TERKE HAUTE.

SEPT., 19, 1891.

"Live* of demagogues remind us, we could work the farmers too, if we con science put behind us and kept yawping as they do."

Til* grape crop of France is a failure thin year, and the cider mills of Michigan will furninh the extra dry champagne for many coming moonn.

CHJCAOO elevators have to run night and day to their fullest capacity to handle all the grain which goes through them. It is the

music

of prosperity, and

the country can stand it all the year round. A SUIT of blue jeans one time elected a man governor of Indiana. In Maryland this year the rival gubernatorial candidates nro proving their fitness by a plowing match. A prize light will probably be next in order

THK conduct of the Mormon mission

aries

has become so outrageous in England that there is serious talk of firing them out of the country. If they could all bo fired out of tho world there would be none to mourn over their going.

A TitAiN on the Now York Central the other day ran 430}*j miles in 440 minutes, including threo stops of fourteen minutes in all. This beats all records, and throws completely in the shade anything

ever

attempted in this line before.

THK tin mines recently opened in South Dakota aro, after a thorough investlgctlon, said to he the richost in the world. Yet the people were told only a short time ago that thero was no tin in this country, and that no tin plate would bo manufactured in tho United Htatos.

IT is to be rogretted that tho state department didn't give O'Donovan Kossa the kind of a passport ho wan tod and let him take his enhances with it in England. If that country had refused to recognize it this country couldn't afford to make any kick. Mr. Blaine's young men neglected golden opportunity.

AI/riiouou Kansas enjoys prohibition in all is pristine splendor, yet tho cold water people are not satisfied, and want to make it an issue In tho next campaign. The people are being interviewed by letter on the subject, and say they prefer to have something fresh. 1 rohibltlon was settled thero long ago, nnd has come to stay, and that's the end of it. _______

Tuosi? follows who are working tho farmers for the money there is In It, and who can't tell the dllVeronee between a plow and a wheelbarrow, will soon be in search of another job. They always hold themselves in readiness for evory change that promises even temporary relief. If there was an extra dollar in it they would be abusing their intended victims as roundly to-morrow as they are praising them to-day.

11K.IU.IN furnishes the Information that a remedy for blood poisoning caused by the bites

snakes and rabid dogs has

been discovered in Africa, by a Dr. Kngltfs, in the "wild growing, black, noble palm." Five hundred negroes bitten bv

poisonous

snakes were treated

with the extract of the noble palm, and four hundred and elfchty-HOven were cured In live dav«. Of sixty seven farmers and negroes bitten by rabid dogs sixtv-Jlve were saved, while two died of weakness. The remedy is Injected under the skin, and causes a moderate fever. On the third day the patient is without fever, swelling and inllamntion of the all'ecu 1 part have disappeared, and on the tKth.or latest, on the seventh day. th«- patient is cured.

mystery OF THK In this new and superbly i! lustra ted work, she world famous Mary A, Lirw*

ull,rf

narrates her personal work and a* a hospital and field nurse

during the war of the rebellion. Mr*, Li vet more spent four yeAf*as a nnt*e to hospital*, camps, at the front, and on I the Hat tie-field, and thes* four 1 were v%ck«4 with pathos, glory mt-

rifice probably never paralleled In the life of any other woman. Her narrative presents a vivid inner picture of the womanly side of war, more especially of her own work and thrilling experiences, with many pathetic and humorous incidents portraying the lights and shadows of hospital life. These are described as only an eye-witness and a tenderhearted woman could describe them.

We regard this splendid book as a wholly unique work, for ifc presents the womanly, or what may very appropriately be termed the heavenly side of the war, and this has never hitherto been written. It lifts the curtain, and shows bow heroic and devoted and blessed her work was. It Is full of tho deepest pathos, the richest humor, the most touching teles, the most stirring anecdotes and incidents, and through the whole runs the story of the adventures and striking experiences of its illustrious author. Stranger stories are here told than romance ever dreamed of. eyery one of them drawn from real life by a woman's hand. Jn every chapter she weaves in anecdote after anecdote, incident arter incident, story after story, and the reader's attention is held breathless to the end of the volume. Should every other book on the war be blotted out of existence, this one would completely reflect the spirit and work of the women of the North. In reading it our eyes were often filled with tears at other times we were convulsed with laughter at its rich humor. Such a work, by so eminent an author, at whose feet hundreds of thousands have sat and listened iu admiration and wonder, whose power, wisdom, influence, and fame are now world wide, is the literary event of our times.

But the illustrations! An able critic recently said, "This is the most richly embellished work ever published in America." We endorse this opinion. There are splendid steel-plate portraits of famous nurses of Union soldiers, and many plates illustrating hospitals scenes and thrilling incidents in a woman's army life. No newspaper description can do these costly plates justice. They must be seen to be appreciated. There are also splendid fac simile plates of famous old battle-flags, lrom photographs and paintings made from the original Hags, printed in sixteen colors from ono hundred and twenty.eight engraved stones. The story of each llag is told, with pathetic incidents attending the death of color-bearers who died under their folds.

