TERRE HAUTE, AUG. 11, 1888

ARK we to have any more summer this oammer? Question.

AFTZB the customary amount of lying •bout the peach crop, it is now announced that the yield will be greater than ever before, and that 5,000,000 baskets ^wHU be shipped from Delaware alone.

WE grew disgusted with our late legislature, but when we read that the recent session of the Massachusetts legislature lasted twenty-bine weeks and cost her $400,000, we realize that there are yet a few things for which to return thanks.

EDITOR HENDERSON, of the Peori* Call, is preparing to get himself in a peck o' trouble through the medium of a baby show. He has offered several substantial prizes for the prettiest babies, aad it is to be presumed that he has fortified himself from probable attacks by the irate mothers of unsuccessful competitors for the prizes.

THAT the new South is on a broad highway leading down to wealth and prosperity is no better proven than by a comparison of her present standing with that of thirty years ago. At that time the total value of her crops, inoluding cotton, was $138,605,728, while the reports of the census for 1880 show the crop value to be 1760,000,000, fully one-third of this being the value of cotton.

WE'VE had suicides by hanging, by drowning, shooting, and in almostevery imaginable form, but the most novel plan yet discovered was that practiced by a victim of unrequited love in North Carolina, who swallowed a paper ol pins. -One thing is certain, no woman will ever suffer death by swallowing pins. She is too well versed in the art of carrying them iu her moutb to swallow them.

THK telegraph operators appear to have played their last card and it was •not a winning one. They either overestimated their own strength or underrated that of the enemy. Jay Qould is for the time being ahead, but the strike may .yet result in the construction of new telegraph lines which will hurt the Western Union far more than granting tbe demands of the operators would have done.

A VERACIOUS correspondent, as, indeed, are all correspondents, has discovered a spring in Egypt, Illinois, the waters of which are quite intoxicating, making one's head feel for a few minutes as though he had taken a regular orthodox drink. It is estimated that had this announcement been made before last Monday, that not one-third of a full vote would have been polled in Kentucky.

THERE has been something of an epidemic of commercial failures in tbe East since the great leather house of the Shaw Brothers went down. Several have been of considerable importance and the aggregate of liabilities counts up into the millions. Most of these failures appear to have been due to overreaching efforts to oontrol more business than the respective firms could legitimately handle. In other words, the expenses of their business were too large in proportion to the income.

THAT peculiar outgrowth of intellectual Boatou, Mr. Slugger Sullivan, after knocking out the Maori Slade, of whom so much has been written, has settled down as the proprietor pt« drinking saloon in Boston. His opening on Tuesday night was attended by over 15,000 people. If the Slugger makes a half way decent saloon keeper, he will be a hundred per cent, above his condition as the hero of the prim ring, and if he keeps on In this work of advancement may yet prove a first class citizsu.

ON September 7th, the great Northern Pacific Railroad will be completed and formally opened through from Duluth to the Pacific coast. This great enterprise, instead of proving to be a road into* barren wilderness, as was predicted by many, has opened up for settlement, mllllous of at res of the finest farming land in the work), and towns and cities are springing up ss if by magic all long its route. The vast region through which it passes contains some of tbe grandest scenery in the world. It is safe to say that the Northern Pacific will be one of the greatest trunk lines on the continent.

THE Western Union is likely to experience further difficulty from the strike. In the way of legal action. Under tbe revised statntes of New York a telegraph company ts liable to the extent of 9100 for every dispatch refused, and a number of suits have been brought under this provision. The company made an effort to dismiss one of these cases, but he court in over-ruling tbe motion to dismiss remarked that it was a case of great public importance, and should not be dl«poMd of thus* summarily. The public which has been in sympathy with the strikers, will not be displeased if the giant monopoly should lose sevessl of these cases, though the ebanoos aie that an advance of rates would make the same public pay the suite.

MAIE

THE GOOD OF NOVELS. In his bright, vivacious lecture on "The Novels We Read," Prof. Swing makes a strong plea for more liberality and greater breadth in intellectual life. Speaking of the prevailing narrowness he says: "The merchant at the age of forty has become a yardstick, tbe doctor at the age of forty-five has quit the church he doesn't read he has narrowed the world all down to where he can cover it all with his saddle-bags. Tbe clergyman is even worse. He starts out with the intention of never being broad, and at the age of fifty he is narrower than he ever hoped to be. He preaches the same old sermons, in the same old way, and loses what little liberality of thought he ever had. The lawyer is no better. At the age of fortyfive be has forgotten the English language be don't speak of mea and women —he calls them 'parties.'"

