TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA.
Tuesday Morning, April 1, 1871.
A I.AEGE number of the most eminent fttid wealthy citizens of New York have combined under the title of the "AntiIncome Tax Association," having for their object opposition to the assessment and collection of this levy, basing their action solely upon its unconstitutionality. The association has published an address to the citizens of New York inviting cooperation and giving their reasons for their opposition.
THE Council, at the session this evening, will elect School Trustees for the ensuing term. It is the most important act which the law devolves upon our Municipal Legislature, and we hope it will receive that careful consideration which its weighty import demands. At present our schools .ire making splendid progress the entire system is working successfully and (he public look to the Council to see that the right men elected as members of the Board.
SOME "sore-headed" editors are raising the howl (hat SCTMNEU hasn't been treated fairly because he wasn't allowed further lime to speak on San Domingo. If it will satisfy the Senator and his champions we suggest that two or three days be given him in which to briefly supplement his ponderous effort of last week. Or if, a3 has been suggested, that effort was but a prefatory performance, let him have week or ten days to finish the volume and the Government can put a new loan on the market to pay the public printer liy all means, "Let us have peaco."
1 A S always been the failing of WENDELL PHILLIPS, sayu the Boston Times, to espouse the cause of the weaker party—a gallant streak in his nature that makes up for a great many shortcomings But he overdid the matter when he un dertook to abuse Germany for her victo ries over France. In his lecture in New York he spoke of that race of "brutes and barbarians," dwelling in the very centre of Europe, and called Germans by cour tesy of Prussia, that "danger and curse to civilization of the "blasphemous and bigoted despot of Berlin and his tool, Bis MARC'K, loaded with the curses of the next generation." And now the Germans soldiers yesterday, citizens to-day, are re turning to their peaceful pursuits, and preparing to build tip a homogeneoui state under the auspices of law, freedom and order, which shall guarantee peace and progress while the French, whom he extolled ai the model race, are engaged in the pastime of cutting each other's throats.
Vanity Fair Once More. 1 hear that another comic paper is to shine upon us before long to (ill the place of the departed Vanity Fair, Mrs. Grundy, Punchinello and the long line of pre deceasors to those interesting but unprofitable sheets. How the capital for the paper will be raised I can not say, but would imagine that it would be difficult to find anybody to advance the requisite cash after so many failures. Every funny paper of a high character that has attempted to live in New York has only succeeded in dying it wears out the patience and empties the supporters, and it generally swallows much more monev than ita founders cxpacted (o lose. Punchinello devoured sixty thousand dollars before it yielded to fate, and I believe Vanity Fair was about as badly off'. Mrs. (!rundy required a great deal to keep her before the people, and I could go on with the list almost ad infinitum. The only comic papers that succeed are those of the "Yankee Notion" and "Budget of Fun" sort, that are intended for the general public, and pick tip their wit wherever they can find it, without troubling themselves much about originality. Their engraving generally looks as if done with a chisel upon a pine .plank, though there are some notable exceptions. The "Budg et of Fun" sometimes indulges in illustrations that would be creditable to any paper, and in this respect goes ahead of its competitors. If the new paper will combine some of the features of the story papers along with its with, it will improve its chances of success. But if it follows the old track its demise is only a question of time.—A'. Y. Cor. Boston nil fx.
Whaling1.
1 he whaling bnsiness has become so unprofitable that the ship owners of New Red.ord, it is stated, contemplate sending out again only one half of the whaling \^ssels that may arrive in that port this season.
The reasons assigned arc that the returns of the whaling lleet are in no way commensurate with the cost of the outfit, and that the loss will be diminished by reducing the number of vessels.
The American whalers now afloat number 28-5, of which 174 are owned in New Bedford, 27 in Provincetown, 21 in New London, nine at Westport, eight at Fairhaven, seven in Boston, seven in San Francisco, six in Nantucket, six in Edgarton, five in Marion, three in each of the ports of New York, Salem, Sag Harbor and Dartmouth, and one at each of the ports of Beverly and Tisbury.
Of these 2ivj vessels only fifteen measure over 400 tons, the largest measuring -(•"0 tons. he others run from fortyeight tons up. The aggregate measurement of the entire lleet is So,400 tons, giving an average of ."00 tons to each vessel.
