A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

P. S. WESTFALL,

EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

TERRE HAUTE, JUNE 24, 1882

THE com is little, but the weather is mighty. There is no cause to be discouraged.

REPORTS from the principle wheatgrowing sections indicate that the crop of 1882 will be the banner crop.

THB daya have commenced to shorten already, and yet we seem hardly to have fairly entered upon the Summer season yet.

THE coming Fourth of July will bring op painful recollections, but it will not be a day of national depression such as rested upon us a year ago.

INDIANAPOLIS is expecting to have a big time over her military encampment in July. If we should be disposed to offer any suggestions to our neighbors of the Capital city, it would be uot to overdo the thing in the matter of charges.

THB Democratic State Central Committee of Illinois has decided that the candidate for President in 1884 must be a Western man. Does that mean Mr. Hendricks, or Mr. McDonald, or Mr. Voorhees? At all events it does not mean Mr. Tilden.

GUITEAU seems to be very near his «nd. The hope that the Supreme Court would grant a writ of habeas corpus has been disappointed, the Court holding that the District Court, which tried and condemned him, had jurisdiction of his case. Nothing now remains between the aHsaHsin and the gallows, and less than a week of life is left for him.

THE good work of civil service reform goes on, we suppose, but its fruitage is not abundant. A Now York dispatch announces that all the postofflce employes in that city have been notified by the executive committee of the Republican party that a check from each for fl6 would be thankfully received, to be used in the patriotic business of crushing tho Domocracy. As this is President Arthur's State, it is to be presumed that ho is in harmony with this method of raising campaign funds.

ONE morning this week the Cincinnati police court presented thirteen women for judgment on the charge of drunkenness. Commenting on this fact the Gazette says "the common use of boor ass hnvpraen, in some communities, by men, women and children, ta\i*)tb party from all disgracotliat might otherwise attach to the mere drinking of it, and hence it is that otherwise respectable women Imbibe too freely, who, if a different sentiment prevailed, would not resort to its use when nervously excited." It lis just barely possible that the use of beer in the Paris of America is a trifle to free.

THE looseness of the present divorce laws in Connecticut and some of the other Now England States, casting in the shade those which once disgraced the statute books of Indiana on this subject, are the topic of much discussion, especially in church circles, and the Rev. L. W. Bacon, in an article contributed to tho Princeton Roviow, declares that the main difleronpo between the polygamy of Utah, ami that of New England is that "in Utah polygamy is unlawful and simultaneous, while in New England it is lawful and consecutive." In other words, the Utah polygamist need not discard ono wife before taking another, while in New England he must do so but this is a little piece of formality which is so easy of accomplishment that it is not felt to be in the way at all. This Teaetlon from the once famous severity of New England divorce laws is a rather remarkable social phenomenon which is likely to be succeeded as so often happens, by the swing of the pendulum of public sentiment to the opposite extreme.

CvcLONBsare becoming frequent in the W«*t. The one which paswed over Grinnell, Iowa, last Saturday was «xeeptionally destructive of life and property. Its approach was heralded by a lurid and ominous appearance in the clouds, and a terrifying roar, like that of the rumble of heavily loaded freight trains. Substantial buildings were crushed like egg-ahells, and in a space of ten blocks, covered with the finest residencesin the city, scarcely half a doten were left standing. The people who bad cellars fled into them for refuge, and of those who did so, it is said only

000

was killed. Rut of those who remained above ground many were killed or wounded. The number of persons killed In the district over which the cyclone passed is stated to be 100, the wounded and the value of property destroyed fl

,500,000. These are considered low estimate*. A tornado like this is almost as terrihleas an earthquake, and indeed accomplishes its destruction in much the same way. It would be interesting to know what, if any, effect the settlement of the Western country has bad in producing these terrible storms, which do certainly appear to have increased, both in frequency and intensity, of recent ywrs, and whether anything can be done to avert or mitigate their destrwUveness, The Investigations which it Is understood the government meteorological bureau is making in this direction may throw aoase light apon the matter, but it I* more than likely thai tbey are beyond the power of human •octroi.

