TIicCrsuvlloi dNviilc Railroad. Tho Indiana Journal says "The County Commissioners on yesterday morning rendered a decision allowing: the appropriation to secure tho right! of way for the Indianapolis, Craw fordsville and Danvillo Railroad thro' tho county, from tho west bank of White River to tho western lino of the county. Tho work on this road has begun ^t^Crawfotdsvillc, from which point tho contractors are working in this direction, and also at Pekin and Danville, Illinois. It is now intended to let the whole line between this city and Crawfordsvillo on the 16th inst., and it is confidently predicted that the work will bo completed and tho cars running by tho middle of next summer. Montgomery county donates one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars toward it, aud other points are equally liberal. Wo understand that no stock has beon taken in this count}7 and tho city subscription of forty-five thousand dollars is not payable until the road is completed und the cars running forty miles west of the city. Having provided for the building of tho road and secured the right of way everywhere on the line except from White River to the count}' lina, it was eminently wise and proper that tho nccessary amount to secure this should bo appropriated by the County Commissioners. Tho sum is said to be fifteen thousand dollars, which will add but an iota of weight to the tax duplicate.
An Indian Dog Feast.
The correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat, was ono of the invited guests, at a dog feast given by an Indian chief ''Spotted Tail." He thus describes the ceremonies "As tho occasion was one which promisod novelty, wo_ icadliy accept ed. Ori our arrival we found the supplies of Indian delicacies commensurate with the quality of the guests. The cooking was simple enough without salt or condiment. We ail squattod ourselves on the ground, and the old and young squaws acted as servitors for tho occasion. In the center of the circle wero two dogs, of a dropsical appcarance, the hair merely cut close, and roasted entire. intestines and all. Over this ex

Tho meat, appeared to be of a brownish color, somewhat resembling pur poise meat. If we might judge by the oily stakes about the capacious mouths of the chiefs, and the pleasure which sparkled in their eyes, we would pronounce dog meat delicious. "AfLer the feast was over, there were threo canino skeletons left on their respective dishc-s, forlorn looking remnants of dogs that once barked. Tomahawks answering the purposo of pipes, as woll as instruments of bloody deeds, wero handed to us, and as this was an important epoch in Spotted Tail's life, he caused them to bo filled with leaf of nicotiang quadrivalvis. Generally, tho tobacco they uso, is composed of tho dried leaves of tho sakakorni plant (arbutus ovaursi.) or kinnikinick, a willow bark. Till a lato hour wo smoked a tomahawk that was once steeped in gory brains, and nndor tho soothing influence of the tobacco, wovo bright Tndian legends."

BY THE "FAT CONTRIBUTOR.
From the Cincinnati Time*.'
Shyiock was a Jew, who kept a sccond hand clothing store in Venice. By bu}*ing low arid soiling for all that he could get, doing Jbis own cooking by a gas stovo, having no washing done, and never spending a cent, he had accumulated numerous ducats which ho wasn't averse to lending on collateral, provided the borrower hadn't any conscientious scruples about paying twenty per cent, a month or such a matter, for\iho accommodation. Antonio was a merchant of Venice, wbo speculated a good deal and owned numerous canal boats. Ho had a friend named Bassanio, who wa? in love with a rich widow, Portia but having lived a free life, driving fast horses, and dining expensively at tho St. Lawrenco very often, ho hadn't tho roady cash wherewith to compete with his more wealthy rivals.
His fathor, tired of paying for his cxtravaganco, refused him any more money. "Go to tho ant, thou sluggard," the stern parent said. Ho did, he went to Antonio, being as willing to owe him as anybody. Now Antonio had invested nearly all that he possessed in wheat, tho market being low, but as soon as his canal boats arrived ho cxpectod to soil at a great advance, and bo fixed. But, being anxious that his friend should havo a stake, he agreed to borrow some ducats for him, if his credit would admit.
Tho next day, meeting Shylook on tho Rialto, (which differs somewhat from the cdto heard at concert saloons, not having so much rye in it) ho asked a loan of three thousand ducats.
Shyiock bore no lovo to Antonio, nor to any of his tribe, on account of the scorn heaped upon him. He dissembled, however, and said he would like to accommodato him, but hadn't the money ready—ho would have to see his brother-in-law. Ho at length agreed to provide the threo thousand ducats for three months, facetiously stipulating that Antonio should sign a bond (it was such a joke agreeing to forfeit a pound of flesh (flie .J«W could hardly tell it for lauj hing)to be cut off wherever ho, UITJOW, decided, in case ho failed to pay tho money whon due, "so help him gracious." Antonio believing in tho success of his wheat speculation, and having heard that his boats were well on their way from Chicago, accepted the conditions and signed tho bonds.
Bassanio took the three thousand
young widow. He was most assidu-
olls
'n his attentions. Jle brought her
Sunday afternoon, and took her to the German lager beer gardens of an evening to hear the music. In the sweet delerium ot love the days and dueals passed swiftly away.
Bassanio became the accepted suitor of Portia, notwithstanding his vals wero
opulent-one of them own-

