TERRE HAUTE JAN. 7, 1892,
CHICAGO complains of a scarcity of boga this season, which causes the re mark that no matter how great the fall ing off Chicago still has more than her «hare.
WHEN it has been definitely settled who will get the federal appointments hereabouts, the Democratic leaders will probably condescend to consult Mr. Cleveland, and may, possibly, take his advice.
POOR marksmen should never engage in dueling, as it encourages a bad practice. In every duel which occurs one or both the principals should be killed. That being the case there would be fewer broils, and such a farce as that which occurred in France the other day would be unknown.
WESTERN KANSAS and Oklahoma had an old time blizzard this week which has not been equalled in that country since 1886. Down in the cattle country the loss has been immense, and the suffering of the early settler is such as to shake his faith in the future greatness of the undeveloped wilderness.
CHOLERA has taken a fresh start in Hamburg, and there is every reason to belleye ihat the scourge will be worse in Europe next summer than it was last fall. Now is the time for this country to adopt precautionary measures. The How of European travel to this country this year will be unprecedented, and unless the most heroic measures are adopted and rigidly enforced it will be impossible to keep out the dread disease.
THE distribution of the electoral vote has been settled at last, and will show: Total number of vot03, 114 necessaty to a choice, 233. Cleveland, 276: HarriHon, 114 Weaver, 24. Cleveland's ma jorlty, 108. It Is said that two of the Democratic electors elected in Illinois are ineligible, but this would make lit tie diftoretice, as Cleveland's majority would still be huge enough for all practical purposes.
IN order that all doubt might be removed Jerry Simpson has announced that he is a candidate for the United States senate, and is now on the ground at Topeka, Kan., nursing his inoipient 'boom. This is the strongest reason yet why the Republican and Democratic members of the Kansas legislature should unite on some good man, regardless of politics, to succeed Senator Perkins. Anything or anybody would be preferable to tlio Slnipsorflan nonentity
AN improbable story came from Washington this vvoek, that President Harrison has entered the race as a presidential candidate for 189(5. The report. says that, with Blaine, Sherman and McKiniey out of thew iy Mr. Harrisoti t.-ousuiers him^olf the Under of his purty, and after his retirement will ondeavor to assumn that role. The proba bi'ity iv that tho president will do nothing of the kind. Being a man of sense he knows that the proper time to quit is lien he has had enough, and enough he has certainly had.
TICK alleged diamond fields in Idaho turn out to be a fake of the tirst water. It ha* been discovered that every diamond found there had first been put in the earth lW the tinder, who hoped to draw thousands there who would pay liberally for pointers. The drawing quality of the fake was a success. Several hundred went out, and it Is reported several have died from hunger aud exposure. It is needless to say that those who invented the swindle got away, while their victims were left to sutler.
SfARCKi.Y a day passes without tuning up »om./thing new. The latest novelty has been discovered in Maryland, and in the shape of a man who claims to -have saved the battle of Gettysburg. He has been rather bnckward about coming forward, and his Identity would doubtless have remained in obscurity at this late day hstd it not b«en for an account -which he has just presented against the government. It is for the modest sum of for. JV* he says, "property destroyed fur me by the rebel aiders and abetters, in Woodsborough, Frederick

AN "anti-trust" distilling company has been organized in St. Louis with a capital stock of ?100,000. Its object is to manufacture whisky and take advan tage of the high prices to which that ar ticle has been forced by the trust. So at Naylor's. The piece is fuljl of excitelong as the truwt keeps up the price all ment from beginning to endj apd thea will be well, but when it commences to ter goers who like the sensational will squeeze the new concern, the chances find plenty of it in "The Police Patrol." are that the latter will willingly be- The company is entirely adequate.to the come a confiding part of that which i!. demands of the piece. organized to defeat.

MEXICO is preparing to profit by the proposed law restricting immigration to this country, should it pass congress and receive the signature of the president. Several of the states of the sister republic are preparing to send immigration commissioners to Italy, Sweden, Ger manv and Ireland. Several of theSouth American governments are takiug steps in the same direction, and if this country closes its doors on foreigners it can be readily *een that there are other desirable portic-ns of the earth where they will be made welcome, and where in time their enterprise and thrift will develop formidable rivals to this country in the agricultural and manufacturing world.
AMUSEMENTS.
NATOBAT. OAS.
Donnelly fe Girard, the popular comedians, famous throughout the length and breadth of the American*Union as Whirlem O'Rourke and Christopher Bluff, appear at Naylor's to-night pre senting that cleverest and jolliest of all farce-comedy successes, "Natural Gas." Donnelly and Girard are at the front rank among the most popular and gifted of the younger generation of American comedians. "Natural Gas" has always drawn packed houses every place, and is as full of fun as It is possible for a performance to be. It is a vanisher. of the blues and antidote for melancholy a specific cure for gloom. It ha^ played everywhere this season to crowded house* in all parts of the country, and it may be confidently expected to draw the same large aud enthusiastic audience.
