■' Ok* by one the European nations are awaking to the necessity of checking the heavy flow of emigration to this country. A circular has now been issued to French prefects instructing them to use their influence to prevent skilled laborers from leaving the country. Europe has no olj s Hion to its paupers and criminals crossing the Atlantic; but wants to keep at home the only men to whom America can be ex pected to offer a hearty welcome. Col.

A CREATMONSTROSITY.

Tlie Birth or a Double Child Creates a Sensation at Kempton, Tipton County, T Ind. 'Tj'' ~ 7 ~ ~ A strange and wonderful human birth occurred last week near Kempton, Tipton county, Ind. The parents are Mr. and Mrs. Jones, young people, probably not over 28 and 24 years of age. A reporter who vißited the Jones house, says: The monstrosity, for such it is, and a wonderful one, too, consists of a single, continuous body, on each end of which is a well formed head. It is provided with four arms and foui legs, which are also well formed and about tbe normal size and shape. The arms are located at the proper place and on natural shoulders, one pair at each end of the long body, but the lower limbs protrude outward from each Bide at the middle of the elongated being. The two heads tace the same way, and the legs are so attached as to extend at right angles from the middle of the sides of the body. There is only one umbilicus, that being on the anterior surface aud middle of the body .showing that the entire form has been nourished through one and the same cord during the entire period of emoryoflic life. The sex of this curiously constructed being is female with one set of organs on eacn side, and tne general appearance of the entire body is that of two children so intimately joined together at their nelvs that the line of janction is almost invisible, yet Borne things about it exists wnich go ti prove that it has been thus joined from the time of conception, ana not the result of the growing together of two seperate ftrtuses. There is a duplicity in so far ae there are two heads, two pair of limbs, two sets of genital organs, and "tfilt the voluntary movements oi the two portions are not in c mlormity. On the other hand there was but one umbilical cord, aud the junc.ion of the two halves presents no line of original seperation, to prove that the being has been joined together from the start. One half of the creatnre may be sleeping while the other is awake, and at such times it is noticed that one leg on each side conforms to the other voluntary movements of the end of the body nearest to them, or in other words the two legs on the same side of the body are not controlled by one half. The entire length of the body from head to head is about two foot, and the weight of the creature is twelve pounds, figures which show ample size and weight for two healthy children. Up to the present writing the babe or babes, is or are enjoying good health, and the mother, a small sized woman, is doing very well. In case this wopdwful curiosity. holds on to life it is not known whether or not it will be placed on exhibition. Although the parents are poor in worldly goods they are not in the notion of any dime-museum arrangement, but should this offspring live it would undoubtedly bring them a fortune by being exhibited, snd at the some time give people generally an opportunity to see the greatest freak of nature ever born. The reporter found tbe house crowded with curiosity seekers, no lees than one hundred persons having visited the great center of attraction during tbe day. The babe or babes lay calmly and peacefully on tbe bed in a room adjoining the mother,and to all outward appearances were enjoying life as well as anybody. It is now pettled that the donhie child, or tbe Jones girls, as it is called, has just as good a chance to live apparently as any baby that ever wsb horn. Dr. J. C. Throne, says that it is “.he most won derful freak in the way of a living malformation that has ever been recorded.” The doctor says further: ‘‘The freak represents a twin biith, each child having entirely separate and independent organism, and each representing a marked deformity, besides the deformity that excites the wonder and pity of everyone that sees it—that of being inseparably joined together. The deformity consists of a deflection of the lower part of the spine and body, each toward the left, the deflection being sufficient to bring the line of the pelvis and lower extremities to a right angle wif h the boay, so that the legs belonging to each child respectively are the two to the left side as the body. That this condition is the true one is proven by the position of the outlets oi the alimentary*canal, the bladder, and generative organa These outlets are always through tne pelvis, and that they are at the sides of the body in proper re lation to the limbs is sufficient to prove that this is the line of the pelvis, and that the spice is not continuous from onejbead to the other. Observing the motions of one child, it was seen in a fit of restlessness to throw its arm and kick with Che feet only of one side, the other child being asleep at the time and perfectly quiet. The soles of the feet are directed outwsrd, or away from the body, as are also the flexures of the knee joint and the patella, or kne-i cap, is on the side of the knee towar J the body."

