TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA.

Wednesday Morning, May 81, 1871.

The

easy process of reasoning that "under the •New Departure Platform the Radicals ifiay go on committing excesses against the peace and welfare of the country only to be followed f'.v 'indorsing resolutions of such conduct by

Monday, the Citizens' Building and Loan Association, of Union^ City filed articles of association with the Secretary of State for the transaction of business at Union City, Randolph county. The capital stock is placed at $100,000, divided into 500 shares of $200 each, of which 276 shares, or $55,200 are subscribed by fifty-two persons, signed as stockholders. The existence of the association is limited to eight years.

Indianapolis News truthfully re

mark that the difference in nations was never better illustrated than by a comparison of the manner the Versaillists treat the insurgents and the way the North treated the South at lha close of the rebellion. The one was human, the other is brutal. The Communists de served punishment and their leaders deserved death, but a miscellaneous, indiscriminate slaughter such as they seemed to have indulged in is worthy only of savages. The only consolation is in the thought that the people killed were of I lip same kind.

months ago we reproduced from

the Boston Times the substance of a report made by an Englishman of adulterations of tea, showing that the most barefaced swindling was inflicted on the lovers of that universally used beverage. The stories appeared rather exaggerated in some particulars, but since that time analyses have proved them in the main correct. The adulterations referred to were generally managed by Europeans, but it now appears that the Asiatics have the knack of their example.

'cute at imitation and sometimes can step in advance of his teachers and lessons for now it is announced on excellent authority that more than half a million pounds of willow leaf were made up at Shanghai last season, and palmed off as green tea. The willow leaf as prepared cannot be distinguished from green tea by the eye but to cover the difference in taste, it has to be mixed with tea before sold. It can be produced at a cost of about four cents a pound, and can be used in the proportion of twenty to forty per cent, of the whole mixture—so that it is easily seen what a profit the "little game" can be made to represent to the seller.

George Sand's New Novel.This is an entire new'book by this celebrated author, and will prove to be very popular, and must have a large sale, for George Sand's style is noble, and beautifully rich and pure. She has an exuberant imagination, and with it a very chaste style of expression. She never indulges in declamation, yet her sentences are exquisitely melodious and full. She leaves you at the end of one of her brief, rich, melancholy sentences, with plenty of food for future cogitation. No one cun express the charm of them they seem like the sound of country bells falling sweetly and sadly upon the ear There hardly a woman's heart in the civilized world which has not felt the vibration of George Sand's thrilling voice. She yearns to do good. The popularity of her novels. "Consuelo, a love story," "The Countess of Rudolstadt," a sequel to ''Con3uelo," "Jealousy," "Indiana," "Simon," "Fanchon the Cricket," ''First and True Love," "the Corsair," "The Last Aldini," etc., have never been equaled by any writer. "Simon, a Love Story," is i.ssued in a largo octavo volume, with a portrait of the author on the cover, price Fifty cents, and is for sale by all Bookseller's or copies will be sent to any one, post-paid, by the Publishers, on receipt of price by them.

course. Mr. Vallandigham and his co-political sbemers will have no trouble in acquiescing in and endorsing the Ku Klux Bill. We shall expect that to come before the Presidential campaign is fairly opened.—Journal.

Certainly. Whoever indorses the amendments must indorse such legislation as is necessary to make them effective, and of this class is the Ku Klux act.

The Republican Party Mainly Composed of Workingmen. The great majority of the people of the United States, who are toilers with brain and hand, are particularly interested in the maintenance of our Government. The Republican party, under whose leadership the Governm«nt is now moving, is composed almost exclusively of laboring men in the North and West its stronghold is among the farmers and mechanics of the villages, and in the South its most enthusiastic supporters are the recently emancipated slaves. Thus the separate interests of the workingmen are safe in its keeping for while we have an abundant number of laborers, we have, thank God, no laboring class—no hereditary casteMen may be engaged either in physical or mental labors, or in any particular branch thereof, during their whole life, out it is entirely voluntary, and many of them change from one to the other as it may to them seem best.—Phil. Press.

Charles Fox once received a severe lecture about his extravagance from his father, who concluded by saying he wondered his son could enjoy a moment's repose when he considered the immense sums he owed.

If he had been brought before a New York Judge, he must inevitably, with his political influence, have escaped, and the Boston Courts could not have held him in heavy bail to answer for his alleged offenses. "We deprecate"—the Iribune says—"the illegal act of the Boston policemen it was without warrant, and if repeated may prove a great outrage and injustice but we have to blame ourselves. The practices of Tammany politicians and police have rendered kidnapping of a certain class of criminals necessary to the enforcement elsewhere of that jiutice which cannot be obtained here."

More About Jnnins.

