Judge Ayres has refused to grant a di vorce to Jennie L. IJ-tKhman from Jacob A. I3atsghman. Tbe proof was to the eilect tbat Jacob failed to make provision and had been guilty of croel treatment. Toe ciurt thought tbat hasty language oace used did nzt constitute sufficient evidence of cruelty, acd it was p'ain that the defendant had nude tbe best provision be was able to make. Jude Taylor Saturday heard tbe evidence in tie divorce suit cf Evaline Glenn vs. Literly Glean. These are colored people and rere formerly slaves in North Carolina, whr tbey were married. After tbe war ended they were again married. In 1SS1 Literty whipped ner severely, for which reason she left him. Soon after tbat Eva Jine went to Virginia and then came to this city. A year ago Liberty also came Lere. Finally their troubles be came more than they were able to bfar and ehe tiled this euit fcr divorce. Liberty denied part of the charges, and justitied the balance by alleg ing adultery on the part of bis wife. Judge Taylor took tbe case under advisement. Snit for damages was filed Saturdav in tbe Superior Court against Henry 11. Sher idan by John S. Hamilton, the complaint concluding witn a demand for $3,000.

Tbey are allowed $10 per week, beides tue supply of feel. This ia fur food, as they Lave been abundantly supplied with e'ething, and tbey have no house rent to pay. Harrison was put on the stand, but he was not able to specify whtt was wanted in a satisfactory manner. His wife was then put on the stand and she aa even a greater failure than Harrison. Fi nally they were dismissed, and it was learned tbat the auardian for the old gentleman, who, by the way is his son. purchased for bim S10 worth of clothes last summer, and the old people are abundantly supplied with all they need. iron uiKinms. Another LZeetln? of the C. and O. R. Pool to Reconsider Percents Other Items Relative to Ballroads and Em ployes. The Bee Line's Pittsburg route is said to be a success, and tbey are sending a con tiderable amount of passenger business twit. The J., M. and I. folks are finding'a ready market or some very line stone secured in the quarries near North Vernon, on the 2Jedi&on branch. Farmers are beginning to see the necessity cf placing corn on tbe market at tbe present prices, even though they be low, hence the train movement over Indianapolis roads is quite heavy at the present time, and will no doubt continue so throughout the winter. For tome time past the various roads com prising the Chicago and Ohio P.iver pool .have been kicking vigorously against the percents that were awarded them, claiming tbat they were not sufficiently large. A circular has already been issued announcing tbat a meeting will be held on January GO fcr tbe purpose of reconsidering the per cents, although it is possible that this mat ter will be taken up at a meeting to be held next week. I don't know why it is that the best ticket-tellers are middle-aged men," said a local agent to a representative of. tbe Sentinel jesterday. "A man about forty years of age will sell three tickets where a young xran will be unable to sell one. It may be because the former is better acquainted with the ways cf the world, and can therefore talk to all sorts of people. I have discov ered tbat a middle-aged man is better titted to stand behind the counter of a passenger office than a jouag man." A ttcckhclder of the L., N. A. and C. says that last year was an auspicious one for the Wok on, as will be shown by the coming an nual report. It is a fact, too, he says, tbat 13 has opened with bright prospects for the road, and there is every indication that its earnings will continue to increase steadily under its present management. The equip ments and rosd-bpd axe in splendid condi tion on the main line and all divisions. This same stockholder says tbat the com pany never had at any time a more energetic tet cf employes. Tbe Union Pacific has issued a new code cf rules for the government of its employes. These regulations are as clear as any we have ever read, and, while numerous and compre hersive, cover the ground so that no one in the service- of tbe company or any part of its 4 cCG miles of track can have a valid . excuse fcr rot understanding his duty. It Is not rcrsibie for us to refer to these laws in detail. It is enough for us to eay that they are writ ten with great skill and wisdom. Yet we do rot feel constrained to speak of one rule. This Is the one which strictly forbide em ployes to offer testimonials to their superiors, either direct or in direct. Those in authority must not jeeeive tucU testiiucaiala pr pie sects. The acceptance of gratuities from pasengen or patroaa la also forbidden. This section of the code goes on to eay: "Tha practice of making or accepting presents is neither rep utable nor conducive to good discipline." This sentence states tbe point precisely. It la disreputable for any official to allow em ployes to contribute from their slender sti pends for the purchase of something he should not receive. Many of such contrib utor! feel forced to give, when they know that they need tho money for their families. Again, the employes of a great