TBRRE HAUTE, JAN. 17 1886.

SENATOR EDMONDS' bill to pat Gen. Grant on the retired list ought to go through both houses, as it. probably will, without oprosition.

TIMBS must indeed be bard when a book agent cannot make a living. Last Saturday a canvasser called on the coroner of Quincy, Ills., and notified him that he wonld give him a job. The •est day the book agent was found dead in the river. ^*ABOUT the maddest people on earth juat now, reside within the corporate limits of Evansville. The commissioner from this State to the World's Fair at

New Orleans has distributed 25,000 maps I* of Indiana purporting to show the railroad system of the State, and Evansville has no place in this new outline of nee Hosierdom.

NOTICE is given that the inauguration of Mr. Cleveland is to wit|j i)tt8 the finest display ever seen j|| upon a similar occasion, and that mall Republican inaugurations are to be eclipsed. Is this in keeping with the simplicity and economy which we have been led to expect from a Democratic administration

THE passage of the Reagan inter-State commerce bill by the House, indicates a disposition on the part of Congress to legislate on a railroad question at this session. The Senate has«a bill of its own which it prefers to consider before taking up the House bill. The result will probably bo that some features of both bills will be incorporated into a law upon this important subject.

BOTH the Senate and House of the Legislature have propositions on foot far investigating the condition of State Treasurer .Cooper's office. The matter is one that has been talked about a good deal and a thorough investigation ought to be made. It is the general belief that the Treasurer is loaning the funds of the State without authority of law, as his predecessors have done before him. The amount is very large and and the practice ought to be stopped before the State beoomes a heavy loser.

THE announcement that Gov. Porter will undertake the task of writing a history of Indiana has been received with much satisfaction. A good history of the State itt greatly needed, and if the governor writes one it will be good, for he never does anything by halves, and would be especially concerned to give his best effort to a work from which so much would be expeated. It is to be hoped that with the leisure that will couie with his retirement from publife life, Mr. Porter will carry his intention of writing a history of the State into effect. He may rest assured that his book will receive a hearty welcome

AFTER all perhaps Gen. Grant will not have to go into the show business, as suggested by P. T. Barnum. The great showman's offer was generous, 9100,000 cash and a share in the profits, but it would be a shabby spectacle for a nation like this to see its most famous soldier reduced to the neoessity of exhibiting his war trophies over the country in order to keep out of the poor house. But he will not have to do this. The Senate has passed Mr. Edmunds' bill to put the Geueral on the retired list. All the Republican and quite a number of the Demotratlc Senators voted for it. It will no doubt pass the House and become a law.

IT is said the widow of Mark Hopkins, the millionaire, will build a five million dollar residenceBomewherein New England, including the cost of be ground. She is a great fool if she does, as she will tind out when she gets to living it it. The mania for palatial houses has cost many a man and woman heavily not only in money, but in the loss of comfort and the wear and tear incident to carrying such an establishment on. A house with enough room to accomodate all the members of tho family and an extra chamuer or two for guests is the m~Rt sensible and comfortable, the kind in which the greatest amount of real happiness is generally found.

THE Atlanta Constitution declares that there is nothing substantial in this age of speculation but farming and even that is not substantial if the farmer speculates. It says there may be more luxury and pretension in the city, but there is is no real independence away from the farm, and declares that if the farmer's house has been what it should be his boys will make haste to leave the city and got back to the independence of the farm. That Is probably true. The trouble is, however, that their homes axe not what tbey ought to be. They are too .dry and dull. Thsreis toogrea* ad a th of recreation and amusement of every sort. There is too much work and too little play. The farmer boys come to

Abe city and are overcome by its gajety and splendor. The music, the brightD«M, the general animation and movement attract an.l fascinate them. There la recreation and amusement here. Men and women work, and work bard, but

o. .a*

It

they rest too. There are concerts, plays, parties. The farmer boy feels that he has got into a new world and he does not like to go back to the dull and cheerless home on the farm. And yet the farm home can be made bright and cheerful too. It need not lack amusements. There can bo picnics .in the summer and parties in the winter There can be music, reading in all its many forms, a variety of parlor entertainments. Pleasant companies can be made np to visit the city now and then and attend the theater when something exceptionally good is on hand. Of course it requires the expending of a little money to do this, but the money cannot be better spent and no man on top of the green earth is better able to spend it than the successful farmer and these things will help him to be successful and what is belter, they will have a great deal to do with keeping his boys from getting disgusted with farm life. It will be a good investment considered simply from the standpoint of dollars and cents. mf

