AT the annual reunion of the Smith family within the State of New Jersey, iheld recently, there were three thou •and people answering to that patronymic present, all supposed to be descendants of one John Sohmidt, who sailed the sea across, one hundred and thirtyfive years ago. How many more of them there are outside of New Jersey, has uot been computed.

Cotfroit is still to be counted among the products of the country, as well as wheat, corn and pork. The crop of the present year Is estimated at 6.000,000, the largest ever raised in this country. At 950 a bale, the prloe which will probably be realised, the aggregate prooeeds of the crop will be $300,000,000. The South ought to show symptoms of recuperation with a few crops like that.

As interesting experiment is being made with carrier pigeons. Four cf the birds were sent from Jersey City to Indianapolis, where they were liberated, last Sonday morning. Hid question is whether they will retnrn to Jersey City. The distance is 635 miles, the longest course ever attempted in this country. If t£e birds make this successfully it is proposed to make the attempt from St. Louis to Jersey City, next year, a distance of 800 miles.

Gov. COBOTBvl,of New York, has expressed himself as being very confident of Garfield's election. He says the general belief among both Republicans and Democrats is that New York will decide the result and in his opinion New York will choose Republican electors without question. He bases this prediction on the ground that the non-partisan vote, which counts at least 30,008 and was cast for Mr. Tilden in 1870, because it wanted a change, will, be oast this year for Garfield because it does not want a change. He says farther that if the Republicans carry Indiana it will give ibem every free

State. Opinions

differ on this subject and our readers can take their choioe. AN exchange sees danger ahead to Europe from China. With a population of 400,000,000, and constantly increasing, and a territory wholly inadequate to contain them, the writer forseeii that China will soon be reaching out for some of the thinly populated regions of Central Asia. Then she will be met by Russia or England, or both combined, and a terrible struggle will ensue. Life is held cheap in the Celestial empire—as well it might be—and with a population double that of Germany, Russia, France, .England and the United States combined, to draw from, such an army could be organized as the one which Napoleon led against Moscow would be nothing in comparison with,—an army that could overrun all Europe as the locusts did Pharaoh's dominions. An army of from 20,000,000 to 40,000,000 men, even though only Chinamen, might be a very uncomfortable thing to have around. And the more the merrier for China for if a hundred millions or so went to the wars and never came back again there would be so much 'the more room for the rest of them. The Bull and the Bear had better take care how they fool with the meek but multitudinous Celestials.

IT is a comfortable thing to turn from the cares and troubles of life now and then aud look back half a century or so at what our forefathers and foremotbers had to bear. For instance, such a thing as a common friction match was then unknown, and if the chunks covered up in the ashes of the fireplace happened to go out during the night, the only way to get afire in the morning was to strike it from a flint, or go to a neighbor's house and get some fresh coais. All the oooklng was done over the open fireplace in pots and long handled skillets. The art of canning fruits and vegetables was unknown, and this large factor of culinary comfort was entirely absent trom the winter meal. The only way in which anything could be kept was by "preserving" or "piokling" it. For light thoy were obliged to depend on homemade tallow candles, dipped with painful slowness from pots of melted tallow. Then it took several months to come from Liverpool to New York and two or three weeks to go from Indiana to the East in a lumbering stage aoaoh. Now we travel at a terrific rate of speed in palace oars, send measagea cheap by telegraph and talk by telephone to people a hundred miles away. And yet we are probably not any happier or healthier than our fathers were, if we equal them in these respects.

A PRESIDENTIAL campaign is a larger affair than most people know except those behind the soenes. Each State, of course, has its campaign establishments, of larger or smaller dimensions, while the national headquarters of the respective parties at Washington are much more extensive. During the present campaign each party has a building of three stories which la entirely occupied. The first floors are used by the respect tive chairtnon of the Congressional committees and their assistants. Here the large mass of correspondence is attended to and the more confidential matters of party strategy planned and developed. The upper atorles are occupied a large force of clerks engaged in the business of addressing and forwarding speeches, pamphlets, circulars, song books, et cetera for the information, education and entertainment of the citisen masses of the republic. The balls and passage ways of the buildings are piled with boxes, rolls and packages and the business of distribution is conducted in a well eystematlxed manner. Of course all thia requires money: hence the assessments to which the 100,000 holders and seeker* of ofioe are subjected. The feeling at both the national centra of Information in always altitndinou*. Reports from everywhere are encouraging and the doubtful Statee are certain to range tbemealves on the side of both eoateetaata In tbe ultimate straggle. Meantime the average eitbeo goes es quietly on aboot hla bosinees as if there was so imminent danger of the country going to the doge.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

