THE CHANGERS OF INDIANA.

The Cleveland Leader says,
the Grangers of Indiana are not
disheartened by the failure which
our Granger Legislature has made
to rid our State capital of corrup-
ton. They think they will do
better in their state, where they
declare that great reforms are
needed. They have called a con
vention for the 10th of June,
whose great work will be to re-
lieve the state of the burdens of
taxation and misrules. OF course
these good men will accomplish
their object, as they have in our
own state and elsewhere. Like
all Utepian schemers for the i'm
mediate banishment of wrong,
they will succeed. In their State
Legislature they will be more
largely represented than any 9th
er class of society. Like their
brsthern in Columbus, they will
turn a deaf ear to the entreaties
of such politicians as Haag,Eshel-
men, Beach, Bell, Andrews, John
&. Thompson ct al. They will
transact all their business in
about six weeks, then adjourn
and return quietly to their plows
just as they have done in Ohio.

MINISTER TO CHINA.

Mr.. Benjamin B. Avery, nom
mated as Minister to China, to
fill the vacancy caused by the res
ignation of Mr.. Low. is ajournal
ist of fine culture and reputation.
He has been for many years
prominently connected with the
press of San Francisco and is at
present editor of the Overland
Monthly. He is also secretary
of the Pacific Division of the
Centennial Commission, and
was nominated for the Chinese
mission at the suggestion of SEN
ator Sargent, the President rec
ognizing. the fact that the ap-
pointment belonged to the Pacif-
ic coast. Mr.. George F. Seward,
of New York, consul at Shanghai
was a prominent candidate fol
the position, but his eastern res
idence in this country operated
against his success. 1t is to be
hoped that Mr.. Avery has not
imbibed to any extent the pecu-
liar California idea ofthe Chinee
as a man and brother.

EMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH.

The Irish Citizen has an in
teresting appeal in favor of the
south as an inviting field for en-
igrants in preference to the west.
1t is suggested by an interview
with Hon. Samuel Sloan, Presi-
dent of the Delaware, ,Lackawana
and Western Railroad, who was
a member of the recent south
ern excursion party, and has be
come an enthusiastic advocate
of southern emigration. The
Citizen concludes: HOne spec
ial fact we CLEAN from Mr.. Sloan
-one of deep Importance to those
directing the course of emigrants
in this country. We knew the
field was wide and large, but the
advantages presented in the best
of Southern States seem greatly
in advance of anything offered
in the west. The lands in Vir
ginia and Tennessee-the uplands
of Georgia and South Carolina
are of excellent farming quail
ty. They can be worked at much
less cost than land in the west; !;
cattle can be fed cheaper the
climate is more salubrious.; the
winter short, so that all the farm
er can raise need not be expend-
ed in feeding his stock. Then
these lands can be bought at, a
very low figure, and the settler,
whether he comes from the. At
lantic or the Eastern States, or
the Western, is sure of a hearty
welcome. Good men are need
ed, and the inhabitants will hail
them with good will hospitality.
The settler can take his position
the moment he plants his foot
upon the ground and nothing is
needed to insure competency
and success save integrity and
honesty. Half the industry and
energy expended in New Jersey
Or the west would give superior
personal comfort and insure for
tune to a farmer in the now idle
lands of the States alluded to-
We understand some organized
effort will soon be made to di-
rect enterprise and industry to
this quarter. 1t is good move
and we shall have more to say on
the subject" f5d ri5f'

Horrors of the lndis r famine.

Although at latest accounts the
efforts of the British authorities
to relieve the sufferers from the
famine in India were diminishing
the distress very materially, an
immense amount of suffering still
existed. The defective means OF
transportation prevented speedy
relief in many cases. The London
Times correspondent, writing
from Calcutta, February 9th
says: .y re- r.,u
The fields are literally burned
up, and the people are coming
ON the roads in thousands. The
higher castles are coming on, too,
very much. There is no rain, the
sky is bright and clear, and prices
are gradually creeping higher
The people are cutting the stand
ing crop and giving it to their
bullocks:: An old man.. so, years
old. told me the other day that
he had never seen such gloomy
prospect. Things are really be
coming serious. l am very much
afraid, despite the exertions of
the Government, that ten per
cent. of the population will die Of
starvation before October next.
One of my correspondents des-
cribes the state of the country
from Mudhobanee. The crops
were burned up everywhere save
in a few patches on the banks of
the rivers, where they were stun
ted. These long and wide stretch
ing sand banks in the Ganges
Gunduk, and Bagmuttee, which
in ordinanary seasons afford food
to a large population, were bare.
When the last rain came the pea
SAINTS fastened to SOW peas and
millet, believing that the worst
was past, and expecting to secure
extraordinary returns, as well as
to save the little spring crop left.
Alas, it was in vain; the rain has
not made weeks difference to
the people. Fifty per cent. of
them must sooner or later come
on the relief works, according to
the official estimate, and it is
feared that the number of aclose
upon 1000, 1000 OF people" in
North Tirhoot alone may be ex-
ceeded. Contracts have been
made for the transport of 7,400
tons a week into the northeastern
corner of Tirh0et alone. - rf,.i

WOMEN IN OCCUPATION.

