SPUNK—FOB BO YS.
It is a homely name, but the thing itself more than makes amends for the name. Spirit, and courage are to common place names, and even Orit does not do the thing justice, and so we prefor the name familiar to us as boys and stick to •punk. The !oy who, through summer and wintor, went his rounds with the papers, uover ilinching in summer rain or winter snow, never wilted by heat nor frozen up by cold, had spunk. The boys who began with great zest and loud professions, but soon gave up didn't hsve spunk. Thero was a 1OV in this city who now occupies a prominent position in professional life, who used to attend the Street lampH, and deliver papers while attending whool ho afterwards taught school oight miles out ip the country, boardod at homo, and Uhlked both ways gvory day. I To had spuftk, and makes a spunky man. jA hulf dozen iKiys^ei-o going down stroot and ono of thomtbok oflf several gato* just for mischief. It was charged upon ©no of the boys who did not do it and got liirn into very sqrlous troublo. He bore the blame, refusing to shield t«j. himself by turning in formor and showed his spunk. The coward who did the mischief allowed liis comrade to suffer, and, won-o yot, Instead %f coming for-
ward and owning up aud facing tho congequonccs, llod aboutlt. He was not a boy of spunk and will probably make a moan, sneaking, cowardly man. ylj *.
Whon an enginoor, liko Rankin—and liko many others also'of that noble brotherhood of locomotive engineers,— laces dcatli in theottbrt tp savotho lives of thoso committed todrts charge, he has genuino spunk, whUo tho man who savoalii* own life at the peril of hundreds of others, is without this virtuo. But whilo it requires spunk to face physical pain aud death* in the discharge of duty, without flinching, It requires more spunk, and a aternor kind, to face moral danger. Hundrods could bo laughed into a lie, or sneered out of duty, who would risk life to save oven a little child. Spunk to stand by honor, and truth, and to obey one's conviction of duty, and to act, alone if necessary, the manly part, is tho kind that Is most needed. Boys of sp^ink 6re In demand in all directions, and will make a placo for themselves as fn'eri/Out upon tho -bringing, fawuiug, tricky, spunk loss boys.- #«f .'f

THE EASTERN QUESTTONiW Perhaps a clear statement of tho l'iasrt-
orn Question at the time may be of value to some. At. the dose of tho war between RuwlA' Turkey two years ago, a council of European powers, hold at Berlin, decided that Russia and Austria should do certntn things, nnd that Turkey should do theso four things, give to tho Montenegrins a small slice JjpQ Albari la, ud to a^nio^Sditlonid iorntoty, and gran\pif government to Macedonian portion ot Turkoy, and soinothin.se like sett government to
Tarkey in Asia. Russia and Austria very promptly fulfilled their part of the •contract, but though two years have passed Turkey has n$t performed a single one or her part* of tho* agreement. Tho Eurojwan powers, tinder the lead of Gladstone, who has just come into office in Knglnnd, united In demanding of Turkey that she do as she had agreed. But this demand not having been compiled with, those powi£»h«ve united in sending a ileet to the coast of Turkoy to enforce the fulfillment of one of the stipulation*, the giving to tho monten®* grins the slice from Albania. This, in"1 nutshell, Is the status of the Eastern Question at this moment. The real question at issue, aofhrns the Sultan of Turkey in concerned, Is whether he can defy all the European powers and by this show of strength unite under his banner all the Mohamcdana, not alone of Turkoy, but also of Arabia and Indh. This is what lie is really contending for, according to tho most trustworthy authority. If tho European powers fail in compelling Turkey to fulfill her engagements, there will be a combination of Mohamedans, seriously threaten* Ing tho very existence of Christian*, not only in Turkey and Arabia, but »bo In
India, where the English have so much at stake. If the European powers do aucceed In compelling the Sultan to
fulfill the treaty then Ux» Mohamedan power will be traualerred from Turkey,
and will 1» divided. |tji8 representation we have directly from parties perfectly familiar with Turkish atfitirs. im--

