DECATUR. ILL.,, March 3l-Friday
evening Mrs. Jones Nye, who lives
six miles northwest of Decatur, was
riding toward home, having in a
spring wagon with herself her daugh-
er Kate, aged sixteen, Puss, aged
twelve. add young man by the
name of Robinson TO drive. A heavy
thunder shower prevailed at the time.
When one fourth of o mile from her
home a thunderbol, struck the wag-
on, proslrating the horses. throwing
Mrs Nye TO the ground ~senseless,
and killing the daughter Kate and
young Robinson instantly. The
younger daughter, who sat on the
seat between the mother and Kate,
escaped unharmed. The horses soon
revived and ran home, and Mr. Nye,
meeting them at the yard gate, i'm
mediarely got Into the wagon aud
drove to the scene of the terrible
disaster. where, placing both the
dead aud the living in the vehicle, be
took them to bis sad home. Mrs
|Nye, though suffering much from the
shock, will probably recover.

NKELECTED KYIL.

Potato lot, the vine disease, pleuro pneu-
mona, and other epidemIcs to which vegeta-
bles and cattle are subject, have by turns ex-
cited much attention. Legislative commit
tees have examined, and experts, at much
expense, have searched and analysed, and all
was done that cattle and cabbages might be
saved. In this county chills and fever are a
curse in some Of the most prolific lands We
have, compared with which grasshoppers and
pleuro-pueumonias are almost trivial. 1t is
bad to lose COW or a crop, but it is worse to
lose what makes the field and the stock
proitable-the heads that direct aud the
arms that toll, the farmer and his laborers.
These are stricken down, often in the time of
their busiest tolls. The fever seps their
strength, and emaciates their frames; bag
gard and helpless they lie the victims of the
mischievous "chills." How sad it is to see
the horse browsing in the pasture, the pillow
standing idle in the furrow, while the family
is perhaps deprived of comforts, because the
farmer lies powC ress, shorn of his
strength by "chills." The loss by
these caamities Is annually great,
there are districts where the land is i'm
mensely rch. yielding crops of wondrous
abundance, that are left almost uncultivated
because the "chllls' are prevalent there
Only here aud there a holow-eyed, yellow
skinned man, with limbs almost denuded of
flesh, Is to be seen stalking with listless step
among the profuse vegetation. Riches in
abundance are contained in the teemlng soil,
yet it lies waste and deserted because of the
''chills ''-miasmi, like a fend, casts its
deadly arms around all who try to settle
there, and keeps from mans industry the
most valuable lands in the country. Yet no
congressional committee, no scientific ex-
piorers, have undertaken to grapple with the
''chi!s,' as the potato beetle and grasshop-
per have been battled with. la Italy, Al
giers, and several other places and countries,
the eucalyptic tree has proved of vast
benent in banishiDg miasma, and render
ing the rich lowland accessible to Guilt
vatlon. Ia tins country, especially in the
southern portion, these trees might prove
as ethcacIous as they have done elsewhere, but
no effort has been made to introduce the ex.
pertinent. Had the loss by mlasma affected
COWS or cabbages something would have been
done; but because it is only man who suffers
man whose labor is curtailed and whose pros.
perity is interrupted, nothing has been at
tempted. Man is not a marketable commod-
ity. Viewing the question practically, in its

The protective system is doing immense
damage to our commerce. By that system
we are taxing out of access to our markets
the productions of people to whom we are
trying to sell our own productions. They
must admit our goods, but we will not admit
theirs, or if we do, only on payment of a
heavy duty. Take our neighbor, Canada, for
instance, as mentioned by the New York
Bulletin: "Whie we are charging an aver
age customs duty of thirty per cent. (includ-
ing free goods in the total), they are charging
an average of only ten per cent. upon our
exports to the Dominion" Cauada proves
its desire to do business with US on q moder-
ate tariff, we answer her liberal treatment by
charging thirty dollars where she charges
ten. Canada is becoming tired of this one
sided arrangement, and her parliament is
now considering the ACCESSIBILITY of introduce
ing discriminating duties by taxing certain
things out of their markets. This will I'M
ftyorably affect our commerce, as can be seen
by the following statement: IS Within the
last Eve years we have exchanged places with
Eogland IN respect to the trade of the Domin-
ion. England was the chief market Of sup
ply for the Canadians, the United States now
occupy that position, our exports thither ex-
ceeding hers by thirty per cent; we were the
larger purchasers of Canadian products. Eng
land now holds that relation, her imports
from Canada exceeding ours by eighty-two
and one-half per cent" If congress has
completed its financial reforms, mercantile
affairs come next in order and revised tariff

Many business men have an opinion that
recent changes in our financial system will
ultimately bring them losses, unless they pro-
vide in time against the contingency they
think they forssee. They expect that when
the dollars now coined and coming are put
into circulation they will be at a discount
against gold, and bring the paper money
with which they are interchangeable into the
same condition. The consequence, as they
apprehend, would be that goods sold on
credit on one basis would be paid for on
another, to the loss Of the seller AS pro-
lection against this possibility, it is proposed
to make all long contracts or contracts of
any sort payable in gold coin of the standard
OF weight and 6neness in use at the time of
making the contract Each party to the
bargain would thus underst nd at the outset
exactly what he was to pay or receive at its
fulfillment, and neither could be damaged or
benefited unfairly by any change in the
market value Of the currency. Such a con-
tract would be equivalent to a contract to de-
liver a certain weight of bullion of specified
fneness, and, it is claimed, is protected by
the decisions of the supreme court against
all legal tender legislation.

