Five hundred yards of carpet cover the floor; the ground is scarlet, with yellow, white and black figures. It isnot unlike the Turkish carpet presented three year3 ago by the sultan. Tbta was iiideous and uneven, but very thick and soft. The furniture is of gray rep, with claret fariirgs, edged with a Roman cord. The lace curtains are very handsome, and also the rep curtains gray with deep claret border, on which are yellow and t!ai medallions; the cords are lloman, the linings yellow.

In a sermon at Tlymonth church last Sunday night, Mr. Bescher, preaching against the formCities of religion, said: 44 It is better that men should Siave one day in seven for a paese In the wearying pursuits of lite, but it is x.ot necessary to Christianity, lie who can make manhood without instruments should do so. If a man cannot go without crctthes of course ho should not despise crashes. If he cxn get along as a Christian withont rule, creeds, and cUechisms, it is his liberty to Co so. As a general thing I wppose the churches do good to nrcn, for in almost everything coalescence is helpful; bat men conte into churches to find "themselves bound by ordinances and ebl3gatieas tied with -a string iiere and eaother string there, ndround a out with a web thtt binds them down, thinks for them, tokos away their responsibility, and makes of them spiritual eunuchs.

THE SIIELTSYVILLE CRCSADE. THE WOMEN'S :RETLY. TO THE SALOON AXD "WHAT IAV COME OF IT HOW TUET- PREVAIL AOA1ÜST TUR COHEItTS OF SIN. Kiwn a Be;ulr Coric ?iou'K-ni of Tiie Svotinel. J , SiTiaxvviLLE, Feb. 12, 1674. Yesterday afternoon the ladies, to the number of 2S, made a " forward movement" Irom tho Methodist church, for. the first tiüie ior nearly a week. iDurirg the Interim, however, they'conlinued to hold prayer meetings at tho church every afternoon. They sallied forth, two by two, and visited tiie liquor saloon of Georg9 Deprez. George had evidently ben anticipating a visit from the ' allianue," as lie was observed standing in his door way taking obser.ations and looking ;iu tho direction of the church. The ladies upon artiving at the saloon, were duly admi.'ted by "gentlemanly George," and remained . iu his establihuieiit for probably a hall hour, engaged . in Kin;zini and prayer. (Jeorgo did not . . . .. .11. 1 join in the liquor seucr' "ujanuosio; consequently, the ladies bed lair sailinji there. W learn that (ieorge has said that the lalies' visits to his saloon had increased hi buiiiss that as soon as they take their departure customers rush in to ascertain w hat was said aud done, and thou 4set 'em up" all round. It. is also rejorted that George has said that if the "allianco" would give him twenty thousand dollars and fifteen oents a "drink" for his liquor, ho would sell out to them. If this be so, George certainly has some "r peculation in his eye.r' We fear that he is a long viny from convemou yet. From Deprez's the ladies proceeded to Captain Maize's. Tho captain hitherto has had th-j reputation of keeping the "lowest dodgery" in Sholbyvilie. It has been looked upon as a regular rendezvous for blacklegs, pimps, and blear-eyed whisky bloat3. The captain has not been selling under a "permit," but has a government license only. It is tb.9 general impression that he ia constantly violating the law, and could easily be "closed up" if the proper machinery were set in motion. Tne captain has uniformly shown the ladies great courtesy, and has opened his doors to them at every visit. THE LADIES WERE C0RDIALDT RECEIVED. They went into his establishment and held devotional exercises for a half hour. The captain has very little stock on hand, and that is of the "ret gut" order, lie has given out that he intended vto quit the business shortly, and o ont on the frontier with Captain lleniy Ensley, who has recently received an appointment by the government as an indiau supply agnt. After the exercises were ovrr at Maize's, the ladies returned to tfcw Methodist church. Iu a short time, committees composed of two ladies each, visited the saloon of those who had signed themauiiesto,"' set forth in my last letter, and presented the proprietors thereof with the voluminous reply thereto which appeared in the Sentfursl of ".Friday. This roply of tho alliance is, undoubtedly, an argumentum ad honiinemto the liquor men, and is hard, to meet. They will probably plead by way of confe-fion and avoidance. Mrs. Jeffries and Mrs. IVhito conveyed the formidable document to the liquor establishment of Silas Metzger. Here they encountered Mary, Silas' "better half," with whom they held a brief conference: Mrs. Jeffries endeavored to persuade her to forsake the traffiic.and engage in some more honorable avocation in lite such, for itstance. as the millinery business, or something oi that sort. Bet Mary couVfin't see it in that light, but told her that she intended to continue the business as long as she could get a permit to do so that she was doing a legitimate business, and didn't want to be interfered with, tc, tc. Wre understand that the Presbyterian and Baptist churches have again been iivited to join the crusade. They not having hitherto participated, with the exception of a few individual members of said organizations. Whether they will aeoejit the invitation or not. remains to be seen.

