Democrats and two Independents, and so has the Indiana Senate, while the presiding officer of each is a Republican.

E. W. HAUWBD baa resumed his old place as managing editor of the lndiantvpolis Journal, once more. "Iige,"*? he is familiarly known, has been on and off the Journal more times ftfym juse easily remembered, but each time thf* jQturnal, sooner or later, finds that ^»is services are indispensable, and recalls him to the helm. The Jourtial will show that It has learned wisdom from experience if it now keeps Mr. Halford where he is.
How plain Mr. Hayes must sit bask in the shade now and laugh at tho"sea of troubles" on which the new administration W embarked. The difficult task of distributing the loaves apd fishes so as to give satisfaction to all parties! He was there once, you know. Civil service reform, the machine, the horde of hungry expectantsjr-what a lively time they all make for the man who undertakes to grapple with them We doubt if anybody could manage themall ^satisfactorily—except Conkliug. And Conkling will never have the chance.
INDIANAPOLIS has had.a lonjk hard pull"* since the panjc of 1873 ana for a timo t^e dty seemed to be utterly lifeless. But« brighter day appears to be dawning now, for according to the Journal the present season ojiens with more activity in building than has bein' seen for along time. C^uitc a number of large buaine&Htrioclqi are already 'under beadway and ground will soon be broken for a steel rail mill, car works and several factories. Throughout the city many houses will be built' aild the outlook ia, on tuo rnnc, 4uiieenbuuraj|iogi
THB Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette denies the recent report of an Ohio editoiythat President Hayes had saved only 960,000 out of his salary, and that all but 96,000 of this bad gone to pay off his debts. On the contrary, he says Mr. Hayes saved pot less than half his entire salary, and perhaps a good deal more, and that he owed but 910,000 when he went into the White House. It is Evident, therefore, that Mr. Hayes will not stand in any urgent need of help froim the ex-Presidential fund, at least for some years to qqme.
Tir* census of 1880 fixes the "centre of population" near Cincinnati, just south of the Ohio riycr. This centre has traveled westward aafollows: In 1800 it was jOSt wast of Baltimore in 1810 it was near Harper's F%rry. At each successive efenatis it advanced westward 'at the rate of five or six mile* a year, until, in 1870, it M^aa about B0 miles northeast of Cincinnati.

IT I4 announced that Mr. Hawells' new stoiy»!^'A Fearful Responsibility," will appear in Scribner's. This is anew departure for Mr. Howells, his previous works having been uniformly published in the Atlantic. The change i» a good one, however, as it will introduce the most charming of American writers,to a large elaaaof magazine readers who have not hitherto been familiar with his productions. We don't think Mr. Howells waa as happy aa usual in his selection of a name for hip new stony but it is of small consequence what tbe name to, for the matter issore to Interesting and the ,otvle«xqai«ite. p:vy:

Ha deckwd that for vJeantesa, logical forw, tanseness and legal argument, be had seldom heard her addits-sequalled. There is no better way to advance "woman's rights" than for vroinen to do well that which they claim the right to do. FWr play will see lo it that Vbey havea free course in the direction of their ability. Mrs. Livermore, Mias Willard and Mrs. Foster have made more converts to the worn* an's cauae by doing remarkably well what they have claimed the right to do, than all the loud-mouthed advocates of "rights of women" in the whmewuntry.

