Indianapolis Inklings

INDIANAPOLIS, December 3.-Pres-
ident-eIect Harrison had quiet day,
and was at work in his library most of
the time. General James Longstreet,
of Georgia, accompanied by Hon. E.
Angler of Atlanta, and E. G. Atkins, of
this city, were among the callers this
afternoon. The President-elect con-
versed half an hour or longer with the
famous Southern soldier. This eve
ming, General Harrison dined at the
residence of Mr.. Atkins. The other
guests were General Longstreet, E.
Angler DIR. Wilson and half a dozen
Indianapolis visitors. General Long
street tells a reporter that there
is not the least bit of political
Significance in his visit. When
asked what the south wanted, the
vsteran laughingly replied: 1T wants
everything. It wants the earth If it can
get it, but it wants more than any,
thing else the good, honest and friendly
spirit manifested toward it. We simply
want to be treated kindly and
considerably.

ANARCHIsTIC WORK,

A desperate aud coolest blooded at
tempt to commit murder occurred
early this morning in the bakery of
James P. Bruce. About three years
ago he took poor, homeless German,
named George Hacker, in his employ
and taught him the trade. Hacke r
gradually developed into a full blown
Anarchist, and when conversing on
the subject of Anarchy, would grow ex-
cited and abusive. This morning, when
Bruce entered the bakery to mix -four
for his bread, Hacker sprang upon him,
armed with Ratchet and long knife.
! He struck Bruce on the head with his
Ratchet, then he crowded the dszed
victim against the wall and deliberately
PLUNGED THE DAGGER INTO
Bruces' neck and face nine times. The
victim cried out for his wife and the
brave woman rushed into the room and
clutched the blood bespattered Anarch-
ist about the neck, dragging him away
| from her husband just as he was lifting
the Ratchet to brain the helpless man.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, December 3.-Long be
fore the hour of meeting of the second
session of the Fiftieth Congress the pub
lie galleries were filed with spectators
On the floor handshaking was INDUCED
in, and congratulations on re- election
or condolences on defeat exchanged
among the members. Jocose raillery
on the part of Republicans, patient
resignation on the part of Democrats
were everywhere evident.
Republican members who are promi-
nently mentioned in connection with
the speakership, came in for an extra
share of fluctuations, it being generally
conceded on the floor that the next
House will be Republican with from
three to seven majority.
When Randall entered the chamber,
which he did at a few moments before
noon, he was surrounded by his friends,
desir Gus of expressing their pleasure at
seeing him once more able to resume
his congressional duties.
CALLED TO ORDER.
At precisely II O'Clock the fall of the
gavel stilled the tumult which existed
in the hall, and silence reigned while
the chaplain offered prayer.
Roll was then called, and the hum of
conversation broke out afresh. During
the progress of the call of members,
Cleveland entered the executive gallery
and became<he attention of spectator.
The call developed the presence of
tWenty-three members, there being
eighty eight absentees.
On motion of Mills, of Texas. a reso-
luton was adopted, directing the clerk
to inform the Senate quorum of the
House had appeared, and the House
was ready to proceed to business.
In accordance with the resolution, the
Speaker appointed committee to join
a similar committee appointed by the
Senate to wait on the President and in
form him that Congress was ready to
receive anything he might transmit
The House then, at 1920, took recess
| for an hour.

How to Smoke a Cigar.
From Tobacco.

From Tobacco.
Never buy cheap cigars There is nc
economy in it. IF you can't afford good
cigars, smoke less and enjoy your smoke,
It is folly to think little cigars are the best
You cannot tell whether cigar is good
or bad unless you light it properly-that
is, thoroughly. A good cigar will not be
much better than poor one if badly
lighted.
If your cigar goes out, be sure to blow
through it as soon as possible, so that when
you light it there will be no dead smoke
in it.
Leave the ashes on your cigar as long as
possible. Your Cigar will burn straighter
and taste sweeter if you do,
If you think smoking injurious to your
health, stop smoking in the morning. A
great many people have stomachs out Of
order, and no man ailing in that way can
smoke before or Immediately after breakfast.
The best time to smoke is after dinner and
after supper. Smoking would not hurt a
baby if this rule was adopted.
Never give anybody q light from your
cigar Garry matches.
In buying cigars select those that are
fresh, or in condition that when rolled
gently between the thumb and finger no
cracking sound Is heard; or, if you buy a
a dry one, place it in fresheniDg box,
one in which the whole box of cigars can
be placed preferred, so as not to be in con-
tact with metal.

