TERRE HAUTE, APRIL 22, 1882.

ADVICES from New Albany say tbere •will be a good supply of peaches, pears and apples in that part of the State, notwithstanding the frost.

THE University of Michigan has the largest income of any college in the United States, being $300,000 a year. Harvard is next, with Yale and Columbia nearly a tie.

THE terrible tornado which swept over portions of Missouri on Tuesday, left devastation and ruin in its pathway. Whole towns were nearly destroyed and hnndreds of persons were killed or injured. ______________

THE coronation of the late Czar of Russia cost$12,000,000, and it is estimated that it will cost half that sum to get him under the ground, as he is to have a twoweeks' funeral. However it may strike the people of the old world, royalty looks like an expensive luxury from this side of the water.

THE Central iBank failure at Indianapolis grows worse and worse and worse. The assets of the bank are practically worthless and iv- it turns out that the ftartners, individually, have no property of any consequence. The depositors are asking whether they will be assessed to pay for winding the concern up.

LONGFELLOW'S last poem, the proof tlip of which he corrected only a few days before his death, which is published in the Atlantic Monthly for May, exhibits all thtfgrace and charm which characterize his earlier productions. It has the thoughtful suggest!veness underlying its rippling cadences with which the public is so familiar.

THE bill before Congress to prevent the adulteration of food and drugs empowers the Secretary of the Treasury to appoint aboard of analysis and inspection to determine whether articles suspected are impure or not. It is thought the bill will be passed. If so it gives promise ofbeing of practical benefit in the way of abolishing food adulterations

Gov. FOSTEK, of Ohio, has issued a proclamation setting apart Thursday, April 27tli, as Arbor day, and recommending the pcoplo to spend apart or all of the day in planting forest trees by tbe roadside, in groves, about their houses, and wherever else tlicy may deem propel*. This is a iif vy^aiul pleasant^de-

ey in other States.

TnK Ford Brothers, as mentioned elsewhere, hnve been tried, convicted, sentenced and pardoned, all in one day. But Hobert Ford seenis to be "out of the frying pan into the fire," for he is now in custody for killing Wood Hite, one of the outlaw gang. The Ford boj-s say Governor Crittenden promised them immunity for all past crimes, but this the Governor denies. He will doubtless pardon them all the same.

I NT'T NN.vri proposes to have a grand Nhakspearcan festival next Fall. The plays are to br» presented with a magniti oni-o never before attempted, the cast to include the leading stars liko Booth, Barrett, McCullough, Mary Anderson, Fanny Davenport, Mojesku, etc. It is a great undertaking and if carried out vnivessfully will lie an event of unusual interest. Already a guarantee fund of ft ,txtO has lieen subscribed by prominent citizens. ________________

OHIO

has big liquor lifcht on hand

vs. Indiana. The Enquirer has already sailed in under the lanner of free men and no Sunday, but the Gazette warns it that it will be compelled to eat crow between now and October. Sixteen Iemocmts in the House voted for the Sunday bill and many of the leading members of that party in tho State are outspoken in their approval of the measure. There is likely to be music in the air in both States before tho Fall elections. ___________

THK signal service is studying the phenomena of tornadoes and has made a table of 600 of them, covering a period of S7 years. It is found that Kausas has suffered most, having had 62 tornadoes in 22 year?. Illinois xmes next and then Missouri. Indiana has had 27 in 28 years. The average width of the path of destruction is about one-fifth of a mile and the wind within the vortex sometimes attains a velocity of 800 miles an hour, the average velocity being 392 miles.

THK evangelist, Harrison, closed his revival in Cincinnati on Monday night. The meeting lasted three months and resulted in 1400 conversions in St. Paul's church alone, though the total number of converts reported in the various Methodist churches of the city was about U.ooo, while many were added to the churches of other denominations. The Gaxetty, commenting on the evangelist's w^irk, savs that whereas the condition of the churches generally at the beginning of the year was one of comparative dearth and coldn*s«, they nearly all are now warm with enthusiasm and full of aggressive life. The evangelist is reported as lacing emaciated and badly worked down, notwithstanding this be goes into si new revival meeting ituJnoiiate'v as Tiftin,

Ohio,

THE Ford brothers, who killed Jeaae James, pleaded guilty to murder in the first degree last Moaday and were sentenced to be hanged, but on the same day Gov. Crittenden pardoned them Now, it is said, Frank James is organiz ing a new band of desperadoes whose business it will be to revenge the murder of Jesse and make things as lively in Missouri as they were while the deceased bandit lived. If this threat carried out it is to be hoped there will be a few other Ford brothers left to make an end of Frank.

