A CAUCUS of the Republican Senators has been called to meet to-day to consider the claims of candidates for officers of the Senate. The Indianapolis

"HAM" MCNEELY, an Evansville newspaper man, grown purse-proud and aristocratic, began to put on airs, and even carried that sort of thing so far as to invest a portion ot his superfluous wealth in a horse and buggy!

The first time "HAM" appeared abroad with his dashing turnout, his noble steed took fright and, running away, reduced the vehicle to kindling wood, which lay strewn along the path which "HAM'S feet had trodden so often, in going to and from his daily toil, ere vanity and pride put the fatal idea of a patrician equipage into his honest head.

thinks TIIOMAS would do well, before entering another campaign of duplicity, to study the biography of JONATHAN WILD, who, for a score of years, imposed himself on the London police as an honest man and zealous friend of justice, pretending to aid the officers in their work of ferreting out crime, while he was all the time in collusion with the most noted thieves in the city, betraying to them all the plans of the authorities for their capture. Having lost his character for political honesty in his party, HENDRICKS should now try to insure his reputation for. "smartness."

MR. FARNSWORTII has, in the House of Representatives, called attention to the extravagant folly of expending any more money for the repair of our oldfashioned stone forts, the improvements made in artillery and naval ship building having rendered these venerable monuments of a past age of military engineering something worse than useless, inasmuch as they are expensive as well as of no avail against the approach and passage of a fleet of iron clads.

of the first labors of the Forty-second

The Fall of tf a^ftebttrg. Seated on the rapid Elbe, the fair city of Magdeburg had known for many centuries a succession of almost unparalleled prosperity. It had early become one of the chief centres of manufactures and trade its riches had been won from the commerce of the South nnd the East its wealthy burghers lived in palaces, and their coffers were stored with gems and gold. Its magnificent cathedral, its fine churches, its crowded street?, its busy people, had long awakened the envy of the dull and haughty nobles its vigorous Protestanism aroused the bitterest hatred of the Catholic League. Magdeburg, which had-first risen in revolt against the imperial rule, was now to be made an example and a warning to Protestanism. Tilly enveloped it with a well-trained army Pappenheim swept its neighborhood with his invincible horsemen yet the proud citizens refused to surrender, and waited in patience for the approach of their deliverer, Gustavus. But the king wa3 detained by the cruel indecision of Brandenburg and Saxony, and without their permission could not approach the beleaguered city.

One night the weary citizens of Magdeburg believed that the end of their trial was near. The rain of shot and shell, which had for many weeks poured in up on them from the lines of the besiegers, suddenly ceased. An unusual silence ruled over the river, city, and the plain. The brave burghers thought the siege was raised. They left the walls, and went each to his home to sleep. The joy of peace descended upon many happy families and quiet dwellings, and parents and children once more reunited around the familiar hearth. They were awakened after a quiet night by "the fearful clamor of an assault. The bells clashed wildly from every steeple the tumult of despair filled the city, for the enemy were already clambering over the shattered walls, and Magdeburg had fallen.

Croat and Hungarian, Spaniards and Italians, the savage followers of Pappenheim and Tilly, crowded to the plunder of the wealthy city, and floating down the Elbe on fragile boats, or wadins through the shallow ditch, swarmed over the defences, and commenced a general massacre of the citizens. A clergyman was coming from church when he was told dial the enemy were in town. He rushed his home, and with his wife strove to hide fiom pursuit. His money was taken from him he was beaten on the head by a navage Croat, and at length escaped the roar of the flames and the shrieks of the multitude, bruised and trembling, to relate the fall ot Magdeburg. A schoolboy was in school when the news came The master dismissed his scholars, praying Heaven to save them. The boy ran to his home: it was empty. He fled into the street, and by some strange chance survived to tell in his old age how the soldiers of Tilly cut down men, woman, and children, and how the great city was set on fire and consumed to ashes. Ot all its busy population only a feeble train of prisoners remained. Of all its fine buildings the cathedral alone was saved. A dismal waste of ruin, filled with the dying and the dead, marked the spot where had flourished, a few days before, commerce, industry, and peace. In the morning Tilly, it is said, came to survey his conquest, and to exult over the ruin of Magdeburg. His tall, thin form was clad ia green satin a long feather hung over his wrinkled brow his ghastly countenance was tinged with a faint smile as he beheld the horrors of the scene, and reviewed the woes he had occasioned.—From "Wallenstein and Gustavus Adolphus," by EUGENE LAWRENCE, in

Harper's Magazine for March.

