IT is not many years since 2:11% seemed as far in the impossible as 2:00 does now. Is it not possible that the slow but steady improvement in trotting stook will oat down the best mile reoord to two minutes before the end of this century

MRS. WALKER, of Indianapolis, whose rare presence of mind secured the capture of Rodifer, has received many words of praise from various sourcei. It is another illustration of the fact that there is much dormant heroism which only needs an opportunity to disclose itself

THAT the South, into which there has been little immigration, with the excep* tlon of Texas and West Virginia, and from which many people have gone, should show a greator ratio of increase in population than tbe North, is hardly credible. And yet tbe census seems to

®»y IF a writer of fiolion should bause obe of bis lady characters to oome to her death by her clothing being set on fire by a spark from tbe cigar of a gentleman walking at her side, itwonld be regarded as rather a stretch of the imagination. Yet auoh a death aotually occurred at Lancaster, Pa., the other day. telegraph pole question has beo'— important and troublesome one in all the larger cities, owing to the rapid multiplication of wires for use in telegraphic and telephonic service. These poles and wires are getting to be a decided nuisanoe, but how to remedy the evil is a problem which has not yet been satisfactorily solved.

AN exchange fears that the iixtraorI nary efforts whiob are put forth to save criminals will presently render it impossible to conviot the most malicious fiend in the world of murder in the first degree. But the pendulum of public sentiment will get to swinging the other way, by and by. There are signs of it already. Over at Indianapolis they have no trouble getting murderers convicted and have even sentenced a woman to be huug.

WHtut the crimes and casualitlea on sea and land and under the land, of tbe year 1880 have been collated, if they ever are, tbe number and variety of them will make an extraordinary record. The people who were predicting, from a peculiar combination of planetary influences, a season remarkable for crimes, accidents and misfortunes of various kinds, seem to have hit it pretty well. There has certainly not been its match in these respects for many years.

THK Connecticut Legislature has been wrcetling with tbe jury question and has enacted a law with reference to its improvement which provides that jurors mast be at least thirty yean old, and must be "esteemed in the community as men oi good character, approved In tegrity, sound Judgment and fair education." Tbe duty of obtaining such men for jury service Is imposed upon tbe selectmen of tbe town. Tbe law, if faithfully executed, cannot help making a noticeable improvement In Ue quality of jurors. A good law on this subject to urgently needed In Indiana and should be forthcoming.

MORS miles of new railroad ware laid last year in the United States than In any year ainee 1873, tbe increase In mileage being 4,731 miles. Statistics in dioate that the railways now in process of construction, or which have been projected, will exceed la mileage the in* crease tot 1879. This railway building extenda into almost every Mate of the Union, and with few exceptions tbe completion of the projected roods Is probable. Tbe proposed linns are, as a rale, intended to develop new regions, which need better transportation facilities, and many of them are built by strong com­

THB BODIFEB CASK.

Tbe pardoning out of prison of tbe notorious criminal, William Rodifer, and his violent death soon after while engaged in bnrglarising tbe bouse of a citizen, suggests several reflections.

Tbe first is that the pardoning power is liable to great abuse, and was never intended to be need in the wholesale manner it has daring tbe present administration of affairs in this State. It was designed simply and only as a dernier reeort for preventing the execution of a sentence which has been disoovered to be erroneous, or, at most, of extremely doubtful justice, by developments oocurring after tbe trial and conviction. That it was intended as a key pot into tbe Governor's hand for opening the prison doors and turning a horde of criminals loose upon tbe people, was never suspected until tbe present occupant game into the gubernatorial chair.

Secondly, it is manifest enough that there Is a class of criminals who are such from choice. They deliberately select thieving and burglary for tbelr regular occupation. They take their lives in their hands atd go out to prey upon soaiety, prepared to add murder to their other crimes )n case It becomes neceesary to save themselves from capture. Suoh men as them are the pest and terror of society. They impose upon honest, peaceful citizens a heavy burden of anxiety and dread. Like Macbethi they murder sleep. They are worse than ferocious wild beasts, and for tbe same reason ought to be put out of the wsy. Tears and sentimentality spent on them are worse than wasted. They are human tigers that can no more be tamed than those can which inhabit jangles.

