet on a water diet. '.'.'V

CONGRESSMAN MCCABE claims to have discovered new evidence of corruption on tbe part of bis opponent, Ortb, and wants the case reopened. As Orth'8 majority was only about ninety votes it will not be very difficult for a Democratic House to decide in McCabe's fiavor. rv"::

AN Iowa man come to his death in a singular way recently. He was stung by a bee on the back of the neck and immediately become dizzy and blind, and in half an hour be was dead. An examination showed that the poison was taken into tho system and paralysis of the heart ensued.

HON. A. G. PORTER arrived at his home in Indianapolis on Wednesday and received an immense ovation at tbe hands of his neighbors, friends and bis party generally. The crowd in the evening is said to have resembled that when Col. Ingersoll made his famous speech to the soldiers in 1878.

STATE elections preceding the general election in November will ocour this year as follows: Arkansas, first Monday of September Vermont, first Tuesday of September Maine, second Monday In September Colorado, first Tuesday of October Indiana, Ohio, and West Vir ginia, second Tuesday of October.

LAST Sunday a squad of Indianapolis boys started out to hunt frogs, taking with them a shot gun heavily loaded. The boy with the gun saw a turtle at whioh he fired, lodging the contents of his weapon in the abdomen of one of his companions with fatal effect. Hunt ing frogs with shot guns is rather risky sport.

THE total immigration to this country during tbe past six months has been 177,000, being 19,000 more than for the same period of 1872, which was the highest year for the past quarter of a century. It is said that most of tbe immigrants are of a much better class than usual, and bring savings with them that will enable them to get a foothold.

H. P, HUBBARD, the enterprising Sdvertising agent, of New Haven, Conn., has recently published a Newspaper Direotory—a complete list of American newspapers and of tho leading newspapers of the world. Tbe price is only fl.50, and it is just what every large advertiser wants. It is the be?t arranged work of the kind that has come to our notice.

NEW YORK claims to use more flowers than any other city in the world. There are some 500 floral establishments within the city limits with a capital of from 18,000,000 to 110,000,000. Rich people often spend as much aa$1,000for flowers at a grand entertainment, while flOO to 9200 is a common expenditure. Tbe sales of flowers for decoration on New Years's day are estimated to amount to |50,00°.

THE New York Tribune gives an ex ample of the profits of sbeep raising, as illustrated by a Kentucky flock of 15 Cotswold ewes, costing 158 in 1866. In ten years the sales of wool and male lambs annually realised $4,800. In 1877 the sales amounted to $1,500, and in 1878 to 9900, leaving in 1879 a flock of 190 sheep, worth $2,800. Thus over 910,000 was realised In twelve years flrom a flock of 15 head.

MR. JAMES Yotrao, the Pennsylvania farmer prince, has 1240 acres of choice lacd on the Susquehanna river, ten miles from Harrfsborg. Then are miles of whitewashed fences on tbe forms, and an average crop la some 8,090 bushels of wheat, 13,W0 of corn, 8,000 of oats, and 700 tons of hay, betides 20 acres of tobacco, and other sundries. Hie land la kept og to Its high condition of fertility by the most earefnl and systematic saving of every particle of manure, solid and liquid.

THE trial

Mrs. Brown* at Indian

apolis, for tbe murder ot ber husband, ended last Monday with a verdict of death, being the same penalty fixed by the jury who tried her paramour, Wade. This is only the aeoond Instance la the history of the State, we believe, of tbe death penalty being pronounoed against a woman. Tbe other case was tbat of a woman in Wabash many years ago, whose sentence was commuted to imprisonment tor lire, and she is yet living and serving In the Womanfe Reformatory,

GEN. GARPIEED'S letter of acceptance has been before tbe country for several dsys. It is a plain, nnpretentiooa document, such as might be expected from tbe man, and deals with the subject of current interest in a simple, clear and statesmanlike manner. It la replete with geod sense and the observstions of a man of large experience in public affairs. _______________

CONSIDERING the effect of mental worry snd disappointment in producing insanity, it is almost surprising tbst the many failures of men in business, especially of middle aged men with considerable families, do not produce a greater number of lunatics than they do. It shows, however, that there may be a great deal worth living for even when property and social position are gone.

