about Willett Cornwall's "Self-fitting Waist and Shoulder Chart." It is prophesied that it will produce a new era in dress fitting. Although based on strict scientific principles, yet the chart is reputed to be so simple that any one can learn its use in a few hours, and the dress cut by it will be a perfect fit, needing no trying on. Its use is now being demonstrated, the agents having opened a room on Washington street, Boston, where they are cutting dresses gratis for all who apply, and they have been kept constantly busy. We think if such terms were ofterrd our citizens this new style would receive a liberal patronage.
THE Monitor Mutual Insurance Company of Boston, it is reported, has failed with liabilities of §1,500,000, of which more than a million are for outstanding risks—and the assets are only $2,000,000. The assets are said to be less than 18 per cent, of its liabilities. This, too, in a State where official inspection has been reduced to a system hitherto supposed to be almost perfect, certainly effective. Stockholders and policyholders suffer alike in this instance and the Yankee shrewdness which succeeded in covering up gross mismanagement, has kept the swindle concealed for years. A few more such examples will lead to a general restriction of insurance privileges. Quarterly returns and free access to the books of the insurance companies will be demanded as the remedies. We hope none of our citizens have been victimized by the agents of thiscom-
A LIVELY "MILL."—An individual hailing from the rural districts named "Joe" Hostler, came into town yesterday evening, and no sooner had iie made his advent into town than he, true to an old time-honored custom, imbibed all the "benzine" his cash would admit of his securing, \\hich fully impressed him with his importance as a free American citizen of Irish decent, whereupon he began to assert this inborn principle by making a disturbance on Fourth street, when Officer Sibley came up and remonstrated with "Joe" trying to persuade him to go o!T the streets and cease to disturb peaceable citizens, at which remonstrance and go advice "Joe took offense, and told the officer that he could go to a place "nam.'less here," ^vhich little privilege Mr. S. did not heed, considering it war.n enough here, but undertook to take "Joe" to the Station House, when he resisted, and a lively little mill esulted between the two, and was witnessed by a large crowd of bystanders, none of whom pretended to assist the officer, but said, "hit him on the head with a billy," which Sibley would have been justified in doing, as the man would weigh about 100 pound, and was just about spirited enough to fight, but he did n.:t wish to injure him.

A Public*Tooth Brush.
As the steamer Connecticut was passing Black well's Island, on her way from Norwich to New York, a gentleman tnhiht have been seen performing his ablutions in one of tho marble basins in the forward part of the boat. While he was in the midst of his task, a tall and verdantspecimen of the incipient Yankee traveler entered the apartment, and, after staring about a few mtmients to as sure himself, commenced a Stmyersatiou with his fellow passenger: "I sa-ay yeou—kin anybody wash himself in this here cooky "You have a perfect right to avail yourself or'theaccommodations of the boat. You can help yourself to the water." "Yaas but this he"e pumpkin shell has got a hole in he bottom, and the darned fassct's knockcd all askew."
The gentleman quietly placed the stopper in the right place, and "turned on" the water for our hero, who soon "made himself at home" pretty geperally. The former, however, in a short time missed his tOoth brush, and on looking around, was astonished to perceive the Yankee applying it vigorously to his tobaccostained ivory. "My dear friend, you made a great mistake in using my tooth brush," said the gentleman. "Your what?—your tooth brush? You don't mean to say that this here's your toothbrush?" "I do, sir but its of no consequence now. You are welcome to the brush."
The Yankee looked puzzled at fiist, as if he suspected a trick, but at length lie exclaimed: •'Here, yeou, takie your confounded thingumbob! But I should like to know what the tliu nder has become of the tooth brush which belongs to the bo»t?"

