ouchmg Adieu to Great Expositor.
tho
His Discipie Proposes to indulge in a Siesta for a Time Longer.
Together With a Timely Suj gestion From (Jiuclniiutue.
From baturclay'B Dally.
Cincinnatua hereby apologizes to the Great Expositor of the I'encc Hall pliilosoplir lot liaving of late been «o ilirclect in the performance of the duties that he has taken upon himself. He humbly confesses the fact that during the continuance of theae red-hot day# he has been unable to resist the temptation to lay down the pen and indulge in a siesta ol several days duration. I, Cincinnatus. know indeed that 1 am doing very wrong in thus neglecting tny duties 1 know, too, that I am grieving sorely the good old doctor, and that when he again meets me he will wear a grieved look on his dear old face, liut really I cannot help it.
You must know, my dear doctor, that votir zealous disciple is not a salamander, and that just now when the mercury has climbed so lar heavenward as to be un« able to see zero with a telescope, I do not consider it a capital otfense to appear lax in the performance of my high duties. 1 pray, though,that you will not for a moment harbor the thought that my enthusiasm for our cauM has coolcd. Great Ciesar, the idea of anything cooling this kind cf weather But 1 am only mortal, my dear revered master, and being mortal can do little cUe than spend the time in wishing myself one of )nines Gordon Bennett's lucky crew now on a vovage to the north pole, and also kindly Inquiring of my parboiled lriends "if this weather is hot enough for them which conundrum, 1 would state parenthetically, is strictly original, and having been duly copyrighted, all infringements will be prosecuted lo the tull«st extent of the law.
During the past few days, doctor, I've been thinking—I know full well that your dutilul disciples bhould never permit themselveB to indulge in such mental exercise—but I repeat I've been thinking of one great advantage our orthodox opponents have over us at thi# particular season of the year. True, they act as though una ware of the great ad vantage they do possess, for just now when their usually comforting brimstone doctrine, if properly placed before the masses, would make them squirm and seek for shelter within the protecting fold of the church at tl.is season, 1 say. wV.cn hell is invested with added terrors, these shepherds instead of making the most of their opportunity desert their flocks and hie to the lakea for their annual vacation It is indeed unfortunate that we have no such potent means to drive those into or perwould
our fold who will not be coaxed suaded. And in this connection make, in all humility, a simple suggestion. You know that it was one of the maxims of the early Christian church that it was a praiseworthy act to deceive the people for their own good, in which you will doubtless fully agree with Eusebius and his fellow-laborers. Taking the preceding facts for my cue I would suggest that we do not let these theologians continue to hold such an advantage over us, and that you, too, find room in your very elastic doctrine lor a hell,—a little one will do at rirst as an experiment, and if it oves a success, why then, build what
pi additions are necessary. Ifyou will only make this little addition to your alreadyglorious system I solemnly declare that I will spend this entire hot spell in slinging the beauties of hell-lire right at these heathen in your own city. The idea of its being any hotter than now would be so horrible that 1 verily believe I could proselytize everv reasoning being in vour city during this month of July. At anv rate it i* well worth the attempt, and sliuuld you want a precedent for such a piece of religious strategy I would reter you to the lura "Al AraP' ol the Koran, where, by a cunning answer to the conundrum," What think yeof Al Lat and Al Uzza and all the rest besides?" the wily Mohammed won over a city full of idolaters to his cause. liut I am wandering away from the purpose of my letter. Although I ui 11 doing just now comparatively little far vour cuusc, I am glad indeed to see that your menagerie is thriving so well. It is indeed pleasant to be engaged in a business tbat flourishes so well during this usually dull business season. I am pleased, too, to know that your patrons are still making their spirit triends happy by presenting to them so many of the valuables of enrth. How refreshing indeed it must have been to see, the other evening, a certain professor pass into the hole in cabinet a valuable silk shawl and certain other articles for the use of hi# aunt in the spirit world. I am indeed chsered—which feeling you doubtless share with me—to see your patrons impoverishing themselves at the rate of from fifty to one hundred dollars a day that they may transfer these little souvenir# to their departed friends. What if this paltry world is growing poorer thereby, are not you and your partn I mean, are not the spirits all the richer for this sacrifice
I regret to say it, my dear philosopher, but I mustcontinue my vacation for a time longer. Should, however, the mercurytake a fancy to resist it# former abode I will again take up my pen in your defense, and wield it, 1 need scarcely add, with all the power I can command.
