A Singing Couple.

The history Of opera could record many in
stances where the presence of husband and
wife on the same stage has been forced upon
an impresario to enable him to secure one Of
the pair. As rude, however, it Invariably
transpires that the famous prima donna is
weighted with an incompetent husband, or
vice versa, and as the pair, like two headed
nightingale. cannot be separated, the mana
ger endures and pays both for the sake Of
one Such couples are SO affectionate that
they cannot bear to see a stranger step in and
play temporary Romeo to the opposite
Juliet-a state of things which Is satisfactory
enough suppose, to all but the subscribers
to the theatre and the managers talzings
Ansari, a tenor Of the opera house in 1850,
and his wife affected such partnership; but
he had such a vile temper, and In marrying
Signofa Maccherini had claimed so desperate
a virago that the pair upset the usual order
of things-they could scarcely be trusted to
meet on the same stage So fearfully jealous
were they of each other that If one happened
to be applauded more than the other these
smable beings resorted to the lively occupa
ton of employing persons to hiss one another
off the stage This was from all accounts
very unhappy union.-Gentleman's Maya
zine.

How a Convict Is Searched.

'You have no idea, Mr.. KEENAN," said
Capt. Nikolin, show INSCRIPTIONS they are,
and how much criminal skill they show in
concealing forbidden things and in smuggling
letters into and out Of prison. Suppose that
you were going to search political convict
as thoroughly as possible, how would you
do it?'

and make a careful examination of his cloth

with surprised air.
l said that no other course Of procedure
suggested itself to me just at that moment.
Would you look in his ears?"
"No," answered; II should not think Of
looking in his ears"

Again replied in the negative.

Unintention.l Cruelty.

The other night he Listener had a call
from friend who drove his own horse to the
door and remained seated In his buggy while
engaged in conversation. The Listener no.
ticed that the horse from time to time tossed
his head in the air, throwing his nose upward
as he did so. Il was possibly, the Listener
thought at first, a mere movement Of impa-
thence on the part Of spirited horse; but
presently, as the gentleman drove on, he no
ticed that the horse repeated the movement,
with sort of desperation, after he had start
ed into trot. It was simply case of the
cruel overhead check rem; the unfortunate
animal, wearied almost beyond endurance
by the ceaseleSs strain on his neck, continually
threw his head upward In a vain attempt to
ease the pressure. The gentleman who drove
and owned this horse Is by no means hard
hearted man. He is, on the contrary, well
known among his friends to have to his credit
many quiet acts of benevolence and genuine
humanity. Since the merciful man Is merci-
full to his beast, how can humane man tor
ture a horse that he is proud Of and very
likely fond Of? Probably from sheer inatten-
ton to the matter. When friend of the
Listener ventured to loosen the overhead
check rein of horse ON the street the other
day the animal stretched out its neck with q
groan of relief and touched his benefactor's
face with his nose as if to express his graft
tude The owner of the animal witnessed the
movement, and, instead Of finding fault, he
acknowledged that it had never occurred to
him that the overhead check rein was pain
full to horse.--Boston Transcript.

1t Might Have been Worse.

When Charles Barron was the leading man
at the Boston museum he was a little king
among the members of the company. The
only actor in the lot who dared 10 chaff hin,
was Alfred Hudson, very useful but by no
means utility" member, w1o played Sec
ond parts, old mems roles and the like. Bar
ron was forever denouncing the fate which
made him an actor instead Of a tradesman,
or a mechanic, or a lawyer, and his remarks
were usually received in silence. One even
ing Barron had benefit, and he pretended to
be very much out of harmony with the affair,
although there was big audience in the
house.
"There, just listen to that!' he exclaimed
in the green room as round of applause
followed his exit from the stage. What q
farce this profession is, to be sure. Why
wasn't brought up green grocer or some
thing of that sortl / couldn't be any worse
OFF than am in being compelled to play here
tonight"
"Oh, yes, you might" retorted Hudson.
You might be sitting in front, witnessing
the performance of the leading man New

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1889-07-31
SLIPPERY MIR. OBERLY,

When Mr.. John III. Oberly was made
Civil-service Commissioner by President
Cleveland, people who knew him well
expressed a belief that only a miracle
could transform this wire-pulling Demo-
cratic politician into genuine reformer
and conscientious supporter of civil
service principles. That the miracle
was not worked was evident enough to
any observer who watched the course of
the commission while he remained a
member; but the discovery that fifteen
hundred pension cases were made
"speciar previous to election, by his
recommendation, is a tangible proof
that he must have spent considerable
part of his official time in assisting Com
missioner Black to "worko the Pension
Department for party purposes. That
he was not at ease in the Office for
which he was so i'll fitted was shown
by his eagerness to be transferred
to the Indian Bureau. In the latter
position he succeeded in impressing
the Eastern sentimentalists, who love
the Indians immensely at long range,
with the conviction that he was great
and good man in the right place. The
proof these special pension cases give Of
his pernicious political activity while
Civil-service Commissioner would seem
to indicate an equal unftness for the i'm
portant Office of Indian Commissioner,
and careful study of the facts and the
natural inference should help to recon-
Gle the .sentimentalists to his removal,
over which they are still mourning. A
man who would delay the consideration
of thousands of pension cases while GER
tain others of not more deserving appli-
cants were taken up out of order that
their votes might be gained, was not a
man to be trusted to control any depart
ment of government service.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1889-07-31

hoped they did not all pass a sleepless
night lamenting the approach of plu-
tocracy or sweat through a succession of
nightmares on which they imagined
themselves drifting, drifting into the
clutches of the patricians. We have not
time to look up what Mr.. Froude said on
this subject in his great sketch of
Julius Caesar, but we are quite sure II
would not apply to Greene county, nor
to any part of Indiana. All sta
tistics show steady increase In
the number of farmers and land
owners. Thus the number of farms in
Indiana increased from 131, 1926 in 1860 to
161, 2s9 in 1870 and 194,O13 in 1880. The
average size of Indiana farms was 105
acres in 1880, against 124 acres in 1860,
showing a steady movement towards
small farms. Of 1903 farms in 1880,
147,963 were cultivated by their owners,
$3.50 were rented for fixed money rent
al and 81, 46S were rented on shares. Out
of 1850 farms in Greene county, 2,146
were cultivated by the owners, rs were
rented for money and 526 were rented
