their disastrous defeat in this State last Mon

rectly from Germany, passed through the
city this morning, being EN- route to North

that have recently come to Indiana is esti-

continue to come. No less than ten squads
have passed through this city within the
last few weeks.-Logansport Pharos.
From every place where the Democrats
have gained the day, comes the heart-rend-

apathy" The disease has been general
seeming to have been of an epidemic nature
even in the great Republican State of Ohio.
1t is well that some new tangled disease has
struck them. and il they can't find any
other name for nc, let them call it apathy"

Sixty-seven Italians brought to South
Whitley the other day by the L., NJ. and d.
Construction Company to work on the nickel

that the agreement made was to pay them

that in addition ;hey were compelled to
sleep out of doors though a couple of cars

Our. Constitution now authorizes only BIZ
ennial sessions of the Legislature. Unless
we can get better ones than we have had of
late years it would be well to greatly extend
the time. il not ''indefnitely postpone"
The last Legislature was more disastrous to
the property interests of the State than a
dozen cyclones of the greatest magnitude or
two or three such overflows as that which
lately took place in the Mssissippl. Our
notion of a country of perfect bliss is one
which Legislatures either do not meet at all
or only once in thousand years.-Shelby-
vile Volunteer.
1t may be interesting to our readers, as il
certainly was 10 the writer. 10 learn that the
venerable Mr.. James Howe, SO well known
20 every one in Lafayette, was at one time
IN his eally career intimately associated
with Horace Greeley, who Is often spoken of
as the father of American newspapers. Mr.
Howe's claim to this title, however, is much
better than was Greeley's, for Horace was a
tvpe-setter in the Office of the Spirit of the
Times, afterwards Wilkes Spirit of the
Times, and now the Spirit of The Times.
when Mr.. Howe, with a Mr.. William T.
Porter, under the firm name of Howe &
Porter, were the founders and proprietors.
A warm friendship sprang up between
Greeley and Mr.. Howe which lasted
throughout the lifetime of Americas great
journalist They never ceased TO CORE
spond, and when Greeley was herein Sep
tember, island delivered his address at
the Fair Grounds, it was through his regard
for his lifelong friend that he was induced
to come. The friendship of Horace Greeley
was one that any man, be he peasant or
king, might we'll be proud of; for, although /,
VIGOROUSLY careless in many respects and |
often deceived, yet withal he was a keen
judge OF mankind. and took none to his |

Lafayette Courier
Supt Abbott, OF the Water Works. and |
MI. Nj. Asire have invented a machine, the |
value OF which can be fully appreciated by |
engineers and machinists. 1t is a lathe for |
turning the wrist pins of engines or. large |
power pumps, and bearings of shaftings, etc |
The machine consists of a hollow cylinder |
made to fit the shaftings or collars of the |
wrist pins. One end of the cylinder is solid, |
and arranged to center precisely with the |
end OF the pin, and is held to its place by /
clamps. a slat or fiat bar is run through the |
lathe, and upon this the tool is lowered to |
the pin. The tool, as would first SEEM does
not remain stationary while the machine is
in operation, but is carried with the whole
machine in Its revolution around tie wrist |
pm: The machine can be operated by a |
pully or crank. 1t is a cheap and desirable /
machine, easily adjusted to any wrist pin,
and does The work as perfectly as any engine
athe. The machine was successfully oper-
lted at the Water Works yesterday and to-
lay. All the engineers and nIachinists who
have inspected il so far are unanimous in
IL very valuable invention,
and one that will supply need long felt by
engineers and machinists. The inventors
intend soon to make application for a pa
