ll is Iho general belief in In
diana (lint Senator Voorhees
will soon retire from public
life I<> recuperate bis health,
though bis friends still persist
in saving lie is still gaining
strength so rapidly that lie will
lie a candidate for re-election
to 1 lie Cnited States senate
next winter. That the senator
has been greatly atllcted for
more than a year past with
heart trouble no one who has
known his condition can deny,
and many believe be is still
critically ill, so that whether
he will ever be himself again
remains to be seen.
Daniel \V. Voorhces lias been
a United States senator for In
diana since Nov, 111, 1577. when
he was appointed by Governor
Williams Oliver !’. .Morton, de
ceased, and he lias been three
times eleceed to the office by
the Indiana legislature, a rec
ord without parallel in the his
tory of the state. Previous to
his entering the senate lie had
been four times elected to the
house of representatives, so
that altogether lie has served
more titan a quarter of a cen
tury in the national congress.
In his early life Mr. Voorhees
was a most unique character in
Indiana politics, and he had a
personal following equalled by
few men in public affairs. Hi
personal appearance then was
mueh in hi** favor, as he was
tall, broad-shouldered and with
a handsome face and luxuriant
auburn hair, while his voice
| H )SSt *St k tl 11 peculiar charm to
all who heard it. Ho was a
natural orator, and his speeches
on the stump and in the court
room were alwos listened to by
throngt of people. Had he
kept out of politics and devoted
himself to law exclusively many
believe lie would be the tore
most lawyer of the west. He
took to polities naturally, how
ever, and lias kept in the tur
moil of party battles all his
life, only engaging in the law
occasionally when his gifts as
advocate wen* most demanded.
In his training for the law
and polities Voorhces had for
his preceptor Edward A. Hun
negiin. eloquent, brilliant but
erratic, many times a member
of the state legislature, a mem
ber of congress, United States
senator and minister to Prussia
during the Fillmore administra
tion. He was, without doubt,
the greatest orator of his time,
and Daniel Webster said <>l
him; “If 1 had not made my
name before Hannegaii was
heard in the senate I would
have occupied a small place in
history. ”
Au observer will not the in
fluence of llantiegan upon the
character of Voorhees even to
this day, and in many particu
lars his life has been Hailllegaii
over again—sanguine, improvi
dent. a feast today, u famine
tomorrow. Those who have
heard Haimega ll in the full
power of his liery elis|uence
would see a reproduction, when,
during the early days of the
war, Voorhees went to and fro
calling on the gods to destroy
Republican party. Then he
was in his prime, the tall syca
more of the Wabash, the ideul
of leaders, worshipped by In*
followers, and hated by his op
ponents, 'mt only tor his cause.
His audacity was boundless,
and lie denounced the I'nion
soldiers to such an extent that
Ibr a time hi* head was in dan
ger, yet -I* y, ..;s after he was a
soldier's friend in Congress.
No orator possessed such a pe
culiar voice ss did Voorhees,
for. like Hatiuegan, his words
were spoken with a peculiar in
tonation, having somewhat the
noli flavor of Scotch brogue,
and vet without broadness, and
[laving a resounding charactcr
i*lio seldom heard.
“Let a mob come rushing
down the street,” says a local
histsriun, "Voorhees could put
them at bay with a single plea,
for all could hear his voice, and
would stop to listen. In 1850
lie made his first race for Con
gress. lie was then a young
lawyer ul Covington, Fountain
county, and his opponent was
James L. Wilson, of Crawford--
ville, the most, brilliant Repub
lican in t lie dist riel at the I inc .
At once the contest between
these Hotspurs ‘set the woods
afire.’ Away they went hi
horseback to the log-rollings
and quiltings; then as the sum
mer came on they worked in
the harvest field with the har
vesters during tile days and
made speeches in the school
houses at night. For weeks it
was Jim and Dan and Dan and
Jim from the battlefield of Ti| -
paealine to British Ridge in
Montgomery. Big Raccoon in
Parke and the “Wabashin j
Vermillion, their friends escort
ing them from place to place,
each side claiming victory, and !
declaring its candidate the ‘big-1
gest speaker.’ Wilson was a
small, wiery man, with an easy 1
command of speech, perfect i
control of himself, quick to at \
tack, incisive in statement, yet
given to humor enough to keep
his popularity at fu'l tide.
Voorhces found him a danger
oils adversary, and as the con
test closed each felt confident
of victory, with the clianc«B fa
vorable to Voorhees. Related
election returns, however,
showed Wilson elected, and r
seemed VooHiees’a career i"
public life was ended at its be
ginning. It is a coincidence
that .'52 years after this contest
a son of James L. Wilson suc
ceeded a son of Daniel W. Voor
bees an congressman from Wash
ingtoii Territory, and is now
I'nited States senator John L.
Wilson, of Washington.
Two years after his de'e.i* b\
Wilson, Voorhces was appoint,

and to show the continuity of

and Ilovey, !52 years lab r, wer
opposing candidates for I'nited
States Senator. It was while
serving as I’nited Statesdistriei
attorney that Voorhees, in ItdV.l
went to Virginia at the request
of Governor Willard to defen
John K. Cook, the governor’s
brother-in-law, and one John
Brown's raiders.
In 1800 Voorhees was elected
to congress from the Terre-
Haute district, defeating Thus.

