An Early Indiana Duel.
Madison Courier.l

One of the first and most tragic of the
duels in which Indianians figure was that Of
Captain Richard @. Talbot of Madison, in
1872. At that time Captain Talbot was an
officer in the American army in the region
of the lakes. For s,me cause now unknown
the captain was challenged to fight duel by
q Kentucky officer of superior rank,
who was SO incensed on account OF o
fancied injury that he waived the priv
lege of rank in his eagerness TO
appease his wounded honor by shedding
blood. The two duelists faced each other
holding the ends of handkerchief sscat a.
cornered." At the word both fired and the
Kentuckian fell dead. The affair was q
painful recollection in Talbott's subsequent
life, and was never mentioned by either his
friends or kindred. A COUSIN of the captain,
venerable lady now living in
this city, stated to us q day or
two since that the duel caused Mr..
Talbot great sorrow, and over it he shed
many tears On one occasion he remarked
to her: Il did not have aught against the
man. l did not want to kill him, but he
challenged me; and under the prevailing
code of honor at the time was Obliged to
meet him." Captain Talbott-resided in
this county for many years and filled
the Office of county clerk for sew.
erai terms. He was the first clerk
OF Jefferson county. Mr.. Talbot was d
prominent Mason and member Of the Grand
Lodge of the State. His death occurred IN
1895. bis widow surviving him until seven
or eight years ago. The late Jere Talbot,

JOIN SHERMAN's villainy is in fair way
of being thoroughly exposed, and If ne is
not promptly impeached and kicked out OF
office, then a great scamp will go unpur
ished. John Sherman's connection with tn
First National bank, of New York, is specl
men of partisan scoundrelism that admits
of no satisfactory explanation, and
his recent order, in arresting the
payment of S4,00O,OO0 check
drawn on that bank by Assistant Secretary
Gil6llan, fixes the charge of rascality upon
the old hoary-headed perjury broker, be-
yond palliation. The whole refundlng
scheme pursued by John Sherman has been
q downright fraud from the first upon the
people, and it Is now shown to have been
pursued for the purpose of extorting from
the syndicate banks corruption funds for
campaign frauds, and for the express purpose
of aiding the Sherman presidential boom in
Ohio, and elsewhere. Since John Sherman
bartered Federal offices for perjury in
Louisiana, which Hayes paid By placing in
Office the most despicable villains that ever
disgraced civilization, nothing more essen
TALLY infamous has transpired than john
Sherman's connection with the First Ma
tional bank of New York. 1t is unadulter

adequate description. 1t illustrates wildly

Republican conspirators are resorting 10

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8.

If the ownership of land is a fair and neces-
sary qualification for suffrage-and such is the
tendency of Republican OpiniOn-the man
who owns 100000 worth of 1t should have 100
votes, If the man who owns 81 600 worth has
one vote We defy any loglcian to show that
this proposition is wrong. 1t is a stock vote to
all intentS and purposes, and should be pro
rata.-Washington Post.
There is no mistake about the tendency
of Republican opinion" with regard to suf-
frage. In the case of the negro in Rhode
Island, the Republican idea is, let him vote,
land or no land; sutin the case of foreign
born citizen, he must own land or he Is cast
out. If the negro, when he gets his eyes
open, votes the Democratic ticket, as he is
doing generally throughout the South, and
the Republican party gets control OF
legislation, yon may bet your
bottom nickel some qualification will
be tackled on which will deprive the
colored man of his vote. The Republican
conspirators wanted the negroes money,
and, to get it, robbed HIM like SO many
burglars. They want his vote, and it ttsy
Sdn't get 1t, thsy will rob him of that, too.
If the Republicans could vote on real es-
tate qualification, as the Post suggests. the
party would go to work in day to steal
every acre of the public lands. Possibly
they will be able to succeed when the Jour
nails '.Nation' is born.

wearing as effeminate. The glovers OF
Paris constitute a considerable commu-
nifty, having statutes and laws dating
back to 1190, which were confirmed. add
ed to, and renewed by Louis XIV, in
1856. The word glove being of Anglo
Saxon origin-Prof. Skeat says it is re-
ferred to in the poem of Beowulf under
the name Glof-it is conjectured by some
that the Saxons introduced the trade OF
glove-making into England.
Gloves do not appear to have been
worn here before the end of the tenth
or the beginning of the eleventh century,
and at that time they were Of special
German manufacture; as five pairs OF
gloves formed no small part of the duty
paid to Ethelred II by society OF Ger
man merchants for the protection of
their trade in this country, which Strutt
observes was proof of their great rarity,
and consequent limitation to the most
exalted personages. Gloves were not
generally worn in England till the four
teenth century, when they became pop
ular with the better classes, who carried
them in their hands, according to Fair
holt; but not till the sixteenth century
do we find constant allusion to them.

