TIIB Evansvi'le Cornier pays the following complement to our Congressman Jno.E. Lamb:

The Hon. John E. Lamb, of the Terre Haute district, whose splendid victory a year age awakened such surprise ad admiration throughout fhe state, will take his seat in the next Congress as the youngest member of that Oody. With his fine mental and physical resources, it is an easy matter to prophecy a brilliant future for him if he is fortunate in making his first impres •sions.

PHOTOGRAPHY of the stars now forms an important part of the woik done at the Harvard Observatory. A. region of the heavens fifteen degrees square is photographed at a single exposure, stars down to the fitth and 6ixth magnitudes being shown, and eighteen of these pictures may be taken on a single plate, forming a map of a section of the stellar vault ninety degrees wide. Smaller stars, down to the eight magnitude, are shown in photographs of smaller areas. The magnitudes indicated by the photographs do not always correspond to those recorded as the determinations of eye observations. This is due to the effects af different colors among the stars. A red star which may appear very brilliant to the eye, produces only a faint impression on the photographer's plate.

CRITICISM ot such papers as call the operator? who choose to work for the W. U. company thugs or blacklegs or even scabs, iu a sonte of opprobi ium, is just. If this paper has been indirectly so ceusural it is because of a misunderstanding. The attitude of the paper is clear. The GAZETTE fully rcc ognizes earh man's inalienable right to geek work where and at such prices as is mutually agreed between himself find his employer, and has never used the words "thug"kor '-blackleg" at all. When the word "scab" has been used in the telegraph report it was printed because so aeat, and it is cot] the Intention to alter telegraph and when it has appeared in tha local reports it has been in interviews or with quotations, being a term descriptive rather than opprobrious. No attack has been made on .these operators in those columns ano •when they li-ive sh jwn ability in reports it has been always acknowledged. Tha profits of (lie W. U. are so enormous that the GAZETTE'S sympathies are with the strikers but its endeavor has been to treat each side with consideration and fairness.

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION. Not much interest ie felt in elections •where the majorities are assured in advance- Referring to the election the ^Courier-Journal says: __ "The election all over the state yester. •cay was unusually quiet. Returns from one-third of the counties indicate the customary Eemocratic majority of trom 40,000 to 50,000. The Legislature will toe overwhelmingly Democratic. A hearty support was given the constitutional convention, and it has in all probability received tb6 requisite number of vote9. In the city the legislative contests excited much interest. The most corrupt influences were used in many instances, and in the Clay-Caldwell race open-faced bribery is charged. A number of good citizens were arrested for buying votes."

MAN ITERS OF THE OLD SCHOOL, raised aiaa, felt herself to be something of a queen and evinced the feeling in her manners. W--CM

The present generation is accused ot being less polite than .those generations which have preceded it. The charge is not unfounded, but there are ccunts in the indictment that admit «f explanation. We live in a ta-t age, speaking literally and not in the slang phraseology of the day. The world drives on at a lightning pace with its swift railroad trains, its telegraphs and its electric motors, and everybody is swept forward as rapidly with it. Every new age is more comparatively crowded with life and incident, and between the forward impetus and the press of circumstances we really have less time for the formalities of society. Our ancestors thought more slowly, moved more slowly and acted more slowly. Wexan almost cross the continent in the time it took them to reach thd next county. The chair supplied the place of the hackney coach the stage coach that of the railroad train. There were no newspapers crammed with what had happened the day before at the other end of the world. Quiet reigned when wars were not in progress, not only in the rural districts, but in all cities, except the largest. There was time to be polite there was even time to dance the stately minuet, whose slowness scarcely suits those who prefer the dizzy whirl of the mudern waltz. We say all this in the way of extenuation and not of excuse, for the present generation has many sins of ill-breeding to answer for and could well afford to imitate much of the formal politeness of its ancestors.

The first era noted for its excessive politeness was that of chivalry, when a good heart was supposed to be at the foundation of good breeding. The old knights were not all so noble as King Arthur, who, if Tennyson is to be be lieved, neither spoke scandal nor listened to it, but the respect for woman, which was the theoretical basis of their action, gave a certain elevation to their character. Their politeness was not ol quite so grave and formal a kind as that to which the long rule of Elizabeth gave rise and which was best illustrated by Sir Philip Sidney, who on the battle-field gave, with the self denial of a noble nature, a drink of water to a dying soldier who stood in even more urgjnt need. The reign ot a queen who was even a termagant like Elizabeth would naturally create an atmosphere of respectf al politeness about a court that would in time infect the whole nation. After Elizabeth the English nation degenerated in good-breeding till another revival came in the time of the famous beaux during the last century. This, like all previous periods remarkable for courtesy, came from the desire to show respect to woman, as is illustrated by tLe following, one of many rules made by Beau .Nash when he was autocrat of fashion it Bath

That gentlemen crowding before ladies at the ball show ill manners, and (hat none do so for the future, except such as respect nobody but themselves.

