LOUIS,
Dec. 5.—The Missouri Leg
islature will meet to-morrow at Jefferson City. Governor Brown's message iB devoted 'largely to State affairs. He icfers to his appointments to office declaring them to be representatives rather of fitness and capacity, than of partisan favor. This branch of the subject is so treated as to bear inferentially upon civil service reform in the country at large. He commends radical revision of revenue laws and the payment in gold of interest on Slate bonds. He also recommends a Constitutional ordinance embracing a charter for the city of St. Louis, whose provisions will thereby have some permanency and not be altered and matila'ed at every session of the Legislature. lie devotes considerable space io National affairs and deprecates the tendency towards centralization at the expense of local State governments. He draws a distinction between Republican principles and the Republican party and from this staud point frames a scathing indictment of the national administration- The results of the last election in this State are referred to and a contrast is drawn between the condition of our people under liberalism and those of the South.

DANCING.—Our dancing people will be interested in the-report that the "German" is going out of fashion, and that many ladies refuse to dance it. There is nothing like a square dance for making two people acquainted in a ball room. Instead of madly reeling round the room, hot and breathless, they may enjoy a little .quiet conversation..or.. flirtation in the pauses of a quadrille, which is simply impossible in a round dance.

"PRIDE goeth before a fall." Yesterday morning, a youthful rural gent&man stepped out of aMain etreet establishment) equipped in all the radiance of a pair of new red-topped boots, and while contemplating their gloss, his-feet suddenly ilew out from under him He fell prone on his back, and the red-tops waved in the air like piratical flags. Sometimes, as i* happens, "innocent" people stand on slippery places. 1
LEAVES have their time to fall, and fall has its time to leave but not for two week»yet, for the almanac makers insist that winter does not begin till December 22 or thereabouts, thus keeping up the fiction of fall long after everything excepting the price of coal has fallen, and ?th^jseverest cold season has set in.. That is the iifual phrase—"sets in:" but when cold weather comes it generally sets out, and sets out to do its worst.
On Saturday last a colored man resul^ ing in this city,wentto Trustee Nay lor and with pallid dhteks and limbs tremb-^ ling in every joint, informed Mr. Naylor that a man was sick at his house, and, said he 'fore God, 1 b'lieve he'* got de small-pox."

A SUGGESTION.'—The season for sociables is at hand—and we feel inclined to offer a suggestion or two in regard to them. Let's all go, if we possibly can( Let's all go early, and go home early. It is just the same number of hours from seven to ten as irom nine to twelve. Let's go neatly clad, but don't let us think that it is necessary to wear the best we have, and so make it somewhat unpleasant for other people who can't dress quite as well as'we can. Let's "have plain food for refreshments, and not talk scandal while we remain.
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—The season has arrived when it is positive cruelty to permit a beast to stay out of doors a single night. A sense of justice to these animals, which exist only for our use, if he does not consult his own interest, should impel every farmer immediately to put every stable and shed on the farm into proper condition, to fasten all loose boards close all open windows and make hi stock snug and comfortable. What shall be said, however, of those farmers who when they come to town, leave their poor horses exposed throughout to the bitter cold.
THE coal miners over the river on Monday ruck for higher wages. They agreed to work for the same as the Highland and Harmony, miners, and sent a man over to see what they were getting. They found that, they were getting only 85 cents per ton, while they (the Sugar Creek miners) were already receiving 90 cents. They then demanded one dollar per ton, and slopped work. Mr. Barrick went over yesterday and was obliged to yield to their demand, but informs us that he will not advance the price of coal to consumers at present.
OUR people will keep*""in mfnd the Fair at Dowling Hall, on Monday and Tuesday evenings next, under the auspices of the Ladies Aid Society. These noble,
self-sacrificing ladies are exerting every possible effort to make the Fair a success. In this connection we are desired to say that several members of the soliciting committee are in ill-h ,aid csnn ot get about this cool weather. They ask that all who desire to contribute to the tables or any articles suitable for the "poor and needy, will do so, and send the same to the Hall on Monday morning, whether called on or not.

