A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

NOTES AND COMMENT.

There is a lull in the matrimonial market just at present, bnt several weddings are promised for September,

It is a remarkably uneventful week when a workman on the new court boose isn't killed or maimed for life.

There are twenty-two saloons in the foar squares centering at Fourth and Ohio streets. Taking one consideration with another it is not surprising that Wall street furnishes so many sensational items for the dslly papers.

Some Washington correspondent has ia grudge against Terre Haute people, and takes it out by misspelling their names when they go there. This week the list had an addition in the person of "Kim Himmel." It was along time before his friends could make op their i^minds that Sam Hamlll was referred to.

As a result of the feeling between the McKeen Rifles and Thompson Rifles, the Agricultural Society will most likely offer a prize for the best drilled military company in the county, the drill to be given at the coming fair. There is a chance that the old military spirit may 1)6 aroused in this community through thew two companies. eIv. H. 0. Breeden is evidently getting in training for the Congressional race next year. He umpired a game of base ball over in Illinois one day this edfc. It is said that after the game ended he would have given two dollars and a half to have been out of the ministry for a few minutes, in order that he might do the subject justice.

It IB announced that Col. R. W. Thompson's address at the Grant memorial exercises to-day will be the last he •will evor deliver in public. There is no other name so dear to the heart of a Vigo county inau as that of "Uncle Dick" Thompson, and there will be universal regrpt that tho eloquence of his silver toogno will no more add to the pleasure of our public occasions.

Two of the revenue officials appointed by Collector Hanlon havo declined, and next year one of Barnum's chiefest attractions will be described as follows by the lecturer: "Gentlemen and ladies, in tho last cage you will observe two of the rarest curiosities of the age. The only living specimens of the kind. They were disco ve? in Indiana, and are Indiana DeuioctiJs who declined office!"

Men have queer ideas of fun when they go off on an excursion. One of the most popular 1s not to sleep any themselves and not to let anybody else sleep. They pound on bedroom doors, pull each other out of bed, play jokes, laugh, sing, howl and make night hideous and when the next day comes they nre nil too badly used up to the havo any legitimate fun and so the excursion Is a failure.

The residents in certain parts of the city are petitioning the council for electric lights. No wonder they are asking for better lights If they live in the gasoline district. The man who has to And his way home by the aid of a gasoline lamp is justifiable in committing almost any sort of a crime. Some day our council men will get a good streak over them and go out and dig up the gasoline posts and throw them luia the river.

The movement to remodel the police ordinance Tuesday night, fell through. It is said the effort to down Superintendent Lawlor is due to City Attorney Foley, who has a grudge against the head of the police department. Some of tbe latter's friends claim that if Mr. Foley doesn't let up on him that some fine night be will find himself abolished. The Republican members of tbe Council enjoy a little fun, and will give such a measure their full support if it shonld come up.

When will intellegent persons abandon the idea that the body of a suicide can not be touched until after, the Coroner has viewed it. It is a fool notion, and a committee ought to be appointed to pound sense into the heads of those who hold to it. One day this week the body of a suicide hung for.an hour before it was cut down, and even then it was found to be warm. Had there been any person about possessed of a grain of judgment the life of the nnfortnnate man might have been saved.

It W&s enough to frighte a braver man than Captain Fitch to have such a scientific address as that of Capt. Hook fired at him without any previous warning. It is said that even the barometer was visibly affected and indicated a much higher state of pressure than was warranted by tbe weather, while several of the large building stones were knocked off their base by the torrent of eloquence. It really was a great scientific event in the history of Terre Haute and it is said Col. Nelson went around behind the Government building and shed tears of envy.

It was thought this week that the mystery surrounding the death of Williamson, tbe Casey man, in this city last winter, had been solved. A prostitute named Phipps confessed that he bad been murdered in ber room in the St. Clair bi'ock, but after investigation the police discovered that jealousy of one of the parties implicated bad caused the confession, and that there was nothing in it. A sensation like this would have been, if true, is good for a column a day for a week, and it's pretty tough on the reporter of a daily paper to have the bottom knocked oat of a good item, particularly at this time, wnen a dog fight is worthy a double head.

