ST. MARYS.

HAITIXESS ANDTROUBLE. The people of St. Marys had landed themselves happy, after their great and successful victory in exterminating the evil of intemperance, especially as the moral change was sojperceptible as to be a subject of general remark. Many of those that had not joined our Total Asstinence Society had become temperate, by the good influence auriounding them, and we felt much gratified that such a great change had been made, and thai the great evil that had so long disgraced the name of St. Marys, was eradicated, and that the temptation to evil had become so little here, that we could almost live here pure and undeflled. In the mid6t of our joy and consolation, there arose another evil amongst us, which did its fatal work in the mid hour ot night, causing destruction to life and property while in the sweet repose of sleep. Your readers will remember being advised through the columnskof jour paper, of the different depredations committed during last summer on the I. & St. L. R. R., in the vicinity of St. Marys, as follows:

On the morning of the 29th of last May alarm w'as given to the agent at St. Mary's, by a man passing b}', that the depot was orv fire. Through the effort ot that man and the agent the fire was extinguished without doing much damage to the depot. It was then found that the depot had been unlocked by the means of afaflsekey, the ticket office had been pilfered, and an attempt had been made ,to rob the ticket case but had failed. The parties then set fire to the depot on the inside and left. Fortunately the fire was discovered in time to save the building.

On Saturday night of June the Sth, about 12 o'clock, the agent wat aroused from his sleep by the sound of a sharp whistle near the depot. He heard the rumbling noise of a train us though it was making a sudden stop, and heard the voice of a man hallowing as if in distress. The agent jumped from his bed, and on looking out of his door beheld the awful scene in front of his house of the engine, tender and eleven box cars piled in and on top of each other and into the depot, a total wreck. One brakeman was killed and was under the ruins. On examination it was found that the switch had been unlocked by a false key, and had been thrown over to wreck the train. The debris was removed as speedily as poswble.the unfortunate brakeman was found and sent to hit. mother at Parkersburg, Va., the depot was repaired and nicely painted,

and

all in

good

order again,

when on Sunday night of July 21st, at about 11 =30 the agent was aroused again from his sleep by a noise resembling 'something heavy falling on the floor. He saw a light of something on fire, and

looking out of

the window he saw the flames bursting out of the depot. Finding that the fire had got too far advanced to save the depot, and finding the heat and flames too intense to enter the building, he went to work to save his dwelling house and furniture. The alarm was given

the

village bv the ringing of the church and school bells, and the villagers were on hand in time, and by hard and hot work succeeded in saving the agent's house and contents.

On the night of the 27th of August, the section foreman's hand-car house was bioktn open, but the only articles taken were a claw bar and screw wrench, evidently for the purpo of drawing the spikes and making loose the rails to wreck the trains again. Eaily on the following morning, August 28th, a nil was found loose, with the spikes drawn, about one mile west of St. Mary's,ready to

wreck

the excursion train that would pass about eight o'clock a. m. loaded with pas 6engers to attend the Catholic Total Abstinence Convention to be held on that day at Indianapolis. Fortunately the loose rail was found and spiked down before the train came, or there would have been a terrible wreck and many persons killed. ISight-watch was then put on to patrol the track at night. For a while everything was quiet. The watchnan was laken off, and on the firs' night after the watchman was taken off, another rail was made loote or.e mile east of St. Marys and wrecked a freight train. From that time the people of St. Marys began to become greatly alarmed and to believe some persons owe a great grudge, to St. Marys or to the I. & St. L. R. R. Co, and the great queires were as to who it was doing it and what it was done for, As the tramps are always c.:nsured for all depredations committed, they were the first to be accused but after considering they would have no object in doing an injury here, as they had nevei been refused anything 10 eat at St. Marys and had always been well fed at the sisters whenever they asked for it, we came to the conclusion that it was net the tramps, and that this would be the last place that they would try to injure. We were then left clouded in mvsterv and could not re6t suspicion on anyone a» we did not know nor had heard of any person here who was an enemy to either the sisters or the railroad company. Efforts were then made to find out the guilty parties and bring the offenders to justice. The railroad company then employed secret detectives to come out from Chicago to work up the case and after a long lime and with sharp planning they have well succeeded in finding who are criminals and have them now in jail awaiting their trial. Much credit is due to detective James Finucan and many thanks to him by the people of St. Mary's for hid successful efforts in working up the case which has relieved them frotr much dread and fear.