At the unseasonable hour of eleven o'clock tjbat^njglit Colonel Dowling was taken from'his "bed and conveyed to Dow ling Hall, where the Prairie City Guards' Ball was in progress. On arriving there Mr. Martin M. Hollinger, in behalf of the Guards, presented- the Colonel an elegant gold-headed cane bearing a suita hie inscription. Colonel D. was not little surprised, but he is seldom at a loss for words, and he responded with much feeling. .The warm and active interest taken by /Colonel D. in the success of the receol.enlertaininents under the auspices of the Guards was thfe cause of this worthy demonstration.
COALS.—The Indianapolis "Jour
nal" mentions that Professor Cox has received at his office, in the State House, specimens of coal from three localities in Indiana, where the veins are not worked, and in fact are but little known. The first is a fair sample of block coal, presented by Judge Wm. M. Franklin, of Spencer, which comes from a vein in the western part of Owen county. The other two were brought by Prof. John Collett, of Eugene, Professor-Cox's assistant. The first is. a semi-block, from a vein in Vermillion county, near Mr. Collett's home, and is a' very good article. The other is a splendid caking coal, taken from a heavy vein running through the eastern part of Green county. They are all good looking specimens, and furnish additional evidence, if any is needed, of the inexhaustible mineral wealth of' Indiana.
A LATE paper decides that the plural of titmouse is titmouses, and not titmice. "On the same principle," says another paper, "the plural of tailor's goose is gooses, as indeed we hold that it is." This reminds us of an anecdote with regard to a merchant who wanted two of those tailor's irons several years ago, and ordered them of a hardware merchant. He first wrote this order: "Please send me two tailor's gooses." Thinking that this was bad grammar, he destroyed it, and wrote as follows: "Please send me two tailor's geese." Upon reflection, he destroyed this one also, for fear he should receive live geese. He thought over the matter till he was very much worried, and at last, in a moment of desperation, he seized his pen and wrote the following which was duly posted: "Please send me one tailor's goose and, hang it, send me another."

The'fiharp wind and nipping cold interfered somewhat with the-peculiar interest of the occasion but with the manageri of this road theie can be no postponement on account of the weather, as it is their intention to push the work rapidly, and thus convince every one, if necessary, that they are acting in good faith in the efi'ort to develop the material wealth of Ibdiana.
In the eiuberance oT'good feeling Dr. W. L. Mahan, who assisted the ceremonies with his presence, paid a fabulous price for the ax used in making and driving the first slake on the road, and will doubtless keep it as a much-prized memento to be handed down to posterity.

