From Hk Window.

I do not believe one can a better barometer of ocr general well-to-do-ativene-ss than th?c. A number of church peoj)lo got together and incneasetl their minister's salary-without being asked to do it. You knov/ as well as I do that it is not tho rich «ien that par such salaries. They are usually small contributions from a lange number off the moderately well-to-do. I am glatf an effort is mado to keep wl'.h us one of those bright men who oan be everybody's friend without making a fuss about it. On the other hand, it said that another equally bright man, who has become the possession of tle.entiro comirunity by his very catholic spirit and belief in the brotherhood -of man, way leave us. Since our ministerial lwethren seem, nowadays, to'forget their church fences and walk around on tho outside, it is fitting that those on tho outside make a return. I have no doubt if this could be made a question of salary that the onergetic, active J'.aptist f«!ks, who do not number uwwjy rich men (but do some very liberal,}, will iiudenany subscriptions w»itiiig for them Ijoyond the pale of their churth. Itut I am afraid it not a question of money, for it relates to a man wboee-views are so large, and industry so roat that ke needs a larger Held.

There are other men who need larger lield to show the stuff that is in them. There.is onr friend Allen, who has poipkated me fceyond measuro by that to bis name, lie ought to be Judge, to tet thoseoalm, rational jualities of his be 1-nown. It issomewhatin a man'sfacor that

can resist thepolit-

ical fevor, or meiUles, for it is so catching, for twenty ..years. I think it is very much in anyones favor that ho can be a Democrat in Terre Haute a score of years, and you Jieqp forgetting it. It is a sign that one oar. forget his politics when he is a Judge. Now I am not saying that Allen ought to be the next Judge, but meiioly ,U»at if there should be another iand-aliik', or wo are snowed under, that we would rather see Mr. Q. Allen tower abfcvo the ruins with his extensive allituJQ,.Uian any less steady, reliable, woll-balan«ed man of his political faith. Then two -such men as Scott and Alien would uuiko such a respectable alternative. Either would

able—neither objectionable. They can shake hands with eaoh other before tho mill and afterwards*too.

One of the nine-days' wonders may be our embryo Congressman. Of course we hope he may be a*.embryo only, and never chip tho shelL As I watched the crowd that waited wibh tho band to receive him, I rather envied the thrill of this very young man who had captured the lest prite in his party's gift, as he met the music and the .cheers at the de pot, I am reminded of an incident Many years ago soa»e of tho High school boys had a little public debate on the interesting subject «f capital punishment. The young feUows had been a little crowded by exaaaknation work, and introduced their speaches by excuses—all but one, and be said he bad school work, and work in his father's butcher shop, to do, but made no ex.cusww. The admission, so free from false pride, and manly, was a happy bit, And brought down the house, and I-have always lilted him for it. It was John Iamb, He has been debating on capital punishment considerably si ace that time. This election of officers ia much of a lottery, and with the certainty that sometimes we will draw blanks and at others, prises, makes it necoasarv to take onr chances philosophically, and make the best of our men. It is our comfort to think that I Arab, with all his energy and political ability, is as mlnerable a candidate as can be put op. Also, that that he has a number of outspoken opponents in his own party. We fondly hope that this Lamb ia the veritable old ramUiat wascangfci in the thick** to be sacrificed for our gaotie Isaac, wbo had

a knife at his throat a few weeks since. The vituperation and blasting that Pierce will receive will be limited only by Lamb's imagination, it is said. When that inevitable time comes, when Indiaaa for its sins will be delivered, bound hand and foot, to the Democratic party, to do* penance for a time, Mr. Lamb will go to Congress. It may not be aext time, (don't think it will) but it w«l be some other time. With his new experience he may shake off some of tike imprudences and excreeenses that now make him so very objectionable to many. He has it in him to be a great man. He has that in him to hiuder him. Time will show what he ••ill be.

I was much moved by apathetic appeal to the press, some time since, especially the Saturday branch, to publish more correspondence by women. Beg pardon I should haw said ladies, which unfortunate word, fchauk Heaven, is to l»e tabooed by society. It is to be the custom, some day, to speak of the softer half of the htiman race as women, and let the lady be understood.

