A I'ot.i. was taken of tho Massachusetts legislature this nook on presidential preferences. IJlaino was the favorite by vote of four to one ovor all candidates.

HINCK two of our alleged war ships oaino to grlttf on tho rocks it has suddenly boon dhcovorod that the coast is not as defenselosB as it was belioved to be, at least when attacked by officers who are nnac|uainted with it.

IT is reported the president will be paiiiod on his western trip by a whole car load of newspaper correspondents. If lie doesn't experience oxciting times it will be because the roporters left their imaginations at homo.

ONE stoamer arrivod in Now York this week with 1,500 Italian immigrants on board. This is a case in which Italy's gain is our loss. With refuse dumped on our shores in such large heaps it is only a wonder that tho New Orloans incident is not of more frequent occurrence.

lli:tiu MOST broke loose again at Pittsburg tne othor day. As usual, the occasion was an anarchist funeral, and ho Indulged in the usual vituperative slang against capital and decency. Most is one of those things which causes some people to seriously doubt tho propriety of his existence.

1AVII» B. Ilti.t, wants it understood that he is uot a free trader. Between his duties of Governor, drawing his salary as I'm tod States Senator and lis desire for a Presidential nomination, no ono supposes that he has much time to devote to the tariff, nor at tho same time does any one care particularly what his views are.

AKTKK an illness of four months l'hineas T. Harnum, tho great showman. died at his home in Bridgeport, Conn., last Tuesday evening at the advanced rfgo of eighty years. One of his last requests was that his funeral, unlike his life, should bo plain and without any show, and his wishes in this reSJHHH were carried out yesterday.

THK saying that some men can take a hint without being knocked down doesn't apply to Mr. Charles Stewart rarnell, who in addition to being knocked down several times has like wise undergone the formality of being dragged out. He still considers himself In tho ring, however, and the knocking down will continue until Mr. Parnell departs for the heated term on the other shore. vsr Monday was census day in England. The entire enumeration was coin pleted within the twenty-four hour*,the count being of the persons who slept in or were upon any resiaenoe or premises in the various districts. The count is made by the police, who are all under the control of the crown in that conn try, and whose qualifications render them useful as well as ornamental in the line of dtitv.

THK death roll in Ch.cago for March reached the startling figure of 3,200, the I largest number during any month in tho history of the city. The health commissioner says the deaths were principally among new-comers, but as tho report contains the names of many •of this city's oldeet and beat known in-,

habitants this statement will hardly hold good. La grippe- its attendant' complications is the only explanation offered of the terrible fatality. Daring the past few weeks Chicago has gained a very unenviable reputation as mortality center.

SENATOR GEORGE F. EDMUNDS has re signed his seat in the United States senate after representing Vermont in that body twenty-Ave years continuously. In his retirement the country loses the services of a thoroughly capable and strictly honest man, and his State the best representative it has ever had. There are seyeral candidates for the po sition, but it seems to be gonerally con ceded that Secretary Red field Proctor will be the successful man.

WHILE

the authorities in Washington

are endeavoring to settle matters with the Italian government, the American people are informed that Italian subjects in Canada are seriously considering the propriety of making a descent upon New Orleans, with 20,000 men. course such talk is all nonsense, and causes no alarm. Incidentally, how ever, it might be remarked that John Chinaman isn't the worst portion of the foreign population with which thecoun try has to deal. It the sons of the flowery kingdom are prohibited from landing on American soil, why should not the Poles, Slavs, Huns, Molly Maguires and kindred spirits be prohibited likewise? In drawing the lino it was hardly fair to draw it on the inoffensive Chinaman, while the scum of other nations is given the freedom of the land, and when called to account for his crimes is made an international affair.

BLAINE'S OPPORTUNITY. Since the commencement of the Italian trouble Mr. Blaine has established for himself a reputation which his most ardent admirers never believed he would achieve, The wisdom and moderation displayed by him has been a pleasing surprise to his friends while it has fallen like a pall over the hopes of those who confidently believed he would blunder. Blaine's weakness before the people was a fear that his foreign policy would be too American, and that his ultra views on the subject of a foroign policy would cause trouble between this aud other nations. That these fears were groundless has now been proven. Ten days ago it looked very much as though this country could not avoid serious trouble with Italy. The relations were such that an injudicous word indiscreetly spoken would have resulted in an open rupture. But Secretary Blaine was equal to the occasion, and has not only brought his country out of the difficulty with flying colors, but has made the would be Italian bully the laughing stock of the nations of the earth. Even tho democratic and Mugwump press have felt compelled to praise the secretary for the tact and skill displayed in

Iiis management of the affair. Mr, Blaine has done remarkably well for a sick man. As a presidential candidate he continues to gain strength daily, and from present appearances he will be the only possibility in his party next year, Booms may come and Booms may go, but Blaine will go on while he lives.

