To the Editor of the indianapolis JournaI
There now remains not one shadow of a
doubt that Governor Hendricks is prepared
to enter the political arena as a candidate for
Governor, on acontest confined to the juris-
diction of the State OF Indiana. Don't forget
what ne said about being in favor of tar
lift that would benefit the manufacturing in
terests of this State. He used to he in favor
of an ad valorem tariff, if we have not for
gotten his ancient record. His position on
this doctrine now will not do for any other
locality than this. Don't forget the predic-
ton that he is to be some part of the Dem
ocratic machine in the next election, ii able
to do so.

From the New York Times.

A computation has recently been made by N.
Armangaud as to the expenditure of sixteen
working class families in the town of Mulhouse.
In Alsace. Similar expenses might be a little
over or little under this estimate in other dis
tricrs in France; but, upon the whole, the re-
suits may be accepted as a fair average The
sixteen families tabulated by NJ Armaneaud
were chosen from different classes of wOrkmen.
and their expenditures varied from 100
francs to 5000 francs per annum; that is.
from f44 to f120 year. House accom-,
mediation, as rule. swallowed up Is per cent
OF the total expenditure, clothing 16 per
cent, and food 81 per cent per cent being re-
served for miscellaneous purposes. In the mat
ter of food the highest expenditure Registered
was u per cent, and this item of expenditure
was thus distributed: 80 per cent was for bread
IA per cent for meat, Is per cent for milk. "a per
cent for groceries, and 16 per cent for miscel.
laneous ailments. The greatest expenditure
upon bread In any individual case was 4S peI
cent. 1t was thus seen that the average ex.
penditure Of these sixteen working class fami.
lies OF Mulhouse upon bread was little over
one-fifth Of their total expenditure. This being
the case In the average, and the greatest ex.
penditure being about One-third of the tota

Mile. Olga,S Lovers.

The Paris correspondent of the London Ne,rs
sends an account of a case which has excited
much interest in the south of France just tried
by the CarcassOnne Correctional Tribunal
Nine. de Pointies, a widow of forty-seven, with
large landed property, inhabits a chateau, with
an only child. Mile. Olga beautiful girl only
twenty-one. This lady had for steward one
Poncignon, who with his wife possessed her en-
tire confidence. The PoncignOns conceived the
sAdea OF finding husbands for both ladies'. and
obtaining handsome commission On the achieve
ment They began with the widow, and found
for her genuine but penniless marquis, NJ de
Lostanges, OF Toulouse. They negotiated SO
cieverly that Nine. de Pointies accepted
him and he signed bills for 6o;ooof in
1 maq9age Of PHnsg4on payable after the
and the result of the combination the Marquis,
intoxicated with success, got literally intoxi-
Gated at dejeuner at the lady's house, and so
conducted himself that he was turned out,
with orders not to show his face there again.
The 6O,OO bills became valueess, but nothing
daunted, the Poncignons found another noble-
man. Baron Armanderie d'Arberat. for Mile.
Olga, and so cajoled her mother that she
strained her parental authority to the utmost to
force the young lady to take him. But Olga
had her own views. She did not like the Baron,
named Signourel. Then Poncignon and
the Baron. with the full authority of the
mother, organized capturing party, such
as was frequent in old times in ireland, to take
possession of Mile. Olga and carry her bodily
away from the seductive SignOurel. Five braves
were enlisted for this service, but Signourel and
his faithful lady got wind OF the project, and
when they got to his house at Marselles Olga
was out Of the way. Nine. de Pointies herself.
hearing of the failure, came to Marseilles and
fired revolver at Bonafous, the landlord OF
Signourel and Olga. Olga has married Sig
nourel. but the marriage will probably be dis
puted for want of maternal consent. Meanwhile
Baron d'Arberat and Poncignon are sentenced
to months Imprisonment for their attempt to
carry of Mile Olga, and their two principal
auxiliares to twenty and fifteen DAYS respec-
lively. Five minor accomplices are fined 16f
each. The revolver shot fired by Nine. de

not consider serious, was only punished by ST