In 1857 there were G70 whaling ves-oe-lVvitil
an
a"SreSate
measurement of
-10,000 tons, sailing from the ports of the I nited States. The loss in fourteen vears has therefore been ns.j vessel* measuring 134,500 tons. lhe cause of this decline are the yearly diminished catch, and the increasing substitution of mineral oil for whale oil, and the extended substitution of gas.
JIftxims for Young Girls, Never make your appearance in the morning wiihout first having .dressed yourself neatly and complete. Keep your clothing, especially under-clothing, in perfect order. Never let pins do duty as buttons, or strings take the place of proper bands. Train yourself to useful occupations. Kemember It is wicked to waste time.and nothing gives such an impression of vanity and absolute stillness as never having anything to do. If you are in jour fathers house, take some department household labor upon vourselt,and apart "?dl®:or.k, and make it your business ?u •°iU' °-not
leta cal1
fr°m
this idle girl, or a visit from that, or an invitation from the other, interfere with the performance of your duty. Letvour pleasure come in as recreations, „t as the business of your life. If ou want to marrv, de not court or try to attract the attention of gentlemen. It i3 better to be a woman than a wife, and do not degrade your sex by making your whole existence turn'on the pivot of matrimonv.
NEW YORK CM FASHION GOSSIP.
From the CourierVStreet Salon and Shop."! BONXETS AND HATS. Most of the bonnets displayed at the openings are straw. The popular shape is the gypsy, which is nothing more than a pretty compromise between a bonnet and a hat. The most dressy are the chip gypsies. A very stylish one has a low crown, with a deep brim, which is edged with black and white lace, and a white marabout feather, with delicate black ostrich tips, making an effective trimming. Black gro3 grain strings tie under the chin. Another, of EMGLISII STRAW WITH A ROLLED UP
BRIM,
is trimmed with black velvet and piping of lemon-colored silk, and with clusters of half-blown roses and soft green leaves. A bonnet of pale blue creye de chene has the curtain, which is slightly turned up, lined with the same shade of silk. It is ornamented with point lace, pale pink roses, and ends and loops of blue ribbon. A pretty crown trimming consists of a twist of harmonizing shades of while other popular trimmings black and white lace, flowers.

ROUND HATS
display various shapes. Some have the half-high crowns and wide brims, and very closely resemble the gypsy bonnets. Turbans and other sailor hats are also in vogue.
EVENING TOILETTES.
1
I*
A stylish model displays a dress of ceil blue. The long trained skirt is trimmed with a deep flounce, cut in large scollops on the bottom, which is edged with duchesse lace. The tunic skirt which is open in front and puffed at the back, ha.revers at the sides, while it is finished on the bottom with a narrow flounce, also edged with lace. The low bodice has a berthe which turns back in revers from the front—also edged with lace. A very simple evening toilette
FOR A YOUNG LA'DY
may be made of organdy, tarletan or silk. The skirt, which is round in front, with the demi-train at the back, is without trimming, and the two tunics, which are simply edged with lace, have the effect in front of large scollops which overlap each other, but which fall plain and straight at the back. The corsage is low, with lace chemisette, short sleeves, and black velvet bretelles. A stylish model has the trained Bkirt trimmed down the sides, and a little above the bottom with very wide lace, which is arranged as a flounce, with ruchings and puffs of lace above it. Wide deep puffs at the back and pointed basques, which are a continuation of the low bodice, form a kind of tunic, which is edged with white lace puffings.
THE POLONAISE
is one of the favorites of the season. But the shapes are so numerous, each gar* ment having some especial point of attraction, that it is difficult to select any particular style by description. A suit consisting of Polonaise and skirt, which represented black cashmere, elicited considerable attention. The skirt is laid in deep side plaits at the back, which give it an exceedingly graceful appearance.
THE SLEEVES
are cut whole with the body, and the wide revers which pass over the shoulders form side sashes below the waist. It is elaborately trimmed with bows and fringe. Some have apron fronts like an overskirt, with the back and side breadths joined in large plaits or gathers, some button high in the neck others have revers and collars, and are so arranged that they can either be worn open or closed, and others have the Watteau fold, which commences at the back and widens to below the waist.