A Magnificent Description. We lay leaning over the bows, now looking up at the mist blown in neverending volumed sheets, now at the sail swelling in the wind before which it fled, and again down at the water through which our boat was plowing its evanescent furrow. We could see very little. Portions of the shore would now and then appear, dim, like reflections from a tarnished mirror, and then fade back into the depths of cloudy dissolution. Still it was growing lighter, and the man who was on the outlook became less anxious in his forward gaze, and less frequent in his calls to the helmsman. I was lying half over the gunwale, looking into the strange colored water, blue dimmed with undissolved white, When a cry from Charles made me start and look up. It was indeed a God-like vision. The mist yet rolled thick below, but away up, far away and far up, yet as if close at hand, the clouds were broken into a mighty window, through which looked in upon us a huge mountain peak, swathed in snow. One great level band of darker cloud crossed its breast, above which rose the peak, triumphant in calmness, and stood unutterably solemn and grand, in clouds a3 white as its own whiteness. It had been there all the time! I sank on my knees in the boat and gazed up. With a sudden sweep the clouds curtained the mighty window,

Congress should be the careful examination of the improved means of coast defense adopted by the foremost of the mil itary nationsof Europe, and to provide for the erection of those best adapted to mod ern military purposes. A commission of army engineers to examine the new forts of the Old World has just returned from Europe, and the report of their observations must be of great vahf* in the need ed changes. Whatever new plan is adopted is worthy the fostering care of the national legislators, but not another dol

BEECUEU'S CHURCH, in an impulse of generosity on Sunday contributed §2,000 or thereabouts for the starving poor in France. Two thousand for millions of poor and $25,000 for Beeclier. But "of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."—Cin.

Times.

For a single day's contribution to a single object, among the hundreds that appeal to BEECIIEK'S church for aid, the sum above named indicates unusual liberality. United States would contribute

pro rata,

If all the other churches in the I

the "millions of poor" would be abundantly provided for. As to BEECUER'S salary, it is less than fairly belongs to him, though greater than he desired to take. Without BEECIIER, that church corporation would soon find itself doing a losing business. BEECIIER is its only means of revenue. His eloquence sells the seats, at enormous rates, and crowds the house, at every service. He is the sole attraction, and to him justly belongs all the money raised from pew rents, except an amount sufficient to pay incidental expenses. But he does not take what belongs to him by many thousands, leaving it in hands that make a less beneficient use of it than he would.

A SiNGULARincidant occurred recently at Fish & Green's saw-mill, Trenton, N. J.

vanishes from the words as it vanished from the bewildered eyes. But from the mind it glorified it has never vanished. I have

been

more ever since that sight

To have beheld a truth is an apotheosis. What the truth was I could not tell but I had seen something which raised me above my former self and made me long to rise higher yet. It awoke worship, and a belief in the incomprehensible divine but admitted of being analyzed no more than, in that transient vision, my intellect could—ere dawning it vanished —analyze it into the deserts of rock, the gulf^of green ice and flowing water, the

A WARNING to husbands comes from EA«t Brooklyn. Awhile ngo a moderately wealthy man, of good standing and reputation, married a young wife. But the husband was extremely eccentric in some particulars, nnd no servants were allowed in his establishment. At length the wife, who had no taste for domestic occupations, became so disgusted with the

grubbing and working

I preparing meals and clearing them away, that she concluded she would explore the unknown, and have a change, at any rate. In her letter of farewell she stated that she had no fault to find with her husband, but she was determined to seek a spot where there were no dishes to wash. The pistol with which she' at tempted to shoot herself through the heart was evidently a new weapon in her hands, for the result was a slight wound in the left side, causing considerable physical pain, but by no means dangerous. The nearly bereaved husband has engaged a competent housekeeper, and sufficient help to keep the domestic machinery in motion. If the pistol had been aimed more accurately, the man would doubtless have soon married a second wife, and

she

would have reaped

the benefit of the first one's experiment— a suggestion which discontented wives should remember in any similar experiments.