AN English reviewer expresses the opinion that tbe most delightful pas Bages in fiction are those which describe eating and drinking soenes, and cites tbe careful manner in which Ssott arranges hia victualing department. There may be some ground for the opinion, but we are inclined to think tbst those passages which exhibit human nature in tbe attitude of love-making must be he held to bear off the palm. Tr

A CORRESPONDENT gives a pleasant picture of Gen. Garfield's Washington home, which is a plain, square brick with awing to the East. Tbe library, a room about 25x14 feet, is perbape the most interesting room in the house, because it is ''the workibg ground of a man of energy and ideas." The room is covered by a pattern carpet which leaves a margin of the stained floor about three feet wide all around the room. In the centre, under tbe chandelier, is a double walnut office desk, with a por tentiouB array of pigeon holes. The wallB are covered with books, arranged In cases of various sizes and designs, no two being alike. Theje are two or three thousand volumes, comprising tbe sub jects of law, history, .biography, politics, philosophy and poetry. There is no trash in tbe collection. Mr. Garfield, besides this, has a considerable home in Ohio It is said that his devotion to his books is only second to his love of family and domestic tastes. He Is very fond of olassical literature and often resorts to It for recreation when overworked in his publio duties.

WHILE Gen. Garfield was touching on the Chinese question It is a little slngu lar tbat he overlooked an evil in tbe same direction which is vastly more pernicious than the former one. The plague of Mormonism is constantly and rapidly extending—more rapidly thau our people have any conception of. Already this wealthy and powerful sect have taken possession of nearly all the fertile lands of Utah, and have established colonies in Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho and Arizona. They are also reaching Into Colorado, and in Conejos county they are gaining so fast as to threaten to gain oontrol of tbe county. The people of that State are apprehensive that tbe purpose of the Mormons is to take part in politics and Influence legislation. Meantime, while there are laws upon the statute book oi tbe United States, which, if enforced, would utterly extir pate tbe practice of polygamy, the monstrous thing Is permitted to grow unchecked, and become more formidable with every year. And yet it mast be manifest to every thinking person that sooner or later this upas tree will have to be cut down. Is It not about time that the cutting be commenced

THE advent of summer does not bring suoh a relief to the poor of tbe l^rge cities as is generally supposed. Their Bufferings are just as great, and if statistics are valuable, -$bf mortality is fifty per cent more thah in the winter. All cities are alike, and the following, a part of "Howards" letter from New York to the Philadelphia Times, shows the condition of the poor In that city: "If I were a physician I could find texts for a tengtby and Interesting screed in the fearful mortsllty tobies ubllshed daily in our papers. New ^ork's little ones are going faster tbsn

PJ they come. Poverty may not be a sin in tbose who have to Dear it, but it is an unquestionable curse, tbat carries in its train discomfort, disease snd death, and opens up one of those never satisfied questions: If all this could hsve been obviated, why are we compelled to bear it? It makes my heartsick as I pass through our dirty streets. Hslf clsd children, hungry men snd ststternly women greet my sisbt wherever I go. Whose fault is it? Theirs? They would be clothed, well fed and comfortable If they bad the chance, I reckon. And tbeie is no wsy to help thom. Tbe spasmodic relief of an occasional dime does no good. It goes to beer or gin at once. I tell you we are fa a Sodom tbat beats old Gomorrah any day In the year, and Got bam stands, not because sbe deserves to, but because tbe age of miracles Is peat. And yet tbe Home Journal clubs will tell you 'there Is no one in town— everybody IS gone to tbe sessbore.' Wb bless their dear hearts, out of oar ml! lion and a quarter I doubt If 75,000 are gone away, and positively tbe hack streets seem more populous than ever.'

