Well, James Q. Blaine la pretty solid *with Pennsylvania Republican, thank yott.

It is fcaid the King of Italy has recently -rgiven bis wife six new dresses. He evidently wants to get on

the

annual reunions.

While the latter will no doubt have a bully time, it is to be hoped the former will not have such a poor time.

The "whisky pool" has been foriffed at last and, like other pools, it will proceed to cut down production

and

advance

prices. This announcement need not worry anybody. Let the drinker retail ate by cutting down his drinks.

Sam Jones is drawing great crowds at the summer camp rneetingsand is Ailing his pockets with sbeckels at the same time. But that is all right. Some of tho other preachers get $20,000 a year and don't work half as hard as Sam does. _______

A poor washwoman at Bar Harbor, Maine, has been made worth $75,000 by tho boom, and yet she keeps on at her wash-tub and

Ironing-board

in the same

old way. Evidently she is not the kind of a woman to

have

her head turned by

a silly boom. Mi Iowa woman, besides doing housework for a family of six, raised 20,000 silk worms last year, going a mile into the country for mulbory leaves to feed thorn, and ran a chicken incubator to boot. That woman should be given the bakery if she wants it.

Banker Flood, of California, Is lying near death's door Crocker, tho railroad king is in a similar predicament, and Gov. Bartlett is in such a bad way that tho politicians are looking round for

With tfio terrible railroad ca&mitv HUiioIm, by Others different part* of the cduntry, this week it begins to look as if the managers of some of tho roads need stirring up. Be foro long people will Im) afraid to stir away from home—or else walk when they do go.

Tho younger generation of Vanderbilts aro not mere money garbs aftor all They have made several fine public benefactions, tho latest of which is |7(T,000 by flcorge W. for a free circulating library in Nsw York. Perhaps it is the old rule of the children spending what their fathors acquired.

Girls, have naught to do with tho young man who smokes cigarettes. On Wednesday, on a Now York ferry boat, a smoker threw away the stump of a cigarette which lodged in tho dress of Kiln Nnodaker. She was soon in flames and wduld havo perishod but for the prompt action of those near her. Boycott, tho cigarette!

There Is an old-time idea that people who walk in thoir sleep can scale the most dangerous places and never come to harm. I.Ike a good many other old notions this idea will have to be abandoned. At Marion, Indiana, tho other day a man dreamed that he was flying and walked out of a .second-story window In his sleep. He fell out of his diva in into a cellar thirty feet below and •was badly Injured.

A contemptible imposition has been discovered In peanuts. Some unconscionable ^rascal has bought up all the "pops In Virginia and they are being sold out as genuine peanuts. "Pops" are such an have no kernels and are ik tight as to be blown out of the sorting mitt in the process of claiming. If the rascal could be found and his guilt ptovwd, lynching would be too good for him.

Another shooting scrape raised a )o&lJ sensation this week. A colored Romeo attempted to kill his sweetheart because she- refused to go walking with him. He is in jail and it remains to be seen whether he will get off as easy as Dr. Staudacher. _____

Mr. McKeeri is again at the head of the Vanda'ia and will straighten out its complicated affairs as rapidly as it is possible to do. Unfortunately the Ives crowd made a pretty deep hole in the Vandalia's exchequer, but there are some assets in sight and the best will be made of a bad bargain. The company has been taken outofjthe control of the New York wreckers and the fact that Mr, McKeen is again its president, will do more than anything else to restore the confidence of the stockholders and the public.

A recently reported discovery is tothe effect that thistle seed makes'good oil. Whereupon the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette suggests that if this is true farmers may hope to be relieved of a very bad pest, for "as soon as thistles are recognized as useful they will doubtless refuse to grow except under careful cultivation." There is food for thought in this. Emerson said that a plant is a weed whose use has been discovered. When this happens the weed becomes civilized and dainty and has to be potted and coaxed like other dainty things.

It is understood that the policy ordinance will come up for consideration at tho next meeting of the council. Some of the Republican members who do not believe in the repeal of the ordinance do believe in a change of some kind by which direct responsibility for the enforcement of the law can be better fixed upon the right parties, and in this view of the complications it is proposed to have the Republican side of the house solid for the policy of the party. So far, it is said, Mr. ^lift has been tfompolled to shoulder all \he responsibility of a minority of two.

