MISCELLANEOUS SUJOLIRV.

An "all-healing" mineral spring been discovered at Grand Haven. It only costs flO to lick a Milwaukee editor." Cheap.

Brigham Younger., has proposed to the young ladies' sccBbary, lately opened by the Methodists at Salt Lake. "How odd it is," said Pat, as he trudged along on foot one hot sultry day, "that a man never meets a cart going the same way he is." "Woman is a delusion, madam!" exclaimed a crusty old bachelor, to a wity young lady. "A man is always hugging some delusion or other," waa the quick reply.

The government clerks object to burying each other upon compulsion. They say that they don't live long enough in Washington to die. They refuse to pay assessments on death, and swear that they have enough assessments to pay on political life.

Horace Greeley writes to a Kansas subscriber that the Bologna sausage tree will grow in any climate except the extreme northern. The roots should be covered in winter.

When a man and a woman are made one, the question is:1 "Which one?" Sometimes there is a long struggle between them before the matter is settled.

A gentleman having a dear servant was advised by a Iriend to discharge her. "No," replied the gentleman, with much good leeling, "that poor creature could never hear ot another situation.'?

A big, stout man came into our sanctum last night, says a Texas editor, carrying what we at first took to be a kit of mackerel or a keg of molasses, but we found out afterwards that it was a great potato, Avoighing thirteen pounds. "Fancy," said Sydney Smith to some ladies, when he was told that the giraffes at the Zoological gardens had caught a cold, "a giraffe with two yards of sore throat." "Mister tomus brown, president of nashurnal Bank, fellerdelfy," was the superscription on a letter that recently passed through the Boston postoffice.

A Boston street car conductor has been presented with a diamond pin, tor re

any vacancies on that line A playful and powerful man, at work in the Kittery navy yard, throw his arms over a companion's waist, and gave him such a hearty squeeze as to injure him internally, so that the man died. No harm was intended.

The last slang phrase, improved, is found in the announcement by an exchange that a Vicksburg paper, named All About It, "has ascended the tin tube." "Haus, what's the matter?" "De sorrel wagon has run away mit de green horse, and broke de axeltree of de brick house what stands by de corner lamp post across de telegraph."

John H. Surratt wears a sandy mustache and a goatee of carroty color. His lace is thin, his cheek bones are high, and his eyes are set well back in their sockets. He is a thin-legged gentleman, and reads like a school boy. He drops the final g's of all the present participles.

A sixteen-year-old girl, near Pittsburg, last week, kicked her father through the house, across the yard, and locked him up in the cow stable, because he went to town and spent all his money tor whisky, instead of buying her a new bonnet as promised.

Bret Harte, the gentleman who was the original inventor of the "Heathen Chinee," is in Boston. He says he has "burned his ships," like another noted heathen, of old times, and will not go back to California but has not decided upon his future place of residence,

In an Indianapolis Justice's Court, the other day, Josiah Dean was fined $10 for profanity. .The tax-payers talk of opening correspondence with Mr. Greeley, with the hope of inducing him to make the Indiaua Capital his home. At the rate above quoted, they think the city revenue from cussin' would be sufficient for all practical purposes, without any levy of direct taxes.

There is a little railroad near Bayou Sara, Louisiana, that runs to Woodville on a very uncertain schedule. A stranger came in the other day, and inquired how often that steam car made trips into the country. The party interrogated said "Tri-weekly." "What do you mpan by tri-weekly?" The answer was, "It goes up one week, and tries to come down the next."

IF anybody thinks the war between France and Germany is ended, he is greatly mistaken. The armistice has been simply extended. Henceforth France will dream, work, arm, scheme, for revenge and the resumpton of hostilities is only a question of time. Kaiser William had it in his power to conclude a

Eeace

which would have disarmed French atred and ameliorated the humiliation of a proud people over their defeat. But, with characteristic disregard of everything save self, he exacted the last drop of blood, the last grain of the pound of flesh. He could not even resist the empty and indecent project of marching his troops through Paris. If there is justice in the average progress of human occurrences, these exactions and humiliations will yet bear bloody fruits.—Chicago Times.

To CURE colic in horses take a piece of carpet, blanket, or any thick material, large enongh to cover the horse from his fore to his hind legs, and from the spine to the floor as he lies, wring it out in water hot as you can stand. You need not fear scalding the animal. Apply this to the horse, and cover it with a similar dry cloth. As soon as the heat diminishes-much, dip the wet cloth again in hot water. This plan will within an hour cure the worst case of colic-rAmeri can Stock Journal.

WHEN Mrs. Edward J. Doolittle, of New Haven, was preparing for her husband's funeral, she told the undertaker that he might as well prepare for her burial one week from that day, as it would then take place. She was in ap-

Sarent

good health as ever, but she

rooped and died, and was buried as she had prophesied. This is another sad warning to people who are always prophesying.

