IN a purely agricultural county, says the Providence Journal, there will be a want of the highest education, indifference to art and a lack of social intercourse under its most beneficial conditions. There is a tendency of the keenest minds to gravitate towards tbe larger centers of population. IHencea diversified agriculture, which increases tbe ratio of population to territory, and the building up of manufactures, are for the good of the people.

WITH the close oi this month the New Orleans exposition will olose its doors by limitation of tbe period originally fixed for its duration, unless some arrangement for con tin uing the exhibition shall be made, which is not probable. The expoaition is one of wonderful variety and beauty and well deserves to be seen by all who can afford tbe expense of a trip to the Orescent City. The cool weather still prevailing makes the trip a pleasant one, late as it is in the •pring.

THH Current, of Chicago, observes, as others must have done, the singular elasticity in the seating capacity of public halls. Any of the principal balls of the country vary several thousands In their capacity "according to the emotions of htm that counts." A hall which is only known to hold four thousand on one day will, upon another day and occasion, contain five or even six thousand, while some vary all the way from eight to thirteen thousand. It appears that this peculiarity of public balls is not restricted to any particular section of the country but exteuds throughout the length and breadth of the land.

THE Salt Lake Tribune sensibly suggests that it is time our country was ceasing to think so much about mere bigness and providing Itself on an increase of 33 per cent, ln^its population ic ten years, and was turning Its attention more to quality. "Let us behold from thl* time on,"says the Tribune, "at the eud of each decade, tbe people have waxed 33 per cent, in inteligence, in practical knowledge and in tbe excellence of their mechaulcal work." This is on a line with what the Mail has urged upon its readers from time to time. It is ,u deniable that there has been too much thought of else and too little of quality in our way of looking at things. If the national mind could for a time be turn ed to tbe contemplation of mental, moral and mechanical excellence it would be a good thing.

THK advocates of the Baconian author* ship of the Shakespeare plays continue to work unceasingly in support of their theory. No point is left unearthed by them that tends to show the similarity of Bacon's thoughts with those to be found in the playa. Mrs. Henry Pott,

I A NEW YORK correspondent states that in a group of persons recently she beard discussed the distaste for marriage which characterizes the girlhood of the day. One young lady declared that she hardiy knew a girl who wanted to marry. The girls are learning something in the way of a profession, at which they can earn their own living and not be dependent upon others. The sentiment of those present was that the lack of interest in marriage was not due so much,

The Tennessee fruit crop gives prom lae of being the largest gathered in that State for many years. All kinds have managed to escape the frost and tbe trees are fairly loaded down with cherries, plums, pears, peaches and apples. Tbe small fruits also promise an abund ant yield. A good fruit crop in East Tennessee is considered more valuable than a good wheat crop and the people of that section are feeling jubilant over the prospect.

to support a wife and family in the style which is dictated by fashion. It costs so enormously to keep up such an estabinent as his wife has been used to, that tbe young husband soon regards tbe task as a hopeless one and falls back upon the resources of his wife's family as the most natural and easy solution of tbe troublesome problem. Not that he ougbt to do so, nor that a man of pluck and spirit would do so, but the average young man of

heroic and the temptation is too strong to be resisted. However this may be it is well that women are learning to be more selfdependent. The Mail has called attention to this fact before and commended it. That there will be fewer unfortunate and miserable marriages when women cease to marry for a home or a support, will ba conceded without argument. Put the two sexes upon a footing of equality, financially as well as intellectually, and the marriages that will then be made will be founded in mutual affection and esteem and in nothing else. As it is now, as it has more notably been in the past, women too often marry to be taken care of. Such unions are not good either for the man or the woman. They are a cheat and a fraud. Speed the day of woman's complete independence! It is coming fast. The avenues are opening before her into every species of employment at which she can succeed. Men have nothing to fear from it. It for their good as well as for hers. It will make them more manly, more worthy of her love, which will be the less likely to be given to him who is not worthy.

TEMPERANCE

WORK.

The temperance' people are divided into two parties. One party consists of tbe radical prohibitionists who will be satisfied with nothing short of absolute prohibition, whether practicable or impracticable. The other party is made up of those who favor the vigorous enforcement of the laws against illegal selling of liquor, whatever these laws may be.

