Probahly everysvit:zen, irrespective of poli
tics, f eels a friendljr Interest ia Mrs. Cleve
land for the reason that she is a young, and
iniauio, uiu nvuau m a conspicuous
, and peculiarly trying position- The members
cf her husband's party, however, regard her
with a worshipful gratitude which has no
parallel in the hiitory o! the country. The
i source this feeling is less flattering to her
self than might be desired. Other men with
handsome, intelligent and equally amiable
vires hare gone into the presidential race,
' and hare been elected and spent years in the
YThite House without one tithe of the adula
tion paid to these wives that Mrs. Cleveland
ha received. The general public took the
same friendly interest in these ladies that it
cow feels for her, but its sense of propriety
and decency would have been shocked had
their names been as freely nsed as hers. To
, be sure, the former Presidents were men of
cuch character and personal popularity that
I it was not necessary to create
hindly sentiment in their behalf by ' dragging
' in tl'dsmalememoers of their families on all
Widens and calling attention to their at-
tactions. There is .also reason to believe
that not one of Mr. Cleveland a predecessors
bat would have protested ' vigorously had
th-!Owa individual and political claims been
inctsd while the politicians rehearsed the
pralrcs of his wife; and this resentment would
have been not on his own account, but on
hers. The excess of Democratic gratitude is,
p;rb:pr, tzsj to be accounted for. Other
men have married without exciting wonder or
f tltirfss, in any way, their attitude to the
'public 1a Mr. Cleveland's case, however,
twenty-fire years of a life to which his friends
ervci reference, was blotted out
by a young weman'o willingness
to overlook it. For this, and
his transformation into a respectable family
man at her hands, they are eternally grate
ful. They have a right to be; but this does
not justify them in taking the liberties they
do with her name and her personality. They
bare gushingly dubbed her the "uncrowned
queen of American womanhood, n but Ameri
can womanhood is not honored, but disgraced,
by having the picture of its "queen" hawked
about on the streets, hung up in beer saloons
and worn as decorations by red-nosed bum
xaers. In behalf of Frances Cleveland
American women should protest. A political
cart? which cannot conduct a campaign
without dragging ita candidates wife through
hx?rnr should retire from business.

The failure of the Indianapolis public to at
tend the convention cf'the Writers Associa
tion seems to have been taken deeply to heart
' by the members of that body, and . to have
caused such resentment that a proposition to
hold the seat meeting elsewhere has been
, favorably considered. This is all wrong, and
betrays not only undue sensitiveness but a
" misconception of the nature, or of what should
be the nature, of their own gatherings. Un
til this organization was formed, authors

-'- tt-arded individually . as being somewhat
isolated from others of. their kind. If the
public was inclined for a time to look upon
: the association in a humorous light, and even
flr cf it in flinnant terms, it was not
z v:
tzi cf disrespect to the authors themselves,
but from a . feelircr that they were not prac
tical, and really had but a vague idea of their
ewn purpose in coming together. However,
' aiUr the association had been formed, sub-
. jscta selected for discussion and a programme
cf work arranged, the affair took on a differ
ent aspect, and the" matter-of-fact observers
came to regard It less as a mutual admiration
tzzizty thin as a club of professional workers,
t whose object was mutual instruction and
tn admirable thing. It was readily under
lined that technical matters, tricks of
the trade, methods of composition, the busi
ness side of literature, etc, might be dis
ezzzzi to the benefit of all concerned, and ex
periences exchanged and sample productions
rtii to titir eatertainnient and edification.
Ia these professional matters, howerer, the
Ctstral public is not deeply intereited. It
carta Jittle, for instance, about the exact
ttisdbg cf dialect in literature, or the pre
c':i lies cf separation between the real and
i- ideal in fiction; what it wants ia good dia
l::t t-d esttrtalninz noyels. It wants the

