Mrs. Palmer, one of the Beecher witnesses
in the scandal suit. said she could see spirits
floating around the court room, but could
not determine their character. They GER
tainly were not good aud pure spirits, else
they would not have been caught loafing
around in that atmosphere.
The Mobile Register dissents from
Semmes' advice that Alabama refuse to be
represented at Philadelphia, and adds: "Far
better, it seems to us, would it be to stand
shoulder with them, to continue the battle
not yet over for restoration of the Union
upon the basis of co-equal states, and for an
obiiteration OF bitterness and animosities
which strike blindly at friends and foes
alike"
f. G. Breariy, assistant attorney general
of the United States, and Miss Emma C.
Black, of Davenport. Iowa, were married at
Rock Island Arsenal on the evening of the
26Lh inst. Great disappointment was caused
bY the quietness Of the affair. The Chicago
Times special says that friends of the young
lady were making preparation Tor fashion,
able wedding, to take place next month.
The BRIDES trousseau was ordered from
Paris, and the elite OF Davenport were max
ing every preparation to attend what they
supposed would be the grandest affair of
their lives; but the bride and groom, dis
liking ostentation, concluded while out rid
ing that day, to get married quietly, as
above stated.
The soothing editor of the Chicago Times
thus treats one of the most solemn events
recorded the history of Indiana, sacred or
secular: Dan Voorhees, has foresworn the
world, the flesh and the Notwithstanding
Indiana bourbonism-and joined the church.
The defeat of his senatorial aspirations last
winter has satisfied Dan that this world is
all fleeting show, and he has begun cleo
pioneering Tor any of the soft things that
may be lying around loose on the other side
OF Jordan. He received the lite of confrma
ton in the Episcopal Church at Terre
Haute, yesterday, In company with Bayless
w. Hanna, another of the Indiana hard
shells, not unknown to fame. The feelings
of the officiating bishop on this occasion
were, perhaps, not wholly unlike those of
the New England psrson who, on Sunday,
after the "Great Expounder" had delivered
his famous 9TH of March pro-slavery speech,
prayed, with more ferveDcy than faith,

The Starke County Ledger gives timely
word Of counsel to the farmers of that region
in regard to enforcing the game law the
coming season. 1t urges the formation OF
organizations for the purpose OF watching
and prosecuting for violations of the law.
Experience proves distinctly that without
organization little or nothing win be done
to prevent the wholesale, premature
and murderous destruction OfyOung prairie
chickens this year the same as in the past.
The statute prohibits the killing o! any
prairie chickens until after the 18th day OF
August, All true spOrtsmen and friends OF
the game, as we'll as ali honest and law
abiding citizens, desire to see the law COM
piled with, and that, too, without excep-
ton. It may be presumed that a
very large majority OF the peo-
ple will observe the restriction,
although nothing is more trying than to do
this when the reports of guns on the prairie
a week or two before the time, tell the story
that the hocks of young chickens are being
sacrificed by the few INSCRIPTIONS hunters
who follow the business of killing game for
the market, or the farmers themselves who
never fail to hunt before the time allowed by
law. In Starke county aud all the north part
of the state, the pot hunters for the
Chicago market come in like sWsrms o..
plunderers, for the very purpose of resping
The harvest of game which the law has pre-
served for them, but which they do not pro-
pose to regard. There are special Teasops
why the people of the country should form
the organizations proposed. Sportmen's
clubs in the cities do what they
can to enforce the law, but
there are peculiar obstacles in the
way of their good intentions. In the first
place they are not in a situation TO dstecs
the culprits till after the mischief IS done.
They may watch the markets and ship
nents, il is true, and possibly punish the
misdemeanor, but they can not prevent the
Killing. There is worse trouble than this.
AS before intimated, a large pant OF the
unlawful hunting is done by
the young farmers in the country,
most o. whom keep the best
of guns and bird dogs. and are among the
best shots OF the country. From tho mid
die Of July the Sundays are made rio;ous

the sportsmen's clubs undertake 70 prose

OUR BUSINESS INTERESTS.

The wonderful growth of Indianapolis
and its solid and substantial prosperity, it
is we'll known, is in large part due to the en-
ergy, nerve and business talent of its
wholesale merchants. Anticipating the
wants of the trade, they have always on
hand the finest stock that can be procured
in the country, which they somehow man
age to sell in quantities that the uninitiated
can hardly realize, and at prices which defy
foreign competition. These facts were very
forcihlv impressed upon us in recent con-
yersation with Mr.. J. Fl. Prier, one of the
most pluclxy and energetic of our wholesale
dealers in sgricultural implements and ma
chjnery. Very much TO our surprise, we
confess. we learned from him, when pressed
for figures, flor he is very modest about his
success), that he has sold since the LIST Of
February last, lin little less than three
months). over one hundred thousand dol

ghany Mountains And they are nearly ali
gentlemen who are afflicted with hard money

Il is not easy TO understand why the En-
ouirer keeps up its assault upon Mr.. Kerr.
That gentleman's admirers are confined to
no part of the country. His reputation
is national as the reputation OF
the future speaker of the House
OF Representatives ought to be. His friends
are to DO found on both sides of the Ale
ghsny Mountains, and thousands who are
afflicted with soft money on the brain re-
gard him with pride and confidence as one
of the foremost democrats of the country.
They may differ with him on one point, but
they ne gertheless trust thoroughly IN his
honor and ability. East and West he has
hosts of friends, and all the enemies that
it becomes every honest and aggressive
man to have. Neither will the South be apt
to forget that he was, during the gloomy re-
construction period, its boldest champion in
congress, when championship of the South
was by no means so easy and popular as it is
now. We are getting utterly sick OF the
stupid folly of the Enquirer. What would
the democrats of Ohio think OF this paper
If it should spend its time abusing and belly
ing Governor Allen or George II. Pendle-
ton, or some other leading representative
man of that state?