Hut to resume—this appeal suggested cows as a theme for an article or two. Why not slop-barrels and scavengers? Did you wevor hear a woman—wish she could swear—as she saw half a garbage barrel emptied in the yard, under pretense of being removed? Does Myers know that'his sins of omission and commtesiom arerank, and smell to Heaven? Then thro win a cow or two, who walk into 5iards-and upset slop-barrels, «nd j'ou b«ve something to write about that will barrow up the soul of Myers, and the Board Of Health.

Our Breakfast Table.

The Major sipped a beverage in which clin'ksd 'refreshingly some of Perdue's iec. Tho color was all right, but the fisrid was tea. Miss I^atira fanned languidly Avith one of those breexe-convpell-ers .thirty inches in diameter, aed said it was too hot to tell the truth.- Jack-said maliciously that he knew now wfoy -she *.lwi»y«looked socootand fresh and positively,late last night, or maybe it was s»rly in the morning, he had felt inclined to takeaway the bed from one of •£ohn'.Lamb's right bowers. It was on the cool, cool grass, and the sleeper mura»ttrcdr&s he was kicked "Air ye plaze, «hut the window!" Mcliwan, orossas 4wo«etfcks, after a hard-week's M'.d the sale of ever so many barrels of «alt.aud sundries, said: "Thatis oneof your lusual picturesque illustrations •less truth than poetry. This is to be a campaign qf slurs. Number ©«e is a poke at our candidate's age—number two will be whisky, I supposed" "iBless you, I was joking!" said Jack. "Wadon't need anything of thekind give you rope enough and yon will haug yourselves. Aren't lots of steady old Democrats prancing around mad as wet hens over this nomination. We know how your sly campaigners have shoved Lamb into this tight. They will °oue in next time, when there is a better clmuce, and Lamb is shelved as a de featedeandi *'8tulT and nonsense!" exclaimed Mac. '•All "Ye«, indeed all nonsense. Talk of something else.

Well, old boy, yoa are all right and I clapped him on the back. He groaned and saidt

its share of the pile you talk about. I would like to see our city better advertised roundabout. A few of our houses are drawing trade here, but more of them seem to think their trade is bounded by the township lines, and that it is not worth while to go and look for it. I pick up the papers in the neighboring country towns, and find a very few stale advertisements of Terre Haute business. Wholesale men are obliged to scour the country, but the retailers think this town is enough for them. I think any man that would spend a thousand, or five thousand next season out in the country, would get his money back with usury. Isn't it so, Derby?" "It is, indeed. There is an opening for some lively men to run an advertising agency for Tetre Haute, and spread itsrinterests before every man and womarf within a hundred miles. They could do it in a dozen ways, and bring people here in crowds, with a little backing. What is being done on a small scale by

OR«

house could be done on a much larger by a number combined." "You are too sauguine," remarked the Major. "Your scheme would take more money than can be raised here. We must walk before we can run we are doing very well as it is. If it pays men to come here, they'll come. They know enough to send their corn to Fairbanks and Hudnut,and will come hereto buy if they want to." "Mighly interesting," said Miss Laura, stiffing a yawn. "Delightful to know that corn will bring folks here, and that whisky and hominy make us great! What will you do when your old distilleries are shut up?" "That will never be," replied McEwan, "We have different races of men •here from those in Maine and Kansas. Too many Irish and Germans and Britons to carry prohibition." "More's the pity," said the Professor. "Maybe you are right, but I am only •speaking of what will be, not what ought to be. Germans who are not Lutheran or Methodist will vote the Democratic ticket this Fall see if they don't. "You must remember, too, thatthiscountry is not all New England yet and when Mac would have stopped there is

The Major irritated Mac with'm standard joke: "You see, Mac, the crowning mercy of a Republican administration. Seventy-five to a hundred millions of dollars is a fair estimate of the money to be paid the Indiana farm§# for this year's crops. Who will feefi grumbling about anything next The 'ics* will stay in, and yoa 'ouU' 7jiil stay out.'*

LITTLE SERMONS.