Someone reporty, from Indianapolis, that Rev. Myron fceed, "rather expects to bo asked to go ir Plymouth church, Brooklyn, to sutceed Henry Ward Beecher." There his been some reports of that kind but It 1^ not likely that Mr. Reed wo&ld indicate his expectations in advance of an actuaicall, as such a proceeding would be v^ry unusual en the part of a minister, 'vie Mail feels like saying this, however :\If the Plymouth neoplo concludo to oil Myron Reed to

while very unlike Mr. Beecher ft* sbrte respects, is greatly like him in iudepondouce and intellectual ability.

A man may" be a benefactor to a state, or a city, or a pubw, institution, endowingeither with fabulous wealth and thus seud bis name down to future generations as a philanthropist—but what does it avail him in the estimation of the people of his own day and generation so long aa he neglects his own blood to do so. One of the sensations of the eldest daughter of millionaire DePauw, by which she was practically disinherited, while the other children and several public institutions receive magnificent bequests. The plaintiff in the suit is Mrs. Ella Mcintosh, a daughter by the first wife, who, out of the maginficent estate of nine millions of dollars, received two or three small farms near Salem, and an annuity of three thousand dollars Ilcr mother was a helpmate when Do Pauw was a poor young man In Washington, and now tho daughter is cut off in this manner, due it is claimed to the effect of the last wife. Tho affair has created something of a stir throughout the state, and much sympathy is expressed for the plaintiff. If the snit is allowed to proceed there will be an uncovering of family skeletons that can not add much to the reputation of the deceased millionaire, or contribute greatly to the peace of tnlnd of those of his immediate family who survive him. The attempted breaking of a nine million dollar will, will furnish a harvest for the lawyers. I

WHAT THE PAPERS ARESA YINO.

Philadelphia Inquirer: It will be noticed that tho good advice in summer time consists largely of "dont's." What ever you want to do don't do It. Thus, by spending your time in a way to make you wish you were dead, you may manage to keep alire.

Journal of Education: A machine has been Invented that will sew on 8,000 buttons In a day. No one seems to knoy* yet whether or not a marriage license for that sort ofamachino costs more than one for the other kind.

San Franoisco Alta: The foolish virgin in tho Scriptures came with no oil in her lamp. Now she comes with a fourgallon q&n of kerosene to pour on the kitchen lire, and her funeral expenses are added to the loss of the oil.

New Orleans Picayune: When a rich man does not spend his money the way a crank or set of cranks want him to s|cnd it he must be regarded as a mean man. He can bear up under the slander, however, while he has his money and the cranks have nothing but their opinions.

Atchison Globe: Backward, turn backward, O^ime, in thy flight, give us a frost again just for to-night I'm so weary of weather so hot the sweat it produces would fill a bright pot weary of collars that wilt like a rag, weary Of toiling away for the swag.

coal this winter than at atay time'fir back before natural gas was dreamed of as a fnel supply. Why this is thusno man can tell. Of course there are men who tell us that it is owing to the InterState Commerce bill, but that is getting to be a chestnut of the rustiest hue. It is not long since the law was charged with increased passenger rates but ail companies are advertising Niagara #all8 excursions cheaper rates (no accident policy included) than fiver before, nnd the rates for the St. Louis Grand Army encampment,cut under any figures ever offered. It is therefore ridiculous to blame the law for the higher price 6f coal. The truth is, no doubt, that tho coal barons are using the law as a rfWpO goat. I

TERRE. HAUTE, IND., SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 20,1887. *.! "F, jorh tec nt!r Year

FROM THE SUMMER'S NOTE BOOK.

I scarcely know where to date this letter, as since leaving Terre Haute, I have sojournpd at Chicago, Petoskv, Bay View, Harbor Springs, Mackinaw, and my pilgrimage has found an end, as it generally does, at Chautauqua. For a steady abiding place I should prefer Chicago, and in ordinary summer weather it is about as pleasant a spot as one could find in which to. spend the heated season. Here you may have lake breezes galore, boat excursions to your heart's content, parks beautiful beyond description and a good theatre or concert every night. All these without the many discomforts that are inseparable from all summer resorts,—for it must be confessed that the agreeable and the disagreeable features are about equally balanced. At Chicago we went to see the renowned Dixey, as Adonis, and found in tho seats next to ours President and Mrs. Mendenhall, of the Rose Polytechnic. Among other sights we looked in at the great Casino with its Utile theatre, Us flowers, music, beer and crowds of people, a harmless place, perhaps, but one which our higher instincts would tell us to avoid. I also visited here what I have always ban