The English squire of this period was often a booby, such as is seen in the play ot David Garrick and many of the old comedies, and his manners needed refining. About this time came in the "fine old English gentleman," whom the poets have honored and whom Addison has immoralized in Sir Roger de Coverley. This type of character, which may, perhaps, in a limited way, have antedat ed the epoch of which we speak, made an admirable combination of good heart and precise, if not always graceful, manners, and continued thenceforward for nearly a hundied years. If it exists today in England it is in some very retired districts, and is einplifiei by seme aged nobleman or squire who has managed to escape the contamination of,modern manners.

The change from the formalities of religion to the formalities of politeness has never been difficult. The old English independent despised all that savored oi courtesy as false and insincere, but when liis descendents grew up among the forests of New England their asceticism softened aDd there developed an admirable type of gentlemen, such as Hancocks, Otises and Adamses, and the squires oi the country villages, who were the social in'-dtils of their respective neighborhoods The quiet dignity ot Sabbath decorum affected the manners of all classes during the week. The quiet, dignity of the Quakers, which followed their first out bursts of fanaticism, was a part of their religion and modified their social life. The Virginia gentlemen of the regime that preceded the Revolution are found described in the novels ot Tnackeray. They were a fine class of men, whose honesty, native to the soil, was graced by a poiish acquired by occasional visits to England. From this Southern chivalry, which was the genuine article, and tha religious feeling ot the Dutch, the Puritans and the Quakere' era—those who appeared in the conventions and Congress of the time and adorned the "court" of Washington and those of the Presidents who followed him. Descriptions ot the receptions of the first chief magistrate of the nation are not wanting, and from them we infer that there was seen at them far more formal politeness that at the more crowded Presidential receptions of the present day. Washington himself scarcely unbent for a moment, and Mrs. Washington, on her

After the Revolution and wnue me natien was becoming solid and homogeneous, manners continued for fifty years or more without much change. The code of courtesy prescribed numerous forms that are now neglected. The oil minuet, which had been the principal dance in England during the era of the beaux, disappeared from America about the time independence was declared, but dancing, such as there was of it in the few localities where religion permitted frivolous a diversion, still maintained considerable dignity. Politeness was very generally inculcated in families and schools. Respect to superiors was strictly enjoined. Children leaving school at the close of the session bade a formal adieu to their teacher, and if a bevy of them met a traveler while going home, they formed *n line along the road and bowed or oourttsied to him as he passed. Children when asked questions attached the title "sir" or "madam" to the monosyllables "yes" or "no" given in reply, and ladies and gentlemen oftener than now used the same appellations. People of all grades of society treated one ano'her with simplicity, but in a manner much more respectful, and those in position received from those of inferior station far more marked attention and res pect. Fitly years ago young America was a quiet, subdued and nice sort of youth, qnite unconscious that he was a popular sovereign, or if he was aware of the greatness to which he had been born, willing to bear his honors meekly and wait in the background till he became of age and had a legitimate Tight to claim his rich inheritance. The rod had not then passed out of fashion and parents still thought themselves the superiors of their children, while parental reverence still lingered in the breasts of their offspring.

Those days were not perfect, but they had advantages to which persons look back with respect. If we have less time to be formally polite and the brevity of life no longer permits us to dance the minuet, we can still be courteous in our more modern fashion. Even it we live in days in which the doctrine of evolution has wrought a terrible disenchantment we need not entirely lose the sentiment of reference which forms the basis ot all respectful attention to others. The rapid stream of life may now and then be cheeked in its headlong current for decent social observance and kind feeling may often underlie the artificial manners and small etiquette which has taken the place of the grander style and manner of our ancestors. We are in danger of allowing the glitter of wealth to supply the place of solid virtues and superficial re finement of an education that includes a little of everything to he considered equal to the truer and deeper character that made our forefathers worthy of all respect It is said that the race is becoming smaller year by year. It is to be hoped that the diminution of body will not be accompanied by alike contraction of the reverential element and the moral sense, in the saving of which is our only refuge against the sea of materialism that is setting in so heavily on us.

Rev. Culmer preached to a large concourse of people at Hamilton at 3:30 p. M. last Sunday. Four persons were received in full connection in the church and baptised. The persons were Misses Alice and Emma Fair, Miss Lotta Groce and Miss Ida Lee. Quite a number of persons were present from Lockport, among whom were)Mr. and Mrs. Rumbly. Also a goodly number from the Johnson Sunday school. Mrs. Kate Drake's little daughter was thrown trom a horse last Thursday and badly hurt. She was unconscious twenty-four hours. We are glad to say she is recovering Mrs Huffman's friends will be sorry to learn of her serious illness. She is hardly expected to recover. Miss Lizzie Warner, of Indianapolis, was visiting at Mr. S. Franklin's last week. Miss Anna Anna Thompson, of Youngstown, was visiting her brother Ed this week. Miss Lillie Thompson is visiting Misses Etta and Mattie Wallace, east ot Lockport. Mr. Hall and Mr. Franklin are threshing. Some of our farmers are plowing for wheat. The dry weather is ifjuriug the norn and late potatoes.

