That fruitful theme, the English style Of
rsilway carriages, has been the cause oil
another sensation. 1t will be remembered
that not many years ago gentleman was
murder and robbed in one of these car
riages. md the fact was not discovered until
a station was reached and the guard came
around, the murderer having in the mean
time escaped. This time the circumstances
were not so tragical but far more scandal
ous. Col. Valentine Baker, commander OF
che Prince of wales's own Hussar regiment
has been arrested, charged by young lady,
who CHANGED to be alone in the same car
riage with his magnifcence, with making
an aggravated assault upon her. She con-
trived to get out of the door and stood upon
the knife board outside, in the meantime
eIingipe to the window easement and
screaming for help. Thus she rode for five
miles, when the train stopped, assistance
arrived and the distinguished warrior, who
had loved not wisely but too well, was
taken under the guardianship OF the func-
tionaries. He was afterward dragged be-
fore tribunal and placed under five hun
(fred pounds bail. These carriages have
frequently been made means OF levying
bIackmsil, but this case appears different
and il looks as if the gallant warrior was in
a very bad hx.

II is very poor business to be engaged at
this period of history to stir up religious an
imosities. He who does it can mol be re-
parded as friend to society. With all the
denlorable examples of the past on the re
cord wherein men have hated and quar-
ralIed- nations warred and slaughtered, all
about some tenet of belief which Is now
considered of no importance, IL would seem
that 8 good intention as well as good sense
would consent to let those prohtless contro-
versies rest forever. There is no other sub
iect about which men are so bitter IN
their differences, none other concerning
which they set up claims so unreasonable

and killing on account OF religion. Ii Is
time to stop. If it were fact that the pub

pie die for want of breath, so the Evansville
Herald died for want of money, which is the
breath of life to newspaper. Within few
years past the business OF journalism has
become very attractive, and crowds of peo-
pie, both men and women, desire to rush
into it. The recognition given to the press
by all csllings, the undeniable part which
it bears in determining the welfare of So
ciety, the absolute necessity of it
to the times and methods OF
a generation when information is
required to be simultaneous and universal:
all these have established the journalist in a
place as honorable, useful and fascinating as
any of the learned professions. The result
is great many efforts under disadvantages,
Just the same as in other professions. One
or two principles in regard to starting news
papers may be carefully studied with
profit. First, it is bad chance to
attempt to build the foundations
of journal on any single idea or hobby.
The Herald laid its first stone on the indi-
vidual idea of labor element. 1t makes
no difference what the hobby is, labor,
temperance, fraternity, the base is too mar
row. Before the journal gets up very high
it will topple over. Even religious and
agricultural specialties are insufficient
to ensure life without widening the
range into the field of general
topics. Another fallacy is to start in on the
outer edge of well defined and well occu-
pied newspaper field, md undertake to cut
a way to the center without sufficient forces.
1t is a fight, and however able the general
ship may be, it is a hopeless undertaking
without the sinews of war. This fact is be-
ing rapidly developed by experim ents which
save the trouble of any other argument.
There are two things that it is unwise for a
man to attempt merely because be would be
glad to achieve them. One is to start an
opposition postoffice in town which has
one, and the other to foist a newspaper
upon a public which is already well sup
Piled with better article than the new en-
.erprise is able to offer.

If men desire to give their estates to othel
parties than their legal heirs, the only sure
way to do it is to make the transfer and dis
seizs themselves while living. A case di-
rectIy in poin. has lately occurred just over
the state line in ,Vermilion county, Illinois.
Stephen Griffith, one of the three pioneers oil
Indiana and Illinois, a regular Old
bush-rider, and in his early days
a pretty hard case, as the saying is, hnally
settled down in the county above named
and secured large amounts of the best lands
and became quite wealthy. Among other
good things which he got in his later years
one was religion. He became very pious,
and like Ahab of old, he developed a
vast amount of zeal for the Lord.
His piety did not, however, prevent his
auarreling like an old bear with his chill
iren and all his relations. He disinherited
the whole crowd and provided by will for
she distribution of his estate to
various ecclesiastical and charita-
BILE concerns, which while it
heIped to settle up the old scores of
youthful delinquencies, cheated his heirs
out of his property, and also gave him the
name and reputation of a philsnthropist,
thus killing three birds with one stone.
stephen passed away, and now lies in a con-
dition very similar to that Of Old John
Brown, but his plans and purposes while
living are not marching on. They
have been suddenly thwsrted. Last
saturday the United States court at Spring
aeld, Illinois, decided that the viii of
stephen Griffith was not good in law, and
that the estate should go % the rightful
heirs. Judge Elias S. Terry, formerly OF
Dsviess county in this state and one OF the
best lawyers Indiana ever permitted to get
out of the state, conducted this successful
piece of litigation.