The senate will not make changes among
its officers rashly or imprudently. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
who has unusual opportunities for knowing,
and is generally correct in his statements,
says that most Of the leading and influential
Democratic senators are opposed to doing
more than gradually changing the personnel
of the force in the office Of the secretary and
of the sergeant alarms. AS to the elective
officers, many are inclined to think that if a
new secretary, chaplain and sergeant-at-
arms are elected at the coming session, it
will do very well to stop there until the regu-
lar session in December. Senators appear TO
realize that If all the elective officers are
changed at once and the present experienced
occupants made to give way in body for
raw and inexperienced hands, it would not
be long before the business of the senate
would get INTO a smart and tangle which
would be anything but pleasant and conye-
nient. Yet the mass of anxious expectants
care nothing about this, and are very impa-
tient at the bare suggestion.

AMERICANS who are interested in The ques-
ton of the higher education of women, says
the New York Tribune, will be glad to hear
that the success of the mixed classes at Uni
versity college, London, is now assured. In
some classes the attendance of young women
is as high as thirty per cent. of the whole.
The professors are perfectly satisfied with
the result of opening the classes to women
students, and the young men have not the
slightest fear That the standard of education
will be lowered. University college Is, of
course, in an exceptional position for max
ing an experiment of the kind, and it does
not follow that the success achieved there
would be attained in institutions where the
conditions are not so favorable.

mere bu.ifess attitude, we see that 'chills"
are annually the cause of great pecunisry
loss. and that the commonest prudence sug
gests that every effort the public authorities
can put forth is worth being tried as a mere
matter Of business. There are doubts whether
any Of the eucalyptlc group of trees will stand
our variable climate. This should be expert
mentally ascertajned, not with single va
riety. however, but with several, so that if any
can be successfully cultivated here they may
be so. Ii has lately been announced that the
common willow, when profusely raised about
house in 'chill country" proves protec-
ton. If the basket willow will do the same,
health and profit would be combined by its
cultivation. If public attention Was given to
the subject OF ''chllls, and public measures
were adopted to observe and experiment, We
should then learn whether anything will ac-
complsh what the eucalyptus and the willow
are said to do, and if so what they are.

ALTlE IN Bread.

A nuisance that troubled Europe fifty years
ago is beginning to atlrsc' attention here
that Is, putting alum into the bread We eat.
The bread must be light that it may be d.
gested; that Is, it must be filed by the well
known cells we are accustomed to see in it.
Where beer or ale is brewed those who I'M
Ierst4ud healthy eGd-making procure yeast,
which ''iightens" The bread better than any
substitute, and Is wholesome. Where yeast
is not readily to be obtained, baking pow
ders'' are resorted to, and out of them comes
mischief. Bicarbonate of soda and cream of
tartar, or tartaric acid, are the usual constitu-
ents of a good baking powder. Cream of
tartar sells at from sixty cents to eighty. five
cents a pound This high price has led
"cheap baking rowders" to be made of alum,
as a substitute for some or all of the cream Of
tartar. Alum will make bread look whittier,
so that bakers can make an inferior -four
salabe as bread by its use; and they use it,
in some places calling it ''rock," so that no
l'.advertent expression may let Outsiders
know that alum is used Alum is an iniuri-
GUS article to the human constitution in large
quantities, or IN small quantities often re-
peated. 1t Is the small quantities, taken
every meal, that do the mischief in bread.
Alum is cheap-tbree cents a pound-to the
pocket, but it takes what is so saved out of
the stomach, and takes it with fearful inter-
est. Alum is az astringent, and is used
by dyers and others as such. Taken fire.
quently on the human stomach it produces
heartburn, indigestion, gripping, constipation,
dyspepsia, and kindred troubles resulting
from irritation of the mucous membrane,
produced by the astringent properties Of
alum. All these are nice things to be in
hlcted by the bread eaten morning, noon and
evening. To young children, growing girls,
persons of weakly frame and sedentary occu-
pations, t1is alum bread is poison most espe-
cially. It the reader wants to know some
thing of alum, let him suck lump of it,
notice its effect on the mouth, which is some
thing ike that of an unripe persimmon;
then let him reflect how it acts upon the
tender, delicate coats of the stomach. DR..
Henry A. Mott, the celebrated analytical
chemist, analized twenty-three of the baking
powders most in use, and found alum in
every one of them. 1t is time we took meas
ures to stop this bread poisoning that kills
our little ones and perpetuates dyspepsia and
cholera

THE Montgom .ry Ad0ertiser and Mail
says of Judge Goldthwaite, Of Alabama, re-
Gently deceased, that he attained the highest
emlnence on the bench, and 1t is doubtful if
Alabama will ever have his superior as cir
attachments, though to those who did not
know him well, he seemed to be cold and
distant. He was exceedingly kind and char
liable, and singularly just in all his transac-

did not take the rank 10 that bJdy which
otherwise his cool judgment and ability would

Taffx for English.

New York Star: Although Mr.. English
has not been in public life for years past, there
is no man in Indiana, probably, more popular
than he is, or who could carry the State by
as large majority Of votes If he were to be a
candidate for President, governor, or any
other high position. He has always been a
Democrat, and was an earnest Union man
throughout the war. he served several
terms as a representative in congress from
Indiana previous to the war, and was known
as Woodworking and faithful servant of the
people. The English compromise bill, >
relative t. the Kansas Nebraska difficulty, Of
which he was the author, and which he
skillfully engineered through congress, placed
him in the first rank of statesmen of that
day. Since he left public life he has been
well known to the financial men of the coun-
try as the president OF the First national
bank of Indianapolis, and as the richest man,
probably, in Indiana. He is as much respected
personally, and for integrity and business
ability, by the Republicans OF the State as by
men of his own party. He is thorough
western man, and yet might be acceptable to
the east on account of his sound financial
views and ability. Who knows that but M
English may be the dark horse that will be
entered for the lace of 1SS0?'