Empresses and Queens occasionally relieve their mind from the cares of state and the weariness of court by indulging in some domestic employment. The late Empress of the French, the Empress of Russia, and the Queens of Bavaria and Greece beguile their hours with a sewingmachine of great elegance and simplicity, and which is now generally adopted by the English government for "industrial schools.

Wise Generosity.

One of the most absurd utterances of the Byronic cynicism was that "the good die first." The best recipe for a long life is to lead a blameless one. We have among us—and we hope we shall have for many years to come—a signal proof of the wholesomeness of active virtue and goodness. Peter Cooper—a name to be regarded with respect and affection by all who love their kind—has shown, on his eightieth birthday, the same judicious and thoughtful generosity which has actuated him throughout his irreproachable life. It is easy to squander wealth in the pursuits of pleasure or the gratifications of a morbid vanity but the men are too few who have the means to bestow, the heart to give, and the sound, practical good sense to apply their benefactions to the best and most fruitful use. Mr. Cooper's munificent gift of 5150,000 for a library of reference for workingmen is one of those happy inspirations of sympathetic common sense which rank their authors among the select company of just men who have been wisely generous.

We trust he may long be spared to see the immediate fruits of his Christian liberality but many generations will come and go before the good results of this birthday offering are at an end. The na« tion is fortunate that recognizes the supreme importance oi intelligence among its people and doubly happy if the patriotism and public spirit of its successful citizens are ready to supplement the public efforts at education by private generosity. The act of Mr- Cooper has a double value as a charity and an example. It should receive from other capitalists the genuine homage of imitation.— JV.

Prosperity In Ireland. IT is said that at the late Fenian banquet in Brooklyn, a gentleman of mnch culture and enlarged experince of European travel was proceeding to dilate upon the evidences of progress he had noted during a tour in the "Green Isle." This not being precisely the thesis which the managers ol the feast were met to descant on, the worthy speaker was somewhat brusquely interrupted and his well-meant eulogism was stigmatized as "a burlesque upon Ireland." We find in thelatest mail files certain statistics which confirm the figures of speech of the indiscreet orator. During the year 1870, according to Dr. HANCOCK, the Irish statistician, there had been an increase of twenty-seven per. cent, in the sums invested in post-office savings banks in his unhappy country. Between 1867 and 1870 the sums deposited in corporate savings banks had increased by two and a half millions of -dollars, while, during 1870, the deposits in Irish joint-stock bankR had increased eight per cent, leaving a total in hand at the close of the year of $121,332,890. Dr. HANCOCK concludes that during the last three or four years the Irish people have been prosperous and show greater signs of a thrifty disposition." "Freedom and saaaving gang thegither," says the temperance emendation on BURNS, and if Ireland progresses at this rate, the Fenians will find their home occupation gone.—N.Y.

The bill to secure every citizen in his political rights was before the Senate yesterday, whereupon "Mr. Blair made a speech of half an hour," to quote the Congressional report, "during which he said the election of Grant by the aid of the army, in the Southern States, was identical with the

by which Louis Napoleon ac

quired power." Such talk as this is simply preposterous. Everybody knows better, there is just the resemblance be tween the election of 1868 and the bloody fraud by which Louis Napoleon became Emperor of the French, that there is be tween a ballot and a bullet, and not one iota more, and every man of any intelli gence knows it. The Democrats weaken their cause by telling such palpable false hoods.—Chicaao

Wealth of France.

France, it is asserted, in proportion to its numbers, is the richest country on the continent of Europe. According to the Financial Chronical, the total revenues of the French Empire for a series of years before the war averged $330,000,000 per vear, while the aggregate revenues of all the German Governments for the same years were, upon the average but two thirds as much, or $217,000,000. About six per cent, of the surfape, seven percent, of the population and seven per cent, the land revenue of France are comprised iu the six departments of territory in volved in the terms of adjustmentjbetween Germany and France.