For a time then, my dear doctor, and my indulgent and long-#uft'ering readers, with the thermometer at 100° in the shade, I will bid you all
A sweet good-bye,
I CINCINNATI s.
THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE
HORTICULTURAL MEETING. (Communicated.) The Terre Haute Horticultural Society held its July meeting, on Thursday, at the splendid Maple Grove of Mr. Joseph Gilbert, and clone by the beautiful and really artistic lake, to which Mr. G. ha* given in honor of two daughters of a Swiss gentleman, the name "Fluvlantia." The Society found it great treat to spend the oav at such a cool retreat, although the mercury in a tru« thermometer, which hung upon a tree in the coolest place, indicated a heat of 97 degrees It was even warmer than that in the city. By 12 M. there was a very large gathering, nearly one hundred of horticulturists and guests. All were made more than welcome to the grounds, for Mr. and Mrs Gilbert had in many ways provided things of a hospitable kind. Cool water, ice and lemons, to quench thirst, tables and table furniture for the repast, and two elegant row boats to sport with upon the placid little lake. They were in constant requisition. In addition, the horses were not forgotten, for Mr. G. had a small wagon load of corn luuled tip into the grove, and there it stood lor everyone having a horse, or horses, to help himself to as tnanv ears as he chose. The Hon. NVm. Mack was there with his little white horse, and I noticed that he gnve full ration for a work horse—ten large ears. Others were lull as libernl, and it was generous all round. The splendid blue grass served a# a dessert after the corn.
Mr. Gilbert, our President, called on Vice President Lawrence Hcinel, to preside, and the duties were ably performed by that gentleman. The min utes of the last meeting at Mr. Hulinan's being read by the Secretary, Mrs. Warner, it was fourd neccssary to make one or two slight corrections, us that meeting was reported, the number present was put too low, there being 75 or 80 present. There was also a much better display of fruit by several, than reported
The latnous sycamore tree, whose blanches cover tjj of an acre, and under wnich the tables for dinner were placed, was not described. Unusual at tention and hospitality was di«placd on the part of Mr. and Mis II. to ir.ake the tneetin at their house one of interest. And will just say that after a walk among a hundred and more bee hives, full of industrious bees, through various yards where were to be seen full blooded Alderney stock, barn fowls from all parts of Europe, doves, pigeons and pigeon carriers, coons and squirrels, and cages containing birds of varied song and plumage, it seemed more like a zoological garden than a horticultural one. lint I have digressed.
After the adoption of the corrected minutes, Rev. Soule read a lengthy report on large fruit, which did not speak very flatteringly lor the early apples. Reported as badly stung and injured and fulling olY badly. Spoke very highly of the Hennelii'ld apples and as being one of the b-'st for Indiana
Mr. I'egg made a verbal report on the small fruits, past and lo come. I he season has been favorable to but a very few varieties. The prospect for grapes
very poor, as they had commenced to rot "within a few days. Mr. L. Hcinel reported on his grain trip to Toledo and Chicago. Judged Irom his remarks it war, a real panoramic treat all the time. Cotn fields and wheut fields of vast dimensions and splendid growth wine cellar*, containing casks that held 10,000 gallons wine presses in one establishment: in Toledo capable ol pressing out 365,000 gallons annu illy. Mr. H. exhibited a beautiful little pear, the Doyenne De-itui variety—small, but juicy and luscious. He recommended a trial of it by horticulturists.
Lawyer Mack gave his experience in raising grapes, the Ives seedling in particular. Thought It one of the best, and better for the table than tho Concord.
I will here mention also that the honorable gentleman contributed a very interesting paper, which he read elegantly and very distinctly, 011 the Ancient Greek Drama, during the 40 years reign of Pericles, 450 years before the Christian era. It was a graphic description of Bacchus feasts and dramatic exhibitions in the time of Pericles, Thticydides, Aristophanes, Thrmistocles and others, and gave a rich literary entertainment to the occasion. But what relation, he asked in the outset, has the subject of ancient Greek tesiivals and dramas to do with our modern horticultural society? Well, he would make it manifest before he got through. It is to be published, and I will refrain from any criticism of it here, except to say that I thought ns he read rapidly along, that it was rather too much of a eulogy of tliosefheathenish cujtoms, and as worthy of our imitations, than it ought to have been. Perhaps I can judge better when 1 see it in print.
