We know that if large amounts of property
were now put up al public sale in this city
sales could not be affected TO SO good advan-
tage as they might have been one year ago.
whe there was twice the spare capital in the
city that there is now. And we know that
some men have sacrificed property here by
forced sale. to raise money, just as is being
done at every other place and at all times
But we deny the statement of the Enquirer,
III at property has deprecated IS per cent.in
Evansville. ct that it has deprecated at all.
/, is boast of our citizens, that while pro-
perty has been depreciating in almost every
other young commercial city. under the late
panic, it has held its own in Evansville. The
growth of Evansville still continues. We
have already noticed new buildings goingup.
and others contracted for, and the improve
ments on the outskirts, proving that no mat.
ter how other places may be affected, Evans
vile is going straight ahead. Are these evil
dences of a depreciation of property! Is
the rapid building of a new railroad OF great
importance such evidence! Is the present
practical opening of the greatest canalin the
world to this point such evidence! Where
are the evidences of this depreciation of pro-
perty. Ask the property holders if they are
asking less for their unimproved property
the true criterion, than they did year oil
two years ago. Even if property had dePre
ciated in value here, it is true we are only or
par with, most other places-but we claim
for Evansville prosperity little above
most other cities. II property has been de
precating SO terribly here, we want to SET
more evidences oft than are now staring u
in the face, in the shape of new building
and new public Improvements. While al
things are advancing heres connected will
our prosperity, it would be singular if tina
which depended directly upon these thing
were falling in value. .,-. 70 -

When our TICKET is composed entirely of
Proiestanis. and among them Presbyterian
preacher, it is the height Cor rather the
tepth) of folly to charge that our party
is endeavoring to "court The Catholics ~ =
We presume there is evidence enough
that the late democratic convention did not
attempt to "court the Catholics" in the fact
that there is not a Catholic, nor man Of
Catholic proclivties, among the whole roll
of nominees Lou. Times, .esises 80
And SO the democratic State convention
evinced its horror OF the intolerance of the
know nothings in declining to support Roma n
Catholics for Office, by nominating an entire
State ticket upon which there is Presby-
terrain preacher, but "nelther Catholic
nor man of Catholic proclivities.''

FEARFUL REScoNTRE- WITH ABEAR,-- On
the 2Sth ult. a citizen Of Morgan county (Va.)
was hunting on the lCacapon mouptan, when
his attention was drawn, by the barking of
his dogs, to a ledge Of rocks. Approaching
the spot, he perceived an object which ap-
peared to be the head of some animal. He
raised his rifle and fired, and Immediately a
huge bear can rushing upon him. What
ensued is thus described BY the Bath Enter
prise: The hunter attempted to defend him.

from him with stroke of its paw, and hurled
him upon the ground and Bit him severely,
The hunter then called his dogs to his as,

I A New LIQUID MEAsURE.-An invention

Register, the advantages of which TO grocery
dealers are thus stated by the Tribune:
Itrenders sets ofmeasures, with their ques-
tionIble accuracy, unnecessary; it saves
time, waste and danger of fire from the spill
ing of infiammablc liquids, as the fluids are
drawn directly into the vesselyto be repien-
ished, the dial indicating the exact quantity,
it registers not only each individual sale, bu,
aggregate drawings for the day. week, month,
or year, thus keeping a perfect journal of
sales; and it also measures the quantities put
into vessels to which it may be adjusted, thus
forming perfect test of the accuracy of the
guager. With these advantages its simplici-
ty renders it almost impossible for it to get
out of order. ~- -fi .tasa lsssfs3 j. vi ssfk

The NEW Au,ocrat of Russia.

The new incumbent Of the throne Of all
the Russians is named Alexander, and from
what we have heard Of him. through various
sources, we Judge thathe viii never rival his
great nomesake, the rival of Napoleon the
First. Still, he possesses good deal of the
older Alexander's character, being amiable,
adventurous, and, it is said, rather wild. He
is about the age of Louis Napoleon5a nd it IS
a singular coincidence that a new Napoleon
and new AIexander-both comparatively
young men, as were those great relatives
should now be arrayed against each other,
while on their action once more, hang the
desiinies OF Europe. "There is God in his
tory.'
"The new Gar was born on the 29th of
A pril, 1918, and accordingly Is nearly thirty
seven. If not of extraordinary abilities, he
possesses fair capacity and intellect. If not
gifted with the iron will of his father, and il
marked by a certain mildness of temper, he
has exhibited more than once considerable en-.
ergy. He has a poetical and chivalrous turn
of mind, and is Russian TO the core. Years
ago he urged the use Of the Russian language
at Court, instead of French. AS Grand
Duke, he was always kind to any pure gen.
uine, Russian development in literature and
policy. Some ten years ago, he insisted
strongly on the propagation of the Russio
Greek creed among the Protestant Firms,
Esthonians, and other tribes forming the
peasantry in the Baltic provinces.
tits scarcely TO supposed that he will make
any changes among the highest dignitaries Of
the empire. Such things will come by and
by, as for some time past he had small

Prominent among these is Prince Baryat.
lyusky, who last year distinguished himself
in Asia against the Turks and the Circasian
Shamyl. This prince is proud, naughty
ambitious Russian. He spent great deal Of
his youth in Vienna, and it is possible he may
be sent thther under some pretext-to CO n
troll the action of the Russian legation at the
approaching conferences.

Life Insurance..

We have often wondered why every man
of family, who has the proper love for his
wife, and children if he have any, does not
constantly keep bis life insured. II has truly
been said no man knoweth what the morrow
may bring forth. The man who to-day may
in the very prime of life be looking forward
to years of vigor and usefulness, perhaps
to- morrow will lie corpse. No insurance
can prolong life an hour, unless in lessening
life's anxieties, but it may secure poor beings
now relying alone upon the love and strong
arm of the husband and father, when that af-
lection and strength are palsied by the hand Of
death from poverty morebitter and UNDESIRABLE
from its total unexpectedness. When we SO
often see families which have always been
in the full enjoyment of the comforts if not
Injuries of life, made by the death of their
head, dependent upon the cold charities of
the world, and reflect that this bitnr cup at
least might have been kept from their lips
by a little prudent foresight and small ex-
penditure in the now doubly amented depart
Bile neglect or selishness of feeling in him
who might have forearmed his family against
any such unhappy contingency in case of his
death. Probably nearly three fourths of the
families in every community are literally de-
pendent upon the exertions of its head, and
| in case of his withdrawal by death, would be
dependent upon charity or their own exer-
tions for future support. And yet the great
majority of these hopes of families are earn
ling enough by their daily labor or business
to be able to spare the small amount annual.
", requisite to secure their families at least
from poverty in case Of accident to them
selves. II istrue. no healthy man is apt to
look forward to death in connection with
himself, as speedy consumation, and it seems
waste of money to pay out dollars to secure
for his family that which they can never re.
tceive till he does die. But it is we'll tina
every man Of family should provide for thai
which may come. One good deed will Their
live after him at all events, should've die
To those who in case of death would leave
their families amply provided for, these re
marks are not perhaps applicable--but tina
we feel them true in reference to others, we
have proven by following our own advice
For three years we have had our life insured
and so long as there is a human being Deepen
dent on us, we shall continue to insure lif,
