Around the World.

Enterprise has opened up a new
method of travelling. A company has
been organized in New York which
sends you around the world for sever
hundred and fifty dollars in gold.
From New York the tourists will
take passage for England, thence to
Alexandria on the regular British
packet, thence pass through the Suez
Canal to Alden, at the south of the
Red Sea. from whence English East
India boats will take them to Canton
or Shanghai, in China, or to Manga
saki, in Japan. Thence they will
have to cross the Pacific to San Fran
cisco, and return to New York by
rail" The first party is to leave in
February. and it is estimated that it
will take ninety days to make the
8 grand round" After q while there
will be pleasure excursions to the
North Pole, where there will be a
hotel and rink for the accommoda-
ton of parties desiring to spend the
summer, and pic-nics in the interior
of Africa, under the direction of DIR.

tion.

US
Below we publish the order of ex-
eroises Of the next annual meeting of
the Indiana State Sunday School Con-
vention, to be held in this city, POM
menoing on the seventh Of June, and
report of the late meeting Of the Ex-
eeutive Committee.
But few Of the persons whose names
appear in the exercises have been con-
suited as to the exercises assigned
them, but the Committee seem conf
dent that they were making judieious
selections. and hope that all will re-
spond. Mr.. TURNER. the member of
the Executive Committee from our
District, informs us that a good de.
gree of interest is manifest Ia other
parts of the State, that our Con7en-
ton may be a decided success, and he
is confident that the Sunday School
workers Of the State will be we'll rep.
resented. Much will remain to be
done by our local CO nmittees; and to
realize from the Convention its fullest
extent Of interest and usefulness, al
Christian people Of the city and sur.
rounding country must make their
plans to attend and encourage its ex.
e~rciees.

We get a glimpse Of the business of
Cincinnati from the twenty. first an
nual report Of the Chamber of Com
merce. The total value of the i'm
ports in 1860 amounted to SOB, b.
PIG, and the value, reduced to gold,
of the same articles imported in 1869,
reached the sum of $213, 045, 927.
The population Of Cincinnati is COM
puted at 100000, and the death rate
during the year ending February q,
1869, was 1906 per 1000 inhabitants,
and the mortality from consumption
was 9.48 per cent. Of the whole num-
Der OF deaths.

TUE Louisville papers are amused
themselves and amusing their readers
over the fact, that the report Of the
superintendent Of the Public Schools
Of Cincinnati shows a decrease in the
number Of children in that city. The
Superintendent says he is forced 10
account for the deficiency by the re-
moval of citizens to the suburbs or
''eIseacbcre." That word elsewhere is
where the joke comes in. The Lou
isville papers say the increase Of
scholars in their schools has averaged
nine per cent. per annum, for the past
two years. They argue, therefore,
that the missing Cincinnati children
may be found In Louisville.

TINS (Patoka) Township, which
has already voted a conditional tax
levy in favor Of the New Albany x
st. Louis Railroad, could, under tho
law. increase the amount to a tride
over $4,000, q majority of the legal

lieve it is the intention to afford them
an opportunity to give their consent
soon.

THE Republicans of the Western
States will remember Mr.. DAWES, of
Massachusetts,. Chairman of the Com
mittee on Appropriations. His manly
speech on Tuesday, in favor of re-
trenchmcnt in all kinds Of expendi-
lures, meets with a hearty response
in their hearts, and voc to that Re
publican from this part of the Union
who votes against the ~retrenehment
proposed. 1t required no little moral
courage for a Representative to take
issue with the recommendations Of
the various heads Of Departments, and
insist that those recommendations
we're unnecessarily and e~xtravagantly
high. That he took such a position
il creditable not only to his manliness
az a Statesman, but also to the party
he represents. We hope the Repub-
licans of the West. especially, will
take the pains to say to him promptly,
Wei done, good and faithful
servant" and strengthen him in his
endeavors by sending him words Of
cheer. We say, with the Cincinnati
Gazette, that it is the earnest wish Of
the great party now holding the reins
of Government that there should be
no sham in this business of q reduc-
ton of the national expenditures; no
pretense, but a thorough-going, hon
est cutting down. To this both the
party and the Administration stand
pledged. To it the people will hold
both, demanding q rigid and unoom
promising execution of the promises.
If the representations of Mr.. DAWES
are correct, it is evident that the
works that have been done do not
bear out the brave words hal have
been spoken. IF his statements arc
not true. then let US have what is true.
If they are, let Us have real economy,
a reform which is a reform.

The Cat.

A large sized cat will be found to have
been "let out of the bag, by reading
the proceedings of the Republican meet
ing of Saturday last. The bull in the
China shop" was on his muscle and the
crockery had little mercy shown it. Mr..
Scarle seemed to be too small game and
consequently Boles had to bear the brunt
Of the bitter attack. The often alluded
to railroad doings of the gallant Boles,
were fully ventilated by the production
of some of the foolish cffusions of the
Member of Congress. The stupidity OF
Boles needed no proof to people, who
live in his former Judicial Circuit and
knew him when he displayed his total
ignorance of law, while occupying the
Bench, but in these letters we find his
stupidity is not confined to the law. i
any such thing is possible, he seems tc
have less sense as politician than as 8
Judge. This is fit ending of his per
formance at Fort Smith, where he per
formed his famous back -somersault, ,lcav
ing Mcconnell, Churchill and others, who

who follow Boles, principles or no prin

to suck much comfort from his scathine
speech We predict the result of this
meeting will cause decided change il

drawal of both the ponies now on the
track, and the entering of full grown
horses Such stock as Bocs and SearlC
will do for scrub race, but if bloodec
animals come on the track they will be
easily distanced The little game ofbluf
won't win, and the purse holders must
come down to Cuisines" The people
are determined TO do away with corrup
tion and imbecilty and to ill the ncccs
sary offices with competent and honest
men. Slipping Mr. Yonley, or any of tha,
class Of men, on the track will not dc
now. That move is headed off and how
are the Delegates to Dardanellc from
Pulaski feeling just now! Is your little
game spoiled? This takes all the thun-
del out of Mr. Clayton's October speech
and lie will be compelled to resort to
some other dodge to fool the Democrats
who are eagerly striving to be humbug
