ii FCBJLJBHKB BY IHI So. street, ErRus-rill.' FKID2Y, DECSKBEil 21, lSGt"" The fjtatc Teachers' Association Will begin at Indianapolis, nest Tuesday evening. Mayor Macauley will rcake tlie address of welcome to the city. TnE Secretary of State is preparing to send out the Senate and House Journals ped Brevier report3 of tho la3t session of the Legislature. They will be sunt before New Years. The State, Board of Agriculture meet3 in annual eioo at Indianapolis, on Tuesday, January 4tb. It is hoped the county societies will all be represented. The Indianapolis Mirror is evi dently spreading its sails to catch the Democratic breeze, with the hope, no doubt, of ultimately supplanting the State Stntinel as the organ of the party. Its articles on Stanton and centralization of power in Congress are worthy the pen of a Democratic whangdoodle. We suspect, however, that the Mirror will not " make the rifHe." The "amateur" editors of the Courier evidently have cot read their own paper. In yesterday's issue they copy a paragraph from lh3 Journal of some days ago, and say tuat it lias not been answered m anyway before now." Thi3 is a fine compliment to the workiDg editor of the Courier who has been flattering him self that he answered the paragraph mentioned, in the issue of the Courier of the 18th int. We ere sorry to learn that the "amateurs" do not re gard the very emphatic expressions of the editor 89 an answer to the para graph hereinbefore mentioned, which seems to have produced an awful buzzing in the Democratic hivo. U. tie amateurs cow assert tbat our statement, that a majority of tho Sun day prosecutions have been against Republican saloon-keeper?, is not cor rect. It is possible that our inform ants were mistaken, but the Courier of the 13th admitted the statement to be correct, and sought to explain the fact as follows: ' Republicans and Democrats have been proseouted in discriminate. The only reason why there have leen more Republicans prosecuted than Democrats is because there are a great many more Republi can tahon-keepers than there are Dem ocrats pursuing this business." It it bo true that there are a great many more Republican saloon-keep ers than Democrats," the amateurs themselves provo that in proportion to the numbers engaged in tho busi ness, tt Iiepublioaua Lave Buffered most at the hands of the Criminal Court. But the main point, and tho only ona of particular interest is, have the bailiffs of our Democratic Sheriff been furnishing the Grand Juries with the names of citizens who visited tie saloons on Sunday ? Will all of Sheriff Miller's bailiffs make affidavit that they havu not furnished any of the Grand Juries with names for the purpose of having indictments procured? No dodging I This is not included in their duties. Their official duties do not require them to visit tho saloons on Sunday for the purpose of taking the names of those who buy beer and then furaish these names to the Grand Jury that they may find bills of indictment. As the principal editor is sick, and in the judgment of the "amateurs," is not equal to the emergency at best, suppose tho latter relieve the public mind on this point. The tributes to Mr. Fessenden yesterday, were, in our regard, as high an honor a3 an American statesman could receive. He had passed through such a storm of popular disfavor as few publio men ever Burvive. Now, in the Ivcry spot where the envenomed conflict raged mo3t bitterly around him, friends and antagonists via with each other in laudinsr the interrity of his character and purity of nia motives. Jnbune, loth. Pshaw! Fessenden was dead and in nobody's way. Had he been alive the "envenomed conflict" would rage around him as bitterly as ever. Congressional culogic3 arc the finest samples of hypocrisy extant. The Alabama correspondence submitted to the Senate in accordance with a resolution of that body, wa3 telegraphed to us last night, but it3 extreme length precludes the possibility of our giving it at length in this morning's Courier. If it is found to be of sufficient interest, we may give it in full hereafter. Courier 23d. The Journal of the eamc date contained the Alabama correspond ence. We make it a point to print the dispatches, be they few or many. Subscribers may depend oa the Journal for the news. Eemarkable Coincidence. The Cincinnati Gazette, which ia wiser and able in its treatment of financial matters than any other Radical organ in the West, if not in the United States, maintains tho position that legal tender notes were, by tho provisions of the law creating the fivetwenty loan, made lawful money for their payment. Holding this opinion, the Gazette must regard the Administration, and especially the Secretary of the Treasury, as doing injustice and foul wrong to the people. Should not its voice of denunciation ring or thunder a good deal louder than it does? Louisville Courier-Journal 2st.