Tho press dispatches were lavish in accounts of the ladies' dresses but neglected to tell us what Parson Newman wore. By the way, is this Grant's funeral or Parson Newman's funeral? The latter seems determined that tbe public shall not lose sight of him. It will be the regret of his lifetime that he was not "in at tho death," but it will be a great consolation to know that "he led tbe widow to a sofa and sat down by her." The people always resent any one man's being too officious, even though he happen to be a minister of tbe gospel, indeed they are a little more apt to sit down on preachers than men of other professions, perhaps becauso the former are apt to be "too fresh." It has struck tbe public all through Gen. Graut's illness that there was a little too strong a flavor of Parson Newman.

Some of our physicians are having a bard time over the new medical law, which shuts out those who have no diploma, have not been practicing ten years, And who, after attending medical lectures, have not practiced three, years. Many stories are being told to explain why these conditions can not be complied with, but all the same those who cannot will have to give up their practice. The law Is not what it should be, after all, as only regular graduates of medical schools shonld be allowed to pursue the profession. The inefficiency of the present law an best be shown by t'li' fact that "Dr." Llghtball, the Indian 1 aoctor, who gave the famous banquet to (the "journalists" of this city a year or so 1 :igo, was given a certifci-uo at Indiana-

ilM, tins week. Of the eighty phytici ui in Terro TT te but have thus far complied with lue law.

TERRE HAUTE, IND., SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1885.

Dr. Swafford celebrated, last Saturday, the thirtieth anniversary of the hanging out of his shingle, tbe same rusty sign which still swings and creaks in front of his office. More remarkable still he has used the same slate all this time and it still reposes on his office table. What a history it might relate if slates could speak! Dming all these thirty years Dr. Swafford has never lost but two days from his office on account of his own sickness, and he has never ta"ken one single day's vacation except such as was connected with his legitimate business. He bas never spent a day in hunting, fishing or any other recreation. Through beat and cold, rain and shine, easy times and hard times, he has always been found at his post of duty. And yet he has managed to get about as much enjoyment out of life as any other man of his age, and, with his rosy cheeks and sparkling blue eyes, is every evening the4pnter of an admiring circle of friends linjttbd neither by age nor circumstances.

ON Tuesday tbe great funeral pageant of burying Gen. Grant began by the removal of bis remains from Mt. McGregor to Albany. The train whioh bore tbe casket was richly and exquisitely draped in "mourning and the entire journey was accomplished without once ringing the bell or blowing the whistle of the engine. The people stood with uncovered heads and silent as the train passed throngh the various stations. After lying in state at Albany the remains were tsken to New York, where they lay in state until to-day, the time fixed for the final obsequies. Tbe city of New York is crowded almost beyond precedent with people from every State in the Union, come together to honor the memory cf the dead hero and'to witness the grandest funeral which' this country has probably ever seen*

MR. DOMINICK MCCAFFREY, who thinks he is a greater pugilist than Mr. John L. Sullivan, is going to meet the latter distinguished gentleman at Cincinnati the latter part of the month. What a blessing it would be if they could knock each other out of sight, and along with them the disgusting crowd of "Billies" and "Paddies," whose portraits stare ay^JUpjxy&ye. fn the land."

WOMEN'S WATS.

Ladies as well as gentlemen how wear traveling caps. A girl eleven years old was married to a man of forty in Augusta,, Me.,, Monday.

A widow in Wilton, Conn., says she never intends to marry again. She is one hundred and four.

In New Haven a seventy-flve-year-old bride is suing ber twenty-two-year-old husband for absolute divorce. She imagines that he flirts with the other girls..

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox has begun suit against a Cincinnati firm for stealing her "Poems of Passion" and publishing them under the title of "Love and Laughter."

A woman always shsdes her eyes by turning her hsnd over—the palm upward—so that the back will not sunburn. During the civil war a woman in the army in male 'attire was discovered by this gesture.

A fashionable Austin lady, immediately after the death of her husband, married his brother. A visiter at the house, nbtlclng the picture of her late husband, asked who it was. "It is—is" she replied hesitatingly, "my deceased broth-er-in-law."

Miss Madeline A. Garftidr has been appointed translating clerk in tbe department of the First Assistant Post-master-general. She is a niece of Joaquin Miller, the poet. She spent eight years in Europe, speaks five languages fluently, and paints and writes well.

