The room is large. The carpet

S24S. In June, 1873, new carpets were put
down in the consultation room and in the
judges chambers or rooms, the old carpets
being worn out and unfit for further use.
That in the consultation room cost entire
$40 20. The carpets in the judges cham
bers, or rooms, cost 81 so per YARD. 1t re-

5. The library is one of the most extern
sive and complete in the west. The books
are valued ct from S65, 900 to S75 900. The
judges have power by law to purchs sc
books for it and to exchange Indiana
Reports, of which the state has surplus
copies, for other books for the library. By
these exchanges and by the sale OF our
reports the library has been largely in
creased without the expenditure of much
money by the present judges. The
reports of this court are sent to other states
in exchange for the reports of such other
states. the library has 60 increased that
one side of the consultation room as been
shelved at considerable expense, and Is
used as q part of the library. The court
has kept the library insured Tor an amount
near it's estimated value. o.

designed to give the returning hero,
Whose deeds are recorded in 9th Indiana,
page 1s4,) sringing send off. It win take
something of the sort to get him as hot as
q lime kiln. ~
The Sentinel readily anticipates the
scenes in the Academy tonight. There will
be few cannon shots to call the faithful
together, and at the same time remind the
hero of his war exploits with the fearless
ram Horner. Then under martial strains,
that the hero loves, the meeting will assem-
bic. The sole proprietor will emerge
from behind the scenes, where he has
e1vertly entertained Mr.. Orth with
a bowl of buttermilk, and, as
his reputation as q presiding officer
has been below par since the indignation
meeting, he will only be permitted to name
some one else 10 preside, who will step to
the front and explain why Mr.. Orth was
detained at Washington so long, and why
he Is not now just as hot as Hme-kilp.
After some explanation of how all the
Western states instructing for B'aine will
render Morton's nomination at Cincinnati
certain, and how this exactly fixes the Oc-
tober contest in Indians, the hero of the
evening will be introduced. He will
not refer to his past history as widow
attorney; nor his record as the arch-ruler
OF the dsrk-lantern party; nor to Venezuela
bonds but poor Ben Hill will be riddled,
the bloody shirt will wave, Morton will
be extoIled, and the Republican party up
held as the savers of the country, after the
fashion of Robin Hood. He will compli-
ment the Republican party of the city for
their fraudulent success, which was
achieved through riot and blood, as it will
remind him of the bloody Monday at
Louisville during the era of his former
glory In 1856. There will then be
some cheering, and thus will the ram Hor
ner hero commence his campaign.
1t is not just the sort of send-of a fss-
tidious person would like. We trust that
our German friends OF tbs press will sse
that there is proper report forwarded to
Vienna, to be reproduced in the same pa
psrs that recorded his farewell banquet
there. It would prove interesting reading
to those who thought he came home to be
governor OF Indiana.

The General Fund" letters 10 the S'nti-
mel are opening the eyes o: the people OF
this state, and the press of other states are
looking on sghsst at the reckless robbery
of the people here during Morton's adj
ministrstion. The specious covering Of
loyalty by which this treason to trust was
covered up is no longer sufficient excuse
for such fragrant crime, and the indigna-
ton of the people will be clearly manifest
whenever an opportunity at the ballot
box is afforded.

The Chicago Tribune bristles over the
action of the Illinois Republican Conven-
ton instructipg for Blaine, but sets out
the Astonishing fact that Morton is making
q tool of "the pertinscious young man"
from Maine, and that at the proper time
that individual will be disposed of in the
interest of the apostle of hate. The Bris-
tow men die hard, but it was hardly to be
expected that they would become ira
tional in the death struggle.

A BRboOn Mother

Mr.. Hazely's African Lectures.I
A woman belonging to a settle
ment of about one hundred and
fifty souls went one day to gather
some wood, and left her child on
the ground to take care of itself.
While the mother was gone a fe-
male baboon appeared on the
scene, and espying the child APP
preached and began to fondle it.
The child was allowed to partake
of the baboon's milk, which de-
priyed it of any appetite for its
mothers. When the mother re-
turned she noticed that the child
was carefully covered over with
leaves and had lost its hunger.
This was done for several days be-
fore the mother ascertained who
performed the unthankful act.
When the mother did find out the
doer she induced the men of her
tribe to lie in wait for the baboOn
the next day. The animal noticed
the men raise their weapons to fire,
and began to wave her hand, or
paw, as if asking them not to kill
her, and, at the same time, pointed
to a young one at her breast. But
the natives killed her. No sooner
had they done so, however, than
the male balloon put in its appear
ance, and, by a loud shout, sum
moned others Of his tribe to the
spot. Then, in a body, the animals
attacked the natives and forced
them to flee to their huts for safety.
One Of the balloons tracked them
to their settlement, and the next
day they were visited by about five
hundred balloons, who assaulted
them with cocoanuts and compelled
them to run away from their
homes. The animals kept a watch
over the huts for several days and
prevented the natives from return
ing to their dwellings.