MB. HATTOX, the London correspondent of the New York Times, who has been traveling for some time in this country, has written a letter making some comparisons between life in America and England. He has lived for many years in London, with which city he is" quite familiar. His time in this country has been spent principally in New York and Chicago, and it is of these cities he speaks. Mr. Hatton appears to be an impartial observer, and is evidently desirous of telling the facte, without giving them any coloring, as far as it is possible for a resident of one country to apprehend the affairs of another. In bis opinion America is the most desirable place for young men and England for old or aged men, because the former look forward and the latter backward. There is mora future here and more past there. He finds that in this country there is a tendency to give to intellect the precedence, which in Europe is for the moat only accorded to rank. Our courts are superior to the English in point of expedition, while the latter reach a greater certainty in their final conclusions. Here murderers often escape hanging there they seldom If ever do. But there a suitor dies broken hearted occasionally, after twenty years or so of litigation which brings him no conclusion and is almost equally expensive whether he gains or loses. On the whole we are disposed to think most people would prefer the American article of justice. In the matter of street paving and cleaning England is so far ahead of America that Mr. Hatton declares there is,not a street in Chicago or Now York equal in these respects to the poorest ones in London. The writer draws comparisons between the two countries in many other particulars, on the wholo not to the disadvantage of our own countrv.

GEXEBAIJ HANCOCK'S lottor, explicitly declaring that he would veto any bill designed to aid in paying the rebel claims, was astunnorto the Republicans. He spiked ono of their very finest campaign guns, and he did it thoroughly too. It is unfortunate and humiliating for any party to be placed in position to make such a letter necessary. But we take it th^t every true patriot, whether Republican or Democrat, Is most heartily glad that the letter has lieon called forth. The interests of the country are above the interests of any party, or tho result of any campaign, and It is most decidedly for tho interests of the country that the standard bearer of tho Democratic party should declare that, under no circumstances, and in no form, would he sanction tho payment of any claims for damage or otherwise of thoso who were disloyal. There is no doubt that a loug list of such claims is ponding boforc Congress. There is no doubt that a largo number of bills designed to old disloyal persons to get their hands into the U. 8. Treasury are already before Congress. And tho country breathes easier now that the only candidate whoso election could possibly be regarded as favorable to these claims and bills has declared that, If elected, he certainly would veto them if passed. It may havo boon bad policy for the party for the Republican preos and speakers to make so much out of this as to draw that admirable letter from the General, but thoy have rendered a valuable service to tho country in general, without regard to partyor «eetion«f «AS patriots woaredellgbtedwitjji the l#ter. |j
WARSAW, indiaiia, wns Hconp of a terrible tragedy on Wednesday of this woek, it being ono, of those horrible double murders of which tho newspal»rs have contalnod so many examples during tho past few months* A man named Smith, who was a seller of sewing machines, and who has a wife and two young childreu, became, enamored of a Miss Chaplin, tho- daughter of a wealthy farmer living a few miles from the town, and it to supposed that the two maintained lllidt rfclattons. Some days ago the girl probated at ond of the hanks a couple of forged checks signed with her fathers name. The forgery was detected anil she was taken Into custody, whereupon she declared that Smith was at tho bottom of it and had instigated her to the crime. The girl was not put into tho body of the jail but was permitted the freedom of the sherIlTs premises and for this reason her incensed paramour was enabled to reach her. Providing himself with a revolver he sought his opportunity, and coming upon her alone, shot her through the heart and then himself through the head. Both were dead before anyone could reach tha acone and of course nothing was learned from either. Tho father of Mi» Chaplin is said to be a wealthy but miserly man, and bis parsimonious treatment of his daughter, in common with tho rest of his children, is believed to have been a prominent factor in her downfall—an awful commentary on the disposition to hold money of more Importance than all things else!

