A libel suit against the Baltimore American, which has been on trial for two weeks in the Court of Common Pleas in that city, lor the publication of proceedings in the police court in the case of a party arrested for selling diseased meat, was decided in favor of the defendant.

The average Kentucky male is an eminently clufable person. He is a pretty good judge and a fair drinker of Bourbon whisky, a tolerably skillful poker-player, and, withal, social and talkative. This is what the Louisville Courier-Journal says about it.

An Eastern paper, speaking of "poor Jack Magruder," says that when he drove to the battle-field in kid gloves behind a pair of fast trotters, ho did nothing out ofcharicter. Eccentricity was one of his strongest points, and his thoroughly genial heart, his free generosity and his hearty friendship readily excused his idiosyncracies with all who knew him. He was the soul of conviviality, a lion among the ladies, and a military exquisite.

Mrs. Esther J. Amsdell has been awarded a divorce from her husband, a wealthy brewer in Albany, and^iaa been granted an alimony of $50,000—$20,000 to be paid down and $30,000 to be secured on bond and mortgage—beside $500 yearly for the support of each of her two children, of whom she retains the custody during their minority. The report of the referee was confirmed on Tiiesday evening, and on Wednesday a check for the $20,000 was handed to her representative.

The following represents the number of persons killed or injured on the railroads of New Jersey during 1870: Camden Amboy, killed, 13 injured, 23. New Jersey Railroad and Transportation Company, killed, 19 injured, 14. Central Railroad, killed, 13 injured, 20. Camden & Atlanta, killed, 2. Morris & Essex, killed, 37 injured, not reported. Paterson & Hudson River, killed, 21 injured, 22. West Jersey Railroad, killed, 5 injurod, 4. Belvidere fc Delaware Railroad, killed, 5 injured, 3.

The Central Pennsylvania Railroad, now in the process of construction from the Cumberland Valley road at Marion to Mercersburg and Loudon, has brought suit against a number of subscribers to the capital stock of the road who refuse to pay the subscription on the ground that the company have violated their contract with them. They have refused to pay, on the advice of legal counsel, and the question they complain of is likely to be determined by a court and jury soon. The dissatisfied parties live in the neighborhood of Mercersburg and Upton, Pa.

A road with a three-foot gauge is in operation between Akron and Massill m, iu Ohio. Another road of this kind is to be built between Piqua and Celina, in the same State, a company having been organized lor the purpose, with a capital of $100,000. The rignt of way is to be 15 feet, instead of 40, the usual width, and the locomotives are to weigh five tons, instead thirty, and to be capable of drawing from ten to twenty loaded freight cars, each of two and a half tons capacity. A passenger car on this road will hold twenty people. The projectors of the Buffalo & Springfield road are also thinking of adopting the narrow-guage railroad.

Spain and Egypt, it seems, are trying to get up a sort of pyrotechnic side-show to be given at the conclusion of the celebrated performance between the champion Prussia and the ex-champion France. Some Spanisu clerk in Egypt has suffered some one of the thousand indignities which are included under the list of insults according to the code, and as the Viceroy probably refused to accept his challenge, he is fallen back on his Government. Spain is reported to have issued its ultimatum, and the Italian-Spanish kiug is probably shaking in his boots for fear that he vvill be called upon to put on bis arnior. It is probable that the European police will suppress the show, but even if they do not, it will not attract much attention after the big exhibit1 (bat the world has just enjoyed in a ti •tftrm*..

Safe.—Our enter

prising and courteous friend, Mr. T. H. lliddW, having found his business gradually growing upon him until he found it necessary to enlarge his place of business, engaged several workmen a few days since and placed them to work at tearing down some partitions in the store. Day before yesterday they found it necessary to remove his safe (one of Hall's patent) from its position, and did so. Alongabout "closing up time" one of the young gentlemen connected with the establishment, observed the key of the safe and the dial attached, was knocked out of its usual position, and lying on the floor, whereupon he picked up the dial and threw it into the safe,the door of whidh wasstauding open, but leaving the key outside. He then went out of the store and left another gentleman, also connected with the establishment, to "close up" and lock the safe, which he did most effectually, leaving the dial on the inside, not knowing it was there. It is needless to jukl that the dial is yet inside, together with the jewelry and quite a sum ot money and all the valuable papers of of France.

