B6E" The Enquirer and other Democratic
papers excuse Col. Hendricks's short-com-
ings as a public speaker and statesman, by
saying that he is too serious in his convic-
tions to descend to humor or amusement;
he does not indulge in levity, etc. OF course
not. He sees nothing III the present aspect
of affairs to laugh at. 1t is very serious
matter with him and his party-the pros
pect before them is. Would you expect
man to laugh when going to a funeral p
No wonder they are all SO melancholy.
Col. Lane, on the contrary, is on good
terms with himself and /" the rest of man
kind" The prospect of success cheers him.
He can entertain his auditors with solid
argument, then with gem Of splendid
fancy, then with an erudite historical narra-
tion, then with an affecting allusion to the
memory of some venerated departed states
man, and wind up his speech with funny
story to put his friends in good Lumor with
themselves. This facility is what makes
him so popular as an orator.
We pity Col Hendricks when canvassing
:ith Col. Lane. He is clever man,
but labors under a mountain-load of Le-
comptonism and party-sln which is crushing
him to the earth. He has the Democratic
horrors. .=#

HOME AND HARTFORD INSURANCE COMPA-
NIEs-These old and reliable Companies
have inserted their advertisements in our
paper, which we trust all Of our business
men will carefully read. Without resort
ing to any subterfuges, they have complied
with the State law relating to foreign In
surance Companies in every particular.
Their capital is large, the management of
their business prudent and their ability to
make good any loss that may come upon
them unquestionable. 1t will be seen that
Messrs. A. C.. HALLoCK & SoN are their au-
thorized agents. Mr.. HAllock has been en-
gagged in the Insurance business for many
years, and though unfortunate, we are glad
to know that he has not forfeited the re-
spect of these two Companies, aDd that
they still retain him as agent. He now in

Insurance business, and we have no doubt
will largely increase the business of the
Companies, whose names head this notice

FIRE.-Tho alarm of fire yesterday eve
ming was caused by the burning of tour or
five stables and wood sheds on the alley in
the rear of dwellings on Walnut and Third
Streets. The fire caught in the stable of Mr.
Eaton, whose residence is on Third St, and
bid fair at one time to be of serious ma
ture, rs it spread 10 the stable and wood shed
of Mr.. Davidson and others on Tie same
block, and to the new brick stables just
erected by Mr.. Barnes, on the site of those
burned short time ago.
The Fire Department were promptly on
the ground, and through their exertions
the fire was checked aud n large conAagra-
ton prevented. The Steam Engine was
Z. on time, and did much to stay the flames.
The fire was undoubtedly the work of an
incendiary, and no efforts should be spared
to ferret out the perpetrators.

rhe state Geologicai s@rvey.

1t is very little known, aud perhaps very
little needed, that our State is at this time
being geologically surveyed by our esteemed
and learned fellow citizen, Professor DAVID
DALE Owen, of New IIarmony-than whom
there is not more hard working, able, and
Jealous devotce of SCIENCE in. the United
States. We do pride ourselves most highly
when we consider that he is and has been
engaged by SO many of our sister States to
perform their surveys.
His works on Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota,
and Wisconsin, ought to be in every ones
library. They are valuable, not only as
books of reference, but as textbooks for all
that appertains to the Geological and Chemi-
cal reconnaissance of their States.
The volumes on the Survey of Kentucky
which he has just concluded are most pre-
else and voluminous, and will ever be mani
festly of the greatest advantage to that
State
At present, Prof. Owen is engaged with his
several parties in surveying Arkansas and IT.
diana, and as it does not take him more than
two or three years toeompiete full descrip-
ton of a State, we may soon expect to have
some of the fruits Of his labors in our vi
cinity. s
Other States have not been as fortunate
as those who have engaged the services of
our much valued citizen. For Instance,
our adjoining sister State of Illinois has
had Geologist in her employ for many
years, ami yet there is scarcely anything
to. evidence his labors.
TO show the value of our Professors de-
ductions as evidenced by reprint ofa Pam
phlct entitled "Report of Geological RI
conuoisance of the State of Indiana, made
il the year 1887, he states at page eleven,
bin the second part, that the Newburgh main
coal vein would be found at Evansville at
! from 200 to 22O feet below the bed of the
Ohio River. The coal was found at $50 feet
from the top OF the shaft, and it is some 60
| to 20 feet from thence to the bottom of the
river. truer or better deduction than
this could not possibly have been arrived at
The above Pamphlet was last year ont of
print, and when the Geological Survey was
determined upon. and sir. Owen appointed
the State Geologist, a reprint of the work
was ordered.
y We expect much good TO result to our
State from the Survey, and hail with uu-
feigned satisfaction the hands to whom it is
consigned, feeling assured that we shall
now have as complete a Geological survey
| of our State as can be made.

