Mrs. Lincoln w materially improved in mental condition, though not, as was first ikzSVMM/vk Iw -- • mj rostoreti. ent in the Black Hills still reports the gold proapect in that region as very ingJeff, is almost as sweet upon the great Mississippi valley as he was in 1861, when he waqted the people there to join in his stale rcM?toM. Yhe North Carolina Democrats arc stiff riamoring to have Jeff. Davis pardoned. We have no doubt the pardon would please the Did Bourbon Democrats everywhere. Pennsylvania Democracy has declared for more greenbacks. Since the great leader of the Democracy, Jeff. Davis, has declared in favor of the same thing of course no Democratic convention can do otherwise than follow his lead.

The grand jury of Winnebago county propose to investigate the late duel in that county. The world is anxious to learn whether those pistols were loaded t»r not, and if the grand jury will solve that question, they will gratify a laudable curiosity- ■ 111 ■ i • A noted burglar in an Eastern penitentiary has written to Mayor Stakle, of Philadelphia, explaining how banks are fobbed. He says that a majority of the robberies arc the result of mixed up accounts and collision between the bunk ■officers and the burglars. Oov. Ames, of Mississippi, is still urging the United States authorities to assist in restoring tranquility in that State, and 4he accounts show that the assistance is needed. There is nothing so powerful in subduing the Ku-Klux as a return of cold lead sent from Uncle Sam’s guns. LaPorte Chronicle: Carl Schurz has taken the stump in Ohio for the Republicans. He has wandered long enough in the company of those with whom he never can sympathize, and now comes forto aid. the Republicans with all his oldtime energy, ability and influence. Some Democratic roughs made a disturbance at a political meeting in Clinton, Mississippi, the other day. The negroes had been advised to leave their arms at home, and the result of the row was that' several inoffensive negroes were shot down in cold blood. A dose of Phil. Sheridan would be a good thing down there. Before the war the parents of colored children had little or no control over their offspring. The source of all government was the “big house” where the master lived. His self-interest induced him to see th t the negro children on his place were to be industrious, and not contract any bad habits -that wouid impair their usefulnes or their value.

Thus writes a correspondent of the New York Tribune, named Z. L. White. Who or what Mr. White is, we are not informed, but take it that he is in favor of remanding the negro to slavery. He says that the self interest of the master (in slavery times) induced him to see that the negro children on his plantation were taught to be industrious. Of course self interests so induced him. But why did he want to teach the negro children to be industrious ? For their own benefit when they grew up ? Did he want to make them useful and beneficial citizens to the coihmunity in which they lived ? Not at all. Their industry was to help swell his -coffers —to help him and his family in idleness. The master did not want them to contract any bad habits that would impair their usefulness or their value. Certainly not, but it was not because he wanted to make virtuous men and women of them. Little eared he whether they contracted all the vices known to human nature, provided they did all the work demanded of them. It was because these impaired their health, and hence rendered •them unfit for labor, that he wanted to keep them from vicious influences. Mr. Z. L. White sees nothing but danger in the present condition of the colored people of the South. The colored boys *nd girls are growing up in idleness, and are sure to become dangerous members of society. They must go back into slavery if peace, good order and virtue are ever restored in that part of the Union. And the New York Tribune, once the ablest Abolition paper in America, gives his foolishness a quasi endorsement, promi neatly publishing his letter.

To the Women of Indiana.

It may not be generally known that a separate building, called the Women’s Department, uin process of erection in Philadelphia, for the exhibition of women’s work. The demands made for space in the min Exhibition Building by foreign countries, rendered the women’s building a necessity. It is to cost about $30,000. This amount has all been contributed by

the women of Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida and the District of Columbia. Therefore, the women of other States and Territories cannot be invited to contribute to this fund, but are earnestly requested to lend their aid in conducting the whole enterprise, and in this way represent the elevated position, the energy, accomplishments of the women of America. .- : Will the women of Indiana nsk for a space in the Women’s Department ? - , It is recommended that committees be formed in every village, township, city and county in the State. Their duty will be to interest the women in forwarding to the* Exhibition collections of Fine Art, Sculpture, Painting, Drawing, Sketching, Printing, Penmanship; also, all kinds of fancy work in Wax, Hair, Beads, ets.; Embroidery, Braiding, Quilting—in short, every variety of hand-made and machine work. Action on this subject should be taken as soon as possible, so that timely arrangements may be made for space and transportation. No charge will be made for space. r; - ■ ■ The committees will also encourage subscriptions to Centennial stock. The shares are ten dollars each, obtained by subscription. Each subscriber to a share of stock will receive a certificate, which, as a work of art, is deserving a place in any parlor, library or gallery. These certificates will possess a singular interest all along the coming century ; and who of us can estimate their value at the Centennial of 1976? Money received from the sale of Centennial Stock and Medals, cannot be used for State purposes, but must be given to the Centennial Finance Committee of Philadelphia, for the erection of the National Buildings. Money raised by the Women of Indiana and other States of the Union, should be applied for the purpose of making a display of their industries in the Womens’ National Building. Especially is this necessary for Indiana, as the Legislature, one year ago, made but a meager appropriation of $5,000 for State Centennial purposes. We urge upon your consideration the great advantages to be derived by our sex through this exhibition. Their business qualifications will be usefully called forth; the value of their labor enhanced ; and many who are now struggling for their daily bread will be enabled to obtain remunerative positions. Besides these considerations we all cherish a State pride and general interest in the success, of the Exposition, and should be especially desirous that Indiana be represented in the Women’s Department. An official proposition for the Women’s Building was made late in June last. The United States Women’s Centennial Executive Committee was organized about the last of July, and still more recently a member of this committee was elected from each State and Territory. Having been’elected the member from Indiana, I have the pleasure of commending this proposition to your earnest consideration, and trust that it will meet with your hearty approval. Mas. W. O. Rookwood, 276 North Illinois Street, Indianapolis. By order of the Ladi s’ Cen. Ex. Com,

Centennial Tea-Party.

