Of this Paper are published. The FIRST EDITION, on Friday Evening, has a large circulation in the surrounding towns, where it la sold by newsboys and agents. The SECOND EDITION, on Saturday Even 1 ng, goes into tbe bands of nearly every reading person in the city, and tbe farmem of this immediate vicinity. Every Week's Issue is, in fact,

TWO NEWSPAPERS,

In which all Advertisements appear for ONE CHARGE.

SIMPSON WOOLLEN.

The case of young Woollen, who, during tbe past week, bas been convict* ed of the crime of murder, and sentenced to the penitentiary for life, deserves more than a passing notice. Tbere are some facts connected with the career of this young man which should give the lessons which it teaches, a peculiar force with tbeyoang men and boys of this cit3'.

In the first place it enforces tbe truth that no favorable circumstances of birth, or position, can ensure against a descent to the verv lowest condition of vice and Crime. So far as parentage, early training, and good connection, are concerned, tbere was notbiug wanting in the case of youug Woollen. A better man than was his father, or one more generally respected, does not walk our streets. No more honorable or respected citizens are tbere in our city, than the immediate relatives of this young man. So well and favorably known are they, that not one particle oi disgrace attaches to them on account of tbe course of this wayward member of their honored family. It does not seem strange that the gamin of our streets, accustomed to the atmosphere of vice from their earliest days, should become great criminals But it does seem strange that one, reared in the midst of good influenoes, and under affectionate watchfulness and care, should so early in life sink to such a degraded position as that in which this young man is. He may not be guilty of the crime charged, as the evidenco was entirely circumstantial. Yet if he is not, it does not weaken the force of what we have said, for his connection with it oame direetly from his evil associations and practices. When public attention was called to him by the indiotment for this crime, he was fonnd an habitual occupant of one of tbe lowest and filthiest dens of infamy in this city, and surrounded by tbe vilest men and women. In the evidence bo is traoed through the lowest houses, and is found in familiar association with the worst men, and with women demanding of him "treats" at the public bar. In fact it is seldom that a case in our courts reveals so much of the lowest and most repulsive forms of vice. While tb* fact that one with such parentage and relations has fallen Into a condition so low, does not justify the idea that parental training and care are of little value,—for tbe thing which surprises and shocks us is this strange feature of tbe esse-—it does warn against confidence in these to proteet from following the downward path to the most fearful and repulsive depths of vloe and crime. Position and early training amount to little if the evil path is'once taken. In fact the very effort necessary to break away from these, naturally causes th\ one breaking away, aa in this case, to run to greater lengths in evil, and to make the ccarso shorter and more terrible. The path of vioe, if onoe entered, is, in some respects, more dangerous to tbe well-trained than to those without training. It is a most dangerous thing for one to cast off ail the restraints of early moral instruction.

Neither can tbe course of this young man be ascribed to any peculiar natural depravity. It K^-voetimes thecase that even in good i-. -..ikies, children are born with a predisposition to evil, which stem* to make a) moat certain and inevitable a life of crime. In such cases tbe evil bent is manifested in the earliest dtp, Hud ail through youth. Bat some of us, who are yet young, remember this prisoner when he was a sprightly and popular carrier-boy, who won from all who knew bin the high encomium of "fine boy." And even after his evil career, his face bears the impress of a good nature. Stranger* in the court room, ss the prisoner was pointed out, said, "Why be has a good free." Probably no mors repulsive future 3uid have bean presented to this young man when he was a boy, than that of a home in the Clark House with all its vile Inhabitants, ita cursing, brauling, fighting, drunkenness and licentiousness. Probably few boys or young men in oar city to-day would shrink fro ni such a home with greater horror, or more positively refuse to believe tht tbey could ever cotae to choose snch a piaoe to live in. than would Sim Woollen ten or fifteen year* since. Bat tb* tonne of vice onoe entered, tbe descent has been quick, and he Is to-day, wbat the "fine boy" conld never have believed it possible for kin to become. No matter of bow many good Iraitsaboy maynafcarailybesweassaed, a vidooa court* wilt very qalckty and tboroagbly wipe them outt sod put other* intbeir pieces.

