Singular.

While the report Of grasshopper
ravages are circulating as cause for
the failure of crops in some states, the
assignments of failures of crops from
others is rust, while from others the
reason of the poor harvest is attrihu-
ted to an over abundance of rain
Thus it is, that the voice of woe comes
up from weak humanity, but the peo-
pie of the present day are so united by
the ties of commerce extending around
the world, with power hot only to
communicate, but to extend assistance
before the want is painfully felt, that
the world presents rather the appear
ance of one grand garden of hills and
valleys, and when barreness effects the
uplands the lowlands yield, food is in
sured for the Aggregate humanity by
the powerful ties of union and univer.

A. $4,000 whisky house bursts into
flames at Cincinnati, Ohio, from some

an influence that pervades the elements

Letter from Depot Springs.

DEPOT springs, w. L., July IL, 1880.
ED. TELLER:-The N. P. R. R. is
pushing it's way quite as rapid
ly as could be expected under
the circumstances in which they are
placed. Nothing could be done ex-
cept to grade the road up to this time,
as the want of lumber for ties and
trestles would prevent the laying of
track even if all the iron wos on hand.
Only twenty five miles of track is laid
and to do that, the ties had to be
placed five feet apart. The grading is
all complete, except small pieces of
rock work, los miles up to the .town
of Sprague near the upper end of
Lake Colville, or Big Lake it is COM
monty called, and -he graders are at
work about Is miles further on. It is
expected the whole road will be grad
and ready for the trestle, ties and rails
before the middle of September, up to
the Golfer Il Mclean contract, 1873
miles from Ainsworth, and the ad-
vance parties of graders be several
miles beyond Spokan Falls on the fur
ther end of the contract at the same
time. The want of lumber to lay the
track as fast as the grading proceeded
necessitated supplies beiug hauled by
teams from the end of the track, a
very slow and expensive way of doing
it. In May last one of your old
friends, A. s. Abernethey, was sent
out on the line of the road to select
the best places for stations and towns,
and the work is about done now
towns having been surveyed at the fol
lowing places: First from Ainsworth,
about rs miles at Providence Springs,
or Big Springs, in the Providence
course, about SO acres was laid in
blocks and lots in the course above
the springs, on section 25. The sur
rounding country Oh both sides fol
: many miles is beautifully situated fol
farming, but the scarcity of water il
that region and below it, with its grea
r distance fromany market heretofore ha,
prevented any settlements and though
,, now fast filling up, time win be re
quired to show whether the soil will b,
e productive or not If it should prov,
even moderately productive, that mus
prove an important point. Ten ant

course and surrounded by very mucl

soil in this upper country ought to b.

THE SENTINEL.
What Our Friends of the State Press Say
About Us.
ITerre Hante GazetteL


As is well known to our readers, the Ga
zette is but little given to what is usually
termed complimentary notices, and when
now we feel moved to direct special atten-
ton to theImerit Of our esteemed contem>
porary, the Indianapolis Sentinel, we wish
to be understood doing so with the earn
est purpose of just commentator, meaning
indeed even more than We say. The Sentinel
is surely putting vigor and power into the
campaign worthy OF ali praise and favor, and
is incurring an expense In giving up so much
of its space TO the publication OF choice
speeches and other valuable political matter
that ought TO be appreciated by the Democ
racy of the State. We know the cost of
daily newspaper, of setting the large amount
OF Donpareil or small type now beng set by
the Sentinel, and the damage and loss other
wise resulting therefrom 10 a paper In its
general business, hence we unhesItatingly
and unbegrudsingly give our voice in very
earnestly urging upon Democrats every
where throughout the State to stand by, en-
courage and support, and in every manner
hold up the hands CT the Sentinel in its good
work.

A LIVING ISSUE.
How Albert G. Porter Raked In Heavy Fee
on Five Minute Outlay of Time.

Once upon q time Hon. James L. Evans
was heard to express his sentiments in re-
gard to Albert G. Porter; and the subject
and the occasion seemed to warrant the
strong terms often heard at the stock yard
The circumstances were these firm in
which John Foudray and ]. l. Evans were
associated had claim against the Govern
ment for horses sold. Ii was shortly after
the war. Mr.. Foudray, being a personal
friend, as well as constituent, of Porter's, he
suggested that the account be sent to him
for collection. The honorable gentleman
collected 1t and charged them either $3.50 or
$3.50 as IAN attorneys fee." The work con-
sisted in walking to the Department and re-
ceiptiDg the bill; but the distinguished Al
bino saw an opportunity for grab" and
improved the shining hour At the time,
the gentlemen Immediately concerned were
not the only ones who thought it a great
Outrage, and one very prominent Republican
of this city (now dead) compared Albert G.
Porter, in his great love of money, to 1.-The
disciple who robbed the poor and traded
upon the life of his Master
There was no denial of the account the
claim was honorable and just. There was
no obstacle in the way of the collection.
Any one authorized to sign the firm name
could have gotten the money. Mr.. Porter
will hardly say that he gave the weight of
his name and influence to a job to defraud
the Government; and in this particular in
stance 1t would be false, il said. The account
would not have been placed in bis hands as
an attorney; it was simply favor that is
often and rightly asked of Congressman.
The retention of the "fee" was merely
manifestation OF the avarice and cunning by
which the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor has added largely to an inherited for
tune

BURNED ALIVE.
Godfred Lent Becomes Crszed Prom Drink
and Locks Himself In Room In His
own House and Sets Fire to
the Building.

