IT would seem that we have reached the era of mob law. Two lynchings in Indiana, one in Minnesota, one in Ohio, and perhaps several others elsewhere, all within a few weeks. Three of those named were for the inhuman outraging of little girls. In this class of crimes vengeance has followed the criminals Hwift and sure.

points in Illinoiswhere small pox exists. The report of the State Board of Health shows that while the disease isdiminishing in the State large occasional outbreaks still occur where vaccination has not been general. There are also several points in this State where the small pox has reK«ntly broken out with violence.

THE monthly crop report of the State bureau of statistics tor May 1, shows that throughout the State sixty-five per sen J. of the apple, and thirty-seven per cent, of the peach buds, as nearly as can le estimated, still remain uninjured. Tin* condition of the wheat and oats crops is better than at this time last year, and the iicreage larger. There is comfort in these statistics.

These manifestations continued, and she' found herself growing stronger. The pain of seven years was gone, She became able to walk in the yard and to be driven out. After while she grew discouraged because the Lord did not cure her all at once, and began to doubt. The moment her faith grew weak she felt her bodily health failing when hope returned she grew better. She says her cancer has decreased in size one-half, and is fast disappearing, »nd she has full confidence that she will soon be restored to health. Mrs. Washburn's

WITHIN the past few weeks, Indianapolis has added to its litorary facilities a monthly magazine, "The Telephone," nud an #ight-page weekly, "The Independent^' published by Sol Hathaway, whose initial appearance was last Saturday. Whenever a man or womau has nothing els© to do, In the Capital city, they start a newtp«por or a maga7Jne. One would think there might bo danger that the literary business would be overdone, but that does not seem to happen. The periodicals—dally, weekly, month-' lv. and quarterly—all flourish, grow bigger and bigger, and make their happy owners rich. If anybody contemplates the starting of any new literary venture, we advise him or her te go to Indianapolis. The business men there advertise in everything, the people re»d everything, and it Is "the best distributingpoint in the W est."

Tug cause of higher education for women is making substantial progress. In response to iuqniries from the New York association distinguished educators in England write that the efforts so far made in that country in this direction have borne the most satisfactory fruits. Thcv say that conservatives and radicals arf alike pleased with the results, and that the establishment of colleges for •women on the outskirts of university towns, deemed a bold experiment at first, has been an unqualified success. No trouble as to discipline has occurred, and no difficulty has arisen in admitting female attendants to the university and college lectures. England is really in advanceof America on this question and the movement has more sympathy among college men in that country than in

own. The equal education of the is the true and rational theory.

EX-JUDQE FKAZER, formerly of the Supreme Court, has given an opinion on the question of the election of State Senators this year which appears to be conclusive. His view is that only onehalf the Senate is to be filled at the November election, section 53 of the election law providing that "whenever a vacancy shall occur in the office of Senator when the legislature will be iu session after the occurrence of a vacancy and before a general election," a special election shall be held to fill it. As, in th© present iustance, the legislature will not be in session after the vacancy occurs and before the next general election, there will be no necessity for holding a special election and half the Sentte will simply be unfilled from the expiration of the terms of one set of Senators in Oo- geraniums in the windows, tober,

ber. It is as clear as moonshine that there is nothing in Mr. Voorhees' alleged discovery.

THE fund for the family of Robert Kelly, the engineer who lost his life by heroic conduct when the steamer Golden

City urned, has reached 1,215 and it is

hoped that $2,000 may be realized. There could be no more meritorious cause than such as this and it would be well if systematic efforts were made in every instance of the kind, to raise a fund for tbe family of thedead man who lost bis life bravely standing at his post of duty when other lives were in danger.

Cvnrs T. Nixox, who is collecting subscriptions for the proposed monument to Senator Morton, says it is now

It was finally ascertained that an internal cancer was eating away her life and the physicians frankly told her they could give her no permanent relief, and that she must make up her mind to die She did so. Her mother, however, was somewhat ofa believer in the doctrine of cures by prayer, and asked her daughter to try it, but the latter had no faith in it and for a time refused to try it. But one evening, she says, when all the family had gone to prayer-meeting, she "sud denly felb like getting well," and resolved to make the effort. For two days there appeared to be no change in her condition. Then, she says, "I was suddenly seized with great pains, any head seemed on fire, my feet tingled, and my blood burned. That passed away, and I felt myself growing drowsy, and, as usual, I lay down ou the sofa, but I could not sleep. Then the most curious features of my case were displayed. All my limbs were suddenly put in the most violent motion. My muscles twitched, my lin^s were jerked forcibly backward and for »vard, my hands moved convulsively."

