TIIK Westminster Review pronounce* the late ALICE CAKY the greatest female poet of America, past or present.

Tii£ New York Sun lias discovered that The Tribune is in great danger of going over to Chief Justice CHASE for the next Presidency.

No CLAPS of our citizens arc K'O deeply interested in the collegialc sohool project as the poor. It proposes to place within their reach educational facilities of the highest order, now open only to the •wealthy.

AN exchange notices, as an eloquently significant contrast, the fact that while we are voting land grants io open a continent to the people, England is voting money grants to fasten on herself an idle royal family which rides her down like Sinhad's Old Man of the Sea.

BY the removal of the duty on all wools and wolens the Government would lose $24,000,000 of revenue, now paid by the wealthy importers, and which would have lo he otherwise lai.-ed. "The result,"says the Philadelphia Press,'' would be that I he profits of the importers would he increased without any reduction in pi ice? and thai the revenue raised on woollens would have to be laid on some other article of Ame.rican consumption...

WE FIND in The Sun a. sketch'of an address recently delivered before the Farmer's Club, at Nashville, which affords an excellent exemplification of the views held by the fossils of the old slaveholding class in portions of Tennessee and Kentucky. Geh. HARDING t,honght the land should be divided into a few great plantations owned by wealthy men, whom the mass of the people should serve as hired laborers. He preferred negro laborers, to whites, because the negro could be fed cheaper than the white man, and because his vote could be more easily controlled. He thought that the more ignorant the laborer the better it would be for the superior class and he opposed immigration for the reason that it would introduce the small farm system. These preposterous deas were propounded with owl-like gravity, and doubtless correctly represent the sentiments of a wealthy and influential class of landholders.

future

THE Chicago Republican, which is rather more inclined to Democracy than its name would indicate, has this allusion to the incoming Congress:

The Eepublican majority in the Forty second Congress will be large enough for all honest puposes—large enough to give a healthy ^Republican tone to all needful legislatien, but not latge enough to war rant any experiments in excessive meas ures. For the first time since their accession to power, we believe, the Eepub licans will not be able to pass any meas ure requiring a two-thirds vote. We shall therefore be denied the pleasure of the usual semi annual amendment to the Con stitution and the assent of the Administration will be necessary to the comple tion of any and every legislative act. These are not unmixed evils, however regarding them, rather ,an checks upon folly, we are disposed to accept them as additional guarantees of future triumphs for the Republican party,

Dissenting from so much of this as is intended to cast a slur upon those constitutional amendments "which were the natural results and are the substantial fruits of the war," we accept the balance as sound, practical sense. Too great strength, in any party, is a temptation to "excessive measures," and we look for ward with much hope to a Congress in which our friends will be continually r& minded that their retention of power will be wholly dependent on the use they make of it. The comparatively narrow margin between majority and minority will put both parties on their good behavior, the one desiring to keep and the other hoping to gain the ascendency by earning the approval of their masters, the people.

How the London Times was Sent to Paris. The long columns of announcements in the London Timet, intended for friends in Paris, have for some time been a frequent subject of remark, and people wondered what chance there was of their ever reaching the eyes for which thev were meant. The means adopted for this purpose are explained in the Times of January 80. Those pages of the paper which coutained communications to relatives in Paris were photographed with great care by the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company on pieces of thin and almost transparent paper, about an inch and a half in length by an inch in width

On these impressions there could be seen by the naked eye only two legible words. The Times, and six narrow brown bands representing the six columns of printed mater forming a page of the newspaper. Under the microscope, however the brown spaces became legible, and every line of the newspaper was found to have been distinctly copied, and with the greatest clearness. The photographs wer esent to Bordeaux for transmission thence by carrier pigeon to Paris. When received there they were magnified. by aid of a magic lantern, to a large size, and thrown upon a screen. A staff of clerks immediately transcrided the message and sent them off to the places indicated bv the advertisers.

IT IS claimed by Professor Swallow, engaged in the geological survey of Missouri that there are larger trees in that Stale than in California and he .notes a sycamore that is 45 feet in circumference.