People ara coming from the country to attend the exercises iu wagon loads, and as tho lad.ies move irom one point to another, tkey d rive their vehicles. They commenced at the usual place of worship this morning piotnp t at half pat eight o'clock At 11 urgent request from the committee, the business ruen generally closed their business houses duriryr that liour and attended, consequently we bad a crowded house. The regular routine 1 worship was aitended to, then there was a stock company of our citizens firmed, and akoutton thousand dollars taken on the spot. Messrs. Hoguo, Griffith, aud Irwin leading off with one thousand each. They Wieb to increase the stock to thirty thousand, making She neat little suiu of twelve bttndred dollars to prosecute those violating the Baxter l aw. Then the ladies accomplished their organization, dividing their forces into three companies, namely A. B. and C, each headed fey a leader, end marching two and two, with the best of order prevailing There was consigned to each company about an equal amount of work.' The saloon mon, with but one -exception, have becorcw much itore lenient, Aod at several places the lad eis were admitted, and others saying ii" they had not signed a pledge to act admit them, they would do so. At one saloon they were jsiet with opposition. . (John Shinnerer.) . Just tsthey were getting reedy to commence their services i a front of the saloon, the proprietor of the establishment opened tte door, and, with an assist ant, et a table on the pavement, and oa that table a medium sLzed hand organ what turns with a crank. .At t be same moment the wi ado wb of the .econd story were oned; and .several . young ladies were ' almost dying . to play their ' .duet on the pi ati and eneage in loud converation. The proprietor then told the 1. die jicm, so loujt.a tuey wouia stay and itioe auu pm vfisu rang wooia ne gnna the or can. inen vu8in ess commenced. ; Soon tne crowa incroased to two or three lurn dred, and aliveiy time was expected, neitbor did they meet with disappointment, for your correspondent has . never witnessed flucnascene.

Tha nrvan a nnntlnnnrl cutmothing like two ' hours, when the organ grinder gave out. and, as it was not a position that hia assistants desired. I he was not reinforced as was anticipated in

the beginning. So t'jft ladies were victorious. Much credits duo Miss Lessie and Tish Dillon for their fnergy aod perseverance in thVs caiio. When throueh at thl point Captain McG ravel was . interviewed, who admitted the ladies and everybody, and mtertained them as best ho could, knrf.ling when they did in prayer. It is evidriit that saloon men ara very uneasy, and many of them wih to sell out. One oirered to sell at fiOO at first, and now is down to $400, and this day snit, was entered against him fr selling to ' a minor. Another offered ...to seU.at ten cents on the dollar. The excitement is running high and all soem to' be interested, and the ladies say they will stay six month if necessary to accomplish the work, and in this connection well say at least two-thirds of our town ladies nre engaged in this work, and are zealous workers. Over eight hundred names have been pledged. ' One ot our oldest citizens remarked to-day, while the organ grinding was xyingon, that it was the first time he ever saw' God and the dovil worshipped at tho same time by the same crcv.d. 11. D.

