There is no denying the fact, says the Cincinnati Times, that Boston has some good "notions." Among these, is the idea of general cleanliness, both munici pal and personal. She is fully impressed with the truth of the trite saying that "cleanliness is next to godliness and hence the city is always kept scrupulously clean. Nobody, without prosecution conviction, and penalty can maintain a nuisance the streets are carefully looked affer every medical man makes himself a sort of sanitary inspector, and considers it a professional duty to report to the au rhorities all manner of dirty delinqnences. No matter how loudly the unwash ed may howl, the law is rigorously en forced, and the health of the people is thereby promoted. She has also fprovid ed public baths, which are absolutely free to all who will behave themselves, every convenience being afforded for bathing in salt water kept from stagnating by the rise and fall of the tide. There are eleven of these baths for men and boys, and five for women, and the thousands who flock to them daily show that the healthful provision -is abundantly appreciated, There is a hint here which Terre Haute might well act upon. True we have not the salt water, but we have an abundance of good fresh wate4 which might easily be made available for the purpose, and at trifling cost. It is cheaper to wash the people than to bury them, besides being a good deal more satisfactory to the persons immediately interested and that free baths would conduce largely to the general health we presume no one will question.

We visited their store room last evening and can assure those Who may have occasion to be down town to-day that a visit to the Mammoth Eaaar will amply reward the lovera of the beau tiful. The room is elegantly trimmed and decorated with beautiful styles of new Dress Goods,. Silks, Shawls, and every conceivable fabric.

Making one of the finest displays of mechanical architecture that we have witnessed in the city, everything that the passion for dress craves may be seen at one glance, spread out in panorama display—all over the store—which is of immense magnitude. By all means pi them a visit to-day.

The specimen may be seen at this offiee.

Delegates to the State Sunday School Convention—from this city and vicinity r—returned, yesterday, highly delighted with the Convention and with the people of Evansville, and in the most satisfactory state of mind generally. We regret that a pressure of other matter crowds oat a report of the proceedings this morning. But the programme that we published, together with the frequent allusions to he doings of that body, have given our readers some idea of what has been accomplished, and we will inform them more fully at another time.

On Wednesday morning last, at te$ o'clock, the cry, so strange .then—hencefwward to become familiar—"jW atoari for St.Ltmuvia Vcmdalia" was shouted at the passenger depot, and something ove* one hundred ofourdtisans, together with quite a number of ladies, joined the excuNionists from Indianapolis and Idunvllle, making in all a party rf three hundred and fiftv, which with additions along the route wak swelled to four hundred. Jupiter Pluvius was pouring torenU of rain at the time—and many who had arranged to go were strongly tempted to dishonor Pres'tMcKeen's draft, and no doubt some actually did so on this ao-

cooot. THE DEUBOATIO* 1*0* THIS CITT was composed largely of the leading bo «iness and professional men. Each of .he three daily papers were represented. Among the ladies who honored the occasion with their presence, and contributed 0 much to the enjoyment of the ^ripi were Mrs. S. Deming, Miss Sophia Jiem ing, Mrs. D. W. Minshall, Mrs. R. A. Morris. Miss Nellie Donaldson, Mrs. Delano, Miss Lucy Delano, Mrs. Judge Pat tor-sou, Mrs Chas. B. Brohaw, Mrs. John Chambers, M"- W. B. Tuell, Mrs Wm

TXW TRAIN

in charge of Assistant Superintendent Major John E Simpson, consisted of eight magnificent passenger cars, two pal ace cars, and a baggage car, each of which was of itself a triumph of skill and beauty, The passenger coache". which were built expressly for this road are all new, and finer institutions on wheels were never coupled together on thiB continent: For external beauty and finish, and interior comfort and sumptu ousness of garnishment, they are unrivalled in \his country.: There beautiful "parlor, car" on the train belonging to the Jeffersonville road which was especially appropriated by the Louisville excursionists. It was an elegant car, and deservedly attracted marked attention. But tfie caps&eaf car ora train was the '^Silver Palace Sleeping Car," built at Wilmington, Delaware, for the Vandalia road, by the Pullman Pal ace Car Company, at a cost of about $17, 000. Capt. D.

ST. LOtJIS HOSPITALITY.