Mr. Whidder made a verbal report on vegetable. Complained much on the low and unremunerating prices which they eommanded in the market. Thought the product tco bountiful. Didn't mention tomatoes at 25 cent# per quart, 3 to 4 to the quart* "nor new potatoes at $1.50 per bushel until within a day or two.'
J. O.Jones Esq. gave us' one of his touching, eloquent and highly inspiriting essays, in a monthly report on flowers extolled highly the refining and sacred art of the florist. It would read well at any social tea party, or at some joyous picnic owt in the j^rove.
Mrs. Aydelot gave a reading, "Kentucky Bell." It was a reminiscence of the famons Morgan raid into Indiana. It stirred all hearts, and quickened our martial fires. We felt like getting up and after the vandal. It was a literary dessert after the dinner repast. And that must be mentioned, too. If it was not after the Pericles «tyle, it was in accord with good Christian taste, and satisfying to the inner man. And now what more, with the mercury at this writing up in the nineties? What & cruel thing it was to asfc of me a report. I can forgive only this once.
Mr. Hulman made a report on entomology, interesting and useful, a# his reports always are.
Mrs. George Day gave us a taste of her experience in cookery, but it was a very hot day for cooking.
The afternoon being now well ad vanced, the question for discussion was postponed until next meeting, and the whole audience, guests and horticulturists. were invited to a stioll through the beautiful grove or take a boat ride in cither the "Manetee," or the "Cheguenmegon." The next will be duly advertised. ..

One item I have omitted in the proper place. Our excellent photegrapher, D. H. Wright, through the secretary, presents! the society with a most exact like, ness, finely executed, of our former member of the #ocieiy, Corey Barbour, E»q. It was received and responded to in appropriate remark# by Hon. Wm. Mack. A unanimous vote of the #ociety was given Mr. Wright for hi# generous gift.

ELMER GERARD SWORN.
I first met Albert Ames at halt past 7 o'clock. He said that he was goir.g to see his mother. He wailed there until I came, and he started north with me. He wanted me to go to the parM at the junction of the Vandalia railroad and Fifth street. He looked to me as though he was stupid. He said lie wanted to see me in the evening, and I told him I could see him next summer, and he said "we may all die before that time and may die sooner."
We went to the party. When the party was over I wanted him to go home, and he said "ihat he wai going with his lady." He said that he wanted to see me before I left. I told him it I was not there to go on home as 1 could not wail
This happened ot half past 1 o'clock. ELMER E. GERARD.
C. A. R0IIIN80N SWORN.
It was about 3 o'clock last night when I heard cries of distress. This was nt the corncr of Fourth street and Vandalia railroad. I went down and seen him laying on the track. He *poke. He told me that he jumped off of the train lie said that lu jumped oft" of the pas senger train. The train passed about
2
o'clock. I found him with'his feet over1 the north rail, with his bodv extending on the north side of the track.
I summoned .medical help immediately. C. A. Ron IN SON. DR.J.T. I.OUOIiaAO SWORN. I was called last night to see a man that was run over by the cars at about a quarter past 2 o'clock. Found that he had received injuries on the head depressing the bone about one or one and a half inches in diameter. Also one foot run over at the articulation ol the tibia. The other foot at the articulation of the tarsal and metatarsus. He stated that he had jumped from the train. I dressed his wounds as I found him there. Lincoln, Link and I got an express wagon and biocght him home. We there removed the fragments of bones from his head, and then proceeded to amputate the two legs.
At 3 A. M., three hours after operating, while at his home, I asked him if he jumped from tho train. He said "yes." I asked him if his clothing caught. His answer was "they did not."