Tbe ruin of ytmvtg W^oltea was wrought by tbe common luua, tbe

TEKKE-HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL. FEBRUARY 14. 1874.

twin vices of intemperance and licentioasoeas. His case is a most fearful warning against taking tbe first step in tbe way of either of these vices. It seemed a little thing for the boy to break away from restraints of home and conscience to visit now and then the more respectable, haunts of vice, and indulge in an oecauiocal glass, or have a "high time" once ins while. But it was the entrance upon a path quickly leading to association with the outcasts of society, and to a crime which forfeits his liberty for life. This is not a case in which one bas been overcome by sadden and overpowering temptation, or of one betrayed by heat of passion bnt it is the case of one going down step by step the terrible, but frequented path, by which lust leads ber victims. Tbe end naturally follows the beginning. It is not a safe path in which to take the first step. They who, for the fun of it, turn aside to vice, who "sow their wild oats," are in danger of going to tbe end. There is no sadder signt than that of a noble boy brought to ruin. Tbe caee of 8hn Woollen ought to be a warning to every one who to any degree is turning aside to vicious practices. Once in the current, and it bears down with tremendous force. Vice trifled with, by a quick and unexpected tarn, becomes master, and then the end of it none can forteli.

VAN PELT, the Ohio saloon keeper who, on being let out of jail, accepted an invitation to attend a temperance meeting and make a speech in defense of his business, and who, wbeu tbe ladies visited his saloon, insisted upon having a share ia tbeir devotions and offered three long prayers for the intruders, and afterwards, when they met on the side walk, delivered sermons to them, finally capitulated. He knocked in the boads of his whisky barrels, signed the pledge, became converted, and is now traveling with Dr. Dio Lewis and delivering temperance lectures, and showing up the evils of drinking and selling liquor* At one time he argued that because God put the liquor in the corn, he intended that men should get it out and drink it." Now he turns about and says that the fact tint there is arsenic enough in peaches to kill a man "is nosoundfreason why man, because Qod has put brains into his head, that he could do it, that he should distil this arsenic out to kill the human race off the face of the earth." Evidently Van Pelt is game whether saloon keeper or temperance lectu-T.

THE res 'ts of the political campaign in Englanr are settled. Gladstone and tbe Liber a are thoioughly defeated, and tbe C"nservu.ives win. The only question uuw relates to the time when Gladstone will resign, whether at once, or at tbe meeting of Parliament. It is no doubt pleasanter for him to be out of office and free from responsibility, than to bold his position with a Parliament out of sympathy with him, and liable at any time to defeat his measures, and always ready to throw obstacles in his way. His dsfeat indicates that it was wise for him to refase longer to contend with a doubtful Parliament. Now tbe reapodsiblllty rests with the Conservatives, and there is but little doubt that this is the best means for the Liberals, by which to return to popular favor again. The world doe» move despite these backsets. And when the Liberals oome into power again, as they are bound to do sooner or later, it will be with increased strength.

TJHB "Spirit" warfare seems to have come to an end. The question, "If it is not spirits wbst is It?" does not shut the mouths of the skeptics since Baldwin showed bow easily it was all done, and since the Spiritualists have shown themselves so afraid to have him too uear lest he should '"break the conditions." Those "conditions" are awfully brittle things. They get broken "powerful" easy—by some people. We must again advise our spiritualist friends to Import another class of spirits. The "digger injun" did well tor awhile till Church was caught at bis tricks, and then its usefulness was destroyed. Cabinet performers did pretty well till Mrs. Stewart was caught at Chicago by sharp spiritualists, and tben all ber tricks were duplicated with improvements by Baldwin, and Sallie Cooper told bow it was done. Next,

SONS of tbe papers raised quite a halaoaloo over a letter of Dr. Dio Lewis, offering to oome to Ohio and work op tbe temperance movement, tor {SO, Certainly it can be no great sin for a man to expect the temperance people of tbe State in which he Is to labor, to pay his traveling expenses. If Dr. Dio gets through tbe campaign committing no greater sin or blonder than this, be will prove himself a

very

discreet man.