campaigner,full of coii'plirren'.
sarcasm, drollery, quick at re
partee, and when necessary
could equal Voorheese at word
painting. He was a handsome
man, a Chesterfield, and one
whom every one knew as "the
delightful Tom Nelson.” Af
terward President Lincoln ap
pointed him minister to Mexico,
and President Grant gave him
the mission to Chili, liisdcuth
occurred only u few weeks ago
at Terre Haute. In 1802 Voor
Iteeg defeated Harvey D. Scott
for congress, and in |Bl>| ran
against Henry D. Washburn,
who gave him a hard nice, and
gained the seat on a contest,
lie now remained in private
life until 1808, when lie was
again a candidate for congress
against Major William VV. Car
ter, a leading lawyer of Clay
county. The great issue that
year will tin* “nigger” question.
Voorhees was in lighting lorm,
and “a white man's govern
meni” was the- subject of hi
story, told with all the fervor
he could command. Oi, on**
occasion lie made a special plea
to enpturc thv vote of a Repuh
lien ll who was tender on tin*
negro quest ion, as follows:
“There is yet one part id' tin*
negro question I must speak
about before I close, much as I
dislike to do so. Just think of
it, my countrymen, this black
Republican party not only pro-;
po*es to give nigger husbands
to our fair daughters, but neve
than that. They propose to
give each nigger a section of mi'
best land, build a bouse on il
furnish it with costly furni
ture, provide him with hors-*:
and cattle and wagons and bug
gies and all the luxuries of life!
And how will tin- black Kepti' -
lican patty do all this.' Why.,
by taxing you and me. fucle
John, until the burden of taxa
tion will lie mountain high.”
“Great Scott! Daniel, you
don’t mean it, do you V” ex
claimed t ncle John. t
i "Jl is as true ay Uw *t<T,v of
the saints uudUiH the apostil, ”
replied Voorhees, without a
tremor, and Uncle John became
n Democrat from that verv hour.
Major Carter was defeated in
tin* election, ninl Voorhces en
tered upon a new leas.* of pub
lic life. It was while waiting
tor the election returns in this
| contest, and when it 5,.,. 1n ,, ( |
Voorhees had been vanquished
by Carter, that he exclaimed.
Wait until \ve heuriruin Sweet
Owen county!” He was not
disappointed in the news from
Owen, and the county has since
been ‘‘Sweet Oven’’ ffi every
campaign.
The campaign in Indiana in
187(5 was hotly waged, tin- Dem
ocrats showing unrest, and
•whell it seemed \ oorltees ]jml
Thomas A. Hendricks on the
ticket for Vic** President, and
James I). Williams for Govern
or against Benjamin Harrison,
whom the Republicans had
placed at the head of t heir t i,*k
et in place of Gudim, e S, Orth,
resigned. Yoorhci was not a
candidate for office this year,
and so took charge of the cam
paign for Mr. Williams, who
was a favorite with ih plain
people. All through the state
the Voorhees.Will jams combi-,
nation passed, the former mak
ing the principal speeches and
showing off the latter in the
best possjlik* milliner. Tin* Re
publican press was making great
sport of Williams, on account
of the clothes lie wore, and call
ed him Blue Jeans Williams
Voorhees took up this criticism
and declared Ben Harrison was
such an aristocrat that he al
ways wore kid gloves. At once
the kid glove against Harsison
was taken up by tin* Democrats
with telling effect, and before
(lie campaign was over the Re
publicans were sick of the blue
jeans issue they had raised.
Williams was elected, and there
were those who believed Har
rison had been permanently re
tired from polities by the result
of that election.
Mr. Voorhees was never a
candidate for president, no
doubt because of the ambition
of Mr. Heiidriek| in that direc
tion, between whom and Mr.
Voorhees there was the closest
friendship.
Then in 1880 Joseph E. Mc-
Donald tried for the presiuen
tial nomination, supported by
Voorhees and Hendricks, but
the latter was the favorite of
the convention and was named
for vice president. Vouchees
and McDonald were also close
friends, and, on the surface,
McDonald and Hendricks ap
peared to be cordial, but they
were not. Tills was largely Oil
account of th*' lack of harmony
I>etween Mrs ll**ndricks and
Mrs, McDonald. Senator Tur
pie was always the confidant of
Voorhees, Hendricks and Mc-
Donald as In* was the most bil
ler partizan the Democracy of
Indiana ever produced, and
wnite lie was u*> favorite with
Gray, the latter despised Mc-
Donald so thoroughly lie favor
ed Turpie in order to defeat Mc-
Dounld for the senat* in 1801.
It is rather curious that Vouc
hees has always been on warm
personal terms with Ec(>nhlicaii
leaders, and now tli.it he i., ill
there is general sympathy for
him among men of all parlies.

