FROM MILTON.

Mr.. EDIToR,-Mack is furnishing
our people with nice, fresh fish. OF
course they furnish him with a cer-
tain kind of stamps.
Doctor Pennington has sold his in
terest in the Woolen Mill Store to C.
A. Hill, of Dublin, who intends moy-
ing here and taking charge of the
book keeping Of the establishment.
Stevensons Photographic chariot
from your city, arrived here week be.
fore last, and is located on Central
Avenue, affording fine opportunity
for "old and young folks" to get pic
lures of themselves and friends.
A loan and building association has
been formed here In which over 100
shares ofstock have been taken, at
the rate of two dollars per share,
which makes it look as though busi-
ness was intended. The town is great
ly in need of more buildings for resi-
dences, and yet private enterprise is
either too stingy, poor or scary to fur
nish them. 1t is believed this associa-
ton will supply this need.
We noticed a very large wagon load
of barrels and boxes standing in front
of Nudd & Booths grocery store, the
other day, and feeling little curious
at the sight we sounded some of them
and found them empty. The proprie-
tors, upon being questioned about it,
say that it only shows business, but
empty barrels now a days creates sus-
picions. and if the thing is repeated, it
may bring along a band of praying and
singing women.
The shiverie at Oh Johns infare,
on Tuesday night, of last week, was
quite spirited for few moments, but
ceased very suddenly Oh says that if
the noise made had not frightened the
bride from his to grandmother bed
he would have no complaint to make.
We understand the boys got no cake,
but furnished something in the way of
repairs.
The young ladies here have organi-
zed what they call. The young Ladies
Literary Club, that meets every Sat-
urday evening, and from which young
men are excluded both as members
and spectators. The exercises consist
of debates, lectures etc, and We hear
the eloquence of some of the speakers
spoken of as being very powerful. 1t is
understood that a motion will be made
and carried. at the next meeting of the
club, repeating the rule excluding
young men, and one adopted, inviting
them to be present as spectators, that
the eloquence there displayed may not
be altogether wasted on the desert air,
but have its proper effect where it is
most desired it should. This is COM
mendable and will no doubt secure a
large attendance of young gents,
dressed in their Sunday garbs.
Dayton Warren has opened a dry
goods store in the room formerly oc-
cupied by Allen r. Wallace. the latter
has moved his goods to indianapolis,
where his family has also gone.
The large new water wheel of the
Touring mill of j. Car & Bro, has
been placed In position, and in a few
days more, the company will be again
distributing its family -four to citizens
of this and surrounding towns.
Benjamin Fulghum and wife, of the
society of Friends had an appointed
meeting. for religious services At the
NJ. E. Church on Sunday evening last.
The attendance was large, and the
exercises impressive. Index.

In the vote upon the bill to Demo-

against this unnecessary expenditure

The world generally takes men at
their own apparent estimate of
themselves. Hence, modest men
never attain the same consideration
which busting, forward men do.
It has not time or patience to in
qure rigidly, and it Is partly i'm.
posed upon and carried away by
the man who vigorously claims its
regards. The world, also, never
has two leading ideas about any
man. There 10 always . remarkable
unity in its conception of the char
acters of individuals. If an histor
ical person has been cruel III a
single degree, he u set down as
cruel and nothing else, although he
may have had many good qualities,
all not equally conspicaous- II a
literary man IL industrious in a
remarkable degree, the world
speaks of him as only industrious,
though he may be also very inge-
nious.

VIM. B. Astor is eighty. He is
worth 800, ,OOO, 600, it is said. Most
of his property is in the city Of New
York. His name has not figured on
a subscription paper for the relief Of
the $4,000 poor in New York, this
winter. He will leave the world soon
as respectable. but relentless miser,
and if at his death his estate Is to be
cut up and distributed, the sooner
that event transpires the better will it
be.for the world.

The Indiana Editorial Excursion
to Baltimore, in the early part of May,
promises to be a grand affair for the
fraternity, and will doubtless be a

been made with the officers of the diff

and their wives to Baltimore and re-
turn at usual rates, the amount to be
paid in advertising. All Indiana edi-
tors together with their wives or
sweethearts are invited to attend.

Ere sorrow break its chain,
But this last streak just settled him
He never smiled again.

The District papers are abusing
Judge Wilson, of Ind, on the District
Committee, charging him with acting
as council for the memorialists. This
is of a piece with their denunciation
of all in Congress who assume that
there is ANYTHING wrong in District
matters With the exception of Stew
art and Hubbell, of Mich, the men,
bers of the District Committee are
acting with all the fairness possible
consistent with the theory that there
is anything to be found out. On the
contrary, the gentlemen named as ex-
ceptions, seldom ever ask question
not designed to aid the District au-
thorities or break down the witnesses
against it. Judge Wilson is necessa-
rily prominent as Chairman Of the
House branch, and is doing his whole
duty promptly and fearlessly, in spite
of the committees attempts to stop
him

DIR. William A. Hammond, of New
York City, has long been engaged in
the preparation of a work on the life
of Michael Servetus, the brave old
hereto who went to the stake through
the instrumentality of John Calvin.
Servetus was a distinguished physi-
clan, and came very near discovering
the circulation of the blood, which
subsequently, conferred immortality
u,,on Harvey Servetus denied the
proposition that Christ was the eter i.
nal Son of God, and for this tergiver-
sation was sent to the stake. As he
went to this barbarous execution, he
prayed as follows. Jesus, Son Of the
Eternal God, have mercy upon me!'
He was told by the priest who accom-
panied him, that if he would change
his form of invocation. and pray tn
Jesus, the eternal Son of God, his
life would be spared; but he stub
bornly refused, and was thereupon
burned to ashes. He was volum-
nous writer, chiefly on religious and
medical topics, sturdy old reformer,
far in advance of his times, whom the
fear of death couldn't bulge an inch
from his purposes or declared convic
tions. No life of Servetus, adapted to
the literary tastes of these days, has
ever been written, and DIR. Hammond
will unquestionably perform a noble
service, as we'll as labor of love, in
telling the story of his life at length,
and depicting him as he was.

nseful statistics:

ness exceeded 1886, 100000. The tan.
ming business in Massachusetts, was
only surpassed by New York and
Pennsylvania. In the currying busi,
ness, Massachusetts, was vastly ahcad
of all other States, employing more
than one-third Of the men, and cDgag.
ing more than one fourth of the CAPT,
