battle of Guntpwn, during the war of the rebellion. . The opponent of dbmptdsory vaccination are very active in England, one society In London having issued and circulated over a quarter of a million of tracts and circulars on the subject during the last year. Te£E 60,115,783 population of the United States consists of 25,518 829 ! males and 24,636,963 females. 6,079,943 of themwere born in foreign countries. There are 6,580,763 colored people, 66,407 Indians, 106,465 Chinese, and 148 , ' , ■ . ' , i-tr ’ Japanese; The London Society for the abolition of compulsory vaccination says that)vaccination, while being of questionable utility for preventing smallpox, retards all improvement and discoveries in the treatment of the disw* ease. An association of bankers and merchants has been formed in London favorable to the remonetization of silver in this country- It isfta significant fact that one of the Directors of the Bank of England is President of the association. A Catholic priest of Chicago, who has just returned from a visit to his old home in Ireland, says that it would take au army of men to suppress the Land League. The people are united, resolute and faithful to each other.; If the Baroness Burdett-Coutts survives her marriage ten years she will have paid, without interest, $3,750,000 for a husband, taking her loss consequent on marriage at £75,000 a year—an expensive luxury, but then she can afford it.

The customs authorities ol Germany are trying to stop the importation of foreign provisions by imposing onerous duties by taxing labels, wrappers, etc. American corn beef, for example, is taxed as “fine iron wares” because it is done up in tin cases. The panic in a church on Christmas day, caused by a pickpocket’s cry of “fire," occurred at Warsaw, Poland, instead of at London, as first reported, and the number killed is now reported to be not less than one hundred,besides a large number wounded. A numbef. of Mormons who claim that Brigham Young introduced the doctrine of polygamy and blood atonement contrary the original belief, have organized a new church in Salt Lake City. They renounce polygamy, and refuse to pay any more tithes. Governor and Mrs. Blackburn, of Kentucky, recently gave an “old fashioned quilting party” at which several hundred guests, dressed in the style of Iheir forbears, quilted a quilt, danced reels and jigs to tlxe music of “darkey fiddlers” and had a royal good time generally.

The Bethel Sunday school at Cincinnati is the largest in the World. At it’s recent Christmas celebration there were 4,500 children present, to whom was given three quarters of a ton of candy, fifteen barrels of oranges and other requisites of such occasions in proportion. The greatest advertiser in the country is a Baltimore manufacturer of liniment, who expends $200,000 a year. The next largest Is a tobacco manufacturer, whose bills on this account are almost slso*ooo. Both of them testify that their great success in business is due to persistency in newspaper advertising. A correspondent of the Liverpool, (England,) Mercury, asserts that, the worst case pf small-pox can be cured in three days by dissolving an ounce of cream-of-tartar in a pint of boiling water, and drinking the mixture at short intervals after it has cooled. The correspondent also asserts that this medicine is a preventive as well as a sure. „ . M. Papon has introduced into the Chamber of Deputies a bill for the immediate purchase of the whole of the French railways by the Government. The scheme provides for the division of the great lines into sections, each of which is to be managed by a company under the general supervision of the Ministry of Public Works. M. Papon’s proposal is already meeting with considerable opposition.

The counsel for the Government are preparing another vigorous attack, in criminal proceedings, upon the Star routers. Civil proceedings for- the recovery ot the sums unlawfully absorbed by them will also be commenced at an early day. They will be punished in some way for their offenses, or it will be clearly/shown that the law cannot be made to reach them. The Washington lie-factori&s are in full blast, sending out stuff that should severely tax the credulity of imbecility, and yet this trash is gravely commented upon by newspapers which pretend to be respectable and reliable. The fact of the matter appears to be that some persons are anxious to have a grievance, and will establish it on foolish falsehoods if nothing better is supplied. y - ~ v A lady of Bradford, Pa.—Amanda T. Jones—claims to have invented a successful process by which coal and wood for stf am-generating purposes

will be superseded by petroleum. She claims that even the smelting of <jres and the motive-power of the hugest factories will be included In the achievements, of the invention, and scientific men incline favorably to her ideas. : • ■ • ■ Miss Rebecca Bates died at Scituate, Mass., last week, aged eightyeight years. Miss Bates and'her eousin, Abbje, were the heroines in the British “scare" in 1812, when' the ‘ two girls, hidden behind rocks on the beach, with fife and dram sounded the rollcall to flight seVeral boat-loads of troops from a British man-of-war, who were make a landing. Miss Bates’cousin, Afcbie, is still living and is eighty years of age. \ Kentucky maintains ’kef bad pre, eminence. At Ashland,, in ’that Statethe day Christmas, a couple of men entered the house of a Mr. Gibbons, where they found his son, a lad, and lsis two daughters, aged respectively fourteen and seventeen, outraged the girls, pursued and killed the boy, who attempted to give an alarpa, and then returned and killed the girls, and set fire to the house. V

