This blooming month of May will complete the fifteenth anniversary of of the establishment in Terre Haute of the Horticultural society, reports of the interesting sessions of which appear «ach month in these columns. On the 37th they propose to have an extra observance of the anniversary. A display of fruits and flowers wil be made and the society premium of $25 on strawberries.

that

good

deal of effort will be required to make the anniversary more interesting than the sple'ndid meeting of yesterday at the beautiful suburban home of Harvey D. Scott on south Sixth street. The attendance was very large and many farfkiliar, genial faces which are not always present were there. It was a gloriaus dayi Every heart was buoyantly responsive to nature's vernal freshness. Hon. Joseph Gilbert, President, and Mrs. L. C. Wonner, Secretary, were in their respective official positions.

It is the intention of the society to take an excursion this summer. Hon. H. D. Scott repprted rates secured to Chicago. Mackinaw and other ooints.

Mr. T. Hulman &r., read an exceed ingly interesting report on entomology, in which subject his business causes him td be we'l versed.

Prospects of an immense yield of small fruits were reported by Mr. Gilbert. Capt. Potter's meteorological report fbr April was next in order. He had taken observations each morning and found the average temperuture was 50

The tornadoes and

cyclones whi&h have been so frequent visitants elsewhere were referred to. The repoit on cooking waa written by Mrs. Duy. It was read by Mrs. J. O. Jones and was well received.

And then catne dinner. The tables were set not only in Mrs. Scott's dining room, but, the attendance being large in the delightful little library also.

J. W. Soule, Captain Potter and R. W. Kippetoe wete appointed a committee to draft resolutlpns expressive of the loss, of the society the demise of Mr. Mo«iesitte. 'The YoscvnifE VatteV, Wan daoortl/cd lii original yersilication, which was highly complimented, by Mrs. Julia B. Hosford. Papt. Potter praised the poem but took issue with Mrs. H. in the number of talis, and when this discussion had been reconciled Hon. Wm. Mack was called on for his lecture descriptive of the Olympic games. Mr. Mack is a great admirer of Grecian character, an enthusiastic student of Greek history and customs, a lover of her poetry, traditions and romantic hills. His lecture was well prepared and was a rich treat indeed. A little map had been made giving the outlines of Grecian territory and the locations of the great cities, battle-grounds, monuments and points Si interest. It was quite a refreshing little lesion in geography that Mr. Mack gave. The Olympic games lasted through an uninterrupted period of more than ten centuries and occurrcd at regular intervals of f( ur years. The grand object in their institution was the development of the physique, though they also fostered excellence in poetry and eloquence. Pindar's great fame was made by the poems he wrote in favor of the victors of the games. Fortunate those whose prowess §1 was thus recorded. Time has no force that will obliterate, their memory, though monuments of brass and stone ay crumble into dust. r!'- 1

The victor in the Olympic foot-race, said Mr. Mack, was a great hero, lue whole city went out from its walls to meet him and to accompany his tiiumphal chariot in. The very walls were razed that he might enter and the gap filled up when he had passed. Contestants were required to practice for ten months before being allowed to enter the stadium and then they were led to the temple of Jupiter,' whose uplifted hands held the thundei's appeaser, ready to hurl a them at himwho might swear falsely, and made solemn oath that there had been no misreprentation nor would unfair advantage be taken. Only thrice in a thousand years was it claimed that this oath was broRen. It will be impossible to as much as outline Mr. Mack's address in a brief newspaper article. He has promised it to us for publication in full.

Capt. Potter differed with Mr. Mack on some points and proceeded to elucidate' Mr. T. Hulman here related, apropos of some remark of Mr. Mack, an interesting story abeut Prof. Schliemann whose excavations at Troy excited such world-wide attention. When IS Mr. H. started fbr Germany from this country many years ago, a fine young man came to settle »hi« lodgings as soon as he might vacate them. The young fellow was hard up and going to work in a grocery store. He has since become an enormously wealthy German banker and merchant, has exhumed ihore relics than any other living person, and his name is Prof. Schliemann. Mr. Mack also knew Pros. S. He met him at MissoloDghi.

Prof. S.

found to be very

familiar with Indiana, and he learned from him that he had once come to this State to Becure an Indiana divorce from a troublesome Russian wife. He is now if married to a Grecian lady. For many |n months in his excavations he expendeJs•.

Mr. Whiilden didn't see how the Dark Ages were caused by the civilization of Rome, for certainly it was better than what followed.

.,* THE

other city, and tfiat in turn above a third, each built in apparent ignorance of what time had concealed beneath. The excavators at Mycaen#, near Argos, Where Agamemnon lived, have release3 statue supposed to represent the great Trojan hero. The Greeks .don't like Schliemann. They call him the grave robber.