in short, and is wlUing to ignore the
3. I'crcover. it has a L-sitation about
- ' ""I rr::i J M3Teati. Thcra ari,
as one author said, other literary societies in
the city, but what he did not say nor apparent
ly realize was that they are of an entirely dif
ferent order from the Writers' Association.
The latter is composed of producers, those
who write' for publication, of professional au
thors, or amateurs with professional ambitions.
The ordinary literary club is made up with a
view to pursuing special courses of study or
reading, and is meant only for the personal
improvement of its members. They have
certain interests in common with the authors,
but not more than have elubl ess people of cul
tivated tastes. A great many conventions as
semble in Indianapolis. Doctors meet and
discuss the newest discoveries in medical sci
ence, the preachers, in solemn conclave, read
just their creeds and wrangle over doctrines.
The publio does not attend their gatherings;
it . feels that it has no business there,
and is content to know that it will profit in
the one instance by having its ills cured after
the most approved methods and in the other
by having its soul saved according to the
latest-re vised theological plan. By organiz
ing, the writers have classed themselves as a
profession apart, audit is no Indication in'
their case more than in the others that the
community Jacks sympathy ' with . them be
cause it does not fiock to their hall. It knows
it will eventually reap the benefit ia the im
proved literature which will doubtless result.
' Of course, if this theory of the associa
tion's being is incorrect, and, instead of a
gathering of bright men and women of simi
lar pursuits for the purpose of making each
other's acquaintance and profiting thereby, it
is intended for the special entertainment cf
the world at large, there is nothing to be said,
save that the fact should have been distinctly
advertised in advance. However it may be,
the dissatisfied ones should quiet their per
turbed spirits and rest secure in' the knowl
edge that Indianapolis regards them with the
kindest feelings and hopes they will not hold
their sessions elsewhere, but will continue to
radiate sweetness. and light from this central
and convenient point as heretofore.
THE C0USCIL3 ABD THE CITY. , '
If City Councils could be brought to aclearer
understanding of their proper functions and
relations to the public, it would oftentimes
aid them in dealing with questions of munici
pal policy. The councilmanic mind nowadays
is apt to be confused and 'misled by side
issues, political, personal or other, which have
no legitimate connection with the. city gov-
ernment. and which ought to be rigidly ex
cluded from its councils. Ward politics are
largely responsible for this. It is very ques
tionable whether the division of a city into
wards for political purposes is not productive
of more eril than good. At all events, ward
politics have no business and should have no
place in a City Council. Neither should any
local, personal or corporate interest save that
of the city at large and tho people as a whole.
The point for Councils to bear in mind is that
the city ia a corporation, of which the people
are the stockholders and the Councils the di-
rectors. Their duties to the city and
the publio are precisely analogous to
those of : a, board . of directors ,to
the 1 stockholders of a corporation, They
aro trustees to manage the affairs of the
city for the benefit and in the interests . of
the people. If they fail to do this it is a
breach of trust The law prescribes limita
tions to the power of a City Council, and with- -in
these limitations it is expected to act solely
and singly for the public welfare, regardless
of all side issues, political or otherwise. Any
thing more or less than this is a betrayal of
duty, if not a violation of law. A City Coun
cil is to look out for the interests of the city
it represents as against any and all other in
terests, first, last, and all the time. A clear
conception of this idea and what it involves
may be found useful to the councilmanic
mind under a variety of circumstances.
EQUAL 8UFFSAQE SCRAPPING MATCH.
That women will purify politics can hardly
be doubted to do so would be heresy after
the many assertions to that effect from high
sources but it is much to be regretted that
their advent into the political field is attended
with features that cannot, bv the widest
r w
stretch of charity, be regarded as of a purify
ing nature. When women received the
formal indorsement of the Prohibition con
vention, and it was officially announced that
they ought, to have equal political rights, it
was thought by some that the millennium was
at hand. Reports from Wabash county, how
ever, indicate that this idea was incorrect, or
that if the millennium is coming it will arrive
by some other route. Certainly Miss Willard
and the rest hardly anticipated that the
Prohibition campaign would be opened with
a sparring match between two members '. of
the elect sex. To call it a sparring match is
to speak politely. What the Wabash women
really, indulged in, . if report . is cor
rect, was a knock-down fight, ia
which .fists and clubs figured actively
and of which bloody noses, black eyes and
torn clothes were the result It will scarcely
be maintained that there is "anything of an
elevating character about this. ' Manifesta
tions of the same sort have always been com
mon in Democratic meetings, where the partici
pants in the proceedings were all of the mascu
line gender; but these scrapping matches have
not been held up as examples for the coming
voter to follow, especially if the coming voter
was to be a woman. On the contrary, it was
urged by the ardent advocates of equal suf
frage that the entrance of women into the pub
lio arena would eliminate the "shindy" and the
bludgeon, and that the knock-down sty! of ar
gument would give way to the soft and woo
ing methods peculiar to the gentle beings
when they want their own way. To he sure,
the emotional demonstrations of the leaders
of the movement in the late Prohibition con
vention, their gesture?, their disheveled hair
and general disregard of appearances, did not
augur well for the heavenly calmness and
peace which was promised; but it was hoped
that as this gathering was exceptional, the
sweet feminine instinct would assert
Itself in future meetings and that
all would be well This hope is dashed by
the reports from the Wabash. The truth
sems to be that close association with the
Democracy h caused a deterioration of
character in the prohibitionists. As St. John
practically acknowledged, they are the open
allies of the Democratic party, and what so
natural as that the force of example should
overcome the natural tendency to propriety
and respectability. One swallow does not
emake a summer, nor does one scrapping-match
