That is a new and very slick way of running for office. Empires a^e also ungrateful, it i seems. The German reichstag re- t fused to pass resolutions congratulat- < ing the old hero, Prince Bismark, on t his birthday. What a petty piece of i business that was. t Gladstone once said, “I believe that an income tax does more than any other tax to demoralize and corrupt the people.” Any kind of a tax seems to have a bad effect upon a great many people. It is a question who is the congressman who will now represent LaPorte County? Royce was elected in the old district and now we have been thrown into the Hatch dominions of the tenth district. Congressman Hanley, elected in the Ninth, is also thrown into this district, so that republicans of LaPorte county have three congressmen to look for favors, but who is really our congressman? — Ex. Affairs between the United States and England relative to the Venezue lan trouble are becoming quite complicated. Matters begin to look rather serious, and our government may be compelled to uphold the Monroe doctrine in a very decided manner. Eng land asserts that the interference of the United States in this affair is a piece of impudence and wholly unwarranted. England is evidently itching for another thrashing from Uncle Sam. Pastor Jos. A. Milburn, of the Second Presbyterian church at Indianapolis, attended Ingersoll's lecture there, and at a church council he was taken to task by an elder for so doing. Mr. Milburn made this sensible reply: “I want no misunderstandings and I will tell why I was there. Some of the dearest souls in this congregation have seen fit to discountenance my action, but I intended, and believe I did, no wrong. Whatever may be said of Ingersoll, it cannot be denied that he represents a certain force. Now, if a person believes that force is pernicious, the best way he can combat it is to find its longitude and latitude—its exact dimensions. That is why I went to hear Ingersoll. I will confess that I was delighted and charmed with his wonderful rhetoric and oratory—the most wonderful, perhaps, of any man in America, but to suppose that his utterly reasonless speech could have any effect on me is absurd. I believe I can do my duty better from having gone.”

THE DEATH RECORD. FREDERICK WOLFF. The subject of this sketch was born in Mecklenburg, Schwerin, Germany, July 7, 1817, and died March 28, 1895, aged 77 years, 8 months and 21 days. He came to America with his family in 1866, and located in St. Joe county near Walkerton, where he purchased a farm on which he lived until last, October. Since then he had lived with his daughter, Mrs. Minnie Nebelung, in LaPorte. He was twice married. His first wife died about sixteen years ago. Two years later he married his second wife, who died last May. He leaves two children—John C. Wolff, of near Walkerton, and Mrs. Nebelung, of .LaPorte, also ten grandchildren.

Snyder, of Delphi, conducted the services. Young Men Who Get Too Smart A talented writer, who has brushed against his share of the rough places of the world, tenders the following sage advice to the smart young man : "Now, young man, be as smart as you can, of course; know ns much as you can without blowing the packing out of your cylinder-head. Shed the light of your wisdom abroad in the land, but don’t dazzle people with it. Don’t be too sorry for your father be cause he knows so much less than you 10. Os course your clothes fit you better than father’s do him. They cost more too. They are more stylish. Your mustache is neater. The cut of your hair is better and you are much better looking than the old man. But mind, young man, the old gentleman gets the biggest wages, and his homely scrawling signature on the business end of a check will draw more money out of the bank in five minutes than you could get out with your copper plate signature iu six months. Young men are useful. We all like them and couldn’t well engineer a picnic without them. But they are no novelties, my son; —nothing of the kind. The world has been so full of smart young meu that their feet stuck out of the upper windows. The world has great need of you, but no greater need of you young man, than you have need of the world. Don’t be too fresh, young man, so that you have to be put away in the ice box to keep yon from spoiling. Don’t be afraid, young man, that your merits will not be discovered. People all over the world are hunting for you, and if yon are worth finding they will find yon.”