Mr. Otis Campbell went to Clay county last Saturday to see his parents and bis girl. We think Charley Rice had more than bis share of partners Sunday eve. Fred Pearce takes a ride to tbe Sand Prairie every two weeks. Wonder why he does not go every Sun day. Our organist, Mrs. Bishop, was sick last Sunday, consequently we had very poor music. Our Sunday school was well attended, Rev. Culmer taking part with us.

Threshing wheat is the order of the day. Yield, three to eight bushels to the acre. There was a Sunday school picnic at Independence church last Saturday. Quite a nice time was had. Sev eral citizens of tbe vicinity made speeches.—Mrs. Mary E. Smith ia still insane. They have taken her to tne asylum at Kankakee City, 111. N. Evinpier has cut his second crop of clover. It will yield one and a half tons of good bay to tbe acre. Corn looks well, but needs rain. Will bs a lisrht crop if it don't rain soon. 'Squire Story has sold his nice filly. There is a large, worthless oak log lying in the center of one of our main roads in Sugar Creek township that has been there for fifteen years, and not one of our super visors have attempted to move it. There may be some one who has made a deposit under it, as did one of the ancient kings under a similar obstruction, to see how long his money wovld be safe. It was safe a good many years. What is it that is older than its mother? Vinegar

Tbe last rain we had a week ago spoiled all the little potatoes. Whyf Because it made them all big ones. There will be a union Sunday scheol convention at Providence church, one and a half miles west of Bloomtown, next Sunday. GEN. CUSTER.

TECUMSEH NOTES.

TECDMSEH, IND Aug. 6. 1883. Very dry and hot, but we have the finest prospect for corn here in the river bottom we have had tor a good many years.

Everything is flourishing in our little village, three grocery and dry goods stores and a blacksmith shop just up on the bill.

J. Ward has been on the sick list, but he is recoveringnow. The steamer Herman was up Saturday mght. They brought with them a hard crowd and plenty of beer and annoyed the people very much. They had several combats on the boat. It was a little to hard on the west side and they moved over to the east where it was too soft. Some of the girls jumped off to go on shore and they went in the mud about three feet. They managed to get them out and look them in the engine room and washed the mad off. They left their slippers sticking below in the mud. Some of the boys was over on Sunday digging them out The boys said they found a gold ring and a bunch of false hair and they thought they would come to a girl pretty toon.

Threshing machines are flying round here threshing wheat. The wheat is not turning out very well in this section.

The two Mormon elders stayed with us two nights this week. One of them is a splendid musician. He played some of his fine Mormon tunes oa the violin, the last night they stayed with us.

The Arkansaw fever is getting pretty bad again here this tall, I don't believe it will tike any of them off, but it did last fail

Uncle Tommy Piagon cornea oft! Uncle Tommy is our hero ot the Black Hawk war having served it) that campaign He says that oar old Bono road which angles across the country from a south easterly to a north easterly direction from the Ohio River to the broad prairies of Illinois was made by the Indians, not ci|t broad as we see it, but only wide enough to admit the passage of a single equestrian. The reds ot Kentucky used to take pride in. a buffalo hunt on the broad land (the prairies) so they made straight for that point. The reason that they came by this way can easily be seen. It is this the land is very high and dry on this side of the river at this point, and it is also a dry route on tbe west side across Ft. Harrison prairie. This gave origin, he says to the old (owns, Tecumssh^ and Pottsvilie, where the Sioux Indians would join the friendly tribes of the dark and bloody ground and take a long hunt. The river at this point was crossed at that time by a rude ferry made by the aborigines. Uncle Tommy says that be has seen Indians all over the ground where New Goshen stands, and that the place which now contains so many white dead-beats and loafers, was once the happy dancing place of the hunting parties just about to arrive at their much loved villages, Tecumseh and Pottsvilie. But the fire water of the red man has been promptly swallowed by tbe white man's gullet, and nothing remains to tell tbe sad story save a little sour wine at Tecum?eh and a tew pints of alcohol at the more advanced town of New Goshen Miss Maggie Wolfe, of Terre Haute, is visiting Mis.

In the death of Rev. G. Zumpe, which: occurred last evening at. a quarter past seven, Terre Haute loses another old and well known German resident. Mr. Zumpe has been sick for some time and his death, from general debility, was not unexpected by his attendants.

The deceased was born in Prussia, Germany on the 12th of January, 1808. He emigrated to this country about fifty years ago and married soon thereafter. He moved to this city sixteen years ago and was pastor of the German Reform church until he was compelled to retire from the pulpit on account ot his old age.

The deceased leaves a wife and eight grown children to mourn his loss, six {of whom reside in this city, three being married. Mr. Zumpe was held in the highest estimation by his brethren and his loss will indeed" be great. His remains Jwill be entered in Woodlawn cemetery. The funeral notice appearsjin: another column.

Both had been drinking,and they both stopped at Risley's saloon which*.,: goes by the name of Blue Rum and drank themselves full of Siagger Juiced and then began to quarrel and finally Bryant drew his knife, which was of the Barlow persuasion and cut Arbuckle in nine different places making some very* ugly gashes on his shoulder and head. Itis thought he will recover.
