ORION REFUSED OF NEW TRIAL - THE
L'AMERIQUE-HER PRESENT CONDITION.
LONDON, April 2O-The Tichborne claimant
is denied new trial on all the points raised
by his counsel, DIR. Kenealey.
A Herald special says that the French
steamer T. L'Amerique was brought into Ply
mouth Saturday evening. The engineer and
mate of the steamer Spray, who first boarded
the French steamer LAmerique, report that
they found all the steamers boats gone ex-
cept the Gig. There was six feet of water
in stocker holes, and two of the dead lights
were burst in in and admitting water. The
pumps were found to be choked, which cir
cumstance probably caused the panic. The
mate thought it was possible to save the
steamer, as the weather was moderating. 1t
was then blowing half a gale. The Spray
sent salvage crew on board. Large warps
were attached 10 the Amerique's cable chain,
and the Spray started with the steamer In
Brest. The work OF towing was
easy all that day. 1t was discovered the
next day that the propeller of the L'Ameri-
que was gone. On the same day her chain
slipped and was lost. The Spray then sight
ed the steamer F. F. Barry and arranged for
her 10 assist in bringing the steamer into
port. They continued to head for Brest
until A o'clock in the afternoon when the
wind shifted and they resolved to change
their course and make for British
port and Plymouth was sighted Saturday
at Bpm. No sounding pumps were to be
found, on the L'Amerique. The donkey
engine was broken. The mate of the Spray
says that the bedding was piled against the
broken headlights until the damage could be
repaired. The LAmerique, when first
sighted, was under two close reefed top sails
on her mizzen mast, and was hauled out on
the starboard tack. Her cargo had shifted,
but when the port side was brought
to the wind the steamer righted.
There is no list on her at present,
as she lies in Plymouth harbor. Lloyds
agent reports that pumping is actively con-
tinued to-day, but no decrease Of water is
apparent. There are nine feet yet in the
after compartment and eight and half feet
in the engine room.

GLANCE AT EXISTING EvILs-sEcRECY AND

To the Editor of the Sentinel:
SIR:-Never, probably, in the history OF
the country, has the public mind been in
such an unsettled, added condition as at the
present. The press-the independent portion
of it--has been for two years past exposing
fraud after fraud, rings within rings, financial
jobberies, official zlements-exnibiting
most astounding condition of rottenness,
involving citizens of high and low degree,
the honored in collusion with the dishonOred,
all working together in robbing by ingenious
and fashionable devices those whom they
are wont to patronizingly designate
as the dear people" This work
of exposure has been well done, because
1t has been found profitable, and late devel-
opments suggest the inquiry whether it is
not becoming a studied policy with some

A SOUTHERN SENTIMENT.


In Indiana, as elsewhere, there is much
dissatisfaction with the management Of the
old political parties. This feeling has re
Gently found vent in action looking to an
independent movement, as in Illinois, Iowa,
Wisconsin and other states. Recently a
state convention OF farmers was held in In
dianapolis, and the result was the issue of a
call, which is being signed by thous-
ands in every portion OF the state:
1t is understood that in sympathy
with this movement are the /, 800 farmers
associations in Indiana, composed of men
representing every shade Of political Opin.
ION: but who have lost confidence in the
ability and disposition of either of the old
political organizations to keep step in the
march of progress. The present session of
congress has done much to intensity this
feeling of aistrust; and now that start
has been made, the Indiana discontented
elements intend pushing forward. To
use a homely phrase, they are deter
mined to either "make spoon
or spoil horn." 1t is too early to make
predictions regarding this movement, but 1t
is important as additional evidence Of that
growing dissatisfaction with the present
condition of politics which Is asserting itself
IN the gradual loosening of party lines and
the readiness with which former political
opponents now strike hands on platforms
that utterly ignore old. worn-out issues.