railroad com pany are like soldiera. To be effective they must be governed by strict discipline. Such discipline can cot be maintained if presents are allowed to be given to the officials in charge. Kail way Register. FROM A RAILROAD STAICDfOIST. A prominent Western railroad official, in a letter to a friend in SpriugOeld, gives the following expression to his views upon the present attempt to make a raid upon freight rates: 'We are in the first stages of another at tack as bitter and hostile as that of 1S72 and 187 and we must submit. There is no help for it What is called tbe 'railroad prob lem' is no problem at all. It was once a question whether railroad owners or Legisla tures should make taritfj. That was the problem,' and it is decided for all time to come. Tariffs for all the railroads in Illi nois. Missouri, and, I think, in some other States, have been made by Commissioners for ten years. The question whether pres sure enough can be brought to make the Commissioners cut present tariff rates is not a 'problem.' It is a blind, unreasoning jeal ousy or hcstillty a feeling which no one can expia:n, a disposition to destroy. Because A is having a bad year it irritates him to eee B prosper. But it is purely a matter between the Commissioners and the railroad mana gerp, with the power all on one side. There is nothing left to argue with the pabiic. If they cut rate3 we shall submit as we always do, because we can't help ourselves. The courte of the public mind, as indicated by the pres and the political orators, is nothing new. When tbe disposition to do a thing and tbe power to do a thine exist together, the thing will be done. 'The people' who don't own railroads ontnumber the 'monop olists.' 'robbers' and 'barons' who do. There fore they can control railroads 'to the ex tent of forfeiture of their property.' in the langnage of our Constitution. This being true beyond all doubt, the only remaining question is, how far they will exercise their power. They will mate a spasmodic display cf their power now and then, with or with out reason, first to assure themselves and the railroads that they possess it and that it has not been lost or weakenel. When they make one of these spasmodic breaks we can only appeal to the Commissioners. That is the end of our resistance." Beal Estate Transfers.

Frankfort Crescent: There is a demand for a law putting savings banks on a better basis in this State. Delphi Times: The best and only genuine reform of the civil service will bs found in the application of the aphorism: "Turn the rascals out." Hendiicks County Gszette: Handreds of factories are closing, and in the days of a high protective tariff. If protection pro tects, why don't it protect? Lebanon Pioneer; "Jeems" Blame has not "defended the honor of his wife with his life." He has promptly dismissed the effort to save her honor. What a fraud he is. Wirjamack Democrat: All the Republican office-holders are in favnr of civil service reform. They believe it is the wisest statute ever passed by Congress, and they hope to retain their positioas. From recent appoint nunts made by Arthur we do not hear of any Democrat being telected. Fountain and Warren Democrat: The common people tho toilers are unable to understand why Congress dielikfs to dkcu's measures for tbe public weal during a short sfesion. Congressmen and Senators are well paid for their services, and should not hesl täte to do all the good they can while in offlcs. Delphi Times: The Rochester Republican, under the management of Major Bitters, is one of the handsomest and spiciest of our exchanges. It is a pleasure to read a news paper, however humble, that is conducted by a thorough journalist, aid the Republi can is one of tbe few in Northern Indiana that come under this head. Vincennes Son: Here it is almost to months sicca Cieve'aud waj elected, an 1 yet thb afgrofs have not been put back in slavery, and the world has not come to an end, notwithstanding the prophecies cf the Republican party. Times would not be so bard either, were it not the tail end of tweciy four years of Republican misrule. Delphi Times: When a Monticello girl run to her stockings yesterday morning and found seven pounds of candy, a seal-skin sacque, a peck of apples, roler skates, a new novel, a bottle of cologne and a package of prepared magnesia down in one foot of one pair, she said she thought Santa Claus w.is right mean fur not tilling it up while he was at it. Han ccc democrat: The Secretary of the Interior ai Vail.mgton tays there is no land within tbe iimiof the Indian Territory on which seit '"rr tuts can be mads. The roil and climate of the Territory are proba bly tbe best in tbe United States, and if the Indians do not U3e it to increase the pros perity of the country, the white man oaht to be allowed to do so without Interruption from the Government. Crawfordsville Review: Now when so much is Slid about treaties and treaty mak ing powers, the popular mind at onca turns to the cherished Monroe dectrine tbat we can p.ot pafely allow any meuRc'ng foreign foothold on the continent, either of an of fensive or defensive character. It is sound dectrino, the