OF LOCAL INTEREST.

This is the way the sarcastic editor of the New York San pokes fan at Terre Haute, iri commenting on a quotation from th^Express, to the effect that "It has often been said that Terre Haute is the gamest town in the country": "Without undertaking to understand what a "game" town is, we may be permitted to remark that in other days Terre Haute had clearer titles to greatness. The literary perihelion of the country was supposed to be at Terre Haute. Where is it now? Has it moved or been moved? Somewhere in Indiana it must be, for nowhere else beneath the waggish eye of heaven are there so many writers to the square inch as in the demesne of the Hoosiers. Poetry grows there as freely as corn, and you catch essays there as easily as you catch the nieasles anywhere elBe. There are more associations of authors in Indiana than there are baseball clubs. And Terre Haute used to be the capital of all this paradise of the intellect. Has Terre Haute changed, or is it misrepresented?"

Miss Amalia Kussner, formerly a well known resident of this city, is the miniature artist referred to in the following extract from the New York Sun: "Most of New York's noted society beauties have been painted by a woman whose miniatures long ago became famous, and she was noted as the most successful and fashionable artist in that line that New York possessed. Now this f6rtunate artist is in London, where she painted a miniature of the Prince of Wales in the costume that he wore at the famous ball given by the Duchess of Dovenshire. The privilege of painting this would have been in itself honor enough for most artists, but in addition the Prince sent the artist a diamond heart pin which represented Persimmon, the Prince's horse, in diamonds, with the jockey's colors done iu enamel. After the fact of the presentation became public the price of her miniatures went up to $l,00n-:?and persons are wondering if the influence of the Prince of Wales's patronage will be strong enough to have the same effect here in New York."

The case of Curry vs. Grosjean, in which Harvey W. Curry, formerly county superintendent, attempts to oust Chas. F. Grosjean, present incumbent of the ofllce, from his position, was set down for trial this week, by agreement, before Judge Walter W. Moffett, of the Sullivan-Groenecircuit.

There were sixty births In this city'last month, and but thirty-five deaths.

From present indications the celebration of the A. O. U. W. in this city, on Wednesday, October 37th, will draw fully ten thousand visitors here. Many of the visiting lodges will bring bands, and the parade that day will be one of the biggest things of the kind that ever occurred here.

The local postofflco for the quarter ending September did a business of $154,500.tl3.

One does not have to IKS one of the oldest inhabitants to remember the old Wabash and Krlc canal, which came in from the north in the rear of the old Early aud Warren slaughterhouses, on Water street, and from the basin where the old Haney warehouse stow! left the city along what is now the line of the Vandalia road and the Chestnut street sewer, south past the old Union depot and in southeasterly direction past the present site of the brewery and the car works. It has been mauy, many years since the old canal vas closed, but its affairs were just wound up this week before Judge Woods in the federal court at Indianapolis, in the receivership proceedings that were begun on November 19, 1874, The case In point WM that of Jonathan K. Gapen, formerly

IT IS EASY TO TELL. People who fail to look after their health are like the carpenter who neglect* to sharpen his tools. People are not apt to get anxious about their health soon enough. If you are "not quite well" or "half sick", have you ever thought that your kidney* may be the cause of your sickness

It is easy to tell by setting aside your urine for twenty-four hours a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull ache in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

There is satisfaction in knowing that the great remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, fulfills every wish in relieving weak or diseased kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary troubles. Not only does Swamp-Root give new life and activity to the kidneys—the cause of trouble, but by treating the kidneys it acts as a tonic for the entire constitution. If you need a medicine take Swamp-Root—it cares. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar, or by sending your address and the name of this paper to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bitwhamton. N. Y., yon may have a sample bottle of this great discovery sent to yon free by mail.

of this city, and a nephew of the late Col. Robert N. Hudson, against the canal trustees. On Gapen's application Samuel B. Gookins was appointed receiver for the canal, and when he died his son-in-law, George C. Day, also of this city, succeeded him. In the course of the receivership all the old Wabash and Erie canal, extending from Toledo southeasterly across Indiana to Terre Halite, was sold in various parcels. After the payment of debts and costs, attorney's fees and receiver's allowances from time to time, there was left in the court's hands $4,580. Of this an allowance of (3,485.91 was i&ade to Claypool & Ketcham, of Indianapolis, attorneys for the receiver. The costs wers deducted, and the residue went to Mr. Duy as his final allowance. This amounted, to 1970. Of all the parties interested in the original proceedings, George C. Duy is the sole survivor. He is now a resident of Greencastle, where he located after retiring from the hotel business in Columbus, Ga., where he'lived for many years.

