OBITUARY.

COREY BARBOUR.

2 fro4» Weantriday's Dally. At four o'clock this morning Corey iBarbour died at his residence, north of the city, at the advanced age of seventy* •wo year6. He had been sick five days, and his Anal dissolution was caused by feeart disease. 7 he history of ^|Corey Barbour is almost co-equal ^With that of Vigo County! He hgs been litre since early youth and there were ai the time ot his death very few older settlers of the county living.

From Mr. Charles T. Noble the GAIBTTE has gotten the dates and principal fact* used in the appended sketch.

Corev Barbour was born in 1807. at Champion, near Water town, in Jefferson county, New York, he was the eldest ol the four sons of VI r. Daniel Barbour. When ten years old his father removed Jto Indiana, bringing his tamily with him, |and »ettled in Fayeit township, near «few Goshen. Daniel Barbour, a remarkable old gentleman, an extended account of whose life was once printed f»n these columns, died a few years since lat the advanced age of ninety-six.

In 1829 Mr. Daniel Barbour bought a -quarter section of land, north Qf the citv, •of Mr. Ben. McKeen, and gave it to his *©n Corev. This land co*t five dollars san acre it is now worth one Hundred' %nd fifty per acre, showing how greatly ^:|re®) estate has enhanced in value during f|jtke jeare which have intervened.

The farm we* afterward enlarged by %he addition of a second quarter section making 320 acres in all, which Corey and

C. W. Barbour bought and held for some jtime in partnership until the former ght the letter's interest. *e place was wholly unimproved *p j'" *when Mr. Barbour, then a young man of "twenty-two years of age, moved into it. n?w one of the handsomest and best •wfcwn in the county. In 1830 the deceased, subject of this sketch, married his wife, Miss Lara Harvey, a resident

York. They had two children,

a boy and girl, both of whom have since

"T .t*.4|ldlod. The boy, Frederick, will be re^membered by older citiaens. He died .ywat aa he -was -entering on a promising

1' n*ai»h©of.

He was engaged in the mill

ing business at Carbondale, where Mr. Orman Barbour now lives. The deceased was married to his third

••"'-•wife who survives him about a dozen Cars ago. He leave* no children. Mr. Barbour never aspired to office. .. '.IHo was elected justice of the peace when yonng man in Fayette township "t ^jand has frequently served his tins, n^jhborhood as supervisor, but with slight exceptions he confined his attention to agriculture in which las remarkably successful. His [fields were long the envy ot the

Prom Monday's Dally.