eafe side of the whole question, nd all treaty trickery which docs not em brace its spirit, needs watching. Michigan City Ditpatch : In the event of the Legislature pa?hing a new apportion ment bill this coming session, Laporte County should be giveD another representa tive or at least a joint one with toma other northern county, Marshall, for instance. We catt about as many votes ai S5. Joe, and it has, besides tne regular rcember, a jo!nt representation with S arke County. We urce upon our new legulatcrs the feasibility cf this projtct. Terre Haute Gazette: General WinGeld 8-ott Hancock is to be invited to ect &s Grand Marshal of tne inauguration parade. By-ihe by it onpht to be whispered in the ears of the committee which has been mak ing iteelf officious iu the matter of an inaug uration pßgeant that the American people are more than willing to at the ceremonial on tbat occasion should be cf the severest and simplest sort. A return to the simplic ity and honesty of the fathers cf the Repub lic is what is wanted. Seymour Democrat: Under the order of affairs, established by a succession of Re publican administrations, the burdens and responsibilities of tbe Government fall heavi est on thoso who are least able to bear them. It is because of the injustice of the present system that reform U demanded, and it is because of the vast numerical strength ot those against whom the injustice orks that reform, in some shape, Is certain to be ac complished sooner or later. In a word, too great reform of the future is to so adjust the laws as to throw the burdens of taxation upon those who are best ab'e to bear them. EvansviJle Tribune News: Mr. Cleveland's letter defining his policy concerning the di3- tributioa cf public patronage is aa admira ble document. It is totally devoid of the diplomatic obscurity ana uncertainty which too often characterize the pubiic statements cf politicians. Neither did the Governor speak without taying anything. On tb contrary, he defined his course very distinctl in plain, straight forward English, whica can not be misconstrued. It may be con fidently expected that the office holders who have acted the part of political manager will not be retained under the new adminu tration, and that their successors will no follow in their footsteps, Columbus Herald: Mr. Jewett fills the re quirements of the position. Finn, vrithou. being headstrong, with the ability and dis crimination to control a body of men anJ hold them to their collective duty without trampling upon tbeir individual rights gocd parliamentarian, a mai of commoi sense and of general information besides possessing "magnetism," the quality cf drawlnc friends to him and retaining their good-will he :s in our juigment a mo3i eligible candiiate. If there are any Uis Jators 'within the eound of our voics, we beg of them to lay their ballots on Charles L. Jewett. We are firm in the faith that they will never rezret the act. New Albany Public Press: The united action of the Indiana doicgation, led by the gallant P?nwtor Voorhes, in indorsing ex Serator McDonald for a Cabinet position un der Mr. Cleveland, has had a very good ef fect. It was expected that this move would be taken, but since it was more than a for mal matter it has had a double effect. Sen ator Yoorbees and other prominent Indiana Democrats say they believe there is no doubt about Senator McDonald beiDg called into the Cabinet, and that be will co inta the Da partrrent of the Interior. Notwithstanding the fact that Sonator McDonald's induction into the Cabinet would greatly strengthen tbe Democratic party in Indiana, tha Repub licans of the State now at Washington speifc of the matter es one of the highest justice to the Senator, and he is indorsod to a man, re gardless of party. Eminent titne?3 and the tterlinc qualities of the geatieruaa recom mend him. Lafayette Sunday Timea: Mr. Blaine evi dently hss a poor opinion cf Indiana jastice, and particularly cf the Indiana Democracy poorer than the facta warrant. Tb.3 Rs publican Presidential candidate acted pre cipitately in beginning the suit, not to lay inconsiderately, and should have been bet ter advised. His letter to Wm. Walter Phelps, subsequently written, destroyed tin foundation for any action for libel against the Sentinel. Mr. Blaine substantially ad mitted the facts charged by the Sentinel, though tbe letter was couched in less yicorous language thaa employed by the Democratic organ. He spoiled his cass by giving that document to the public. It was a semi-confession that should have been made in anawer to the Sentinel's charge in the filing of the complaint for slander. The interrogatories first propounded by the de fense were never fully and unequivocally answered. Mr. Blaine, while seemingly an swering the questions, was guilty of evasion; and it was these interrogatories that forced from him the Phelps letter. Mr. Blaine has certainly not made fair weather with tbe In diana Democracy by saying that he did not believe six Democrats could be found in the State who would not perjure themselves! Laporte Arsus: Mr. Samuel J. Randall, it is reported, is goin on a trip through tbe Bouth