J. T. LOUOIIKAD, M. D.
I, the coroner of Vigo county, Indiana, afer examining the body of Albert A.nes, deceased, and hearing the evidence, find that be came to his death by injuries received on the head and
mangling of the lower limbs by jumping from a passenger train on the Vandalia railroad, nt the crossing of Fourth street. After telegraphing to the managers of the train, then al St. Louis, find that it was not through negligence ol the managers. Either of said wounds was sufficient to produce death.
The deceased is a man seventeen years old the 13th day of last April, He lived with his mother on north Fourth Street.

A WORTHY ENTERPRISE. The worthy effort now being made byMayor Havens and all, or nearly all, the members of our City Council to obtain consent from the Board of County Com missioners to take charge of the court park, on west Main street, should be known by our citizens, and all should give the Mavor and Council encouragement in their effort in this beneficial en terprise. The intention is to get permis sion to clean up, level off and generally improve this neglected park, set out new trees, trim the old ones, build a neat music stand, lay out paths, procure numerous lawn seats and arrange them about the ground, detail two policemen to keep loafers and improper characters away and maintain good order also, to make arrangements with the band to give free open air concerts once or twice each week. All this can be done with little expense, and will, no doubt, be heartilv appreciated by all our citizens. It will be putting thi# fine square to some practical, beneficial use, and make it an ornament and a pleasant resort, instead of an eyesore, a place for weeds and tramps and storage of threshing machines. Everybody should, and quite surely will, encourage Mavor Havens in his com mendable effoi to thus benefit the city, and citizens, all at little ccst and no detriment to the county.
IT is getting to be full time a society for prevention of cruelty to animals was organized and put in operation here. Every day some inhuman wretch is seen in the act of driving dumb brutes in a manner that deserves seveie punishment. In a city of this size, in the present age and state of improved sentiment in society, such a worthy societ*. nrmed with ample authority, is a pon.tin. necessity, Mayor Haven# and the CityCouncil are quite in favor of some such effort, and will quite certain give it all the ansistance in their power. Will some of our worthy philanthropic citizen# call Or a meeting and start this noble movement It is badly needed.
A SQUARE MEAL FOR 25 CENTS. Be surd and drop in on '.'Uncle Sam's restaurant and get a good square meal fjr 35 cent#. Buttermilk, iced tea, etc., arc constantly kept on hand, ns are all cool drinks. Drop in on "Uncle Sam's to-morrow and partake of on« of his huge Sunday drinks. ,\

THE CITT SCHOOLS.
Meeting of the Board Last Night.
Largo Amount of Business Trau.sac ted.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees for the city schools Wednesday night, the contract for supplying the district schools with coal was awarded to Combs
Rogers, their bid being the lowest of a large number. A change was made in the readers used in the schools, McGuffey's new eclectic reader being substituted lor Har* pers', which has been in the schools for the past six year#. Thc'McGuffey series has been lately revised and commended itself to the Trustees, not only because of its superiority to the one in use, but because of its cheapness, the series costing $1.37 less than Harpers'. In this way several thousand dollars a year will be saved to the patrons of the schools. The method of introduction requires the purchase of readers only in those grades where the pupil would have been required to buy a new book even if the old series had been retained. The substitution MIHO makes provision for the exchange of thw old books at a figure very near the price of the new, so that all the old readers can be disposed of. In addition to this the publishers supply the board gratis with a suflicient number of books to furnish really indigent pupils with readers during the year.
The contract for bupplies to the schools, including crayons, slate pencils, ptns pen-holders, ink, etc., was awarded to II. Robinson & Co., they being the lowest of several bidders. The contract lor whitewashing the ceilings of rooms in the 2nd District school, and also certain work in the 4th District was awarded to La Arson Sanders.
The contractor painting the outside wood work of the third and sixth dis trict schools, the fences in front of the same, and other specified jobs in various places,' also for doing the glazing for the year was awarded to Charles Auble, his bid being the lowest.
A double boiler of new and approved pattern will be substituted for the worn out one in the normal building, under guarantee from Crane, Breed &L Co., of Cincinnati, to heat the building thor oughly, and give perfect satisfaction or no pay.
