Washington January 26.

There is one vacancy in the retired list of the army. It may be filled by the retirement of Surgeon general Barnes during the present administration. If such a relirment is made by President Hayes. Chief Medical Purveyor and Assistant Surgeon-general Baxter will be promoted to fill the vacancy.

The committees appointed to make "preparations for the Inaugural Ceremonies have, as yet made no move in the matter. The Chairman, Thompson, of this city, has not the confidence of the people, and consequently can not secure the money. Of the $40,000 estimated as the amount needed to cover expeuses, only' $8,000 have been subscribed.

The hearing before the House committee on Foreign Affoirs on Crapo's joint resolution to re-afHrm the Monroe doctrine in connection with the Panama shiocanal, came ton conclusion to-day. ExSecretary Thompson, American representative of tbe Panama Canal Company, closed the argument on the part of that company, and the subject now goes to a sub committee, of which Hill, of Ohio, is chairman.

The Wa» Department officials are greatly dissatisfied with the failure of the attempt to secure Sitting Bull's surrender, and because such an attempt was made. The policy of the State Department and of tho War Department was that the Canadian government in giving a refuge to Sitting Bull been me responsible for him if he came upon American soil and depredated. the Canadian government was to have been held responsible for all damages.

The House committee on pnilitary affairs agreed, to-day. to report favorably upon the letter of the Secretary of War recommending the construction of a carriage way at Jeffersonvillc, Ind., from the city to the government depot, and instructed Representative Browne to ask for an appropriation to be included in the sundry civil appropriation bill for this purpose, or to move it as an amendment to the bill when it reaches the House for consideration.

At a meeting of thesupervisin? inspectors of steatn vessels, tt-day. the president, General Dumont, submitted au ex tract fro.m his annual report referring to the Joss of the steamer Seawanhaka, which burned June 28. 1880, and in which reference is made t® rule 57 of the steam boat rules and regulations. General Dumont recommended that the board adopt an amendment to this rule in order that it might be applied to all nlassess of passenger steamers except ferry-boats, with the proviso that river steamers may exer cis« their crews at quarters while tying at their wharves.

CttAKt.KSTOJi, January 27.—The committee have IHted on Wednesday, May 11, for the unveiling of Cowper's monument at Spartansburg. The statue£of General Daniel Morgan, provided by the act of Cotfgrcss, will surmount the column. Governor Hagood has invited the President and Cabinet and the governors of the States to be present. ?&£*•

Iudianapoiis Journal:

The first meeting of the State-house in vestigating committee was held last even ing at the Grand Hotel—present, Messrs. Kenner, Wilson of Montgomery, Carter and Neff.

Tbe chairman, Mr. Kenner. called the attention of the committee to the object for which it was appointed, and said it was important to interpret the law so that both the contractors and commissioners might know by the authority of the Legislature how fiir the charges had been warranted by the act constituting the board. He read the clause of the act referriug to the contractors, and after the matter had been discussed, Mr. W. W. Curry as clerk of the committee, joining in the conversation, the whole subject was deferred for determination nt a future meeting. An opinion from Attorney-general Baldwin was then read in regard to the relaying of the corner-stone, the correspondence upon this subject between Mr. Kenner and Judge Baldwin being as follows: To the Attorney-General.

Sir—The House of Representatives oi the State of Indiana passed a resolution requiring the committee on investigation into ihe new State-house to inquire into the following question:

If the State-house commissioners ihould wish to take up the corner stone recently laid, and relay tbe same, will the said action in any way release the su' 3ties on the bond of tbe cotractors, or will said action in any way affect the contract of the contractors?

The committee on State-house respectfully refer the aboye question to you for an answer at your earliest convenience.

Very respectfully submitted,

Int!anapous, January 19, 1881. Hon. J. B. Kenner, Chairman State-honso ComraUtee:

Dear Sir The State house contract contains the following section, "And the board of State-house commissioners may direct their architect to .irder any alterations ia the form of the structure or kind of materials in the finishing thereof without violating the contract, and the difference in expense of such change shall be mutually agreed upon, before the changes is made, between ihe architect and the contractors, add the amount of additional or diminished cost over and above the contract price of the original work shall be added to or deducted from the cost of the work." See printed pamphlets of January 1, 1879, entitled report No. 6, page 98. The bond to secure this con tract is frund upon page 104, together with the sureties' acknowledgment.

If the State-house commissioners should direct the relaying of the corner-tsone with some change its form or finish, at an agreed price, I think it could be done under the above clauses without discharging the sureties.

D. P. BALDwtk Attorney-general. In the conversation which followed the reading of this opinion, Mr. Wilson suggested that tbe whole difficuty attendant upon the removal of the corner stone might be avoided by the laying of another atone, as a soldiers' memorial, on top of that laid last year by Governor Hendricks and he believed this would be in all respects the better plan to adopt. No action was taken, the only object of the present meeting being to have an informal talk upon the subject-matter of the in quiry, and, eventually, the committee decided to hold the next meeting on Thurs day afternoon at 3 o'clock, in the office of the State-house commissioners.