Wedding Toilets In 1770. Brides and bridegrooms of 1871 may be amused by the description of the toilet of a couple on their wedding day one hundred years ago. To begin with the lady her locks were strained upward in an inmense cushion, that sat like an incubus upon lier head, and plastered over with pomatum, and then sprinkled over with white powder. The height of this tower was somewhat over a foot. One single white rosebud lay on its top, like an eagle on a hay stack. Over her neck and bosom was folded a lace handkerchief, fastened in front with a bosom-pin, rather larger than a copper cent, containing her grandfather's miniature set in virgin gold. She was braced up in a satin dress the sleeves as tight as the natural skin on her arm, with a waist formed by bodice, worn outside, whence the skirt flowed off and was fastened at the top by an ample loop. Shoes of white kid, with peaked toes, and heels of two or three inches elevation, inclosed her feet and glittered with spangles as her little pedal members peeped curiously out. Now for the swain. His hair was sleeked back and plentifully befloured, while his queue irojected like the handle to a skillet,
Jis coat was sky blue silk lined with yellow, his long vest of satin embroidered with gold lace, his breeches of the same material, and tied at the knee with pink ribbons. White silk stockings and pumps with laces and ties of the same hue competed the habiliments of his nether limbs liace ruffles, clustered around the wrist and a portentous frill worked in corres sondence, and bearing the miniature of lis beloved, finished his truly genteel ap pearance.
Uneasy Lies His Head.
('It
is a sorry sight to see the poor
young King mewed up in the great palace all alone, with none so poor as to ao him honor," is the comment of a Madrid correspondent upon the present condition of the unlucky Amadeo. We spoke, the other day, of the forlorn prospect opening before this young monarch but the reality seems to be upon him even sooner than was expected. It now appears that the Spanish nobles turn their backs upon him, and that he is threatened by the knife or bullet of the assassin. He lias attempted to form a Royal Guard, but has not found a sufficient number of officers who will accept commands. He beset on all sides, and probably wishes that he had never aspired to a crown. With the fate of Maximilian before his eyes, Amadeo should have been wiser— for the Peninsula, which was aptly de scribed by Mr. Buckle as a huge mass lying torpid at the extremity of Europe, still possesses vitality enough to breed assassins, and they strike at the highest game. Prim was killed in cold blood Zorilla had a narrow escape and the desolate young King may be the next victim.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Providence Journal comes to the defense of George Washington from tlie imputations against his moral character in the testimony in the Jumel estate case, saying that he made but two visits to that place, the first oil March 15, 1781, on his return from an interview with Rochambeau at Newport, when he was entertained by Lieut. Gov. Jabez Bowen, and received company until a late hour in the evening. The next day he dined at the State House, and in the evening attended a ball given in his honor. The following day he left the town. His second vist was in August. 1790. He came from New York in the packet Hancock, Capt. Brown, and lodged at the "Golden Ball," now the Mansion House, on Benefit street. Here he received company as on the previous visit, and the next morning, accompanied by Gov. Fenner, visited various points of interest about the town. In the afternoon he partook of an entertainment provided at the Court House, in company with about 300 gentlemen, after which he was escorted to the packet in which he arrived, and that evening departed for New ork.
The Highest Vote.
In "The Matfic Flute" Christina Nils* son sings above the staff. The youngest of the sisters Sessi reached the same note. Catalani had the same wonderful compass, but pitched a third lower. The highest on record "is that of Lucretia Ajugari, whom Mozart heard at Parma. With a voice as pure as a flute, she ascended to triple C, trilling on the above. A Madame Becker, who astonished St. Petersburg in 1823, reached the same note by accident.
We find, says the Springfield (111.) Journal, the above in an exchange and will add that tLe highest voice on record is not the one mentioned. Dr. Marx, in his "General Musical Instruction," testifies to having heard a girl o{ twelve years reach the "triplet" or four-lined e, the seventh space above the clef—a major hird above the mentioned—with clearness and purity of intonation and her lowest note was the little e—fourth space below the clef, making a compass of four octaves.
Jenny Lind's highest note was the three-lined /, the same as Nilsson's and Madame Malibran (Garcia) sang/sharp. But it must be remembered that the pitch has risen since the days of those great singers. ...
GENERAL CLEMENT THOMAS, who was shot by order of the Parisian revolutionary tribunal, was one of the ablest and most respected revolutionists in France.