COXttltESSIOXAIi SUMMARY.
WALIIINCTON, February 1. House.
Mr. Jones, of Kentucky, presented a petition from the manutacturers and dealers in tobacco, snuff and cigars, of Covington, against a special tax and tax on sales.
The Senate amendment to the House bill prescribing the form of enacting and resolving clauses of acts and resolutions of Congress were non-concurred in, and a Committee of Conference agreed to.
The House then resumed the nonsideration of the Senate bill passed on the 22d of April last, prescribing the oath of office to be taken by persons who participated in the late redellion, but who are not disqualified from holding office by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
The bill provides that such persons shall take the oath which is prescribed in the act of July 18, 1868, prescribing the oath of office to be taken by persons from whom legal disabilites shall have been removed.
The bill was advocated by Messrs. Upson and Bingham. Mr. Piatt said he would have preferred the entire repeal of tho ironclad oath but this bill, in effect, accomplished the same object. He should vote for it, and hoped every member who desired to see peace restored to the South, and the Republican party triumph, would vote for it.
Mr. Lon-r, the colored representative from Georiiia, made his maiden speech in the House in opposition to the bill, claiming that the men whom it would relieve were the leaders of the Kn Ivltix Kian. He declared that since the rebellion closed ni(fl-e than five huudred loyal men had been killed in Georgia, and not one of their murderers had been brought to justice. He believed therefore,'it was his duty to vote against the
Mr. Morris s?tid he would vdte for the bill, but would much rather vote for the total abolition of the test oath and removal of all political disabilities. It was not by such measures that the outrages MI the South were prevented, but by Ihtt presence of an armed force.
Mr. Maynard argued against the bill, and presented a communication which he had read yesterday, addressed to the gentleman who had presented the bill, ?Mr. Butler.) The communication represented the Union people of Tennessee as being in a deplorable coudition. They are under complete control and at the mercy of the enemies of the Government, and they invoked protection of the Government. They expressed the belief that they were more practically disfranchised than they were at the close of the war He condemned the miserable "nambytamby" sentiment which was doin" more to sap the foundations of the Government, and to overthrow it, than Lee and all his hosts.
Mr Dawes inquired whether the severe treatment meted out to the rebels had not had an effect contrary to that which was intended.
Mr Maynard replied in -the negative Mr Garfield said he was unwilling that the vote which he should give for the biil be construed to belt vote in favor of the Ku Ivlux in any State. He asked the gentleman from Tennessee (May nard) whether the retention of thq iron clad oath, in cases from which this bill proposed to have it left, if it would have the least possible effect in suppressing outrages in any of the Southern States.
Mr Shanks opposed and argued against the bill, declaring his unwilling ness to release any particle of power Congress held over rebels in the South till they
showed
milr.
by their conduct that
thev were worthy of it. Mr Porter opposed the bill and denieq that the Republican parly of Virginia were in favor of universal amnesty, but on the contrary, he asserted that ninetynine out of every hundred were against It until they secured their own rights.
At the conclusion of the ten minute^ allowed Mr. Porter, Mr. Randall moved that be be allowed to. continue his re-

Mrf porter retorted that the member from New York was the ouly man in the House mean enough to make that remark,
TERRE HAUTE. IND.. THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 2, 1871.
Mr. Cox added, in the midst of much' contusion, that that man meaning Porter, was not the man to attack him. He had no belligerency with that member, who was not a lightingman. [Laughter.]
Mr. Porter, you had better try, that'.all. Mr. Van Wick opposed the bill, and reminded the gentleman from Virginia, Piatt—how that last year, at a Republi
can
meeting at Petersburg, at which ho (Van Wick) was present, rebels shouted for Lee and Davis.
Mr. Piatt admitted that,* but said that the loval element had cleared the rebel crowd"in about two minutes.
Mr. Van Wick remarked sarcastically, that if the colored men in Petersburg had not of had more cojrage than some of their representatives in this House, rebels would not have been cleared out. [Laughter.]
Mr. Piatt, in the midst of much noise and confusion, and the Speaker's gavel hammering on the desk rapidly, attempted to make himself heard in reply, but his voice was drowned in the din. He was understood to say, however, that he had proved his courage on the battle field, which was more than the member from New York (Van Wick) did.
Mr. Arnell argued against the bill. Mr. Beck said nobody need besurprised at the scolding indulged in by the gentleman from Tenn esse (Mr. Maynard) a that gentlenam had.been scolding all his life. He would read to the House a scolding which that gentleman had «iven the Abolitionists of Massachusetts in -LS58, in regard to Kansas matters, reading an extract from tiie Globe of that year.

Balance of interest paid by the United States WHEELING, Feb. 2.—The Legislature
yesterday elected II. G. Davis, of Piedmont, United1 States Senator, to succeed Senator Willey, by 31 majority.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—Six of the municipal steamship subsidies are before Congress asking for appropriations amounting, in the aggregate, to $7,500,000, and there are only $60,000,000 in the Treasury after paying the immediate liabileties—not sufficient for six of the companies.
Mr. Butler. We gave way when we admitted that gentleman to his seat. [Laughter.]
Mr. Jones. No, sir we gave way when we admitted you to your seat—a rebel to the Constitution and Union.
The Speaker (using his gavel frequently.) The gentleman from Kentucky is out of order.
Mr. Butler and Mr. Jones both competed to make themselves heard, and the Speaker decided that they were out of order.
The debate being, closed, Mr. Arnell moved to lay the bill on the table. Rejected. The bill then passed.
The following is the text of the bill: lie it enacted., &r.., That when any peron who is not rendered ineligible to office by the provisionsof theFourteenth Amendment shall be elected or appointed to any otlice of honor or trust under the Government of the United States, and shall not be able on account of participation in the rebellion to take the oath precribed by the act of Congres approved the 21st of July, 18G2, said person, in ieu of said oath, before entering upon lhe duties of. said otlice, shall take and ub^cribe the ogth prescribed in an act ot Congress, entitled an act prescribing the •ath of office to be taken by persons from whom legal disabilities shall have been removed. Approved July 11, 1868.
The Fall "f Paris and the Armistice. The event-which everyoody has been anticipating for weeks past has at last happened. The resistance of Paris has been a gallant one, and if it had been supported by an adequate force of regular troops in the field, it might have turned the fortunes of the war. There can be no doubt that the German leaders did not anticipate that Paris whould have held out so long. Their losses during t» siege from sickness must have been verv great. Paris was first completely invested by the German armies on the 19ih of September last, and had the rest of the country been in anything like a condition to have made a vigorous fight, it is quite possible that the German campaign inigh have proved a failure. But the Parisians were struggling again.-1 impossibilities. From beginning to end the story of the French armies has been the sanie. First we have heard that an enormous force Mas gathered under some General of great promise. Then, perhaps, some news of slight successes reached us After thatoame the tidings that the French army was