THE New York Sun sums up tbe recent duel In Soath Carolina in this forceful way:

Sixty years old, universally be loved and respected, dead as the tool dies—this is tbe epitaph of Col. Shannon, of South Carolina. He was averse to duelling, It appears, but because of bis refusal ef a challenge anoth er South Carolina colonel had "patted" him. So, by way of mending matters, he stifled his scruples, took down his pistols, perhaps kissed his children a little more tenderly than usual, went out from his home in ail the vigor of mature manhood, and a few hours later was lying dead upon the grass.

The new oath tor the French soldiers oonfadu n» reference either to Diety or to tbe republic. £t reads: "In the name of tbe regiment, I swear ha my honor to remain fattbfal to the constitution, and to defend tbe flag until death."

THE MYSTERIOUS MODEL,

WHY THE WIFE OK A HERALD COR. RESPONDENT POSEB BEFORE ART CLASSED

Interview with John Mulvany in the Kansas City Times. On my retarn from Europe. I became a member of the Artistic League, in New York City, and had a studio next to Hartley, tbe sculptor. While looking about for a model, I heard of a lady who had the reputation of having a wonderfully fine figure, and who would be apt to be willing to serve as a model, since she wss very poor and out of employment. I sent her a request to call at my studio. 8he did so, aooom'panled by a friend, a lady petite in figure, but with a lovely face. The lady I nad sent my card to told me sbe baa just found employment, and could not therefore serve me, but ber friend, whom she introduced as Mrs. Wood, hsd consented to act as a model for me, provided she proved satisfactory. I tola Mrs. Wood that it was customary for artists to Inspect tbeir models before engaging tbeir services would she retire to tbe ante room and remove ber apparel? Sbe said sbe would return tbe next day and submit to the inspection. Next day sbe returned, ooking very pale and nervous. She evidently dreaded the ordeal of appearing in tbe nude state. Hartley was ia tbe studio with me, and we spoke kindly to her, and bade her dismiss her agitation' When she stepped out of the ante-room she presented a picture tbat was a feast to our eyes we agreed tbat sbe was one of the most perfectly formed creatnres we had ever seen. Her neck, shoulders, torso, and limbs were models of themselves, while her face, in womanly sweetness and artistic regularity was matchless. When sbe bad once more attired herself 1 told ber it would be a week before I should be able to give ber employment. When sbe beard this her eyes filled with tears. I saw there was some grief troubling ber. I asked ber if she was suffering if she needed money. Then she tola rce her story she was the wife of a gentleman who for several years had been a correspondent of the New York Herald in Europe bis health had become impaired be bad returned home, and was now lying sick in bed at their boarding place. They were very poor, and the wife bad determined to do something for their support. Sbe wept as Bhe told her story, ana I saw she was sincere. I gave her 910 as a loan and sent ber with a note of introduction to Church, the artist, knowing tbat he would give her employment in his young ladles'class. I was successful in my efforts. Church was delighted with ber figure, and for some time she made her 97 a day posing ss a model before the ladles' class. Sbe retained ber nom de plnmeof Mrs. Wood, and her Identity was never discovered. Tbe ladles tried in every way to discover who she was, but never succeeded. She always appeared before them In a nude state, and after ber studies she would slip Into her room and dress and steal out ef tbe building surreptitiously. Sbe became a popular model, and contluued to earn a large competence till ber husband got well and was able to renew work. Then she retired from tbe field as a model. Her husband knew bow sbe bad made money during his illness, but be never mentioned it to me bis gratefulness, however, lor my favor was manifested in a thousand delicate ways. You would be surprised to bear bis came. He is a writer well known In New York.

SALARIES OF ACTORS. One frequently comes across an advertisement or a notice in tbe newspapers —they are botb advertisements, for the matter of that—to the effect that a certain actor or performer has been engaged for tbe season at a fabulous salary, and the public at large is expected to swallow the paragraph without making awry face. This style of sdvertising is much in vogue among minstrel managers of tbe Haverly and Hooley stripe, but tbey must lmsgine tbat tbe people are, to use a minstrel vulgarism 'easily "gulled."

