A dispatch from Pittsburg last WedI nesday stated that there were ten thousand cases of grip in that city and Allegheny, and that the dentil rate was, indeed, alarming. The editor of the Plymouth Democrat in his last issue rakes from Alpha to Omega the wretched law of Indiana which prescribes murder for murder, or in other words, sanctions the death penalty. It’s excellent reading. Do so some more. La Grippe, Epidemic Bronchitis or Influenza, which is now said to be prevalent, is an affection of which one epidemic seldom follows another in as quick succession as is the ease with the two late epidemics. Nevertheless, if the conditions of atmosphere are favorable to the production of the special influence which it is supposed causes the malady, we know of no reason why the malady should not prevail as long as the cause is produced, let that be one year with another for a whole century. But it is positively the first time that two epidemics of influenza have occurred in as quick succession as have the two last, in the last quarter of a century, in this country. In fact, there has not been as sweeping an epidemic of it as was (he one of last winter, in the last quarter of a century, in the United Slates. We heard a fellow who is

more than twenty-live years old say so. La Grippe, is the name given to the disease by French authors; Epidemic Bronchitis, is the name given it by American authors, and Influenza, is what the Italian authors call it. Common everyday editors usually call it “grip” for short. George Small, one of the jurors in the Pettit case, has made the following statement which is going the rounds of the press: “Since I served as a juror in the Pettit case I have had to answer innumerable inquiries. A great many ask? ‘lf you found him guilty why didn’t you hang him?’ The question is not without reason, as the murder was long premeditated, cold blooded and unprovoked. But for all that I think the verdict was just right. Hanging a man is not always best. It is a fate reserved only for ignorant and vicious criminals. Pettit is not that kind. He would not kill you or me or any other man as most murderers would do. I do not believe he would rob a man or wrong any person . lie is hlyklj .....; ■ ligeut and can do his country a great deal of good, even where he is. His temperament is a peculiar one. The chief aim in his life was to reach the highest place in the church, and besides he was greatly infatuated with Mrs. Whitehead. His wife was hindering his promotion in the church, bethought, and was standing between him and the object of his infatuation, Mrs. Whitehead, whose money could so materially advance him. Now, it is a law of psychology that any man will fight against that which prevents his reaching his chief aim, or baffles his passion. His wife, unfortunately, did both, and was sacrificed.” GENTLE ANNIE. [lndianapolis Sun.]

opring slipped on a lot of us this year and arrived before it was reported, the exact time being nine minutes after 4 last Friday afternoon. One sure evidence of spring is when you shake the carpet iu the back yard and let the dust blow into the neighbors’ windows, who have finished houscleaning. Another sure sign is all the pretty girls in town crow'd the streets afternoons to see what the other girls have on. It is embarrassing for two of the dear things to turn around and catch each other inspecting their costumes. Iu some cities they clean the streets so that people will know spring has arrived. Maybe this was done long ago in Indianapolis, but it wasn’t this year. When the men pull their hats down over their eyesand wear an “I’m-not in-it” expression on tbeir faces and drag their feet to a slow gait, that’s another sign of spring. Country correspondents to country newspapers always herald this gay and festive season with “The sound of the hammer is heard in the laud,” or “John Brown is breaking up his back 40 for corn,” and iu other sensational ways’ Oh, there’s ever so many ways to tell that spring has come. All Dressed with Oil. Fontenelle preferred his asparagus dressed with oil; but his friend, the Abbe Terrasson, liked it with butter. The latter coming to dine with him one day, Fontenelle unselfishly ordered that half the asparagus should be dressed his way and the other halt Tevrasson’s. Just before sitting down to the table the Abbe was struck down by apoplexy, whereupon Fontenelle rushed out of the room and shouted to his cook: “All with oil! All with oil!”— AU the Year Hound. American railroads would reach half way to the moon. I bought, while in Chicago last week, about 60 pauts patterns, such as we ( have been making to order at $7.50 to $9 a pair.