Frantic efforts were made yesterday by quite a number of persons to effect an entrance, but all to no purpose, and Mr. Riddle has been seriously contemplating the feasibility ot advertising for some first-class professional burglar to com? and open it, as every other effort has failed. The key is on the outside, but without the dial to indicate the lurking place of the "spring" it is useless, as any enterprising young man might turn the key in the lock until he is as old as Susan B. Anthony and he could "not enter therein." Mr. R. telegraphed to Cincinnati last evening for another dial or a man to come and open it but was answered that he would have to send full particulars and description by mail and it was more likely thau not that some one would haveto come from Cincinnati. Mr. Riddle expresses his unbounded faith in the se_ irity of his jewelry and valuables, and thinks he would not be afraid to trust any politician in the country "behind the counter with the key of bis safe" in his possession, but his customers aie at a loss where to go for watches and other fine jewelry.

San Domingo.—The Cincinnati Gazette's special, dated San Domingo Cit.y. Feb. 14, says: "Thus far all inquires of the commission shows that the agricultural resources of the island have not been, and can not be, overrated. The coffee, sugar and tobacco interests are capable of enormous development, if suitable labor can be obtained. The grants and concessions of various kinds, of which the commission has copies, are so great us to limit the acquisition of the United States chiefly to the agricultural worth of the island, and to the public buildings. The most valuable mines are now virtually in private hands."

[Special Dispatcher to the Terre II rati (i i/.i-tr\] Bordeaux, March ±—In the As-

dent. M. Bamberer, Deputy from the Department of Moselle, adjured the Assembly to reject any terms involving the cession of French territory. He strongly denounced Napoleon the III.

A violent agitation arose in the Chamber on the attempt by M. Conti, formerly Private Secretary to the Emperor, to speak in justification of the Empire.

The process of relief will probably involve the presence of 60,OJi) German soldiers within the enciente at one time.

Each corps will remain three days, and will be sueeeded by another until they have ail iiad their turn.

The whole period of occupation has not yet been defined. Toe Parisians seem to suppose the occupation will last only a few days. This is not unlikely, but it may prove a delusive hope, for the occupation may last many months, which seems not improbable from certain indications at present. The Germans may be requested by the authorities of France, to occupy the city until anarchy and riot subsides, and respect to the law insured. The Government, of which Thiers is at the head, is resolved to maintain its authority, and do its best to restore order.

There is reason to believe that it is the intention of the French Government to disband the whole Imperial army immediately upon their release from captivity in Germany, and organize a new and gigantic system of national defence. The old army will be swept away with unsparing completeness, and a prolonged occupation of Paris by the German garrison may be an actual necessity of these wholesale measures for the regeneration

London, March 2.—The following correspondence has passed between the Emperor of Germany and the Czar Alexander. The Emperor, in his letter to the Czar, after stating the terms upon which peace has been concluded, says: "VVe nave arrived at the end of a glorious and bloody war, which was precipitated b} the frivolity of the French. Prussia remembers that you prevented the spread of war. God bless you."

The Czar replied that he shared the joy which was felt by his illustrious brother, and hoped for a durable peace he had proved a devoted friend, llie happiness and glory of Russia, and Prussia were now insured.

Washington, March ±—During President Buchanan's administration of four years, in the time of profound peace, the public debt was increased St»",383,000. During the lirst two years of General Grant's administration in addition to meeting the extraordinary expenses entailed by a protracted and gigantic war, the public debt l.as been leduced $204,754.413. During Buchanan's administration the taxes were not materially reduced. During General Grant's administration there has been an annual reduc5ion iu taxation of $71,200,7S4. These facts ure taken from the books of the Treasury Department, and can not be successfully disputed.

dispatch from

Steubenville, Ohio, says that on the Pan Handle route, Tuesday morning, as the 1:MA. M. train from Pittsburg neared Mansfield an axietree broke under the second passenger coach, precipitating the coach, which was crowded with passengers, down an embankment—the coach turning over and breaking to pieces, severely injuring several passengers. fnan instant the cars were in flames, but through the efforts of the conductor the passengers got out without serious

burns, excepting Mrs. Winfield Scott, of

lost their baggage, hats, coats and bonnets. The train also had two of Pullman's sleeping cars, Nos. 2 and 19. These cars both ran olf the track and were entirely

consumed, but all the passengers were

saved without injury. The eonduc-

tors and porters of the sleeping Currency i-J cars, instead of trying to assist the passengers from the burning wreck, worked with eager haste to rescue

The accident was caused

by the gross negligence of the road, which was leased to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and they put litis old rickety car (ill for economy. -The train was running at the rate of twenty miles an hour. The poor laborers living in tbe huts near the scene of the wreck did everything in their power for the comfort of the victims, and declining any reward. After a delay of two hours," the train proceeded to Columbus. They had another accident on the same road an hour later on a freight train going east, by which, when near Racoon, it ran over a brakeman, named Aiken, cutting off his legs.