As there'seems to be some misunderstanding as to the purpose of the ladies of Indiana in organizing a Centennial Tea-Party, we were appointed to make a statement of facts, that the ladies of the State may know the true condition of the work. Under two acts of Congres, two committeeshave been appointed in this State: one called the Auxiliary Board, and the Financial Board. These two State Boards were receommended by the Governor, and their appointment ratified by the National Centennial Board. This latter Board was appointed by the President of ’the United States. The plan of organization, for this State, to work up the interest of Indiana, provides for a Financial Committee, consisting of two members from each Congressional District, and two from Indianapolis; and all the funds raised in the State is subject to the control of this latter Board. So that, in the use to be made of the money raised, Indianapolis has two Votes, while the rest of the State has twenty-eight votes. We expect to raise, by donation from the citizens of Indianapolis alone, aside from what they do for the Tea-Party, $20,000. - ? . - < / We will do our full share in getting up the Tea-Party,, and it is respectfully submitted that, as this is a State TeaParty, the whole State will be disgraced in case of failure, or win applause if successful. The ladies of the different Congressional Districts should take hold of the matter with such will and determination as was displayed by the ladies of 1776, and thus prove to the world that the ladies of 1876 have not degenerated, but are the peers of those who did so nobly in the

early days of the ceatuiy. will represent one of the success or failure. The Districts will represent the Colonies as follows: First District—Virginia. Second District—North Carolina. Third District —South Carolina. Fourth District —Delaware. Fifth District—New York. Sixth Seventh Distrietr—Pennsylvania. Eighth District —New Hampshire. Ninth District —Massachusetts. Tenth District — Rhode Island. Eleventh District —Connecticut. Twelfth District—Georgia. Thirteenth District—New Jersey. The Martha Washington Tea-Party will be held during three days, beginning the 29th of September. Continental Costume, or style, is recommended, though not indispensable. In order to insure the personation of General and Lady Washington, these two characters have been appointed. But ladies and gentlemen all over the State are requested to make choice of, and personate, any Revolutionary character they prefer. These will constitute the “Republican Court,” and will doubtless be a grand feature of the occasion. It is earnestly desired that each District or Colony have a separate table, designated by the coat-of-arms of said Colony, also name and number of the district. AU revolutionary or other relics should be brought out for ornamentation cf tables, and for their intrinsic value as curiosities. Ladies are requested to bring any fancy articles they may have on hand for sale or display. Shells and pictures are very desirable for beautifying walls or tables. If preferred, and because it,.is very practicable, the ladies of Indianapolis will cheerfully furnish all the refreshments, china and glassware; also the tables.— The particular style of furnishing these tablas will, of course, be left to the taste and discretion of the ladies from the different Colonies. A handsome French-China Tea-Set, of 44 pieces, is offered as a prize for the best Centennial Poem. All who desire to do so, are requested to write for the prize—anonymously or not —the poem to oe sent to the care of Mrs. Oliver P. Morton. A gentleman of this city is manufacturing here an extensive variety of fancy china, intended as rare novelties, and as a donation to the Ladies’ Fund. This will be of Indiana clay, which is said to be the finest Kaolin in the world. Programme. Wednesday Evening, Sept. 29. Reception by. General and Lady Washington. Martha Washington Tea-Party. Music and Recitations (Continental.) Thursday. Martha Washington Tea-Party continued, with a Musical and Literary Entertainment in the evening, of which the Prize Poem will be a distinguished feature. Friday Evening. Grand Promenade Soiree. That all may participate in this State enterprise, it is recommended that the ladies of each prominent city and town in each county, give a primary or home Centennial Tea-Party, previously to the one at Indianapolis, and in this way assure a financial success. It is quite necessary that Indianapolis should know as soon as possible to what probable extent your District will be represented. Committees of Reception for each District have been appointed, who will assist in every way desired. Please send your reports to

THE OLD LINE DEDG STORE. THE GREAT AMERICAN EXPLORER, MAJOR MUCKLESWORTH, has been heard from. The last account we had of him was up to the 17thday of March, 1875, in latitude 41J degrees west longitude from Washington where he had encountered Deacon Tubbs and his Party f and after three days of hard bombardment had captured him and his whole party, and —.—now have them confined in the New Brick Building on the South Washington Street, l¥o. 1004. one door east of F. J. Scars & Co’s dry goods store. The Deacon nnd his party made a gallant resistance at the old stand on the north side of the street, but the Majorwas a little tov strong for him and captured him and his subordinates, Lieut. Meyer* and Will Perigrim. Young Perigrim was wounded by an accidental discharge of Meyer’s piece, but young Perigrim, at last accounts, was doing well; he was using RAD WAY’S READY RESOLVENT for his Blood, one bottle of WALLACE’S BITTE -S for his Digestive Organs, and three boxes of M’ ALERTER’S ALL HEALING SALVE for his wound. It is thought by his nurse that he will recover. The Major, in the long exposure with Deacon Tubbs, cheering on hismen, took a severe cold which settled in his throat, but by using a battle of I>r. Harding*! Celebrated Cough Mixture. we are happy to iuform the public that he is able to be out again, and at the NEW BRICK STORE compounding Drugs and Medicines, where the Deacon and the Major arc found at all times dealing out Medicines to their numerous.