Besides it now appears that he has given up series of lecture engagement* at $100. per night to engage in this work. The Doctor may not be over wise, bat be Is evidently both in earnest and boneet.

VAN PKLT says the liquor dealers of Cincinnati offered to supply him with liquors free of cost for one year if be would hold out against the ladies.

THE Springfield Republican begins an article on the Ohio women-whisky war, tnos: "When thoa prayest enter into thy cloeet, and not into thy neighbor's saloon.

JCX.ES MICHKLJET, a well known French author, whose books have been translated into English, and very generally read in this country, died in Paris, on Tuesday of this week.

THE Indianapolis Journal, in noticing the atrike of the hat and cap makers, and of the boot and shoe makers, says that we can go bare-headed and bare-footed, but pathetically begs the pantaloon makers not to strike.

IT IS said that tbe party which has recently carried the election in England, has been victorious only once before In forty four years. Tbe old "party backs," if tbey havo such things over there, ought to be out of the way by this time.

ON* by one our liberties are snatched from us, and slowly, but surely, are the coils of a relentless despotism wound about us. A bill has been introduced into the Ohio Legislature to fine and imprison persons who adulterate milk.

CHABQKS of corruption against Senator Booth, of California, having been made, a committee is busy investigating. So far nothing damaging to him has been elicited, and we'll bet our bottom dollar Jhat Newton Booth isn't that kind ef a man.

THE Sebool Board of Boston votpd to exclude the ladies who had been elected to places on the Board, by a vote of 46 to 39. Tbe citizens Id indignation meetings and denounced the action of the Board in unmeasured terms, and the result was to make tbe said Board all the stronger against the admission of women, a motion to reconsider the firmer action being lost by a vote of 67 to 25. Indignation meetings at the Hub seem to have a "back action" attachment sometimes.

BKN BUTLEB made one ,of his spicy explanations on Tuesday* in which he went for" the reportem 'sbarp. He seems to enjoy fighting the press of the country, and the other representatives enjoy hearing him say what tbey desire but do not dare to say, and, upon the whole, tbe newspaper men seem to enjoy it as much as the other parties. Certainly few mon have greater reason £o hate tbe newspapers than this said Ben, and few men have given tbe newspapers, or tbe public generally, more or. better reasons for disliking tkeui.

A VERY strenuous effort fs tSfrlog made at Washington to get the management of Indian affairs out of tbe bands of the religious bodies having them in charge. The "stealings" are too good to be lost to tbe old time Indian agents, and hence tbe effort to get tbem back again. Some of the men who are working for the change are doubtless honest, but many are simply mad because they cannot get at tbe booty. It Is not probable that the present management of Indian affairs is perfect, but it Is not only prdbable, but quite certain, that it is better than for maoy years, and is rapidly Improving.

FASHIONS? FANCIES.

From a fashion srticle in the St. Louis Sunday Republican, we extract these items:

A most elegant plainness characterises the present style of dress, and is in keeping with the rich materials employed.

Breakfast oaps tor ladles are now made In the same shape as tbe Normandy caps worn by little girls.

Wbst is dressing well, If it is not following tbe fashions? We answer, It may consist in adopting the latest fashion, or in modifying it, or in absolutely rejecting it, according to its sentiment, or its suitability to individual style.

Nothing but sickness, deep distress of mind, or the direst poverty, can excases woman from the duiy of neatness snd becsmingness in her attire.

Without a knowledge of the prevailing styles, a woman ia apt to uiake a fright of herself. To dress prettily does not require monev aa much as taste and information as to what is tbe latest fashion.

In tbe eyes of a trtie msn a well-pro-portioned, suitably-dressed womsn is the most beautiful of all crested being*. The style and quantity of dress constipating suitableness will vary with the ci

ream

stances of each esse and tbe rela­

tions of tbe parties. Sometimes it should be elabor*te,someti mes simple sometimes consisting of many garments, sometimes of very tow.