HOW A BO YAL BABY IS BORN. That royal baby about which there has been so much talk, bas'ut vet been born, and the nobles and nmsee are sitting around tbe palace impatient at nature's delay. A royal decree enacts that tbe usual and ancient ceremonial

shall be observed in tbe palace as soon

as the royal physicians will declare that her Majesty's delivery is close at hand. The Lord Chamberlain, Duke ofSixto, has already issued invitations to tbe diplomatic corps, whose chiefs mnst be present in the royal antechambers with the* Ministers of the Crown, the chief authorities of Madrid, the principal prelates of the church, the President, Secretaries, and delegates of the two houses or Cbrtes, the delegates of the military and noble orders of knighthood, the deputiea of the order of grandees and of the nobility, in all about two hundred and fifty high functionaries and personages, who most bold themselves in readiness at any hour of day and night to obey the invitation of the royal messengers. If it is a boy there will be a salute of twenty-one guns, and if it happens to be "only a girl," fifteen guns are considered sufficient. If the birth takes place In daylight, a red flag will be hoisted on the paleoe tower for ajboy, or a white Sag for a girl and colored lights will be used In ease the Important event oocurs at night. Tbe birth must take place in the presence of prelates, ministers, and other witnesses. Directly after the royal babe will be placed on a gold basin,, covered with a rich lace mantle, and tbe King will carry tbe basin out to the distinguished assemblage in the antechamber, and, uncovering the infant, his Majesty wills all present to examine and attest the sex of the newborn ere the deed of birth is drawn up by the Minister of Grace and Justice as royal Prothonotary General. This ceremony is ancient, and considered necessary, lest some spurious intent be afterward introduced.

Tbe gossips say a fuss is impending between the little stranger's two grandmothers—she of Spain and she of Austria. They are already exhibiting great jealously, and, not being able to settle the dispute as to which is to present the cradle, each has provided one.

And then to name the baby. It's a dreadful thing not to have an heir to the throne, but it seems to be almost as dreadful to have one. If it is a girl baby her name will be Isabella if a boy baby —there's the rub. The yonng King wants him oalled Ferdinand, but that name suggests disagreeable recollections to one of the political parties of Spain, and for state reasons ho may decide upon something else.

his sins when about to be launche^Httof^tandard of highest excellence in its eternity at tbe end of the rope, very truthfully remarks: •Murderers wbo have defied the laws of God and man, and outraged every better human instinct, universally announce to tbe awe struck crowd gathered about tbe gallows tbat, though they are supposed to be going down to an unhallowed grave, they are in reality about tosoar upward on outstretched wings to constitute the latest addition to the angels and to speedily join the heavenly choir. Average men of honest and upright lives expect to find it exceedingly difficult, as a rule, to find tbeir ways to this state of restful bliss, but to tbe mind of th6 criminal, the exchange of a halter for a crown is evidently to be counted on as a certainty, and of such as they, acoording to their ideas, is the kingdom of heaven. What method of religious instruction is followed that leads tbe minds of the criminal to such lengths it Is well to inquire. Any teachings in the cell of the condemned tbat will soften tbe hardened heart to repentance and moisten the dull eye with tears of sorrow are to be commended, tbat the death of tbe man may be edifying but tbe practice of working him up to such a state of religious excitement as to cause him to annonnce the brilliant programme-arranged for his reception beyond the grave is not alone a mistaken one, but is a mockery of religion."

LOOKING FOR THE MEN. Jenny Janets Saratoga Letter. One of the occnpations of women in Saratoga Is looking for the men. Tbe women, it is understood, carry the keys of the rooms, so that men are relieved from responsibility on tbat account, and their usual custom when leaving their own territory ia to remark in an airy way and off banded manner: "Ishall be on tbe piazza, or somewhere round, if yon want me." Thia is not very definite, but there are not many places to go to within the precincts, so tbe wire re•All right," and tbe husband jnds,

DOHlisappears. An~bour or so afterwards she does want blm. It is dinner time or tea time, or ahe wants to get some water from the spring, or she would like to go to ride, or walk, or call, or she wishes to go out somewhere berself, and desires to !arorm her hnsbaud oi the feet. She prepares without any misgivings she deseeds cheerfully to the ground floor she walks through tbe French windows of tbe small parlor to the piszza—he is not there: she prooeeds gingerly to inspect the front balcony, where men sit •nd amoke and talk politics—not there she pasuee hastily acroae the office (for somehow ite publicity makes it seem improper to be there unattended) to the back piazza, which she investigates slowly and carefully. Then abe atepa into the parlor, without taking the trouble, however, to glance at the richly cushioned chairs and sofas, for she knows be is not there, and makea her way again through the windows of one of tbe small parlors out upon the broad piazza and tbte formula perhaps abe keepe op tor a couple of hours, nntil eome one cornea roahbic up behind her, catchee her by theann,aod remarks, "Where haveyou been? I have been looking everywhere tor yon." "Have you, dear? Why, so have I for yon," replies tbe unauspect"eeat be ing wife. At least he haa no idea that she mspeete that it waa ia tbe billiard taiooo only that be had been looking for anybody for at least two boors prsv ious.

A mother wbo Is mild ami gentle ia her home-life ia very apt to have docile and lespeetfol children. On the contrary, the children of an impatient, Irritable mother, are aimoet in variably wayward and heedlees of authority.

