The enemies of the President may censure pome of his acts and tastes, but none are so bold as to question his integrity. He is an honest man, and in those days of individual corruption, that is a quality worth mentioning. For the Chief Magistrate of a great people to be strictly honest, is an important point gained in the proper government of that people. Xo man can be a good Chief Magistrate, who is not honest. Honor and honesty are essential requisites. In these two quali-l!cations-ut least, our President, stands deservedly high.

Ottr City.

A correspondent of the LaFayeite patch writing for that paper, speaks in this wise of this city

TURK 13 lIAUTi:,

The fourth largest city in the State. The epidemic known as the census, which has recently swept away so many of the population of cities of larger pretensions, left Terre Haute with about 10,500 souls. I could not speak in too glowing terms of this beautiful prairie city. It's visible, almost daily, growth, is sure to bring it still higher*upon the list, when the next ten years rolls around. Now Albany may brag and the little town on the Ohio below Newbury may puff and blow, but Terre Haute will ever lead them in all branches of trade and commerce. In addition to the costly and numerous business blocks which have been erected this season, a largo and magnificent Opera House, the finest in the West—is rapidly being pushed forward to completion, and will'be thrown open to the public about tho first ol'January next.

Dowling Hall, which has lately been enlarged, for beauty of appearance cannot be excelled by any public hall of its size in tho United States. The scenery and frcseoeing was done by imported artists, and cost thousands of dollars. The stage and seating capacity has been enlarged, and as the nightly rent is set at a low figure, it is bound to prove the most popular place for exhibitions in tho city. There is quite a lively competition going on among the dry goods merchanta at present the columns of the newspapers arc filled with their large advertisements, which are getting to bo quite personal, consequently the rivals occasionally meet on the street corners and punch one another on the nose. Four daily papers are published here—tho t:cttc, Journal, Express and Volksblatt, dl good newspapers.

The Administration.

Senator Trumbull, one of the ablest men of the times, and on independent thinkers, in he made a few «I..ys ago at Springfield, Illinois, uses the following language in relation to President (*ranl:

mention tho Saturday Evening Mail, published by Maj. O. J. Smith. Terre ilatite, besides its numerous railroads and railroad shops, has some very large manufacturing establishments, among which is a large blast furnace, which is in operation night and day, and at night illuminates tho prairie lor miles around also the ^reat nail works. Enough nails are turned out hero ill one week to "nail up'' tho whole State. This has been the greatest building year Torre Haute has ever known. Dwelling houses are in such demand that it is difficult to find the mechanics to

on tliem. I liavo lately

visited Xew Albany, EvansA'ille, Richmond and other cities that have been blowing a great deal, but my candid opinion is, not one of them can compare with Terre Haute.

This correspondent only expresses Avliat i.s believed by every one who visits our city." We arc on the high road to prosperity. All of our interests are advancing. The iron furnace now in full operation, and Avhich Avas regarded as an experiment, lias already proven to be a grand success. Mr. Crawford, one of its owners, and a gentleman of extensive experience in the iron business of Pennsylvania, gives it as his opinion, that it Avill pay as Avell, if not better than any furnace in the iron regions of that State. The easy access to our splendid block coal fields, and its cheap transportation, owing to the liberality of our railroads, makes this a point Avhera iron be made, at as little cost pound, as anywhere else in the United States. Every day proves the great excellence of our block coal for this purpose. Xo coal CA'er found on the continent excells it for blasting. Being entirely from. sulphur, it is taken from sthe mines and poured into the furnace "without the process of cokelng, and produces the pig iron from the ore, in the largest quantities and of the, best quali

can per

There is no mistaking the importance of this element of our prosperity. Tfc will make Tcrre Plaute large city, and in comparatively a short time.

No wonder the throng upon our streets, and the general business and prosperity which are to be seen everywhere, strikes the stranger so favorably.

TIi«) Youth of the Day.

In a book entitled Lilliput Lcvec, there is a poem descriptive of what the little folks will do iftliey should ever happen to come into power in this blundering world. Apparently, there is a general feeling among our juvenile population that the time for their uprising and final triumph is near at hand. Their progresshas been so rapid that, even in the nursery, their elders have little to teach them and the boy of the period, before he is well into his teens, is an adept in

nearly

all the knowledge of older heads.

About a year ago he v.-as arrested for taking to the road with a comrade and a horse-pistol, and trying to levy toll on the the commonwealth in true ion. And now his ameaciied such a height that nothing will satisfy him but to overturn the Government itself and inaugurate the reign of Topsy-turvy in the Kingdom of Lilliput.

At least, that we take to be the meaning of the formidable demonstration reported from Xashua, ]S. H. There a band of youthful desperadoes has lately been discovered, and happily broken up just as they were about starting on a wild career of rapine and revolution. The youngest filibuster was eight, the oldest twelve. They were completely organized and equipped they had oiie hundred dollars in their treasury, two guns, two kegs of powder, a number of revolvers, and several dark lanterns. When discovered they seem to have mirrendered unconditionally perhaps, like the Fenians in their late trimphant invasion of Canada, they believed in living to fight anothdr day. Now that the peril is averted, we may look back, not without relief, on the possible consequences of their audacity. Of course we do not for a moment credit the theory Which limits their intentions to vulgar plunder. We are persuaded they had deeper and

the evil to the very opposite reason. It is the want of any control over the young which is leading to their depfaviity. The only theory oh which too many of them are brought up is, that they must do as they like. They are never made to understand what discipline means, or to discriminate between right and wrong. Can we wonder that under such circumstances the annals of crime should be so terribly darkened with the names of the young?— A". Y. Time's.

