Florida was admitted as a state in the year t S IÖ. In In',:j the national gunboat. Indianola, was destroyed by the Confederates. On this date in the year lyV.i oeeurred the enrollment of the national forces. In 17:! the notorious "Salary Utah" bill passed congress. Tin: prohibitionists who asssemble I at Indianapolis a few days ago, accepted the -'broad gwage" plank. Ciias 1 (JiMi i iN, (f Lake county, is making extra efforts to secure the noiiim ition for governor before the coming republican state convention. Tin: speech of enator Carter is having effect on the country already. Niirht before last the people ot Columbia City heard a rumbling like distant thunder and fell uneasy for some time. It is coming, gentlemen. IImw peculiar are the ran tings of; i :oine newspaper men who are tied to ! the "go den calf.'' A man who honestly t advocates the free coinage of silver is, in the opinion of these single stan 'ardites. a crank or a fraud. I. A NIHH VI i:. i We havo noticed from time to time j hat our republican friend, Mattingly, of the Uourbon Mirror, is outspoken in his views on the available timber in the state of Indiana for ."overnor. While I rother Mattingly may hive a j reference for some other candidate . e is patriotic toward the representative of Marshall county. How ditTerently it is with the party tool that conducts the party organ at the county seat, lie has no choice until ihe convention meets and names Iii candidate. I rook e is very conservative. r.rother Mattingly says: " From trustworthy sources we learn that Hon. II. I. Thayer is a candidate for governor, subject to the decision of the Indiana republican state convention. Mr. Thayer should not only be accorded the delegate vote of Marshall county, but also the solid support of the Thirteenth congressional district. If nominated, Mr. Thayer tvill make a lofty and spirited campaign- one that will attract the attention of the intelligent voters and carry the slate by a good majority. Marshall county should awake to the possibility of having such an honor as the nomination for gov emor conferred upon one of its citizens and do every thing withm its power to st cure such a result." I .;) Vt-Hf I'ointerv The editor of Ihe Flkhart Truth is authority for the following: "It is said that the black-eyed man is the most jealous of bis wife, the gray eyed one the best provider, ami the blue eyed one always hen pecked. This being leap year, ue publish these facts for the benefit of the irls." Ilm Trotting Kare. The routes', on the race course between John Wol ford's tlyer and Frank Lamson's whirl-wind has been postpond until April lölh. That race will cause as much agitation in this city as the Fourth ward contest. I lie ISruiililiil." While Tiik lMr.rr.Mn:N r has. ever since tho passing of the snow ordi nance, impressed upon the minds of ur citizens the necessity of keeping heir walks clean, yet it is exceedingly painful to have citizens comment upon '.he fact that our city does not attend to its own duties in this matter. We believe the street commissioner has been

empowered to attend to this. The matter to which we call attention is the walk m fiont of the city hall. It wiil be an impossibility to have our citizens

attend to the cleaning of their walks j when they see this neglect on the city s part. A 'aiililate.