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.
THJE eminent art critic, James Jackson Jarvea, deplores the lack of taste for sculpture among Americans. He attributes it to the neglect of early, systematic, professional training in sculpture. There is no doubt very much less oppreciation among our people of work in marble than on canvas. Everybody is fond of pictures and possesses something in the line, if nothing better than the cheapest of cheap chromos. But the productions of the sculptor are rarely seen in our houses. The chief reason for this, we are disposed to think, is a lack of attention to the matter. Seeing few specimens of this kind of art we do not think much about it, nor talk about it, nor attain any critical knowledge of it. Should a change in public taste occur, and the fashion turn from painting to sculpture, we might to behold the young women and leisurely matrons of the land turn to the puddling and moulding of clay into caricatures of the "human form divine," with as much enthusiasm and assiduity as they now exhibit for pastel work and the ornamentation of crockery.
WHEN the news came that Maine had been carried by the Democrats there was a sudden decline in government bonds and the stock market generally became unsettled. The day after the great Democratic meeting in New York there was a further decline, and altogether government securities have fallen two and a half per cent, since the Maine election, representing a loss of some 924,000,000. The decline would likely bo much greate^phould either of the States of Ohio and Indiana be lost by the Republicans in October. Democrats explain this attitude of the stock market by saying that any change is always mistrusted, even though it be for the better, until tho new order has had time to disclose itself. This may or may not be the true explanation, but whether it is or not, the fact remains that increased prospects of Democratic success affect the stock market unfavorablv.
IT looks now as if the system of lighting by electricity is destined soon to come into general use, whether through Edison or somebody else. What is known as the Brush light is in quite extensive use already in most of the large cities and large contracts for new lights havo been made. In England also this light is being introduced and contracts have been made for lighting some of the principle public buildings, bridges, etc., and a new company has just been organized in New York, by very wealthy men, with a preliminary paid up capital of 9100,000, for tho purpose of extending the use of the Brush light in that city and vicinity. It is evident, therefore, that tho new method of illumination contains tho elements of success and only needs to be further developed, if indeed It needs even that. H'ia
AN unmistakable sign of t}jo general prosperity of the country and of its business Interests is tho fact that the summer of 1880 goes on record as onfe In which the public have traveled more than any previous season. Reports from the pleasure resorts all over the country indicate that they have done exceptionally well. From the great hotels of Saratoga and Newport to the most modest boarding houses, in places "unknown to fame," of which have opened their doors to guests hate been filled to.overflowing.
THK next election will be in Colorado, next Tuesday, the 5th, for a representative in Congress. On the following day, October 6th, Georgia will hold its election for Governor and other State officers. Ift&tt after these come the elections in Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia, October 12th,—for Governor and other State officers, a legislature and members of Congress in Indiana for minor State officers, a legislature and members of Congress In Ohio, and for State officers and a legislature in West Virginia. .Yk
THE Republican campaign in 6hio during the past week has been proseeuted with unparalleled vigor. Among tho speakeps were Grant, Conkling, Blaine, Schurz, Secretary Sherman, Emoiy A. Storrs, and a host of others of national reputation. The Republican view of tho situation is that if they lose Indiana but save Ohio, the Octo!)er elections will be a drawn battle, while if they should lose both States, It would be disastrous defeat and if they should carry both, it would be a conclusive victory.

THK unparalleled development of the mining business In Colorado within the last few years has given Denver a wonderful Impetus* During the present season it is said that over 30,000,000 of brick have been used in public and private buildings. There are now in course of erection in the city hundreds of buildings, including a very large school house, the Tabor Opera House and the large Union Depot. Real estate shows no signs of weakening and the demand for houses continues unabated.
THE New York San gives the figures to show that as Indiana has gone in October of every presidential contest during the past twenty-five yean, so it has gone in November, and so the coon* try has gone, with'the single exception of 1872, when Mr. Hendricks was elected Governor «nd the Greeley electoral ticket wen defeated. The feet stated by the Sun adds new interest to the campaign in Indiana, which It appears Is about ae ameh a national asa State campaign^
DR. TAXITKB'S lecture scheme has proved a fidlure, and he Is now popularly as dead as if he had starred to death.
So a man has talent of some kind it doesn't matter much about the kind. The man who can run, swim, walk, fight, eat or starve better than the rest of the world, has demonstrated his right to fame and fortune and now comes Mr. Daniel Donohue, of Brooklyn, and challenges the world to whistle with him for any wager that may be named. It is a great age for the utilisation of every kind of talent.
THK Cleveland Voice tells of a gentleman who remarked how young and pretty the ladies all look this year. The man was right and yet he was wrong. The ladies are no prettier than ever, but the present style of ladies' dresses is far more becoming than in former years, which gives every lady robed according to the fashion of the day a much younger and more becoming look than the old overdressing costumes.
IT is announced that a lady prominent in New York elty social circles will in November next give a luncheon party to the six "professional beauties" who are to reign in fashionable circles of New York after the London style. The names of the "beauties" are to be kept secret until the eleventh hour, and then sprung upon the multitude.
Two voters were made by two pardons by Governor Williams this week. The men had served their imprisonment for burglary and larcency, and the pardons were to remove their disfranchisement —one for five, and the other for ten years. Such an act on the eve of an election is not creditable to any party.
AN elephant is a good natured looking beast, and for the most part he is good natured. But he will get mad sometimes, and when he does It is not advisable to be next neighbor to him. It took "Chief," belonging to John Robinson's circus, a very short time to put an end to his keeper, a few days ago.
A

