It is interesting to hear from India that His Excellency, the Governor of Bombay, had some exciting "pig slickings," near Ah nadribad.

A Frenchman has written a brochure dedicated to "William I., Kimrof Prussia, by the 'grace of God,' and Emperor ol Germany by the effusion of blood."

A girl in Huntington county, N. J., was choked dead the other day by her lover's

arm—the

lusty young man thinking she

was "only in fun" when she struggled. A man died at St. Louis recently, and in his will, after statinur that he "never forgot a favor," left $2,000 to an individual who ten years before ran away with hjs wi fe. "George," asked a teacher of a Sunday school class, "who above all others shall you wish to see when you get to heaven?"

An old lady was telling her grand-chil-dren about some troubles in Scotland, in the course of which the chief of her clan •was beheaded. "It was nae great thing of a head, to be sure," said the good old lady, "but it was a sad loss to him."

A gentleman playing cards at BadenBaden was much annoyed by an inquisitive stranger, who stood beside him and pried into his hand.

An old lady tolerably blind was engaged in a futile attempt to sew buttons on young Gus' now jacket: Old Lady—"Drat these 'ere buttons! 1 can't find the holes, and they split all to pieces every time I stick the needlo into 'em."

The whole ol this sum is raised by subscriptions for private boxes and for reserved seats. The boxes cost §12,000 each, and'the reserved seats §250 each. They become the perpetual property of the holders and their descendants. One of the rules of the house will be that no one will bo permitted to enter unless it is possible to furnish him with a seat.

Seventy years ago a Democratic politician named Cameron, in one of tin Scotch settlements in Vermont, greatl.\ disappointed that his children were all girls,* declared on one occasion that his next baby, whatever might be its sex should bo named Thomas Jefferson. It proved to be a girl, and he was as fcood as good as his word. The child was familiarly calfed Jeffisina "for short." Shemarried the late Col. Jacpb Blanchard, ol Peacbam, Vermont, by whom she had several children, and on her tombstone in that town are inscribed the initials "T. J." in place of her Christian name.

GARRETT DAVIS put himself to un^necessary trouble the other day, when he declared that he never subscribed to newspapers, cared nothing for what they said, and certainly never read them. It Is well enough known tnat the absurd old Keutuckiau is wholly unacquainted with the events of the present generation. His studies in modern history closed with the Resolutions of '98, and Mie has never been able to appreciate the lessons which the records of older times eolivey to less bigoted minds. He is an inteilectu&l mummy, aud has been too long kept above ground.

And we cure thein—at Mattoon they never get well.

AUDITOR ROYSE goes into office this morning, and Auditor Paddock

Mr. Paddock retires from the office, after having served the "dear people" of Vigo county a couple of years, in the most satisfactory manner. His record as Auditor is one of which he can justly be proud.

A RAKE CHANCK.—Mr. Jerry Voris would like a couple of gentlemen day boarders. We would recommend the place in the highest terms to any persons desiring a boardingplace. There is not a better place to board in the city. "We know how it is ourself"' for we have been there.

BURGLARS AT NEWPORT.—Burglars effected an entrance into the Vermillion county Court House at Newport last night and ransacked the building in a most wanton and disgraceful manner, though the scoundrels secured nothing of value. It is hoped that they will pay the Court House another visit under other circumstances before they are much older.

LET THE GOOD WORK PROGRESS.— The Evansville, Terre Hiute & Chicago lilroad is progressing nicely. TJie new bridge across the LittleVermillion river is now completed and regular trains will run through from this point to E igone very soon, as all that remains to be done is to lay a few miles of rails, and the track is ready for the railing. It will not bp very long until regular trains will run to Chicago. It cannot he too soon.

THANKS.—The Ash Club, of Paris, III., will please accept our thanks for complimen'aries to attend their reception at Mullins & Redmon's Hall, on the evening of Friday, the 11th inst. From the list of names on the committee of invitation and introduction, we predict that it will be one of the most pleasant and successful entertainments ever given in tha' beautiful little city. We wish them success unlimited and pleasure unalloyed.

ASSAULTISTS IN TROUBLE.—Officer Vandever came into the city from Sugar Creek about noon to-day, having in charge as prisoners, John Wilson and Charley Payne, charged with assaulting three other persons with stones night before last, one of the party assaulted being severely injured. Ed. says ten of the stalwart yeomanry of that locality came in ou horseback as an escort. They will have their trial at the Mayor's office this afternoon sometime.

PERFECTLY SPLENDID.—A couple of handsome ''school inarms" of this city came across a copy of Bret Harte's "Heathen Chinee," a few evennigs since and pronounced it "perfectly splendidand after having read it a few times and seeing a pnotograph of the handsome author, pronounced it the "dearest little poem" they had ever seen, and did *not close their eyes in slumber until both had committed it to memory, and it is nowrumored that they are so infatuated that they quote from it daily, and that the "young shooting ideas" under their charge are learning to quote it also.

FIRE.—The alarm of tire that was sounded about half-past two o'clock this afternoon and which caused such a rush, was occasioned by a fire being discovered in the barn of Mr. Isaac Beauehamp, just in the rear of his residence, near the corner of Sixth and E igle streets.

The fire wis

com.n

inicated to the

building from a sm ill heap of trash tluv vvas burning in the bacljryatd. The engines went out promptly, but the flame were suppressed before they reached the -cene of action, by the use of pails in the hands of some energetic young men, who have the thanks of the family.

The flames were arrested before any material damage was done.

THE ROOSTERS "SOLD AGAIN."—Sat urday afternoon quite a flock of "roosters" took up their oid position oi the railing alongside of the "Buckey Cash Store." In a few minutes thereafter the physiogomy of one of tin genial and gentlemany clerks of that establishment, illuminated with a broad grin, was observed at a window immediatelp over the railing, and shortly afleiwards, the ad vert nent of "Employment wanted for these insters," which created such a sensation among tl chanticleers last week, was gently ai noiselessly placed in position over their heads, and was there but a few minu'es until loud

A LIVELY RUNAWAY.—About1o'clock to-day, a team attached to a farm wagon became frightened when near the Terre Haute House and ran at lightning.«peed. leaving the wreck of the wagon scattered on their wake as they ran down Ohio street. As they passed the residence of Mr. Ryce on that street, Mrs. R. was observed in her buggy just ready to start out driving and Unhorses in their wild flight were making towards where her horse stood, she sprang from the vehicle, to which her horse was attached, with the agility and elegance of a gazelle, and heroically seized the animal by the bridle, and thus prevented another serious runaway no doubt.

Sitersof

Messrs. E dridge, Brooks, of New York, Randall and oilier Democrats denounced the propo-ition in unmeasured terms. Amid great excitement, Mr. Brooks avowed that Democrats would resist even at tlIe h.tzard of revolution.

Mr. Van Wyck declared that the Forty-second Congress could adopt its wn rules, and that the present Congress nad found the existing rules necessary to secure honest legislation.

Mr. E^lridge thanked God that there were some honest men on the Republican side of thtf House.

MEN may talk about business, how to manage it, of the cash and credit system, but to make any business successful it is absolutely necessaay to use printers' ink in some way or other, and the best and cheapest way is by advertising in a newspaper. Tne newspaper is taken home and read by the entire family, aud then loaned to the neighbors, where it is read again. The merchant's advertisement is then kept before the public much longer than it is possible to do in any other way. Circulars are very seldom carried into the family circle—they are picked up generally by the first per.-on that goes into the yard, its contents glanced at and thrown away. In many cases the liu.sband or father first picks it up, and if it happens to tell of the bargains ottered in dry goods or ladies' fancy