The first rail has been laid at Elnora in tbe construction of the Evansville & Richmond Railway, and it is expected tbat track laying will continue at tne rate of one mile per day. Charles Cox, of Pittsboro, while examining a revolver, Tuesday, accidentally discharged the weapon, and the bullet lodged in the brain of Richard Parker, eon of Henry Parker, causing instanct death.

It will be nine hundred feet in length,and it is said that it will be the longest tunnel either in Indiana or Ohio. "While Sanford Johneonbaughj of Monticello, was unloading hay. his daughter, aged eleven, who was playing on the wagon, ran against his fork, the tine entering her eye and penetrating her brain, causing death in a few minutes. William Tracewell, acting Judge in Harrison county, holds that if a party is incurably insane, this is sufficient reason for granting a divorce. This TOting came iff the suit of Win.

Bernardin, Evansville, toy, Eugene Bretney, Indianapolis, dust collector; William J. Jacobs. Bargersville, shockloading machine: David M. Parry and T. H., Indianapolis, vehicle attachment. Nathan Bond, of Greensfork, died some mouths ago, and immediately his widow began praying that she might follow him, hei- grief continued incessant. Boon after she began to droop away physically, seemingly as if in answer to her constant praying, and last week she died. Daniel Rbinehart owns a store sixteen miles distant from Fort Wayne, and Thursday night, in his absence, burglars chloroformed the family and robbed the premises of 11,140 cash. The inmates remained unconscious irom the effect of the drug until their condition was discovered by neighbors. William H. Osborne, foreman of the weaving department of the Evansville cotton mills, while standing in a saw mill, Tuesday, was seized with vertigo and fell forward on a circular saw, which was in motion. Almost instantly the body was cut in two, the head and shoulders falling to one aide, and the remainder of the body on the other. The deceased was a young man, married butthiee weeks. The swindler who has been personating E. L. McDonnell, Purchasing Agent of tbe Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan Line, has finally been captured at North McGregor, lowa, and he will be returned to Elkhart to answer a charge of forgery preferred by several parties. It is claimed that his forgeries will reach thousands of dollars, and that at Wausau, Wis., alone, he succeeded in having a check cashed on the Eastern Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railway Company aggregating $9,500.

A man was discovered in the suburbs of Evansville early Friday morning, apparently Sitting lip 111 a natural manner against a large tree. Examination proved that he war dead, and bad committed suicide by severing the large arteries in both arms. W hen found blood was still flowing from his arms and the gronnu around him was saturated. His right hand was still grasping the penknife with which he had done the work. The deceased is unknown bore. He was well dressed and a fine looking man, about thirty-five years of age, five feet nine inches in hight, and weighing 160 pounds or thereabout, with dark hair and dark hazel eyes—— Henry Houghton has been released from the Prison South. He was confined for three years for assault and battery with intent to kill. He was at one time a” White Cap,’’and his troubles were caused by withdrawal from the order, which set up a regular persecution. One night, six years ago, they at-