A LIVE cat was found in the mail bag at a town in Maine one day last week. The Postmaster made diligent search through all the United States postage laws to ascertain the amount of postage on the animal, but found nothing touching the case.

Address or Democratic Committee and Report of Superintendent of Pnblic Instruction. To tho Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:

About four weeks ago McDonald, of Whitley, brought into the House a bill of charges against myself, made up of sundry items, the amount of which was that 1 had caused a report to be published at the expense of the Siatc costing about $11,000, while that of my predecessor cost but $1,800.

My friends were requested to have the matter investigated, and it was referred to the Cemmittce on Public Expenditures, consisting of Messrs. Haynes, Coggswell, Conner, Martin, of Putnam, Miles Hawley and Milliken. I have never been summoned to appear, before the Committee to give any information desired, or io answer any questions. I understand that the Public Printer has in like manner been uncalled.

In the address of a Joint Committee appointed by the Democratic Senators and Representatives in the General Assembly to the people of Indiana, they publish as one of the objects they have failed to accomplish, and for which the Republican raembers were responsible, by the resignations handed to the Governor on the morning of the 23d. the following:

Eighth—Barnabas Hobbs—A special committee was inquiring into the question why the printing of the present Superintendent's report costs about eleven thousand dollars, while the printing of Professor HOTS' report cost but about $1,800. The committee had found an over payment of $2,000, and had not compleled their investigations.

It will be observed that this gravestate: ment is no longer entertained by the Representative from Whitley alone, but is made by a committee of ail the Democratic members of both houses. It will be observed from the language of the report that they make the charge not as an inuer.do but as a fact, and BO state it.

Finding this charge so boldly repeated after time had elapsed for investigation, and that no further attempt would be made to investigate, I think best to ventilate the matter, by presenting the facts of the case as furnished by the records:

A biil of the State Printer is found on file in the Auditor's office containing sundry expenses, consisting of Treasurer's itemized report, costing S67 10 1U,CC0 copies itemized report of Sul'oriutendont of Public Instruction Binding for office library Report of State University .'. 200 House bills ... 200 Senate bills-.... 200 Senate bills :i reams engraving paper, House 3 reams engroving paper. Senate 30 reams tinted paper for plates 364 roams book paper

0,889 58 22 00 101 80 20 50 93 00 54 25 68 30 68 30 260 00 3,605 10

Amount ,$11,249 93 It will be seen that my report is declared by joint Committee of the Democratic members of both Houses to have cost about $11,000, when the printers' bill makes it plainly as words and figures can show it, but SG,889.5S. They make my report pay for treasurer's report of State University, binding for office library, House and Senate bills, House and Senate expenses for paper, papgr for the agricultural reports and other State printing, etc., etc., and charge it all to me, and go before the peo pie of the State serious.

Tile Sun hopefully concludes that, "The antiquated views of men like Gen. Harding will not, however, be able to stay the progress of the revolution in agricultural affairs which has begun in the Southern States, though the action of this class may result in keeping the States which they influence behind others in the march of improvement. T^e small farmers are already a power in the South, and will exert an immense influence toward directing its political course hereafter. That the people of most of the cotton States recognize and cheerfully accept this new order of things is creditable to their good sense, and promises well lor their prosperity."

claim then under the head of false made up account a credit of. $4,360 35 As property of tho State in lithograph plates of Normal School 375 00 And as they say they have found an overpayment ot' $2,000, and inasmuch as I neither audit nor settle the printer's bills, I shall be entitled to an additional credit of $2,000 2,000 00

Making in all to my credit on their count $6,735 35 From their mado-up account of 11,249 93 Take credits, by correction 6,735 35

And my report is responsible for...$4,51i 58 Two years ago, guided by my predecessors, I sent to the General Assembly a report treating of ordinary topics, and furnishing the nsual statistics. But to my surprise, soon after it was received by the House, a good, genial, Democratic friend moved that I be called on for an additional report on the educational finances of other States, etc., etc. I was exceedingly mortified that I had fallen so much below the Democratic standard, and went to work right earnestly to make out a second report, which the House had, I believe, by motion of a Democrat, printed. I suppose this will explain why the committee contrast my last report with Professor IIoss', instead of with my first.