Additional Local News.

DIED OP HIS INJURIES.—Mr. Alex. Thompson, who was so brutally assaulted by one Tapscott, some time since, died from the effects of the injuries sustained this morning, and the Coroner is now holding an inquest over his remains, with what result has not been determined at the time of going to press.

JOURNALISTIC.—Mr. R. S. Sproule has retired from the reportoral corps of the Indianapolis Sentinel and gone into the Insurance business as general agent of the Continental Life Insurance Com pany of New York, with headquarters in Cleveland. May success ever attend this genial gentleman, whatever be his avocation in life, is the wish of his many friends.

A BLACK DIAMOND.—Professor(?) Da Mond, proves to be not Da Mond but Diamond, and a black one at that. He left this city because of his infamous record in other cities following him, and went to Fort Wayne, where we learn he victimized the confiding and unsuspecting out of about one hundred dollars, whose only consolation is that "what is their loss is his gain," which is not the sweetest consolation. He is a- villain of the first water, and we would warn the people against him wherever he may go. Let the press denounce him, and many of their readers will be benefitted more than to the amount of a year's subscription.

Franco-Prussian War.

WATER WORKS.—As will be seen by our Council report, measures are likely to be taken to supply our city with pure water, by some worthy system of water works, by a joint stock company, composed of our leading and public spirited citizens taking the matter in hand, who will sell them for original investment and ten per cent, added thereto, at such a time as the city may feel able to pay for the same. It strikes us that this one proposed is the proper way to secure this much needed improvement. Let such a charter be granted the company as will protect the right of our citizens and at the saiire time be an inducement to gentlemen to undertake and push the enterprise through successfully. Every one will readily concede that water works are much needed while but few are in favor of having the city burdened with taxation, it seems to us that this plan proposed at the Council meeting last evening will meet with the hearty approbation of all classes of our citizens.

Mr W. E. Shelledy, late of Waveland, has accepted a position in this city as canvassing agent of Messrs. W. H. Page & Co.'s music store. He will canvass the city and "country around about" with musical instruments and popular music books.

Mr. J. T. C. Watson, formerly of this city, now of Charleston, Ills., and one of the head clerks under the new postal system on the Indianapolis & St. Louis railroad, was the Terre Haute House last evening. His many friends in this city are always pleased to see him, for "Tom." is one of the most genial and pleasant gentlemen in the U. S. mail service.

C. S". Gould arrived in the city last evening. He will please accept of our thanks for Eastern papers of recent date, with which he kindly furnished us.

Franco-Prussian War.

MANY of our readers will remember Rosalie Marretta, the little trapeze performer at the Theater Comique last summer, and whose feat of walking a rope from the roof of the Theater to Hulman's building, attracted such crowds, and occasioned so many expressions of wonder, because of her daring and successful accomplishment of the perilous walk. From the following, which we copy from the Kansas City Bulletin of a few days ago, it will be seen that the little girl came very near being fatally injured in that city:

Last evening while a crowded house was witnessing the daring and wonderful trapeze performances of the Maretta sisters at the Walnut Street Theater, the audience, was suddenly thrown into the most intense excitement by seeing the younger of the sisters—"little Rosalie"—lose her balance and fall head-long from the roof of the theater. She had twisted herself around the hanging trapeze bar, and hanging by her feet head downwards, when in attempting to raise herself up again, her feet slipped from the bar, and she fell with a heavy "thud" to the floor of the theater. An exclamation of horror went forth from the audience, and a rush was made to raise the prostrate child. She was carried behind the scenes and medical aid sent for.

It was found on examination that little Rosalie had escaped, as by a miracle, any serious injuries, and when a few minutes afterward the child passed out with tearful face and bandaged arm, the audience gave vent to their sympathy and admiration by a hearty peal of applause.

Favre and Simon have tendered their resignations, but Thiers will not accept them.

LONDON, March 7.—The Tost learns that the prospect of a settlement of all matters in dispute between the United States and England, by the High Commission at Washington, is very promising. There is, says the Post, an evident disposition to treat all topics with fairness. Discussions will first take place upon the question of fisheries, and afterwards upon the Alabama claims.

LONDON, March 7.—In the House of Commons, to-night, Mf. Gladstone, replying to a question, of which Mr. D'Israeli gave notice last night, denied that the Government had any knowledge of a secret treaty between the Czar and Prussia. He also intimated that the conference on the Euxine question would not adjourn for some time to come.

Mr. Goschen's acceptance of the office of First Lord of the Admirality was announced.

The House agreed to the appointment of a common reform in the patent laws. ROME, March 7.—The Pope has had a secret consistory, in which he delivered an allocution of considerable length. The Holy father, in an address to the Cardinals, attacks the motives and acts of the authors of recent Italian events, and particularly the occupation of Rome, and rejects the guarantees of his spiritual power proposed by the bill which recently passed the Italian Parliament. He also laments the occurrence of the Franco-Prussian war, and expresses his gratitude for the devotion to himself and church of the whole Catholic world.