tacked hia bouse and whipped hia wife so that she lost an eye, but Houghton defended himself so effectually that one of his assailants, Gillespie, was knocked into a well and died. His persecutors then maimed Houghton for life in a horrible manner. Afterwards he was attacked in the streets of Leavenworth and barely escaped with his life. He was sentenced for shooting.at a family which had assaulted hia children with -rOC-kS. The most remarkahle natural gas well in the State is at Vernon, Jennings county. The well was drilled more than a year ago, and at the depth of 160 feet a good flow of gas was discovered. The depth of the well, however, was extended to 1,300 feet, but without finding any further supply. The pecui lari tv of the welt ft in its flow. Tbe gas is utilized by about thirty families, who, ou account of the uncertainty of the product, keep on hand a supply of wood or ooal. During the extreme cold weather last winter, the flow became entirely extinct from some unknown cause, but as soon as the warm weather 1 commenced the out put began in a large quantity. The flow is also always greatly affected when a stiff gale blows from the north or northwest. —Despite tbe aimoetincessaßt rain s that have marked the past three weeks, the indications are that, the oorn crop throughout Indiana will be a good one this season. J. B. Conner, editor of the Indiana Farmer, is daily in receipt of correspondence from every part of the State, and he said Monday that if such reports are reliable, as he has no reason to doubt, the wet weather has had little or no bad effect. “The corn got a good start this season,” he remaraed “but it looked as if it would be flooded out almost, in the beginning. The weathei we have been having lor the past ten days, however, has done Infinitely more good than all the harm that was occasioned by the rains. There will be a good crop unless some nnfprseen obstacle prevents. 1 think it will reach about 90 or Do per cent. .We won’t have as mutch corn this season as we did last, for in 1888 there were about 125,000,000 bsshels harvested, but it vgill reaeh a high figure. Wheat is not as good as it has "been, but then it is not going to fall very low. In short, the farmers all over tbe State will have good crops if everything continues as it is at present.”

THE STATE CAPITAL.

Inthe case of the State ex rel. Kelly vs, Bonnell. Treasurer oi the city of UrawsferdsvtUe, - the —-Supreme Court Tuesday, in an opinion written by Chief Justice Elliott, holds that a saloon-keener can net take out a license in advance and that a license is nota contract, but is a mere special tax. The Oourt says among other things: ’‘That the grant of a license would not preclude action by the municipal authorities; for a license is not a contract. A license may be changed or even annuli ed by the supreme legislative power of the State whenever public welfare demand it. A license is a restrictive special tax imposed for the public good.and in the exercise of the police power of the State. As the power to grant, withhold or annul license to sell liquor is an exercise of the police power, it follows that no limitation can be placed upon its_ exereiße by any statutory provision. It is a power incapable of surrender or annihilation.

State Treasurer Lemcke. cut of $3,905,000 school refunding bonds, has been able to dispose of $2,850,000. This is $591.75 short of being 73 per cent, of the entire loan. A redistribution of the fund upon that basis will be necessary, and instead of $7.28$ there will be given to the counties "15.32 for each voter. It is thought that the rest of the bonds can be disposed of next month.

The state board of charities returned, from Brazil Wednesday. The board* has no official report to make, but each member has hia view of the situation and these views are guite harmonious. The board’s proposal to the operators to arbitrate was utterly refused, the operators claiming that as regards prices paid to carry on their work they were paying all they could and would not submit to any arbitration which would make tnem pay more. But they said that they were willing to make concession this far: That if the miners would accept tbe terms of the operators they (the operators) wonld reduce the price charged for sharpening toola to 1 cent; the price for powder from $2.25 to $2; the rent in accordance with the wages received by the miners. This proposition was laid before the miners Wednesday and it is thought will be accepted. “There is no feeling between the miners and operators,” Judge Martindalethinkf; “both parties look upon the matter as a business proposition, the one thinking the wages paid too low. the other admitting this, but maintaining that no more can be paid. There can be no question that there is lots of destitution among the miners.—lndianapolis Sentinel. John 0. Cravens has been appointed collector of Internal Revenue for the Sixth Indiana District, and Philip M. Hildebrand surveyor of customs of the port of Indianapolis. The Bupreme Court decides that the act affecting the Reporter of the Supreme Court is invalid in its entirety. Sam Tatem, a Ripley county farmer, went before Judge Woods, of the Federal Court, Tuesday, and pleaded guilty to the charge of buying Shd circulating counterfeit ten dollar treasury notes. “I received a letter from a man by the name of Clarke,” said Tatem to the Court, “who told me that if I would meet him at night at a certain school house, he would put me on to a good thing. He wanted to sell me counterfeit money, hut I concluded not to buy. But I got full and while drunk bought S4O worth of the stuff". I will never do it again—at least rtot in two years.” he conc’uded lather grimly. The court withheld sentence. This is another of the pHriieipants in the wide spread conspiraey to put these counterfeit tens on tne msrket. The Government authorities have made a score of arrests, and one by on&, the “ahovers” are being brought to punishment. The Michigan legislature has enacted aj new election law— a modification of the Australian system.