farnilia with the came of IlAEK Twain. As a humorist, he occupies the front rank of American writers. There is a freshness and flavor, in his humor that find nowhere else, and, what is letter than all, he i3 not compelled to resort to bad spelling and misshapen syntax in order to make his humcr attractive. The Innocents Abroad contains graphical pictures seen by the author ia hi3 cele brated excursion in the 6teamship Quaker City to Europe and the Holy Land. The book contains descrip tions of countries, nations, incidents and adventures. It abounds in the ludicrous, and yet is well seasoned with sentiment. Critics have spoken in terms of praise of its merits, aDd we might quote from the leading pa pers of the country until our readers would be weary with the extracts. lnose, nowever, who look upon Mark Iwais somewhat as a gapiBg crowd upon the je3ter of the ring, en tirely misapprehend the man.. His Innocents Abroad is no mere , jestbook. It contains a larga amount of most valuable information, and there are scattered throuch it streams of sentiment which water the eyes and refresh the soul. Our city is now being cmvassed by a lady, who will bo prepared to fur nish as large a number of the books a3 may be desired. Tho book, it will be remembered, is sold only on sub scription. The typography and bind ing oi me dqok are goou, ana can n -1 11 1 hardly fail to give satisfaction. We have room Jor only one ex tract from the book. It is Mabk's meditations while inspecting TUB MAJESTIC STUYNX After years of waiting it was before me at last. Tho great lace was so sad, so earnest, so longing, so patient There was a dignity cot of earth in its mein. and in its countenance a be nignity such as never anything human wore. It was stone, but it seemed sentient. If ever image of s'one thousht. it was thinking. It was lookine toward tho verge of the land scape, yet looking at nothing nothins but distanco and vacan cv. It was .looking over and be yond everything of the present, and far into tho past. It was gazing out over the ocean of Time over lines of century-waves which, further and lur ther receding, closed nearer and nearer together, and blended at last into one unbroken tide, away toward the horizon oi' remote antiquity. It was thinking ot tho wars of departed ages; of the empires it had seen ere ated and destroyed: of tho nations whose birth it had witnessed, whose Drosrress it had watched, whose anni hilation it had noted: of the joy and sorrow, tho life and death, the gran deur and deoiy, or nve thousand slow revolving years. It was the typo of an attribute of man of a faculty of his heart and brain. It was Memory Retrospection wrought into visielo, tangible lorni. All who know what pathos there is in mem ories of days that aro accomplished and faces that havo vanished albeit only a trilling score of ycar3 gone by will have sorno appreciation ot the patho3 that dwells in these grave eyes that look eo steadfastly back upon the thing3 they knew before History was born before Tradition had being thhings that were, and forms that moved, in a vague era which even Poetry an i Romance scarce knew of and pas3ed ono by one away and left the stony dreamer solitary in the midst of a strange now age, and uncomprchended scenes. The Sphynx is grand in its loneliness it is imposing in its magnitude; it is impressive in tho mystery that hangs over it3 Etory. And thero .is that in the overshadowing majesty of this eternal figure of stone, with its accusing memory of the deeds of all ages, which reveals to one something of what he shall feel when he shall stand at last in the awful presenc3 of God. ; Now ilazazlncs. Every Saturday, published by Fields, Osgood & Co., Boston, having ran a very successful course for four years, is to bo made more attractive next year than ever. . Its shape will be modified, without changing its literary character and purpose, so as to have artistic illustrations added to its letter-press that continuing, as before, to inclue tho productions of the ablest foreign writers. The illustrations will consist of engravings from designs by the leading .European artists, chiefly British, and the subjects will be views of famous places, inci dents of travel, figure pieces, copies of celebrated paintings, studies ot street life, and a gallery of portraits of contemporary celebrities. In future, Every Saturday will be the size of Harpers' Weekly sixteen pages imperial folio, printed on fine paper. The present prices will not be increased.

" The Persecuted Woman," a bright littlo story, by E. Elcourt, is given. " The Fairy and tho Ghost," a Christmas tale, by F. R. Stockton, apropos. "Oa Christmas Eve," a meditative poem, by Edgar Fawctt, is equally timely. " Our Capitol," by W. R. Hopper, is a readable article on a current topic. " Sue and I," by W. A. Thompson," iaas fresh and crisp as new lettuce. Lucy Hopper's poem, "ThoSingor," is delicate and descriptive. "The Philosophy of Self Importance," by Edward Spencer, is quaint and racy.1

" Beyond -th Breakers," the t cove!, heinz cublisbed in this magazine, is

continued. Jarne3 Ross fcinowden, wfc"1 has foryears been connected with the Philadelphia Mint, contributes an interesting" article on "International Coinage." GoiEg an Errand," , is the taking title of a clever Christinas story, by an author whose name is withheld. William. Syke'a article on "Literary Lunatics is queer and graphic. The "Monthly Gossip" and "Literature of the day" are lull of pleasant chat on the matters of the day. - . American Sunday School Work er. A new magazine for parents and teacners, published at bt. Louis, by J. W. Mclntyre, at $1 50 per year four months on trial for 50 cents. It has also club rates. . It is designed for all sections and denominations alike.