Haverly announoes that he haa secured the services of Mr. Wm. Emerson in consideration of paying him 9800 per week for tbe season, and Hooley, In turn, makes known to the publlo that happy Cal. Wagner has been scoured to strengthen his oompany, and for services rendered is to receive 9260 per week. Tbat snch salaries are sot paid to minstrel performers is pateut to all who know any tblngabout the business snd it Is rather singular that suoh man agers as Haverly aod Hooley, especially tbe former,should make such sssertlons. Billy Emerson, In his day. was undoubtedly a good performer and a drawing card, but even at his best he was never worth more than 9100 a week, and now his day bas passed and gone. 975 a week for the season would be a large salary for him, provided be would "swear off" and always be In a condition to attend to business. Cal. Wagner, when under tbe oontrol of Haverly, was good endman and an attractive addition to a minstrel company bnt when Haverly severed his connection with him, Wagner took a downward oonrse and bas never amounted to much slnoe.

There are plenty of performers In the business, better than either Emerson or Wagner, who can readily be engaged for $50 a week. No reputable manager Is going to allow the public to know what salaries he pays bis performers it is purely a business matter into which tbe pubtlc have neither Interest or right to Inquire.. How would it look for a Main street merchant to advertise tbat be had engaged the services of no. Smith, salesman, for the snm of 9500 a week? Rather unmeroantile, I should say. Tbe publio go to a minstrel performance to be amused, aod It matters not weather the end man or comedian receives 910 or 9S00 a week, provided he amuses them, and tbe time honored jokes sound no fresher from the month

managers, who endeavor to draw large audiences by such fraudulent representation, do not deserve to be patronized. When you see published in the papers that a certain performer is paid large salsry, you can at ones make up your mind that the statement is false, and •ten tbat tbe performer Is only a secondary attraction, or otherwise socb tactics would not be resorted to for the purpose of advertising him.—loalsvilis Argtuk

THE DAT IS PASSED. Detroit Hews. Tbe day when people would suffocate themselves in scioee opera bouse on a bot summer night to listen to half a dossn common place and ptatttndlnal •peeehes by men wbo dilute their few Ideas with an ocean of verbal swsah Is iisnsmt and we trust forever. That aort oftblng ia good enough for the aemlcivilised "crackers" of the Kentucky and Tennessee bottoms, wbo rarely see a newspaper and could not alwsys read it if tbey did but our northern people know better.

DOIPT DO IT.

Don't be too unselfish. Trust your friends with your purse, bnt keep your own secrets.

Don't parade your vices before the world. Some things are known without advertising.

Don't Imagine tbat you have nothing to learn. The man that "knew it all" died of cold feet.

Dout give your friend too much advice. Even friendship's offerings are not always acceptable.

Don't try to see political preferment through the bottom of a glass. Your object will be too transparent.

Don't say "I nefed the exercise." Five minutes with a wood saw is better, and it doesn't cost twenty oents per game.

Don't "wear your heart ou your coat sleeve." If it be pore it will shrink from the public gaze if false, vice versa.

Don't adorn your person with jewelery. Tbose wbo had a finger in the whiskey ring are tired of steel braoelets.

Don't ask your pbyalclsn, when he makes a friendly call, to prescribe for your heart disease he may oonaider the affected member too small to notice.

Don't growl about the milliner's bill. A man who has proper respect for bis wife's head will not have the heart to find fault with the hand that adorns if be does, he should be ashamed of himself.

HOW '10 PROLOGO LIFE 0

1. Keep in the sunlight just ss much as possible. A plant will not thrive without the sunbesm much less a man. 2. Breathe as much fresh air as your business will permit. This makes fresh blood but It will never be found within the four walls of your building. Be neath tbe open sky, just there, and only there, it comes to you. 3. Be strictly temDerate. You cannot break organic law,' or any other law, with impunity. 4. Keep tbe feet always warm and the head cool. Disease ana death begin at the feet more commonly than we think. 5. Eat white bread when you oan't get brown bread.

6. If out of order, see which of the above rules you have not observed, then rub yourself all over with a towel, saturatea with salt water, and well dried, and begin upon tbe rulea again. 7. Look ever on tbe bright, which is the heaven side, of life. This Is far better than any medlolne.