The Extraordinary Cure Wrought by an Italian Peasantess. The Brooklyn Union-Argus of a lato date says: There is a curious sequel to $he legal action of Mrs. Amelia W. Stover, of Boston, against Drs. Catiin 4nd Eimendorf, of this city, to recover 8100,000 for alleged malpractice. The suit against Dr. Eimendorf was subsequently discontinued. That against Dr. Catiin is yet pending. Mrs. Stover's injuries were caused May 27, 1878, by her falling from a piano stool, at the residence of her sister, Mrs. Thorburn, at 91 South Portland Avenue, this city, while she was trying to light the hall gas. She became a cripple, and expert physicians and surgeons gave her little hope of recovery. She came to court on crutches, moved slowly and was evidently in pain. She is now greatly improved, usiug only two canes and. sometimes but one. In explanation of this she made tho following statement to a reporter:

I have been the s.ubject of one of the most wonderful cures, and I am willing to tell the story, because it will expose the lack of accurate scientific learning among physicians. After two years ot suffering, in which I was treated for fracture ana for sprains, and had to encounter all the opinions about the impossibility of a bony union in an interacapular fracture, and about interstitial absorption of the injured part, I at last found out that in all of the mass of iearning poured over my case the true cause of my trouble was not apparently thought of, and that, after all, 1 was suffering from a dislocated thigh bone, which needed to be set. Had any of the physicians I consulted discovered this and reset the displaced bone at first, I probably would have been well to-dav. About a week after the trial I asked my sister, Mrs. Thorburn, to accowpany me to see Signora Reglna Dal Cin, the Italian peasant, who came to this country last tall with the family of General Stewart L. Woodford, who, having heard" of her wonaerflU cures, made a pilgrimage to her home in Northern Italy to secure her for their crippled daughter. We hadn't much faith in Mme. Dal Cin, aad had nc thought that she could effect a cure tor me but we wished to see if her opinioa" agreed with that of nearly all educated' physicians, that the injury was an in* curable fracture. She at once pronounced the trouble a dislocation, and said that she could cure me. When she said that I almost feinted with joy. She explained clearly, through an interpreter, because she cannot speak English, ail the causes of my agony, and prescribed a poultice of marsh-mallow and bran to relax the muscles preparatory to sotting the lrmb. I wtuit to bed, followed Ivu- directions and in a few dayi she came and, placing otte hand upon the head of the limb which was out of place, guided it, while she gently turned it below the knee, and, by moving it to and fro, up and down, with the greatest gentleness, she at length ottered a "Brava!" clapped her hands and I knew that the limb was set, for it again had a natural feeling. Th5 whole operation was performed without the slightest pain. I had a wafted the time with much apprehension and with so much fear that sne would not be able to do what she said, that I was physically exhausted and was unable to leave my bed for some time to try the limb. She had been applying the whites of two eggs beaten stiff and laid upon a bunch of tow every day for forty days and then she began to anoint the hip with lard taken from a hog's kidney »nd a preparation of white wine and a^-alded bran. These remedies worked like magic in restoring the muscles to'their place and in drawing the part into a natural shape. I, however, complained of a pain at the knee. The Madame, who secerns to see with the tips of her fingers, felt around the knee, used a dexterious pressure at one point and the pain ceased. She said that two muscles had lapped over the knee and needed only .to be pushed apart. In time I threw aside my crutches and now I walk with canes and I expect to yet leave these at home. A few days ago I walked sfeven blocks, which was good for an incurable cripple."

If one note in the organ be Otit of key or harsh of tone, it mars the whole tone. All the other reeds maybe in harmony but the one defective reed destroys the sweetness of all the rest In every tune this reed makes discord somewhere. It# noise jani out in every other note. Aiid so one sin destroys tlie harmony of a whole life. A girl or bomay be obedient, filial, industrious, aa_ honest but ill temper is a jarring re**, that touches every grace with daill and discord. Let every affection and every thought, and every word and every aclionjoe right: then there is mane in the lift.

Our Army of Idlers.

"How can I tell about a thing I dunn nothing about?" exclaimed a badgered witness in one of our courts. ''How can I do anything I know nothing about?" exclaim—in deeds, if not in actual words —the vast army of idlers to be found in all lar^e cities. It is useless to talk about finding work for them they don't know how to do anything. They belong to that class who have never learned to do anything weH. Many have never had an opportunity some had no inclination and othera had not perseverance to carry them through. Whatever may have been the cause, the result is the same they have no qualification to command success. Twist it about as you may, you will find this one fact constantly staring you in the face. There they are, always before you, a vast army of incompetents trying to excuse themselves by reviling against fate, and complaining of bad luck. If perchance, the^y finally come to a realizing sense of their helplessness and feel some little ambition to succeed at something, they are usually too late. Habit has Decome too strong for them, or circumstances are no longer favorable to their success. They have not sown good seed in their vouth what reason have they to expect to reap a rich harvest in their old age? This is the fatal mistake. We have but one youth if that be wasted, how can we hope wealth or influence in later life? It is to be feared that little can be done to better the condition of the horde of helpless idlers who are now infesting the cities but much can be done to prevent our youth from becoming recruits to this vast army. They at least are not beyond help. Let us do what we can to save them and make them useful and industrious members of society. Let us educate them and teach them self respect. Once give them an insight into their own capabilities and show them the golden reward awaiting their patient endeavors then they will never become afflicted with that great curse of humanity, idleness. Ignorance and idleness go hand in hand together. Overcome the one and you rout M»a other. _______________

I have purchased the entire stock of boota and shoes belonging to the store of G. A. Rogers & Co., which lias been heretofore on sale at No. 829 Main street, and been disposed of at manufacturer's sale. It is my purpose to use the store-room where tiiev now are for the display of stoves ancf queenswarcf, and it will therefore be necessary for me to close out the stock of boots and shoes. This I will do at once, as I want and must have the room. Having purchased them at a great bargain, and as a means of petting possession of the store-room which I wanted, and could get in no other way, I intend to sell these boots and shoes at prices never heard of before in Terre Haute. The stock is a large one, and must and will be closed out in short order. There is thus offered to the people of Terre Haute and Vigo county an opportunity such as they never had before tor getting boots and shoes. AH I ask of them is to call, examine goods and inquire the prices. Tbey cannot help buving if they want goods cheaper than they can be bought anywhere else in the State. People want ing to buy must not delay in catling, for it will not be possible, at the prices the goods will be sold for tbe siock to last very long.
