Sale of the saturday review.

Mr.. John o. Hardesty, until recently proprie
tor of the Terre Haute Courier, has purchased
the Saturday Review of this city from Dennis &
Metcalf, its proprietors, tie consideration not
being made public. The formal transfer will
take place Monday, and Mr.. Hardesty intends to
make the paper the organ of the young Repub-
licans of the State, as well as a general literary
and family newspaper. He has had large expe-
rienee in the business, and will enter upon his
new enterprise with the best wishes of every
body. The Review was started by the late
George c. Harding and Mr.. Dennis, and, since
the death Of the former, Mr.. Dennis has had the
exclusive management, efficient assistance being
rendered in the editorial department by Mrs.
Gertrude Garrison. The paper was ably edited,
its original matter being Of decided literary
merit, while it's selections were interesting and
readable. Neither Mr.. Dennis nor Mrs. Garrison
has decided plans for the future.

A Curious Monstrosity.

Fletcher NJ. Noe, the young taxidermist of this
city, has just completed the mounting Of a most
curious and wonderful monstrosity. 1t is a lamb
which was born on the farm of John Vanerder,
in Van Buren, township, Grant county, and by
him presented to MIR. Higbee, of Marion, Ind.
Though born alive, it only lived q short time. 1t
has seven legs, two tails, and a double mouth.
From the head to six inches back Of the neck it
is perfectly natural except the double mouth),
but from that point the body divides, each
half forming a complete body, with two legs
and a tail. The hind legs, although per-
feet in shape, all turn in different
directions, On the middle of the back, Just in
front OF where the bodies branch, is the seventh
leg, the lower part of which Is very slender, but
beyond the first Joint 1t branches and forms two
large, well-develOped feet. The bones in this leg
were so arranged as to make the feet stand sev-
eral inches above the back. The mouth is aleO a
curious m.!formatiOn, the bones in the lower
jaw being placed in such q manner as to keep
the jaws apart two inches. To the end OF the
lower jaw is attached another jaw OF solid bone,
which has a well-developed row of teeth growing
from each side. This bone is placed in such a
manner as to close up the month. Mr.. Noe made
a careful dissection of the body, whi3h revealed
the fact that from the neck back tine creature
had two perfect baekbopes, and that each of
the bones in the various legs were naturally
fastened to it. IL also had two sets of intestines
and two lungs, but only one heart.

Romeo L. DePuy, administrator of the estate
OF Thomas b. McCarty, filed a petition with the
board, asking that the county assessor be ordered
10 assess the Sherman House at So, 900 instead
of 900, the present assessment. The reason
given for the request is that the expense of re-
building the portion of wall, recently torn down
by order of the authorities, is SO great that it
cannot be done unless they can have relief from
excessive taxation. The matter will be consid-
sred to-day.

An AttorneY,s Opinion,

In a letter to Governor Porter relative to the
metropolitan police bill, one of the most promi-
nent lawyers in Indiana, who lives at Evansville,
says: "Iregardit as outrageous in principle and
likely, under the present administration here, to
be a curse to our city. l also regard the bill,
irrespective of former rulings of our Supreme
Court, as unconstitutional, being in spirit in
violation Of the provisions of the constitution
against local and special legislation. Should the
Republicans carry the spring elections, which
they are likely to do, I shall advise a contest Of
the law" The writer of the foregoing is no
politician, but is a gentleman thoroughly de-
voted to his profession as a lawyer, and in all
that pertains has few peers in Indiana.

Bishop-Flect Nicholson.

The Philadelphia Times, OF Thursday, says of
the election of Rev. Isaac L. Nicholson to be
Bishop of Indiana.
"The Rev. DR.. Nicholson received with great
surprise last night the announcement contained
in the dispatch. To a Times reporter he said
that he was very uncertain about accepting the
distinguished honor so unexpectedly offered to
him. Il would have been thankful he remarked
thoughtfully, IF this had not come to me. l do
not feel that | could positively say tonight what
| shall do. My work in ST. Marks is of such an
important character and there are so many re-
spOnsioilities growing out of 1t that 1t cannot be
easily laid down. Ii is not as If 1t were a small
parish, with few cares. We have large projects
for church extension under way, and our nu-
merous charitable organizations, with their at
tendant financial inteterests, have grown into my
life so completely that 1 really do not see how I
can abandon them. In any event it will take two
or three weeks for me to arrive at a decision.

