THE GOODRICH^INE

How to Take a Trip on the Lakes From Ohlcago.

Of Interest to Excursionists.

A correspondent writes as follows from Chicago: Partaking of an excellent supper served at the popular Commercial .hpuse,

widely known, the writer and friend were soon at the wharf, where John the agent was found, waiting to escort us to the steamer Muskegon, Capt. J. F. Smallman commanding. Proceeding to the office we were introduced to the Captain a very agreeable and hearty old

sailor

of about thirty long seasons experience navigating the unsalted seas of the west. He at once found Mr. Gee, the clerk, and Mr. Jarvin Watson, the steward, and put us on a very sound standing with these two first rate gentlemen, and both were certainly very pleas-

Singleton told them

At sharp seven o'clock p. M. the im-

prosume mense whistles sounded, hawsers were cast off, and the mighty engines began to throb under the skillful care of the engineer. Splash went the great wheels, and we were oft for a trip directly across

Lake Michigan, IIO miles. Putting on wraps we went out on the

It was very cool, and pleasant beyondwords to tell, after all the intense heat, thick smoke, and horrid dust all over the busy streets of the busy city. It seemed so good that all one could do was simply to enjny and then enjoy again. Seeing the many vessels with their broad white wings spread to the breeze was very pretty, then the steamer passed close to the famous Crib, giving all of the passengers an opportunitty to see this great piece of very interesting engineering There is a large house and storage room built there, occupied by a family in charge. It makes a very cool summer residence, but very much like a prison, after a few weeks there, that would be apt to make one lonp for green fields, trees, in fact anything, just for a change.

is beautifully located within two blocks of the river, it has a large marble floored entrance lobby, high ceilings. All the walls and ceilings throughout are beautifully frescoed and decorated, large piazzas, wide roomy halls, large rooms, an unexcelled cool and airy dining roam, so arranged that the wind can sweep through it from any direction.

It has a fine elevator, gas works, steam heaters, fire annunciators, hot and cold water, four large parlors for ladies, and they are furnished in grand style, as is the entire house, and also has a large dancing hall, on the second floor. This hall is aboqt

finely frescoed and fitted with a stage tor parlor theatricals, by the guests. Dancing is indulged in nearly every evening to music given by a fine band here. In fact it is a perfect watering place hotel of the most elegant first-class style.

The tables are a specialty here and are certainly not excelled by any hotel in the whole country. The fish are made a particularly appetizing luxury. The house employes a special fisherman who brings in the fish for the meal about two hours before the tables are set, and the manner they are worked and served would make an epicure of the most aristocratic taste go into a frenzy of delight. The house accomodates about five hundred guests and large numbers come over from Chicago every Saturday to spend the Sabbath. The proprietor is a gentleman well known in Indiana, Mr. W. G. Sherman, well acquainted in Terre Haute, Suilivan, and down to Evans ville, and is certainly a very agreeable, genial and obliging host, sparing no expense to beautify and maintain his elegant hotel and to please his guests. He is a model proprieter for a watering place hotel, and is anxious to have his many old friends cf Terre Haute

to call and visit-hinvand see how nicely he can accommodate them for only $3°° per day, up te any jfigure. Boots, fishing tackie, bathingjsuits, and livery tea&is, are supplied at all times very cheap. He is assisted by Mr. Henry A.Allen the well known hotel clerk.

Directlv across the street from the hotel is Sheldens Magnectic minerals springs and bathing house of great notoriety. A large park beautifully laid out and ornamented with shrubbery, statuary, fountains, &c., surrounds the place and it also has a large bowling alley with four ranges. This is a very popular amusement with the many ladies stopping here. In fact there are few places where the jolly pleasure 6eekers of Terre Haute can go and be bettei entertained, have more opportunities for pastime, nicer weather and at cheaper rates than here. 1 ake the hint and visit the Sherman. Picnic and excursion parties will be delighted to visit here, for a day's pleasure.

THE WAY THEY DO IN CON

GRESS,

Saturday, when "Big English' saw that it was going to be a lonesome day for the bootblacks, he set his head to work to devise something to break the monotony. About ten o'clock he got a number of boys into the alley behind the postoffice and organized the "Forty Fifth Congress." "Big English" is a reg ular reader uf the daily papers, and he is agceat organizer. It took him but fifteen minutes to get the "Hiuse,"and "Senate" running so smoothly that lawyeis and others looked down from their windows with great interest. "Who's a liar?" yelled a white-headed boy as he jumped up. "Oh, dry up!" shouted "'Sixth

Ward Tom." '•Put him out—he was in the rebel army!-' called a boy from Grand River enue"Some one clubbed my dog fifteen years ago, and I can never forgive l'im," howled Strawberry Bob. "Git out the records and less see who was loyal,'' put in King's bov.