In the reading xf good novels he finds an antidote for this narrowness, this fanaticism to a single thing. No person, be declares, should read novels too much, bat all should read them some, and especially shonld those read them who do not want to.

There is troth in Prof. Swing's position. There is too much narrowness, and we need an antidote for it. In too many cases, the heart, the imagination, dries up as the person grows older. The fine aspirations of yonth evaporate as the years go by. All sentiment dries up and ia blown to the winds. We become mere machines to do a stipulated amount of work of a given kind, and in acertain time. Let such a person take up a good novel and he finds within its pages a broader and fresher life. He Is at once transported into the realms of beauty and imagination, as connected with and growing ont of the human life. It is the practical, everyday life which is around him, but it is seen through a lens which reveals the imaginative side of it.

It is a recreation and a benefit thus to get away from the one dull, prosaic phase of living. The world is not filled with beauty in order that we may not see and enjoy it. It is not lighted up with sentiment and imagination for us to close our minds and hearts against all such Influences. Mr. Swing is right when he says that those have most need of novels who do not wish to read them. They are so much absorbed in one thing, their lives are so narrowed down to one circumscribed limit of thought, that they have lost all taste and desire for anything else. Such especially need the change, the reliei which a good novel will afford them, and would receive a tonic influence from a healthful reading of them. _________

So great is the boom for President Arthur (or was a week ago) that the Inter Ocean gushingly remarked that if the nomination were to be made this summer, Mr. Arthur would undoubtedly be nominated by acclamation. It admits, however, that the developments of a year may make a obange, and that it is too early yet to forecast the sction of the convention. We cannot agree with the Inter Ocean that the plan of sending out requests to the prominent men of tbe oountry for an expression of their views as to Mr. Arthur's administration was likely to evoke a fair expression of public sentiment. Thus csiled upon to speak, the persons addressed could neither afford to be silent nor to say uncomplimentary things, even if they felt like doing so. As a matter of fact, Mr. Arthur's administration has been a good one, but compulsory panegyric of it by men selected and specially requested to speak, is but feeble proof that the Republican party of the nation would, even at the present time, place tbe president at the head of tbe ticket for another term. The Arthur boom has been started too soon, and will hardly be able to weather successfully a year of public canvassing before the nomination is made. The strong probabilities are tbe man is as likely to be "old Tecnmseh" Sherman as anyone. With him at the head of its ticket the Republicans conld duplicate the enthuaiaam of the log cabin campaign of 1840.

COMPARING American with European scener, the London Telegraph says: "The Hudson may carelessly challenge comparison with the Rhine and the Rhone and the mountainous districts of New England no less than the slopes of tbe Alleghanies,abound in spots of transcendent beauty. The smaller lakes of western New York and of Canada can not be surpassed in softness, and over the whole of the broad surface stretching from the Arctic to tbe Aotartic pole, the sunsets are so glorious and clothed with such an exquisitely delicate coloring, that it takes long experience to appreciate them thoroughly." This is very well as far as it goes, but why does tbe writer omit reference to the grandest scenery on the entire continent—tbe mountains, canons and geysers of the Pacific slope, and the wonders of the Yosemite? What can the old world show that is equal to these?

PROF. HouoH.of the Chicago University,says the popular idea that sun spots have any Influence on the weather or in producing cyclones or other meteorological disturbances, is entirely without foundation. These spots, some of which are from 75,000 to 150,000 miles in diameter, are merely holes or rents in tbe sun's photosphere which Is a gaseous envelope surrounding the son and is from 300 to 600 miles thtek. Prof. Hough argues that if tbe spots on the ann had any influence on tbe earth they would affect tbe earth as an entirety and not in limited areas only. Bat how tbey could have any effect upon the earth at all is something which the astronomical mind cannot conceive.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MALL

THE notorious "Buck" Stout, who murdered Taylor Dunbar in November last, was executed at Rockville last Wednesday. He maintained his spirit of indifference and bravado to the last, aleeping well the night before and eating a hearty breakfast. He awaited his doom upon the scaffold without perceptible nervousness. He was a desperate character and there was no doubt ss to his guilt. Although there have been some twenty trials for murder in Parke county this was tbe second execution that ever occurred in the county.

IT now looks as if the demand of the striking telegraph operators that their brethren in the employ of the railroad companies should join in the strike, was a practical failure. The railroad operators were called out at noon on Monday last, but failed to respond to any considerable extent. Very few left their keys, the number being so small that the railroads were not inoonvenienced thereby. Indeed, the companies say that if all the operators in their service should strike it would not seriously cripple them, as they could run their trains on schedule time, as they used to before the telegraph servioe was adopted. It begins to look as if Jay Gould was too strong for the Brotherhood of Telegraphers, much as the fact is to be regretted.