THE boy who spends an hour of*^each evening lounging idly on a street corner, wastes in the course of a year three hundred and sixty-five precious hours, which, if applied to:study, would familiarize him with rudiments of almost any familiar science. If, in addition to wasting an hour each evenipg, he spends ten cents for a cigar, wljicK is usually the case, the amoufitMb thUs'worse than wasted. Bojs think of these thing*j think how much precious, time a^d money jou are pasting, and for what? You cannot indulge in these practices without seriously injuring yourselves- You may in afterlife shake them ofi, but the probabilities are that the habits thus formed in early life, will remain with you to your dying day. Be warned, then, in time, and resolve that as-the hour spent in idleness is gone for ever, you will improve each passing one, Slid thereby fit yourself for usefulness and happiness'.^
J,."* CEREMONIAL SPEECH. S
It is with no ordinary feeling oTWtisfaction and pride, as a citizen bf this State, that I see my friend Burnett with shovel in hand, and these preparations for active work to begin (in this Unfilled gap) upon another one of those great enterprisesi that develop material wealth, and help to swell the great tidal wave of civilizatfiJH^dTrogttSK 'The hands I see now at the plow, are not the hands of men who look back I conclude, therefore, that the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railroad ^Company is a live thing, and comes as. 'near having a soul as any corporation I ever heard of, for it it has not less than 100,000 corporators in this State who have by their votes, subscribed to its capital stock. Aud it is emphatically the peoples' road they need itj-they have faith in it they are helping tovbuild it and the earth you move this morning will comfruAicate its impetus to its fellow earth, until the whole broad way is leveled for the iron superstructure. Give it therefore a vigorous throw, and this great mass of interested builders will keep the land sliding to the level of an easy grade.
We, who are at this end of the line, do bOt need'fo be told that this road will pay,' we know that beneath your shovels but a few feet lie strata of our hidden wealth, for we see where the neighbors, have removed the earth, and supplied themselves with coal. We know it is good we have seen it glowing in their grates we know there is plenty for we can measure the depth of the seatn. How much more of the same kind there is below this vein the augur muBt reveal. Our wants have been supplied with this, and may be all our lives, and for ages beyond. What we see with our own eyes we want no geologist to affirm but that this and other veins underlie this' whole country 'for miles on either side of this road in this county, we have their word, and much ocular proof besides, like this before us. That those great banks of wealth increase in thickness and richness, as we approach the heart of the great coal field through the centre of which this road runs, we know, for we have been there, liave seen it and handled it, and what more do we want? Or what more does any one want to inspire confidence in this enterprise? All who feel dri interest cannot see as we do, and cannot believe as we do, and with all this before us, we do not appreciate the great mineral wealth of this part of our State. Prolessor Cox estimates the average value of coal per acre in Clay county at $23,350,00, and that there are 300 square miles of coal-field in Clay county. We do not suppose our ooal lands arc as valuable'as Clay county, yet we cover her entice^western border, and her: block coal' we know reaches our county. The estimates of Professor Cox are very safe, and business men do not need to be told that a road passing through such ex haustless beds of coal, and especially block ooal, would lack freight or business. One has not to pass through this coal field on. the older roads to see what industry railroads beget in- such regions, and what enormous demands this industry imposes upon the transporting capacities of railroads and yet, it has but begun over there labor has just commenced. The older roads cut this ccal field at its narrowest point—this road at its broadest. Within six months this road will be established and in active work in the center of this great field, and with its net work of feeders radiating in every direction, it -will be prepared to supply without limit the best coal on the Continent at cheaper rates than any other road, because the supply is easier obtained and itB communication is more direct. It cuts the great arteries of traffice north and south, and the nearest point to the place of lading. To a stranger this would appear speculative, but we feel and know it to be true. And time which proves all things will shortly demonstrate the problem. No one however anticipates the full realization of the truth until the completion of the enterprise, Cincinnati must be reached, and we predict that no road ever entered that city which has brought the sources of wealth and comfort this will bring. Cheap coal, from the West seems Utopian, But the experiment is worth trying. The coal is here and the highway is projected and the earth this morning begins to move. Miners are prospecting for coal shafts, and you mav before long see in the Cincinnati Commercial an item like this: "To Coal Burners. McDowell with 50 cars of block coal from the mines of Clay county, passed over the C. & T. II. R. R. and into our city. Coal will open this morning at greatly reduced prices, and our consumers will now be supplied, whether the river rises or not, with a better article than Pennsylvania can lumish. Our business men have had an eye to the growth and prosperity of our city in favoring this enterprise, aud their foresight is commendable."
When you see that article you can start your augurs for the lower strata, for the demand will not be easily supplied. If I could transport her capitalists to this end of the line and reveal to them these storehouses of wealth, I think they would hasten the time A'hen such an announcement would be made- To us this road supplies the vacant space in this direction and opens up to our county and city as fertile a farming country as can be found in the west. Opening to us the cornfields of Eel river and the wheatfields of Owen county, as well as the timber, stone and ore there stored in inex haustless quantities, now inaccessible to us. This road will people this region with farmers, traders, mechanics, miners and the sparse settlements of fifty miles south east will speedily become populous, and stimulated industry will make a new world out of this almost unknown quarter. With its prosperity we are benefitted with their development we thrive. If this view is true with other roads in other directions, how much more may it be depended upon in this direction where more than tbe wealth of California and Australia lie beneath the surface. We 'liSve eVerv reason to urge on the work, for we reap the first fruits we are tbe nearest market we are the nearest to tbe great' centre of labor we must furnish, and for some time the supplies. The tide, therefore, of trade must set towards us, and if Terre Ilaule is wise she will make this traffic so interesting that other points will not even divide it with her. She can, and must hold it. She has already opened her hand liberally. She never made a better investment.