LETTERS OF GREELEY.

WRITTEN TO CHAS. A. DANA PRE VtOUS TO THE GREAT CONFLICT. The Remarkable I‘ernon* Characteristic* ot the Great Editor Clearly Defiued.— The Newspaper Ai t Expounded—Light Shed on the Politic* of tlie Time—Wit aud Humor Abounding Everywhere. ; XV Vi. Washington, D. C., April 2, ’f?B. Friend Dana. I have mislaid your letter to which I tended night before last; hut iis tenor might seem to imply a preference on my part ior remaining in Washington. I would b ave it" distinctly understood that I am ready to leave this delightful spot the moment you judge that course to be best. 1 ineau to stay at long as that shall Re deemed desirable by you; but I have been expecting some intimation as to a change for some time. Just now Harvey is away and cannot be back till Saturday. When here, tie is very good for the Court end of’town, but not as to the other. Yet we must have some one here who can write about the Capitol, and lam expecting by each mail to be advised by you of a consignment of Pike. I- want him to come prepared to stay, as I have done; merely remaining about here lor a week or two is no good. I want him here several days befere 1 leave, so that l can introduce him to some folks who can be of use to him in getting news (his weak point), and to imoart to him all I know as to the lay of the land. He can’t come too soon to please me, though lam in no nuriy. I came here because 1 could do most good (as I supposed), and don’t want to stay, one miDu:e longer than that shall be tbe case. And, though others may be cleverer, there is no correspondent here who has done nearly as much work as 1 have this winter, except Simonton. and he has great advantages—first, in being always here; next, in being able to retreat to his den, where he is protected bv a barricade of women and children, while my room is the common resort of cigar-smoking, gossiping, political loafers. I began my letter about Washington's tomb after dinner yesterday, and it was close to midnight when I finished it, and had to take it to the Post Office, the hotel bag being gone, I could have written it in an hour and a half, but first came iu Pomeroy, '.ben Gen. Lane, then Wilson, then Gov. Robinson, beside others, ana it won’t do to turn such msn out of the house. So my time was taken up. And so it is from day to day. Now abort ferocity. Lam infavor of J it, judiciously applied. Perhaps Douglas iB a good subject, but every one is not. If it were practicable to “have a giant’s strength,” we must be careful not too often “to use it like a giant,” A blundering attack like that on Brenton destroys the force of our broadside when better directed. When you Bhow up an Albany Register you must consider whether you may not want to use that same—for a lawyer who Bhould make a very strong speech discrediting one of his own chief witnesses would not' be thought clever. And I charge you above all thipgs not to ailow anything to get in which seems impelled by hatred of the Soutn, or a desire to humiliate that section. On the contrary, ours is the course to renovate and exalt the South, and mus: be so commended. Every copy of that misjudged editorial showing how a British army might liberate the slaves and overrun the South, has been careiully treasured to make Loco Foco speeches on in the coming canvass, and I have been applied to lor more by men who did not imagine I knew what they were after. We must be “wise as serpents” this season, and make no enemy needlessly. 11 is by such articles as Weston’s “Poor Whites of the South,” and making the Kansas issue as prominent as possible, that we are to win a decisive" triumph. There are very many things I don’t begin to know, but I ought lo know something of party controversy.

