TKRRE' HAUTE, MAR. 15, 1884

THJI St. Louis Kindergartens have •bout nine thousand pupils with nearly a hundred teachers. There is an increasing demand all over the country for the establishment of these charming "childgardens."

Rosa COGHLAN, speaking of married actresses, thinks it impossible for them to do their duty to their husband and manager at the same time. Certainly. If no man can serve two masters, neither can any woman stand it to be bossed aronnd by two managers.

MRS. D. M. JOBDAN, the Richmond poetess, telis a story of a widower who handed her bank bill with the request that she should write "fire dollars wuth of vanes on the old woman, and be sure to git in what a good husband I've ben!" He probably wanted it as a sort of recommendation to enable him to get another "old woman."

V*

THE temperance excitement*!! still on the increase at Riobmond, Ind. The strong Quaker element of that city gives the movement substantial, backing.' "it is said a number of the reformed drunkards are so enthusiastic they tie the red ribbon on their dogs. This is probably a slander as no dog ever had an app&tite so depraved as to drink whisky, and therefore need reforming.

MATTHEW ARNOLD has at length sailed for Europe aad now perhaps the papers will give us a rest in regard to the "apostle of sweetness and light." The "apostle's" pocket may have been "light" when he came over, but they were heavy when he went back, and the chief "sweetness" connected with his visit was the "taffy" ladled out by his obsequious admirers.

THB custom of carrying about and petting dogs is still kept up among a few weak minded females and a customary criticism is that these puppies receive the love and caresses the ladies own children are entitled to. This is probably a mistake. It is only women that cannot or do not have children that lavish their affeotion on dogs. One who has ever known a mother's love will not permit a poodle to take the place that belongs to her child.

WOULDN'T it be well enough for the Washington correspondent to let up on the Postmaster General and the Circuit Judgeship? One day it is that Judge Oresham is sure of the place when Judge Drummond retires, which will be soon and the next day it is that Gr^sham doesn't want the place and that Drummond is not likely to retire for months yet. The oountry is not dying fa£ this kind of information. In fact it can wait until Mr. Drummond actually retiree -without bursting with curiosity to know •who his successor will be.

A SENSATIONAL paragraph Is going the rounds about a woman in Detroit who made avow many years ago that she would never look upon the face of a man, and therefore she sleeps all day and goes out after midnight to make her purchases. The question is, what kind of purchases does she make, for there is nothing open at that hour of night exoept the saloons. Does she live on liquor alone, and who sells it to her? There are certainly no women tending bar at that time, and since she has made avow never to look upon the face of a man, of whom does she make her purchases? It will strike the average reader that this story lacks consistency.

GEN. GRANT'S condition is said to be really serious. One who saw him recently reports that he was much surprised at the broken condition of the General who looks, he said, like one whose days are pretty nearly numbered. This will be sad news, for there is probably not a man, woman or child in all the land who would not wish to see General Grant live to a green old age. Whatever bitterness or sectional animosity may onoe have existed against him has passed away and he is now regarded from all sides and by all classes as the Nation's greatest soldier and the one who has shed more military luster on his country than any man since Washington.

MR. HENRY IRVING,theEnglish actor, takes away from this country $200,003 as his share of the profits ol bis late tour, after dividing handsomely with bis manager, Mr. Abbey. He is so well pleased with the result that he promises to come back next year and try it again, when he will btt bis own manager and reap the entire golden harvest himself. But it may not be quite so golden next year. Thousands of people who went to see him out of curiosity this winter will not ears to repeat the experiment next winter at $5 a pair of ticket*. While not a prodigy as an actor, Mr. Irving is a master of stage mounting and management, and pats his plays on the stage munificently. He also carries an exceUeht company of players with him and gives a most enjoyable and artistic performance. If be will make his prices reasonable next winter, he can again play to crowii-- ln'u*«s all over the United States, but at «.• SO seat,— hardly.