One branch of this party is represented by the Law and Order League of Massachusetts, and by somewhat similar associations in other States. This society does not ask for further repressive legislation, but simply demands tbe enforcement of the laws already existing. In Massachusetts tbe League has encouraged the continuance of the high license law until public sentiment will support total prohibition. This branch of the temperance people believe in moving forward one step at a time in restrictive and repressive measures that will in the end lead to prohibition. The radical branch are utterly opposed to every phase of tbe license system. They declare that they are in favor of 'free whssky" rather than tbe licensed sale of it, on tbe theory that the worst phase of tbe evil would the sooner work its cure by the passage of a prohibitory statute. Between the positions of these two branches of the temperance workers sensible men and women must choose which tbey would prefer to follow.

The Law and Order League in Massachusetts seems to be doing a good work in aiding the enforcement of the liquor laws. And this is a most important work. Prominent temperance workers have said that if the existing laws against liquor selling in Indiana were strictly enforced they would not ask or care for anything more. Tbe laws are good. It is their lax enforcement which is at fault. What is needed is public sentiment, a general Interest on the subject, strong enough to secure the thorough execution of existing laws.

For this purpose would not a Law and Order League in Indiana work well, it appears to have worked well in Massachusetts.

TERKE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING Mill.

MB. CLEVELAND, SO tbe report states, listened courteously to the address which the Mormon delegation presented to him and made answer to tbe effect that he had nothing to do with tbe Edmunds law, but that it was his duty to see that law, as well as all others, en|insight forced, and that in any appointments which he might make he would endeavor to select such men as would see that the law was impartially administered. This must have been rather cold comfort for the gentlemen whose chief concern in making the pilgrimage from Salt Lake to Washington was to procure some official promise of toleration for polygamy. This they assuredly did not get. On the contrary if the President's policy shall be tbe continued enforcement of tbe Edmunds law,/the Mormons will have precisely as much to complain of in tbe future as they have had in the past. To the general lookeron it would appear that tbe best way to secure tbe continued enforcement of the Edmunds law would be to continue in office those geptlemen whose vigorous enforcement of the law has called down upon tbem tbe wrath and indignation of the polygamists.

THERE has been much discussion of late of tbe subject bf the relative rights of labor and capital, Mr. Henry George putting himself at the head of the controversy by his thoughtful book entitled Progress and Poverty," as well as by later contributions. In a volume recently published, entitled "Man's Birthright, or the Higher Law of Property," Mr. Edward H. G. Clark argues with great force and plausibility the proposition that the true solution of tbe property question is to be found in the annual levy of a two per cent, ad valorem tax on the property of every generation. The theory is that this rate corresponds with the death rate of the population which is annually two in a hundred. He takes issue with Mr. George's land theory, arguing that be has failed to suggest the true remedy for the existing injustice between the relations of land, labor, and capital. The book is well worthy of perusal by all who wish to keep informed upon one of the most important and interesting questions of the day. _________

BARTHOLDI'S great statue has been loaded upon a vessel at Paris for shipment to New York. Forty people found standing room within the head before it was taken to pieces for shipment. Meantime the New Yorkers are making desperate efforts to collect money enough to*complete the pedestal before the statue arrives. The World's fund amounted to nearly 950,000. As a matter of course the pedestal will be finished The country at large has been appealed to and tbe necessary funds will befraised But the statue will have to b6 packed away for some months in a ware-bouse until the foundation for it can be comnleted.

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

A professor of natural^history says animals frequently cry. Governor Hoadly, of Ohio, thinks Cleveland will be re-eleoted in 1888.

New York barbers are now called upon to clip poodles and shampoo pugs. The number of mules attached to the hearse denotes the respectability of a funeral at Rio Janeiro.

It is said that a winter in Washington makes a person dissatisfied with the society of every other city in the country.

ANew Orleans editor has discovered that a "young lawyer is the smartest thing in the world except a young widow."

The lawyer who obtained 94*500,000 alimony for the divorced wife of Senator Fair has had to sue that lady for his fee of 950,000.

There is still lomd sensitiveness underlying cultured Boston. At last an able editor of that city objects to the venerable reference to beans.

It is said that in the words of Shakspeare there are more than five hundred and fifty quotations, allusions, refer

ences

and sentiments derived from the scriptures. The maiden law fee of a young attorney of Sylvania, Ga., earned a few days since, consisted of 98 in money, a sack of fodder, a silver watch, an old sow and a yearling steer. He drove his live stock into town himself.

A young married man of Pittsburg has died from overexertion at a skating rink. If the poor fellow had reserved his energies to push the baby cart he would have been alive to-day. Very few young married men know just what to do.

Near Milwaukee resides man who is such a firm believer in eternal punish ment for sin by fire that he has decorated bis cellar with painted flames, wooden demons, and other horrible figures. To this place he takes his children to punish them.

