Journal furnishes a beautiful illus
tration of "Democratic econom"," in desiring the continuance of the office of Agent of State, when there is no earthly thing for that officer to do, except to draw his salary. Were the office necessary, we would not object to its bestowal upon Mr. SiiANNeN. A local feeling make* us prefer to see Terre-Haute men carry off the prizes. But the State has not a single need of an Agent, and there is no possible excuse for maintaining such a sinecure. This the Journal knows, and will not deny.
of the fact that the emigration
of Chinese to this country has come almost to a standstill, the Philadelphia Inquirer suggests that it would be as well to preserve the speeches against the terrible consequences to free institutions of the tide of Mongolian invasion until the overrun ning of the United States by the Chinese really begins. Representative Mux
of Ohio, has just been enlightening Congress on the fearful effects of coolie importation. The honorable gentle' man from Ohio may have been right in all his warning and assumptions but he certainly forgot to state that there are very few Chinese now arriving in Californiu in fact, loss than at any time r'ince the Celestials first came to our shores. Perhaps ihey are gathering army on their native tea and poppy fields, and fitting out an armada of junks to invade our land in force. If this danger is threatening us, Mr.

Encounter With a Gorilla.
BY PAUL DU CIIAILLU.
"Again the gorilla made an advance upon us. Now he was not twelve yards on. 1 could see plainly his ferocious face. It was distorted with rage his huge teeth were ground against each other, so that we coald hear the sound the skin of the forehead was drawn forward and back rapidly, which made his hair move up and down, and gave a truly devilish expression to the hideous facc. Once more he gave out a roar, which seemed to shake the woods like thunder I could really feel the earth trembling under my feet. The gorilla, looking us in the eyes, and beating- his breast, advanced again. "'Don't fire too soon,'said Malaouen: 'if you do not kill him, he will kill you.' "This time he came within-eight yards of us before he slopped. I was breathing fast with excitement as I watched the huge beast. Malaouen said only 'Steady,' as the gorilla came up. When he stopped, Malaouen said 'Now 1' And before lie could utter the roar for which he was opening his mouth, three musket-balls were in his body. He fell dead almost without a struggle. "He was a monstrous beast indeed though not among the tallest. His height was five feet six inches. His arms had spread o! seven feet two inches. Hi broad brawny chest measured fifty inche: round. The big toe of his foot measured five inches and three quarters in circum ierence. His arms seemed like immense hunches of muscle only and his lens and claw-like feet weie so well fitted lor grab bing and holding, that I could see howeasy it wns for tho negroes lo believe that these animals, when they conceal them selves in trees and watch for prey, can seize and pull up with their feet any living thing, leopard, ox, or man, that passes beneath. The face of this gorilla was intensely black. The vast chest which proved his great power, was bare and covered with a parchment-like skin His body was covcred with grey hair While the animal approached us in its fierce way, walking on its hind legs and facing us as few animals dare face man, it really seemed to me to be a horrid likeness of man."
Tlie ''Heathen Chinee." A few years ago, a returned missionary fcom China lectured before the Christian Association in several parts of the United Statw. In the course of one of his discourses, he gave substantially the following as one of his experiences: lie had gone out to China carrying with him,along with his box of bibles and other theological implements, a number of specimens and models of our great mechanical inventions. Exciting, with these, the attention of the people, he was, in the course of time, invited to appear before the Mandarin of the district, wilh his creeds ajid his machines. The Mandarin, who was a man of learning and politeness, listened indulgently to his theological explanations, but seemed rather impatient to reach the mechanical exposition which was to follow to which, when it came, he gave great attention. In a few days—for the Chinese do nothing hastily, the missionary was recalled to the presence of the high official, to receive his reply to what he had communicated. He said: You Americans must be a great people. The conquests which you have won over nature are surprising. In material civilization and mechanical invention, there are none like you in the world Your steam engine is a wonder your sewing-machine a prodigy, and your telegraph a miracle.— But there is one thing in which you are deplorablr ignorant. Of religion you know nothing. Your ideas are those of children. We passed the point where you stand, centuries ago. Drop your theology, therefore, which we cannot accept, and teach us your mechanics.