IN a thoughtful editorial on the political situation the Chicago Inter Ocean gives figures showing how very close the next national election is going to ^e The Republicans are conceded 154 of (he electoral votes and the Democrats 155. Then there are six doubtful States to draw from, viz New York, Ohio, Indiana, New Jersey, California and Nevada, which cast in all 94 of the 4Q1 electoral votes. The probabilities are that New Jersey with her nine will go Democratic, and California with her eight, Republican. If this should be the result the two parties would aland a tie, each having 162 votes. Of the remaining seventy-seven doubtful votes New York will cast thirty-six, giving whichever party may win that golden prtae 198 votes, or within three of a majority. Any one of the three remaining States, Ohio, Indiana, or even Nevada, would then complete the majority. As against this the party losing New York might still win, but only by oarrying all of the other three States. The strong proba£ billties are, therefore, that New York will prove to be-the controlling State and both parties will be governed in their selection of candidates by the desire to nominate a ticket which will sweep the Empire State. This fact will be somewhat against Mr. McDonald, who would nut be specially strong in that State. He would not be as strong as Payne, of Ohio, or the old ticket of Tilden and Hendricks. Among Republicans, Mr. Arthur's friends claim that he would have exceptional strength in New York, but as there is a strong element in the party in that State who are opposed to him, such can hardly be the case. The same objection exists as to Mr. Blaine, and unless Gen. Sherman should be selected, there are good reasons why the head of the ticket should come from the West.. In sach an event Indiana would stand a fair chance of furnishing the candidate.

J. W. RILEY has written a poem for the Indianapolis Journal and dedicated it to "A y.oung lady of Terre Haute." He declares that her face and brow are lovelier than the lilies: "That smile as they are smiling now-

White lilies in a pallid swoon." In regard to the "oral chin' it as having

he describes

"One exquisite dimple, swirled swimming light led

With swimming light and shade, and whirThe daintiest vortex poets knew— The sweetest whirlpool ever twirled

By Cupid's finger tip—and so The deadliest maelstrom in the world." A regular swimming pool, so to speak: but the dimple is shallow compared to some other features, for "O, bewilderment gone mad .# W

If we have In this corporation a young lady with a dimple like a deadly maelstorm, and rainbow colored eyes that look like blown out stars, we insist upon her full address, name, street, number of house and the size of the shoes she wears.

THE temperance question is now before the New York Legislature in the the shape oft high-license bill and the editor of Harpers Weekly strongly urges its adoption. The support of the bill, he declares, comes from the great body of temperance people, the moral intelligence of the community. The writer says: "The object is to regulate the traffic In intoxicating drinks by the most practicable and effective means, as they have been proved by actual trials, and It would be unfortunate if the bill should be defeated by those who, while earnestly desiring to stay the ravages of intemperance, allow no distinction between moderation and excess.

To many thoughtful persons this is just the mistake which the rohibitiou ists make. They demand all or nothing total prohibition of the manufacture and sale of liquor, orelse free whisky. They are not willing to progress little by little, and step by step, but demand that the whole reform shall come bodily and at once. Whether or not this is the wisest course to pursue is a debatable question and there is a wide diversity of opinion upon it.

THERE are two very good answers to the argument of the free traders that wages of American working men are correspondingly no higher than those paid in England, when it is considered that the same amount of money will buy so much more in England that it will in this country. Our answer to this is that American travelers in England notice that the working men and their families are not so well housed, clothed and fed, and do not live as well generally, as our working class do. The other answer is that if the laboring classes could live as well or better in England than they can in the United States, they would net pour into this country in a ceaseless tide of emigration, as they are and have been doing for years. There is a reason for their coming. If it is not that they can live better here then what is the reason Will the free-trader be kind enough to explain?

Gus. C. MATTHEWS has a naost readable article in the last number of the Current, on the use and abuse of the woid "Alleged," by the modern reporter. In conclusion be says:

The older the reporter, the morfc lie has learned that no man is to be absolutely believed, and the more bis "copy" becomes sprinkled with"Alleged." Thiscarefnl practice enables him to sleep well o* nights, for he know* that heis preserved from the wrath of man by an impenetrable «egte.