When a man has stood so long and so
honorably before the public as DR.. Theodore
Woolsey, ex president of Yale College, a
singular importance attaches to his declara-
tions. This great thinker is now "A years
old. He has stood for half a century a pro-
found philosophical spectator of the national
history, and contrary to the habit of many
literary men in similar positions, he has
ever studied politics as one of the
highest pursuits of the patriot
and christian. Now, each of his formal ad-
dresses falls upon the ears of his sincere adj
mirers with the solemnity of parting words,
and the last recorded judgments of a truly
great man. With this impression his late
address before the Phi Beta Kappa Society
at Cambridge, is receiving a wide cir
culation by the press. 1t Is reason
able to presume that DIR. Woolsey
himself in coming before one of the most
dignifed and learned organizations of the
country, would select topic which was, in
his mind, OF supreme import. He chose to
speak Of "Honor in Political Life," and his
profound philosophical discussion of the
subject contains lesson exceedingly OPP
perfume, as it was, no doubt, suggested by

The cigar makers of the whole country
against the new plan for collecting revenue
known as the coupon system. BY this new
patent JOB it is proposed that each cigar
shall have affixed to il small paper stamp.
On Friday last the manufacturers OF New
York held meeting, and unanimously
adopted an address to the commissioner of
internal revenue demonstrating against the
new regulation. The address answers ez-
plicitly and categorically the interrogatories
of the commissioner: First, whether the tax
on cigars can be more closely col
lected by this plan. The cigar makers
reply emphaticslly, no. They give their
decided opinion that the uncollected tax on
cigars does not exceed five per cent, and that
it can not, by any other method, be more
closely collected. To the suggestion that a
compensation might be found for stamping
cigars in using old boxes over again, that is
also emphatically denied. The recovery and
repairs of old boxes would cost nearly as
much as new boxes. In regard to imported
cigars, the proposition to have stamps
brought and sent to foreign manufacturers
to be affixed, tits replied that foreign cigars
are purchased On the open market, and this
requirement of stamping cigars would shut
up the American market. A long list of
formidable objections to stamping each
cigar is presented, including the following:
Any system Of attaching a stamp to each cigar
would involve very considerable expense,
which would have to be borne alone by the
ANN fQQ f1a m oil

would not be practicable to stamp pressed CIGARS;
compelled to smoke the paper stamp, injuring
very seriously the flavor of the cigar. or be re-
damage the wrapper or destroy the cigar. Firms
employing a large number Of hands would be
entirely at the mercy of their employees. who
coupons, or might steal the coupons, and might
might place cigars without coupons in the boxes
The firm could BOT prevent these, as it would be
before leaving the factory to ascertain whether
each cigar had the proser coupon attached.
The requirement of every manufacturer to
give bond is also a subject OF well grounded
remonstrance, as the business OF making 81
CARS has of late become widely extended,
and many partiesare engaged in it who are
perfectly honest and good for the revenue
tax, yet they would not not be able to find
bondsmen for business that would be so
liable TO bscome involved in oompli-
cations with government officials
On the whole. It does seem that the manu-
lecturers have clear cause of loud CON-
plant, such as the revenue department
cannot afford to disregard. 1t is understood
that the new plan has a job behind it tor
which the pressure is very strong. If SO,
there is the greater reason why large and
important industry should be heard and re-
lievsd from unnecessary hzrdships. There
win be nothing gained by expressing any
class engaged in legitimate business for any
reason, least of all for nursing some corrapt
job In the form of patent right.

proye of the United States at all, and chsrac-
terizes the little unpleasantness of one hun
dred years ago as "the most unprovoked re-
bellion in history" aud an 'insane rebel
Iiou." 1t is too bad that the poor Standard
fellow feels so badly about IL
and unless he will come over
10 the centennial and take little some
&hing on it, one does not see exactly what
can be done to relieve him. His talents
