The Indiana Legislature convenes to-day. Heaven forefend that its work be not of a character of that malodorous body of two years ago; but it is heavily democmtic in both branches and what can be hoped for from an Indiana democratic Legislature? Plymouth church which enthusiastically doubled Old Beecher’s salary, when he was morally convicted, some yeafs ago of having basely debauched his friend’s wife, and committed prejury in denying it, still stands by the hoary old sinner, dispite his outrageous insttlts to American manhood and womanhood, during the late political campaign. The annual sale of pews, in the church, was held last Tuesday evening, and the prices they brought showed but little falling off from those of last year. Like all who ever have or ever will attempt to prophesy “The end of the world,” the few fanatics who net last Monday for that interesting event, missed their calculations, and our multitudinous Democratic aspirants for the Rensselaer post-office can arrange for their mass convention, with the full assurance that the course of nature will not be interrupted to inaguration of the distinguished Ex-Sheriff, next March. One by one the roses fall, and one by one and two by two the country newspapers are succumbing to the effects of hard times and turning up their toes to the daisies. The Valparaiso Republican and the Valparaiso Herald, neither of which ever had any good excuse for existence, have lately gone the way of all flesh, and sQjdso, has the Michigan City Enterprise, the paper recently purchased by Charley Claypool, of Delphi. The Enterprise was a good paper, and its demise is really a great loss to Indiana journalism. V If*. ' In Luck! —We believe that the theater going people of Rensselaer are to be congratulated on the fact that Riley’s Dramatic Company "'have contracted to fill a week’s engagement, at the Opera House, commencing with next Monday night. The company is now at Monticello, but was at Remington last week, and at Kentiand the w eek previous. We were in Remington over Siinday, and heard nothing but the most unqualified praise £or the company, and know that the good people of that place gave it a most generous Support, during the entire week. The same also may be said of the satisfaction they gave, and the patronage, in Kentiand. Rensselaer lias been a dull town this winter, so far as amusements areJcOncerned, and we hope and believe that our people will give this company a liberal patronage.

In Massachusetts women And children are driving men ont of many industries. The trades In which the former are a very large majority are awnings and tents, buttons, ilress trimtnings, carpetings, clothing, cotton goods, woolens, fancy goods, flax and linen, hair Work, ho**, rubber, mixed textiles, paper, silk, sporting goods, and worsteds—twenty in all. Sixty trades show a preponderance of men. —Ex. The big.stone tow4r of the Philadelphia public buildings, now under pro cess of erection, will be finished by thv end of the season of 188(1, .and will then be M!0 feet high. From that ele vation the iron-work commences, and goes 15)5 feet higher, until, to the crown of William Penn's httt, the height of 535 feet is reached. The crowning piece in the circle forming the lower part of the tower is a single stone weighing thirty-two tons. — Ex. Americans are not wUlcbnie at several London hotels. Their landlords sav that if a hotel gets the reputation of being preferred by Americans it is avoided by the English. Now, the American patronage is to be had in sufficient numbers only diring a few summer months, whereas the English holds good the year round. Naturally, the hotel people prefer the English business, and discourage the foreigfi or American. They do not absolutely refuse accommodation, but, save when it suits them, they manage to be full. —Ex. ’■.« _ ; - At the outbreak of the war Mr. Vaughn, who is now a newspaper carrier of Jersey City, N.- J., belonged to Company D, Seventy-first New York Regiment. In the first battle of Bull Run he received a bullet wound below the left eye, and was left senseless on the field. Ho was taken prisoner, aiid was eonfined in Libby Prison add at Tuscaloosa, Ala., the whole period of impirisbnment being twenty-two months. The bullet still remained in his head. No effort was ever made to remove it. A few days ago, while at work on his hands and knees in liis coal bin, his right nasal cavity became obstructed, as he supposed by a particle of coal. He closed the left nostril, and, blowing hard several times, was delighted to find in his handkerchief the bullet which he had carried in his head for more than twenty-three years. A collector of curiosities offered him &!5Q for it, but he refused the offer.— Ex.

A remarkable: case of conscience has developed itself in New Jersev. William Lewis, a man 33 years old, lift? surrendered liimsa'f to the Jersey City authorities and confesses to having committed a burglary in a small town in the State two years ago. /lie robbed a store of jewelry and other valuables, worth several hundred dollars, and hid the property in the woods. He became foarful that he was watched and raft away, without daring to take the goods. Lately he lias learned that two teamsters were soon afterward foftnd with the property in their possession, were tried, and found guilty of the theft, and are now serving terms in the penitentiary. This knowledge lias, according to his account, so preyed uj on his mind that ho can endure it no linger, and he asks that the innocent men be released, and that lie be allowed to suffer the rightful penalty of his crime. It may be added that the authorities are even more suspicious of a man who confesses crime than of one who boasts of his good deeds, and are of the opinion that the self-accusing burglar is working out some deep-laid scheme, and is a fraud who will bear watching.— Ex. r ■ , » ’ » They laid out a new town in Dakota last fall and called it Golden City. A Chicago speculator who w r as out there took 500 lots at $5 apiece, and in thirty lays the price of city lots had gone to $25 each. Some one built and opened a saloon, and the figures jumped to, SSO. A second saloon went up, and city lots changed hands at $75 apiece. The Chicago man was advised to sell, but he concluded to hang on for a few more saloons. It was only about a month ago that the snowdrifts melted so that any one could get into the new town. The Chicago man’s agent showed up to find the place deserted by human beings, but on a tree was a sign, reading: “Sell you the whole; —— city for $lO. Fellows begun to draw lumber for a church, and the saloons moved to Red Gulch, fifteen miles west. ” — Ex. ~~ Found.—About two weeks ago, on the public highway, Bouth of town, a small parcel done up m an Ellis Murray’s wrapping ‘paper.