THE VOODOO.
Hard as it would seem to the theatregoer of to day for an author to be able to strike a new vein for a musical comedy, the feat has been accomplished by F. S Gibbs, a prominent journalistof Detroit. The piece te called "The Voodoo, or A Lucky Charm," and was procured by Frank W Sanger and Gus Bothnor, who gave it a trial season which was so successful that a splendid company was at once eugaged aud the piece started off with a boom. It has scored from the start an emphatic success, everywhere presented. The celebrated Iri^h comedian, Thomas E. Murray, has won for himself fresh laurels through his clean performances of an eccentric Irish com edy part entitled, "Michael,Mo Vlahon,' an easy-going father of an educated and refined family. The piece is based on the credulity of a woman addicted to to superstition, and through her cilnrts to obtain a lucky charm by which she hopes to secure wealth and affluence, arise the comical situations and laughable climaxes which have made the piece such a great go. "The Voodoo," will be presented at- Naylor's Monday evening.
THE POLICE PATROL
On next Thursday evening, January 12ib, the sensational comedy drama, The Police Patrol," will hold the boards
ACROSS THE POTOMAC.
War dramas are always popular with large number of citizen-*. They lik^ the stirriugsoeues incident to strife and battle. Mimic fighting seems to bj relished, and the patriotic speeches, love episodes with rugged Surroundings and brave deeds and stirring climaxes strike responsive chords. It has been so from the time "The Drummer Boy," the pioneer war drama, enlisted the interest and suggested the possibilities irt this field of theatrical entertainment. Last season the latest of war dramas, entitled "Across the Patomac," had a successful run in New York, and it began this sea son auspiciously in the Boston theater. It will be presented at Naylor's on Sat urday evening, Jan. 14th, by Piton's company of players, including Boyd Putua n, Chas. F. Go't ioid, Henrietta Linder, Vivian Edsall, Ada Dwyor and others. The seat sale opens on Thursday morning at Button's.
THEODORE THOMAS.
The treat in store for the lovers of fine music iu Terre Haute next Tuesday evening is one of the rarest which has ever been offered here. The sale of seats for the Thomas concert opened yes ter day morning and was gratifyingly large All the Indications point to one of the finest audiences ever assembled in the Navlor opera house, one worthy of the magnificent concert which will be given. Musical people in Terre Haute and in all the towns about in realize that the com ing of the Thomas Orchestra to this place —the only city in Indiana before which this superb organization will appear this season—is an unusual treat and one of which they should take advantage. Toe scale of prices, considering the size of the orchestra and the great expense of bringing it here, is very moderate. For the first floor the price will be $2, for th»» Becond floor (the family circle) $1 for the third floor (gallery) 50 oents. The indications are that standing room will be at a premium. Persons desiring reserved seats should not fail to secure them at ouce.

Tlioreau's Tribute to Miss Emerson. In Thoreau's journals sometimes portraits are sketched—as, for example, in November, 1851, thatrof Miss Mr.ry Emerson, the aunt and early inspire? «.f -Emerson, the poet» Although a religious person, of the old fasbioTiiui. Unitarian faith, Afis« Emerson 'took the greatest, interest in Thoreau and deserves the compliment which he here pays her. He says in his journal: ,,
The wittiest and most vivacious woman I know—certainly that woman among my acquaintance whom it is most profitable to meet the least frivolous, wh.o will most surely provoke a good conversation. Ifc is perhaps her greatest praise and peculiarity that she, more surely than any other woman, gives her carapanion occtision to utter his best thought. In spite of her own biases she can entertain a large thought with hospitality, and she is not prevented by any intellectuality in it, as women commonly are. Thus she is capable of a masculine appreciation of poetry and philosophy.
In short, she is a genius, as woman seldom is, reminding yoa less often of her sex than any woman whom I know. I never talked with any other who I thought accompanied me so far in describing a poetic experience. Miss Fuller is the only other I think of in this connection, and of her rather from her fame than from my knowledge of her. Miss Emerson expressed tonight a singular want of respect for her own sex, saying that they were frivolous almost without exception that woman was the weaker vessel, etc., and that into whatever family she might go she depended more upon the clown for society than upon the lady of the house. Men are more likely to have opinions of their own.
A Delsarte Suggestion.
"If you have never done so, watch yourself go to sleep," says a Delsarte priestess, "and you will be amazed to see haw tense your position is. Your knees are drawn and bended, your back is curved, the arms are held more or less tightly to the body and the fingers are folded the eyelids are held shut, not allowed to droop over the eyes, the neck is strained, and the head seems to touch the pillows only at the temples. The points of contact with the bed are really only at temples, shoulders, hips, knees aud ankles. "Now look at a child sleeping.' Every muscle is relaxed, every joint is inert and prone on the couch his little frame finds rest at every point. The features are undone, so to speak, the nose widens, ths mouth droops, the eyelids close easily, and with every line of expression obliterated he finds utter and completej repose. That abandon makes him fall out of bed sometimes, such an inert body has he become. You may imitate him even to thatdegi*ee if necessary. Begin at your toes to relax, loosen all your joints and muscles, unbend your fingers, shake your wrists loose, take the curve and strain out of your neck, go to pieces in fact, and see how the day's fatigue seems to slip off from you and the gentle mantle of rest and oblivion enfold you like a garment."—Buffalo News.