We hope if the parties arrested are the guilty ones lhat they will get the full penalty of the law. The object for committniu'the crime is yet a mystery hard to i-olvt', which we are anxious to know and ho "t it will come to light before the villains are convicted. The 6uit will be a spirited contest as there are nearly a half score of attorneys on both sides and a score of witnesses.

FOUND.

One day last week Joseoh Watson, ot Lost Creik township, lost his pocket book containing $130 in money and tome notes of value to him. He advertised his loss in the GAZETTE and was delighted to recover his prop erty this morning, it having been found by Jacob Barringer, a grocer at 832 east Main street. Mr. Watson is to be congratulated on having his pocket book found by so high-minded and honorable a man as Mr. Barringer, and was only too glad to give him a $20 bill for restoring his prdperty.

A DEER HUNT.

Yesterday a party of four hunters, Messers. F. M. Howe, D. B. Howe, Andy Baker, and all of our city, were out on a hunt south of here, below the mouth of Sugar Creek. When crossing Eilert Harms,large farm, they ktarted up a fine two year old dear, a buck, fat and plucky, and after a short chase, he was shot. This is the first deer shot in that section of the state in quite a number of years.

AN energetic citizen of Terrc Haute bought a cow and calf of county Commissioner Newton Bledsoe, yesterday. About dark he made up his mind to get it tnat night. So, taking a colored youth with him, he went there last night in a spring wagon. He left on the return trip about 11 o'clock, with the calf in the wagon and thec.y. driving the cow. The cavalcade reached the city 6 o'clock this morning and the c. v., after an all night walk, looked tired.

THE INDIANAPOLIS POOL. There was a con/erence yesterday at Indianapolis, between the pool managers and a committee of shippers with a view to preventing discrimination in freights against Indianapolis. It was not a movement, however, to abolish the pool, but only so to correct it that no one city should be able to obtain an undue ad* vantage.

A DIVISION of the estate of the late Curtis Gilbert was made among the heirs yesterday, After the division had been agreed upon by the parties interested in the entire property was transfered by them to John G. Williams and by him back to the several heirs in separate parts. The old homestead is the joint property of E. W. and H. C. Gilbert.

A WOMAN'S WORDS.

The Schools of a few Years ago Compared With Those of To-day,

Also, Those two Lecturers Again, in Which the Gentleman Correspondent is

Severely Taken to Task.

THEN AND NOW.

I never see the small army of children pouring out of one of the commodious, and, in many cases, even elegant building! whic'i are provided for the use of the public schools of to-day, that I do not mentally make many comparisons between the now and the then of years ago, when I was a little girl and went to school, too. My first school house, especially, is so vividly photographed on memory that I can still form a mental picture of it, in all its primitive ugliness and discomfort. These accidents, however, did not affect my childish mind disagreeably, and many of the brightest memories of childhood linger lovingly around that old house.

It consisted of one small room, and was built of logs. It had a capacious fire-place in the end opposite the door, and two windows, one on each side of the house. It boasted one long desk which was placed against the wall near one of the windows. At that time no one was supposed to need a desk except those who wrote in copy-books, and, as only the older and more advanced pupils did that, one desk was amply sufficient for their number.

The room was guiltless of any trace of a blackboard. Pupils who were so fortunate as to own slates "ciphered" on them proudly and were blissfully ignorant of the existence of anything better.

Indeed, I think it probable that the introduction of a blackboard would have been looked upon bv the more conservative patrons of the school as a dangerous innovation. It would most certainly have been instantly frowned down by our economical board of trustees, as a needless expente for which there was no precedent. And if a teacher had had the temerity to urge its necessity, it would have cost him his dismissal at the end of the quaiter, even if he had net been promptly "turned out" at the time.

