The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1879-09-17


During an excursion from this city to Nj
agara Falls, and while at Cleveland, an in
cident occurred that will never be forgotten
by those who heard it. The Kennard House
at that city was crowded with guests, when
an eccentric and witty druggist Of Smit afield
street appeared late at night at the hotel
office and demanded bed The clerk re-
piled that there were only two vacant beds in
the house, one wherein was quartered Pitts
burg morning newspaper man, and the other
in room wherein was a Pittsburg evening
newspaper man, who were with the excur-
sion. sss le9
40 tell the truth, they are both pretty
drunk-so you may take your choice as to
which room you will sleep in
The druggist said that on general princi-
pies he would take his chances with the even
ing newspaper journalist as they excelled the
morning men in more ways than one, and he
would doubtless be so drunk that he would
lie dormantly quiet all night. He went to
bed and was soon sound asleep. The jour
nalist, however, awakened about IL O'Clock,
and thinking it long time between drinks,
dressed himself, unconsciously in the drug
gists clothes, and sailed out to make night
of it. Ever and anon he muttered, as he
treated all present:
- Funniest thing ever heard Of When /
went to bed last night only had 25 cents to
my name, and now I've got over a hundred
dollars, Showing corpulent roll of bills, J
and I'm bound to spend every cent of it be-
fore morning"
He did.

Hard Times.

We have in our mind says an exchange,
q brilliant and cultivated young lawyer who
started in life with $4,000, and a beautiful
end accomplished wife. He is now sort
of factotum in a carpet mandatory, run
ing hither and thither at the beck and call
of those whom he secretly despises, doing
heavy tasks far beyond his strength, yet
eager and anxious to please, lest the slender
support which he derives from this mental
work be cut off. We know gentleman
who was bank president 10 years ago and
owned his carriage. who now does copying in
an insurance Office at S35 a month,
supporting-God knows how-a wife and
five children on it. We know of a gentle
man who once held high Office in a West
ern State, who solicited work at cleaning
out offices and building fires. Nor have the
changed times less bitterly affected woman.
Jennie Collins, of Boston, famed for her en-
ployment bureau and working mems home,
says in her last report: "Many kind ladies
who hired their servants of me in the past
years, have been obliged to apply for en-
ployment themselves of late. l sent lady
to hotel las housekeeper, and the most
humiliating part of it was, that her room
was in the attic with two of her former SER
wants." We are constantly learning of wo-
men of education and refinement formerly
wealthy, who are engaged as seamstresses,
nurses and housekeepers; and in one case we
even know of lady, who would be at home
in any parlor in the land among educated
people, who served as cook in hotel fol
months

What is q Boom?

The current word to express peculiar and
frequent phenomenon in our politics is
~boom." 1t is derived from the Western
idiom describing the freshets in rivers and
creeks. In those streams that are far from
the stable equilibrium of tidal waters there
are very great inequalities Of volume. Some
of them vary from six inches of dust in a
dry time to 60 feet of water dyring sea-
son of rains, and all have their times when
the usually thin and shallow streams come
pouring down in a yellow Hood, bearing ience
rails and corn stacks, and other signs of the
invasion of the riparian FARMS and laden
with the dog-gone expletives of the settlers
and the vexations of the travellers delayed at
the fords. The stream is powerful while il
lasts, but that is only for day or two, and
ness it is called a "boom." "Lost creek or the
Dry Fork is booming" is the wayin which
the natives describe these passing ebullitions
of nature.

JUDGE KEY has been interviewed
by a New York Tribune reporter
on the result of the late election.
He said that he regarded the result
as showing that majority of the
people were now in favor of abso-
lutte reputation, but thought the
public mind would assume health
Ter tone before it was brought up
again. He also regrets the rejec-
ton of the compromise on another
account. No provision having been
made for the arrearages of interest,
which was 100000 on the LIST of
January, and which is increasing at
the rate of $1,200,0OO a year,
every days delay only puts the
settlement in a worse shape. He
thinks much of the discredit for the
present state of affairs is due to
Andrew Johnson and Emerson
Etheridge, both of whom were can
didates for the Senate in 1870.
johnson claimed that the debt
after nineteen years ought to
be considered as paid, and
Etheridge introduced bill in the
State Senate to reduce the tax from
six to two mills. He also pays his
respects to Marks, and says he
blundered, if he was in earnest in
desiring settlement, in calling the
election in the busiest time of the
year. He thinks the compromise
would have carried next Fall, when
the farmers would have had time to
leave work and vote. He says the
proposition never ought to have
been left to the people, and puts ii
down as the cowardice of Demos
racy that left it to them.
The Tribune closes the article BY
saying
''It is known that Judge Key IA
vored the REIMBURSEMENT which the
people have just rejected, because he
considered it the least of two evils.
He represents email minority of the
Democrats and an overwhelming ma
jority of the Republicans in Tennes-
see, who have been obliged to make
the same choice. The repudiating
/ Democracy of that State seem. to have
1 succeeded in completely sitting the
voice of those who believe in honest
payment of honest debts; aud. the
prospects of the States creditors receiv.
/ ing any returns on their investment
/ are gloomy indeed" 49, sss