SECRETARY of the Navy, Chandler, has been making a speech down at Boston about American shipping, in which he showed that while the United States buys fl50,000,000 worth of products a year from the Central and South American States, they buy scarcely anything at all from us, and suggested that the remedy for this state'of things would be found in subsidizing a line of American vessels for the South American trade. To this proposition the Chicago Tribune replies that the trouble is not that there is any present difficulty in getting our goods carried to the South American States, but that there is difficulty in getting the people of those countries to buy them, for the reason that they «an buy the aaire goods so much cheaper in France and England. Says the Tribune:

We know there is a bill before Conprress increasing the tax on New Hampshire made hosiery from thirty-five cents on each dollar's worth to eightyfive cento on each dollar's worth. But

SriceHampshire

they nave to pay

ew and if this bill should pass they will be able to get 185 pairs from England for the cost of 100 pairs from New Hampshire. So is it, and in the same proportion, with all the other manufactures, and still Mr. Chandler apparently declines to understand why these South Americans don't buy their hosiery in New Hampshire and not in England or France. Subsidizing a steamship will not make any people pay forty per cent extra for what they want to buy."

There is probably some truth in this line of argument, but it can hardly be the whole truth. We know that English vessels are heavily subsidized by the Government, and we can scarcely hop a that uneubsidized American vessels can compete with them in the carrying trade, even if everything else were equal. Doubtless, too, our tariff system is susceptible of great improvement, but whether or not with theJiigher cost of living in this country, and the higher wages paid to American workmen, we could fairly compete with England iu the manufacture of goods, is a question upon which there has been, and still is, much difference of opinion among able men. __________

LUCK VS. WORK.

Just what influence, if any, luck has upon the lives of men, is likely never to be clearly settled. Many persons be^ lieve in it more or less vaguely. With some it is such a shadowy sentiment as hardly amounts to a belief with others it is a controlling conviction while others still, deny that any such thing as luck, or fate, or fortune exists.

Among the ancients the belief in fate, or destiny was general. Ctssar had unlimited confidence in his "good fortune" and intimated to the frightened pilot "•.at thog*

v"

them

—ould to

be shipv"vcked. Pliuy ,*rote: "Some people refer their successes to virtue and ability, but it is all fate." Alexander counted much upon his good fortune, and the surname of "Fortunate" was given Sulla on account of his supposed good luck. Cicero, speaking of Fabius Maximus,Marcellus4Scipio,and Mavius, said: "There can be little doubt but that, besides their great abilities, there was a certain Fortune appointed to attend upon them and to conduct them to honor and renown, and to uncommon success iu the management of important affairs."

Nor has this idea been without a following in modern times. Napoleon had his "star of destiny," Cromwell and Nulson their lucky days, and even Bacon, the hard headed philosopher, was forced to admit that "outward accidents conduce much to fortune." Marlborough planned his battles carefully ,and talked of his destiny, and Shakspeare deolares that "There's a divinity that shapes our ends, "Roughhew them how we will." Byron, too, saw the hand of fate at work in his affairs.

On the other hand many believe that luck is a visionary factor in human life and that men succeed or fail strictly according to their deserts. "Burden not the back of Aries, Leo, or Taurus, with thy faults nor make Saturn, Mars, or Venus guilty of thy follies," protested Sir Thomas Browne. And another eminent man has testified that, "outward accidents will sometimes happen but after many, many years of thoughtful experience, I can truly say, that nearly all those who began life with me have succeeded or failed as they deserved." Will not the experience and observation of most people confirm this statement?

And yet the persons are few, perhaps, who, looking over their lives, see nothing in them that looks like good or bad luck no occurrences which impressed them at the time more or lees vividly as things over which they had no control, and which, as it chanced, marked important epochs in their lives. Men of the soundest judgment and most illustrious ability have confessed to such feelings. Lord Erekine once declared that success oftener depended upon accident and certain physical advantages than upon the most brilliant talent and the most profound* erudition, and be was always deeply impressed with the series of happy accidents which afforded him the first opportunity he had of appearing in a case and disclosing his wonderful powers of oratory. A popular and successful politician compared the forensic career to a crossing in a busy thoroughfare: be who is fortunate enough to arrive when it is clear, gets over at once while another, coming but a moment later, may find it blocked and be kept waiting until too late. And yet tbe latter may be the better walker of the two.

But, after all, speculations like these are perhaps more curious than profitable for, if there be brilliant and eventful Ures which seem filled with tbe ro­

mance of rare good fortune, it will hardly be asserted that faithful, thorough application to some single line of work ever goes unrewarded. The history of the best success is that of patient, persistent effort. "One of the points of success," says Paley, "is knowing how long a time it takes to succeed." The steady pull will count in time. In every town and city are many substantial citizens who began life with nothing and saved the beginning of a fortune out of the scantiest wages. Year after year found

doing the same work, but mounting a little and a little higher. From office boy they become clerk from clerk, the^head of a department by and by, a junior partner and in due time the head of the house.

