TERRE HAUTE, IND., SEPT. 0,1883.

LAST year the cigarette smokers of tbia country paid into the United States treasury over two million dollars for the luxury of their fad. Statistics do not ghow bow much their families paid to tbe undertakers.

GOVEBMOB ALTOKLD says thereare idiot fifty anarchists in the State of Illinois. Tbe governor ougbt to know, but be probably made bis count before that celebrated atump-apeech letter of bis, and it is not bis fault if tbere are n«t more there.

THK news comes this week that Emin Pasha, the celebrated African explorer, bas been killed and devoured by the jangle warriors, but be has been killed ao often, and as often restored to life, that the public may well take the story with a large sized grain of allowance.

HAMILTON FWI^ who was Secretary of of Stpte during tbe preaidency of Geo. Grant, died Thursday at tbe advanced age of eighty-five years. He was Grant's most intimate and trusted friend and adviser, and bis peaceable death finishes career that was notable in Tnany respects. |I| THE Governor's decisive action caused '"the abandonment of tbe prize fight at

Kobey last Monday night, and the ath%|l,l0tlc association has been placed in tbe hands of receiver. The oourts will |||§now decide whether or not Indiana ffilBOii is to be set Apart for prize fights. the governor taken this stand at the #||8tart, the matter would probably have been settled before this, and the stigma j^,Cwould never have attached itself to

CHAIRMAN CARTKK, of the Republican ^-National committee, is out iu an inter!il|'view giving his ideas of the business ^situation. If this distinguished gentleman will hie himself to some deep, dark cavernous place, and there remain forever burled, he will confer a lasting favor on a great many people who look upon him as a vastly overrated man.

What he thinks of the business situation is of little moinenu I

THK Irropresnlbte John J. Iu gal Is is again to the front, and has declared himself as a candidate for governor in the next race in Kansas, and will use the oMce, if be Is successful, as a means of regaining his seat in the Senate to succeed the bewhlakored Peflfcr. Ingalls has made a number of mistakes in his political career, due to an intense dettire to talk too nun b, and it remains to be ^|(»een whether he can ever regain bis f^jstamllng in the psrty.

GIG WKDNJSSOAY, {SEPTEMBER 27tb, has been set apart as Indiana day at the World's Fair, and great efforts will be made to have the occasion a notable one. Our

Ool. R. W. Thompson and Senator Voorhees will be among the speakers, »|\a.nd Ex-Preaident Harrison, Governor

Matthews, Gen, Lew Wallace and James "Wbltcomb Riley will be tbe others. A special programme will be arranged, *and it is expected tbere will be such a -turn out of Indianians as to make the word "Hooaier" a proud one in the ^World's Fair annals.

ANOTHER qaae of dreadful criminal negligence in railroad management, oauseda wreck near Chicago on Thursday, in which twelvellvea were Instantly destroyed, and a large number of persons were maimed for life. Of course some one was to blame, as an investigation will show, but all the investigating In the world, and tbe fixing of the blame, will not restore the preolou# Uvea so ruthlessly taken away. It seem* to be a case where an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth would be the only adequate punishment for those whose criminal oaraiaaaneaa caused the disaster. A murder ia a murdart whether it be done with an asaasaln'a knife, or a railroad train.

TITDIA*R*jroi*«I never before had such a «Towd of people aa aha haa had tbia "week, aa a result ot the G. A. R. national •encampment. She has perhapa done aa «wallaaany otharoltyof like aiae could thave done with such a crowd, and the «antartalnmanta provided for iHtvUton were unsurpassed. The Indlaaapplia paper* of court*, would never admit that they had "bltoff more'n they could chew," but the Journal ia frank enough to say that they would not care to try it again. This la the second time the national encampment has been bald then*, the order having bean entertained there at Ita first national meeting, whan the membership waa email compared to -what It la now. y-s. r»

Ws sometime* charge our fiction writers with bordering on impoaalbiiitlas In aome of their plota and detalla, bat every day there la someihlognew happening that looks more improbable than any fiction* A Nebraska court to be called on to decide on* of then* peculiar In a -anil brought- to **•. oovar aome v*inabl« diamonds that a huaband gave to bis second wife, again** the wlabos of the relative* of hi* flr*t wife, who claimed the property. Tba

second wife, on her death bed, had the 'nurse bring her a box containing the unset gems now in dispute, and these* according to the nursed story, she deliberately swallowed one by one, passing away a few momenta after she had gotten the last one down. The family now wish to disinter her body and to open it for the recovery of the diamonds, but her own people not crediting the nurse's story, refuse to allow what they consider a desecration of the dead. Did ever our most sensational writers suppose a more unlikely case than this?

Jr John L. Sullivan, whose days of usefulness—if that ia the word—as a prize-fighter are over, could make as good a citizen of himself as has Ben Hogan, the reformed pugilist, his life would not be filled with the bitterness be now exhibits. Hogan changed his vocation some fifteen years ago, and in that time has converted many thous­

ands

from their evil ways. He is at present working among the wicked of Chicago, and is meeting with great suecees. He tells aimply and with force tbe story of his own convention and supplements this with an earnest appeal to men to forsake evil for good. He woiks without salary and depends on the philanihropy of the public to sustain him. Here is a wide field open to the ex-champion who could draw big crowds in tbe role of a "terrible example."

