Miss Lena Leimd,a young lady residing in Panola, Miss., died very suddenly on Thursday, Dec. 20, just one hour before the time set for her w««. ding.

Surratt was-advertised to leeturo in Richmond, Alexandria and Lynchburg, but failed to appear at the time announcer]," very little to the disappointment of the few persons assembled.

Eugeno Conriney, heretefore well esteemed among New York merchants, was committed to jail, on Saturday, on a charge of perjury, in swearing that his liabilities were not over §t00, when they were actually over $.}:,000.

A Chicago paper estimates that 5,000 ladies received calls in that city on New Year's Day, and that the average number of'-alts on each was seventy-live,making t-ho whole number of calls 375,000. And Chi'-ago estimates are a 1 a ys trustworthy.

The venerable Rev. Win. Wesner, D. I)., formerly of Ithaca, N.

Among them were Associate Justices Davis and Clifford, Gen. Banks and several members of Congressional Delegations, F. P: Blair, Sr., together with the Secretary of the Interior, and Judge Otto. Tho work is pronounced a great success.

There is a story afloat in New York, at the expense of a soul of tho well-known politician and oflicer-holder, E. D. Webster, who is now interested in Standard. Webster, it seems, don't believe in tiie soul's existence, and was, upon one occasion, struggling very hard toconvinco the ex-editor, John Svvinton, men have no souls. "Well, well," said Swinton at last, impatiently, "we've had enough of this let us compromise the matter. I am willing to admit that you, at least, have no son!." Webster disappeared agitated.

Rumors of another journalistic duel on tho tapis come from New York. Colonel James B. Mix, of the Tribune, incensed at some statements of his bibulous propensities afid his original way of procuring boots, detailed in the Sun, is reported to have hurled a challenge at the head of the bland and spectacled Dana, defying him.to mortal coinbat. Ot course tho inevitable interviewer sought out the parties, but met instead, at the Sun office, Mr. Amos J. Cummaigs, who remembered that Mr. Dana did "casually allude to the necessity undor which lie had lately been placed of kicking oil' his front stoop an emissary of tire warrior Mix," an.! at the Tribiuie'olX\co no one could throw li^ht on the subject. When or. where the affair is to come oil', or what the weapons, appears to bo vailed in mystery.

How to. Prevent Colds.

If the bowels are constipated and the other excretory organs overworked and weakened by the eli'ort to throw oil" the excess of food, the person is far more liable to colds and to oti.er diseases as well. i. Avoid hot, stimulating, and acholic drinks of every kind. The tciulonev of all is to weaken. a." Always have your sleeping-room woil ventilated.

An Aimless Life.

I committed one fatal error in my youth, and dearly have I abided it. '.started in life without an object, even Without au ambition. My temperament -disposed me to ease, and to thi_full I indulged thedisposition. 1 said to myself: -"I have all that I see others contending J'or why should I struggle?" I knew not the curselhat lights on those who hive never to struggle for anything. Had I created for myself a definite pursuit— literary, scientific, artistic, social, political, no matter what, so there was something to labor for and to overcome—I might have been happy.

I feel this now—too late The power is gone. Habits have become chains. Through all the profitless years gone by Xsdek vainly for something to remember with pride, or even to dwell on with satjsfiction. I have thrown away a life. I fee', sometimes, as if there were nothing remaining to me worth living for. I am ftu unbapny man.—Robt. Dale Owen,

TIIF, old gentleman, of whom we made mention some days since of having been bitten by fi sava: cur when passing up Eleventh street, brought suit against the owner of this piece of biting propeltt. The case was tried before Justice /jenas Smith, who imposed a fine of £10 upon the defendant. Moral: Don't keep such dogs about your.premises, for "it won't pay."

As incipient fire was "squelched" yesterday in tlic office of T. J. Forrest, corner Third and Ohio streets. Mi. F. built a fire and went away from the office when some of the coals fell out of the door and tired the floor, which was discovered by a gentleman, whose name we could not learn, but whose timely arrival doubtless saved an entire block from destruction. By bis prompt and effectual action, the flames were subdued before any serious damage resulted.