destroy the reputation of all the members of
the third party; but taking that Wabash affair
in connection with the demonstrations at the
national convention, wild, it is to be feared,
create an impression that equal suffrage of the
third-party brand is not one of the things for
which the country is pining. As a friend of
the cause in a general way, the Journal regrets
this. '
"What's the News?"
A collection of soaps designed to promote
the gospel of prohibition was largely advertised
d urine; the continuance of the recent national
Prohibition convention, under the title of
"WhstV the Kswsr Probsbly not one in a
hundred of the members of the convention, or
of the visitors, knew the origin of the title of
their professional 'hymn-book. The Journal's
reminiscent can let a little light in upon the
affair. In 1840-41 the first temperance
movement in this country took on the
aspect and importance of a na
tional reformation. It began in Baltimore, and
was called the "Washingtonian Temperance Re
form. It was addressed solely to the victims of
alcoholism, snd aimed, like the present Murphy
reform, to do its good work by changing inclina
tions and associations of the drinker, and not by
0
a compulsory restriction or suppression Of the
seller. Its first evangelist in this city was a re
formed drinker and gsmbler oy the name of
Matthews, as the rsminlsctnt thinks. - He had a
measure of homely, forceful eloquence in his
harangues, or sermons, that commanded
instant interest and bad close attention.
He held meetings in the old court-house, and
made them a cood deal like relixioue revival
meetings. . He began with a song of a temper
ance inspiration, followed .with a prayer some
times,, and a lecture that was as much sermon
as speech. The court-house was crowded with
his auditors, and many a "hard case signed the
pledge, sometimes to break it in a month, some
times to stick till the last day in the morning.
The favorite song, both of the missionary and
the audlenee, was called, like the recent Prohi
bition songbook, "What's the Newsl It is
forty-eight years since the Journal's reminiscent
has heard It or thought of it and his memory
may not be accurate, but as he remembers, it
ran thus:
Whene'er we meet, we kindly greet.
Saying "what's the news, what's the news,
' What is the order of ths day, what's ths news!'
Oh, I hare got good sews to tell.
The temperance cause is prospering well.
The drunkard's now a sober man
And doing all the good he can.
That's the news, that's the news.
This usually was the opening hymn of the
services, so to soeck, and became as familiar to
the residents of half a century ago as any
camp-meeting song or lyric of the Harrison
"Log Cabin campaign. The "unrespeet
ive boys of thst day the grandfathers of
to-day parodied the song, as they would
have parodied the angelie chorus over the stable
of Bethlehem if they had been there, but noth
ing changed the hold this first temperance
hymn held upon the popular feeliog of the city
The boys made the song say:
I have got good news to tell.
The temperance has gone to well, .
. No matter where; the drink will come.
And itH be quare if we don't get some.
This temneranoe movement though it lost
force, as all reforms do in their later stages,
never wholly gave place to the social conditions"
it had met and displaced.
James Freeman Clerk.
Rev. James Freeman Clarke, the eminent
Unitarian minister, who died at his home in Ja
maica Plain, Mass., on Friday, was one of the
most distinguished men of the country. He
wss .born-at . Hanover, N. IL, on April 4 1810.
He was an infant when bis parents removed to
Newton, Mass., and he was educated in Boston,
receiving, his preparatory education from the
Rev. Jam is Freeman and at the Boston Latin
School. At sixteen years of age he became a
student at Harvard. During the last year of
his collegiate course he formed a valuable
friendship witn Margaret Fuller,' Countess
d'OssolL This was continued ia a daily
correspondence during 'the ' four years in
which Mr. Clarke studied at the Harvard Di-
rinity School. Her influence is said to have led
him to abandon a preference for the law for
that of the Christian ministry. When he was
twenty-three he accepted the eall to a pastorate
at Louisville, Ky. While living there, in 1836,
be founded, and for the following three years
edited, the magazine in which appeared Ralph
Waldo Emerson's earliest published poems.
Oliver Wendell Holmes and Dr. Channing were
also among the contributors to "The. Western
Messenger, which wss valued, among other ex
cellent features, for its pictures of contemporary
Southern customs, In 1S39 Mr. Clarke was mar
ried. He lelt Louisville in 1810, and returned
to Boston, which has been the scene of his al
most incessant toils ever since. In 1841 he
founded the Church of the Disciples,
where the principle that . "pews shall
not be sold. rented or taxed," has
been maintained from the beginning. His
health broke down in 1850 from excessive appli-'
cation to literary and pulpit work, and he rest
ed the next three years. Five years before he
created some excitement and a part of bis
ehurch seceded on account- of his exehsnging
pulpits with Theodore Parker. The . creed , of
his own ehurch, as explicitly stated by him. Is
"faith in Jesus Christ as a teacher and master;
its aim, the study and practice of Christianity."
Dr. Clarke encouraged the anti-slavery crusade.
During his long career he has held various offi
cial positions, having been a member of the
board of education, a trustee of the publio li
brary, and a member of the board ef overseers
of Harvard College, from which institution he
received his degree of Doctor of Divinity, m
1833. In 1873 he was a delegate to . the Repub
lican State convention at Worcester, and he
was also a delegate to the national Republican
convention which nominated Rutherford B.
Hayes for President.
MINOR MEXTlflLV.
Ths Council should not lose sight of the fact
that the city wants electric lights. The people
have not lost sight of it We do not mean to say
that the Council should take hasty or premature
action in the premises, for at the present stage of
electrie science and electric li eh tine it is not ad
visable to act without due deliberation. What
ever action is taken should be such as will
stand the test of time. But with thia qualifica
tion the Council should ucderstsnd that the city
wants electri? light and expects th Council to
take the necessary steps for securing it It is the
light of tL future, ana its feasibility
is quite sufficiently demonstrated to justify
its introduction here. The Council mast take
no step backward in the matter. Indianapolis
is facing to the front, and must keep moving in
that direction.
Thk New York law abolishinc hanging and
substituting electricity as a means of inflicting
the death penalty, makea other changes to th