A NEW ORLEANS editor has been appointed manager of the World's Cotton Centennial Exposition, which opens at New Orleans in December, 1864, and he accepted the position with a generosity characteristic of the newspaper fraternity. He had twice declined the appointment, although tendered a salary of 920,000. He, however, finally deferred to the wishes of the public, but upon his suggestion the salary was reduced to 910,000 a year. In accepting the appointment he subscribed the amount of his salary to the stock Of the Exposition, and gave his stock to the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Louisiana. It would hpve been just like an editor to have coolly donated a couple of hundred thousand to tbe Exposition, and no doubt when the returns are all in this will be found to be the case.

ON Thursday afternoon a run was made on the First National Bank of Indianapolis which developed the fact that the bank had not sufficient currency in its vaults to meet tbe demands of depositors. Quite a flurry in financial circles followed, the embarrassment exteading to the Indiana Banking Company, which owns a large part of the stock of the First National. Neither bank opened its doors tbe next morning and there was a large and excited crowd of depositors in front of each. It is said the First National is solvent and will pay all it owes in full. The outlook for the other bank is more doubtful. The statement that large sums have been withdrawn recently from the Indianapolis banks to make good heavy losses on Chicago margins appears to be corroborated, but it is not believed that any of the other banks of tbe city will be affected.

THE September Century will contain an article by W. C. Conan which will undertake to prove that within the next oentury the population of New York will exceed that of London, and that New York will be the metropolis of tbe civilized world, the center of finance, commerce, luxury, fashion, art and literature.^ There is nothing incredible in this prediction when one considers tbe wonderful growth of New York during the last quarter of a century and tbe marvelous accumulation of wealth which has taken plaoe there. It is "manifest destiny" that the future commercial metropolis of the world will be in the United States somewhere and it seems hardly possible that any other American, city should hereafter be able to wrest the supremacy from tbe great dty of the East. Chicago, by reason of her more central location, might come nearer to it than any other.

RAGS take on a new Interest and dignity in the face of the statement that Egypt has some six or eight thousand tons shipped and ready for shipment. Some are from the cholera infected regions and the important question is, what shall be done with this vast mass of filthy rags which are destined to this and other parts of the world? Shall they be permitted to carry the pestilence on their westward journey, sowing its seeds broadcast over the world Their importation may be forbidden, but suppose they are kept in hiding until the ban is removed and then sent on their journey tbey will carry the pest just as surely. Tbe nations of the western world ought to unite together in the purchase of all of Egypt's rag product for several years to come and burn them in a continuous bonfire. Tbe cost would be bat a mere trifle while the danger ef an epidemic of cholera would be vastly diminished. We dont like tbe idea of having Egypt's old rags shipped into this country anyway. Tbey are liable to bring every sort of infetjtious disease with them, vile diseases which are born of the filth of oriential life and are unknown to the cleanlier conditions of the a estci ii nations. And all for tbe sake of a lot of dirty old rags! Let tbe Egyptians keep their rags at home. We can do without them. Better pay a little more for our paper If necessary than to have such contagion-breeding staff brought into oar midst. Congress, immediately upon assembling, should enact a law prohibiting tbe importation of rags into this country for all time to come, and particularly Egyptian rags, and oriental rags generally.

THE average citizen would think that a place liable at any moment to be convulsed by an earthquake, would not be a popular place for residence, but such does not seem to be the case. Commenting on the recent terrible convulsion in the islaud of Ischia the Philadelphia Ledger says: "The strangest part of the history of these places, subject to frequent convulsions of nature, is that instead of being deserted, they are quickly repopulated, and the people soon learn to go about the ordinary affairs of life as though they wefre not living and working on the thin crust covering a great abyss, whose mighty forces might at any moment again break the seal that confines them. Over and over again have the people fled from Vesuvius, only to crowd back again upon its sides as soon as the local danger had passed away." Doubtless it is true that the occasional visitor in these uncertain regions feels far more apprehension of being swallowed up by an ill-timed earthquake than those who live constantly on the ground, as a certain confidence or foolbardiness is gained by long association with danger. .^

TWO TYPES OF MEN

EPISODES OF LIFE AT A FASHIONABLE WATERING PLACE. y,.