Thirdly, self-protection is the first law of life. It is not pleasant to have to make an arsenal of one's house indeed there is great danger in doing so, especially where there are young children. And yet it would be an excellent thing if every robber who forces his way into a private residence during tbe silent hours of the night, for the purpose of plunder, oould be shot down in his tracks. It is only a matter of regret that all of them do not meet Rodlfer's fate at the very threshold of their careers of shame and crime. It would be better for sooiety and better for tbe criminals, for It would save them from tbe crimes which otherwise are sure to follow. We recommend the heroic method of dealing with these human wild beats. Tears,^ entreaties and kindness are worse than wasted on them. Their hands are against all men let all men's bands be against them. Let it be understood, once for all, that Invading our houses in tbe night time is, like stepping over the

udead

line," certain death.

It will have a healthy effect on the criminal community. Tbe lumber ing maohineryof the law is not fully sdequate to deal with these villains. Its efforts need to be supplemented by the vigorous assistance of all law abiding citizens.

THH growth of Kansas, which shows an increase In population of about 100,000 a year daring the past five years, can hardly oontinue at that rate. The eastern counties of tbe Stste bsve become pretty tbiokly settled, and the price of land has so steadily increased, that there are no longer the Inducements to attraot Immigrants thither that once existed. And as to the western half tbe State, the constantly recurlng droughts render it an uninviting and hszardous region to live In. The drought of tbe present year has rendered assistance necessary to thousands of the people. What effect the cultivation of the country will have upon tbe rain fall, from which much is expected, remains to be seen. In time it may and probably will produoe important results, bnt necessarily they will come only after the lapse Of many years and cannot be depended on to supply the Immediate and urgent needs of tbe immigrant. It is probable, therefore, that the tide of emigration will turn to the Northward, or still farther to the West.

IT IS claimed for tbe oity of New York that it contains more inhabitants than any of the States of Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont and West Virgin!* and that Manhattan Island contains mora people than Maine and New Hampshire together, with nearly all of Vermont thrown In.

LONDON Is still skeptical of Dr. Tanner and two gentlemen of tbat city offer a wager of 95,000 that the doctor csn't fast another forty days and nights under watchers o! their selection. Tanner will hardly accept the challenge when he can make as much money in half tbe time by lecturing. It Is a good opening for some other follow to make a reputation through. __=!==^^=5

TOT death of Adelaide NeUson robs the kage of one of its most popular ornaments.

TEKRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

WHY THE BOOT MUSL GHFR

AN OPINION OP THE "TIME^" The obstinate survival of the human boot haa long been a sutyeot of amazement to tbe student of social custoaos. At the preeent moment, while the thermometer is smong tbe nineties, and Manitoba Is sending hot waves, in all directions, thousands of comparatively intelligent men are wearing boots that beat weir feet and legs cruelly and unneoesssrily. Tbey wear boots merely bees use previous generations of men, living under peculiar conditions, found boots useful. This is the dullest And moet inexcusable kind of conservatism. Tbe boot wss originally an outside article of dress. In esrller days Europe was terribly muddy, and trousers and stockings were costly. The msle European, therefore, wore boots with enormously long legs. By this means he protected his lower garments from mud, and kept bis feet comparatively dry. With the progress of civilization tbe mnd of Europe dried up. Westher bureaus were established which continually prophesied areas of rain and frequent local showers. Of course, these never msde tbelr appearance, and one necessary ingredient of mnd wss therefore wanting. Street pavements became common, and street sweepers occasionally swept them clean, iu these circumstances boots censed to be either necessary or useful, but tbe conservative European mind was unable to abandon tbem. Instead, however, of continuing to wear boots outside of their trousers, the Europeans drew tbelr trousers over their bootlegs. This wss an open oonfession tbat boots were useless, and tbat aU tbe wants of tbe human foot could be met by shoes. Tbe bootleg survived merely because of the stupid conservatism of its wearers, and should tbe climate of Europe ever beoome so hot that overcoats would lose tbelr reason for being, we might expect to see tbe respectable conservstive wearing his overcoat under his shirt. In tbe civilized parts of this country tbe boot is worn tor the same reason that it IB worn on tbe other side of the Atlantic. In tbe far West, where rattlesnakes abound, tbe boot fulfills its normal purpose, and is worn outside of of the trousers. Elsewhere, however, it is merely an illustration o! human tolly, and there is not tbe slightest excuse for its existence. There are certain classes which have an immoral interest in preserving the popularity of boots. The shoemaker always prefers to make a boot rather than a shoe, because It takes more leather, and henoe a higher price can be charged for it. He knows perfectly well that the leather used in manufacturing a boot-leg will be of no possible use to tbe purchaser, but what does he care for tbat, provided he can make out a bill for a pair of boqts? Then tbe doctors sre advocates of bootwearing. Tbey know tbat tbe praotice of casing tbe the legs and feet with air tight leather in hot weather is an 'excellent plan for over- heating tbe blood and Inducing sunstroke and other diseases. We need not wonder, therefore, tbat unprincipled doctors, anxious only to gain patients, earnestly sdvise everybody to wear boots, and tbat more conscientious doctors scrupulously avoli saying anything that might oast suspicion upon boots. Finally, there are the temperance lecturers, who know tbat boot legs afford a refuge for tbe imaginary snakes of delirious drunkards and wbo encourage the wearing of boots in tbe bope that drunkards may thereby be terrified into repentance and reformation. In fact, boots are among tbe most efficient aids of the temperance cause, and were our drunkards to- wniversally wear shoes, tbey' would never be driven to temporary reformation by tbe visit of alooholio reptiles. In the Western States there lingers, according to the local press, a curious custom, which involves tbe wearing of boots by fathers of marriageable girls. It appears that when a young man visit* a young woman with the intention of ultimately making her his wife, the glri's father rushes upon blm, sod with bis right boot urges blm to fight. This is doubtless a survival of a custom still prevailing among certain barbarous tribes, in accordance with which a lover is expected to kidnap bis intended wife, and her father is expected to pursue him, and, if possible, to chastise bim. However this may be, no one can read tbe Western newspapers without meeting constant allusions to the wrathful parental boot and tbe flying lover. The existence of this remarkable custom neces­

