TKRRE HAUTE, NOV. 17,

HAS it come to this, that ladies cannot tie distinguished from street walkers?

NBVBR cut through an alley when you are late for a train, or the police will run you in on suspicion.

IT is an unequal division of the spoils to give the mini-tier from $2 to #50 for tying the connubial knot and 925 to

$500

to the lawyer for cutting it asunder.

A MAN in Muncrfe, this state%fterhaving two wives for a number of years, concluded the easiest way out of the difficulty was to go crazy, which he did.

A MAN has just died in New York and left 910,000,000 to a cousin who can neUbor read or write. But why should be, when be can afford to hire somebody to do it for him?

M. GBEVY has formally apologized to King Alfonso for the recent insult of the latter while in Paris, and it is to be hoped the two countries will continue to live in peace.

ALGRBNON SWINBUKNK, the poet, is coming to this country. Introduce him to Ella Wheeler. They will find an affinity in comparing their "kiss her with a shudder and groan" poetry

WASHINGTON ought to be a good location for an honest pension claim agent. At the rate the authorities have been disbarring the swindlers there recently, the ranks must be pretty well thinned. ,_t

AT a recent wedding iu New York tfie bride received six diamond bracelets and four diamond necklaces and yet, poor thing, she has only two arms and one neck and cannot wear them ail at once.

AN Indianapolis divine is preaching on the "Power Latent in Young Men.' We know a great many young men with that kind of power and nothing but some undiscovered motor will ever develop it. _______________

THBRB are 4,000 unemployed clergy men in the Episcopal church and 874 Oougregationai churches without a pastor. Now, if these two denomlnalions could overcome afslight difference of opinion, 874 starving churches and preachers might be filled.

THBRB is said to be only one 4 5} authentic portrait of the Savior in existence and that is in: the Vatican at

Rome. It is only a question of time till some enterprising Yankee gets hold of it, strikes off a chromo and offers it as a premium for some religious newspaper.

BBN BUTLER is industriously nursing his presidential boom, and gives the figares to show that he is the only man the Democrats can think of running withauy chaceof success. Poor old Ben must have not only one, but a whole •est of Presidential bees in his bonnet. Bat they will all be out in 1884. if A -Wt-

JAMBS WHITOOMB RILBY, the Hoosier poet, (that is one ot them, for we have several) has gone east on a lecturing tour which includes a long list of appointments in Ohio, Pensylvania and other eastern states. Mr. Riley's talents and patient industry are steadily pushing him to the front as an entertaining lecturer. ^=ssb==s

ON the authority of a Democratic congressman of high standing in his party, Mr. Tilden Is said to be so decrepit that he baa to be fed with a spoon like a baby and that he is in such a state of senility that he takes no Interest in politics, businesa or anything else. Curious, is It not, how the views of politicians differ about .• Mr. TIMen.

Mr. Seedier thinks the defeat of Maynard in New York wilt have a tendency to force prohibition into the presidential election. On the theory that Majnard was defeated because he waa a temperance man the Moods of the Unnparanoa movement will fed move than evar tbe ooemUy ot nrganliint and puahlng their reform afgresalvely. a—

PBOF. PROCTOR, by the most careful mathematical calculations, estimates that there may be 2,598,960 different hands in draw poker, and we know twenty-five men right here in town who are trying their level best to prove it.

A NICB little boy returning home from Sunday school last Sunday was run over by a horse and buggy and seriously injured, while the wicked little wretch who went fishing received no injury except a licking from his father.

WHBN Watts first wrote and published his immortal hymns he was attacked on every side, accused of blasphemy and charged with attempting to rival the psalmist. But Watts has triumphed and the psalmist has no call for a new edition. And the day has not yet passed when every innovation in religion is not hailed by the name of blasphemy.

THE latest craze in St, Louis is a roll-er-coaster. It consists of a circular track covering a square of ground and having an inclination of thirty feet. The young people seat themselves on a sort of ben$ and away they go, the momentum bringing them back to the starting point. The young men have to bug their girls all the way to keep them from foiling, and it is the hugging that makes 'he amusement so popular.

A DISTINGUISHED Frenchman has been investigating the causes of baldness and has decided that much of it is caused by dandruff. He has further convinced himself that dandruff may be carried by brushes and combs and that this accounts for the fact that baldness is so much more common among men than among women, as the former use the combs and brushes at the barber shop. This relieves the men of the charge of early piety.

SOME of the papers are attacking the 'society notes" that are becoming so common and they question whether a lady of delicaoy will not feel offended at seeing herself described as lovely,chsrming, graceful, accomplished, etc. Some of them undoubtedly do,but the majority are delighted at the reporter's acuteqess in discovering these very qualities which they, themselves, ba,ve long been conscious of possessing, bat the world had never discovered.

THH Indianapolis Journal says there would be a fair prospect of getting the Republican National convention in that dty if there was a hall large enough for the purpose, and recommends the building of a "wigwam" on the vacant space north of the court bouse, which it thinks could be done for $5,000. As Indiana has never had a national convention of either party within her borders it would be an Interesting thing to have one, and we hope ariangemente may be made which will result in the selection of Indianapolis for one or the other of the great conventions of next year.

