to Know. Nothingism in this country,
it is the bitter, proscriptive, and de-
nunciatory policy adopted by a large
class of Germans against those who
oppose their theories of unbridled IL.
cense in the sale of whisky and beer,
and their utter disregard and mocking
Of the sanctity of the Sabbath. The
native citizens of Indiana want no
party organization based upon nation
atty; but the policy Of many Ger
mans is such as to create just such a
party; and if organized they will be
alone responsible for il. 1t is certain
the vices they favor are the vices the
people of Indiana are determined to
restrict, if not crush out entirely by
legal enactment.
THE STATE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.
The call for the State Temperance
Convention at indianapolis on the
I'D of July, originated in New Albany,
and with Democrats and Republicans
alike. Many think the convention
has been rendered unnecessary by the
action of the Republican State Con-
yention on the subject of temperance.
This is a mistake. The convention
should be held on the 22d, and the
temperance forces of the State fully
organized. 1t is not believed the
Democratic State Convention will
favor Temperance; therefore, as mat
ter of policy, and in the interest Of the
cause, the temperance plank Of the
Republican platform and all candi.
dates who stand squarely and unc
quivocally upon it, should have all
organized endorsement from the tenn.
perance masses of Indiana. There is
no thought now among temperance
men Of nominating another ticket; bu,
they need more thorough organiza
tion and singleness of purpose thai
cannot be better attained than through
the proposed conventions. It is to b.
hoped, therefore, that half fare rates
will be obtained from all the railroads
in the State for delegates to this con
vention, and that from twenty FIVE tt
thirty thousand of the temperate,
men and women Of Indiana, full o
enthusiasm and fervor, will aitent
and make it the most notable Stat,
Convention or mass meeting ever he'll
in Indiana. The call for the conven
ton will be formally issued in a fey
days.

trimmer, who scrapes off all rough
ness and unnecessary projections,
and fills up any depressions which
may have been left in the opera

enamel is made by selecting various
ingredients more fusible than those

means of a camel hair pencil. The

applies gum comprising oxide of

when dried, is put into a muffie. or

IN JUNE.

The robins sing in the orchard,
And the hills are green again,
The winds and the golden sunshine
Sweep over the fields of grain.
Deep in the scented clover
The wild bee huns tune,
And q thousand perfumed censers
Are swung on the air OF June.
Oh wings that fiutter in gladness,
And voices that swell in song,
And hours that are full of sunlight,
And the days that are sweet and long!
Oh daisies that brighten the meadow,
And roses crimson and sweet
That scatter a wealth of fragrance
Under our careless feet.
What do you give the sunshine
For all that 1t gives to you?
Only the chalice of perfume,
And drop of crystal dew.
Only the songs of gladness
And the fight OF happy wings,
The bridal bloom of the orchards,
And the cup that the lily swings.
For the clouds, like white ships sailing
In the calm of q summer sea,
And the heaven, as boundless and infinite
AS the years of eternity,
| For the glory of hill and mountain,
And the sweetness of life and love,
| To the giver of song and sunshine,
| And the stars that tremble above,
The birds, and the summer blossoms,
And this happy heart of mine,
| Are singing a sweet thanksgiving,
| For the love that is divine.

Mr. Miles J. Shinn, of Richmond,
Ind, has placed on exhibition with
Professor Cox beautiful specimen
of a broken granite boulder, show
ing smooth face with fringe of
dendritic markings surrounding a
central core. These markings are
arboaescent, and derive their name
from their resemblance to the foil
age of tree. The color is black.
and is probably oxide of iron. The
arrangement of the particles is
probably brought about by electri-
cal currents. The people in the
neighborhood where this stone
was found have compared the fig
ure on the surface presented by the
arrangement of its dendritic mark
ings and the different color of the
center to lake fringed or border
ed by shrubbery. This specimen
will be on exhibition in Professor

