Chicago is doing more building this year than at any year;! since the one which followed the gi eat fire. Two million brick per day are being laid. Four hundred Jews are on their way to this country, as their new land of promise. This emigration is undoubtedly the result of the ami-Jewish prosecution. The timber limits and timber camps along the Scoot River, Out, are - being devastated by fire. Immense' .quantities of manufactured lumber have already, been destroyed. The Rev. Father Campbell, Canon of St. Peter's, Bome, has abjured the Catholic faith, and embraced Methodism.

China and Japan are each claiming the ownership f the Loo Choo Islands. China means to fight for possession, and is having a whole fleet built in England, some of the ships beiugt a-i ready finished. .Governor Sheldon, of New Mexico, says (here i3 reason to fear a general participation on the part of all Indian tribes in that territory in the warlike demonstrations of the Nana and White Mountain Apaches. - An effort is being made by Ids attorney to lake -tho case of Sergeant Mason, the man who missed Guiteau, from mihhuy jurisdiction. The mili1 tary officers are persuaded that Mason is deranged somewhat. The citizens of Arizona Territory are to be armed, -and those living in regions liable to suffer from incursions of the red men will be organized into militia companies to resist future attacks of the Apache Indians. The coal operators in the Pittsburg region-have concededto the demand of half a cent a bushel extra demanded by the miners, and the threatend strike is averted.

newspaper, for the agvanceinent p-j

C h istiauity. Some advocated the es tahiishment of a well-endowed church paper. Others thought such journals were too narrow-minded. The London Times, representing the English Government and the Liberal party in Great Britain, says of the resolutions adopted by the Land League Convention ; "Greai Britain will no more tolerate secession than the United States tolerated it in I860." The Central Land League at Dublin has issued a series of resolutions to be submitted to the national convention demanding home rule, denouncing the coercion act, rejecting the land bill, and pledging itself to adhere to "its solemn pledges'' until all the objects for which it was organized are fulfilled. As an inducement to the laboring classes to join the movements bona fide laborers are to be elected to Parliament and peasant proprietorship is to be es tablished. As it is impossible for the English government to yield to these new demands the Anglo-Irish troubles will begin again, and last until the league accomplishes its aims or is itself annihilated.

according tOithe contract ox nor aaoptipm Willie Brown, a 13-ycarold Bon of James Brown, of Sugar Creek township, Shelby county, shot his six-year-old brother, while playing with a revolver. The ball entered the thigh near the groin, producing a very dangerous wound On Monday night Nat. Garrish, a saloon keeper of Fprtyille, and Charley Shaffer, his bar tender, engaged in a fight, in which Garrish was badly hurt. Afterward Garrish73 saloon was stoned.

The sessions of the convention will be held in the First Presbyterian church. Certificates granting reduced rates over all lines operated by the P., C. & St L. railway, (Panhaudie)can be had upon application to L. W. Munha31, Indianapolis. A strange and fatal malady has broken out among the horses of Wabash. In the earlier stages of the disease the animal is feverish and refuses food. Later his limbs swell and he is unable to move about. Just before death ensues great lumps and welts appear on the sides and back, an d the breast is enormously swollen. 'The disease runs its: course in about ten (lays. About fifty horses are sick in Wabashaioneand there have been two deaths; V Earnest Jacobs, of Decatur, drove home with too much whisky in him. He began to fight his horse in the stable, when the animal struck back, doubling the unfortunate man up against a tie-piece of the building, from which he bounced back underneath the horse. He lay there nearly all the evening, and when lound was nearly trampled to death, His injuries are supposed cp be fatal. On Monday; Jack Davis, who has been working for Mark- Austin, at Winchester, for some time past, eloped with the latter 's fourteen . year old daughter, Davis is a Carolinian, about twenty-four years old. At Harrisville Mr. Austin found Davis, and with him what appeared to be a young boy, but which was his girl, who had donned boy's clothes and had her hair cut close off. She returned with her father without any hesitation, and claimed that she had been intimidated. - Water is so; scarce in Brown coun ty that John Hickey, who is hauling logs from tile woods, is compelled to take water hack in barrels for his men and oxen. Rattlesnakes discovered where the water was kept, and for the last week or two have congregated around the barrels at night to the great fear of the men and fright of the teams, some nights keeping up a fearful hissing and rattling. A number of the snakes have been killed, but still the men are afraid

?to sleep near the barrels.