It seems that James P. Light, the exForest Park promoter: did not make as much out of his Klondike prospecting as he was reported by the Chicago papers to have brought home with him. He has refused $10,000 for his interest in one claim alone, and is now engaged in promoting the interests of the Alaska Gold Mining and Prospecting Co., which fact doubtless explains the glowing write-ups he secured in the Chicago papers. It is said of Light that he was working as a farm hand in Illinois last spring, for $19 a month, when he was seized with the Alaskan fever, and talked a Chicago doctor into "grub-stak-ing" him. He left for the Klondike List March, located a number of claims, and returned last month because his provisions gave out. He will return to Klondike in the spring.

The celebrated Laverty will case was settled this week by agreement among the heirs concerned. Mrs. J. C. Casto, of this city, who was one of the heirs, will receive one-sixth of the entire estate, which it is estimated will amount to $350,000. She was one of the children of the first wife. Aquilla Laverty, son of the young widow, receives one-third of the estate.

The Chieftian's League, the uniformed rank of the Improved Order of Red Men, whose striking uniform is a pattern of the old Continentals, organized a supreme lodge of the order in this city this week. The movement was set on foot by Capt. Chas. L. Feltus, commander of the local League, and one of the most prominent members of the order in the state. He broached the subject to the supreme officers of the Red Men during the recent convention at Philadelphia, to which he was a delegate from Indiana. It met their approval, and the action this week followed as a result: The officers elected were 'as follows: C. M. Elam, past supreme chieftain C. L. Feltus, supreme chieftain E. C. Neal, first Y. S. C. H. L. Price, second Y. S. C. James Soules, secretary recorder: C. J. Wey, secretary and treasurer supreme trustees, George H. Snyder three years James H. Mullen, two years, and William Able, one year William Neukom, S. M. Charles E. Septer, S. S.

One of the most sensational cases that ever came to light in this city was that of Dr. A. J. Thompson, a well known citizen, who was arrested last night on a warrant sworn to before Justice Brown,, charging him with perjury in his testimony in a suit he brought before Justice Turk for an insurance premium due him from D. T. Hayes. He was placed in jail, and was unable to furnish bond owing to the fact that Justice Brown was out of the city and had not fixed the bond. It transpired this morning that Orrin Brown, a son of the Justice Brown, had signed his father's name to the warrant, thereby putting himself in a bad position in the eyes of the law. The case is likely to furnish some interesting davelopments.

Miss Florence A. Warhurst, the violinist, who has just returned from Liepzig, where she spent several years receiving musical instruction, will give a recital at th* Central Presbyterian church next Tuesday evening, in which she will be assisted by Miss Rose Hirschler, pianist, and Miss Louis Smith, soprano.

In a divorce suit in one of the courts this, week, the aplicant for the divorce, the wife, testified that one of her reasons for asking for a legal separation was that her husband accused her of not being able to bake as good bread as his mother made. The court declined to grant divorce on such grounds, when the defedant, who was present, filed a counter complaint, and on their differences a divorce was granted.

The Wabash Cycling club will make a very interesting run to-morrow morning, to old Terre Haute, where the wreck of a steamer sunk in the Wabash over forty years ago, was recently brought to light by the change in the river at the channel of the river at that point. The club will start from the Terre Haute house at nine o'clock to-morrow morning.

A very sad death was that of Harry P. Lee, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lee, of north Seventh street, which occurred Wednesday night. The young man was a student of the Commercial college, and gave unusual promise for his future, and his death is a severe blow to bis parents. He was a member of the Young Men's Thompson club, and the club adopted appropriate resolutions to bis memory Thursday night.