Apiece of evidence in a Quebec breach of promise esse was a cuff with an offer of manage written on it. One night, while ue defendant was holding the plaintiffs hand and whispering fervid words, he popped the question in manuscript on the smooth linen at her wrist. She was sentimental or shrewd enough to keep that article out of the wash, and now it fs of practical value.

To meet the requirements of a classic figure a lady should be 5 feet 4% inches tall, 32 inches bust measure, 24 iBches wai#4 finches from armpit to waist, lon^ and n$ek. A queenly woman tfdWever, should be 5 feet 5 inches tall, 31 inches about the bust, 26}4 inches about the waist, 35 over the hips, 11 inches around the ball of tbe arm and 6XA inohes around the wrist. Her hands and feet should not be too small.

Among the ladies at Long Branch this summer, one of the wealthiest, most "diamonded" and most gorgeously appareled is the wife of a New York bar. ber who bas made bis fortune in stock speculation, iler husband still scrapes chins, notwithstanding the fact that his wife has "society" aspirations. Most of his customers are brokers and railroad men. He picks up valuable "points" from them, and for that reasen insists 6n remaining in business. Another woman, who wears splendid toilets and jewels, is the wife of a Brooklyn baker. Her husband, starting in life as a jour neyman kneader of dough, bit upon a kind of bread that pleased New York's palate, and now he is a millionaire, lives in great style, and maintains one of tbe handsomest turnouts on the coast.

SURE CURE FOR LOVE. Anntie Susan Molay is a Cincinnati fortune-teller whose peculiar province is dealing with love affairs. "What do yon fortune tellers consider the best antidote to love?" inquired a reporter of her. "Dar's a heap ob 'em. Ants' eggs will cure it, and so will de mixin' ob beetle. Three hairs taken from de 'cross' ob a donkey will act like a charm, though tbe donkey will be sure to die after i». Eben de sneeein' ob a cat indicates good luck to a woman efsheis in love though ef de cat washes her face over her ears, she will have tnrmble." "What are the signs of love?" continued the querist. "If a swallow builds on de bouse it shows dat sum person in de bnildln' is goin' to marry befo' fail. To meet a saw wid a litter ob pigs, shows dat de brunettes in de family are in love, jess as when you see pigs carry straws in dar moufs, it shews dat it's to rain. Pigs shew a heaps ob things. In dar foah feet is a bole which you kin see when de pig am dead an' de hair is cut off. Sam say dat's what de devils went ont' cordf rt' to de parable. De number of little rings roun' dem holes will tell yer borr many times yon will fall in love durln' yo' mortal life. Another sign is dat ef a white pigeon settles on de chimney, it shews day yon will marry a blonde bnt ef yon meet two magpies fiyin' together she'll die befo' de marriage ceremony comes off. Ef a girl doan' wash ber hands after milkin', her man will be sure to go back on ber, an' ef a crow croaks an odd number of times look out fur trouble in yoab brother's family. Ef yon doan' know jest de oondishnn of yoab sweetheart's mind to ward yer, »n' yon ask do advice of a man ridin' on a piebald horse, you ken be sure dat de answer will be kerrect. It la nnlncky far a bridegroom to keep or kill a robin. Ef a woman wears a bouquet of diamonds, it la a sure sign dat she is in love, 'cause de diamond am an emblem ob Inb an' innocence, an—" but Aont Moby's volubility was broken short by the accidental dropping of tbe vial containing tbe alcohoiisea tarantula cm the floor and the smashing of the glass Into a thousand pieces.

MAURICE THOMPSON, state geologist, I although addicted to the study of rocks, birds snd out-of-doors subjects in general, has acquired fame as a novelist.