One Frank Norton was arrested last night by Officer Vandever, on Third street, charged with carrying concealed weapons and also, with disorderly conduct. Tho weapon that he carried was a rather wicked looking pair of cast iron "knucks" which looked as though they would make a healthy man feel quite melancholy if he should run his head against them. The officers say that Norton is in the habit of carrying concealed weapons. Vanderver lodged the accused in jail until this morning, when he was brought out and taken before Justice Smith, who dismissed the charge ot carrying concealed weapons, and only fined him SI and costs on the charge of disorderly conduct.

RUNAWAY.—A couple of horses attached to a two-horse buggy owned by Messrs. Syfers, Trader & Co., and driven by Mr. Tony Blake, became frightened by the breaking of the harness when on Ohio street this morning, and went dashing up Seventh at a rapiu rate, the traces detached and the fiery steeds drawing the vehicle by the lines which were in the hands of Mr. Blake, who, with feet placed firmly against the dash-board, was displaying the strength of hercules, in trying to hold them, without avail. On they sped at-a lightning speed until they "brought up" against a fence, at the cross roads somewhere in the suburbs of the city, knocking the planks off and uprooting the posts for something less than a quarter section doing no serious damage to either driver, horses, harness or buggy, however. There is no doubt but tluit Toney thought he \v*s going "up in a balloon."

EVANSVILLK, Jan. 0, 1S71.

To the Editor of Terre Haute Gazette "A Friend of Blair's" (his brother I have been led to believe) has taken ad vantage of our absence-fojyi few days from Terre Haute, to makearrattempt to create public opinion in his (Blair's) favor and against his employers. This "Friend" loses sight of the fact that Blair's "high reputation" is about as seriously damaged bv his "Friend" characterizing this a*»so'ciate of his a "depraved prostitute," iis by the charge of theft to which he (Bhfir) has confessed. We are free to own that we know little distinction as to moral guilt between the man who spends evening after evening in the company of a "depraved prostitute" and one who purloins from "his employer. We go a step further and declare we have never known a young man who kept- company of this kind w: o, sooner or later, did not rob his emplover if an opportunity was afforded.

We have no disposition, even in answer lo tliis ill-timed and injudidious card of "a Friend of Blair's," to say a single harsh or unkind word of the accused.

We had hoped and predicted for him,

§oin£

prosperous business career, and we were all in our power to push him ahead in our business. We have warned him unceasingly against the temptations, which, when yielded tq, make shipwreck of the characters of so many of our young men, and i'sccaalh/ did we caution him, against that particular road to ruin, that we have reason to believe is fuliy entered upon when the door of the wine room of the "Academy of Mu.-'c" closes behind any youug man. 8t sad a termination of all our effort's for "Biair's good, can hardly grieve any one more than it has greived his employers, and they would gladly escape, it possible, the unpleasant duty of prosecuting ,t]iis case to a conviction. We need hardly add that before a breath of suspicion was whispered by us against

Kiaif, we had secured undoubted and uncontrovertible evidence of his guilt, and then, first, added to this, his own confession, made in the presence of an officer. We have too keen a sense of the value to a young man of an uuspotted reputation, i«a^tSltv n»* nn mpro siKhinio'i

to

ever act hastily, or on mere suspicion, in a matter of this kind. In justice to this Miss Robinson, it is only fair to say that she is a married woman—her husband 'being with her— and that she claims to be a virtuous woman, and that she took thes«*otily on the representation of Blair, that he was a member of the firm,and3oable to make these presents.

To the public we wish to say, that we have discharged, from our employ, every clerk- whom we had reason to believe wntilU ever be guiltyt in the future, of att^ding this "Academy of Mijsic," ahiMll whom we may employ in time to come will have notice given them that their services will be no longer required oment we hear of their doing it.

[Special Dispatches to the Torre Haute Gazette.] LONDON, January !).—A telegram from Versailles to the Times to-day says the American Consul has been permitted to leave Paris and has arrived at this point. The Prussians guns could easily shell Paris and several houses in Paris have been burned by them. The Freuch redoubt of Notre Dame has been occupied by the Prussians and its guns turned against the French. No appearance of a sortie.

Another correspondent of (.he 7th says the bombardment of the forts on the southern side of Paris is steadily continued it is supposed that several guns in the forts are dismantled.

A correspondent at Margeuy says that

The Germans -capture?! by the French are sent to the Island of Olerm, on the west coast of France, opposite the mouth of the Chanute. Many Bonapartist agents have been arrested in France.