requires that fatbera of marriageable girls should wear boots.* That young men should wear them by no means follows, and there is no doubt that were Western lovers to wear only light shoes, their ohancee of eecaping tbe boot clad father would be materially increased. Woman long since emancipated herself from boots. It is true that she wears a variety of shoe to whiob she unwarrantably gives the name of boot, but it has nothing in oommon with tbe groes and brutal boot of a man. Of late years sensible men have not disdained to Imitate tbe female buttoned boot, and have found tbat in all reepecta It answers the purpose. It oovers the foot and ankle, and affords ample protection against the cold. All the finer feellnga of our nature would revolt at tbe thought of in*asing our women in tbe masculine boot, and we look with horror on some strong minded women who venture on winter days to put on a pair of robber boots. This fact ought to call tbe attention of men to tbe indefensible nature of their own boots, *nd if they null off tbe leather boots from tbelr own legs before venturing to pull off the rubber boots of their strong minded sisters. It has been maintained with much plausibility tbat tbe black silk bat is the highest development of idiooy. This is probably true, for the black bat has not the excuse of fiver having been useful or justifiable. While In behalf or tbe boot it can be urged that it once had its uses, its retention in civilized communities is at least aa preposterous ss tbe continued wearing of tbe black bat, and the day is coming when both will be discarded, except by professional idiots and tramps lost to all self respect.

CAMP MEETING. Ind. People.

It hi said "God movealn a mysteroos way his wonders to preform" but we will wager a small amount tbat tbe Almighty never moved toward a camp meeting to perform a wonder, much less any thing else. We took upon a camp meeting as a sort of a religious picnic, where the over-sealous, forgetting their empty pews at home, hold high religious carnival on the »wnrd. The majority of the visitors expect only a "holly tcne," as one of ttem obeerved In our presence, taking espedal care to "toad up** before tbetr departure. While poor soul may be saved by this system of tent frolic, yet the number km will doubtless ffcr outweigh the number saved. It does seem ap*eoe of unpardonable foolishness to dose our maasive and elegant tabervadea in tbedty for a three weeks' questionable siege In tbe woods.

SOLID A ATTIRE.

A DRESSTHAT MADE A SENSATION AT NEWPORT—TELE SMOCK FROCK TRANSFORMED.

New York Graphic.

Everything that is novel, striking, picturesque and becoming la permitted,provided it is not incongruous. Such a hat as the one last mentioned, for example, would be out of place with a toilet of strictly conventional elegance, but with a plain^creamy white gown and fichu of mull and lace it was charming. The loveliest imported ooetumea are made of cream silk muslin over soft cream silk or satin, with trimmings of satin and plaited lace or fringe and embroidery upon tulle or silk net. They cost, but French costumes always do cost, and are not "{esthetic." Tbey are too elaborate and oonventionly for that, but are excessively rich'and distinguished looking, and there are occasions when this Is necessary. Dresses of this deoriction are not made with a straight bodice, but with glove fitting basques, which are hollowed in upon tbe hips, or with overdresses consisting of cssaquins draped away from the front and forming flat side paniers.