Big English rapped on his box to restore order, but King Tommy threw up his hat and yelled: '•I moves for the aizes and the nozes.'' "He can't gag me," shouted a lathv boy from Windsof. "Less have a salary grab," piped a Congress street boy. "The peepul won't stand it," whooped anothor. "Hain't we the peepul?" demanded a boy on the railing. "Are we one country?" asked the Speaker as he rose up. "I are, but you hain't!" Yelped "Nickety Nick." "Doesn't one flag float for us all!" continued the Speaker. "It does about tax-time!" screameda crossed-eyed youth from Springwells.

Somebody kicked the honorable Speaker. He then struck the hono-iable gentlemen from Wisconsin. The honorable gentleman from Wisconsin smashed at the honorable gentleman from Georgia, and hair stood up and coat tails stood o4t. When the row had quieted down the honorable Speaker remarked: "It was pretty good for the fust time, though you didn't abuse each other enough."

house and threatened, seemingly, to de molish the substance which received them imitations of various sounds, such as cannonading, the rattle of muaketry, drum rolls, bugle calls, the measured tramp of infantry, sounds of cavalry charging, Indian war# dances, imitations •f the human voice, fife and flute sounds, cars and steamboats in motion^—the latter being perfect in the imitation of the rattle of machinerg and the quivering of the hull of the vessel." These won derlul noises, so say the four witnesses, appropriately precede communications from spirits. Thus, the military sounds denote the coming of a soldier, and the music that of a musician. Mrs. Delaney does the things ordinarily done by mediums, such as producing materialized forms, written messages from the spirit world, and rappings in great varieiy. It seems, ho.wever, that nobody but believers are to witness these marvels, ioi the four witnesseb say: "It is time that the tables shouldbe turned. I is the self-suf-cient scientist, the skeptic and the bigot who should be put on their good behavior hereafter. They should be made to prove their own worthiness and honesty ot purpose before being allowed to approach the sanctuaries of the new dispensation."

Speaking at a vegetable banquet, at Leeds, in England, the other day, the Rev. C. H. Collyns said he was decended from a long line of gouty ancestors He had been a sufferer from gout, but having, more than ten years ago, become a total abstainer, and having, not long afterward, became a vegetarian, he had gradually driven the goutout, and could give no other reason for it except pure and wholesome living—total atstincnce trom'alcholic liquors and from flesh meat. The teeth of man showed that he was not a carnivorous, but a frugivorous animal, and the stomach, he contended, also showed that it was intended not to receive flesh, bat the fruits of the earth. He would not go back, to his former mode ot life for anything that could be given to him. Vegetarian diet agreed with the the delicate as well as the robust. It was wholesome and enjoyable, and to it he

owed a new lease of life.

Rodman, of La Rue County." The cane was presented to President Lincoln during his lifetime.

A QUAKER OUTWITTEj

•4 &

AH! IF BECKY HAD DONE AS THEE HAS

Wing Rogers was a Qnaker who lived among the hills of Vermont, and notwithstanding the reputation of liis sect for meekness, gentleness and magnanimity. he was an arbitrary old fellow, who led his wife a most unhappy lite. She was a patient, quiet woman, who submitted meekly to her tyrannical lord, and strove to slip through the world as unostentatiously as possible. Friend Wing was possessed of a goodly share of this world's goods. He was an unfailing attendant at meetings Sundays and Thursdays he was always with his family at the sanctuary. For what purpose he went there was"best known to himself very likyly to spend the quiet hour in concocting new schemes for the annov ance and humiliation of his wife but to her, the plain old house with its uncushioned seats, bare, unpainted floor .nd great square stove, was a very paradise the one safe reluge from the persecutions which were fast wearing out her life.

Fat horses and substatial vehicles had Wing in plenty judge then of her astonishment and despair, when, one pleasant first-day morning in the sixth month, he made his appearance at the door with a yoke of oxen attached to the family trundle-bed, and so complete was her subjection that she actually rode to meeting (about a mile) with her children on the absurb vehicle, while her husband strode by the side with his long whip, driving the oxen.

On one occasion they had been spending the long winter evening at a neighbor's. When the kitchen clock struck nine, the babv was carefully wrapped up and given to Friend Wing tp carry home, his wife passing on before him in the narrow snow-path. But when they reached home there was no baby, and in reply to the mother's anxious inquiries, he informed her she would find it about half a mile back in a snow-drift by the side of the road, which she did.