of Indiana he will be the youngest member OF
the Episcopacy of his church. -

The Value Of Manner

We have heard it said that you can do
everything, however unpleasant it may
be to those around you, if YOU only do
it in the right way; and the instance
given to prove the truth of this asser-
ton is taken from humble life. A cat
walks daintily into a room on cold
winters day, and with benign glance
at the company and n melodiOus pur-
ring sound she walks leisurely around,
selects for herself the warmest place in
the room perhaps the only warm
place, right in front of the fire-curls
herself up and goes serenely to sleep,
secure that no one will be so unreasOn-
able as to question her right to sleep
wherever inclination prompts her to
sleep. No one calls it selfish, no one is
ANNOYED, because she has done it so
prcttily and gracefully. Indeed every
one experiences an access of warmth
and comfort in themselves, from behold
ing pussy'S hliSsful repoSe. Now, i'm
agine the same thing done in different
way, and V a less self-pOssessed indi-
vidual- it were done hurriedly, or
MOSTLY. or clumsily, or difiidently even,
or in any way obtrusively, what a storm
of Indignation it would excite in the
bosoms of all beholders? How thought
less, how inconsidcrate, how selfish!
No, it must be done as the cat does it,
without sound or gesture to provoke
criticism, or it must not be done at all.

Opium Dens In London.

An alarmist cry has been raised by q
missionary lately returned from China
As to the spread of opium-smoking in
London. The Rev. George Piercey,
whose pamphlet, THE Chinese in Lon
don," has recently been published at
Sc PateTnOster Row, asserts that
opium-smoking is on the increase in
London, and that unless vigorous meas
ures are taken forthwith we shall be
face to face with vice compared with
which even intemperance is compare
lively innocent. Six opium dens, he
saws, are known to have been in exist
ence in the east of London in 1881, and
their number has probably increased.
As yet, although he believes the num-
Der of secret "lay-outs" for opium
smoking is increasing. it is not in this
country but in America where the
growth of opium smoking can be most
clearly trf red in all its baneful conse-
ouences. There are twenty opium dens
in New York, and no fewer than 10000
white men and women who are regular
or occasional opium smokers in the
United States. In San Francisco the
vice early assumed such serious dimen-
sions as to lead to special legislation
against it. The opium smokers not of
Chinese extraction in that city are said
to number 200. In New York they are
800 strong. "All towns of any note in
the United States, and more especially
i'm the West. have their smoking dens
and their habitues." Regular opium
resorts have been established at Mar
burgh, and at Philadelphia the opium
parlor kept by Mrs. Chism, a pale, re-
fined-looking woman about thirty-tive
years of age, is said to be frequented by
some of the wealthiest ladies in the City
of Brotherly Love. Much more lauda-
mum is taken in England than most
people imagine, and it is quite possible
that the habit of opium smoking may
establish itself in this country. As yet,
fortunately, the opium business is not
a vested interest with which it is dam
gerous to NEEDLE, but who knows what
may not come to pass in the next dozen
years Pail Mall Gazette.

A Climbing Horse.

A dark bay mare belonging to DR..
Thomas s. Stevens, the Green Street
dentist, whose stable is on Cooper
Street. near Market, accomplished a
wonderful feat this morning. She had
been driven to the stables, unhitched
from the buggy and left standing inside
united while the cOlored hOstler as
cended to the hay NOV. His surprise
may be imagined, on having his atten-
ton drawn toward that quarter by a
peculiar noise, to see the head and
shoulders of this sagacious animal APP
pearing up the stairway, which she
climbed in safety and which is quite
steep and contains twenty-five steps.
The hostler had doubtless been tardy
in putting down the hay for the mare $
dinner, and she had become tired of
waiting. DIR. Stevens said he had little
doubt that she would follow him down
again without danger, but as she is a
valuable animal and quite a pct he
hardly cared to take the risk. Instead
she was allowed to walk right into the
hay NOW. AT noon carpenters built an
inclined plane from the hay NOW door
to the opposite side of the street, upon
which the adventurous animal de-
scended with perfect security. -2rer'-