The English census of 1871,
the general report of which is
just published, shows that 3, 1853,
9S1 women of the age of fifteen
and upwards are engaged in some
employment. This number does
not include married women, OF
whom there are about 100000
in Great Britain. In 1851 the
number of women returned as
engaged in occupations was q
$4,000. There has been an in
crease of 30 per cent. IN twenty
years, whereas the general in
crease has been but 21 per cent.

TRADE FOR BOYS.
The Salaries Of Clerks.

A correspondent of a New York
paper, writing on the subject of
s'Tradesfor boys,n gives his own
experience In reply to the complaint
of a clerk, who receives only $12
per week, and his wife and family
to support. He says: cat six
teen / entered printing office and
worked through the various grades
to journeyman; at twenty-one / had
saved 81, 900 out of my wages, and
with a fellow-workman. with a simi-
lar amount, started business. After
eight years of steady work, we are
able to draw $4,000 a year each from
the business and have ST. 9, 900 worth
Of machinery and material all paid
for. If l had followed the example
of the boys who left school when 1
did, whose cereer / have been able
to trace, 1 might have been enjoy
ing $12 clerkship." There is moth
ing remarkable in this experience
except that too few of the young
men of to-day can point to such a
record. The path is open to all;
but few have the resolution and pa
thence required to tread in it. But
although every mechanic does not
save money enough to start in busi-.
ness for himself, they all have trades
that are not likely to become, so
much oyercrowded as the oceupar
tion of clerks, book-keepers, office
attendants, copyists and salesmen.
Hence they generally obtain qcork
scith little difficulty at good and
sometimes high acages. The market
for labor Of all kinds is under the
same unwritten laUs as the market
for food; ,chile there are fifty appli-
cants for each vacant clerkship, the
acages Of clerks acill be loU, and so
loW that little money can be saved
for the Improvement of the clerks
condition in life. And the supposa
ed responsibility" OF the calling,as
compared scith that of mechanic,
can scarcely compensate any. one for
the loss of such opportunities for
advancement in life as are opon to
all industrious skilled mechanics

Perjury,

One of the wcrst crimes of the
present day-one that under
mines the. very foundation of the
temple of Justice and ofall gov
ernment, and one which is per
haps, least punished, is that Of
perjury. And in no one thing is
the perjurer so often employed,
as in shielding the liquor seller.
Is it not time that those who are
charged with the enforcement OF
the law should make examples OF
few of those who peUure them
selves to shield the men who sell
them their daily, dram?

A VARIATION.

The praying ladies' of Cincin-
matt have somewhat deviated
from the original idea of praying
only for drunkards and liquor
dealers. At one of their meet
ings last week, they offered very
earnest prayers for the soul OF
Archbishop Purcell. How comes
it that His Reverence has i'm
pressed these ladies with the be
lief that he stands in need of their
prayers?

THE SPANISH COURTS.
What Miss Kate, Field Saw.

q
Miss Kate Field, the vivacious and
adventurous, has visited the Span
ish Cortes, and this is what she
saw: .......,-,.
There is nothing remarkable about
the Spanish Cortes. Plain exter-
nally, it has numerous well furnish
ed committee rooms, containing
modern portraits and paintings of
no artistic value, while its Chamber
of Deputies, arranged like an am
phitheatre, is remarkable for moth
/ ing but its deeds. The Bourbon
crown and the Queens portrait have
been removed, but the great doors
by which her Majesty used to enter
have never been thrown open to the
President. The odor Of royalty still
clings to the Cortes. "Are you a
well behaved bodyY / asked. The
good -natured deputy smiled, and the
amiable sonora replied: "Well be-
haved? They act like children
They exercise no self control. You
never in your life heard such a noise
as they make. And then how they
use up carpets! Spit! spit! spit :
They are forever splitting; and what
would happen to woman's skirts
if she came upon the floor, leave
you to imagine" did the rain of
expectoration set in with the rain
of the republic?" "Oh, no. 1t has
always been. l see no difference" !"
Here was revelation. The noble
art of splitting is not confined to the
Western Hemisphere. 1t is not pc
culiar to republican institutions. 1

A Race of Men Who Have Not yetlearn-
ed to talk.

