Additional Local News.
Axxious.—Several „youns ladies in town are making anxious inquiries as to the truth of the report that is becoming current in the city, that the "promising and rising young gentleman" who went about the Opera House night before last, placarded as being "taken," is "engaged," supposing that to be what was meant by that suggestive inscription. They seem interested.
OBJECT OK CHAUITY.—The family of Nathaniel Surdam, who was killed on the K. & C. railroad last evening, and who reside near the rolling mills, are in very reduced circumstances, not even possessing the means to bury the dead husband and father. This is a case worthy of the attention of the Ladies' Aid Society, and will no doubt receive it. Assis ance from any other quarter will be entirely acceptable the family.
BAD FOR "ROOSTEKS."—The rain drove the "roosters" from in front of the Opera House last evening. Vie heard several ladies who attended the entertainment given by thelilondes, express a wish that it would always rain when there was any amusement at the Opera llou-e that they would rather endure a pelting rain storm, than withstand the rude gaze of the trifling loafers who infest that lo eality upon the occasion of an entertainment there on pleas nt evenings.
A RUMOR.—It is rumored that "nightgown parties" are to make their appearance in this city soon, to close up the season of entertainments with which we have been favored during the winter. We suppose the introduction of this novel entertainment has been delayed until the warm weather sets in, as being a more appropriate season for the costumes to be worn. We presume that the "gentleman from Texas" whose out-fit consisted of a pair of spurs and shirt colar, will be one of the invited guests.
SKIFF & GAYLORD'S MINSTRELS are coming, and will hold forth at Dowliug Hall, in this city, on the loth inst., for one night only. The reputation of this company is so well known that any comments are superfluous. The most attractive part of their entertainment is said to be the grand innovation on "black cork" minstrelsy, by the entire troupe appearing as Albinos. This new feature must certainly be very attractive and entertaining, and alone considered should draw an immense audience, and doubtless will.
A LAW VIOLATING LAW.—Yesterday an individual named Joseph Law and a peddler by profession, took out license to vend brass jewelry about the street. So great was his success, in the sale of the "only geuuine in the market," that he, in violation of municipal law got very "tipsy" to say the least, and was tipped into the Station House bv Officer Vaudever, where he found an abiding peace until this morning, when he was ushered iuto the awful presence of His Honor, Mayor Cookerly, who fined and costed him in the sum of $8.50, which he did not have about his clothes, and his whole stock of jewelry not beiug worth that much he was remanded to the catiboose where he now languisheth.
A HOME THRUST.—The Terre Haute Journal in a recent number, devoted near a column to the subject of country newspapers, directing the editors of such sheets how they should be conducted. Now, as one of the clase. for whose benefit this lecture was intended, we beg leave to suiriiest in return, that the editors of the Journal could, with much more propriety, study the subject of the best mode of conducting a "one horse" daily paper, and by some means find out how to print a paper sufficiently free from blurs as to admit of reading.—Hockville Republican.
The truth of the above is very apparent to any one who ever tried the vain experiment of deciphering even enough to glean the substance of an item appearing in the Journal. We have heard of a business man in the city who preserves his copies of the Journal through the week aud remains from church and devotes the entire Sunday in trying to study out the few ideas*they are said to contain. He says that he only takes it because it is the party organ.
THE "Wives of the Period," have adopted the following ten commandments which the press of the country is respectfully requested to publish. Out of courtesy to the sex we clip the following from an exchange, believing that if husbands will obey them happiness will reign supreme in the family: 1. Thou shalt have no wife but me. 2. Thou shalt not take into thy house any beautiful brazen virago of a servant girl to bow down to her and serve her for I am a jealous wife, &c. 3. Thou shalt not take the name of thy wife in vain. 4. Remember thy wife to keep her rerespectable. 5. Honor thy wife's father and mother that the hair may continue to grow on thy head. 6. Thou shalt not fret and find fault on account of large "store bills." 7. Thou shalt not find fault with thy dinner on wash day, and thou must keep out of the kitchen, for the cook is a pecu
liar
institution, venting her wrath, &c.,
unto the
third and fourth persons, if all
does not go well. 8. Thou shalt not chew tobacco, nor play any game of "luck or chance," except it be to chance a night at home. 9. Thou shalt not be behind thy neighbor in providing good apparel for thy wife and little ones. Thou wilt consult thy wife on all matters ot importance such as casting votes, making purchases of landed estates, and buying tickets for circuses and theaters. 10. Thou shalt not visit the rum shop. Thou shalt not covet the tavern keeper's rum, uor his brandy, nor* his whisky, nor iiis wine, nor the pretty dining room girls that work for the tavern keeper, nor anything that is behind the bnr of the tavern-keeper.

When the Prussian infantry passed under the Arc de Triomphi, they were received with whistling, screams and derisive shouts.
Squadrons of Hussars came next. Bismarck did not enter the Arcde Triomphi, but turned round and rode back to Neuilly.
The grandest part of the military spectacle was the march along the Champs Elysees, with bayonets and helmets glittering in the sun, and flags, torn by battle, fluttering in the breeze. A crowd of men and boys who blocked the way were dispersed by the Uhlans. The Uhlans and Bavariaus are especially hated. The troops looked splendidly, and surprised the French, who owned they could not beat them.
All is quiet, but the authorities are still apprehensive. BORDEAUX, March 2.—The entire Department of the Interior will return to Paris on Saturday, and it is believed the entire Government will be transferred to Paris again, as speedily as the execution of the peace convention will permit.

At exactly thirty minutes past one o'clock the Emperor drove up to the back of the grand stand in an open carriage, attended by dragoons aud the officers ol his household. Alighting at the steps of the grand entrance, he took horse and cantered across the field toward the general staff, which had followed along the line. As the Emperor approached the bands played "Heil Der," and all the troops saluted him.
The Emperor looked exceedingly well and rode dashing by, despite his lingering indisposition. As he rode down the front of the line flags were drooped and the men gave three ringing cheers. The Emperor kept his hand upon his helmet and smiled on the soldiers. Passing Bismarck, lie moved his hand in al friendly manner twice. Having passed up and down the lines, the Emperor galloped across the

A GERMAN customer called upon a marble dealer, and ^as shown through the establishment and yard. He was very much struck with the specimens of Scotch granite on exhibition. Referring to the gray Scotch, he inquired, "Vatish dot?" "That is gray Scotch granite," replied the dealer, "and this is the red," pointing to a fine!y polished monument. "You calls dot granite!" exclaimed the German "you fool menotings. I knows him too well to be humbug mit your stories. He is no more as a pig glass full of sausage meat. Dot is blayed out." The marble dealer wilted.
