TERRE HAUTE, OCT. 21, 1882

WHEN yon go to an editor's sanctum to demand a retraction, it ia well, in view of the recent tragedies in Washington and St. Louis, to "hold up yonr hands."

THE Republican defeat in Ohio can not be imputed to absenteeism, it would seem, as the vote cast was a little larger than last year. Perhaps, though it was only Republicans who were absent.

THE electric light has been tried In passenger cars on the Pennsylvania railroad, and is said to give good satisfac tion. The incandescent lamps used do not flicker at the fastest motion of the train. ___________

popularity of American cheese

in England is disturbing the cheeesa producers of that country, and they are trying to write it down, as they usually do anything American, by pronouncing it inferior in quality and flavor to the English mako. The cheesd eaters will probably decide as

THE signal service bureau proposes to increase tbo scopo of its work by a system of frost warnings, by which notice of frosts likoly to occur in particular noctlonn of tho country, will be given as far in advance as thoy can be with/easonnble safety, and furnished the press for publication. These reports aro likely to prove of great value to agriculturists apd fruit growers.

THR latest information obtaiued by tho Agilcultural JJureau at\Vashington indicates Unit the yoar's wheat crop will not exceed 520,000,000 bushels. £he six great winter wheat growing states, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, and Kansas,, snpply noarly one half tho onUro crop. The average yield has been about fourteon bushels to the acre—an unnsually large yield.

HOWKI.L'S new novel "A Modern Instance," is pronounced tho greatest of his work?. An Indiana divorce figures in It and tho degrading features of loono ptHctlces in the manner of obtaining divorces are vividly set forth.*- Mr. Howell should have gone a lUtle further than Indiana, however, for his model divorce court, or indeed might have stayed nearer homo. Now England is looser, in tho matter of divorces now than Indiana.

TnsnK was a singular celebjjitloi\at Woodbrldge, Conn., a few weeks agA It was i« honor of what is believed to be the oldest oak tree in tbo United States, and which issnpposed to bo from 1,000 to 1,800 years old. Its circumference at the b.t*« is thirty feet and and notwithstanding its ago it is still full of vigor. On the day referred to the old monarch of the forest was covered with flags and flowers and presented a gay aspect. Steps will be taken to preserve the tree for many years to come.

Coi.. llrDt.KY, Commissioner of Pensions, has received remarkable letter from Corporal Lewis W. Ayers, ol Clifford. Pa. Mr. Ayers writes that hedoes not think any soldier Is honestly entitled to a pension who Is able to work and provide a living for himself and family, and as he Is able to do this, although suffering from disability contracted in the service, he asks that his name be stricken from the pension roll. If a greater number of pensioners w?reas conscientious as Corporal Ayeia, the government would be in pocket many millions of dollars.

THE ST. LOUIS TRAGEDY.

In St. Lonis, on Friday evening of last week, John M. Cockerill, managing editor of the

Post-Dispatch,shot

and in

stantly killed CoL N. W. Slayback, a prominent lawyer of the city. The trouble grew out of a personal quarrel between the Post-Dispatch and Mr. Broadbead who was Slayback's law partner. Broadhead

a candidate for Con

gress and the paper was making a bitter fight? on him. Slayback and Cockerill met ata club»room and had a conference in a side room, and apparently an understanding to preserve friendly relations, but in public speech the next night Slayback attacked the paper bitterly and the latter returned the

fire

by publishing

an abusive card about Slayback, which had been suppressed by the proprietor of the paper some time before. Slayback went to the office with a friend, and found Cockerill seated before his desk with a revolver lying in front of him. What his purpose was is not clear, the fact as to his having or drawing a revolver being in dispute. Cockerill claims that Slayback deliberately aimed his jacked revolver at him, a»d that to preserve bis own life he had shot his antagonist. Thp affair created a great sensa 'tion. in the city, the unfortunate man having many friends and admirers, and much bitterness is felt toward the Post Dispatch. The deceased leaves a wife and six children, and was forty-four years old. The Post-Dispatch belongs to what is knowu as the personal.scbool of journalism—the kind of newspapers which feed the public on sensations scandals and personal abuse. While Cockerill may have shot, believing that bis life was in danger, he was not justi lied in going the length he did in bring ingon the attack.