In the April number of the London Quarterly Review appeared an extensive eulogistic notice of a book, then in press which was to demonstrate beyond cavi the identity of

Sir PhilipFrancis

and

the mysterious Junius. People had for gotton that some twenty years previous the same excellent authority had maintained at great length, and with much briliancy, the utter absurdity of supposing for a moment that

Sir Philip

could

have been Junius or if remembering something of this, were disposed to believe that the forthcoming book present' ed new evidence of sufficent weight to justify so radical a conversion. And so, throughout the civilized world, the press took up the refrain, and showered^iraises upon the work that had so given a local habitation and a name to the Mighty Unknown.

That work is now before the public, and there is a studied silence in critical places that bespeaks an enthusiasm cooled, and a fear that their judgment may have been a litte rash. It appears that the publisher of the aforesaid work and the aforesaid Review are one and the same person—to-wit: Mr.

John Murray,—

and some way the idea of a commercial "puff' inevitably suggests itself. It appears that the anonymous note and piece of poetry which were so to settle everything are nothing new, after all, but have been before the public for fifty-five years. It appears by no means certain that they are the production of

Sir Philip Francis

it appears far less certain that they are the work of Junius and, lastly, we find that the Review was not very explicit in stating that this anonymous note was "in the handwriting of Junius." It is sim ply, in the opinion of one expert, writing which presents features characteristic of the Junian hand.

We are, then, so far as the identity of Junius is concerned, just where we have been lor the past sixty years. We can enjoy as brilliant sarcasm and graceful diction, and, for all we know to the contrary, console ourselves, as did King George

and the Duke of Bedford,|that he

was the Devil himself. Those who care to examine the subject further will find an able and exhaustive review of it in the London Athenceum of May 6th, which is new before American readers, and a second paper in the issue of May 13th, which has not yet arrived Cm. Times and Chronicle.

NIGHT OF TERROR,

The Two Living Eyes in the Picture.

The following carious adventure happened in Bath, in the ytar 179-, and tne lady who narrated it to the writer was in

It was in the palmy days of Bath, when that now fallen city rivalled London in brilliancy and dissipation, and when the rich, the gay, the high born of England congregated there in season and graced the balls and assemblies.

Mrs. R—, once the belle of the court of George III., but at this period -gradually retiring from general society, possessed one of the largest of the old houses, and gave in it entertainments which were the the most popular of the day. She was celebrated for three things (once for four, but in the fourth—her beauty—was one of the days gone( these things were her fascination,her benevolence, and a—set of the most matchless amethysts._

Her house contained tapestried chambers. The walls of the one in which she slept were hung around with designs from heathen mythology, and the finest piece in the room was that which hung over the dressing table. It represented Phoebus driving the chariot of the sun. The figures* and horses being life size, it filled up the whole space between the two windows and the horses were concealed behind the high, old-fashion' ed Venetian looking-glass while PhcebuB himself, six feet high, looked down by night and by day upon his mistress at her toilet.

One evening Mrs. R— had an unusually large party at home. She wore all her amethysts. On retiring to her room about four o'clock in the morning, she took off all her jewels, laid them on the table, and dismissing the weary maid, intended to put them away herself, bat before doing so knelt down, as usual, to her prayers. While engaged in her devotions it was a habit with her to look upward, and the face of Phoebus was generally her point of sight, as it were, and the object on which her eyes most easily rested.

On this particular night, as usual, she raised her eyes to Phoebus. What does she see! Has Pygmalion been here at work? Has he filled these dull silk eyes with vital fire? Or is she dreaming? No! Possessed naturally ot wonderful courage ond calmness, she continued to move her lips as if in silent prayer, and never once withdrew her gaze, and still the eyes looked down on hers. The light of her candle shone distinctly on liquid, living orbs, and her good, keen sight enabled her, after a cleverly managed scrutiny, to see that the tapestry eye# of Phoebus had been cut out, and tliat, with her door locked, and the ser vants in bed in their distant apartments, and all her jewels spread out before herShe was not alone in her room.

She concluded her prayers with her face hidden in her hands. We can all well imagine what those last prayers must have been. She knew there was sonve one behind that tapestry she knew that the bells and screams were equally useless, and she lay down in her bed as usual and awaited the issue, her only omission being that she did not put away her jewels. ''They may save my life," she said to heaself, and she closed her eyes.

The clock struck five before a sound was heard, and then the moment arrived. She heard a' rustle, a descent from behind the tapestry, and a man stood at her dressing table. He took of his coat, and one by one he secured the jewels beneath his waistcoat. What would be his next move? Would it be to her bedside, or to the door, of» window? He turned and approached her bedside but by that time she had seen enough, and, again closing her eyes, she resigned herself to the Providence whose protection she had just been craving. The man was her own coachman.

