DAILY EXPRESS.

TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA.

Wednesday Morning, March 29,1871.

THE State Supreme Court is again in

Hoy. H. C. NEWCOMB has not yet signified his acceptance of the Assistant Secretaryship of the Interior.

SENATOR MORTON will reply to SUMNER after the report of the San Domingo Commissioners is submitted.

ATTENTIVE readers of telegraphic news are already aware that the daughter of OWEN LOVEJOY lias been appointed Postmistress of Princeton, Illinois. The Illinois Republican delegation in Congress, out of the regard they have to the memory of her honored father, gave her their earnest sympathy and help, and the Senate approved the nomination the very day it was sent in.

-.XEXT Monday a Governor and other State officers, with members of Congress, will be elected in Connecticut. The Republican candidates for the principal positions are MARSHALL JEWELL for Governor, and JULIUS L. STRONG, STEPHEN W KELLOGG, IIENRY II. STARKWEATHER and GEQRGE COFFING for C'ongrgss, the first three having been members of the Forty-first Congress. The Democratic candidates are JAMES PI EVGLISH for re election as Governor, and ALFRED GOODRICH, JOHN KENDRICK, JOHN W STEDMAN and "WILLIAM IT. BARNUJI for Congress.

State officers and members of the Legislature are to be elected in Rhode Island, on Wednesday, the 5th of April. SETH PADELFORD, the present incumbent is the Republican, and THOMAS STEEN the Democratic candidate.

A FEW days ago the Indianapolis Sentinel, in the course of a bitter personal attack upon Senator MORTON, charged that his son, JOHN MOIITON, held "a position under the officer who has tlie Alaska seal fur business under his special keeping," and more than intimated that the Senator had procured the appointment for his son. It happens that there is no such "officer." The "Alaska seal fur business" is prosecuted by a commercial firm, under a contract with the Government, for which they were the highest bidders. MH, JonN MORTON is in their employ, on a salary not larger than is usually paid to a competent book keeper. In this connection a correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal states that "shortly after President GRANT'S inauguration, a Cabinet officer sent to the Senate the name of JOHN MORTON for an important and lucrative appointment under the Government. As soon as Senator MOR* TON was advised of the fact, he requested that the name might be withdrawn, as he had no desire that his son should hold any position whatever, under the Government, and the name was recalled at his request."

THE brief remarks of Senator HOWE, at the conclusion of Senator SUMNER'S speech, on Monday, are worthy of conspicuous republication. He said: "Today the Republican party has experienc ed that same anguish which swelled in the breast ol CJESAR when, having already been struck by CASCA and CASSIUS, he saw the third dagger uplifted by the hand of a dear friend, and there was wrung from his agonized bosom this exclamation: "Ettu Brule." For to day we had heard that Senator who had so earn, eatly urged upon the reluctant Senate to purchase those rugged, far-off regions the North Pole turning a deaf ear to the echoes which brought back his own exultant prophesy, that our city could be nothing less than the whole American Continent, with her gates open to all the surrounding seas. To-day the Senator arose not only to oppose the annexation of an island at our very doors, but denounces as a criminal a President who has ventured in the exercise of a strictly constitutional prerogative to advise its acquisition. He (HOWE) had sought the privilege of entering in an appearance here for that illustrious respondent. He would file no demurrer, nor interpose any dilatory pleas, but preferred a general issue."

SENATOR Sherman, of Ohio, in reply to an inquiry as to whether he would accept a renomination, says: "Even yet I think it too soon to answer formally. As a matter of course, I would feel highly honored with a re-election, and would serve faithfully and gratefully. There is no office of honor or trust that I would accept in exchange for that of Senator of the United States for the State of Ohio. Rut I have been so kindly treated by the Repwblicans of Ohio that I will not for a moment allow my personal hopes or aspirations to control or bias the deliberate judgment of my poliiical associates. My feeling, therefore, is to allow the question of my re election to be decided by prevailing sentiment, as it may be developed in the course of the canvass, without seeking, by any personal effort on my part to create or control it."

THE all-engrossing question among Episcopal young ladies about this time in Lent is, "What shall we wear at confirmation?" An exchange that professes to know what is proper says: In this country no particular style of dress is used on such an occasion, but in Catholic countries the young ladies appear in white, with veils and gloves. The most appropriate costume that could be worn is a black silk dress, with a small fancion cap of white tulle ortarleton, without shawls, cloaks or jewelry.

