This is a great country for funny men. Seven years ago four of our most noted funny men, Mark Twain, John Paul, Petroleum V. Nasby and Bret Harte— were all poor and hard working writers. The three first named are now all rich men, and the last mentioned has just been engaged in Boston at a salary of ten thousand dollars a year. The first named got his for fortune by matrimony, the second by speculation, and the third by popular lecturing. If you wish to be rich, be funny, but don't be too funny.
Nilsson sang in Richmond, on Wednesday evening of last week, and here is a specimen of what the Enquirer says of her: "We were disappointed in Nilsson. She is a beautiful woman—evidently thoroughly spoilt—she got mad and made faces almost every time she came upon the stage. Sometimes the footlights seemed to put her out, and then the window, and then a lot of boys. She frowned accordingly and pouted. But sfie was magnificently dressed—a red dress, trimmed with lace, pinned close around the hips."
Additional Local News.

We are glad that Mr. Hess, after being so unfortunate, was luck}'enough to seli his sheep for so good a price.
Two SIDES.—There are two sides to all questions—two parties in every town. One is progressive the other is not. One favors public improvements the other opposes. One would have their children attend school in a comfortable, well-ventilated and healthful school house the other is satisfied with an uncomfortable, ill-ventilated and unhealthy old shell. To which do you belong?
GJ OI« FRANCIS TRAIN lectured in this city on Tuesday evening, ilo's a jolly old lunatic, George is. But there's method in his madness. We look upon him as a higher order ot "J. N." Wheeling Va.,) Keus.
Wonder what "J. N." would think of the comparison We will agree that Geo. Francis Train would not appreciate his share of the honor incident to the comparison. Nothing like excentricity to give an individual notoriety
WHO IS HE?—We were shown a letter at the postoffice yesterday addressed to the Rev. George W. Cummings, Terre Haute, Indiana. We at first wondered it it could be the "Moravian Missionary," but when we observed oil the margin of the envelope that the P. M. was directed to forward to the missionary fields of South Africa,-if not called for in ten days, we were convinced that the "Moravian" was the gentleman addressed.
"VINCENNES MORAL AND SOCIAL UNION."—An association has been organized at Vincennes which has for its object "the mental, moral and physical improvement of the young men and youths of the city and the gradual formation and development of a more decided public opinion in favor of abating vice and immorality in their midst and the establishment of a higher tone of society in general." We know of no place in Indiana or elsewhere where such an association is more needed and anticipate flattering results.
HOTEL PERSONALS.—James O. Woodruff, Esq., wife and child, of Indianapolis S. P. Thorpe, New York IT. Houghton, Cleveland Henry Robertson, agent ofO. S. Fowler, Phrenologist, and W. R. Stougiiton and lady, of Manchester, N. IT., are registered at the Terre Haute House.

I. M. Brown, ot' the Sullivan Union, is registered at the Buntin House.
FUN AND WHAT IT .COST.—A short time since, upon the occasion of a masquerade ball in Vincennes, a daughter of Dr. Patton, of that city, attired herself as a priest, and a young lady friend of hers as a nun, and in company rallied forth in the ball, at which the Catholic element of that little burg took offense, and very much sectarian feelings has grown out of the little piece of "fun and frolic," thoughtlessly and playfully indulged in by the young ladies. Miss Patton, who played the part of the priest, had the pleasure of paying her $2 for admission to the ball.
SWEET ON GRANT.—A few days since, upon the occasion of the Odd Fellows' celebration at LaFayette, which was attended by President Grant, and when the President was coming out of the dining room of the Lahr House, a buxom lass of some sixteen summers, who resides at Ladoga, rushed out into the hall where he was and throwing her muscular arms affectionately about his neck almost smoothered him with "red hot" kisses, not even giving his Excellency time to take the stump of afragant Havana from his moutli, which, when coming in contact with the slobbers from her sweet lips "scizzled" to an extent only equalled by the magnificant soda fountain of Messrs. Buntin & Madison.
WHAT THE NEIGHBORS SAY OF RIDDLE.—\Ve clip from the Marshall Messenger of this week the following very flattering notice of the people's favorite, T. H. Riddle, which we heartily indorse:
RIDDLK.—The name that heads this article is becoming as familiar as the most common household word, and all in consequence of his active business qualifications. T. H. Riddle is the active, moving, leading spirit of trade in Torre Haute. He commenced business without capital, other than a sound head and honest heart, and by dint of close application to business can now boast of the finest fancy store kept in the thriving city of Terre Haute. Those who have any curiosity to know whether we have told the truth or not will please call and see for themselves. Whenever you see a lady in possession of some fancy article, she will, if interrogated, tell you that it was procured at "Riddle's."
THE FATHER OF PHRENOLOGY.—Prof. O. S. Fowler, better known in the east, as the father of phrenology, and his family, will arrive in'the city this afternoon and will stop at the Terre Haute House until the 3d of May, lecturing each evening and several afternoons upon the science of phrenology and its bearing upon the life, health and happiness of our race. During the greater part of the day he will devote his attention making examinations of the heads of such of our citizens as will call upon him, and giving them charts phonographically reported, or charts as published, and then marked.
We would commend the Prof, to the attention of our citizens as being preeminently the greatest phrenologist of the age, and to him more than any other man is the science indebted to its dissemination among mankind. Don't fail to go and hear andeee him.