The door was fastened by a wooden latch and beside the door, upon a peg driven into the wall, hung a 6tick of a peculiar shape, which the favored pupil who had the much coveted leave of absence from the room took with him and replaced on his return to duty. The absence of the stick was a notification that no one else need ask for this high privilege. How anxiously the weary urchins, perched upon benches without backs, and much too high for their short legs, looked for the sign of the stick. And how refreshing the semi-daily scamper through the cool shadows of the trees, down to the spring. For this house with many drawbacks had likewise its attractive features (in compliance with the law of compensation.) It stood in the woods, and its playgrounds were of nature's own handiwork which no landscape gardener has ever yet successfully imitated.

The water, which was carried to our thirsty lips in a huge gourd, flowed from a natural spring just out of sight of the school house windows. How often, while loitering there much longer than was r.ecessarj, the favored couple who had been sent to fill the bucket, felicitated themselves on this most happy circumstance.

The recesses, which were given to the sexes separately in th®se days, the girls first, and their brothers afterward, were always too short, a fault which, I dare say, they have not gotten over to this day. Being then at an age that is not given to much reasoning I did not inquire the why of that plan of conducting recesses. But I now think it was in order that the teacher might thus "put in" every moment of his time and, if possible, earn his money, which, if I remember correctly, amounted to the generous sum of twelya dollars a month and board 'round. The signal for "book's, which was appropriately given by the teacher thumping on the window wtih one of the distasteful articles themselves was always heard with regret (this feeling, also, has survived the passing years) but, nevertheless was promptly obeyed. Obedience was classed among the cardinal virtues and was exacted, by both parents and teachers, to the letter.

But when we come to speak of the "noons" language fails, utterly, to express their delightfulness. A long hour of perfect freedom, to enjoy the never ending beauties, and treasures ol the woods for most of us lived too far away for the walk home at mid day. And such perfectly delicious lunches

never expect to

eat again, as those which, when the weather was fine, we ate sitting on the grass beneath some favorite tree, with merry companions around us, with perhaps, a squirrel chattering and whisking his tail saucily among the branches near us, and with the blue, summer sky over all. .u

And then such houses as we built afterward of the supple hazel boughs and thatched with shining green leaves, the architecture of men can never hope to rival. Such carpets as the mossy ones which covered our floors, no eastern loom has ever yet sent out. Such flowers and vines, sought for far and wide to beautify our dwellings, and such brie a-brac as we culled from the hidden treasure houses of nature, no modern collection can ever rival in my affections.

Children brought up in towns and cities have advantages immeasurably superior to.those we enjoyed during that memorable/"one summer of which I write, but fbr all they have lost losing those noon I shall never cease to pity them most profoundly.

one dreamed of the

HA DTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

extravagance of buying a new text rook, just because his happened to be different from all the others. How the teacher managed has always been a mystery to me since I have been old enough to reflect about it, but the results were usually looked upon as pretty satislactory.

I wa6 one of the yougef pupils aud my aspirations were q.ute modest, but I remember very distinctly the rivalry which existed among the favored possessors of Andybody's third part of arithmetic, as to the number of times they had respectively "ciphered through the hook."

My books at that time were two in number, a reader and a speller, both McGuffey's. Slates were not to be thought of for little folks.

Now it must no", be supposed that the community of which this school was a part, consisted of either very poor or exceptionally uncultivated people. But the locality was decidedly '"out west" at that time (it is far from it now) and people had but little time, amid the multiplicity of ires which the circumstances forced upon them, to alteod to educational matters. Changes, however, took place rapidly with the passing years. So rapidly that, during rny schooldays, our school passed from the beginning which I have partially described, and which is a literal picture so far as it goes, nothing being exaggerated in the least, through the various grades until it culminated in the smart western college, with -its library its incipient museum, and its chemical, philosophical, and astronomical apparatus.

But a few words about the methods of teaching which obtained in thtise days. An idea may be formed of the system (or want of it) which prevailed, when I say I never recited a geography lesson in school in my life. In those days public schools were not in existence. We went to "subscription scheols" and studied what we or our parents pleased. Our neighboorhood was rent into factions on the subject of the proper method of teaching geography. My father opposed the method then in use, and so his children boasted no geography and atlas among their literary possessions. But the very fact of its being prohibited increased my desire to learn it and so when the geography class stood up to "say their lesson" (we did not "recite"' in tho-e days) 1 fear the work I should have been doing was sadly neglected, for I soon learned to sing the states and capitals" with the best of them beginning with Maine, Maine Augusta, Augusta and so on through the list, which was not quite 60 long as it is now.