provides that a prisoner sentenced to death shall
bo immediately conveyed by th' sheriff to one of
the State prisons, and ther kept in solitary eon
finement until th day of execution, to bo vis
ited only by officers, or by his relatives, physi
cian, clergyman or counsel. The court imposing
th senUnce shall nam merely th week within
which the execution is to take place, ths partis-
ular day within such week being left to th dis
cretion of the principal officer of the prison,
The execution is required to be practically
private, only officials, clergymen, physicians.
and a limited number of citizens being allowed
to be present. After the execution funeral
services may be held within the prison walls,
and the body shall be delivered iato the enstody
of relatives, if requested, otherwise, it (Jail be
decently interred within the prison grounds.
All these provisions are in the direction of re

morbid practice of making heroes of condemned
criminals.
A London cablegram says a psaic has occurred
in the market for diamond mine shares, some
shares falling five per cent Speculation in dia
mond mine shares is as common in London and
Paris as speculation in railroad stocks is in New
York. There are four diamond mines in South
Africa, and last year they paid in dividends
$10,000,000. Tho stock fluctuates in value much
the same as other mininc stocks, depending on
the returns. The four mines referred to are all
situated within a radius of one and a half mile.
The eapital invested in them is $70,000,000, and
they produced last yeas 3.646,6991 earata, valued

A weathzb prophet, who says he has "no de
sire to create a sensation nor to eause useless
alarm," predicts storms of .unusual severity dur
ing the last week of June. The reason assigned
Is that "the earth and Mercury will pass the
sun's equator and Venus its equinoctial between
the 18th and 23th of June, and If there is any
thing in planetary meteorology these three as
tronomical events coming so close together will
cause an increase of electrical potency and' there
by augment the force of the storms." If the
storms come the prediction holds; otherwise
a generous and confiding publio will please con
sider it off.
Ths editor of the Muscatine Journal, who has
just returned from the Methodist General Con
ference, says ef the New York papers: "Aside
from treating the conference in a measly way,
they are the poorest papers for their opportunity
in the entire country." The wonder is that the
Muscatine man . has but just discovered this.
The superiority of the New York papers has
been little but a tradition for many years, and
their deficiencies hare long excited th surpris
of Western publishers. The best newspaperu,
as well as the best of a good many other things

Mb. Ra pit, agent and confidential friend

fied in eourt the other day that he once asked
the Madame if she were not afraid Marsh would
"tumble." She replied: "1 ain't afraid of God

Or all the vicious practices of modern times
there is none more insidious, demoralizing and
corrupting to youth than the sale of obscene
pictures. In spite of an occasional protest from
the press, there is reason to believe this infa
mous traffie is increasing. Many cigarette-deal-era
are engaged in it ,and the boy who injures
Lis body, by cigarette-smoking is also poisoned
in his mind and morals by the gift of an inde
cent picture. " The traffic" is a disgrace to 'our
civilization, and the persons who engsge in it
should be prosecuted and punished to the ut
most limit of the law.
Thk New York Sun is at a loss for a word to
describe the infliction of death by electricity. It
says, "We eannot say that the victim of eapital
punishment has been electrified, for a man may
be so without death. ' A case of execution by
electricity is an leetricide; and w can say that
a man, after undergoing the desth penalty, has
suffered leetricide." But it thinks a neater and
better word is required. How would electro-
mortify dot Mortify means, literally, to make
or cause death, and, the prefix "electro"' would
indicate the method.
At a late meeting of the Anthropological Con
gress in New York a paper was read to prov
that America was first discovered by the Chinese.
We protest. We are' willing the ancient
Norsemen should divide honors with
Christopher Columbus and Amerieus Ves

Chinamen. If we yield this point the anthropol
ogists will soon be claiming that America be

thing must be met at the threshold.