A DECLARATION is going the rounds of the papers that all American humorists have invalid wives. This statement is about as reliable as most of the drift that goes floating along the current of the press, but if therdfis any foundation for it, let a relief fund be started for the wives of humorists. No wonder they are weak, prostrated, reduced in health. The public can take 'this humor in broken doses or, by shrewd management, escape it entirely, but the poor, helpless wives must breakfast, dine and sup on their husband's humor. Perhaps it is first tried on them as an expert, ment then it is written and read to them for approval: and then it is launched on the pubUc, andjw the exhausted wife feels Ilkr ^^yQppon the shore, she sees herfc, I *^g,"th6 papers as "the insE£ic&fO^| ^"Itliher husband's genius." *No wander our humorists have invalid wives. We often find ourselves very weak after reading some of their latest efforts.

A YOUNG gentleman from, Germany, travelling in this country and visiting in Philadelphia, tells a remarkable story. Returning home at half past three Sunday morning, after a convivial night with his friends, where all w«ere considerably exhiliarated he was stopped in front of the church of the Holy Trinity by a female highway woman who held a pistol at his head and relieved him of his valuables. Before com men ting upon this new phase of woman's rights, it is appropriate to inquire how much confidence should be placed in the statement of a young man going home at 3.30 A. X. after asocial night with bis friends.

"OLD TKCTJMP" is not declining the nomination for President anymore. He is as mum as an oyster on the subject, which means, it is said, that he is no longer averse to being struck by the Presidential electricity. He gets a bushel of letters every day complimentary of his candidacy, but files them away unanswered. It is understood in St. Louis, where he lives, that he would run If nominated. Not that he has said so to anyone, but his silence of late is oonstrued to mean that be would.' He has a strong following in Indiana and would make a popular candidate here.

THE Saturday Evening Call, of F&oria, S. R. Henderson's paper, commences this week the publication of a new serial story by J. T. Trowbridge, author of "Cudjo's Cave," "The Three Scouts," "Jack Haeard and His Fortunes," "The Young Surveyor," and various other well-known series. It is entitled "Far nell's Folly," Ward Farnell being a pompous and hypocritical old merchant who, in the first chapter, has^ust failed in business, and his "Folly" the gorgeous new residence be was engaged in bailding at the time of thV failure.' The story will run several months, and it is not to be issued in bqpk form till after the presidential campaign trover. In view of the roller-skiting rage prevail ing everywhere now, it may be that some readers of The Mail will be interested in learning that the Oiil gives a pair of roller skates to every person who sends in a new subscriber.

Gen. Gordon, the commander of the English forces in Egyyt, thus expresses his views as to a future: "I think that this life is only one of a series of lives, which our incarnated part han lived. I have little doubt of our having preexisted and that also in the time of our preexistence we were actively employed. So, therefore, I believe in our active employment In a future life, and like the thought. We. shall, I think, be more perfect in a future life, and, indeed, go on toward perfection, but never attain it."

A wrestling match between a woman and man is described by the San Francisco journals. The woman was less than 19. The encounter, which lasted five or six minutes, was a confused struggle, the wrestlers hugging, grappling, and tumbling about in every conceivable posture, and this was varied occasionally by the girl being thrown to the ground and almost literally biting the dust. It is admitted that the male wrestler did his best not to hurt his fair antagonist, and in the end she came off victorious, as had no doubt been arranged beforehand. Yet, in order to keep up the delusion, the woman got considerably hurt.

CRURCH MUSIC.

The Independent speaking on this subject, just now receiving so much attention, says:

The methods may be various, but the end to be reached is simple. It is not to fill the church with the melody of one or four fine voices, backed up by the voluminous variety of the organ. It is not to have a perfect thing in saered song which can De listened to with delight. It is not to please people of taste or without it, nor to sing the gospel into them, nor to draw them to church, and not even to do a thing in song as well as can be done. The thing to be done is to praise God in song. The soug must be right enough to carry the worship of the congregation on it, and strong enough to sustain it, and lift it up to God. It muKt have life enough in it to raise of itself, that we may raise with it. It must realize Wagner's theory of corresponding words and tunes so that tbe two can not be torn apart, but each be worthy of the other and both worthy of the sanctuary aud worship of God. For such purposes, individualism is hateful impertinence. One perfect voice that won't blend and extinguish itself in the whole is as bad as a soldier who won't march in the ranks. Nothing should obtrude itself nor come out into distinct and separate attention. Tbe matter in hand is worship and not perfeet song, nor anything to be listened to on its own account. Wagner's analysis is the most illuminatingexposition to apply to the subject. The convenience of the place has something to do with it. The words and tbe music make a whole together. They must be adapted to the occasion and the subject. The words should have a perfection of their own, but it is the perfection of adaption. Tho music should be the perfect vehicle of the emotion and the thought, sweet, dignified, easily sung, without painful effort or disagreeable and therefore distracting tones, and such that tbe singer can throw his emotion, his thought, his sentiment, in short, the very contents of his glowing faith, into i^

THE DANGER IN NARCOTICS. An old physician observes: "A great danger in using narcotic drugs arise from the fact that their practical strength —their strength of operation—ia not and can never be positively known. You may take a doee of chloral to-nigbt and obtain a heavy sleep the same dose tomorrow night might put an end to your existence. Tbe real strength of a drug often depends as much upon tbe condition it finds yon in as upon its own potencsy."

FIGURES WON'T LIE. Tbe figures showing tbe enormous yearly Hues of Kidney-Wort, demonstrate its value as a medicine beyond dispute. It is a purely vegetable compound of certain roots, leaves and berries known to have special -value in Kidney troubles. Combined with these are remedies acting directly on the Liver aud Bowels, It is because of this combined action that Kidney-Wort baa proven such an unequalled remedy in all diseases of these organs.

FANCY WORK.

THE SMALL VICE OF THE FEMALE SEX.

|CHK* Archard makes in the New York World a sweeping onslaught on fancy work. In the course of her article she says:

Fancy work is the small vice of the female sex. It is to women what smoking is to men. In some respeots it is worse indeed, for man can read or write and smoke at the same time. Fancy work, on the contrary, is so absorbing as an intellectual exercise that it is not possible for a woman to make the Kensington stitch and do anything else, unless it be to gossip.

In brief, we arraign female fancy work as a waster cf time, destroyer of eyesight and health, a deadener to all noble am bitions, and a promoter of scandal besides. We shall prove it.

Fancy work is an uncanny thing. There is

some

strange fascination in this

miserable darning and knitting that blinds their eyes to the nobler achievements that lie all about theoo. In sum* mer hotels and winter hotels groups of fair young matrons sit, hour after hour, with their bright eyes bent over some queer, fazsy-looklng. contemptible little stuff, as though the salvation of the world depended on banding the equator with a girdle of knotted fringe before to-morrow morning. Now they cover ghostly pillow-shams with weird ehain stitch. Now it i3 a ric-rac, and again it is crazy-quilts. At this point it msy be remarked that of all contrivances that are ugly enough to scorch one's eyeballs tbe crazy-quilt goes up head. Anou the fancy-work madness arlves them to tbe production of tapestry pictures that make your bair stand on end.

Or maybe it is "darned net." This Is the head-fiend of fancy work. It is safe to say that on tbe average darned net drives one thousand American women a day to premature spectaoles. "Pretty Yes, It ought to be pretty. It ne»rly put my eyes out."

She had made her little daughter a robe of this demonlsh, woman-killing fabric. Her eyes were red aud swollen, her nerves were all unstrung so that she kept springing like a jumping-jack at every little

Bound.

She bad got herself

in such a state over the pesky stuff that she hadn't slept for two nights. "I'm just ready to cry 1" she said. No wonder. The time and labor she had spent on that execrable gown would have made her an accomplished student in microscopy, and not hurt her eyes either. Then she would have made a peep into the fairy land of science, and at least learned enough to make her a charming aud entertaining companion for a month. And a month is a long time when !t comes to entertaining anybody, especially one's husband.