Below is given an amusing episode' in the case of Jackman and Knight, on trial most of last week and the week before has been written out from the notes taken by a GAZETTE reporter. It had ocen our purpose to have published most of the arguments in lull, but. our space was entirely too small. We may, how ever, published other extracts from the t'iree speeches made lor the gratification of to mam' of our readers who could not attend the trial. An attempt had been made to impeach Mrs. Wilsoit, a most damaging witness for the defense, and here General Hanna came to her rescue in all the best ways known in the arts ot his profession—pathos, invective and humor combined. Here is one extract. "Now, gentlemen, let us see about Mrs. Wilson's testimony. Mr. Buff insists that she has been impeached—that she has been covered all over with impeachment. That seems to be the strength and hope of their whole case—that everybody has b?en impeached but Jackman and" Knight. That won't do, gentlemen. Directly and indirectly, such a theory would impeach twenty or thirty witnesses who have not and can not be impeached under any possibie state of circumstances. But they say that Mr*. Wilson is impeached. How? Why, bectuse she i»wore, among other things, that| she had two conversations with Mr. Mack—one In this court room and one in the other court room over there across the hall. Yes, Mrs. WiUonsaid so. That was her testimony- But Mack aays that ode of the talks they had occured here, that the other was in his office, and that he never saw her in the other court room at all. And this they cal lthe dark shadow of impeachment ou the soul of -poor, little Mrs. Wilson. Well now, gentlemen, you saw that weak, impoverished, heart-broken woman as she testified here. You heard all she said. She said, just aa she was. leaving the stand, that she had a large house hold of young children at kome and that she had 11''. that very day even a crumb of bread for their dinner. A woman like that knows but little about couri» or court houses. I doubt whether sVie ever saw such a place before this trial. Well, she may have drifted some way or other into Mack's office. Doubtlesss she did, for Mack says she was there, and I make no question about it. And, gentlemen, I have no doubt that many of you have been there—1 mean at his office, around the corner VOAder, on Ohio street. Imagine a timid, unsophisticated, panting, trembling little specimen of untutored and unskilled humanity like Mri. Wilson soing for the first time into Mack's law office, Laughter.] It is something of a place, I do assure you. You Have seen it, with one roOm after another, running way back nearly to the allejr. There are busts and pictures and books there all around the walla (Laughter.) And there are clerks and law students there, some solemn, some not, some sitting and some running about. (Laughter.) And then gentlenten, imagine Mack as the central figure of that impiessive scene. (Laughter.) Why any rustic person—especially timid woman like Mrs. Wilson would naturally think it was not only a court, (Laughter) but that it Was the Supreme Coutt of the United State*, and that Mack was the chief just'ce. fUproarioub laughter.} Yes, gentlemen, our friend Mack is a most novel quantity in the line of eccentric humanity. He is a very worthy gentleman, and I do not speak of him disrespectfully, but he is an oddity. I Laughter.] You go into a towu'meeting of any kind, and Mack is sure to be there. Laughter. If there is a platform in the hall Mack is on that platform. (Laughter.) If there ia a chair on that platform with little longer legs than the other chairs, Mack gets into that chair. (Great laughter.) They do say he has broken in to pulpits ocaasiooly. (Shout* of merriment) Yes, gentlemen, that i» a true picture of Mack's peculiarities. The other day the Legislature of Indiana sent a committee of choaen wise men to inspect our Stale Normal school. Perhaps sbirte of you may not think well of that school—but if so I hope you will change your mind* about It as it is doing a great work in the matter of supplying our common achoot* with good teachers. That committee waa aent down here to aee if the institution waa doing well. Mack was on hand and took the whole party under the broad cover of his wings. (Lai^ghter.) He escorted the Committee up to the college, and there took posaeauon of it bodily, (great laughter) clapped his hands, brought all the children to a dead level of abject reverence, (laughter) and then he put up a terrified boy, and examined him in geography himself. (Loud laughter.) I think that legislative committee went away thinking he WM Prof. Mack, the chief light of the whole concern. (Renewed laughter.) But in the exuberance of his uncontrollable passion to entertain the legislative committee on education—he took them to the liouse of our fellow-citisen, Emery

P. Beauchamp. Mr. Beauchamp,as you know, has been abroad in the service of the Government. He did his work admirably, and

has

returned to his old

friends with distinction. [The distinguished diplomat, who was sitting in a chair near by, at this point blushed at mention of his honors.] He brought home with him a most amiable and accomplished wife—and in addition to this brought some choice paintings of the old masters —some I believe of Ruben'*, one of the mightiest sons of geniu6. Well Mack wanted the Legislative committee on Education to see these great pictures. (Laughter,) Beauchamp bad warmed them up already with some of his choice imported wines, (Laughter) expressed from the grape which once purpled the Shore of the classic Rhine. That has such a softening* effect gentlemen, (Laughter) 1 don't know who the Legislative committee were or whether thejr needed it at all— but generally such useless committees are soft enough on their own score without any help. [Laughter.]

But'there hung the work of Rubens on the wall—the ligh*. of the fifteenth century reflected back like the glory of the sunken sun on the evening sky. There stood Mack and there stood the Legislative Committee on Education. [Great Laughter, I

I doubt whether mort "than two or three of them could see any possible difference between Ruben'6 work and the meanest chromo ever seen in an alley book stall (Great laughter) "This

SLubenge*ns

entlemen," said Mack, '^is one of the of the Flemish school.*' (Laughter) The man he was talking to, they say thought he meant Reuben Butz over in Sugar Creek. (Loud laughter.) But the comedy got broader and broadei the longer it lasted. Mack* fertility in entertainment was not' yet exhausted. He then took the Legislative Committee on Education out to the Nail works. (Laughter.) He there heated them red hot before the puddle-pots of molten iron [Laughter.] Then lie bathed them in the sweet green waters of the artisian well, [Laughter] and finally with most considerate and happy thought he cooled then, off down in the, subterranean caverns of Anton Mayer's big orewei'y."

