Political Notes and Clipping*.

TIIE enhancement of domestic productions always IOV.-CM prices to the consumer.

SAN Doarrsuo promise.! to be the staple of political diet un'il the campaign of 1872 opens.

TdE last statistical returns show that out of every five grown-up persons England one is without education, so far as measured by the test of writing their names.

A MR. PETER SJIITITERS offers to write speeches for members of Congress, and through the New York

World

publishes

his prices for the variety that he offers to furnish. THE I'Wc Trader for March makes its appearance on time. It no longer indulges its favorite amusement of figuring up the defeat of that pestilent Protectionist BLAINE, for Speaker.

THE Indianapolis Journal'* Washington special pays the Senate is strongly in favor of passing, during this tession, a measure for the protection of the people in the Southern State?.

FROM the Sentinel we learn that the State officers, Auditor, Secretary and Treasurer, charged by the recent act of the Legislature with the distribution of the Sinking Fund to the counties, are taking the necessary preparatory steps thereto. As the distribution is required to be la«eil upon the last census a short delay has been necessary in order to obtain the corrected census returns.

THERE is a law in Alabama which, if properly enforced, will be likely to go a long way toward the suppression of Ku.KIux murders. Under this enactment, the families of persons murdered by bands of disguised men may claim from the counties in which the murders occur not less than $5,000 in each case. Two suits are now pending against Madison county, under this law, and the money will doubtless have to be paid.

THE Enquirer says the letters of "Buckeye" are ''nothing but the foolish produc* tions of a single person, and we do not know a Democrat in all this region who does not unreservedly and severely condemn them." The same journal also remarks (in another connection): "The partisan mind generally prefers a false* hood that is in consonance with its temper to the truth which is disagreeable to it."

IS announced that the report of the Committee on Southern outrages will present a review of the testimony taken, proving the existence of a political organization called the "Ku Klux Klan," controlled by prominent Democratic politicians in the South and will show the fallacy of the arguments made before the Committee, that the society was organized to protect citizens from the Loyal League of the South, composed of loyal men.

FROM the papers found in theTuileries after the (light of the Empress Eugenie, it appears that Louis Napoleon, during his reign, spent the following sums on the different branches of his family: The members of the .Jerome Bonaparte familv received 07,000,000 francs the Lucien Bonaparte family, 12,000,000 theMurats, 13,000,000 the Princess Bacciocchi, (1,0 00,000 other members about 1,000,000: the whole presenting a total of 70,1(00,000 francs. A pretty little bill!

THE WASHINGTON correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal

remaks that a

changc of Collector of the Fourth Indiana District having for some time been strongly urged, Senators Morton and Pratt have decided to recommend the nomination of Lieutenant Governor Cumbackfor the position. The Collector-hip of this district is much the most lucrative in the State, by reason of the fact that there are located wHhin its limits a number of large distilleries—the Collector's salary and commissions amounting to from $8,000 to $10,000 per annum. Mr. Steven son, the present Collector, has held the office for over four years.

AT a municipal election held in Frederick, Maryland, last week, Thomas M. Holbrtinner, Republican, was elected Mayor by a majority of one hundred and eighty-six. The Republicans also elected all of the aldermen and four out of seven councilmen, thus effecting a complete revolution. This fact may be insigtyficant in itself, but, like the straws which the hay press of the Democracy delight in so much, it shows which way the wind blows in Maryland. The hills of Frederick are as loyal to-day as they were when old Barbara Fritchie's flag waved over them.

NOTICING the report that the Ku-Klux investigating committee has been informed of three hundred murders, growing out of polities, in South Carolina, the Chicago

Republican

pleasantly suggests

that if political feeling there has become hot enough for that sort of exercise, perhaps the best thing that could be done would be for the rest of the country to form a "ring," and let the beligerent politicians fight it out on any line they may select, if it takes all summer. The State could well spare a few hundred riproarious rebels, more or less. If she should also lose an equal number of pestilent place-huntcrs of the carpet-bagging persuasion, in such a warfare, the loss would not be altogether irreparable and the chances of ultimate peace would certainly be improved.

THE temperance movement has recently assumed a new phase in the temperance city of Boston. On Washington's birthday a new State temperance society was organized with a view to act wholly on moral and religions principles. It was stated in the resolutions that while seeking to promote total abstinence by moral and religious agencies, they would bid God speed to every other organization attempting to compass the same results for the cause. Among the speakers was Governor C'laflin, who Tas also upon the list of vice presidents, together with a dozeu ladies. Rooms were opened at No. 11 Cornhill, as the centre of the society, and from the^e must emanate a stream of good inlluence, purifying from intemperance and its' attendant crime.

a number of Eastern woolen manufactur ers have started •'the inquiry whether New England is not paying more Protection than she gets." They are troubled about the duty on wool, but are not' all anxious to take the duty off of manufactured woolens, or to reduce the prices of woolen goods, which are too low to afford them all the profit they want. Of course, the West will not favor this scheme. We are for giving as fair a chance to the farmer's wool as to the manulacturer's woolen. It is proper to say that only a few grasping Yankee manufacturers have joined in this movement of suicidal folly.

