Too MUCH FOR A LITTLE.—A gentleman, who resides on Sixth street, who is noted for his unenviable "stinginess,' remarked a day or two since upon the occasion of his better half buying $92.53 worth of millinery goods, that he could put the whole amount in his "stove pipe hat" and then wear the hat without inconvenience.
TIIE LATEST.—The latest novelty in the market in the way of soap was invented by the mother of a numerous fam ily of homely daughters in Chicago, and is designed for the especial use of ambitious aud aspiring mammas to get their daughters off their hands. It commands a good price and ready sale in many localities—not in this city, however oh, no.
THE SILVER SHOW.—As announced by advertisement in amusement column, Sam Sharpley's groat Gift Enterprise and Carnival of fun is coming, and will be at Dowling Hall all the coming week, during which time an entertaining performance will be presented and large quantities of useful and ornamental articies will be given away with a liberal hand. Of course Dowling Hall will be crowded.
RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION.—A lady acquaintance who was acting as gratuitous amanuensis in writing a letter for a lady friend last week, had the impudence to throw the letter into the fire when nearly finished, for the simple reason that the lady for whom she was writing modestly requested her to close the letter by saying: "Please excuse bad spelling and writing."
GOSSIP.—AVe feel like changing an old couplet, into "A little scandal now and then, is relished by the best of men." It is the everlasting story telling that bothers us. Every day, we hear some gossip until we wonder if everybody hears as much choice gossip, scandal aud slander as the editor. And then the very select parties implicated. We could each week make up a choice collection and use names until we would make folks open their eyes wide.
MISHAP.—Yesterday afternoon, while Foster Bros.' storo was crowded with people, the shelving on one side of the room .nave way, and lell on the counters, throwing all ilie goods thereon on the floor. No one was hurt, and besides having the goods trampled under foot, and giving the Indies somewhat a scare, no damage was done.—Evansville Courier.
Evansville counters were not made to support such piles of weighty goods as Foster Bros., heap upon them, and as a consequence gave way. These enterprising gentlemen, however, will have to replenish their stock if the grand rush of the opening day continues.
IN concluding a notice of the Primary and Intermediate departments of the Normal School of that city, the Terre Haute Gazetie says: "Altogether, it is an honor to our city to have a school so ably conducted, and we venture the assertion, without any fear of contradiction, that in their respective departments two teachers, superior to Miss Douuohue and Miss Morris, can not be fouud anywhere in the schools of this land."
The Miss Donnohue referred to above is a citizen of this county.—Greencastle Banner.
Well may Old Putnam or any other county in this fair State be proud to call Miss Donnohue a citizen thereof. We have the honor of claiming her as a citizen of Vigo county to all practical purposes. Putnam can have the name of being her native county, while we have her services.
CHARACTERISTIC OF THE FIRM.—Never in the history of Evansville, have we heard ot such an excitement in the dry goods line as was created yesterday by the opening of Foster Bro.s' store. The store was so" densely crowded that it became necessary to lock the doors to keep others from pushing in. After the doors were locked, rainy as as it was, the pavement was literally* jammed with persons waiting to got in.—Evansvvile Ocntrier.
Such an excitement is incident to their grand openings wherever they establish OIIQ of their mammoth houses, not only, but it is kept up with interest after they have become thoroughly established in business, as their record in this city and other cities where they have been established for some time, will show. There is but one reason to assign for this great excitement, and their consequent unlimited success, and that is, their wholesale and judicious advertising.
THE poorest and hardest working man in the country has reason to be thankful that he is not an overworked drudge of a pencil shover, who is expected to fill up a paper with interesting reading matter, whether anything of importance transpires or not. The most thankless and wearisome occupation is that of an editor of a newspaper.—Terre Haute Gazette,
This is exceedingly plaintive and touching. We venture that the editor of the GAZETTE has been watching: the peach buds blow, and is attacked with that rural feeling which is so apt to take possession of one in the Spring. Have patience the spell will break.—Evansville Journal.
The peach buds have not "blowed" here yet, though we plead "guilty" to the charge of having suffered an attack of "that rural feeling which is so apt to take possession of one in the Spring." But as the Journal predicted, the spell has broken, an I we trust, effectually, for the year. a

Vinoy is superceded in command of the army by General Barral. Charlette has succeeded in arming and placing at the disposition of the Government eight thousand Bretons.
PARIS, March 30.—The manufacturers of Paris have asked permission of the authorities at the Hotel de Ville to resume work. The reply was certainly, but workmen must keep their arms stacked, and ready to use, as a conflict is very probable.
The Communists still disagree among themselves, as to their future movements. No courts are open in Paris, all the judges having fled from the city. Thirty-five hundred law cases remain in abeyance The monthly salary of Communist Councilors is fixed at three hundred francs.

