Lawrenceburg Special, April 10.
Sixty years ago April IS, John Callahan
and Mary Swift were married in Harden
town, Ind, by Esquire Carter. Mr.. Callahan
gives as reason for being married by
esquire" that preachers in those days were
scarce; that they went on their circuit and
would be gone eight weeks so it was hard to
catch one at the right time. They were
married on Sunday. Monday Mr.. Callahan
went to Lawrepceburg and employed car
penter to make a chest for their wardrobe"
and table and bedstead. He bought half
dozen chairs, a few cooking utensils, and on
Wednesday they were keeping house. They
still have the same chest, table and three of
the chairs. He rented ground and raised a
good crop of corn that summer, loaded it in a
fat-boat that fall, and started with it to New
Orleans, but the boat ran on snag and sunk
at the mouth of the Miami river. The next
year most of their earnings were expended
in doctors bills; but both were possessed of
the good but rare qualities, honesty, indus
try and pluck. The third year prosperity
smiled, and in seven years $4,000 was their
financial increase Their prosperity contin-
ued until Mr.. c., was fifty years of age, when
ne retired from business. They are both
remarkably well preserved physically, and
have good prospect for many more years of
life
On the day of their anniversary, Joseph
Croft and wife, e. D. Moore and WIFE George
Hadel and wife, and Rev. M. L. Wells and
wife called to congratulate them. After the
company had gathered around the table, Rev.
Mr.. Wells, in short, address on behalf of the
company, presented them with beautiful
clock, Mr.. Callahan responding in few fit
ting remarks of thanks.
Mr. Callahan is eighty-six years of age, and
Mrs Callahan is seventy eight. They have
lived in their present home in Lawrenceburg
forty-eight years. Had it not been for the
damp condition of their house, caused by the
late food they had intended to celebrate
their anniversary by entertaining a large
number of their friends

newed their demand for a constitutional
representative Assembly, to be chosen at
popular elections. He at first was dis
posed to be liberal, but the nobility pre-
vailed, and the old attempt TO wall IN Rus
STA from the assaults of democratic ideas
was renewed. Since then there have been
one or two periods when it appeared as II
the Gar would follow the dictates of WIS

WINGED of the loyalty of the masses OF the
people to the Empire, and that the grant
of privileges does not mean the overthrow
of his throne, as has been the constant
preaching of the imperialist counselors by
whom he is surrounded. There is some
evidence also that the Russian statesmen
are not so blind as to fail to realize the fact
that in the march of ideas the rigors of i'm
perialism must be relaxed voluntarily, or
the people will undertake the task them
selves, and will ultimately succeed, and
hence there is the hope that Russian paci.

MILK AND PsvgR.

1t mas developed that the recent phe-
nomenal outbreak Of typhoid fever at Port
Jervis was due 20 the use of milk obtained
from dairy where the fluid was charged
with the diseased germs. This, in the
opinion of the State Board of Health of
New York, establishes as fact that the
unsanitary condition of a dairy farm may
be the means of conveying diseases to those
who use milk from that source. This opens
up new phase OF sanitary science-the
necessity of proper drainage and other
sanitation on farms daily supplying food to
the people. 1t is certain that in the wells
near foul earth, or cesspools or noxious
drains, the water is liable to contamina-
ton, and by its use in the dairy the germs
of the disease may be easily disseminated.
The sanitary inspection of the dairy is likely
to be made health regulation hereafter in

LIMITING REPRESENTATION

There is merit in the proposition of
Congressman Herbert to limit the repre-
sentation in the lower House to fixed
figure, say 35l. The time must come when
the body will be too unwieldy for our sys-
tenn. We can more easily adjust and fix
the limit for the future now than at any
other time. Representation cannot keep
pace with population at its present rate of
increase, and give US practical working
body in Congress, fresh from the people.
Bat it is 4 very serious question as to how
the fixed adjustment shall be arrived at,
and the representative system take nc
harm. 1t is . question that must very