T33C02rIING CENTENNIAL. INDIANA TO TIIE TRONT. TUE " CENTENNIAL" MEETINO LAST WEEK. GENERAL LANSING PRESENTS SOMETCNOENT IHJINTS IOR CONSIDERATION. THE RENEFITS THAT INDIANA WILL DERIVE 11Y A PROPER REPRESENTATION IN lt7i. . , . The "centennial" meeting held last week in the stato board rooms called, tjgelber a fair number of gentlemen, especially considering how foul the weather was outside. .Tha speeches of General Eansing,secretary of the stock subscription committee for the west, and Secretary Cress well, of the centennial commission, are given below- in full, and contains many points of interest well worthy the consideration of all who feel a pride in having Indiana, representad at the centennial of '76. The meeting being called to order General Lansing presented his views as follows:, . , . Mr. President: Gentlemen of the Indiana State Board of Agriculture; The commemoration ol the one hundredth anniversary ol our grand republic, should be dear to the heart of every citizon of the union. Never m the history of the world, has a similar event been celebrated. For the first time on our globe, : there will assemble . in 17(3, a free people of 40,00i,000 ruling a continent stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific; rich beyond computation; and reveling in the blessi ug bestowed by self-government, and in tho light shed "by - thousands of free schools, and free churches. Ono hundred years ago, upon the spot where they will then meet, the voice of only 3,000,000, on a narrow strip of land by the Atlantic, declared that all men were free and eqHal, and had a right to goverii themselves.--To "this end they pledge their fortunes and their lives, and in much sorrow, if hunger and nakedness, with the saci ifice ot their property and inany lives, tbey showed the world that they were fully capable of maintaining their declara tion, and band it down to their posterity. At that anniversary, thelOOth, in thecity of Philadelphia, will bo assembled todo honor to the giant republic of the world, the representatives, the productions, the manufactures, the people of all climes, and all countries, from civilized Europe, from semi-barbaric Asia, from barbaric Africa, from the Orient, from the east, and from the isles of the sea, will be . seen ; In their own native costumes, their own peoples, come up to see to wonder, and to learn THE THOUSAND LESSONS that will be given them by the expositions of each state and territority of our Union, with "their manifold and unparaleled psoductions of ar,t manufacturer and of soil and mine. The lesson will not be lost, for there will go out ; to the world from that . exposition such food for thought, such cause lor reflection and comparison as will spread broadcast over the earth, the seed of human liberty. Each state ot ours will learn something to its advantage, and have inst cause for self pride in some por tion of its exhibition. Foreigners and our own people will learn more of us, and of each other, than they ever - could in any other way. It should be, it must be Mie grandest exposition yet laid before the prld. Whilst every State has a deep in rerest in its success, you, citizens of Indiana, have a very great one, to gratify your pride in exhibiting your great resources and progress, and show the world's visitors that yon have yet room for more, and as a good prospect. or still increasing prosperity When 1S76. shall come you will have been a state just (3 years. Your population when admitted into the union was about 100.000. Taking the average of your erowth, the last live years, m iso, your population will nave increased, in the last sixth-tenths of the century we celebrate, from 100.0C0 to a number equal to two-thirds OF.THK ENTIP.K REPUBLIC", When in 1776 thay declared their indepen dence; 2,000,000 cf people, and, in population, the sixth state of the union, of 47 states and territories. Following out the same average, you will hve 11,300,000 acres of improved . larm lands, worth, in -cash, with their; .- 8,000,000 of woodland, $700,000,000. . : Using on these larms improved , American agricultural implements worth the great sum of $21,000,000 your annual fairu products, including in crease of stock, $150,000,000. - To reach the markets of the world you" have your canals and rivers, your northern ports on our in land seas, aad your southern ones on the Ohio, by which you reach the Atlantic and tue Gulf of Mexico. In addition, a network of railways, that- radiate from thiscity, like the divergent rays of a planet; reaching the Atlantic, north., 'and south, - the lakes, 1 the : . gulf 1 and the Pacific. Through these varied channels yon can en ter and compete with the markets of the world, not only with your productions of soil aod mine, but with your manufactured goods, already large and steadily increasing With iron ore beds of your own. and a vast amount of coal, your central position will make you the smelters of the mine products 01 ..your aeignuoring ' states, -wno must stop here instead of seekingthe coal f elds of the Atlantic coast, as It will save them timVas" well'as expense: j . ., . All tLeae great results, ad Jed to vour permanent school fund that will then be $9.000, OOfl, aud yor lO.fUO school houses and thousands, of churcnos, should and must induce each citizen of the1 great state of Indiana, to rejoice at the opportunity offered by that exposition to exhibit all thesewoudertul results, and to : pledge himself that Indiana will give her share f.w shelter and' fence, and do her best to . make her display equal to the greatnoss of her ' empire The exposition of 1S76 Originated In a degiro on the part of the people of the United States to properly celebrate theevent. Many plans' were laid before Con cress, manv el tie claimed the right of having it within their limits. And many states asked for it: but the applications of all were sent to a special committee, who reported a bill designating