THE FASHIONS.

Brussels and Vienna Paris.

instead of

Paris having become exceedingly unfashionable, in consequence of "circumstances beyond control," the modistes

are

drawing their hints and their patterns from Brussels and Vienna, and the Milliner and Dressmaker

sums tip the latest

news as follows: Nothing is felt more by dressmakers in Brussels and London than the scarcity of trimmings. The great houses of Lyons are no longer manufacturing chenille and silk trimming Paris and its innumerable manufactories are no longer accessible and Brussels, although constantly increasing the quantity made, finds it impossible to supply the demand for fringes and silk trimmings.

The open sleeve has introduced a' change-in the tindersleeves, which is now made wide and trimmed with innumerable rows of lace, or one deep frill of broad Mechlin or Valenciennes lace.

The hair is still worn high, but quite flat at the back, in braids or small loops. There is no change in the bonnet, and hats are much worn. Opera cloaks and scarfs of crepe de chine

are much worn.

Scarlet and amber are the favorite colors The oepe de chine

embroidered shawl

dyed a bright color, makes a beautiful opera cloak. They are usually lined with white silk quilted.

A material in perfect imitation of quilted silk can be had for either petticoats, under dresses, trimming and lining, for from five to eight francs a yard. It is made in Brussels. The beautiful trimming called "Kilting," is also made beautifully in Brussels, and can be had very cheaply. This trimming is made of fine book musliu edged with imitation lace, and laid by machinery in flat and regular pleats. It is very pretty, and greatly in favor.

The efforts made by Vienna and Brussels to introduce new styles has by no means failed and the wholesale houses of England rejoice in the increased demand for Yorkshire cloths, for Irish poplins, and for Honiton lace.

From Vienna we receive records of handsome dresses a I' Anglaise

which, as

far as the actual fabric is concerned, are Irish, as the following descriptions show: long train skirt of rose-colored Irish poplins, short and plain in front, full and longawcZernVe,-the bodice tight fitting over Viennese corsets, is made with basques, fitting perfectly round a sixteen inch waist, deep-falling sleeves, open from the elbow bodice open in front, filled in with fine tulle undersleeves of tulle ruches of tulle, showing beneath the edges of the basque, and placed inside the hanging sleeves. This costume is prepared by noted modiste*

of Vienna for a fair re-

aetionnaire.

Another dress of rich grey

poplin is plain and very full, but has a rich trimming of English lace (Honiton), surrounding and outlining the train the corsage is trimmed en suite

and the Henry

II. sleeves to correspond. For ball dresses, we receive sketches and descriptions of delicate clouds of tarlatan of various shades of the same color, looped and draped one tunic above the other, with bouquets of flowers, which are now more than ever employed for evening trimmings. Flowers are used in sprays, garlands, wreaths, and actually as cordon,

and conceal the point

of union between flounces and headings. There is some talk of reviving the flower necklaces, but this mode has not yet become the vogue.

White Chambery gauze, trimmed with black lace and mourning flowers, is arranged for the wife of Senator

known partisan of the French. This toilet is the first costume not

imported

which the lady has worn since her introduction to society. For young ladies, white muslin dresses are much used. They arc trimmed with point Duehexie,and

are wore over rose or blue sat

in dresses. A parure of flowers is worn forming silk chatelaines

and

bretelles.

The Potency of Hmnbnsr. Not many years ago a cable dispatch announced that Ole Bull had died, and the papers were immediately thereafter filled with obituary notices of the famous violinist. The thing was a trick of the musician's agent, who cunningly saw in the report, its effects, and its subsequent denial as extensively as it had been pub lished, a large amount of gratuitous advertising, which many thousands of dollars would have been required to pay for And'now we have another dodge of the same description inflicted upon us in the cable report of the death of Mile. Schneider, the blonde of Bordeaux, and famous, or infamous, "interpreter of the poetry of filth"—as a contemporary calls her. The lady has been engaged to appear in New York next fall, and the intelligence of her death has been prolific of obituary notices, and moral reflections on her artistic position, to be followed, as in the previous instance, by the announcement that the rumor of her demise was a falsehood. But then, the notoriety the newspaper notices have given her will draw crowds to see her, and the authors of her sudden "taking off" will have reward in the shape of plethoric wallets.