Tho temper of Shyiock had not been improved any by his daughter running away with a negro minstrel named Lorenzo, particularly as thoy carried away a stocking full of ducats, jowcls of great value, and a lot of 7-30 bonds.
Ho caused tho arrest of Antonio, positively refusing to receive anything but Lho pound of flesh ho had forfeited. Tho caso was brought before a Venetian Justice of the Peace for adjudication. Bassanio had made a lucky hit at keno tho night before, and he offered to pay the Jew, 6,000 ducats instead of 3,000, if ho would rotiro from the moat business and let Antonio go. The Jew was obdurate— nothing but a pound of Antonio's flesh, cut thin, would satisfy him. He produced a butcher's knifo in court, and began to whet it, showing him that ho meant business.
The Justice had sent to Padua for a learned doctor to determine the case, which was ono of a considerable intorcrcst, especially to Antonio.
Tho learned doctor pleaded illness, ana\?ent another doctor, moro learned than himself and better doctored, whom ho recommended. Ho was admitted into o^urt, and on account of his very youtii/ul appearance, was viewed with derision by a lot of shyster lawyers from tho Police Court, who were there as spectators.
Tho case was a.plain one. The bond was produced in court, aud spoke for itself. Antonio confepsed to it, and it was evident that he wasliablo to leavo the court room lighter by a pound. Tho learned doctor toldSbylockhe must be merciful, but Shyiock told him he

time for anything except new milk. He said that Antonio must pay tho forfeit if the Jew refused mercy—no powerin Venico could alter the decree. Shyiock in the very ecstacy of joy, cried—"A Daniel come to judgement! yoa a Daniel on account of the striking likoneas which the young doctor bore to Dan Rice. Tho learned doctor told Antonio ho must bare his breast Shyiock flourished his knife fiendishly, and prepared to carve him. Ho even had a balance in tho pockot of his duster to weigh the flesh with, so complete was his arrangements for making tho affair a success. Ho acknowledged that ho had negIectd#rto havo a surgeon ready to stop tlio blood, because it wasn't "BO nominated in the bond."
Antonio had lost all his money, and having sense enough to know that life without ducats was unendurablo, he calmly prepared for funeral obsequies. Exposing his woolen undershirt, he bado tho Jew proccod with his carving. He was about to do so when tho learned Doctor remindod him that tho bond did not give him one jot of blood. If, in securing his pound of moat, he shed one drop of Christian claret, his lands and goods wero "confiscated to the State." Then, too, if ho cut less or more than a pound, his life, as well as his second-hand clothos was forfeit. This was a poser.
Shyiock, seeing that Antonio wasn't his "meat," offered to tako the princi pal. but was reminded by tho learned doctor that a? he had already refused it in open court, he must tako the for feiture or nothing. That was not all Shylock'a goods were divided on the spot, one half going toward the payment of tho national debt, and the other half going to Antonio, against whoso life he had conspired against but Antonio, with great generosity, turned his half over to the Jew's daugh ter, who had married tho negro minstrel, enabling him to retire from the profession with a handsomo farewell benefit, and set himself up in the patent mcdicino business.
Tho learned doctor turned out to be tho charming widow Portia, who had assumed the part to save her lover's friend. Her success greatly emboldened tho champions of "Woman's Right" in demanding that the learned professions should bo thrown opon to tho softer sex. Sho was united to Bassanio, and lived long and happily, being often called upon by her neighbors to decide difficult points of law. Antonio got appointed Whiskey Inspector on a small salary, and retired with a magnificent fortuno in a few weeks.
Of Shyiock only raro and faint glimpses havo been obtained until ho met with such a masterly production in Edwin Booth.

