by q fresh growth Of mushrooms,
to be burned as inevitably as were
there predecessors. Not only are
they putting up the rude structures
necessary for shelter and business,
but elaborate, extensive, and expen-
sive blocks, with tar roofs, wooden
walls, and every characteristic OF q
box of tinder, minus the box. In
one place they are finishing what
is called marble block" which is
q coarse brick structure, with thin
vaneering, on one side, of some kind
of whitish stone; and nearly one
third of this veneering is being COW
cred with wooden warts, called bay
windows, so elaborately fllagreed
as to remind one of the poultry
houses which enthusiastic gentle
men farmers used to build, in the
crisis of the hen fever. That love
of cheap decoration which can in
duce men, in the awful shadow Of
death and desolation which hangs
on this city, thus to add to the fu-
ture risk of life and property, is q
mania which should subject the pa
ntient to the restraints of legal guar
dianship.
A large and respectable party in
Chicago are struggling against the
tide of public sentiment, and seek
ing to procure the passage of such
laws as will bring future security;
but, thus far, they have been de-
feated and overpowered, and that
human sympathy which flew on
lightning pinions to comfort the
houseless should extend the further
aid of q moral sentiment which shall
defend Chicago from future and
fast impending destruction. A very
little common sense on the part OF
insurance companies would have
spared us the last great fire and
saved them from bankruptcy; and,
if local causes operate to prevent
the people here learning the lesson
of the great fire, there is no reason
why those who look on from dis
tance should be blinded by the
smoke. Let the civilized world come
to the rescue, and help this infatu-
ated people to learn the lesson the

"No national being had any
doubt as to the authors of these
acts. The universal instinct, strong
er oftentimes and more unerring
than legal evidence, pointed to the
members of single family and
their confederates. But every effort
to secure the execution of justice
was fruitless. If the suspected were
arrested, there was always a way of
escape. Sometimes alibi would be
Overwhelmingly proven BY witnesses
prepared to swear through a stone
wall. If there were inconvenient
adverse witnesses they were spirited
away or bribed to absent them
selves, or, if sensible to reason or
persuasion, they were put out of
the way by violence. Persons were
found murdered, against whom
there was no grudge or ground of
offense save the fear that they
might prove impracticable wit

"At last the Hoosier spirit arose
"a spirit patient, sluggish even,
but when aroused acting in tremen-
dous earnestness and irresistible, as
was eminently proved in the war.
Another robbery of al, express car
had taken place, and three men
charged with the offense were on
their way by the cars to the coun-
try Jail, to be tried and again
released; and again, it may be, to
retaliate on all who had been active
in their arrest. A body of citizens
stopped the train, took the men
from the cars, and hanged them
from the beech tree. Later, three
more, under precisely the same cir
cumstances, were hanged to the
same tree. 1t was a ghastly incident
of the affair that the tree stood
within q stones throw of q little
house in which one of the prisoners
had been born. His last gaze before
he swung off into eternity was fixed
upon the door about which he had
played in his innocent childhood.

PUNCTUATION.

There is great carelessness, if not
ignorance, in the matter of punctua-
ton, whereby much misunders!and-
ing ARISES. Many persons even
emulate the ancient writer's in leav-
ing out all marks or divisions of
any kind, like the barber who
wrote over his door 4: "What do
you think I shave you for nothing
and give you a drink" which was
interpreted by some to imply an
easy shave and morning tipple to
be got for the asking. Such, how
ever, was not the meaning of our
worthy tonsor, who, ON being ar
raigned before the magistrate for
what seemed clear case of decep-
ton, exclaimed "What do you
think 1 shave you for nothing and
give you drink ?"
Points were first used by Aris-
tophanes, a grammarian of Alexan-
dria, 200 years b. c., but were not
not generally used until the modern
system was introduced at the be-
ginning of the sixteenth century by
a learned printer of Venice named
Manutius. Punctuation not only
serves to make an authors mean
ing plain, but often saves it from
being entirely misconceived. AND
there are many cases where a change
of points completely alters the
sentiment. The following anecdott
of an English statesman, who once
took advantage of this fact to fret
himself from an embarrassing posi-
ton, is an amusing illustration
Having charged an officer of th'
government with dishonesty, h
was required by Parliament, under
a heavy penalty, publicly to retrac
the accusation in the House of Com
mons. At the appointed time, h
appeared with a written recantation
which he read aloud as follows
Il said he was dishonest, it is true
and I am sorry for it" This wa
satisfactory but what was the sur
prise of Parliament the following
day to see the retraction printed u
the paper thus II said ne wa
dishonest !; it is true, and l on
sorry for it." By simple trans
position of the comma and semi
colon, the ingenious slanderer re
presented himself to the country
not only as having made no re
cantation, but even as having re
iterated the charge in tho very fac
of Parliament.

THE Two PEARS.