When the report of the Commit
tee on Resolutions was adopted
yesterday by an unanimous vote, it
was followed by three cheers that
almost raised the roof of the Acad~
emy. It was interesting at that
point to note the variety of hats
that were thrown up. The first to
appear were the stylish tiles from
Laporte, st. Joseph and the other
northern counties; these were fol-
lowed by the well known broad
brims OF Wayne and the old Burnt
District" the stylish outfits of In
dianapolis and Terre Haute, the
fashionable head gear of Evansville
and New Albany, and general
variety of hats from oil parts of the
State, meeting and mingling with
each other promiscuously in mid
air. All localities and shades of
opinion were represented. There
were hats from the lake and hats
from the river, hats from the east
ern line and hats from the west;
hats from the cities and hats from
the country; hats of middlemen
and hats of grangers; straw hats,
felt hats, soft hats and stove pipes;
hats with papers in and empty hats;
hats from every county and from
every county town in the State
old hats and new hats; winter hats
and summer hats; hats paid for and
hats bought on credit were tossed,
hoisted and thrown into the air in
one wild outburst of Republican
enthusiasm. For a few minutes
nothing could be heard but cheers
| and nothing could be seen but hats

Home.

We assert, as a rule, the whole tone
of a home depends upon the woman
at the head of 1.-THE average home;
not the poverty stricken home, nor
the wealthy home. In this average
home, whether sunshine shall enter
the rooms, whether the parlor shall
be used and enjoyed, whether the ia
BILE shall be invitingly spread, whether
bright lights and bright fires shall
give warmth and cheer on winter
nights-whether, in brief, the home
shall be an agreeable or disagreeable
place, is usually what the woman de-
termines. Men are powerless in the
matter. Some find solace for dis
NAL home in study, some occupation
of business; some submit with what
patience they can; others are attracted
by the cheer of the public house, and
it is especially young men who are
apt. in consequence, to drift into bad
company and bad habits. There are
men-aDd men. Our whole argument
refers to individuals among men who
succumb to bad influences-not the
sex, but a class.-Appleton's Journal.

Letter from st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. July 4th, 1874.
Dear Herald:
According to habit of mine l
wrote you long letter to-day and
left out what, all the time, l meant to
speak of. A week since l heard some
of the religious songs of the blacks in
church, and now can see how others
have regretted that many of the Pc
culiarities slavery has given them must
pass away. Such thought seemed
wicked to me once, but it does not
simply wish that slavery was back,
by any means, only that, with wick
ed system, some bright spots it left
must go too such singing l never heard
before as good / may have heard,
but theirs was different, with q weird,
sad simplicity that reaches the heart.
Art, no doubt, had with these
students of a college, improved their
music, but it will next improve it all
away to our style, and if the songs of
the African race are now more beauti-
full than ears ago, it is like the song
of the dying man, the last sweetest
strains of sound that is passing
away and as we look back this seems
to be the course of history, age after
age, and sometimes a race, passes
away; and each takes with it som :
thing beautiful and grand. There is
something in the tales of Good old
times and Of days gone by, and yet
would we really care to live them over
But it is time to quit writing, see the
fireworks and call the day over. EE.

the same suspension Of public judg-
ment which would be accorded any
accused person undergoing trial on a
grave charge. His trial has been
conducted IN secret, and the fact that
the cause Of the prosecution has been
made public. unqualified by any
evidence of a TebDttiDg character,
and mistaken by any attempt at
judicial sitting or cross-exsmination,
is only one reason the more why the
verdict of the judges should not be
anticipated by and sweeping CON
domination OF the person accused. II
is perfectly obvious, however, that
the publication Of Mr.. Tilton's state
ment will impose upon the Commit
tee of Investigation a method of
treating the evidence submitted to
them rather different from what they
appear to have contemplated. There
is no middle course possible between
either indorsing in its entirety the
terrible indictment made by Mr.. rilton
or disproving in detail its accuse.

learned in science, to test the merit
and truth of his discovery by severe
tests and practical results, and then

