Mr. Andy Grimes' live stock insurance company was knocked out in court yesterday. However, Mr. Andy Grimes, personally, is not affected. He was vindicated of all charges against him by the senate.

The Democratic organ, the Gazette, and the clique, have said that Jamee Fitzpatrick is the only candidate for treasurer on their ticket. That the clique can nominate him on Saturday beyond doubt—but will the clique refuse to do so? This clique which has ruled Democratic local politics is in the atti tude of being dared. Will it "take dare?"

Judge Mack "socked it to" Miss FerguBon's sweetheart yesterday because Bome one forged a letter in his name, making him confess to a crime, but the lovers, male and female, of Evans, the crook, captured with burglar's tools on his person and indicted for robbing a bank, raised enough money to re-imburse the bank and he went free. There is great deal of whimsicality and perversity in the course of true love and justice.

The clique that ran the Democratic campaign in this county last fall is hesi tating as to carrying out the scheme for the city convention. Two weeks ago the clique was not at all doubtful as to what course it should pursue, but the primaries lost evening informed it that there was a minority opposed to its rule. Now it hesitates because if it does not force through the policy so widely made known the public will justly arrive at the conclusion that it considers itself rebuked by its own party.

THE CITY COUNCIL. •,

The Democracy placed in nomination last evening six candidates for the city council. The party has all of the six hold-over councilmen. The hoJd-overs are: Welsh, Hertwig, Siedentopf, Hybarger, Stefeg and Donham. To supplement this array of municipal solons the •4 party has nominated Atkins, Patton,

Sanderson, Weldele, Casey and Klug. The list of names in itself is not of much reassurance as to to the future policy in our city government, because with one or two exceptions the names are unfamiliar to the general public, but the bed rock fact is that these twelve men, acting by the vote of the majority, are wholly incapable of meeting the emergency now confronting our municipal progress.

With less than four exceptions there is not a man in the list that you would give full authority to manage a business involving $5,000 a year, yet these men are to decide on questions that involve the city's business which runs into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The people of Term Haute are being aroused to the fact that the time has come when men of business capacity must sucrilice their time for the city's good and consent to take municipal offices not as a means of livelihood but to render a service to their fellow-citi-zens. The reckless policy of the city living beyond its means must be stopped and the only way to stop it is to put men in charge of the city's affairs who have some standing in the community besides that of being good fellows on whom the patronage of oftice is to be conferred because they are good fellows. The city's corporation is strictly a business institution, affecting every taxpayer, and it must be conducted on strictly business principles.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Philadelphia Times: If New Jersey can stand up against the big storms on Its seacoast and its legislature at Trenton at the same time, It may be set down as a rock-ribbed state.

Washington Press: The Democratic papers have started In again on a serious discussion of the question: "What Is It that laid us out last November?" It is an edifying debate and we nope 'the brethren will keep it up till the party is "laid out" once more.

Boston Journal: Democrats in the New York legislature are evidently deteriorating. Last year eleven of them had the courage to vote for the Saxon electoral reform bill. This year every Democrat yielded to (iovei nor Hill's lash and voted against the bill.

'WANTED-A GOVERNESS."

Innumerable have been the advertisements inserted with this purport, and multitudinous in their variety the qualifications required from the ladies who feel disposed to offer themselves ae candidates for the position in question, says the London Telegraph. Sometime* it is a hnishing, at other times a nursery, governess who