The European correspondents give gor'
geous descriptions of the visit of the En-
peror of Austria to Venice. 1t is thought
that bis kindly reception by Victor Eman-
4el has some deep political significance; but
to the ordinary observer his presence in
Venice was suggestive of other thoughts
then speculstions in regard TO
possible diplomatic intrigues. 1t
is but short time ago
that the Austrian held northern Italy under
his iron yoke, and the Bride of the Adriatic
sighed in foreign chains. Now, liberated
Venice turns out in holiday attire TO well
come her former tyrant, and sings the ma
tional anthem, scott erhalte Franz den
Kaiser" the sound of which she cursed so
heartily a short time ago. The pageantry Of
royal reception, it is said,
was more wonderful in Venice than
it could have been in any other city, for her
nobIest streets are paved with the waves Of
the sea. and her professions moved among
palaces in rich gondolas. The future OF
italy looks bright, and she stands
to-day perhaps more powerful among
the nations of Europe than st
any time since Rome fell, but for Venice
the past is more full of glory than the fU-
ture. Few cities of Europe have such a
grand record. She viii never sec an era
of such wealth and prosperity, az when she
received the carrying trade OF the east,
and distributed it TO the continent
when her gslleys ruled the inland seas,
and her ststecraft was felt in ell
the courts of Europe. United Italy may
have a grand destiny, but its people must
bestir themselves indeed If tney surpass the
achievements of the free cities OF the land
in art, literature, science and arms. The
nationality that absorbs Rome, and Venice,
and Florence, ought to play a prominent
part in the coming centuries.

Prof. Marsh, of Yale College, has let a
little side light in upon the management OF
Indian affairs. He was collecting fossils
and geological specimens in the Bad Lands
last tall, and in order to conciliate the
Indians in that vicinity he gave feast to
Red Cloud and his companions. The great
Sioux chief made bitter complaint
of the style in which the Indian agents
were cheating bis people. He said
that the president had promised many
fine things when the chiefs were last in
Washington. but nothing had been done to
protect his people. Prof. Marsh, in order to
retain the good will of the Indians, prom
ised to represent their hardships to Presi-
dent Grsut, and took from Red Cloud speci-
mems of the kind of -four, coffee, tobacco and
sugar that the agent was serving out to his
tribe. The professor, being like most schol-
srs, man of his word, took occasion on
his first visit TO Washington, to ex-
hibit to the proper authorities the goods
which paternal government bent on civil
izing the untutored savage, is distributing.
A Tribune dispatch gives the result: "The
commissioner admitted that the flour was
very bad, but said that IL was not sample
of that now issued, but of some that was
issued several years ago, and which was so
poor that the ponies would not eat it. He
said also that Red Cloud must have picked
sout the black beans of the coffee;
{ that the sample of sugar had been wet, and
that the tobacco, which was execrable, must
'be some issued at some former time"
If the Indians attain Christianity on such
6 diet, it is plain that the old-tasbioned
style OF getting religion by modification and
fasting is very effective one. The itinerant
geologist told the commissioner that the
agent was not, judging from personal OBJ
servation, fit man for his position. but the
commissioner philosophically remarked that
be was good enough for the wages he was
getting.

any private grounds to hunt
at any time. The citizens of the country, If
organized, can manage this whole matter
with comparative success. They can guard
the hunting grounds and expel intruders
before they have done their work. Again.
they can with propriety restrain each other
from the wrong, and keep their own young
men out of the field on Sundays and
other days for the last three or
four weeks of restriction. In TACT,
if farmers organizations were made
in every county where prairie chickens are
hunted, it would create a prevailing senti-
ment which would sustain the law and its
rigid enforcement. But, as before stated,
without concerted action nothing can be
done. It is not very pleasant for any single
individual to array himself as the police
man of the field to interfere with his neigh
bors. Indeed, he can not do it. But If all
unite, it then protects each one from
odium ard makes the thing easy. The
destruction of the prairie chicken, which,
under the present reckless practices. prom
ises determination, is a serious evil, which
has of late attracted much attention and
called out severe comment. The statute
permits the raid to begin quite as early as is
consistent with the escape Of any. Before
that date, and while the halt grown birds
are yet following the mother 10
broods, with a good dog to
bring them out, there is no chance
for any to escape. Such havoc is only
equalled by the murderous work of the win
ter when the SHOWS have driven them to
cover in the corn fields or on the fences. 1t
is pertinently suggested that the grangers,
already prepared for concert of action, may
do excellent service in assisting the enforce
ment of the game law, which would entitle
them to the gratitude of all.