Alter all,there is really nothing like humbug—nothing the people at large are so truly fond of—nothing that has more importance with them than that in which humbug has the principal share We remember an instance of this devotion to humbug, which occured some twenty years a?o in this city, but somewhat in a different direction, though fully illustrative of the statement. A lady who was at that time prominently before the pub lie in a certain rank in literature in which the most rigid delicay was not thought an absolute essential, had written a book. The thing was perfectly harmless in itself—as chaste as the majority of novels are even now but the doubt arose in the publisher's mind, when the work was in the press, that he had entered upon a bad speculation. He so expressed himself to a friend connected with the Boston press, who is what is called a shrewd person, who advised the publisher to have the book heartily blown up for its immorality, and that would be sure to sell it. Notices were furnished by the newspaper man enlarging on the utter impassibility of any one rising from its perusal without feelings of utter disgust, recommending that it be seduously kept out of every household, denouncing it as teeming with sinful thoughts and shame less utterances, and all that sort of thing. The consequence was that the publisher sold eighteen thousand copies in six weeks, and nobody was either worse or better through its perusaL Fixe la Humbug.'

It has more of the quality of acceptance before the public, and more of pecuniary profit to those who wield it cautiously, than anything else we know. —Boston Times.

Pottsville can boast of having this creature, as, witness {the following from the

Miners' Journal of

a.recent date:

"A caseof cruelty has j*u.A been brought TXT

this purpose. She had

no money, neither did she know where to raise it. The landlord demanded the money promptly, and, not receiving it, immediately issued a landlord's warrant, and without going through the regular routine of giving notice, etc.,, in company with a constable visited the house, and, calling a number of the neighbors, proceeded to dispose of th6 widow's, stove table, beds and bedding, and a number of other articles, which brought in abont twelve or thirteen dollars. This .^as enough, and more too, to pay the rent and the constable fees. The woman Was then turned out with her little ones, and succeeded in finding a sheltering roof ^in Minersville street, where the little family now sleep on the floor, and keep house with scarcely an article of furniture.

What a heart of, stone a man must have-to oppress a poor woman and thr.ee helpless children in this manner right in the midst of the moat severe season of all the year? We pity him! From the bottom of our heart we do because his punishment in the great' hereafter will be unmeasured. The least he could have done, had he not been heartless, would have been to allow the woman^ to take her furniture and depart, and trusting in a just God for the remuneration in some other way of the five or'six dollars the widow owed him for rent."

ARIOSTO, the great Italian poet,'sends Astolof a journey to the mooi) in search of the lost wits of-Orlando, the Paladin. The messenger was met by St. John the Evangelist, who conducted him to the place where the olyect of his search was deposited. "Before they started to the earth, however," says Ariosto, "the good saint favored his guest with many a sage remark, particularly on the subject of poets, and the neglect of them by the courts. He showed how foolish it was in princes and other great men not to make friends of those who can immortalize them, and observed, with singular indulgence, that crimes themselves might be no hindrance to a good name with posterity, if the poet were but fed well enough for spices to embalm the criminal. He instances the cases of Homer and Virgil.' "You are not to take for granted,"said he,"that Ene as was as pious as fame reports him, or Achilles and Hector so brave. Thousands and thousands of warriors have excelled them but their descendants bestowed fine houses and estates on great writers, and it is from their honored pa ges that all the glory has proceeded. Augustus was no such religious or clement prince as the trumpet of Virgil has pro claimed him. It was his good tad in •etry that got him pardoned his iniquitous proscription. Nero himself might have fared as well as Augustus had he possessed as much wit. Heaven and earth might have been enemies to no purpose had he known how to keep friends with good authors. Ilomeivmakei the Greeks victorious, the Trojans a poor set. and Penelope undergo a' thousand wrongs rather than be unfaithful to her husband and yet, if you would have the real truth of the matter the Greeks were beaten, the Trojans the conquerers and Penelope was —no bettor than she should be! See, on the other hand, what infamy has become the portion of Dido. She was honest to her heart's core and yet because Virgil was no friend of hers*3he is looked upon as a baggage

This little lesson from the mouth of St. Jphn the Evangelist, applies equally well now as it did in the days of Ariosto.— Although the Paladins of chivalry are gone, and possibly the Homers and Virgils are without fit successors, yet it is wise for the man who would "win the name of truly great" to look reverently tip to and treat with great consideration those in whose hands is placed the power to "make or damn, him as ^hey please."— Verb. sap. sat. »-T »-y—: Anecdote of an Eccentric Clergyman.