Brother Jonathan has the reputa-
ton of being inordinately fond OF
fruit-ripe, healthy fruit. which
falls when it is ready to be eaten.
He likes his cider and his apples
his pears and his melons-and has
quaint style of his own of waiting
for the former until they fall on his
own premises, when he disposes OF
them at his leisure. He had one
bloody struggle to secure slice OF
foreign territory, to reach over a
neighbor's lines and pluck that
which, had he been patient, would
have fallen on his own ground and
become legally and peaceably his
own. This experience has made
the Yankee nation prudent and
wary. Hereafter it will wait un-
til the fruit it desires is ripe, and
falls where it will become ours by
the right, not of warlike wrestling
from its original stem, but OF peace
able possession by the logical events
in the progress of nations. There
are two pears even now ripening
and almost ready thus to fall 1t
is only q question of time as to
when we shall have Mexico and
Cuba. The inexorable laws Of COM

lations are certain to give US Cuba

possession as the ripe fruit ON the
limb which extends over q neigh

rudely shaking the tree. Storms

from its roots, and the Cuban peal
will fall into Brother Jonathan''
lap before he is aware Of it. Thus

The Seymour Beech.
THE TREE TEN MEN WERE HANGED
UPON.

The Rev. H. L. Wayland con-
tributes the following to the In
dependent:
"Boston had its liberty tree,
Hartford its charter oak, Pittst1eld
its great elm, New York its Stuy-
vesant pear tree, and Seymour,
Indiana, has its beech tree. 1t

town, Just at the crossing OF the
country road and the Ohio and
Mississippi railroad. The trunk is
covered pretty thickly with the
names of persons who desired to 60

mortality associated with the tree
from which, under the auspices OF
Judge Lynch, six criminals were
suspended.
Il visited the beech tree not long
since, and heard from some OF the
neighboring farmers its story. Foi
years there had been no safety oi

were almost nightly. Several times
the cars were run off the track al
night; and the passengers, sud
denly aroused from sleep, and help
less, were robbed by armed men il

PO EFT RY.
A SONG FOR THE HARVEST.
BY JOHN ". CHADWICK.

Come, list to a song for the Harvest;
Thanksgiving and honor and praise;
For all that the bountiful Giver
Hath given to gladden. our days.
For the grain and the corn in their plenty,
For the grapes that were gathered with
song,
For pumpkins so brave with their yellow,
They had lived upon sunbeams SO long
For cranberries down in the meadow,
And the buckwheat that famed on the
hill,
And blueberries tempting the children
To wander and pick them at will.
For the peaches that blush through their
pallor,
Or glow like pretty quadroon,
As they dream of the sun in the morning,
Or welcome his kisses at noon.
For the sweet-smelling hay and the clover,
That sweeten the breadth of the kline;
And the apples that fingered, as dreading
The dir and the light to resign.
And not for tie fruit-harvest only
We offer our thanks and our praise;
Not less have the leaves and the blossoms
| Made brighter and better the days.
The leaves that delight with their green
ness,
That soften the heat with their shade,
And nestle so crisply in autumn,
To startle the lover and maid.
For the blossoms that whiten in May-timt
The ground, as with snow, as they fall
For the fowerets that whisper theil
meanings
In cottage and Lovel and hall.
Ave, thanks for the harvest Of Beauty!
For that which the hand cannot hold
The harvest eyes only can gather
Which only our hearts can enfold!
We have reaped it on mountain and moor
land;
We have Cleaned it from meadow an
lea;
We have have garnered it in from tn
cloud-land;
We have bound it in sheaves from tn
Sea.
And thanks that the whole of the harves
Is not for the children of men;
That the birds and the beasts are remem
bered,
The dwellers in river and fen;
I That He giveth them meat in due season
And heareth their cry when they call
The tiniest, weakest among them,
i The hugest and strongest of all.
But the song it goes deeper and higher;
n There are harvests which eye cannot Sc
: They ripen on mountains of Duty,
! They are reaped By the brave and Il
free.
:, And these have been gathered and ga
nered;
l Some golden with honor and gain,
1 And some as with hearts blood mac
4 ruddy.
The harvests of sorrow and pain.
e Alas for our pitiful singing,
For all it has lasted SD long,
The half of our rupture and wonder
Has not been expressed in our song.
But he who is Lord of the Harvest
The Giver who gladdens our days
e Will know if our hearts are repeating,
Thanksgiving and honor and praise

As our motto indicates, the LOU

tss a,d uacteraN circumstances We
ilali advocate the security and enjoy
rent OF broad civil liberty, the abso-
late equality of all men before the law,
and an impartial distribution of hon
or and patronage to all who merit
them.
Dosirous of allaying animosities, Of
celebrating the memory of the bitter
past, OF promoting harmony and union
among all classes and between all in
terests. We shall advocate the removal
Of all political disabilities foster kind
ness and forbearance, where malgnity
AL resentment reigned, and seek for
fairness and justice where wrong and
oppression prevailed. Thus united in
or aims and objects, we shall conserve
our best interests, elevate our noble
State to an enviable position among
her sister States, by the development
Of her illimitable resources, and secure