i's

sought for and in the

last named case it is not uncommon to meet with a bint that the young person desired must be quick at her needle, and have no objection to looking after the wardrobes of her youthful charges. Then there are governesses required who speak French with a purely Parisian accent, and others who must be thoroughly mistresses of German acquired in Hanover. Music, of course, a desideratum in most every instance, and occasionally the instructress is expected to teach 'drawing. More rarely, governesses skilled in the higher mathematics or versed in the dead languages are advertised for but these learned ladies seem to be more in request for schools thaa for private families. So feverish, however, is modern life, and into so man.y channels does modern thought divert- itself, that there wopld be scant matter for astonishment in an advertisement asking for a governess who believed in ghosts, for another who was a Swedenborgian, or for a third who was a NeoBudhistor an Agnostic while parents whose sympathies were 'more in the direction of physical than intellectual exercises might demand a preceptress who combined proficiency in massage with the usual branches of a solid English education, or who did not object to teaching fencing twice a week and the banjo on Saturdays. Hitherto it does not seem to have occurred to any parent or guardian to advertise for a resident governess for three young ladies who did not choose to be taught, bat who elected to conduct their own studirs. Such an extraordinary presentment of the attributes of a governess would seem, nevertheless, to be within the domain of possibility, if we are to judge from a remarkable case just tried before the lord chief justice of England. The plaintiff was a young lady fulfilling the not altogether thankful position of a teacher of youth, and the defendant waS a widow living at Grimsby, in Lincolnshire, who had three daughters of the respective ages of 16,17 and 20, and who bore the fascinating christian names of Gwendoline, Sylvia and Millicent. The young lady was duly engaged to smooth the thorny path of knowledge for these interesting maidens but when she arrived at the mansion of her employer she was not favored with an interview by the widow, who, it would appear, was not partial to the conversation of strangers.

The governess, however, saw the three young ladies, who, according to her showing, told her that they were accuetomed to do as they liked, and to arrange their studies in their own manner. The plaintiff, moreover, averred that her pupils with the picturesque names laughed and made a mock at her, from which she was induced to infer that they were not well disposed toward governesses. Who, indeed, at sweet 16, sentimental 17 and blooming 20 cares very much about having to say lessons and be bidden to. "behave" by a member of their own sex not many years their senior. It is true that they might have dissembled their love— or their dislike—but the plaintiff declared that they made rude and insulting remarks to her, and plainly told her that she had not been used to live with ladies. Things altogether at the Lincolnshire mansion did not seem to go on precisely as in a happy valley in fact, if the plaintiff's statement is to be accepted, she was made very unwillingly to perform practically the leading part in a farce to which the title of "The World Turned Upside Down" might have been given. She stated that the young ladies, who were supposed to be under her government, sent their young governess to bed at 10 o'clock, and told her next morning when she entered the library that she was not to come again until she was sent for. That same night, being again politely packed off to bed, she awoke with a feeling of suffocation, and found a sulphorous flame, accompanied by much smoke, burning in the grate, and, as her bed-room door was locked, she jumped to the conclusion that some malevolent person had thrown brimstone down the chimney. She was also under the impression that the windows of her room had been nailed down. The young ladies continued to decline receiving any instructions at her hands, and the next time she retired to rest she found that the key to her room had disappeared. On the following morning, while she was lying in bed, she received a douche of what iB colloquially known as "cold pig," a quantity of water having been thrown over her by some invisible practical joker, who possibly may have been actuated by a desire to combine rollicking fun with an endeavor to convert the "new governess" to the doctrine of Sir Wilfrid Lawson. As it happened, however, the governess failed to see the joke. She wrote to her employer, giving a month's notice to leave, but this intimation elicited no reply. Then she announced her intention to leave at once, claiming a month's salary and her traveling expenses. No written answer was returned to this, but she received through a servant a message that Bhe could have a carriage to take her to the station, and in addition there was handed to her the sum of 5s. The young lady teacher had by this time got into her head the curious notion that she had been cruelly outraged and insulted, and she finally wrote a third letter, not only claiming her month's salary and her traveling expenses, but also compensation for what she thought to be unwarrantable treatment. Subsequently she' brought two actions in the Grimsby county court—one against her quondam employer for her month's salary, which was not disputed, and for which she obtained judgment, and another against the widow and her three daughters, for the alleged insults and maltreatment. Obviously the plaintiff was unable to bring home the responsibility for the sulphur and the "cold pig" outrages to any particular person. She could only call one of the maid-servants, who had found the governess' bed saturated with water, and who incidentally observed that in the course of nine years the widow had had six governesses. Another female domestic, who had been roused by the startled governess on the memorable night when the blue fire threw its lambent glare from the grate, said that the chimney certainly smoked, and the window was somehow fixed, but that she did not observe any particular smell. Moreover, the widow and her three daughters were called as witnesses, and denied emphatically that they knew anything about the brimstone and "cold pig" incidents.