A

burning curiosity to

see, but could never get an escort, vizr a Dime Museum. As we came out I felt as if I ought to have nine cents of the entrance fee returned. We lingered for awhile to watch that remarkable spectacle which never loses its interest, the Board of Trade. What a satire for a city to wage an endless war upon the poker rooms and the faro banks and then build a magnificent palace to accommodate and eneourago the greatest gnmbling institution of the world 1

But we cannot tarry longer in Chicago, and will take a steamer and sail up almost tho entire length of beautiful Lake Michigan,linger forawhile atCharleroix. snd float down tho Little Traverse bay to Petosky. Here at one of tho fiuost hotels in the north, the Arlington, you find all that a watering place can offer, cool weather, pure air, attractive landscape, music, boating, bathing, fishing, an excellent bill of fare, and rest and repose, If you can resist the temptations of dressing and dancing and flirting, which seem to be the end and aim of life with most of the several hundred guests. Too tired for dressing, too indolent for dancing, too old for flirting, I found something entirely suited to my taste at Bay View, one mile away. I have a weakness for Chautauqua Assemblies, in common mgny hundred^ thousand oUjgj^ in various parta^o? the ciSuntry, and two weeks were very delightfully spent at the Bay View Assembly, the most northern of all the forty in the United States.

Open cars, with a five cent fare, run every half hour between Petosky and Bay View and also other points on the lake, so that there.are several thousand persons constantly in attendance. The location is superb, on a bluff two hundred feet high, with an unbroken view of the lake as tar as vision can reach, and half a dozen other resorts in sight In all- our journeyings we found no place so cool. The air as it comes sweeping over the lake is like a tonic and when night falls we are amazed to find how fresh and vigorous we still feel. And such sleep, so sound, so healthful, so refreshing, with the wind singing through the trees and the waves making endless music upon the shore. Here are three hundred beautiful cottages ranging in prico from $5000, down. I attended a reception in the most elegant of these, owned by J. W. Moon, of Mtiskegan, bi-mtllionairo and president of the Board of Trustees. It was given to ministers and their wives and I received an invitation. From dome to terrace the house was ablaze with Chinese lantorns and the Interior was a bower of ferns, "cftt-tails" and golden rod which reach their highest perfection in northern Michigan.

The superintendent of this assembly is John M. Hall, of Flint, Mich., a man possessing all the qualities requisite for such an undertaking, earnestness, sincerity, perfect Integrity and wonderful executive ability. Tho session just closed has been a marked success, with a programme as fine for its length as may be had at Chautauqua, with Frances E. Willard, Dean Wright, Homer B. Sprngtic, Wallace Bruce, John DeWitt Miller, A. A. Willits and mauy other distinguished lecturers and educators. Speakine- Wallace reminds me of* Huh incident.

One can scaroeiy oeiteve to see Otoce 1 twnitlfnl wares, dancing and sparkling

and dimpling in the sun that they can rise up in their might and carry destruction and death iu their embrace. We retired one night with the stars shining in the clear sky overhead and the lake shimmering like another sky beneath. About two o'clock I began to bear all sorts of nt range noises but I supposed it- was that same man that I had heard trying to got into the house for a quarter of a century. Presently thejr grew louder and people began stirring about the Hall cottage, and in a few minutes everybody was rushing around in wild confussion and still wilder attire. A cyclone was upon us. Shutters began to fly the iron flag staff snapped off tho cracking of trees was heard in every direction as they came crashing to the earth. The wind rushed into a large pavilion that formed so delightful a reception room in the front part of tho cottage and the fastnings began to give way. The superintendent is six foot, four inches high and he was equal to the occasion. He sprung into the tent and began holding it down by main force. Several of the maiden ladies flew wildly from the scene. In the dim light they thought it was a two-masted vessel, with canvas spread, that had blown in from the lake. The married ladies calmly remained and helpod hold down the tent, while his wife, with that rare presence of mind for which women are distinguished in timo of supremo danger, brought in the forgotten garment which enabled him to reef his sails and weathor the storm. (We have to use these nautltical terms up here on the water, you know.)