A NEWARK, New Jersey, paper in chronicling the resignation of a clergyman in that city, adds as a matter of news that "it is understood that the missionary society intend to appoint an unmarried man to fill the vacancy," not because a minister without a family might have more leisure to attend to the duties of a mission parish, but for the logical reason that "the directors see no use in paying $1,500 for the support of a man and family when an unmarried man can be got for five or six hundred a year."

JUDGE of Memphis, was recently called upon to preside as chairman at a public meeting in that city. During the proceedings an exciting discussion sprang up, and amid the confusion of loud speeches, motions and cross-motions, one speaker called out impatiently to have his motion put to the meeting. "Has your motion a second?" asked the Chair.

Speaker—"Yes, sir it has fifty seconds at least." Chair—"Then let it have ten more, and the Chair will make a minute of it.

A Romantic Exchange of Traveling Bags,

and

What Came of it.

A train bound for St. Louis had just left the depot at Bellefontaine, when a gentleman entered the smoking-car, and laid his hand npon the shoulder of his traveling companion—a tall, handsome man of thirty, who sat musingly blowing rings of smoke into the air. "Marcv," said the new comer, "if you want to see at once the sweetest and saddest sight you ever beheld, go into the last car but one on the train.' There's an emigrant German woman, with four little children, and during the afternoon, the youngest, a baby, has died. The mother and the other children are inconsolable." "I can understand," interrupted the smoker, ''the sadness of such a scene, but where is the sweetness yon spoke of?" "I'm coming to that. The whole party have been taken in charge by a young lady. Such a beauty! She's dried the mother's tears and wiped the children's no?es. She's a divinity! She only needs a few feathers on her shoulder-blades to make a full fledged angel of her. If I was not a married man, I'd never leave her till I'd made Mrs. AngelicaTownsend out of her." "That's a speech I shall faithfully report to Mrs. Agnes Townseud," said the gentleman addressed as Marcy, rising "I shall go back and feast my eyes on this beautiful Sister of Charity and," he added, taking his traveling satchel and shawl from the rack, "as we stop at the next station, which is due in ten minutes, I may as well take my traps through with me and join you on the platform."

Thus saying, Richard Marcy threw his shawl over his shoulder, and sauntered leisurely through the long train—rushing blindly and calmly to his fate. For, he entered the last car but one, he became a witness and an actor in a scene that influenced his future life.

The poor, grief stricken German, of whom his companion, Dr. Townsend, hud spoken, with the dead infant in her arms, sat silenily weeping over the little dead face.

The three sturdy children grouped in childish sorrow about their little dead brother was, indeed, a touching spectacle But standing beside them wa3 the divin ity of Dr. Townsend's admiration, and she who was most certainly to "»hare the ends" of the unhappy Kichard.

She was a tall, slender girl of eighteen, with magnificent eyes and hair. As he entered the car she was speaking, lier lovely face flushed, and the small, rosy mouth, disclosing a beautilul set of teeth, turned bewitchingly toward the tali stranger at the door." "Ladies-and gentlemen," said the sweet voice, "this poor woman, friendless, speaking no English, with lour little children, was expecting to fiDd work St. Louis to support them. If everything had gone well with her it would have been hard for her but with her little dead baby and her sorrowful heart, she is certainly a deserving object of charity and I propose that such as feel willing contribute their inite toward a little purse for her immediate wants and the burial of her poor baby." "And," she added, with a bewitching smile, "if any gentleman will lend me a hat, I will go round and take up a collection."

In an instant the gallant Richard pulled his traveling hat from his blonde curls and offered it to the Angel of Mercy, who accepted it with a smile, this time all his own, and commenaed gathering the readily forthcoming dollars her generous, graceful appeal brought from the purses of all in the car.

Richard watched the slender figure in gray gathering the money and, looking at the plaid cap in the white, jeweled fingers, he bethought him of his own donation, and stepping to the seat the beauty had just occupied, he laid his satchel and shawl upon a family of its kind, belonging to the angel in gray, and took from his pocket a ten dollar bill, which he placed in the little hand, which returned him his cap. Further damage the poor fellow received when a second smile and warmly worded thanks for his liberal contribution were dealt him from the beautiful mouth.

Dick was in the midst of an elaborate reply, when the cars stopped. He linger* ed yet another moment, seized his satchel and shawl, with his eyes still on the face of his charmer, and then, even as the cars were in motion, he bethought himself of the Doctor, and hurriedly left the car and joined his friend on the platform. "Well," ejaculated that worthy, "I began to believe you'd concluded to go and bury the dead baby, and make the protecting beauty Mrs. Angelica Marcy. Isn't she a stunner?"

