THE Indiana democrats have in
prospect lively times in the selection
of a U. S. Senator. The contest has
already opened, and the combatants
seem to be preparing for a square
fight. The issue is the financial
question - initiation against con
traction. We fear this continual
wrangling over the currency ques-
ton bodies no good to the country
and its Industries. Already the for
eign holders of our bonds are becom-
ing alarmed over the talk of repudi-
alton, and if the discussion should
continue that alarm may become a
stampede. Should that state of
things arrive, the country, in its
credit and in its business affairs, will
suffer as it never has before. Then,
it will be seen and felt, that demo
cratic victories are bad thing for ma
tional and financial prosperity.

In the forthcoming Ohio Agricul-
tural Report, among the premium
crops of last year is reported the fol
lowing:
A. C. Fuller, Trumbull county
$50 bushels white corn upon ? acres
1913 bushels to the acre.
Upon this most extraordinary crop
Secretary Klippart remarks:
1t is much to be regretted that nc
clue is given of the number of pounds
to the bushel, or the season of the
year when it was weighed. A prac-
tice prevails in some portions of the
State to estimate three half bushels OF
ears of corn as equivalent to one
bushel of shetted corn; by this esti.
mate the above crop would be 1893
bushels of shelled corn per acre
Even at this estimate it exceeds any
crop ever grown in the Miami or Sci
oto Valleys of which we have any
record.

THERE is great destitution in por-
tions of Nebrasks. II is stated that
along the northern aud western DOT
der of the State there is a tier Of four
teen counties where last summer the
grasshoppers destroyed almost the
entire crops of the farmers, and that
the people are not only substantially
destitute of food for the winter, but
actually naked and suffering from
the approaching cold weather.
Gen. Brisbin, of the United States
Army, who has come east to
present the distresses of this
people and obtain supplies, in Gin
cinnati last week, said that he had
lately travelled through the devastated
region in buggy, and found the peo-

One of the Saddest Things That
| Could Be,

From the Fayette County Herald.l
The Democrats in this Congress
sional district have been as greatly
disappointed in the result of the elec
tion of a member of Congress as the
Republicans. When they nominated
Mr.. Savage, they had small, if any,
hopes of electing him. If they had
supposed they could have elected a
Democrat, Savage would not have
been their man-they would have
nominated General Durbin Ward or
our fellow-citizen Jas. +. Ely.
The Third district is not alone in
its disappointment; the same thing
occurred in at least one other district,
which it is not necessary to name,
A Beautiful Human Form Seen

Especial Dispatch TO the Cincinnati Ga
Zette.
RIPLEY, o., Oct. 80.
Yesterday evening, between 10 and
IL o'clock, there appeared suspended
between the heaven and the earth,
almost fac simile of one of Ra-
phaers angels. Though not of the
full stature of well developed hu-
man being, yet it was most perfectly
formed, and as white as alabaster.
The wings were outspread, with arms
extended imploringly, and its evolu-
tions were as rapid and beautiful as
bird, as it.circled in midair. Over
one hundred and fifty of our best
citizens, ladies and gentlemen, were
eye-witnesses of this singular specta-
Gle, and gazed with admiration and
awe. The testimony of all who were
fortunate enough to behold it is that
there was indisputable evidence that
it was not female, although the form
was as delicately moulded and the
limbs as perfectly rounded as the per-
feet Eve that ever came from under
the chisel of an artist. Probably it
can be explained by some of our
scientists.

Table Of the EqunIized Valuation of

From the Madison Journal.
The State Board of Assessment con-
sisting of Peter Doyle, Secretary of
State; Hon. Ferd Kuehn, State Treas
urer, and Hon. A. Scott Sloan, Attor-
ney General, have completed the task
Of equalizlng the valuation of the
property of the several counties of the
State, on which they have been en-
gagged for some time In seeking to
make such an assessment as should be
just to all portions of the State, they
have availed themselves of all the
data procurable in regard to the value
of property in the several coun-
ties, including the valuation OF
ali property as assessed and
equallzed in the several coun-
ties of the state, and reported
by the county clerks; the values given
i'll the report of the United States
census, which, Of course, could be of
little service as guide in the newer
and more rapidly settling counties OF
the State returns as to the amount of
improved and unimproved land in the
several counties; the assessments
made by former State Boards of As.
sessment, and the reports made by the
Registers of Deeds of several counties,
of the actual sales OF real estate during
the past year, with the price per acre
or lot.
No arbitrary classification of coun
ties was attempted, but it was endeav-
ored to fix a fair valuation for each.
The valuation in nearly every county
was increased. In Clark county, it
was slightly diminished. In some
counties it appeared that the assessors
had valued property, especially IN
cities and villages, higher than the
average price Of actual sales during
the past year. The aggregate assess
ment has been increased about
$3O,OOO,O00, to $421, OOO,O The in
crease is mainly on real estate; some
IS, 900, 900 on personal property. The
lowest valuation Of farming lands per
acre is trife less than So the high
est, $43, in Milwaukee. The lowest
aggregate valuation of real and per-
sonal property is $3.50, 169, in Burnett
county; the highest is $50, 565, in
Milwaukee county, of which it will be
seen S37, O24, 1877 is real estate.
The following counties give the larg-
est figures IN certain items OF personal
property: Milwaukee, merchants and
manufacturers stock, IS, $50, 647; also
bank stock, $1,O35, 900. Dane, horses,
81, 147, 500; also cattle, $742, $40. Wau-
kesha, sheep, 1874, 8OS; Grant, swine,
$93, 313.