, It has just been discovered that one

tofthe stations .on the Underground

railroad was located two miles south, of Wabash. The building stands on a hill overlooking the Lafontaine and Wabash turnpike, and is a plain-brick

structure. s It was built by1 a man named Elias Thomas, in the year 185V3, and by him was used as a residence. No one knew of' this bein g a place of refuge for slaves until recently a new family moved in, and an examination revealed the vault for secreting1 'passengera" en route for Canada. The ilouudatioriaof the house is sunken deep into the , ground, forming a sort of basement. This cellar is divided into two compartments by a stone wall. One side is entered by a door, and the other apparently is without an apperture.v A trap-door in the floor above, however j which was al way 3 covered by a carpet, gave easy means of access, and many colored men were let down into the depths of the mysterious cellar while on their way from the south to Canada. It is f?aid that another station on the line is situated near La Gro. While returning from the country, a party of picnickers heard a great commotion in a house on the Liberty pike, near the city limits of Richmond. There were screams, cries, yells, groans and- oaths, mingled with a crash of furniture and sounds like people wore scuffling and falling Inside. There was not a light visible, and they approached the building cautiously, and by peering in at the window they could see seven or eight men and women lying on the. floor with their heads covered with quilts, table cloths and coats, and behind the house were several more so badly: scared that thev could hardly speak1. They said that, while two spiritualists from the citj" aud one. from Fort Wayne" were holding a seance in the dining room , the spirits descended like a Hash of lightning and threw a heavy extension table up in the air and let it fall with such force that it was broken, the chairs were knocked from side to side und broken , tite dishes were smashed,and in the midfct of the uproar the ghost) of a man who' committed suicide near there appeared carrying his boots in his hands, The door flew back on its binges and ho walked away leaving- the house in , darkness and silence; A shoemaker, who was in the company, said ho mended the suicide's -hoots the day br-

fore he took hii life and he recognized those the ghost carried by the patches. A large quantity of the plunder taken by the "shaj'p-curve" robbers on the Chicago and Altos train has been

Senator Ben Hill has lost; about one-half of his tongue in two operations performed upon it for cancer, and it is yet feared that the disease is spreading and must soon terminate fatally. The tobacco crop of United States Senator, John S. Williams, of Kentucky, was sold in Cincinnati, the other day, for $21,419.06. There were 94 hogsheads of it, produced on 75 acres of land.

A 2s ew Orleans paper, which vigorously advocates the building of cotton mills in Louisiana, says Mtiw little

town of Fall Biver" made more mone.y

of the law prohibiting the importation of American pork, A Washington special states that it is hinted by Commissioner Dudley that he has discovered a ring in the pension bureau that has made a large sum of money out of fraudulent pension claims. It is understood that the Commissioner is trying l induce a member of the ring to turn state's evidence m order that his accomplices may be discovered.

One of the indications of the pros perityof the couutry is the extraordinary sales of public lands during the last year and adialf. Officials of tbe general land office say that the returns for the fiscal year 1881, when completed and tabulated, will show that the sales of laud during the year will exceed the sales of any other in the annals of the government. The laws of Michigan regulate the retail hquor traffic. Becent enact

ments provido that liouo cannot be sold iu any room where theatrical exhibitions are given, nor in any adjoining room, and it is not lawful to keep a pool, billiard or card-table, or any game, in any room in tbe same building in which liquors are -sold. Saloons must close at 9 o'clock p. m., except where city ordinances permit them to remain open until 10 o'clock p. in. A recent enactment in Canada provides that the beastly cowards who commit violence of any kmd on women shall be imprisoned, and shall receive an application of tbe cat-o-nine-t ails every ten days. If tho law made one further provision fo:r the worst of these beasts, it would be perfect ol its kind. The wretch Guiteau was terribly frightened by the shot of Sergeant Mason last Sunday. When the attendents reached his cell after the shooting, he was found crouched in a comer, uttering prayerc for protection, and writhing about the floor in an agony of fear. The lrigbt continued all day, and fears were Inter tain ed that his reason would give way. It was a punishment that nearly reached his deserte while it lasted.

The church court that recently tried Bev Dr. Thomas, of Chicago, for heresy, was composed of nine Methodist clergymen. It is now said that their vote stood on tho charges as foVlows; On the Thomas views of the atonement, four with Thonius and five against him; on his views of the inspiration of the Scriptures, three with him and six against hi in; on his views on future punishment, one with him and eight against Mm. From this statement it appears that hte heresies havoobtaiued a considerable foothold in the church.