SANTA FE., April 28.—The Daily Post has the following correspondence from La Mesilla, under date of April 22:
Mr. Cosgrove, of the firm of S. T. Bennett & Co., left here this morning to look after the last two coaches, as they have not arrived. It is reported, and doubtless it is true, that they have both been captured by the Indians and all on board killed.
Every account from the West says the Indians are getting worse and worse, both on and off the road. They have been killing again near Silver City, and a
party
of soldiers and about 50 citizens
are now out in pursuit. Last week the Indians ran off* all Mr. Stead's and some other cattle about a mile from town. Nothing has been heard of them since. Things are coming to a focus in this part of the country, for the Indians seem more determined than ever to annihilate the whites of southern Mexico and Arizonia, and unless some assistance is given pretty soon it really seems that they have good grounds for hoping to accomplish their end.
The Indians seem determined to entirely interrupt the mails between this place and Tuscon, and thereby cut off the communication between the two sections of country.
Mr. Hantz, Conductor of J. J. Bennett & Co.'s Pacific Overland Mail and Express Line has just reached Sante Fe, and gives the following information: He left La Messilla on the afternoon of the 24th. News had then reached there that one of the coaches of the c?mpany had been found on the road between La Messilla and Tuscon burned—the body of the driver was also found with his breast cut open and his heart taken out, split in two and laid over his face.
Four Frenchmen at San Pedro, on the route, were also killed also, six immigrants coming from Tuscon to New Mexico, were killed. Some of the captured mail had' been found with checks cut to pieces, and was brought in Messilla by one of the conductors.
The Indians, a few days since, killed two Mexicans and a German at Lone Mountain, and wounded another American at Silver City.

carricd 720 cars of coal per day. Nearly all of this was shipped to Newburg or Jersey City and belonged to the Pennsylvania Coal Company. A large quantity is also carried on ordinary freight trains to points along the line. It is expected that the rolling stock will prove inadequate to the demands which will bo made upon it by the coal traffic this year. A vein of anthracite coal has been discovered in a stone quarry at Monroe, Orange county, a station on the Erie Railroad. There are valuable iron mines at this point, and experienced geologists say there are indications of the existence of a coal lied below the level of the vein. A company has been organized to make further investigations.

A Woman Passing for a Man for Sixteen Years. On Monday, at the Manchester County Police Court, says a Liverpool paper of a late date, two men were brought in custody, charged with being drunk and disorderly. Superintendent Bent said one of the two men in the dock was a woman. When arrested on Sunday morning, both prisoners were respectively attired in male costume. While they were at the police station, witness was struck with the appearance of ihe smaller of the two, and after looking closely at the prisoner, said: "Why, you are 'a woman." The prisoner stoutly denied the charge, but shortly afterward, on being closely pressed, admitted the fact, and told a remarkable story of her adventures. She said that sixteen years ago she and her husband were schoolmaster and schoolmistress at a national school at Gloucester. Her husband lost his situation through drinking, and subsequently they both learned the art of house-paint-ing. Her

Tale of a Handkerchief.
There is one touching incident in the life of William Wirt. In his younger days he was a victim to the passion for intoxicating drinks which seems particularly the bane of the profession. Affianced to a beautiful and accomplished young woman, he had made and broken repeated pledges of amendment, and she, after patiently and kindly enduring his disgraceful habit had at length dimissed him,'deeming him incorrigible. Their next meeting, after his dismissal, was in a public street in the city of Richmond. William Wirt lay drunk and asleep, on the sidewalk, on a hot summer day, the rays of the sun pouring down on his uncovered head and flies crawling over his swollen features. As the young ladyapproached in her walk, her attention was attracted by the spectacle, strange to her eyes, but alas so common to others who knew the victim, as to attract little remark. She did not at first recognize the sleeper, and was about to hasten on, when she was led by one of those impulses which formed the turning point in human life, to scrutinize his features. What was her emotion when she recognized in him her discarded lover. She drew forth her handkerchief and carefully spread it over his face, and hurried away. When Wirt came to himself he found the handkerchief, and in one corner the initials of the beloved name. With a heart almost breaking with grief and remorse, he made a new vow of reformation. He kept that vow and married the owner of that handkerchief.