EXPERTS AT CHEMISTRY. ;rni:tik I.i the World in tue 51jtJ Him of the laboratory. "Made in Germany" is now the recognized trade-mark for chemicals throughout the world. The dyes and by-products derived from coal tar have heconve a classical instance, or, as Hacon would have said, a glaring example. As we have stated, the Fatherlanders have captured these trades from us. (Jo to Elberfeld, and what do we see? At the Farbenfabriken, besides lirst-class works, we are shown a laboratory unsurpassed, perhaps not equaled, in London, aud employed in research or in the business there are sixty high-class chemists. In the Bariische Anilin und Sodafabrik seventyeight chemists are engaged. An expert witness told the CJresham commission that six skilled chemists was the maximum number employed in any English color works, if, indeed, there were so many. These men are unceasingly active in research. The price to pay for progress is eternal vigilance. Every hint from England, France, America or Italy is tried; every new material tested; every hopeful process patented. The great works at Höchst made in lsPO from 1.700 to 1.S00 colors; they employed 3.000 hands, seventy chemists, and twelve engineers. A firm in Offenbach with 300 workers had forty-five investigators. The lesson that has been driven home in the Fatherland is that industrial processes carried on upon a large scale give great chances for discovery. Just as gan making gave aniline so the soapboilers' lye yielded iodine, the waste of salt gardens bromine, the mother-liquors from the springs caesium and rubidium, the acid chambers selenium and thallium, the mines and metallurgical works gallium and germanium. Therefore the "cheraiker," on the other sids of the Rhine, is always looking out for something new. He found it in the benzidine and azo dyes the former giving Congo red and cUrysamin, "the most important discovery of modern times so far as cotton dyeing is concerned.In short, as Dr. Ostwald has said, it is now a firm article of belief that "the secret of German industrial chemistry Is the recognition that science is the best practice." In England it is greatly to be feared there still lingers faith in "the rule of thumb." ORIGIN OF THE HUMAN RACE. Som Scientists Hold U ToUr Rclac Wer Once Inhabited. Belierers in the Lplaco theory of the origin of the sun and the planets are of the opinion that the original stock of the human race first came into existence at the poles of the earth and gradually moved out toward the equator. All believers in the nebulir hypothesis are fast conforming their Ideas to the belief that this earth was once a redhot ball of Are, and that the human race came into existence as soon as a portion of the globe had cooled sufficiently to admit of their living upon it. The portion most likely to cool first wjw the poles, and the evidence deduced from this speculation is that upon which Is founded the idea of the polar origin of the human family. On the above theory is explained the mysterious finding of the remain of tropical birds, boasts and plants far up in the polar regions. If It is really true that the poles were the first habitable spots on the earth's surface, and that they were rendered so by the globe first cooling at the spots least affected by sunshine, it must be true also that the polar regions are gradually encroaching upon th temperate and torrid tones. Who knows but that the centuries yet to come will fill the Indian ocean and the (Julf of Mexico with icebergs and keep the Nile and the Amazon froeu solidly throughout the year? Kx. Th ISlglC"t American Diamond. Diamonds have been found occasionally at different places In the United States, but never In sufficient quantities to render systematic mining profitable. The largest authenticated diamond ever found in this country was picked up by a laborer engaged In grading the streets of Manchester, Va. Its original weight was about twentyfour carats, and, after cutting, a twelve carat stone resulted. On this stono, called by Captain Dewey, Its owner, the Oinoor, there was once loane4 1,200. but Mr. Kunz, the diamond expert, appraised its value at less than a thousand dollars, as It Is poorly colored aad Imperfect.

Cluatera! tu lilac 7 Kootu ffhtre Thay Slaop on tha floor. Very nearly all the dark-skinned men who sell that brilliantly colored candy from pushcarts are members of a regular clan, and, for the most part, Greeks, says the New York Herald. When the day has ended and their work to done they gather together in a dozen or more dens in Roosevelt and Cherry streets, just at tbe foot of the famous Cherry hill, there to eat, rest and, before sleeping, to load up their carts for the morrow, that they may get aa early start. One of these rendezvous presents a unique appearance late at night. It is generally a store on the ground floor, that the pushcarts may be trundled out easily when heavily loaded. From the sidewalk the "store" does not show a single ray of light. It looks forbidding and deserted. But its door opens, readily. The entire front of the long apartment is filled up with carts, ladeu with the sweets, and displaying their signs. Only a narrow passageway is left to get to the back of the room. Here, around a smudgy table, five or six chattering Greeks are playfng cards and quarreling over the game. On boards is spread a quantity of candy, newly made and cooling, for it is in a room back of this that the stuff is prepared. The candyniaker not only makes a profit selling to the peddlers, but he gets still more of their money lodging them on the same floor as their pushcarts. Sometimes, when a peddler is "broke" the maker of sweets sends him out with a load of candy to sell on shares, but as a general thing he gets cash for his product before the carts go out. Beds are, for the most part, unknown luxuries. Only the most prosperous peddlers seem to be able to afford them. Generally the floor is marked out with chalk lines, divided into narrow squares, and there on the hard boards, without disrobing or changing an article of their clothing, the canuy peddlers sleep. ASoientiflo Remady. For a long time Brazilian Balm was a puzzle to the doctors. It cured so many diseases that seemed contrary to each other diseases which were supposed to require a directly opposite treatment. The secret was at last revealed when it was discovered that the Balm if a most potent germicide ; that It kills disease germs or microbes in any part of the system. This discovery proved that Its cures were purely scientific and in har mony with the latest revelations ot bacteriology. For nearly all germ diseases, as Catarrh, Hay Fever, Consumption, Dyspepsia, Typhoid and Scarlet rever, rues, iueasies, mcxen-pox, Rheumatism, Mumps, Lockjaw, and other germ diseases attended with inJammatiou and fever, it has proved itself for 10 years a perfect and reliable tntidote.