THE PASSING SHOW.

SHOWS AND SHOW PEOPLE*

ing

Tbe open House *«°°jThe

will be opened on Monday evening by Nick Roberts, who comae with tbe pleas-

Humpty Dompty, which has beon

rejuvenated and Improved. Besides tbe pantocaine in which three clowns appear, there is an olio preformance participated in by such artists as Cool Burgess, one of the best. Ethiopain comedians on the stage, the Etzeltine sisters, Mendoza brothers, Charles Omivey, Alfred Miaco, Frank King, Sophia Revel, Emily Luer and tbe three clowns, Grimaldi, Pedro and Dromtov Tbe Qnincy, Ills., Whig, in along criticism, says: "Nick Roberts' Humpty Dumpt? Troupe attracted a large audience to t&eOpera House last night. Parquette dress circle and gallery were crowded. The performance was enthusiastically reoeived and was greeted throughout the three acta with shoots of laughter, and tbe specialties meeting with round after round of applause. Col. Roberts has introduced thia season anew feature —the appearance of threeolowne—a feature found in no other performance. Tbe three clowns, Grimaldi, Dromio and Pedro, keep things qnite lively during tbe performance, the introduction being a good improvement on tbe old style of one clown. Mr. Rbberts' company is a good one, and his speoialty performance fine. The tforee ©towns are as funny as an audience could wish. Miss Grimaldi is a pleasing Columbine, Mr. Ravel is recognized as- tho finest Harlequine on the stage and deserves that honor. All the others are good. A taking feature is the baby elephant in the open, one of the most ludicrous acts ever put on tbe stage. Col. Roberts' band is the best tbat has- ever visited tbe city with a performance, Tbe orchestra last night was applauded almost as mucb as the performance."

On Friday of next week Barnnm's "Greatest Show on Earth" will give two exhibitions in this city. It comes heralded by the most flattering commendations of the press and public, and tbe reputation of Barnutn as a through amusement caterer insures an excellent sbow. The New Haven Palladium says:

The tent preformance was fully equal to that which has been promised. The ring performance was conducted under tbe charge of R. M. Dockrill, wbo succeeds the late James Cooke, and included exhibitions by well known athletes and equestrians. There is no better rider living than Sebastiau, and Mme. Dockrill is unrivalled as an equestrienne The former, in his fearless and graceful riding, gave an impression tbat there was no effort on his part, but when tbe feats were afterwards thought of, it- appeared to be almost impossible that they could have been accomplished* Tbe riding by Madame Dockrill of six bareback horses was something new,, aud was exciting as a novel. Zazel in her aerial dive from the top of tbe tent to a netting near the ground, and in the cannon specialty, created great excitement. All that she bad been advertised to do she carried out. Great nerve and ooolness characterized the portion of the entertainment she furnished. There are eighteen different features on the proto the gttest excellence in its repectiveline. The living curiosities,, the giant, the dwarf, the tattooed Greek and the native Zulus appeared in the ring after the grand entree. Following them

ea(jh of which wa9 up to

came tbe Trakene stallions, the fiddling elowns, Herr and Madame Neyggaard in tbe double menage act, Madame Nelson and her trained doves, tbe Fire Horse in his leaps through tbe flaming rings, the performing oxen, tbe leaping horse and the leaping stag, and various other features. The menagerie and museum attracted tbe usual attention, and gave general satisfaction,

On the day of the exhibition* ladles and those who desire to avoid the crowd at the ticket wagon, can secure tickets and reserved seats at the 'Central Book Store, at the usual slight advance.

Gns Williams appears as "Our German Senator" at the Opera House next Saturday evening.

Joe Emmet is coming sooner than expected. He will be here—barring "accidents1'—on the evening of the 25th.

If costly dresses can do it, Sarah Bernhardt's reputation Is already made for her American tour.

It has been decided by a New York judge tbat a man's voioe is merchantable property, and that when he contracts to sing for one person he is bound not to warble for another.

Miss Julia Wilson, the "Tot" in the "Josh Wbitcomb" troupe, has recently bad 112,000 left to her by tbe death of her grandfather. Tbe money is not to be paid until she becomes of age.

Wben Zazel was recently shot out of Barnum's cannon at Peoria, Ills., a mild mannered aentimental youth sighed, "Ah, there's tbe kind of bullet I shouldn't mind receiving in my cheat/'

PauUne Markham's famous "velvet" voice has been elaborately brocaded by old father Ti me, and its irregular aurface, combined with a lees dressy physique, is expected to prove one of the attractions of Leavitt's new company.

Sotbern has recently successfully undergone two painful operations at tbe banda of aurgeona in London and at tbe latest acooonta was improving In health. Lately be wrote to aMend in New York: "I can scarcely crawl from room to room. Tbe doctor says be believes be can cure me. I do not: but that doesnt eeem to signify. I know that I have •s many lives aa a cat, bot possibly thia may be my ninth.*