Improving on these hints, 1 thought I would try to come up to the expectations of legislators, and by putting the desired information into one report instead of two, and being in the meantime called on by the State Board of Education to give additional statistical tables showing the condition of graded city schools, and also by the managers of our State Normal ancl Reformatory Schools to aid them in making these institutions better known throughout the State, and claiming that pictures will tell a more truthful story than a composition, and our various cities and incorporated towns being very desirous /or good architectural designs for school buildings, taking the repout of other States for my standard, and the richly embellished volume of our Stale Agricultural Board, I felt at liberty to interpret the sentiment of our people to be so liberal towards our educational aiid reformatory institutions that they would desire to have their advantages and designs as well represented to every portion of the State. And knowing, also, that all these institutions re* quire large annual appropriations for their completion and support, I thought best to send my report to the world containing just such information as the peo pie ought to have, and presenting it in the most intelligible manner. To do all this required a volume about twice the size of that of my predecessor, which, with its accompanying illustrations, will not be found extravagantly expensive at §4,51458, thought his may have cost but about $2,000. B. C. HOBBS,

Superintendsr.t of Public Instructions

recenty lectured tiff.

MR. MURDOCH has with great success, in the Eastern citi on "Hamlet." The theme is one with which, perhaps, no actor is more familiar, his study of it having extended over nearly his whole life. In the course of his lecture Mr. Murdoch considered the character of Hamlet, of which hesitation of purpose anil indecision were the key notes. Ilamlet, he said, had the heart to feel, the brain to conceive, but not the will to execute his passions were intense, and his impulses sudden, but they soon cooled. Evidences of this were seen all through the play, the object of which was that man should obey a higher power than his own will. lie also referred to the source from which Shakspeare had drawn his plot. It was, said the speaker, from the Danish history of Saxo Gramaticus, in which a prince of the same name as our hero assumes madness for the purpose of revenging his father's murder, committed under the same circumstauces. Mr. Murdoch, then, from a philosophical examination of the subject, look a moral view of Hamlet's character. He showed that, from, the time he had sworn so impulsive to his father's ghost, he had allowed his knowledgeof the morality of the crime which he had agreed to perform, to stay his hand, and although he'perfectiy well knew who was his father's murderer, he permitted the act of revenge to be postponed for the purpose of needlessly, but still further, testing the criminal, by means of a stage plav.

AN exchange ofl?rs this suggestion: "If Roman candles of large size, to throw red balls, were used at night on railroads, immediately on the breaking down of trains, it would be at once a simple and efficacious mode of warning approaching trains. It's an experiment worth trying, anywav, and can be done at a small outlay/'

Origin of Longfellow's line." Mr. James T. Fields, in "The Whispering Gallery" in the Atrantic Monthly lor March, says that Hawthorne dined one day with Longfellow, and brought with him a friend from Salem After dinner the friend said: "I have been trying to persuade Hawthorne to write.a story, based upon a legend of Acadie, still current there the legend of A girl who, in the dispersion of the Acadians, was separated from her lover, and passed her li!e in waiting and seeking for him, and only found him dying in a hospital, when both were old." Longfellow wonderfd thaf this legend did not strike the fancy of Llawthorne, and said to him: "If you have really made up your mind not to use it for a story, will you give it to me for a poem?" To this Hawthorne assented, and moreover promised not lo treat the subject in prcse till Longfellow had seen what he could do with it in verse. And so we have "Evangeline" in beautiful hexameters,—a poem that will hold its place in literature while true affection, lasts. Hawthorne rejoiced this great success of Longfellow, and loved to count up the editions, both foreign and American, of this now world renowed poem. 'i.i