The grand volume has no competitor, and we do not believe it can have a rival. If we speak warmly of the book, it is because it richly deserves it. It is sold only by agents, aud is meeting with an enormous sale. Agents who introduce a work of such sterling merit ought to be cordially welcomed. Put it into your homes. It will be read over and over again by old and young, with Increasing ploasuro and lasting profits, and will be prized by all.

It is one of the greatest productions of the stage. It is next to an Impossibility to prevent the piece properly for only one night, consequently the management hare succeeded fn closing a contract for threv nights on guarantee.

POOB JOHN CHINAMAN. The Men's Outfitter, a journal devoted to what is proper in wearing apparel, in an article in a recent number on the Chinese in his method of laundering linen, says: It used to be said that John Chinaman was the truest friend the collar and shirt manufacturers ever had. He could be counted on to damage more collars, cuffs and shirts in the washing than any other known agency.

But John's day of triumph seems nearing its close. Since it has been discovered that several of the Chinamen conducting laundries are afflicted with leprosy a notable falling off in the business of those establishments has* been observed. First New York discovered its leprous laundry man then came Newark, Philadelphia and Pittsburg with ilike announcements. Not to be outdone even in a matter of that kind, Chicago was not long in fishing out its plague-stricken Celestial from the depths of a subterranean laundry and impaling him before the public gaze.

Other cities have yet to be heard from, but it is calculated that lepers in plenty will be found at the wash-tub bofore the agitation subsides. The enemies of John Chinaman have got a firm hold on him at last. He will have to go. Heretofore he has been able to retain his waning influence with the public by means of the unhealthy glitter of bis shirt polish and the unequalled glory of the gloss which he rubbed into the Melikan man's collars and cuffs. Now the tables are turned. The goose that laid the golden egg has got the pip. Not even a Chicago dude is willing to endure the suspicion that the germs of leprosy have been ironed into his shirt. Small pox, yellowfever, la grippe—all these things have their terrors and are known to have made brave men quake with fear yet there is no record tending to show that any of them has ever frightened the starch out of a dude's shirt front. It remained for leprosy—or the fear of it— to encompass that collosal result. The Chinese puzzle has been solved.

There was a very lively row on Main street last evening which attracted the attention of every person within a radius of several blocks, except the police. The crowd had a very riotous appearance to all who approached it, but a closer examination revealed the fact that it was a crowd of excited citizens who were trying to get into Stein fc Heckelsberg's store to secure bargains in shoes, of which they have the finest assortment in town at lowest rates. No. 513 Main street.

Hughes it Lewis, 28 S. Fifth St.

The famous Queen & Crescent route, "The Southern," advertises two homeseekers excursions from Cincinnati and Lexington, on the 15th and 29th of this month, to all points in Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas. Tickets good for thirty days will be sold by agents at oue fare for the round trip, except to Arkansas and Texas points, to which the rate will be one and oue-third fare for the round trip. This is one of the most popular lines in the country, and has earned its reputation honestly. These excursions present a fine opportunity to those who have never visiud the south or who may want to go thero with a view to locating.

A prominent citizen of the south end has been very much annoyed for several months by a young dude who persists in calling on his daughter, much to the old gentleman's disgust. The other night he met Mr. Dude at the door and so completely filled his coat tail with boots that the young man has since been compelled to rest standing. The kicking was so vigorous that had not tho shoes been purchased of of A. H. Boegeman, 104 south Fourth street, who has the best and cheapest in the market, there would have been nothing left of them. ______________

Last nit© one of the deakons of our church dropped in fur a a sochial chat, and of course we got to talkin' of some of the outrageous fashions and follys of the present day. Now the deacon is more set agin them than I be, and he remarked, "I hate to see a woman with rings in her ears they ain't

natural it it was intended for women to wear them, she would have been born with holee in her ears. The first woman did not wear ear-rings I'll be bound!" "No," said I, "nvr nnthin' elveF' Yon jest ought to a seed the deacon blush. He Is PO modest, and seemed so pot oat that I changed the subject and began telling him that E. R. Wright, of the White Front grocery, has to-day the following good things incloodin': Peaches, Grape*, Red Plums* White Clover Honey, Cantelovpem, Cauliflower, Wax Bean*, Egg PlanCOat Flake, tkumaon Plums, Oranges, Pear*, Maple Syrup, Watermelons, Celery. Suing Beans, Green Corn, Parched Farinose, Dreeved Chickens and Ducks, Creamery and Country Batter.

The man who tried to use the city marshal's nose as a groundwork for a pyrotechnic display the other evening distinguised himself on Main street only a half hoor or so before by gathering an immense crowd around the big bear which stands in front of Loeb's hat 8tore. He jnst wanted to tell them that the best and largest assortment of hats in town were on the inside, and that the prices were lower than any other place in town. On investigation the statement was found to be true. No 515 Main street.