One of his latest and most popular books is "At Love's Extremes." One of the characters is Miss Crabbe, an associate editor on a newspaper. From his treatment of her, says the Indianapolis Times, a large number of ladies who are interested in woman's rights have concluded that Mr. Thompeon is bitterly opposed to them, and have severely criticised him. Thirteen ladies, in different States, have accused him of intending to caricature them personally, and have written him letters several degrees hotter than the highest temperature yet reached this season. Miss Crabbe is described as a blonde, stud one of those thirteen highly offended ladles, who is a brunette, informs Mr. Thompson that he has taken a mean and spiteful advantage of her by changing the style of beauty. While tbe book was being written, the author did not think cf this construction' being put upon Miss Crabbe, his aim being to picture simply tbe individual character. An item in one of the Crawfordsville papers intimates that Miss Crabbe was Miss Mary Krout, associated with the Crawfordsville Journal. As Miss Krout and Mr. Thompson were warm personal friends, and as she was not engaged in journalism at the time he was writing the novel, he very easily removed that Impression. To tbe others he has made no reply, preferring to saffer patiently, rather than increase their fury by engaging in a dispute.

TOUQH ON THE LAWYERS. •d The dlffereoce between a lawyer trying a case and a cat is that one is lying for a fee and tbe other is a feline. "Well, Bill, old Lawyer Spriggs there is getting old and feeble, ten't be?" "Well, Jim, he's always been fee-bill."

A rich merchant of New Orleans is fitting his five sons and two daughters to be lawyers. He wants to keep the money in the family, evidently. "That witness is as deep as a well," muttered an attorney who had been c*'Oss-examining. "You ought to bo able to get what you want out of him," retorted the opposing counsel. "Wells are always worked by cranks."

When a lawyer boards at a place where he has to be content with oleomargarine for a substitute for butter and is debarred from kicking against it for financial reasons best known to his landlady, he is soarcely in a position to do justice to a brief in a case where he has to prosecute somebody for adulterating butter. "What is the difference between a counselor-at-law and an attorney-at-law?" asked an attorney of a man who had had some experience with lawsuits. "I don't know, but I suppose there is tbe same difference between them that there is between an alligator and a crocodile." "That's a pretty rough comparison." "Yes, but what difference does it make? I don't think alligators are entitled to any consideration."

Eattery

late connected by a wire with a galvanic on the table. Tbe doctor took up from the table, at his elbow, something that looked like an ebony pen staff. This also was connected with the battery. In the end was a very fine gold-plated needle. The doctor looked cautiously over the young lady's dainty little mustache and at length,, singling out a hair, inserted the point of tbe needle down by the hair bulb and pressing a little spring in the handle, turned on the current from the batt3ry.

When tbe electric current ran do*n the point of the little needle the lady winced and clenched her while the tears came to her eyes. This lasted only for a moment, for as soon as a little froth appeared around the needle it was removed and tbe bair dropped ont. After forcing out about a dozen hairs on each side of the lip, the doctor stopped. The young lady removed ber head from tbe metal plate, wiped ber face with a scented pocket handkerchief, and tripped gayly to tbe mirror. She took along glance of intense satisfaction and gleefully remarked that they would soon all bejgone. Then she put on ber hat and left, after having made an appointment for another sitting. 'So yon remove mustaches from tbe yonng ladies who are unfortunate enough to have such hirsute adornments?" remarked tbe reporter. "Will yon tell me bow it la done?" 'The operation Is not very new," was tbe reply. "It bas been known and practiced for several years, especially in the East. The electric current decomposes tbe salt in tbe akin into add, which goes to the metal plate and alkali, which accumulates around tbe needle and destroyes the hair bnlbjso that tbe hair can never reappear. This method Is also very useful in removing the ugly bristles that grow in moles, for tbe bair* are then large in size and few in number. It is only necessary to spend a few second* on each hair, ana bnt a few seconds on a doseo, after which a rest of several days Is taken to allow the inflammation to disappear, before undertaking anj more."

Sixteenth Year

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER.

A GREAT RENDERING OF THE SONG AT ANDERSONVILLE PRISON.

Gen. Howell Cobb visited Andersonvi'le on the Fourth of July, 1864, to look Into the alleged desertion of the guards. It was a critical time, and there were 84,000 Federal prisoners in tbe stockade. If any considerable number of the guards deserted it was feared that the prisoners would make a break and overrun tb« country. The correspondent of tbe Indianapolis Sentinel pays that Gen. Cobb collected the guards near tbe stockade and commenced a ringing speech in which he reminded them of ilie important trust confided in them and urged them to do their duty. Before the speaker had uttered more than a few sentences about fifty prisoners in tbe stockade were heard singing the first verBe of the "Star Spangled Banner." When the chorus wss reached, with detonations like an explosion, 5,000 voices were beard pealing: Tbe star spangled bauner, Oh, long may it wave O'er tbe land of the free and the home of the brave.