Young ladies wear tnlle skirts, covered to the belt with puffs and pieatIngs. The over-skirt is then made of two long, square breadths of satin,open In front, hanging smoothly on the sides and drawn backward in the fesbton of tbe demi-polonaise. Tbe waist is basque of satin with telle sleeves made of puffs round tbe arms. French dreeses of latest of importation have tbe basque and over-skirl trimmed with rows of hanging loops, like those on the beaatifm brktsd draw worn Nilsson ss Valeetirs in tbe opera of The Huguenots. The rolled cap above tbe sleeves and the doable pointed raff of tbe cavalier costume are also much worn.

The ftsbfons In boots aad shoes ara ondereoiDf a considerable alteration, inasmuch ss tbe high Loots XV. heels are suppressed, snd are Mw raitriy seen with evening tolleta. Walking boo» are made with broed, flat heels, snd of kid, tbe only ornament being a festoon of black silk stitching. Useful boots for ordinary occasions ars made with square toes bat for dressy toilets tbe corners ara rounded off, whtatb makes *b« boot look smaller.

THE MOTHER'IN-LA W. Thackeray says, in one of his novels, that there actually is a period daring an courtship, when be imagines be loves bis motber-in-Iaw. By tbisf oar author implies that she is man's natural enemy. But the low estimation in which Thackeray holds ber, is owing, no doubt, to the unselfish love with which the English mother watches over the pecuniary interests of her daughter, while the high contracting parties are discussing the momentous questions relating to dower, pin-mon-ey, Ac.,—questions always very distasteful to John Ball. On this side of the water, we wait till the dissoluble knot is tied, before we make up our miod to hate her.

Nsv, were mother-in-law complications careftally packed away with the domestic skeleton, they might be, at least, endured with philosophical resignation, but the newspaper has long ago overturned our Penates, and dragged tbe motber-in-law from lior sacred seclusion, to bind ber to its columns for the amusement of the world. Tbe different versions given to Washington's love of truth, In connection with bis little hatchet, however ridiculously they may be set forth cannot produce illfeeling. They may, possibly, provoke a smile, or a passing regret that the good little boy anecdote, the delightful legend of our early years, should be so basely used. But when a newspaper, with business-like brevity, informs its readers that an excited man during a fire, threw his mother-in-law out of tbe window,but carried a feather-bed safely down stairs, we are assured that a thrill Of fiendish joy is very apt to be experienced by many a man whose feelings toward his wife's mother, can only be compered to Sinbad's when compelled to carry abodt the little old man of tbe island.

On the other hand, can a motber-in-Iaw read such cold-blooded attrocitics without gradually acquiring in her inmost being,an intense feeling of hatred and oontempt for tbe opposite sex, in general, and her own Sinbad, in particular With what satanic delight does Sinbad read at the breakfast-table about that Russian who, being pursued by'wolves while returning home in a sieigh accompanied by bis bride and tnother-ln law, gradually fed her out to the yelling pack, and thereby reached home in safety! Such whimsical oonoeits, in themselves, are enough to raise disturbances, and widen tbe family breach. But a champion bas entered the literary lists, who covers the mother-in-law with a poetlo shield,and asks no favors of tbe press. Orsamus Charles Dake is his name, snd be demolishes the newspaper msn in the following high-toned manner, to the intense disgust of the San: They, quite too often, are the acum of men— The very scum of men who give ui news, They And a strange delight at publishing The unsa tory scandals that disgrace the times— Clippings from far and near. The faithless Tlie^echerous husband, and the prostitute Are all paraded lnclose-oolumned tilth, With gloating sneers of comment. Scarce a word, A piteous word for fallen women's crime.

At last we find a man whe evidently likes his mother-in-law! Why do some men hate tbeir mother-in-laws? This is tbe question. Let us

at it dispassionately, and answer it if we can Firstly—The mother-in-law is an experienced woman, and believes with David that "all men are bears."

