The political situation in Indiana

The political situation in Indiana
is candidly reviewed by a correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Ac-
cording to his statement, the election
Of last year was no criterion of the
strength of parties in the State. The
Democratic vote fell off less han
1000, while the Republican vote was
$4,000 smaller than in 1880. The
cause of the Democratic success in
1882 was due largely to the aid of the
liquor interest, but the action of the
legislature last winter demoralized
the saloon men, and it is doubtful if
their strength will be thrown solidly
again in favor of the Democracy. The
growth of manufacturers in the State
will inevitably hurt the Democrats
and aid the Republicans. From all
the circuma tances the correspondent
concludes that if the Democrats want
to carry Indiana next year they will
have to nominate man for President
who is at least 10000 votes stronger
than his party.

A Human Curiosity.

At the residence of Mr.. John E.
Miller, near SlanesvilIe, Hampshire
county, w. Va, may be seen child
prodigy, which indeed is a curiosity.
1t was born in Pennsylvania, Feb
ruary 1st, 1865. and is therefore
eighteen years old. 1t weighs ~
pounds, and is twenty-five inches in
height. This wonderful pigmy is of
the female sex. and is perfectly help
less, although it can cry Justify, and
partakes of no food save milk, which
is given to it through bottle. 1t is
very quick at noticing objects, and
knows what is told to it, but cannot
utter word. 1t is said that if any
of the family lay an article down in
the room where this child is, and for
get where it has been put, all they
have to do in order to find it is to in
quire of this helpless wonder, and it
will at once point to it. One OF the
most striking features of this wonder
full creature, aside from its diminutive
size, is its quick perception and re-
markable memory.-R0mney Int.

Tho PopuhIioopc of both Eavo

The Republicans of both Fayette
and Greene counties, Pa, on the 18th,
held their conventions, but no nomi-
nation was made for President Judge
in either county. The danger of the
election of Thomas b. Searlght which
threatens the district is fully appre-
ciated, and the Republicans of both
counties are waiting to see what the
Democrats of Greene will do in the
way of presenting the right kind ola
man against Starlight. The district
is strongly Democratic, but there
should be no consideration of politics
in matter like this. That there is
a strong Republican sentiment in ia
vor of supporting a proper sentiment
against Starlight is evidenced by the
action of yesterdays conventions.
This, however, is not all. The intel
ligent Democrats of the district
should be willing to supp TT capa.

the bench from disgrace. There is
apparent disposition all through the
district to do the right thing .-Phita.

The cholera epidemic in Egypt APP
pears to be rapidly assuming more
serious phase. Thirty-seyen more
victims of it died in Dalnietta on
Tuesday Of last week, aud the disease
has made its appearance at Mnnsura
and Port Said. Europeans are fleeing
from Alexandria. While the progress
of a cholera epidemic can be checked
if strict watch is kept upon all the
avenues along which it advances, yet
in these days of multifarious and
swift ways and means of travelling,
when men can circle the earth in a
few months, such an epidemic finds q
thousand loopholes where formerly it
had but one broad road to follow, and
therefore double watchtulness is ne
cessary. We do not want to take any
chances of having a repetition of the
cholera epidemic of 1865 and 1866,
which starting from India in April
1865, and crossing the Atlantic to
New York, spread through the Uni
ted States in the following year,

AS the Democratic vote of Balti-
more city is the one mainly relied
upon to carry the State candidates
through in general election, the re-
cent primary contest was regarded
with much concern by the Democratic
wire-pullers and manipulators in the
several counties. The result does not
prove very satisfactory. The har-
mony so loudly proclaimed as having
been restored to the discordant fac
tions of the city Democracy was very
effective in a nearly equal division of
the vote polled by the regulars and
the Young Democrats. The bitterest
struggle that has ever been made by
any two factions of any party will be
made this summer and fall by the
Democratic factions of Baltimore
city. The regulars are strongly en-
trenched behind the city offices, and
they will make desperate fight to
hold on. The Young Democrats cam
not possibly defeat them single
handed. Whichever side puts cam
didates in the field is sure to have
the other one working against them.
Under such state of circumstances,
the Republicans of Baltimore city are
masters of the situation, and it is to
be hoped they will SO organize them
selves as to make the most of their
position.-Balto. Co. Union.

OrioLe Summer Nights CdrmivaIUhich
will be a series Of Striking Novelties.
Something of the Unparalleled Pro
gronanae Uhich is being arranged.

Baltimore evidently takes to mys-
tic pageantry and its attendant splen-
doris with vim equal to that mani
tested in Mardi Gras jollities in New
Orleans, and an enterprise never be-
fore equaled anywhere in such sort
of thing. The preparations, for this
years festivities, which will embrace
the three days from September 18th
to 18th inclusive, have already been
actively under way for two months
or more. In the way of pageant,
it would be difficult to imagine a
more extensive or brilliant pro-
gramme than that laid out. The
number of tableau cars will be double
that ever before attempted in any
single parade elsewhere. and in di-
mension, gorgeous construction and
superb finish will certainly bear of
the palm of the world.
The wonderful strides which have
of late been made with electric light
will be turned to striking advantage
as this character of illumination will
be introduced in many novel forms.
The first nights display, made in
honor of the arrival of Lord Balti-
more, will be as unique as it will
be magnificent. 1t is proposed to
arm the military with electric lights
in at least ten different colors; to
place the powerful electric focus light
at many points to fairly turn night
into day, and in many more ways
make the night memorable one.
The feature of this years Oriole

been termed Summer Nights Car

Blaine and the Republican Party.

The Press is able to state that
while Mr., Blaine did not agree with
President Arthur's views in relation
to South American matters, he is on
very friendly terms with the Presi-
dent, and speaks of him with high
regard, 1t may also be stated that
Mr.. Blaine believes that in 1884 the
great issue will be the tariff question;
that the people of this country favor
the protective policy, and will there
fore keep the Republican party in
power. The people will hear from
Mr.. Blaine in the next Presidential
contest, and he will deal effectual
blows for the success of the Republic

success, and takes as much interest
in political events as he ever did.

By recent decision of the Court of

to what they have already drawn.
There has already been paid for eX-

The Postal Service.
Wheeling, June %.

The newspapers and the inventions
for transmitting mail and intelligence
have worked marvellous change,
among other things, In letter writing.
Few men have time or inclination to
carry on correspondence with their
friends in distant cities, and when
they do write their letters treat of
some matter which is disposed of in
the feWest possible words. Then it
was different, and the men who had
fought together at the Brandywine,
who had stood shoulder to shoulder
at Trenton and Germantown, and
had shared each others rags at VAL
ley Forge, took pleasure in commu-
nicating with each other as often as
possible. Their letters contained
many items which now are found in
the papers under the head of general
news. The prices of various articles
of use, the cost of living, the last elec-
ton, the current opinion of the day,
were all found in letters simply be-
cause they could be gathered from nc
other source. Practically there was
no such thing as mail. Less than