Apparently satisfied by a brief glance under his dark lantern that he had not disturbed her, he quietly unlocked her door and left her. For two hours—they must have seemed two days—she allowed the house to remain unalarmed her only movement had been to relock the door which her living Phoebus had left ajaJ. At seven in the morning she rang her bell, and ordered the carriage round immediately after breakfast. All this wa3 according to her usual habits' On the box was a man who had cost her a night's rest and most probably all her jewels. However, she drove off she went straight to the house of a magistrate. "Seize my coachman," said she—"se«ure him and search him. I have been robbed, and I can hardly think he has had time to disencumber himself of the jewels he has taken from me."

She was obeyed, and she was right the amethysts were still about him, and he gave himself upwithot a struggle. All he said was, "I wish now I had killed her —I meant to do it—only she was so good I hadn't the heart.',

It was mo3t probable that after this exciting episode the tapestry of the bedchamber was remorselessly condemned, and the eyeless Phoebus was consigned to oblivion.

S to

How I well recall the bleak winter evening in 1842 when I first saw the handsome, glowing face of the young man who was even then famous over half the globe! He came bounding into the Tremont House, fresh from the steamer that had brought him to our shores, and his cheery voice rang through the hall as he gave a quick glance at the new scenes opening upon him in a strange land on first arriving at a Transatlantic hotel. "Here we are!" he shouted, as the lights burst upon the merry party just entering the house, and several gentleman came forward to greet him. Ah, how happy and buoyant he was then! Young, handsome, almost worshipped for his genius, •belted round by such troops of friends as rarely ever man had, coming to a new country to make new conquests of fame and honor—surely it was a sight long to be remembered and never wholly to be forgotten. The splendor of his endowments and the personal interest it had won to himself called forth all the enthusiasm of old and young America, and I am glad to have been among the first to witness his arrival. You ask me what was his appearance as he ran, or rather flew up the steps of the hotel, and sprang into the hall. He seemed all on fire with curiosity, and alive as I never saw mortal before. From top to toe every fibre of his body was unrestrained and alert, What vigor, what keenness, what freshness of spirit possessed him! He laughed all over, and did not care who heard him. He seemed like the Emperor of Cheerfulness on a cruise of pleasure, determined to conquer a realm or two of f'in every hour of his overflowing exist •nee.—James I. Fields in the Atlantic Monthly.

Such "a rattling among the dry bones" of the old High-priced Dry Ooods Stores, as when p-v upon Wejlftesday, April 26, we bro,ke thp pric. of thej^st yard-wide j,

tnd 1-2 cfe per Yard.

The members of "THE RING" were struck dumb with amassment. hours they1 hardly had courage enough to say their souls were their own. refused to believe it to be true, but when they found.ft really wo* a fact, the ranised effort to get these goods out of our hands by buying them of us. nioer little game of theirs by refusing to sell more than twenty-five yardB at a time to any oaie customer, which rule.has enabled us to place these goods in the hands of our customers, for wh6m they were intended. The nows of this,

The Boldest of all our Attacks on the Cotton Market

Has spread far and wide, and New York, Philadelphia and Chicago Merchants have all acknowledged themselvesttBt-done and undersold. Not even "the Poll Parrots of the Terre Haute Dry Goods Trade" nave attempted to follow us in this new onslaught of ours upon high prices. They have thus, one ana all of them, acknowledged before all the people of Terre Haute and of the surrounding country, that they give over the contest, and admit that

THEY CANNOT COMPETE WITH OVIt PRICES

We invite the people to note that fact. Heretofore certain of tho old stores havo always pretended to follow ns in whatever reductions we have made in the prices of goods. It is true they have never been first to make any of these reductions, and that they have never even irofessed to sell cheaper than we, still they have always claimed to follow us whenever we tave put down the prices on any portion of our stook. Sometimes they have really done o, when the articles reduced were such as their oustomers were acquainted with and would be apt to detect them should they charge more for these goods than our advertised prices. However, upon Dress Ooods. Shawls, Cassimeres, Carpets, Parasols. &c.,!they argue that their customers will not find them out even if they do charge more than we and so upon these goods they months ago gmve tip mil attempts at competing with us. But now it seems that even upon roods so well known as Hills and Lonsdale Muslins, they persist in charging their customers 17c and 18o a yard, while toe have for iteelss been telling them for 12%c, having sold many thousands of yards at that price. They even tell their customers that they cannot

buy these goods for what we tell them for, tho thoughtlessly proving true what we have lonp asserted and they have long denied, namely: Thathaving five stores all doing an immense business, tee buy so largely ms often to enable us to sell goods at loiter prices thnn other stores can buy them. Thus as the month8go by, our enemies themselves are reluctantly forced to bear testimony to our fidelity to the people who have ever stool by us through evil and through good report.