At the grand lodge meeting of the Knights and .Ladies of Honor held here this week. J. T. H. Miller, the well known clothier, was re-elected to the position of grand treasurer, & position he has held for eighteen years. Fred Backmeier was elected grand sentinel. The reports of the officers show the order to be in a prosperous condition. A drill was held at Germanirf* ball Tuesday evening, in which prims and percentage* were awarded as follows: Pleasant Lodge 1388, of Brightwood, first prise, $50, percentage Washington lodge 1335, of Indianapolis, second prise $35, percentage, 90 Clay lodge 33, of Braxil, third prise, $15, percentage, ffc Zenith lodge, 3®, Braxii, fourth prise tl®, percentage, 87c.

The houses here are all equally high, equally broad, equally gaudy on the outside and equally devoid of individuality within. The Anglo-Saxon owns his house and makes it comfortable for himself and his family. The Prussian lives in an apartment house, along with perhaps a dozen more families, all of them subject to the petty tyranny of a porter whose duties are dangerously near to those of a police agent. Thus the individual taste of a Berlin artist, writer, actor or other notable resident finds no expression through his architectural surroundings. A Helmholtz, a Mommsen, a Menzel or a Virchow is in Berlin as little identified with his house as a soldier with his barracks. This form of living has its conveniences, particularly to a bachelor, but is not conducive to interest in those who seek the literary landmarks of great capitala —Poultney Bigelow in Harper's Weekly.

Domestic Service on the Kongo.

"Cruelty In the Kongo Free State" the title of a paper made up from the journals of the late E. J. Glave in The Century. Mr. Glave says: Toyo, the boy I engaged of Sims, is more different kinds of an ass than any one I have met for several moons. The other day, after cooking something in the frying pan, he placed the sooty side on the drum of my banjo. I do not understand his language very well, but from gesture and disgusted look it ought to have been clear to liim that I objected to that sort of untidiness. When I threw off the frying pan. he took it tip carefully, wiped the sooty part with a cloth I had given him to clean plates, with, and then put it back on the banjo. He has made tea in my coffeepot without removing the coffee grounds. He walks into my room without taking off his hat or removing his pi pa He is ugly, slow and has no more intelligence than rock. I found him wearing a hat which I had given him to carry, and wiping Jb.is sweaty face on my towel. What service he could have rendered Sims' mission I do not know.

They Are Sensitive.

The sensitiveness of the families of distinguished men as to the early occupations of their ancestors is somewhat remarkable. Recently an author was asked to write a brief history of the life of a man who had done service to his state. Like Lincoln, this man had been a woodchopper, a fact to which his historian gave prominence "Don't say he was'a woodchopper,' said the spokesman of the family.

Mr. Newpop—Sfty, doctor, I wish you would fix up something to make my wife sleep nights. The baby has just begun catting its teeth, and—

A Stodf of Berlin.

Berlin is almost as discouraging in its other lnndmarlrH at its notable Germans as in its public statues. It is almost as bad as New York, where few houses now stand that were in existence when Franklin and Washington were alive. London is rich in buildings associated with graat men, and an American can hardly walk from Westminster to St. Paul's without recalling a dozen names of men whose lives are dear to him. Berlin has, however, been almost built anew since 1870. I can remember whole streets that were different when I was a boy. There are, to be sure, a few instances of memorialf^plates being affixed to houses where notable Germans have lived, but even in these cases the houses themselves are an uninteresting portion of an uninteresting street The Prussian kings adored uniformity in street architecture, as well as in the dressing of soldiers, and that may be the reason why today the most beautiful streets of Berlin furnish less interest to a stranger than the grimiest alleys of London, with their charming diversity of"dirty fronts.

On one occasion when a well "known wit was listening to the band on the pier at Brighton some medical students who happened to be there thought they would have a joke with him, an»l accordingly one of their number went up with outstretched hand and said "Ah, good morning, Mr. How do you do?'' "I am quite well, thank you," replied he, "but I really have not the honor of your acquaintance." "What!" said the student. "You don't .know me? Why, I met you at the zoo." "Young man, accept my apologies, but reqlly I saw so many monkeys there that it is impossible for me to recognize them all again."—Pearson's Weekly.