NEW YORK, March 7.—The forger, Van Eaton, upon whom sentence of imprisonment for nine years was pronounced by Recorder Hackett, on Fri day, was to have been conveyed to Sing Sing direct from the court room, but he pleaded so earnestly that one night's delay was granted him. It appears that he sought the delay in order to commit suicide, as the officers found when they came to remove him next day, that he had taken morphine. The dose was not effectual, however. His period of imprisonment under the present sentence, and that which will undoubtedly be pronounced against him, in San Francisco, will be 23 years.

The trial of Chadwick, the pal of Van Eaten, who acted as broker, was set down for to-day, but is deferred till Wednesday or Thursday^he case preceding it not having been completed, as was expected.

MERIDIAN, March 8.—Last Monday, during the trial of three negroes, before Justice Bramlette, for riotous conduct, one of the prisoners named Finley, alias Tylor, shot and instantly killed Justice Bramlette. An indiscriminate firing ensued, and two negroes were killed in the court room. The negro who killed the Justice jumped from a second story window, but was pursued and shot to death by the Sheriff and his posse. The citizens assembled in large numbers, and with arms, to assist the officers, and the Sheriff commanded them to disarm the negroes. In the execution of this order several negroes were killed by the Sheriff's party during last night. The total number of persons killed, as far as positively known, is seven—six negroes and Judge Bramlette.

The Mayor, William Sturgis, on his own request, this morning, after tender--ing his resignation, was given a safe conduct to the cars by the citizens, on the pledge to go North and never return.

A fire occurred on Saturday night, destroying property to the amount of $75,000, and Loften, the negro, was being tried as incendiary, when Tyler rose in court and shot Judge Bramlette.

Jackson Moon, a negro and prominent politician, and a member of the Mississippi Legislature, who was also a prisoner as accessory to the burning, was shot, it is supposed mortally.

Last night another fire occurred, destroying a church aud other buildings. A meeting of citizens was held, and a safety committee, to co-operate with the Sheriff in preserving order, appointed. All is now quiet.

The safety committee arrived here this evening to confer with Governor Alcorn on the .{natter.

Mayor Sturges, who left promising never to return, is a Connecticut man.

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.

Mr. Pomeroy introduced a bill to enable honorably discharged soldiers and sailors, aud their widows and orphans, to acquire homesteads on the public lands of the United States, the same bill which passed the House last session and failed in the Senate.

Mr. Pool presented a memorial from Joseph C. Abbott, of North Carolina, in which he claims to have received a clear majority of all the legal votes cast by the Legislature of that State, in the recent election for United States Senator, on the ground that Z. B. Vance being ineligible under the Constitution, was not entitled to be voted for, and has not therefore been elected.

Mr. Abbott therefore asks leave to maintain his claim to a seat in the Senate.

Mr. Morton introduced a joint resold1'' tion authorizing the President to appoint a commission to an international Congress on penitentiary discipline, &c., in Europe.

In reply to an inquiry by Mr. Sumner, it was stated that the proposed Congress would be held at Florence. The joint resolution was passed.

Mr. Poland submitted that that was not a question of privilege. The Speaker decided that it was not, but said he was very glad it was offered, and he would entertain it.

After

discussion, Mr. Niblack offered

to withdraw the resolution. The Speaker expressed a preference to have the House vote upon the motion to lay it on the table.

The question was taken, and the resolution was laid on the table without the yeas and nays.

On motion of Mr. Marshall a bill to remove the political disabilities of John H. Halley, of Jasper county Illinois, was

Mr. Marshall asked to have another bill passed, establishing*^ post route in Illinois.

Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, objected. If he could not have the people of the South protected from murder, ne (did not want a post route bill passed.

The House then, at 1:40, adjourned till Thursday.

IN HIS recent lecture on the microscope, Mr. Dickerson mentioned a curious instance of perpetual motion without apparent life or other motive power. "In inorganic nature," said Mr. Dickerson, "some curious movements are seen, which have as yet baffled investigation, but which are worthy of and are receiving strict examination. I have in my possession a small quantity of the white of an egg—white is almost pure albumen, and structureless—treated with a little carbonic acid and alcohol, hermetically sealed up in glass, where it has been several months. That is dead matter, so far as any matter can be said to be dead and yet under the microscope it appears filled with little spheres, which whirl about like little globules of water on a hot iron, never' ceasing by day or by night, and apparently never losing any part of the mysterious power which is expended in giving them motion. How is that done

The faculty of Dartmouth college had to turn a promising young man away, because he got drunk and asked a professor, "How are you, anyhow old hoss fly?"
