His capture is a source of satisfaction to all good people It is a surprise only to those persons who have been unacquainted with his wanderings. But in police circles it has been well understood for some time that he was coming back to-Terre Haute, hanging around the place with the tatal folly which lures a moth to the flame. Aside from thir, he has been actuated by a species of bravado, which led him to believe that he was a terror to the community, and a hero of r.o ordinary type. Me has been assisted in this foolish notion by the attention given him by thfe press, and by the adulation of addle-pated peo pie who have flattered him into believing that recklessness in the commission of wrong, or in attempting lo escape its consequences, is courage,£ and that physical courage is an oflf-tt in full for any amount of crime. An idea of that kind has fatally recked his lite, and would do irreparable injury to the youth of the community if it became prevalent. It should be stamped out as the beginning of a fire, the consequences whereof for evil cannot be calculated.
Looked at properly this boy is a miserable object of pity and contempt and righteous indignation. There is not a reputable parent in all this town who would not gladly follow his son to an early grave with a good name untarnish ed, rather than have him live to become such a mean and misshapen thing. Let any boy cast up the account himself and see how .it 6tands and what a fearful warning this wretched miscreant's career is from beginning to end He had a good place for a boy of his age on the railroad here, and kind and encouraging friends to help him. Thousands of boys with yery much worse starts, have made rich and prosperous and respectable men of themselves, who could hold their heads up and look in any body eyes. Gratitude to the friends who were helping him and to the family which he pretended to lo\e should have assisted to keep straight. But he became thief. There is no way in which you can put it to make stealing right or a thief reputable. When he came back from the penitentiary there was a general desire to help him. Good people went out of their way to assist, feeling, not that he w?s a hero, but a poor wretched, miserable, little boy,who would go to the bad if not encouraged in right doing. And he did go to the bad For the 6econd time he became a thief, and then, setting in dtfiance all law,

To this the rtply was: "Major, you are so seldom at church that I could not know when to prepare a sermon personal to your case, and that relieves rae fro your accusation.

