TKRRE HAUTE, JUNE 27 1885

THE cool, bracing air of Mount Mc Gregor is having a beneficial effect upon Gen. Graot whose condition the pant few days ahowa symptoms of improvement,

•$ DR. LEMUKL MOSS, formerly President of the State University and a popular preacher, is now living at Chicago and is agent for a steam-heating apparatus that can be attached to cook stoves.

THB plan of giving the New York clerks and salesmen a half holiday ou Saturday is meeting with general favor. A large proportion of the retail stores have joined in the movement and thousands of employes are thus afforded an opportunity to get a half day with their their families for an excursion to the beach or park without having to take Sunday for it.

ALTHOUGH the general current of trade continues to be dull and sluggish throughout the country, the better opinion among financial authorities is that business will show a decided improvement during the coming fall. With the single exception of winter wheat the crops promise finely and there is every indication of a bountiful harvest. It is thought that the symptoms of a business revival are similar to those which succeeded the depression of 1878.

ALL the iron and steel mills in and around Pittsburg will soon be using natural gafe.for fuel. This will cause a saving in the annual consumption of nearly forty millions of bushels. It will also throw out of employment thousands of firemen, coal-heavers and ashhaulers heretofore employed in the mills. This gas flows out of the ground and is conveyed wherever it is wanted through pipes. Its use will work a great revolutipn lu the operation of iron mills. _________

THB new law in Maryland which provides for the flogging of wife beaters has gone into effect with apparently good results. Two men, Pye^s and Myers, were given twenty lashes each in Baltimore. The whippings attracted general attention and since the oonviction of these two brutes there has been much less wife beating in Baltimore. Evidently the whipping post is the righteous punishment for this class of offenders and the example of Maryland should be followed elsewhere by the enactment of similar laws.

LORD SALISBURY has formed a new cabinet which has been approved by the Queen. The liberals have promised to make no factious opposition to the new government, but to assist it in completing the ordinary business of the session. And so for the present the trouble has baen Sided over but it remains to be seen how the new ministry will manage the tax question so as to satisfy the people any better than the plan proposed by Mr. Gladstone. Beer will be free no doubt, but what is to take the place of beer as a tax-raising article ?, I l\ 4

AND still the work of recrultiug Mormondom from across the seas goes bravely on notwithstanding the adversities with which the saints have lately been contending. The steamer Wisconsin brlags some five hundred proselytes from Europe, the harvest of the Mormon elders in foreign lauds. The importation of these deceived people cannot be prohibited for lack of evidenoe that they intend to enter into polygamous relation* upon reaching Utah, but that such is the expectation of the church authorities there can be little doubt,

THK campaign in New York this fall will attract more attention than that of any other State. A Governor and some other State officers are to be choeen. Among the issues It is thought that civil service reform, as Illustrated by the present administration, will be one of the most interesting. Senator Warner Miller hasgiven some suggestions which embody his ideas on certain questions ot State policy. Among other things be advisee that the annual appropriation of one million dollars for completing the State capltol at Albany be diverted to the enlargement of the locks in the Brie canal, whereby its carrying capacity can be very largely increased.

Tan Chattanooga Times administers a desired rebuke to the newspapers and cltisena ot New Orleans for their complaints against the North in its treatment of the exposition. The Times bluntly tells them that when the North furnished about 90 per cent* of the visitors to the exposition as well as most of the really fine exhibits that wtre shown, it is in poor taste for the Crescent City to whine about unfriendly treatment on the part of the people of the North. As the Times justly observes, the only drawback the exposition had was in the shabby support given it by the dtinn of New Orleans, a home enterprise as it was. If they expect over to reopen the exposition with soy possible show of financial MK»BSS there will have to has mora liberal and self-helping disposition shown by the city of New Orleans.

A oncision of spedal interest to hotel keepers has recently beon made by the Iowa Supreme court. The case was that of a guest who contracted small-pox in a hotel and who recovered a verdict for 95,000 against the hotel keeper, who hsd knowledge of the existence of the disease in his house. The Supreme court sf firmed the judgment of the lower court holding that the landlord, was required to keep his bouse in a safe condition for travelers. It was also held that knowledge of rumors by the guest that there was smallpox in the hotel did not amount to contributory negligence on the part of the guest.