STOCKHOLM, March 30.—The Queen of Sweden is dead. WASHINGTON, March 31.—There is some dissatisfaction among members of Congress in consequence of Speaker Blaine not having appointed the standing committees of the House, and a noncompliance with the rule of the House requiring the appointment of committees at the commencement of the session. It is considered a derelection of duty on the part of the Speaker, for which no reason has been assigned.

NEW YORK, March 31.—The Times' Washington dispatches of the 29th say Frederick Douglass had an audience with the President yesterday, at which were present Secretary Robeson and Attorney General Akerman. In reply to an inquiry of the President, Douglass gave his impression of the Republics of Dominica and Hayti. He said in his judgment the Dominicans were afar superior people to the Haytiens that there is no Republicanism whatever in Hayti and that the Government there is an absolute despotism, of the most oppressive character. Douglass expressed his regret at the course Sumner had seen fit to pursue, but he said he had strong hopes that Sumner would change the opinious which he now holds on the subject as soon as he had read the report of the Commissions. "If Suifiner, after that," said Douglass, "shall persevere in his present policy I shall consider his opposition fractious, and regard him as the worst foe the colored race has on this continent." Douglass strongly favors annexation, and it is not improbable that he will shortly give public utternaces to his conviction.
A dispatch from Port Jarvis says the sixteen locomotives seized at that place to satisfy the judgment in favor of Dyke

the Erie Company are still held
by the Sheriff, and will be sold on Monday, unless released. The case of Dyke is a test one, and if he is successful others of the Carr's Rock victims will probably follow. The business interests of the road do not suffer from the seizure, as there are plenty of engines at Port Jarvis to use, as the coal strike has laid many aside.
Bergh, while making a raid on Williamsburg car drivers, yesterday, was assaulted by the drivers, but the police rescued him and arrested two of the assailants.
CINCINNATI, March 31.—The Cincinnati Evening Post, a new three cent daily, made its appearance last evening.
BOSTON, March 31.—The damaging testimony in the development before the Legislative committee investigating the bribery charges against the State constabulary has led to a renewal of the liquor seizures on a more extensive scale than heretofore. This afternoon $15,000
worth of liquors were seized in the store of Ralph Smith, in Exchange street, and $10,000 worth from Morton & Davis, Commercial street. Mr. Davis, of the latter firm, testified before the committee yesterday that the firm had paid S10 monthly to one of the State constables, and various sums to others of the force during the last few years.