Yesterday afternoon, about 4 O'Clock, q
German gardner named Godfred Lentz, re-
siding three miles south OF the city, on
what is known as the Three Notch" road
met with horrible death. While lsboring
under fit of temporary insanity, he went
to his room, locked the door, set fire to
the house and was burned alive. The facts
as obtained from an eye witness, are as fol-
lows: Lsntz had been a hard drinker for
some months past, and his immediate
neighbors say drinking has often affected
his mind. During the past three or four
days his family had noticed that he acted
very strange and seemed to be discouraged
and sullen. Yesterday afternoon he was
last seen alive, going up stairs to his room
few minutes before the fire was discovered.
1t is supposed that he went 10 his room and
locked himself in, and then set fire to the
building, for when the fire was discovered it
had gained such Roadway that 1t was impos
sible to get to the door of the room where he
was The neighbors residing near rushed to
the rescue, but were not in time TO
save the man from O horrible death. Mr.
]. Walker, who resides in this city, was pass
Ing along the road near by, when his stten-
ton was attracted by the fire, and he
fastened to the burning building. He,
with number OF the neighbors, succeeded
in saving portion of the furniture and
bedding. The building story and a ha
frame of six rooms-is a total loss. As the
burning building fell and was nearly COL
sumed the charred remains of LentZ could be
distinctly seen by the bystsnders. He had a
small garden farm, consisting of fifteen or
twenty acres, and had carried on gardening
successfully for some years. The unfortu-
nate man had his brother arrested in Terre
Haute some time ago on a charge OF forgery,
which, upon investigation, proved to be
groundless, there being nothing whatever 10
substantiate the charge. He also applied at
the Central Station a short time ago for
lodging, stating that he wished to remain
there during the summer. He leaves wife
and two sons.

The Indianapolis Ssntioel is the leading
Democratic paper in the State, vigorously
edited, and its inducements offered are un-
usually liberal to those wishinga irst-cless
Democratic paper. The Sentinel also con.
tains an epitome OF State, home and foreign
news, together with full market and tele.
graphic reports and is 30 very cheap that it
should be a welcome visitor to the homes OF
business men and farmers throughout the
State and country. 1t is customary for q
great many country publishers TO get up
clubs with Chicago and other papers pub
lished outside OF the State. but in order to be
thoroughly posted in regard to events trans
piriDg st.home and abroad, we recommend

and sublime judicial somereault, It will fur
nish the best Illustration of the superior ad-
vantsges of a dependent over an independent
judiciary that has appeared in the jurispru-

George Ill. were driven out of Office by Amer

you.
Do not enter house, q store, an Office or
place of business without scraping the dirt
from the soles of your boots or shoes. 1t is
not good to leave pint Of dirt from your
feet upon an Office floor or carpet, and have
the man you were talking to set you down
as sloven, as dirty footed men are.
Do not enter place of business smoking
a cigar or dirty, sinking old pipe. Men
who have brain work to perform do not relish

Do not. unless you are the son of a sneak

Do not when you enter a business Office

around as barker till those you are in

THE Republican papers have frequently
been quoting from The Nation" during the
campaign, but racently the extracts have
been missing. Now, here is something which
they have evidently overlooked. The Ma
ton recently said:
General Hancock's letter to General Sher-
man about his duty as q so der during the
Presidential crisis of 1876 has been published
The campaign account of IL before IL appeared
was, naturally enough, that 1t contained a
promise 10 obey Mr.. Tllden's orders, and
seize Mr.. Hayes and confine him in a dun
geon, or in one of the rooms of the Capitol
known the american Bastile." It turns
out to be a sober and very sensible dis
cussion OF the situation from the point of
view of a soldier writing To his military
superior and friend. He distinctly announces
that he should consider General Grant as at
the end OF his authority on the Sd Of March,
and should, alter that date, treat the decision
of Congress as binding, In case 1t should
appear that no election by the people had
taken place under the conditions prescribed
by the Constitution. The letter is very credit
able to General Hancock, both In his view of
the nature of the crisis, aud of the relations Of
the army to the civil authorities. He refers to
two letters of General Shermans to both OF
which his own was an answer, and there is q
natural desire to see them. We trust General
Sherman will crafty this reasonable curios-
ity.

Disabled Veterans Not to be Turned Out of

The Washington Sunday Herald has the
following:
Within the next few days the Democratic
National Committee will make an authorata-
tive statement of great importance TO the
floating soldier vote of the country. For
some time past, ever since General Hancock
was nominated, the Committee has .bk en-
ceiving letters from various sources, In which
the writers ask what would be the policy of
the Hancock administration as TO the tenure
of Office of disabled soldiers of the late war.
Many veterans who are anxious to
wheel into the Hapcock column,
especially in Pennsylvania, want some
assurance that their MANNED comrades now
in office shall not In any event be disturbed.

ton for New York, made the statement while
here that the success of the Democratic ticket
would not mean the removal of disabled
Union veterans from public office. There

don't speak by authority now, but L feel
confident. IL would be more than safe to pre-
dict that, If General Hancock secures control
of the Federal patronage, there will be no pro-
scription practiced against thoss who were
wounded in the same cause he fought for.
They will, know, be retained regardless of
their political views, on the ground that disa-
bi tiles received in war entitle the soldier to
the protection of his Government, no matter
what his politics may be. These l know are
the views of the General, and they are also
the sentiments of the Democratic party az fl
