We may expect from this source some new and curious additions to our fashionable^ female vocabulary.

IT XS generally conceded that t^e Fortysecond Congress will unquestionably convene on the 4tli of March. There are speculation?, of course, as to the organization of the new House. It seems to be conceded, however, that BLAINE will be re-elected Speaker and MCPHERSON Clerk. Both of these officers are justly popular by reason of their courtesy and efficiency. So certain is their re-jelectioi! tliat no candidates have had the temerity to enter the lists in competition as yet. There area number of gentlemen in the field anxious to serve the State as Ser-geant-at-anns, Doorkeeper and Postmaster.

THEKE is now a most encouraging prospect of a speedy organization of the Terre Haute and Bloomfield Railroad Company and the prosecution of the work of construction with all needful dispatch. We afe as'sured that conflicting views,and rival interests in regard to location, are in a fair way to be harmonized, and that every obstacle to the success of this important enterpj-jg£ is likelj to be surmounted. Let'us hope that a spirit of mutual concession will pervade the meeting soon to be held in this city, and that all will join heartily in the work of adding another and greatly-neeedd line of TStl wny to the magnificentchannels of com merce and social intercourse converging here. «•.«•

GOVERNOR HOFFMAN, in his recent special message, is cruelly personal to his Tammany friends. He remarks that "money, not merit, secures nominations to office and controls results," and, what i3 Worse, lie .darkly, hints at the fate that $nwiits the Tammany ring by such language as this: "What is absolutely necessary is, that some men who seek their own advancement by corrupting their fellows should be convicted and punished as criminals." In the Assembly, TOJI FIELDS moved the printing of five hundred copies of the message which was seconded by Mr. HUSTED, who said that he was happy to see that a Democratic Governor had become a convert to Republican views on this subject. Last winter he (HUSTED) introduced a bill to secure precisely the same object aimed at in this massage, but the Judiciary Committee, to which it "was referred, and of which Mr. FIELDS was chairman, declined to report it or to take any action on the subject.

A Freak of Nature.

We were shown, Tuesday, at the office of Dr. G. B. Henry, of this city, a nondescript animal which is without a parallel in our observations of natural history. The body is six or eight inches in length, and was evidently that of a pig before birth. The head is astrange combination in some respects almost startling the beholder with its indications of a human face. Uhe lower jaw is like that of a child, and the outline of the head is more human than brute. The upper jaw is that of a hog, while the eyes and nose are unlike anything we eversaw before. The eyeo are located side by side, closely together, and

below the nostrils.

The London

gal for the homoeopaths, and against Dr. VAN AERNAM the Commissioner of Pensions. It says: "Dr. Van, Aernam, allapatliist, and Commissioner of Pensions, it will be remembered, administered a very arbitrary does of professional prejudice to the homoeopathic physicians throughout the country, by pronouncing them ineligible as examining surgeons of the Pension Department. The prescription haa reacted upon the Doctor himself, and unless it should restore him to .soundness of mind, may lead to the relinquishment of his brief authority. The homceopathists have petitioned the President to remove the Commissioner from an office which he administers unjustly and for purposes of private malevolence."

THE SENTINEL of yesterday has this interesting item: In the case of Captain John Kirk vs. Conrad Baker, the Supreme Court rendered a decision affirming the judgment of the court below, (Judge Tarkington) ordering a commission to issue to Captain Kirk as a legally elected Director of the Southern Prison. This places this institution under Democratic control.

Stick to Tour Business.'

Young business men have every reoion to keep a sharp eye to windward, if they find themselves beset by an overwhelming desire to indulge in speculations outside of their legitimate business. The cause of several failures in this city, during the past few months, can be traced, directly or indirectly, to speculation. In some,cases honored firms, whose name and fortune have been built up by severe toil and strict attention to their proper line of business, have been dragged down in the ruin which hai followed persons who had had the use of their names to raise money for speculation, and lost. Speculation presents the same risks and temptations that gambling does. The losing specula tor is like the immoderate brandy-drink er, and his appetite is not satisfied until he faces ruin. The money a speculator draws from confiding friends to fill up the vacuum of his losses, does the same amount of good as the brandy the man of morbid appetite pours into his stomach to quench his unnatural thirst. The haste to get rich is not so manifest among the young business men of Boston- as it is among those of New York and yet there is a sufficient desire for speculation here, The Young America style of getting rich is not so safe, so sure, or respectable as that of genertions gone. If a young man has a good business, he should be satisfied with and slick to it, keeping his money in the legitimate channels, where it needed. Thus he will seldom be embarrassed himself, and will not embarrass and perhaps ruin others by borrowing from them.—Boston