The people of St. Louis, with good nao allowed the tired excursionists to «qjoy a good night's rest after their long ride, but early on Thursday moaning, they were taken in charge for a grand round of pleasure. The first in order was a ride upon the river, for St. Louis people take infinite pride in showing the ma jestic stream which has contributed so H|i»li to the wealth of the city, The "Belle of Alton," one ef the fastest and nost comfortable steamers on the river had been chartered to con vey the party up and down the river, showing the entire city front. About two hundred of the most prominent citisena, with many.ladies,, joined the excursion ists, and the presence of so many fair women, the strains of a full cornet oand, the deep waters on the one side, the densely crowded levee on the other, with a cool,j yet pleasant atmosphere and the sun shining down upon as elear and beautiful a day as could have been wished, formed a s^ene as the boat moved out from the shore,and presented such brilliant surroundings for the start of an excursion party an is seldom enjoyed. The boat was run up stream past the new bridge which is to be completed in October of next year, to the shot tower and was then headed down stream, passing to the lower extremity of the city at the rate of fifteen miles an hour, the guests in meanwhile were bountifully supplied with refresh ments, including cream, berries, cake and

Charles R. Peddle, Superintendent, accompanied the train, riding the most of the time upon the engine, iu order that nothing should go wrong with the iron horse that was toj draw thli long heavy train for the first time over.a new road.

President W. B. McKeen accompanied the party from this city, and spared no effort to secure the comfort and pleasure of his invited gues|B. Long may he continue at the head of what will be known a« the model mad of the West.

START

was madeat 10 :SU, and at 6 o'clock in the evening the party was landed upon the east bank of the Father of Waters, not the slighfpt accident or incident occurring to mar^the pleasure of the excursion. Brief stope were made at the principal towns along the ronte^ .Md «t each a few invited taken oh.

THE TOWHS WORTHY or VOTE along the line are Marshall, Mar thvsville, Greenup, Effingham, Vandalia, Greenville, and Highland. Besides there area number of pcalrie villages, which with the impetus naturally to be derived from the opening of this new route will soon spring into import ance. At Effingham, sixty-five miles out, the company has built a round house with turn table for enginea, and here will be the stand for "changing horses." From this point on the road has been operated for some time and the cars run as smoothly as upon the old road to Indianapolis. Vandalia, thirty-one miles farther on, the crossing of the Western branch of the Illinois Central, is the largest town on the road, having a population of four thousand people. It is an old Spanish settlement, dating far back of the organization of the State, and was viewed with mnch curiosity having bees, «p-to the year 1837, the capital of thesame. Greenville, the next point of note, situated in the rich county of Bond, is said to be the prettiest town on the road, .and jErom the cars it really did loot lovely. Highland, the last town of any site is thirty miles east of St. Louis. It ia a very pretty little corporation, somewhat scattered, ibnt compoaed of goosi,^cpn|foilahle.dweUiag* and well built stores. It ia located on a high rolling prairie, with vineyard*, orchards and meadowa stretdiin| away as far as the eye can reach. The Highlanders, who are mostly Germans, seem to have an -appreciation of the beautiful in

the elegant little park lying MWWf thet depot boikBnga and the tewn proper.

PR'SENTATIOSS.

During the trip a couple 01 ties Ci ed recognition* were made in tli« way presentation*. On 1 tie nip over on the cars, the excursionist* contributed a purse, with which to procure souie token of re. gard.to two very wot-tliy gentlemen. The articles were purchased iu the morniug, and Judge Gordon, of Indianapolis, was delegated to make the presentation*. Mr. H.

Hibbard, the General Freight

Agent of the road, was first caliad and presented with a handsome diamond sol taire stud, worth $200. Then Judge Gordon called up Major John E. Simp ion, Assistant Sup't of theT. H. & I. E. B. and presented him with a valuable gold «atoh, one of the beat time-keepers made and valued at $450. Each of these worthy gentlemen responded briefly, and were raised upon the shoulders of their, friends amid cheers and applause.

this time the boat had reached Corondelet and the boat was head to the shore in order that the

KIKOSLAKIROS WORKS

might be inspected. These works conconsist of a double blast furnace, with capacity of sixty tons of iron, and is now running eighteen to fifty tons of iron aday day. W. J. Witherow, superintendent of the Bracil Iron Works, is in charge. The iron business of St. Louis ia of but recent date. Two years ago two gentlemen came to St. Louis and started furnace. They expended all their means without accomplishing anything, and at their urgent solicitation the Board of Trade gave them $20,000 to continue the experiment. The result Was a success The Kingsland Iron Works were started about one year ago. The name is soon to be changed to "JEtna," and the capital stock increased to five million dollars, and the manufacture of nails will be added. On the arrival of the party the magnificent furnaoes ware in full blast, and all seemed ready for tapping and drawing off the melted ore. The sand' arranged for making the pigs, and the crowds of people were waiting with great earnestness to see the molten mass flow down the grooves in the sand. The workmen plied their rods, drove drills with sledges and worked every way to open the furnace to let oat the metal but owing to too long a delay in waiting for the party it could not be done in time. The party then went back to the boat, and as it returned to the city improved the time in visiting the tables, and then went into the cabin, where the meeting wass called to order by Gov. Stanard, and the excursionists were formally received by the Mayor of St. Louis. Hon. R. W. Thompson was again called on to respond, and did it so handwmely that we give'our readers his remark* almost entire. As he #poke, it made Terre Hautians feel proud that they had Dick Thompson, and indeed, we advise our people never to go on a similar excursion without him. Col. Thompson, said:

At the conclusion he read the follow ing resolution prepared by D. W. Min shall, Esq., of this city:

Resolved, That lustre has been added to the well deserved fame of the city of St. Louis for her generous hospitality and kind attention to visitors for the thoughtful, kind and liberal treatment extended to the excursionists^ upon the opening of the Vandalia and Terre Haute railroad: and that the earnest thanks of its visitors are hereby given to the generous city for its many and kind attentions, and for the very liberal and handsome manner in which they hate been entertained and the assurance that the remembrance^ of their visit will be with them an abiding pleasure. (Applause.) |Mr. Thompson continued: It is a work of supererogation to offer this resolution (Applause), but I will put it to a vote, and if these ia a man here who will vole against it, he ought to be put off this boat. (Loud laughter and applause.)

After a speech by Hon. Wm. McPher son, of St. Louis, Hoi|. Wnfi£ Mpek, of this city, was called out, and made quite a humorous and telling speech. He said in substance:

LADIES AND GENTLESiEfc* Ther6 is but little doubt, from all we "nave* heard that St. Louis is considerable of a place, and the only serious objection to it is that it is too far from Terre Haute. [Laughter.] Much has been said about Western representatives not being at their post of duty but let me tell you that when we have the National Capital removed to Terre Haute, the citizens of St. Louis can come there and watch their

Mississippi river being the "father of waters, and all that, but look at our Wabash! Why, she is a clear, limpid iBtream, and turns positively pale in contrast. WeexpwttiTh^-tlieP^talM Terre Haute, riaughtt^apd Areadt have selected sites for tn& Presidential Mansion and the Postoffice Department.

You have shown us your iron furnaces, but they don't amount to much, for we can tap ours on a moment's notice, and like a good cow they will yield all the molten iron we call for, [cheers,] and I certainly expect within three months to ait on my steps and,r«a& die, napegaMth ease at all hours of the night, by the light of our furnaces.

COME AND SEE US,

and you will bud we ain't a bit stuck up if we are going to have the capital, and we'll help you lobby your bills through. [Prolonged laughter.] I think we are pretty smart over in Terre Haute, to secure the capital, when you recollect that we havn't got a Reavis to move it for us.' [Applanse.] $

Other speeches were made, and on arriving at the wharf a procession was formed 'to ttie" Melchant'ff Exchange where a welcome was extended by Lieutenant Governor Stannard in behalf of the State^and a response was made by Hon. H. C. Newcomb, of Indianapolis.

It is no trouble, however, to build good roads, and that speedily, with two such men as backers, as Chauncey Hose and J. Edgar Thompson. But to W. R. McKeen, Esq., is due the great credit. It has been his quiet, inobtrusive, orderly and systematic way of doing business that has brought the road to a successful completion, and made it what it is, the

Correctiok.—An article from the Indiana Commercial, published by us yesterday, reflected somewhat upon M. Fries of this city, in relation to the. disposition of goods recently owned by him. Mr. Fries, requests us to say that the article does great injustice to him, as the goods were honestly and fairly sold, no secrecy about it so far as he was concerned, and everything transacted satisfactorily to all parties.

Haute, June 10,1870.

Editor Expksss—I see from the daily Express of to-day, that Martin Hollinger says that wo are to elect but two County Commissioners. Let us gee if thig is correct. Their terms expire as fol« lows, to-wit:

First (North) 1870-1873. Second (Middle) 1869—1872. Third (South) 1871—1874. —{u We elected Trueblood in the Third district in 1868, hence ho goea out in 1871. If we do not elect three thie year, the Third district will be without a Commissioner from 1871 to 1872. I know I am correct. Thjs will be the case the State over, as there was no election in 1869. Every county will have to elect three. It cannot be otherwise this year. In 1872 we will have to elect two—one each from the First and Second districts, as you will see from the figures above given, and in 1874 one from the Second and Third districts. Vfoo.

Another cheap item, are those fine.Broche Shawl* which were sold yesterday. Irish Linens at 20 cents per yard, must be cheap.