LONDON, Jan. 10.-11:30 A. M.—The Standard to-day intimates editorially that if new negotiations should fail tebe entered into upon the subject of the Alabama claims, it will prove the delay is due the United States and not to England.

BERLIN, Jan. 9.—The King telegraphs the following "VERSAILLES, Jan. 9.—Prince Frederick Charles continues his victorious advance on Lemares. Everything has been quiet in the North since the 3d. The bombardment has proceeded favorably. The barracks in the park of Vauyres are on fire. [Signed] "WILLIAM."

VERSAILLES, Jan. 10.—The United States Consul at Paris, J. Meredith Read, had two interviews yesterday with Bismarck, and subsequently left, for London. One hundred and fifty Americans are still in Paris. The American ambulance corps is doing most efficient service.

LONDON, DOC. 10.—A dispatch from Frankfort-on-the-Main, says petitions have been forwarded to King William praying that his coronation as Emperor of Germany may take place in that city.

WASHINGTON,Jan. 10.—Although efforts will be made by Mr. Kellogg, of Connecticut, and others to again bring before the House, the bill abolishing the income tax, there is no question but the House will refuse to repeal that portion of the law. When a call of the States is made the bill will be presented again, for a direct vote, but this the House will avoid a*it has done before. The Ways and Means Committee are about equally divided on the question of repeal, but the Senate Financc Committee' are largely in favor of the continuance of the law.

Several bills are now before the latter Committee, but no action upon them will be taken, as clic Senate is undoubtedly against its repeal.

Senator Sherman claims that if this is taken off some other tax will have to be imposed in order to realize sufficient revenue for current necessities.

The Fenian Brotherhood and the Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood met yesterday to perfect arrangements for the reception of the Fenians recently pardoned by Her Majesty's Government. The released prisoners will reach here early next week.

The city is rapidly filling up with visitors, many of whom have business before Congress.

When intelligence was received here that the British Government had discharged the Irish-American prisoners, the Secretary of State telegraphed the American representative in London to furnish them first-class passage to the United States. The British Governmeut then volunteered to give them second class passage, but they very naturally preferred to accept the first-class offer of the United States.

A dispatch from the American Legation in London, lias been received at the State Department, slatingthat Jno. McClure, Underwood, O'Connell.and O'Dqnovan Rosa had sailed in the steamship Cuba, yesterday, for New York. Col. Win. G. Hal pin and others refused their conditional pardon. Thos.

The House Committee on Foreign Relations this morning agreed to report as a substitute for the resolution of Mr. Banks ou San Domingo, the Senate joint resolution to appaint a commisgioq.

The letter of Motley is dated Deeemcember 6tb, he says, after alluding to his recall: "It would be impossible for any diplomatic agent to believe himself more

TEHEE HAUTE, INI).. TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 10, 1871,

thoroughi\T possessing the confidence of the Government which he had the honor to represent than I had supposed myself to enjoy at that moment. No intimation of contemplated changes had ever been made to me. No slirfdow of a difference of opinion existed between the President, the Government and myself as to our relations with Great Britain or any other power, or as to the general policy of the administration.

I was at that very period engaged in as deliberate and confidential relation with yourself and the British Govermentupon several important matters as could well be confided by a government to its foreign agent.

The reports in newsparers I therefore regarded as an idle rumor'that the President was incapable as I believed in thus dealing with a public servant whom he had himseif so recently appointed. Had a change been contemplated, felt certain I should have been privately informed of it first and the public afterwards.

Had and charges against me been made for direlection of duty, I was sure they would have been preferred to my face, so that I might have the opportunity of answering it."

At the end of Motley's long letter he says: "I have thus recorded in my last official act a solemn protest against the outrage, as I believe entirely without precedent, of my peremptory removal."

The Motley correspondence is down to the 30th of December. At that date Secretary Fish addressed a letter to Mr. i^oran, Secretary of Legation, saying of Motley: "Having closed his missjoji,

he asks no permission but a^g^|??as a right to place his statement oiiTeeOTd." Questioning the taste andrdenying the right of this assumption, I'llsh nevertheless allows a place in the diplomatic records of the country to Motley's history to the end of his mission."

