BRI R T Tae LaPorte Daily Dispatch has changed hands. Harry Stockton, its former owner, is succeeded by Henkel Bros. Tae Wabash road now allows . drummers having mileage books to carry 200 pounds of baggage instead of 150, as heretofore.

ACOORDING to rumor the South Bend Register is about to change _ bands. It will be run by a stock company, and issued as a moroing paper. AT T SR 5 TaE Chicago Inter Ocean declares that we are not 2 drunken pation, and claims that the vice of ~ dronkenness in this country is in a sule, and not very slow, process of diminution. ' TaE Republicans of the Fort Wayne district are jubilant over _ the election of Capt. J. B. White for Congress. His democratic opponeant, *Bob” Lowry, was defeated by 1500 wajority. Tbat district has heretofure been strongly demoi eratie, _ e s S : THE idea of Boston being ihe - bub tires us. We have spoke. —[Puck. It is the duty of every citizen to ° bolster up a good -felloe, and you are therefore admonished to stop wagon your slanderous tongue. THE nomination of Gov. Hill, of - New York, by the Democratic party, for the presidency in 1888, is - being generally predicted by tbel press of the country. Gov. Hill is the idol of his party, and his cbhances for the nomination, at this ~ juncture, would seem to be exceli lent. PAragoNiA has been obliterated | from the map of South America. To Chili has been assigned all the ___western slope of the Cordilleras to ~ the sonthern extremity of the con- | tinent. The remainder becomes - the property of the Argentine Coufederation. Terra del Xuego is parted equally, while Chili takes all the other islands. | THE most approved plan of keeping cider is by the use of salycilic acid. One ounce of the acid is used to the barrel of forty five galloms. The acid, which is a white powder, is put in the barrel and the cider is then run into the barrel, and the acid thoroughly mixes with it. This does not affect the flavor of the cider in the least, nor bas it any burtful quality and keeps the cider perfectly sweet, if properly made, for a long time. S ————— THE Peru Republican says that s “the Wabash employes uow understand that each month they will receive their money on the 28th, or as near that date as possible. 1n thosgiving its employes a fixed | pay day, the company has done .~ them a good turn, and one which " they appreciate, for it is po small help to men working on salaries, in making coutracts for future performance, to be üble to tell within a day or two the exact time when they will receive the pay upon , which they depend.”

S L R O~ Nov. sth a light but well marked earthquake shock was felt at Charleston, 8. C, and various other poiuts in the South. That part of the country seems to be ‘doomed. i e Roscoe ConkLING, describing a witness on the other side of the . \ case: “Gentlemen, I think I can see that witress now--his mouth stretching across the wide desolation of his face, a fountain of falsehood and a sepulchre of rum.” L e RoBERT G. INGERSOLL is of the opinion that the convicted Chicago anarchists have not been legally found guilty. Mr. Ingersoll will probably be the advocate for the anarchists before the Supreme Court. LATER.—Mr. Ingersoll sends a telegram te the INDEPENDENT to the effect that he will not defend the anarchists. e THREE men were burned to death in the Ackerman hotel, Ind, the worniog following the election. Jobhn C. Gates and Michael Tracy were elected the day previous, Treasurer and Auditor of Martin county. The men had gone to bed quite late fatigued from their labors election day, and slept so soundly that they were not disturbed by the excitement until too late, and were consumed in the flames, Sy b THERE is a new racket going the rounds that beats the chestnut bell all to pieces. Whenever a fellow tells a story that is a little musty, or tries to perpetrate any bad puns, nobody sneers at him; nor says a word. nor rings a bell. First some one wil! step up and shake hands with him, silently and solemnly. Then another fellow, then another, and so on all around. About the time the second man’s hand is extended the vietim begins to feel warm in his head and cool and hot by turns under bis vest, and by the time the tbird band is ready he is almost in a state of collapse. ——e — —— ——— TaE following excerpt from the Chicago Inter Ocean coutains some good points in regard to the labor question: Labor in America has in its own grasp the power to convert itself into a combination of capital. The following sentences are from an Inter Ocean interview with a capitalist on a subject totally foreign to that of strikes or “efforts on behalf of the proletariat;” they form, in fact, a part of Mr Allerton’s meditations on a scheme for the erection of cattle yards at St. Louis: There is one thing that people have got to come to, and that is, the knowledge that labor is the wealth of this country. Without labor there would be no wealth, and the l=borer is beginning to make that discovery. Why, see here! Suppose that each of the 20000 men at the Yards would put 50 cents of his wages each day into a general fund. That would be slo,oo¢ per day, $300,000 per month, or over $3,000,000 in the year. They would then buy out Morris & Swift and kick them out of the business. The laboring man does not know his power. Tflere never was a time in the hissory of this world when a labering man got so much money for his time, or so much goods for his money as he does to-day. And now some of them want to throw away onefifth of their time. See here, the barbarian does not work and he has noti‘imzr. The eivilized man ‘has to work, and he accumulates something. The higher the civilization the more the people have St e o o 1 ¥ e Additional Local News. Horse blankets at the Walkerton harness shop.

There are households where “Ma” is a bond-servant to the whims of husband and children. Such a case needs a course of sweetly smiling indifference. She should give them what is good enough, then receive their remarks as a feather bed does a shower of stones. We sometimes sce how a quiet, imperturbable second wife reforms such a family after they have worried a timd, sensitive little woman into her grave. Above all, do not get disheartened. You may despair of attaining perfection, as the ever-receding standard of excellence | rises as you grow older and more experienced; your tasks may be hard and uncongenial; the mysteries of the frying pan and oven harder to understand than the mysteries of geometry or the lexicon ever were; you may have the dispiriting feeling that, no matter how hard you try, it will always be against the grain, for not every woman is a born house- | keeper any more than every man is a | born financier, but bring to bear upon it all the faith and patience and courage you can get. The Lord has given | you this work to do; do it bravely and | cheerfully as unto Him. Perhaps He | sees that through this discipline you may make that which is better even than a | perfect housekeeper, a woman full of a | t sweet, brave patience and a cheery ( faithfulness.—May Ann Blake, in Good \ Housekeeping. \ el @lt ‘ \ Printing from zinc plates is gradually | | revolutionizing lithography, after having been dormant for nearly a quarter of a century. ity