COXG31ESSIOJTAI. SUMJIABT.
WASHINGTON, March 30. Senate.
A motion entered sometime since by Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, to reconsider the vote passing Mr. Wilson's one hundred dollar bounty bill to carry ont the decision of the Supreme Court, was adopted.
Mr. Wilson then moved a modification of the bill, to give bounty to those who had been disabled by sickness or disability contracted in service. This would reach about one-half the cases under the decision of the Court, the remainder would have to be provided for hereafter.
Mr. Casserly desired time to examine the matter, and upon his request the subject went over without action till tomorrow.
The consideration of Mr. Anthony's amendment to the order of business, to allow consideration of any bill on the South passed by the House of Representatives, was resumed.
Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, spoke in refutation of the charges of Mr. Sherman, against the peace and order of the South, particularly his own State. He defended the loyalty aud law-abiding character of the people of Kentucky, and enumerated various grievances to which they had been subjected at the hands of the general government, among which was the refusal to make compensation to their owners for slaves enlisted in the army at the beginning of the war in Kentucky, Maryland and other loyal States. Congress had refused an appropriation of $300 for each slave, and he believed the Senator from Ohio, (Sherman), was among those who thus voted.
Mr. Sherman replied that he had been in favor of paying $300 and believed there was at the time a majority in the Senate in favor of it.
Mr. Pomeroy—I would not vote to pay it. Mr. Blair here explained that payment had been prevented by the unauthorized act of Secretary Stanton.
Mr. Davis. A more lawless dictator was never in power than that same Secretary of War. If justice had been dealt out to him in his lifetime for his crimes, he would have been hung a hundred times for murder, and put in the penetentiary ten thousand times for his crimes. [Sensation.]
At this point the morning hour expired, when it was agreed to take a vote on the question.
Mr. Thurman's amendment requiring any bill that might be received from the House to be referred to a committee before action by the
~v7'T"::
Senate was voted down,
only fourteen Senators rising in the affirmative. Mr. Anthony's resolution was then adopted without division.
Mr. Sherman's resolution instructing the Judiciary Committee to bring in a bill to repress Ku Klux outrages, was then proceeded with, and Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, whose remarks had been interrupted by the expiration of the morning hour, was awarded the floor. He gave notice that he would present his views at length at the proper time, and would then pay his respects to the Administration, taking authority for all he would say from historic records of the Administration, as made by its own friends.
Mr. Wilson said he held iu his hand a list of the victims of murder and outrage committed in Kentucky during the last month of 1S65, and the first ten months of 1866, and to this he invited the attention of Senator Davis and his colleague, Stevbnson. It appeared that in this time there were 19 murders of freedmen, and 233 cases of freedmen who had been maltreated without being killed. Two white Union men were at the same time murdered, and four others assailed with intent to Kill. It might be an interesting task for the two Senators from Kentucky to attempt to furnish a list of offenders who had suffered death or imprisonment for these outrages. Had there been a single case of punisnmeut? The honorable Senators might argue from now to eternity, but they could not obliterate these facts.
Mr. Davis replied that many outrages were committed by negroes upon negroes. It was certainly true that such lawlessness had prevailed in Kentucky, just after the soldiers of both armies were wandering about, plundering and wreaking private vengeance, but now comparative quiet prevailed.
Mr. Stevenson said the only fault in the people of Kentucky was, in refusing to believe in the superiority of the negro race. To show that the Senator from Indiana (Morton) at one time entertained the same views, he read extracts from a speech delivered by him in 1865, opposing negro suffrage as dangerous to the country, holding negroes to be unfit to wield the franchise, aud that they should undergo a probationary period.
Mr. Morton proceeded to read from what he stated to be an official list ot murders and outrages committed in Kentucky.
Mr. Stevenson inquired what official list he meant. Mr. Morton replied it was an official record prepared by the Freed men's Bureau. [Derisive laughter on the Democratic side.]
Mr. Stevenson. We do not recognize the Freedmeu's Bureau as an authority iu Kentucky.
Mr. Morton. You do not recognize any authority. You do not allow negroes to testify, and if you could succeed in excluding all testimony, it would be easy for you to prove that Kentucky is a law-abiding State.
Mr. Blair desired Senator Morton to answer candidly one question, whether negroes had not been entrusted with the ballot, in order to obtain^ Republican votes .•
A-TSC.
Mr. Morton replied it was well known that reconstruction could not be accomplished on a white basis, the people of the South would not acceptthe situation.
Mr. Blair emphatically. They did ac-. cept the situation, they did abolish slavery and never lifted a hand against the Government since, and any one who as

serts to the centrary, asserts that which is not true. [General applause iu the galleries.]
The Chair stated that if the disorder was repeated he would have to direct the Sergeant-at-Arms to enforce the rule.
Mr. Morton said he would conclude what he had to say by asking for the reading of an editorial from the Louisville Courier-Journal, on the Kentucky Leglislature. It was a photograph by a Democratic paper of the Democratic Legislature. The article was read. It in substance declared the Ku Klux were in Kentucky in formidable numbers, and were terrible in acts. That the Legislature had failed to do anything to suppress them, but speut its time in whisky and champagne drinking, smoking cigars and lobbying, and praying that the State may never look upon its like again, &c.
Mr. Morton explained, in reply to Mr. Thurman, that he did not mean to say that lawlessness was universal among the Democratic party of Kentucky. He admitted that the late Governor and now Senator, (Stevenson,) and two Democratic Judges had done their duty, as also one Democratic paper, the Louisville Courier-Journal, out of forty published in the State, but they were unable to influence the Democratic party in the State.
Mr. Pool obtained the floor, and at 5 o'clock, after a brief executive session, the Senate adjourned.
House.
On motion of Mr. Wilson, of Indiana, the House took up and passed the Senate bill granting Phoebe Safield a pension of :?S0 per month, from June 15, 1867, she being at that time 100 years old and the widow of a revolutionary soldier.
The House proceeded to consideration of the bill reported from the special committee.
The bill was debated by Messrs. Beck, of Kentucky, Dawes, Blair, of Michigan, Wood, Kelly, Brooks, Eldridge, Maynard and others until 4:30, when the House adjourned.

HAIRVIGOR.
AYES'®
A I
VIGOR,
For the Renovation of tlie Hair! The Great Desideratum of the Age! A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair ia soon restored to its original color and the gloss ana freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, 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 such as re» main 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
IIAIK DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
