Among the many arts for the infiic-
ton of pain, tattooing is at once the
most useless and revolving. The Yu-
kona Indians. of Alaska. follow this
method: Instead of pricking the stuff
in with sharpened bones or needles
they make paste out of charcoal and
grease, soak thread in it, punch a
needle through the flesh SO that
comes out at different hole from the
one where it entered, and then draw
the thread through under the skin.
The operation is painful. for the flesh
swells up and looks very much in

and wrists with pictures Of the nobler
animals or fish, but the women tattoo
their faces also These latter begin
the process when they are quite young.

significant things on their hands and
wrists, while they draw lines of differ
emit kinds on their chins and the. lower
part of their cheeks. AS rule this
tattooing is done entirely in blue, but
now and then there is an Indian who
has dottel red spots through the blue.

The lady writer's Of Washington
are not only numerous. but they are.
as rule. successful. While there cor
respondents or the sterner sex are to
be counted by hundreds, they are num-
bered by scores. and the work which
they accomplish is a peculiar and try
ing one, though popular as a feature
OF journalism, and at the same time
profitable to them. or those who
now give most of their time to society
work, there are large numbers. They
have society or association of their
own, sort Of press club. which
meets at the residences of some of the
members, and serves as a bond of
union, besides adding much to the
social and intellectual pleasures of the
members. Their work now is largely
given to picturing the events of the
day in the social world.
The work which they accomplish is
not only interesting to thousands and
thousands of readers, but important
as part of the picture. Of the daily
and nightly life of the capital Of the
greatest nation of the world. And
while they are sometimes accused of
inaccuracies and even more important
defects, their persistency in overcom-
ing obstacles which had often caused
the other sex to despair, their success
as news garherers, and the general
accuracy with which they picture the
events Of the day in the social world,
entitle them to great credit.

Garnets have not heretofore held
very high rank as jewelry except in
the eyes of those who own exception
ally fine specimens, or ladies to whom
their rich, half-hidden color is es-
pecially becoming. But they have
certainly of late acquired new inter-
est. Their possibilities are beginning
to be better understood, and their
pecuniary value has been greatly en-
HANGED simply by new and artistic
treatment. The old style of setting
garnets robbed them of half their
beauty. The stones were set on one
side only, and set with solid back
ground, which rendered them durable

Corn Prospects.

Mr.. j. B. Conner, of the Indiana Farmer.
which paper has an organized bureau of crop
correspondence. said to a Journal reporter yes
terday There has been no damage to corn in
Indiana by frost The crop in the southern part
of the State is now sufficiently matured to be
out of danger from frost. In the northern half
of the State the late corn, which is about 30
per cent of the crop in that section, might be
bur: from hard frosts during the next seven
days, but after that there will be no danger from
frosts in that part of the State. The general
crop, as to condition and yield in the State, will
be about the average. Some counties, taking
100 as an average, are reporting $50 per cent for
condition and probable yield. There will be
more bushels of merchantable corn grown in In
diana this year than was ever grown before.
There is no doubt about this

Acton Association Sued.

The hotel privileges. with those of selling GER
tain articles on the Acton camp ground have
been made a matt err of litigation. Erastus
Floyd and Adam Steagmeier claim that in July,
1881, they obtained fve-years' lease from the
Indianapolis District Camp meeting Association
of a building on the camp ground. with the ex-
elusive right and privilege of managing the
property hotel. They also say that the
lease covered the sole right to sell there cigars,
tobacco, nuts, fruits, candies lemonade.
soda water. melons, cakes, bread
and corrections They were to pay
under the lease. $3.50 per year. The Acton
Camp meeting Association succeeded the origi-
nal lessons in possession of the property, and it
is stated, expressly consented to Floyd and
Steagmeier fulfilling their lease. But it is
charged that in July of this year the association
elected them from the building and leased it to
Dinner, with the other rights and privileges
enumerated. Yesterday Floyd and Steagmeier
filed their complaint against the Acton Associa-
ton and the trustees and directors thereof for
81, 600 damages.

Briber D0wlinc's Case.

The Bowling matter is to 60 to the Supreme
Court, it is supposed, as his attorneys have
taken exceptions to Judge Ayres's judgment
dismissing the restraining order against Council.
However, the county clerk has not been request
ed to. make out the necessary transcript, and
in that Office it is thought none will be made un
less the service is paid for in advance, in addition
to payment of court costs already accrued.
Otherwise, bond will be required to cover all
the clerks fees However, mere appeal to the
Supreme Court does not act as writ of super
sedeas, and unless such writ is issued, the Coun-
Gil has power, since the dissolution of the re-
straiung order, to proceed under the law to expel
or exonerate Bowling If the writ were to issue,
which, however, is not probable, Council would
have to await decision by the Supreme Court
before taking further action. AS it is, the appeal
will not interfere with continuation of the in
vestigation.

gentleman we'll known in Indianapolis, and
who vouches for the truthfulness of the story,
writes to the Journal from North Vernon as
follows:
Some days since I noticed in your valuable
paper an item about some gentleman in Indian
apolis driving horse thirty three years old.
Shelbyville can see this horse, and go him eight
better. Mr.. George w. F. Kirk. prominent
citizen of Shelbyville. who is well known in In
dianapoiis and throughout Indiana in Masonic
circles. has a horse known Old Harry that is
forty-one years old. Mr.. Kirk drives him daily,
as occasion may require, and says that notwith-
standing 'Harrys' youth, he feels perfectly safe
when Mrs. Kirk or the children out alone
with him. Old Harry was very familiar to
horsemen in indianapolis and throughout the
State long before the war; as he at that time be-
longed to horse trainer who lived at Lebanon,
and had him trained to drive. and did drive him
around Indianapolis and other cities of the State
without bride or lines of any kind. l have
Mr. Kinks word for the above information be-

A Lawyers Opinion Causes q Suit.

A lot on State avenue has peculiar record in
the way of having title to it Quoted. It was
purchased in October, 1873. from christopher
Hickman by Augustus j. Lyon, who is described
in the deed of conveyance guardian of Luther
M. Lyon, a person of unsound mind. The
guardianship was created by the Orphans Court
of Baltimore Md. In 1874 Luther died. leav-
ing, by will, his property to Augusta M. Lyon,
and her minor son Luther NJ, a nephew of de-
ceased In time Augusta NJ. sold the lot to
Margaret P. Lyon. who, in February, 1875.
began suit against the seller and her
son Luther M. to have the title
quieted. Summons in this case
was made upon Luther by leaving copy at his
residence. A decree was given Margaret, who
in turn had about completed it's sale to certain
parties, when lawyer gave his opinion on the
abstract presented to him that there was cloud
upon the title He said that Margaret did not
sue with her husband as co plaintiff, which. with
the fact that the defendant was not served per
sonally with the summons, weakened the decree.
Yesterday Margaret and her husband Augustus
Il. Lyon, filed a complaint against Luther M.
Lyon to have this question settled and the title
reafirmed in plaintiff Margaret

DR.. j. T. Breeze, who boards at the Occidental
Hotel, was among the physicians subjected to
prosecution, few weeks ago. for practicing
without license He agreed not to practice
until he procured the necessary papers. 1t is
charged that Breeze has disregarded this agree
ment by continuing his profession. He claims
that he cannot get license. because he has

State Board of Health, filed against Breeze in