A Philadelphia minister condemns not only skating rinks and theaters, but all church fairs and festivals, and says ••It's a ahame that whenever money has to be raised for church purposes same people think it can't be done unless they must have a little fnn over it."

Ministers meet with tbe different phases of human nature, the same editors. One of our clergymen remarked tbe other day that when a man died who never attended church, and who never spoke of a minister without an oath, his friends were always promptly on band with a request that a "good sermon be

In tbe CUnkal Record Dr. Holland relates that one of his lady pakiente mm called on a "psychometric heater" who

greatly impressed her by his prescience in telling her that she suffered from occasional headache and pain in the side due to tbe fact that ber liver was bound back to her diaphragm. The lady thought that only a man of diabolical could have discovered her symptoms without an examination and she hastened nervously to her physician. There she was informed that almost every woman patient a doctor has is a sufferer from headache and sideache, and that she would be in a bad way indeed if her liver were not anchored in the manner stated by tbe charlatan.

A stroll through an emigrant train at Pittsburg revealed Russians eating black bread sandwiches, evidently brought from the other side of tbe Atlantic Germans regaling themselves with wheaten bread, rancid butter and smoked sausage, and Hungarians, shunned by their fellow-travelers, devouriug musty bread and limburger cheese of great age and proportionate strength.

Dr. A. L. Loomis is credited by tbe Canada Lancet with saying: A man can take two or three glasses of stimulants daily and may continue the habit for, perhaps, 25 years without harm, but when this man reaches that period of life when tbe vital powers are on the decline, he suddenly finds himself old before his time, for he has all these years been laying the foundation for chronie endoarteritis. I belive that 50 per cent of all diseases arise from the use of stimulants."

Mr. Maselyne, a well-known English investigator of spiritualism, says: "After my twenty years' experience in investigating spiritualism I have never seen anything take place which I could not reproduce and account for, except tbe gyrations of a table on two occasions. On one of these, without the presence of a medium, by myself and a few friends, we produced movements of tbe table—a heavy one—which we could not accomplish afterward by exerting all the muscular force at our command."

A colony of infidels was founded five years ago in Barton county, Missouri. A correspondent of tbe St. Louis GlobeDemocrat, who spent a day and at alf in the new town called Liberal, says that the experiment is a failure that the town, instead of keeping pace with other towns of the same age, has fallen far behind tbem, and instead of being the happy, prosperous community it promised to be, is shrivelled, contracted, torn in two by dissensions, and in a condition where only prompt action in behalf of its friends toward a complete reorganisation will save it from disintegration.

EUREKAJSPRINOS, ARKANSAS.

Editor Saturday Evening Mail: The journey from Terre Haute here is very qnickly accomplished. The 2:30 p. m. train on the Vandalia connects at St. Louis with the night train on the Frisco route, which enables the traveller to arrive here the following day at 11:30 a. m. But the change from our beautiful Prairie City with her stately avenues of shade trees, her broad streets and comfortable sidewalks, her beaaful business blocks and elegant private residences, her daily papers, and all the busy thrum of commercial life, to this wild, weird, but nevertheless picturesque place is beyoad description. One would scarcely imagine a greater transition^ and it would almost geem, at the first glance, one was quite beyond the pale of civilisation. A sort of Sleepy Hollow stillness prevades everything.

To attempt a description of this place that would give the reader a definite Idea of an its bearings and surroundings, would be futile. Had a cyclone, in its mighty strength lifted up a city and dropped the buildings here among the Ozark mountains, there could not have been a greater Incongruity than at presents exists here. The early settlers tooK up their claims and dotted the hills and gulches with very inferior log cpblns, many of which may be seen on every street. Then came the more pretentious box houses which consist of planks stood upright, sometimes weather-boarded on the outside, covered with canvas and then papered on the inside. These houses are all built of a resinous pine, which, as it dries, shrinks, leaving immense cracks and crevices, into which creeps the cold wintry blast There area few plastered houses, and the banking company luxuriates in a brick edifice. The houses are built very close together and right on the streets, so there will never be any sidewalks. Pedestrians, equestrians, farm wagons, carriage* and all, use the road in common, and ancl one must be very amiable, not to be at times exceeding annoyed, as the roads are all very narrow. The streets intersect each other at irregular intervals, running in a zigzag manner through and across the town. One rejoices in the euphonious title of Mud street another, more pretentious, is named Mountain avenue.