Townsend," returned his friend,"don't use slang in speaking of the noble creature." He looked after the train ju3t disappearing in the distance. "I wish to heaven," he continued, "I'd remained aboard. How stupid I was to leave it. 1 might have learned her name and residence. And now "Now, in all probability," broke in the Doctor, "you'h never meet her in this vale of tears. But you'll know her in heaven, if you behave yourself well enough to get there, by her wings she'll have the biggest of any of them, seeing they've commenced to sprout on earth."

And thus rallying his thoroughly captivated friend, the two made their way to the house of an acquaintance, with whom they were to remain that night, and go on the next day to their destination—St. Louis.

After the first salutation, our hero went to his room to remove some of the evidencesof his long ride from New York. He had removed is coat, vest and collar he had splashed and soaped and washed till his damp curls clung close to his shapely head, when he made a startling discovery.

Flushed and breathless, lie burst into the next room, upon his friend. "Townsend!" cried he, "what on earth do you suppose? I've got the wrong bag. I've changed baggage with the Angel of Mercy. Look at that slipper. See that thimble. Contemplate that glove." "It's evident you've got the lady's satchel. And what was there in yours?" "Don't bring up that dread.ul idea," said Dick. "Cigars and a hair-brush, a pack of cards and a comb, pocket flask and a tooth-brush—everything disreputable. If I am judged by that bag, I'm a lost man." "And this I took for a clean shirt," and Dick held up a frilled and fluted sack, such as do duty for more extensive nightdresses with ladies when traveling. "I'd like to see Angelica when she opens mv satchel."

And Dick fell to musing, with the slipper perched on two fingers, and the frilled white sack spread out tenderly on his knee. $ 5s a $

In the upper apartment of a handsome mansion in St. Louis, on the evening of the day our heroine first made the reader's acquaintance, beautiful Belle Alden, the petted and only daughter of the house, sat contemplating the various articles her confidential maid was disposing upon the table—articles taken from no less a receptacle than Dick Marcy'a traveling bag.

The cards and cigar-case laid side by side, and a highly scented party they were. "What's in the little silver flask, Rosa?" said the fair mistress. "Brandy, ma'am," replied the maid. "He can't be very dissipated, to travel with such a little bottle. That's in case of sickness, I suppose," returned Belle. "It is my belief," said Rosa, who was a shrewd girl, "that the gentleman was

mighty nice one elseyon'd not so readily excuse the cards and the bottle." "For shame, Rosa. All gentlemen play euchre traveling, and even clergy-! men take a little brandy in case of sickness," answered Lelle. "And this man was a gentleman, and a liberal one, too, for he gave the poor emigrant woman ten dollars. What's that Rosa?" I

For, at that moment, Rosa held between her fingers a letter. Whether it was wrong to read a stranger's letter vexed Belie for a moment, as her eyesglanced at the superscription and handwriting. "Why, of all things!" exclaimed the delighted girl, seizing the letter. "Why, Rosa, this is Jenny Marcy's writing, and addressed to Richard Marcy—her only darling brother—who was in Europe when we iwo graduated at Madam Ritter's, in Brooklyn.

Belle read rapidly till she had reached the middle of the letter, when she burst into a merry laugh"Hear this, Rasa," she said, and she read from the letter: "Above all things, Dick, dear, don't fail, when in St. Louis, to see my best friend and schoolmate, Belle Alden. I know you will fall in love with her, lor, besides being the best girl in the world, she's a beauty and an heiress, and father's choice above all others for his son's wife. lie used to talk it over at home, and hope Belle would not marry hefore you came home from Europe She is full us anxious to know you, and wears your hair and mine in a locket father gave her last year. Give her lots of love, and beg her to overlook your many imperfections, for the sake of her old school-fellow, Jenny." "Then this gentleman, is, of course, Miss Jenny's brother," said Rosa, "and what will she say when she hears of your having met in this romantic way "I don't intend to tell her of it till go to New York this fall," said Belle. "Perhaps her brother will call."

But in this supposition Belle was wrong. The month passed, and she saw no more of the golaen-headed Rich ard.

And she carefully separated the yel low lock in the little keepsake from the dark tress of Jenny's, and put it in its place alone, while another locket held the bit of Jenny's. And somehow Belle looked very often at the wee golden curl and she never did so but the rest of the handsome head sprang up beside the lock and she would ait and contemplate the picture her fancy wrought for her little dreaming tha interest she was al lowing to grow in her bosom for Jenny's brother.

