'UKK HAUTE, JUNE 7. 1890.

DOX'T worry aboat tbe corn. It will get there yet. AKTEK receiving some $3,000,000 for Ills various plays, it is stated that in bis old age Dion Boucicault is poor. Dion should have taken some lessons finance from Patti and Emma Abbott.

OF tbe 9,000 manuscripts annually received by the Century magazine, that periodical is only able to publish about 400, a little less than one in twenty. Aspirants for authorship can thus estimate their chances of success.

SAM 8MAI.L, tbe southern evangelist whom Sam Jones brought, into extended notoriety, has been elected president of tbe Methodist University, of Ogden, Utah. The other Sam finds evangelism too profitable to resign for official baublss.

A JfATJONAi society for Christianizing and educating the colored people, has been organized with ex-President Hayes at its bead. Tho country has no more able or earnest man In the lino of reform work than Mr. Hayes, aod it is gratifying to see that ho and the other prominent people associated with him, have taken hold of one of the hardest, as it is one of the most Important, problems of the day.

A iiKADEii of the daily papers might think tlio chief diversion of Americans nowadays was "guosslng." Cash prizes are oflforod for guesses on tho population of tho country and of tho various lti«s, on the standing of tho clubs at tho end of the base ball season and so on ad Infiniteru. The coupons have to bo cut from tho paper ottering the prize and tlu» object of courao is to Increase the sale of the paper. Judging from tho number of these contests they must constitute a popular form of diversion.

SCOBK one for the young German emperor. lie Is not wholly selfish. At any rate bis scheme for bettering the condition of tho laboring people has accomplished something. His two chief recommendations, Sunday rest and shortening the working hours of women and children, have already gone Into operation In all mines and factories owned by tbe State and will soon become laws, with another important addition, viz: that workmen shall not be dincharged without sufficient cause. Some of these points could be adopted with benefit in our own country.

WHEN the monument to Gen. Robert E. Lee was unveiled at Rlohmond the other day, It Is stated that the confeder ate flag was placed in the hands of the statue of Washington, which stands in the same city. It would be hard to imagine anything more Incongruous than that of putting tho emblem of trea Ron in tho bands of Washington to be held aloft by him, but of course nothing treasonable was intondod. It was merely a bit of southern enthusiasm for

uthe

lost cause." Nevertheless it was enough to have provoked a smile ^n tho stony faoo of the Father of his Country.

A SIGNIFICANT sign of the times in the religious world is the subscription by a Hebrew club in Chicago of $27,000 to aid in building the great Baptist university in that city. A few years ago such a thing could not have been thought of, the jealousies between religious sects holding them far asuuder. But a spirit of union now prevails end mutual helpfulness has to a great extent taken the place of dislike aod rivalry. While most people still prefer their particular creed, they are not wedded to it so blindly as to be unable to see what is good in others. And so the religious world Is coming to a better understanding and Is learning to apply the principles which the great Teacher of all laid down,

Wou t:* are watching every opportuuity nowadays to advance tbe Interests of their sex. Au instance is the proposed opening of a new school of medicine at Johns-Hopkins University, The trustees having decided to open tbe school as soon as their finances would allow, a number of prominent women of the country have come forward with an offer to raise $100,000 for tbe school provided it be open to women on the same terms as men. Tho proposition should and probably will be accepted. Female physicians have made their way until there are now over a,000 of them in tbe country. There is no reason why they should not enjoy equal opportunities with t»eo to gain a medical education. That they succeed in this field is tbe best possible evidence of their fitness for it.

Tim census enumerators have beeu on the war path this w#ek and h*v« not 'found the work a sinecure by any mm,ns» Tbey have bad an awful bother witb thick-headed people who bad no* yet learned that eeusu* was to be taken and w&rc indiirusnt at U»e question* propounded to them.

Vould prefer to earn a crust of bread in some other way. But doubtless tbe census will be taken in due form and in due time notwithstanding the opposition of some pig-beaded citizens, as Uncle Sam must have the facts an Uncle Sam usually getajchat.he

after. "ORIGINAL PACKAGES'* The "original package" doctrine of the United States Supreme Court seems destined to have but a short life. By a yote. of 34 to 10 the Senate, last week, passed a bill providing that all such liquor imported from another State shall become subject to the laws of the State into which it is taken. The significance of tbe vote was that no Republican

Senator

voted against it', wbile only five Democrats voted for and ten against it. Both the Senators from this

State were record­

ed in tbe negative. Mr. Voorbees emphasized his opposition by moving to amend tbe title by making it read:

,fA

bill to overrule the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in its interpretation and construction of tbe Constitution on tliosubjectof commerce between tbe several States and thereby to relieve the State of Iowa from tbe consequences of her own misguided legislation."