MR. TALLMAGE is very much opposed to Mr. Beecher's evolution views. But then Mr. Tall mage is very much opposed to anything that Mr. Beecher says or or does. It is apart of his policy to be quite the opposite of Mr. Beecher. Per bsps he adds to his notoriety in this manner. Mr. Tallmage takes the whole of the bible in its most liberal form. He says that men used to be eight and ten feet tall and live well on to a thousand years. By Adam's sin they fell and became puny, weak and short lived He also believes that the horses used to laugh in Job's time, because Job describes the war horse as ssying "ha, ha," when be smelled the battle afar off. Mr. Tallmage has the simple, blind credulity of a child, whose reasoning powers have not yet been developed. Mr. Beecher uses his reason. Perhaps there is no grester difference between the two men than in the statement of this fact.

CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER'S series of articles entitled "On Horseback," the first of which is published in the July Atlantic, indicates that the Hartford editor still possesses his old-time humor and sprigbtlinees. His journey was from Abingdon, Virginia, through the mountain districts of Tennessee and North Carolina and his descriptions of the lovely scenery, but poverty-stricken and shiftless inhabitants of the regions through which he passed are quite inimitable. Bacon, corn pone, soddy biscuits and indigestible pie were the articles upon which Mr. Warner and his companion were compelled to feed for the most part, to which were sometimes added fried potatoes swimming in grease It is evident that the miasionaries most needed in that country are the missionaries of the kitchen. The intelligence and enterprise of the people will not improve so long as they live upon such food. _____________

STORM cellars are coining to be regarded as a necessary adjunct to a house in the tornado belt of the West. Tte recent cyclones in western Iowa and Missouri have demonstrated the value of these under-ground retreats, to which, if rightly constructed, the people can retire with comparative safety. It is true that the storm sometimes advances so swiftly that there is not sufficient time to oscape its fury by the retreat to the cellar, but this is not often the case. Scientific principals are being applied to the construction of these "storm retreats" which will result in additional tafety. As the storms usually come from the west it is suggested that the storm cellars should be on the west side of the house, so that in case the house is blown down the falling timbers would be carried from and not towards the cellar. Fortunately tornadoes seldom come lu the night time, but commonly in the afternoon, thus affording much better opportunities for escape than if they oceured at night| «.

IT is Slid to be the programme of Mr. Conklin's political frieuds to give him a grand banquet in New York on his return from his Europoan trip and thus boost him for United States Senator, as the one great remaining statesman of the country. But if this scheme is attempted Mr. Blalue's friends will have a hand in the game. But for the sulking of Mr. Conkling and his friends, who, after promising their support to the ticket, quietly koifed him at the polls, Mr. Blaine would now be the President instead of a defeated candidate. At any rate this is what Blaine's friends believe, and so believing they are not going to see Conkling restored to office if they can help it. The best thing Mr. Conkling can do is to go quietly on with his law practice, pockettag big retainers and accumulating that competency which he was never able to acquire In public life. When be left politics be said he never expected to go into It again. Let him be as good as his word and keep out.

LoCiSViLLB, Ky., has a "Citizens' league," the object ot which is to eleo competent and reliable men to the State Legislature and tbedty Council without reference to politics. As happens to be the case In a good many American cities, the management of public affairs In Louisville baa got into the hands of professional politicians and place seekers and the people are waking up to the fact that they are"paying high taxes for the enrichment ot these unscrupulous manipulators. Hence the "Citizens' league" and the work which It ha* set itself to do. Discarding party politics, so fsr ss the Stats and municipal affairs are concerned, the league has selected the best men that were willing to accept the offices of assembly and councilmen and will pat forth all its power toseeure their election. The measure of the association's usefulness will depend upon the extant of the aid it may receive from the taxpayers of Uw city. If this shall be hearty and general the league has in It the promise and poatMllty ot great• ossfalnem, but without such aid it will1 bs powerless to conquer the rings.

TBRBE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT.

Nxw YORK city ia now pouring its population into the various summer resorts which surround that great metropolis on all aides. No great city ia more favored than New York in this respect At its very doors are the Coney Island and Rockaway Beach, affording fine sea bathing and cheap rides on the water, Thousands are able to run down to these popular resorts at a trifling expense who oonld not afford to go far from home. Within a few hours' ride of the city are the celebrated watering places, Newport, Long Branch and Cape May, while northward is the delightful scenery along the Hudson river ending in the Adirondack mountains and the lovely lake region of northern New York For beauty and picturesqueness the scenery around Lake George is not surpassed by that of any lake in Europe. There are also the famous Saratoga springs and many other medicinal springs at various places. Lake Chautauqua, with its unique literary feast combined with recreation and restful enjoyment, is a constantly growing attraction for hundreds of refined and cultivated people from all parts of the country. These are only some of the best known of the many resorts in which the State of New Yotk is so rich. There are hundreds of quiet, beautiful places where pure air, good food and charming scenery may be enjoyed at a very moderate cost.

