To the Terre Haute School of Industiial .-Science, he gave, in real estate and funds $206,000, and to the Vigo County Orphan's Home, in notes and bonds, $150,000. Both tlieae institutions were founded by Mr. Kose. He is a member of the Board of the Industrial School, which accepted the donation, and returned acknowledgment in person. 1 he following is a copy of a letter delivered to him by a committee of the Board ol Managers of the Orphans Home. Chauncey Ro?e, Esq.

DEAR SIB At a meeting of th$ corporate members ol the Vigo county orphans' home, held this day, a cerainunlcation was received from yourself donating, in notes and bonds, one hundred ana fifty thousand dollars to the above named institution. The members, having directed their treasurer to execjte the

proper

receipt therefor, were unwil

ling to receive intrust this munificent gift without some expression of the,r high appreciation of the generosity which prompted it, and of the honor conferred upon them in permitting ihem to be the agents to execute the plans which your wise benevolence has suggested, and your large-hearted liberality has made possible of realisation. In behalf, therefore, of these gentlemen by whom we have been appointed for this purpose, and in behalf o! this community which is to enioy the benefits of the institution of which we are put in charge, and especially in behalf of the unfortunate ones who are to find in it the comforts and the care of a home, we beg you to accept as sincere and hearty, our assurances of esteem and of deep gratitude.

INDIANA LEGISLATURE.

Gilbert, of this Conn y, suggested for the Spe-kei* ip. rSpeeial Correspondence of the Cincinnati

UMOIU.J INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 28.

Tho legislature convenes one week from next Thursday, (Jan. 7, and for a month past the dilapidated briok pile, incorrectly called a state house, has been undergoing repairs and renevation in antttipation of the event. A majority of the members have already secured boarding places. The Hotel Bates will continue to be headquarters for both parties, as formerly, although the Occidental, on the epposite eorner of Washington and Illinois stseets, has become a powerful rival since its opening last spring. It is the oM Painter Hons*, enlarged,refinished and handsomely refurnished. A suite of two room# (one fronting on Washington or Illinois streei). including board for a gentleman and lady, corns from $7 to $9 per day at the Bates, and from $5 to $6 at the Occidental. The Mason House, a popular hotel, located two blocks further south on Illinois street, is also liberally patrontted by members of the legislature. Its pricti range lower even than thoee of the Oocidental. Only a few members will probably rent house? indwd, I have thus far heard of but oftt dofitg and he has simply taken the furnished honoe of afriendwho designs beisg absent during the legislative months.f^f

OROA5I7.ATIOI#r

Fro a present appearances much diffi culty will oe experienced in organising the house. There i* no democratic member elect whose qaalifications tor speaker arefo prominent as to entitle him to the place without a content. Judge David Turpie, of this city, is thought to be peculiarly fitted for the place, and nis claims are being urged by several papers in and out of Indianapolis. Being a resident of Indianapolis, however, country members will very likely look upon hisselecfion with dislavor. Joseph uilbert, of 'l'erre Haute, and JohnS Davis,

of New Albany, are also spoken of, and will doubtless command considerable strength among western and southern members The formei is president of the state Horticultural Society, and both are very pleasant gentlemen out their chances, like tho6e of Turpie, are by no means certain. It is not impossible that .the first three days pgs^ wuhout a speaker. tvtr t%m

It is a sad commentary upon eur boasted civilisation that the women of our times have degenerated in health and physique until they are literally a race of invalids—pale, nervous, feeble and back»ach, with only here and there a few noble exceptions in the persons .of the robust, buxom ladies characteristic of the sex in days gone by. By a very large experience, covering a period of years, and embracing the treatment of many thousands of cases of those ailments peculiar to women, Dr. Pierce, of the World's Dispensary, Buffalo, New Yoik, has perfected, by the combination of certain vegetable extracts, a natural specific, which he does not extol as a cure-all, but one which admirably fulfills a singleness of purpose, being a most positive and reliable remedy for those weaknesses and complaints that affect the woman »f the present dav. This natural specific compound is called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The following are among those diseases in which this wonderful medicine^ has worked cures as if by limbic and with a certainty never before attained by any medicines: Weak back, nervous and general debility, falling and other displacements of internal organs, resulting from debility and lack of strength in natural supports, internal fever, congestion, inflammation and ^ulceration, and very many other chronic diseases incident to women, not proper to mention kere, in which, as well as in the cases that have been enumerated, the Favorite Prescription effects cures—the marvel of the world. It will not do harm in any state or condition of the system, and by adopting its use the invalid lady may avoid that severest of ordeals—the consulting »f a family physician. Favorite Prescription is sold by dealeis in medicines generally

why? v*

Because it is full strength, consequently fifty per cent, cheaper than any otber Powder sold.

It requires less quantity. Contains no injurious acids, '""v! Is warranted cheintoally pure. Will make better, lighter and more nutritious Biscuits, Rolls, Muffins, Pastry, Puddings, etc., thun made from fermented yeust.

The Champion, wherever introduced, has taken the lead with all lovers of pure and economical articles, and lias given universal satisfaction, as is being acknowledged a

You get what you pay for.

IIedges' Champion Baking Powder

Will make twenty pounds more bread from a barrel of flour than can be done by any other Baking Powder.

No time required f»r dough to rise, but bake in a hot, quick oven, as soon as mixed. Hedges' Champion saves Eggs, Shorten* inc. Milk, etc.

The efficacy of its worth, in this respect, can be tested by the following delicate cake recipe:

Two coffee cups white sugar and one-half cup butter, one coffee cup cold water, three cups of flour, whites of four eggs, three teaspoons HEDQES' CHAMPION BAKING POWDER, one and a half teaspoonful Hedges' Concentrated extract Vanilla.