Mr. Ia M. Bates a member of a

prominent New. York diy-goods firm, in a recent reportoriol interview, dwelt with much unction on the growing prospects of the south. He stated that no merchants came to the New York market with so much ready money to purchase goods as those from the southern states. Tho majority of them have the cash to pay for th3ir bills, rangiug from $5,000 to $7,000. He gavo as a reason for this that tho south was recuperating from a long period of depression, that her magnificent resources were being developed, and that large amounts of capital were flowing in from the north for her products and to develop her industties.

The alleged heresy of Dr. Thomas consists in the fact that he holds and preaches that all tho books of the Bible are not of equal authority upon the consciences of men; that the atonement was not tbe effect of a penalty executed upon Jesus Christ and that there may be justification and redemption after death. Dr. Adam Clark and John Wesley are quoted as holding the same view with Dr. Thomas on the firs'; two points, and it is claimed that there is no article in the Methodist creed that is contravened by the Thomas teaching on the last point. The district Conference will probably sustain fli9 charge of heresy, bu t the General Conference will not dispose of the matter so easily. Gen. Ambuose E. Buknside, United States Senator from Bhode Island, who died suddenly at Bristol, that State, on the morning of the 13th inst, aged 57 years, was a Dative of Indiana, He was a graduate of West Point and served with distinction in

the Mexican War, s,nd the- war of the rebellion, attaining the rank of .Major General in the latter service. He was also distinguished in civil life, haying held many important positions of pub

lic trust including that of Governor oi

Rhode laland. He had. just entered

upon his second term as Uuited States

Senator. The story of his life may be

summc u up oy saying en at ne was a

brave soldier, an honorable man and a

true patriot.

Judge McUkaky, of the United States Circuit Court of the Missouri

district has given a decision of great importance torail roads and transpori j : . . .ii .... j.. j. i

lauuu uuiu panies as weu as to uie

public. The gist of it is that courts have the right; to prevent transporta

tion companies from discriminating in favor of or against any class of cus

tomers to the prej udice of oth ers of the same class; that railroad companv is bound to carry freight for any ex

press company, and that it must not discriminate against it in favor of itselif

or any other express company; and that courts may even go so far as to fix max! bum rates which may be charged by railroad companies for the transportation of express and other freight, Investigations make iu Canada

and Michigan show that the destructive fore3t fires generally start and spread in the bran shes and foliage of

In addition to a largo area of forest and farms, about thirty villages and smaller towns were either partly or completely wiped out by the recent terrible forest fires in northeastern Michigan. It was one of the most appalling calamities that has ever occurred in this country. The loss of hu

man me is now estimateu at-apoui 500, and the loss of property is immense. The flames were driven forward over many miles of territory by a terrific hurricane, and came upon the inhabitants so suddenly and overwhelmingly, that escape was in many instances impossible. Great distress is reported among the survivors in the region of tho calamity, and their appeals for relief should be promptly responded to by the charitable throughout the land.

The atten t io n of G en era! Neal Dow having been called to a statement that

694 persons have paid government

special tax as retail liquor dealers in

the city of Portland, Maine, he explains

by saying that the 694 persons are all

who have paid this tax in the whole State. "The law of Maine provides

that the sale of liquor for medicinal

and scientific purposes shall be placed

in the hands of a responsible agent,

and every city and town in Maine is

supposed to have such an agent, and

all these agents and other persons sell

ing, are required by the United Siates

law, to pay the special tax miscalled

license, consequently a large number of the above 694 qicenses' are issued to

agents whose sales are legitimate."

Under this explanation, it is possible that prohibition does, practically, pro

hibit, in Maine.

The hostile Apaches of Arizona have commenced a gen era! war against

the whites. Beinforeements are going forward to strengthen the inadequate

force of United States troops now in

that region. For a distance of 100

miles along the Southern Pacific Rail

road there is a reign of terror. The

iuability of tho President will probably

prevent any decided change of the

Indian policy, under the aggravation of this outbreak, but it seems to be an

opportunity for vigorous treatment

that should be pressed to the utter

most. If the army could be reinforced

by Indian lighting volunteers, and

war waged upon these hostiles until

they shall be exterminated or forever suOdued, and all the Indians of the

country taught a lesson they will never

forget, the Government would only be

doing it plain duty. The 1 'peace poli

cy" will be much more practicable

after tho savage red devils have been

convinced try a severity uiey can un

derstand, that they must submit to a

superior power, or be destroyed.