JEFF DAVIS has been giving his annual exhibition of malignant idiocy again. At a meeting of the Southern Historical Society, at New Orleans, the other day, he said, speaking of the rebellion, that if he had known all that was to come to pass since the war ended, he would do it over and over again. He went on in a strain eulogistic of the grandeur and sacredness of the Southern cause, and deliberately denied that any aruelties were inflicted on Union Soldiers in Andersonville prison, declaring that the charge was a slander and that the only sufferings endured by the prisoners were the necessary result of climatic causes, and the want of proper medicines and food, which the authorities could not supply because they could not obtain them. It will be a relief to tlio country when Davis dies, if ever he does. He is a shining illustration of the doctrine of throwing pearls before swine. Kindness and mercy have been wasted upon him. Indeed his venom appears to have been increased by such treatment. Doubtless, however, his following is small and constantly growing smaller, aad he has long siuce lost the abilitv to do harm.

Venus is becoming a conspicuous object in the West, alter sunset. This planet and Jupiter are approaching one another—Jupiter moving toward the sun and Venus away from it. Their conjunction, in May, will be an attractive sight. Venus will be, in the Sommer, a beautiful telescopic object, exhibiting the phase of a crescent moon, and shining with extraordinary splendor. She is now swinging around on this side of the sun, preparatory to

his disk in December, which is one of the most important of all astronomical events, and for the observation of which various Governments have already begun to prepare expeditions. The astronomers have been preparing for it for twenty years, as it will be the last transit of Venus before the year 2064.

PROFESSOR RILEY the entomologist of the agricultural bureau at Washington, makes some interesting statements about the propagation of the common house fly. The eggs are laid in decomposing vegetation. They hatch in twenty-four hours, and in about ten days, more or lees, the time varying with the season and temperature, they aro full fledged and ready to dine with you. From which the inference is that if premises are rid of decomposing matter they will furnish no inviting places for depositing larvse, and se be free from the nuisance. The most watchful care cannot prevent the presence of flies in summer time, and many are the devices for destroying them. One of the best and most agreeable plans is to cultivate

The most unlikely story we ever read comes from the Courier-Journal, which tells of "a Kentuckian who made a dying request that he be buried in a branch where water will constantly rim injlils mouth."

The world has no mercy on the man who makes a mistake, however much of good he may have accomplished. The Philadelphia Record n,otes that William Penn, when he had all the land in the State, made a great mistake in not laying out Chestnut street one hundred feet wide.

ANew York jeweler has sold a 1,200 pair of garters. They are pearl-colored silk bands, trimmed with exquisite lace and joined by elaborate clasps. On one side is the young lady's monogram in pearls: on the other the family coat-of-arms—frosted storks' heads, surmounted by a delicately carved gold crest and a motto set in diamonds.

William Sharpe, M. D., of London, has written a book to show that whisky has been one of the most important factors in^human progress, and that when a man gets tight—the author called it "mental exaltation produced by alcoholic stimulation"—he has reached the very acme and zenith of civilization and culture.

The widow ofa man killed by the cars while in an .intoxicated condition brought suit against fifteen saloon keepers in Elgin, 111., who had sold her husband liquor, and also agaiust the owner of the building in which ®ne of the saloons were located. The plaintiff was nonsuited, except as to four of the saloon keepers and the one landlord, but against these a jury yesterday rendered a verdict fixing the damages at $2,804.

A pretty idea was carried out at a fashionable wedding in London the other day. The bride's dress was of white brocade, and the bridemaids appeared each in a different color, or rather tint, so pale of hue were their pretty dresses. Ono was in pale blue, another was in pale pink, A third in pale yellow, and the fourth in pale green, while all four wore large and picturesque white hats, trimmed with feathers and flowers to match their respective dresses, and each carried a bunch of flowers which also harmonized in color with her gown.