The deafening noise broke into the speech, but when the roar subsided and only a few score voices were heard singing the second stanza, Wirtz hastened to nave the singing stopped. The narrator of the story says "The verse was sung and tbe chorus reached again. The congregation numbered 10,000 more than before. Heaven I what a

Bwell

seemed to quiver with the concussion, the stockade wall to tremble. Tbe guards on the mount were stunned with wonderment. Wirtz who hsd reached the great gate, stood stock still as if paralyzed. The solders forming the square were all now facing tbe prison. "The storm lulled, the speaker sought to sssume, but bis manner was disconcerted. Wirtz was moving nervously about, but essaying nothing. They beard the breeze of song sweeping along the lines of the third stanza, but knew it only foreboded the return of the tempest. And now it comes: "There are 20,000 throats swelling tbe call of the pennant under which they had fought, and 5,000 icore joined in the invocation: —Oh, long itmy It wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. "The echo of the last words bas but struck the brauches of the pines when they begin to repeat. Higher, wider deeper, stronger, louder tb« iea

He has beard the anthem before, but never as now. Tbe listeners appear almost panicked, A guardsman's gun dropped from his hand without his missing it. "Again they repeat, and now the scene grows wild. Thirty thousand voices are clanging tbe chorus—30,000 bosoms are swelling with tbe thought of country and flag and home and loved ones from whom they had parted. Men with bnt one leg clambered up and supported by their stronger comrades wave their caps aloft and join the chorus: The star spangled banner, Oh, long may it

REMO VINO MA I DENS!' 1 ACHES. [Louisville Courler-Jbnrnal.]

It was the face of a handsome brunette just verging into womanhood. On her upper lip, and slightly shading its scarlet hue grew a dark, silken mustache that on a dude would have been cherished and cultivated as the choicest treasure on earth. Her head rested in a metal

youDg hands,

O'er tho land of the free and the home of the brave. "Once more they repeat, and now all the prison is in the sky rending peal— the very wall*—tbe ground. Poor fever wasted frames, within an hour of dissolution from their spirits, half uprise, and propping upon one band raise tbe withered fingers of the other aloft while they unite their cracked voices In the refrain they will bear never more: The stnr opangled banner, Oh, long may It wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

THE SURVIVING GENERALS. [Philadelphia Times.] Tbe only two great commanders now living who faced each other in making the thrilling and crimsoned annals of tbe late civil war are General William T. Sherman and General Joseph E. Johnston. Grant met Lee, Joseph and Sidney Johnston, Beanregard, Buckner, Bragg and Pemberton in battle, as chief commanders, and of them Joseph E. Johnston, Beauregard and Buckner survive.

Meade, who met tbe terrible shock of battle ai Gettysburg, was borne to the City of the Silent within a short time of the imposing southern pageant that committed the dust of Lee to the mother dust and Thomas and Hood, who fought the last great battle of the war at Nashville, both sleep tbe dreamless sleep of tbe dead.

Sherman and Johnston alone remain of tbe great commanders wbo locked horns with each other in the flame of battle. Tbefr campaign from Chattanooga to Atlanta, and from Atlanta to the sea, was tbe most brilliant of tbe war, and tbey are the only two great commanders who are left to sit down and talk their battles over, as tbev often do in tbe heartient good fellowship.

Of tbe many commanders of the heroic Army of tbe Potoimc none remain, with tbe single exception of General McClellan. Scott, McDowell, Burnslde, Hooker, Meade and Grant, wbo in turn commanded that magnificent army, have all

gone

to join the great majority, and one of Lee's ngers with tbe

Longstreet is the onli

living. Jackson, Hill, Ewell and Stuart, who were in every great conflict of the Army of Virginia, rest with their great cbiefton of Arlington.

Joseph E. Johnston and G. T. Beanregard are tbe only surviving confederate commanders who lead great armies to battle, and they are whitened by tbe frosts of time. Johnston has been la Congress and la now at tbe head of the national railroad bureau, while Beauregard Is bartering bis fame In tbe market place where lottery swindlers rob tbe multitude.
