"SELLlNG" A NEWSPAPER.
A Renaissance of 1856, Suggested by the
Death of Old Joe Lawson.

The death Of Joe Lawson reminds an old
timer of mean practical joke played on the
Cincinnati Enquirer in 1856. There was living
then in Indianapolis, an old clubfoosed negro,
known as Colonel" Rhodes. He picked up
penny now and then by ringing auction bells,
or the bell when child was lost,
which he always accompanied with
the most grotesque speeches that
mortal man ever listened to, keeping everybody
in spasm of laughter. About that time 'Joe''
was in his prime, always sober, always dirty
and always about equally sought and Stunned.
Those who remember that campaign will call to
mind that principle Democratic stock in the
campaign was to give the lie to everything ut
tered by the Republicans. All that was said de-
rogatory to the border rufianism of Kansas was
dismissed with the phrase, ''Thats black Re-
publican lie."
During the campaign some Republican wag at
Indianapolis generally supposed to be Berry
Sulgrove), got up, out of whole cloth, a most
flaming account of a tremendous Democratic
outpouring at Martinsville to which the thou
sands came, and the immense multitude was
addressed by Colonel Rhodes and Gen. Joseph
De Lausanne, of Indianapolis whose fiery elo-
Black Republicans to the route horse,
foot, and dragons 1t was an
excellent imitation of the genuine Demo
cratic method of reporting meetings, and the
Enquirer gave it a prominent place. as from its
special correspondent" That was long before
the use of the telegraph in reporting columns of
news. The Enquirer reached indianapolis about
noon, and a broad laugh was INDUCED in gener
ally. But some sober minded Democrat gen
orally supposed to have been the late John
NJ. Talbot. took occasion to drop line to the
Enquirer informing it that it had been imposed
upon-that 40" Lawson was an idiot and Old
Rhodes was club footed negro, the fun maker
of the town. This appeared in the Enquirer the
next day, and everybody supposed that the mat
ter was ended; but the next days Enquirer came
out with nearly half column of the vilest abuse
of the Infamous Black Republican who had
dared to indite such lie against two of the best
known and most honorable citizens of Indianapo-
lis The writer maintained that NJ. De Lausanne
was a brilliant scholar. profound politician and
descended from French family of distinction,
while Colonel" Rhodes was without a rival at
the Indianapolis bar, and one of the ablest men
in the State The wonder was not that the first
sell was printed, but that for the sake of getting
in it's work on the lying black Republicans, a
place was readily made for the second.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Dairymen and Shopkeepers with Poetical In.
cliDations-ApprOpriate Names for Homes.

A dairy wagon with the odd name Wash
Dye Dairy pervades the West Side. It is not
Wash. Dyes Dairy" which would be intelli-
gible, but just as it is given in this paragraph.
Our dairy wagons are about the only practical
contrivances with poetical names that we have
in Indianapolis. "Rosedale," and Hazel Dell"
and Beech Grove" and "Robinwood," and a
score more Of the same cast indicate Hoosier
sensibility to poetcal influences; but still we
lamentably inferior to the French, who
have pet names" for dry goods stores,
and groceries, and tin shops, and
and tailors palaces, and all sorts
business as Rod of Aaron" "Acts of the Apos-
ties" Cradle of Jesus" The last, "Berceau de
Jesu," was the name about the time of the
''decheanes," of huge store, for the sale of
shirts and drawers and the like, near the Louvre.
The fashion of naming business houses suggests
that naming residence from some feature OF its
scenery, history or associations which is as old
as the monarchy in England, is very new in the
West or at least in this region of it. About the
first that the reminiscent can recall in this State
nersville. which he called the "Old Elm" from
a huge tree of that kind in his lawn.
The late Ovid Butler was about the first
in or near this city to give special name to his
home place. Thatwas thirty and more years ago,
when he gave the name of Forest Home" to his
residence on the Noblesville road, now Central
avenue" at what is now the crossing of Home
avenue" but which nothing but a country
lane then. The late Calvin Fletcher once jest
ingly remarked that he ''had great mind to call
his residence" ION Virginia avenue, covering all
about the present site of Fletcher place Church)
Under the Big Elm" like the street in Berlin,
Under the Linden" because just across the
avenue and East street, in the middle of South
street, there was the finest tree that survived
the clearing of the site of the city. 1t was an
elm with trunk three feet through, or more,
and top or crown of foliage as
perfectly rounded as a potter could have
nodded it of clay on bis wheel, and so huge that
the tips of its limbs reached to the fences on
both sides of the street 1t was about sixty feet
high and fully ninety feet in diameter. Mr..
Fletcher wanted once to buy it, but nobody had
right to sell it, and the neighbors didn't
want it dug up or cut down Then he proposed
to fence it in at his own cost and preserve it,
but the neghbors didn't want the street blocked.
So the tree was left unprotected and died
score or more of years ago. The Fletcher home
stead never took the name of the big tree and the
reminiscent does not know that it ever had any
special name more than that usually given
hoosier homes ''Mr. Fletcher's house" or Jim
Smiths place, or tom Jones's property"

A Picnic for the Cows.

There are few places about the city where
wandering cows can find shade enough to cover
their horns, and to make up for the deficiency
they seek the river in droves of dozens together,
and stand midsides deep where the current is
strong enough to wash them we'll. Yesterday
morning the reporter counted eighty-fve in one
big clump in the ripple" below the 'abattoir,'
all city cows out for chance grass and ramble
among the weeds. A sort Of a picnic, in fact,
except that the victuals were found or the
ground when they were not partially taken
there in nominations on the way.