In the fall Belle and her father went to New York and the first day after arriv al found her sitting with her old friend who, after the effusive meeting was past sat down to empty her soul. "I am so glad that you are here tlii month," Jenny said, "because I am to be married in October, and I have always been crazy to have you for a bridesmaid and Dick is to be Harry's best Belle blushed. "But Dick has fallen hopelessly, madly in love." Belle turned pale. "Yes. I was dreadfully provoked when he passed through St. Louis and never went near you. But he went wild over some lady he met on that fatal trip. He will talk to me by hours of his Angelica And when I have spoken of you he has been positively rude, and asked mo to have done bothering him about my freckled school friends—you know that your picture shows freckles. But bless me you haven't any now! And your picture don't look any more like you than it does like me, not a bit." "But tell me," Baid Belle, "is your brother engaged to this lady?" "Engaged! Why, dear heart, he don't know her name. He just found some of her old clothes somewhere. He's got her old slippers under a glass case he'sgot her gloves stuffed under another he'sgot her nightgown done up in lavender lie's got her gold thimble .hung on his watch chain, and I do believe he's got a hair brush and some hair pins next to his heart! Oh, it's folly to interfere! He's beyond all hope. I did think the excite ment of my wedding would wean him from it but not a bit. He looks at my new things as calmly as an oyster, and only said—it's not kind of me to repeat it, though," broke off Jenny. "What was it he said?" inquired Belle, laughing now heartily. "Don't fear for my feelings." "Why," he said, "I'll stand up with your friend, Belle, and see you safely mar ried and then I'm off to winter in Paris I'm done with love on my own account. It's positively awful."

And so Belle thought, as she looked at her old slippers and gloves lying beneath a globe on either side of the faithful Richard's mantel. "And," 6aid Belle, "since he desires only to meet me on the morning of the wedding, so it shall be. I will be introduced only as we are leaving the house, and he can do as he pleases about contin uing the acquaintance afterward."

Belle was radiant with happiness when she returned to her father, and delighted his fond heart by the change, for Belle had been very quiet of late.

Jenny and Belle shopped and talked and visited together for the next few days, and when the eventful morning arrived, and amid a bevy of beautiful girls, Belle shone like a queen, the bride was eclipsed, and delightfully acknowledged it. "Oh, Belle!" she said "I long to have old stoical Dick see you. Hark I there's his step. Come into the next room now, and be introduced. Don't wait till the carriages come—it's an hour yel,"

And Belle, with a beating heart, swept through the door, and stood even as Dick first saw her, only in place of the jfray traveling dress, a magnificent white Satin fell in rich folds about her, and upon her lovely white throat lay the turquoise locket that held Dick's golden curl. Upon the beautiful head, crowned by its chestnut hair, a coronal of pearls added to the grace and beauty of an image that, shrined in Dick's heart, was already an angel.

Belle did not look up, but she felt the presence, as Kichard Marcy came up and was introduced to little Jenny's old schoolmate. Then, as he held out his hand, she raised her eyes, and laid her tiny palm in his, and said: "I think we had better rectify that mistake about the traveling bags, Mr. Marcy!" "Good heaven, Jenny?" said Dick Marcy. "Why didn't you tell me that your friend Belle was my 'Angel of Mercy

Because I didn't know till last night, and then Belle made me promise not to tell. And beside®, you didn't want to meet the freckled school girl till it was positively necessary," returned Jenny, mischievously.

It would be hard to say which of the four that made Jenny's bridal party was the happiest that day.

Dick did not go to Paris that winter. He found that St. Louis contained more attractions thnn any foreign city.

But the next fall did see Dick and Belle on their wedding tour, and he vows he will have the old romantic traveling bags brushed up for the occasion. Dr, Townsend, who is to go along, says he knew, the minute he saw the girl, she would one day be Angelica Marcy, as he "felt it in the air."

WALTHAM

WATCHES.

The extensive oso 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 do id the question as to the real value of these time-keepers. iVIore than SOO,OGO of these watches are now speaking for themselves in the pockets of the people—a proof and a guarantee of their gnperiority over all others.

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

These time-pieccs combine every improvement that along experience has proved of real practical use. Uaving 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 bo essential to correct and enduring time-keeping.

Among the many improvements we would particularize: The invention and uso of a centre-pinion ot peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the train by the breakage of main-springs, is original with the American Watch Company, who, having had the refusitl of all 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 W atches.

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

Our new patent stem-winder, or keyless watch 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 qualify now offered to the public. Xo 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 tollnws AMKKIUAN WAT CO., Walthtm. Mass.

It costs Carpet Stores twenty cents on a dollar for every yard of Carpet they sell, and so in order to make any show at all of competing with us they are forced to buy shoddy and unknown mttkos of Carpets, which they endeavor to palm oft on their oustomers as "Hand Loom" or "Fimily" Car ets.