Uproarious merriment. At this point Mr. Mack rose, and securing the attention of the court, said: "May it please your honor, what the gentleman says i6 in part true it has a partial foundation in fact, but the distinguished orator has drawn largely on his fancy for some of his statements. But this is, as I understand, undisputed. After the legislative committee on education had left the city, Mr. Hanna ia known to have said to a friend that he would have given $100 out of his own pocket to have been around with those legislators a much as Mack was." (Loud laughter.) Interrupting, Mr. Hanna said: "Oh, no, I wouldn't and I couldn't have said that, for I hadn't a hundred dollars at my com* mand for any purpose."

Well, would have borrowed it then." (Laughter.) After this episode, which kept the court room in a roar from first to last the jyry, judge, and the prisoners at the bar all laughing, the last as heartily as any, General Hanna proceeded jvith his argument.

A TALK with the leading real estate dealer of Terre Haute—every body will know who is meant without going further into person—is most encouraging for this year's prospects. He is overrun with .applications from persons who want to rent houses. There hasn't been »uch a demand for nice dwelling houses in a great manv years. The causi is readily found. Building has beeu quiet for some time and the population has gone on increasing by immigration and naturally. People who have been huddled together in houses or who have occupied rooms over stores are getting ahead in circumstances, ana want to improve their manner of living. They are able and are willing to pay the rent for a good house. The meanest intellect will comprehend that this means enlivened business for 1879. Rents are already advancing, and this induces people to buy houses. The eftect will soon be seen on vacant lots. The people who MUST sell, will find purchasers for cash, and scores of bouses will go up all over the city.

Thif will scarcely be true of business roofns. there are enough now to supply the demand, but is only a question of time when there will be activity in thh direction.

The man who is willing to work may lo"k on the coming year with great satisfaction. The prospect never was better for legitimate business and fair returns for honest, patient, well-directed labor.

MONEY ORDER BUSINESS. About a year ago the Lafavette Courier, whose editor, Mr. Single, is postmaster there indulged in a good deal of glorification over the fact that the number of money orders is»ued up to that date in the Lafayette office was greater than made out in the Terre Haute office. Money orders, as every one knows are numbered. In January 1878, the time referred to, .Lafyette*had issued fifty thonsand six hundred and sixty-nine (50.669) and Terre Haute fifty thousand three hundred and forty three (50,343) making the former city three hundred and twen-ty-six (326) numbers ahead.

Since that time the office here has watched results carefully. An observation was taken a few days ago and then Lafayette stood fifl|y-eig'ht thousand and eighty-two (58,08s) Terre Haute fifty-eight thousand seven hundred and sixteen.) Terre Haute is, then, six hundred and thirty-four (634) ahead, and has gained during the year nine hundred and sixty (960) orders on the little burg up the river.

The GAZBTTE will furnish the Courier with a hollow log to crawl into and it may draw in the post office and the hole in with it if it wants to.

Since the date when the tables turned against Lafayette the Courier has maintained an oyster silence on the head of money order business.

MAIL ROUTE EXAMINATIONS.

MR. C. M. MILLER, OP INDIANAPOLIS TESTING THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE BOYS.

For some time the U. S. mail route agents of this city haye been looking for the arrival of Mr. C. M. Miller, an ex pert from Indianapolis, in the employ of the government. His business is to tee if the agents are efficient men and thoroughly understand their business.

There are nine hundred and eighty-six post offices in the state, and each mail aitent must know exactty the shortest route by which he can send letters or packages. He is required to throw into a large case, cards addressed to each of these offices, and is taxed up with every error he makes. A man must stand ninety per cent, or over, in examination, or lo«e his situation.

If he stands less than ninety and more than fifty percent, (the minimum) he is given one more trial. The present is the first time the Terre Haute men have ever been put to the test. They were given one-half of the state to learn, in which there were four hundred and ninety-two officers. In thirty days* Mi Miller will return and the men be examined on the whole scheme of route management for the state. A great deal of study is necessary to be proficient in this. Besides distributing the cirds correctly the men are also questioned as to their know lege of junctions, routes, etc., etc.