Our Young Folks begins the sixth year of its publication with a series of attractive and interesting articles from some of the old con tributors, whose very names give rise to pleasant anticipations on the part of the youthful reader. Mrs. Whit ney begins a new etory entitled " We Girls," which will, we trust, prove as great a favorite as Mrs. Aldrich's "Bad Boy," who has courteously given place to a story of the gentler tex. A sketch ot the life ot Prol. Aga?siz is prefaced with a fine steel portrait, and this charming iittla ee rial is throughout enriched wub an unusual number of illustrations. A mere rccanitulatiou of the contents would convey but vague idea of their interest, to the minds of our young readers. To their hands, therefore, we cordially commit the present number or Uur Young locks. Pub lished by Fields, Osgood & Co., Bos ton. The Atlantic Monthly for January opens with a characteristic poem from the pen of James Russell Lowell, whose rare genius and versatility oi talents entitle him to rank among the first of living poets. " The Cathedral " bears the impress of deep thought, and a more serious, meditative mood than has marked many even the more thoughtful of Sir. Lowell's poems. Bayard Taylor contributes the first chapters of "Joseph and His Friends." The "Study of History," by Goldwin Smith, is one of the philosophical lectures upon that subject, recently delivered before the Cornel University. Mr. Whittier tells, in blank verse, the story of " Nauhaught the Deacon." Mr. Higginson's "Americanism in Literature'' expresses an earnest faith in the intellectual culture of the country, and in the use of those Americanisms which are " as marrow in tho bones and blood of the nation." 1. 1. Hayes contributes the second of his articles, " Under the Midnight Sun." Mr. W. D. Uowells writes in a social, chatty veiD, of the old, familiar ride from Cambridge, "By Horse-car to Boston." We welcome the rich and varied contents of the Atlantic for January, and gladly accept it as an earnest of what may bo expected from future numbers during the ensuing year. Fields, Osgood & Co., Boston. Littell's Living Age., for December ISth, contains the usual choice selection of periodical literature. The publishers of this admirable compendium of art, history, romance and sound literature, announce that they wis . send, for nothing, the four numbers of the current month, to all new subscribers. These numbers will contain tho fir3t chapters of two new serials, Anthony Trollope's story of "The Turkish Bath," and the u?wal large amount of valuable historical and scientifio matter. No better holiday present can be found than a subscription receipt to the Living Age lor the coming year. The Riverside Magazine for January loses none of the attractions of last year. Indeed, the little folks will find the number opening the New Year more than usually interesting. We give the contents: John Gilpin's Ride, by Felix O. C. Darley;The Author of "John Gilpin," by Horace E. Scuddcr, with a fortrait of Cowper, after Romney; low the Captain Came by a Legacy, by Yieux Moustache, with an illnslustration by F. O. C.

This brilliant juvenile for January makes its appearance in a new dress, with a new engraved title page on the cover. It claims to have a larger circulation than any other juvenile magazine in the world; and deserves its great pop ularity, both because of its originality and sterling wortn, and because it gives so much for so small a price, only one dollar a year.

piet all through, the year." All who subscribe before t'ru. first of the ycat will receive the, November and Dicsraber numbers of the old year free. Arthur'? Home Magazine still

holds its place among oil competitors. The January number opens-witn a new illustrated title-page and cover, and possesses all the attractions that make a magazine desirable. Once A Month. Many prefer this periodical to all other magazines. It3 stories, original and selected, glow with beauty, excellence and variety, and nevr lail to interest all classes of readers. Children's Hour Another of Arthur's monthlies, which has a large circle of admirers. The children are enthusiastic in its praise, and were it f:o suspend publication, would occa sion them much dissatisfaction. Bishon Simnson savs of it: "I have no hesitation in commending it to the reading public as one of the best magazines published tor children, ana I hope it may have an extensive cir culation. ...... The Clncinnatl Enquirer on X. c. - . Kerr. The Cincinnati Enquirer of the 20th, pitches into Mr. Kerr, of the Second Congressional District, in i rather savage manner, and as the En quirer is the mouth-piece of Pendle ton. its opinions are of some firce It says: The Louisville Courier-Journa takes us to task for criticising th, late financial votes which have been given in Congress by Mr. Kerr, the member irom the New Albany Dis trict. in Indiana. It speaks of him a " one of the purest and most decided as he is one ot the ablest Democrats of that body." Now this exceedingly " decided Democrat tees fit, on vital auesticn. to separate him self lrom tne great mass of his party friends io tbe South and West, ; and to vote in crowd wnicn is led by suca men as Garfield, of Ohio, and which has the support of- the whole bondholding and National Lank nnz. ihe Com ritr-Journal may see nothing wrong in all this, but Democrats generally will think, for a "pure Democrat,' he has fallen in with the worst kind of; associates. The country is suffer idz from a scarcity or money, trade l paralyzed, and industry is depressed To oppose a method ot reliet looking to an increase of monetary facilities is not xactl7 the business lor pure and decided Democrat" to b engaged in. So the reliable Second Congres sional District of this Sate, with it five or six thousand Democratic maioritv. is no loDger represented in Congress by a Democrat. How pad! Mb. Szlvanu3 Coeb is thus relieved from a predicament bv the New York JSun: "We ara glad to learn, on excellent authority, that the statement that Mr. Cobb is in the Boston Inebriate Asylum, is not true. On the contrary, Mr. Cobb is, at the present time, an active and leading member of one of the Boston temperance societies, and he has written more good temperance stories than any mau in the country.