Daysville, in Killingly, Connecticut, and Thompson were contigious parishes. Mr. Day's society rather -ran down, and .their meeting-house became shaky while Dr. Dow's parish increased and had anew meeting-houge. Dr. Dow was an own cousin to the famous Lorenzo Dow) and shared in the native wit of the Connecticut Dows. As winter approached, good old Mr. Day, finding the old fashioned meeting-house (tliey had no churches in those days) being very uneomfortable, visited Dr. Dow and said, "Our meeting house i^ getting very much out of repair, and I thought you might pflssibly stir up my people to make it more comfortable." Well, said Dr. Dow, I will exchange with you next Sabbath and see what I can do. So the exchange was agreed upon.

It proved a very cold, winter-like day, as though Providence designed to favor the effort of D.rt Dow. When he first entered the pulpit he threw ofl'his cloak. The pulpit was one of those old-fashioned, high boxes with a window in its rear. Dr. Dow soon began to show signs of being cold. He first put on his cloak, and gathered it closely around his little body. Then he looked up at the window where a pane of glass was broken. Then bending over the pulpit, he said to a lad in a near pew, "Boy, won't you lend me your cap? It is cold up here." The boy handed up his cap, which Dr. Dow pushed into the place of the broken glass.

Then he proceeded with the service till he came to the second singing. Then, looking up at the other side of the window, where also a pane of glass was gone, he stooped over the pulpit and said to a man, "Sir, will you lend me your hat? It is very cold here." The man handed up his hat, which was soon made to supply the place of the lost pane. Suffice it to say, Mr. Day soon found his house repaired.

Dr. Dow was an excellent singer. On one occasion he preached in a neighboring pulpit, where the singing was very bad. When they had just gobbled four verses, he roe and read another hymn, and said, "Old hundred," and pitched the tune himself, after adding: "I can't preach after such singing."—Pastor and People.

PERHAPS, as a reviewer has it, if all things which properly belong to ea«h other were to come into the world simultaneously, we should be without any incentive to seek and strive after completion. But, just as a young bride decks hersel' out in her grandmother's jewels, and thereby enhances both their beauty and her own, so sometimes does the poesy of a later day embellish the freshness of its own fancies by the inherited treasures of the past. And these, in turn derive from the bloom of their wearer'a novel and surprising charm. Thus are old yellow parchments at the magic touch of the poet turned to laurel leaves.

The extensive use of thete watches for the last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engiceers 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 Teal value of these time-keepers.

cas» faunikto he r**fcr.More than StMH* of these w«iches ar*

BOW apeakipg 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 which renders competition futile, and: those who buy any other watch merely pay from 25 to 50 per cent, more for their watches than, is necessary.

These tim'e-pi!ces combine evory 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 skillful artisans in our works, and long use on the part of the public, demonstrated to be essential to correct and endurinr time-keeping.

Among the maYiy improvements we would particularise: The invention 'and use of a centre-pinion ol peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the train by the breakage oi main-Springs, is original with the American Watch Company, who, having- had the refusal of all other contrivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion as being the best and faultless.

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

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 new patent,stem-winder, or keyless watch is alroady'a decided, success, and a great 'improvement on any stem-winding wateh in the American market, and by far the oheanest-watch of its quality now offered to the public. Tb 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.

Tho trademarks of the various styles made by the Company are as follows:

A Superb glove-fitting FRENCH WOVEN CORSET, all sizes, down to 50 Country stores charge ?1 50 for same goods, and Terre Haute fancy stores charge 75c and $1 00. The celebrated Hip Gore Corset, extra quality, reduced to 45c

This Corset is being sold in fancy good stores at 75c and $1. We have recently been enlarging our ^Notion Department, and in the future we propose to make it as difficult for high priced notion stores to overcharge the people as we have already made it for high priced Dry Goods stores.

Elegant Dress Goods 25c, worth 40c French Merinon 50c

FURS closing out at give away prices rather than carry them over, Balmoral Skirts

Piles of other goods equally cheap. We are now engaged, in buying an entirely new stock of goods for the opening of our MAMMOTH ESTABLISHMENT at Evansville, and a portion of these goods, which we are buying at fabulously low prices are being received here, which is enabling us to offer a great many new goods at fearfully low rates. jjr

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«o Terre Haute to break up Monopolies— net to form them I 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 BID OF IT—BUY NEW GOODS AS CHEAPLY AS WE DO, and in selling: them, BE .CONTENT WITH A. LIVING PKOFIT, and the Sabbath-like stillness of you^ 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 they are so simpleminded as not to know for instance, that an Atlantic Mills Muslin is the same in vour 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. Yonr abuse only advertises us and injures yourselves, so we can stand it, if you can.