THE number 27 seems to be a fortunate one for the German armies. On the 27th of September Strasbourg capitulated. On the 27th of October Metz surrendered On the 27th of November the Prussians achieved important victories over the Army of the Loire and the Garibaldian forces in the Department of the Vosges. On the 27th of December commenced the bombardment of Mont Avron, the first of the Parisian forts assailed, and which soon yielded to the enemy. And now comes the intelligence that on the 27th of January the terms of the capitulation of the capitulation of Paris were agreed upon. If, now, after the three weeks" armistice which has been arranged, the treaty of peace should be concluded on the 27th of February, as is not improbable, the chain would be complete. Verily, if this were a superstitious age, the Germans might be expected to commence all their important enterprises on the 27th of the month. The coincidence is to say the least, remarkable and noteworthv.—Cin.

A REMARKABLY innocent and easily crammed correspondent of the New York

World

sends that paper the following ridiculous story with reference to certain souvenirs received by Miss Vinnie Ream while in Italy preparing her statue of the late President Lincoln: "Among them are three cameos handsomely set, gifts from Cardinal Antonelli. Miss Ream is a Mason, and is the onlv woman in America who has taken eight degrees. Before going to Europe she was given a certificate of her advancement and a very handsome Masonic badge. Catholic countries are not friend ly to Masonry, and Cardinal Antonelli, noticing the medal hanging from a ribbon thrown around Miss Ream's neck, asked what it was. She told him and said she believed he disapproved the order. In your country, he replied, he replied, the society does good deeds, but in ours not."

STOBIES OF TRIAL BY BATTLE.

Curious Old Customs.

An historical paper, spiced with anecdote and incident, appears in an English magazine nnder the title of "Trial by Battle." We glean from the writer's pages some interesting passages. Feudal trials on the Continent were things of violence from beginning to end. The very nails of justice there had a fighting look. "In those of all the seigneurs, ecclesiastic as well as laic," says a writer of the eighteenth century (St. Foix), "the figures of two champions, completely armed and ready to encounter, were seen in the place where the crucifix (with us the royal arms) now stands." Ragneau reports that there were two such figures in the justice hall of th® chapter of St. Meri. And Sauval says: "I am much deceived if I have not myself seen them in two chambers of requests of the Palaise before they were painted, gilded and ornamented as they are at present: and I think that behind the crucifix of one of these chambers there still remains a considerable portion, if not the whole, of the figure of one of these champions." The feudal court was composed of the seigneur .—who might have been a Bishop or an

Abbott as well as a noble—or his bailiff, and of not less than four of his feudatories or peers.

Contempt of court was not dealt with then as now. The President of the court could compel anybody who-disregarded his authority to fight him. At Bourges, for instance, we learn from the charter which abolished this peculiar method of maintaining judicial dignity in that quarter (1145), that, if the Provo3t had summoned any person who refused to appear, the next proceeding of the functionary was to address the obstinate individual in the following form: "I sent for thee and thoa didst npt think it worth thy while to come. I demand, therefore, the satisfaction of the duel for this contempt." And, doubtless, the provost must have found it a great satisfaction, when some peculiarly ugly customer gave him some thwacking in addition to despising his behests. The duel was especially designed for those capital cases in vthich there was just cause for suspicion against the party accused, but not suffi cient evidence to procure his conviction But in France, at least, which meant not only France proper, but also French speaking Switzerland, Savoy, the Sicilies, and Flanders, in short, fully a third of mediaeval Christendom—it was hardly possible to conduct any action at law without having recourse to it.