bill, and remarked that when the two gentlemen from Tennessee, (Messrs. Mavnard and Arnellj were declaiming againititl ealmo t'ancie It latitwasthe ghost of Hamlet's wife crying. "Swear! Swear!! Swear!!!" [laughter] as if the test oath were a great panacea for wronsrs the South was suffering. The intelligent white people of thecountry could not bedamned by any snch means. And if they should be, sooner or later they would break down the dam. If the government of Tennessee had passed liberal laws, and allowed the disfranchised to come back into the foid and vote and hold office there would not have been the trouble in that State which now exists. The trouble in Tennessee had been caused by disfranchisement.
Mr. Arnell. I deny it. Mr. Farnsworth. Jt was so to a great extent in Missouri. There was disfranchisement and disqualifications there, and you see the result. You see the revolution. There will be a revolution in every State where you compel this thing. You cannot, in a Republican government, prevent intelligence from from having a voice in the affairs of the Government. You cannot do it.
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, who closed the debate, said that he reported the bill as the mouth-piece of the Committee on Reconstruction, but could not support it. He hoped that the ironclad oath would never be repealed.
Mr. Jones, of Kentucky, interrupted and asked Mr. Butler, in an angry tone of voice: "What do you mean, sir, by Ku-KIux? Answer nae that."
Mr. Butler, without noticing the queston, went on to say that Congress was relaxing and giving way to rebels all the time.
Mr. Jones, of Kentucky. When did you ever give way, sir. I mean in the right direction?
Mcompletely
surrounded," and its capitulation inevitable." So unvarying has been this turn of events, that most people would be puzzled to tell off-hand how many French armies have been causrht in a trap and taken priponers during this amazing six-months' v/ar,
In presence of the inevitable, it is of little use to talk of what was once possible. Yet there must be many of our readers who will remember by what apparent accidents this campaign has been decided. If, after the battle of Woerth. the Emperor and McMahon had retreated upon Paris, of if Bazaine had done the same, instead of shutting himself up in Metz, there can be no question that Paris could have defied the invadei for some time yet, and probably to the end. We.ee wliat she has been able to accomplish by means of her fortifications and untrained levies. With 200,000 disciplined troops entrenched before Paris, we may safely say that it would have been impossible for the German armies to have taken the city. The sorties could constantly hiive broken the invading line, and the German forces would not have been free lo rove about the country, scattering hastilyeathered French levies. But Palikao and Paris together demanded that McMahon should effect a junction with Bazaine and although it is known that the Emperor Napoleon was opposed to the scheme, yet he was afraid to retire upon Paris without attempting it. The
7y
hub "i-'n'r*
attempt caused the irreparable disaster of Sedan, and subsequently the capitulation of Metz—in these two events alone upward of 200,000 of the flower of the French troops having been withdrawn from the defense of the country. It is "another example of what happens when Generals in the field allow their movements to be guided by the clamors of civilians at home. McMahon and the Emperor undoubtedly wished to retreat on Paris, and had they followed their own judgment, France might have been saved.
Everyone admits the enormous superiority of the German troops and officers throughout the campaign. The war proves that there is at present no army, or combination of armies, in the world which can stand before the German nation, every man in which is a welltrained soldier. The world has been startled by the perfection of the organization which less than fifty years of study and sacrifices have brought into existence Every man in the German armies has a duty assigned to him, knows it well and performs it thoroughly. An army so constructed is practically invincible, unless it is met by one equally well organized, and much superior in numbers. In both these respects the French armv, instead of being superior, was immeasurably inferior. The lesson lias been a bitter one for France, but she will
by it, just as the Prussians did by the experience gained at Jena. Years lience this war will be renewed. It is only fought out for a time. All France will have but'one object after peace is restored to get ready fir war again, and this time to get ready in earnest. It may take fifty years, but tho work will be done. The "loss of territory will never be permanently endured by the French. And the next time the struggle is waged, it is scarcely probable that all the conditions of success will be on the side of the Germans. The Von Moltke and Bismarck of the day may tl-.en be found with the French.—N. Y. Times.