In summing up the case, the Grimsby

county court ruled that there waa no evidence of an aaaault having been committed by any of the defendants, upon which the plaintiff's council substituted a claim against the mother for breach of her implied contract to protect the young lady from ill-treatment while she waa in her service and an inmate in her house. His honor told the jury that the governess' story as to the smoke and the eold water was in every way worthy of belief, and that she had suffered "strange things" while she waa in the house, although there was no testimony to fix culpability on any particular person but that, on the other hand, the plaintiff had complained to her employer of her general ill-treatment, and that the latter had made no inquiries, and had not even designed to answer the young lady's lettere of remonstrance. Upon this the jury gave the plaintiff a verdict with £50 damages but from this judgment the widow appealed to the court above. Her counsel on Thursday urged that there was no implied contract on her part to protect the governess from ill treatment,, and that, being herself out of health and accustomed to lead a secluded life, she was not bound to see her governess or listen to what she had to say. Lord Coleridge held that there had been a mistake on the part of the county court judge in withdrawing the cause of action against the three young ladies and substituting one against the mother, in support of which, no evidence had been adduced. His lordship's judgment was consequently in favor of the appellant, the widow, and in this decision Mr. Justice Hawkins concurred. It seems to be open to the poor young governess to bring an action against her former pupils, the three young ladies with the romantic names but possibly she has had by this time quite enough of law and the glorious uncertainties thereof. As to her having been somewhat uncivilly, if not outrageously, treated by the three young ladies, there would not appear to be any reasonable doubt but the phenomenon of a nocturnal irruption of blue fire, and the matutinal cascade of "cold pig," can only be considered as within the investigating province of the Psychical society. The mysteries of the Cock-lane Ghost and the Drummer of Tedworth have already been unraveled and an appeal to the spiritsvperchance, might enlighten the public as to who tried to smother a governess with sulphur, and whosoussd her with cold water. It is finally to be regretted, for the sake of peace and quietness, that the governess was not told before she was engaged that her pupils did not intend to profit by her tuition or to obey her directions. "Wanted, a Companion," or a playmate, or a chaperon, or a butt, would have been under the circumstances, a more reasonable announcement than "Wanted, a Governess."

The Persian KiW*r Mak* Marry Jar

Chang Yen Hoon, the ablest minister China has ever sent to the United States, ia going home. He has been here three years, and moat of his time has been taken up in learning Engliah. He ia (me of the richest men in the empire, and on his return to China will be made governor of one of the leading provinces. The minister gave a farewell banquet. The Persian ipinistor enjoyed himself immensely and afforded much entertainment to the rest of the company. Most of the scintillationa of the evening came from him. Observing that two guests neglected their snipe in order to carry on their conversation, and that a servant was waiting to take the plates away, he said, facetiously: "You not eat the bird, the bird fly away."

He insisted on talking English, although he knew French perfectly, and his neighbora understood French. He said in explaining his preference: "I am American. I have beautiful girl, very beautiful girl she teach me English long time. I speak English very.good."

In addition to this he explained that he understood English because he had been in England. He was asked howlong he waa there and said eight hours. "Plenty, too much," he added.

At the close of the dinner he said to. ah American who had been laughing and talking all through the dinner: "You not American. American have long face, sit up straight^ say nothing like them," pointing to a group of senators and cabinet officers, who hwl eaten their way steadily through their menu without looking to the right or to the left or exchanging a word with anybody, in some oases because their neighbors spoke no English.

After dinner, in the smoking-room, the ministers from China, Japan and Core a, who can not understand each other's spoken languages, carried on a threecornered conversation with pens and papers, for their written language is identical.

amusements.

Prof. Bristrol's fine trained horses give a remarkable performance every evening. They enter into the most difficult performances with a zest that seems to indicate enjoyment. For instance, in the see-saw act, where the three animals frequently whirl around on their narrow perch and risk a fall, or in Denver's funny and wonderful teeter solo. If Denver does not enjoy himself and have lots of fun, appearances are deceitful. He is mere droll than many a clown. It is to be hoped that the four-footed performers understand and appreciate the liberal applause which their intelligent feats so often win. There are about thirty different performances on the programme.which calls for almost every variety of equine talent. There will be two performances to-day and to-morrow, the matinees beginning at 2:30, all of which merit generous patronage.

The Gibney-Gordon & Gibler comedy company, said to be one of the best "popular prices" companies traveling, will appear at Naylor's the week commencing Monday, April 22d. They carry their own band and orchestra Land several good specialty people.