Smile time after her depar

Mrs Bryan discovered that she
had hist her engagement ring.
After looking for it in the car
telegrams were sent to Pitts
burg a-kiug that search be
made. She remembered that
she had tin* ring at hnakfust
tin* ruing of her departure.
This gave the police a clew,
aud, after failing to find it at
the Central hotel, they decided
to try tin* carriage in which Mr.
iiiml Mrs. Brvan hud been taken
to the Union Station.
They burned the vehicle hud
been hired from the Pittsburg
Transfercompauy. When they
arrive I there, they learned that
the ring had been found by a
! carriage washer, who hud turn
ed it into the office.
The ring is a slender band of
gold, with a dark ruby setting.
Il is well worn, but the clumps
which hold the stone are strong
and firm.
On the inner surface of (lu
ring is this inscription: “Will
to Mamie, June 1, 1880.”
When found in the carriage,
it wa- Im-iil a* if it had ts-i-ii

SUNDAY TRADING IN TIFF
PAST.
It may safely be asserted
that from the time of the Con
queror (tOW-1087(Sunday trad
ing received much attention.
In early ages markets and fairs
were held on Sundays, and fre
quently in the churchyards.
In IBOT. the inhabitants of
Cockermouth presented a peti
tion to parliament, as their
market was fast declining tliro’
the inhabitants of (Tost It waitc
dealing in corn, flour, beans,
fiesh, fish, at their church on
Sundays, and that thereby they
were unable to pay their tolls
to the king (Edward I). An
order was issued for closing
the church market at Crusth-
I wnite.
At Bradford, V orkshire, dur
ing the same reign, the market
was held on a Sunday, doubt
less in the churchyard. The
toll yielded t‘*> per annum.
In 128-7 a statute was passed
enacting that henceforth neitli
er fairs nor markets he he’d in
churchyards, for the honor of
the church.
In 1)112 a market was granted
to the town of Sedgefiold, Dur
ham, to be held on a Friday,
but was soon changed to Sun
day.
In 151(57 the arehbislmps of
: Canterbury and York delivered
j charges directing, among othcK
iliings, that "w<* firmly forbid
any one to keep a market in
the cltnrehes, tin* porches and
i lie cemeteries t hereunto belong
ing nr other holy place- on tin*
i Lord’s day or otlmr holy festi
vals.” —Notes and (Queries.
HIS FATHER PLAYED THE
ORGAN.
A very simple and natural
misunderstanding lately creat
ed a bit of amusement in New
York and was thought worth
reporting in The Herald:
At one of thu newsboys"
homes on the east side applica
tion was received for tin* admis
sion of a newsboy. The appli-
cant presented himself in per
son, and he was the kind of a
boy tliut filled tin* womanly
heart of the matron with de
light—bright, manly and as
pretty as a picture, .lb* was
subject ed to the usual cross ex
animation. One of the ques
tions was, “Who is your fa
ther?”
“Mi faddor plays de organ at
de Broadway Tabernacle,” was
his quick reply.
Here was news. The son of
the organist in u large aud
wealthy church applying for en
trance to a charitable institu
tion. Tin* matron side trucked
the boy and ordered an investi
igation.
The bright boy was right.
ILs father played and still plays
i the organ at the Broadway Tub*
• iuncle. But it is the barrel
organ in front of th<- cnurch 00
the Sixth avenue curb. Every*
body who passes the eorm-r has
seen him und his l"g»nd:

WORDS OF WISDOM.
Reading makes a full man,
conversation a ready, and wril
! ing an exact man.
Virtue, if not in action, is a
vice; and when we move not for
ward we go backward.
Every noble life leaves the li-
I her of it interwoven forever in

Life’s reckoning we cannot
make twice over. You cannot
mend a wrong subtraction by
doing your addition right.
It is awful hard to convince
a man that his wife loves him
when lie gets up in the night
and finds tile match box emp
ty.
Many a man who claims to be
looking for work-wouldn't rec
ognize a job if it stepped up and
lapped him on the shoulder,
To be free minded and cheer