Fish remarks that "Motley says it has been rumored that he was removed on account of the opposition to the San Domingo treaty made by an eminent Senator, who honors him with his friendship.'-

Secretary Fish says that men are apt to attribute the causes of their own failures or their own misfortunes to others than themselves, and to claim association or .seek a partnership, with real or imaginary greatness with which to divide their sorrows or their mistakes. There can be no question as to the identity of the eminent Senator at whose door Motley is waiting to deposit the cause of his removal. But he is entirely mistaken in seeking a vicarious cause of his loss in confidence and favor, and it is unworthy of Motley's real merit and ability and an injustice to the venerable Senator alluded to, and to whose influence and urgency he was originally indebted for his nomination, to attribute to him any share iu the cause of his removal.

Mr. Fish states, among other reasons for the recall of Motley, that shortly after his apppointment, and before he left this country for his post of duty, it became apparent that upon a question of controlling interest at that moment occupying attention, it was necessary to be thoughtful, and be prudent to restrain the passions which had been excited by eloquent declamation and powerful rhetoric. Motley accepted the views upon which the popular excitement had been stimulated and wrought to the verge of dangerous irritation, rather than those which the President claimed to be sound and based upon the true principles of public law.

lo the Editor Terre Ilaute Gazette: We do not understand what the County Commissioners are driving at by their advertisement to let out the keeping of the poor. We judge they are seeking to get rid of some responsibility by the way it reads. Now, it seems to me, tliac the Commissioners are the proper persons to have the whole control of the poor of the Tjounty, without calling to their aid all of the so-called charitable societies of the countv. We ce-tainly supposed when we elected them, that they were men enough to attend to their own business. The Lady'sAid Society has already bestowed their charity so liberally that you can hardly get a day's ^vork done by a poor person in the city. They will tell you they don't care about working, for they can get along without. If the Poor House is to be made a part of the Lady's Aid Society, we would like for them to foot the bills, and quit taxing the people for that purpose. When will humbugs cease, we would like to know?

The young man poured and drank off about two-thirdsof the contents, and then coolly leaning back in his chair, drew a single barrelled pistol from his pocket, and placing the muzzle in his mouth, fired. The report startled the people in the restaurant, and on looking around they saw him reeling in his seat with blood streaming from his mouth. Several persons rushed to him, but he arose, and one of the attendants supported him on his feet. As soon as Up could clear the blood out of his throat and mouth he began to express his surprise thata leaden pistol bullet could be shot through a man's mouth andlodgein his brain without even stunning him. He refused to give his name or any reason for his act.

As he continued to bleed profusely, and the crimson current fell on the furniture and carpet, he was asked by some one conneotcd with tho establishment, why he diu notgoout on the sidewalk before he shot himself, and was reminded that he had done a very improper thing. He seemed to acceed to the reasonable-

ness of the suggestion, but the conversation was soon cut short by the arrival of a hack, in which he was placed and conveyed to a surgeon's office. On examination it was discovered that the bullet had grazed the roof of his mouth, cut the palate, and descended probably witji the remainder of his repast.From the office he was taken to the station house for safe keeping. There he conversed very freely about the matter, expressing his utter astonishment that a pistol at such short range should fail of the fatal effect intended.

He said he thought he had a "dead sure thing," and had he even dreamed of failure he would have used a blunderbuss. He declared he had experienced much trouble, and deemed that death was the best way to end his misfortunes but added that lie was ashamed to have it known that he had failed. He said to those who were permitted to see him ihat he had taught himself a lesson not to attempt suicide again. The nature of the trouble to which he alluded was not ascertained. He is said to be a relative of Stephen Masset, and is a young man of respectable appearance and ot good ad-, dress. When it was suggested that his palate wss shot off or severed,^ quietly retorted, "I don't care about that, but this blood has spoiled my trowsers." He evidently has coolness and self-pos-session enough to struggle with misfortune along time before he tries again to commit self-murder.

Singular Finale of a Christmas Dinner. About 5 o'clock last evening, a young man named Massett, went into Saulmann's restaurant, ou California street, and, seating himself at one of the tables, ordered a sumptuous repast, and proceeded to devour it with evident satisfaction. However, he ate slowly, but in such quantity and such varieties that the tablets of the waiter's memory by 7 o'clok contained an entry against, him of $2.50 fey food alone. He was regaided as a hearty eater, even for Christmas time, when the people seem to think they have fuf license to gormandize, but no one advised him to stop work. When it was thought he was near the end or at least half through his repast, he ordered a bottle of wine costing $2. The waiter concluded that it was time to_ financier a little, and brought him a $1.50 bottle.