IT la said that Anna Dickinson will henceforth star in Anna Boleyn, a wonderfully strong pley. It seems strange that, with so many grand female characters as the play-writers have given us, Miss Dickinson should Insist upon personating one of that sex which she baa never too much admired. And when a woman can so charm the world by the foroe of her Intellect, aa this one has done, it seems degrading that she should oondesoend to win applause by displaying her anatomy. By all means let us have Miss Dickinson in a representation oftbat sex which she has always adorned.

DURING the past week we have had a touch of genuine winter weather. True, the thermometer did not get quite down to zero, nor has the ground been bidden under a mantle of snow, but coming with the suddennese of an April shower, oongealiugunprotected pumpaand fleecing the ground aoHd, it has been wintry enough for all' practical purposes for Tfcnto-thahkagivlng weather. The fact is tbeai feat "cold snaps" of the aeason, these tentative polls ot old boreaa from hia poplar cave, are pretty nearly the trying and disagieeable of the whole winter, because they generally catch na unprepared for them. The golden, aunahining days of October and Novean^er run on and on, broken only now and then by a day or two of min or doudy weather, after which the sunshine bnrata forth agaia, so theoonvicHon grown on ua that we are to tpi« a mild, open winter, and the Anal preparation* for oold weather are postponed from day to day until finally the blast which sends the msrcorv sinking towards aero, reminds na In away not to be doubted that it ia time to get teaa baraeaaupand make the domestic ship snog for the coming storm. Then everybody wants everything done at once, and the stove men And OMmadves overwhelmed with orders sufficient to tax tbe facilities of a Krupp gun factory. To return to| tbe present polar wave it to probable that it will be of abprt duration and we may yet have a fortnight of delightful Indian sommer weather before winter seta in in earnest.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT.

To FEW men is it given to accomplish the great work and win the great fame that fell to the lot of Martin Luther.

SATURDAY last witnessed the laying of the last stone in the walls of the great Mormon temple at Salt Lake, which is now ready to receive the roof. The walls are eighty feet high and ten feet thick at the bottom and six at the top. Tbe battlements are to be carried up twelve feet higher. The building ha» been in course of construction for twen-ty-eight years, and has cost $4,600,000. It is expected that it will be completed in about six years more. Except tbe capitol at Washington it will be the finest building in tbe United States. Such a costly and magnificent edifice, erected on the shores of Salt Lake, in what was notlongago regarded as a desert country, by a limited religious sect, is one of (he wonders of modern civilization. Certainly there is nothing so curious and remarkable in all modern history as this thing of Mormonism with its beastly polygamous attachment. But it halt seen its best days, and will have t4*go j| at least polygamy will. The enlightened intellect and awakened conscience of these times will not tolerate tbe disgraceful institution much longer. Temple or no temple polygamous Mormonism must go.

AN effort is to be made to get the next Republican National Convention held at Indianapolis. One of tbe arguments used will be that Indiana is one of the doubtful states and that the effect of holding tbe National Convention in the state will be to materialy aid the party in carrying it. The principal objection probably be that Indianapolis is not big enough to hold a National Convention In and that its hotel accommodations would be found wholly inadequate to to such an occasion. But then 11 holding the convention there would really improve the prospects of Republican sucoesstbe statesman, big and little, might afford to put up with some hotel Inconveniences for two or three daya. The selection of a place for the convention will be made at the. meeting of tbe national committee in Washington on the 12th of next month.

MB. BLAINE is reported to be looking many years younger dnoe hia retirement from the cares and anxieties of public life. Ca ia seldom out of bed later than 10:80 p. M. and riaee before dgbt in tbe morning. He works at hia book until one o'clock and devotee the teat of the day and evening to current reading and aocial diversion. Mr. Blaine haa found, like everyone alae who haa tried it, that regular habita and plenty of good, sound sleep are the best prescription for health and youth.

hundred years ago the value of his work er will receive libera! by leaving it the Eris more fully appreciated to-day than at change or Bronson House. any time since he lived. The celebration of the four hundredth anniversary of his birth encircled the whole earth, and was heartily engaged in by all christian nations of his work, the principles of the great reformation which changed the whole face of Europe, were weighed aud con-sidered-in thousands of churches, and listened to by hundreds of thousands of people. And certainly when we consider the times in which he lived, the horrible corruption of the Cstholic church and its almost omnipotent power over the people and the nations, we must accord to Luther a wonderful courage in daring to rise up in singlebanded combat against it. But his was the courage born of conviction that he wa* in the right, and upon men and women of deep and intense natures who thus teel,the fear of death or of personal harm has but small influence. Willingly they will lay down their lives for the sake of the cause they have at heart and so Luther would have done before be would have yielded one iota of the truth as he saw and felt it. As it was he rose up against the church of Rome and hurled defiance iu the teeth of the pope himself, because he believed that he was right, and knew that the pope was wrong. And the undaunted, heroic s&u> soon gained recruits fjom the common people. From his prison in Wartburg he flung out to them the bible in their own mother's tongue,' and when they read it they were on the reformers side, It was no longer one man against the eburch of Rome but a whole nation. The pope was worsted in the combat.