The chief justice of the Supreme Court of Illinois began his profession with only 10 in the world. The division Superintendent of the Chicago, Burlington A Quincy railroad started at the brake. A boy to whom he gave the position of brakeman is now the General Superintendent of the Central Pacific,and a man who started as a section boss now holds the position of assistant Superintendent of the Union Pacific. Examples like these, which might be multiplied ad libitum, show that energy, industry and faithful workers need concern themselves very little about good or bad luck.

SA YINOS AND DOINGS.

St. Louis is to have a church founded on morality. Just forty-two years ago the first lager beer saloon was opened in tbe city of New York. There are now several.

An exchange says "the idea of teaching every girl to thump a piano, and make every boy to be a book-keeper will make potatoes $5abushelin twenty years."

Miss Dora Apple of Chicago is suing Mr. Stone, of Wisconsin for breach of promise, demanding $20,000. And it serves him right. Mr. Stone should have paired his Apple.

One of the most touching incidents of marital devotion ever reported is that of a Pittsburgh man who gave a lager beer picnic in order to raise money to by a tombstone for his wife.

The last census shows the average family to be composed of five and onequarter persons. The New York Commercial Advertiser queries that "the old man" in many families scarcely amounts to a quarter.

Puck prints a very suggestive picture which illustates a new game. It represents a boarding house table with a strawberry shortcake upon it and the boarders eagerly watching the landlady carve it.. The game is entitled "Who .. ai get the strawbi

A lady fashion writer says:—"In dress we are nothing but monkeys." And the Norristown Herald wants to know:— "Whoever saw a monkey attired in a corset, a twenty dollar hat, seventeen button gloves, a lot of false h^r, and several hundred dollar? worth qfr dr.y' goods?"

The full term of three years had nearly expired, and they were discussing at the break fast-table the certainty that they must move and the uncertainty to where, when the young miss of the parsonage drew a heavy sigh. Sympathizing father asks the cause and she replies: "Oh, I was thinking what a mistake mother and I made when we married a Methodist minister."

It is customary, in some localities, to teach children to think ef a text as they drop their pieces of money into the con-tribution-box. A certain little girl' at Sunday school recently saw the box approaching, and began to search in her memory for a text. She hesitated for a moments, dropped the dime into the box, and exclaimed triumphantly, "A fool and his money are soon parted."

Saturday Review "There can be nb question that Sunday labor is itl many ways on the increase. Among the upper classes the religious estimate of the day has undergone a considerable change. There is more Sunday traveling, more Sunday dinner giving, and generally a greater disposition to treat the day as a holiday in the sense of enjoyment of pleasure as well as of abstinence from work."

Mrs. Dunmire, Guiteau's diyorood wife, writes to tbe Leadville Evening Chronicle, in reply to a letter alleged to have been written by her to C. H. Reed, counsel for the assassin, authorizing the use of her name in the petition for his pardon, in which she repudiates the letter and adds: "With reference to my seeking a pardon for Guiteau, I have never entertained the thought, and as I am in possession of an average degree of common sense and ordinary intelligence, I could not reasonably or honestly entertain such an idea."

When a fond mother finds that her six-year-old baby knows the difference between a blue pencil and a black one, she is sure be will be a great artist when be shows a tendency to make mud men, she knows be will be a famous sculptor when he goes "choo, choo" along the yard, she is cerUdn he was born for a railroad magnate and wh*n he afterwards settled down to clerking at 910 a week, she begins for the first time to reflect that her boy might have made a good mechanic and be on tbe high road to comfort, if not to fortune but, then, alas! it is too late. The ambition of American mothers, beautiful as such doting love is, must be held responsible for a good many of tbe mined callings in this country.

A former Universalis* preacher writes to the Chicago Times: "I wanted to see some evidence that I was doing somebody some good, that some one was

leaving the bad and turning to the right. But alas! I could not find one who seemed even to want to lead a better life. It troubled me, I tried to preaeh more earnestly, and still no good came of it. One evening as I walked home, I heard some of my people discussing the sermon. One said: 'That was ad fine sermon wasn't it?' 'You're right it was,' said another. It grieved me, but I took a little pains to listen, and I heard more such compliments, and I grew more thoughtful. There must be a mistake somewhere. Had I failed to estimate human nature correctly? After all, was it not possible that men needed something else than these fine sermons? The end was that I gave up preaching, came West, and~settled on a farm."

HARRIET BEECRER STOWE" S BIRTHDA Y.