A CURIOUS COMBAT IN ENGLAND. A curious judicial combat was fought in London, July 14, 1380. The wife of the appellant, Sir John Anneslie, was near relative of the renowned Chandos and had inherited from him large domains won and held by the sword in France. The old warrior had intrusted Katrington one of his squires, with the government of an important castle, and this squire had been continued in his command by Anneslie and his dame. The castle in question was one of the many that fell before the sweeping march, and, as French historians delight to recount the prowess of Duguesclin. This duel however, throws a light on Duguesclin conquests, in which other means a lit tie les3 glorious than military skill and valor are seen to play an important part,

A BUTCHERY IN IRELAND. A butcherly instance of the duel took place in Dublin Semptember, 1583, 'league McGilpatrick O'connor, a semi wild chief from Connaught, accused Con nor McCormack O'connor, another wild chief from the same province, before the Lords, Justices, and the Council, of killing and murdering his men, they being then under protection. This the appe lant declared had been done by the simple plan of firing their lodgings midnight, and assailing them as they issued from the flames. The defendant admitted the deed, justified on the that the slain men were rebels, and offered to prove his assertion by battle. thus very completely turned the tables on his foe. Rebellion was a greater crime in the eyes of the Lords Justices than murder, and the original complaint was at once transformed into the defendant One of the Lords Justice was Archbishop Loftus, but this worthy prelate, far from advocating peace by word and example, not only gave his flat

presided there in person, along with his coadjutor, Sir Henry Wallop. The duel was decided in the castle yard, on foot, the weapons sword, dagger and targe, and the usual defensive armor, Having first been stripped to their shirts, and carefully searched for amulates by Mr. Secretary Benton, the champions en countered. The homicide proved the better man-at-arms, and Wounded the other O'Connor twice in the leg, and once in the eye. Finding the day go against him, the latter attempted to close, and to his misfortune succeeded. His antagonist proved quite as superior in strength as in skill, got his head into chancery, and pummelled with the hilt of his sword un til he had knocked off his helmet. This done, the victor hammered away at the bare head, until as an Hibernian author strangely phrases it, he had "knocked the seven senses out of it." Having achieved this extraordinary feat, Connor McCor mack O'Connor hacked off the victim's head with the viotim's own sword, and presented the dainty morsel to the Lords Justices, who ordered it forthwith to be stuck on a pole for general contemplation and edification.

PLEBEIANS AND NOBLES.

The duel was nearly as common among plebeians in the good old time as it was among gentlemen. Both classes mostly battled with men of their own order, but not exclusively. A plebeian, /or fitting provocation, might challange a gentle man, and a gentleman a plebeian. But the regulations of the duel were not favorable to such encounters. When the plebeian challanged the gentleman, the atter might appear monnted and armed, while his antagonist had to fight on foot in a a woolen shirt, with a wodden shield and club. And when the gentleman challenged the peasant he was compelled, probably as a punishment for degrading nobility by such a combat, to forego the equipments of his rank, and adapt the unaccustomed fighting gear of the peasant. Two such duels—one of each sort—are recorded in the annals of Saintonge. In the first, the knight, disdaining to use sword or lance, charged the villain and trampled him to death under his horse's heels in the second, the villain had the advantage and cudgeled his noble opponent to death. MEDIJEYAL GERMANY—WOMAN V3. MAN.

Breaches of promise and similar disputes were decided by duel in mediaeval Germany, a faithless swain or errant husband having to meet his indignant victim hand to hand in the lists. In the approved form of this duel the dame was reduced to her chemise. One of its sleeves was lengthened for the occasion by about eighteen inches and tied up in the end of this long sleeve was a neat pavingstone. The man was also stripped to his last garment, had his left arm .tied close to his side, was furnished with a short baton, half an ell in length, and was clapped in a tub planted waist-deep in the ground. The lady maneuvered round the tub and struck at her antagonist with her sleeve, while he defended himself as best he could with his baton. He had, however, but a poor chance of triumph in such contest against a thoroughbred termagant. She might, indeed, miscalculate her stroke and twine her sleeve round the baton. But even then she had no means the worst of the contest, and was much more likely to disarm him than he was to pull her into the receptacle. Still the latter catastrophe must have occurred times, or the manuscripts that deal ith this species of duel, chiefly by lively drawings, would not have represented the emale champion in one of these encounters, with her heels high in the air, and her head out of sight in the tub.