Patience obtains everything. Don't try to please everybody. Politeness is a Christian virtue. Keep your temper underlockandkey. Small minds take offence at trifles. That piety is best which wears longest. We need patience with ourselves as well as with others.

Peace is to be found in every path in life if it is sought for. One who is disposed to be fretful will always find plenty to fret about.

A great deal of happiness depends on the good use of time. Those who undertake too much rarely accomplish anything.

Contentment is asortof spice that seasons every lot in life. Prejudice ami narrow-mindedness is but a thin covering for ignorance.

It is impossible to find out how much religion a man has in his heart by measuring the length of his tongue.

These are good rules:—Do not all that you can do spend not all that you have believe not all that you hear tell not all that you know.

Scandal, when it has truth in it, is like a grease spot on new cloth but when there is no truth in it, it is like a splash of mud which will come off easily-

It is always easier to pay an undeserved compliment to a rich man than to. be commonly courteous to a poor man. Human nature is thus proven to be not entirely a success.

"Miss G«UN»Y," the well-known Washington correspondent, records the following important item of information

Those clerks and ushers who have been on duty several years at the White House mention that more ladies go to see the present President than used to call on his married predecessors, and that they usually seem to have dressed especially for the occasion and are observed to blush consciously when they go into his presence.

PARASOL TACTICS.

Ladies select with care the color of the lining of their parasols so as form an effective background when the fair one lays it«are'eKsly(?) over her shoulder. A correspondent, who has delved into the mysteries of the subject, writes that if chosen wisely, the lining brings out all the points, not only of the complex ion, but of tbeiiairand eyes. Brunettes are best suited with a shrimp pink, and blondes with a Nile green. Much thought is required to decide which color will do for always when the lady is flushed, when she is pale, etc. All sorts of odd bandies are used for parasols They are of cherry, ash, or twisted willow, in simple crutch or straight-stick fashion. Thoee of whangee-wood are coiled fo form true-love knots. Some have a champagne-cork for a tip. There are unique boxwood handles, that have knobs formed of the liana-root in its natural shape. A large ribbon-bow must be fastened to all handles just above where the hand grasps the stick.

HOUSES AND HOMES. There is a certain feeling of quiet and rest enjoyed in some homos that is never dreamed of in others. It is to such a home the tired man hastens when the labors of tho day are over, foeling that he can have peace and rest when he gets there, and it is only there where the children grow up to know the truth of the saying that "there's no place like home." It is not easy to say just what constitutes the delightful atmosphere that makes a home something different from a house. One thing is certain, it is never found where business, fault findingand over-anxiety prevail. Overworked mothers, always at their wits' ends to get through what they have to accomplish, often find themselves so worn out and nervous that it is impossible for them to meet patiently the little difficulties of the day, and by degrees their tempers become ruffled by the merest trifles.

A husband who comes home tired out with business carps or exhausting labors, and finds bis wife in this snappish mood cannot consider his home a very inviting place to rest in, and the majority of men, under the circumstances, seek refuge in other quarters in which to spend their evenings. And how can children, who are continually blamed, grow npto be home-lovers?" They are only too glad to escape from the grim atmosphere of the bouse they live in, to eujov the dangerous fun and frolic of the "public streets. Human beings naturally cling to what pleases them, and if we would have onr home a place to love, it must be made pleasant. Houses never become homes unless peace and quiet are found within them. Home should be a place of rest and peaceful enjoyments, a place where let what will go wrong elsewhere, one can count on receiving sympathy and love. This should never be lost sight of by those wbo are placed at the b«id of a housebold. Whether they happen to be struggling against poverty, or striving to increase their wealth whether the bouse they lived in be a cabin or a castle, they should always remember that the value of a home can never be computed in dollars and cents. Luxury does not always bring bappineas, nor does poverty always shut it out. Once let a habitation be made home-like and happy, and it will beloved and clung to by the members tits circle, and the very remembrance of it will be like a blessing to the end of life.