A MOST remarkable shooting affray occurred 4n KnoxvlHe, Tennessee, day b«fo eynlcrday. It appears that an old g^udgo exist :d t^twc ?n General Joseph Mabry and Major^Thomas O'Connor, and ibe mattar boing" prcyipltatcd by a collision at the ra« os the day previous, Mabry sent O'Connor woid that he wmle kill him on sight. Both men, of course, went armed, and as Mabry passed down the street after dinner O'Connor stoppd out of Ms bank on the opposite side and deliberately shot bim deid. Ho had just time to eei*e another weapon as Mabry's son fired upon him at a dis.ance ot Unity yards. Tlje ball parsed through O'Connor's heart, but not before O'Connor bad pulled his lugger, sending a falal shot into the younger Mabry's Hly. Toth men fell dead. The Mabrys some time siui shot and killed Yusby and his son. It*must l»o a singular state of society -which tolerate deliberate homicides like these. O'Connor is said to have been worth $10,000,000, all of which he ,niijde since the war.

CIIWHNATI has now a guarauty fund of |*»5,000 for the dramatic festival to be held in tbe great music ball next*April and which is now pronounced an assured event. The actors will consist of an aggregation ot a number of the first dramatic combinatfons engaged enUie, so as to form a grand constellation of stars. The stage 90 by 125 feet, is the largest in the United States and will furnish aboundant room for successfully handling the large number of people engaged. If carried out as planned it will doubUeas be the most splendid dramatic event that has ever been wituessed in thlscountry.

MALARIA IS NEW ENGLAND.

The idea that the West alone is the land of "shakes" has become antiquated. A few days ago it was announced that not a district in Italy but was affected by malaria, (and that Eucalyptus trees were being planted as an antidote for the poison. In New England also there has been quite a prevalence of malaria diseases within tbe past few years in certain sections, particularly along tbe Connecticut and Housatonic rivere Various explanations have been given of the phenomena, all of tbem more or less unsatisfactory, unless it be that the dams of certain manufacturing companies, by backing the water over an expanse of low, flat country, alternately t-ov ring and leaving it bare. A suit has besn brought against one of these companies to determine the question of its liability for the sickness so supposed to bo caused. For sixty years previous to 1S77 there had not been a case of fever or ague in the neighborhood, bnt in tbat yearjthere were tines or four cases of malaria fever, which increased to over 70 in 1878, to over SO in 1879, 140 in 1880, upwards of 200 in 1881 and 250inlS82, showing a steady and rapid increase in malarial disorders. This would seem to make a pretty strong case against the manufacturing company.

MOST

people will concur in the sonti-

mont expressed by Ihe Chicago Inte Ocean, when it says that this countiy has too much politics to the square mMe, and that tbe sliinging out of elections worn June to November is a nuisance. It certainly is, and it is much to be regretted that a more systematic method cannot be adopted so as to bring all the genera! elections upon one day. Indiana did a good ibing when she changed her election day from October to November, and if a'I Llie other Ociobsr Slates would follow suit, the nuisance would be appreciably abated at ieast. The tvuth is, the fcoUe- c'-iss of business men are conceiving a growing d'^dst for polities as now conducts .1, with its innumerable ings. cibJs and coi rupt combinations, aud are happy iu inverse ratio to tbe amount they have of it.

Tho pop of a pistol disturbed the congregation iu a church at Gloucester, Mass. Little Johuny Dow had brought tils father's revolver as a plaything with which to while away tbe long hour cf worship.

A Kansas City man struck by lightning but recovering eventually, dead ibes tbe sensation as a sudden heat like a breath from a furnace door, followed by a tingling over his entire body, his arms aud legs feeling exactly as if tbey had suddenly "gone to sleep," a sensation that continued for a long time after all other bad effecta.bad passed away.

An art class of young women at Faribault, Minn., induced a man to let them experiment on him for a plaster cast. After they bad covered his facethe quills slippod from his nostails, and he was so nearly suffocated to death that a physician with difliculty revived him. They forgot to oil tbp skin, too, and tbe plaster stuck fast, damaging him to an extent that necessitated bis stay for a week in a hospital.

A Minnesota editor, in referring to a wedding, remarked "Ijet hope and happiness ever rest in those young hearts who walk forth with the mofniugstar of promisie glittering on their brow, with each morning'sdawn springing np anew, filling their lives with diamond joy dust, which may Moat and sparkle, enveloping their homes in gems jeweled in perpetual sunbeams of joy, beauty and peace." Tbat edit|g "ta«ke| the cake."

Tbe Kansas City Journal, speaking of western brides, says: "Tbe average bride of tbe present day regime walks confidently into the hotel alitlleahead of her husband, picks up the bill of fare with a Mate air and orders her dinner as if she were a matron of several years'standing. Vanished are those days when the while poke aad soft lace veil blJ tue blushes and when she sought beneath the protecting arm of her liege lord*refuge from the stare of the inquisitive.