THEBB has been a good deal of fuss, of late, over diseased pork several foreign countries forbidding the importation of American pork into their dominions* It seems, however, that there are more deadly thiogs than diseased pork1,' It is ascertained that tin-eanned goods, many of them,'-are exceedihgly deleterious, and the French government has forbiddeh the sale of all goodsih soMeredcftns. An English cheihist, ^'ho haS made an extensive examination of canned goods of various .kinds, states that tin was found, in greater or leas quantity in every article, while in this country several deaths have recently occurred from poisoning from canned goods. !And to these is to be added along list of adulterated sugars, spices, powders, teas, molasses and hundreds of,,other food articles. In the ftico ofc these facts, trichinal poisoning hides itl), diminutive head, lis a comparativelyltouoceut and affitia.— It, ^ftboUL..time that people were beginVlng to wake up on the Subject of poisoned food, and demand tbat they be not put to a slow and lingering death, under cover of tempting viands supposed to Contain wholesome, nourishment.
An English gentleman, who is visiting this country, is creatingconsiderable interest in some of Eaatern cities, by explaining the method of temperance work adopted by the Church of England Temperance Society, and commending its method to the temperance people in this country. Two very sensible peculiarities mark this society. The first is, that it aims to combine all who are willing to co-opperate to prevent drunkenness, that is, all really temperance people. It doee not make total abstinence a condition of membership or cooperation. Mr. Graham, the gentleman referred to, who is its general agent, i* a total abstinence himself. The society has,a large membership of total abstainers, three thousand clergymen of the Church of England, among whom is Cannon Fnrrar, being such. These register, oir pledge thetjisklves as total abstainers. But recognizing the fact, that many earnest christain people who are thoroughly temperate, never, uaing intoxicants to excess, are as heartily opposed to intemperance as are the totaTabdnera, pit*vision Is made for this class and thejr ar^ received iis members. One of the, results of this is that many of those who joift what, in this country, would be called the "Hardly-Ever" portion of the society, are naturally led, 16 time, to adopt the principle ot total abstinence.' Fighting against drunkennete. and learnfdg mcfre and more of 1t» preyaleacs.»nd iearful results, they arm themselves for \the work by giving nap their wine or beer and their social giasa^ But even though they do not do this, no pressure is brought to bear upon them, their right of private judgment la respected, and all work together harmoniously and efficiently. Is there not good sense in this?. It strikes us aa much better policy than for temperance people to spend their breath in denouncing each other, audattempting to prove on Ibe em band that total ababdbttrs are bigoted fanatics, and on tbe other hand tbat moderate drinkers are worse than drunkards.
The second sensible feature of the society is that it aims at what it can get. It gratefully accepts half a loaf mtber than no bread at alt In this country temperance people are very apt, not only to demand tbe adoption of their peculiar and pet theories, but If tbey fail to aecore these, to retaliate by fierce opposition to a coarse of procedure or a law which would do much good. The spectacle has been presented of prohibitionists doing all fn tbeir power to make a strict license law a failure. "In Maine, at tbe last election* the State government came very near being put into the
hands 6f the anti-temperance patty by* the votes ol a body of teaaparanc* m«n who conM not have their own way.They did riect the present Governor^and bad bia party b(ien .p^ itito pdwer ln the Legiriature, it osrtaialy woakUurce acted directly ^pdhst' tbe ofiiaiofr of those veiy men, and)it^y lt^" iut not being able jto jet a irhole lo^, en tirely uncut and (Aibrokea, llke ^iitefid children, ilty fbWNr^waj'^loaf tbat' had a litile corner orolteo action hasbasn somstisass takaiy inH# State. lt Itf somtaon' ia Ais ooWitry 'Tie

Aprominent, preacher o^VtH^i dfty seems to have adethea^ qoveiyi that in order to draw the peopleig bis nteetinghousehe must present aome attraction much more powerful than the Oospel, and accordingly he preached last Sunday on George Eliot. His success proved that he waa right. HO drew a house that was so completelv fall tbat standing room only could be found, after the preformance had begun. Hundreds of people who did not care a straw about the gospel, or who bad not tbe, slightest intention af worshiping God, went to hear the sermon on George Eliot, and felt that if church-going could always be made as it was on that occaalon, they would gladly become pew owners at once. ..

An eminent physician of New) York, upon tbe occasion of l}js daughter's marriage, prohibitedi her from gOing on the usual bridal tour. Hq did tali from considerations of~ health and delicacy, which are not generally bornte id minp. The first expeneiicea of.a bride are sueh that she would naturally-court retirement and rest rather than oat&itatious publicitv. A younr couple fn! public cars^and at hotel tames cannot ktep the precious and happy secret all to tnemselves. Theirnewly-formed r^latibn tells itself in a thousand ways. Of-tibia the bride is conscious, and the ordeal to, a sensitive young woman is moat jtrylog. Then the sudden shange iu tbe life o! the woman ia liable to bring on, physical derangements which may last a lifetime, for the shock to and exaltation of her feelings react on ber body, of ten jini piously. So the New York doctor we nave been speaking of onlered his daiishter.. with her young husband, to, epter at once upon tbe duties of a new! home, and to postpone the tour until as least a month haa passed awav. Of jpourpe, there is another side to ibis qbesmoh. It may be that even the fondest ajTectlon would not continue if two people were forced to spend all their tii?*6 together Wl(ilout the distrsuiilon nyoqfsK travel, and the reserve nscessai kept up in public places, interesting topio. ana one form a profitable aubjept women'aaoaieties.,. It is as upon which women pb be heard to advantage.,