AMUSEMENTS.

FRANK t.INDON TO-NIGHT.

The Frank Lindon company will present "The Ticket of Leave Man," at Nayior's to-night, closing their engagement. Tho company has given general satisfaction and a crowded house is an assured fact. Popular prices of ad mis sion, 10, 20 and 30 cents.

CliAS. A. GARDNER.

The sweet singer, Chas. A. Gardner, and an excellent company, will appear at Nayior's on Monday evening, in his new comedy, "Fatherland," a romantic aud picturesque drama of life in the Tyrol. The plot is founded on the daring deeds of Herman Leopold, a Tyrolean peasont, who saved a number of lives during the flooding of a valley in the region oast of Innsbruck, in Tyrol, in 1886. The bravery of the guide received the commendation of the authorities, who presented him with a testimonial, on his refusal to accept a presont of money, and the peasants in his native village added to his reward by making a hero of him. This, with the abduction of his sweetheart and her subsequent restoration to him, form the story which has been dramatized, and it aot only affords the opportunity for a romantic and realistic play, but gives Mr, Gardner the opportunity for presenting several original and interesting songs "The Lilac" is a pleasing little harmony la the saongerfest, fourth act, a genuine Tyrolean quartette is introduced. Taken altogether "Fatherland" is a very meritorious play aad one that deserves sue cess. The cast is a stroag one. Mr. Gardner has long been considered one of Terre Haule's favorites and he wUl, no doubt, receive a hearty welcome on Monday evening.

JOHN SlTliLTVASt COMING. The noted pugilist^ John L. Sullivan, will make his first appearance as a star in this city on next Tuesday evening, appearing in Dnncan B. Harrison's new play, "Honest Hearts and Willing Hands," an Irish comedy in four acts. This engagement is what might be termed a decided novelty. The play is said to contain merit and is given by a capable company. It is safe to predict that th* house will be crowded. There will be no increase in prices.

THK CLKMKXCKATT CAS*.

This much talked of play will be presented again at Nayior's next Thursday evening by a Strang company. The advance sale begins Tuesday. Regular prices.

COATE8 COTXIBOB OCNCKRT, The last concert of the season in the Coatee College oonrse will he given in

the Central Presbyterian church next Thursday evening by the Bernhardt Listemann club of Boston, which is said to be the finest in the country. The club includes in Its string quartette Bernhard Listemann as first violin Fritz Listemann, viola, and Fritz Giese. violincello —all musicians of fine natural abilities, high training, and, in the case of the elders of the group, long study and public performance. The flutist of the club is F. Rucquoy. Mr. Listemann played on this occasion Vieuxtemps violin concerto, No. 5, and played it with brilliancy and a noble tone, and generally with the degree of c«minand over his instrument which he is wont to display. In the favorite fantasia, variations on "O Cara Memoria," a very superior sort oi cello performance came from Mr. Giese. BERNHABDT's INDIANAPOLIS ENGAGB-

MENT.

Sarah Bernhardt, the greatest actress of the age, and, in all probability, the greatest actress of any age, will play at Indianapolis, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, April 14 and 15, presenting Victorean Sordou's two greatest plays, "Fedora" and "La Tosca," with the same cast and scenie accessories as are employed in New York. The advance sale of seats will begin on Monday morning, April 6. From present indications the demand will be the greatest ever known for au amusement event in that city. When a woman arrives at the unquestionable distinction of bei&g the greatest actress in the world, there is, naturally enough, a very strong desire to see her, especially when that woman is Bernt^ardt, who has been more written and talked about than any other actress of her day. The company will go there by special train from Detroit, and go from there to St. Louis. The local manager in the latter city offered Dickson fc Talbott $1,000 to cancel her engagement here, so that she could play there longer, but the offer was declined. Seats can be secured in advance for the Bernhardt performances by writing or telegraphing Dickson and Talbott. Reduced railroad rates, to and from Indianapolis, can be secured by parties of ten or more by applying to the local agent.

THE MELVILLE SISTERS.

This popular company will commence a week's engagement here on the 20th. Of a recent performance the Muncie Daily News says of then*:

Last night every available foot of space in Wysors opera house was filled by the mass of humanity that gathered to witness the first performance of a week's engagement of the Melville Sisters. The company Is an unusu ally strong one for a repertoire party and they made a most favorable impression up: on the audience. Bartley Campbell's ever lilted "Divorce" was the bill and the play was mounted, costumed and preformed In a manner that showed every member of the party au artist. The Melville sisters afe artiste of ability.

Tho old Kussner property, opposite the court house, on Ohio street, has been purohased by Mrs, J. E. Kussner for $16,500. It embraces a little over seventy-one feet, west of the old bank building, and includes the two story brick business house, which cost $10,000 a number of years ago.