MariE, aged 13, youngest daughter of the Austrian Emperor, the other day at breakfast, where the royal family assembled for the purpose- of making holiday arrangements, when asked what she desired rpost as a Christmas present), said r “She would like permission to adopt one of the children made by the Ring Theater fire.” Her request brought, tears to the eyes of all present, and greatly affected her father. It has just been learned that the survivors of the, Jeannettee were ten r 4 ■ “*■ - -■ weeks id Eastern Siberia before they they were able to communicate their conditiduto their friends, the Russian Governor of that Province refusing to telegraph the announcement of their arrival because they had no money to pay the expense. This fact, it is said, causes great iudignatiou at St. Peters*burg, and that the Russian Government will take steps to properly punish the reprehensible conduct of the Government pgent. J Senor Martinez, the Chilian Minister at Washington, has issued an eighteen-page pamphlet on the difficulty between Chili on the one baud and Peru aud Bolivia on the other. The work is not designed as an official document, but was prepared simply to throw light Upon the question. Senor Martinez declares that the assertion that Chili caused the war Is absolutely false and is now believed by nobody. He also says that charged of Chilian atrocities during the war are greatly exaggerated, and founded on the ordinary war experiences.

Mrs. Smith, of New York, finding herself at the gates of death, and desiring to secure the happiness of the loved ones she was leaving, insisted upon the marriage of her husband and sister. To gratjfy her dying wish, the ceremony was performed in her presence, and so great was her satisfaction with her good work that she immediately spoiled it by getting well.' Poor Smith now has no refuge outside of the State’s prison, the divorce court or the Endowment House at Salt Lake city.

Emigrants continue to pour irito the country at a rate which is not only unprecedented, but astonishing. Up to the present time 423,000 have been registered. This is 114,000 more than was recorded in 1873 at this date, while that Was the champion emigrant year. It i&estim ated that this number of emigrants bring with them $9,000,000. Of course nearly all of this is expended inthepurchase of land, stock, utensils,seeds and railway transportation. It is/howe ver, in the subsequent increase of this wealth that th 9 greater portion of the benefit in emigration lies.

Mr. Lionel Sackville West, the new British Minister at Washington, although a bachelor, is credited with being the father of two or three children, and Washington “society” is all torn up about it. He is installed in the elegant mansion belonging to the British Legislation and has twenty servants, and it would be “too bad to cut his acquaintance, you know.” Virtue vindicated itself in this country by giving Sarah Bernhardt the cold kshoulder, and a man “is so different you know.” It is .quite probable, therefore,that theßritish lion will “roar you as gently as any sucking dove” in Washington “society,” despite this little piquant scandal/ President Hinsdale, of Hiram College, has been lookingjup the record of General Garfield’s last day as a member of the House of Representatives, May 25,1880. He spoke several times on that day, the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill being under consideration. He made a short, strong speech in behalf of an Increased appropriation for the coast survey. He also favored a proposition for an appropriation to build |t'Viiult for the storage of coin.” He said: “I do not believe In the policy oi continuing the coinage of silver; bat that is not the question now. The question is upon the point of order, and I say that if you will buy horses you must have stables for them.” i '

A St. Louis romance Is briefly told' as follows: “Gorger owned a St. Louis bakery, and one of his bakers, Ludwig:, hadtea remarkably wife* Gorger offered to exchange possessions, and the Idea was discussed thorough!# and amicably by the three persons concerned. The bargain was closedJ with the condition that Gorger should leave $lO in the till. He then took the woman away on a wedding tour, leaving Ludwig proprietor of tb}& bakery; but at the end of a month he returned, saying, that ha did not like his new wife aftef all, and would give her back for the bakery. However, Ludwig was satisfied with the trade and refused to undo it. The joint wife finds herself discarded by both men, and Gorger is to sue for the recovery of his bakery." .* Ci- ■ i *- f.-.j-ve Hon. Rbwell P; Flower, bf N4w York city, the successor of Hon. Leyi P. Morton in Congress, recently received upward of $2,000 for salary accumulated during the interval between Morton’s resignation and his election, which he refused to keep and use, giving, the entire amount to a clergyman to Be used for charitable purposes. It seems that the law is greatly at fault in thus permitting the payment of salary to a Congressman who has not rendered service to the New York Sun very justly argues that the fault of thejlaw did not confer any honest ownership of tlie moq,ey. upon Mr. Flower. He did right, therefore,' in refusing to accept it,fyut-he spoiled his right action by assuming the right to give the money away. If it did,not belong to him completely and honorably, he could not, rightfully, give it away. It really belonged to the government, and should have been covered back into the treasury.