Though what a state was, or a capital either, I had not the faintest idea, for the teacher did not ask but I remember I always thought of a playmate named Augusta when we began the song though what she had to do with Maine I did not understand—and don't yet.

But your are not to suppose lhat the singing was all. Every day there was a list of questions assigned in the geography, the answers to which were to be found in the atlas. As the class was arranged in the same order day after day, and as the teacher invariably gave the first question to the first pupil, and so on around the class, turning neither to the right nor the left— how could he, poor man, when he had to hear twenty-five or thirty classes per day the questions were often counted and paralelled out, each pupil industriously hearing hit or her own snare.

This method, as anyone can see, saved the pupils a great deal of trouble and the lesson was usually disposed of with a promptness and dispatch to delight the heart of the strictest committee man.

But now and then some luckless wight forgot his answer, the question was passed to the "next" and then but the result is better imagined than described. Not that I would criticise the teacher ol that day. The power of circumstance is strong, and who can assert that, under the same conditions, he would have done better? No doubt but twenty years hence our tuccessors will look back at us with the same wonder, pity, and criticism, that we now bestow up those who have gone before us.

Of our present system ot schools, of which we are all so juttly proud, and of the methods of teaching employed at the present day. nothing need be said. Every intelligent'person in the community is acquainted with both.

In comparing the benifigial results arising from the educational advantages of the two periods, the past of which I write, and the present, I hope I may not be considered as willingly unjust—for I say it with great reluctance, but my ob •eryation forces me to the conclusion that the odds are not all in favor

the pres

ent. It seems to me that, in 6pite of their obvious disadvantages, the proportion of earnest workers among the pupils was larger then than now. It seems to me that, in spite of everything that money, (and plenty of it too) and intelligent thought, and systematic work, can do for the convenience, comfort, and instiuction of the children and youth of the day, entirely too many of them—remember I do not say all, or even a majority—but too many of them are gotten through the coursfc not so much by their own will and pleasure, as by their teachers at school pulling, and their parents at home pushing them, where they ought to go willingly, and gladly, and of their own accord.

Now, if I am right, who or what is to blame for this state of thiogs? Certainly not the teachers. Nor yet the schools, for their advantages and excellence multiply, and are our constant boast.

Does it result from any lack of interest or neglect of duty on the part of parents? Does it spring from any circumstance or combination ot circumstances peculiar to to the times? Is it inevitable and to be expected, or is there a remedy fbr the evil and, if so, who will tell us where to find it?

INGERSOLL AND THE PKOPL*. •. In reply to the "gentleman" whose criticism on my article of last Saturday appeared in Monday's issue of the GA-

ZETTE

1imde™!J!S

why some fine has "id, -the P*radwe with angelf at its gates is, Long Ago. But we lust not forget to speak of the business wKch brought our little band together uner that dear old roof. The text books Ised at that tone were few number,

I will saj that, in view of the very

"little weight" which the article would have possessed, even without the grievous faults which he was so kind as tojointout it would perhaps have been just as profitable for him to employ his valuable time in 6ome other way.

But, since he thought it necessary to notice my "few words," I should have been extremely obliged to him if he had

criticism reminds met very forcible ot tiie kind of argument Mr. Ingersoll uses in trying to array poetry against religion Especially in his lecture on Burns. He quotes with great enthusiasm, and decided effect, everything the Scottish bard says in denunciation of hypocrites (all of which every .true Christian says amen to, even more earnestly than Mr. Ingersoll himself.) but, with supreme indifference to consistency, he completely ingnores those passages which show very plainly the reverence the poet feels for true religion.

So with this gentleman in his criticism of my article. He quotes part of a sentence and puts his own construction on it, thereby completely changing my meaning. Permit me to deny most emphatically that "in speaking of the happy family life of Mr. Ingerso'.l," I said, "I do not believe one word of it." That would have been an inconsistency worthy of Mr.n Igersoll himself", since I know nothing whatever of him of his family save through his printed lectures. What I did say is this, "I know all that is said about the happy family life which is held up as the result of his infidelity, and I do not believe one word of it. He may be just as good a husband and father as he is represented to be, but, if so. it is not by reason of his principles, but in spite ot them."