Thirteenth Year

ABOUT WOMEN.

Conspicuous ear-rings and necklaces are avoided by young ladies now. A female burglar was killed at Madisouville, Texas, while trying to rob the postoftice.

A California woman, whq confessed toher husband on her dj'ing bed that sheloved another, was forgiven. Then she got well, and he is now suing for a divorce. She pleads that he condoned the offense, and he answers that it was only on condition of her dying, and she broke the contract.

A woman entered a railroad car at Blooinington, 111., carrying a big basket. The conductor told her that it must go among the baggage. She replied that if he took it away sho would hold him strictly accountable for the contents. When he found that it held triplet babies only a month old, he ceased objection.

The new Summer gait is called thokangaroo glide, and can he ]erformed by bending tho upper portion of the body at an angle of twenty degrees, poking the elbows into the air on either side,, and letting the hands Hop around like the tins of a sea lion. The steps should be long and even, and the chin slightly elevated. It is graceful for all, but peculiarly adapted to fat girls.

A handy new garment for travel in-sloeping-cars is a very thin but all-en-veloping cloak, buttoning up from chin to toes. When ready to retire for the night the woman puts it on, and then undresses under it, safe from thoso prying eyes which abound in sleeping-cars, and which curtains cannot effectually shut out. Sho uses it for a night-gown,, too, and in tho morning, dresses herself safely beneath its kindly folds.

What are the women of the land coming to? A few days ago was chronicled the elopement and marriage of a New England "sweet girl graduate" with her father's coachman—a not over-fastidious colored man. And now Mrs. Steerly, of Ann Arbor, Mich., a bride of three weeks, has leen arrested at that State, in company with named Dixon, with whom oloj)ed. The unsentimental joined thorn together in a way they despised, conveying them back to Ann Arbor handcuffed to each other.

Jackson,, a negro she hiul of Accra

A MainOvpaper relates that a maiden lady now residing in the town of Lyman, that state, at tho ago of US yeafrj, was iu her youth engaged to bo married to a rospectable young man, and was making her wedding dress. Her father, enteringlho room, forbade the marriage. Sho answered "Well, father, then you must maintain mo as long as I live." Sho stuck her needle into the unfinished dross, arose and put it into tho drawer, and there it has remained until the present'time—soventy-tivo years. IIow long the father survived such troatment is not told.

The wifo of a prominent New York politician, "who began lifo at a hotel, but not as a guest," invited a young man to go shopping with her for a camel's hair shawl. He contrived to inform an acquaintance in tho shawl department of a largo establishment, that if he wantod to sell her a shawl he must put up the price. Receiving permission from his employer to keep all he could get above $050, ho, with much fear and trembling, asked her $7."0. "Is that the best you nave?" "The very losst." She turned away and said she was sorry, because she liked the pattern. On telling her husband of her luck, he informed her that Alderman 's wifo got a 91,000 shawl at another establishment, and advisod her to go there. She did so, and found there salesman who had more "gall" than the other feliow. no asked her #950. She said thete waw one for $750 at 's st«re, but it wasn't good enough. She liked the pattern. Reflecting a moment, the clerk told her that they had one left, but it had been ordered sent to Mrs. Vanderbilt. If it bad not gone, she should have it forflOO more than Mrs. Vanderbilt was willing to pay for it. The clerk sent over to the other store for the shawl she bad refused the day before. She Raid it was Very much like the pattern of the one she liked, but anyone could see that it was far superior. The salesman, saying sbeevidently knew a camel's hair shawl when she saw one, charged her $1,000, and made the other salesman in ad as a hatter by telling him of his good luck and bow he struck it "rifh."

A LUCKY FATHER. Texas Hlftlng*.

An Austin father complained bitterlv of the way his children destroyed their clothing. He said, "When I was a boy I only bad one suit of clothes and I had to take care of it. I was only allowed one pair of shoes a year in those days." There was a pause and then the oldest boy spoke up and said "I say, dad, you have a much easier time of it now—you are living with us."