is exceding soft and pore. Each spring has Its hosts of devotees. One person will recommend tbe use of the Basin, another says the Magnetic is the panacea for all pains, and he very next moment some one will tell you to drink th Harding water, or the Crescent, or from the Dairy spring, and so on through the whole list. Therefore one mast use their own judgment as far as is possible, both as regards from which spring to drink, and the qaantiiy to be drank. Neither invalids nor physicians seem to agree on either point. 1 The baths are one of the institution of the place, and especially the manipulating bath. I If not a thing of beauty it certainly is a joy forever, for one enjoys thinking of it beforehand the pleasure during the bath must be experienced to be fully appreciated, and then comes the memory, which one may contemplate always. Yet the whole process is very simple. The attendant lajs the patient in a tub of water temperatured to the individual. Then with a flesh-brush tbe

body 1b thoroughly scrubbed with soap and water, after which the entire body is well rubbed and kneaded the water is then cooled, and then the patient is taken out of the tub to be dried, and then follows a series of rubs, slaps and pounding, until the whole body Is in a glow of natural warmth, and after a rest you are rtady for a good meal. There are also given vajxrand electricbaths. which are much sou with rheumatism am

The attendants are very proficient and give

eneral satisfaction. The water is carried the springs to the bath bouses by means of pipes. All the principal springs have pipes to carry away the extra water. Thus all is utilized aud none wasted. The water never becomes

spring months. Miss Clara Welch is at the American House, and will probably return home in May. She is an example of one of the remarkable cures affected here. Mrs. Dr. Moore, Mrs. L. M. Thomas and Miss Irma Thomas are housekeeping in the Harper Cottage. Mrs. Thomas is gradually regaining her general health. Mr. J. W. Stout and wife were here the winter months, but all thought he made a mistake in going home in March, which is considered a very hard month on inva'ids. Mr. Boyd Blocksom is at the Harding Howe. The leading physician here was at one time a resident of our beautiful city—Dr. W. W. Johnston. He brought his wife here on abed aud she is now well. Tbe doctor is in fine health and so busy he is quite unable to get away for a very muoli needed rest Then there is a Mr. Martin here who, twenty-five years ago, was a clerk for Mr. Beebe Booth. Mr. Martin now has one of the leading grocery store here There are several people here who have a national reputation, but 1 will tell

LLIA HINT TO THE OIRLS. There are more chances of making a passable husband out of a fool or a crank than out of a drunkard or vicious person. The fool, if not too egotistical, or too silly for anything at all, can usually be led, coaxed, or driven, but tbe vicious person cannot. The woman who undertakes to reform a man in order to got a husband has undertaken a task that is not aucces8fully accomplished one time in a thousand. In the first place a man who needs to be reformed before he is fit for a companion is lacking in some of tbe elements which are necessary in tbe make up of even an average man.

On attaining his majority each of the babies is to be weighed, and and tbe one tipping the scales at the greatest weight is to be entitled to the $20* and interest.

thought the Lord needed both information and instruction and was afflicted with a bad memory. I notice others try to curry favor by giving Him taffy.

I notice big big strong men on a crowded street car always find something to interest them away ahead of the car when a lady steps aboard, lest they will be expected to give up their seat. I notice they get no ciedit from the lady if they do give it up.

I notice as tbe street car passes by B. R. Wright's White Front grocery that it is chuck full and running over on the side walk with everything good to eat, including Pineapples, Strawberries, Oranges, Lemons, Bananas, Green Peas, Lettuce. Spinach, Limes, New Cabbage, String Beans, Cauliflower, New Potatoes, Bermuda Onions, Florida Tomatoes, Pie Plant, Cucumbers, Preserves and Jellies, (at cost,) Dressed Chickens and Turkeys, all wheat Flour, Canned fruit at cost, Gloss Prize Starch, and many other articles in the way of household supplies too numerous to mention.

Perfection at Last!

Having watched the progress and improvement in the manufacture of Mechanical Musical Instruments for years, I can at last recommend to my friends and tbe public in general a real novelty and a perfect instrument,

THE CELESTINA.

It is suitable for use in tbe parlor, church, lodge or dsncing aendemy. Full sized organ reeds are used in this instrument, ptoducing full, rich, powerful tones instead of the thin French harp like tones produced by tbe small reeds in all other mechanical organettes. In fact the tone is equaJ) to that is any reed organ in the market. These instruments are of superior construction and finely finished, the case work being made of walnut with nickeled trimmings. Price with one music roll only $20.00.