Now if tbe House shall pass tbe bill, as there seems little doubt it will, tbe business of evading the laws in prohibition States will be brought to a speedy end.

OPEN DOORS.

We have perhaps heard rather too much lately about tbe changed conditions in this country unfavorable to young men of limited means. It is said, aud not without truth, it must be admitted, that poor men are at a greater disadvantage now than in the earlier times when concentrated capital was not so powerful. Then small avenues were open to him which are closed now.

There is truth in this, but after all, now and anytime, a m%n is about what ho makes himsolf. Tho pluck, energy and persistence which won success fifty years ago will win success now if rightly applied. Conditions aredifferentand ways must be different but the essentials of success are as unchangeable as nature. Courage, enthusiasm, indefatigable persistence in a single direction will bring down tbe game sooner or later. Money is powerful but it is not all-powerful. It is weak unless skill and brains are back of it. The man, who has tbe latter can bring money to its knoes before him. Capital doosn't hesitate at the price of a man if only he be the best man.

Take for instance the ^ubject of electricity, destined, it would seem, to be tho future power of the world. Great as its progress has been in the past years its application to tbe useful arts has only begun. Thousands of men are now employed through its agency but these thousands will multiply to millions as the years go on. What great opportunities aro open here to young men who will devote themselves to electrical study. It matters little wliother they have money or not. Edison can command his own price. So can any man who knows more of a thing than other men. Capital bids against capital for such men. There are millions of money but only one Edison. We cannot all be prodigies—nature takes care that they remain few. But many of us can become thorough and competent workmen, can go to tbe bottom of tbe thing we are at and learn to do it better than many others. And even this will insure employment and plenty in almost any line of work.

The Art Amateur coutinues to maintain its high reputation as a practical art magazine and to take the lead, as heretofore, in the special field It has created for Itself. Tho June numler in particular, Is full of valuable and interesting matter, from the title-page, with its attractive frontispiece, "A Yorkshire Terrier—companion to the "Scotch Terrier" of last month—to the correspondence column on its final pages, in which more information is compressed, and of a mom practical character, than is to be found in any band books of instruction on tbe subjects dealt with. The articles in tbe bodv of the magazine on the various arts of book and magazine-illus-trating, oil, water and china painting, wood carving, brass hammering and art needlework are here supplemented by such information on tbe special points of difficulty that may present themselves to the student, as will enable him to attain a satisfactory degree of proficiency in those arts, even without the aid of a teacher* A feature of the magazine worthv of mention is its colored plates, wbteh'are of a remarkable and steadily increasing excellence. Tbe color studies for tbe month are: "Convolvull,*' exquisitely delicate in treatment, and an extra "Panel Study" of blackbirds—the second of a set of three of tbe same kind.

Speaking of th# Russian censorship, Mr.* Oewre Herman, In the May Century, says: "What does tbe Rosaian Government hope or expect to accomplish by •blacking out* articles tbat aim simply to tell the truth with regard to Russian affkirm, and by throwing into prison ererv man in whose possession such arUvles iwajr be foundf "Tbe Russian author Prugavin, In a book tit raa Inadvertantly sanctioned by the censor, but tbat was afterward seized and burned, asks the same at a, and says: *Onn aa Idea be tad«ath? can thought be killed, baited, or annihilated? Are not trutb, and lav*, and justice^ and freedom immortal? Is tbe most terrible of tni*takes to suppose tbi can be crashed. People bare j.. isbed—men have dlcnl it) dmicm and

bodies have decayed, their graves have been lost, and their very names have been forgotten but their ideas and aspirations live on. Washed in the blood of suffering, such ideas and aspirations have become the dream of every man whose brain a thought stirs and in whose breast a bear.t beats.'

"Sometime in the far-distant future the free Russian partriet, no longer blinded by the censorship of the press, will look over the pages of his national history that record tho attempt to gaer public opinion aud strangle human thought, and will wish from the bottom of his heart tbat PO humiliating record might be 'blacked out."