The New Orleans Times of a late date reported the following case: Macarthy and wife agt. Spaulding & Bid well. The plaintiffs agreed in September, 1S66, to give entertainments, to be paid one hundred and fifty dollars per week, board and fare, one benefit in a town, defendants to take one-third of the receipts on benefit night, it being contemplated that they would have one benefit a month, and that hand-bill wood-cuts would be finally turned over to the plaintiffs. After a faithful performance of seven months on both sides, defendants undertook to hire out the plaintiffs to the keeper of a saloon at No. 107 St. Charles street, known as the Oxford. Plaintiffs refusing to perform, the defendants declined their services.
The contract provided a penalty $5,000 for breach of performance.

It appears that we are all strangely in the dark about the leading events of the war between Prussia and France. To begin with, the battle of Weissenbourg, early in the war, was won by the French, whereas, most of us thought the Prussians were victors. It is commonly supposed that McMahon failed to effect a junction with the forces under Bazaine but this is not 'he case The two Generals combined lieir armies, and are still fighting wilh great success. Again, it is generally believed that Bazaine was obliged to surrender at Melz but this is merely an«ther of our delusions. The General in question has won innuruera ble great battles, and to this hour Metz has not surrendered. To take stili another instance, there is an impression abroad that Paris is now invested by the German armies. We cannot account for the prevalence of this idea, but the truth is that the Germans are now distant at least ten days' march from Paris, and the whole of Trocbu's army is posted outside the city. This version of the history of the war is furnished by the World, of this city, which has the reputation of being exceedingly well informed on all foreign subjects. We suppose there is no use denying its statements. The Ti-ibune yesterday gave a complete summary of the World's special history of the war, and people who collect remarkable specimens of Journalistic enterprise had better get that summary, and learn to admire the "brilliancy" of the. World's correspondence and editors. The treatment of war news by the World is one of the things of which journalists ought to be proud, and which help to explain how it is that journalism is so much respected by the public.
Another article, published by the Tribune yesterday, will also be interesting to journalists who take a sincere pride in their calling, and wish to see it universally respected. To begin with, the fact must be well known that notoriously bribed journals always bring charges of corruption against all papers which try to do their duty honeatlv. Hence the World, caught with its hands full of Tweed's money, invented a story about an unpaid bill for the enormous sum of thirteen thousand dollars, as accounting for the opposition of the Times to the Bing— and hence the satelite of the Herald, and a few other unprincipled sheets, have been instructed by the Ring to repeat the story ever since. The Tribune now expresses its belief that not less than $50,000 was paid by Tammany,in one way or another to the Herald and the Telegram, during last year alone. No one supposes ihat the proprietor of the Herald is aware of this turpitude on the part of his servants—still less that he touched a dollar of the money. But the nature of the support given to the Tammany King by the Herald ought to be sufficient to convince everybody that dirty work has been going on somewhere. The Tribune goes on to assert, upon the authority of a pamphlet just published, that William M. Tweed secured the services of the Sun during the late canvass "by the payment
of so much cash down, and the promise
Tt,. a monthly stipends." What answer will be I he man ho ripped, and cussed, and swore. I .!_•
As he gathered a big brickbat. made to this charge remains to be seen That he would be du.ned essentially but we can not ignore the fact that simi rt},\^

rning the motives of these attacks,
lieve that the World calls Tweedaswind ler one day and an angel the next from sheer conviction, and that the Times would not abuse Tweed if somebody paid it thirteen thousand dollars. People who put any faith in the World's foreign dis patches must be fools enough for any thing. Thus, the task of serving the public with fidelity is obstructed by the elfort8 of the very journals which have taken money to betray the public.— If the exposure made by the Tribune yes terday could accomplish a wholesome change in public sentiment in regard lo