lied valuation of property, personal
and real, for which we are indebted to

A Russian Dukes EmplOyments.

The Grand Duke Vladimir, of Russia,
second son of the Emperor Alexander,
is ,twenty-seven years Of age, and very
handsome. Like all the imperial
princes, he has been carefully trained,
and has completed his education by
foreign travel During his first tour in
Europe he visited all the principal gal
leries, and on his return resolved to
give up considerable portion of his
time to the cultivation Of the fine arts,
of which he has become distinguished
patron. He is now vice president of
the Imperial Academy, and is in reality
the head Of that body. In common
with all the princes of the imperial
family, he occupies a prominent posi-
tlon In the military service, but ne IS
the only one who takes any part in civil
affairs. Seeing that his inclination lay
that way, the Gear made him member
OF the Senate, and he regularly attends
the sittings of that body.

Value of a Voice.

There is almost always this consola-
ton III store for the possessor of sing
ing voice, no matter how trifing it may
be: That livelihood may be gained by
it. If you can not be a Nilsson or a
Patti, a Faure or Santley, you are
pretty sure at least of being able to get
situation as concert singer; for
these artists are of all grades Of ability.
It may seem terrible thing that a
singer should aim at the grand opera
and succeed in hitting nothing higher
than the stage of a variety theatre ;
but as a practical person [ should say
that it certainly is better for voice
worker to do this than to remain a
needlewoman or a shop girl-for the
simple reason that popular singer in
variety theatre receives an income
worth that of dozen needlewomen or
shop-girls. 1t may surprise my read
ers to learn that such singers receive
from seventy-fve to one hundred dollars
week but it is true. Those who are
recognized frst-class stars of that sphere
are even paid two hundred dollars and
upwards ; but these are men and wom-
en- of special talent in comedy as we'll as
vocalism. The most ordinary singers
Of this class-mere fair faced girls with
small voices and smaller culture-get
twenty or thirty dollars a week. How
many needlewomen or shop-girls earn
as much?
Between the variety theatre and the
grand opera what world of various
opportunities lies And what album
dance of talent has grown from the low
er grades to the higher Adelina Patti
rising from a concert troupe, and
Christine Nilsson from outdoor singing
in the streets of the cities of her na-
tive land, are familiar examples of one
sort: Castle, the graceful tenor, and
Campbell, the high bass, rising from
the stage Of a minstrel company, are
equally familiar examples of another
sort. The great point with singers,
as with other workers, is always to
strive to do their work UeW Then the
result will be worthy, whatever the
scene. Parepa-Rosa employed every
shade of her perfect art in singing
Give o'clock in the morning" as faith
fully as she did when singing in an
opera OF an oratorio.- Gazury

TheatricalS in Paris.

Olive Logan writing of Paris theatre
calls, says: can invariable French Gus
tom, which our managers would do well
to adopt, is getting up a piece in
double AS soon as a piece makes a
hit here it is Immediately cast again to
idle members of the company, and re-
hearsals with there reserved forces are
at once begun. Every soul playing in
the sDeux Orphelines might lie down
and die this afternoon, and tonight the
piece could be played without hitch or
hinderance by fresh artists up in the
parts, ready with costumes, and who
have had on mere chance of the posi-
bility of their being called upon to play,
more rehersals than our managers give
to the original production. This is
what Dickens called the art of taking
very great deal of pains, and that art
is one which, if the desirable in all
fields of endeavor in dramatic contest,
is indispensable. Yet fear an author
If he were not an actor-who should
attempt to direct his pieces on our
stage, would be very coldly seconded
by our artists. They know their own
talent, and would no doubt say or think,
DO you presume to teach me-you
who can not act, while [ can. Yet
Dumas teaches that superb artist, La
fountaine, how to act Mazarin, and La
fountaine receives his instructions
gladly. The great French actor says,
Here, Mr.. Author, give me your con-
ception to it's completest shade; my
task is to fill it. You couldn't act the
part, I couldn't write tour talents
supplement each other"