KAISER WILHELM.
Late Saturday afternoon an attempt was made to assassinate the Emperor of Geimany while he was out driving with the Grand Duchess of Baden. Fortunately the attempt was an utter failure, nobodv even being hurt. The man who nude the attempt lived in Leipsic, and had come to Berlin, perhaps, with the?
idea V^ ot creating
a sensation Dy killing "the head ot the Nation. There is little reason to doubt that he wai insane—that murderous kind of insanity for which hanging is the old and only reliable remedy. He claimed after his ai rest that it was not his original purpose to kill Kaiser Wilhelm. What he wanted to do was to shoot himself .'"^In a crowded street, and in the Emperor's presence, with a view to calling the attention of all mankind to the condition of the people ''of whom," as Artemus Ward would say, "he was which." Vc strangely, however, he pointed the pistol at his kin&, feeling, no doubt, lor the moment, in a gush of emotional inanity, that the Emperor's death would awake more of a stifcHuand do more to call the attention of mankind to the condition of the people than hit own death and be, perhaps, all tilings considered, less disagreeable to himself. "The prisontr"—so reads the dispatch —"was in possession of several Socialistic writirgs the tickets of membership of several Berli'i Socialistic Unions, and the likenesses ol two Socialistic leaders." "He declared that he belonged to no party, but was an anarchist, the enemy of all political parties, the present condition of society and public institutions.' Very natura.lv he thought the way lo make prospeiity was by killing the representatives of law and order,—the things which stood as obstacles in the way of his making an even divide with his more prosperous fellow citizens. He had probably be oine persuaded by the pamphlets in his possession that his poverty, or rather his be'ng less well off than his neighbors, or not so well off as he wished he was, was not his tault, but the effect of vicious legislation which had enabled others, who had property tor which they had worked, to rob him of money he never made. Being per.-uaJed that the Emperor was an utterly vicious man, who deli^h ted in robbery and oppression,—as it is very well understood all rulers do—and th?t having made Germany the first power in Europe he must b^ a SCOJH Irel, and having plenty to eat he must be the ihiet who had rob" baJ hi of tlie bred hi had n*ver earned, it only remained for hm to kill him. And il only remains to quietly hang the man who put in jeopardy the tranquility of Europe, by making an attempt on the lif^ of the ruler ol the great power, whose voice is now most potential in European affairs, and whose sympathies are on the side of peace.
NAKED SPOOKS. .f
4j
Naked spooks is the latest dodge at Pence's Pandetronium ^^They are a little bit shocking to the ordinary article of home made modestv, but it must be admitted they are more in accordance with the eternal principles of ^spookology than the dressed-up spook. Many a man, doubtless, who could believe in the materialization of the ruw and naked spirit has not been able to persuade himejelf of the possibility of materializing boots and bracelets and collars nd coats (great and J^etti), and various other articles ot wearing apparel. Their materialization of these inanimate things has been a stumbling block in the path of ma a man to whom the naked truth would have come like a revelation of loveliness, which, as all know. •'Needs rot the allof foreign ornament, lint If, when anadorntd, adorned to
The GAZETTE sincerely trusts these ghostly visitants from "over the river," as spiritualists always speak of dead people—did you ever notice that, reader?— will not catch cold from such exposure of their persons. It would be distressing beyond measure to have the epizootic carried "over the river."
4
We cannot help regretting that Vie people "over the river,'' judging from •samples of spooks furn shed at the Pandemonium, and the tact that no blush of shame mantles their laces when they expose their persons.—we cannot help regretting, we repeat, thit the people "over the river" seem to be chiefly blafcklegs and prostitute*. Only the worst representatives of these two cla:ses, on this bid" of the river, would ever dream of making the indecetat exposures of their persons which are matters cf nightly occurrence with the swamp angels from 'over the river," who disport themselves at the Pandemonium We had hopes that even in Hell some of the decencies and proprieties of liie were observed, and that there were depths of dirt to which even devils would not descend. Let us be just. Let us give even devils their dues. While these swamp angels are making these mdecetit exposures, the lights are turned down dim and indistinct. But it is mentioned as a matter of hope with the faithful, that the medium may develop suffi ciently in time to materialize her Spooks in a glare of light, and then even this little shred of decency, this paltry £g leaf of modesty will be removed..
This feast of filth is promised in the sweet buy and buy.

THE total vote fcr Cocncilmen at the Tuesday election was* 4,691. This is, perhaps, one hundred short of the actual number of legal voters in the city. This conclusion is reached as follows: At the October election for Trustee in,1876, the vote for Harrison township, including the city, was 5,03s. At the April election, last past, the vote for Harrison township, including the city, wa» 4.357* At that election the vote of the township outside of the city was 375 Subtracting 375,—the vote for that portion ot'the township outside of the city—from the total for thet jwnship, and the city vote in 1876 was 4,653 and in A pril 3.982. The vote in April was notoriously a liuht one, no one working but the Notionals who won a partial victory by reason of that apathy on the part of the rnembeisof the other parties. But in October 1876 the vot: of the city was 4,653. This year it was 4,691 or only 3S voters more than it was nearly two years ago. In that time, however, the voting population has increased at the least calculation 138,80 that the total vote wis one hundred less than the number of legitimate voters. But there were, perhaps, two hundred men who had a right to vote who did not exercise that privilege, and that just about tallies with the careful estimates which have been made, showing that the farmers' wagons, which were to come in to help the Notionals, brought in with them one hundred Notionals !rom the rural districts as ballast.
The total vote, itself, was not as large as the city has by fuliy one hundred. Next fall everv Democratic vote will be cast., -t I f,

IIEKRY GARY BAIRD lives in Phila delphia, and announces himself to the census taker as a political economist. He gave vent to some of the ideas swelling in his bosom, before the Banking and Currency Committee ot the House, the other day. One of the points advanced by him was that the govern meut ought to issue $2,000.000,000 o^ greenbacks, and call them dollars that they should be based on nothing and be converted into nothing. He announced that a national debt was a national bless, ing, and said the country wouid be vastly better off to-day if the wir had continued four years longer, and had made the debt five billion of dollars. Mr. Baird is th® father and leader of the Notional party in Pennsylvania as Hon. Jaines Hook is of it he.re in Vigo County.