implicated, instead of refuting the charge of taking a bribe for suppressing a certain article, as everybody must have hoped the Sun would do, it simply singled out and abused a gentleman connected with the Tribune. This was a clear case of allowing judgment to go against it by de fault
The systematic corruption of the press by the Tammany and Erie cliques will begin to excite proper attention whenev er the public once more shows any dis position to regard corruption as a thing wrong in itself, and fatal to the best in terescs of society. Any journalist whp now faithfully performs his duty is made a marked man by all the bribed hacks in the country, and any paper which refuses to take a bribe is sure to be denounced as ''corrupt" by the rascals who accept mon ey from any hand which offers it. For example, the accusations made by the Times against Tweed and his gang have never been disproved, but the hirelings employed by Tweed have simply been in structed to trump up some insane charge

gang, and if those exposures further tend to purify the atmosphere of journalism generally, our contemporary would have accomplished a signal service.

tjie question propounded and an
one 0f
Russell's letters to the London
Times, will find in it the information desired: "How is it the French do not break out?" I am asked the question very often. The best answer to it is conveyed in another question—"What good would it do them if they did?" For if they could not raise the siege of Paris and rout the Prussian army their mere frac ture of the iron circle would not help them much. If there were an army to join outside, the matter would wear a different aspect. To ignorant persons, as most of us are who are not favored with hebdomadal revelations of the truth on all earthly affairs, it would seem very easy to break out, and there is an old military maxim paraded which leads men astray very much in reference to the proportion between the besieged and besiegers. To very many persons who have not studied the subject, even if they be professional soldiers, it might appear strange too that the French had not raised the siege by a great sortie. And if they saw the line* and travelled round Paris they would, perhaps, be still more impressed by the want of energy and enterprise of the besieged. But a thorough soldier would very soon appreciate the great difficulties of a sorlif against an army in entrenched positions, which can at any one point bring 70,000 to SO,000 men to bear in a short time on the deploying columns. It is almost alarming to a civilian to travel along ln.ude the Prussian lines. He may of I go for miles and scarcely meet or see five

FOR THE NEXT SIXTY DAYS
We shall Exhibit the most Extraordinary
CONCENTRATION OF BARGAINS!
Ever heard of in Ter re Haute.
The past history of our Store, although marked almost weeklv by some great surprise to our customers, nevertheless does not furnish auy parallel to the extraordinary inducements with which we inaugurate the new year.
OUR NEW YEAR'S GREETING
As we glance back over the work accomplished in seven short months, we are sure our customers will not wonder at our feeling a little elated at our unuBual, but not to us, unexpected success. Our first visit to Terre Hrute convinced us that here, of all the citics in this State, was most needed a reform in the vicious system upon which the Dry (Joods business was being conducted. The motto of this s8tem was, "Secure the very largest profit possible on every dollar's worth of goods sold." We believed a change was needed and that the people would generously support any firm who, disregarding the machinations of the old high-priced stores, would dare to write over their doors this opposite motto, '"Sell every dollar's worth of goods at the smallest possible profit consistent with safe business principles." In pursuance of this idea we marked out our course and have pursued it without fear or favor. We expected opposition, for we had been informed of the plans laid for our discomfiture. We were not even sure that this opposition might not take the form of personal violence, so when the Ijigh-priced store* took this way to bolster up their failing fortunes, we were hartHy disappointed.
OUR SUCCESS HAS BEEN "UNPARALLELED!
At one bound our store "look its position at the head of the Dry Goods Trade of Terre Haute. We had not mistaken popular sentiment. Congratulatory and en cotiraging messages and words came to us from every quarter, one and all biddingy ns go forward and never for a moment to doubt the earnest sympathy and hearty good will of the great masses of the people.
A newjtnd still greater reduction in our prices is
THE NEW YEAR'S GREETING!