The subject of Sunday law and Sun

day observance is receiving a thorough overhauling at Indianapolis, and a

broad area of t he hard-pan of com men

sense ha3 been uncovered. In this

bard-pan it is discovered, and gener

ally conceded, that Sunday laws are. or should be at least, chiefly a police

regulation, securing to man and

beast a necessaiy one day's rest of

seven; that this regulation is subject to

the necessities of society, and hence the work needed to suoply these

necessities is, or should be, considered

line meae necessities, nut cue average public sentiment will soon settle that

matter, if the basis ef public opinion

is once firmly established. Keeping the idea in view that Sunday is to be

as nearly as possible a day ol rest for

every bodr, there need be no great difficulty in determining between the

necessary and useless disturbance of

the purpose and meaning of the day's

separateness from other days.

The Rev. Charles Kobe, pastor of the St. Paul's German Lutheran Church of Detroit, is the object of a curious suit brought in the "Wayne Circuit Court by some of his parishioners. It grows out of his views on salvation. The Rev. Mr. Kobe's interpretation of the scheme of salvation is that God, from eternity, has predestinated those persons to eternal life of; whom he foreknew that they, by the grace of the Holy Ghost, would bo--lieve iu Jesus Christ until their end. At a recent meeting of the Missouri Synod the scheme was interpreted to

be that God, without respect to faith or unbelief, has from eternity predestinated certain, persons unto faith and

'salvation that they shall and must be

saved, as certainly as God is God, and

' besides him there is juon e other. The

Rev. Mr. Rohe.said that he could not not subscribe to a:ay such interpretation, aud told the J3y nod so. Five inem' bers of the Synod agreed? with him, and they were all expelled from membership, and now twenty-two of the members of St. Paul 's want the Re v. Mr. Robe to resign, and the remaining ninety want him to stay. As he wishes to stay, the twenty-two have brought suit to compel him to go. If tho suit that will follow soon is the means of deciding just what is the correct interpretation of the true scheme of salvation, the Rev. Mr. Rohe will not have lived in vain, but then again3 it is not probable that the decision of the Wayne Circuit Court will be accepted by the doubting aud inquiring world as a final authority on 6iich a

subject. It is a kuotty question for the court to tackle, and if there is not a decision that will be satisfactory, there

I went down in the Woods, and cut

Of all immigrants the Germans are the least demonstrative in meet ins their friends.

About the time the new comet was

1 at its brightest, we took the occasion of

tribe,to ask him about the notions held by his people in regard to such celestial visi tan ts. Sam skl he would presen t-

Iv brine to us an old' man of his tribe

who had the whole dome of Heaven by heart. In some trepidation, after so much ceremony and; prepaiation, we finally ventured to ask the venerable

savant if he . knew anything, about

the comet recently seen flaming in the northern sky- He did- he knew all about it. "It was," he said "a wound

ed star. ' ' tiaitf he : 1 4lt is badly , hurt

but it will iret away-" Without further

ceremqny or preamble .he proceedwt to give us the whole economy of the celestial realms iu a nutrshelL'SO to sas. It

was as follows:

"The sun rules the heavens. He is

the big chief? the moon is his wife.and

the stars are his children. The sun he

oat him cuildren whenever he can

catch them. They are ali the time

afraid when he is . passing through iu

the above. When ho, their father, gets

up iu tho morning,you see all the stars,

his children, ny out or stgnt go away into the blue aud they do not make to

be seen aeuun till he. their lather, is

about for going to bed. Down deep under ground deep, deep is a great

hole. Her he go into this hole, tne sun, aud he crawl and ho creep .till he

come to hi bed ; seo then he sleeps there all night.; This is so little, and he, the sun, sc big, that ho cannot turp around in5t, so ho must, when he has had all his sleep, pass on then through, and wo see him next morning come out in tho .Sast. When be so comes out he begins to hunt, up through the sky to catch and eat any that he can of the stars, his children. He, the sun, is not all seen. ' ; The shape of him is like a snake or lizard. It .is not his head that we see, but his belly stuffed with the stars he has time's and times devoured. His wife, tho moon-, she goes into the same hole as her husband to sleep lutr naps. She have always great fear 'of hi ui. the . slur, that ha ve tier for his wife, and when ho . comes into the hole to sleep she long not stay

there if he be cross. She,

mo moon, nuve great iovo lor her children, the sta.iv, aud . is happy to bo travel! u g up w here they are. And the1?, the. children, feel safe

and smile as she passes along. But

she, their mother, cannot help but that one nust go every month. It . is ordered by Aah-ha, the Crreat Hpirit, that livesaboYe thojflaec of all, Every month Uo do swallow oneof his child

To this the old philosopher answered ; that such a thing was impopsible, ow- :. ing to the great heat above a nd about.the hole.