"GREAT INFLUENCE AND IMMENSE POWER
FOR GOOD.o

FOR GOOD"
From the Terre Haute Journal
Below will be found letter. addressed to
the editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel, by
James Comstock, explanatory of the call for
a farmers reform convention, which re-
Gently appeared in the columns of that
paper. 1t seems that the call, while it was
not issued by the grangers in their official
capacity, still was talked over by them as
individuals, and as individuals had their en-
dorsement and sympathy. 1t appears
further that the Sentinel had nothing
whatever to do with it, except to pub
lish the call, and the severe criticisms
made by the Indianapolis Journal in
relation to this whole matter are charac-
teriZed by Mr.. Comstock as ''monstrous
misrepresentation. We are glad to see
this whole matter so clearly explained. and
to know that all the charges made by the
Journal against the Sentinel are 'misrepre-
sentations." What this convention may
ripen into it is difficult, at this time, and with
the limited information we have as to its
objects, to determine. 1t seems to have had
the individual sympathies of large portion
of the grangers who assembled at Indianap-
oils at the time the call was issued; but how
far the members of this society throughout
the state will sympathize with the movement,
time alone can determine. If it meets the
appreciation of the grangers. as an organized
body. it will be a convention of great infiu-
ence and immense power for good.
THE STORY IN A NUTSHELL.
(From the Hancock Democrat.)
One day last week. the Indianapolis Senti-
mel published call for a reform state con-
vention, to meet at indianapolis on the 10th
day of June, 1874. This fell upon the politi-
cal atmosphere at indianapolis like clap of
thunder from clear sky, and straightway
the faithful of the radical party began a
howl, the like of which has not been heard
for many years. The Journal denounced it
as forgery and fraud upon the grangers,
and said it was an emanation from Hancock
counGy. The thumb screws of the
party were applied, and the denial
from the business agents of the Oranges,
who were in session in the capital city,
offered little consolation to the outraged
feelings of the Journal and the lesser lights
of radicalism lowering around the organ of
the "forty thieves" in Washington. The
press of the state. in noticing the call, have
various opinions. Some think it good; but
many of them, mostly of the radical stripe,
re-echo the charge Of the Journal that 1t is
a fraud on the the grangers and forgery

THE PEOPLE WILL.
From the Newcastle Times)

A call for a mass meeting of the citizens
of Indiana to meet at indianapolis on the
10th of June, is being circulated in this
county. 1t is altogether probable that the
convention will meet at the time indicated
in the call, and that there will be ticket
nominated. The organs of both parties are
raising a hideous howl in opposition to the
movement just now, but the people will act
for themselves in the matter.

WHO WILL CAPTURE.

The grangers of the State are to have a
convention at Indianapolis on the 10th of
June, and will their decide as to the policy
they will adopt toward existing political
parties. We are glad to notice every evil
dence that the people are moving in the
matter of their own political action, and we
hope that the grange influence in this state
will be wisely used to benefit all classes of
our people. We have no doubt there will
be an effort on the part of mere politicians
to capture this large body of voters; but we
have faith in the intelli gence of the Order of
Patrons, and do not think they viii be led
by any gang of politicians: On the contrary,
will be captured by this grange movement
and dicharged on parole.

Remedy for Poison by Nv,

1t seems to me that / read all kinds
of cures for ivy poison except the right
one. / have always endeavored to keep
it before the public, but have failed. 1t
is to dissolve sugar of lead, a bit the
size of hazelnut, in half a teacup of
sweet milk or warm water. Apply
warm as can be borne easily with soft,
Unity piece of linen rag. Three or four
applications are sufficient TO effect a
cure. If the poison is on the face and
nearing the eyes or mouth, this as
tringent wash may be constantly APP
piled.
1t is a marvellous cure, and by watch
ing closely one can see the fevered bis
tiers turn from Witty to yellow during
the application. This remedy for ivy
poison should prevent a great deal of
suffering. 1t is well where u member
of family is easily poisoned, to keep
sugar of lead in the house all the time.

be found the moment il is wanted.
Keep it we'll wrapped up that it may

Best Organs on Most Favorable Terms,

The Company have now added large

works, and design to greatly increase
their business. This they propose to
do by offering organs for time pay
ments, or for rent with privilege of pur-
chase, at barely sufficient advance on
the cash prices to afford a reasonable
interest for the time. An organ may
be hired by the quarter with privilege
of purchase at any time in one year or
longer. Ii purchased within the year,
the whole cost, including rent paid, is
only five to ten per cent. more than if

lIulching.

2. L. Quinn prefers turnip tops to
any other material for mulching straw
berries. Many years since / abandon
ed the use of tan-bark for mulching
strawberries, because in the first place
it was too expensive, and secondly,
was annoyed by the aftergrowth of sor-
rel, which gave us considerable trouble
to eradicate. Again, while cut straw
will answer a good purpose as a sum-
mer mulch, for winter protection of
strawberry plants it certainly does not
come up to the standard When the
ground is not covered with snow, with
an occasional strong wind, cut straw is
blown about every which way. leaving
the plants uncovered. In my expert
ence long straw or fine soft hay are in
tinitely superior for winter mulching to
either tan-bark or cut straw. Turnip
tops are sure to remain in place through
all kinds of weather, until removed by
hand toward spring, and to those who
have such material the experiment is
worth a trial. -HOrticuLturist.

Rubber Cement.

There are several kinds of India rub
Der cement. The best known is "ma-
rine glue. A cheaper cement, and
one that is highly recommended, is
made by cutting a quantity of pure In
dia rubber-in its natural state-lnto
small pieces, putting them in wide
mouthed bottle, and filling it about
half full of the purest benzine; the
rubber will swell up almost immedi-
ately, and if well shaken will, in few
days, assume the consistency of honey.
If the rubber does not dissolve. add
more benzine. If, when dissolved. the
cement is too thin, add more gum. A
piece of rubber one inch in diameter
will make pint of cement. This dries
i'll few minutes and is very useful in
uniting pieces of leather, as it is both
elastic and durable.