THE letters which recently passed between Wm. H. Vanderbilt and General and Mrs. Grant put the former before the country in a much better light than he has been commonly seen in. In not only offering to give back but insisting upon his accepting the property which he bought in payment of his debt, Mr. Vanderbilt has exhibited a generosity that is far from common in men of his class. The correspondence also shows that Gen. Grant is not the "money grubbar" which he has been charged in certain quarters with being. Having borrowed the money of Vanderbilt he insists upon the sale of all his property for the payment of the debt, and when his generous creditor offers to give his wife the proceeds of the sale tbey both refuse to accept the gift. Finally Gen. Grant yields under the pressure and Mrs. Grant, having at first reluctantly consented, afterwards finally and positively refuses to accept it. Doubtless her vifew of the subject is that the government, which her distinguished busband's services did BO much to save, ought to be grateful and just enough to take care of the old soldier during the rest of hfs life and that he ought not to be driven to the necessity of accepting private, charity. Many others are with her in this opinion and now that Gen. Grant's financial embarrassments have become fully known to the country, Congress will surely do the just and generous thing to him by placing him upon the retired list of the army.'

Gov. PORTER'S suggestion in his message to the Legislature that something ought to be done to revivify the State board of agriculture, is one worthy of consideration. He recommends that the prctfessors of agriculture and chemistry In Perdue University be made members, ex-offlcio, of the board, and required to attend its annual meeting also that a certain proportion of the board be appointed by the governor, Under the present system the beard is able to perpetuate itself by the election of its own members in conjunction with tho delegate board, and it lacks the inspiration of new blood. It runs in a rut, becomes old-fegylsh and loses the respect of the live farmers and businees men of tne State. The subject of agriculture, including live stock and other kindred Interests, is one of vast importance to the well being ancl prosperity of the State and should be in the hands of live, progressive men. A vigorous injection of fresh blood is greatly needed in the syBtem of the State board. fit

SCHUYLER COLFAX died suddenly at Mankato, Minn., on luesday. He had just arrived in town and walked from one depot to another and sat down when he suddenly fell over dead. The cause of his death was heart disease. Mr. Colfax was not quite 62 years of age. The main points of his life are well known to the people of Indiana. Beginning life as a journalist at^ South Bend, he was elected to Congress at 31 and reelected for six terms. He was twice Speaker and was elected Vice President on the ticket with Gen. Grant in 1868. Of late years his time has mainly been given to lecturing at which he amassed a handsome fortune. He leaves a widow and one son. "W*t

WITH the inauguration of Gov. Gray and Lieut. Gov. Manson on Monday the State Government passed entirely into the hands of the Democrats. Tbey now have all the State officers, four out of five of the Supreme court judges, a strong majority in both branches of the Legislature, a vice-president, and one U. S. senator. This in band, and for the near future the prospect of a member of the cabinet and possession of all the federal offices in the State. It is no wonder that they feel rather jubilant. If they behave themselves with half decency the Republicans are likely to find it hard and slow work to pull Indiana round to the Republican column again.

Two heavy failures occurred on Thursday. The Oliver Bros, of Pittsburgh, were compelled to suspend payments for a time and to ask an extention of time from their creditors. Their liabilites are estimated at from three to five millions but the assets are thought to be ample to meet them. The firm has been very prosperous in the past and its creditor* show a disposition to grant any reasonable extension. Their embarrassment will prohaWy be but temporary and no serious results are expected to follow. Hie other failure was that of John J. €}«t?o A Son, Wall street bankers, whose l. ib-.Miles are thought to be abontiwo millions. No explanation of the failure has been given at this writing.

TERRS HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL

GOT. GRAY'S recommendation that the law giving aliens the right to own and convey real estate in Indiana be repealed is a good suggestion. The law ought never to have been passed and the^ooner it is repealed the better. Our land should be owned exclusively by dtisens of the United States. We want no foreign land sharks coming in and buying up great traces for speculation, as they will do sooner or later if they have the chance. The Senate committee on public lands recently made a report in which they say that without the least authority, and in open defiance of the rights of the government, large foreign corporations have enclosed hundreds of thousands of acres of the public lands in the West, and prevented those seeking1 homes from settling upon them. In view of this condition of things the committee amended the Honse bill so as to authorize the President to summarily remove aU such trespassers and if necesBarry to use the military power of the government for that purpose. As a matter of course this is the right thing to do. The only singular thing about it is that these interlopers should ever been allowed to construet their fences in the first plafce but this'is probably aocOunted for by the vast size of our country which renders it easy for intruders to conceal their operations for a time. c-

ON last Monday Gov. Porter stepped down and out as the official head of the State department and Gov. Gray was duly inducted into the office. It is but just to say that Mr. Porter has made one of the most careful, painstaking and capable Governors the State has ever had. It was bis ambition to make such a record and he made it. He slighted nothing and neglected nothing. At the meeting of each Legislature he laid before that body many valuable suggestions and recommendations as to subjects upon which legislation was needed. Gov. Porter is of the kind of rulers who do well well whatever they do at all. His highest conception of a public o'ffleer is that he shall discharge his publio duties with absolute fidelity to the utmost of bis ability. Although a party man in the better sense of that term he did not and would not prostitute his office for partisan ends. If Governor Gray fehall succeed in making as high a record as bis predecessor, the people of the State will have cause to congratulate him upon his success.