Mrs. Harper's essay descriptive of her visit to the Hot Springs was written in the easy, graceful manner for which her facile pen has such reputation. She described the straggling streets, the queer back yards almost on a leVel with the second stories of the houses, the springs, their curative properties and the condition of the pepple. There are fifty-five of these springs and their fsme has. spread all over the world. Mrs H. brought back with her some beautiful Arkansas whetstones, and a horse-shoe covercd with a thick deposit after ^remaining in the water but two days. Jler essay was crammed full of facts arai witty points.

Capt. Potter praifeed very highly Supt. Daily whose management of the Poor Farm, he said, was 6uperb.

All reports having been made the discussion on the subjcct Were the Dark Ages the result of RomJln Civilization?" was commenced.

Mr. Mack was called on. He siid he gave up the conundium. He wanted to know three things before he talked 011 this subject first, when the'society considered the Dark Ages began second, whatwas Roman civilization, and third, what was darkness. [lai.ghter.J The central idea of tnc Roman civilization was force. 'lhe whole empire was me "great *dty. It extended its laws over all iis provinces —absorbed everything—fcnd^linally becoming'too l?rge fell to pieces wrecked by the inherent power of it* cenfal idea, He could not say, however, that this civilization which proved Rome's ruin contributed to the Dark Age$. l.t wa& Paganism that did it for Ooiasiftntii^with whose reigjvthe decadency^ Jbcgan was a christian. He sought Constanti nople a8 a capital more c.utral than

Rome, and tint's there tictrr. an Eastern and a Western empire With the decadences datrng 330 A.D. commenced thfc incursions 01 uie Goths Vundals, Lombards. Clay after clan, like bees from a hive, in numbers resembling the countless locusts, these people swarmed into unhappy Rome.^ To the Goths, said Mr. Mack, we are indebted for the idea of monogamy id iinarriage

Having' been opened the dit-cussion continued with lively interest'all uround and It is with regrets that space permits no more than the briefest mention.

Capt. Potter related tiie whole of the history of Rome from the time ot Tar(Juin He thought the Dark Ages came from the I06S of virtue and honor in the world, from the tyranny of I^otnan rufe and the grasping avarice of the Romish church.

Mr. Schultz thowghtthe Rpman people were in an advanced 6tate ot civilization. Mr. Weir said he didn't believe he knew what civilization was.-I ffi

Mr. Barbour said the Roirfan plan was to conquer and annex territory—to govern arDJtrarily. 5lie absorbed 06 mucn that she waa finally herself absoibed.

A newspaper man present thought it we could ascertain what caused the Hurts, Goth6, Lombards and Vandals we might tell what had occasioned the Dark A^cs. These invaders came in countless hot dev. Perhaps if Rome had m&nteiried a better civilization—a purer system—she might have withHtocitl .them longer but it seems they Were irresistable in numbers. No Kansas crop, liow«ver Well tended, will sustain a visitation of grasshoppers. Rome had many provinces conquered at enormous cost, but they did not revolt in her time of necessity, on the contrary thev clung to her and called on hei for assistance to r«pel barbaric invasion that overran them also.

Rome was destroyed and the light she gave snuffed out the Dark Ages ensued because savages held sway.

Mrei. Schultz thinks we are not out of the Dark Ages yet. Mr. Hulman was of the opinion that, the Roman emperors ate and drank too much and neglected business shamefully.

Mr. Buff believed that the Roman civilization nn more caused the Dark Ages than a light produces darkness. Civilization is one of those forces in society that gives good government.that elevates society, gives it arts and sciences, and uplifts civil and social life. The civilisation of Rome took on the form ot" force it was nevertheless a high type of civilization. It dcr nTated to tyranny and oppression. iiuui.iu life and human rights were wholly disregarded. After the peiiod of darkness, not until Christianity became a controlling influence did a rea,l civilization 'commence. The banishment of Roman civilization caused the damages. In her fall tne student was driven from his books, the |artist from his studio, the lawmaker from his codes and, therefore, the world had no more literature,art nor laws.

Mr. Barbour held to the opinion that if Rome had consolidated she might have lasted.

Mr. H. D. Scott said civilization does not mean good government as Mr. Buff had stated. It is the condition of a nation. The term is corporative. Rome had a civilization so had Ninevah and Carthage. The Dark Ages were the result of an inundation, wc might say, of two great migra tory nations, the Asians and the Tura inans.

Mr. Souie said the Dark Ages began about 400 years after Christ. Rome did not fall because of her light nor yet solely from outside influences. What she lacked in right and justice caused her ruin.

The next discussion will be on the eubject: Resolved, That the present school system is not the best, and should be either modified or abolished.,.