The Festive cockroach.

The keeper of restaurant in Detroit,
whose premises were infested with reaches,
tells how he got rid of the pests. He says:
"0ne night some one happened to leave a
cake box-one of those japanned tin affairs
standing open. Next morning about a
pint of cockroaches were found in the box.
They had been able to climb the outer sur
face and get inside, but the interior surface
was too smooth for them to scale; and they
were ccrralled. Well, that put an idea in
my head. l went to work next evening
and steamed some cake, SO that the insect
could smell it long distance, and put it
in the box. Next morning ] had about a
half peck of the yermin. kept the thing
going for about week, and captured every
cockroach in the house. This is something
that cockroach-ridden people should know
about.

Will 1888 be a Year of War P

The present year is the fifth year of
modern times in which the aggregate of
the figures is 25, and there will be but five
more years in which such a combination
is possible prior to the year 2599. Proba-
bly, but few have ever heard of the old
prophecy, which runs as follows
In svery future year of our Lord.
When the sum of the figures is twenty-five,
Some wariike kingdom will draw the sword,
But peaceful nations in peace shall thrive.
Students Of modern history will readily
recall how faithfully this prophecy has
been fulfilled in the four previous years to
which it applied.
In 1899 Russia, Denmark and Poland
formed the coalition against Sweden which
inaugurated the great war that ended in
the disastrous defeat of Charles XII. at
Pultowa.
The year 1889 will ever be memorable
on account of the breaking out of the
French Revolution.
1898 witnessed the campaign of Bona
parte in Egypt and the formation of the
second European coalition against France.
In 1879 war broke out between England
and Afghanistan, followed by the invasion
of the latter country by British troops.
In what manner the prediction is to be
verified in 1888 remains yet to be seen, but
the present condition of Europe seems to
promise an abundant ful6llment of the
prophecy. philadelphia Inquirer,

Mutton suet.

A writer in the Herald Of Health says;
It is very vexing and anoying, indeed, to
have ones lips break out with cold sores,
but like the measles, it is far better to
strike out than to strike in. A drop Of
warm mutton suet applied to the sores at
night, just before retiring, will soon cause
them to disappear This is also an excel
lent remedy for parched lips and chapped
hands. 1t should be applied at night in
the liquid state, well rubbed and heated in
before brisk fire, which often cause a
smarting sensation, but the roughest of
hands, by this treatment, will often be re-
stored to their natural condition by one
application. If every one could but know
the healing properties Of so simple thing
as little mutton suet, no housekeeper
would ever be without it. Get little
from your butcher, try it out yourself, run
into small cakes and put away ready for
use. For cuts and bruises it is almost in
dispensible, and where there are children
always there are plenty of cuts and hruis-
es. Many deep cash that would have
frightened most women into sending for a
physician at once, I have healed with no
other remedies than little mutton suet
and plenty of good CASTLE soap. A wound
should always be kept clean, aud the ban
dages changed every day, or every ether
day. A drenching of warm soap suds
from the puTeat soap that can be obtained
is not only cleansing but healing; then
cover the surface of the wound with bit
of old white muslin dipped into melted
mutton suet. Renew the drenching and
the suet every time the bandages are chang
ed, and you will be astonished to see how
rapidly the ugliest wound will heal.

A Word for Fathers and Mothers

From the N. 7. Herald.
"All the world loves a lover" says
Emerson in one of those profound observa-
tions which have no special meaning, and
are profound in this that they are nnintel-
ligible. An elopement is an attractive
event, and hundreds and thousands of our
young people are told of it every week in the
'pure and harmless" love stories Of the
sensation weeklies. Recently we have had
two in Washington, which the correspon-
dents have written up fully. One of the
young clipping parties has returned to her
parents and wants the marriage annulled.
She has rf5babfy discovered how little
time it takes for the parsdaS. perform
the ceremony and how much time after
ward she has to consider it. This is not
a new discovery.
In these elopement cases there is good
deal of gush about young love and Romeo
and Juliet business, and climbing over bal
comics; and there are no doubt many
milliners.and typewriters dreaming of their
Reginald Montmorency Plantagenets and
midnight rides to happiness. But believe
in fathers and mothers A girls parents
are, as a general thing, her best friends,
They live for her happiness and die con-
tent if she is happy. They are apt to
know all about young man, whether he
can give her happiness, protection and love,
Reasonable marriages are not lightly put
aside, as woman's chances for marrying
go in our curious, unsympathetic eiviliza-