A young, beautiful and attractive married woman, sojourning at a fashionable watering place, met two gentlemen with whom she was much impressed. She says: "Two ot tbe most interesting episodes of my life have happened within a week, and are valuable as explifications of human character and tbe satire of fate and position. I have met two mea here who have made an equally deep,yet far different, impression. The first was met under a strange netting of circumstances, and I thought no more of interest in connection with him than I should with the porter who conveyed my baggage to my rooms. But you could no more be in the society of that man, without recognizing his superiority of spirit and mind, than you could place a flower under the suu's rays and not expect to see it expand. He was well versed in all the social amenities, an erudite scholar, a brilliant conversationalist, bad met all the great men of our day, had read all the great ones of earlier eras, full of wit and anecdote, inate deference to women and respect for her mental culture, he was at onoe the most elegant man I have ever known. Several occasions threw us into conversation, and on each of these he grew more and more interesting, always preserving perfect courtesy, never bordering on familiarity. Our lines of talk touched every topic that an intellectual mind can conceive. I can never forget him. I shall always respect him. He Is a professional ga'mbler—a dealer of ivory cnips in a casino. "The other approached me under the

{ermed

uetence of tender solicitude for what he my peculiarly trying position. He offered to be of servioe to me in any way I might see flt to command. He soon drifted into flattery of my personal charms, and, in an insidious voice, talked of the magnetic influence 1 bad exerted over bim through tbe distance of the vast dining saloon. He evidently regretted the practices of free love were not laws of our civilization, and is firm in the belief that they will be in heaven. I suppose anywhere tbey were not a code would not be heaven to him. He took the usual course which every man and woman understand. He asked to be received in my private apartments, desired me to meet him in tbe summer house at 9 p. m., and invited me to drive. As his carriage only seated two, and I never drove alone, I was obliged to offer my regrets. I was ill with the humiliation of a first bold offense. He is tbe father of afamilyof daughters as old as myself the immaculate shepherd of a spotless fold a shining-robed prophet, guiding tbe footsteps of the children of Israel an eminent Fifth avenue clergyman."

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE. The novel reader of the period readily can understand why some young people seek all sorts of odd places in which to get married. One ingenious writer of fiction places his hero and heroine in an old tower and lets them make love to their hearts' content another scatters four Romeos amofig four Juliets in an unlighted dungeon of a castle in Spain, while a third cast bis moats interesting characters upon a raft at sea, that they may take the bitter with the sweet of their courtship with no one to molest them. It is no wonder that some susceptible lads and lasses pet to be sentimental in practice, ana, to come to tbe Doint of this paragraph, it is not unreaS3nable that Mis^Wiley and Mr. Bair should have decided to have their nuptial ceremony performed in the

at

Ocean City. These lovers, both of whom hail from St. Louis, made up tbeir minds that they would be married thus, and so on Thursday they marched into tbe sea together, standing in water to the depth of the bride's shoulder. The bathers had withdrawn, and tbe bridal party had the beach to themselves. A few friends stood at the edge of,tbe white sand when theclergyman stepped In and did his best to tie a knot in Jack Tar style. The sky was bright, the breeze was grateful, and the waves were just frisky enough to lend zest to this undertaking. Indeed, the whole occasion was pleasant, and nothing marred it, save when Neptune, seeking to kiss tbe bride, ducked ber in as bouncing a billow as ever buffet**) a mermaid. Perhaps tbe bride shed a tear at the thought that she never would have a real rich wedding gown to stow away in camphor, but if so, the pearly drop must have been counterbalanced by tbe laugh that came away up from ber father's boots when he reflected that he would have no milliner's bills to pay.

A NEW BANG.

"What is the shingled bang?" asked a Philadelphia reporter. "The pbingled bang is simply a man's hair cut. We be begin at tbe forehead, and, raising the hair on on our fingers, cot right straight back to the part between tbe front and back hair, which is Jast at tbe ears. We graduate the length as we cut back, leaving it longest at the forehead. The bair thus removed is from six to twenty-four inches in lentb." "What makes it so fashionable V' was asked. "Well, it's cooler a good deal, for one thing, and it saves an immense amount of trouble jast balf the work of hairdressing. Ladies only have to «do' tbeir back bair now, and so they dont swallow but balf the number of hair-pins tbey used to and so have twice the number of boot and glove button-hooks. There are only half tbe number of breakfasts and dinners kept waiting and only balf as much masculine profanity as there used to be. Tbe shingled bang is an evangelizing influence."

CABLE MESSAGES.

An old operator thus tells how cable messages are received "I don't sappose you know bow tbe messages are received over tbe cables No. Well it is altogether different from this tick, tick, tick. Tbe operators there sit in dark rooms. The messages come as little electric sparks tbe letters are known by tbe length of tbe flash. These men go blind at the end of fifteen years and are pensioned in England, bat nothing is done for them here. Tbey are not even p*id any better than we are." 'f