We arraign fancy work because it dwarfs women's intellects. It gives them just occupation enough to make them believe they are doing something. They sit and moon over their one, two, three cross-stitch till the practical interests of life fade from their mental horizon. They are the true hasheesh eaters. Fanoy work is a genuine deadening drug, cheating ladies Into a fool' paradise.

While they delude themselves with thinking they are at work they are doing absolutely nothing at all that is woorth while. It is worse than nothing. It ought to be relegated wholly to very aged women, so old that they have lost all interest in adtive affairs, and have nothing to do but snooze through the days like placid old tabbies. "Aw—American women don't get outdoors enough to give them a decent complexion, you know," says the Englishman.

Young man, what are you living for Have you an object dear to you as life,, and without the attainment of which you feel that your life would have been a wide, shoreless waste, peopled by the specters of dead ambition? You can take your choice in tbe great battle of life, whether you bristle up and win a deathless name or be satisfied with scabs and mediocritv. Many of those who now stand at the bead bf the nation as statesmen and logicians were once unknown, unhonorea and unsung.

MARRIED LIFE WASTEFUL::S NESS. "House Talker," in Peoria, Call. At least half the poverty in the country is the result of wastefulness—what "Miss Ophelia" pertinently called shiftlessness. The young machinist, or laborer, marries a pretty, fresh-cheekeqi girl with bewildering dimples and teeth like pearls. Although not tidy in all the details of her dress, the joung woman is attractive, and seems healthy so the young man asks nothing more. She has no money and their preparations for housekeeping are few and simple. They marry and "settle down" in two rooms —a kitchen that also serves for a diningroom, and a bed-room that is also the parlor. They make no pretensions to taste, but in its clean newness their small home is by no means a cheerless, uncomfortable place.

But in a little while it becomes evident that the new wife, who had been an operative in a mill, or a clerk in a fifthrate shop, has not been trained to the business of housekeeping, a business that requires shrewdness, skill and forethought. The simple trosaeau she has been "able to purchase becomes shabby, as clothes are oound to do. She knows nothing about cutting, fitting, or sewing, or at least so little that her efforts in that direction are bungling and unsatis factory. The wages of the husband, sufficitmt to support one person in ordinary comfort, must be judiciously managed to meet tbe doubled expense incurred in taking unto himself a wife. Wbile bread, and fuel, and rent may be paid for, hiring sewing done is out of the question. So the poor, ignorant wife gets a set of patterns and goes to work. Yards of good material are wasted, because Rhe does not understand how to economize in the very first principle, of cutting out—utilizing scraps, folding! a straight width diagonally ana getting' two gores where only one seems possible. Then, when the garments, misshapen and ugly,are ready for the needle the stitching is so badly done that seams burst, hems come out, buttons fly off, and button-hQles burst. After a few weeks' wearing it is ready for tbe ragbag. A well-made calico dress should lalt. with care, four or five years.

The condition of the two young people grows more hopeiess as the family increases. In a few years the wife has lost every trace of her comeliness. She may be seen standing stupidly in the front door, her sleeves rolled up, her arms akimoo, her dress gaping at the neck, with no collar on, and ner frowsy hair twisted in a knot, the ends dangling like a besom. Thechildren, ragged, unkempt, rioting in the gutter or in the yard, will follow in her footsteps, unless they be rescued by those who will teach them to help themselves. The change in the husband is almost as marked. He has lost hope and heart. It become harder and harder to satisfy the demands of mouths that must be fed and bodies that must be clothed, His face assumes a stolid, vacant expression, and be haunts the beer-saloon, trying to forms prosf the stupor of intoxication.

get tbe hopelessness of nis prospect in

Perhaps, on tbe other hand, tbe wife may have learned to sew, ana, having earned a living by her needle, does not know how to economize in the kitchen. She mixes too much dough, and doesn't know how to utilize the scraps, serving them in a dozen dainty and appetizing ways. Water is poured upen ice, oatmeal and potatoes left in the vesseld in which they were cooked. Enough is thrown away in a month to, keep a French family half a year.

These are the things that keep people poor, that make them look fortyard with dread to sickness or accident, that prevent their having homes of their
