The Governor and Mrs. Porter received their friends in the most affable manner, having a good word for evory one. The Governor never appeared to better advantage and Mrs Porter made a very favorable impression upon all. Refreshments were served by attentive waiters and those dis-posed triped the light fantastic toe to the strains of sweet muisc. Several colored ladies and gentlemen were among the callers. The occasion was indeed a very pleasant celebration of the marriage and introduction into office of one Indianas best and most popular citizens. 11'Klt ftehool Notes.

A Daring Daylight Robbery. A bold theft was committed on the corner of Illinois and Walnut streets, yesterday afternoon, which came near involving the los, to a lady, of a considerable sum of money. 3Hsü Mollie Lotte, a resident of Rush County, boarding at No. 81 East Vermont street, who U here under medical treatment for partial defne.ss, was passing down the street toward her boarding place, when a colored boy snatched from her hand a purse, containing $3,500 in United States bonds, a $1,700 check, $3 in cash and other valuables. She immediately gave the alarm and attracted the attention of a colored man whom she informed of her low, itointing out the direction the miscreant had taken. He gave chase and followed the boy west as far aa West street, where he ran acrohs two iolice ofticers and put them on the track of the thief. The officers succeeded in capturing the boy after a sharp chase. He gave his name at the Central Station as Burt Artes, and is represented tobe an old offender. LetUlatlv Note.

The Legislature could not have selected two gentlemen better qualified to dweharge the duties of ehif clerks than 31esrp. Nixon and Rilev. The Democratic members of the General Assembly show a slight inclination to pile up expenses. They are doubtless trying to fix up an ''issun" upon which "to go before the people."

HKLIUIOUS aSD LITfeKtRT, Rv. T. II. Mansou, of Jone' Tabernacle has been conducting a revival the past week, at his church, to large congregations. We are told that the greatest difficulty that the posters of our Beveral churches have to contend with in conducting thiir revival., is the lack of religious warmth and active cooperation from the members of the cnurc.h, which should not be, to injure great results. The einnere, "the lookers-on in Vienna," are certain to watch the "caints" of the church, and if they feein cold and indifferent, what can be expected from the bad people?