to preach his high tariff doctrines to Southern Demo crats. Judging from the 80,000 majority Pennsylvania gave Blaine, Mr Randall will do well to devote his attention to building up tbe Democratic party in hia own State before he volunteers to assist hi3 neighbors. He thould first show that his kind of Dem ocracy is popular at home bsfore he psriously attempts to introduce it abroad. We have a suspicion tbat it is a good deal more un popular everywhere else than the vote shows it to be in Pennsylvania, and if such is the rase, the acceptance of Mr. Randall's ideas by the party would prove a master process of party extinction. Mr. Randall should shut himself up in his closet and prayerfully read Grover Cleveland's Newark speech, and then iry and get himself into line with the National Democracy. Reform is necessary. Loganspcrt Pnaros: Hon. Samupl Ran dall, in his Louisville bpeech mad come queer statements to emanate from euch a source. He has at all times b?eu charged with being a h'gh protectionist, but his Louigyille Bpeech does not placo him in the lUt of such statesmen. Among other things he, said: "I consider that it is over exhaus tive taxation and to sorre degree tr-i-Je re strictions which ought tobefcwent a?ide. The government should be administered economically, ard there ought not to be col lected a dollar of revenue from the people of the United Slates in excess of that which is cectEsary to economically administer the government cf this people." Now that is sound Democratic doctrine. He asserts that there now lies in the government treasury $2C0,OC0,00O for which the government has no use, and he attributes the depres sion in business to this fact. It would seem, however, that there is some inconsistency in Randall's present position. He voted against tarid reduction onlv a year ago. Why did he do it? Well, Mr. Randall wants the internal revenue system abolished. He wants taxation to bo levied upon the necessaries of life and not upon lnxnries. The country may yield in time to his ideas, but it will not "be done hastily, becaaso a Isrge majority of the American people bs lieve tbat tax reduction should be made on the uecfcssQries of life before they are reduced on luxurie?. The people can do without whisky and tobacco, but tbey are obliged to buy sugar, salt, iron, glass end many other articles of general use upon which there is a hiph tax. Randall's thecry of redaction of tariff dutitß is pcrbapsa gocd one, viz: That a duty Ehc::!d be levied high enough to make pood tho-ditTerence in the costcf labor and material thnt now exists between this and otLer countries. But why doe he not for mulate hvd theory and introduce it to th.8 law naking power for consideration? The rrcst Itarted political economises assert that the cause of hnsictsa depression ia over tax ation. Then why not reduca taxation at once? Dees Mr. Handall stand ia the way of tar reduction? How Ar.drew .Johnson Became Drank, (Washington Letter to Cleveland Lcader.l Perhaps tbe mo?t disgraceful sr:ene in our histcry a a republic was the day of lAn cola'e Bt cord inaugurflj ion, wren Andrew JoLcson, the Vice President elect, made a maudlin drunken speech before the leading men of this raticu and the representative of rearly every foreign nation of promi nence. An cid Senator told me to nicht l'c this cars' to be. Said he: "An drew Johnson wa3 acc ustomed to drinkinpr, bntheiseidcm took more than he could conveniently and sensibly carry. While Governor of Tennessee he used to keep a bottle of whisky in a covered washstand in his office, srd 1 have taken several drinks with him there. He would raise the cover, take a drink and offer one to me. Still this was a common custom ia the South, and Johnson was not looked upon es a drinking man in Tennecsce. I do not think he often took more than enough for himself at Wash ington. As to his drunkenness at his Inau guration, to which Sumner so sarcasfically alluded on the Senate floor, John W. Forney told me how it occurred. Forney was Clerk cf the .Senate at tho time. He said that Johnson Ls.J been drinking tbe night before the inauguration with a lot of friends at the Metropolitan Hotel, and as i3 usual in such cases he arose the next morn ing with a bad tas e in his mouth and no appetite. The result was that he started up to the Capitol without breakfast, and when he got triebe he was very weak, and In look ed w m and hazard. He cam9 into the Senite and atked Mr. Forney if he could not cet him a drink of whisky. Forney re plied yes, acd went acd broucht in a bot- i tie cf old Kentucky bourbon. Johnson took this and poured agohlathalf full, while For ces 's eyes grew largo in surprise as he gulped it down. This alone would have been enoDKh to have made an ordinary man drunk, but it was not cnoogh for Vice Pre: ident Johnson. He filled tno glass half fall acaia and threw it in upon his empty eiomach. He then walked off across the rccm, and he only staggered a little as he eck nis place bcsino President Lincoln in front of the as?? mbuize of Cabinet Secre taries, fore'gn MinTstersand otbers. When it cjirr.c lime to take his csth and the book was handed him to kis3, he waved