THERE is a great storm, in Cincinnati over the passage, by the Legislature, the bill requiring saloons to be closed on Sunday. The brewers say they sell as much beer on Sunday as they do on any other three days in the week, and, as may be supposed, they are very mad about it. They don't know yet whether they will obey the law or not.. They probly will, for Cincinnati, unlike Indianapolis, has a Mayor who is under no obligations to the saloon men, and has grit enough to enforce the laws. The Cincinnati liquor-sellers will have to get used to doing like liquor-sellers have to do elsewhere.

CHARLES ROBERT DARWIN, the well known scientist, and originator of the theory of development by natural selec tion, known as "Darwinism," died on Thursday. He was born on February 12, 1809—the same day that witnessed the birth of Li ti coin. Probably no thinker of modern times exerted,more influence on current thought than Darwin Ilis theory of physiological development, that all existing species were evolved from one original germ, man being included in the line of development, has already secured the acceptance of tho majority of naturalists, though it is still vigorously combatted by some men of great eminence in the scientific world. His best-known works are tho "Origi^.Specfefel" the "Descent of Man," "variation?-

|vPiants

and Ani

mals Under Domestication," and the "Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals," besides several others. His writings are distinguished for their candor, fairness and accuracy, are clear and simple in their style, and are interesting to the general reader. Like most men devoted to scientific investigation, Darwin was an indefatigable toiler, and, though suffering for some time from weakuoss of the heart, continued to work till the last.

HOUSE FURNISHING. "A young couple who are able to go to their own house just after their marriage are very fortunate," says the New York Sun. By this it does not mean that they shall own tho house, but simply ]Kssess it for in that great city rents are so high that desirable houses are far beyond the reach of most newlymarried couples, and they are obliged to begin life in a boarding-house, or at best in a small Apartment. In this respect those who live in smaller towns are far more fortunate, for they can usually afford the cost of a pleasant house large enough to accommodate all their necessities, and can begin the delightful and engrossing business of furnishing it at once. And indeed, to those of limited means it is said that this occupation is all the more fascinating because they are obliged to deliberate longer before buying, and this makes the article finally obtained all the dearer to them.

But, being married and having the house, how is it to bo furnished The writer above reforred to makes some suggestions. In window hangings the ouce popular lambrequins are to be avoided, and the curtains are to be of some material, no matter how cheap, which hangs in agreeable folds, of a solid color or a Moorish or Persian pattern. A square piece ot material of a contrasting color or shade, or merely a heavy fringe, maybe put at the top or the curtains tnay be run on around rod of brass or wood, dispensing with a top piece altogether. A conspicuous cornice is pronounced vulgar.

Any sort of table will do for a centretable, except "those hideous white mar-ble-top ones." A plain square or round table, with legs painted black, and covered with a pretty cloth, will be quite the thing. It is not necessary to buy a set of furniture with the chairs matching in their coverings, but they may be of different stylos and patterns, so that the qplors will harmonise in a general way. Wicker chairs are desirable, and black is a good color for them. Camp chairs, prettily covered, are also in good taste.

The man tie piece Is to be hidden from 1 aight by aboard covered with a suitable material and bordered with a fringe. The parlor must not bo overloaded with furniture. Small figured or plain paper

IT is said that expressions of gratification are heard on every side in WashingIon at the escape of Captain Howgate, the Government embezzler, and the hope is expressed that he will not be recaptured at which the Indianapolis Times remarks: "This is about the average standard of Washington morality Washington is indeed getting to be a vile place in many respects—a gaudy, brazen, heartless place, full of cliques and classes, where the only measure of a man's worth is the size of his salary, as shown by the Blue book. And yet people are crazy to go there, and young men forsake business or professional life at at home to take Department clerkships in Washington, whose salaries are barely able to keep them in the extravagant style of living which is prevalent at the Capital. No man of sense and character ever yet buried himself in that vast offi cial honey-comb who did not regret it to the last day ot bis life.

with two or three shelves inside and a couple on top and a curtain in front to hide the lower shelves, is sufficient Painted with several coats of black and varnished, it will have the appearance of lacquer work.

will agreeably relieve the black. The walls of the hall should have plain tint—Pompeiian red is a good shade—with the washboard of a dark brown and the floor the same, covered with shellac a strip of carpet half a yard wide laid through the centre. Don't buy a hat-rack but put up some pegs to hang coats on, provide a table for hats, ajar for umbrellas and a chair to sit on In carpeting the house generally leave a space, of sixteen or eighteen inches around the room, to be painted dark brown and covered with shellac.

Such are some of the modern ideas upon the subject of house furnishing and they have the merit of economy iu some particulars, if no other to recommend them to persons of limited in come.

The newly elected Constables will receive instructions, as soon as they go into office, which will be in a few days, to look after all dogs in the city ana township that do not wear a tag issued by the Trustee. It is a State law that makes it the duty of the Trustee to collect the dog tax, and I must obey the law. It seems that some parties in the city are under the impression that the law does not affect the dogs in the city but they must all pay the State tax.