Indianapolis Sentinel.) One day last week the writer gladly embraced his first opportunity to visit the House of the Good Sherherd,and took passage in the White 3Iaria, the legal name of Captain Forbes' vehicle, dedicated to the purpose of transferring prisoners from the city to this institution. The management of this charitable institution is so far removed from politics that one may express the utmost faith in it without fear of incurring the imputation of social gluttony. While a prison, lis spirit is wholly reformatory, and confinement there, is regarded with dread only by such unfortunate and misguided women as would not be saved from themselves. Pope wrote with Inspiration full upon him: Vice Is a moubter of such hideous meiu. That to be hated needs but to be seen ; Though seen too oft, familiar with il face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace. A large per cent, of the female votaries are not only reconciled, but in love with their vicious surroundings. No sort of education has ever elevated them, and from infancy, perhaj, they have been accustomed to brutal associate. The idea of a higher Elane of life maj' never cave entered their eads. Closed to them iH every avenue that does noi lead to what is known as the slums. "There are but passing few men," a philosophical woman has observed, "capable of an unselfish friendship for woman." If rhe is without friends among her own sex, she is friendless. As social statics are at prent, but few ladies feel called upon to do the duty that broad views upon the subject would indicate. The individual woman may be developed far above it, but the Pharisaical doctrine, "I am holier than thou," is to society as inexorable as the laws of the Medes and Persian. The fallen of the sex realize this, and to avoid the presence of contempt as well as to find sympathy, they seek kindred associates where their imperfections are accepted without protest. But this age, however much we may inveigh against its insincerity, and charlatanism, is characterized, as evidenced by these charitable institutions, by a wider and deeper sens; of Christianity than was ever known to the world before. With all of God's creatures this is true: There's not a night so dark, but morn will come; There's not a grief so great, but joy'll succed It; There's not a soul so lost, but there is some Bright cord of love, by which the Lord inav lead it. The House of the flood Shepherd is accomplishing glorious results. Mayor Caven is often solicited by women acquainted with the institution, by having served a sentence, to interpose for their readmission. One woman, whose intelligence and candor were such as to attract particular attention, said to him: "I have tried to live proper, but my husband treat me very badly, and the neighborhood in which we rent is immoral and vicious. Finding it impossible with these associations to be as I should be, I ask again to betaken to the Sisters." A large number of inmates, no longer prisoners, have the same history. The good work is shown to-the authorities in the decrease of this character of crime. The number of arrests is not near so great as before it was established. The White Maria, upon the occasion of the visit, contained two prisoners, one of whom had been there before. The soot of the city was upon their faces, and the effects of the debauch for which they had been condemned yet lingered in their swollen eyes. The girl familiar with the institution got brighter as the vehicle n eared its destination. "The Sisters will know ine," she said. "They are real kind-luarted old ladies, but there is no nonsense about them. When I was out there before I got to liking the house and place real well, and I was not a bit glad when my time was out." "What did you have to do?" asked the other girl, "They put me in the laundry. That is my trade. I ought to have stuck to it. A person never makes anything by quitting their trade," she replied, with the gravity of a philosopher, but concluded with the sigh of a woman. "Did you have to work very hard?" "O, no, the work is not disagreeably hard just enough to give one an appetite." "Do they set a pretty good table?" asked the strange girl, with the air of a traveler inquiring for the best hotel. "Yes," was the reply, "it is perfectly splendid as good as you will get any place. And everything is so orderly and regular. 0, it is no bad place to live by any manner of means." Five of us ascended the stepsCaptain Forbes, an olticer, the two prisoners and the writer. The door opened in response to a bell, and we were received by a kind-faced woman in the habit of the order. She directed the gentlemen to a neat, cozy sitting-room, and asked the prisoners to follow her. There was a partition f latticework upon one side of this room. We had not long remained sitting before an older and very courtly-looking woman came through a door that opened into the latticework. We were presented to her by Captain Forbes. She was the Mother Superior. High positions, either in Church or State, seem conducive not only to longevity, but fine presence. The writer has never looked upon a distinguished ecclesiastic or member ot a royal family, either male or female, who were not healthy specimens of humanity. The royalty consists of the Emperor William, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Germany, Prince Albert, Prince and Princess of Wales, the late Senor Victoria, San Pablo and his squaw. Captain Forbes informed the Mother Su jerior that the gentlemen who accompanied him desired to Took at the house a request she appeared verv ready to grant. A description of this will be brief. Everybodj appeared cheerful, and everything was scrupulously clean. The polished whiteness of the carpetless floors suggested to the writer that he was no longer in America, and he asked of the Mother Superior, "Are you German?" Her answer was, "No, sir; I am English." Although there was snow without, everything was sunny and pleasant within. Even the women at work in the wash-room amid the steam and white flecks of suds were singing merrily. This was strange to the writer, for during the generation to which he properly belongs wash day was attended with serious results in the way of an irritable temper, noodle soup for dinner and no questions asked. There are no unruly characters in the institution at this time." The Mother Superior said that the hardest subjects with whom she had had to deal were colored girls. They were so accustomed to taking and receiving blows that they were perfectly incorrigible. They were incapable of appreciating any kindness, and she had to request the Mayor to send them elsewhere. The only punishment here is to inclose in a dark room. This, with the class of prisoners accepted now, never fails to subdue, though formerly the Marshal and his Deputy were frequently summoned. The prisoners have come to know that if they outrage the discipline at the House of the Good Shepherd a dungeon at the Station House yawns to receive them. The moral effect of this has been excellent. The cost to the city for prisoners at this institution is not half as much as board at the County Jail. The Sisters keep cows, make much of the butter consumed at the House, and have still other economic resource. The family at present consumes three barrels of flour per week. This is baked in great generous loaves that would do honor to any establishment in the city. The officials of Indianapolis are justly proud of the House of the Good Shepherd. Of all the Charitable or Christian Institutions it is one of the most creditable to our civilization. JAMES BOOAIIT, TRUNK MANUFACTURER S3 W. Washington St.. Bates llotel, IND'ANATOLIS.