A Husband's Little Ruse. -. The Chicago Mail says: It has now transpired that Henry Benecke, who we said in a recent issue attempted to poison himself, only took a large dose ^of Seidlitz powders in order to find out if his wife loved him. The following card would seem to show that he has found out: •'Mr. Editor: ould you please be so kind as to insert this few lines into your worthy Paper, just io clear a mans name samewath, it is on account of the last poisoning case of last Friday evening. I remonstratcagainst it the only thing I took was a heavy dose of.Seitlitz Powder, and that was nothing but a feint. I intended to find out the ilriie Character of Mrs. Benecke my wife, and I must say that I succided very much so that I am satisfied wilh tho result.

If 1 would have taken morphin it would have killed me in an hour as I took the powder at 6 precisely and at 8 O'clock they with my wife Came into my Room, and I saw distinctly that she did not show the least Emotion, as it would happen from a. woman who has got some Affection for her husband no more than that, at 10 oClokeshe came into the Saloon with a Policeman, and had me arrested because she thought that 1 was in such an danger that I would soon pass in. item-ity,-such are the facta as I state here now.

The Civil Service.

To the various measures now before Congress relating to reform of the Civil Service, Mr. Trumbull has added a joint resolution authorizing the President to prescribe rules and regulations applicable to pei'sons seeking admission to the Service, and to employ suitable persons to conduct such inquiries as, in his judgment, may be desirable. The proposition is not likely to prove acceptable. It contemplates too much for trading politicians, who would perpetuate the present system because it is suited to their purposes while sincere friends of the reform can not accept as satisfactory a change that would leave everything subject to the discretion of the Executive. Nor would the plan be just to the President. It would expose him to the annoying influences with which he is already familiar, and fasten upon him a responsibility which Congress should be willing to assume. The truth is, that there is no immediate prospect of any Civil Service reform that would be worthy of the name. The public are one-half in earnest on the subject, and politicians of both parties have no difficulty in finding excuses for the neglect of what might possibly turn out to be inconvenient to themselves.— N. 1'.

Tlic Deepest Hole in the World. Weclip the following from the Missouri ..Republican: When we quit work on the artesian well near the insane asylum, it was admitted that the hole was the deepest in the world. The St. Louis hole is now beaten by one in the vicinity of Potsdam, which is drilled to a depth of more than 2,200 feet. Commenced with the intention of boring an artesian well, it now serves- a much more interesting purpose. At a depth of 300 feet a mightly stratum of rock salt was discovered, which has not yet been pierced entirely at the immence depth of 5,500 feet. Other holes, distant several hundred feet, have been bored in order to ascertain the circumference of the salt bed, and everywhere salt has been struck at a depth of about 300, feet.

WATCHES.

The extensive use of theso 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 Wfillham Watch. TTo satisfy that class in all these rcspects, is to decide the question as to the real value of these time-keepers.

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

The superior organization and great extent of tho Company's Works at Walthara, enables them to piodnce watches at a price which renders competition futile, and those who buy any other watch merely pay from 25 to 50 per cent, more for their watchcs than is necessary.

These time-pieces combino overy iinprovethat 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 skilliul artisans in our works, and long use oh tho part of tho public, demonstrated to be essential to correct and endurinsr 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 of main-springs, is original wilh the American Watch Company, who, having had the refusal of all other contrivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion as being tho best and faultless.

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

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

Our new patent stem-winder, or keyless featch is:already a decided success, and a great improvement on any stem-winding watch in the American market, and by far the cheapest watch of its quality now ottered to the public. To thfcse 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 follows:

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-nALF—GET RID OF IT—BUY NEW OOODS AS CHEAPLY AS WE DO, and in selling them, BE CONTENT WITH A LIVING PKOFIT, and the Sabbatli-liko stillness of your stores will soon be broken up by the same eager throng of customers that you so constantly meet at our establishment. Far better do this, than seek to bolster up a business "growing smaller by degrees 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 it SIX cents, but this neither makes yours nor ours any better or any worse. It is the same Muslin still.