Correspondence of The Mail. Right there in the very midst of that den of liens, and yet, like Daniel, com ing out safe and sound, not a mouthful taken out of the flesh, not even a scratch from an ugly claw! The escape, however, was not due to the Daniel-like virtues of the victim, nor yet to the fact that he would not have made a good mouthful to a hungry lion, but rather to the character of the lions themselves, they being only "them literary fellers," instead of denizens of the forests. Yes, there was great rejoicing in the household, and not a little swelling pride, when informed that Houghton, Mifflin A Co. desired our presence at the celebration of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's seventieth birthday. It did not require much deliberation to send the desired "reply," and say we would be there. It was a garden party, held at Newtonville, on the grounds of Ex-Governor Clafflin. At three o'clock of the most1 beautiful June day which New England could furnish, we were promptly on the spot. The lions were there in full force before us, and continued to pour in long after our arrival. But it was dreadfully puzzling to know which were the lions, —which the real big ones and which the little cubs—and which only mortals like ourselves. It is not altogether comfortable to be in a den of lions for the only time in one's life, and not know which are the lions. The good wife sat beside a lady in the refreshment room, and as the two ate ice cream they chatted together, and the lady asked the good wife the name of your correspondent, evidently thinking him one of the attractions of the occasion, and lo! it turned out that the modefet and timid wife had been having a most familiar tete a-tcte with one of the most noted women of New England! How could she know fV *Ms V''y. who r.tn *re arcana vrith a sp^on and seemed to enjoy it, saying nothing of tho salads, the strawberries, the frozen pudding, the cake, Ac., Ac., was not of the ordinary race of women, but an author, a public speaker, a reformer So there were to the right of us, and to the left of us, in front of us and behind us, and all about us, in bewildering confusion, poets, novelists, magazine writers, editors and literary people without end. Let us just step into the Library, a small room in which the Ex-Governor gets away from the family and visitors for his quiet reading, and there sits a group of which a man is in luck if he can even get a picture, and which but few can hardly hope more than once in a lifetime to see together. Beecher sits there with his broad face wearing one of its most contented and genial aspects—a face as changeable as the Summer sky, but to-day all sunshine. In the corner of the sofa is a wee bit of a woman, short, thin and frail, of a wiry frame, plain looking and yet with a strikingly intelligent face, very plainly dressed, and yet in better taste today than usual—a woman who would pass along the street, or mingle in a crowd, and attract no special attention tbe last woman on earth who would be thought to be a sister of Henry Ward Beecher. This is Mrs. Stowe herself, the heroine of the day. Next her sits another thi n, rai 1 woman—tal ler, plain in dress and countenance—evidently not physically strong, and yet with a vast amoiri^f nervous energy. It is Elizabeth Stu& Phelps. In a chair in front of the sofa, and facing it, with a quiet, restful face, genial as a Summer morning, and spiritual as a madonna, sits *he modest, childlike and bland Whittier, his thin frame erect, and evidently enjoying tbe wit of tbe diminutive neighbor in the'next chair. 8aid neighbor has a very peculiar face, by no means intellectual, though if the chin were not so disproportionately small as compared with the upper part of the face and head as to attract tbe chief attention, we might look for the evidences of intellect and find them. The owner of this queer foce and little body is evidently in ex cellent humor with himself, and also with the rest of the world. It is Oliver Wendell Holmes. And there is the brosd, frank, happy face of Lucy Larcum—the first of the literati whom we have yet seen who has a physical frame at all to be compared with the mental qualities possessed. She is a good strong women, physically, as well as mentally. These, with two or three other lesser lights—lights which would shine very brightly in almost any other company _xmstitute the group in the Library. On the platform, in the tent where the formal exercises are held, are all those from tbe library, and also Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney, Mrs. Burnett, Miss Bates, Judge Tourjee, Trowbridge, Bronson Aloott, Prof. Stowe, numerous Beechers, Ac., Ac. Beecher makes one of his happiest speeches, Holmes reads remarkably well one of bis best poems, and also does tbe same for Miss Pbelps. Prof. Sanborn reeds a poem for tbe modest

MATT.

Whittier, and poem follows poem for an hour or two. Judge Tourjee, introduced as one of the men whom Mrs. Stowe had sent on a "Fool's Errand," and who rose to tell what he found, made a very happy speech. He is a young man still. Bnt for the fact that he was in the army during the rebellion, we should set him down as hardly over thirty yet. He speaks very slowly, almost with a drawl, and yet at once wins the attention of his hearers. Prof. Stowe, a bluff old man, a chronic invalid, called upon, after numerous speeches and poems, to "add a word," heavily rises from his chair, as he says, gruffly, "I've nothing to say. Besides, after this feast who wants Indian pudding, and that without molasses?" This was all the speech he made. At seven o'clock the "meeting broke," and we mortals who had been sitting with the gods for four hours, came down to the busy, humdrum earth once more. E. F. H.