The importaiim of Scotch ,and Irish, and even English potatoes into New York continues to attract attention. It would seem, at the first blush, like “carrying coals to Newcastle," but thus it is. One New York firm imports hundreds of tous per single steamers, and others are engaged in it less extensively. In the United States ■ome two million acres are annually planted in potatots. The last report of the agricultural bureau gives the annual yield as 181,626,400, or more than three bushels aud a half per capita. This year the j drought seriously damaged the crop, both east and west, while the late plantings at the south were a failure. The Scotch product is said to be inferior to the American, and sells for 50 cents less per bushel. In 1876 there was also a short potato crop, which was supplemented by supplies from Nova Scotia and Prince Edward’s island. The first importation of Scotch was' made in 1879, For ten to *4 years from 1870 potatoes took the fourth place in the annual average acreage. They are less profitable thaii tobacco, but more so than wheat, rye, corn, or oats.

THE STATE.

R. L. Cowan, surveyor of Vanderburg county, has left Evansville, and his whereabouts are unknown’. There is considerable speculation as to Cowan’s departure, his creditors not being apprised ofthe fact. Mrs. Henry Hanna has commenced suit against the city of FortWayno for SIO,OOO damages for' the death of her husband, caused by a bridge over Spy run falling while he vast crossing last summer; ~ r ; T ’’

A farmer residing in Clarksville found a very valuable relic jin the shape of an urn, a few days ago,in «me of the Indian graves located in that ancient village. A large number ;of skulls and arrow points were also dbg' up. !.T r -' Andrew Van Ausdal, a resident of Posey township, Fayette county! has been fined S6O by a justice of the peace for interfering with and intimidating the employes of another person—the first case in the. county Under the new law. Edith Bryant, of New Corner, an in sane person, formerly one of the best teachers in Delaware county, is missing. Her friends had procured der to take her to the State asylum, anh it is supposed that ste learned of it in some way and hid herself. She was under treatment at the asylum once before, and said she would die before she would go again. S. C. Haser, of New Harmony, and Mort Utely, of Stewardville, got ip to a dispute about some trivial, matter, on. Thursday, and. before a half a dozen words had passed between them. Utley raised a heavy hickory Club he held in his hands and brought it down on Haaer’s skull, crushing it in and knocking him to the floor a corpse. Utely claims that Haser was playfully trying to get the club away from him and the blow was altogether accidental. It has been decided to disinter the body of Lawson Hewett, of Lovelydale, who was murdered on the 13th'of last August. The object of the resurrection is to secure possession of the two bullets which are in his body, and trace the range they took after they entei ed the body. The theory of selfmurder is exploded by the statement of Mrs. Hfcwett that the revolver of her husband was in the house at the time the murder occurred. One Mosby is in jail on suspicion of being the murderer,

One hundred of the female operailvea (weavers) in the Evansville cotton mills marched out of the mill on Monday, when the hou/ for beginning work arrived, and went home without giving any explanation lor their conduct. The superintendent, Mr. Cumnock. could give no explanation, except that he supposed they v were displeased with the overseer, a new man from Woonsocket, R. 1., who, he said, was a thoroughly competent man. No committee had waited on him with any demand-for redress or grievances oi any kind. The Harrison county “regulators” are again committing outrages. On Saturday night they took Philip Borden, of Scott toWnship, from his bed and whipped him unmercifully. A few nights previous'they visited the residence of Georgej Kemper, broke in the door and searched for him, but he was not at home. Jackson township was also visited by a! baud of these masked men who harne&sed up a man, hitched him to a wagon| and made him haul wood all night. In this last case, they claimed that the man’s family suffered from cold beejause he was too lazy to get wood. A prison is never narrow when the imagination cans range in it at will.