Mb. Ruskin dislikes foreign translators, and
not long ago wrote a letter telling a man who
asked permission to translate his works to let
them alone. He thinks that every nation has
enough good authors to occupy ita thoughts, and
that men who want to understand authors out
side their own land would better learn the lan
guage of the author they wish to read; then they
will not be so likely to misunderstand him.
Miss Alice Fisher, who for four years has

Lewis G. Clark, the George Harris of Uncle
Tom's Cabin, is said, by the Minneapolis Jour
nal, to be on exhibition at a museum at that
place. Speaking of th author who mad him
famous he said: "In 1844 I went to Portsmouth, .
and it was there that 1 met Mrs. Stoce. She
would talk to me for hours about life among the '
slaves, and each day she would write down what
I had told her. Then she had never been South,'
and I can say. without vanity, that had it not
been for me Uncle Tom's Cabin would never
have been written. Nearly all the incidents in
the book I told her."
An English society periodical says: "It is
possible, of course, that the Duke. of Marl
borough will remarry, but that is certainly cot
his chief object in 'crossing the Atlantic. He
has acquired a large estate in Illinois, on which
hetnteodsto breed hogs, and he has gone to
superintend the preliminary steps. Th selec
tion of this particular form of animal-raising is
calculated to raiee the hopes of Chicago maiden
hood and widowhood, but the partner on whom
the Duke at present has his eye is Lord Lons
dale, who, when he returns from the pursuit
of big game in the far North, is to assist on the
pig-farm."
Says an old eitizen of New Mexico: "Oiganl
Oigant El honorable el Cortes do los Estados
Unidos per l Tercero distrito d Nuevo Mexieo
Esta ahora abler to." So runs the proclamation
in Spanish that declarea open the United States
and territorial courts of New Nexieo, as mad
by deputy United States marshals and deputy
sheriffs. For the satisfaction of those Ameri
cans to whom Spanish is an unknown tongue it
is followed by the familiar ''Oyez Oyez! The
honorable the United States Court f6r the Third
district of New Mexico is cow open," followed
by a similar proclamation as regards the district
court of the Territory.
A home of rest for horses is a successful Eng
lish scheme. The chiet object is to give tempo
rary rest to the horses of cab drivers and poor
traders, who in most cases are obliged to keep
their beasts at work until past help, when ', a
timely holiday would restore the poor creatures.
Every comfort and eonvenience is at hand to
mske life pleasant and easy to the old horses.
Summer and winter boxes, large and airy, warm
cloths, regular and plentiful m als, an ex
tensive stable-yard for winter exercise, and a
splendid grass run in at their disposal; and, if
anything ails the ancient almoners, the veteri
nary surgeon of the society comes with his skill
to their aid.
Some deem it quite an honor just to be
One of the "first ssttlers" in the town;
The best first settler, though, it seems to me,
Is he that pays cash down.