of the leading business
men of Cleveland, without respect to party affiliations, have formed a business men's club for the purpose of discussing the questions of the campaign as they affect the interests of business and taking such action as they may deem proper. Not a bad idea.
OF the four carrier pigeons let loose at Indianapolis to return to their home in Jersey City, only one has so far successfully found its way back. The name of this one is "Garfield," and it was exactly three weeks in making the journey. "Hancock," "English," and "Arthur," have not been heard from.
JUDQB TOURGBB'S new book, entitled "Bricks Without Straw," is in the hands of the publishers and will soon be issued. It deals with the condition of affairs in the South, and, judging from extracts published from the advance sheets, is as racy and graphic as "A Fool's Errand."
THB corner stone of the new State House was laid on Tuesday, with appropriate ceremonies. Ex-Governor Hendricks delivering the oration, which was interesting and worthy of the occasion. The new capital will be a fine structure and creditable to the growing wealth of the State. _________
GEN. GRANT is improving as an oraator. His speech at Warren, Ohio, last Tuesday was not a bad one by any means. Longer than usual it contained a torse and liicid statement of the essential points of difference between the two parties as they appear to him, i/ y: }v:
THB story that New York merchants have raised a fund of $950,000 to aid in carrying Indian^ for the Republicans, should be taken with several grains of salt It aounds very much like one of those stories whlch'are metaphorically said to be made out of whole cloth.

A MAN named Rollingstone was married to a lady named Moss, the other day. In this instance a rolling stone did gather moss despite the old adage. But It was in Ohio and that probably accounts for it.
EDITORS should not use their newspapers to pay off personal scores and "get even." It Is a mean advantage to take of a man who hasn't a newspaper through which to talk back.
THB free trade sentiments of the Democrats seem to be considerable of a stumbling block to them just now. Our laboring men are sensitive on the subject.
PERHAPS "the stars" do not fight against Hancock, rt a/, as they did against Sisera, but the carrier pigeonsdo. Only "Garfield" found his way home.
CHICAGO also gives notice that she has a business boom. This thing is becoming monotonous. Let us hear from the plaoee that don't have them.

That the rolling mill gathers no moss. That stout ladies ought not to wear the Jersey bodice.
That the toilet of a young lady is like the loading of a gun, because the powder goes before the ball.
That the woman who will own to her ago, or tho number of her shoo, is too honest to get along in this world.
That if you have a pretty daughter you will have a brain full of anxiety and a house full of scented note paper.
That old people know nothing whatever about love or love affairs, and the more they meddle in such things, t|io worse.
That popguns are not at present operated with ginger pop. Ginger is no longer manufactured in corn poppers, nor will corn poppers euro bunions.
That white cow hair is valuable to mix with wool for carpet yarns, selling ns high as from 8 to 12 cents per pound. We expect that all the white cows will now wear their hair banged.
That if a train does not Start in a minute after a man gets into the depot he Is likely to swear. If it starts a minute liefore he roaches there he is likely to swear a little harder if anything.