••r ana by no means satisfied," said a Wyoming Judge in sentencing a prisoner, "with the evidence inK the case, and am not sure whether you killed John Forbes or whether he died by a visitstion of God, but my sentence is that you be hanged on the third Friday of June and should you know of your own innccenoe you will have the comforting thought that it is doubted by sometrf the wisest thinkers of the age whether life is in any circumstances worth living." What such a Judge would do in a case where he was really convinced of a prisoner's guilt, it is difficult to surmise.

jRAIL WAY JPBOGWESg:

THE GREAT ROUTE TO.THE EAST.

The St. Louis Republican of Tuesday says: Progress is the way of the world, and the highway of progress is the railway. It is the motive power and pioneer of modern movement and development, and a railway which is a pioneer of im* provememts in its own transportation and transit systems is an object of interest to a vast public.

The Pennsylvania railroad, with its connections—-the Panhandle and Vandalia lines—forming a great trunk railway, linking the east and west has come to the front of railroad systems through commanding position, abundant resources and an enlightened management capable of grasping possibilities and employing ail the advantages it possesses. The management of this system have not been content to settle down in position, to which the richest oelt of the United States is necessarily tributary but their enterprise aud policy have constantly improved and strengthened that position at every point. The great trunk line is securely entrenched in the shortest distance between the center of the Mississippi valley and the Atlantic seaboard, it is the first to secure all Improvements in equipments, and all appliance'pertainlng to the safety and comfort of passengers also to give the public the full advantages of rapid transit. It is the pioneer line in fast time, and the inauguration of through cars between St. Louis and New York also in bringing the limited mail through from New York in thirty-one hours.

The facilities of the Yandalia line for the accommodation of travel from St. Louis east are gradually increased and always commensurate with the demand. Commencing with a Pullman sleeper, now a Pullman buffet, on the night exress, a Pullman hotel car on the mornng train was soon added. Finally a third train, the limited express, was put on with both Pullman buffet and drawing room car, which is now the equipment of all trains running through to New York without change, and solid trains are running to Pittsburg. The entire track is uallasted with stones and gravel from St. Louis to New York. It is all laid with the heaviest of steel rails and a double track through is coming rap idly with greatly increased speed aud time tbat is beyond competition and rivalry. Every precaution has been taken to increase the safety of the trains, and make travelling both pleasant and secure. So much for the present position and condition of the line itselr, and it should be added that many improvements introduced by this Hue have had the effect of improving the entire railway service on all routes leading out of St. Louis. It goes without saying tbat the management of such a line nee to it, tbat Its own service is thoroughly complete from end to end.

That tbe Yandalia and Pennsylvania is the shortest line and makes the fasteat time between St. Louis and New York there Is no dispute, the time tables settle that, and tbe current history of tbe road is a record of its general safety. But it has still other recommendation* not to be ovei loosed or disregarded by travellers. It Is psr excellence the tourist's and pleasure seeker's route eastward. It passes through the finest scenic and agricultural portions of tbe country lying anywhere between the Mississippi river and tbe Atlantic ocean also through many of the principal cities and important manufacturing and business centres. It traverses prairies, long struc ures of highly cultivated rolling country, dimbs mountains, darts through tunnels at tbe peaks like threading a needle, winds down the Al legbany heights around tbe far-famed Horse-shoe, a symbol of good fortune spiked on the eternal rocks, and dashes away tbrougt the Juniata and Susquehanna valleys, the farming gardens of Pennsylvania, the Lancaster and Chester counties, and tbe thirty-nine suburban environs of tbe Quaker City. The Scenery is unequaled in interest and variety by that of any other line running east from Louis, and portions of it are unsurpassed by any mountain or landscape pictures on tbe continent, wad the water views between Philadelphia and New York are soothing and restful, after tbe quick trip, satisfying tbe natural desire for change, and acting ss a aolace for wsarinsss after a ran of a thousand miles ia thirty boots.