Sketclof the Man Who Made the "First rur
cbase" Btveo 1 the Miami ElTers.
Written for the Sunday Journal.
. Cincinnati this year will celebrate the eeaten-
nisi of the settlement of the territory now com
prising the States cf Ohio and Indiana, and
mere especially the lands between the Miami
rivers. The following is a sketch of th first
settler and first owner of a'.l the lands between
the Great and Little Miami rivers. -
John Cleves Symmes was born at Riverhead,
Long Island, on Joly 21, 1742. lie was married
three times in 1761 to Anna Tuthill, who died in
177C; in 1794 to Mrs. Mary Halsey, sister of Col
James Henry, of Somerset county, New Jersey,
and in 1804 at Vincennes. Iud., to Susan Liv
ingston, daughter of Wm. Livingston, Governor
of New Jersey during the revolutionary war,
and who was also the first Governor chosen by
the popular vote of that State. Mr. Symmes's
daughter Anna married Wm. Henry Harrison,
at North Bend, O., on Nov. 22, 1795. Their
third son, John Scott Harrison, is the father of
"Hon. Benjamin Harrison and Irwin Harrison,
of Indianapolis.
In early life Mr. Symmes taught school and
was a surveyor. About 1770 ho moved to Flat
Brook. Sussex county, New Jerser. where be
lived for many years. He called his plaee here
"Solitude," for what reason is not known. He
was a prominent figure in the struggle of the
Revolution, and was chairmau of the Committee
of Safety of his county in 1774; and also . was a
eolonel ia 1775 of a native re ri menu In March,
1776, he was ordered to New York and was em
ployed there and on Long island in erecting de
fenses. He was a delegate from Sussex county.
New Jersey, to the State convention which met
at Burlington on June 10, 1776, and was a mem
ber of the committee appointed to draft a Con
stitution for that State He was sent to Ticon
dsroga and made new arrangements with
the New Jersey troops there. His com
mand helped to ' cover the retreat of
Washington to the Delaware. While thus
engaged he attacked a detachment of 600 Brit
ish troops, under General Leslie, at Springfield,
on Dec 14. This was the first cheek to the
progress of the British toward Philadelphia.
He was with General Diekinson when he sur
prised the British on Staten Island, and also was
at Red Bank when the hostile ships came up the
Delaware - and attached the fort there and at
Fort - Mifflin. . On June 23, 1778, he was in tbe
battle oC Monmouth, and he conducted several
expedition to Long island, when in the handa
of the British. During ono of tbe battles be
wse in he bad three horses shot from under him.
He was a personal friend of General Washing
ton. II waa on tho staff of General St Clair
during the campaign which ended in disaster'
and defeat
In eivil life Cot Symmes was a conspicuous
figure. He was Lieutenant-governor of New
Jersey on term, and aix years a member of tbe
CouneiL- InLJhewas appointed one of the
Associate Judges of the Supreme Court of New
Jersey, and in 1786 he was elected to Congress.
Tli ordinance of Congress establishing tbe
"Territory Northwest of th Ohio" wae passed
July 13, 1787, and on Oct.. 23, 1787, Judg
Symmes, Gen. James M. Varnum and Geo. Sam
H. Persona were appointed judge of tbe Su
preme Court of this Territory. In 17S3 Judge
Symmes passed down the Ohio, and spent the
ensuing winter tn the Daniel Boone settlement
in Kentucky, In 1737 Judge Symmes made a
contract with Congress for 1,000,000 acres of land
in Ohio between the Great and Little Miami
rivers, for sixty-six and two-thirds cents per
acre, and it is designated upon the early maps as
"Symmes's Purchase." In the spring of 1789 be
took possession of these land, with a smalljcol
ony. The Indian war, which followed soon,
caused the settlements to be few, snd Judge
Symmes was obliged to make a new contract
with Congress, and this time for only 248,000
acres. He selected a site for a settlement at North
Bend, and it was his intention to found a city
there. - But this '. scheme failed, on account of
the military post being established at Cincin
nati, which afforded ' protection to th settlers
arainst the Indians. During his residence at
North Bend be had frequent intercourse with
the Indians, and after the treaty of Greenville
several Indians told him that they had often
raised their rifles to shoot bio, but rscognizicg
him, had desisted. - -"
On March L 1811, his house in Cincinnati was
set on fire during bis absence, and entirely de
stroyed with tbe contents, causing a loss of $30,
000. On Feb. 26. 1814, Judge Symmes died at
the residence of Gen. W. H. Harnsoo, his son-in-law,
on Front street in CinciunaU, from can
cer. Ills death was aerene, and he preserved
his senses until about ten minutes before he
died. General Harrison took th body to North'
Bend, where it was buried with military honora
At the time of his death he was seventy-two
years old. Gnral Harrison was appointed
on of th xeeotors of tbe estate of tbe de
ceased. The following inscription is upon the
tomb: "Here rest tbe remains of - John Cleves
Symmes, who at the foot of these hills made
the first settlement between the ' Miami rivers.
Born on Long island, State of New York. July
21. 1741 Died at Cincinnati, Feb. 26, 1814."