A feature of the elegant toilets are the multitudinous flounces, or rather narrow ruffles, which cover the skirts in front snd below the drapery. Some are gathered, but tbe most delicate are laid in tbe finest of plaits' snd tbe supreme touch is to put small wavea of exquisite muslin or filmy crepe llsse over others of silk or satin until the effect of foam is produced dress tbat made a sensation at the Newport Casino lately was of silk net, fine masb, embroidered with straw over straw oolored satin. Straw embroidered fichus has been seen before, but never an entire dress, and this was most artistically excuted in wheat ears, oats and grasses with the fineat of split straw. Such embroidery can not be bought, and it was, indeed, the fsct thst the weaver bad accomplished the work herself. She has seen a small piece of such embroidery worn by a friend, and ber ambition was excited to possess a dress of it.

Shirring has become so common tbst it is no longer distinctive still it is effective. All the recent dressess, of whatever material, are made with shirred backs, short apron fronts, and all-round bodices. Tbe skirt hangs straight at the back, and tbe shirring consists of from five to seven rows, below the line of tbe belt.

Tbe latest style of overdress is the "smock frock," and It Is copied after the garment worn by the English oarter, or team driver. Such a man does not sit on or in his wsgon, bnt he drives his load, walking beside his horsee, cracking bis whip, and wearing a "stnook frock," winter and summer over his corduroys. This frock is neither more nor less thsn whst would be called a straight "pinafore" if worn by a ohild, with tbe fullnees gathered in, and shirred down front and back into rather narrow limits, leaving plain spaces at tbe sides. Tbe sleeves are shirred from tbe top down in tbe same way for several inches, but in a ooarse fashion, and the new overdresses strictly follow copy, except tbat the shirring—"gauging" it 1—is is called In England—Is more neatly done than In the carter's frocks. The carters also wear them loose, tbe young lsdies add a belt, gather tbe slightly full sleeves Into a broad band which descends half way upon tbe arm, and edge with lace. The prettiest are made of soft twilled Corsb silk, cream white or robins' egg blue, snd when the frock is ottt rather long and pladbd over a skirt trimmed with many tiny gathered ruffles upon a slender, graceful form a singular transformation is effected, and the carter's homely frock becomes a part of one of tbe sweetest and subtest things In art or nature.

UNCLE ESER?S WISDOM. Scribner's Monthly. The oonversstism of moat people is nothing more than their radicalism gone to seed.

No man is envious of what he can equal, or even imitate. Tbe man wbo is ever reedy to take his chances, will very probsbly take his last one in tbe almshouse.

Men have been known to correat tbelr vanity, subdue their pride, and even overcome tbeir superstitions, but once impregnated with it, it is impossible to get rid of bis vulgarity.

The man who lives for others must expect moat of his pay In self satisfaction.

Most successes spring up, Phoenix like, from the ashes of some failure. Tbe most cunning of egotists is tbe man wbo never speaks well of himself.

Good breeding is a letter of credit all over tbe world. A man of true genius Is generally as simple as a child, and as anoonsciooe of his power as an elephant.

If we would measure our hspplnessby the condition of those below us, instead of those above, we should find ourselves very well off.

The man wbo can distinguish between good advice and poor, doea not need either.

Every man makes up bis own reputation tbe world only puts on the stamp. Tbfere ii a great deal of modeaty in this world which will gaze at almoet anything—provided it san be seen through a crack.

SUenoe is a bard opinion to beat. Next to silence comes brevity—tbe wise man's strength and the fool's reluge.

A gentleman will never insult any one, and a loafer cannot. Bigotry knows of but one way to reach Heaven, while faith knows of a hundred.

A thoroughly good man to invariably a brave one. It is much more difficult for a man to make a circumstance than It Is for a circumstance to make a man.

It requires wisdom to be able, snd it requires honesty to be willing to call things by their right names. hi the only creature that laughs angels do not, animals mnnot, and devils will not.

Appletons' Journal for September gives the first half of a paper by tne Hon. P. H. Morgan, our Minister to Mexico, describing tbe organisation of "The International Tribunals of Egypt," and showing tbe peculiar working of judicial institutions in tbat country. Judge Morgan was one of the judges of this oourt, and he speaks, of course, authoritatively. The paper is an exceedingly Interesting one, revealing some of the customs in Egypt, and showing how thst land hss been plundered and wronged by tbe dzlllzed world. Under tbe title of "Two Americans Dlvlnee" there is a review of the reoently published biographies of Dr. Bnshnell and Dr. Muhlenberg and Dr. Coan has a review of Stoddard's collected Poems.

