TERftE HAUTE, JAN. 18, 1890.
AN AIlISTOCRATIC DISEASE. Is '-La Grippe" a disease of the nobility? In Europe, at least, the indications seem to point that way. The first news of tbo disorder came from the Czar's palace at St. Petersburg. The Russian autocrat and his court had it. Then it jumped oyer to Franco and Germany and the nobility of those countries took to it as kindly as their northern neighbors had done. In the United States "the grip," as its Democratic name has become, has not had much to do with the nobility, mainly perhaps because there isn't any nobility here to speak of. Still it seems to be true that even in Democratic America the disease has been more prevalent among the professional and mercantile classes than among manual laborers.
It would be an interesting medical inquiry whether the grippe, like the gout, Bright's disease and some others, does not have its origin, or at least its main support, in the indolence, high living and luxurious habits of the European nobility. We know that lack of proper exercise, the eating of rich food, wine drinking, irregular hours and a round of immoralities and vices for which the nobility is unfortunately noted, are sure to weaken the physical powers and cause the system to be filled with all manner of Impurities, which, if they do not engender disease, give it an entrance into the system and furnish it fuel to feed upon. In European court circles this tendency is aggravated by the continuous intermarriage of the same families, thus preserving and developing the seeds of disease that have come down through a long line of ancestors. "La Grippe" may or may not be the outcropping of some such taint in the blood. At all events it seems to be on decidedly familiar terms with the nobility and high-livers.
CALVIN 8. BRICK.
It does
not seem, on close inspection,
that the career of Calvin S. Brice, the new Democratic Senator from Ohio, has been of skyrocket character popularity supposed. He has been depicted as a country school teacher who sprang at once from a poor man to a millionaire through a series of remarkable railway manipulations.
This picture requires a good deal of filling in. Mr. Brice did teach school at one time, it is true, but only for a short time and to tide over emergencies in the period of his law studies. For the rest of tho story he left college to go to the war and after coming homo graduated from tho law department of tho Michigan University. Then, wi another young man, he opened a law office in Lima, O and swung their shingle to the breeze. The young lawyers worked hard and gradually grew into a practice. Brice had the shrewd gift of money making which few men possess. lie mado investments in real estate and other things which proved successful. He was besides a financial schemer—an organizer of companies and corporations. Whether honestly or dishonestly, he had come Into possession of considerable property before venturing into railroads at all. The great bulk of his vast fortune came from his grand
coup d'etat
in the Nickel Plate railroad, but there were years of plain prose and plodding back of all that—years of preparation for the vast financial arena In which he subsequently became distinguished. Mr. Brice has been termed "a rainbow chaiser." In the light of events the name seems singularly inappropriate. The junior Senator from Ohio has caught anything but rainbows. Having gathered'millions in his business operations, he has been successful enough iu politics to capture a United States Senatorship at the age of 45. It has fallen to the lot of few men to be more practically successful than that.
TNR PAYS 1 HAT ARE. This is an age and a country of unrest. The most discontented people that ever walked tho earth are the Americans of the Nineteenth century. In one sense this is woll enough. Things are not so good that we ought not to wish and make thorn better. There are many wrong* that need to be righted. The discontent which is of a large and public kind takes place.
But there is a personal and private discontent that is destructive to comfort and happiness. Nothing is so good as a restful disposition. To work and wait and trust is the lesson which the years teach us to enjoy the day wo have for all it is worth is to make life long and fruitful of happiness. Folly's crown of folly Is to postpone our enjoyment of life Jor a year or for ten years. We may not live till then or if vre do we may have lost the disposition for enjoyment* The thing we cultivate day by day la the thing we gmw in. If we cultivate patience, love, hope, a disposition to be easily pleased, we remain young, bright, happy, without regard to years. If we cultivate a morose, grumbling, soer temper, the years soon come in which we can truly aay that we hare no pleasure in them. We then think of the days that were a# having been fuller of enjoyment but they were not. We aee the green spots In them from the distance,
that is all. If we use them right the days that are are the best days, for all the experience of the past lies behind
to enrich them". This charming little