C0NTRIBCT10XS FROM STOEI TILIEBS
Gen. Phil Shsridan as a Cadet, and Council
man Cal Darnell as a Well-Digger.
eMsMsSs3BSBBMaB
General Milo S. HaseeU. . of Goshen, was one
of a psrty of gentlemen who formed a group in
a down-town office yesterdsy afternoon, dis
cussing current events and chstting pleasantly.
Incidentally the subject of General Sheridan's
illness was mentioned, and the fact developed
that General Hascall and the hero of the
Shenandoah were class-mates at West Point
"Ye, Sheridan was in my class," said the Gen
eral, "and he was by all means the oddest mem
ber cf it. I remember his appearance and the
impression be formed on bis arrival. lie was
one of tbe most peculiarly built boys I ever saw.
His ehest was very large and full, his lets short
and small, and his arms so phenomenally long
that his hands reached far below his
knees as he walked. His physical
peculiarities were; so marked before he
finally and fully developed that he came
very near being rejected by the examining
board on that account He waa a dull cadet in
hia studies, too, and bad anyone predicted that
Sheridan would have become the most distin
guished man of the elasa and one of th greatest
military leaders of the country he would have
been laughed out of the academy. Sheridan
graduated a year behind us, owing to a rather
peculiar reason. On one occasion the officer of
the day waa Captain. Terrell,, who was at the
tim figuring for promotion, and was therefore
desirius of currying favor with -the officers..
Sheridan happened to be late at reveille and
Terrell reported, him, resulting in hi being rep
rimanded. Sheridan did not lack for spirit, and
the next -day -he eaught Terrell off
of doty; and proceeded tx resent what he
considered .an unwarranted . indignity by
pummeling 'him In most, approved fashion.
I don't think that the result of ' the eneounter
waa entirely satisfactory to Thili p, but be had
got in his work aud done the best be could any
way. For this offense Sheridan was suspended
for a year aud left West Point At the expira
tion of his term of suspension, however, be re
turned and graduated in ISou.
Councilman .Calvin P. Darnell and Calvin
Fletcher, of . Spencer; met ia a party of
gentlemen, -on day early in th past week, and,
as usual, began badgering each other about their
various escapades .of earlier days. Story after
.story was piled up by each at th expense of the
other until Darnell got tho laugh on hia adver
sary by a little yarn from the efieetof which he
failed to rally. . "Cal sent for me to come out to
hia place to. elean a well," said Da rn ell, "to I
packed op a lot ot traps acd went out I ex
amined th well, and found about thirty feet of
water at the bottom. It wa fully forty feet to
th surface, and a long stock reached from the
pump at tb top to th water below. Nar th
top toe bark was still on the stock, but below
this- it was slleker than a, greased pig
at a county fair. I began rigging a tackle to let
myself down and Cal stood by with a scornful
smile, togged out in ao old pair of jeans breeches,
wbtch were supported bv one baaly-dilapideted
supndr, a hickory thirt, and an old straw hat
barefoot d. of coarse be nver wore ehoes
and when be saw me makinr preparations to let
myself down by a rope he fairly bubbled over
with dUcust. 'Blame it all. wbjr don't you shin
down th stockr be growled. 1 said something
about not having been built Tor a climber, but
that only disgusted him tbe more. Cal Fletcher
never could stand bv and let another fellow at
tend to bis business in bis own way, anyhow, and
be was just as trh aboot this as be ie abcut
everything; else. So after erring me a minute or
o longer be shovd me on side and allowed
he'd show me how, to clean a -well. Ho
tied a candle to a piece of atring, told me to let
it down to bim when be got to tbe bottom, end
then he straddled the stock and star led to 'con
down it Weil sir. I don't believe he Had rn
five fe when, rip: the bark ripned o2 and Cal
went down that stock lik a terriSed eotnet
aeuding up a shower of sparks and making th
smoke roll out like it it dos from a ror-ro:;!
moke-stack. 'Here I go!' heyel.ed. and yon
bet he did go. He struck tn- wair ltte a tho
sand of brick, and gentlemen, maybe vou don't
believe it, bet darned if be didn't splach that
well dry! Why thertt wasn't enough water left
at the bottom to cool FleUher'a ltg. It epurted
out like a grand rye r, and tbe well was clean.
H went about eleaaicg it -in a
queer way,. I'll admit but ther was nothing
mor for roe to do. Tm here!' be yeliet I
got the candle, and held it down I -could see.
There was Cal slesbii.g around in the mod down
at the bottom of the M-ell, rubbing bis Ws and
looking up at ths pnnn-stock. He eouldn't climb
back tbe way be got down, so ve had to rir up
a taekle acd get him out Hut tbe meanest
thing was to coma After we hvl cot bim up,
and I had found that the well was dry. be ''re
fused to allow me a cent for my time and trouble
becaue. he said, he'd cleaned that well kinself!
I told hint that even if he had. I'd got him oct
of th hoi. He got mad as blazea at that and
said be wouldn't pay hie a cent He'd hired me
to clean a well. nM to fish a man out of a hole
in the ground! Tba; settled business relations
between us, and from that day to this I have
never allowed any man - that I bad a contract
with to help me about my business."