I George Baker writes me that he has rged you to oppose any Excise law, if we can’t have Prohibition. I hope you have done nothing of the sort. I have no faith in Excise laws, but we must not take the responsibility of beating one. Let ns rather let one pass (sub silentio), so as to demonstrate more ciearly its worthlessness. I am disappointed at receiving no letter from Europe this week. Remember to hurry it along when one comes. Yours, Horace Gkkelky. C. A. Dana, N. York. XXVII. Washington, Mon,, April 7,1856. C. A. D : I went up to York, Pa., to lecture on Saturday, and could not get back till 6 this morning. Thank you for the promise of Pike Boon. lam unwell and tired of this hole. I hope he will come down on Saturday at furthest; then I will start on Tuesday and reach home on Wednesday. Ask him to please come down on Saturday if not earlier. And when here I think he must contrive to stay till the 17th of June. Why not? a greenhorn can be of no use here, aud Harvey can do us little good at the capitol. I guess Pike must stay. Now, as to your going away this summer: There are only two conditions to it. Somebody must do up Washington in your absence, and Fry must promise to stand by me and pull steadily in New York. I mean to be extra good this year, and rather doubtfui as to the next. So, if somebody will do us justice here, and Fry will really help me in Now York, all will be well. (I trust there is to be no opera in those months.) 1 guees you are about righf as to Bell Smith, except that she oouldn’t help being fount! out. Ae Oolfax said to her in my hearing, “Who else eonla have thought of puffing Pugh?” Djn’t you see that is a settler? All I regret is that you did not write to her on the receipt of her firßt that you would pay her So and so. It won’t do for me to be hiring correspondents, and I only Bpoke to her because you agreed to it. Better have a good understanding at the outset. But you dou’t write notes on such slender provocation as I do. I presume. Seward’s speech has been sen' you. if not, it snail be by this mail. - Now, I waDt to suggest one thing—the hiring ol Ewbank to examine every new invention th»t may be presented, ■nd eay something or nothing of it, as it deserves. If he has to leave his own house to do so. let those who require it pay him. Otherwise let him have stated Hours three or four times a week on

which any inventor may call on him , and let wnoever comes to the office be told: , “Mr. E. is our editor with respect to inventions. Go to him at o’clocx to-day or to-morrow and he will look into what yon have invented and write aboht it, if he deems it worth notice in Tbe Tribune.” We have never yet had this department on a right footing. Ewback’s retard to New York gives us a chaDce; now let it be done. 1 think he would do this for one thousand a year, writing a leader, a paragraph, or a mere line about a new invention, according and, it would be woith the money. Won’t you look into this? It would be a great relief to uh and a real improvement to the paper. Yours, H. G. P. S.—Contrary to what yon would suppose, Clayton was perfsctly Bober ana Bell atrociouelv drunk at the tune of their row in the Senate last Week Bell was a little worse when he undettook to apologiz,-, it poestble, than when he gave the insult. I made a mistake on Friday, Collamer sat down without concluding, while the Senate went on reading and referring bills. So I went into the House to hear Gen. Granger, after which Collamer resumed and conciuded. Collamer’s speech is better than Seward’s in my humble judgment. Yours, H. G.

TTtm Wash ngton. L>. C., April 9 1856. C. A. D.: I care nothing for Ewbank. If you have the right sort of man to scrutinize inventions, that is well. 2. I don’t want more space devoted to this subject. I presume quite enough is now given. But 1 do want inventions treated like other occurrences—with more or less emphasis, according to theirimportance, not treated as if a motive powerundft new currycomb were of equal consequence. There your present system is ueficient. If a man should invent a new locomotive that could be readily and profitably need in corn fields and on common roads, 1 should wish to see it announced in a leader on the very day after it was patented; wherea»*by your present method, it would probably appear the next month in a supplement, buried up under new raspberries and improved beehives. Is that the thing? lam totally disqualified to judge of the value ot Inventions in general; vou take little interest in them. I believe the history of human progress is written in them, and I want to see that history early and faithfully i effected in our columns. I want to have less and less to do with politics and more and more with productive Industry. I feel that the path of Empire—journalistic and ail other—stretches in this direction. Let us be first to act on this knowledge. It will win few subscribers to-day, but it will win character which may ultimately be coined, if that is deemed essential. Ido believe that onr Daily, with five years’ reputation as the first to recognize and Honor Inventive Genius, would be a far betterproperty than at present.

It does notiollow that we should give long accounts of new inventions. Ninetenths of those patented are worthies; Tfifee-fourths oT the residue are of little genersl interest. One oolnmn per week devoted to Inventions will satisfy me, provided the right man prepares it and has a clear idea of what he has to do — that he writeS'in the interest of the public and not of the patentees.

