TKRRE HAUTE, JAN. 20,1883

THE Kansas legislature is considering proposition to repeal tbe prohibitory law.

THK Democratic legislature will submit the amendments—and^dpn't you for Ret it.

THB Quincy House, one of the largest hotels in Quincy, Ills., was burned yesterday morning. No lives lost.

THIS locality seems to be slipping below the ice belt. Our ice men have to go north for their summer stock.

WE are having an eyidemic of hotel burnings. If you must travel it in safer to go as a tramp and lodge in the station house.

THE Chicago idea was illustrated yesterday when a Chicago jury awarded one Weber one cent damages for the seduc tion of his wife by Colonel H. Abner Taylor. _______

AT St. Louis last Sunday morning at four o'clock there came near being are petition of the Milwaukee horror, in tbe bn rning of the Planters' Hotel. Fortunately tbe lire was confined

IT looks as if the present Legislature in'ended to go very slow in the matter oi editing down official fees. The com niittee appointed to consider the question has not yet even had a meeting. It i« subject that tbe people are interested in more than almost any other.

ON last Monday petitions signed by £,000 temperance people, representing eighty-five counties of the State, were presented to tbe Legislature. The prayer of the petitioners is for the submission of tbe prohibitory amendment to a vote of the people. The Legislature will hardly decide to ignore this request.

-irLY 1st, 1883, has been fixed as the lima for the reduced postage rate from three to two cents to go into effect, 'fnere seems to be little doubt that tbe bi!l will become a law. The opposition to it is on the ground that the reduction -will cause a large deficit in the receipts of tbe postofflce department, but this feur is probably not well grounded. It is altogether likely that tbe increased volume of bflsiness will more than make np for the loss.

IT turns out that Miss Garrison, tbe fit Louis belle, recently reported to have beoH abducted by some ruffians, and

ransom for her restoration, is in fact somewhat off her mental balance, and not ulways responsible for her actions,

HORROR upon horror is added to the Milwaukee hotel fire, in the arrest of Oeorge Scheller, lessee of tbe bar-room of the Newball House, on charge of setting it on fire. It is sincerely to be hoped that further investigations may dispel the horrible suspicion that he fired the building with intent. Such an idoa is too horrible for humanity and ought not to l)o entertained without the clearest evidence, [jet us not, if it can possibly be avoided, be reduced to the necessity of bolipvlng that devils and fieuds walk the earth iu the form and semblance of men. Well might Scheller cxclaim that he "would rather drop dead than be accused of such a crime."

A kkk and salary bill lias at length been introduced in the Legislature which itis&ftid, will m*ke sweeping reductions

BRAIN VS. MUSCLE.

In his snnnal report of Harvard college, President Eliot, tries to dispel the popular idea that those students who excel in athletic sports are correspondingly deficient in scholarship. He says that of the 84

men who belonged

to the University Crew, the base ball nine or the football eleven, from 1873 to 1884, more than one-fourth stood above the middle of their respective classes, while the whole number ranked at 72 in a schedule where the highest rank was 100. This is certainly not a bad showing for the young men with base ball proclivities. The truth is there is much more danger of harm in the direction of excessive study than in that Gf excessive physical exercise, as it is much easier in after life to develop a mind^which has been allowed to lie fallowed at college, than to repair a body that has been allowed to go to wreck by lack of fresh air and active exercise. In this, as in every other age, the most successful careers in .life are won by the men who have strong arms and sound bodies. down in the fight before the ass "who stands six feet in lovely flesh."

HON. SCHUYLER COLFAX predicts a season of stagnation and financial stringency next fall, giving feur reasons for his belief: "The change in the balance of trade, which is now against us the low prices we are getting for our crops, the extravagance of the people last year, and the very extensive building of railroads." The latter calls for the investment of large amounts of capital which return no immediate income. The New York Tribune, however think these fears are at least premature, and urges that the sharp warnings of danger which the banks and business men bave had will cause them to take precautions against being drawn into dangerous speculations, and that the speculative fever has about reached tbe stage at which the professional gamblers are left amuse themselves with each other. The Tribune also thinks that the failure of a score or two of speculators would be anything but a disaster to the country the banks and the public would let them alone. In yiew of tbe almost extraordinary crops of tbe past few years there would certainly seem to be little real cause for apprehending a financial

WHAT the country needs is not so much more laws on the subject of fire escapes in hotels aa tbe enforcement of tbe laws we have. In this State there is a law which imposes, or would if it were enforced, a fine of from $5 to $50 a day for failure to provide suitablo fire escapes, and to cause notices of the location and manner of using the same to bo posted in the room of each guest. The trouble is, the law is a dead letter, there being not the loast effort made to enforce it. Nothing is better settled than that laws will not enforce themselves. Without a proper public sentiment behind them, they merely encumber tbe statute books. __________

ANOTHER Napoleon has turned up in France. Princa.Jerome thought ho saw that everything was going wrong in France and issued a manifesto the other day which he had posted throughout Pari?, calling attention to the incapacity of the present government and suggesting measures of reform. The Prince was arrested aud confined but the leading papers treated the proclamation with ridicule and the public feeling was one of amusement and indifference. Evidently France has made large progress under her short reign of Republicanism and the age of Napoleons is forever past. The Princecan be let o«t of his prison as a harmless lunatic, whose most serious efforts can only cause a ripple of amusement in the public mind. The France of to-day is very different from the France of a hundred, or eveu of twenty-five years ago. The great leaders go down now but others take their places and the Republic still lives. It does not at all require great men to uphold a republican form of government, but only that the mass of the people shall heartily support it, and this is the condition which Franco appears to be "coming to. It was a mistake even to arrest the to Prince, and the wisest course would be turnhlm loose at once.