THE TOWN IX EALLT DAIS. .
An Old Citizen Comets a Few Dates affd Re
latjs Incident! cf the Lode A2:
The accuracy of some of the dates acd inci
dent related in Dr. Bradley's historical sermon
on the occasion of the semi-centennial anniver
sary of t Episcopal Church in' Indiana is
questioned by an old citizen whose memory and
records run bsek almost to the beginning of the
city. "Th Doctor' sketch of Christ Church
and the eity," he said, yesterday, was a little
more positive on the point of the first settlement
here than the evidence will warrant ' The' first
white settlers came here in 1819, he said. That
is by no means certain. ' Though long sgo ac
cepted as the traditional origin of the city, it
baa been always di5puted by som who had good
opportunities to knowth truth. As early aa
1823 Dr. Mitchall, on of the earliest settlers,
and most intelligent professional men in this
place, published an elaborate, refutation of the .
claim of George Pogue to th honor cf being,
th first settler. Cyrus Wheuel. of the BluSa .
a settler ther in 1519 -conErmshim, sod Mrs.
King, widow of on of tbe McCormicks of 1SC0.
told Mr. It B. Duncan that her buaband and
Pocue came here in the summer of 1519, and se
lected aites for homes to which both cam the
following February, 1S20. ilcCormick ssltfed
near the run, and Pogue further east near the
est bluff of th creek bottom. That waa in
1S20. Mr. Bradley also says that "there were)
Indians here till 1S24." There, were som living
in the nesr neighborhood so late as 1821, but
about the falls of Fall creek and the site
of th Shawnese villages, in what is
now all Madifon county, there were som rem
nants of these tribes that held their territory
till tb treaty cf St larv'a in 1518 required
them toleav and give full possession to the
whites in 1S2L .Th murder cf two Indian
families in 1824 by a half dozen white outlaws,
tjok place some miles above Pendleton, thirty
miles from here, and the trial of the murderers
was at Madison. By th way, x-TJnlted States
Sentor O. IL Smith, in his Indiana sketches,
ssys: "This was the first tim that a whit bad
ever been iried. convicted and executed for the)
murder of an Indian."
"Your own recollections ot b tim Eplseo
palUm cam into the town are, no doubt,' many
and varied," the reporter suggested.
"Yea There was one strange incident asso
ciated with the history of Christ Church,
though no part of it that some even of the
members may never have heard. The . first
church was built in JS33, and here was hesrd
the first church organ and the first choir ever
heard in Iodianapolia. The first organist I
think, wss the first wife of the late William H.
Morrison. The sec end was a young lady front
the East whose sister accompanied her, and '
Itrobably assisted -her ia keeping a school Tba'
atter io 1839 married a half-blood "nigger," a
rank offense against good sense and delicacy, if
no more, even in these days; but fifty years aro,
in a community mainly composed ot immigrants
from Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and North,
Carolina, it was something a little lees abomin
able than incest but a good deal worse than
murder. A mob gathered around th. house
where tbe ceremony was going on, intending t .
prevent it Falling in that under tbe lead of m
prominent professional man and Whig politician
Dr. George W. Stipp, tbe bridegroom was taken
out to Crbwdsr's (letsr Garners) farm, at tbe
Crawfordsville road ford, and there ridden on a
rail, and. some laid, tarred and feathered, bet
this was denied by others. II was warned to
leave the place at one and did so. His foolish)
wife was not molested by the mob, and. waa
later allowed to join him, and they and the or
ganist sister left here, never to be beard of aft
erwards,"
The contrast between the Christ Churchi
building ef that time aud to-day was, no doubt,
remarkable"
Tbe oneieal Christ Church, built in 1838.
was a frame, fronting south, with a low wooden
tower surmonnted by five little wooden pyra
mids, tb tallest in the middle, the others on tbe
corn era It stood till 1857, acd was then bought
by the African Melh.dist congregation, of the
old 'colored" church ns Georgia, street near tb
canal, wher tb famous Bishop Ouion used to
preach during bis visits here from Baltimore,- It
was burned som half dozen year after ita re
moval The corner-stone was laid on the 7th of
May, 1638, and is notable in city history as the
first corner-etone ever laid . with the
ceremonies thst have sine become so
familiar. It was s'so notable for the fact
that it contained the first silver coins of
our nsw national coinage that had reached the
town. They were brought from the East by
Mr. E. K. Foster, a jeweler, who happened to
take some of them in bis pocket to tbe corner
stone celebration, and, when the deposit of
newspspers, records and otkr 'memoranda
was made, a set of half dimes, dimes and Quar
ters was put with them. This coioage ran out
tbe Spanish pillared quarters, th 'levies' or
'bits,' and tb picayunes' or 'fips. ,' Christ
Church corner-stone held tb advacc guard of
th army of patriotic home-made coins.''