The following is a summary ''The association at tho outset received material aid from Friends in England and Wales, which went far to assist tho enierpriso. In 1805, after Sherman's desolating march, visits were mado to North Carolain for tho distribution of provisions, clothing and money, and during that year the Baltimore Friends passed on to the Western States four hundred Southern members, who had determined to emigrate. Efforts wero made to check this emigration, which succeeded, and the dosolated but valuable farmg of the communities in tho South aro now beginning to present an appcarancc of improved cultivation.
Tho advance in education has been largo. At the close of 1865, there wore twontv indifferent schools, wTith about six hundred pupils. Tho present statistics show a normal School with ono hundred and sixty-six pupils, thirty-nine schools, (ono in every neighborhood of friends) with two thousand one hundred and fortythree scholars, ono thousand two hundred and forty three of whom are Frionds, childron. First day, or Sunday schools havo also been established with success, several of which are for colored childron.

through that body secure some more offices, and huge rocsters, long disused, will do duty again in the columns of Democratic newspapers but the loss of Now York at this time will not be without its compensations if our friend improvo the lesson it has taught thom. •T^ow York, of all States, is tho easiest in which to chango large majorities from ono eido to another. In I860 it gave Mr. Lincoln a majority of 50,-. 135 in 1861, tho Union State ticket reciaved a majority of 107,000, but one year later that majority was all swept away, and the anti-war-Democ-racy carried the State by 10,000. In 1863, the Democrats were again beaten, the Union Republican candidates receiving a majority averaging 29, 000, but at the Presidential olection of 1864, the majority for Mr. Lincoln was reduced to 6,748. At tho election of 1865, before the Union party was stabbed by tho apostate Johnson, its candidates were elected by an average majority of 29,000, but in 1866, Governor Fenton was clected-by Joss,.tt.han 14,000.
Lot Congress act wisely at its approaching session, and give us a popular,, deserving candidate for Presi dent next year, and the Republicans of New York will easily reverse the Copperhoad victory of 1867.
How much General APATHY has had to do with our present defeat we shall know whon full returns are receioved, but judging from the falling off of the Republican, and tho small increase of the Copperhead vote in tho city,of Now York, we infer that ho had entirely too much to do with tho canvass.
Indianapolis Journal.
The Evils of Intemperance. Tho New Albany Ledger is responsible for tho following: "Seven years ago last June, a young man named James Easterly paid his addresses' to, and won the heart of a young lady named Maria Pierson, and married her. They both resided in a pleasant little city in the State of Ohio. Eas terly was a man of high social standing, was engaged in good business, and was apparently prosperous in his financial affairs. His family was highly esteemed, and he was considered a "good match" for any young lady in the town. Miss Pierson was also of an excellent family, highly educated and accomplished, possessed of rare personal cluirms, and the life and joy of tho circle in which sho moved. 'For a year after their marriage they lived most happily togcthor, Easterly treating his beautiful wife with tho utmost affection. But tho war fever running high in the city, ho finally sold out his business and entered the army, being appointed to the position of Adjutant of ono of the Ohio regiments. Whilo in tho army, lilco thousands of others, ho contracted habits of intemperance, and so completely did the fell demon of strong drink gain tho mastery over him, that before two years ho was apparently a hopeless drunkard. "Ho was persuaded by his friends to resign his position and come home thoy hoping ho might reform if his army associations and tomptations woro brokon off and removed. Ho did so, and went home, but there he con tinued in his courso of intemperance, and soon by gambling, the natural adjunct of intemperance, ran through all his property, and reducod himself and family to absolute poverty. "During all the time of his rapid descent, the young and loving, but now nearly heartbroken wife, clung to him, pleading with him to cast out the hellish demons that were polluting his soul and surely and swiftly leading him on to the most certain and inevitable ruin. But he heeded not her entreaties ho did worse, for ho beat her and when her heart was breaking under its load of woo, and her white face would be turned up imploringly into his, in mute appeals for his ret'oamation, he would slap her checks with his brutalized hands until their ashen hue was changed to deopest purple. "A man would have cursed tho brutalized husband for such conduct.— But not so this loving wife. To all appeals made to her to leavo his wretched home aud return to the pleasant ono of her parents, sho turned a deaf ear, and answered only, -l lovo him, and I cannot desert him now.— I will still save him through the help of God.' "But matters grew worse instead of better. The wife and her two cliil-