Gloves and Hearts.
Balzac says that woman is a charming creature who changes her heart as easily as her gloves. Well, why shouldn't she? The gloves would wear out if they weren't changed, and- so Would the heart, and then think how necessary it is to wear different gloves with different costumes so why shouldn't the other possession be changed to suit the occasion just as well? A constant rubbing, be it heavy or slight on exactly the same spot, will either wear it out or make it callous so in order to produce new and fresh sensations it is certainly necessary to present a new surface every now and then.
There is a deep method underneath these little eccentricities those great wits of a decade or a century past took such great delight in imputing to us, and the only difficulty is that they are not clever enough often to penetrate to the root of the matter, and perhaps it is just as well for theii complacency that they shouldn't. The only difference is that these wits and poets themselves changed their hearts, or what they called their hearts, as quickly, if not more so, than the feminine scapegoats, and' it is such a nice relief to our own mind (and human nature then and now are not very different) to blame somebody else for our own fault.—Exchange.
Women in Salamanca.
Salamanca has not been unmindfnl of the interests of women, for many years ago an early queen conferred upon tho damsels of some of its principal families the right to ennoble with themselves whomever they might marry. The university, too, used to endow deserving maidens with wedding portions, aud there were women of powerful intellect who rose to the rank of its professors. One of these, Beatriz Galindo, became governess to Isabella, the patron of Columbus. Women's names figure, too, in the lists of holders of scholarships in the old college of San Salvador, from which it would appear that Spanish senoritas are not perpetually draped in coquettish mantillas and dancing to castanets. ^-'New York Sun.
Jiegau After She Was Thirty. One. of the best known portrait painters of Boston is Mrs! Phoebe Jenks, who was past thirty years of age before she discovered that she had either decided taste or talent for painting. In her husband's studio she breathed the intoxicating art atma^phere, sketched a little, studied painting, but never attempted anything herself until one day, trying to reproduce a bunch of flowers that had pleased her, she succeeded so well that art has found in her a most successful as well as devoted disciple, all of which, is encouraging to the hundreds of women who were, as they say, "born too soon," and are thus without aim or occupation in a world so full of opportunity for womankind.
Caroline In the Household. Gasoline will remove spots from the most delicate fabrics and leave no trace behind of its use. It will also renovate feather? and clean the plainest or the richest lace. The lace is plunged into a small pan of gasoline just as one would wash it in water. Gasoline, however, dries almost instantly. It is also a fine thing to use in removing spots from woolen clothing of all descriptions, and from the backs of school girls' waists who wear their hair braicl.d down their backs. Keep far away from the fire when using this liquid.—St. Lanis Globe-Democrat.
Flags in lavatories and ISatlu. Lavatory basins and baths should always 1* kept with the plug down in about two inches of standing water. This is an effectual preventive of noxious gases pervading sleeping rooms, etc. Blood poisonins frequently occurs from neglect of this precaution. Very few people are aware that the most poisonous gases have no apparent smell. so one may bo inhaling them without being conscious of it in any way till too late,—London Tit-Bits.
Kice Grnel.
delicious rice gruel may be made by adding a tablespponful of rioe to three cups of boiling water. When it lias cooked foi three-quarters of an hour a cup of milk is added, with a teaspoonful of salt, and the mixture is boiled for a few minutes longer. Strain the gruel through a puree sieve, pressing through all the rice that will go Lot the gruel boil up for five minutes after it is strained. Add sugar and nutmeg to the taste. Serve it with little slices of brown toast.—New York Tribune.
York's Lady Mayoress.
The lady mayoress of York enjoys the distinction of being the only lady mayoress in England who wears an official chain of office. As far back as the beginning of the Seventeenth century a chain of exquisite workmanship was presented to the wife of the then lord mayor, and ever since that time has been handed on from lady mayoress to lady mayoress as a sign that she, too, has civic duties to perform.—London Tit-Bits.
Dividing the Expense of Wedding. The Philadelphia Ledger thus answers an inquiry from Mary Smith: "The groom pays for opening the church and for the organist's services at wedding, just as he fees the clergyman. If impecunious, sometimes the father of the bride has been known to take the church ceremony's expenses off his hands. The bride, on her side of the house, pays for the cards of invitation or announcement."
Men are not a bit hard to manage, and a tear judiciously used once in awhile is all very well and has a most delightful effect, but let there be more sunshine than shower, as, after all, that is the thing that is not apt to pall upon them.
A portable plate warmer is made of. tinned wire and will hold twelve plates. The body of the rack, which is a stoutly made wire frame shaped like a half circle, rests on four feet and is divided in away similar to a toast rack.