LATER estimates place the loss from the Iowa cyclone at from $2,500,000 to #3,000,000. An appeal for aid has been issued by some of the devastated districts.

THE dispatches this morning intimate that Guiteau may possibly have a short reprieve, in or^er to allow an inquiry as to the question of his insanity. Why couldn't this have been attended to long ago.?

ADVANTAGE OF BEING RICH. Detroit Free Press. It is only the rich who can stay at home and enjov the lawn dresses, cool varandas and pleasant rooms. The poor must go away every summer or some one will think they haven't any money.

A NUGGET OF COMMON SENSE. Denver Tribune. A man who carries a revolver does not do so for fun. There 'is nothing funny in having your pockets worn oat by a forty-five calibre. The presumption is that he carries the weapon to kill somebody, and when he kills somebody he ought to be punished for it.

WHO SETS THE FASHIONS IN NEW HA VEN. New Haven Union. "You'll see,"said a court official to-day, "if among a certain class of foolish girls the fashion of wearing a white handkerchief pendant from the waist, as Blanche Douglas does.is not widely imitated,just as the style of dress and white wax beads worn by Jennie Cramer at tbe time of her death was copied last summer."

PRESIDENT GARFIELD'S BODY. Gov. Sherman, of Iowa. I saw President Garfield a day or two ago in Cleveland. You need not look astonished—I really saw him—not his spirit, but his own form and features. I had visited his tomb to do homage to the spot where the martyr-President was sleeping. The watchman in charge, on hearing whence I came and who I was, asked if I wriuld !:.c t,b© TiORidont. I was as greatly surprised as you can be. He simply showea me he was in earnest, invited me into the tomb, unscrewed and removed the lid from that sacred casket, and there lay Gen. Garfield before me—iust as he looked the day of his funeral—as if in a weary, unrefreshing sleep. I was surprised, for, despite the emaciation of those noble features, I was at once struck with their likeness to the General as I had seen him alive. I presumo that years will pass ere the preserving traces of the embaloner's work will have been removed from all that is left on earth of Garfield. He was a great mau, and it shows in his calm though pain-shrunken features still.

CLARA BELLE.

BILL NYE GIVES HER ROME FATHERLY ADVICE.

Clara Belle, the vivacious and witty correspondent of the Enquirer, has been devoting her pen to the bald-headed occupants of the mourner's bench at tbe theater, and seems to think there is room for mofal reform, if not civil sirvice reform. Bill Nye addresses Clara after his own fashion, and takes for his text the New Haven women who so lavishly bestowed their smiles on tho Malleys:

The chances are that if tbe sweet and highly accomplished young ladies of New Haven, who sat in tbe court room and giggled through the testimony when medical sharps poked ever tbe canned vitals and pickled internal economy of Jennie Cramer a short time ago, were to come to Wyoming and perchance bear a hardened reprobate say "gosh." they would faint away. Clara Belle says that men are terribly low and degraded by nature, aod admit that for tho sake of argument. Tbey have coarse tastes and when tbey are by themselves tbey, some of them, tell a class of stories that make us shudder now to think of, but women should be man's better angel. Clara, she should ever lead him upward and onward. She was created as a refiner of socicty, the guiding star of the household and tbe knee plus ulster of this wicked world.

That's why we say, Clara, that while you are attacking bald-headed men and making their lives a burden to them,because tbey get powerful opera glasses snd sit on the front seat at tbe female minstrel performances you are fooling with a lot of depraved wretches whose cases are hopeless, when you should go over to New Haven and do a little missionary work there. Turn the unregenerate sinner loose, Clara, till you nave saved the tender young ewe lambs of Connecticut. A day or two of sin to tbe old offender on the bald-headed row does not matter. Go at once, Clara, to the court room, where the sickening details of a young girl's ruin are being told where the delicate economy of a betrayed and murdered child is held on the point of a carving knife while the cold-blooded expert gives his theory of the crime. Go there, Clara waltz up to tbe front seat, where the giggling girls of Connecticut are drinking in tbe horrible details, and if you love your sex and will for tbe moment let the male sinners take care of

ui themselves, procure a fence Doarci, Clara, go to them and win tbeni back to love of the pure and the good, Do that, Clara, ana in the meantime we will keep our eye on tbe male sex till you get through.