THEY are drawing the lines very hard on Mr. St. John, the prohibition candidate. The evidence that he offered to sell out to the National Republican committee for some f25,000 is all but conclusive. The proposition came from his representative, James F. Legate, and not from the Republican committee. At first Mr. Legate intimated that |250,000 was the figure fixed by' St. John, btlt the committee scaled this down to $25,000 which sum they offered. It is their belief that the Democratic committee discounted their offer and that St. John made his financial deal with them. Whether these are the exact facts or not, Mr. St. John will stand before the country with a badly damaged character until he makes abetter defense for himself than he has yet made, 7? "IT might be worse," [and it is a grtet ileal worse on the other side of the Atlantic. A correspondent of the New Yo?k Sun says: "The picture of universal gloom la completed by the continuaii«e of the depression In trade, the stories of distress in aeveral large towns, and it i* herribie to read how the different depots for the dUtribution of food at Christmas times were besieged by masses of people so hungry that the meat distributed w&» immediately eaten law I

Beardless men, it is said, are once more to rule the social world. Beards are to be plucked and faces shaven. Thus absolutely hairless faces are to be typical of ideal society men.

THE CLEVER GIRL'S SECRET. [New York Letter to Chicago Journal.] It isn't often that a clever girl is caught at anything ungrateful In the way of public eating. Macaroni may entrap her once, but that is exceptional. I will let you Into something which as yet if a sort of secret, but which, in the nature of things, can't long remain so. The New' York beau usually finds, on inquiry after the theatrical performance or opera was ovtr, that his belle has a has a big midnight appetite. This physical condition is not so much the result of her lapsing hours since her last meal as that she did not then permit herself to eat all she could bold. Knowing very well the discomfort of sitting for a long evening in a corsage additionally tightened by a hearty dinner, she fasts rather than submit to'worse annoyances. In the nearest restaurant to the playhouse, however, she etncompasses more than her adjusted corset would allow her to hold. How is that? I wrll solve the mystery. Observe that, on taking a seat at a table she simulates a shiver and remarks that she will keep on her cloak. Pretty soon, when the plate of fried oysters and bottle of ale were set before her, the fair hands disappear underneath the ample wrap. There are surface indications of fumbling in the region of her waist, and then a general relaxation. She sigh*, but it is expressive of relief instead of sorrow, and the raptesoort is a little shocked by her suddenly come placent, even voracious, contemplation of the solid food. What has she done? A pull at a string has loosened all the stays of her corset, and an unbuttoning of her dress had freed girth from all restrictions. Sbo will now easily accommodate whatever she chooses to swallow, and the wrap will hide the matter safely until she disappears from the sight of the beau into her own home.

ONIONS INSTEAD OF APPLES. [Philadelphia News.] pUjj "You didn't know onions wl^lgetting popular among fruit eaters, did you?'' said an Eighth Btreet fruit dealer on Saturday. "No. Well, it's a fact. You'd think people would be disgusted with the smell of a raw onion, but the fact is that many people like the odor, and eat them with the same relish tbey would an apple. Why," said the dealer, "when I first went into the business nobody ever thought of such a thing as eating a raw onion, and a dealer would no more have sold an onion from a stand than to have retailed potatoes. Nowadays we think nothing of having a man ask for a nice strong onion,anaevery dealerndevery fruit stand in town keeps them in stock. Funny, ain't it?" "And does the onion craze erow?" "Grow? Well, rather! Why, sir, if I've sold one onion this morning I've sold a dozen. They bring from 2 to 3 cents apiece."

SAME OLD FOOL JOKE. Providence Journal. A young lady of OlneyviJle had been sitting in a chair and arose to get something, and as she attempted to regain her seat a young friend quickly withdrew the chair and allowed her to sink heavily to the floor. The next day she was taken ill, and a physician was sum moned, and for two months he has been applying bandages, plasters, etc., to save the young lady, who is 18 years of age, from permanent curvature of the spine. As it was, her body became bent, and gave her friends great alarm. It will be five years before all danger of spinal disease will be removed.