THE OTHER LIFE.-As grow older, and
come nearer to death, | look upon it
more and more with complacent JOY, and
out of every longing, hear God say, 40,
thirsting hungering one, come to me-
What the other life will bring [ know not,
only that shall awake in Gods likeness,
and see him as he is. If child had been
born aud spent all his life in the Mammoth
Gave, how impossible would it be for him
to comprehend the upper world ! His par
ents might tell him of his life, and light, and
beauty, and its sounds of Joy they might
heap up the sand into its mounds, and try to
show him by pointing to stalactites how
grass and flowers and trees grow ont of the
ground, till at length, with laborieus think
ing the child would fancy he had gained a
true idea of the unknown land. And yet,
though he longed to behold it, when the day
came to go forth, it would be with regret
for the familiar crystals and the rOck-hewn
rooms, and the quiet that reigned therein
But when he came up, some May morning,
with ten thousand birds singing IN the
trees, and the heaven bright and blue, and
full of sunlight and the wind blowing softly
through the young leaves, all a-glltter with
dew, and the landscape stretching away
green and beautiful tn the horizon, with
see how poor were all the fancyings and the
interpretations which were made within the
cave, of the things which grew and lived
without. and would he wonder that he could
have regretted 10 leave the silence and the
dreary darkness of his dread abode.
So, when we emerge from this cave of
earth Into that land where Spring growtbs
are and where there is summer, and not that
miserable travestie which we call summer
here, how shall we wonder that we could
have clung so fondly to this dark and barren
life.
But on, then, O heart and yearn for dy-
| ing. | have drank at many fountain, but
! thirst came again have fed mt many a
bounteous table. but my hunger returned; I;
| have seen many bright and lovely things,
but while | gazed this lustre faded There
! is nothing here that can give me rest; but
when behold thee, o God, shall be sntis-
fled -Beecher.

Rev. Theodore Parker, in one of his let
tcrs from Europe, published in the Liberator,
says:
p ain Europe you see many things which
seem strange to an American. Take the
use of wine. If | am right the Europeans
consume about 6,5O0,000,000 gallons Of
wine. In France, leave out of account the
pasture land which is not ploughed, and the
forests, of the actual arabic land, one-third
is devoted to the culture of the grape Yet
there are immense districts where no wine
can be raised at all. ! see it stated that the
government returns make it appear that
the people of France drink $4,000 900
gallons of wine, and the calculation is that
the amount is not mach less than !, ,000,0 ,0oo,ss
900. Yet don't believe, in the year 1859,
there was so much drunkenness among the
80, 900, 900 people of France as among the
], OOO, 900 Gaukees of New England.

step up and drink rum and water, gin and
water, &c. Excessive drinking is not to the
taste OF the people In the north of Europe,
and even in Switzerland, it is not so. The
English, without help from the Irish and
Scotch, drink about 600 or 100000 600
gallons Of beer every year, not to speak of
the wine, spirits, &c, they take TO wash it
down withal There is drunkenness. So
you find it in Scandinavia, in Holland, and
North Germany. How do you think the
Americans will settle the drink question
Certainly not by taking merely TO water,
tea, coffee, &c We shall have more beer,
perhaps return to the making of cider, and
certainly plant vines where they will grow.
Drunkenness is such a monstrous and
ghastly evil | would do almost anything to
get rid of it. But sometimes think we
have taken the wrong track. am glad to
see the license law introduced to the New
York legislature and think it will DO more
good than our New England scheme OF pro-

g l stood where the lips of song lay low
Where the death dew had gathered loves young
brow.
Oh silent and sad tue thoughts that come,
As lonely muse DER tn low green tomb
i have come from far-of land to dwell,
Where the gush of youth on my being fell;
And many have welcomed me home again,
From distant cline DER the sounding main.
But where is she of the bright, glad heart
And the speaking eye, which would seem part
OF a being formed for the realms on high,
Where love and Beauty can never die?
Sne is not here to welcome me back
From the long dim league-the weary track.
For the wild grass grows DER her Iowly bed,
And a white rose blooms above her head.
Why wakes the wind, with its low, sad toue,
A mem'ry of music forever fowu!
For seem TO hear, through the forest trees,
Thy soft, glad voice on the evening breeze
The bee wings by with a busy chime,
Murmuring song for the glad spring time;
And sweet flowers bloom by the woodland track,
But where is the loved one welcome me back.
The earth is robed in vernaI bloom,
And the wild woods breathe a rich perfume,
And the bird fits by on happy wing,
Warbng song for the merry Spring.
But she, OH she of the radiant brow
She is deeked with crown of glory
In the % beautiful eye, the spirits shrinc,"
There beams angels light divine.
Aud know that afar. on that radiant shore,
Where the inborn spirit long will soar,
She IL welcome me there in that happy cline,