At last the pitying angels set her free In due course of time, Friend Rogers married again, and immediately eopimenced the course of training to which he had subjected his former slave. It did not take long to demonstrate that the piesent Mrs. Rogers was constructed ot different material from the meek and gentle first. After a brief season of grave and stately visiting, the pair came home to renew"the interrupted housekeeping. Monday morning he aroused, his new wife early, while it was yet Jrak, t: get up and attend to the washing, remarking: -I always have the washing done second day."

It was a double awakening to the wife, not only from a morning nap, but also to the knowledge that there was the opening of a struggle with her lord, with whose chatactcr she was imperfectly acquainted. She did'not rise ^immediately, but when she did, her first act was to remove the wash boiler from the stove with the remark (hat she did not propose to wash to-dav. Her husband looked surprised, but bided his time.

The next day he deliberately turned his large herd of cows into the rank meadows, just ready for the scythe, and hurrying to the house called his wife: "My dear, the cows are all in the meadows" thee must go and drive them out She took down her gingham sun-bonnet from its nail in the corner, and, without

Like a dutiful wife, she went to Her husband with her modest request, only to be case refused. The dishes were good enough

for Becky, and they were good enough for her at least she must make them do. for he should get no more.

But she had no idea of making them do. She went to the village store, made her selection (a modest, inexpensive seO or dered them sent home, and requested the merchant to charge them to her husband.

Smilingly she went about the clearing away, and when the men came to supper there was no shadow of a cloud on the domestic horizon. But the next day when Friend Wing came in from the field, he beheld a very large set of white fine stone ware on the kitchen table. Ah, this wife of his had not yet learned her lesson. It was a pity to destroy so much property, but he must teach her submission. She stood there calmly and remarked: "I hope thee will like these better the others aid not seem to please thee." With a heavy blow of his toot he upset the table, and startec out of the house.

Here the matter rested for nearly a week, long enough for the merchant^ to order and receive a full set of costly china, which, in due time, was transfered to madam's kitchen table. The intimidated Quaker saw and acknowledged his defeat. Shaking his head sadly, he exclaimed "It cost too much then with a sigh. "Ah if Becky had done as the® has, she might have been living now."

It is needless to add that thenceforth their domestic life was serene*

Sometimes it attacks only one side of the street. It first kills animals, and then the population, if they have not profited by that warning. The treatment consists in supplying the patient with a jarful of water to drink, and leaving him quiet in his state of stupor, only rousing him once a day by poking him with a long pole through the window. But, notwithstanding '-treatment," the people say that this and other similar novel direases have caused as great a loss of lives ns the rebel.ion itself.

The hole in the transom was very smali and as Ernest was a slender young man about twenty years of age, and was seen about the store a good deal he was the most suspected party.

Yesterday evening about seven o'clock he was arrested near the National hou-se and taken around to M. Stack's office. They came out plainly and told him that" he knew he entered he store, in order to catch him told him they had a witness who saw him go over the transom. They pro*nised him if he would confess and return the money they would release him and say nothing about it. He neither assented" nor refused, so they took him down to Mr. Mickey's store and talked the matter over. Hickey was ry unwilling to stop prosecution, but finally assented.

All four afterward talked it over at the watch house on the E. & C. road at the Poplar street crossing, and Ernest finally said "Well 1 will come to time." They accepted the offer and immediately started back up Popular. When near Mayer's brewery Ernest said "If you fellows go back on me and prosecute me after I have given up the money I will killjevery man that has a hand in it." They thought nothing of this as they fully intended to get in good faith with him. When they got back to the store it was arranged that Hickey and Cleary should proceed with him to his house south of Oak street, and that Stack should wait for them at the grocery. This he did. They went to the house, and Ernest told them he could not pay but half of the money back, as another fellow, whose name he would not give, was his accomplice, but that he would get it in the morning.

This morning he was perfectly rational and talked freely, giving in substance what printed above, until about noon, when Dr. Link advised him to keep quiet, and then no one further was admitted to him.

THE PURSUIT,

After failing to meet Cleary at the corner of Seventh, Chief Stack proceeded to the station house where he awaited Cleary's return. He expected that they would go out to hunt for the accomplice that Whitehouse had mentioned, taking them along with them.

When he heard the shots fired he ran out to

His criminal career, though commenced early, has been extensive and checquered. He was sent twice to the reformatory and each time escaped. He was once arrested at the depot and put in jail.

He is remembered very distinctly on occasion by Ye gay GAZETTEER. That emissary ot this paper went down to interview him and as he was being brought out into the hall he made his escape and was not recaptured for three months. He served two years at JefferSDnville and ju?t got out in February.