it aside with his hand and boan to make a speech. What he raid was nevf-r reported in the pa pers, hut it must have been very funny. He tock each of the Secrearif3 to tesk and gava them instructions. He addressed the for eign Ministers, and though Forney tried to pull him down by holding to his coat-tails l ?Lir.d, h would not btop, bat went on. President Lincoln was, aa were all the Ameri cans present, grieved by the occurrence, and Ale iJncoln said: 'I hone this will prove a lessen to Andy.' " Four Cttrpled CongreMinen. VTasbicgtoa Letter to the Philac'elpbii Tress J How well I remember what may be called the "tctal cripples" in Congress during the past twenty years. All told, they were f iur. First who geve way was grand old Thaddens Stevens, lie was always lame from an ill formed fact. I bars heard he did not walk at all until he was six years old. He always walked vith great diL.cult7. Never could walk far, end during the last few years ot hi3 life (he diel at Eaventy-six) he could not walk tt all. Every dty he wes takeu from Lis heme near the Capitol by two strong colered men in en easy chair, which they hoisted on their shoulders, and thus the great cemmensr was borne through the streets Crowds used to gather to see hin pass end reverently lift their hats. He was put down in hi3 place in the House, and when the session wa3 over he was takeu back to his house cud put to bed. Mr. Stevens cften laughingly epoke of tue two colored carriers as his pall-bearers. Another help'es cripple was Darwin A. Finnev. a member for one term from Mead yille, l a, He picptilcd himself about ia a wheel chair, but his trunk and lower limbs were helpless from paralysis, and he had to be helped in and out of the House of Repre sentatives. He died abroad, I believe, at about the same time aa Mr. Stevens died. Oliver P. Morton, aa I think, one of the big gest men in Congress, was another helpless paralytic. He was never out of pain, and although a young man (he died at the age of fifty-four), he was the most dependent of mortals in his latter days. He, too, had to be carried into and out of the Senate Cham ber in a chair. He was a poor mau, and could ill afford to own the low coups he was obliged to own. The other helpless statesman of the four alluded to wss Alexander H. Stephens. He was truly a phenomenon. Bailt cf nothing but skin and bones he never weighed while in Ccncress more than 80 or 10) pounds. Such a little bit cf a thin face, aid such skeleton hands you Dever saw. Yet how bright were his eyes, and what exhibitions ot energy. His voice was one of the strong est and clearest I ever heard, and when he speke, my masters, wheeling his chair back ward and forward in tbe space in front of the Speaker's desk, he was listened to by the whole Home. He Lad to be taken home in his chair, too. He had for a body servant a young negro six feet four inches in height, admirably proportioned. Mr. Stephens used to say, chuckling quietly the while, that he did not know what he would do when "Sam" died. All four of these men are now dead, dead. Three cf them certainly were great, and it seems to me that the places cf Thad Stevens and Governor Morton never can be thud. - Tobacco Smoke. Dr. ZolJnski has published in a Warsaw medical journal the results of along series of experiments made by him both upon hu man beings and animals, with a view of ver ify irg the pbysiolcgical effects of tobacco tiLcie. He found in the first place that it 's a distinct pciscn, even in small doses. Upen men iis action is very slight when not iLhalcd in ltrge quantities, but it would seen become powerful if the smoker get into the l abitof "swallowing the smoke," and Dr. Zulinski ascertained that this tox ical property is not due exclusively to the nicotine, but that tobacco smoke, even when disengaged cf the nico tine, contains a second toxical principle called colidine, and also oxide of rarbon and hydrocyanic acid. The effects produced by tobacco depend, he says, to a great extent upon tbe nature of the tobacco and the way in which it is smoked. The cigar smoker ab sorbs more poison than Ihecicarette smoker, and the latter in turn than those who smoke pipes, while the smoker who takes the pre caution of using a narghille, cr eny other apparatus which conducts the smoke through v.ater, reduces the deleterious effects oi tobacco to a minimum. As a rule, the light colored tobaccos are sup posed to be the mildest, but Dr. Zulinski eajs tbat a great many of the tobaccos are artificially lightened by tho aid of chem ical agents which are not always free from danger. He adds that several lieht tobaccos are also open to the objection of emitting a burniDg smote, owing to the large propor tion ot wooden fibers which they contain, notably the French "caporal" and the Eng lish bird's-eye, and that the smoke from iheep tobaccos is of such high temperature as often to cause slight irflammation of the loEgue, which, with people cf mature age, is not unlikely to lead to cancer. The dark tobaccc8 are often adulterated, too, but Dr. Zulinski thinks that upon the whole they axe the less dangerous. This Congress Doesn't Need It. INcw York World.