It is presumed that the man who otands the test successfully, has the essential elements which wtfl make a good route-manager.

Mr. Chauncey B. Lmf, Who1"fiins oh the Cincinnati road, to Martx,and has had carcely any practice on his road as yet, stood very high in examination.

The quickest work done by any man in the state was accomplished by Mr. Fplkener, Of Indianapolis, who distributed the whole scheme in thirty-five minutes and made but eight errors. The best work wrhich Mr. Miller has examined in this state was done by Lambert who made the'distribution in forty-five minutes and made not a single errbr. Mr. McConnell of Indianapolis made it in 41 minute* with seven error*. Mr. John Bryan of this city was tested at Indianapolis^ He accomplished the task ia one hout andfifteen minute* making *ov*n Otrors.

A colored man named llcKefry did it in one hour having only two errors. There are only five men Who were examined in this city.' They are:

F. C. Kline, L. C. & S. W. railway, who had 7 errors, and stood 98.58 per cent.

C. B. Lee, Cincinnati road, ai errors, 95.74 per cent. Alex. Monroe, E. T. H. & C. railway, 17 errors. 96.35 per cent.

J. B. Shirk, L. C. ft S. W.,

error*

99.70 per cent. Mr. Roland, record not known. The Terre Haute' post office has an excellent record for 1878. Out of the enormous quantity of mail handled, which is estimated at two thousand letters per day, 06ly three hundred and eighty-one ewtrp were made iii a year, but a little over one each day. Many of these were not teal errors in direction, but were marked because the. letters were not lent b7 the shortest route. If sent bv a route twenty minutes longer than some other a mark is made and-returned to head quarters. To get a certain part of the night mail to pointaon the E. T. H. railway as early as possible, the package is sent to Evansville and distributed Oh the train as it comes north, this being more rapid than waiting till afternoon for the agent to go down.

Mr. Miller, the examiner, is an expert in the business, being perfectly familiar with all the offices in three or four states. He is quite a pleasant gentleman^

WORDSWORTH.

LECTURE BV RBV.C. R. HeMDERSON 021 THE GREAt EOET OF THE LAKE SCHOOL,

From WerinMday'sDally.

The Baptist church was so full last night of persons who came to hear Rev. Henderson's lecture that seats had to be placed in the aisle*, to accommodate them. The effort w»* listened to throughout with the strictest attention and much pleasure. In the opening, the lecturer said ive wished to give a partial answer to these two question*. "To whom w*t Wordsworth sent?" and "What is the burden of his prophecy?"

The great poet never had a more eloquent tribute paid to his genius and hi* greater manhood than Mr. Henderson gives him in the following passages taken from the lectare:

Glad may I be, if, like some rude Swiss shepherd, I lead some into a region of solemn wonders whose beauty aod glory you mav see better than the gpiide.

The true, the beautiful, and the good agree in one the deformed It to be excluded with the evil and the fake. My only excuse for entering thie field i* a deep sense of penonal obligation. The finer distinctions of literary critici*ms you may find in the es*at* of Taine, Shairp, Hutton, Lamb, Lowell, and others.

Wordaworth does not speak to all. To the predominantly sensuous he ha* few charms. He doe* not sing for those who are indifferent to the earthly career of humanity, to cold hearts whose creed is a role of words, and who have no -dream* which anticipate age. He is not an iconoclast like Wosley, Luther, Voltiare, Bums. He has little tense of humor. He cannot be classed with Carlyle, Rfchter«or Dickens except in aims. He had the just -'Faith

That poets, even a* prophet*, Have eaeh his own peculiar faculty." For tho*e whose hope is so gieat that it almost breaks the heart for those who leap at stars because they love the light, and fall bruised for childish heart for these our poet has a message. He •peaks to choice spirits. But by "choice spirits" we do not mean necessarily the worldly aristocracy, that of blood, descent, money, land, and outward goods. These choice ones are not always found in col

lege walls, and often are found on farms or at the machinest's bench. Victor Hugo said "There is no thinker who has not sometimes contemplated the nether magnificences." Penn, founder of a free empire, said

wPoor

mechanics are wont to be

God's great ambassadors to mankind.'