V,*

In other parts of tho grounds theie was great destruction. People in tho tents fled in crowds to the amphitheater, without waiting to dress. The escape from death was almost miraculous. Twenty-five or thirty large trees hHd been uprooted, falling across the tents, crushing beds, furniture and dishes into splinters. I was particularly interested in one scene among many. A newly married couple, full of romance, had come up to enjoy their honeymoon in a tent. The tent had disappeared into space and they sat on the ground, huddled under an umbrella, the picture of despair. Their bed and bedding were soaked through, their few clothes were wet and dirty, dishes broken, shattered branches and debris over everything. They were very young, they didn't know where'to commence to straighten up and they looked as if they would rather see their respective mothers than to enjoy iHjh other's socioty, wlth cygjoiies

Tho hotels at Bay View while not strictly first class aro very good for the price, ten dollars a week. Tlte waiters {belong to that sex whose tongues are said to. be unusually glib but the way )they rattle off the bill of fare would ake a French woman envious. One ay when the speed was a little more remarkable than usual I looked around and discovered that our waiters had written the menu for that meal. After dinner, thinking she would have no further use for It, I appropriated it and here it is without the change of a letter:

Tapoca pudlng rosbury and punkin pie Harbor Springs, op tho opposite side of the bay, is interesting chiefly because It is the site of one of the original Father Marquette missions, and on tho very spot where, two hundred years ago, the little cedar bark cabin stood, in an oldfashioned, wooden church, the Indians hold services every Sunday. Wo went over to see them several times and to visit their giant burying ground found so much of interest hero that I shall try to embody It in a separate ar tide if ever the leisure to do so presents itself.

I know of no more delightful place to spend a few weeks "than tho Island of Mackinaw. Nino miles in circumference and three hundred feet high, it rises up out of the waves where the mighty waters of lakes Superior, Michigan and Huron coma together. Every foot of ground is historic. It has been Occupied by Indians, French, English and Americans, snd has 3ffn the scene of several noted massacres and bit ties.

So they do, but they do not cure to repeat tho experiment We d|d it, and were photographed as aa awful example. Ju.st as iho ariist took off the little brass cup, one gciitlcmnn, a. stranger, began to slip, and to savo himself, grabbed me by the shoulder, and at that instant we were immortalised by the camera.

One bright mind of our party conceived the idea that it would l»o charming to get a boat and sail around tho, island, so wo engaged atypical sailor, old and weather-boaten, chewed tobacco and gave his trousers a hitch when ho walked, and charged two dollars an hour for his boat. We started off gaily, sails* spread, wind fine, crowd jolly. We got about half way around the Island, struck a dead calm and there we lay for two hours, the boat rocking steadily from side to side. Here I had my first experienco in sea-sickness! The wholo party suffered' more or less, although some of them had crossed the Ailantlo without any such trouble. Three or four at the same time were looking over the sides of tho vessel to aeo how deep the lake was. The gentlemen produoed mysterious looking pouches and flasks. Ssvoral of the ladies with a sublimo disregard for appearances stretchod out full length on the bottom of the boat. I didl not come quite so low as that, but the last I remembor, as I lay all In a heap on a seat, was wishing some lady who could hold hor head up would pull my dress down over ray feet. When I regained consciousness tho sailors had rowed ashore and somebody was helping mo out. Tho next day whenevor I sat down in a rocking chair I got up and I gave away a pa-s I had to g» by wator from Mackinaw to Cleveland.

This brings us to Chautauqua, and the length of this lottor prevents any oxtended notice of this remarkab!e planej It has been so fully written up that everybody is familiar with it. There ar® about forty Torre Haute people here» Those who have finished the four years' C. L. 8. C. course and graduate In the "Pansy'' class of '87, aro Mrs. I). Q» Oreiner, Mrs. M. H. Dlall, Mrs. J. W» Greene and Mr. I. H. C. Royse, Tholatter gentleman has charge of the magnifl* cent decorations in tho amphitheatre. I am writing this on ''Recognition''or Commencement day, the grand culminating evont of the season. Bands are playing, the great organ pealing, a procession of students, gradufites and alumni, four abreast and nearly a mile lonf, Is marching through the'evorgresu arches and the goldsn gates. Banners aro fiying, .handkerchiefs waving and hundreds of white-robed, oak-crowned little children are strewing flowers. Crowds and crowds of people, pouring in from every train and boat, no place to oat or sleep, everything packed to overflowing. What is to be the future of Chautauqua is one of the problems. It Is the greatest educational movoment of tho century, and is assuming such proportions as to arouse much speculation. Tho general opinion is that It will result in a permanent Chautauqua University, which has always been the ambition of Its fouuders. Certain it is that the mind which could originate and carry out so colossal st scheme as tills, will not be wanting In the force to bring it to perfection and permanence, and if John H. Vincent lives the problem will bo solved.

.* "THE OLD MOTHER." Atlanta Constitution. He was about to die for a cold-blooded mnrder. Standing beneath the gallows he made a short talk. He spoke of his impending death with slight omolion.