IN polite society, the moment conver sation rises above chit-chat, listlessness sets in. The average mind cannot bear the load of continuous thought. We ne more wish for the ancient pulpit style to return, than to see the pyramidal sound ing board restored, or to hear the toot of the pitch pipe from the gallery but we frankly confess that when individuals, without regard to theme, occasion, or the overflowing of the spirit, cry out for ten minute or fifteen-minute preachers as the

of modern worship, they seem

to us to be grievously wanting—we will not say in spiritual—but certainly in a most important quality of intellectual training.

A POOR soldier in New Hampshire, who, after three applications, succeeded in getting $100 bounty, sent at once $10 to an uncle who had loaned him that amount when he was in desperate need. A few days ago the uncle died, and by his will left the almost penniless soldier all his estate, valued at $200,000, giving as his reasons for so doing that he had many times lent money to his relative*, and he alone had repaid him.

TWENTY-FIVE candidates were examined in New Haven last week for the West Point cadetliip in tbe gift of the Hon. Stephen W Kellogg.

WALTHAM

WATCHES.

The extensive use of these watches for the last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers and Expressmen, the most exacting of watch-wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects, is to decide the question as to the real value of these time-keepers.

More than 500,000 of these watches .are now speaking for themselves in the pockets of the people—a proof and a guarantee of their superiority over all others.

The superior organization and great extent of the Company's Works.at Waltham, enables them to prodnce watches at a price whioh renders competition futile, and those who bay any other watch merely pay from 25 to 50 rer cent, more for their watches than is necessary.

Theso time-pieces combine every improvethat along experience has proved of real practical use. Having had the refusal of nearly every invention in watch-making originating in this country or in Europe, only those were finally adopted which severe testing by the most skilltul artisans in onr works, and long use on the part of the publio, demonstrated to be. essential to correct and enduring time-keeping.

Among the many improvements we would particularize: The invention and use of a centre-pinion ot peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the train by the breakage ot main-springs, is origii.al with the American Watch Company, who, having had the refusal df ail other contrivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion as being the best and faultless.

Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now universally admitted by Watchmakers to be the best, are used in all grades of Waltham Watches.

All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps, protecting the movement from dust, and lessening the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in other watches.

Our now patent stem-winder, or keyless watch is already a decided success, and a great improvement on any stem-winding watch in the Amerioan market, and by far the cheapest watch of its quality now offered to the public. To those living in portions of the United states where watchmakers do not abound, watches with the above mentioned improvements which tend to ensure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and convenience, must prove invaluable.

The trademarks of the various styles made by the Company are as tollows: AMERICAN WATCH CO.. Waltham. Mass.

A WORD TO OUR COMPETITORS

We undenstand that certain merchants in this city, and a very large number of country merchants, are complaining bitterly at what they term our monopoly of the Drv Goods trade. Gentlemen! we came to Terre Haute to break up Monopolies— not to form them! Our road to success is not a royal road. There is no secret about it. Any one who wishes to do so, may walk in it. You HAVE ONLY TO MARK DOWN YOUR OLD STOCK ABOUT ONE-HALF—GET RID OF IT—BUY NEW UOOD8 AS CHEAPLY AS WE DO, and in selling them, BE CONTENT WITH A LIVING PKOFIT, and the Sabbath-like stillness of your stores will soon be broken up by the same eager throng of customers that you so constantly meet at our establish ment. Far better do this, than seek to bolster up a business "growing smaller by de grees and beautifully less," by slander and abuse of us—for in this your customers are finding you out. You make a great mistake when you think ihey are so simpleminded as not to know for instance, that an Atlantic Mills Muslin is the same in your store that it is in ours. You are selling it at TEN cents a yard, aud we are selling it at SIX cents, but this neither makes yours nor ours any better or any worse. It is the same Muslin still. That is all, gentlemen now drive ahead exactly as you please. Your abuse only advertises us and injures yourselves, so we can stand it, if you can.