THE suggestion made by one of the poultry journals that eggs should be sold by weight instead of by number is a sensible one. Tbore is no good reason why small eggs should be worth as much in the market as those twice their slito and weight, and as long as the present method prevails there will be little

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL

THK Democratic members of the legislature have nominated Miss Lizzie Callis, of tbe Martinsville Gazette, for State Librarian, W. D. Hunter, of Dearborn, and Dr. H. V*Norrell, of Greene, for directors of the prison south and George Major, of Benton, Henry Manning, of Allen, and John C. Shoemaker, of Marion, for directors of the prison south. The result is complimentary to the profession of journalism, two out of the six successful candidates being members pf the press. Of the twelve contestants for thelibrarianahip all were ladies but one, and this tough-skinned male aspirant received but two votes! He should hide his diminished head in shame. Who will new deny that the women are making headway? Until a few years ago such a thing as a lady filling the office of State Librarian was never dreamed of.

Now that the Democratic majority in the Legislature has settled tbe important and exciting question as to whether John Fishback, or some other Democrat, shall have control of the benevolent in-

profit to the people, come to an end. So far as heard from this seems to have been the most important matter

This condition of suffering spsedly gave place to a grateful warmth, which seemed to suffuse the system and cause an exhilarating glow. He was driving and by this time had reached a house, but he went on thinking that nothing was now t~ be feared. The sleigh appeared to him to glide through tbe air with great swiftness, and the horses flew like birds. A sense of exaltation filled him, and he urged the beasts to greater speed.

THE Planters' Hotel at St. Louis, which narrowly escaped destruction by fire last Sunday morning, is one of the oldest hotels in the country. It has always been a favorite of Southern people. Before the war Jit was the largest and finest hotel in the West or South, and bad a reputation that was as wide as the Union. It is referred to in Dickens' "American notes" and other foreign publications. As its name indicates, it was the headquarters for planters who resorted to St. Louis for the purpose of buying supplies, niggers, or having a

LETTER TO A BRIDEGROOM. Dr. James C. Jackson. To become a husband is as serious a matter to a man as it is for a woman to become a wife. Marriage is HO ohild's play it brings added care, trial, perplexity, vexation,and it requires agreat deal of the happiness which spring out of it to make

Very few people live that tilled Fourth street from curb to happily in marria curb Hot secession speeches in 186061 were hurled over that railing, and were answered by enthusiastic yelis from the half mad populace. Since 1841, in which year it was opened, the Planters' House has been a favorite with the ultra Southern element. Near its southeast corner, in 1859 or 1860, a negro murderer was chained to a large locust tree tod burned to death by a mob. The tree was afterward sold iu small pieces for souvonirs- throughout Massachusetts. The Planters' is still the headquarters of the Missouri Democracy, though of late years it finds a powerful rival in that way in the Laclede. Senator Vest always stops at the Southern, and there is a tradition that his room is never rented to any one during his absence. Senator Cnckrell always goes to the Planters'. Ex-Senator D. H. Armstrong has occupied one suite of rooms there since the house was opened in 1841. The style of people who stop at tbe Planters' may be imagined from the fact that the head porter is a capitalist, and owns houses aud bank stock, but still he charges a dime for a "shine," And pockets a quarter or half with as much satisfaction as his poorer brethren. The hotel rarely changes officeis or ser-

happily in marriage, and yet this is not because unhappiuess is german to the relation, but because those who enter it da not know, and, second, how to live married happily. You have already made vour choice—wisely, I am bound to believe. ThoSe qualities of character which have attracted you to chose as you have should make your love grow daily while you live together.

As to the second point. If you wish to live in harmonious union with your wife start out with the avowed recognition of the fact that she is your companion and copartner. Marriage usually makes the wife neither of these. In many instances she sees less of her nusband than before she married him. He comes, he goes, he reads, thinks, works, and under the stimulus of business brings all his powers and faculties to tbe surface, and developed thereby—not always symmetrically, but vigorously—not always harmoniously, but with increasing p«wor. Married men do not usually shrivel up nor put on a look of premature age, but women frequently do, and it is plain to me why they do

Married women are shut up in houses, and their chief care is for things that have no inspiring influence. Their time is taken up in meeting the physical wants of their families—cooking, washing dishes, keeping tho house in order, sewing, receiving company—not one of which has in it a tendency oven to culture and elevation. Married women are devoted to the house, and this means a life of vexation and pettiness. It gives tho sort of stimulus to the spirit. So the husband, who is out of doors, active, interested in measures which affect the public good, coming into contact with men greater thau himself, who inspire him to better purposes and nobler ends or labor, develops iuto manly beauty and grows in character, while his wife at home, who has as faithfully performed her share of tho work, withers and decays prematurely,