THE celebrated case of Dr. T. Thatcher Graves, charged with the poisoning of Mra. Barnaby, which attracted so much attention on ita first trial at Denver some time ago, came to a sensational end last Saturday night, when Graves com mitted suicide in his prison cell, in Denver. He left a note saying tbe cause of hia death was: "Died from persecution. Worn oat. Exhausted." He left a letter to the public in which he scored the prosecuting attorney severely, and declared on his aolethn Masonic oath that he was not guilty of oonniving at or procuring the de&th of his benefactress. This ends one Qf tba most famous cases in American criminal practice, and the pathetic letter of Graven arouses a feeling that perhaps be was not guilty of the crime which cir* cumstantial evidence fastened on him. It goes into the list of mysteries that will perhapB never be solved.

CHICAGO is having some striking conventions this world's fair year, but none more striking than that to be held tbere next week. The national convention of the Keeley Bl-chloride League will meet there, and next Friday has benn set apart as "Keeley Day" at the fair. It is expected that 6,000 graduates of the drunkenness cure will be there, Including delegates from every state and territory in tbe union, Mexico, Cuba, South America, Europe and even Australia is to be represented. There will be women graduates, also, and when they dompare notes, tbe result is likely to be interesting. The state building of Illinois at the fair Is to be turned over to the Keeley people that day, as1 a tribute to tbe bi-chlorlde specialist, and his pioture is to be framed in the heavens at night in brilliant pyrotechnics. Medical societies and journalists may disparage this muoh-advertised remedy, doctors may disagree concerning it—as they sometimes do—but there seems to be no question but that it has done many miraculous things In curing that dreadful disease, drunko6ness. There must be a feeling of gratitude in the hearts of those who have been saved, to bring them ail the way from far-off Australia to mingle with their former co-sufferers from the liquor habit. Whether the cure is poisonous, or whether it is a quack's remedy, la not the question, when we see evidences so plainly that it bas done good,

WHAT a determined, energetio woman can do in the face of misfortune and disaster was never better illustrated than In the life of Mrs. Lucy H. Hooper, whose recent death in Paris removed a prominent figure from the American colony tbero. Reared in affluence, she became the wife of a wealthy man, who soon after lost all bis fortune. She did not alt down Idly, aa many would do, but began tbe cultivation of an inherent literary ability, which soon made her well known, and well nigh famoua. She became assistant editor of Lippincott's, and when her husband secured the appointment aa vice consul general to Paris In 1874 she began a career so filled with persistent hard work, that it la a wonder she survived so long. She waa eorraapondent to a great number ot papara In thla.country, contributed to moat of the prominent periodicals, compoaed a number of volumes of poetry, wrote several novala, among them that notable one in the "No Name Seriea." "The TWa Window," and than found time with all this to create aeveralauooaaafnl playa. Of all her literary work, that moat familiar to the general public waa the Intecaatltts aariaa of letters that aha gave up only a abort lima ago on account of ilineae, and which told truly of the llghtaaod ahadowa of life in tbe Francb capital, tbe moat wicked oily, on barttu

peace and happiness for all

time is due to their valor, their jworifices, and their undying loyalty to "Old Glory"—that blessed emblem, whoap folds spreading in the breeze silr in every patriotic breast a feeling of lpve, of reverence, aye of adoration, that could it be expressed in words would transform us all from bumble plodders into lyrists possessed of all the poetic fires that translorm mere words into living, breathing things. Year by year, day by day, the old heroes are leaving us, and hence

thousands of those

who tramped through the long wearisome line of march, at Indianapolis this week, ere the next annual meeting will have been called away. For this reason the display tbere, aside from the fact that it was held in our own state, and interest in it is not confined to the capital, has been a notable one, for a larger turnout will probably never be seen again. To one who watched the longlinesofold soldiers filing past, with steps that had lost the elasticity of youth, in whose eyes the Urea of ambition no longer shone, to one who noted the empty sleeves, the hobbling crutches, and all the evidences of what they hidgone through to attain the right to wear tbe bronaed button and insignia of that indeed Grand Army of the Republic, there came a feeling that no matter how beneficent the government has been to them, they are entitled to all the consideration they can be given. If of them are obtaining pension# fraudulently, lit them be atrioken from the rolls—but let the fraud first be proved. Because some of them are perhapa drawing pensions to which they ar* not entitled, let not all of tboae worthy men who do deaerva them bo classed as "camp followers" and "oofftee coolera.*? Be just with the old fellow*—give them fair play. Let not tha past be buried ao deeply or do far away that wa can everj. nrf

est secrecy was miiintainwi, but, unfortunately for the girls, several young men were Huppicious of thplr unusual activity and managed to obtain a clew to their objeot--a mock marriage. It was held at the home ot Miss Genevieve Rommel, and was a complete success. Ten of the girls were attired in men's suits, three being in full dress. The ceremony was performed In* regular style. A temporary altar v^as formed by a t«bie, the minister stood waiting as the bridal party entered tbe room, tbe bride leaning on the arm of her pretend ad father and the bridesmaid' following. Then came six ushers in male attire. The groom and bis best man met them at the altar, where the mock ceremony was performed with all due solemnity.