Permit me to advise the "gentleman" to read a little more attentively in the future before deciding to criticise. Again, when I quoted the passage, "We are all sculptors and painters, and our materials are our own flesh and blood and bone any nobleness begins at once to refine a man's features, anv meanness or sensuality to embrute them." I was describing Wendell Phillips, and cited him as illustration of the first part of the quotation. I had no idea of using Mr. Ingersoll as an example of the opposite extreme. On the contrary I said distinctly, "some broken, tottering wretch, the wreck ol a once 6trong ana comely man, whose dismal plight is the direct result of wickedness or crime." No one could possibly mistake this description for Mr. Ingersoll unless he di.l it wilfully and for a purpose. Those of us who have not seen Mr. Ingersoll himself are too familiar with the portly, erect, and very self-satisfied pictures which represent him ever to paint him in such a guise as the ahove. No, the point is just this. Mr. Ingersoll must be permitted to say what he pleases say it how he pleases, when he pleases, where he pleases, and in denunciation of whom h? pleases (and the popular lecturer is not slow in avail ing himself of all his privileges) and it is all right and proper. This a tree country, and freedom of speech must be maintained at all hazards.

But just let any one begin to "talk back" at him, and the cry of bigotry, intolerance, and uncharitableness is raised at once by his adherents. I learned in my early school days that it makes all the difference in the world whose ox is gored. 1 have nothing to say about Mr. Ingersoll as a man. He may be as happy as his defender claims, for all I know. It is not very important question to society either way. But I claim the right to express my opinion of his peculiar sentiments, and of the probable effect of the teaching of his principles. And I shall certainly exercise i: whenever I think it necessary. If Mr. Ingersoll's friends do not like what I say, why, I do not like many things Mr. Ingersoll says so we are even in that rdspect.

In the expressive language of Mr. Anon, one of the mo3t noted authors of the age "what is sauce for the masculine feuthered biped whose cackling is said once to have saved Rome is also sauce foi the feminine members of that illustrious family.

INGERSOLL AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS. I feel greatly obliged to Mr. Ingersoll, 1 am 6ure, for the pretty things he said abbut women, through a lady admirer of his, in last week'g Mail. And now I suppose I am expected, in return, to confess my base ingratitude, and promise to find no fault with him henceforth forever.

It was not, hower, his gallantry, or his views on the subject ot woman's rights that I called in question in my recent article on Ingersoll and Phillips, but the probabl effects of his (Mr. Ingersoll's religious, or irreligious) principles should they ever become prevalent. And, as I still believe that such an event would not result in good, either to society in general, or to women in particular, I see no cause to retract anything 1 have said heretofore.

I do not expect to convert anyone to my way of thinking and discussions are always distasteful to me. All that I care to do is to give my reasons for my belief and for the assertions which grew out of tt.

It is an Undisputed fact that innd other country in the world are women treated wtith so great respect and consideration as in America.

Nowhere else do they enjoy anything like that degree of freedom, and liberty of action that they do here. No otljer man on earth has so profound a reverence for true womenhood, or is so generous of deferential attentions, needful protection of his superior strength, as the American gentleman. Now there is certainly a cause back of all this.

Other nations surpass us in many other particulars. Why then does America lead the van in the emancipation of women from universal and undeserved subordination.

The reason, I think, may be found in this: The government under which this grand and noble work has been done was founded by earnest, steadfast, Christian men and on such principles as they, in their God given wisdom,deemed just and

true. Now all the liberty which our government has secared, not only for its own people, but, through its potent and farreaching influence, for all the people of the world (and he who is familiar with tqe great changes which the last century has brought about, cannot fail to see th'e grandeur of the work done) is but the necessary and inevitable outgrowth of these eternal principles of truth and justice which found such eloquent expression in W6*

Th$ social and intellectual advancment womefe is but apart of this grand national progress, apart of that universal liber* ty which, if thie xistance of this government be not an accident, it is its mission, sooner ftr later, to accomplish for the

Id. if thisTbe true, we need not re 1y ibfc the" weak and puny efforts of indi

qnoted them correctly. This style of vidual 'tiformer&'lfor the security of our

recently gained equality, but may hope to go on and fulfill our de*tiny in the historv of the race.