Secoudly—She cannot be hoodwinked snd Thirdly—She intends that her daughsr shall be as wise as she is herself.

Vainly are the ennning arts of the young husband practised before her experienced eye. She looks through him, and takes his moral measure intuitively. She knows bow many times each month bis lodge meets. Plausible excuses about business arrangemenu, which detain him down town till tbe "wee sma' btars," snd send blm home staggering with over-work, and smelling strongly of cardsmoa seeds, sre swept away in sn instant. She knows whenoe his morning headache proceeds. Night work, invoicing st the store, indeed! She knows something.

didn't live with man for

twenty yeara tor nothing,—oh, dear,no! If tbe bscbelor reader can pat himself in this unfortunate's place, he may, perhaps, have bint ideaof tbe demoniac longings, and murderous findings, which such exposure and incredulity are sure to engender in the soul for msn is bat mortal after ail, snd nothing angers bitn more, than to be told tbe plain truth about himself. And it fssoeb revelations which sharpen the perceptions of tbe daughter, so thst when tbe proper Ume arrives, she can In tarn, sesame tbe rote of inqnisitorgeneral, and thread without hesitation tbe snsky labyrinths of man's mind.

Bat now we most consider snother branch of our sabject-tbe husband's mother.

Strange as it may appear to tbe anprejudiced reader, tbe faot that the marriage relation evolves two mother* in-laws into existence, is wholly overlooked even by tbe newspaper paragraphia*! Still, it tea solemn fact.

We have carefully examined tbe case of tbe wife's mother, sad tbe only motive to ber eternal vigilance that we can detect, is nothing mors or less than Lova. Whence this teasel see wslebfulness and sapernatoral penetration

Love, Ail tor her darling girl, Tor whose welfare and happiness she wonld unhesitatingly flu» the——bat, ^never miod. And yet some men who love tbeir wives, blindly hate their darling's guardian angel!

But all this is mere child's play compared to the' situation of the wife, doomed to gradual petrificatioa beneath the glare of the unsatiable gorgon who thinks no girl good enough for her darling boy. The husband may flee from Jtat mother-in-law, and solace himself "down town" in the manner most congenial to his tastes and habits but the wife muat stand her ground, and bear ap as beat she may, under the scornful pity and contemptuous treatment of her lord's mother. For a time, she may meekly endure her martyrdom—for is it not Aw mother? The gorgon cuts off tbe supplies, and carries the keys. Terrible is the commotion and dreadful are the oonsequences when tbe outraged wife asserts hersolf for out goes the tormentor, If she Is not willing to eat humble-pie in the future.

There are cases, of course, in which the man sides with his mother but we write only of those who love their wives the other husbands are married not mated.

Were it possible to keep the two mother-in-laws beneath the same roof, peace might be maintained ky the opposing forcas neutralising eaob other. But when we speculate upon the terrible consequences which might result from this association of oppositelycharged temperaments, the human mind is nq£ equal to the task—oaunot grasp tbe subject—and looses itself in tbe immensity of the idea we oan only say,."It is one of them things a fellah can never find out, you know."

Taking everything into consideration, we think the wife's mother a very illused woman, for to tb*i steady man she is a treasure, a pearl beyond all price Look among your acquaintances for tbe steady man who boards his moth-er-in-law, and you will find him a happy fellow. No impudent servants there

no

exorbitant grocery bills, tors

keen eye watches the tea and sugar. The baker quails, and the butober-boy stops Ms heart rending whistle, in her august presence while the milkman trenibles,oach morning with apprehension, lest she detect the watered stock with which he floods the market. This man with the coals gives full weight, and tbe honest granger sees to It thst bis cord of stove-wood shall measure exactly one hundred and twenty-eight oublc feet.

And when, in the course of human eventa, work ia made for the next census marshal, then the wife's mother shines forth in all tbe majesty of her position—the oracle whose words are eagerly drunk in and treasured up by new-fledged fathers, and whose orders are as blindly executed aa are those the Autocrat of all the Russlas.