Strasbourg (Sept. "0) Correspondence London Times. -Ef-

Doom oil Paris—Horrors in Kcscr feet of Prussian Shells. I saw, from the outside, the fire that was kept up against Strasbourg during the few days that preceded its fall, J.c Courrirr da Jicis h'hin, Avhicli Avas published until the very day on Avhich the white flag was hoisted, gives a brief account of the effect the lire produced within. "It seemed," it says in its number for September 27, "impossible that tho danger to our city could increase, or that more terrible engines of war could be employed" than those Avhieh our besiegers had already brought into use. Last night, however, they proved to us that we had not yet seen the end of their resources, for they fired incendiary shells upon us from incredible distances. These shells, Avhich Aveigh more than fifty kilogrammes (some of them Aveighed 150 pounds), contain several kilogrammes of powder, and are furnished Avith a fuse which burns during the passage of the projectile, and makes it burst at the end. The enemy fired a certain number of these shells from Schiltigheim, or from the batteries of La Kotondo as far as the Grande Hue, the line du Bain aux Plantes, the Iiue de la Fontaine and Les Ponts Converts. The shells were to be seen rising slowly in the air, then rushing headlong toward the ground. A frightful noise followed their fall upon the houses, in which they caused terrible ravages. One of them pierced three stories and burst in the cellar others knocked down and smashed entire buildings, pulverizing Avhatever they touched. The German newspapers

spoke

lately of two monster mortars placed by the besiegers before our Avails. They are evidently the two mortars which throw projectiles to a distance not hitherto attained by any artillery. Serious misfortunes marked last night and the evening that preceded it. The victims, killed and Avounded, arc ATery numerous. At the Mearis-Kageneck there Avas a frightful catastrophe. In the Maison Mehl, situate close to the Saverne quarter, two projectiles fell almost at the same time, killed six persons and wounded twelve. In the Bue du Bain aux Plantes four persons were Avounded in one house. In the fabourgs there were victims, as there are CATory night. How long the list will be of ail'these ruins and all these deaths!"

Ax immense demand for breadstuff's is anticipated from both France and Prussia immediately after the close of the war, and American grain-growers and factors naturally look for a large share in the profit. They need not, however, expect to monopolize it, since thepreparations in JRussia to meet this demand are said to be on a A'astscale. A letter from Odessa, bearing date Sept. S, says that the quantity of cereals stored at that point, and awaiting the close of hostilities, is great beyond all precedent. British capitalists are said to haAre embarked extensively in the speculation. It is not unreasonable to hope that American interests may be furthered by the prospective demand for breaustuffs but the facts we mention clearly indicate the danger of over estimating this advantage.

An amusing story is told of a hackman at Newport, R. I.—a zealous Methodist, by the way—who last year donned the Quaker coat and broad brim, and meeting the drab colored visitors at the depot, meekly asked, "Will thee have a carriage?" Glad to patronize a brother, as he expected, they filled up his vehicle immediately, when, to the amusement of the bystanders, ho drawled out, "Where's thou's baggage?" It is needless to say tbatthe trick Avasseen through by the occupants, who left liim in disgust and the funniest part of it is that to this day he can't imagine how they found him out.

SMUGGLING EXTRAORDINARY.

A Speculator Cleverly in Diamonds Caught.

In the limes of last Friday morning appeared a four line item to the effect that John Parks had been arraigned be fore United States Commissioner Heyne charged Avith smuggling diamonds. The case, which Avas continued in bail of §2,000, came up again on yesterday before the same Commissioner.

The man Parks, a gaily dressed young fellow, Avas present in the Commissioner's office, as Avere the Avitnesses in the case He plead not guilty to the charge, and said he had material Avitnesses Avho were absent from the city. The government detectives gave their testimony in part, which, however, Avas of so important a nature that Commissioner Hoyne felt it his duty to increase the bail bonds to $3,000.

From Captain Harrington, one of the detectives in this case, this much is learned of the modus operandi under which Parks

Avorks:

The prisoner has

carried on his operations principally in South America. He wears several rings on his finger which are made to contain several diamonds each. Before leaA'ing South America these rings were set Avith diamonds, and Avhen undergoing an inspection at tiie hands of ihe custom-house officials, on his arriAral in this country, he managed to escape detection by turning the ring?, on his fingers so that the jewels Avould be out of sight.

Mr. Parks arrived in Chicago last week, and it was not long before the government detectives Avere shadowing his every moA'ement. One day Captain Harring'ton invited Parks to take'a drink, and the two stepped into a neighboring saloon. Here it Avas that the Captain discovered the secret of the rings, in which some of the dimonds Avere already gone. When Captain Harrington called his companion's attention, to this fact, he showed great confusion,* and shortly afterwar-T flung aAvay a memorandum book. This Avas subsequently discovered by an officer, and in it Avas founc! a complete memorandum of the fellow's transactions as a smuggler. He was then arrested. In his possession were found several thousand dollars' worth of diamonds and other valuable jewels.