Theodore Tilton has at last given
his promised revelation before the
Investigating Committee, called out by
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, to ascer-
tain the truth of slanderous insinua-
tions made by Tilton. Mr.. Tilton's
detailed statement of the whole affair
to the truth of which he has made
oath, is very lengthy, accusing
Beecher of improper intimacy with
Mrs. Tilton. Taking Mr.. Tilton's
statement alone, it would go far to-
ward convincing the public of Mr..
Beecher's guilt. But opinions should
not be too hastily formed, until Mr..
Beecher's side of the story is heard.
All pure minded men will regret
that there should ever have arisen
any occasion for such scandal, and we
earnestly hope that one of the most
talented of preachers the world ever
saw shall yet prove himself innocent
of the charges brought against him.
Below we give extracts from the
editorials of the Tribune and Times /:
"This case now transcends the
power of ecclesiastical conferences or
of well-meaning marplots to settle or
conceal il. Unless this frightful ex-
position is answered promptly and
fully the most famous pulpit orator
the world has ever seen since Paul
preached on the hill of Mars is silonc.
ed, the life of the greatest preacher
in the world is ended. 1t is useless
to fall back on the record of spot.
less and glorious career.
There is no longer safety or digni,
ty in the proud silence which would
have so well become the great pastor
if there were no words of his own tC
be explained. No man living, least
of all his assailants, would have the
right to make him open his lips III
contradiction If his own hand was moi
to bear witness against him. Ever
yet the thousand who for so many
years have known and llonored him
and the vaster consistory to whom
over the whole continent his name has
stood as a symbol of genius, pietl
and every liberal aspiration, will wal
for his word to give them leave tC
trust him as of old. In few days
we shall learn what answer he has tt
make to those grave accusations. l
he can disprove them, his position
will be stronger than ever for this
trial and triumph; if he fails, it il
not to much to say that all Christen
dom will deplore q loss hardly to be
measured by words, and 10 our owr
country his lapse will be regarded as Q
well nigh irreparable disaster.

The proposed Reciprocity Treaty
beteen the United States and Canada,
of which much has been said in the
late political conventions Of Vermont
and other States, is also being oppos-
ed by some of the leading newspapers
of England. So far from that Treaty
being injurious to Britain, the great
objection to it here is that it ic the
reverse, as it is alleged that British
goods will through Canada enter the
United States, duty free, as Canadian
manufactures. We think the fears
on both sides are largely imaginary,
as the classes of goods made free by
the Treaty, are not such as Europe
could supply, so rs to compete with
the United States or Canada, and
therefore England will neither gain
or lose by their free interchange here.
If there were any particular items
which would he obnoxious to either
side, they could easily be omitted.
The idea thai British leather, car
riages and agricultural implements
will be subject to duty in Canada, as
claimed by English DIRECTORS, whilst
the Treaty would give free admission
to American goods of these classes,
is absurd, seeing that England ex-
ports none of them to Canada now ;
and so with nearly all of the list, and
it is equally absurd to suppose that
such goods would be struggled
through Canada into the United
States when they are cheaper and
better here than in England.

From detailed account of the re-
cent Chicago fire we condense the
following particulars:
Some sixty acres were burned over,
most of it lying west of State street,
and yet the loss falls principally on
the east side of that street, where
were located all the valuable building
burned. First Baptist Church, Contin-
entail, st. James and Michigan
Avenue hotels, Post Office, Adclphi
Theatre, Davis Sewing Machine
building, Jones School and one or
two other buildings Of modest dimen-
sons. All the important public build
ings burned are on Washburn avenue
and these, together with few fine
residences on the avenue, comprise
the bulk of the loss. Sampson, Gil
bert & Co.'S furniture house was con-
siderAbiy damaged, but, at that point,
corner of Van Buren, street and Wab-
ash avenue, where the wholesale
places Of new Chicago begin, the fire
was checked. The Post Office building
cost s65, 900; Jones School, $1,000 :
Adelphi Theatre, $4,000; St. James
Hotel, 100000; Michigan Avenue
Hotel, $4,000 continental, $50, 200
Woods, $4,000. The buildings &C.
cupied by Stevens & Co., Terra Gotta
Company and Inter-Ocean buildings
were valued at $40, 900 each ; the first
Baptist Church at 100000. OF pri-
vate residences, number were very
fine and costly edilices and furnished
in the most elegant manner, and their
loss helps to swell the grand aggregate
enormously. The losses west Of
State street cannot be particularized
each being small in itself, but the
grand aggregate amounts to very
large sum.