In tbe Editor's Table Is sn article on the site for tbe ooming World's Fair, to be held in New York in 1883, in which the selections of a situation on the Bay Is urged, and some novel suggestions advanced. The paper ought to be read by tbe Commissioners and others oonoerned oh the subjeot. The editor discusses other themes, mainly those suggested by tbe literature of tne day—auoh as the change in the taste for poetry, and the decline of Pope's popularity, apropos of Leslie Stephen's Lifeof Pope tbe cbsnge.that has ocoured In fiction, apropos of Edmond About's now romance and tbe powers of tbe U. 8. Supreme Court, suggested by Mr. Abbott's "Judge and Jury." The number Is valuable and eminently readable.

I A SA UGERTIES ROMANCE.

HOW A YOUNG SALESMAN WAS BOUGHT BY AN ENTERPRISING YOUNG LADY.

Klngstsn, New York, Letter A small social circle in Saugerties is now anxiously swsltlng developments In a romantic affair tbat has come to light within the past few days, in which a young dry goads olerk In Ssugertles and a Columbia oounty girl play tbe leading parts. Tbe namee of tbe partlee are suppressed, but tbe affair is of snob an unusual cbaraoter that it becomes a matter of public oomment. On Friday last the young clerk wss busily engaged in cleaning tbe interior of a front show window, when a fashionably dressed snd comely young woman entered tbe store snd asked the proprietor, In a vivacious manner, what be would take for £bat article In the window, nodding significantly towsrd tbe young man. The proprietor laughingly replied that be would sell blm for a dish of ice cresm. Tbe young woman said: "Very well, I will take bim," and departed, returning a little later in tbe day with a female irlend, when she invited tbe proprietor out to a cream saloon to bind bis bargain. Tbe proprietor entered heartily into tbe spirit of tbe joke, as be looked upon It, and went with her. On his return to tbe shop tbe young woman acoompanled blm and said, as she started to leave: "I am going bpme on Monday noon so have tbat article ready for me, as I sball certainly call for it." Tbe clerk thereupon demurred, and said the bargain wonld not be binding unless be bad a dish of cream AS well, at which tbe young lady ssld: "Very well you also shall have tbe cream," and left, returning in a few moments with a dish of cream In her bands. The young msn devoured tbe cream, and enjoyed a social cbat with his purchaser, snd, becoming quite interested in ber, made up bis mind to stick. On Mondsy afternoon the young woman, true to ber promise, drove up in a back to tbe shop on Main street, and out stalked her purchase, clad in a new linen duster and store clothes, snd with a band bag and sun umbrella In band. The hack drove off, amid tbe laughter and best wishes of tbe fellow clerks of tbe young man, and tbe congratulations of tbe proprietor to the young woman, who wsrranted the man to wear well and hold his color, and tbat he would never fade. The party took tbe 2:89 train up tbe river, and on Monday evening tbe merchant received a dispatch from the woman stating that she had arrived at home safely with ber purchase. The girl is worth about $25,000 in ber own name, and is about twenty years old. Tbe

SOME MEN'S WIVES. Journal of Commeroe.

Three men of wealth meeting, not long since, in New York, the conversation turned upon tbeir wives. Instead of floding fault with women in general, and tnelr wivee In particular, each one obeyed tbe wise man's advice, and "gave 'honor' unto his wife." "I tell you what It Is," said one of tbe men, "tbey may say what they please about tbe uselessness of modern women, but my wife has done her'share in securing our success in life. "Everybody knows tbat ber family was aristocratic, and exclusive, snd all tbat, and wben I married her she bad never done a day's work In ber life but wben W. & Co. failed, atid I bad to commence at tbe foot of tbe hill again, she discharged tbe servants, and chose out a neat little cottage, and did her own housekeeping until I was better off again." "And my wife," said a second, was anon' deatb. tbe greatest mistake of bis life but wben I came home tbe first year of our marriage, sick with tbe fever, sbe nursed me back to health, and I never knew her to murmur because I thought we couldn't afford any better style or more luxuries." "Well, gentlemen," chimed in a third, "I married a smart, healthy, pretty girl, but she wae a regular blue stocking. Sbe adored Tennyson, doted on Byron, reed Emerson, and named tbe first baby Ralph Waldo and tbe second Maud: but I tell yon what 'tis," and the speaker's eyes grew suspiciously moist, "when we laid little Maud In ber last bed at Auburn, my poor wife bad no remembrancee of neglect or stinted motberjy ears: and the little dresses that still lie in tbe locked drawer were all made by ber own hands.**
