The people of Hayti are not

The people of Hayti are not
prosperous this year. The eof-
fee crop is reported as being
very poor, being not over two
thirds yield, and is sold in mar
ket at three and one-half to four
cents q pound. The supersti-
tious blacks of the island are
greatly exercised over the pres
ence in the sky Of the great
comet, many believing that Ma
ture is about to call time on
things terrestrial. The appear
.ance of the comet of last year
was followed by smallpox,
which took off 10000 Haytiens,
and that circumstance has the
effect now of causing great alarm
among the ignorant people
DR.. Charles Holland, of New
Jersey, has invented IL loeomo-
tive which burns hydrogen gas,
generated as required from oil
and steam. This fuel relieves
passengers of the miseries of
sparks, smoke and cinders, and
at the same time the speed of
the engine is increased. The en-
CINE was recently tested on the
Erie railway and the success was
such that many railroad men
predict that in a short time no
other engines will be used.

her children to consent to have her husband take
another wife even the WON an she most hated
While for herself she might have preferred to
plunge beneath the waters OF the Jordan, yet for
the sake other children she has consented to see
her husband bring another woman into her home

The better to prize the blessings of her own home
and be able to syn athize with these poor unfor-
tunate sisters and do nore for their relief.

Henry and Hannah A. Shidcler, who
died Feb. 10Th, 1882, vas born August
I'd, 1865, (instead OF 1866, US announced
at funeral services through mistake,)
aged Is years, 6 months aud II days.
Devoted to her books and studies
from her earliest youth, her progress
was rapid and her usefulness conspi-
ciousin givinginstruction to her young
err brother and two sisters, who have
suffered an irrepairable loss ty this
early aud sad bereavement.
AS a daughter she WAS dutiful, in
dustrious and obedient; as a sister,
amiable, social and kind; asa friend,
devoted and true. As a christian, al
though not member of fanny religious
denomination, she seemed to have an
intuitive knowledge of what consti-
tutes pure and indebted religion, and
passed away with the full assurance
that there was a seat for her in the as
sembly of the just, made perfect in the

INDIANAPOLIS, md, Feb. Is, 1882.
When I wrote my former letter to you,
I found that instead OF writing anything
about this city, my letter vas made up
of "reminiscences of my visit to Eaton,
the prospects OF the town, &C., &c.
l now propose to say something about
this city. Indianapolis is once more on
the up grade. LAT one time she overdid
herself. The boom in real estate here
made and wrecked manyfortunes. Men
sppeculated, wildly and almost fabulous
prices were realized for eligible LOTS
Eastern capital flowed in and large and
costly buildings went UP as by magic
Railroads from every direction entered
our city, andif you will glance at a rail
road map you will observe that the cir
Gle which represents the Capital also
represents a hub, and the various roads
radiating from a common center, around
which our famous belt railroad forms, a
tire, completely represents alarge wheel.
There is hardly azcounty in our State
which one may not reach by rail and re-
turn the same day. OF course with such
railroad facilities, Indianapolis is and
must ever be a city of business impor-
lance, but it has many grounds of COM

At the meeting on Thursday evening

raj Springs" a Committee of six persons
was appointed to solicit the citizens for
a donation of $4,000 for their improve
ment. The Committee appointed con-
sisted of John w. Rhea, w. H. Kline,
Loots johnson, John Alexander, David
Peters and Levi Risinger. An adjourn
ed meeting for this Committee to report
was held in the city Hall on Monday
evening last, and was well attended by
our citizens, and addressed by John T.
Deem, w. B. Marsh, ESQ.,, John Rhea,
T. J.. Larsh, David Peters, Benz. Hub
bard, Esq, and L. G. Abbott, ESQ.,, of
Richmond, Ind, who happened to be
present. The speeches of the gentlemen
were to the point, and many good things
were said by them which were heartily
applauded, and the meeting adjourned
until Saturday evening next, to which
period the time of the soliciting Commit
tee has been extended to continue their
efforts. Let the good work go On, and
this enterprise be placed upon a firm ba-
sis. 1t is not a personal speculation III
the interest of John Smith or Bill Jones
but a public enterprise-from its sue
cess the whole community will be bene-
fitted, and every enterprising citizen who
feels an interest in the advancement and
prosperity of his home, should see that.
a matter SO material to the interests of
our city should not be permitted to die
for want of proper encouragement and
support. A good watering place with
such springs as these, may build up a
large town in a short time if we only
take advantage of the wonderful resourc-
es which are simply running to waste.
Other localities with springs of far less
value, are noted throughout the length
and breadth of the land. The careful
analysis Of the waters of these springs
shows we are not talking at random
when we say the. opportunity for our cit
is a grand one and they should
avail themselves of it promptly.
Below will be found a list OF theesub-
seriptions as reported by the Committee
at the meeting, footing up only $3.50.

to put their shoulders to the
wheel and help prosper and advance the
interests of their own town: aa1r

what Young Ladies Should
Know.

First, they should have a good COM
mon school education. They should
know how to cook a good meal of victu-
ais how to wash and iron; how to darn
stockings; how to sew on buttons; how
to make their own dresses; how to make
shirts; how to make bread; how to wear
calico dresses, and how to do it like a
queen; how to do the marketing for the
family; how to foot up store bills; how
no amount OF tight lacing will improve
the model; how a good, steady, greasy
mechanic without acent is worth a doz-
en- .oily-pated loafers in broadcloth.-
Young ladies possessing these accom-
plishments, and who will have nothing
to do with incorporate and dissolute
young men will make good healthy
wives, and are the kind sensible young
men should seek after for life partners.

1t is folly to experiment with the numer-
GUS low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials,

dence of millions whom it has benefited.