and seizing tho infant from his wife's arms, he hurled it upon the coals, and for a timo would not allow tho Wife to romOve it. "He was delirious—the mind had yielded to the demon pressure, and ho was a maddened, desperato fiend. Finally tho child was rescued from the fire, but it was too lato to save it. In agvny it lingered for two days, aind then God, in His mercy, took it up to heaven, and gave it a home among tho angels. '•The maniac father rushed out into .tho night, shrieking and screaming but soon afterwards he was seized bjr some of the officers of tho town, taken to his wretched home and there cdnfinod for days, and, through the skill of a physician and the constant nursing of his wife, he recovered. "At first the wifo told that whilo sitting over tho fire nursing the child, sho had fallen asleep, and the child had dropped from her arms into tho fire. And it was this accident, sho said, that had crazed her husband and caused him to fleo from the house. It was nearly a year before oven her parents knew to tho contrary, ajs
When Easterly had recovered, the wife told him how the child had come to its death. She avers, with the utmost solemnity, that this was the first knowledge he had of it. Then, she says, he resolved to live a sober life in the future. In a few months he left home, went to Southern Illinois, got employment, and is once more engaged in business for himself. On Tuesday night the wife arrived in this city on her way to join her husband again. She remained here with a relative, from whom we derive the above facts, until yesterday morning, when she left on the train of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railroad for the home of him who has filled her heart with such anguish, and darkened so many years of her life with sorrow that might otherwise have been bright and happy." ---<>---
Look at these figures. The national debt in 1860, under the Democratic administration, was $64,768,703. In 1861, under the same administration, it was $92, 989,709. In 1868, under a radical administration the national debt, as estimated will be $3,000.000,000, and the annual interest thereon $189,000,000."—<Copperhead Exchange>.
We have no "radical administration." The present President is a retainer of the Copperhead party, and fills the revenue offices with such men as Risley, the "Son of Liberty," and with thieves of high and low degree. They may steal untold millions, but they cannot increase the public debt to $3,000,000,000 in a single year. Inspite of a wasteful Copperhead administration which has cursed the coun-. try for the last two years, the national debt has been decreased $200,000,000, and but for the plundering wretches whom Mr. Johnson sent among the Indians as Government agents, and whoso enormous robberies involved us in an expensive war with the savages of the Plains, the reduction might have been doubly as large.
The debt of 1861, under a Democratic administration, we are told, was <only> $92,987,799. Why did it leave such a debt? Why any debt at all? Do Copperheads of to-day boast that under an administration of their selection a debt of nearly $93,000,000 was contracted in that time of profound peace? It was a shame that it should leave such a legacy to its successor, but more shameful still to organize a rebellion on being voted out of power by the people, and thereby compel the nation to create a greater debt to preserve itself from destruction.
It is the boast of the Copperheads that they piled up a debt when there was no war it is the boast of the Republican party that its representatives proceeded to reduce the debt immediately on tho suppression of tho Copperhead rebellion.—<Indianapolis Journal>. -----
Martin White was hung at Anderson, this Stato, on last Friday, for tho murder of Daniel Hoppas. One of the saddest commentaries upon human nature is, that some ten thousand persons assombled at AndersoU upon this occasion. They all—those Old men and young men, matrons and maida—knew that executions are private in this State, and by no possibility could they get d. sight of tho poor wretch in his last agonies- Yet sveh is the morbid curiosity—tho terrible fascination of such scenes—that thoy came Bimply for the privilege of being near the scene of tho tragedy—some