WHITE HOUSE EXPLATNS THINGS A. SHOWS BRAVE DEKDS BF CKONIN AND CLEARV.
Terre Haute, Irn^., May 14, 1S78. I was bom in the state of Pennsylv a, on the 17th day of January, ISJS. lived in several places alter that, and last settled in this place (Terre Ilaut some years ago. Some people said th I was a good boy until I went on th Vandalia road. My ruin dated from little time before I left the roid. I wa convicted cf larceny a slv rt time afte and sent to the states prison. I serve out time, came back and was a bette man until I got drunk and robbed store. I was arrested by John Clear and shot him, but with no intent to kill, —only to effect my escapeI was chased all over Illinois and go away from my pursuers. During th chase I saw Frank Stewart in a buckboard and also Gibson, who emptied his revolver at me, but missed me. 4
For eight days after I shot Cleary I was chased through Illinois by bands of armed men. I borrowed a great many horaes to ride while they were after nae but managed to escape them all. I was surrounded several times and always broke the circle At the end of the chase I was almost given out. Nothing but an iron will, which never failed me, kept me up as long as tlut,
I encountered a party of four on the railroad near Charleston, one of whom was Con Cronin. He was the best and bravest of all four. I returned to Terre Haute several times afterward. The last time I came back, the house I was in was surrounded by police, on last Sunday afternoon. I gave them the best resistance in my power, but it was no good A bullet grazed mv right shoul der. lid Vandever was shot in the leg and John Cleary was also shot in the hand and leg. It was mainly owing to him that I was captured, and if it was not for him I would not have been cap'.ured, Ed Vandever got very brave after it was, all over, I having disarmed him and he was helpless. He raw in and caught me by, the throat and choked n.e very hard. I hope the people will not think me as bad as they try to make me out.
ERNEST WHITEHOUSE.
I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER.
I remember, I remember, The cot where I was born— Wnere my ''cute and cunning little eyes"
First saw the rosy morn Where I sat. upon my mamma's knee, And her long hair would yank, Wlien ehe'd show how dearly she loved me
By a sound, emphatic spank.
I remember, I remember, In the days that have gone by, When therj was no molasses in the house,
How I would sit down and cry, And ask my mamma for somd jam, Then with my fingers spread, Then right into my moutn would cram.
A big, thick chunk of bread.
I also do remember, •SinCd I have become a man, How I became enamored
Of a certain Mary Ann. It happened in the usual way— The usual missives passed, In which she stated many a day
For me she had been eassed.
I remember, I remember, & At the ball when next we met, It was the last night in December.
Oh, 1 never can forget The ruddy glow upon her cheek— 1 Her mass of''bang-up" hair! And every time she'd fling and kick,
Her partner he vould rear.
vi/ .• r:
I remember, I remember, IIow she threw that kiss to me, Where I stood up in the gallery,
To see what I could 6ee. But she's given me the "mitten" now. Just all because that I Couldn't bring her to a brown-stone front
To live and love for aye.
I also do remember That the poet once did say, "'Twas ever thu* from childhood's hour
I've seen my fond hopes decay." But theie'sone fond hope I cherish still, And which to me is dear— That anothrr chunk her placc will fill

ABOUT FODDER CORN. In the spring of 1877 I began to plant corn 011 the 5th of May but part of the same field, planted on the 12th, did better—the land was not warm enough on the 5th. On the 5th and 12m, one-half acre was planted on the 17th of May planted an acre on the 5th of Junes planted about one quater ot an acre, after a crop of rye cut and dried for hay on the 23rd of June planted h:t!f an acre, after taking oif a crop of oats. On the 28th ot June began to feed the corn planted on the 5th and 12th of May fed the half acre in ten days. The averageyield was at the rate of about 12 tons per acre. The same land was lepUntcd with com on the 7th of July. The second planting was all cut before the corn tasseled. This made at the rate of 28 tens to the acre in 53 da\s. On the 8U1 day of Septsmder the same l.ind was town to winler rye.—[Corres New England Farmer.