A" fashionable wedding will take place at Meridian Street Methodist Episcopal Church on the 21at inst. The gentleman is a prominent lawyer of Terre Hante, and the lady a resident of this city well known for her Iwanty and many accomplishments
There are other things she might do, and should do. Tbere are things her business men might do, and if not done speedily, strangers will do them. Live men will get between us and these great sources of wealth, and we will wake up some morning and find oureelves switched off. And while we may desire the benefit of the commercial transactions, of trade, development.. (Sc., the actual profits upon profitable investments now begging takers will be pocketed by men who see conclusions sooner than we do, and while'"ihe waters are being troubled," step in. Do BO, too. Don't wait 'to be put in, for they will never be troubled but once in this direction. When these valuable lands once pass out of the haads of the present holders, good bye to any portion'except a sub-lease. If it is better to pay royalty than to receive it, tfien it is better to hoid still but passive or active, we cannot escape the benefits. We might increase them we can not, and will not, lose this golden opportnoitr.
OUR GOOD
FARMERS.—In
MOTHEB SHIPTON'S
passing
through the country At tfcls seasdn of the year, why is It that w* see only a few farms that seem to.be wall fenCftl, ltd of which the dwellings and othar baOding* Iste in gbod repair? These fc* fiinHart always free from weeds,, invariably yield, good crops and precent a neat and attract ive appearance. The owners of thi premises attend to their business. They make a business of farming. They get their crops in at the proper season, and harvest them when they are properly matured. Their cash acsoont is always in their favor, the balance being on the rlfcht side. They have no time to waste at the saloons or groceries. If they have spare time, it is devoted to reading and self-culture. They always subscribe, and pay for their local paper first, and others are not discarded. They and their families are well informed upon the current topics of the day. Their children are educated, well clad, and well bred. These men are the substantial and influential men of the country. They keep it respectable. These are the men to whom the country ever looks in time of need. They always have opinions upon subjects, and their views are never in market. Ever open to conviction, never to corruption, they may sometimes be a little ex elusive, but they are ever ready to assist their less favored neighbors to rise to the same plain upon which they stand. They aie reserved, but true, cautious, and sure, and they constitute the hope and safety of our republic.
prophesy is almost
forgotten except by antiquarians. It was first published in 1488, and republished next in 1641. It must be confessed that the greater part of it has already been fulfilled, and we have only ten years to wait in order to determine whether theconcluding lines will prove as true as the earlier ones. These are Mother Shipton's -'i nt •$-? words: r- 1
Carriages without horses shall go, And accidents fill the world with woe. Around the world thoughts shall fly In the twinkling of an eye. Water shall yet more wonders do Now strange, yet shall be true. The world upside down shall be, And gold be found at root of tree. Through hills men shall ride, And no horse or ass be at his side.. Sfft ^Under water men shall walk Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk. In the air men shall be seen, In white, in black, in green. Iron in the water shall float As easy as a wooden boat. Gold shall be found, and found 1 In a land that's not now known. Fire and water shall wonders do England shall at last admit a Jew. KS The world to an end shall cotrfte In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.

The'"Burlinften Route," so-called, lies right in the path of the Star Empire. It runs almost immediately in the center of the great westward movement of emigration. Crossing Illinois and Iowa, it strikes the Missouri river at three points.
These three points are the gateways into three great sections of the trans-Missouri region.
The Northern gate is Omaha, where the great Paoifie road will take you to the Uadoi gold and grapes, sunny mountains, and perpetual summer.
The middle gate is Ptattsmoutb, which opens upon the south half of Nebraska, south of the Platte river, a region unsurpassed on the continent for agriculture and grazing. Just here are the 8. M. Railrood lands, concerning which Geo. S. Hairii, the land officer at Burlington. Iowa, can give you all information, and in the heart of them is Lincoln, the State Capital and present terminus of the road.
The Southern gate cads to Kansas, by connections with the St. Joe Road at Hamburg. running direct to St. Joe and Kansas City
The trains of the Burlington run smoothly aad safely, and make aH connections- IT ons the best of coaches. Pullman Palace and Pulluian dining cars, and should you take the journey for the journey's sake alone, yon will be repaid or :o take it to find a home or a farm, and you cannot find either better than among the* B.

Warm clotning alone will not protect the body against the consequences of tbe sudden depression of temperature which
is
concomi
tant of early winter. Flannol next the skin preserves the animal heat, but it does no impart animal vigor. That property is the special prerogative of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is therefore a specific protection against the majority of the complaints which are most common at this season. For example, a course of the great vegetable invigorant, commenced now, will be almost sure to preclude chills and fever, biliou." colic, disorders of the stomach, constipation, and many other complaints which are often the
or indirect effect of an atmosphere
surcharged with cold, unwholesome vapor. Moreover, the system toned aad regulated by this moans is much more likely to resist pulmonary disease than it would otherwiso be: fox the influenco of searching medicine pervades all the organs, and every fiber and tis
of (he frame. Persons whose vital powers are weak, espocially invalid ladies and the aged, are earnestly recommended not to face the winter's rigor without having recourse to this safe and sufficient means of