BRIDGING THE ENGLISH CHANNEL
The London Times states that scheme
for the erection of bridge over the Eng
lish Channel is in active consideration
among French capitalists and engineers.
The projected bridge would be 22 miles
long, resting on piers of concrete and ma
sonry 160 feet long by 100 broad, placed
at intervals of $40 yards. The causeway
of the bridge would be 160 feet above the
sea level, to permit the passage of ships,
and would be 100 feet wide. The esti-
mated cost is 5000, 100000 1t appears
that the channel is not SO deep as is gener-
ally supposed. There are shadows out
from Folkstone not over 20 feet from the
surface, the depth from these shadows to
the shore on either side varying from 100
to 16c feet.

Precocious Children.
;tom the R0pulqr seienee MonthIu.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
There are but few parents who are not
pleased when their children show unusual
brightness. Such children attract the
notice and admiration of others and minis
ter to the vanity of father or mother;
but precocity in child is thing to be re
GREETED rather than encouraged.
Few precocious children rise above the
average in adult life Rather the tenden-
cy is to fall below it. During early child
hood-say the first seven years-the brain
is imperfect both in form and substance,
and any strain then put upon it is at the
expense of future vigor.
One trouble is that the brain of such
child tends of itself to dangerous activity;
and another is that the fond parent is almost
sure, sometimes unconsciously and some
times purpOsely, to push it to the limit Of
its power.
What the parent should do is to hold
the child away from schools and books and
exhibitions, from talk above its years and
from admiring friends, and to keepit down
to childish mates and sports and simple
outdoor activities. Ifitshould not learn its
letters until eight years of age 50 much the
hetter.
The constant and serious aim should be
to draw away the tendency of blood to the
brain; to build up the material organiza-
ton and give the brain chance to build
itself up for the solid work of life-the
furnishing of the working force for every
organ of the body as well as of the mind.
The Washingtons, the Waylands and
the Websters have not come of precocious
children, and our present knowledge of
physiology and pathology would have en-
abled US to say beforehand that they were,
on the whole, rather duller than their
young mates.
As rule the precocious child is of a
scrofulous diathesis, with a fair, brilliant
complexion, blue eyes and golden hair,
beautiful to look on, according to popular
standards. He is deliberately sensitive to
mental impressions, and alive to the con-
versation of persons much older than he.
He generally goes on in his unique
career, outstripping his brothers and sisters,
as well as his schoOlmates, in the commit
ing Of tasks at school, as well as in the
reading of hooks far beyond their eompre-
hensiop,
This generally goes on until the age of
puberty, when he begins to falter. The
hectic flush is seen upon his fair cheek.
the eye becomes more brilliant, and the
finer and more spiritual elements come out
with almost supernatural intensity.
By and by slight cough and phthisis
tuberculosis has laid the foundation Of
premature death.

SOMEWHERE.
BY ALFRED corEL SHAW.

Somewhere the wind is blowing.
thought as toiled along
In the burning heat of the noontlde.
And the fancy made me strong.
Yes, somewhere the wind is blowing.
Though here, where gasp and sigh,
Not breath of air is stirring,
Not cloud in the burning sky.
Somewhere the thing we long for
Exists on earth s wide bound,
Somewhere the sun is shining
When winter nips the ground.
Somewhere the flowers are springing.
Somewhere the corn is brown,
And ready unto the harvest
To feed the hungry town.
Somewhere the twilight gathers.
And weary men lay by
The burden Of the daytime.
And wrapped in slumber lie.
Somewhere the day is breaking,
And gloom and darkness fee;
Though storms our bark are tossing,
There's somewhere placid sea.
And thus, thought, lis always
In this mysterious life.
There's always gladIIcss somewhere,
In spite of its pain and strife:
And somewhere the sin and sorrow
OF earth are known no more,
Somewhere our weary spirits
Shall find peaceful shore.
Somewhere the things that try us
Shall all have passed away.
And doubt and fear no longer
Impede the perfect day.
o brother, though the darkness
Around thy soul be cast,
The earth is rolling sunward,
And light shall come at last.