the city, and that biil finally became an act

of consres. It provided that tho exroltion should bo held in tho citv of Philadel phia, the place where the declaration of independenro was written, - rublished, aild promulgated: where the lirst consrees was held, and where the first president of tte buded btates' irtded." In order to carry out the provisions of the act. the presidert wa directed to' appoint a commissioner and alternate from1 each slste ini the union, Xo 1 meet in Phi!.delphia. The bill was: approved in March. IS, l, and tho commission met in the fall oj the same yean but found thev were cna'J to ofcrrv out tho financi! portion of tN m3ier. - Tbey wont to congress in 1S72, an J had an act paed creating the ' CENTENNIAL TiOARD OF FINANCE. , , ' That board has tho solo charge of 'the rais ing of money, the making of contracts, the auditing of accounts, and the spending of the money sut scribed by tho stockholders. It v. tis organized in Juno of last year, and to organize it was necessary to have subscriptions. Lnder the direction of tho commission, the financial corporators named in the net creating tie board of e;n h state were directed to meet and open su'oscription fcook for ono hundred" days. For that period, each state . was allowed to take so much stock and no more. At the expiration ot the ona hundred days there were lü.OO) stockholders, and they tpvted the board ol twenty-five directors, who now now control the finances ol tho exposition. They met in June, and determined the way the accounts should be organized, arranged and kept, and the way .tbey should continue tho reeiviusr of eubrcriptions to the f-tock. In tbo month of Sep tember they decided that the union ßhould be divided into live districts, west, east, north, south and middle, a -committee to have charge of each and obtain subscriptions. I am here to represent tho western committee. the stock. ; f; V . The stock of the ceqtennial lard of fi nance is $10,000,000, divided into ' 1,000,000 shares of 10 each, payable either in full at the time of subscription, or 2d per cent, down ?2 per share and tho remaining 0 per cent, in foor quarterly payments, begiamne three months from the urst mom n suc ceeding the month of subscription. Interest at 6 per cent, is paid every stockholder trorn the day of payment to the 1st of January, 1S7G. Every stockholder has a vote at the annual election ot directors, and his share, pro rata, of all the proceeds of the exposition, less the expenses and plus the price obtained for tho building at the closo. They receive a certificate ot stock to hold as a memorial. It is a steel enirravinc, 18x21 inches, drawn by Darling. The sketch is now in the hands oi tho secretary ot the treasury, under whose direction it is to be engraved bv the engravers in the employ of the government. It will bike them ono year to complete the work, - no that the holder of one share of stock gets an engraving, equal to half his Investment, to keep rs a memorial of the occasion. PLAN OF HOLDING TIIE EXPOSITION. On the fourth of July, 1373, the Fairmount Park commissioners gave to the centennial commissioners 450 acres of land in which to bold the exhibition. At that time tho president of the United States was to have been present and read his proclamation, but was unable to be there on account ot the death of his father, whose funeral he was attending. - ' The proclamation was read by Secretary Robeson. It declared the exposition should open on the ISth of April, 1871, and close the 19th of October, same year, inviting ail nations to take part in it. The plans for the building have been adopted; that of the memorial building advertised for bius. The mam building will follow soon, as the architects are doing all they can to expedite it, as well as the United States centennial commission, who have charge of the plans ior, and the erection of the buildings, make rules and regulations to govern its rnanj.goment also space to exhibitors, fix prices of admission systematize the classes offer prizes, and allow them NO TRICKS CPON TRAVELERS. A visit to it will be like a journey around the world, and give all an opportunity to see what they could. not other than by long voyages, weary travel, and great cx pense. During the six months that the ex position will be opened, all railroads will sell excursion tickets at half rate, enabling thousands not only to attend the exposition, but visit their old homes fer the first time iu many years. It will be the occasion of many a happy reunion of families and friends long separated, and be marked in the memory with a white stone forever, Care will be taken that no extortions upon travelers will be Tpracticsd, and everything done that can be done, to make a viit pteas ant, : safe and comfortable. You will understand that the various articles for . exhibition : from each state will be collected by transported to the exhibition, cared for while there, and returned under the care of a state board, appointed by tho governor, and at the ex pense ol each st te. It will in. fact be like a large and carefully arranged state fair, exhibited in the exposition by the side or, and in competition with, the same ircm each other state and every country on the globe. The commission provide the building, light and motive power free to the exhibitors My mission to you Is to arrange a system of subscription to the stock of the Ceaten nial Board of Finance, and to ask your hearty and prompt response, for with this money the buildings are to be erected in which the exhibition is to be mide, and the time is now short in which they must be completed. . ... - The amount allowed each state to subscribe. whilst the banks wereopened the 100 days was based upon the census of 1870, giving the amount percapita at a fraction shortof cents each, or one share of $10 to each 40 of copu lation. Under that division Indiana's qnota wasr43o,b0. As your population will be in' 1876. it would be $520.000. but there ' now exists no limit, and it is hoped that the state subscription will will exceed the amount named. It is only i ot one per cent upon the farm products, and increae of one year; to say nothing of all the other great interests. The memorial hall is advertised for bids, the main ' build ing soon will be, and ' " ' ' MONjit I3 NEEDED AT ONCE, '-. . or the whole will be a failure a national d:fgroce falling on each state, and' individual alike. Th s must not he. Shall it be said, that thi great people, willing tocelebrate a ceutu of progress under their own government, ry had not public spirit enough to build tbo temple in which they intended to hold their celebration' The eyes of the whole world are on us, and a failure in this will be counted a failure of free government, and liberty will be turned back irom the spot w ler she was born. Failure Is not to be thot jh; of; to the American people there is ' no such word as fail." Come. then, citizens of Tn.il. I