shall have accomplished this thing or new play, Kay, which
formed, and will grow upon us. Enjoy ment connists..-very little in what one has or does not have. A beggar has often been happier than a prince. Happiness Is a temper, a state of mind, a thing hardly at all dependent on possessions. It is within the reach of all, like the air, the sunshine and the sky. Nature suffers no monopoly of her good things.
STORY OJb AN AFRICAN FARM. One of the much-talked of books of recent fiction is that of Olive Schreiner under the above caption. A reading of the booK does not justify the notoriety it has gained. The author is certainly a writer of unusual power and may in the future do some valuable work in the field of letters. But just as certainly she has not done it in the present instance. The book is crude, disjointed and apparently aimless. Indeed aimlessness seems to be one of the distinguishing features of the modern novel. This story gives the reader the impression of a liodge podge of juvenile fancies and morbid ideas which have been saved up to dump upon the world through the medium of a novel. Some of these notions are striking and evince a good deal of imagination but many of them are coarse, extravagant and morbid, very much such as have come to most persons in the days of their callow youth, but have been discarded as worthless rubbish when feelings and judgment have ripened.
The aim of the book, if it has any, seems to be vaguely an attack upon religion and tho condition of women. As to the latter, there may have been a time when the caustic reflections of the author were justified. But that time,has passed at least in this country. Few, if any, avenues of employment remain closed to women now. They are doing pretty much everything and can do more if they like. It is easy to slur the man who "has a family, wears a black hat and goes to church twice on Sunday." Yet it costs something and a good deal to do that. It is a great deal easier not to go to church at all, as toc^ many do not. The people who carry on the churches do a vast amount of bard work which the rest of the world get out of. They deserve praise rather than ridicule.
The book is trashy and worthless, if not worse than woi thless. It is a bit of "realism" that comes to nothing, throws no light on the problem of right living and is only another example of morbid introspection of which literature has already too many instances.
Africa bids fair to be the scene of remarkable industrial activity within the next few years. The the dark continent was considered inhabitable and worthless. The more

Gov. Campbell, of Ohio, in his inaugural message, commended the Indiana system of supplying school books by the State, going so far as to advocate the furnishing of free text books for all the public schools. The Governor's suggestion has received favorable notice from the press. School houses and teachers are furnished free and why should the line be drawn at the text books, without which the rest is of no avail?. It is argued that the State can furnish books in a wholesale way much cheaper than the people can furnish them individually and as a part of the necessary appliances of the schools they should be supplied along with buildings and teachers.
Thk sudden death of Walter Blaine, on Wednesday evening, brought sadness into a very hanpy home. He was the oldest son of Secretary and Mrs. Blaine, and was born In Augusta, Me. in May, 1855. He was a brilliant young man and a valuable assistant to his father in his official duties. Death resulted from pneumonia brought on by exposure after an attack of la grippe.
It is announced that the South Carolina strawberry crop is nearly ready for market. They are too precious to eat in the land of their nativity and are sent north to be sold to those who are able to pay to hear Patti sing,

HELD BY THE ENEMY,'
Only words of highest praise have ever been spoken of William Gillette's famous war play, "Held by the Enemy," rvhich is to be seen here at Naylor's on Wednesday evening, January 22d.
The story of the play is one of the brighter threads running through the somber wool of the civil war. There is a dash and spirit to it that holds the interest from beginning to end. The audience laughs, often immoderately, and again the more susceptible to pathetic scenes are moved to tears. There are climaxes that buret forth in a spirit of patriotism and true devotion, awakening the deepest admiration in the auditor, whose heart responds to the inspiring call of noble sentiments. Pathos and comedy run band in hand. The heart is thrilled with a noble sympathy and one's whole being is wrought up to a hign pitch, when, like a cooling breeze in the summer sun, comes a shower of comedy that carries the audience away in the most happy and pleasant thoughts while they laugh with redoubled energy and the tear-stained eyes sparkle anew with merriment. It is this wonderful interlacing of the pathetic^ the patriotic and the humorous, that makes the production a literary gem worthy of the highest honor. No one is "starred" in the cast

Lost Found," by the pupils
of Mrs. Adylotte, was in many, respects a successful and creditable one. The play, while not burdened with a very complicated plot, gave opportunity for the introduction of a great many characters, and in nearly every instance these were very well taken. It was the first appearance of the greater portion of the cast, and the ease and familiarity of the young ladies on the stage was surprising. The ^characters of Mrs. Cashmere, by Nellie Hensel Louise, by Stella Lints Topsy, by Annie Comediette Crazy Mag, by Eva Danifels Clarissa, Snapham, by ThenaSmith Kitty, by Pearl Robinson, and^Irs. Lorain, by Hattie Gott, were the leading ones r.ud were well interpreted. The "Girls of the Society," Agnes Ronan, Pearl Poths, Jennie Russel, Emnia Sylces, Alice Pinder, Ollie McFarland and Mary fluramiskil, did not enjoy such prominence but nevertheless did their parts very creditably. The little children were the favorites during the entire play. Their acting iu the second scene was surprisingly good and very enjoyable. Some were almost too small Lo be out alone, but even these talked so they could be distinctly heard and won loud applause. The song by three little girls was cute and very delightful. The success of the performance is quite a compliment to ^rs/Adylotte, and she is deserving of it, for her pupils gave evidence that she has worked very hard in carefully developing the ability which they undoubtedly possess. The attendance was excellent, filling both first and second floors of the opera house. _A