These seven simple rules, good for the valid or invalid, if rightfully observed, would save a deal of pain, prolong your life, and so far as health goes, make it worth having.

THE IDEAL AND REAL. New Haven Register, Tbe ideal husband is a kind-hearted, noble man, with tbe figure of an Apollo and beauty of an Adonis, who pays the same delicate attentions to his wife tbat he did before their troth was plighted the real husband is a round-shouldered, grizzly-looking fellow, wbo buys the second quality of butter for the table, eats his meals at a down town resturant, and only remembers tbat be is married when be is obliged to pay the household expenses.

The ideal housewife is a wonan wbo keeps her home in the most delightful order, wbooooks the most delicious dinners, and presides at the tea table with tbe grace of a queen the real housewife is a woman whose feoe is red and blazed with the cooking over

hot stove, whose

voice is sharp and earnest and who fust "slats" things sround any wbere.no matter where, in order to get her work done in season for a buzz over tbe baok yard fence with tbe neighbors.

Tbe ideal politician is a man whose breast is heaving full of patriotism land whose interest In In tbe welfare of the

country is second only to bis allegiance to (Divine power tbe real politician Is a man with bis bands full of wire, pulling in all directions, from the dram shops to the pulpit, to worm himself Into ah official position with big pay and lots of nothing to do.

The ideal baby Is a little fallow with tbe daintiest tinted cheeks, curliest hair, sweetest little "ooo," and with angel's wings just sprouting from his shoulders the real baby Is a young wad of humanity with open valves, screaming all tbe time, fnzz on his bala bead like thistle down, and as for angel's wings—well, tbey aon't fasten them, on with safety pins.

BE BRIEF. Exchange.

tbem. Life Is short. Time is short. Moments are precious. Learn to condense, abridge, and Intensify. We can endure many an ache and ill If it is soon over, while even pleasuree grow Insipid and pain intolerable If tbey are protracted beyond tbe limits of reason and convenience. Learn to be short. Lop off branches stick to the main facts in your case. If you pray, ask for what you would receive, and get through. If you speak, tell your message ana hold yonr peace boil down two words Into one, and three into two. Always learn to be short. PREFERRED MONEY TO RIGHT. jLafayeUe Courier.

At a little home on Fifth street In tbis city, a woman bas recently died wbo bad a history for which }t. would be difficult to find a parallel. She hsd been married, snd upon the death of ber busbshd, wss willed a considerable amount of property upon the condition tbst sbe would not marry again. In after years sbe meta man sbe loved, and would have married but for tbe cruel and binding oontract. As it waa sbe simply cut tbe knot bv living with him without msrrisce.

OUR FLOATING POPULATION Indianapolis News. Tbe taking of the census calls attention to tbat large class of persons without "a local habitation not merely tramps, gypsies, and such birds of passage who wander to and fro in tbe earth, and who have not, even in tbe contemp'ation of the law, a residence, but tbose wbo live about in spots from tbe nature of the work by which tbey gain an honest livllhood. Just now, or within the past few days, there were five hun* dred and odd Germans picking strawberries In Ulster county, New York. These people, says a Pougbkeepsle letter to tbe New York Times, are

Industrious,

though improvident. They have no permanent local habitation,' but are forever on tbe go. Most of them have a regular route. During the later part of May tbey pick peas in New Jersey./ Then comes the strawberry harvest. Alter this thev visit the Hudson river fruit farms. When tbe raspberry crop is over, about July 25, some go to the others

bop farms, and others holp gather the peaoh crop. Arter bop picking, towards the end of September, tbey go

to New Jersey to pick cranberries, or

to Pennsylvania to husk corn. When oorn husking is through it Is almost winter. They then go to Baltimore and Norfolk and nire out to oyster boatmen or work as openers for the canning firms. When spring oomes they fish for shad in the Susquehanna and Potamac rivers. At the close of shad fishing peas are aflain ready for pioking In New Jersey, and they recommence their annual round. Some of them have followed thla vagrant oourse of life for years. Just new there are upwards of a thou-* snd of these fitting folks on the Hudson alone, of whom the census taker will never know one.