I telegraphed you yesterday about Fremont’s letter, and hope vou have it in this morning’s Tribune. It is a good letter in itself and will do good to Kansas. if not to Fremont. I do hope you will have it out soon, and that F. will withdraw his objection, if he has any. I mean to print it in next weekly anyhow, if not inthis. I wish yon could have printed Gen. Granger’s speech. It wilt lie greatly discussed hereafter, and has the immense merit of being short. Horace Greeley. C. A. D.

XXIX. Dana: Will yon please have an earnest talk with Craig? I went to the Senate yesterday on purpose to hear tbe additional Champion documents. On hearing them I saw that they needed to be sent over verbatim, and sent Harvey every way for Gobright to tell him to send them to the Associated Press. Harvey came to me and telegraphed to you on the subject. I found Gobright and urged him to do tbe right thing. He hesitated, but telegraphed to Craig. Craig answered that he need only send the substance. I saw Gobright again early in the evening and sa.w him again at 10 o’clock, and he assured me that he had sent all but a few unessential phrases, Ac. I could do no more with him as he was acting under orders from Craig. Now Harvey tolls me that you telegraphed at 11 to have the whole tent, over. Here is a heavy expense imposed on us by Craig’s presuming in New York to know more about documents of which he was ignorant than I did after hearing them. I consulted Gen. Webb, and obtained hiß confidence before acting. I want you to ask Craig whether I may not expect to be listened to in another contingency like this. Here are at least SSOO thrown away by three papers in telegraphing severally what should have gone to all. XXX. Washington, April 11th. Dana: My heart does not break easily, but these mail failures are hard to bear. On Tuesday, Henry Waldren, of Michigan, made a glorious speech. He is one of our best men, never spoke before, and probably will not again. I sat down and wrote a telegraphic dispatch, then a letter. Wednesday’s paper came, and no dispatch. I wrdte one of inquiry to you aud took it down to the office, when lo! they owned up that they bad mislaid and failed to send the dispatch till next morning! So the milk in that, cocoanut. was accounted for. “Well,” says I, “the next paper will bring along my letter, anyhow;” bnt that paper came last night and no letter, but instead of that a dispatch from you, sent after, saying tbat the letter only reached you yesterday. Now, I have myself carried every letter tj the post office this week—usually a little before midnight, and the letters are taken till five in the morniDg. So the fault can hardly be here. I am afraid vou fail to make a row with the New York post office when this sort of thing occurs. List night it was 1 o’clock when I took my letter to the office, and your dispatch gave me a dread that it might have been overlooked and delayed here. So I have been to the postmaster tnis

mcMlng, ana had the-office overhauled, and the letter has certainly gone. The only chance of failure is, says the P. M., that these late letters are made np into a special or extra package, and this: may be overlooked and left unripenFd at night in the New York office. Frav look to this. T:~. ~.'j. ... . Your dispatch about the Fremont letter is generally admired. I have not yet taken Bana’s opinion of it; but he has written me a note saying that he was mislead by A. B. James, aDd will keep out ol such ruts hereafter, Rather late, but very good. You can’t guess now old Butler gave it to me yesterday for that infernal article telling the British how to invade and conquer the South. No report can do justice to his venom. I will trv to keep such articles out of the Triouny hereafter. Oid Badger was sitting in the Senate all day yesterday. He must he “tickled to death” at the prospect of Pike’s return to this city. I irust vou have a supplement toniay. Thank Ctrey in my name for that article on Bowen. Albo whoever did the Joe Bonaparte, though it took up so much room. I mean to have a weekl» or fortnightly letter J rom the Patent Office ere long. Yours, H. G. Can’t you publish General Granger's Bpeecb? It is unique and very short.

XXXI. Dana: This letter is a sort of resume of mv last six. If you are crowded, and it in good part consists of repetitions, you may offe> it to Bonner or to some one else; and, if they don’t want- ts; keep it lor me. I shall write another on the gold mines. lam still inteht on curing my >ame leg. I shall not be able lo reach Laramie muc H before the firet of J uly. when I intended to be at Salt Like on the 4th. But I can do nothing with my leg while travelling. It was made by the corner of a «eat gouging into the side of my left just below the knee. It is now improving. (The End.)

WHAT THEY GET.