On the Island of Borneo has
been found a certain race of wild
creatures,of which kindred varie-
ties have been discovered in the
Philippine Islands, Terra del Fue-
go, and in South America. They
walk usually almost erection two
legs, and in that attitude measure
about four feet in height. They
construct no habitations, form no
families, scarcely associate to-
gether, sleep in caves, feed on
snakes and vermin, on ant eggs,
and on each other. They cannot
be tanned or forced to any labor,
and are hunted and shot among
the trees like the great gorilla,of
which they are stunted copy.
When captured alive one finds
with surprise that their uncouth,
jabbering sounds are like articu-
late language. They turn up a
human face to gaze at their cap
tors, and females show instincts
of modesty. In fine, these wretch
ed beings are men and women!-

ANOTHER BALLOON EXPEDITION

The failure of all North Pole Ex-
peditiOns to discover the secret of
the Arctic regions has stimulated the
Aeronautic Society, of Paris, to at
tempt an Arctic balloon VOYAGE
Extravagapt than Professor Wise's
project of crossing the Atlantic
Ocean in a balloon. One advantage
of an aerial North Pole Voyage is
the temperature of the Arctic re-
gions, which prevents the escape of
gas from the balloon to such a de-
gree that it is supposed to be quite
feasible to construct a balloon which
will last three months voyage
Another advantage is the absence
of darkness in the Northern regions
If the balloon leaves in the summer
time the sun will illuminate the hea-
vens during the whole trip. Then,
again, the permanency in the direc-
ton of the arinds around the re-
giOns of the North Pole would be
another point in favor of the trip to
the North Pole over that across the
Atlantic. The size Of the proposed
balloon is fixed at about 5000 Gu
bic metres. 1t is calculated to car
ry ten men, three months provis-
.sions, apart from the ballast,a num-
Der of instruments, an anchor and
a dragging rope, which will touch the
ground should;the bolloon sink too
near to the earth. An ingenious ar
rangement has also been made to
prevent the balloon from raising
higher than 800 metres, or about O.
500 feet. The boat of the balloon
is to be lined with sheep skins and
heated with lamps, so that even if
the temperature should fall to 80 de-
grees below zero, inside. A vessel
is to carry the men, the balloon, ,and
the ingredients for the manufacture
Of the necessary amount of gas to
about the II degree of latitude
This will leave trip of about 800
miles to the North Pole for the bal
loon to accomplish, and the voyage
there and back could be made with
in twenty days. Every thing how
ever, is to be prepared for a full
three months trip. The enterprise
is exciting unusual interest among
the scientific menof Europe, and is,
indeed, one of the most wonderful
schemes ever conceived by the hu-
man mind. d sa .-aa re .t i-ta .s

A Hard Joke on the 0Iathe Fortune Hun
ters.

On IastTuesday the Times pub
lished an extra containing tele-
grams from the Louisville lottery
announcing the numbers of the
tickets drawing the capital prizes
Some of the extras found their
way 10 Olathe Kansas. There
some wicked wag, remembering
that the following day was sAll
Fools day, conceived the idea of
playing a practical joke on the
devotees of Fortune of that burg,
who were holding tickets in the
Louisville lottery. He took a
copy of theTimes extra to a print
ing Office and a large numbers to
the coupons held in Clathe. These
were distributed through the
town. The number 3,02S was
published as drawing the $4,000
prize. This ticket was held by a
club of ten persons. It was soon
discovered by one of those inter-
estsd;the coupon was brouht forth
and, mara5ile dictu, there was
the No. 2,02S as drawing $4,000.
The club was Immediately called
together. The scene can better
be imagined than described. Each
member. supposed himself the
possessor of $500 (no trifling
sum these hard times.) They
laughed,almost cried. They shook
hands and embraced each other.
They began speculating as to
what use they should put their
suddenly acquired wealth. Some
proposed to erect elegant mans
ions; others would take a trip to
Europe. Visions of luxury and
ease danced before them, and just
while in the midst of their rejoic-
ing and hilarity, anunfeeling
wretch shouted" ,"April fool! April
foell The effect beggars descrip
ton. Indescribable blankness sat
upon every countenance. From
the mountain top of worldly hon
or and bliss at one dash they fell
into the valley of hopeless power