1T was, we believe, the mother of the
Gracchii who, when asked by Roman
matron to display her jewels, is reported
in history to have led forward her sons,
and, pointing to them, answered proudly,
"These are my jewels" And stalwart
sons and virtuous daughters are the
rarest and fairest of jewels, not only to a
mother, but to a nation. A writer in
the New York Times, in an elaborate ar
ticle, argues against the right and pru-
dence of any except respectable and
prosperous people having children, going
to. the length of saying that children
are not inevitable, as many people
seem to think, nor is it always
duty to have them, particularly under
very unfavorable circumstances, such as
pinching poverty necessarily begets.
Any young man, young, inexperienced,
unacquainted with himself, may be ex-
cused for taking wife or having one or
two children, but he should not be ex-
cused nor is he excusable if, after finding
his inability to get on, to provide for
such family as he has, he continues to
increase it needless of his obligations to
it and to himself" With all due defer
ence to the New York Times, the doc
trines here enunciated seem to us mon
strous, and if carried out to their logical
sequence would lead to crimes so much
more shocking than any possible evils
that could result from too
rapid increase of INDECENT popula-
tions that we confess to our astonishment
at seeing them given place in respecta-

Malthusian doctrinaires as him who airs
bis pestilent philosophy in the New York
Times, and who happily is not likely to
secure many adherents in country
where honors and fortune await the
hand of him who has the nerve, and the
courage, and the industry to hew them

The Umbrella.
TChambers' Journal

A man in China with an extreme alb
sence of mind is said "to seek the ass he
is riding on" or still more frequently,
his bundle, his umbrella, and himself are
represented as three individualities, and
he is made to say: "Here's my bundle
here's my umbrella-but where am II"
Umbrellas, by the bye, are important
possessions among the Chinese, and the
allusion to the same in the. following cur
ious verse will be readily appreciated;
moreover, the moral conveyed is extreme
ly good:
HE hoards to-day: he boards tomorrow; does
nothing else but hoard;
AT length he has enough new umbrella to af-
ford;
When all at once he is assailed-a wind arises
quick.
And both his hands grasp nothing but new um-
brella-stick.n

MIR. Tilden's Kentucky Editor.
New York Star.1

The attention of the gifted Henry
Watterson, of the Louisville Courier
Journal, is so much occupied in testify
ing his gratitude for Mr.. Tilden's kind
ness in lifting that mortgage on Mr..
Watterson's paper, that he. has no time to
bestow in efforts to check the propensity
of Kentuckians for perforating each
other with pistol balls.
Last summer, however, he spared few
precious moments every day for several
weeks to endeavor to show that the
moral condition of Ohio society was
vastly inferior to the moral condition of
the society which Mr.. Watterson graces.
The good Deacon, Richard Smith, of
the Cincinnati Gazette, produced statis-
tics which convinced everybody but the
gifted Mr.. Watterson himself that his
estimate Of the relative virtue of Ohio
and Kentucky people was quite errone-
ous
Since then numerous little episodes not
wholly unattended with blood-letting,
have enlivened the records of the State
civilization that Mr.. Watterson repre-
sents, and within the last three weeks the
male members of two distinguished Ken
lucky families, the Holbrooks and I'm
derwoods, have almost been exterminated
by their free use of the revolver.
Under these circumstances we respect
fully submit that the highly aesthetic
and "reform" editor of the Louisville
Courier-Journal might pay less attention
to the moral aspects Of the revolt against
Tildenism in this State, and lend his
powerful influence toward improving the
moral tone of Kentucky society. Until
he does so he can not expect much SYM
pathy on account Of the punishment he
receives from the orthodox broadsides OF
Deacon Richard Smith.