Cleveland, March 2.—At an election of directors of the Cleveland, Colum*us, Cincinnati and Indianapolis Railroad, the old Board was re-elected with two exceptions. Horace J. Clark and Augustus Schell, of New York, were elected in the place of J. H. Wade and Stillman Witt, of Cleveland. Oscar Townseud was re-elected President, and the other officers of the road will be the same as last year.

r(.V(i ESS ION A I, S15I5IAKV.

Washington, March 1. Senate.

Mr. Davis offered a resolution instructing the Committee on Pacific Railroads to investigate and report upon the existing indebtedness of the United States Government and Union Pacific Railroad Company, particularly as to the amount of land subsidy voted to it by Congress7 the amount of bonds issued to and sold by the company, the amount for which Congress guaranteed the payment of principal and interests wiiat interest was paid ou the bonds, what disposition was made by said company of the proceeds of their bonds sold, what amount of money said company has distributed among its stockholders also, as to the operations of credit mobi/irr, and what comprised it.

Mr. Howard objected to the present consideration of the resolution and it was laid over.

On motion of Mr. Hamlin the Senate took up the resolution to continue the investigation of the ku klux outrages on the South during the lirst session of the Forty-second Congress.

Mr. Casserly moved to require the proceedings of theCoinmitte to be published. His object was to prevent false impressions upon the public by one-sided statements of the testimony. r. Blair referred to statements of the [estitiinwy before the committee alleged to have been made by Chairman Scott before the Republican caucus. He was contideut that

110

such statements had

been made, because there was no truth in them. There was no evidence before the committee rising to the dignity of a fact, in support of such statements. He desired the testimony .made public, in order that tbe committee as well as individuals whose characters were secretly maligned might have an opportunity to disprove the acqusations.

Mr. Scott said secrecy was not desired by the members of the committee, but it was necessary for the protection of witnesses, some of whom had appeared before the committee at the risk of their lives.

Mr. Blair thought the objection not valid, as the names of the witnesses aud their testimony would eventually be published.

Mr. Bayard claimed that the attempt to forstall public Opinion are the means of one-sided politicians. He had read a paragraph in an Alabama newspaper, headed "A Minister Ku Kluxed," the purport of which was that a Methodist clergyman had beeu assaulted by some men iu disguise because he had attempted to preach the gospel to black "people. An official investigation was made under the direction of the Governor of Alabama, when it turned out that the supposed minister was fugitive from justice, charged with having committed rape in Georgia, and instead of preaching the gospel was inciting the negroes to violent assertions of their political equality.

Mr. Casserley's amendment was then reiected, and theresolution adopted. Home.

Relating to the records of the courts of the United States. All land grant bills from the Senate were objected to and laid aside until after first reading the calendar.

The bills on the calendar were then called iu order, and a number of Senate bills, most of which were of a private character, passed.

No objection was made. The second call of the calendar commenced, and the Senate bills granting lands for the construction of railroad from the western boundary of Minnesota to Winnipeg, British America, and to provide for the erection of government buildings at Trenton, New Jersey, passed under suspension of tbe rules.

A motion to suspend the rules in favor of the representative apportionment bill and those granting lands to aid thp construction of the Southern Pacific Railroad from Riley, Kansas, to Fort Smith, Arkansas, and extending the time for the construction of the railroad from St. Croix river or lake to the west end of Lake Superior also an amendment in favor of the Central Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad. All rejected—none receiving a two-thirds affirmative vote.

The total number of theological seminaries of all denominations in the United States is said to be ninety-two. Of these, fourteen are Roman Catholic, with each from three to fifteen professors and they report nearly 1,200 students, who are preparing for the priesthood and other offices in the church.

HAIR VIGOR,

A I I O

For the Renovation of the Hair!

Tlie (treat Desideratum of the Age!

A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickeued, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not Always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied or decayed. But sucli as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling oft, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a „c

HAIR DI1KSSING,

nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oijfror dye, it does not soil white camblfe, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