There has never been a pleasanter meeting of the society than the one yesterday.

Mr. Herman Braun, who is now playing 'celld in the orchestra with the D'Oyly Carte Pirates of Penzance, was also 'cello-player with Jennie Liod and Madam Anna Bifthop during their stay in this country. His home is in New Orleans, tmt he is in poor health and hopes traveling will restore him.

GRANDMOTHER'S 8BRMON.

The supper is over, the hearth is swept, Arid in the wood fire'sglow The children ciuster to hear isli 1

Of that time, so long ago,

When grandmother's hair golden brOVS, And the warm blood came and went O'er the face that scarce was sweeter then

Than now in its rich content,

Never has gone away, j..,

And her needles catch th« firs'l light As in and out they go, With the clicking music that grandma tovM,

Shaping the stocking toe,

With nmny hearts we begin to knit#1 And the ribbing is almost play: .1 Some are gay colored and some are white,

And some are ashen gray,

But most are made of mafiy a hue, '1 tl With many a stitch set wrong, Tl And many a row to be sadly ripped

Ere the whole is fair and strong.

There are long, plain spaces, without a brisk, That in youth is hard to bear,

As we fashion the heel with care.

In another churchyard of similar dimerftions, I SJJIW two charity children. They were making love, -in spite of the ferocious, spiked gate, and the skulls and crossbones. O, it was no doubt golden ground to those young persons! Saturday evening was their trysling-time. They came there to shake the bits of matting which were spread up in the church aisles and they afterwards rolled them up he rolling his end, she rolling hers, until they met, over the once divided now united rolls—sweet emblem! It'was nhfrpshinp: tn find nnr nf niy grim find faded churchyards blooming into flower. im I'V

The Uses of the lemon.

They will sometimes cure consumption. Put a dozen lemons into cold water and slowly bring to a boil bofl 6lowly until the lemons are soft, then squeeze until all the juice is extracted add sugar to your taste and drink. In this way use one dozen lemons a djyr. If they cause pain lessen, the quantity, and use onlv five or six a day until you are better, andf then begin again with a dozen a day. After using five or six dozen the patient will begin to gain flesh and enjoy food. Hold on to the lemons, and still use them *very freely for several weeks more.

Another use for lemons is for a refreshing drink in summer, or in sickness at any time. Prepare as directed above, and add water and sugar. But in order to have this keep well, after boiling the lemons, squeeze and strain carefully then to every half-pint of juice, add one pound of loaf or crushed sugar, boil and stir a few minutes more until the sugar is dissolved, skim carefully and bottle. You will get more juice from the lemons by boiling them, and the preparation kf eps better.

Very little light lives jnsidc my beloved churchwards. The westering sun slants in by some unwonted entry, and sometimes :i. feiv prismatic tears drop on an old tombstone. A flock of sparrows try to raise a lively cl\Trrup in a solitary tree, perh ps taking a different view of worms from that entertained by humanity.

In one churchyard, I have seen an, old man and an old woman making, hay, among the graves! They looked like Time and his wife. On an old marble in the foreground, between mo and them, were two cherubims,, and I sought to compare them with the haymakers—I coughed, and awoke the echoes, but the old couple never looked at me, so I was fain to leave them under three yards and a half of darkening sky, alone by themselves.

Few people know the value of lemon juice.- A piece of lemon bound upon a corn will cure it in a lew days it should be renewed night and morning. A free use of lemon juice and sugar will always relieve a cough. Most people feel poorly in the spring, but if they would eat a lemon before breakfast every day for a week with or without sugar, as they like— they would find it better than any medicine.

Education. I

Every boy should have liis head, his heart and his hand educated. Let this truth never be forgotten. By the proper education of the head, he will be taught what is good and what is evil, what is wise and what is foolish, -what is right and what is wrong. By the proper education of the heart, he will be taught to love what is good, wise and right, and to hate Ivhat is evil, foolish and wrong. And by proper education of the hand, he will be enabled to supply his wants, to add to hi6 comforts, and to assist those around him. The highest objects of a good education are, to reverence and obev God, and to lore itttd mtrvt mrvxktnd. Everything th&t.lelpa is in attaining these •biects is of great vailue, and everything thit hinders is comparatively worthless. VFhen wisdom reigns in the head, and love in the heart, the man is ever ready to do good •rder and peace reign around and sin ani sorrow are almost unknown.

The Light fbr Rainy Weather. One beauty of an electric light is that it burns as well in a rain storm as in the finest of weather. One of the large hotels at Saratoga has its grounds lit by electricity, and the effect of the light on the rain drops is described as singularlv beautiful. This is anew plea in favor of lighting by "fekctricity. ......