The following teachers wers elected to fill vacancies as they may occur from time to time after those already on the list for last year shall have become em ployed. This is in accordance with an examination lately concludcd Lou Peters, Eunice Whitehouse, Alice Boone, Margaret Wilson, Richard Crouch, Ovid Lawrence, Ella Glick, Kate Leverenz, Ella Morgan, Besbie E. Moore. Janitors were appointed as follows:
High School, Fred. Grosjean. First District, Chris. Winninreid. Second District, Thomas H. Blake. Third District, George Smith. Fourth District, Wm. Mcllale. Fifth District,Joseph A. Robertson Sixth District,"Charles Klenger. Seventh District, Iluldah Tilly. Montrose District, J. C. Brigg*. Colored District, Stephen Price.
THE AD-
ROMANCE OF AN VERTISEMENT. From tho Boston Advertiser. Last Christmas Eve the following advertisement appeared in the London Times.
Dear H.-I entreat you to help me in this my hour of deepest trial. Ill and friendless, I can l®ok to none but you for assistance. By the memory of the past I implore your aid, or I know not what I shall do. The last shilling is expended on this advertisement. Remember me at this time of re-wnion. I have no home now, so please address E. V., Beaufort, 295 Strand, London.
It may na well be said at once that the appeal covered a fraud. "E.V.," stood for Ethel Vivian, whose real name wa« Bur man, and she is the daughter of a lamp repairer in Dublin. The,"shilling" mentioned was not a slow but a ftimble coin. It paid for the advertisement in 150 Lon don and provincial newspapers, and brought in a harvest of money to "Ethel" and Vernon Montgomery, otherwise by his own choice, the Marquis de Montmorency, with whom she lived in lodgeings. The evidence at the trial of those interesting included testimoney of one or two of their many soft-hearted victims. One of these latter was a young fellow of 23 who became vastly intercs ted in poor Ethel's case, and gave her money atvarious times. He 6aid he was actuated by char.table feelings, "but there was a tinge of romance in the aft'air.", Once he had kisstd the female pri#on#rt and in reply to a question said, "Oh tha was romance." The fraudulent nature of the appeal and the bad previous character of botn the prisoners were fully made out the noble Marquis was sent to penal serv itude for five years, and Miss Burman was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment with hard lab^r.
IN consequence cf the dangerous illness of the father of L. Gerhardt, the prize iatch which was to have taken place Mrxt Monday afternoon between Louis Gerhardt and Jas. W. Bell has been postponed until Monday afternoon July 21. The match has caused consul erable talk and conjecture, and promises to be the biggest match of the season.
BY the way, the brimstone class of ministers, if there are any such hereabouts, might as well take their summer recreations. This weather is a sufficient illustration of the terrors of an unendiftg hell without pulpit demonstrations. 5

SORROWFUL SUICIDE.
Thr yonnir wlf« of an rrausvllle l*hyaiclnu commit* SulciAe.
From Saturday's Dally.
Last evening one of the most sorrowful incidents occurred that has startled and horrified the peopte of Evansville for along time. It was the suicide of Mrs. Dr. Irwin, a lady in high social standing, the wife of a prominent anif rapidly rising physician and enjoying all of life that luxury, social position and a devoted husband could con* tribute. About three months ago Dr. Irwin, having just finished and fitted up a house in the most elegant style in one of the most fashionable parts of Evansville, went to Ohio and married to the deceased, bringing her immediately to the house he had prepared for her reception, and the future seemed to be a bright one for the ycung couple. She drew about her a large circle of devoted friends, and no one dreamed that there was any cloud upon her life, and the cause of her act is still a mystery.
Yesterday afternoon the servant girl heard the report of a pistol in one of the upper rooms, and, going immediately to the room from which the report came, found Mrs. Irwin with a pistol in her hand, but apparently uninjured by the shot. But the" servant girl was not permitted to enter, Mrs. Irwin threatening to shoot her if she did not leave immediately. Fearing for her own life, the girl left the room and directly heard another shot. She then returned and found Mrs. Irwin dead, tho ball having passed through her heart.
The incident has created a great sensation and a feeling of the most profound sorrow, for she was a lady of many graces and rare accomplishments, and beloved by all who knew her. The coroner's inquest will probably bring to light some cause for the rash act which is generally believed to be emotional insanity.
We are indebted to a passenger from Evansville who heard it just as the train was about leaving, and had not time to learn the minute tacts connected with the matter.
